Chapter 937: Capture Jinzhou City
Wang Wu and the main army under his command, after a round of attack, stopped the action, which made the soldiers under the command of Yao Xiang who defended Nanguan City feel a little surprised, they did not expect that after the first round of attack of Wang Wu's army was repulsed, it did not organize the second round of attack for so long.
However, the soldiers under Yao Xiang did not dare to relax their vigilance, because the main army under Wang Wu was not far from the city, and there was a possibility of launching an attack at any time, and once they relaxed their vigilance, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"General, after the first round of the enemy's attack was repelled by our army, the second round of attack was never organized, so it seems that the first round of our army's counterattack scared the enemy and made them dare not attack our army again!" A subordinate general looked at Yao Xiang and said loudly.
Yao Xiang shook his head, and said: "Don't be careless, if the enemy army doesn't plan to launch a second round of attack, it should have been evacuated a long time ago, and now, the enemy's main force is not far ahead, which is enough to show that the enemy army will not give up attacking Nanguan City, but they need to prepare for some more time." ”
Obviously, Yao Xiang felt that Wang Wu's army would not give up attacking Nanguan City because of a failure in an attack, after all, the capture of Nanguan City was the only way for Wang Wu's army to enter the hinterland of Liaodong, and Wang Wu's army would not give up.
"General, if it's getting late today, do you think the enemy will attack at night?" A subordinate general looked at Yao Xiang and asked loudly.
Yao Xiang thought for a moment and said softly: "With the intuition of this general, the possibility of the enemy launching a second round of attack tonight is very high, so all generals must be vigilant and ready to meet the battle at any time." ”
"Yes, General, we will be fully prepared." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.
Yao Xiang nodded with satisfaction. And looked up in the direction of the camp of the Wang Wu Legion, at this time, the camp of the Wang Wu Army was full of lit torches, and there were many soldiers in the camp who were busy nervously, obviously. They were rushing to build heavy siege equipment.
"Generals, the enemy army is actively preparing for battle, and the possibility of launching an attack tonight is extremely great, and the order is given, all officers and soldiers are not allowed to remove their armor, and the soldiers in charge of vigilance must be fully prepared to double their deployment." Yao Xiang looked at the generals and said loudly.
"Yes. Checkmate. The generals commanded in a loud voice.
Subsequently, according to the situation of attacking and defending the city at night, Yao Xiang formulated various effective measures to ensure that when Wang Wu's army launched an attack, Wang Wu's army could be severely defeated and the safety of Nanguan City could be guaranteed.
Just when Yao Xiang's army was preparing for war and preparing to resist Wang Wu's army attacking Nanguan City, Li Ben and Li Long's soldiers and horses. He had arrived at the Mayoujin ferry and passed Wang Wu's order to the officers and men of the navy.
10,000 sailors. Since they had been ordered to support Wang Wu's army, they naturally had to obey Wang Wu's orders, so they immediately carried the soldiers and horses under the command of Li Ben and Li Long, and the soldiers were divided into two routes. By the light of night, he plunged into the back of the enemy.
Because, the previous dispatch of the fine work has long been clear about the waterways in Liaodong, for this reason, the two routes of the navy army very smoothly through the dangerous waters of the reef. And arrived at the predetermined location as quickly as possible.
Li Ben's army on the left flank, after arriving at the designated position, immediately landed on the shore, but due to the lack of soldiers and horses under his command, Li Ben started the idea of escorting the 5,000 sailors.
Li Ben looked at the generals of the navy and said loudly: "I heard that the soldiers of the navy are good at water warfare, but I don't know if they can fight on land?" In his expression, he was quite contemptuous of the water army.
Seeing this, the generals of the navy were naturally dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Although the officers and men of our navy are good at water warfare, they are also good at land warfare, and there is no problem in attacking the city and the pond. After speaking, he looked at Li Ben.
Li Ben was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Okay, since your navy is so powerful, it is better to act with our army and kill Jinzhou City, I believe that with the help of your navy soldiers and soldiers, it will be easier to break through Jinzhou City." ”
"Okay, our sailors are willing to fight." The general of the navy said loudly.
Seeing that the officers and men of the navy were willing to help him, Li Ben was very happy, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, the officers and men of the navy will attack together with our army, and our army will definitely win this battle." ”
"Roar, roar, roar, ......roar," the soldiers under Li Ben's command roared excitedly.
At this time, it was already early in the morning, at most half an hour, the sky was about to dawn, and the distance between the beach and Jinzhou City happened to be within half an hour, that is to say, Li Ben and his soldiers and horses could arrive at Jinzhou City at the earliest when the sky was just dawning, so as to immediately attack Jinzhou City and capture Jinzhou City.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses under his command were ready, Li Ben ordered loudly: "Soldiers, set off immediately and rush to Jinzhou City at full speed." ”
Under Li Ben's order, the 5,000 army under his command set out from the coast together with the 5,000 naval army and marched in the direction of Jinzhou City at the fastest speed.
