There is a saying that is good - I just like the way you hate me to the bone, gnashing your teeth but taking me helpless.
Well, these words were applied to Qi Guanrang and the Red Lotus Sect, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.
Qi Guanrong is low-key, but it doesn't mean that his battlefield style is also low-key. On the contrary, it is quite public.
When defending a city, the enemy cannot enter; attacking a city, it is hard to guard against.
Even though there were not enough troops in the city, and there were still many brain-dead believers who were tossing around, under such harsh conditions, Qi Guanrang still suppressed the situation. With sufficient defense equipment and his command and dispatch, he did not let him down for three days in a row. The Red Lotus Religion was 100 meters away from the city gate. Every time it scolded and attacked the city, the Red Lotus Religion could only drop hundreds of thousands of corpses.
In the past 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 the identity of the Red Lotus Sect to coax the defenders into opening City gate, kill a surprise.
It was thought that Chengde County should be acting in such a way that the Red Lotus Sect and Liu Xi each occupy one county, and the rebels occupy two counties.
Unexpectedly, just one day later, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Liu Xi conquered another city again, and Honglian County was included in the bag.
Compared with Kinmen County, Honglian County has almost no difficulty. The main reason is that An Xun has arranged an informant early on.
Although An Xing's sworn brothers were not literate, they were smart and obedient, and honestly followed An Xing's plan. While intoxicating the chief of the city defense in the name of a banquet, they took the opportunity to bribe the city gate guards. Open the city and lead Jiang Pengji into the city.
Those who were drunk, were either tied up in their sleep, or beheaded directly, and died.
When the people in the city woke up, they realized that the flag on the city gate had been changed.
Jiang Pengji took down Honglian County and deliberately blocked the news. The Red Lotus Sect, which was posing for civil war inside and outside the walls of Qiuyu County, did not know anything about it.
"The plan went well... Has the sent scout returned?"
Half of the territory of Chengde County was taken by her, and it was only two counties away from unifying Wanzhou.
"I've come back, this is the information collected by the scouts... Fenghu County is also strong from outside and inside, and it seems to be guarded by heavy troops, but it's actually very empty." Yang Si took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Pengji, "My lord is thinking To win Fenghu County in one go, or to delay for a day or two
Jiang Pengji's fighting rhythm is quite fast, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to behave.
Her physical strength could keep up, and she was still alive and kicking after a few days, but the soldiers were different.
In the past few days, they have spent almost all of them on a rapid march, and even sleeping and resting is just a matter of time, and they are really exhausted.
"Let's take a day off..." Jiang Pengji said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the recruits from Fengyi County should also arrive. Although they have only practiced for a month or two, they can also come in handy. By the way, the leader Who is it?"
Yang Sidao, "Zi Xiao."
Hearing this name, Jiang Pengji frowned and said, "He's not very healthy, what is he doing running around in the winter?"
Yang Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although Zi Xiaohou has a cold celestial body, he is good at the art of differentiating the yellow and has a lot of experience in the way of recuperation. After a few years of recuperation, the situation now is far better than before. Don't look at his always weak appearance, inside It's not that weak, a gentleman is not weak in riding and archery, he can do anything when riding a horse and pulling a bow, and the lord always talks about him being 'weak and weak'... Actually, men don't like to hear that."
Yang Si is also not serious, the last sentence doesn't sound like much, but the old driver can taste a bit of connotation.
Jiang Pengji said, "I know."
Yang Si was surprised.
Since the lord knew that Wei Ci's health was not that bad, why did he raise the point several times
For a counselor, it would be really hurtful for the lord to refuse him several times to make a contribution based on his health.
Jiang Pengji said again, "In order to 'kill the monkeys to warn the chickens'."
Yang Si was completely stunned.
Killing monkeys to warn chickens
What do you mean
If the live broadcast is still on at this time, those old driver audiences will probably be happy to hear it.
The host is still not clear about this
Obviously, he was deliberately pampering Xiao Gongju and showing it to others generously.
This sweet dog food, they did it.
In the previous life, Wei Ci and Qi Guan made the same dynasty ministers for more than ten years, and he also had a certain understanding of the latter.
Knowing that the defender of the city was Qi Guanrang, Wei Ci already had a plan to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.
He brought more than 5,000 new recruits, and Qi Guan made 5,000 or 6,000 veterans in the city, totaling more than 10,000 troops.
There were more than 36,000 members of the Red Lotus Sect who were shouting outside the city. Under Qi Guanrang's wear and tear, there were only about 30,000 left.
If they attacked from the front and back, and the attack was unprepared, it might not be impossible to use more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to eat 30,000 enemy troops.
Wei Ci lowered her eyes and thought about it, this plan is feasible.
The Red Lotus Sect is just a folk cult, with insufficient cohesion from top to bottom and several blows from Jiang Pengji, and their morale has fallen to the bottom. They simply do not have the determination to fight to the death. Guarding Kinmen County, the storming for a few days did not work, but instead caused heavy losses to our side.
If at this time, give the opponent a blow to the head, it will definitely destroy the morale of the Red Lotus Sect.
As long as their army formations are completely scattered, flying around like headless flies, this battle will be won.
Don't look at Qi Guan's achievements, only he knows how difficult it is.
For several days, he didn't dare to close his eyes to sleep, for fear that if he was sleeping soundly, the Red Lotus Sect outside would go crazy and attack the city.
30,000 troops, six times the strength of the soldiers in the city!
He counted the time and felt that he would be free in a day or two.
Xu Ke is a stable man. If a new soldier is dispatched to battle, the leader must be one of several advisors in Fengyi County.
Don't look at Jiang Pengji's current territory is not large, but there are many top talents, and some are partial.
No matter who came, it was a stimulant for Qi Guanrang.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, reinforcements finally arrived.
The Red Lotus Sect continued to yell and provoke under the city, so that his throat and eyes were swollen, and finally he chose to do it urgently.
Qi Guanrang stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw something moving behind the Red Lotus Sect army, his eyebrows and eyes were stained with probability temperature.
In order to show the strength of its own side, and to reduce the threat of ballistas on the city wall, the Red Lotus Sect deliberately set up the battle to a great extent.
However, this also caused a certain delay in the transmission of their information.
It was not until the dust in the rear was flying, the killing shouts shook the sky, and the casualties were heavy, that the Red Lotus Sect in front realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, Qi Guanrang sneered.
He said, "Cooperate with our army and annihilate the cultists!"
