The Tang army withdrew. After a day of attack, it was a little short of it, but because of the arrival of reinforcements from the palace, they had no choice but to withdraw back to the camp.
"Wei Dong, the left commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, have met General Ye and all the lords!"
"We are polite, please sit down! If you didn't come to help in time, I'm afraid this city has been lost, and nearly 100,000 people in the city will suffer!" Zhang Ting, the captain of Boping, grinned.
But he accidentally pulled the wound on his arm, and he took a breath in pain.
After Wei Dong sat down, he smiled and said, "I dare not take credit for the sake of the flag. I can arrive in time and divide my troops out. I hid in the morning and walked at night. I was only discovered when I was close. I was also General Li Feng, the general of the Fengshanyang Prefecture Army.
military order.”
"Oh? General Li? General Li is back to Shanyang Mansion now?"
"No, General Li led his troops to capture the important land of Siyang City, behind the Tang army, and looted all the Tang army transported from Linyi, supplying more than 10,000 troops of food, grass, supplies and weapons. Now, I'm afraid I'm still taking the Tang army east.
Running west. Perhaps it is because of this that the Tang army is trying hard to attack Boping, hoping to lay the groundwork for another attack in the future." Wei Dong said in a deep voice, with deep concerns at the corner of his eyes.
"Ah? It's true? General Li... It's really powerful. In the face of his rebellion, the situation will change drastically, let the Tang army retreat, and let Boping rest." Zhang Ting was stunned, and then he understood the consequences of this incident.
And the benefits.
"By the way, our army is still listed outside the city. Please mobilize the young and strong people in the city to go out of the city to collect the weapons, armor and equipment, arrows and crossbows outside the city. Our army came here quickly and did not carry more
Military supplies. Although the Tang army could not continue to attack the city after our army had tens of thousands of reinforcements, we must guard against it." Wei Dong explained again.
"Don't worry, Wei Duwei, this matter will be left to the young and strong in the city." County Magistrate Sun Yu quickly interrogated. Now, protecting Boping is more important than anything else.
Tang army camp, commander's tent.
Since Meng Zhao fainted on the battlefield, several commanders hurriedly withdrew their troops back to the camp, and then increased their defenses to prevent the enemy from attacking at night. Of course, they still don't know that the Shanyang Prefecture Army opposite was also a good person.
Exhausted, in order to arrive in time, the army ran desperately after nightfall, and more than 200 people were injured and hundreds of people fell behind.
Meng Zhao suddenly woke up from his coma, looked up in shock, and found that there were figures in front of him. After shaking his head and letting himself wake up a little, he realized that this was the military commander's tent. When he thought about the previous battle, he suddenly felt like he was
Felling into the ice cave, almost frozen. After taking a deep breath, Meng Zhao roared in a hoarse voice: "Did the army retreat all? Will the enemy pursue it?"
Chen Chang replied in a low voice: "Return to the general, the army has returned to the camp smoothly, and the enemy has not pursued it. I think they are also coming because of the speed and are not ready for a strong attack."
"However, when the containment soldiers we sent were restraining their bodies, they found that the armor and weapons on the soldiers were taken away by the Shanyang Prefecture Army. The arrows scattered on the battlefield and the crossbows were also taken against each other.
Walk."
"Damn it! It's a slight difference, just a little bit! I'm about to get Boping, and there should be food in the city, but the enemy reinforcements are coming again. Is it really God doesn't bless our army?" Meng Zhao was so sad and angry that he
Words.
"What's the loss?" Meng Zhao stared at Chen Chang and asked in a deep voice. One day of bloody battles, there is no time to summarize the damage, and only after the end will it be unified verification.
Chen Chang couldn't help but sigh and said in a deep voice: "A bloody battle in one day, more than 3,000 regular soldiers were killed in battle, and countless injured people, of which more than 1,500 people were unable to return to the battlefield. Eight thousand
The new army was intact, with less than a thousand people, and the rest were all killed. The weapons and civilians in the military camp were also lost when they were siegeing the city. The weapons and arrows were scarce, and they had reached a point where they were not available.
Come on, there were about four or five thousand enemy troops killed in the city.”
After hearing this, Meng Zhao's eyes went dark. As he expected, the loss would be quite large in one day. However, he did not expect it to be so big. As the right general, he commanded a unit of the right army, and he had two totals.
