Recalling the military operation arranged by Marshal Hua Qingping recently, Ye Jingqiu suddenly woke up:

In the book of the art of war, it is said that yin is within yang, not in the pair of yang. Xiong Zihui and Luo Hu served as guerrillas, and the angels harassed Na Yuan Haogu, but they could not actually engage in battle. And Marshal Hua Qingping and Feng Qingyan go out to camp every day to challenge. These turned out to be the foreshadowing of Baigong City!

At that moment, Ye Jingqiu ordered 3,000 vanguard troops to lead the troops to the battle.

Li Jiaotou looked at Ye Jingqiu's suddenly realized expression, smiled with satisfaction, and then reported back to Marshal Hua Qingping.

However, it was said that Ye Jingqiu led three thousand elite soldiers to Baigong City, which was in the middle of the night. In Baigong City, except for patrols and watchmen, people are sleeping soundly.

The guards at the south gate of Baigong City, there was a guy who got up and relieved, his eyes were blurred, as if he hadn't woken up. He was relieving himself when he suddenly saw a figure and asked, "Who—who?" "There was no sound.

In the cave of the city gate, a group of people suddenly poured in, the big sword in their hands flashed with cold light, and after a while, the south gate of Baigong City opened inward, making a heavy squeak.

The sentry on the watchtower shouted "Enemy attack——! and the wings were just halfway shouted before they were gone.

Ye Jingqiu's 3,000 military horses all entered the city and went straight to the state government.

Half an hour before and after, Ye Jingqiu cleared the south gate, east gate, and west gate, and when he reached the vicinity of the north gate, the Geling defenders found out.

The guard at the north gate of the Greening Army is just a lower-level commander, and this guy didn't have time to put on his armor to get on his horse to meet the battle, and he didn't hold it up under Ye Jingqiu.

An hour later, Ye Jingqiu took full control of Baigong City.

The sky was bright

The people of Baigong City were surprised to see that the guards of the four gates had all turned into soldiers of the Xiding Empire, and these people were murderous. In the city, however, the soldiers of Sidin put up notices everywhere to reassure the people.

Ye Jingqiu expected that a few days later, Marshal Geling Yuan Haogu would inevitably find out about the changes in Baigong City, and in order to retreat, he would inevitably go all out to capture the city. Blocking the enemy under the city, staying the enemy, and striving for greater fighters to annihilate the enemy for the Zhendong army of King Pingdong, so how to defend the city for three days is extremely important. Ye Jingqiu thought hard, and wanted to use the art of war formation he had learned to surprise Yuan Haogu.

Ye Jingqiu boldly arranged an empty city plan: the four gates were wide open, the grass men were on the four city walls and the city gate towers, the 1,000 troops were ambushed between the south gate and the west gate outside the city, the 1,000 army was between the south gate and the east gate outside the city, and the other 1,000 troops were detoured back to thirty miles outside the south gate.

Ye Jingqiu's idea is: if the enemy soldiers arrive, he will ride alone outside the south gate to meet the enemy, ambush the soldiers left and right, and finally be met by the ambush troops thirty miles from the south gate, the whole army will retreat, and give the empty city to the opponent, it is estimated that the opponent may not dare to enter the city directly. In this way, it will greatly delay the enemy's speed. Give the Zhendong Army enough time.

On October 18, the 26th year of the Xiding Empire, the generalissimo of the Zhendong Army, Pingdong Wang Huaqingping, was the commander of the Chinese army:

"Feng Qingyan, Luo Hu obey orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to set out with 5,000 soldiers at dusk today, detour back to the enemy's Sangmu Town to store grain and grass, set fire to the camp, and attack with all your might! Then the response to Ye Jingqiu's army withdrew. ”

"Xiong Zihui and Li Bingnan listen to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to set off with 5,000 soldiers tonight, and after returning to the enemy's camp, you will set fire to the camp when you hear the sound of the enemy's artillery, and take the troops out of Yucheng. ”

Next, Hua Qingping sent ten teams, each with 3,000 soldiers, five teams on the left and five teams on the right; ambush soldiers on the road of Yuanhaogu's retreat, ambush two teams every 30 miles, ambush the enemy army. Finally commanded:

"The rest of the generals and colonels, follow the commander to attack the enemy army, and they must fight Yuan Haogu in one battle!"

