Chapter Ninety-Three: Wu Yangping Appears
"Strictly defend to the death! Anyway, we must not lose the Pingban City!" Although Yun Xing is quite interested in the battle formation of the art of war, and he also likes to collect the art of war on weekdays, after all, he has not participated in the battle formation of tens of millions of armies!
When he was not yet crowned king by the Empire, the Half-Elf Eight Divisions also fought with the Imperial garrison many times, but they were all petty fights. Now the elves have nearly a million troops in the city, and their own troops are only 100,000 horses in this Pingban City, and the other armies are distributed in other cities around Pingban City, and the recruits in the clan are still training in Nightingale City. How do you look at this, the comparison of forces between the enemy and us is a bit suspenseful!
Not to mention defending the city, even if the elves besiege the barbarian city for a long time, the grain and grass in the city will be enough to choke! After all, 100,000 hedgehogs are gathered in such a small military city, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount.
Wang Baobao nodded, stretched out his hand to beckon a Tianjimen guard, and said: "Immediately send people to all cities and towns, and ask the garrisons everywhere to strictly guard and defend to the death, and never leave the city lightly! Those who violate the order will be killed even if they win!"
With its own barbarian city to attract the main force of the elves, the pressure on other towns is much less, and the elves are at most sending some partial divisions to attack everywhere. The entire defense line of Pingman City is composed of various towns, and Pingman City is the central axis, and the only thing he is worried about is that the generals below will make their own decisions and run out to fight in the field. When the time comes, once a town is conquered, the entire defense line will fall apart!
Yunxing was also sincerely relieved to hear this arrangement. The manager has a charter, and even if it's not a clever idea, he always has a backbone. The most feared thing is that the coach is flustered, and the people below will be at a loss!
"General Wang, have you notified Nightingale City for reinforcements?!" Several guards hurriedly left, ready to send a message to various places. Yun Xing turned his head and asked, this Pingman City has insufficient troops, and he still feels bottomless in his heart.
Wang Baobao waved his hand, staring at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer to the south, and said: "No need! The army of the Eight Banners of your department is going south with my father, and the rest of Nightingale City at this time are all new soldiers! King Wucheng explained at the beginning that the population of the Eight Half-Elves is not large, and it must not be sacrificed in vain. Let them come to their aid here, and let them die!"
When these words came out, Yun Xing raised his head in surprise, he really didn't expect Zhou Yi to care so much about the half-elf eight divisions.
"Besides, this elven empire has a great grudge against you, and I'm still a little worried that they will attack Nightingale City!" Wang Baobao turned his head and looked at Yun Xing and continued.
Yun Xing smiled and said, "General Wang, don't worry about this! Don't say that the elves dare not rashly divide their troops to the Lianyun Mountain Range at this time, even if they go, they will also keep them going and not returning!"
What he said was not empty words, but they were well-founded. Although there are recruits in several mountain cities such as Nightingale City in front of them, the half-elf clan has lived in this mountain range for nearly a thousand years, and the ravines and ravines inside are all clear. Don't look at the eight tribes are not many, but there are not a few half-elves scattered in the Lianyun Mountain Range, although many Orions have been recruited in these successive expansions, there are still many scattered half-elf Orions who have not been recruited!
The half-elf clan has been passed down from generation to generation is the persecution of the half-elf by the elf empire back then, and this kind of blood feud between the races has been passed down from generation to generation. If you want them to join the army, maybe you don't have much passion. But if the elves dare to enter the mountain, then without the greeting of the eight departments, these scattered half-elves will move in groups, so that the elves can't eat and walk around!
Wang Baobao shook his head when he heard this, and seemed to be deeply convinced of what Yunxing said. What he really thinks now is that Father Shuai doesn't know where it is! There is no reason why Father Shuai doesn't know what Father Shuai is going to do with such a big move of the elf!
Turning around and going down the city tower, it is estimated that it will take an hour for the elves to rush to the city. Coupled with the encampment and the deployment of the siege army, the first attack will also be after noon.
None of them returned home, but sat down at the doorway under the castle to rest.
