I actually came to Gwangjong!

This result is both unexpected and reasonable.

At this moment, not only Jin Xuangong was a little obviously stunned, but even the soldiers around him showed a bit of indescribable embarrassment on their faces. They may not know the details of the big city in front of them, but the basic facts are to admit that if the big city a few miles away is the target of their trip, they should hurry up and return after eating while the rations of the army are not exhausted.

Although the morale of the various units of the Wang Division is high, it does not mean that they completely ignore the facts. The city on the opposite side is several miles wide from the front alone, and the city is more than two feet high, even if it is just an empty city, it is not easy for their 600 soldiers to climb up the city. Not to mention that under the light of the fire at the head of the city, there is no shortage of soldiers patrolling back and forth at the head of the city.

"This city should be Guangzong, not the Shangbai we are going to attack!"

After being silent for a while, Jin Xuangong also had to confide the truth, and he really couldn't hide it. Nozawa got lost, and headless flies crashed into Guangzong Castle, which was located behind Kamibai.

Of course, there is no need to mind the soldiers knowing the details at the moment, the most terrible thing about the loss of the march is the blow and shaking of the army's morale due to the loss of the prescribed position, but now that you know where you are now, it is no longer difficult to adjust the direction.

Of course, this is the case, but the truth is not. After all, they are in the heart of Hebei, neither the boundless wilderness of Saibei, nor the complex and sparsely populated situation of eastern Liaodong.

A big city like Guangzong, its city defense guard system has a complete set of matching, not just the tall city that can be seen in the eyes, if the defense is tighter, it is not an exaggeration to poke out of the city for miles or even ten miles.

In other words, according to the distance they were now approaching Guangzong City, there might already be scout eyes and ears arranged outside the city by the guards of Guangzong City, and their whereabouts could be revealed at any time.

"Leave ten people here to watch, and the rest will go back the way they came!"

Jin Xuangong is bold, but he will not be so bored that he knows that he is invincible and wants to die, it is obvious that the Guangzong City in front of him is not the target they can attack, and it is the most correct way to temporarily retreat to a safe realm while his whereabouts have not yet been revealed.

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were really worried that the new lord of the building was young and vigorous and made some unreasonable decisions. Although there were still soldiers on the way to retreat, they couldn't help but think, "Such a big city, if we can capture it, I am afraid that at least six or seven turns."

When the people around heard this, many of them couldn't help but laugh, and the tension and panic of finding the wrong target were alleviated for a while. Jin Xuangong walked in the army, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even these ordinary soldiers have such a bold composure, and the spirit of the king master who is permeated up and down as a whole is really unsurpassed in the world.

After the group retreated for several miles, they naturally left scouts along the way to monitor the movement. After retreating to a desolate valley in Nozawa, the sky was gradually dawning, and there was no need to make a fire to illuminate it, so Kim Xuangong spread out the map he had with him and began to look for directions.

With the indication of such an eye-catching landmark as Gwangjong Castle, it is much easier to find the place where Shangbai is. Shangbai is a county under Guangzong County, only within one or two dozen miles of Guangzong City, and after determining a few approximate directions, Jin Xuangong sent a few soldiers to carefully disperse and start searching.

Inadvertently approaching Gwangjong Castle, the results have pros and cons, the good thing is that the location is determined, and the real target search can also be targeted. On the one hand, the bad side is that the soldiers can see with their own eyes that there is such a well-defended and powerful enemy city outside of their target, which is not a small suppression of morale.

At this time, a battalion leader came to Jin Xuangong's side and asked in a low voice how to deal with the threat from Guangzong City in the future battle?

They are not cowardly, after all, they dare to attack the enemy from afar with an indistinguishable piece of information, and they are ready to sacrifice, and they are only worried that death will be worthless. You must know that even if they can successfully capture Shangbai in the future, once the Guangzong City army makes a counterattack and rescue, with their current strength, it will be difficult to maintain a hold for a long time.

Jin Xuangong did not think about this question, and when the commander of his subordinates asked, he patiently explained the difference between the Guangzong beggar army and the current white army.

The structure of the army itself does not have the stability of the hierarchy of the upper and lower divisions and the independence of the general, and the relationship between different banners and different units is far from being intimate.

