Turbulent Times Chapter 1436: The powerful Li Jing
I have declared my surname to be Dugu. No one in the world knows that Dugu is powerful. Now that the people have lost their hearts, their Dugu family is the most noble blood in the world. This **** **** is still so rude. What a ghost! up.
In Dugu Changming's mind, as long as he reported his family, the rude man in front of him should kneel down and kowtow in surprise, but the other party's reaction was obviously too different from his expectations, which made him feel a huge sense of loss .
"Are you being rude to this old man?" Dong Boming sneered and said, "Do you know that this old man is from Dugu's family..."
Xiong Kuohai laughed loudly, slammed the table, and cursed: "I don't care what your surname is, what kind of thing are you, dare to come here to make noise, believe it or not, I will chop you up and feed it to the dog !”
When Zhang Shitou behind him heard this, he drew his saber out of its sheath with a slap, and his eyes widened. The two people behind Dugu Changming immediately took a step forward, blocking Dugu Changming, and shouted: "Okay How dare you, you dare to be so rude!"
Xiong Kuohai sneered again and again, turned around, pulled Zhang Shitou's arm in a daze, put his knife back into the scabbard, walked slowly to the side, crossed Erlang's legs, sat on the chair, and said : "Dugu Changming, right! You said that if I kill you today, the Dugu family will send a large army to destroy me? Or will they continue to send one over to talk to me?"
Dugu Changsu couldn't help but his expression changed. He knew that if he was really killed by the other party, with the patriarch's mercenary virtue, his death might really be for nothing. The main thing is that it has already occupied more than half of Hanoi County, and the position of Hanoi County is extremely critical. It is a bridgehead to prevent Wang Junlin from expanding his power to the Central Plains, and it is a strategic point that Wang Junlin must win when he sends troops to the Central Plains.
As for the capture of Hanoi County occupied by Xiong Kuo Hai, even with the combat power of their powerful coalition forces, it is conservatively estimated that it will take at least half a month, and the number of losses will not be less than four to five thousand. In this case, if he dies, Dugu Changming, as long as Xiong Kuohai surrenders to Wang Junlin, not only will he die worthless, but he will also annoy the Patriarch.
Although Dugu Changming was extremely ashamed and angry, he had no choice but to hold back his breath and swallowed the incomparable resentment into his stomach after a lot of thoughts in his mind. Twenty-one, if you cut yourself off with one knife, that would be a real injustice!
What's more, I came here with the Patriarch's order to recruit this majestic Kuohai.
"Okay, General Xiong, I'm here today to discuss something important with you, not to quarrel with you." Dugu Changming said at this time with a gentle expression on his face.
Xiong Kuohai picked up the jug on the table, took a deep breath, put the jug down heavily, and said in a low voice: "Your Dugu family is a high-ranking person. I don't know how to find someone like Lao Tzu." Is there anything you can discuss with Mudleg?"
Dugu Changming pretended not to hear Xiong Kuohai's sarcasm, and said to himself: "General Xiong has always wanted to be the leader of the bandit, but now I have brought General Xiong a straight path to Qingyun."
"The road above the Qingyun?" Xiong Kuohai smiled and said: "I only want to live a good life, but I have never thought about the road above the Qingyun."
"General Xiong is wrong. Besides, wouldn't the general think about it for the 20,000 men under his command and find a way for them to survive?"
"
Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. I know that your Dugu family is powerful, and I don't have enough food and grass. I'm at a loss as to where to go. Tell me, what are the benefits of taking refuge in you? "Xiong Kuohai seemed a little tempted by Dugu Changming's words.
Dugu Changming's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. In his opinion, Xiong Kuohai had already been persuaded by him, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "General Xiong, the change of dynasty in the world has become inevitable. My Dugu family has inherited it for thousands of years. The one who supports us has always been the Lord of True Dragons, as long as General Xiong joins us, he will be a hero in the founding of the country in the future."
Xiong Kuohai was amused in his heart, and finally there was emotion in his eyes, but he pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "It's just that the 20,000 of us don't have any good weapons and equipment, and we lack food and grass. This place is very close to Luoyang, and the officers and soldiers of the court have been mobilizing a large army to take back Hanoi County, but we don’t know how long we can hold on.”
Dugu Changming hurriedly said: "As long as the general agrees to take orders from my Dugu family, our Dugu family will provide the weapons, equipment and food that the army needs, and even part of the military salary can be paid by the general."
Xiong Kuohai sniffled his nose, and after pretending to hesitate, he reluctantly said: "It's okay to surrender to you, but you can't take away my military power."
"General Xiong can rest assured, no one under the general's command will get involved, and will always obey General Xiong." Hearing that Xiong Kuohai finally agreed positively, Dugu Changming was ecstatic, thinking about his great achievements Already in hand, he said: "I knew that General Xiong is a sensible person who will not ignore his brothers, let's just agree, I have an agreement here, as long as the general signs it, I will send the general a dozen replacement generals later." The civil servants who take care of things will of course send weapons, equipment and food to the general, and the general only needs to take down the entire Hanoi County within six months and hold it firmly."
