Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cannes is blocked

"Report! Wang, General Wei Zhan's Rin Yan army was accidentally outflanked by three roads when sweeping away the remnants of Qianwanli, and now the army is scattered, and General Wei is nowhere to be found, and his life and death are unknown! ”

King Ming, who was discussing government affairs with his ministers, instantly got up from his chair and couldn't believe what the soldier said.

The ministers present were also incredulous.

When did this little former Wanli have such a strong army?

"Didn't it come back a few days ago, why is the war so disadvantaged all of a sudden?"

The soldier who delivered the message explained: "Originally, General Wei did repel the enemy army and pushed the battle line forward, but this time when he was recuperating in front of the line, he was suddenly besieged from behind on three sides at night. After that, no one saw General Wei's people anymore. ”

"Where is the former Wan Li attacking now?" King Ming hurriedly asked.

"When I got the news, I had already crossed the river."

Linhe is located in the west of Zixi, between the Qishan where the former Wanli lived, and separated nearly one-eighth of the territory of Zixi.

In other words, in just over half a month, the army of the former Wanli has already fought over one-eighth of the land.

"And who's resisting now?"

"The enemy army has broken through many city walls, all the way to the east, and only the local army that is being attacked is resisting, but the former Wanli is menacing, and there are less than 3,000 troops in the place alone, I am afraid it will ......."

The situation is critical, it goes without saying.

King Ming was a little dizzy for a while, and sat back in his chair.

"How's that okay?"

"Why is Wan Li suddenly so brave before?"

"General Wei doesn't know where he is, whether he is dead or alive......"

Some people lament the fate of the old general, some people are worried about the fate of the country, and some people stand up to solve the problem.

"Your Majesty, please let the last general lead the Seeking Frontier Army to the battlefield. The situation is critical, and no matter who comes forward, it will stop the momentum of Qianwanli. Now, all the generals have something to do, except for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn around for a while. ”

"Father, I am willing to go to war. This battle is a fateful battle between our son and the former Wanli, not only to reverse the defeat, but also to completely annihilate the remnants of the former dynasty. I went to battle with General Ning, first, to facilitate the deployment of troops from various places along the road, and second, to boost morale. After this battle, the land of my son will no longer be trampled by him! ”

The Mifeng army set off the next day, accompanied by the crown prince Shishu.

Qu Mingli also saw the strength of Ning Zeqing's main army for the first time this time. The army after the battlefield is really different, there is not much noise on weekdays, and the march is very calm, and the face is resolute, which has never been seen in any army in the DPRK and China.

Rushing to the front line day and night, the former Wanli army moved eastward a little.

Foreseeing this situation in advance, Kangchengdi cut thick wooden trunks outside the city gate, buried iron nails in the ground, blocked the men and horses from advancing, and besieged the city for three days, sending people to stand on the city wall every day to shoot rockets, so hard to hold on, and finally waited for reinforcements to arrive.

After settling in Kangdi, before they had a moment of rest, Ning Zeqing and Shi Shu came to learn about the battle situation with General Shen.

General Shen took out a map, pointed to a place not far from Kangdi, and said: "The enemy army is gathering under the line and an empty county town outside the main official road, and I saw the enemy army in the previous confrontation, about 15,000 people. ”

"Fifteen thousand?"

General Shen nodded: "It is said that there were less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but somehow, the war has been fought for a long time, and they have more and more soldiers and horses." ”

It's so weird. In general, the more dense the battle, no matter how well the battle is, there will always be some losses among the soldiers, how can there be more and more soldiers and horses?

Ning Zeqing frowned, and his fingers were drawn around the small county town: "What is the terrain here, what is the breakthrough?" ”

General Shen shook his head: "The terrain of this county is extremely gentle, if you want to make a surprise attack, I am afraid that it will be discovered soon." ”

"Is there any hiding place where a small army can take cover and test the military situation?"

General Shen still shook his head: "When this county town was breached, I suddenly saw this army outside the city, and before I had time to prepare for it, the enemy army entered the city. Half an hour later, I ......"

"Half an hour? Isn't there even a basic defense? Ning Zeqing asked.

General Shen also regretted: "This county town was originally a remote place, and I didn't pay much attention to these military defense matters, so it was occupied in half an hour." The homeless people are scattered and have nowhere to call home. I've taken some of them in the city. ”

"Can you take a detour and attack it from the side? On the sly. He can surprise and so can we. ”

"Still not." General Shen pointed at the connection between Kangdi and the small county town, "This place is connected to the county seat, and it is also flat land, and there are too many obvious goals. The road is tortuous, and if you go forward with the army, I am afraid that it will not take long to detour. This book is a high mountain, and it is even more difficult to cross. ”

Ning Zeqing quickly thought about the technique of attacking the enemy, but he couldn't find the slightest plan against the enemy on the sketchy map.

"If you can't, you'll have to face the enemy head-on."

"But the enemy seems to have some secret weapon that no one knows. He has advanced all the way from the west to here, and it will not be easy to lead the general. If you attack rashly, I am afraid that it will be easy to fall for his tricks. ”

For a time there was an impasse.

Qu Mingli stared at the map from the side, as if he thought of something.

"Isn't this a small town outside Bi'an Village?" Qu Mingli pointed to a small dot on the map.

Ning Zeqing, Shi Shu and Ban Fei hurriedly looked at the place he pointed, and there was a small word "Lou Zhen" written on it as thin as ants.

"The town where I went to buy books for Fugui before was indeed called Lou Town!" Ban Fei said happily.

Shi Shu looked at it carefully for a moment: "If it is distributed according to the strength of the feet and various places, it is almost inseparable from Bi'an Village." ”

General Shen didn't know about their old affairs and asked, "Where is Bi'an Village?" ”

"General Shen has lived here for a long time, don't you know that there is a village named Bi'an next to here?"

General Shen shook his head.

"That's going to be easy." Qu Mingli smiled and pointed on the map, "Bi'an is surrounded by mountains, but it is a low mountain, which can not only block the footsteps of the march, but also effortlessly. If you can go around the back of the county from here, you can also make a surprise attack. ”

Everyone is still unclear: "Bi'an is still in the middle of the attack between the two sides, how can he go around behind him?" ”

Qu Mingli continued: "That day, I helped Aunt Niu go up the mountain to pick peaches, I accidentally found a mountain crevice, and I passed through it with curiosity, and found that the end of the secret passage of this mountain crevice is the official road, which should be here on this map. ”

Qu Mingli pointed to the official road on the map, which had extended to a later part of the county seat.

"If we can march from here, we may be able to make a breakthrough. It's just that the road is narrow, and it only leads to one person at a time, and it will take some time for the army to pass through it. At this time, he was noticed by Qian Wanli, and he fell short. Qu Mingli said worriedly.

Ban Fei's eyebrows were a little unbearable: "If this is the case, the village will be involved......

The four of them were silent for a moment.
