Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together
Chapter 30 Concubine v War King 12
By the time Si Ke returned to Youmen Pass, Rong Xuan had already set out with an army of 200,000.
But this time Si Ke did not follow, but stayed at Pylosperm Pass. You know, this is the key to the whole battle.
The one guarding here now is Rong Xuan's deputy general, named Luo Yong, a man in his thirties.
This man is both brave and resourceful, and he had previously made many military achievements with Rong Xuan.
Si Ke had come here for no other reason than to ask Rong Xuan for a thousand elite soldiers before she and the Si family evacuated. Now, Si Ke led these thousand elite soldiers into the mountains every day.
Although Luo Yong was surprised at what she was going to do, he didn't ask any more questions. Before leaving, Rong Xuan had told him not to underestimate Si Ke, as she was not an ordinary woman.
You have to know that the veterans who followed Rong Xuan all knew his temper. He rarely praised others. And this kind of praise was definitely not a romantic relationship, but a true appreciation of a person.
As for Sike, he had divided the thousand men into ten teams of a hundred men each, and was teaching them a game of cat and mouse in the mountains. Commonly known as guerrilla warfare!
The thousand men were initially somewhat discouraged, unsure why Si Ke had singled them out. And with so few men, what could they possibly do? But as time went on, their passion grew. Hey, could a war be fought this way? Hey, could the enemy be played this way?
It wasn't just them playing the cat and mouse game, Rong Xuan was playing it too.
This is Xuzhou City, the first city that intersects with the northwest.
Rong Xuan immediately ordered an assault on the city upon his arrival. The Xuzhou defenders were terrified and quickly summoned the soldiers to defend the city. Rong Xuan's title of War King was distinct from the titles bestowed upon the princes of the capital; it was something he had earned through hard work.
However, less than an hour later, when Xuzhou City was about to be breached, Rong Xuan called back his troops at this moment.
The general defending Xuzhou City was confused. What did this mean?
Before he could think about it carefully, this scene happened almost every day for the next half month.
Rong Xuan just wanted to attack the city for fun. Even if the gates of Xuzhou City were broken, he would not enter the city, but just stay there to guard it.
The generals defending Xuzhou City gradually became numb. No one fights like this. Are you really here to attack the city?
However, within a few days, 250,000 reinforcements arrived from the capital. Compared to the ragtag rebel army, Rong Xuan was Rong Heng's biggest concern.
With the reinforcements, the defenders of Xuzhou City felt that they could finally hold their heads high and get rid of the humiliation they had suffered these days.
However, when they opened the city gates and prepared to massacre the Northwestern Army, Rong Xuan's army was too lazy to fight and retreated.
Suddenly, the reinforcements sent from the imperial capital were filled with enthusiasm, thinking that Rong Xuan had been scared away by them. The legendary War King that was rumored outside was nothing more than that.
Of course, not everyone thought so. Rong Xuan wasn't just a name for nothing. If he'd just run away after being frightened, he wouldn't have been able to hold onto the northwest for so many years. It was just hard to figure out what he was up to.
However, Rong Xuan would not give them time to figure it out, and soon he returned with a large army.
However, as soon as they started fighting, Rong Xuan ran away again.
It goes on like this over and over again, repeating and pulling.
The reinforcements didn't dare to go back because Rong Xuan was watching them from outside the city. But they couldn't hit anyone, and before they could even touch the edge of the enemy's clothes, the enemy army retreated.
Finally, the reinforcements could no longer sit still. Most of those who joined the army had hot tempers. Who could endure being teased like this every day?
So, they launched an all-out attack. This time, Rong Xuan still didn't fight, but retreated directly. When he was three cities away from Youmen Pass, Rong Xuan finally stopped.
"Rong Xuan, why don't you keep retreating? If you have the guts, retreat to the territory of Xirong! You are the Prince of Daxing, and I am bringing shame to Daxing..."
Seeing him standing on the city wall, the reinforcements who had been going crazy for a long time began to curse.
After just one encounter, Rong Xuan disappeared again. Not only him, but also the soldiers on the city wall began to evacuate.
This time, after they entered the city and planned to give chase again, they were directly confronted by the 350,000-strong army of the Western Rong Kingdom.
Yes, just two days ago, the Xirong army began to attack Youmen Pass.
As for Luo Yong, he just pretended to delay for a while, and then gave up the Pyloric Pass while fighting and retreating, opening the most important line of defense in Daxing.
One hundred thousand versus three hundred and fifty thousand, let alone them, even Rong Xuan himself couldn't win. With such a huge disparity in numbers, there was no chance of winning.
This was precisely why Rong Xuan had been delaying the attack. He had too few troops, and the men left at Youmen Pass couldn't hold it. If he attacked cities like Daxing at this time, the Xirong troops behind him would be able to attack him from both sides once they arrived.
Rather than being passive, it is better to lure the two armies into a meeting, so as to have the greatest chance of winning.
Over the years, Rong Xuan had guarded Youmen Pass and killed countless Xirong people. These Xirong people had long hated Rong Xuan. Now they received news that Rong Xuan had broken with the emperor and the two sides were fighting. How could the Xirong people let go of such a good opportunity?
As for the thousand men trained by Si Ke, they would occasionally launch surprise attacks on the Xirong army. Their effects were minor, but the chaos they caused was considerable. The key to attacking one person was their mentality.
Of course, the main reason is that the Western Rong army has too many people. If they encounter a small-scale battle later, that will be their real chance to show their skills.
Just like that, a carefully planned war began.
Rong Xuan, with many soldiers behind him, stood on a high ground and watched the two sides fight coldly. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.
The Western Rong people were good at fighting and fierce, and the reinforcements from the imperial capital were no match for them.
The battle lasted three days and three nights, and the reinforcements were almost completely wiped out. On the Xirong side, there were only about 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers left.
Without giving them any chance to breathe, Rong Xuan gave an order and began to attack the remaining Xirong people.
Even in their heyday, they had never defeated Rong Xuan, let alone now, when their men and horses were exhausted and suffering heavy losses. But what could they do? If they didn't fight, they would die. If they fought, they might die later.
Rather than calling it a war, it was more like a one-sided massacre by the Northwest Army. They'd been frustrated for days, playing catch-up with the reinforcements like dogs, getting scolded and frustrated. Now, they could finally have a good fight. If you dared to set foot on their Daxing territory, there was no need to go back.
In the original plot, Rong Xuan was defeated because Rong Heng had spies planted in the Northwest Army. They had already exposed Rong Xuan's plan and reduced his forces by half, leading to his crushing defeat.
But this time, everything is different.
