Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 Another Fierce Battle with the Cavalry Walking Around the City

Taking advantage of the few days when King Qi was no longer attacking the city, Jiang Yuan sent out cavalry posts to inquire about the situation, and even built a camp outside Dongwu City.An isolated city cannot be defended for a long time. When he first arrived in Tobu City, he had no choice. Ten thousand, ten thousand of them are the people of Dongwu City itself, and the other ten thousand are young men who fled from the cities and counties that King Qi passed through. They are absolutely reliable.

The population of these young men and women has greatly increased, and every family has a little spare money. As a result, the king of Qi made such a disturbance, and the people of the Qi army will inevitably suffer.The towns are fine, the population is limited after all, but even the countryside can't survive, as long as they run into the Qi army, they will die, which is why there are so many victims.These people have a deep hatred with King Qi, and their stand is absolutely firm, and they can be used with confidence after screening.It was a waste of 5000 men to defend the city. He allocated 5000 men to build a large camp outside the city, forming an angle with Tobu City. Wei and Di Fei were the generals in the battalion, with Chen Youwei in charge.

After arranging the city defense, the scouts sent by Jiang Yuan have returned and sent back a lot of information.Looking at the situation in Handan first, Prince Rui quickly recruited troops, commanded an army of [-], and relying on the big city of Handan, King Wei's [-] vanguard troops had no way to take them down. King Wei could only wait for the follow-up troops after several tentative attacks. At present, neither of the two sides can win the other, so they are still at a stalemate.

Looking at Beijing again, the four princes and the five princes led the army... Jiang Yuan sneered for a while, it would be a joke to win with such a style of play, but it was enough to delay the Liao army for a while, and it didn't matter if the two were frustrated.If the fourth prince wins, he will definitely press the prince with the prestige of a great victory, and if he loses, he will definitely jump over the wall. This is a good thing, let's put it aside for now.As for the fifth prince, it’s not that Jiang Yuan looks down on him. This one who is full of self-admiration is far from the level of Li Tai in the Tang Dynasty and Yinzhi in the Qing Dynasty. , coupled with so many laggards standing behind him, he will definitely be defeated this time, and if he fails to recover after a setback, it will really save Jiang Yuan's strength!

The last message was about King Qin's rescue of soldiers. After reading every word, Jiang Yuan sneered.He recruited several confidant generals to read the information on the paper, and everyone was furious!

With Chen Youwei and Di Fei outside, Zhang Dahai is the highest under Jiang Yuan in terms of seniority and status. He has a fiery temper, and at this time he couldn't suppress it even more, and directly attacked the case. "General, they are really deceiving people!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, Zhang Dahai blushed, and sat down obediently, but his voice was still angry, "It has been more than a month since the San Francisco rebellion urgently recruited King Qin, even if the news spread to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Fujian, it has been more than [-] days But the Fujian army hadn’t left the province yet, and the Suzhou-Hangzhou garrison had only just reached Huai’an, and hadn’t walked twenty miles in a day! Is that also a march? It’s farther than this even if it’s carried in a sedan chair! Could it be that they Crawling?!"

Pang Liang was not as excited as Zhang Dahai, but his expression was not very good. "According to this speed, it will not take two months to reach Zhao, and it will take three months to reach the capital? Originally, the two garrisons were transferred. Because of the convenience of the waterway, Suzhou and Hangzhou can go northward by boat through the canal, and Fujian can come by sea boat by the wind. If they are at full speed, they can arrive in half a month at most. The generals thought that reinforcements were coming soon, but they actually walked Going to Beijing, still walking so slowly, this, this..."

There are also differences in walking speed. Jiang Yuan remembers that in the Three Kingdoms, Xia Houyuan led troops to march, saying that he led five hundred troops in three days and one thousand in six days, but the troops stationed in Suzhou and Hangzhou could only travel twenty miles a day. It's a lie.

Zhang Dahai and Pang Liang admired Jiang Yuan even more at this time. At first, they didn't understand that Jiang Yuan wanted to build a large camp outside the city. Why would they spend so much money when the reinforcements were almost here?But now he knows, the general has long known that it will be like this, and this battle still has to be fought.

"It's nothing." Jiang Yuan smiled, "Didn't we return with only 1 troops and defeat the Qi army? Now that we have 5000 troops, why should we be afraid? Good generals since ancient times It is necessary to complement each other, to win more with less, I say that we are enough to defeat King Qi. The 15 army of Qi State under the city is the gift of our soldiers to His Royal Highness Prince Rui!"

