Jinzhong, Dagu County
"Kill! Kill all the rebellious Fengwu Army!"
"Long live the Great Zhou! Long live the Chief Assistant! Brothers, come after me!"
"A warrior has one tael of silver for the first time. Now is the opportunity for brothers to earn reward money!"
···············
···············
Amidst the shouts of killing, thousands of Luoan army soldiers faced the artillery fire sloping down from the city in front of them, holding up shields and carrying ladders to continuously charge, and behind the Luoan army formation In a hidden watchtower, several Forbidden Army generals were standing there, quietly observing the battle in front of them.
"Damn it, they say that the Fengwu Army is invincible in all battles. I was so frightened that I thought they were immortal with three heads and six arms. But in the end, this is not the same virtue. I asked my brothers to give me a hard beating. Give it to me today. Take this bullshit Ogu County!" Looking at the battle in front of him, a strong man with a beard sneered loudly and proudly:
Hearing the sneer of this strong man, several Forbidden Army generals next to him also started laughing. Hearing the laughter of his colleagues, a general with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes frowned slightly as if he wanted to open his mouth to say something. , but after thinking about it, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
If Ye Mingsheng were standing here at this time, he would definitely be able to tell that this person was Wang Muzhi, his former boss in the Zhenwu Army. At this time, Wang Muzhi no longer had the high-spiritedness and sharpness he had in Liaoyang, but his whole person looked... , but he is more calm. There is no doubt that after leaving Liaoyang, he grew a lot during the war in Sichuan and Shu...
This bearded man is Zeng Yuanyi, the nephew of the chief minister, and he is married to the daughter of the Shangguan family. The two families are closely related, which makes Zeng Yuanyi highly valued by the chief minister. He also has a character that will retaliate for his anger and a very small belly. If I give advice when the other party is proud, I am afraid that I will offend the other party, which would be more than worth the gain.
Thinking of this, the general refocused his attention on the Dugu County in front of him. At this time, eleven days had passed since the Luoan Forbidden Army soldiers surrounded Dugu County!
In these eleven days, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Luo'an Forbidden Army launched more than 20 rounds of charges towards Dagu County. Although they relied on their strong strength advantage to cause huge damage to the defenders in the city, they were still There is no way to go beyond the thunder pool and capture this most advanced county in Jinzhong.
Today, eleven days later, although the defenders in the city can still have some food and grass, the gunpowder in their hands has been exhausted, and the firearms in their hands have gradually begun to experience various malfunctions due to the high-intensity fighting. However, under the blockade of the Luoan Forbidden Army, they have never been able to receive any supplements. In fact, they have become a lonely army and have fallen into a desperate situation.
However, under such circumstances, the Fengwu Army soldiers in Dagu City still did not give up their resistance. After all the artillery shells were fired and the firecrackers were broken, they stubbornly resisted the offensive of the Luoan Forbidden Army with their swords... ···············
At this moment, under the cover of fire trebuchets, hundreds of soldiers of the Luoan Forbidden Army climbed onto the city tower on ladders. Seeing this scene, the generals on the watchtower all showed expectant looks. This time During the winter offensive, the Luo'an Forbidden Army mobilized a total of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. The goal was to destroy the counties outside Jinzhong at this time and gain some advantages in the war between the two sides next year.
However, so far, in the five counties outside Jinzhong, the Luoan Forbidden Army has not destroyed any of them. This has invisibly put a lot of pressure on the Forbidden Army generals who commanded the offensive!
You must know that they have been preparing for this offensive for more than two months. Not only did they mobilize so many troops, they also spent a lot of money. Now that they have been fighting for so many days, they have also paid thousands of casualties. , after paying such a high price, if they failed to win a county, they really had no way to explain to the chief minister.
Although the expectations are beautiful, the reality is often cruel. Under the gaze of these senior generals, a fierce fighting broke out on the top of the city. Although the Forbidden Army officers who climbed onto the city tower were very brave, but under the gaze of the Fengwu Army, Under the joint strangulation of the tacit understanding of the soldiers, they were quickly killed. With the destruction of this group of people, the charge of the Forbidden Army soldiers once again failed.
