Chapter 214: Ambush and Counter-Killing
Although Ye Cheng said that the troops were not enough, it was the only city among the nearby cities that was more suitable for storing military rations.
Jiang Yiling acted like this on the surface, but in private, he directly contacted his own forces in Kyoto in an attempt to level the black chain entirely.
Now it's a matter of life and death, and it's too much for these people to want to get some benefits from the front.
Yelushan had already ambushed many spies in Kyoto, and the news he got was the same.
Jiang Yiling has recently destroyed several underground shops, and such a move is absolutely impossible to hide.
So Yelu Shan didn't waste much time, and directly rushed to this Yecheng with his team
Jiang Yiling's thoughts are not here.
He has also studied the other side here, although he will not take advantage of the coach's rashness as before and successfully obtain so much benefit, but he has not made Yelushan feel better these days.
Under the absolute disparity in personnel, it was a great thing to not let the other party succeed in destroying himself, not to mention that he did not suffer a big loss.
It is true that his side has suffered a lot of losses in dealing with the crazy attack in the north during this time, but the price paid by the other side is also big enough, and the people they die are no better than themselves, and they even pay the price of more heads.
But the biggest advantage of the opposite side is that there are many people.
Jiang Yiling thought about it and decided that he had to find a breakthrough.
Although there were many people on the side of Jerod, the forces scattered to each city were different. After all, Yelushan is not that experienced in defense. This practice of not putting all your eggs in one basket is indeed very good for large-scale deployment of troops, but on defense, it is a taboo for soldiers.
So Jiang Yiling's side also gathered a lot of troops and rushed directly towards the enemy's weakest Yangcheng.
In fact, what made Jiang Yiling even happier was that the grain and grass storage in Yangcheng made him even more satisfied. Sure enough, Yelu Mountain can be regarded as a strong soldier, and it has everything in terms of strategic materials.
Sure enough, the best strategy is to fight and fight.
"General, Yangcheng's troop deployment is relatively lazy, but there are a lot of personnel. I'm afraid that a strong assault may not be a good plan. ”
Jiang Yiling could only sigh in the face of the doubts of his military advisors.
"Among the several nearby cities, the weakest is Yuecheng, but Yuecheng is in the enemy's hinterland, and it is impossible for us to run long distances, otherwise it is easy to be directly surrounded by people, and then the enemy will be attacked on the back, which is not a good thing. Yangcheng is our only choice. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to consume a large number of enemy troops, I am afraid that it will be a big problem at that time. ”
Jiang Yiling didn't hide his thoughts at all.
Yesterday, he accidentally asked his subordinates about Zhang Youtao for a while, and it was really a miscalculation to make these people look at him differently.
"If this were a change, this group of people would never have such doubts." Jiang Yiling tapped his forehead with his hand, his heart full of helplessness.
Regarding the fact that their general is in love with a woman, this group of people is quite curious, after all, which woman can have such strength, and she can actually let Jiang Yiling analyze in such a heavy war, it seems that this woman is really powerful.
However, after hearing from the military advisor, Jiang Yiling didn't seem to miss any royal family or a daughter, but just an ordinary woman, and it didn't seem to be an anecdote either.
"Naturally, how the general commands us is how to do it, it's just that we move like this Qing Dynasty is not a good thing for the rear. Especially recently, a large amount of grain and grass has been transported to Yecheng, in case the enemy takes advantage of the opportunity, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses at that time. ”
Of course, you don't put the most important supplies in front of a group of rats, especially if it is the food and grass that determines your own life and death.
The consumption of grain and grass in these ordinary wars has reached a great level, and no one can bear to steal the little grain and grass left.
If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers from afar were really tight, they wouldn't have sent the grain and grass to the nearest city, Yecheng, how could they have sent it to a farther place.
"If we can win this time, it will definitely be a step to turn the tide of the game, and we have to gamble."
Jiang Yiling was also ruthless at the moment, obviously unwilling to sit and wait for death like this.
A few days ago, he had already sent several letters to the imperial court to his father and emperor from eight hundred miles of urgency, but the result was always waiting for good news.
Reinforcements are on the way, but when will they come?
Jiang Yiling also didn't have much confidence in the situation of his family's army.
But in the face of his own army, as the commander-in-chief, he can't take the initiative to shake the morale of the army.
"A few days ago, I also wrote to my father, and my father also promised that we would transfer all the 100,000 troops near Wuyang Pass in less than 10 days. You know that the main reason why our country cannot transfer troops is because of the lack of grain and grass, so my father directly sent the eldest prince to personally escort the grain and grass, and at that time, as long as we can cooperate, we may not lose to Yelu Mountain. ”
Jiang Yiling gave this conclusion and quickly began to mobilize the army in his hand.
