Chapter 51: The Battle of Wencheng (4)

"Hehe, didn't you put you in the face of dealing with Kong Ming and made you feel very unhappy?" Zhang Yiming said with a smile, as a young man who grew up together, he knew Alexander better than anyone else. And he knew that his friend's ambition was not small, and he knew that as the emperor's nephew, he was theoretically qualified to inherit the throne.

"What do you say?" said Alexander.

"Don't be angry first, this is an opportunity for me to try my best to fight, it depends on whether you can grasp it, if you grasp it, then those elders behind the empire can push you up, if you can't grasp it, there is no way, you can still be a legion leader." Zhang Yiming was really a blockbuster, and he also frightened this brother who grew up together since childhood.

"How?"

"There's a great opportunity to defeat the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army right now, and it's up to you to take it. ”

"Be specific. ”

"Zhao Wu's matter made the emperor very dissatisfied, and he was furious on the spot, just because of his sister's advice, which made the anger in the emperor's heart drop, but everyone knew that it was impossible to continue to let Zhao Wu lead the troops, and his sister also wanted Zhao Wu to get out of this whirlpool, so she found someone to ask me. They need someone to take Zhao Wu's position in order to get Zhao Wu out of there, I said let you go to replace Zhao Wu's Seventh Legion as the commander, and let Zhao Wu go back to the imperial capital as an idle position, you are still the commander of the legion here, but you must let a deputy legion commander replace you to guard here, and declare to the public that you are sick, you are now secretly leaving here with me, to another city near Wencheng, and then from where to transfer to the Seventh Legion headquarters. Zhang Yiming said.

"Now?"

"Now, the order has been brought to you. You see. After Zhang Yiming finished speaking, he took out a letter of appointment signed by the emperor from the space ring and handed it to Alexander. Alexander took it, looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he said to Zhang Yiming in surprise:

"Besides, it's not very good here now, and if I leave, things might change dramatically!"

The situation on this side can be said to be just the same as the situation in Kongming. Kongming's Snow Wolf mercenary army is surrounded by the Harvey army, and the Harvey army here is surrounded by the mercenary army, otherwise Alexander would not have had such a hard time dealing with Wei Qian.

"Just hold it here. And the elimination of Kong Ming over there is the first task, once Kong Ming, the commander of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, is eliminated, then the rest will not be a problem. Zhang Yiming said.

"What is the method of extermination?" Alexander asked.

"I have observed all the battles of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, and the most important thing about them is that this point is the most important point that the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army can win many battles. That's speed. They use the Snow Wolf, a magical beast, as their mount, and the Snow Wolf's speed is not the fastest among the magic horses. And not the most powerful. However, it is the most suitable kind of magic horse for the organization of the large army, and it can be said that this empty light provides us with a model of magic horse that can be equipped on a large scale. Once their snow wolf is restrained, then without the support of the snow wolf, they will not be far from defeat. Zhang Yiming said with a smile.

"How to limit?" He believed in this wise friend very much.

"If it were normal, there really wouldn't be a way to restrain them, but Sora Ming made a fatal mistake, a mistake that would have turned him to failure. He shouldn't have an army of mercenaries who are known for their swimming attacks. To build a stronghold in one place, not to mention that they have also built a new army of more than 400,000 people, and as long as we don't move, they will be stuck all around, so that they can't expand their space for movement. Then we can slowly gather from all sides, and we can slowly trap them to death. Until we are fully ready, we can kill with one blow. In addition, we need to build several completely cavalry armies, and only by riding can we completely neutralize their speed advantage. Only in this way can they no longer come when they want to come and go when they want. Only in this way can our hundreds of thousands of troops no longer crawl slowly like turtles, but like the wind, catch up with them or even surpass them, knowing that we are an empire, and they are nothing more than a group of mercenaries. At the same time, the Empire has already begun to prepare a Snow Wolf Demon Cavalry Army, and will soon be transferred here, I think if nothing else, in another month, we can form a 50,000-strong Snow Wolf Demon Cavalry Army, and these are all handed over to you. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, you're going there now to stabilize Kongming and not let them do anything more. It would be better if we could win this battle. Zhang Yiming said with a smile.

Alexander was really surprised, he didn't expect his old friend to think so well about him, and even thought about it.

"Hehe, if I pass, I won't let Kong Ming have a good time there!"

"Then it's up to you, I'll still be by your side at that time, as a military advisor. Zhang Yiming's words made Alexander very strange, no matter how much the empire attached importance to this snow wolf mercenary army, there was no need to transfer people like Zhang Yiming to the battlefield, but what moved Alexander even more was that this friend of his would come over to help him.

"Haha, there is a bang, why worry about big things!" Alexander laughed wildly, this is a pun.

Zhang Yiming also couldn't stop laughing.

