Chapter 90 Zhuang Shujun rushed to help overnight
In the following two days, Mu Qianmei always carried out guerrilla warfare: "When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, when the enemy is tired, I fight, and when the enemy retreats, I advance." The sixteen-character policy of "apex", flexible and elusive, always appears suddenly at an unexpected moment for Zhang Xiaoting, and after a blow, regardless of success or failure, he quickly withdraws.
Every time Zhang Xiaoting's troops chased to the foot of the Yunlong Mountain Range, about 500 meters away from the woods and stopped, they didn't dare to enter easily, so they had to shout loudly outside the woods, scolding and getting tired, looking at the other party as if they hadn't heard it, the woods were still quiet, as if there was no one inside, and they had to go back in disgrace.
On the third day, Zhang Xiaoting's army life was even more difficult, the first two days were barely boiled porridge and drunk, eating half-full horse meat, and on the third day, the porridge could not be drunk, and the war horses did not dare to kill more, so they had to dig some wild vegetables and grass roots, and boiled the hot horse meat, barely filling their stomachs.
Fortunately, the spies reported that the 150,000 reinforcements sent by Yun Tianxiao could arrive the next day, and the Yunzhonghe troops who had attacked the city all the way could not arrive until the third day at the earliest.
The time difference of this day made Zhang Xiaoting's troops excited, and when the time came, his own army of more than 200,000 people would encircle and suppress the opponent's troops of only more than 20,000 people, how could they attack it by force!
However, the opponent has a trap and an archer ambush in the middle, and there are a lot of stone attacks on the top of the mountain, how can you avoid it?
The other party stands on a high place, their every move is under their noses, and their own side does not know anything about their arrangement and arrangement, the other party knows each other's confidant, but he knows his own confidant and does not know the other, in comparison, he is still at a disadvantage!
And what about the 200,000 army?
Unless you burn the mountain, you can't force them, and there is no way to take them.
On this day, they didn't care about the harassment of Mu Qianmei's army, after a short encounter, after a small fight, they didn't chase each other when they watched each other leave, they just stuck to their camp and took strict precautions.
On the top of the Yunlong Mountain Range, Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng stood at the place where the Shimen mechanism was opened that day, looking at the camp where Zhang Xiaoting's troops were stationed from a distance, and did not speak for a long time.
The summer sun, although it has moved slightly to the west, is still hot and dizzying.
Many soldiers rested in the shade of the trees, and some even made loud snoring sounds.
This kind of snoring not only does not make people feel noisy, but makes people feel a sense of peace and steadfastness, and occasionally birds fly over the woods, but they all come and go in a hurry, and they dare not stay longer, and the people hiding in the woods still make them feel very uneasy.
Mu Qianmei retracted her distant gaze, looked at the scenery in front of her and the soldiers sleeping under the tree, and asked softly:
"Tingfeng, the secret agent has sent news that their 150,000 reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and our 190,000 reinforcements, because they have to attack the city all the way and plunder the village, will not come until the day after tomorrow, think about it, how will we deal with it next?"
"Their reinforcements will arrive tomorrow? It seems that they are going to make a big move, and when the time comes, they will have more than 200,000 people to attack, but we will not be able to hold out for long. ”
Liu Tingfeng said in surprise.
"Yes, they must have a big operation, and with the lesson of the last time, they will definitely be able to think of another way to attack."
Mu Qianmei said leisurely.
"I think it can be difficult for a long time, but if it takes a day, with our preparations, I think it should be no problem."
Liu Tingfeng thought about the preparations he had made in the mountains before he replied.
"No matter how strong the defense is, as long as the offensive method is right, it is not too difficult, let's think again, if they attack the mountain, ours
What's next? Being able to advance and retreat is the best of both worlds! ”
Mu Qianmei said with some concern.
After speaking, they looked at the camp tent in the distance again, and Mu Qianmei said:
"Let's go, let's go down and discuss with everyone, maybe we can come up with a better way!"
After speaking, he and Liu Tingfeng performed light skills and easily flew down the steep stone peak.
Liu Tingfeng quickly called the others over, entered a temporary tent, and discussed how to deal with it together.
On the other side, Zhuang Shujun, who had attacked the city all the way, finally laid down the last city they had planned in advance, and planted the banner of the word "cloud" embroidered with colorful butterflies in various towers of the city.
Zhuang Shujun, who is still dressed in white and looks like a scholar, now has a kind of high-spirited vigor on his body, maybe it is because he has come all the way and attacked the city like a bamboo, and the fight is too smooth, and his confidence will rise so much.
After successfully conquering Snow City, all the way east, it was all smooth sailing, and they all captured one city after another at a very small cost.
Along the way, new recruits continued to join, and there were many soldiers who surrendered, so the number of his troops was not getting smaller and smaller, but more and more fighting.
Because he had to keep the guards and soldiers, he led more and more recruits.
The crane in the clouds stayed behind in Baixue City, with Bai Zhiming to assist in the management of this important border city, waiting for the return of the national teacher.
After conquering this last city, Zhuang Shujun's troops actually had as many as 250,000.
