When Fei Dong and the three of them heard that they would face 150,000 officers and soldiers, they were immediately shocked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are quite a few of them, but they know in their hearts what kind of quality their soldiers are, and they are not comparable to regular officers and soldiers.
"Sir, what shall we do?"
They no longer underestimate this outsider, because this person is not only extraordinary, but also has a super fast source of information, although they have a sense of rejection in their hearts, but at the moment of life and death, they have to ask him.
"It's still the same one I just proposed. ”
This is the established plan and the best approach at the moment.
"Passive defense, isn't it.?"
Lan Fang was a little reluctant to defend passively.
"General Lan definitely meant to retreat and avoid its edge, but have you ever thought that it would not be difficult for the 150,000 regular army to drive us all the way to the sea. ”
Liu Fa could see the thoughts of the generals of the righteous army, and he would fight if he could fight, and run away if he couldn't, but in order to realize Zhang Xian's established plan, Liu Fa mercilessly attacked their speculative thoughts.
"But we didn't retreat, 150,000 officers and soldiers surrounded us here, and there were no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and they trapped us to death. ”
This is military common sense, and Fei Dong understands that once they are besieged, the situation is definitely not good for them.
"This situation will definitely happen in the early stage, as long as we are well prepared and hold on for half a month, the situation of the battle will change, and then it will be time for us to fight back. ”
"Well, could it be that the army of the alliance leader has arrived, and the officers and soldiers besieging us will withdraw and come back?"
Bai Tian's wisdom is extraordinary, and he also has some strategies, but the rabble of the righteous army restricts his intelligence, Liu Fa talked about the changes in the battle situation, the first thing he thought of was the alliance leader's order, the spring offensive, to destroy the king of Chu Wei and establish his own dynasty, it was very tempting, and he had a sense of distrust and rejection of Zhang Xian and Liu Fa from this.
"This is one of them, won't there be a big move from the lord. ”
Liu Fa reminded the three of them.
"Fortress!"
The three of them finally came to their senses.
Although Fei Dong has seen Zhang Xian's extraordinary and potential energy, Lan Fang and Bai Tian have not seen Zhang Xian, but they have heard of it, and they also know that Zhang Xian is known as the first warrior of the younger generation, but after all, he is too young, and now he is still sending people under the fence, how can he be as powerful as the alliance leader, Liu Fa can see their thoughts, but they can't persuade with their mouths, they can only use time to prove that the lord is their best choice.
And what he has to do now is to urge them not to sabotage the lord's plan, reveal a little secret, and capture their hearts, which he has already done, and the effect is very good, super powerful intelligence network, super fast intelligence, this is what the rebels lack the most, just because of this information, let them not suffer much loss, all the way to get here.
"Hehe, but pay attention to secrecy, we dragged these 150,000 people, it is beneficial to the alliance leader, and it is also helpful to the lord, and it is we who will benefit in the end, the two cities we have won, but we have got a lot of benefits, the front Wuyang City has many industries of the banker, that is the biggest cake fast, we stay here, but also to give the banker a hope, otherwise let him transfer the industry, we will be busy in vain." ”
"Understood, we not only dragged down 150,000 officers and soldiers, relieved the pressure on the alliance leader, but also gave the dealer a false impression, the rebels are not capable of capturing Wuyang City, they don't need to transfer the property with labor and effort, and wait until the battle situation changes, we strike a thunderbolt and quickly take Wuyang City. ”
The three of them figured out this section, not only relieved by the upcoming oppression of the army, but also admired Liu Fa, so they no longer rejected passive defense, and were ready to actively prepare for defense, not to mention half a month, they could hold on for a month.
"What about the madmen, do you need to inform them?"
The righteous army pays attention to the word righteousness, Fei Dong knows that Liu Fa stumbled the madman and led the black armor iron horse over, and the madman's ending must be very tragic, but he can't say it, Lan Fang and the others don't know, so they asked.
"60,000 black-armored iron horsemen, how many people we go to deliver food, besides, we are more than 400 miles away from Qiman Mountain, there are no cavalry, we don't wait to get there, I'm afraid that the madman will be defeated, as for whether to notify them or not, you make your own decision, but I think, you may be thankless, the madman is greedy for money, he is a person who thinks, he can't be treated like a normal person, you are kind, he will think you have a plan." ”
"Forget it, I know him, madman, so don't do it too much, let's do our thing. ”
Fei Dong shook his head and said.
