Chapter 374: Seven Waters Attack
"So their attitude just shows that they don't think much of us in a short period of time, right?" Li Jiayi asked.
"That's right," Wang Hao said with a slight smile, "That's what I think, so do I need to care about their attitude?" Such an attitude of theirs is equivalent to a statement, and with such a statement, we can implement my plan generously! ”
"But was it a little too hasty for you to agree to their terms just now?" Li Jiayi asked again.
"They have no sincerity at all in such conditions, especially the last point, they still want to disarm us, I really don't know how long their supreme commander's brain is, with such a brain, it is really a bit unbelievable that they can develop the rebels to such a point! It's just that they come out with such conditions, and we agree to it, anyway, what we need is just a period of growth, and it is in our interests to temporarily make up for it, and who cares about their conditions at that time, besides, what do you think, how likely are the rebels to dominate the world? Wang Hao looked around at everyone and asked.
Seeing that everyone was pondering, Wang Hao continued: "If it was before, I have to admit that the probability of the rebels destroying the official army is still very high, but the current situation is different, and a new variable has been added to the power of the aborigines. To tell you the truth, I am personally very optimistic about the Seven Water Army led by Mu Bo, don't look at their strength is the weakest now, but his personal strength has reached a very terrifying realm. This alone may not be qualified to win the world, but how many generals in the entire Great Xia Empire are from his disciples? If you add the influence of the god of war Mugo, it is no exaggeration. More than half of the high-ranking generals of the Great Xia Empire were from the disciples of their father and son, and Mu Bo did not say anything. Once you raise your arms and shout, the appeal you can exert is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine! ”
"Is it really that powerful?" Li Jiayi asked.
"If it is true, it is as the lord said. I'm afraid it won't be long before the pattern of the Great Xia Empire will change a lot! At that time, what kind of strength can our town reach, and how to expand its power as much as possible while the troubled times are not over, is the most important question we need to consider next! Guo Da said.
"So, without further ado, Lao Huang, you will command the 5,000 army, and you must take the two towns controlled by the official army within half a month!" Wang Hao's face turned whole and ordered.
"Subordinates obey!" Huang Zheng hurriedly got up and answered.
"Good luck with you!"
……
The next day. Huang Zheng set out with a large army, and Wang Hao also embarked on a journey to Qishui.
This time he didn't take anyone with him, with his current strength, he wouldn't encounter any danger at all when he went out alone, and it was cumbersome for others to follow him, and it was better for him to travel alone.
It has been clarified before that the base camp of the Qishui Army is located in Tanshui City of Qishui County, and Danshui City is the seat of the county administration of Qishui County, so it is logical to choose the location of the base camp.
It is not close from Taoyuan Town to Tanshui City. If you take the land route, it will take at least half a month, but if you take the water route, you can save at least three or four days. Thereupon. The water snake, who was very familiar with the waterways of Qishui County, naturally became Wang Hao's full-time boatman, starting directly from the wharf of Taoyuan Town, and carrying Wang Hao all the way south along the Mihe River. It then merges into the Hongjiang River and goes east along the Hongjiang River. It took seven days to return to land.
The place where Wang Hao got off the boat was already the closest place to Tanshui City. If you continue to walk on the waterway, you have to go around in a big circle, but the gains outweigh the losses.
On the second day after Wang Hao landed, Li Jiayi came with the news that Huang Zheng led the army all the way forward and successfully attacked Wufang Town to the east of Shangzhong Town.
According to Li Jiayi, the battle was more difficult than expected, first, under the attack of the rebels, the officers and troops retreated step by step, and the strength of the defenders of Wufang Town was strengthened to a certain extent, and second, this time Huang Zheng led the army to attack in a dignified manner, and did not deliberately avoid it, and in fact, the dispatch of the 5,000 army does not mean that secrecy can be kept secret, and it is even impossible to rule out whether there are other spies among the 5,000 troops.
Although the battle was a little harder, the defenders of Wufang Town finally collapsed under the powerful offensive of the Taoyuan army regardless of casualties. In order to break the opponent's will to resist, Huang Zheng left one side of the city wall and did not attack, giving the other party a way to retreat. So, after a hard battle, almost a quarter of the officers and soldiers retreated through the gate that had been set aside.
Huang Zheng did not arrange someone to pursue, on the one hand, there was no cavalry, it was difficult to catch up with the other party, on the other hand, the Taoyuan army in this battle was also very heavy casualties, in order to maintain the situation in Wufang Town, it was not appropriate to divide troops to continue the pursuit.
After this battle, Huang Zheng had to take a temporary break. Although the army had set the resurrection points of all the soldiers to Shangzhong Town before attacking, it would take so much time to wait for those resurrected soldiers to return to Wufang Town to reorganize the team, after all, it would take so long, fortunately, Wang Hao had asked to take the two towns within half a month, and there was still some time before the deadline arrived.
No matter how difficult the battle is, it is always a happy thing to have successfully taken Wufang Town. It's just that according to the current situation, it seems that it is much more difficult to take down the Sanlin Town than to take the Wufang Town. However, Wang Hao was outside, and he didn't have the heart to care about that, he believed that Huang Zheng would complete the task beautifully, and he didn't need to bother too much. Through Li Jiayi, he expressed his condolences to Huang Zheng and the soldiers who were fighting on the front line, while he himself continued to want to advance in Tanshui City.
However, a subsequent piece of news forced him to adjust his plan again.
According to the latest news, the Seven Water Army has sent troops again! The target of this attack was no longer Taoyuan Town, but the official army.
Wang Hao believes that with Mu Bo's character, once the Seven Water Army goes out, it will be Mu Bo himself who will command the army, and no one is more suitable to serve as this commander than him. As long as he is there, the Qishui army will not be hindered by defense at all, not to mention that no one can resist his bravery, let's just say that many officers and generals along the line were originally trained by Mu Bo himself, so it is strange that effective resistance can be formed!
Facts have proved that when Wang Hao adjusted the direction and continued to move forward for two days, new news came, the Qishui army was like a bamboo, and the officers and troops were in the wind along the way, and the officials and troops were in the bag of a county without any effort.
