I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Li Wei just ordered the blockade of the three city gates. While the army set up camp, they set up catapult carts in the open space and fired huge stones into the city to deter the defenders in the city.

The raindrops of grinding boulders whizzed down on the top of the city, smashing the city wall to pieces, and some unlucky soldiers were smashed to pieces, and some grinding stones fell into the city, destroying many buildings.

At this time, it was no secret that the catapults were used by all the imperial armies in the mainland. Lan Pi, who was terrified, ordered the catapults in the city to launch. Unfortunately, the range was not as good as the improved catapults of the Jiayue Army. The shooting range was far, and Li Wei did not order the army to attack the city. All the large stones fired by the defenders fell on the open ground, which was equivalent to sending stone bullets to the Jiayue Mansion army.

Lan Pi once again wrote a letter for help. In the letter, he described the Jiayue Army's crazy attack on the city, and the battle was extremely tragic. He commanded the soldiers to repel the Jiayue Army's six strong attacks. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were in critical condition. , Ask for help from the army.

After Li Wei confirmed that Lan Pi had sent a few more messengers to ask for help, he ordered the army to seal the last gate of the north city, and any creature that wanted to leave the city would be greeted with a rain of arrows.

When Lan Yun, the prefect of Hongfeng Province, received the emergency report from Changping, he still didn't know that Changping had fallen and Baiye City was besieged. He angrily scolded Lan Shaoping for being a bastard, adding trouble to him.

If he had that strength, he really wanted to destroy the Jiayue Li family, and then annex Qingchuan, so that he could become a regent and marquis, and then slowly force Chang'an to abdicate, how would it feel to pay for the dragon chair? Unfortunately, He only had this ambition in vain.

The continuous large-scale banditry under his rule has already caused him a lot of trouble. In the battle of the century, he thought it would be profitable, so he sent a large number of troops. As a result, the coalition army suffered a complete defeat, causing him heavy losses. This society has not yet recovered, Lan Shao Ping actually started the war lightly, isn't this killing him?

He hastily dispatched his cronies to Changping Pass, ordered Lan Shaoping to withdraw his troops, and at the same time sent flying cavalry to Chang'an. The villain first came and filed a complaint. He had to give him an explanation.

As a result, the messenger had just left the city, Lan Shaoping's entire army was wiped out, and the news that Changping Pass had fallen to Jiayue's army and surrounded Baiye City had already spread, and he was so angry that he smashed his beloved jade cup on the spot.

At this time, he no longer cared about Chachalan Shaoping's ancestors, and ordered to recruit young and strong men to gather a large army to reinforce Baiye City. At the same time, he sent people to spread the news to denounce Jiayue Li's ambitions.

It would take at least three to five days from the recruitment of the young and strong to the assembly of the army. At this time, Lan Pi's distress letters were sent one after another, which was extremely urgent.

The domineering Lan Yun refused to listen to the dissuasion of his advisers, and ordered his second son, Lan Hu, to lead [-] elite troops to reinforce Baiye City first, and then lead a large army to support him, and fought a decisive battle with the Jiayue Army.

Chapter 1

Lan Hu, recognized as the number one fierce general in Hongfeng Province, is born with supernatural powers and is good at wielding a mace, weighing eighty catties. There is no three times under the axe. He is conceited and has a bad temper. For this reason, Lan Yun Wen Zishan, a confidant counselor, was specially arranged to follow, so as to remind Lan Hu to be careful.

Blue Tiger is naturally aggressive. The last time he conquered the Jin Empire, the Jin army insisted on defending the city and did not fight, so he had no chance to show his strength. Then the army was defeated, which made him angry. This time, he had another chance to fight and kill people. Immediately and eagerly gathered [-] elites, and rushed towards Baiye City aggressively.

Lan Hu was eager to break the siege of Baiye City, and urged the army to speed up the march. When they reached Fengming Canyon, the counselor Wen Zishan insisted on finding out the situation first to prevent accidents.

Even if Lan Hu was upset, he had no choice but to, Wen Zishan was one of the confidantes that his father relied heavily on, no matter how arrogant he was, he had to give Wen Zishan three points of face.

The brigade Ye Bubuo repeatedly searched the entire Fengming Canyon to confirm that no Jiayue Mansion army was found, and the army quickly passed through.

"Mr. is too cautious."

Lan Hu took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart, but he managed to save a little bit of sympathy, and his words were still polite, if he wanted to change someone else, he might scold him like a dog.

