Chapter 1018: Jiang Ling to Yelu Guangde
Chapter 1018 Jiang Ling vs Yelu Guangde
After used the smoke to quell the Khitan army outside the city, the next step was to discuss how to retreat from the enemy.
Yuan Weidong's eyes fell on Ren Lingsheng, and he found that he was looking down and wondering what he was thinking. Yuan Weidong coughed and asked, "Does my nephew have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"
Jiang Xijing and the border city defender also looked at Ren Lingsheng, waiting for him to speak.
Ren Lingsheng not only has high kung fu, ruthlessness, and a lot of heart, but more importantly, his extraordinary identity. Jiang Qin, who was protecting the calf, escorted Ren Lingsheng, and Qiu Jing, the military advisor of Zuo Wuwei, took Ren Lingsheng as the main leader. Therefore, even though he is only fifteen years old, Ren Lingsheng is already the backbone of everyone in the border town.
Jiang Ling raised his dark eyes and said, "General, the last general wants to attack instead of defend."
Replacing defense with offense? When the generals were stunned, Jiang Xijing had already stood up to support his cousin, "General Yuan, the last general is willing to be the forward!"
Yuan Weidong, who was thick and thin, did not respond immediately. He motioned for Jiang Xijing to sit down and said, "Ling Sheng, explain your plan in detail."
"Yes." Jiang Ling said, "The Khitan army outside the city is well-equipped and aggressive. They think we will retreat into the city, so this evening is the best time for us to steal the camp. We can divide our troops into three ways..."
"report—"
The roast mutton was just put on the table, when the horses entered the tent, knelt down and saluted, "Report to the general, the number of guards on the wall of the border city has doubled, and some people continue to transport rolling stones and bows and arrows to the city wall."
Yelugeri was overjoyed, "General, the Zhou army is planning to defend the city. They must know that you are the general who came to attack the city, so they are afraid."
Yelu Guangde grabbed the leg of lamb and took a bite, snorting, "Biancheng defender Yuan Weidong is this commander's defeated general, unless the reinforcements are Huang Li. But Huang Li has just arrived in Suzhou, and he is still out of breath. , who dares to fight with this commander's army?"
"What the general said is very true!"
"Generals are invincible!"
Yelü Guangde picked up the strong wine and boosted his morale, "Rest early tonight, tomorrow morning, let's attack the border city in one go, take Fulu directly, and go to two cities in a row! Let Zhou Jun know how good we are!"
"Yes—" The generals raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
At this moment, Jiang Ling had taken off his shirt and fell asleep on the couch.
Ren's ancestral home is a border town. As early as four years ago, Jiang Ling had sent someone back to clean up the Ren family's burnt down old house and built a new house. This mansion is half smaller than the original one, but even so, the inner mansion is still empty and unpopular. This is the case in Renfu in the capital, and this is also the case here. Jiang Ling has long been used to this kind of desertedness, and even the corners of his mouth twitched up in his sleep, wondering what he was dreaming about.
In the outer courtyard, Jiang Xijing and Li Yanguang and others were surrounding the map, discussing the specific arrangements for leaving the city in the evening to steal the camp. There were four thousand defenders in the border city, three thousand went out of the city to meet the enemy, and one thousand defended the city. If this time to steal the camp fails, the border city will fall. Therefore, this battle is not allowed to be defeated.
The stealing camp was divided into three routes: left, middle, and right. The 1,000-strong vanguard army in the middle, led by Jiang Ling, went straight out of the north gate to the Khitan camp. Whether the main force of the enemy could be contained was the key to this battle. Although they have fought against the Khitan army in the past two years, they are all small fights with dozens or hundreds of people. Now facing thousands of elite soldiers, everyone is excited and uneasy.
Jiang Xijing patted his right palm on the position where the Khitan army was camping, and said with great vigour, "All generals obey orders!"
