Final Chapter. 57. Press down the gourd
This old man did not suffer any fatal illness, but he was too old to stay up all night; Moreover, everyone present last night was either Lang Zhong or a witch doctor, and the rescue was even more immortal across the sea, each showing their magical powers! Don't say that he just committed an ordinary geriatric disease, as long as the name is not in the book of life and death, then these apricot forests have a way to hang his old life back!
Lao Langzhong was rescued, but for the matter of Shen Gui falling into a coma, the shaman witch doctor and Lang Zhong reached a unanimous conclusion: Shen Gui did not suffer any signs of internal injuries, and should have just fallen asleep; As for when he will wake up...... If you are not sick or injured, it has nothing to do with the doctor, let it be fate......
I have to say that Sun Baishu is reliable for his own family! Before Sun Erye left, he left Li Le'an a piece of home remedies, with three vigorous and powerful characters on it: put the whip on it......
In vain!
After this group of waste snacks went home to sleep, the eastern sky gradually turned white; Li Le'an, who had a sulky stomach, beat his spirits and wanted to continue to study the reasons that caused Shen Gui to fall unconscious, but he couldn't help but feel sleepy and continued to attack......
In the dream, she only felt that she had walked in front of a medicine cabinet, and the medicinal herbs hidden in the box also jumped to the ground like elves, jumping up and down in front of her eyes and combining them at will...... In a trance, a mysterious combination that she had never imagined fell into view, and under a burst of ecstasy, she also woke her up from her sleep!
Before falling into a coma, Li Le'an knelt on the foot pedal on the edge of the bed, leaned on the edge of the bed with his right elbow, and supported his chin with his palm; Now that he was awakened by the "Ancestral Master's Dream Transmission Art", he immediately planned to take the pen and ink and write down the whimsical elixir! But she ignored a very important prerequisite: her right arm was numb, and she couldn't shake it at all......
As soon as the action was violent, Li Le'an, whose body lost its center of gravity, gave Shen Gui, who was immersed in endless emotion, a powerful headbutt!
Fortunately, Shen Gui's right hand was covering his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound, so as to avoid the fate of the two front teeth being knocked off by the head hammer; However, the bridge of his nose is obviously not as lucky as his front teeth......
Bang!
After a crisp sound, Li Le'an quickly came to his senses! She readjusted her body and looked at the bed, but Shen Gui was already in tears and her nose was bleeding......
However, with this accident as a cover, Shen Gui also avoided the embarrassment of being found out in tears and sadness. And the "frolicking" between the two also successfully woke up Yan Shuqing, who was sleeping at the desk......
Although Shen Gui was in a coma for three days, Huayu Continent will not calm down because of this, and no hero or hero in this earthly world is missing, and they are all the same!
The invaders of Zhongshan Road, the Shenshi tribe, finally completely cleaned up and repaired the rear grain road, and continued to embark on the journey south. Sure enough, Guo Xing, who was in charge of the army, did not choose to turn westward and go straight to Fengjing, a country in the north; did not choose to cross the river with the whole army and attack the Great Wilderness City, the capital of Dongyou; He personally commanded and solved his worries, and after repairing the baggage road, he slowly marched towards Buyeo City along the bank of the Mingtong River, stepping on the border line of Zhongshan Road and Dongyou Road.
The strategy of the Shenshi tribe's march is completely different from the ordinary tactics. Just from the fact that their pre-war preparations have been extremely thorough, it can be seen that today's Mobei Army can no longer be regarded as horse bandits! The Shenshi tribe's plan to invade the south this time must have been put on the agenda for a long time, and whether it is to retreat or seek peace in the three roads of Youbei, it will not help at all.
Secondly, although the army of the Shenshi tribe, except for the baggage and infantry armies, it looks no different from before! They still chose the route of the march, still chasing pigs in the small alleys, and the army went straight all the way, rough as two groups of ruffians fighting a bad fight. But Mobei's current commander of the army, but Guo Xing, the former young marquis of the Northern Yan Dynasty, can be called a young talent with both civil and military skills and family education; Obviously, with such a strong reinforcement to help, they still chose an "antique" strategy to march into the army, presumably with the intention of paralyzing the defenders of Youbei and deliberately underestimating the enemy.
In the end, they did not choose the horse bandit tactics commonly used by the Mobei people, but imitated the Central Plains army, attacking cities and villages along the way, and slowly marching towards the target according to the map. They were extremely cautious in their trip, opening roads and building bridges in the mountains and rivers, and the two armies also echoed closely; And it also took extra effort to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the grain road in the rear, and even burned the enemy city that he had abandoned. Although this move is inevitably suspected of attacking the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings; But for the Shenshi Army, which has a clear advantage in strength and combat power, this is also a cautious and impeccable entry strategy.
Indeed, the Shenshi Army chose to camp in the wilderness, which was quite a bit of a waste of labor and money, and dragged down the trip; And no matter how strong and stable the temporary walled city is, it is definitely not as good as the stone city wall of Taining County, right? But even if they are so "big", Ding Shuo, the general of Taining, still can't find the slightest opportunity to be opportunistic.
