Volume 5, Iron and Bloodless Eighteen, Ordered in Danger
"Check, send all the scouts out for me, find that cavalry for me, and the damn cold-faced army!" The painful loss made Tai Rui furious, the original loss of tens of thousands of horses made the cavalry under his command suffer a heavy blow, and now he has lost tens of thousands of war horses, not to mention, but also because there are no war horses, the cavalry has become infantry, not to mention, thousands of people have been slaughtered, seven camps, nearly 50,000 casualties of the army, and what is their result, only 200 cavalry, 200 cavalry for their 50,000 army, tens of thousands of war horses, such a proportion of war losses, no one can accept.
"Tai Rui, why are our elites in the front army, the combat power of the rear army is not high, and suddenly it was attacked by the cavalry, there is no way to have this loss, for today's plan, it is still necessary to ensure that Chen He of Wuyun City has no way to retreat! In addition, an ironclad army is dispatched to guard the rear camp, and the enemy can no longer be given the opportunity to release the horse and rear camp, and the cavalry troops must always be on alert! Sun Baosheng was a little dissatisfied with Tairui at this moment, and panicked when he encountered something, is this still the quality of the War Emperor.
"Okay, transfer 100,000 ironclad troops to garrison the rear camp!" Tai Rui nodded, that is, when the ironclad army encountered the cavalry, it was able to carry it, as long as the cavalry's charge was blocked, then the cavalry would not be so threatening.
At this moment, suddenly a soldier ran in and said, "Lord Qiqi, just now a cavalry broke through the blockade of the front camp and rushed to Wuyun City!" ”
"Bastard, what are you going to eat, one person can break through the front camp! Hurry up and chase me, if the other party dares to open the city gate, he will take the city gate for me! Tai Rui roared again, but Sun Baosheng next to him said lightly: "It's late, if it's Fang Cai, there is still a glimmer of hope, but now it's impossible!" ”
Not long ago, Hu Shouyi went to the front camp in the name of chaos and festive troops, and then came to the front in the name of exploration, then took a deep breath, patted his horse out of the camp, and ran quickly to the east gate of Wuyun City before everyone reacted.
The soldiers on the side of Taixu City were stunned for a moment, and then someone reacted, and then the army sent troops to try to intercept Hu Shouyi, but Meng He, who was far away in the city tower, also noticed this single-handed cavalry, and when he found that there were chasing soldiers behind the other party, Meng He immediately ordered the archers to shoot three arrows in a row, and after intercepting the enemy alive, Hu Shouyi ran to the city and shouted: "Who is in the city, report quickly, this general Hu Shouyi, the main general of the Fenglin camp, I want to meet the lord with important information!" ”
Lin Tiehu stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was Hu Shouyi, and immediately ordered the soldiers to put down the hanging basket, connected Hu Shouyi to the city, and then said: "General Hu, aren't you in charge of harassing the enemy outside, how can you risk rushing to the camp?" ”
"General Lin, what about the Lord, urgent information, can't be delayed!" Hu Shouyi didn't have time to chat with Meng He, so he asked in a hurry.
"The Lord is in the Tianjiao Space, and Wuyun City is now presided over by General Huo Miao, what happened?" Lin Tiehu hurriedly said.
As soon as he heard that Chen He was not there, Hu Shouyi suddenly became anxious and said: "General Lin, something is wrong, the enemy is not for Wuyun City this time, they have gone to great lengths, for the sake of the Lord, now the people of Taixu City have seen that the siege of the Lord is not down, and they have already asked for help from other cities, although General Ren's scouts intercepted a lot of enemies who asked for help, but there must be those who have slipped through the net, and they must inform the Lord as soon as possible, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time!" ”
Hearing Hu Shouyi's words, Lin Tiehu's face also changed, facing Taixu City alone, does he care, even if it is twice as many enemies, it doesn't matter, but if the surrounding enemies are coming, then it will be suffered, but at this time, how can they contact Chen He, at the moment Lin Tiehu said: "General Hu, you immediately send the news to General Huo!" ”
Afterwards, Lin Tiehu instructed the guards: "Immediately go to General Xun and invite them to General Huo, just say that I have something important to discuss with them!" ”
Not long after, not only Xun Yong and a few messengers of the god of war came, but even Mu Yong temporarily threw down his defense and rushed over, because the information brought back by Hu Shouyi was too important, if they defended Wuyun City, once the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they would immediately fall into a bitter battle.
After Xun Yong and the others learned the information, they were also a little dumbfounded, after all, it was okay to say in the face of one city, but now that they have to face many cities, their manpower seems to be a little insufficient, even if they have some strength, they will eventually hate it.
"Generals, now that the Lord is gone, what are you going to do?" After a brief explanation, Huo Mu looked at the people present and asked.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Huo Miao stabilized his mind and continued to speak: "The Lord handed over Wuyun City to me, I will make a statement first, without the Lord's order, even if I die, I will die in Wuyun City!" ”
"Leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, why can we temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, and then think of notifying the lord, let the lord stay in the Tianjiao space for the time being, and wait until the situation is controlled here, and then snatch Wuyun City back, isn't the lord safe?" After Huo Mu finished speaking, Hou Guanglian said cautiously.
