Not to mention that Ye Teng and Huang Zhong carried out a variety of sniping attacks on the official road in the south of the city, so that the elite of the 100,000 Japanese pioneers advanced for more than 100 miles after half a month, and the personnel losses were close to half, which was almost up to the seppuku standard set by Miyazaki Hirotake.

Maruyama was overwhelmed, but he was at a loss, so he could only order his subordinates to continue to resist the sniping of the Zhenbei Army and advance regardless of casualties.

Speaking of the prefecture-level player military general Miura Eisuke, he led 6,000 high-level special troops and 80,000 intermediate-level special troops to return from the front line close to the Chinese border overnight, risking countless three-dimensional sneak attacks from the air, ground and underground on the way, and by the time he saw the national border, it had been a full fifteen days.

"Check the map to see if you made a mistake this time!" Hidei Miura's assistant pointed to the border ahead and said to his lieutenant general, Hiroshi Watanabe.

"Hey! Checkmate. Watanabe Yangren took out a map, looked at the surrounding terrain for a while, and said, "General, it should be right, the map shows that about 100 miles across the border, it is Guangye County." ”

"Roaring, this time it's finally the right one!" Hideno Miura breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's the right way, like us, there are not many armies in the world that can risk death to walk back and forth in the wilderness!" Yoto Watanabe laughed at himself.

Eisuke Miura nodded silently.

In just over a month, they completed the march that no one had ever done before.

First, they crossed the border and tried to rush to China, and when they were about to reach the border of China, they rushed back at the risk of death, and before they knew it, they lost three or four percent of their combat strength.

Despite the day and night journey, enduring all kinds of dangers in the wilderness, and a large number of casualties, the journey that could have been completed in eleven or twelve days took a full 15 days. The main reason is that from the old wilderness road they had traveled before, they detoured to the west side of Guangye County, and there was no ready-made map, so they made mistakes many times and paid a lot of sacrifices.

Half a month has passed, and there are still more than 5,000 high-level special troops left, and more than 20,000 middle-level special troops have been sacrificed, and now there are less than 60,000 left.

Thinking about it, Eisuke Miura admired the commander of the invading army Kuno Twenty-nine, how could he so accurately estimate the troops lost on the way? Miura clearly remembers that the order given by the base camp to the front line is to transfer 5,000 high-level special troops and 60,000 medium-level special troops.

There are still 100 miles away from Guangye County in front, and the soldiers are tired, and they will not be able to complete the order of the base camp to capture Guangye County in half a month no matter what.

"Let's stop and rest for a while! Send scouts to Guangye County, don't startle the snakes, and return when you see the enemy! "Eisuke Miura finished the order, turned over and dismounted, anyway, it was too late, not a day or two.

The siege of the city is a difficult task, and it is not suitable for exhausted soldiers who have been trekking in the wilderness for half a month in a row.

…

It is more than ten miles outside the city in the west of Guangye County.

The ground is full of green grass, and the wide plains are dotted with a few large trees.

Two patrols of the Zhenbei Army were crossing back and forth, as if everything was normal.

A scout leader of the Wa Kingdom, with more than a dozen elite scouts, looked around, searched all the way, and slowly approached Guangye County.

Vaguely seeing the city wall of Guangye County and the scouts of the Zhenbei Army patrol, he hurriedly gestured for everyone to bow down, and used the cover of the grass to quietly retreat.

It wasn't until he confirmed that he had withdrawn from the patrol's field of vision that the scout leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Withdraw!" ”

Seeing the silence of the four fields, only a few occasional cicadas and birds, I sighed in my heart: Fortunately, I was not discovered by the enemy!

As everyone knows, on a big tree not far in front of them, a small colored flag rises from the top of the tree; After a while, on a large tree closer to the city, there was also a colorful flag, which was slowly raised.

The scouts of the Wa Kingdom are on the flat ground, and it is difficult to find, and the scouts of the northern army in the canopy observe the enemy's situation and deliver news.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the Japanese will attack from the direction of the western border. Even Guo Jia's defense is only against this one direction.

