Chapter 62: Change, Aftermath
Late at night, the commander of the Bishan military camp camped in the tent.
In the wide main camp tent, the lights were bright, and Ouyang Bo, the commander of the capital, sat on the main seat with a solemn expression, and under it, many middle and high-level generals such as the three major commanders, commanders, and staff generals stood on both sides according to their military ranks. Now it is the position of the official ruler, and the rebellion is also among them.
"Something big seems to have happened. Looking at Ouyang Bo's solemn appearance, Feng Wei whispered in his heart.
Since he became the commander, Feng Rebellion has also participated in several high-level meetings like this, and basically every time it is a discussion of tactics and strategies such as arranging troops, and in this, Feng Rebellion has always played a bystander role similar to "soy sauce". There is no way, firstly, his limited battlefield experience is not enough for him to be qualified to talk in front of these "old-timers", and secondly, with his relationship with Ouyang Bo, even if he proposes any more constructive tactics, he will definitely not be adopted by the other party. Therefore, every time such a high-level meeting, he directly looked at his nose and nose, and entered the state of fugue outside the world. However, this time was different from the past, and his keen intuition told him that there was probably something wrong with the gathering of the middle and high-level in the army.
Sure enough, the first sentence of Ouyang Bo's mouth proved that his premonition was indeed not wrong.
"Everyone!"
Eyes swept over everyone's bodies one by one, Ouyang slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you a very bad news, a few days ago, the Gale Empire suddenly sent six innate masters to attack the Cangshan military camp, and the Cangshan army suffered heavy losses, and all of them were all seriously injured by Cheng Gang and the three major commanders under the seat. ”
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked. Since the war between the two countries, this is the first time that a congenital master has intervened in the war, and there are six of them as soon as they make a move, which is really a big deal. You must know that in addition to the main military camp where Tianwu Hou is seated, the other five major military camps have only one capital commander and three great commanders and four innate masters.
"The participation of innate masters in the war means, I think you all know very well, Lord Tianwu Hou has passed down the order, I and all the soldiers and horses of the five major military camps, including the remnants of the Cangshan army, will immediately go to Cangzhou to join the main army, and then, gather all the troops of the Northwest Army to fight with the Gale Empire, and for this decisive battle, the two lords of Zhenwu Hou and Renwu Hou will also go out!" Ouyang Bo said solemnly.
"Hey, the two Wuhou lords are out of the horse......" Hearing this, everyone was shocked again.
The six great martial marquis of Great Qin are all the top masters with outstanding military achievements and superb martial arts, among which the true martial marquis ranks fourth, and the Renwu marquis ranks fifth, it is reported that the strength of these two martial marquis has reached the innate peak realm many years ago, and it is not far from the realm of the high grandmaster, plus a Tianwu Marquis whose strength is even higher than the two, the three major martial marquis are all in battle, it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the decisive battle between the two countries this time.
"Lord Dutong, according to the order of Lord Tianwuhou, our Bishan army must immediately rush to the main camp in Cangzhou, but the problem is that we are currently in a stalemate with the Gale troops on the opposite side, if we evacuate in a hurry at this time, the other party will inevitably follow and pursue, and in this way, our army may suffer a lot of losses. At this time, the Great Commander Tian Xu said with a frown.
"Not bad!"
The other commander, Pei Jiansheng, also nodded, and said in a deep voice: "That Li Zhengde is as cunning as a fox, and we will never be able to hide any movement from our army, and it will not be easy to retreat safely without spending a single soldier." ”
"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind about retreating. The corners of Ouyang Bo's mouth curled slightly, and he said confidently: "As you and others said, it is naturally impossible to retreat without spending a single soldier, but there are many ways to minimize the losses of the army, such as sending a force to break the rear." ”
"After the break?"
Tian Xu nodded: "Well, this is indeed a way to minimize the losses of the army, but the other side has four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and if you want to drag the other party's army and let the large army of our army have enough time to evacuate, this will leave at least tens of thousands of troops behind, that is, a commander phalanx, I don't know, Lord Du Tong wants to assign that commander to lead the army after the break?"
While speaking, Tian Xu glanced at Feng Wei, who was standing in the tent, without moving. With his wisdom in commanding troops for many years, he immediately guessed the other party's mind from Ouyang Bo's words of the broken queen. This kind of thing is ten times more dangerous than the vanguard to open the way, since history, there are few troops who have served as the broken end to have a good end, think about it, tens of thousands of people have to drag the other side hundreds of thousands of people, but also must fight for enough time for the large army to evacuate, this is simply a desperate task of nine deaths. And with the relationship between Ouyang Bo and Feng Rebellion, such a desperate mission knows who it will fall on with his ass.