According to the information obtained by Ye Bushou, the Jiayue Mansion army dispatched a total of 3000 troops this time, and they invaded all the way to the east, leaving 5000 to 2000 people guarding the cities in all the counties that they conquered. There are about [-] people, and if the logistics and auxiliary soldiers are deducted, the number of soldiers who can fight is about [-] at most.

This shows that the commander-in-chief of the Jiayue Mansion Army is a cautious person. This kind of person acts in a well-regulated manner and is not easy to make mistakes. He would rather miss the opportunity than take risks. He is actually a moderate person.

Wen Zishan's old face was slightly red, and even if he was angry, he was helpless. With Lan Hu's identity in place, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to endure it.

The army passed through Fengming Canyon safely, and in another [-] li or so, they would arrive at Baiye City. Lan Hu ordered the army to speed up the march. Wen Zishan's lips moved, but finally he closed his mouth tightly.

In the dense forest twenty miles away from Baiye City, Li Wei sat leisurely on a tree trunk, waiting for Lanhu's [-] troops to crash into the ambush circle.

After several months of careful preparation, the Jiayue Mansion Army's Ye Bu Shou and internal guard secret spies spread all over Hongfeng Province. Li Wei naturally knew all the actions of the [-] elite Lan Hu.

Trapping Baiye City to death and ambushing the Red Maple Army for reinforcements was a tactic Li Wei learned from watching the three major battles of war movies filmed in China.

The tactics of besieging and attacking reinforcements were all supported by the think tank headed by Tian Ce and Wu You. However, the ambush point chosen by the army was not in Fengming Canyon, but in such a flat place without any favorable terrain, Tian Ce and Wu You first let Tian Ce and Wu You was stunned for a long time before she nodded happily. The young master's move was contrary to the common sense of military affairs, but because of this, it must be 100% successful, and they would be successful as well.

When Lan Hu's [-] troops arrived at the ambush circle set up by Li Wei, all the soldiers were exhausted. Even though Lan Hu was impatient, he had no choice but to send a large number of Ye Bubuu to reconnaissance, and the army temporarily retreated into the woods to rest.

No matter how elite the soldiers were, after a long and hasty march, they were panting from exhaustion. They rested on the spot after hearing this, and all the soldiers immediately relaxed and walked lazily towards the woods on both sides of the road.

There was a bang of a clapper, and there was a sudden sound of movement in the woods on both sides, followed by a rain of locust arrows, and the unprepared Hongfeng soldiers fell down in a blink of an eye.

"Enemy attack, quickly line up!"

The army led by Lan Hu is worthy of the elite of Hongfeng Mansion soldiers. The officers brandished iron swords and shouted, ordering the soldiers to form an array to defend against the enemy.

The [-] elite quickly stabilized from the initial panic, and they all obeyed the orders of officers at all levels, and quickly formed formations to defend against the enemy.

The earth-shattering sound of rumbling iron hooves suddenly sounded, billowing dust and smoke billowed from the forest, and three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were like a torrent of steel, quickly crushing towards the assembled Red Maple soldiers.

"Cavalry... Spearmen, spearmen, hurry up and form formation..."

Some officers screamed in despair. In the field, if the infantry has fortifications to rely on, or a large spear formation, they can still compete with the cavalry. But now, the exhausted army is suddenly ambushed and is in a messy situation. At the moment of assembly, no matter how elite the army is, it is impossible to assemble the spear array under such circumstances to resist the impact of the iron cavalry.

"kill!"

The [-] tiger and leopard cavalry that came crushing them first shot two waves of arrows, overturning two panicked Red Maple soldiers, then retracted their bows and drew their knives, fiercely crashing into the dense and panicked crowd.

The Jiayue infantry ambushed in the woods on both sides followed and attacked from three sides, and the [-] elite Hongfeng soldiers immediately collapsed.

"Hold on, hold on for me!"

Blue Tiger roared loudly and swung his sword to kill several panicked soldiers, but he couldn't save the collapse of the army. In desperation, he had no choice but to run back and forth.

When the soldiers of Hongfeng Mansion, who were fleeing in panic, rushed to Fengming Canyon, they were all dumbfounded.

The soldiers from the Three Thousand Trapped camp blocked the mouth of the valley densely, their whole body was tightly wrapped by thick and heavy iron armor, and the sharp Mo Dao shone faintly and coldly under the refraction of the sun, which was breathtaking.

"What are you doing in a daze? The only way to survive is to kill!"

