"Isn't this Liu Dutou?" Ye Li Yulue, the deputy envoy of Tielin Army, said pretending to be surprised.
Liu Wei's face turned red.
In the past, they boasted of making hundreds of plans at one step, pondering the opponent's ideas all day long to make them fall into the trap. But since the battle with the Xia army, they are not greedy for merit, not aggressive, not timid, not afraid of losses, and not opportunistic. The army is overwhelming.
Press him over and beat him until he loses all temper.
Today, a military riot broke out, and I ran away in embarrassment. I really had nothing to say.
"I'm really ashamed that the guilty general came here in such a hurry." Liu Wei bowed and saluted.
"Sit down." Ye Liyu ordered, and the soldiers brought the bed. Liu Wei's family was also led into a tent and properly accommodated.
Footsteps sounded one after another in the camp. A large group of sergeants wearing armor and armed with weapons, led by officers, gathered outside the camp. Before that, there were already soldiers on alert who rushed to the city gate, planning to take a chance——
Being able to start a street fight with thieves is definitely better than climbing the city wall to die.
Of course Liu Wei could hear these sounds, he just sighed secretly.
Zizhou wouldn't be able to hold on for long, maybe three months at most. A few months earlier or a few months later, it might have a serious impact, or it might have no effect at all. The matter is at this point, and it's useless to think about it.
"I heard that Liu Dutou is well-established in the army. Maybe he can call some troops to surrender? If the situation is like this, resistance is useless. Liu Dutou must also be able to see that." Ye Li Yulue said.
"You should try your best." Liu Wei replied.
He also studied several generals of the Xia army.
The Hengshan Yeli clan and the Cang clan are already an important part of the Kansai military group established by Shi Pengrou. We followed Zhu Quanzhong very early, and made very little contribution. He was involved in business, but lacked wealth, and even interacted with the Shaw family.
In marriage, the status is actually very low.
Unexpectedly, the young man came to serve as the deputy envoy of the Tielin Army and was in charge of Zhu Quanzhong's early pro-army army. He was obviously very trusted.
My son Ye Li Kecheng grew up in the Xia Palace. He has a close relationship with Zhu Quanzhong. They are almost the same father and son. Shi Pengrou wants to marry the eldest son to me.
It is better to offend Li Tangbin than to offend the Yeli clan.
"What Liu Dutou said, you are worried." Ye Liyu smiled slightly and said: "Come, come, come, let's go over the wars of those days with you. On April 70, he went out of the city to attack at night, and asked you to
I suffered a loss because of this..."
Liu Wei cheered up and accompanied Ye Li Yulue to review the battle of that period.
On the other side, Du Yuhou Zheng Yong, and the military envoy Zhen Xu in the left wing swarmed into the city with two thousand people, knocking down hundreds of Qi soldiers head-on.
"Don't do it, don't do it!" Shao Shude shouted: "You are about to leave the city and ask for surrender. You are not here to fight."
What Shao Shude said was half true and half false.
In fact, I wanted to surrender so slowly. It would have been a few days ago. I incited the soldiers to rebel, but the warriors had to be fed? Wait until we get the money and before the heat comes, then we can talk about small righteousness and profit and loss.
He persuaded the people to surrender to the city.
But Liu Wei ran away.
Just run away. In fact, it is not fatal. I, Shao Shude, just take the lead. The key is that the sergeant guarding the city gate also ran away and defected to Tuoba. That disrupted Shao Shude's steps.
Of course, I had foreseen it afterward. Inciting the soldiers to rebel was originally just a risky move, so how could it be possible to cover everything? In haste, there must be no omissions, and it depends on whether someone will catch the omission.
Fortunately, Liu Wei was extremely decisive and went directly to the Tuoba camp. General Xia, who was guarding the trenches in the city, also made a prompt decision. Without asking for instructions, he led his men to rush over and took control of the south gate and Wengcheng.
