Chapter 570: Ambush (1 more)
The news of the plague will definitely not be concealed. If the news spreads, the people will inevitably be frightened. So in addition to doing a good job in urban defense management, we also think of solutions to deal with it.
The Ge family father and son had no big objection when they heard Yi Jiuxi and Lin Shuangyu discussing it. However, if they really found that there were people infected with the plague, they would not recommend that they interfere now.
According to his construction, as long as it comes from that direction, it is enough not to enter the city.
"If there is one, I don't think there will be many. Instead of letting them walk around, it is better to temporarily place them outside the city for easy control. Yi Jiuxi explained briefly, and Ge Hong stopped asking. After all, Kangcheng is still ten days away from them, and there will be no trouble for a while.
"Prince, according to the report from the post, the Yuan Jinguo as expected, as the prince expected, gathered nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses and was heading towards the two cities of Bian Fang. I don't know which city they would attack, and even if the troops were divided into two groups, these two cities might not be able to defend..." If you want to set up an ambush, you must be quick.
The few people stood in front of the map, and they all knew that there were many things in front of them, but this battle was imminent, and other things would be arranged after the battle was over.
"Xiangmapo, I and the General, just now, the terrain is extremely complicated. For a moment, it may be difficult to find someone familiar with the terrain, but it is too late, so I will go there first and then take the opportunity to do it." Time is too tight, and the fastest marching on the road is at least one day.
On the way back, Yi Jiuxi had already had plans in her mind.
When the Ge family heard this, they were already calculating the time in their hearts. They had to set up an ambush. There was really not much time to allow them to be kind, but the terrain towards Mapo was complicated and he went rashly. I am afraid... At this time, it is impossible to mobilize the troops of other cities, all of which were their Ge family's soldiers...
"What is the prince planning?" General Ge asked serious.
If he wanted to put all the troops in Muyang City into it, he would not be able to answer.
Unprepared battles mean that they were asked to die, and he could not let the brothers of the Ge family army take risks.
"When General Gu came, he brought two thousand soldiers and horses to stay in Muyang. I, like the old general, asked for three thousand soldiers and horses, and five thousand soldiers and horses set up an ambush towards Mapo, so that the court could return in a defeat, and quickly fight and take down this battle."
Five thousand?!
Even if it is an ambush, 5,000 to 60,000, this is a huge difference. Is it a joke when the prince is playing?
The Ge family father and son looked at each other, and when they looked at Yi Jiuxi, their doubts were unconcealed. "The prince wants to lead his troops to set up an ambush at Mapo?" This... the father and son were both unexpected.
He had a clear idea in his heart. Although the Ge family surrendered to the west of Sichuan, it was not so easy to ask for troops from them for a while. Three thousand was exactly the bottom line that the Ge family father and son could accept. If three thousand soldiers refused to give it to him, then the surrender would be a long time to think about.
"Yes, the two generals just need to take over Muyang City. I will go to Mapo in person and meet the imperial army for a while to let them retreat." After defeating this battle, Yuan Zhijin had no troops in his hands. Waiting for news from the court, I am afraid that I will not have time to deal with them in western Sichuan.
Therefore, this battle cannot be delayed, and the winning goal is just beautiful, so that the imperial army and horses will be timid in one battle.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" General Ge hurriedly bowed his hands with a serious look. Even if the terrain of Mapo was complicated, 5,000 to 60,000, it would be exaggerated to win the more with less.
Lin Shuangyu listened silently. When he heard this, he took a step forward and said softly: "Old General, time is endless. The prince must know in his heart. In this battle, the prince is bound to win. We just wait for the prince to return triumphantly. The prince uses troops like a god. The old general does not have to worry too much. I have no choice but to take down ten thousand soldiers and horses of the court without spending one soldier in western Sichuan. This time I can still win more with less."
Although she had never been to Xiangmapo and did not know the prince's intentions, she believed him.
