The guards on the side were a little surprised by Wang Ying's violent murder, and couldn't help but ask, "Wang Shoubei, what is this?" ”

"Fake information, on the order of Uncle Jing Yuan, killed," Wang Ying shook his head lightly, and then ordered: "Find someone to drag it down and deal with it." ”

"Yes." The guard nodded in response. This false information is a big deal, especially at the moment when the war is stalemate. But what puzzled him was that judging from the way Uncle Jing Yuan got up in the middle of the night and left the military tent, it really looked like he had received an important military situation...

Although Jiang Yuyan didn't know what happened here, in fact, he had expected that his identity would not be exposed, if it weren't for Duo Zi'an's extremely talented language, there was a high probability that there would be no risk of even a little exposure.

Not to mention his name, it is not mentioned in the simplified Chinese books used for literacy at the Xuanjing Academy, and it does not belong to the scope of literacy. That is, the absolute minority of Duo Zi'an will find the words located in the corner, even if they know these two words, it is not so easy to remember clearly.

In addition, he didn't expect that the person in charge of delivering the letter would confess all without reservation as soon as he was interrogated like Duo Zi'an, and for his temporary safety, he used all his strength in almost the shortest possible time.

What happened when Duo Zi'an was interrogated was almost the most extreme situation that Jiang Yugang expected could possibly, but he also failed in the end, and Jiang Yugang's identity was not revealed.

And with the death of Duo Zi'an, the secret of false information was also completely buried, and the black cauldron also pointed to Bai Qianfan by default.

When Zhang Rui arrived, the sky was already white, and the preparation of the army ready to leave had entered the final stage, and the barbarian temple village had entered the hustle and bustle earlier than before, and this hustle and bustle was an orderly hustle and bustle.

The guards along the way still abide by the rules, and investigate the tokens taken out by Zhang Rui's personal guards one by one, although there are many people on the road, but on the whole, they still did not encounter too many difficulties in coming to the Chinese military tent.

Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji was dressed in pale gold decorations, dark cyan armor, holding a long sword, standing firmly surrounded by guards and several generals.

After Zhang Rui took a few looks, he found that Wang Ying beside Wang Ji was also wearing armor, and when he saw him coming, he immediately made a gesture and signaled not to delay.

Zhang Rui hurriedly stepped forward, and a personal guard next to him chased after him, and Zhang Rui knelt down one step and a half first, presenting the information sent by Meng Yangcheng before.

Wang Ji's eyes also turned over, and the first thing he noticed was intelligence. Zhang Rui also saluted and greeted Wang Ji: "The last general, Zhang Rui, meet Uncle Jing Yuan." ”

"Thanks, did you bring the intelligence?" Wang Ji nodded, looking at the several pieces of paper that had been rolled up and were all wrinkled.

"Back to Jingyuanbo, I have brought all the information I received two days ago, and sent it to Bai Qianfan, the garrison of Mengyang City, and the recorded things are the deployment and mobilization of the Luchuan army in the Mengyang area, and the second is to request rescue." Zhang Rui picked up the intelligence letter from the hands of the guards and handed it to Uncle Jing Yuan in person.

Wang Ji picked up one of them at random, and then his eyes were fixed, and the map of the area around Mengyangcheng was drawn on the letterhead, which was consistent with the information he had just received.

He stared closely at the contents of the map, and when he looked closely, he found that the content on it was very consistent with the content on the map he had just received, and the difference was the method of the person who drew it.

The information brought by Zhang Rui is very concise in terms of drawing techniques, and every pen and ink is for practical purposes, and never more depictions; And the information I received today has more skills in the technique, and I deliberately pay attention to some painting skills.

In comparison, the pictures in the previous piece of information are like what the spies saw with their own eyes, and what they drew immediately after hearing with their own ears, all for practical purposes, while the pictures in the latter piece of information received by themselves are more like the pictures copied by the artist compared with the pictures in the previous information.

In this way, the second piece of information can be regarded as a confirmation of the first piece of information, thus proving that the information in both pieces of information is true, so the authenticity of the military deployment in the vicinity of Mengyang City in the information is more conclusive and credible.

"Take the pictures in this information and compare them with the pictures of the letters we just received, and if there are any differences, we must write them down in detail and report them to me." Wang Ji instructed a personal guard who acted as a staff member beside him, although this person had an official rank, he was not actually in charge of the soldiers, because he was familiar with military books and was responsible for all kinds of affairs by Wang Ji's side on weekdays.

"Yes, sir." The staff nodded, took the information handed by Zhang Rui, and walked towards the back of the tent.

Wang Ji exhaled lightly, combined with the news brought by Zhang Rui, he basically knew the actual situation of the matter, even if he was not completely sure, it was said that it was ninety percent, but it was less.

Mengyangcheng has not been lost, but it is already in danger, Mengyangcheng's defense line has been subjected to constant attacks by the Luchuan army for several months, and at present, I don't know if there are still soldiers who can be sent to the battlefield.

For the situation of Meng Yangcheng, Wang Ji has some bottom in his heart, from the situation of the army in the area of Jiangtou City, it can be seen that 7788, 130,000 troops at the time of departure, after several months of fighting, marching and garrisoning, only more than 70,000 people can fight now, and the casualties have been more than half.

