Ma Wanlong's face was pale, and he sat in his official office and listened to the report of the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield. finally angrily pushed the few cases in front of him. With a loud bang, he ordered loudly: "Invite me Wanyan Huxi!" As he spoke, he sat down and kept stroking his hot head.

A rather handsome middle-aged man who had been observing his words and expressions by his side muttered: "This Guiyi Army came suddenly, fought fiercely, and was also awarded the official position of our Dajin. The combat power is strong, and the name is also right, and we have to deal with it well. ”

Ma Wanlong snorted: "Quan Guanqing, you persuaded me to withdraw from the Northern Beggars Gang, but I didn't expect it to be today!" Following Wuxian is to go all the way and lose all the way, it is easy to have a foundation in Dengzhou, but it is stuck between Mongolia, Jinguo and the Guiyi Army that is emerging now, and this day is also very difficult! ”

Quan Guanqing smiled coldly, and found a seat for himself to sit down: "If you don't leave, can the two of us rely on the Bei Beggars Gang?" We have all seen Xiao Feng's methods. He can vote for his brother, why can't we vote for Jinguo? In this troubled world, it is not certain who will come out............ We don't have to talk about him about these past events, but now we still have the strength of more than 10,000 people, and there is such a strong city, so we have time to plan slowly. ”

"Take your time and make a fart! More than 10,000 people, how much food do they have to consume every day? The accumulation in our city is only two or three thousand stones, and if it lasts for a month, it is time to burn high incense. It's better to take down those forts in Huzui Village as soon as possible, what nonsense do you want to leave as wings. Now they've trimmed our wings! ”

Quan Guanqing's expression was solemn: "What's wrong with keeping Geng's big mouth as wings?" At least the envoys we sent there kept coming back with information, although the Guiyi army said that there were more than 20,000 people, but they couldn't even beat Geng Dazui's stockade, and there was no way to take our Dengzhou. Now the plan is to hurry up and finish the face of Huxi, and we don't hesitate anymore and hurry up to the Mongolian army! Whether it is a group of Mongolian reinforcements from Zhongjing or Shaanxi, this Guiyi army can be broken soon. ”

"But the soldiers of this Jin country are right in front of you! Half of my elite went out, and they were eaten by others to the point that there was not even a bit of scum left! I'll think about these things again. ”

Quan Guanqing sneered: "You still want to fish in troubled waters, don't you?" It's not like it used to be. In the past, although Mongolia had a big advantage, the Jin country still had the power to resist, swaying on both sides, and we had the advantage of it. But now that the sky is about to turn upside down, if we don't make up our minds, let's wait for the funeral of the Yan family. ”

He stood up and walked a few steps towards Ma Wanlong, and his tone was sincere: "Old Ma, we are old brothers who came out of the beggar gang, I don't want to lead troops with you all these years, I don't take power, and I will do my best to plan for you." Don't you just want you to come forward so that you can find Xiao Feng for revenge? What have I missed over the years? It's time to make up your mind! ”

Ma Wanlong was a little moved, and even called out Quan Guanqing's position when he was in the beggar gang: "All the hall masters, I can take care of all this, but I still have to settle down and explain these people." The great enemy in front of us is also to be dealt with. I have taken your words to heart............"

While talking, Wan Yan was politely brought up by Ma Wanlong's subordinates. He had been in Dengzhou for two days, and as soon as he arrived, he showed Ma Wanlong the edict. Unexpectedly, there was no incense case to greet him, and he almost turned his face. Although he was politely placed under house arrest here, he never paid attention to him. can only make this young nobleman feel that the Dajin Kingdom is already in decline, and his eager heart to call on these troops to rescue Bianliang has slowly faded.

Seeing Wanyan being brought up calmly, Ma Wanlong changed his smiling face: "General Wanyan, military affairs have been busy these days, so I didn't dare to disturb you, you won't be surprised." ”

Wanyan suddenly found a seat and sat down for a while, and said with a smile: "Eat well, drink well, what do I have to be surprised about?" Besides, my general is very nominal, and there are ten thousand tigers under Lord Xiangma, how dare I be surprised? ”

Ma Wanlong immediately wanted to do it, but after so many years in the Jin Kingdom, the children of the clan still had a little prestige in their hearts. He swallowed this breath and said with a wry smile: "I know that adults are still not happy with us. However, we are all soldiers under the Dajin Kingdom, and the things mentioned in the edict may not be undiscussed, and I have to prepare for a few days with such a share. As a result, the general's subordinates came to the door ruthlessly, although there was no victory or defeat in a fight, but everyone hurt the harmony after all. The subordinates are surging and want to be unfavorable to the general, and I have suppressed them hard. Let's see, how does this turn around? ”

Wan Yan suddenly raised his head to the sky and said lightly: "The monarch is dead, and it is nothing for my clan to die in state affairs." I'm here, unarmed, you can do whatever you want. But you have to remember that no matter how bad my gold is, there are still more than 100,000 loyal and daring troops, and if the emperor really chooses to retreat from Dengzhou to Shaanxi one day, you won't be able to escape that day! ”

He stood up: "So the edict persuades you to go to Xichuan to meet your general Wuxian is also good, you are the general Wuxian general, go there to meet, you also have a territory, and your strength is also thick, if you have a loyal heart, you will naturally go to King Qin." What if you want to find your own way? The world is great, and it will go with you. Now there are 20,000 Guiyi soldiers pressing Dengzhou, where to go, General Ma thinks about it himself. Personally, I'll wait for General Ma's disposal. ”

After speaking, he nodded slightly and walked down the steps. Leaving Ma Wanlong and Quan Guanqing looking at each other.

