Be a master through ancient times

Kou Jing began to pay close attention to this matter after receiving the urgent report from Nanfu. He and the spies who stayed in the capital frequently sent pigeons to send letters, and he frowned at each letter.When he saw the news of the Japanese massacre in the village, he was even more anxious, wishing to change direction immediately and go to Nanfu to protect them in person.

But when he received the letter, he was only a few hundred miles away from the southwest border, and if there were no accidents, he would arrive tomorrow evening.At this time, if he said that he would turn back, not to mention the mountainous military orders to allow or not, it would be unrealistic to say that he was going alone.Along the way of the march, there are dense forests and deep ravines everywhere, and bandits and bandits hide in them. They dare not plunder the army, but they will not let go of the travelers who are walking alone.No matter how powerful Kou Jing is, if she wants to walk this distance alone, she will have to pay a price.

Of course, Kou Jing is not a person who acts on his own will. Although he was restless in his heart, he still talked with Wei Datong, the southwestern defender, in a very calm manner. During the conversation, he did not forget to introduce the heavy weapons they brought.

Due to the limitations of technical capabilities, except for a few large camps equipped with artillery vehicles and firecrackers, Xiao couldn't think of other places at all.The reason why people from the Shenji Battalion were sent to escort the artillery fire this time is mainly to teach Jiuzhu and Langqiong a profound lesson, to show off the prestige of the Great Wei, and to frighten several other countries by the way, so as to prevent their hearts from being overwhelmed. How to take a bite out of Da Wei.

Wei Datong stared eagerly at these cannons and firecrackers, as if a hungry fox saw a plump rooster and almost drooled.

"Master Wei...Master Wei!" Kou Jing called out three times before drawing Wei Datong's attention back, "When can we go to the battlefield to support?"

Wei Datong thought for a while, and then said: "You are marching first, and the reinforcements will arrive in about three to five days. How about waiting for General Li to come and we can discuss it later?"

Wei Datong is a cautious person. What he fears most is getting himself into trouble. He thought that since the imperial court sent someone in charge, he just needs to guard the southwestern border. a crime of ultra vires.

This answer was expected by Kou Jing, but it still made him very uncomfortable.He wanted to drive back the coalition forces earlier, and then immediately rushed to Southern Fujian for support. Now that he was delayed for one more day, it would be even more dangerous there.

After waiting anxiously for several days, Li Zhi and others finally arrived.But after he came, he only focused on enjoying the offerings here, just drinking and having fun, and never discussed sending troops to help for three days.Kou Jing and the others invited two or three rounds of battle, but he turned them all back with a lot of effort, and said some high-sounding words to evade.

"This old man, did he come to fight? Yesterday he received a report of defeat. Does he want to wait for Yuexi to be destroyed before going to the rescue?" Xu Qiaonan was indignant, and he was about to What does it mean to keep them from going to the battlefield?

Kou Jing's heart sank, I'm afraid Xu Qiaonan was right. Rescue after the city is broken is different from rescue when the city is not broken. One can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, while the other is to give charcoal in the snow to turn the tide. When the time comes, the reward after returning to Beijing will definitely not be the same. few.This is probably the idea that Li Zhi played, and that's why he kept blocking them from going.

The poor garrison army and the Yuexi army are still waiting bitterly for the arrival of reinforcements. They just fought a victory when the news of the reinforcements came, but they stayed in place day after day with the reinforcements. , the morale of the soldiers is also getting lower day by day, and they don't fight so hard anymore. Everyone shrinks back, hoping to wait for reinforcements before going to the battlefield, so as not to lose their lives in vain.

If the morale is low, the battle will be defeated, and if the battle is defeated, the morale will be even lower. Seeing that the reinforcements are delayed, this side has fallen into an endless loop.In desperation, Kou Jing directly broke into the garrison mansion and found Li Zhi.

"Bold!" Li Zhi scolded angrily. He also knew the person in front of him, Kou Jing who was promoted to the second level because of his meritorious service in the hunting ground last year.

