Chapter 173: Skillfully Capturing Nanpi
On the eighth day of the ninth month of the fifth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, after a day of rest in Cangzhou, Zhu Youcheng got up from the camp and went straight to Nanpi. Although it is said that rescuing soldiers is like fighting fires, in the battle outside Cangzhou City for half a day, the soldiers and war horses were exhausted, and even if they rushed to Nanpi County, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Anyway, Nanpi County has already fallen, and it doesn't matter much if it's one day earlier or one day late.
Because the south of Cangzhou has fallen into the hands of the bandits, looking at the dilapidated village, along the way, all the brocade guards did not speak, just silently hurried. Of course, the remnants of the bandits, who were plundering frantically because of the defeat, encountered this angry force and did not even have a chance to surrender.
Cangzhou is about seventy miles away from Nanpi, which is less than a day's journey. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Jinyiwei had already traveled to the territory of Nanpi County, which was still ten miles away from the county seat.
The scouts reported: "The gate of Nanpi County is closed, and there are few defenders in the city. ”
Zhu Youcheng's heart moved, could it be that he hadn't arrived in Nanpi yet, and the bandits in Nanpi County didn't know about his defeat in Cangzhou?
The infantry march is about sixty miles a day, and the cavalry is eighty miles, the two are almost the same, not touching the mud is defeated, and the escape is faster, it stands to reason that it should have arrived at Nanpi earlier, why didn't the Nanpi defenders take precautions? There are two possibilities: the first possibility is that he did not come to Nanpi without mud, and the defenders of Nanpi did not know the news of his defeat, so they did not beware of the army in the direction of Cangzhou. The second possibility is that Nanpi came without mud, but Nanpi has not enough defenders, and this is the most likely. Because not getting muddy is a rogue who doesn't pay attention to the rear, he comes and goes. As long as the main force is defeated, the rogue is basically over. For example, in history, Li Zicheng rebelled, and the momentum was so great that even the city of Beijing was occupied, and there was a stone war. The main force was damaged, and it quickly embarked on the road to defeat.
Wu Huping stepped forward and said, "My lord, the last general can take Nanpi City lightly." ”
"Tell me about it."
"Whether the thief chiefs came to Nanpi County or didn't come to Nanpi County, they didn't know that the team that attacked the camp had been wiped out. Yesterday afternoon. This has been confirmed by the fact that the last general sent someone to count the corpses and prisoners, and interrogated Kusakami Fei overnight. We can deceive Nanpi City by flying on the grass. ”
Zhu Youcheng's heart moved, and he guessed Wu Huping's plan, but he still said encouragingly: "Tell me about your plan in detail." ”
"My lord, we can send five hundred to a thousand men, disguised as non-muddy men, with human heads tied around their waists, and pretend that they have broken through the camp. Now the main force is defeated, so it retreats to Nanpi City. The defenders of Nanpi City will definitely let us in. After we entered, we quickly controlled the city gate and suppressed the defenders in the city with firepower, and the cavalry behind quickly followed and rushed into Nanpi City. Nanpi is at your fingertips. ”
Zhu Youcheng nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, there are a lot of heads cut off along the way, and there are also clothes." Do a full set of plays. Didn't you say that the camp was breached? There are five hundred horses in the camp, so I will give you five hundred. But though with a horse. But you can't ride. Because you are bandits, although you can grab the war horse, it is a pity that you can't ride. ”
Because it was Wu Huping's plan, the lord of the deception city this time would be him, and the people and horses would naturally be selected from his thousands of households. Chen Guoqi's face was not very good-looking, but he had nothing to say.
Zhu Youcheng did not comfort Chen Guoqi. In the future, Xizhen Fusi's troops will be all-firearms troops, and the intelligence of the main general is far more important than force, and I believe that after this setback, Chen Guoqi will grow up.
Wu Huping took five hundred men and horses and disguised himself as bandits. led the horse to the city of Nanpi.
The defenders of Nanpi City saw the bandits leading the horses from a distance, and wondered in their hearts, when would the bandits be wide enough to have horses? It won't be the official army, but looking at their clothes, they are all kinds of bandits.
The defenders of Nanpi released an arrow, yes, only one arrow. The archer is not so easy to practice, there is a bandit from Orion on the city wall, this arrow is what he shot, and it was shot three steps in front of Wu Huping. If someone else shoots, it will either shoot too far or hit someone, and it will not serve as a warning.
The people on the city wall shouted: "Stop, who is it?" ”
Wu Huping replied: "I am the Baisheng General Xiashan Tiger, one of the two generals under the Grass Flying Command, who is not the mud king. ”
Thanks to Wu Huping's regular exercise, he has a large lung capacity. When ordinary people talk about this, they can't catch it in one breath, and they basically faint.
