Jiang Feng stared up at the sky in a daze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no starlight in the dark sky, and the night was silent, but Jiang Feng's inner irritability was difficult to resolve.

Qin Zaidao and they had already crossed the Huai to the north, and the news that the scouts had come back, Du Li was willing to gamble on this, and Qin Zaidao followed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, although Du Li was introduced, it didn't mean that this battle was really done.

It's really that the chances of winning this battle are too small, and the enemy is too strong in all aspects, and if you want to get it back, in addition to hard work, it really depends on the will of God to a large extent.

Wengang Zha is located in the upper reaches of Rushui, is an important place to march into Ruyang, Caizhou Army set up a village here, that is, to rely on the benefits of Rushui, to defend Ruyang, if the Nanyang Army goes straight to Ruyang, then Wengang Zha Caizhou Army can pose a threat to the Nanyang Army from behind, so to take Ruyang City, it is necessary to take Wengang Zha.

Jiang Feng knew that the Caizhou army had blocked the Nanyang army in Zhenyang City for a short time, and the Nanyang army had a smooth supply from Shenzhou to Baigou City and then to Zhenyang County, which gave the Nanyang army the confidence to continue to fight under Zhenyang City.

Even if a small number of local gentry private troops intended to attack this grain route, the Nanyang army was very tightly guarded, and even deliberately set traps to counter two groups of gentry private armies, causing heavy losses to the gentry private army, and they no longer dared to act rashly.

Even if Du Li and Qin Zaidao can succeed in attacking Wengangzha, but this does not mean that this battle will be won, the Tianxing army has successfully recovered the entire Chenzhou, and the southern Chenzhou has returned to the hands of the Great Liang again, after a period of delay, the Tianxing army began to advance westward under the strict orders of the Great Liang Chongzheng Yuan, and the target was directly aimed at Ruyang City.

Zhang Wanshan has not yet returned.

Jiang Feng didn't know what Zhang Wanshan's mission was, in fact, it was more like an intentional teasing, according to Jiang Feng's own estimate, the success rate did not even exceed two percent, and Qin Quan's purpose and intention were not guessed by himself now, but Jiang Feng speculated that Qin Quan probably did not want the Yuan clan to fall now.

So it all depends on Qin Quan's mood.

But no matter what, Jiang Feng feels that he should give it a try, and only when you still fail after trying, will you have no regrets.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Jiang Feng couldn't help but turn his head, and his intuition told him that there was probably some special news coming.

"My lord, Lord Zhang is back. The guards were very excited, Zhang Wanshan was very happy as their former leader during this period of time, and the guards also knew that Master Zhang was going out to perform a difficult task, and it was still unknown whether it would take long or not.

Zhang Wanshan, who was dressed in dust and dust, barely had time to catch his breath, and went straight to Jiang Feng's place.

"My lord, it's done. Zhang Wanshan's tone was a little more trembling, and after a period of exhaustion, there was irrepressible excitement and joy.

"Oh, what has come of?" Jiang Feng pulled Zhang Wanshan to the seat in front of him and motioned for the other party to take a seat.

"I didn't see Qin Quan, but when I met Qin Heng and the others, I conveyed your words as they were, and Qin Heng was noncommittal. Zhang Wanshan sat still, trying to calm himself down, "But I don't think he understood what I mean at all, and then let me follow them for several days, running back and forth in Bozhou, and didn't let me go, so I followed them." ”

"Well, the ant thief is not stupid, Qin Quan is even more cunning and deceitful, of course it is impossible to make a decision, they also have to verify the situation. Jiang Feng nodded, "This is also reasonable." ”

"It took about eight days, Qin Heng called me and asked me to come back, he said that he knew about the situation I introduced, and I didn't stay, I came back directly, but the people who arranged to pick up the people were deployed and observed along the main camp of the ant thieves and the front line of Yingshui, I just returned to Gushi, and I received a report, the cavalry of the main camp of the ant thieves began to assemble, the scale and number are not small, about three thousand horses, and the baggage and forage are also followed a lot, it is estimated that it is going to carry out a long-distance run,......"

Generally speaking, the long-distance march of the cavalry is a very troublesome thing, unlike the layman's imagination, the journey of thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in the night, that is only the calculation distance of a single horse in extreme circumstances, and it is also mostly exaggerated.

Although the speed of a large-scale cavalry march is much faster than that of an infantry army, it is quite good to travel 200 miles a day, and of course the situation can be better with well-trained cavalry, but this kind of march is generally not durable.

Two or three days is a boundary, otherwise it will be very normal for the war horse to lose weight or even die of fatigue.

From Bozhou to Caizhou, the distance is about 600 miles, even if it is the most elite cavalry of the ant thieves, it will take at least three or five days, which also means that it can only be a long-distance attack, not a short-distance attack.

Long-distance war horses need to carry the necessary forage, and they can only maintain a fast speed in the early stage, and only when they are close to the target, they will adopt rapid raid tactics.

Of course, for the ant thief, there is no problem between the Ying, although the probation army is in a state of entanglement, but the ant thief can easily march during this period to obtain the baggage supplies of the local ant thief, of course, carrying the necessary forage is also the intention, otherwise once there is an accident, there will be a problem.

