Chapter 140: The Battle of Miao County
Ning Ze's army won a complete victory, capturing 50,000 enemy troops and capturing countless resources.
Jin Rong's subordinates Fan Sheng, Helianjin, Zhu Dai, Chai Ding, and Dai Yuan surrendered, and all the prisoners were recruited, and Ningze's soldiers and horses reached 100,000 people, advancing towards Gaoli County.
Jin Rong was defeated and returned, and more than half of the 150,000 troops were lost, and Zheng Mian was shocked.
The Lin family was furious and wanted to kill Jin Rong.
Cheng Sun persuaded: "Don't kill the general now, you can put him down for the time being, and then make plans when Ning Ze is repulsed." ”
So Lin asked Zheng Mian to order Jin Rong to be dismissed and put in prison for the time being. At the same time, Zheng Mian's uncle and Lin Yuanzhi, Lin's brother, were appointed as generals.
Knowing that Ning Ze now had 100,000 troops approaching Gao Li, Zheng Mian urgently asked Cheng Sun how to resist.
Cheng Sun replied: "Ning Ze has won a big victory, and his morale is booming! And he has an army of 100,000 people, and he is not capable of fighting the enemy." The lord can recruit the soldiers and horses of the other four armies to defend Gaoli and hold on to the city. ”
"The enemy army is strong, Jin Rong is defeated, how to defend the city?" asked Lin.
Cheng Sun replied: "Gaoli City has strong walls and sufficient military rations, so he can't fly in even if he gives birth to wings!"
"Even if he guards the city, if he doesn't retreat, what can he do?" Lin asked again.
"The soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou will be able to defeat Dewey! We only need to hold on, and when the soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou come back and outflank us, Ning Ze will be defeated!" Cheng Sun was full of confidence.
Zheng Mian once again mobilized Hanzhou soldiers and horses to arrive in Gaoli and held on to the city.
Ning Ze's army arrived in Gaoli, and the general Helianjin asked for orders to attack the city.
So with Helian Jin as the vanguard, Fan Sheng, Zhu Dai, Ran Cao, Chai Ding, and Dai Yuan were ordered to assist and lead the troops to the battle.
The six generals were courteous to Ning Ze, grateful to Dade, and led the troops to storm the city.
It's just that Gaoli City is strong and can't be attacked for a long time.
Ning Zejun was temporarily stationed forty miles outside the city, facing it from a distance.
On the other side, Yuanzhou Thorn Shi Su personally led troops to reinforce and joined forces with Fang Ping.
The opponent had many soldiers, and Yu Song persuaded Dewey not to attack.
Dewey asked how to retreat.
After thinking about it, Yu Song whispered: "The soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou are all in Danyang, Su Jun and Fang Ping are here, and the territory is empty. It can make Zhao Qing set up a virtual army so that he does not dare to act rashly, and we will lead the troops to sneak into Yuanzhou and pretend to be an enemy army to attack Miao County!"
Dewey listened to Yu Song's strategy, so he let Zhao Qing stay behind, planted sheng flags in the forest, and set up countless scarecrows to lay out false soldiers. He led the army by himself, and cooperated with Yu Song to quietly detour to Yuanzhou.
When they arrived in Yuanzhou, the former army changed into captured Yuanzhou military uniforms, deceived the switch Kaqi to attack and occupy, and quickly rushed to Miao County.
In the middle of the night, the defenders of Miao County were patrolling the city wall, and suddenly found a group of soldiers and horses approaching and quickly put them on guard.
When the other party approached, he found that it was his own troops, so he asked loudly on the city wall: "Which department do you belong to?"
"General," someone shouted in front, "we are waiting for the order of the envoy to come to collect grain! The enemy army has attacked our granary, causing the army to be burned, and we are in urgent need of grain and grass at the moment!"
"Is there a token paperwork?"
"It's in a hurry, only the lord's mouth is a message!"
"How can I trust you without a token document?"
"The battle ahead is tight, so we can only act expediently! General Fang has sent guards around him, and he can testify!"
It turned out that in the previous battle, the chaotic Fang Ping's cronies and guards were captured and just happened to be used.
