Chapter 569: Joining forces in one place
Catching deer ridge is not a ridge, but a ridge layer upon layer, the mountain is curved, there are many pines on it, there are many deer singing in it, the valley is resounding, and the Ling Ling is endless. On weekdays, this is the place where the nobles in the cold land city hunt deer, so it has the name of catching deer ridge.
Today, this mountain range is dusty, and most of the pine trees on the ridge have been cut down, and military camps have been erected. From time to time, people gallop out and rush to various places, and there are also falcons circling back and forth in the air.
Most of these military villages are based on small hills on the ridge, which are more than 20 miles long, and they are intertwined with each other in order to cover and respond. The whole military village is slightly in the form of a huge figure of eight according to the direction of the mountain, like two arms stretched out.
The largest military fortress was located in a place called the Bone Mountain, four or five miles from the front. This is where the main camp of the Southern Army is located, and Ji Ye is stationed here.
Now Wu Jian is hurrying up the mountain with Hu Jia, preparing to enter the Southern Army camp to see Ji Ye. The men and horses they brought were placed in the north of the company camp, and most of the south was given to the southern army.
When he arrived at the gate of the camp, there was someone waiting here, and Wu Yan knew him at a glance, it was Ji Nan who went to Qiyun Mountain to greet him.
"Zhenfu, the young master is waiting for you in the tent, please come with me." Time has passed, Wu Gen is no longer the existence of a bandit, and he is also a fierce general with heavy troops, Ji Nan's attitude is very different.
Wu Gen has always had a bad impression of him, so he didn't say much, and went directly to the big tent. When they arrived at the door, Ji Ye, Ji Yan and Ji Jing were already waiting here.
"Good work." As soon as they met, Ji Ye took Wu Yan's hand.
"What's the hard work, the life is hard, how did I know your brother, whether there is wine or not, and I die of thirst." Wu Yan took off his helmet and handed it to Luo Zhang beside him.
Ji Ye smiled slightly, "Yes, I know that you are a glutton, so I have prepared it a long time ago."
Ji Jing arched his hand at Wu Gan and smiled slightly, "Wu Gan, don't come unharmed, I heard that you have yin against other people's coalition forces."
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, he was busy marching on the road in the past few days, and after arriving at the military village, he hurried to inspect and strengthen the fortifications, but he didn't have time to inquire about the news of the coalition army.
Seeing that Wu Yan was surprised, Ji Jing walked inside and briefly talked about the situation of the coalition army.
It turned out that the coalition army entered the city that day, and many of the main figures in the army were hit by the poison needle in the mat, and a thousand households died.
In this way, the pace of the coalition army's advance was dragged down, giving the northern and southern armies a buffer time.
Moreover, the wells in the city were poisoned, which made many soldiers go crazy, and said that when they saw the villains in the sky attacking them, they raised their knives and slashed and killed many people.
When Wu Jian heard this, this Niu Chao's method turned out to be really useful, originally thinking that there were dates and no dates to hold a rod, but he didn't expect Lu Lie and others to be overshadowed by such a clumsy method. If I knew it was so good, I would have put a few more poisonous needles in each mat.
Therefore, there is no high or low means, and what works is a good means.
When he entered the tent, Wu Gen saw that there were eight capable and sturdy people sitting in the tent left and right, and after Ji Ye's introduction, he knew that it was the eight thousand households of the Southern Army.
When they walked to the front of the handsome case, there were two people standing behind the case. One was burly, with sharp eyes, and his face was as cold and hard as a knife. The most striking thing is the sword he wears at his waist, which is more than half a man tall and extremely heavy, which is somewhat similar to the heavy riding of the Cult.
There was also an old man with gray hair, gloomy eyes, a banner in his hand, a knife at his waist, and red and black clothes on his body. Except for Himeya, everyone looks like a dead man.
Wu Gen looked at the old man a few more times curiously, this person's soul power is quite strong, it should be some kind of soul art he has cultivated.
Ji Ye sat behind the handsome case, and Wu Yan sat on his left hand, sitting opposite Ji Jing.
"The army is all settled." Ji Ye motioned to his soldiers to hand Wu Yan a wine jug, and he didn't put a cup.
