Chapter 641: Surround Xiaoguo
On the sixth day of August, in the afternoon, Yongyang Station, more than 20 miles east of Yicheng, Zhen Baoche's Tiger Ben Army and Lu Xingxing's Hussar Army, and the first army of Xiaoguo led by Fan Wen of Zhe Chonglang met head-on, the two sides were short of arms, seven thousand alliance elites and two thousand Xiaoguo elites confronted each other, killing earth-shattering, and arrogant, confident Xiaoguo suffered the loss of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and was beaten by the alliance army to turn his head over, almost no power to fight back, fortunately, Xiaoguo soldiers have rich combat experience, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they immediately switched from attack to defense, desperately resisting, Wait for the support of the main forces in the rear.
When the Yin World Master heard the news, he immediately became vigilant. Fan Wen belongs to the Shaozhuang faction among the commanders of Xiaoguo, and he dares to rush and fight, so he should not lie about the military situation.
Fan Wen is the son of Fan Zigai, who stayed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and stayed in the eastern capital, because his father was in the center and rose step by step, he was a typical second generation of officials, neither was born in the army, nor rose with military merits, and was valued by the Holy Lord purely because of his father's relationship. It can be seen that the Holy Lord still has principles and bottom lines in employing people. Because of this, when Fan Wen arrived on the battlefield, he would rather die standing than live on his knees, and he had to defend the authority of the Holy Lord and his father with his life and blood.
Yin Shishi is worried that he will be surrounded by ambush, although he despises the rebels and is full of confidence in Xiaoguo's strong strength, but the strength on the battlefield is not the only factor that determines the victory or defeat, he must take into account that he may "carelessly lose Jingzhou", once the horse loses his front hooves, the boat capsizes in the gutter, his reputation is ruined is a trivial matter, and Xiaoguo's heavy losses are also a trivial matter, but the authority of the Holy Lord and the center has been hit by this, and the situation in Northern Xinjiang and even the relationship between the North and the South have taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Yin Shishi immediately ordered that Zhi Chong Lang would rush Qu Tu Shouhuo to Yongyang Station to support Fan Wen. If the battle situation suddenly changes and is not conducive to their own army, the rear army will become the front army, and the Yuan Li will lead the army to withdraw to Laishui first, hold Jinkou, and ensure the retreat of the army.
Yin Shishi took fifty light horses, followed Yu Tushou, and went to the front line of Yongyang Station to inspect the enemy's situation.
Qu Tushou led the army to march three miles in a hurry, and he was about to arrive at Yongyang Station, and he could hear the sound of drums and trumpets from the battlefield in front of him, and suddenly the thunderous war drums sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue, and then the sound of killing was everywhere, and the flags flew over, and countless rebel soldiers rushed out like a flood, and in a blink of an eye, Qu Tushou and his two thousand Xiaoguo were surrounded by water.
The fifty light horsemen on the left and right of the Yin Shishi and Hu Cong were shocked, and when the encirclement had not yet been closed, they desperately fought their way out of a bloody way and broke through.
After rendezvous with Yuanli, the Yin Shishi was faced with two choices, one was to accept the fact of defeat, lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat urgently, withdraw to the east of Laishui, rendezvous with Duan Da first, and then come to the rescue of Fan Wen and Qu Tushou, but the problem is that Fan Wen and Qu Tushou did not bring enough food and grass weapons, even if they persevered in the encirclement of the rebels and waited for reinforcements, but at most they would hold on for a day.
In the next day, is the Yin World Master sure that he will cross the river again to attack and successfully rescue Fan Wen and Qu Tushou? Yin Shishi didn't have this certainty, so far he hadn't figured out the reality of the rebels, but one thing was certain, the strength of the rebels was far stronger than he imagined, and the white thief's use of troops was far higher than he imagined, so he had an ominous intuition, if he withdrew at this moment, Fan Wen and Qu Tushou would definitely be wiped out.
Fan Wen is the son of Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Eastern Capital, and Qu Tushou is the son of Qu Tutong, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, and Fan Zigai and Qu Tutong are both ministers trusted and relied on by the Holy Lord, so it is not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be if the Yin Shishi left Fan Wen and Qu Tushou to escape alone.
In this way, the Yin World Master only has one choice left, to live and die with Xiaoguo.
The Yin World Master ordered, attacked, attacked with all his might, tore through the encirclement of the rebels, defeated the rebels, rescued Qu Tushou at all costs, rescued Fan Wen, and rescued every Xiaoguo brother.
At the same time, the Yin World Division sent his cronies to fly to the Juma River battlefield to ask Duan Da for help. Yin Shishi was confident in rescuing Fan Wen and Qu Tushou, but he was not sure to kill the rebels' encirclement, after all, there was a Laishui River on the way to evacuate, and if he did not respond, he would be hit by the rebels halfway, and the losses would be incalculable.
General Yuan Li did not question the orders of the Yin Shi Shi, although the sudden change in the battle situation did surprise him, but he was dismissive of the rebel army in front of him. It's just careless to underestimate the enemy, temporarily letting the rebels take advantage of it, but strength determines everything, with the strong strength of the Xiaoguo army, as long as it is treated solemnly and attacks with all its might, it will be able to tear apart the rebels in front of them who don't know the sky and the earth and seek their own death.
