; Chapter 399 Accident

Shangguan Xiu looked at everyone and said, "I don't care what you all plan, I have already decided to send troops to Ningjun, and I will never change it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if you don't want to protect your family and defend the country, at the very least, you should ask yourself, are you worthy of the spirit of those 200,000 brothers in heaven?!"

Hearing this, Luo Renzhan Xiong, An Yifu, Hu Chong and others were silent. The reason to avenge the 200,000 fallen brothers in battle is something they cannot oppose under any circumstances. Kong Di cleared his throat and said, "My lord, I think it's not that we don't want to avenge our brothers now, but we really can't do it. At present, the people are very enthusiastic about joining the army, and I believe that it will not be long before our army will be able to resume its full strength, and when that time comes, it will be more secure to send troops to Ningjun. ”

Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled, and said: "When the establishment is full, I'm afraid you will say that there are too many recruits in the army, and the combat strength is too weak, and you will wait until the recruits are trained and mature before sending troops north, right? If you want to delay, there can be many excuses, and they are endless, and if you really make up your mind, no matter how many reasons you have, it is not a reason." I've made up my mind, you wait, don't persuade anymore, go back!"

"My lord......" Kong Di was about to speak, and Shangguan Qingyan on the side sighed twice, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ah Xiu is the chief general of the Zhenjun army, Ah Xiu's decision, you don't support it as a subordinate, and you join forces to obstruct it, but you can't force the palace?"

Her understatement scared Kong Di a lot, and he shivered, hurriedly knelt on his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare, I don't have the intention of forcing the palace!" The chapter héiyāпgê has been updated

Shangguan Xiu glanced at Shangguan Qingyan, walked up to Kong Di, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Qingyan is young, nothing less, Mr. Kong doesn't have to take her unintentional words seriously." ”

Dongzhe has now seen that Shangguan Xiu wants to send troops to aid Ning Jun, not to show it to the imperial court, but to make a decision from his heart, in this case, no matter who tries to persuade him, it is useless.

He bowed his hand and said in a loud voice: "Our army has been fighting again and again, and it is exhausted, and the Ningnan army is even more so, sending troops to Ningjun to fight to the death with the Ningnan army, this battle, our army is not without fighting!"

Luo Ren and the others on the side had their noses crooked, they had originally discussed, and they came together to persuade Brother Xiu not to send troops to Ningjun, but now it's good, Dongzhe was the first to make the wall grass.

Shangguan Xiu sneered, patted Dongzhe's shoulder, and praised: "Well, this still sounds like what my Zhenjun army soldiers should say, okay, okay, everyone go back, make preparations before the battle, in the near future, our army may go out at any time." ”

"Yes, sir!" Dongzhe nodded in response.

Everyone left the county governor's mansion and arrived outside the gate, and Luo Ren couldn't wait to kick Dongzhe.

He frowned and walked up to Dong Zhe, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Dong Zhe, you have become too fast, before meeting Brother Xiu, we said that we should be the same, why did you suddenly change your hexagram again?"

Dongzhe smiled bitterly and said: "General Luo, in fact, Miss Qingyan is right, the adults have made up their minds, if we repeatedly obstruct the opposition and force the adults to make concessions, it will really become a forced palace, this is a big taboo, you must not do it!"

Hu Chong and Kong Di pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, stepped forward, and said, "Since the Lord has made up his mind to send troops to aid Ning County, now, what we should consider is not how to stop the Lord, but how to win this battle." ”

Luo Ren took a deep breath, sighed faintly, and said, "That's all it takes." "Is it really worth it to avenge the death of 200,000 brothers who died in battle, and now to risk the lives of another 200,000 brothers?

The question in his mind is something that no one can answer, and in fact, there is no answer to this question, and there will never be an answer.

Just when the Zhenjun army was actively preparing for war and preparing to send troops to aid Ningjun, in the north of the Wind Country, the most important and famous battle at the end of the national war occurred, the Battle of Ulan.

Ulan is a place name, located at the junction of Feng County, Ning County, Feng County, Mo County, and Yu County, and can be said to be the most important transportation hub in the north of Feng Country. The Ulan region is vast, with plains in the north, lofty mountains on the east and west sides, swamps in the south, and Ulan City in the center.

If the Ningnan army wants to capture the entire territory of the Wind Country, Ulan is a strategic place that they must take. Of course, the Wind Country also knew the importance of the Ulan region, and Tang Ling personally sent the rear general Wei Chi Yao to guard the Ulan City.

Wei Chi Yao is very old, seventy years away, but he was a famous brave and good general, Tang Ling is most important to Wei Chi Yao's experience and his tough style. The old man has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 50 years, and his rich experience can be imagined, and his talent can also be seen in the country full of talents, and he can still occupy the post of rear general at the age of more than 70.

In this battle, the Ningnan Army sent 300,000 troops, led by the prince's eldest grandson Huaiming himself, and slaughtered into the Ulan area with great momentum, and attacked the core of Ulan, Ulan City.

However, the Ningnan Army's preparations for this battle were not very sufficient, the Ulan area was rainy, the weather was fickle, and the sky was clear just now, but after a while, it might be cloudy, and the air was humid and stuffy.

The Ningnan Army, which had just arrived in Ulan, did not understand the characteristics of the climate here, resulting in a large number of gunpowder being damp and unable to be used normally.