But said that on the side of the Geling Army, Yuan Haogu only learned that Baigongcheng was taken by the Zhendong Army a few days ago, and he was extremely angry but deeply helpless:

The White Prince's City is not under his jurisdiction. I reminded General Naha who was defending the city many times, but it's a pity that General Naha didn't believe him!

This is also due to the factional struggle within the Greening Empire, although factional struggle is a matter of all empires, but in the wartime, at a critical juncture, this is to pit their own 150,000 troops.

Although Yuan Haogu felt angry and helpless, he also knew that he couldn't sit still!

"If Baigong City is seized, the grain and grass in Sangmu Town will be in danger. General Gru, do you have any action to find out where the enemy army is to find out where my grain and grass are?" asked Yuan Haogu.

"Back to the general, there is no movement in the grain storage area of Sangmu Town. ”

Yuan Haogu Yi groaned: "What a vicious puppet, he actually wants to destroy my 150,000 army." If any of them do not follow the requirements and act without authorization, they will be beheaded! Those who do not listen to orders, are panicked, and shake the morale of the army will be beheaded! Those who act in chaos will be beheaded!"

"Marshal, why are you withdrawing your troops? I have enough grain and grass in Sangmu Town for a month. ”

"Can't you see it yet? Hua Qingping seized Baigong City, our army has no way to retreat, and in the next step, our army must send heavy troops to guard the grain and grass in Sangmu Town, so that our army will be divided!

That Hua Qingping and the Yucheng garrison together had as many as 250,000. The book of the art of war says that if you double, you will attack it-

If the enemy army is attacked inside and outside, our army will be defeated; if we are defeated, the grain and grass of the mulberry wood will not be guaranteed, and the Sangmu defenders will not be able to resist the 250,000 soldiers.

General Nagru said: "The marshal is far-sighted, and the last general admires it. ”

Yuan Hao Gu said: "General Gru, since you understand what I mean, then I will give you 30,000 horses and horses, and quickly go to seize Baigong City, I expect that Naha, a foolish horseman, will not be able to quickly recapture Baigong City, only if my department takes it first and retreats without worry, can I rest assured." ”

"The last general will fight to complete the mission!"

"Okay! General Gru, I hope you don't underestimate the enemy, and you will succeed immediately!"

"Yes!

However, after Gru left, Yuan Haogu summoned the generals, explained the reason for the retreat, designated the generals who broke off the military horses and led the troops, and asked the soldiers and horses of each battalion one by one to strictly abide by the retreat arrangement, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

On October 19, the 26th year of the founding of the Xiding Empire, it was the time when all the armies and units of the Zhendong Army arrived at the designated place according to the order of Marshal Hua Qingping.

Yuan Haogu ordered:

The generals Lewu and Lewen brothers led 10,000 horses out of the left camp to the north gate of Yucheng to challenge, and turned into the left army after the break on the spot;

The generals Lu Yan and Su Zifang led 10,000 horses out of the right camp to challenge the large camp of the Zhendong Army, and turned into the right army after the break on the spot, and alternately covered the retreat with the left army after the break. The two roads were cut off from the rear army, and the method of advancing was used to retreat.

Subsequently, the Yuanhao ancient Chinese army put up the trumpet cannon, and then the battalions withdrew in turn.

Hearing the sound of artillery in the enemy camp, two generals Neng Zihui and Li Bingnan led 5,000 men and horses to attack the Chinese army in Greening and set fire to the camp.

Suddenly, the camp of the Greening Army caught fire! Yuan Haogu ordered that the camp should be abandoned and not rescued, and the troops only hoped that Sangmu Town would retreat!

So the Greening Army looked at Sangmu Town and left. Xiong and Li ordered 5,000 soldiers not to chase after them, and went straight to the north gate of Yucheng to meet the attack of the Zhenbei army.

In the city, the Zhenbei Army came out of the four gates, and 5,000 people from the Zhendong Army converged, surrounding 10,000 horses and horses of the Lewu and Lewen brothers.

When Lewu and Lewen escaped, there were only more than 4,000 remnants left.

After the Geling army was broken, the right army was about to arrive at the enemy camp, and suddenly three cannons rang out, and the prince of Zhendong led an army of 30,000 to kill.

