Chapter 473: Victory or Defeat Is Doomed
"General Yuan, overthrow them!"
"Strive for a good start, General Yuan!"
"Brothers, wait for your good news, but you must win!"
"You are all Xuanwei Army, if you can't beat them, you can't talk about it, be careful not to be yin by them!"
..........
"Brothers, wait and see!"
Yuan Hua held the iron spear wrapped around the head of the spear, and turned around and waved to the main general of the Zhulu Forbidden Army who came to see him off.
As the dawn rose, the first team to enter the mountain to challenge the troops of the general camp set off, commanding ten teams of 500 people, leaving the camp and marching towards the mountain, their opponent was in the mountains, and their battlefield was a mountain forest within a radius of dozens of miles.
Half an hour after the Xuanwei army left, a small group of brightly armored and well-armed forbidden troops appeared at the gate of the camp with two generals.
"General Li and General Shao, the mountain road is difficult, the two generals should be careful along the way!"
Shen Jin, on behalf of the general selection battalion, sent the two judging generals out of the camp gate.
"Alright, let's go back."
General Shao looked up at the mountain peak to the east, waved his hand at Shen Jin, and went out of the camp.
"Captain Wang, the food, drink and lodging of the two generals in the mountains will be handed over to you, don't make a mistake."
"Yes! Join the army rest assured, no problems are guaranteed! ”
Shen Jin attached great importance to the logistical issue of the two generals Li and Shao entering the mountains, and specially transferred a whole team of forbidden troops plus a lieutenant from the camp of selected generals, so as to ensure that there were no mistakes and try to make the two generals' trip to the mountains as less troublesome.
The judging team quickly left the camp and disappeared from the field of view of the camp in a short time.
"Shen joins the army, do you think Yuan Hua can win?"
Pan Cheng, who was stationed in the inner camp, appeared near the camp gate at some point.
"Can he win you?"
Shen Jin asked with a smile.
"It's not easy to say, Yuan Hua still has some ability, and he also fought with the Jin people in the north in his early years, if we do it, the number of wins and losses will be five or five."
"So can you win the two teams in the mountains now?"
Pan Cheng was silent.
"If this election will meet expectations, there will be no chance in the future."
Shen Jin smiled, turned around and went back to the camp, how the remaining thirty or so troops behaved in the camp and how they trained, he had to inspect them one by one and record them, because this was also part of the final judgment.
After three hours, the team will be challenged to travel more than ten miles through the mountains.
Originally barren, not too many people on the mountain road, in the past few months due to the large number of people into the mountain, the path almost stepped into a big road, the weeds and trees on both sides of the road were also cleaned up by pedestrians coming and going, and then there were a large number of people into the mountain, if it was not deliberate, it was difficult to leave new traces.
Yuan Hua walked at the front of the team, there were spies ahead of him, after entering the mountain, there were many roads, and he chose the best one.
He told his brothers that they had only one goal, that is, to select the old nest in the mountains of the general battalion troops, to smash the opponent's nest as quickly as possible, take the opponent in one fell swoop, and if there was an obstacle on the road, do not entangle with the other party, and rush directly to it.
"General, the brothers can't walk, do you want to rest in place for two quarters of an hour?"
The lieutenant arrived from the back of the line, panting.
"Go over the hill ahead and rest again."
Yuan Hua looked at a mountain not far away, and then looked back at the somewhat tired team.
"Okay."
The lieutenant had nothing to say, so he stopped and returned to the ranks.
The mountain road marched for three hours in a row, and the physical strength of the soldiers can be imagined, even if the soldiers are very strong, they will be more or less unbearable.
However, in order to defeat the troops of the Xuanwei Army, who were also from the Xuanwei Army, the march was harder, what was the gain? The soldiers all understood.
They are also Xuanwei Army, why did the other party become the selection of generals under the direct command of the front division of the palace, and they can only be the same as other teams, as a general challenger to participate in the competition, they are not convinced, this time into the mountain, they are holding a breath in their hearts, only winning the other party, can this breath be calculated.
After another hour or so, the whole team finally climbed the top of the mountain, and almost everyone was sweating through their backs and their legs were sore and weak.
The long-awaited order to rest did not come, but the order to quickly descend the mountain came.
The Xuanwei Army is one of the few forbidden troops who have fought in recent years, whether it is marching or fighting will, compared with other teams, it will not be much worse, so the main general ordered, even if it was very tired, the whole army immediately executed the order and quickly went down the mountain.
Five miles away from Yuan Hua's department, a group of brightly armored forbidden troops were chasing after them, and the soldiers were sweating like rain, and their legs were struggling to walk, sinking more than a thousand catties.
"Someone!"
General Li was very anxious and tired at this time, he thought that it would not be too difficult to enter the mountain to judge, who knew that it was not a simple matter to catch up with the army in front, if he couldn't keep up with them, once the two sides of the challenge encountered, he was not on the battlefield, how to judge?
"In! Checkmate. ”
A forbidden military captain immediately ran back to General Li from the front of the line.
