Chapter 251: Hurrying In
"Messing around?"
Duanmu Xuan said angrily: "Why am I messing around? The commander of the regiment can rush into the camp of Li Yuan's 100,000 troops with a special attack division of 15,000 troops, and what is the big deal with our 30,000 or 40,000 people rushing to a small road with an ambush? Leading the troops to fight is a risky thing, if you are afraid that you will take a detour, I must not let go of this opportunity to defeat Li Yuan in one fell swoop!"
"I am the right commander, and my position is above you, the captain, since the corps commander and the military division are not there, I will naturally be in charge. If the legion commander has indeed entered the Black Dragon City and sees us rushing into the camp, he will definitely lead the special attack division to attack with us on both sides to attack Li Yuan's legion. ”
Wei Song was choked by Duanmu Xuan, and wanted to continue arguing with the Duanmu brothers, but he knew that the other party was the temper of the young master of the family, and he had never taken a low-level general like himself in his eyes, and the more he argued, the more stiff he became. But seeing that there was a chance that Brother Duanmu would suffer heavy losses if he led the troops like this, Wei Song was so anxious that he really didn't know what to do.
Early the next morning, the Duanmu brothers excitedly led the men and horses to set off for Longma Road, and Wei Song, who had no choice but to take his own men and horses to follow behind them, swept the battle for them, but fortunately they only walked out of five miles away, and they ran into Shiziling, who had just passed through Li Yuan's camp and quietly rushed over.
In order not to alarm the people in Li Yuan's camp, especially in order not to alarm Li Yuan, Shi Ziling was very cautious all the way through Li Yuan's camp, and he didn't dare to do anything at all, for fear that he would arouse Li Yuan's vigilance under the influence of the qi.
finally sneaked all the way out of Li Yuan's camp, but it was already dawning. At this time, Xue Zhengyang had already led 30,000 horses and horses to hurry to Longma Road to complete the ambush, and Shi Ziling had to carry out the Extreme Lifting Technique to sneak through the hillside woods on both sides of Longma Road.
When he finally got out of Longma Road, and avoided the mobile secret post set up by Xue Zhengyang in front of the road, he just breathed a sigh of relief and didn't go far out of the road when he saw a large group of soldiers hurrying towards this side from afar.
Shi Ziling took a closer look and saw that it was the men and horses of his Songhu Legion, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. When the Duanmu brothers and Wei Song heard that Shiziling was coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet each other.
Shi Ziling asked, "Didn't I ask Leng Hu to inform you that there might be an ambush ahead, didn't you go in such a hurry?"
Wei Song looked at the Duanmu brothers helplessly and was silent, Duanmu Xuan said with some grievances: "We estimate that the legion commander should have successfully entered the Black Dragon City, and we are worried that your troops are not enough to support for too long, so we want to rush over to help as soon as possible." Even if there is an ambush ahead, there shouldn't be many people and horses, and as long as we are careful, we won't suffer anything. ”
Shi Ziling glared at Duanmu Xuan fiercely in anger, and said: "Confused! This dragon horse road in front is quite sinister, and when I came, the other party had already ambushed 30,000 horses on both sides overnight, and it was almost impossible for you to force your way through." Fortunately, I arrived in time, but if I had been a little late, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
Although the Duanmu brothers were arrogant, they were obedient in front of Shi Ziling, and they didn't dare to have the slightest resentment, Duanmu Lun snorted: "We are worried that the commander of the legion will be outnumbered and difficult to hold out for too long, and besides, we finally have the opportunity to attack Li Yuan's army on both sides, and we see that victory is in sight, so we ......."
Shi Ziling knew that the Duanmu brothers must be eager to win, and they were in a hurry to send troops to break through when they were impetuous, and he was inconvenient to scold these two precious grandsons of the Duanmu family, so he immediately softened his tone and said: "This place is too close to the enemy's outpost, you should quickly lead the team to retreat, so as not to startle the snake." ”
It was only after the Songhu Army retreated five miles and re-stationed that Shi Ziling gave a general account of the situation of rushing to the camp before.
Wei Song and the Duanmu brothers were both happy and a little worried when they heard this. Wei Song said: "The corps commander is really powerful, and finally rushed to the camp in time at an incredible speed, I'm afraid that even the army division can't imagine that the corps commander's trip can be so smooth." As a result, Li Yuan's army is in an unfavorable situation of being attacked by the enemy, and as long as we deal with it properly, we do have a chance to defeat the invincible Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop. ”
Duanmu Xuan said: "It's just that now Black Dragon City is only garrisoned by our special attack division, and there are almost no men and horses left of the Xiahou family, and now that the legion commander has left Black Dragon City, if Li Yuan's army attacks fiercely, I don't know how long Weihu Yuwei can support them." ”
Shi Ziling said: "The defensive ability of the special attack division is undoubted, and with top masters like Xiahou Yuan and my father-in-law Bai Wuya in charge, it should be safe and sound within five days." I plan to wait for Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion to arrive, and then make an appointment with him to launch a general attack on Li Yuan's Legion in five days. ”
"Five days?"
