My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 522
Jizhou.

Jizhou is a thousand-year-old city, starting from the Great Wall in the north and reaching the Jiyun River in the south. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Hearing that there was a surprise attack by a Yan army in Jizhou, Pu Luhu's [-] gold army accelerated their march and rushed all the way to Jizhou.

In the afternoon, when Pu Luhu led his army to the field of Jizhou, he suddenly found that there was an empty city in front of him.

The gates of the city were opened.

Silent.

The Yan army who raided Jizhou has long since disappeared.

Pu Luhu hesitated.

Obviously, directly entering the city is very likely to be ambushed by the Yan army, but if you don't defend Jizhou, how can you complete the military order of Wanyan Loushi and firmly hold the key retreat of the Jin army.

The gorgeous sun was shining on the wilderness, the Jin army was in formation, and the complexion of Pu Luhu under the Lie Lie army was changing.

He is in a dilemma.

Entering the city is worried about being tricked, but if you don't enter the city, how can you defend this fortress leading to the heart of the Kingdom of Jin.

Meng'an Chihu urged him to go forward immediately and persuaded: "General, the Yan army will abandon the city. I am afraid there is an ambush in the city. Our army should abandon Jizhou and continue eastward to find the whereabouts of the Yan army and fight to the death with the Yan army!"

Meng'an Chihu's suggestion is actually very pertinent.

But Pu Luhu thought that chasing the Yan army was more risky.

If you fall into the siege of the Yan army, you might as well go into Jizhou to occupy the city and defend it to be safer.

Pu Luhu hesitated for a long time, but finally made up his mind.

He waved his hand and decisively ordered Chihu to lead [-] cavalry into the city first. If the city was safe and sound, he would light the beacon fire and then order the army to enter the city.

Chihu was ordered to lead five thousand horses into Jizhou.

There was no trace of anyone in the city, and the city defense facilities were destroyed by the Yan army, and even many houses were burned by the Yan army. It is conceivable that there is no trace of food in the city.

The people of Jin did not know that the people of Jizhou had been moved to Xincangcheng by the Chao Gai tribe.

And Chao Gai's army, known as one hundred thousand, is ambushing in Yutian at this moment.

According to Emperor Wang Lin's will, if the Jin people do not fall into the trick and do not enter Jizhou City, then Chao Gai's troops will strategically retreat all the way to the east to attract the Jin army to advance eastward, and then take the opportunity to occupy Yuguan.

If the Jin people enter the city, they will surround Jizhou without attacking.

The task Wang Lin assigned to Chao Gai was not to fight, but as long as he trapped Pu Luhu's troops for half a month, he would have completed the task.

Wang Lin was still worried that once the decisive battle in Youzhou started, Pu Luhu's brave army would return to Youzhou and cause trouble for the main force of the Yan army.

At dusk, Pu Luhu led an army of [-] troops into Jizhou City.

He adopted the strategy of slowly entering the city in batches and batches, and fighting steadily.It has been peaceful all the time, but when the Jin army entered the city and began to bury pots and cook food, night gradually fell, but there was a deafening army shouting outside the city, and the night sky shook.

Pu Luhu was shocked, and immediately led his generals to the tower, and saw the Yan army holding torches all over the mountains and plains, roaring in all directions, smoke and dust billowing, covering the sky and stars, it seems that there are at least [-] troops.

Pu Luhu is a very cautious general of the Jin army.

Realizing that the city was suddenly besieged by the Yan army, Pu Luhu still made a decision to defend the city even though his generals such as Chihu were clamoring to lead the army out of the city to fight the Yan army to the death and could not be surrounded by the Yan army.

Pu Luhu thought that it would be no problem for his [-] elites to defend Jizhou, not to mention the current Yan army, even if the strength of the Yan army was doubled, he would still have the confidence to defend the city.

He always kept in mind that his mission was to guard the retreat of the Jin army.

It's a lifeline.

Before leaving for the expedition, Wanyan Loushi repeatedly explained that Jizhou must not be lost, and must keep their escape path of life, otherwise the [-] gold army in Youyan territory is very likely to be completely wiped out.

Seeing that Pu Luhu didn't listen to his suggestion, Chihu was very disappointed.

But the command of the general must not be violated.

Even if Chihu had an idea, it was useless.

In the camp of the Yan army outside the city, Chao Gai stood at the gate and looked at the silent Jizhou city.

Although most of the defense facilities of Jizhou city were burned down by them, the defense of Jizhou city was tall. For Chao Gai's miscellaneous army, it was almost an impossible task to break through the city of Jizhou under the hands of the Jin army.

Fortunately, their task was to besiege or hold back the Jin army, not to fight the Jin army.

Dai Zong stood behind Chao Gai and said: "Brother Chao Gai, Your Majesty said that our army is a naval division, we must preserve it as much as possible, and we will further expand it into the Great Yanhai Division in the future to conquer overseas for your majesty. Therefore, In this battle, fight if you can, and leave if you can't, as long as we can hold back the Jin army, it will be a great achievement."

Chao Gai nodded slowly.

Ruan Xiaoer behind him couldn't help but said depressedly: "Brother Chao Gai, the golden man is right in front of our eyes, but we can't fight the golden dog to the death. I really feel aggrieved!"

The Ruan brothers immediately agreed.

Chao Gai frowned and said: "Brothers, don't think that we won a battle and ignore the Jin Army. The Jin Army in Jizhou City has [-] people. If we fight head-on, We are not enemies."

Ruan Xiaoqi curled her lips and said: "Brother Chao Gai, maybe? This golden dog is not superhuman. With our brother's skill, don't we even have the courage to fight? Let's fight first and see if it really doesn't work. It's not too late to retreat."

