Chapter 980: Promoted to Rank
The begging stone lie gods and slaves also knew Ye Qing's intentions very well, it was nothing more than because his troops were stretched, so they had to make their positions clear and want to compete with themselves here.
But 100,000 soldiers against his tens of thousands of people are completely victorious, how could Ye Qing be so stupid, waiting for him to be killed?
But if you want to say that this is Ye Qing's suspicious strategy, the beggar Shilie gods and slaves don't believe it very much, after all, Ye Qing's current reality is that he doesn't have too many troops to resist him, only the little strength in front of him.
Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao angrily rushed into the camp tent that had just been built, and the Song people on the other side did not attack when their foothold was not stable, which made Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao completely believe that the Song people on the opposite side had already been frightened and did not dare to take the initiative to attack their Dajin Kingdom.
"I don't know how you were so scared by him that you didn't dare to move forward in the first place, is it just like now? He just stood there quietly, and he stopped you begging Shilie Divine Slave? Wanyan Zonghao looked at the begging stone martyrs in the camp tent, and made his debut with dissatisfaction.
"What does the Duke of Israel mean, how should we use troops now?" In the past few days, for some reason, the attitude towards the two of them turned out to be abnormal, no matter how angry the two of them were, the begging Shilie gods and slaves were able to face them with a smile and not be angry.
"Naturally, he immediately led his troops across the river to attack those Song people, do you still have to spend time with them? War has always been about the right time, place and people, and now as soon as my army arrives, the rain that has been falling for several days will stop immediately. At present, as long as we cross the Yellow River and defeat Ye Qing, the officials of the Hetao Three Roads will inevitably rise up and support us to regain the lost territory. Wanyan Zonghao sneered, and then waved his hand arrogantly and said.
It was as if the Song people on the other side of the Yellow River were all papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and as long as they waved their hands, those Song people would immediately disappear and become the corpses of their two princes who asked for merit and reward from the Holy Lord.
What made the begging Shilie gods and slaves despise the two of them in their hearts, and what was worried was that neither Wanyan Xiang nor Wanyan Zonghao had taken the Song people in their eyes along the way, except that they still thought that the Song people were still as weak and vulnerable as they were at the beginning, but they were extremely confident in themselves.
In the eyes of the two, the reason why the saint sent the two of them as the deputy generals of the begging stone lie gods and slaves to attack the Song Dynasty was completely to save a trace of face for the begging stone lie gods and slaves, but in fact, in the heart of the saint, what the saint appreciated more was the talent of the two of them.
Although the two of them had never led their troops to fight, their incomparably strong and blind self-confidence had always made the two of them believe that the reason why the Holy Lord asked the two of them to assist the Qishilie Gods and Slaves was completely because of their courage and talent, not to assist the Qishilie Gods and Slaves and improve the morale of the army with their clan status.
Especially in the past few days, because of the arrogant and unpopular actions of the two along the way, it has affected the morale of the army, so that some people have begun to be as optimistic as the two of them, and they don't take the Song army as one thing at all, and begin to believe that as long as the Song people encounter them, they will inevitably collapse immediately without a fight.
Although the begging Shilie gods and slaves had already equated Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao with stupid pigs in their hearts, they still had a pleasant smile on the surface, and even did not hesitate to lower their posture, and asked "sincerely": "So I don't know how we should cross the river now, so that we can not fall into the resistance of the Song army on the opposite side?" "Naturally, it was killed from the ferry, and since it was a war, how could there be such a thing as an immortal? The ferry here is the largest, the river is gentle, and it is suitable for crossing the river, otherwise, how could the Song army only defend this one ferry? Wan Yanxiang glanced at the begging stone lie gods and slaves with disdain, and then said arrogantly.
The gods and slaves of Qishilie sighed again in their hearts, but it was exactly what he hoped for, the two stupid pigs had never thought of crossing the river from the upper and lower reaches until now, and detoured back to the two wings of the Song people to attack the Song.
As if he had seen the turbid Yellow River water turn into a blood-red color, the beggar Shilie gods and slaves stroked their foreheads, with some embarrassment in their expressions, and sighed: "War naturally kills people, but now...... Since our army wants to cross the river, it must be divided into a vanguard and a Chinese army, and the general does not know what to do now, whether it is to let the two princes ....... β
After saying this, the begging stone martyrs deliberately paused, and at this time, Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao seemed to have realized something, and immediately became speechless.
Although they are stupid, they also know the preciousness of their lives, and they also know that if they become the first wave of river-crossing troops, then the possibility of death is obviously much higher than that of life, and they don't want to die immediately after they arrive here, they are here to be promoted to the king of the county, not to die.
Looking at the two who didn't speak, the Qishilie Divine Slave smiled in his heart and continued: "Since the two princes believe that the Song people are vulnerable, and we can recover the three roads of the Hetao as soon as possible, don't we have to make unnecessary temptations? β
"Naturally, there is no need to be tempted, facing the Song people who are no more than tens of thousands of people, begging Shilie gods and slaves, but don't be indecisive because of what happened last time." Wan Yanxiang said with some ill will.
