Chapter 111: The Frontline
"Chen Qifan, how could the emperor suddenly make such a decision, it is too surprising. Walking out of the council hall, Zhi Ze said with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Qifan couldn't figure out what the meaning of the emperor's arrangement was, could it be that the emperor really knew the truth about the assassination of the three princes last night, and arranging them to go to the front line was a disguised way to keep the six of them away from the palace, Chen Qifan thought for a while and said: "I don't know what my father's intentions are, maybe he really wants me to go through the training." ”。
"Don't think too much, let's hurry out, if the emperor really has other intentions, he won't let you be the deputy marshal." Rentian reminded everyone that when they came to the Emperor's Country, they were all ready to deal with various scenes, regardless of whether the emperor drove them away in disguise, they all had the obligation to do what the emperor had explained.
On the avenue outside the palace, Rentian and Chen Qifan began to rush to the front line after wearing strong clothes, and the six people who were hurrying along the road saw the large army of the Imperial Fang Kingdom gathering towards the front line at night, according to the news that Chen Qifan had, the front line division, a total of 700,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 foreigners who came to face off.
The six of them finally rushed to the front line before the war started, and stepped into the jurisdiction of the military camp, and the tense atmosphere of the war immediately infected the six of Shangrentian.
Entering the barracks, Rentian was quickly stopped by the patrolling soldiers, and after Chen Qifan took out the instructions in his arms, the six were immediately taken to the marshal's tent.
In the marshal's tent, Wang Hu, who commanded the whole army, looked at the six Chen Qifan in front of him, and his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and Wang Hu said in a slightly heavy tone: "The military situation is as urgent as a spark, as the deputy marshal of the army, you should come earlier." ”
"Marshal, the moment the six of us received the order, we hurried to the night, and I hope the marshal will forgive us." Chen Qifan said sincerely, Wang Hu, who has been fighting horses all his life, has great prestige in the army, although Wang Hu, who has made great contributions from countless wars, has gray temples, but the atmosphere of the border has not been reduced by half at all.
Chen Qifan's respectful attitude made Wang Hu's face show a slightly satisfied expression, the military camp is a place to send people to hell, if Chen Qifan wants to rely on the identity of the prince to mess around in the military camp, Wang Hu will not mind driving Chen Qifan out of the military camp directly.
"The military situation is urgent, and the subordinates have not been able to grasp the strength of the enemy and us in time, and I hope that the marshal will explain it in detail." After Chen Qifan and Rentian took their seats, they spoke.
This is a war related to the foundation of the entire Imperial Fang Kingdom, and when Chen Qifan and the six of them went to the front line, they were already ready to fight a fierce battle with the army.
"According to the information we have gathered, there are a total of 350,000 foreigners stationed in the territory of the Imperial Fang Kingdom, and our army can gather 700,000 soldiers in one rì time, and the foreigners have taken many cities along the way.
The foreigners who occupy the city as the defending side can make up for the lack of numbers in a certain distance, although there are many soldiers in the imperial state, but they must also make a reasonable strategic layout and take down the foreigners at the least cost, which is Wang Hu's greatest mission as a marshal.
"The 700,000 army has been prepared to divide the troops into three routes, so that the three armies will advance towards the cities occupied by the foreigners, and in addition, the big ships built by the Huangfang State have also been launched and begun to deploy defenses in the territorial waters, preparing to transport materials and personnel to the foreigners to inflict heavy losses on the locality." Wang Hu Dao.
The 700,000 army is divided into three routes, which can effectively prevent the rescue between the foreigners, and Wang Hu's opinion has been unified from top to bottom.
Before Chen Qifan arrived at the barracks, Wang Hu had already received a letter from the emperor, which instructed Wang Hu to hone Chen Qifan in this war, although Chen Qifan was known as the deputy marshal, but Wang Hu did not think of letting Chen Qifan command a large army, Wang Hu's plan was to let Chen Qifan accompany the army he commanded.