The Special Beggars themselves are a special existence in the Karma Army system, and as long as they do not excessively infringe on their own interests, it is unlikely that they will send troops to support the Upper Karma Army.

When several commanders heard this, they were quite curious for a while, they were accustomed to the situation of strict military orders of the Wang Division, and they naturally had disdain for the style of the army to fight separately, and even suspected that the internal friction was so serious, how could they still rule Hebei for so many years?

It can be seen that people are forgetful, putting aside the current structure of Wang Shi, a few decades ago, how much better was the control of the Jiangdong Imperial Court over the towns than the Qianguo? Not to mention, if it weren't for General Shen's return to the country across the river and his efforts to turn the tide, and then the establishment of the Luoyang Xingtai Hegemony Mansion, the collapse of the situation in the south would have been much better than that of the Qianguo.

But today, the forces of the two sides are different, and the soldiers of the royal division naturally have the qualifications to make fun of the state of Qian to bring about their own destruction.

However, having said that, whether the beggar army in Guangzong City would interfere with Shangbai's military operations, in fact, Jin Xuangong is not sure.

The unique position of the beggar army in the system of the army also made Wang Shi have a blind spot in his understanding. The confrontation between the north and the south has been going on for many years, especially with the great use of the northern affairs this year, and the other units of the army have fought with the Wang division, so it is inevitable that some commanders and generals of different levels will be captured, revealing all kinds of internal affairs of the various units of the army.

However, the begging army did not appear on the battlefield of the head-on battle with Wang Shi from beginning to end, which also caused Wang Shi to be completely unfamiliar with the begging military situation and the internal human state, even if there were some inferences and speculations, there was only side confirmation and no direct evidence.

For example, in the Central Plains War many years ago, Guangzong was once under the rule of Shikan of the Qiang Kingdom, but the beggar army sat back and watched Shikan lose and did not save him. For example, last year, Shen Yunsuo led the Fenwu army to Guangzong City, and Guangzong only closed the city to defend himself, and refused to accept the prince Shi Xuan who fled across the border, and even sat back and watched the Fenwu army directly attack Xiangguo and wreak havoc without rescue.

As for Jin Xuangong, he has more understanding of the begging army, in the early years, Li Nong, the current representative of the begging army, appeared on the battlefield of Liaobian, although Jin Xuangong did not directly fight with it, but also heard other generals in the tribe talk about Li Nong's begging army as an army of its own, whether it is stationed in the camp or advancing and retreating, it is not mixed with other armies of the country.

But this does not determine that the begging army can also protect itself and watch from the wall in the current situation, after all, the army of the Wang division has arrived in the realm, and the begging army of Shi Min's department and Guangzong are already cold, and through the confession of the generals on all sides, the general Shi Min actually has a begging background, although it is already very weak, but it cannot be sure that the begging army is still dead to Shi Min.

After all, the reason why Shi Min and his people chose Shangbai as the base camp of their army must also have considerations that are not known to outsiders.

Therefore, Jin Xuangong is not sure whether the Guangzong beggar army interfered in the battle of Shangbai, he is also gambling, and the bet that the beggar army did not completely accept Shi Min. If he wins the bet, Guangzong's begging army really doesn't care about the gains and losses in vain, then it means that Shi Min is so dependent on Guangzong's begging to carry out activities, which is actually the idea of confusing the public and faking the tiger!

If you can figure this out, its significance is even greater than simply conquering Shangbai!

So regardless of the factors on other battlefields, just what is the attitude of Guangzong's beggar army towards Wang Shi, Jin Xuangong's attack on the white this time is gambling on his life! If the beggar army left behind by Guangzong directly intervenes in this war, with the hundreds of people under his command, there will definitely be no return, death and no life, and it is impossible to insist on the rescue of the army of the king division on the back road.

The inside story will not be detailed for the time being. After the sky was bright, the scattered scouts also sent back a letter, saying that the specific location of Shangbai had been discovered, and after Jin Xuangong got the news, he no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned the soldiers who had dispersed to rest and retreat, and bullied Shangbai in the wilderness.

