Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 126: Destroy the main force of the rebels!

In Ningtong City.

Raising the letter in his hand, Fang Zhe chuckled and said to his generals:

"Everyone, you said you didn't believe what I said that day. Now, in less than ten days, His Majesty will lead his troops to kill Quli and capture Qingyuan. If it were all of you here, would it be possible?"

The faces of the generals sitting on both sides all showed awe-inspiring expressions.

The news that Zhao Yu had asked him to lead his troops to the other side of the Tuochuan Valley spread, and Ning Tongcheng apparently also received it. At the same time, he also heard rumors that His Majesty was afraid of the enemy.

After receiving the news, several generals in Ningtong City were indignant. Although Zhao Yu was the emperor and did not dare to say anything publicly, when they met privately, each one said something uglier than the last.Fang Zhe relied on the prestige of guarding the city for several days to suppress these arrogant and powerful generals.

Now it seems that these guys' faces were beaten so badly by our Majesty.

Sensing the unkind gaze of Yin Shou on the side, no matter how thick-skinned these generals were, they couldn't hold it anymore.

"Well, don't be surprised, General Yin. We don't know His Majesty's methods." A general said sarcastically, "Who would have thought that His Majesty's use of troops is so unpredictable. It is not something that ordinary people like the general can figure out. It seems that, A rough guy like General Mo is only suitable for following orders and charging into battle."

It's almost there!
Yin Shou snorted lightly, withdrew his gaze, cupped his hands towards Fang Zhe and said:
"Fang Dujian has also received your Majesty's instructions. Please follow your Majesty's instructions and send troops to defeat the rebel camp and cut off Naqulang's escape route."

"As it should be."

Fang Zhe said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Yin. As soon as Na Qu Lang leads the army out of the camp, the governor will immediately order troops, and he will never miss your majesty's important event!"

Silent all night.

In the afternoon of the second day, the scouts came to report that the rebel camp in the southwest of Ningtong was hidden in the dust, and they should be taking action.

"Fang Dujian!"

Yin Shou looked at Fang Zhe.

"Call the generals to come to the government office immediately to discuss matters!"

"Here." The guard agreed and turned around to summon the generals.

Soon, all the generals in Ningtong City who had the right to participate in the discussion gathered in the government office.

"We have met the governor!"

All the generals bowed and saluted.

"Everyone is sitting down. I have just received the news that Naqu Lang seems to be planning to send troops. Therefore, I invite you all to come over and discuss sending troops." Fang Zhe said solemnly.

"Captain, what are you still discussing? I'll just beat him!"

A grumpy general said loudly.

There was a shortage of soldiers and horses in the city, and facing the newly rising rebels, the battle to defend the city was extremely difficult, which made all the generals hold back an evil fire in their hearts.Now that I have the opportunity to deal a cruel blow to the rebels, I am naturally excited.

"Fighting requires a strategy." Fang Zhe glanced at Yin Shou and said in a deep voice, "This supervisor knows that you are unhappy, doesn't this supervisor? It can be said that your Majesty's fight was extremely beautiful. , our side cannot lose too much, otherwise when the two armies merge, our side will be inferior. Therefore, we must not only fight, but also fight beautifully!"

After hearing this, Yin Shou curled his lips indifferently.

Is it possible to achieve a great victory like His Majesty's?
Ignoring Yin Shou's gaze, Fang Zhe began to mobilize his troops.

"There are still five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and one thousand are left to guard the city. Zhao Lieutenant, you lead a thousand fine cavalry, together with General Yin, quietly leave the city after dark, with the men holding grass and the horses holding coins, and go straight to the rebels. Army camp; Lieutenant Li led 3000 troops towards Yongdingqiu, ambushing behind the rebels. When they were defeated by His Majesty's troops, he blocked their way and let them taste the feeling of being ambushed serially! "

Fang Zhe has not used these thousand fine cavalry since the war started, for the purpose of future counterattack.Now, it finally comes in handy.

"Here!"

The generals responded with a bang, and each went down to order their troops and horses, preparing for a fight in the near future.

"Thank you, Inspector."

Yin Shou also hugged Fang Zhe.

The other party obviously wanted to share the military merits with him, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.

As a general, if you want to be promoted, in addition to background and ability, the most important thing is military merit.Without enough military merit, no matter how powerful you are and your background is strong, you still won't be able to get into the center!

