Chapter 643: Raid under the defense

At dawn, a round of red sun jumped out of the horizon in a covert way, and the morning glow reflected the earth.

Hechi County.

The great battle that came by surprise is over.

Although Mu Jing wanted to take the city with the slightest casualties, the Xiliang army was always the Xiliang army, and it was extremely brave, even if it took the lead and killed them in their sleep, they still encountered a fierce counterattack.

A big battle, although annihilated all the defenders in the city, but also caused a lot of damage to the war tiger battalion.

"My lord, the county commander of Hechi led a county soldier to escape from the city from the west!"

Scout Reports.

"It seems that the time of this battle was not seized, so in the end, I failed to succeed in one blow!" Mu Jing sighed, he was short of soldiers and horses, and the siege of this city naturally did not spread the news, this was something he had prepared before, but he was still a little unhappy.

"Lord, I will lead my troops to chase them, and I will definitely be able to kill them on the way to report the news!" Battalion Sima Han Xian surrendered his hand and asked for his life: "Never let the news of this battle leak out!" ”

"There's no need for that!"

Mu Jing shook his head.

When he began to give orders to attack Hechi, the whole strategy of attacking and defending had already begun, and after he conquered Hechi, he knew that he would definitely not be able to hide the news, even if he could control the whole city, the news would leak.

It's too close to the next debate.

"Lord, if they are asked to report the news, they will definitely be alarmed!" Lei Hu also wanted to pursue, this battle was not very smooth, he had a manic fire in his heart, and he wanted to vent it.

"It's inevitable to be alarmed!" Mu Jing said softly: "At this time, do more mistakes, be cautious, there can be no move to divide the troops, only by gathering all the troops can we fight a victorious battle!" ”

After all, the next debate is Zhang Ji's lair.

The elite soldiers stationed here in Xiliang are elite, and the slightest carelessness will inevitably lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Mu Jing glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "First clean up the battlefield with all your might, then take a rest, count the casualties and battle damage, and then replenish logistics and food on the spot, in this process, you only have three hours, before noon, we have to pull out the camp!" ”

Soldiers are fast.

He wanted speed.

Even if Xia Wei knew that the river pool had fallen, I am afraid he would not have expected him to rush to Xia Wei so quickly, which was a surprise.

"No!"

Lei Hu and Han Xian took the order and left.

…………

Lower Debate City.

The main force of the Xiliang Army went out to fight, and the general who stayed behind was Lei Xu, Lei Xu was one of the few generals under Zhang Ji who could take charge alone, and the deep trust of Zhang Xiuzhi was the captain of the Wudu Taishou Mansion, holding three thousand elites in his hands, guarding the entire Wudu.

When Lei Xu received the news from Hechi, it was already noon.

"Captain, something is wrong, Hechi has been captured by unknown forces!"

"What?"

In the lobby, his narrow eyes widened, staring at Hechi County Ling Feng Jin: "Feng Jin, what you said is the truth?" ”

"General Lei, subordinates don't dare to lie!"

Feng Jin escaped in embarrassment, the hairpin fell, some of the cloaks were scattered, kneeling down, and said with a slight wry smile: "In the early morning of tonight, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin attacked our river pool, their attack was unusually fierce, less than half an hour has broken through the city, and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers guarding the river pool were all wiped out, although the soldiers of our county also fought hard, but the strength was not as good, and there were only a few left after the abnormality of the war. ”

"What about Jiang Tong?"

Lei Xu asked loudly.

Jiang Tong is a military marquis under his command, leading a song of 500 soldiers to guard the river pool, since the river pool is lost, then Jiang Tong is afraid that there will be more than one luck.

"I'm afraid I've been killed!" Feng Jin said: "When our county soldiers entered the battlefield, the city wall had been breached, and the Xiliang soldiers basically did not escape, and the whole army was wiped out!" ”

"Damn it!"

Lei Xu was a little angry, and his gloomy and ice-like face exuded anger and murderous intent: "Who is it, in this martial capital, who has such the ability to capture our river pool?" ”

Among the Wudu, there are not too many bandits, after all, the home of the Xiliang Army, there is also the support of Chang'an in the north, and Zhang Ji has already run an iron bucket here.

"My subordinates don't know!"

Feng Jin himself was actually still confused, and he was suddenly attacked in the middle of the night, if he hadn't reacted quickly, didn't entangle with him, didn't say a word, and directly broke through with the county soldiers, I'm afraid he would have died in Hechi: "My subordinates only know that this group of thieves who attack our Hechi is very strong, and they have at least seven or eight thousand soldiers!" ”

He was exaggerating, in fact, he did not see the strength of the herdsmen, not even on the battlefield, so he fled for his life.