During the march, the field of vision gradually broadened, especially after the line out of the wilderness, there was no desolation in the field of vision, there were large tracts of land with traces of reclamation in the fields, and even mulberry forests, plum forests and other obvious artificial planting forest gardens, and there was also no lack of dilapidated villages, and finally had a bit of the style of the hinterland of Hebei, and it was no longer a boring wilderness.

Shangbai was also one of the main settlements of the remaining begging tribes, and Li Nong, the current general of the state of Qian, came out of the white begging vein. In this piece of the world, in previous years, there were tens of thousands of beggars living in the remains, because the main Ding Zhuang combat force followed Li Nong to be transferred to the north by the lord Shihu, after the start of the Northern Expedition this year, the thousands of beggars who stayed here were also accepted by Guangzong City, and this realm was deserted.

Hundreds of people marched in line on the field, which was eye-catching enough, especially in the idyllic wilderness where there was no way to hide, but according to the information from the scouts ahead, there was no need to hide their whereabouts at all, because Shangbai, the base camp of the Qiang army, was even more empty than they had previously thought.

On the way, traces of the arrival and exit of the brigade of men and horses can be seen everywhere in this realm, and there are still firewood ashes left in some abandoned camp stoves, so it is conceivable that there are still many men and horses assembled here to fight not long ago.

Jin Xuangong and the others traveled freely in this realm, and there were scouts running back and forth on foot in front of the team to report the latest enemy situation. Shangbai Chengchi is not big, and there is no shortage of similarities with Qu Zhou, when Jin Xuangong and they can already see the outline of the dwarf earth city in front of them from a distance, there are still many guards in the surrounding camps who are running in panic.

"It should be in battle, but I'm afraid it's hard to get it!"

Seeing such a loose and virtual camp defense, Jin Xuangong couldn't help but sigh, there was no lack of regret, he thought that the dangerous long-range attack, the real danger was only outside Quzhou City, and the cavalry of the Qian army stationed in Quzhou City did not find out that Wang Shi was dividing his troops to go out, and Shangbai was already just a frank target for them.

A group of people went straight to the outside of the earthen city of Shangbai, the city was cramped and short, and a panicked human head poked out of the earthen wall, about four or five hundred, obviously they did not expect that the Wang Division's army could be bullied to get close to this, although the hasty organization of manpower to defend the counterattack, but it looked more like a joke, many of them soldiers probably had not even experienced the real battle array, trembling with trembling arms holding rudimentary bows, once the arrow was off the string, flying out of less than a few zhang and then slanted into the soil outside the city.

This kind of battle was really lackluster, and the six hundred kings and soldiers outside the city divided into three roads, and went straight to the Tucheng city wall, and the bamboo rows and wooden planks removed from the empty camps around them blocked the chaotic arrows that had no strength at all, and then they were slapped under the Tucheng city wall, and the soldiers trampled on it, waving their swords and slashing.

Soon this rudimentary line of defense was completely disintegrated, standing on the low city wall, you can still see the chaotic soldiers in the city running in panic, most of them are disabled and old, if they can be beheaded and captured, they can probably get nearly a thousand. But Wang Shi ran far away, hundreds of foot soldiers, obviously unable to cover the whole city.

After Jin Xuangong entered the city, he first ordered to extinguish the burning beacon smoke to warn, and led a battalion of soldiers to kill the remnants along the lanes in the city, while the other battalion passed through the city, chasing and killing as many fleeing thieves as possible, but it was also stipulated that it would be three miles away from the city, and the poor should not chase far away.

The battle lasted less than half an hour from the beginning to the end, and the hardest thing was the running in the wilderness. Nearly 100 prisoners were taken in the city, and they were all driven into an empty house, and then they were inspected and harvested, and dozens of damaged armor weapons were obtained, and a fence in the southwest corner of the city was surrounded by more than a dozen horses, cattle and sheep, and more than 30 grains and grains, hemp, and other materials were found in the barns near the center of the city.

Coupled with this empty earthen city, the corpses that have not been collected in the lanes and inside and outside the city are all the gains of this battle. As for the losses on the part of the king's division, except for a few people who moved too violently and sprained their hands and feet when climbing the wall to capture the city, no one was killed in battle.