Seeing that Chao Gai seemed to be moved by the Ruan family's three heroes for a while, Dai Zong's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Brother Chao Gai, brothers, let alone the matter of whether our army is stronger or weaker than the Jin army, but Your Majesty Strict orders, and dare not disobey."

Chao Gai hesitated slightly.

Ruan's Sanxiong had a look of disapproval on his face.

Ruan Xiaoqi even urged: "Brother Chao Gai, the so-called general is away, and the king's order is not accepted. The opportunity for battle is fleeting. Why don't we take advantage of the Jinren's unstable foothold and attack the city once? If we can capture Jizhou, we will destroy it." Wouldn't it be even more miraculous to own this golden dog?
Maybe, the emperor will confer a duke on Brother Chao Gai, and we, maybe we can go one step further! "

The big and small leaders behind Chao Gai laughed, and they all spoke in agreement, yelling into a ball.

Dai Zong was nervous and stared at Chao Gai.

He knew very well in his heart that his naval division team with Liangshan Caomang as the main force seemed to be powerful, but in fact, its combat effectiveness was just that.

In the face of Koryo and the Japanese pirates, Dai Zong felt that there was really no chance of winning when he fought head-on with the golden army of the Tiger and Wolf Division.

Otherwise, how can the emperor repeatedly explain that he cannot fight the Jin people head-on.

Chao Gai is actually tempted now.

After all, they had just surrendered to Dayan, and they didn't have a deep understanding of the military order.

Chao Gai looked up at Jizhou City, which was lined with torches, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he slowly gave the battle order to attack the city at dawn.

When Dai Zong saw that he couldn't stop him, he sighed in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't do anything.

As soon as the dawn broke through the sky, Chao Gai gathered 3 people and ordered the three heroes of the Ruan family to lead the team to storm Jizhou City.

Almost at the same time, Han Shizhong of Juyongguan purges the remnants and slowly retreats fifty miles.

It was another night of tackling key battles, bloody battles.

Han Shizhong couldn't remember how many times this was the first time the Western Army had tackled key points, but every time he returned in defeat.The strength of the Jin army guarding Juyongguan was beyond the imagination of the Western army. The [-] troops belonging to the Western army lost more than [-]. This was Dayan's biggest casualty since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Originally, the probability of winning the pass was extremely high.

But just when the Jin army couldn't resist the tide and swore to take down the Western Army at Juyongguan, a Jin army suddenly marched westward to Juyongguan from the direction of Gubeikou to help.

The morale of Jin Jundun in the pass soared.

The situation of the battle turned around in an instant.

The Western Army was defeated again and retreated.

The dawn was bright, Han Shizhong's complexion was bleak, and his body was mottled with blood.

Since he joined the army, this attack on Juyongguan became his first and biggest defeat.

The [-] army was actually killed in battle, and he was heartbroken and ashamed, and he didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

The morale of the Western Army was low, and the soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, showing mournful expressions.

Han Shizhong sighed on his back, and then wept loudly again.

……

It turned out that Wanyan Zongpan's Meng'an Fuhe was the one rushing to help Juyongguan.

Wanyan Zongpan ordered the equivalent of occupying Gubeikou, originally to prevent the Yan army from continuing the northern expedition after taking Youzhou.

But in the end, Wanyan Zongjun's subordinates heard that the five princes were trapped in Juyongguan, and Youzhou was besieged at the moment, so he suddenly made his own claim and went out of Gubeikou to help Juyongguan.

This directly led to the defeat of a generation of famous general Han Shizhong in Yongguan.

On the tower of Juyongguan, looking at the main force of the Yan army retreating in a panic, Wan Yan Zongjun turned around and said with a big smile in relief, "In other words, you came very timely this time and made a great contribution. You should help Gu to stay in Juyongguan. In the future, Gu will be Thank you for your credit!"

He hesitated slightly.

He acted without permission to help Juyongguan, which was considered to have disobeyed Wanyan Zongpan's military order. If he was stationed in Juyongguan, it would be difficult to explain to Wanyan Zongpan and the lord Wu Qimai in the future.

But...he knew better that if his ten thousand cavalry retreated, the Yan army would definitely come back, and it was impossible for the thousands of remnants under Wan Yan Zongjun's command to hold on to Juyong.

Wanyan Zongjun took a deep breath, and said slowly: "In other words, Wanyan Zongpan has ulterior motives, he has a large army in the north of Youzhou, but he sits and watches the Yan people besiege Youzhou, what is his intention, you should have a good idea.

If Youzhou is lost, the hinterland of Dajin will be threatened by the Yan army.Even, the family and the country are not guaranteed.In other words, you can rest assured, with Gu and the princes around, Wanyan Zongpan can't touch you. "

He gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Fifth prince, the last general will obey orders!"

……

Zhuozhou.

Wang Lin received successive reports of Han Shizhong's defeat at Juyongguan, heavy casualties, and the failure of Chao Gai's troops to attack Jizhou, but Pu Luhu led his army to kill him out of the city. The army lost more than [-]. .

Fortunately, Pu Luhu's goal was to defend Jizhou, and he did not continue to pursue Chao Gai's tribe.

Wang Lin's face was livid, and he slapped the table heavily with his palm. Because of the burst of power in his rage, the table was actually cracked by his palm.

Yan Qing persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Fortunately, Juyong and Jizhou will not affect the overall situation of the decisive battle in Youzhou. Moreover, I think that Han Liangchen is like a god with soldiers, so he will definitely choose another opportunity to attack Juyong. , break the back of the gold man."
