Chapter 578: The New Army Arrives
The number of days that everyone speculated, Mo Ling also guessed, just expected to be more than two years, which is already a long time, and I don't know what the specific battle situation was during this period, and I don't know how many people and soldiers died.
Even though she wanted to end the war soon, there was no shortcut to war, and she could only follow the rules step by step.
Bai Yixuan looked at the map and thought, pointing to a few small bumps, "Although the route is far away, fortunately, the cities are far away, and it is impossible to support quickly, but there are four mountains to climb on the route, and I am afraid it will be very difficult." ”
Cao Zhou said heroically: "So what, I will lead the heavy infantry as the vanguard and open the way for the rear troops." ”
After saying that, he stiffened and lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly, forgetting that his soldiers, Xu Ye's elite troops, and the crossbow archers who joined the heavy infantry had all been killed.
The remaining 7,000 men were half iron horsemen, half archers and crossbow archers on the high slopes, and food troops.
The soldiers who followed him for several years, including his lieutenant general, were all killed in battle.
Xu Ye was also very uncomfortable, including Ge Hao and Shao Da, it can be said that today's battle was the most tragic casualty since they joined the army.
However, war is like this, there is no victory without sacrifice, peace has always been based on sacrifice, and they regret that their grief is useless, and there will be sacrifices until the day the war is over.
Mo Ling asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Ge Hao shook his head, "Just do what Mo Shuai said, now you can only choose this line." ”
The last general agreed. ”
"Agreed. ”
"Seconded. ”
"Okay, then wait for the day when the support army arrives, and start attacking Dechang City, during this time, Ji Liyan will definitely come to recover Zichuan City, and he will defend it to the death. ”
"Yes!"
Next, Mo Ling discussed with them the deployment of the city, and when the discussion was over, he returned to the inn, Chu Lang lay on the table and fell asleep, saw her sleepily gotten up, and handed her a letter, "Letter from your imperial uncle." ”
Mo Ling took it, and the letter was full of Mo Yulie's guilt, telling her to pay attention to safety on the battlefield, and then told her about the recent situation of her imperial grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, and Grandpa Chen, as well as the recent situation of Xiao Yu and Xiao Rhino.
Finally, he told her that he would mobilize 200,000 dead soldiers to go to the north to help her.
After reading the letter, Mo Ling couldn't help but read it again from beginning to end, she saw that the letter said that her grandfather had been bedridden since she left, and her grandmother's body bones had plummeted, as well as Xiao Yu and Xiao Rhino, who were still crying every day and wanted to see her.
All kinds of guilt welled up in her heart, she was unfilial, causing several old people to worry about her every day, she was selfish, and her younger sister was killed After her parents died, her only sister also went to the unknown place of life and death.
Her relatives and friends spent every day in the capital in worrying about tea and dinner.
She should be filial to the elderly, she should accompany her younger siblings, and she should not let them worry.
But if that's the case, presumably she will live a life worse than death, and if she doesn't avenge the murder of her parents, she will not be at peace in this life, so she can only go against their expectations.
Take a deep breath, suppress the unbearable in your heart, stuff the letter into your arms, and sleep with a few of them in your arms.
Ji Liyan was on the second day, when he received the loss of Zichuan City at dawn, he sat on the couch with his robe on, his brows were tightly locked, Qin Yi was defeated, it was really unexpected.
The spies came to report that the general of Dechang City went to Zichuan City at night to inquire about the results of the battle, but saw the Mo army defending the city in the distance, and immediately knew that Qin Yi was defeated, and immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book to him when he returned to the city.
The letter didn't say anything about the specific war situation, and he didn't know who defeated Qin Yi, he felt that it wouldn't be Huo Jianghao, it was impossible for him to defeat Qin Yi after repeated defeats, and now there is no one who can command the Mo army, there is only Mo Ling!
The corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile, it was really funny, Qin Yi attacked the city for three days and three nights, and there were less than 100,000 people left in the Mo army, she was able to lead a mere 100,000 people to defeat Qin Yi's hundreds of thousands of troops.
After all, he underestimated her abilities.
Get up, go to the table to hold a pen, write a letter to Dechang City, and let the generals stationed in the city attack Zichuan City.
He had a look of indifference throughout, and he was eager to see what she did next.
I went back to the couch and wanted to continue sleeping, but I couldn't sleep, these days I was occupied by the war, and when I thought of her today, my heart began to surge with unknown emotions again.
The peach blossom eyes full of hatred, the cold face, can't get rid of it in my mind.
I really want to see her again, I want to ask him what happened to her.
*
Time flies, ten days have passed, since General Dechang received Ji Li's order to attack the city, he has been attacking the city for ten consecutive days.
But there are 100,000 knights sitting in the city, and the general does not reach Moling, and every time it is fruitless.
On the second day of the night with the minister, Mo Yu made Mo Ling handsome and distributed it together with the good news.
The capital was in an uproar, the people were both shocked and surprised, they hadn't seen the county lord appear in the capital for a long time, how could they think that they had gone to the north, and had led the soldiers to fight on the battlefield for the commander!
It's more joyful, and the successive defeats have this good news, which has dispersed the lifeless atmosphere of the capital.