When things got to that point, half of Shao Shude's plans came to nothing. It's really hard to say whether he deserves the credit for presenting the city. It all depends on how the coach Tuoba on the opposite side reports. I would like to give him a mention.
There is no merit, it is written, 伱 means surrendering troops and generals, and there is no merit.
Rather than that, I would rather stay on a small hilltop in Tuoba and see if I can curry favor with me and pave the way for the future.
Zheng Yong was unprepared for the slow surrender of the Qi soldiers. I immediately ordered Shi Pengru to lead people to quell the chaos in the city, gather the sergeants, let us put on weapons and line up back to the camp. I myself divided half of the manpower.
Guarding the city gate, the remaining half followed Shao Shude and rushed into the city to control various key points.
Everything is very secure.
Very slowly, the troops from the front also entered the city, with eight infantry commanding and two cavalry commanding a thousand people.
Has anyone found out that they have been cheated? Some Qi soldiers did not want to surrender, we just wanted to make some money, so when we saw Tuoba Xiaoju entering the city, we were confused at first, and then a little angry. In the old city
There were a few brief battles, but they were able to change the situation.
The cavalry of the Tielin Army also appeared around the city for seven weeks, patrolling with their horses. When they saw no one leaving the city, they immediately dismounted to intercept them to ensure that someone slipped through the net.
By evening, the first trace of commotion had subsided.
There were more than ten thousand defenders in the city, two thousand were killed, and the rest surrendered and were imprisoned in the barracks.
The fall of Zizhou also marked that the Qi army was one step closer to destruction. It also meant that Tuoba was relieved of his worries and released a small amount of troops to invest in the battlefield of Qingzhou - when he encountered an enemy city on the way,
If it is necessary to attack or prepare for it, the Tielin Army is "preparing" for Zizhou and is completely contained there.
Before nightfall, the messenger carrying the good news left the small camp and disappeared into the white darkness of the western sky.
****
The Feilong Army rested for a night before attacking Ye County. They then dispatched thousands of people to weakly attack the camp of the Seventh Army of the Pinghai Army. Wang Yanwen beat the drums in person to boost morale. The defenders fired arrows into the camp as if to kill.
, before paying hundreds of casualties, Qi Binzhang ordered to stop the retreat and use attrition and harassment tactics instead.
At the same time, Liang Hanyong was ordered to lead 7,000 people eastward, arriving in Huang County in two days, and defeated them on October 18th.
On the 11th day and night, we arrived at Penglai County, Dengzhou Lisuo, and on the 70th we moved there.
I also sent people to break into the area between Wendeng and Mouping, seize the pastures, and obtain some 70,000 horses.
Muping County surrendered the city, while Wendeng defended the city. Liang Hanyong led his army to the city and captured the city at the cost of eight hundred people killed. He then defeated a group of local tyrants who came to reinforce the county in the city.
.
At this point, Dengzhou has basically been captured - at most, it was captured under the map, whether it is under actual control is another matter.
Qi Bizhang was still "teasing" Wang Yanwen.
I left more than 2,000 men to guard the city, and led 7,000 men to attack the fortress in turns, consuming a small amount of enemy arrows until the weak Dingzhuang of Laizhou mutinied and collapsed.
On October 78, just the eighth day before Dengzhou was captured, Shi Pengrou finally managed to hold on. I summoned some of my cronies, gathered a small number of horses, and took advantage of the fact that the Feilong Army that was monitoring us was strong enough.
At an unfavorable opportunity, they broke through the encirclement at night and left nearly 18,000 defenders in the small camp.
The pursuit started almost immediately.
Xue Li, the capital of Feilong Army, led eight thousand men to dismount and pursue Shishe. Fighting broke out in the middle of the battle. On the 78th, Wang Yanwen and his entourage of more than a thousand people were surrounded in Jiaoshui County, Laizhou.
Jiaoshui County was Pingdu in the previous life, and it has been managed since then, almost as if it were a transparent place. The county magistrate temporarily recruited two thousand native Tuan villagers into the city to control the Xia people. When Wang Yanwen retreated from the city, his power was exhausted, and the county magistrate
After meeting the famous Prince Liang, he was so happy that he completely handed over the defense to me.
