Some people say that the essence of war is that a group of old men in order to ensure their own interests, and then instigate a group of enthusiastic young people to fight each other for them, although this statement is more limited, but the essence is almost like this.

Many wars are labeled with various auras of justice and positive energy, but their essence is still to compete for their own interests, but most ordinary people are still willing to believe in these so-called righteous reasons for their own interests.

After being brainwashed by the Northern Qi Dynasty, the newly joined Qi soldiers who were adapted from the original Northern Xuzhou soldiers under the command of Dugu Yongye believed that the suffering they and their families had suffered over the years was all because of these Three Qi traitors, and if it weren't for these rebellions, the Northern Qi would still be the overlord of the world, and they would still be the happiest people under the rule of the overlord of the world.

These people completely forgot that in the past, under the rule of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, a large number of people from Northern Xuzhou fled to the Southern Dynasty every year, and even without Wang Yong, their lives were never better.

It's just that at this time, these soldiers don't think about anything else, they are under the command of many Qi army generals, they continue to rush to the city, almost with red eyes roaring and fighting with the defenders, their bravery is simply incomparable, so that the robes who came with the siege army are embarrassed.

"Captain Shen, the brothers are about to be unable to stand it, you quickly arrange for the wounded soldiers and people in the city to retreat to the mountains to the east!" Just after Shen Sanshui repelled a wave of Qi army's offensive, a fruit lieutenant came to him, because Jiaozhou City was built on the mountain, and if it could, the soldiers and people in the city could still withdraw some of it.

But Shen Sanshui is not reconciled, if the Qi army occupies Jiaozhou City, the Qi army can use this as a base to attack, retreat and defend, and from then on, the land of Sanqi will no longer be a place of peace, even if it holds Gaomi County, it will not be able to stop the Qi army's attack on the surrounding places.

"I'll hold on here, you go to find someone to escort Captain Li and the wounded soldiers and people in the city to withdraw first, otherwise as long as you retreat, the city will definitely not be able to hold it!" Shen Sanshui also knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, even if he could repel this offset, he would definitely not be able to survive the next time.

Just when Shen Sanshui was about to decide to retreat some of the people first, he suddenly saw a burst of cheers on the head of the city in the northwest corner, and Shen Sanshui's heart was cold at that time, "Could it be that it was occupied by the Qi army!" ’

Then Shen Sanshui saw that his flag was still fluttering on the top of the city, so he was a little relieved, and at this moment, many soldiers cheered: "Reinforcements are coming!" Reinforcements are coming!······"

With the cheers of the soldiers at the head of the northwest corner of the city, all the defenders in the entire Jiaozhou city suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the soldiers fought hard against the Qi soldiers and drove the Qi army down from the city again!

Shen Sanshui was not too excited, because it was less than ten days after calculating the time and information, and the reinforcements that could come back and forth were only reinforcements from Qingzhou, Guangzhou and other places, and the most that came was the army from the east of Qizhou, and Wang Yong, as the main force, would definitely not be able to catch up.

In this way, how many reinforcements can come from various states and counties? Add up to 10,000 at most, and these people can only delay the offensive of the Qi army at most, and in the end, they will not be able to stop the Qi army's occupation of Jiaozhou.

But it's good to make the soldiers happy, Shen Sanshui thought to himself, but he heard a soldier shouting: "It's the prince here, it's the banner of the prince!" It turned out that Wang Yong personally led the army to rescue him, and the morale of the soldiers in the city was even higher.

The soldiers did not wonder why Wang Yong had come so early, and they were particularly excited to see that the prince had not abandoned them but had braved the snowstorm to come to their aid.

And Shen Sanshui felt excited on the one hand, on the other hand, he was a little puzzled, since Jiaozhou sent the intelligence, even if there was Guan Shuaiguan to fight for the few days until now, it was only more than 20 days, and it would take at least more than a month for the army to rush to Jiaozhou City.

Especially now that there has been a multi-day snowstorm, and the snow is one or two feet thick, how can Wang Yong still march faster than the army on weekdays under such harsh conditions?

However, no matter how Wang Yong came here, at least in order to prevent being attacked from the front and rear, the Qi army had to withdraw the troops that were besieging the city, and slowly lined up in the open space of the river valley west of the city, ready to exchange hands or two with the reinforcements who were about to come, and test the opponent's catties.

Dugu Yongye was very annoyed, because of the heavy snow for several days, he thought that Wang Yong's reinforcements would take more than a month to arrive at the earliest, so he did not attack with all his strength after suffering a loss for the first time, but only used a tired strategy to make the defenders defending the city feel tired, and he was not ready to take it until today.

But he never expected that Wang Yong would rush here at a critical moment, so that his plan was completely frustrated, and Dugu Yongye felt extremely depressed, so he thought that since Wang Yong came so quickly, he would definitely not bring too many soldiers, and because the physical strength of the soldiers who were rushing for days would inevitably not be able to keep up, thinking of this, Dugu Yongye was ready to give up the siege and continue to fight with Wang Yong!

