Chapter 59 Winning in Danger
"The enemy is nothing more than that, but it will be defeated like this as soon as it fights, and I don't think it will take much time to capture Guanbei." Huang Yufei returned victoriously and said with a smile.
"I always felt a little weird. The enemy did not defend the terrain such as the Yushan Mountain Pass, but he engaged us on the plain. Isn't the enemy stupid? However, a general died, and he kept retreating. Is the enemy really so cowardly? Yu Chaogui said.
"The people of the Demon Sect are all gangsters who do all kinds of evil, and the high-ranking people in the sect are even more insidious and ruthless. Words like cowardice and stupidity can't be used on their heads. The war was going so well, and I felt that something was wrong. Wei Zeng said.
"The Predators are no match for us, let alone a cult. If we really can't win a few rounds against them, won't the prestige of our Yanbei Righteous Army be gone? Huang Yufei said.
"In order to avoid the enemy's trick to lure the enemy deeper, we need to investigate more, and it is not good to fall into the enemy's ambush. Advance a few more miles, and the siege of Guiwucheng can be solved, so let's fight with the people of the Storm Regiment first. Although Wei Zeng hesitated, he still decided to enter Guiwu City first before talking about anything else.
At this moment, a soldier ran in a panic from the rear of the military formation and said: "The big thing is not good, many enemies have appeared in the Yushan Mountain Road, and now the rear road led by Miss Sa is blocked in the mountain road. ”
"What, we still have enemies in the rear?" Wei Zeng and the generals were very surprised.
At this moment, news came from the front that the Guanbei army had regrouped and was no longer retreating. Instead, it pressed on Wei Zeng's Chinese army.
"General Wei, what should we do?" I heard that there were enemies killed before and after, and Yu Chaogui was a little nervous
"I'll lead troops to support Miss Sa, and we must not let the enemy cut us off. Someone will be sent to inform the Blaster. But they sent troops to meet us. Wei Zeng decisively said.
Wang Qinwei, who was not far away, saw Wei Zeng leading his army towards Yushan Mountain Road, and said with a smile: "Now that the enemy army has been cut off, as long as we concentrate our forces to eliminate Wei Zeng's vanguard troops, the victory of this war will be ours." You have to hit seven inches to fight snakes, and you have to learn a little bit later. ”
The 70,000 troops of Yanbei passed through the narrow Yushan Mountain Road, which could not be fully expanded. Therefore, the team formed a long snake, with Wei Zengqin leading 40,000 people in front and Sagali leading 30,000 people behind.
After getting out of the Yushan Mountain Road. Wei Zeng encountered the army led by Wang Qinwei. After Huang Yufei killed the enemy general, the Yanbei Righteous Army pursued all the way for more than ten miles, but he didn't want to have an enemy army ambushed near the Yushan Mountain Road, when Wei Zeng was chasing Wang Qinwei. Occupy the narrow terrain of Yushan Mountain. Divide the Yanbei army in two.
Wang Qinwei, who had been retreating, after getting the news, reorganized his team, cooperated with the people who blocked the Yushan Mountain Road, and flanked Wei Zeng's Chinese army. The northern army of Yanbei could not respond for a while, and the situation was very critical.
After receiving the news of the confrontation between Wei Zeng and the Guanbei Army, Sajiali accelerated her steps to support Wei Zeng. The enemy who appeared halfway forward came prepared, which caught Sagari by surprise. The enemy occupies a favorable position to intercept Sagart's rear army. Sagari also had difficulty breaking through the enemy's blockade for a while.
Sajiali understood that the Yushan Mountain Road was the retreat of the Yanbei army. If the retreat route is blocked and the logistics supply is not in place, the front army led by Wei Zeng will encounter great danger. But how to break through the enemy's blockade is indeed a big problem.
"Wei Zeng's 40,000 men originally wanted to fight the enemy, but they didn't want the enemy to play such a trick and let us ignore each other. Now Wei Zeng's Chinese army is very dangerous, if he is defeated, we are finished. The plan now is to break through the enemy's blockade as soon as possible. Do you have any good ideas? Sagaree asked.
"The enemy is coming prepared, and he has occupied favorable terrain, and if he attacks us, the losses will be too great. The current plan is to let General Wei break through in the direction of Guiwucheng, as long as he enters Guiwucheng, he can get rid of the current dangerous situation. After the enemy's plan fails, it will naturally not be consumed here and us for a long time. When the time comes, the obstacles ahead will naturally disappear. Jiang Luqing said.
"But the enemy didn't give Wei Zeng a chance to break through to Guiwu City. I just received news that the enemy sent 10,000 people to besiege the city of Wucheng. He also sent 80,000 men to block Wei Zeng's front, and if we could join Wei Zeng, these enemies would naturally be no problem. But now that Wei Zeng is facing twice as many enemies, what can he do? Wei Zeng can't move forward, and if he retreats, he will be pursued, which is really no way. Sagaree said.
