Originally, with Wang Hu's ability, this Pioneer would do it for him, but it didn't matter. Wang Hu's current state, if he was a Pioneer, don't be calculated by Zhao Guang. The letter king Zhao Zhen considered repeatedly, and finally nodded and said: "Wang Hu, it is not impossible to let you be a pioneer. However, you must promise me one condition." After all, the letter Wang Zhao Zhen who saw Wang Hu promised is so and so. He ordered it up.
The current Jizhou City is undoubtedly the closest city to the border between the Xinwang Army and the Liu Jiajun, and Jizhou City, as the capital of a state, is not a small city. As a border city, Liu Jiajun has made a lot of effort in this city, especially since the murder of Zhao Gou, Liu Tong has sent nearly 5,000 troops to garrison this city. Among the four veterans who followed Liu Jiajun that year, Zhong and Chao Guang, the only remaining veterans, served as the coach and vice-general, and were assisted by his adviser Bai He Xing, which shows that Liu Tong values the city.
And in a small valley 30 miles west of Jizhou City, a soldier and horse are quietly lurking here. This soldier and horse is the vanguard led by Wang Hu, whose goal is to crusade against Liu Jiajun.
Because it is temporarily stationed here, the vanguard army is not even prepared for the camp, and just rests on the spot. Among the vanguard army, the leader of the vanguard army, Wang Hu, sits on a large rock, sitting on his left and right. People are Wu Liang and Lexi respectively.
This is also one of the conditions for Wang Hu to be the vanguard of Xin Wang Zhaozhen, and that Wu Liang and Lexi should be Wang Hu's lieutenants, and Wang Hu must also follow Wu Liang and Lexi's suggestions along the way.
Needless to say, Wu Liang, Lexi's temperament is also extremely calm, with the two of them assisting Wang Hu, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen can also rest assured that the position of pioneer will be handed over to Wang Hu.
This time, Wang Hu made up his mind to destroy Liu Jiajun and avenge Wang Zhiyi, but he didn’t want to waste time. If it weren’t for Wu Liang and Lexi to hold on, I’m afraid that at this time, Wang Hu would have carried the vanguard to attack. Jizhou City is now.
"General Wang Hu. There are a lot of defenders in Jizhou City. Our troops are not dominant. It is difficult to win by storm." Wu Liang bitterly persuaded Wang Hu. This time Wu Liang was the first place under the letter of Wang Jun's account. In a true expedition, he didn't want to be messed up because of Wang Hu's impulse.
Lexi on the other side also persuaded: "Yeah! General Wang Hu. This is the first battle of our vanguard. If we lose, then maybe the general will not be able to find Liu to report his enemies? Why not calm down. Let’s think about it and see if there is any other good way to reduce losses and win the city of Jizhou smoothly.”
In fact, Wang Hu is not the kind of person who is too impulsive. He was just dazzled by hatred for a while. After Wu Liang and Lexi persuaded him, Wang Hu also temporarily calmed down, with a sullen face, nodded, and said. : "In your opinion, what is a good way?"
Wang Hu asked this, indicating that he had given up his plan to forcibly attack Jizhou City, and both Wu Liang and Lexi were relieved. Immediately Wu Liang frowned and said, "It is the veteran generals Zhong and Chao Guang who are stationed in Jizhou City. In addition, there is also the Bai Hexing. Hui Zhong and Chao Guang have high prestige in the Liu Jiajun. Sitting in town, Liu Jiajun will definitely exert the greatest combat effectiveness. And Bai Hexing, this person, I have met before when I was in Liu Jiajun. Although this person is not comparable to Zhao Guang, he is definitely a first-class wise man. He is there. , I’m afraid it’s more difficult for us to get the other party fooled!"
When Wu Liang said this, Wang Hu became a little impatient again, and said: "If you say so, isn't there no way? Humph. Let's attack. I don't believe it anymore. What would be loyal and Chao Guang, but two. How can an old man get me?"
What Wang Hu said is not completely unreasonable. In terms of fame, Wang Hu has also made illustrious military exploits in the past two years when he believed in Wang Jun, which is much higher than that of Huizhong and Chao Guang. As for martial arts, Wang Hu is already a master of martial arts, but Huizhong and Chao Guang are far behind him. I am afraid that even if they add up, they may not be as good as Wang Hu.
These Wu Liang and Lexi also understand, but the problem is that when the two armies are fighting, it is not just generals who compete. There are so many powerful generals in the world, didn't most of them also died under the siege of the army in the end. Today the vanguard army is going to fight a siege, but the number of defenders in the city is no less than that of the vanguard. If you want to fight hard, the vanguard has no chance of winning.
