Xu Qian did not give Chen Ping a chance to argue. He swept away his past hypocrisy and decadence, held his head high, and announced loudly in front of everyone: "Chen Ping has repeatedly disobeyed military orders, both in disguise and in disguise. The importance of the enemy’s army can be described as a heinous crime!”
"However, considering that he led the Eagle Brigade and made great achievements, he can be exempted from the death penalty, but cannot be spared from the living crime. He will be temporarily demoted to the tooth general to pay for his crime and meritorious service!"
Speaking of this, Xu Qian was very proud: "Chen Ping, I think you have great military exploits, so I will spare you! If you behave well in the future, I will naturally say a few good words for you. If you dare to disobey again, I will The official will not spare you!"
Xu Qian was worried about the Eagle Brigade under Chen Ping and did not dare to do anything. Otherwise, he would have taken this opportunity to kill Chen Ping.
Chen Ping closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He had already expected this outcome. After all, not all the soldiers on the front line obeyed General Chen Si. Especially the failure of the attack on the Liang Kingdom's frontier army caused General Chen Si's prestige to plummet. In addition, Shangfeng, who is responsible for suppressing thieves, is an old friend of Xu Qian's mentor, so he will naturally help Xu Qian and run against Chen Ping.
Besides...
Ten days have passed since the Tianji Battalion guards were intercepted and returned to Qingyu Mountain. Let alone annihilating the enemy troops, they have not even seen the enemy troops. This cannot be explained anywhere.
Now, Chen Ping can only endure it.
…
At the same time, at the Sandie Pass in the northern border of Liang State, the Chinese army camped in Beidi.
There was a thick stack of military reports in front of Chen Si. Even Chen Si, who was known as the Beidi Army God, felt powerless and extremely busy at this time.
Since the army entered the country, the fighting has not stopped for a moment.
Especially in the past five or six days, the fighting was extremely intense. The number of casualties in these days alone reached more than 8,000!
The Beixi County soldiers and horses seemed to be crazy, constantly attacking the front line set up by Chen Si. The three powerful brigades of Eagle, Snow Wolf and Clouded Leopard, which were supposed to attack the Hussars and Chariots head-on, had to be transferred to On the eastern front, in order to cope with the attack from Beixi County, Beixi County was forced from the offensive to the defensive.
Without the support of the three powerful forces, the Western Front battlefield seemed a little weak when facing the Hussars General, and now they can only stand in a stalemate.
And the most important defense line of cavalry generals is even more indestructible for a long time!
Chen Si even took the risk and led a group of soldiers in disguise to personally approach the defense line of the reconnaissance cavalry general. The result was not only frightening but also terrifying.
The fortifications built outside Yongshou County made Chen Si's scalp tingle.
How long has it been since? The entire Yongshou County has been surrounded by a moat, with rows of Juma stakes and traps facing north.
Beyond the horse piles, there are countless potholes densely distributed.
These simplest holes can effectively disrupt the formation of cavalry and even infantry.
The most terrifying thing is that there is a row of wooden fences below the city gate building. The fence is only less than four feet high. There is an arrow stack every six feet above the fence for shooting.
Chen Si instantly understood Qin Feng's strategic intention, which was to prepare with two hands and attack from three directions, trying to hold back Chen Si's army as much as possible and at the same time strengthen the defense line of the cavalry generals.
If the attack fails, we will retreat to defend on three fronts, abandon large-scale operations, and adopt the tactics of breaking up the whole into pieces and actively guerrilla.
At this time, the cavalry general's defense line was already impregnable.
At that time, Chen Si's army will be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Chen Si can't take down any of the three parties: the frontier army, Chaqi, and Beixi County. Although the Hussar General's side is relatively easy to attack, as long as Chen Si attacks the Hussar General with all his strength, the situation at this moment will happen again.
no! The cavalry general's defense line must not be allowed to continue to be built!
Chen Si issued three orders in a row to launch a large-scale attack on the defense line of the cavalry generals. Each time, the army risked heavy losses to press forward. At the same time, they filled up the holes in the ground, smashed the traps, and blocked the horses. The piles were broken into pieces.
During this period, the soldiers behind the arrow wall would fire arrows at the army like crazy.
By the time the army arrived at the Arrow Stack Wall, the enemy troops had already retreated safely into the city under the cover of the wall. The most annoying thing was... before leaving, they would set fire to the Arrow Stack Wall. In this way, The army will immediately be exposed to the archers above the city wall.
The army attacked Yongshou County for three days, making more than a dozen large and small attacks.
However, every time they rushed to the bottom of the city wall, they were exhausted and unable to attack the fortress again. And every time they retreated, the civilians in the city would rush out to repair the defenses under the cover of the infantry. When the army rushed forward again, they There are a bunch of fortifications erected outside Yongshou County.
In the end, Chen Si had to temporarily give up attacking the cavalry general's defense line, and sent a large number of small groups of rangers to invade the grain-producing areas and transfuse blood for the army.
However, the operation to plunder the grain-producing areas did not go smoothly.
As early as the beginning of the war, Qin Feng had already predicted that the war would spread to the grain-producing areas, so he immediately organized soldiers and civilians to collect grain. Now, there is not much food left in the grain-producing areas close to the war zone.
In addition, the generals of chariots and cavalry left 10,000 troops and horses in the grain-producing areas. While the Beidi Rangers were looting food, they also had to face the pursuit and interception of chariots and cavalry horses. Although they robbed some food supplies, they wanted to maintain the stability of the entire army. Consumption is simply unrealistic!
They had failed to capture the important frontier town before, and the sequelae were gradually revealed.
There is an important frontier army stationed there, and it is extremely difficult to transport the urgently mobilized grain and grass in Beidi to the front line every time. It is unrealistic to send a large army to accompany them. If a small force is sent to protect them, they will be intercepted and killed by the border troops.
If the transport team gets too close to the eastern front, it will be attacked by Beixi County.
At present, Beidi's grain transport team can only transport grain and grass to the front line in small quantities and in as concealed a manner as possible. In this way, it will be even more impossible to make up for the consumption of the army.
Although Chen Si did not say it directly, he knew very well that half of his strategic arrangement had been lost.
The cavalry general's defense line cannot be attacked, and it is extremely difficult to support him with food and grass. The only chance for survival at the moment is to pin all his hopes on the field battle and destroy as much as possible the effective forces in the northern border of Liang Kingdom!
Just when Chen Si was worried, the news that Chen Ping was demoted to Yajiang reached his ears.
Chen Si felt throbbing pain in his temples, but he could only pretend to be calm and asked about the cause of the matter.
After learning about the series of events in Qingyu Mountain, Chen Si remained silent and thought about something secretly.
After a long time, Chen Si suddenly raised his head and asked the deputy general next to him: "Can you find out who the current general of Beixi County is?"
The lieutenant general didn't understand why Chen Si suddenly asked, and replied bluntly: "Of course it's Qin Feng."
Chen Si frowned and looked extremely serious: "Are you sure?"
The deputy general became even more confused: "This is natural."
