Chapter 67: Outside Wuyang City
Zhuocheng was building in an orderly manner, and Wen Bufan did not relax his guard against Ji Nancheng at all, and he was always on the horse to report on the affairs of Nanjun.
Recently, a number of troops have come to the southern county town, most of them are seven or eight thousand, and as few as one hundred and ten. Together, nearly 50,000 people. And there are many troops coming to Nanjun City one after another! It seems that Ji Nancheng still has a certain prestige in Nanjun.
With the remnants of the previous rout, Yu Yong slowly returned to Nanjun City, plus the rescue of other parts of Nanjun. Ji Nancheng's troops gradually grew stronger! So Ji Nancheng put on hold of his plan to ask for help from those tribes in the southwest. Then he stepped up his training, preparing to attack the Pingnan Pass that Ji Nancheng built himself and had been named by Wen Bufan!
After Wen Bufan completed the construction of Pingnan Pass, he transferred 25,000 of the 30,000 horses of Wuguan to Shangguan Hao and garrisoned Pingnan Pass.
When Ji Nancheng was fighting in Nanjun, Shangguan Hao was not idle, and asked people to investigate the terrain of Nanjun and make a sand table in Nanjun! After the sand table was completed, Shangguan Hao invited Wen Bufan over.
"Those tribes are in the southwest of Nanjun, and in the east are the plateau and the Nu River, if we want to attack Nanjun, the only place we can attack is in the north!" Shangguan Hao pointed to the sand table and said: "There are two cities in the north of this Nanjun and Nanjun forming a corner, and these two cities are Dadukou and Xiaoxizhai respectively. There weren't many garrisons in these two cities before! However, after returning to Nanjun this time, he not only sent additional men and horses to garrison these two cities, but also strengthened these two cities, making these two cities the two gates of Nanjun, so if you want to capture Nanjun, you must first capture these two cities! ”
Wen Bufan looked at the sand table, and his eyes followed Weishui all the way to the south, and Weishui went all the way from the Eagle Sorrow Stream to the south, flowing to the south, "This Nu River is Weishui?" ”
"Yes, after the Eagle Sorrow Stream, the water flow is turbulent, and the locals call it the Nu River, which is actually the downstream of Weishui!" Shangguan Hao said.
"Where is this water going?" Wen Bufan suddenly asked.
Shangguan Hao really asked the locals about this, so he said: "This Weishui eventually flows to the South China Sea!" ”
"South China Sea?" Wen Bufan glanced at Shangguan Hao, and remembered Xiao Heimei in his mind, and he didn't know where Xiao Heimei was now? How's it going?
"Why did the lord ask about this?" Shangguan Hao asked.
Wen Bufan came back to his senses and said, "Can we follow Weishui all the way south?" ”
Shangguan Hao looked at the sand table and said, "This Weishui ......"
"How?" Wen Bufan asked.
"Weishui is nothing, but from this eagle's sorrowful stream, the water is turbulent, and the surrounding cliffs are smooth and steep. Not to mention people, even birds can't fly! If you go this way, before you reach Nanjun, I am afraid that you will lose your troops first! Shangguan Hao said.
Hearing Shangguan Hao say this, Wen Bufan had no choice but to give up. He looked at the sand table again and asked, "Where is this?" ”
Shangguan Hao saw that the place Wen Bufan was referring to was a city in the northeast of Nanjun City, and said, "This place is called Wuyang!" The mountain next to it is called Wushan! ”
"Nice place!" Wen Bufan said.
Orion and Qingzhu stood on Wushan Mountain, looking at Wuguan City. The city is not large, and according to the news obtained by Tanma, the defenders of this city do not exceed 5,000 people.
"Why did the boss let us only besiege and not attack?" Orion looked at Qinglan and asked.
"Wen Gongzi has his own reasons." Qinglan said.
