While Chen Wenzhao was eating and drinking on the city wall, in the Fengwu Army camp outside Heyi County, Yuan Song, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, was standing on the watchtower... ···············
Observing the situation in Heyi County with a telescope, Yuan Song's expression was very serious. After a moment, he asked Zheng Chuang, the staff officer next to him:
"What time is it now?"
Zheng Chuang thought for a while and said:
"It's just the third watch now, and it's about an hour until the fourth watch!"
Yuan Song nodded slightly when he heard this, and looked at Heyi County with a very serious look. Seeing this, Zheng Chuang hesitated and said:
"Master Yuan, it's cold outside and the night is getting dark. Do you think you should go back and rest for a while?"
Yuan Song did not reply when he heard this, but still looked at Heyi County with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Zheng Chuang continued to advise:
"Master Yuan, you are the commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield. The more than 100,000 Fengwu soldiers on the Yunbin battlefield all rely on you. You must take good care of your body!"
After Zheng Chuang finished speaking, Yuan Sen, Yuan Song's nephew and captain of the soldiers, also warned in a low voice:
"Uncle, what Staff Zheng said makes sense. It's too cold outside. You go back to the camp and rest for a while. Wait until the fourth watch. The guard should send a signal and I'll call you to take command!"
Hearing the successive dissuasion from his subordinates and nephew, Yuan Song also felt a little cold in his body, and then ordered to Zheng Chuang:
"I'll go back and rest for a while. I'll leave the situation here to you. If there is any movement, notify me immediately..."
Zheng Chuang nodded and said solemnly:
"Master Yuan, please rest assured!"
Hearing Zheng Chuang's answer, Yuan Song nodded slightly, and then returned to the Chinese army camp under the escort of Yuan Sen and others.
Because he received the latest information from the Coordination Office, Yuan Song rushed from Jinyang to the surrounding areas of Heyi County yesterday in order to personally command the operation.
But after all, it’s because of his old age, coupled with decades of military service, he has a lot of old physical problems, and it’s still 39 weather, it’s freezing outside, and Yuan Song’s body is a little overwhelmed after running around for several days. Although I really wanted to hold on, but in the end it was still unsustainable.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Yuan Song lay down on the camp bed. Without asking his nephew Yuan Sen, he put the stove beside him and started to cook ginger soup for Yuan Song.
After half a stick of incense, Yuan Sen came to Yuan Song with a bowl of ginger soup. Upon seeing this, Yuan Song also sat up on the camp bed and drank the ginger soup one mouthful at a time.
As the ginger soup entered his throat, Yuan Song's face became rosy, and the heat in his body became more and more. After he recovered, Yuan Song also said with some self-deprecation:
"Man! I really refuse to accept old age. When I was in Yijing, I thought I could still work for at least ten years. I didn't expect that I would be stumped by the slightest wind and cold when I came to Yunbin. I am really becoming more and more useless... ·························"
Listening to Yuan Song's words, Yuan Sen also consoled him:
"Uncle, you are now in the prime of spring and autumn, and you are not old at all! It is extremely cold this year in Yunbin. Not to mention that you are fifty years old, I am only in my twenties and I am still shivering with cold!"
Although he knew that his nephew was trying to comfort him, Yuan Song's mood eased a lot after hearing what he said. He really didn't want to submit to his old age. He still wanted to work for more than ten years, but he didn't want to do it now. Collect mountains.
After finishing the ginger soup in the bowl, Yuan Song ordered to his nephew:
"You have been with me for many years, and you have made great progress over the years. Have you ever thought about your future?"
Yuan Sen felt very sudden when these words came out. He hesitated for a while, shook his head and said:
"Uncle, I really haven't thought about this. I just want to be a captain of your personal soldiers and be by your side to take care of you!"
Hearing what Yuan Sen said, Yuan Song shook his head lovingly and said:
"You are only twenty-five years old this year. It is the time when you should be ambitious. Why are you so unambitious?"
