Chapter 100: Dead End
100 chapters of dead end
At night, the birds did not chirp, the insects did not chirp, and the Anrong people did not move, and they did not seem to have any intention of attacking overnight.
After Hu Wei asked Hong to rest, he didn't feel sleepy at all. After reading the war book for a while, my heart seemed to have an understanding, so I thought about this war according to the ideas in the war book.
The rebellion of the Red Turban Army lasted more than a year, and although it has now been dispersed, the impact they left behind is far from over. Langtian has been a rich land since ancient times, and the rebellion of the Red Turban Army not only caused the empire to lose a lot of money and taxes, but also caused the morale of the imperial team to plummet. In addition to this year's natural disasters, several major grain-producing areas have not been harvested, although there is a symbolic distribution of disaster grain, but officials at all levels have tried their best to exploit it at all levels, and in the end, the victims not only do not get the disaster food, but if they want to live, they have to sell themselves as slaves to have food. The emperor of Valencia is better, not long after the Langtian War started, the Red Turban Army did not enter Zhongzhou, so he abandoned the imperial capital and ran to Phoenix City, the headquarters of the Red Fen Legion. I don't know if he is afraid of death, or if he takes the opportunity to go there to soak horses.
Greedy for such an emperor and such an official, what can the common people do except lament the bitterness of life. It's hard to guarantee even basic survival, what else can you let them do?
What about other regions, Hu Wei doesn't know, so let's not talk about it for the time being. Qingzhou, which Hu Wei knows alone, is now a city where people have no solid ambition and no strong city. In the army, it can be said that the generals are bad, the soldiers are not proficient, the laws and regulations are incomplete, and the people have no fighting wisdom.
It's ridiculous that the upper-level generals of the empire are still dreaming of being the number one military power in the Tianfeng Continent. They are wishful thinking, and they still think that they have a powerful force like the one that could overthrow the Bauhinia Empire thirty-eight years ago.
They also don't want to think about how they treat ordinary people. The common people didn't even have to eat, so they had to eat easily. There are soldiers in the army who want to eat wild vegetable porridge to live, and who else will fight hard for this empire that is still very young but has already decayed, as he did at the beginning. Hu Wei even dared to say that if any force dared to guarantee that after they came in, they could make the common people live a better life than they are now, then the common people of the empire would raise their hands to welcome them to fight. It's like there's a joke that says welcome to do it.
In such an environment, the empire did not think about how to recuperate, improve people's livelihood, accumulate national strength, and develop the army.
There are clouds in the book of soldiers, soldiers, national events, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, which must be observed. Another cloud, I don't know the location is not feasible.
Now the empire can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, but the army of 360,000 has marched into Anrong. Let's not talk about how much burden the consumption of food, grass, money and grain will bring to the empire. The mere fact that the military is in another country, the people are incompatible, the land is unknown, and the information is not accurate, is enough to cause heavy losses.
Since entering the Anrong realm, the Fifth Route Army has been attacked by the Anrong people many times, and now it is trapped in the mountains by the Anrong people, which can already explain the problem.
"Well, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning. β
Closing the military book in his hand, Hu Wei let out a long sigh. Although it has long been expected that this battle will not be easy to fight. Now it seems that just being difficult to fight is not enough to explain the problem.
"Your Excellency. Seeing Hu Wei walk out of the military tent, the soldiers on duty at night immediately saluted.
Hu Wei's appearance in the past few days, the soldiers are all looking at it. They all knew in their hearts that if it weren't for Hu Wei, they might have died in the hands of An Rong people a long time ago. Hu Wei's bravery and wisdom convinced them, so they respected Hu Wei from the bottom of their hearts as the commander who took the lead in rushing forward in the face of the enemy.
Hu Wei nodded to the guards and asked, "Are Hou San and Harrison back?"
The guard replied respectfully: "If you return to your lordship, you haven't yet." β
"As soon as I have news of them, I will report them immediately. β
"Yes" The guard responded, saw Hu Wei walking out, hesitated for a moment, and boldly asked, "My lord, are you going?"
