Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 594: Easy ambush

In a study room in the southeast governor’s mansion in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Prefecture, the Greater Jin Dynasty, the southeast governor Zhang Mingqi heard that the two commanders of the Third and Sixth Army under his command were preparing to defend Moyu City and the two barracks outside the city. I couldn't help but frown and asked the counselor Tang Yan: "Mr. Tang, do you think that with the Third Army and the Sixth Army, you can stop the Marauders in Moyu City?"

The counselor Tang Yan hesitated and said, "Lord, to be honest, I don't have a bottom in my heart. After all, the Puppet Army is a powerful army that crosses the Western Regions and the grasslands. Even Dawan has suffered a big loss in the hands of the Puppet Army. The one million Sundering Army troops that Liu Ji brought to the southwest must be the elite of the Sundering Army. His subordinates do not know whether the Third and Sixth Army can stop the Sundering Army."

Zhang Mingqi then asked in a deep voice: "The Second Army is in Leizhou, and the Fifth Army is in Qinzhou. What is the current situation of the fighting?"

The counselor Tang Yan immediately said: "The Lord Qi, now the Second Army has captured the three counties controlled by Xu She, the former Litang prefect of Leizhou, and two counties controlled by Zhao Yongzhong, the prefect of Banjiang County. The two counties in the hands of Leizhou Prefecture Mulincheng were also taken over by the Second Army. Now there is one city and four counties controlled by the State Mulincheng in Leizhou Prefecture, which have not been captured by the Second Army."

After a pause, the counselor Tang Yan continued: "The Fifth Army has captured the five counties controlled by Yuan Xin, the prefect of Dangyang County, Qinzhou, and the two counties in the hands of Liu Du, a herd of Qinzhou Prefecture, have also been captured by the Fifth Army. In Qinzhou, only one city and two counties of Liu Du, Zhou Mu, have not been captured by the Fifth Army."

Zhang Mingqi frowned, "Why are the Second Army and the Fifth Army progressing so slowly? So far, Leizhou Prefecture Mu Lincheng and Qinzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Du have not been resolved? There should not be much army left in the hands of these two people!"

The counselor Tang Yan explained: "The lord, Leizhou Mu Lincheng and Qinzhou Mu Liu Du have recruited a large number of young men to help defend the city, so the Second Army and the Fifth Army have not completely captured Leizhou and Qinzhou until now. ."

Zhang Mingqi's brows tightened. "Can we transfer some troops from the Second Army and the Fifth Army to Hengzhou at this time? The governor of the capital is worried that only the Third Army and the Sixth Army will arrive at the Broken Army. Some Not sure!"

The counselor Tang Yan thought for a moment and said: "Master, at most two guards can be drawn from the Second Army and one guard from the Fifth Army. After all, the battle between Leizhou and Qinzhou is not over. The Second Army and the Fifth Army drew too many troops."

Zhang Mingqi touched his chin and said, "Then let the Second Army transfer two guards from Leizhou into Hengzhou, let the Fifth Army transfer one guard from Qinzhou to Hengzhou, and then transfer three from the first army regiment of the capital governor. A guard also entered Hengzhou to support the Third and Sixth Army."

Then Zhang Mingqi said: "The governor of the capital is going to immediately form ten new guards. The organization is the same as the previous sixty guards. If our Southeast Army annexes the five southwestern states this time, only sixty guards will not be enough. After the five southwestern states are completely controlled by our southeast wing army, the governor of the capital is going to expand the army of at least 20 guards."

The counselor Tang Yan agreed and said: "According to the information that our Red Fox has obtained, Lu State not only formed five new ordinary legions, but also expanded the three ordinary legions into the main legions. Now Lu State has 13 main legions and ten main legions. The eight general army regiments have a total strength of more than 11 million. In order to deal with the threat from the Lu State, our Southeast Xiang Army should indeed increase some more troops."

What Zhang Mingqi could not imagine was that he was still planning reinforcements for the Third Army and Sixth Army in Moyu City, Hengzhou. An unexpected change occurred in Moyu City.

The Southeast Xiang Army barracks to the north outside Moyu City was not very defensive due to time constraints. The fence was only built with trees that were just cut down. During the attack on February 22, the attacking troops were almost there. The wall of this barracks was smashed into a sieve. The reason why the three guards of the Third Army of the Southeast Xiang could abruptly blocked the onslaught of the Jailbreak Army for one day was completely filled with human lives, so that the Southeast Xiang Army The three guards of the Third Army lost nearly 130,000 people in just one day.

