Chapter 402 Surprise attack on Loushan County

"Our army has just captured Wubao County and plundered countless materials and populations. The enemy must be more vigilant. It is afraid that it will be inappropriate to turn around at this time!" Wang Wei said worriedly.

Chu Wenxiu smiled and said, "It is because our army has just captured Wubao County and has plundered countless materials that the surrounding counties and counties will send troops to guard this place. Wubao County is a pseudo-dynasty imperial city and is particularly important. In this way, the garrison forces of the surrounding counties will decline, which is conducive to surprise attacks. Secondly, our army has moved Wubao County to such a huge amount of materials. No matter who reacts first, they will give priority to escort them to safely arrive. The other party would definitely not expect that our army would suddenly turn around and launch surprise attacks on other counties."

"It makes sense." Wang Wei nodded, "So, where should we attack?"

"Loushan County!" Chu Wenxiu said, "This county is at the southernmost part of Wuzhou, and is a little far from Wubao. Regardless of victory or defeat, the general can evacuate in time before the opponent's main force Jundu reacts! The robbery of Wubao County is a great victory. If you can defeat Loushan County, it will be icing on the cake. Wubao County cannot be defended, and Loushan County is not far from Jiangzhou. Taking it down can help Bashan County. If you really can't defend it, you can quickly retreat to Bashan from the sea without delay."

"If you keep it, you can use Jiangzhou's troops to enter Ma Jian's hinterland from Wuzhou?" Wang Wei's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" Chu Wenxiu smiled, "With the general's ability, the winning rate is extremely high!"

"Okay!" Wang Wei said, "I will lead the troops to turn around and attack Loushan. You and Huang Shao will transport the supplies and population back, be careful on the way!"

"Don't worry, General! My husband and I will definitely be delivered safely."

So the troops were divided into two groups, Chu Wenxiu and Huang Shao continued to march towards Jiangzhou with the looted supplies and 400,000 and 500,000 people.

Wang Wei led the main fleet and turned around and moved towards Loushan County.

When I arrived at the waters of Loushan County, I happened to encounter an enemy patrol ship and immediately launched an attack.

The Navy of Loushan County was shocked when he saw the Chinese army suddenly appear.

The news that the Imperial City Wubao County was captured and robbed was spread here. How powerful would it be to know that it was the Ghost-faced General, who could defeat the Nancheng Navy or even easily attack the Imperial City?

Secondly, due to the emergency military situation in Wubao County, the main force of Loushan County was also sent to reinforce and has not yet been withdrawn.

This made Feng Bing, the captain of the Loushan County Naval Army, feel uneasy.

However, as a naval officer, he had to protect the port of Loushan County from being captured by the enemy. While ordering the ignition of the wolf smoke, he led his army to face and block Wang Wei.

The warships on both sides fought head-on, and Wang Wei had the advantage in his troops, which was more than three times that of the other side.

In addition, he had captured Wubao County before and had spread him to such a magical way in Wuzhou, Feng Bing felt fearful.

After the fierce battle, Loushan's army was defeated and turned around and evacuated.

Wang Wei chased him all the way to the port and landed forcibly.

Feng Bing fought and retreated. Wei Ji, the prefect of Loushan County, mobilized the troops in the city and hurried to help.

The two armies joined together and then fought with Wang Wei.

Seeing that the prefect of Loushan Wei Ji led his troops out of the battle, Wang Wei thought that Loushan County was indeed not enough, so he ordered his general Yang Huai to lead a thousand soldiers to Nancheng uniforms on the ship, and quietly detour towards Loushan County. He pretended to be successful and defeated soldiers and tricked the city gate and tried to take down the city.

Yang Huai set out immediately and quietly detoured from the side.

Wang Wei led the army to face Wei Ji and Feng Bing over and fought fiercely with the other party.

Loushan County was indeed insufficient. When Wei Ji heard that a ghost-faced general appeared at the port, Feng Bing could not resist it. In panic, only a few soldiers were left to the city, almost all out of his nest.

