Chapter 582: The Wind Rises
On the wild goose plain in the northern part of Tieshou Province, like a dark cloud with a rainstorm approaching, there is a group of men and horses in the southward direction, and the strength of the army is so heavy that it seems to occupy the entire grassland from a distance.
Walking to a low hill, a horse galloped from the south and rushed to the front general, "Young master, there are still a hundred miles ahead to reach Wuling City."
The general raised his horsewhip and put a helmet on it, looked at the faint black line in the distance, turned his head and ordered a personal soldier beside him, "The army has been running for half a day, the order is to go down, the whole army will rest on the spot, and then camp after rushing to Wuling City before nightfall."
The soldiers agreed, and turned their horses to convey the military order. The army slowly stopped, and then rested on the horse. Regardless of his own image, the general sat directly under the horse, and his own subordinates handed over the mare's milk, and drank a bowl of it, "Please come over with the four of you."
In a few moments, four horsemen came to the front of the general.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is Wuling City in front, and when we pass this city, we will be able to kill Xingshan in one go, and after crossing Xingshan, Hanlu City is just around the corner." The general pointed to the map in front of him and said loudly, "When we arrived at Hanlu City, Xian Yuchan, Leng Zuo, and the three Zhenfu of Shifa besieged the city according to the plan, and Shang Zheng led the army to the east of the city, waiting for an opportunity to receive our reinforcements."
A tall man with a full beard stood up, "Young master, my 70,000 horses are enough to surround a lonely city, why do you need to welcome reinforcements."
"Rarely calmed down, this time our army came from the north, and there was no rest all the way, and the siege equipment had no time to be built. Hanlu City is a century-old heroic city, and it has been renovated over the years. The city has plenty of food, complete armaments, and a secretly built formation, how can it be easily captured." In the face of this person's rudeness, the general still explained warmly.
"As for those reinforcements, they are the various families in the province who are dissatisfied with Ji Xin, they have come here as a whole army, and they have already built a lot of siege weapons, with this help, it will be easier for me to break through Cold Land City."
The man named Xian Yuchan scratched his head, a little puzzled, "Since they raised troops and met under the Cold Land City, why did they ask Brother Shang to wait for the opportunity to greet them."
"Hehe, those wastes, I heard that they were stopped in a place called Catching Deer Ridge and couldn't move, and they were stopped by a group of new troops who had been in the army for less than two years and the southern army led by Ji Ye. The commander of these new armies is a scoundrel named Wu Gan, and it is ridiculous and stupid that these families still wanted to recruit this son at the beginning, and the bait they didn't want to throw away was eaten, and even the fishing rod was ripped off." The general sneered, a look of disdain.
"If they can't break through for a long time, they will send Shang Zhenfu to Catch Deer Ridge, and defeat the rabble of the northern and southern armies with the families, and bring the men and horses of those families to Cold Land City. Although it is useless for them to fight, it is still possible to make some siege ordnance and clear the perimeter."
"Young master, I heard that there is a lair of the dreadnought army on the Xingshan Mountain ahead, do you want to make a detour and sweep before heading south." A general with a short beard and a calm expression spoke.
"Shi Zhenfu is very thoughtful, but the dreadnought army has already come out, and it has become an empty village, there is no need to waste time here, our army still passed through Xingshan quickly according to the original plan, and took Hanlu City as soon as possible, so as to settle the hearts of the people in the world.
Now that the dark tide of the Iron Hand Province is surging, and as time goes by, it is inevitable that various families will have different hearts, and disputes will arise everywhere. In this way, even if I capture Cold Land City, I will have to go around to appease these families, and it will cost me a lot." The generals approved the man, but still rejected his idea.
"My subordinates know." Shi Zhenfu said yes, and did not insist on his own opinion.
"Everyone, when you take Cold Land City, and then help me win the position of lord, I will definitely share the wealth with you." The general pointed to the south with his horsewhip, and the ambition in his eyes was obvious.
"It's just wealth, and please don't forget the covenant of the city." Xian Yuchan stared at the general with a smile, not very afraid of him.
A trace of disgust flashed in the general's eyes, but his face was still kind, "That's nature, and I won't dare to forget the kindness of sending troops to help each other this time."
"Ahh In the camp of the Southern Army of the Bone Mountain, Wu Jian sneezed a few times, rubbed his nose, and continued to listen to Hu Jia's introduction to the plan for a decisive battle with the coalition forces.
