Chapter 058: The Thin West Mountain (Part II)
"Enough.wenxueMiM" Hu Wei shouted, "See for yourself what you are now, not only do you not look like a soldier, you don't look like a man."
Are you so worthy of your dead brothers?"
"Run, is it shameful to run? We're retreating, retreating!
The retreat was to find a better time to fight. Anrong people are now powerful, what should we do if we don't avoid their edge? Anrong has now mobilized 200,000 troops, how many people do we have now? The entire Blizzard Army is only 200,000, and now less than half of them are in Qingzhou.
What are the consequences of rushing head-on? Do you think that we are all killed in battle, so we are called soldiers? Do you think that when we dig traps and break bridges along the way, we are not considered to resist the enemy? In vain, you are still a pawn army, not only do you not comfort the soldiers well, but you actually run here and cry like a girl?
Think about it for yourself. β
Hu Wei scolded all the time, and scolded Merck so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head. Hu Wei is right, now they have no way but to run.
But where to run, to be considered a head? Merck doesn't know, Hu Wei doesn't know, maybe Sumadam knows, or maybe the emperor who is high up in the sky knows.
On this day, Hu Wei finally received the news that the whole army had arrived and ordered the city to reorganize. Linggui is a large city in the northernmost part of Qingzhou, where the city is ten meters high, and it is a place where you can fight.
When Hu Wei came here, he learned that Sumatdal had evacuated all the active troops in Qingzhou, and issued an emergency conscription order in wartime, laying a defensive line in the two cities of Linggui and Dongdu, vowing to fight with Anrong.
Sumatar attached great importance to the order, deployed 80,000 troops, commanded by Sumatar himself, and the 50,000 soldiers led by Crespo, the deputy commander of the Du Du Army, became a situation at an angle, relying on each other, and did not allow Anrong to take another step.
130,000 against 200,000, there are two cities, and it seems that there is a fight. In fact. Sumentar now has no choice with Ben, whether he has to fight or not, he has to fight. Otherwise, if the Anrong people go further, they will reach Yangcheng. Yangcheng is the headquarters of the Blizzard Legion, and it is also the center of Qingzhou, where there is no danger to defend. Therefore, if the two cities of Linggui and Dongdu are broken, the entire Qingzhou will be over.
It was the time when the lights were first on and the night breeze was fluttering, which made the streets and alleys of the city full of murderous atmosphere, and the prosperity of the past, the tide of people, the colorful lights, the noisy gambling caves, and the fragrant green buildings were all replaced by groups of officers and soldiers who were nervously patrolling. The smile disappeared from people's faces, and all that remained in their eyes was the deep fear. The unknown war, like a big rock, weighs everyone down. The common people have long since run out, and now Ling Guigui is an empty city except for the 80,000 officers and soldiers of the Blizzard Legion.
Hu Wei, who was leading his soldiers to strengthen the city's defenses, received an order from the herald that the commander of the regiment, Sumendar, wanted to receive him. Hu Wei put down his work and followed the herald to the City Lord's Mansion, which is now the wartime temporary headquarters.
The guards in front of the city lord's mansion are like facing a great enemy, maybe in their eyes, everyone is like an Anrong person, and everyone may rush up at any time and give them a knife.
"They are mentally stressed. Hu Wei shook his head and thought to himself.
Not in the flower hall, Hu Wei was taken directly into the study by the head of the guard. Through the not-so-bright light, Hu Wei saw Sumentar behind the table. I haven't seen him for half a year, and the wrinkles on the old general's face seem to be more.
"The last general is worried, I have seen the captain of the legion. Hu Wei knelt down on one knee at the table and saluted Sumadar.
"Get up. Sumental put down the book in his hand. Hu Wei glanced at the title of the book, which was a history of the empire. Hu Wei had also read this book, but he didn't like it. Because the content of this book is even more false than what he said when he and his master walked the rivers and lakes to catch fat sheep. The book is full of praise for how powerful Rijkaard is and how strong the emperor team is. In the whole book, there is no record of defeat, as if the empire must win every battle.
"Huanglongdao battle, you did a good job, but that arrow, it's a pity. Sumental looked at Hu Wei and said.
"The last general is not good at learning and arts, and he has failed to live up to the love of the legion. Hu Wei stood up straight.
