Chapter 63: The Fall of Surabaya Pass 3

"Oh, that's not right."

Jiang Yun reacted instantly and said, "I have 50,000 iron horsemen under my command, so what about 5,000 people?" ”

Wei Ning put away the map and said: "The remaining 5,000 people are not allowed to enter the camp, only stay outside the camp and stand by, if Jiang Yiyuan sets up an ambush in the camp, these 5,000 people can meet you at any time, or rescue you, and most importantly, ensure that the road is clear when you retreat, don't be blocked by Jiang Yiyuan's design, then you won't even have a chance to escape." ”

"General Wei, can we stop saying such depressing words? Before General Qin and I set out on the expedition, you began to think about how to rescue. Jiang Yun said.

However, he had to admit that Wei Ning's arrangement was very orderly.

First, control the enemy's war horse, making it difficult for it to form combat effectiveness; After destroying the enemy's grain and grass camp, just like Wei Ning just said, even if the camp failed, it would not be considered a vain run, because the enemy had no food and grass and could only withdraw his troops, and then Surabaya Pass would be safe.

More importantly, while Qin Liang was burning grain and grass, Jiang Yunzheng led 40,000 iron cavalry to attack Pang Yi's Chinese army, so that the enemy would be embarrassed, and either lose the Chinese army tent or be burned grain and grass

Such a good strategy is really foolproof.

Qin Liang and Jiang Yun were both very impressed, anyway, they couldn't think of it.

Wei Ning said: "Didn't you say in the art of war, make good use of soldiers, don't worry about victory and defeat first, I am here for your good, but also for the safety of Surabaya Pass, if you are defeated, Surabaya Pass lacks troops, it will be difficult to hold for a long time." ”

"Alright."

"Don't be verbose, time is pressing, we're going on the expedition, you just stay in the city and wait for our good news."

Jiang Yun looked at Qin Liang and said, "General Qin, you don't need to bring any soldiers and horses, just follow me, and I will broadcast five thousand people to you at that time, and let you see how powerful the heavy cavalry I have trained." ”

"Okay."

Qin Liang did not refuse. His 5,000 men were indeed a burden, more than forty miles away, and when they arrived, it was noon, and they attacked a fart; Only cavalry can make a quick surprise attack.

Wei Ning called for someone to fetch the drink.

"The two generals, please drink this bottle, I wish the two of them a victory!"

"Good!"

"Come, drink!"

The three of them drank it all

Minutes and seconds passed

It wasn't until two hours later, that is, at the fifth watch, that is, Qin Liang and Jiang Yun had already set out for an hour and a half, and the sky was gradually brightening, Wei Ning stood on the city pass, and he kept sending people to forty miles away to inquire about the news, but until now, no one has returned.

Wei Ning was very anxious, he had a sense of foreboding!

Suddenly, a soldier came running quickly from behind, and the soldier hurriedly said, "General, the holy decree has arrived!" ”

Divine decree?

Wei Ning was startled, and under the leadership of the soldiers, he quickly went to the city guard mansion to receive the order.

The person in charge of delivering the decree was a soldier wearing a golden helmet, Wei Ning knew, it was Qin Huai's personal soldiers, and the four people who came last time were dressed like this.

Wei Ning knelt down.

"The last general, Wei Ning, take the order."

The soldier did not read the contents of the holy decree, but asked, "What about General Wei, General Qin, and General Jiang?" ”

"This decree is for all three of you to receive at the same time."

The soldier explained.

Wei Ning said: "Envoy, Qin Liang and Jiang Yun are inconvenient to come because they have military affairs in their bodies. ”

"Well, then you'll have to pick it up for them."

The soldier opened the yellow scroll and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said; The former general Wei Ning defended the city with meritorious service, and is now named the general of Tianwei and the general army of Surabaya Pass; Jiang Yun was specially ordered to hand over all the soldiers and horses under Wei Ning's command, and Jiang Yun and Qin Liang were promoted to generals and belonged to Wei Ning's account. ”

After the soldier finished reading, Wei Ning was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly took the holy decree and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor!" ”

The soldier took out a letter from his cuff, handed it to Wei Ning, and said, "General Wei, this is a secret letter that the Taishi asked me to pass on to you, and I want you to abide by it!" ”

"Please tell the Taishi, and the general will definitely live up to the trust." Holding the letter in his hand, Wei Ning said.

The soldier nodded, then turned to leave

Happiness came too suddenly, Wei Ning was a little uncomfortable, General Tianwei, this position is not available to everyone, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only three people whose positions are equal, that is, Taishi Qin Huai, General Du Yuan, Wang Qin; These three people each have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which can be described as monstrous, and now, he is also on an equal footing with these three people.

But Wei Ning couldn't understand that he hadn't made any great contributions, how could he worry about the meager military exploits in defending the city, so that the emperor could personally issue an edict?

Don't say that there is no meritorious service, even if you make meritorious service, even if you defeat Jiang Yiyuan's hundreds of thousands of troops in one fell swoop, you will not be crowned as the general of Tianwei, right?

The official positions of the imperial court are strictly systematic, such as those positions that hold military power cannot be bought with money, especially the position of general, which requires a large number of soldiers in hand to be able to be enthroned.

This was the case with Du Yuan back then, he was the leader of a foreign tribe in the Southern Regions, and was later defeated by Qin Huai and surrendered to the imperial court; Since returning to the imperial court, all the soldiers under his command have been collected and disbanded by the emperor, but the emperor is very good at being a man, he accepted Du Yuan's soldiers at the same time, and asked Du Yuan to re-recruit hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, and also named Du Yuan as a general, so that Du Yuan can be convinced.

And now, rewarding Wei Ning is like child's play, which makes Wei Ning really hard to believe.

He couldn't help but wonder, are the current generals so worthless?

"Oh yes, and the secret letter."

Wei Ning threw the holy decree aside and hurriedly opened the secret letter

"What?"

At the beginning of the secret letter, it was clearly written that the holy decree just now was fake, and its purpose was to make Jiang Yun give up his military power, and to make the two of them completely obey Wei Ning's military orders.

Wei Ning sighed, sure enough, he guessed correctly, how easy it is to be crowned as the Great General of Tianwei, if this can be enshrined, General Tianwei is still dissatisfied and left.

Wei Ning unfolded the letter and continued to look down

After a while, when he saw the time of the great lure that Han Ziyu and Ling Feng had said, he suddenly felt dizzy: "Oh my God, it's broken!" ”

Pang Yi camp.

Time goes back to the fourth watch

At this time, Qin Liang and Jiang Yun happened to arrive with their troops, and the two looked at the quiet enemy camp in front of them and ordered the soldiers to stop.

Jiang Yun called a general and said, "Ben will give you 5,000 men, and you stay here to watch the battle; If we are ambushed, you will come to the rescue immediately, if not, you will wait here, and after General Qin and I have won a great victory, we will return to Surabaya Pass together. ”

"Order!"

The general immediately surrendered.

This is a beautiful difference, no matter what, there is no danger to life, and it is much safer than directly attacking the enemy's camp.

"General Qin, then let's start according to what Wei Ning said, let's capture the enemy's war horse camp first, and then you lead the army of 5,000 to burn grain and grass, and I personally lead the iron cavalry to attack the Chinese army, in this battle, we must capture Pang Yi alive, as well as Jiang Yiyuan!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Qin Liang had no opinion, his hammer was already hungry and thirsty.

(Well, there is something to do today, three chapters for the time being, and five chapters will be updated tomorrow; Friends, it's not easy for newcomers, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, so far, the results of Xiaoxiong are too miserable to bear to look at directly. )