After the Sundering Army launched another attack on the Southeast Xiang Army barracks north of Moyu City on February 23, the 3rd Army’s three guards still had 240,000 left, but these 240,000 Morale was low, and there was a tendency to collapse soon. Zhou Jiling, commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Southeast Xiang Army, had no choice but to mobilize some troops from Moyu City to support the barracks on the north side of the city. Only then could he barely hold the barracks again. one day.

On the evening of February 23, in the Prefect's Mansion in Moyucheng, Biyang County, Chen Hongxin, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army, said to Zhou Jiling, the commander of the Third Army, with a solemn expression: "Brother Zhou, outside the city The Beidaying camp can no longer continue to defend like this. The casualties are too great, and the Beidaying camp has become dilapidated. It doesn't make much sense to stick to it."

Zhou Jiling smiled bitterly and said: "It is true that the Peking Camp outside the city can no longer be defended. The three guards who guarded the Peking Camp yesterday lost nearly 130,000 people. The loss today is even more than that of yesterday. Four brigades of troops were mobilized in Yucheng to reinforce the Peking Camp. The three guards guarding the Peking Camp may have already collapsed. I plan to take advantage of the night to withdraw the remaining soldiers from the Peking Camp to Moyu City. Once the captives are broken The army also launched an attack on the southern camp outside the city, and I am not going to let the troops of the southern camp stand dead. It seems that our two legions still have to rely on the walls of Moyu City to offset some of the advantages of the destroyers in terms of combat effectiveness."

Chen Hongxin nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. The Raiders should not dare to ignore Moyu City. As long as our two legions can defend Moyu City, the Raiders should not interfere with our Southeast Army's capture of the entire city. The plan for the five southwestern states."

However, what Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin, the two generals of the Southeast Xiang Army did not expect, was that after the Southeast Xiang Army withdrew from the barracks in the north of the city into Moyu City overnight, the Puppet Army did not continue to attack the barracks in the south of the city and Moyu City. In the offensive, the smashing troops walked around the city directly from the north of Moyu City, and did not take care of the Southeast Xiang Army in Moyu City at all.

The Southeast Xiang Army only has the Third Army and the Sixth Army in Hengzhou. At present, a total of eleven guards from these two corps have gathered here in Moyu City. These two corps are in other areas of Hengzhou, only left. With the three guards, how can the army of three guards reach the smashing forces that still exceed 900,000 troops?

"Brother Zhou, what should we do now? After the Raiders abandoned the city of Moyu, although our two legions can cut off the back of the Raiders, with the three guards in other areas of Hengzhou, how can they stop them? The captive army?" Chen Hongxin said frowningly.

Zhou Jiling's face was very ugly. This unexpected move by the Puppet Army disrupted all the arrangements of Zhou Jiling. "It seems that the Puppet Army is preparing to use war to support the war, so it will not take into account that the back road will be cut off. This legion can only gather troops to pursue the smashing troops that bypassed Moyu City! We must not let this smashing army destroy our Southeast Xiang Army's annexation of the five southwestern states!"

Originally, the Southeast Xiang Army in Moyu City discovered that a large number of troops from the Luke-Squatting Army had bypassed Moyu City, and did not care. However, it was completely dumbfounded when all the Lu-Ping Army troops outside Moyu had left. If the Southeast Xiang Army in Yucheng wanted to prevent the Poman Army from invading other areas of Hengzhou, they had no choice but to pursue the Poman Army.

Chen Hongxin hesitated and asked: "Brother Zhou, I think we should ask for reinforcements from the lord! With our two legions, it seems that some of this can't stop this smashing army!"

"Oh-that’s the only thing. The force of the captive-breaking army led by Liu Ji is too powerful. In just a few days, our two armies have already lost 350,000 people. I hope the lord can help. In Hengzhou, send more troops!"

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin then sought help from Zhang Mingqi, the chief governor of the southeast, and they began to mobilize the two regiments of the Southeast Xiang Army in Moyu City, preparing to pursue the departed army.

Soon the Southeast Xiang Army in Moyu City sent out more than 900,000 troops to pursue the departed troops. The more than 900,000 Southeast Xiang troops were personally led by Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin. A guard of the Three Army Corps was left to continue guarding Moyu City. This guard also lost a lot of money in the battle with the squadron, but there were still about 100,000 people.

