Chapter 210: A Chilling Force
"General Gan."
When Shen Shi, the captain rushed in in a hurry, his expression was a little flustered, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and when he broke in, the captain's body almost fell to the ground without standing firmly.
"What's going on? What made you so flustered? ”
Gan Mao frowned, although he didn't know what was going on, but just from the chaotic appearance of the captain, it could be seen that something terrible must have happened outside.
The lieutenant stood firm, first breathed a sigh of relief, then recovered his breath, and then slowly opened his mouth and his eyes calmed down a little, but he could not help but see a trace of panic that still could not be dissipated from it.
"Coalition, it's here."
Gan Mao tilted his head slightly, and looked at the captain with a somewhat amused look in his eyes.
What's so strange about this matter, the remaining coalition forces themselves are going to arrive in these two days, and besides, this matter is not only known to himself, this captain should also know.
However, the captain now has this expression.
Considering that this captain was once a capable member of the Yulin Cavalry, Gan Mao couldn't help but think of some misfortunes.
"The other side is huge?"
What Gan Mao could think of now was that the number of the opposing coalition forces far exceeded the number of the Northern First Army stationed here, and it would even reach ten times the possibility, otherwise, this captain would definitely not be in such a mess.
However, I saw that Gan Mao kept shaking his head after hearing this, his eyes were light, the corners of his mouth were bitter, and he said in a rather heavy tone
"No, the number of coalition troops is estimated to be only 10,000 people."
"That's the number of tens of thousands, can you be like this?" Gan Mao's brows did not begin to relax because he said the number of coalition troops from the mouth of the captain, if the number of coalition troops was only worth 10,000 people, his 4,000 northern army would not be afraid at all, and it would be easy to suppress the coalition army by relying on the terrain.
"The momentum of this coalition force is unusual and somewhat strange."
The captain's expression darkened when he said this, he didn't know why he was a little frustrated, he looked at the momentum of those people, he had never seen this kind of momentum in any army in Nanli that made his heart chill.
"Strange? What's weird? ”
Hearing the captain say this, Gan Mao's attention was obviously raised, and his eyes looked at the captain seriously, and his expression couldn't help but become serious.
The weight of the words that came out of the mouth of the capable commander of the Yulin Riding was a little unusual, which was already worthy of Gan Mao's attention.
"The subordinates can't tell, in short, the subordinates don't know why after seeing the strength of the coalition army, they feel a little cold, the subordinates have seen a lot of legions in the country over the years, but this kind of troops, the subordinates are the first time to see it, it is because of this, the subordinates are like this." The captain couldn't help but hang his head when he said this, he knew that he was a little embarrassed when he said this, but in front of Gan Mao, he felt that it was better to tell the truth.
Because that army was the first army he had ever seen in his life.
Obviously, the soldiers of that army were only wearing rough and simple leather armor, and even their standard weapons were the technology left over from the Nanli Legion for more than a hundred years.
But even so, their strength really made the captain's heart feel that way.
"Do you feel a chill in your heart?"
Gan Mao muttered this, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This matter is really a little strange and unbelievable.
Not long after, Gan Mao raised his head and looked at the lieutenant and asked
"How far are they from here?"
Hearing Gan Mao's question, the captain's tense expression was a little relaxed, and he said quite relaxedly
"About fifty miles or so, this matter was accidentally encountered by my subordinates today with some brothers to send Lao Zhao to the front."
Gan Mao nodded slightly.
Fifty miles, there should still be some time, and if you look at it this way, it is estimated that the coalition army is also about to see some of the mountains that have been burned, and they must know about the fall of Zhao Qi now.
Next, I have to think carefully about how to deal with this group of coalition forces.
is worth 10,000 people, but in the end, it still made Gan Mao settle down a little.
Although what the captain said made Gan Mao's mind sink a little, but the number of tens of thousands of people is always easier to make Gan Mao feel at ease than the coalition of tens of thousands of people.
Bai Qi gave him Gan Mao's 4,000 Northern First Army, which is equivalent to the most elite soldiers in the Northern First Army at present, how could it be as simple as letting him Gan Mao defend the first line in Changbanpo?
"Fifty miles, it should be about the same now, pass the order, lead a thousand horsemen to follow the general to the front to see, just let the general see, let the Yulin cavalry never see what the soldiers are like."