After finishing speaking, Hou Guanglian found that no one accused him, but many people looked at him with a trace of contempt in their eyes, which made Hou Guanglian's face red, but this was indeed what he thought in his heart, fortunately, he finally knew one thing, he could speak, if he really dared to go his own way and form a gang to escape, he would definitely die ugly.
"What about the others, what else do you have to suggest?" Huo Mu nodded and asked again.
"Zu Cong, what do you think?" Xun Yong didn't speak, but turned his head to ask Zuo Zucong.
"Lord, at present, we have two million troops in the city, just in terms of defending the city, before the enemy reaches 20 million, the threat to us is not enough to kill, but it is not good to sit back and watch the enemy become stronger, so we can't sit still!
According to the advice of his subordinates, it will take at least ten days for all the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, and in these ten days, if they can defeat the enemy outside first, then they can form a situation of waiting for the rabbit, as long as the enemy does not arrive in one go, they can completely attack it in parts! Moreover, it is impossible for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive in large numbers, and three or five hundred thousand on one side should be the limit, and it is very promising to attack them in parts! After Zuo Zucong heard the inquiry, he opened his mouth and talked eloquently.
Huo Miao glanced at Huo Muyong, and both of them noticed a touch of surprise on each other's faces, although they knew about Zuo Zucong from Chen He, and they were known as handsome people whose command ability was still above them, and now after seeing the real person, they knew that what the lord said was true.
"King Xun Zhan, I want to hand over the task of defeating the enemy outside to Brother Zuo, what do you think?" After Huo Miao retracted his gaze, he looked directly at Xun Yong and asked.
Xun Yong sighed, this is really gold can shine anywhere, Zuo Zucong's aura opened, and at the same time said: "Zu Cong, the task of the deputy general, can you be confident that you can complete it?" ”
Zuo Zucong also probably understood the status of everyone at this meeting, or rather, there is no absolute commander here, Huo Miao is the commander of the First Legion, the temporary city lord, Mu Yong is the commander of the Second Legion, and the rest of the people are all staff, even if he is a subordinate of Xun Yong, no one here will look down on them because of this, and immediately said: "Adjutant General, if the army dispatch is released to me, I can try!" ”
"General Zuo, you can rest assured that once you take over this task, everyone will obey your dispatch, but after taking over the task, it is not as simple as trying it, but it must be completed! Don't tell me that there is no such thing as an absolute, we only believe in our own abilities! So, General Zuo, can you do the task of repelling the enemy outside? Huo Miao looked at Zuo Zucong and said very seriously.
Zuo Zucong looked at Huo Miao and had a very strange feeling, or rather, all the generals under Chen He gave him a very strange feeling, it was an inexplicable self-confidence, self-confidence to a sick look, but he liked this feeling very much.
There are many people who have asked Zuo Zucong a question, why did he choose to choose and choose, and chose Xun Yong as the main person, who obviously has the ability to be stronger than Xun Yong, but Zuo Zucong has never answered anyone this question, because the answer to this question is that Xun Yong is the only one who is obviously a little inferior, but he dares to recruit him, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he gave him absolute autonomy, so he chose Xun Yong, because he wanted to prove himself, and in the end he succeeded, and Xun Yong became one of the eight legends, the king.
And now, Huo Mu just told him that as long as he took this task, then around this task, he had the power to command anyone, and of course, the requirements were also very demanding, that is, the predetermined goal must be achieved.
Repelling millions of besieging enemies outside, is this task difficult, Zuo Zucong doesn't think it's too difficult, his only concern is that someone doesn't obey the command, but now Huo Miao's words made him a little enthusiastic for a while, he once thought about when he would be able to command a million troops, and now all of a sudden, his goal has been achieved, so after taking a deep breath, Zuo Zucong asked in a deep voice: "Adjutant General, are you sure it's everyone, including you and the commander of the Second Legion, as well as all the God of War envoys here?" ”
Huo Miao looked at Zuo Zucong with an indifferent expression, Huo Miao was Chen He's designated deputy general, and when Chen He was away, all decisions Huo Miao could make a word.
He nodded immediately, then looked at Zuo Zucong and said: "General Zuo, you also heard what I just said, the meaning of everyone is what you understand, not only me, but also the cavalry, scouts, and Fenglin battalions outside, as long as you need it, they will obey the command!" As for the few God of War messengers..."
"General Zuo has an order, and we resolutely obey!" Without waiting for Huo Miao to finish speaking, Shen Ming made a statement on behalf of the others!
"Okay, then General Huo, I took over this task Zuo Zucong, five days! In five days, I will definitely repel the army of Terry City! Zuo Zucong took a step forward and said proudly.
Looking at Zuo Zucong's pride, Xun Yong smiled, I haven't seen Zuo Zucong so proud for a long time, and when Zuo Zucong shows such a side, it must be when he does his best, and as the lord of Zuo Zucong, he also knows that Zuo Zucong has always wanted, that is, to command a million soldiers, although he failed to let Zuo Zucong command a million troops, but he followed the right person, Zuo Zucong's wish also came true.
