Section 15 Offense instead of defense
readx;
Long Zizi, who had just led two cavalry wings into Yinchuan Prefecture, had not even had time to dismount and take a breath when he received news from the pre-dispatched reconnaissance horses that the combined forces of the Sislo and the Yinchuan Prefecture First Garrison Division under Sun Yuanhui under Sun Yuanhui who were quickly pressing over from the north were less than 20 miles away from the city, and it only took less than an hour to rush to the city wall, and the opponent's strength was more than three times more than the strength he had now, including all the forces that could be mobilized in Yinchuan Prefecture! The situation suddenly became so grim!
Looking at the officers from all walks of life whose faces were a little pale, Long himself knew that if he didn't deal with it correctly, he was afraid that the friendly forces that had just supported his side might even immediately turn against each other and fall to the enemy's side again, and then his 10,000 people would really die without a place to be buried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jin Zecheng stood aside and coldly paid attention to the somewhat cold situation, as early as the moment when Long himself led the army into Yinchuan Mansion City, he handed over the defense of the entire Yinchuan Mansion City to the middle-aged man in front of him who looked very old, at this moment he felt a sense of relaxation in his heart, and even a hint of schadenfreude, looking at how this guy in front of him coped, although he also knew that his idea was very ridiculous, after all, if he really wanted to let Sun Yuanhui and the Siathrow people enter the city, his fate was even worse than that of this guy in front of him, in order to maintain a good relationship with the neighbor in the south, Sun Yuanhui will never behave excessively towards them, and he is different, compared to the status of a lost dog, especially his decision at the last moment, which will make Sun Yuanhui gnash his teeth.
The dragon himself noticed the cold glance of the guy next to him, this guy may still be a little unconvinced, after all, the estrangement caused by the hostile relationship formed over the years cannot be resolved in a day or two, it takes a long time to communicate and integrate.
Calming down a little, Long Zi looked around at the people around him, and finally fixed his eyes on Jin Zecheng who was sitting next to him, Jin Zecheng knew the task of this meeting as soon as Long himself held a meeting, he didn't want to hide too much, he also knew that he couldn't run away, but his self-esteem forced him to maintain a special reserve.
"Lord Jin, the current military situation is like fire, I don't know what you think?" Long Zi's words carried a hint of respect, and those who can make a final decision at a critical moment at least have some ability.
"Hey, in front of Lord Long, where can I talk about anything, I am willing to listen to my lord's orders. Shaking his head slightly, Jin Zecheng quietly pushed the ball back.
"My lord is too polite, now the enemy army has come to the city, if you and I are still here to shirk, I'm afraid that tomorrow our heads will be hung on the wall outside the city of Yinchuan Mansion. The dragon pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and said as if jokingly.
Jin Zecheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled mockingly: "My lord's words are serious, there are adults sitting here, and it is difficult to think that the enemy will not be able to do so." However, the general thought that if the infantry of the 3rd Garrison Division could be allowed to defend and the cavalry to ambush on the flanks outside the city, he might be able to catch the enemy by surprise. ”
"What about the cavalry I brought?" asked with a satisfied smile on his face, and the dragon asked with a slight chin on his face.
"The troops led by the Lord have come from afar, so they can rest for a while, and wait for the ambushed army to attack and disrupt their positions, and then go out of the city to attack, and the effect will be better. Jin Zecheng suggested with a deep sigh.
Taking a breath, although Long Zi was not surprised by this strategy, the original opponent was able to come up with such an emergency strategy in such a short time, and it must be said that there were still some talents on the enemy's side.
Nodding heavily, Long himself expressed his approval of this strategy: "Very good, I agree very much, Lord Jin is really extraordinary, just do it according to your opinion!"
When he learned that the Third Garrison Division suddenly fell to Zhou Tinggui's side at the last moment, and the Second Garrison Division that he had worked so hard to win over was completely defeated, Sun Yuanhui's face was gloomy as if he had died of an old lady, and his huge anger made him unable to say anything for a while, although he knew that the strength he had now was still enough to take Yinchuan Mansion for a period of time, but the feeling of being teased still made him urgently need to find a place to vent, and taking Yinchuan Mansion City naturally became the best goal.
Looking at Sun Yuanhui, whose chest rose and fell sharply and his face was gloomy, Kidman was a little worried, "Lord Sun, you don't have any problems, right? Actually, you don't have to care too much, no matter how they are, we have 100,000 people, and there is your internal response inside, it should be a matter of time before you take Yinchuan Mansion City, you don't have to worry too much." ”
"Thank you for your concern, General Kidman, I don't have anything, I just think that Jin Zecheng is usually very smart, and he knows that this time he will actually stand wrong? Don't blame me for not giving him a chance. Shaking his head and exhaling a sullen breath, Sun Yuanhui said hatefully.
"Lord Sun, how do you think we will attack?" Although he really wanted to take Yinchuan Mansion City in one fell swoop, out of politeness, and because he had to rely on Sun Yuanhui's understanding of Yinchuan City and his internal response, Kidman still asked Sun Yuanhui's opinion first.
