Chapter 161 Breaking the city gate with a hammer, Taishan bandits ambition
The surrender of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others excited Chishiro Wang Bo. The strength of the Taishan bandits increased greatly, which made the ambitious Wang Bo no longer satisfied with just being the king of Taishan County, but also wanted to occupy the entire Xuzhou and then become the king...
…and then unite with other forces to overthrow the Han Dynasty and conquer the world.
Wang Bo thought very well, and he also had the capital. He had many capable ministers under his command, plus the newly invested Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Chen Youliang, Li Chui and others. Even if their loyalty was not high, judging from the situation, in order to deal with Tao
Qian, Qi Jiguang and other Han generals will not be able to break away from Taishan bandit King Bo in a short period of time.
At this time, the bandits of Taishan County in Xuzhou, Zhishi Lang Wang Bo, hosted a banquet for Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others. During the banquet, they discussed how to deal with Qi Jiguang and Tao Qian's army!
At this time, Li Chui, a poisonous scholar, said that the Han army did not know that Wang Bo and Chen Shengjun had merged at the moment. The enemy was exposed and we were hidden, so we could take the opportunity to ambush...
As soon as this statement came out, the eyes of all the generals present brightened up and cast admiring eyes on Li Chui. This statement was indeed feasible. Qi Jiguang and others did not even know Taishan County Zhishi Lang Wang Bo!
If Qi Jiguang rashly leads the army into Taishan County, Wang Bo can hide in the dark with his men and use traps, tricks, field battles, etc. to gradually reduce the number of Qi Jiguang's army, and then fall apart and turn into ashes.
"Mr. Li Chui's wonderful idea, I, the king, would like to offer you a glass of wine."
Wang Bo took a fancy to Li Chui's talent, expressed his respect and admiration, raised the bowl filled with fine wine, and was all smiles!
Li Chui's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Bo's move, and then he suppressed his inner thoughts very well. It would be unkind for Chen Shengjun's current military advisor to abandon Chen Sheng and switch to Wang Bo.
Even though I was kidnapped by Chen Sheng, I was so touched by his kindness to me that I would not turn around and seek refuge with Wang Bo!
When Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others saw that Li Chui did not accept Wang Bo's toast, they all felt relieved. Then, in order to ease the embarrassment, Chen Sheng stood up and expressed his gratitude to Wang Bo.
The banquet lasted for about half an hour, and the generals in Wang Bo's army had already become acquainted with General Chen Shengjun. Among them, Chen Youliang had sex with the generals in Wang Bo's army: Nao Tianlong, Peng Hu, Guo Zihe, Guo Fangyu, and Bai Yusuo.
good!
All we have to do is offer incense, kneel down, and become brothers...
Chen Youliang was full of scheming. Although he followed Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others to temporarily join Wang Bo, his ambition made him charming and he had a close relationship with Wang Bo's generals!
At the end of the banquet, Zhishi Lang Wang Bo already understood the general strength of Tao Qianjun and Qi Jiguangjun. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle...
"Report! The Han army has arrived in Taishan County!"
A scout came to report the situation, which made Nazhi Shilang and Wang Bo furious. He did not go to trouble the Han army, but they came to trouble him? Since he dared to go to Taishan County, he must give these Han troops some color.
Look!
Wang Bo was furious, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned his two most trusted generals, Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai.
Order the two of them to bring 10,000 soldiers together with Wu Guang to stop the ambush of Qi Jiguang and others! Li Chui's words kept echoing in Wang Bo's mind.
There are many dense forests and mountains in Taishan County, which can be hidden in the mountains and forests. With the help of fire attacks or traps, one soldier will not lose the life of Qi Jiguang and others!
"The general will obey his orders"
The second general took the order and immediately called Wu Guang from Chen Sheng's army to make suggestions for the army. After all, Wu Guang knew more about the situation of Qi Jiguang and Tao Qian's army...
Having him guide or help save Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai some unnecessary trouble.
As a result, Qi Jiguang and others did not know that there was an ambush and rushed into the trap. I am afraid that heavy casualties would be inevitable!
After the second general received the order, he ordered tens of thousands of people to march southward towards Fenggao and Liangfu counties on the edge of Taishan County in the south.
Turning to the perspective of Qi Jiguang and others, they headed north to Taishan County, marching cautiously along the way for fear of encountering an ambush by Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others.
After arriving in Taishan County, they sent scouts to inquire about the news. It was better not to inquire, but once they inquired, the traces were exposed!
Zhishilang Wangbo had been dominating Taishan County for some time, and there were hidden lines everywhere. The scouts sent out by Qi Jiguang asked a woodcutter for information. The woodcutter directly understood the scout's ideas. After lying about the situation, he quickly
Report the situation to the nearby hidden leader.
