- "You said, the foreign grandsons of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force won't notice it, right?"
"Shut your crow mouth!"
Late at night, the Confederate General Lin Zhen glared at Wei Yun, who was speaking eloquently, and then looked to the west with worried and worried eyes.
In that direction, as many as 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers of the Liaodong Expedition were stationed there to rest, only a few miles away from Jijing. At this distance, almost all the Jizhou Army cavalry can ride their horses back and forth in a very short time, not to mention the Liaodong Expeditionary Soldiers whose equestrian skills are no less than that of the Yuyang Cavalry. After all, they come from a nation on horseback, a prairie tribe. .
¡°Dong dong dong¡ª¡ª! Dong dong dong¡ª¡ª!¡±
From the upper floors of Jijing City, the sound of drums resounded throughout the sky. The sound drifted and swayed, and without any accident it reached the ears of the soldiers of the Liaodong Expedition who were stationed and resting just a few meters away from Jijing.
"What are those bastards doing when they stay up late at night?" A sleeping soldier was woken up. He turned over and sat up, looking in the direction of Ji Jing in annoyance, cursing in prairie dialect to express his feelings. of anger.
Not only this soldier, but almost half of the soldiers were woken up. They wanted to rush to Jijing City at this moment, but at the same time they also knew that this was impossible, at least not in a short time. may happen.
The capital of the great Zhou Dynasty had city walls that were too high and a moat that was too deep. Unless the people in the city took the initiative to go out to fight them, it would be difficult for them to attack even ten cities in a short time, let alone the one city that King Yan promised them. Go to the top of the city, because the city is full of cowards!
"Continue to rest and don't pay attention to it. When it gets bright tomorrow, you and I will go to the city to fight again!"
A foreign cavalry general who looked like a leader said angrily. He immediately pulled the cashmere blanket covering his body and completely covered his ears.
Seeing this, the other soldiers followed suit and covered their heads with cashmere stalls to keep out the cold. I hope this will block the noise coming from Jijing.
How did they know that just when they thought Ji Jing was planning to trick them again, there was an army in Jijing that was planning to evacuate from the city.
"Boom¡ª¡ª"
With a loud sound, the Yongding Gate on the south side of Jijing City slowly opened, and then, a group of infantry slowly walked out from the city.
It¡¯s the Southern Army!
In order to facilitate the march. At this time, the Confederate army had taken off most of the heavy armor on their bodies, especially the breastplates. They wrapped their heavy armors with rifles and carried them behind their backs. This made the Confederate army, which had a strong defense due to its equipment, Becoming extremely vulnerable now. If the Liaodong Expeditionary Force noticed the Southern Army's intention to withdraw from Jijing and led a mass attack, it would undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for the Southern Army.
It is precisely because of this that the conversation between Lin Zhen and Wei Yun just happened.
The leading general is Le Jun, the general of the Southern Army. Otherwise, this fierce general would be extremely nervous at the moment. A pair of tiger eyes stared at the west, for fear of something happening there.
Fortunately, the Liaodong Expeditionary Force had been harassed by Chang Sun Xiangyu's tactics a few days ago and no longer paid any attention to Jijing at night. This gave the Southern Army the opportunity to seize the loophole and steal it from under the nose of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force. Sneak away quietly.
Lin Zhen nodded to Lin Zhen on the tower, and Le Jun waved his hand, as if it was some kind of signal. Under the cover of the sound of drums resounding from the tower, the soldiers of the Southern Army began to move toward him silently. Evacuate to the south.
??He walked in the dark. Especially under the current situation of a powerful enemy, this is an extremely test of willpower, because there is no guarantee when the Liaodong Expeditionary Force will notice the changes here and lead an attack.
It is precisely because of this that Xie An chose the Southern Army as the first army to evacuate from Jijing. First, the Southern Army was heavy infantry and its marching speed was not fast. If they were left as the last few retreating troops, they would most likely be overtaken by soldiers from the northern Xinjiang due to their slow marching speed. By then, the Southern Army would inevitably repeat the same mistakes they made at the Hangu Pass in Han Dynasty; secondly. The Confederate army has strong willpower and is relatively capable of shouldering such a test of will. As long as they can successfully evacuate quietly under the eyes of the enemy, this will obviously have an encouraging effect on the subsequent evacuation of the soldiers.
