Chapter 571: Changing generals before the battle
The rain became heavier and heavier, but Yue Shaoan stood outside the door and refused to go back to the house. In desperation, the people below had to bring chairs and a huge umbrella, and temporarily set up a pavilion in front of the house to shelter from the rain.
Here, Yue Shao'an was anxiously waiting for the news in the middle house, and a hundred miles southwest of Hangzhou City, Niu Qing was fighting bloodily at this time.
The 30,000 troops in front blocked Fang Ning, preventing him from taking a step forward. Here 10,000 horses surrounded Niu Qing's 3,000 cavalry, and the infantry's spear arrays were lined up layer by layer, making Niu Qing helpless.
The heavy rain continued to wash away, and the ground had accumulated a thick layer of water, and the besieging infantry was still digging trenches in the rain. accumulation of rainwater, and thin mud. In such a situation, once the trench is built, it will be difficult for Niu Qing's 3,000 cavalry to fly out even if they have wings.
Seeing this form, Niu Qing immediately stood in front of the formation, looking at the infantry in front of him with both eyes, his face was ugly.
"General, why is the old general so ruthless......" Niu Qing next to a deputy general was more than half a hundred years old, looking at the formation in front of him, it was actually old tears, and said: "He is such an only son as you, how can he bear to kill cleanly-"
Niu Qing raised his head, let the rain hit his face, let out a long sigh, lowered his head, opened his eyes, and said softly: "There is no father and son on the battlefield, and this is true throughout the ages." Now each is his master, the king of heaven and earth is the teacher, the king is in front, and the relatives are behind. His father was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty all his life, and it was not surprising that he did so. Can't blame him......"
"But, but...... No matter how you say it, you are father and son after all, how can the old general bear ......"
"Li Huai, there is no need to say it again. Now that our father and son are facing each other, let my father see the skills that his children have learned over the years, and if he can rush out today, he will do his filial piety again in the future. It can be regarded as my father and Mr. Yue did not teach me in vain, if I die here today, it is also a lack of skill, so as to be a lesson for future generations. Niu Qing said, but he raised a fierce breath, and suddenly shouted: "Someone-"
"Inβ"
Several generals shouted in unison.
"The bow and arrow opened the way, and the grain cart added the way. We rushed into the fray. Niu Qing raised the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly.
"General, wait." Suddenly, Li Huaiheng stood in front of Niu Qing's horse and said: "General, now the old general's side is strong, even if we get out of this blockade, there are still 30,000 troops in front, how can we rush over, and then we will inevitably suffer from the enemy, but how is it good?" Maybe the old general wants us to do the same now. β
"I know my father, who was known for his composure all his life. If we are let through, Fang Ning's people over there will definitely fight to the death. At that time, of course, we will be attacked by the enemy, but the formation of those 30,000 people will inevitably be chaotic because of us, and the variables will increase a lot. With my father's character, he would definitely not take such a risk. So, he's going to trap us here. Niu Qing said, his eyes showed a bit of fascination, and said: "However, Mr. Yue is different, Mr. Yue uses soldiers, and he never guesses what he will do next." That's what I've always wanted to learn, but I couldn't. Now, I'm going to try this death and resurrection, and make a risky move. β
"General, no, never." Li Huai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "We are different from the emperor, the reason why the emperor can defeat the enemy in every battle is that the soldiers are like gods, and second, the emperor's army is well-equipped, and many weapons are unheard of before. Moreover, the emperor is good at using the power of water and fire, and it is definitely not comparable to us. General, please think again. β
Take advantage of the power of fire and water! Niu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, at this time his back is against the mountain, a small river is attached to the foot of the mountain, on weekdays, because of the scarcity of water, the water in this small river is only enough to drink, but today's heavy rain, the water has risen, if the river is intercepted, and then try to lead it, then the front of the gun array will definitely cease to exist.
Niu Qing just thought of this, and suddenly shook his head again, the other party is his father's disciple, does he really want to use this method? So when the time comes, who can guarantee that he can't hurt his father?
Niu Qing became suspicious.
Li Huai saw that Niu Qing's face changed and thought that his dissuasion had played a role, and hurriedly said: "General, we are staying here now, and for a while, the old general will not be able to attack." I believe that the reinforcements of the imperial division must be on the way, as long as the reinforcements of the imperial division arrive, we can relieve the siege, the general must not be impulsive. β
Niu Qing shook his head, took a deep breath, and said: "This is only a hundred miles away from Hangzhou City, Mr. Yue's reinforcements are definitely not as fast as Hangzhou City's reinforcements, if we delay here, there will be more danger, and when the time comes, there will still be a chance." β
As he spoke, suddenly, there was a commotion in the enemy formation in front of him, and a new team rushed over, looking through the rain curtain, but there was no end in sight.
Li Huai's face turned pale all of a sudden. I'm really afraid of something, just when it comes to reinforcements, the other party's reinforcements arrive, how can this be good.
Niu Qing also frowned, and for a while, the idea of rushing to kill the past also faded.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In Niu Hongzhi's tent, Li Jun came violently, opened the tent door, and shouted: "Niu Hongzhi takes the order-"
Niu Hongzhi was a little stunned, and when he heard the word "order", he knelt down busily.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Niu Hongzhi has besieged the rebels for a long time and has no benefit......" sprinkled a bunch of high-sounding words, which roughly means that it has been besieged for so long, and it has not been effective, it should be that the old general's troops are not enough, I will send Li Jun to assist you now, you only need to be responsible for the soldiers and horses on Fang Ning's side, Niu Qing is here, and hand it over to Li Jun.
Although the words were very gentle, and there were many rewards for Niu Hongzhi. However, how could Niu Hongzhi not hear the hidden meaning of this.
This is clearly because he felt that he was defending his son and couldn't bear to do it, so he sent a butcher. Niu Hongzhi listened to it, and thanked him, but he didn't feel good in his heart, for the sake of the royal family, he didn't even care about the life and death of his son, and he still got suspicion.
For a while, Niu Hongzhi seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and waved his hand tiredly to ask his subordinates to withdraw the gun array, handing over the defense of this side to Li Jun.
Li Jun was originally defeated by Fang Ning in the first battle of Hangzhou City, so he no longer had to use it, but fortunately, this time, the emperor was at the time of "Liao Hua, a general in Shuzhong, who became a pioneer", and originally planned to support Liang Kun, but he didn't expect to fight with Yue Shao'an, Liang Kun was almost abolished by Zhang Chusan, so he had to send Li Jun.
This time, Li Jun can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, and then going to a high position, he is naturally energetic and unstoppable, and immediately smiled: "Old General Niu, you can rest well, see Ben Shuai bring the head of Niu Qing, haha......"
