Chapter 46: Are You a Pig Teammate?
What Lord Zhou said is really ridiculous, Ben Shuai and Marshal Zheng were both from the military academy, why haven't they heard of this so-called taboo of soldiers? Could it be that Lord Zhou is unwilling to assist His Highness in achieving military exploits!" Gong Hao smiled contemptuously and retorted.
Although Zhao Mu was inclined to divide the troops, he would not listen to Gong Hao's fools. "Marshal Gong is serious, Lord Zhou has his own considerations, and he is loyal to the country!"
It seems that although Zhao Mu is still inexperienced and easy to be impulsive, he is still sincere to himself. Zhou Yi was quite comforted in his heart, so he got up and said, "Your Highness, it is dangerous to go behind enemy lines. In the event of a frontal defeat, our army will be surrounded by the enemy. Your Highness is the prince of the empire, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, so I should lead the Eight Banners behind enemy lines!"
The words were extremely sincere and decent. Even Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong can't find a loophole, if Zhao Mu stays, I'm afraid this strategy is very likely to succeed at the insistence of the Guards Legion. How to calculate Zhou Yi, this is not in line with the plans of the two. They were also extremely dissatisfied with this prince, and planned to plot against Zhao Mu as well. If the prince dies, the blame can be put on the heads of Zhou Yi and the half-elf Babu, and even Zhou Yi's teacher, Huangfu Lesheng, can't run away.
"No, Lord Zhou's Eight Banners Legion are all recruits, it's not that Ben Shuai looks down on you, how can 170,000 recruits realize the strategy of flanking behind your back? Zheng Taihong also stood up and said, his tone was quite thoughtful and considerate of the overall situation.
Zhou Yi was convinced in his heart that Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong had a conspiracy! Just as he was about to continue to refute, Zhao Mu spoke: "Needless to say, Lone decided to divide the troops! Let Lone and Lord Zhou lead the army to detour behind enemy lines, and the two armies will attack back and forth. If you have the opportunity, take the opportunity to capture Nanyue City and annihilate Hicks in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Yi was dumbfounded, what kind of rhythm is this! It really fulfills an old saying in his previous life, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate.
"Your Highness is wise!" Gong Hao also stood up, and together with Zheng Taihong, he bowed to Zhao Mu and saluted, finalizing the matter!
The plan was decided, the two armies prepared overnight, and on the second day, Zhao Mu and Zhou Yi led nearly 270,000 iron cavalry of the Guards Regiment and the Eight Banners Regiment to bypass the trade road and go along the side of the Lianyun Mountains towards the south of Nanyue City. Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong led nearly 250,000 horses and continued their march along the trade route towards Nanyue City.
Along the way, Zhou Yi followed Zhao Mu silently, the Eight Banners were naturally led by the eight commanders, and the major matters were handled by Yun Mo and Yue Feijie.
After running for a long time, Zhao Mu woke up from the excitement of the initial independent army attack. Seeing the taciturn Zhou Yi, a trace of guilt swelled in his heart, in order to be able to lead the army independently, he did not listen to Brother Zhou's advice this time.
"Brother Zhou, I apologize to you!But I really don't want to be constrained by Gong Hao and the others anymore!" Zhao Mu grabbed the reins, the war horse stopped, Zhou Yi naturally stopped, and the army continued to run in front of the two.
Zhou Yi raised his head and looked into Zhao Mu's eyes, he was indeed very angry at Zhao Mu's decision last night. Only with an IQ like a pig will listen to the opinions of their opponents and take risks lightly. But now looking at Zhao Mu's guilty eyes, he couldn't harden his heart and ignore him anymore.
"Your Highness, the minister really didn't know that your idea of leading the army independently was so strong!"
"Brother Zhou, don't call me Your Highness, you are the eldest brother I recognize, just call me Zhao Mu when there are no outsiders present in the future! I know, I didn't ask for your opinion on my decision last night, but isn't it good for us to lead the troops to fight side by side alone? In the future, I can justifiably make you the generalissimo and lead the troops to fight for me!Drive the beast clans in the north back to ......" Zhao Mutou's words moved Zhou Yi, but the words behind made him speechless.
My good girl, don't you still understand! Are you really stupid or fake stupid! I completely lost confidence in Zhao Mu's military strategy and political fighting ability, if it weren't for the fact that he still sincerely called himself the eldest brother, and really wanted to lead the Eight Banners away, how could you love it.
"Since you still call me big brother, then I still recognize you as a brother. Brother Zhao, don't be naïve! Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong will not hold back the elven army for us at all, and even they have stopped their pace and set up camp now. ”
"Ah, no, didn't you say a good strategy last night, I look at the strategy is very good!" Zhao Mu was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time he was skeptical.
"Hmph, I guess only you think so, brother. The two of us led an army of more than 200,000 to the south, and it was impossible to cover up our tracks, and the elves were good at reconnaissance, do you think our plan of action could hide Hicks? If Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong were willing to face Hicks head-on, they might be able to win a chance for us to break Hicks' encirclement and suppression. But with their military background and past attitudes, these two people are afraid that they wish we were wiped out by the elves and killed on the battlefield!"
Zhao Mu's face became more and more ugly, he was not a stupid person, but his obsession with being a hot-blooded leader and an independent leader was too deep, so he ignored that the attitude of Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong yesterday was indeed too respectful.