The person who guarded the city was Wei Zhong, the eldest son of Wei Ji. Although he knew some martial arts, he was not outstanding. Moreover, he did not know military skills. If it were not for his father, it would be impossible to become an official.

Usually Wei Ji doesn't let him interfere in official affairs. It can be said that he is purely offering, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

There was really no way this time, so the main force sent reinforcements to Wubao County, so he could only guard the city.

The main reason was that the other party would send troops to launch a surprise attack.

Wei Zhong was very happy and proud. He received such an important task for the first time and was very excited on the city wall.

He didn't think too much, and he didn't think that someone came back to attack the city. After all, he admired his father very much, thinking that his father could win in the face of any enemy and would not let the enemy break through the defense line.

Therefore, taking this opportunity to show off your authority in front of the city guarding soldiers and experience the feeling of mastering real power.

The soldiers guarding the city looked down on him as the son of the prefect, but they had no choice but to cooperate.

Unprepared, Yang Huai arrived quickly, everyone was covered with mud on their faces, pretending to be embarrassed, and came to the city and shouted: "Our army is defeated, open the city gate!"

When the defenders on the city heard this, they were all frightened.

The prefect personally led his troops to the expedition, and was defeated so quickly?

Wei Zhong was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly shouted at the top of the city: "My father was defeated? Impossible! You guys are talking nonsense!"

When Yang Huai heard this, his eyes turned around and he responded loudly: "Young master, open the city gate quickly! The enemy will come here in a while!"

The prefect Wei Ji led troops to reinforce, and the people above called him dad, and his son must be called Gongzi.

Sure enough, Wei Zhong had no doubts.

The same is true for the soldiers guarding the city. I didn’t think too much about seeing their soldiers’ uniforms.

"Where is my father?" Wei Zhong looked back and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, young master!" Yang Huai was very smart and immediately replied, "The Lord of the Mansion will lead the troops behind the palace and withdraw with General Feng, and will arrive soon!"

When he heard that his father was fine, Wei Zhong felt relieved and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, Yang Huai immediately led his troops in.

Wei Zhong thought he was his own person, so he quickly came down and greeted him near the city gate: "When will my father and others arrive? Why don't you go and pick him up?"

"No need!" Yang Huai smiled, "Young Master just need to stay in the city and you will be able to meet the Lord of the Mansion soon. Come and tie it up!"

"Hmm?" Seeing two strong men rushing out from Yang Huai and quickly pressing himself down with a rope, Wei Zhong was stunned, "Bold! What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"

Yang Huai laughed: "Young Master see clearly, I am Yang Huai, the general under the command of the Ghost Face General!"

Wei Zhong was shocked and shouted in a hurry: "It's the enemy! It's the enemy! Come quickly!"

"Don't shout!" Yang Huai ordered a thousand soldiers rushed over and quickly took down the city guards who were kept in the dark.

After taking over Loushan County, Yang Huai ordered people to favor Wei Zhong and quickly set up defenses at the city gate, and at the same time ordered the ignition of wolf smoke.

Wei Jizheng fought fiercely with Wang Wei, and suddenly saw the city behind him ignited wolf smoke and he was immediately panicked: "Oh no! Could it be that the city was attacked by the enemy?"

He knows what kind of virtue his eldest son is. He really has such a little ability to defend the city and fight. It would be strange if he is not worried.

If the port is lost, it can be recaptured at any time. If the city is occupied, it means that the foundation is lost!

In a hurry, he hurriedly called out the gold and asked Feng Bing to retreat together.

Feng Bing could not stay alone to deal with Wang Wei, as that would be like seeking death. So he retreated quickly with Wei Ji.

Wang Wei also saw Fenghuo Langyan and knew that Yang Huai had succeeded. This was a signal of the two's agreement.

Now lead the troops to chase them all the way.

When he arrived at the city, Wei Ji did not see his son, so he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "Where is the eldest son now? Why did he light the wolf smoke?"

