I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Once a general succeeds, all bones are destroyed, killing one person is killing, killing thousands is a hero, killing a million people, Fang is a hero among heroes, although Li Gang is old, he is still fierce and decisive.

He revised some of Li Wei's action plans, and capturing Yunluo City was the first step of the action plan. For this reason, he carried out a lot of preparation work and made careful arrangements under the careful planning of a group of advisers.

In order to quickly help his son who was dying in Chang'an, he conscripted all the horses in Jiayue Hongfeng provinces, no matter what kind of horses, as long as they can run, they will all be requisitioned. All he wants is speed. This also explains the cavalry troops in Chang'an city at the moment The reason why there are as many as [-] people.

Of course, the numbers alone are really scary, but except for the most elite [-] tiger and leopard cavalry and [-] provincial government elite light cavalry, the rest have no combat effectiveness at all and can only be regarded as infantry on horseback.

Li Gang played a big game this time. It can be said that he has bet on Li's century-old foundation. He not only recruited a large number of horses, but also recruited recruits on a large scale again, with a number as high as 20. For the last big gamble, he wanted to annex Qingchuan Province in one go, successfully enter Chang'an, and realize the dream that his ancestors could not achieve.

He chose Yunluoguan as a breakthrough point, and then the main force entered Yiyunguan, broke into Qingchuan Province, cut off the back of Yulinguan, turned Yuguan, which was heavily guarded, into an isolated city, and restrained the defenders of Yulinguan with a small number of troops. Sweeping across the entire territory of Qingchuan, therefore, the newly formed 20 troops were all assembled at Anping Pass, and with the original 25 troops assembled, the strength of Anping Pass was as high as [-].

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of secret spies lurking in Jiayue and Hongfeng provinces, but they couldn't pass on the information.

In order to keep secret, Li Gang did not hesitate to arouse public grievances. He ordered all the border passages to be closed, allowing entry and no exit. Important roads were set up for strict inspection, and they were all released at night. They went deep into the vicinity of Yunluo City. place.

It's not that the news cannot be spread, you have to take the sparsely populated trails or barren mountains and wild forests, and then swim across the Nujiang River, via the Jin Empire, and when the news reaches the decision-makers, the day lily will be cold.

It's not that Jiayue Ye didn't accept cross-border reconnaissance. It's not that General Yunluo didn't know about it, but he didn't pay much attention. In his opinion, Jiayue's movement was just to put pressure on Chang'an. As long as the city is guarded, the sky will fall. It's none of his business to come down.

Li Gang hastened the deployment. However, the turmoil in Chang'an came too fast, and some deployments were not in place yet, so they could only be launched hastily.

He gave an order, and 25 troops poured out from Anping Pass like a tide, besieging Yunluo City tightly. Thunder chariots and catapults lined up in several rows, fired several rounds, and the guard raised a white flag to surrender.

Li Gang appointed Zhonglang General He Jin as the commander-in-chief, and led an army of 20 to Yiyun Pass. He led all the cavalry to Chang'an to support Li Wei. To Chang'an.

There are three tiger and leopard cavalry, and the knights can take turns to change horses. This is why the tiger and leopard cavalry arrived in Chang'an first, and the troops arrived one after another in the middle of the night.

"The young master put himself in danger, how can the elder feel relieved?"

Tian Ce stroked his long beard and said with a smile, in fact, why didn't he worry about it? He put all his treasures on the young master. If something happened to him, his ambition would also disappear. What's the fun in being a human being?

After unraveling all the doubts in his heart, Li Wei felt unspeakably tired and just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep. Tian Ce and the others resigned tactfully.

Ever since Wu Huiniang was betrayed by her personal maid, except for Xiaoliuzi, she didn't trust anyone who served her around her, so it fell to Qing'er to take care of the young master's shower.

Concubine Wu Hui is very polite to Qing'er. She is a smart person. Although Qing'er is a concubine, she can accompany her husband and follow him through life and death, which shows that he loves and trusts her. Only a stupid woman blinded by jealousy can If you eat foolishly, it will only arouse your husband's disgust and lead to falling out of favor.

She also wants to serve her husband to take a bath, but she has to take care of the children. She is worried about those court ladies, so she usually takes them by herself, and would rather be tired. The children are her heart and soul, so no accidents will happen.

Although he took a warm bath comfortably, Li Wei was really tired, and fell asleep quickly as soon as he lay on the big soft bed.

Qing'er tucked up the silk quilt for him, exited tactfully, and stayed outside with three inner guard female secret agents. They not only acted as guards, but also took care of the children. Well, the relationship between her and the young master can't be made public yet, even a confidant like Tian Ce doesn't know about it.

