Chapter 413 Fengqi Wutong (2nd Watch)
The army arrived in Suzhou, and then it took half a day for 450,000 people to land and form a formation along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ying Chong also knew the latest news about the old Shangxian King and the 200,000 Hun cavalry.
Just an hour ago, when their fleet had just arrived in Suzhou, the 200,000 horsemen had just passed by.
With only a few hours left, they may be in Suzhou and intercept this remnant army. It is a pity that this river can no longer go north, and after Suzhou, the river begins to turn in the direction of eastern Hebei. Otherwise, the old 200,000 riders will have another two hours at most, and they will intercept them.
There is also news that the 130,000 cavalry troops scattered by King Zuogu Li in northern Hebei are also gathering in the direction of Jimen County at this time.
This is also a powerful army, once it merges with the old Shangxian King, it can still form a heavy army cluster of 330,000 horsemen, which cannot be underestimated.
The fault is not that the Huns' bow can only shoot about ten rounds, and the combat power of these 330,000 cavalry can even surpass the 450,000 Qin troops under his command.
Since they have not given up Jimen, their goal is to return from Jimen County. ”
Ying Xuanniang deduced with war games: "There are only 50,000 people to block our army in the northern city of Hebei." They can draw at least about 300,000 horsemen and attack the clouds with all their might!"
Ying Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the map carefully, and always felt that the old man's intention was not so simple.
"But the food in their hands should be insufficient now—"
Those Hun iron horsemen, leaving millions of cattle and sheep behind, does not mean that they have no food. The pieces of dried meat that these knights carry with them can last for more than ten days.
But the problem is that the horses, these nearly a million dragon foals, don't just have to eat grass. Not only do you have to process hay for every meal, but you also have to eat plenty of good soybeans and grains.
The millions of stones and grass he seized in Ansha County before came from this. Most of them are actually fine grains for war horses.
In addition, some special horses, like iron horned dragon horses ridden by iron dragons, even require a certain amount of meat.
And once the horsepower is insufficient, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army, even if they retreat to the grassland, it is useless.
"There is not much grain in northern Hebei, only about 320,000 stones, plus 70,000 sheep. Most of the rest have been transported by the Huns to the grasslands and clouds. At this time, no matter how much the Huns loot, they can only provide them with half a month's needs at most,"
Ying Xuanniang's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she fell into contemplation: "In other words, even if they blockade Jibei City, they will only have half a month left to break the blockade of Yunzhong County." ”
She didn't think that the clouds where Li Jing was stationed would be broken through by the Huns so quickly. More than 100,000 troops over there defended the danger, and the 300,000 cavalry of the Huns had to damage at least half of them before it was possible to break the city.
Especially in the case that the Qin army's Quantian powerhouse and onmyoji have an advantage, the possibility of Zuo Xianwang's breakthrough is less than one percent.
And the army under Yingchong's command is not unable to take the Mayi detour.
-- Since the other party's food can only be needed for half a month. Then the Qin army only needs to stick to the defense line in the clouds with one piece, and then wait for the old man to run out of food.
This Jimen County seems to be the only life of the Huns, but in fact it is also a dead end.
"But do they have any other way to go besides Jimen County?"
From Jizhou to the grassland, there are only two roads, one goes to Mayi, the other goes to Jimen, and finally they all need to pass through the clouds.
In fact, the Mayi side is safer, the terrain is open, and the direction of Yunzhong County cannot be completely blocked. The Jimen is different, there is a narrow road, the width of the north exit is only more than 30 miles, only three or five large dock forts can block this road.
But the problem is that now, only Jimen County has the food that King Zuoxian needs.
Ying Chong looked at the map, and couldn't think of anything. In his opinion, the possibility of King Zuo Xian obtaining food along the way is almost equal to none.
According to the report of the embroidered guard, since the Qin army's victory in Hanquanyuan, this news has spread wildly within the scope of Jizhou.
This made countless 'righteous armies' in northern Hebei and central Hebei swarm. Those wealthy families who escaped by luck and hid in the mountains and forests, as well as the fleeing government army, etc., all popped up like weeds. The total number is two or three hundred thousand, distributed in all directions.
These people can't resist the army of King Zuoxian, but it is still difficult to entangle them in the local area to defend the city of Chiwu Fort.
At this time, the Qin army returned to northern Hebei, where did the wealthy families in various places dare to take risks and provide assistance to the Huns? Aren't they afraid of the Qin court settling accounts after the autumn?
Now that there are 450,000 Qin troops chasing behind, where does King Zuo Xian still have time to fetch grain?
But just rushing to Jimen County like this is also a dead end, will the old man be willing?
Ying Chong thought for a moment, but still shook his head slightly, he couldn't think of a second way for the time being.
It seems that his army only needs to march all the way to Mayi City and block this road in advance, and then he can win another total annihilation victory.
But Ying Chong still felt uneasy, feeling that he seemed to have missed something. But where it was missing, he hadn't thought of yet.
But for the sake of completeness, he still dotted on the map.
