Chapter 288: What Do You Want

After Xia Yu carried out military reforms, the Lu family's intelligence network soon spread throughout the north, which was a breeze for the Lu family, because they originally had such an intelligence network in the north, but after the outbreak of the Northern War, in order to shrink the troops, Lu Yue had to reduce the intelligence network, and now it is only restoring and refining the original intelligence network. And it turned out that Xia Yu was very correct in creating a secret army, because only a few days later, all kinds of information about Zheng Guo and the Wolf Head Army were placed on Xia Yu's desk.

First of all, it was not unexpected by Xia Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Wolf Head Army who attacked the country this time was Zheng Yuan, Xia Yu had a fight with him in the past, and Xia Yu had not yet entered the Xiao Yuan realm at that time. The wolf's head army claims to be 200,000 soldiers and horses this time, but in fact there are only 100,000, but even so, it is much stronger than Tongming City. Of the 100,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 were elite wolf-headed cavalry, and the remaining 70,000 were infantry. These 30,000 cavalry were led by Zheng Xiu, the nephew of King Zheng, and he was the one who captured Qingyan City, and Zheng Xiu was currently stationed in Qingyan City with 30,000 cavalry, while the remaining 70,000 infantry were led by Zheng Yuan and stationed in Wind Helmet City.

Zheng Xiu is just over twenty years old this year, the twenty-ninth layer of Yuanli Xiaoyuan Realm, the young man is ambitious, and he is just in the middle of his blood, presumably the reason why King Zheng sent him to Zheng Yuan's account is also to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. Once the siege of Tongming City began, Zheng Xiu's 30,000 cavalry would definitely be the main force.

Originally, Xia Yu estimated that after the fall of Qingyan City, Zheng Xiu would definitely attack Ming City immediately, because Zheng Xiu was the royal family of Zheng State, and it was the first time he came out to lead troops to fight. He must be eager to make a contribution, want to show his strength in front of King Zheng, and it is enough to explain to King Zheng if he can conquer the entire north, then it is called truly earth-shattering. Zheng Xiu was able to lead such a powerful army at a young age, and he definitely wanted to do the next earth-shattering cause, so Xia Yu deduced that Zheng Xiu would definitely be eager to attack Daming City immediately.

But this time, Xia Yu's speculation failed, and Zheng Xiu did not immediately lead his troops to attack Tongming City. After getting the information of the Lu family, Xia Yu found out. It turned out that Zheng Xiu's troops were busy harvesting wheat.

After getting this information, Xia Yu suddenly realized. Zheng Guo suddenly attacked Wei Guo this time, and the soldiers were very fast, but the weight of grain and grass would greatly reduce the speed of the march. So in order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Zheng Jun certainly did not prepare sufficient food and grass. The reason why Zheng Yuan sent Zheng Xiu to take Qingyan City so quickly. It is also eyeing the wheat around Qingyan City. Qingyan City and Tongming City are both big agricultural cities, and now it is the autumn harvest season, and the wheat in Tongming City has been harvested quickly under the arrangement of Xia Xue. But the rice in Qingyan Castle still grows in the fields, waiting to be harvested.

Therefore, in order to break the morale of Zheng Jun's army, and even surrender his troops without a fight, Xia Yu must find a way to prevent Zheng Xiu from harvesting the wheat in Qingyan City, and the best way is to light the wheat with a torch and burn all the wheat. But Xia Yu is all infantry here, and the mobility is too poor, and Zheng Xiu's men are all cavalry, Xia Yu can send a force to attack the grain and grass of the Zheng army, but this army will definitely not come back, considering that there are not many men and horses in Tongming City, such a battle is too extravagant. However, the three-dimensional mobile unit has just begun to be formed, and it has not yet formed combat effectiveness at all, and it is not at all useful. At this time, it would be a great help if there was a cavalry team.

Xia Yu was in a stalemate for a while, and just when he was at a loss, Wang Jin brought him good news: the ordnance supported by Green Pine City had arrived. Qin Song has now succeeded to the position of the patriarch of the Qin family, and he is also the president of the Songyun Chamber of Commerce. After he learned that Xia Yu had returned, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately granted Tongming City a large amount of ordnance, and he personally escorted this batch of ordnance to Tongming City.

Knowing that Qin Song was coming, Xia Yu immediately happily went out of the city gate to greet him, he and Wang Jin stood in front of the gate of Tongming City, only to see a dusty ramp in the distance, and a team of cavalry rushed towards Tongming City with great momentum, and the person who took the lead was Qin Song. Qin Song led the cavalry troops to rush to the front of Tongming City, and immediately came to a sharp brake, but the formation was still not chaotic, from this it can be seen that this is a well-trained elite cavalry.

"Qin Song, long time no see. Seeing that the cavalry stopped, Xia Yu immediately greeted him.

Qin Song jumped off his horse, and immediately greeted Xia Yu, arched his hand happily, and shouted with a smile: "Benefactor, it's really been a long time." ”

Seeing Qin Song call himself like this, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly: "It's been so long, don't call me like this, just call me Xia Yu." Then, Xia Yu looked at the cavalry troops behind Qin Song and asked suspiciously. "But Qin Song, we asked you to support the ordnance, but I only saw your cavalry, but not the ordnance. ”

"Oh, the ordnance team is still behind, and it will be there soon. Qin Song said. "In addition, I have brought 5,000 soldiers, and I have given them to you. ”

"Five thousand soldiers!" Xia Yu was slightly startled, which was really unexpected for him. Although he also considered borrowing troops from Green Pine City, Green Pine City was smaller than Tongming City, and Tongming City would make up 10,000 troops, let alone Green Pine City, I am afraid that Qin Song did not have many troops in his hands, and it was difficult to divide troops to support Tongming City, so Xia Yu did not speak. This time, Qin Song brought 5,000 soldiers and horses at one time, but he really made a lot of money.

Qin Song let out a "hmm" and turned around and pointed to his cavalry troops: "There are a thousand cavalry here, and another four thousand infantry escorting the ordnance team behind." Zheng Guo must want to annex us this time, and there are eggs under the nest? We in Green Pine City can't sit still and wait for death, we will definitely fully support your Tongming City, these five thousand armor soldiers are a little bit of our Green Pine City. ”

Listening to Qin Song's words, Xia Yu was immediately overjoyed, he really wanted to come whatever he wanted, he was still worried about the lack of a cavalry just now, and God asked Qin Song to send the cavalry. Xia Yu happily grabbed Qin Song's shoulders and said happily: "Thank you so much, Qin Song, you have really helped a lot, this thousand cavalry is really a life-saving straw, I will use it tonight!"