"I was working as a corps commander in the Forbidden Army at your time, and I was thinking about being a commander and a commander all day long!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Song seemed to recall his time fighting in the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After recalling the eventful years of the past for a while, Yuan Song opened his mouth and gave instructions:
"There is a position of sentry commander under the Second Army. After the attack on Heyi County this time, you can fill this position. I will report to the General Staff Headquarters... ············”
"It will not be good for your future development if you are not convinced by being made the commander directly. After you go to serve in the Second Army, you should work hard. Don't ruin the reputation of our Yuan family. Try to make more contributions so that your uncle can promote you. !" Yuan Song patted Yuan Sen's shoulder and warned:
Yuan Sen is the son of his second brother. His second brother died early due to tuberculosis. Yuan Sen has been with him since he was fifteen years old. Over the years, he has been fighting with him in both north and south. He started as a personal guard and became his Captain of the Guards.
When he was the chief of general staff in Yi Jing, Yuan Song thought that Yuan Sen was getting older and he should have his own future. He could not always do the work of serving tea and serving people around him, but because Knowing that Yuan Sen's character was not suitable for serving in the agency, Yuan Song did not keep Yuan Sen in the General Staff Headquarters.
This time when he was transferred to Yun Bing, Yuan Song also wanted to arrange Yuan Sen out and give Yuan Sen a broad world so that he could make great achievements.
】
Regarding Yuan Song's words, Yuan Sen's emotions were a little complicated. After hesitating for a while, he said to Yuan Song with some reluctance:
"Uncle, I'm leaving too, who will take care of you?"
Yuan Song burst out laughing when he heard this and said immediately:
"I'm not a three-year-old child. Besides, Zhang Li and the others are still here. You don't have to worry about it. This matter has been settled. You don't want to be with your mother-in-law anymore. This is not a separation of life and death!"
After hearing this, Yuan Sen calmed down his emotions, nodded heavily towards Yuan Song and said:
"Uncle, I understand, I will not embarrass the Yuan family..."
After listening to Yuan Sen's answer, Yuan Song nodded with satisfaction, then handed the empty bowl of ginger soup to Yuan Sen and said:
"Put out the kerosene lamp. I'm going to take a nap for a while. Come and call me at the fourth watch!"
"yes!"
At the stall where Yuan Song was resting, Yun Bingjun in Heyi County was quietly gathering.
Huang Kai, the commander of the Yun Bing Army, walked to Chen Wenzhao and said in a deep voice:
"Commander Chen, our manpower has been ambushed near the south city gate. As long as the Fengwu Army arrives, we will ensure a head-on attack for them!"
Listening to Huang Kai's report, Chen Wenzhao raised the corner of his mouth with a cruel arc and then ordered:
"Tell me brothers, aren't you always clamoring for military pay?"
"Now Governor Wang has prepared a reward for us in Jinyang. Each Fengwu soldier has five taels of silver in his head. The opportunity to make a fortune has been given to them. Now let's see if they can seize it!"
As soon as these words came out, a look of greed appeared in Huang Kai's eyes, and he patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, all our soldiers are decent men. We will drink the blood of the Fengwu Army tonight!"
Regarding Huang Kai's statement, Chen Wenzhao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Very good! Go down and get ready! The show is about to begin!"
"yes!"
Standing on the city wall and continuing to look at the Fengwu Army camp outside the city, Chen Wenzhao's eyes were full of joking pride...
In his opinion, the Fengwu Army is now immersed in the joy of victory in capturing Wenshan County. They may think that the Yunbing Army will collapse under their powerful offensive. They never thought that they would give them a severe blow in Heyi County. .
Three days ago, the governor of Yunbin, Wang Muzhi, issued a secret order to him, asking him to arrange for his men to pretend to deliver a message to the Fengwu Army, saying that he would imitate Wenshan County and dedicate Heyi County to the Fengwu Army.
Wang Muzhi believes that the Fengwu Army has always liked to play propaganda offensives, trying to find loopholes that can be exploited within the enemy. They like to use this trick when attacking cities.
Therefore, as long as Wang Muzhi throws the bait to the Fengwu Army, they will definitely bite the hook!
In order to make his plan look more realistic, Wang Muzhi also withdrew the Yun Bing army in Xiaode County, pretending to give up on Heyi County!
In fact, Wang Muzhi really wanted to abandon Heyi County. After Fengwu Army captured Wenshan County and Xiaode County could not hold on, Heyi County was completely surrounded by Fengwu Army and could no longer achieve what Wang Muzhi expected. , blocking the Fengwu Army from becoming a barrier to Jinyang!
