Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 838
Zhao Ming immediately asked: “What about Qiu Wu?”
Everyone was silent.
Zhao Ming immediately sent someone to find Qiuwu to find out about Taobao’s situation, and at the same time sent a vanguard army to Meng County.
Qiu Wu has led the remnant army to approach the county seat of Meng County.
That night Zhao Ming sent out many scouts, and because of his careful investigation, he discovered Shi Jun when he was still twenty miles away.
Qiu Wu immediately led 8,000 people to leave the camp quietly, and he didn’t know what happened to the rest of the camp.
Walking halfway, they hid in the dense forest on both sides, evaded the night attack of the Shi army, and continued to move forward until they reached the pointed ambush site. He left 2,000 people and handed them over to Pingzhong.
He took the rest of the people to attack the Shi army camp at night.
They sent troops to attack at night tonight. There were fewer people in the army, and it seemed that there was a misunderstanding. They approached the Stone Army all the way, but they were regarded as the Stone Army who had returned from the attack, and they approached the camp smoothly.
Qiuwu killed indiscriminately, smashing the opponent’s camp and leaving. On the way, he happened to run into the peach leopard who was fighting happily.
Taobao seriously injured Xunxiu, but did not seriously injure Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun seemed to be prepared, and his losses were not small, so although Zhao Jun pulled out his camp and retreated, he did not pursue.
He felt that the opponent’s main general was injured and could no longer attack Meng County in a short time, so he could just help Zhixiong repel Zhao Hanzhang with peace of mind.
As a result, he was ambushed halfway back.
Because they were unprepared and had just gone through a fierce battle, Taobao and his party couldn’t get away for a while.
But Jiehu’s ferocity is here. Even if he couldn’t win for a while, Pingzhong couldn’t please him. Everyone basically traded their lives for their lives, and the game was a draw.
The situation was reversed when Qiuwu arrived. The two armies fought until the morning, and the Zhao army almost wiped out the Shi army. When the spoils were finally counted, a peach leopard was found in the corpse pile.
Qiuwu was overjoyed, cut off the peach leopard’s head and excitedly went back to report, but they only saw a messy empty camp, and even scattered food and supplies.
The smiles on the faces of the soldiers fell, they looked at the camp in shock and bewilderment, and then turned to look at Qiuwu.
Qiu Wu was also flustered, but his face stabilized, and he said calmly: “The peach leopard is dead, the remaining Shi army is nothing to fear, unless Zhixiong comes out of the city, so I don’t have to worry about the army, pack up the luggage , let’s go to the county seat.”
He said: “The governor is still waiting for us at the other end.”
When the governor was mentioned, everyone’s spirits were lifted, and their hearts gradually settled down.
After a night of fierce fighting, there were only more than 5,000 people left in Qiuwu, and there were more than 1,000 wounded soldiers. With this manpower, the supplies used for the siege were not available, so it was impossible to storm Meng County.
Recall what the envoy said, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, you can move around and fight, that is, hit and run, the purpose is to protect yourself and consume the opponent.
Qiu Wu lowered his eyes and thought, there is Zhao Junshou in the army, he believes that he will be able to bring the army back.
If even Commander Zhao can’t bring back the army, then the only thing he can do is to wait for the envoy to come back. All he can do is to wipe out the enemies at the end of Meng County, recover the lost land, and then go to the south gate of Meng County to attract a group of troops.
Qiu Wu marched all the way north and cleaned many villages. He only encountered Shi Jun twice, and the opponents were all small groups of people. He won all the battles, but he recruited a lot of recruits.
It’s all the people who are hiding, and there are also bandits who ran down from the mountain when they saw the flag of Zhao’s army.
None of them can be called bandits. After Meng County was occupied by the Shi army, the fled Xun family army and some common people went up to the mountains and felled the grass. This bandit was less than half a month.
Qiu Wu did not reject anyone who came, and organized them into a new barracks. When he arrived at the south gate of Meng County, his army had nearly 10,000 people.
Temporarily there was no supplies to attack the city, so they shouted and cursed far away from the city.
Many heads appeared from the gate tower of the south gate of Meng County to look around. When they saw the army lined up not far away, they couldn’t help but panic, “Zhao Jun is going to attack the south gate.”
At this time, their north gate was lost, and Zhao Hanzhang took down half of the street. The two sides had engaged in street fighting. In this respect, Shi Jun’s combat experience was far inferior to Zhao Jun’s, and Zhi Xiong became more and more irritable.
Although he is irritable, Zhi Xiong also knows that the most important thing for him at this time is to guard the south gate, and not let Zhao Jun attack from the south gate, otherwise he will really become a turtle in the urn.
So while he sent troops to guard the south gate, he did not allow them to open the gate to meet the enemy, so as to avoid accidents.
After arranging the south gate, Zhixiong devoted himself to Zhao Hanzhang.
They fought fiercely in the city, and Zhao Hanzhang was a little restrained, after all, Meng County was her Meng County, but Zhixiong already had a premonition that he would not be able to defend Meng County.
So he set fire to the house and pushed the civilians to the front to block the knife and arrow without any psychological burden. He especially liked to see Zhao Hanzhang’s hands tied because of worries.
Zhixiong was very happy. After another small victory, he happily returned to the General’s Mansion and asked about the Nancheng Gate.
After hearing this, he frowned slightly, “You mean that the Zhao army outside the south gate these two days only shouted and did not attack the city?”
“Yes, never attacked.”
Zhixiong thought about it, and asked, “Is there any news about General Tao Bao?”
“No, General Taobao hasn’t heard from General Taobao since he took people out to attack at night that night.”
Zhixiong’s eyes flashed, and he clenched his fists tightly, “No news is the best news. The Qiu Wu who came from Zhao Jun used to be Zhao Hanzhang’s personal guard, but their main general along the way is Xun Xiu.”
“Xun Xiu, a certain defeated general, I didn’t see anyone I knew well this time, either they were afraid that we wouldn’t even dare to show our heads, or their army wasn’t there at all, and Qiu Wu had nothing to attack even if he wanted to attack the city. ”
Thinking of this, Zhixiong became more confident. He turned around and said: “Tomorrow, send people out to test and find out their reality. If their army is really not there, kill this Zhao army and throw Zhao Hanzhang’s head. This time, I let her come and go!”
Responding to left and right, he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight the next day.
Fighting street fights with Zhao Hanzhang in the city is too aggrieved, even the horses can’t run, so it’s better to go out of the city to fight better.
Zhixiong couldn’t go to watch the battle, he had to go to the front to stare at Zhao Hanzhang, so he only let them go, and said: “Be careful, don’t step on their trap.”
Left and right should be down.
They didn’t know that Xun Jiajun and Qiuwu’s scouts who were gradually approaching the south gate last night ran into each other.
Qiu Wu went to see Zhao Ming overnight, so today’s Zhao Jun is no longer yesterday’s Zhao Jun.
Zhao Hanzhang in the city is restricted everywhere, and her patience has reached its limit.
When Zhi Xiong’s head appeared in the binoculars, she put down the binoculars when she saw him mount his horse and head north, and turned to ask Zhao Ze, “How are you getting ready?”
Zhao Zedao: “According to your instructions, the people in the enemy-occupied areas have been contacted, and they are willing to help, but there are few young people, and most of them are old and weak women and children.”
Young people were either caught as cannon fodder or killed.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: “Don’t underestimate the old and weak, women and children, they can do no less than us.”
