Chapter 1079 3-Line Battle

Chapter 1079: Third-Line Combat

The general who led the Qi army in Yizhou was Tong Ying, the former deputy general of the southern army.

Although the surname Tong is also a Han surname, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, most of the people with this surname who were able to serve as officials and soldiers in the court were not Han people, but real Zhu Li.

This surname is also one of Zhu Lizhen's common surnames.

Tong Jian, the prime minister who was killed by the new emperor, was the Tong family.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the current Emperor Zhaowu killed Tong Jian, he did not move the entire Tong family, but only dealt with Tong Jian's branch. The Tong family is still the Tong family.

It just doesn't have the prestige of Yongping Dynasty.

Tong Ying is not a pure Tong family.

His family was originally Han Chinese and served as a slave for the Tong family. Later, because the slave did a good job, he was given the surname Tong.

Because of a word from the Prime Minister Tong Jian, Tong Ying was assigned to be an official in the Southern Conquest Army. After a long time, she became the deputy general of the Southern Conquest Army.

Originally, he had a very high status in the Southern Conquest Army, second only to Zhou Shizhong, and even higher than the lieutenant general of the Lang family.

But now the times have changed, the Lang family gained power overnight, and the Tong family was hit hard because of Tong Jian's affairs, and he was also implicated. , Even Yanzhou couldn't get in, so he could only be driven to Yizhou, leading a Qi army of 2 people, and sticking to Yizhou.

Originally, Yanzhou was besieged, and he had been on the sidelines, and he didn't even intend to save Yanzhou at all.

After all, if the main force of Yanzhou can't even defend the city, most of his 2 people will be paid for nothing.

But overnight, Yanzhou was in a hurry, and several documents were issued in a row urging him to rush to rescue Yanzhou.

Although Tong Ying had 1 reluctances in her heart, she had to leave.

After all, General Tong, his wife, children, and children are all still in the north. If he is accused of disobedience and delaying the military aircraft, and now the government is in the hands of the new emperor's faction, he, a general surnamed Tong, may be doomed immediately.

All the way from Yizhou to the vicinity of Sishui County, Tong Ying rode on the horse, looked to the west from a distance, waved to a thousand households from the scout battalion, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"Where did the southern army go?"

The thousand households lowered their heads and cupped their fists and said, "General, our people followed them along the way. Now the Southern Dynasty army with the Xue flag is already approaching Yanzhou. It is estimated that it is only a few dozen miles away from Yanzhou." .”

Tong Ying asked thoughtfully, "Have you heard of it among them?"

"There was no stopping, except for the usual breaks."

General Tong looked up at Sishui County not far away. For some reason, a sense of crisis surged in his heart. He took several deep breaths to suppress the extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"How's the situation in Yanzhou?"

The thousand households hesitated for a moment, but still lowered their heads and cupped their fists and said, "General, according to the latest news, the south gate of Yanzhou city has been broken, and now the southerners have flooded into Yanzhou and are fighting fiercely with the Yanzhou defenders."

"So fast?!"

Tong Ying almost cried out. He sat on the horse and looked at Yanzhou silently.

At this moment, he was considering whether to go to Yanzhou or not.

If Yanzhou had already fallen, it would basically be meaningless for him to go now, it would only be to add food to the Nanchen army.

But thinking of the urging documents from Yanzhou, Tong Ying couldn't help frowning, and cursed bitterly.

"What kind of idiot is He Gui! Yanzhou is such a big city, and there are enough supplies. Even if 20 troops besiege the city, I can calmly defend the first half of the year!"

He Gui was originally an inconspicuous deputy general of the Zhengnan Army, but he was Zhou Shizhong's diehard. After General Zhou went to Yandu to seek wealth, He Gui temporarily took over the Zhengnan Army.

Now Yanzhou's chief general is this General He.

"How long has he been here!"

General Tong was very angry, and cursed: "Not only do you keep asking for help, but even the city is about to be lost!"

After scolding for a few words, she finally got a little angry, Tong Ying calmed down, let out a bad breath, and said: "The southerners are treacherous, and they intended to ambush us in Fei County, but I found out, and now they are going to Yanzhou , and maybe set up an ambush on the road."

He looked at Qianhu, the scout battalion under him, who was actually the intelligence chief of the Yizhou garrison, and said in a deep voice, "How long will it take you to take people to survey all the places around Sishui County?"

The thousand households hesitated for a moment, then lowered their heads and said: "General, in just one county, there may be many people hiding. If it is added to the suburbs of the city, it will be even more difficult to conduct a detailed investigation."

"how…"

"It will take three to five days."

General Tong glanced in the direction of Yandu to the north.

At this time, he already wanted to run away.

If Tong Jian, the prime minister of the main family, was still there, he would not even hesitate. He would just give up Yanzhou at this moment, and prepare to preserve his strength and go back to Yandu to file a complaint. Emboldened.After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Let's rest in place, the scout battalion will be dispatched to investigate in detail the vicinity of Sishui County, and see if there are any traces of southerners."

He thought for a while and continued, "I'll give you two days..."

Before Tong Ying could finish her sentence, there was a rush of hoofbeats coming from far away.

The horse galloped very fast, and soon came to the front. Immediately, the knight shouted loudly, his voice urgent.

"Yanzhou is urgent! Yanzhou is urgent!"

The man shouted: "General He orders!"

"Yizhou Army, support Yanzhou immediately!"

Hearing these words, General Tong Yingtong's complexion suddenly became ugly.

he knows.

My time in Surabaya is running out.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the knight who reported the message, and his eyes were fierce.

………………

Under the city of Yanzhou.

"one two Three!"

With a neat chant, the south gate of Yanzhou was slowly pushed open.

At this moment, the gate of Yanzhou City, which Shen Yi had been coveting for a long time, finally opened.

It's just that Yanzhou at this time is still in a situation where it wants to refuse and welcome. Although the city gate has been opened, it is not yet ready to welcome Master Shen and the Huai'an army.

The street fighting in the city continued.

Because there are so many Qi troops in the city, although the Huai'an army struggled to occupy the south gate and a small area in the south of the city, it was difficult to continue to advance inside.

For two days in a row, it only advanced a distance of tens of feet.

However, this distance can already allow some Huai'an troops to stay.

So far, although the Huai'an army has not won the entire Yanzhou, in fact, it has already "established a firm foothold" in Yanzhou City.

Unless the combat effectiveness of the Qi people suddenly increases, or reinforcements arrive, it is already impossible to drive the Huai'an army out of Yanzhou.

Master Shen has been going on for several days and hasn't had a good rest.

The main reason is that there are too many things to deal with, and too many things that require his attention.

There was a thick pile of documents in his tent of the Chinese army commander.

Master Shen sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, looked at the information just sent by the Di Baosi, and silently put it aside after reading it.

Su Ding stood at the bottom, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Shen, these people from Qi have learned to be treacherous. Once an explosive bomb is thrown, they will immediately lie on the ground and protect their heads with their hands."

Su Ding smiled wryly and said, "The lethality is no longer obvious."

"The front is advancing very slowly."

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows.

This is not unexpected.

After all, no one is a fool. After suffering a few losses, they will naturally know how to deal with it.

"Xue Wei, you have already fought against the people of Qi in Surabaya."

"Ling Su's place, it should be similar."

He looked up at Su Ding and said slowly.

"You don't have to rush for success here, stick to it until the other two sides finish fighting."

"There is no suspense about the battle in Yanzhou."