"I'll just walk around, it's around here, you don't have to come along. β
Hu Wei found a stone in the dark, sat down, looked at the stars in the sky, and must be a little like a god. If the death of a life will lead to one more star in the sky, then it will not be long before there will be more stars in the sky. Maybe 360,000.
There was a sound of small footsteps in his ears, and Hu Wei didn't need to go back to know that the person was red, just listening to the footsteps, he knew. Her steps are always so gentle. I heard that red is also quite spicy in the army. But Hu Wei has never seen a red and spicy appearance, and the red in his eyes is always a watery woman. Seeing her, it always reminds people of the woman in Jiangnan Yimeng's pen, tender and pitiful.
"Why haven't you slept yet. β
Hu Wei asked softly, as if he was afraid of waking up the tranquility here.
Red came to Hu Wei's side, sat down against Hu Wei, and brought a burst of daughter's fragrance to this green grassland.
"I can't sleep, come out for a walk. What are you thinking, look like you're in a heavy mood. Hong leaned his head on Hu Wei's shoulder and said with a sigh of relief.
"I'm thinking about you. Hu Wei smiled, he didn't want to tell Hong. Maybe it's because of the man's idea in Hu Wei's heart, he always feels that women should not be involved in war. In his opinion, war is a man's business, and women should walk away.
"Liar, my tent is right next door to you, if you're thinking about me, then I'm going to sue you that you're going in the wrong direction. Hong Sajiao gently punched Hu Wei, and then continued: "You are worried about the war." β
Hu Wei had long known that this reason could not deceive Hong, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Has anyone ever sued you, you shouldn't be too smart to be a woman." β
Hong comfortably leaned on Hu Wei's arms, and said dreamily: "A good woman should know when to be smart and when to be stupid." I guess, you need a smart woman right now. β
Hu Yu smiled bitterly: "I really can't say you, come on, my female military division, come and sue me now, what should General Ben do?"
Red said coquettishly: "I'm a little cold. β
Hu Wei took Hong's somewhat cold little hand, took her into his arms and said, "I know it's windy outside, so I don't have to wear more clothes." β
Red adjusted himself to a more comfortable position, and in a place where Hu Wei couldn't see, he secretly showed a pride that his plan had succeeded, and stuck out his little tongue. She seems to have thought that Hu Wei would do this, so she deliberately wore one less piece of clothing.
"How's it going, is it warmer?" asked Hu Wei as he buried his head in his red hair and breathed in the faint fragrance of his daughter. How could he not understand Hong's little bit of caution, he was just pretending to be stupid.
"It's so much warmer, it's like you're on a fire. Red smirked.
"Can you say that now?"
"Of course you can, but you have to tell you first, what were you thinking just now?"
"I've said I'm thinking about you. β
Hu Wei laughed a few more words with Hong, and then told SΓΉ Red about the things he was thinking about just now.
Red is the best listener, quietly listening to Hu Wei tell his opinions, and listening carefully to every word. It wasn't until Hu Wei finished speaking that she spoke: "I agree with your opinion very much, but in some aspects, you are too pessimistic."
Yes, the combat power of the Imperial Team is indeed much weaker than it was thirty-eight years ago. But in my opinion, this is not a problem for the soldiers, as you have seen in the previous battle in the valley, the soldiers still have the ability, the courage, and the courage to win. β
Speaking of this, Hong sighed, and then said: "Now our biggest problem is in command and system.
Let's talk about the command first, Marshal Ximen Yufeng is a military genius, and she has strong abilities. However, she now lacks a large number of middle- and lower-level generals who are capable of carrying out the plan. The empire has not had a major war for thirty-eight years, which is a blessing for the empire, but it is also unfortunate.
Thirty-eight years of peaceful life have made our commanders at all levels too unfamiliar with the battlefield. If you don't practice boxing for a day, let alone a general who has never been on the battlefield. They also need a process of adapting to the battlefield. β
Hu Wei said with some bitterness: "This process of adaptation requires more blood to be shed and more soldiers' lives to be sacrificed. β
After all, Hu Wei is a person from a civilized society, although he understands these truths, but whenever he talks about it, he always feels full of thoughts. There is always a soft place in his heart.