Amidst the sighs and yells on the watchtower, Wang Muzhi stood up and said:
"After an hour, let our troops attack the city..."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals on the watchtower focused their attention on him. Seeing this, Zeng Yuanyi stood up and said in a strange way:
"Master Wang, do you realize that the Fengwu Army in Dagu County is at the end of its strength, so you plan to pick peaches?"
After hearing Zeng Yuanyi's words, Wang Muzhi turned to look at him, then looked at the sky and said:
"The credit belongs to you, Mr. Zeng. It's going to snow heavily soon. We don't have much time!"
As soon as these words came out, Zeng Yuanyi also noticed the darkness of the clouds in the sky, and his expression immediately became gloomy and uncertain. During this period, all those attacking the city were his troops. In his eyes, Feng Wu, who seemed to have made great achievements in battle, The army is just a group of silver spears and candle heads. It is the Yan army. The Henan army is too weak, which makes the Fengwu army stand out. When their forbidden army takes action, they can crush the Fengwu army like a bug and beat the shit out of the Fengwu army!
However, Zeng Yuanyi, who thought he could defeat the enemy and become more relaxed and happy, encountered a tough problem in Dagu County. The troops suffered thousands of casualties, but they were still unable to enter the city. Today, Zeng Yuanyi thought that he had overcome the exhaustion of the previous few days. They were able to capture Dagu County today, so they openly mocked the Fengwu Army. They wanted to find some face in front of their colleagues, but they never thought that their men would not be effective.
For the troops under his command, Zeng Yuanyi still knew that the siege just now had failed, and it would take several hours before they could regain their strength and continue the siege... ·········
But it is almost noon now, and it will be night in a few hours. It is already winter now, and the soldiers are wearing cotton-padded clothes to fight. At night, there is no sun and the temperature is even colder. There is no way to stay up and fight at night. If you want to launch a big war, A large-scale offensive will have to wait until at least tomorrow, but it looks like it will snow soon.
If the snow falls lightly, we can wait. If it snows heavily, it will be impossible to launch an offensive. In this case, he will be blamed for not taking over Dagu County. By then, he will be the one to blame. The chief assistant's nephew, the chief assistant would definitely not be able to spare him. ,
Thinking of this, Zeng Yuanyi rolled his eyes and seemed to have thought of something. He immediately raised his hands towards Wang Muzhi and said hypocritically:
"Since Brother Wang is determined to continue to lead his troops to attack the city, let's leave it to Brother Wang. Brother Wang, please rest assured that Zeng is not a stingy person. If he captures Dagu County, he will definitely report it to the Chief Assistant. Give half of the credit to Brother Wang!"
Zeng Yuanyi's pretentious look really made Wang Muzhi gag. From Zeng Yuanyi's words, he already understood what this bitch had in mind. Knowing that the heavy snow was coming, he knew that it would be difficult to win Dugu County on his own. He has probably already thought that if he fails to take Dugu County, he will put all the blame on himself.
If he had captured Otani County, he would probably take most of the credit and hint to his superiors that he was the one who took the credit... ···
Although he was very disdainful of Zeng Yuanyi's approach, Wang Muzhi had no choice but to force himself in, because he knew that if he could not go up and relied only on Zeng Yuanyi's words, then the Luo'an Forbidden Army would have consumed countless resources and suffered casualties. The war involving nearly ten thousand people may end in vain. This will greatly damage the morale of the Luoan Forbidden Army and cast a shadow over next year's decisive battle with the Fengwu Army!
So for the sake of the overall situation and for the sake of the Chief Assistant, he, Wang Muzhi, must also stand up!
Just as Wang Muzhi was preparing to lead his troops to attack the city, Ye Tao and Fang Dawei from Dagu County also gathered together to discuss the current situation.
"Master Fang, there are only more than 2,000 brothers left to defend the city. Half of them are brought with them, and the gunpowder is almost gone. When will our reinforcements come!" Ye Tao, whose face was filled with smoke. He asked Fang Dawei very anxiously:
Fang Dawei, who was observing the map, raised his head and looked at Ye Tao and said in a deep voice:
"The news just arrived, the reinforcements have arrived! They are in the small woods thirty miles west of the city!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Tao suddenly showed a look of surprise and said:
"Since the reinforcements have arrived, let them support them as soon as possible! What are you doing where they are staying... The higher ups want our army to attract them and take advantage of the enemy's attack When they entered the city, you suddenly came out and caught them off guard?"
