Chapter Eighty-Four: The Battle of Kanbei
Three years ago, Wei Zeng defeated Shui Qingliu and occupied Guanbei, and officials in Guanbei expressed their attachment, but most of them were forced to surrender because of Wei Zeng's military might. In the past three years, Wei Zeng supported the Wind Regiment, asked the Wind Regiment to help Sagali jointly defend Guanbei, and sent people to deal with various contradictions in Guanbei, so that the situation in Guanbei has been stable.
But ever since Sagaree chose to retreat to defend the three main cities, there has been a panic among Guanbei officials, fearing that after the defeat of Yanbei's army, her current position will be lost. Many people secretly communicated with the Ding brothers, wanting to find a way back.
Sagarli has noticed this phenomenon, but the situation in Guanbei is unstable, and rashly killing local guards will only push those who are still watching to the enemy, so Sajiali can only keep the names of some people in mind and send people to secretly watch out.
When Feng Zhuyuan heard Sajiali's words, he was also shocked in his heart, because these days, many people found Feng Zhuyuan, and their words revealed their intention to leave a way back. It's just that the current status of the Blaster Regiment is inseparable from Wei Zeng's support, and he won't be able to betray Wei Zeng. But for those who are shaken, there is no meaning of punishment for Feng Zhuyuan. Therefore, hearing Sagali's words, Feng Zhuyuan was afraid that Sagali had suspected that she had a blast wheal, so he said.
"We, the Breeze, have a great friendship with General Wei, and everything we have is given by General Wei, and our Breez Regiment will always support General Wei. Some people are shaken when they encounter some pressure, which is so hateful that they must be severely punished. ”
"Naturally, the Wind Commander can be trusted. But now we must not provoke them too much, or they will surely throw themselves into the arms of the enemy. All you need to do now is pay attention to them. The key is to avoid being divided and surrounded by the enemy. Once we are passive on the battlefield, these potential threats can be deadly. Sagaree replied.
"Miss Sa, don't worry, I'll leave it to Wucheng when I return to Wucheng. I will definitely contain Ding Zhuhuang's troops and prevent him from joining Ding Zhuqing. As long as we are not divided and surrounded by the enemy, as soon as General Wei's army arrives. Victory is ours naturally. Feng Zhuyuan swore and said.
"It's good that the head of the wind has this belief. Please remember that Wei Zeng attaches great importance to affection, and with your friendship with him, you don't have to have any worries in Guanbei, and the entire Yanbei army is your backing. Losing a good friend is a misfortune for anyone. Sagaree nodded in approval. Then he said.
After the discussion, Sagali personally arranged the defense of Landing Yecheng, and Feng Zhuyuan led 10,000 people to support Guiwu City.
"Valkyrie's insight and means are indeed superior. Just by knowing that someone is colluding with the enemy, and instead of attacking immediately, but standing still and beware of suspicious people, she knows that she is not simple. Her analysis is also very appropriate, as long as we do not lose the initiative, we can be at ease. Those who waver are naturally not a threat. If we fall into passivity, no matter how many people we kill, I am afraid that we will inevitably fail. I just don't know what she thinks of us. Feng Zhuyuan said.
"Miss Sa can be in charge of an army and defend one side, so she naturally has the ability. Otherwise, how could General Wei go down. But what did the last sentence of the head of the regiment mean? Could it be that Miss Sa is suspicious of us? Zhai Li asked.
"A few days ago, some officials came to us and planned to deliver a letter to the Ding brothers. I didn't agree, but I didn't object either. They thought I was thinking about it, and they've been probing me these days. Miss Sa is also a careful person. These things inevitably know some of them. Her last words to me inevitably meant to be admonished. However, Miss Sa can rest assured that Guiwucheng and these horses will be handed over to me for command. It also means that there is no doubt about us. Feng Zhuyuan said.
"I'm relieved, our Wind Regiment and General Wei share honor and disgrace, and we naturally won't betray General Wei. It seems that Miss Sa is also an understanding person. Zhai Lichai said with a sigh of relief.
"Having said that, for those who waver, we still don't touch it in the future. We also need to show our attitude. Otherwise, being in a place of suspicion, in case it really makes Miss Sa defensive. It's also very bad for our wheals. Feng Zhuyuan said with a sigh.
Feng Zhuyuan led the army to support Guiwucheng, and attacked Ding Zhuhuang, who had reached Guiwucheng, together with the original defenders of Guiwucheng.
