The accident happened too quickly. As soon as Du Fuwei mentioned the former Qin and Deng Qiang, they led their troops and gave him a hard blow.
"Liu Guangshi is a thief who has tens of thousands of troops but dare not fight. He is a general in vain!"
Kan Leng cursed immediately when he heard the news.
When Liu Guangshi came to seek refuge, his attitude was extremely low. In addition, because he had tens of thousands of troops, Du Fuwei accepted him and placed him near Nushan Lake.
Although, arranging the opponent here is meant to act as a shield against Deng Qiang and Yingbu troops.
But Du Fuwei also sent food and supplies to the other party.
In general, Du Fuwei gave the opponent a place to settle down and reorganize his troops. Both parties are mutually beneficial, and Du Fuwei has to pay a little more.
If Liu Guangshi was a little more grateful, even if he only resisted Deng Qiang for a few hours, it would be nice to make Du Fuwei in Hukou a little more prepared...
It's a pity that Du Fuwei and others have tried their best to overestimate Liu Guangshi's ability and character, but they still didn't expect that this man's name as a long-legged general in history was not random.
According to the news, only hundreds of soldiers and horses were lost, and Liu Guangshi's army was unable to hold on. Then, with Liu Guangshi taking the lead to escape, the entire army collapsed.
With Liu Guangshi's ability to escape, he should have been able to escape with some of his elite members.
However, Deng Qiang personally led his cavalry in pursuit, and Liu Guangshi was caught up and surrendered decisively.
The tens of thousands of troops could not even block the former Qin army for two hours.
In addition, Deng Qiang received all the large amounts of grain and grass that Du Fuwei gave to Liu Guangshi.
The former Qin army, which was short of food and grass, could only exert half of its strength. With the precious food and grass supplements, Deng Qiang's army could soon regain all its combat effectiveness.
"Where is Deng Qiang's army? Where are they now?"
Du Fuwei managed to remain calm and asked.
The general who came to report the news immediately replied: "A group of troops from the former Qin Army has crossed Nvshan Lake and is attacking various villages and towns to the west of our army..."
Du Fuwei closed his eyes slightly, then opened them suddenly after a moment, and said: "Immediately send people to clear the country, and bring back all the people, food and grass west of the lake mouth. Those who can't be brought back will be burned. Don't leave any enemies behind!"
"Xiongdan, go to Laozishan Camp, report the news about the former Qin army to King Huai, and ask King Huai to send generals to support!"
The Deng Qiang of the former Qin Dynasty posed a great threat to Hukou.
If he waits for the army to approach the city, Du Fuwei will not be sure to save the city in the hands of Deng Qiang. The only one who can stop Deng Qiang is the Huai army.
"Child, go right now!"
Wang Xiongdan also knew that the situation was urgent, so he turned around and walked away without any delay.
"Kan Leng, take people to patrol the city and be prepared to defend the city!"
"Children take orders!"
At this time, Kan Leng had nothing to say, so he accepted the order in a deep voice and immediately went to assemble his army to prepare for war.
Wait until everyone leaves.
Du Fuwei's face slowly turned gloomy, and a murderous intention toward Liu Guangshi surged in his chest.
After a while, the murderous intention in his heart slowly calmed down.
"Deng Qiang, Liu Guangshi!"
While he was angry, he also felt a sense of frustration and helplessness in his heart. He was no match for Deng Qiang's army of the former Qin Dynasty. It seemed that what he just said about defecting to King Huai would soon become true.
no way.
In the mainland of China, the princes are rising together and competing for hegemony. A force like him with weak abilities and foundation will be eliminated sooner or later.
In the current Jianghuai land, forces of his level and Fugongyou's level are slowly being eliminated.
It won't be long before the overlord who occupies the entire Jianghuai land will be born.
The Huai army was at its peak, and Wang Jing's reputation shocked the entire Jianghuai area. Du Fuwei was very optimistic about King Huai.
Military sentiment is on fire. Guwu
Hukou is not far from the Laozi Mountain Camp, so Wang Xiongdan arrived at the Laozi Mountain Camp in only a short time. Report this news to Wang Jing.
"Deng Qiang sent troops..."
Wang Jing was not surprised when he heard the news.
Looking at Wang Xiongdan who came to ask for help, Wang Jing pondered slightly and said: "Deng Qiang is a seventh-level military general, capable of defeating thousands of armies. Now the only way to stop the former Qin's troops is to go to Hukou and take a seat alone!"
"Since I have formed an alliance with your general, I will never break my promise. You go back first. In three days, I will go to Hukou in person!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Wang Xiongdan thanked him with some excitement.
After he left, Bu Zhao said with some sigh: "I didn't expect that Du Fuwei just started to clear the country now. It's a bit late, so he gave Deng Qiang some food and grass for nothing!"
Wang Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if Deng Qiang had enough food and grass to replenish his strength, it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time. At this time, his army had not yet gathered its strength and he hurriedly attacked Du Fuwei. He obviously knew our army's movements." , I’m already a little anxious!”
"The city of Hukou is quite solidly built. If Deng Qiang dares to attack, Gu will personally sit in Hukou and wear down the strength and vigor of the former Qin Dynasty!"
"Before attacking Baoying, if Deng Qiang reveals a weakness, attack Deng Qiang first!"
Whether it was the former Qin army or the Sui army, they were all huge hidden dangers in Wang Jing's eyes.
Fu Jian and Wang Meng of the former Qin Dynasty, Yang Jian, He Ruobi, Gao Ying, Yang Su, etc. of the Sui army were all outstanding figures of their generation.
Some people say that it is only enjoyable to fight against such heroes.
But in Wang Jing's view, the more incompetent his enemies are, the better.
Anyone who hopes that his opponent will be strong is hypocritical.
Bu Zhi understood the meaning of this and nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Jing's point of view.
In fact, he was more willing to let Wang Jing lead an army to attack the former Qin army, rather than directly command an army of 400,000 to merge with the four major princes in Yangzhou, Gaoyou and other places.
The art of war pays attention to changing according to the trend.
Adjustments to strategy during a war are normal.
The former Qin army was eyeing Hukou and wanted to capture Du Fuwei, posing a threat to the Huai army's southward strategy.
For this unexpected situation.
The Huai army responded unhurriedly.
It only accelerated Sihong's speed in adjusting grain, grass supplies, troops and horses.
…
boom!
With a huge sound, kerosene bombs and boulders were launched by trebuchets and bombarded the city wall in front. The kerosene bombs were like falling meteors and made a violent roar when they landed on the top of the city.
The collision between the boulder and the city wall caused a strong thunderous shock.
Stones flew flying, and the enemy soldiers on top of the city were affected. Their bones were broken, their heads were bruised and bleeding, and they let out shrill screams.
"Put it back!"
Zhang Lin looked at Jinhu City coldly on the warship and kept giving orders. The trebuchets on the ship kept firing, bombarding the city top.
The range of the riprap truck built by the Construction Department has been increased by one-third.
This one-third of the range is sometimes the difference between heaven and earth.
Just like this time.
The Huai Army's catapults moved forward and could continuously bombard the city head of Jinhu City. However, the catapults on the city top were unable to hit the Huai Army warships in the distance, leaving them in a passive position of being beaten.
Of course, the city cannot be captured by catapults alone. It can only weaken the morale of the enemy.