Orion and Qinglan have been besieging Wuguan for a month with 10,000 horses. said that it was a siege, but in fact, it was to send some cavalry to run around Wuyang every day. Of course, the cavalry had branches hanging from their tails! The camp of the army was entrenched at the foot of Wushan Mountain and built against the mountain.
With Tanma's report, Wen Bufan and Shangguan Hao, who were in Wuguan City, learned that Jinan City did not exclude any soldiers and horses to save Wuyang!
"Wuguan is only twenty-seven or eight days away from Nanjun. If Ji Nancheng wants to save Wuguan, it should also arrive! Shangguan Hao said.
"It seems that Ji Nancheng doesn't want to save Wuyang. Let the siege machines go! Wen Bufan looked at the sand table and said, "Tell Orion and Qinglan to attack the city as soon as our siege equipment arrives!" ”
"If Ji Nancheng sends troops to rescue, our troops are not enough to resist, and if we retreat, won't those siege equipment be cheap for Ji Nancheng?" Shangguan Hao said.
Wen Bufan shook his head and said, "Ji Nancheng will not send troops here!" There is only a fifteen-day trip from Pingnanguan to Wuyang, and it takes twenty-five days to march from Nanjun to Wuyang! If you can ride lightly, it will take twenty days! In other words, Ji Nancheng sent rescue troops today, and he will arrive five days later than us! If Orion can't capture Wuguan within a day, we'll withdraw our troops! ”
"One day?" Shangguan Hao was a little surprised, then thought about it and said, "How is it possible?" ”
Nanjun Chengping Nanwang Mansion Chamber
Ji Nancheng sat in the middle, and Luo Wei, Feng Yi and other generals sat around.
"Lord Wang, the last general still thinks that Wuyang is saved!" A national character face, the general who looks like Sven said.
"Lord Wang, the last general also thinks that what General Xu said is extremely true!" Feng Yi said.
"What do you think?" Ji Nancheng looked around.
The rest of the generals looked at each other, and no one squeaked. Ji Nancheng thought about it, these subordinates of his own, it was okay to fight, let them come up with ideas, it was indeed a little difficult for them.
Ji Nancheng set his eyes on General Xu, who had spoken before: "Xu Feng, tell me your opinion!" ”
"Yes, my lord! The last general believes that the enemy's move is intended to gradually encroach on Nanjun, and then make Nanjun an isolated island, a land without foreign aid! Xu Feng said unhurriedly, "Moreover, this move will also make those local troops who have come to defect to the prince these days have taken care of it." After all, their families are still in the same city! If they are captured by enemy forces, these soldiers will inevitably take care of their families, and people will be terrified! ”
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ji Nancheng quietly.
Ji Nancheng also knew that what Xu Feng said was very reasonable.
"How can this king not know the purpose of Wen Bufan's move!" Ji Nancheng cast an affirmative look at Xu Feng, "However, you don't know. Last time, the alien race invaded Donglai Country in a big way, Wen Bufan used this trick and made the alien generals Tengda, Darlu and others suffer a lot in Daxiguan! This king is afraid that his siege of the city is fake, and it is true that he will destroy our rescue troops or come to attack Nanjun! After Ji Nancheng finished speaking, he still remembered what happened to Tian Kai last time, the enemy was too cunning!
When Xu Feng, Luo Wei, Feng Yi and the others heard this, they understood Ji Nancheng's hesitation, if they sent troops to rescue, how many should they send? If you are afraid of being ambushed, you won't be able to do anything! If there are too many factions, the garrison strength of Nanjun will be weakened, and if Wen Bufan really raises troops to attack Nanjun, Nanjun will lose, then it will be a loss!
"Lord Wang, the last general is willing to bring 10,000 horses to rescue Wuyang!" Xu Feng stood up and said angrily.
"Ten thousand? The Tanma on the Wuyang side reported that the enemy army was at least 50,000! Ji Nancheng was a little surprised.
"Ten thousand is enough!" Xu Feng swore by it.
Ji Nancheng was still thinking about Tian Kai in his mind, and he thought that Tian Kai was also saying that he would definitely seize Wuguan, but ......
