Section 11 The Battle of the Outlying Cities (1)
It wasn't until someone came to report on military affairs that Ling Luo got up and said goodbye: "Later, it is said that our army will join forces with the Divine Soul Army to send troops against the Wei army, and if it goes well, it will break through the remote cities." At that time, it will also need to rely on the power of Wu Zun. ”
"Xinhou, don't worry. ”
"Excuse me. ”
When Ling Luo walked out of the big tent, he heard the indifferent tone of July in the tent, "Send a letter to Elder Autumn Leaves, and then say that in the early hours of the morning - Immortal Fall." ”
There were not many defenders in the remote city, and in order to prevent the Zheng army and the Divine Soul army, the troops were gathered in the Guancheng to the west and north of the remote city.
When the night was dark, the Wei army was full of food and rest as usual.
Just after the time of the child, most of the Wei troops were already asleep.
Dozens of miles of military camp tents were covered with black clouds, and there were no stars or moons in sight.
The night watchman looked up and saw no manned kites gliding through the air.
Some horsemen in the camp secretly carried weapons and infiltrated the target's tent.
In the dark night, the sky suddenly lit up with countless fires. Only then did the Wei army sentry see those firelights reflecting the figures in dark robes, and in an instant, torches flew and fell from the sky. Large tents were set on fire, horses neighed in the barracks, their hair burned in flames, and dozens of places where grain and grass were stored were blazing.
"There is a fine annihilation!"
"Enemy attack!"
More than 300 masters of the Flying Immortal Sect who came on kites fell from a height of seven zhang, and all of them unfolded the Immortal Falling Mortal Dust Palm Technique, and the energetic light lit up a large area, and when they landed, dozens of Wei soldiers died tragically!
Several white-clothed Divine Determination Sect masters flew over the walls of Guancheng with the wind and entered the camp directly, and the bows and crossbows of the Wei army were all shocked by their body protection skills. Qi Qi exerted the wind rising style, the three-mile radius suddenly fierce wind, blowing those burning tent flames suddenly stretched several times, without waiting for the Wei army to put out the fire, those flames burned the surrounding camp tents, and in a short time the flames have been inextinguishable spread.
A large number of Wei State martial cultivators arrived at this time, and with a shout, "Zheng Guoshen Decisive Sect and Flying Immortal Sect are not arrogant!" each selected a target and rushed over to besiege those Zheng Guo masters who were wantonly killing people in the military camp.
The chaotic Wei army did not forget to defend against the large-scale invasion of the Zheng army, and when a large number of soldiers and horses rushed to Guancheng for reinforcements, a red figure suddenly flew down on the hillside of Guancheng.
The general defending the city hurriedly ordered people to release arrows, and when he saw that the figure was falling from a high place and was about to fall to the city wall, suddenly the figure rotated at high speed in the air, and the wind rose out of thin air, whistling and shaking people's eardrums.
"Hurry up and release the arrows! That's Zheng Guowuzun Qiuye, can't let her immortal fall mortal dust hit the city wall!"
The rain of arrows flying on the flat ground was all swept away by the strong wind brought by the swirling red shadow, and the masters of the Jianyue faction who stayed on the city wall drew their swords one after another, and when they saw that the figure fell less than five zhang, they flew together and stabbed with their swords.
Unexpectedly, he flew up, and as soon as the sword was stabbed, it was knocked out by the swirling red shadow, or fell back to the city wall. Seeing the red shadow fall down the city wall, the pair of Qianqian jade palms suddenly launched two palms and pressed on the city wall.
The Wei army on the city wall only felt a tremor under their feet, and then saw the bricks and stones of the city tower bursting until all the green bricks of the city gate were shattered, and the entire city gate fell and pressed, killing a group of Wei soldiers who could not dodge.
Outside the city, the killing was loud, and the cavalry of the Zheng army was like a pack of wolves, rushing straight over.
The autumn leaves on the city wall killed the guards with one palm, stretched his waist for a long time, and smiled at a few Jianyue faction masters who surrounded him.
"After the fall of the Wei State, where will the Jianyue faction go?"
After that, she suddenly attacked, knocked away two Jianyue faction masters with both palms, and stepped on the broken city wall again, kicking up a large piece of rubble, and smashing to death a group of archers at the head of the city.
On the one hand, the Wei army assisted the Jianyue faction and the Wei State of large and small martial arts masters to besiege the masters of the Flying Immortal Sect and the Divine Decisive Sect, while fighting fires and reinforcing Guancheng to resist the invasion of the Zheng army.
For a time, the night was lit up by a continuous fire, and the shouts of being killed were filled.
When the fire broke out, the people of the immortal soul led by Chen Shui in the remote city attacked the defenders, and there were many generals in the defenders of the city who killed people to respond, but in half an hour, the huge remote city fell under the control of Chen Shui. The 10,000 defenders suffered less than a thousand killed and wounded, and the rest all surrendered. The flag of the Wei State at the head of the city was replaced with the black flag of the Divine Soul Army.
Chen Shui ordered people to put on the armor of the Wei army and rushed to Beiguan for help.
When the North Pass Guard heard that the remote city was being attacked by the Divine Soul Army from nowhere, he was in disbelief.
Unless the Divine Soul Army can descend from the sky, it is impossible to pass through the gate city and reach the remote city directly.
"This is impossible! You quickly ordered someone to arrest the soldiers who came to report, and interrogated them in detail, Ben General expected that they were the delicate costumes of the Divine Spirit Army, and they were intended to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”
A room full of generals said that they were justified, but unexpectedly, the city guard suddenly drew his sword and cut off the head of the main general.