Zhang Dahai and Pang Liang agreed in unison. Indeed, Jiang Yuan has repeatedly defeated the Qi army, and his prestige in the army is growing day by day. The soldiers have already blindly trusted him. They firmly believe that as long as Jiang Yuan is there, no matter how many Qi troops there are. Sooner or later, the chicken and tile dog will be wiped out...

Jiang Yuan sneered, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, but it's a pity that no one can grasp it. With such a broad mind and such a temperament, how can it be worthy of being rich and controlling the world?Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Jiang Yuan decides to put aside the plan he made for Prince Rui in the past, things change with time, don't blame him for being crazy for a while.

The young man only felt that the blood in his chest was boiling endlessly, if this matter could become King Rui's edge, no one could stop him, as long as he planned well, he would be able to reap all the achievements in one battle!Why did Li Yuanming know that Li Shimin wanted the throne under his ass, but still had to let his second son build a small court-like Tiance Mansion?Because Li Shimin's reputation is unparalleled, even Li Yuan has to think carefully about every move he wants.Why did Li Dan grant the crown prince to his third son Li Longji instead of his two elder brothers, and the two older princes refused to give up the crown prince to Li Longji one by one?Because Li Longji's achievements are so great that he can only pass the position to him, otherwise the two sons will not be able to sit firmly in the country, and Li Longji will inevitably wear a yellow robe.When the prestige reaches a certain level, it can indeed crush the opponent, so help Prince Rui gain absolute prestige, so that he can crush all opponents!

Of course, at this moment, he still doesn't know that his path to heaven is coming soon, and the first unlucky guy is King Qi...

Countless people in later generations wondered if he came from the fantasy world, otherwise how could things be so coincidental?For this reason, Jiang Yuan said, I really didn't mean it, I also want to know what's going on...

King Qi's reinforcements arrived much faster than the court's.The newly added 7 troops arrived. Although there were no horse troops among them, the [-] people brought a lot of poor horses. Although they could not really serve as horse envoys, they managed to gather a "horse army".Anyway, it looks like that...

King Qi had a hundred thousand troops, and he began to have a lot of fun in his heart.He knew that if he only attacked the camp outside the city and one of Tobu City, he would definitely be attacked by two sides, but there were not enough manpower to attack him on both sides, so the best way was to use 5 troops to hold back the defenders in the city, and another 5 The men and horses defeated the camp outside the city in one fell swoop, breaking Jiangyuan's momentum.

This idea is still in line with the theory of the art of war, so his subordinates did not stop him.But what he did next was a bit jaw-dropping.King Qi divided the 5 troops into four teams on average to guard the four gates of Tobu City. He estimated that Jiang Yuan would never dare to send out the whole army, so the army leaving the city must be around 1. If the team hits the Jing army, it can hold it back, and then the rest of the troops rush to an army that might be able to eat Jiang Yuan again.

This arrangement was not very good, but no one dared to say no to Qi Wang's bull's-eyes.This Qi Wang Situ Heng is a lunatic, no one dares to mess with him.It doesn't matter if you have a high self-esteem and don't listen to others' advice, and it's easy to violently kill people.At the beginning, he felt that his second son did not look like him, and thought that the concubine was stealing, so he hacked his son to death with a sword, and then beat the concubine to death with a stick.But his youngest son, the one who was suspected of being a cuckold, no one said he was not like him, but he ignored him, obeyed everything, and loved him in every possible way.Such a moody lunatic, who would dare to go against his will?So even though this arrangement is full of loopholes and is pure nonsense, those generals still hold their noses and admit it, at worst, be careful.

In order to save time, King Qi launched an attack the next day.The weather was not bad that day. The sweltering heat of the autumn tiger was wiped out a few days ago, but the dark clouds in the sky did not rain for a long time. The air was very humid and there were gusts of wind blowing.

Standing on a high place, Jiang Yuan looked at the arrangement of the Qi army, and the corners of his mouth twitched. It was a wonderful thing among the strange ones. He was able to display such a speechless battle. He really deserved to be the self-willed king of Qi...

Zhang Dahai and Pang Liang around him were also dumbfounded. What kind of situation is this?Is King Qi a fool?

Pang Liang said: "If there is such a formation, we can quickly overwhelm King Qi's troops by relying on the guards on the city wall if all the horse troops in our city go out. If we move quickly, we can even defeat King Qi's troops one by one. If Shi and the battalion attack King Qi's troops, they will definitely win in one battle!"

