Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 446 Fight against King Mu!

Qin Yizheng led his troops and marched northward when he suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers that a soldier was chasing him from behind, carrying a letter from Zhanjing.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately guessed that there was probably a problem, Ding Junhou and others couldn't decide, so they sent a letter, wanting to make a decision for themselves.

So, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop and wait for someone to come.

Not long after, the soldiers approached, carefully took out the envelope from his pocket, and said in a respectful voice, "My lord, this letter was delivered urgently by my humble servant, Lord Hou."

Qin Yi nodded, stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but ponder.

The things written in the letter are very concise. In one sentence, the Minister of the Ministry of War believes that the two dynasty battles have caused a lot of loss of troops, and there have been vacancies. Soldiers and horses should be recruited to prepare for unexpected events.

It is written later that this matter is important, and Marquis Ding Jun believes that it should be decided by Qin Yilai, so he sent the letter.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then said aloud, "Bring a pen and paper."

Mao Lifu, the captain of the guard who was waiting at the side, immediately arranged the order, and not long after, a guard brought the four treasures of the study.

Spreading the rice paper on the horse's back, Qin Yi picked up the sharp pen, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote on the paper.

The eye-catching Mao Lifu has also arranged for his subordinates to bring envelopes and white wax.

After finishing writing, Qin Yi folded the rice paper in half and stuffed it into the envelope, then took the white wax that had been melted with a fire fold from Mao Lifu, and dripped it on the opening of the envelope.

After completing the wax seal, Qin Yi handed the letter to the person who came, and said solemnly, "Send this letter back, don't make any mistakes!"

The visitor nodded, took the faith, carefully stuffed it into his arms, turned his horse's head, and hurried towards the southeast.

Watching the visitor go away, Qin Yi frowned slightly.

Regarding Ding Junhou's inquiry, his decision was that conscription is possible, but it is appropriate to do so on a small scale and focus on training.

Because the soldiers are fine but not many.

Conscription without training is of little significance.

Originally, he didn't intend to conscript troops. After all, the dynasty continued to fight, and it was supposed to recuperate instead of resorting to military action.

But he faintly felt that there would be many battles in the future.

It is not easy to deal with King Mu alone, let alone Liu Kang and Da Li.

Especially Dali, who was watching from the sidelines, if it wasn't for the civil strife, maybe at this moment, the invasion would have already occurred.

Therefore, when there are insufficient soldiers and horses, it is indeed necessary to recruit some to prepare for unexpected events.

……

Zhaoliefu City, the main hall of the government office.

King Mu sat on the throne and discussed with many generals. A soldier suddenly rushed into the hall and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, Qin Yi has defeated the Ningyou Mountain Bandit and led Dingyue's reinforcements to Zhaolie Mansion. Come!"

All the generals in the hall couldn't help showing worry when they heard the news.

Although they knew that following King Mu and embarking on the road of rebellion, they would eventually meet Qin Yi's soldiers.

But I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

There was no expression on King Mu's dark face, as if he wasn't surprised at Qin Yi's coming.

He glanced at everyone, and said in a cold voice, "Since he dares to come, then I will make Zhaolie Mansion the place where he will bury his head!"

After the words were finished, King Mu made arrangements, "Qin Yi didn't have many troops and was in the early [-]s, so he definitely didn't dare to divide his troops. In this case, our army adopted a two-city strategy, serving as horns for each other, restraining the enemy soldiers left and right, making them exhausted!"

"But now, Anton's reinforcements have been defeated, and two troops have returned. Our army has a strength of more than 20, so we divide it into two places, one with [-] troops, led by me, and one stationed in Fucheng, one with [-] troops, led by Lu He. Stationed in the wall city, the two cities are both strong cities, eighty miles apart, it is the best place to implement the twin city plan!"

"The remaining cities of Zhaolie Mansion can only be stationed by thousands of troops. Most of the food, grass and military equipment in these cities are transported to Fucheng and Bicheng. Focus on the two cities and stick to them. As long as these two cities are not lost, Qin Yi Never dare to divide your troops to attack other cities!"

"In addition, before Qin Yi arrives, strengthen the fortifications of Fucheng and Wall City as soon as possible, and hoard supplies and food for the defense of the city. If there is insufficient food and grass, you can collect it from Li Shu, and strengthen the walls and clear the fields outside the city, and be prepared for a long-term defense!"

After the arrangements were made, King Mu turned his head, looked at Lu He, and said in a deep voice, "Heer, remember, you don't dare to fight on your own. In addition to defending the city, you have to find opportunities to join hands with me and continue to send out surprise troops to attack the enemy. disturb!"

"The enemy soldiers are unbearably disturbed, and there will definitely be flaws. At that time, it will be the day when you and I will win!"

Hearing what King Mu said, a bearded man dressed in a fine attire hurriedly cupped his hands and responded loudly, "I would like to follow the teachings of my father!"

King Mu was nearly forty years old and had no wife or heirs.

And Lu He, because his temperament is similar to him, he is decisive in killing, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, so he is liked by him and adopted as his adopted son.

In order to win King Mu's favor, Lu He, who was already cruel, did a lot of things that angered people.

