Chapter 569: Break through and go south
569. Break through to the south
Seeing that Fan Duwei was angry, Wang Duwei also pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said directly: "There is more than innocent death."
After that, he said to the beard: "Brother Zhao, today we have to strictly prevent the king and thieves from attacking the city."
"It's okay, anyway, he will evacuate in the middle of the night, no matter how powerful he is, he will still be able to defend the city for a day." The beard was originally surnamed Zhao, and he was also a captain, with 2,000 soldiers, and he was the most elite state ruler.
I saw him wave his hand and say with a big grin.
Wang Duwei also nodded when he saw this, indeed, they have their own soldiers and horses, whether it is Yan Minghong or Wang Wei, they are both people who govern the army well, they govern the army strictly, the military discipline is quite strict, and the training is not slackened at all every day, and the 20,000 army is also the elite government army in a state in this era.
One day was peaceful, in the evening, the sun was setting, and Wang Junkuo outside the city was sitting in a big tent, frowning, looking at the direction of Yixian and a little hesitant.
He besieged the city for nearly ten days without attacking the city or fighting, one is to rest the whole army, his 20,000 troops out of Youzhou one day down to five counties, the team to 50,000, the new recruits are more than the headquarters of the people, not to rectify but not to work.
Another important reason for only besieging and not attacking is that he Wang Junkuo wants to surrender without a fight, if it is a siege, there must be ten times the number of enemies to have a chance of winning, and now Yi County has an army of 20,000, he only has 50,000, and it is definitely not advantageous to forcibly attack the city, he Wang Junkuo does not do this business that hurts others and hurts himself, and the Yi County is tall and strong, and the Yi water is several zhang wide to make a moat, it is simply an iron fortress, and Wang Junkuo, who is familiar with military affairs, knows that the easiest way to capture a strong fortress is to start from the inside, So he has been paying attention to the trends of Yi County.
Originally, they were all going to succeed, and Li Xiaochang was going to surrender the city, but suddenly, he was assassinated by Sima Chen Yuanxuan, and the most important thing that Wang Junkuo's brain couldn't turn around was that Chen Yuanxuan shouldn't be so loyal, looking at the situation of forcing Yan Minghong to death before, Chen Yuanxuan should also be opposed, and the person who advocated Li Xiaochang's opposition was not Chen Yuanxuan, how could Chen Yuanxuan come to such a set in turn.
Wang Junkuo frowned and thought secretly, could it be that Chen Yuanxuan inadvertently forced Yan Minghong to death, knowing that he had won a big crime, and then he was looking for an opportunity to make meritorious service to atone for his crimes, and the credit for this crime seemed to be only a great contribution to countering the rebellion, so Chen Yuanxuan instigated Li Xiaochang to rebel, and killed Li Xiaochang to go to the court to atone for his crimes? Or even a reward for merit?
Wang Junkuo guessed that his brain was not enough, shook his head, went out of the account with his back hand, and looked at the tall Yi County, with his intuition of many years of fighting, he always felt a little bad.
The sun is setting, the night is coming, Wang Junkuo's wolf-like intuition is becoming more and more sensitive, and Fan Duwei doesn't know why, since there is a letter expressing his willingness to vote, there is no more information, and the city's defense is not leaky, and it is impossible to send a message to Fan Duwei in the city, only Fan Duwei himself can pass it out.
After thinking for a while, Wang Junkuo was never a gentle person, and immediately convened the generals and the Chinese army to discuss the matter.
As soon as the generals came in, there was a buzz.
"Generalissimo, when will the city be attacked? We've been here for ten days and a half months, and we're all idle."
"Generalissimo, the purpose of King Yan dragging Li Jing in Youzhou is to wait for us to march all the way, and to go straight to Chang'an, but now we can't go on patrol, why?"
………… Listening to the generals say what you said and what I said, Wang Junkuo's face was gloomy, and he slapped the table, "This handsome man has his own decision." There was silence all of a sudden, and a simple sentence demonstrated Wang Junkuo's authority in the army.
Li Ying does not have a more powerful general than Wang Junkuo, so the generalissimo on the side of the Qing monarch is led by Wang Junkuo, and the rest of the small shrimp dare not have objections.
After seeing that the big tent was quiet, a fine light flashed in Wang Junkuo's eyes, what he wanted was this feeling, the thief was cool!
"Tonight, the patrol guards will be doubled, pay strict attention to Yixian's every move, tomorrow, General Liu, you will lead your troops to feint the east gate. General Wu, you led your headquarters to feint on the West Gate. Remember, it is only a feint, no casualties are allowed, and the commander will lead the army to attack the north gate." Wang Junkuo ordered directly.
The first two generals listened to the order and received the order happily, even if it was a feint, they were not allowed to come to the real thing, but they were also on the battlefield, and only by obeying the arrangement and completing the task was not a meritorious service.
After the military order was issued, Wang Junkuo was not much**, and the meeting was dismissed directly, and after the meal, it was time to rest.
At night in late autumn, there are no birds and cicadas, only the sassy autumn wind, the sound of the wind in the barracks, and only the scolding voices of the patrol soldiers echo in the wind.
And Yi County is not quiet at this time, 20,000 soldiers gathered on the city gate square, obviously, the army that was woken up in their sleep seemed a little overwhelmed, although the square is very large, but it can accommodate 20,000 people, it is also very crowded, it seems a little noisy.
Seeing this, the bearded Zhao Duwei frowned, and shouted: "Shut up, one more word, fifty military sticks." Suddenly, the whole army was suppressed by this bearded man.
"Brother Wang, look, what's the matter, just open the city and break through if you have nothing to do, right?" Luo Zhao said to Wang Duwei.
Wang Duwei frowned, suddenly remembered something, and said straightly: "Wait, Brother Zhao, grain and grass, the army still has tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, it is a big crime for us to lose the city, and we must not leave the grain and grass to the rebels, Brother Zhao, you first straighten out the people and horses, and after a quarter of an hour, no matter what, Kaicheng will break through and go straight to Dingzhou, I will burn the grain and grass." After saying that, he wanted to turn around.
Zhao Huzi grabbed Wang Duwei's sleeve, "You are indispensable to the army, and you have to command you to break through, I'll go." After that, he flicked his sleeves, lit up a team of people and hurried to the granary.
Wang Duwei saw that he stomped his feet, so he had to turn around and go to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and after a quarter of an hour, Wang Duwei's face was very unpleasant, looking at the well-equipped army, and shouted: "Brothers, go."
The south gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and 20,000 troops poured out and went straight to the south, but it was not a rout-style evacuation, the whole army was evacuated in an orderly manner, and those wearing armor and holding troops still had combat power.
After leaving the city, Wang Duwei looked back at the city, only to see the rising smoke and fire, and his eyes flashed with expectation.
Out of the city is a rebel army stationed outside the city gate of a camp, there are 30,000 people, because this is the Yizhou army south must pass through, if the Yizhou army escapes, only from here, so Wang Duwei is impossible with its hard steel, around the village, the rear army of 5,000 people to guard the border will with.
Dazhai outside the city, "Generalissimo, it's not good, Yixian County is on fire, and countless soldiers and horses are coming out of the city." A guard came to report in a hurry.
