Chapter 1029: East becomes West (22)
|Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo in front of Jishicheng County Magistrate's Mansion
"Xiao Yanzi, this time we are going to fight side by side again." Yan Haibo was born in the Fufeng Army and was Gao Yuan's earliest follower. Wu Kai was the magistrate of Fufeng back then. It was with Wu Kai's strong support that Gao Yuan took the first step of development. He called Xiao Yanzi, but there was no problem at all.
"Haibo is willing to obey Lord Wu's advice!" Yan Haibo bowed and said,
"Wrong, I am a scholar. I don't understand the military affairs in the war. Before Commander Helanxiong comes back, you have the final say. All I can do is to summon the reserve soldiers of Jishi County for you, prepare sufficient food and weapons for you, so that the soldiers fighting on the front line will have no worries." Wu Kai stroked his beard and smiled: "In the battle of Jishi City, our three thousand soldiers blocked the 20,000 troops of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu. Today we have 40,000 to 50,000 people. Are you still afraid that the only Qin people today's Jishi City is not the Jishi City in the past!"
"That's true. Wang Xiao did not break through Shannan County, so we had enough time to withdraw from the main force. In this war, the Qin people had no chance of winning. I really don't know why the Qin people were so confident and still drove straight in. Do we all use paper mud?" Yan Haibo was a little confused and puzzled.
"You have just withdrawn and don't know the situation of the entire continent!" Wu Kai sighed: "Qin Chu joined forces. The State of Chu not only interfered in the affairs of Qi, but also gathered a large army in Linyi, and it is possible to launch an attack on our country at any time. It has been more than ten days since the last mansion report was sent. It will take several days for the next mansion report to come. I don't know what the current situation is. But no matter how critical the situation is, I think the king will definitely solve the problem of Qi first."
Yan Haibo nodded, "After solving the Qi State problem, we can draw out a hundred thousand troops. This is a decisive force, Bai Yucheng should play a role."
Wu Kai laughed, "Indeed, Xiao Yanzi, I have withdrawn all the people who can be withdrawn outside Jishi City. As for the materials, I will take them away. If they have no time to take them away, they will burn them. I have promised these people that the burned things will be compiled by the village chiefs of various places. After the war, the county magistrate's office will be responsible for compensation. In this way, except for the two strongholds of Baiyang Village and Denglin Village outside Jishi County, I have withdrawn."
"Baiyang Village and Denglin Village"
"These two villages are mainly composed of retired soldiers. Their reserve soldiers are well-known throughout the country. I mean, from the troops you have withdrawn, two more regular troops will be sent to these two villages to maintain two forces outside Jishi County. I think it is very necessary." Wu Kai said
Yan Haibo smiled, "Mr. Wu said he didn't understand military affairs. Isn't this a big deal? Maintaining two fortresses outside is indeed beneficial to the defense of Jishi City. And this time, I am not ready to defend the enemy. There are 100,000 Qin people and more than 50,000 of us. In this battle, it is not certain who will lose and who will win!"
"The king has sent Agu Huaien's Donghu Cavalry Division to take the lead in aid. This is a 20,000 cavalry. Once they arrive, you will be like a tiger with wings. The king will lead the young guards to come afterwards. Agu Huaien has set off, and the king doesn't know when he will set off."
"Agu Huai'en, that Donghu man!" Yan Haibo frowned and frowned.
"Don't underestimate them just because they were defeated by us. The cavalry of the Donghu people is even better than the Hun cavalry. These Donghu people are eager to make meritorious contributions and fight wars, but they are even more destined than ours!" Wu Kai said with a smile.
"I hope the commander will come back soon. Agu Huai'en is afraid that he won't listen to me." Yan Haibo shook his head and said
"Don't worry, he is here, I'm going to suppress him. Even if you give orders to him, I'll make him look good if you dare not listen to your orders!" Wu Kai said with a deep face.
"That's good!" Yan Haibo smiled happily. With Wu Kai's qualifications, he was not afraid that Agu Huai'en would not obey his orders.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Tang He, the head of the branch of the Supervision Bureau stationed in Jishi City, appeared in front of the two with a pale face, "Mr. Wu County, Commander Yan, something happened."
"What's wrong?" Wu Kai's face changed drastically. There were not many things that could make Tang He so panicked.
Tang He swallowed hard, turned to look at Yan Haibo: "Captain Yan, Commander Helan was caught in Li Xin's plan to lure the enemy in Siyang River. Now he is surrounded by Li Xin's 100,000 troops, and cannot escape."
Yan Haibo exclaimed: "How is it possible? Have you made a mistake? Commander Helan is experienced and very familiar with the situation in the prairie. How could he make such a mistake?"
