Chapter 20 - Hand in hand

The small gap must be multiplied, and the small profit must be obtained. Less yin and less yang.

Press: Where the army moves, there are many gaps, and it is not necessary to win by taking advantage of the situation. Victory is available, defeat is also available.

---- "Thirty-six Strategies: Holding the Sheep"

Kong Ming quietly listened to the report of the car, if it is like what the prisoners of war said, then you can take a little risk to knock down this city, one of them can expand the influence, and transfer the three devils here as much as possible, then Kong Ming also has an explanation for the sea city lord, and the most important thing is that Kong Ming can use the terrain here, relatively familiar with the situation, to preset the battlefield here, so that it is more beneficial for the mercenary army. Instead of running to the three devils and doing some brain-dead things on someone's home field. Kong Ming asked many detailed questions carefully, especially the arrangement of the Harvey Army.

The Harvey army is divided into four military camps, and the soldiers in each military camp are not equal, and the original ones who came out to support Guan Pingkou are composed of the forces belonging to the western military camp and the northern military camp, so now there are 3,000 people in each of the two military camps in the west and north, and 5,000 people in the east and south, and the remaining 4,000 people live in the city lord's mansion and are the guards of the city lord. Their mutual support usually takes 10 minutes for a team to arrive. Of course, this is the statement of the Harvey army, and Kong Ming constantly compares the distance between the four military camps, ten square kilometers, and there is generally a distance of about two kilometers between the two armies, more or less, but basically it is the case, if it is an elite army, and under the correct command, it takes five minutes to assemble the team, two minutes to clarify the goal, and ten minutes to unfold the movement, that is to say, if the strength of the elite soldiers is calculated, the enemy's first military camp will arrive within seventeen minutes, considering that the Harvey army is not mainly elite soldiers, so the time is pushed back a little, and it will arrive within twenty-five minutes to join the battle。 Then Kong Ming and they must break through the guards of the city gate within twenty-five minutes, otherwise it is really a very risky thing to attack a city with their current strength. When Kong Ming was thinking about it, Yi Yiyi next to him laughed: "Where do you have to think about it so much? Just change into their clothes and run back, really, where is there so much trouble." ”

"What are you talking about?" Kong Ming said loudly, and Kong Ming's voice was so loud that it startled everyone.

"Why are you screaming so loudly?" Yiyi jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on.

"The previous sentence. Kong Ming said seriously, but Kong Ming still didn't realize what was wrong with him.

"Where is there such ......"

"One more sentence. Kong Ming stared at Yiyiyi Dao with shining eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Change... Change... Put on their clothes and flee back......" Yiyi said in a panic.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it, change into their clothes, change into their clothes, yes, how could I not think of it?" Kong Ming muttered. With Kong Ming's words, the eyes of the other regiment commanders lit up, and there were many people who didn't do this kind of thing for the first time, this is the old business.

"Take five hundred men, ride horses, change into their clothes, and take their heads, and go and open the gates. Well, when you arrive at the city gate at dusk, you will have more blood on your face, so that it will look more real, our team will follow after you, two kilometers away from you, you just need to occupy the city gate, send a signal, we will attack together, you go to prepare now, and when you are ready, you will set off, and pay attention to safety along the way. ”

"Yes. "After the car is finished, I will go and arrange it.

"For the rest of the matter, the people of the Fifth Regiment are responsible for watching those prisoners of war here, don't let them escape, and after the battle starts, leave here immediately, rush to Fangneng City, and let them stay on their own. The other regiments prepared and waited for the vanguard of the second regiment to leave, followed after five kilometers from them, and at dusk, the approach was two kilometers, and the order of march was the first regiment, the second regiment, the magic regiment, the headquarters, the bow and arrow regiment, the third regiment, and the fourth regiment. Go quickly and get ready. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After the people of each group left, Kong Ming looked at Yi Yiyi and said, "Thank you!"

"Thank you for what?" Yi Yiyi didn't know much about military affairs, but she didn't know much about people, she heard the sincerity in Kong Ming's words, this was the first thank you she had heard since the two had worked together for so long, which made her a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, how about telling you a story?" Kong Ming smiled, obviously, Yiyiyi's words just now made him feel extremely good.