Ten thousand people. The loss was not counted when the Liangzhou Prefecture was captured, so there were naturally new recruits. In order to stabilize the place, they also left behind 5,000 soldiers to assist the numbers sent by the general to form a garrison army. It can be said that the attack on Boping
At the beginning, he had 15,000 Tang army soldiers in his hands. However, after fighting with Ye Xuan outside the city and losing one after another, he had only 10,000 Tang army soldiers in his hands.
In addition, there were 10,000 New Army and civilians who assisted the army. But at this moment, more than half of the army had lost, and the entire army had basically been killed. The losses were so great that it was beyond imagination that it had reached a point that it was unacceptable to him.
Chen Chang looked at Meng Zhao's face with a gloomy face, and his already pale face was even more bloodless at this moment, so he had to say in a deep voice: "General, now is not a sad time. We will avenge the dead brothers in the future.
But now, how we deal with it still needs to resolve the matters.”
"Articles? The charter is nothing. What are you doing now? What are you talking about? Now I will treat the soldiers immediately and place dinner. This time, let them eat openly and let them eat all the food they have reserved.
.Immediately, someone sent an order to Siyang City, we want to withdraw and let them prepare the food and grass needed by our army." Meng Zhao coughed a few times and said angrily.
Seeing General Right say this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. General Right says this, so he is naturally ready to leave.
"Yuan Li! Why did our army find out the news today when we explored horses? Why did the enemy reinforcements approach our army and we discovered it?" Meng Zhao said gloomyly, the murderous aura in his eyes made the three commanders feel chilled.
Yuan Li said in a deep voice: "General, it is you who sent an order at noon today to ask the explorer to withdraw as a preparation for the cavalry to rush to the door."
Meng Zhao was stunned, his face turned white and red, and he almost couldn't spit out another mouthful of blood. He thought that this was indeed his mistake. Because he didn't find any useful information in the morning. In addition, he made a desperate bet this time, so he kept it.
He was exploring the horse and inquire, but he couldn't find out anything. In order to increase his chances of winning when he broke through the city gate, Meng Zhao, who was already crazy at that time, took back the horse-study cavalry, regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates, and was the most cavalryman.
use.
The result is obvious that this was ultimately unavailable by his cavalry as a surprise soldier. Instead, because of the contraction of the cavalry, the enemy reinforcements approached and were discovered by himself. The result was that he killed for a long time in vain and did not say that the soldiers were damaged.
, haven't gotten any, slight benefits yet.
If I had learned of the support of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, how could I have easily wasted a day of hard work on this city? It was because I had broken the city before, and with the things in my hands, it was not enough to defend the city. Maybe the remaining numbers in the city remained in the city.
Thousands of defenders will fight to the death. In addition, when reinforcements arrive, they will be made into dumplings and they will all be trapped here.
Although he always looked down on the defenders, the total number of troops in the city and outside the city was 30,000. Ye Xuan's troops outside the city were first killed by himself, and then the remaining troops were then killed by the Li surnamed.
He was convinced that the Tang army would pacify the city. However, with reinforcements, it was obvious that with reinforcements, it was obvious that the Tang army soldiers would pacify the city.
It is impossible. So, if the enemy reinforcements had been discovered earlier, he might have evacuated the battlefield earlier, and so many people would not have been killed.
When Meng Zhao thought of this, he was so angry that he was itchy. After all, the biggest responsibility lies with him, which made him extremely angry.
"I won't investigate today, but our army's provocation extends south for more than fifty miles, why no one notices it? Nearly ten thousand troops set out from Shanyang Prefecture, why did our spies not get rewarded? The only army of Shanyang Prefecture will put ours
The plan was destroyed, and it was still siegeing cities and robbing food and supplies in the rear of our army. Haha... What a Shanyang Prefecture Army! The weakest link originally gave us a fatal blow." Meng Zhao roared with a strange expression.
A strange sound suddenly sounded under his throat, and his face turned red. He spewed blood mist out to the sky, shouting: "I'm so angry!" Then he fainted on the bed.
"General..."
"Military doctor...get in here quickly!"
"Two brothers, I refuse to faint now. How can we deal with it? There are more than 10,000 troops in the opposite city, but we only have less than 5,000 people here, and most of them are injured." Chen Chang asked worriedly.
Xu Feng said: "Now, our army has insufficient food, grass and armor and equipment, and it is difficult to fight against the enemy. I think it is better to retreat to Siyang City to make plans."
Yuan Li nodded and said, "I agree. Besides, the general intends to withdraw his troops. We cannot delay here anymore. After all, the enemy is powerful and our army has no morale."
