Chapter 208: Sweeping the Southern Front (4)
Pingguo City (near today's Gaizhou), was established in the twelfth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, it was the second most important town in Liaodong in addition to Xiangping City, the population reached more than 200,000 at the time, however, since Gongsun Du divided Liaodong, in order to ensure the dominance of Xiangping City, deliberately weakened the good life of Pingguo City, and moved a large number of people to Xiangping, In Anshi and other places, to the sixth year of Jian'an, there were only less than 80,000 people left in the area of Pingguo City, and the number of residents in the city was reduced to less than 40,000, even so, it is still the core city overlooking the Liaodong Peninsula, and the strategic position is quite important, but because there is no maritime threat in the surrounding area, Gongsun Du does not pay much attention to this city, and the garrison in the city is only 3,500 people, and the garrison general Qi Ming is just a general.
In the case that the station is not taken seriously, the promotion is naturally basically hopeless, Qi Ming is naturally not very concerned about military affairs such as defense and military training, and basically just has to get by and live, even if Gongsun Du repeatedly asks for strong walls and clear fields everywhere, Qi Ming doesn't care much, just casually perfunctory things around the city, and only cares about the cat drinking and having fun in the house every day, no, it's just a day, Qi Ming drinks in the city guard mansion again.
"Report, general, Anshi city was suddenly attacked by the thief army, the city defense has been in danger, the last general was ordered by the commander of Gongsun to break through desperately, came to the general to report to the urgency, the existing commander sent an order here, please take a look at the general. β
Just as Qi Ming was drinking, a Liaodong military marquis suddenly rushed into the lobby in a hurry, bowed to Qi Ming, and reported anxiously.
"What?"
Hearing that Anshi City was attacked, Qi Ming's wine was half awake, he exclaimed, hurriedly reached out and took the troop transfer letter in the hand of the military marquis, tore open the seal indiscriminately, took out a piece of paper from the inside, and after passing it quickly, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to see.
"General, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, the commander has an order, please don't delay the general. β
Seeing that Qi Ming's face was changing from red to white, but he was reluctant to make a decision, the military marquis who came to give the order was obviously in a hurry, and then he urged from the side.
"Hmm...... Come on, drum and gather!"
Qi Ming's promotion is hopeless, he has long lost his fighting spirit, and he doesn't want to send troops to save Gongsun Wu at all, but after thinking about it, if the Youzhou army is repulsed, I am afraid that the consequences of not saving him will not be able to bear the burden of seeing death this time, and in desperation, he can only go to Anshi City to go to a while, of course, he does not plan to rush, and deliberately plays a trick of a general, in order to delay some more time, as for arriving at Anshi City, whether to fight or not, and just talk about it.
After procrastinating to finish the pre-war military discussion, and pretended to deploy the battle plan, at the end, there was really no reason to delay it any longer, Qi Ming had to lead his troops out of Pingguo City at noon, and deliberately lowered the marching degree along the way, and walked for a full hour and a half, but only advanced less than 20 miles, the whole army was listless, and the army of only 3,500 was actually dragged a full mile away, and the formation was so loose that it was not uniform, so that Zhang He, who had been in ambush for a long time in the ambush place, could not believe that this army would be the regular army of the Liaodong Armyγ
"The whole army is attacking, kill!"
Although he didn't quite understand why the Liaodong army in front of him was so loose, but since the meat had been sent to the door, Zhang He didn't bother to think about it so much, and when he saw that Qi Ming's general had already marched into his own ambush circle, Zhang He immediately shouted and led his troops to rush out of the forest beside the road.
"It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw, withdraw quickly!"
Qi Ming was dozing off on horseback, Leng Buding heard the sound wrong, and hurriedly opened his eyes, this time he saw Zhang He rushing like a tiger coming down the mountain, he couldn't help but panic, how dare he step forward to fight, twisted the horse, and exclaimed that he was about to flee in the direction of Pingguo City.
"Poof!"
Qi Ming was too relaxed before, but his thoughts were nervous at this time, but his hands and feet were a little disobedient, he had just turned the horse, and before he could raise his whip and escape, Zhang He had already killed the horse to the front, only one shot, and Qi Ming had already strung Qi Ming on the tip of the gun, and then flung it, the unlucky Qi Ming had already fallen to the ground with blood all the way, and before he struggled to get up, he had already been killed by a fast-eyed Youzhou cavalryman.
"Don't kill me, I'll wait. β
"Spare your life, spare your life!"
"It's falling, it's falling!"
......
Qi Ming rarely trained in the past, and the 3,500 soldiers and horses under his command were all soft-footed crabs, and there was no combat effectiveness at all, and Qi Ming, the main general, had already died tragically on the spot......
Compared with Qi Ming's laziness of the Pingguo City Order, Gao Cheng, the county commander of Fangxian County, is undoubtedly much more diligent, although he does not think that the Youzhou army will come to attack Fangxian at the near and far, but in line with the principle of being prepared, when deploying defense, he completely followed the instructions of Gongsun Du, not only gathered all the people from all the towns and eight miles to Fangxian County, but also vigorously organized the people to repair the city defense, reorganize the army, and was very busy every day.
"Report, Lord Gao, it's not good, the thief army raided Anshi City, Gongsun Governor Marshal led his troops to resist desperately, however, outnumbered, the city defense is in danger, the commander has an order: Gao Daren did his best to meet the troops of Fang County and General Ping Guo Qi's department, and went to aid Anshi City as soon as possible. β
Just when Gao Cheng was busy on the city, he saw a Liaodong army marquis rushing from the northeast, only a little delay at the city gate, and after checking the defense, he rushed to the city and rushed to Gao Cheng's body.
"Come, hurry, blow the trumpet, order all the departments to assemble immediately, and rush to Pingguo City!"
Gao Cheng and Gongsun Wu are sons and daughters, each other is very close, at this time I heard that Gongsun Wu is in trouble, Gao Cheng did not study the reason at all, only to see the handwriting and seals on the transfer order are genuine, immediately immediately issued a general order, do not spin the heel, then listen to the horn sounded wildly, scattered in the city more than 3,000 Liaodong Army soldiers immediately flew to the direction of the west city to gather in the past, only took a half incense time, the team of people and horses neatly opened out of the west gate of Fang County, hurriedly to the direction of Pingguo City......
