Huaipu City is the northernmost city among the three major cities in Huaiyin Prefecture. Here, Li Chi arranged for a garrison of 15,000 people to garrison. Among them, there are 8,000 regular soldiers and more than 7,000 new soldiers. These soldiers were urgently transferred from the rear by Li Chi.
"General, the Yanzhou Army sent an urgent military order, saying that the Qi Army in the eastern part of Yuzhou began to withdraw eastward after the Yanzhou Army advanced eastward, and that the Qi Army showed signs of abandoning Quyang City. Therefore, the Yanzhou Army asked us to send troops Block it, separate the Qi army and Murong Cheng in the west of Quyang City, and encircle and destroy them."
"Huh? The Qi army in Yuzhou actually gave up? Didn't fight the Yanzhou army? How is that possible?" Wei Gang, the defender of Huaipu City, frowned and muttered to himself, very puzzled.
Wei Gang is naturally aware of Li Chi's plan. It is hoped that after Murong Cheng found out that he could not go south, he would return to Yuzhou and fight decisively with the Yanzhou army occupying Yuzhou. After all, the Yanzhou Army not only occupied half of Yuzhou, but also betrayed the Qi Army. Logically speaking, Murong Cheng should return to the army.
However, now that Murong Cheng not only did not return to the army, but instead transferred the army from Quyang City to Huaiyin City and launched a strong attack on Huaiyin City, Wei Gang was a little confused. But at this moment, the Qi army in Yuzhou retreated directly when faced with the Yanzhou army's attack, and even Quyang City had to give up, which really made him feel at a loss.
"Send someone to Quyang City to inquire about the news and see if the situation is true." Wei Gang ordered in a deep voice. Quyang City is more than two hundred miles away from him. If the news from the Yanzhou Army is wrong, then ¡
"General, don't we care about the Qi army's withdrawal? Soldiers need speed. If the situation is true, it will delay the military situation." General Pi said in a deep voice.
Wei Gang's face turned cold and he said sternly: "Delay the military situation? Do you really think that we and the Yanzhou Army are allies who can work together? What if this news is false? Even if it is true, there are more than 20,000 Qi troops in Quyang City. Including the Qi army that evacuated from Yuzhou, how many will there be in total? If the Qi army does not want to evacuate Quyang City, but insists on holding on to Quyang City, what will be the result if we lead the army? We are planning to fight to the death with the Qi army. We will take action after we find out the exact information."
General Pi said with a troubled face: "General, the Yanzhou Army's messenger is still here waiting for a reply. How should we respond?"
Wei Gang frowned and said coldly: "You can just find an excuse. Do you want me to teach you this?"
After a while, General Pi came back again and said to Wei Gang with a stiff face: "General, the Yanzhou Army messenger left. Before leaving, he was very dissatisfied with us. He also said that since we do not send out the army, then Quyang City and the others will Accepted."
Wei Gang became agitated and said, "Okay, don't worry. It's very likely that the Yanzhou Army provoked you. Let our scouts step up the investigation." After a pause, he said, "In addition, we will mobilize eight thousand soldiers to do this." Ready for action.¡±
"Lord, our people are back. As expected, the defenders of Huaipu City ignored the messengers we sent. They didn't pay attention to our news at all." Wei Dong said with a smile.
Zhao Xun said quietly: "Isn't this great? We gave them a hint, but they ignored it. In this case, it is reasonable for us to occupy Quyang City to pursue the Qi army. Wei Dong, let the army speed up towards Quyang Let's go to the city and let the spies from Huaipu City take a look. We are also very interested in Quyang City. By the way, have our forward troops escorted a batch of food into Quyang City? How are the preparations for the withdrawal of the Qi army? "
Wei Dong said in a deep voice: "Quyang City originally had 20,000 Qi troops, but now most of them have evacuated and rushed to join Murong Cheng. As far as we know, it is estimated that the offensive and defensive battle of Huaiyin City has reached a critical juncture, and Murong Cheng is preparing to break through." After entering the city, we immediately went south. We have stationed five thousand soldiers in Quyang City and can change the banner of Yanzhou Army at any time. "
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Very good, give them the food and let them prepare to leave. From now on, this Quyang City will belong to our Yanzhou Army. At this time, they should leave, and the spies from Huaipu City should also be there." What was gained.¡±
"In addition, let Xu Qing's troops in the north of Huaipu City, who have just arrived from Yanzhou to support the southern front, prepare for action. They must wait until the defenders of Huaipu City leave the city before starting action. As long as Huaipu City is captured, the Huaiyin Mansion will basically It¡¯s ours.¡±
Tan Ma¡¯s detection information was very fast. Two days later, Wei Gang, the guard of Huaipu City, got the information about eastern Yuzhou, Quyang City and other places. This news made Wei Gang¡¯s expression change drastically.
