Chapter two hundred and seventy third sound east and west
"The Xi family split into two branches more than a hundred years ago. The branch that entered Chenzhou has been multiplying for hundreds of years. By the time of Xiying's generation, there were only over a thousand members of the clan, and none of them were able to join the list of major surnames in Chenzhou. However,
, Xiying was a man of great scheming, and he had ten sons, all of whom were powerful and brave. When they reached adulthood, Xiying made each of them rule his own village. In just a few years, the small village was replaced by the middle village.
The Zhongzhai was replaced by the Dazhai, and the territory in Chenyang County and the west of Xupu was taken over. The people under the rule also expanded to more than 20,000 people. The person who guarded the old leader was Xiying's seventh son, Xishehu.
, is also the strongest among the ten sons of Xiying, but he has a bad temper. Sometimes Xiying can't do anything to him! Xishehu was originally the leader of Jiming Village, and now Xiying personally takes charge of Jiming Village.
, but sent Xishehu to guard such an insignificant place as Nanpo Village, there must be another conflict!"
Xi Xunqiao pointed at the armored man who broke the siege and fled to the north slope of Laolongtou with dozens of troops, and introduced some situations of the Xi clan in Chenzhou to Han Qian.
Han Qian summoned Xi Xunqiao to Longya City in September, hoping that unlike Yang Zaili and Xiang Jianlong, he could serve Xuzhou, but Xi Xunqiao had various worries in his heart.
In particular, he did not quite believe that the Han family and his son were loyal to the Chu court, and he was not willing to help the Han family and his son seize Xuzhou. Xi Xunqiao was different from most of the generals and chiefs. He had read poems extensively.
The book prefers that the world can be unified one day, rather than the overlords and princes cutting the world into pieces.
After Zheng Hui arrived in Xuzhou, on the one hand, he washed the firewood to confirm the reduction of the vassal state, and confirmed that the Han family and his son were indeed loyal to the Chu court. On the other hand, he also confirmed the court's determination and investment in reducing the vassal state. At this time, he even helped Wu Ling.
It is impossible for the army to worry about liquidation after failure.
So at this time, Xi Xunqiao told Han Qian some secrets about Chenzhou's surname - this was something that even Han Qian's previous scouts could not understand in a short period of time.
Han Qian took the telescope and saw Kong Xirong getting up from the ground. From a distance, there seemed to be nothing serious. Then he listened attentively to Xi Xunqiao's introduction to the Chenzhou general.
The armored man was half a head taller than Kong Xirong. He was entangled by more than a hundred armored soldiers led by Zheng Xingxuan and Kong Xirong. Unexpectedly, a heavy hammer knocked Kong Xirong to the ground. While the surrounding soldiers stepped forward to rescue Kong Xirong, they tore him apart.
Break through and lead the remaining soldiers to break out of the siege.
Naturally, Han Qian had already arranged to collect and analyze intelligence about Xiying and his ten sons, but he did not really pay attention to the legend about Xishehu's ability to lift a thousand pounds, thinking that those were either rumors and exaggerations, or Chen's story.
The Zhou Xi clan deliberately released rumors to scare other forces.
It was at this moment that he truly trained the armored man to shoot the tiger. The people of Chenzhou called him the bravery of the tiger-shooting general and were deeply shocked.
Kong Xirong is already one of the few brave generals on their side, and Xishehu has been entangled with a stick of incense by many armored soldiers, and has been hit by seven or eight incense sticks on his shoulders, back and abdomen, and the armor on his body is almost stained by the blood seeping out.
Hong, in this situation, he could still absolutely suppress Kong Xirong in terms of strength!
This also gave Han Qian a new understanding of the bravery of Chenzhou generals.
Although Xiying's other sons may not be as brave as Xishehu, but even if they reach the level of Tian Cheng and Kong Xirong, and can be so brave and fearless in death, they can lead the troops into battle. What a heavy price they have to pay.
