Chapter 227: Encirclement and Reinforcements
"As expected," looking at the secret letter passed on by the flying pigeon, Ning Ze said with a smile, "The situation has been controlled in time, this person is still powerful!"
"Dudu, although the enemy army is not in chaos, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Boping City will drop to the bottom. Xiang Rong clenched his fists and begged, "The last general is willing to lead the troops to attack the city and guarantee to take the city!"
"There's no need. Ning Ze waved his hand to let him retreat, "It's easy to take Boping by force, it's just that it's too expensive." ”
"What is the Governor's plan?" Xiang Yan asked curiously.
"Ding Mu is coming, Ghost Face and Dewey are attacking Changping and Funing respectively, and they will probably be dragged back. Ning Ze thought carefully, "It's better to fly the pigeon to pass the book, call the ghost face, Dewey pretend to retreat, and avoid the ears and eyes of the enemy army and make a detour to Boping." When the crisis in Changping and Funing is resolved, troops will be sent to rescue Boping as soon as possible, but an ambush will be set up to besiege Boping on all sides, and the reinforcements will be attacked! After the reinforcements of the two counties are taken, the city's air defense is weak, and it can be captured in one go! It is also called Boping is isolated and helpless, and there is no power to fight back!"
"Du Du's clever plan!" After listening to the left and right civil and military forces, they all brushed and praised them.
So Ning Ze contacted Wang Wei and Dewey.
After receiving the news from the flying pigeon, after knowing Ning Ze's strategy, the soldiers and horses immediately pretended that there was a fire in the rear, quickly retreated, and even deliberately left a large amount of materials, pretending that it was too late to take them away.
In this era, the intelligence system was not so developed, not to mention that the soldiers and horses of the two counties had been besieged for a long time, and they could not enter and exit, and they knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.
Scouts were sent to investigate, and they found that the enemy troops had completely withdrawn, and even left a large number of supplies, and they walked in a panic.
Although I don't know why the other party retreated, the city still rejoiced.
Then I thought of Boping City's urgent request for help, and thought of Sun Yi, the current owner of Liangzhou, who was trapped in Boping and was in critical condition.
As a subordinate, how could he not send troops to the rescue?
The two counties of Changping and Funing left a small number of soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the main general led the troops to the savior of Boping.
As everyone knows, Wang Wei and Dewey took the first step, avoided the ears and eyes and set off across the sea, and hurried to Ning Ze's location.
The dynamics outside are unknown to the inside of Boping City.
Sun Yi sent a large number of scouts, and once they approached the place where Ning Ze was stationed, they were all discovered and captured by the other party first.
Sun Yi knew that Ning Ze was some distance away from Boping City, so he didn't leave. However, the scouts could not send back specific information, they did not know where the other party was, and they did not dare to send troops to break through without knowing the situation, for fear of being ambushed.
He felt that Ning Ze did not continue to garrison near the city, and the pressure was greatly reduced. If it drags on like this, it should be more advantageous for me as a land snake.
I didn't know Ning Ze's plan to encircle and send reinforcements.
Ding Mu arrived first and joined Ning Zejun.
Soon after, Wang Wei and Dewey each led their troops from the sea and crossed Kangjun to join Ningze.
Ning Ze knew the current situation, if the enemy wanted to bypass his own soldiers and horses to rescue Sun Yi, he had to cross the sea to Funing, and then Funing would send troops to Boping.
Therefore, Wang Wei, Dewey, and Ding Mu were ambushed on the road from Funing to Boping and prepared.
As expected, the soldiers and horses of Changping County followed by waterway, and indeed landed in Funing County.
Funing Tai Changchun had already sent troops, and commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses to rush to Boping to rescue.
Passing near Boshan, there was a sudden ambush.
Ning Ze, Wang Wei, Du Wei, and Ding Mu poured out, blocking the roads in front and behind, and each led the Futu army to rush and kill.
In the face of the invulnerable Futu army, they were already powerless to resist, let alone fall into siege.
Chang Chun tried his best to resist to no avail, and finally died at the hands of Wang Wei, and the Funing army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the rest were all captured.
The main general was killed, and the captured generals and soldiers chose to surrender in order to survive, and were scattered by Ning Ze and assigned to the four routes.
Then the old trick was repeated, and the ambush was laid again.
Changping Taishou Gong Lin arrived in Funing a few days apart, and learned that Funing Taishou had sent troops to rescue, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he quickly led the troops to chase and rushed to Boping.
Passing through Boshan, Ning Ze's army ambushed on all sides and fought again.
Gong Lin was shocked, fell off his horse and trampled to death in the melee, and his generals fought hard, losing more than 3,000 people, and finally surrendered.
In the two ambush battles, Ning Ze's army took advantage of the terrain and the Futu army to kill more than 4,000 enemies, but only 100 people on his side were accidentally injured, and there was no loss, which can be said to be a complete victory.
The encirclement was successful, and the main forces of Changping and Funing counties were directly swallowed, and Sun Yi's support was cut off.
Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan asked for orders, each led 3,000 troops, and issued a military order to seize Changping and Funing.
Ning Ze allowed to transfer 3,000 soldiers and horses to each of them, as well as countless siege equipment.
Xiang Rong went north to attack Changping, Xiang Yan went south to attack Funing, Ning Ze, Wang Wei, Du Wei, and Ding Mu led the four-way army to turn around and surround Boping County, and sent the heads of Changping and Funing counties to the enemy.
The generals defending the city were in a big mess, and hurriedly took the head to see Sun Yi, and came to the lobby of the official office to report in a panic: "Young envoy, big and big things are not good! Ning Ze's soldiers and horses have increased several times, and they have surrounded the east, south, and west gates respectively, leaving the north gate alone, and sending two or two first-level ......."
