I’m The King Chapter 1002: :Huanghuang Hanwei (126)
Bai Yucheng has been very irritated these days. When he reached the fat of his mouth, because the Chu army inserted a stick horizontally, he was beaten like an egg. , going back to the Liuhaohe side, back to the state before the war. Chu Jun and Tian Fucheng seem to have joined forces, but I don’t know how the higher-ups will react to this new situation? What arrangements will be made? After this, Bai Yucheng decided that it was better for him to hold on to his current battle line. With his current strength, it is really not a good idea to forcefully challenge the coalition forces of Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei.
"Bitch Chu Jun!" Bai Yucheng cursed again, kicked a saddle in the big tent into the air, and landed in a corner with a bang.
"Who is Lord Bai scolding again?" A Qinglang's voice came from outside, and a person immediately lifted the curtain and entered. Seeing the person, Bai Yucheng was overjoyed, "Niu Teng, I finally look forward to you back , come in quickly, and tell me how the king has arranged for this country of Qi?"
Stretched out a hand and dragged a chair, pushed the dusty Niu Teng down on the chair, leaned over to stare into his eyes, and asked eagerly.
"Bai Houye, why did I go back and forth to Jicheng in such a short time? I only went to Kunzhou, where I met Meng Chong, commander-in-chief of the Southern Group Army, and reported the situation here to him, Bai Houye You also know that Commander Meng is mainly in charge of Qi State."
"What did Meng Chong say?"
"Commander Meng speculates that the Chu people are afraid that they will intervene in Qi's civil war on a large scale, that is to say, they will send a large army into Qi. It was a forced countermeasure. Since the people of Chu want to enter Qi on a large scale to grab the fat in our mouths, we naturally can't give them a little face." Niu Teng said.
"What does Meng Chong mean?"
"Commander Meng will lead the Southern Group Army to attack Judu directly. In order to save Tian Fucheng, Qu Wan asked Bianyang to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Linzi, forcing Tian Jingwen to return to the army, but Judu was also empty. It’s too arrogant. The main force is out, and the reinforcements have not arrived. If we don’t take advantage of this big window, wouldn’t we be too sorry for God.”
"The entire southern field army is dispatched?" Bai Yucheng said with a tut.
"If you don't move, you're done. If you move, you will be swept away with the force of thunder." Niu Teng said with a smile: "This is what Commander Meng said. Withdraw across the Liuhao River."
"Huh?" Bai Yucheng frowned, "What's the point?"
"If Master Bai doesn't leave, how can Tian Fucheng have the guts to save Judu?" Niu Teng laughed, "The new first army is already armed, and they are guarding Jimo City. It’s easy to fight, but once they come out, it’s not a piece of cake to deal with them.”
"The Southern Group Army and the new First Army have a total of more than 100,000 people. This time, Qu Wan must have a good drink." Bai Yucheng laughed, "Okay, if that's the case, we will retreat Tang went to rest and recuperate, and then set out for Linzi, I am the Marquis of Gao Tang in Qi State, Linzi is in trouble, I should go to the rescue anyway.”
The two laughed together.
The attack and retreat of the Red Scarf Army seemed so unpredictable. When Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei reacted, most of the Red Scarf Army had already crossed the Liuhao River and left. After understanding, the two let out a sigh of relief at the same time. The fighting power of this Red Turban Army should not be underestimated. They voluntarily retreated, but Jimo was relieved of a big burden.
The peace between the two did not last long. Under the command of Meng Chong, the Southern Group Army of the Han State, tens of thousands of troops broke into the territory of Qi State from Kunzhou in one fell swoop, but the target of their attack was not Jimo, but Chu Judu under military control.
Qu Wan had 40,000 troops under his command, Bianyang took away 30,000, and the remaining 10,000 were stationed in various parts of Judu. All the troops mobilized were concentrated in Jucheng. In Qu Wan's view, 10,000 troops were enough to defend Jucheng.
The army being dispatched from Chu will arrive at the end of October at the latest, and Bianyang's 30,000 troops may return at any time. Tian Jingwen is not a fool. Is there any reason for him not to be a fisherman?
On October 1st, the first troops of the Southern Group Army of the Han Dynasty appeared in front of Jucheng, and the yellow general flag flying high represented that this was the Huang Zhan Division under Zheng Xiaoyang, the first army of the Southern Group Army.
The next day, Division Ding Wei and Division Gu Chao also arrived one after another. In the evening of this day, Zheng Xiaoyang's banner finally appeared under the city of Ju, and 20,000 troops set up three camps outside the city. It seemed that he was not busy with the attack, but actually built a camp outside the city with great fanfare. Seeing the actions of the Han army, Qu Wan couldn't help but deeply frowned.
"What do they want to do? They have no intention of attacking the city, so their goal is not their own." Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Qu Wan couldn't help but shudder. They might be tempting Pyongyang.