"The officers and soldiers are estimated to be able to arrive here in the middle of the new year, we only have more than half a month to prepare, and the general also strictly ordered all the generals to do a good job of defense facilities, and not to be perfunctory. ”
Liu Fa finally said to Fei Dong seriously.
Fei Dong and the three of them know the severity, and they will personally supervise it.
There was a river in front of the place where they camped, more than 300 steps wide, although the river water dropped a lot in winter, and the deepest part had to be more than one person deep, Liu Fa suggested leaving the river fifty paces away and starting to do defense, so as to avoid the range of the strong crossbows of the officers and soldiers, and they only had to hide in the fence and throw to stop the officers and soldiers who swam across, if the officers and soldiers wanted to build a pontoon bridge, they could only go to the center of the river, and then they would be within their range.
After two busy days, the New Year came, and because there was still free time, Fei Dong took a day off.
"In two days, the main guild will send us a hundred iron-armed crossbows, a thousand strong bows, the range of iron-armed crossbows can reach the other side, if you want to use strange soldiers, first select some strong soldiers, I will teach them how to use strong crossbows. ”
Liu Fa brought an exciting good news to Fei Dong, this sharp weapon is the most lacking in the righteous army, and defense is indispensable, although it is a little less, but Fei Dong and the three of them know that such sharp weapons as iron arms, crossbows and bows are very precious, even in the hands of regular officers and soldiers.
At this critical moment, Zhang Xian is like sending charcoal in the snow.
On the second day of the first lunar month, the weather suddenly warmed up, and it rained again in the evening.
This made the ghost weather make the officers and soldiers who came out of the fortress suffer, and their mood was full of cakes.
In addition to the black-armored iron cavalry, which has approached Qiman Mountain, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the fortress1, more than half of these geniuses have come out, and the official road stretching for more than 100 miles is full of officers and soldiers, and the sudden climate change and cold rain have made the officers and soldiers have to stop, and the official road is full of marching tents on both sides.
The 10,000 heavy armored army of the black armored iron cavalry was finally left in Shangjing by the king of Chu Wei, Yao Linci said to the king of Chu Wei that the heavy armored army was not fast, and it was useless to go to the southeast with it, and after staying in the territory of the army, it was possible to deter possible riots in the capital city, and then there was a surprise army at a critical moment, and the Chinese army of Lian Wu was defeated in one fell swoop, and the key to victory or defeat may be on the heavy armored iron cavalry, and Song Xin, who acted as the general, also agreed to leave the heavy armored iron cavalry, and the king of Chu Wei agreed.
There were originally more than 300,000 people in Shangjing, plus nearly 400,000 horses from the fortress, 60,000 black-armored iron cavalry light cavalry to gallop to aid the Qimanshan gold mine, and more than 10,000 baggage battalions followed closely behind, Song Xin was ready to use 150,000 people to meet the rebels in the south to regain the lost territory, 150,000 people to the north to meet the rebels coming from the north, and the rest were all spread out in the east to fight a decisive battle with Lian Wu's million main forces.
Song Xin's plan was praised by Marquis Wu, and King Chu Wei had no objections, everything was in a tense arrangement, and even Wu's vanguard was less than a hundred miles away from Shangjing, and the difference between the brigade and the horses was a day or two away.
The sudden rain slowed down the movement of both sides, and on the 10th day of the first lunar month, the clouds of war hung over the sky five hundred miles around Shangjing.
Luo Fei and Zhu Jian sat sadly under the temporary thatched hut, they didn't expect that after crossing the mountain peak to the sunny side, the road was so difficult, they tried all means, but the speed of the march was like a snail.
They were frugal, but it was estimated that there would be ten days before the destination, but they only had two days of dry food left, and seven or eight days of rainy weather made them even worse, and many people fell ill, but fortunately they were prepared, with medicines, and finally there was no death, but they were going to run out of food, which was the biggest problem, and the two had nothing to do.
At this moment, news came from the front army that they had found someone coming up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”
Luo Fei and Zhu Jian's faces changed when they heard this, their current state has no combat effectiveness at all, and they don't even have a weapon to take advantage of, once their whereabouts are exposed, then there is a danger that the entire army will be wiped out.
"Where and how many are there?"
Coming to the front, Luo Fei asked nervously.
"Behind that hill two hundred paces ahead, there may be four or five people, and they seem to have spotted us and hid. ”
"It's definitely enemy scouts, find a way to kill them. ”
"Wow. ”
The tooth general was just about to call someone, and a man turned out from behind the hill.
