Chapter 59: The Game
The lights in the Xinghai camp were bright, and the Hua Qiong Protector and Elder Xuanliu had already informed Lu Xingyu of the destruction of the Jiatong Mountain granary. In addition to the three people in the camp, there were also two elders of Heihe Yanyun who rushed to hear the news, and Lu Tianzhang, who had been following Lu Xingyu since he escaped from Jiangzhou City.
"Ahem, sect leader, I don't want that fish and crane double absolute bell flying dragon and divine fire flying crow Wang Lianjiang are also in this group of people. His subordinates are no match for the two. It was Hua Qiong who spoke, seeing that she was pale, and covered her mouth several times when she spoke, coughing up blood, obviously caused by internal injuries.
"Hmph, this hero's post is complete, and even these two old immortals have been brought. "Xuanliu is obviously talking to Lu Tianzhang, which means that if you didn't draw snakes and add enough snakes, you would have to hold some kind of all-in-one hero conference, I'm afraid that this Jiangzhou City would have already become in our pocket.
Lu Tianzhang heard the meaning of his words, and was angry, so he bowed his hand to Lu Xingyu and asked for his life: "Sect Master, the defense in Jiangzhou City is already empty, and today's battle has greatly damaged their vitality. I am willing to lead a team of men and horses as a vanguard, and I will be able to capture Jiangzhou City early tomorrow morning. ”
Lu Xingyu put his hands behind his back, turned his back to everyone, and never said a word.
Seeing this, Yanyun waved his hand and said: "That's it, there are masters in Jiangzhou City, and such a hidden grain route as Jiatong Mountain can be captured by him, which shows that he has a lot of experience in the strategy of marching troops." ”
"Even if he is Jiang Ting, what can he do? It is an indisputable fact that Jiangzhou City is easy to attack and difficult to defend, if our army attacks with ten times or even a hundred times its strength, I don't believe that Jiangzhou City can still be defended!" Lu Tianzhang completely ignored Yanyun's words, and only felt that a strong attack was the best strategy at present.
Yanyun brushed aside half of his long hair, looked at Lu Tianzhang and laughed a few times: "Master Lu doesn't know how to use soldiers, I won't tell you this, you just need to know that now that our army has lost food and grass, the morale of the army has plummeted, and a strong attack will only allow them to seize the opportunity to counterattack." In my opinion, it is better for our army to temporarily retreat to Zitong, where there are enough military supplies to maintain our army. Then we will urgently raise grain and grass from all over the country, and then we will seize Jiangzhou City when the grain and grass are ready, and Jiangzhou City will still be in our pocket. ”
"I only know that the soldiers are fast and vigorous. Lu Tianzhang snorted.
"The leader of the Lu League is a small family and does not know the essence of strategy. Smoke Cloud said and grinned at him.
"Enough!" Lu Xingyu broke off, and the camp instantly fell silent.
"Yanyun, if our army retreats to Zitong, how many days can we raise all the grain and grass?" Lu Xingyu stroked his long hair, and all the questions he asked were crucial.
"Half a month if it's fast, two months if it's slow. Yanyun knew that he was anxious and wanted to quickly capture Jiangzhou City, but this was the case, so he could only answer truthfully.
"It's too slow, I have an appointment with my master first. It is necessary to conquer Bashu for a period of one year, and then he and the Demon Son of Heaven led the demon army from the three passes out of Youzhou, and our army hit Zhongzhou, and directly took the royal city. Now that the year is approaching, how can little Jiangzhou stop me from making a big plan?" With that, he waved his hand and held back the smoke cloud that was about to speak. Immediately said to Xuanliu and Hua Qiong: "Tomorrow Sanniang, Xuanliu and the two of you, lead three thousand troops to the south gate, wait for three thunderstorms to sound, and lead the army to attack the city." ”
"Yanyun, Heihe, the two of you will lead a thousand troops tomorrow, ambush outside the north gate, and when the cannon sounds, you only need to beat the drum and shout, and feint. The two of them glanced at each other, and then ordered the leader.
Lu Xingyu arranged this way, which was intended to divide the defensive forces in Jiangzhou City.
In the end, he set his eyes on Lu Tianzhang, stroked his beard and said: "Lu Tianzhang, since you are so confident in capturing Jiangzhou, then I will allocate your 5,000 elite soldiers to fire artillery early tomorrow morning to capture the West Gate." ”
"Obey the sect master's orders!" Lu Tianzhang had long wanted to show his strength, but seeing Lu Xingyu's arrangement, he obviously intended to give himself a chance to perform, so he immediately agreed and shouted.
