Chapter 610: Yugu reorganizes the army
In Yugu City, Wu Yan was sitting in a small courtyard, looking at the battle report that had just been delivered.
There is a maple tree in the courtyard, which occupies most of the courtyard. The sunlight was filtered by the layers of leaves, and it leaked into a faint round and gently swaying halo on him.
Standing up, Wu Yan looked up to the west.
After Gu Yangsi's death, Wu Qian did not return to the camp in front of Luling, but rushed all the way to the east, intercepting the coalition soldiers who fled in all directions, and finally, he stopped in Yugu City.
Can't run anymore, now the Northern Army has been divided into three pieces.
A large camp in front of Catching Deer Ridge, which Ji Yan was responsible for watching, destroying the camp left by the coalition army. After all, if this camp is used by people with intentions, it is a hidden danger. Ji Dai and the others stayed here, and Wu Gan left them some prisoners, enough for them to reorganize.
As for Zu Yuantong, this Ji Yan's hardcore subordinate, but he followed with a dead face. He was familiar with the dreadnought army when he was in Xingshan, and he was also an old man, and he was not regarded as an outsider in the army.
One piece was led by Zhang Wuyang and carried by the Yihu army to Wuling City, and it was transported twice, and thousands of people were transported over. These men secretly assembled outside the city and prepared to attack the city. Wuling City is not big, and for many years under Ji Xin's surveillance, the city defense is lax, and there are not many guards in the city, even if Ji Bi wants to hide some soldiers and horses in the city, I am afraid that he can't hide much.
Therefore, Ji Xian did not stay, which is the reason, this city cannot be defended, and can only be used as a place for the transfer of grain, grass and military materials. This time, Wu Gan prepared to attack a city with the Yihu army as the main force, which was also the first time in Kuntianzhou.
One is here in Yugu City, led by Wu Gan. Because of several battles with the coalition forces, too many prisoners were collected, and many needed to be reorganized. Prisoners are not just usable, especially the clan soldiers of these families, who fought to the death with the dreadnoughts in the front, and now they are one, and it is impossible not to put their minds together.
The Dreadnought Army was still divided into five teams, with a total of about 30,000 troops. The former army was led by Shui Congyue, and the number of people expanded to eight thousand, which was the largest of the dreadnought army, and Luo Zhang was also let go by Wu Gan. The right army was led by Baoxiang, and the left army was Xue Xin. As for the Chinese army, Wu Gen handed it over to Zhang Wuyang. The rear army was led by Zhuo Ke, and Zu Yuantong was also placed here.
According to Wu Gan's idea, each army should be equipped with at least 20,000 people, plus the Righteous Eagle Army, the entire Dreadnought army needs to be expanded to more than 100,000 people. In this way, with such a huge size, no one dares to underestimate the Dreadnought Army at will, and Wu Gen is enough to wrestle with any family.
The new Lingyun Eight Cavalry is also being formed, and Wu Jian is already preparing to use it as a reserve place for generals in the army, and the newcomers will be enriched to each army after being trained in the Eight Cavalry. In the front, because the dreadnought army was stationed in two places, the Lingyun Eight Cavalry was actually in name only. In addition to Niu Chao, an iron nail that can't be beaten, a few people were selected one after another.
In the past two days, all armies have been very busy, redeploying men and horses, replenishing military resources, and stepping up drills. Further on, it is necessary to attack the territory of the Lu family and several other families. At the same time, waiting for the news of Zhang Wuyang's attack on Wuling City, and then waiting to see the battle in Hanlu City.
Yang Zheng has also been moving around in various armies in the past few days, admonishing those prisoners who surrendered. When the war is over, the Ji family will carry out a bloody baptism of various rebel families, and only the dreadnoughts can protect them. If you dare to escape privately, you can only die. In addition, the establishment of a joint sitting method in each army, and the mixing of prisoners from different families, but the momentum of the prisoners' flight was curbed.
Wu Yan grabbed the letter and paced around the maple tree. From the letter sent back by Ji Ye and Ji Yan, it was learned that Hanlu City should be worry-free.
Because of the golden puppet, the Chaoyang Gate in the east of Hanlu City was broken by the rebels, and in desperation, Ji Chen had to let the stone statue collapse the gate, and Murong Yanyu took his own secret guards and recruited people in the city to kill the other party near the East City, so as not to let the thieves further expand the results of the battle.
It's just that with the arrival of Ji Ye's army, coupled with Ji Xin and Murong Yingge's return to Hanlu City with 20,000 horses, they have already formed a confrontation with Ji Xian. I believe that the time will not be long, and with Ji Xin's power in the province, the danger of Hanlu City will be solved.
Of course, it's one thing to solve a crisis, it's another thing to take care of one's heart. This time the forced promotion of the restructuring, the undercurrent of the Iron Hand Province is surging, and the people are rebellious, except for the directly rebellious family, other families just dare not rush to the table.
I think that when Shui Congyue and the others first arrived in the Iron Hand Province, someone dared to assassinate Ji Ye on the way, but who was behind the scenes, and now there is no way to find out.
In the end, the rebellion was only a concentrated expression of this discontent. However, this is also a good thing, a big break can be established, and the fastest way to implement the restructuring should be the territory of these families. As for the other families, they don't dare to come, and it is still possible to secretly use some small means. I'm afraid that the county magistrates sent by the Ji family can only be in a state of restraint for a long time.
"Wuyang has sent a letter, and the siege is going well." Yang Zheng pushed the door and walked in, holding a secret letter in his hand, "Sure enough, as expected before the battle, there is actually an empty guard in Wuling City, especially since they have never seen the means of crossing the city defense and directly attacking the city lord's mansion, and the city was panicked for a while, and was broken by the Wuyang faction.
