Chapter 218: Fenzhou takes over the army, and Hedong becomes a hero. Plot!
"Report to Lord Yang, Sa Lihe marched to Jiexiu, sixty miles away from Fenzhou, stopped and did not send out, and the camp was several miles away, and the cavalry was four times out!"
Before February 11, several scouts returned to the camp and reported to Yang Zaixing and others. Yue Lei and Gao Lin all asked for battle, hoping to take advantage of the fact that Saixing had marched for hundreds of miles to launch a large attack to capture and kill the Great Liao in Hedong. Yang Zaixing was not happy and said sadly in the tent: "Saixing was a reckless person. In the early years, the Jin thieves and cavalry were invincible. This gang relied on him to pacify Hedong, and no one could resist. Therefore, he never
After a defeat, no one dared to say that the general of the Jin army would win in front of Brother Yue that day, but the other Song people were not in the eyes of the thief. A certain family also thought that this thief would inevitably march into the city of Fenzhou, and then attacked the city with all their might. Unexpectedly, the thief actually learned to be cautious after being defeated by Taihang. Brother Gao, nephew, and the two of them were involved in detail. Saliyu was delayed for a long time in Pingyang Mansion, and now he stopped his troops in Jiexiu. What was his idea?"
Gao Linsizhi was not sure and hesitated: "Sa Lihe should have known that there were only a few thousand Fenzhou garrisons, but the main force of the Yue family army was chasing behind him. Why did he refuse to seize Fenzhou first as a place to live, and instead stay here? Could it be that his intention was not in Fenzhou, but was waiting to fight with the main force of our army?"
Yue Lei disagreed: "Uncle Gao's words are inappropriate. If Sali was willing to fight with our army, why didn't he come to save Wudai when he was Taihang that day? Now both sides have similar forces, but they dare to come to stroke the tiger's beard? Are they not afraid of Uncle Yang's iron spear?"
After hearing this, Yang Zaixing pondered and said, "It is possible that Sali Yu is waiting for the army to come and fight. After all, Taihang's defeat is mostly due to the loss of the geographical advantage. Pingyang fights, and abandons the Yue family army in the past. Who is Sali Yu afraid of? This time, a large army is coming, and only attacks the Yue family army along the way. Sali Yu probably only knows that his nephew leads the army, so where should he guard against a certain family? Humph, before the thief chiefs in Shangjing have arrived, he will be unable to fight with a certain family for a while.
It's bad, a family is not convenient to fight in this battle. It's okay if the nephew is a little older. After Sali Yukong waited, he refused to attack Fenzhou, and the Yue family's army would not fight with him. It depends on who can wait! If the order is sent, there are more teams of fast cavalry to rob the Jin thieves' baggage everywhere, and no grain or grass is allowed to be sent to Sali's army. In addition, attack several prefectures and counties. Any thieves who report the fast cavalry must not be stopped, and he will go!"
Yue Lei and Gao Lin received the order to issue the tent and arranged personnel. At this time, the main force of the Yue family army had approached the territory of Fenzhou, and Li Saliyu's army was only sixty or seventy miles away. At present, the main force of the cavalry could kill to the Jin camp in one day, but both stopped and waited for the other party to move.
After nightfall, Yang Zaixing analyzed the military newspapers he received, but on the other hand, he took into account the long-term situation and arranged paper and pen.
Seven days later, Duke of Xiping of Daxia Ren Dejing received a secret letter from Yang Zaixing, who was delivered by a fast cavalry of 300 miles. The general meaning was: "The chief of the Hedong thief, Saliyu, repeatedly robbed and killed the Shang Dynasty of Song Xia. The former defeated the Song Dynasty and slaughtered hundreds of cities, which was the point of ten thousand men. Relying on his bravery and strength, Xia all caused disasters in Song and Xia for a long time. I was ordered to control Fenzhou Prefecture, and it was difficult for several years to do anything to this thief, so I managed the troops in Ze and Luzhou to wait for the change of time. In the past few months, this thief has bullied our Zezhou Prefecture, called suppressing the thief, but actually attacked the county of Xiazhou. This is really unforgivable! I didn't comply with myself, and raised thousands of brave men under the tent, and wanted to kill this thief in Hedong. If there was any place that hindered Duke Xiping, I only hope that Hai Han would strictly guard the Xia territory to avoid being disturbed by the defeated thief!"
