Chapter 213: His Highness is in charge
In the battle of Zhuangcheng, although Zhao Wanqing failed to defeat Wu Jiawei to complete the task, the Qi army was defeated by the Wei and Chu coalition forces, and Wu Jiawei led his troops all the way back to Anyang, closed the city gate, and unilaterally put on a truce.
Zhao Wanqing naturally led 460,000 Qi troops back to Zhuangcheng to start a new tactical deployment.
With Jiang Chengyuan's support, Zhao Wanqing is simply going to be windy and rainy in the army, she just complained in one sentence before, the protective equipment such as cloth armor in the army is too simple, not as good as the equipment of the Wei Chu coalition army, these days Jiang Chengyuan ordered the military department to send new military supplies, and also asked the household department to allocate funds for the first time, and I don't know if there is a symbolic solicitation of Jiang Miaochen, the manager of the household department, and Jiang Miaochun, the little emperor of the Great Qi.
However, looking at the time and efficiency, he probably didn't have time to make these arrangements to coax his nephew.
In the past few days, the generals of the Japanese army shouted "General Zhao" one by one, and Zhao Wanqing seemed to have returned to the state of being in the Zhenguan army, but the Zhenguan army was her first batch of diehard troops, which was different from these two state armies that had different intentions from the beginning and were somewhat dissatisfied with her on the surface.
So Zhao Wanqing hasn't heard such a loud title for a long time.
"General Zhao!"
"Hello General Zhao!"
"General Zhao!"
“……”
Zhao Wanqing nodded as she walked: "Okay, good." ”
After inspecting the barracks all the way, Zhao Wanqing turned around: "Your Highness, you see that they are all in good spirits." ”
Jiang Chengyuan originally walked behind Zhao Wanqing with a cold face, but when he saw her looking at him expectantly, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Hmm." ”
Zhao Wanqing asked again: "Then can we fight?" ”
Her task, the task, has dragged on for half a month for less than ten days.
Jiang Chengyuan said: "If you think you can, you can." ”
Zhao Wanqing has often heard such words coming out of Jiang Chengyuan's mouth recently, she smiled and said, "Your Highness listens to me for everything now?" ”
Jiang Chengyuan: "Hmm. ”
Zhao Wanqing opened her hand: "Then carry me." ”
Jiang Chengyuan paused, turned around and walked back without hurry, and dropped a sentence: "This king will go back to the camp first." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Wanqing hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness is lying, you still listen to my ...... for everything"
Jiang Chengyuan didn't look back and knew that Zhao Wanqing would follow, so he continued to look ahead and walked forward, saying, "This king is saying that everything in the army will listen to you." ”
Zhao Wanqing was stunned, and then said, "But you didn't add a parenthesis to note this......"
She muttered all the way back to the camp with Jiang Chengyuan, and then she had to talk about business.
The map was spread out, Zhao Wanqing put the horizontal wood on a corner of the map as a fix, lowered her head and found the location of Zhuangcheng and Anyang on it, and said: "It hasn't been windy for the past two days." ”
The east wind that helped her win a game before has now stopped.
Zhao Wanqing said and turned her head to look at Jiang Chengyuan, looking troubled.
Jiang Chengyuan then reminded: "Is it necessary to have wind?" ”
Zhao Wanqing frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It is necessary to have the wind, otherwise just by relying on the divine fog canister to launch, once the poison gas spreads, maybe even the people on our side will be affected, the poison gas bomb team only has 20,000 gas masks, but with 20,000 soldiers alone, it will definitely not be able to break the Wei Chu coalition army in one fell swoop, if you can't suppress the enemy before the symptoms of poisoning recover, maybe it will become a defeated situation again." ”
Jiang Chengyuan answered: "And next time the Wei and Chu coalition forces will definitely be prepared." ”
His words seemed to wake up Zhao Wanqing, and Zhao Wanqing immediately slapped her thigh and said, "Yes!" If they also prepare anti-poison protective gear, wouldn't it be a waste of our poison powder? ”
Jiang Chengyuan showed a shallow smile and smiled without saying a word.
Zhao Wanqing blinked, she felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly grabbed Jiang Chengyuan's arm, shook it and said, "Your Highness must have a countermeasure, tell me, tell me......"
"Are you looking at the map?" Jiang Chengyuan asked.
Zhao Wanqing immediately turned her head to the map on the table, her eyes didn't matter if she was focused or not, anyway, she quickly turned her head back and said, "Look!" ”
"Then it should be adapted to local conditions." Jiang Cheng said from afar.
