1. The cold of spring is expected to be warm in the end Chapter 20 High ransom
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp.
I don't know if Li Ping picked up the lamp to watch the sword after drinking, but he did dream of blowing the horn and the camp.
Li Ping was still sleeping on the table, when he heard the sound of bangs outside the tent, and the soldier who had been drinking with Li Ping last night rushed into Li Ping's tent and reported to Li Ping: "General, there is movement in the Zhou army. ”
"Let's go, go to the southern end of the Haruchi Road." Li Ping is a second-class master in the end, and he can't get drunk with just two or three pots of bad wine, so he picked up the long sword hanging behind him and hurriedly ran out.
Li Ping led 25,000 men to support Jia and Nei counties through the Guangtong Bridge, and after breaking through the Zhou army camp according to Zhao Yingqi's report, he left 5,000 people to guard the Zhou army camp and the more than 500 prisoners in his hands, and hurried to Santong Town overnight with 20,000 people.
Last night, I couldn't get Wang Lin and the five thousand Zhou prisoners of war from Zhao Yingqi and Guan Zhengnong, but from Guan Zhengnong, I asked for the three earthen wall positions nearly three zhang high that had been built in the southern section of Chunnai Road.
Guan Zhengnong happily handed over the position to Li Ping, and Guan Zhengnong's soldiers withdrew from the position and handed over the 15,000 infantry brought by Li Ping.
The other 5,000 men brought by Li Ping were all cavalry, and they camped with Li Ping between the county seat of Neixian and the earthen wall position in the south.
At this time, the 5,000 cavalry of the Shuo army was assembling, and the Zhou army had already opened the camp outside the Chunnei Road, and the 30,000 army dispatched 20,000 to form four phalanxes.
The night before, Li Ping's 15,000 infantry had been deployed on the three earthen walls, and the Zhou army also saw that the Shuo army on the earthen wall had changed people, and the troops were very sufficient, so they did not rashly attack.
Li Ping was originally preparing to retreat to the county seat of Neixian, which was a military city with a city wall of more than four zhang and was the best place for fixed income.
However, Li Ping was afraid that the previous incident of Wang Lin's cavalry bypassing the county seat of Neixian and forcibly rushing out of Chunnei Road would happen again, and Zhao Yingqi had a very beautiful battle loss ratio with the cavalry of the Zhou State with the strength of the earthen wall, which made Li Ping feel that he could also rely on the earthen wall to keep the Zhou army out of the Chunnei Road.
At this time, Zhao Yingqi was called up by Guan Zhengnong, although it was already the time of the hour, Zhao Yingqi obviously still didn't want to get up, and hugged Zhao Tong and slept sweetly.
Don't get me wrong, this is just Zhao Yingqi's habit in his previous life, he likes to sleep with something.
On the contrary, Guan Zhengnong was very anxious, walking around Zhao Yingqi's yard in the morning, Zhao Tong had already woken up, and he could hear from his footsteps that Guan Zhengnong was waiting in the yard very anxiously, but he was not prepared to wake Zhao Yingqi.
Later, Guan Zhengnong woke Zhao Yingqi up, and the goods in the courtyard were loudly scolding the soldiers guarding Zhao Yingqi, asking why they hadn't prepared breakfast for Mr.
Zhao Yingqi smiled bitterly a few times, and had to get up, at this time Zhao Yingqi was used to Zhao Tong waiting for changing.
After unhurriedly grooming and tidying up, he took Zhao Tong out of the door and saw Guan Zhengnong.
"Oh, brother, why are you still sleeping, the army of Zhou is pressing." Guan Zhengnong's expression was very exaggerated.
"Brother Guan, what's the hurry, isn't Li Ping's 20,000 army guarding the exit of Chun Nei Road? What are you afraid of? Zhao Yingqi sat at the table and waited for his breakfast.
"How can you not be in a hurry, this is a matter of the safety of my country, I will be deeply favored by the emperor, and I can't be on it anyway."
Zhao Yingqi smiled and squinted at Guan Zhengnong, and Guan Zhengnong laughed when he saw it.
