Chapter 91, Northern Chaos (5)
At dusk on April 13, the first year of the Empire, at the Anyang Prefecture City of the Central and South-South Province, Rukas, the commander of the Gaul Infantry Regiment of the Kingdom of Falls, was looking at the information after information from the scouts in front of him with a frown.
At 9 a.m., a large number of people appeared in the direction of the temporary camp of the Benlei Army of Guangyuan Prefecture at the junction of Yanbei Province and Central and Southern Province;
At 10 o'clock in the morning, it was confirmed that the troops were the main force of the Broading Lei Army, and there were other unknown troops with a number of more than 50,000;
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lei Jun rushed toward Anyang Prefecture along Zhongnan Avenue;
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Benlei army arrived at the city of Anyang Prefecture and set up camp;
At 3:00 p.m., the Benlei Army blocked the surrounding areas of Anyang Prefecture, and the scouts were unable to go out.
From morning to 3:00 p.m., information was constantly on the desk of Rukas. In less than three hours just passed, Anyang Prefecture had become an isolated city.
Rukas also sent someone to Longyang as soon as possible. Although he had not received the news of Ars' defeat, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Moreover, thanks to Jing Zhan's harassment and invasion in the past few days, since he discovered the operation of the Benlei Army, Lukas believed that the Benlei Army was coming to Anyang Prefecture City. In addition, people had been restricted from entering and leaving Anyang Prefecture a few days ago, and today he had never opened the gate of Anyang Prefecture at all. He accidentally turned away the spies of Benlei Army who were preparing to sneak into the city.
Now, our Lukas commander is a leader who is in a state of being unable to eat or eat, and he is like sitting on pins and needles, hoping to possess the magic of spelling beans into soldiers in the legend of the empire to solve this urgent problem.
Before this, Als gave him the order to allow the Ben Lei Army to let the Ben Lei Army go. Small-scale forces operate in the border areas and try not to go out of the city to fight. But Als did not explain how he should deal with the Ben Lei Army army.
Even though Als had told him that he had only a few hundred men under his command at this moment, and the fraction of them was the three hundred men stationed in Helin Town near Anyang Prefecture. Because he was threatened by Jing Zhan's cavalry, he moved into Anyang Prefecture.
Despite this, 3,300 people, against more than 50,000 enemy troops, if there is no miracle in this battle, they will undoubtedly be defeated, and they are also very quick and straightforward.
In fact, there were not only a few thousand infantry in Anyang Mansion, but also a thousand Gaul light cavalry who were deliberately left here.
In the Kingdom of Falls, the Gaul Light Cavalry had always looked down on the infantry. After all, one of them was first-class in the continent, and one was not even a second-rate. The commander of the Gaul Light Cavalry obviously inherited this "fine" tradition. He did not listen to Rukas' dissuasion and forced his way out of the city and was defeated by the Ben Lei Army, who was pretending to be Jing Zhan, and all the horses were confiscated. The hundreds of people who fled back became infantry.
At this moment, facing the attack of the Benlei Army, Lukas, on the one hand, was more sure that Jing Zhan was the vanguard of the Benlei Army a few days ago.
After Yin* released his own cavalry, the army followed up, which was so vicious that it was impossible for them to leave.
"Why don't you surrender?" Rukas immediately denied his idea. If he surrenders without fighting, he may not be killed by the Han soldiers, but his relatives in Falls will probably be implicated. The Holy See's methods of treating betrayers are very cold-blooded.
Moreover, although the Benlei Army's army now blocked the way out of Anyang Prefecture and cut off the connection between Lukas and Longyang, it has not attacked for a long time, which makes Lukas even more unable to understand the meaning of the Han soldiers on the other side.
Is it true that these Han soldiers of the Thunder Army are just acting and will not go to war easily with their own side?
In this way, Rukas could only wait and see what happened in pain.
But Xiahou Junjie did not ask Lukas to wait too long. Before dark, a Han soldier envoy came to Anyang Prefecture City with Xiahou Junjie's handwritten letter and shouted loudly.
The gate of Anyang Mansion was quickly opened with a small crack, and the envoy was taken into the city by Western coalition soldiers.
These soldiers did not make things difficult for this envoy. After all, the Han army is approaching, and there is no news from Longyang. No one wants to offend the representative of the party who is about to become the winner under such circumstances.
"Guan Xinpeng, the staff officer of the Benlei Army, has met Lukas's commander." The Han soldiers envoy saluted Rukas without being humble and arrogant, regardless of Lukas's gloomy expression.
"Are you here to persuade the surrender?" Rukas looked cold and his fingers gently knocked on the tables in front of him.
"That is, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. In this battle, our Benlei Army is bound to win the Anyang Mansion. There are only a few thousand soldiers under his command. If you resist one heart, it is difficult to save it. It is better to surrender to our Grand General Xiahou for a while. General Xiahou promises not to hurt your soldiers and soldiers. When the war is over, you will return home." Guan Xinpeng smiled, but his words were full of threats. It seems that the arrogant generals of the Benlei Army were the same.
"Just, you can fight if you can, don't need to? Speak and see off the guests!" Rukas was also a professional soldier after all, and he still had some courage and passion for a soldier. He waved his hand in shock and anger, and the soldiers on both sides came up to coax Guan Xinpeng out.
"Do you dare to block the car even if your mantis arm is?" Guan Xinpeng sneered and let the soldiers drag him away.
~~~~~~~~
On the night of April 13, the first year of the Empire, the Benlei Army temporarily camped at the city of Anyang Prefecture, Central and Southern Province of the Empire.