"The situation in the remote city is urgent, this person is not saved, he must have colluded with the Divine Soul Army, the situation is urgent, and the general has the expediency to execute this traitor on behalf of the king. Quickly lead the troops and horses to rescue the remote cities, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
The group of people was furious for a moment, and someone drew his sword and angrily pointed at the city guard, "I think the person who colluded with the Divine Soul Army is you!"
The door burst open, and a figure burst in.
The generals in the house turned around one after another, only to see a man in Confucian costume who looked young and indifferent, with long hair fluttering in the wind.
"Those who do not surrender will not be killed. ”
Some of the generals were aware of the immediate crisis and did not dare to speak for a while, while some of them angrily shouted, "Rebel......!"
Before a shout could be heard, the blue light sword qi flying from Wang Dajian's sword had already killed the man on the spot.
The deputy city guard sat proudly in the position of the city guard, stared at a room of generals and asked, "The 800,000 Divine Soul Army is outside the pass at this moment, and the West Pass has been broken by Zheng Guo's army, and the Wei State will soon die." I would have given you this opportunity in the love of a colleague, and you can still make meritorious contributions if you abandon the secret and surrender to the light as soon as possible, and those who delay in making a decision will miss the opportunity and even kill yourself!"
The seven or eight generals in the room only hesitated for a moment, then they successively clasped their fists and saluted, and said in unison, "We are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and swear to follow the service!"
"Okay! I order you to lead your soldiers and horses to support the remote city, and after you reach the remote city, you can't attack, and then retreat, at that time the Divine Soul Army has already entered the customs, you must persuade your soldiers and horses to recognize the situation and surrender to serve!"
"I'll take my orders!"
When the generals went out, the king was worried.
"Will these people really be obedient?"
The deputy city guard smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are only these two dead people who don't know the current affairs, and others will not be stupid to accompany Wei Guo to death." ”
Half an hour later, Bu Jingxian led the Divine Soul Army that poured out of the nest into the pass, and saw the main general of the city guard and Wang Da.
When they heard that the Divine Soul Army had really come to 800,000, both of them were shocked.
"Beijun poured out of the nest, how to defend Licheng and other places?"
"You don't have to worry, there are some defenders left at important checkpoints such as Licheng, and there is no need to defend other places at all. Only 1,000 soldiers and horses were left in this pass, and the rest of the soldiers were divided into two routes, one led by two to attack 38 cities along the map markers, and the other was led by me to flank the Wei army engaged with Zheng's soldiers. Keep in mind that no more than 300 troops should be left in the city along the way, and no more than 1,000 troops should be left in the city, and all the grain and grass should be taken away with the army. Those who do not surrender and are not suitable for release are all killed, do not take prisoners, and all the materials in large and small cities, villages and towns along the way are taken away with the army, forcing the people to participate in the war with the army, and the old and young are responsible for taking care of the transportation of military materials. The fleeing Wei army could not divide the troops to pursue, but only attacked the city all the way. ”
"This ......" Wang Da and the lord of the city will find it difficult to agree, so that the fleeing Wei army will be able to capture the Guancheng after gathering, and although a large area of land will be captured at that time, there will be many remnants of the Wei army in the land to occupy the large and small Guancheng. It is even possible that the base area of the city was captured by the remnants of the army. This is completely counterintuitive.
"Licheng is just an empty city, and all the food and grass have been brought with the army. Even if the remnants of Wei bravely captured it, it didn't matter. At this moment, Wei is weak, and if he does not take the opportunity to attack the city and pull out the village, it will be difficult to attack after the defeated soldiers and horses here flee back. As long as these marked cities are breached by you all the way, Zheng Jun will then attack the cities here and here. At that time, Wei was under the full encirclement of Zheng's army, and there was no chance of direct engagement with our army. No matter how many Wei troops counterattack our Guancheng, they will fall into an urn, with neither reinforcements nor supplies, and many people will voluntarily surrender without our laborious encirclement and suppression, and the rest will be easy to exterminate. As long as the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are in hand, these fortresses are only empty when they are captured by stragglers. Do you understand?"
Wang Da was very surprised, and he felt more admiration for Bu Jingxian in his heart, only that he felt that he was more powerful and more powerful than expected.
The city guard was already familiar with military affairs, and after listening to the explanation of the step shocking immortal, he couldn't help but be amazed.
"Beijun is really clever! Attack the city with lightning speed, reduce the defenders of this large area of land in the northwest of Wei into pieces, take advantage of the momentum of the Zheng army to avoid engaging with the Wei army, and then use the momentum of catching turtles in the urn to deal with the scattered stragglers of the Wei State. It turned out that this was the consideration of Beijun to give up the fertile land and let Yu Zheng Jun!
After the man left, Bu Jingxian pulled Wang Da and whispered, "There is still a layer of risk in this matter, and it is really a last resort for this person to lead the troops to attack the city and pull out the village." The battle to flank the large army of the Wei army did not dare to waste the slightest combat power, and there was currently no other suitable candidate in the Divine Soul Army who could lead the army except Zhao Ji. This person will definitely not encounter resistance all the way to the city, but he is not a person in my way, in case he has a different intention to monopolize those lands, he can only rely on you to take care of it! The 200,000 Divine Soul Army that went with him has already received orders, and they will all obey your orders, and the materials along the way must be firmly in their hands, and if there is an unforeseen change, all the materials will be burned, and as long as there is no military rations, he will not be able to become a climate. ”
Wang Da was surprised.
"I'm just meeting Beijun for the first time, and Beijun dares to give me a heavy responsibility?"
Bu Jingxian couldn't help but laugh and said, "I am also a seeker of the will of the divine soul, why do you say such things." What people in my way seek is not glory, wealth, and power, but only to realize the will of the divine soul. How could I not be at ease?"
"Beijun rest assured! If he dares to have a different heart, my sword will never spare him!"
Wang Da said, took the sword and walked through the door.