Ren Dejing was shocked and afraid. The last year, the Xia people were in chaos in the territory of Xia, and Jincheng was sent continuously, so they used it to pacify the Xia territory and had a high evaluation of Yang Zaixing's troops. At present, Saliyu was in charge of tens of thousands of troops in Hedong. Yang Zaixing actually dared to use the power of the two states to kill Saliyu in one fell swoop. It can be seen that his strength was still above his own estimate. If the Xia people had no idea about Hedong, it would be a fool to the people of the world. However, the great power of the Great Jin Dynasty made the Xia people share Hexi, and after Saliyu had long lost the ability to covet Hedong. Saliyu was based on his troops and horses, and he also showed his power to the Xia Kingdom on weekdays, let alone when the chaos in Xia Kingdom was about to be overwhelmed? But Yang Zaixing had this ability and dared to directly announce that he wanted to take Saliyu's head!
Sali drinks, who will Hedong be in the hands of?
Ren Dejing shook his head and quickly drove out this terrible idea from his mind. If Yang Zaixing could easily eliminate Sali, the most terrifying thing on the ground in the river was no longer the Great Jin Kingdom. Once Sali died, no one in the Jin army in Hedong could fight against Yang Zaixing, and dozens of cities would be included in Yang Zaixing's hands. At that time, the Great Jin Kingdom would inevitably raise a large army to retaliate, and perhaps the Xia Kingdom would send troops. This matter is of great importance, and we must report it to the king!
Just as the order was given, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I stopped the order that was about to be issued, and quickly summoned Ren Zhicai.
"What are the instructions of Lord?" Ren Zhicai had sores in his mansion for the past six months. He heard that Duke Xiping was summoned urgently and ran over happily.
"Take a group of people to the border of Yan'an Prefecture, and guard the border with people. Do not let anyone go in and out. There will be chaos in Hedong in the near future. We must prevent the incoming and outgoing of the Song and Jin countries. In addition, when Hedong is pacified, we will go to Fenzhou in person and bring a letter to a certain family, with some gold and silver, and think that a certain family's etiquette." Ren Dejing simply avoided the king Li Renxiao and planned to deal with the matter himself. As for the other civil and military officials in the Daxia Kingdom, it is not too late to inform him after the Hedong chaos. Yang Zaixing did not inform the Xia Kingdom at this time, but wrote to him directly, which was considered to be a determination of his own strength in the Daxia Kingdom. If Li Xiaoren was told, it would be a problem.
Ren Zhicai was very puzzled and hesitated: "Sir, we have no friendship with Salihe, why should we be so polite with him?"
Ren Dejing smiled bitterly and said, "Who do you think the land in Hedong is now? Sali Yu is sad to pass this barrier. Once you enter Yan'an Prefecture in the future, you will know who you should be etiquette!"
When he said this, Ren Dejing looked at Hedong from afar and felt very moved, as if he had seen a big drama being staged.
As expected, at this time, there were already murderous sounds under Fenzhou City, and Fenzhou City was surrounded by a group of 40,000 Jin troops.
Although Sali's plan was not determined to fight with the Yue family army that followed, it was not far away. Wudai's destruction was originally expected by Sali's expectations, but what shocked him was that the Yue family army was no longer a group of thieves on the Taihang Mountains, but a regular army with strong troops! Dozens of scouts sent to Pingyang Mansion in the front and back, and the news they received was almost the same. It was said that a large group of Yue family army followed, but they did not explore in detail. Some said 10,000, some said 30,000, and some said 50,000, but more than half of them were iron armored cavalry!