At this time, it has been a day since he met Bahong, and on this day, Wu Gan has set off a mighty wave in the northern army
Operation Removal of Arrows. Whoever can find five silver arrows will be rewarded with one or two pieces of silver, and whoever finds a hundred will be promoted to one rank in the army.
Such a good opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune without fighting is not exciting. For a time, the northern army, except for the necessary garrison guards, was fully engaged in the arrow removal operation.
The only one who was unhappy was Niu Chao, which was his exclusive deal, but was robbed by many people. Cutting off people's wealth is killing their parents. Looking at so many father-killing enemies, Niu Chao, who has been busy for many days, has red eyes and saliva in his mouth, like a vicious dog running in the wild.
The power of one person is limited, and the power of everyone is endless, thanks to the anger of these people, the dense fog gradually dispersed in the sky above the northern army camp, revealing a big hole, and the sunlight went down the hole, which made the soldiers who had not seen the light of day for a long time feel great.
Another advantage of the gap in the mist is that the Righteous Eagle Army can finally land on the camp of the Northern Army. So the holly bird was left behind for Wu Gen to go out to various places, so as not to stumble like a blind man in the thick fog.
"After the Ba family is anyway, the strength of our army and the coalition army will not be much different, and I intend to counterattack on all fronts. Specifically, there are two strategies." Hu Jia glanced at Wu Yan strangely, and then introduced his plan.
"If the fog does not dissipate, our army will find a way to open two passages to the outside world in the past two days, and the northern and southern armies will attack the enemy's central army on the left and right. Take advantage of the gap left between the battalions, fight quickly and insert quickly, quickly cut through the enemy's battalions, divide and annihilate them.
It should be reminded here that the coalition battalion is divided into two parts, the east and the west, and the east has fewer troops, and the two armies need to contain the reinforcements of the east battalion when attacking. If necessary, the reinforced Yuan Xin can take the initiative to attack the eastern battalion.
If Bahong persuaded the Gu family to collect the fog, and the enemy took the initiative to attack, I just waited for work and fought a decisive battle at Jishuitai again. If the enemy is unable to move forward, ask Ji Zhenfu to go out to catch Luling and attack the opponent's western camp directly, while the northern army bypasses the western camp and inserts the gap between the eastern and western camps, first, to block the eastern camp to support the thieves, and second, to help the southern army kill the enemy. Yuan Xin's first department attacked the western camp from the south, and cooperated with Ji Zhen's Fu Department to take down the opponent as soon as possible."
Hu Jia put down the copper rod in his hand and put his hand on the sand table, "In this battle, our army must move quickly, rush and fight fiercely, disrupt the enemy's scheduling, and win in chaos. I have fought with the coalition forces several times before, and everyone can see that compared with the northern and southern armies, the deployment of the coalition forces is really a bit rough, which has something to do with the fact that each family only cares about preserving its own strength and passing the buck to each other."
Ji Ye looked at the sand table and was silent for a long time, early this morning, Wu Yan hurriedly came over, saying that there was something important to discuss, but he didn't expect it to be a matter of sending troops.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that the attack from the moon was quite smooth to harass the enemy's grain route, and it was difficult for all the enemy's grain to arrive at the thief's camp in time, so wouldn't it be better to wait for the change?" Ji Ye turned his head to look at Wu Gan, not understanding why the other party had become so anxious.
Wu Yan coughed, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip slowly, and said slowly: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and you need to adapt to changes in the enemy. Now that the Ba family has promised to do it anyway, our army's fighter plane has appeared, if we can't seize such a good opportunity, the time will be long, and if the Ba family repeats again, it will not be a failure.
Moreover, the two armies have been holding each other for a long time, and it is inevitable that other families will have different hearts. You must have heard about the Wen family this time. It's hard to say who they help. If our army wins this battle, of course it will help us, and vice versa. It's like snowballing, as long as I win, these families will stick together, and our strength will get stronger.
Therefore, our army should immediately raise its troops, take down the coalition forces in person, put an end to this war as soon as possible, and then divide our troops in various places, suppress the families, eliminate the rebellion, and prepare for the reform."
Ji Ye glanced at Wu Yan suspiciously, and turned his head to look at Ji Jing, "What do you think of Zhenfu?"
Ji Jing glanced at Wu Jian meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Hu Jia, "If my attack is unfavorable, this Luling battalion is empty, and what if it is taken advantage of by the enemy."
