Chapter 3 The Battle of Luling in Troubled Times (1)
Gan Ming got off the ship with a vertical jump, and he was so good with a long spear that even Xu Yu, who was good at assassination, admired him. This boy's marksmanship in battle formations was not inferior to that of a carbine, and even the three spears of the Overlord, which the Changsun family was famous for, were not as good.
Dances more beautifully than him.
I saw Gan Ming stabbing left and right, thrust forward and back, but after several back and forth, he was so frightened that Zhuo's soldiers did not dare to step forward. Seeing this, Xu Yu and others took the opportunity to open a gap, and when they were about to turn around to save people, they only
He saw a figure flashing in front of everyone, and when he saw it clearly, Gan Ming carried Xiao Yu on his back and waded through the river to the center of the river.
"General Gan is full of courage!" This was the first thing Xiao Yu said when he was in shock on the ship.
The Zhuo soldiers and horses on the shore reacted and were about to shoot arrows. A group of light cavalry from the south came to disrupt their rhythm. Xiao Yu calmed down and looked over. It turned out that Teng Han himself had arrived with reinforcements. After a fight,
, Teng Han saw that the ship was almost on the other side, and decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops. It came and went like a gust of wind.
"General Teng is as fast as lightning, and he comes and goes like the wind!" This was the first sentence Xiao Yu said after he was rescued, and it was also the second sentence after he evaluated Gan Ming.
After Xiao Yu was surrounded by people and got off the boat, Wen Jun came to report, with a somewhat happy look on his face, and said: "On the left wing, Yu Qingwu took advantage of the chaos and led 300 people to seize Partridge Ridge, forcing the Zhuo family not to dare to take a step forward.
The soldiers who rushed down have slowly retreated to the middle of the mountain."
"General Yu, one man is in charge of the pass, and no one can open it!" This was the first sentence Xiao Yu said after getting off the boat, and it was also the third sentence after he evaluated Gan Ming.
He hurriedly and slowly returned to Luling City. After settling down, Xiao Yu saw the scars and blood on Xiao Ze and Xiao Zhan's bodies, and the swords tied to their right hands had not been released. He said encouragingly: "Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhan is
It is the glory of my Xiao family!"
Four sentences make five people successful. Most of the future achievements of these five people are based on these four sentences. Then Xiao Yu looked at the defeated soldiers and the worried Zhang Jin and others around him, and suddenly burst out laughing. Everyone was surprised.
Looking at him, he thought that the prince had been beaten stupidly, and he laughed for a while before he stopped coughing, and then said: "This defeat was not a loss, as I lost five of my generals!
"
Everyone looked at Xiao Yu in confusion, only to hear Xiao Yu ask: "Shuai Zhang, when will the soldiers and horses from Xianghu arrive?"
Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment by this sudden question, and then hurriedly said: "Forty thousand soldiers and horses have arrived at Xianghu, plus the soldiers and horses stationed in Luling and those who have returned, there are about 70,000 soldiers and horses.
Your Majesty, we are in trouble this time!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "Shuai Zhang, if you lose, you will lose. We have to admit that we are going too smoothly. I now understand why Meng Yan wants to organize his army in Baoqing, and it seems that we have to worship in Luling."
That’s it!”
Zhang Jin's heart tightened. Xiao Yu was not very satisfied with the generals at all levels of the Qilin Army. This tragic defeat was Xiao Yu's best excuse and the most powerful reason for reorganizing the army. The old subordinates he brought over were good
The day has come to an end, but I really have nothing to say, and it is really necessary to sort things out.
Xiao Yu ordered the closure of Luling City, and all troops and horses were recuperating in Luling City, waiting for possible siege in the next few days. He ordered the Qilin Guards to send out the most elite scouts to maintain smooth communication with the left and right wings.
"Where the hell did this person come from, a small partridge ridge can be so hateful!" Fan Zhenshi looked at the partridge ridge not far to the right of his camp.
"General, calm down. If you think the partridge ridge is ugly, just pull it out. Why are you so angry!" Zhuo Dingfeng comforted him.