"You can tell stories too, I'll just listen to it!" said Yiyi.

"Once upon a time a man walked through a meadow, and there were many sheep grazing in the meadow, and he looked around, and the sheep herders did not know where they were going. He thought about it, and anyway, he took the nearest sheep away. This is a hand-holding sheep, a sheep may not be worth much, but if it is easy to take away, the size is also a piece of meat. Kong Ming looked at her after finishing speaking, but Kong Ming was really disappointed, and Yi Yiyi couldn't find anything on her to explain that she understood the meaning of this sentence.

"You mean, you're taking the sheep by the hand?" Yi Yiyi said with some uncertainty, and Kong Ming nodded, finally understanding a little.

"Although you don't have any money, you don't steal sheep either!" Yi Yiyi's next sentence directly made Kong Ming speechless.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Kong Ming stopped talking, looked at the mercenaries who were preparing, and didn't know if the action tonight would be smooth or not, if it was other armies that had been trained and had combat experience, Kong Ming might not necessarily use this kind of risky strategy, but looking at the captured Harvey soldiers in front of him, Kong Ming really wanted to say that if he didn't use this strategy, he really couldn't live with those who gave him a chance.

In the evening, when the sun had set, and the last rays of light were left on the horizon, five hundred badly dressed Harvey soldiers escorted the general back to the city. At this time, the city gate has been locked, the guards on the city are staring nervously into the distance, there are many combat supplies on the city gate, and the magic array has been opened, which is used to protect the magic of those powerful and magicians with super destructive power. Seeing the more than five hundred Harvey soldiers fleeing back, they became nervous again, as if a battle was about to befall them in an instant. More than 500 soldiers ran to the city, many of them panting, so that some of the people above could not see clearly, a sergeant guarding the city on the city gate looked down, only to see the people below crowded together, many of them were still wrapped around their shirts and torn, when gauze was used with bloodstained bandages, and even a few people shared a horse, and the swords were also placed in a mess, and some did not have swords, and the person who took the lead was the general who went out with the soldiers in the morning. He can see it clearly, but now the appearance of the general makes him look really happy, not for anything else, just for the contradiction between the two generals, so that he, as a subordinate, sees each other like this, and his mood is comfortable, and it has nothing to do with the war.

"What part of you are from?" the sergeant asked in a long voice.

"Are you blind, don't you see our general coming back? Hurry up and open the door and let us in. Che replied, posing as a personal soldier of the Harvey general.

"Where, where, which general has returned, why didn't I see it?" the sergeant deliberately teased again, and this time the entire soldiers above the city gate laughed. In this case, you can see happiness.

Che Yi also felt strange below, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you open the city gate as soon as you meet, and still flirt like this, how can you be like this?"

"The guards of the four city gates themselves have some contradictions, and no one obeys each other, which is an open secret in Fang Neng City, and that person is called Fang Bianmian, who is the brother-in-law of the city gate guard, and his brother-in-law is there to cover him, this kid is especially not dealing with me. ”

"So?" Che Yu thought for a while, and suddenly pushed the general secretly with one hand, making him stunned, and when the general had not yet reacted, he fainted, and his body fell straight from the horse, for a while, the mercenaries near him felt a little incredible, you must know that this general is not much to him, how could he faint? At this time, a mercenary next to Che Yu reacted, stretched out his hand to hug the general who was about to fall to the ground, and shouted: "General, general, you can't be fine!"

"General, General!"

"General, General!"

"General, General!"

"General, General!"

"General, General!"

