Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Seven [One Husband Dangguan] (Part 2)
After reorganizing the team, they reorganized and advanced towards Bailakou. When they arrived at Bailakou, Xiong Tianba had already left with the one hundred brothers.
Dawn arrived unknowingly. After a night of hard defense, Dongliang County successfully blocked three attacks by the Yong Army. In the middle of the night, the snow stopped and freezing rain began. This made the Yong Army soldiers miserable. Qin Yangming discovered this
This siege battle was much more difficult than he expected. God was not in his favor and was never on his side. At dawn, a piece of news was confirmed. Dongluocang had been attacked by Hu Xiaotianqi. This news made Qin Yangming extremely nervous.
, he knew what it meant when Dongluocang failed.
Counselor Zhai Yuan had already guessed Qin Yangming's mood at this time from his livid face, so he did not dare to speak actively and waited quietly aside.
Qin Yangming asked: "How many days can our food and grass last?"
Zhai Yuan whispered: "Two days!"
Qin Yangming looked at the smoke-filled towers of Dongliang County not far away. If he persisted in attacking the city, he might be able to capture Dongliang County within a day, but what about after that day? What about Dongluocang? If Dongluo cannot be recaptured
warehouse, then there will be problems with their military supplies. Even if they are far superior to the opponent in terms of military strength, how can they fight on the premise of being hungry? Hu Xiaotian was indeed ruthless, cutting off his escape route by taking fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
Lieutenant General Yang came to report earlier, with a somewhat panicked expression: "General, there are a hundred warships from Wuxing County heading towards Dongliang County. They should be sending reinforcements."
Qin Yangming's mood became heavier and heavier. Wuxing County dared to send troops probably because he heard the news that Dongluocang was taken. The situation became more and more unfavorable for them. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to clear out the pain in his chest.
This suffocating breath was squeezed out. However, this deep breath not only failed to achieve the goal, but made his heart become heavier and heavier, so heavy that he was about to suffocate. He turned to Zhai Yuan, who hurriedly lowered his head. Zhai Yuan was not afraid.
Qin Yangming's power is because he doesn't want to show off at this time. He has always secretly criticized Qin Yangming's tactical arrangements in his heart. Sending an army of this size and striving to be foolproof was originally a fuss over a molehill. The fall of Dongluocang was also caused by Zhai Yuan.
Unexpected. In his opinion, Hu Xiaotian's attack on Dongluocang was only theoretically possible, but he did not expect that the other party would actually dare to put it into practice and achieve success.
"What do you think?" Qin Yangming squeezed out something through his teeth. When he was in such a predicament, the first thing he thought of was not to blame himself. Instead, he complained that the counselors and staff around him were useless and could not guess the opponent's tactics.
Zhai Yuan said: "There is no room for loss in Dongluo Cang. Even if we capture Dongliang County, we still cannot explain to the court if we lose Dongluo Cang."
Qin Yangming said angrily: "What do you need to say? I'm asking you, what should you do now?"
Zhai Yuandao: "Gather all the troops to attack Dongluocang. We must recapture Dongluocang within one day."
Qin Yangming bit his lip. In fact, Zhai Yuan didn't need to say it, he knew what he should do. Under the current situation, what other choice did he have? Qin Yangming closed his eyes forcefully, feeling the icy rain falling on his face bit by bit.
On his face. His face seemed to be numb: "Withdraw!"
Yu Tianxing saw the Yong army besieged at the two gates in the northeast began to retreat in an orderly manner, and knew that the other side had confirmed the news that Dongluocang had been breached. This news must have destroyed Qin Yangming's confidence and made him unwilling to fight.
After Qin Yangming came down, all he could do was to make a desperate move and assemble his army to counterattack Dongluocang with all his strength, trying to regain Dongluocang.
Hu Zhongyang and Tang Tiehan both came to Yu Tianxing's side and looked at the Yong army retreating outside the city gate. Their faces showed joy, and Hu Zhongyang said: "Mr. Yu, are they retreating now?"
Yu Tianxing smiled and said: "Qin Yangming has no choice. Dongluo Cang has been captured by the lord. Without Dongluo Cang, their army will lose supplies. If they continue to stay here, they will face an embarrassing situation that is unsustainable. When the time comes, don't leave."
It is said to be 70,000, even if it is an army of 700,000, it will collapse without attack!" Yu Tianxing's expression was full of confidence, and Hu Zhongyang secretly sighed in his heart, Hu Xiaotian is really a man of great blessings, not only does God help him, but he also has Yu by his side.
A talented person like Tianxing, who was as smart as a demon, thought he was lucky to have defeated the 30,000 Nanyang navy commanded by Tang Boxi before, but this time he easily retreated from the encirclement of Qin Yangming's nearly 70,000 army. This kind of strategy is really rare in the world.
With such counselors around Hu Xiaotian to help him, why worry about everything happening?
Hu Zhongyang was still doubtful about Hu Xiaotian's capture of Dongluocang, and whispered: "Dongluocang was captured by Mr. Hu?"
Yu Tianxing smiled and nodded: "It's absolutely true. If everything goes well, General Zhao Wusheng's 5,000 troops have already entered Dongluocang to join the Lord's guild."
