I’m The King

Chapter 682: Why is it too anxious to fry with the same root (4)

Nanzhang guard Qin Lei has been anxious like an ant on a hot pot these days. Zhao Jun gave up Nanzhang and did not fight. He actually bypassed this military town and rushed to Xiling with heavy troops, which greatly exceeded him. Unexpectedly, now outside the city, Zhao General Li Mingjun led 10,000 Zhao's standing army to encircle Nanzhang, and his intentions were clear. , Have you all the way!

Zilan deployed 10,000 defenders in Nanzhang. In terms of quantity, they were about the same as Zhao Jun, but in terms of quality, Qin Lei knew that they were incomparable. Zhao Jun and Qin Jun had fought for many years. The soldiers are all brave men who have experienced battles. Although the soldiers of the county have improved a lot in the past two years, the real elite soldiers are all under the command of Feng Fayong in Shannan County. The more than 10,000 people here are all like this. New recruits recruited in two years.

Because of the Hecheng massacre, Nanzhang is filled with righteous indignation, and all will become a city, but with the passage of time, this kind of soldiers will gradually decline, facing the demands of the generals in the city to go out of the city and fight Zhao Jun to the death, Qin Lei I can only shake my head with a wry smile, I'm afraid Li Mingjun will not ask for it.

Being stuck in Nanzhang will also make Zhao Qi, who attacked Xiling, hesitate, dare not let go, and can also contain Li Mingjun’s men, and if he goes out of the city to fight decisively, I am afraid that Nanzhang’s defenders will not last long, Nan Once Zhang collapsed and the opponent had no worries, Xiling was truly dangerous.

Qin Lei is no stranger to Li Mingjun, who is now under siege. He was the brave and brave general who followed Taiwei Zhao Mu's battlefield. In the battle at Hangu Pass a few years ago, he was also the first batch of troops to attack the letter. The people at the head of Guguan failed in the end. When he retreated sadly, he was the last to withdraw from the head of the city after the break. Although he was a dozen years younger than himself, he had fought countless times more than himself. Qin Lei consciously couldn't compare with him, whether it was his grasp of the battlefield, command or personal strength.

Guarding in the city, relying on these sharp crossbows, arms spreading crossbows and other weapons supported by Yan Guozheng Dongfu, Qin Lei was still confident that he would not let his opponent go beyond the thunder pool, but he was not sure about going out of the city to fight. . , Have you all the way!

"General Qin, caught a meticulous work." The officer on duty today, Qin Xing, and his nephew, who walked in strode, "This person actually climbed up from the city wall."

"Climbed up?" Qin Lei was startled. "The city wall was more than ten meters high. We poured water on and it froze. How did he climb up?"

Qin Xing was carrying a thin roll of rope with an anchor hook on the head of the rope, "It is with this thing, this guy claims to be a member of the Eastern Army and came to Nanzhang to report to the general. Important matters."

People who conquered the Eastern Army? Qin Lei's heart jumped, and the Zhengdong Army sent troops to help Daijun fight. This is still a secret in Daijun, which is not known to outsiders except that a few people know it. If someone claims to be a messenger of the Eastern Army, it will probably not be a fake.

"Where is this person now?" he asked nervously.

"General, the subordinates knew the secret of the matter, and they brought this person to you at the first moment. I have especially told the soldiers who have been in contact with this person that they are not allowed to leak a word." Qin Xing said.

"Bring him to me, um, yes, Qin Xing, after you go down, tell those soldiers who have been in contact with this person that this person is a spy for Zhao Jun outside the city. He intends to spy on my Nanzhang city defense. I beheaded." Qin Lei said.

"I will understand!" Qin Xing strode out.

Two soldiers walked in with a big and thick man. The man's hands were tied behind him, but Qin Lei could see that this man was not nervous. When he saw Qin Lei, his face even showed a smile.

"Untie!" Qin Lei waved his hand and said.

The two soldiers hesitated and stretched out their hands to untie the hemp rope tied to the incoming man's hand, but the man did not back up, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and stared at the big man intensively. Climbing up from the city wall that is not slippery with only a rope, this skill is not available to everyone. , Have you all the way!

The visitor stroked the marks on his wrists and said with a smile: "General Qin, your Nanzhang guard is really dripping. I thought I could touch your general mansion without knowing it. Unexpectedly just now Climbing up the city wall, he was arrested."

Qin Lei smiled indifferently, "The whole city of Crane City was slaughtered. Naturally, Nanzhang is a soldier. There is no dead corner on the wall. You climb up and naturally there is nowhere to hide."

The visitor nodded, "The matter of Crane City is indeed regrettable, but Crane City's tenacious defense has also bought us precious time. I am here to discuss with the general how to break the city's Li Mingjun's department."

"Break it?" Qin Lei raised his eyebrows.

The visitor nodded, "Under the sword, under the command of Captain Bai Yucheng of the Special Brigade of the East Mansion." He looked around the two soldiers on the left and right, and Qin Lei waved his hand knowingly, "Go down, you two."