"Okay, send the orders. The situation in the camp will remain unchanged. All departments will gather and evacuate carefully!" After the unified opinion, the three of them ordered.
…………
"What? Why is this? General, this..." In the Suicheng County Yamen Hall, Guan Lin and the other three were shocked after hearing what Zhao Xun said, with horror on their faces.
Thinking about it, no one can believe that his highest-ranking chief would regard his more than 30,000 troops as abandoned sons, and use the two palaces as bargaining chips for trading.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I know you don't believe it. Qin Xiao should know a little. In addition, your general Ye Xuan also knows it. Otherwise, he would not have handed over the army directly to me after I entered the city.
Commander. Because, together with Lord Feng, you general brought down Hu Zhi from the position of commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army. I believe you also know that you have left the military camp for five or six days in half a month."
Guan Lin nodded and said, "That's true!"
"Now, there are two roads in front of you. Because we are very likely to face the attacks of the governor of Yanzhou Xu Jie and the Tang army at the same time. Of course, Xu Jie's side should be less likely, especially after our army blocks the Tang army.
Wouldn't you take action against us for no reason? Another way is that after we leave here, you will move to a place outside Shanyang Prefecture, and perhaps you will be reused from Xu Jie. After all, Xu Jie is also doing it now
The soldiers under his command, but no matter what, now everyone is still the same robes for eating in the spoon." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"Damn it, Xu Jie, this bastard! General, I am from Shanyang Mansion. I never thought of betraying Shanyang Mansion, nor did I think of using tens of thousands of brothers as abandoned children. I decided, I will do it with you.
From today on, we are all Shanyang Prefecture Army, not Shanyang Prefecture Army." Guan Lin said suddenly.
Afterwards, Li Guochang and Lu Yu also pondered for a moment, saying that they were the same as Guan Lin.
"Okay, brothers, what's the problem for us?"
…………
Luolinpo, Wumeng Camp.
In the tent of the commander, there were bright lights, and Wumeng seats were on the main seat, with dozens of officers of all sizes side by side. These were reinforcements transferred from nearby garrisons, totaling more than 5,000. Although they were
The number of enemy troops is equivalent, but Wu Meng is very confident. He believes that as long as he fights head-on or catches the opponent's traces, he will definitely win in the end.
First, he had confidence in his Tang army soldiers. Second, this was the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tang army. Even if there was a little unstable place, it was generally calm. Only then could he be able to replenish the source of troops and supplies here.
But the other party cannot do it. If he finds out, he will definitely want this Yanzhou Prefecture Army that he hates to the core and will not die well.
However, the problem arises here. Now he has military commands and orders are issued everywhere. But he just can't find the other party's traces. He searches according to the other party's movements, but he found nothing.
Not long after sitting down, Wu Meng started fighting again, paced back and forth in the coach's tent, with anxiety on his face. More than ten generals sat there dullly, without any abnormal movements. Because Siyang City
Wu Meng is now extremely irritable. This morning, because the school captain was not good at searching for the enemy's traces, Wu Meng was beheaded in front of everyone and showed the public.
Even the small town that reported to Wu Meng and was besieged by more than a thousand enemy troops was beheaded.
Speaking of which, it was really unfair to die in the small town. They were indeed besieged by more than a thousand enemy troops. Unfortunately, they encountered bandits, and several bandits were united. Of course, they were also close to Zhao Xun's command.
Wei is related. But it has nothing to do with Zhao Xun's army. As a result, Wu Meng was attracted here, and the soldiers from all over the country were gathered here. Okay, I found out that they were not the one they were looking for, but the one they were looking for.
, but there was no trace of it. In anger, Wu Meng executed the other party on the charge of lying about military affairs. This situation made the soldiers and garrison officers present jumped in their hearts.
The generals and schools were also incredible when the loss of Siyang City, the robbery of food and supplies, and the robbery of weapons and equipment. But seeing how the Duwei took action, they knew that this group of people who had broken through Siyang City, looted food and supplies, and the robbery of weapons and equipment.
The Yanzhou Prefecture Army is not simple.
At this time, footsteps outside the tent sounded again. Wu Meng, who was walking back and forth, quickly looked at the door of the tent, and even the officers on both sides looked sideways.
In an instant, an officer panting, tired and sweaty on his forehead walked in.
Wu Meng approached him eagerly and asked, "Can the enemy's traces be found?"
The officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head and said, "Report to Master Duwei, our fast horses have searched the surrounding area of fifty miles, but there is no trace of the enemy! And the people in the towns and towns have not found any signs of a large army passing through."
