Chapter 1632

According to Tang Yin's instructions, the plain army mainly attacked Zhuyang County; the Tianying army mainly attacked Hengshui County; the Baizhan army stationed in Baima and Yishu counties cooperated; the Ninth Army and the new army mainly attacked Chuankou county.

As for the Ninth Army and the new army, they thought it would be easy to take down kawakouchi Prefecture. They were as bloodless as the prefectures and counties they had struck before, but in fact they were just the opposite.

As soon as the two armies entered Chuankou County, they were attacked by the local army of Chuankou.

The Chuankou army did not ambush the main force of the Ninth Army and the new army, and they did not have the strength. Instead, they sneaked around behind the two armies and attacked the logistic supplies of the Ninth Army and the new army.

The scale of the war was small, and the number of troops of the Kawasaki army was not large, but both were very elite. The logistic supply teams of the two armies were caught off guard, and a large number of grain, grass and military funds were robbed and burned.

After hearing the news, Qi Heng cavalry led a cavalry to quickly turn back for reinforcements, but when they returned, the Chuankou army had already run out of sight.

Qi Heng was so angry that he ordered the Ninth Army and the new army to take Tingkou city of Chuankou county directly.

Tingkou city is located in the north of Chuankou county. If the wind forces want to go deep into the hinterland of Chuankou County, they must first take Tingkou as a foothold.

According to the investigation report, there are only 5000 local troops in Tingkou, while the Ninth Army and the new army have 200000. It's easy to take down Tingkou.

In the siege war, the Ninth Army can only play the role of covering and intimidating. It is impossible to expect heavy cavalry to rush to the wall to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. The task of frontal attack naturally falls on the new army.

Since its establishment, the new army has been in the process of fighting, and its combat experience has been extremely rich. Of course, it is no surprise that the new army wants to win a small town guarded by only 5000 people.

Liu Zhang only sent two regiments to fight. In his opinion, this was enough, and the garrison could not resist the fierce attack of his 20000 soldiers. But he was wrong. After the war, it was not as smooth as he thought.

The resistance of the 5000 garrison was extremely tenacious and fierce. The two regiments of the Feng army fought a wave and were repulsed. After several rounds of charging, they all failed and suffered a lot of casualties.

In the face of such a situation, Liu Zhang was quite surprised, but now it was too late, he could only order the troops to withdraw and wait until tomorrow to fight again.

When he returned to the camp, he had just entered the central army tent, but he was not sitting hot. Qi Heng angrily came to the door.

Qi Heng was very dissatisfied with the new army's siege of the city today. The Central Army Corps, which was full of strong winds, could not beat down a small town with only 5000 local troops stationed. It was reported that not only the new army, but also his ninth army were disgraced.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Qi Heng pointed to Liu Zhang's nose in front of the new army generals and asked, "what kind of bloody battle are you fighting today? How can you be the commander in chief of the army if you can't even fight a town with 5000 people? "

Although Qi Heng is a Mo man, he has no official to resume his original post. However, his qualification in the army is much older than that of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang can only listen and bear the blame in front of him.

He owed himself and said with a smile, "general Qi, I have made a mistake in today's war. General Qi will also eliminate the fire. Please sit down quickly."

"How can I sit still now?" Qi Heng has a hot temper. He comes and goes quickly. He pinches his waist with both hands and walks back and forth in the big tent. He shakes his head and says indignantly: "since entering Chuankou County, our army has not been smooth. Now it is the logistics team that has been attacked and the attack is blocked. Isn't this a joke for the plain army and the Tianying army?"

"Yes, yes, yes! General Qi is right Liu Zhang nodded repeatedly.

As a matter of fact, he was also very depressed and even more puzzled that he had not killed the pavilion. He was even more puzzled. It was inconceivable that 20000 vs. 10000, the wind force vs. the an army, the central army vs. the local army, regardless of the strength and combat effectiveness, how could he not fight down?

He turned his eyes to the two commanders of the 7th and 8th regiments who were attacking today and asked, "General Mao and general Gong, when you were commanding the attack, did you think that the garrison in the city was really 5000?"

Hearing his question, Qi Heng stopped and looked at Mao Yi, commander of the seventh corps of the new army, and Gong Dan, commander of the Eighth Army.

With shame on his face, Mao Yi lowered his head and whispered, "there are only a few thousand defenders, but"

"what is it? Say it all in one breath Liu Zhang said in a deep voice.

"But there are many spiritual practitioners in the garrison." Maoyi has a low voice. As soon as his words fell, Gong Dan immediately said, "yes, there are many spiritual practitioners wearing an army's armor in the garrison. It's not clear how many of them are, but they are definitely not in the minority. These spiritual practitioners are extremely powerful. Even if our soldiers are not easy to rush to the city, they will soon be beaten down by them"

"this can not be an excuse for your unfavorable combat!" Qi Heng snorted coldly beside him.