"You guys go down first!" Lu Xingyu flicked the sleeves of his robe, and everyone withdrew from the camp together.
The lights in the camp in Jiangzhou City were also not extinguished all night, Mo Yiyue sat in front of the table and gently put away the bamboo calculation chips.
The sky was about to dawn, Mo Yiyue walked out of the camp, and the white sky with the fish's belly reflected the sun and the moon, dispelling the heavy dark blue.
An eagle roared for a long time, Mo Yiyue raised her eyes and looked, a goshawk hovering in the sky, with a terrible cry.
Mo Yiyue shook her head helplessly, and then fell her gaze back to the front, but saw that Ding Moshi was hugging the two Mu Yuncheng Chu Shui Ballad on the picture scroll in turn.
One is unclothed, and the other is blood-stained.
"What's wrong with them!" Looking at the sleeping two, Mo Yiyue asked in surprise.
Ding Moshi shook his head and said, "I found them by the stream and brought them back, and I don't know what happened in the meantime." By the way, have Brother Zhong and Brother Lianjiang Dao ever returned?"
"I never came back. Mo Yiyue summoned the guards and handed over Mu Yuncheng and Chu Shui Yu to them, so that they could find a place to settle down.
"Elder Ding, how was the task completed last night?" Mo Yiyue walked into the tent and turned to ask Ding Moshi.
Ding Moshi nodded and said, "I see the panicked appearance of the guards everywhere in the mountain, and it is estimated that the three granaries should all be burned out. ”
While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside the tent.
"What about Mu Jiawa'er? I brought him this sword. With that, a pair of blades were thrown in from outside the tent.
But it is the sword and Taiyi dragon pattern, but the luster is much dimmer as before.
Then Zhong Feilong and Wang Lianjiang opened the curtain of the big tent and strode in.
Mo Yiyue bowed to the two of them, and replied to Zhong Feilong's question before: "Yun Cheng is physically exhausted, and he is resting in the camp at the moment. ”
"Tell him that I avenged him, and Hua Qiong's mother-in-law was beaten away by me. Zhong Feilong stroked his big white beard and said with a smile.
Mo Yiyue nodded with a smile when she heard this, stood in front of the table, spread out the drawings, and replied to the three of them: "They burned the grain and grass of the Star Navy last night, and they will definitely launch a fierce counterattack today." However, our current garrison is less than 1,000, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
"Hehe, it's not that it's not optimistic, but it's like a tired egg and it's precarious. Ding Moshi also smiled calmly from the side.
"The West Gate is its main attack, and the direction of attack will not change, but I estimate that the offensive of the North and South Gate will change. Mo Yiyue frowned slightly, and analyzed the drawings on the table: "If it is a master using soldiers, there must be an enemy army in the north and south gates for feints. Cooperate with the direction of the main attack and disperse the defending forces. The south gate is narrow, and it is not as open as the north gate, so it is the most suitable target for feints. But Lu Xingyu is not an ordinary person, the art of war is real, and the real is virtual, so I expect that he will change the north gate to a feint, and take the south gate as the target of attack. ”
The three of them nodded in unison when they heard this, and sighed that Mo Yiyue was extremely intelligent.
"Ding Lao, Zhong Lao, Wang Lao. Mo Yiyue bowed to the three of them and said, "I will put most of the flags on the north gate and arrange suspicious soldiers." At that time, we will ask three of us to assist us in guarding the south gate. ”
"That's easy to say. The three of them agreed and didn't say too much.
And Mo Yiyue didn't stop all night, and suddenly felt a little dizzy at this moment, and his body shook and almost couldn't stand, but fortunately, Ding Moshi helped him from the side and persuaded: "Little Brother Mo, you have to pay attention to your body and don't work too hard." Why don't you go to the back tent and take a nap for a while, and the three of us will keep an eye on you here. ”
Mo Yiyue stroked her forehead, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the three of them have been busy all night, and Yiyue doesn't dare to slack off and let everyone down." As long as we survive today, the initiative will be transferred to us. ”
The three of them sighed when they heard this, but they were worried about Mo Yiyue's body.
A rush of footsteps accompanied by the frequent dragging of armor came from outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted and the deputy came in.
"The Xinghai army is assembled outside the West Gate, I'm afraid it's going to attack the city again. ”
Mo Yiyue stood up unhurriedly after hearing this, and said calmly to everyone: "Let's go up to the city wall first." ”