The two soldiers turned and left. Hengdao took out a bamboo tube from his arms, unscrewed the tube, took out the thinly-rolled paper tube from inside, and handed it to Qin Lei, "General Qin, I will conquer the center of the East Mansion. The Infantry General of the First Army of the Field Army has led more than 1,000 cavalry to secretly arrive near Nanzhang."

"Is there only more than a thousand cavalry?" A support soldier came from outside the city, and it was also the world-famous Zhengdong Army. Even though Qin Lei was steady, his heart jumped, and there was a strange soldier watching Zhao Jun's side. The scale of victory in this battle tilted to oneself. Only a thousand cavalry is too few.

He seemed to have guessed Qin Lei's thoughts, Hengdao smiled, "General Qin, you should believe in the combat effectiveness of our Eastern Army. The infantry general is a well-known general under the command of the governor. He has been fighting with the Donghu for many years and has extremely rich experience. In addition to this cavalry, we also have a special brigade also guerrillas near Nanzhang, with mental arithmetic and unintentional. In this battle, we have already taken the lead."

Qin Lei carefully read the secret letter in his hand, "Need us to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight?"

"Yes, General Qin, you have more than 10,000 troops under your command, and they are well-equipped. Compared with Zhao Jun, you are not left behind. The current situation requires us to take the initiative to defeat Li Mingjun outside Nanzhang City at the fastest speed. The troops, completely cut off the back of Zhao Qi's main troops under the city of Xiling. Otherwise, as soon as the battle is prolonged, Zhao Jun will be able to deploy more reinforcements. Then, this battle will be difficult to fight, and the victory will be indefinite."

"But this is too risky."

"War is a risk in itself. In this world, there is nothing foolproof." Hengdao spread his hands, "but we must have the confidence to win."

"I need to think about it." Qin Lei's face was solemn.

"Okay, but General Qin, please make up your mind. Our infantry general has more than 1,000 troops. It is not an easy task to hide their traces for a long time. The longer it is, the more likely it is to be discovered by Li Mingjun. This person is also a veteran with rich experience. Over time, he will inevitably find strange things."

Three days later, in a snow-covered valley tens of miles away from Nanzhang, Hengdao saw the infantry and Bai Yucheng. More than a thousand cavalrymen were hidden here. In order to hide their traces, in this valley, you can’t When a fire is lighted, everyone can eat snow water and chew raw and cold dry food to satisfy their hunger.

"Qin Lei agreed. Nanzhang has already begun to mobilize the whole city. One day later, Nanzhang general attacked and fought Li Mingjun to the death." Seeing the two, the first sentence of Hengdao made the infantry scream. In a sigh of relief, "Great!" He clapped and celebrated, "The weather is too cold. If you stay, the combat effectiveness of my more than 1,000 cavalry will inevitably be compromised. Captain Bai, how are you preparing? Up?"

Bai Yucheng smiled happily: "These days, we pretended to be the people of the county and attacked Hu Liang's Yuliang convoy and burned countless convoys. Hu Liang was so angry that he sent troops to sweep around. The people around here were tortured by him. The dead have nothing to do with grievances. My people will pretend to be officials of the county, and just a little bit of it will damp everyone's anger. When the war is together, we can mobilize tens of thousands of people around Nanzhang. The last name came to help."

"Such a big event can be fixed!" Hengdao burst out laughing.

"Captain Bai, you still have to pay attention to your own proportions. After all, they are ordinary people. If they really clash with Zhao Jun, the casualties are not a small number. What I want is that you can attract the attention of Li Mingjun. Li Mingjun has to deal with Qin Lei's offensive, and the turbulent people on the other. Once the forces are dispersed, our troops will surely be effective in one fell swoop." Bingbu exhorted.

"Don't worry~www.wuxiaspot.com~The battle is together. Hu Liang's army is scattered on the long supply line. It can't make any difference. Qin Chunhua's people are still fighting for the benefit, and it is difficult to come over in time. When the fight started, Li Mingjun could hardly escape defeat. After defeating Li Mingjun, Qin Qinhua and Hu Liang would definitely withdraw their troops. At that time, Zhao Qi under Xiling City would become Wengzhong's turtle." Bai Yucheng laughed.

Xiling City is now surrounded by Zhao Qi’s three-way army, but for more than ten days of siege, Zhao Qi’s Qiqiao has become smoked. He has not even broken the outer defense of Xiling City. The staggered outer defense system is in the city. With the support of long-range weapons, they stubbornly repelled Zhao Jun's offensive again and again.

Zhao Qi, who was already in his chest, became anxious day by day. The situation of Daijun was obviously much more serious than he expected. Qin Chunhua led his troops to attack Jianli, but he is still in a stalemate. The people of Daijun’s surprise attack several times a day resulted in heavy losses of food and grass and manpower. The amount of food and grass transported to the army in Xiling City was getting less and less every day. Although he reprimanded himself severely, Hu Liang was nothing but ills. Every day is less.

This made Zhao Qi feel a little regretful, or Zhao Mu's deployment was correct at the time. If he didn't take Nanzhang, he couldn't enter Xiling. If there is a loss in Li Mingjun's department in Nanzhang, the consequences would be a bit disastrous. P