Hu Wei thinks that he is not a woman's benevolence, and he constantly instills in himself the truth that compassion does not support soldiers, and righteousness does not support wealth. He will also make some ruthless decisions for the sake of victory. But no one knew that in the dead of night, as soon as he closed his eyes, the figures of the fallen soldiers beside him would appear in his mind.
Sometimes Hu Wei will laugh at himself, he is a good person with a pile of bad people. He is lustful, but he can't use the power in his hands to play with his female soldiers like other generals. He loves money, but he can't do it to exploit the soldiers' food for his own money. He is eager to make meritorious contributions, but he can't be like Qin Ming, who treats the lives of soldiers as nothing.
Hong seemed to be able to feel the bitterness in Hu Wei's heart, she hugged Hu Wei with her backhand and comforted: "This is also a helpless thing." This is the law of survival in this world. β
Hu Wei let out a sigh of relief, cheered up and said, "The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, I understand." Analyze the system for me again. β
Hong turned around and said to Hu Wei: "The problem of the system, in fact, you should know better than me. In your past remarks, it has been mentioned from time to time, so it is better for you to sue me. β
"Okay, then I'll talk about it. Hu Wei sorted it out in his mind and said: "Let's not talk about political affairs first, just talk about military affairs." The battle between the legions and the local garrisons, the battle of the five legions, and the "
As Hu Wei was talking, a soldier ran over to report that Zhu Daneng and Harrison had returned to the camp and were now waiting for Hu Wei in the military tent.
Hu Wei and Hong glanced at each other, ended the conversation, and immediately rushed back to the military tent. Whether it is a question of command or a question of system, survival is the biggest issue. Now the army of Anrong people is surrounded at the foot of the mountain, and they may attack at any time, and their lives are in danger. If you have a life, you can think about more things, and if your life is gone, then you don't have to think about anything.
"Adult"
"Adult"
Zhu Daneng and Harrison saw Hu Wei and Hong coming in, and immediately saluted. The uniforms of the two men were tattered, and in some places even strips of cloth. It seems that this road is not so smooth.
Hu Wei waved his hand and said: "The military situation is urgent, don't talk about this." Tell me what you've discovered."
Harrison and Zhu Daneng glanced at each other, and Zhu Daneng stepped forward and replied, "My lord, Harrison and I have found a path that can climb over this mountain and get out of the battlefield here. β
When Hu Wei heard the news, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Tell me quickly, what kind of road it is." Will the people of Anrong know that there is such a way? β
Zhu Daneng hesitated for a moment and said: "Anrong people shouldn't know that there is such a road, because strictly speaking, it is not a road. β
Hu Wei frowned and said, "What do you say?"
Zhu Daneng explained: "Your Excellency should still remember the road we walked when we encountered a natural disaster in Dingsi. The road Harrison and I found was more than ten times more dangerous than that. You can only move over the cliff alone. Especially in the second half, if you are not careful, you will die. Harrison and I almost fell off before, so we got it like this. β
Only then did Hu Wei notice that one of Harrison's arms was hanging, obviously broken.
"Red, treat Harrison's injuries, Zhu Daneng, you go on. Let's be more careful, where is this road located, and how difficult it is to walk. β
After listening to Zhu Daneng's narration, Hu Wu's heart was half cold. It turned out that this road was discovered by Zhu Daneng and Harrison by accident. Before, Hu Wei asked Harrison and Zhu Daneng to act separately, but there were only a few places where there might be roads on the mountain, and in the end, the two of them inevitably ran into each other.
The two exchanged information only to find out that no one had found a way. The two were unwilling to come back and report like this, and decided to put together and look at all possible places again. Later, Zhu Daneng accidentally discovered that there was a vine plant growing on the edge of the cliff, which grew around the mountain and looked quite strong. He tried to crawl over. Only then did I discover the road that was not a road.