"I don't know where the marshal is at this time?" Yun Xing took a sip of the water bag brought by his own soldiers, and then asked softly.
Wang Baobao took off the combat knife in his waist, pulled it out, and then gently wiped it in his hand.
"I don't know, maybe it's just behind the elves! The army in the hands of the father is not superior, and all of them are cavalry, so naturally they will not rush into battle! However, after the elves attack the city is frustrated, they must have made some moves!"
"Stop, who are you!?" While the two were talking, a thin man in a green robe wearing a hat suddenly walked over, and was stopped by his own soldiers.
Xu Huai raised his head, looked over there, and then suddenly had a very familiar feeling. This person seems to know him! This figure is so familiar!
After the green-robed man was stopped, he didn't force his way through, and after stopping, he just took off the hat on his head.
"Wuyangping!" Xu Huai suddenly stood up, this person he was very familiar with, it was Wuyangping, the commander of the 94th Division of the Ninth Army!
"General Wuyang!" Xu Huai trotted over excitedly, stood in front of Wuyang Ping, and gave a military salute.
On the same day, the Manchuanguan Incident occurred, and the commander of the Huangfu and several divisions under his seat were martyred, but the whereabouts of this Wuyang general are unknown! They always thought that he had been killed, but their body was not found, so there was no tomb.
"Hehe, Xu Huai!" Wu Yangping's sharp voice was still the same, but there were a few more vicissitudes between his words, and he realized a lot about the danger at that time.
Wang Baobao led the seventh and ninth armies, and naturally knew who Wuyang Ping was, and when he heard Xu Huai's exclamation, he also stood up in surprise. Yun Xing and Wu Yangping have been friends for a long time, and they also walked over after Xu Huai, and then hugged his arm and patted him heavily.
"General Wuyang, where are you going?" Xu Huai choked up a little between his words, the only one left under the command of the Emperor Fu was the only one left, and the old boss suddenly appeared, and he was naturally quite excited.
"Hehe, it's hard to put into words! I only came to Pingman City today, and I hid in the Lianyun Mountains some time ago, and I didn't dare to show my face at all! It wasn't until I heard that Manchuan Pass had changed dramatically, and that the commander of the Central Zhou Dynasty had decided the overall situation, so I dared to come out to look for you. Briefly talking about his origin, Wu Yangping had a lot of sighs in his words.
"The general is suffering!" Yun Xing nodded, finding that he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Well, the deceased is gone, I, a person who is still breathing, if I hadn't wanted to stay with the remnants of my body that day and avenge the emperor's marshal, I would have gone with the marshal a long time ago!" Wu Yangping's face was full of sadness, and he did not shy away from the fact that he chose to flee at the beginning.
"It's easy to fight to the death! It's rare to bear a blood feud and lie down and taste the guts! General Wuyang also asked for condolences, the grudge of Marshal Huangfu, the prince of Zhou has already avenged them!" At this time, Wang Baobao also walked over, saluted, and comforted him.
"I have heard a lot about King Wucheng along the way. Presumably, the emperor will be relieved if he knows about it!" "Wuyangping came out this time, and at first he was hiding in Tibet, picking up the path from the Lianyun Mountains all the way to Luojing. Halfway through, he heard about these major events done by Zhou Yi, especially the matter of exterminating Lin Bo of the Military Academy, the three saints and the ten great grandmasters, so he dared to go on the official road.
Originally, he planned to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, but at this time, there was no need, and after thinking about it, he was going to go to Beijing to find Zhou Yi. But halfway through, I suddenly heard that Manchuan Pass was lost, and the imperial army was defeated. After many years in the army, he could naturally guess that the elf's next step would definitely be to attack Pingman City. When he went to the capital by himself, it didn't seem to be of much use, thinking that his old subordinates were all in Pingman City, so he turned around and went straight here.
As soon as he entered the city today, he heard the warning signal in the city, and after inquiring again, he knew that the commander of the city was in the South Gate Tower, so he went straight over.
