Chapter 235: The veteran is out
After the rain, the sun came out again, and a rainbow hung on the horizon, which was particularly beautiful in the setting sun.
Because they were not at ease with the pass, Wu Youliang and Chen Qinglong went back to the pass first.
Fang Beijin was left by me in Fengqi Village to clean up the mess.
The so-called cleaning up of the mess was nothing more than taking 2,000 workers to guard the prisoners, sort out the captures, and dispose of the corpses.
Yes, there are too many corpses.
According to Wu Youliang, many of the Golden and Silver Horde people on the prairie have never seen a big river in their lives, so almost all of them are landlubbers.
In this flood, a large number of Protoss troops drowned to death, and most of the survivors were already frightened and demented, so they didn't need to take care of it at all.
Before leaving, I had a heart-to-heart talk with Fang Beijin alone.
"Thank you, General Xu, for taking in the guilty general. ”
After everyone went out, Fang Beijin knelt on the ground for a long time.
I smiled and helped him up and poured him another cup of tea.
"What are the general's plans for the future?"
I asked tentatively.
Fang Beijin smiled sadly and said, "Qingfeng City has already issued a sea fishing document to hunt me down, and returning to Qingfeng City is a dead end." After this time, he will go east and find a city-state in the Far East to die alone. ”
I smiled and said, "Li Jianxiong's design made a general, and this general Qiu doesn't want to revenge?"
Fang Beijin smiled and said, "Everyone is their own master, and I don't blame him." ”
I gave him a thumbs up and said, "The general is really open, so have you ever thought about taking charge of the army again?"
Fang Beijin was stunned for a moment, and asked with some suspicion: "What does General Xu mean by this?"
I smiled and said: "Tao Lao has assigned the land from Taoyuan Chaoyang Temple to the boundary monument of Wolong Mountain to my Chaoyang Temple, you know that my Chaoyang Temple is actually not under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng City......
After a pause, he watched Fang Beijin's face change again and again, from black to red to purple, and finally to the color of pork liver.
I laughed in my heart, most of the people in the Three Realms will not hide their temperament, this old man, most of them were moved by me, just like the twenty-eight teenager who entered the hook bar for the first time, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
"Chaoyang Temple wants to form a separate army?"
Finally, Fang Beijin opened his mouth, his whole body trembled more and more, the teacup in his hand shook, and he actually spilled half of the tea.
"This is an army, hahaha!"
I laughed and said with a smile: "We are not called Chaoyang Army, we are called Chaoyang Temple Urban and Rural Management Brigade, referred to as Chengguan." ”
Fang Beijin said excitedly: "No matter what his name is, it's the army anyway." ”
After saying this, he put the teacup on the table heavily, turned over and knelt on the ground again.
I reluctantly got up and helped him.
"Elder Fang, our Chaoyang Temple advocates a new life, and we don't want to kneel around. ”
Fang Beijin knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, put his head on the ground, and whispered: "General Xu, our Beijin is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”
I sat back in my chair and looked at the gray-haired old man with my chin on my hands.
After a while, Fang Beijin saw that I didn't move, raised his head, and asked with some hesitation: "What can the general doubt?"
I smiled and gestured to the stool.
Only then did Fang Beijin get up and sit respectfully on the stool.
I took a sip of my teacup, and then said: "The area around the boundary monument of Wolong Mountain is still a barren mountain and wild mountain, I need a person who is familiar with Wolong Mountain and the grassland, take these captives, and establish a defense line, the imaginary enemy is not only the grassland gods, but also the Qingfeng army." ”
Looking at Fang Beijin, who was a little dazed, I smiled and said, "I will call Brother Li to come over and help you identify and transform the captives, the main ones who are transformed are the tribal army of the Protoss, which is the so-called herdsman. ”
"Conversion?"
Fang Beijin repeated these two words with some confusion.
"It's to make them our people as soon as possible. ”
I smiled, reached out and took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff and said.
Fang Beijin was stunned for a moment, and then a light appeared in his eyes.
"So-and-so, I would like to go. ”
The old man said sonorously.
......
......
Standing next to the long marching army, I said to Wu Youliang with a smile: "This Taozhi battalion is really an elite soldier in a hundred battles, this is supplemented by eighty percent of the recruits, and it can actually do a big battle without dying a single person, tsk." ”
Wu Youliang said with a smile: "General, what we are adding is not a new soldier, but a leader in the Wolong Army." Do you think that the soldiers who can fight from the millions of gold and silver accounts, and reach Taoyuan from the four towns in front of the mountains hundreds of miles away, how weak can they be?"
I shook my head and said, "This Baili River is a talent. ”
Wu Youliang smiled and said: "General Tao has reduced the 500,000 Qingfeng army to 5,000 people, and which one of the remaining ones is not a talent? Let's just say that the 2,000 people in the original military camp, if you pick one out at random, you can also be a small banner in other military ranks." ”
I smiled and said, "This is a good feeling, and it is the same as my request for the escort team, you tell the battalions that we are going to set up an officer training team in the Taozhi battalion, and ask them to recommend people to join." Once a month, the eliminated military sticks will be punished ten, and the recommenders will be punished together. ”
Wu Youliang was stunned and said, "Then they are afraid of punishment and don't recommend it, what should I do?"
I smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Down, it's not going to be." It's up to you to decide how many people each battalion must recommend. ”
After saying that, he walked straight forward.
According to the news from the pass, the Protoss army has 20,000 troops, and they are constantly attacking the camp of Wolong Mountain every day, but the rest of the men and horses are nowhere to be found.
According to Wu Youliang's judgment, Li Jianxiong should have known the news of the defeat of the Protoss Army in the Fengwu Plain, and the attack on the Wolong Mountain camp was a cover, and he should have wanted to run away.