Wu Yan took a sip of Xianmeimei, let out a long breath, and nodded with satisfaction, "Good wine." The army is being settled, and it is said that your camp is too poorly repaired, a few wooden railings, a few shallow pits want to stop the opponent's men and horses. At least get some watchtowers, dark forts, tunnels, long walls, etc., and camp between them
There must be a dark channel connection. Otherwise, once they are divided by others, they will not fight for each other."
Listening to Wu Gan's complaints, Ji Ye and Ji Jing's faces were a little unpleasant. They both heard about Wu Gan's arrangement in Huanli City, and the two of them also made some deductions in private, and found that it was really difficult to fight, and they had to knock out a lot of teeth when they brought people up.
These days, the two of them are also trying their best to strengthen the defense of the camp, but as a result, Wu Gen will count the two of them as soon as they come, which makes their faces a little unbearable.
The two of them were not easy to say, but the thousand households below were a little unkind, and one of the thousand households stood up and arched his hand at Wu Gan and said: "Wu Zhenfu is wrong to say this, the war depends on the commander's strategy, and we are waiting to charge outside, although some fortifications can stop the enemy, but we should not rely too much, so as not to lose the strength of the strong man."
"What's your name?" Wu Gen asked directly, he was calm, and it was polite to ask a thousand households.
"Under Zhao Gui." That Qianhu was not afraid and responded awe-inspiringly.
"Where is your camp?" Wu Gen then asked.
"Located in Rabbit Ridge, adjacent to the military camp in Pacification." Zhao Gui was a little confused, but he still answered honestly.
"Then hurry up and change people, so as not to attack my military village after being broken by the enemy." Wu Yan waved his hand impatiently.
"This ......" Zhao Gui didn't expect Wu Gen to speak so ugly, and he stayed on the spot for a while.
Seeing this, Ji Jing and Ji Ye hurriedly came up to play haha, and only then did they hide the embarrassing atmosphere in the tent.
"Ji Dudu, do you still have some people?" Wu Yan said in a long voice.
"Yes, when the village was established, some people were specially drawn to do rough work, do you want?" Ji Ye knew Wu Gan's thoughts as soon as he heard it.
"Call me some people, I need to fix the stockade." Wu Gen was not polite.
"How much."
"At least five thousand."
"Five thousand?" Ji Ye shook his head helplessly, Wu Yan was about to leave half of the people at once.
"Yes, my men have just finished fighting and need to rest, and the people will have to do the work of building the fortifications." Wu Yan put down the wine jug, and his face became more serious, "Ji Ye, to be serious, your camp should also be rectified."
Ji Ye looked at Wu Gan's serious face, and nodded solemnly, "I will let Ji Zhenfu supervise and urge me to do this matter, this time the two armies will meet, according to the plan, with the southern army as the main and the northern army as the auxiliary, I don't know what else you have in mind."
"It's like this, but specifically, the opponent has added men and horses, and the number is still stronger than our army, how to fight, there must be a charter." Wu Yan didn't look at Ji Ye, but looked at Ji Jing, I don't know how this calmer planned.
Ji Jing stood up and pointed to the sand table in the room, "This time to deal with the coalition forces, our army has roughly set up a position that is light in front and heavy in the rear. The front is supported by a steep hill, and the coalition forces are delayed layer by layer, and when they enter the ponding platform, they will close the army and gather and annihilate it."
Wu Gen looked at the large and small, jagged mountains in front of the Luling Ridge, and the stagnant water platform that appeared behind the mountain due to the river water, and understood Ji Jing's thoughts in his heart.
The way to play is very simple, use these isolated hills to wear down the opponent's forces little by little, and then concentrate the men and horses to fight a decisive battle on Jishuitai. As for those small strongholds, if they are lost, they will be lost, and it is better not to lose, they are just to hold back some of the troops.
"It seems that Ji Zhenfu is quite confident in his own strength, Jishuitai is enough to accommodate more than 20,000 people, it is a good place to ambush, but what to do if the enemy attacks after surrounding." Wu Gen pointed to a few detours beside the ponding platform, and some even went around to the back of Ji Ye's camp.
"Wu Zhenfu is very worried, these detour routes are either blocked by someone I have sent someone to block them, or someone is monitoring them according to the danger, and the largest reserve of our army is here in the young master, and it can provide timely support according to the battle in all directions." When it comes to the war, Wu Gen and Ji Jing are much more serious.
