Chapter 220: Border Attack (Second Update)
Tongchuan is very cold in winter, and the cold wind blows on the face, cutting people's faces like ice knives.
Not only is the weather cold and the cold wind howling, but more importantly, the wind and sand in Tongchuan are strong, and the soldiers who have lived in Yezhou and other places for a long time are not used to it.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in Tongchuan, and there is a three-source river flowing in the middle, so it is not troublesome for the soldiers to use water.
Wei Cang saw that the soldiers felt a sore throat every day, so he specially asked people to boil licorice tea, which can quench thirst and moisten dryness and prevent cold.
He himself likes to eat this, and he has to drink a big pot every day to feel better.
Pei Jianghai, a veteran beside him, saw him go to tea again, and couldn't help but say: "General, eat less, it's not good to eat more." ”
Wei Cang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Is there an urgent report from the Yu family?" ”
Pei Jianghai shook his head, his expression was a little sluggish: "Not for the time being, but ......"
But recently, the Fengling side has been fighting fiercely.
Wei Cang's expression was indifferent, and he said: "It's okay, the boss has been fighting for many years, don't look at him like that, he has a calm temperament, and he never panics." ”
Pei Jianghai hesitated: "But general, my subordinates still feel unsure." ”
Wei Cang sighed: "It's right if it's not down-to-earth." ”
If you are too down-to-earth in your heart to fight, it is not a good thing.
He stood up, came to the sand table, and pointed to several border passes on the map: "Longsui now has the least garrison, less than 40,000 people, Tongchuan has more people, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, originally Fengling is the weakest link, and it is not easy to defend, and there are fewer soldiers." ”
"Now that we have support, we should be better, but the North Vietnamese army won't listen to us."
"It's going to be a little tricky, but it's not that tricky," Wei Cang said, "After all, in front of the family and country, infighting is not so important." ”
Pei Jianghai stayed by his side and looked at the sand table with lowered eyes: "General, you know the right minister, he will not let go of such a good opportunity." ”
"I know, so I've already told Brother Yu, if there is any change, contact immediately."
"The location of Fengling is very special, if Daqi gives up attacking Fengling, the first one will attack Long Sui, with the habit of the general of Daqi, he may also use surprise attacks."
"It's up to the boss to do it."
At this time, in the camp of the Fengling Weijia Army, the guard was wearing a military uniform, and he was also standing in front of the sand table, and the deputy general Meng Bin and the two old generals who brought it out said: "Murong Rin definitely doesn't want to waste troops here all the time, Longsui is close to Fengling, and the garrison is the least, he is likely to attack Longsui and break through by surprise." ”
Meng Bin has a weak temperament, but he is very old-fashioned, he said: "If he raids, it is actually our best opportunity." ”
If you keep going, it will snowstorm at the border.
The soldiers will work very hard, the people will be blocked in the city, life will be inconvenient, and many people will freeze to death.
Murong Rin, the Great Qi General, naturally knew that they had to pay more for armaments, grain and grass, and if they kept stalemate, it would be disadvantageous to them.
So he's likely to have a new move.
At this moment, a shout came from outside: "Urgent, urgent!" ”
Meng Bin's expression was grim: "Report." ”
The messenger quickly ran into the big tent, and a sliding shovel fell to his knees: "Major General, the sentry is watching the movement outside the city, and the pioneer battalion on the left side of Daqi has been transferred." ”
Wei Ji and Meng Bin glanced at each other, and both of them saw the excitement in their eyes.
"Gather the army immediately, and we will go directly out of the city to meet Murong Rin."
The halberd grasped his sword, put on his armor, and strode out of the tent.
The cold wind was blowing, but the halberd didn't feel cold, because the dry sun above his head was shining brightly on his body.
Wei Ji looked at the lively scene of training in front of him, and took a deep breath: "No matter how prepared Daqi comes this time, no matter how long we hold on, we can't lose." ”
"We're not going to lose either."
Meng Bin followed behind him, and the blood in his heart surged up in an instant, only to feel that his heart was full of blood.
The soldiers quickly lined up on the training ground, and the garrison stepped on the high platform in two or three steps, standing in the position where everyone looked up.
The sun was still hot, illuminating the armor on his body.
The garrison said loudly: "Soldiers, we must go out of the city to meet the enemy and pursue the Great Qi Pioneer Battalion." ”
The soldiers below said in unison: "Kill!" ”
The halberd grinned, the smile was short, but it was so hot.
The halberd shouted, "Kill!" ”
"Webster will win! Webster wins! Webster wins! ”
As the soldiers were ready to go, the Tongchuan City Gate opened, and outside the gate was a barren land stained red with blood.
In this area, more than a dozen battles have taken place in the past half a month, and countless people have been killed and wounded.
But no one flinched, no one avoided it, and now, they still dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, to kill all the intruders.
The halberd rode on his horse, taking the lead and moving forward bravely.
He raised the long sword in his hand high and said sharply: "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away." ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
At the same time, a group of cavalry galloped out from the southern city of Fengling, and they all rode the sweaty horses with the fastest footsteps, all the way straight to Longsui.
With the earth-shattering shout, the soldiers rushed out like a rushing waterfall, following their respective generals to pursue the Great Qi Pioneer Battalion.
The garrison only brought more than half of the men and horses, and the rest stayed behind, breaking off the rear for their own army, and the main force of Daqi who remained in place to spy on the vigilance.
This time, there were 20,000 people in the vanguard battalion dispatched by Daqi, and they were all cavalry with faster legs, from the discovery of the action to the pursuit of the garrison soldiers, the difference between the front and back was only an hour, but it was this hour that made the distance between the two sides bigger and bigger.
But the garrison did not chase frantically, he only let the soldiers march at a moderate pace, like a playful leopard, playing with the prey in front of him.
Pursuing out of the city was a dangerous move, but he did not rush to catch up, and one or two lieutenants were anxious, but seeing that the guard was calm, he didn't ask much.
Two hours later, the forward sentry arrived.
"Report, report, report, Major General, the enemy has stopped."
Wei Ji's eyebrows stretched, and he finally smiled: "It's still our sweat and blood." ”
Murong Rin wanted to make a surprise attack, but he forgot that this was the territory of North Vietnam, and the Wei clan and the Yu clan and the North Vietnamese army were separated, but he didn't know that the Wei clan and the Yu clan still communicated with each other in private.
This time, the garrison did not intend to chase desperately and make people sleepy, nor was it ready to let go of Daqi.
He wants to be sandwiched at both ends, and it is best to catch turtles in an urn.
What about more cavalry? What about more people? Aggression is always aggression, here is far away from Daqi, grain and grass are stationed, if it is not for the people at the border, in order to never suffer in the future, the garrison will drag them hard, and in the end Daqi can not take North Vietnam.
With Wei and Yu, no one could invade North Vietnam.
The people understood this truth, but Sima never understood it.
