Chapter Forty-Six: The Crisis in Tingxian County
On the evening of February 25 in the second year of Jianning, Tingxian County, the county government was in the room.
Ding Yuan was lying on the bed covered in injuries, and the adjutant general on the side said, "General, are you better?" ”
"Ahem" Ding Yuan was just about to speak, when there was a rapid coughing sound, which made Ding Yuan can't help but think of Bai Yue's situation.
During the day, the hundred people rushed to the city, and the crossbowmen prepared by Ding Yuan for them instantly buried them with a rain of arrows.
But when the rain of arrows stopped, only three of the 100 people had been lost, and the Han crossbowmen were shocked.
And they took advantage of this short moment to rush forward.
Ding Yuan, who had no other way, had no choice but to lead his troops to stop him, and Ding Yuan, who had good martial arts, could only resist the simultaneous attack of the three of them.
Ding Yuan was like this, not to mention the others, the hundred people were like wolves entering the flock, and the Han army was defeated and retreated.
In the blink of an eye, they were firmly established on the city walls, and the counter-forces behind them continued to climb up and join the attack.
Although the Han army relied on its large numbers, it gradually recovered its defeat after losing a section of the city wall.
But the madness and indifference shown in the masked army's eyes made the Han army dare not move.
It was so ridiculous, madness and indifference appeared in a person's eyes at the same time, Ding Yuan clearly saw a masked rebel who had his right hand cut off by his own corporal, but he still held a knife in his left hand and fought endlessly.
What if both arms are broken? Ding Yuan had such a ridiculous idea in his mind at that time.
From this, we can see the strength of the masked anti-army.
If it weren't for Wang Yun, the prime minister of Beihai, who led the crossbowmen to conduct three rounds of shooting regardless of the enemy and me, I am afraid that Tingxian would have been lost at this time.
Ding Yuan struggled to sit up and asked weakly, "How many men and horses are there in our army?" ”
The adjutant general hesitated for a moment and said, "General, there are only 600 soldiers left in Beihai County, and 300 of them are wounded. The new army, including cavalry, still has more than 4,000 people. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough"
When Ding Yuan heard these numbers, he almost didn't come up in one breath and passed out.
What a day! What a day! There are only more than 4,000 people left in the 10,000 new army, is this still a siege war?
"How much do the rebels lose?"
"Not fifteen thousand."
After the adjutant general said this number, Ding Yuan felt better, at least the strength of the anti-army was also greatly damaged, and the siege of the city would not be so crazy.
"Report!!"
At that moment, a herald ran in quickly.
"Speak"
The deputy general saw that Ding Yuan was unwell, so he spoke.
Hearing this, the herald hurriedly raised his head and said, "Just now, Jinyi Wei sent a report to investigate, saying that the rebel army sent 40,000 troops from Huang County and is marching here. ”
Ding Yuan stared at the map not far away when he heard this, and was silent.
The lieutenant waved at the herald to let him down, and then looked at the map as well.
After a while, Ding Yuan said puzzledly, "If Huang County sends 40,000 troops, you should go to be profitable!" Even if there are 5,000 cavalry in Dangli, but 40,000 troops are enough to win Dangli? If we don't win the profits, our army can go straight to Huangxian! In this way, it will not help to win the county? ”
At the same time, in Dangli County, Dong Pet asked the same question as Ding Yuan.
Jia Xu replied with a smile, "General, this is to lure me to wait!" ”
"Seduction? Please be clear. ”
"The general must think that Huang County is a bait, right? In fact, otherwise, its bait is Dongmu, a heavy land for grain, general, if we go straight to Dongmu, what are the chances of winning? ”
Dong Pet thought for a while and said, "Thirty percent, but even if it is one percent, a certain will make a bet, if it wins, the battle in Donglai can be settled." If he loses, he will not move the army at all. ”
"What the general said is very true." Jia Xu stroked his palm lightly and said, "However, this is what Liu Ju wants to see, so why did Liu Ju put all his belongings in the south?" ”
Dong Pet looked at the map and suddenly exclaimed, "Xuzhou? ”
"Yes, Xia Guan guessed that this Liu thought that he had lost his profits and could no longer stand on his own feet in Donglai, so he planned to mobilize all his troops to eat General Xu Rong's new army, and then enter Chengyang to attack Langxie."
"Then I don't know what Wenhe's plan is?"
Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said, "General, now that we are waiting for no soldiers, we want to have no generals, what can Jia do?" ”
After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "The best way now is to send a large army to fight with it in Ting County. ”
This time it was Dong Pet's turn to smile bitterly, an army? Where is he going to steal an army now?
Dong Pet and Jia Xu are worried, and the war in Tingxian County is still going on.
"Chirp"
"Kill"
Ding Yuan was supported by two people on the city wall and watched the rebels who were constantly attacking the city, and scolded in his heart, what was wrong, he fought so badly during the day, and he still fought at night. But fortunately, the masked army didn't make it, well, no one had stormed the city wall yet.
At this time, Wang Yun, the prime minister of Beihai, came over and said, "General Ding, you go down and rest!" Here's what's going on! ”
Ding Yuan knew that this Beihai Prime Minister was a capable person, and martial arts were okay, but Ding Yuan really couldn't go down, so he said, "Your Excellency! The lieutenant general died in battle, and he is the only general in this position with a rank of 2,000 stones, do you say that he can go down? Although you are also in the military, do you think that someone who breaks the rules will have good results? ”
As he spoke, Ding Yuan glanced at the staff officers of the staff who were recording not far away.
Wang Yun could only smile bitterly when he saw this, although this staff officer system can effectively control the army, but it is too rigid, and the chief general is not allowed to hand over the command without authorization.
At this point, let Ding Yuan die on the city tower, of course, if the main general really can't give the order, the command can be handed over, but it must be handed over to the staff officers.
The staff officer then reported to the imperial court, and during this period in between, the staff officer was the military officer.
Seeing the embarrassment of Ding Yuan and Wang Yun, the deputy general said, "Prime Minister, general, if the rebels continue to attack like this, the county will not be able to defend it!" ”
Wang Yun's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "If you can't keep it, you have to defend it, and I have ordered the people of the whole city to guard the city, regardless of men and women." Violators will be charged with treason. ”
Ding Yuan heard what he said, "Prime Minister of State, don't be like this. ”
"Why?" Wang Yun asked puzzled.
Ding Yuan glanced around and whispered, "Except for the border city, Your Majesty does not allow anyone to levy and send people to participate in the war, because he is afraid that the generals will take the opportunity to take the right to take the army." ”
Wang Yun looked at Ding Yuan angrily and said, "When is it, you still care so much, the overall situation is important." ”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and went down the city wall.
Ding Yuan looked at Wang Yun's back angrily, and said secretly, "Hmph, this general is good for you, but you don't appreciate it, then it depends on how you end." ”
Wang Yun's surname is as hot as fire, everything is for the overall situation, for the sake of the Han family, it can be said that he is a diehard member of the Han family.
And Ding is loyal to the Han family, but he hopes to protect himself.
This can be seen from the two things in history, although Liu Hong has changed history, the two are still at odds.
If Liu Hong knew, he would have shouted the historical surname.
ps: There is a question about not doing that, when was Big Joe and Little Joe born? I didn't check the information, and found that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were married after the death of his father Qiao Xuan, but Qiao Xuan died in his seventies! So how old was Big Joe and Little Joe at that time?
Or do you make a mistake and ask for an explanation!!!
