Chapter 17 Secretly crossing Chen Cang
Show it to move, benefit its quiet and master, and benefit from movement and Xun.
Press: Strange is out of the right, and no regular can not be surprising. If you don't know how to build a plank road, you can't secretly cross Chencang. In the north of the former Deng Aitun Baishui, Jiang Wei sent Liao Huatun to the south of Baishui and set up camp. Ai Wei said to the generals: "The Wei Ling is returned, our army is small, and the law should come to cross, not a bridge, this Wei Envoy will hold me, and the order will not be returned." It will attack from the east and take Taocheng. "Ai is a night diving army, going to Taocheng, and Vigo comes to cross. And Ai came first, according to the city, so that it could not be broken. This Jiang Wei is not good at using the plan of secretly crossing Chen Cang, and Deng Aicha knows that his voice is also attacking the west.
"Thirty-six Strategies - Secretly Crossing Chen Cang"
With the issuance of the battle order, all the generals went back to arrange their respective tasks, the noisy city finally calmed down, looking at those who left, Xiang Zuoding was very tired, there had never been a day like today, although he had participated in the battle before, and it was not the first time he was the supreme commander of the battlefield, but I don't know why, this time it seemed so tired. Kong Ming looked at Xiang Zuoding's appearance, and couldn't help but think of Xiang Zuoding's decision, it was obvious that he chose the first plan, which was an impossible plan to win, what Kong Ming couldn't understand was, why would he rather sacrifice people than hand over a better city to the enemy? Isn't this weakening himself and strengthening the enemy? However, Xiang Zuoding can rest now, but he can't, as an intelligence officer, he must go to check the situation of the troops in place and the latest information on the enemy's latest developments at this time, so that he can report to Xiang Zuoding in time. Kong Ming rode a horse and walked on the street leading to the West Gate, the West Gate is the focus of defense, and it is also the most fierce place in this battle, so it is also the focus of his inspection this time, the center of the road is to adjust the troops to the West Gate, the pace seems to be a little scattered, there are constantly some officers shouting inside, with the shaking metal sound of the armor, constituting a unique landscape, although these troops have not fought, but it is undeniable that they are really an army that has been trained for a long time, but Kong Ming looked at them like a group of rookies, it is true that for a person who has not been on the battlefield, no matter how powerful the power is fakeThey may lose their lives before they have time to show their strength, but hopefully they can survive a fight. Kong Ming tied his horse to a pillar under the west gate, walked up the stairs on the side of the city to the city tower, and watched the soldiers on the city gate constantly piling up some fire oil, mustaches, Stones and other things necessary to defend the city, there is a mountain of arrows on the other side, in order to make the most adequate preparations for resisting the enemy's attack, there are also some soldiers leaning on the lookout on the edge of the city, constantly smoking, they saw Kong Ming coming, did not move, although at this time Kong Ming was wearing the armor of a middle-level officer, but they thought that they had seen too much, so they didn't feel anything, this situation was a little unthinkable if it was placed before the war, but at this time it seems that a qiē is very normal。 Kong Ming leaned up, asked them for a cigarette, and looked at the enemy's camp by the wall like them, 300,000 people no matter where they were thrown, it was very shocking, at this time, Kong Ming saw an endless fire, as for the enemy's camp, although there were many people, but all of them seemed quiet, only the occasional sound of horses and monsters came from there, worthy of Harvey's elite army, and indeed the barracks mixed with the Harvey and Yan army that Kong Ming sneak attacked is the difference between heaven and earth, out of a soldier's intuition, Kong Ming tried to distinguish the enemy's configuration, but obviously this is uselessNo matter how you look at it, Kong Ming can't tell the enemy's troop allocation.
"Don't look at it, they have been walking around there all day, constantly transferring troops, and I haven't seen them out of the camp, just training there, is this really strange?" said a soldier who was smoking a cigarette next to him, after exhaling a puff of cigarette.
Kong Ming didn't look over, but took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled it, and asked, "Is there no other movement other than this?"
"No, it's still the same as before, constantly moving forward, and the camp is still making siege equipment. ”
"Siege equipment?" Kong Ming couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, it stands to reason that on the battlefield now, due to a large number of magicians and vindictive people joining the war, the previous kind of step-by-step, building siege equipment, siege methods have been rarely used, usually using fire magic or earth magic to destroy the terrain in the magic to blast open the city wall at once, so as to save time and trouble, and now the Harvey army is constantly building siege equipment, this phenomenon is not like Pang Longye's style, abnormal is a demon, it can be seen that there must be some unknown things in it。 Thinking of this, Kong Ming couldn't help but ask again gloomily: "Are you sure that they have been making siege equipment?"
