Chapter 663: Undercurrent
As soon as this strategy was offered, Ling Feng was overjoyed, and immediately admired Meng Jian's talent.
First gave those refugees a lot of benefits, bought people's hearts, and then rebelled, like these snowy people, it is very good to rebel, because the snowy region has not been in the holy dynasty for a long time, and they are not very familiar with Wang Xu, and their loyalty is naturally not high, plus natural disasters every year, but there is no relief for the government and the opposition, but the county guard gathers everyone here, builds houses, and gives porridge to drink, in contrast, the people of the snowy region have regarded Meng Jian as the backbone, and Wang Xu has been forgotten.
How would the foolish people in the countryside know that in fact, the food where Meng Jian is located comes from the imperial capital.
Meng Jian came to the school field, and immediately more than a dozen people came over, these were all arranged by Meng Jian here to incite the homeless people to rebel, a group of people entered a big tent, Meng Jian came to sit down above, looked at everyone and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"Ready, everyone said that as long as the county keeper stepped forward, they would give their full support!"
One of the strong men said.
Meng Jian nodded: "Okay, then let's start." ”
Immediately, everyone discussed the details, and then walked out of the big tent and prepared to start the uprising.
..............
Qin Shuang military camp.
Hearing that Meng Jian went to Qixia County early in the morning, Qin Shuang prepared the soldiers early, except for the 50,000 infantry who stayed here and stared at the 50,000 county soldiers in the county town, the rest of the 100,000 people were ready to go.
At this time in the barracks, Qin Shuang rode a group of high-headed horses, holding a long knife and looking at the herald on the side: "Order, march with drums, target, Xiaxian County." ”
"No."
As soon as the herald walked away, Qin Shuang took his 40,000 elite iron cavalry and ran quickly to the west, as for the remaining 60,000 infantry, they could advance slowly, which was also a matter of no choice, if they had to wait for the 60,000 infantry to march together. By the time I arrived in Qixia County, I was afraid it would already be tomorrow, but it would be too late.
Tick...
The horse's hooves are raised, and the momentum is like thunder. All the soldiers looked serious, although they did not know the intention of this march, but none of the soldiers cared about it, and as a soldier, it was not wrong to obey the general's words. As Wang Xu said, as a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.
Xiaxia County.
At this time, it was already dusk in the afternoon, Meng Jian finally completed the uprising and other matters, and the 300,000 soldiers were all issued with many weapons on the spot, such as armor, blades, spears, bows and arrows, etc., in an instant, 300,000 homeless people became 300,000 troops!
As for the equipment of the 300,000 army, some said that it was raised by Meng Jian over the years. It has been secretly transported here and buried a long time ago, and it has not been taken out until now, which can be described as a long time of planning.
After the weapons and other weapons are distributed, generals and others are assigned, but the army of 300,000 people, if all the generals, captains, deputy generals, etc. are newly selected, it will take at least one or two days to complete, what Meng Jian lacks now is time, so he has no intention of selecting from these 300,000 people. Instead, he directly placed the hundreds of people he brought with him among the three tens of thousands of people, and served as generals respectively, so that it was much simpler.
Until dark, everything was done. In order to make the soldiers have morale, Meng Jian ordered a large granary, took out all the grain, wine and meat, and let 300,000 people have a good meal, and brought it to the early morning of tomorrow, 300,000 people will set out of camp. Prepare to make peace with the 50,000 elites he placed in the Snowy Counties, directly defeat Qin Shuang, and then kill Xiping Pass.
This arrangement can be described as seamless, if it weren't for Wang Xu personally coming here to know the inside story, I'm afraid that Qin Shuang's hundreds of thousands of people would be miserable, and he was willing to be defeated, but now, there are 40,000 iron horsemen with Lei Yan rushing here, Qin Shuang himself is also extremely vigilant, and he has been prepared for a long time, and in this case, he will definitely not be defeated.
Minutes and seconds passed until it was dark.
Meng Jian was looking at the map in the big tent, thinking about the battle he was going to encounter next, when a general ran in: "My lord, Qin Shuang is here with his army." ”
Qin Shuang is here!
Hearing this, Meng Jian turned around: "He is finally here, don't panic, this is what I expected." ”
"My lord, he is now in the city, how should we deal with it?"
Meng Jian waved his hand: "Take me to see it first." ”
"No."
The two walked out of the big tent, walked out of the barracks, and came to the city wall half an hour later, looking up, the outside of the city was full of elite soldiers wearing white battle armor, Meng Jian knew that this was indeed Qin Shuang's troops.
Originally, the uniforms of the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty were black, but the Snowy County was full of white delicacy, and the army hid itself in order to cover itself, so the color of the armor was changed to white.
Meng Jian stretched out his hand and counted it, then frowned and said, "This is only 40,000 people, and he still has 110,000 people?" ”
On the side, a general replied: "It is reported that Qin Shuang is unusually busy here, so his infantry is all lagging behind, the cavalry is one step ahead, and he has left 50,000 elites outside the county town, it seems that he wants to keep an eye on our 50,000 soldiers in the county town." ”
"Well, that's good."
Meng Jian thought for a while, and then said: "Judging from the deployment of Qin Shuang's troops, his intention is to besiege but not attack, intercept our road to the south, and block us in Qixia County. ”
Meng Jian was talking to himself, and suddenly a trace of worry rose in his heart, generally besieging but not attacking, there were only two intentions, first, he wanted to wait for the people in the city to run out of food and grass and then win without a fight, and second, that is, he was waiting for reinforcements!
"No, how could he have reinforcements, we just got into trouble, not many people know about it, even he just knew, how could it be... Could it be Lei Yan? ”
Meng Jiandao.
On the side, a general said: "Don't worry, my lord, even if Lei Yan is coming, it will be five days later, when we have already arrived at Xiping Pass, the big thing has been accomplished, and he is powerless to change it." ”
Having said that, Meng Jian always felt that something was wrong, but it was still unclear.
Meng Jiandao: "Let the soldiers be on guard, without my order, they are not allowed to fight, and they are trying to break through early tomorrow morning." ”
"No."
.....
It's the third watch of the night.
In the county town of Xueyu County, Meng Jian's 50,000 troops were ready to go, and they received Meng Jian's military order yesterday to defeat the Qin Shuangjun outside the city, and then reinforce Qixia County.
The general in charge of commanding this army is named Sun Hua, Sun Hua is forty-three years old, he was recruited by Meng Jian when he recruited this army, his martial arts are not bad, and he knows some military arts, so gradually, he became a capable general under Meng Jian.
Now that this army is all kneeling under the command of Sun Hua, such an achievement is of course inseparable from Meng Jian's support and trust, so Sun Hua is extremely loyal to Meng Jian, all of which is due to Meng Jian.
The county guard's office.
Sun Hua convened his generals to discuss the meeting, and there were more than a dozen generals attending the meeting, all of whom were the highest among the 50,000 elites. (To be continued.) )
