Chapter 996: Preparation for the showdown
Qian Hetian also frowned, thought for a while and said: "Third master, I always feel that this good news is a bit weird, and it is very suspicious of exaggerating the great feats. ”
When King Yelan heard this, he quickly interjected: "My lord, absolutely not. The general who commanded the army this time was the younger brother of my confidant General Xirong Zhan, and others might boast about his great military exploits, but he would never do so. ”
Qian Hetian was about to ridicule each other, but was stopped by Kong Sanye's eyes.
Kong Sanye smiled and said, "King Yelan, your troops have won the first battle, which is really gratifying." Don't worry, I will take your credit to heart, and I also remember my promise that the losses you have suffered will definitely compensate you tenfold, or even a hundredfold. Okay, let's go and arrange to reward the soldiers ahead. ”
After King Yelan left, Qianhetian asked, "Third Master, do you really believe what King Yelan said?"
Kong Sanye snorted and said, "Letter, that's hell." You also know how terrible Qin Ning is, the 200,000 army of the Yelan King may be able to kill him by surprise, but if he is resisted by the other party and counterattacks, the Yelan King's army will definitely be defeated. ”
Judging from the results of the report, under the bombardment of the vehicle-mounted heavy artillery, the army almost attacked the hinterland of Lingtu City, which should not be fake, after all, this thing can be seen at a glance, and no one dares to lie. However, the heavy artillery battalion was destroyed, and the soldiers fought bloodily. Obviously, he was rushed out by the other party's counter-assault, but he was ashamed to say this!"
There are some things that don't stand up to scrutiny. Anyone who is familiar with military affairs knows that when the ground forces attack the edge of the hinterland of the city, the heavy artillery battalion must be between the forward troops and the second echelon troops.
According to the configuration of 200,000 troops. The forward troops should be in the tens of thousands, and the number of the second echelon should be around 100,000. Under such close protection, the heavy artillery battalion was actually destroyed. Unless you are a brain-dead person, you can't see it. That must be the army that has suffered heavy losses, and even the heavy artillery has no time to protect and run, and there can still be soldiers who bravely protect the heavy artillery?
Seeing that Qianhetian was indignant, Kong Sanye smiled and said, "Qianhetian, don't be so excited. There are some subordinates of the Yelan King who exaggerate their military exploits, but the achievements they have achieved should not be underestimated. ”
Qian Hetian was still a little angry and said, "Third Master, do you want to let them fool us?"
"If we don't know, we've been fooled. If we know and don't tell the truth, how can we be fooled? The west city of Lingtu City was destroyed, and it was almost a flat river. From this point of view, the army of the Yelan King can be regarded as a great achievement. You say, will Qin Ning give up the stronghold of Lingtu City?"
Qian Hetian suddenly realized: "Third Master, what do you mean to force Qin Ning to make a statement here in Lingtu City?"
"Yes, Lingtu City is the core of the Qin army in the Abyss Empire, and its significance is not as simple as a city. I think if we press a large number of troops up, Qin Ning will be destroyed even in the city. If the troops are insufficient, they will also fight with us. ”
"Third master, then I'll go and inform the second prince, the southern king and the Zhenyuan king, these forces should send troops quickly. ”
"Hmm. It's time for a fight, too. Putting aside the victory or defeat of this battle, as long as it can involve Qin Ning's energy, it is enough. Qianhetian, dealing with these people in the Xiuzhen Continent. Don't think it's forceful, remember to be gracious. Equip them, give them fantasies. This will make them willing to pay for their blood. ”
Qian Hetian agreed, and immediately contacted all parties with communication equipment, and sternly told all parties that all parties must gather 200,000 troops and immediately assemble near the strength of the Qin army near the Yelan King.
All the forces have been beaten by Qianhetian, and no one wants to wade into this troubled water, but for the sake of their own lives and status, they dare not slack off in the slightest, and immediately assemble enough troops in accordance with Qianhetian's orders, and quickly go to the designated place.
Qian Hetian secretly observed these large armies, the second prince, the army of the king of the south still has the appearance of a regular army, and the army of the king of Zhenyuan is simply a rabble. Let's not talk about military appearance and military discipline, even the clothes on the body are extremely inconsistent. Some are dressed in armor, while others are dressed in half-military uniforms and half-common people.
What's more, wearing a short shirt in a strong suit, he talked and laughed insolently during the march.
Qian Hetian told Kong Sanye what he had seen, and his mental head was almost lowered to the freezing point.
Lan Jue smiled helplessly: "Qianhetian, I didn't expect you to be worse than me. Two days ago, I went to urge King Yelan to send troops, and I almost got half angry, but I didn't expect what you saw and heard to be even more appalling than mine. ”
Kong Sanye was not as depressed as these two people, and said with a sigh of relief: "As long as you can get all the people." Lan Jue, Qianhetian, what do you think these guys can do? If there is a decent army under his hands, he will be bullied so badly by Qin Ning?"
