552 The war began
Ling Xiaotian, Liu Tiancheng, and Jiang Yicheng were sent to Qianguan, and the commander of Qianguan was the confidant of Commander Nino, who was meticulous and known for his courage and skill. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The main general's name is Connall, a sixty-sixth-level fighter, who has been in the army for many years and has rich combat experience, he looked at the three people in front of him with a smile and said: "The commander is really very important to the three of you, even the staff department has praised you, and the experience of my troops who can come here is really giving me face."
"The Lord General is polite" Ling Xiaotian said modestly: "I waited for the three of us to come here for the first time, and I would like to ask the Lord General to take care of me in the future."
"Hehe, we will be a family in the future" Connor said with a smile: "The commander has decided on your military position, but now there is no vacancy in my hands, and in half a month, a regiment commander will be transferred to Zhongguan as the deputy brigade commander, and then let you take office, what do you think?"
"Well" Ling Xiaotian was a little unhappy, and said in his heart The purpose of our coming here is very clear, but you let us wait for half a month before taking office, what is the matter
Conor explained: "That's right, that regimental commander has made many military exploits, I don't want to leave his post early in the days before he leaves, after all, that regiment was brought out by him, and I know that this is not fair to you, so I have already greeted the commander, and transferred the squadron you trained before, and it is still led by you, and when you accept that team, it will be merged into your command, which can be regarded as some small compensation for you."
Ling Xiaotian said in his heart that this is okay, dozens of people can change for half a month, this business can be done, he bowed down and said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
"Okay, refreshing" Connell slapped the table and said, "I like young people like you, you do things neatly"
"Although I haven't taken over my team yet, I hope that from today onwards, Lord General will send us a mission" Ling Xiaotian said: "We want to adapt to everything in the barracks as soon as possible, time waits for no one, maybe one day the enemy will attack"
"Okay, when your squadron arrives, you'll be in charge of reconnaissance in the northeast," Connell said.
……
Ling Xiaotian, Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng left the big tent of the main general Connar, and a middle-aged man who was hiding behind came out, and said with some worry: "Lord General, did what we did leak the news, why did the commander send someone over, did he come to monitor us?"
"Impossible, we're doing this seamlessly" Conor said without worrying at all: "Except for you and me and one or two people from the other party, no one knows that these three people are not sent to monitor us, they can't get in touch with the decision-making level at all, besides, haven't I already asked them to be scouts, and it's a reconnaissance northeast, where there is an endless grassland, there is nothing but rabbits, what can they scout?" Half a month is enough time for us to do everything well."
"yes, I didn't think of that," the man said with a smile, "based on the level of trust that Commander Keno has in you and me, he would never have imagined that we would do such a thing, hahaha"
"People die for money, birds die for food," Connor clenched his fists and said: "For so many years of fighting for the empire, I am just an earl, and the fief is only a town, I have to think about my own future."
"That's that, after the deed is done, the other party promised you a city," the man said with a sinister smile, "and at least a marquis, if you still serve the empire honestly, I think you will have to fight for at least twenty years."
……
"I really don't understand, why did the Lord General let us scout in a place where we don't pee and?" Jiang Yicheng rode behind Ling Xiaotian and Liu Tiancheng, who were accompanied by sixty-three soldiers.
Ling Xiaotian is now holding the position of regiment commander, but there is only one squadron of soldiers, Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng are even worse, every time they hear the soldiers call them "captain", they feel very uncomfortable, there are only thirty soldiers of the captain, it is really faceless.
"I think the Lord General must have his intentions" Liu Tiancheng said: "This place is only a dozen miles away from the Qianguan and Zhongguan, after the enemy is defeated by us, he will definitely choose this road to escape, and when the time comes, prepare an ambush here in advance, and cover up and kill the enemy who cannot form an army again, and he will definitely be able to win a great victory."
Ling Xiaotian pursed his lips, and said in his heart that this is a place of expansion, there is no danger to defend, ambushing the enemy here is tantamount to turning them into a battle of trapped beasts, and the meaning of ambushes is not much, and if there are fewer soldiers in ambush, it is simply not enough for those who flee for their lives to stuff their teeth, if there are more, it will have a great impact on the defense of the city.