Not only Tian Xu, but at the same time, the other two commanders and many generals in the camp also looked at Feng Wei, obviously, like Tian Xu, they all understood what Ouyang Bo was thinking.
Sure enough, as soon as Tian Xu's question came out, Ouyang Bo directly locked his eyes on Feng Rebellion, and said slowly: "The stakes are very high this time, so naturally it must be handed over to a capable person, in the many battles in the previous month, the phalanx led by the Feng Commander performed very well, I think, this task after the break will be handed over to the Feng Commander to complete." ”
"Such a heavy task, the last general may not be able to take on it, not to mention, whether the tens of thousands of sergeants under my account can hold the opponent's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at a low level, just if the other party dispatches an innate commander, these tens of thousands of people under my account will be defeated in an instant, so Lord Metropolitan should choose another meritorious. Feng Wei refused with an expressionless face.
"Commander Feng is too worried. As if guessing that Feng Wei would refuse, Ouyang Bo said without changing his face: " Although the other side has a large number of soldiers and horses, but our side occupies a geographical advantage, as long as you take advantage of this advantage, you may not be able to block the opponent's army, besides, I am not letting you fight to the death with the opponent's army, you only need to hold on for one or two hours, and after our army withdraws from a safe distance, you can give up your position to come to join the army, in addition, I will also leave you a batch of siege crossbows and various defensive military materials, I believe that there is no problem at all with your ability to hold on for one or two hours, as for the opponent's innate masters, you don't have to worry, as soon as our army withdraws, there will only be tens of thousands of people left in your phalanx, according to the war agreement between the two countries, a battle with a scale of less than 100,000 people, no innate masters must be dispatched, and the other party will not dare to break the contract. ”
Ouyang Bo's words are reasonable, and at first glance it seems to be true. But if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out that these words are just some high-sounding empty words. Tens of thousands of people versus hundreds of thousands of people, and they have to block it for two hours, such a situation, unless it is to occupy the geographical advantage of that kind of natural risk. But the reality is that the camp where the Bishan army is now stationed is only halfway up the mountain, although it does occupy a certain geographical advantage, but it is still far from the natural danger. I am afraid that there is no one in the entire Bishan military camp who dares to say that it can block the strong wind and hundreds of thousands of troops for two hours based on such geographical advantages.
Besides, the other party's innate masters, although according to the agreement between the two countries, the innate masters of battles below the scale of 100,000 people are not allowed to participate in the war, but the agreement is a to put it bluntly, who can guarantee that the other party will abide by the agreement? Moreover, in the mixed environment of the battlefield, if an innate level master wants to secretly play a black hand, he can do it without knowing it, and you don't know who did it even if you die.
All in all, Ouyang Bo's words are simply an excuse, an insidious excuse to reasonably harm and rebel. However, surprisingly, after listening to Ouyang Bo's words, Feng Wei surprisingly did not refuse, but hugged his fists with an indifferent expression: "In this case, then the general will take the order!"
In fact, from the very beginning, Feng Wei knew that he could not refuse this task, and Ouyang Bo clearly wanted to use this so-called post-break task to get rid of him, so how could he let Feng Wei resign? Feng Wei's previous refusal was just a means for him to retreat and advance, in order to win more military funds. He dared to guarantee that if it weren't for his deliberate refusal before, Ouyang Bo would definitely not have left him with a batch of expensive siege crossbows and a lot of military resources for defense so easily.
Anyway, knowing that he couldn't push off this post-break task, he naturally had to find ways to increase his advantages. At least, with this batch of military funds, he will be able to resist the other side for some more time, and coupled with the effect of "military and military skills - encouragement" and a certain geographical advantage, it is not completely impossible for him to hold on for an hour or two. Of course, the most important thing is that Feng Rebellion is not a fool, and he has never sworn to stick to it, if he really can't do anything at that time, where will he care so much, just lead the army to retreat, he will not be so stupid that he must hold on for two hours before running.
Ouyang Bo didn't know the thoughts in Feng Rei's heart, seeing that Feng Rei was quick to accept the order, he only had to do this when the other party knew that he had no way out, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Very good, Commander Feng is really the pillar of my Great Qin Empire, today, I put my words here, as long as you successfully complete this post-break task, a third-class merit will definitely not be able to run away." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Feng to reply, he directly waved his hand and said aloud to the other generals in the camp tent: "Okay, this matter is decided, you will immediately return to your respective battalion headquarters, quickly prepare for it, and before sunrise tomorrow, the whole army will retreat." ”
"Yes, Lord Totoko......"
