Chapter 217: Collusion with each other
After the two Zhongzhou generals left, the three commanders all looked puzzled, and Wei Chilin looked at the prince very puzzled and asked,
"Your Highness, let the Zhongzhou army transport siege equipment, what about the West Gate of the Tiger Prison, we have no army to mobilize now",
Wei Chilin was worried that the siege army was insufficient, but the prince didn't care about it, and just replied with a little contempt,
"The local army in Zhongzhou is a rabble of people who eat mixed rice, the army is untidy, undisciplined, and there are even those who were trampled to death during the formation, how can there be a little bit of army appearance, send them to the West City Gate, what else can they do except send them to death",
The prince's eyes were cold, and his words revealed disdain and anger towards the local army in Zhongzhou, but it was no wonder that the prince was angry, the latter had commanded the army for many years, and the requirements for military discipline and execution on weekdays have always been strict.
Moreover, the second-line troops like the Zhongzhou Local Army, which are far away from the battlefield and go deep into the interior, have much worse military discipline and combat effectiveness than his southern Xinjiang army.
Yu Chilin's face was slightly solemn, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at the prince and said cautiously,
"Your Highness, no matter how bad the combat effectiveness of the Zhongzhou Army is, it is also the only army we can mobilize at present, will abandoning them affect the strategic layout of our siege city",
Wei Chilin said with some concern, after all, tomorrow is the time to launch a general attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, but the attack on the West City Gate has not progressed, which will undoubtedly affect the overall layout of the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass.
The prince was silent for a moment, and then said slowly,
"I have already arranged the attack on the West Gate of the Tiger Prison, and I abandoned the Zhongzhou Army because I already have a better candidate to attack the West Gate",
The prince's tone was indifferent, and there was a precautionary confidence between his eyebrows,
"Then who shall we send",
The three commanders said almost in unison, the prince did not speak, and did not answer the questions of the three, but just turned his head,
"Come out",
I saw him put his hands behind his back and slowly spit out three words to the back of the hall, and in the next second, a man with a black veil walked out of the curtain, in the stunned eyes of the three commanders.
Went straight to the front of the main hall, although the faces of the people who came were covered, but the dress of the people who came in mink fur and strange hair bundles could be seen at a glance that they were from the grassland tribe.
Yu Chilin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the prince and asked cautiously,
"Your Highness, I don't know who this ......?" ,
At the same time as Wei Chilin asked, Luo Qi and Chen Feilong's eyes were also staring at the visitors who were standing at their level.
In the royal palace of the Eastern Capital, when the war was about to break out, why did a person from the grassland tribe appear, the prince looked indifferent, and the appearance of uninvited guests was obviously part of his plan.
The prince stood with his hands in his hands, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the three commanders and said slowly,
"Haven't you always been curious about what arrangements I will make for the deployment of attacking Tiger Prison Guanxi City, this is it",
The prince paused, randomly pointed to the person who came, and continued,
"Let me introduce you three, this is the general of the Xijon army...... Panwu",
The words also looked at the latter and said slowly,
"General Panwu, these are the three major commanders of Southern Xinjiang, the most powerful generals under my command",
Pan Wu just glanced at the three of them, and didn't make any more gestures, he hugged the prince, and said slowly in a very polite but full of Rong Di accent,
"Panwu has seen the prince of the Central Plains, His Royal Highness has the talent to strategize and win thousands of miles at a young age, and our Prince Yuli is also very optimistic about this cooperation with the Central Plains Dynasty."
Pan Wu said lukewarmly, the three commanders glanced at each other, all with solemn expressions, and the three of them didn't say a word, but they already understood what was going on in the current scene.
The prince intends to join forces with the tribes of the Western Realm to deal with the Winner Army together, no wonder he will not hesitate to make the decision to abandon the Zhongzhou Army and cooperate with the tribes of the Western Realm.
I'm afraid that before he arrived in Zhongzhou, he had already been included in the prince's plan, and he wanted to use this powerful enemy in the western border of the Tiger Prison to achieve the goal of exterminating the winner's army.
Although they are far away in the southern Xinjiang, they have heard of the affairs of the western border, the Xirong army has always been known for its ferocity and brutality, and before the Tianbao Rebellion, it has always been the most terrible enemy of the Ziwei Dynasty.
Such a strong tiger and wolf army is indeed much more powerful than the Zhongzhou army, and such a terrible enemy is placed outside the gate of the Tiger Prison Guanxi City,
It will indeed bring a great threat to the winning army, thus greatly improving the certainty of winning the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, and cooperating with the Xirong army is no different to the advantage of this war.
But from the perspective of the overall situation of the border defense of the dynasty, this behavior of the prince is tantamount to luring wolves into the house, and the tribes of the western realm have been eyeing the Central Plains for many years.
They must have had their own plans when the imperial court went to war with the winner army, and before the winner army was exterminated, they were allies.
But after the winner's army was wiped out, the Xirong army marched eastward, how should they deal with a big war just after they had just experienced it, and besides, although the winner's army was out of the control of the imperial court,
Standing on the opposite side of the Ziwei Dynasty, the prince led his troops to encircle and suppress, but these are also internal things in the Central Plains, what does it have to do with these grassland barbarians?
As the generals of the dynasty, they asked themselves whether they were unwilling to cooperate with the Xirong army, and they couldn't tell whether the prince's gamble-like choice to lure the wolf into the house was right or wrong for a while.
The latter sat down again on the prince's chair in the main hall, and after a pause, he looked at Panwu and asked,
"General Panwu, our southern Xinjiang army has made a full deployment for attacking the Tiger Pass, the army will be mobilized tomorrow morning, and all the equipment used in the siege will be transferred today.
"As soon as noon arrives tomorrow, a full-scale attack will be launched on Tiger Prison Pass, I don't know how your preparations are."
Panwu leaked a meaningful smile, and after a moment of silence, he looked at the prince and replied,
"Prince, don't worry, my Xirong Iron Cavalry has already been assembled, and the 100,000 vanguard army is stationed at the border of the grassland, as long as I give an order, the vanguard army will immediately move eastward, and the day after tomorrow will be put into the battle against the Tiger Pass."
The prince thought for a moment, then looked at the latter and asked,
"What does General Panwu mean that the Xirong army can launch an attack on the West Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass the day after tomorrow?"
The latter waved his hand and looked at the prince at random to explain,
"Your Highness, don't you know, there is a Great Wall Plateau 30 miles west of the Tiger Prison Pass, which was built and established by the Zhenxi General Win Wuxian in person.
"It is a natural barrier to the west of the Tiger Pass, and it is also the top priority of our army's attack on the Tiger Pass this time, it is no exaggeration to say that compared to the West City Gate, this place is the West Gate protection of the real meaning of the Tiger Pass."