The people raised their arms in the streets and cheered, cheering for the Mo Ling, cheering for the soldiers, celebrating this hard-won victory.
Most of the people support her as a handsome, but there are also a few men and women inferior, and their ideas have been deeply rooted, even if Mo Ling has made military achievements, he still opposes women entering the military camp.
Because of these two pieces of news, the capital is no longer silent, and these two things are circulating in the streets and alleys every day, and all kinds of discussions and praises are everywhere.
And after ten days of transmission, the fact that Mo Ling is handsome has slowly spread to other countries, causing an uproar again.
When the four countries were peaceful, the people of all countries admired her, but when this Zeng fake was torn, that admiration also turned into hostility.
The people of all countries have disdainful and discussed, in addition to the female respect for the country, the male respect for the country since ancient times women can not enter the military camp, the Mo Huang is really ridiculous, the soldier to fight this kind of thing has been a man since ancient times, she can do it as a woman? Can she carry the banner?
But when she heard that she defeated Qin Yi's hundreds of thousands of troops with 100,000 people, the disdainful rhetoric slowly disappeared.
In short, because of two things, the four big words "Lord of Leping", which had been silent for a long time, appeared in the ears of the public again.
At the same time, it also reached the ears of the emperors of the other three kingdoms.
The moment Nangong Tinghuang heard it, he kept patting his sister-in-law on the shoulder, laughing again and again, and said vigorously, Mo Yulie, the old fox, finally got his senses, and complained about him, if he handed over the military power to Xiao Lingling as soon as possible, Fangcheng would be beaten so tragically some time ago.
When Shen Si Xun and Ji Liyan received the news, their reactions were mediocre, she had been in the north for a long time, and she led her troops to defeat Qin Yi, and Emperor Mo would give her military power sooner or later, which was expected.
In other words, Mo Yulie had already given her the handsome seal, and in that battle with Qin Yi, she used the identity of handsome, otherwise how could she have the right to mobilize soldiers and horses.
As soon as they heard this, they focused their attention on attacking the western frontier.
At present, in the south, the Mo army and Ye Qianao are fighting with the night army and the underworld army, and even if Yancheng defeats the two armies with the loss, the Mo army still has three defenses, which is not a good breakthrough.
There are strange spirits in the north, and only in the west.
Although the two of them are defending each other in an alliance with Ji Liyan, if they break a border, it will be beneficial to him or him, and it is rare for the two of them to take off their defenses against the enemy together on the western border.
*
A few days later, on April 19, Mo Yulie sent an army of 400,000 troops from the north to finally arrive.
That night, the army was still about to attack the city, and after a little deployment, Mo Ling led the army to kill Dechang City.
Halfway to meet the night army that came to attack the city, the two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon, the Mo army won a great victory, killed the remaining captives, and Mo Ling led the army to march towards Dechang City.
When he was in the son, he rushed to Dechang City, sent people to get rid of the only remaining soldiers in the city, and the army of 100,000 knights entered the city.
It is also fortunate that Zichuan City and Dechang City are close to each other, otherwise it would have taken a few days to arrive.
Settled in the city, Mo Ling immediately found several generals and divided the new army with them.
This time, Mo Yulie sent a large number of heavy infantry and elite soldiers, 150,000 each battalion, 50,000 iron cavalry, and 50,000 crossbow archers and archers.
As a result of the discussion, the heavy infantry and elite soldiers each transferred 10,000 horses to join the iron cavalry battalion.
The new heavy infantry battalion has 140,000 horses, 140,000 elite soldiers, more than 70,000 new troops plus the old iron cavalry, and more than 50,000 crossbow battalions and archers plus the previous ones.
After being assigned to the new army, the four generals began to divide their battalions into subdivisions.
After the end, Ge Hao asked, "Mo Shuai, can you advance north to west tomorrow?"
"On the fourth day of waiting, when Uncle Huang was in charge of me, he transferred 200,000 troops to support, presumably it will arrive in a few days, and it will not be too late for them to arrive. Mo Ling paused and said, "The 200,000 troops will not be added to the sub-army, and I will lead it." ”
Previously, the dead were led by her father, and now she should manage his father's efforts.
Also, unlike ordinary soldiers, the dead soldiers do not use formation, they only rush up to kill the enemy when they hear the order, like a wooden man who does not know the pain, even if he is seriously injured, he still fights, and will not stop until he can no longer move.
This terrible force cannot command them in the usual way of fighting.
Ge Hao asked tentatively: "Mo Shuai, the 200,000 army sent by the emperor is a dead soldier?"
Mo Ling was stunned, "Do you know that there are dead soldiers?"
In the past, few civil and military officials knew about the existence of the dead, because once more people knew about it, it would inevitably leak out.
But now I don't think it's important, her father was killed because he controlled the army of dead soldiers, presumably the fact that there are dead soldiers in the strange country, through Ji Liyan's mouth, many people already know about it.
However, these people have been at the border, how can they know?
Xu Ye replied: "We have always suspected that the death of King Mo and Princess Mo is related to the Night Kingdom, and we wrote to ask the emperor for the truth. But we were afraid of leaking out, and we didn't tell the soldiers, only Li Shuai and the four of us knew, and we only told them that the night kingdom killed King Mo and Princess Mo, and we didn't tell the specific situation. ”
