Chapter 430: Decide to act
The messenger soldiers sent by Liu Yi tried their best to transmit the military order to the battalions as soon as possible, and the iron cavalry battalion was not far from the Nanpi camp, and the soldier who went to Xu Huang's camp to deliver the order was tired of four horses in one day, and he fainted immediately after the general's order was handed over to Gongming to explain.
Within one day, from Nanpi in the east to Liyang in the west, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Youzhou Army jointly launched the most crazy offensive since the beginning of the war, all the attacks were almost regardless of casualties, the kind of momentum that went forward and followed up shocked all the Yuan soldiers who guarded the city, fortunately, the generals who defended the city have been constantly reminding them to strengthen their vigilance, otherwise the Yuan army, which is accustomed to the confrontation, may be afraid that the city will really be lost under such an extreme change in the Youzhou army, even so, they also have great casualties, It seems that all the Youzhou soldiers have become crazy overnight, and they are simply exchanging their lives for their lives, and this kind of high-intensity blows are endless, as if they will never stop.
At this time, even Nanpi's Ju Yi was a little unbearable under the opponent's crazy offensive, Liyang Gaogan and Qinghe Gaolan were incomparable, in addition to the strong combat power of the Youzhou army itself, this confrontation also made them accumulate too much strength, and now it is not surprising that it suddenly broke out to achieve the current results. There are countless messengers in the three cities who rushed to the Bohai Sea, but the Youzhou army, which was not besieging the city, was trying its best to hunt down the soldiers who went out of the city to deliver the letter, and all the strong cities were surrounded by a large group of Liu Yijun cavalry, although they could not attack the city, but the psychological pressure on the soldiers defending the city was huge, but fortunately, there was still a small group of scouts who escaped the hunt.
Of course, these people have experienced many hardships and dangers to break out of the encirclement, and life and death are only between Russia, which has quite twists and turns, and the reason for this is also deliberately arranged by Liu Yijun, which can not completely prevent the transmission of Yuan Jun's military information but also appropriately let him leak it, the purpose is to let all the energy of Jizhou focus on the whole offensive planned by Liu Yi this time.
At the same time as this offensive was launched, Gan Ning's Flying Tiger Army had arrived at a mountain forest thirty miles away from Jigu after a full three nights of marching, Xingba cautiously stopped the pace of the whole army's action, waiting for the latest military information on the front line, and then the team of more than 10,000 people must be difficult to hide, in his heart the offensive about to launch against Jigu is to succeed in one blow, so the planning in advance is extremely important, whether as a brother or a subordinate, He believed that Liu Yi would definitely create the most favorable situation for his surprise attack.
There is a large open space next to the stream in the mountains and forests, at this time the command post of the Flying Tiger Army is located here, Gan Ning and a cadre general and Xu Shu Pang Tong are analyzing the latest military situation at hand, unlike Liu Yijun on the front line, the contact between them is completely dependent on the network of Tian'er to complete, as early as a few years ago, Guo Jia has begun to have a layout in Jizhou, and before the battle, he has become more powerful, and the power of this layout has begun to gradually manifest itself.
"Second general, the news from the brothers in the ancient city of Ji, there are a total of 10,000 defenders in the city, of which 5,000 were just transferred from elsewhere half a month ago, the guard general Chun Yuqiong was loyal to his duties at the beginning, but now he often drinks for fun, it is estimated that he is in the rear, and it is difficult for the lord's army to pose a threat to him, I am afraid he will never think that the second general's men and horses have arrived at his side. The lord in front personally led the Huwei, Beiping, Liaodong, and Suzaku battalions of tens of thousands of troops to storm Nanpi, the Xuanwu battalion and the White Tiger battalion joined forces to contain the Qinghe, and General Xu Huang also attacked Liyang without stopping, and the iron cavalry battalion of the three generals was interspersed among several fortified cities of the Yuan army, and the lord also personally ordered General Taishi to lead the cavalry of the guard battalion to pretend to cooperate with the three generals, but in fact, he would make a detour to Jigu and join the two generals. At this time, Zi Yue was standing on the open ground, and was informing Gan Ning and the generals in the battalion of the detailed military information that Tian'er had investigated.
