Chapter 197 Instrument Division

He suddenly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general Huo is sick, obey the order!"

"Good!"

Zhou Chuan looked at Huo Quai, and said in a deep voice: "Huo Quai, Beicheng Pass is not just an ordinary pass, but also the gateway to Beibi Mountain City, you not only want to take it, but also to prevent other enemies in the northern grassland from attacking, and at the same time, to prevent the Tianjealous army from retreating and attacking, are you confident?"

Huo Quzhi didn't hesitate, and immediately said loudly: "People are locked up!"

"Good!"

Zhou Chuan did not hesitate, took out the seal of the 10,000-strong army, handed it to Huo Quai, and said in a deep voice: "This is the 500,000 soldiers of the city defense battalion present, except for the Qi family's army, the most elite soldiers and tiger talismans, pick 10,000 people at will, you must not let me down!"

"Yes!"

Huo Quzhi answered in a deep voice, took down the tiger talisman, and immediately went down to dispatch the army of the city defense battalion.

"Qi Jiajun!"

"All the soldiers are here!"

Zhou Chuan looked at the Qi family's army, which had less than 2,000 people, and groaned slightly, and said, "I order you to go to Bianhe City by Bianhe River, transport the city defense crossbows over, and at the same time look for an opportunity to attack Beibi Mountain City!"

"Live up to the holy hope!"

The soldiers of the Qi family army were full of excitement, they thought at first that they had no chance to go to the battlefield, but now they didn't expect that they could still go to the front line and be the main force of the siege.

"Good!"

Zhou Chuan looked at the Qi family soldiers, nodded, and said to Huo Quai: "Go sick, I hope you can take the Beicheng Pass in one fell swoop." ”

"The last general obeys the order!" Huo Qu responded and immediately went to select good soldiers.

At this time, Qi Jiguang came with him. At the same time, there were also 100,000 elite defenders of Baoqing City.

After mentioning the cause and effect slightly, Qi Jiguang knew that Huo Quzhi was trustworthy, but he was confused and looked at Zhou Chuan very puzzled.

"Hey, are you a little puzzled, why did I hand over so many troops to Huo Qu when I just saw him?" Zhou Chuan looked at him and said with a smile.

He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's true that I don't understand it. ”

He wasn't jealous, he was just curious, Huo Qubing had just arrived in front of His Majesty, and in less than a day, His Majesty had handed over such an army to him, wouldn't he be worried about his loyalty?

Zhou Chuan naturally wouldn't tell him, this was because he had a system, and he knew that this person was a diehard, and there would definitely be no problem.

He looked at him, sighed lightly, and said, "I don't doubt the use of people, but I don't need to use suspicious people." I trust him not to betray me, that's my instinct!"

"Say ...... again"

Zhou Chuan laughed and said, "At present, there is a shortage of major generals under my command, and this fierce general has arrived under my command, if I don't use it, what is it?"

He immediately responded, anyway, he didn't know anything about this, but he was a little surprised when he saw Huo Quai's cultivation all of a sudden.

It was Qi Jiguang, he looked around and said, "Your Majesty, now we have one last question." ”

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, Huo Qubing led 10,000 elite people with the strongest combat power to make a detour to seize Beicheng Pass, which is a good thing, but if he wants to defend the city, he needs a large number of bows and crossbows, as well as air-breaking arrows, and even city defense crossbows, which are very needed. But ......"

Helplessly, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, now we don't have many of these things in our hands, if we hand over enough things to guard the Beicheng Pass to Huo Qubing now, if we want to ambush the enemy on the frontal battlefield, we will lack the arrows needed for city defense crossbows, bows and crossbows, etc." ”

"When the time comes, it will be very troublesome to let the enemy rush at you. ”

Zhou Chuan's brows furrowed.

Indeed, this is a very big problem. The Wu Zhou Dynasty was only an intermediate dynasty, and when he attacked the Fenglin Dynasty before, there was almost a problem with the grain and grass, if it wasn't for the fact that he got a lot of grain and grass money from the Xiao family later, he would no longer be able to guarantee to take the Fenglin Dynasty.

In the back, he destroyed the Tongji Dynasty and got a lot of good things from the treasury of the Tongji Dynasty, and he had no worries about money and food, so that he could now fight on three fronts, and there was no problem with the grain and grass of the Wuzhou Dynasty.

However, there are not many combat equipment, city defense crossbows, bows and crossbows, arrows, and air-breaking arrows. The front-line battle in Tongji City consumed half of the arrows in Tongji City, and Baoqing City was defended and defended, and these things were also needed, but because there was the former Shangbing Bureau of the Fenglin Dynasty over there, there was no need to rely on the Xiao family to purchase ordnance for the time being.

In this northern border, the Wuzhou Dynasty did not have any extra reserves, and it used to be a northern mountain city, which would not be transported to Bianhe City, but now that the northern mountain city was broken, all the equipment naturally fell into the hands of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Under the advantages of one another, there are not many of these things in Zhou Chuan's hands now.

As Qi Jiguang said, if Huo Qubing is given enough things, Beicheng Pass will definitely be able to hold it, but the pressure on the frontal battlefield will be very, very great.

If you don't give it, even if you take it down, it will be difficult to hold it!

This is also a very big problem. Now, Zhou Chuan needs to make a choice, whether to give Huo Qubing a small amount of strategic materials to defend Beicheng Pass or stay on the frontal battlefield.

Zhou Chuan closed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Give enough things to Huo Quai, Beicheng Pass must be taken, and it must be defended, otherwise, we will face even more pressure!"

The pressure Zhou Chuan said was not the more than one million Xiaoyue Iron Riders in front of him.

It is the Howling Moon Iron Rider in the territory of the Howling Moon Dynasty.

Now the stalemate of the war must have been passed back by the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty, but I am afraid that in the near future, the Xiaoyue Dynasty will continue to increase its troops, in order to take down the entire Wuzhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.

If you can't stop it, taking Beicheng Pass is tantamount to a joke. If you can stop it, the enemy will at least be eaten all!

Now the key to deciding whether Beicheng Pass is useful or not is whether he can withstand the reinforcements of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Take Beicheng Pass, even if the Xiaoyue Dynasty in the north sends millions of iron cavalry to attack, with their weak siege ability, Huo Quai's 10,000 army will continue to defend the city day and night, plus the follow-up will send the 100,000 defenders from Baoqing to Beicheng Pass, they can't break the city at all!

Even if it is to be broken, it will take a month or two to attack the city. In a month or two, it will be enough for Zhou Chuan to solve the iron cavalry in the territory.

It was done, the Wu Zhou Dynasty solved the enemy crisis, drew troops, defeated the Xiaoyue Dynasty, repelled the combined forces of the various dynasties, and at the same time eradicated the local branch of the Holy Sect in the Beibi Mountain, completely consolidating the hegemony of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in the south.

has the qualifications to compete with the current Luo family, competing for strengths and weaknesses, and dividing high and low.

If it fails, the mountain city in the north will completely fall, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty will be in danger at any time.

In all this, Beichengguan plays a key role, and everything depends on whether Huo Qubing can take Beichengguan.
