Chapter 287: War (1)

Leng Bufeng, one of Ji Xuan's capable generals, is also the leader of this army. After knowing that a scout had escaped, Leng Bufeng was extremely annoyed, and said: "Trash, you can still make people escape." With so many people, you can even let a scout escape.

The people who came to report back lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.

Leng Bufeng's subordinate said: "General, what should we do now?" The spies ran back, and Yun Qing must have known about their ambush. There is no point in continuing to ambush.

Leng Bufeng said: "Since we've discovered it, there's no need for an ambush." ​​It's enough to start the fight, anyway, it's close.

Leng Bufeng actually felt that it was a pity that the Northwest Army was invincible from Yucheng to Wucheng without encountering any obstacles, so it didn't make Yun Qing relax his vigilance. If Yunqing hadn't sent out spies, he would have been able to wipe out Yunqing in Gaojialing.

After the subordinates knew about it, they hesitated, and said: "General, the Northwest Army is very powerful. I'm worried that if we fight head-on, we won't be able to take advantage of it." Besides, it's freezing cold, and the soldiers wear a lot of clothes, which makes them cumbersome when fighting.

Leng Bufeng said: "No matter how tough they are, they only have 30,000 horses." This time Leng Bufeng brought 90,000 horses to lay an ambush here. Leng Bufeng originally had three times more troops than them, and if he fell into an ambush, no matter how powerful the Northwest Army was, it would suffer heavy losses. So when it comes to marching and fighting, if one is not careful, the whole army may end in annihilation.

Yun Qing soon discovered that the opponent had as many as 90,000 soldiers and horses. Ninety thousand to thirty thousand, normally the side with fewer people will definitely mess up after knowing it. It's a pity that the 30,000 soldiers brought out by Yunqing are the most elite soldiers in the Northwest, and the soldiers inside are all battle-tested. Even, many people inside still climbed out of the pile of dead people. Therefore, even if the other party is three times more than them now, none of them flinched. Not only that, but each one of them seemed to have been spattered with chicken blood, ready to kill them all! This way, they just kept going, without doing anything, their hands were itchy.

Knowing that the opponent has 90,000 soldiers and horses, it must be defending under normal circumstances. Yunqing went the opposite way and sent 3,000 cavalry to attack. Yunqing had the confidence. The combat effectiveness of these cavalry was comparable to those of the Beicap cavalry. Cavalry against infantry is like entering a no-man's land.

Yunqing's behavior was far beyond Leng Bufeng's expectations. Knowing that Yunqing sent cavalry to attack, he couldn't help but cursed: "Crazy, he really is a lunatic." Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, he even took the initiative to attack. Not what a lunatic is.

The cold subordinate said with a sad face: "General, the rebel cavalry is too fierce, we can't resist it at all." These cavalry killed their people, just like cutting winter melons, one by one. He had long heard that the Northwest Army was fierce, but only after fighting each other did he realize that these people were not fierce, but cruel, and they would kill people without blinking their eyes. Sure enough, if there are any generals, they will bring out some 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 30,000 of them with 90,000 people. Pass my order and attack in an all-round way." Three against one, no matter how fierce the Northwest Army is, it will not Might beat him.

Even though his subordinates kept running in to tell him that the situation was unfavorable and the casualties were heavy, he still refused to order the withdrawal of troops. As a result, the battle was fought until dark. It's getting dark, and I can't see it anymore, and I don't want to stop the war.

Covered in blood, Yun Qing said to Guan Tai and Yuan Ying, "Count the casualties." Yun Qing also went to the battlefield in person this time, 30,000 vs. 90,000, it would be impossible not to go to the battlefield in person.

The bodyguard Gao Song came over with two buckets of water, and said to Yunqing: "General, wash and change clothes before eating!" He was worried that Yunqing would feel uncomfortable. Forget it in the past, since he married his wife, the general has been very particular about it.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Let's put the water in the tent!" Just wash it when you go to sleep, there will be no time to take a bath.

The number of casualties was quickly counted, and Yuan Ying said: "General, 1,685 people were killed in battle, and 2,935 people were seriously injured.

Among them, sixty-seven cavalrymen were killed and one hundred and ninety-eight were seriously injured. "The cavalry has the best equipment and the strongest combat effectiveness, so the casualties are the fewest.

Yun Qing said: "Those wounded soldiers must receive proper treatment." He brought all the military doctors with him this time. It's just that in the absence of medical treatment and medicine, it is still difficult to get medical treatment after injury. Once you can't make it through, there is only one dead end.

Yuan Ying said: "The nearby doctors have also recruited, but there are not enough medicinal materials, and the doctors have nothing to do."

Yun Qing was silent for a while, and said to Gao Song: "General Feng Dajun and Yu Cong are all summoned here." Everyone has to hold a meeting to discuss.

When everyone got the news, they rushed over. Feng Dajun was the first to speak, and said: "General, we have heard that there are 40,000 guards in Lanzhou City. How come there are 90,000 troops all of a sudden? Could it be that Ji Xuan also dispatched tens of thousands of troops from the southern city?" gone?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "No. If this is the case, wouldn't Lanzhou City be under the enemy's back? And today's soldier horse is not weak in combat power."