However, how to lure the enemy into the hub and fight an ambush battle against sneak attacks is a technical job.

Guo Jia's idea was to find out when the enemy was coming, but not to let the enemy know that the Zhenbei army had discovered them, which was the premise of this battle.

So, he came up with a strategy to observe the enemy from the canopy, pass on the message, and use the patrol to scare the enemy away. The patrol was deliberately kept patrolling back and forth in the southern direction, with no eyes on the west, so that the Japanese scouts would mistakenly believe that they had not been discovered.

It seems that this strategy has achieved initial success.

…

When Cai Hui pushed the door in, he sent a letter as Guo Jia usually did, still standing against the wall, trying to figure out the maps.

Since arriving in Guangye County and handing over the defense to the military division, the military division has become more cautious and diligent, and it is not at all like the casual and idle appearance when he was in China.

In fact, Cai Hui can also understand the pressure on his shoulders. After all, the soldiers of the whole country and the lord who are about to face the Japanese state are not there, so the pressure is naturally great.

Walking behind Guo Jia gently, Cai Hui said in a low voice: "Military Master, I found the Japanese scout!" ”

Guo Jiahuo turned around and his eyes were blazing: "Does the enemy know that we have discovered them?" ”

Cai Hui said: "There shouldn't be, according to the report of the scouts in front, the scouts of the Wa Kingdom retreated slowly and lightly, and they shouldn't have found our scouts on the trees." ”

Guo Jia shook his right fist: "Okay!" Go and get all the major generals! ”

"No!" Cai Hui turned to leave.

After Ye Teng left, Cai Hui actually wore many hats, both as a substitute guard at the East Gate and Guo Jia's deputy, and also in charge of scouts.

……

After a while, Dian Wei, Cai Hui, Zhao Yun, Cao Xing, Wan Hao, Yan Ruoyu, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, Zhou Cheng, Huang Xu, Cai Shi and other generals arrived one after another!

Because Ye Teng has never clarified Yan Ruoyu's status as the master mother in front of Guo Jia and others, Guo Jia and others only maintain respect for Yan Ruoyu, and only treat her as an equal robe and general at work.

Seeing that everyone was arriving one after another, Guo Jia didn't talk nonsense, and stood directly in front of a large map of Guangye County, introducing the enemy situation and arranging the battle plan:

"At about nine o'clock this morning, about 20 miles outside the West Gate, there were Japanese scouts, and it can be basically concluded that the Japanese army has reached the vicinity of the national border.

"From the performance of the enemy scouts, it can be seen that the Wa Kingdom must be planning to raid Guangye County! The distance from the border to Guangye County is about 100 miles, and if the Japanese can seize the time, the sneak attack is likely to occur in the darkest hour before dawn tomorrow!

"Moreover, according to common sense, it is likely that the sneak attack is likely to be mid-level troops, or even high-level troops, if some of them can be eliminated, it will definitely reduce a lot of pressure on the subsequent defense of the city!

"Therefore, I order: Cai Hui, Zhao Yun, Cao Xing, and Wan Hao each bring 20,000 Beiwei troops, Dian Wei brings 5,000 iron eagle warriors, and some more arrows, bed crossbows, etc., to go out of the city and ambush together, according to the plan we originally deduced!"

"No!" Cai Hui and other generals received orders.

"Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Tai are guarding the four gates, depending on the battle situation ahead, and receive the soldiers who go to battle!"

"No!" Gao Shun and others received the order.

"General Yan Ruoyu, please be sure to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese people in the city, and do not let them cause chaos to threaten the safety of the city!"

"No!" Yan Ruoyu received the order, but said in a low voice: "General Dian went out of the city to fight, I intend to leave Huang Xu by the side of the military advisor to protect him!" ”

Guo Jia didn't want to agree, but when he saw Cai Hui and the other generals nodding in agreement, he nodded in approval according to everyone's wishes, anyway, it's not a big deal!
