Chapter 8 Immediate Response
Fighting can always make people's blood boil, he definitely didn't think about what he wanted to do, but the speaker had no intention of listening, and this incident would inevitably lay hidden dangers for the future.
Starting from tomorrow, the entire Dangshan camp will be opened, and at the same time, there will be a lot of grain and grass baggage with them, and they will go to Heishui City, which is hundreds of miles away.
This matter can be handed over to Jingjian, and let this guy slowly move back.
Until the next full moon night, it will be twenty-three days.
At this juncture, the whole of Blackwater City is in full swing to prepare for the war, he definitely can't continue to grind here, in addition, Gu Ye Xiaoya's eyes seem to be a little wrong, it is better to hurry up and slip away.
But then again, he can't stay, but Jingjian can stay in order to stabilize people's hearts.
Before leaving, he had a long conversation with the only surviving Elder of the Gaoqiong tribe.
Kuli is the old man before, he briefly talked about the current situation in Blackwater City for Kuli, and at the same time, he also has a certain understanding of the entire Gaoqiong tribe.
The more than 40,000 people of the Gaoqiong tribe were all defeated prisoners, more than seventy percent of them were adult men, and thirty percent of them were women, but almost without exception, they were all adults with the ability to work, but even so, he would definitely not let 40,000 people go to the battlefield, even if someone strongly asked for it.
He didn't want to mention it, but he often walked by the river without getting his shoes wet, and in case the battle was lost, he had to leave some fire for the Gaoqiong tribe.
After discussing with Kuli, he decided to transfer 25,000 adult males and combine them with 5,000 garrisons to form an army, so that he had an army of 60,000 men on hand, which was not as large as the wolf army, but it was enough to wrestle with the wolf clan in a frontal battle.
After an overnight journey.
The next morning, he rushed to Blackwater City.
In the west building of the city, Vice General Zhao Han was taking a group of clerks to deal with military affairs, and gave him a few simple explanations, and then left the city tower, Zhao Han acted for him for two days of military affairs, and he didn't dare to close his eyes for two days and two nights, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he was sleepy.
Not long after he came back, before he had eaten a few bites of food, Ji He rushed in quickly, "General, the person you are looking for is here, it is a hunter." ”
"Where did you find it so quickly?" Meng Yun asked in surprise, looking up.
Two days ago, he had instructed Ji He to send people to find some hunters or medicine pickers who were familiar with Qingshi Mountain, and he was talking about five days, and it was only two days.
"It wasn't us who found it, it was he who came on his own initiative, saying that he wanted to sign up for the army, and there were a few other people with him," Ji He said.
"Oh, please let him in," he said, putting down the porridge bowl in his hand.
Just as he lowered his head and wiped his mouth, Ji He had already brought people in, "The generals have been brought!"
Immediately after, a familiar voice came from the front, "Grass people see general!"
Just when he was puzzled, the moment he raised his head, the whole person's eyes widened, "Brother Xiong Meng?"
Xiong Meng was stunned when he saw him, "Hey Yun little brother, ...... are you?"
"Has Brother Xiong Meng eaten?" Meng Yun got up and left his seat, it was a happy thing to meet an acquaintance.
"I've eaten it, I've eaten it, how can you ...... it, Brother Yun" Xiong Meng had already seen his identity, but he still felt a little incredulous.
"It's a long story, I'll talk to you about it when I have a chance in the future," Meng Yun said and patted Xiong Meng's shoulder, "Brother Xiong Meng, I need your help." ”
"Brother Yun, oh no, the general, please command," Xiong Meng hurriedly changed his words halfway through speaking.
"Brother Xiong Meng doesn't have to be polite, you can call it whatever you want, I, the general, am also temporary," Meng Yun said with a smile.
"The general is different from the past, don't break the rules," Xiong shook his head fiercely.
Meng Yun put away his smile and took a step back, "Okay, it's up to you, does Brother Xiong Meng know who I'm looking for?"
"This naturally knows that the general is looking for people who often hunt or collect medicine in Qingshi Mountain," Xiong Meng nodded with a straight face.
"But I remember that you seemed to be hunting on the outskirts of the Eastern Wilderness," he thought of the hunter's hut where he had met Xiong Meng.
"Actually, I went to both sides before, but the year before last, there was a yellow skin in the bluestone mountain, this thing was so fierce that it killed a hunter, and I didn't dare to touch that moldy head again," Xiong Meng said with some palpitations.
Meng Yun nodded and said, "Will you look at the map?"
"It's a little bit, I saw a parchment map at the wizard's house when I was a child," Xiong Meng said, glancing at the map on the north wall.
"Okay, come and see," Meng Yun walked over to the north wall, pointed to several locations on the map, and said, "This place is Blackwater City, Yehu Ridge is here, these mountains are Qingshi Mountain, here is Qingshi Pass, and a little above is Linshui Valley, Changlin City, etc. ”
"I used to hunt in this mountain," the bear pointed sharply to a mountain range.
