Chapter 2168: News from Cochin
From Jiaozhi to the Zhurong people's settlement, it takes a few days to get rid of it.
When the news reached Zhu Rong, it was already a few days later.
Zhu Rong, who got the news, only invited Jiang Wei to the cave to negotiate.
Cao Shuo specially asked the person who sent the news to tell Zhu Rong that he could only tell Jiang Wei about this matter alone.
So in Zhurong's cave mansion, she only invited Jiang Wei alone.
"The husband has sent a message." The barbarian servants who signaled to serve all retreated, and Zhu Rong said to Jiang Wei: "Dong Dana and Meng Wei each led a group of men and horses into the two mountains not far from here. ”
"Did the lord say which two mountains he stationed in?" Jiang Wei frowned: "I also sent a lot of scouts, but I didn't get similar news at all." ”
"In addition to sending the news, the husband also asked someone to bring this map." Zhu Rong took out the map that Cao Shuo had people send with him.
This map is not very large, but only a partial copy of Cao Shuo's one.
The two peaks are marked on the map, which is particularly eye-catching.
Looking at the map, Jiang Wei frowned tightly and said to Zhu Rong: "These two mountains seem to be the only way for us to go on our expedition. ”
"Exactly." Zhu Rong said: "I suspect that they want to take advantage of your expedition to intercept and kill in the middle of the road. ”
"I don't think so." Jiang Wei said: "They are stationed here, most likely for our artillery. ”
"Cannon?" Zhu Rong asked in surprise: "They are stationed here, what can they do with the cannon?" ”
"I'll pass through here with the warriors, and once I encounter the men and horses sent by Meng Huo, the artillery will definitely have to find a position to deploy." Jiang Wei said: "When I determine the deployment of the artillery, and then they suddenly attack from behind, how can I resist?" ”
When Jiang Wei said this, Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment: "General Jiang means ......"
"Stationed here to raid our artillery positions from behind." Jiang Wei replied: "The princess should know that although the cannon is infinitely powerful, once the enemy rushes to it, the artillery has no ability to resist at all. Although they don't know much about artillery, they should be able to think of a surprise attack from behind. ”
"What is General Jiang going to do?" Zhu Rong asked.
"If I didn't know they had men here, maybe I'd be at a loss." Jiang Wei said: "Now that I know, it is impossible for me to give them any more opportunities to get close to the artillery. ”
"I wonder what General Jiang is going to do?" Jiang Wei said very confidently, but Zhu Rong asked in disbelief.
Smiling indifferently, Jiang Wei said to Zhu Rong: "What to do, I will only know when I get to the battlefield." Now that I've said that, I'm not sure that this will be the case. ”
Jiang Wei obviously didn't intend to say his coping strategy, so Zhu Rong stopped asking: "I believe General Jiang can do it." ”
So he didn't ask, also because Zhu Rong believed that Jiang Wei said that he had a way to deal with it, and with the ability of Dong Dana and Meng Wei, it was indeed impossible to cause him any trouble.
Leaving Zhurong's cave mansion, Jiang Wei invited Huang Zhong, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan to his residence.
When the servants arrived, Huang Zhong asked, "Boyo suddenly brought us all here, is there something important happening?" ”
"The lord has sent someone." Jiang Wei said to the servants: "The news he sent, Dong Dana and Meng Wei each brought a group of men and horses, and stationed at the place where we must pass through to defeat Meng Shu. ”
The three generals glanced at each other.
Huang Zhong frowned and asked Jiang Wei, "What are they going to do?" ”
"What else can be done." Jiang Wei pursed his lips: "It's nothing more than planning to deal with our artillery." ”
"Against artillery?" Huang Zhong asked: "The artillery is protected by the soldiers when they march, and they shouldn't have any chance." ”
"That's when the march is on." Jiang Wei replied: "The two armies are facing each other, and the warriors are busy dealing with the oncoming enemy army, who will notice that two teams of men and horses suddenly came out from behind and raided our artillery position?" ”
He pointed out the key, and the three generals reacted.
They have led the troops for many years, and when they learned that the enemy army was deploying ambushes in the middle of the road, their first reaction was that the other party would stop the waist and launch an undulating attack when the army passed by.
It wasn't until Jiang Wei explained that Dong Dana and Meng Wei were trying to surprise the artillery position from behind that they figured out that for Meng Shu and his barbarians, the threat of artillery was even far greater than that of tens of thousands of barbarian warriors.
"Does Boyo have any plans?" Huang Zhong asked again.
"My plan is to ask General Huang to lead a group of men and horses to protect near the artillery position." Jiang Wei replied: "It's good that the two Xiahou generals will fight with me against the barbarians coming head-on." ”
"It's as simple as that?" Huang Zhong asked.
"It's that simple." Jiang Wei smiled slightly: "As long as we keep the artillery, it doesn't matter to us how many barbarians come from the other side." Once the cannon fires, how much morale can those barbarians have? ”
"Boyo has a point." Huang Zhong nodded in agreement.
"How many men does Boyo plan to take with him on the expedition again?" Xia Hou interjected: "Meng Shu has a lot of men and horses, and we mobilize the entire tribe, which is less than one-tenth of them. ”
"There is a huge difference in strength between the princess clan and Meng Shu, we already knew it before we came." Jiang Wei smiled slightly: "If this is not the case, why is it necessary for the lord to send us over?" As long as you instruct the princess, ask her to lead the clansmen to destroy Meng Shu. ”
"That's what Boyo said." The three generals nodded again in agreement.
Huang Zhong seemed to remember something, and said to Jiang Wei: "I want five hundred mines, I wonder if Boyo can transfer them to me?" ”
"As long as the artillery can be preserved, let alone five hundred, even if it is a thousand, I will transfer it to the general." Jiang Wei replied.
"That's a thousand." Huang Zhong was not polite, and begged for a thousand mines as Jiang Wei said.
The words were said by Jiang Wei himself, of course he couldn't return, so he had to agree.
Since Jiang Wei's last expedition against Meng won successive victories, his prestige in the Zhurong clan has long surpassed that of any cave master.
Now he ordered the warriors to no longer use the name of bringing the cave master to mobilize the warriors.
In the last expedition against Meng Shu, Jiang Wei led the warriors to loot a lot of women and supplies.
Warriors who have received women and supplies will live a nourishing life after they come back.
Those warriors who failed to follow Jiang Wei on the expedition for the first time are looking forward to the next expedition.
Seeing the benefits that the same clan got in the expedition, it is really wrong to say that it is not red-eyed and hot-eared.
After getting the news from Cao Shuo, Jiang Wei is also making specific arrangements for the next expedition.
The second time he came to the barbarian realm to conquer Meng Huo, the battle will also begin. 2k reading web
