Chapter 446: Give way
Wang Xuanwei sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and quietly listened to the letter in his hand after reading the letter in his hand, and let out a long sigh.
He should have been angry, if it was him before, he would have been sharp, I am afraid that he would directly ask the giant to cut off Guo Kai's head, but the matter has already happened, even if Guo Kai's body is broken into ten thousand pieces, what can he do?
The cause of the incident was that Guo Kai had privately opened the letters sent from Jinzhou, and seeing that Jinzhou's report said that the Tang army besieging Jinzhou was no more than 50,000, it was not a cause for concern.
So this Xingzhou county guard was ecstatic in his heart, and only felt that his time had come to make a contribution, so he took 20,000 elite horsemen from Xingzhou to rush to the aid of Jinzhou, but just one day out of the city, he met the general of the Tang State, Long Ju.
Half of the 200,000 troops of the Tang army entered the Mo family under the command of Long Ju, and their strength was not weaker than Xiang Chu's 100,000 soldiers and horses.
The results are predictable.
After a big defeat, Guo Kai wanted to flee back to Xingzhou, but the partial dragon horse had already anticipated his thoughts, and directly led the troops to cut off his way back, so Guo Kai, who was in a panic, fled all the way, and was finally forced to retreat to Pinggu.
As far as Guo Kai is concerned, even if the 20,000 cavalry under his command is intact, it is impossible to compete with the Tang army, let alone fight against the 100,000 Tang army? Not to mention that after the Tang State Zhengnan Army suffered the loss of the Qingzhou ghost cavalry that year, it also attached great importance to the cultivation of cavalry, and the strength of the southern cavalry may be lacking in the strength of the black cavalry and the Qingzhou ghost cavalry, but it is not something that any miscellaneous cavalry can shake.
Naturally, he suffered another big defeat, and simply retreated into the valley, relying on the terrain to survive.
If he was someone else, he would be defeated if he was defeated, but the army he brought out was all the army of Xingzhou, and now that the air defense of Xingzhou City is weak, if the commander of the Tang Army is not stupid, how can he let go of such a good opportunity?
If Xingzhou is lost, not only Jinzhou will face a desperate situation, but the entire northeast of the Mo family may have to face a situation where there is no danger to defend.
"Is Guo Kai's mind full of feces and urine, it's not good to fight, it's very good to be greedy for merit, seeing the benefits is like a wild cat smelling meat, using such a person to guard the state, there is more than enough success and more than failure!"
Of course, with the financial resources of the public loser, naturally he would not care about such a chair, the head of the public loser, the public loser, Yinxue, sat opposite the public loser, and compared with the anger of the public loser, she seemed very worried: "What now? Xingzhou is an important town, originally guarded by 50,000 troops, even in front of 200,000 Tang troops, it is enough to protect itself, but now that Xingzhou's elite is exhausted, and there is no county guard in the city, isn't it equivalent to giving it to Tang Guo in vain?"
"Of course you can't give it to Tang Guo. Wang Xuan said slightly: "So...... We need to support Xingzhou. ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked at him at the same time.
Supporting the state?
At present, with Jinzhou's troops, it is still difficult to protect themselves, not to mention that among the 18,000 defenders, only 5,000 can be called elite, and the remaining 13,000 people are almost not even arranged in a simple formation...... It can't even resist even a round of charge from the Tang army.
And most importantly, now that the 100,000 Tang army is overwhelming the outside of the city like a mountain, Xiang Chu has already arranged for the defenders to intercept all the roads out of the city, if it weren't for the carrier pigeon transmission, they might not even be able to send out a word, and they would have to break through the 100,000 Tang army to support Xingzhou?
Pipe dream......
However, Wang Xuanwei just said, not only saying it on his lips, but also having a few points in his heart: "The situation is like this, I can only lead the troops beyond my authority, and all the responsibilities will be borne by me alone." As for manpower...... I need three thousand, one man and three horses. The remaining 15,000 remained in Jinzhou. ”
"Three thousand? Gong Cheng Cha said in a deep voice: "There are 200,000 Tang troops, what can 3,000 people do? Not to mention that the 100,000 Tang troops outside the city have not yet retreated, how can the general get out of the city?"
