Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 298

[Chapter 298]

“Stop attacking Xincheng!”

Chang Wei shouted loudly in the county government office of Hengshan County the next morning.

The other generals all looked surprised.

Zhao Xu spread the map of Jinzhou on the table, pointed to the north and said, “That’s right, let’s go to Huai County.”

Jinzhou is composed of seven counties like Yanzhou. Jincheng has three counties to the east and three counties to the west. counties.

The other is Jinjun, where Jincheng is located.

Among them, Jin County is located in the middle, and the three counties on the east and west sides are arranged opposite each other.

To the northwest of Xin County, Huai County is adjacent to Xin County.

The terrain of Huai County is long and narrow, completely wrapping Xin County.

The northernmost part of Huai County is Tongguan, which faces Yinshan Mountain, and is currently in the hands of Xiliang.

And as long as Tongguan is conquered, Beidi and Xiliang’s way down from Yinshan Mountain will be broken.

If we take down the two passes to the west of Jinzhou and defend the Jinhe River, it will be difficult for the two to touch Jinzhou again.

But now that he wants to attack Huai County, he doesn’t really want to attack Huai County.

It was a strategy of attacking west and disrupting Xiliang’s defense of Xincheng.

So he spoke his mind.

“The deserters from Xiliang sent back the news of the loss of Hengshan County. Xiliang must have set up many obstacles on the route of the royal family’s army’s attack, and looked for opportunities to eliminate our soldiers.” Zhao Xu said: “And the Xiliang soldiers in Xincheng will also increase. Be vigilant and guard against our night attack.”

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Zhao Xu continued: “So, this king thinks it’s better to go east and west. They think we’re going southwest to attack Xincheng, but we want to go northwest to fight Huaicheng.”

“So, they will definitely send a large army to help. Go fight Xincheng again.”

Halfway through Zhao Xu’s speech, the generals suddenly realized.

Hitting Huaicheng is fake, but hitting Xincheng is real.

It’s just to deceive the Xiliang army and let them concentrate their troops near Huaicheng.

“But this will test the foot strength of the school soldiers.” Chang Wei said.

Go to Huaicheng, lead the army from Xiliang, and then turn around suddenly and turn back quickly. This requires soldiers to march back and forth in a hurry.

The generals nodded upon hearing this.

“Naturally, this requires the speed of a soldier, but this time it is not necessary to send out all the troops to pretend to attack Huaicheng, but to send out ten thousand people.” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei tasted it for a while, and smiled, “Your Highness means to let these ten thousand people pretend to be dispatched by an army of 80,000 to confuse Xiliang. In fact, the main force of the army stayed in Hengshan City. When Xiliang soldiers arrived in Huaicheng, this Then we can attack Xincheng.”

Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

Chang Wei’s thinking was more and more on the same line as him.

“After these 10,000 people leave the city, the distance should be longer. When walking, try to raise dust as much as possible, like a large army dispatched to confuse the enemy.” Zhao Xu looked at the generals.

Finally he said: “Who is willing to undertake the mission of feint attack.”   Generals

, look at me, I look at you, a young general said: “The last general Liu Tan is willing.”

Training fusiliers at the Southern Camp.

But in the end they lost by a narrow margin.

It is said that he cried when he returned home.

Seeing Liu Tan’s firm eyes, he nodded and said, “Okay, there is no joke in the army. This matter is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely complete the feint at the end, otherwise I will come to see you.” Liu Tan Tan poked his neck and said loudly.

Zhao Xu nodded, and said to the crowd: “In that case, let’s rest for five days and see how Xiliang reacts to the loss of Hengshan County, and then implement the plan.”

When everyone heard this, they agreed in unison.

There is another reason why he adopted this strategy, and that is to end the war in Jinzhou as soon as possible and not give Beidi a chance to intervene.

At present, Beidi is still stationed in Yinshan Mountain, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is for him, otherwise, once Beidi’s army enters Jinzhou, he will definitely end in failure in this war.

…

Jincheng.

The news brought back by the deserters from Hengshan County made Murong Wuji’s face turn purple.

He expected that Ye Renrong would not be able to stop King Yan’s troops.

Therefore, Ye Renrong was not allowed to fight to the death with King Yan.

Instead, he was asked to defend the city and consume Yan Wang’s soldiers and horses.

But what I didn’t expect was that King Yan took Hengshan County so easily through a night attack.

Even Ye Renrong was taken prisoner.

The more than 40,000 Xiliang soldiers in the city were even more destroyed, and only a small number escaped.

“Boss, this King Yan really cannot be underestimated.” A general said.

He is one of Murong Wuji’s three deputy chiefs commanding 50,000 troops, auspicious.

Murong Wuji nodded slowly.

He fought against the Dasong Forbidden Army in Jinzhou all the year round.

But Xiliang had never suffered such a big loss at the hands of the imperial army.

But King Yan did it in one night.

However, he also grasped the key information from the mouth of the deserter.

King Yan’s artillery shattered and came to the city gate first, which provided conditions for the army to enter the city.

“Hengshan City is a small city without a moat, so King Yan can take advantage of it.” Murong Wuji said, “Order the whole army, after the suspension bridge is closed at night, sandbags must be piled up behind the city gate, and at the same time, beware of Yan Yan. The king’s army attacked at night.”

“Yes, chief.” The generals around Murong Wuji agreed in unison.

Then he said: “Send 5,000 cavalry to Hengshan County to investigate the location of King Yan’s grain road. If found, the grain road will be cut off.”

Although he knew that King Yan must have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Hengshan County.

But sitting back and watching the loss of Hengshan County and not taking any action would not destroy Xiliang’s prestige.

This time the cavalry was sent to boost Xiliang’s prestige, and secondly, if they really found the grain road, they would definitely destroy it.

His voice fell.

At this time, a general came over, escorting three Xiliang soldiers.

Arriving at Murong Wuji’s side, he said: “Boss, I finally caught some deserters who ran into your son. They claimed that they were let go by King Yan when Feihu Pass camp was broken.”

“Who let go by King Yan?” Murong Wuji His brow furrowed.

“Yes, they also said that the King of Yan gave them money to go back, and some soldiers voted for the King of Yan.” Zheng Jiang said.

“It’s just nonsense, how could the King of Yan let you go back and give you money as money, sir, I think they must have taken the money from King Yan and used it as a secret job for King Yan, these bumping sons are really unreliable.” Ji Li snorted coldly. One sound.

At this time the deserter from Xiliang said: “Boss, this time in Hengshan County, the Zhuangzi army surrendered the fastest, otherwise our defeat would not have been so miserable.”

He is a real Xiliang man, so the reputation of the defeated army is naturally not good. So he shifted the blame to Mr. Bang.

Murong Wuji was annoyed at the loss of Hengshan County, he said: “Push them out and behead them!”

“Leader, please forgive me, what I said is true, we will only come back if we have Xiliang…”

Murong Wuji Don’t be willing to listen to their excuses.

Zhengjiang immediately ordered the soldiers to take the three of them away.

Seeing this, Murong Wuji snorted and went back to the courtyard in Jincheng.

next day.

Five thousand cavalry set off from Jincheng to Hengshan County.

Arriving in Hengshan County, they sent cavalry to investigate.

But to their disappointment, there is no grain road between Feihuguan and Hengshan County.

Then, they came to Hengshan County.