"Hahaha, Hu Wei, you are too humble. Five hundred steps away to take the eyes of the enemy generals, my Blizzard Legion of 200,000 people, and only you can do it, this is something to be proud of. Sumental affirmed.
"I've studied your defenses in Huanglong Dao and done a good job. It seems that you learned quite a bit at the Columbia Military Academy.
For Linggui, I would like to hear your opinion. β
"Legionnaire. Hu Wei looked at Sumandal in disbelief. The Blizzard Legion was higher in rank than him, and there were more veteran generals, and he didn't expect Sumendar to ask him.
Sumental said: "This time, our Blizzard Legion can no longer retreat, and the two cities of Linggui and Dongdu must not be lost again. I want to hear more opinions from all sides, so you can just say it boldly. β
There is one thing that Sumatar did not sue sΓΉ anyone. Emperor Valencia, the third emperor of the empire, had issued a secret decree that the day of the destruction of the city would be the death of Sumadar.
But there is one thing, even Sumental doesn't know, after Valencia gave him this order, he has secretly packed his things and prepared to secretly leave the imperial capital Dragon City and go to Phoenix City, the base camp of the Pink Army, to hide for a while. The vanguard of the Red Turban Army has already appeared in Tangchang. Although the city of Six David is still in his hands, although he still has 500,000 soldiers of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, he does not dare to stay in the imperial capital, he will die in battle, he is afraid!
Hu Wei considered the pros and cons of the gains and losses in his mind, and then said: "My lord, according to the last general, it is not possible for us to just defend the city. We must step up our defense in depth. β
"Oh, how do you strengthen the defense in depth, you go on. For the first time, Sumental got up from his chair.
"Your Excellency, please take a look. Hu Wei came to the map and said, "We are now in Linggui, and the west is Dongdu." The distance between Linggui and Dongdu is twenty kilometers. Presumably, the strategy of the adults is to form an angle between the two cities, and if Linggui is convicted, then he will send troops alone to fight the back road of the Anrong people, so that they will be attacked on both sides. If he is convicted, he will be ordered to send troops. β
Hu Wei pointed to the map and analyzed it little by little.
Sumentar nodded: "Yes, my purpose is to make them unable to take care of the end of the road, and consume them little by little." β
This is not a very esoteric strategy, and anyone with a little military knowledge can see that Sumathar has nothing to hide.
Hu Wei raised his head from the map, looked at Sumadar and said, "If the Anrong people directly build the military camp in the twenty-kilometer area between Linggui and Dongdu, then what does the army commander plan to do?"
"The Anrong people set up a military camp between the two cities?" Sumentar was stunned for a moment, he had never thought of such a question. The most important thing about camping is safety and stability, and who would put the camp within the attack range of the two cities?
"Yes, encamped between the two cities. Under normal circumstances, such a camp is a taboo for soldiers. But the current situation is not the same, Anrong marched 200,000 troops this time, which is higher than us in terms of total military strength. And there is another point, the Legion Commander must know better than the last general, the Anrong people really want to have a big battle with us.
Between Linggui and Dongdu, there is a place called Golden Bone Mountain, which is about ten kilometers away from Linggui and Dongdu. If An Rong is here to settle the palace, then the distance between them will be equal no matter which city they hit. As long as he left 50,000 troops in the camp, he could attack any city with twice the number of our army. β
Sumentar said: "And our defensive momentum will be self-defeating." Even if our two cities were to fight with all their might, they would be happy to fight us, what a terrible place. β
Hu Wei said so much, he wanted Sumatar himself to say the final result. After all, Hu Wei is just a small school captain, and he is weak, if Sumental feels that Hu Wei is controlling the situation, it will not be a good thing for Hu Wei. Although Hu Wei has read little, he also knows how Yang Xiu died.
When Hu Wei withdrew from the City Lord's Mansion, Sumatar was still pondering. He still had a lot to say in his heart, but it seemed that Sumatdarda had no intention of listening to it anymore.
Walking down the street, recalling the expression on Sumatra's face when he let him go, Hu Wei felt a lot of emotion. After thirty-eight years of peaceful life, it is not only the people who are intoxicated, but even the commander of the army has lost his decisiveness.
The Legion Elder is over.
