"Go and ask Mr. Liu what he thinks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The three of them finally agreed to go to Liu Fa, Liu Fa was comparing on the map at the moment, sometimes frowning, sometimes twisting his beard and contemplating, and even Fei Dong and the three of them didn't notice it when they got closer.

"The black-armored iron cavalry actually chased into five hundred miles, this speed is too fast, it won't take more than a month at this speed, isn't the madman's territory lost, no, according to Miao Xin's steady character, it shouldn't be so frizzy, that is the merger of the two rebel armies, more than 400,000 horses? Oh, why are you here? I was about to send someone to find you. ”

"We came early, and it didn't bother you to see that you were thinking. ”

"Huh. . . It's too devoted, just right, and it saves people a trip to find you, you guys come and see...."

In the early morning of the 22nd day of the first month, Song Xin suddenly opened the city gate and took the initiative to attack the rebel joint camp, the rebels were caught off guard, and the rebel joint camp at the east gate of the north gate was broken in an instant.

An hour's battle, so that the rebel joint camp fell into a chaos, more than a dozen joint camps lit fires, the camp grain and grass were burned, the Chu army achieved brilliant results, but the rebels were too many, the Chu army was not strong, Song Xin had to see the good and collect, Ming Jin retreated, this battle made the rebels suffer heavy losses, and the Chu army also lost 30,000 or 40,000 horses.

Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-losses, but this battle was of great significance, allowing the people in Shangjing to understand the fragility of the rebels and the fierceness of the Chu army, which gave them hope.

King Chu Wei was very happy and wanted to send a decree to let Song Xin take advantage of the victory to defeat the enemy, but Yao Linci stopped him.

"Your Majesty, we won this battle and suffered more than 40,000 casualties, although the rebels died more than us, but there are millions of people and horses, and our city is full of more than 400,000 people, if all attack, if it is entangled by the rebels, counterattack the city gate, it will be a bad thing, the significance of the general's battle, mainly to boost the army's prestige, appease the people, and the strategy is in it, this strategy is not known to everyone, it seems that the general has been arranged, but the time is not enough. ”

"Oh, but don't we still have 10,000 black-armored iron cavalry heavy armor troops who haven't moved, and there are 50,000 elites who have been secretly transferred out, all of them are pressed up, and we should be able to break through the rebel camp, kill him and turn over on his back, and win soon." ”

"Your Majesty, the rebel joint camp of more than 100 miles, our fifty or sixty thousand people are powerful, and it is like a glass of water in Yunlong Lake in the garden, how to say that they are all people, when they are tired, the coalition forces do not resist and let them kill and exhaust them to death, so the general is ready to use tactics instead of hard fighting, and besides, send them out, the palace is empty, and there are those young people.."

Yao Linci tried his best to let King Chu Wei interfere with Song Xin's actions, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable, not to mention the black armor iron cavalry heavy armor army and the 50,000 people in the secret land Song Xin was going to be a surprise soldier in the final decisive battle, how could it be exposed now.

On the city tower, Song Xin was a little tired and leaned against the wall and looked at the rebel joint camp, in the past two days, he seized the opportunity to attack several times, and the rebels were disturbed, but now he didn't dare to let people attack, because the rebels were beaten more times, and they also learned to beat people, and there would be an unforeseen crisis if they continued.

"Let Miao Xin speed up and defeat the rebels on his side, the farther away the better, time is running out, when they come back, it will be the time for the decisive battle, and let the south side also defeat the rebels as soon as possible, leaving some people to block the rest and rush back to participate in the decisive battle. ”

"Wow. ”

"General, there is a problem along the way to the south, they have not been able to break through the camp of the rebels, and they have lost a lot of men. ”

The army reported.

"Waste, vainly claiming to be elite, can't change the Lord for me. ”

"It's taboo to change the battle on the spot, it's too late to say it, it's better to retreat and abandon Wuyang City, and don't let them affect the decisive battle. ”

The old general persuaded and suggested.

"Let's do it. ”

The old general's suggestion, Song Xin's order, but they didn't think too much about it, and gave the largest piece of the Zhuang family's cake to the rebels in one sentence, so the Zhuang family hated Song Xin to death, united several major families, and forced King Chu Wei to depose Song Xin, the biggest contributor to the rebellion.

This is an afterword, and I will mention it in one stroke.

Fei Dong and the others didn't know about going to the capital, and several people speculated about the intention of the officers and soldiers to retreat suddenly.

"As for the withdrawal of officers and soldiers, don't bother with labor, send some scouts to investigate, our top priority is to send people back to stabilize the rear and strengthen the defense, if we let people **** the back road and the nest, we will have nowhere to stay. ”

Liu Fa is worried about these.

"Then let Lan Fang go back. ”

"It's fine. ”

"It's best for Brother Bai Tian to go back with him, Brother Lan Fang, don't get me wrong, the rear is more important than here, you should also know, Brother Lan Fang is a general, not good at strategy, Bai Tian is a literati who is good at strategy, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, you are the best partner, the most important thing is that you are the leader's brother, the most trusted person, you guard the rear, the leader is also assured, relieved of the worries, we will rest assured that we will rush forward boldly." ”

When the three of them heard it, they felt that Liu Fa's suggestion was not selfish, and it was the best plan for them at present.