Lan Jue smiled bitterly: "Yes, we probably asked these people according to our requirements." Third master, the people are all together, should we just let these people go to the battlefield?"
"Ahem, it's better to tidy up a little, smash the equipment, let the Yelan King get all the equipment together, and then send them to the battlefield when all these people are armed." Kong Sanye also has a bit of a headache, these forces make him a little crazy, but now he can only get ducks on the shelves.
Qian Hetian was a little embarrassed: "Third Master, will King Yelan cooperate? Let him bleed like this, even if he doesn't dare to refute it openly, he can't stand it if he is passive and slack." ”
"It doesn't matter, if you take Lingtu City this time and give him the territory, those armies will be equipped, and they won't say anything. ”
Qian Hetian went out to inform King Yelan, Lan Jue was still a little worried, and asked, "Third Master, use such a force to deal with Qin Ning, this, is this reliable?"
Kong Sanye said helplessly: "Of course it's unreliable, if you pull the troops over like this, don't look at the number of people, as long as Qin Ning defeats one, the rest of the people will fall apart." But we also have a way to strengthen it, otherwise, the team we worked hard to get will be defeated by Qin Ningqing, and that will be more than worth the loss. ”
Lan Jue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Third Master, what are your plans?"
"Lan Jue, do you remember the Golden Peak Piercing Bone Formation?"
"Ah, the third master originally planned to do so. Well, if the army were supplemented by such a formation, the situation would be greatly improved. Yes, this can make up for some of the army's problems, but if you want to win, it is not so tolerated. ”
"It's not easy to win, but we have other tricks. The forces of the Xiongshui Clan and the Snake Clan should also move, in addition, we have to transfer a secret army, Qin Ning is facing so many troops, even if he has the power to return to the sky, he can only sigh in vain. When Kong Sanye said this, his face was not without a smile.
Lan Jue thought for a moment and said, "Secret Army, does the third master refer to the Kraken clan?"
"Yes, it's time to get all your hole cards out. For us, the matter has dragged on for too long, and the sooner it is resolved, we should go back sooner to resume our lives. ”
Lan Jue nodded, discussed the specific steps with Kong Sanye, and went down to prepare for various tasks.
At this time, Qin Ning was sitting in Lingtu City, facing various battle reports flying like snowflakes, doing detailed analysis. The second prince, the king of the south and the king of Zhenyuan, mobilized troops over, which Qin Ning had long expected.
What Qin Ning couldn't figure out was that these troops actually stopped and gathered in the territory of the Yelan King, and there was no movement. According to his own prediction, the west gate of Lingtu City no longer has any geographical advantages, Kong Sanye should attack themselves immediately after they gather a large army, what does it mean to stand still?
Mu Xiongtian wanted to lead his troops to drive away the Xirong Po army outside Lingtu City, but Qin Ning vetoed the idea. This is not to interfere with Mu Xiongtian's command, but Qin Ning has to consider it as a whole.
If the army of Xijon is defeated, it will certainly be a living force that can hurt the enemy. However, this will inevitably break the enemy's strategic deployment, so that the strategic intention of allowing the enemy to gather in Lingtu City and annihilate it in one fell swoop cannot be realized.
According to intelligence, the enemy is now updating and strengthening the combat equipment of individual soldiers, and it has also strengthened the equipment with heavy firepower. This can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, but the intelligence also shows that these troops are free and scattered, and there is no military discipline prohibited by regular military orders at all, such troops, even if they upgrade their equipment, are not at the same level as the Qin army.
Qin Ning has always been concerned about the number of troops gathered by all forces, according to Qin Ning's estimate, even if Kong Sanye can't draw manpower from the Abyss Empire, he should also allocate the necessary manpower in other places to form a numerical advantage against himself.
But the number of troops on the other side is not the same, that is, the army of 600,000. Could it be that Kong Sanye thinks that he can defeat himself by relying on this rabble of 600,000?
The strength of the Qin army of the Abyss Empire is no secret, even if it doesn't need to be scouted, it is generally guessed. Kong Sanye should be able to calculate that Lingtu City can gather 600,000 to 700,000 troops at most, would he be stupid enough to send the same number of troops to fight him?
Kong Sanye left a very deep impression on Qin Ning, this person has a high level of cultivation and excellent resourcefulness. His arrangement must have a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Qin Ning called Qiu Wenhe over, and asked Qiu Wenhe to send out a large number of investigators, as long as it is a place where a large number of troops can be gathered in a short period of time, regardless of friend or foe, it is necessary to conduct close surveillance.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
Sometimes, the enemy is not terrible, and if someone who neglects to stab him is the saddest thing that happens. (To be continued......)