In order to support Yanbei, Sagali mobilized 20,000 horses to go south, but before she reached the Yushan Mountain Road, she encountered Ding Zhuhuang's troops. A confrontation. The 20,000 men retreated to Guiwucheng. Now, with the original troops of Guiwucheng and the troops supported by Hefeng Zhuyuan, there are more than 30,000 people. Sagali thought that with 30,000 people, there would be no problem in delaying Ding Zhuhuang's troops.
Ding Zhuhuang's troops were composed of the Tiger and Leopard Army of the Dejia Guard, the Qing Gang, and the Tang Sect. These people are all the elites of Yaodong, although they suffered a lot of losses after the failure of the attack on Shifeng City, they still have extremely strong combat effectiveness when fighting in the field.
After Ding Zhuhuang received the news of the arrival of Feng Zhuyuan's troops, he moved his troops northward for twenty miles, blocking the road that Feng Zhuyuan had to pass.
Feng Zhuyuan came to the vicinity of Guiwu City, and was greeted by a troop wearing a cyan uniform, obviously a member of the Green Gang.
Seeing that the enemy was equal in number to himself, Feng Zhuyuan gave the order to attack, intending to break through the enemy's block in front of him and join the defenders of Guiwu City.
Under the command of Wu Qingfan, the Green Gang formed a defensive formation to block the wind and advance far away. The two armies were at a stalemate for a while. It's just that the troops of the Wind Regiment are also full of vigor, and they will fight the Green Gang people and horses back and forth, if nothing else, it will not be a problem to break through the interception of the Green Gang and join the defenders of Guiwu City.
Dan Ding Zhuhuang's troops are not limited to these people, it can be seen that the people of the Qing Gang to block the reinforcements that are chasing away from the wind are just his first chess.
The defenders of Guiwucheng received the news of Feng Qiyuan's support, and immediately sent people to respond. Ten miles out of the city, these men did not encounter any resistance. Seeing the northern horizon, flags were waving, and drums were heard from afar, and the fierceness of the battle could also be seen.
Just when the troops who had rushed from Guiwu City were about to go to meet the wind and attack the rear of the Qinggang men, traces of the enemy appeared on both sides.
Ding Zhuhuang and Zheng Duxing led their men and horses to outflank and rear the defenders of Wucheng, and the posture was to annihilate all these people.
Feng Qiyuan saw the banner of friendly troops in the south, and immediately ordered his troops to step up the attack, to completely defeat the men and horses of the Qing Gang in front of him. But the people of the Green Gang did not panic at all. Under the command of Wu Qingfan, it is like an iron wall, making it difficult for the wind to move far away.
The troops who came out to meet in Wucheng originally planned to join up with the reinforcements who were chasing from afar, and then defeat the enemy in front of them with superior forces. Now in an enemy ambush, these people appear to be in a panic. The leading generals were afraid that they would lose their return to Wucheng. Gave up answering the wind and drove away, and hurriedly retreated in the direction of Guiwucheng.
Ding Zhuhuang ordered all the men and horses to chase and kill the defenders of Guiwucheng, while surrounding the main forces against the troops who were far away.
Feng Zhuyuan saw the defenders of Guiwucheng retreating, and the enemy's main force pressed over, knowing that if he continued to stay here, he would inevitably fail, so he was forced to order the army to retreat.
"They can't run, and now the eldest brother's people should also block their back road, and it's just a matter of killing them." Ding Zhuhuang looked at the retreating wind and said with a smile.
"Deacon Ding is scheming. First let the people of the Green Gang block them, lure out the defenders of Guiwucheng, and then besiege the defenders of Guiwucheng, so that they are forced to retreat. Now these people have no answer, as long as the Ding Jiemen cuts off their back road, they are fat on the board, and we will slaughter them. Zheng Duxing also smiled.
"But I'm not going to just swallow this piece of fat and use it as bait. Perhaps larger prey can be obtained. Ding Zhuhuang said.
"What Deacon Ding means is that he wants to surround these 10,000 people. Lure Sagart to come to your aid, and then wipe out Sagart's main force? Zheng Duxing rolled his eyes back.
"Yes, we can't afford to drag on the Kanbei battlefield for too long. In case Wei Zeng's main force rushes over, we will have to retreat. Destroying the 10,000 people in front of you can't reverse the defeat, but if you use these 10,000 people as bait, you can lure Sajiali out. We have a chance to win. As long as Sajiali's main force is wiped out, Lu Ye City and Hebing City will be ours. As long as we take the two big cities into our hands, even if Wei Zeng's main force comes, we can fight. Ding Zhuhuang said.
"Deacon Ding is very scheming. It was really a good move for us to gain an advantage. However, Sagart's main force was trained by the remnants of the Goddess Sect, and its combat effectiveness was not weak. If you want to annihilate Sagart's main force, I'm afraid it won't be an easy thing. Zheng Duxing said.
