Chapter 57: The Volunteers (7)
Deyang County (Suining District) is located in the southernmost and easternmost part of Guanghan County. The whole Guanghan County is like a huge triangle, and Deyang County is the corner at the bottom. This Deyang County has been the boundary between Shu and Ba since ancient times, and the distance from here to CD and Jiangzhou is almost the same. Deyang is bordered by Ba County, Ba County, and Qianwei County at the same time, and Jiangyang County is only a few tens of miles away, so it can be said that the strategic location is extremely important.
Deyang County is located on the south bank of the Fujiang River, the moat leads from the river, goes around the city, the end is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is fearful to look at.
At this moment, Gao Ming Gongsun Shu and the others were standing by the moat, with their backs to the city wall, their faces were extremely cold. On the city wall, Guanghan Taishou Xin Ran stood there in a Taishou official robe, and dozens of people on the left and right surrounded him.
"Daddy," Xin Wan's beautiful face was full of anxiety, "Hurry up and let them into the city, the homeless thieves will attack soon." ”
"You can't open the city gate!" Xin Hui shouted loudly on the other side: "As soon as this clever front foot arrived, the homeless thieves followed. Fortunately, the city gate was not opened in the first place, otherwise the Deyang City that we were so hard to defend would have been earned by them like this. ”
Xin Hui seemed nervous when he said this, but he was actually very proud in his heart. When Gao Ming sent Jian Chen to contact Xin Ran first, Xin Hui got his father's secret order and secretly went to Jian Shuo alone at night to inform Jian Shuo about it. The two discussed that they would take advantage of Gao Ming's long journey to Deyang City and wipe out this group of reinforcements in front of so many people in Deyang City.
In this way, those families who followed the Xin family to Jingzhou were more dependent on the Xin family and more desperate for Shudi.
And Jian Shuo can also get what he wants to take Deyang County.
For his Lao Tzu's strategy, Xin Hui admired the five-body throw. Of the people present, their father and son were the only two people who knew. This time, of course, they won't be overheard by Xin Wan again.
"Xin Fujun," Jian Chen looked at the number of displaced people in the distance, far exceeding the number of troops led by Gao Ming, and pressed towards Gao Ming and them unhurriedly, and said in a hurry, "Gao Tinghou is unwilling to come thousands of miles to help the Guanghan people, can you just watch the reinforcements be wiped out like this?"
"I am deeply grateful that Gao Tinghou can come to our aid. Xin Ran slowly opened her mouth and said in a heavy tone, "But this mansion is the too guard ordered by the imperial court, and it is the responsibility to guard the land." Although I also wanted to open the city gate and let them enter the city at this time, the responsibility of defending the land was always the first priority. Xin was also heartbroken, and he couldn't wait to get along with Gao Tinghou at this time. But the only thing that can be done now is to pray to God, hoping that God will bless the righteous people who have come from afar. ”
With his sharp ears, he naturally heard the quarrel on the head of the city, but he couldn't care about those voices at this time. The brigade of the displaced people in the distance was only a hundred zhang away from him, and as far as he could see, there were two or three thousand people, and the black pressure was overwhelming. Rao is his cultivation to the world, and he has also experienced so many things. But this time, when he really faced the battle of these thousands of people, Gao Ming was also nervous.
"I have to listen to the advice of Gongsun Shu, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Gao Ming secretly rejoiced in his heart.
There are more than 500 miles from Yandao to Deyang, and their team walked for 12 days before and after, and then they arrived at the city of Deyang, and they were already sleepy and tired. It was also thanks to Gongsun Shu that after entering the Deyang realm the day before, he found Gao Ming and suggested that he should slow down his march and rest fully in the last two days.
According to Gongsun Shu's original words: "The prince has been surrendered like an enemy since ancient times." The same is true for helping others, and it is necessary to help others according to the preparation of the enemy. ”
Although Gao Ming's first reaction was that Gongsun Shu was too worried, after a while, he thought of the phenomenon of porcelain touching that was often encountered in that world, and he finally agreed to Gongsun Shu's proposal.
But even after two days of slowdown, the team's mental outlook has improved significantly compared to the previous days, but it still can't compare with the spirit of the usual day.
Even Gao Ming's own profound cultivation, although there is no problem with his physical strength, he can travel for more than ten days in a row, and he is also mentally tired.
"Fuck, I didn't expect Lao Tzu's first battle to be beaten by the enemy. Gao Ming thought hatefully in his heart, "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's humble admonition, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's subordinate Gongsun Shu, I am afraid that if I don't have to fight now, I will be served by the other party." ”
He was no longer on horseback by this time, but picked up a small bag and fed his mount bean cakes. The 1st Battalion of his Yandao People's Volunteers was all sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, some were eating dry food and some were drinking water.
When the enemy was approaching for the first time, Gongsun Shu's first order was to sit on the ground and seize all the time to recover his strength, and only Gongsun Shu himself rode on the mount and looked at the approaching enemy army from afar, calculating the distance between the two sides.
The speed at which the other party pressed was neither fast nor slow, and there was no loud shouting, just walking unhurriedly.
"The leader on the opposite side is definitely a person who has been in the army for a long time, and he is a difficult opponent. Gongsun said comfortably. His family has a family history, and his ancestors have been passing on their past experience for generations.
According to the experience of his family, many people who have just entered the battlefield have not yet run in front of the other party, and they have almost exhausted their physical strength. Some are nervous and don't know how to move, while others are shaking with fear. As a general, you must take all aspects into account.
The reason why he dared to let everyone in the first battalion sit on the ground and take a break was because he relied on the training on weekdays.
He trembled with excitement when he saw the clever training method for the first time, and he knew in his heart that this training method was the training method he had been thinking about but could not see.
And it turns out that the sergeants trained in this way are in front of them with a sea of swords and fires, and as long as the commander does not say stop, the sergeants will move forward.
It was with this kind of discipline and obedience, and the proficiency that had been trained for a long time, that he dared to let them rest for a while with confidence.
He's counting the distance the other side will charge.
He believed that the time it would take for the soldiers of his first battalion to go from standing to forming was probably shorter than the time it took for the opposing side to charge.
His hands holding the reins were already slippery, and his heart was nervous and excited.
He has no spiritual veins, he is not a monk.
But he was still arrogant since he was a child, he thought he was full of wealth, but because of his civilian status, it seemed that he couldn't see any opportunities to show it.
"This battle is just the beginning. Gongsun Shu gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart, and then said loudly: "All stand up!"
"Archer, take the arrow!"
"Look!"
"Pull the string!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