What the man was shouting, the tooth general couldn't understand what he was shouting, Luo Fei Zhu Jian listened intently for a while, and suddenly jumped up happily.
"Haha, it's the man sent by the lord to pick us up. ”
It turned out that the person was speaking something that he couldn't understand, it was a code word of the red evil, and people like Luo Fei and Zhu Jian, as long as they explained it in advance, they could understand the meaning.
Luo Fei stood up and shouted something that the tooth general couldn't understand, and all the people below appeared and walked quickly to the top.
After the people below came up, they looked at the embarrassed group of people, and couldn't find which one was the main general.
"I'm Luo Fei. ”
Luo Fei saw that the red evil person was embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Oh, the lowly rank greets General Luo," said the Red Evil came with five men, one of whom seemed to be the head of the five of them, and he saluted Luo Fei, as did the four behind him: "We have come to the end of suffering, the general and the brothers. ”
Hearing this man's report, it turned out that they found them so late because they were exploring the way, originally there were three people, and then two more people chased after them.
"We're running out of food soon, can we find a shortcut?"
"Report to the general, I found it, if it goes well, it won't take more than four days to reach the Tibetan point. ”
"Okay. . . ”
Luo Fei shouted a few times, tears almost fell, and he was really grateful to the people of the red evil, otherwise it would be very likely that 20,000 people would be trapped in the mountains, four days, two days of food, but this is acceptable, everyone is saving a little, and they will stick to the place.
One of the five was sent back to report the news.
On the 14th day of the first month of the new year, Luo Fei's 20,000 beggar soldiers finally arrived at the Tibetan soldier point, there were not many people here in Chixie, and they had to do the cooking themselves.
"Won't it poison them?"
Zhang Xian prepared a large amount of carbon for them. However, it is easy to be poisoned when used in an unventilated cave, and Luo Fei is very worried about his weak soldiers who can be blown down by a single wind.
"Look there, General, there is a vertical hole leading to the top of the mountain, and the smoke can flow out of there, so it should be fine. ”
Luo Fei observed, but there was no problem, because behind enemy lines, they did not dare to light a fire, so they could only use smokeless and expensive charcoal for cooking.
Luo Fei Zhu Jian looked around and felt that there was no big problem, because Zhang Xian had prepared them very well.
"General, go and rest, it's safe here, and besides, we are sentry, and we will report back to you in time if there is a situation." ”
In fact, Luo Fei and Zhu Jian couldn't stand it anymore, and their eyes were black for a while, but as the head of the army, they couldn't be derelict in their duties, so they insisted.
According to the plan, Luo Fei and they still have half a month of rest, which is enough time for them to recover.
Luo Fei endured all the hardships along the way and reached the destination with great difficulty.
On the other side of the mountain, Luo Wei led people to repair the plank road, but encountered great difficulties, the weather became warmer, it rained again, the snow melted, and the water turned into ice at night, even if the plank road has been repaired, it is difficult for people to walk on it, and if they slip down accidentally, they will be crushed to pieces.
Liu Yong personally came over with 20,000 fresh troops, and this plank road played a very important role in the whole plan, but because of the terrain and weather, the progress was slow.
"According to the information obtained, the Chu army has already begun to withdraw from the fortress, and now the fortress is very chaotic, we are still some distance from the fortress, and they are not very vigilant at this time, and they don't need to be too secretive, the main thing is to speed up. ”
But Liu Yong got the proposal sent back by Chen Gongwei, and after repeated deductions on the sand table, he found that it was very important to repair this plank road, so he strongly supported it.
Liu Yong withdrew the tired wounded soldiers, and 20,000 fresh troops joined, and the progress was much faster, but according to the time calculation, it is not optimistic, especially in the final stage, it will be more difficult to operate without alarming the defenders.
"Do your best. ”
Liu Yong patted Luo Wei on the shoulder.
Liu Yong, the commander-in-chief here, handed it over to Luo Wei, which doubled the pressure on Luo Wei.
Seeing that there were still more than ten days to go, Liu Yong knew that if there was no miracle, it would indeed be difficult to complete, but there was no way.
After explaining, Liu Yong went back, he wanted to take charge of the overall situation, this battle to seize the fortress, Luo Fei Chen Gongwei and this plank road are all strange soldiers, and his hundreds of thousands of horses are the main force, as long as Xiguan is taken, Chen Gongwei guards the entrance of the forbidden area, they can successfully control the fortress