Only then can we capture Jiming Village?
Even if they captured Laolongtou's Nanpo Shizhai, they had to pay hundreds of casualties, and Jiming Village was far from comparable to Nanpo Shizhai.
The location of Jiming Village on the northern slope of Longya Mountain is equivalent to the water diversion weir of Wuliu River. Chenshui, the largest tributary of the Yuan River in Chenzhou, passes through the north of Jiming Village.
Chenyang was established as a county very early, and local and foreign people also managed Chenshui very early, inhabited and multiplied. Jiming Village is the second largest city after Chenyang City. There are hundreds of villagers in the village alone.
Household residence.
Since Chenyang City is close to the Yuanshui River, the influence of the Hakka people is relatively strong, so the Xi family deliberately developed Jiming Village as the main village. They didn't know how much money they invested in just building the city wall these years.
At this time, Xiying gathered more than 2,000 soldiers in Jiming Village. In addition, there were more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Chenyang City at the mouth of Chenshui River, which was not as strong as Jiming Village.
If the defenders in Jiming Village and Chenyang City were as brave as the soldiers in Nanpo Shi Village, what price would they have to pay to capture these two key areas?
Seeing Kong Xirong come back, Han Qian and Feng Liao walked over and saw that the cardioprotector on his chest was smashed into a large piece. They called the doctor over and confirmed that Kong Xirong's sternum and organs were OK before letting him go.
rest.
"I'm afraid Chenyang City won't be able to attack Jiming Village by force." Feng Liao said to Han Qian hesitantly.
Han Qian seems to have handed over the military power now, but he has worked hard to produce more than 3,000 soldiers. If he suffers a slight loss, he will be heartbroken. At this time, he also understands better that some generals try their best to conserve their strength, and sometimes it is not pure.
He is afraid of death and timid, and most of the time he really doesn't want to give up this little family fortune.
Naturally, he did not want to see Zheng Hui command the Wuling Army to attack Jiming Village and Chenyang City, but if he did not attack by force, how would the battle be fought?
At this time, Nanpo Village was defeated, and the remaining soldiers fled to Jiming Village. Zheng Hui wanted to summon the generals to discuss the gains and losses of this battle. He then cleaned up Nanpo Village and cleared out the accumulated trees and rocks in Laolong Gorge.
, so that soldiers and horses can enter Chenzhou through Laolong Gorge, this is something Han Qian needs to take care of.
With the help of Feng Liao, Chen Jitang, Du Junyue, Zhao Qi and others, Han Qian did not need to personally deal with these complicated matters. It was just that he did not want to interfere with Zheng Hui's command as the general at this time, so he deliberately spent time here. No
Join Zheng Hui in convening the generals to summarize and review the war.
Before dark, the passage to Laolong Gorge was cleared, and one armored soldier of the Wuling Army camped at the north entrance of Laolong Gorge, while another armored soldier stationed at the half-broken Nanpo Village, so there was no need to worry about the enemy troops daring to come and attack the camp at night.
When it got dark, Han Qian came over in person to check the camp and sentry post at the north entrance to confirm whether there were any flaws. At this time, Zheng Hui sent someone over to ask him to go to the Nanpo Village.
Half of the walls of Nanpo Village were damaged, and seven or eight of the few Diaojiao Villages in the village were destroyed. They were roughly packed up and used as the Wuling Army's forward command hall, which was also very crude.
Han Qian walked into the hall. Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Zhang Ping, Zheng Xingxuan, Yuan Guowei and others had been summoned by Zheng Hui. After saluting, Han Qian sat down behind the long desk opposite Zhang Ping.
"We are afraid that the generals of the Wuling Army will not be able to withstand such heavy casualties if we attack Jiming Village by force. We have to come up with a strategy to lure out the soldiers from Jiming Village!" Zheng Hui got straight to the point and went directly to the topic to discuss the follow-up battle plan.
