Text Chapter 272 Take Jiangcheng
The 200,000 troops of the Moyun army fought against the 400,000 Ruifeng army, not only fearless, but the more they fought, the more courageous they became, killing the Ruifeng army to the ground, with countless casualties, but the city wall of Jiangcheng was too tall and firm to break through head-on, so they had to fight around the Ruifeng army. However, Wang Botao's abacus was very fine, and between the wave of the battle flag, a Ruifeng army suddenly retreated without a fight, but the direction of their retreat was the west side outside the city.
Yun Yuhong frowned, seeing that the eldest prince was about to chase after Mo Yunjun, and the location on the west side was not far from a big mountain, the mountain was not high but the vegetation was lush, and the scenery was good from a distance.
Yun Yuhong shouted loudly in a flash: "Brother Emperor, come back, don't chase after you!" After saying that, he took the horse's head and went to chase after him.
The eldest prince was in the middle of the killing, and when he saw that the enemy wanted to run, he could let go, but he just ran out a few steps before he heard Yun Yuhong order him to go back, and he was very reluctant in his heart, but fortunately, he had always been very in awe of Yun Yuhong, and he didn't dare not listen to Yun Yuhong's words, so he had to stop, but looking at Wang Botao and others in the distance, he was still so angry that his face was red, and his eyes looking at Yun Yuhong were full of anger.
Yun Yuhong rushed to see that the eldest emperor's brother didn't chase anymore and finally fell to the ground, looking at his eyes full of anger, he frowned, and scolded: "Stupid, haven't you heard of poor Kou Mo Chai, where have you learned the art of war?" What are you doing in a daze, don't you see that this is a battlefield, and there are still many enemies? ”
The eldest prince reacted, roared and rushed back to fight. Yun Yuhong looked in the direction of the west, and saw that the soldiers and horses led by Wang Botao saw that no one was chasing them, but the speed slowed down, and he had a plan in his heart, so he immediately stood in place but did not move.
Wang Botao scolded in his heart, what a ghost king, he is really cunning as a fox, his plan has been half successful but was mixed up by her, the prince she couldn't grasp it tightly, the eldest prince was finally fooled but was stopped by her, he spent so much effort, sacrificed the lives of so many soldiers but couldn't get anything, this has to make him go back and explain to the monarch. It's just that if you want to take the soldiers and kill them back, Yun Yuhong is waiting for them in front, going back is undoubtedly going to die, how can he do it!
Wang Botao was in a dilemma, but fortunately, after a while, God helped him make a choice. There were bursts of shouting and killing in Jiangcheng, obviously, the back of Jiangcheng had been broken by the stingy ghost and the army led by Jiang Houye, and was fighting with the soldiers defending the city in the city.
The gong sounded the gong to collect the troops, and the Ruifeng soldiers on the battlefield turned around and retreated, following Wang Botao all the way. The Moyun soldiers pursued him, but as long as they reached Yun Yuhong, they were all stopped. Yun Yuhong drew a line on the ground, as long as the Ruifeng soldiers escaped this line, they would no longer pursue, and none of the Moyun soldiers could cross this line, but many Ruifeng soldiers were able to escape.
The battle here was almost over, the city gate opened from the inside with a bang, and the stingy man took the lead and rushed out with his soldiers and horses. It's just that when he saw that the war here had come to an end, his heart was choked, they had the fastest speed to conquer Jiangcheng, and it was not yet three hours, how could it be over so quickly, he wanted to open the city gate and make a great achievement, but now it seems that whether the city gate is open or not is of little significance.
Coming to Yun Yuhong's side, the stingy ghost asked, "Master, has Wang Botao been caught?" ”
Yun Yuhong hadn't answered yet, and the eldest prince complained on the side: "No, I ran away with someone, in fact, I was only a little bit close to catching him, but the imperial sister didn't let me chase him." ”
The stingy ghost was stunned for a moment and smiled: "If the master doesn't let you chase you, you can't chase, it's always good to listen to the master." If you run away, you can't defend yourself, and there will be a time to meet again in the future. ”
appeased the dissatisfied prince, and the stingy ghost said to Yun Yuhong: "Master, our army has taken Jiangcheng, please bring troops into the city." ”
Yun Yuhong nodded, and led the troops to run towards Jiangcheng first, and the whole team of Mo Yunjun set off and entered Jiangcheng in a mighty way.
Not long after entering the city, Bai Ziyu and others were also taken in, but they saw the eldest prince sitting on the steps of the door outside the mansion. After looking at the sulky prince, Bai Ziyu said: "Brother the eldest emperor, who is this who makes you angry, and you are not happy to win the battle!" ”
The eldest prince saw that it was Bai Ziyu and seemed to have seen him, if there was someone here who could say that the eldest sister was not, it was none other than the brother-in-law, so he told Bai Ziyu what had happened.
