Chapter 513: Reversal of the Situation
"Feng Zhao, this time you led the army to rush and kill! If this Xiaoguo army is broken, the previous mistakes will not be blamed. Kong Yu said to Feng Zhao with a gloomy face.
Now Feng Zhao is no longer the previous high-spirited and heroic appearance, because of his meritorious service, he took the lead in leading the cavalry to charge into battle, but was overshadowed by the crossbowmen of the Xiaoguo Army, and suffered heavy losses, and there were only more than 300 cavalry left. Originally, when the fleeing Xiaoguo soldiers encountered a food transport team, who would have expected that they would carry a lot of bows and crossbows.
"The last general will be ordered ......," Feng Zhao said depressedly. After working hard for a long time, in the end, he could only offset his mistakes, how could he not be angry.
"I'm going to kill you all!" Looking at the Xiaoguo army gathered inside the grain cart, Feng Zhao muttered to himself gloomily.
"Report ...... General Qiyu, something is wrong, the Flame Qilin Banner suddenly rose in Muping City, and our Canglong Banner was taken off! At this moment, a horse galloped over, panicked and hurried.
"What? The banner of our city has been taken off? Who is so bold! What about Xu Pi, isn't Xu Pi stationed in the city! Kong Yu's face immediately changed greatly, and he shouted angrily.
"General...... This...... It's not good! This Flame Qilin Banner is...... Be...... The banner of the Xiaoguo Army! At this time, a small colonel on the side exclaimed.
Suddenly, Kong Yu, Feng Zhao and the others changed their faces greatly, and they remembered for a moment that the banner of the Xiaoguo Army on the opposite side was the Flame Qilin Banner. Could it be that Muping City was lost? Captured by the Xiaoguo Army?
Everyone was shocked, if Muping City was lost, their retreat would be gone, and there was no way to do it anyway, and there were still a few officers, and their families were also in the city. Because these two guards were stationed in the north of Xuzhou and the south of Qingzhou all the year round, to conquest, monitor, and suppress the rebels in Xuzhou, many officers took their families to Qingzhou. Now, their families are still in the city.
"What to do? General, what should we do now? ”
"Withdraw...... Return! I want to see how this city was lost. How could a thousand soldiers, five thousand well-trained young men, quietly lose the city? Kong Yu roared gloomily.
"Haha...... The city is in hand, and the guards have withdrawn! ”
"Now that this city is in hand, the remaining two counties should also be taken by the brothers of the third, fourth, and fifth capitals!" Leng Yan said with a smile.
"Well, there shouldn't be any problem, it seems that the injury on your arm is not in vain!" Han Lin said with a smile.
…………
It was menacing, but when I went back, I was in a hurry.
Kong Yoo's face was black and the bottom of the pot was fighting, he had a good fight with the Xiaoguo Army, how could it become like this? And that Muping City, how could it break through the city in this silent situation. In just one time, it was broken by the enemy, and even the news was obtained from a distance by his own exploration horse. Could it be that Xu Pi can't even get out the information? Or Xu Pi also......
"General, it's five miles from the city!" The voices of his subordinates interrupted Kong Yoo's thoughts. Kong Yu looked up and saw that on the city wall five miles away, the originally hanging Canglong Banner had turned into the now red Flame Qilin Flag, which completely shattered the hope and reverie he originally carried. The city is really lost.
"General, do we still want to go over?" Feng Zhao whispered on the side.
Kong Yu glanced at Feng Zhao coldly, and said coldly: "Originally, I only needed to defend the city, but I had to build a city to go out to fight." Fortunately, we have fallen for the trick of the Xiaoguo army to lure the enemy and break the city. How? Didn't you think you were quite brave before, but now you're afraid of death? ”
Feng Zhao's face stiffened, and he said: "That's not what the last general meant, it's just that this city has been lost, and we should retreat to the other two counties and make plans again." ”
"Haha...... Even the place of governance has been lost, what are the plans, our manpower is all gone. This city is broken, but what about the other two counties? Do you know if it still exists? Kong Yu sighed bitterly.