"Hurry up and open the door!" Fang Ping's guard walked to the front and shouted with his head up.
Behind him, someone secretly held a sword against him, but he was stabbed to death on the spot.
In order to survive, you can only cooperate.
The city recognized the guards by the light of the fire, and opened the gates.
The army entered Miao County and launched a surprise attack, killing the soldiers defending the city.
Dewey personally led his troops to attack the defenders of the city.
The soldiers and horses in the city failed to react, they were beaten dizzy, and when they woke up, the city had been occupied by Dewey, and the Taishou of Miao County was also pulled out by Dewey and cut down directly.
The civil and military officials who refused to surrender were all beheaded, and the rest could only be honest and obedient in order to survive.
Dewey occupies Miao County and asks Yu Song what to do next.
After thinking about it, Yu Song suggested that Dewey find a family member in Miao County from among the surrendered officials, take his family as a hostage, and turn around and return to Danyang directly while Su Jun had not yet discovered that Miao County was occupied. Let this official deceive the Danyang City and launch a surprise attack.
So Dewey selected one of the surrendering officials and ordered him to go with the army.
In order to save his family's life, the official had no choice but to agree.
When Dewey attacked Miao County, he blocked the road and forbade the leakage of news.
In this era of closed news, it is not too difficult to do.
The army turned around and moved towards Danyang, and soon arrived at the county seat of Danyang.
When the night was dark and the wind was high, the front army changed into Yuanzhou military uniforms and ordered the surrendering officials to lead the way and arrive at the city gate.
The defenders of the city inquired about their identities, and the officials showed a document stamped with the official seal of the Taishou of Miao County, saying that it was the arrival of military rations.
Miao County was breached, Taishou was killed, and the official seal naturally fell into the hands of Dewey.
The defenders checked the paperwork and found no problems after checking it, so they believed it and opened the city gate directly.
Dewey immediately led his troops into the city and ordered people to set fire to them.
Su Jun and Fang Ping heard the movement and hurriedly led their troops to check, but when they met Dewey, they were immediately shocked.
Dewey immediately charged his horse and quickly chased after Shang Ping, stabbing him to death after five rounds of engagement.
Then broke through the encirclement of the enemy generals and killed Su Jun directly.
Su Jun saw Dewey rushing left and right, invincible, and came to the front in a blink of an eye, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly turned around and fled.
Dewey chased after Su Jun's golden armor.
After a while, no one can stop it.
Seeing that Dewey was in hot pursuit, his henchman Feng Ning said, "Lord, please take off your armor!"
Su Jun hurriedly took off his golden armor, and after Feng Ning changed into it, he fled in different directions towards Su Jun.
Dewey really hit the trick and turned around to catch up with Feng Ning.
Su Jun took the opportunity to blend in with the chaotic army and quickly evacuated.
Dewey caught up with Feng Ning and shouted, "Su Jun is killed!"
Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, Feng Ning immediately turned his horse's head and raised his knife to meet the battle, only to be stabbed to death by Dewey with a spear.
Dewey got off the horse to check and found that it was not Su Jun who died, and then he realized that he had fallen for the plan.
Yu Song rushed over and said to Dewey: "It's a pity that Su Jun escaped by using the golden cicada to escape from his shell! We can take off this set of golden armor and lie that Su Jun is dead." ”
Dewey heeded the suggestion, ordered someone to take off Su Jun's golden armor, and shouted around with a gun: "Su Jun is dead!
The soldiers and horses of Yuanzhou, who were already very chaotic, were even more frightened and had no desire to fight.
Many generals gave up resistance and led their subordinates to surrender. Su Jun and Fang Ping are both dead, how can the dragons meet the enemy without a leader?
There were also some generals who were more loyal, knowing that there was no way to continue the battle in this situation, and led the soldiers to retreat from the West Gate and flee from Danyang.
Dewey's soldiers and horses successfully recaptured Danyang County, welcomed Zhao Qing into the city, ordered him to lead his troops to defend the town, and chased the army out of the city with Yu Song, and drove Su Jun to Miao County.
Su Jun didn't know that Miao County had been occupied by Dewey, and when he arrived at Miao County, he would be attacked from front to back.
