174: Crazy Sauron, Victory in the First Battle!
At this time, there were a total of four armies in the entire Tianshui City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first was an army of 25,000 assembled by Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords with the support of a large amount of gold coins from the county lord of Ning.
The second is the elite of the 6,000 city guards who have been completely loyal to Suo Hanyi.
The third is the 5,000 Linhai City army brought by Guiqinqu.
The fourth is the 4,000 secret elite, the black-clothed army, which was planted in Nurdan and other rebels early in the morning.
In other words, in a small Tianshui City, there are now 40,000 troops, which is about two or three times the size of Sauron's army.
Sauron as the attacker, the enemy as the defender, and the number is less than half of the enemy, no matter how you look at it, it is a war that must be lost.
Moreover, Sauron's army had traveled thousands of miles and was already tired. And the enemy's army, completely waiting for work, with a fortified city in hand, took the initiative.
In today's Tianshui City, Suo Hanyi has occupied the hearts of the people.
A few months ago, Suo Hanyi was assassinated by shameless assassins, Tianshui City fell, and the city guards desperately protected Suo Hanyi and killed Tianshui City.
A month and a half later, Suo Hanyi, despite his serious injuries that had not yet healed, led an army of 4,000 to attack Tianshui City again.
And he deserves to be called an invincible commander, and he has great fame and popularity in Tianshui City.
So even though there are more than 10,000 rebels, and the fortified city is in hand. But when Suo Hanyi attacked the city, the people in the city formed a righteous army to help Suo Hanyi.
Under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, in just half a month, Suo Hanyi recaptured Tianshui City.
Then, Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords bowed down and surrendered one after another, regaining allegiance to Suo, of course, this Suoshi refers to Suo Hanyi, and it has nothing to do with Soron.
It is said that after Suo Hanyi "recaptured" Tianshui City, he should immediately go and ask the real city lord Sauron to return.
But at that time, there was a lot of rumors.
For example, the assassins who assassinated Yan Nu, Suo Hanyi, and Yang Hongyi were not from the rebel faction such as Nurdan, but from the Sauron faction.
Then for another example, before he died, Count Sauron secretly wrote a suicide note, saying that Sauron was of bad character, a **** concubine, and had an affair with his sister Soning Bing, so his inheritance qualification was abolished. And the reason why Nurdan and others rebelled was precisely for this reason.
The lie is repeated a hundred times before it becomes true.
Sauron's reputation was already bad, and with these extremely vicious rumors, his reputation in Tianshui City was completely stinky.
After Suo Hanyi recaptured Tianshui City, he immediately sent an army to Ranshi Island to welcome Sauron back to Tianshui City in front of everyone.
On that day, hundreds of people blocked the gates of the city, preventing the army that greeted Sauron from leaving the city.
The next day, in front of everyone, Suo Hanyi sent ten ships out to sea and went north to Rocky Island to welcome Sauron back to Tianshui City.
As a result, the sailors on board scuttled their own ships, and not only did all the ships fall silent, but all the sailors on board also perished in the belly of the sea.
On the same day, the cry on the pier of Tianshui City shook the sky.
Hundreds of people knelt in front of Suo Hanyi and asked him not to invite the demon Sauron back, otherwise Tianshui City would never have peace, and all the people would be in dire straits.
Suo Hanyi also wept and knelt in front of all the people, saying that his father-in-law was so kind to him that he could not turn his back on him no matter what, let alone let his sister and brother (referring to Soning Bing and Sauron) be left on the rocky desert island.
After a few more days, Suo Hanyi decided to personally lead the troops to pick up the Sauron siblings on Rocky Island.
Then, his most loyal warriors and soldiers knelt in front of the city lord's mansion to give a bloody reprimand.
Seven people committed suicide, and ten people cut off their left hands, and begged Suo Hanyi to take back his life with blood.
Then tens of thousands of people in Tianshui City, thousands of Tianshui City guards, all knelt in front of Suo Hanyi, and asked him not to take Sauron back.
On that day, hundreds of samurai put their swords across their necks, and if Suo Hanyi did not agree, they all killed themselves on the spot.
As a result, Suo Hanyi couldn't cry, and finally compromised and did not take Sauron back to the city for the time being.
