Chapter 181: On the eve of the decisive battle

Xuzhou Qin Wang's Palace.

As soon as Lin Biwu, the king of Qin, entered the study, his face that had been smiling suddenly became gloomy, almost the same picture, a middle-aged scribe in the study sat leisurely in it and drank tea, and when he saw the king of Qin coming in, he poured a cup of tea for the king of Qin in a hurry, handed it to the king of Qin and said:

"His Royal Highness King Qin seems to have some bad news?"

King Qin sat down and said with a gloomy face: "Then Lin Haotian wants this king to lead two million troops to the east to support Goguryeo." ”

"Two million troops to conquer the east to support Goguryeo?" The middle-aged scribe frowned, thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, this Lin Haotian's strategy is so vicious, diverting the tiger from the mountain, not only making His Highness lose his control over the northwest army, but also relieving the worries of the capital, and also supporting Goguryeo by the way, killing three birds with one stone, when did Lin Haotian be so bold and dare to let His Highness lead the troops, or two million troops to conquer the east?"

Lin Biwu, the king of Qin, snorted, "This king doesn't know who came up with Lin Haotian's idea, aren't they afraid that this king will take these two million troops to the east and go to the capital to kill Lin Haotian's throne?!"

The middle-aged scribe cautiously reminded: "Since Lin Haotian dares to let His Highness bring these two million troops, I am afraid that he will not worry about His Highness's counterattack on Xuzhou, the group of sticks in Goguryeo are very timid, and they will definitely not dare to revolt with His Highness if the Japanese are not cleared, and if his subordinates guess correctly, Lin Haotian will definitely keep a back hand on His Highness." ”

King Qin sighed slightly, "What you said is indeed reasonable, Lin Haotian has deployed 700,000 border guards, 500,000 Du family troops and 200,000 Rouran iron cavalry in Liaodong, a total of 1.4 million elite troops, plus millions of local troops in various counties in Liaodong. The strength is not abundant. Nominally, it was to prevent Goguryeo from being able to stop the offensive of the Japanese state. In fact, it is to defend against this king, and he Lin Haotian is not a good army for this king, a million border guards transferred from northern Xinjiang are okay, but the garbage troops of one million local troops are simply used to disgust this king, and he also sent an unknown Chen Gulai to be the deputy commander of the eastern army, which is simply too deceitful!"

The middle-aged scribe sighed lightly, "Your Highness, what kind of person is this Chen Gu." I haven't heard much of it before. ”

King Qin didn't know much about the history of this Chen Gu, so he could only say vaguely: "This king is not too clear, but I heard Lin Haotian say that Chen Gu was originally a personal disciple of Du Lin, the previous general of the protector of the country, and had just been promoted to General Yunlu, but his name is still a little familiar to this king, as if he had heard it somewhere." ”

The middle-aged scribe suddenly said with some sternness: "Your Highness, your subordinates know who that Chen Gu is!"

King Qin hurriedly asked without hesitation, "Who?" The person who can leave him King Qin with a sense of familiarity should be more important.

The middle-aged scribe didn't sell his son either, "The deputy commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army under Lin Jun! The previous commander of the Praetorian Guard who assisted Lin Jun in forming the Xiao Cavalry Army from General Xuanwei of the Fourth Rank!"

King Qin's eyes looked at the middle-aged scribe very sharply, and said word by word: "You!

The middle-aged scribe nodded.

King Qin paced back and forth with some annoyance. After a long time, he stopped, and said with a dark smile: "I didn't expect this king's good nephew to hide so deeply." This king underestimated him!"

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, did you promise that Lin Haotian to lead the army to conquer the east, this Chen Gu is Lin Jun's henchman, it must be difficult to buy, and it is not difficult to mobilize those high-flying Du family troops as his descendant of Du Lin, and it will definitely be our biggest obstacle at that time, can we really honestly go to Lin Haotian to defend the territory of the northeast, so that Ye Ling Yan can free up his hands to deal with the attack of Rakshasa and other countries?"

King Qin waved his hand, and said with some annoyance: "Chen Gu is not afraid, just find an opportunity to kill him when the time comes, he is only 48 years old this year, it is good to have second-rate martial arts, there is no need to worry, as for the army to conquer the east, this king will not be able to go, this king has even thought about the trick of pretending to be sick, but Lin Haotian is determined to transfer this king this time, if this king does not obey, the three thousand royal forest troops outside will completely eradicate the Qin Wangfu, as for this king, he will definitely be placed under house arrest." ”

"What?" The middle-aged scribe was shocked and looked at King Qin incredulously, "Now that the Imperial Forest Army has surrounded King Qin's Mansion, he, Lin Haotian, is not afraid of gossip from people in the world?"

King Qin nodded, and said gloomily, "Otherwise, you think this king will be willingly driven by him." ”

The middle-aged scribe showed an anxious look for the first time, and said uneasily: "Then won't our decades of planning be in vain?"