It has to be said that at this moment, the Southern Army is simply walking on thin ice. Every soldier and general is tense and paying attention to any disturbance around him. But having said that, even if the atmosphere in the army is almost condensed, the Southern Army is still It was silent, and no soldier made even the slightest sound. This made people sincerely admire the tenacity of will and strict discipline of the soldiers of the South.
They did not dare to hold torches because the light of the torches would attract the attention of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force. Therefore, they could onlyHei hurried on the road, trying to stay away from Ji Jing in the shortest possible time. The farther the better.
However, even the three generals Lin Zhen, Le Jun, and Wei Yun did not expect that just when they thought that this trick had succeeded, they saw a small group of people lurking in the woods on the far southwest side of Jijing. Behind him, he looked solemnly at the Southern troops evacuating from Jijing City.
The two generals who bear the brunt are Yu Dou and Zhang Qi.
"As expected of Your Highness, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's trick was so clever that it failed to deceive His Highness at all"
Deep admiration for King Yan Li Mao appeared in Youdou's eyes. He lowered his voice and murmured with a bit of sarcasm directed at Ji Jing's already eldest son, Xiangyu.
"Ha!" Zhang Qi smiled faintly when he heard this, and Quan responded in agreement. Then he looked at the Southern Army in the distance, licked his lips and said, "If Your Highness allows me to wait until now to send troops to ambush, that would be great! It would be great if we send troops now. , that infantry will definitely die, and even if you are lucky, you can capture the south gate of Jijing" However, he was interrupted by Youdou before he could finish his words.
"No!" He slapped Zhang Qi's shoulder with his right hand and said in a low voice, "The reason Ji Jing was able to resist our army for several months was all thanks to the help of the city wall. If we waited for an ambush at this moment, the opponent would definitely change his mind. Defend Jijing Although we can eventually capture Jijing in this way, it will probably take a few more months, and now His Highness can't wait to capture the entire Hebei! - The top priority for us right now The purpose is to capture the capital of Hebei, and don¡¯t create unforeseen complications and scare the people in the capital!"
"I know, I wasn't just talking casually!" Seeing Yudou teaching him a lesson, Zhang Qi felt a little unhappy. He raised his right hand and slapped away Yudou's hand on his shoulder, looking at the distance attentively. Confederate Army. He said with a half-smile, "The first army to evacuate was indeed an infantryman. It seems that His Highness was right. That eldest grandson Xiangyu is indeed a cautious person"
"It doesn't matter!" Yuto flicked his wrist without minding his hand being slapped away. He said in a low voice, "Whether it is cavalry or infantry, if those people in Ji Jing want to leave, we will let them go. We just need to wait and receive Ji Jing His Highness said. There are only two places for those soldiers and horses in Ji Jing to go. , the first is to cross the Yellow River to Puyang, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River to prevent our army from continuing south; the second is to withdraw to Chaoge and reorganize the formation Whether it is Puyang or Chaoge, it is at least half a month away from Hebei Kyoto, half a month , enough for the Liaodong Expeditionary Force to catch up and kill him without leaving a trace! I don¡¯t believe that while being chased, what tricks can Zhang Sun Xiangyu come up with to save the situation?"
It can be seen that Youdou is still a little dissatisfied with Sun Xiangyu, the strategist of King Li Mao of Yan. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and since Li Mao looks down on those who are wise and resourceful, what about the fierce generals under his command? Does Huitai take such wise men as Sun Xiangyu, Li Xian, and Liu Qing seriously?
"Yeah!" After hearing what Youdou said, Zhang Qi nodded heavily and said with a smile. "In that case, all we have to do is watch here"
Yudou nodded and said, "Once all Ji Jing's men and horses have withdrawn from the capital, our army will immediately stationed in the city. As for the pursuit, we will first hand it over to the Liaodong Expeditionary Force. When the two of them fight to the death, we, Yuyang The cavalry rides out again and reaps the benefits!"
"How wonderful! How wonderful!" Zhang Qi chuckled a few times and sincerely praised King Yan Li Mao's strategy in his heart.
But what makes Yudou and Zhang Qi feel troubled. The retreat speed of the Confederate army was so slow, as if there was an abyss at the feet of those people, and they walked extremely carefully, so that Yudou and Zhang Qi were really irritated and wanted to run out and tell each other loudly: You guys Run away quickly, we will never pursue you.