Mao Yi and Gong had red ears on one side, and their heads dropped lower. They said in a trembling voice, "the general is not good at the end of the battle. Please punish the general."

Liu Zhang put his hand on it. The battle has already been fought like this. What's the use of punishing them.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Qi Heng and asked, "general Qi, do you remember that when you were in Yuzhen, the king once mentioned that Rangers from all over the country gathered in Chuankou county."Qi Heng blinked his eyes, frowned and tried to recall. After a while, he said ambiguously: "it seems that there is such a thing! Liu Zhang, do you think there are Rangers in the garrison? "

"There can only be such an explanation. Otherwise, how can those polytheists come from?" Liu Zhang youyou said: "it seems that the king's news is true. Chuankou county is not as good as we thought it would be!"

He was worried, but Qi Heng grinned and said, "if it is true, it will be a good thing."

"What do you say?"

"The king has always hated Rangers. If Kawasaki really gathers many Rangers from all over the country, it will be a great opportunity for you and me to make contributions." He was happy to turn his eyes horizontally and could not close his mouth.

Liu Zhang and the generals Bai'an and Yan Yan around him couldn't help but turn their eyes. In Qi Heng's head, he had no other idea but to perform meritorious deeds.

"Tomorrow, I will go to war myself, but I want to see how many rangers are mixed in the garrison in the city." Qi Heng suddenly became high spirited and said excitedly.

Bai'an and Yan Yan both nodded and said to Liu Zhang, "general, tomorrow I will go out with general Qi!"

Liu Zhang didn't refuse. A small town in Tingkou was shameful enough if he didn't fight the first day. If he didn't fight the next day, the morale of the whole army would be greatly affected. Therefore, tomorrow's siege can only succeed, and no more defeat is allowed.

Thinking of this, he perked up his spirits and said, "except for the seventh and eighth regiments, they will all go to war tomorrow! The first and second regiments mainly attack the northern city of Tingkou; the third and fourth Corps mainly attack the southern city of Tingkou; the fifth and sixth Corps mainly attack the western city; the ninth and tenth Corps mainly attack the eastern city. Tomorrow, all generals must work together to win the Pavilion

"Yes All the generals stood up and took orders.

However, it was not until the new army went out to battle tomorrow. That night, late at night, an army in Tingkou sent a small group of elite to attack the East camp of the Feng army.

The new army and the Ninth Army are Infantry Corps and cavalry regiment. The barracks are not combined, but they are camped separately. The new army's camp is in the front and the Ninth Army's camp is in the rear.

There are only 200 soldiers in this camp, and they are attacking the camp of the new army. Relying on being familiar with the terrain and the lack of prevention by the Fengjun, the Anjun was successfully mixed into the camp and burned the granary in the East camp of the new army.

This big fire, which was more than 10 meters high, reflected most of the eastern camp of the new army.

After receiving a message from the soldiers below, Liu Zhanglian, who was not wearing any armor, ran out of his bed account in a hurry and went outside to have a look. Well, he could clearly see the fire on the other side of Dongying.

Liu Zhang breathed in his breath and asked the soldier in a hurry, "where is the fire?"

"It's our army's granary!"

"Ah?" After hearing this, Liu Zhang's head hummed. Before, the logistics team had been attacked, and his own food and grass had not been replenished in time. If the grain depot of his army was burned down again, his own side would be cut off. What else would the army's 100000 soldiers eat next?

At this time, Liu Zhang's eyes were red with anxiety. He pushed aside the soldiers who reported the news, untied a war horse outside his bedroom account, and jumped on it, urging the horse to run to Dongying.

The bodyguards around were startled and yelled: "general, be careful, general, slow down!" Shouting, they shook off their legs and ran after them.

Liu Zhang didn't care whether the bodyguards in the back were following up. He urged the horses to run wildly. After a short time, he ran to the fire site of Dongying, sat on his horse and looked up. The huge granary has now turned into a sea of fire, surrounded by countless wind troops watering and extinguishing the fire, and many soldiers and soldiers are desperately rescuing food from the sea of fire, shouting all over the place. People are constantly shuttling, and the scene is in chaos.

How could this happen! Seeing this, Liu Zhang was also dumbfounded. How could a 5000 strong enemy have the courage to sneak in on his army camp of 100000 people? How could an army in Chuankou Prefecture be so powerful?

He urged his horse to rush into the crowd and yelled to the surrounding soldiers: "fire! Put out the fire! Who knows where the enemy troops are now

"Tell the general that the enemy has already run away!"

"Where to run"

before he finished his words, he suddenly shot more than ten crossbows and arrows in front of him, around his left and right. This incident came so suddenly that no one could have imagined that someone in the wind army would shoot a cold arrow at Liu Zhang.

If Liu Zhang was on guard at this time, no matter how many crossbows and arrows he fired, he might not be able to hurt him. But now his mind is on the burning food and grass. How could he expect that there will be enemies hiding among his own soldiers.

With the clunky sound of the arrow into the meat, Liu Zhang called out in pain and fell down.