Similar to the situation of Li Ben's army, Li Long's army also arrived at the designated position at almost the same time, and quickly killed in the direction of Jinzhou City.
Li Ben's army and Li Long's army were killing in the direction of Jinzhou City, but at this time, there were only less than 2,000 defenders in the direction of Jinzhou City, and most of the original 20,000 troops naturally reinforced Nanguan City and the passes on the left and right sides, and because they did not expect that Li Ben's army and Li Long's army would raid Jinzhou City in advance, for this reason, the city was not tightly fortified, but only symbolically deployed some soldiers and horses on the city wall.
It didn't take long for Li Ben's army to arrive at the city of Jinzhou first, and at this time the sky was just dawning, which was the time when the defenders were most lax, and it was the perfect time to launch a surprise attack.
However, with the faint light, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State guarding the city still discovered them, but they did not know that the soldiers and horses that were rushing were Li Ben's army, but took it for granted that they were the soldiers and horses who reinforced Nanguan City and had returned, so the soldiers who defended the city couldn't wait to order the city gate to be opened to welcome the army into the city.
"......Click, click
Li Ben, who was about to lead his army and storm Jinzhou City, was shocked when he saw this situation, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
"General, why did the enemy open the city gates, is it to surrender to our army?" One of the generals said loudly.
Li Ben thought for a moment, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The sky is not yet bright, the enemy army regards our army as their own, this is a good opportunity, our army can rush directly into the city from the city gate, remember, after entering the city, immediately divide the troops and attack, and control all the four city gates." ”
"Yes, General." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.
Under Li Ben's order, the army under his command immediately increased its speed and rushed towards the gate of Jinzhou City.
As they got closer and closer to the gate of Golden State City, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who were defending Golden State City noticed the anomaly and immediately raised the alarm.
"It's the enemy army, it's the enemy army who is coming, close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly." The generals in charge of defending the city of Golden State were taken aback and immediately ordered the gates to be closed.
But the heavy city gate cannot be closed in a short time, and as soon as the city gate is halfway closed, Li Ben and his army rushed into the city gate and pushed the gate that was about to close again.
Seeing that the army under his command had successfully controlled the city gate, Li Ben was greatly excited, and immediately shouted: "Soldiers, rush! Kill into Golden State City, kill into Golden State City. ”
"Kill ......" The soldiers under Li Ben's command roared and rushed towards the gate of Jinzhou City.
The city gate has been controlled by the enemy, and the enemy's soldiers and horses are very numerous, in this case, the city is naturally unable to hold, for this reason, the defenders of the Yan State chose to retreat very wisely, in order to avoid the end of being annihilated by the whole army.
However, before retreating, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State lit a beacon fire on the city gate tower to inform the army in front of them that the city of Jinzhou had been lost.
"General, Jinzhou City has been taken by our army." A general rushed into the city and said excitedly.
Li Ben nodded with satisfaction, and said with a straight face: "Jinzhou City has been taken by our army, so our army will be completely in the active position, if the defenders of Nanguan City know that Jinzhou City has been lost, they will be frightened, hahaha!" He laughed.
"General, the defenders of the Yan Kingdom have retreated, but before retreating, they lit a beacon fire." One of the generals pointed to the smoke rising from the city walls and said loudly.
Li Ben looked in the direction of the beacon fire, and said: "What about lighting the beacon fire, now, Jinzhou City has been taken by our army, even if the main force of the enemy army kills, the general is not afraid." After speaking, he confidently looked at the generals beside him.
It didn't take long for Li Long and his five thousand soldiers and horses to also reach the foot of Jinzhou City, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived in Jinzhou City, they saw the banner of Li Ben's army fluttering on the city wall.
"General, our army has not had the slightest delay along the way, why is it so much slower than them." A subordinate general looked at Li Long very puzzled.
Li Long frowned helplessly, and said: "No matter what, Jinzhou City has been broken by our army, although the credit is theirs, but we also have a bright face!" ”
"General, since they have broken through Jinzhou City, our army must also make meritorious contributions." The general said stubbornly.
Li Long looked at his generals and said softly, "Then how do you think our army should act?" ”
General Zhengse said: "Our army can immediately march in the direction of Bihaiguan, and join forces with the soldiers and horses under General Lehong to attack Bihaiguan, if we can break through Bihaiguan in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a great merit for our army?" ”
Li Long nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, send an order to the whole army and march in the direction of Bihaiguan." (To be continued......)