"Boss, do you think it's possible?" Jiang Yicheng asked, he was not convinced every time Liu Tiancheng's views were more comprehensive than him, and the reason why he asked Ling Xiaotian was because his opinions were more comprehensive than the two of them.
"Anything is possible"
"Boss, it's the same as if you didn't say it," Jiang Yicheng said a little unconvinced.
"Who said that" Liu Tiancheng immediately retorted: "The old meaning is that my point of view is very likely to come true, which means that I am right"
Ling Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have noticed that Lord Conor is wary of us, I really can't understand why he is like this, he is the commander's henchman, the commander is so important to us, he has actually changed when he comes here."
Speaking of this, Liu Tiancheng nodded and said: "I also feel like this, to be honest, I always thought it was an illusion, and now that the boss says this, I no longer doubt it, he is indeed wary of us, we are elites, it is not false at all, but we can't always threaten his position as the main general, just in terms of rank, we can't reach it."
Ling Xiaotian has also been thinking about this matter for the past few days, but he has never figured it out.
……
In the middle of the night, two black shadows flew up the mountain, and after a while, two black shadows came, and the four of them gathered at the top of the mountain.
The four of them took off the black scarves covering their faces together, two of them were the former general Conor and his lieutenant Suluk, and the other two were no worse than these two in temperament, and they should be people of the same status.
"Lord Connor is really punctual," said one of them with a smile.
"Commander Batus is also very punctual," Connor said politely, and the other party was Batus, the commander of the Western Han Empire Army under the city.
"Hehe, let's get straight to the point" Batus said with a smile: "We studied the request you made last time, and also reported to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty has approved the matter, you can choose a middle-level city as your own territory, and the annual tax can also be discounted by six percent, in addition, Your Majesty will reward you with 100,000 gold coins."
"Okay, Connell said happily."
Batus continued to smile and say, "We will not treat you badly"
Who doesn't treat it badly, but in his heart he feels that he is losing to death, the Dongning Empire only used 100,000 gold coins last time to almost earn the gate of Nanguan, but they paid an extra intermediate city for this, you must know that such a city has hundreds of thousands of oil and water a year, plus six percent off taxes, this is simply a mountain of gold.
"Of course, it's worth the money, I'm going to take the risk," Connell swore assimilated, "You know my relationship with Keno very well, he has never treated me badly, and to be honest, I was a little reluctant to do anything rebellious."
……
"Report to the regiment commander, the enemy's soldiers are pressing the border" A soldier quickly ran to Ling Xiaotian's side, gasping for breath and said: "They directly pulled the army to the city of Zhongguan, and left an army of 80,000 people between Qianguan and Zhongguan to block Qianguan's rush to help. They're about to storm the city."
"Impossible" Liu Tiancheng didn't wait for Ling Xiaotian to speak, and said first: "Leaving 50,000 troops left, that is to say, they have gathered at most 120,000 soldiers and horses under the city, and there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 guards in Zhongguan, and their 150,000 people are not enough at all, is the brain of their main general in water?"
Ling Xiaotian frowned, and said, "You immediately divide the troops into two routes, and quickly find out how many soldiers are left between Qianguan and Zhongguan all the way, and second, how many soldiers are in the city."
"Yes," a dozen soldiers galloped towards their target on horseback.
"Boss, what do you mean by this, hasn't the situation been found out, why do you want them to go out to reconnoitre?" Jiang Yicheng asked incomprehensibly.
Ling Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "I don't think things are that simple, this kind of formation is nothing at all, even anyone without military common sense can imagine it, they have confronted us for so long, but they ended up using such a stupid method, isn't it strange?"
Liu Tiancheng said: "It's a very strange boss, are they trying to lure out the reinforcements from Qianguan, and then gather and annihilate them?"
"Impossible, this is not a smart tactic" Ling Xiaotian shook his head and said: "In this way, they can only suffer losses, the first Keno commander will not easily let the soldiers of Qianguan go out of the pass to rescue, and secondly, when they are tired of attacking the city, the soldiers of Qianguan and Zhongguan will be killed together, and the enemy will be attacked from front and back, and they will definitely be defeated."
After listening to Ling Xiaotian's brother's analysis, Liu Tiancheng and Jiang Yicheng's mood also became heavy, the location they are in now is still a place in the northeast where urine and don't, and as far as they are a few dozen people, they can't have any impact on the battle situation
