Chapter 627
In late August, since the Shanyang Army and the Yanzhou Prefecture Army launched an attack on the Wuwei Army at the same time, the Shanyang Army successfully attacked Fengwei County after a long unsuccessful attack on Changli, and Shun Lì captured Fengwei County, a logistics base located behind the enemy's flank.
When Guan Lin broke through the defense line of the Wuwei Army, the defeat of the Wuwei Army had been revealed, with the onslaught of the whole army of the Shanyang Army and the outflanking of the two wings, the military formation of the Wuwei Army was dispersed at once, and finally, except for Li Jin, the garrison captain of Fengwei County, fled from the north gate with more than 100 people in a hurry, the rest were all destroyed.
The sun hangs high in the sky, bringing light to the earth. And around the south gate, there is indeed blood and energy, and under the light of the sun, it glows crimson.
While taking over the city defense and various treasury in the city to prevent it from being burned by the enemy and looted by the rebels, the soldiers of the Sanyang Army began to clean up the battlefield, removing the armor of the soldiers who died in the battle and transporting the corpses to the side. The corpses of the enemy soldiers, after the waiting soldiers sparked, were buried on the spot. And his own soldiers will also return to their hometown in the future after the spark.
Although the Shanyang army also suffered a lot of losses, it finally occupied the county seat of Fengwei. This battle also taught the Shanyang soldiers a lesson, letting them know that the combat power of the Wuwei Army, which is also known as the Guard, if it is not a surprise attack, I don't know how difficult it will be to take this city.
"Lao Guan, how are the injuries? When you go to the battlefield, you don't know what you are, and you don't pay attention at all. Seeing that his body was wrapped in white cloth in many places, Lu Yu couldn't help but say.
Guan Lin shook his intact left hand and said, "It's okay, it's all minor injuries, have the results been counted?" ”
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "Come out, our army has lost more than 1,100 people, and there are 1,000 wounded, and the Wuwei army has basically been wiped out." If we hadn't suddenly entered from the south gate, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to take this city! The center of gravity of the defense of this Fengwei City is in the north, and the trebuchets and crossbow machines are all defended in the north. But it is also good to let the brothers below see the strength of the Armed Guards, so that their tails will not be lifted to the sky. ”
Guan Lin frowned and said, "In this way, aren't there only half of our soldiers in good condition?" That's a big loss, isn't it? By the way, has the battle report been reported? ”
Lu Yu said: "The report is up, the loss of the soldiers is indeed not small, but our harvest in the city is not small. 20,000 quintals of grain and grass are enough for 20,000 troops for two months. 5,000 bows and arrows, 100,000 arrows, 5,000 long knives, 10,000 spears, 1,000 rhubarb crossbows, 20,000 lost crossbows, 3,000 giant shields, and 10,000 leather shields. In addition, there are 150,000 silver coins, which should be the salary of the military guards at the front. Most of the weapons in this are new, and they should have been transported from Yangzhou North in the past few months. Murong Cheng is really rich, and he has a lot of weapons. ”
"What is the reaction of the people in the city?"
"There is nothing welcome or rejection for us, but later we will exempt the city from all kinds of miscellaneous taxes. By the way, we're going to have to recruit troops here. Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
"Conscription? Did the Shogun allow it? Guan Lin was taken aback. Without the above's private conscription, it would definitely be a dead end. Guan Lin and Lu Yu have a good relationship, and he doesn't want Lu Yu to make mistakes in this regard.
Lu Yu smiled: "Of course, you think I'm nonsense? Even if it's me Hu Lai, do you think the officers below here will follow us Hu Lai? I'm afraid that if we have a little other thoughts, we will be killed by the soldiers below. ”
Guan Lin nodded and said, "It's good that you don't have other ideas, I thought you would have other ideas when you saw these armor and belongings." This is Xu Jie's territory, we are tax-free and conscripted here, isn't it ......"
Lu Yu sneered: "Xu Jie's territory? Now that we have taken it back, why talk about conscription, even if he does something else, what can he Xu Jie? The general said that in the future, there will be changes in the military system, with 5,000 people in one capital and 1,000 people in one battalion. And our current battalion will be expanded into a capital. ”
Guan Lin scratched his head and suddenly exclaimed, "This ...... Isn't this the same as the Xiaoguo Army? By the way, Lao Lu, my Shanyang Army is now under its jurisdiction, and the government affairs implemented are the same as those of the Xiaoguo Army, and the military establishment is also the same as that of the Xiaoguo Army. In addition, there are so many officials who have experience in governance, you say......"
