Chapter 352: Chain Reaction

Hearing Tong Yang's words, Peng Huang and Zhang Junran's eyes lit up, and they immediately understood what he meant, while the rest of the generals were confused, not understanding how they could wipe out the wind army outside the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the dazed and puzzled looks of the generals, Peng Huang and Zhang Junran looked at each other and smiled, and said, "You still don't know how our army wiped out the Feng Army in the northern battlefield, right?"
The news of the victory is indeed very exciting, but when you think about it, this battle is indeed incredible, the strength of the enemy and us is almost the same, how can you wipe out the wind army?
Zhang Junran said with a smile: "Our army was able to win a big victory in this battle, all thanks to the secret weapon developed by His Majesty before. β
"Secret weapon?" the generals looked at him dumbfounded.
"Artillery and firearms!" Zhang Junran said: "These two weapons are both firearms that were secretly developed and powerful under the supervision of His Majesty after the imperial court mastered the gunpowder technology. The soldiers of the northern battlefield were able to defeat the wind army because of the two weapons of artillery and firearms. And now, in our Xiong Town, we have these two weapons hidden!"
In order to achieve a surprising and winning effect, the protection of firearms in the Ningnan Imperial Court can be said to have been done to the extreme, even in the Central Army of Nanning, except for the corps commander and deputy corps commander, most of the generals did not know the existence of these two things, and the soldiers on the face did not know anything. : Black ||Rock | |ι£ε³ε―ε θ΄Ήθ²»η‘ε½ηͺθ§η
After listening to Zhang Junran's narration, everyone present looked at each other, and they couldn't react for a while. Tong Yang continued: "Now that the soldiers of the main battlefield in the north have won a great victory with firearms, we don't have to hide anymore, and we can finally take out the firearms that have been hidden in Xiongzhen for a long time and use them." Speaking of this, he smiled at Peng Huang and Zhang Junran and said, "The loyal and righteous people who were thrown into prison by us before can also come in handy now!"
Peng Huang and Zhang Junran understood, looked at each other and smiled.
Tong Yang's calculation was correct, the Feng army outside Xiongzhen really didn't know the news that the main force of his central army had been defeated in the Amdo Plain in Luolong County.
The battle in Xiongzhen has dragged on for so long, and there is no way for the Ningnan army to defend Xiongzhen, and the soldiers of the Feng Army are already very anxious.
That night, Shangguan Xiu, Tang Wanyun, and several core generals in the army discussed countermeasures in the camp tent.
Qu Jing frowned and said: "It is reported that His Majesty has led the main force of the Central Army to approach Luolong County, and the main force of the Ningnan Army has also assembled in the Amdo Plain of Luolong County. If we can rush to the Amdo Plain, we will be able to launch a surprise attack behind enemy lines when the Ningnan Army is in a decisive battle with the main force of our army, so as to ensure a complete victory for our army! But now, our army is trapped outside the city of Xiongzhen and cannot move, so it is not a way to go, and we will miss the decisive battle on the Amdo Plain!"
Everyone present understood this. Tang Wanyun asked, "What is General Qu's good strategy?"
"County Lord, can we ...... Bypass Xiongzhen and head straight to Luolong County?" Qu Jing asked tentatively.
"No!" Without waiting for Tang Wanyun to reply, Wu Nian shook his head again and again, and said: "Bypass Xiongzhen and march directly to Luolong County, then the 100,000 enemy troops cowering in Xiongzhen will become a knife behind our army, and they may be killed from behind our army at any time." At that time, it will not be our army that will sneak attack behind enemy lines, but will become behind the enemy's sneak attack on our army!"
"That's right! What Mr. Wu said is very true!" Hu Chong continued: "Moreover, bypassing Xiongzhen, our army will have no logistical supplies to speak of, and the rear road will also be cut off, and our army will become a lone army deep into the enemy's territory, and once the battle does not go well, our army will be in danger of being annihilated!"
"However, we can't be dragged to death here by the 100,000 enemies in Xiongzhen, right?!" Qu Jing spread his hands, looked around at everyone, and asked urgently.
Tang Wanyun rubbed her chin and was silent. The battle of Xiongzhen has indeed dragged on for too long, delaying the opportunity for their own side to participate in the frontal battlefield, and giving up the attack on Xiongzhen and detouring into Luolong County will be like Wu Nian and Hu Chong said, their own side will face a lone army situation where supplies are cut off, and it is good to be able to smoothly join His Majesty's army, if not, the army of more than 100,000 people will run out of food and be isolated, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
After thinking about it for a long time, she turned her head to look at Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Lord Shangguan, you have attacked Xiongzhen, can you be sure that the grain and grass in the city were burned at that time?"
"This ......" When Shangguan Xiu led the army to attack Xiongzhen, he did burn a large amount of grain and grass in the city, but as for whether it was all the grain and grass hidden by the Ningnan army in Xiongzhen, he was not sure. He hesitated, shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that all the military rations hidden in the city were burned at that time, after all, time is pressing, and I can't do too thorough investigation." However, the military rations we burned at that time were at least millions of stones, and I don't think that the Ningnan Army still has more grain and grass reserves in Xiongzhen. β
"If this is the case, the enemy army in Xiongzhen City should have run out of food a long time ago......" Before she could finish speaking, a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, and saluted Tang Wanyun and Shangguan Xiu respectively, and said, "Lord County, we have just captured a group of Ningnan troops who ran out of Xiongzhen City. β
"Oh?" Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up, and now they were worried about the situation in Xiongzhen City, and they didn't expect that pie would fall from the sky so soon. Shangguan Xiu raised his head and said, "How many people are there in the captured Ningnan Army?"
