Chapter 1,280 The War in Wei County Begins
Huangfu Chaobo thought about it and felt that the cavalry was still not enough, so he also sent out the five thousand ordinary cavalry in Luoyang City. In this way, all the cavalry in Luoyang had been sent out, except for the Yuanrong crossbowmen and iron soldiers of the Guards. Eagle warriors can be used as cavalry, so there is no need to worry about not having fast mobile troops.
Originally, Huangfu Chaobo wanted to send out Yuanrong's crossbowmen, but he was stopped by Guo Jia. Now that Qi's movements are still unclear, he cannot send out all Luoyang's troops.
After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo agreed to his approach. However, in addition to the reinforcements sent, after discussing with several people, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Dong Fang, deputy general of Baotao Camp, to lead a total of 10,000 troops from the two schools to station in Dangyin County in case of emergency. However, only one school of soldiers and 15,000 Hanoi garrison soldiers led by Qiao Rui, the captain of Hanoi, were left in the city of Hanoi for defense.
Regarding the arrangement of troops and horses at Fukou Pass, Huangfu Chaobo also agreed to Zhao Yun's proposal and increased the number of troops at Fukou Pass to 10,000. Not only that, he also ordered the strengthening of the defense of Wuzhishan Pass.
"When can Shangjun's soldiers and horses return?" Huangfu Chaobo asked again; ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.
"General Shi'a, when will Shadow's contact point in Fushi City be established?"
"Reporting to the king, I have sent someone to bring ten carrier pigeons. The pigeon message should be sent back in the next few days. However, to establish regular contact, it will take about a month to train the carrier pigeons."
"Well, once you receive the news from Shangjun, tell them to end the war as soon as possible. Tian Yu will be temporarily responsible for Shangjun's affairs. Hua Xiong and Shegan will immediately lead their troops back and order the navy to rush to Hedong to pick up the two infantry. The army asked them to board the ship at Hejin Ferry in Pishi County. Hua Xiong led the cavalry to Jiguan and returned to the station as soon as possible. He replenished his troops as quickly as possible and waited for the next order. By the way, between Qi State, Wu State and Langya Army. Is the war still the same as before?”
"promise!"
"Send the order, mobilize the troops of the whole country, and prepare for the battle. Both Wei and Zhao have sent troops. It is estimated that some people will be unable to sit still." Huangfu Chaobo ordered again; thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that it happened just a while ago He signed a non-aggression pact with Qin and finally stabilized his west. Otherwise, it might be another encirclement from all sides.
"Okay, let's start taking action. The army will set off immediately and go to Hanoi to join the five thousand cavalry. Then they will rush to Dangyin and wait for Zhao Yun's response. By the way, Chuan Gu ordered He Ruobi to take his golden eagle to accompany the cavalry. After the expedition, all the troops and horses arrived at Wei County, and they all obeyed Zhao Yun's command. Zijing, please go out with the army and serve as military counselor!"
"Wei Chen takes orders!" Lu Su heard this and quickly stood up to take orders.
"The Prime Minister has arranged the materials needed for the army to go on the expedition, and everyone else will perform their duties and cooperate fully. No one can stop them from slacking off. Anyone who dares to slack off will be killed without mercy!" Seeing Huangfu Chaobo's murderous look , everyone was in awe.
"promise!"
"Okay, everyone, let's disperse!" After saying that, Huangfu Chaobo gestured to Guo Jia and Xun You, and they both stayed. The rest of the people left the palace and started busy themselves.
…
Wei County, in a mountain forest twenty miles away to the west of Wei County, Zhao Yun led 11,000 white horse soldiers and rushed here. After leaving Yecheng, Zhao Yun did not go directly to Handan, because Lu Bu's cavalry had already appeared in Handan. If his more than 10,000 cavalry were caught by Zhao's cavalry, there would be no chance to take care of the defenders of Wei County. After thinking about it for a moment, , Zhao Yun led the cavalry to Wei County.
Wei County originally had 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 defenders.
However, after Huangfu Chaobo adjusted the troops and horses of Longxiang Camp, another school of soldiers was added, so there are now a total of 15,000 troops in the city. The reason for this arrangement is that the city of Wei County is isolated and helpless, and the nearest cities around it are Fanyin and Yang'an, which are also hundreds of miles away.
But Handan is different. Handan is only fifty miles away from Fukou Pass and Liangqi City. Now there are 10,000 troops garrisoned at Fukou Pass and 5,000 troops stationed in Liangqi City. In addition, there are 13,000 troops stationed in Handan City. The number of troops in these three places reached nearly 30,000, so Zhao Yun was more assured about Handan's defense.
It was almost dark at this time. Zhao Yun did not rush into Wei County, but stopped in the wild. He did not want to expose his cavalry to the Wei army so quickly. If the Wei army discovered it now, they would definitely attack him overnight. He told Lu Bu his whereabouts, and Lu Bu would definitely come overnight, so he would have no choice but to evacuate, so he planned to hide here for the night. Wen Chou's army would definitely attack the city tomorrow, and then he would lead the cavalry to raid the Wei army. For the defenders in the city, the effect will be huge.
However, he did not forget to get in touch with the city. After the cavalry hid, Zhao Yun immediately sent a team of cavalry to quietly rush to the city. He told the garrison general Geng Wu that he had arrived, and told Geng Wu his strategy. , which can also make Geng Wu feel more at ease.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, on May 1st, two armies of the Wei army launched attacks on the two cities of Handan and Wei County in the Tang Dynasty. However, Lu Bu, the monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, actually led tens of thousands of cavalry to help in the battle. , the two families jointly launched a war against Tang State. For a time, the world was shaken, and countless people turned their attention to the land of Hebei.
In the east of Wei County, Wen Chou led 40,000 soldiers and 10,000 civilians to the outside of the city. Seeing the city in front of him, Wen Chou ordered: "Pass the order, General Zhang Nan led 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 civilians to attack the north city of Wei County. General Jiao Chu led Ten thousand soldiers and two thousand civilians attack the south city of Wei County, and I will personally attack the east city!"
Soon, more than 20,000 troops separated from the central army and headed towards the North City and South City. Wen Chou also ordered the soldiers and horses from the East City to start attacking the city wall.
After the army's attack on the city began, the military advisor Feng Ji said: "General, it is best to send thousands of cavalry to monitor the situation around Wei County to prevent the Tang army's cavalry from suddenly attacking."
"Military advisor, there is no need for this. Don't you have King Zhao's 30,000 cavalry? If Zhao Yun's more than 10,000 cavalry dare to come out at this time, aren't they afraid of being wiped out by Zhao's cavalry?" Wen Chou said;
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Although Lu Bu's cavalry has arrived in Handan, they have not found Zhao Yun's cavalry yet, so..."
"Okay, Wen Ding, you will lead a thousand cavalry to search for the situation within twenty miles around Wei County. Once you find the Tang army cavalry, you will immediately send a warning!" Although he felt disapproval in his heart, Wen Chou thought about it and agreed to Feng Ji. On his suggestion, he sent a thousand cavalry of his own bodyguards to guard Wei County. In his opinion, a thousand cavalry guard was enough. starter