In the next two days, Ma Wanlong and Quan Guanqing received all bad news. The small force set up in Sixiang to collect grain and levy was swept away, and some remnants of the army fled back to Dengzhou City, but lost another five or seven hundred men and horses. Most of the enemies were cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and their scattered small troops really couldn't resist it. and Zaoyang's newspapers have long been incompatible, Zaoyang is guarded by another of his own clansmen, but it is only a team composed of more than 1,000 foot soldiers. It is estimated that there is more luck than luck.

The faces of the two of them are as ugly as a day. There was not much food in the city. Four or five thousand people also opened their mouths to eat. However, the grain of only two or three thousand stones seems to be enough to last until the end of the month.

Finally, on December 16, thousands of Guiyi troops approached the city of Dengzhou.

I wasn't quite good at riding a horse, so I sat in a small cart and pointed out with a few of my generals to see the Dengzhou form. The city was sturdy and dangerous. The city walls are thick and the moat is almost eighty meters wide, (this is nothing, the moat in Xiangyang at that time was one hundred and fifty meters wide!) It's something we can't get over.

The shelves of the 3rd Commander of the Ma Army and the 1O Commander of the Infantry Army have been erected, but those veterans under Ma Wanlong, I don't dare to add them to the army for the time being. It's just a temporary number of young people from the people. It can't be used at all, and my main force is still the original commander of the four infantry armies and the commander of the two horse armies, plus my personal army, which has been fighting for days and days, and it is also quite attritional. Now it's only seventeen or eight hundred.

After approaching Dengzhou City, we chose a high place to go down to the village, dug a ditch and set up a wall to pave the deer. Rectify a sturdy camp. and Deng Zhou confronted each other. On weekdays, I sent out cavalry to sweep around, and I had more than 700 elite cavalry, and the number of horses exceeded this number. It is so cut off from the outside of the state of transportation.

Looking at the form of Dengzhou City, Murong Fu smiled at me and said: "The art of war is surrounded by ten rules, and the general's enemies are ten times with you, but you are besieged to death, this is indeed a case through the ages." ”

I shook my head and didn't admit it: "The enemy is not ten times with me, the real enemy in my heart is only two thousand of Ma Wanlong's old subordinates, give us a thousand to eat, and now there is still a thousand left, and I will be twice as with him." Coupled with my cavalry advantage, there is a plain on the side of Dengzhou, and my advantage will be increased to five times. In addition, he didn't know my strength, but I clearly understood his qiē, so my advantage was exactly ten times. ”

Minghui had been looking at the city wall very intently, and finally sighed and said, "This city, we can't beat it." General, do you just keep confronting them? You must know that this place in Dengzhou is rushing, and if the time is delayed for a long time, the Mongolian army will come in, so I don't know what changes will happen. ”

I still shook my head at him: "I'm not very worried about this, the Mongolian army brigade is concentrating on the front line of northern and western Henan, and most of the future direction will be eastern Henan." They are talking to the Great Song Dynasty about the alliance, and they will not rashly come to the Jinghu Envoy to show off their might. We're just going to confront them, and we're afraid of them. There are still thousands of stone grain in Huzui Village, and the nearby dock wall has also been opened a lot by the Ming control system these days. ”

Murong Fu nodded on the side: "This is very true, even Zhang Yu's 9th commander has done a good job in Yuzhong recently, opening a lot of dock walls, the traffic between Tiger Qi and Huzui Village is very stable, and the day before yesterday, he also sent 300 stone of grain." ”

When it comes to Zhang Yao, I am a little silent. His 9th Command Freedom Exhibition was really good, but it was always a little reassuring to him. Murong Fu's military advisory office was extraordinarily polite to Zhang Yao, and several times I felt that the troops were insufficient, and I wanted to transfer Zhang Yao over for reinforcements. However, the Military Advisory Office refused to sign my military order. I considered that what they said also made sense, so I didn't push it hard. But I always feel that it tastes bad.

Seeing that I fell silent for a while, everyone stopped talking. I thought I was going to make a decision. In my army, my reputation for victory in a hundred battles has long been spread to the gods. Even Minghui privately admitted: "We, the general, anticipate the enemy very accurately, and before every battle, we must do everything possible to weaken the strength and confidence of the enemy, and strive to fight the enemy under the most superior conditions, and we must be willing to take the lead in every battle, and the famous generals of the ancient times are just like that." "The petty officers below are even more desperate, there is such a general who is willing to share weal and woe with them, and takes the lead in every battle, and always wins battles, and the treatment is not bad, isn't this desperate? Unconsciously, the Guiyi Army has gradually become a solid whole.

At this point, I don't know how much effort I put in, and I put all my energy into it before every battle. The troops are not strong, and the most important thing in every battle is to suppress people with momentum and do everything possible to weaken the enemy's forces first. create a strategic situation in our favor. And every battle is to fight with your own life, and it is really not easy to go all the way.

Looking at the tall, dark gray walls, the wind passed me. I got up from the car. I looked around at my men in awe. Finally, I said lightly: "Dengzhou, you must go." But not in sight. ”
