King Wuyou returned to Lincheng, and Zilong had also rushed over from Yue. Looking at the more mature and heroic general in front of him, King Wuyou felt happy from the bottom of his heart. Zilong and Zhuge Qingyun returned again
In front of his account, Chen Jun in front of him was no longer a problem.
The last time they used troops against the Chen State in the Xiang State, Zilong led the army to defeat the Chen army that invaded the Xiang State, and captured the Chen State Marshal Chen Qi and the eldest prince Chen Cheng alive. This time they will fight directly against the Chen State, and their opponent is
Chen Zhong, the second prince of the Chen Kingdom.
Zhuge Qingyun has quietly assembled the local army, and 50,000 troops are secretly stationed in Wolong Mountain. Fengqiling in Mengqi has basically become the garrison of the Qi army at this time, and there are dozens of large and small hilltops in Wolong Mountain.
, had long been annexed by Meng Qi, and the original bandits were either incorporated by the Qi army, or they all went home to farm.
Meng Qi is now leading groups of Qi troops, disguised as bandits, either to attack Chen's cities and plunder some grain, grass, gold and silver; or to attack Qin's cities, also to plunder some money and grain. Chen and Qin also sent out
The soldiers encircled and suppressed them many times, but most of them returned defeated.
The city of Chen State on the north side of Wolong Mountain is Jiaocheng. There are more than 5,000 troops stationed in Jiaocheng. It is the gateway to Jincheng where Chen Zhong is located. The original guard was lured to Wolong Mountain by Meng Qi and shot to death by random arrows. Now he has been replaced by Jincheng.
The guard general was called Ai Pang Long. He was Chen Zhong's confidant and had quite a lot of tricks. He became the guard general of Jiao City. No matter how much Meng Qi tried to cause trouble, he just couldn't hold on and waited for Meng Qi's men to attack the city.
Only then will he lead an attack with men and horses. Regardless of victory or defeat, he will not be more than thirty miles away from the city.
Zhuge Qingyun gave Meng Qi a plan to lure the enemy. Although he killed the original guard, he was unable to lure Pang Long. In addition, Qi and Chen Xiu soldiers could only send troops to pretend to be mountain bandits to harass, and it was not suitable to launch a large army attack.
Qi and Pang Long had fought twice before, and Pang Long's spear was even stronger than Meng Qi's. It was difficult for the two to decide the outcome, so they could only fight in a stalemate.
Now that Zilong has arrived, Zhuge Qingyun naturally has a good strategy to defeat the enemy.
On this day, Chen Jun in Jiaocheng was on guard on the city wall. Suddenly he saw dust flying in front of him. Knowing that it was the bandits from Wolong Mountain who were attacking again, he raised the suspension bridge and closed the city gate tightly. At the same time, he notified the general. Pang Long and his deputy general
Wang Tianyuan was discussing something in the government office. When he saw soldiers running in in a panic, he shouted, "What's the matter? You're so panicked!"
The soldier ignored his breath and loudly replied: "The enemy is attacking!" Then he gasped for air.
Pang Long glanced at Wang Tianyuan, stood up and walked out. Wang Tianyuan also hurriedly followed, and when he came out of the palace gate, soldiers had already led the war horses, jumped on the horses and ran towards the city tower.
Outside Jiao City, thousands of bandits had gathered in a dark crowd. They were shouting and neighing, making a mess, and they were also shouting and charging into the city.
Pang Long didn't take it seriously at all. He knew that the bandits were just shouting. They didn't have the equipment to attack the city. If they wanted to attack their own Jiao City, it would be impossible. Pang Long looked at Meng Qi in front of him and said to Wang Tianyuan beside him.
: "This bandit has been harassing me in Jiaocheng for days. If I really relied on my skills, I could capture him in thirty rounds. But if I can't defeat this guy, I will run away. I can't chase him far, so let him
Becoming increasingly arrogant!"
Since Wang Tianyuan was captured by the Qi army in the last battle of Xiangcheng, he was released to the Chen Kingdom following the peace talks between Qi and Chen. With such a catch and release, he could be regarded as someone who had experienced the war with Marshal Chen Qi, so he was naturally captured by Chen Qi.
Qi regarded it as his own. This Jiaocheng was a border town, and the houses were controlled by Chen Qi. The general was under the command of the second prince Chen Zhong. Naturally, Chen Qi was not willing to let go, so he sent his own people. There had been Chen Qi before
The general who was sent was found guilty by Pang Long and was driven back.
Wang Tianyuan has a rough temper and a fearless character. As soon as he arrived in Jiaocheng, he had a quarrel with Pang Long. Pang Long wanted to find something wrong and kicked him out, but then he thought about it, the eldest prince's faction was He would not give up his place easily. After expelling Wang Tianyuan, he would send people here, so he pretended to make peace with Wang Tianyuan. In Pang Long's view, although Wang Tianyuan was rough, such a person was easy to deal with.
Wang Tianyuan was a rough man on the outside, but he was also careless on the inside. As soon as he arrived in Jiaocheng, he deliberately contradicted Pang Long and refused to be suppressed by Pang Long. On the contrary, Pang Long tolerated it, did not cause any trouble, and even tried to comfort Wang. Tianyuan also knew how to give up when things were good, so he naturally showed respect to Panglong. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, Panglong and Wang Tianyuan seemed to be extremely polite and cooperative.
Wang Tianyuan concentrated on training with the soldiers in the military camp and did not participate too much in the affairs of the city. When Pang Long saw Wang Tianyuan fighting for his right to govern the city on May 1st, he slowly relaxed his guard. Wang Tianyuan Cao The training of the soldiers was very structured, and Pang Long was happy to let Wang Tianyuan stay in the military camp day by day. However, seeing Wang Tianyuan mingle with the soldiers day by day, Pang Long was also a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything wrong. It's just that for the soldiers Several generals held it tightly in their hands.