"General, you can't be fine, we're back, you must hold on! The city gate is here, as long as we go in, you will have a doctor to heal, you must hold on, those eight kings dare not open the door for you, after you enter, no matter the thirty-seven twenty-one brothers will cut off his dog's head first, let you be happy, if you die, then we must sue this matter to the imperial capital, please avenge the old man for you, general, you have to hold on, you are about to leave this ghost place, you don't take ninety-nine steps, just one step away, you will fall, damn it, we will not let him go, as long as you have three long and two short……”

The mercenary once again played his specialty, his voice was earnest, and he spoke so that everyone's scalp was numb, and their eyes were in a daze, this person was too neat, and the Harvey soldiers above the city gate were even more overwhelmed, you know, although this general is not very good, but people are really ready to return to the emperor's post, it is said that the orders are on the way, and this battle is also the city lord deliberately sold him a good, learned that it is not a good bandit, let him go before he crosses the gold, and after returning to the imperial capital, there is a reason to speak. So after seeing this kind of thing, the sergeant was also nervous, and hurriedly came down to open the city gate, which was very different from the attitude just now. Afterwards, Kong Ming once asked the mercenary how he could react so quickly, and he replied that before entering the Land of Chaos, he used to be the main actor of a local drama, but he was hunted down by the nobles because of his affair with the wife of a nobleman, and because of this, he was thrown into the Land of Chaos, and where his specialty was acting, of course, he was also a fifth-level assassin himself, otherwise, he would have let the nobleman divide the body a long time ago. This made Kong Ming sigh, the talents among the mercenaries are really forced by life, and they have many stunts.

The city gate was opened, and after the dozen or so soldiers inside hurriedly opened the door, they quickly stood on both sides, for fear of blocking the general's way, and if they were a minute late, they would always be implicated. Seeing this situation, several mercenaries in front of them got on their horses one after another, and several mercenaries next to the general carried them on their horses, and then rushed in, knocking the dozen or so Harvey soldiers into both sides, and the soldiers thought that these people were all angry and didn't pay much attention, but after the people in front of them left the city gate, they suddenly felt that something was wrong, because as soon as their erections were cold, they didn't know anything. After the mercenaries in front poured in, they quickly rushed through the stairs next to the city gate towards the control room on the city gate, and rushed in amid the stunned eyes of the Harvey soldiers. At this time, it was impossible for the Harvey soldiers to realize that these things were wrong, but the control room had already been controlled by the mercenaries, and the city gate could no longer be closed, and at this time, a mercenary magician quickly cast a scroll, and a huge fireball rose into the sky, flying dozens of meters high in the sky, and suddenly exploded, so that everyone in the distance could see it clearly, especially on such a night when it was just getting dark.

After the group in front saw it, it knew that the mercenaries in front had taken the city gate, and quickly advanced at full speed, and the snow wolf drove at full speed, and the two-kilometer distance was in the blink of an eye. At this time, the city gate was already in chaos, the mercenaries and Harvey's soldiers were tearing together, and inside the city gate were the mercenaries controlling, and the soldiers of the first group did not pay any attention to the mercenaries who took the lead, but went straight through the city gate, heading straight towards the nearest military camp here, and then the other teams, too. Looking at these mercenaries rushing in, the Harvey soldiers at the head of the city completely lost their ability to resist, and fled one after another or surrendered with their weapons.

A group went straight down the street to a nearby barracks, led the way by the Harvey soldiers captured during the ambush, and after a while, the mercenaries in front had already seen the barracks, and those Harvey soldiers were still gathering in a sparse manner, not prepared at all, this situation made the mercenaries breathe a sigh of relief, and rushed straight into the gate, rushing towards those people. The battle began in the blink of an eye. After a round of fighting spirit of several big sword masters in front, dozens of Harvey soldiers who were not prepared in front of them were chopped to death, and flesh and blood flew sideways, this scene made those Harvey soldiers who were still laughing suddenly have a short circuit in their heads, and they don't know what to do, some people reacted at once, and suddenly, they fled in all directions, and others saw this scene, and they also fled in all directions. When the mercenaries saw this, did they have a reason not to take the opportunity to attack? The mercenaries suddenly burst into the chaotic Harvey soldiers in a charging formation. After a while, some of the Harvey soldiers finally understood, they had been attacked, and it was a violent attack. Some of the Harvey soldiers formed their own formations to resist the onslaught of the mercenaries, while some of the Harvey soldiers used the barracks to attack the mercenaries who passed by, etc., and the mercenaries also mixed with the Harvey soldiers after the initial onslaught. All of a sudden, the barracks was on fire everywhere, and the dark night also made those magic and fighting spirit light up half of the sky.