The sky has not yet brightened, and teams of armored soldiers patrolled back and forth to maintain order. The corpses strewn about on the street have disappeared, but the black blood clots left on the bluestone slabs and some dilapidated buildings prove the riots that happened yesterday It is true.

Anmin notices were posted everywhere, telling the residents in the city that the king of Qin passed away and left a will to appoint the young prince Qin Yongfu as the crown prince to inherit the throne. At that time, Li Gang, the prefect of Jiayue, led his troops to destroy the rebels, and now the rebels have been executed, so that the people can feel at ease.

There is also a crusade against Kong Ning, the prefect of Qingchuan, who aided the tyrant and abused the king, and conspired against the emperor, which is an unforgivable crime. Jiayue prefect Li Gangqin was awarded the title of prime minister and general of the country for his meritorious service. Raise troops to suppress the rebellion.

Chapter 159 All in One Thing

Outside the imperial palace and the Golden Temple, there are soldiers like forests.

Civil servants and military generals wearing representative rank official uniforms waited anxiously outside the palace. The number was nearly half that of before. Tens of thousands of people died in the mutiny. The palace was in the center of the storm. These civil servants and military generals did not die in the chaos. , It is really a miracle, I don't know where they were hiding at that time, after the rebellion was put down, they all rushed out one by one.

On the other side stood a lot of people, including the Jiayue family of civil servants and generals headed by the old eunuch Li Gang. They had made great contributions to the king, and they stood here majestically waiting for the reward, which also showed that the Jiayue Li family officially entered Chang'an.

Although the officials of the imperial court were very upset, they did not dare to speak out, and did not even dare to show it to the public. The army belonging to the imperial court was dying or scattered. Basically, there were no soldiers. Now the people stationed in Chang'an City and the imperial palace are all Jia. Yuefu soldiers, who dares to provoke them?

They all believed in their hearts that the reason why one of Li's father and son was named General of the State and the other was named General of Rebellion was because the new King of Qin had to compromise due to the power of their father and son.

Soon, the court bell rang, and civil servants and military generals entered the palace one after another. They were arranged according to their ranks, and they consciously vacated one side of the hall. They knew themselves. If they stood there, Li Gang and his people would come in later. , will definitely drive people away, who wants to be uncomfortable?

Li Gang also led his cronies into the hall swaggeringly, seeing the vacant space in the hall, he couldn't help grinning, these guys are quite clever.

Concubine Wu Hui, who was dressed in a black plain dress, embraced the little King Qin, and sat anxiously on the brocade cushion next to the dragon chair, while the little six sons stood on one side indifferently.

Little King Qin is still waiting to be fed, so it is naturally impossible to sit on the dragon chair. Even if Concubine Wu Hui is the empress dowager and is now acting as the government, she is a woman after all, so she cannot sit on the dragon chair representing the emperor.

All the ministers bowed respectfully and shouted "Long live my king", which is tantamount to acknowledging the little prince Qin Yongfu's status as the King of Qin. They have no choice. The only legal heir is the little prince. Who else do you want to support? "Everyone's family is in peace."

Concubine Wu Hui flinched with her right hand, showing a bit of nervousness and uneasiness, which was a normal reaction in the eyes of all the ministers.

"The great king passed away, and the new king is still breastfeeding. This palace is a woman's family, and the important affairs of the country will depend on the noble families from now on."

A group of ministers hastily stated that they will do their best to assist the new king and revive the glory of the Great Qin Empire.

After expressing loyalty, the next step is to discuss business matters, first bury the former king, and then hold the new king's enthronement ceremony. The normal operation of the yamen, and at the same time to appease people, etc., a lot of things need to be resolved.

Li Wei led [-] tiger and leopard cavalry to leave Chang'an early in the morning, and rushed to Dongping Pass to join the [-] camp led by Sikong Jian. On the main road between Chang'an and Dongpingguan.

The father and son have a clear division of labor, and he is too lazy to argue with those civil servants. Naturally, this headache will be handed over to Daddy Cheap and his old confidantes. Fighting this kind of thing seems to be never tired of it.

Before dawn, Ye Bu received all kinds of intelligence and news, and the camp intercepted a nearly 2000 Qingchuan cavalry last night, killing more than a thousand enemies, but still one of the enemy cavalry escaped.

The 20 troops led by General He Jin of Zhonglang are attacking Yiyun Pass. The defenders resist tenaciously and will surely capture the city within three days.

Zhonglang General Sun Jai, who was guarding Chongyang, led an army of [-] out of the pass and approached Yulin Pass, but did not attack the city.

