"Bang..." Bai Feng, the chief general of the Huaipu City defender, was suppressed in and was forced to suppress the soldiers of Yanzhou from both passes and kneeling on the ground.
Huaipu City was captured by Xu Qing, the troops of Yanzhou Army. None of the six thousand defenders escaped, all of them were killed or captured. The garrisons of Huaipu City were no exception.
"Okay, how can we treat General Bai Feng like this? Get rid of it quickly, please sit down!" Xu Qing sat in the main seat where Wei Gang and Bai Feng had sat in the past and said with a smile.
"Hmph..." After being let go, Bai Feng said angrily, "General Xu Qing, I really didn't expect that I would let you enter the city to rest, but I didn't expect that a group of hungry wolves would come in. We both belong to you and me.
Allied forces, is it reasonable for you to do this now? Could it be that the leader of your army has decided to go to war with our Xuzhou army?"
Xu Qing smiled and said indifferently: "Good intentions? General Bai Feng, are you really kind intentions? Besides, you invite me into the city, not because I came from afar, nor for what you said.
, I will go south with this general tomorrow?"
"Good intentions? Then why did you arrange two thousand troops around the general's military camp at the beginning? Why did you arrange spies around the general's military camp to monitor the general?"
Bai Feng opened his mouth, his face looked ugly, and then he said coldly: "Okay, even so, this is not the reason for your attack. General Xu, you must be responsible for your actions last night. The two armies went to war, so
Not something that a general can afford. What's more, the eastern and northern parts of Huaipu City are all in Xuzhou, and tens of thousands of troops can be summoned at any time. At that time, General Xu will be waiting to pay the price for the dead soldiers in Huaipu City.
.”
"Haha..." Xu Qing laughed loudly, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Baifeng, don't look too high on yourself. Now, you are a prisoner of my Yanzhou army, not your Huaipu City guardian
.In addition, I can tell you that I can bear any responsibility for the actions last night. Now, I can say without hesitation that from last night, Huaipu City and its surrounding five counties will all
It is the jurisdiction of our Yanzhou Army.”
"You... are you here to attack Huaipu City? Are you really going to start a war with my Xuzhou army at this time?" Bai Feng was shocked and said anxiously. Although Bai Feng knew that Li Chi was also trying to weaken the Yanzhou army,
But that was just about taking advantage of the Qi army, not directly conflict. But now the Yanzhou army is going to start a war against Xuzhou directly, which really made him stunned.
Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "Of course not! The actual situation is that Wei Gang, the lord of Huaipu City, learned that the Qi army in Quyang City was about to escape, so he led the main force of the defenders in Huaipu City to seize the city. The lord of Huaipu City had already been
The Qi army bribed it, and after the defenders left most of the city, they prepared to seize the city. At this time, our Yanzhou army arrived and was asked for help by Bai Feng, the deputy general of the defenders. Therefore, our Yanzhou army entered Huaipu City and annihilated the rebels.
”
"Nonsense! Don't want me to make a lie for you." Bai Feng's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling by Xu Qing's tone.
Xu Qing said lightly: "Is that true? If General Bai Feng is unwilling to use it for us, then the rebel general who was bribed by King Murong Cheng of Qi who betrayed Xuzhou and was annihilated, would be you Bai Feng. As for the surrendered soldiers in the city,
There are many people who surrender with you, and they will also become traitors of the Xuzhou Army with you."
"At that time, you will become rebels and be remembered. Your family will all become sinners. Baifeng, do you want these soldiers to die with you? Do you want your joining to die with you?
, It is meaningless to Li Chi if you die if you die here. Even if you die here, Li Chi will not praise you. That is, if this general lets you go now, the crime you bear can be explained
, but it is inevitable that you will lose the blame for Huaipu City.”
"By the way, I will tell you again that Quyang City is already from our Yanzhou army, and the eight thousand troops sent by your Huaipu City will probably be killed in the entire army and the Qi army. Therefore, in Huaiyin Prefecture,
The Xuzhou Army will be gradually annexed by the Qi army and will soon become the jurisdiction of our Yanzhou Army. Therefore, for your own sake and for your family, our Yanzhou Army is the most suitable place for your loyalty."
