Chapter 149: The dice have been thrown

As of noon, the three corps commanders sent out all the special operations teams of their own corps at the same time, and Wen Jiming also immediately notified the military headquarters to urge the First Artillery Brigade and the Second Artillery Brigade, which were still marching halfway, to speed up their advance.

The Second Artillery Brigade was formed at the beginning of the year, and the First Artillery Brigade was expanded at the beginning of the year to become a full-fledged artillery brigade, and now both brigades are brigades with 120 howitzers and a full strength of 5,000 men.

Now looking at the location of these two brigades from the map, it should be about 400 kilometers away from Changshan County, considering the road conditions of this dirt road, Wen Jiming himself estimated that it would take these two brigades ten hours later to reach Changshan City.

The long wait of the Ming side finally paid off at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the special combat members of the Second Army Corps found traces of the opponent's army fifty kilometers from Changshan County to Xiping County!

Great Xia's army was hiding in a hill more than eight hundred meters away from the avenue at this time.

The entire hill had been covered by the army of Great Xia, and since there was a large forest between the avenue and the hill, it was difficult for this army to be spotted by the people outside the hills.

In order to calculate how much strength this Great Xia army has, these special combat team members deliberately walked along the periphery of the Great Xia army, and this process took them three and a half hours, and finally came up with an approximate figure.

The entire Great Xia army will not be less than 1.2 million at least, and it will not exceed 1.5 million at most!

After detecting this, this group of special combat team members left a dozen members to continue to monitor the movements of this Great Xia army, while the rest ran back to Changshan City to report this information to their army commander.

When Wen Jiming got this information, he finally let go of his heart.

It's not easy!

But fortunately, the whole reason for the whole thing finally came to light.

As long as you find this main force of Great Xia, everything will be much easier.

Wen Jiming immediately instructed his subordinates to pass the news to the command center of the military department, and at the same time reminded them not to let the other Ming legions make any moves, so as not to let the Great Xia side detect that the Ming army had locked the position of their main army.

After analysis, Wen Jiming concluded that when the Great Xia side learned that the Ming army was stagnant tomorrow, the reaction of the main army of Great Xia would be nothing more than two kinds.

The first is to wait until the Great Xia army is assembled, and then directly set off to attack the main force of the Ming Dynasty where Wen Jiming is located.

The second is to put a part of the troops on the bright side to lure Wen Jiming's main army to attack, and then flank at the same time from several sides to annihilate the main force of the Ming Dynasty under the command of Wen Jiming.

Wen Jiming estimated that the Great Xia side is likely to choose the first response.

Because, if Great Xia really had an army of 1.5 million and an absolute superiority of more than three times, they would definitely come directly to attack the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

So the reason why there is no action at present, a big factor, is that there are other Great Xia reinforcements that have not been in place.

So I guess by daylight tomorrow, everything will be revealed.

In any case, it is still necessary to do a good job in this aspect first, so Wen Jiming issued an order, ordering the three legions to immediately start reinforcing the current improvised fortifications and putting on a posture of defending on the spot.

When the order was issued, the entire Ming army immediately took action and began to renovate its simple fortifications, so that the entire Ming army's defense line immediately turned into a huge construction site, and there were Ming soldiers who were working on it everywhere.

Undoubtedly, such a big movement would soon reach the ears of the Great Xia commander on the opposite side.

Wen Jiming hopes that this move can induce the other party to make up his mind to attack him tomorrow.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the two artillery brigades that Wen Jiming was looking forward to finally arrived at Changshan City.

But instead of resting, they were given the order that all officers and men should not rest, and that they must establish their own artillery positions behind the fortifications in front overnight.

Luckily, all the ensuing action was well covered by the darkness of the night.

And just like that, the Fourth of June passed quickly.

After another quiet night, the 5th of June arrived.

As Wen Jiming expected, Great Xia's army received three more reinforcements from afar before yesterday evening. The strength of the main army of Great Xia directly exceeded 1.6 million people!

This figure is almost close to the sum of the number of armies of all the princes that the Great Xia court is currently able to mobilize.

Then the next war has now become a major war related to the national fortunes of the two countries, especially for Bactria .

If this Great Xia army loses in this war, then the entire Great Xia territory will no longer have any strength to stop the pace of the Ming army.

The Great Xia court also has no chance, and if they organize a decent army, all the struggles will be meaningless at that time, and the fate waiting for them will only be a failure.

When it was 10 a.m. on June 5th.

Wen Jiming finally got the good news he had been waiting for for a long time, the main army of Great Xia was dispatched!

The main army of 1.6 million Great Xia poured out of the nest and came straight to the defense line established by Wen Jiming!

January 7, 49 BC in the history of the earth.

Under the influence of the Roman general Pompey, one of the three giants of the Roman Republic, the Senate of the Roman Republic issued an ultimatum to Caesar, the general of the Republic, to dismiss him from military power.

At this point, Caesar, the most famous Roman commander in history, was faced with only two options.

Either obey the decree of the Roman Senate, dismiss the military power, and return to Rome alone, he may be rich and worry-free for the rest of his life, but his political life will be over.

Or they will blatantly trample on the existing rules and, like many of their predecessors before them, lead their troops across the Rubicon and march into Rome to defend their honor and safety by force.

Caesar, the future Emperor, quietly led his troops to the Rubicon, and before crossing the bridge, Caesar gave an inspiring speech to his soldiers, at the end of which he uttered the most famous words in the entire history of mankind.

"The dice have been rolled, and things are inevitable."

This meant that Caesar had embarked on a big gamble that if he succeeded, he would take complete control of Rome, and if he failed, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever as a traitor.

And he won!

Now, when Wen Jiming heard that the main army of Great Xia was rushing towards his own defense line, he also said loudly to all the officers around him.

"The dice have been rolled, things are inevitable, let us work together!"

This sentence, many years later, also became a famous saying of Emperor Wen Jiming, of course, at that time, the title of Emperor was just his lowest title.

After Wen Jiming became the king, he wore his latest military uniform of the Ming Empire Army specially designed for the king for the first time.

This gorgeous special military uniform of the king of the Ming Army is so conspicuous among hundreds of thousands of troops.

The enemy can clearly see this unique military uniform from a long distance, and the same is true for the soldiers of the Ming army.

When King Wen appeared in front of the army wearing this big red army uniform, all the soldiers shouted a little frantically.

"Long live the King!"

Yes, now Wen Jiming is already like a god in the hearts of all ordinary soldiers, and everything about him is very worshiped by these soldiers.

In the minds of these soldiers, their king is the god of war, invincible, invincible, and invincible, and will also lead them to another victory today.

As for the words, the enemy is several times larger than the Ming army.

That's not a problem!

In that battle with King Wen, wasn't the other side several times larger than the Ming troops?

As a result, they were wiped out every time, and our army was almost never damaged in battle.

Yes, there has been no battle damage!

It is precisely for this reason that Wen Jiming is already synonymous with omnipotence in the hearts of the soldiers!

The dice have been rolled!

Let's wait and see!
