98, prelude to the Great War
"This time the king of the battlefield decided to choose here." Chen Chen pointed to a map with his hand and said to everyone.
Yang Cheng looked up at the terrain and frowned slightly: "Lord Wang, this is a canyon area, the terrain is relatively narrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread your hands and feet, and it will be difficult to arrange troops!" ”
Chen Chen smiled slightly: "What General Yang said is not bad, you have thought of all these kings you said, don't you see that this east is a big battlefield, if you directly fight with the other party head-on this time, we will be more than lucky, so first use the terrain advantage to consume part of the opponent's strength, and finally fight head-on." ”
"But Brother Huang, this east is too close to Shengzhou, I'm afraid it's not okay? We should pull the front to the west, otherwise it will be too easy for the Four-Nation Coalition to approach Shengzhou. Chen Cheng looked at the terrain, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little worried.
Commander Wei also frowned and shook his head: "Yes, Lord Wang, will this expose Shengzhou all of a sudden, making it easier for the enemy army to break the city?" ”
Chen Chen smiled bitterly: "Do you think I didn't think it through when I did this?" You must know that the terrain in the west of Shengzhou is high in the west and low in the east, and it is easy for the other party to take advantage of the terrain to catch us off guard. ”
"After this war, immediately wave the army westward and seize Yunzhou from Chen Guo as soon as possible, so that Yunzhou, Shengzhou and Dongshui Peninsula will become a three-legged Thai style, and we will build defense facilities with the help of Yunzhou moats, and we can attack and retreat and defend, then we will be safe." Chen Chen took the bamboo pole and drew it gently, the map was drawn on the silk cloth, Chen Chen was afraid that the cloth would be torn.
Everyone looked at the map and listened to Chen Chen's arrangement: "The prince is really thoughtful, although the other party is in the city, but after all, they have no geographical advantage, when the time comes, we will start the artillery and Airbus bombing, and the other party will have to climb the slope when he escapes, and it is also very good for us to take advantage of the victory to pursue." ”
Chen Chen nodded and smiled: "That's right, the mines in the factory are about to be produced recently, Commander Wei, when you lead the army to bury the mines in the places where the enemy troops pass, and at the same time command the air force to seize the opportunity to attack the other party, you will definitely surprise them." ”
Commander Wei nodded in agreement.
"General Yang Cheng, you are strong in martial arts, you are also proficient in the army, and you are from the cavalry, so this time the commander of the infantry and cavalry will be handed over to you, don't let this king down." Chen Chen turned around and wandered between Yang Cheng and Chen Cheng for a long time, and finally determined the commander.
Although Chen Cheng trained the army well, he was still a lot worse in terms of transferring troops and sending generals, and Wei was an experienced commander, but he needed to deal with the command of the air force by laying mines, so he could only let Yang Cheng be in charge of the cavalry and infantry, and Yang Cheng could stabilize Shengzhou for so many years.
Yang Cheng's face was stunned, he didn't expect that the prince would actually hand over this task to him, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order: "The last general will definitely not live up to the expectations of the prince." ”
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction and smiled slightly: "Well, Chen Cheng, you will lead the archers and some infantry to ambush here at that time, create chaos for the other party, and at the same time be responsible for the investigation of the battlefield situation, if the other party escapes, remember to pay more loot." ”
Chen Cheng nodded in agreement and stood aside.
Chen Chen turned around and looked at the other officers and said solemnly: "You each lead your own army to obey the command, and act when the time comes, as for the cannons and trebuchets will be led by this king, I hope we all will unite and go to the national disaster together." ”
"Yes, lord." Everyone agreed in unison.
"Report, Lord Qiqi, the Four-Nation Alliance has marched and is about to arrive in Shengzhou." Just as Chen Chen was settling down for combat work, a spy quickly rushed in to report to everyone.
Chen Chen waved his hand: "Okay, let's take action, and make sure that there are people in each position." ”
Everyone nodded and quickly led the troops down for deployment.
