Chapter 443 Qiao Zhen is in action! The deceived Beili Army
Tongji City.
Qiao Zhendai looked silently at the top of Tongji City.
After Nangong Shouyi withdrew the troops from Tongji City, he arrived at the city in just a few days.
Now that Tongji City has gone through a period of war, the Daxia army has recaptured Tongji.
At this time, a messenger came to report.
"Report!"
"General, we have captured a man outside the main army. He said he was sent by the Marshal and has military intelligence to report to you."
"Bring it with you!"
Qiao Zhen just glanced at it and said lightly.
Soon, a man was brought forward. Qiao Zhen waved his hand, signaling the others to withdraw. He then looked at the man and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere before."
"Marquis Chen, I'm a retainer of the Marquis of Xiling's mansion, my name is Erhu!"
Two tigers?
There was this person, and Qiao Zhen smiled for the first time and asked, "How is your Marquis now?"
"My Lord is fine, but our army has suffered two defeats in two battles and has now retreated to Anshi Town, south of Jin'an. I have come here in the name of my Lord, preparing to fight a life-and-death battle with the Beili army on the Songfeng Plain south of Anshi!"
"I hope that the Marquis will march his troops as soon as possible and join my Marquis in annihilating Nangong Shouyi on Songfeng Plain!"
"Hahaha!"
Qiao Zhen laughed heartily, "Great! Great! What a great Gu Jingzhi! Using human hearts as a battlefield is even more thrilling than fighting with real swords and guns!"
original,
As early as the beginning, Gu Jingzhi asked him to lead 200,000 people to take a detour to Yuzhou, originally making preparations for both scenarios.
Everything he planned in Beichuan Prefecture was to mobilize the Beili Army and then take over any gap in Yunshan, Tongji or Jin'an. As long as he could break the deployment of the Beili Army in Yunzhou, he would look for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with Nangong Shouyi.
After Nangong Shouyi transferred the army, only 300,000 people were left. He did not dare to mobilize all the troops guarding outside Yunzhou City, so he had to mobilize the Beili Army from Yunshan and Tongji.
At this time, Qiao Zhen did not need to go around the mountain road from Yuzhou, and could go directly to Tongji City.
Tongji City, which originally had a population of 50,000, now has only 10,000. It is natural for Qiao Zhen to easily capture a small Tongji with 170,000 people.
The scene in Qionghua Prefecture was naturally a smokescreen released by Qiao Zhen. With only 30,000 people, he dragged Beili's 100,000-strong army directly to Qionghua Prefecture.
Even the 50,000 people who were transferred out of Yunzhou to hunt down Lingzhou and Daizhou were tricked into coming to Qionghuazhou.
Although these two groups of troops wiped out the two armies that attracted their attention, they were already far away from Yunzhou. It would be a pipe dream to want to rush to their aid at this time!
As Qiao Zhen thought about all this, his eyes lit up even more. He asked, "What about the Beili Army under Yunzhou City? How many people are there? What should we do with them?"
"Also, there should be over 100,000 Beili troops under the city walls of Qionghua Prefecture. Has your Lordship said what to do with these people?"
"Report to Lord Chen!"
"There are still 100,000 Beili troops under Yunzhou City, but these 100,000 are no longer a concern. The Lingzhou and Daizhou armies will soon take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack. By then, our comrades in Yunzhou City will join the battle outside the city!"
"A few days ago, my Lord sent a message to Yunzhou City, asking them to cooperate!"
"Oh?"
Qiao Zhen asked curiously, "This Yunzhou is surrounded like an iron barrel. How did your Lordship's letter get in?"
“Of course it was Nangong Shouyi who helped!”
Erhu had a strange look on his face.
The secret guards have a special potion and a special code. As long as you write with the special potion, the words on the paper will soon disappear. Then you just need to roast it with fire, and the specially encrypted numbers will appear.
Gu Jingzhi sent letters to the city twice, but in fact he had no confidence that it would succeed, so he deliberately wrote on a piece of paper the news of joining forces with the Yunzhou army to attack from both sides.
The real information was recorded on paper using special potions.
He was sure that Nangong Shouyi would find a way to divide their two forces and attack them separately.
But in this case, the cooperation of the Yunzhou Army in the city is necessary, so no matter what the information is, Nangong Shouyi must help to get it into the city.
Lin Feng knew the secret guards' methods, so...
The so-called pincer attack was fake. Gu Jingzhi's real purpose was to wait for Qiao Zhen to open up the Tongji Road, and then break in from the rear to fight Nangong Shouyi!
By now.
Qiao Zhen has captured Tongji City, and their plan has reached the final step!
After hearing Erhu's story, even though Qiao Zhen had become immune to Gu Jingzhi's talent, he still couldn't help but sigh.
This Gu Jingzhi is really brave and resourceful!
To say that he is brave is of course because he is leading a large army this time. In fact, he is using himself as bait, keeping Nangong Shouyi hanging, waiting for Qiao Zhen to come and take over.
And plot...
Whether it was the previous division of Yunzhou Beili’s military forces or the transmission of intelligence, it was enough to explain Gu Jingzhi’s plan!
"Let's go! Don't keep your Lordship waiting for too long. Otherwise, if something happens to that brat, the Queen Mother will break my old bones..."
……
Songfeng Plain.
The remaining 60,000 troops behind Gu Jingzhi were lined up and waiting.
Looking at Nangong Shouyi who was also in formation, Gu Jingzhi looked a little gloomy.
In order to lure Nangong Shouyi here, he fought two battles under the city of Jin'an and was defeated twice, losing 40,000 people.
In fact, the battle under Jin'an City was doomed to be lost. If it weren't for the difficult terrain, his original army of 100,000 would have been wiped out. After all, the soldiers under Nangong Shouyi were not only veterans who had been fighting for many years, but also had almost twice as many people as him.
It was a losing battle, so of course he would not fight to the death with Nangong Shouyi. But even so, he still lost 40,000 people.
In order to make it look realistic, even Lin Chong's elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were killed, with only a few hundred left of the original 3,000 men.
Fortunately, Nangong Shouyi had dispatched cavalry to support Qionghua Prefecture, and now almost all of those deployed on Songfeng Plain are infantry.
Nangong Shouyi looked at Gu Jingzhi with the same complicated expression.
Although he won the two battles under the city of Jin'an, the number of soldiers he lost was no less than that of Gu Jingzhi, especially Lin Chong's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry... This heavy cavalry of 3,000 people almost broke his formation.
If it weren't for proper command and the advantage in numbers, it would be hard to say who would be chasing whom.
Fortunately, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been severely damaged. In this decisive battle, it is possible that all the remaining cavalry can be killed. This is a blessing for Beili.
As the two army commanders rode their horses in front of the battle formation, Nangong Shouyi looked at Gu Jingzhi, thought for a moment, and said, "You are a famous scholar in the world. Why do you have to throw your life away on this battlefield? Why not surrender now?"
"Ha ha!"
Gu Jingzhi grinned and said, "Excuse me, General Nangong, do you know what position I hold in Daxia and what is my title?"
"..."
Nangong Shouyi was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What Daxia can give you, I Beili can also give you!"
"Heh! Then General Nangong, do you want to hear my thoughts?"
Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows.
Nangong Shouyi looked at him indifferently!