"King Wucheng has already led a large army south, and it shouldn't be long before he arrives!" He told a few people all the news he heard on the road, and then accompanied by Wang Baobao, he went to the city gate and sat down.
"General, after the last upheaval, almost all the middle and senior officers of the Ninth Army Corps were killed. At present, most of the newly promoted people are newcomers, and they can do it on weekdays by training or going into battle to kill the enemy. But in a battle like this time, they were a little overwhelmed! And I had no choice, so I was temporarily commanded by King Wucheng Jianba of the two legions. Although I have participated in large army battles before, I am really not familiar with the tactics here in the Empire, and I think there are many mistakes and omissions. The general is back, this military position still has to wait for the arrival of King Wucheng to make it clear, at the moment, Wang is willing to give up the command to the general!" "Yunxing, Xu Huai and Wuyangping are old acquaintances, Wuyangping will not die, as soon as they meet, they naturally have a lot to say. Wang Baobao listened quietly on the side, pondered for a long time, and suddenly spoke, wanting to ask Wuyangping to temporarily take command of the defense line of Pingmancheng.
His thoughts naturally made sense. Although he used to follow his father in the Great Yuan Dynasty and had a lot of experience in the army, he also had some experience in the command of the army. However, after coming to this Qinling Empire, some of the information that I have come into contact with and understand shows that the war here is far from being as simple as that of the Great Yuan Dynasty. This is not to say that the Great Yuan Dynasty fought roughly, but that there was a divine machine battalion composed of Holy Dao monks, as well as the elves' magic legion and magic crystal cannon. When he thought of the magic attack, he didn't know how to deal with this unfamiliar attack.
Since he can't do it, then ask someone who knows how to do it, isn't this also a truth that the master should learn! Moreover, this Wu Yangping, he has already heard of it, is a subordinate of Master Zhou Yi, and there is still no problem in terms of trust. Wu Yangping was the commander of the 94th Division at that time, and he was a senior general in the army, and he was mixed in the military array all the year round. Some time ago, he fought with the elves in Baiyue County with Huangfu Lesheng, so he naturally knew how to deal with magic attacks.
Although he did not have the right to appoint him, it was still feasible to temporarily hand over the command to him. He followed him, supervising him to avoid mistakes, and at the same time he happened to be by his side to learn the art of commanding the battle formation in this world. Min Min followed Zhou Yi and naturally wanted to marry Zhou Yi in the future. And the woman next to Zhou Yi is not Min Min at the moment, there are two half-elf county lords, here is not as good as Da Yuan, if Min Min does not have the support of his family, he will definitely suffer in the inner mansion in the future. As the eldest brother, he must make a career and support his sister outside. Now that you have decided to fight in the army, you can't rely on outsiders to help you every time in the future!
Of course, this is just his thoughts, as a brother, a kind of concern and worry about his sister's happiness in the future! Therefore, he would rather think badly of the other women around Zhou Yi than listen to his sister crying in the future.
Yun Xing was stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Baobao to be willing to give up his command to Wu Yangping. He didn't know how hard Wang Baobao had been working for a while, and he was able to think of so many things, just for Wang Baobao's open-mindedness!
"Don't dare! General Wang's presiding officer was set by King Wucheng, how can the commander in the army give and accept it privately, and Wu Yangping can't accept it! General Wang don't worry, although Wu Yangping is white at the moment, he also came out of the Ninth Army Corps, and he is also a soldier under the command of Marshal Huangfu! King Wucheng is a disciple of Marshal Huangfu, and he avenged Marshal Huangfu and my brothers, and Wuyangping has already decided to sell his life to King Wucheng! This time to defend the city, General Wang has an order, and Wuyangping obeys his orders!" Wu Yangping was also stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly stood up and said his heart with a solemn face.
"This ......" Wang Baobao also wanted to persuade a few words to seek his own government in his position, after all, if Wuyangping did not have the right authority, he was not worried that he would do his best.
Before he could finish speaking, an alarm bell suddenly sounded on the top of the city! The attention of the three of them suddenly shifted, this is the arrival of the elven army!
