Chapter 1085： Siege

Mu Yangling didn't stop at Henan Mansion. After handing over the follow-up matters to General Shang, she took her people to Zhengzhou.

At this time, Qi Haoran had recovered three county towns in a row and fought against the defenders of Zhengzhou. Qi Haoran had no use of suspicious tactics.

The Zhengzhou garrison sneered when he confirmed that there were indeed only more than 20,000 people, and personally led people out of the city to meet the enemy.

Qi Haoran personally led the army to fight head-on, and sent two generals to ambush with 5,000 men each, and let Feibai and Rongle go with them.

Feibai has been following Qi Haoran to fight in the north and south, and his skills are not weak. He sees no less blood than those generals. What he lacks is only military merit, so Qi Haoran is very relieved. He just instructed Rongle to follow Feibai closely. .

said to Feibai again: "Rongle is the eldest son of Brother Rong, you should be optimistic about him, don't let him die."

Feibai responded and returned to the team with Rongle.

Seeing Feibai's calm face, Rongle lowered his voice and asked, "General Shang and General Qin both used the strategy of suspicion, why don't we use it? Even if Zhengzhou sent reinforcements, there are now 40,000 in the city. , nearly twice as many as us."

Fei Bai smiled and said: "You also said that there are twice as many generals. It has always been more difficult to attack a city than to defend a city. It takes almost three times the number of people to win a city. If we climb the ladder, I am afraid that it will not be enough for them. The arrows are shot, so it is better to lead people out and consume them slowly.”

Feibai said confidently: "What our prince is best at is surprise attacks and head-to-head combat. Don't you think that the previous county seat was recovered in just five days?"

On the contrary, they attacked the city like a god. Except for the travel time, they were able to attack the next city in almost a day. It was too powerful. Rongle often heard from his father how hard it was to fight, but only based on his experience in the past few days. , the war does not seem to be as difficult as expected.

Feibai has been a servant boy with Qi Haoran for so many years, Rongle's expression naturally cannot be concealed from him, he sighs inwardly, knowing that he has never experienced it, he persuades the other party that he is afraid that he will not believe it, and the future war will only become more and more difficult , let him experience it himself.

War has always been the hardest. Whether it is for soldiers or generals, many things that I once thought could never be adapted to, can be adapted in war.

The little bear swallowed the dry food with the water, turned to look at his mother, saw that she was soaking the dry biscuits in the water to soften, so he moved over and said, "Mother, let me catch two rabbits for you to eat."

Mu Yangling glanced at him and said, "Do you know why you want to eat the same dry food as your soldiers?"

"I know that we have to share weal and woe with them in order to unite the army, but mother, I have to share weal and woe with me. You are my mother, and you should enjoy happiness."

Mu Yangling said with a smile, "You're so eloquent now that you learned from those old soldiers and fritters?"

"No, it's my son's idea."

"I thank you for your filial piety," Mu Yangling said, "We eat and live with the soldiers, not only to unite the military, but also to polish ourselves. Also, we are now going to the north of Zhengzhou to ambush The golden soldiers who escaped from Zhengzhou are naturally the best to hide their tracks at this time, and lighting a fire may reveal our whereabouts. I haven’t seen the cold these two nights, so we can only stay warm together, don’t we dare to make a fire?”

"Mother, when do you think Dad will be able to conquer Zhengzhou? We don't have much dry food on us."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhengzhou is the first big city your father faced, morale is high, it won't be long, the news of the loss of the city of Henan should have spread to Zhengzhou, they should panic. It's been a while."

At this time, Qi Haoran, who had just won a battle during the day, was celebrating all night long. Jin Bing received the news and attacked overnight. They beat drums, shouted, and there were quite a few wine jars on the ground. Their expressions changed, and they knew they were being fooled. They turned their horses' heads and were about to leave, but torches were raised around them. Leave it all!"

The Jin soldiers had the idea of ​​rushing to the camp, so they only sent 500 cavalry. It should be with the idea of ​​rushing up and down the camp and burning food and grass, but they did not expect that the 500 cavalry would be ambushed and surrounded by 20,000 people. Dumplings were made.

Qi Haoran asked Feibai to change into the clothes of the golden man, and brought four hundred cavalry to Zhengzhou City. Qi Haoran said: "Come out after rushing, don't fight, and there are mostly Han people in Zhengzhou City, remember to shout a few times, provoke them."

Qi Haoran sneered, "Ordinary people naturally don't have the guts to face the Jinbing, but there are many big households in Zhengzhou city, and there are even aristocratic families in it. Back then, there were people who abandoned their homeland and opened the city gates for the Jinmen, and now there must be people who defected to us. "

Feibai became excited. He knew that the prince had given him the merit of a general, because Jin Bing would never have thought that the cavalry who came out to attack would be dumped and those who came back were fake. Most of them rode Jin Bing's war horses. He was wearing Jinbing's clothes, and at night when his vision was hazy, he couldn't tell the difference.

Feibai took the people to Zhengzhou, and was thinking of how to shout at the gate to let them open the gate. Who knew that the people on the gate saw them coming back, and they directly asked someone to open the small gate.

Yes, they are out to attack, how could they have time to greet each other outside, naturally it is better to enter the city as soon as possible, so as not to be overtaken by the pursuers behind.

Feibai led people into the city tower, and as soon as they entered, they drew their swords to kill, so that they had no chance to close the city gate.

Feibai rushed into one street with the people, shouted a few words, and then led the team out, and when the cavalry of Daikin drove out, he had already taken the people and rushed out of the city.

The Zhengzhou general looked at the chaotic and wailing soldiers, and felt a chill all over his body. One step, one step, it seemed like he had made a plan.

A messenger rushed over, kneeling in blood and bowing, "General, Henan Mansion has fallen!"

The Zhengzhou general's expression changed, and a sergeant came quickly with a flying pigeon biography, and said in a low voice, "General, I just received the Kaifeng mansion. Come……"

The Zhengzhou general held the letter's hand tightly and said, "Send a letter to the imperial court immediately and ask for reinforcements!"

However, the Dajin court was in chaos. They didn't expect Daqi to move so fast. They started in late February, and they still attacked from east to west.

Zhezi from all over the country begging for troops and forage almost buried the emperor, and when Zhengzhou's letter of help arrived before the emperor's case, Zhengzhou fell, and the defenders of Zhengzhou and Zhengzhou coexisted. Encountered an ambush on the way, killed in battle, the defeated army lost 4,500, and captured 3,500 people.
