Chapter 354: The Six-Way Siege
Light gray clouds obscured the evening sun, there was no wind in the white city, there was no figure on the streets covered with soft snow, and in Xiping City, where a strict curfew was imposed, there was only the occasional passing winter crow, which made a quack.
Suddenly, in the direction of the teleportation circle, there was a roar, and in the sound of gurgling wheels, a gorgeous carriage appeared on the bluestone street, and then, one after another, the carriage drove into the street and galloped forward.
Even though the sky was dim, the fluorescence of magic still faithfully outlined the outlines of the emblems and banners.
On the speeding carriage, there are long-established family coats of arms, the status plates of the nouveau riche of the empire, the magic battle flags of the leading generals, and the status of the prominent officials.
Soon, the entire Xiping City was boiling, and at the same time, in the Xiping Company camp outside the city, carriages also rushed out and went straight to the city gate.
From a bird's-eye view of the sky, the glowing flags, the fluorescent family crests, and the bright and bright guard of honor converge at the same time to a common destination, that is, the central square of Xiping City, the seat of the city lord's mansion.
The frames and flags finally converged into the square.
The Earth Bear of the Grand Duke of Yanguo, the Bagua Yin and Yang of the Grand Duke of Korea, the Sunrise East of Dongyang Academy, and even the Tower of the Moon in Alchemy City and the Golden Yang Cross respected by the mages of the Academy also appeared in the sky above the square.
Behind the glorious banner and the glorious family crest of the scholars, there are cascading small flags arranged like clouds, square flags, conical flags, pennants, swallowtail flags, and almost all the flags that can be found in the Five Elements Continent, all gathered in this small square.
One by one, the famous figures stepped out of the carriage, bathed in the glorious light of the banner and led by the attendants. Enter the castle lord's mansion in Xiping City.
The top-level military conference related to the future direction of the entire Five Elements Continent slowly kicked off here.
Under the guidance of Ye Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, there have long been settled topics. Soon the cutscenes were completed and a consensus was reached.
After the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War read out a high-spirited rebellious text. On the spot, he gave the final military decision and marching subordinates to the generals attending the meeting.
“…… In short, the final plan of my Five Elements Great Empire to conquer the rebellion of the wild boar Ze adheres to the will of the great emperor Xià: transfer troops and send generals, plow the court and sweep the holes! ”
"In order to better demonstrate the power of heaven and deter the barbarians, my Five Elements Great Empire will be based on the two camps of Xiping City and Dongning City. A total of six soldiers and horses were set up, and 600,000 troops were dispatched to attack the wild boar Ze and directly smash the swampy city of Uros. ”
"The first way, led by Du Rubai, out of Xiping City, straight into Uros;"
"The second way, led by Zhou Ruoshan, went out of Xiping City, and took the Black Wind Trail to the north. After capturing the Dawangzhuang military fortress and resuming the traffic of the Yanhan Straight Road, he waved the army north. Attack Uros; ”
"On the third road, Lan Qingsong sent troops from Yandi North Yanbao and attacked Uros;"
"On the fourth road, led by Han Hu, march out of Dongning City to the west, and after seizing the hub of Lulong City and resuming the traffic of the Yanhan Straight Road, then move the army north to attack Uros;"
"Fifth Road. Master Zhang Tailai and Master Li Songming were responsible for leading the army and leaving Dongning City in the north. Cross the North Ferry and hit Uros directly; ”
"The last Sixth Route Army of the Southern Alliance. Led by the commander of the Ma Army, they will go north along the river after recovering the fortress of Zhujiangkou, and cooperate with Zhou Ruoshan of Dawangzhuang and Han Hu of Lulongcheng to encircle Uros. ”
Ye Hao, who is holding a staff, confidently points out the country on the magic map.
From east to west, along the line of the Black Wind Mountains, Wild Boar Ze is surrounded by six fiery red arrowheads, and in the north of Wild Boar Ze, there are even more mercenaries of the Beamon tribe in the Great Wasteland of Kobdo, serving as loyal allies of the Great Empire of the Five Elements.
Seeing that the carefully deployed battle plan had finally fallen from paper to reality, Ye Hao, who was conceited of his talents, couldn't help but raise his head arrogantly, and he took the eyes of the superior and glanced at the generals who knelt on the ground, full of ambition.
In fact, only the soldiers and horses of Xiping City are regarded by Ye Hao as the storage of sharp knives, the military prestige and solemn honor guard, coupled with Du Rubai's concubine and Zhou Ruoshan's wealth, so that the Lord Shangshu of the military department is extremely enjoyable at the same time, but also full of confidence;
As for the blind guy in Dongning City, he was used by Ye Hao as cannon fodder and soy sauce play, and while reducing the cost of supplies, he simply ignored it;
As for the blue and green pine part responsible for the northwest road, it is self-contained because it climbs the high branches of the Grand Duke of Yanguo;
But among all the deployments, the most satisfying stroke of genius for Ye Hao has to be said to be the arrangement of the Southern Coalition Army-Lord Shangshu of the Military Department, who will be repaid by Jianwei, will seize the opportunity and naturally will not let go of his old opponent in the past.
In fact, the commander of the Ma Army, who commanded the Southern Coalition Army, is even on the road at the moment!
Even if the Southern Coalition Army by sea can capture the fortress at the mouth of the Zhujiang River, the march route at this moment is not only the longest, but also completely interspersed in the enemy-occupied area, and it will not be able to obtain any supplies from the Great Empire at all.
