When King Ning came to his senses and realized that he had been fooled, it was already ten days later. During these precious ten days, Wang Mingyang had completed the assembly of the army. He now has 80,000 troops with basic training on hand. Although the quality is not as good as that of King Ning
The ratio of miscellaneous troops is not the worst, only worse, but at least the size of the team has increased and the backbone has become stronger.
Facts have proved that the role of the commander in ancient wars can often play a decisive role (easy to circumvent). Once the size of the army reaches 50,000, it is the time to test the commander's commanding ability. At this time, the quality of the commander can be known at a glance. Wang Mingyang's
Most of the army consists of rural warriors, the defeated city defense troops of the three towns, plus a small number of rogue bandits and refugees. Under his strong command and Du Fei's emergency training in the past few days, this army can at least do
He pretends to be very sophisticated.
King Ning's army is composed of some rogue gangsters and some senior gangsters and bullies. Basically, there is no military discipline at all. Before each attack, King Ning must prepare boxes of money and ask for himself.
This group of elites promised: "The first person to attack the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" These men shook their bodies, raised their heads, lifted their abdomen, lifted their buttocks, and went to attack the city in high spirits. Fortunately, King Ning
I have accumulated a lot of money in these years, otherwise it would be unbearable for ordinary people to spend it like this.
All the famous battles in history where a small number of people defeated a large number have proven that an army of idiot soldiers led by a strong commander is sometimes far stronger than an army of capable soldiers but an idiot commander.
The armies in the hands of Wang Mingyang and Du Fei are getting stronger and stronger. They suppress their inner impulses and wait for the right moment to give King Ning a fatal blow. After all, rebellion is a high-consumption business and is not suitable for long-term speculation. Soldiers have to eat.
They want military pay and reward money when they attack the city. If this is delayed for a long time, King Ning will die on his own, so they are not in a hurry at this time.
King Ning then attacked Anqing, the gateway to Nanjing, as if he had just woken up from a dream. With a mocking anger, he concentrated all his troops to attack Anqing!
But his luck was really bad. Zhang Wenjin, the prefect who guarded Anqing, was a stubborn person. The city defense troops under his rule also had the same temper as him. They braved the rain of arrows and still fought hard at the city head, which made King Ning temporarily
There were thousands of casualties, but the siege made no progress.
He didn't know that Du Fei had quietly entered Anqing and was discussing a plan to retreat from the enemy with Zhang Wenjin, the prefect of Anqing.
Zhang Wenjin is indeed a standard example of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, without any impurities. Du Fei patiently listened to him say a lot of things about not giving up until the last man, and then interrupted him: "Mr. Zhang
, do you have a family?"
Zhang Wenjin was in a state of excitement and did not expect Du Fei to make such a move: "Yes, I have a son and two daughters."
"Then most of your soldiers who defend the city have families, sir? Have you ever thought about what will happen to them after you die in battle?" Du Fei said to him with a slight smile.
"When has this happened? The country is in danger! Then why do we have time to talk about personal affairs between children?" Upon hearing this, old Mr. Zhang Wenjin wanted to make a passionate speech, but Du Fei quickly interrupted him.
: "Master Zhang, I don't mean to encourage you and your soldiers to retreat from the battle and only care about yourself. Master Wang and I have already discussed that Anqing can be abandoned!"
"How do you say this?" Zhang Wenjin heard what the team was saying and immediately calmed down.
"Anqing is located between Nanjing and Nanchang. On the surface, it is an important military location. But once
If Nanjing and Nanchang were occupied before and after Anqing, they would become a living coffin~~ Do you understand what I mean?" Du Fei said while looking around.
Under the flickering light, Zhang Wenjin's surprised face was reflected. The two looked at each other and smiled!
But the city was not abandoned casually. Zhang Wenjin and Du Fei held on for four consecutive days, during which they killed a large number of rebels. It was not until they finally ran out of medicine bows and crossbows that they set off a fire and led the common soldiers to withdraw from the back road.
Out of Anqing.
Prince Ning has been tortured by the small Anqing City for the past few days, and he has lost nearly ten thousand people in four days! Of course, only a few were shot to death by the defenders, most of them took advantage of the chaos to escape when they saw the danger of the siege.
.
Prince Ning angrily scolded several of his so-called generals: "We can't even win Anqing, which is bigger than Sesame! What's the point of talking about Nanjing!"
But scolding comes after scolding, the arrow has already reached the string, and if you don't shoot it, it will be useless. He led the exhausted army to settle in Anqing.
After entering the city, the anger in King Ning's heart finally broke out! He suddenly cursed Du Fei and Zhang Wenjin non-stop, like a village shrew who had been slapped.
In fact, it was understandable that he acted like this. The main reason was that what Du Fei and Zhang Wenjin did was a bit too damaging.
When they were leaving the city, they set off a fire that burned the entire town to a pitch black state. As a result, King Ning's army didn't even have a place to stay, let alone find a room to rest. They sat on the ground and stood up again.
They're all ashes.
Not only did they burn down the house, but they also took away all the food, not even a drop of it was left. Not only that, but they also thoughtfully dropped excrement into the well in the city, which made King Ning's army confused. Drink or drink.
Don’t drink, that’s a problem!
With anger, he led the equally angry soldiers to pursue Zhang Wenjin and Du Fei's troops at night, because Anqing really couldn't stay and rest, so King Ning wanted to conquer Nanjing in one go.
On the way, he encountered Wang Mingyang's tens of thousands of troops who had been waiting for a long time. The two groups fought together as soon as they met.
Wang Chongyang originally thought that a surprise attack on the way would give a huge blow to King Ning's tired and miscellaneous army, causing them to be defeated. But what he didn't expect was that King Ning's army received inhumane treatment in Anqing City, and all of them had bad words.
It smelled like dung soup. As soon as they saw Wang Chongyang's army, they attacked them with anger and disregard for their own safety! It is true that the clay figures also have a third part of earth nature.
Originally, Master Wang's army was just a quick show force, but under the impact of King Ning's furious and violent soldiers, their true colors gradually began to be revealed. Then some people who were not strong-minded began to flee, and it was seen that these attackers were about to become fugitives.
Seeing this, Wang Chongyang used the unique trick used by coaches throughout the ages to stabilize their position - to kill deserters. Although he was a little thin, he was very skilled in swordsmanship. He killed several people in a row before he stabilized his position.
.
At this time, Nanjing garrison Liu Yin came to support with his troops. They joined forces with Wang Chongyang's army and gradually beat the excited rebels to lose their temper, and finally retreated in frustration.
This battle can be said to be the most bloody and proud battle for King Ning's army. This battle showed their rogue nature and the level they should have.
This battle was the only one that King Ning won without spending any money. After the victory, he was full of emotions: It would be great if it could be like this every time!