He is not that kind of person who is not qualified. Not to mention five thousand soldiers or one thousand soldiers, he is reluctant to take them out and sell them now.
Although the six cities are now surrendering, this big victory is urgently needed to stabilize people's hearts.
"This...Prince..."
When several people stood on the city tower and watched Yi Jiuxi lead five thousand soldiers away from the city, the Ge family's father and son were still a little dazed.
"Don't worry, two generals, just wait for the prince to return in triumphant."
Lin Shuangyu looked ahead and said silently: "I will definitely return triumphantly."
The Ge family father and son were naturally looking forward to it, but whether they could really return in triumph... It is really unsure of the situation. However, the Ge family took out three thousand soldiers and horses, and even if others were... they had nothing to say, right?
"Dad, I want to go and have a look." After all, they are a member of the general's sect, and they are still somewhat bloody in their bones. In addition, the fact that Western Sichuan has won 10,000 troops in the court before, they have always wanted to know how the King of Western Sichuan uses his troops as a god. This time he can see it with his own eyes, so naturally he doesn't want to miss it.
If the situation is not good, he will act according to the opportunity.
General Ge squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and finally nodded. The Ge family army had 3,000 people. No matter what, it was really time to go to someone...
In the blink of an eye, one day and one night passed. This day and one night were a bit tormented for everyone. In theory, Yi Jiuxi and the others should have reached the ambush point and towards Mapo. He only had half a day to arrange the troops of the court, and the troops of the court would pass through to Mapo.
In other words, half a day later, success or failure will be announced.
The other cities also received news. Of course, they did not know the specific situation, only knew that the prince and Ge Hong had left Muyang City with five thousand soldiers, as if they were heading towards Bian Fanghe Dushi.
They also received the news that the imperial court gathered Jinmang and the two cities in Tongfang were in a hurry.
They were all confused. Could it be that the prince and Ge Hong took these five thousand soldiers to fight? Isn’t this going to die? I don’t know how to die.
When General Gu and Gu Qingchen heard the news, their faces were a little solemn, but they knew Yi Jiuxi better than others. They knew that the prince was not a fool, so they began to wait for the news nervously.
"Elderly General, Xiang Mapo should be moving." Looking up at the sky, Lin Shuangyu stood on the city tower and said calmly.
The old general looked ahead and nodded as if nothing had happened. He thought to himself that he was young and could not see any panic at all. He was so calm that he had to sigh, "You can't accept your old age."
"I'm really a little curious. Why are you so confident? Could it be that the prince has any trick to get rid of the enemy?" Finally, I couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Lin Shuangyu withdrew her gaze and shook her head: "I am the old general, I don't know what tricks the prince has, but I believe that the prince will definitely win. The old general, so it's okay now. Why don't we have the next game?"
At this critical moment, I still have the mood to play chess. Is it a big heart or a confident person?
The old man has a bad heart. Now these young people... are really hard to understand.
"Then let's go next?" He then withdrew his gaze, made a request gesture to Lin Shuangyu, and signaled to go home.
"When the old general goes down the mansion, I'm afraid he's so uneasy, so why don't we just sit on this city tower? How about we put a game?" When the moon is on the sky, news should come. At that time, how can we raise the fire to welcome you back?
General Ge turned slightly, looked at Lin Shuangyu for a moment, and nodded.
Such a woman can indeed tell the world like a man.
The soldiers quickly took the chessboard, and the two sat on the city tower and set up a game to play chess.
"I have experienced the skills of Mr. Lin's chess. It is said that the younger generation is better than the younger generation. I also have knowledge today." They lead troops to fight and can't play chess, so there is only fighting in this chess.
The two of them started to make a move, and they were both fast and there was almost no room for them. But when the chess was over halfway through, the speed finally slowed down because every time they landed, they could decide the winner or lose.
By this time, General Ge’s forehead was sweating slightly.
Chess faces and faces tit-for-tat, and every crisis is everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the game.
The battle for Xiangmapo is coming to an end.