Bai Ziyu looked at the eldest prince and asked solemnly, "Do you still think you are right?" Let me ask you, if Wang Botao wants to break through and escape, why doesn't he break through from the rear, although he also has to face the encirclement of 200,000 troops, but between the ghost king and Jiang Houye, a little bit of brain will choose the direction of Jiang Houye, besides, behind the army led by Jiang Houye is still the territory of Ruifeng Country, and he can still get a response to break through there, why do you want to fight from the main gate to face the most difficult ghost king? ”
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, yes, if he wanted to break through, he would never take the path of the eldest imperial sister, he would rather deal with three Jiang Hou Ye than fight against a ghost king. That Wang Botao must have a plan for doing this, what is he trying to do, it won't be him and the prince!
The eldest prince who wants to understand is clever, he is so unfooled, if he chases down, he may encounter ambushes or other dangers, and as long as Wang Botao takes him or the prince, this battle can be won without a fight. It was he who blamed the eldest imperial sister, the eldest prince's face turned red all of a sudden, and he pulled Bai Ziyu and said, "Brother-in-law, I... I misunderstood the eldest sister, she must be angry, you have to intercede with me in a while! ”
Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "You have little experience in fighting, listen to your imperial sister, go and apologize to your imperial sister in a while, she won't bother with you." ”
The eldest prince pouted, the eldest sister is not a generous person, maybe she will have to take this out for another month, and his hard life will start again.
When he arrived in the hall, Yun Yuhong glared at the eldest prince but didn't say anything about him, but said to Bai Ziyu: "Yulang, you help me arrange the finishing things, I want to lead the troops to take down the Guicheng in front, Guicheng has few soldiers but the city wall is stronger than here, and it is a transportation point, I want to take it before Wang Botao arrives." ”
Bai Ziyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave it here." ”
Yun Yuhong nodded and said to the eldest prince: "You and the crown prince will stay with 100,000 horses to obey your brother-in-law's orders, and if there is any more problems, wait for me to come back and repair you." ”
The eldest prince shrank his neck in fright, and swallowed the matter of wanting to go out with the army back into his stomach. After Yun Yuhong walked out, she asked Bai Ziyu: "Why is the eldest sister in such a hurry to attack the city, how did she know that Wang Botao would go to Guicheng?" ”
Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "Three more cities will be Ruifeng's capital Xiangcheng, Wang Botao's plan has not succeeded, no matter what, he will want to stop us in Guicheng in front." Guicheng is a traffic artery, and the city wall is strong, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. And you can go to see the city wall of Jiangcheng, in addition to the front is still like a look, there is no danger to defend in the back, once Ruifeng organizes the army to counterattack, we can't resist it, so your imperial sister has to take Guicheng first. ”
The eldest prince nodded again and again, but felt that something was wrong, and asked: "No, how does the eldest imperial sister know which city is strong and which city is easy to attack?" ”
Bai Ziyu smiled faintly and said: "Ruifeng is proud of his cleverness, and he has planted secret agents in Moyun, and your eldest sister has learned from them, and has also installed some people in Ruifeng, and has described all the cities of Ruifeng." ”
The eldest prince admired in his heart, the eldest sister is amazing. Bai Ziyu patted the eldest prince on the shoulder and said: "Don't be stunned, I'll arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield and settle the wounded soldiers, you go to organize the defense, and keep the grain and grass, the speed must be fast, your eldest sister may send a letter to let us go early tomorrow morning, and everything must be done today." ”
Tomorrow? The eldest prince looked at the back of Bai Ziyu leaving, and sighed in his heart, the eldest emperor sister is powerful, but the brother-in-law is not bad, and he is definitely worthy of being a general, but he can't practice martial arts, it's a pity.
Yun Yuhong came out and found the stingy ghost and Jiang Houye, asked them to order 200,000 horses, and then brought some Ruifeng troops and went out of the city directly.
The time was already in the evening, but Yun Yuhong took the people and horses without stopping for a moment, and finally came to the city of Guicheng on the second watch. Hiding the army, Yun Yuhong asked the stingy ghost to lead people to escort a total of 1,000 people to the city of Guicheng.
The soldiers of the city spotted them and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you and whose team are you?" ”
The stingy ghost replied: "We are the subordinates of General Wang Botao, the ghost king has broken through Jiangcheng, and we have escaped from defeat." ”
The soldier above shouted, "Wait a minute, don't go any further." Which lieutenant general are you, report your name. ”
The stingy ghost was stunned, why did they still ask the name of the lieutenant general, how could he know. Kicking the Ruifeng troops below, the soldier said: "We are Wu Jingwu's subordinates, my name is Li Fang, his name is Hu Dachang, you can find it on page 258 of the military book." ”
The soldiers on the city tower didn't speak again, obviously they went to report, the stingy ghost secretly said that it was so dangerous, how could this Ruifeng soldier check so strictly, and almost missed the horse's feet.
In fact, it is not surprising to say this, Yun Yuhong used the same trick to deceive the gate of Qincheng guarded by Jiang Ruiying, which also directly led to the defeat of Jiang Ruiying's army, and also became the beginning of Yuxue's demise. Therefore, in order to avoid encountering similar things when fighting with the Ghost King Army, various countries have also developed a lot of methods, such as Ruifeng, you need to report the name of the deputy general and your own name, as well as the number of pages in the military book, and you can only enter the city if you are right. It's just that it is obvious that their countermeasures have omitted to surrender troops, so it is still useless.
