Chapter 300: Armageddon (Part II)
Dividing the army into two parts, and dividing the first part of the army into three echelons, is a rare way to march, and the reason why it is deployed in this way is naturally to deal with Li Muzhi. Because Ji Qingchen knew Li Muzhi's talent in commanding troops, and knew that if he ventured into the army, he would be ambushed by Li Muzhi, so he would make such an arrangement. The advantage of this is that if you encounter an enemy with less than 50,000 people, with the combat power of 30,000 elite cavalry of Huanghuang Taiji, it is enough to annihilate them. If you encounter an army with more than 100,000 people, Xu Dachun's heavy cavalry following Huang Taiji will immediately support Huang Taiji, no matter how many enemy troops there are, the heavy cavalry and Huang Taiji's elite cavalry will only be destroyed. As for encountering more soldiers and horses, there are also Liu Qingqing and Wang Yin's 40,000 light cavalry, with Xu Dachun's heavy cavalry sprint, plus Huang Taiji's vanguard army, which is enough to have the strength of a battle.
And the reason why Ji Qingchen led the army to arrive later was because the army marched forward for three hundred miles, and it would definitely be sleepy and lacking in horses, and when the time came, Li Muzhi would wait for work, so he would march forward one by one.
Li Muzhi's Great Yan was second only to Bai Jin's existence, so Ji Qingchen didn't dare to underestimate him.
Just after Ji Qingchen, the general of the school field, issued the military order to set off, the 230,000 army was divided into the Liao Iron Cavalry in the north of Baixiang City as the vanguard, the dead cavalry battalion of Zuo Zongquan as the middle army, and the pattern behind the Beirong Iron Cavalry Palace, which was left behind, slowly began to march towards Feng County.
As soon as Ji Qingchen's army moved, Li Muzhi of Feng County got the news, and he also sighed after learning about Ji Qingchen's arrangements for the march of the two parts of the army.
Because he found that Ji Qingchen's current marching deployment was impeccable. It was no longer possible for him to send a large army to ambush halfway under this kind of deployment, so he could only wait for the arrival of Ji Qingchen's army in Fengxian County before fighting to the death.
Although he doesn't want to do this now, there is no way, if he doesn't fight Ji Qingchen, he will come to King's Landing, and if he wants to fight Ji Qingchen, he must do his best.
Other than that, there is no way!
A generation of famous generals had to fight the enemy because of their own overstretched troops, is this sad or unfortunate?
I guess no one can tell!
At this time, all the generals in the big tent had already arrived, but all the generals were silent, because they knew that their victory rate in this battle was not very large, because Ji Qingchen had more than 300,000 Beiliao and Beirong iron horsemen around him! But they had to fight, because they had no choice.
Just when the generals were silent, Li Muzhi's confidant Li Fangkou asked, "General, what should we do?" β
Li Muzhi did not immediately answer Li Fang's words, but glanced around at the generals in the big tent, with a little anger in his eyes, how could this group of people be cowardly before fighting? Could it be that Ji Qingchen is so powerful, and the people have already made them succumb before they arrive? However, he still suppressed his anger and asked Li Fang, "Wait and see!" β
Li Muzhi knew that it would take another day for Dao Ji Qingchen's army to arrive outside Fengxian County, and even if it was a decisive battle, it would take until tomorrow, and now was not the time for him to give orders in a hurry.
"This-" Hearing Li Muzhi say this, the generals in the big tent were a little unhappy.
Li Muzhi was the No. 2 person in the military before Dayan, and now Bai Jin Zhishi, he is the No. 1 person in the military, and the generals are very jealous of him.
But this does not mean that the generals have no opinion on him.
Before, Li Muzhi's army didn't do anything when they arrived in Feng County, so everyone couldn't bear to say anything, but now that Ji Qingchen's army is about to kill Feng County, Li Muzhi has not made arrangements yet, which has to make them guess in their hearts what Li Muzhi wants to do here? Could it be that he colluded with Ji Qingchen to make a scene here, and then take King's Landing City together?
Therefore, their faces showed dissatisfaction with Li Muzhi.
Because everyone present except Li Fang, they are all Ji Qian's henchmen, whether it is Yulin Cavalry or Xiao Cavalry Guard, they are all Ji Qian's people, and they will naturally think from Ji Qian's position when thinking about problems.
"General, the enemy is about to arrive in Fengxian, and the big war is imminent, but we won't do anything, it's not good!" Just when everyone was silent, one of the generals finally couldn't help but speak.
He was tall, dark-skinned, and looked like a tiger general.
"Yes, yes! You can't prepare nothing! β
"You can't underestimate the Northern Liao Iron Rider!"
"Northern Liao Wang Ji Qingchen is Li Qingyi's disciple, we can't despise him!"
β¦β¦
Because the first general took the lead in speaking, many generals also began to shout loudly.
Obviously, they all want Li Muzhi to make a move and be able to make a response, and they don't want to sit still like now.
Suddenly, the silent hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market, and the noise continued!
