Chapter 107: Guyuan City

Guyuan Castle was captured by a vanguard of the Northern Army.

It's just a cavalryman of a thousand households. And it is a thousand cavalry households that have been less than a member after the battle. In total, there were only hundreds of cavalry.

Although Guyuan City has been transferred very strongly, it is not a local strong man, at least one or two thousand soldiers. Plus the advantages of city defense. Actually, it can be kept. But the situation is not good, and people's hearts are fluctuating.

First of all. It was the Battle of Ningxia.

Ningxia is an important border defense area, plugged into the south of the Yangtze River.

Naturally, it is the top priority, and all of Qu Neng's military operations are carried out around Ningxia, and they are very smooth. At this moment, he has already met under the city of Ningxia. The battle has entered the second half, almost to the point of closing.

The siege of Ningxia did not require so many soldiers and horses.

Qu Neng naturally whipped westward and divided his troops slightly.

Guyuan City is an important place in the northwest, Qu Neng will not just send such a small number of soldiers and horses, it is purely because the fight is too smooth. It can be said that since the beginning of the war between the north and the south, the northern army has never fought this war.

On the main battlefield of the Central Plains, almost every battle is a tough battle.

It's all the pinnacle of technology and wisdom. It was not an easy battle, and even the progress of both sides was changing with each passing day.

The battlefield in Ningxia was different.

On the Ningxia side, the appearance of the Ming army during the Hongwu period was generally retained. It's not that no one wants to play for Nanjing. It's just that under the strong combat effectiveness of the Northern Army, they have collapsed.

I can't beat it. Surrender naturally.

A chain reaction is formed. Although there are only more than 1,000 people, they have been trapped in the big city unimpeded, and they have surrendered to each other wherever they have passed.

Only then did more than 1,000 people rush to Guyuan City.

Secondly, it is the battlefield of Xiaoguan, which also affects the morale of the soldiers of Guyuan City.

How important Xiao Guan is, people who don't even read military books and don't understand the geography of Shaanxi. Just by the name. Not to mention the locals of Guyuan. They know how important Xiao Guan is.

Xiao Guan fell, and the soldiers of Guyuan City did not waver at all, which was fake.

Under these circumstances, there is the current situation of Guyuan City.

This news naturally reached Mei Yin's ears.

gave Mei Yin a place to go.

Originally, after Mei Yin withdrew from Xiaoguan, he was ready to withdraw to Lanzhou City. But he immediately went to Guyuan to join the Northern Army.

And Mei Yin's status, even the soldiers of the Northern Army did not dare to slack off, but lived under Mei Yin. Mei Yin became the defender of Guyuan City.

Mei Yin was worried that Geng Bingwen's army would attack Guyuan, and he was always worried. But soon, good news came, the Ningxia city defender was killed by his subordinates, and Ningxia City surrendered.

And Qu Neng did not enter Ningxia City at all, but only left people to guard it, and he quickly went south with tens of thousands of cavalry and came to Guyuan City.

------

Mei Yin went out of the city to greet her, and Qu Neng naturally gave Mei Yin face. Qu Neng knew very well that with his status back then, he might not even be able to meet the threshold of Princess Ningguo's Mansion, and although it is not what it used to be, Qu Neng is a veteran in the end, and he knows the severity. Don't get carried away. And Mei Yin also knows that this is not what it used to be, and she is not sure of her status in Beijing. Naturally, he did not want to offend Beijing's military generals.

So, Mei Yin and Qu Neng enjoyed themselves, so naturally there was no need to mention it.

Soon we got down to business.

Qu Neng said, "The horse has made great contributions to the imperial court. From now on, I will be called the Duke of the Kingdom."

Mei Yin smiled miserably: "The general of the defeated army, if you lose Xiao Pass, what face do you have to seek merit."

Qu Neng said, "What is Xiao Guan's loss? Not to mention, this Xiao Pass was still captured by the horses. Only by containing Geng Bingwen, a veteran, can other aspects use troops freely. Not to mention, Lintao and other places, under Zhao Zongshou, the two capital cities, the three acropolises, the county ten counts, and more than 10,000 troops, this is all the work of the horses."

Speaking of this matter, Mei Yin didn't know what to say.

Two choices, Mei Yin chose the one with more credit, but he fell into the sand and almost folded himself, and

Zhao Zongshou, however, relied on thousands of chaotic soldiers to surrender thousands of miles of land. The merit is enough to be a marquis.

The difference between this one and the other is too great.

