Chapter 17: Sitting in the Troubled City is a disadvantage
readx;
Although he felt very humiliated, Wang Gangshen finally obediently retreated to Zhaoliang City with the remnants of the army, and when he entered the city, he and Bai Keqiu glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of despair in the other party's gaze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, in addition to being obedient and retreating to the city, Wang Gangshen has a better choice, that is, to die in battle! As long as he is the defense envoy of the five provinces, there is naturally no need for the surrounding four provinces to send troops to help, and the wishful thinking of Buchen and Qu Zhixiong will inevitably fail, it can be said that this choice is very beneficial to the Beast Clan Puppet Dynasty in addition to Wang Gang's own miserable sideburns.
However, it is regrettable that Wang Ganghuan did not have the courage to "sacrifice his life for the country......
Wang Gangsideburns is the last heir of the Tiger Clan's Wang family, in addition to him, the other children of the Wang family have long been killed by Gongde Qitian, if he dies, the Wang family will be extinct, and the throne of the Tiger Clan's Great Khan will belong to others, which Wang Gangsideburns can't accept anyway!
Wang Gangshen did not return to his temporary residence in the city, but returned to the governor's yamen with Bai Keqiu, and the two of them went straight to the signing room, and sat down in silence for a long time.
"The other three are defeated?" Wang Gang's sideburns broke the silence first.
Bai Keqiu sighed and nodded slightly: "It is said that just like outside the gate of the East City, the army of barbarians came straight out of the night, with guns and cannons, and they were caught off guard, and they couldn't fight at night, so they had to retreat." ”
"Can't fight at night?" Wang Gang's sideburns sneered when he heard these four words, "My command is full of warriors who have no hindrance in night fighting, aren't they still beaten and defeated, and they return in embarrassment?" ”
Bai Keqiu smiled bitterly: "In the words of the human barbarians, this is not a crime of war!" ”
"It's not okay to break through!" Wang Gang's sideburns let out a long sigh.
Bai Keqiu knew very well the meaning of Wang Gang's words, at this time, the armies were newly defeated, not only suffered heavy losses, but also were killed by humans......
Bai Keqiu gritted his teeth, raised his head and glanced deeply at Wang Gang's sideburns, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Wang Gang's sideburns shook his head helplessly: "Fox King, you know very well that I can't die outside!" ”
"Your Highness, is the self-interest of a family and a surname important? Or is the world of my beast clan important?! Bai Keqiu asked in a cold voice.
Wang Gang's sideburns sank his face: "Fox King, speak with your conscience, if you are in the position I was in just now, can you be willing to die?!" ”
"This ......," Bai Keqiu hesitated.
"Obviously, you can't either!" Wang Gangsideburns sneered, "So don't blame me for refusing to die!" ”
Bai Keqiu lowered his head in some shame.
Wang Gang's sideburns looked at Bai Keqiu's appearance and snorted coldly.
"It's just that Your Highness, if you can't break through now, what should we do next?" Thinking of these very realistic questions, Bai Keqiu had to look up and ask again.
"What about it?"
This question made Wang Gang's temples speechless, he couldn't break through, and he refused to die, what else could they do about this dangerous situation at the moment?
After pondering for a long time, Wang Gang's sideburns said tentatively: "Stick to the city defense first, and wait for the opportunity to act!" Maybe there will be a turnaround! ”
"Really?" Bai Ke asked with a smile, "Will there be a turnaround?" ”
Wang Gang's sideburns shuddered, and at this moment he clearly saw the killing intent in Bai Keqiu's eyes!
"Fox King, what do you want?!" Wang Gang held his saber without a trace.
"Don't do anything, Your Highness has worked hard, let's go and rest early!" Bai Keqiu said expressionlessly, then stood up, pushed the door and left.
Wang Gangjian didn't dare to stay in the governor's yamen any longer, and hurried out of the yamen with the guards and went back to his residence.
"King, why didn't you give the order just now?"
At this moment, in Bai Keqiu's study, a lamp was like a bean, Bai Keqiu was sitting behind the desk, and a burly fox clan general was standing in front of him.
