Chapter 2856: The Battle of Dingtao, the Power of Killing God (Central)


    Chapter 2853: The Battle of Dingtao, the Power of Killing God (Chinese)


    Jiyin County, Juyang County, Bai Qi''s main army is here.


    Juyang is a county town located slightly easterly between Lihu and Dingtao.


    The cavalry can easily avoid Juyang from Lihu to Dingtao, but it is difficult for infantry to avoid it. Therefore, after Bai Qi drove away from Lihu, his next target was not Dingtao, but Juyang.


    Like Li Hu, Juyang is a small city with only 200 county soldiers, and it is absolutely impossible to stop Bai Qi''s army.


    Zhang Nai, the general of the Guyang Guard, was also a general surrendered by the Yellow Turbans, just like Ma Shouying.


    In the official history, Zhang Nai was Li Zicheng''s general and was promoted by Li Zicheng from his son''s army. Because of his repeated military merits, he was adopted as his adopted son.


    After Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng, Zhang Nai followed Li Guo into Pingjiang County, Hunan, and defended himself. He was eventually surrounded and killed by the Qing army.


    Although Zhang Nai in this life was also highly valued by Li Zicheng, before he could even take him as his father, Li Zicheng died in Cao Cao and eventually surrendered to Cao Cao together with Ma Shouying and Liu Tichun and others.


    Although Ma Shouying went to Dingtao this time, his main task was to surrender Liu Tichun, Zhang Nai also had great value to win over, so he persuaded Zhang Nai to surrender while passing by Juyang.


    So Bai Qi did not delay time in Juyang, and before he even arrived in Juyang, Zhang Nai had already sent someone to submit the surrender form in advance.


    "Report to the general, there is a letter from General Deng Jiugong Fei Ge."


    “Quick, come on.


    After receiving the letter, Bai Qi immediately browsed it in one glance.


    When he saw that Deng Jiugong had repelled Cao Ning and seized Dingtao with the cooperation of Liu Tichun, even Bai Qi couldn''t help but smile, after all, this meant that Chen Liu''s Cao''s army could not escape.


    But when he learned from Deng Jiugong''s letter that Cao Cao had mobilized all the cavalry and powerful generals, and he was about to arrive in Dingtao for half a day, Bai Qi couldn''t help but frown and wondered how to break the deadlock.


    From Juyang to Dingtao, it will take as fast as one and a half days for Bai Qi to march at full speed.


    In other words, if Deng Jiugong wanted to defend Dingtao and reinforcements arrived, he had to block Cao Cao''s 15,000 reinforcements for one day.


    Dingtao is also a strong city. It seems that it is not long to defend the city for a day, but not only are the elite cavalry coming to assist the Cao army, but also gathered most of the powerful generals of Cao Wei. Deng Jiugong and Deng Xiu and his son naturally cannot be opponents.


    Bai Qi immediately thought of sending cavalry to support him, but although there were still cavalry in his army, the number was not large, with less than three thousand cavalry left.


    Although most of these three thousand cavalry were Flying Tiger Army, who could arrive in Dingtao before infantry, the result of sending cavalry to support was nothing more than collision with reinforcements coming to Cao Wei, and then a great war broke out.


    Without Li Cunxiao, even the Flying Tiger Army could not be the opponent of 15,000 Cao Wei Jingqi, so the result of sending cavalry to support was only increased casualties.


    Moreover, the real dilemma faced by Deng Jiugong is not that there are few soldiers, but that there are shortages of generals.


    The lineup of the Cao Wei generals who invaded this time was too strong, not only Yin Shou, Dan Tai Yu, but also Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun.


    On the other hand, there were only Deng Jiugong Deng Xiu and his son, as well as the already injured surrendered general Liu Tichun.


    The gap between the generals of the two sides is too big.


    Although there are many generals in Bai Qi''s army, such as Ju Yi, Han Meng, Zhu Ling, Xiao Yan, Wei Rui, Fu Youde, etc., except for Fu Youde, they are all good generals, not powerful generals. Even if they are sent to Dingtao, they will not play much role.


    Bai Qi probably never expected that one day he would face a situation where he lacked the use of powerful generals.


    In fact, there are many powerful generals in the Northern Army, but Li Cunxiao, Qin Niu and Yu Yuan all went to chase Lan Yu''s defeated army. Wu Wenhua was sent to suppress the Dongjun Uprising Army, and Yu Hua was left in Puyang to recuperate due to injuries.


