Chapter 592: The shortcomings of the Dingzhou Army

"General Xiong, General Xiong!" A soldier came running from a distance, shouting loudly as he ran. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's He Yishan, oh, it's the vanguard general Buyangu's deputy you said, what's the matter with yelling?" Xiong Dehai said with a smile: "Lao Guan, if you don't get angry, can you beat Na Buyangu out of anger later?" ”

Guan Xinglong snorted: "I let you say it anyway, so I let me beat him, how can I beat him?" ”

Xiong Dehai smiled, looked at He Yishan who ran to him, and asked, "What's the matter, Buyangu, don't you dare to come to see me?" ”

He Yishan greeted the two generals with a smile, and then said: "The two generals are overjoyed, Captain Buyangu captured the enemy general Zhou Wenle alive!" ”

"What?" Guan Xiong and the two were overjoyed, today's battle was fought in no order, and the two of them were already satisfied with the victory, and they actually captured the other party's main general alive, which was an unexpected joy.

"Captain Buyangu asked me to go first and report the good news to the two generals!" He Yishan said with a smile.

Guan Xinglong laughed and glanced at Xiong Dewu, and said, "Okay, for the sake of him capturing Zhou Wenle alive, I won't bother with him!" What are you going to do next, old bear? ”

Xiong Dehai said: "It's not far from Qinzhou City, we will meet immediately, it's better to go together, anyway, when we get to Qinzhou City, we still have to meet!" ”

Guan Xinglong smiled and nodded, the further he goes, the stronger the enemy will inevitably become, and the two armies will have many benefits. The Tianlei Battalion, the Hengdao Battalion, and the Hailing Battalion gathered together, and there were already more than 18,000 soldiers, and their strength had greatly increased.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stepped into Qinzhou City, and the buttocks were not yet hot, and the news came that the entire army of Zhou Wenle was wiped out, and even Zhou Wenle himself was captured alive.

"Horizontal knife, heavenly thunder, Hailing!" Looking at the other party's fluttering flag, Qu Yongjie, who was standing at the head of Qinzhou City, took a breath of cold air, "The two armies of the left and middle roads of Dingzhou have converged!" ”

Zhou Tong held his waist knife and looked at the military camp in the distance, "They came so fast!" I really can't figure it out, is the Dingzhou Army really invincible in the world? In such weather, the army was forcibly driven, and it still maintained such combat effectiveness, and the rear army that defeated Zhou Wenle in a battle, Qu Houye, Qiu Houye, my heart is really cold! ”

Qiu Zhi looked a lot older, and was put on a stand by King Ning, although this is not entirely to blame him, it is related to the entire strategic form of King Ning, but it still makes Qiu Zhi feel extremely uncomfortable, and the good form was suddenly reversed, not only the overwhelming King Ning has since stood on his feet, but the Li soldiers and horses are even more soldiers in the city, and the unification of Great Chu is far away.

"It seems that it is imperative to persuade Your Majesty to withdraw from Qinzhou and give up Qinzhou, if we really fight Li Qing here, no matter whether we win or lose, King Ning will not let go of this opportunity." Qu Yongjie looked at the two of them.

Qiu Zhi was silent for a long time and said, "Wait for two days!" His Majesty was in a bad mood. ”

Qu Yongjie and Zhou Tong stopped talking, Yuan Fang came back from Dingzhou, and the news he brought back made everyone sad, Princess Allure died and committed suicide. No matter what Li Qing or the people of Dingzhou think of Allure, for the apocalypse, for these people, Princess Allure is a strange woman who has done her best for Da Chu and worked hard, such a woman died like this, although after Li Qing reappeared, everyone had an ominous premonition, but after really hearing the news, they still couldn't help but feel sad.

"Your Majesty shut himself up in his room, and no one was seen." Qiu Zhi said: "At this time, it will only backfire to mention the withdrawal of troops to Your Majesty, the anger in Your Majesty's heart will be difficult to subside, and after two days, Your Majesty will calm down, and you will see the form in front of you clearly, without us mentioning, Your Majesty will retreat from Qinzhou." ”

"What Qiu Houye said is very true, but Qinzhou still has to fight after all, not to mention anything else, Li Qing will never watch us retreat safely, this is the end of January, the weather is starting to get warmer, once the snow melts, Dingzhou Iron Cavalry will become a great threat to us. Qinzhou, the land of the plains, easy to attack and difficult to defend, large-scale cavalry interspersed with detours, will make us very uncomfortable, we can only rely on Qinzhou City to cover the retreat of the army, and I hope that Your Majesty will wake up from the grief of the princess's death as soon as possible, time is not waiting! Qu Yongjie sighed.

In Qinzhou City, the apocalypse closed the door tightly, even the old eunuch Huang was driven out, Yuan Fang knelt down in front of the door, this is the second day, seeing that the sky is getting dark, the door still has no trace of opening, and the room is still silent, the old eunuch Huang said in a low voice: "Commander Yuan, you better go back first!" Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely not see you today. ”

Yuan Fang knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister went first!" Standing up and about to leave, the door opened, Yuan Fang turned his head around, and the apocalypse appeared in front of the door, what shocked Yuan Fang was that the apocalypse, who had not been seen for two days, seemed to be a lot older, and the original black hair actually appeared mottled white, Yuan Fang felt a pain in his heart, "Your Majesty!" It's the incompetence of the ministers! ”

Tianqi waved his hand, "Summoning Qu Yongjie, Qiu Zhi, Zhou and others to see me!" ”

On the first day of the first month of February, Li Qing's army came to the city of Qinzhou, with a three-way army, more than 100,000 horses, and a large camp extending for more than ten miles. At the same time, the main force of the Apocalypse began a large-scale retreat from Qinzhou.