"Have you taken a fork in the road, walked for three or four hours, why haven't you seen their shadows?"
"General, we are going in the right direction, and the road is not wrong, they have not rested since they entered the mountain, and they have been on their way. There were spies who reported that they were going to climb the mountain, and it was estimated that they would take a short rest after climbing the mountain, or camp directly. ”
General Lee gasped for breath and did not stop at his feet.
"Probe!"
"Yes, General!"
The captain of the forbidden army ran forward, quickly arranged the deployment, and continued to inquire about the news ahead.
"It's not okay to be old, I haven't been on the battlefield for many years, and I can't compare with young people, let's rest, Brother Li."
General Shao's face was a little ugly, and after three or four hours of continuous mountain road, he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and if he didn't rest for a while, he was afraid that he would collapse halfway.
"What Brother Shao said is that you really can't compare your physical strength with these kids, you can't compare with you when you're old."
General Lee responded immediately.
"Rest in place for a quarter of an hour."
As soon as the order came out, the whole team quickly stopped and rested on the spot.
Immediately, a soldier handed the two generals a kettle.
"Don't talk about 20 years ago, let's just say that 10 years ago, you and I were still galloping on the battlefield, fighting, running hundreds of miles in a day, it was commonplace, but now we can't work hard."
General Li sat down on a rock, took a sip of water, and remembered the past.
"The battle that should be fought was fought ten years ago, and we don't need to work hard again in the future, compared with young people."
General Shao sat down on the side, took two sips of water, looked into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The forbidden army team in the mountains rested in place, quietly, almost no one spoke, and they all wanted to seize the time to recover their strength, because they didn't know how long the road was ahead.
This elite forbidden army from Lin'an, although the daily training is very tight, but when it comes to marching, it is not their strength, especially in the mountains, it is rare to be able to keep up with the challenge team in front.
Speaking of marching ability, it is naturally stronger than the forbidden army in front, but they carried a lot of logistics materials on this trip, and the physical wear and tear was not small, and the state of the forced march for three or four hours was not much better than that of the elite forbidden army.
After a brief quarter of an hour's rest, the squad continued to set off to catch up with the challengers.
After a long walk, the sun was setting in the west, and it was getting late.
In the middle of the line, a captain suddenly came to report the military situation.
"General, the spies are coming to report, the two armies in front have been fighting!"
"Where is the fighting? How far is it from here? Is it a temptation or a decisive battle? ”
Hearing this news, General Li and General Shao were shocked at the same time, they were one step late, and they were not on the battlefield when the actual battle took place.
"There are a large number of people, and it is a decisive battle between the two armies with the main force, and it is in the valley on the other side of the mountain, less than three miles away."
"Hurry, hurry! Speed up the march! ”
At the sound of an order, the two generals, Li and Shao, immediately quickened their pace, bent down, and marched quickly.
Since you are in the valley at the bottom of the mountain, once you go up the mountain, you can see the battlefield with your own eyes and observe the performance of the opposing sides.
The two generals ascended the ridge two quarters of an hour later, and a gust of wind came, and it was slightly cool.
There were many people under the mountain, but there was almost no sound.
Hurry up and hurry, it's still a step too late, and the actual battle is over.
Li and Shao were both battle-hardened generals, and when they glanced down the mountain, they could see that the battle was over, and as for who won and who lost, they couldn't see it clearly.
"Brother Li, go down the mountain and take a look?"
General Shao sweated on his forehead, gasped for breath, looked down the mountain, and hesitated.
General Li looked at the valley, he couldn't make up his mind, the battle was over, they couldn't catch up, although the mountain under his feet was not very high, but it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, besides, it wouldn't take long to come up after going down, and he had to walk a lot to come back and go.
"Let's see, we'll have to determine the outcome of the match."
General Li gritted his teeth, he still had to go, if he challenged them in the first actual battle, he wouldn't show up, and what judgment did he have to make. Also, if they don't show up, and Master Zhang arrives, the next time they meet, they won't be able to hang their faces.
Down the mountain, in the valley.
The two armies rested separately, but one of them was concentrated in one place.
"Master Zhang, how is this battle?"
Outside the two armies, dozens of feet away, Yang Congyi and Master Zhang stood under the tree under the escort of a team of forbidden troops to discuss the success or failure of this actual battle.
"The selection of the general's battalion troops is good, the ambush site chosen is very good, no matter whether the other party is marching in a hurry or slowly, crossing that mountain, he will definitely get water in this river valley. As long as they stay here, they will definitely be ambushed. In terms of strategy, the selection of generals is superior, and there is no doubt that they won this battle. ”
"But from the point of view of the will to fight, the side that came to challenge is worth saying, the other side waited for work, took them by surprise while they were camping, and took them by surprise, although they faced a desperate situation and had no chance of winning, they still did not give up resistance until the whole army was annihilated. The strong will to fight is admirable. ”
Master Zhang said that he had won and lost, and he did not forget to express his appreciation for Xuanwei Army.
