I’m The King Chapter 976: :Huanghuang Hanwei (100)
The sun was blazing in the sky, and the sun brutally poured down the fire-like temperature, scorching the whole earth to death, and even the flowers and plants under the trees drooped their heads weakly. Among the grass, staring at the enemy's camp by the stream below the mountain with big bull eyes.
Since the Red Turban Army led by Bai Yucheng who occupied Gaotang accepted Linzitian Yuanyuan's recruitment, the war in Gaotang suddenly resumed. Wang Pei's troops continued to attack the area occupied by the Red Scarf Army , trying to recapture Gaotang City and expel the Red Scarf Army. The Qi* team led by Tian Jingwen at the border between Pinglu and Gaotang maintained an ambiguous attitude as expected by Bai Yucheng. Not retreating, although part of Wang Pei's troops were restrained, most of the pressure was actually passed on to Bai Yucheng's Red Scarf Army. Only when Bai Yucheng complained fiercely to Jicheng and even threatened to pull people away Tian Jingwen will command his subordinates to launch some painless attacks to deal with the road situation.
Speaking of it, it is not that Tian Jingwen intends to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but he is really powerless. Most of the elites of Qi are now under Tian Fucheng's command, and Wang Pei is leading one of the main ones. Strength, although Tian Jingwen has received 10,000 prisoners of war released by Han, he is still weak compared to his opponents. Defending the vast border between Gaotang and Pinglu has already made his troops extremely scattered, and his men It is indeed difficult for the newly recruited soldiers and horses to take on important tasks now. Conservation is okay, but aggressiveness is not enough. Tian Jingwen is worried that Wang Pei will attack the Red Turban Army openly, but secretly mobilize soldiers and horses to deal him a heavy blow. Be careful every step of the way. After several trials and tribulations, Wang Pei is more confident to launch a larger-scale attack on Gaotang. Gaotang's Bai Yucheng is under more and more pressure.
Bai Yucheng, who was born as a horse thief, adhered to the combat concept that offense is defense. He was suppressed and beaten by Wang Pei for more than a month. Under the planning of the staff, a counterattack plan was formulated, and the most critical part of it was to capture Tuanfeng County, so that the Red Scarf Army's soldiers could point directly at Tian Fucheng's attack from the flanks. From the old nest, the cavalry set off from Tuanfeng, and within a few days they could threaten Tian Fucheng's base camp, which could force Wang Pei to shrink his troops and guard Jimo from the harassment of the Red Turban Army.
As a general, Wang Pei also knows the importance of Tuanfeng County. He stationed an elite force of 3,000 people here, commanded by the veteran Zhang Shicheng. The defense was impeccable, and the Red Turban Army was not given any damage at all. Take advantage of this opportunity.
Hutou has been here for three days. In order to defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop this time, the main force of the Red Scarf Army and Wang Pei fought fiercely in front of Fengyang. This is the first time in several months that the Red Scarf Army Launched a large-scale active attack on the Qi army. However, no matter how hard the attack was in the direction of Fengyang, this Qi army under the command of Zhang Shicheng stood still and completely ignored the fierce battle that was raging on the other side. The tiger head almost crushed its teeth.
In the daytime, the sun almost roasts people. In order to hide their appearance, they can't make a fire to cook, and they can't walk around at will. They eat the dry food they carry with them. In the woods, waiting for the opportunity to fight, but the opportunity has not yet arrived.
In such a hot weather, replenishing drinking water has become a big problem. The clear water in the ditches at the foot of the mountain is gurgling, but it is out of reach. It's empty.
The days are sad, and the nights are also hard. When night falls, the weather cools down, but countless mosquitoes buzz out from the grass, happily pounce on this rich blood food, and **** one by one until they become fat. Er, over the past few days, Hutou has discovered that the spirit of the soldiers is in a sharp decline. Fortunately, all the veterans are brought out. If they are new soldiers, they don't need to fight at all. Running away in a desperate manner.
Even now, Hutou knows that if things can't be done, this guy named Zhang Shicheng is very experienced, and it seems that there will be no problems in Fengyang. Several teams didn't bother to inquire about the news. He couldn't find any chance to attack.
Take a hard fight, Hutou doesn't think he can break through this strong fortress. Besides, if he can't annihilate this army, even if he defeats it, he won't be able to achieve the goal of this battle.
This made Hutou very angry. Looking at the red spots on his body that were bitten by mosquitoes, Hutou lay on the ground and pulled out the grass in front of him until there was not a single one left.
"Staff Zhao is here." A soldier ran up to Hutou and whispered.
Zhao Yi'an's face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were full of red silk, he sneaked all the way from Fengyang. Seeing Zhao Yi'an, Hutou said angrily: "Officer Zhao, your plan this time is not working, this Zhang Shicheng is not at all Don’t move, he has three thousand troops, and he is in a well-prepared camp, and I have less than two thousand here, so I can’t fight hard.”
