The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 13: Anze defeated
Su Qing, a native of the Northern Han Dynasty, joined the army because of family feuds when he was young. He was bold and courageous, especially the hero. The disciple of the Wen family, Chu Xianghou didn’t think he was disgusted, so he used his commander-in-chief as a scout and made many contributions.
——”The Biographies of Yong Shi Cheng Hou”
Walking out of the cabin, the bright spring sunshine made Su Qing close her eyes slightly, and the joy of seeing the day again made her smile a little bit on her lips. There was a rapid breathing not far away, Su Qing looked up Going, I saw Hu Yanshou standing there at a loss, looking at himself hesitating to speak, but a tough and mighty man looked very embarrassed. Su Qing’s heart moved. She knew that Hu Yanshou was moved by herself for a long time. At this time, Ruyue whispered to her: “Miss, that day, General Huyan took you back to the boat with his own hands.”
Although Su Qing has a heart of iron and stone, he can’t help but feel red, thinking of the warm embrace he felt in the dimness when he was weakest that day, it turned out that it was this person, and there was warmth in his heart, but after another thought, Su Qing The look became cold and solemn. Although Hu Yanshou was only a third-rank general in name, and his actual power was not as good as himself, as the deputy commander of Hu Xunwei, he was sent by the emperor to protect Chu Xianghou. This man has a promising future. Although he has a high status in the army, after all Only Si Wencao belongs. And now that his secret has been revealed, the emperor is thinking that he will not be held accountable for his own merits, but it is very possible to lose his military position. I don’t care about these. If I can see the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, my future will not be ruined. What’s the relationship, but if it’s because you drag others down, it’s not good. There is absolutely no possibility between yourself and this person.
Thinking of this in her heart, Su Qing said coldly: “Thank you, General Huyan, for your kindness. The final general will return to the army, and there will be a period later.”
Hu Yanshou saw Su Qing’s look cold, and his enthusiasm was almost frozen, but he thought of the scene a few days ago, but he was still heartbroken. On that day, he saw the strongest and most vulnerable woman in person. He still can’t forget his appearance and that kind of strong impulse, but after another thought, Su Qing not only looks beautiful, but also has great martial arts skills and outstanding talents. He is just a commander of the Forbidden Army. How can he be worthy of this? The strange woman finally took a step back under Su Qing’s indifferent gaze, and she admired in her heart: “The soldiers are in danger and the war is fierce, and the future of General Su is cherished.” Su Qing smiled faintly, and said: “Thank you, General, Su Qing will cherish it. Life.”
From the army boat to the shore of Qinshui, there was Su Qing’s subordinates waiting anxiously. Seeing Su Qing coming ashore, they bowed down at the same time: “Subordinates, see the general.” Su Qing saw them. All her expressions were solemn and faintly joyful, knowing that these subordinates did not feel alienated from them, but she did not want to show fragile emotions, but coldly said: “Go to Anze.” Then she took them. The rein of the passing horse rushed out first. Those scouts looked at each other with great joy. For them, Su Qing’s identity is not important. The important thing is that this woman was born and died with them for many years. This kind of robes is what they value most. Things, let alone Su Qing’s talents make them admire them in their hearts.
Standing in front of the ship’s porthole, I smiled and watched what happened below, and said: “Xiao Shunzi, you also called Su Qing, why didn’t you notice his relationship with Wen Ziyan?”
Xiao Shunzi was silent for a moment, and said: “The slave has already seen this. Su Qing’s swordsmanship is inherited from Wen Ziyan, and Wen Ziyan’s swordsmanship is actually quite different from that of the Fengyimen. Spicy and ruthless, there are few fancy moves, but the minion wants to smell Ziyan, who is determined and determined. Su Qing’s personality is similar to that of smelling Ziyan, and should not be in the same way as those in Fengyimen, so the minion did not expose the matter. .”
I smiled and said: “Are you worried about me cutting the grass and roots?”
Xiao Shunzi said coldly: “The young man probably can’t do it, but it is the young man’s ability to use people thoroughly. General Su is not the kind of person who can be used to deceive. The minion doesn’t want him to be with her. Forged a deep hatred, so I didn’t expose the matter.”
I couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. Xiao Shunzi really knew who I was. If I knew Su Qing’s identity before that, I would definitely send her to Nan Chu. Now I feel that I have some control in Nan Chu. Not rigorous enough, and probably deceived her many things. This is my habit of employing people. Apart from my direct line, I don’t like to tell them all, but Su Qing is now in this situation, but I only Can choose between reusing her and dismissing her.
For me, there is no doubt about Su Qing’s loyalty, and she has a high prestige in the secret spy. For the soldiers below, the battle for power in the court is actually a relatively remote thing, Su Qinghe Feng Yimen’s affiliation did not make them distrustful. Those soldiers who knew of Su Qing’s identity were shocked because they were mostly worried that Su Qing would be affected by it. After all, the crime of treason was implicated in the nine tribes. They might not care about Su Qing’s identity, but they would care about the upper ranks of the military. Cleaning, after all, this will involve many people and even themselves.
Under such circumstances, pardoning Su Qing is more in Dayong’s interest, but this is just my idea, and my ability is just to prevent Su Qing from being contacted by the military during the Battle of Qinzhou. The final decision The emperor still has to decide. The final result is not very easy to speculate. Although the emperor has always been graceful and generous, he is the emperor after all. The emperor’s most important thing is the throne and Sheji. Once the emperor almost died, although the emperor showed respect for Wen Ziyan, but the best enemy is the dead enemy. If Ziyan is dead, it does not matter, and if Ziyan is alive, I am afraid it will Being first shown to the public by the owl, Su Qing’s fate is still in between.
I look at the secret folds on the table. Actually, I don’t want to pass the folds up right now. It’s better to wait until after the Qinzhou Battle is over. But I don’t assume that there is no Xiahou Yuanfeng Mingjian Division in the army. People, and Hu Yunwei will pass it up. Even if Hu Yanshou is obviously in love, it’s better to submit it early than to hide it. At least with my face, you can save Su Qing’s life. , This woman is better than beard, and I really admire it, even Xiao Shunzi has the heart to do it, let alone me.
At this time, Hu Yanshou walked in desperately and said: “His Royal Highness has a military report from that side, saying that the Anze garrison is very fierce, and the water army is used to transfer the water camp to help. In addition, Your Highness invites adults to the Chinese Army to watch the battle.”
I frowned slightly. Why did the North Han Army resist in Anze? According to the truth, Qinyuan City is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the food path is stable. The North Han Army is obviously inferior to our army. In this way, it is more reasonable to take advantage of the situation to lure the enemy into deep, stick to Qinyuan, consume our strength, and then use elite cavalry to fight our army. But I don’t think about things that I don’t understand for the time being. Anyway, King Qi and the others are veterans on the battlefield. They will not fail to see these doubts, nor will they be unprepared. Looking at Yunshan amiably, this Northern Han Dynasty is really a tough bone. I hope my strategy can be successful. Of course, it would be better if I didn’t use it.
Looking at the Yong army swarming under the city with cold eyes, Duan Wudi looked solemn, mobilizing men and horses from time to time to guard the city as stable as Mount Tai. The preparations for defending the city in Anze were very sufficient, and the troops were quite sufficient. Duan Wudi defended very well. Strict, but this still can’t relieve the fatigue in his heart. It has been four days. The Yong army has a large number of troops, taking turns to attack the city, the rhythm is strict and smooth, and the attack is continuous day and night. No matter how good he is at defending the city, it is almost impossible to support. The arrow rained continuously on the city, the catapults and crossbow machines almost never stopped roaring, and the boiled oil and lead water of rolling woods and rocks destroyed the whole body of Anze city wall. Some parts of the clay behind the wall bricks have been exposed. It is only a matter of time before Anze Castle breaks. Duan Wudi rubbed his forehead tiredly. After the last poisoning, his physical strength has not been good enough and he gets tired easily. Duan Wudi forcibly supported himself and looked down the city. The army of the Yongjun army was wearing a golden armor and wearing a golden armor and a red brocade robe, sitting on a chair with a Qingyi scribe and talking and laughing. Very happy, this sight hit the North Han army even more than the endless siege.
Duan Wudi looked at it coldly for a moment, waved the flag, the Qinzhou navy rushed out from the water gate west of Anze, and went around the main attacking direction of the Yong Army to the south. A crossbow bow rang, and the Yong Army was attacking the city early. They were ready to carry shields to avoid the rain of arrows, but the strength of the attack on the city was naturally weakened. Anze repelled this round of onslaught by the Yong Army. When the Yong Army’s navy ships appeared, it was fundamentally It is impossible to stop the retreat of the North Han Navy. Yesterday, when the water camp of Zezhou first arrived, Duan Wudi once used a trebuchet to destroy a warship of the Yong army. Since then, the warship of the Yong army has never dared to approach the water gate of Anze.