The first regiment attacked the military camp in the east, the second regiment went to the south to attack the military camp, and the rest of the people came straight to the city lord's mansion under the leadership of Kong Ming. There is a way to capture the thief and capture the king first, once the city lord's mansion is captured, the other Harvey troops will naturally collapse without a fight. The City Lord's Mansion of Fang Neng City has already reacted at this time, although he doesn't know what happened specifically, but Fang Neng City was attacked by the enemy, this is still known, and the city lord's reaction was also beyond Kong Ming's expectations, after Kong Ming arrived with three regiments, four regiments, five regiments, and magic regiments and guard regiments, I saw that the front of the City Lord's Mansion had been lined up in a phalanx waiting there. The narrow road was not suitable for the onslaught of the cavalry, but the mercenaries did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight forward, and carried out a trampling attack on the Harvey soldiers. The blockage in front of the road blocked the road behind, in this case, only a hard head-on battle, but obviously, the mercenaries did not think about this kind of thing, the mercenaries on both sides in order to quickly open a passage, instead of letting those Harvey soldiers seal them here, quickly used their fighting spirit to smash the houses on both sides, thus increasing the frontal impact on the Harvey soldiers in a certain place. In order to avoid a large-scale blockage, Kong Ming divided the mercenary army into many squads, and only maintained enough strength depth on the front avenue to prevent the enemy from dragging the mercenaries across. Obviously, this tactic was beyond the expectations of the city lord, in his expectation, the mercenaries should follow one or more roads to the city lord's mansion, so that as long as he blocked several main roads, then it would be like blocking the impact of water, and at this time, he could use their advantage of wide front and large forces to drag the mercenaries alive, at the same time, the magicians of the Harvey Army continued to cast magic on the mercenaries, wanting to consume the mercenaries here. However, Kongming's tactics made him fail in this point. When the mercenaries dispersed enough, Kong Ming finally used the magic group, under the command of Wen Yue, the head of the magic group, more than a thousand magicians, at the same time, cast magic scrolls, and in an instant, a lot of fireballs, fire dragons, wind blades, tornadoes, hail and other magic fell in the sky above the city lord's mansion. The entire land of about one square kilometer was completely covered. After this wave of magic, there are still many people in the City Lord's Mansion who survived, but the number of people facing the mercenaries was much smaller, and because of the large area covered, they also lost their support for a while. At this time, the mercenaries saw this situation and suddenly strengthened their assault force. Harvey's lord didn't expect the mercenaries to have such a powerful magical power, and if he had known that, he wouldn't have crowded those soldiers together for the magicians to attack. You must know that the reason why mages are precious is not only because they are more difficult to practice, but also because they have more attack methods, which can be killed, and more importantly, they can be covered by faces, which is a feature that other professions do not have, and this kind of face killing can be defeated by one when they reach the Holy Magister. This shows the importance of magic. And Harvey's mistake also made Kong Ming's command a little smoother, because the front had begun to break through.

For a while, from four directions, the mercenaries broke through from some places and attacked the city lord's mansion. On the city gate, the Harvey soldiers here have been cleaned by the mercenaries, Kong Ming and the magic team leader and the captain of the guards watched the battle in the distance together, with their strength, they could easily know what was happening ahead, not to mention that the city gate was one of the few supreme points in the city.

"Wen Yue, this hand of yours can make Harvey's city lord roll on the ground for a few times?" Kong Ming teased.

"I don't know, if he can survive, he is willing to fight a few, a few, it has nothing to do with me. Wen Yue said. He was also very satisfied with the sudden attack. When a few people arrived just now, the phenomenon of stagnation of attacks had begun to appear in front, Kong Ming asked him to use magic to open the way for the mercenaries, he objected, because only when those enemy troops were brought together, the ability of magic to kill and injure could be revealed, so the two of them watched the battle over there here, and this time the magic effect was obvious, covering all the places in the city lord's mansion, so that those low-level soldiers were directly eliminated from the battle, reducing the loss of cavalry, and more importantly, this hand made other Harvey troops who rushed to support have opinions, because the large number of magicians is for low-defense troops such as infantry and cavalryIt's a nightmare. So this time the magic showed that it also delayed the speed of the enemy's reinforcements in disguise.
