Chapter 103: Nine Wolf Smokes
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. As far as the Wushu Sect is concerned, these warriors who died at the foot of the ridge all died well-deserved and glorious.
"Quickly count the number of people, reorganize the team, we must cross the Huifeng Ridge and attack Anyuan City as soon as possible!" The Vulture stood on the protective wall and gave his new orders.
"Subordinates obey."
After Wushu Jinchang was ordered to leave, Wushu turned around and saw Brian kneeling on the ground with a long knife.
"General, he is the one who commands the defense battle of Huifeng Ridge!" Lu Qi, the general beside Wushu, had already noticed this man in an ironclad battle suit at the foot of the mountain.
"Very good, arrest me, and let the South Vietnamese court take the ransom in exchange for it in the future!"
"Yes!"
Lu Qi's hand grabbed Brian's arm, and before he could pull hard, Brian fell backwards. Lu Qi was taken aback, and when he leaned over to look at it, he was surprised and said, "General, he, he's dead......
"If you die, you have to kneel to the national capital, and you can be regarded as a man!" Wushu couldn't help but praise, "Then leave him a whole corpse." ”
After a while, Wushu Jinchang hurried over, "General, something is wrong, we just counted, the Zhenxi army killed in the battle on and below this ridge is only two or three thousand, and the main force of the Zhenxi army is not here." ”
"The Zhenxi Army was forced to retreat by us a while ago, and it must have retreated to the eastern edge of Guze Mountain." Lu Qi Dao.
Wushu Jinchang frowned and said, "We fought in Huifeng Ridge for a day. At night, even if they retreated to the eastern edge of Guze Mountain, they should send reinforcements at this critical juncture......
"Did you send someone to the east to investigate?" The Wushu Jie was also vigilant.
"The scout has gone and has not returned."
Suspiciously, he turned to look at the path to the west, and as the sun rose, his vision became wider and clearer, and on the horizon at the end of his vision, several columns of blue-black smoke appeared. There was no wind, and the rows of smoke went straight into the sky, which was particularly eye-catching.
"General, that's the wolf smoke from the Mutak outpost!" Wushu Jinchang exclaimed.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...... Isn't it, there are nine !! Lu Qi also exclaimed, "Growing so big, I've never seen nine wolf smokes!" ”
The Nine Wolf Smoke is the highest level of alarm signal in the Xili Kingdom, and it can only be ignited by Wu Da Dan Yu's personal order. Not to mention that Lu Qi has never seen it, even the Wushu Jie who served as the general of the Xili Left Dragon and Tiger Army has never seen it with his own eyes.
This is a distress signal from the royal court of Kusu!!
Wushu Huo Ran woke up in shock, and immediately shouted: "Jin Chang, you immediately notify the generals, quickly assemble the formation, and rush to the Kusu Royal Court!" ”
"Yes!" After Wushu Jinchang received the order, he rushed away.
"No, the army is too slow to move, Luqi, you immediately gather the Tempest Cavalry Regiment and immediately follow me to the Kusu !!"
"Yes!"
Lu Qi took out the rhinoceros horn pinned to his waist, raised his head and blew the horn.
The Hurricane Cavalry Regiment was an innovation of the Wushu Rebellion Army, in which he selected a group of elite forces from the various military formations of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army to form a commando team, equipped with the best horses and weapons and equipment, and quickly assembled and fought when ordered to do so, while in peacetime they were responsible for training soldiers and managing military affairs in their respective military formations. This management model, which breaks up the whole into parts, can not only concentrate superior forces at a critical time, but also help to enhance the overall force value of the army.
The attack on Huifeng Ridge this time was a war of attrition, and there was no need for the Storm Cavalry Regiment, so these brave and warlike elites were still scattered in their respective military formations. At this moment, they received an order to assemble quickly, and they wanted to quickly assemble in a vast army of 200,000 people, which disrupted the array and caused panic among the soldiers.
Looking at the chaotic military formation at the foot of the ridge, Wushu regretted it, not only regretting that he did not assemble the Hurricane Cavalry Regiment in advance, but also regretting that he was greedy for merit and made the big mistake of transferring the defenders of the royal court.
*********
In the summer palace on the east bank of the Kusu River, Ling Li, dressed in silver-white armor, stood at the highest place of the stone hall, looking at the stone houses on the other side of the river, but his mind was thinking back to the events of half a month ago.
At that time, his eyes had just regained their light, and the woman who called herself Hatsu Qing suddenly left. Gu Pozi said that she went to Anyuan to contact Ji Dapang for business, but he naturally didn't believe it. The Left Dragon and Tiger Army is recruiting troops everywhere and is about to launch a general attack on Huifeng Ridge, and at this juncture, her whereabouts must be closely related to her identity. His eyes were still unable to see, and there was the Gu Pozi who guarded him all day, and it was when he was restless that Zhang Yi actually led the people from the Xiao Cavalry Camp to pick him up.
"How do you know I'm here?!" Ling Li was both surprised and delighted.
"It's a worm keeper named Mu Zhi, who came to inform us that you are here to recuperate."
She's really not a spy of the vulture?!
Is it God's mercy? At the most difficult moment of his life, he sent a girl who looked like Shen Chan to his side? Ling Li had mixed feelings in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for that girl. When the war in front of him is over, he must find her!
Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. With the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Ling Li was not in a hurry to leave Rouge Island, and he arranged for Zhang Yi to lead people to collect information in Xili. After learning that in order to attack Huifeng Ridge, in addition to recruiting new soldiers, Wushulu also transferred half of the defenders of Kusu and Dawa, he immediately decided to come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary.
The 800-mile Mohe sandbar swept by wind and sand was originally an insurmountable natural barrier. It was precisely by relying on this barrier that the Xili army neglected to defend and only arranged heavy troops to set up outposts in the Mutak area. Unexpectedly, it was the high transit tax at the Mutak checkpoint that forced the insect workers of Rouge Island to risk their lives to find another way, and finally followed the undercurrent of the Rama River and found a convenient shortcut to Huifeng Ridge.
At the same time that Wushulu gathered 200,000 troops from the direction of Mutak and rushed to Huifeng Ridge, Ling Li took advantage of the cover of night to mobilize the main force of the Zhenxi Army to quietly enter Rouge Island from the shortcut road told by Mu Zhi, and attacked all the way west to the Kusu Royal Court.
It's an all-or-nothing risky play. But if you don't take the risk, how can the 100,000 Zhenxi Army compete with the 200,000 Left Dragon and Tiger Army?! The war between the two countries has been stalemate for almost a year, and the supply of the imperial court has been very difficult. Seeing that winter is about to begin, the border land is bitterly cold, and the physique of the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army is not suitable for fighting in the ice and snow. Under all kinds of crises, Ling Li chose to give it a go.
The main force of the Zhenxi Army suddenly appeared in the territory of Xili, which made all the Xili troops stationed in Xili panic. Along the way, there was almost no decent resistance, and the Zhenxi army drove straight into the palace and successfully controlled the Kusu royal court.