Chang Fanqi was still standing in front of the west gate and yelling. At this time, a spy came over to report to him, but it turned out that a large army had arrived at the west gate of Dongluocang and entered the city through the west gate.
Chang Fanqi gritted his teeth and prepared to command his men to march to the west gate. Even if he died in a bloody battle, he would die in Dongluocang. He lost Dongluocang inexplicably. It was obviously his own territory, but now he was shut out. Chang Fanqi
Fan Qi has never suffered such a defeat in his life.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the deputy general beside him say: "General, look!"
Chang Fanqi raised his eyes and saw several soldiers accompanying a gray-haired old lady standing there on top of the city tower. Chang Fanqi could see clearly that the old lady was his mother. Old Lady Chang
The man was old and had been blind for many years. He couldn't see everything in front of him, so he whispered: "Where is Qi'er? Where is Qi'er?"
Chang Fanqi was worried to the extreme, but he did not dare to shout loudly for fear of scaring his mother. He was raised by his mother and was extremely filial. Now that he saw his mother being controlled, he wished he could grow wings under his ribs and fly to the top of the city to rescue her.
Mother.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded to Chang Fanqi, supported Mrs. Chang's arm and said: "Aunt Chang, the general is practicing outside the city. It's windy upstairs. Why don't you take aunt down to take shelter from the wind and keep warm? If General Chang sees it,
, he will definitely blame us."
Mrs. Chang said: "Didn't you say that Qi'er is here?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Madam, please go down and rest first. When the general is finished, I will ask him to see you immediately."
After the old lady left, Hu Xiaotian came back to the arrow stack, looked at Chang Fanqi who was glaring at the city and said: "General Chang, have you seen this? The old lady is very kind, I will definitely take good care of Yu on your behalf.
You don't have to worry about her."
Chang Fanqi raised his eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand, pointed at Hu Xiaotian and said: "Hu Xiaotian, you despicable villain, you actually arrested my mother, I will cut your body into thousands of pieces, crush your bones and spread ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I heard that General Chang is a filial son. The most respected thing by Hu is a loyal minister and a filial son. But since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and people often have to face such a dilemma." He told Zhan Peng.
He winked.
Zhan Peng bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow diagonally downwards. The arrow inserted into the ground about three feet in front of Chang Fanqi's horse. The guards in front of the horse rushed forward to pick up the arrow and took it away.
He came back and presented it. Chang Fanqi took the feather arrow. There was a small bamboo tube tied to the arrow shaft. After taking it off and unscrewing it, there was a note with a line of small words written on it: "Qin Yangming's life in exchange for the old lady's life."
Life!"
Chang Fanqi took a breath of air, closed the note, and looked around. No one dared to approach him to peek at what was written on the note. This Hu Xiaotian was so cruel that he actually asked him to kill Qin Yangming to save himself.
Mother's life.
Hu Xiaotian smiled on the tower and said: "General Chang, you should understand what I mean. The sea of suffering is boundless and there is no turning back. If you lose Dongluocang, it will be a death penalty for you to be beheaded if you go back. Why not surrender to me? I will guarantee you prosperity, wealth, and a safe life."
"He was full of energy. From such a distance, his voice reached Chang Fanqi's ears clearly.
Chang Fanqi said angrily: "Despicable and shameless!" Although he was resentful in his heart, he did not dare to order an attack. At this time, the deputy general said: "General, the troops are ready. Do you want to go to the east gate to block the Kang army?"
Chang Fanqi glared at him fiercely: "Are you in charge here or am I?"
"General..."
It was Zhao Wusheng and his 5,000 troops who entered Dongluocang from the east gate. Hu Xiaotian's troops in Dongluocang had increased to nearly 8,000. With the help of Jiang Yunfu, a surrender, they quickly found out.
The general situation of Dongluocang is that it not only has abundant grain and grass reserves, but also has two weapons depots with enough weapons to equip an army of 50,000 people.
After occupying Dongluocang, they did not dare to slack off at all and immediately began to deploy city defenses. It would not take long before Qin Yangming's army would arrive one after another. This time they would definitely make a desperate move and attack Dongluocang at all costs.
Hu Xiaotian began to take turns to rest. According to their initial grasp of the situation, even if they sit here and have nothing, there will be no problem if their eight thousand people guard it for twenty years. With the grain and grass in Dongluo Cang as a backing, relying on Dongluo
With the strong city walls and towering archery towers of Cangcang, they were full of confidence even in the face of Qin Yangming's 60,000 troops. After the heavy snow, there was freezing rain, and the temperature dropped sharply. The city was well fed and clothed, but these Yong troops outside the city quickly
There will be a shortage of food and grass, not to mention the sudden freezing rain that wetted their cotton-padded clothes. The harsh weather is more lethal than the army. If Qin Yangming insists on attacking the city, Yong's army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Hu Xiaotian waited for work, but Chang Fanqi turned against him because his mother was controlled by Hu Xiaotian. Although he continued to let the soldiers scold him, he did not dare to attack the city easily. The first to come for reinforcements were more than 10,000 troops brought by Huang Chengcheng. These troops were affiliated with
When Chang Fanqi's men saw that Dongluocang was indeed occupied by Kang's army, Huang Chengcheng secretly complained that something was wrong, and he did not dare to attack the city easily.
