Chapter 967 Chaos in Cangde County
Ma Teng finally figured it out. No matter what method he came up with in Huaban Mountain, he could only passively deal with Qi Jun's conspiracy.
He had to take back the initiative.
What can be done to get the commander-in-chief of the Qi army to order the Qi army in Huaben Mountain to move?
Ma Teng thought of a way to cause chaos in Cangde County. As long as the situation in Cangde County was beyond Kong Jingzhong's control, he would issue some unreasonable orders.
"Gao Fei, are you going to take the Yulin Army to capture the nearest city? Is there any problem?"
Ma Teng stared seriously at Gao Fei, the leader of the Yulin Army, wanting to hear a satisfactory answer from his mouth.
Gao Fei's answer was not as disappointing as Ma Teng.
"Leave it to me, this city will be destroyed within two days!"
After speaking, Gao Fei led the Yulin Army to leave Huaben Mountain and head to the heavy city closest to the mountain.
Chongcheng was originally called Bug City because the specialty of this city was bugs, all kinds of bugs.
Scorpions, spiders, earthworms, bees, butterflies...
Some are useful, some are useless, some are beneficial and some are harmful. Anyway, there are a lot of bugs here. A group of people who supported their families and made a fortune with bugs established a small town here, and then gradually turned into a small city.
However, they thought the name "Insect City" was unpleasant and changed it to "Chongcheng".
People in Chongcheng don’t know why there are so many bugs around Chongcheng. Why are these bugs so easy to survive?
They attributed this strange phenomenon to Flowerpot Mountain and believed that the existence of Flowerpot Mountain created this magical phenomenon.
So when Zhao Bo led the Qinglong Army to Huaban Mountain and brought the war here, the people in Chongcheng's impression of Qian Kingdom fell to the bottom.
Flowerpot Mountain is the holy mountain in their minds. The Qian people brought the war to the holy mountain, which is their mortal enemy!
In response to the encirclement and suppression of the cadres in Huapen Mountain, the officials and people in Chongcheng did their best, donated money and materials, and contributed money and strength if they had money.
There is nothing wrong with their approach from any angle. What is wrong with surrounding their hometown and surrounding the holy place in their hearts?
However, Ma Teng still decided to take action against Chongcheng. Because of the full support of the people in Chongcheng, the Qi army placed its logistics center here.
The small heavy city stores three months' worth of food for 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as weapons and some armor to arm 30,000 infantrymen.
With these materials alone, Chongcheng can arm a 30,000-strong defense force and defend Chongcheng for at least three months.
Therefore, the Qi army was not worried that the Qian people could break through the heavy city.
The city itself has thousands of defenders, plus the militia that can be armed at any time, making it as stable as a mountain.
But now this Taishan fell, knocked down by a cavalry.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"There are only a little over 20,000 cavalrymen of the Qian Army, and most of them are still waiting outside Huaben Mountain to meet the Qian Army in the mountain. How can they possibly attack a heavy city?"
"It must be a conspiracy by thieves to confuse us with false news and demoralize our military!"
Seeing the general's disbelieving expression and slightly panicked movements, the captain who had just seen off the messenger sighed heavily in his heart.
He couldn't believe it was true. How could five to six thousand well-trained soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people working together be defeated by the Qian people in just two days?
No one can answer the doubts in General Qi's heart, and they may not get the answer until they retake the important city.
The generals of the Qi army in Huapen Mountain did not really want to come out and take back the important city.
Because they suspected that this was a conspiracy by the Qianjun.
Why did the Qianjun cavalry suddenly capture the important city?
Why were they able to break through the heavily defended city in just two days?
If they don't understand the reason why Chongcheng fell, they will definitely not dare to go out and recapture Chongcheng.
If the Qian people can break through the heavy city in two days, they will be able to destroy them in half a day.
The Qian people must have methods they haven't understood yet.
But this is not something they can decide.
The night when the heavy city was captured by the Habayashi Army
On the way, the three generals in Huapen Mountain received command orders from Kong Jingzhong.
"Destroy the cadres in Huaben Mountain as soon as possible, support Chongcheng, and regain control of Chongcheng!"
Even if they don't want to, they can't disobey Kong Jingzhong's order.
The three people had planned to deal with the Ganjun in the mountains tomorrow, but now they have received orders from Kong Shuai and they have to take action tonight.
At this time, Zhao Bo and others have not yet reached the edge of Huaben Mountain. They are still almost thirty miles away from the ambush circle set by the Qi army for them. According to their speed, they will definitely reach the edge of Huaben Mountain before noon tomorrow.
At that time, they had two choices. One was to break through the Qi army's blockade and break through the encirclement head-on.
Counting the support of the cavalry, the probability of them breaking out is still quite high, but the casualties may be greater. After all, they are fighting the Qi army head-on, and they are the disadvantaged party.
The second option is to sneak away from the cliff outside Flower Pot Mountain.
The Qi army will definitely patrol these cliffs, but it is impossible for them to monitor every cliff, because except for a few places where the terrain is relatively gentle, the entire Huabang Mountain is full of cliffs.
It is difficult for the Qinglong Army soldiers to pass through these places, and it is the same for the Qi soldiers. They do not want to patrol these difficult places.
If it hadn't been for the general's order, they would never have come to a place like this.
You have to cut out all the paths you want to walk on. There are no patrols here, they are basically gardeners.
"Sir, why do I feel like we are paving the way for the Qian people!"
"Originally, the Qian people didn't want to leave from here, but when they saw us working so hard to clear the way for them, they might just leave here because they couldn't bear it."
Another Qi soldier next to him said smoothly, "That's good! After we inspect these cliffs, we can just wait here for the Qian people to come to our door!"
When the commander of Qi State heard that his soldiers were talking more and more, he immediately yelled angrily: "Shut up, everyone! Why are there so many complaints? If you have the ability, go and speak to the general and see if you will get a military stick!"
As soon as they heard that they were going to be beaten with military sticks, the Qi soldiers immediately shrank their necks and stopped talking.
After waiting for a while, the Qi army soldier who just spoke dared to continue: "Don't be angry, sir. Aren't we just bored and bored watching our brothers rush on their way, and we're just making everyone bored!"
"If you don't like it, just don't tell me. Don't let your anger break your body!"
Shi Chang glanced at him and knew that this boy was usually in such a careless manner, so he didn't care about him.
And what this boy said is right. The atmosphere in the army is indeed not good recently. They have been continuously defeated by the Qianguo people, and the morale of the soldiers is very low. With this boy here, the atmosphere is not bad.
At least I was in the mood to joke.
"Okay, stop playing tricks and investigate carefully. If the Qian people really want to come out from here, we may be in danger now. Everyone must be more vigilant and don't ignore any detail. The Qian people may have been here earlier than us!"
The words of the Chief of Qi State's warning to his men came true. The Green Dragon Army's scouts had really been here earlier than them.
Zhao Bo planned to lurk out of the mountain from the cliff, so he had to find a suitable place in advance. Seventy percent of the cliffs in the south of Huaban Mountain had been scouted by Qinglong Army scouts.
If there wasn't enough time, they would have scouted all the cliffs in the south, then the west, the east...
There is no way now, not enough time, so we can only find the most suitable breakthrough in limited places.