Yangcheng is a city built on the mountain, and in terms of several cities at the border, Yangcheng has no characteristics.
It can be said that as a castle for garrison, it is enough. But if it is used to store large quantities of military supplies, this garrison will not be enough.
The so-called soldiers of the enemy were also very surprised by Jiang Yiling's arrival. You must know that the generalissimo has taken the vast majority of the squadron to the opponent's grain and grass base, but you don't choose to defend on the other side, but attack yourself, who would have thought of this!
Jiang Yiling's side has always been passively beaten, and he has never thought of attacking, of course, he is also afraid that once the army is mobilized, it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. Flying
But now that he has made up his mind, of course he will not hesitate any longer. The thunderous situation, with a black cloud-like army full of cities, directly swept the entire Yangcheng.
The military flag on Jiang Yiling's side waved in the air, like a walking dragon.
The desperate resistance of the sergeants in Yangcheng did not have much effect.
They are not Yelu Mountain's descendant troops at all, with these ordinary military forces, how can they fight with the henchmen led by Jiang Yiling?
Almost as if it were devastated, the defenders of Yangcheng were quickly defeated.
"The other side is just here to grab grain and grass, let's just burn the grain, can't we?"
On the other side, there is a clear person who comes up with an idea that loses both sides.
"There is a lack of food on the other side, is it easy for us to transport food?" Yangcheng's garrison felt distressed for a while.
You know, they are not as rich as the rich Jiangnan water town opposite, which can continue to produce all kinds of food every year. Most of the terrain in their land is grasslands and deserts, and there are even fewer places where rice can be grown. This is also the main reason why they are attacking the opposite country.
To accumulate so much food, they took it from nearby countries and some scattered forces. It is much more difficult for them to transfer food than it is on the other side.
They were not a city where they mainly stored grain, and there was no need to burn the military rations, because it would not take long for the grain to reach the other side. If it is burned, I am afraid that it will be pointed out by thousands of people at that time.
On the contrary, if this grain is kept, then the owner of the family will lead his own people to counterattack, and he will be able to take over this batch of grain again.
In the final analysis, these military rations are not enough for the army to last for three and five years, and it will have little impact on the entire war situation, so there is no need for them to be so desperate.
So, Yangcheng's guards and his subordinates organized a counterattack and took the opportunity to escape.
"Don't chase after the poor." Jiang Yiling looked at the excited soldiers under his command and hurriedly stopped them.
What they need to do at the moment should be the military supplies in the city, and the most important thing is to transport the grain and grass back.
They don't have much time to stay here, and the two armies are not fighting for a moment.
Grab it and leave, which is in their absolute interest.
Even if this group of people sent the news of their attack on the city, according to the progress of Yelu Mountain, as long as they were fast enough, the other side would have no chance to intercept them on the road.
Jiang Yiling counted the military rations in the entire city, and he returned with a full load. Relying on these grains can be regarded as being able to support one more month.
Jiang Yiling had just arranged for someone to start transporting military rations, when he saw a bloodied man crawling over.
The man had come on a horse, but when he came to him, he fell off his horse.
If it weren't for the clothes of his own army, he would have thought he would be an Assassin.
But who could such a person with such a serious injury be?
Jiang Yiling suddenly chuckled in his heart and realized that it was not good.
There was no resistance from his side at all, and it seemed that the opposite side had definitely not arranged a defense.
It's still possible if it were someone else, but on the other side was the old fox Yelushan.
After fighting for so long, he didn't see any news of the nearby city dispatching troops, so it seems that he must have made a big move.
Combined with his own soldiers, Jiang Yiling had a very bad idea in his mind.
Yelushan, you didn't want to give up this city and didn't come to support at all, but he didn't have time to support at all.
The main reason for this is nothing more than one point, Jerodshan
He must have chosen a city on his side to attack.
And the only one who can be his target is definitely Ye Cheng.
"Yecheng, Yecheng is already about to be captured." The soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, shouted such a clueless sentence, and passed out in an instant.
Jiang Yiling was almost so angry that he was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't hold it on his face.
Before leaving, he had already arranged everything, and almost all the remaining troops had been left behind in Yecheng, in order to be able to protect his own military rations.
He thought that although these troops were not the troops on the police side, they were more than enough to protect them. Even if you are harassed, you will be able to hold out until you go back.
But why is this the case?
He went out to rob here, but his hometown was taken by others, which is the worst news.