The sound of horses' hooves kicked up countless dust on the dirt road, and as far as the eye could see, hundreds of thousands of soldiers lined up in a line and marched quickly, in front of the cavalry opened the way, the banners of Qi, Chu, Nanzhao and Chen Siguo were held high, the infantry archers behind the cavalry accelerated their pace, and in the middle of the army, a huge carriage was pulled by twenty-four horses, and tens of thousands of soldiers around were tightly embraced.
There were four people sitting in the car at the moment, and the faces of the four people were extremely heavy, and their brows were furrowed even more.
A middle-aged man put his wine glass on the table heavily, looked back at an old man next to him and asked, "General Liu, what do you think of this dispatch?" We've been marching for so long, and we've already entered Shengzhou, why hasn't there been any movement in Dongshui? It stands to reason that there should be an army to block it? ”
Old man Liu's brows were also tight, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, so he looked back at an old man next to him and smiled slightly: "General Qin, you are the general of Chen State, you should know the terrain of Shengzhou very well, right?" I don't know what you think of King Wencheng's use of soldiers. ”
General Qin twisted his beard and shook his head slightly: "General Liu, you know that General Ben has been at the northern border pass, and he doesn't know anything about the imperial capital of Chen State, and he only recently learned about everything that happened in Chen State." ”
"According to General Ben's previous understanding of King Wencheng, he is kind-hearted and good at making friends with people in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know why King Wencheng is so powerful now."
General Liu was slightly happy: "Now that the former emperor of Chen Guo has died, the crown prince has ascended the throne, but King Wencheng has been rectifying in Dongshui, and there is a tendency to compete with Chen Guo's court." For example, Shangguan Yu, the former prime minister of his country, is now the prime minister of Dongshui, and Wu Kexin, a scholar, has also become an official of Dongshui, and the general of the imperial capital guard, General Wei, has become the commander of the three armies of Dongshui, it is said that your cousin Qin Ruhai is also the chief of Dali Temple in Dongshui, such a court is probably better than the court of Chen State, this expedition, General Qin wants to break Dongshui? ”
General Qin snorted coldly: "What does General Liu mean by this?" ”
Old man Liu laughed: "His Majesty Chen Guo and the prince of Dongshui are both sons of the first emperor, not to mention that this time your brother is still the triumvirate of Dongshui, I don't know if General Qin will release water?" ”
As soon as General Liu's words came out, General Qin immediately became angry: "Liu Yeyun, what do you mean by this?" Do you think General Ben sent troops this time to sprinkle flowers and accompany the flower girl? He was deeply favored by His Majesty, and naturally served His Majesty, and this time he must eradicate the East Water and stabilize the Chen Kingdom. ”
Liu Yeyun saw that General Qin was angry, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "Okay, okay, why take it seriously if you are joking?" This time, our four-nation alliance army joined forces to attack Dongshui, naturally to break Dongshui, after all, His Majesty behind us can watch it. ”
General Qin snorted coldly and stopped talking.
General Xiqi looked at the contradiction between the two, and laughed and played a round: "Okay, two generals, this time our four-nation alliance army will attack Dongshui, we must be united, and we must not hurt each other." ”
General Liu laughed: "Naturally, that's natural, but now that they have entered Dongshui Shengzhou, why is there no Dongshui army yet?" ”
"The old man feels a little bad this time, this is almost close to Shengzhou City." When the car slowly walked down, General Xichu's eyes flashed, and his heart was unsteady for a while.
"What do you think, old slippery?" Liu Yeyun looked back at Chu Tianqiong, the general of Western Chu.
Chu Tianqiong is not simple, known as the ghost operator of Western Chu, many times with less to win more, with troops to line up unexpectedly, a few years ago with tens of thousands of troops to destroy the enemy's 100,000 troops, in one fell swoop to establish the reputation of the ghost operator, and the ghost operator and Liu Yeyun have never been defeated, naturally won Liu Yeyun's respect and admiration.
Liu Yeyun looked at each other and smiled slightly, this time the four countries sent the four generals to jointly encircle and suppress in order to annihilate Dongshui.