But at the moment when the war was coming, in the conference hall of Xiping City, in the solemn color of this faction, Ye Hao was sure to be able to hold Ma Lu, so that he couldn't say anything about his suffering.
So, the commanders of the six roads with different expressions began to step forward one by one to receive orders-
Du Rubai and Zhou Ruoshan, the two commanders, were full of spirit and vigor when they received the order;
The blue green pine that has just climbed the high branch of Yan Guogong is also full of vigor and spirit;
But then Han Hu was as white as paper, his hands were like sifting chaff, and the six gods had no owner;
As for Master Zhang Tailai, who was standing in a group of generals, he was even more disdainful, but his brows were deeply locked;
In the end, the commander of the Ma Army, who had a calm face, walked out: "Ye Shangshu, our department is in urgent need of sea ships, and within the time limit, it will definitely not be able to reach the Zhujiangkou fortress, in addition, how to arrange the marching supplies of our department?" ”
Ye Hao's eyes rolled to the sky and said, "Boat, there will be!" As for supplies...... Hum! The barbarians of the wild boar people and the like are small, and when they see the heavenly soldiers of my Five Elements Great Empire coming, they will be scattered, and your supplies will naturally be raised against the enemy! ”
When he was young, Ma Lu was jealous with Ye Hao, and the two had a quarrel since then, fighting for a lifetime, and finally Ma Lu was released to lead the troops, and Ye Hao climbed all the way to the high position of the secretary of the military department.
Ye Hao bullied people, seeing Ma Lu eating deflated, his heart was like honey, sweet and sweet, he kept cursing Ma Lu, it is best to meet the wild boar people who are strong and clear, and simply starve to death in the wilderness and in the wilderness.
"Ye Hao, you are a communiqué personal vendetta! Trap me in injustice! You wolf ambition guy wants my life! Ma Lu was also a bachelor, so he let it go out at that time, and loudly reprimanded him in front of Yan Guogong and Han Gong.
"Presumptuous!" Ye Hao was suddenly annoyed: "You dare to disobey the holy decree?" ”
Although Ma Lu has a gritted teeth, on the table, who dares to resist the disrespect?
So this fierce and short-lived resistance was over, in the contemptuous eyes of Lord Shangshu of the military department.
When the generals left the meeting hall, Du Rubai just walked outside the door, and then took Lan Qingsong's hand and said, "Brother Lan, take a slow step!" ”
"What advice does Brother Rubai have?" Lan Qingsong had a surprised expression on his face.
Although Lan Qingsong is as famous as Du Rubai and Zhou Ruoshan, and is respected by the world as the three pillars of the Northland, he was born at the grassroots level, but he has never intersected with Du Rubai and Zhou Ruoshan, the sons of the family, and even has no contact with him on weekdays.
Du Rubai showed a friendly smile and said: "Brother Lan Xian, don't dare to teach me, but this time I sent troops, but for my brother, I have to rely on the force of Brother Xian, go, go to my side, let's talk while drinking." ”
Seeing that Du Rubai was flattering, and the blue and green pine that had just climbed the high branches, he naturally pushed the boat and reciprocated the peach, and the two army commanders instantly became brothers in life and death at the wine table.
"Brother Lan Xian, everyone in the world calls you and me the three pillars of the Northland, but in the eyes of the brother, you, a pine in the Northland, are the pillars of the sky, and the brother is just following the light."
"There, there, Brother Rubai praised it falsely, and he followed the pillars of the Du family and took advantage of it."
Although Lan Qingsong's face was flushed from drinking, and his mouth and nose were fragrant, his mind was very clear.
In the Northland, no one in the Du family knows about it, and no one knows it.
It is said that Du Rubai's father, who has just passed away, has served three generations of the Grand Duke of Yanguo, and was later posthumously named Wei Yuanbo, which can be described as a powerful party.
Speaking of today's wild boar rebellion, the reason why the scale is so big is not unrelated to the Du family's self-respecting strategy of raising thieves.
Lan Qingsong and Du Rubai are not familiar with each other, although this wine is comfortable, but he does not dare to answer at will - if today's incident spreads, I am afraid that the protégé of the Du family will be able to eat him alive, a grassroots "upstart".
But Du Rubai over there laughed and said: "Brother Lan Xian, don't refuse, I came to you this time, just to say that this pioneer's work in breaking the enemy belongs to Your Excellency." ”
"The vanguard of the enemy!?" Lan Qingsong's face changed at that time, and he exclaimed, "Such a great achievement, does Your Excellency really not want it?" ”
"There is a way to attract the wind!" Du Rubai chuckled with a wine glass: "Today's situation is a golden opportunity to create a career, I am willing to wave the flag for the virtuous brother, I don't know, do you dare to enter Uros first and behead the bandit leader of the old wild boar?" ”
Lan Qingsong was already hot-tempered, and when he was drinking here, he was eager to make contributions, how could he let go of the opportunity to make a steady progress, so he immediately responded: "Since Brother Rubai is interested in the beauty of adults, then I will write down this love." ”
Lan Qingsong, who was arrogant and dry, picked up the big wine bowl and raised it at Du Rubai, and raised his head to make a glass of wine.
In fact, this time, the six-way army surrounded Wild Boar Ze, with the northwest road of Lanqingsong and the Xiping road of Du Rubai, which was the closest to Uros, and had the best chance to get the first merit of breaking the enemy.
At this moment, with Du Rubai's promise, Lan Qingsong, who was in a good mood, regarded the first merit of conquering wild boar Ze as a bag, so this wine banquet was completely drunk and enjoyed by the guests and hosts. (To be continued)