But if you don't exaggerate, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy today.

"And their purpose must not be the river pool, the river pool is just a small city, if there is any importance, there is only one possibility, to defend the safety of the east, now the river pool has been lost, and the east is a flat river!"

Feng Jin's afterthought was analyzed: "Their purpose must be to argue!" ”

"Seven or eight thousand?"

When Lei Xu heard this number, he couldn't help but glance at Feng Jin with some suspicion.

Zhang Ji was airborne in Wudu, although Wudu is also Xiliang, but it is a little too far away from Xiliang, so even for the Xiliang army, the local people have some xenophobic thoughts.

So they don't trust the locals very much.

Of course, Lei Xu did not suspect Feng Jin's intentions, Zhang Ji's strength was strong, the Xiliang army was brave and good at fighting, and under the suppression, whether the local squires and wealthy families in Wudu were willing or unwilling, they would never dare to resist.

Lei Xu only discounted his words, after all, these literati and scholars all wanted to show their abilities by exaggerating.

"Last year, Lord Taishou had already asked the entire Wudu to be exterminated, and the Wudu did not have such a strong strength of thieves!"

Lei Xu did not refute Feng Jin, according to Feng Jin's statement, he only made a discount in his heart, but he thought that the strength that could capture Hechi would not be too small, he analyzed it, and his eyes suddenly burst with a cold glow: "Is it Hanzhong?" ”

"Lord Duwei, our spies are all keeping an eye on Yangping Pass, if there is any movement, it should have been reported a long time ago!"

The deputy general stood beside Lei Xu, and when he heard Lei Xu's words, he hurriedly said.

Hanzhong and Wudu are opposed.

Hanzhong will see Wudu, how can Wudu not pay attention to the movement of Yangpingguan, when they attacked Hanzhong, but because of the rout of the Heavenly Master, they could only escape in a hurry, which is a knot in the hearts of many Xiliang soldiers.

"No matter what, we must find out the news of the enemy army!"

"Yes!"

One of the generals took the command and hurried away.

"Captain, do you need to summon Lord Taishou for this matter?" Someone asked.

"Not for now!"

Lei Xu didn't want to leave an incompetent impression in Zhang Ji's heart, Zhang Ji trusted him, so he handed over the defense to him, and handed over the entire Wudu County to him to guard, and now Hechi has been captured, which is a big crime.

It is necessary to solve this force of troops before Zhang Ji leads the army back.

"Captain, what if they attack us?"

"Just in time!"

Lei Xu said coldly: "I argue that the city is thick and the walls are thick, and I have three thousand elites in my hands, I am afraid that they will not be able to succeed!" ”

"Someone!" He let out a loud shout.

"In!"

"Pass my military order, Lei Ziying Erlang from now on, immediately assemble, all parts patrol the city wall, must not relax, be vigilant about the situation inside and outside the city wall, if there is any movement, report immediately!"

"No!"

A few heralds passed the order down.

……

Just as Xia Wei was responding, the War Tiger Battalion had already completed its supply and began to continue to set off, rushing straight to Xia Wei City.

"In the case of the raid, we also lost 200 soldiers?"

In the marching map, Mu Jing sighed a little.

The battle of Hechi was indeed very smooth, but the battlefield represents life and death, and there must be death, and they also paid the price, with the elite of the Battle Tiger Battalion, the loss of 200 is already a big loss.

Every soldier in the Battle Tiger Battalion is the elite of the elite, in order to form this mountain battalion, in addition to using the former Storm Bear Army Pioneer Battalion as the foundation, all the recruited soldiers are the elite soldiers of each army.

One can imagine the combat effectiveness of this battalion.

Although the Battle Tiger Battalion is only a battalion, if it is on a mountainous battlefield, it will never be weaker than the combat effectiveness of an army.

"In the first grinding battle, many of our soldiers still couldn't cooperate tacitly, so it led to some unnecessary sacrifices!" Lei Hu rode his horse next to Mu Jing, walking side by side, and when he heard Mu Jing's words, he whispered.

The War Tiger Battalion is the first time to go to the battlefield after the establishment of the system, although they are all elites, in terms of individual strength, there are four armies under the command of the pastoral army, and none of them can compare with them.

However, marching combat is a cooperation between teams, paying attention to the tacit understanding between soldiers, and only the soldiers who can entrust their backs to their comrades can cooperate seamlessly and form a military formation with combat effectiveness.

And the soldiers of the Battle Tiger Battalion are brave, but they can't do this.

