Chapter Ninety-Six: The Iron Overseer
Xian Jinfei handed over the command of the Iron Blood Army to Di Xianlan. Di Xianlan became the one who really held the power of the Predators. Di Xianlan saw that Xian Jinfei was resolute, so he didn't shirk too much, but secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must take back An Yun for Xian Jinfei.
Di Xianlan set out from the Beijing division and led the army to the north, where he was about to engage the Yanbei army.
"Listen, generals, now the people who have started in Anyun can be used by me. It's just that the people who started in various places fought on their own, and it was easy to be broken by the enemy individually. In my opinion, it is necessary to organize them and fight with our main forces. Only then will we have a chance to win. You must know that Wei Zeng now has 200,000 people, and we will fight hard with him, and there is no possibility of victory. Anyun's father and elder are the only ones we rely on to win.
"General Bai, you have a high prestige in the south of Anyun, and you take people to the south to organize the people who have started in the plains; General Wu is an old Qin person, and with General Wu's prestige in the land of Old Qin, it is not a problem to contact the old Qin people who have caused trouble. I will lead people to drag Wei Zeng's main army head-on, and when the time comes, we will flank Wei Zeng in three directions, and we may be able to defeat them.
"The will of the people is the key to victory or defeat, Anyun is also your hometown, and no one wants to make their hometown suffer. Spread our military order, if anyone dares to disturb the people, regardless of position, once discovered, he will be killed on the spot. Di Xianlan said to the generals in the tent.
The generals were commanded to say yes. After the deliberations, Bai Zheng went to the southern plain of Anyun; Udeli went to the land of Lao Qin in the north; The other generals led their troops and horses, preparing to follow Di Xianlan to the north.
After the generals left the big tent, Di Xianlan was about to put on his cloak and lead his army north. But only to hear a fierce cough, Di Xianlan's hand fell to the ground.
"Lord Overseer, you're seriously ill. Why did you personally lead the troops into battle this time? The gendar is a good one, but the Overseer can't take his life lightly. One of Di Xianlan's attendants picked up the cloak and said with concern on his face.
"I know my illness, and it makes no difference whether I can cure it or not. Xianshuai has the grace of knowing me, and I Di Xianlan has never been able to repay me. Only hope before I die. can help Xian Shuai reoccupy An Yun, otherwise I will not be at peace even if I die. Di Xianlan picked up a towel, wiped the blood from his hands, and then put the drape on his body as if nothing had happened.
"The Overseer's dedication to the Commander is truly admirable. But since the Overseer is not in good health, why bother to go into battle himself. You only need to issue each command in the big account, and someone will do it for you. The squire continued to persuade.
"Now the situation is critical, I will not fight. How can a soldier fight with all his might? What's more, I also want to see what the so-called Mobei Flying Eagle is capable of. I, Di Xianlan, got his name because he guarded Mobei, and he Wei Zeng also got the title of Mobei Flying Eagle because he defeated the Zhantu people. When I was young, I didn't shoot flying eagles in Mobei, and now I'm old, but I also want to reminisce about my original ambition. Sand hawk plucking. Grilled over the fire, it tastes amazing. Di Xianlan's eyes shone brightly. Sweeping away the old state brought about by old age, it shows the majestic wind of the original megatron Mobei.
The attendant has followed Di Xianlan for many years, and when he saw Di Xianlan's expression, it seemed that he had returned to the time when tens of thousands of iron horsemen roamed the desert north. The attendant didn't say anything, just silently prepared some daily medicine for Di Xianlan.
On the walls of the city of Jingshi. A gray-haired old man, and a weak-crowned young man looking forward to the iron-blooded army that went out from afar. The old man's face was very calm, and his eyes were full of expectation. The young man looked puzzled, and his eyes showed hesitation.
"Father, is it really good for you to hand over all the military and political power to General Di? In case he betrays us. We're going to lose everything. The boy said, this boy is the youngest son of Xian Jinfei, Xian Guzhong
"You don't understand. It is natural to be cautious and cautious, but if you don't even have someone you can trust, then this life is a failure. General Di has a generous temperament and usually speaks little, but he is also a person who values love and righteousness. If even General Di can't be trusted, there will be no one to trust as a father. Xian Jinfei said.
"But the child has grown up, and I can go into battle to kill the enemy and share my father's worries. Even if General Di is reliable, can he be more reliable if he has children? Kentanaka dissatisfied.
"Your three brothers have all died on the battlefield, do you want you to let me lose you again? What's more, you are still young, and you still don't understand how to fight with soldiers. You remember, if you don't have to do it yourself, don't do it yourself. Get the world's talents to assist you, those hard things, those dangerous things, naturally someone else will do it for you. You have to do everything yourself, you will be very hard and dangerous. You have to learn to believe in those who can be trusted, not to be reckless, and not to be rash. Xian Jinfei said with a stern face.