It is false to say that Mei Yin does not regret it, but he is not jealous of Zhao Zongshou much, and even Mei Yin is ready to win over Zhao Zongshou, without him, he wants to think about the future and do things in the court, how can he not have his own people. He has been silent for many years, in the city of Xining, far away from the power field. Many relationships have been broken, and Zhao Zongshou has this credit, he is a usable person.

Mei Yin said, "This is the work of Lord Zhao. I can't rob people of beauty."

Qu Neng said, "If there is no important task of the horse, then he is today."

"I don't know how Lord Qu will deal with the current situation?" Mei Yin said.

Qu Neng said, "Fu Youde is here, how dare I leave. I'm looking at Fu Youde here, you go to Lanzhou on your behalf, if you don't make a mistake, King Yan is about to arrive. Ask the colt to entertain one or two for me."

For Qu Neng, the most important thing is not the merits of these corners of the northwest, and even the merits of the battle of Ningxia this time, Qu Neng can't look down on them, for Qu Neng, the real merit is the strategic decisive battle with the main force of the Southern Army, which can be called merit, and other military exploits are nothing more than adding some money or other rewards. Only such a big battle can be promoted.

Ye Shen is a duke. He also wants to be.

He actually longs for Fu Youde to get out of the customs at the moment and have a battle with him here. That's what he craves.

Moreover, Lanzhou has to face King Yan, and Qu Neng has to avoid suspicion.

Ordinary people who are too close to the feudal king may have nothing to do, but those who hold military power should be especially cautious.

Mei Yin said, "Hou Qu, I'm afraid something will go wrong."

Qu Neng said, "What can go wrong, you did a good job in Lanzhou City before. Just wait for more than ten days. He Shoufu will also arrive. Meet King Yan in Lanzhou. All you have to do is arrange it."

Although it is said that today's Lanzhou is not in the hands of the Northern Army. But Qu Neng didn't care at all. Because now in Gansu and Ningxia, the main forces of the Southern Army have been wiped out.

The rest of those who have not been destroyed have no courage.

It's like the defenders in the city of Lanzhou.

Mei Yin's false tactics can't be hidden for long, if at the beginning, the people in Lanzhou City were deceived by Mei Yin, but now they are frightened by the offensive of the northern army.

Even if you know, there are not many soldiers and horses outside the city. But they didn't dare to strike rashly. Destroy the tacit understanding between the two sides.

Too many people are thinking about their own way back.

Although there are soldiers and horses in various places, and the chaos is undecided, in Qu Neng's opinion, in fact, the war in the northwest has been decided. The rest of the story is just a tailgiving.

The only variable is Geng Bingwen.

If Geng Bingwen goes out of the customs in a big way, there will be a big battle between the two sides,

If Geng Bingwen doesn't go out, the following things will not be anything for him to do. It's just waiting to attack Guanzhong in the future.

It's just that Geng Bingwen thought about it again and again, and finally didn't decide to go out.

The reason is very simple, Geng Bingwen thought of the battle of the Sanggan River, and although today's Xiaoguan is not Yanmen Pass, the situation is similar to the original. Geng Bingwen was very worried, and as soon as he got out of the customs, he would reproduce the battle of the Sanggan River.

It's just that the situation today is different from then.

First of all, that is, the Northern Army is already at the end of the crossbow.

The end of this strong crossbow is not that the Northern Army suffered heavy casualties, but that the logistics consumption of the Northern Army is too great, even if the armies surrender and have some gunpowder, but the quality of these gunpowder is not good, it is not as good as what is produced in Beijing, and the soldiers below do not want to use it.

It can be said that the current Northern Army can no longer afford to fight a big war.

If Fu Youde attacks, the Northern Army he meets will not be the Northern Army in its heyday.

Secondly, that is, in the battle of the Sanggan River in that year, the Datong region had already surrendered to Beijing, and all localities would not waver. And the Northwest is different. But in reality, it's quite different.

Although it is said that the northwest region has now fallen under the control of the Northern Army. However, in fact, there were still guards who stood for Nanjing, and most of them surrendered, and the original political structure was not disrupted

。

In other words, once the southern army wins one or two big victories, various localities will also rise up one after another to reverse the situation.

It's just that although Geng Bingwen can't be said to be a mediocre general, he is not a general who can fight the immortal war, at this time, he still has a steady hand in order to be complete. This fighter plane was just missed.

Character determines fate, Geng Bingwen has been guarding the city most of his life, and when he is defending the city, he would rather miss it. Don't be rash, this is almost engraved into Geng Bingwen's bones.

Can't change it.