Suddenly, Bai Feng was stunned by Xu Qing's words. At this moment, he understood that the Qi army in Quyang City that the other party mentioned was probably the Yanzhou army. In other words, the Yanzhou army would pretend to be the Qi army and feel Wei Gang's troops.
"Did Huaiyin Prefecture be the target of the Yanzhou Army from the beginning? In addition to wanting Yuzhou, they even want to take a bite of my Xuzhou Army?" Bai Feng suddenly trembled all over and couldn't touch the Yanzhou Army's actions.
"Baifeng, I hope you will think clearly. Time is tight, so I will take over Huaipu City and surrounding counties. Therefore, I hope to get help from those who are familiar with Huaipu City. The opportunity is rare, so think about it yourself. Surrendering to us is equivalent to helping you.
The people of Huaipu City and surrounding counties were defeated. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people suffered because of this.” Xu Qing pressed step by step.
"Now your boss has gone and never returned. The situation in Huaiyin Prefecture is clear. Li Chi wants to cut off the Qi army's journey south, let the Qi army return to Yuzhou, and fight to the death with our Yanzhou army. But he leads the Xuzhou army with the army.
At this moment, it is attacking Yangzhou. Now the Qi army is fighting to the south. Huaiyin Prefecture first breaks Quyang City, and then Huaipu City. There are two of the three major cities in Huaiyin Prefecture in the hands of our Yanzhou Army. What is the situation? You should also
Clearly. You should understand how to choose, General Baifeng."
Baifeng surrendered, and more than 3,000 people were killed in battle among the defenders in the city, and the rest became prisoners of the Yanzhou army. In addition to some of them being dismissed, more than 2,000 of them were incorporated into the Yanzhou army.
Afterwards, Xu Qing asked Bai Feng to take over the surrounding counties and let the people of the surrounding counties understand that they are now subordinates of the Yanzhou Army. Of course, in these places, in addition to the replacement of civil and military officials, the local people were also happy.
The new Yanzhou military policy is here.
Just like the Yanzhou army implemented in Yuzhou, here, Xu Qing immediately arranged for someone to post a notice and implement the new policy. Of course, Xu Qing did not raise the flag of the Yanzhou army at this moment. It was just a reason that there were spies from the Qi army in various counties in the area.
Replace local officials. As for the new policy, there are naturally new officials who have implemented it.
This is also what Zhao Xun did to make the people of these places return. After all, even if Li Chi wants to get it back in the future, he must tolerate the new policy here. Otherwise, how could the people here continue to accept Li Chi?
Rule?
As for the sudden change in Huaipu City, Wei Gang, who had been marching for two days, was a hundred miles away from Huaipu City. At this moment, he was rushing to Quyang City with eight thousand soldiers, hoping to be in Yanzhou.
Before the army, take down Quyang City.
The spring breeze blows, the war horses neigh, and the army of more than 8,000 people stretched out and slowly marched towards the south. Although it was already spring, the morning still seemed a little cool, and the newborn sunshine was scattered on the earth.
Give the earth a warmth...
Yunfeng Canyon, with high mountains on both sides, is the most dangerous place on the official road leading to Quyang City from Huaipu City. Because the canyon extends for nearly a thousand meters, there are clouds and mists on the highest peaks on both sides, so this place is
It is called Yunfeng Canyon.
At this time, Wei Gang led his army and was heading from a distance, and the road ahead was here.
Suddenly, from a fast horse behind the army to the front, the knight immediately shouted: "Everyone moves quickly, you are about to reach Yunfeng Canyon. After you pass the canyon, you will rest.
Some people went to patrol the upper sides of the pipe to prevent someone from attacking, hurry up!" He said and roared away again.
Several soldiers named after that immediately spit out a sputum on the ground and cursed: "Damn it! Just a sneak attack. The Yunfeng Canyon is surrounded by Huaiyin Prefecture, and it is our territory.
Will the enemy come to attack? Is this group of war-free messengers and Ma Ke cavalry, but we have to walk here to see them show off their power, foxes pretend to be powerful, damn it!”
"Stop talking nonsense. If you have a life above, you have to obey. You are a military soldier. Do you not even understand these?" One of the veterans smiled helplessly. As an old soldier, he naturally understood that such an arrangement was beneficial to him.
of.
