Chapter 554: The Battle of the Ages (4)
Five days later, southern Xinjiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the border, Jiang Yiyuan's army came in a mighty way, and finally arrived at the border of southern Xinjiang in the early hours of this morning, of course, it is also the border of Kaiyuan, which is less than ten miles away from the place of Kaiyuan.
After the army set up camp, Jiang Yiyuan did not dare to stay for a moment, and summoned all the generals to discuss in the big tent of the Chinese army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, many generals gathered, Zhou Meng, Wu Qiong, Huang Yan, Niu San... There are countless others, and there are hundreds of people standing in the big tent, and he has brought all the elites with him on this expedition.
After everyone arrived, Jiang Yiyuan walked to the top, the middle position.
Don't look at Zhou Meng as the master of the three armies, but almost everyone knows that in fact, Jiang Yiyuan is the one who gave the order, even if Zhou Meng wants to give an order, it must be agreed by Jiang Yiyuan first.
So, don't look at Jiang Yiyuan as just a military advisor, in fact, he has absolute rights!
And Zhou Meng does not regard himself as a general or generalissimo, with Jiang Yiyuan in the army, it is not his turn to call the shots in military affairs, so as soon as he enters the military tent, he consciously stands back to his previous position, that is, the first on the left-hand side.
As for the second and third, they are Wu Qiong, Huang Yan and other generals, Wu Qiong and Huang Yan are both generals that Jiang Yiyuan has focused on cultivating in the past three years, so far, except for Zhou Meng, these two people have the highest positions and the greatest ability.
"Meet the Strategist."
"Don't be polite."
Jiang Yiyuan came to the front of the map and looked at it, and asked Wu Qiong: "Wu Qiong, I asked you to inquire about the enemy's movements, how are you doing?" What about the front of us? ”
Wu Qiong is a very thin man, around thirty years old, mediocre martial arts, with the help of Jiang Yiyuan's trust, in the past three years, it can be said that he has been in the mix. Now, except for Zhou Meng, he is the most powerful.
Of course, there are also Huang Yan and Niu San who are as famous as him.
Wu Qiongyu reported: "The military division, in front of which is the southeast road of the small city ---, originally only had a thousand defenders, led by the county commander, and there was not even a captain; I heard that our army was coming, and in a few days, the number of troops in the southeast province had increased to 40,000, and we were actively preparing for war, and we were increasing troops here everywhere. ”
Jiang Yiyuan really didn't know about this, he was busy dealing with the affairs of the Eastern Xinjiang Imperial Court and Yang Xiong in the Western Xinjiang these days, urging the two armies to move forward quickly, so he didn't have much interest in these small cities in front of him, because as long as the 400,000 troops arrived, these small cities would definitely fall in the wind.
But what he didn't expect was that the small southeast province town had gathered 40,000 people, which was beyond him.
"No, how can there be 40,000 people?"
Jiang Yiyuan looked at the map and said, "Within a radius of three hundred miles, there are only less than 6,000 defenders, how can 40,000 people emerge?" Is the information wrong? ”
"There will be no mistakes."
Wu Qiong said: "The people sent by the last general came back to report, it was the private soldiers of the major families, and the people in the city volunteered to participate in the defense of the city, scattered and scattered, adding up to more than 40,000, as for the county soldiers, there should be about 5,000, all of which were reinforced from the four neighboring counties." ”
Zhou Meng smiled disdainfully and said, "Private soldiers? Also volunteered to participate in the defense of the city, hehe... I think it's a rabble, not to be afraid; The military division, the last general, asked for orders to attack the city, and within half a day, he will definitely take the southeast road. ”
"The small southeast road, it's not difficult to take..."
Jiang Yiyuan was puzzled: "But I have some doubts, why are these big families like crazy, don't want to increase troops here, aren't they afraid of being eaten by me?" ”
"It seems that Ling Feng is really not to be underestimated, if he can envelop these great families like this, who else can there be in the world."
Niu San said with a smile: "Strategist, why bother to raise the morale of others to destroy their own prestige, we have a full army of 400,000 people, and more than 200,000 bombs, let alone capture a small city, even if the small city is razed to the ground, what is the difficulty?" ”
At this moment, he is much stronger than three years ago, maybe shi has something to do with his diet life, he became a general, and he has a lot of fish and meat all day long, if he is not fat or strong, it will be strange.
"You can't say that."
Jiang Yiyuan said: "It's easy to destroy a small city, but what about Ling Feng's army behind the small city?" It is reported that Ling Feng has sent the general Liao Yun and the Huwei generals Sun Liang and Sun Tong to lead an army of 120,000 to help. ”
"In other words, we must destroy the 40,000 rabble in front of us before the 120,000 army arrives, and prepare to meet the enemy."
"This battle is very important to our southern Xinjiang, and victory or defeat will be related to our life and death, so I hereby advise all the generals, don't have any luck in your heart, and go all out with me to eliminate Ling Feng! That's the only way out! ”
Jiang Yiyuan didn't know how many times he had said these words.
He was afraid of war, and he was afraid that before the battle began, his own people would retreat.
If that's the case, then no amount of soldiers is useless.
"Rest assured, we will do our best to pay for it."
The crowd bowed their hands.
Zhou Meng smiled and said, "Strategist, just give the order, we can't wait." ”
"Okay."
Jiang Yiyuan nodded, pointed to the small city pass on the map, and said, "Wu Qiong listens to the order." ”
Wu Qiong was overjoyed and said, "The end will be." ”
Jiang Yiyuan said: "I will order you to lead an army of 50,000 in your headquarters to attack the southeast road and conquer it within one day, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Order!"
Wu Qionglang said.
"Zhou Meng."
"The end will be."
Jiang Yiyuan said: "We must continue to send people to urge Zhou Xiong, Yang Xiong, and Za Yadu, so that they can quickly attack Kaiyuan, and they must not hesitate." Tell them that cooperation is good, and division is harmful, and only by working with one heart and one mind can Ling Feng be eliminated. ”
"Order."
Zhou Meng said.
In fact, there is no need to say these words, the Dongjiang Imperial Court and Yang Xiong should know, but Jiang Yiyuan has always been cautious in doing things, and this time he has made a great determination, which can be regarded as pressing his net worth and life, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake, so he is so careful and nervous.
...........
Kaiyuan.
Since that meeting, Kaihara has been busy.
The officials are busy, the people are busy, everyone is thinking and worrying about the stability of Kaiyuan, and the streets and alleys are full of voices one by one.
On the day after the meeting, Liao Yun, Sun Tong, and Sun Liang set off, and the 120,000-strong army went straight to the southern border of Xinjiang, without even bringing much grain and grass, and only bringing weapons from the base camp.
But don't worry, in a big war like this, the military department has a special person responsible for transportation, and the household department will also send someone to assist, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food and weapons. (To be continued.) )
