Chapter 16 The Wei army goes east
In the big tent of the Wei army, Zhao Guo Lianpo, Yan Guo Ju Xin, Chu State Li Yuan, Korean Ji Wuye and other allied commanders gathered here.
"Generals, please see." Xinling Jun Wei Wuji's gaze swept over the generals and spread out a map.
The map was drawn by his special staff, and although it is not marked with specific details, judging from the lines and markings, the place that shows the terrain and the surrounding situation must be in the valley near the pass.
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "The grain and grass of the Qin army are transported through Luoshui through Yiyang and then into the big river, that is to say, the main force of the Qin army should not stay away from the big river. And I have already discovered the location of its Yiyang generation granary, if I can cut off its grain route, the Qin army will be self-defeating. ”
"That Qin general has been defeated, and in a few years, he has defeated the armies of our five countries, and he does not take our and other armies in his eyes. Now he led 300,000 Qin troops to march east along the river, and the troops came to Anyi to confront our army, but it was the opportunity for our coalition army. ”
Lian Po stroked his beard, "It's just that I heard that the general Wang Yi has 100,000 troops in Luoyang, responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass to the front army, and can also increase troops at any time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed easily." ”
"Ben Shuai has his own strategy." Wei Wuji was confident.
From the very beginning, when he stationed troops in Anyi, he planned to use the grain and grass consumption of the Qin army to induce the Qin army to cross the river. Or induce it to attack Yixingguan and Shanyang all the way, and attack them separately.
It's just that the coalition forces are suspicious of each other and wary of each other, and time has turned to the side of the Qin army.
Lian Po is old, but he is still domineering, and he said in a deep voice: "General, Lian Po is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji said: "The old general is polite, now our army needs a big general in this formation, except for the old general, I'm afraid there is no one more suitable to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
Lian Po nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, General, since you have entrusted this important task to me, I should do my best to ensure that our army is not lost." ”
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji said solemnly: "In this way, please ask the old general and the generals!" ”
Everyone said, "We must do our best!" ”
Then, Wei Wuji discussed with everyone about the formation of the army for a long time, and it was not until the sky was slightly bright that it dispersed.
………
The Wei Military Academy was crowded with people from the rivers and lakes at this time.
"This is a thousand miles away, the danger can be imagined, if you righteous people want to quit, it is still too late, and this commander will not complain."
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji said to a group of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and his sincerity was moving.
"Xinlingjun, we are all willing to follow you because of the chivalry of Wenjun, how can I abandon you!" Xue Yu clenched his fists and said.
"Xinlingjun, since you brothers follow you, we should live and die together." Yang Gongxie said categorically.
"My peasant family is also willing to help Xinling Jun fight against Qin." A calm voice rang out.
Xia Kui stepped forward and arched his hand: "The peasants are sent by Xinling Jun!" ”
Su Moci stepped forward and said, "The Golden Jade League should go by itself." ”
Tianluomen, the Five Thunder Alliance, and other forces in the rivers and lakes also expressed their positions.
Xinling Jun said with tears in his eyes: "The high righteousness of all righteous soldiers, Wuji will remember it in his heart, and our army will win this battle!" ”
After everyone dispersed, Xin Lingjun turned to look at Fu Nian, "Nian, do you want to stay in the camp or go east with me?" ”
Fu Nian replied, "Xinlingjun, I want to go with you, maybe I can help the general." ”
Xinlingjun looked straight and said, "You have a heart, but in the army, I won't favor you too much." ”
"Since it should be so, Fu Nian has no objection." Fu Nian knows his meaning, and he can't be strict for the general.
………
Neat steps, neat armor, hunting flying flags in the morning breeze.
In front of this mighty army, there is a wide mountain road that stretches for hundreds of miles. On both sides of the road, there are endless mountains, and on both sides of the road, dense jungles.
Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, dressed in silver armor, rode a black horse, at the front of the team
Behind him, there were rows of iron horses, and the armor of the forest was cold, shining with a blinding cold glow in the early morning sun.
Fu Nian walked with the Chinese army's foot soldiers, but fortunately, someone carried him, which made him a little easier.
"I don't know what time it is, it's still a few minutes before dark, and I'm hungry!" Zhang Tan touched his gurgling belly and said, "If I knew this was the case, I followed Ji and them." ”
"Brother Zhang, it's better to let me down first, I have my own way." Fu Nian said.
When Zhang Tan heard this, he put down the fu nian on his back and said, "I know you have a way." ”
Fu Nian Xun broke a branch from the side of the mountain road, cut it clean and inserted it on the ground, as a benchmark, and erected twenty-four stones around the benchmark, so that it was perpendicular to the ground, and each place was spaced 15 degrees apart.