However, for the sake of His Highness's plan, Yudou and Zhang Qi could only suppress their annoyance and wait patiently for the Jijing side's troops to retreat to the south. In order not to "disturb" the other party, Yudou and Zhang Qi even secretly helped , temporarily took over the patrol mission of the cavalry, lest the Liaodong Expeditionary Force would notice the changes in Ji Jing and ruin the good deeds of His Highness Li Mao.
After the Southern Army, the Northern Army Beiwei of Beichi Hou Wenqin evacuated from the city, followed closely by the soldiers of the City Defense Department under Weiwei Temple. On this day, the Jijing side evacuated a total of three armies.
Watching a glimmer of light gradually appearing on the horizon, and the city gates of Ji Jing slowly closing, Youdou and Zhang Qi looked at each other helplessly, because they knew that for the sake of caution, Ji Jing would only evacuate these three people today. One army, as for the rest of the army, most of them will be left until tomorrow.
"But what puzzled Youdou and Zhang Qi was that in the next three days, Ji Jing had no intention of withdrawing his troops, which made them both puzzled.
Could it be that those people in Jijing didn¡¯t actually think about it?The army fled?
But if that¡¯s the case, why do they want to reduce the number of defenders?
Just when Youdou and Zhang Qi were secretly wondering, finally on the fourth day, that is, the night of August 4th, Ji Jingfang repeated his old tricks again.
[Good guy, you are cautious enough! ]
Looking at each other with Youdou, Zhang Qi felt dumbfounded. Although he secretly complained that Ji Jing's troops retreated too slowly, they couldn't tell others clearly, so they could only endure the depression in their hearts and continue to monitor Ji Jing. every move.
Infantry is still infantry!
Those who evacuated from Jijing on August 4 were still infantry, but judging from the flags, it seemed that they were the Jizhou army that had just arrived to aid Jijing not long ago.
[Is it finally coming? ]
Licking their lips, Yudou and Zhang Qi cheered up.
"With all the infantry withdrawn, the only ones left are the cavalry, right?"
"Ah," Youdou nodded and said in a low voice, "The Jijing army has about 30,000 cavalryand these are the only remaining soldiers and horses in the Jijing city!"
"Thirty thousand cavalry" Zhang Qi touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Actually, if we attack Jijing now, Jijing can still be captured"
Hearing this, Youdou shook his head and said sternly, "Your Highness means that this battle must be done safely and not to disturb the soldiers and horses on the Jingjing side. If possible, ask the expeditionary force to fight them to the death and try to reduce the number of troops in our northern border area." Army loss!"
"That's it" Zhang Qi suddenly realized.
But just after that, something happened. For some unknown reason, the only 30,000 or so Jizhou Army cavalry left in the city of Hebei refused to leave the city. As a result, Youdou and Zhang Qi stayed in the woods outside the city for several nights, but to no avail. According to news from surveillance locations at several other city gates, the Jizhou Army's cavalry were clearly still in the city.
[What¡¯s going on? Will the cavalry of the Jizhou Army retreat? ]
Hidden behind the grove, Zhang Qi stared in the direction of Ji Jing angrily. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He said with a strange look, "Hey, Yudou, do you thinkare the cavalrymen of the Jizhou Army afraid to come out?"
"Are you afraid to come out?" Yudou was stunned when he heard this, and then he came to his senses after thinking about it.
Yes, you must know that when the previous infantry groups on the Jijing side withdrew, drums would be beaten loudly in the Jijing city. This was used to cover up the movements of the infantry during their retreat. As the last army to evacuate from the city of Jijing, when the cavalry of the Jizhou Army evacuated from Jijing, no one helped them beat gongs and drums to confuse the audience. What's worse is that the people who were withdrawing before were infantry, and those people only had to take care of themselves, but now the people in Jijing City who were preparing to evacuate were cavalry, and those people not only had to take care of themselves. You also need to take good care of the war horse under your crotch. After all, once the war horse under your crotch makes any noise, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Thinking about it, more than 30,000 war horses were evacuated at the same time. The Liaodong Expeditionary Army was not deaf, so how could they not hear it?
There is no doubt that as long as the Jizhou Army cavalry throws off their horses and runs without knowing their lives. The Liaodong Expeditionary Force, which was only a few miles away from Jijing, noticed it immediately and immediately launched a pursuit battle of horseback riding and slashing.
In other words, when the Jizhou Army¡¯s cavalry officially withdrew from Jijing, it was the Northern Xinjiang Army that would take Jijing without any effort. Moreover, the plan of its master, King Yan Li Mao, to drive away tigers and devour wolves has been successfully implemented.