"Everything General Yin said was for the sake of countering the rebellion, and we should support each other. I also hope that you can help me restrain Zhang Cheng and other arrogant and powerful generals, and don't let them destroy the rebel camp too hard. Yes." Fang Zhe smiled and blinked, and said, "Otherwise, I will have no place to entertain His Majesty's headquarters and those surrendered soldiers!"

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison, and some of the knots they had just felt disappeared with the laughter.

The night is dark and everything is quiet.

Thousands of fine cavalry, led by Zhang Cheng and Yin Shou, quietly left Ningtong, holding grass in their hands and horses in their mouths, and quietly reached a position two miles away from the rebel camp.

"General Yin, these rebels are so bold. They don't even have any scouts posted outside the camp."

It was calm and calm along the way, which surprised Zhang Cheng, who was leading the army.

"After being careless for the past few days, and with Shang Qulang leading the troops outside, it seems that no one in the camp is qualified enough to take charge of the overall situation, and that's why we have the current situation. However, this is a great good thing for us." Yin Shoudao He said, "Next, it's up to General Zhang and the last general. Don't let the other side compete."

Thinking of Li Yuan who was leading the troops on the other side, Zhang Cheng nodded heavily and waved his hand.

The more than a thousand elite cavalry behind them received the order and began to accelerate slowly. Finally, it turned into a rolling torrent of steel, carrying the momentum of a mountain and a tsunami, and rushed towards the rebel camp.

The sound of horse hooves, as dull as thunder, woke up all the remaining rebels in the camp.

However, before they could take any action, the first line of defense outside the camp was instantly overwhelmed.

These rebels never thought that the Chu army, which had been huddled in the fortified city like a tortoise since the beginning, would suddenly attack, and they chose to attack shortly after Deputy Commander Qu led his troops to leave.

Many disheveled and sleepy-eyed rebel soldiers had just come out of their tents. What caught their eyes was a long spear with a cold light.

"kill--"

Zhang Cheng held the Yanyue Sword, and saw a flash of the sword, and a crimson sword slashed out, cutting several rebels blocking the horse in two pieces.

Yin Shou's eyes were condensed, and he kept thrusting out the spear in his hand. Wherever it passed, blood spurted out, and there was almost no one who could stop him!
Facing the cavalry that increased their speed, the rebels who were not effectively organized were unable to resist.

Even if a general organized a small force, in the face of the massed charge of the cavalry, it was nothing more than a mantis' arm acting as a chariot.In this way, under the leadership of two killing gods, more than a thousand fine cavalry destroyed the rebel camp in less than half a cup of tea.

"Come again!"

As soon as the horse's reins were lifted, the war horse raised its hooves and neighed.

The horse's head turned, Zhang Cheng licked his lips, his eyes full of excitement.

"Come again!"

Yin Shou said the same, and on the tip of the spear made of fine iron, drops of bright red blood continued to drip.

"kill!"

Led by the two men, more than a thousand fine cavalry stormed into the rebel camp again.

Wherever iron hooves tread, corpses litter the fields...

When Zhang Chengyin and Shou led their troops to recamp for the third time, the morale of the rebels completely collapsed. They threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The two looked at each other and smiled as they watched their soldiers being held captive in one place.

With one thousand against three thousand, there were only two casualties. Such a record was enough to make the two generals who led the army proud!

Zhang Cheng and Yin Shou's performance was gratifying, and Zhang Xiu and Wang Xiongdan, who went to ambush Qu Lang under Zhao Yu's order, were no less generous.

Wang Xiongdan first defeated Qu Lang's army with an ambush. Zhang Xiu then personally led the Feixiong Army to pursue and kill him. The [-] rebels were defeated under the joint efforts of the two men. Some died, some surrendered, and some fled. Qu Lang was cut off by Wu Song in the midst of the rebel army, and went to meet his clan brother who had first surrendered to the underworld.

The Qu brothers were also unlucky to meet Wu Song, the killer.

Not only that, the fleeing defeated army was blocked halfway by Ning Tongcheng Captain Li Huan with two thousand soldiers and horses. In desperation, they had to abandon their weapons and surrender, with less than [-]% of the people who escaped.

In this battle, all the rebels' mobile forces were completely wiped out.

The remaining rebels have no other way out except huddled in Suilin City and Denglong Pass!

