Chapter 326: Near-Death and Survival

After Baoling Hou Shi Nai arrived in Liaodong, he let the team rest for half a month.

After a period of negotiation and exchange, Shi Nai had some understanding of the current situation.

Wang Ziteng meant to train the soldiers and horses first, and then send troops to recapture Shenyang after he had the strength of a battle.

Shi Nai disagreed, thinking that Wang Ziteng was too conservative and should take advantage of the fact that the barbarians were not gaining a firm foothold, cut through the chaos with a quick knife and recapture Shenyang in one fell swoop.

The two disagreed, and neither could convince anyone.

Ignoring Wang Ziteng's dissuasion, Shi Nai insisted on immediately sending troops to recapture Shenyang.

Wang Ziteng had no choice but to let him lead his troops to Shenyang.

Now that Wang Ziteng is guilty, the weight of his words is undoubtedly three points lower.

He had already received a letter from Jia Cong, knew the decision of the imperial court, interceded for Jia Cong's help, and was also grateful in his heart, and the unhappiness of being rejected before no longer existed.

Jia Cong also warned him in the letter that although he was allowed to make meritorious contributions to his crimes, he should not be rash.

You have to wait until you have some certainty before you can attack.

Soon after, he received the will of the imperial court and the reprimand of Emperor Longqing.

Let him stay in Liaodong to make meritorious contributions, assist Shi Nai to recapture Shenyang, and if there is another mistake, the two crimes will be punished together.

This also caused Wang Ziteng to be more cautious, he had a deep understanding of the strength of the brute soldiers, but Shi Nai did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on going his own way, which made Wang Ziteng a little helpless.

In the end, the two decided to divide the soldiers into two ways.

Shi Nai, with his army of 100,000, went to capture Shenyang.

Wang Ziteng led the original men and horses to continue to stay in Liaoyang, as Shi Nai's backup, once the battle at the front was tight, or an accident occurred, Wang Ziteng could also send troops to help.

Actually, Wang Ziteng is not very optimistic about Shi Nai.

Shi Nai's 100,000 troops were all drawn from all over the country, and they were not subordinate to each other, and the personnel were complex, so it was impossible to cooperate with each other.

It can be said that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers.

With such an army, it is really difficult to recapture Shenyang.

It takes at least three months, or even half a year, to train before you can have the strength to fight.

Wang Ziteng stood at the head of the city, looking at the army that disappeared from his sight, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, and beckoned his scouts to let them pay close attention to the battle between the two sides.

Let them come back as soon as they have the results.

······

Baoling Hou Shi Nai, led the army to Shenyang City and set up camp ten miles away.

After a day's rest, the next day, he launched a fierce attack on Shenyang, and the offensive was fierce, and he was about to capture Shenyang in one fell swoop.

The three days of high-intensity siege battles made the soldiers complain bitterly, and the huge casualties also hit the morale of the soldiers.

These soldiers were originally local garrisons and neglected to train in peacetime.

It is rare to see blood, and when I see such a tragic scene, I have long been afraid.

At this time, the gate of Shenyang City was opened, and five thousand barbarian cavalry rushed out with a bang, and killed the Chu army attacking the city.

Cavalry has a great advantage over infantry, and soldiers who are already tired of attacking the city are not opponents.

The barbarian cavalry rushed the Chu army with a charge, followed by a burst of cover-up.

Seeing this, Shi Nai hurriedly sent 20,000 troops to outflank from both flanks, trying to eat the 5,000 cavalry.

However, the mobility of the cavalry was too strong, and the five thousand barbarian cavalry, when they were about to be surrounded, resolutely broke through the gap and returned to Shenyang.

Shi Nai watched from behind, and could only stare dryly.

After Amin arrived in Shenyang, he observed for a few days and was a little scornful of the combat strength of the Chu army.

"Generals, the Chu soldiers are low in combat strength and low morale, and they are not the opponents of my barbarian warriors at all, I have decided to lead the army out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle and defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop, do you have any objections?"

"Everything is according to the decree of the Great Khan, and there is no objection from subordinates and others."

Amin said: "Okay, since that's the case, then go down and prepare, and go out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle." ”

All the generals said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." ”

The next day, the army went out of the city and lined up, and the two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the barbarian side took the lead in attacking, and the two sides were killed together in an instant.

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, screams, angry scolding, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.

With the advantage of numbers, the Chu army temporarily fought on a par with the barbarians.

As time passed little by little, Chu Bing gradually fell behind, Shi Nai saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and now regretted his hasty decision.