Standing at the head of the city, looking at the city full of his own flags, Zhuang Shujun, who was fluttering in white, was refreshed and radiant.
He felt that it was not as difficult as the legend to attack the city and plunder the village!
But I don't know that this is just because of the surprise, just taking advantage of Zhang Xiaoting's loophole, because Zhang Xiaoting didn't expect them to make such a crazy move, so they didn't have any defenses, so they could take a few cities so easily.
Just when Zhuang Shujun was a little carried away, a secret agent suddenly reported:
"Captain Yu, the battle situation in the Yunlong Mountain Range is critical, Yun Tianxiao's 150,000 troops will be able to arrive to support tomorrow morning, and our 20,000 horses are still trapped in the Yunlong Mountain Range, rush over from here, and we will have to arrive the morning after tomorrow at the earliest."
"Huh?! …… Okay, I know, you go first, keep searching, and report back at any time. ”
"Yes!"
When Zhuang Shujun heard the news, with his calmness and cultivation, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
After reacting, he immediately turned to a calm tone and sent the spies away.
Zhuang Shujun suddenly thought of the beautiful princess and his simple and kind brother in his mind, and he was even more anxious.
He groaned slightly, and the expression on his face immediately became solemn.
There was no time to convene another meeting, so he hurriedly gathered all the soldiers together, and after hastily arranging the defense of the city, he said loudly:
"Since our 20,000 brothers are in a critical situation and need to rush to the rescue, we will leave immediately except for the remaining 50,000 horses and horses waiting to come to support at any time. Moreover, because the situation is really urgent, I will first lead the 100,000 army to rush forward in the starry night, and the remaining 100,000 troops must follow us closely, the sooner we arrive, the better, we have fought small battles in the past few days, and then we will fight a big tough battle. ”
"Do you have faith?"
The last sentence was like thunder, shocking
Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"Yes!"
All the soldiers replied loudly together, emotional and confident.
"Okay, get ready and go now!"
So he took the lead and led 100,000 veterans to set off quickly.
The remaining 100,000 were also led by another general, following closely behind, not daring to slack off in the slightest, as if they were afraid of missing such a big battle.
However, soon, they still pulled a certain distance from the 100,000 horses in front of them, and they seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
That night, because the other party's reinforcements would arrive tomorrow, Mu Qianmei did not arrange for the soldiers to go to harass, but stayed on the mountain, while preparing, and at the same time recuperating to meet the upcoming war with a huge disparity in strength.
In Zhang Xiaoting's tent, although the soldiers were all hungry and a little out of spirit, because their reinforcements could arrive in the morning, they all cheered up and waited excitedly for the arrival of reinforcements.
The night was calm, and when the sun rose in the east, it finally ushered in a new day.
The 150,000 troops sent by Yun Tianxiao to support also came to the camp where Zhang Xiaoting's army was stationed.
Zhang Xiaoting led all the soldiers to welcome him.
After looking forward to it for a few days, they finally waited for their reinforcements, and everyone seemed very excited.
It was not only the rescue that was happy, but more importantly, the reinforcements also brought food and grass.
After the welcoming ceremony was completed, everyone couldn't wait to open the pot and cook.
The 70,000 soldiers who had not eaten for several days smelled the smell of rice, and they stared at the cauldron on the fire one by one and swallowed their saliva.
Waiting for the meal to start has also become a very painful thing.
Finally made a meal, and the hungry soldiers devoured it one by one.
The eating appearance, like a criminal who has just come out of prison, has no time to chew carefully, and eats it all in a few bites of a bowl of rice.
The appearance of eating is ugly, and the scene is extremely "tragic".
Everyone was full of food and drink, it was already around noon, Zhang Xiaoting saw that everyone's spirits were finally rejuvenated, so he no longer hesitated, immediately gathered the army, and ordered loudly:
"Go to the Yunlong Mountain Range and set off immediately."
Although there are memories of the last fiasco, everyone is still a little scared in their hearts, but the military order is like a mountain, and now there are more than 150,000 horses, and there is a little more confidence in their hearts, so they will march towards the Yunlong Mountain Range.
Mu Qianmei and the others stood on the mountain peak, watching Zhang Xiaoting's army from a distance, and slowly came to the foot of the Qingfeng in the Yunlong Mountain Range.
From the arrival of their reinforcements to the announcement of their departure, Mu Qianmei has been paying attention, and when the other party was eating, this side also hurriedly filled the soldiers' stomachs and prepared for battle.
Seeing their mighty army of more than 200,000 marching towards this side, Mu Qianmei couldn't help frowning.
Because of their firmness, Mu Qianmei also smelled a bit of a crisis.
"It seems that they already have an idea, this time everyone should be careful, if the preparations are broken, we must not meet them head-on, we must evacuate as soon as possible, evacuate in the direction of the depths of the Nantang grassland, and avoid their edge."
"Alright, everyone is ready, ready to meet the enemy!"
Mu Qianmei gave an order, and all the soldiers picked up their weapons one after another, and according to the prior arrangement, they all walked to their rightful positions.