Looking at Ye Tao who was in joy, Fang Dawei sighed in his heart, but under Ye Tao's gaze he still shook his head and said:
"neither!"
"ah?"
"The commander has taken out all the reserves wherever the troops are tense, but there are still too many enemy troops. According to the information we have received, enemy general Wang Muzhi has led 10,000 Liang troops and arrived in Shanxi five days in advance. Within the territory of China, it should be just outside Otani County at this time.”
"The total number of enemy troops in front of us may be close to 40,000. Dagu County can no longer defend it. Therefore, in order to prevent our army from being completely annihilated, the superiors specially squeezed out 2,000 support troops from various places. Assist our troops to withdraw from Dagu County!"
"Retreat?" Ye Tao said in surprise and anger:
Fang Dawei patted Ye Tao on the shoulder and said:
"I know it's hard for you to accept this result, and it's hard for me to accept giving up Dagu County, but you have to understand that we are withdrawing now so that we can fight back in the future. The commander-in-chief has urgently transported a batch of money, food and arms to Yunbin. Our Second Army will be able to expand soon, and then it’s time for us to fight back!”
Listening to Fang Dawei's comfort, Ye Tao instinctively said:
"But so many brothers died..."
Before Ye Tao could finish speaking, Fang Dawei interrupted him and said:
"There is no but! We have already killed thousands of Luoan Forbidden Army, which is enough. If we don't withdraw now, all our brothers will die here!"
Hearing this, Ye Tao closed his eyes in pain, bowed and accepted the order and said:
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Following Fang Dawei's order, the Fengwu Army in Dagu County was also preparing to retreat. Although the soldiers were emotionally unwilling to accept this decision, they still faithfully implemented the decision because the retreat was to reduce the burden. In order to prevent the artillery from falling into the hands of the enemy, they blew up the artillery that had no shells, and gave all the extra food to the people, telling the people that it would not be long before the Fengwu Army would regain its strength and fight back. .
After doing all this, Fang Dawei and Ye Tao began to retreat with their troops. At the same time, Wang Muzhi, who was preparing to attack the city, also received the news.
"Sir, the Fengwu Army has retreated from the west gate of the city, and Lord Zeng has led his troops to pursue it!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Muzhi's eyes instantly flashed with light, and he immediately ordered:
"Let the soldiers gather quickly and pursue the enemy with me!"
After a stick of incense, Zeng Yuanyi was riding a tall horse on the willow slope fifteen miles west of Dagu County, happily pursuing... ·
He knew that the Fengwu Army in Dagu County was at the end of its strength. As he expected, the Fengwu Army finally abandoned the city and fled. Thinking of this, Zeng Yuanyi became even more excited.
You bunch of bastards from the Fengwu Army, you were holding me on your back in the city before, but now you finally come out of your turtle shells, now let you bunch of bitches see how I deal with you! None of you brewed by him can even think of escaping!
Just when Zeng Yuanyi was constantly imagining how to ravage and suppress the Fengwu Army, he suddenly heard the sound of artillery from two provinces in the sky. The next second, countless bullets were fired from all directions on both sides of Liushipo Road. The pursuing Luoan Forbidden Army did not expect to be attacked by such a sudden attack. There was chaos in the area for a while, and hundreds of people were killed by artillery fire and bullets.
After a round of fire strikes, Zeng Yuanyi, who was panicking, reacted and prepared to organize his troops to form a formation to meet the enemy. Thousands of Fengwu troops came out like tigers descending from the mountain. Bravely, he directly overwhelmed the Luoan army formation, causing countless Forbidden Army soldiers to fall in a pool of blood.
However, the Forbidden Army is a Forbidden Army after all, and cannot be compared with the Henan Army and the Yan Army. Although the situation is not in their favor, they still insist on fighting and do not let the Fengwu Army completely defeat them... ·············
