Chapter 179 War
Chapter 179 War
On the other hand, Jing Rui returned to the military camp a few days ago, but he got bad news from Cao Qianhu.
Dongling Kingdom has gathered 100,000 troops, and now 30,000 vanguards have passed the level and set off a letter of war in front of the Beimo Post 30 miles away.
If Da Jingrui hadn't brought people to burn their food and grass, he would have issued a letter of war long ago, and because of burning their food and grass, he would have to postpone his original plan.
The commander had already sent eight hundred miles back to Beijing quickly, and also sent people to notify the general of Tongling City a hundred miles away. The northern border area was vast, but they were not the only team of men guarding the border.
There were two cities fifty miles away, each with defenses deployed, with more than 5,000 people stationed at each other. Commander Da also sent someone to send them messages.
In this way, even if the Dongling army comes, their 5,000 troops will be defeated, and the other two cities will send people to reinforce, which can at least resist for a while and delay the general who will delay a hundred miles away will lead troops to support.
At the commander's order, all the troops gathered lightly and headed to the outpost thirty miles away to camp and stand by.
The Dongling army wanted to attack Beimo in the beginning of spring and plunder Beimo's city, but unexpectedly, Daming was plotted against it. In addition to losing food and grass that night, it also hurt many people, causing unstable morale to the army.
This time, the Beimo Army, who vowed to fight, had no power to fight back and avenged great revenge.
The commander and his men arrived at the place and before the military tent was built, a military general from Dongling brought three thousand people to scold outside the camp.
He said that the Northern Strangers were despicable and sent someone to burn their granary. How could the soldiers here listen? They started to curse each other in a funny way, and they also said that the villain of Dongling was first.
The general was scolded and said something was almost revealed: "Bei Mogou, if you hadn't sent someone to burn our food and grass, you would have been the dead souls under our Dongling's knife. But even so, it would have been a day later, come out and die soon."
This man was indeed arrogant.
Everyone was scolded and the commander could not remain indifferent, so he sent three guards to fight.
At the beginning, they could still fight, but Dongling was ready to come. Beimo's army had just marched thirty miles and came over, and gradually there was a huge gap and was at a disadvantage.
The commander was a little anxious and was about to send another guard to support him, but an arrow came out of the post's watchtower and directly pierced the general's throat, killing the man on the spot.
Suddenly, Dong Lingjun was in chaos and retreated without even taking care of the young general's body.
Although Beimo won the victory, it was a victory in the first battle.
In the commander's tent, Jing Rui was highly praised by the commander, patted his shoulder and said, "I am so young and promising, good, good, good."
Perhaps it was because of Jing Rui's performance that everyone's morale was rising for a while.
The commander knew that it would take two days for the generals a hundred miles away to bring troops here, so they vowed to defend the thirty miles of territory that was exchanged for the blood of countless soldiers.
The next two days were really difficult to defend. Even those people trained by Jing Rui were injured to varying degrees. Dongling’s military used wheel battles.
They only had 5,000 people, and the number of casualties was too large. The number of troops in the cities on both sides had not arrived for a long time, while the generals from a hundred miles away were still on the way.
He could only collect the military district from the rear and was replenished with troops. For a moment, the military district was filled with crying and shouting.