However, for a certain purpose, Yuan Li still reminded the Yin World Master, "If the white thief puts the main force on the west bank of Laishui, its main purpose must be to ensure the safety of the retreat. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Yin World Master was secretly frightened. If the white thief puts the main force on the west bank of Laishui to ensure the safety of the retreat, then the white thief will not have the courage to fight to the death, and he will have a greater certainty of rescuing Fan Wen and Qu Tushou, but the problem is that the rebels on the other side of the Juma River are in vain, purely bluffing, Duan Da will be able to attack with a drum, and then how will Duan Da make a decision? Do you take the opportunity to rush to the aid of Gaoyang, or do you join yourself and go south together? If he rushes to Gaoyang as fast as possible in order to rush to the aid of Gaoyang, then he will inevitably divide the troops into two ways, he will take the team to go first, leaving himself behind to follow up, so the situation will be unfavorable, the white thief sees Duan Da hurriedly going south, he must do his best to besiege and kill Xiaoguo, and because of the lack of timely support from Duan Da, his side is very likely to be trapped alive by the rebels on the west bank of Laishui.
But if you want to stop Duan Da from taking advantage of the situation to go south, you must tell Duan Da that Xiaoguo's side has fallen into the siege of rebels and is in danger, otherwise it is an understatement, Duan Da's judgment is wrong, and he misunderstands that Xiaoguo is suspected of deliberately delaying his southward movement, then he may not be able to return to the aid of the whole division, so Xiaoguo is very likely to really bury his life for the sake of "face".
The Netherworld Master hesitated. Is Xiaoguo surrounded by the rebels, precarious, and must Duan Da do his best to support? This is no longer just a matter of "face", but also related to the future of the Yin World Master, although he and Duan Da are world friends, and their personal relationship is very good, Duan Da will definitely not betray him, but what about the others? Yuan Li, who was born in the first wealthy family in front of him, as well as Fan Wen and Qu Tushou, will they "stab the knife" in the back?
In an instant, the Yin World Master made a decision, he would rather not have a career than ensure the life of the Xiaoguo soldiers. Besides, Duan Da has persuaded him to stay in Zhuo County, and the brothers will fight the border together, since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to agree to Duan Da, although leaving Xiaoguo, away from the Holy Lord and the center, his career may come to an end, but compared to the annihilation of the whole army, the flow of the first generation of fame is ten million times stronger.
"If you stay behind, you will say that I am surrounded by rebels and in danger, so please do whatever it takes to help." The Yin Shi Shi Shi waved his hand vigorously at the guards of his cronies, and said sharply, "Please make sure that he rushes to the Laishui River as soon as possible, crosses the river to the west, and makes every effort to accept my Xiaoguo to withdraw from the battlefield." ”
The guards bowed down and galloped away.
Yuan Li's expression was grim, and an imperceptible sneer flashed in his eyes. The Yin World Division is going to be unlucky, even if the Xiaoguo Army is like a bamboo, defeats the rebels and flees in embarrassment, successfully rescues Fan Wen and Qu Tushou, and even achieves the pre-war goal, successfully relieves the siege of Yicheng, and captures Wuhui City, it will be difficult to save the future of the Yin World Division in the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo Army is the face of the Holy Lord, you have made the Holy Lord lose face, can you continue to stay in the Xiaoguo Army and stay by the Holy Lord's side?
The Xiaoguo army launched a fierce counterattack, the Yin World Division took the lead, and the Xiaoguo soldiers moved forward, the killing sound shook the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
At the same time, in Yongyangyi, Fan Wen has fully understood the "power" of the rebels, and the strength of the other party is indeed worse than his own, but the opponent has many people, sharp weapons, and strong morale, and he will undoubtedly lose if he continues to fight, so he ordered to shrink the defense and wait for reinforcements.
The reinforcements are not far behind, and they are in a fierce confrontation with the rebels, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to kill and rendezvous, so Fan Wen and Xiaoguo are very optimistic, while defending with all their might, while waiting patiently, the strange thing is that the rebels' offensive has also weakened, I don't know if the losses are too big to move, or they are pinned down by Xiaoguo's reinforcements.
Instead of reining in his defense, Qu Tushou fought to the death and attacked at all costs. He believed that Fan Wen had been surrounded by the rebels, and that all the people who were surrounded from all sides were the rebels' blocking teams, so he had to break through the enemy's encirclement and rendezvous with Fan Wen, only in this way could he rescue Fan Wen, so as not to be divided and surrounded by the rebels, and each one was broken.
At this moment, Li Fengyun was on the front line of Yongyangyi, and in the face of changes in the battle situation, he made a decisive decision and ordered Xiahou Zhe, the head of the alliance who was blocking Qu Tushou head-on, to immediately get out of the way and let Qu Tushou and Fan Wenhui go.
He also ordered the Fifth Army of the Alliance, which was head-on to block the Yin World Division, to lead the army Nan Yutang, and retreat in battle, luring the Yin World Division into the encirclement.
He also ordered Guo Fangpre, the commander-in-chief who was on standby in the army, to immediately rush to the Laishui River to meet with Guo Ming, the commander-in-chief who had arrived at the Laishui River in advance, and to block the attack of the Weifu army on the opposite bank at any cost.
He also ordered Wang Bo, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and Cao Kun, who was also on standby in the whole army, to immediately lead the army to join the main battlefield to ensure the "thickness" and "strength" of the encirclement, and not to give the Xiaoguo army the slightest chance to break through.
"Is there any news from Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong)?" After Li Fengyun issued a series of orders, he turned to the Juma River battlefield.
Yuan An smiled and shook his head, "No news is good news." However, judging from the current battle situation, the Yin Shishi has fallen into our encirclement because of the lone army, and the battle situation is very favorable to us, and Duan Da is still as cautious as ever, it is too difficult for Jianchang Gong to lure him into the encirclement, so there is a suggestion. ”
Li Fengyun comprehended and smiled, "Good!" The book told Jianchang Gong that the time has come, it is better to contact it as soon as possible, and if you talk about it, you can still sell personal favors, otherwise you will have a winner, tear your face, and have a grudge, and it will be difficult to talk about it again. ”
