I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 486

On the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, torches were lit outside Qi County, and General Bai stood on the city wall watching the soldiers and horses of the Ming family camping not far away.

General Liu felt that the opportunity must not be missed, "The soldiers of the Ming family are only about 2. We have more than [-] soldiers and horses. I think we can try the soldiers of the Ming family."

Compared with the soldiers and horses of the Ming family who had just arrived, they had already rested for more than an hour, so this was a good time.

General Bai shook his head, "No."

"General Bai is afraid that Jingzhou's troops will attack us and cut off our retreat?"

General Bai nodded, "We fought all the way. Although we left some soldiers guarding each county, it wasn't enough to defend against a large number of soldiers. You must know that Texas borders other states on all sides. We can't fight to the death with Ming soldiers. "

He was afraid that his side was fighting hard, and after the news got out, once Jingzhou's soldiers and horses entered Dezhou and sent a surprise attack force to cut off his back, he would be dumped.

Now that he has occupied Qi County, he only needs to accept the temptation of the Ming family, and at the same time let the soldiers and horses get enough rest.

General Liu sighed regretfully. It is true that Ruizhou still can’t eat the troops of the Ming family. Thinking of the captured Dezhou soldiers, General Liu smiled again, “Then I’ll go to rest first.”

General Bai nodded, "Okay, I'll be on guard in the first half of the night."

"Ah."

Inside the Ming family's camp, Ming Jiao's expression was not good, "We did not go fast, but we still underestimated the speed of Ruizhou soldiers and horses, and even took Qi County first."

There are a total of nine counties in Dezhou. Although there are more counties than Ruizhou, the population and land of the counties are not as large as Ruizhou County. His original plan was to take down Qi County.

Ming Yi, "Major General, it seems that luck is not on our side."

Defending and defending are different, especially when the opponent has cannons, they can still kill the Ruizhou soldiers who are attacking the city. The two sides are too unfriendly to them in exchange. If the opponent has enough shells, they only have white To die.

Ming Jiao's eyes darkened, "General Bai has rich experience in leading troops in battle, I'm still a little short."

All his accomplishments over the years are to wipe out bandits, but General Bai has a wealth of combat experience. His father is right, he owes it to him.

Mingyi, "General Bai is getting old, but the young general is in his prime, and one day he will surpass General Bai."

Ming Jiao also has this confidence, "You can rest at ease tonight, you all go to bed earlier."

Mingyi and the others got up and retreated, just as the Ming family wanted to test, Ruizhou was also unwilling to fight with the Ming family to take advantage of other states.

Fucheng of Dezhou was guarded by Deputy General Wang, but Yang Xixuan left, taking away with him the soldiers who arrived in Fucheng today, 4000 young soldiers, all around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Yang Xixuan really has no choice, if he has enough soldiers and horses, he will never let the young soldiers fight. These young men are the elite troops he cultivated, and they will become the sharpest weapons in his hands in the future.

Young soldiers must not be allowed to enter the battlefield ahead of time.

Taking down the county town is easy to guard and take a lot of trouble. He has to send troops to guard the county town. He keeps some soldiers and horses in each county. In addition to the soldiers guarding the border in Ruizhou, he has a total of more than 7 soldiers and horses.

In fact, he can continue to expand his troops, but Ruizhou can't afford it.

Yang Xixuan didn't rest at night. The purpose of his trip was to collect soldiers and horses from Texas on the border.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming soldiers suddenly attacked the city. Ruizhou was also unambiguous. General Bai directly loaded the cannonballs. They did not have many cannons, but they had enough shells.

The soldiers and horses of the Ming family were overturned, and they retreated quickly at first glance. This test proved that Ruizhou still had shells, and the cannons in Ruizhou did not explode.

Ming Jiao was very uncomfortable, his face was gloomy and uncertain, "It is indeed the most powerful cannon for foreigners. Its range and power are not comparable to those of old-fashioned cannons."

Mingyi asked in a deep voice, "Are you still testing?"

Ming Jiao's eyes flickered, "It's such a rare opportunity to fight Da Pao, so be smarter this time."

"Yes."

There were constant explosions outside the city of Qi County all day long, and the people in Qi County shrank in their houses in panic.

The soldiers and horses of the Ming family did not lose much, and there would be casualties in the morning. After finding out in the afternoon, the two sides fell into a confrontation.

Ruizhou artillery bombarded, even if there were only two doors, it was enough. Ruizhou soldiers stared at the Ming soldiers and horses speechlessly, and the biggest harm to them this day was that their ears felt uncomfortable.

General Liu twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's time for this farce to end."

General Bai narrowed his eyes, "Ming Jiao is very smart, he uses us to train soldiers."

The two sides didn't want to fight on a large scale. Ming Jiao took advantage of this, and he admired Ming Jiao a little.

Now that Ming Jiao has figured out the range and power range of the cannon, he has transformed several formations in the afternoon.

General Liu laughed, "General Bai is thinking about the formation of the Ming family."

General Bai laughed, "Everyone takes what they need."

He went back in a while and drew the formation he saw, and then handed it over to the Military Academy.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the Ming family sent a peace talk letter, and it was Ming Yi who delivered the letter, who rode into Qi County alone.

General Bai learned from the caution of the two gentlemen, and sent someone to check carefully before letting Mingyi come to him. After reading the peace talks letter, "Young General Ming wants to see my lord?"

Mingyi, "Yes."

"Dreaming." General Liu patted the table. He and Vice General Wang are two extreme personalities. Vice General Wang is too calm, but he has a bad temper.

Ming Yi was not intimidated, "We have more than 1 Texas soldiers."

General Liu stared, his temper was violent but not stupid, he sneered, "If you have the ability, you will all be killed."

Mingyi didn't panic, "Don't Ruizhou want more than 1 soldiers?"

They never thought of bringing more than 1 captives back to Jiaozhou. These soldiers were all composed of ordinary people. Their parents, wives and children were all in Dezhou, and their hearts were not in Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou didn't want to waste food and didn't want to send troops to guard the prisoners.

General Liu still said the same thing, "If you have the ability, kill them all."

Mingyi's face froze, did killing all of them arouse the anger of the people in Dezhou, so as to help Ruizhou smoothly capture the prisoners for his own use?
General Bai is in a good mood. He just needs to hold back the Ming family and wait for the lord to collect the soldiers and horses in the direction of Jingzhou. At that time, the Ming family does not want to continue the war and can only withdraw from Dezhou obediently.

As for the captives, it would be better if the Ming family angered the people of Dezhou if they died, and it would be better if they were taken to Jiaozhou if they were not dead. Not urgent.

On the border in the direction of Jingzhou, Yang Xixuan successfully gathered more than 1 soldiers and horses from Texas. As soon as the heads of the Patriarch of the Ming family and others came out, the poison sprayer released poison. After hearing that all of Dezhou was under control, most of the more than 1 soldiers and horses Surrender obediently, and the rest will be honest under the torture of poison.

As for the soldiers and horses in the east of Dezhou, there is no need for Yang Xixuan to go there in person, the neighboring state to the east is the weakest, as long as the garrison general is smart enough, he will obediently send a letter to Fucheng to express his loyalty.

Yang Xixuan was sitting in the tent, he still didn't smile, the Jingzhou border has increased to more than 2 troops, but there is no shocking cannon on his side.

He wanted to find a way to keep Jingzhou's soldiers and horses from moving, his eyes lit up after thinking about it.