"The enemy is indeed very insidious, and it seems that only by finding a way to bring the two armies in front and behind me together can we break the enemy's conspiracy." Jiang Luqing was also embarrassed about how to break the enemy's blockade, and after thinking about it carefully, he said to Sa Jiali: "Miss Sa's current plan can only deceive them, and maybe there will be a chance to break the current crisis." ”
"How? The enemy can be very insidious, and he will not be easily fooled. Sagaree said with a frown.
"The enemy's 100,000 troops have been assembled near Guiwu City, and now the rear should be very empty, and what they are most afraid of at this time is a sneak attack on the rear. The matter of our alliance with Yaodong is already well known, Yaodong and Guanbei are only separated by a Heishui River, and the enemy must be afraid of the Yaodong army. The cavalry team of the ancient commander has a very strong ability to run long distances, and if it reaches the rear of the enemy, it is also a problem for the enemy. Jiang Luqing said.
"But we didn't inform Yaodong when we sent troops this time, and Gu Chayi's horse team also went south to Xu Huai, but they couldn't quench their thirst from far away. When they come, I'm afraid there will be no need to rescue Wei Zeng. Sagaree shook her head and said.
"Therefore, if you want to deceive them, as long as you make them believe that Yaodong's army and the horse team of the Gu commander will come at any time, they will definitely defend the rear. When they move their troops, we seize the opportunity and it will be easier to break through their blocks. Jiang Luqing said.
"Let the enemy be confused, we do have more chances, what to do, you say in detail." Sa Jiali thought it was feasible, so she wanted Jiang Luqing to explain it in detail.
"Send some people behind enemy lines to spread the news, saying that the ancient commander went south to Xu Huai under the guise that he had actually gone around to the north of Yushan and was preparing to attack Lu Yecheng; Spread some more news to say. Yaodong's men and horses have been assembled, and they will cross the Heishui River in a few days. Jiang Luqing said.
"But will the enemy believe it? If the enemy didn't believe it and still concentrated his forces to attack Wei Zeng, wouldn't it be completely useless? Sagaree wondered.
"Don't believe the enemy. All they need is to be suspicious. As long as they are suspicious, they will definitely strengthen Lu Ye City's defenses. As long as we have less pressure here, it will be easier to break through the enemy's division. In order to make the enemy suspicious, in addition to spreading rumors, it is also necessary to lay out suspicious soldiers. Jiang Luqing said.
"I think it's doable. Just do what you say. I'll take someone to storm a few more times. Let's see if we can break through the enemy's division as soon as possible. Sagaree agreed.
After Jiang Luqing got Sajiali's permission, he ordered people to go to the vicinity of Lu Yecheng to walk around the rumors and let these people create some chaos along the way. It creates the illusion that someone is making a detour to attack Lu Ye City.
When Wei Zeng knew that he had fallen for the tricks of the demon sect, he informed the people who returned to Wucheng to come to respond. But Guiwucheng was surrounded by the Guanbei army for almost half a year, although it was okay to defend the city, but as soon as he left the city, he was beaten back by the Guanbei army. The guards of Guiwu City are also afraid that the city will be lost. After a few failures. And he did not send any more troops.
Wei Zeng had no choice but to retreat to the vicinity of the Yushan Mountain Road, and cooperated with Sajiali's rear army to try to open up the Yushan Mountain Road. However, the 80,000-strong army led by Wang Qinwei continued to attack Wei Zeng's Chinese army, making it difficult for Wei Zeng to concentrate his forces to attack the Yushan Mountain Road.
The back road was cut off, and the two armies in the front and rear did not echo each other, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the Yanbei army. Wei Zeng was worried that this would continue. Soon it will be hated for this.
Just when Wei Zeng was worried about his future, Sagargle's secret letter was delivered to Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng asked the messenger who had come over the mountains to go down to rest. Then he said to the generals.
"Jiang Luqing has already sent people to disrupt the enemy's rear. As soon as the enemy relaxes the encirclement here, our chance will come. Miss Sa agreed to launch a strong attack in five days, and we must cooperate with it. As long as we can break through the small pass ahead, we can turn the corner from danger. Is there any movement of the enemy forces in the direction of Wucheng? Wei Zeng asked.
"General Qiyu, the enemy in the direction of Wucheng has only harassed and not attacked in a big way in the past few days. However, according to the Malay report, the enemy camp has been busy for the past few days, and it seems that the enemy will soon make a big move. Yu Chaogui replied.