"Thirty thousand iron cavalry?" Sali was drunk and laughed.
It is understandable that the Yue family army is like many iron tools, but it is impossible to have so many good horses! It seems that the scouts sent out many times were intimidated by the Yue family army's appearance, and even the number of troops could not be found out.
Although Sa Lihe no longer underestimated the Yue family army in Taihang, especially the young general who looked very similar to Yue Fei, he must be the last one after Yue Fei, but in the time when Taihang was in Taihang, the Yue family army relied on the advantage of the land and the weather. Regarding the attack and defense of the city or the cavalry, he was afraid that Sa Lihe had not really been afraid of who he had come! Unless Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing arrived together, Sa Lihe still had confidence in his own brigade of cavalry.
The reason why the army was not sent to the army was not sent to Zhuma Jiexiu and Sa Li was not just to wait for Yue Lei.
"Master General, there are only thousands of bandits in Fenzhou City, how can they not take them back and wait for the bandits to attack? At that time, they can advance or retreat, how can they be inconvenient, but they can wait here?" The fierce army under the tent was puzzled and asked in the tent.
"Hmph! The bandits in Taihang have occupied the mountain villages as bandits. They usually have high mountains and deep waters, and the army is in a difficult situation. Now, not only are there tens of thousands of bandits chasing them to die, but thousands of bandits are trapped in the lonely city. Isn't it beautiful? Hahaha--" Sali laughed and laughed.
After two days, the situation became worse and worse. The tens of thousands of Yue family troops followed behind stopped advancing, but remained still and plundered prefectures and counties everywhere. In addition, no truckload of food and grass came. The army spent food and grass to lose money. After waiting for a long time, they could not even raise it on their own ground.
Sali waited for six or seven days, but finally couldn't wait any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a thief! Since he refused to come and die, he would meet him at the city of Fenzhou!"
In Saliyu's opinion, Yue's army has lived in Taihang for a long time and has finally obtained a place in Fenzhou, Hedong, and how could it give up easily? As long as Fenzhou is surrounded by Fenzhou tightly, there is no need to worry about the thieves from Taihang who will not come to help.
On February 18, Saliyu's army advanced to the city of Fenzhou.
Fenzhou City is composed of a main city and four outer cities. The four outer cities can be regarded as independent cities and are all at a certain distance from the main city.
Niu Gao had ordered more than ten days ago to concentrate the troops in Fenzhou City, and the soldiers and civilians in the four outer cities in the east, west, south and north to be withdrawn to Quanzhang, and not to leave a grain of food or grass for scattering.
Saliyu led his army to Japan, and then occupied four outer cities and surrounded the four cities with a junction with a camp.
"How can these bandits know what kind of military use methods?" Sali led his men to the main city of Fenzhou, pointing to the "Yue" flag on the wall of Fenzhou, and said to the generals: "If the bandits occupy four cities and guard them, a family still doesn't know how the army can marshal it, so they can surround five cities. Before the army arrives, they actually give up the outer city by themselves. It depends on how long this group of thieves can defend this lonely city!"
The next day, there were killing sounds everywhere in the Jin camp, and siege equipment was assembled everywhere. On the top of the city, Niu Gao opened his eyes wide and smiled: "I'm afraid Brother Yang is not sure. Now, let's see how you, a group of thieves, can escape from the old Niu's palm!"
At noon, several arrow towers were already set up outside the city. The Jin army shouted in unison and pushed the arrow tower to the vicinity of the Fenzhou city wall. The arrows leaked into the city like locusts. On the top of the city, Yue's army raised their shields to defend, and the ding dong sounded like dense rain on the shield surface.
After nightfall, the Jin army temporarily rested and went down for half a day, but after all, it did not enter the actual siege stage.
"My boys, let the dog thieves taste our arrows too!" Lao Niu drank half a bottle of Jincheng Laojiao and shouted in a humble manner.
Chapter completed!
