Chapter 40: There are many lieutenants
This operation made Xia Yan stunned for a while.
Good fellow, he is indeed a general, not only is he quick-witted, but he can also draw inferences.
If his soldiers were like this, what else would they worry about, they would have gone back a long time ago!
Yuan Liyang below saw that Xia Yan was a little sluggish and knew that this was going to be fatal, Xing Daorong spent so much and indulged him, it seemed that he was going to blame.
Hurriedly began to push the pot: "Your Majesty, you said that you would do your best to satisfy them, so I ......"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xia Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, they have their own reasons, I still say that, I believe them." ”
With such a fierce general, it's too late to steal the fun, how can you blame it.
Obviously, I just need to wait slowly for the next time.
It stands to reason that the first to get the battle report is the army of Xi and the army of Candle.
Because in terms of distance, the two countries are closest to themselves, especially Xiguo, and they can go to the west of the city to row a boat on the side of Taihu Lake, which is simply close to the yuppies.
As for the Changxing Kingdom and Yue Kingdom that Zhuge Liang and Huo Qubing need to face, they are in the north, and there is an uninhabited loess belt after the city is out of the middle.
If you want to capture the two countries, you will inevitably need to take the lead in setting up camp to see the situation, so the feedback will definitely be slower.
The same is true for Di Renjie, the Xuanwu Dynasty needs to go south, and it will also take a while to set up camp to observe the enemy's situation.
In fact, it is true that at this moment, Xing Daorong is already preparing for the school field on the shore of Taihu Lake.
In the school grounds, hundreds of brand-new warships lined up, and everyone was ready to set off at any time.
In the crowd, Xing Daorong was dressed in silver armor, mighty and domineering.
Below him are 30,000 former Yu State soldiers, but now they have been officially incorporated into the Great Xia soldiers, named Baiguan Army.
At this moment, the commander who has not appeared for a few days, 30,000 people, is still a little unfamiliar.
Xing Daorong didn't feel the slightest difference in this regard, but drew cakes loudly at everyone.
As long as he can defeat Xiguo this time, he will definitely let His Majesty let everyone return to Guancheng to reunite with the family.
If you want to stay in the Baiguan Army in the future, you are also very welcome, if you don't want to stay, you can always go back to accompany your family.
I have to say that these words hit the hearts of many people.
If you can return home to be with your wife and children in your military life, who wouldn't want to.
After that, a group of people began to shout to defeat the opponent and return to the city, and the morale was unprecedentedly high.
Seeing this, Xing Daorong also laughed, and then said to a young man below: "Lin Li, you come here." ”
Lin Li, who is the same age as Xia Yan, has just turned twenty years old now, but he is a brave man and has a lot of prestige in the Baiguan Army.
In the past few days, Xing Daorong has been absent, and he has been standing in the school yard giving various instructions to guide the army's drills.
"Commander, you're looking for me."
Xing Daorong hummed, and then began to talk to Lin Li about today's plan.
"Lin Li, Ben Shuai has now named you the striker of this war, and he has a moderately important task to be assigned to you."
"Commander, please speak."
"There are about 30,000 defenders in Hucheng (the capital of Xiguo), and they are scattered between the various city gates, so it is generally easy to attack and difficult to defend, I order you to lead 29,000 soldiers of the Guan army to take the palace of Hucheng directly, and drive down their monarch for me!"
"Led by me? ……”
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Lin Li's eyes, and then he quickly hid it.
Xing Daorong nodded, "Yes, if you do a good job, it will definitely be a great achievement, and I will definitely recommend you to Your Majesty!" ”
It is hard to imagine that he is a native of Yu and a prisoner of war of Yu State, but at this moment Xing Daorong said that he would recommend himself to His Majesty the Emperor.
The original Lin Li had already prepared for a dull life in the future, but at this moment, after hearing Xing Daorong's words, he felt a little excited in his heart.
But soon he thought that it didn't seem right, there were only 30,000 people in the Baiguan Army, and he brought 20,000 nineteen by himself, what kind of operation was this?
Seeing Lin Li like this, Xing Daorong also laughed.
"This most important task also depends on Ben Shuai, who has decided to lead a thousand men to contain their 70,000 sailors, so as to delay a lot of time for you to attack the Lake City Palace."
Lin Li didn't think about it, because there was no extra space in his mind.
The mind is full of Xing Daorong's feat of 1,000 people dragging 70,000 people.
How powerful must this be to be able to say such a thing, there were Huo Quai's 800 cavalry to overthrow the rear army of Yu State, which led to the defeat of Yu State.
At present, Xing Daorong has 1,000 prisoners and 70,000 sailors in the Xi Kingdom, how can such a country not prosper!
"General Xing, you are really a god!"
The most regrettable thing for Lin Li is that he can't see such a grand scene with his own eyes, and it seems that he is only suitable for attacking 30,000 people with 29,000 people, a small scene.
After everything was explained, the two armies were ready to set off.
There were ten people on each ship on Xing Daorong's side, and one of them was painted red by him to prove that this was the leading ship among the white ships.
Next, more than 1,000 people pushed 100 boats to Taihu Lake, while the remaining 29,000 marched from the ground towards the city wall.
Before leaving, Xing Daorong suddenly looked at a large black thing on the school ground, revealing a disgusted gaze.
"This is an eyesore here, find a place to lose it."
Looking at the Taihu Lake not far away and the boats pushing it, a light flashed in Xing Daorong's eyes.
"By the way, throw it into Lake Tai, so that it won't be discovered by His Majesty!"
As for the black thing, it was gunpowder, Yuan Liyang disliked gunpowder and blocked the way, so he sent 800 catties to Xing Daorong and Chen Heishan in the school field.
Now, it was a good time for Xing Daorong to prepare to discard it.
But after all, it was eight hundred catties of gunpowder, and it was not good to put it on a small boat, so Xing Daorong simply asked the soldiers on each ship to bring seven or eight catties.
And told them to throw these things into the lake as soon as the war is over.
Until then, it could even be used as a weapon, a pile of powder that could still obscure the eyes of an enemy if used correctly.
Imagine that when the enemy's heads were so powdered, they would have to take care of their nimble boats.
It's perfect to look at!
After that, everything was ready, and a hundred small boats officially appeared on the shore of the side of Lake Tay.
Each ship was equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, as well as stones, gunpowder, etc.
In Xing Daorong's plan, these things can be used as weapons in a while.
Relying on these, he was able to hold back the 70,000 sailors of Xiguo.
With the launch of a hundred warships, Xing Daorong ordered all the ships to raise the banner of Great Xia and march towards the Xi Kingdom.