There are as many as 11 defenders at Yulin Pass, [-] more troops than the army he commanded. According to the dangerous pass, there are no troops several times that of the enemy, and it is impossible to attack. Even if he is eager to make meritorious service, he will not sacrifice soldiers for it. life.

According to the news sent back by Yebushou, after three puffs of smoke rose from the barren hills in Chang'an, there was a mutiny at Dongping Pass last night, and the sound of roaring and killing rang out all night. Dongping City, but did not leave the customs.

From the intelligence analysis obtained from the investigation, Li Wei and Wu You believed that Kong Ning had returned to Qingchuan Province safely, or was sitting in Jiangluo City, perhaps because they were worried about He Jin's 20 troops.

After He attacked Keyiyun Pass, he had two choices. One was to attack Sanyang Pass and directly threaten Pingjin City, the provincial capital of Qingchuan, so as to end the war earlier.

The second is to turn Yulin Pass into an isolated city between Yulin and Sanyangguan. When the defenders in the city run out of food and grass, they will collapse without fighting. However, this will take a certain amount of time.

Kong Ning was in Dongping Pass, and he was having a headache for He Jin's army, and he was even more hesitant. If He Jin chose to attack Sanyang Pass directly, it would be difficult for him. He still has a certain amount of time to fight for the Yulinguan connection. The problem is that he is not He Jin, so he doesn't know his choice.

As a result, his counselors had a lot of quarrels. Some suggested adding troops to Sanyang Pass while Dongping Pass was fixed, and building a line of defense between the two passes to stop He Jin's army. There will definitely be actions, even if Li Shi can't be kicked out of the court, stumbling and insidious tricks will delay the legs, etc. There must be continuous tricks, coupled with public opinion from all sides, in short, the situation must be good for them.

Others belonged to the radical faction. They suggested that Kong Ning give up Yulin and Sanyang Pass, shrink his troops to defend the provincial capital Pingjin City, and if necessary, he could abandon the provincial capital and try his best to defend the two cities of Jiangluo and Dongping. If you recruit young and strong men and form a large army, as long as you don't miss two passes, the army will have no worries, and you can attack Chang'an with all your strength. As long as you capture Chang'an, you can turn the world around.

Kong Ning acted radically, but not to the point of madness. Pingjin was the foundation of the Kong family’s ancestors’ painstaking efforts for decades, and he did not have the courage to let him give up the foundation on which he relied for survival. Therefore, he has been hesitant .

When the imperial court's crusade message reached Dongping, it was already noon the next day. The imperial court's crusade message made Kong Ning furious, and also made the conservatives look at each other in dismay. All of them shut their mouths obediently. The only explanation It was because of the strong pressure from the Jiayue Li family that the imperial court had to issue such a statement.

As soon as the crusade was issued, they panicked. The imperial court represented righteousness, and the Jiayue Li family could use the righteousness to send troops to annex Qingchuan in a legitimate manner.

The Jiayue Li family holds the soldiers of the two provinces, Qingchuan is the general mobilization of the whole province, whether it can resist is still unknown, and it has lost righteousness, so why fight?

For a moment, the entire Qingchuan Province was panicked, and people's hearts were fluctuating. Many aristocratic families were already dissatisfied with Kong Ning's tyranny, so they did not hesitate at all, trying desperately to contact Jiayue to leave a way out for themselves.

Kong Ning was cornered, he had no choice but to put all his wealth and life on the line.

Chapter 1 Sixty Siege

Kong Ning had no way out. He immediately ordered to abandon Yulin Pass and retreat to Pingjin City. At the same time, he desperately recruited young men and continued to form a new army.

The whole province was mobilized three times in succession, young and strong were recruited, ranging from 15-year-old males to 50-year-olds. The grievances of the people in Qingchuan finally broke out. Many families clashed with officers and soldiers. The entire Qingchuan Province was in a state of chaos, which can only be described with one random word.

Kong Ning couldn't take care of that much anymore. In order to save time, he led an army of 25 to attack Chang'an from Dongping Pass without waiting for the main force withdrawn from Yulin Pass to reach Pingjin.

Ye Bushou, who had been dispatched by Ye Bushou, had already found out that Li Wei, who had just been named a rebellious general, was leading [-] infantry troops and [-] cavalry troops to reinforce the city defenses in Yangjiang County. situation.

They said they were fighting against rebellion, but put on a defensive posture, showing weakness before fighting, which made everyone's glasses drop, if they had glasses in this era.

Kong Ning didn't care if Li Wei was his brother-in-law, and he would kill anyone who stood in his way. He had no way out now, the only way out was to capture Chang'an and coerce the Emperor to coerce the Jiayue Li family. Maybe there was a chance of survival.