"The eldest brother has already mobilized the barbarian barracks and the lock troops of the Luofeng Society, and we will also lead the army north, with all the elites of our Yaodong, we will definitely be able to defeat Sajiali's main force. Without the Valkyrie, the Goddess Cult will never have a chance to see the light of day again. Ding Zhuhuang said in a deep voice, and there was a hint of sternness in his eyes.
For the first time, Zheng Duxing felt a kind of coercion from this thin man, a sense of danger when he encountered a strong enemy.
"What do you think? But a person who relies on his brother's power and occupies a high position is just a little clever. He doesn't know any martial arts, and it's not easy for me to kill him! Zheng Duxing said secretly in his heart.
"What is Zheng Yongyong thinking? You don't seem to be happy. Ding Zhuhuang asked when he saw that Zheng Duxing's expression was different.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm thinking about what these people should do in Wucheng? If they also go north to help, won't our plan to defeat Sagaree be successful? Zheng Duxing said pretending to be worried, covering up the gaffe just now.
"I had planned for that. Now the people who have returned to Wucheng have long been frightened birds, as long as we leave a small number of troops and make a siege posture, they will definitely not dare to rush into the army. Ding Zhuhuang replied.
"It's naturally best to be able to beat Sagaree and our rear will be a little more secure. All these years, I have to guard against people who are loyal to the goddess sect, and it is really a headache. Zheng Duxing said.
"As long as we can succeed this time, there won't be any more troubles in the future." After Ding Zhuhuang finished speaking, he led the army to continue to pursue Feng Zhuyuan.
Sa Jiali, who was in Lu Ye City, was very surprised to hear the news that Feng Zhuyuan was surrounded by the Ding family brothers. According to her ideas, even if the troops who are far away cannot defeat the enemy, there is no problem in entering Guiwu City. Now that Feng is far away to support Wucheng, he was defeated and retreated, and he was cut off by Ding Zhuqing, which was really beyond Sagali's expectations.
The wind group and Wei Zeng have a lot of friendship, and in recent years, they have become a big help for Wei Zeng to rule Guanbei. If he died, it would be a huge blow to Wei Zeng's rule in Guanbei, so Sagaree chose to lead the main army to the rescue.
"This Feng Zhuyuan usually seems to be very shrewd, why did he fall for the enemy's tricks this time. As long as he is desperate to kill Guiwu City, can't he really enter Guiwu City? Now surrounded by enemies, it is difficult to rescue him, but it is a little difficult, but he can't help but save him. Let's take a step and see a step. Wei Zeng's main force will arrive soon, as long as he can survive this while, everything will be fine. Sagaree complained in her heart, but still chose to send troops to rescue Feng Zhiyuan.
Feng Zhuyuan is now in a desperate situation, and when he returned to Wucheng for support, he chose to retreat because he was hindered. Unexpectedly, this retreat, but there is no way out. Ding Zhuhuang's troops kept chasing him, and Ding Zhuqing's men also took the opportunity to cut off his back road. Yaodong's army will unite everywhere, and his 10,000 people have no possibility of breaking through at all.
However, the Yaodong army that surrounded him never launched a general attack, which made him feel a little lucky, and he only hoped that Sajiali's reinforcements would arrive soon.
Sagart's troops did not delay at all, and soon came to the place where Feng Zhuyuan was surrounded. The first enemy Sajiali encountered was Sun Hengkong of the Luofeng Society.
"Your subordinates are defeated, and you dare to stop me? I'm not going to give you a chance to escape this time. Sagaree said when she saw Sun Hengkong.
"Sagart, you shouldn't have come, you came this time, but there is no way to leave." Sun Hengkong said.
"It's up to you, and the miscellaneous pieces of your Green Gang, I don't care about it yet. My troops are not something a coward like you can stop. If I can come, I can go. Sagaree said proudly.
"I don't talk nonsense with people who are dying. Just take advantage of your life and be proud for a while. Sun Hengkong was ashamed in his heart, and after speaking, he ordered the troops of the Luofeng Society to attack.
Sagart's main force is trained by the elders of the Goddess Sect, and they are also controlled by the elders of the Goddess Sect, and they all carry out Sagart's orders to the letter.
As soon as Sagari gave the order, all the people went to kill the people of the Luofeng Society, and the people of the Luofeng Society could not stop them.
Feng Zhuyuan heard the sound of fighting in the north, and his spirits were greatly lifted, and he led his men to try to break through. (To be continued.) )