The reason why Xiahou Junjie dared to unscrupulously staunch the army directly under Anyang City was that on the one hand, he had already investigated in advance that there was no Western coalition within two hundred nearby areas that could rescue Anyang. In other words, at least for a day and a night, the Benlei Army did not have to consider other enemies.
On the other hand, he had twelve percent confidence to conquer Anyang Prefecture in heaven.
Moreover, Xiahou Junjie did not want to occupy Anyang Prefecture and refused to leave. He just needed to capture it and then wrote the word "Liberation" on the battle report. As for later, he would hand over the Anyang Prefecture to a unit of the second-level legion of the East China Sea Province, the Boyang Army, which would be lost or not, it would have nothing to do with him.
According to the adult's plan, to achieve as many victories as possible and eliminate more vital forces from the Western coalition forces is the foundation for this battle of the Benlei Army.
Obviously, this is the same as what Lei Dongfeng expected the Benlei Army to do. And the adult hoped that the Benlei Army could cooperate with the Han soldiers in Tongguan to restore the entire Central and Southern Province and reduce the pressure on military and public opinion.
Of course, the biggest credit must be obtained by Ben Lei Jun!
At this moment, Xiahou Junjie was setting up a detailed plan for his subordinates to siege tomorrow.
After Guan Xinpeng, the envoy who was sent by himself, came back, he bluntly stated that the leader of the Western coalition forces in the city was unwilling to surrender, and even scolded the Benlei Army for being despicable and incompetent, and was a turtle that he could only take advantage of others' danger.
After hearing this, Xiahou Junjie laughed instead of anger, but his murderous intention was even better.
Although Xiahou Junjie hoped that Rukas would surrender at a certain moment so that he could implement the next plan as soon as possible, for some reason, he was actually very eager to fight this battle, fight hard, and exert the momentum and majesty of the Benlei Army, rather than accepting the other party's surrender.
Just like Xue Jingxuan's reposting Zhuge Ting: Fighting bloody battles to restore Anyang Prefecture, surrender without fighting with the enemy, recovering Anyang Prefecture, in the imperial capital, the results achieved by the people are absolutely different.
Now, the oral message brought back by Guan Xinpeng is not so intense that the Benlei Army is in a heated relationship, but rather an excuse for Xiahou Junjie to start a war.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Junjie couldn't help but admire Zhuge Ting, the Imperial Officer and Secretary for Administration, the Imperial Capital, the Inspector of the National Assembly, and the National Assembly member. Only such a person can arrange all this in advance.
"The battle tomorrow will be fierce. I hope you will do your best to fight down to show our army's power!" After Xiahou Junjie finished the arrangement, he looked at the generals in the tent and said.
"Sir, I am willing to be the vanguard tomorrow and take the lead!" Cao Lan, the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the Benlei Army, immediately took the lead.
"Surprising the city is not as good as rushing to the battlefield. General Cao can lead his troops to set up an ambush here tomorrow. I think the Western generals may not be willing to fight to the death. They may very likely escape in advance. If you pass by here, you must capture them all, and no one is allowed to run away." Xiahou Junjie said.
"Here!" Cao Lan had no choice but to retreat in disappointment.
"I will supervise the battle myself tomorrow. If someone retreats in the battle, behead you!" Xiahou Junjie said coldly and turned around and left.
"It's beginning." Guan Xinpeng, the staff officer of Benlei Jun, who never said anything from beginning to end, had a sarcastic smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~
In the early morning of April 14, the empire's central and southern provinces of the empire were three miles away from the Lei Army camp.
Jing Zhan stared at the Benlei Army camp with the lights flashing in the distance until the lights in the camp gradually went out, and in the end there were only two angrily wind lamps outside the gate, swaying back and forth in the whistling wind in the wilderness like ghost fire.
"Mingyang, do you really want to attack the Benlei Army's camp? In this way, at least it is a charge of attacking the comrades and conspiring to treason." Ling Yun asked.
The problem is serious, but her application and tone betray her real thoughts now - you can do it, I will get up with you.
"The Benlei Army is just here to seize the credit this time. If they let it go and let them conquer Anyang Mansion in one battle, then Ars will never come out of Longyang to help, or even give up here. Therefore, they must be stopped and give Ars time to react and make decisions." Jing Zhan said coldly.
"So yesterday you ordered us to destroy all the signs representing identity. You even stripped off all the captured Western coalition armor from the order, and left dozens of prisoners, just to prepare for today." Ling Yun sighed.
"Yes." Jing Zhan nodded.
"This may not be all your attention." Ling Yun said again. It was not that she did not believe in Jing Zhan's mind, but after these days of contact, she became more and more confident that the man in front of her was both wise and brave, especially in the analysis and grasp of the situation, she was first-class.
However, such a big move is tolerant to attack the enemy as a friendly army, but to attack the enemy as an enemy is equivalent to being an enemy of the world.
But Jing Zhan did not answer Ling Yun's question.
"I know if you don't say it. Only Li Ruoxi can think of this matter, and only you can listen to her. You are two lunatics... But do you know that once this matter is exposed, no one will clear you up, and you will even become a shame to the empire and be despised by history books. And will they be willing?" Ling Yun's face finally was not as relaxed as at the beginning. At the same time, he looked back at the Han soldiers ambushed in the dark.
"It is my own business to leave a credibility in history. Zijin, you bring the thousand brothers you joined back to Heimu Village. If I don't go back for three days, you will go back to Tongguan directly." Jing Zhan hesitated for a while and said resolutely.
"How can one thousand riders be enough to make me safe? I want two thousand riders, and I also want you to escort them in person." Ling Yun suddenly smiled and took Jing Zhan's hand.
