Chapter 444: The Difference of One Thought
Although the defenders of Tianma County and the defenders of Anqiu are both local armies of the Red Kingdom, their combat power is not on the same level.
Tianma County is an important place in the Red Kingdom, the defenders are well-equipped, diligent in training, and their combat power is so strong that it is close to the Central Army of the Red Kingdom. The defenders of Jin'an are only more than 20,000 people, which is far from the 4th Army of the Jin Kingdom of 60,000 people, but the city defense of Jin'an is strong and well-prepared, and a large number of city defense weapons are hoarded in the city.
The Fourth Army Corps and the defenders of Jin'an launched a difficult and cruel battle in the north of the city, both sides basically invested all their troops, as soon as the battle began, the scene was extremely fierce, arrows, crossbow arrows, stone bullets shuttled in the air continuously, inside and outside the city, the screams of the wounded soldiers came and went, endlessly.
The city lord of Jin'an City is named Shang Daoyuan, a civil official, but his courage is not inferior to that of the generals, the enemy is current, he is not afraid of life and death, and personally climbs the city wall to command the battle, the city lord is still like this, the morale of the soldiers and knights who participated in the battle has doubled, only more than 20,000 people, and the fourth army with a large number of people is evenly matched.
The situation on the battlefield is that the two sides are evenly divided, but the Red Army also understands that this is only temporary, the Jin Army has too many troops, and its combat power is too strong, and as long as the battle lasts for two or three days, its own side will definitely not be able to withstand it first.
A middle-aged man who watched the battle with Shang Daoyuan said: "Lord Shang, the Jin army is menacing, and it may be difficult to resist it with our own strength. ”
Shang Daoyuan frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Lingyun mean ......?"
The middle-aged man named Ling Yun said: "In my opinion, we should quickly invite the friendly troops of the northern camp to come to help!" The northern camp he said is the red army camp in the south of Jin'an, although the red camp is located in the south of Jin'an, but as far as the entire Tianma County is concerned, it is still in the north. That's why it's called Beiying.
How many troops are in the north camp and what is the combat power, Shang Daoyuan knows in his heart, and asks the north camp to send troops, which may solve the urgent need, but it is not a long-term solution.
See him hesitate. Ling Yun Zhengse said: "Lord Shang, don't think about anything else now, being able to keep Jin'an is the most important thing, once Jin'an is lost, Beiying loses its barrier, how can it survive in peace?
Ling Yun was not an official of the Red Kingdom, he was also one of the many knights of the Red Kingdom who rebelled against the Jin Army, as far as the Underworld was concerned. He is an outstanding, and in terms of strategy, he is second to none among knights.
Shang Daoyuan had heard of him for a long time, and when he learned that he had come to Jin'an and wanted to assist the defenders in resisting the Jin people, he immediately treated him as a guest and arranged him by his side to give him advice.
If there are other ways. Shang Daoyuan really didn't want to ask the North Camp to send reinforcements, but Ling Yun was right. If Jin An is gone, Beiying will also be finished. He took a deep breath, lowered his head heavily, and said, "Okay! I'll send someone to Beiying to ask for help immediately!"
Ling Yun turned around and said, "Shen Lan, you escort the brother who asked for help out of the city to Beiying!"
"Okay, Brother Ling!" a knight in civilian clothes nodded and agreed.
Among the knights who participated in the war in Jin'an. Ling Yun is the most famous and prestigious, and all the knights are willing to respect him as the master and listen to him command.
Now the Jin army is mainly attacking the northern city, and no trace of the enemy has been found in the southern city. But who can guarantee that the army will not quietly set up an ambush outside the southern city? For the sake of safety, Ling Yun also had to be cautious.
A knight named Shen Lan escorted a Red Army general out of the southern city, rode a fast horse to the northern camp, and asked the northern camp to send troops to help.
The guard general of the Red Army's North Battalion is named Li He, a general of military rank, and a general of Feipeng. (General Ce is a military rank one level lower than the middle general; 'Feipeng' is a miscellaneous name.) This person is considered a non-mainstream military general in the Red Kingdom, and his qualifications are mediocre, if he is not born in a noble, he will not be able to be a general.
Li He had already heard that the Jin army had begun to invade Tianma County, and was now attacking Jin'an on a large scale, and he was also considering whether to send reinforcements. If you don't send troops and let the Jin army defeat Jin'an, then you don't need to ask, the next unlucky person is yourself, but if you send troops to reinforce, I'm afraid it will be an egg hitting a stone.