Before the head was presented to the case, Sun Yi ordered someone to open it, and saw Chang Chun and Gong Lin who were dizzy.
The military officials under the hall were also shocked, and they were expecting reinforcements from Changping and Funing to come over to relieve the siege, and no matter how bad it was, it could reduce some of the pressure. Who would have thought that the soldiers and horses on both sides would be wiped out by Ning Ze, wiping out all hopes.
In other words, there are no more available troops in the entire Liangzhou, and Boping County is isolated and hopeless.
In this case, a civilian official came out to suggest that since Ning Ze's soldiers and horses did not surround the north gate, it was better to lead the troops to escape from the north gate and try to escape to the sea and take refuge in other states and counties by boat.
In the current situation, it is impossible to confront Ning Ze. The morale of the army and civilians in Boping City has fallen to the bottom, not to mention that all the enemy's large forces have arrived, Ning Ze alone can't bear it all the way, can he still fight now?
When the opponent's army converged, Ning Ze did not need the Futu army to attack the city. Although he cherishes the Futu Army, ordinary soldiers and horses don't care so much.
What's more, the armies of Changping and Funing were destroyed, and there was bound to be a surrender army. In case Ning Ze forced the surrendered army to forcibly attack the city and let their own people fight their own people, the situation would be even worse.
Since he is powerless to resist, he will not be able to hold on to Boping County sooner or later, so it is better to find an opportunity to escape. Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, retain your strength and take refuge in any of the princes, and find an opportunity to fight back to Liangzhou in the future.
This suggestion made Sun Yi a little shaken, he was really scared by Ning Ze, especially the various "spells" shown before. Now that the enemy army is here, the morale of the city is low, and even the confidence to hold the city is gone.
At this time, Chu Hong came out and said: "Young Envoy, Ning Ze deliberately left the north gate, just waiting for us to leave the city." If you break through from the north gate, you will definitely hit the plan!"
Sun Yi is not stupid, he just didn't think carefully in a panic just now. Hearing Chu Hong say this, he immediately reacted.
The reason why Ning Ze did not block all the gates of the four roads of Boping City and deliberately set aside the north gate was to lure himself out of the city.
Blocked the four roads before, because there are reinforcements outside, and you can defend in the city. Now that the armies of Changping and Funing have been broken, Chang Chun and Gong Lin's heads are in front of them, and they have lost any support.
If the other party blocks the four gates, the other side has no choice but to fight to the death, which may arouse morale.
Therefore, the north gate was left, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city could see as if there was a glimmer of hope, and they would not fall into a situation of death war.
Secondly, although the north gate is kept, there must be some arrangements.
Once your troops and horses go out from the north gate, they will be ambushed 100%.
It's a dead end, it's not good!
Sun Yi looked at Chu Hong and asked anxiously, "Does Mr. have a clever plan?"
Before Chu Hong could speak, a civil official next to him stood up: "Young Envoy, now that Ning Ze's army has surrounded me, I have no power to resist." It's better to surrender ...... Kaesong."
"Shut up!" Yan Tao was furious when he heard this, and stood up and reprimanded, "You are waiting for the young envoy to be a gentleman, and you should share your worries for it, how can you be those two ministers and thieves?"
The civil official immediately retreated in shame, but most of the officials on the scene had unnatural expressions.
Sun Yi can understand that even if he sticks to Boping County, I'm afraid he won't be able to last long.
It's normal for the people below to think this way.
Fortunately, most of them are loyal.
Thinking of this, he turned to Chu Hong to consult with his eyes.
Chu Hong sighed and arched his hand and said: "Now the situation is critical, our army is unstable, and there are no reinforcements outside. But I can surrender, but the young envoy can't! Then Sun Jun took refuge in Ning Ze to lead the troops to attack, and the brotherhood has long been severed, and once he surrenders, he will never leave the young envoy. At present, we can only strengthen the city's defenses and think carefully about countermeasures. ”
"That makes sense!" Sun Yi sighed, "I have no brotherly relationship with Sun Jun for a long time, if you descend to Ning Ze, you will be victimized." Mr. Chu has helped me out of crisis several times, and this time I need to do more to come up with a clever plan for me. And all of you, we will be both prosperous and lossy, and we hope to work together. ”
"Don't worry, the young envoy can rest assured! Xiaguan and Boping County will live and die together!!" the civil and military officials on the left and right spoke in unison.
"Young envoy," Yan Tao came out and said, "At present, Liangzhou is in a predicament, and the situation is critical. Xizhou Chubai is adjacent to me, so it is better to send someone to break through and ask for an alliance. If you unite with Chu Bai and take care of each other, you may have a glimmer of life!"
"Chu Bai is a defeated soldier under Ning Ze, and now he is being overwhelmed by his own family, even if he joins forces, what's the use?" Sun Yi shook his head.
"It's better than the current situation. Yan Tao replied.
"This ...... What do you think?" Sun Yi looked around at everyone.
The lower officials and generals of the hall look at me, I look at you, there is no better way, so they replied one after another: "The lower officials seconded the proposal!"
Since this is the case, Sun Yi looked around and looked at his henchman Luan Bing: "Can the Luanjiang army dare to lead troops to break through?"
"The young envoy has an order, how can the last general not obey?" Luan Bing responded loudly.
"Okay! Now that the situation is urgent, I hope General Luan will live up to his trust!"
"Whoa!"
Luan Bing was ordered to set off and led his troops to try to break through from the north gate.
Ning Ze got the news and ordered Luan Bing to leave.
Because doing so can leave the other party with a little more hope.
As long as there is a little hope, Boping City will not fight to the death, and it will be easier to win.
As for asking Chu Bai for help, it is difficult for the people to protect themselves, where can they take care of Liangzhou.