King Qin sighed slightly: "It is in the sky to make things happen, I can't imagine that this move of the Wa Kingdom has ruined the king's plan for decades, but now the situation is undecided, and we may not have no chance, the king of the northwest side has also explained, let them act at the opportunity, as for our army in the east, it can only depend on the situation." ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded dejectedly, after planning for so many years, it seems that it is about to succeed, after all, it is still not the enemy of heaven's will, but it is a pity that although King Qin obeys his words, he never dares to trust himself, otherwise he will not be able to leave himself in Longzhou remote command and dispatch.

Ten days later, after the expedition to the east of the army (in fact, it was a temporary transfer of one million local troops, and the 1 million border guards in northern Xinjiang went directly to Goguryeo with Chen Gu from northern Xinjiang. From the capital began to go to Goguryeo, Ye Ling also organized the Rouran Iron Cavalry and the Xiao Cavalry to launch a sneak attack on the Rakshasa cavalry who were marching to Bulgan City, two million Rouran Iron Cavalry suddenly killed on the road of the Rakshasa cavalry, the Rakshasa cavalry who was caught off guard was instantly defeated, and the battle took place in less than half an hour This huge number of Rakshasa cavalry was defeated, in the face of the elite Rouran Iron Cavalry, many people chose to flee after the Rakshasa cavalry was defeated, and the blood of the two million Rakshasa cavalry was killed into a river, and the blood and water gradually converged into a red river, and countless war horses that lost their owners scattered and fled。

Killed 800,000 Rakshasa cavalry, captured 50 horses, and countless weapons and materials, this is the basic result of this ambush war, and the deeper result is that in the decisive battle that will be carried out, the Rakshasa will be strict and lacks cavalry, even if the Rakshasa rear army can collect back these cavalry routs, but the strength and morale are not enough to pose too much threat to the Dazhao Expeditionary Army, in this way, the back road of the Dazhao Expeditionary Force will be guaranteed, you know, the infantry will never be able to catch up with the cavalry who want to run away.

At this time, the Rakshasa Emperor Peter the Great had come to the Rakshasa Army, and the high-level orcs of the orc clan also left the orc soldiers who were marching and came to the tent of Peters the Great in advance, they could not have imagined that in the face of the huge army of Rakshasa and the orcs of 13 million, the army of the Great Zhao Expeditionary Army, which was less than 3 million, dared to take the initiative to provoke, and successfully disabled the only cavalry unit in the Rakshasa and orc army.

Beast Emperor Morrick and the prophet Sam of the Beast Race actually moved a little carefully after learning the news that the two million cavalry of the Rakshasa were defeated again, although the orcs lost more than four million orcs in the last mistake of the Battle of the Heavenly Wolf Pass, but the orc race actually did not break the muscles and bones, plus two years of recuperation, the orcs with extremely fast reproduction speed quickly supplemented the military strength of the main force of 6 million battles, and on the other hand, the Rakshasa has more than 12 million standing combat troops, including more than 5 million cavalry, more than 3 million mages, more than 3 million infantry, and now it has lost more than 5 million cavalry and infantry, There are only 3 million mages and 2 million infantry left, as well as this million defeated cavalry that is barely retracted, and there are many other places, among the 7 million army of the Rakshasa in front of them, there are only two million mages and more than 1 million infantry, more than 1 million cavalry and 3 million local troops with low combat effectiveness, the Beast Emperor and the Orc Prophet are now considering whether to take this opportunity to abandon this Rakshasa army, let them and the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force work hard, and lead the troops back to the Beast God Lake (Lake Baikal) to usurp the Rakshasa country。

However, they quickly dispelled this idea, if they do this, I am afraid it will cause a full-scale confrontation in the Western magic world, Da Zhao and the orcs have a blood feud and it is definitely impossible to cooperate, when the time comes, the strength of the orc race against the Holy See, the beast emperor and the prophet glanced at each other, and immediately gave up this tempting idea, besides, the logistics of the orcs are in the hands of the Rakshasas, and if they can't capture a large number of Rakshasa cities in a short time, then the logistics will definitely get rid of the crippled orcs.

The orcs are notoriously weak in production capacity, if it weren't for the relief that the Rakshasa has been relieving, I'm afraid the orcs would have starved to death, of course, the actual situation is that the Rakshasa has always wanted to use cheap food to control the beasts for their use, and at the same time, they are afraid that the orcs will take risks to rob the Rakshasa of food without food, causing a lot of tragedies, but this does not prevent the ordinary orcs of the orcs from being grateful to the rakshasas, although the rakshasas have been controlling the supply of food in order to occupy the initiative, and the orcs with a fast reproduction rate have no way to develop.

When Emperor Rakshasa received the news of the defeat in front of him, he looked at his subordinate race - Orcs in a state of anger at the same time, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Beast Emperor and the Beast Prophet did not want to split the Rakshasa Intensify the urgent training of 5 million local troops into combat units, and at the same time expand the convening of local troops within the Rakshasa country, as for military expenses, damn it, just raise it from the ignorant serfs and their serf owners, blame that damn Ye Ling, who would suddenly lead an expeditionary force into the Rakshasa and suffer heavy losses.