Then, the governor of the southeastern province, Duke Weiwei, issued a decree to reprimand Sauron, but as the lord of the city, he was absent from Tianshui City for a long time, so dereliction of duty and stubbornness. But Tianshui City can't be left without an owner for a day, so he ordered Suo Hanyi to temporarily serve as the acting city lord of Tianshui City.
Since then, Suo Hanyi got his wish and finally became the lord of Tianshui City, although only the acting city lord.
But the real lord of the city, Sauron, will never return. When he dies, the pronoun on the top of Suo Hanyi's head will be completely erased, and he will become the rightful lord of the princes and cities.
Therefore, in this battle, Suo Hanyi can be said to be the best in time, place, and people.
When he heard that Sauron was approaching the city with an army of 15,000 troops, his heart was filled with endless excitement.
The moment had finally come, and he could finally kill Sauron on the battlefield.
After discussion, the 40,000 troops in the territory of Tianshui City were divided into three parts.
In the first part, there were 6,000 guards of Tianshui City under Suo Hanyi, and 5,000 troops of the high-ranking lord army of Nurdan, a total of 11,000 people stationed in the main city of Tianshui.
In the second part, the 4,000 black-clothed troops of the county lord of Ning, the 5,000 Linhai navy of Guiqinqu, and the 10,000 troops of the high-ranking lords, a total of 19,000 people, headed for Tianluo Pass.
In the third part, the 10,000 troops of Nurdan and other high-ranking samurai lords were scattered and stationed in twenty high-ranking samurai lords, mainly to prevent thieves and robbers from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Despite dividing the 40,000-strong army into three parts, the main battlefield, or even the only battlefield, would be in the Sky Wolf Pass.
This is the consensus of the five forces of Suo Hanyi, Luning, Nurdan, Guiqinqu, and Turingduo.
Annihilating Sauron's army under the Heavenly Wolf Pass and not allowing a single soldier to enter the territory of Tianshui City was the tone set from the beginning.
......
At this time, in the castle of Heavenly Wolf Pass, the five people of the battlefield command were still arguing.
Annihilating Sauron at the Heavenly Wolf Pass and entering the territory of Tianshui City without letting a single soldier go has already been decided.
And now the debate is, should you wait for Sauron's army to attack the Sky Wolf Pass, or take the initiative?
Nurdan, Guiqinqu insisted on fighting out of the pass, taking advantage of the fact that Sauron's army had traveled thousands of miles and was exhausted, and was annihilated in one fell swoop.
However, Turingduo believed that he should wait for work at ease, use the danger of the Sky Wolf Pass to fortify the city, and drain the blood of Sauron's army.
And Suo Hanyi even thought that the troops should be divided into two routes, and sent 10,000 troops to take advantage of Baiyun County, bypass the Tianshui Mountain Range, and go to the back of Sauron's army, and attack back and forth.
Three opinions, arguing endlessly.
And the only one who has the right to make decisions, after thinking about it, found that the three opinions are very reasonable.
In the first scenario, Sauron's army was tired after a long journey, and if they took the initiative, they should be able to win, but it could be a crushing victory.
Because, Sauron's army is dominated by mercenaries, and Yan Yan is the king of mercenaries, so this army is extremely strong in the field, but it is not good at attacking fortified cities, which is determined by the nature of mercenaries.
Therefore, the first plan for Cunning is to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings.
And the third plan, send another 10,000 troops, go around the back of Sauron's army, and flank the front and back.
This is Suo Hanyi's plan, and it is indeed the way to win, and it has the least casualties.
However, Cunning could not send such an army. The 6,000 city guards under Sauron's command were originally a very elite force. However, Ning Ning left them in the main city of Tianshui, because after all, they were Suo's army, and Sauron was the real master of Tianshui City, and she was worried that this army would be sent out and would not return, and would be fooled by Sauron.
She didn't dare to underestimate Sauron's demagogic ability.
So, the third option doesn't work either.
The second plan is to sit in the fortified city, wait for Sauron's army to attack, and exhaust his blood and troops.
This plan seems to be the most modest, but it is also the most secure.
Because, Sauron's fifteen-thousand-strong army, after a long journey of more than 20 days, does not know how much grain and grass has been consumed, and there is no replenishment at all, at most ten days, the grain and grass will be exhausted.
In the Heavenly Wolf Pass, there is countless grain and grass, and the time is on the side of Cunning, not on Sauron's side.
Dian Ning looked at the four people present: "Adopt the second plan, wait for work, and use the fortifications of the Heavenly Wolf Pass to consume the army of Sauron." ”
......