But it's too late, and it's useless to regret it.

The top priority is how to turn the tide of the war, it is estimated that it is difficult to win, and it is difficult to retain some of the strength, even if it is to burn high incense.

At this moment, there was a report from the Malays.

"Qi Qi Dashuai, there are 10,000 barbarian cavalry, they went around to the rear and attacked our camp, and now they are killing our rear, please make a decision as soon as possible."

"What? How so? What about those who stayed in the camp? ”

When Shi Nai heard this, he was instantly unsettled, and asked with a surprised face.

"Marshal Qiqi, the soldiers we left behind have been defeated by the opposing cavalry."

Now Shi Nai is a little desperate, how can this be good?

In the face of the attack of the barbarians, his subordinates have begun to be unable to resist and are retreating.

If another 10,000 cavalry came from behind and attacked from behind, then he would be defeated from both sides.

This result is unbearable for me.

I don't know what Wang Ziteng is doing now? I don't know if I'll come to save myself.

"You go to Liaoyang immediately, ask Lord Wang for help, and ask him to send troops to rescue us, I hope it will be in time."

At this time, I can only hold on and wait for help.

Once you retreat, you will be completely defeated, or even annihilated.

The number of cavalry on the other side is too large, and the two legs on his side can't outrun their four legs no matter what.

Shi Nai reluctantly divided 20,000 horses and moved to the rear to guard, trying to resist the 10,000 cavalry.

As soon as the order was given, the sound of horses' hooves "rumbling" sounded in the rear.

Shi Nai turned his head to look, only to see the dust behind him, covering the sky and the sun, like a yellow dragon, rushing towards him.

Hurriedly commanded 20,000 infantry and lined up to meet them.

In the blink of an eye, the opponent's 10,000 cavalry appeared in the field of vision, and without stopping, they rushed towards the 20,000 Chu soldiers who were blocking in front, and instantly burst into the formation, killing both sides together.

At this moment, in Shenyang City, 5,000 cavalry were killed again and joined the battle.

The scales of victory are gradually tilting in favor of the barbarians.

Amin looked at the battle situation in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

The first battle to inherit the Khan throne was so smooth, it was a good start.

He shouted, "Beat the drums, help the battle." ”

"Winter Winter Winter Winter ······"

The earth-shattering war drums were like a signal, which made the morale of the barbarian soldiers skyrocket in an instant, killing the Chu soldiers and retreating, and victory was just around the corner.

When Shi Nai saw this scene, his heart was cold, if Wang Ziteng didn't come to the rescue in time, he would be completely finished.

Not to mention the rout of the army, it is a question whether he can save his life.

There is only persistence in front of him, and there is no other way, so he can gamble.

Shi Nai shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on, Lord Wang's reinforcements will arrive soon, and when the time comes, the inside and outside should join forces, repel the barbarians, and recapture Shenyang, this commander will definitely be rewarded." ”

I don't know if it works, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the situation on the battlefield became more and more dangerous.

The generals around him also saw that something was wrong, and they found Shi Nai one after another.

"Marshal, isn't there a way to go on like this? Sooner or later, it will be eaten up, so it's better to break through than to stay here and die. ”

"Yes, Dashuai, if Lord Wang's reinforcements don't arrive, we will be completely defeated, and there is no chance of escape."

Shi Nai pretended to be calm and said: "What's the panic, I have already sent news to Lord Wang, calculating that the reinforcements should arrive, maybe waiting for the best fighter." ”

Seeing that what Shi Nai said was the same as the truth, the generals were a little skeptical.

"Marshal, within a quarter of an hour, if we don't come to reinforcements, we can only break through, otherwise we really can't leave."

Shi Nai said: "Okay, in a quarter of an hour, if Lord Wang's reinforcements don't appear, we will break through." ”

Soon a quarter of an hour had arrived, and there was still no sign of reinforcements.

"Dashuai can't wait any longer, let's break through."

"Dashuai, break through."

Shi Nai sighed helplessly, if he didn't order a breakthrough, the generals below would probably rebel against him.

Just as he was about to give the order to break through, he suddenly heard shouts of killing from the rear, and reinforcements were coming.

Shi Nai's spirits perked up, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, Lord Wang's reinforcements have arrived, kill them for me." ”

I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a cavalry of 5,000 people went straight to the gate of Shenyang City, wanting to take advantage of the gap between the two sides to enter Shenyang City in one fell swoop.

Wang Ziteng's reinforcements arrived, leaving 20,000 people to guard Liaoyang, and personally led 60,000 troops to kill them.

saw the opportunity and wanted to take Shenyang City in one fell swoop.