"Brother Guan doesn't have to worry, Li Ping can't please Zhou Jun."
Guan Zhengnong looked at Zhao Yingqi as if he was an old god, and he was anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks.
"Brother, this lock sand wall is a good thing to deal with cavalry, and now Li Ping has no shortage of troops and equipment, and my brother is still not at ease."
"What my brother said, didn't you give him the position yourself last night? How? Regret it now? ”
Zhao Yingqi was still quite speechless about Guan Zhengnong's kicking of the ball last night, obviously he didn't want to cooperate with Li Ping, but he had to pull him as a shield, and he couldn't sleep well.
Guan Zhengnong is not at ease in the end, so it is good to say that Lai said that he has to drag Zhao Yingqi to the front line to have a look.
Zhao Yingqi had a deep resentment for not having breakfast, so he had to drag it until the soldiers brought breakfast, and grabbed three or four meat buns by himself, after all, Zhao Tong also wanted to eat breakfast, so he followed Guan Zhengnong on the horse and rushed to the exit of Chunnei Road.
The three of them and more than a dozen of Guan Zhengnong's personal soldiers, lightly armed and fast, arrived at the exit of Chunuchi Road It was almost noon.
The three of them arrived at Li Ping's cavalry camp and learned that Li Ping had arrived at the front line to command the battle.
The barracks are only more than ten miles away from the front line, and they will arrive in a moment.
However, when Zhao Yingqi and the others found Li Ping of a lookout at the three earthen walls of the earth, Zhou Shuo and the two sides were still facing each other, and no battle broke out.
"General Li, hasn't the Zhou army attacked yet?" Guan Zhengnong did a good job on the surface, and there was no rudeness.
"Yes, the Zhou army does not know the depth of our army at present, and does not dare to act rashly." Li Ping glanced at Zhao Tong, who was following behind Zhao Yingqi.
Li Ping deliberately behaved and explained to Guan Zhengnong.
Because the Shuo army had sufficient soldiers on the earthen wall and all kinds of equipment was also very complete, the Zhou army concluded that the Shuo army reinforcements had arrived, and it could be judged that Wang Lin's lone army was not in a good situation, and it did not play a role in intercepting the reinforcements to attack and disturb the baggage and grain routes.
After Li Ping's explanation, Guan Zhengnong also understood, and at the same time, he also sighed in his heart for Zhao Yingqi's wisdom, and his previous action of rushing to defeat Wang Lin now seems to be very wise.
"So what now? Just a confrontation? Guan Zhengnong still asked, and it was Zhao Yingqi who asked.
At this time, Zhou Guo began to attack tentatively, still using the same method as Wang Lin before, using cavalry and grappling hooks to prepare to drag the sandbags on the earthen wall apart and collapse, but it did not work, leaving only seven or eight hundred corpses in vain.
Zhou Jun's tentative attack made Li Ping overjoyed and was intoxicated with himself.
Zhao Yingqi looked up at the hour, and the four military formations of the Zhou army four miles away, and said to Guan Zhengnong: "I don't feel safe here, I'm going to go down first, how about General Guan?" ”
"What? Why is it not safe? Guan Zhengnong was very surprised, he heard Vice General Chen say that Zhao Yingqi was about to be ranked first, and there was a maid in the top armor by his side to protect him, would he be worried about insecurity?
Seeing that Zhao Yingqi didn't pay attention to Li Ping and had already gotten off the lookout, Guan Zhengnong thought about it and decided to go down with Zhao Yingqi.
Zhao Yingqi's master and servant and Guan Zhengnong had just retreated two miles from the front line when they heard the battle on the front line.
Guan Zhengnong was about to ask Zhao Yingqi, but Zhao Yingqi spoke first: "Brother Guan, I will tell you quietly, you do it quietly." ”
Seeing Zhao Yingqi say this, Guan Zhengnong lowered his voice: "What's the matter, brother? What's the best way to do it? ”
"No, I mean that you first hurry up to 800 miles to rush back to the DPRK Li Ping insisted on going his own way, defeated and Chun Nei Dao, you Guan Zhengnong led the army to resist the attack of the Zhou army at the critical moment, and then asked for support from the DPRK."
