Chapter 401: Reinforcements Arrive
100,000 reinforcements rushed to the garrison of the army, Wu Zhibin looked at the empty and messy camp frowned, and called Captain Yin, who was in charge of delivering the good news, to come over and ask: "How come the whole army is exhausted, and there is no battalion left in the rear?" ”
Captain Yin's mind was a little confused, and he bowed down and said: "There is no enemy in the rear, General Wei ordered to break the city with all his strength, and all the soldiers will go." m.x23us”
On the surface, he is still stable, but in his heart he is extremely panicked, lying about the military situation, bullying the king, and the great crime of the nine clans, how not to be afraid.
When he received the order, he resisted very much, Wei Zhixun reassured him that it would not be considered a bully to take the city, and promised to help him operate at that time.
Wei Zhixun is a more feared existence than the emperor in his heart, brutal in the open, and even more fierce in the dark.
If you don't listen to his orders, defeat or win him and his whole family will end miserably, and fake good news, just capture the city can not only save the life of the family, but also move forward smoothly, such a trade-off, Captain Yin naturally fell to Wei Zhixun.
For some reason, Wu Zhibin had an ominous premonition, so he didn't speak for a while.
Captain Yin was afraid that he would get a glimpse of some clues, so he led his troops back, bowed his head and said: "The military situation ahead is urgent, the city is about to be broken, and there can be no delay. ”
If the army does not move and misses the military situation, the emperor will definitely be guilty, and the dragon thunder is furious, Wu Zhibin pondered for a moment, pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and led the army to the battlefield with him.
In the city, Wei Zhixun led more than 20,000 remnants of the army to retreat to the other side of the river, fried and roasted and waited for reinforcements to arrive.
After two encounters, he knew that he could not capture the city with only tens of thousands of horses, and it was better to retain his strength and wait for reinforcements if he resisted stubbornly.
The enemy army was defeated and retreated, but Su Qiqi's side did not stop at all, and they did not even chase after them, and they retreated to the river bank.
When the enemy army fled across the river, the city army sat in the shade under the city wall to protect the people who went out of the city to clean the battlefield.
After two battles, the army has become a god in the eyes of the people of the city, and the status of the soldiers has been elevated, which is not only spontaneously admired, but also awe-inspired.
Wei Zhixun looked at the thousands of energetic and energetic city citizens with a complicated expression, his eyes flickered, and his eyes turned to fall on the 100,000 soldiers trapped in the Bagua Array, his face sinking like water.
When the reinforcements arrived on the riverbank, Wu Zhibin looked around, saw the tragic battlefield, was shocked, his head buzzed, he almost fell off his horse, and looked at the wounded soldiers lying on the ground, and his body was cold.
He hurriedly dismounted, strode towards Wei Zhixun, and said angrily: "General Wei, you... You are so bold, you actually falsely spread good news and deceived the emperor, you wait, I will go back to the emperor and treat you for the crime of bullying the emperor. ”
"Wu Zhibin, you dare!" Wei Zhixun called him by his name and said: "This general is a first-class general, you are a second-class general, you should obey this general's orders, you dare to disobey orders, believe it or not, this general dealt with you on the spot." ”
Se Li reprimanded inwardly, and said in a soothing tone: "You should know that the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected, and this general has a last resort to falsely report the military situation." ”
He pointed to a group of dazed soldiers on the other side of the river and said: "The disastrous defeat in this battle is not because the general is incompetent, but because he accidentally fell into the enemy's tricks, and the trap is only temporary. ”
"General Ben remembers that you have a capable man who is good at gossip array, tomorrow, I will lead 50,000 soldiers to drag them, you go to break the formation, wait for the rescue of the army, more than 200,000 troops are still afraid that they will not be able to capture the city? They were all three thousand five hundred men. ”
"You helped the general break the formation, capture the city, and blame the general, all the credit belongs to you, and the general is willing to retreat and return to the field."
Wei Zhixun was red-eyed in defeat, and would rather abandon his official position than vow to take the city.
On the other hand, he was embarrassed to return to the court, and he was guilty of bullying the king, and he was demoted at the lightest, and even a family at the worst, no matter how heavy it was, there was no possibility of holding military power, he was already cornered, and there was only one way to take the city.
Under the coercion and temptation, Wu Zhibin was a little moved, the temptation is not small!
The inside was loose, his face was tense, and he pretended to think deeply, and after a long time, he took a step back and bowed down and clenched his fists: "The last general is willing to help the general." ”
Wei Zhixun's heart fell to the ground, pulled out a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, good, General Ben has written it down." ”
Wu Zhibin said humbly: "The general's words are serious, and assisting the general in attacking the city is the duty of the last general." ”
The two talked about the scene and sat down to discuss tomorrow's battle, Wu Zhibin said: "General, the last general has a plan..."
Wei Zhixun rarely gave a good face, and said with a pleasant face: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Wu Zhibin said: "Since it is quite difficult to attack head-on, why not attack it in the rear, break the formation tomorrow, the general will contain the front door, and the last general will lead the troops to attack the city from the rear, open the city gate, and the inside and outside should be combined." ”
Wei Zhixun's face was bitter: "Do you think that this general has never fought such an idea, I have already explored, the rear organs are heavy, the maze is dense, it is difficult to advance an inch from a hundred feet away, the spies who sneaked into the city before the war returned, even if they were close to the city wall, it was helpless, the city wall was built by something, not only high and smooth, but also the ladder hooked and chained. ”
Wu Zhibin's eyes narrowed slightly: "The strength of the city is strong, and it should not be underestimated!" ”
An unintentional sigh slammed Wei Zhixun's heart, deeply pierced his heart, his face turned dark, and he said impatiently: "Okay, there is no other way, let's discuss tomorrow's battle." ”
Wu Zhibin should be.
The next day, the enemy regrouped and crossed the river to call for battle.
The sound of shouting came into the city, Su Qiqi took a sip of seafood porridge, glanced at Wang Daming, who couldn't wait to stand up, knocked on the table and said, "Sit down, eat and rest for half an hour to fight." ”
"Oh~" Wang Daming dared to pout with Mazi and others, and Su Qiqi was as well-behaved as a golden bird in a cage.
After the meal, Mo Zefeng beckoned the people below to a pot of good tea on the table, rubbed it in front of Su Qiqi and said: "Patriarch, the people in the city have sent some snacks and fruits to comfort the soldiers, and made another request, asking if they can be allowed to go to the city wall to watch the majesty of our army." ”
Su Qiqi thought for a while and said: "Check the food, if there is no problem and distribute it to your subordinates, the food imported by the army must be boiled under your personal supervision before it can be served on the table. ”
"Yes! I understand. Mo Zefeng replied.
"Well, the matter of watching the battle is allowed, but you have to send someone to maintain order, if there are people with ill intentions, take the opportunity to make trouble, and execute them on the spot, there is no need to report it." Su Qiqi pondered, let the people of the city witness the majesty of the army, a good thing, the greater the shock, the more peaceful, easy to manage.