Due to the fact that there were not many defenders in Ulan City, and the establishment was very chaotic, including the remnants of the Central Army of the Wind Country, as well as the local troops temporarily requisitioned from various counties, the Ningnan Army did not pay much attention to the defenders in Ulan City when artillery and guns could not be used.

The day after the soldiers arrived in the city, the Ningnan army launched a fierce attack on the city of Ulan. An army of 300,000 forcibly attacked the city, and the offensive seemed to be overwhelming.

If you change to someone else to defend the city, just looking at the enemy's huge momentum, I am afraid that my heart will be broken in half, and my fighting spirit will be lost, but Wei Chiyao is an ordinary general, the old man has fought on the battlefield all his life, what kind of formation has he never seen, what kind of wind and waves have he not experienced?

Under the command of Wei Chiyao, the defenders' morale was not disturbed, and they responded calmly to the battle, making every effort to resist the enemy forces outside the city. Without artillery and firearms, the combat strength of the Ningnan army was sharply reduced, and the 300,000-strong army stormed the city of Ulan for a whole day, but failed to attack a single soldier in the city.

The Ningnan Army stormed the city of Ulan for three days in a row, and suffered countless losses, but it has not been able to break through the city defense of Ulan. As the commander of the whole army, the eldest grandson Huaiming is also anxious, the dignified prince, leading an army of 300,000, but he can't even attack a small Ulan City, what kind of face does he have to go back to the capital to see his brother?

After three days of fruitless attack, the eldest grandson Huaiming ordered the whole army to rest for a day, and on the fifth day of the war, the eldest grandson Huaiming decided to personally put on the battle, in order to show his determination, he was bound to break through the city of Ulan, and he also gave a death order to the generals of the whole army, who dared to take a step back in the battle, they would be dealt with according to military law.

Deputy Marshal Li Jiayou persuaded Sun Huaiming that the gunpowder supplied from the rear would arrive immediately, and his own siege was not in a hurry at this time, and it didn't matter if he waited for another three or five days.

But the eldest grandson Huaiming didn't listen to Li Jia's persuasion, as a prince, he personally led the army, and he didn't fight Ulan City for so many days, and now he has to wait for another three or five days, even if he hits Ulan City, he, the prince, will be disgraced and embarrassed.

The eldest grandson, Huaiming, insisted on attacking the city, and on the fifth day of the Battle of Ulan, he personally went into battle and led his army to attack the city of Ulan. The prince's participation in the battle did greatly boost the morale of the officers and men of the Ningnan army, and the battle on this day was also particularly tragic.

The Ningnan army outside the city launched attacks wave after wave, the soldiers in front were exhausted, and the soldiers in the back immediately filled up, completely attacking regardless of losses and costs.

In the face of such a ferocious attack of the Ningnan army, the defenders in the city also suffered heavy casualties, and when the defenders suffered more than half of the casualties, Wei Chiyao recruited the strong men in the city, went to the city wall to defend the city, and when the strong men were not enough, he pulled the old people, children and women all to the city wall to defend against the enemy.

The Ningnan army tried their best, and Ulan City also tried its best, and the two sides fought a meat grinding battle.

By noon, the city defense of Ulan City had been tightened in many places, and the Ningnan army besieging the city attacked the city from time to time, and then was desperately slashed by the defenders.

Just when the city defense of Ulan City was in danger and became more and more unbearable, an accident suddenly happened, and a stone thrown out of a stone throwing machine in Ulan City was hitting the eldest grandson Huaiming, who was in the Ningnan army.

This sudden stone that fell from the sky was slapping on the head of the eldest grandson Huaiming, shattering his helmet, cracking his skull, and the person died on the spot.

The sudden injury of the eldest grandson Huaiming disrupted the formation of the siege army, and the morale of the Ningnan army was instantly suppressed. Deputy Marshal Li Jia was also dumbfounded, and urgently ordered the troops to be withdrawn and the seriously injured eldest grandson Huaiming was brought into battle.

By the time the eldest grandson Huaiming was sent to the camp of the Ningnan Army, he was no longer able to do so, and in the end he didn't even leave a last word, so he died.

The eldest grandson Huaiming was not yet thirty years old, and this young prince died outside Ulan City like this, an accident that no one expected.

You must know that the eldest grandson Huaiming is the twin brother of the eldest grandson Huaide, and his feelings are very deep, after the eldest grandson Huaide ascended the throne, he did not clean his younger brothers and sisters, but he did not touch the eldest grandson Huaiming, but entrusted him with important tasks.

Now that the eldest grandson Huaiming died in the battle against Ulan, the first person to bear the responsibility for this is naturally the deputy marshal Li Jia, who at least did not protect him well.

After the death of the eldest grandson Huaiming, Li Jia, who was in a panic and panicked, hurriedly ordered the whole army to surround the city, and it was necessary to surround the city of Wulan and not let go of a single person in the city.

Now what he is most worried about is that the defenders in the city abandon the city and flee, once the defenders in the city escape, he will be guilty of more crimes, not to mention that his head is not guaranteed, and the whole family may be beheaded.

Li Jia's decision to encircle the city to prevent the defenders from escaping also laid the groundwork for the defeat of the Ningnan army.
