Leng Bufeng, one of Ji Xuan's capable officers, was also the leader of the army. After knowing that a scoundrel had escaped, Leng Bufeng was very angry and said, "waste, you can let people escape." So many people can even let a spy run away.
The man who came to repay bowed his head and did not dare to say anything.
Leng Bufeng's subordinates said, "general, what shall we do now?" Spies ran back, and their ambush must be known by cloud engine. There's no point in continuing to ambush.
Leng Bufeng said: "since we have found out, there is no need to ambush." Just go straight ahead. It's close anyway.
Leng Bufeng actually felt that it was a pity that the northwest army was invincible from Yucheng to Wucheng, and didn't encounter any obstacles. In this way, he didn't let Yun Qing relax his vigilance. If Yunqing doesn't send spies, he will be able to destroy Yunqing in Gaojialing.
When the subordinates knew about it, they hesitated and said, "general, the northwest army has a strong fighting capacity. I'm afraid that if we fight head-on, we won't take advantage of it." In addition, the soldiers were much dressed in cold weather, and they were very heavy in war.
Leng Bufeng said, "no matter how tough they are, they only have 30000 people." Leng Bufeng took 90000 people to ambush here this time. Leng Bufeng had three times more troops than them. If he fell into the ambush circle again, the northwest army would suffer heavy losses no matter how severe it was. Therefore, if we march and fight, we may lose the whole army if we are not careful.
Yunqing soon found out that the opponent had 90000 troops. 90000 vs 30000. Normally, the party with fewer people will be in a mess when they know it. Unfortunately, the 30000 people brought out by Yunqing are the most elite soldiers in Northwest China, and the soldiers in them are all experienced soldiers. Even, there are many people who are still climbing out of the dead. Therefore, even if the other party is three times more than them now, none of them will shrink back. Not only that, this one is like beating chicken blood, ready to kill it! All the way, they just went on their way, but they didn't do anything.
Know that the other side has 90000 troops, under normal circumstances it must be defensive. Yunqing did the opposite and sent 3000 cavalry to attack. Yunqing had the strength to fight. The fighting power of these cavalry was comparable to those of the northern captives. Cavalry against infantry, it's like entering a no man's land.
Yunqing's behavior was far beyond lengbufeng's expectation. Knowing that Yunqing sent cavalry to take the initiative to attack, he couldn't help but scold: "madman, really a madman." I know I'm at a disadvantage, but I still attack on my own. It's not crazy.
Leng Bufeng's subordinates cried and said, "general, the rebel cavalry is too fierce for us to resist." These cavalry kill their people, just like cutting wax gourd, one by one. He had long heard that the northwest army was fierce. Now after fighting, he knew that these people were not fierce, they were ferocious. They killed people without blinking. Sure enough, any general will bring out any soldiers.
Leng Bufeng said loudly, "if you can't resist it, you have to resist it. I don't believe it. We can't kill 30000 of them. Pass on my orders, full attack. " Three on one, no matter how fierce the northwest army was, it was impossible to beat him.
Even if his subordinates kept running in to tell him that the war was bad and the casualties were heavy, he would not order the withdrawal. As a result, the battle lasted until dark. It's getting dark. I can't see it. I can't do without a truce.
Yun Qing, covered with blood, said to Guan Tai and Yuan Ying, "count the casualties.", Yunqing went to the battlefield in person this time, 30000 to 90000, but he couldn't go to the battlefield in person.
Gao Song, the bodyguard, brought two buckets of water and said to Yun Qing, "general, wash your clothes before you eat." He is worried about Yunqing's discomfort. Even before. Since he married his wife, the general is very particular about it.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "put the water in the tent." When you go to bed, you can wash it again. There will be no time to take a bath.
The casualties were quickly counted out, and Yuan Ying said, "general, 1685 people were killed and 2935 seriously injured. Among them, 67 cavalry soldiers were killed and 198 seriously injured. " The cavalry is the best equipped and the most effective, so the casualties are the least.
Yun Qing said: "those wounded soldiers must get proper treatment." This time, he took all the military doctors with him. It's just that it's very difficult to get medical treatment after the injury in the case of lack of medicine. If you can't make it through, you'll be dead.
Yuan Ying said: "nearby doctors have also been collected, but there is not enough medicine, and the doctors have no way."
Cloud Qing is silent for a while, say with Gao Song: "will seal big army and Yu Cong they all summon to come over." We have to have a meeting to discuss it.