Seven days ago, in Sauron's military camp, there were four people present: Sauron, Yan Yan, Yan Naer, and Tu An.
On the big table in the middle, there is a map, which is the topographic map of Tianshui City.
Sauron pointed to the Heavenly Wolf Pass on the map and said: "This is the Heavenly Wolf Pass, the only pass to enter the territory of Tianshui City, extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, hundreds of years ago, the Suo family relied on the Heavenly Wolf Pass and the Barbarian Canyon to defend the raids of the barbarian tribes, and if you want to enter Tianshui City, you must first take the Heavenly Wolf Pass." ”
The three people present nodded.
"Therefore, the enemy will definitely put the battlefield in Tianluo Pass, and will not let us enter Tianshui City with a single soldier. Sauron said: "In order to maintain their advantage, they will garrison 20,000 troops in the Heavenly Wolf Pass, except for the Tianshui City Guards, all the elites will be placed in the Heavenly Wolf Pass." ”
Then, Sauron asked, "Our army is 15,000 and the enemy is 20,000, sitting on the Heavenly Wolf Pass, can we take it?"
Yan Yan, Yan Naer, and Tu An all shook their heads.
Siege requires more than double troops, this is military common sense, and it will not change just because the commander is Yan Yan.
Moreover, Sauron's army is all mercenaries and has extremely strong field combat capabilities, but lacks the combat experience of tens of thousands of troops and the experience of attacking fortified cities.
Sauron continued: "The enemy has three battle plans, the first is to take the initiative while we are traveling. The second is to sit in the fortified city and wait for work. The third, send an army, go around our back, and flank us in front and back. ”
Sauron said: "Ning Ning, I will choose the second plan, because it is the safest and the loss is the least." ”
Yan Yan said: "Actually, the enemy's three plans are not wrong, they can all win!"
"Yes. Sauron said: "All three plans can be won, but the enemy commander Ning is a woman after all." There is more than enough scheming, but not enough courage. If I were the commander of the enemy army, I would definitely choose the first plan, gather all 25,000 troops at Tianluo Pass, take the initiative to attack, and annihilate us as soon as possible, regardless of the cost. The only disadvantage of the enemy is that the advantage is too great, and he has a lot of good cards in his hand. You can win in the easiest way, but you want to win at the lowest cost. ”
Yan Yan said: "That's because you are a madman. ”
"Yes, madman. Sauron said categorically: "We have no advantage in this battle, they have two or three times our strength, countless grain and grass, a strong city in hand, and the hearts of the people. The enemy's three plans are insolvable for us. You have to be crazy to have a chance to win, otherwise you will definitely lose. ”
Tu An said, "City Lord Sauron, what are you going to do?"
"Completely insane. Sauron's gaze was fanatical, "Turn the entire Tianshui City into an abyss of madness." ”
......
In the Heavenly Wolf Pass, nearly 40,000 troops on both sides are facing each other.
Five days ago, Sauron had a makeover and sneaked into Rocky Island.
At this time, he led twenty ships and headed south from Rocky Island. There were more than a thousand samurai on board, as well as ...... Countless gold coins.
Tianshui City and Linhai City, all coastal, Rocky Island and Tianshui City coastal, only a few hundred miles away.
The crazy Sauron only led more than a thousand people to land on the territory of Tianshui City from the sea.
"Fifteen miles further on, there are villages and small towns in Tianshui City everywhere. Sauron said loudly, "What we have to do now is to become a bandit, plunder every village and town, rob every grain they have, and drive everyone to one place, which is the main city of Tianshui." ”
"Everywhere there are ruffians, and they have an eye for money. Sauron continued, "And now, these people are our allies. We brought an astronomical amount of gold coins, and then we will not refuse these ruffians to come, and for each person who comes, we will give one gold coin. In short, our goal is to loot every village, every town, and every manor in Tianshui City. drove hundreds of thousands of people into the main city of Tianshui, and made the territory of Tianshui City completely chaotic. ”
Hearing Sauron's order, the warrior of the Suo clan was stunned, this, this is crazy.
You know, this is his own domain and inheritance. If they had been placed before, Sauron would have refused to obey, but now they have a completely blind trust in Sauron.
"Yes!" shouted in unison.
"Let's go!" Sauron ordered, then pulled on his mask.