The generals stood up straight and looked at Jiang Xijing.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. I waited for more than 500 days in the border town, and I trained soldiers and horses every day, and the wind and snow didn't stop me. All of us, a thousand people, are now heroes with one as ten. After this battle, we will shake the two north and make the The Khitan, the Huns, and the Turks are invincible! You all return to the camp, Shenzheng assembles your troops, and you go out of the city to meet the enemy! Those who retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy! After retreating, the reward will be doubled according to the merit!"
"Yes!"
After the generals retired, Jiang Xijing left Li Yanguang behind and warned, "Today's battle, your squad of 30 will protect Ling Sheng together with Jiang Cai's squad."
Without Jiang Xijing's words, Li Yanguang knew how important his mission was. He clasped his fists and said vigorously, "General, don't worry, Li Yanguang guarantees his life, the last general is here, and the general is here; the last general is dead, the general is here!"
Li Yanguang walked out of the room and went back to his own courtyard, where he saw his son Li Qing was wearing armor and armor, standing in the courtyard with a spear. Fourteen-year-old Li Qing didn't wait for his father to speak, so he couldn't refuse, "Father, my son is still fighting with you."
Li Yanguang frowned, "Don't be ridiculous, this is going to work hard, how old are you..."
Fourteen-year-old Li Qing had a chilling expression on his face, "General Ren is only one year older than the child. If he can go to the battlefield, the child can go. Dad's life was saved by the second master, and the life-saving grace is beyond heaven. If you want to follow General Ren to fight, even if the boy can't kill the enemy, he can also block arrows for General Ren!"
Li Yanguang stared at his son, not knowing what to say.
Shen Zheng, Jiang Ling, who had slept for two hours, got up and dressed. When he was about to put on the armor, he turned around and went back to the bed. He took out the peach wood amulet that Jiang left for him from under the pillow, and hung it around his neck before putting it on. Armor, guns and arrows to go out. When he walked to the front yard, he saw Li Qing who was a little shorter than others.
Jiang Ling stopped and asked, "Are you going too?"
"Yes!" Li Qing answered firmly.
Jiang Ling said no more, patted him on the shoulder and glanced at the crowd before he got on his horse and led the team to set off.
When he arrived at the North City Gate, Jiang Ling's heart was filled with enthusiasm when he saw the soldiers and horses standing in the dark. He raised his hand and raised his spear, roaring, "Do you have the courage to follow Ren Lingsheng out of the city to kill the enemy and revive my Ren family's military glory?"
"Yes, yes! Yes!" The roar was so loud that everyone's blood was boiling. These 1,000 people are the elites of the Border City Forbidden Army, and they are the direct descendants of the Ren Family Army. Jiang Ling ignited the pile of dry wood with a single sentence, and the fire was raging. Although the title of Ren Jiajun has been silent for 16 years, the spirit of the army is still there.
The battle drums rang, the city gate opened, and Jiang Ling took the lead, rushing towards the Khitan camp.
The Khitan army, who was preparing to eat, heard the battle drums and shouts of killing in the border city, and immediately the whole team met the enemy.
As soon as the clouds in the western sky were covered with red marks, Jiang Ling led his troops to kill outside the Khitan camp, within the range of the bow and arrow. The bows and arrows flew like rain, Jiang Ling gave an order, and the Ren family army put up a shield array. After blocking the first wave of bows and arrows, the bows and arrows of the Ren family army shot the rockets at the enemy. The rocket landed in the camp, and the light of the fire made the sunset glow red.
At the same time as the bows and arrows of the two sides were fighting, the shield formation of the Ren Jiajun moved forward. After walking for a few feet, Jiang Ling shouted, "Go!"
The shield formation was divided into two sides. Jiang Ling took the lead, facing the rain of arrows and rushing towards the enemy's camp.
Yelu Guangde laughed out loud when he saw the rushing general and the flag of Ren, "Who should have the courage to be this commander, it turned out to be Ren Lingsheng, a young boy from the Ren family! When the archer has stepped down, this commander will send him and him in person. Grandpa is reunited!!"