Ge Hong was very glad that he was following him this time. He never thought that such a fighting style could be so refreshing. He was stunned and excited when he saw it.
Nearly 60,000 troops on the opposite side were trapped in this narrow path towards Mapo, and only 5,000 people were used to restrain them.
He just watched how the prince arranged troops and had no chance to charge. He was indeed here...
"Prince, this..." Ge Hong was extremely excited when he looked at the trapped imperial soldiers.
Yi Jiuxi stood in the deep forest on the hillside, looking at the imperial soldiers who had broken through for unknown reasons, and smiled slightly, "This terrain is naturally excellent, it is an excellent place to set up an ambush, and there is also a lot of room for the battle formation to play. I am just taking advantage of the opportunity and caught the other party off guard. If the one who led the troops was not Yuanzhijin, it would be impossible for all 60,000 soldiers to enter the formation. It would be good if he could trap half of them at most. I am afraid that the Yuanzhijin was preventing others from receiving the merits, so he brought his troops alone... It could be said that he was delivering them to his door."
This seven-star formation is not an authentic battle formation, but is temporarily changed based on the terrain. I originally thought that even if I could trap half of the imperial court's troops, I would use the terrain to take advantage of the terrain to take the ambush strategy and let the troops behind retreat without fighting. Now... it was this Yuan Jin that helped a lot.
I'm afraid Lin Hongzhi and Jiang Yan'an, who were waiting for news outside, could no longer sit still, but they had no troops to support them, and even if they had one, they would not dare to come and help.
These tens of thousands of soldiers were trapped, and the other party didn't know how many soldiers they had ambushed.
With his bluffing, he asked a thousand people to divide them into groups. Without doing anything else, he just raised the flag to Mapo and cheered, creating the illusion of tens of thousands of soldiers waiting here.
This virtual and real thing has already made the opponent mess up. In addition, he was trapped in the formation and several attacks were like hitting cotton, and he had long been exhausted by tossing.
"Prince, even if these people are too many, they will not have much combat power for the past half a day. I am willing to lead the troops to fight with them." What else can I think about when I catch the turtle in the jar?
"General Ge, we can't eat so many of these people. We only have 5,000 people. This place is still a distance from Muyang. When they leave Xiangmapo, they find that we only have 5,000 people. Even if they don't have weapons in their hands, they can still fight with us with bare hands..." So these people may have to be released today.
If you don’t have that big appetite, you can’t eat it randomly, otherwise indigestion will harm yourself.
However... these tens of thousands of people can't make a profit, so they can take over these weapons and horses, and let the court help raise them first. Sooner or later, they will be under his command, so there is no hurry.
The Yuan Jin was defeated, and I am afraid that Jin Ming, the defenders of the two cities in Tongfang also had the excuse to regain military power. There is no fear of generals without military power... This time the imperial court's plan to attack western Sichuan may have to be temporarily stranded.
This is all at the edge and can't swallow it...it's really a bit confusing.
But what the prince said is true. Ge Hong would really regret it now. If all the soldiers of the Ge family came, they would have made a lot of money today! It would be too late to regret it...
Now when I look at Yi Jiuxi, my eyes are completely different.
He thought to himself that they surrendered to the right person! The King of Sichuan is using his troops like a god! You can imagine the excitement. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, then you can believe it... there were nearly 60,000 soldiers and 60,000!
He estimated that this time, when they had the previous two waves of offensives, they lost less than a hundred people in total, which could be said to be a complete victory!
Here we are ready to close the momentum, and the sky is gradually darkening, and the surroundings are brightly illuminated by torches.
"What's going on?" Lin Hongzhi heard the news and rode a horse near Xiangmapo. He looked at the light from afar, with a slightly stunned expression.
Jiang Yan'an sighed, "General Yuan...is probably defeated." He thought before that these six cities had just returned to the hands of the King of Western Sichuan, and he would definitely not be able to transfer so many troops for a while. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the King of Western Sichuan.
