Next, Bian Xi and Shao Hongyuan joined forces and headed straight for Xi County out of Xie Valley! However, Xi County occupies a favorable location and is protected by the city. Although Bian Xi and his two men attacked quickly, they could not capture it in an instant!
The Jin Bing camp moved forward to join Hei Khan and Zhuo. Moreover, this time the Jin Bing had no intention of confrontation. Not only did generals send troops to invite battle every day, but Chencang Mountain not far away also became a battleground between the two armies.
place!
In short, it can be said that the Song and Jin Dynasties were tit for tat and refused to give in to each other, but it was difficult to tell the winner for a while!
Compared with the battlefield in Fengxiang Mansion, the Jin soldiers in Xiangyang City were advancing faster! After Wanyan Hao captured Tongbai Mountain and Suizhou, the main army rushed to attack Xiangyang from Aikomenguan in the north and Lumen Mountain in the southeast.
!The surrounding counties and counties have already been easily captured by the Jin soldiers and horses. I am afraid that Xiangyang will become an isolated city before long!
Xiangyang North City, General Zhongwu's Mansion!
There were crowds of soldiers outside the gate, and generals coming from all over the place filed into the gate!
When they arrived at the front hall, a general in Confucian robes came up and sat down!
"See General Xin!"
Yes, this person is none other than Xiangyang Guards General and Lieyang Army Commander Xin Feiguang!
After everyone sat down, Xin Feiguang said in a deep voice, "Today there was a military report. There has been a fierce battle with Jin soldiers at Lumen Mountain and Cabinet Gate for four days. The total casualties were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses! In a short period of time, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
, I think there will be no more reinforcements from the imperial court, so for the time being, we can only rely on me to fight to the death!"
"Now the Jin soldiers are joining forces to attack. Although our army is on the defensive, it still suffers huge casualties. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will not last long before the Jin soldiers will come to the city! Therefore, in addition to increasing troops in these two places, we also need to increase troops in other places.
Advance troops in this direction to contain the power of the golden soldiers!"
"So, we first need two troops and horses, each with five thousand people, to go to Aikomen Pass and Lumen Mountain respectively to support the local garrison! Secondly, we will need one troops and horses to go south to Xincheng and Guanzitan.
Shiliang Mountain, Yicheng area, and attack the Jin soldiers from this direction, so that they cannot attack Lumen Mountain with all their strength!"
"The order requires an army of troops to go north to Fancheng, Niushou Town, and Dengcheng Town, and attack the Guanghua area to threaten the Jin soldiers' retreat, preventing the Jin soldiers from completing their mission!"
After finishing speaking, Xin Feiguang glanced at the generals, "I wonder which generals are willing to go! This battle is related to the safety of the entire Xiangyang area. If it succeeds, Xin will definitely report to the court and ask for credit for you!"
However, when faced with Xin Feiguang's question, the eyes of all the generals in the hall were wandering, and no one stood up to answer!
Seeing this, Xin Feiguang frowned and his eyes flashed coldly, "What?
Don’t you want to serve the imperial court?
Still unwilling to obey this general’s order?”
As soon as he said this, a general laughed, stood up and said, "General Zhongwu, there may be something wrong with this statement!"
"Which one of you here is not a general selected by the imperial court?
Which one doesn’t fight to the death for His Majesty?”
"As for the general's military orders... Hehe, General Zhongwu's rank is higher than ours, but he is just the guard general of Xiangyang! We respect the general and are loyal to the imperial court, so we came to support, but the order is
Military orders from the imperial court and the commander-in-chief! General Zhongwu wants to order me to wait with military orders, but I’m afraid it’s not even close!”
Having said this, the general sneered and said in a cold voice, "In addition, the Lieyang Army is the main army here, and we are the guest army. So far, the Guanghua Army has suffered more than 60% damage, and the Zaoyang Army has been completely wiped out. We and the others All the brothers under my command have also suffered injuries. Only General Zhongwu’s Lieyang Army is guarding Xiangyang City. Not to mention injuries, I’m afraid not a single soldier has actually participated in the battle so far!”
"I am not afraid of General Zhongwu's grudge, so I made it clear that this time, General Zhongwu's Lieyang Army must occupy two of the four armies, otherwise, I will never send out a single soldier!"
In an instant, all the generals started making noises! It’s not their fault. Apart from the Lieyang Army, all the guest troops here came from various places to support them. However, from the beginning to now, Xin Feiguang pressed all the generals to send troops. Regarding the battle between the Guanghua Army and the Zaoyang Army, no reinforcements were sent out, which directly caused serious injuries to the Guanghua Army and the Zaoyang Army!
How could the other soldiers and horses not be miserable?
Therefore, this time they had already secretly discussed that they must let the Lieyang Army send troops!
A cold light flashed in Xin Feiguang's eyes. He naturally had a purpose in weakening the army! This time, Shen Tang was the commander-in-chief, ranking above him. Although Shen Tang did not come at the moment, when Shen Tang arrived, Naturally, Shen Tang is the leader! If it were anyone else, he wouldn't worry. With the reputation of General Xiangyang and General Zhongwu, he is no weaker than anyone else.
However, there is no grudge between him and Shen Tang!
Although several years have passed since the incident that year, as the saying goes, the hatred for killing the father is the hatred for taking away the wife! He did not believe that Shen Tang would be so generous as to forget this incident! So, when Shen Tang came, Not to mention suppression, even if he was ordered to use his Lieyang Army as cannon fodder, he had to obey the military order!
Therefore, in order to deal with the future situation, he must be prepared!
Now, the armies of Xiangyang City are gathering together. As long as he can firmly hold these soldiers, horses and generals in his hands, in the future, even if Shen Tang arrives, he will not dare to bully them too much. In addition, he is the main army of the local army, even if Even if Shen Tang is the commander-in-chief, he must be given three points! However, he obviously suppressed these visiting troops very hard!
Originally, all the armies had no subordinates, but now, who can't see that Xin Feiguang is suppressing other soldiers?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xin Feiguang thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Yushan, I've said that too much! This time the Jin soldiers went south brazenly, and I was stationed in Xiangyang. I couldn't sleep at night, for fear that Xiangyang would be lost! In addition, The Lieyang Army has been stationed in Xiangyang for many years, and the lieutenant general is also familiar with the defense of Xiangyang. Therefore, I have ordered the Lieyang Army to be on standby at all times and do not dare to relax!"
"This is also the reason why I had to ask brothers to help me in the previous battle with Jin! However, since you have already misunderstood, let's follow Brother Yushan's words! We will send eight thousand soldiers and horses to the north and south to contain Jinbing! The reinforcements from Aikomenguan and Lumenshan will be helped by you, how good is that?"
Although everyone was still a little dissatisfied, Xin Feiguang was the chief general here and even had the power to allocate grain and grass. Therefore, they did not dare to force him too hard! Therefore, everyone agreed.
Afterwards, the generals discussed again, and each army allocated some troops and horses. Finally, they gathered 10,000 reinforcements from both sides, and then they dispersed!
"Asshole!"
After the generals left, Xin Feiguang shouted angrily, "When I, the general, take control of the situation here, I will make you surrender under my command and let you be slaughtered!"
