Wang Zhen, who wanted to command and dispatch the army into Mengyang City, turned over and dismounted, and looked up at Mengyang City in front of him before giving the order, with a complicated expression.

Hidden behind the low city wall, can Mengyang City really hold out in the face of the general attack of the Luchuan army?

As a high-ranking officer in the Mang Ancient Castle, what made Wang Zhen really uneasy was that he saw the uneasiness that flashed on Jiang Yu's face from time to time.

At the beginning, on Manggu Mountain, Jiang Yugang was just a small banner, and when dozens of them faced hundreds of troops of the Luchuan Army, Jiang Yugang did not show such an uneasy look.

"Baihu, what is your means of winning this time?" Wang Zhen asked in his heart.

······················

Among the soldiers on the city wall, some people finally realized the problem: "Why did Manggu Mountain send so many people over?" ”

"Is it defending the city?" One person guessed.

"Defending the city? We don't need them to defend the city, unless it's..." Sweat broke out on the man's forehead.

"With our ability, we can't hold this attack of the Luchuan army." The other replied.

I don't know who added leisurely: "We can't hold it with thousands of soldiers, but we can hold it with these hundreds of soldiers?" ”

This question seemed to strike into the depths of the soldier's soul, and for a time no one answered.

There was silence on the city wall, and the summer of Mengyang City was coming, but at this moment, everyone could clearly feel the chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.

·······················

The city of Mengyang is not large, but it is in the shape of a city that stretches from the northeast to the southwest, and the city is built on the basis of several bodies of water that are not enough to be called rivers but are too wide to be said to be streams.

The place where Bai Qianfan lived was a small stone building, which was considered a first-class building in Mengyang.

Because he had been here several times, Jiang Yufu was not a small person here, and Bai Qianfan's guards saw him coming, and immediately put down their spears and motioned for him to go in.

Pushing open the door, Bai Qianfan was standing on a long table, and there was a map on the table, which was a gift from Jiang Yugang, a handwriting from the Mystical Academy.

A half-grown boy from Manggu Mountain, Jiang Yugang named him Jiang Zixun, and he has a great talent for painting.

It didn't take long for me to learn how to draw with a brush, and I was able to hold the pen and draw complex shapes with very fine lines. Jiang Yugang discovered his talent in the literacy class of Xuanjing Academy, specially selected him, and after learning that he did not have a Zhongyuan name, he simply asked him to follow his surname Jiang and took the name of Jiang Zixun, which means that he can find the secrets of the world according to his brush.

Originally, the boy didn't like to be literate, but when he heard Jiang Yugang say that he could draw to his heart's content, he happily followed Jiang Yugang to the Secret Academy, and joined the Shouguan Hall as a commissioner of the Divine Palace, and specially followed the local branches to draw local maps, and finally collected all the Mengyang maps in the Divine Palace Hall and drew a general map.

After summoning other secret soldiers of the Secret Academy who had drawn the map for proofreading, they revised it according to the original general map and obtained the official version of the map of Mengyang. Under Jiang Yugang's arrangement, a total of three copies were drawn, one was handed over to the Shenjia Academy, as a military intelligence commander, and one remained in the Mystery Academy; The last one was given to Bai Qianfan as a gift.

After Bai Qianfan got the map, he privately checked it with the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance, and also discovered the preciousness of this map, so he put it on the long table in the center of his room and used it for command.

As soon as Jiang Yuran entered the door, he saw his map, and he was overjoyed, thinking that it would have a little more weight in Bai Qianfan's heart, he opened his mouth first and greeted: "Commander, Lord Commander." ”

"Oh, it's Yuran." Bai Qianfan raised his head and saw the young man who came over, this guy has been training in Manggu Mountain for a few months, and it seems that he has already achieved good results.

Originally, facing this young man who was pulled up by himself, Bai Qianfan was not unnatural, but at this time, he wiped the sweat oozing from his head with a little weakness.

This is because of a letter, which is written about the information collected by Jiang Yugang. Because this kid has incorporated a large number of local people in Mengyang for his own use, he can now be said to be the most reliable source of information for the defenders of Mengyang City.

His own maps are all from the hands of this kid's intelligence department, and the level of craftsmanship is no less than that of the master craftsmen in the capital, so let him be a hundred households, or give in.

However, this time the information was different from the past, and after describing in detail the grim situation faced by Meng Yangcheng, Jiang Yugang wrote a lot of his own words in unsightly handwriting.

Although the font is not good-looking, it can show that it is from Jiang Yu's own handwriting, Bai Qianfan attached great importance to it at first, but after reading it all, he fell into silence again.

What Jiang Yugang wrote was a suggestion to him, and given the tone between the lines and the chilling consequences mentioned, this kind of suggestion with some threatening elements could even be said to be a kind of command.

A lot is written in the letter, but it can be summed up in just one sentence: with the defenders of Mengyangcheng, they could not resist the attack of the Luchuan army, and if they could not get the support of the army, they would transfer more than 10,000 soldiers as support, and the fall of Mengyangcheng would be inevitable.

This is almost an order for Bai Qianfan to immediately ask for the support of the army.

The first moment Bai Qianfan saw Jiang Yugang's description was disappointed, disappointed that Jiang Yugang, who relied on a little force to create a miracle and control the entire Manggu Mountain Range step by step, could not create a miracle again and exert his ability to defend Mengyang City.