Hu Jia smiled slightly, and arched his hand at Ji Jing, "Suppression, our army has won, what's the use of the camp." Our army is defeated, what is the use of the camp. In the past, the enemy was outnumbered, so it was necessary to set up a camp to help defend, but now the enemy and us are almost equal, and the offensive and defensive situation has been easy, so why need to be trapped by the camp. If we are unfortunately defeated, how can we hold the camp despite the great loss of personnel?"
Ji Jing pondered for a moment and nodded, "That's the reason, it's just that, if there are no other changes,
I agree to march."
Seeing that the two subordinates of his subordinates agreed to march, Ji Ye had no choice but to respond, and immediately ordered the whole army to try to pull out the clusters of silver arrows thrown by the Gu family, and prepare the whole army for battle.
Wu Yan walked Dada out of the big tent and was about to return to his camp, but Ji Jing came over, "Wu Zhenfu, can you talk alone."
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "Why not."
Letting Hu Jia and the others wait for a while, Wu Gen and Ji Jing walked slowly along the mountain road, and gradually came to a secluded place.
"Wu Zhenfu, last time Jishuitai strangled the coalition forces, but captured some childish water mirrors, which are a little different from the style sent by the Zhenfu people." Ji Jing's eyes were cold, and he stared at Wu Yan with his arms crossed.
Wu Yan felt a sigh in his heart, knowing that Ji Jing was suspicious, he smiled and said, "Is there a difference between the same, but the mirror I gave me can't be used."
"No, no, no, it's very useful, I just want to say that if Wu Zhenfu knows something, he might as well reveal it in advance, lest my subordinates die and don't know how to die.
Even if the childish water mirror was sent by Bu Kuan, it should have been delivered a long time ago, if the suppression had been mentioned earlier, our southern army would not have suffered such heavy losses. What do you say, Wu Zhenfu?" Ji Jing grinned, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth.
Wu Yan sighed and shook his head slightly, "So it's hard to be a good person, Ji Zhenfu, how do I know that the Gu family has such means." After Bu Kuan sent me away, he only said a rough idea, and he didn't know what kind of changes these mirrors were used for.
Ji Zhenfu, you said, after these few battles, I, Wu Ganke, have hidden my selfish intentions, which time was not to rush to kill first, trying my best to rescue the southern army Paoze, your subordinate Zhao Gui is still in my camp. Suppressing this approach made Wu feel a little chilled."
"Hahaha, it's my fault." Ji Jing lowered his arms and laughed, grabbing Wu Gan's hand, "Just kidding, Wu Zhenfu is still serious. I mean, the war is going on again, but what is there to teach me."
Wu Gan's expression froze, he didn't expect Ji Jing to fight and pull, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, and he really deserved to be the old rivers and lakes in the Iron Hand Province. Laboriously taking out his hand, Wu Yan looked at a few fingerprints on his hand, and said with a wry smile: "There is really nothing to teach, this time it is a dignified battle. But so."
Speaking of this, Wu Yan paused, looked into the distance and said in a low voice: "If there is something in the west, when the young master retreats, the suppression must stop it, so as not to waste our good situation."
"What's going on in the west?" Ji Jing raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.
"I've heard that some families who are in a state of limbo want to take advantage of the confrontation between the Northern and Southern armies and the coalition forces in an attempt to attack Cold Land City, but there is no definite news yet."
Wu Gen said mysteriously, "You also know the second young master, who values love and righteousness, and has a very strong relationship with the eldest young master.
Moreover, I gave up the defense line of Catching Deer Ridge and let the coalition forces successfully reach Cold Land City, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to defend the city at that time." Wu Yan leaned closer and whispered in Ji Jing's ear.
Ji Jing's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he turned around a few times before solemnly saying, "The city defense of Cold Land City is very strict, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary families to defeat it, but it can last for a while. Wu Zhenfu was right, even if he wanted to go back to his division to help defend the city, he had to clear the periphery of these wild dogs. Don't worry, I'll help you turn around when the time comes."
Wu Zhen raised his head and laughed, "Ji Zhenfu is really handsome, he has a calm mind when he encounters problems, and he can distinguish the benefits and disadvantages."
Ji Jing also smiled and said, "It's easy to say, as long as I win this battle, I will forget all about the childish water mirror."
"Haha."
"Hahaha......