"If the water platform is broken through by the enemy, the momentum of gathering and annihilation cannot be achieved, but there is a backhand, and after the Luling Ridge, there is no danger to defend." Hu Jia frowned and asked.
Ji Jing glanced at him, pointed to the mountain behind the pond and said, "If it is the enemy, I will not be able to achieve the goal of the decisive battle
The force returned to the cold land city, relying on the strong city to defend and wait for change. Of course, we don't want that to happen."
Wu Yan glanced at Ji Ye and pointed to the location of his camp on the map, "In this battle, the southern army is mainly to gather and annihilate the opponent, and our northern army may divide part of its forces to bypass behind the enemy. Rest assured, although I will send troops to attack, I will not give up the defensive line on the north side."
Ji Jing hesitated for a moment but agreed, "I don't know where that water captain is." Shui Congyue's bravery is already known in the army, and Ji Jingzi hopes that he can help here.
"Congyue is intercepting the enemy's grain road, and he will rush back in a decisive battle." Wu Gen didn't know where the water had gone from the moon now, this marching army was like the wind, the invasion was like fire, and the righteous eagle army was helping him, so he wasn't too worried.
Several people carefully deduced various possible scenarios and made a rough plan.
When Wu Yan first arrived, Ji Ye wanted to stay for a treat, and the two people who had been standing behind him were also accompanied. The two of them didn't say much, and if it weren't for Ji Ye's inquiry, they would never say more.
After Ji Ye's introduction, I learned that the man with a heavy sword was named Ji Rui, he and his three thousand people were all from the Ling Guard, and they were the lord's guards on weekdays.
As for the old man with the banner and sword, his name is Ji Xie, and he has a thousand troops under his command, but as for what he does, he is silent.
After three rounds of drinking, Ji Ye said with some pride: "Wu Gan, in this decisive battle, I will do my best to take the elite of my family here, you might as well go with me to see it later."
"Oh, I'd like to take a good look." Ji Ye is not a showy personality on weekdays, but today he can behave like this, it seems that the Ji family has a lot of good treasures.
"Wu Zhenfu, I have the confidence to fight the thieves here with inferior forces, and I am also relying on these horses brought by the young master." Ji Jing smiled beside him and said.
This move aroused Wu Gan's curiosity even more, urging Ji Ye to quickly lead the way, and a few people came out of the big tent, and when they arrived at the back of the military village, there were several small villages inside.
Walking into the first village, you can see the Xuanjia soldiers. Like Ji Rui, these people are all negative bows and swords, their expressions are indifferent, and there is no fluctuation in their eyes. The only difference from Ji Rui is that these people's foreheads are inlaid with a hexagonal copper medallion, with a round gemstone in the middle and a circle of ornaments around them. ap.
Wu Yan could see at a glance that these bronze medals were somewhat similar to soul crystals, but he didn't expect to see similar artifacts here in Kuntianzhou.
"Ling Wei is good at stabbing, especially when there are many thieves, he can kill opponents in a short period of time in a row, and open up a gap." Ji Ye pointed to these soldiers and introduced, "They have been cultivating diligently in Zhaoqin City since they were children, and they rarely go out on weekdays. Ji Rui, let Wu Zhenfu see your skills."
Ji Rui didn't even look at Wu Gan, and casually summoned someone over, and pointed to a wooden man standing in the clearing, "Chop."
The man bowed his hand, walked a few steps, and suddenly disappeared, and with a shadow of the remnant came to the wooden man, and then the man had returned to his original place. After a while, the wooden figure slowly fell, and his body turned into eight sections.
Wu Gan's heart suddenly tightened, such a fast speed, this person slashed out seven swords with one blow, although it was not like his own move into four styles, but it was rare in the world to be able to make seven swords in such a short period of time. And Ji Ye also said that these tomb guards can strike three times in a row. Imagine encountering such a group of opponents on the battlefield, with so many people quickly assaulting, how different is it from cutting barnyard grass with a sickle.
"Let's go, let's go see the army again." Ji Ye saw that Wu Yan was shocked, laughed and walked towards Ji Xie's military village.