When Lu Yan and Su Zifang heard that the left army had been defeated after the break, they hurriedly retreated to join the left army, but unexpectedly, the Xiding men and horses pounced like a wild bee! Lu Yan and Su Zifang tried their best to resist and fled in a hurry, looking at the remaining more than 3,000 people from the 10,000 soldiers.

The four generals of Le Wu, Le Wen, Lu Yan, and Su Zifang gathered the remnants of the army with wounds, and there were still more than 7,000 people, caught up with the brigade, and reported that they were defeated in both places, and the Xiding army was following in pursuit.

Yuan Haogu hated and said: "Pifu Hua Qingping, he actually saw through my method of advancing and retreating." This defeat is not the fault of the four of you. ”

So Yuan Haogu allocated 5,000 men and horses to the four generals, but still ordered the four generals to break off, and then commanded the army to hurry to Sangmu Town.

The Greening army was in a hurry, less than thirty miles, a drum sounded, and there were ambushes on the left and right.

After traveling less than thirty miles, another drum sounded, and another ambush came out from one left and one right.

Yuan Haogu had just repelled the enemy's ambush on this road, when there was a sudden report in front: General Gru's 30,000 horses had passed through Sangmu Town and robbed Baigong City.

Yuan Haogu felt a little calmer, and suddenly there was a rumor: Not long after General Gru, 5,000 soldiers of the Xiding Army rushed to the place where the grain was stored in Sangmu Town, and set fire to the sky - the deputy general Yu Deshui was killed, and the remaining soldiers were fighting the fire, but the Xiding army went in the direction of Baigong City!

Yuan Haogu was so angry that he screamed, knocked off the horse, and his own soldiers hurriedly rescued him, carried the marshal and left.

The Greening soldiers marched forward thirty miles in a panic, and the third ambush of the Xiding army was divided into left and right, and the Greening army was holding its head and running away.

Marshal Yuan Haogu woke up and was so angry that he vomited blood. Suddenly, there was a report that the ambush soldiers were coming, and in desperation, Yuan Haogu strongly arranged to retreat from the enemy.

Looking at the front not far from Sangmu Town, the Geling soldiers just felt at ease, and suddenly shouted on both sides: "Capture Yuan Haogu alive!"

The Greening army trembled, and everyone ran wildly.

Suddenly, there was another drum sound, and Yuan Haogu was disheartened, but when he sent someone to check, this time it was the defenders of Sangmu Town, who knew that two-thirds of the grain and grass had been burned, and the sin was not light, so after fighting the fire, he heard the battle in front of him, and came to meet the marshal in order to alleviate the sin.

Yuan Haogu was a little relieved in his heart, and Tanma reported that General Gru had captured Baigong City with 30,000 people, but he was ambushed at the south gate and suffered heavy losses, and General Gru himself was seriously injured by the enemy general Ye Jingqiu! Fortunately, the city was captured, and the enemy soldiers were taken away by the army that had come to Sangmu Town to burn grain.

Yuan Haogu was extremely angry, and burst into a foul mouth: "Is it his Ye Jingqiu again! This thief has repeatedly ruined my beloved general!"

However, it was said that Yuan Haogu urgently ordered the whole army to retreat to Baigongcheng, counted the men and horses, and the 150,000 army lost more than 60,000 people, most of the grain and grass were lost, several generals were broken, and most of the survivors were wounded.

Yuan Haogu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since I joined the army, I have experienced more than 40 battles and have never failed. Unexpectedly, half of his life's fame was buried here today!"

With a "poof", Yuan Haogu drew his sword and wiped it off his neck.

The soldiers and generals hugged forward together: "Why did the marshal bother to kill himself, this battle was lost, first, the enemy army was more than our army, second, the king of Zhendong was indeed an enemy, third, it was a factional constraint, and the most hateful thing was that Naha general, who lost the White Gongcheng lightly and fell into our army by mistake!"

"Even if I don't die, I'm afraid that the empire will also remove my reputation. I, Yuan, want to take revenge in this life, it seems hopeless!" "After Yuan Haogu was rescued by everyone, he burst into tears.

On the side of the Zhendong Army, Ye Jingqiu joined forces with Feng Qingyan and Luo Hu and returned triumphantly.