"The child knows." Xian Guzhong said dejectedly, he was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Xian Jinfei.
At the same time, Wei Zeng had already led a large army and came to the Anyun Realm.
When Yishan heard about An Yun's battle situation, Wei Zeng already had a plan in his heart. Wei Zeng planned to personally lead a large army to quell the rebellion in the land of Lao Qin, and then go south to recover the Jingshi and completely defeat the Iron and Blood Army. A letter from Wei Zeng has been sent to Shifeng City, asking Qi Weilun to mobilize tens of thousands of horses and horses to march into Hexi and put down the rebellion in Hexi and southern Anyun.
Di Xianlan is also a good fighter, and he fights with Wei Zeng on the battlefield, although the number of people is at a disadvantage, but he does not fall behind at all. Di Xianlan's use of troops is strange, the army's formation is very tight, and in the face of several times the enemy, it can also be confronted head-on. Di Xianlan fought with the help of terrain, often blocking Wei Zeng's main force with a small number of people, and then sent a large force to encircle and annihilate the scattered Yanbei army.
It's just that although Di Xianlan is strong in his troops, his numerical disadvantage is there, and the partial victory cannot turn the tide of the battle, and he is defeated and retreated under the blow of the Yanbei army.
Although Wei Zeng didn't have so many tricks, he was also cautious. After suffering several losses, he ordered the army to gather in one place, ignoring the enemies who were harassing him everywhere, and only pointed his troops directly at the Beijing division.
It was impossible for Di Xianlan to let Wei Zeng go and hit the city of Jingshi, so he had to lay many dangers on the way to Jingshi. Di Xianlan has been waiting for news from Bai Zheng and Wu Deli, and only when the people they brought appeared, the passive situation could be resolved.
"I hope that General Bai and General Wu can release their previous suspicions, and they can't unite at this time. The Predator is really finished. ”
Di Xianlan couldn't be more than worried in his heart, the Iron Blood Army would fail because of the discord among the generals. Now that he has been holding on to Wei Zeng's army for a few months, Bai Zheng and Wudeli have not yet arrived, and it is impossible for Di Xianlan not to be in a hurry.
Wei Zeng and Di Xianlan fought each other, only seeking to win steadily, and now they have been holding each other for several months. Wei Zeng believed that Di Xianlan would not be able to support it for long.
"Now the Jingshi is in front of us, but Di Xianlan's people have been blocking us. As long as Di Xianlan can be defeated, An Yun's rebellion can be successfully quelled this time. Chaichi you take your horse team around the enemy's rear to prevent the enemy from escaping towards the Jingshi. Huang Yufei ordered the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to step forward, it was time to fight a tough battle. Wei Zeng saw that after several months of fighting, the morale of the iron-blooded army was not as good as before, so he gathered the generals and planned to launch a general attack. I've been cautious and cautious, and I can finally give it a go.
The entire Yanbei army spread out on all fronts and rushed towards Di Xianlan's army. Gu Cha went around to the rear of the Predators and cut off the retreat of the Predators. This posture is to annihilate the Iron and Blood Army.
After months of fighting. The sharpness of the Iron Blood Army has been exhausted, even if Di Xianlan is an immortal in the sky, it is difficult to change the situation of imminent defeat.
In the fierce battle, when Di Xianlan was about to despair, Bai Zheng and Wu Deli, who had not heard from him for a long time, finally appeared.
The two led a large number of Anyun people who had risen up to support. Although these Anyun people were poorly armed and equipped, they were numerous, and they cooperated with Di Xianlan's troops. Launching an attack on the northern army of Yanbei also caused Wei Zeng a lot of trouble.
"It turns out that Di Xianlan still has a backhand. These mutiners are also really a nuisance. Now it is not advisable to entangle with the enemy here, retreat thirty miles, reorganize the army and fight again. Let Cha Yi's horse team break off. When Wei Zeng saw the sudden appearance of the enemy, he decisively gave the order to retreat.
When the encircled iron-blooded army saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all fought out and joined the reinforcements.
Di Xianlan saw Wei Zeng retreating. It was decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue, ordering everyone to move forward.
But the messy, crowded people became the crossbowmen in the Yanbei army, and the live targets of the Gucha horse team. Many died. But he still couldn't catch up with Wei Zeng's main force.
"If you give me another 10,000 iron-blooded elites, I will definitely be able to let Wei Zeng explain here today. These rabbles really don't have any rules at all, and it is very difficult to win in such a battle. Di Xianlan watched Wei Zeng retreat calmly, and couldn't help but complain.