Duanmu Xuan asked with some concern: "Why do you need five days? I always feel that five days is too long, and if something goes wrong, the situation may be reversed." ”
Shi Ziling nodded and said: "You are right, although it is a good time to defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop, the opponent still has a strong strength, if we take a wrong step, it is completely possible to bury the opportunity of great luck." I also hope to launch a general attack as soon as possible, but there is an enemy ambush on the Ryoma Road ahead, and we must take a detour, which will take at least two days on the road. ”
"Coupled with the time of waiting for Nangong Xia, and the need to let the team repair a little before the general attack to keep them in the best condition and go into the big battle, this set the general attack time at five days later. If Nangong Xia comes fast enough, or if Black Dragon City is really critical, we can also consider bringing the time forward appropriately. ”
Duanmulun said: "In that case, should our Songhu Legion be the first to hit the road?"
Shi Ziling said: "No, let's wait for Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion to come and determine the time." If they come early, we will start earlier, and if you leave first, it will be difficult to inform you of the rescheduling. ”
"We must be in step with each other in this general attack, and we must not make a mistake, because if we miss the opportunity, we may lose all our efforts. You must be very tired along the way, so let's take the team to rest first. ”
It was useless for the Duanmu brothers and Wei Songzhi to be anxious, since there was Shiziling strategizing, they immediately took the order to arrange for the team to rest.
In the afternoon of the next day, Nangong Xia's narcissus army finally arrived in a hurry. Shi Ziling went to greet him in person, and Nangong Xia was surprised to see that Shi Ziling was still here, and hurriedly asked what was going on. When Shi Ziling told him about the situation in the past two days, Nangong Xia was greatly relieved.
Nangong Xia sighed: "Ma Yu told me that your men and horses were going directly to Black Dragon City, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that the situation must be very urgent, so I hurriedly led the team to hurry over, for fear that I would not be able to catch up with the general attack on Li Yuan's army." You kid is really powerful, you have already walked back and forth to Black Dragon City, how can your marching speed be so fast?"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "This time it is really lucky, almost every one of our actions is smooth, so far we have firmly occupied the lead, as long as the next step is not a mistake, Li Yuan's army will definitely be defeated under the enemy." ”
Nangong Xia said with a smile: "Li Yuan's strategic wisdom is by no means below you, and his response can be regarded as seamless, but I never thought that you still have the trick of soul dementoring, and you actually used Li Xiaoyao to withdraw his ambush, so that it fell into such a passive situation now." ”
"Then came the decisive moment, and we rushed here from the east and south with all our might, for such an opportunity to defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop. ”
Shi Ziling said: "The seniors arrived a day earlier than I expected, so that our plans may be able to advance accordingly, I don't know what the seniors think?"
Nangong Xia agreed: "Of course, the sooner the better, the night is long and you will inevitably dream a lot." However, I am still a little concerned that our total strength is a little less. ”
Shi Ziling asked how many men and horses Nangong Xia had brought over, and was a little surprised when he learned that Nangong Xia had only brought 30,000 horses this time.
Nangong Xia said with some embarrassment: "I left 20,000 horses to guard Mijing City, you know, after all, it is the largest city in the west, and it is always reassuring to leave more people to control, hehe......"
Shi Ziling frowned and said: "Senior, we have traveled thousands of miles just to defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop, why should we care so much about the gains and losses of one city and one pool? I only left 10,000 troops in Yanzhao Pass, of which 5,000 were incorporated and surrendered, which is expected to be enough." Now that the decisive battle is imminent, a little more troops will give you more certainty. ”
"Huh?"
Nangong Xia was surprised: "You only left 10,000 horses in Yanzhao Pass? Ma Yu, that kid clearly told me that you left 30,000 horses." Oh! I know that this kid must have deliberately fooled me! This kid is so bad, we are allies, he not only guards me everywhere, but also deliberately fools me to come early, which really me off!"
Shi Ziling couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said for Ma Yu: "Senior, you misunderstood, Ma Yu is also worried about my safety, so he tried his best to encourage his predecessor to come to support me as soon as possible, I think he must have no malicious intent." ”
Nangong Xia shook his head and sighed: "Your military advisor is too slippery and too smart, but you can't blame him entirely, I admit that my old man does have some selfish intentions, and always hopes that your Songhu Legion can rush to the front line to take the lead, hoping to save a little more strength for his Narcissus Legion." ”
"Hehe, you kid is more sincere, don't worry, since I'm here this time, I must not miss this good opportunity to defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop, as long as I can defeat Li Yuan, even if my 30,000 horses are all wiped out, it will be worth it." ”