When they got the news, they all came. Feng Dajun was the first to speak and said, "general, we have heard that there are 40000 guards in Lanzhou. How did 90000 people emerge? Did Ji Xuan also transfer tens of thousands of people from the other side of the South City? "
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No. If so, Lanzhou city is not the enemy? And today this army is not weak. "
Yu Cong said: "general, if it's not the soldiers in Nancheng, it's Ji Xuan who has transferred troops from Shaanxi. But in such a short time, people arrived in Lanzhou city. It's fast enough, as if they had been prepared. "
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention. Feng Dajun said: "general, I was very strange before. No matter how weak the local army is, it can't be led by the nose by 30000 rebels. Now look, Ji Xuan's target is afraid to be general you. "
Yunqing remembers that Yuxi told him to buy so much food before, but Ji Xuan, the place under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Province, didn't respond at all. This reaction is a bit strange. At that time, Yunqing explained to Yuxi that it was Ji Xuan who was afraid of what happened in those years. Now where he wants to come is Ji Xuan's fear. It's very likely that Ji Xuan did it on purpose. Ji Xuan did this on purpose to create convenience for his rebellion!
Trimmer was a little strange and said, "that's not right! Does that Ji Laogou know how to fight against the dog emperor? "
Cloud Qing hears this, complexion is very ugly. If it's true as Cui Mo said, Ji Xuan may be the one who assassinated Yuxi. Ji Xuan's purpose is to force him to rebel, and he just takes the opportunity to eradicate him. Of course, it's just his guess.
Yuan Ying was more careful. Seeing Yun Qing like this, he asked, "general, what's the matter with you?" Look, there seems to be something wrong.
Cloud engine this meeting has already restored the appearance of the facial expression, said: "our present troops are not enough to attack the city, have to wait until Du Zheng their troops can attack the city." When they came out to take the lead, Du Zheng had to bring some things, so he was a little slow.
There is no objection to this. After a long discussion, everyone went down to have a rest. After a day's fighting, it's time to have a good rest.
Feng Dajun went back and saw Yunqing's worried appearance and asked, "general, what are you worried about?" At that time, they were made dumplings by the barbarians, and they would die at any time. The general didn't frown. This time, it's certainly not because Ji Xuan sent troops to worry.
Yunqing said, "I'm worried about what will happen in Yucheng." Yun Qing is not afraid of Ji Xuan. Even if Ji Xuan sends all the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, he doesn't worry. All the troops and horses in Shaanxi Province add up to only 200000. Remove the tens of thousands of troops on the other side of the South City, today's troops are already more than half of the troops that Ji Xuan can dispatch.
Yun Qing is not afraid to fight with Ji Xuan head-on, nor is he afraid to consume with Ji Xuan. They have enough food to eat until the spring of next year. But Yunqing is worried about what will happen in Yucheng. Uncle Huo, Yuxi and their children are all in Yucheng. Once something happens in Yucheng, the consequences are beyond his imagination.
Feng Dajun said, "general Fu will not turn his back on you. Moreover, even if general Fu has different intentions, there are adoptive father and Wei who are there! " It's said that the hero is sad about the beauty pass. The general of his family is sad about the lady pass.
As they were talking, the spies sent out came back to report: "general, Leng Bufeng has withdrawn his troops to Lanzhou city."
Cloud Qing heard this, put down his anxiety, said: "I'm afraid we can't spend the new year in Lanzhou city this year." Leng Bufeng retreated to Lanzhou City, which is ready to save strength. Now they have only more than 20000 people, so it is impossible for them to attack the city. No matter how fast Du Zheng was, he couldn't catch up with him a year ago. So this year, they are expected to spend the new year in this small town.
Feng Dajun said with a smile, "what's the point. Next year, when we celebrate the Chinese New Year in Ho City, it will be more beautiful. " Ho City, however, is the central city in the northwest, and also the most prosperous area in the northwest. The Spring Festival in Ho City also means that they have won the final victory.
Yun Qing smiles.
Leng Bufeng returned to Lanzhou City and saw Ji Xuan. He knelt down on the ground and said, "your honor, you are incompetent." It's not that he's incompetent, it's that the rebels are too powerful.
Ji Xuan asked, "how many people have been damaged this time?"
Leng Bufeng said with deep pain: "more than 45000 people have been damaged." After saying this, Leng Bufeng said, "your honor, the rebel cavalry is too powerful. One third of us died in the hands of the opposing cavalry." Of course, infantry is much better than them. Just compared with cavalry, there is still a gap.
Ji Xuan did not comment on this, said: "the other side of the loss of how many people?" He had heard about the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the northwest army, so he was not surprised. What he wants to know now is the gap between them and the northwest army.
Leng Bufeng said: "the rebels should have killed and wounded tens of thousands of people."
Ji Xuan said: "they have calculated more than 10000, and we have lost more than 40000. So we should use four times more troops than the rebels."
Leng Bufeng shook his head and said, "my Lord, there are few casualties of their cavalry this time." Cavalry, that's the nightmare of their vanguard camp!
Ji Xuan's staff said: "general, there are only more than 20000 people left on the other side, and they don't have natural dangers and solid walls to defend. At this time, we should send more troops to attack. " If we wait for the follow-up troops of the northwest army to arrive, they will be even more passive.
Leng Bufeng kneels on the ground and dare not ask for a fight. The northwest army is too tough. Even if he was asked to take 100000 troops to fight, he could not win. So, let someone else do the job! He's out of it.