"General, I'm going to investigate. The eastern part of Yuzhou has been occupied by the Yanzhou Army. They are now implementing the New Deal and taking over the local military administration. The Qi Army has confiscated the food wherever it went and began to transport it to Murong Cheng."
?"In Quyang City, half of the Qi army and the escorted grain and grass left, and went to Huaiyin City to join Murong Cheng's troops. The rest of the tribe also started yesterday to gather their things and prepare to leave the city. In other words, the Qi troops in Quyang City The army is preparing to abandon Quyang City and meet up with Murong Cheng there immediately," Lieutenant General Bai Feng reported with a solemn expression.
Wei Gang's face was extremely ugly. Two days ago, the Yanzhou Army came to report, but he ignored it and didn't believe it at all. He even bluntly said in front of the generals that this was a trick by the other party. But now, as the Yanzhou Army's messenger said, the situation was not good, and he would lose face in front of the generals.
As the deputy general of Huaipu City, Bai Feng naturally knew some of his lord's arrangements. He could only use them, but not trust them, for the Yanzhou Army. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Wei Gang's performance two days ago. However, things are now more serious than expected.
Bai Feng continued: "General, what's more serious is that we have found out that the Yanzhou Army has eliminated 10,000 troops and has begun to march towards Quyang City. My subordinates speculate that the Yanzhou Army is fighting with the Qi Army, and the Qi Army is trying to escape from Quyang City. They will get the news before us. If they take the lead in Quyang City, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. "
Wei Gang understood what Bai Feng meant. If the Yanzhou Army occupied Quyang City, they would definitely not give it up. The Yanzhou Army will also tell Li Chi that it is not the Yanzhou Army that deliberately wants to capture Quyang City, but that your Xuzhou Army does not want to take over. At that time, the Huaipu City defenders, who were closest to Quyang City and had received a notification from the Yanzhou Army but were rejected, would be held responsible. By then, both Wei Gang and Bai Feng and other lieutenants will have to face Li Chi's wrath.
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Wei Gang asked gloomily.
"General, the top priority is to send troops south immediately and arrive at Quyang City before the Yanzhou Army enters Quyang County, so that the Yanzhou Army can return without success. As long as Quyang City is still in our hands, the Yanzhou Army will not come easily. Attack. Even if we really want to attack, what should we fear from a mere 10,000 troops?" Bai Feng said bluntly.
"In this way, I will personally lead 8,000 troops to Quyang City and let the Yanzhou Army retreat. Even if the Qi Army does not leave, I can use the excuse of attacking the Qi Army in Quyang City to join the Yanzhou Army and act together. When the Qi army leaves, we will take over Quyang City openly. If the Qi army cannot defend, we will naturally act together with the Yanzhou army. In this way, we can not only take care of the gains and losses of Quyang City, but also allow the Yanzhou army to join us. Let¡¯s attack the Qi army together,¡± Wei Gang said in a deep voice.
Then Wei Gang told his deputy Bai Feng: "Bai Feng, this Huaipu City will be handed over to you. Although there are not many defenders here, the Qi army is currently in Huaiyin City in the southeast, so it does not pose any threat to us. Therefore, leaving you with more than 6,000 new soldiers should not cause any big problems. If anything happens, please send someone to notify me immediately. If we can recapture Quyang City this time, it will be a great achievement for you and me."
"The general understands, the general can rest assured, the general will ensure that Quyang City is not lost."
Soon, Wei Gang led the eight thousand defenders away and headed straight to Quyang City in the south. Of course, it would take at least four days for these eight thousand infantry to reach Quyang City with fighting strength.
However, after Wei Gang led his army to leave the city, several homing pigeons took off from Quyang City and headed northwest.
Two days later, Huaipu City ushered in a Yanzhou Army. This Yanzhou army came from Yanzhou, detoured from the north of Huaiyin Mansion in Xuzhou, and appeared in the north of Huaipu City.
"Who are they? Why are they here? What is the other party's rhetoric?" Bai Feng, the current lord of Huaipu City, frowned and asked his soldiers.