The secret leader reported the information to Chishiro Wang Bo... Less than two days after Qi Jiguang's army entered Taishan County, Wang Bo knew the whereabouts of Qi Jiguang and others.
In addition to sending his trusted generals Sun Hua and Zhao Wanhai to fight, Wang Bo also asked Chen Sheng, Chen Youliang, Li Chui and others to lead his own soldiers to conduct traps and ambush on the road that Qi Jiguang's army must pass.
Dual layout, just waiting for Qi Jiguang and others to break in...
Extremely abominable!
Compared with Chen Sheng, Wang Bo had some brains. In addition, he consulted Li Chui, a poisonous scholar, for his layout and planning. This allowed his strategy to be continuously improved and its feasibility was as high as 80%.
Qi Jiguang and others did not know Chi Shilang and Wang Bo. After listening to the scouts who came back to report the situation, they headed north towards Fenggao.
"Ahem! Taishan County is prosperous. It should not have been destroyed by thieves..."
Qi Jiguang led his army along the way, and there was no tragic situation in Taishan County where there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles and bones were exposed in the wild.
Not to mention being completely wealthy, it is still achievable with barely enough money! Qi Jiguang praised the Taishan County Governor for his wisdom, but little did he know that the Taishan County Governor had been emptied out by Wang Bo and turned into a puppet.
As the uncrowned king of Taishan County, how could Wang Bo see that the people under his rule were in dire straits? He was also a people rebel, so he knew the dangers of people's rebellion. Therefore, after the uprising was successful and the county governor was ousted, he sent his subordinate officials to carry out an attack on the entire Taishan County.
Governance.
At the same time, eyeliners and the like are all over every corner of Taishan County...
Qi Jiguang had no idea that his idea was wrong. If he knew that these prosperous scenes were all caused by Wang Bo, the rebel, he didn't know what his expression would be like.
Maybe it’s surprise, maybe it’s surprise, or maybe it’s pity!
"The army marches"
Qi Jiguang was extremely satisfied with Taishan County and thought he was overly worried. Taishan County was prosperous, so how could there be thieves? Perhaps Zang Ba was overly worried.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment!
Qi Jiguang's army arrived in Fenggao County and was about to enter to rest. However, they were blocked outside the city and refused to enter... What's going on?
"General, I feel something is wrong, but I don't know where the problem is. Let's not enter hastily!"
Liang Shitai rode to Qi Jiguang's side and persuaded him. This is true. He saved the lives of all the generals in Qi Jiguang's army!
When Qi Jiguang arrived outside Fenggao County, he saw that the city gate was not open, so he prepared to lead his army and shouted loudly. Under the city wall, Sun Hua led five thousand archers on standby, waiting for Qi Jiguang to approach without hesitation.
City, once again poke your head out, thousands of arrows will be fired!
"What you said is absolutely true! Let's order the scouts to go in and investigate first. We must be extremely cautious when marching and don't be careless in the slightest."
After speaking, Qi Jiguang waved his hand and sent out a scout army of more than ten people. Let them enter the city first to collect information!
If there is an ambush in the city, the army will avoid the pain of losing troops and generals. If there is no ambush, then the army will enter the city...
On the battlefield, scouts are an indispensable part of gathering information. After all, unlike in the modern era, there are a lot of tools for exploring intelligence such as drones, thermal sensors, and radars!
This is also an area where Yuan Jun still needs to strengthen. After all, scouts are also soldiers. If they arrive at a place, they will lose a lot of scouts.
At the end of the battle, the soldiers were killed by the bandits just for serving as scouts...
Then again, the scouts sent out by Qi Jiguang were never heard from again after entering the city. They had been told to come back in a quarter of an hour, but it was almost half an hour now, and none of the dozen or so scouts were seen.
return!
Isn't this clear enough?
"Hey, thanks for the reminder, brother, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses in this battle!"
Qi Jiguang patted Liang Shitai beside him and said gratefully. Then he began to discuss countermeasures on how to eliminate the thieves in the city!
Qi Jiguang and others did not know how many thieves there were in total. The lion fought against the rabbit and they tried their best, so Qi Jiguang and other generals did not take it lightly...
"Where is Liang Shitai?"
"The end is here!"
"I order you to be the vanguard, and Yang Zhi to be the deputy general! Lead three thousand soldiers to attack the city, form a shield formation for defense, and break open the city gate."
Qi Jiguang gave this order very well. Liang Shitai was already thirsty for the big hammer in his hand, so he bent over and took the order, then ordered the army to march towards the city wall.
Pushing carts, forming a circular formation, and carrying large shields, Liang Shitai's army was like a giant steel beast, slowly advancing towards Fenggao City Wall.
The Fenggao city wall was not particularly strong, let alone the city gate. The thieves were lying in wait in the city. After Liang Shitai's army entered the shooting range, they leaned out, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired thousands of arrows.
