Chapter 350: The Storm Rises Again
As Chen Xikang himself said, he is now pressed for time, so after staying in front of Longhu Mountain for a total of five days, he also went down the mountain and left, but this time Chen Xikang did not go back to Mupingzhong, but went to Pingxiang alone, and at this time in Pingxiang, when Chen Xikang also appeared, everything was ready, that is, Lu Donkey, who also brought a whole 20,000 troops to participate in the battle, of which 5,000 were all crossbow machine battalions!
Not only that, but Lu Donkey also brought a full hundred siege crossbows!
Everything is ready to go, and the West is determined to win Luo Jing, but before that, several people in Pingxiang don't know that the people who appear in Luo Jing will make them feel like they are facing a great enemy!
After so many days, the Han Emperor and the Prime Minister, who had previously set out from Chang'an, had arrived in Yanjing and Luojing respectively.
When the competition between Zhao Kexuan and Hongdou in the western Muping attracted everyone's hearts, in Pingxiang, Chen Xikang, Wang Ma and Lu Donkey had already set off from Pingxiang with a full army of 70,000.
In the middle of the army, when looking at the golden back in front of him from a long distance and the camp he belonged to, Xiahou Zicong, who had just joined the army of the Inverted Sword Banner, also showed awe.
In the past, it was rumored that King Chen of the Western Regions had a brave posture like a general of Tiance, but now although he has not seen him in battle, just the golden back with mottled traces is enough to make countless people disappear the fear and anxiety in their hearts!
At this time, Xiahouzi looked at Qianfan with awe in his eyes from Duan Jing beside him, and his heart was full of thoughts. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that this Shenwei general was still a gentleman who was spurned and insulted by the people of the world two and a half years ago?
After the army set out, it took less than a day to reach the outside of Los Angeles, but in order to adjust the state, the army did not attack the city as soon as possible. Moreover, even if it is not to adjust the state, Chen Xikang still has a lot of things to do, and the first thing to do is to investigate the natural fortress before Los Angeles according to the intelligence obtained.
When twilight fell, in the camp camp with an orderly big sword, Wang Ma came back with a small team of people, and at this time, Chen Xikang was guessing all the means that Chu Hanmo might use in the camp tent.
"Xikang, sure enough, you guessed it. The flow of the downstream of the rich water is obviously much smaller, as for the upstream, it has been built and impounded, and there are about a thousand troops to defend it, if we rashly attack the city, once the upstream flood is discharged, our army is an ant crossing the river, and it will be washed away by the water. ”
"Storing water and using it, this Chu Hanmo is worthy of being cunning, fortunately, I took a look at it in advance, otherwise I would not have to die when attacking the city, and the enemy's city walls have not yet been touched, so I took a big heel in the eyes of the enemy. ”
Hearing Wang Ma's words, when Lu Donkey's eyes lit up, he also said happily that he really didn't expect to use rich water to do things, after all, the water flow in rich water is not large, so he doesn't use it easily.
"With this Chu Hanmo's mind, at this time, the city and outside of Los Angeles are already impregnable, and if we want to gnaw this hard bone, we have to come little by little. An army of about 1,000 is enough for Second Brother Wang's army of 300, right?"
"Enough, will you go tonight or tomorrow morning?"
"Let's go tonight, we have to go to the customs tomorrow, after all, what kind of means Chu Hanmo has, if he just waits and sees from across the city, he can't see anything. ”
"Well, I'll go and assassinate the enemy troops upstream overnight, and then release the stored water in advance. ”
"We don't need to be waterproof, just eradicate the enemy troops who are guarding there, and the stored water may not be tender for our use. Hearing Second Brother Wang's words, Chen Xikang refuted his behavior of waterproofing in advance.
For the battle of Los Angeles, now that he doesn't know anything about the enemy, Chen Xikang is still worried in his heart. And attacking Los Angeles, it is not certain whether it can win, but even if it can win, I feel that it will not be as easy to win as before, just in case, the army of the western region will be calculated by the surprise of the city, and then he can also use the rich water to break the queen.
After listening to Xikang's words beside him, after thinking about it, Lu Donkey probably guessed the intention in his heart.
To win the battle, the combat power of the army has an irreplaceable role, but the wisdom of the commander cannot be ignored and underestimated.
After making a decision, Wang Ma led a team of 300 to sneak into the night and leave that night, but thinking that he had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light before, and took 3,000 deniers of grain to his Xiahou Zicong, Chen Xikang temporarily added 100 people to Wang Ma, so that Xiahou Zicong also left with Wang Ma.