"Li Xin swept up the grassland and kept slaughtering the small Hun tribes that did not retreat to Jishi City." Tang He walked to the map, picked up the charcoal pen on one side, and circled some places on the map. "This was analyzed from the information we compiled afterwards. These seemingly aimless massacres actually had only one purpose, that is, to lure the Commander of Helan to take revenge. These Qin troops swept on the grassland were all equipped with one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantrymen.
Commander Helan attacks any of them, and will attract entanglements of these Qin troops as if he was stabbing a hornet's nest. Li Xin set up a larger encirclement on the periphery and surrounded Commander Helanxiong into the net. No matter which direction our army attacks, it will hit Li Xin's army. As the encirclement becomes smaller and smaller, Commander Helan's activity space has been compressed to become smaller and smaller. The last information we get is that Commander Helan went toward the Aguyala Grand Canyon."
Tang He gasped and said in one breath, throwing the charcoal pen to the ground, "What should I do now?"
"What else can I do to attack, fight the enemy to rescue Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo roared, turned around and walked out.
"Stop!" Wu Kai roared angrily, "Xiao Yanzi, do you know what happened in the Aguyala Grand Canyon?
Looking at Yan Haibo, Wu Kai pulled Yan Haibo to the front of the map, pointed to a long black line, and said, "Look at it, this is the Aguyala Grand Canyon, about fifteen miles long, with cliffs on both sides, and only one exit at each end. Commander Helan entered the Grand Canyon. As long as Li Xin was blocked at both ends, we could not fight out."
"Do you understand what I mean?" Wu Kai looked at Yan Haibo of the city: "Li Xin can free up his main force and wait for you to rescue Commander Helan. Who is Li Xin? A famous general in the world, only Zhao Mu could compare with him at that time. Moreover, he was much younger than Zhao Mu. It was when he was young and strong. Our Han army could often do the tactics of besieging the city and fighting aid."
"So what if we watch Commander Helan be trapped in the Aguyala Grand Canyon? Our troops are not much less than them. Even though Li Xin trapped the Commander, I believe that Commander Helan has also caused great casualties to them. In addition, they blocked Commander Helan's troops. The people they could take out for us who would win the battle with us were 70,000 or 80,000 or 80,000. Our Dongye plus your Jishi County Reserve can also raise 60,000 or 70,000 people." Yan Haibo said
"You want to fight Li Xin, will Li Xin fight you?" Wu Kai said coldly: "You pulled everyone away, what should I do if Jishi City. If you go out and fall into Li Xin's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the Qin army's troops rushed to the empty Jishi City. What can Jishi City do to resist? Do you ask me to organize the elderly, weak women and children to go to the city to resist the enemy?"
"I..." Yan Haibo was speechless. "You stood opposite Li Xin, a general who was best at layout. Any underestimation of him will bring devastating disasters. I don't say anything about the importance of Jishi City. You also know that our Han's entire military-industrial area is in the city, with a large number of excellent craftsmen and the latest military-industrial technology. If Jishi City is lost, do you know what this means? This will be our leading advantage in military-industrial industry. The Qin people have captured these craftsmen and technicians. With the efforts of the Qin people, they will quickly reverse our leading position in military-industrial industry. Our Han will face major dangers."
"Are you just watching Commander Helan trapped there like this?" Yan Haibo's eyes turned red
"For the sake of the great man, no one cannot sacrifice himself." Wu Kai said coldly: "Today is the commander of Helan. If it is my turn tomorrow, I will not frown for the sake of the great man! Haibo, go and arrange the city defense and implement it quickly according to our previous arrangements. Commander of Helan is trapped, and the defense of Jishi City will fall on you. Until the king arrives, he will make a fool of himself."
"Then let's not care about Commander Helan!" Yan Haibo said with gritted teeth and said
"The two ends of the Aguyala Grand Canyon were blocked. It was indeed a Jedi, but don't forget that people inside could not come out, and it was not easy for people outside to go in. As long as Commander Helan persisted and waited until our reinforcements arrived, he would be rescued."
"But there is no food and grass in the Ayagula Grand Canyon, and more importantly, there is no water source!" Tang He whispered.
"Commander Helan is on the grassland, and he must have carried a certain amount of drinking water with him. It's really not possible, and he still has a war horse!" Wu Kai said
Yan Haibo hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and walked out to look at Yan Haibo's back. Wu Kai said to Tang Hedao: "Tang He, go and find the two Helan ministers, Helanmin, the elders of Helan Min."
"Minister, letting the two elders know about this matter at this time is not a problem? According to the opinions of their subordinates, it is best to hide it from them now."
"Can you hide it?" Wu Kai glared at Tang He, "Yan Haibo's army cannot move, Jishi County's reserves do not move, I must stay and guard Jishi City, but how can I really ignore the commander of Helan" (To be continued...)r1292