"As long as your Dugu family has enough weapons and food, I can turn the entire Hanoi County into my territory and hold it firmly!" Xiong Kuohai said, but he laughed in his heart. The prince's confession was unexpected. So easily achieved.
…
…
Dugu Changming left happily. Recently, the allied forces of powerful clans mobilized more than 100,000 people to fight Wang Junlin's Far East Army in Boling County. If it is done, Wang Junlin can be severely injured, and Wang Junlin's arrogant arrogance can also be suppressed.
Standing at the top of the city, watching the back of Dugu Changming leaving the city, Zhang Shitou looked at Xiong Kuohai with some hesitation, and said, "General, do we really want to join the Dugu family and fight for them?"
Xiong Kuohai took a sip, and said: "Idiots will go, these big nobles, big clans don't have a good thing." Zhang Shitou also nodded repeatedly, "That's right, if they don't come to mess with us, we won't either. Beat them, regardless of whether he is an officer, soldier, or a powerful man, let's farm and harvest food, and we will not help each other!"
Xiong Kuohai laughed heartily, Zhang Shitou thought naively, and didn't even think about it. Only a character like Wang Ye can make Lao Tzu bow his head and obey his orders. In the future, these sites will naturally be handed over to the prince, and now he has one purpose, to infiltrate into the allied forces of the clan, to give the opponent a fatal blow in the decisive battle between the prince and the Taiyuan Li family supported by the clan in the future.
…
…
Dugu Changming returns happily
When I arrived in Taiyuan, I met Dugu Changsu, Li Yuan and the others. Naturally, I bragged about how eloquent I was, and persuaded Xiong Kuohai, a bumpkin who had never seen the world, to agree to their request.
As long as they give the opponent some weapons and food, the opponent can lay down and defend Hanoi County for them.
In the next few days, the Dugu family quickly used some secret channels to send weapons, equipment, food, and even some money to Xiongkuohai, and sent a dozen civil servants along the way.
Xiong Kuo Hai also cooperated very well and started to attack the other two county towns in Hanoi County, as well as the county towns that were still in the hands of the imperial court.
……
……
Under the city of Boling County, sharp arrowheads pierced through the bones, the sound of killing soared, and corpses were scattered all over the field...
The wide and wet moat was filled with corpses, neither rich nor cheap, all dead bones... In the cold wind blowing towards the face, there was still a burst of blood, which showed the tragic fighting between the two armies during the day.
Yuchi Jingde, General of the Tiger Camp of the Far Eastern Army, and Wang Bodang, General of the Xiongwu Camp, who commanded the attacking army, never imagined that the defense of the city of Boling County would be so strong and unshakable that their explosives could not destroy the opponent's city wall. Not to mention bombing, there are murder traps everywhere.
At this time, Yuchi Jingde realized that when Li Jing led his troops to fight him in the field, he clearly took the opportunity to make a lot of preparations inside and outside the city of Boling County.
After the five-day battle, the Xiongwu Battalion and the Tiger Battalion each lost nearly 2,000 troops. This was an unprecedented loss for the Far Eastern Army's previous siege, and it also took a certain blow to the morale of the army. The losses of the defenders in the city are naturally much less than theirs.
Whether it is Yuchi Jingde or Wang Bodang, they have fought on the battlefield for many years and have extremely rich experience in siege. After five days, they realized that the defenders had turned the city into a **** of death.
You must know how sharp the siege equipment of the Far Eastern Army is, and the preparations are extremely complete. But they always have a feeling that they can't make full use of their strengths. Every time, when they want to adopt a certain siege tactic, the city always seems to be able to prepare the corresponding countermeasures one step in advance, making it impossible for them to use it.
They are on the offensive side, but every time they make a move, the opponent always seems to be able to find his weakness first and counter it first. This huge war machine is driven in front of a clever opponent, which makes him unable to do what he wants. A sledgehammer weighing a hundred catties can undoubtedly smash the boulder in front of me, even if it can't smash it at once, it can cut it into pieces piece by piece, but the one who lifted the heavy hammer is a child, Man said that it would be good to smash it without hurting his own feet.
In addition, more than 60,000 people have been gathered successively to Boling County for reinforcements from the clan. These people were also dispatched by Li Jing in the city in some way, as if they were playing a big game of chess.
So much so that Yuchi Jingde and Wang Bodang felt that Boling County was clearly guarding and they were attacking, but they felt that they were surrounded by enemies.
If this battle is won, all the losses can be compensated tenfold or a hundredfold, but when they take the city of Boling County with heavy losses, the loss outweighs the gain. Echo the battlefield concept that Wang Junlin has always instilled in them.
However, they did not expect that the development of the subsequent battle situation was far beyond their imagination.
