As early as three months ago, the middle, left, and right battalions, which were the main forces of the Southern Wu Army, had already come to the no-man's land on the west side of Mengle Mountain for training, focusing on offensive, defensive, and turning under the cover of the military formation.

Since the previous month, the Huaixian camp has also been transferred over and joined the drill together.

Under Gu Zuo's flying offensive, each team of the Southern Wu Army was equipped with a small magic formation, and after intensive drills, the cooperation between each team and the battle formation was quite proficient, waiting for the actual combat test.

The follow-up arrivals were the Black Mountain Battalion and the Tonghai Battalion, these two battalions did not carry out formal formation cooperation, they could only train their own team cooperation, Gu Zuo did not have so many magic formations for them, and there was no need, dare to charge, dare to hold on, this is Gu Zuo's requirement for them, as long as they do these two things, they can also be called elite divisions.

Gu Zuo's preparations were quite early, and it may even be earlier than the idea of using troops in Jiedu Mansion, according to the current situation, the reasons that finally prompted Xian Yu to decide to send troops were the promotion of the Qingcheng faction, the second was the softening of the Lishui edict, and the third was Duan Yinsheng's death after the failure of the impact on the refinement.

Therefore, it was impossible for Jiedu Mansion to expect that Gu Zuohui would start preparing for the battle so early, and it was even more unknown that the main force of the Southern Wu Army was hidden in the west of Mengle Mountain.

Since yesterday, the battalions, under the cover of night, have separately entered the previously selected caves, a stone's throw from the battlefield.

The gourd road in the middle of the valley is the preset main battlefield, and the cliff on the west side of the gourd road and the exit on the south side are each set up with a Tiandu array to ensure that the Yizhou army cannot escape from these two sides. It takes three hours for these two Heavenly Capital Arrays to be activated, and they can be opened in advance.

On the cliff to the east, Gu Zuo was going to place the Huaixian Camp here, and their training for the past two months was focused on defense. Although there is no Tiandu Array, the terrain of the East Cliff is dangerous, and it is difficult to attack, and the Huaixian Battalion is stationed here, with the Liangyi Sword Light Array, which is not a big problem, and Gu Zuo also plans to deploy the two hundred monks of the Lishui Battalion who arrived later to strengthen the defense.

The most test of the Southern Wu Army is the north entrance of the gourd road, the Yizhou army must be put into the gourd road, in order to start the three-element pole true magic array sealing, it takes an hour to start to complete, during this time, the Yizhou army is bound to frantically compete for the loop, the Southern Wu army must be here for an hour, and the three-element pole true magic array is officially opened.

If you resist it, this battle can be over, and if you can't withstand it, the battle behind it will be difficult to fight.

On the third day after Gu Zuo arrived at Mengle Mountain, the Yizhou army finally finished repairing in Longhe City and set off again. In the evening, the army came to Quyi, and the striker Li Zhenyuan replied: "Father, the camp has been set up." ”

Li Mi said: "How many times have you said that people are in the army, according to the rules of the army, there is no father here." ”

Li Zhenyuan hurriedly changed his words: "Marshal, are you urging the army to enter the camp for preparation?"

Li Mi nodded: "Order to enter the camp." ”

Half an hour later, the regimental training envoy in charge of commanding the rear army He Luguang entered the post station, and Li Mi asked, "Is the grain and grass all right?"

He Luguang responded: "Don't worry, everything is fine." After more than a month of marching, the initial results have been achieved, and today the army has walked forty miles and the army is not chaotic, and the soldiers and horses have made the army well-governed!"

