Chapter 608 Yue Chang Went to Mei County

Chapter 6 and Nine: Yue Chang goes to Mei County
In the fourth year of Tiantong, on April [-]th, Deng Jun deliberately withdrew from Chencang City and lured Qin Jun into Chencang City. Finally, Deng Jun, who was ambushing in the city, lit the fire starter in the city. A big fire broke out in Chencang City. This important town in Guanzhong was on fire, and more than [-] Qin troops were engulfed in the flames. In the end, there were only a few hundred Qin troops who could follow the Qin army leader Geng Ming out of Chencang City.

In Guanzhong, on the banks of the Lishui River, Geng Ming fled here in disgrace with hundreds of defeated soldiers all the way in fear. This place is already far away from Chencang City. It is impossible for Deng Jun to catch up in a short time. After fleeing overnight, the physical strength of the soldiers of the Qin army was almost exhausted, so Geng Ming had no choice but to stop and rest, but he was worried that Deng Jun would be chasing him, so Geng Ming dispatched all the scouts out of the few generals.

"General, what should we do now? We won't be able to go back after passing the pass, and Mei County is surrounded by Deng's army, so we can't go there, and we only have a few hundred people left, so we can't compete with Deng's army at all." Ah!" Lieutenant General Geng Li said to Geng Ming after cleaning up his exhaustion in the river.

Geng Ming looked at the hundreds of people around him, all of them lost their fighting spirit and looked like they were reborn after a catastrophe. Seeing this scene, Geng Ming blamed himself infinitely. Chen Cang's defeat was due to his eagerness for quick success. It wasn't that he wanted to go to Mei County for support, and rashly entered Chencang City, Qin Jun would not have such a disastrous defeat, but at this time, no one can blame Geng Ming. It is true that Geng Ming is indeed a little impatient, but facing the empty Chen Cangcheng, and the crisis in Mei County, Geng Ming's actions are understandable. The blame is to blame Deng Jun for being too cunning and vicious. He actually burned Chencangcheng, together with fifteen thousand Qin troops.

"It is impossible to go to Mei County. With our current strength, we are afraid that we will be defeated by Deng Jun before reaching Mei County. Moreover, our army lost all the food and grass in Chen Cang. Now the soldiers have no food at all. How could it be possible to go to Qi County? Here is Sishui, after passing Sishui, Yong County is to the north, where my Great Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is located, and there are also some soldiers and horses, we will retreat to Yong County for the time being, and plan later." Geng Geng Ming thought about it and said.

There are many imperial mausoleums in the state of Qin. The royal family of the state of Qin originated from the pre-Qin period. In the past, the Great Qin Empire, which dominated the western frontier and finally unified the six countries, also experienced many times of relocation of the capital. Each capital city has left many imperial tombs. Xiliang’s Guzang, Yong County in Guanzhong, Liyang, and Xianyang all have the mausoleums of the former kings of Qin State, and the largest imperial mausoleum of Qin State is located in Lishan Mountain, where is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China.

After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the descendants of the Qin State left for Xiliang, and the imperial mausoleums in Guanzhong gradually fell into disrepair. After the Qin State returned to Guanzhong, the first thing to do was to renovate these ancestral tombs and station troops to guard them.

Hearing this, Geng Li nodded. As far as the current situation is concerned, going to Yong County is the best choice, so he said: "Since the general has decided to go to Yong County, we should set off earlier. Although it is a little far away from Chencang , but if Deng Jun wants to catch up, it won't take long, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here."

Geng Ming said: "Then rest for another hour. After an hour, cross the river and go north to Yong County. Chencang was completely devastated by the fire. Will Deng Jun catch up in a while, so we still have some time .”

An hour later, Geng Ming led hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals to cross the Lishui River and head north to Yong County.

At the same time, the fire in Chencang City was still raging. The fire was so powerful that Yue Lei and Chang Mao did not dare to send it out. After all, only they knew how many fire starters were hidden in Chencang City. , It is enough to make Chen Cangcheng burn for three days and three nights. Now is the time when the fire is at its fiercest. If we forcefully extinguish it, I am afraid that many casualties will be increased. If this is the case, then we should simply let it burn.