Wencheng, the city lord's mansion. Kong Ming sat on a chair and looked up at the gloomy sky in the sky, the snow kept falling, and the entire City Lord's Mansion was now white. Watching the snow fall, Kong Ming's thoughts couldn't help but fly, from the shape of the battlefield, and thought of the childhood that was once remembered by the Magister, which made his mood worse, counting, most of the time he still has a special feeling for snow. Thinking of this, Kong Ming stood up, walked out of the gate, and walked towards the path in the middle of the city. Behind him, two sages hurriedly followed, these were the two sages that the Huayuan Empire specially sent to him as guards, in other words, his current price was higher than the two sages. The civilians on both sides are still living peacefully, and the mercenary government for more than a month has given them many things that they did not have before, but it has also broken the peace here, and they don't know what it will be like if the Harvey army invades. But now they don't want to give up such a free life, because now they live with more dignity.

Kong Ming looked at it, and couldn't help but think of the current battle again, 500,000 against 500,000, what a great temptation that was? If he could really win this battle, he believed that the current territory would expand even more. However, this is just a dream, even Kong Ming doesn't have much hope for it, if there are only 100,000 people in the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, then he can now continue to relax within the Harvey Empire. However, with Wencheng, there are many concerns, and there are more reasons to stay, but for Kong Ming. This is also the root of the defeat, perhaps for a commander. It's more or less pessimistic. But the outlook is really not good. It's just that most of the mercenaries are still immersed in the joy of victory, and temporarily forget about the cruelty of the future. Unbeknownst to him, his opponent was about to be replaced by Alexander, and there was a young wise man who was famous in the continent as his senior staff, and Kong Ming had nothing but himself and a large number of mud legs who had not received a formal military school education. Walking and walking, Kong Ming walked out of the city. I saw that those mercenaries who were building positions were working in full swing. After standing for a long time, Kong Ming saw a mercenary putting a piece of wood in a position. Blocking the middle of a road, one road turned into two roads at once, and more wood was put on both sides of the log, completely blocking the road. Now our mercenary army is like this road, so that the surrounding Harvey army has blocked the way, and we are stationary now, and we can only let them keep blocking this road, if the road can be moved, then we will not become a dead road, but a living road. We can't stay here now, the Seventh Army is already staring here, and the Fifth Army is dealing with Wei Qian and other mercenary troops, and there is no way to free up their hands, that is to say, now their various cities are empty, if they divide their troops now and continue to seize other cities, they should have a greater certainty, but they don't know what the situation in the surrounding cities is, the art of war is cloudy, and ten times the surrounding will be surrounded, and now although Harvey's army is above us, it is not to the point where it can completely annihilate us, and we don't have to stick to one place, so that they can rest assured of the surrounding cities, and it is necessary to leave here nowBut how do you keep them from knowing and people from finding out? That's the question?

Looking at the mercenaries who were busy, suddenly a captain put down the work in his hand, walked over, saluted Kong Ming and said, "Commander, why do you have time to inspect here?"

The relationship between mercenaries is not strictly superior-subordinate relationship, most of them are just for money, so there is no such strict relationship between other armies.

"You were transferred from the Third Division?" Kong Ming looked at the captain, and seemed to have some image of this person.

"Yes, my name is Qiu Sanjun, and I have been working in the Third Division since Haiyuan City, and I was transferred here a few days ago to be a captain. Qiu Sanjun said.

"Interestingly, Qiu Sanjun means that all three armies are imprisoned together, and there is another way of saying that all the enemy troops are imprisoned together. Your name is interesting. Kong Ming couldn't help laughing.

"Get used to it, that's what the brothers say. Qiu Sanjun didn't care.

"How much work has been done on your position?"

"Eighty percent, right? It's going to be done in two days. ”

"Good job, haha!" Kong Ming patted Qiu Sanjun on the shoulder, and happily went back to the City Lord's Mansion, now he has an idea.

The City Lord's Mansion, the four army commanders and more than twenty division commanders all gathered, because now Kong Ming began to have a new idea, and this was also a key meeting that would affect the future battle situation.

"Now that our 400,000 troops are accumulating here, so that the enemy is looking at us like this without any care, this is not a good phenomenon for us, and the 400,000 army is in such a small place, it cannot be spread, and there is not much need, the goal of attracting the enemy's main force in the previous stage has been achieved, now we should think about the next plan, you talk about your views. We need to brainstorm ideas. Kong Ming set the tone of this meeting as soon as he opened his mouth, not a question of whether to protect Wencheng, but a question of how to develop. This sentence suddenly changed the policy of defending Wencheng in the past few days. Sometimes, especially in the military, in wartime. Meetings must not be long, and meetings of one or two hours are long, because these two hours can sometimes mean the life and death of an army.

"Yes, now the enemy is like a big turtle, and if we stand in their way, they will crawl to us no matter how much they climb, but if we get out of here and don't get in their way, they won't be able to eat us too easily. We can go and do something else. I'm in favor of leaving Wencheng and giving them an empty city, after all, we now have enough time for the training of soldiers, and all we lack is combat experience, which can only be obtained in battle. Li Yao said. He was extremely opposed to the siege of Wencheng. There is no need to put an army of 400,000 men here for a city to make a decisive battle. Because the mercenary army simply does not have the ability to fight the so-called decisive battle with the Harvey army, it is not an order of magnitude at all, what kind of decisive battle is there to talk about?