With a roar, Lan Hu took the lead in charging forward, followed by his two hundred bodyguards and a small number of soldiers.

Faced with such a chilling steel armor, most of the soldiers whose psychological defense line had already completely collapsed chose to throw down their weapons and squat down with their heads in their hands.

"Whoever blocks me, die!"

Lan Hu charged forward with a heavy mace, and with a bang, sparks flew everywhere, and a soldier at the head couldn't bear the terrifying force of the blow, and fell down with a bang.

"kill!"

The fall of the companion did not make the other soldiers in the camp tremble. With the officer's roar, all the soldiers took a big step forward in an orderly manner.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With three roars in a row, the soldiers of the trapped camp who took three big steps forward collided fiercely with the two hundred soldiers of the blue tiger and thousands of soldiers from the Red Maple Mansion.

Lanhu's personal force value is indeed formidable and superior, but unfortunately, he is facing three thousand steel armored soldiers who are destructive in attack and impregnable in punctuality, so his personal force value will not play much role at all.

Although he knocked down more than a dozen soldiers, he was crushed by many soldiers who came close to him, and the horse was knocked down by the sharp knife. The blue tiger who fell off the horse only came to let out a miserable howl, and was killed in the blink of an eye. Countless soldiers were submerged, and there were no bones left.

The death of the blue tiger also represented the complete collapse of the last remaining will of the soldiers of the Red Maple Mansion to resist.

In the sound of slogans, all the soldiers abandoned their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Only the counselor Wen Zishan stood in the middle of the road, looking particularly conspicuous.

Chapter 1 Adventure Attack

In this battle, more than 2000 people were wiped out, and more than 1000 people were captured. More than 5000 people escaped in the woods, and countless weapons, equipment and food were seized. .

Li Wei grinned, "1000 elites, this battle can be described as brilliant, and the captives of these [-] people are all veterans who have experienced many battles. He doesn't intend to release them, but breaks them up." , Incorporated into each army.

The soldiers are all poor people. As long as they are treated well, I believe no one will escape or rebel. When he brings the entire Hongfeng Province under his rule, these captive soldiers will work for him with more peace of mind.

Wen Zishan, who was tied up with five flowers, was pushed into the tent by the wolf-like guards. Li Wei's face darkened, and he scolded loudly: "Bastard, who made you treat Mr. Zishan so rude?"

Wen Zishan, who came from a famous family, was one of the most famous officials in Hongfeng Province, and one of the counselors that Taishou Lan Yun relied on. Of course, Li Wei wanted to recruit such talents, and they could also play a role in appeasing others.

After conquering Hongfeng Province, if they want to gain a firm foothold quickly, they must focus on appeasement. With the support of local powerful families, everything will be fine. Of course, the Lan family and those loyalists who support him must be eliminated.

The guards quickly untied Wen Zishan, and exited after pleading guilty, and soon someone brought delicious food and wine.

Wen Zishan was not too polite, he sat down carelessly, picked up the small jug on the low table, and poured himself a full glass of water and wine.

The mellow wine scent that Zhongren was about to get drunk filled his nostrils, causing a look of surprise on his pale old face, he couldn't help raising his head, and asked: "This is..."

"Ya Nei wine."

Tian Ce smiled and made a gesture of asking for compensation. Alcohol is not allowed in the army, but with Li Wei's acquiescence, he enjoys this small privilege because he is almost drunk with alcohol.

"Is it really the yamen wine that is called the nectar of the world?"

Wen Zishan couldn't help being moved. The legend of yamen wine has long been heard in mainland China, but it is a pity that ten thousand gold is hard to find. It is said that this kind of human nectar is only offered internally, or rewarded to soldiers with military exploits and officials with outstanding contributions. Unexpectedly, he was a prisoner. Even if he was lucky enough to be rewarded, the captive seemed to be worth it.

Regardless of losing his composure, Wen Zishan impatiently picked up the wine glass and sipped it carefully. Just looking at his expression of enjoying with his eyes closed, he knew that he also liked the things in the glass.

Li Weitian Ce Wuyou looked at each other and smiled, as long as you have weaknesses, it's easy to deal with, what I'm afraid of is that you are perfect like a saint.

However, what made Li Wei helpless was that Wen Zishan, who was like a drunk, was like a stone in a latrine after drinking two small pots of wine in a row.

Such talents cannot be used by my brother, and naturally they cannot be used by the enemy either. Li Wei's slightly narrowed eyes flashed a stern and cold light.

