Chapter 322: Fight to Fame
Captain Yuci personally led more than 10,000 people to rush out of the city, and found that there were no other male soldiers to besiege except for the Red Army. At that moment, he had never been so glad about his decision. It's a pity that he was happy a little too early, and this day is destined to disappoint him.
The Red Army, in accordance with the formation that had been drilled, avoided the passage of 2,000 cavalry, and only concentrated on besieging the infantry. Although there were a large number of infantry out of the city, the Red Army was well-trained, had crossbows by their side, and had a ruthlessness to justify their own name, and in less than an hour, the battlefield outside Yuci City became a one-sided situation.
At this time, the Yuci Army, who was afraid of the Red Army, wanted to escape back to the city, but it was too late. Feng Shen had already led the people from the north of the city to go around and enter the southern city of Yuci, and the city gate was not to be closed again.
And the fate of the 2,000 cavalry who avoided the attack of the Red Army was not strong. After running less than five miles, he was ambushed by Qiu Shaoze and others. These cavalrymen were originally busy fleeing for their lives, and when they saw the strongest Yue cavalry in the cadre army appear, they still had the heart to struggle, but after a short resistance, they surrendered honestly.
On August 14 of the third year of Yankang, the Red Army became famous in a battle, killing and wounding 3,000 Bingzhou troops with a force of less than 4,000 troops, and forcing 6,000 to surrender. And their own side was killed and wounded less than 100 people. Captain Yuci finally died under the sword of a woman he had never looked down upon, and made Biluan Xiao beheaded.
As for the remaining 8,000 people in Yuci City, after being killed and injured by Feng Shen and his people cutting melons and chopping vegetables, they all knew that the general trend had gone, and they had honestly surrendered.
Xiao Meng and the others have fought for so many years, and it is very rare to see such an easy way to break the city. From the time the Red Martial Army went to call for the battle, to the time when the Great Secretary ordered him to ride into the city, it didn't take three hours before and after. The big priest said that he would have dinner in Yuci City that morning, but it was not a joke, but a reality! Everyone rejoiced in this great battle.
Lan Jingan was also very satisfied with the results of this battle. Not only did she break the city fast enough, but at the same time made the Red Armed Army famous, but more importantly, she basically achieved so many commands with the fewest casualties. The total casualties of the cadres were only 300. And the 20,000 garrisons in Yuci City, in addition to the 5,000 killed and wounded, 15,000 people completely surrendered.
Since leading the troops again, Lan Jing'an, who has not drunk a drop of wine, held a wine glass at the celebration banquet for the first time in the Yuci Shouwei's Mansion that night. Lan Jing'an even announced that the whole army would take a day off in Yuci to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the day after tomorrow a complete blockade of Jinyang would be arranged, and Xiao Meng would preside over the battle against Jinyang. Strive to wipe out all the Bingzhou troops in Jinyang.
After the celebration, Lan Jing'an was alone in the room grinding and writing letters, and a gentle smile lingered faintly on her face. Lan Jing'an thought silently, Brother Qingyun should receive her gift tomorrow, right? Today's victory can be regarded as another gift she gave him, and I hope he can be as smooth as Yuci in Luoyang.
When Biluan pushed the door in, she saw such a picture of a beautiful woman under the lamp. Bi Luan hadn't seen a girl's graceful and gentle appearance for a long time, as if she had become a quiet and unworldly boudoir girl at this time.
Lan Jing'an raised his eyes and saw that it was Biluan coming in, and he didn't stop writing, but just said casually: "You wait for me, I'll finish writing." Bi Luan waited obediently on the side, only waiting for Lan Jing to install the letter, and then reported to her: "Doctor Jiang is back, do you want to see her now?" ”
Lan Jing'an nodded: "Go ahead." The sooner we know the situation, the sooner we go. She stood up, asked Biluan to give her a big deal, and took Biluan to find Jiang Yutang.
As soon as Lan Jing'an entered the room, he saw Jiang Yutang's gloomy face. Lan Jing'an asked him gently, "Didn't you find the horse team that the eldest brother said?" ”
Jiang Yutang bowed down to salute her, and said apologetically: "The lower officials are incompetent. That team is no longer there. At present, the only horse team that can enter and leave Jinbei is a team, but their leader refuses to see me. And for some reason, they seem to know who I am. ”
Lan Jing'an was a little surprised: "How can you say this?" Jiang Yutang sighed: "The other party asked Lord Bai to meet their team leader by name." ”
Lan Jing'an's brows furrowed suddenly: "Ask the eldest brother to meet?" It's weird. What else did you say? ”
Jiang Yutang shook his head: "I don't want to say anything else." It was all good at first. Until they said they wanted to ask the team leader and took me to a teahouse for tea. Not only did the team leader not come out, but the person who received me brought me this message. ”
Lan Jing'an thought for a while and asked, "What is the origin of this horse team?" Why is this the only one that can enter and exit Jinyang now? ”
Jiang Yutang replied: "I heard that since we surrounded Yuci, Jinyang City has only allowed this horse team to enter the city. I inquired in Wolf Meng before, and it seems that Xiao Qian's military horses were all obtained from this horse team. ”
Lan Jing'an touched his chin: "It's kind of interesting." I don't know who the owner of this horse team is, and he has such ability. ”
While the two were talking, Bai Qingfeng also came over when he heard the news. Lan Jing'an asked Jiang Yutang to tell Bai Qingfeng what had happened again, and Bai Qingfeng frowned when he heard it: "I don't know when such a capable horse team came out here in Bingzhou." However, considering that since we started the army, I haven't cared much about business in the north. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and it's no surprise that the situation has changed. ”
Lan Jing'an turned his head to look at him: "We don't know the other party's purpose, why do we have to see you, eldest brother." Just abandon this plan. I'll think of another way. ”
Bai Qing said lightly: "No." It's a good idea to think of this, but it's a shame to abandon it. No matter what the other party's purpose is, in business, it is just a waste of money. Nothing to be afraid of. ”
Lan Jing'an was still a little worried: "Either forget it." I don't understand business, I only know that you are my eldest brother, and Brother Qingyun and I will never let you lose. ”
Bai Qingfeng smiled when he heard this: "You are not afraid of taking risks yourself, why is it my turn to be worried about being like this?" Rest assured, according to what Yutang said, the other party should have no malicious intent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Yutang come back so quietly. ”
Lan Jing'an hesitated for a while, but finally nodded: "In that case, the place to meet is about Dongshan." I asked Qiu Shaoze to take the shadow guard to ambush in advance, even if the other party has any bad intentions, he will not think of it. I'll go with you again, but I want to see who the other person is. ”
Bai Qingfeng was very happy when he saw that the third sister cared about herself so much, and nodded: "Okay, just according to what you say." You're tired of commanding today, I'll just go to Qiu Shaoze to arrange it later. It's only half a day's road from Dongshan, and I'm going to arrange it for the night after tomorrow, what do you think? ”
Lan Jing'an agreed, went to rest, and only let Bai Qingfeng be responsible for the meeting the day after tomorrow. She knew that her eldest brother had been immersed in the business for many years, so she naturally understood the businessman's thoughts better than her, and she didn't need to do anything else except protect his safety.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Lan Jing'an received a request from the opposing horse team to meet in Dongshan Village tomorrow night in the midst of missing Brother Qingyun. She breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't know who was waiting for them tomorrow night.