"Dashuai, did you just watch them run away?" Wang Qinian said loudly, "Isn't it a pity not to eat the fat meat in your mouth?" ”

Jiang Kui responded loudly: "Yes, Dashuai, it doesn't snow these days, the ground is frozen stiff, our cavalry can finally come in handy, the Qinzhou Plain area is suitable for our large-scale interspersed encirclement, even if we can't swallow it in one bite, we can also knock it out a little bit to satisfy our hunger!" ”

Li Qing looked around at the generals, and it seemed that everyone had this intention. Even Uncle Li Sizhi and father Li Muzhi nodded slightly.

Standing up, Li Qing felt the need to pour cold water on the generals.

"Generals, it is true that our cavalry can be used, but we must pay attention to one point, February has arrived, the weather is getting warmer, the snow may melt at any time, once the snow melts, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, for our cavalry, this is not a small problem, the cavalry can move on a large scale, but what about logistics, baggage, we have a battalion of five or six thousand cavalry, like Chang Sheng, the whirlwind two battalions are one person and two horses, such a huge horse team, without strong logistical support, how to fight? The main force of the Apocalypse is indeed a piece of fat, but there are very hard bones in this piece of fat, and if we don't do it, it will break our teeth. ”

"What's more, in the Apocalypse Army, famous generals are like clouds, Qu Yongjie, Qiu Zhi doesn't need to be said, it's Zhou Tong, that's not to be underestimated, don't forget, how Zhang Aimin broke his wrist to survive and got out of the dead end!" Li Qingdao: "These enemy generals, all of whom are experienced, when retreating, how can they not guard against our pursuit, and maybe they will set a few traps for us to drill!" ”

"That's right!" Guan Xinglong stood up, "Like Zhou Wenle, he is not well-known, but the last time I fought against him, I almost suffered a big loss, if it wasn't for good luck, let him go, Luoyang has accumulated for hundreds of years, and the heritage is profound, we still have to be careful!" ”

"General Guan is right, the apocalypse is not the Lu family, it is not so easy to clean up, and besides, where Qinzhou is erected, it seems to be a needle piercing our throats, if we don't take Qinzhou, we dare to take a detour? If there are fewer people, it will be a fart to catch up, and if there are fewer people besieging Qinzhou, the defenders of Qinzhou will make us lose our food, and we must guard against them from going out of the city to bite back anytime and anywhere. Li Qing took a few steps and said.

"Moreover, don't forget, the ultimate goal of our battle this time is to take Qinzhou, since we can't eat the apocalypse in one bite, and there is even the danger of breaking our teeth, why should we do it, take Qinzhou, we will win this battle. Don't forget, big guy, on our side, there's another tiger lying on our side, looking at us with wide eyes! Li Qing nodded in the direction of Qingzhou.

"The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, the road has to be walked step by step, the Great Chu has been established for hundreds of years, how can we win in one battle, step by step, we have laid a solid foundation, and the rest will come naturally!"

Li Qing waved his hand and made a footnote to his words, "Take Qinzhou and end this war, as for the apocalypse, let's go, the days are still long, and there is a time for competition." ”

Li Qing has made a decision, the generals will no longer say anything, but change the topic, began to discuss how to attack Qinzhou City, Qinzhou is a strategic place, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, the city is high and strong, its steepness is not lost in the slightest in Dingzhou City, the perimeter of the city wall is more than ten miles, it is the number of Xiongcheng in the Central Plains, Hu Zequan led the army of tens of thousands, and Xiao Yuanshan only used twenty or thirty thousand garrisons, so that Hu Ze could not enter an inch, and finally made Qin Kaiyuan lose patience, surrounded but did not fight, and turned to attack Minzhou, fell into Xiao Haoran's trap, and returned defeated, so that King Ning has been in a predicament since then, if it weren't for the apocalypse this time to calculate Dingzhou, stealing chickens and rice, King Ning would still be difficult to slow down.

And for such a strong city, the generals are also at a loss, except for a hard attack, there is no other way, the long-term siege is not in line with the reality of Dingzhou, and it is even more unrealistic to expect the other party to fill the city and escape, the apocalypse left to defend the city must be the henchman generals, the purpose is to contain Li Qing's army, until the last moment, these troops will never abandon the city, even if Li Qing leaves them an escape channel.

"Headache!" Li Qing scratched his head, for a long time, the Dingzhou army has not really attacked a Xiongcheng, Bayan Kala was trapped to death, but Qinzhou has no risk of food and grass, and Luzhou City was a retreat from the wind, Weizhou City, is that also a Xiongcheng? As for some of the cities that were defeated by the Dingzhou army, compared to Qinzhou City, it was like the difference between a big mountain and a small hill, Li Qing shook his head with a wry smile, the world-famous Dingzhou army finally encountered his shortcomings, how to attack Jiancheng!