The main reason was that after I came back for a long time, I found that the city was very quiet and there was no sign of war. I felt a little relaxed, thinking that my son was messing around, so I was going to teach him a lesson after entering the city.

Wang Wei chased after him, and there was no time to delay. Wei Ji shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huai appeared on the city tower, with a bunch of ties in his hands, Wei Zhong, who was cloaking his mouth and looked frightened: "This city has been occupied by our army! If the prefect of Wei does not want the eldest prince to fall from the building and die, he will quickly order the entire army to abandon his weapons and dismount and surrender!"

Wei Ji's face changed drastically. Unexpectedly, the city had been captured and his son fell into the hands of the other party and became hostages. But as the prefect, how could he surrender?

Feng Bing saw this scene and hurriedly said to him: "Losing the city is a small matter, but losing the court is a big matter! Now the situation is critical, the Lord of the Mansion can follow me around the city and retreat to Zeshan County! The general of the ghost face chased him, and he may not be able to escape!"

Wei Ji didn't want to surrender, but it was impossible to ask him to leave his son.

The most important thing is that the whole family is in the city. If they run away, they are all in the hands of the enemy and their lives are not guaranteed!

It doesn’t matter if Feng Bing’s family is not here, he can’t do it himself!

Seeing this, Yang Huai reached out to remove the cloth piece from Wei Zhong's mouth.

Wei Zhong finally could speak, and hurriedly shouted to the city: "Dad——! Help! The child doesn't want to die! They surrounded us, and no one can get out!"

Hearing this, Wei Ji was even more panicked.

Wang Wei had already led his troops to chase him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Bing rushed towards Wei Ji and said, "Master, it will be too late if he doesn't leave!"

"You told me to abandon my wife and children and survive alone?" Wei Ji said anxiously.

"Do you want to surrender?" Feng Bing frowned.

Wei Ji fell silent, and he had no choice at all. Should he abandon his wife and children, let the whole family fall into the hands of the enemy, and life and death are in their hands; or should he destroy his reputation, put down his weapons and surrender, and be a rebellious minister?

When Feng Bing saw that Wang Wei's army was about to catch up, he immediately said, "The mansion is self-righteous, and the general is unwilling to betray Your Majesty, so take one step first!"

Immediately, I took my troops and horses to turn around and fled along the city towards Zeshan County.

Seeing this situation, Wang Wei saw that Yang Huai was in control of the situation and decisively turned around and chased Feng Bing.

Feng Bing ran all the way and wanted to get rid of Wang Wei, but he was too unlucky. When he passed the Qinghe River, his mount slipped under the wooden bridge and fell into Hanoi with his people and horses.

Wang Wei immediately asked the soldier who was proficient in water to go down the river, grabbed Feng Bing, and tied him back.

He grabbed Feng Bing, the fleeing soldiers ignored him and turned around and returned to the gate of Loushan County.

Seeing that Feng Bing was arrested, the Wang Wei army was ready to go. The morale of the army on his side was not as good as the other party. There was a hostage in his hands. After thinking about it, he finally sighed and ordered the entire army to put down his weapons and choose to surrender.

Wang Wei occupied Loushan County, and Wei Ji, and Wei Zhong and his son surrendered.

After entering the city, he brought Feng Bing to his presence: "Can the general surrender?"

Feng Bing clasped his fists and replied: "I'm willing to surrender!"

"Oh? Since you are willing to surrender, why did you persuade the prefect Wei to evacuate before?"

Feng Bing replied: "If you don't surrender, you may be in danger of your head!"

"You are realistic!" Wang Wei laughed, "What should I do if the elders and young people surrender to our army?"

"Please conceal the surrender of Mo General for the time being, and only say that he will capture Mo General and be imprisoned in prison. Mo General vows not to surrender." Feng Bing replied, "Please also allow Mo General to contact his family with secret letters and let them leave their hometown quickly, rush to Loushan County or flee directly to China!"

"You are quite smart." Wang Wei thought for a while and asked him, "Would you like to be with me?"

"Thank you, General!"