Based on this judgment, there are no more than two ways for the Protoss army to escape, one is to go down to the official road and exit the Sunset Mountain from the Fengwu Plain. The other is Wolong Mountain along a radius of dozens of miles, passing through the Valley of Flowers to Sunset Mountain.
Why are there only two paths?
Because according to Fang Beijin, the Wolong Mountain in Qingfeng City, except for the four towns in front of the mountain north of Qingfeng, can be crossed by boundary monuments not far from the pass, and the rest of the land is facing the grassland line, full of cliffs and cliffs thousands of meters high, and the birds are sad, not to mention the people.
And the boundary monument is impossible for the gods to cross, and the enchantment there has the most essential distinction between the people of the two realms of immortals and gods.
The Sunset Mountain behind the Valley of Hundred Flowers is another barrier, this mountain range more than 1,000 meters high, not only connects the Two Realms Mountain and Wolong Mountain, but also divides the Fengwu Plain and the Qingfeng Plain into two.
Of course, they can also pass through the southern foothills of the Liangjie Mountain, cross the reckless uninhabited forest sea, and go east or north, but that is impossible.
Because to the east of the Two Realms Mountain, there are several fairyland city-states, and to the north, it is the eastern border of the Qianyuan country, not to mention how many people can be left after crossing the no-man's land and the forest sea, let's just say that the fairyland countries, grabbing a god clan and putting it in a cage for exhibition have done a lot in the past.
Judging in this way, I issued an order, the Flying Tiger and Feisha Battalions had already deployed along the official road in the direction of Taoyuan, and Chen Qinglong personally took the scout battalion and scattered to Wolong Mountain to find Li Jianxiong's camp.
Wu Youliang and I took the escort battalion and joined the team of the Taozhi battalion, searching along Wolong Mountain in the direction of Taoyuan.
......
......
Standing on the edge of the Void Valley, I looked at this canyon a thousand meters deep with some palpitations.
Wu Youliang pointed to several gullies on the left and right and said: "In the past, the water on the mountain was washed down from several gullies and converged under the Xuhuai Valley to form two rivers, the left one formed the Luping River, and the right one formed the Wangxi River. ”
I looked at the felled trees and several stone dams that had been built artificially above the Xuhuai Valley, nodded and said, "General Fang forcibly stopped these hundreds of gullies, and only manually dug a few drainage canals to collect water into this Xuhuai Valley. ”
Wu Youliang said with a smile: "This big earthen dam under the Void Valley should have been pushed to the peaks on both sides. The river is dammed here, and when it reaches a certain amount, only a few flood channels need to be dug at the bottom of the dam to collapse and release the floodwater. ”
I sighed a few times, turned my head to Bailijiang and said, "Take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the terrain, General Fang is really an old man." ”
Bailijiang said with a smile: "General Fang has been in charge of the Wolong Army for thirty years, and it is by no means in vain. ”
I smiled and said, "Let's go." ”
The camp of the military headquarters was chosen in Xuhuai Valley, and Wu Youliang was carefully considered.
This is located at the height of Wolong Mountain, and there is a water source, the key is that after the flooded Seventh Army, from the Xuhuai Valley to the mountains of the Fengwu Plain, it was washed out of a gully nearly one kilometer wide.
Even if Li Jianxiong found out that we were here, it would be impossible for him to cross the gully and attack the Xuhuai Valley without organizing tens of thousands of people.
Sitting down in the camp, the scouts kept coming from the military ahead.
The pass camp is as stable as Mount Tai, Huang Youliang actually took 3,000 muskets out of the village to meet the battle, and also defeated the opponent, destroying more than 5,000 enemies?
Wu Youliang handed me a somewhat speechless general's report, I looked at it with a smile and said: "There is a smoothbore gun method called three-stage shooting, that is, the army is divided into three rows, the first row lies down, the second row squats, and the third row stands, taking turns to shoot and maintain uninterrupted firepower. ”
Wu Youliang thought for a while and said, "Is this kind of tactic used by the Workers' Battalion?"
I smiled and said, "There is no other way to defeat the Silver Horde army than this method of warfare. This method must have been taught to the Workers' Battalion by Brother Li. ”
Wu Youliang nodded, handed me the military report in his hand again, and said: "The Taogan camp of Sunset Mountain has received the enemy, and there is a general of the Iron Tent Clan of the Divine Tent Clan, who led 30,000 Divine Clan troops to attack Sunset Mountain. The battle report said that this general was strong in immortal law and exquisite in tactics. ”
I pondered for a while, this tactic is exquisite, it should be Liu Canghai.
Wu Youliang picked up the third battle report and said to me with a lonely expression: "A large number of corpses of the Silver Horde Army were found at the boundary monument, about seven or eight thousand people, with no injuries all over their bodies, and they were suspected to have been killed by the boundary monument enchantment. ”
I took it over and took a closer look, and there were a lot of abandoned ordnance and grain and grass?
I smiled at Wu Youliang, who was playing with the fire with his head down: "Pass the order, the Feisha and Feihu Battalion must not relax, and be strictly guarded along the official road." ”
Wu Youliang raised his head and looked at me fiercely.
I smiled and said, "Then since Li Jianxiong has a noble status, there is a high probability that he will not take risks and walk the boundary monument." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Hu'er Te outside shouting, "Brother Chen." ”
Before the words fell, Chen Qinglong broke in, and said a little anxiously: "Lin Feihu led the army to reinforce the Wolong Mountain camp without authorization, and the Protoss army of more than 20,000 people broke through the defense line of the Flying Tiger Camp and entered the Two Realms Mountain. ”
I stood up with a "pout" and slammed the teacup in my hand to the ground.