Unfortunately, he had already been prepared. The feathered arrows were like raindrops, falling on the 'steel beast', causing zero damage to Liang Shitai's army.
Liang Shitai's army slowly moved to the city gate and pushed forward with their chariots. The city gate made a loud roar and creaking noise. There were even many soldiers under shields who pushed hard to push the city gate!
In about a quarter of an hour, the city gate had reached the edge of collapse, but it was still a little short of it.
"Get out of the way, I'm coming, General."
Seeing that the city gate had not fallen down, Liang Shitai roared angrily, swung two big hammers in his hands, and hit the city gate with all his strength, only two hammers came down.
The huge wooden city gate collapsed, and the city gate opened!
"Soldiers, kill!"
When Qi Jiguang saw the city gate open, he led the remaining generals to attack and file into the city. At this time, the bandit army was confused and did not expect that the city gate would be knocked down by Liang Shitai's two hammers.
(The reason why the city gate collapsed was mainly due to the hard work of the soldiers before, which made the city gate close to falling. Liang Shitai hit the key point with two hammers, which caused the city gate to collapse.)
In normal times, even a hundred hammer blows might not be able to knock down the city gate!
When the thieves in the city saw the Han army filing in, they were shocked. Sun Hua, the leader of the thieves, organized the army to continue the counterattack, and ordered all the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, take out their swords from their waists, and fight hand-to-hand with the Han army...
Speaking of which, I have to mention Yuan Jun's armor configuration. Yuan Shu has a system mall and so many summoning points, but he doesn't know how to use it on the blade. He only knows how to summon talents, but he doesn't know how to redeem some refined weapon production diagrams or
Hard armor crafting diagram.
This hand-to-hand battle highlights the seriousness of the problem. There is not much difference in strength between the two armies. In terms of equipment, Yuan Jun may be better, but only a little bit better...
In hand-to-hand combat, Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi showed their prowess. However, the number of soldiers under their command was less than the number of rebels, so the vanguard suffered heavy casualties!
If Yuan Jun's soldiers were all equipped with steel knives and strong armor, making the thieves invulnerable, then the situation in this battle might be different.
The battle between the two armies is coming to an end, and the addition of Qi Jiguang and others is like the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Seeing that this was not good, Sun Hua fled with more than a thousand soldiers under his command and ran towards the place where Zhao Wanhai was hiding.
"General, I am willing to pursue and kill the thief."
Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi said in unison, they saw Sun Hua's defeated troops fleeing, the flags crooked and broken, the soldiers panicked, their baggage and weapons fell to the ground, and even the shoes of the thieves ran away...
Seeing this, Qi Jiguang laughed loudly, and then agreed with Liang Shitai and Yang Zhi to pursue the bandits.
This thief has made a big mistake! As the saying goes, don't chase a poor enemy. Yang Zhi and Liang Shitai fell into an ambush by thieves on this trip, and the sheep fell into the tiger's mouth!
Although Sun Hua was defeated and fled, he already knew the outcome. After all, Wu Guang once said that Qi Jiguang was brave and resourceful, not just an ordinary person... He should always be vigilant when dealing with such a powerful opponent.
His defeat and escape was also a part of the plan. It was the defeat and the loss of the army that attracted the Han army to pursue him. When the Han army generals arrived at the ambush area, they were doomed!
The reason why it was said to be a dead end was precisely because Zhao Wanhai had placed a lot of flammable materials and kerosene in the ambush, and the weather was dry and windy.
Once a spark breaks out, it will become a prairie fire, and Liang Shitai and others are at the center of the storm. As long as the fire breaks out, all the Yuan Army officers and soldiers who come to pursue Liang Shitai and others will be killed in the sea of fire!
How to defeat such a vicious scheme?
Liang Shitai and other generals pursued him non-stop. When they saw the thief entering the dense forest, they wanted to follow him and rush into the dense forest.
"Ding! Yuan Shu's skill 'Emperor's Fate' is activated to bless the luck of Liang Shitai and other generals during the Battle of Xuzhou."
"Wait!"
Just when the army was about to enter an ambush, Yang Zhi quickly raised his hand and ordered the entire army to stop. This puzzled Liang Shitai, so he probed to ask why!
"General Liang Shitai, have you forgotten how the two generals Liu Tang and Chao Gai died?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Shitai was stunned, his face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Looking at the bandits hiding in the dense forest, Liang Shitai had a complicated expression!
The deaths of Chao Gai and Liu Tang were both involved in fire attacks. Take a closer look at the environment here. There are large areas of withered yellow leaves and hay on the ground, and there is also a strong wind blowing towards you.
If a thief starts the fire, the flames will spread and you and others will not escape death!