Whenever the two armies are at war, if they want to defeat the strong with the weak, they will inevitably have to play some small tricks. The most vicious and common means must be to cut off the grain route and burn the baggage. No matter from which point of view, the stability of the grain route can definitely affect the morale of the officers and men of the whole army; In the first few defeats, thousands of eight hundred people were killed, and the destruction of a few battalions was not a major event at all; As long as there is food in your own army, in the current years of war and chaos, isn't there as much as the supply of soldiers?
However, although this plan was good, Ding Shuo was unable to carry it out. Because now along the grain road of the Shenshi tribe, he has arranged heavy guards by him. There are also those rangers who can't help in siege warfare, and they patrol along the grain road all day long. If under such a defensive force, he still intends to sneak attack the grain route of the Shenshi tribe, then he Ding Shuo can only send his own ace cavalry to enter the hinterland of the enemy territory for a long time, and fight with the Mobei cavalry in front of the gong and the drum on the opposite side; Because in addition, no matter how elite the troops, when they encountered groups of scattered Mobei rangers in the wild, they could only be torn to pieces by people by flying kites
If you can't cut off the grain, what if you rob the camp at night?
Although the infantry troops of the Huashen Sect are all crazy people who do not hesitate to die, their combat effectiveness is really average, and their military literacy is even lower than that of the eighteenth layer of hell; With guards like them in charge of guarding the camp, Ding Shuo wanted to send people to penetrate the enemy camp at night, but it was not very difficult.
However, in addition to the war horse under the crotch, the Mobei people also have another extremely important companion - the dog.
Most of these dogs that went out with the army were herding dogs and hunting dogs collected from Mobei itself. Mobei dog is not only full of strength, good endurance and adaptability, but also has a human nature under the domestication of herdsmen; As for the matter of taking care of the home at night, of course, it is not a problem! Whether it's better than smell or night vision, dogs are far more sensitive than humans! It can be expected that the team that went to rob the camp was far away from Bazhang, and the cavalry of the Shenshi tribe was already bowed, unsheathed, and riding on war horses, waiting for their own side to throw themselves into the net!
To put it bluntly, Guo Xing was so cautious and cautious, and even did not hesitate to violate the wise saying "soldiers are noble and fast", and he also wanted to delay the speed of the army, just to pass a steady and steady march strategy, not to show any flaws, and force the Youbei army to confront him head-on. As Shen Gui said, when the troops, equipment, food, grass, and ordnance are all superior, there is no need to think about those messy things; As long as you blindfold your ears and charge through with the army, you will win! Too smart minds can sometimes become a drag.
Regarding this point, Guo Xing has been remembered in his heart and firmly engraved in his bone marrow.
Throughout the ages, when a large army was mobilized to conquer an enemy country, it would wait until after the autumn harvest to raise troops. Because at that time, the new grain harvest in the autumn had just fallen, the preparations were very sufficient, and the meteorological conditions tended to be stable, which was convenient for stockpiling supplies and long-distance marches; However, Guo Xing chose to raise troops in early spring, which seemed to be contrary to the common sense of soldiers, but in fact, he also had his own considerations.
First of all, the current Shenshi tribe, because of the towering tree of listening to the truth, so there is a problem about the grain and grass in the army, which is something that these poor ghosts don't need to worry about; Secondly, the climate of Youbei Sanlu is very extreme, the ice period is more than half a year, at least in late autumn to early spring for a long time, affected by the climatic conditions, it is impossible to camp in the wild. Because he entered the northern part of the country this time, he had a lot of plans in mind, and he didn't plan to loot and turn around and run, so he chose early spring as the time to march. At least in Shen Gui's eyes, this is indeed a very smart choice.
However, at present, Guo Xing is also facing a grim choice.
Two days ago, the Shenshi army settled near a small village called Wangjiadian. But because the main business of the Mobei sentinel is herdsmen, and the sideline is horse bandits, Guo Xing feels terrible about the work of the sentinel in the army. Seeing that the journey from Taining County to Fuyu City had already reached more than half of the journey, he suddenly learned a terrifying fact that seemed inconspicuous, but in fact was fatal!
The six rangers who served as the outposts of the army gave him daily reports on the terrain and enemy situation were simply made up by the six of them! The news of the enemy situation and terrain is the basis for formulating the next strategy, and the results are all fake! In other words, he and his 200,000 troops have been blind for a long time!
So what did these six sentry riders do who fabricated military information? In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess, the preferences of rough people in the world are usually very simple, nothing more than aggressiveness, lust, and good wine! Considering that this time the army went deep into the enemy's territory in order to fight desperately with the enemy, it was obvious that they would not voluntarily work overtime and fight with others; Considering that these six cavalrymen are the old brothers of Chaolu, and all of them are slaves, the answer is about to come out......
From Taining to Fuyu, although there are no fortified cities along the way, there are still scattered villages and towns; These six uncles must have gone to the local people's homes to "drink flower wine"!
If it weren't for a "fresh widower" in Wangjiadian, who came to his barracks with a kitchen knife and kept saying that he wanted to avenge his own lady, maybe when would this matter be hidden!