Yangjiang County is one of the three counties under the jurisdiction of Dongping Pass. It is less than two hours away from Dongping Pass. Kong Ning's confidant General Ou Cheng led [-] vanguard troops to arrive at the city first, surrounded the county town on all sides, and did not set up camp. Instead of resting, they directly waved their troops to attack the city.

The city of Yangjiang County has a small wall and low defense, and Ou Cheng has found out that all the people in the city had fled early, and only [-] soldiers were defending. Li Wei's [-] cavalry were cruising around the periphery, waiting for opportunities.

The biggest characteristic of cavalry is maneuverability, and Ou Cheng, who has been in battle for a long time, would have made the same arrangement. Li Wei's deployment can be regarded as quite satisfactory. However, Ou Cheng still didn't pay attention to Li Wei, a scholar who only talks about war on paper. .

Li Wei is indeed very famous, even in mainland China, but wars cannot be solved by talking about it, reciting a few poems, and writing a few beautiful words. Strength determines everything.

Fifty thousand versus eight thousand, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is not the same level at all. It is said that there are 8000 people, and there are at least 1000 or more than 5000 logistics auxiliary soldiers and civilians. After deducting these, the real soldiers are only 6000 to [-]. .

Just want to defend a small county with such a small force?

Ou Cheng is also a relatively cautious veteran. Knowing that Li Wei's [-] Qingqi are cruising around, he looks for opportunities to move. He has [-] Qingqi under his hands, and he can hold on for a while no matter how bad he is. In addition, his cloth can resist Qingqi There was a large array of spears rushing into the formation, so he didn't pay attention to Li Wei at all. As soon as the army arrived at Jiangyang City, they immediately set up ladders and stormed.

The sound of rumbling war drums was earth-shattering. Thousands of soldiers from the Qingchuan government rushed towards the city with their weapons and shields and ladders, shouting loudly.

Ou Cheng was sitting in the middle army, watching Moxia soldiers charging, suddenly many black spots appeared in the sky, his pupils shrank suddenly, did not expect that there is a trebuchet in the small Jiangyang County?

Pieces of grinding stones fell from the sky, and smashed into the attacking soldiers. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the ground trembled.

The catapult is a heavy weapon for attacking the city wall. The grinding boulders will cause great damage to the city wall, and the momentum of the attack is very scary, but when used to attack soldiers, the damage caused is very small, and at most it can only serve as a shocking and shocking effect.

Ninety percent of Ou Cheng's [-] troops are newly recruited recruits. These recruits were frightened by the whistling boulders and their legs were weak, but they could only keep their heads straight and rush forward. Behind them was a bow Winding up, swords out of the sheath of the supervisory team, those who retreat before the battle, will be regarded as deserters and will be shot and killed.

Before rushing to the bottom of the city, there was a bang on the top of the wall, and countless soldiers emerged from behind the wall, shooting down with bows and arrows. He fell down, and for a while, the city was covered with corpses.

The shield soldiers hurriedly raised their big shields to cover the archers behind them and shoot arrows to suppress them. For a while, the air was full of criss-crossing arrows, densely packed like locusts, blocking the sun's rays.

After paying a considerable price, the soldiers of Qingchuan Mansion finally rushed to the bottom of the city, put a long ladder against the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up the long ladder.

Arrows rained down on the city, the arena rolled down like hailstones, long ladders were knocked down by long hooks, or burned by kerosene. Wave's attack.

Two hours passed, and Ou Cheng's face was still calm at this time, but his brows gradually frowned. Although the attackers were all recruits who had just been conscripted into the army, the offensive was fierce, and there were three consecutive waves of strong attacks in one breath, but Even if they failed to attack the top of the city, could it be possible that the three thousand defenders are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles?When the fourth wave of attack failed, Ou Cheng, who was looking up at the sky, finally became impatient, and shouted loudly: "Order Jiang Baiji to lead the attack. If you can't take down the city, don't come back!"

Jiang Baiji is his right-hand man. The next school is full of veterans who have experienced many battles, and their combat power is several times higher than that of the recruits. It is also a helpless move for him to put the elite into battle. The army is approaching, if they fail to capture Jiangyang County, they will be punished.

On the battlefield, recruits are indeed no match for veterans. Jiang Baiji's troops attacked and killed the top of the city in just one attack. However, the defenders occupied the danger of the city. The government veterans were squeezed out.

Jiang Baiji was not angry, so he attacked in person. He held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and climbed up the long ladder.

Jiang Baiji climbed up to the top of the city, beheaded several guards, and firmly held the position of the top of the city, covering the subordinates behind him to climb up.