Meng Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, what I want to ask now is whether there is a mountain road that crosses the Qingshi Mountain and enters the Linshui Valley!"
"Well, there are mountain roads, but the slopes are steep and not easy to walk," said Xiong Meng with some hesitation, worried that he would not do his job, abandon the city, and go hunting in the mountains.
"Really?" Meng Yun's face was overjoyed.
"Yes, there is more than one," Xiong Meng looked at his expression and became more and more worried.
"Great, get an ink pen for Brother Xiong Meng," Meng Yun rubbed his palms and said to Ji He, and then turned his head to look at Xiong Meng, "Brother Xiong Meng, you can mark these paths for me, where they are, on this map, and tell me about the specific road conditions by the way." ”
"Here you go," Ji He handed over the ink pen.
"General, you don't want to go hunting, do you?" Xiong Meng hesitated, took the ink pen and said to him again.
"Of course not," Meng Yun said stunned, he didn't know why Xiong Meng had such thoughts.
Xiong Meng was instantly relieved when he heard this, he was afraid that he would not know what to do when he was young and vigorous.
"The general is useful, you just need to mark it," Ji He frowned.
Seeing this, Xiong Meng didn't say much, turned around and marked it on the map, "There is one here nearby, it is relatively close to Qingshi Pass, pass through this path, walk more than ten miles to the east, and you can reach Qingshi Pass." ”
Meng Yun went around to the front of the map, looked up at Xiong Meng marking on the map, the first path was marked quite smoothly, from the map, it was not far from Yehuling, about more than 20 miles away.
"There's a one here in the distance, no, it seems to be here, it's not accurate on this map," Xiong Meng scratched his head in embarrassment, and failed to find the position twice before and after, and finally leaned on a little to settle the handwriting, "From this place is a valley, out of the valley, not far away is Changlin City, I used to go to Changlin City from this road to change drinks, the people in Changlin City are very rich, and the skins are very good." ”
At the moment when the second road was marked, Meng Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Xiong Meng, if you go now, can you still find this relatively distant road?"
According to his previous thoughts, there were actually two attack plans, first, to cross the Heishui River and attack directly head-on, and second, to detour the back side of Qingshi Pass and attack on two lines.
The first option will definitely not work, and the risk of casualties is too great.
Even if you can successfully cross the river and lay the Qingshi Pass, it is estimated that there will be no more people left, and there will be no work from now on, how can you do it when everyone is dead?
The second option is what he has always envisioned, to take them by surprise and minimize casualties.
However, the enemy is outnumbered, this is an indisputable fact, even if it is unexpected, it still can't change the reality, no matter what, there are still so many enemies, but on the other hand, whether it is the number or the quality, the same is not dominant.
At this moment, Xiong Meng sent him a third plan, bypassing the second way and attacking Changlin City!
This plan is a flash of inspiration, but it is by no means untargeted, between Heishui County and Changlin County, there is a bluestone pass, go two hundred miles inside, and you will arrive at Changlin City.
Changlin City is built in the Linshui Valley, which is the location of the horn mouth, the terrain is flat, there is no danger to defend, in other words, Changlin City is a lonely city on the plain, but anyone who has a little military common sense will not abandon the Qingshi Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and instead stick to such a place.
Changlin City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but it is not without strategic value, although the terrain of Qingshi Pass is dangerous, but it needs a lot of grain and grass support, from this aspect, Changlin City is not a baggage center, it must also be the only way to transport grain.
When Changlin City is attacked, who will be the first to react? Is it the capital city 800 miles away? Or the Qingshi Pass, which is less than 200 miles? The answer is the latter!
"Absolutely," Xiong Meng nodded affirmatively.
"Go to Wizard Ji and ask him to bring Brother Xiong Meng and two native witches, and go into the mountains to find out this road," Meng Yun received an affirmative reply, and immediately instructed Ji He, "In addition, if you find any places on this path that are not easy to pass, it will be widened and renovated, it is not too spacious, and it can allow a single person to pass in one direction!"
"You tell him that I will give him five days, and when the matter is completed, let the two wizards protect Brother Xiong Meng and stay in Wild Fox Ridge, and I will rush over soon. ”
"Didn't you let him stay in the wizard's tower and not stay away?" Ji He reminded.
"You let him rest assured, I have other arrangements for the Wizard Tower," Meng Yun raised his hand and patted his head, almost forgetting about it, after Ji left, he had to arrange for Qingyi to sit in the past, Wuqu was not in the Wizard Tower, but the spirit body of the wizard was still there, and it was necessary to prevent the wizard of the White Wolf Clan from finding no one, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry to wreak havoc.
"Yes," Ji He clenched his fists and bowed.
"Brother Yun, oh No, General Yun, can I stay and fight side by side with you?" Xiong Meng asked again.
"Haha, of course you can, you have made a great contribution," Meng Yun said with a smile and said to Ji He, "Give Brother Xiong Meng a third-level knighthood, and arrange him and his friends under Zhao Han's tent! ”
"Yes"
"Yes, thank you General Yun"