"Why should the Overseer be angry, these people naturally can't compare to the elite of my Predator. But with a little tuning, you can fight. If you want to defeat Wei Zeng and regain An Yun, you have to think in the long run. Bai Zheng walked to Di Xianlan's side, looked at the chaotic military formation, and frowned and said.
"Thanks to General Bai for coming in time, otherwise Di would have been here today. Di thanked me here. Di Xianlan heard Bai Zheng's voice and turned his head to thank him.
"Why do you have to do this, Lord Overseer, I said everything for the sake of the Commander. I obey your command, and it is also because of this title that the commander gave you. I don't know why the Overseers thank me. If there is no military, I will go back and put these people in order. Bai Zheng ignored Di Xianlan's gratitude, squinted his eyes, and said lightly.
"Wei Zeng has been repulsed, and there is nothing important for a while. General Bai will go back and straighten out these people first. It's really not like that now. In the evening, I will invite General Bai and the generals to my big tent, and I will have to discuss all the military affairs with the generals. Di Xianlan said politely.
Bai Zheng gave up his hand and left.
"Proud as a sparrow, just unconvinced. But now it's much better than before. Di Xianlan smiled bitterly and said secretly.
Wei Zeng retreated thirty miles and set up camp. In the face of the reinforced iron-blooded army, Wei Zeng was not afraid at all, but it was impossible to defeat them immediately.
"Now that the rebellious enemy and the main force of Di Xianlan are in one place, it will take some effort for us to destroy them. For the sake of today's plan, only by mobilizing more troops from Yanbei can we defeat the enemy as soon as possible. By the way, how is the battle situation in Hexi? Wei Zeng asked.
"The rebels in Hexi have been pacified, and the rebels in the southern plains have also fled here. Now Hexi and the southern part of Anyun are back in our hands. Huang Yufei replied.
"It's good that you can transfer people there. It's hard to destroy the enemy in one place, but we still have the strength to spare. Mobilize the troops from the east, and pacify the remnants of the Iron Blood Army is just around the corner. Wei Zeng said.
Under Wei Zeng's orders, the rebellious armies that had been quelled everywhere were assembled in the direction of the Jingshi, and it can be said that as long as these armies converged with Wei Zeng's main force, it would be difficult for the iron-blooded army to support it.
However, the east wind on the Siqing Sea was strong, and the sailing ships carrying a full ship of soldiers sailed quickly towards the east coast of Yanbei and Xuhuai. The Yaodong people, who had been preparing for a year, planned to attack Yanbei in a big way.
In the past, there was Sajiali Town to guard Guanbei, and the Yaodong people needed to gather a large number of troops on the front line of the Heishui River, and the sea-crossing operation a few years ago could only be placed in one direction of Shifeng City.
Now that Guanbei has fallen into the hands of the Ding brothers, the Yaodong people have no worries, so they plan to attack on a large scale, and every place on the vast coastline from Yanbei to Xuhuai can become the place where the Yaodong army landed. This posture is a reproduction of the barbarian invasion of the past.
Wei Zeng left 30,000 troops to defend Shifeng City, and another 10,000 troops to govern the Suicheng soldiers and defend the Xuhuai line. All other troops went to Anyun to quell the rebellion.
Now the sea crossing battle of the Yaodong army has cut off Shifeng City and Suicheng from the middle. Fortunately, Shifeng City and Suicheng are both big cities, and they are guarded by sufficient troops, and the Yaodong people are helpless. However, after Wei Zeng received the news of the Yaodong people's attack, he could only give up his plan to fight a decisive battle with the Iron and Blood Army.
The remnants of An Yun's iron-blooded army were very excited when they heard the news of Yaodongren's attack. Under the command of Di Xianlan, the remnants of the Iron Blood Army launched an attack on all parts of Anyun.
Fighting on both sides, Wei Zeng also felt a little stretched, and the harm of losing Guanbei was finally revealed. Shifeng City could not be lost, so Wei Zeng had to choose to repel the Yaodong people first.
However, the Kansai Military Government is still there, and the Kansai Army still has more than 100,000 people, will they take the opportunity to attack? Fan Guyi in Jiangnan promised to settle the dispute peacefully with Wei Zeng, but now that Xu Huai has it at his fingertips, can Fan Guyi really keep his promise?
Defeated many strong enemies and occupied large areas of land, but it seemed that all enemies were eyeing Wei Zeng. The Predator Army failed to eradicate it, and eventually became a major problem for the henchmen. The loss of Guanbei could not effectively contain the Yaodong people, and finally triggered a large-scale attack by the Yaodong people. How will everything be resolved? Was it a success, or a failure? (To be continued.) )