Tian Ce hurriedly pulled him out of the tent, and explained in a low voice, your act of respecting the virtuous and corporal has already given Wen Zishan enough face, but for a famous official like him who is arrogant and arrogant, you still have to show enough If you have the strength, people will serve you wholeheartedly.

The so-called strength is actually to annex the entire Hongfeng Province, which is also Li Wei's current established first strategic goal.

Therefore, Li Wei treated Wen Zishan as a guest of honor, entertained him with good wine and good food every day, and equipped him with two guards, and Wen Zishan seemed to be in his own home, entering and leaving the Chinese army commander's tent at will, even outside the barracks Walking around, he raised any requests without hesitation, and Li Wei also satisfied him without any conditions.

It has been the third day since the siege of Baiye City. During these three days, the Jiayue Mansion army just besieged and did not attack. They only used catapults to bombard the city indiscriminately every day, and even knocked down a small section of the southern city wall. But still turned a blind eye and did not send troops to attack the city.

The hail-like bombardment of boulders every day put extremely heavy psychological pressure on the guards in Baiye City. The guard Lan Pi was so frantic that he almost went crazy. He desperately sent troops to cover the messenger and wanted to break through the siege for help. Facing the rain of arrows from the Jiayue Mansion army, even with wings, they couldn't fly out.

In Hongfeng City, Lan Yun, the prefect, was desperately recruiting young and strong men, gathering heavy troops. When the news came that Lan Hu had killed [-] elite troops and wiped out the entire army, he was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Old and bereaved, one can imagine the grief and resentment in his heart. In a rage, Lan Yun ordered the hastily assembled 15 troops to move out to fight a decisive battle with Li Wei's [-] troops.

Although Lan Yun was furious, he did not lose his mind because of it. On the contrary, he was more sober than ever. Now he was faced with two choices, but he chose the second one.

The first choice is to stick to Hongfeng Fucheng, wait for Kong Ning of Qingchuan to launch a fierce attack on Chongyang to relieve his pressure, and at the same time wait for Chang'an to send people to mediate, denounce the righteousness, and put pressure on Jiayue Li. Time The longer the delay the better for him.

This was a safe but extremely conservative strategy. If he chose to defend, he would also lose an excellent opportunity to annihilate Jiayue's main force. Therefore, Lan Yun would rather choose to take a risky attack than swallow Li Wei's 5 troops.

Lan Yun's deduction was not wrong. Those who dared to take risks would choose to take risks instead of missing the good opportunity to encircle and wipe out the [-] main forces of Li Wei's troops.

According to the inferences of collected intelligence and common sense, it is completely feasible in theory, but errors in military intelligence and common sense will inevitably lead to final failure.

Li Wei commanded an army of 5, but he did the opposite to the outside world. He only claimed 3000 people. In addition, the army advanced all the way, leaving [-] to [-] troops to guard every county he captured. He also divided troops to surround Baiye City. Li Wei actually had a maximum of [-] soldiers available.

15 vs. [-] troops, the disparity in military strength is such that each person can drown [-] soldiers of the Jiayue Mansion by spitting out their saliva. Who is willing to guard Hongfeng City honestly?

Li Wei, his left and right military advisers Tian Ce Wu You and other think tank teams were busy in the central army commander's tent, sending out orders one after another. From the beginning to the end, Wen Zishan sat aside and watched and listened. The news that he led an army of 15 out of the city couldn't help but let out a sigh.

At this time, Chang'an had already learned of the war between Hongfeng Province and Jiayue Province. Jiayue is quite disadvantaged.

The envoy sent by the imperial court is said to be on the way, and the first reaction of Kong Ning, the prefect of Qingchuan Province, when he heard the news was to recruit a large army and launch a fierce attack on the important town of Chongyang in Jiayue Province.

Sun Jai, the defender of Chongyang, led the army and civilians in the city to rise up to resist. The battle was extremely tragic, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Chapter 1 Zero Nine Decisive Battle

Lan Yun personally led an army of 15 to rush towards Baiye City. Although he was eager to eat Li Wei's main army, he did not take the risk of rushing forward. The army advanced slowly. Huawei Pioneer's [-] vanguard army advanced to Fengming Canyon.

No reports are received at night, Fengming Canyon is guarded by a Jiayue Army, with a strength of 6000, guarding the high slopes on both sides of the canyon.