"No wonder those cavalry dared not leave the city for a long time. It seems that they have also realized that once they leave the city, they will be hunted down by the expeditionary army day after day" A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Qi's face was filled with laughter. It was as if a great revenge had been repaid. After all, Fei Guo, the head coach of the Jizhou Army, had indeed taught him a very profound lesson not long ago.
Things seemed to be as expected by Youdou and Zhang Qi. On the night of August 9th, the Jizhou Army cavalry, which had been lagging behind other armies for several days, could no longer hold back and opened the city gate at night. Under the roar of horse hooves, Amidst the sound, nearly 30,000 Jizhou Army cavalry officially withdrew from Ji Jing and retreated towards the south.
There was no need for Zhang Qi or Youdou to report the news. The foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force had obviously noticed something, and they were so angry that they chased after them.
Seeing the foreign cavalry of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force, which was a big but now dispensable force, chasing after the Jizhou Army cavalry, Youdou and Zhang Qi looked at each other, secretly admiring the brilliant move of their leader, King Yan Li Mao.
Anyway, the grassland has now surrendered. The Liaodong Expeditionary Army, a subordinate army that cannot be lost, is already dispensable. Let¡¯s just ask these people to chase the Jizhou Army and let the dogs bite the dogs!
With all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, Youdou and Zhang Qi returned with some joy.He arrived at the Northern Xinjiang Army Camp and reported to Li Mao the changes in Hebei Capital.
On the next day, August 10th, the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Li Mao of Yan led an army of 50,000 people from northern Xinjiang to formally enter Jijing, announcing that Jijing, the royal capital that had been inherited by the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, had finally fallen into the hands of Li. Mao's hands.
Although it took ten days in total, even the King of Yan Li Mao couldn't help but feel a little proud of being able to capture Ji Jing without a single blow. After all, he was the one who saw through Changsun Xiangyu's plan to hide the truth and avoid unnecessary confrontation with the Jizhou army. Conflict, as for the losses of the Liaodong Expeditionary Force that went to chase the Jizhou Army, that was obviously not within the scope of Li Mao's measurement. Even if all the foreign cavalry were wiped out, Li Mao would not feel the slightest bit distressed.
The so -called one will make all the bones wither!
This is King Li Mao of Yan. Although he values ??martial arts over literature, there is no denying the fact that this person is also a worldly hero.
After capturing Jijing, Li Mao did not rush to send his army south to chase Li Shou, Xie An and others. On the contrary, he held a banquet in Jijing to reward the three armies. It may be that the people from Jizhou left in a hurry, so there was still a large amount of materials in the city that had no time to be destroyed, including a large amount of fine wine.
While imagining the scene of the Liaodong Expeditionary Army fighting with the Jizhou Army, he was drinking heavily to celebrate that his northern border had finally conquered Jijing, the royal capital that represented imperial power. To be honest, King Yan Li Mao was in a very good mood.
However, this good mood only lasted less than two days
On the 12th day of August in the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when King Li Mao of Yan was still hungover from having rewarded his troops for days, he was resting in the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace, a palace that only the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could stay in, when he was alarmed by the sound of hurried footsteps. he.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Le Xu's anxious and incomprehensible expression.
"Your Highness, something serious has happened"
"What?" He pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to make himself more awake. King Yan Li Mao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"All the wells in the city were drugged with laxatives. The soldiers did not check. After drinking, they all vomited and had diarrhea. It even affected the horses. From last night to early this morning, most of the horses suffered from diarrhea and collapse. Already"
"What?" King Yan Li Mao's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he was about to speak when suddenly three generals, Youdou, Zhang Qi, and Cao Da, walked in from outside the palace. They left and said loudly, "Your Highness, those troops who evacuated from Jijing The Southern Army, Northern Army, and Jizhou Army are back again!"
"" Yan Wang Li Mao's expression changed again and again. Without saying a word, he grabbed his clothes, dressed them casually and led everyone up to the tower, and immediately looked out of the city.
Outside the city, I saw the former Jizhou Army guards who were clearly preparing to retreat and flee south, but now they were lined up neatly outside the city, defiantly provoking the guards inside the city.
Offensive and defensive exchanges!
A word suddenly appeared in the mind of King Yan Li Mao. Immediately, he seemed to understand something, and his handsome face was distorted with anger.