"If what I expected is right, soon the Tang army will retreat. Wang Xuanwei's expression was calm, and his resolute lines and white temples showed a bit of light in the hall, "But we really have to wait until the Tang army retreats before leaving the city, we are afraid that the general trend has gone, even if we can rush to Xingzhou, it will not help the situation." ”
"That ......"
"So, we have to get an army of 100,000 ...... Get out of the way!" Wang Xuanwei's eyes condensed slightly, and the two eyebrows raised like vigorous and powerful eagle wings.
If Wang Xuanwei was not their general, and he was not the once invincible "Seeking Sage", I am afraid that they would now think that the person sitting in front of them was a complete madman.
Make way for an army of 100,000?
What kind of person can come up with such crazy things?
But the reason why Wang Xuanwei is Wang Xuanwei is because he dares to think like this, not only dares to think like this, but also dares to really do it.
At the same time that the people came to report the movement of the Tang army outside the city, and the three large camps began to pull out the camp, Wang Xuanwei had already ordered the soldiers in the barracks, 9,000 war horses were eating quietly in the stable, and the soldiers in charge of raising horses carried large basins and sprinkled a lot of oats, soybeans, black beans, and sorghum in the manger.
"Eat, eat. The little soldier who raised the horse looked at the war horse that was feasting, after raising it for so many years, he also had feelings for these war horses, and now Wang Xuanwei wants to take these war horses out of the city, and even break through the blockade of 100,000 troops, no matter how you look at it, it is a kind of death.
But after all, that's General Wang Xuanwei!
Xiao Bing had a sense of reverence in his heart, because of the blockade of the public loser, they had never known that Wang Xuanwei was in the city, and now the news suddenly spread, and he knew that Jinzhou could hold and stand tall under several waves of strong attacks, precisely because Wang Xuanwei was secretly arranged.
"I don't even have a chance to fight under the general, if you go to the battlefield, you have to fight. The little soldier stroked the mane of the war horse and said affectionately.
The warhorse neighed and shook its head as if in response to his words, while chewing beans in its mouth and making a creaking sound.
"After I'm leaving, Jinzhou pleases you. Wang Xuanwei walked in the barracks, side by side with the public loser, "If there is still a chance, I will advise the giant and make you a general, or I can't lead the public loser back to Jicheng...... But that's all I can do. ”
Gong Lose's eyes drooped, if he could, he would rather replace Wang Xuanwei on his own: "The general doesn't need to say much, my affairs are not worth the general's intentions." ”
Wang Xuan smiled slightly: "It's not your business. ”
Gong Chuan looked up at him.
Wang Xuanwei continued: "This is the Mo family's business. Selecting talents for the country as generals is my job, although I am no longer a general, but the title is still there, in this case, I am still a member of the Mo family, and I must always do my part for the Mo family. ”
"General......" Gong Lose's eyes suddenly turned red, he stopped, and shook deeply, "The General is righteous, and the public loses ...... It will be remembered. ”
Wang Xuanwei also stopped, stretched out a hand on his shoulder, and sighed softly: "My Mo family still has people like General Gongyi, it can be seen that my Mo family is not exhausted, for so many years, my Mo family has been on the verge of extinction more than once, and there are many more urgent situations than today." But my Mo family is still standing because there are countless people with hope who refuse to give up. ”
He used a slight force, patted Gong Chuan Cha's shoulder, and then walked step by step onto the wooden platform built in the school field, standing below were the three thousand elite soldiers he selected, all of whom were less than forty years old, with strong bodies, strong arms, and sharp eyes like wild wolves.
It was only today that they learned that the general was hiding in the big tent of the barracks, and at this moment, they looked at the figure on the platform, and couldn't help but straighten their waists, hoping that all their spirit and spirit could be revealed at this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Wang Xuanwei before he came to power still looked plain, walking on the road, even a little old, but when he stood on the high platform, it was like an emperor who looked down on the world and returned to his throne, and a fierce aura of the battlefield suddenly rose from his body.
After decades of fighting horses, he has witnessed countless life and death gunsmoke, and he still survived, and this time, he didn't think he would die.
Qin Ke and Abu stood beside him in armor, their eyes complicated......