Wang Yanwen was depressed in his heart, but he was able to show the slightest hint of discouragement in front of his superiors.
I personally patrolled the city, giving blankets to the soldiers who were shivering in the cold wind, and occasionally saying words of encouragement to calm the soldiers' minds.
"In the past, you and Yang Xingmi traded tea and silk with each other, and we were very close to each other. I have sent the young general Chai Zaiyong, and Xu Wen and others led his troops to the north. The number has reached 70,000, and they will join Wang Maozhang. Once the 80,000 small army goes north,
, Yi, Mi Danxi can go up, and if you join forces with him, we may be able to save the situation." Wang Yanwen personally added some firewood to the bottom of the rice cooker, and said with a smile: "How long will it take for the Shao thieves to retreat to Qiba Town?
The people's hearts are not attached, but the foundation is stable. Once the situation changes, the rebels will be as few as an ox. When you heard that Zhu Xuan had launched an uprising in the south of Qizhou, there were thousands of soldiers. There were many Yun soldiers scattered in various places, and there were also many Qi soldiers.
With cooperation, it will be easy to subvert Shao Thief's front. There is no way to fight the battle, no chance."
Everyone was silent. If the situation was like this, it would be difficult for people to doubt those things.
Li Keyong made an accurate decision at the most critical moment. He was defeated in the suburbs of Lu County and lost thousands of people. He was then attacked by the Khitans, giving the Shao thieves precious time. Ziqing Town was at the end of its rope.
, it is difficult to make a comeback.
If the Jin army had no brains and had waited until Weizhou to take revenge, then pursued them all the way to the south bank of the Yellow River, or gone straight to Heyang or into the middle of the river, the war might have gone in a different direction.
But whether the war is going to happen or not, as of today, Li Keyong has arrived in time to provide reinforcements, and everyone in the town is unable to save his life.
Yang Xingmi is useless!
After fighting for only half a year, they sent a thousand reinforcements and withdrew before suffering a single defeat. Are they sincerely rescuing us?
"What are you doing with your heads held high?" Shi Pengrou laughed and scolded: "What if Shao thief really takes Ziqing? We are at a loss as to whether we have a way out. Yi, there are obstacles in the way, and we have so few horses.
Are you still running away or falling away?"
Those words were true, and everyone's morale had not recovered a little.
At that moment, the soldiers hurriedly came to report that there was no small group of cavalry fighting in the city.
Wang Yanwen immediately got up and led a group of people down to the top of the city.
"Xia Jun Renfu's cavalry." Wang Yanwen understood after just one glance.
This guy seemed to know that Wang Shifan was about to be destroyed, so he actually planned to lead his people to escape. They traveled south all the way to Jiao Shui County.
The number of cavalry chasing us was very small, almost twice that of the Xia Army's Renfu Division. The two sides played a typical grassland fighting style, exchanging arrows with each other, and the shooting stopped. After fighting for half an hour, the Xia Army
The whole group then branched out and ran towards the south.
The Tuoba cavalrymen chased them for a few seconds. Knowing why, they all suddenly turned back and even tried to beat up the drowned dogs. They surrounded Jiaoshui County.
Wang Yanwen took a cursory look and found that there were probably no more than 7,000 cavalry. At this moment, the only ones appearing outside could be the Dingnan Army, coming from Qingzhou.
With 7,000 Difficult Army and 8,000 Flying Dragon Army, it would not be difficult at all. The risk of escape would be doubled. Wang Yanwen's face immediately turned ugly.
But that was all over, at dusk, another cavalry unit surrounded us.
Seeing that our horses were frothing at the mouth while running, and seemed to have collapsed and died in the middle of the race, it was obvious that they had traveled all the way from the Qingzhou battlefield.
No matter how hard you run, you will chase me even if you are a useless horse. Why do you need to say it?
Wang Yanwen's face was so bright that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