"Where is the main camp of the ant thieves now?" Jiang Feng asked with a deep groan.

"About eighty miles southwest of Shansang County, it is about to be close to Xia Weishui. Zhang Wanshan replied after a little thought. Shansang is located on the bank of the whirlpool, which is now the city of Mongolia, and the geographical location is also extremely important.

Jiang Feng knew that it was already the border area of Yingbo, so the distance from there to attack Caizhou was about five hundred miles.

If it was the ant thief Persian woman or the Qin River Department, it was very likely that they would rush into Caizhou within three days, but Jiang Feng felt that five days should be a more pertinent judgment.

After all, the ant thief needs to recuperate in the early stage, you are not a light march, and you will have to have a surprise attack in the end, and you also need to dock and cooperate with the ant thief's scout.

If you take the northern route, you need to go through Xia Weishui, Yingshui and Xiaorushui, if you go to the south, you still have to go through Xia Weishui and Yingshui, but the north is obviously more suitable, if the ant thief is really as judged by himself to go to the Liang army from Chenzhou to attack Caizhou.

"Wanshan, do you arrange someone on the front line of Yingshui?" Jiang Feng nodded slightly, now it depends on whether the ant thief is really as he expected, and this special relationship with Daliang will make them love and hate, so this treasure is still bet.

"Well, I arranged for the three of them to be on the front line of Yingshui, I estimate that if the ant thieves want to enter Caizhou, they can only cross Yingshui from the north of Ruyin, and there are not many locations suitable for crossing the river on that line, and they can't get away from those places, so they can be found in time. Zhang Wanshan is also very familiar with the geographical situation of this line.

Once the Yingshui is crossed, it is basically certain that the ant thief is really going to run for the Liang army, and the Liang army probably never dreamed that he would encounter the elite of the ant thief cavalry, the apprentice they taught, would give them a ferocious blow from behind.

"Okay, you arrange for someone to keep track of it at all times, and once you learn that the ant thief has crossed Yingshui, report it as quickly as possible. Jiang Feng saw that Zhang Wanshan was also tired, and waved his hand, "You hurry up and go back and hurry up to rest, this time has worked hard for you." ”

After Zhang Wanshan went down to rest, Jiang Feng's mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Da Liang and Nanyang teamed up to attack Cai in the eyes of many people, in fact, it was already a dead end, although the Jin army also began to realize the problem and sent troops to the north of Daliang, although the Taining army finally got rid of the fetters of Heshuo and sent troops, but to be honest, it was already a little late, and Da Liang had already made quite full preparations in the north and northeast to deal with it, especially the slowness of the Taining army was fatal.

In the past, once the Central Plains war started, the Taining army was the first to bear the brunt, but this time for some reason, the Taining army did not move, and it was even much slower than the Jin army, which directly led to the extremely ferocious attack of the Liang on the three battlefields of the entire Caizhou from west to east.

In the past, Huaibei, Caizhou's biggest Olympic aid, was dragged by ant thieves this time, which made Huaibei seem overstretched from the beginning, and there was not much energy to support Caizhou, even now Huaibei is aware of the danger, but they are indeed powerless now.

Daliang and Nanyang also saw this, so they were very sure, because they thought that the situation was decided, and indeed, without other major unexpected factors, the overall situation could not have changed.

It is difficult to change the overall situation if the attack of the Ehuang and Gushi cavalry, or the sneak attack of the ant thief cavalry on the Tianxing army of Daliang, must be successful in both, and even add the progress of the Jin army and the Taining army in the subsequent attack on Daliang, this game can be pulled back.

Jiang Feng of the Jin Army and the Taining Army was powerless to interfere, but in the other two aspects, he had already done what he should do, and he seemed to have seen the light, and the rest depended on whether God helped the Yuan family, and whether he could help the Gu Shi Army.

At this time, Gu Shijun was actually tied to the fate of the Yuan family, and it was funny to think about it, you must know that more than two months ago, the two sides were still fighting to the death.

Now the Gu Shi Army and the ant thieves were originally Yuan's mortal enemies, and they all had to do their best for Yuan's survival.

Jiang Feng was not very at ease with Qin Zaidao and Du Li's sneak attack on the Nanyang army in Wengangzha, and the 1,800 cavalry army attacked the Nanyang army of more than 10,000 people, not to mention the great risk, and it is normal for an unexpected success to fail, even if it succeeds, whether it can achieve the effect?

So he's prepared to have a second-hand plan, which is also a seemingly unrealistic venture, but sometimes you have to do it even if you know it's a risk.

"Go and invite Deng Guinian, Luo Zhen and Jing Niangzi to come here. ”

Jiang Feng took a deep breath.

Wengangzha is an important river defense pass on the Rushui River, the Caizhou army is stationed here, and the Nanyang army confronts it, and Jiang Feng has been pondering whether this position can be worth taking a risk half a month ago.

Taking this risk also requires all kinds of conditions, and now there seems to be a glimmer of hope. (To be continued.) )