Lu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'm also a little skeptical, I'm even wondering if our Shanyang Army is a part of the Xiaoguo Army!" In addition to what you said, a lot of the money and grain needed for the development of our Shanyang military territory were bought and sold by merchants through guò, and most of them were from the north. You say, if we don't have anything to do with the Xiaoguo Army, the Xiaoguo Army will sell us grain and grass for free? The most important thing is the origin of the general, I have found more and more that the general is very similar to King Zhao, the lord of the Xiaoguo Army! ”
"Ah...... No way! What you said is outrageous! Guan Lin exclaimed. No matter how much he doubted, he didn't have such an idea as Lu Yu.
Lu Yu said in a condensed voice: "Who is Lord Feng, such a famous and upright person, all of them are willing to serve the general, do you think the general is an ordinary person?" Also, many of the officers in the current military formation are not from our Shanyang Mansion Army, but come to guard the general. In addition, the general has explained this time that after we recruit soldiers, all the families of the soldiers will move west to Jizhou. What does that mean, you say? It doesn't matter, the general will let us send the families of the soldiers to Jizhou? It doesn't matter, the Xiaoguo Army will accept the families of our soldiers? Lao Guan, now the general has already told us officers in the ministries, and his identity is for me to begin to accept. ”
"Really? This is too outrageous, dignified King Zhao, is actually here? Guan Lin smashed this mouth and said in disbelief.
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "Lao Guan, this is also my guess, as for whether it is accurate or not, I can't guarantee it." So young, and with a myriad of potential forces to help, like this morning, a whole bunch of caravans echo each other in the exception. This all shows that the general is extraordinary. However, you have to remember. You know this, and you must not tell anyone else. If something goes wrong, don't blame the dude for not being able to help you then. ”
Guan Lin nodded hurriedly and said, "Old Lu, I understand the importance of this. I'll keep this in my heart. By the way, what do we do next? Going north or not? ”
Lu Yu said: "Stabilize here, conscription, emergency training." Although we are coming in from the south, who can guarantee that the situation here will not be discovered by the armed guards from the south. What we have to do now is to hold this place and wait for the general to come from the north. The city here is broken, and the soldiers who fled will definitely bring the news to Changli and Fan County, and the defenders of those two cities will definitely be in turmoil and will not last long. ”
"That's okay, I'll leave the matter of recruiting and training soldiers to me, as for the affairs of this place, I can't do it, you come." Guan Lin shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Lu Yu soon issued a new decree to stabilize the management of the city. Hearing about the tax reduction, these people finally changed their previous attitude and began to be enthusiastic about the Shanyang Army. Of course, if the city falls to the Wuwei Army and does evil, it will naturally face the purging of the Shanyang Army.
The conscription work is also very fast, in addition to the settling-in allowance of the ten silver coins, the people here have indeed been miserable by the war, and in the back and forth exploitation of Xu Jie's and Wu Weijun, the people here are also poor. If they can join the army, they can also get settling-in allowance and military salary, and they are naturally willing to join. In just one day, 3,000 soldiers were recruited. With the addition of the original, Fengwei County now has an army of 6,000. Of course, half of them are still recruits.
Looking at the jubilant people, Lu Yu shook his head secretly, now it is a tax reduction, and it has been greatly reduced. However, this is the jurisdiction of Xu Jie. When the time comes, Xu Jie's officials will take over, will you still be able to reduce or reduce taxes? With the current situation of the Yanzhou government army, it is already good if it does not increase.
Of course, Lu Yu naturally won't say these questions. At that time, the Shanyang Army will reduce taxes, but Xu Jie's taxes will increase sharply, and when the time comes, if nothing else, even the people here will not be satisfied. In the end, it was naturally Xu Jie, if the two armies became enemies in the future, the people of Fengwei County would support the Shanyang Army, not the Yanzhou Army.
Changli City.
"What do you say? Fengwei County lost? How did you lose it? How could it be lost? Wu Benlang asked Sun Qilian angrily.
"General Huiyu, it was taken by the Shanyang Army! Somehow, the Sanyang army would raid and attack the city from the south, while the defense of Fengwei County was focused on the north. Because in the rear, there were not many defenders in the city, and as a result, the city was captured by the Shanyang army! Li Jin explained in a trembling voice.