It's just that Wang Yong didn't have the intention of Dugu Yongye, he saw that the Qi army gave up the siege and turned the target to himself, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to be deployed according to the city, and Wang Yong brought a lot of soldiers this time, more than 20,000 people.

In addition to more than half of the more than 10,000 people who are infantry troops, there are also cavalry captains Shi Haiguang and Fa Yan, and the cavalry troops led by Shi Haiguang and Fa Yan each have a total of five or six thousand cavalry, and the rest are the 1,000 soldiers led by Luo Huan, the captain of the ironclad battalion under Zhou Tong, and the crossbow battalion troops led by Zhou Duo.

As soon as these people were armed, they suddenly became a super hedgehog, and Dugu Yongye knew what was at stake, so he had to let the soldiers stop tempting Wang Yong's army formation, joking that attacking Wang Yong's army at this time was just to send him to death.

Of course, Dugu Yongye is not afraid of Wang Yong, Wang Yong only brought more than 20,000 people, and there are still more than 40,000 people under his command, and the road from Yanzhou in Northern Qi to here has been fully opened, even if it can't reach Wang Yong now, you can wait for reinforcements sent by Northern Qi.

Now Shen Sanshui's heart is full of joy, when he decided to die for Wang Yong, suddenly Wang Yong arrived with reinforcements, such a big joy is really unacceptable.

When Shen Sanshui arrived at the city gate in the north, Wang Yong was already waiting outside the gate, which was also a dead order in Wang Yong's army, no matter who wanted to enter the city during the war, if it was not the chief official of the city, he could not open the door, and those who violated the order would not be punished.

After the city gate was opened, not all the reinforcements from outside the city entered the city, Wang Yong only sent more than 2,000 infantry to the city to assist Shen Sanshui's defense, and the other 20,000 soldiers were still stationed outside the city.

"Prince, you are ······" Shen Sanshui said a little strangely; "Junhou, there are still more than 40,000 people in the Qi army, you 20,000 people should hurry into the city! There is still plenty of food in the city! ”

"Sanshui, don't care about me, if you don't hurt Dugu Yongye this time, he won't know what it means to be a tiger's ass and can't be touched! Don't look at me, there are only 20,000 people, and still teach him a hard lesson! Wang Yong immediately rejected Shen Sanshui's plan to invite him into the city.

Seeing that Wang Yong, who had been in the dust all the way, was still so heroic, Shen Sanshui was also very excited, he felt that during the days of defending Jiaozhou City, no matter how hard and tired he was, it was worth it.

Although he was curious about why Wang Yong came so quickly, when Shen Sanshui saw the sleds in Wang Yong's barracks, he understood that Wang Yong was actually using the sleds to act on this snowy day.

However, you must know that sledding was almost useless at that time, because of the warm climate for many years, there was not much snowfall in the land of Sanqi, that is, Changguang County and other places in the north would have some snowfall in winter, but not much.

On weekdays, there will be some rich people who follow the hunters in the mountains to learn to take snow sliders to hunt, and in addition, in the swampy water network area of the Southern Dynasty, there will be people who use mud sleds to transport goods, and this time Wang Yong's sled is a new gadget made by combining the mud sleds of the Southern Dynasty and the sleighs of the north.

Seeing Shen Sanshui curiously looking at the sleigh he brought, Wang Yong smiled and said: "This thing is called a sled, you can see that it's not bad, I received an urgent report from you that Dugu Yongye came to attack Guan Shuai Guancheng, but because of the heavy snow, the army couldn't move in time, but it was very bad for me!" I was able to get here in time today, thanks to this thing! ”

Saying that, Wang Yong pulled a young general to Shen Sanshui and introduced him: "This is Han Biao Han Duwei, the sleigh is his attention, or our Han Duwei came up with such a good idea!" We don't have to rush most of the way, just sit and just sit on the road! And it took a little faster along the way than it used to be when there was no snow! ”

Han Biao, who was praised, smiled embarrassedly: "The main reason is that in the past, it rarely snowed in Sanqi except for Changguang County, and everyone rarely used these things before. Know the convenience of this thing! ”

Shen Sanshui looked at the sleigh in front of him and exclaimed: "It's really whimsical, some time ago, I also heard people talk about the mud sleds of the Southern Dynasty, but we didn't expect that we could travel in the snow if we could transform it!" ”

The sleigh in front of him is four feet wide, but it is seven or eight feet long, and it can still ride about ten people if you squeeze it, this time Wang Yong mobilized all the craftsmen on the front line to make thousands of sleds, and it can only fit about 20,000 people.

Then along the way with the use of horses to pull forward, although the snow days horses can not gallop, but pull the sleigh to travel is still possible, most of the road is good when the soldiers are sitting on the sled, and when it is not good to walk, they all come down on foot, but the weapons on the body are placed on the sled.

In this way, there were stops and stops along the way, and some of the sleds were damaged on the way and some were replenished in the states and counties along the way, and when they arrived here in Jiaozhou, there were still 2,000 sleds, which saved a lot of time along the way, not to mention, but also ensured the physical strength of the soldiers.