    All the fierce generals have their own things to do, so that in the huge Northern Army, only Fu Youde, the surrendered general, and Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong, can be used.


    Fu Youde had just surrendered for a while and he would definitely not be able to take over military power so quickly. Huang Feihu needed to stare at Yin Shou. If Yin Shou did not leave Yan County, he would not be able to leave Yanjin, so only Deng Jiugong, a **** of war, could only use it.


    This is also the main reason why Bai Qi transferred Deng Jiugong from the White Horse to the front line.


    But Bai Qi never expected Cao Cao to be so shameless, and even gathered Chen Liu''s cavalry and powerful generals. This clearly showed that if he could not seize Dingtao, he would give up Chen Liu''s 100,000 troops and lead the cavalry and generals to run away.


    Bai Qi was suddenly beaten by this move, and now he immediately sent a message to Li Cunxiao and asked Li Cunxiao to rush to Dingtao to support him. This time it was definitely too late.


    "If I had known that Cao Cao would mobilize the cavalry in Yan County, I should have transferred Huang Feihu together. Unfortunately, it would be too late to issue a transfer order to General Huang Feihu now."


    Bai Qi couldn''t help but feel regretful, and was also surprised by the Cao Wei army''s commander Fan Li. After all, it undoubtedly requires great courage to do this, but the effect is also very obvious. It is to play to the strengths and avoid weaknesses, and temporarily eliminate the advantage of the Qin army''s many powerful generals.


    "General Deng Jiugong may not be able to defend Dingtao. If he forcibly defends the city, he will suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, this governor will send orders to General Deng Jiugong to give up Dingtao if necessary, and focus on preserving his strength. However, we still need to accelerate our march here to recapture Dingtao."


    Hearing Bai Qi''s words, Ju Yi and Wei Rui and others present were shocked. After all, Dingtao is so important. It was finally defeated, but now he voluntarily gave up? How can this be done?


    "But General Deng Jiugong also said in Feige''s letter that he would imitate Li Ling''s behavior in the Battle of Rising and not give Yin Shou and Dan Tai Yu the chance to climb the city tower. I think there should be no big problem to hold on for a day, so why should we abandon the city voluntarily?" Ju Yi asked in confusion.


    Bai Qi asked helplessly: "Do you really think Li Ling can defend Guangping, but it''s really that simple that Sun Lingming won''t climb the city tower?" Ju Yi, Han Meng, Zhu Ling, Xiao Yan, Wei Rui and other generals all showed confusion when they heard this. Although most of them were surrendered generals from Hebei, they really didn''t know much about the inside story of Guangping.


    Bai Qi explained when he saw this: "In the Battle of Jianping, the reason why Li Ling was able to block the fierce attack of Sun Lingming''s five thousand troops with three thousand defenders was the result of both the right time, place, and people.


    At that time, our army won consecutive victories and morale was in full swing. Sun Lingming was eager for quick success and instant benefits, so he did not take Li Ling seriously at all, so he went deeper alone.


    Li Ling took advantage of Sun Lingming''s contempt for him and first set up a large number of traps during Sun Lingming''s march to defeat his aura. Later, he delayed the time by deceiving surrender, and then deliberately exposed it to anger Sun Lingming.


    Sun Lingming originally thought Li Ling would surrender, but he was deceived by him and waited for three days. Therefore, he was completely angry, so he forced himself to attack the city.


    Little did he know that what Li Ling wanted was Sun Lingming doing. This not only gave Li Ling the opportunity to target him, but also as long as Sun Lingming could not climb the city tower, the morale of our army would also be greatly reduced.


    Now you understand. Li Ling can keep calm, that is the result of using several plans and making intentional calculations without intention. ”


    After hearing what Bai Qi said, the generals present suddenly realized that in their opinion, the Battle of Jianping was just a small battle, but they did not expect that there were so many twists and turns in it. No wonder Sun Lingming could not conquer Jianping.


    "The situation in Dingtao is different from the previous one. Although Deng Jiugong''s ability to command military forces is not inferior to Li Ling, and his own strength is far superior to Li Ling, Cao Cao will not be as wise as Sun Lingming, and will never be as stubborn as Sun Lingming."


    Although Sun Lingming has resigned and traveled west, he still has a very high prestige among the Qin army. He dares to use words like "Wuzhi and a stubborn" to describe him. Except for Bai Qi, few people in the Qin Dynasty dare to say this.