Wang Tianyuan has been in Jiaocheng for half a year. Naturally, he has fought twice with Meng Qi, and they are equally matched. First, it is difficult to distinguish him. Now when he saw the general Pang Long talking about this, he laughed and said: "General Pang, he is a The thief can't do anything to us, so why bother with him. I see that he has three to two thousand men under his command, and we only have five thousand men in the city. We have more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to suppress it. We just asked him to make a fuss outside until noon, and they naturally Disperse!"
Pang Long looked outside, but he came up with a plan in his heart: Why not use the hands of bandits to get rid of this deputy general! So Pang Long said to Wang Tianyuan: "Vice General Wang, when you say this, you should call me Think of a plan!"
Wang Tianyuan was looking at the bandits outside the city. When he heard Pang Long say this, he said "Oh" and turned back to look at Pang Long.
Pang Long continued: "This gang of bandits is making such a fuss now that they will indeed be gone by noon, and we can take the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop."
Wang Tianyuan nodded and asked: "General Pang means that when the bandits retreat, they will suddenly send troops to pursue them and disrupt them?"
Pang Long nodded and responded: "That's exactly what I mean."
Wang Tianyuan thought for a while and asked: "Who does General Pang think should pursue him?"
Pang Long looked at Wang Tianyuan and thought to himself: Of course it is you. But he said: "I will go after him myself~" After saying this, he deliberately pondered.
Wang Tianyuan could also see that Pang Long basically wanted him to leave the city. If he won, it would be a good strategy for the general; if he lost, he would either be killed by bandits, or he would be blamed for the defeat.
Wang Tianyuan chuckled and said: "General Pang, we fought with the bandit several times and defeated him several times. However, according to your military order, we were not allowed to pursue him, so we chased him to the front of the mountain and hurried back. , this time the general asked for orders to bring two thousand troops and horses to defeat these bandits in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Pang Long was secretly happy, but he said: "Vice-General Wang is really brave. Then this time, Vice-General Wang will bring an army. When they slack off and retreat, he will defeat them in one fell swoop and kill the leader of the thieves." If you take it, you can save me from the trouble in Jiaocheng and give the people peace!"
Wang Tianyuan cursed in his heart, but responded: "General Pang has a good plan. I will go and gather all the troops right away. When you give the order, I will kill the general and go out until I get the head of the thief leader!"
Pang Long chuckled and said: "The Vice President's words are exactly what I want. Then I will hold a celebration banquet in the city and wait for the general to return victoriously!"
Wang Tianyuan clasped his fists and said: "I have the order!" He turned around and went down the tower. He ordered two thousand Qingqi from the army and went to the city gate to wait. Pang Long sneered secretly on the tower. There were several confidants around him.
They also raised their thumbs secretly at Pang Long, and they laughed tacitly.
Outside the city, Meng Qi let his men yell and curse for a long time. Seeing that it was almost noon, the scorching sun was high, and the people around him were all thirsty, Meng Qi raised his sword to signal. The men and horses under his command calmed down.
Then following Meng Qi, the king slowly retreated.
Pang Long saw clearly from the city tower and ordered his men to send Wang Tianyuan to prepare. As soon as the city gate opened, he would rush out and kill the bandits. Then he asked the soldiers to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.
Wang Tianyuan and his two thousand Qingqi watched as the city gate opened and they rushed out like a gust of wind. The two thousand Qingqi rushed towards Meng Qi who was trying to retreat to the stronghold.
Meng Qi was frightened and hurriedly shouted to his men to evacuate quickly. In this way, they fled in a panic and pursued closely, and the two groups of people were far away from Jiaocheng.
On the tower, Pang Long looked at Wang Tianyuan who was getting away, and snorted a few times coldly. Then he sighed softly. The confidant beside him looked at Pang Long and asked: "General, why are you sighing? Is it still possible?"
Do you feel sorry for Vice General Wang?"
Pang Long shook his head and said: "I think this attack, if I am led by bandits into the mountains to ambush, it will be a pity to lose two thousand of my elite troops in vain!" A general next to him asked: "Do we need to go out of the city to respond?"
Pang Long looked at him and snorted, and the general quickly bowed his head and fell silent.
Meng Qi and his men fled desperately for a while, but Wang Tianyuan and his Qingqi were unable to catch up. Looking ahead was Wolong Mountain. As he ran, Meng Qi shouted to Wang Tianyuan behind him: "I am ambush in the mountain ahead."
If you lose the manpower, if you dare to catch up again, your entire army will be destroyed!"
A school captain beside Wang Tianyuan reminded him: "General Wang, there are mountains and forests in front of us. We have chased two to thirty miles in one breath and are far away from the city. I'm afraid there will be inconvenience, so we might as well withdraw our troops!" But Wang Tianyuan said to
He said: "If the thief really had an ambush, he would tell us loudly like this! He didn't expect that we would attack, and he was being chased so hard that he thought of threatening us so that we could return to the city. We just need to chase after him in one go.
, we will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!”
The captain thought the same thing, so he didn't say anything, just followed him and pursued him with all his strength.
Meng Qi led his men into the forest and immediately ordered everyone to disperse. He led a hundred people and ran to the foot of a mountain. Wang Tianyuan chased him to the edge of the mountain forest, stopped the team, looked at Meng Qi's figure, and ordered
A school captain led a large group of people to wait outside the forest. If he saw that he was surrounded, he would rush in to rescue him. Otherwise, he would just stay outside the forest. If he was attacked, he would quickly retreat into the city. Wang Tianyuan took five hundred light cavalry.