"Brother Huzi, you have to pay attention to this!" Mu Jing instructed: "The War Tiger Battalion is the most preferential battalion under the Ming Hou Mansion, and now the soldiers all say that the War Tiger Battalion is the son of the Ming Hou Mansion, and the others are concubines, your treatment is the best, and the weapons and armor are also the best, if you can't become the strongest in combat effectiveness, then you can save the shame!" ”

"Don't worry, the lord will not disappoint the lord, and will not disappoint everyone in the Minghou Mansion, my battle tiger camp must be the strongest!"

Lei Hu said confidently.

On the battlefield, he always has an unbeatable flamboyance and self-confidence, this is not reckless, but a momentum, a general trend that cannot be disobeyed on the battlefield, which is also the reason why Mu Jing is optimistic about him.

This person is born on the battlefield and can't be a commander, but he is a pioneer general, which is definitely rare.

……

During the two hours of marching of the Battle Tiger Battalion, they rushed to a place more than ten miles outside the outskirts of Xiabi City at the fastest speed.

When they arrived, the first confrontation was naturally the scouts.

The scout marquis led the scout song, went straight to the battlefield, and directly met the scout of the Xiliang army who was on the opposite side.

"Take them down, and leave none behind!"

“……”

"Block, go back and report the news!"

“……”

Between the lightning and flint, there is already a fight.

The confrontation between scouts is a rhythm point on the battlefield, and whoever can take the lead in the confrontation of scouts will be able to grasp the rhythm on the battlefield.

This is knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

The Battle Tiger Battalion marched from the beginning, then attacked, then cleaned up the battlefield, and then continued to march, there was no news along the way, and now it is also tired, so the army began to rest and rest on the spot.

After half a ring, the scout marquis had already returned, his body was bloody, and he came up to report: "Report to the lord, the soldiers of our army have killed all the scouts on the periphery, we paid the lives of twelve soldiers, and killed seventeen scouts in the Xiliang army, and none of them let them return to report the news, but the scouts between them must be silent and vigilant, I'm afraid they won't be able to hide it for long!" ”

Silent vigilance, this is the term of scout, which means that even if no one goes back to report, in this silent situation, because of the disappearance, it will also cause vigilance.

"How long can we hide it?"

Mu Jing is looking at the map.

I'm afraid that the news of Hechi has already appeared in the next debate, and he didn't expect to be able to hide his intentions, the purpose of fighting Hechi is to argue, now it's time to grab it, it's good to be prepared, just see how much they are prepared.

"Four hours is the limit!"

The scout marquis said: "All the scouts, you don't have to go back to order the news, but so many scouts have lost contact at the same time, they will inevitably guess, and then send new scouts, here and again, if they want to get the news of our arrival, it should take three or four hours!" ”

"Good!"

Mu Jing was already very satisfied, and said: "You continue to investigate, remember, it is the responsibility of Scout Qu to block all the news around us, and before we attack, our news must not be leaked!" ”

"Yes!"

The scout marquis took the order and left.

"This is the next argument, I already have a mind, Lei Hu Han Siam!"

"In!"

"Han Xian leads the main force, attack with me!"

"Yes!"

"Thunder Tiger!" Mu Jing pointed to the north side of the map, the next argument is a mountain city, standing against the mountain, so when the defensive city wall is established, the east and west city walls will be connected to the north of the mountain, the defense is very strong, if it is other main forces, maybe there is really no way to break the city, but if it is a war tiger battalion, there is a possibility: "You personally lead a thousand elite soldiers to break through from here, whether this battle can be successful, it depends on whether you can break through this cliff!" ”

The back mountain on the north side of the lower defense city, where ordinary people can't go up, but the people of the war tiger battalion have trained to climb, and climbing the mountain with bare hands is one of the training items in the war tiger camp on weekdays.

"My lord, the last general is willing to make a military order!"

Lei Hu arched his hand, and there was a touch of resoluteness on his face: "You can't break through this mountain cliff, come and see you!" ”

"I don't want your head, I want results!"

"Yes!"

Lei Hu led the army away.

"Surprise attack begins!"

After Lei Hu led the army to leave for half an hour, Mu Jing put away the map, climbed over the mountain and got on his horse, and gave an order to the front, saying, "Attack immediately!" ”

The best way to cover Thunder Tiger.

It's offense.

And it's still the way they think it's a surprise attack, it's good to succeed, it's okay to lose, his killer is always Thunder Tiger, Thunder Tiger can break through, he can win, Thunder Tiger breaks through, he can't attack.

"Yes!"

The military marquis of each ministry surrendered his orders.

In the light of the setting sun, the army began to approach the walls of the lower wall......
