Chapter 16: The Advantage Is Me

"Master, is this really okay?" Zhu Di was a little worried, "Uncle Bingwen is sixty-five years old, and he doesn't have so many eyes, this king feels that he will definitely not be able to see it." ”

Dao Yan smiled slightly, "Isn't there still that prison army Li Qing?" ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Li Qing is also choking enough, comparing his heart to his heart, and being the king, he can't see that the three fires have such a deep meaning!" ”

"......" Dao Yan rolled his eyes helplessly, "Your Highness, if Li Qing has no real ability, can he set up such a big game?" ”

After a pause, he said: "This victory has been decided, and when the imperial court learns the news of the defeat, it will take three months to hold accountable, discuss, select the commander, mobilize the army, and rush to Beiping;

With the princess's ability, these times are enough to complete the clear field of the strong wall, so after this battle, His Royal Highness should immediately lead the army to Daning, and in the name of rescuing King Ning, control the Duoyan Sanwei in hand;

Then, with Beiping as a base, directly control the river. North, Beiping is too small to support the confrontation between the two armies. ”

Zhu Di bowed his head slightly, "This king thinks the same way, it's just ...... Daning has changed his guard, and if he wants to save King Ning, he must bring most of the army, in case Jianwen copies his hometown, it will be over. ”

Dao Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, hurry up and strive to rush to Beiping within three months." ”

He persuaded: "Beiping City is not a Juyong Pass on the frontier, it is small and broken, and the next time Jianwen sends troops, it will even be more than 300,000, and there is no way to hold it for a long time, even if it can be held, the grain and grass are not enough to consume;

If it is based on Beiping, Li Qing and the others want to release water, but it is difficult to do it;

Once it is irretrievable, they will make a fake show for their own interests;

Gotta get it! ”

Dao Yan groaned, "It is certain that the next coach will definitely not be Geng Bingwen again, and if you change the coach, you may not be as good at talking as him;

We can't make it too difficult for people! ”

Zhu Di nodded, "What the master said is reasonable, then do it, as soon as this battle is over, I will rush to Daning with the army and strive to occupy the river as soon as possible. North. ”

He looked up at the army of torches being made, and he had a slight idea in his heart.

There are four torches inserted on a wooden frame, and this time, the black light is blind, and one person can hold four, which is really bluffing.

The other side.

Li Qing and Geng Bingwen were also actively preparing and marching towards the Hutuo River.

More than ten days passed, and the army finally arrived at the Hutuo River.

Geng Bingwen asked the army to set up camp, lined up accordingly, and waited for Zhu Di's arrival.

After waiting for three days in a row, on the night of the fourth day, Zhu Di's army finally arrived late.

Geng Bingwen got the news and immediately put on a posture, looking like he was going to fight hard with Zhu Di.

On the war horse, Li Qing looked into the distance, looked at the sparse sparks, couldn't help but sink in his heart, and said secretly: Did you guess wrong?

Geng Bingwen's face is not good-looking, the 90,000 army is looking at it, can't he release the water openly, right?

Soon, the armies of the two sides were only a few miles apart, and his face was even more gloomy, and he whispered, "Li Qing, you have a lot of eyes, what are you doing now?" ”

Li Qing is also big for a while, according to the number of torches, the number of people is far less than his own, but now it is a decisive battle posture.

If he fights in a posture, Zhu Di may not be able to defeat him, and even if he can pass the enemy, his vitality will be greatly damaged.

But if you don't fight, you really can't say it, so many people are watching, 90,000 mouths, you can't stop it at all.

Just when he was full of entanglement, the opposite side suddenly burst into flames, and the dense fire points were connected together, like a sea of fire.

Moreover, the torches are unusually neat, like a phalanx, and at a cursory glance, they are definitely more than 200,000.

If he didn't know Zhu Di's details, even he would have thought that Zhu Di really came here with more than 200,000 troops to fight them.

The sudden change made the army of 90,000 commotion.

Without him, it's too bluffing.

The huge psychological gap has made the soldiers' fighting spirit plummet.

At this time, Uncle Bingwen immediately began to stabilize the morale of the army, and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, 90,000 against 300,000, the advantage is mine!" ”

Li Qing comprehended in his heart, immediately mobilized his true qi, sank into the dantian, and shouted lightly: "Steady, we can win!"

Don't run, fight hard, we can win, don't run ......! ”

Originally, the soldiers were just scared and had no intention of escaping, but when Li Qing instructed them like this, they immediately started to think crookedly.

It's dark, and it's easier to run.

What's more, the owner of his own family will be transferred to the front in one go, and no one will care at all, if he doesn't run at this time, when will he stay?

One of the soldiers looked left and right, tiptoed down his weapon, broke away from the group, and then ran wildly.

When the soldiers around him saw this, they immediately followed suit.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sneaking away turned into a bright run, and countless people lost their armor and lost their armor, and they were out of control.

At this time, Geng Bingwen panicked and hurriedly shouted: "Come back, come back." ”

Li Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded, if all the 90,000 troops ran away, how could he explain to Xiao Xiaozhu when he went back?

But on the battlefield, the decline is revealed, and it is not so simple to immediately recover the decline.

Although the soldiers are straight-headed, they are not stupid.