"The last general of the prince is willing to go with General Xu!" Lowe also stood up.
Xu Feng and Luo Wei were both generals who followed Ji Nancheng to pacify Nanjun back then, and Ji Nancheng also knew their abilities.
At this time, seeing Xu Feng and Luo Wei so angry, Ji Nancheng also felt a sense of heroism in his heart, "Okay! This king will give you 50,000 elite soldiers, and General Xu will be the marshal! General Luo is the vanguard, leading 20,000 elite soldiers first, and General Xu leading 30,000 elite soldiers to the rear! Go save Wuyang! ”
"Order!"
"Ji Nancheng still sent troops! It seems that there are still people who understand in Nanjun! Wen Bufan said.
"Lord, Ji Nancheng dispatched 50,000 elite soldiers! Orion and Qinglan only brought 10,000 horses, plus the siege equipment team, it was only 13,000 people! "Shangguan Hao knew that this time Wen Bufan only sent Orion and Qinglan, and did not send other ambush troops!
"Count the days, Orion, they should start the siege!" Wen Bufan ignored Guan Hao.
"Lord, how can you capture Wuyang City in one day, and even if you capture it, how can you defend it?" Shangguan Hao looked at Wen Bufan with some eagerness.
Wen Bufan smiled slightly, looked at Shangguan Hao and said: "So I asked them to attack the city for one day, and then withdraw the troops non-stop, counting the night, they have four and a half days to retreat, oh, no, after four and a half days, the light cavalry of Ji Nancheng will arrive in Wuyang!" If they don't chase it, the Orion can withdraw with a swagger! If they do, they will have to catch up with Orion in at least five days, and then Orion will be five days away from us at most! You say, will Ji Nancheng's troops go after Orion? ”
After Wen Bufan finished speaking, he thought to himself, this guy Orion probably won't attack for a whole day, because he had already told Orion to save! Don't waste it! If the Tiger Hunter knew that the enemy had sent reinforcements and didn't need to capture Wuyang, this guy would never waste ammunition!
Shangguan Hao looked at Wen Bufan and said, "Lord, you are ......"
Wen Bufan nodded.
"My lord, are you a 'tired soldier'?" Shangguan Hao said.
"Not bad! That's why I'm looking for these cities that are a little closer to us and a little farther away from Jinan City! Wen Bufan said.
"Send a small number of soldiers and horses to lure Ji Nancheng to send troops to rescue and consume their food and grass! They must have sent more reinforcements than ours, and naturally consumed more than us! What's more, Ji Nancheng's reserves are definitely not as many as ours! Then, if Ji Nancheng does not send troops to rescue, he will directly capture the city! Shangguan Hao said.
"Yes, if he sends troops, we will retreat, and if he does not send troops to rescue, we will attack the city! He saves here, and we'll go and besiege other places. Let Ji Nancheng be left and right, and in the end, let Ji Nancheng save it, and it is not okay not to save it! After speaking, Wen Bufan's gaze fell on a city on the sand table again!
"They're coming to the rescue!" Qinglan said to Orion, who was directing the siege.
"Huh? So soon, the boss said that as soon as the enemy moves, we will withdraw! Orion hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Aren't you going to attack for a day?" Qinglan said.
"You don't know our boss! The Boss said, 'Save!' Don't waste it! 'This Wuyang can't be captured, so why waste time and materials? With that, Orion led his soldiers backwards.
"You're not afraid you've misunderstood what your boss meant! This is a military order! Qinglan felt that Orion's retreat was a disobedience to the military order, and the consequences were terrible.
"Hmmm! You're right. Orion thought for a moment and ordered: "Brothers, take a thousand people as a unit, take turns to shout under the city - we are going to attack the city, shout a stick of incense time, change the next group, shout until dark, we will withdraw our troops back to Pingnan Pass, I will say it first!" Keep your distance, don't let the cold arrows on the walls hit! ”
Qinglan on the side, with a helpless face!