"General Kidman, we have been marching continuously for too long, the soldiers are very tired, and the follow-up troops have not fully caught up, although the resistance in Yinchuan City is not too strong, but my opinion is to make a little repair, lunch in advance, and attack after lunch, I think we can end the battle before dinner." Sun Yuanhui suggested with confidence.
Looking at the head, Kidman agreed with him, in their opinion, taking Yinchuan City was already an ironclad matter, it was just a matter of time.
Sitting in the study, Wu Feng seemed a little absent-minded, although he had considerable trust in Long's own ability, but after all, the time was too urgent, and the distance was so far away, if he wanted to take Yinchuan City in a short period of time and hold on to the attack of the enemy's army together with the defenders in Yinchuan City, in addition to testing the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division, it was also necessary to test the coordination ability of Long Zi, who was the commander of the Fifth Division, and coordinate with other armies in Yinchuan City that had been enemies and not friends to jointly resist the attack of the real enemy, which was the key to testing the ability of an excellent commander。
Even Wu Feng, who had always been steadfast, became a little suspicious in the anxious waiting, but then he encouraged himself to believe in the ability of his subordinates, to believe that they could see the importance of this battle, and that they could understand the key points of this battle.
In order to distract himself, Wu Feng forced himself to put his mind on the seventeenth princess Situ Yutang, who was inspecting Mangye Town in the northwest of Qingyang, this fiancée in his name did not look quite simple, at a young age, she also acted in a good manner, and she actually knew how to buy public opinion, and it seemed that she wanted to slowly take away the prestige of the people in the northwest from her fiancé.
Thinking of this, the corners of Wu Feng's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, she couldn't help but see these problems too simply, especially those nomads, who have been cruising in the Tengger grassland for a long time to survive have already trained their authorities to be more cunning than foxes, and her identity as the princess of the Tang River Empire alone is probably far from enough to impress these guys who are quite good at seeing the wind and steering, they value strength more than the Tang people, if they don't have the strength to back up, even your tongue will not let them waver in the slightest, at this point, Wu Feng sees it more clearly than anyone else。
However, what is hidden behind her still makes Wu Feng moved, judging from the current performance, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess and her fiancé do not want to be in the same boat, she is more like shouldering some kind of long-term mission in the center of the empire, maybe her heart is more focused on the fate of the ethereal Tang River Empire, but to hand over such a major mission to such a weak girl, for her, will it seem too heavy for her immature shoulders?
The two cavalry wings of the Third Garrison Division ambushed five miles outside Yinchuan City behind a hill appeared very calm under the leadership of Jin Zecheng, and the entire unit was lurking and hiding very successfully, except for a group of probe horses that were solved after discovering the problem, the other two groups of probe horses of the enemy army were rough patrols and then walked away, at this time Jin Zecheng had completely recovered the usual general demeanor, and the extreme trust in the commander also made the officers and soldiers move to the point where the orders and prohibitions were like commands, and everything was going according to the pre-set plan。
After lunch, when Sun Yuanhui and Kidman were discussing how to launch an attack in the big tent, two wings of cavalry hidden on the west side outside Yinchuan suddenly appeared on the horizon, and their storm-like impact speed made the coalition forces who were lining up outside Yinchuan to launch a siege battle completely unprepared, and the fatal blow from the side completely disrupted the deployment of the coalition army.
They did not expect that the enemy, whose strength was far inferior to their own, would dare to ambush outside the city and attack first, and the coalition infantry, who had no time to react, were completely stunned by the sudden onslaught of iron cavalry, and the lack of cooperation of the coalition forces also exposed their weaknesses in fighting separately at this time. The overwhelming cavalry came in a surge, and the infantry defense line that was struggling to resist due to the wrong position of the congenital formation, they did not expect that the blow would come from the flank, only after a few rounds of confrontation, Sun Yuanhui's first garrison division retreated first, and the shaking of the defense line of the first garrison division immediately affected Kidman's army, and the cavalry of the horse company battalion would not have the slightest pity for these troops from foreign lands, and after breaking through the defense line of the first garrison division, Jin Zecheng put the main target on the Sithro.
Losing the cover of the 1st Garrison Division, the Siathrow army was still struggling to hold on, but the front was already crumbling, and at this time, thousands of iron horsemen in Yinchuan City, where the city gate was wide open, swarmed out, and after suffering heavy blows from both sides, the Siathrow could no longer organize a complete resistance, and the defense line finally collapsed.
The avalanche-like retreat immediately hit the newly prepared middle and rear army, and the disheartened Sithlo soldiers were no longer willing to stay behind to lay the rearguard for the 1st Garrison Division, and even Kidman could not control his officers, who had long been angry about the gap in the defensive line caused by the 1st Garrison Division's first retreat, and they were unwilling to fight with the "despicable guys" in their mouths, and there was an irreparable rift between the two coalition forces.
