Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Great Army Pressed the Frontier
Gong Yunhuo and Qiu Haojun met on the way to withdraw the army, although the two armies were rid of the pursuing army at this time, but when they came to the second line position, they found that the army of the spirit master and the spirit had appeared here, and a fortress in front of them - Huihe Fortress had also been occupied, and the two sides totaled, there were about 100,000 in this army, but there were more than 100,000 enemy troops around the fortress, if it was discovered, it would be troublesome. He simply pulled the team to a distant mountain and hid, ordering that no fire should be lit, and the soldiers could only eat dry food to carry it.
After rectifying the army, the generals in the army finally have time to sort out the current situation, but the second general Bao Hua has not woken up yet, and he can only come over to discuss with the deputy general.
In the tent, because the fire could not be lit, and the surroundings could not be covered with too strong spiritual power to avoid spiritual power fluctuations being discovered, Gong Yunhuo had no choice but to use spiritual power to light up a faint light. The map was barely read.
"I won't go into detail about the situation, I know everything, it's a problem now, the road ahead has been blocked, according to our prediction, there should be rebels in the second line, and our current retreat has been sealed. Do you have any ideas?"
"Can't get around?"
"It didn't work, I went to investigate it myself, because I was afraid that something would happen to the troops who ordered and investigated it again, so I went myself. With the Huihe fortress as the center, there are sentry posts every five miles on the left and right, and there are secret sentry posts in the forest. Qing Xiao said.
"Solve the dark whistle and bypass it?" a lieutenant general proposed.
"The danger is too great, once different are killed at the same time, as long as the spirit master signal is fired, the enemy army will rush over. ”
"Is it a head-on breakthrough?"
"With our forces? It's hard to say how many people will succeed....if the situation is better, the living will be able to go back and report to the marshal. ”
The generals couldn't make up their minds, and at this moment, a soldier came to report.
"General Gong, the enemy forces in the Huihe fortress are moving, and they are gathering. ”
Hearing the news, everyone looked at each other. Although he didn't believe that his position was exposed, he still put the army on alert first.
Gong Yunhuo and Jin Feng, Qing Xiao, and Li Lingyong went to find out the truth and the truth. The four of them dispatched their spiritual power, galloped all the way, and finally arrived at a hill in front of the Huihe Fortress for more than an hour.
At this time, although it was late at night, the fortress below was lit by firelight, illuminated brightly, and it could be seen by the light of the fire, there were five spirits, five spirits' armies gathered together, and countless special squads were also gathering, adding up to more than a million people, the fortress could not accommodate it, and there was a large area outside that was full of tents.
"With this amount, it is no longer possible to break through head-on. ”
"yes, what are they coming together?"
The larger the army, the more time there will be for it to assemble and prepare, and at this time, so many troops are gathered together, and there must be a big move.
"Look over there!" Jin Feng pointed to a main road next to the fortress, where a dense collection of siege equipment had already begun to be moved. There was also a team of grain and grass to follow, and the convoy also stood aside. There are already countless numbers here.
"Those siege engines, it looks like they're going to go for the fortress. ”
"Other fortresses on the second line?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the strength of the second-line fortresses is more than 500,000, although they have a million troops, but the number of defenders is 10,000 more, it will be a different situation, not to mention the 500,000 army, do they think they are fighting with our attacking army?"
"It's hard to say, Jin Feng, bring me the map. Gong Yunhuo took the map and pointed out the current location.
"If you attack from here, the nearest one is Husai, which is three hundred miles away. ”
There is a very obvious mark on the map, marked with the word Husai.
"This is one of the main fortresses of the second line!"
"They have a good appetite, but I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it!"
"I think that if they really attack Husai, it will be an opportunity for us, if they want to send troops, the strength of Huihe Fortress will inevitably be empty, if the number is enough for us to deal with, we can defeat it, and then send troops to attack with Husai's army!"
At this point, the four generals began to observe, carefully judging their marching routes. Jin Feng and Gong Yunhuo hid the fluctuations of spiritual power and quietly ran to the front to observe.
"Qingxiao, do you think we have a good chance of succeeding this time?"