But this disappointment was quickly replaced by fear, Jiang Yugang was originally his last hope, and even Jiang Yugang's Manggu Mountain made it clear that he couldn't keep Meng Yang, so he really had no choice.

No matter what the outcome of this war is, he will definitely not get any reward, and the best result is to escape punishment, and Jiang Yugang let himself ask for the support of the army, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was 10,000 soldiers, so that his burden would only be heavier.

However, after suffering and thinking hard, Bai Qianfan figured out a truth: if the army does not send troops to support, then he will definitely not be able to hold Mengyang City, and it will inevitably be punished; However, if the army sends reinforcements and he succeeds in holding Mengyang City, he may not be punished when he is finally victorious.

Thinking about it this way, asking for the transfer of troops from the army has become his only way of life, but Bai Qianfan has been a commander for many years, and he has always acted cautiously, although he has always relied on the information provided by Jiang Yugang in the past, but he still has to confirm the news of the Luchuan army gathering near the Indoji Lake area as Jiang Yugang's reason for asking for help.

In case the information is fake, or Jiang Yuxuan just wants to borrow troops to make meritorious contributions in the battle, and ends up putting himself in, it will be too much to lose, and this is not the most terrible consequence.

What worries Bai Qianfan the most is that if the army sends troops to support Meng Yangcheng, it will lead to the defeat of the army on the front line, so that he who speaks for help will be charged with an inextricable crime, so he must ensure that the information is true and conclusive.

So, when Jiang Yugang repeatedly emphasized that he should report immediately, he arranged for his scouts to go to the Indoki Lake area to investigate.

After confirming the information on the gathering of the Luchuan army in the Indoki Lake area, a stone hanging in Bai Qianfan's heart finally landed, and he was finally able to send reliable henchmen to the camp to report the news.

It's just that the time of reporting the letter is one day later than Jiang Yugang's suggestion, and there has been no response yet, which is also the reason why Bai Qianfan is a little weak in front of Jiang Yugang, if he reported it immediately after receiving Jiang Yugang's information, he should have received a reply by now.

"Lord Commander, you have received my previous letter," Jiang Yuyan did not delay, and immediately asked about the most critical matter of reporting for help.

Although Bai Qianfan didn't report it immediately, he still immediately replied to Jiang Yu's letter, and he could only nod at this time: "I have read everything you said." ”

"Then what does the camp say now?" Originally, according to intelligence, June 22 was the day of the war, but at noon on June 20, he led his army into Mengyang City early.

This is still done so that if something happens to Bai Qianfan at the moment when the enemy is in the present, his subordinates will have real soldiers as confidence and the ability to correct him.

Bai Qianfan was entangled for a long time, and finally sighed: "The messenger has already gone, but the big camp... No news has come yet. ”

"What?" Jiang Yu's eyes widened, at this moment, he didn't care about the rules between statuses, and no longer restrained his emotions: "A day later, it may be when Mengyang City falls, and there is no news from the camp yet?" ”

"That's 40,000 Luchuan soldiers, and all the Luchuan families in the entire Mengyang are about to besiege Mengyang City now, but the camp still has no reaction?" Jiang Yugang asked loudly with emotion.

"This..." Bai Qianfan naturally refused to admit that he had delayed the military plane, and did not explain more, but just pretended to be helpless, and temporarily put all the responsibility on the battalion.

And just when the two were at a stalemate, a running soldier with a cloaked hair rushed in, Jiang Yu didn't know this person, but when he heard the guards at the door call him "Cheng Zongqi", he thought that he was also an officer that Bai Qianfan trusted.

After Cheng Zongqi saw Bai Qianfan, he actually knelt down directly in front of him, Jiang Yu's heart was shocked, and he secretly said that it was not good.

I saw that this person's eyes were red and said: "Commander, the battalion refuses to transfer troops to save Meng Yang!" ”

"What!" Jiang Yu only felt the soles of his feet weak for a while, but he calmed down as soon as possible, and asked in disbelief: "Have you found the key person in the camp?" This is 40,000 soldiers, can the big battalion just watch Meng Yang fall? ”

Bai Qianfan sat down on the chair in despair, unable to say a word, and his body trembled slightly.

At that time, when following the army all the way to attack Mengyang, Bai Qianfan, the commander of Qu Jingwei, never imagined that the task of garrisoning Mengyang City in the next few months would be so difficult, the elite soldiers suffered heavy losses in the harsh environment and the war of attrition with the Luchuan army, and the final result of holding on was the abandonment of the battalion.

The dignified commander of the envoy, the Ming Mengyang garrison, commanded the elite soldiers of the four guards, and at this time he actually became an outcast.

"I... I saw it! Cheng Zongqi looked quite flustered under Jiang Yu's questioning, afraid that the two of them would put the responsibility of the army's reluctance to rescue on their heads, and hurriedly explained: "As soon as the battalion guards heard that I was the commander of Qu Jingwei and the subordinate of the white garrison, they knew that the matter in Meng Yangcheng was urgent, and they were introduced all the way, and I met Zhang Rui directly. ”

"After handing the letter to General Zhang, because this matter was important and the troops needed were too many, he couldn't make a decision, so General Zhang took me to see Tian Li's right deputy commander-in-chief," Cheng Zongqi began to tell what he encountered in the camp: "After General Zhang explained the matter to Deputy General Tian, Deputy General Tian carefully read the information again, and after thinking about it again, he sternly refused!" ”