The shortest way to reinforce Baiye City is through Fengming Canyon, or the way back and forth is more than [-] miles, bypassing Fengming Canyon and going to Jiang County. In this case, it will take an extra day and a half to walk.

Pang Hua didn't want to make a detour, so he sent 5000 Jiayue troops to restrain the right hillside of Fengming Canyon, and personally led [-] people to storm the left hillside.

The hillsides on both sides of Fengming Canyon were not very high. The Jiayue Army built several fortifications on the hillsides, and set up fifty Thunder Chariots on the commanding heights.

The hillside is narrow and cannot be defended with too many troops. Similarly, Pang Hua cannot devote too many troops to attack. He commanded the forward army and did not carry heavy siege equipment, so he could only launch a strong attack from the front.

After the two waves of tentative attacks were shot back by the dense rain of arrows from the Jiayue Mansion soldiers, Pang Hua ordered the shield soldiers to move forward to cover the archers and suppress the Jiayue Mansion soldiers' archers.

The archers on both sides shot at each other, and for a while, the air was full of criss-crossing arrows, and the rain of arrows fell, and bloody flowers burst out from time to time. During the fierce battle, the thunder war who occupied the commanding height suddenly blasted Pang Yu. The shields placed in front of the formation were bombarded to pieces, causing heavy losses.

The cover archers who lost their shield soldiers also suffered heavy losses under the heavy rain of arrows. Pang Hua had to order a suspension of the attack and wait for Lan Yun's order.

In the evening, a [-]-strong infantry arrived, not only bringing a large number of heavy siege weapons, but also Lan Yun's order to continue storming Fengming Canyon.

With the support of the catapults, Pang Hua organized an attack again. Dozens of catapults lined up in front of the formation, blasting at the soldiers of Jiayue Mansion on the hillside, and then, under the cover of the shield soldiers, The infantry attacked again.

Pang Hua also sent out an army to attack from the side of the canyon with ladders. The tower was pushed directly down the steep hillside, and the archers hid inside to shoot arrows, which once put a lot of pressure on Jiayue's army.

However, as the Thunder Chariots fired at the commanding heights one after another, towers were destroyed one after another, and the archers on the towers were broken. After losing twenty towers, Pang Hua did not dare to use the towers again. He couldn't bear the responsibility for the attack, and the loss was too great. He could only continue to launch a strong attack with infantry.

Outside Baiye City, Jiayue Mansion Barracks.

In the tent of the Chinese Army Commander, Li Wei and others were surrounding the clay maple terrain model. More than an hour ago, without receiving any rewards at night, a ten thousand Red Maple cavalry troop had bypassed the Fengming Canyon and was about to Quickly gallop towards Jiang County.

Li Wei couldn't help calling it a fluke. Fortunately, Tian Ce and Wu You reminded him that he didn't ambush the tiger and leopard cavalry in the canyon. Otherwise, his rear army would have been given to Lan Yun's cavalry unit.

At this time, Lan Yun had led 25 Qingqi around Jiang County, less than [-] miles away from Baiye City.

On the flat ground outside the barracks, Li Wei led a large army to line up. The front army consisted of [-] heavily armored camp soldiers, forming a dense defensive formation. Sixty Thunder Warriors formed a chariot formation. Except for the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry who had gone ahead to meet the enemy, Li Wei no longer had any reserve troops in his hands.

In addition to leaving [-] infantry to besiege Baiye City and continue to bombard the defenders indiscriminately with catapults, the other [-] infantry were concentrated at the mouth of Fengming Canyon to intercept Pang Hua's [-] vanguard army and [-] Qingqi troops. And [-] infantry ambushed in the canyon.

Lan Yun led 5000 cavalry to march slowly. The closer he was to Baiye City, the more cautious he was. A large number of nights were not collected, and soon there was news that a group of about [-] to [-] people The Jiayue cavalry troops are coming head-on.

Lan Yun frowned slightly. The killing of this Jiayue cavalry showed that the whereabouts of the army had been exposed, and it was impossible to sneak attack. He immediately ordered his confidant Lei Bao to lead [-] light cavalry to meet the enemy, and he led [-] cavalry to the rear.

Lei Bao led 300 cavalry to face Zhuo Fengxing's [-] tiger and leopard cavalry. When the cavalry of both sides were about to collide, the tiger and leopard cavalry shot a wave of arrows, then turned their horses' heads and retreated in a semicircle, shooting arrows while running. After several rounds of arrows, Lei Bao lost more than [-] of the [-] cavalry.