When Liu Ji learned that the Southeast Army in Moyu City almost came out, he couldn't help but smiled at Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao: "The Southeast Army in Moyu City really chased it, what should we do next? ?"

Guo Jia immediately said: "Master, in the Southeast Xiang Army, there are very few cavalry establishments. This time there are five cavalry brigades of the Guards came to Hengzhou, and now it is the five cavalry brigades of the Guards that are able to perform. Opportunity, we can set up an ambush circle, and then introduce the Southeast Army from Moyu City into the ambush circle, and annihilate them as much as possible."

Cheng Yu followed: "As long as the Southeast Xiang Army is out of the city, in the field, our cavalry of the Crusaders can be one enemy ten against the Southeast Xiang Army. Our current position is relatively open, which is just good for the cavalry. For the performance of the troops, I think it is enough to set up an ambush circle here."

Dong Zhao nodded and said: "I also agree to set up an ambush circle here. The terrain here is really suitable for ambushes."

After listening to the words of the three top civil servants, Liu Ji decided categorically that he would set up a trap in a place less than a hundred miles east of Moyu City to eliminate the main force of the Southeast Army in Hengzhou as much as possible.

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin, the two generals of the Southeast Xiang Army, led more than 900,000 troops of the two regiments. When chasing the Sundering Army, they sent a large number of scouts, and they were afraid of being caught by the Sundering Army’s plot. More than 900,000 Southeast Xiang troops still plunged headlong into the trap set by the squadron.

The more than 900,000 Southeast Xiangs first encountered a surprise attack by five cavalry brigades of the Guards Corps of the Broken Army, and then they were ravaged by the battlefield of the Mo Swordsmen of the Tang Dynasty. Behind the battlefield of the Mo Swordsmen of the Tang Dynasty, they also followed the guards of the Guards. Hundreds of thousands of infantrymen are responsible for making up the knife.

With this combination of punches down, the more than 900,000 troops of the Third and Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army collapsed on the battlefield, and they could no longer organize effective resistance.

The battle lasted from the afternoon of February 24th until the next morning. In the end, more than 900,000 Southeast Xiangs were wiped out, almost 88,000, of which more than 750,000 were captured. A large number of soldiers of the Southeast Xiang Army chose to surrender to the Captive Army after their organization was chaotic.

A considerable part of the soldiers of the Southeast Xiang Army were forced to join the Southeast Xiang Army during the forced conscription of the Southeast Xiang Army. If the organization is not disordered and is suppressed by officers and veterans, these soldiers can still fight bravely. There is chaos, and few people are willing to be loyal to the Southeast Xiang Army, not to mention that the Papai Army is the army of the Great Jin after all, and it does not matter if the Papai Army surrenders.

Only more than 40,000 Southeastern Xiangs took advantage of the night to disperse and rushed out of the ambush of the Jailbreakers. Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin, two generals of the Southeastern Xiangs, were lucky to escape.

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin did not escape back to Moyu City, but they escaped again. Liu Ji dispatched some soldiers from the Captive Army, dressed as the defeated soldiers of the Southeast Xiang Army, and deceived the gates of Moyu City. ~www.wuxiahere.com~ It only took more than two hours for Moyu City to fall into the control of the Raiders. The one hundred thousand Southeast Army who guarded Moyu City, learned that the city gate was lost, almost nothing. With the confidence to resist, almost more than 96,000 Southeast Xiang troops chose to surrender, as long as more than 4,000 were killed or fled Moyu City.

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin took the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers they had gathered, and fled all the way to Zheng'an City, the state capital of Hengzhou. At this moment, there was also a guard from the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army in Zheng'an City.

In the prefecture and animal husbandry of Zheng'an City, Chen Hongxin said bitterly to Zhou Jiling: "Brother Zhou, just heard the news that Moyu City has also fallen, and the 100,000 defenders hardly resisted. Our two legions now add up to nothing more. The next three guards, and the troops of the Sundering Army are not far from Zheng'an City. What should we do next? If we defend Zheng'an City firmly, we'd better transfer the other two guards to Zheng'an City as soon as possible!"

Zhou Jiling said sadly: "The defeat in this battle was so miserable, I still don't understand why our more than 900,000 army collapsed so quickly?"

Chen Hongxin sighed and said: "The lord has prepared to transfer six guards from the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Corps and enter Hengzhou to support our two legions. But the six guards have not set off yet, our two legions will fight soon. It's gone, sigh—"