The man startled the murderous aura in Kong Ming's voice, and couldn't help but say, "They've been doing it, we see it every day." If you don't believe me, you can ask other people if you say yes. At the end of the sentence, he said to the crowd next to him. Kong Ming looked at those people, they also nodded one after another, Kong Ming was afraid that they would be wrong, and looked carefully for a long time, but unfortunately, the distance was too far, and there was no way to really see the situation there. After thinking about it, Kong Ming immediately recited a magic spell for observation, spiritual magic, the Eye of Discovery. Suddenly, a meter in front of Kongming's eyes, an image of Harvey's military camp appeared, and after those soldiers saw the image, they also leaned over one after another. In the image, those Harvey soldiers, next to the fire, roasted some meat, above the fire, is a pot, in the pot put some food, I think they have not eaten, not far from them are some neatly arranged tools, it is used to make siege ladders, siege towers, ramsticks, etc., a little farther away are those things that have not yet been made. Kong Ming looked at it carefully, and the thing was quite finely made. But just when he wanted to look deeper, suddenly a magic interrupted his observation, and suddenly the image disappeared, thinking that those magicians of the enemy army were using a magic to cut off Kong Ming's magic, but just this moment of observation had made Kong Ming know a lot of information he wanted to know. First of all, the Harvey army is just an illusion to do this, their attack is not the target of the current attack is not Ma Cheng at all, it must be a more important target than Ma Cheng, and secondly, they need time, this time may be a little longer, about more than ten days, because generally in the case of sufficient materials, it takes more than ten days to make so many siege equipment, and they have made the things that are originally consumables so fine not to treat them as works of art, but to delay time, if they are in a hurry to attack the city, then the workmanship must be very rough, in order to make us think that they are indeed preparing for the siege, and it's going to be a big fight. So where is the target that makes them so anxious, and what makes them disregard the 100,000-strong army and still divide the troops in such a way? You must know that the division of troops is a taboo for soldiers, and if they are not sure of victory, they should not be able to divide their troops so lightly, is this a trap? Is it not for us to go out and rob the camp again, so that their plan will be easier to implement? Are they attacking a target we must save, or are they luring us out, what is behind this visible reality? Know that what you see is not necessarily true, and rumors are not necessarily false, and everything is possible until everything is confirmed. Thinking of this, Kong Ming suddenly remembered something, and this qiē had to immediately return to the City Lord's Mansion and look for the answer from a pile of information.
Kong Ming returned to the office of the city lord's mansion as quickly as possible, from a large amount of information, constantly looking for information related to the movement of the Harvey army, but helplessly, these information is too little, and there is no very definite answer to the movement of the enemy, because the Harvey army appeared around the city, and the scouts of the Chu army constantly met and fought, but there was no sure information about the movement of the Harvey army in addition to the west, Kong Ming couldn't figure out why, he always wanted to grasp the movement of the Harvey army, but there seemed to be a key thing missing, Kong Ming tried his best to find it, But I don't have a clue, it's like it's right in front of you, but Kong Ming can't see it no matter how you look at it, by the way, Kong Ming suddenly thought, it's right in front of you, but what you can't see? Kong Ming suddenly turned his eyes to the map on the wall, this is a map of the region centered on Macheng, Kong Ming carefully observed the map around Macheng, the west of Macheng is Zhecheng, the east of Macheng is Yingling Pass, forty kilometers away from Macheng, the south is Bincheng, the north is Lingguan, with Macheng as the center, this is a mountainous terrain, two parallel mountain ranges into a north-south direction, separating Macheng and Chu, and the gap of these two lofty mountains and mountains is Macheng and Yingling Pass, Macheng is in the gap of the previous mountain range, and Yingling Pass is in the gap of another mountain range, Yingling Pass means that the eagle also has to go from there, and other places can'tAlthough this is an exaggeration, it also illustrates the steepness of Yingling Pass from another aspect. This is another natural danger for the Chu army to resist the Harvey army, but there are only 30,000 troops in that small pass, if the Harvey army is determined to fight against the Eagle Ling Pass, then the army in Macheng is the only way to hold on, and only through guò to transport materials, and Macheng will also become a lonely city, Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Therefore, I want to fight, although the enemy has a high base and a deep ditch, I have to fight with me, and I will be saved." Kong Ming carefully looked at the map of Macheng, and found that although the mountains near Macheng are high, there are also some places that can be walked by, although not many, but if there are more than ten days, then the army of 200,000 can pass through, thinking that in order not to expose his attack attempt, the enemy uses the trick of manufacturing siege tools to confuse the Chu army. After thinking about it for a long time, Kong Ming had to admire this Pang Longye so much that he threw himself to the ground, and in the few battles he conducted, he took the method of avoiding the real and attacking the false, which made people have to be convinced. Sighing, Kong Ming synthesized some of the information he received, plus his own speculation, wrote a simple intelligence report, and immediately sent it to Xiang Zuoding for review.
Putting down the report in his hand, Xiang Zuoding couldn't help but be shocked by Kong Ming's report, if it was really as Kong Ming said, then at this time, Ying Ling Pass should have been handed over to the Harvey Army, and the battle situation was a foregone conclusion, under the destruction of magic and fighting spirit, Ying Ling Pass would be captured no matter how dangerous it was, so what should they do now? Why haven't they been transmitted from Ying Ling Pass in the past two days, even if it is a news? And for the enemy's attack on Yingling Pass, less than 200,000 troops will be used at all, only 150,000 is enough, the absolute advantage of five to one, plus the cooperation of the internal response, Yingling Pass will still be surnamed Chu? But Xiang Zuoding thought about it in his heart, and thought about it again, the army of 200,000 people passed from the side of Macheng, and he didn't receive a little bit of the situation, so it can't be said, and today's intelligence is a very detailed explanation of the configuration of the Harvey army, plus there is a teleportation array connection between the two cities, although there is no news, it proves to be good news, because if the enemy has any behavior of attacking Yingling Pass, then there will definitely be news coming, but until now there is still no news coming, which proves that there is nothing in Yingling Pass, I think Kong Ming has some assumptions, Writing such a report based on speculation without real evidence, it seems that he is not very suitable for this kind of staff role, shook his head, and continued to sleep, he was really too tired.
Kong Ming waited in the office for a while, saw that Xiang Zuoding did not have a trace of reaction, knew that his report did not attract Xiang Zuoding's attention, sighed, knowing that this kind of thing must have been missed, and knowing that he was an outsider, it was difficult to gain Xiang Zuoding's trust, thinking that he was just an alarmist person, knowing that things were already irreversible, just that his work had been completed, he handed over all the situation to a staff officer who took over, and he also found a place to sleep, anyway, he was not from Chu State, and he could return to Huayuan to be his magician。