Yu Cong said: "General, if it wasn't for the troops from Nancheng, then Ji Xuan dispatched troops from Shaanxi. But the troops arrived in Lanzhou City in such a short period of time. The speed is fast enough, as if It’s as if it’s been prepared.”

He does not mean that. Feng Dajun said: "General, I was surprised before that no matter how weak the local army is, it is impossible to be led by the nose by 30,000 rebels. Now it seems that Ji Xuan's target is probably you, General."

Yun Qing recalled that Yuxi had told him to buy so much food before, and Ji Xuan didn't respond at all when he passed by the land under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi. This reaction was a bit strange. At that time, Yun Qing also explained to Yu Xi that Ji Xuan was afraid because of what happened back then, but Ji Xuan is afraid now where he wants to come. It is very likely that Ji Xuan did it on purpose. Ji Xuan did this deliberately to create convenience for him to rebel!

Cui Mo was a little strange, and said, "That's not right! That old dog Ji can pinch and count, knowing that my general will turn against the dog emperor?"

When Yun Qing heard this, his expression was very ugly. If it is true what Cui Mo said, then Ji Xuan is probably the one who assassinated Yuxi. Ji Xuan's purpose was to force him to rebel, and he just took the opportunity to eradicate him. Of course, this is just his guess.

Yuan Ying was more careful. Seeing Yun Qing like this, he asked, "General, what's wrong with you?" Look, there seems to be something bad going on.

Yun Qing had already returned to his expressionless face, and said: "As far as our current strength is not enough to attack the city, we have to wait for Du Zheng and his troops to attack the city." They came out to lead the battle, and Du Zheng wanted to bring some things. So take a step back.

On this point, everyone has no objection. After discussing for a long time, everyone also went down to rest. After a day of fighting, it is time to take a good rest.

Feng Dajun went back and forth, saw Yunqing's worried look, and asked, "General, what are you worried about?" Back then they were made dumplings by the captive barbarians, and they would die at any time, the general didn't even frown . This time, it certainly wasn't because Ji Xuan dispatched troops to worry about it.

Yun Qing said: "I'm worried that there will be some changes in Yucheng." Yun Qing is not afraid of Ji Xuan, even if Ji Xuan sends all the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, he is not worried. All the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi Province add up to only 200,000. Excluding the tens of thousands of troops in the southern city, what Ji Xuan dispatched today is already more than half of the soldiers that Ji Xuan could dispatch.

Yun Qing is not afraid to fight Ji Xuan head-on, nor is he afraid to waste money with Ji Xuan, they have enough food until next spring. But Yunqing was worried about what would happen in Yucheng. Uncle Huo, Yuxi and their children are all in Yucheng. Once something happens in Yucheng, the consequences will be beyond his imagination.

Feng Dajun said: "General, General Fu will not abandon you. Besides, even if General Fu has a different heart, there are still Yifu and Weiguo with them!" It is said that the hero is sad about the beauty pass, and his general is sad. Ma'am, it's over.

The two were talking, when the spies sent out came back to report: "General, Leng Bufeng has led his troops back to Lanzhou City."

Hearing this, Yun Qing let go of his anxiety and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Lanzhou City this year." Leng Bufeng withdrew to Lanzhou City to save his strength, and they only have more than 20,000 people now, so they must It is impossible to siege the city. No matter how fast Du Zheng is, he will not be able to catch up with him years ago. So this year, they probably will celebrate the New Year in this small town.

Feng Dajun smiled and said: "What's the matter. Next year, wouldn't it be more beautiful when we celebrate the New Year in Pick City." Pick City is the central city of the Northwest and the most prosperous area in the Northwest. Celebrating the new year in Pickaxe City also means that they have won the final victory.

Yun Qing smiled and nodded.

Leng Bufeng returned to Lanzhou City, saw Ji Xuan, knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, I am incompetent in a lowly position." It's not that he is incompetent, it's that the rebels are too powerful.

Ji Xuan asked: "How many troops were lost this time?"

Leng Bufeng said sadly: "More than 45,000 people were lost." After saying this, Leng Bufeng said again: "My lord, the cavalry of the rebel army is too powerful, one-third of our people are Die at the hands of the opponent's cavalry." Of course, the infantry is also much stronger than them. It's just that compared with the cavalry, there is still a gap.

Ji Xuan didn't comment on this, but said: "How many troops did the opponent lose?" He had already heard about the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army's cavalry, so he was not surprised. What he wants to know now is how far they are from the Northwest Army.

Leng Bufeng said: "The rebel army should have killed or injured tens of thousands of people."

Ji Xuan said: "They counted more than 10,000, and we lost more than 40,000. In this way, it should use four times more troops than the rebels."

Leng Bufeng shook his head and said: "Master, their cavalry casualties are very few this time." Cavalry, that is simply a nightmare for their forward battalion!

Ji Xuan's aide said: "General, the opponent only has more than 20,000 horses left, and they don't have natural dangers and strong walls to defend. We should send troops to attack at this time." If they waited for the follow-up troops of the Northwest Army to arrive, they would be even more passive .

Leng Bufeng knelt on the ground, not daring to ask for a fight. The Northwest Army is too strong, even if he is asked to bring a hundred thousand soldiers to fight, he will not be able to win. So, let someone else do this job! He doesn't get involved. R8