Whether there are two generals under the grass flying on the grass, God knows. Wu Huping is bullying the defenders of the city and doesn't know anyone. There is no way, this is the evil result of the rapid expansion of the team. Bu mud in Cangzhou hurriedly started an incident, the bandits swelled to more than 50,000 people, except for a few old team brought from Shaanxi who were known to the bandits, other middle and low-level generals, basically no one knew. Replaced by Zhu Youcheng's team, if someone dares to pretend to be a soldier of the Xizhen Fusi, it will be a miserable end.
"Descending tiger, look up for a long time. May I ask you guys who don't work under the grass flying, what are you doing in our Nanpi City? ”
The bandits generally do not say their real names and surnames, and all they report are false names, otherwise they will be heard by people with good intentions, and their families will be in trouble according to the map. The defenders on the city wall understood in their hearts and politely said a few words.
Wu Huping was secretly funny, what did this freshly baked nickname have been admired for a long time.
He feigned surprise and asked, "Cangzhou was defeated, don't you know?" ”
"What, the King of Non-Muddy is defeated, it's impossible."
"Boy, don't come to Nanpi to confuse the army. The king of the mud is invincible, how can he fail? ”
There was a lot of noise on the city walls.
Suddenly, a general-looking man waved his hand to stop the soldier's words and asked loudly: "Xiashan Tiger, speak more clearly." If there is a half-word lie, don't blame me for being ruthless with a gust of wind. ”
"Brother Gust of Wind, you don't know anything. In the past half a month, we besieged Cangzhou City, a qiēshun lì, and it seemed that we were about to attack the city, who knew that yesterday morning, Cangzhou City came to a support army, and the end of the stakes, muskets, and cannons, actually beat the king's troops to pieces, and fled in a hurry. ”
There is a discrepancy between what Wu Huping said and the facts, there is no way, if these turtles who have never seen the world tell them the truth, saying that 1,500 people used new firearms to beat the mud to the ground, and the wolves fled, they would not believe it. In order to win their trust, Wu Huping deliberately did not say how many people the enemy came, and added artillery. In this way, for this group of turtles, the credibility is much higher.
Sure enough, there were people on the city wall who didn't believe it and shouted: "What is artillery, and the king who doesn't get mud will be afraid of that thing?" ”
A voice said: "Artillery is not a thing, it is a terrible weapon. If it was the musket that defeated the Mud King, I don't believe it, and with the artillery, this is very likely. I have been a border soldier and have seen the power of artillery, and a cannon is a blood ditch. Not to mention being hit head-on by artillery, even if it is rubbed, it is either dead or injured, which is more powerful than Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick. There is a saying in the border army that the gods are afraid of a smoke, and they are talking about artillery. ”
A gust of wind listened to this man's words, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then how did you escape and bring back so many horses, did you surrender?" ”
"Where. The Unstained King was far-sighted, saying that muskets and artillery needed logistics, and that the enemy's ranks could not see supply wagons, so the camp of this team must be not far away. General Kusakami took the lead and led 10,000 of us to attack the camp, and the result was a great victory. Lo and behold, this is the head of the camp defenders. As he spoke, Wu Huping untied the head on his waist and waved it to the city wall, and the five hundred people behind him also untied their heads and showed them to the people on the city wall.
The people on the city wall were amazed, usually they kill the common people and kill the heads of the people, kill the officials and soldiers, don't be kidding, if they are not killed, they will burn high incense. The brothers in front of them really have two brushes.
Wu Huping continued: "We killed all the people in the camp, robbed their horses, lit gunpowder, and blew up the camp. When I returned to the battlefield, I saw that the brothers were scattered and fleeing. Seeing that the general situation was gone, General Kusakami led us to flee for our lives. The officers and soldiers pursued after them, and in the end, more than 500 of us escaped, including General Grass Shangfei...... Alas! ”
Wu Huping ended his narrative with a long sigh.
The defenders on the city wall were also embarrassed.
The city gate slowly opened, and Wu Huping led five hundred people into the city. A gust of wind saw the things Wu Huping was carrying on his back, and he was puzzled and asked, "What are you carrying on your back?" ”
Wu Huping took off the firecracker and said, "This is the firearm captured from the camp, and it is said to be the latest style. ”
As he spoke, he removed the firebolt, opened the back cover, filled it with a bullet, and aimed it at a gust of wind.
A gust of wind is not a turtle, and I have also seen a fire gun, and I know that if you want to release a gun, you must have a fire rope, and without a fire rope, the fire gun is just a decoration. He saw that Wu Huping didn't have a fire rope, thinking that this fire gun couldn't be released, but he was unhappy in his heart, and said angrily: "Xiashan Tiger, the weapon should be aimed at the enemy, you ......"
Wu Huping didn't answer, and it was the fire gun that answered a gust of wind.
With a "bang", a gust of wind clutched his chest and fell.
This is the command. The soldiers behind Wu Huping all raised their guns and aimed them at the enemy on the city wall.
After a bang, there was no longer a standing enemy on the city wall.
Zhu Youcheng saw that Wu Huping had succeeded, and with an order, the whole army rushed into Nanpi, and Nanpi City was recovered. (To be continued!)