Before leaving, the four of them planned for a long time in front of the map, Liu Fa told Bai Tian that the main thing was to pay attention to the movements of the black-armored iron cavalry, even if Miao Xin sent five thousand black-armored iron cavalry, it would cause the most damage to them, and told them some simple and practical ways to deal with the cavalry.

"I haven't been to the last few cities, but I know that there are a lot of water, use the geographical advantage to deal with the cavalry, as long as you use it properly, the problem is not big, the most important thing is not to slack off, the cavalry is fast, come and go like lightning, don't try to find them for a decisive battle, but lure... ”

Liu Fa took the trouble to explain, Lan Fang and Bai Tian listened carefully, and they didn't think they were verbose, the reason for this was that this defensive battle made them respect Liu Fa, the person who Zhang Xian sent to help.

The two of them turned back with more than half of them, and some of these people would stop halfway through to guard and manage the newly captured territory, leaving Fei Dong with less than 80,000 men.

"Sir, is it a little less than 80,000 people to capture Wuyang City?"

The rebels are used to the tactics of the sea of soldiers, but there are fewer people but no confidence.

"There are no longer many people but fine, don't worry, there are not many defenders of Wuyang City, if you don't meet those officers and soldiers who fight with us, it will be okay to take Wuyang City." ”

Hearing Liu Fa say this, Fei Dong was relieved.

After waiting for another day, on the evening of the 26th day of the first month, Liu Fa finally waited for the information sent by the Red Evil that the 150,000 people in the fortress (which were no longer enough) did not stop in Wuyang City, but rushed to the capital.

"General Fei, pass the order, rush to Wuyang City overnight, and launch an attack in the early morning. ”

When no one is around, Liu Fa doesn't have to hide it.

"Good. ”

"But you have to take the military rules seriously, and those who violate them will be beheaded. ”

"This... ”

"General, Ci is not in charge of the army, if you want to do a career, you can't be indecisive and indulge your subordinates. ”

What Liu Fa said would not be able to get off the stage in general, Fei Dong was indeed a little unbearable to punish his subordinates, but such indulgence was indeed not the way to lead troops, he understood in his heart, so he took Liu Fa's words as a wake-up call.

The fortress is basically an empty city now, and more than 50,000 people have been transferred from the secret ground, and more than 10,000 people have been punished for the dead and wounded due to internal strife, so there are less than 40,000 people left, and the six battalions have no battalion and 2,000 people left to guard the battalion, plus the law enforcement team of the Eastern District, there are less than 60,000 people left in the fortress.

The total length of the fortress across Luoyan Gorge is more than 30 miles, and the width is also more than 20 miles. Put these people in, and you won't be able to see anyone if you don't look closely.

King Chu Wei can rest assured that he will evacuate people, first, he is helpless, and secondly, he is not worried, the walls of the fortress are several times higher than the capital city, extremely strong, and there are three city gates in the west of the entire fortress, Xiguan, Midi, and the northernmost one.

Usually the west pass is open, and the other two city gates are blocked, unless the west is conquered, the two city gates will be opened.

The city wall is so high, made of huge bluestone masonry with a height of thirteen or fourteen zhang, it can't be broken, and there is not such a high ladder, and the army is also looking forward to sighing when it arrives at the city.

As long as the remaining people hold the West Pass, patrol the city wall, and prevent the enemy army from arbitrarily building the siege plank road, the fortress can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

The fortress is empty, Chen Gongwei put a part of the people with good strength, let them enter the forbidden area first, the task is to set fire, but it can't really burn, it will be his own in the future.

The other part of the overall tacit understanding is also to enter the forbidden area, so that they can wait for the opportunity to meet the people coming from the plank road, seize the two city walls on the Xiguan, and prevent the Chu army above from blocking the bows and crossbows of the army coming in from the Xiguan.

The rest of the people were divided into two, snatching the West Gate and guarding the East Gate.

Chen Gongwei is located in the Eastern District.

Everything is ready, as long as the plank road is completed as scheduled, wait for Zhang Xian to come back and start the action.

On the night of the 28th day of the first month, Chen Gongwei was nervously checking the news from all sides, waiting for Zhang Xian.

"Mr. Chen, the lord has a letter, he can't come back, everything is led by the gentleman, and the time is up to you to decide. ”

Luo Song came in a hurry, bringing Zhang Xian's news and warrant.

"Is there any news from the plank road?"

"Yes, it's good news, about ten miles away from the cliff on the east bank of the Ling River, there is a valley that leads directly to the plank road on the cliff, and there is no need to repair this ten-mile road. ”

"Well, since the lord can't come back, we will decide on our own plans for this eagle attack, the intelligence from all walks of life shows that everything is ready, the decisive battle in Shangjing is imminent, we can't wait, I decided to act in advance, the situation is changing rapidly, even if we succeed, we still need time to prepare for the counterattack of the Chu army, time, time, time is not enough." ”

Since Zhang Xian handed over the decision to Chen Gongwei, Luo Song did not object, and he also knew that time was pressing.

"Song Bolun let Xingmang go, although he knows our intentions, he has no objections, and he has not informed, but I think he must have a knot in his heart, I am afraid that I am sorry for Wuhou, and it is useless to explain to him now, wait for Wuhou to rebel, and then let him show up." ”

"Okay, I'll go and deliver the order, I don't know if the gentleman still has an order. ”

"Let's do it first, and it will start tomorrow... (To be continued.) )