Wu Meng said in a lost voice: "No? How is it possible? Is it really not in this direction? Or, they have retreated to the south? It's impossible. On that day, I went from south to north to Siyang City, and then blocked Si.
How could five thousand enemy troops quietly move south from Siyang City around Yangcheng?"
…………
Boping City.
"General Ye!"
"It turns out to be Captain Zhang. It's so late. I don't know what to discuss with me?" Wei Dong just told him about the past and after Wan Zhaoxun (Li Feng)'s actions in the rear of the enemy, and he couldn't help but make this Li Feng's
The bold and powerful Ye Xuan arrived and was about to rest, so his subordinates reported that someone asked for a visit.
"General Ye, please forgive me for being frank! Are you really the chief general of the Shanyang Prefecture Army?" Zhang Ting was not the Shanyang Prefecture Army, but the remnant of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army, so he did not fall under the jurisdiction of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's face turned cold, his brows frowned, and he said coldly: "What does Master Zhang mean? Do you doubt me? If this general had not supported 30,000 people twice, could Boping City be kept? Can you save your life?
”
Zhang Ting hurriedly said: "General Ye misunderstood what I mean. What I mean is, how many people are there in the Shanyang Prefecture Army now? What is the organization?"
"What does Captain Zhang say but it doesn't matter if he says it, there is no need to cover it up like this!" Ye Xuan understood what the other party meant when he heard it.
Zhang Ting said: "It's not that I'm interested in dealing with the general, but that I don't seem to buy General Ye's account very much, but do I admire Li Feng?"
Ye Xuan's face turned right and said, "What do you mean?"
"General Ye, what about me, I am the remnant of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army. I am afraid that I have no ownership now. Boping City is here, so I cannot move to other places. And General Ye is also proud of his previous defeat outside the city.
On the contrary, Li Feng became famous with the general's command. Even the commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army seemed to be dominated by Li Feng. If this continues, General Ye will probably be undermined.
.”
Zhang Ting continued: "If General Ye does not dislike him, he is willing to serve the general and serve the general, and only hopes that the general can support him."
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "So...I think about it! Having said that, my troops are now exhausted. Even the 15,000 troops I had previously supported you still belong to the Shanyang Prefecture Army.
There are only about 3,000 people, and it is difficult to compete with the commander who came to support this time."
Zhang Ting said gloomyly: "General, there are more than 3,000 troops from Shanyang Prefecture that obey your military orders. In addition, there are about 5,000 remaining troops from Liangzhou Prefecture, and the combined army is 8,000.
Although we were defeated, we were not afraid. Of course, our subordinates had another idea." Before Ye Xuan could agree, Zhang Ting began to call himself a subordinate.
"Oh? What's the idea? Let's talk about it!" Ye Xuan sneered in his heart, but said with some interest on his lips.
"Leave this Li Feng within the jurisdiction of the Tang army!" Zhang Ting said coldly.
"Ah? This... isn't good!" Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Zhang Ting would be so vicious. The other party saved him, but he wanted to kill him.
"General, you must not miss the opportunity! Now, if you don't have the power in your hands, what else can you do?" Zhang Ting saw Ye Xuan pondering and thinking that the other party was moved, so he kept saying.
Hum... I don't believe it anymore. You are not moved by power at all. Damn, I worked hard to guard Boping City and was still a lieutenant. You were all promoted one by one. What did I end up in the end? I didn't join the Tang army in the first place
Otherwise, I wouldn't know where I was buried by the Tang army as cannon fodder. When I gather the army here, I will take control of the real power. At that time, who dares to make my face look in front of me?
"I'll think about this matter and give a reply after thinking about it. Do not let this matter be spread, especially what you said in the end. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being rude." Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
"I understand that the general should rest early and will fight against the Tang army on the opposite side tomorrow. At that time, the general will agree and be proud." Zhang Ting said with a smile and turned away.
"If Xu Jie hadn't betrayed the Shanyang Mansion; if I hadn't seen Li Feng's ability with my own eyes; if it weren't for what Li Feng did now, we could not compare with him; if he hadn't saved this time
We, General, may agree with you." Looking at the closed door, Ye Xuan said to himself. Then he blew out the candlelight in the room and fell asleep peacefully.
"No abnormal movement! It seems that you are moved! That's right, no one doesn't love power!" In the dark, Zhang Ting, who should have left, looked at the house where the candlelight was extinguished and sneered in his heart.