Seeing the loud noise of the generals in the hall, Li Fang couldn't help it, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but saw Li Muzhi stop him with color, Li Muzhi watched the generals quietly like this, and waited until the generals were noisy for a long time and didn't see Li Muzhi have anything to say, they stopped the noise and moved their eyes to Li Muzhi, and then Li Muzhi asked them, "Have you finished speaking?" So what do you think we should do now? β
When Li Muzhi asked the generals about this, his words were very plain, but the words contained a faint murderous aura, and when he heard these words in the ears of the generals, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't help but bow their heads in a low voice and dare not look at Li Muzhi.
Because when they saw Li Muzhi not speaking just now, they thought that Li Muzhi was afraid of them, so they got carried away, and now when they thought of Li Muzhi's identity and prestige in Dayan and his power, they realized how stupid they were just now, so they immediately closed their mouths with interest, Li Muzhi is now the commander of the army, and it is not easy for him to kill people?
"Let's talk about it! Tell me all about what do we do now? Li Muzhi smiled faintly and continued to open the door.
His smile was very gentle, but in the eyes of the generals, his smile had an extra killing intent, a killing intent that made their breath suffocate a little.
"Thisββ! General, we respectfully obey the name of the general, and please show the general! "It was the first general to speak just now, he was the chief general of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, he was a little bold, and he knew how to measure himself, and he knew what to say now.
"If you want to listen to the old man's words, just shut your stinky mouth, how can you fight with Ji Qingchen The old man has his own arrangements, if anyone dares to make noise again, don't blame the old man for being polite!" Li Muzhi said in a stern tone.
At this moment, he released the murderous aura on his body, and he immediately shocked the main general in the hall. made all the generals bow their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Then he softened his tone again and continued, "You all know that there are more than 300,000 Northern Liao elite horsemen around Lu Dao Ji Qingchen, and they are killing us with great momentum, how to deal with it with our troops, there is no other way to go except to fight to the death. But if you fight to the death, you must also have the courage and confidence to fight to the death, how can this courage and confidence come from? We have to create it ourselves. Now we don't have to do anything, just wait here quietly, waiting for Ji Qingchen's army, with the current disparity in strength between us, we can only decide to fight a battle, so what we don't do is more important than what we do, only in this way can the soldiers have the courage and confidence to fight to the death. β
"No!" The generals immediately received the order, and with Li Muzhi's reprimand just now, they didn't dare to disobey Li Muzhi's intentions now.
"Do you understand now?" Li Muzhi asked the generals lightly.
"Got it!" The generals replied.
"Then go down! Tomorrow, when Ji Qingchen's army arrives under Fengxian County, we will fight him to the death! Li Muzhi said awe-inspiringly.
"No!" The generals got up and strode away.
At this time, there were only two people left in the hall, Li Muzhi and Li Fang.
"General, do you really want to fight to the death with Ji Qingchen's army?" Li Fang asked Li Muzhi. He felt that now they could hold on to the city, even if Ji Qingchen's army would break through the city sooner or later, how could he say that it would delay a little time! If you really fight to the death, you will be able to tell the winner in a battle tomorrow, and with the combat effectiveness of the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, your own side will definitely be defeated!
"What, you have an idea?" Li Muzhi asked Li Fang.
Li Fang didn't dare to hide it, so she told Li Muzhi her thoughts. Li Muzhi didn't say anything after listening to it, but after pondering for a moment, he asked, "How much can we delay Ji Qingchen with this tactic?" β
"Half a month!" Li Fang replied in a firm tone.
"Do you know the news of Daoning Prefecture and Xizhou and Yizhou?" Li Muzhi asked.
"I know it!" Li Fang replied.
At present, these three states have been invaded by Liguo, Xishu and Lingnan Yi tribes, although this news has been blocked, ordinary people may not know the way, but for Li Muzhi and Li Fang and other generals, they were still notified at the first time.
"With this half a month, it may be that Liguo and Xishu and Lingnan Yi will capture Ningzhou, Xizhou and Yizhou, now is the time of national crisis, instead of fighting here, it is better to immediately send troops to these three states, and it is meaningful to fight with the enemy." Li Muzhi said, "But we can't afford to fight this battle with Ji Qingchen, so we can fight him a decisive battle earlier, and after the victory is decided, wouldn't it be better for us to decide whether to continue or go to Ningzhou, Xizhou and Yizhou, which were invaded by the Three Kingdoms?" β
"This-" After Li Muzhi said this, Li Fang himself was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Li Muzhi and Ji Qingchen would quickly seek a battle, in order to seek defeat, in order to give Ji Qingchen a big road to King's Landing, so that Ji Qingchen could successfully reach King's Landing City, get what he should get, and then make arrangements for the Three Kingdoms as soon as possible.
He used his defeat to pave the way for Ji Qingchen, and wanted Ji Qingchen to increase his aura through his defeat, and step on his body to step on the peak of power!
"General-" Thinking about this, Li Fang's nose was sour at this moment, and he said in a choked tone, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he was silent and quietly stared at Li Muzhi.
"What do you want to say, the old man knows the way, you don't have to say it, go down and rest, and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle!" Li Muzhi looked very open, and said in a flat tone.
"No!" Li Fang took the order and strode out of the hall.
