Chapter Ninety-Six: Taking the Initiative (1)

"When will it be quiet, now that the people's livelihood is withering, the people can no longer bear it. Mu Tianxiang was pondering, and Zhao Yu, who had come to the yamen, walked in and said.

But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and this battle is already ready to be fought. Mu Tianxiang looked at Zhao Yu in front of him, as an ordinary person promoted by Mu Tianxiang, he can be said to be conscientious and conscientious in the past year. The governed Tianyu City has also begun to recover.

"If it is fought two years later, the people can breathe a sigh of relief. Zhao Yu wanted to say something.

"The Liuyun Sect has already decided, it is inevitable, I can only fight for the rest of the decisive battle to avoid causing too much impact on Tianyu City. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Once a war starts, anything can happen, and it is difficult for Tianyu City to stay out of it. Zhao Yu said with a wry smile. I don't have much confidence in Mu Tianxiang.

Mu Tianxiang looked at Zhao Yu in front of him, he had done everything himself in the past year, forgetting to sleep and eating, although he was not yet fifty years old, his temples had already been dyed with frost.

Fifty years old is still not a big age in the cultivation world, but for ordinary people in the world, it is already not a small age.

"County Magistrate Zhao should also pay attention to his body, and the pills given to you should also be taken on time. Mu Tianxiang didn't want to talk about the war anymore and diverted the topic.

"I can't compare with you cultivators, and I am very content to live to be fifty years old. "Zhao Yu is very optimistic.

"Does County Magistrate Zhao have any familiar friends?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"What does Mr. Mu mean......" Zhao Yu thought of something, but he was not sure yet.

"In the future, the problems of people's livelihood will be put into the hands of ordinary people, cultivators will still be mainly in the army in the future, and cultivators will still have many problems in managing ordinary people...... Mu Tianxiang said.

"Yes, there are, but they were only masters or low-level officials before, and they didn't have much management experience. Zhao Yu thought for a while and said.

"There is no one now, as long as the character is okay, use it first, and slowly sum up the experience, these costs are what we must pay. Mu Tianxiang said indifferently. The big tree doesn't grow in a day, but there are some crooked branches and slanted branches in the growth, so you can cut it with a knife.

"When this war is over, I'll get in touch. Zhao Yu is still not optimistic about this battle.

Mu Tianxiang didn't care, and chatted with Zhao Yu about people's livelihood for a while, because Mu Tianxiang was very busy, Zhao Yu was not convenient to disturb for a long time, so he left.

February 27

"Deputy Marshal Ma, you command 200,000 people, set off on the same day, and send troops to Tianhai County on the first day of March. Mu Tianxiang took out a general order and handed it to Ma Xiaoke.

"The last will be ordered!"

"Hao Jun, you lead the people of your headquarters to Haicheng in advance to investigate the enemy's situation, there must be no mistake!" Mu Tianxiang took out the second general's order.

"The last will be ordered!"

"Zhang Wei, you will do your best to ensure all the supplies of the army, and there will be no delay!" Mu Tianxiang took out the third general order.

"The last will be ordered!"

......

Flags are waving, and people are shouting and neighing. The armies marched separately.

Looking at the armies in the distance, Mu Tianxiang was also emotional, a year ago there were less than 50,000 troops, and now there are hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Tianxiang, what mission do we have this time?" Shangguan Jin, Ouyang Xiaozhi, and Nangong Yan asked.

Ouyang Xiaozhi still set off from the army to do a good job of medical aid. Mu Tianxiang said: "Nangong Yan and Liu Zongwei assisted the vanguard army to break the enemy's formation. ”

"What about me?" Shangguan Jin said.

"You go with me. Mu Tianxiang said with a smile.

Shangguan Jin's temperament is not suitable for fighting, but he will not stay behind, so he has to stay by his side, after all, it is a melee of millions of people, anything can happen, if something happens, then Mu Tianxiang will not regret his death.

"Uncle Mu. I'm ready to go into battle too. A group of children led by Hu Bing were also eager to try.

There is no problem with cultivation, at least they are all high-level Xuan-level, and the high-level ones are already mid-level at the prefecture level, Zhang Wei and them have already gone into battle to fight when they are so old. However, cultivation on the battlefield cannot guarantee absolute safety, these are Mu Tianxiang's future, and there is no room for any mistakes. So Mu Tianxiang didn't want them to go to the battlefield too early.

"This time we all went out, the family stayed, next time, next time you will arrange a shift and go out with me in batches. Mu Tianxiang said.

"Uncle Mu doesn't lie?"

"Don't lie, there will be a lot of battles in the future, and you will always go to the battlefield," Mu Tianxiang promised.

If you don't experience the wind and rain, you can't see the rainbow, Mu Tianxiang thought about it, but he couldn't bear it, these children still have to grow up, and it's no problem to get in touch with it early, so as not to suffer losses in the future, next time I will take these children to experience it in batches, it's okay, Mu Tianxiang is also very conflicted.

March 1st, early in the morning!

"Let's go!"

With a wave of Ma Xiaoke's hand, hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed out.

"Reported! It's less than 200 miles away from Haicheng!"

"What an enemy!"

"No enemy information found!"

"Probe!"

......

The military situation of the reporter who probed the endless flow of horses.

"Deputy Marshal Ma, it seems that the enemy army is not prepared in the slightest, this place is less than a hundred miles away from Haicheng, half a day is enough!" said Ma Thong, the commander of the Fifth Army.