"General Li, please listen to me." Kou Jing clasped her fists and saluted. Although her posture was respectful, her attitude was a bit tough. Li Zhi felt that he was threatened, and he was unhappy, but he was also a little jealous of his relationship with the Holy Majesty. What if, this person came secretly with an oracle?

He retreated from the dancers and servants with a sullen face, and then signaled Kou Jing to speak quickly.

Kou Jing said: "My lords are aware of the battle situation on the front line now, if we don't help, I'm afraid Yuexi Imperial City will be taken down, and it may be too late to send troops by then."

"Oh," Li Zhi sneered, "I also asked Vice General Kou what you wanted to say, so it's this. Don't worry, they won't be able to take down the imperial city. At most, they will be at the bottom of the city. When we make another move, we will be able to fight." Annihilating them in one fell swoop, in this way, not only does not consume troops, but also solves the dilemma of Yuexi, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Kou Jing was a little disappointed. Li Zhi's promotion to the second-rank general should not be due to his brains. No wonder he didn't send troops for so long.I heard that there used to be a powerful military adviser by his side, but the two had a falling out, and Li Zhi couldn't make it up.

"The general's idea is good, but there are a few things that are inappropriate. First, Yuexi still has two cities in his hands, and they are struggling to support them. Naturally, they can drive the enemy out after the reinforcements arrive. At home, if the reinforcements arrive late and they lose another city until they reach the imperial city, King Yuexi may turn from joy to anger, and transfer the resentment of this humiliation to the reinforcements. If he submits When mentioning this matter in the letter of credence, I am afraid that we have made this trip not only for nothing but for deeds."

They couldn't hide the arrival of the reinforcements, but they didn't move their troops when they came, which led to the siege of their imperial city. In the eyes of King Yuexi, they would probably think that Wei was deliberately watching a joke. hats will definitely be on their heads.

After all, Li Zhi was not a real idiot. Hearing what he said, his face immediately became serious.

"Secondly?"

"Secondly, it is impossible not to waste troops. The general has been fighting for many years, and he should know the importance of morale. If the imperial city is besieged, the morale of the Yuexi army will inevitably fall into a low ebb. When the time comes to recover the city, we can only rely on it." Great Wei Army. Throughout the history of battles, it has always been easier to defend the city than to attack the city. The purpose of our trip is to help them repel the enemy and show our country's prestige. Reputation also gets in the way."

Kou Jing has long been used to silence over the years, and it is rare to speak so much today, and the effect is very significant.Looking at Li Zhi sitting in the seat, his face had changed from the previous casualness to black and ink.

After Kou Jing left, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and in the end he broke out in a cold sweat, soaking the clothes behind him.Yes, as Kou Jing said, it was originally a battle that must be won, but because of the delay in dispatching troops, it caused heavy losses. Don't even think about awarding rewards after returning to Beijing.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directly ordered the military adviser who came up with the idea to be brought in for torture and torture, only to find out that this person was actually a spy from another country.Although they are not from the enemy's side, they also hope to confuse the situation so that the war between several countries will not stop for a while.

Faced with such a result, Li Zhi felt fortunate.He even felt grateful to Kou Jing in his heart, if it wasn't for his suggestion, he might be ashamed when he goes back this time.He is old, and maybe this is the last time he will lead troops to fight in his life. If he really falls for the villain's tricks, his fame will be ruined!

The military adviser was secretly executed. That night, Li Zhi convened a council of all the generals. Early the next morning, the large army broke out and set off towards the Yuexi Kingdom.Wherever they went, the people rejoiced, and they hoped that the Wei army could help them drive away the enemies and restore the peace and stability in the past.

At this time, Ming City, the last city outside the imperial city, had already been destroyed, and hundreds of soldiers had to be sacrificed every time they went out of the city to face off.After a few times, the leader of the Vietnam Analysis Army had no choice but to raise his exemption card to seek a temporary respite.

Outside the city walls are enemies who are constantly taunting. The coalition forces of the two countries have issued an ultimatum. They will launch a full-scale attack early tomorrow morning. If they do not open the door and surrender at that time, they will not leave a single person alive after entering.