"Mr. Zhuo, look at this terrain. The hateful thing about Partridge Ridge is that even if we attack it, we will suffer a lot of losses. Even if we defeat it, it won't mean much. But it is different for Xiao Yu. Partridge Ridge
The ridge is like a nail. If we go down the mountain with all our strength to attack Luling, then Xiao Yu's people on Partridge Ridge will definitely rush over and harass the camp. Our food and grass are nearby, so we have to guard against it!" Fan Lihu looked at Partridge Ridge.
Lu Ling also felt uncomfortable all over. If Fan Lihu hadn't arrived last night, the camp might have suffered a disaster.
"Second brother, do you have any good way to get rid of him?" Fan Zhenshi couldn't wait to pull out this nail on Partridge Ridge.
Fan Lihu shook his head and said: "Brother, I told you that it doesn't make much sense for us to capture him. He is just a scabies disease and is not a serious problem. As long as a team of partial troops watch them die at the mountain pass, the most important thing for us now is to deal with Xiao Yu.
, his reinforcements have arrived, and since we failed to kill him yesterday, we have lost the best opportunity to recapture Luling. We can’t wait any longer and besiege the city immediately before they are ready!"
Zhuo Dingfeng really didn't know how to grasp the timing on the battlefield, but from a political point of view, he agreed with Fan Lihu's opinion. The footing was not stable, and it was time to attack. Fan Zhenshi failed to take advantage of it this time.
Naturally, Xiao Yu didn't dare to say anything. After all, Fan Lihu was the commander-in-chief of the Chuzhou Army.
Fan Lihu arranged for eight thousand sergeants of the Chuzhou Army to defend Partridge Ridge at the mountain pass. The rest of the Chuzhou Army and Zhuo's troops went down the mountain and built a pontoon bridge to march towards Luling.
"Zhang Shuai, what do you think of the news about Nanya?" Xiao Yu has recovered from yesterday's downfall.
"Fan Lihu's arrival is a good thing for our Qilin Army. Fan Lihu is in Luling, which means he is not in charge of Chuzhou. Can the prince of the county ask Zhong to prepare it?" Zhang Jin said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
Look.
"My subordinates think that we should spend some time with Fan Lihu first and give Zhong more time. What do you think of the prince?" Ying Zongyue also had a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time on his face. Fan Lihu was doing something when he left Chuzhou.
die.
Zhang Jin looked at Ying Zongyue with admiring eyes, and Ying Zongyue responded with a smile. This was a rare agreement between the two.
"Okay, since you want to play, let's play it seriously. If the situation becomes bigger, who among you is willing to fight Fan Lihu?" Xiao Yu glanced at everyone.
Most of the people in the hall have experienced the power of the Fan brothers, and they feel a little bit shadowy in their hearts. However, Xiao Cong and Wang Zongqing's eyes almost fell off.
"If the prince trusts me, I will be willing to give it a try!" Gan Ming, who was praised as "full of courage", said in a loud voice.
"General Gan is still injured, and I have important matters to entrust to you. Let's recuperate for the time being." Xiao Yu rejected Gan Ming's request to fight. The battle of Luling hinged on the word "defend". Although Gan Ming was brave, he was not
Xiao Yu actually already had a candidate in his mind for the best general to defend the city. Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Jin.
When Zhang Jin saw Xiao Yu looking at him, he immediately understood and said: "There is someone who has been recommended as the final general."
"Oh? Zhang Shuai, please speak." Xiao Yu's cooperation was flawless.
"Yu Qingwu from the left wing joined the army, General Yu. During yesterday's chaos, he could still think of going up to Partridge Ridge to sneak attack on Zhuo's camp. Now Fan Lihu has been forced to separate 8,000 elite troops from various prefectures for defense. General Yu can entrust him with important tasks."
Xiao Yu was very satisfied when he heard Zhang Jin's tacit cooperation and said: "General Yu is worthy of the heavy responsibility. General Yu, don't you know what you are willing to do?"
There was no reason why Yu Qingwu was unwilling. He was doing well in Bai Zejun, but he didn't know that Meng Yan wanted to organize the army. After discussing with Teng Han, he decided to bid farewell to Meng Yan. Unexpectedly, Meng Yan had to stop him and introduced him instead.