The fire in Chencang City caused the temperature nearby to rise rapidly. In order to avoid the high temperature, Deng Jun came to camp five miles away from Chencang City.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yue Lei and Chang Mao were discussing the next step.

Yue Lei said: "This battle has won a complete victory, and our army's losses are almost negligible. We have completed the military order given by the general, but next, should we wipe out the escaped Qin army first or go directly to the army?" How about going to Mei County?"

Li Siye's military order is to let them defeat the Qin army as soon as possible, and rush to Mei County to join forces before the main force goes east to Chang'an. Yue Lei and Chang Mao took advantage of a big fire to complete the task perfectly, and it didn't take much time. I believe At this time, Li Siye was still attacking Mei County, and they had time to wipe out the stragglers of the Qin army who escaped before going to Mei County.

"Then what do you mean?" Chang Mao asked back.

Yue Lei thought for a while and said: "The Qin army was unprepared for this fire, most of them perished in Chencang City, and there was no trace of most of the Qin army in a radius of tens of miles, so even if some The Qin army escaped, presumably in the minority, and could not pose any threat to our army at all, so I mean, regardless of these remnants of the Qin army, go directly to Mei County. If there is time, Po Mei County may also have you It's my share of credit."

"I have always supported your opinion, but..." Chang Mao said hesitantly: "This time, we burned Chen Cang, and burned Chen Cang City and more than 1 Qin troops to nothing. The general knows. I don’t know if he will blame us. You must know that when my father attacked Hunan, he slaughtered thousands of Hunan prisoners. Walk around."

"Hehe!" Yue Lei laughed when he heard the words, and said, "So you are worried about this."

"Isn't that right? After all, more than 1 Qin soldiers were burned to death. For decades, no one has ever done this. I'm still terrified." Chang Mao said with a pouted mouth.

"Don't worry!" Yue Lei waved his hand and said, "Whether General Chang Yuchun slaughtered the prisoners of the Hunan Army or we burned the Qin Army today, it was all for the sake of Deng Deng, not for his own selfishness. Tianhe, but it avoided too many casualties in our army, not to mention the general, even if His Majesty knew about it, he would not blame us. Besides, General Chang Yuchun massacred thousands of unarmed prisoners back then. Take it lightly, not to mention that we burned more than 1 well-equipped Qin soldiers to death? Just put your heart in your stomach, and nothing will happen."

Deng Sheng really cherishes the lives of soldiers. If that person leads troops with too much loss, even if he wins, he will probably be punished, but that is only limited to Deng Jun himself. Deng Sheng has nothing to do with the enemy. With the slightest bit of mercy, as long as he can win, Deng Sheng doesn't care how many people he kills. Of course, if the nature is too bad, Deng Sheng will not ignore it. Obviously, Yue Lei and Chang Mao's behavior this time, It's not bad enough, even if someone criticizes it, it's just those old scholars in the court, and it doesn't hurt at all.

"That's what you said. I trust you very much. Don't lie to me." Chang Mao nodded and said, he is very sensitive about these matters. After all, his father Chang Yuchun was killed because of murder Regarding the captives, even today some people say that Chang Yuchun was cruel.

"Don't worry, trust me, it's fine, since that's the case, then we'll go to Mei County after a day off!" Yue Lei nodded and said.

The next day, Yue Lei and Chang Yuchun led the army to leave Chen Cang and head for Mei County.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on April 2th, Yue Lei and Chang Mao led 1 elites to Mei County. At this time, Mei County was still under the control of the Qin Army. On the contrary, there were nearly 5000 casualties, but it was not without progress. Although the resistance of the Qin Army was very tenacious, and the casualties of the Deng Army were also heavy, the strength of the Qin Army was also declining rapidly. With so many Qin troops, there are probably less than 5000 people who can stand up and fight now, and it is still a question of how much combat power these [-] people can have, let alone Deng Jun now has another [-] fresh troops.