"Dogs are bold! They actually dare to plot against the imperial prince, aren't they afraid that their father will condemn them!?"
"Hehe, what's so difficult about this, it's just that when the time comes, you rushed into the army at my instigation, and they persuaded His Highness not to listen. Blame the blame on me and the half-elf Babu, and then under the pressure of the military academy, His Majesty's anger had to be sent to the innocent half-elf Babu. Perhaps, you can also pass this matter to make His Majesty have a bad feeling towards Teacher Huangfu. In this way, at most, they bear the responsibility of poor rescue, which is insignificant. Zhou Yi smiled disdainfully, and then continued.
"Brother Zhou, that's really not good, let's go back to the army!" Zhao Mu really believed that Zhou Yi's words were true this time, and associatively speculated that Gong Hao and the others would really be fine.
"Hmph, brother, no need! we are just returning to the army, and if they want to assassinate us, they will come up with other poisonous schemes. Now that we already know, we naturally won't fall for them. As long as the brothers listen to the eldest brother, not only will we be fine, but maybe we will really be able to establish miracles. Zhou Yi was thinking about how to solve the deadlock all the way.
Hicks must have known that he and Zhao Mu were also in the Southern Expeditionary Army, with the huge royal banner and the unique Eight Banners military flag, it was impossible for those scouts not to know. As a result, more than half of the troops in the Southern Expeditionary Army were suddenly missing, and the banners of himself and Zhao Mu also disappeared. With his identity as a member of the Imperial Expedition of Zhao Mu some time ago, Hicks will inevitably go all out to encircle and suppress himself and Zhao Mu, not to mention that Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong will definitely not contain the elven army.
"Big brother, what do you say we should do! I will listen to you, and the Guards will obey your orders. Zhao Mu, who had always admired Zhou Yijun's strategy, heard his words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said sincerely.
"Okay! It won't be long before the vicinity of Nanyue City will be surrounded by Hicks. It's not that the eldest brother is arrogant, this elf prince has suffered a lot at the hands of the eldest brother. This time, I found that the army I led disappeared from the sequence of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and I definitely didn't dare to underestimate it, not to mention that you, the banner of the real royal family, would definitely go all out to deal with us! Staying near Nanyue City is looking for death.
Some time ago, Hicks' army suffered heavy losses, and it must be replenished by drawing troops from the rear, and the movement of the empire's southern expedition army this time is not small, and the rear troops will definitely be concentrated in the Nanyue City area. They rely on sea supplies for the army, and transporting millions of troops at a time is already the limit, and the mainland is far away from the eastern continent, and the next batch of troops may not have landed yet. Let's take advantage of the emptiness behind them and give him a ruthless attack, how about attacking Wanghai City!" Zhou Yi told the thoughts in his heart, and Zhao Mu's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Okay, good, just do it!" Zhao Mu was originally swept away by the depression of the plot, and shouted excitedly.
This is the disadvantage of Zhou Yi's ignorance of the elves, he has no idea that the second group of landing troops led by Feather Dance Amber Light has been arriving for many days. Of course, the number is really small, only more than 500,000 troops, the cavalry has already reached Nanyue City, and the infantry army is also on the way to Nanyue City.
"Moreover, once this Hicks finds out that he can't find us, he will definitely find that we have gone to Wanghai City! In order to solve us, he must first deal with Gong Hao and the others, and then Gong Hao will not be able to fight if he doesn't want to. This time, he couldn't eat and walked around, forcing him to drag the main elf force. Let's take Wanghai City, set fire to the port, and play hide and seek with Hicks. If you find an opportunity, stab him hard, we are all cavalry, just fight and leave!haha......" Zhou Yi continued to talk about the plan to push the show, and he was also amused by this possible situation.
"Poof, haha, let Gong Hao steal chickens and rice! Interesting and interesting!" Zhao Mu heard Zhou Yi's words, thinking of Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong's constipation in the face of the attack of the elven army, he couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't help laughing. I also admired Zhou Yi's wit more and more, and I was even more determined to obey my brother Zhou.
"Hehe, without further ado, we can't stay here for a long time! Let's go, speed up and march towards Wanghai City!" Zhou Yi looked at the southern sky, and his heart was full of pride.
Zhao Mu looked at the south with Zhou Yi's gaze, this big brother Zhou was worthy of the evaluation of Huangfu's teacher and unparalleled national scholar. can do what ordinary people can't, put it to death and live after. I still have a lot to learn! But with Brother Zhou helping me, what is the difficulty that I can't do? The more I think about it, the more hot my heart becomes, and I shout: "Brother Zhou, let's go! Poke the Hicks chrysanthemum!"
"Haha, okay, poke Hicks' chrysanthemum!" was amused by Zhao Mu's words, and didn't think that this world was also described by chrysanthemums! After Zhou Yi responded with a smile, he drove the war horse to follow Zhao Mu's figure closely. The two guards not far behind him didn't know what the two coaches were talking about, but seeing them laughing constantly, they must have had a good conversation. Up and down, these guards also smiled at each other in a friendly way, and hurriedly followed.
With the sound of rumbling iron hooves, more than 200,000 iron horsemen rolled along the grassland on the inland side of the Lianyun Mountain Range in the direction of Wanghai City, moving forward!
