Chapter 280: The audience is excited
Yu Wei snorted: "When you say this, it seems that Songhu City is now in danger, so ...... So what now?"
Shi Ziling said: "Anyway, I had already planned to return to Songhu City to recruit troops and horses to expand the scale of the Songhu Army, since there is a change in the imperial court, without further ado, I will immediately lead the special attack division to return to Songhu City from the south. ”
Before this redistribution of deployed troops, Shi Ziling had selected a group of elite soldiers from the legion to be incorporated into the special attack division to supplement the losses of the previous battle, and after the remaining men and horses were assigned to Yanzhao Pass, the entire Songhu Army would only be left with the special attack division to be flexibly dispatched.
Shi Ziling originally planned to lead the special attack division back to Songhu City as a model for expanding the legion, so as to further strengthen and improve the Songhu Legion as soon as possible, but now that he is worried that Songhu City will be in trouble, of course, he has to return quickly.
After explaining a few words to Zhao Xiong, Shi Ziling took Ma Yu, Yu Wei, Duanmu Brothers and others to lead the special attack division and immediately set off in the direction of Narcissus City.
Two days after Nangong Xia returned to Narcissus City, he suddenly received a report that Shi Ziling had led a team to come, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly went out of the city with his son Nangong Bo to greet him. After the meeting, Shi Ziling told the latest movements of the imperial court and expressed his concerns.
Nangong Xia was surprised: "I have just returned to Narcissus City not long ago, and I have already heard the news that the imperial court sent the Silver Swallow Legion, but I didn't think much about it. After you say this, the situation is really very serious, if the imperial court is determined to deal with you Songhu City, wouldn't it be the same as our sneak attack on Mijing City?
Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure that this is the case yet, I'm just worried that Songhu City is empty of troops and has to guard against it." Anyway, I was going to go back to expand the army, but now I'm just speeding up the trip. ”
Nangong Xia shook his head and said: "Ziling, you don't know what to do, now the news that you defeated Li Yuan's army and unified the northwest land has spread all over the world, and many people have spread your Songhu army to the gods, and even said that you are a god descending from heaven, and the people also say that only you Shiziling can hope to end the situation of our Mingyue Continent's years of division and war in one fell swoop." ”
"The imperial court has always been the most taboo about this kind of folklore, since everyone says that you are destined to return, it is not strange for the imperial court to deal with you, but I didn't expect them to learn and sell so early this time. In my opinion, it is extremely likely that Hui Yinghong's Silver Swallow Legion will attack Songhu City. ”
"Although Hui Yinghong is a female general, I heard that her martial arts strategies are quite good, and the Yinyan Legion has always been one of the three major legions in the capital, and her combat power will not be much worse than Luo Linhai's Yellow Dragon Legion. I don't know how many people you have in Songhu City now, can you resist the Silver Yan Army?"
Shi Ziling said: "Since the successful formation of our Songhu Legion, the total number is less than 80,000 people, and I took more than 50,000 people with me on this expedition, leaving only more than 20,000 people and horses in Songhu City. And some of the city defenders in Songhu City have been merged into my Songhu Legion before, and then they sent 50,000 horses to pretend to be our Songhu Legion to Black Dragon City to attract the attention of the outside world, and there are almost not many left. ”
"Now there are only more than 10,000 auxiliary defense troops in the city, plus the remaining men and horses of the Songhu Army and the thousands of people in the main camp of the city defenders, at most about 40,000 people. Among them, only the more than 20,000 people of the Songhu Legion have real reliable combat power. If they only rely on them to deal with the 100,000 horses of the Silver Yan Legion, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky. ”
Nangong Xia said: "If there is such a huge difference in strength, even if your special attack division rushes back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save the situation." ”
Shi Ziling said: "Before, Su Songyi's 20,000 city defenders have returned to Songhu City first, I don't know if Lu Dao can arrive in time, plus my special attack division of more than 15,000 people, a total of 780,000 horses." As long as Songhu City has not been taken by a sneak attack, then it can barely be fought. Senior, if it's convenient for you, you might as well support me with tens of thousands of horses. ”
"This?"
Nangong Xia couldn't help frowning, his Narcissus Legion only had a total of 100,000 people, and the 50,000 horses and horses that accompanied the Shiziling expedition this time were extremely attritional, and only more than 2,000 people came back at the end. If you support tens of thousands of horses in Shiziling, your own Narcissus City will be a little unstable.
Nangong Xia said with some hesitation: "This ...... Ziling, you know the way, I don't have a lot of men and horses, and I almost lost as much as 50,000 on this expedition with you, otherwise I will reinforce you......"
Before Nangong Xia finished speaking, Nangong Bo beside him hurriedly said: "Otherwise, we will support your 30,000 horses, anyway, there is no danger on our side of Narcissus City, just let these 30,000 horses go out to experience and experience." ”
"Thirty thousand?"
Nangong Xia said anxiously when he heard this: "Thirty thousand is a bit ...... It's a bit much, isn't it? The combat power of our legion is far inferior to that of the Silver Swallow Legion, and I am afraid that there will be a great loss once we encounter it......"