"Stupid pig! Have you burned the grain and grass army in your city? ”
Li Jin bowed his head and said, "Never! ”
Sun Qilian's eyes darkened, and he scolded angrily: "Damn, all the things prepared for our army fell into the hands of the Shanyang army. Your brother is a stupid pig, even if he is defeated, he knows how to burn those things! Go, go to the front and be a small soldier. If it weren't for the fact that the loss of the city wasn't your mistake, General Ben would have beheaded you today. ”
"Quartermaster, how many days will we have more food and grass?" Sun Qi turned his head and asked.
The quartermaster said urgently: "Return to the general, you can still supply the army for five days!" However, the Shanyang army that became attacked the city fiercely, and the armor and equipment of the large army were damaged, and the officers and men of our army continued to replenish. ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Woohoo......"
Suddenly, the sound of war drums and the muffled sound of trumpets resounded through the sky, startling everyone in the city.
"Report! Become the Sanyang Army, gather a large army, and attack the city again! ”
"Could it be that they also received the news that Fengwei County was broken? Probably not so fast! Sun Qi was shocked. Originally, there were other arrangements, but at this time, he could only face it.
Becoming a wilderness, the Shanyang army swept like a tide, a vigorous banner wind hunting and hunting, Sensen iron armor gathered into a sea of steel, flashing a terrifying coldness, a spear pierced the sky, forming a forest of guns.
"Even if you know what, here, your Shanyang Army has already conquered your subordinates!"
In the formation of the Shanyang army, Zhao Xun coldly waved the spear in his hand and said coldly: "Give them a message." ”
Immediately afterwards, under the incomprehensible gaze of the defenders of the city, the knight of the Yishanyang Army rode forward, holding a large and small object in his hand, and stopped outside the land of becoming a stone's throw.
"Listen to the Wuwei army in the city, Fengwei County in the rear has been taken by our Shanyang army, and the logistics grain and grass have become the things of our Shanyang army. Now, you are already under the attack of our Shanyang Army from two sides, and it is difficult to survive. However, my general does not want to kill more, as long as you surrender, you will not die! Otherwise, the day the city is broken will be the time when you and your families will be together. A loud voice rang through the city.
Suddenly, the guards on the city wall rioted, and they all began to talk about it.
"I'm stationed in place, the Shanyang Army is nonsense, do you believe this? They haven't even taken my Changli County, how can they take Fengwei County behind us. Sun Qilian's heart suddenly suddenly, and the soldiers began to discuss, and many soldiers had panicked faces, and couldn't help but shout urgently.
Alas...... After all, half of them are newly recruited soldiers, and if all of them are veterans of the Armed Guards, this will not be the case. Sun Qilian looked at these soldiers with different faces, and couldn't help but sigh. Because Ding Qiang, the general of the Wuwei Army, and 15,000 soldiers died in Yanzhou Mansion, in order to resist the attack of the Yanzhou Mansion Army and the Xuzhou Army, the Wuwei Army in the south immediately recruited and reorganized after receiving the support of Yuzhou. Although the number of people has increased, the combat power of them has decreased. Now is an example, when I heard that the back road was cut off and the food and grass were cut off, this was a newly recruited soldier, and I was a little panicked.
"Presumably, the generals are saying that what I said is false, didn't you see the left-behind captain of Fengwei County rushing into the city from the south today? Fengwei County is not lost, he dares to come here? The voice of being sounded again.
"Listen to the Shanyang Army that became, if you want to fight, you will fight! Our armed guards are by no means muddy. Using this subplot to confuse the hearts of our army is not the real ability of politics. At Sun Qilian's signal, the city's armed guards also began to fight back.
"Don't lose that every soldier of the Wuwei is alone, and many of them are recruits in the land of Yanzhou, think about your parents, wives and children, do you want to die in battle once, and they will never be killed, and become the victims of the Wuwei Army?" The voice under the city that made Sun Qilian angry came again.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot him for me! Sun Qi saw that the faces of the soldiers around him were different, and he immediately roared angrily.
The arrows flew sideways, but the shouting soldiers of the Shanyang army outside the city were already an arrow away, and by the time the city's crossbow arrows were ready to be powerful, the people under the city had already escaped.
"Annoyed and angry? You wait, wait for our army to attack from the north and south. The day the city is broken, it is the time to wait for the head of the lord. After retreating, the knight of the Shanyang Army shouted again from afar.
"Nima!" Seeing the other party like this, Sun Qi didn't even know what to say!
"Alright, withdraw the troops and return to the camp! Come to think of it, this time is enough for them to stand it. Zhao Xun said with a smile. Zhao Xun's goal this time has been achieved, and now is not the time to attack the city. After all, they haven't been able to take the city for several days.