He knew that King Mu had no heirs, and if the other party conquered the country, he would pass it on to him, so he worked hard and rushed to do the hard and dirty work. He was the confidant of King Mu's confidant.

"The enemy soldiers are approaching, don't delay, get ready for the battle immediately!" King Mu shouted.

Many generals bowed their hands one after another and left the main hall with a resignation, and began to carry out King Mu's order.

Zhaoliefu City and Wall City gradually became like iron walls. The city gates and walls were continuously reinforced, and watchtowers were built one after another. All usable things outside the city, such as trees and houses, were destroyed. King Mu's plan of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was strictly implemented.

In addition, the grain, grass, arrows, and rolling logs from more than [-] cities in Zhaolie Mansion were transported in large quantities to Fucheng and Wall City. These two cities have become like iron barrels, and they have become insurmountable obstacles on Qin Yi's journey to recover Zhaolie Mansion. hills!
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, only when collecting food and grass, some changes occurred in the wall city.

The rebel soldiers, following Lu He's instructions, formed teams of three or four, broke into each house, without asking or asking, took the cloth bags, and directly took away the people's little food.

Regardless of the begging and crying of the people, they directly robbed and killed anyone who blocked them on the spot.

In addition, they took the opportunity to plunder the belongings of the people. What's more, when they saw the beautiful women in the house, they pulled them into the house and committed violence wantonly.

As a result, the whole city is crying and howling, and others can't help but feel sad when they hear it.

Afterwards, the people who had been looted and violently looked at the house full of mess and rice vats that had bottomed out, and felt very sad in their hearts!

How can they survive without food!
Everyone cried and prayed, hoping that Qin Yi would arrive as soon as possible and take back the Zhaolie Mansion. King Mu's tyranny was unbearable for them!

This incident did not cause too much disturbance. After King Mu learned about it, he admired it instead, saying that Lu He had half of his demeanor.

Others questioned, what should Lu He do in order to have the demeanor of King Mu's other half.

King Mu said lightly, "Massacre the city."

His expression was extremely flat, and he even had a smile on his face.

……

A few miles away, looking at the solid wall of the wall city, Qin Yi felt extremely heavy in his heart.

He had already heard that King Mu and his son were extremely cruel, and the people were unbearably tortured, and they all looked forward to his arrival.

Now, he has come.

But he didn't know how long and how much it would cost him to restore the entire Zhaolie Mansion.

What he knew was that King Mu had outstanding achievements and extraordinary resourcefulness, which was by no means comparable to that of ordinary generals.

It is not easy to defeat the opponent, the two strong cities of Fucheng and Wall City.

But no matter what, we must go all out as soon as possible, so that there will be no more tyranny in Zhaolie Mansion!

Gan Zijin, who was standing beside him, asked in a deep voice, "My lord, Bicheng is a fortified city. There are [-] guards in the city. Our army is only in the early [-]s. It is difficult to deal with it. We need to send troops from other towns ?"

When Qin Yi heard this, he pondered.

He had already learned about King Mu's arrangement, and obviously wanted to unite the two cities to restrain his actions so that he would be exhausted and collapsed without attacking.

Under such circumstances, the best way is to besiege the two cities at the same time so that they cannot act together, but the problem is that he does not have so many soldiers.

And the current situation is not suitable for dispatching troops.

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Most of our troops are confined to Liukang, so that Shubei Army Town and Andong Army Town only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, while Dingyue Army Town and Weixi Army Town , there are not many soldiers and horses, and we have to beware of Dali, it is better not to mobilize, or not to mobilize."

Faced with this situation, the whole army can only gather in one place and attack one city. As for the harassment of another city, the only way is to see the tricks, soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them.

Let's see if we can stabilize the battle situation with inferior forces, gradually expand the results of the battle, and then gain the upper hand.

If they bypass the two cities and attack other cities, the rear will be empty, and it is very likely to be attacked by surprise, or the grain road will be lost, which is really a bad idea.

Hearing what Qin Yi said, Gan Zijin nodded helplessly.

There are not many troops, and it will be a little difficult to fight.

Even if we don't mobilize troops now, if we lose the battle, the troops don't want to be mobilized, and we have to mobilize them.

After observing the situation in the wall city, Qin Yi returned to the camp. He had sent an order to set up camp fifteen miles away from the wall city.

In order to avoid being divided and attacked by the enemy, he did not camp on three sides of the wall city, but the whole army was stationed together, located on the south side of the wall city.

In addition to camping, he also sent orders to rush to manufacture the third-generation catapult.

Although both the wall city and the fu city are built of green bricks, and there are urn walls and sheep and horse walls, it is difficult to use catapults to have much effect, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small, and some effects are better than no effects.

Therefore, this catapult, as a means of siege, still needs to be stocked.

Even if the city wall cannot be breached, it is not a small gain to be able to destroy the watchtowers, archery towers, and barracks in the city.

After the camp was set up, Qin Yi summoned many generals to discuss in the big tent.

All the generals had serious expressions on their faces and sat quietly.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yi said aloud, "Our army has just arrived, and the camp has just been set up, and we are not familiar with this place. This is an excellent opportunity for the enemy to attack, but the two cities dare not fight head-on. Move, we should be prepared!"
