Cangyun [Sword Net Three]

13th Year of Wuchang - Autumn

This is a year that all the people of the great merchants will remember. Yangwei General Wu Lang integrated the Xuanjia Army and the Guangze Army, and launched a full-scale attack on the wanton harassment of the Beirong Army.

After conscription, the Xuanjia Army and the revived Guangze Army had a total of 40 people, and they were divided into three groups and marched northward.Wu Lang personally led the central army, Xue Tang and Dugu Sheng led the troops to the left, Song Song and Wan Jing led the troops to the right.As for Wen Feng and Lin Zheng, Wu Lang assigned another [-] soldiers to them as a mobile force to follow behind the army in the middle, ready to go to different battlefields at any time.

The closest Beirong town to Yanmen Pass is Tiandong Town, and Tianyang City is next to it.

The Wulang Middle Road army marched very fast, and they easily broke through Tianyang City before they could react.

The first thing to do when entering the city is naturally to kill the defenders, behead officials, and occupy the granary.So is the locust crossing.However, it was limited to food, if the soldiers did other superfluous things, Wu Lang would definitely not be stingy with punishment.

What Wu Lang wants is to be fast, extremely fast!Tang Liancheng hadn't expected that they would be able to attack the Dorma city where he was stationed so quickly.

With such a vigorous effort, they actually reached the outpost of Doma City, Dongshui Town, within ten days.Wu Lang took a closer look, but saw that the outside of Thomas City had already been heavily fortified, as if waiting for the sheep to enter the tiger's mouth.

Although Wu Lang was disappointed that Tang Liancheng took precautions early on, he failed to steal the first move.But he didn't pay much attention.

Tang Liancheng is the number one defender of Beirong, and he is best at defending the city.If he can be given a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that General Zhengyi will not be able to move him a little bit in the future.Fortunately, the terrain of Beirong is flat, and there are few natural dangers and jurisdictions that can be called a battleground for military strategists.Moreover, the Beirong people are warlike, and they always rush forward in battle. Most of the generals don't understand the art of war. Relying on the strength of their soldiers, just a sprint of the whole army can cause headaches for the big business defenders.

To Beirong, Tang Liancheng was like an evergreen tree growing on a grassland so barren that it could only grow grass. Although it was magnificent, it was out of place.

Tang Liancheng's high prestige in Beirong is only because he rarely loses battles. Many generals are not convinced by him and despise him for only knowing how to hide in the city, without any wolfishness at all.

More importantly, when Tan Taixi was fighting for the throne, Tang Liancheng held a neutral attitude and did not stand on any side.

That's why he dared, and he was sure that he could shake Tang Liancheng's position in the heart of Emperor Beirong.

The central army is now stationed in the countryside two miles away from Thomas City. None of the nearby cities have been captured. Instead of entering the city, they chose to camp in the wild with a wide view.Firstly, there was no extra energy to deal with the Beirong people in the city, and secondly, even if Tang Liancheng came out of his tortoise shell for the first time and attacked them, the sentries could quickly find them.

Compared with the tents of low-ranking officers, Wu Lang's commander's camp has no other difference except that it is larger and has a single room. It's just that the military flag of the Xuanjia Army is pasted on the curtain of the tent for better identification.At this time, he was sitting in the chief seat of the tent, and two rows of generals and civil officials sat down. A huge sand table was placed on a large table in the middle.These officers and scribes are all new faces who have been promoted in the past few years, and the old people of the Xuanjia Army have gone left and right.

Wu Lang asked them to actively speak and discuss the countermeasures against Tang Liancheng.However, I don't know whether I am afraid that I am wrong, or I really don't know how to deal with this famous border guard who is known as a humanoid and natural danger. Everyone looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Lin Zheng, tell me."