However, these soldiers were indeed a little dissatisfied. After all, they had to detour through another county and transport food in the middle. It can be said that they are stepping up the new army. Be careful within their own territory, how can they be able to do so?
What about dissatisfaction?
Wei Dong stood quietly on the edge of the cliff on the side of Yunfeng Canyon, and behind him were several commanders. Wei Dong held a thousand-mile eye in his hand and monitored the movements of the approaching Xuzhou army from afar.
"Slowed down, but it did not stop." Wei Dong spoke gently and handed the telescope in his hand to the guards beside him. There was a hint of joy in his words. The other commanders also secretly heard this.
A joy.
The reason why he was happy was that he had arranged 10,000 soldiers here, laying a fatal killing situation in the Yunfeng Canyon. Once the eight thousand Xuzhou troops entered the canyon, what was waiting for them would be a battle.
Devastating blow. A dangerous place, with more to less, strong to weak, and the situation is clear at a glance...
What made Wei Dong happy was that the other party just slowed down but did not stop. This shows that the other party did not care too much about this dangerous place, and the other party did not expect that he would set up a large army ambush within their jurisdiction. Then, he was
The arrangement here will be successful.
That's right, Wei Dong's 10,000 troops did not enter Quyang City, nor did they slowly think of Quyang City rushing to put pressure on Wei Gang. Instead, they had already sneaked to the scene as early as the first time the Yanzhou army informed Wei Gang.
Here, you know, in order to lurk here quietly, Wei Dong spent several nights. Of course, the soldiers under Wei Dong are now all dressed as Qi army. Qi army armor and flags seized from Yuzhou
, finally got a place to use it...
When Wei Dong thought of solving the enemies below, he could completely solve the Xuzhou army in Huaiyin Prefecture, he couldn't help but feel excited. The Huaiyin Prefecture, which was mainly defending against Yuzhou, was finally cut off from Xuzhou in his own hands.
I think Li Chi will be very angry when he heard this! Wei Dong couldn't help but think.
The murderous aura continued to spread, as if it was spreading the entire world. The wind was blowing slowly, blowing the bushes in the canyon, causing a rustling sound. The shadows of the trees seemed to be swaying, and there seemed to be murderous intent hidden secretly.
The eyes hidden behind the bushes showed a vicious look, and then disappeared without a trace.
Several sentries exploring the way came from a distance. They were marching for two days and seemed a little tired and impatient. At this time, they were bored and waving the sword in their hands, slashing on the small tree blocking the way, complaining about the wind
The one who sent it to the ambusher's ears was a more terrifying murderous intent.
"Captain, why don't we take a break here now. It's surrounded by my Xuzhou army. Where did the enemies come from? There are not even bandits around. Besides, we have eight thousand soldiers here, even bandits, and they are also bandits.
Don't dare to launch a sneak attack on us. Why not... Everyone rest here for a while, and then go out to report it casually." A lazy soldier suggested a little lazy, and said, sitting on the ground.
"Okay, okay!" This proposal quickly received the support of most people. More than a dozen soldiers quickly sat down, and the rest also sat down.
The team leader's team leader was also unable to get excited. Seeing that his subordinates had sat down, he waved helplessly and said, "Okay, you guys sit here first, I'll go there and take a look.
.”As an old soldier and officer, he was still somewhat dedicated. He walked carefully in the heart of the canyon, patrolling around, and holding a police whistle in his mouth. Once an enemy is nearby, the police whistle will be there
Make a sharp call as soon as possible to remind yourself to pay attention to the ambush.
The morning of early spring is still a little cold, but as time goes by, the warm sunshine gradually becomes warm, and it feels particularly comfortable when shining on your body. The team leader's heart gradually relaxes with the search along the way.
Seeing that there was no one around, I took my subordinates and sat on the ground lazily and chatted. The team leader finally lost his energy and was no longer willing to go to the bushes alone to investigate. Then he turned around and left,
Join your lazy subordinates and prepare to return.
"Let's go, everything is safe, go back!" said the team leader with a smile.
"Captain Weiming, there are no enemies here, they shouldn't have come."
