Chapter 229: Huangkou Kid (2)
Five days later, Huzhou.
Everything was planned, and the outcome of military operations in many places was not to be expected.
In Jinling a few days ago, General Weiyuan finally made a decision - it was not advisable to take a dangerous move, and it was better to take it step by step.
So he personally appeared in the army that attacked Huzhou.
Everything is in order, as long as there are no problems with their own deployment, then they can attack Huzhou immediately.
"General, over there in Lin'an, General Lin Wei hasn't heard any news yet, are you sure you can approach Huzhou City?" The general beside him asked.
"I am a towering army of the Tang Dynasty, and I am invincible, and General Lin Wei is a veteran who has participated in many wars. Jin An Huangkou is a little girl, who wants to use the miscellaneous pieces that have only been put together for a few months to confront us, he is simply a clown who jumps off the beam! General Wei Yuan smiled and said.
"That's true," the general said, "but general, in my opinion, Jin An is not a combat-free army, he has the original military force of Lin'an Assassin Shi Hu Wangji, and many of the people who defected to him are the stragglers who fled south after the defeat of Jinling, the latter is the elite of the regular army of Southern Wu, even if it is defeated, it has a lot of combat effectiveness, I think it is better to be careful." Of course, I don't mean to say that I doubt General Linwei's ability to capture Lin'an, but I think it's a matter of time, and he may still spend some time. ”
General Weiyuan smiled.
"Since the result is already doomed, and it is only a matter of time before Jin An is eliminated, then it is impossible for him to appear outside of Lin'an, on the contrary, General Lin Wei will appear here and besiege Huzhou with us."
"What the general said is very true."
Looking into the distance, the iron horses on the land are galloping, the government soldiers are like mountains, and a large area of black pressure.
Two thousand iron cavalry, and six thousand soldiers, pressed outside the city of Huzhou.
As the Hangjiahu area, which is not far from Jinling, it is one of the most loyal boundaries to the royal family of the Southern Wu Ji clan like Yangzhou, Gusu, Luzhou, Jiangcheng and other places. Attacking Huzhou, General Weiyuan was personally in charge, and he also dispatched a more powerful military force than the attack on Lin'an, that is because the Huzhou Assassin Shi is famous and promising, the city is high and strong, and the military discipline is strictly orderly, which is one of the biggest obstacles to their destruction of Southern Wu, and it takes great determination to capture Huzhou City.
Huzhou Thorn Shi stood at the head of the city, Gujing Wubo, he understood that with his current strength, although he could make the Northern Tang people suffer a lot, but he was also under the nest, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and the only thing he could do was to make the other party pay a great price, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
The black pressure troops and siege equipment were in sight, and he pressed the masonry at the head of the city, and his heart was heavy.
The soldier beside him was dressed in military uniform, and his face was full of determination to live and die with the city.
"Lord Thorn, we're all ready." Si Bing said in a dull voice.
"Okay, when General Weiyuan attacks the city, he will beat them and let them know that if they want to eat our Huzhou, they must be prepared to fall out of their teeth!"
"Yes!"
He watched the enemy's army get closer and closer, guessing where General Weiyuan was.
But suddenly, he saw that the other party suddenly stopped at a distance from here.
……
……
Before a stick of incense.
Huzhou City was in sight, and General Weiyuan felt this large piece of land trembling at the feet of his troops, and the feelings in his heart were indescribable.
He was able to do all this in his lifetime, and in retrospect, it still feels like a dream, and it was all because they followed that invincible emperor.
He naturally knew that Bai Congyun, the general of Dingyuan in the northern Xinjiang, had been attacked by Ashinaqin, so he also bid farewell to many generals who had returned to the north, and his troops in the south had been reduced by one-third.
But the rest of the world was still smooth, he was invincible all the way, and he was invincible, so he firmly believed that he would personally witness and experience the eternal glory of an immortal dynasty.
Here, he just wants to say: Huzhou, I'm here!
But he couldn't say that.
Because of the urgent report from Lin'an.
When the dusty light rider arrived here, he was almost disgraced.
He got down on one knee and gasped for breath as he reported:
"General...... The attack on Lin'an failed...... General Lin Wei retreated in the direction of Songjiang with the rout......"
Before he could finish his words, General Wei Yuan jumped off his horse with a blue face, grabbed the light rider and made the other party stand up, and roared, "What did you say!?" ”
The shock of the light cavalry was not light, but now that he was so frightened by the angry General Weiyuan, he stammered and couldn't say anything:
"Will ...... Checkmate...... I...... I ......"
Seeing that General Weiyuan's emotions were out of control, the surrounding soldiers stepped forward to stop him:
"General, don't be angry."
"Let him finish his sentence."
……
General Weiyuan finally recovered a little, his eyes were full of gloom, and he took a step back to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions again.
"Say!"