After receiving the news that the ambush was a complete victory, Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction and began to make arrangements for the transfer of the remaining soldiers and a group of prisoners.

After this series of battles, Qingyuan County is no longer the front line of the battle. In addition, the food reserves in Qingyuan County are already stretched thin. He needs to transfer to Ningtong, the capital city of Jiaxing Prefecture, to prepare for the next step of completely wiping out the rebels. At the same time, He also wanted to meet Fang Zhe, the capable military supervisor of Jiaxing Prefecture.

Before leaving, Zhao Yu specially summoned Fan Chen and told him:
"I will be going to Ningtong in the near future. I don't know when we will see you again. You need to study hard and don't let the king or the people down!"

With that said, he asked his bodyguard to fetch a volume of letters and handed them into Fan Chen's hands.

Feeling the heavy weight of the letter in his hand, Fan Chen was extremely moved and gave a solemn salute to Zhao Yu.

"Fan Chen, a common man, will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"

"Don't say these things. You are studying not for me, but for yourself, for the great Chu, and for the common people."

Zhao Yu patted Fan Chen on the shoulder, got on the guard's horse, and left Qingyuan County.

Looking at Zhao Yu's disappearing back, Fan Chen said softly:
"When Fan succeeds in his studies, he will go to Shenjing to repay His Majesty for today's kindness."

"If brother goes, don't forget to take my little sister with you." Fan Rou appeared beside Fan Chen at some unknown time and said shyly, "My little sister has not repaid General Yin's life-saving grace."

Fan Chen glanced at his sister thoughtfully. He always felt that there seemed to be something in his sister's words...

"Fang Zhe, the military supervisor of Jiaxing Prefecture, led by the generals and officers of Jiaxing, pays homage to His Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

When he learned that Zhao Yu was coming, Fang Zhe led all the officials in Ningtong City ten miles out of the city to greet him.

"It seems that it is my fault to trouble you all to come and greet me." Zhao Yu looked at the officials in front of him and frowned slightly.

He has never been happy with these social activities, whether it was in his previous life or in this present life.

"Your Majesty, don't be surprised. This is because the army generals learned that Your Majesty was coming and specifically asked the ministers to lead them together, saying that they wanted to see His Majesty with their own eyes." Fang Zhe said quickly.

"What's so good about me?" Zhao Yu waved his hand, "Isn't it the same as everyone else? They all have one nose and two eyes. I can't have more than one."

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"I appreciate your kindness." Zhao Yu looked at everyone and said solemnly, "The most urgent task now is to completely wipe out the rebels and regain Suilin and Denglong Pass. After the rebellion is suppressed, how long do you want to see me? , I will stay with you as long as you don’t feel bored.”

These words completely turned the chuckle into laughter.

"So, you should do what you should do," Zhao Yu said, looking at Fang Zhe, "Fang Dujian."

Fang Zhe understood, stretched out his hand to guide him, and said:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has arranged your Majesty's residence at the county government office. Please follow Wei Chen."

Hand over the soldiers, horses and prisoners to your generals and let them take them to the original rebel camp.

Although the rebel camp was heavily damaged in last night's attack, with these prisoners as labor force, it would only take a few days to repair it.

Zhao Yu is in front, Fang Zhe is behind, and behind them are Wang Xiongdan, Zhang Xiu, Yin Shou, Wu Song and other generals.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Yu went straight to the point without any politeness and asked:
"I wonder what your dear friends have to say about Po Suilin?"

Fang Zhe shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, Suilin is located to the north of Denglong Pass. It has always been a transit point for transporting grain and grass to Denglong Pass and where General Qu was garrisoned. It is one of the few military towns in the southwest. Suilin City is not only high and deep, but the city is also more There is a large amount of food and grass stored up. Although the two brothers Quli Qulang, the leader of the rebels, were killed in battle, if the rebels cannot get out of the city, it will probably take a long time to break the city."

"Your Majesty, the general can't think of any good ideas other than attacking with force."

Wang Xiongdan also frowned.

"Is there no other way but to attack hard?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he frowned and murmured to himself.

In his opinion, it is best not to use the method of forceful attack, because even if the city is captured in the end, it will probably be a miserable victory.

If Burma hears the news and sends troops at this time, the Chu army, which has just experienced a fierce battle, will become extremely disadvantaged.