"I think it's a little difficult, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"I just think that the timing is too good, and the rebels start to act when the frontline army is fighting, like we want all the front-line troops to die. ”
"It's not surprising, after all, we may be getting in the way of some people's goals. ”
"Then you say, how on earth did so many soldiers agree to mutiny, and it is unreasonable to think that even if it is our own army brothers, you are sure to convince them?"
"I don't know about this, alas, I don't know what they think, the last time we broke through, we didn't even have much time to find out the motives of the enemy. ”
Taking Gong Yunhuo and Jin Feng to the front, Li Lingyong and Qing Xiao talked about this, in fact, this is also a problem that has been bothering everyone for a long time, even if the generals are together, the soldiers are also together, and each general has such a great charm? The two hid in the grass, and a soldier suddenly leaned over in the distance. Both of them were alert, and if they were discovered, they would be in trouble.
"Don't move. Qing Xiao himself pulled out a crossbow arrow, which was a very short crossbow arrow, and tied a sleeve crossbow to the shirt on his right arm, and quietly loaded the crossbow arrow on it. But I saw the soldier stop, take off his pants and start peeing.
The two of them were determined, and they didn't dare to gasp for breath, until the soldier turned to leave, and the moment he turned around, Qing Xiao saw that there was a faint purple line on his neck, but it was too dark to see really, but it looked like it was by the distant firelight, and it was too faint.
"Is it wrong?" Qing Xiao ignored it, and continued to watch with Li Lingyong, at this time, the army gradually moved bigger, first the cavalry began to move, and the heavy armor and so on began to move in turn.
There were so many troops that it was almost dawn by the time the soldiers inside the fortress began to move.
"The two of them should be far away, so they should be able to determine the route. ”
"It should be, I can't imagine that there will be a time when our general will do the work of a spy. ”
"There's no way, we're the turtles in Weng now, if we want to be comfortable, let's talk about it when we get out of Weng. ”
At this time, the two also began to carefully look at the army in the fortress, and as a detachment of troops came out of the fortress, the two also began to count.
"This should be the Grain and Grass Team. ”
"Cavalry. ”
"Armor. ”
"Spiritual law. ”
Both of them were generals, so it was easy to judge that according to the estimation of the two of them, there should be three complete armies in the fortress, and a whole army had been moved at the moment. That is, there are still two more troops in the fortress.
"Okay!
Both of them were a little excited, the army had been unable to secure their strongholds for a long time, and now the opportunity had come. But just as he was rejoicing, the door of the fortress opened again.
Then, another army was moving, along the same route as the previous army.
"Just keep one?"
"50,000 troops for an army, or about 30,000 if you have a less?"
"That's cheap!"
Time passed, and after the army left, the two found that the soldiers who were originally stationed on the city wall suddenly left the city wall, and then, another army left the city!
"How ....."
"What does this mean?" Suddenly the two of them were a little confused, it was obvious that this was the last army, and even the soldiers on the city walls had withdrawn.
And soon, as the troops left, bursts of black smoke began to rise from inside the fortress, burning the pass!
"Is this sick?" Qing Xiao looked a little depressed, a fortress began to be destroyed, and the most hateful thing was that the army was still waiting there to determine whether the fire was spreading, and the word 'Jie' was big on the military flag.
"Jie Tijun, Lao Tzu remembers you. ”
"Is this a military order? If they don't take Husai, they won't look back?"
"I don't know. Qing Xiao hammered a tree beside him.
The two of them didn't pay attention now, the army was not far away, and it was not enough to rush over to put out the fire. I can only wait here for Gong Yunhuo and them to come back.
It was about half an hour before Gong Yunhuo and Jin Feng came back, and their faces were not good-looking.
The two sides together discovered a new situation, this million army did not go to Husai, but just the opposite direction, five hundred miles away from Yaoming Pass.
And Gong Yunhuo and the others also saw the fire in Guanzhong and the army that was still not far away.
"Alas......"
The four of them looked at the Huihe Pass, and no one felt comfortable, but there was no way. You can only return to the army first. The soldiers in the army were either leaning against a tree or finding a place to collapse, and they were all tired and asleep.