Therefore, seeing Wang Hu deliberately attacking again, Wu Liang said hurriedly: "General Wang Hu is in no rush. Please let your subordinates think about it, and you will surely be able to come up with a good way." Wu Liang was so forced by Wang Hu, Wu Liang His forehead is beginning to sweat, and it seems that the position of deputy general is not a good job.
Of course, Lexi wouldn't let Wu Liang take on this important task alone, and he also calmed Wang Hu while helping Wu Liang think about it. Wu Liang's mind began to work quickly. Since ancient times, the tactics of attacking the city have been described as strange, but to sum up, it is nothing more than fraud, sneak attack, fire attack, water attack and so on. If you want to break Jizhou City, you have to start from these few. Start in all aspects.
Lexi on the side also said to herself: "That Huizhong and Chao Guang are both battle-tested veterans. It is almost impossible to open the gates of the city they guard. And that damn white How can it get in the way."
Back then, Lexi followed Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to participate in the battle against Wugong Mountain. It was that battle that made Xin Wang Zhao Zhen lead his troops to a foothold on Zhao Gou's site. And also in that battle, Bai Hexing's Bai family was wiped out by the army of the letter king Zhao Zhen, and Bai Hexing's own brother also died in the chaos. After that battle, Bai Hexing left the Gubai Wugong Mountain and went elsewhere, and finally took refuge in Liu Jiajun.
Hearing Lexi's words, Wu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if thinking of something, he raised his head and stared at Lexi with widened eyes, and said, "General Le. I have a solution."
In a blink of an eye, another day passed. In Jizhou City, although there was no news of the enemy's attack, the cautious Huizhong still ordered the city gate to be closed and ready to meet the enemy. The trouble Liu Jiajun caused this time was big enough. If you act carelessly, I'm afraid that the foundation that Liu Jiajun has laid down will be ruined.
In the city guard mansion of Jizhou City, it is not the coach Huizhong or vice general Chao Guang who sits here, but Bai Hexing, the counselor who came here to assist Huizhong. Both Huizhong and Chao Guang stayed in the barracks to prepare for the battle at any time, so it is more appropriate for Bai Hexing, a literati who has no power to hold the chicken, to leave this city guard.
It was late at night. In the wing room of the backyard of the Chengshou Mansion, Bai Hexing, who was already asleep, began to sweat, with a hint of panic on his face. After a while, Bai Hexing suddenly exclaimed, opened his eyes, and jumped up directly from the bed. The awakened Bai Hexing was full of cold sweat, panting heavily, looked around in horror, and made sure that he was in his room before he breathed a sigh of relief and lay back weakly on the bed.
"My lord! My lord! What's going on?" At this time, an inquiry from the Liu Jiajun soldier guarding in the backyard came from the window, which was obviously caused by the exclamation just now.
"I'm okay." Bai Hexing waved his hand in the direction of the window, and said, "You all get back." Bai Hexing can also be regarded as Liu Jiajun's important minister, plus he has a very good face, but he doesn't want his own. The ugliness was seen by the soldiers below.
"Uh! The villain obeyed." Hearing Bai Hexing's order, the soldiers hesitated for a while, and then they retreated after confirming that Bai Hexing was really fine.
Ever since Huizhong and Chao Guang led the troops to leave, Bai Hexing, who remained in the city, was always uneasy, but Bai Hexing couldn’t figure out what the problem was, so he could only wait anxiously in the castle mansion. News of Huizhong and Chao Guang triumphantly. Now there are nearly two thousand people in the city, so as long as you are prepared, Bai Hexing is not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack on Jizhou City at this time.
But two whole days passed, but there was no news at all. In the past two days, Bai Hexing's mood has gotten worse. If Huizhong and Chao Guang succeeded, they should have returned by this time, but now there is no news, which means that Huizhong and Chao Guang have indeed encountered an accident.
As for what caused the failure of Bai Hexing's ambush with certainty, it is irrelevant now. And what made Bai Hexing feel aggrieved and helpless was that the scout sent did not come back, and now Bai Hexing only had two thousand men, and he did not dare to divide the troops out to investigate the situation.
After walking back and forth in the hall a few times, Bai Hexing directly called a soldier to come in, and asked: "Can there be a reply from Luzhou?"
The day before yesterday, when he learned that the vanguard of the King’s Army had arrived, Bai Hexing had already reported the military situation to Luzhou. Now the entire Liu Family Army has not many troops, and it is necessary to guard against Wang Zongshi's navy, so the soldiers and horses in Jizhou City are already nearly half of Jizhou's troops.
If Jizhou City is in danger, Bai Hexing can't expect much assistance from the rear. His only hope lies in Liu Tong in Luzhou. And the soldier who was questioned quickly replied: "My lord. There is no news yet, I think it's not so soon." It takes at least three days to rush from Jizhou to Luzhou, even if it is a good fast horse. I am afraid that all the horses sent to visit Luzhou have not yet arrived, let alone replying to letters.