Lin Zheng, who was named, got up and bowed, and said with a solemn expression: "I am not talented. If there is something wrong, please correct me. Judging from the current situation, Tang Liancheng is firmly guarding Tianyang City, and this city is fully defended." If we rush forward to attack, it will only increase casualties and waste marching time."

Wu Lang said, "Then what do you think?"

"I personally think that we can let it go and ignore it."

"tell me the story."

Lin Zheng took the baton and pointed to a direction on the sand table: "General, colleagues, please look. This is Thomas City." As he spoke, the tip of the baton moved slightly to the left: "This is Hedoma City There is Qinggang City separated by a river." The baton drew an irregular circle around Tianyang City with Tianyang City as the center: "Here is Huaifeng City, and there is Tongshan County to the northeast. Walking four miles to the southwest is the two counties of Wuyi and Wuyang, and walking three miles to the north from Wuyang County is Zicheng."

As the baton passed over the towns on the sand table one by one, everyone could see clearly that if they could destroy these towns one by one according to Lin Zheng's statement, then Doma City would be surrounded, unless they follow the road outside Qinggang City Go along the Qinggang River, otherwise, it will be difficult to fly with wings.

Sitting on Lin Zheng's left side, he didn't speak for a while. The middle-aged man wearing a blue scholar's gown suddenly said: "Lin Chengfeng knows that although it is only two miles from Huaifeng City to Tongshan County, the sky is full of yellow sand. It is an uninhabited desert. Most of the army in the middle road has heavy armor and shield soldiers, and it is very difficult to march on this terrain. When they arrive in Tongshan County, they will only be fatigued and exhausted. Tang Liancheng is not a stereotyped general who only knows how to defend. When we are so weak, he will definitely send troops out to catch us by surprise."

At this time, a bearded general answered the words: "If not, divide the troops into two groups and crush them from different directions. These cities are not too big, and the number of defenders in the city cannot be too large. At that time, even if Tang Liancheng knows our strategy and wants to attack us, he must first consider whether to divide his troops or attack one side with all his strength. Once Tang Liancheng leaves Doma City, it will be our chance."

At this time, Wen Feng said something he disagreed with: "General, I think that Lin Zheng's plan has serious flaws. First, we are not familiar with the terrain of Beirong. Even if there is a map, the towns of Beirong are not densely populated. There are often large grasslands and Gobi deserts where we cannot find specific directions between cities. If we get lost, the consequences will be disastrous. Second, if we want to implement this plan with maximum efficiency, we must divide our troops. In my opinion, no one here He has the ability to lead a large number of soldiers freely between these cities. Third, Tang Liancheng’s greatest advantage is the city of Thomas, which he has armed with a fortified wall. We can’t compete with him. However, if we plan to use The siege method made Tang Liancheng jump over the wall and give up Doma City. I think this is a very naive idea. Tang Liancheng is not rigid, as Wang Dutong also said. I don’t think the military cavalry is used for good looks. And Tang Liancheng has many talents, even if he does not leave the city, can’t he call his generals to lead troops to attack? Tang Liancheng does not delete the attack, but it does not mean that his generals are not good at attacking. [-]. I think the general never thought of dealing with Tang Liancheng from the very beginning. If I waited for the army in the middle to fall into the quagmire of Tang Liancheng, then the original plan was to combine the left, middle and right. It can only become empty talk.”

"Then what do you mean, do you mean just sitting still?"

"Tang Liancheng is a great threat. If we leave it for another day, when our strength is weakened, we will surely fall into a more difficult battle."

"General, what do you mean?"

"General, the general feels that Lin Chengfeng's method is not unfeasible, but the details are lacking. We should also think of a safer and foolproof method."

"Where can you be safe in war? Nothing will happen! If you are afraid, go back to your hometown as soon as possible!"

"Wang Jie, what do you mean?!"

"That's what I mean!"

Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a vegetable market, Wu Lang knocked on the table and ordered to go on: "It seems that nothing can be discussed today. After the meeting is over, you can write a plan to me after you go back. Everyone write The time limit is three days. I hope to see your most prudent and thoughtful views. Alright, let’s end the meeting, and Wen Feng will stay.”

