Chapter 970: Quietly Heading South
"Can you think twice and don't make such a decision lightly." Breaking Sky persuaded again.
"I've thought it clearly, it's up to you now, are you willing to support me?"
"I'm ......" Pokong frowned, not knowing what to do.
"In a word, if you are willing to support me, you will send troops with me. If not, I'm on my own. Night Dancing Snow's expression had become very angry, he didn't expect Breaking Sky to be timid.
"Xue, such a big decision, how can you say it? Su Hai and Fanyan are still on the front line? If we stab Jiang Feng in the back, Su Hai and Fanyan will definitely have an accident. ”
"Then you give the order now, and find any reason to summon them back. Moreover, the Battle of the Imperial Palace has basically ended, and if you recall them now, Jiang Feng will not doubt it. ”
"But ......"
"I'm going to discuss with Xia Yashuang now, you can help me gather the troops of Penn City first."
After Night Dance Snow finished speaking, she hurriedly went out, no matter how much she screamed in the air, it would be useless.
Po Kong kept sighing and frowning, but now it seems to be an arrow on the string, and he has to send it.
Penn City was established together with Breaking Sky and Night Dancing Snow, and it was the main base of the two. Later, Night Dance Snow developed south and established its own base camp in Yucheng.
Night Dance Snow has about 20,000 troops in Penn City and about 30,000 troops in Yucheng. That is to say, the number of troops mastered by Night Dance Snow alone is about 50,000, not including the troops of other small cities.
The number of troops in Pennsylvania is about 50,000, and the troops in other cities are about 50,000, scattered in various cities.
If the two really plan to use troops abroad, they must leave 30% of the troops stationed, that is, about 100,000 troops capable of action.
It will take a lot of time to urgently mobilize these troops, and Sima Yi's requirement is that the army must be reorganized within one day, which is very hurried.
While Po Kong was still struggling and considering, his deputy hurriedly ran into the office.
"Report, several regiment commanders of Night Dance Snow are mobilizing troops from Penn City, saying that they will be transferred to Yucheng first."
"It seems that Xue has made up his mind. You now prepare the various regimental commanders and prepare to transfer troops to Yucheng, especially the siege equipment. ”
"Yes."
After the deputy left, Pokong hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote a secret letter urgently recalling Su Hai and Sanskrit.
About thirty minutes later, a helicopter stopped at the eastern gate of Huizhou City.
Sima Yi had already been waiting in the city, and it seemed that he had already guessed that Night Dance Snow would come.
The two looked at each other and smiled, which meant that the two sides had reached a consensus.
"Let's go into the city and talk to each other." Sima Yi ordered the guards to open the small door, intending to let Ye Wuxue enter the city to discuss the details of the battle.
After a night of gathering, the troops of Sky Breaking and Night Dancing Snow have reached 80,000, and Xia Yashuang's troops have also reached 80,000. In the early morning of the next day, the troops of the three parties joined forces in the border counties of Huizhou and Penzhou, and marched to Yucheng together.
On the way to the march, Chu Ge's 20,000 cavalry blocked their way.
Faced with the sudden Chu Ge, Xia Yashuang and the others were a little at a loss.
Before, they hadn't received a positive reply from Chu Ge, and they didn't know what his attitude was. And now that he has suddenly arrived, and is leading extremely mobile cavalry, what is the purpose?
Xia Yashuang rode a war horse to Chu Ge: "Brother Chu, so your answer is?" ”
Chu Ge didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Xia, have you really thought it through?" ”
"Look at my battle, don't you seem to have thought it through? But you, what's the plan? ”
"Personally, I strongly disagree with going to war against Jiang Zhi's forces, but since the three of you have already made this decision, I can only let it go. I don't have many troops, 20,000 cavalry, at your disposal. After Chu Ge finished speaking, he threw the talisman to Xia Yashuang.
"What do you mean? You don't go into battle yourself? ”
"I have other things to do, I can't take a break for the time being, and I hope Brother Xia understands."
"Of course I can understand, when the city is broken, I will remember Brother Chu a great achievement."
"Don't leave it at that, we'll see you later." After Chu Ge finished speaking, he rode away.
In the evening, the 200,000-strong army arrived at Yucheng, the main base of Night Dance Snow.
Here, again, the three leaders deliberated.
Ye Wuxue took out a detailed geographical map of Hebei Province, and he gestured with his hand and said: "We continue to go south, and the first thing we pass through is Jinan City, which has about 10,000 defenders. I mean bypassing the city of Jinan, do you think there is the most suitable way to march. ”
Before Peicheng returned to the forces of the Jiang Dynasty, the city of Jinan had always been the key city of the Jiang forces in the northern province. At its peak, there were 500,000 civilians and 200,000 soldiers.
Such a high number of troops, if nothing else, is to beware of Xia Yashuang Night Dancing Snow and others.
After all, in the entire east of the river, only the northern province still has a large part of the territory that is not the power of the river.
Later, because of the eastward advance of Ao Lie's army, in order to save Wangcheng, the troops of Jinan City were transferred as much as 180,000, and all kinds of resources and most of the civilians were also transferred to Wangcheng.
In other words, the existing resources of Jinan City are not much, and in fact it is already an empty city, and there is no need to attack it. If it is attacked, it will make Jiangzhi's forces wary.
"National Highway 835 is wide, and the speed of marching can be greatly improved, but this national highway has a lot of guard towers of Jiangzhi's forces, and it is impossible to pass through it without knowing it." Breaking Sky said.
"That is to let the cavalry go first and raid the watchtowers along the road." Nightdance Snow suggested.
"If that's the case, it has to be fast enough to give the tower's signal men a chance to leave." Xia Yashuang said.
"Well, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one behind." Night Dance Snow said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I'm divining to ensure that not a single signal soldier can escape." Sima Yi said confidently.
"Fortunately, Chu Ge lent me 20,000 cavalry, and the number of cavalry in all of us has reached 80,000, which can quickly sweep the guard towers along the road."
"Without further ado, let's do it tonight."
After that, after just one night of raiding, dozens of guard towers on National Highway 835 were swept away.
An army of 200,000 marched southward, and Jiang Zhi's forces were still unaware.
In this way, the detailed map, coupled with Sima Yi's astonishing divination ability, broke the reconnaissance system of Jiang Zhi's forces and unknowingly headed south.
On the other side, the battle of the Imperial Palace was basically over, and although a small number of stubborn enemy troops had taken refuge underground, it did not hurt the overall situation.
Today, the Imperial Palace has officially changed hands, and tens of millions of gray civilians have been put under human rule.
Under Jiang Feng's orders, the human soldiers did not embarrass the gray people.
However, because of the war, there were many large gaps in the walls of the Imperial Palace, and the damage to the Imperial Palace was also very serious. To this end, a large number of gray men were used as laborers, carrying out work to repair the city walls, as well as work to rebuild key buildings, as well as to gather food.
Among them, the food problem is the biggest problem.