Note that the point where the benchmark shadow aligns at this time is point A; After about 10 minutes, place another stone at the point where the shadow is aligned, which is counted as point B. When the vertex of the benchmark shadow is moved to c, the two points A and B and the center point c are connected into a triangle.
When the shadow is facing the opposite direction of the sun, the shadow rotates 15° on the ground in one hour, and the time gauge is calculated from this.
From the autumn equinox to the winter solstice, the solar altitude angle at 30°N latitude is 47.5 degrees to 39.6 degrees. Therefore, the length of the shadow can be calculated to be about 1.07-1.25 times that of the object according to the formula of the solar altitude angle, and the length of the shadow at noon can be calculated, so as to obtain a more accurate time according to the time ruler.
"It's about seven quarters, and in another hour, it's probably going to be dark." Fu Nian glanced at the sky, and then compared the carved plate.
When the soldiers next to him heard this, they spread the word, and when Xin Lingjun heard about it, he ordered the army to prepare for camp, and he believed in Xin Fu Nian's judgment.
Fu Nian and Zhang Tan found a group of Wei soldiers nearby, found some firewood with them, and built a simple bonfire, ready to cook some hot rice to eat.
Shi Chang Jiayou poured a generation of corn into the pot, sprinkled some salt, and then added some wild vegetables.
Zhang Tan added fire to the bottom and muttered, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Boss, what do you think this is?" Yan Xi ran over with a pheasant and handed it to Jia You as if offering a treasure.
Jia You took a look, and immediately became happy, "Hehe, you kid actually caught a pheasant, hurry up, make it whole"
Yan Xi smiled, took out a dagger, skillfully cut off the limbs of the pheasant, took some meat down, and began to roast it on a wooden stick.
"Brother Yan, thanks to you, we have meat to eat tonight." Zhang Tan was overjoyed and said excitedly.
Yan Xi responded, "Brother Zhang, how can you taste my craftsmanship." ”
After the words fell, he tore the roasted chicken thigh into pieces and stuffed it into Zhang Tan's mouth.
A strong smell of meat rushed to his nose, and Zhang Tan couldn't help but praise, "Well~ delicious!" ”
Yan Xi smiled, "It's delicious, eat it while it's hot." ”
After that, he helped tear two chicken wings for Jia You.
Fu Nian sat quietly watching them, occasionally reaching out to flick the charcoal, he refused the chicken leg handed over by Zhang Tan, and only drank some water, which was not enough.
………
On the high slope, a tall man in Xuanguang armor stared into the distance, his eyebrows were full of murderous aura, and his red cloak hunted with the mountain wind.
This person is none other than the general of the Qin State.
In front of him was a huge barracks, stretching for a hundred meters, waving flags. Soldiers patrolled inside and outside the barracks, and groups of soldiers in dark armor lined up like beasts ready to attack, ready to rush at the enemy.
"This coalition is also quite elite." Meng Fu said slowly, his tone calm and calm.
The adjutant general beside him replied respectfully when he heard this: "General, it has been five days since the Wei army went east, and the coalition forces have been closed in the past few days, refusing to go to war, obviously preparing to fight against our army. ”
Meng Fu turned around, his cold face looked quite vicissitudes, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely, his thin lips were pursed, and a pair of deep eyes looked directly at the solid camp in front of him, and there was a hidden murderous intent in his eyes.
"In the Yewang and Heluo generations, there are 100,000 troops garrisoned by Wang Yan, and the city walls are thick, so the Wei army is not afraid. I hope that Wei Wuji has the courage to lead his troops to attack the Wild King, and if he dares to attack easily, it will be exactly what I want. ”
Meng Fu said, but his tone was filled with a thick evil spirit.
"I heard that this time the Wei army went east, and traveled lightly, that Xinlingjun only knew that the soldiers were fast, but he didn't know how to seek stability, and he only needed one word to win - 'drag'."
"At that time, the Wei army in the east is in a dilemma, and it will collapse without a fight, I want to see if this Lian Po can still calm down, and whether this coalition army can save or not."
When the adjutant general heard this, his heart was slightly cold, and he responded: "The general is wise! ”
Meng Wei nodded, continued to inspect the coalition camp, and after a while, he said: "But you still need to, be cautious, send someone to inform Wang Qi not to underestimate the enemy, and at the same time give me a strong wall and clear the wilderness, leaving no room for anything." ”
The adjutant general promised: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
The two sides have their own calculations, but they don't know who will be the best player.