Ninety thousand against three hundred thousand, and there is a full chance to escape, if you don't run, what are you waiting for?

Waiting to die?

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Li Qing couldn't take care of Geng Bingwen anymore, and announced directly: "If we don't fight, we will really hold on to the city, come back quickly!" ”

Geng Bingwen followed up and gave an order, telling the generals to quickly pack up their troops and then retreat.

I can't fight anymore, I can't fight anymore.

When the water is released like this, Lao Geng is also trembling in his heart, it's too much, how can he explain it this time?

Fortunately, the fourth child was also interesting enough, and did not launch a general attack, but crossed the river with grinding and chirping.

After half an hour, the army finally stabilized, and a rough estimate showed that only about 30,000 of the 90,000 army remained.

130,000 troops, a decent battle was not fought, and 100,000 were discounted, which is really unreasonable.

Geng Bingwen was so angry that he yelled at Li Qing: "Who made you cry blindly, Lao Tzu's plan has been ruined by you." ”

"Dashuai is angry, I... I didn't expect that! "Li Qing has a weak heart, and he can't pay for it.

He also understood that this time he had gotten rid of it, and the news was transmitted back to Jingshi, and Xiao Xiaozhu had to be angry no matter how good his temper was.

If the battle is like this, Geng Bingwen will definitely not be better.

"What, our top priority, it's better to rush back to Zhending City first."

"Alas......!"

Geng Bingwen sighed heavily and began to beckon the army to retreat.

During the retreat of the southern army of the imperial court, Zhu Di's northern army followed unhurriedly, neither fighting nor chasing too closely.

He chases, he flees......

Five days later, the army returned safely to Zhending City and made a defensive posture.

At the same time, the northern army also arrived in front of the city, and the two sides began a seemingly fierce offensive and defensive battle.

After a stalemate for five days, Zhu Di rode to the front of the city, and said angrily: "Geng Bingwen, open the city quickly, this king is not to blame in the past." ”

"Hugh is presumptuous!" Geng Bingwen said angrily: "In the past, Zhang Shicheng's army besieged Changxing, and Benhou held on to Changxing for more than ten years, and he never let Zhang Shicheng step into the city gate!"

I don't want to think about it, why Benhou awarded the title of Changxing Marquis! ”

Geng Bingwen said proudly, "If you have the ability, you can try it and see if it is your spear or Benhou's shield strength!" ”

"You're ......!" Zhu Di was furious, "Try it." ”

……

Seven days later, seeing that the performance was almost over, Zhu Di put down the next sentence: "Count you ruthless!" And he returned with his army.

The soldiers were full of joy, but the main generals all had ugly faces, especially Geng Bingwen.

What he originally thought was that he would fold it to about 50,000 yuan, and then retreat with the trend, and it would be a big deal to be reprimanded and punished for a few years, but now it has been discounted by 100,000 yuan, which is beyond words.

Rao is a veteran of the army, and he also feels that it is difficult to recover his life.

"It's all your ......!" Geng Bingwen caught Li Qing and scolded him.

Li Qing didn't fight back, and waited for him to finish his anger before he said: "Dashuai, King Yan has really withdrawn, should we go back?" ”

"Go back?" Geng Bingwen scolded, "Can I go back now?" ”

"So what's going on here?"

Geng Bingwen thought for a while and said: "You go and write a war report: King Yan is too cunning, he has repeatedly attacked the weak points of our army, the army fought desperately, suffered heavy losses, and nearly 100,000 were missing and killed;

However, King Yan didn't get much bargain, and Ben Hou only relied on an army of 30,000 to resist King Yan's army with a small Zhending City, so that he could not go further, so that he returned in vain......"

In the end, he is a veteran, and even the battle report is so standard, Li Qing is convinced.

However, Uncle Bingwen's record this time was too unbearable, and no matter how good the war report was, it couldn't hide the fact that the 100,000-strong army was wiped out.

He worried, "I will work on the art of the war report, but ...... It's hard to fool the court! ”

"Don't worry too much." Geng Bingwen said, "Lao Tzu has been mixed in the army for so many years, how can his popularity be bad, and now that the ministers are domineering, the generals will excuse me, and the emperor does not dare to punish me under pressure, just write it." ”

Li Qing nodded, and said uncomfortably: "Otherwise, I'll go back and help you, the emperor still trusts me very much." ”

"If the army doesn't retreat, you, the prison army, can't go." Geng Bingwen decisively refused, "It is precisely because the emperor trusts you that you have to stay here the whole time, and he will return to the court to share the pot for me." ”

“…… All right! ”

Li Qing exhausted his efforts, learned from Wenchen's writing of the song, and wrote a splendid war report, which was sent back to Beijing.

……

The battle report reached Jingshi, and the court suddenly exploded.

After all, no matter how beautifully the war report was written, it could not hide the objective fact that the army of 100,000 was folded.

For a while, the crowd was turbulent, and Wenchen was desperate to impeach Geng Bingwen and directly take it to the top of the family to exterminate the family.

At this time, the generals can't stand it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although General Geng fought a little coldly this time, but it can't be like this.

If you lose the battle, you will have to raid your family and exterminate the clan, is there any reason for the fuck?
