Chapter 282: The Death of a Famous General (1)

"Huhuhu~"

At sunset, the bleak autumn wind whistling through the dense forests made a bit of sadness to the whole earth.

Wang Ben, dressed in armor, stood on the road in the middle of the mountain, looking at a huge grassland cavalry below that was gathering towards the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Major General, it seems that the enemy's battalion has increased again"

Behind Wang Ben, Zhong Ion, who had been standing aside, looked at the steady stream of grassland cavalry that was coming, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to Wang Ben.

"It's not that their reinforcements are coming, but that the sweep of Le and Gong has basically ended, and the cavalry sent will naturally return" Wang Ben shook his head and said in a faint voice.

In the cavalry cluster that arrived just now, Wang Ben faintly saw the figures of the Eight Banners cavalry and the Yao Changqiang cavalry, and mobilizing them all here means that all parts of the two states have been basically pacified.

"How long is the grain and grass in the mountains enough to sustain it?"

Quietly staring at the Huaguo camp with the tent like a cloud, Wang Ben was silent for a while and then asked again.

"Back to the young general, the armies have already sent people to search in the mountains, and they have not found much, and the daily distribution of food can be reduced by 3 layers to support 10 days," Zhong Ion said astringently when he heard this.

"There is no need to reduce it, the order will go down, all the soldiers will eat and supply enough food tonight, rest for two hours after the meal, and then the whole army will go down the mountain and break through to the south" Wang Ben waved his hand and ordered after listening.

"Major General, the messenger we sent for help has been set off for nearly 10 days, and must have arrived in Jianzhou to report to the general, the reinforcements may be on the way at this time, and according to the scouts below, the Chinese army gathered around the West Mountain has reached 300,000 people, and I am afraid that it will not be able to break through with the strength and state of our army."

Zhong Ion was anxious when he heard this, and immediately spoke out to Wang Ben.

"Reinforcements? This time we took away 180,000 troops to the south, and the 200,000 Qin troops of General Mengfu of Bazhou in the east were firmly locked in Bazhou by the Han army, and the available soldiers in the hands of the father were only less than 350,000 people. At present, the officers and men in the army still have the strength to fight, but if they continue, I am afraid that this last bit of fighting strength will be gone."

Wang Ben sighed, and said in silence for a long time, now the army has really reached a state of despair.

He had long been aware of the current situation in Sichuan and Shu, and he never expected Wang Jian to send reinforcements.

The reason why he didn't choose to make a move earlier was because Wang Ben still had luck in his heart, and he expected that the grassland nomads would be unruly and difficult to tame.

Once hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry are in turmoil, it is a good opportunity for them to turn defeat into victory.

It's a pity that after such a long period of observation, Wang Ben did not see the slightest trace of the chaos of the grassland army, but was properly tamed under the command of Sima Yu, causing the army to miss the good opportunity to break through the chaos when the Chinese army was not firmly established.

At present, the only way to lead the army to break through to the death is to decide whether you can go or not depends on God!

"Yes! The subordinates are going to herald! ”

Zhong Ion's expression changed when he heard this, and finally gritted his teeth and bowed to Wang Ben and left.

Soon, the army made a fire for breakfast, and the little remaining military rations were taken out without hesitation, and all the soldiers had to eat a full meal tonight.

"Driving~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

A fast horse galloped quickly on the flat ground at the foot of the West Mountain, crossed the front camp of the Chinese army, and went straight to the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.

"Stop, this is an important place in the army, and no one can wait to go further!"

Hu Zhuoyan, the leader of the scout team of the cavalry battalion of the Southern Army, anxiously drove his horse to gallop all the way, and just as he was about to approach the main general of the army, that is, the camp of Sima Yu, the emperor of Huaguo, 300 meters away, the soldiers of the guards battalion in charge of guarding him stopped him.

"Hu Zhuoyan, the leader of the scout team of the cavalry battalion of the subordinate Southern Army, this is the military card of his subordinates, and he needs to face the saint if he has an urgent military situation."

Seeing this, Hu Zhuoyan turned over and dismounted, respectfully took out the waist card from his waist and handed it to the two guards.

"Wait a minute!"

After carefully confirming Hu Zhuoyan's military badge, the chief of the guard in charge of the guard, said a word to him and turned to the camp to report.

"Please follow me!"

A few minutes later, Shi Chang quickly returned, and politely invited Hu Zhuoyan in, for Hu Zhuoyan who had the opportunity to be seen, even guards like them did not dare to slack off.

There has always been a rule in the Chinese army, that is, all the scouts in the army can directly report to the commander-in-chief of the army according to the situation, this is to avoid delaying the fighter plane because of the military intelligence reports, and this move also allows many scouts in the army to have a quick way to advance.

At present, it is a rare opportunity for Hu Zhuoyan to play directly in front of the emperor, if he leaves a good image in front of the emperor, then the soaring is not just around the corner.

"Hu Zhuoyan, the leader of the scout team of the cavalry battalion of the Southern Army, knocks on the saint!"

When Hu Zhuoyan was brought into the wide tent by the guards, and when he saw the proud and wide back standing in front of the sand table, he couldn't help but feel hot in front of his eyes, and stepped forward, knelt on his knees with his whole clothes and armor, and bowed to the ground.

Huaguo has rapidly developed from the original village to a huge empire with tens of millions of people in a few years, and his founder Sima Yu is almost a mythical existence in the hearts of the low-level soldiers and people in the army, and its prestige and prestige can completely make people forget life and death.

"Get up! The guards came to say, saying that you have an urgent military situation to report, what is the matter, come quickly"

A majestic voice sounded faintly in the camp, and Sima Yu turned his eyes to focus on Hu Zhuoyan.

"Back to Your Majesty, today's subordinate team is on duty to monitor the intelligence of the Qin army in the mountains, and the subordinates found that the Qin army on the mountain today lives and cooks a quarter of an hour earlier than before, and the food distributed in the hands of each soldier is much more than before, and the camp is much quieter than before after eating.

Sima Yu's gaze doubled the pressure on Hu Zhuoyan's body, and he took two deep breaths before lowering his head and reporting loudly.

"Much more food than ever before? Are you sure your judgment is accurate? ”

Hearing this, Sima Yu's eyes froze, and after a brief pause, he asked in a deep voice.

"Subordinates dare to vouch for their heads!"

Hu Zhuoyan only felt a sinking feeling when he heard this, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at Sima Yu bravely and affirmed.

"Good! If this matter is true, I should remember this merit for you, and immediately summon all the generals to come to discuss it! ”

Sima Yu's eyes showed a hint of approval, looked at Hu Zhuoyan and nodded, and then immediately gave an order to the guards outside the tent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hu Zhuoyan showed excitement on his face and quickly bowed down.

"Whoa!"

The guards outside the tent were ordered to go quickly to inform the generals of the various armies.

In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of generals of the Chinese Army, including Ao Bai, gathered in the commander's tent.