"Reporting back to the general, the other party is Xu Qing's unit of the Yanzhou Army who helped us stay in Qi Army last time. Now, they are ordered to return to Yuzhou to participate in the Battle of Yuzhou. Because Xu Qing's unit passed through Huaiyin Prefecture last time, so This time we chose this shortcut to pass through our jurisdiction.¡±
"Huh? Is it for Quyang City? It's not impossible. Nowadays, there are less than ten thousand Qi troops stationed in Quyang City, there are ten thousand Yanzhou troops chasing from Yuzhou, and there are tens of thousands more going south from here. It is not impossible for 20,000 people to besiege the weak Quyang City. Damn it! The Yanzhou Army really intends to seize our Quyang City." Bai Feng thought to himself, "Quyang City is our strategic location in the southwest of Xuzhou to defend Yuzhou. It is also the outpost during the attack. It is not impossible for the Yanzhou Army to capture Yuzhou. "
"No, if we want to find a way to delay them here, we can't let the Yanzhou Army outside Quyang City be too strong." In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Bai Feng's mind.
"Come here, please invite General Xu Qing from the north of the city to enter the city!" Bai Feng decided to keep Xu Qing's troops here first and wait for the situation in Quyang City to have a clear result. In other words, we have to wait until Wei Gang reports back to Quyang City.
Xu Qing naturally agreed to Bai Feng's invitation. After all, he had to pass through the other party's territory. However, after Xu Qing entered the city, he asked Bai Feng to resign many times, and when he wanted to speed up the march to the southeastern part of Yuzhou and the junction of Huaiyin Mansion to stop the Qi army, Bai Feng kept the topic aside and did not reply directly.
Seeing that Xu Qing was so eager to lead the army south, Bai Feng naturally became more worried that Xu Qing's troops were participating in the war in Quyang City. Therefore, on the pretext of preparing to go south to join the war with the Yanzhou Army, Xu Qing's troops were asked to stay temporarily until Huaipu City was ready, and then the two armies could go south together with the army.
Seeing Bai Feng like this, Xu Qingzhi reluctantly agreed. Therefore, he ordered the army to be stationed outside the city, and he entered the city with two thousand personal guards to wait.
"Immediately ask the Beicheng garrison to strengthen their vigilance and be careful of the Yanzhou Army outside the city." Back at the General's Mansion, Bai Feng ordered in a deep voice.
"General, what are the arrangements now? Although we can allow Xu Qing's troops to stay overnight, they will eventually lead the army to leave tomorrow. Half of our troops have already gone south to Quyang City, why can't we send more troops south."
Bai Feng frowned and said: "It doesn't matter, we let them leave tomorrow, which has delayed General Wei Gang for half a day. Adding the previous day and a half, the total is two days. Two days is enough for Wei Gang The general made his decision in Quyang City."
"In addition, send people to monitor Xu Qing and his men in the city. There are two thousand people in the city. If something happens, it will have a very bad impact. In addition, immediately pass the news to the general that Xu Qing's troops are about to go south, so that the general can have a Prepare."
As night falls, the people in the city gradually take a rest. But the first section of the Yanzhou Army that entered Huaipu City was still busy secretly.
"General, the internal personnel arranged earlier in the city have been summoned. A total of more than 500 people are now preparing in the west of the city. In addition, the main army has also been prepared. Except for some who are stationed in the north of the city under the guise of military camps, the rest are For three, they lurked towards the other three gates, and in the west of the city, four thousand sergeants were arranged, including two thousand cavalry."
Xu Qing nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, well done. Order the scouts to start killing the people watching us around, and let everyone prepare for the whole army to attack the general's mansion."
"Send an order to the people in the city to raid the west gate and capture the west city as quickly as possible. The defenders in the city only have more than 6,000 new soldiers. This time we must capture the city in one fell swoop. Action!" Xu Qing ordered sternly.
Xu Qing and his two thousand soldiers were arranged in the Xuzhou Army barracks in the city. Originally this was the military camp of the Huaipu City defenders. However, the departure of the eight thousand soldiers suddenly vacated the military camp, so it was arranged here. However, there are still two thousand Huaipu City garrison soldiers stationed around the military camp.
In the middle of the night, Xu Qing's headquarters suddenly lit up with lights. Countless soldiers rushed out of the barracks and went straight to the general's mansion in the city. All the soldiers on guard along the way were killed.
The soldiers who were in the same military camp as Xu Qing, less than a kilometer away from each other, were suddenly frightened by the shouts of killing in the middle of the night and almost exploded the camp. In an instant, two thousand Huaipu City garrison soldiers rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes.
