Six Hundred and Forty-Seven: Mentality Collapsed (5)
There is a saying that goes well - I just like it when you are so angry at me, gnashing your teeth, but looking at me helplessly.
Well, these words are not inconsistent at all when applied to Qi Guan Rang and the Red Lotus Sect.
Qi Guanrang was a low-key person, but that didn't mean that his battlefield style was also low-key. On the contrary, he was quite flamboyant.
When defending a city, the enemy will not be able to attack it; when attacking a city, it will be impossible to defend against it.
Even though there were not enough troops in the city and there were still many mentally retarded believers who were messing around, under such harsh conditions, Qi Guanrang still suppressed the situation. With sufficient defensive equipment and his command and dispatch, he did not give in for three consecutive days. The Red Lotus Sect was a hundred meters away from the city gate. Every time they attacked the city, the Red Lotus Sect could only leave hundreds or even thousands of corpses behind and look at the prostrate Kinmen County with sighs.
In just seven or eight days, the situation in Chengde County has changed several times.
First, Kinmen County fell into the hands of Jiang Pengji, then Honglian County was captured by the second-in-command of the Red Lotus Sect, and then the Red Lotus Sect rebels attempted to invade Qiuyu County, using their status as the guardians of the Red Lotus Sect to trick the defenders into attacking. City gate, kill one by surprise.
It was originally thought that Chengde County's behavior should be that the Red Lotus Sect and Liu Xi each occupied one county, and the rebels occupied two counties.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Liu Xi conquered another city and Honglian County was captured.
Compared with Kinmen County, Honglian County has almost no difficulty. The main reason is because An Zhen has arranged an informant in advance.
Although An Xin's sworn brothers were not very educated, they were smart and obedient, and carried out An Xin's plan honestly. While getting the city guard leader drunk in the name of a banquet, he took the opportunity to bribe the city gate guards, and secretly took advantage of the darkness of night. Kaicheng, lead Jiang Pengji into the city.
Those who were drunk were either tied up in their sleep or had their heads chopped off and died.
When the people in the city woke up, they realized that the flags on the city gate had been changed.
Jiang Pengji took Honglian County and deliberately blocked the news. The Red Lotus Sect, which was engaged in civil war inside and outside the walls of Qiuyu County, had no idea.
"The plan was executed fairly smoothly...Have the scouts sent out come back?"
She captured half of the territory of Chengde County, and was only two counties away from unifying Maranzhou.
"is back,
This is the news collected by the scouts... Fenghu County is now also a powerful place but a powerful one. It seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact it is very weak. Yang Si took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Pengji, "Master, do you want to take Fenghu County in one go, or do you want to wait for a day or two?" The soldiers were exhausted from marching day and night. For the sake of combat effectiveness, Si suggested that they should rest for a day. "
Jiang Pengji fights at a very fast pace, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to measure.
Her physical strength could keep up, and she was still alive and kicking after a few days, but those soldiers were different.
In the past few days, they had spent almost all of their time marching at a rapid pace, even taking breaks for sleep and rest. They were really exhausted.
"Let's rest for a day..." Jiang Pengji said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the new recruits from Fengyi County who have been photographed should also arrive. Although they have only been trained for a month or two, they can still come in handy. By the way, lead the army. Who is it?”
Yang Sidao said, "Zi Xiao."
Hearing this name, Jiang Pengji frowned and said, "He has bad health. What is he doing running around in the winter?"
Yang Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although the Empress Zixiao is cold in nature, he is good at the art of discriminating yellow and has a lot of experience in recuperating. After several years of recuperation, his current situation is much better than before. Even though he always looks weak, on the inside It’s not that weak. The gentleman is not weak at all in riding and shooting. He can ride a horse and draw a bow in any way. The lord always says that he has a weak body and a weak spleen... Actually, men don’t like to hear this. "
Yang Si is also not serious. The last sentence sounds like nothing, but the experienced driver can taste some connotations.
Jiang Pengji said, "I know."
Yang Si was surprised.
Since the Lord knows that Wei Ci's health is not that bad, why does he keep reminding her several times?
For a counselor, it would be really hurtful for the lord to refuse him several times to make contributions due to health reasons.
Jiang Pengji added, "In order to 'kill the monkey to scare the chicken'."
Yang Si was completely confused.
Killing monkeys to scare chickens?
What does it mean?
If the live broadcast is still on at this time, those veteran viewers will probably be happy to hear it.
Isn’t it clear what the anchor said?
It was obvious that he was pampering Xiao Gongju on purpose and showing it to others openly.
They were done with this extremely sweet dog food.
In his previous life, Wei Ci and Qi Guan had served as ministers of the same court for more than ten years, and he also had a certain understanding of the latter.
Knowing that the man guarding the city was Qi Guan Rang, Wei Ci already had a plan in mind to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.
He brought more than 5,000 new soldiers, and Qi Guan sent five or six thousand veterans to the city, totaling more than 10,000 troops.
The shouting Red Lotus Sect outside the city has more than 36,000 people. Under Qi Guanrang's efforts, there are only just over 30,000 left.
If you attack from both front and rear and attack the enemy unprepared, you may not be able to defeat 30,000 enemy troops with more than 10,000 troops and horses.
Wei Ci lowered his eyes and thought carefully, this plan is feasible.
The Red Lotus Sect is just a folk cult, with insufficient cohesion from top to bottom, and Jiang Pengji's several blows, their morale has dropped to the bottom. They have no determination to fight to the death like a last-ditch fight. On the contrary, they have not seen well and run away... Coupled with Qi Guan's resignation After several days of strong offensives in Kinmen County, they were ineffective. Instead, they caused heavy losses to their own side. The morale of the army was already weakened and the combat power was not enough to be feared.
If at this time, another blow is given to the opponent, the morale of the Red Lotus Sect will be completely destroyed.
As long as their army formation is completely scattered and they fly around like headless flies, they will win this battle.
Although Qi Guanrang has achieved great results, he is the only one who knows how hard it is.
He did not dare to sleep for several days, fearing that he would fall asleep and the Red Lotus Sect outside would attack the city like crazy.
The 30,000-strong army has six times the number of soldiers in the city!
He calculated the time and felt that it would be liberated in one or two days.
Xu Ke is a steady person. If he sends new soldiers to fight, the leader must be one of the counselors of Fengyi County.
Although Jiang Pengji's territory is not big now, there are many top talents, and some of them are partial.
No matter who comes, it is a shot of adrenaline for Qi Guanrang.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, the reinforcements finally arrived.
The Red Lotus Sect continued to shout and provoke under the city, and their throats were swollen from scolding. Finally, they chose to take action impatiently.
Qi Guanrang stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. He vaguely saw some unusual movements behind the Red Lotus Cult army, and his eyebrows were filled with the temperature of probability.
In order to show their strength and reduce the threat of the crossbow carts on the city wall, the Red Lotus Cult deliberately set up a huge formation.
However, this also caused a certain delay in their information transmission.
It was not until the dust flew in the back, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the casualties were heavy that the Red Lotus Cult in front found something wrong.
At this time, Qi Guanrang sneered.
He said, "Support our army and annihilate the cultists!"