The spirit of the soldiers is not comparable to the initial state, the climate in the Luchuan area itself is humid and hot, coupled with the harsh environment, there are many jungle poisoning insects, the soldiers' physical condition is very poor, many because of the water and soil adaptation or simply because of the disease and death, as for the cause, or because of the climate, or because of poisonous insects, it is also said to be the mysterious "miasma" in the jungle, in the end no one can say clearly.

In addition to this objective natural environment, the biggest impact is the power of the Luchuan Army. The Ming army was in the Luchuan area, in fact, in a state where I was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and countless Luchuan forces lurked in countless large and small villages in the mountains and jungles.

In the initial battle, the Luchuan army, whether it was the number of soldiers or the military quality, was completely suppressed by the Ming army, which was simply vulnerable, but as the Ming army continued to enter Luchuan, the advantage of the number of troops and the military status of the soldiers were constantly declining, and even surpassed by the Luchuan army.

Before, Bai Qianfan assured himself that there were still more than 5,000 elite soldiers in Mengyangcheng, and they could guard all the defense lines in the vicinity of Mengyangcheng, but now in Wang Ji's opinion, it is impossible for Mengyangcheng to still have more than 5,000 soldiers, and the 40,000 people in the Luchuan army are likely to be more, because this is an estimate of the soldiers.

When the Ming army estimates that the Luchuan army can go into battle in battle, the soldiers who can be used in battle, that is, the so-called "soldiers", often have a lower proportion than the Ming army itself, Meng Yangcheng's intelligence analysis has 40,000 people, then the total number of the Luchuan army must exceed 100,000, and there is the possibility of more soldiers.

The equipment of the Luchuan army is generally inferior to that of the Ming army, and the rate of firearms is very low, and often one out of ten people is a unit that uses firearms, which is already a unit that uses a lot of firearms, not to mention that there are many troops of relative low importance, that is, the so-called "cannon fodder", which is used to sacrifice themselves and attract the attention of the Ming army.

In addition to firearms, the Luchuan army has very few long-distance attack methods, and only a few elite troops have the ability to have qualified archers, while the vast majority of newly recruited troops do not have many archers that can be used in battle, and they are equipped with spears, and the most common ones are hunting knives of various types, many of which have rusted and have little practical effect.

If it is equipment, the Ming army has a crushing advantage over the Luchuan army. It's a pity that the gap in manpower is too large, and the construction of the defense line fortifications around Mengyang City is too weak, many city walls and corner towers are only three or four meters high, and the Luchuan army does not even need ladders and tools such as rushing cars to attack these defense lines, and simple manpower cooperation can pose a real threat to this defense line.

Of course, there is no easy defense line near the entire Mengyang City, the original Manggu Mountain, and the later Manggu Fort of Jiang Yugang are this kind of place, but the entire Mengyang City is too big, covering an area even larger than many towns in the Central Plains.

The city of Mengyang has affected so many areas in the area of Mengyang that many places in the vicinity have to be prefixed with the name of Mengyang, or simply named after Mengyang. As a result, the burden of guarding Meng Yang was also heavy due to the large number of defensive lines.

It is also for this reason that in a place like Manggu Mountain, which is relatively easy to defend, the manpower sent by Bai Qianfan and other senior officers is very limited, and no more manpower support is allowed, which also causes Jiang Yugang to almost collapse the defense line of Manggu Mountain when he first crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, and the state of no one guarding it.

Although there are many soldiers left on the defense lines that are difficult to defend such as Bilu Village and Nanma Village, it is difficult to have a useful effect, and the defense line of Mengyang City, which is already short of manpower, is even more insufficient under the dispersion of manpower everywhere.

"Mengyang City, it hasn't been lost yet, but it's not enough to support it under the offensive of the Luchuan army." Wang Ji nodded thoughtfully, and looked into the distance again, the time had come to the dawn of June twenty-one.

Wang Ji asked one of his staff, "We will leave immediately, when can we reach Mengyang City at the earliest?" ”

"When is the fastest?" The staff was stunned for a moment, a rapid march will bring all kinds of problems, and one carelessness may cause big problems.

He thought for a while and cautiously gave an answer: "If you are the fastest, you can reach Mengyang City at dusk on the twenty-third day." ”

"Twilight of the Twenty-Three?" After Wang Ji heard this, he immediately compared the situation of the various defense lines in Mengyang City, and then shook his head: "It's too late, is there any way to speed up the march?" ”

The staff gritted their teeth with some pressure, but still gave an answer: "If you don't do repairs at night, just look for an opportunity to rest for a short time, and you can arrive at Mengyang City at dusk on the twenty-second day." ”

"Twilight of the Twenty-two..." Wang Ji also fell into deep thought, he didn't know what Meng Yangcheng's situation was, but judging from the urgency of these two consecutive requests for help, it was estimated that he would not be able to resist for long. The attack in the two main directions of Bilu Village and Nanma Village is very likely to start at the time of the morning eclipse, and it will be until dusk, can Meng Yangcheng hold on for these hours?

However, there seems to be no other way to solve the problem.

Wang Ji was pondering, and suddenly thought of another method.