Yunfeng Canyon is a long and narrow canyon that is kilometer long. The roads here are winding and the terrain is dangerous. They are surrounded by steep mountain walls, which are conducive to ambushing but not to resist. If the army wants to pass such terrain, they must be more careful and be prepared.
Raid, otherwise, if you are careless, you may be wiped out.
In normal marching, in addition to sending a large number of sentries to explore the terrain and find out whether there are ambushes, the most important thing is to send vanguard troops to pass through the valley entrance first. Guard the pass of the important roads and passes. There must be special soldiers at the entrance entrance and exit entrance.
Be responsible for keeping in mind so that the army can be allowed to pass.
During the march and war, the vanguard army and the horse probing team can be said to be the most responsible team among the entire army. The so-called clearing of roads across mountains and building bridges across water refers to this kind of situation in Jedi, providing the army with as much as possible.
Survival security that can be provided.
In the wars of the cold weapon era, mountains, waters, and cities. These geographical features are usually the most commonly used ambush tricks in wars. When encountering towering mountains, be careful that your opponent hides in it. Explore attacks from a high place, and be careful when crossing the river.
The opponent attacks halfway through. When encountering a dangerous place like Yunfeng Canyon, you have to be more careful and be more careful.
When the vanguard sentry advances, they must not only open up the march route for the main force, but also occupy commanding heights that can be viewed at a certain range on both sides of the road, search for areas where possible ambushing such as dense forests and peaks, and find potentially lurking enemy troops or sweep them.
Qing small groups of harassed troops. Once they encounter enemies, they must notify the rear as soon as possible, and at the same time start fighting with the enemy immediately.
In general wars, the first thing to fight is the provocation of both sides, followed by the outpost troops and the forward battalion. Once the outpost of a certain side is strong, after defeating the opponent's forward team, you can even take counter-ambush and counter-charge after defeating the opponent's forward team.
, and other practices of storming enemy formations, will give the rear army a chance to win the attack.
This task that integrates contact and exploration of the enemy, prevents surprise attacks, fights head-on with the enemy, and transmits messages, can be said to be extremely difficult and challenging, requiring high tactical literacy and fearless fighting spirit, not for many years
Veterans and experienced commanders in the battle are absolutely difficult to be competent.
Therefore, all the vanguard battalions responsible for searching and alerting tasks are not only mostly responsible for the cavalry, but also have to be elite veterans in the team. They are not only experienced, but also not an exaggeration to be the best soldiers in the army.
It is a comprehensive extension of sentry and a synonym for elite groups of groups. Relatively speaking, the vanguard battalion in an army is all elite, which is equivalent to a modern reconnaissance company.
But because of this, the Explosive Horse and the Forward Battalion are the most tiring teams. Therefore, in this area where the new and old Explosive Horses, who are more new and old, are marching for two days and inspecting for two days, which makes them feel a little uncomfortable.
I'm patient. After all, this is my own territory.
Therefore, although Wei Gang of the Central Army knew that the Yunfeng Canyon was located in his own jurisdiction, he had not received any unexpected military information recently. However, he still sent a command to the Forward Battalion to prepare for investigation. The Forward Battalion Captain was also
Let the messenger send the horse probing command to the forward, and let them inquire about the situation.
Several teams of horse exploration teams reported the results of the investigation to the officers of the forward camp. However, here, these horse exploration teams found nothing.
However, the Xuzhou army did not directly enter. Instead, a vanguard battalion of 1,000 people led the way into the valley, and passed through the canyon to the exit of the valley, where they checked the situation outside the valley, and set up a defensive formation to wait for the rear
The army entered the valley.
"Yes, these 8,000 Xuzhou troops are not defeated by most of them, old soldiers stationed in Huaipu City. No wonder they were able to resist the Qi army in Yuzhou many times and failed to attack and attack Xuzhou from Yuzhou." On the ridge of the mountain
, Looking at the Xuzhou army's march, Wei Dong couldn't help but sigh.
"So what about the old soldier? One negligence can lead to a general collapse. This time, this veteran fell into the hands of the general." The commander of the commander put down his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, there should be no carelessness in the march. We must remember the lessons of the Xuzhou army." Wei Dong said lightly.