"Don't be careless! It is impossible for the enemy's 600,000 troops to retreat in the city, there must be a garrison outside the city, and at that time, you, Zhang Haojun, and Wang Junran will each lead their headquarters to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop. Beat them out until they didn't dare to go out of the city. Ma Xiaoke said.

"Surround the enemy forces outside the city, lure the enemy troops out of the city to rescue, and then concentrate superior forces to destroy them. Isn't it good, so that the siege losses will be smaller in the future. Zhang Haojun said.

"The strategy set by the general manager himself, let's carry it out!" In order to keep it secret, the military commander below did not know the whole plan.

"Report!" Ten miles ahead of the discovery of enemy troops,"

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"About 300,000!"

"How's the defense!"

"There is no defense! There are no antlers around the camp!"

"Probe!"

......

Ten miles is already a very close distance, the tanma on both sides has begun to engage, one side is prepared, the other side is unprepared, the tanma of Tianyu City is constantly reaping the scattered tanma of Haicheng. The situation is one-sided.

"Ma Tam, Zhang Haojun, and Wang Junran immediately attacked and acted according to the plan!" Ma Xiaoke ordered.

"Order!"

Three armies, nearly 100,000 men and horses on the left, center, and right, began to attack like three arrows off the string!

Haicheng! City Lord's Mansion!

"Liu Shuai, this time our 600,000 soldiers and horses are attacking with all our might, I don't know if Tianyu City will be scared to pee......"

"Haha...... Mu Tianxiang's children are probably starting to run away now......"

"That's it, it's ......"

Liu Yunhai listened to the compliments of his generals, and he was also complacent, raised his glass and said: "Don't be careless, Tianyu City still has more than 100,000 people......

"As far as his hundreds of thousands of stragglers are concerned, it is a question of whether they can be assembled...... "One general mocked.

It can be seen that the army of Haicheng has been arrogant from the commander to the ordinary soldiers, and in the past year, they have not explored the situation of Tianyu City at all, and their thoughts are still stuck in the past, but they don't know that Mu Tianxiang has expanded to more than 300,000 troops, and they are no longer the appearance of loose military discipline, they are all elite soldiers who have undergone at least half a year of intensive training.

"Report!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Yunhai asked, looking at the embarrassed Tanma.

"The army of Tianyu City appeared near Haicheng and began to attack!"

"Smack!" The wine glass shattered to the ground, the generals of Haicheng were a little confused, they also planned to attack Tianyu City after resting for three days, but they didn't expect the army of Tianyu City to come......

This is not a dream, how dare Tianyu City be like this, dare to take the initiative without defending......

"How many people are there in the enemy army!" asked Liu Yunhai, who was the head coach, was relatively calm.

"The damage of the Tanma is too great, and the specific situation is unknown, but it is estimated that there are at least 100,000 ......."

"Keep exploring," Liu Yunhai rebuked angrily.

"Dashuai, don't worry, although Tianyu City took the initiative unexpectedly, it is not a good thing. The military advisor next to him said.

"How?"

"We have 600,000 horses in Haicheng, as long as we eat more than 100,000 horses in Tianyu City, how many people are there in Tianyu City? What else can we resist? When the time comes, the commander will send tens of thousands of military horses to receive Tianyu City, and it will save us from working on an expedition and wasting resources, wouldn't it be better to do this!" said the military advisor shaking his head.

"It's ......"

The generals below echoed one by one.

"Everyone follow Ben Shuai to the city tower to have a look!" Liu Yunhai is no matter how mediocre he is, he is also a person who has fought for hundreds of years, Tianyu City's initiative has been beyond his expectations, and at this time, he has to find a way to deal with it, otherwise he may not be able to clean it up, after all, Liu Yunhai also knows the situation of his generals preparing for war, and it can be said that he is unprepared.

The situation was a little different, and Liu Yunhai also felt a trace of vigilance. But Liu Yunhai never thought that he would fail, it was just a big loss, after all, he also had 600,000 men.

Liu Yunhai hurried to the city tower with a group of people.

Less than two miles from the Haicheng camp, Ma Thong began to reorganize the formation and prepare for the final attack.

"Commander Ma, the enemy's camp is in chaos, it seems that we didn't expect us to take the initiative!" said the deputy commander, pointing to the camp in Haicheng.

"Don't be careless, after all, there are nearly 300,000 people outside the city, and there are more than 300,000 in the city," Ma Tam said cautiously.

"How long can it take us to defeat the army outside the city, and the 300,000 horses in the city just want to go out of the city to rescue, and they can't do it in half a day, right? The deputy commander said contemptuously.

"In a moment, you order all divisions to attack the enemy in battalions and regiments, and drive the enemy troops as far as possible near the city gate, and do not be afraid of chaos," Ma Tam said.

Now that the situation is very good, it is not easy for Ma Tam to say anything, and it is not good to talk too much or be too cautious to delay the fighters or affect morale.

......

As an old squad leader, Zhu Fugui led his squad to stand at the front of the team, holding a shield in his left hand and his own *** in his right hand.

Yes, it's ***, I heard that it was invented by Mr. Mu, this knife is heavy in front and light in the back, and the shape is the same as a dog's leg, and it is called "***" by the soldiers. "This knife is extremely sharp, and it is very good for slashing.

Some soldiers said that this knife is not conducive to defense, Zhu Fugui thought with contempt, defense on the battlefield is a shield, and the knife is used to slash and kill, and I thought it was a martial arts competition, you have a knife, I have a knife. On the battlefield, a single knife often determines life and death.

"Ready!" shouted the captain!

The battle is about to begin!