Li Mi shook his head and said: "It's only forty miles a day, it's still slow, if it's in the Central Plains, sixty miles is barely enough." ”

He Luguang said: "Jiannan is not better than the Central Plains, there are many mountains and forests and valleys, moreover, Yizhou soldiers and horses have not been trained for 50 years, it is not easy to walk forty miles, why be demanding, you see the Southern Wu anti-thief, much slower than us, so far just crossed the Qianglang River, built a bridge for three days and has not been built, I heard the horse report, Mojiang is only more than ten zhang wide, their bridge has collapsed three times, hehe, after all, it is a thief, but so. ”

Li Mi said: "The Mojiang River is urgent, the cliffs on both sides of the river are high, the terrain is steep, and it is difficult to build bridges, but we can't underestimate the combat strength of the thief army. ”

He Luguang smiled and didn't speak, Li Mi has always been cautious, it is useless to say more, there is no need to raise the bar with his own master.

Li Mi said again: "Junfu, I have been thinking all the way today, the thief army is about to start a war with us in Weiyuan (read the book and go to clewx.-com). ”

He Luguang agreed, and the military situation at the front continued to report, and all signs showed that the rebels of Southern Wu were going to enter Weiyuan in order to resist the heavenly soldiers.

Li Mi took out the map and said: "The Qingcheng faction sent a message, our original understanding of the Southern Wu thieves is still missing, they have more than one three-element extreme true magic array in their hands, in fact, it should be two, this spring, Gu Zuo Xiao'er entered Beijing, and the Huashan Xixuan faction sold him a second one." I think that the reason why he dared to leave Southern Wuzhou and march into Weiyuan should be to rely on this big array. Although we are not afraid, if we collide headlong, the casualties of the soldiers will be large. ”

He Luguang nodded: "The general thinks to the point...... Xia Guan is willing to raise a brigade of elite soldiers, day and night, to seize Weiyuan, and he will take Weiyuan before his main force!"

Li Mi said: "It's not necessary, I plan to change the strategy of using troops." Junfu led the troops to protect the grain and grass, and still marched according to the original road, going straight to Weiyuan, but it should be noted that there is no need to be in a hurry, and let the Southern Wu thieves enter the city first. After the Southern Wu thieves entered the city, they surrounded Weiyuan, only feints, not hard fights. I led 3,000 troops around Moshan, went straight to the Qianglang River, and started from behind the Southern Wu thieves......"

As he spoke, Li Mi slammed his fist on a certain position on the map: "...... Capture the county town of Montenegro!"

He Luguang's eyes lit up, and he praised: "The general's clever plan! In this way, the Southern Wu thieves will be attacked by the enemy on their backs, and they will lose their ground in advancing and retreating, and it will be difficult to break up." After thinking about it, he said: "It's just that this road is not very easy to walk, and the people from the Qingcheng faction said that not only is it more than a hundred miles around, but it is also a small road and a mountain road, and it is difficult for the army to walk." ”

Li Mi said: "I plan to move forward lightly, without baggage and people, the danger is a little more dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity for military training." ”

He Luguang asked again: "This road must pass through the Luofu edict, and the Jiedu Mansion has promised the Luofu faction, and the army will not borrow their territory." ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "The army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the three armies are moving, so why should they stick to any promises? And when I march, it is not a big problem not to disturb the place. When Luo Fuzhao went to reason with Jiedu Mansion, I finished the battle, and let Jiedu Mansion have a headache. If there is any punishment, I will bear it!"

He Luguang nodded and said, "In that case, the subordinate and the general will share it!"

He looked down at Yutu and said: "The general's light troops are attacking, I should fight steadily, build a grain platform in Shisang Void, build a grain platform in Mengle Mountain, and after the army arrives near Weiyuan, it will be stationed in Tongjing River." ”

Li Mi looked at the picture for a while and nodded in agreement: "Yes." To camp in Tongjingchuan, it is necessary to build garrisons on both sides of the river, and not all of them can cross the river. ”

After thinking about it, he told again: "Don't take the sergeant up to the enemy's large formation, try to avoid casualties." Junfu, the Tang Dynasty has shown chaos, and if there are soldiers in hand, the court will have to rely on it in the future. ”