The two came to serve in the Qilin Army. Of course, the Qilin Army also rejected their arrival, but Xiao Yu treated them well. After yesterday's battle, they finally gained a firm foothold in the Qilin Army. Just now Xiao Yu's
When asked, Yu Qingwu believed that he was capable of guarding Luling, but he didn't want to knock his newly established footing off by grabbing credit. However, someone recommended and Xiao Yu appointed him as an exception. He quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
Said: "I am willing to accept my order! I will never let go until I tear off a bite of Fan Lihu's flesh!"
What he said was true. It was not like the loud slogans of other people. Xiao Yu was even more appreciative, but he felt a little sad in his heart. The people trained by Meng Yan were easier to use than the people under his command. He said: "Everyone
, I have something to say first today. All the defense of Luling City will be handed over to General Yu Qingwu. If there is anyone who disobeys the order, go to Beiya yourself!" After saying this, he threw a pure silver Qilin token to Yu Qingwu. This is
Being second only to the Qilin Golden Order in the Qilin Army means that Yu Qingwu will be the largest in the entire Luling from now on, and Duanmu Yang will have to obey him.
Moreover, Xiao Yu's words are very clear. If you have any opinions, you can't raise them now. You have to work hard. It's not clear what kind of existence Beiya is, but many people have learned about Xu Yu's methods. The eleven captains who escaped from the battle...
The wailing started in Bei Yazhong yesterday evening and did not stop all night. Eleven corpses that could not be called corpses were hung on the tower early in the morning. It was too horrible to see. Some even vomited on the spot. Xu Yu's name was suddenly
spread.
"But we can't just sit back and let them fight. General Teng Han, I will give you a light cavalry force of 10,000 men. Are you confident that Fan Lihu will not be able to sleep well?" Xiao Yu said.
"The final general will definitely scare him day and night!" Teng Han was full of confidence.
After everyone discussed how to attack and defend for a while, they dispersed. Gan Ming looked unhappy. He was depressed because he could not avenge his father personally. He was about to leave in despair when he was stopped by Xiao Yu.
After everyone left, Gan Ming found that only Zhang Jin and Xiao Yu were left in the hall. Xiao Yu motioned for him to sit down, and then said slowly: "General Gan, I have an important task. I wonder if you can complete it?"
Gan Ming replied without thinking, "I will go there eventually!"
"Yanhai has been occupied by Fan Lihu, and the waterway is difficult to travel. I want you to personally lead three thousand elites to Yong'an to pick up the princess and her guests. Are you willing?" Xiao Yu did not want to force the order.
Gan Ming was a little hesitant. Going to Yong'an to pick up the princess was not an important task, but since the prince had spoken, it was hard to refuse. In the midst of the dilemma, Zhang Jin said: "General Gan, Yanhai and Pinghai are at the junction. Yong'an has always been the two.
Regardless of the territory, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the two armies are intertwined. Among the princess and her party, there are important guests from Dongyang, and the prince has entrusted his family to you. Do you understand the key to this? "
Gan Ming reacted immediately when he heard about the guests from Dongyang. He had already mentioned that preparations were needed in Dongyang City during the discussion just now. It is estimated that the people coming this time came with an important mission, and Xiao Yu also had an entrustment to his family.
Meaning, although the revenge for killing my father must be avenged, this matter is more important. I decided immediately, "I will live up to the trust of the king!"
After everything was arranged, Xiao Yu said to Zhang Jin: "If it happens now, Fan Lihu's death will come. Let him be arrogant for a while."
"What the prince said is that as long as there is no problem with Zhong Sanniang, the Zhuo family will disappear in half a year, and Jiangyou will be in the pocket of the prince." Zhang Jin said with a smile.
"By the way, Zhang Shuai, write a letter to Meng Yan for me. We are working so hard, so we can't leave him idle. Tell him that it's very difficult for me here, and ask him to try his best to contain the Gu family's troops. How do you word it, Zhang Shuai?
Just think about it."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful. If Shaogong adds another fire, Zhuo's death will be faster. Besides, our pestering Zhuo will also reduce the pressure on Shaogong, isn't it? It's mutually beneficial!" Zhang Jin finished.
Then laughed.
"Zhang Shuai, let's see how the world changes."