When Gan Mao said this, his tone was a little free, as if he was ignoring all fears, and the faint smile on his face made the lieutenant feel slightly relieved after seeing it.
With Gan Mao in front, the captain also understood that he only needed to do his own job.
As for how to deal with that strange coalition army, just leave it to Gan Mao to think about.
What he should think about is how to exert his most perfect strength on the battlefield and help the main general Gan Mao win this war.
"What's fun, don't go and lead people quickly."
Gan Mao looked at the captain standing stupidly in place, and it didn't take long for him to smirk, and he couldn't help but glance at the captain, he didn't want to guess what the captain was thinking in his head, and he didn't want to guess.
It's not a good fart anyway.
"Oh, oh, my subordinates are commanded."
The lieutenant stopped the smile on his face, returned to his usual appearance, and then turned and ran briskly out of the tent.
And Gan Mao, who was still in the tent, also looked ahead, blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and whispered to himself
"Looks like he's going to be an unexpected opponent." After saying this, Gan Mao smiled freely, and then also came out of the camp.
Let's see if those guys will let you down.
After all, Zhao Qi had already let himself a little disappointed, and his original interest was also dissipated by the one-sided battle situation of not resisting.
Now as soon as he heard that something was wrong with the main force of the coalition forces here, Gan Mao's interest, which was about to disappear, was finally rekindled by this remark.
And at the same time on the other side.
Wu Qi stood in front of the hillside, and the old general was standing beside him, and the two looked at the mountains and forests in front of them that were very obvious traces of artificial burning, Wu Qi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and said softly
"What does the old general think about this?"
Although two days have passed since the outbreak of the war, and it has been almost cleaned, the old general can still keenly smell a smell of blood from the vicinity, and the old general snorted coldly and said with obvious displeasure
"What else can you think, that group of Nanli troops must be weak, otherwise how could they do this, my lord, the old man suggested that we wait to kill all the way over, presumably those Nanli troops should not be much away from here, we can take advantage of the nightfall to kill them by surprise." Listening to the words of the old general, Wu Qi smiled and said nothing, he took a long breath and then spit it out, his eyes looked at the old general, and said with interest
"The old general's analysis is good, but why did the old general ask the kid for advice? Now that you have your own conclusion, you can just do what you want. ”
Hearing Wu Qi say this, the old general coughed twice in embarrassment, then scratched his scalp quite embarrassedly, and smiled before speaking
"The adult has lifted up the old man, the old man, the old man is not afraid of fraud."
Wu Qi raised his eyebrows, his eyes shrank to look at the old general, and he said in a tone that was rare to praise and goodness
"It's the kid who underestimated the old general, I didn't think the old general would also see this." "Huh? Right. "The old general didn't react a little, what did he see?
Is there a fraud?
Indeed, the old general did think of this, but his idea was that it was a big deal to divide the Chinese army into three routes, and the front army would feint first, and if there was really a fraud, the front army could retreat.
If it weren't for the deception, the front army would have switched from a feint attack to a real attack, and with the remaining two armies to encircle it, maybe it would be possible to directly wipe out the northern army.
But what Wu Qi said obviously didn't mean that.
Is there anything else wrong with this?
The old general can't think of it for the time being.
Seeing the change in the old general's expression, Wu Qi was stunned, and then reacted quickly, smiled unknowingly, and then explained softly
"Old general, if the Nanli garrison is really weak, if they want to burn the mountains to block the pace of our army's advance, they will definitely not only cause such a little fire, as far as the fire is seen now, the kid estimates that Nanli should only send more than a hundred people, and it is absolutely impossible for this number of people to become a stumbling block on the way of our army." After listening to Wu Qi's explanation, the old general looked at the hillside in front of him again.
Indeed, this fire is too weak to do anything.
There is fraud, and this look is fraud.
However, what is hidden behind this?
The old general looked at Wu Qi with puzzled eyes, he still didn't understand this point thoroughly.
And Wu Qi also shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and said with a sigh
"The old general doesn't have to look at it like this, the kid still doesn't have a clue about this matter, but what the kid can be sure of is that there is no ambush for the garrison in the south, and the terrain in front, if they use cavalry to ambush, they will only lose their innate advantage."
Listening to Wu Qi's talk, the old general's heart was also settled.
Fortunately, the old man has a gentleman on his side.
The old man just manages the war, and this kind of brain-wielding should be left to the gentleman.