Now, they have broken through the city defenses with their backhands and are confiscating the treasures and spiritual jade in the city. In addition, Wu Yang proposed that he wanted to bring those old and weak people in Xingshan, so as not to retaliate against them in the future, after all, there are many human races in it."
"Yes, you might as well let him leave some people to gather the people of Xingshan and transfer them to Yugu City by land. The Volunteers still had to rush back as soon as possible. The next step is for us to enter the territory of the various families, and although the elite of these families has been lost, the hearts of the people are unstable, and if we are harassed by small forces or civilians from time to time, it will be enough for us to stand it.
Moreover, these newly recruited prisoners in the army may flee when they see their homeland, and this kind of battle is actually more difficult to fight than a face-to-face encounter with the coalition forces." Wu Yan thought about it and agreed to Zhang Wuyang's request.
"The giant mastiff still needs to collect more, to be honest, when it comes to the territory of each family, the mastiff is sometimes better than people." Yang Zheng took the letter in his arms and accompanied Wu Yan to pace in the courtyard, "Especially when encountering some old and weak obstacles, our army is mostly prisoners, and it is not good to have many killers, there are giant mastiffs, which will scare off many people."
Wu Yan paused, thought for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "That's the reason, let Niu also hurry up and collect some giant mastiffs to join the army. Now Niu Chao has a place to use again, with him as a vicious dog, I think he can withstand more than a thousand elite soldiers."
"Exactly, Niu Chao is used well, he is actually a strange soldier, although he has a bad mouth, he is actually quite dependent on the owner of the village, but you don't have to worry about his loyalty. Moreover, this man is greedy for money, but where can his money be hidden, not all of it is taken by you.
But you still have to find a way to suppress him, otherwise, when you grow older, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept the harm of the fearless army." Yang Zheng was also a little smiling, Niu Chao was not afraid of heaven and earth in the army, and even he, a black-bellied person, had no way to deal with the other party.
Wu Geng was also a little helpless. Niu Chao is rampant in the army, if you want to say how much evil he has done, he doesn't have it, but this mouth is really disgusting.
"The whole army will set off in two days, and if it is too late, I am afraid that those families will have changes, and they will take the opportunity of the great victory to subdue the clans." Wu Yan said as he walked, "The terrain in the south should also be surveyed well, I think that Liangsha Mountain is good, next to three provinces, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. net
There is also a platform valley in this mountain, which can accommodate so many men and horses of the dreadnought, if it is well managed, it can attack Shule Province in the south, and infiltrate Bailing Province in the west, waiting for an opportunity to establish contact with Chu Xi and them."
"Hua Yanlin also has to think about moving around there, if we don't unite with him, I'm afraid the Hulan family won't allow us to have such a big soldier and horse on our side." Yang Zheng nodded after hearing this, this place was originally discussed by himself and Hu Jia.
"Let's take it one step at a time, we can have some contact beforehand, but we need to settle down in the Liangsha Mountain. That's right." Wu Yan walked to the table and sat down, and poured Yang Zheng a cup of tea, "How are the bird catchers in contact, the war in Cold Land City should not last long, I'm afraid that Ji Xin won't kill the two people in the Xian family."
"Don't worry, we will definitely let them die in the Iron Hand Province, if Ji Xin wants to calm things down, we will let him fall into his pants with yellow mud, and he won't be able to argue." Yang Zheng sneered, took the tea and took a sip.
"By the way, Ji Yan may have to follow us, do you see if there is any way for her to stay." Wu Yan looked at Yang Zheng with a smile.
"Why don't you let her follow, with her in the army, the march of the Dreadnought Army is justified." Yang Zheng suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice, and looked at it with a weak heart
glanced at the door, "Isn't it just that Congyue is not happy, you just go and talk more, although Congyue looks cold and arrogant, but in fact, it is pressed by brotherhood, and it is still easy to talk."
"Yes, then I'll leave this matter to you." Wu Yan grabbed Yang Zheng's hand.
"Why should I go, Kun Tianzhou, who came from the moon to see your face, if you want to say it, isn't it just a beating." Yang Zheng pulled back his hand and looked at the sky, "Look at my memory, there are still a few important pieces of information that I haven't had time to deal with." Saying that, the person got up in a hurry, and regardless of Wu Gan's retention, pushed the door and left.
After two days, the Dreadnought Army took the lead in sending troops from Shui Congyue to lead troops to the east, along the route of the original coalition army's march all the way east, first to recover those small cities occupied by the coalition army, recruit the rebels stationed therein, and clear the obstacles to the subsequent march of the army.
Wu Gan left some people in Yugu City to answer him, and led the other horses to follow. With the news of the defeat of the coalition forces, the road was uneventful, and the progress was quite smooth, and the remaining rebels had either run away, and the rest were also on the verge of collapse, and they became prisoners one after another.
Not to mention that Wu Gen marched all the way and killed the Lu family's territory in the name of crusading against the rebels. On a hill not far from Wuling City, Ming Zheng was cooking tea with an old man. The old man was very old, his snow-white eyebrows drooped on his face, and his wrinkles were like walnuts, but his complexion was ruddy, and he looked energetic and confident.
Watching the birds fly up from the city, the old man held a steaming porcelain cup, smiled and said to Ming Zheng beside him: "It seems that this so-called Wu Gan really has some skills, but today has opened my eyes, just by being a bird, I can break a city." In the future, the way of the world will change, and the rules of war will also change, you might as well get in touch with him more, and this person will definitely do great things in the future."
"Yes, Elder, please have tea." Ming Zheng knelt on the ground and refilled a cup of tea for the old man.