"Master Zheng also knows why my father and I asked Master Zhang for help to lure the four surnames to attack Yingyu Village, right?" Han Qian spread his hands on the long case and said, "The terrain around Jiming Village is more
The area around Yingyu Village is even more dangerous, which is not conducive to laying out war equipment. If the more than 2,000 soldiers stationed there are as brave as the soldiers guarding Nanpo Village today, they may even consume all the Wuling Army and they may not be able to defeat them.
Mingzhai is a real wall made of bricks and rammed earth. Even if you build a large cyclone cannon, you can't even think about knocking down a corner in ten days and a half. And two thousand brave soldiers will not obediently guard the city.
Here, just sit and watch as we continue to bombard them with tornado cannons outside the village!"
"We really have to attack Jiming Village honestly. If we don't want too many casualties, it will take at least a month to defeat it. However, the soldiers and horses assembled by Tanzhou in Wuling County are the fastest.
But it only takes five or six days to reach Chenyang up the Yuanshui River," Zheng Hui said. "I'm wondering if there is any way we can lure the soldiers out of Jiming Village? But I heard about Xiying.
You are so scheming, Mr. Han, do you have any clever plan that can make the soldiers fall into the trap?"
"..." Han Qian was just about to find an excuse to dismiss the matter. Zheng Hui smiled and said, "The victory in the Xichuan battle was all due to your design to severely defeat the elite Liang army. The situation in Xuzhou was calmed down so quickly, all because of Mr. Han.
Using clever strategies. It may be okay for me to lead the troops to attack the city and take out the stronghold in a serious manner, but now is obviously not the time to attack the city and take out the stronghold in a serious manner.
Seeing that Zheng Hui was sincere, Han Qian frowned and started thinking seriously.
Han Qian thought that Xiying's ten sons were all brave and warlike. As long as the cunning Xiying did not take charge of Jiming Village in person, but one of Xiying's sons guarded Jiming Village, it would still be possible to lure the garrison of Jiming Village.
Come out to annihilate in the field!
Han Qian thought for a while and said: "The Xishehu who was guarding Nanpo Village today was so brave that I was shocked. I believe everyone was also very impressed. However, he was more than brave, but not calm. Otherwise,
, he should take the initiative to abandon Nanpo Village today instead of almost falling into our siege. If Xishehu survives his injury this time, and Chenzhou uses him as the guard of Jiming Village, it will be easy to lure the enemy soldiers out.
"
"That being said, what should we do to get Xiying to leave Jiming Village and use Xishehu to guard Jiming Village?" Zhang Ping asked thoughtfully.
"This can be arranged like this: on the one hand, we need to exaggerate the casualties in our battle today, let out the news, and say that Mr. Zheng is deeply shocked by the bravery of Tiger Shooting General, thinking that Jiming Village is guarded by Tiger Shooting General, and the generals will be defeated.
Chenzhou uses him to guard a small village like Nanpo Shizhai, which is overqualified; on the other hand, Shuiying should also be dispatched. I will also cooperate with Shuiying more, go down the Yuan River, and attack Xupu and other places.
This forced the surname of Chenzhou to send enough important people to take charge. At the same time, we also sent some troops to the eastern front, making Chenzhou mistakenly think that we were going to bypass Jiming Village and reduce the importance of Jiming Village in Chenzhou.
To the extent..." Han Qian said.
"To sound in the east and strike in the west, this method is worth trying." Zheng Hui praised.
Han Qian said: "Xishehu was originally the guard of Jiming Village. Due to various factors, if Xiying did not hand over the power of guarding the village to him, the father and son would probably have a falling out. By the time Xishehu
When Hu was guarding Jiming Village alone, Mr. Zheng led his troops out of Laolong Gorge and bypassed Jiming Village to attack Chenyang City. When the attack on Chenyang City was frustrated and he had to retreat to Laolong Gorge, if Tiger could still
If we don't take action, we will have to attack Jiming Village honestly!"
