Chapter 235: The Counterattack Has Just Begun (2)
Jinling, Jinling controlled by the Northern Tang people.
Inside the Nanwu Imperial Palace, a big thing happened.
About a certain little person that Li Zenan did not put in his eyes.
His Majesty of Southern Wu, Ji Ruhai, is gone.
The one who discovered this matter was a palace maid who lived in fear, the palace maid was naturally from Southern Wu, but she was doing things for the Northern Tang people, what she needed to do was to deliver the dishes to the soldiers guarding the cold palace every day, and she didn't have to worry about the rest.
She knew that those dishes were for her former majesty, but she couldn't do anything, the only thing she could do was to think with the people in the imperial dining room about how to make Ji Ruhai eat better and better.
Today, she also came to the gate of the cold palace with a little apprehension and caution.
The wind in the early morning is rarely so cool, wafting out from the cold palace, and there is a little smell of blood.
She had a very ominous premonition.
So after entering the palace gate, she saw corpses all over the ground, and she screamed with a disgraced face.
General Yiwei, the general who defended the city of Jinling, came with a gloomy face.
Recently, there have been too many broken things, and he has been distraught.
Huzhou Thorn Shi and the rebel army from all sides slaughtered towards Jinling City, while General Weiyuan pursued Jin'an from afar.
Today, no, last night to be exact, another infuriating thing happened—
More than 50 elites guarding the cold palace were all killed, and these people were not able to send any warnings and messages before they died, which shows that either the enemy is too strong and fast, or the enemy is quite numerous.
If you want to wipe it out in a short period of time, before these people raise the alarm, it is obviously the latter.
In Jinling City, there are ghosts.
And His Majesty Ji Ruhai of Nanwu is gone.
"Martial law in the whole city!" The general roared, "Dig three feet into the ground, and you have to find out that group of people!" ”
……
……
The imprisoned emperor Ji Ruhai of Southern Wu disappeared, and Jinling City was turned upside down and not found.
Everyone understands that there is only one possibility - Ji Ruhai left Jinling City.
Jinling City was originally the key place for the Northern Tang Dynasty to impose martial law, and now the news that all forces are about to attack the city is even more solid. Under such circumstances, Ji Ruhai was able to go out of the city, which made the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty feel absurd, but also had a huge sense of jealousy.
Can they do these things right under their noses, and that will make them sleep peacefully?
However, no matter how much they thought about it, there was still a more important thing in front of them - the soldiers and horses of Huzhou Thorn Shi were only thirty miles away from Jinling.
At the same time, other directions of the Northern Tang expeditionary Wu troops were attacked one after another.
Nanwu's attack is still of a certain scale, which can be said to be a change from the decline of the previous resistance when it was requisitioned.
However, the army of the Northern Tang Dynasty was still tightly organized, especially the forces besieging the city, and there were very few that could attack it, and most of them were unfavorable and retreated.
In contrast, the pressure on Jinling has risen sharply.
Jinling, as the imperial capital of Southern Wu in the past, once consumed countless elites of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and now the Southern Wu forces are ready to fight back, and the troops that attack are naturally extraordinary.
On June 15 of the first year of Kaiyuan in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the 18th Route Army led by Huzhou Thorn Shi came to the city.
On the head of the city, the banner of the Northern Tang Dynasty is fluttering, and under the city, the armor is like a mountain.
General Yiwei stood on it with a gloomy face, looking down at the army outside, looking for traces of the Huzhou Thorn History.
In his opinion, this battle, no matter what, Huzhou Thorn History is the biggest boss.
He couldn't find any trace of Huzhou's assassin history, but finally set his sights on a young general.
The young general looked no more than twenty-three or fourteen years old, dressed in a military uniform, but he vaguely made people perceive the aura of danger.
It was not right for him to focus on the Huzhou Assassin, because when the Eighteenth Route Army approached Jinling City, they all had a unified commander, and that commander would not be the Huzhou Assassin, nor would it be the Si Bing, or other superficial "head and face" figures, but the young man.
That young man had participated in almost all the previous battles of Southern Wu against Northern Tang, and he had been honed until now, not to mention, he was originally a relatively outstanding general.
He is the elder brother of Guan Bangyun, Guan Luoyun, Guan Xianyun and other daughters of the Guan family - Guan Liandian.
After Jinling was breached, he disappeared, and many people thought he was dead, but no one thought that in fact, he organized an insurrectionary army, constantly dealt with the Northern Tang people, and finally appeared here as one of the generals of the Eighteenth Route Army.
After this famous family, he will have full authority to organize the siege of Jinling.
The prologue slowly kicks off, and another good show is about to be staged.
……
……
The sound of hooves and the thunder rolled.
The nimble light cavalry, with the power of thunder, charged towards the Northern Tang army, which was not in a hurry and set out an array.
The word "haste" should not have appeared in this group of tiger and wolf divisions in the first place, and the constant assault of the stalker-fighting army in the south had already made them accustomed to it.
The young man at the front, looking at the closer distance, could almost feel the breathing of the heavy infantry on the opposite side, and slowly pulled out his saber.
Another time with him as the front, although he has done it too many times, his heart is still full of blood.
Traceless horses and Qin killing knives seem to have returned to the time when the blood stained northern Xinjiang back then.