Since the role of Heyi County has become very small, Wang Muzhi just doesn't want to waste all the 15,000 troops and horses in Heyi County there... ···············
These 15,000 people are veterans of Yun Bing's army and have very strong combat effectiveness. If they can be withdrawn to Jinyang, they can play a greater role in the subsequent defense battle of Jinyang!
Although he had such an idea, Wang Muzhi also knew that Heyi County was being surrounded by the Second Army of the Fengwu Army. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for them to withdraw, so Wang Muzhi set up a situation and asked his men to pretend to sacrifice the city and send the besieged troops to the city. The Second Army introduced a prepared ambush to severely damage the Second Army, and then took the opportunity to break out in the direction of Xiaode.
Although the Yun Bing Army ostensibly withdrew all its soldiers from Xiaode and Xiaode County was taken over by the Fengwu Army, in reality Wang Muzhi had more than 500 elite men quietly hide in the county. .
In addition, Xiaode is very close to Jinyang and is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Therefore, Wang Muzhi also plans to launch a night attack on Xiaode tonight to recapture Xiaode County to support Chen Wenzhao's breakout.
Chen Wenzhao deeply agrees with Wang Muzhi's entire plan. Although he has a blood feud with Fengwu Army and dreams of revenge against Fengwu Army, as the old saying goes, it is better to live and die well!
Although the current situation in Heyi County is still in his hands, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time that Heyi County is captured by the Fengwu Army. Once Heyi County is captured by the Fengwu Army, he will Chen Wenzhao's fate is naturally self-evident...
So now that he has a chance to survive, Chen Wenzhao is naturally very happy, and before leaving Heyi County, he wants to fuck the Fengwu Army hard to let the Fengwu Army know how powerful Chen Wenzhao is, and he will take it away. Collect the interest for killing your father!
Soon it was the fourth watch, which was the time agreed upon by both parties. Under Chen Wenzhao's order, the defenders at the South City Gate fired three fireworks representing signals.
As the signal slowly rose in the sky, the Fengwu troops who had been prepared outside the South City Gate immediately rushed towards the South City Gate.
Looking at the Fengwu Army soldiers who rushed up, Chen Wenzhao couldn't help laughing. He could already imagine that after a cup of tea, countless Fengwu Army soldiers were killed and injured, bleeding all over the ground, helplessly wailing in pain and despair. What a joyful scene!
However, after waiting for a while, Chen Wenzhao did not wait for the shouts of killing from his subordinates, which made him a little confused. Logically speaking, after the Fengwu Army entered the city from the south gate, they should have entered an ambush. Why aren't the soldiers under my command taking action now?
Just when Chen Wenzhao was confused, the panicked Huang Kai came to him and said:
"General, after the enemy troops entered through the South City Gate, they did not continue to rush into the encirclement. They stopped at the South City Gate!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Wenzhao's eyes widened in disbelief, and at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the dark night.
Although the sound sounded like thunder, Chen Wenzhao, who had been shelled by the Fengwu Army for more than a month, immediately realized that the Fengwu Army was firing at the Fengwu Army... ················
Chen Wenzhong immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and his premonition was indeed correct. Soon another messenger came over and reported:
"My lord, the Fengwu Army has launched a full-scale attack on the city from the east, west, and north. Brothers, we are almost unable to stop it!"
Chen Wenzhao felt his head sink when he heard the news, and then his legs softened and he sat on the ground. Sitting on the ground, he closed his eyes in pain.
In order to create an ambush at the South City Gate, he mobilized most of the defenders of the other three city gates. Now the defenders of these three city gates are very empty. They will definitely not be able to defend against the full attack of the Fengwu Army. And now It was already too late to move the troops back from the south city gate!
Just when Chen Wenzhao fell into boundless pain and regret, he suddenly thought of a possibility. Like a drowning man grabbing the last life-saving straw, he roared madly:
"Let all the soldiers attack the South City Gate! Take back the South City Gate. That is our last hope. We have to fight our way out! We will fight against the son-of-a-bitch Fengwu Army..." ··················”
(Originally, this chapter was not planned to have this plot, but yesterday I received a very thoughtful chapter review, which made Tongming suddenly realize it, so today I temporarily adjusted the plot. I hope everyone likes it. The only pity is that the chapter review was harmonized. !)