Amin couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that the other party was coming for reinforcements.

What I didn't expect was that there was also a soldier and horse who wanted to take advantage of the emptiness in the city and want to break into the city.

How can this be done, Shenyang City absolutely cannot afford to lose.

Hurriedly commanded his elite cavalry to meet him, and the two sides were killed together.

Amin observed the entire battlefield and found that although his people still had an advantage, there were more and more people on the other side, and if he continued to fight, even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory.

This kind of result is not what Amin wants.

After thinking about it again, it was decided to retreat to Shenyang first, relying on the advantage of the city wall to deal with the enemy.

Then he commanded his subordinates and beat the drum of the withdrawal of troops.

When the barbarians received the order, they immediately gathered their formation and slowly retreated towards the city.

Wang Ziteng commanded the army to cover up, wanting to take the opportunity to capture the city, but the opponent's formation was not chaotic, there was no chance at all, plus his own team, a long and rapid march, he was also a little tired, so he had no choice but to give up.

Joined up with Snai's men and returned to the camp.

Shi Nai said: "Lord Wang, thank you for your great kindness, this love, my brother has written it down." ”

Wang Ziteng said: "Shi Hou is polite, everyone is in robes, naturally we can't stand idly by, our goal is the same, that is, to recapture Shenyang City."

Now you can also see that the difference in the combat power of the soldiers on both sides is relatively large, although we have the advantage in numbers, but there is still no chance of victory, and we need to make another plan. ”

Shi Nai nodded, through these days of fighting, he had also discovered the strength of the barbarians.

However, just because the barbarians are strong, they can't stand still, right?

I received His Majesty's military order, and if I couldn't take Shen Yang, a reprimand would be inevitable.

"Lord Wang, do you have any good ideas?"

Wang Ziteng smiled bitterly: "Shi Hou, I want to recapture Shenyang as soon as possible than you, after all, it was lost from my hands, but the current situation, you have also seen, it is really difficult to take it down."

This matter is in a hurry, so we can only think about it in the long run, and first improve the combat power of my soldiers, which is the most important thing, otherwise the combat power will not work, and everything will be in vain. ”

The two discussed it and decided to focus on training troops first to improve the combat power of their subordinates.

Then, look for an opportunity to recapture Shenyang.

······

In the blink of an eye, it was the height of summer, and the weather was starting to get hot.

Since there has been no rain since the beginning of the year, the climate is dry, and the weather is a little hotter than usual.

This year's summer harvest has just passed, and the harvest in the fields has generally decreased, some by 30 percent, some by 40 percent, and even 50 percent in many areas.

If it doesn't rain again, the seeds won't germinate, and the autumn harvest is expected to be extinct.

At that time, there will really be a drought, and people will be everywhere.

Jia Cong's Zhuangzi, except for the riverside villa, which is close to the river, has not affected the output, and the other Zhuangzi far away from the water source have also generally reduced the output by two to three percent.

Jia Cong is not worried about the lack of food.

The granary of Ning Guofu, the granary of the courtyard, and the granary of Linhe Villa are all full of grain, and they can't be eaten even if they are eaten for ten years.

On the island of Shuiying, ten large granaries were built, filled with white flowers.

Two days ago, Wangcai came back with a fleet and brought back ten boatloads of rice, all of which were stored in the grain depot.

Returning with the ship, there were five special combat team members including water monkeys.

Jia Cong transferred the water monkeys back, firstly, in order to strengthen the connection, since he couldn't go by himself, he asked them to come back to report.

These people are used to being wild outside, they are in high positions, and they are probably negligent in training, and if they are trained for a while, they can't be too slack.

The other is to discuss with them and divide the naval fleet of Shuiying into two, divided into two fleets, north and south.

One fleet stayed where it was, while the other went north to occupy Jeju Island.

Make it your real base, a place where you can take refuge if something happens.

"Subordinate, meet Grandpa Guo."

Jia Cong looked at the water monkey in front of him, and several other team members, who hadn't seen each other for four years.

His face is much darker than before, he looks shrewd and capable, and he has grown up in the past few years without the immaturity he used to have.

"This time flies so fast, we haven't seen each other for more than four years, and now we are all adults one by one, let's all sit down, don't be restrained, this time I will call you back, one is to let you go home and see.

Another is to divide the fleet in two, occupy a large island in the northern seas, and build a real base, at least self-sufficient, but also large enough, I have already chosen a place, which is Jeju Island south of Goryeo. ”