Anyway, he has already made up his mind, whether it is to cross the river tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to cross the river to attack the Song Dynasty, he will not rush over in the first wave, he will wait until the Song people who cross the river fight with the army, and then it is not too late to cross the river.
Although the title of the county king makes him greedy, he also has to save his life to enjoy it, and he doesn't want to do the thing of chasing the county king.
"In that case, tomorrow I will be the forward, how about the two princesses?" The beggar god slave asked the two with a smile.
"Okay, general, don't worry, the two of us promise that as long as the adults cross the river, they will follow the river immediately." Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao glanced at each other and said in unison, and because of the volunteering of the begging stone martyrs and slaves, they were already happy.
Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao were laughing, and the begging stone lie gods and slaves who were looking at the two of them were also smiling very happily, as the begging stone lie gods and slaves were a little impatient to start deploying tomorrow's river crossing, Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao had a feeling as if they had been fooled.
As the begging stone martyrs began to patrol the camp with a group of generals and began to deploy tomorrow's river crossing, Wan Yan Xiang and Wan Yan Zonghao, who had been following, became more and more suspicious in their hearts, and they felt more and more that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
grabbed Wan Yan Zonghao's sleeve and pulled him into the tent, Wan Yan Xiang spoke: "Do you think that the begging stone martyrs of the past few days are not the same as before?" β
Wanyan Zonghao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought about it and said, "It's really a little different, especially just now, it's a little different." It made me think, the two of us ...... Isn't it for his words to provoke? β
"Verbal provocation?" Wan Yanxiang was also stunned.
"Yes, didn't you find out? Just now, the begging stone martyr god slave, after getting our consent to cross the river as the vanguard, after our palace queen, there was a hint of pride in the smile on his face that couldn't be hidden? Wanyan Zonghao thought back to the scene just now, and always felt that the begging stone martyrs had already made up their minds to be the first to cross the river to make meritorious contributions, so they would use words to block the two of them, so as not to snatch the credit from the two of them when they invited merit in front of the saint in the future.
"Is it safer to cross the river in the first wave than in the second and third waves?" Wan Yan Xiang was stunned, although he also doubted the intentions of the begging stone lie gods and slaves, but he had never thought of it as imaginative as Wan Yan Zonghao.
"Think about it, if we want to cross the river, what should we do first?" Wanyan Zonghao asked step by step: "Look at the soldiers who are busy outside the tent now, and the siege equipment such as catapults, bed crossbows, etc., which are being started, why is this?" The river here is relatively narrow and the current is gentle, so it is naturally easy to cross. Therefore, I believe that the Song people also prepared a large number of catapults, bed crossbows and other equipment to prevent us from crossing the river. So...... Think about it, if you are the first wave of river crossers, will you be intercepted by the Song people? β
"That's right, those flying stones and arrows like rafters, after they are fired from the shore, will only be fired at the beginning of the first wave of the river, the second and third waves, not to mention that whether it is a catapult or an arrow, the range is extremely long, and it will never be fired as soon as we cross the river, it must be ......." Wan Yanxiang was shocked in an instant, it turned out that the two of them had chosen a dead end for themselves!
"No wonder the beggar gods and slaves are smiling so proudly and sinisterly, no wonder his attitude towards us has changed from the past few days, it turns out that he wants to put us in the most dangerous second and third waves." Wan Yan Xiang looked at Wan Yan Zonghao with an ugly expression and said.
"The Song people are not completely without the strength to fight on the other side, so they will inevitably let the first wave of soldiers cross the river, and then cut off the third or even the fourth wave, we have an army of 100,000, even tomorrow the begging stone martyrs will send people to cross the river from two places above and below to contain the Song people, but in terms of frontal attack alone, the first wave, and even the second wave of the river-crossing army, will not face danger when crossing the river. The Song people on the other side of the river have few troops, and we also have bed crossbows and catapults to cover, as long as we cross the river safely, we can make meritorious contributions in a battle. Wanyan Zonghao had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he was very satisfied with his cleverness, if he hadn't been the first to notice the sinister intentions of the begging stone lie gods and slaves, once tomorrow came to an end, it would have been impossible for him and others to change it, and even if he couldn't get it right, he would be accused of not obeying military orders before the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and he didn't need to play the saint, he could directly deal with the two of them by military law.
"So what do you mean...... The two of us led the first wave to cross the river? Leave the second, third, and even the rest to the begging gods? Wan Yanxiang stroked his chin and thought for a while.
"This matter is not only about whether you and I can rely on this battle to be promoted to the rank of lord, but also related to the lives of the two of us, so I can't care so much, what to say is to snatch this first wave of sending to cross the river to attack the Song Dynasty, even if we can't make a contribution at that time, but as long as we save our lives, plus as the first wave of river crossers, the saint will also look at the merits and hard work, maybe I will give you and me the title of knight." Wanyan Zonghao smiled very proudly, in his opinion, this is the best of both worlds.
And to put it bluntly, in this battle, the two of them came for the title, and of course, it was Wan Yan Jing who wanted to have enough reasons to promote them to the title, so he let the two of them go to Hetao Road together.