"What's going on?" Wang Qi, the defender who was arranged by Bai Feng to monitor the Yanzhou Army around Xu Qing's camp, was awakened by the rioting soldiers.
"GeneralGeneral, something bad has happened. The Yanzhou Army has begun to attack us!"
"What? Yanzhou Army?" Wang Qi was startled, then he woke up and shouted sternly: "When they come, gather your soldiers immediately and prepare to suppress them. Damn Xu Qing, he dares to cause trouble in our city."
"Immediately send a message to the general, saying that Xu Qing's troops in the city are attacking us, and asking the general to be careful of the Yanzhou Army in the north of the city."
In fact, there was no need for Wang Qi to send a message, Xu Qing's troops charged very quickly and directly attacked the general's mansion. The patrol soldiers' summons and shouts of killing had already informed Bai Feng, who had strengthened his defense.
"Damn itdamn it!" Bai Feng roared. Although he was wary of Xu Qing, he never expected that the other party would dare to cause trouble in the city.
"Whoever comes, please immediately send an order to Beimen and ask them to inform the Yanzhou Army in Beicheng."
"Immediately send an order to the soldiers of each battalion in the city and ask them to immediately clear out the Yanzhou Army in the city."
"Immediately recruit the young men in the city and prepare them to participate in the defense of the city."
"Damn it, this Yanzhou Army actually wants to attack our Huaipu City."
"ReportThe Yanzhou Army is less than 500 meters away from the General's Mansion."
"General, there are not enough defenders in the general's mansion. Let's evacuate to the camp in the south of the city. When we gather the soldiers in the city, we will be able to annihilate these Yanzhou troops in one fell swoop." Huang Feng, the general, said urgently.
"Why are you panicking? How many Yanzhou troops are there in the city? There are only two thousand people. How many do we have? Strengthen our defenses immediately and wait for everyone toThe Lu soldiers came to cover them up. This general does not believe that they can withstand the siege of our army from all sides. "Bai Feng roared sternly.
Indeed, without the cooperation of the internal response in Xicheng, if a large force of Yanzhou Army invaded, I am afraid that the two thousand Yanzhou Army in the city would not be able to hold on for long.
Xu Qing led two thousand soldiers to the general's mansion, but the Yanzhou Army was also pursued by nearly two thousand people. As time went by, and with the notification from the defenders, more and more Xuzhou troops were in the city. More importantly, the defenders had the advantage of geographical location and weapons and equipment. Some powerful weapons and equipment were used by the defenders.
¡°Damn it, General, it seems that the city¡¯s defender is actually on guard against us. Otherwise, why would this crossbow machine and small catapult appear here?¡±
"It doesn't matter. As long as the brothers outside the city attack, the enemies in the city won't be a problem." Xu Qing said softly.
With the passage of time, the General's Mansion received the assistance of the guards in the city, causing the Yanzhou Army to be suppressed in several streets in front of the General's Mansion, and there were more and more defenders in the city.
"You dare to attack my Huaipu City, and you will live or die. Send the order, and the whole army will attack fiercely, no matter life or death!" Seeing that more and more of our own soldiers gathered around the general's mansion, Bai Feng's face looked a little better.
"Are the enemy forces outside the city attacked by Kais?"
"Reporting to the general, the Yanzhou Army in the north of the city made a brief move and did not attack the city with all its strength."
"No, it is impossible for the Yanzhou Army to only allow 2,000 people in the city to move. Besides, the general of the Yanzhou Army is also in the city. How is it possible" Bai Feng was puzzled, and then he saw many soldiers around him guarding the four gates. The defender's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Except for the North Gate, where are the other three gates? Are there any Yanzhou troops showing up?"
"This" Huang Feng, the general, was startled. Outside the four gates, the Yanzhou Army was mainly in the north. Therefore, the North City Gate had the largest number of defenders and was the most heavily defended. As for the rest, naturally
"Report Something bad has happened General, the west city gate has been broken down, and the Yanzhou Army has entered!" Right here, a small colonel covered in blood rushed in from outside the general's mansion and reported urgently.
"It's over they were taken advantage of by the Yanzhou Army. They attacked the general's mansion to attract our troops from all over the country to gather here so that they could attack the city. It's over"
Immediately, a rumbling sound came from Xicheng.
"Cavalry" Bai Feng groaned weakly. At this moment, he knew that Huaipu City could not be defended. The Yanzhou Army had more than 10,000 soldiers, while Huaipu City only had 6,000 new soldiers - Didn't finish reading?