"I am most afraid that when we attack the Yushan Mountain Road, the enemy will sneak attack. Several of our attacks failed as a result. In order to break the enemy's blockade, it is necessary to find ways to hold back the enemy forces in the direction of Guiwucheng. Yu Chaogui, I have a task for you, I will give you 3,000 men, and you are worthy of launching an attack with the people of the Blast. As long as you can drag the enemy in the direction of Wucheng for a while. If you can come back afterwards, you can come back, if you can't come back, you can retreat to Wucheng. Wei Zeng commanded.
On the way south for Shui Qingliu, some news reached his ears, whether it was the detour of the Gucha horse team to attack Guiwucheng, or the arrival of the Yaodong army, which made Shui Qingliu a little worried. But the water is not sure if these are true.
A few days ago, some cavalry suspected to be from the Gucha First Horse Brigade appeared on the northern border of Guanbei, and I heard that there were clashes with several local villages because of the forced requisition of grain by these troops. Out of prudence, Shui Qingliu ordered an army to return to defend Luye City.
Wang Qinwei did not attack Wei Zeng for a few days, and the camp seemed to be busy, just to transfer this force back to Lu Ye City.
On the eve of Wei Zeng and Sajiali agreeing to attack together, Yu Chaogui led an army of 3,000 people to break through in the direction of Guiwucheng.
This move caused a certain amount of confusion to the Guanbei army. This attack was relatively sudden, and there was a response from the direction of Guiwucheng, Wang Qinwei did not come back to his senses for a while, and when Wang Qinwei organized a good man to prepare for the siege, Yu Chaogui had already entered Guiwucheng.
At the same time, Sajiali and Wei Zeng jointly launched an attack on the enemy forces on the Yushan Mountain Road, trying to break the enemy blockade.
The thousands of demon cultists on the Yushan Mountain Road, relying on the terrain to hold on, and with the echo of the army led by the prince's guards, they have not been conquered for several days. But for this attack, the demon cultists on the mountain path had already sensed that something was wrong. Not only did Sa Jiali and Wei Zeng attack from both sides, but even the army of Wang Qinwei did not come to support.
The demon cultists on the mountain path were under tremendous offensive pressure, after all, there were only a few thousand people, and they still couldn't hold out for long in the face of a flanking attack by enemies several times their size.
When Wang Qinwei led the reinforcements to arrive, the Yushan Mountain Road had been opened by the Yanbei Righteous Army. The two armies before and after the Yanbei Righteous Army converged, and it was no longer something that Wang Qinwei could destroy.
"Now that the enemy has converged, it will be very disadvantageous for us to fight them now. Retreat first, and wait for the Demon Lord to arrive before making plans. "The royal guard gave the order to retreat.
"Then Guiwucheng, do we still want to surround it?" An adjutant general asked.
"There is no need to encircle anymore. The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and if we continue to surround them, we will be passive. Although it is a pity to give up the city for half a year, it can only be done for the sake of the overall situation. Wang Qinwei sighed and said.
The Guanbei army, led by Wang Qinwei, left the vicinity of Guiwu City and retreated north. Guiwucheng, which had been besieged for half a year, saw the enemy retreat and cheered in the city. After Wei Zeng's army got rid of the danger, it marched in the direction of Guiwucheng.
Yu Chaogui, the guards of Guiwu City, and the high-ranking officials of the Wind Regiment all went out of the city to welcome Wei Zeng's arrival. Returned to the guards of Wucheng, handed over the seal of the city lord to Wei Zeng in public, and expressed his willingness to submit to Wei Zeng. Returned to Wucheng and newly attached, Wei Zeng of course could not appoint anyone else as the city lord, saying that everyone in Guiwucheng would maintain their original status, and the city lord seal was returned to the guards of Wucheng.
It was only because of the friendship between the Wind Troupe and Wei Zeng that all the power in Wucheng was transferred to the Blaster Regiment. For many years, the Breez had sought official recognition, and now, with Wei Zeng's support, they had completely changed their status. In the past, those dignitaries who ignored them also came to visit.
The world is hot and cold, and Feng Zhuyuan has been "exercising" in Beijing for a few years, so he naturally understands these. But being complimented and regarded as a savior still makes Feng Zhuyuan very useful.
It can be said that the interests of the Blaster have been firmly combined with Wei Zeng, which also makes the Blaster recognize Wei Zeng's rule very much, and the newly attached Guiwu City is also very stable.
But Wei Zeng's purpose was not only to occupy Guiwu City, but also to march with an army of seventy or eighty thousand Yanbei to completely eliminate the demon sect and bring the entire Guanbei into his own hands.
The conquest of Guanbei was only the beginning, and all the obstacles that blocked Wei Zeng's road to Guanxi were all things he wanted to remove.
