Chapter 113: The fierce battle 2
Then he said: "The Wei people in Shi, 80,000 people gathered under the king's tent. The vanguard went out a hundred miles and encountered the Wei people's cavalry coming like a flood. Even the scouts had no time to respond and report the news. They started the war in a hurry before they received the order of Li Qiming. When Li Qiming heard the war report, he immediately ordered the formation to wait for the effort, and sent someone to summon the vanguard to withdraw."
When Xu Jie heard this, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, why does His Majesty the Emperor trust Li Qiming? All the military orders are issued by him. Why did Li Qi know that the vanguard has already taken the battle but does not send troops to support him? The battle has started in front, so how can he withdraw? Once he retreats, wouldn't it be a defeated army and is blocked and killed by the enemy?"
Ouyang Zheng shook his head and said, "Those who talk about war on paper naturally have the truth to talk about war on paper. The 500,000 army, the combat troops are mostly infantrymen, and the civilians have more than 100,000 logistics. Facing countless Wei cavalry, it is the best way to line up and wait. The army that stretches for dozens of miles is too late to retreat into the city. The vanguard of 20,000 border cavalry can naturally retreat in the eyes of those who talk about war on paper."
Xu Jie already understood a rough idea. The 300 military soldiers in Xujia Town were abandoned like this, but there was still a reason for abandonment. They fought with the 80,000 Wei cavalrymen, and asked for blessings...
Xu Jie felt a sense of depression and unspeakable discomfort. He said dullly: "Why didn't Li Qiming enter Yingzhou City? Since ancient times, fighting with nomadic people has been a defensive counterattack method. If the city is high and the walls are not in, he has to fight with the cavalry in the wild."
"Because someone is in a hurry to win the victory in a battle, so it's better to return to Beijing to receive rewards soon." Ouyang Zheng replied.
The person Ouyang Zheng mentioned was naturally Li Qiming, who is now the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. The Privy Council is the general manager of the imperial guards of the world.
Xu Jie frowned and said nothing. Ouyang Wenfeng was fascinated by the hearing, and the chopsticks were hanging in the air and remained motionless for a long time.
Ouyang Zheng picked up the wine glass and drank it again, "The battle ahead was fierce, and the rear was rushing in a hurry. However, no one expected that the Shiwei people actually divided up a group of soldiers and horses and rushed to the formation. At that time, they only saw the dust in front of them, and the horse's hooves shook the sky. Unexpectedly, Li Qiming was panicked and ignored the matter of placing troops and setting up the formation. He hurried to see Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to avoid it."
"Avoid? The enemy is facing a great enemy, and personally expedition is to boost morale. At this time, the war is about to start, so why should we avoid it again?" Xu Jie really couldn't understand what the people in Ouyang Zheng was thinking. He just felt that this country's military affairs had become a joke.
Ouyang Zheng did not answer when he heard this, but continued: "Your Majesty's dragon chariot is golden and tall, so conspicuous. Before the formation, Your Majesty naturally cannot retreat at this time. The civil and military officials could only grit their teeth and watch the army lined up in front of them to meet the enemy. However, the Wei people in the room also saw the dragon chariot conspicuously. They rushed into the formation, and the horse's hooves were shocked, and the battle was extremely fierce. However, the horse's hooves kept rushing forward and headed straight for His Majesty. However, Li Qiming begged His Majesty to retreat quickly."
"All the civil and military officials who had been waiting for a great victory before all knelt down and asked for his orders, asking His Majesty to avoid it for a while, and then come to reward the three armies after victory." Ouyang Zheng stopped at this point.
Xu Jie seemed to have guessed: "Retreat?"
Ouyang Zheng nodded helplessly.
"The army is hundreds of thousands, and countless soldiers are on the way. I see the golden dragon chariot turning back and walking? It's a thousand miles away?" Xu Jie was already a little excited, blurting out his guess words, with a very poor tone.
Ouyang Zheng nodded and said "um", took the pot, poured wine, and drank bitterly.
Xu Jie felt even more weird and asked, "Teacher, how did that turn into a victory? How did the Shiwei people lose again?"
"Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, even if they are lined up and let the Shiwei people kill, there will be no more people. Your Majesty retreated into Yingzhou City, and saw it full of abandoned armor. Thunder was furious and left the imperial edict for Li Qiming. This battle was unbeatable, and the whole family was killed. Li Qiming looked at each other with the imperial edict, and watched His Majesty turn around and leave the city and return to the capital." Ouyang Zheng said slowly.
At this time, Ouyang Wenfeng also looked angry and couldn't help but continue: "How can he win this incompetent person in Li Qiming?"
"Li Qiming cannot win, but someone can win. Gao Polu, the general of Datong, heard the war report, led 4,000 remaining soldiers out of Huairen to the battlefield to rescue the vanguard's iron armor. The vanguard's 20,000 iron armor were all soldiers from the border towns, and there were also many people who were good at fighting. After fighting with the Shiwei people for a whole day, the Shiwei people also suffered a lot of losses. They set up camps and set up camps. A few of them fled to several small forts to defend and wait for assistance. Gao Polu took advantage of the night to save six forts and arrived in Yingzhou in the middle of the night. There were 20,000 vanguards, and only less than 2,000 left." Ouyang Zheng was already watching Xu Jie when he was talking about this. The story Xu Jie wanted to know was already clear.
What can the four members of the Xu family, even if Xu Bo briefly became military generals during the chaos? In this battle, he was like an ant, and he could control his own destiny by himself. The rain hits duckweed and sway with the flow.
Xu Jie was angry and was very angry. At this moment, he didn't know who to send it to, and he could only curse: "Fuck..."
Ouyang Zheng heard Xu Jie's slander and scolded him, but he didn't take it seriously. He just sighed and said, "Gao Polu entered Yingzhou City, but Li Qiming treated him as the backbone. Gao Polu gathered the remaining defeated soldiers and weapons everywhere. He guarded Yingzhou City for 43 days. The Wei people in Shi were unable to defeat him, and countless casualties were injured, so he retreated."
When Ouyang Wenfeng heard this, he felt relieved: "Father, I won after all. Just win."
Xu Jie said, "Teacher, aren't there only a few thousand people in Shiwei who escaped? Isn't it a big victory?"
Ouyang Zheng smiled bitterly and replied: "The Shiwei people retreated, so the Shiwei people were defeated, and countless bodies were left in Yingzhou City, and many of them were also damaged by the striker Iron Cavalry. It is true that the Shiwei people suffered heavy losses, but how much of the Shiwei people lost and the number of casualties was just what Li Qiming said casually. Who can say that it is wrong?"
"Father, the battle won, everyone is happy. Why... why... was demoted again?" Ouyang Wenfeng thought to ask this question for many years. Today, he finally asked it, asking very cautiously.
Ouyang Zheng had mostly smiled bitterly before, but at this time he was only bitter: "Do you know that Yuan Shao and Tian Feng at the end of the Han Dynasty? Although his father is not as straight as Tian Feng, there are these reasons. He was very energetic at that time, after returning to Beijing, he impeached Li Qiming in the court repeatedly. He even knelt down and asked His Majesty to punish Li Qiming, forcing His Majesty to have to instruct the Jinwu Guard to take his father out, but he was the second day and couldn't kneel down again... so many times..."
The story of Yuan Shao and Tian Feng is simple. Yuan Shao took the initiative to send troops to fight against Cao Cao, and Tian Feng tried his best to dissuade him and offered a plan to slowly plan. Yuan Shao refused to listen, but only thought that the army of 100,000 easily crushed Cao Cao. Tian Feng even tried his best to dissuade him, and even hinted that Yuan Shao would fail in underestimating the enemy like this. Yuan Shao really returned with a defeat and immediately killed Tian Feng.
Ouyang Zheng was bitter, and Xu Jie didn't know how to answer the words, but said: "The General Gao is really extraordinary and turns the tide."
Ouyang Zheng waved his arm in the air when he heard this, and almost burst into tears: "Gao Polu confiscates his house and beheads!"