Seeing this group of siege Yong army retreat, another group of Yong army slowly approached, Duan Wudi sighed, let the defending sergeant start to change defense, they have been fighting for half a day, they should be let them Going down for a rest, looking up to the north, Duan Wudi thought to himself: “Why hasn’t the general’s reinforcements come yet? The general said that as long as I keep for five days, there will be nothing for me, but today is the fourth day. “Just as he was worried, a guard hurried over and said: “General, the general’s messenger has arrived, please do what you plan to do.” After that, he handed over a letter. Duan Wudi hurriedly opened it, and after only looking at it for a moment, he was ecstatic, with an unconcealable smile on his face. Often the Yong army under the city, Duan Wudi’s eyes showed cold murderous intent.
At this moment, I am also disturbed in the city. If things are abnormal, it is a demon. Duan Wudi is not a stupid person, and Long Tingfei is not an idiot. A situation like An Ze can’t stop our army’s edge. If it is in Qinyuan Defending firmly means that it is impossible for our army to conquer the city for a month or two. In Anze, although Duan Invincible’s defense is tight, the height of Anze’s city wall is not thick enough to stand by for help. Why don’t they retreat? Ze arrives at Qinyuan, the middle mountains are undulating, and the hills are endless. If they gradually retreat, relying on those city walls, they can hold us back for a month. In fact, I never planned to use any cunning means to attack Anze, or even Qinyuan. , Here, we can only rely on our army to attack by force. Looking at Anze, who seemed to be crumbling but standing firm, the doubts in his heart could no longer be concealed, and he couldn’t help but ask: “His Royal Highness, can Su Qing have a military report?”
The king of Qi frowned and said: “Not yet, but yesterday we arrived at the second batch of baggage, and also brought a few god-arm crossbows, which should be available for siege tomorrow.”
I lightly nodded my head and looked into the distance. The sun was setting and the sky was dim. I didn’t watch the siege at night. I hope I can see Anze’s broken city tomorrow. Why didn’t Su Qing move? I couldn’t help it. Thought of some unlikely possibilities.
Su Qing was sneaking through the mountains in gray-yellow underwear. After she returned to the battlefield, she soon discovered that the situation was somewhat abnormal, although the North Han army blocked the Yongjun to Anze, and then arranged The secret spy intercepted and killed the scouts who crossed the Anze line of defense, but Su Qing still blended into this area with martial arts and familiarity with Anze’s geography. Fortunately, there was an endless stream of refugees here and still had not completely withdrawn to Qinyuan. The weirdness of this situation caused Su Qing to temporarily give up the separation from An Ze’s military heart. After all, if there were no accidents, An Ze would not be able to guard it, and her duty was to prevent this accident from happening as much as possible.
She used the snaking method to skim the tightly guarded hillside, relying on her clothes and the color of the soil and grass to be similar, finally found a suitable place to look at the military situation, behind the hill, it is the river that runs through Qinzhou ——Qinshui, Su Qing’s eyes suddenly showed horror, she saw what she was looking for. It was a dam. There was nothing abnormal underneath, but there were some open and closed water outlets on the top. The Qin water flowed down rapidly through these holes, and next to the dam and connected to Qin Water was a large lake several miles in radius. Countless thoughts flashed in Su Qing’s mind. In his memory, this lake is not the original one. Seeing that there are traces of fire around the lake, it must have been a large lake formed by the Northern Han army in winter by cremation to remove the ice and then excavating. In the spring, when the Qinshui River is rising, the design of the dam is very clever. As long as the lake is filled with water, the Qin Water can still flow down the river, so that the water level of the Qinshui cannot be seen downstream. After all, this The water of a lake is not obvious compared to the whole Qinshui. But only need to seal the water outlet above the dam for one day, and then destroy the dam. With the help of the terrain and water power, it is enough to form a torrent that can annihilate thousands of troops. Twenty miles below is Anze, where is Yong Where the army and the Northern Han Dynasty confronted each other, once the flood flowed away, the Yong army would inevitably be wiped out, and the Northern Han Army protected by the city wall would not suffer heavy losses.