"How to ......" Zhao Wanqing was a little inspired, but because there was a faster way to get the answer, she lazily continued to make trouble with Jiang Chengyuan and said: "How to adapt measures to local conditions, Your Highness told me!" ”
Jiang Chengyuan hid a smile in his calm expression, he deliberately took Zhao Wanqing's hand down, and said: "Anti-gas protective gear is not something that can be made at will, even if it is simply replaced with cotton wool and cloth, it will not achieve the effect of blocking poisonous gases." ”
He paused, and Zhao Wanqing nodded heavily on the side: "Hmm!" Well! ”
Jiang Chengyuan had no choice but to continue: "Now that the enemy army is stationed in our Daqi, the transportation of military supplies and grass will naturally take more time, so you can also use a poisonous attack as soon as possible, they will inevitably deal with it in a hurry and cannot be cracked." ”
Zhao Wanqing continued to nod: "Hmm! Well! ”
Jiang Chengyuan looked at her: "Understood? ”
Zhao Wanqing nodded, and shook her head again: "It's still a little close." ”
Jiang Chengyuan said again: "The culture of Chu is strong in martial arts, and the average combat effectiveness of the Wei-Chu coalition army is indeed above us, but now they are holding their troops still, and even fortifying at the Anyang City Gate, it can be seen that they are still afraid of the power of the poisonous attack, but if they wait until the Wei-Chu coalition army takes the initiative to attack, it must be when they are fully prepared, and at that time, it will be a waste of your poisonous powder." ”
Zhao Wanqing had already begun to nod her head while listening, and when Jiang Chengyuan finished speaking, she asked, "Then why didn't His Highness tell me earlier that I was going to send troops?" ”
Jiang Chengyuan said: "This king said, now I will listen to you." ”
In the evening, Zhao Wanqing spread out a small map and studied it in the camp tent, and soon found that the terrain outside Anyang City was completely different from that outside Zhuangcheng, and the direction of Zhuangcheng to Anyang has always been a plain, and when he was about to reach the gate of Anyang, this large plain suddenly dropped a little shorter.
In other words, the city gate of Anyang seems to be forced to stand in the pit.
"No wonder the Wei and Chu coalition forces want to refortify." Zhao Wanqing muttered.
It is said that the city wall of Anyang is strong, but in fact, it is only externally, that is, the west gate of Anyang and Wenshui, and the east gate facing Zhuangcheng internally, leaving such a huge defensive hidden danger, which has not been solved.
Or, on purpose?
"Jiangbei." Zhao Wanqing immediately called the Jiang family brothers outside the camp tent in, and then said, "Let Li Bin come over." ”
"Yes, General."
The advantage of having a lieutenant is that you only need to sit and say a few words about all the arrangements, and he will arrange the rest.
So the next day, Zhao Wanqing led the troops to battle, and when there was still an absolute safe distance from Anyang City, she raised her hand to signal to stop the march.
Of course, the soldiers can't all see her hand, but they rely on the signal soldiers to wave their flags and dedication.
"General." Li Bin rode to the side, always waiting for Zhao Wanqing's next instructions.
Like other generals, he has such a positive attitude because Jiang Chengyuan is present.
None of that matters, though.
Zhao Wanqing was so happy, she raised her hand again and said, "Bulldozer team." ”
"Yes." Li Bin answered, then turned to the signalman and said, "Attack first." ”
Jiang Chengyuan, who had been just sitting in the town and did not express any opinions, asked Zhao Wanqing at this time: "The secret weapon you told this king in the morning is this?" ”
At this time, the leading army named the "bulldozer team" by Zhao Wanqing had already come out of the military formation, the first row held a large shield, the second row also held a large shield, the third row and the fourth row were still large shields, and the fifth row was a board cart pulling dirt.
Marching to the foot of Anyang City, the first four rows of soldiers played the stacked arhats in order, and the shields were raised to form a huge baffle to block the arrows shot by the enemy from the city gate, and at the same time, it also covered the behavior of the soldiers behind them in placing mounds of earth on high slopes.
Zhao Wanqing replied: "Yes, I let people dig the soil behind the barracks all night last night." ”
Jiang Chengyuan frowned and looked at the stacked Arhat formation like a play, and asked, "Do you want to let people attack the city with a few mounds of earth?" ”
Zhao Wanqing smiled slyly: "How come?" This slope is still a considerable distance from the city gate, even if it is piled up as high as the city gate, not every soldier can fly over with light skills like a martial arts master. I did this because I wanted to gamble to see if the Wei Chu coalition army would lose its breath and take the initiative to open the door to fight us. Isn't there such a thing after all...... If you are strong, you will be humiliated, is that what you say? Or am I mistaken? ”
Jiang Chengyuan looked "I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhao Wanqing had no choice but to continue: "Forget it, anyway, I just think that the Wei and Chu coalition forces have always been strong in front of our Qi army, at least they will think they are strong, so they should not be able to stand any 'teasing' and 'insults', seeing that we are attacking the city so openly, it is estimated that they will not wait for us to climb up to the city gate, and they themselves will come out to give us some color to see." ”
"Kind of makes sense." Jiang Chengyuan said.
"Really?" Zhao Wanqing originally looked in the direction of the bulldozer fleet, but then immediately turned her head to look at Jiang Chengyuan: "Your Highness also thinks so?" ”
Jiang Chengyuan looked in the direction of the city gate of Anyang City and said, "They have begun to lose their breath. ”
"How?" Zhao Wanqing looked at Jiang Chengyuan's line of sight suspiciously, and saw Tu Yunyang standing on the city gate where he was shooting arrows, and there was someone next to him who only showed half of his head, judging from the height difference, it was probably Wu Jiawei.
"Next to him is Wu Jiawei." Jiang Cheng said from afar.
Zhao Wanqing let out a "huh" and said, "How can Your Highness know what I'm thinking?" ”
Jiang Chengyuan: "You star, can this king not know?" ”
Zhao Wanqing heard a little jealousy from his words, and immediately smiled: "He's the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, shouldn't I pay more attention to him?" Besides, he's my brother, don't you know it, Your Highness? ”