"Inform the defense envoys and government troops of the cities in eastern Hebei that they must be careful during this time. Send someone to see the king of Jingbei again, the old man may have the possibility of going east, let him pay attention to one or two. If possible, please send a clan army of Guyuan Lu to the eastern front of Guyuan County and deploy defenses along the river. ”
Ying Xuanniang's face was confused, and her eyes were weird. I thought to myself, how could King Zuo Xian go east, and he wanted to rot the meat in the pot?
On the eastern side of Hebei, there is no road to the grassland to the north. Unless it is to climb the Helan Mountain, which is 7,000 zhang high and full of monsters, or to go to the Xiongguan Jingcheng that is not open to thousands of people, and enter the Zhao realm.
But what is the difference between this and death?
And with the power of the Guyuan Lu clan, he can raise an army of 300,000 in the three counties of eastern Hebei at any time.
That's the real elite, and it's not comparable to the rabble under Ying Chong, it's not easy to provoke-
Subconsciously felt ridiculous, but Ying Xuanniang thought of Ying Chong's foresight and foresight these days, and still agreed. Just send a few messengers, and it doesn't take much effort.
In addition, Xin Qijian was temporarily appointed as an envoy to the Yunzhong regiment, and ordered 60,000 people under his command to rush to Yunzhong County and obey Li Jing's dispatch. ”
Ying Chong was quite promising, for the army in the Night Wolf Valley. With the help of this liberated elite army, Li Jing will definitely be able to hold the clouds without losing them! The Night Wolf Valley is closer, and the time it takes to reach the clouds is much faster than them.
And Xin Qiji, he also admires it. The position of the group training envoy in the clouds is not high, but it is the limit of what he can do now.
After all, he is now only supervising the military of Jiwan, not the real Jizhou Jiedu envoy. However, with Xin Qiji's exploits in fighting the Huns for dozens of days, he could protect this person afterwards and serve as a three-grade defense envoy.
After arranging the march with Ying Xuanniang and the strategy they would adopt next, Ying Chong, Ying Chong, Ying Yue'er and Xu Chu boarded a flying car pulled by a four-headed pterodactyl, left the army, and headed straight to the northeast.
After walking for about a day, another battle report reached him along the way. However, it was the 70,000 Hebei troops who surrendered to the north because of their meritorious service, and they were too eager to advance, and they were ambushed by the old man of Zuoxian.
Fortunately, he was prepared for a long time, and after ordering 3,000 iron dragoons to cruise with the mountain guards, he provided timely support, so that these northern Hebei armies were not wiped out.
The losses in this battle were not large, only 5,000 dead and wounded. However, all units of the Qin army were greatly frightened, and they all slowed down the pace of pursuit, and became more cautious and cautious along the way.
This battle made Ying Chong and refreshed his evaluation of the old man. Being able to successfully ambush the Qin army under the constant observation of more than a dozen power heavens, this person's skills are indeed worthy of the level of famous generals.
However, Ying Chong was not worried, and he had no intention of returning to command. At this time, there will be no trouble on Ying Xuanniang's side. Although his second sister's command talent is far less than that of the old man.
But if King Zuo Xian wants to turn the tables with his current strength, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.
And only half a day later, he saw a high mountain towering.
It was a mountain about 9,000 zhang high, and from 6,000 zhang upward, it was covered with snow. And when it came to a height of seven or nine zhang, it was a fiery red color.
It was a plane tree, a huge plane tree growing next to the crater.
To stimulate the blood of the Xuanniao, no matter what time of year and where. But if he wants to maximize his body and body while stimulating the blood of the Xuanniao, he needs to use the help of the sycamore at noon. The phoenix perched on the sycamore has its own reasons.
The Divine Tree Sycamore, one of the ten spiritual roots, can no longer be found. Fortunately, 17,000 years ago, there was a golden immortal named Tieguan Dao who planted a seed of a divine tree sycamore on the top of this snowy peak. After about 17,000 years, a fire-crowned sycamore with a radius of 3,000 zhang was formed.
And now this Xuefeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Qin Court.
Five thousand years ago, Great Qin expelled all the countless Xuanniao entrenched here by force. But because this fire-crowned sycamore is quite beneficial to the children of the Ying family, who are also descendants of Xuanniao, the sycamore seeds produced every year, as well as many accompanying spiritual grasses, can also be used to recruit Xuanxiu, so the Qin court did not cut it down.
However, in order to prevent this fire crown sycamore, it is used by the phoenix clan. Great Qin is stationed here with 5,000 elite soldiers, and there is also a Xuantian Realm Xuan Xiu in charge.
At this time, as soon as their carriage approached, they heard a soft shout from a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
"Who are you, dare to trespass on Xuefeng Mountain? I don't know that this place is my Great Qin Forbidden Land?"
Ying Chong didn't speak, but threw away his own seal. Then there was a cry of surprise from the Taoist temple.
"It turned out to be the envoy of the Wanzhou Festival, supervising the military of Wanzhu, and the Duke of Anguo arrived, and the minor repairs were disrespectful!"
ps: The results are miserable, everyone recommends me more monthly passes. (To be continued.) )