Seeing that the city had not been attacked at all, Kong Yu knew that this should be the guard's general who opened the city gate and led troops into the city, otherwise there would be no abnormality, and here, it was exactly the same as when he left. The only difference is the conspicuous red banner and the red armor of the city.
"Damn! It must be Xu Pi who has surrendered to the enemy! Otherwise, it would never be so clean and smooth! Kong Yu muttered angrily to himself.
"Xu Pi, what about Xu Pi? Let him come to General Ben! When the horse came to the city gate and was an arrow away, Kong Yu shouted.
In the middle of the night, Xu Pi appeared in the city, accompanied by the remaining officers of other armies who had changed into the clothes and armor of the Xiaoguo Army.
"Xu Pi, I've seen General Kong!" Xu Pi said lightly.
"Xu Pi. General Ben treats you well, why is that? Kong Yu pointed the long sword in his hand at Xu Pi in the city, and asked sharply.
Xu Pi replied lightly: "General, our army in Lingzhou Mansion is five thousand against fifteen, and three counties against five counties, and we will definitely be defeated." In addition, the 5,000 Xiaoguo troops who retreated from Donglai Province also came here by boat. In this way, 5,000 to 20,000, and the people's hearts are attached. You and I know what the odds are. ”
Kong Yu sneered: "Even so, what? Our army in Donglai Mansion has won a great victory, and our guard army has more than half of the territory of Langya Mansion, Gaomi Mansion, Jiaodong Mansion, Lingzhou Mansion and Qingzhou of Donglai Mansion, so why not be afraid of this 20,000 Xiaoguo army! You are playing with fire and self-immolation, killing yourself. Now, take down the Xiaoguo army around you, open the city gates, and set things right, there is still a glimmer of life. ”
Xu Pi shook his head and said in a loud voice: "The situation is not as the general said, the army of Xiaoguo has swept eastward in East Jizhou, and together with the Xuzhou Army all the way, cut off the supply and retreat of the southern guards, and the army of Zhao Xun, the governor of Youzhou, has been conscripted, and the entire army of 30,000 southern guards has been killed, of which more than 10,000 have surrendered. Langya Mansion is now the governor of Qingzhou. ”
"The Xiaoguo Army, the Qingzhou Mansion Army, and the Xuzhou Army, the three armies united to besiege the guards, so that the current guards have been trapped in the northeast of Qingzhou like the Xiaoguo Army in Donglai Mansion. In the past, the Xiaoguo army had the help of a naval army, but the guards were different. General, I did this to save the lives of my brothers. Could it be that the general really thinks that this fifteen-thousand-strong army is fake? ”
When Kong Yu and his subordinates heard this, they were immediately shocked, it turned out that the situation was far from as good as they expected, and it was very likely that the guards were about to be defeated.
Kong Yu's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, you can go first, the Xiaoguo army was defeated by our army and returned!" ”
Zhou Xu, who was standing beside Xu Pi, sneered: "Yes, but after you chased for more than 20 miles, you lost your troops, didn't you?" That's my Xiaoguo Army, the rest are not! In other words, you are actually fighting against the 3,000 Xiaoguo army, and 2,000 of them joined the halfway way back. What do you think? Do you still think that my ability to defeat the fruit army is not good, is it fake? ”
"Kong Yoo, now there are only two paths in front of you, either descend or die! To tell you the truth, the two counties of Dangying and Luping in Lingzhou Mansion have fallen. The entire Lingzhou Mansion belongs to my Xiaoguo army, surrender, and stop the army, I think, many of your families are here. If you don't fall, then there will be only death! In Lingzhou Mansion, you don't even have supplies, so think about it yourself, even if you don't think about yourself, think about it instead of the four thousand soldiers behind you. Zhou Xu said coldly.
"Crossbow bolts! Get ready! ”
"Boom, boom, boom......" four large bed crossbows, nearly a thousand Fuyuan crossbows set up the female wall. This kind of crossbow is a large crossbow, which can only be operated by the strongest warriors, and of course it can also be operated by two or three people together. Three hundred steps, a range of almost four hundred and fifty meters, is definitely a big killer. And this kind of crossbow bow is used by two people, and it is listed on the women's wall at once, just to let Kong Yu know that my Xiaoguo Army is not a fake as you say.