Resisting the horror in her heart, Su Qing retreated slowly, very slowly. She didn’t want to show her shape at the last moment. She was lucky. A few days ago, this place was still heavily protected. Now the war is busy, here again It will be launched soon, so there are not too many North Han spy agents. Most of them went to the front to investigate the military situation or clear out the spies from the refugees. This was also Xiao Tong’s momentary mistake. In his opinion, Su Qing, the best of the Great Yong’s Secret Spy, should be detained or even executed. It is difficult for other secret spies to reach this place through heavy blockades with this ability. Finally returned to the hiding place safely, Su Qing estimated the time, and ran to Anze with a wry smile. There is no way. There are many eagles and falcons of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the homing pigeons are not useful at all. It was even more difficult for other scouts to send the letter back safely, so she had to rush desperately. Although it was only a short 20-mile journey, in order to break through the blockades, Su Qing did not dare to expect to return to Anze soon, but silently prayed, hoping to return to Anze before the North Han Army was launched.
Under the city of Anze, King Qi looked angrily at the water gate to the west of Anze. Today, the North Han naval forces have repeatedly attacked. It really made him an eye-catcher. Seeing the general noon, there was no sign of breaking the city. Unable to be cruel, the king of Qi finally ordered two groups of naval forces that arrived in Anze to take the initiative to attack. The North Han navy must be trapped in the city, but unexpectedly, the North Han navy was a new army after all. Under the tactics of the Da Yong Shui Army’s separate advancing and combined attacks, the way back was blocked, and it had to retreat upstream. To achieve its goal, the Da Yong Shui Army was too lazy to chase, simply blocked the west gate of Anze, and used the ship’s trebuchet and ballista to attack Anze. The west city wall launched an attack. Blocks of boulders smashed against the city wall, and a series of crossbow arrows shot towards the city head. The arrogance of Lieutenant General Anze’s garrison was immediately knocked down. Seeing this situation, all the troops were overjoyed. They were all working hard to attack the city. The ladder wells leaned against the city wall, and blue and black figures began to appear on the city wall. Li Xian was overjoyed and pointed to the city head. If it weren’t for the dangerous terrain of Anze, with a cliff behind and Qinshui on the west, where would we need so much time to attack.”
I smiled slightly, but my heart became more uneasy. It was too easy. Who is Duan Wudi? I have seen information about him. There is no problem holding Anze for more than ten days. The king of Qi said yesterday that he wanted to break the city today. I just listened to it, but today Duan Wudi is sharp, but it is not the old style, defending the city and defending the city, it is a bit unreasonable to attack frequently, and although the mistakes of the North Han Navy are reasonable, they are somewhat reasonable. Suspicious. I stared at Anzecheng thinking about what was on my mind. If the North Han army really had a conspiracy, how should we proceed? The North Han army is not as powerful as our army, and our army has no omissions in attacking the city. The enemy is just using any means. It may hurt our army, unless it is merciless. Thinking of this, my heart suddenly shuddered. Why didn’t I think of this before, maybe because I didn’t have the intention of winning. Anxiously, I brought a map with a radius of fifty miles from Anze. I studied it carefully, and my eyes fell on the Qinshui. The terrain in this area is steep and steep. If water is stored in the upper reaches, the Yongjun can indeed be flooded. Although calculated according to time, this The project should be huge and it cannot be completed within ten and a half months. Qinzhou was still in the freezing period and it was very difficult to do so, but our army is about to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that it may not be impossible. These seemingly impossible things. Although there are some clues in my heart, I can’t help but frown. There is no proof. How can I make King Qi withdraw? This cannot convince the generals. It is not easy to convince King Qi. When I was hesitating, a ride from a distance came from a distance, and immediately the man was holding the Fengxing flag in the Qi king’s army. It was a token used by scouts. No one dared to block their way. The Yong army in front of him thought He blocked it, but he saw the flag in his hand and avoided him. The man flew to the Chinese army and dismounted and said anxiously: “Your Royal Highness, Master Jianjun, the Northern Han Army built a dam at Feiyunxia twenty miles away. Water, I am afraid today is the time to release water.”