"Hui Yu, not a hundred. β
"Very good! Take them all to the Chinese military tent. β
"Yes, sir!" the soldier agreed, turned and ran out. When he left, the corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, smiled leisurely, and said, "Whether the enemy army in the city has run out of food, I think we will know soon." β
Not long after, under the escort of a large number of Feng troops, more than 100 soldiers of the Ningnan Army were taken outside the tent of the Chinese army.
The appearance of these soldiers of the Ningnan army is too miserable, all of them have yellow and thin faces, gray heads, sunken cheeks, and cheekbones bulging outward, and they don't know whether their military uniforms and armor are one size bigger or what, and they are all walking around on their bodies.
Shangguan Xiu, Tang Wanyun and the others came out of the tent of the Chinese army, and when they saw the appearance of this group of Ningnan soldiers clearly, everyone almost laughed. Where is this still like a soldier in the army, it is like a disaster victim fleeing the famine.
There were a lot of soldiers of the Ningnan soldiers who stood in place and shook, and a few others could not stand anymore, sitting on the ground, and the surrounding Feng army strode forward, using the spears and spears in their hands as sticks, and beating them with their heads and faces, and the soldiers of the Ningnan soldiers sitting on the ground screamed and stood up again, but the people stood there, their legs trembling.
After reading these details, Shangguan Xiu smiled secretly in his heart and asked, "How many legions are you all from the Ningnan Army?"
"Little ...... The smaller ones are the ones of the Seventh Legion. "The villain belongs to the Fifteenth Legion!" "The villain is ......," Zhong Ning replied in a rambling manner.
Shangguan Xiu raised his hand to stop their answers, then smiled slightly and asked, "You went out of the city overnight, but you came to steal the camp?"
"No...... No, my lord, I ...... I'm going to sneak out of the city and come ...... ...... who have come to surrender to the Wind Army," a Ning Nan soldier with a captain's mark stammered.
"Oh, you're here to surrender, why?" Shangguan Xiu approached the captain, put his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile, "What mistakes did you make in the city?"
"I didn't ...... No, we ...... We really can't stay in the city, we can't hide it, my lord, we haven't had a grain of grain for two days!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "I beg your grace, as long as your lord is willing to give us a bite to eat and give us a way to live, I am willing to break my bones for my lord......"
"Please be merciful, give me a bite to eat......" The Ning Nan soldiers behind also knelt on the ground and kowtowed forward.
Shangguan Xiu glanced at Tang Wanyun, who smiled at him tacitly. Shangguan Xiu squatted, patted the captain of the Ning Nanbing on the shoulder, and said, "I can give you food, or I can spare you from dying, as long as you answer me a few questions." β
"If the adult has something to say, just ask, the villain knows everything!"
"Hmm!Is there already a shortage of food in Xiongzhen City?"
"My lord, Xiongzhen has been out of food for two days. When we first entered the city, there were three meals a day, and then it became two meals a day, one meal a day, and in these two days, there was simply no food to eat, and we were so hungry that we couldn't stand it, so we escaped from the city at the risk of losing our heads......" When he spoke, the captain of the Ningnan soldiers snorted and cried, so pitiful, and the soldiers behind were all like him, all crying silently.
Shangguan Xiu snorted and laughed, and said slowly: "The huge Xiongzhen, it won't even have a mouthful of military rations for you, right?"
"My lord doesn't know that Xiongzhen originally hoarded a lot of grain and grass, but then ...... Later, they were all burned down, and now even the rat hole in the granary of Xiongzhen has been dug out. β
Shangguan Xiu almost burst out laughing, he waved his hand to the Feng soldiers around him, and said, "Go! Bring some dry food and distribute it to these brothers of the Ningnan Army." β
The surrounding wind soldiers agreed one after another, and after a short time, two soldiers came over with a large basket of dry food.
The dry food in the army was sun-dried pasta, which was dehydrated in order to preserve it for a longer time. This kind of thing is not good or bad, it is as hard as a stone, but it can fill the stomach.
Seeing that the Feng army carried a large basket of dry food over, the eyes of the Ningnan soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were about to glow green, and they kept swallowing saliva one by one, and their eyes were about to fly out of their sockets.
Shangguan Xiu looked at Ning Nanbing, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move, and said with a smile: "Aren't you hungry?
With his words, the more than 100 Ning Nan soldiers rushed towards the bamboo basket containing the dry food with a roar as if they were hungry tiger mountains, grabbed the dry food inside, and stuffed it into their mouths regardless of the ground. Shangguan Xiu looked at the soldiers of the Ningnan army who were like wolves and tigers, explained to the surrounding Feng army, and brought a few baskets of dry food over, as long as the Ningnan soldiers were still hungry, they would let them eat as much as they wanted.