"General Lin Wei has done his best, and Jin'an's casualties are also very large, more than half, but there are only more than 1,000 people left who have retreated to Songjiang, and they are ......"
"And what!?"
General Weiyuan's momentum was so fierce that the light rider trembled, but fortunately, he realized his gaffe again in a blink of an eye, and began to be silent.
"And after the war, people from all over Nanwu frantically flocked to Lin'an, and Jin'an's lost troops were made up to a certain extent, and he had already gathered his troops and was ready to kill here in Huzhou!"
General Weiyuan's eyes almost erupted with fire.
He can think that it was a provocation by Jin An to himself.
A beam-jumping clown repelled himself once, it doesn't matter, the most hateful thing is that the beam-jumping clown began to jump up, shouting to take the initiative to come and beat people!
"It's bearable, it's unbearable!" He laughed fiercely, "Withdraw the army, go to Lin'an, and destroy that yellow-mouthed kid in Jin'an!" ”
Hearing this, the people around were shocked, and one of the personal soldiers even exclaimed: "General! ”
Everyone knows very well that they traveled a long way to Huzhou, but they didn't come for a ride, and they consumed a lot of grain and grass during the period, and now they came to the city of Huzhou, about to attack the city, at such a juncture, General Weiyuan suddenly ordered to give up the siege and go to attack Jin'an instead, didn't this make the troops exhausted?
"Huzhou!" General Wei Yuan pointed to the huge city in the distance, "Do you think you can capture it in a short time?" ”
"That guy from Jin An with his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he can't wait for us to attack the city, so that he can come over and join forces with the troops in the city to attack us!"
"I'm not so stupid, since that's the case, then Lao Tzu will go and kill him first, just like pinching an ant to death!"
The people around them were shocked and silent, and realized that General Wei Yuan was right, if they attacked the city, they would really be flanked by the rushed Jin'an, and it was not a wise move to do so.
The army slowly turned around and headed southeast, leaving behind a cloud of dust and smoke that obscured the sky and the sun.
On the distant city, Huzhou Thorn Shi still didn't know what was going on, but his heart was a little relieved.
Then the cronies behind him approached with a strange look and said to him:
"My lord, the news from the Duke of Lin'an from the secret mansion ......"
……
……
The sun shines beautifully, and the mountains and rivers are more colorful.
Thirty miles to the north is the border of Huzhou.
The victory in that battle many days ago was almost the first, albeit small-scale, after the Northern Tang counterattack on Southern Wu that began at the time of Guan Zhengxing.
And the protagonist is obviously in a very good mood, and a pair of eyes that can fascinate thousands of ignorant girls can't stop staring at the handsome young man in a long robe not far away.
Tie Shan Wu was stared at by him very uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" I'm not a beauty. ”
In fact, Jin An has a reason to think of Tie Shan Wu this way, because in the previous war, Tie Shan Wu almost never appeared, but at the last moment, he suddenly flashed out and stabbed General Lin Wei into a serious injury, which can almost be said to be a lore.
This is a very strange person, Jin An thinks.
He didn't answer Tetsuyama's question.
"I know why you look at me like this," Tie Shan Wu said, "I have my own affairs, I have a grudge against General Lin Wei, I don't fight for the Northern Tang Dynasty, nor do I fight for your Southern Wu, I'm just for myself, so it's understandable for me to do this." ”
"You have your freedom," Kim An shrugged, "I see you this way, but I'm actually really interested in you as a person." ”
"Stop," Tetsuyama interrupted, "I'm not interested in men. ”
Jin An: "......"
On the other side, Guan Kuo watched the scene where the two of them met and talked, and suddenly felt interesting.
In his opinion, Jin An and Tie Shan Wu are actually the same kind of people, both of whom seem to be heartless on weekdays, but actually know what to do in their hearts.
It's really interesting for two people like this to be together.
Later, Lin'an City has been thrown away, Li Xiyun, Li Qianrong, and Ji Rushi are all difficult to see in a short period of time, the army is far away, and the front is unknown.
In the battle with General Lin Wei, their casualties were four or five thousand, and even if they did not die, many soldiers lost their combat effectiveness and could not fight again.
Later, countless people heard the news of the victory and rushed to defect, and the number gathered to more than 10,000, and the later people were not trained as before, but once the war broke out, many things were helpless.
But Kim An was reorganized and instilled with some ideas.
With this group of soldiers who came almost as a general mobilization, and it was also what General Weiyuan and other regular army generals considered "miscellaneous", Jin An did not have that kind of awareness, he was high-spirited and sang in his mouth, so the people around him also sang with him, and finally the whole army was singing.
Perhaps, this is called pride.
They have no sophisticated equipment, no formal training, and some are just enthusiastic and determined to die.
When war breaks out and the conventional army is too depleted, it is this group of people who can be relied on, who will be trained to become the mainstay of a country.
Guan Kuo was deeply infected, and traveled all the way north, with strength in his heart, he was able to fear everything.