Although I have been aware of it in my heart, I still can’t help but give a stunned sound. When I look carefully, the man is Su Qing, but now he is described as haggard, his clothes broken, and there are wounds on his arms that are wrapped in a placket. It took a lot of hard work to get here. Li Xian was also shocked when he heard this. He suddenly stood up and asked, “But the truth?” I stood up and said in awe, without waiting for Su Qing to answer, “His Royal Highness, the situation of the Northern Han Army is different, and the ministers thought it should be so.”
Li Xian was determined. He glanced at Su Qing and then at the map in my hand. He said flatly: “Now I don’t know when they will release the water. Our army must not retreat rashly, Xuan Song, you command the siege soldiers slowly. Retreat, I will lead the guards to break, you must withdraw from both sides of the Qinshui, do not slacken, let the navy go down the river, the sooner the better, follow the cloud, don’t follow the navy, let the tiger guard protect you first Take shelter nearby.”
At this time, I don’t care about courtesy anymore. Xiao Shunzi helped me get on the horse, and I whispered: “His Royal Highness must not take risks lightly. There is still the overall situation that needs to be controlled by Your Highness. This time we know the enemy in advance. Military tricks, even if the losses are heavier, they will not be overturned.”
Li Xian flashed a cold light in his eyes and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not a person who doesn’t know the severity and will not die casually. You go first. I will leave in time when the army starts to retreat. I’m going too far now. Yes, I am worried that the military will be upset. General Su, you know the geography of this place, so you can protect Lord Jiang from leaving. After the water recedes, you can quickly join the Chinese army.”
Su Qing nodded quickly and turned on the horse. Our group of more than 100 people quickly left the battlefield. We were not originally from Zezhou Camp. Although we walked abruptly, we did not attract too much attention from our soldiers. When I left, I heard the trumpet noise behind me. I thought that King Qi was preparing to retreat. I wished that King Qi and the soldiers of the three armies could retreat safely. After all, if I failed miserably here, then my plan below would not be realized. .
When I left Anze City for nearly twenty miles, a loud rumbling like thunder came suddenly in my ears. I yelled “Bitterness” in my heart. It must have been the North Han army releasing the water. Knowing that King Qi will come or not and retreat safely. But I can’t take care of the things over there, so I can only run wildly. Who knows how far the water can go, I still run as far as possible. While cursing Long Tingfei and Duan Wudi in my heart, I cursed myself why I didn’t think that the enemy would attack with water. I rushed to the road. Fortunately, I still practice riding in the army these days, otherwise it would be difficult to escape now. Up.
At this moment, the city of Anze has become a **** on earth, and the water is rushing straight down the Qinshui River~IndoMTL.com~ It was originally a white line in the sky, and within a moment, it has revealed its hideous real face, then The turbid river waves are several feet high, like a frightened beast, rushing arrogantly, and the thunder from heaven and earth can crack the eardrum of the listener, but looking up is the clear sky, the mighty flood, and even this. The flood passed by on the west side of Anze City and immediately surrounded Anze City. Although the water gate on the west side was closed, the river rushed into the city along the water gate. The turbulent wave raged in the city. Duan Wudi had already The military and civilians in the city have arranged holes for the water to drain, but the door was opened first in the inner city, leaving the floating soil on the outside not pierced, and the inside was only blocked with bricks. Once the flood passed, the city wall immediately opened a big hole. , The flood passed through the city. Even so, standing on the tower and seeing the flood in the city, Duan Wudi was still uneasy. He didn’t want a city of soldiers and civilians to be buried for the Yong army, and the Yong army did not know how to get the news, so he retreated early. Send the letter, I’m afraid that the flood will only flood an Anze city.
The defenders in the city of Anze are protected by a wall and can still survive, and the Yong army outside the city has suffered heavy losses. Although the king of Qi ordered the cavalry to leave with one horse and two men because of timely news, the Yong army had 40,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry under Anze City. Although there were more injuries in the past few days, the cavalry tried their best to carry them. The Yong army with nearly 5,000 men can only retreat on foot. No matter how fast their legs run, they can’t be faster than the flood. Most of them are ducks who don’t know the water, and almost all of them are lost in the flood. The Great Yongshui Army suffered even more severe losses. The floods spread, and most of the warships and heavy ships were destroyed under the torrent. Fortunately, most of the soldiers above were mostly urban water. With the extraordinary water quality and the floating ship boards, most of them People escaped their lives, but it was a pity that the warships of Zezhou Shuiying and all the belongings of the Yong Army were almost destroyed in the Qinshui.