Speaking of which, the road is nothing more than a circle of wooden vines growing on the edge of a cliff. No one knows how long they can hold out and how many people they can get through. In general, one but the vine is broken, and that is a dead end. Harrison just stepped on a heel of vines, didn't lose his life, only broke his hand, and counted him lucky.
Hu Wei doesn't need to go to the ground to see, just think about it with his brain, and he can know how dangerous this road is. And with those vines, it is absolutely impossible to pass tens of thousands of people. Not to mention that it is just a tree vine, even if it is made of cement, it can't withstand tens of thousands of people stepping on it.
"Alright, you two go and rest first. β
After sending Zhu Daneng and Harrison away, Hu Wei fell into deep thought. Hong sat quietly beside Hu Wei, with her woman's unique intuition, she knew that Hu Wei must be calculating something at this time.
Chen Yichi didn't fall asleep at this time, and now in this situation, where can he sleep. He wasn't worried about what the battle would turn out of, he was worried about whether he would get out of this hellish place alive.
After knowing that the Anrong people had besieged them here, Chen Yichi immediately sent his cronies to find another way out. However, the return of his cronies made him very disappointed. There is no way out.
Chen Yichi was born in a famous family, and after being a nobleman, this time he saw an army of 360,000 and attacked Anrong, which had a great chance of winning. But who would have thought that the development of things would be like this.
Now that he is besieged by the Anrong people, the food and grass supplies were lost when he was attacked before, and seeing that his life is in danger, how much he regrets joining the troops of Anrong in the northern expedition, how can he still sleep.
The more Chen Yichi thought about it, the more he regretted it, the more he thought about it, the more he hated it, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but hate Hu Worry. In his opinion, if it wasn't for Hu You's choice of the wrong place to block, how could he be besieged here now.
Chen Yichi and Ben never thought that if it weren't for Hu Wei leading the vanguard army to set up a blocking array here, helping them withstand the attack of the Anrong people, and fighting for a chance for the Fifth Route Army to reorganize, he might have become a ghost under the knife of the Anrong people, how could he have time to complain here.
"Newspaper. β
A relative saw that Chen Yi had not slept for a long time and walked into the military tent.
"Did the Anrong people attack?" asked Chen Yichi with some change of color. He is now most afraid of his own soldiers reporting the incident.
The soldiers replied: "Go back to the city to guard the lord, it is Hu Weidu who is coming, and he said that he has something important to ask to see." β
When Chen Yichi heard Hu Wei's name, he felt unhappy, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter with him." β
The soldiers saw that Chen Yichi's tone was not very good, and knew that Chen Yichi must have a problem with Hu Wei, so in his tone, he said to Hu Wei with little respect: "He refused to say it, saying that he had some confidential information and wanted to report it to you." β
Chen Yichi didn't want to see Hu Wei, but thinking about it, now that he is in danger, maybe Hu Wei really has something important to report. If it is delayed, if it is not done well, it will harm his own life, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "Let him in." β
"Yes. β
The pro-soldiers withdrew, and after a while, they led Hu Wei into the military tent.
"The last general is worried, and I have seen the city guard. β
"Hmm. Chen Yichi glanced at Hu Wei coldly, and did not ask him to get up, and asked in a salty and indifferent manner: "Hu Youdu will ask to see him late at night, I don't know what is going on?"
Hu Wei sneered in his heart, still respectful, as if it should have been like this: "Returning to the city to guard the lord, when the last general's subordinates were searching, they accidentally found a path that could avoid the Anrong people. The last general felt that the matter was important, so he immediately came to report to the castle guard. β
"Xiaolu" Chen Yichi heard this, sat up straight, and an excited smile appeared on his face, he saw the way out. Chen Yichi's attitude was a 180-degree change, and he personally ran over to help Hu Wei: "Oh, Hu Youdu will be invited to get up quickly." Come to people, watch and sit, serve tea.
General Hu Wei, tell Ben what kind of path it is and where it is. β