"I think too, if we stay here, sooner or later we will become a part of this place, and I won't live enough. Che Qi also said on the side. As a guy in charge of the intelligence of the entire Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, the information he deals with every day can scare him to death, and it is better to stay away from danger.

"You go, I'll stay!" Yiyi said. She really has feelings for Wencheng, it is rare to let her be in charge of such a city, she just gave up as soon as there was some improvement, she was really reluctant, after all, she left too many thoughts here.

"Okay, do it this way, Yi Yiyi with 10,000 cavalry, sent by the second army, stay in Wencheng, once the shape is not right, immediately transfer, the first army marches to the west, capture several cities west of Wencheng, the speed must be fast, and then try to completely form a cavalry to increase mobility. The Second Army stays behind in Wencheng, and you have to act out the appearance of the 400,000 troops still in Wencheng, until we do it elsewhere before we can end such a scene, when the enemy approaches, leave immediately, do not hesitate, if the deputy commander does not leave, you will immediately knock her unconscious, forcibly take her away, there must be no mistake; I will move with the three armies, and the three armies will attack in the southeast direction, and we will also take down several cities near Wencheng; the fourth army, move to the northeast, open up the connection with the Songjiang side, so that the other mercenary armies can also go south through Guò Songjiang, and share some pressure on us。 Order the 1st and 2nd Columns to constantly harass the Seventh Army Corps, so that it cannot be distracted from other directions, and ensure the implementation of our plans. Start the action in the evening. Kong Ming said.

Yi Yiyi heard Kong Ming do this to him, and his heart was full of anger, but now he was embarrassed to refute Kong Ming's face at the meeting, and he only gritted his teeth on the side, so that everyone could only snicker.

Later, everyone discussed some details of the action on the basis of Kongming's plan before they dispersed.

"Why did you let them knock me out? Am I so ignorant?" Yi Yiyi shouted, causing the people next to her to leave one after another after seeing this, saving Yang and the pond fish.

"No, I'm just afraid that you will have the idea of co-existing with the city, so I asked them to prepare earlier, otherwise where can I reason then?" Kong Ming said wrongly, you must know that this woman is the God of Wealth of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, if there is a damage, Kong Ming will not have to go around?

"Come on, I'm not that kind of person, it's just that I can't let go of it because I have paid so much. Can you tell me why you asked them to divide their troops, you know, you have always been against the division of troops. "Yiyi knows Kong Ming very well now.

"We have to divide our troops, if we are very sure of the battle of the Seventh Legion, I will not divide our forces like this, eat the Seventh Legion and then capture the other cities separately, how good would it be? However, the truth is not up to us, once we and the Seventh Legion are defeated, at that time, not to mention that the Fifth Legion may divide its forces at any time and move south to flank us, and the other noble private armies alone can overwhelm us. In the past two days, I have seen a book I bought from a bookstore here, which records the previous battles of several other mercenary troops to attack the Harvey Empire, although they only conquered a few cities of Harvey, far from the time we have crossed the river like we are now. But their defeat was often eaten after they had lost both with Harvey's regular legions, allowing the private armies of the nobility to see the opportunity and fight to the death. Falling short. So we can't go back to their back path, now we can only use Wencheng to attract their firepower and attention, let them all pay attention to here, and then we will continue to seize the city on the other side, and continue to expand our mercenary army at the same time, so that these mercenaries can get combat training, only in this way, we can have a trace of self-preservation when the Harvey army really comes, otherwise, we have not yet become a climate, we will let the enemy wipe us out, where is there anything else. As long as our army of 400,000 can be made to stand out from it after three or four battles, and become a real army, if by that time, with 500,000 against 500,000, I can be confident that I can cross those enemies, but not now, we cannot risk a risk that should not be taken with the lives of 400,000 troops. Kong Ming said seriously to Yi Yiyi.

"In other words, do you want these 400,000 troops to fight constantly to achieve the purpose of training?" Yi Yiyi said. At this time, after Kong Ming has clearly revealed this meaning, she no longer understands that it is not Yi Yiyi, not to mention that she just has some ideas because she has not been rewarded for her temporary efforts, if she wants to die in the city, she will probably not, this Kong Ming can be guaranteed, otherwise it will not be so easy to convince her, you must know that as a nobleman, this kind of education has been very much.

"That's just one of the goals. ”

"What other purpose?" Yi Yiyi couldn't figure out.

"Another purpose, you actually see it in your eyes, but you are in the game, so you don't see it. Kong Ming smiled.

"What's the other purpose?"

"Start a civilian war, let the civilians in the city we have won move, we are responsible for the regular army of the Harvey army, and they are in charge of the noble private army of Harvey, you must know that force, is what we should pay more attention to, because those noble private armies are the strong guarantee of the Harvey Empire, and once the civilians are armed, they can directly confront them, because among the noble private armies, more are from the civilians, and one more person from them will have one less person on our side, on the contrary, one more person on our side, one less person on their side, so we have to give them a salary from the bottom of the kettle。 (To be continued......)