On the edge of the reservoir filled with water, Xiahou Zhi, who was hidden in the darkness, looked at the place with lights in the distance from the air, and thought in his heart how to outwit this place, after all, if you look at it from the naked eye, the strength of the enemy army in the distance is definitely twice as strong as your own side.
King Chen temporarily let himself join this operation, which is self-evident, so Xiahou Zicong must seize any opportunity to show himself, but now that he has the identity of a soldier and knows that everything should be based on military orders for the purpose of victory, Xiahou Zicong also knows that no matter how much he wants to express himself, this premise must be to ensure the success of the mission!
Although the manpower was insufficient for the defenders on the opposite side, Wang Marco never thought of outwitting him. If you deal with only a thousand people, Wang Ma thinks that a strong attack is enough!
Wang Ma is confident that he will throw all the enemy troops here into the reservoir!
"General Wang, can you let me lead the thirty brothers up first? Although the enemy army has only a thousand men, it can patrol intensively, and if you make a rash attack, it will inevitably not cause agitation, and we don't know if the enemy army has any means of communication, so it is much better for me to go and test it." ”
Wang Ma stared at the front with a dignified gaze, and when he wanted to rush out with the people behind him, he heard the words of the person named Xiahou Zicong next to him.
"You seem to have a reason in what you say, give you fifty men, you do what you can, if you are not defeated, immediately give a signal, and I will bring people to support you. ”
"Thirty people is enough, the place ahead is a little crowded, and if there are too many people, it is easy to be spotted. ”
Hearing this, Wang Ma looked at the camp of the enemy army in front again, and when he really arranged himself, almost all of them were one hundred steps, and he also felt some sense of identity with him because of Xiahou Zicong's thoughts.
After seeing the second brother Wang next to him nodding, Xiahou Zicong also quietly walked away with a team of thirty people, including Duan Jing, and then, Wang Ma and hundreds of people lurking in the dark saw an interesting scene.
After sneaking in cautiously, Xiahouzi in the distance quickly assassinated dozens of enemy soldiers unknowingly, and there were a number of patrol teams in the front and back, and what made the eyes of everyone in the rear shine was that Xiahouzi changed into enemy clothes after killing a group of enemy soldiers, and became a new patrol team under the illusion of reality!
"Hell, if such a small group of people appeared in my camp unknowingly, then I would have to beware of being stabbed with a black knife at all times. ”
Seeing that if it weren't for the eyes in front of Xia Hou Zicong, he would be about to be confused, Wang Ma also muttered, but what to say, when the words fell, Wang Ma saw the picture of the enemy being stabbed with a black knife by "his own people".
Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, the quiet night was still quiet, and when Xiahouzi in the distance beckoned to Wang Ma in the dark, all the patrol teams in the enemy camp had been wiped out!
"It's a good brain, but unfortunately I don't. When he sighed again at the scene in the distance, Wang Ma also took people out with Mo Hei, but his movements were a little fast.
When the patrol people are silent, those who are resting will inevitably not be far behind.
"Be damn careful, the opportunity that has been created is going to be gone, be careful that I twist your heads!" Seeing that the people behind him made a noise, Wang Ma also made a low sound.
If you can win the victory gorgeously, who wants to fight to the death with swords.
In this way, after 500 men infiltrated like ghosts, they slaughtered 1,000 people here without a single casualty, and because of the speed and suddenness of the movements, most of the soldiers in the barracks died suddenly in their sleep.
"Okay, boy, the means and skills are good, go back and I'll let Xikang give you a credit! Although it's only a thousand people, it's a good start, and it's a big victory without spending a single soldier, festive!"
For the words that General Wang Da in front of him wanted to write down a credit to himself, Xiahou Zicong was naturally happy in his heart, because this is what he wants now, but although he was happy in his heart, Xiahou Zicong still responded to Wang Ma humbly.
At this time, he was just a small centurion in the Western Army, and he was no longer the bandit leader, and after understanding his identity, Xiahou Zi never knew what he should do.
A skirmish of 1,000 people is nothing at all, but seeing that the people who came back overnight were clean, it was a victory won without spending a single soldier, and after listening to the words of Second Brother Wang, Chen Xikang also raised some curiosity and expectations for Xiahou Zicong.
If Xiahou Zicong really had that ability and wisdom, what if he gave him tens of thousands of troops?