As more and more veterans of Qingchuan Mansion climbed to the top of the city, the position at the top of the city was firmly controlled, and more and more soldiers of Qingchuan Mansion climbed to the top of the city and charged to both sides.

With Jiang Baekje's impressive performance, Ou Cheng stroked his long beard under his chin, and a happy smile appeared on his old face, but his smile soon froze on his face.

The closed city gate of Jiangyang County suddenly opened, and soldiers poured out of the city like a tide, drowning the soldiers attacking the city gate in the blink of an eye.

A large number of soldiers poured out from the open city gate, and quickly assembled on the flat ground, forming a large black area, and the black battle armor shone faintly under the refraction of the sun, which made people feel inexplicable throbbing in their hearts.

The defenders launched a counterattack at this time?

The muscles in the corners of Ou Cheng's eyes twitched, and he quickly issued a series of orders, ordering the two generals to lead their own soldiers to attack the enemy troops that were gathering outside the city, and the other two schools' troops to crush forward, must be wiped out This enemy force.

Chapter 161 The Final Battle

"Attack!"

Reluctantly, Li Wei gave the order for the general attack. He and three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry hid behind the two mountains in the east of the city. The tiger and leopard cavalry could not be found.

Ou Cheng made a common sense mistake. He didn't think that the 8000 men commanded by Li Wei were all soldiers, and he didn't think that the [-] infantry and [-] light cavalry were the most elite camp and tiger and leopard cavalry of the Jiayue Army.

Moreover, Ou Cheng did not expect that in addition to the 4000 trapped camps in Jiangyang City, there were nearly [-] private soldiers, and these private soldiers were all given away for free by the nearby powerful families.

Jiayue Li's strong entry into Chang'an, coupled with the crusade of the new Qin King, Qingchuan Kong's loss of righteousness is bound to fall, it's just a matter of time.

The powerful patriarchs of these aristocratic families are all thieves. They have already planned in their hearts how to curry favor with the Li family. Naturally, they will not miss the opportunity to give charcoal in the snow. They not only donate private soldiers to their relatives, but also send food, grass and silver for support.

Naturally, Li Wei would not be polite, and accepted all orders. Each big family sent two or three hundred private soldiers, and there were nearly 4000 people in total.

With nearly [-] extra soldiers out of thin air, Li Weile had to arrange for them to defend the city, and recruited people from his personal guards to act as officers to command these private soldiers, while the [-] soldiers trapped in the camp rested and stood by.

The people in the city had been mobilized to leave early and evacuated to Chang'an or other places, leaving only 50 men to help strengthen the city defenses, and urgently produced more than [-] simple catapults.

However, Li Wei and Wu You also made mistakes, they both overestimated the fighting power of these private soldiers.

The weapons and equipment of the nearly [-] private soldiers are better than those of the general army. However, although they are equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, they have never been on the battlefield, and their combat power is still not comparable to that of real veterans. The reason why the veterans successfully captured the top of the city after launching two waves of charges.

The position at the top of the city was lost, that is, when the camp was trapped to attack, and at the same time, the beacon was lit to signal Li Wei. This was a negotiated action plan.

On the flat ground outside the city, the soldiers of the [-] trapped camp had assembled, and the commander, Sikong Jian pointed at his sword and shouted loudly, "Boys, it's time to make meritorious deeds, attack!"

Long!Long!Long!The soldiers of the five thousand camps marched forward step by step with uniform steps.

The thick and solid iron armor certainly provided the soldiers with super defense, but it was very heavy, which greatly restricted the actions of the soldiers, and those who were not physically strong could not do it. Therefore, the advancing speed of the soldiers trapped in the camp was very slow.

Qingchuan government soldiers from the two schools rushed over quickly, the commander looked at the Iron Warrior in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Stop advancing, form formation, form formation quickly, archers shoot!"

The commander is also considered to be a battle-hardened man, his response is not slow, and he issues orders quickly.

Arrows rained down all over the sky, hitting the advancing soldiers of the trapped camp, and there was a burst of ding-ding sound, and the arrows were all bounced off, causing no damage at all, unless they shot into the gap of the mask, but the probability of this is too small.

Three waves of arrows rained down, and only five or six soldiers of the five thousand camps who advanced slowly fell down, which made the soldiers of Qingchuan government who lined up to fight tremble with fear.

"kill!"

Amidst the roar of thousands of voices, the soldiers of the trapped camp in the first row came into contact with the enemy. The sharp and heavy Mo Dao slashed down fiercely, the shield was broken, the armor was broken, and blood burst out.

"kill!"
