Section 136 Wait and see
The whole night was spent in an atmosphere of almost suffocation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is true for both sides, and even more so for the citizens of Gushi City.
We all know that in the battle during the day, the Gushi army won the defensive battle with great difficulty, and tried not to lose the city, but the city wall was broken by the Caizhou military magic siege hammer in three places, and the city was almost broken, and this situation could not be hidden.
Even if it was martial law, it was difficult to avoid this situation in the gentry who were hiding in the deep mansion with trepidation.
These circumstances have made the gentry mixed, happy that they finally repelled the Caizhou soldiers, and worried that they almost broke the city on the first day, so what about tomorrow?
Although Jiang Feng had already informed the Huang family, the representative of the Gwangju gentry, and the Chen family, the representative of the local gentry of Gushi, it was difficult for these gentry to fully believe that for them, seeing is believing, and only when the Caizhou army really withdrew, the big stone in their hearts would be put down.
The scouts have already been spilled out.
Observing the changes in the Caizhou army camp became the most important task of the scouts, and soon the scouts found that a large number of Caizhou army scouts appeared along the line of the muddy water, and then a large number of baggage soldiers were escorted by the cavalry, and took the lead out of the camp to the west, heading straight for the muddy water.
The situation became clear at once, and the heavy troops went first, apparently to prepare for the westward crossing of the muddy water, which meant that the Caizhou army would no longer follow the road from which it came, but would turn west into Gwangju.
It is not known whether he will stay in Gwangju or continue north to return to Chaju after arriving in Gwangju.
But one thing is certain, the Caizhou army is going to withdraw its troops.
This night, the Caizhou cavalry also made frequent sorties and was not allowed to rest.
Night attacks and ambushes are the most dangerous, especially for the Caizhou army that is about to move in at night, but Yuan Wuwei also judged that at present, I am afraid that the Gushi army does not have the ability to attack and fight at night.
Needless to say, even if it is the hundreds of cavalry of the Gushi Army, as long as the Caizhou cavalry is on guard, the Gushi cavalry will not be able to please them.
Moreover, Yuan Wuwei didn't think that with Jiang Feng's shrewdness, he wouldn't fail to understand how meaningful it was to attack the Caizhou army in such a situation, and he should be able to understand the current situation.
Therefore, Yuan Wuwei dared to lead the army at night so boldly.
Unsurprisingly, despite the constant scout encounters, the Gushi cavalry never appeared.
The sound of hooves trampling, the wheels are on the wheels.
Scouts and cavalry were constantly speeding past on both sides in the darkness.
Seeing that Yuan Wuwei's face was always gloomy, Yuan Wuxing couldn't help but ask, "The third brother is still worried about the Western Front?"
Yuan Wuwei shook his head, "The Western Front is indeed very dangerous, and I can also be sure that the focus of Daliang's attack will be on the Western Front, because this is the place where we can not get the most support, so I will leave these thousands of troops to use on the Western Front, if it is consumed under Gushi City tomorrow, what can we do if we take Gushi City?"
"If the third brother is not worried about the Western Front, then it is ......" Yuan Wuwei heard that Yuan Wuwei was still confident in the battle on the Western Front, and he was also a little puzzled, not worried about the Western Front, so why? Yuan Wuwei did not look like a person who was indifferent to personal gains and losses.
"Gu Shijun, and Jiang Feng. Yuan Wuwei's tone was dry, "Old Seven, do you know, I have a hunch, I'm afraid that if we go, I'm afraid that we won't have a chance to win Gushi." ”
Yuan Wuxing was slightly surprised, "The third brother thinks so highly of Jiang Feng?"
"Well, I don't think I've ever underestimated him, hmph, 13,000 people came to Gushi to fight such a small county, and they actually returned with a feather, do you think you can believe it before that?" Yuan Wuwei asked rhetorically: "I thought I had a high opinion of him, but in the end I found that I still underestimated him." ”
Yuan Wuxing couldn't answer this question for a while, with 13,000 troops, didn't he feel a little bit like a knife killing a chicken at the beginning?
This is still the premise that he has repeatedly reminded the master of the family that the solid beginning cannot be underestimated, and even he feels that the 13,000 troops are the momentum of crushing the eggs with a boulder, but he didn't expect that the eggs were not crushed, but they also collapsed a few boulders.
"Third brother, Jiang Feng is indeed a difficult character to deal with, but Gushi's projectile land restricts him, as long as we breathe our breath, he will definitely have no chance next time. Yuan Wuxing comforted.
"Old Seven, I'm afraid you don't believe this, right?" Yuan Wuwei laughed, and returned to his previous cold and free spirit, "What will we achieve in this battle with Daliang, and when will we fight, we can't help it, when we really breathe and get out, what do you think Jiang Feng will always be waiting for us here?"
"If he's not here, where else can he go? At most, let him take a Yin City, Yin Cheng City has few broken people, and it doesn't mean much to the Gu Shi Army. Yuan Wuxing's face suddenly changed slightly, and he couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly and catch up, "Third brother, do you mean that Jiang Feng wants to fight outside of Guangzhou? Shouzhou, Huangzhou?"