Escaping from Danyang City, Su Jun gathered the defeated troops.
Knowing that Su Jun was not dead, his subordinates gathered one after another to reorganize the army.
Dewey in the rear suddenly killed, and after the disastrous defeat of the army, Su Jun did not dare to carry it, so he sent his henchmen to lead the troops to the palace, and the main force fled at full speed.
Dewey killed the soldiers and horses behind the palace and pursued them closely.
All the way to Miao County, Su Jun ordered the city gate to be opened.
The city gate was wide open, and suddenly a cannon rang out, and the city quickly changed flags, and a huge Du character was raised, and the army rushed out.
Su Jun's face changed drastically, and he couldn't understand how Miao County was occupied by Dewey.
Behind him, Dewey himself led his troops to chase him, and in front of him were Dewey's soldiers and horses, and his plan to enter the city to rest and recuperate failed.
Although he couldn't figure out the situation, Su Jun still decisively ordered to turn around and run wildly and retreat in the direction of Yuanjun in Yuanzhou.
Dewey traveled day and night, chasing all the way to the border of Yuan County.
Kill the soldiers and horses of Yuanjun in front and rescue Su Jun.
The two armies fought fiercely, and Dewey led his troops to charge several times without success.
After all, the army came from Danyang, and there was little downtime along the way, and Su Jun was in hot pursuit, so the soldiers were tired.
The other side was stationed here to wait for work, and there were more troops than Dewey.
No matter how strong Dewey was, he couldn't lead his troops to defeat the opponent in a tired state.
In desperation, he could only give up Su Jun and retreat temporarily, watching the other party flee under the cover of Yuanzhou's soldiers and horses.
Dewey retreated to Miao County and was shocked to learn that Ning Ze had defeated Jin Rong's 150,000 army with less and more, and now his strength had skyrocketed to 100,000.
I thought I had a brilliant victory, but I found that I couldn't compare with it at all.
So he asked Yu Song what to do next.
Yu Song said: "Now the young general's revenge has been avenged, and Fang Ping has died. It's just that he also offended Yuanzhou Assassin Shi Sujun, and the other party suffered another big defeat and lost Miao County, so he won't give up! After going back to repair, he will definitely lead a large army to come. The major general can order people to strengthen the city wall and send troops to garrison the checkpoint. As long as we can hold Miao County and repel the enemy army, then we can capture Yuan, Luliang, and Yong'an in one go! The general occupies Chengzhou and Yuanzhou, and Ning Zhonglang occupies Jinzhou and Hanzhou, and they are each other's lips and teeth, and they are not afraid of the princes of the world!"
Dewey listened to Yu Song's advice and immediately ordered the fortification of the city's defenses.
Su Jun fled back to Yuanjun in embarrassment, and was extremely angry. So he summoned the civil and military, rectified the soldiers and horses, and sent 80,000 troops to kill Miao County.
Dewey learned that Su Jun had brought his troops to kill him and went out of the city to line up.
The two sides fought in front of the battle, and Su Jun's generals Luo Jiang, Li Yong, Shi Hui, and Feng Bin besieged Dewey in a wheel battle.
As a result, he was killed by Dewey.
Su Jun was shocked, did not dare to fight, and ordered the army to attack.
Dewey retreated to the city and fought fiercely with Su Jun for a long time.
Su Jun failed to attack and ordered a man-made catapult.
Dewey hurriedly asked Yu Song how to deal with it.
Yu Song suggested building a fire crossbow to attack the catapult.
It turned out that he learned the ballista manufacturing method by Ning Ze's side, and also knew the use of fire crossbows.
Dewey asked Yu Song to supervise the production of a fire crossbow to use against the catapult, and the opponent successfully destroyed the catapult after dispatching the catapult.
The catapult is a wooden deconstructed, and the fire crossbow shoots at a long distance, and the fire oil can be easily shot onto the catapult to ignite it.
The catapult that was finally made was destroyed, and Su Jun was furious, so he dispatched a city truck to attack Miao County.
Yu Song offered Dewey to use rockets to force back the siegers.
The two sides fought extremely fiercely in Miao County, and the battle was raging.