"Did I have all the armor I had for the Red Lance?" Everyone didn't say anything for a while, silently analyzing the situation in front of them in their hearts, it can be said that everything except for the addition of five thousand defenders by Jigu is beneficial to the Flying Tiger Army, and after a while, Gan Ning first asked Zi Yue, this is related to the strategy that he and Xu Pang have been planning in their hearts, and the three of them have also discussed it many times on the road, and in the presence of Tian'er, the three of them also feel that this plan is dangerous but extremely feasible.
"Those armors can be sent to the army this evening, but during the war, Yuan Jun had a very strict control over these, and the red guns worked hard to get two hundred sets." Zi Yue replied, Gan Ning has repeatedly explained this matter, he and the red gun dare not slack off, it is not easy for ordinary people to get the clothes and armor in the army, but since ancient times, there is also a saying that money can communicate with the gods, coupled with the network of relationships that Tianer has woven in Jizhou for several years, the red gun did his best to complete the task that Gan Ning explained.
With the armor of the Yuan army, the surprise attack strategy is about to come out, that is, to pretend to be the Jizhou army to transport grain to open the city gate, and then the Flying Tiger Army can launch a surprise attack with the whole army, this plan was first proposed by Pang Tong, and immediately got Gan Ning's approval, these two people are surprised to take risks, and their views on many wars coincide! The same strategy was used to successfully take the source city in the battle of the state, and now Gan Ning also wants to draw a gourd in the same way, if this plan becomes the biggest advantage is that it can greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, this alone is enough to make the Xingba army make dangerous moves, as a lone army, how to save themselves is always the biggest problem, even if Chun Yuqiong is incompetent, the ancient city of Ji is not strong, but the forced siege of the city is almost inevitable casualties, and the latest military information The defenders in the city are not the original five thousand, but doubled.
There is still a big difference between the situation of Jigu today and the source city of that day, Zhang He doesn't have to worry about the problem of armor at all, and the soldiers of the state and Lu Bu are not familiar with each other, Gan Ning wants to take advantage of the fact that this place is in the rear, and no one knows about it, so Yuan Jun is negligent and he has a great chance of opening the city gate, and all this is also based on the help of such a team as Tian'er, otherwise it will be difficult to let him Gan Ning Pang Tong have great ability.
However, compared to Zhang He that day, the risk of Gan Ning's plan is also several times greater, the terrain near Jigu is open, even if the Flying Tiger soldiers can't get too close at night, so even if Xingba successfully enters the city, he still needs to wait for a period of time before the whole army can kill, and during this period of time, his two hundred soldiers have to firmly guard the city gate, you can imagine what kind of pressure they will face, one carelessness is the misfortune of defeat and death, needless to say.
Originally, in the design of Pang Tong and Gan Ning, it was intended to sneak into the city and stay until late at night before starting, but transporting grain into the city is necessary to exchange bamboo talismans, which is a token in Yuan Shao's army, and it is especially severe at the time of the war, even if it is impossible to get the ability of Tian'er, although it can be imitated, but if it is discovered by the enemy army after entering the city, it will be a dead end.
"Okay, tonight, before a certain time, he personally led two hundred brothers to this city to transport grain, Xuan Lang Yuanzhi and the two of you arranged for the whole battalion of soldiers to sneak into the place of Jigu Sanli, and must not let the soldiers defending the city find out the whereabouts of our army, and when I open the city gate, I will use the sound of arrows as a signal, and you must rush up to me as quickly as possible. After listening to Ziyue's answer, Gan Ning immediately issued a military order without hesitation.
"Second general, although this plan is subtle, but it is too dangerous, the safety of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army depends on the body of the second general, or let Xuan Lang go for the general, and swear to guard the city gate to the death." Xuan Lang had a look of hesitation on his face when he heard this, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Second general, what Captain Xuan said is extremely true, I hope the general will think twice." Xu Shu also said.
"Hehe, the soldier is treacherous, how can a certain Mr. Shiyuan not go all out in his clever plan, I want to go to the cliff with my eldest brother to break the water pass when I was begging Dong, and the danger is ten times higher than now, and Gan is here, two hundred brothers can exert the greatest combat power, even if this plan is not successful, I have the confidence to protect myself and retreat, the two of them also know, there is no need to worry, this is a military order." Gan Ning smiled slightly and said confidently.
"No!" As soon as Gan Ning's words came out, Xu Shu Xuanlang and the two had to take orders, in addition to the military orders like a mountain, Xingba's words are also reasonable, Gan Ning is a soldier in the Flying Tiger Army, and two hundred soldiers led by him can exert their maximum combat power, and it may be difficult to support the army if they change others.