"Is this really white?"

One of the camp owners spat out a mouthful of dusty thick phlegm, some did not believe that they could take the city so easily on this trip, and wondered if they had touched the wrong target? After all, the previous conviction is not far away, and there is still a good temper who was surrounded and beaten by the Karma army in Quzhou and still has a vivid memory, so he is naturally full of doubts about the possibility that this empty city is actually the base camp of the Karma army.

"This is Shangbai!"

Jin Xuangong gave an affirmative answer, although the battle went smoothly is insignificant, but whether it is the traces left in the city or the scattered empty camps outside the city, it shows that a large number of people and horses have gathered here for a certain period of time. Not to mention anything else, the horse trough in an empty camp under the city alone could be used by thousands of war horses to drink and feed here at its peak.

The Shangbai Army has been the main opponent of the Yanzhou Army in recent times, and there are traces of various battles to follow, so naturally there is no spare time and manpower to create another big camp.

"This Shi Min is really a martial artist."

After wandering inside and outside for a while, Jin Xuangong couldn't help but sigh, even the commander of the Wang Division who was present in this scene didn't believe that Shangbai, who was the base camp of the Qiang army, was so empty, let alone the comrades who were still fighting on the front line.

If it weren't for what he said, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine that the fierce and unusually fierce Shangbai Army had become so weak that even the base camp was completely undefended!

Jin Xuangong sighed like this, he was by no means sarcastic, he really felt from the bottom of his heart that Shi Min, the general he had never met, was really a heroic figure born for troubled times. To be able to play a momentum of blocking the enemy from the outside and feeding the enemy under the coercion of such a strong Wang Shi is not something ordinary people can do.

If it weren't for Jin Xuangong's own renunciation, lovelessness, and the determination to die straight to death, even if the army of the king division swept away in the coming day, forced Shi Min back, and controlled this realm, as long as he couldn't kill this person on the frontal battlefield, I was afraid that it would be difficult to know how much real strength his person was!

"It's a pity, it's a pity! I was born at the wrong time......"

After sighing, Jin Xuangong smiled again, regretting that this Shi Min missed the good time to rise, and he may not have a trace of sadness for himself.

If it is still the old year of Hebei, its people are a little off from the times, and they can't create a meritorious career.

But now, the general trend of Xingtai has been achieved, and even Shi Hu, the overlord of Hebei in the old years, is just surviving, and it is even more difficult for his people to have a chance to grow up.

Winning Shangbai does not mean that this trip is a success, and the soldiers of Wang Shi did not have much time to reminisce about the joy of breaking through the empty gate this time, and immediately began to supplement the city defense after a short rest. Whether it was the cavalry of the Qiang army who returned to defend later, or the begging of Guangzong who was close at hand, it was a difficult test for them.

Although the camp in Shangbai is extremely empty and useless, it does not mean that the army will give up casually.

You must know that Shi Min's troops are also guest troops fighting here, and most of the troops are rangers, Shangbai is their only assembly place, once there is no fixed assembly place, in the face of the surging counterattack of the Wang Division's cavalry, it is almost impossible to gather all the ranger troops scattered in all sides to fight.

Jin Xuangong and his entourage have a definite goal, and they have all missed Shangbai rushing to the foot of Guangzong City, and the rangers are routed away, and the difference is a thousand miles, so there must be a truly stable assembly site. Of course, it is not ruled out that Shi Min will agree on another alternative assembly location when he sends the troops out, but it will not be too far away from Shangbai, otherwise the army will be defeated, and how many people will be able to assemble and retreat from afar?

When the city was attacked just now, Shangbai had already lit a warning beacon, and there was no shortage of defeated soldiers fleeing in the direction of Guangzong, and it is still unknown what Guangzong's reaction would be, if you know that the enemy who is coming is only a weak many, it is normal to test the attack a little.

Wang Shi traveled lightly, it was not easy to switch from attack to defense, fortunately in the warehouse seized a part of the city defense equipment, the previous attack was too sudden, and the remaining guards were all miscellaneous and weak, and they were not used for city defense, at this time all of them were moved to the head of the earthen walled city, in order to block the upcoming attack.
