Chapter Seventy-Three: Jepli
It's been a month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The grassland army has been holding on to each other outside Fengguan for a month. Although the elite cavalry of the royal court in the barracks has been cleaned, the daily consumption of food and grass for the remaining hundreds of thousands of cavalry and slave soldiers is also a huge number.
The operation arranged by Duolun was completely the most desperate situation in the grassland in recent years. This is some gambling, and Jebrie did not approve of it at first. With such a large army, even if it is a full-scale attack on Fengguan, there is still a chance to capture the level.
The opponent's 100,000 soldiers and horses are not all suitable for defending the city. In addition, there have been many general-level warriors on his side in recent years, and there will not be too much disadvantage in the grassland in siege operations, so why do you need to make dangerous moves?
However, Duolun's ambitions are not something that can be satisfied by just passing the border. Or is it really possible for 200,000 troops to break through the border pass, and then what? The end of the grassland fighting hard for the Fire Phoenix Army is nothing more than a crushing victory. After passing the pass, can we continue to attack the city and plunder the land? Encroach on the territory of the Han people? I am afraid that at what time, at most, it will be a plunder, and return to the grassland again.
Doron doesn't want such a victory. What is the difference between such an achievement and a failure?
What he wants is real territory! It is a city! It is to occupy the territory of the other side!
Without Luo Hao's arrival at the camp on this side of the grassland through Baililin, Jipuli would definitely prevent Duolun from making a detour into the Central Plains from Baililin. This is completely wishful thinking and fantasy.
However, when Luo Hao passed through Baili Lin and arrived at the grassland unharmed, even the general of Jibuli had incredible fluctuations in his heart. Only then did he feel that Duolun's idea was feasible, and even felt that Duolun had the style of a king.
Even if it were, Doren had to pay for the traitorous spy's huge fortune. Jeepli also agreed. Although he wouldn't have known, in the end, Luo Hao and Duolun both died in Baililin, and the wealth was cheaper than Feng Wujun, so that each of the girls was full of pots.
Duolun has been in Baililin for nearly 20 days, and the army of 30,000 people, counting the footsteps, has almost walked out of Baililin, if it goes well, Duolun has already taken six general-level officers in the army to wreak havoc in the border passes of Xia Kingdom.
Although there was still no movement on Fengguan, Jibri was not anxious.
He was a veteran general. Fighting with the old general of Xia Guoqin is not a matter of one or two years. Generals of this age are very calm. Ji Puli will not take into account any unexpected situation, this matter is very secret, and besides, if the other party finds out that something is wrong, Luo Hao will not be able to reach the grassland at all.
If it was found halfway, Ji Puli would not have realized it, and with the ability of the Fire Phoenix Army at the border pass, he would be able to resist the breakthrough of the elite troops of the Prairie Royal Court.
It's a near-foolproof strategy.
Jeepli is confident in Doron's plan. He must also have confidence, because this large-scale mobilization operation in the grassland has exhausted the capital of Duolun and Jipuli and even the various tribes of the grassland.
The prairie is not a fertile place. Poverty, means listening to them unable to afford enough of the population. There is a lack of food, and newborns die almost every day. Only the strongest babies survive.
200,000 people, young and middle-aged. This is the accumulation of the grassland over the years and even over the years. The grassland, like the Fire Phoenix Army at the border, cannot tolerate defeat.
Once the entire area of the border is occupied. Duolun can ask the king-level guardian in the royal court to include this place in the scope of the grassland. In this way, the land that has not been expanded in a hundred years of grassland will be greatly advanced, and there will be more resources to cultivate a new king.
Similarly, the king-level invasion of the grassland, the king-level masters of the Xia State may come to resist, but don't forget, the four king-level of the Chu State are also eyeing each other. The Xia State simply did not have the strength to expend its own strength here, and the Xia State was more worried about the possession and invasion of the Chu State than the development and practice of the grassland plunder.
Therefore, if Duolun's strategy is successful, this talented prince may become the first new king of the grassland to expand his territory in the past hundred years.
Gheebrie, of course, hopes that Doren will be able to achieve this.
So these days, Jeepli has been patiently waiting. Wait for a new situation to arise at the border gate.
And that afternoon, his wait was answered.
"General!" an officer shouted outside the big tent on the grassland, rode his horse, and rushed straight to the tent. When he came to him, the knight jumped off his horse, took three steps and made two steps, and fell to his knees outside the tent.
"What's the matter!" came a voice from within the tent, low and charming.
Obviously, the officers all knew whose voice it was, and one or two of them were very respectful.
"General, there is an accident on the Fengguan side. There seemed to be flames in their rear, accompanied by siege cries. The knight was very excited and kept saying. "Prince Duolun, you may have successfully crossed the Baili Forest!"
The knight's report elicited an astonishment and enthusiastic response from the officers in the Great Tent. In the midst of this noise, a burly figure opened the curtain of the big tent and walked out directly.
"What did you say?!"
None other than Jeepli.
Although this grassland man is not young, he is in good spirits. His eyes were particularly attentive, and he looked straight in the direction of Fengguan, his face changed.
Just as the knight said, looking at Fengguan from afar, you can see billowing smoke. It looks like you've been attacked from behind!
Here, the defense system before and after the level is different. On one side of the grassland, there is a tall and thick wall, but on the other side, it is not so complicated. The low wall is matched with the outpost, the simple level door, and the difficulty of the attack is not much easier than the high wall facing the grassland side.
Jebrie looked at this situation and was overjoyed.
"It's Prince Duolun!" he got the same judgment as the knight, "he bypassed Baili Lin and arrived at the rear of Fengguan!"
However, he also pondered another issue.
Fengguan is stationed with Qin Kong's 100,000 border troops! With the 30,000 cavalry under Duolun's command alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack the hard bone of Fengguan. And the billowing smoke should be a reminder that Duolun is setting fires. In an instant, Jebrie thought of what he should do.
Cooperate with the attack! Attack back and forth! Take the Fengguan in one fell swoop!
This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after Duolun circled, give Yu Fengguan a surprise attack, Fengguan is probably not prepared at all! If at this time, Ji Puli leads the army to attack, he can cooperate with Duolun to capture Fengguan. If you miss the opportunity and let Duolun face it alone, not only will you not be able to defeat Fengguan this time, but even after the Fire Phoenix Army is prepared, it will be difficult to attack back and forth.
Although Duolun didn't use Swift Eagle to transmit signals, Ji Puli knew that if he used Swift Eagle to transmit signals through a situation like Baililin, he was likely to expose himself. So the use of arson reminders instead of subpoena is also a signal.
It took him less than half a minute to think about it.
"All ready for battle! Half an hour later, we will attack Fengguan!"