Rentian looked at Wang Hu's bloodshot eyes, Wang Hu, who was the commander of the whole army, must be exhausted at the moment, and Wang Hu, who had gray temples, could no longer hide his twilight, but Wang Hu could still be elected as the marshal, which shows that Wang Hu's strategy of marching and arranging the formation must be outstanding.
Chen Qifan's tent of six people was set up near Wang Hu's tent, although Chen Qifan didn't look like a person who could lead the army, but Wang Hu still wanted to fulfill the emperor's entrustment and let Chen Qifan receive some training in the army.
After two years of the war in full swing, it started as scheduled three thousand miles away from the territorial waters of the Huangfang State, and every moment as the commander of the whole army, there are urgent texts that need to be reviewed by Wang Hu, and in general, Wang Hu will choose to be reviewed by Chen Qifan, and the five people of Rentian who guarded Chen Qifan's side also took advantage of this to learn a lot of war strategies. Rentian knew why some countries wanted to start wars, while others wanted to stop wars.
The first five days of the battle, the resistance encountered by the three-way army was relatively small, and the foreigner country pressed the main force in the rear city, preventing it from being suddenly encircled and suppressed by the army of the imperial fang country without warning.
The army advanced all the way, and during the march, Chen Qifan said: "Rentian, I used to think that it was the front-line soldiers who really suffered during the march, but now it seems that being the commander is also very intolerable, and I have to watch many soldiers die every day, which is more uncomfortable than fighting on the front line." ”
Hearing Chen Qifan's words, Ren Tiandao: "To be the commander, they are all people who survived from the pile of thousands of corpses, and the really tragic battle is still in the rear city of the foreigners." ”
Rentian's words are probably not wrong, in the four siege battles carried out in the past five days, the number of soldiers of the Imperial Fang Kingdom was about 30,000, and the number of foreigners who were slaughtered was also about 30,000, and there were 320,000 foreigners waiting for them in the city in the rear.
After a night of running, Rentian's army finally rushed to a large city occupied by foreigners before dark, and the intelligence collected through Guò showed that this big city had at least 150,000 foreigners, and it was the most powerful city of foreigners stationed in the land of Huangfang, and this siege battle was a duel between Huangfang and foreigners in the real sense.
The fireworks lit by the Huangfang ** camp are all over the open field, and from the sky, it looks like an endless stream of red sè flames, separated from the red sè flames, and the city occupied by foreigners is also brightly lit.
In the marshal's tent, Wang Hu convened the generals overnight to discuss the siege of the Ming rì, everyone in the coming moment of the war, the heart suddenly felt depressed, when asked about the siege of the Ming rì what is the best plan to offer, everyone was speechless, Wang Hu can only explain the tactics in his heart to everyone, in the case of the main force of the two armies, in addition to relying on the strength of the hard-hitting, as the commander of the whole army Wang Hu is also difficult to come up with a clever plan.
At the end of the meeting to discuss the siege of the city, just as Wang Hu was about to let everyone go back to rest, Rentian, who was sitting quietly in the corner, suddenly said loudly: "Marshal, my subordinates want to explore the foreigner city at night. ”
"Exploring the city at night, what do you mean?" Wang Hu looked at Rentian and said thoughtfully.
Rentian's words made all the battle-hardened generals present wonder, the big city occupied by foreigners had soldiers patrolling all night with torches in their hands, and even if Rentian wanted to make some ideas, it would be difficult to sneak into the big city.
"If I can, I want to explore the foreigner city at night and take the foreigner level." Rentian Dao.
Hearing Rentian's voice again, everyone's faces couldn't help but be moved, if it weren't for Rentian wearing a suit of armor, everyone would still think that Rentian was a chivalrous man who had just broken into the tent by mistake, and his brain was full of blood, ready to do senseless stupid things with an impulse.
Wang Hu Ke didn't have the same thoughts as others, the five Rentian people who followed Chen Qifan were definitely not ordinary people, and they could take a dangerous step in such a grim form, and no ordinary person could say it.
