Chapter 318: Eat in Xiabo City
In the distant battlefield, the military flags of the Ji army's halberd soldiers had all fallen, and Cao Sui wiped the sweat on his face, and his heart palpitated. A scout of the Ji army came on horseback, saw Cao Sui's general banner, and quickly ran to Cao Sui's approach, and said in a trembling voice: "General, the camp on the east side has been captured by the Tang army."
"What did you say?!" Cao Sui's eyes widened and glared at the scout, and he asked, "The camp on the east side is guarded by Guo Yi, how can it be lost?!"
Hearing Cao Sui mention Guo Yi, the scout suddenly cried: "General Guo Yi was beheaded by the generals of the Tang Army!" Sima is dead, the army is dead, and the robes of the camp on the east side are dead!"
At this time, a shout of killing came, and a team of people and horses suddenly flashed out, the leader was holding a spear, and his body was as burly as Yuan Tiangang who had broken the formation before, and he was fighting the military flag of the wolf rider of Bingzhou.
"Let's go!"
Cao Sui couldn't afford to resist at all, so he fled to Nanzhai with his men and horses. But it was too late, and there was another Tang army in front of him who had already blocked his way, and he was the first to bend his bow and set up arrows, and the bow reached the full moon, and the arrows shot at the war horse under Cao Sui's crotch like a meteor catching the moon.
"Phew! ——」
The war horse fell to the ground with a wail, and Cao Sui was thrown to the ground, and before he could stand up, the horse's hooves behind him made a loud noise, and the Tang army general with a spear in his hand had already galloped over.
The pro-soldiers beside Cao Sui didn't have time to react at all, Cao Sui's head had already risen to the sky, blood gushing out, and the general of the third army, who had been entrusted with the important task, fell to the ground so aggrieved. The Tang cavalry behind him also rushed towards the group of fleeing Ji troops and fought.
Cao Sui's banner was cut down by Wuluo, and the entire Ji military camp next to the official road had become a pot of porridge, and there was no longer half of the strength to resist.
The Ji army that came to support them did not expect that the camp defended by 40,000 people was broken through the wall and entered the camp by the Tang army in less than two hours.
"Garbage, a bunch of garbage!"
The military situation of Qianzhai has been sent to Xiabo City, and it was learned that Qianzhai did not hold on for even two hours, and in anger, Lian Yu even lost his usual demeanor, and knocked the case in front of him to the ground.
Similarly, Zhao Luqi, the general of the Tang Dynasty who received the military information, directly smashed the case in front of him.
Zhao Luqi, who had vented a call, finally calmed down, the main generals of the former village, Cao Sui and Guo Yi were among the best generals in the Ji army, and the Ji army halberd soldiers sent to them were tens of thousands, if it wasn't for something unexpected, they would definitely not have suffered such a fiasco.
"Ask what happened to the rout, and I want to know what happened."
Zhao Luqi waved his hand back from the scout, turned to look at the map hanging on the wall, and fell into deep thought again.
The front village of the Ji army has been planted with the banner of the Tang army, and even Wang Rong did not expect that the two front villages of the Ji army were broken in less than two hours.
The brave and warlike Bingzhou wolf rider galloped from the official road, and followed the Chinese army on the official road. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was like thunder, and countless Tang soldiers along the way raised their swords and cheered.
Meng Song stood on top of the wall, looking at the galloping Tang Army Iron Cavalry, and couldn't help but admire: "The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is really magnificent, with this Iron Cavalry, I can't go anywhere in the Tang Dynasty."
Although Yuan Tiangang on the side agreed, he did not show weakness, and said with a smile: "He is a wolf riding in his ability, can he ride a horse to attack the city? We still have to rely on our armor, the first to ascend and trap the battle is no worse than them, and the mountain is high, don't be presumptuous."
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Sledgehammer is right." A burst of laughter came from behind him, Meng Song and Yuan Tiangang both looked back, only to see Wang Rong leading Wang Mao and other personal soldiers to stride over.
When Meng Song and Yuan Tiangang saw Wang Rong, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the military commander!"
Wang Rong laughed and helped the two of them up, and said, "The two fierce generals are very brave, I originally thought that I needed to fight to capture the two camps, but I didn't expect to break the camps in just two hours."
Meng Song said modestly: "Thanks to the commander's good command, if the commander hadn't sent the infantry of the second, seventh, and ninth divisions, relying only on our two divisions of 10,000 people, how could we have been able to defeat the 80,000 Ji soldiers who were guarding the village?"
Yuan Tiangang also learned to be sleek, and said: "Yes, yes, the last general does not dare to take credit for the size, thanks to the support of the military commander, the last general can fight boldly in the Ji military camp with confidence."
Just when Wang Rong and the two of them were blowing each other's business, the fierce war drums in the distance sounded again, attracting everyone's attention.
The retreating officers and men of the Ji army from the two former villages have been collected under the cover of the Ji army cavalry and withdrawn to the two camps near Xiabo City.
By noon, the cavalry pursuing by the Tang army had been withdrawn, and the city of Xiabo had a brief period of peace.
Wang Rong was in a good mood at this time, he pointed to Li Sujie who was accompanying him in Xiabo City in the distance and said, "How about eating in Xiabo City tomorrow?"
Li Sujie was a little puzzled, so he asked, "There don't seem to be any famous dishes in Bo City now?"
When Wang Rong heard Li Sujie's question, his head was full of black lines, and there was really no humor at all.
——————————
In Xiabo City, a letter was delivered to Zhao Luqi's case, Zhao Luqi opened the letter, just read a few lines of text and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Pifu, deceive people too much! Fetch my armor!"
Lian Yu on the side sat firmly on the side, there were generals, he still had to give Zhao Luqi some face. But at this time, he didn't care about it, and stopped him by saying, "The Lord can't be angry and raise a division, and he can't attack in anger.
When Zhao Luqi heard Lian Yu's words, his anger calmed down a little, and he said, "Prime Minister, our army lost the first battle, and its morale has been frustrated. The Tang army issued a war letter to provoke, if we avoid the battle and fail to come out, the courage of the three armies will be lost, then this battle will be lost. The Tang army has few soldiers and has come from afar, and at this time, our army is waiting for work at ease and outnumbered by the crowd, and this battle will be won."
Lian Yan was noncommittal, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the general is because he can't stand Wang Rong's agitation."
Then Lian Yu thought about it, and said, "Since the general plans to go to war, then bring the elite in the city, there are two camps outside the city, and the city should be safe."
Zhao Luqi nodded, he didn't really let Xiabo City be empty, but sent 10,000 people from each of the two camps into the city.
The next day, Zhao Luqi's military order, the city of Xia Bo sounded the passionate and high-pitched war drums and the continuous sound of horns, and a group of Ji troops who had finished the formation poured out from the city and the camp.
Wang Rong rode on a horse, stood on a dirt slope, and looked at the army of Ji in the city of Xiabo from a distance. This battle is more than the battle of Pingcheng, the Ji army has added a few more points, and the two Ji military camps next to the city, if they are not pulled out, even if they are defeated, they will not be able to expand the results.
However, pulling out these two camps is a matter of later, and what he has to do now is to defeat the fighting spirit of the Ji army in Xiabo City here with a dignified and upright formation on this plain.