Once Pyongyang knew that he was trapped in Jucheng, he would definitely lead his army back to help, lest he would fall into the enemy's trap.
Qu Wan smiled coldly, "If you don't come to attack the city, I will come to tease and tease you. I would like to see how the famous Han army, which claims to have never been defeated, is so powerful!"
The gates of the city were wide open, led by the cavalry, three thousand Chu troops filed out from the city, formed a formation below the city, and marched towards the camp of the Han army not far away with the drums rumbling.
Hearing the scout's report, Huang Zhan couldn't help being overjoyed, "Wonderful, what our Han army is best at is naturally field combat, ahaha, tell the brothers, we are going to make a profit. Beat the drums, blow the horns, all The army is out of camp, ready to face the battle."
The two armies collided without any fanfare. In an instant, the sound of killing resounded throughout the world. Qu Wan stood on the tower, staring coldly at the **** battlefield. Division Huang Zhan, Division Ding Wei and Division Peng Chao are turning to the two wings, and it seems that they want to take the opportunity to attack the city wall.
The fighting power of the Han army is really extraordinary. Seeing that the two sides in the city are equally outnumbered, but their own army has gradually shown a state of exhaustion, Qu Wan couldn't help but secretly sighed.
"Mingjin, retreat!" Qu Wan turned to the orderly soldiers beside him.
Almost at the time when the order to withdraw the troops sounded from the city, the sound of withdrawing troops from the Han army also sounded in the camp of the Han army. She Di retreated back and watched helplessly as the other party retreated into the city, while Ding Wei and Peng Chao on the two wings did not receive orders, so they could only return disconsolately at this time.
After this battle, Qu Wan thought that he had found out the details of the opponent. The Han army would never take the initiative to attack Jucheng. That's all, how could Bianyang be so stupid? Qu Wan turned his head to look in the direction of Jimo. If there is a support army in Jucheng, then Tian Fucheng in Jimo can count on it.
When the Han army entered Qi, the first person to attack was not Tian Fucheng, but himself, which was beyond Qu Wan's expectation. It seems that the generals of the Han army were well aware of the battle to seize Qi. The protagonist is no longer any side of Qi State, but the two armies of Chu and Han. Whoever wins this war will own Qi State.
"Why should I go to save Jucheng, to save Qu Wan?" Tian Fucheng sneered, "Was Qu Wan an alliance with me? That was a naked humiliation to me. At that time, I could do nothing but compromise , but now that I have recovered, and he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, he cannot protect himself, so why should I get angry for him?"
Hearing Tian Fucheng's words, Wang Pei and Cheng Siwei felt a little helpless, "Second son, the Han army is going to attack Jucheng, if we don't go to rescue, once Jucheng is lost, where is the next target of the Han army? It must be Jimo, we have formed an alliance with Qu Wan, and we should help each other in the same boat at this time. Qu Wan's army attacked Linzi, and he couldn't return in a hurry, and the Han army that attacked Jucheng was as many as 50,000. If we don't go to the rescue , the city of Ju is in danger.”
"One prospers all prospers, one loses all ones." Cheng Siwei said: "Second Young Master, please think twice."
Tian Fucheng stared at the two of them angrily for a long while, "Since you both said to rescue them, then go rescue them, Siwei, take your troops down, but you must be careful and save your strength for the sake of your life." Up. With soldiers and generals, we have the foundation to stand on. If we don’t even have this last capital, we will have no place to stand in the future.”
"Don't worry, Second Young Master, I will act according to my own circumstances." Cheng Siwei bowed deeply to the ground, turned around and strode out.
Qu Wan of Jucheng once again guessed the enemy's plan wrongly. He thought that the opponent would not attack Jucheng by force, but from the third day after the arrival of the Han army, the siege began. Another part of the group army also appeared under Jucheng. Even their coach Meng Chong also appeared under Jucheng in a grand manner.
With the arrival of Meng Chong, the intensity of the Han army's attack on Jucheng suddenly increased. Seeing the densely packed siege engines, Qu Wan's scalp felt numb.
He found that he could not keep up with the mental rhythm of the enemy general at all. For a general in command, this is not an optimistic thing. This shows that in the confrontation with the opponent, you cannot see the opportunity , can only see tricks and break tricks, always second-hand, if one is not careful, it will easily ruin the overall situation.
In this battle, what impressed Qu Wan deeply was the sharpness of the long-range attack weapons of the Han army. He had the advantage of the height of the city wall, but the bed crossbow was still not as far and accurate as the opponent, let alone the opponent. That big guy who is mounted on a cart can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows at a time. Every time he sees this guy firing, Qu Wan is shocked. Wherever this kind of crossbow arrows are shot, usually the top of the city will be shot. Empty a large area. (to be continued)