Even if this is only a single-shot crossbow, the range of these crossbows is far beyond the range of bows and arrows, and for Kong Yu and his generals who are an arrow outside the city, they are all within the range of crossbow arrows at this moment. Not to mention the four bed crossbows with a range of 1,000 steps.
Sure enough, the crossbow appeared, and Kong Yu and his subordinate soldiers all turned blue. Although the guards also have crossbows, they are on the front line, and there is no configuration in a region like theirs where the rear is stable. But that doesn't mean they don't know how powerful this stuff is.
Kong Yu and the others were silent, and there was really nothing to say about this situation. One moment he was still sitting in the city, he was the lord of a city, and the next moment, he became a lost dog, and this kind of earth-shaking feeling is not something that everyone can adapt to.
looked at the subordinates with panicked faces, then at the Xiaoguo soldiers on the city wall, and finally saw the fire unicorn soaring in flames, Kong Yu sadly threw down the sword in his hand.
At the end of July of the twenty-seventh year of Xuanwu, Lingzhou Mansion was obtained by the Xiaoguo Army.
It is adjacent to the county in the east, and the county government is in the east.
The General of the First Government of the Young Guards, the General of the Eighth Government of the Xiaoguo Army, the General of the Qingzhou Water Army, and the newly arrived civil officials of the Government Department gathered together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lord has come to order, Lingzhou Mansion has officially become the garrison of our army, and this point has been negotiated with the Governor of Qingzhou. Therefore, our army will implement a new policy in Lingzhou Mansion. In addition, on the eastern coast, several coastal salt drying plants will be opened. Cement and other supplies arrive when the next batch of sea vessels arrives. Most of them are the affairs of the Chief Secretary of Administration, but all the ministries and soldiers must cooperate. As for the matter of the salt drying plant, there is a special person to deal with it, and the civil and military officials here can cooperate. In addition, the soldiers of each county and county need to be reorganized, selected, and trained by the first government soldiers. ”
"Your task, all the navy departments, is to establish the most suitable and stable seaport outside the county to the east, and this will be done by the Chief Secretary in cooperation with you, and the seaport for trade and military will be established. After the treaty seaport, merchant ships from south to north were berthed, and the same tax was levied. The task of the navy is naturally to inspect the eastern waters of Qingzhou. ”
"The Eighth Prefecture, the lord has said that victory and defeat are a common thing for soldiers, and they are not annoyed, angry, or depressed, so that your department will immediately re-recruit new soldiers and restore their establishment and combat effectiveness. Jiaodong Mansion is left for you to do military training. ”
"Okay, everyone, these are all things related to our army, as for the rest, we will not participate, Su Fu Yin but if there is a need, I will serve myself." Saying that, Han Lin handed over the second half of the military order in his hand to Yin Suqin, the Lingzhou Governor.
"By the way, the station of the First Mansion will be moved to Muping City, which is the closest place to Donglai Mansion, and our First Mansion will focus all its energy on garrisoning in the north." Han Lin said with a smile.
"My eighth mansion will be stationed in the southeast on the southeast side, at the junction of Lingzhou Mansion and Jiaodong Mansion, while recruiting and training soldiers, and at the same time clearing the guards of Jiaodong Mansion." Wen Dingji said with a smile. Zhao Xun's instructions made him relax a lot. He even sent a separate letter to the Eighth Government, affirming their actions.
"Brother Wen! Wei Jun ......" said the beginning, and suddenly, Han Lin felt that he didn't know what to say.
Wen Ding said with a smile: "I understand, I won't mess with the killer, on the battlefield, victory and defeat are impermanent, and I also understand." Wen Ding understood that this Han Lin was afraid that he would retaliate against the guards in Jiaodong Mansion. In fact, Zhao Xun also explained in his letter that he couldn't slaughter indiscriminately, so naturally he wouldn't really come nonsense. In Dong Rai province, the besieging guards died more in comparison. In fact, they all knew that once the army retaliated and killed, it was very likely that it would not be able to control it and form a large-scale massacre. That's why I have this explanation.