Don't look at the camp of the North Camp is not small, it stretches for more than ten miles, but the available soldiers are more than 10,000 people at best, and most of them are old, young, sick and disabled, and their combat power is not much stronger than the local army, so they take these 10,000 people to reinforce Jin'an, but they are afraid that they will be beaten by the Jin army as soon as they enter the battlefield and cannot find the north.
Just when he was sitting in the camp tent and was undecided, a soldier came to report that a partial general of the Jin An army asked to see him.
Li He's body was shocked, and his first reaction was whether Jin'an had fallen? He hurriedly ordered to invite people in quickly.
After meeting and hearing the other party's intention, Li He sighed, it turned out that he was just asking for help, not to report the funeral.
Li He also wanted to reinforce Jin'an, but the soldiers under him were pitiful, with more than 10,000 people, and their combat power was not strong, so even if they went, they couldn't solve the substantive problems.
One of his aides saw his concerns and admonished him: "Why doesn't the general send out the new recruits in the battalion as well? There are as many as 30,000 new recruits, and they have been training in the barracks for some time. There are 30,000 recruits, plus more than 10,000 soldiers on our side, there are more than 40,000 people, even if the combat strength is slightly worse, with the city defense of Jin'an, it can make up for the shortcomings. ”
Li He's eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head again and again, and said, "But the recruits are not assigned by me, so where do I have the right to mobilize the recruits to participate in the war?"
This is the truth, as the commander of the North Battalion, his duty is to guard the camp and train recruits, he has the right to train, but not the right to command, if you want to transfer recruits, you need to have the approval of Shi Huai.
Staff member Zhengse said: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary means can only be used. Once Jin'an is lost, with the defense of our northern camp, it will not be able to resist the attack of the Jin army, and if you want to keep the camp, you must first protect Jin'an. The general is outside, the military order is still not subject to some things, and now Jin'an and Beiying are in danger, and the general mobilizes new soldiers to participate in the war, even if he lets the king know in the future, the king will never blame the general, but will only praise the general's improvisation and wisdom and decisiveness. ”
"Oh......" Li He was so excited by the staff's words that he lowered his head and was silent, considering the pros and cons.
Seeing this, the partial general who came to Jin An for help hurriedly intervened and said: "General, the Jin An garrison is less than 20,000, and it has now resisted the onslaught of the 100,000 army of the Jin State, as long as the general is willing to help, he will definitely be able to block the Jin army from the outside of the city!"
The general's words are naturally exaggerated, but it is true that the Jin An army still does not lose gold with fewer battles. Li He frowned, pondered for a while, and finally turned his heart on the sidelines and said, "Okay! General Ben personally led the battalion generals and recruits to reinforce Jin'an!"
When they heard this, all the people in the tent were overjoyed.
Li He's decision is undoubtedly right, at this critical moment, no matter whether it is reasonable or reasonable, the Red Army in Beiying should go to reinforce Jin'an, which is close at hand, but people never dreamed that this seemingly correct decision would lead the Beiying Army into a hell from which they will never recover.
Chi Guoce general Li Heqin led a Beiying army of more than 10,000 people plus 30,000 recruits, left Beiying in a mighty way, and went north to reinforce Jin'an.
When this huge force of men and horses marched to the middle of Jin'an and Beiying, suddenly the whistle around was loud, shouting and killing sounded, and then, in all directions, arrows rained down, and countless Jin troops rushed out from the shadows.
On the way from Beiying to Jin'an, there were so many Jin troops in ambush, which the Red Army never expected, and because they did not hear any gold sound in advance, people even wondered if the Jin army in front of them had fallen from the sky.
Unprepared and unguarded, the Red Army, which numbered more than 40,000 people, was taken by surprise by the 30,000 Jin Army who had set up an ambush.
In particular, the 30,000 recruits in the Red Army were completely blinded by the sudden appearance of the Jin Army, and the recruits did not know how to respond, and the training on weekdays did not teach this, and the people stood up one by one in a daze, not knowing whether to resist or retreat now, and if they resisted, they did not know whether to line up or fight alone.
You live and die, everyone is desperately on the battlefield, life and death are only in a thought, no one will have time to teach you how to do it, all the experience is based on yourself and your comrades and brothers with sweat and blood to find out, all the veterans are also after countless bloody battles and baptism after screening out of the elite people.
That's the difference between a recruit and a veteran. (To be continued......)
