078 Expedition to the West
One-third of the territory west of the Heihe River is mainly in the hands of the foreign prince Nangong Xin, since Fan Wei of the Great Yin Empire led the army to attack and enter, it can be said that it has been defeated in a hundred battles, extremely brave, and Nangong Xin is inseparable.
In the palace, Liu Xuan looked at the fold in his hand, this is a few days ago, Nangong Xin sent a battle report, Fan Wei entered the country for nearly a year, took more than a dozen Daluo towns, and now leads an army of three million, besieged Nangong Xin in Xiyue City, stalemate, Nangong Xin was in a hurry to send a battle report for help.
After a long time, Liu Xuan finished reading the battle report, turned his eyes to Nangong Mu, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion, if you send a million troops at this time and attack from the rear, you can break the enemy army." ”
Nangong Mu raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Xuan, a hint of brightness flashed in his eyes, from Liu Xuan's words, there didn't seem to be much worry, but there was an unusually relaxed look, even with a hint of indifference, as if in his eyes he did not regard the war in the West as a real war.
But you know, this is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to sit up, and if you let someone who does not understand strategy lead the army, it will probably not be successful.
Fan Wei's talent, known to the five countries, his strategy and leadership ability are among the best, and ordinary people really can't defeat him.
"If you are given a million troops, how sure are you that you will defeat the enemy army of Da Yin?" At this time, Nangong Mu suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Liu Xuan's face couldn't help but be shocked, he thought carefully in his heart for a moment, and slowly said, "If the whole army is led by his subordinates, he is eighty percent sure that he will defeat Fan Wei." ”
Nangong Mu looked at Liu Xuan's face fixedly, admired it in his heart, and said, "How long?" ”
"Four months is enough at the latest." Liu Xuan knew that this was what Nangong Mu meant to reuse him, first let him lead a million to Xiyue City to support, if he was defeated, he could go back to suppress Nangong Ba, Liu Xuan thought that this one back and forth time would take about two months, and when he arrived in Xiyue City, he would spend a month or two to fight, and four months was enough for him to show his ambitions.
"Okay, as a citizen of Da Luo, I believe in you, tomorrow you will be a military advisor and go with General Yang to support." Nangong Mu had a slight smile on his face, and made a decision at the moment.
"Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Liu Xuan and Peng Yuan were overjoyed in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed down and drank together
On the second day, Liu Xuan was appointed as the commander of the army, and Peng Yuan was appointed as the left deputy general, and followed under the command of General Yang, and the million-strong army marched towards the west.
Yang Sheng, a general surnamed Da Luo, a middle-aged man with a long beard who is about forty years old, because he is not a Nangong surname, it has been difficult to get the opportunity to be promoted and reused.
Liu Xuan walked with the army for more than half a month, and finally arrived at the bank of the Heihe River, compared with the Tonghai River, the Heihe River appears to be more wide, the reason why it is called the Heihe River is that the river is bottomless, turbid and gushing all the year round, more violent than the Tonghai River, the sound of the river can be heard at a very far distance from the shore, it is really spectacular.
Like the Tonghai River, there is also a chain bridge on this river, which is about 5,000 meters long, goes straight to the opposite bank, is more than 50 meters away from the water surface, the wind is howling, and the iron cables are slightly shaking.
At this time, the soldiers walked on the rope bridge in an orderly manner, Liu Xuan stood beside the rope bridge, his brows furrowed, and in the dark, there seemed to be a hint of taboo in his mind.
He didn't know why he felt this way, he didn't even know why he was suddenly afraid of the rope bridge, looking at the turbulence below, there seemed to be a vague memory sealed in the dust.
"Strategist? What do you think? Seeing Liu Xuan's distracted appearance, Peng Yuan on the side asked in a low voice.
Peng Yuan has been a deputy general since he was named the left deputy general, not to mention how excited, he was also a deputy general under Wu Yi in Linjiang City, but that deputy general is too small compared to this deputy general, I didn't expect to follow Liu Xuan to Modu, and within a few days he became the deputy general of the imperial court, which is an achievement that he may not achieve in his lifetime.
Because of this, he has more respect for Liu Xuan, now Liu Xuan is a big military division, and his grade is much higher than him, I have to say that there is still a big gap between a wise person and a reckless man.
"Oh, nothing, let's go." Liu Xuan came back to his senses, glanced at the torrent below the Black River again, and laughed, maybe he thought too much.
Walking on the rope bridge, feeling the slight shaking of the rope bridge, Liu Xuan always had a sense of déjà vu, that thrilling feeling has been lingering in his mind, and he wanted to think deeply about the reason, but he only felt a headache, shook his head vigorously, and waved his distracting thoughts behind him, and after crossing the bridge, he walked a few days to Xiyue City.
Liu Xuan immediately sent a patrol to Xiyue City to investigate the intelligence, while they continued to walk for a day and set up a camp.
Fan Youzhi is like thunder in the five empires, he brought 10 million troops from Dayin, after a year of battles, he rarely lost, after winning several towns in a row, until he met Nangong Xin, both of them are veterans of the previous generation, in terms of wisdom and trickery, although there are high and low, but they are not much different.
Nangong Xin's army of 10 million standing troops, plus more than 200 million ordinary people, recruited troops all the way, and gathered more than 30 million troops, almost with an absolute advantage in numbers, and Fan Wei was tied.
However, in the battle of Zephyr Valley, he was framed by Fan Wei and lost nearly 10 million generals, so he had to defend Xiyue City and seek support from the imperial court.
Speaking of the Battle of West Wind Valley, it is a little similar to the Battle of Pingguguan when Nangong Jin flooded last year.
Nangong Xin led an army of 20 million defeated Fan Wei, and began to pursue the victory, passing through the West Wind Valley, the sky was not beautiful, when the wind was blowing, the Daluo army went against the wind, and the tragedy should have been avoided, but who would have thought, Nangong Xin was too arrogant, Fan Wei stood in the downwind position, led millions of troops, and transported a large amount of boulder dust overnight, when Nangong Xin's 20 million army entered the valley, Fan Wei gave an order, and the sky blew tornado sand, and even those boulders were brought to the sky and smashed towards the Daluo army.
When Nangong Xin saw this scene, where could he still take care of chasing, the army fled in all directions, with countless casualties, and nearly half of the military strength was lost, which made Nangong Xin vomit blood three times, and fell to the sky.
Now, the two sides have fought no less than dozens of times, and finally Fan Wei has forced to Xiyue City with an army of three million, and the people in the city are panicked, while Nangong Xin has been closed, just waiting for reinforcements to arrive