Suddenly, these more than 1,000 warriors turned into more than 1,000 pirates and rushed into the territory of the peaceful Tianshui City.
Then, village after village was looted, and town after town was looted.
All the grain was piled up together and burned.
This terrible band of pirates only robs money and does not carry any burden.
Suddenly, countless people turned into displaced people, and they all went towards the main city of Tianshui, only there will be safety and a way to live.
Although there are 10,000 troops stationed in various high-ranking warrior domains, there are only 500 people per territory on average, and they are still second-tier troops, which is not at all the opponent of Sauron, an elite thief.
Moreover, Sauron opened crates of gold coins and kicked them to the ground. Just wear a mask and join his raiding party to take a gold coin.
These low-level soldiers, as well as the ruffians in the countryside, have never seen a gold coin in their lives, and they can't save a single gold coin for a few years.
Now, just join Sauron and you'll get a gold coin.
The result of this golden bullet offensive is complete madness.
Countless ruffians, and even second-line armies and militiamen stationed in the countryside, covered their faces with a black cloth and joined Sauron's raiding team.
In just a few days, the bandit team behind Sauron has exceeded more than 10,000 people.
This rabble, it is definitely not possible to fight a hard war, but it is not a problem to loot country towns.
Suddenly, the entire territory of Tianshui City was completely crying and howling, burning everywhere, looting everywhere, and completely chaotic.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, with no way out, have dragged their families to the main city of Tianshui.
In the main city of Tianshui, there were 10,000 troops stationed there, but without an order, not a single soldier dared to send it.
In the face of the surging flow of displaced people, the officers defending the city did not dare to stop them, and released the displaced people into the city one after another. But in the end, more and more, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The officers defending the city hurriedly closed the city gate to prevent the displaced people from continuing to enter, waiting for the order of the Heavenly Wolf Pass, which was four hundred miles away.
......
At Tianluo Pass, the confrontation between the two armies at this time has been more than three days.
Yan Yan's army of more than 10,000 still did not attack the pass, but kept building fortifications.
In the castle of Heavenly Wolf Pass, the five-person command was puzzled, what did Sauron mean by this? The troops had already approached the city, but they had always surrounded and not attacked, but began to build camp.
Don't he know that his grain and grass can't last long, and he can only wait for death if he goes on like this.
And at this moment, a messenger rushed into the Heavenly Wolf Pass, knelt in front of Wei Ning and said: "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, Sauron is leading more than 10,000 people to the main city of Tianshui, and there are already 100,000 people in a hurry. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was completely stunned.
Isn't Sauron's army of more than 10,000 outside this Heavenly Wolf Pass......? Where did he come from an army of more than 10,000?
In fact, about the news that a large number of thieves had looted the territory of Tianshui City, a day and a half ago, a flying harrier had passed the book to Tianluo Pass. However, everyone present did not take it too seriously.
Because, it is not a pity for these villagers to die, and the main city of Tianshui is fine.
Now, more than 10,000 troops of Sauron have emerged to attack Tianshui City?
Suo Hanyi's face changed drastically, and he said, "I will return to the main city of Tianshui immediately." ”
Wei Ning nodded and said, "Do you want to take the army back?"
"No, you don't need a single soldier, you can rely on the defenders of the main city of Tianshui. Suo Hanyi said: "Your Royal Highness, listen to me, Sauron is extremely cunning, take advantage of the unstable enemy camp outside the Heavenly Wolf Pass now, and immediately take the initiative to attack, otherwise it will be too late." ”
"I have my own ideas. "Cunning said.
A moment later, Suo Hanyi led a team of guards to rush out of the Heavenly Wolf Pass and rushed back to the main city of Tianshui at the fastest speed.
......
At this time, the main city of Tianshui has been completely chaotic, and countless homeless people have gathered outside the city, and it is not clear which ones are thieves and which ones are homeless.
And the more than 10,000 thieves gathered by Sauron with gold coins are still like a virus, plagued everywhere, and the number is increasing.
Because, countless ruffians and scoundrels have come one after another and taken the initiative to take refuge.
At this time, this rabble, mighty, headed towards the main city of Tianshui.
However, a few days ago, Sauron had blended in with the outcasts and entered the main city of Tianshui.
At this time, it was already outside the City Lord's Mansion. He has only one purpose, to rescue Suo Hanyi's wife, Yang Hongyi.