Bai Keqiu shook his head slightly: "Wang Gang's sideburns are brave, and there are even guards and guards, if you rush into fire with insufficient preparation, it will be difficult to say who will kill the deer!" ”
"But let him go back, he will definitely gather men and horses to defend it strictly, and it will be difficult to do it again!" The fox general scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Bai Keqiu smiled bitterly, how could he not know this truth? If you want to blame, you can only blame him for being the same as Wang Gangsideburns, who is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
"Let's defend the city! In addition, in order to prevent Wang Gang's sideburns from striking first, the defense of the governor's yamen should also be strengthened. Bai Keqiu said with a dejected face.
"Alas!" The fox general stomped his foot sharply, turned and went out.
……
Not to mention how Wang Gangshen and Bai Keqiu sat in the city of sorrow, but also tried to fight each other, just to say that at this time, he led the main army of 280,000 to the south.
Unlike the cavalry divisions, which only advanced on light horseback, in order to ensure the safety of the grain route and the back road, the main army had to capture and control all the cities along the way. Therefore, the speed of the advance of the main army was destined to be unable to catch up with the cavalry division.
In order to ensure the speed of the advance, Buchen had to divide his troops all the way, leaving two regiments of infantry and four regiments of auxiliaries to attack each city he encountered, while the rest of the army continued to advance.
Logan Tracy, who accompanied Buchen to the south as a military adviser, had a great opinion on this kind of dispersal of forces, and in his opinion, this was undoubtedly a chance to defeat the enemy one by one!
It's just that Buchen looked like he didn't care, but boasted about Haikou and said that the two regiments of regular troops he left behind could still win even if they encountered a hundredfold enemy!
Logan Trecy naturally didn't believe it 10,000!
However, Buchen doesn't care whether Logan believes it or not, he still goes his own way, and divides thousands of troops every time he encounters a city, so that Logan even has the heart to scold his mother!
Although it is a bit out of tune not to use soldiers, but under his "insistence", this journey is very fast!
More than 200,000 troops marched at a speed of 100 miles a day, but in six days, they ran more than 600 miles, and now there are at most four days to enter Zhaoliang City!
"Henry, your soldiers are good soldiers, no worse than my emperor's soldiers, even if it is my emperor's old Praetorian Guard, the speed of the journey can't be faster, but it's ...... Alas! While camping for dinner that night, Logan stared at Buchendao, who was eating the marching dry food with relish, and at the end, he sighed with regret.
Buchen rolled his eyes, put down the lunch box, and asked Logan angrily: "But what?" ”
"How's it going?" Logan pursed his lips, "There is a limit to not being self-aware!" ”
Buchen was amused by him: "You mean I don't know how to use soldiers at all?" ”
"You said it yourself, I didn't say it!" Luo Gen said slyly, although Buchen's territory is a little smaller, but after all, he has the status of an emperor and is still an ally, and some words that are too ugly to hear can't be said casually.
"Logan, shall we make a bet?" Buchen said with a smile.
"Bet? What to bet on? Logan could sense the bad intentions of the unsubordinate, and asked cautiously.
"It's very simple, by tomorrow at the latest, there will be a good news of the capture of the city!" Don't be subordinate.
"Take the city?" Luo laughed a lot, "Just the thousands of people you left behind? Can withstand the internal and external attacks of the enemy army in the city and the gentry outside the city, it is not bad if the whole army is annihilated, and the city is captured? That's not how the joke goes, Henry! ”
"You don't believe me?"
"Don't believe it!" Logan shook his head categorically, and added at the end, "I don't believe it if I die!" ”
Buchen nodded: "Then do you dare to bet?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Logan said fearlessly.
"Good!" Buchen smiled, "Then let's make this bet!" ”
"Wait, what's the stake?" Logan stared at Buchen shrewdly.
Buchen pouted: "If there is no good news, even if you win, I will give your Emperor His Majesty ten of the latest rifled artillery pieces for nothing." If I win, how about you kneel before me three times and knock nine times and shout that Your Majesty Henry is the greatest? ”
"Bet!" The divine soldier is moving, under the temptation of rifled artillery, what else can Logan say?
