In "Empire", although Chen Wu has not dealt with Ding Ziming, he has heard of his reputation.

Although this person's name has "self-knowledge", it can actually be described by a famous allusion to the world before the crossing - on paper! If you want to talk about talent, it seems that there are some; When it comes to the art of war, it is not bad compared with the generals who came out of those military families, but it is more exaggerated.

In contrast, Kang He, the brigade commander who commanded the 1st Garrison Brigade, was much more down-to-earth.

In terms of talent, Kang He is not as good as those famous generals of the empire, but he is better than leading troops in a solid and cautious manner. If he was the one who came to quell the rebellion, it would undoubtedly take a lot of effort to be fooled by the officials and soldiers.

But now......

Ding Ziming, who is conceited and has little actual combat experience, and has no theory of the art of war, is definitely the kind of general who is most easily deceived.

Secretly suppressed the joy in his heart and didn't mention it, and looked at the incense master who was still waiting for him to ask, Chen Wu groaned slightly, and continued to ask: "In addition to Ding Ziming of the Second Garrison Brigade, are there other military attaches accompanying the officers and soldiers?" ”

"After the official army got the official document, they once asked me to enter the account and inquire about the situation carefully." The incense lord recalled for a moment and said: "During this period, there was indeed a person sitting in the top position, and the brigade commander named Ding Ziming once called him 'Lord Lin'. In the barracks outside, his banner was also hung. I suspect he's ......"

"Lin Anluo!"

Without waiting for the incense master to say it, Chen Wu firmly preemptively said the name.

This person is the nominal supreme military governor of the county town of Wu'an, and the only protector general in Taiping County. From this surname, you can know that he is the Lin family of the Eight Great Lords. But what many people don't know is that Lin Anliu is not the real Lin family, but a name that was changed after his surname was added. Because of his talent, the Lin family invested a lot of resources in him and pushed this rich son-in-law to the position of the general of the Taiping County Protector.

Although it is only a periphery, he can be regarded as a person with a lot of status in the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, Governor Qian Boming really attached great importance to the situation on the side of Longshan. It was not enough to send a whole brigade and half of the cavalry, even the general of the Lin family's escort army personally went out.

I just don't know, is there a meaning of the Lin family behind this?

As a family that is highly suspicious of the Empire, they have always thought a lot about what they do. Or, do you just feel that this counterinsurgency is nine out of ten, and let Lin Anluo come over to gild?

The identity of the Lin family is unattainable for others, but for Chen Wu, even the empire dares to rebel, not to mention the surname of an eight-gate valve. The only thing he was a little worried about was whether this person's existence would have an impact on Ding Ziming and interfere with his plans.

After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Wu had a bottom in his heart.

………

Fourth day since the siege!

After three days of continuous assault, the siege of the Taiping Rebels and the Good Friends finally slowed down. Although it still seems that the people are still gathering and the drums are beating non-stop, it is more of a bluff. At the end of the day, there were only three or four attacks launched.

This kind of quiet change failed to hide from the officers and soldiers who defended the city in Longshan Mansion.

After a day of hesitation, Long Shan quickly guessed what he thought was the correct answer.

There is a saying in the art of war since ancient times, and it is exhaustive again and again. In the eyes of the official army, the reason why the offensive strength of the thief army outside the city has weakened is because it has used up the momentum of Lianxia Yicheng and Lushan in the previous three days of attack.

This news made all the officers and soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, in the face of the attrition of the army of displaced people at any cost, the physical fitness of the officers and soldiers has also dropped to a very dangerous level, and it is naturally better to rest for a few days.

As for taking the opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack?

Even the most optimistic about the future is not in the mind.

There are hundreds of thousands of displaced people outside!

If the officers and troops of Longshan Mansion hadn't lost most of their money before, they might have dared to find an opportunity to give it a try. Now after three days of fighting, the body of the official army has been exhausted, with more than 100 casualties, and even the defense of the city is quite difficult, and daring to go out to fight in the field is definitely looking for death. What's more, there are still many people in the government who suspect that the reason why the thieves have lowered their offensive intensity is actually to mislead the officials and soldiers and lure them to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

It is precisely with this judgment that the officers and troops of Longshan honestly squatted in the city. The strategy of defending to the death was to wait for the arrival of the officers and troops of the county town.