He knew very well what he was going to do, he didn't want to be a hero of Nanwu, but he needed to help Nanwu, so that he could help himself stab the knife in front of the person in Chang'an.
The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt.
There was the sound of a bow and arrow drawn from behind.
Then there were lightning bolts shooting towards the soldiers of the Northern Tang Mansion who had set up the array.
The arrows were in front, and he was in the back, rushing into the array one after the other.
Frost at once.
Knife wielding.
The clothes "rattled", like a swept flag, and the luck method rushed out of the body, exuding a terrifying might.
Qin Slay's blade broke through the shield, and then the iron armor pulled out a ray of light.
Then came the second light, the blood light.
Countless spears stabbed and turned back without a trace, and Qin Kill recovered with the dripping blood.
The light cavalry behind had already collided with each other, and for a while the shouts of killing resounded throughout the four fields.
Tearing the array apart, galloping without a trace, Qin Kill dragged it, blood and water flew with the momentum of wind and thunder, and more than a dozen soldiers in the array fell to the ground in unison.
The cangliu is retrograde.
Ignoring the scar on his arm that turned out, Guan Kuo rushed to the other side expressionlessly.
"Kill that traitorous guy!" The cold voice was very clear, and a general stared at him to give orders.
This is not only his order, but also the order of General Weiyuan, people will always have a greater resentment towards traitors than old enemies, these people are like this, and so is General Weiyuan, it turns out that in addition to caution, General Weiyuan is also a person who is easily provoked.
The Northern Mansion soldiers surged towards the place where Guan Kuo was, all with a light of disgust and hatred in their eyes.
Guan Kuo wanted this, he was very confident that these people would not be able to kill him, and attracting more of those people could delay their return to the north.
Half an hour later, the two sides left a corpse, and the light cavalry on this side began to retreat, it seemed that Jiang Tunshui had given the order.
As in the past, Jiang Tunshui's casualties were greater than those of General Weiyuan, but because he ran fast and General Weiyuan had no intention of fighting, those losses were not a problem.
Guan Kuo was the last to retreat, and someone wanted to intercept him, but without much surroundment of him, it was more difficult than ascending to the sky, and after a few flashes of golden light, he was already far away.
At night, Zhu Weijiang took Jin Xiaoyun and Guan Bangyun, two strong women, to attack and kill him.
An hour later, they returned.
In the early morning, Zhao Yanshuang took Zhang Lianyue and Tie Shan to kill him.
In the afternoon, they returned, and they were staggered by Jiang Tunshui and Guan Kuo and others.
In this way, they used a rogue style of play to slow down General Weiyuan's pace.
If this is a conflict between ordinary people, General Weiyuan can fight them endlessly in a fit of rage, chasing them until they have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, until they capture Lin'an City.
General Weiyuan was certainly angry, but he couldn't do it, he was a famous general, not an ordinary man, especially a reckless man.
Five days later, the news that the commanders of the Guanlian Hall had begun to attack Jinling had reached the ears of General Weiyuan.
Because of the Southern Wu Secret Mansion, Jin An had already received the news three days ago, but he was silent.
Note that it was the beginning of the attack, that is, Guan Liandian was not pretending to show off his might outside the city, but that he and General Yiwei had already fought preliminarily.
This will not be a battle that can produce results in a short period of time, but in today's current situation, there are too many variables, General Yiwei can't afford to wait, and General Weiyuan can't afford to gamble.
He had to arrive as soon as possible to attack Guan Lian Hall and the other Southern Wu forces, and at that time, if Jin An really chased him outside Jinling City, he could rest assured that he would be able to clean up Jin An.
But Jin An just had to go against him.
What General Weiyuan wants, he has to stop General Weiyuan from doing.
But General Weiyuan is not an incompetent general who will be led by his nose indefinitely, and when this famous general has no way out, he finally made a move-
Division of troops.
When this day had just dawned, Jiang Tunshui and Guan Kuo marched side by side, with troops that had been tempered with higher morale and stronger combat effectiveness, and were ready to continue to harass General Weiyuan as before, but what they saw was not the picture they had seen for many days.
There was no march of troops, no angry eyes of General Weiyuan, and no soldiers with impatience.
What they encountered was a wall of government soldiers, all of them showing fierce looks, and those people were about to show their sharp fangs.
General Wei Yuan is gone, and he has left a thousand soldiers in place against Jin An, who has been harassing him.
After the division of troops, it is possible that these thousand soldiers will be wiped out under Jin'an's complete offensive, but he doesn't care, and neither do these thousand soldiers.
Jin An could no longer slow down General Weiyuan's pace, this general rode away, and he couldn't catch up with his horse.
And Jin An is about to face this thousand soldiers who have the same heart to die, and pay a huge price.
Playing chess, what is important is that you come and go, Jin An has laid out a lot of games for General Weiyuan, so General Weiyuan can also break the game, and even lay out for Jin An in turn.
General Weiyuan's elite troops were not easy to come by, Jin An would never have thought that General Weiyuan would be willing to lose a whole thousand soldiers to deal with him, and speed up the march, and General Weiyuan wanted what he didn't think of.
Although General Weiyuan has suffered losses, if when General Weiyuan arrives in Jinling, Guan Liandian has not been able to attack it, then he will face General Yiwei and General Weiyuan from both sides inside and outside the city.
This game is getting more and more interesting.