Pang Liang was right, that's why only a purebred 1-year-old king of Qi would make such a nondescript posture in a flash of his brain.Although Pang Liang's considerations did not account for possible mistakes, even if it was included, it would be no problem to eat King Qi's 5 horses.The construction of his big camp is quite abnormal, and it is absolutely invincible with King Qi's [-] horses, so there is no need to worry about it.

He casually looked in the direction of King Qi, but his stomach ached because of King Qi's tricks to kill him. I'll fuck it, is this a magical horse?I saw Qi Wanggao sitting on the building car, it's nothing, just watching the battle, but the king's flag is erected high behind his back.This is the shape of a horse, is it?Do you think you are the King of the Mountain of Huaguo Mountain, and you plant a banner of Monkey King on your back to fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals?

Rubbing his temples, Jiang Yuan decided not to bother with him, it hurts his eyes to watch too much, and hurts his stomach to think about it.He ordered: "Zhang Dahai, I order you to lead the cavalry to gather at the south gate. When you hear the order, go out of the city immediately. After rushing into the Qi army in the south of the city, you must not stay there. They will rush into the Qi army in the west, north, and east of the city in turn, and finally assist the defenders in the east of the city." Annihilate the Qi army in the east of the city. After annihilating the Qi army, follow orders."

Although there are only infantry outside the city, it will take time to completely annihilate or defeat [-] infantry. The defenders in all directions are chaotic, and the defenders on the city can definitely kill these soldiers in large numbers, and Zhang Dahai and his cavalry cooperate with the defenders to wipe out the Qi army in the east of the city.

Many soldiers in ancient times were captured directly from their families, and they had no loyalty at all. Of course, it is no problem to fight with the wind, but once the army is chaotic, large-scale desertions will occur. Let King Qi lose more than [-] troops.If there is still energy left, let Zhang Dahai take the cavalry to bully King Qi, who has only infantry left, and fight three shots if there is no date, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

Zhang Dahai led the order, and Jiang Yuan took Pang Liang to stand on the tower in the east of the city to watch the battle. The movement is clear at a glance.

The hot-tempered Zhang Dahai was really fast. As soon as King Qi started to attack the camp in the east of the city, Zhang Dahai led the troops out of the south gate.What if cavalry collides with infantry?According to the defensive experience of these poor infantry, the result is to be rushed.If it was the infantry in northern Xinjiang, without light cavalry who were good at riding and shooting, or heavy cavalry who were good at charging, they would not be chaotic at all. These people already had a complete and systematic way of defending against cavalry.But this is the hinterland, and these are farmers from the Qi army who have just put down their hoes. Do you think they are well-trained and experienced soldiers?Even the generals of Qi State don't know how to defend against cavalry, those who have no education and don't even know the science of farming are magic horses, so shallow that they can see a white-headed pig as a good omen and want to sacrifice it. Can a peasant for the emperor know how to defend against cavalry?When you think this is the 21st century, don’t you know that you can take out your mobile phone to Baidu?

The [-] Qi army in Nancheng was thrown into chaos by four thousand cavalry, while Zhang Dahai led his subordinate Juechen and charged towards the west gate.As for those Qi troops fleeing with their heads in their arms, they will be greeted with huge boulders and sharp arrows flying from the city wall...

How long does it take to go around the city?Zhang Dahai tells you that in less than half an hour, even if you add the time to break through the enemy formation, it will only add another quarter of an hour.When he rushed to the east city and the defenders on the city flanked the Qi army, King Qi's [-] troops hadn't even broken through the first line of defense of the camp.

King Qi knew that his 1-odd infantry in the east of the city was suffering a huge blow, but he didn't take it seriously. The two-legged ones were not as fast as the four-legged ones. The poor horses of all the ministries were slaughtered, and the soldiers who reported the news from all ministries rode on two legs, how could there be a big sea? They ran fast?So King Qi didn't know that his deployment had been disrupted, and he was still wholeheartedly attacking the camp outside the city.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that it was going to rain.Gusts of wind blew fallen leaves and dust, and the Qi army in the East City was chilled. If the reinforcements don't come, they will really be unable to hold on...

At this time, thunder gradually sounded in the distance, one after another, from far to near, the thunder was wanton, and the lightning was criss-crossing.Suddenly a thunderbolt pierced through the clouds and hit the flagpole of Qi Junwang Banner from top to bottom. The lightning flashed down along the flagpole, splitting the building car in half and setting it on fire.

On the entire battlefield, no matter whether it was the Qi army or the Jing army, there was only one thought left in their minds—fuck, King Qi was struck by lightning!