Deng Jun's generals were also very surprised by the arrival of Yue Lei and Chang Mao. How long has it been since the military order was issued, and until Yue Lei and Chang Mao led the army to arrive, it took only ten days. , Everyone in Deng Jun has no doubts that Yue Lei and Chang Mao can defeat Qin Jun, but this is too fast.

"Yue Lei, Chang Mao, have you already defeated the Qin army outside Chencang?" Li Siye asked Yue Lei and Yue Lei suspiciously in the tent of the Chinese army.

Yue Lei nodded and said: "Back to the general, we have successfully defeated the Qin army and wiped out the main force of the Qin army. The main general Geng Ming fled to Yong County with only a few hundred people."

"So fast? Then how did you fight?" Wudangwei General Deng Zhong asked quickly. You must know that Qin Jun has more than 1 people, and the strength gap between Deng Jun and Yue Lei is not that big. How long did it take Chang Mao two talents?Excluding the time it took for Chen Cang to come to Mei County, it took Yue Lei and Chang Mao less than five days at most, maybe not even three days, which is too fast.

Yue Lei and Chang Mao then told the whole process of defeating Qin Jun. Everyone gasped when they heard the words, they were all shocked by Yue Lei and Chang Mao's ruthless methods, and set fire to Qin Jun , this is a short life.

"Yue Lei, Chang Mao, are you trying to avoid being ruthless?" Su Yun, the military master of Wudang Guards, couldn't help but said. Although Su Yun has been in the army for many years, Su Yun is still a literati in essence, and he is ruthless towards Yue Lei and Chang Mao. Spicy means, still can not agree.

"Military Master, you are wrong to say that!" Chang Mao retorted: "You must know that the strength gap between us and the Qin Army is not that big, and the Qin Army's leader Geng Ming is also quite a general. If you want to defeat the Qin Army, Our army must have suffered a lot of casualties. Now after a big fire, we not only defeated the Qin army, but also preserved our strength. The casualties of our army are almost negligible. I didn't say sorry to you."

"This..." Su Yun had no idea that Chang Mao, who was always not good at words, dared to refute.

"Okay!" Li Siye said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. I wouldn't like to comment on your crap, but when I return to Wancheng in the future, there will naturally be people who will argue with you. Let's talk about it now." Let’s talk about how to break through this county.”

Li Siye stopped the argument between Chang Mao and Su Yun, and brought the topic of discussion back to attacking Mei County.

"General, we have stormed for ten days. Although we have not been able to break through Mei County, the Qin army is obviously at the end of its strength. If there are no two generals, Yue Lei and Chang Mao, we may still need some time. Today, the soldiers are also very tired, and now the two generals Yue Lei and Chang Mao have arrived with [-] fresh troops, they can be the main force, I believe that within three days, Mei County will be destroyed!" Li Jing thought for a while and said.

Deng Jun fought hard for ten days. Although most of Qin Jun's strength was consumed, he was also very tired. Without the arrival of Yue Lei, Deng Jun would have to rest for a few days if he wanted to continue the strong attack, but now Yue Lei and What Chang Mao brought was a new force, and there was not much consumption in the battle of Chencang, so it would be best for them to be the main force to attack Mei County.

Li Siye thought for a while and said to Yue Lei and Chang Mao: "Since General Li said so, Yue Lei and Chang Mao, do you dare to be the main force to attack Mei County?"

Yue Lei and Chang Mao were overjoyed when they heard the news. They came here in such a hurry because they wanted to get a share of the battle in Mei County. Now they didn't expect that they could be the main force, so why would they not want to? ?
Yue Lei and Chang Mao nodded, and said: "The general is willing! Please rest assured, the general, we will definitely do our best to take down Mei County!"

"Okay, since that's the case, the two of you will lead the headquarters to launch a strong attack on Mei County tomorrow, break through Mei County as quickly as possible, and capture Geng Yue alive!" Li Siye nodded and said.

"Here!" Everyone responded.