Yuan Wuwei shook his head, his eyes were clear, he looked into the darkness in the distance, and said leisurely: "If it is an ordinary person, it is impossible, and it is too late to recuperate, but Jiang Feng, don't you think this person has a great gambling nature? I always dare to put everything on my own to gamble, so I can't see through this person, whether it is Shouzhou or Huangzhou, it is possible, and even our Gwangzhou, Yingzhou in the north, maybe this guy will find a chance to stretch out a hand to go in." ”
"Third brother, are you exaggerating too much? In such a short period of time, Jiang Feng is afraid that he may not even be able to stand firm in Gushi,......" Yuan Wuxing's words even felt that he himself was not confident enough, how could Jiang Feng be confined to such a reason?
So Yuan Wuwei also heard the uncertainty in Yuan Wuxing's words, and smiled: "Then let's wait and see, we don't have the energy to ask this side in the near future." ”
When Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuxing thought that they had seen Jiang Feng's nature and confidence clearly, Jiang Feng was actually overwhelmed by all this.
Another sleepless night, and he couldn't sleep.
The scout is passing on the intelligence information like a stream, and he needs to make judgments and decisions at the first time.
The Caizhou army really withdrew, and it was withdrawn overnight, and all the main forces were all the way to the west, and it is estimated that they will cross the muddy water tomorrow morning and go straight to Gwangju.
It seems that Yuan Wuwei is also aware of the huge crisis brought about by the layout of the Great Liang on the Western Front, but Jiang Feng estimates that Yuan Wuwei is too late.
Even if Yuan Wuwei withdrew his troops overnight, the problem was that from Gushi to the line of Langshan-Wufang-Xiping, these thousands of troops would have to travel for at least five or six days, and they still needed to be trained halfway, and it was obviously impossible for Daliang to give him so much time.
Once Daliang launches an attack, I am afraid that the sky will collapse and the earth will be shattered, and Caizhou will be crippled and scrapped on this line.
Although this line is not the richest area in Caizhou, it is also a county that has been operated in Caizhou for a long time, and the Great Liang Army is afraid that it will not only be as simple as an ant thief to plunder and leave, but also to completely destroy Caizhou's war potential.
When I learned that all the Caizhou troops had returned to the west, it was already nearly the middle of the day.
Not only did Jiang Feng not sleep, but even most of the gentry and merchants in Gushi City slept, and in Jiang Feng's command and envoy's mansion, Chen Wei and Huang Jing, the representative of the Huang clan in Gwangju, even accompanied Jiang Feng and waited.
"Lord Chen, Mr. Huang, you can go back and sleep peacefully, the Caizhou army has all left, the front has arrived at the muddy water and started to cross westward, it is estimated that before noon tomorrow, the Caizhou army will all cross the muddy water. ”
Jiang Feng stretched his waist a little indecently, pulling the wound, so that he couldn't help but grin.
Chen Wei and Huang Jing looked at each other and smiled, stood up at the same time, and bowed, "Then congratulations to the commander, this battle has finally been won, and our Gushi people can finally breathe a sigh of relief, I don't know when this martial law will be lifted?"
"It can be lifted early tomorrow morning, the two of you can rest assured, Da Liang has already started a war against Caizhou on the third front, Caizhou is now too busy to take care of himself, maybe Nanyang may also be interested in Gwangju. Jiang Feng smiled.
Chen Wei and Huang Jing looked at each other, Huang Jing was most concerned about the situation in Gwangju, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Commander, do you say that the Nanyang Liu family will move troops to Gwangju?"
"No, Mr. Huang, I didn't say that, I just said that Nanyang may be interested, and this interest will change according to the progress of the war between Daliang and Caizhou, if the war is not good for Caizhou, then Nanyang's interest in Gwangju may become very great. Jiang Feng spread his hands, "It's really hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing." ”
Jiang Feng's words are right, if Nanyang Liu's family really won Gwangju, it would really be impossible for Gwangju to go back to the past.
The power of the Nanyang gentry has always been strong, and even most of the wives of Erliu Ping have to marry the daughters of the local gentry, and these gentry have always supported Erliu's external expansion and sought more benefits.
Now that Gwangju has been swept away by the Caizhou army, if they are obtained by Nanyang, they can just take everything for themselves with peace of mind, without having to bear any moral responsibility, because they obtained it from the Yuan family.
Huang Jing's expression was complicated, and he nodded silently, this truth can be understood with a little thought, in a sense, now the Huang family really wants to expect Caizhou not to lose too badly in the battle with Daliang, so that the Nanyang Liu family will also take the opportunity to take Guangzhou, then the dust will really settle.
The best way is to drag it out like this, until the Gushi army can have a chance to recover Gwangju, which is the most in line with the interests of the Huang family, but this time is probably too long, holding Gushi and capturing Gwangju are completely two different concepts, this may just be a beautiful vision.
"Okay, it's a little too early to talk about this, let's go back and rest, and you can also tell the others the news, so that everyone in the city can sleep peacefully, and to be honest, I need to get a good night's sleep too." ”
Jiang Feng clapped his hands and sent off the guests.
He really needed some sleep, too. (To be continued.) )