"What? You mean..."
Before Guan Zhengnong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yingqi: "Then quickly transfer all the people in your headquarters, and then dismantle half of the equipment in Neixian." ”
Guan Zhengnong looked puzzled: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" Are you saying that Li Ping will be defeated? ”
"In less than two hours, Li Ping will suffer a big loss, so Brother Guan should prepare as soon as possible, on the one hand, he is ready to sue Li Ping and squeeze him away, on the other hand, he is ready to receive the soldiers and horses left by Li Ping, and on the other hand, he is ready to resist the enemy!" Zhao Yingqi rode on his horse and watched the boulders of the Shuo army's position fall like rain in the distance, and the bed crossbow spears and guns flew one after another.
Guan Zhengnong was about to continue asking, but Zhao Yingqi thought it was troublesome to explain, so he only told him to do so, and there would be a branch later.
This Guan Zhengnong's military literacy is not as good as Li Ping, Li Ping at least knows the most basic analysis of friend and foe, this Guan Zhengnong...
Explain to Guan Zhengnong that he is going to be tired to death, but for Zhao Yingqi, Guan Zhengnong is still easier to manipulate, and many of the ideas behind him really need such a person who is very dependent on him to help carry it out.
Guan Zhengnong was used to Zhao Yingqi's words, so he had to send his own soldiers who came out with him to arrange these things.
Guan Zhengnong, together with Zhao Yingqi, watched Li Ping stumble among the powerful siege engines of the Zhou army, only two miles from the front line.
Guan Zhengnong suddenly understood what Zhao Yingqi meant when he said that the earthen wall at the southern end of Chunnei Road had no chance of winning, and asked Zhao Yingqi: "Brother Zhao has long understood that this earthen wall has no effect in front of the Zhou army, right?" ”
"It's not useless, it's just that the wrong place and method are used, Wang Lin's lone army is deep, lacking baggage, not having enough siege equipment, relying on cavalry naturally can't break the formation, can only attack hard. However, the reinforcements of the Zhou State must be complete with baggage, grain and grass, and siege equipment, and the siege equipment that the Zhou general thinks can capture the military city of Neixian County, how can this district earth wall resist? ”
Zhao Yingqi looked around at the surrounding terrain and environment, nodded slightly, and continued: "So when I saw that Li Ping was still arranging his position like this, I knew that he would definitely suffer a big loss. ”
An hour passed, and when it was almost time to Shen, Zhao Yingqi sighed: "Alas... I'm afraid that now that the casualties on the position have exceeded 3,000, we can't go on like this, and continue to be carried out like this, I'm afraid that the position will be razed, and it will not be good for the cavalry of the Zhou army to drive in. ”
"Then Brother Zhao is there any way?" Guan Zhengnong asked on the side.
Zhao Yingqi glanced at the surrounding environment again, the exit at the southern end of Chunnai Road is narrower than the exit of the northern section, the whole is a pocket, the mountains on both sides are dangerous, the narrowest part is less than one mile wide, but after entering Chunnai Road, it has become wider in vain, and the depth of just two or three miles has become three or four miles wide.
Zhao Yingqi looked at Li Ping, who had been forced to come down from the lookout because of the heavy firepower of the Zhou army's siege equipment, and felt that it was almost time, it was time to stop this meaningless battle, otherwise the two sides behind would be angry, and it would be difficult to interfere again.
"Xiaotong, the Zhou army will stop the launch of siege equipment later, you can rush out at the right time and go straight to the commander of the Zhou army, and send a letter to Li Yuanbai, the commander of the Zhou army, can you do it?"
"Sir, Xiao Tong shouldn't have any problems, after leaving the Spring Inner Road, it becomes very wide, and Xiao Tong can still rush over if he unfolds his body." Zhao Tong looked at the situation outside and replied.
"Okay, then you're ready to rush out and tell them sir, I'm going to ask them for ransom, ransom their head armor master!"