    "Deng Jiugong wanted to use Li Ling''s method to deal with Sun Lingming to deal with Cao Cao, which would definitely not work. Since he was destined to be unable to defend Dingtao, it would be better to give up defending the city as soon as possible and destroy the city defense while abandoning the city to reduce the difficulty of our army recapturing Dingtao again."


    After saying that, Bai Qi immediately wrote two letters in his code, and then passed them to Deng Jiugong through Feige. Unfortunately, both letters were robbed by Yin Shou, so Deng Jiugong did not receive them.


    In other words, Yin Shou did not know the meaning of the code, so he did not know the content of Bai Qi''s letter, otherwise it would be even more impossible for Deng Jiugong to defend Dingtao.


    At the same time, the remnants of Xuchang City were broken into pieces and had been completely wiped out by the Qin army. Ying Hao decided to enter the city in person and meet with the major families in Yingchuan.


    After receiving the news that Ying Hao decided to enter the city, the Yingchuan family led by Xun, Chen, Zhonghan all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this meant that Ying Hao let it go and decided to accept them, so naturally he had to perform well and try to leave a good impression on Ying Hao.


    The Yingchuan family was dispatched collectively, intending to hold a grand welcoming ceremony and mobilize half of the people in the city to welcome Ying Hao into the city.


    The Cao army, which was killed and injured in the offensive and defensive battle in Xuchang, had many locals in Xuchang. However, compared with what Cao Bin promoted, the Qin army would massacre the city after breaking the city. After seeing the Qin army, the people of Xuchang naturally realized that they had been deceived, and they naturally hated Cao Bin who deceived them.


    Coupled with the vigorous publicity of the Yingchuan family, the resistance to the Qin army naturally dissipated, and they obeyed the guidance of the big clan and participated in this welcome ceremony.


    Under the protection of tens of thousands of troops, Kong Xuan and others, Ying Hao and Guo Jia slowly entered the city side by side.


    But when we saw the streets full of people who were welcoming and the cheers like tsunamis, Ying Hao and Guo Jia couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. After all, this didn''t look like they had just experienced war.


    After all, many families of the people died in the battle with Qin and Wei, so although the people of Xuchang were shouting, their sadness could not be hidden on their faces.


    Ying Hao''s face gradually became gloomy. He hated this formal pomp, but the Yingchuan family was also trying to please him, so he was not easy to have an attack.


    Ying Hao smiled throughout the whole process, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and after the welcoming ceremony, he met with the four major families of Yingchuan and thirteen major families in the Wei Palace.


    As for those small families, there is actually no need to meet, and they are not qualified to meet Ying Hao. However, in order to prevent the Yingchuan family from being at ease, Ying Hao decided to meet again. After all, it is no different for him to meet the four families and meet the seventeen families.


    Ying Haokuanyan comforted the heads of the family to relieve the other party''s concerns. Then the banquet began, and dancers and singers from various major families also took turns to perform on stage.


    Ying Hao did not like to watch singing and dancing. In his eyes, the ancient songs and dances were far from as good as those of sword dancing. However, the noble families of this era liked him, he could only follow the customs and follow the trend.


    After the banquet, the Yingchuan family not only gave away all kinds of treasures, but also gave Ying Hao hundreds of beautiful maids to take care of and serve Ying Hao''s daily life in Xuchang.


    Ying Hao used the system to detect it, and ten of them had charm values ??of more than 90, and they were all young ladies from major families. Xun Kui, who had charm 97, was also Xun Yu''s niece.


    The Yingchuan family was helpless in order to please Ying Hao, and even let these ladies come to serve as maids for Ying Hao.


    Although Ying Hao was not ready to touch any of them, he still accepted them all. After all, only in this way can they feel at ease, but he was ready to reward the unmarried generals in the army as their wives afterwards.


    As for the ten young ladies in Yingchuan, they were naturally returned by Ying Hao. He neither wanted to marry the Yingchuan family nor had any intention of accepting women.


    "Fengxiao, why do I feel that dealing with these aristocratic families is more tiring than commanding the army to fight?" Ying Hao said helplessly.


    ?I’ll give a notice that because the author has been suspended for too long this time, the anti-theft function that Qidian has built is temporarily released and will not be restored until the end of January.


    Therefore, during the period when the anti-theft function is restored, the author will post anti-theft chapters to deal with it temporarily.