As long as they defend Longshan City now, they will have no merit and no fault, and they will not be able to take such a big risk.

No matter which aspect you look at, the response strategy of the Longshan official army is very safe. But what they don't know is that the rebels outside are really in a power vacuum.

Looking down from the city, the army of displaced people still can't see the edge at a glance, and there are thousands of people in the vastness. But in fact, Chen Wu had already taken advantage of the dawn when the sky was slightly bright, and transferred more than half of the brigades of the Volunteer Battalion and the four Taiping Battalions away. On the side of the Good Friends Association, more than 800 Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers were also taken away.

Of course, even so, there are still nearly a thousand rebels on both sides who can fight. Chen Wu has Xu Shizhong on his side; There is also Xiang Hua on the side of the Good Friends Association. With such two generals personally presiding, even if the officers and soldiers of Longshan Mansion took the initiative to go out of the city to seek battle after resting, it would be impossible to break through.

Blame can only be blamed, Chen Wu's battle in Yicheng pitted the Longshan officials and soldiers too miserably.

If there were 500 infantry troops and 100 cavalry in Longshan City, Chen Wu would definitely not dare to be so unscrupulous.

Then again, where was this elite, who was nearly 2,000 full, transferred?

………

Hongze River.

This river, which is about 400 kilometers long and flows into Daze County at its end, is a tributary of the Wei River, one of the largest rivers in the Qianyuan Empire, in Taiping County.

At this moment, a team of horses with a total number of about 100 people galloped over from a distance. If you look closely, you will find that the more than 100 heavily armed riders are faintly divided into two gangs, and they seem to be talking and laughing with each other, but in fact they are clearly distinguished.

These people are the Taiping Righteous Army and the high-ranking generals of the Good Friends Association who disappeared from the city of Longshan.

Among them are Chen Wu and Wang Huifang.

In addition to these people who single-handedly stirred up the situation in Longshan Mansion, the henchmen who left the camp with the two scouts a few days ago were also busy on the Anping Bridge in front of the horse team.

Their task was to destroy the Anping Third Bridge on the Hongze River.

These three stone bridges with an average length of about 100 meters are also sixty or seventy years old, and they were only renovated when the government renovated the post road not long ago. Their location happens to be on the road from the county town of Mu'an to Longsan. If all three bridges were destroyed, the officers and soldiers would have to either collect enough ferries to cross the river, or they would have to walk an additional fifty miles, or at least a day-and-a-half, upstream, before they could make a detour to Guò.

If they are not in a hurry, the officers and soldiers can rest in place and collect boats to cross the river little by little. But what if the officials and soldiers couldn't find a single boat, and it happened to be at this time that they received an urgent document that Longshan Mansion was about to be breached?

The Wu'an officers and soldiers who were eager to rush to help, unless they were willing to sit back and watch the fall of Longshan, could only take a shortcut to Longshan after a detour fifty miles upstream, instead of leisurely turning back to the opposite side of the broken bridge and continuing to take the official road. You must know that according to the normal pace of marching, this back and forth will have to travel more than 100 miles and be delayed for three whole days. But if you take a shortcut, you can save at least a day!

In the emergency situation of Long Son Province, there are too many variables that can occur in a day.

Chen Wu didn't believe that the official army could calm down!

Once they had chosen to take a shortcut, the fate of the officers and soldiers was almost doomed, as they would pass through a Jedi, the famous Xiayang Valley nearby.

The valley is long and narrow, about 100 meters high, and the sides are quite steep and difficult to climb.

As long as the rebels laid an ambush in advance, once the official army entered the canyon and pushed down boulders from both sides of the valley to seal the exit and retreat, Xiayang Valley would instantly become the death place and grave of the Wu'an official army. In "Empire", Xia Yang Valley was cheated by more than 10,000 players here because of the famous Fengyun Guild, which was ruthlessly disgraced, and was widely known on the forum.

Chen Wu also remembered this terrain because of this, and by the way, he inherited all the tricks used by the Fengyun Guild.