The ultimatum was not delivered in the form of a letter. The enemy directly sent a team of troops to stand outside the city wall and shout loudly.In addition to the soldiers guarding the city, the common people nearby also heard it clearly.

In just a few hours, the enemy's statement spread throughout the city.People in the city were in panic, not only the common people, but also the soldiers, but the two sides worried about different things.The common people were worried that the city would be broken and the enemy would slaughter the city, while the soldiers were worried that the city would be broken from the inside.

This move is a tactic to incite the emotions of the common people.After many days of war, the people of Yuexi understood that their country's army was simply powerless to resist the enemy.In this case, tomorrow's battle will be lost, and the disaster of slaughtering the city will befall everyone.Not everyone has the determination to die for the country rather than be a subjugated slave.This is also what the soldiers are worried about.

This night, almost everyone did not close their eyes. The Ming City defenders increased their patrols, especially the two city gates were heavily guarded, and even a fly would not even think about flying past.

But this still couldn't stop the determination of the common people who wanted to survive. Before dawn, they entangled many people and prepared to risk their lives to open the city gate and leave a way for the people in the city to survive.

Facing their relatives with pickaxes and shoulder poles, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably be shaken. Now that reinforcements are delayed, they may have given up on them.At this time, do they still want to disregard the lives of their relatives for the sake of loyalty?

Ma Tianxiang, the deputy commander of Wei's garrison army, watched the scene in front of him coldly, and secretly gave an order that if Yue Xi made any move to open the door and surrender to the enemy, he would be killed immediately on the spot.

Just as the situation became more and more tense, the sound of galloping horseshoes resounded through the streets and alleys of Mingcheng, diluting the tense and cold atmosphere a little.

"Report! The Wei reinforcements are already fifty miles away! They will arrive at dawn!" The scout on the horse shouted loudly, the excitement clearly visible on his face.

"really!"

"It's absolutely true! Please guard the gates of the city, and the enemy must not break through the city before dawn!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and while the common people were cheering, they were inevitably ashamed of what they had just done.However, if they were given another chance, I'm afraid they would still do the same.The Yuexi army didn't care about their previous persecution, and just let them go home and hide, so as not to hurt innocent people.

The generals of Wei did not agree with their actions, but they understood them very well.When loyalty and filial piety are difficult to balance, they don't know how to choose.Fortunately, they don't need to make this decision either.

……

Jiuzhu and Langqiong Army didn't understand why this strategy would fail. Their spies clearly detected a change in the city. Could it be that they have already been killed?

There was a sneer on the mouth of the leader of Jiuzhu, since they are so stubborn, don't blame them for being cruel!When the city of Ming is captured, he will order the massacre of the city. At that time, there will be no chickens or dogs left in the city, and let these Yueyi people know that his words are always the same!

The sky gradually became pale, and the leader of Jiuzhu looked at the sky, raised his hand, and the attack horn sounded immediately.There was a bloodthirsty murderous intent on his face, and in his opinion, they would undoubtedly win this battle.

However, the morale of the Yuexi army, which had trembled when it heard the horn, was boosted by the arrival of reinforcements.They ignored the provocative voices outside the city, and only silently adjusted their positions according to the tactics deployed by Li Zhi.

The Jiuzhu people's bugle had already sounded a few times, and the leader Atona saw that the Yueyan people still closed the city gate and refused to fight, so he directly ordered an attack.

Nine Zhu Kingdom is on the grassland, and they have strong soldiers and strong horses. As soon as the cavalry comes out, they will fight against each other.It's a pity that the cannons on the city wall had already been set up. Following Kou Jing's order, the sound of bombing immediately rang out, and the flat ground in front of him instantly became potholed. Fragments of shells and small stones splashed by small stones rained down on the enemy.

By this time, their proud steeds had turned into scourges.

The horses disturbed by the sound of artillery fire began to lose control, and the soldiers under the city wall who were trampled by the horses wailed everywhere, and they were no longer as vigorous as before.

When the time was right, Li Zhi waved his battle flag, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward from the wide-open city gate...
