Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

The sergeant standing aside immediately stepped forward to check the situation, and then quickly came to Zhai Mo, "Master Du Shi, Tang Jing is dead."

Zhai Mo nodded, and then came outside the prison where Shen Mao was, "Open the prison."

"Yes, Lord Toshi!"

The sergeant immediately opened the prison cell, and Zhai Mo came directly to Shen Mao, "General, Your Majesty has a decree and orders you to pay an audience at the Qinzheng Palace."

Shen Mao immediately stood up and left the prison...

The Royal Palace of Shengguo.

Qinzheng Hall.

Xia Yuan is reading the latest battle report of Fengqiu City. The battle in Fengqiu City has been very unsatisfactory in the past two days. Under the continuous bombing by Feitian Camp, the Yuan Sheng coalition suffered heavy losses. Xia Wu has asked him for help twice.

Although Xia Yuan forced troops to recruit troops in Tianwu City, Tianwu City was just a state city with a permanent population of only more than 200,000 people, and only more than 100,000 young adults aged 16 to 40 years old. There is simply not enough to see in front of 400,000 elite soldiers.

Just when Xia Yuan was secretly worried, Wan Wei, the general on duty at the Qinzheng Palace, hurried in and saluted with his hands clasped in fists, "Your Majesty, General Shen Mao has arrived."

"Let him in!"

Wan Wei cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order!"

After a while, Wan Wei led Shen Mao in.

"My lord, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuan immediately stood up from the dragon chair and quickly came to Shen Mao, "General, please excuse yourself and come and have a cup of tea with me!"

Shen Mao hurriedly raised his hand, "Your Majesty, feel free to speak out if you have something to do. I'm still waiting to be punished, so I won't drink the tea!"

"Shen Aiqing, I have wronged you these past two days. How about we make a deal between the monarch and his ministers?"

"Your Majesty, just give me your orders if you have anything to do. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it well."

Shen Mao's meaning is obvious, he won't do anything he doesn't want to do.

Xia Yuan had expected Shen Mao's attitude, and immediately said: "Now Fengqiu City is in danger, I want to send an additional 50,000 troops to Fengqiu City, and I want to ask the general to lead the army in person. I wonder what the general wants? "

"Your Majesty, we have made an agreement that the ministers will not participate in any political affairs within one year. Your Majesty should hire someone else to lead the troops to fight!"

"Shen Mao, you openly resisted the imperial decree on the battlefield, and now you refuse to lead troops. Do you still have me as the emperor in your heart?"

"Now that I, Dasheng, have reached a critical moment of life and death, the one-year agreement between us has no meaning. If the general resists the decree, then I will have no choice but to act in accordance with the law."

Shen Mao suddenly thought of Tang Jing, who had just died in prison. It was obvious that Xia Yuan was trying to scare the monkeys. It seemed that if he insisted on not leading troops, not only would he die, but his family would also be harmed.

Shen Mao was not afraid of death, but he did not want to harm his relatives. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded, "Your Majesty, I can agree to lead troops to reinforce Fengqiu City, but I also have a condition. I hope your Majesty will grant your permission."

Shen Mao agreed to lead the troops, and Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, most of the generals in Dasheng who were good at recruiting and fighting were almost dead. Otherwise, Xia Yuan would not have forced Shen Mao like this.

"Tell me! What are the conditions?"

"I want to take my two sons with me. They are both soldiers. This request is not too much, right?"

Shen Mao has a total of three sons and one daughter. Xia Yuan thought about it carefully and nodded immediately, "Okay! General, it is not advisable to delay the military affairs. You go home immediately to prepare and lead the army to set off in an hour."

Shen Mao cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

An hour later.

Shen Mao led an army of 50,000 people out of the city in a mighty manner and rushed directly towards Fengqiu City.

"Dad, the imperial court's counter-rebellion army is about to attack, and Dasheng is about to be destroyed. Do we really want to lead troops to reinforce Fengqiu City? Are we going to bury Xia Yuan with him?" Shen Cheng said.

Shen Mao shook his head helplessly, "Cheng'er, your eldest wife, second mother, third mother, second brother and younger sister are all in Xia Yuan's hands. There is nothing dad can do about it."

"Dad, the Heavenly Guards under Marquis Jiangling are really powerful. There are hot air balloons in the sky and muskets and artillery underground. Even if we successfully lead our army into Fengqiu City, we may not be able to change the situation of the war. You have to make plans early. !”

As soon as Shen Zhan said these words, Shen Mao nodded immediately, "Zhan'er is right. Your Majesty will lead the expedition in person, and the destruction of the Sheng Kingdom is a foregone conclusion. Unless the Sheng Kingdom can also produce a Jiangling Marquis, there is no way to avoid the fate of destruction. , At this point, we can only take one step at a time.”

When an army sieges a city, it usually surrounds three sides but only one is missing. When Yan Jun attacked Fengqiu City, he only surrounded the north, southwest and three sides. It is entirely possible for the 50,000 reinforcements led by Shen Mao to enter Fengqiu City through the east city gate.

The reason for encircling three and missing one is to give the enemies in the city a retreat, so as to undermine the enemy's will to defend the city. If the siege army completely surrounds the city, the enemy will have no retreat, and they will have to fight to the death.

The trapped beasts still fight, so the party attacking the city will have to pay a heavier price.

Shen Mao led his army south to reinforce Fengqiu City. Jingjian Division's secret agents in Tianwu City soon found out. After receiving the news, Xue Yu immediately led his army to wait on the enemy's only route.

There is a flat basin fifty miles northeast of Fengqiu City. Xue Yu, with 50,000 Jinwu guards, 50,000 leading guards, 3,000 musketeers, and 100 artillery, lined up here early to wait for Shen Mao's army. arrival.

The reason why Xue Yu did this was not because he didn't want to ambush Shen Mao's army, but because the army's combat target was too big and no one could hide it from anyone. This was the rule of war.

Two hours later.

Shen Mao began to enter the Fengda Yuan Basin with an army of 50,000 people. Although Shen Mao knew that there were 100,000 Yan troops here, he had to come.

Peng Ye, the new general of the Royal Guards, urged his horse to come to Shen Mao, "General, Yan Jun is ten miles ahead. What should we do next?"

Shen Mao shook his head, "General Peng, Yan Jun has 100,000 elite soldiers and muskets and artillery. We only have 50,000 troops, and most of them are new soldiers. Any strategy and tactics are based on the situation where the strength of the two sides is not much different." It’s useful. The difference in strength between us and Yan Jun is so great that we can’t fight this battle at all.”

Peng Ye was also a battle-hardened general, so why didn't he understand such a simple truth? However, as a direct member of the Zhao family, he had to fight even if it was an egg against a stone.

"General, Your Majesty has the intention to reinforce Fengqiu City at all costs. Don't worry about winning or not. I just want to know how to fight next."

Shen Mao thought for a moment, "Yan Jun has muskets and artillery. Judging from the experience of the Battle of Shanan Plain, sending a small group of cavalry to attack first is risking death. If the whole army charges together, there may be a chance of winning. I don't know what General Peng wants." how?"

Peng Ye thought carefully and then nodded, "Okay, just listen to the general. Let's attack the enemy with the whole army later."

After a while, Yan Sheng's two armies met in the Fundahara Basin.

Peng Ye immediately urged his horse forward, then raised the halberd in his hand high and shouted loudly to the Yan army on the opposite side: "Soldiers, the general has an order. This battle is guaranteed to be won but not defeated. Kill me." !”

"kill……"

Peng Ye took the lead and launched a group charge against Yan Jun with the 50,000 troops behind him...