Nangong Bo was surprised: "Dad, didn't you say that this time you should make up your mind to rectify military affairs and improve the combat strength of our legion? Actually, I have long had this intention, but I have been denied entry. This time I had the opportunity to learn from Brother Ziling's Songhu Army, and I wanted to personally lead 30,000 horses to help, and by the way, I also asked Brother Ziling a lot about how to lead the army. ”
Nangong Xia sweated on his head, and said embarrassedly: "Ziling is going back to save the emergency, his special attack division is marching extremely fast, how can I have time to learn from you how to lead the army and command?" You better stay in Narcissus City honestly, or ...... It's better for me to go. ”
Shi Ziling saw that Nangong Xia was a little reluctant to send troops, and he didn't want him to be embarrassed, so he said: "Senior, I rushed to Songhu City to rescue the emergency, and indeed there can't be a moment of delay on the road, so it's okay, you can decide how many troops to send after you discuss it slowly, no matter how much." ”
"In fact, as long as Songhu City is not taken by a quick sneak attack, I am still very confident that the enemy will be repelled in the future, and at that time, as long as your men and horses are waiting for an ambush on the periphery, they will be able to catch the other party off guard. ”
When Nangong Xia heard this, he immediately applauded: "This is the best, as long as we don't have to directly confront the Silver Yan Legion, I can still set up an ambush or something on the periphery." I will lead 20,000 horses to arrive later, and I will set up an ambush on the outskirts of Songhu City at that time, just wait for you to repel Hui Yinghong's Silver Swallow army, and I will give her a surprise attack, Ha Lu Ha ......"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Then it's a word! Without further ado, I'll take the opportunity to take the road first, and you will follow, senior." The virtue of helping hands will be rewarded in the future. ”
After saying that, Shi Ziling took his leave, and immediately led the special attack division directly through Narcissus City and marched towards Songhu City. After they left, Nangong Bo asked Nangong Xia Dao: "Father, why were you a little reluctant to help the army just now? Isn't Shiziling our close ally?"
Nangong Xia sighed: "Son, I'm also scared of being beaten." Last time, I also said that it was aid, and it was quite good at first, I always led the army to hide behind, and there was no damage to the people and horses along the way. But then I just promised to help and sneak attack from behind, but who knew that the men and horses that were beating us were all gone at once, and only about 2,000 of the 50,000 horses were left. ”
"Alas, it's really hard to say about the war, our Narcissus Legion's combat strength is not good, if we go head-to-head with the Silver Swallow Legion, forget it. Isn't this very good now, Shi Ziling will go to repel the Yinyan Legion first, and we will set up an ambush in the back to pick up the cheap, and I don't think there will be much damage. ”
Nangong Bo said: "But if Brother Ziling's troops are not enough, they may not be able to repel the Yinyan Legion, if they make a mistake, what is the use of us setting up an ambush later?"
Nangong Xia shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this, Shi Ziling's battle is the same as his martial arts, it doesn't seem to have any advantages, but when it comes to competition, others can't beat him." Didn't he say that as long as Songhu City was not taken by a surprise attack, he was confident that he would repel the Silver Yan Legion. Li Yuan's army was killed by him, what is a mere silver swallow army, you can rest assured......"
In the capital of Shiziling in Songhu City, since Shiziling left, several ladies have been very worried, worried about whether their husband's expedition to the northwest will be successful. However, they also knew that the Dao Shiziling could not be turned back in a short period of time, so they spent most of their time on practicing.
Fortunately, after a long wait, good news finally came one after another, Shi Ziling first made a surprise attack on Mijing City, and then took Yan Zhaoguan lightly, and then fought a decisive battle with Li Yuan's army in Black Dragon City with Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion and won a great victory.
After the news reached Songhu City, the whole city was excited, from Su Bairen, Duanmu Hong, Ma Dai and others, down to the ordinary people, they were all elated, and they were excited that Shiziling's Songhu Legion could achieve such good results, and they were also proud that the eastern part had finally risen to become a decisive force in the Bright Moon Continent.
Of course, the wives of Shi Ziling were even more excited, and they asked Yu Yuting, who was in charge of inquiring about news and collecting intelligence, if he had received any new news, hoping that Yu Yuting could tell them more about Shi Ziling's progress ahead.
On this day, Yu Yulan, Xiao Hui, Su Zhirou, and Su Fengxian were discussing the progress of the front line in the inner hall, and only Bai Qingshuang was not in the mansion because she was in the military camp. Su Zhirou said: "Judging from the current news, Fujun has won the three major towns in the west, and it is no longer a problem to control the entire northwest land, so I don't know how he will progress next." ”
Su Fengxian said: "Then there is no need to say, of course, according to the original plan, the middle of the division is drawn, and then the Tang Jingtian Luo Linhai is wiped out, and then it is to kill Yanjing City, pull the emperor down from the throne, and then sit on the emperor's throne himself, so that it is a great success! Of course, we are also the imperial concubine, wow hahahaha......
All the wives were trembling with laughter, and Xiaohong said angrily: "Sister Fengxian, you said it easily, how can it be so easy to lead a leader to fight! It sounds like the Songhu Legion wins easily every time, but I think it must be extremely difficult." ”