Zhao Yian sat down on his buttocks. This experience also gave him a vivid practical lesson. No matter how good the plan is, sometimes he may not be able to walk at his own pace. I figured it out, but it was still a matter of the strength comparison between the enemy and us. Even if the Red Scarf Army came out in full force, it would be impossible to completely defeat Wang Pei on the frontal battlefield. This was the reason why Zhang Shicheng didn't move at all. The army is so powerful that it is possible to defeat Wang Pei, why is he sitting still?
"The hateful thing is that Tian Jingwen didn't launch an offensive at all to attack Wang Pei with our army." Zhao Yi'an was a little depressed, and pulled out a clump of green grass and twisted it into a ball in his hand," Hou Ye was also very annoyed. The two armies attacked at the same time.”
"You didn't tell the other party the secret game we were planning to win the regiment style. Tian Jingwen is as treacherous as a ghost. He must have seen that even if we cooperate with each other, we can't get too many results in this battle, so he didn't bother to move. Let's go!"
"How can we tell him all our cards, and I don't believe that Tian Jingwen's subordinates don't have Tian Fucheng's inner ghost." Zhao Yi'an said angrily.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it now, are you coming here now to tell me that this time is over?" Hutou said.
"Yes!" Zhao Yi'an nodded and said: "The main force has withdrawn from the battle yesterday, I personally asked Lord Hou to come here to inform you, General Tiger Head, I am very sorry this time, I let you suffer for nothing for several days suffering.”
Looking at Zhao Yi'an, the tiger head said, "It's nothing. In fact, if you don't come, I will be preparing to retreat. I can't supply drinking water, and the chances of winning against the enemy are not great. Kill the enemy three times." We don't bother to do things that will cost us eight hundred. Let's retreat and find another chance."
"Now that Gaotang and Pinglu have come to a stalemate, Linzi was able to mobilize the army to support Zou Zhang, making it difficult for Cheng Siwei to achieve results for a while. What Linzi has to buy is time, and now they have reached the most basic goal , as long as we stay together with Tian Fucheng, Tian Fucheng's prospects will be bad, but this will not do us any good." Zhao Yi'an scratched his head, "Your Majesty wants to solve the Qi State issue within this year and next, and we can't open the situation , how can I complete the task on time?"
"How can there be any way? Unless Meng Chong launches an attack from Kunzhou!"
"This is naturally no problem from a military point of view, but the king still has to consider the political issues after taking Qi!" The rebellious Qi State is of no benefit to us, so how many troops will be involved! You know, our next opponent is either Chu State or Qin State, no matter which one is a giant, what the king wants is a A stable and transitional state of Qi that is quickly integrated into the country." Zhao Yi'an said distressedly.
The tiger shrugged his shoulders. He didn't understand these things very well, and he was too lazy to understand. He reached out and grabbed the clothes and armor that were thrown aside, and while putting them on, he said: "In any case, this battle is If you can't fight anymore, let's withdraw!"
Zhao Yian nodded silently.
The two stood up from the grass in silence.
From the bottom of the mountain, there was a loud cheer suddenly, the tiger was stunned, took a few steps forward, and looked down the mountain, it was the Qi army's barracks that cheered, and groups of Qi soldiers rushed out of the barracks They came out, cheered loudly, shouted, and many people rushed directly into the creek not far away, beating each other for fun.
"They also know that we lost in the battle of Fengyang, and they are celebrating!" Zhao Yi'an said angrily. , can't help but jump in my heart.
"Tiger Head General!" he shouted in a low voice.
Hutou suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Yi'an: "Staff Zhao, do you want to do something to make these guys feel sad?"
Zhao Yi'an's eyes lit up all of a sudden, if we talk about timing, this is indeed the best timing, the enemy army is celebrating, so defenses are naturally relaxed.
"But Lord Hou's order is to retreat!" He said hesitantly.
"I will be away, and I should make a temporary decision based on the actual situation. How can there be such a mother-in-law? If everything can go according to the plan, then this battle will be a fart!" Hutou said dismissively." Field, Officer Zhao, you have also been in the field army before, do you have the guts to charge me? Although it is a bit risky, as long as it succeeds, the regiment wind will be ours."
Stimulated by the tiger's head, Zhao Yi'an's hustle and bustle aura that he had cultivated in the field army was suddenly hooked, and he tightly grasped the saber at his waist, "Damn."
What Zhang Shicheng stationed here never expected was that the attack would come suddenly when the Qi army was celebrating the victory of Fengyang on the frontal battlefield. Celebrate outside the camp.
The battle unfolded at a time point that he hadn't expected at all. (To be continued)