"Yes."

People left one after another, Wu Lang changed his sitting position, looked at Wen Feng, and said unhurriedly: "Just now he denied Lin Zheng's plan, he looked very surprised, he thought you would support him."

"Although I went to the same school as him, I can't speak against my conscience. If it's not good, it's not good."

"You don't seem to have much contact with him recently. Why, what happened?"

Wen Feng pursed his lips, thought for a while and then frowned and said: "I didn't have a good relationship with him in the first place, but the prince thought he was capable of this matter so he sent him to come with me."

Wu Lang thought to himself, when you first came here, you and Lin Zhengke shared the same hatred, even if you weren't best friends, you could count as friendship, and no matter how stupid Situ Jing was, he wouldn't let two people with suspicions work together, and his subordinates were not no one.As to why Wen Feng had conflicts with Lin Zheng, it was probably a personal matter.

"You are still in partnership with Lin Zheng. Now you are marching and fighting, and every day is a critical moment. If you feel that you can't continue to be in the same room with Lin Zheng, don't hold back and report to me. I will replace Lin Zheng to go to another place. work under the generals. What do you think?"

"The general is worrying too much."

"Since you said that, I hope you don't make official decisions with personal feelings, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, general, Wen Feng is not that kind of person."

Wu Lang smiled, and didn't ask about this matter, but pointed to Tian Yangcheng on the sand table: "What do you think of our current situation?"

Wen Feng frowned, and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to see the small protrusion on the sand table more carefully. After a while, Wen Feng said: "This time, most of the elite will be on the left side, and there will be those who are good at attacking cities and conquering territory." The two generals Xue Tang and Dugu Sheng led the army. Even against the giants of the Northern Rong, they won more than they lost and lost less. There are more lightly armored soldiers on the right side, the purpose is to disturb the rear and ensure that our army in the middle road marches safely without being attacked and double-teamed. Although my army in the middle road is the most numerous road, and you have the general in charge, the soldiers are all inexperienced recruits. There will inevitably be various problems on the march. Moreover, I will take down many cities in Beirong in one go. Although the momentum is high, it will also make many soldiers take it lightly. Moreover, the team accustomed to victory will become impatient. When encountering a general who is good at defense like Tang Liancheng, the soldiers will easily waver and become impatient, which will damage morale."

While listening, Wu Lang nodded in agreement: "You said just now that I had no intention of dealing with Tang Liancheng, what is the basis for your judgment?"

After hearing this, Wen Feng pulled the map pasted on the wooden board aside, pointed to the capital city of Beirong, capital, and drew three lines on it with his baton, and said, "The capital is here, judging from the geographical location of Yanmen Pass Look, the capital is in the southwest direction of Yanmen Pass. The route of the army on the left is an improved route after directly connecting Yanmen Pass and Capital. Although this route is the shortest, it is also the most dangerous. A strong soldier with a strong heart. At first, my army in the middle route went straight to the north, and then turned to the direction of capital. As for the right route, they took the most tortuous route and the longest mileage. It is weaker. Therefore, although the routes of the three armies are different, there will not be a big gap in time. If the general is now leading the most elite troops of the Xuanjia Army, then it is only a matter of time before the city of Doma is conquered. No It is said that there are so many recruits in the Central Route Army, and our army cannot afford to consume the food and grass. The general has fought for many years and has a big strategy in his stomach, so it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, I think the general should not have the intention of confronting Tang Liancheng head-on. "

"Not bad, it seems that you have really used your brain."

Wen Feng pursed his lower lip, but didn't answer.

"Very good, Wen Feng, I'm very happy to hear you say these things. It proves that Situ Jing has a good vision, and my training is impossible to fail. You go back and tell the soldiers that the upcoming battle will be tough, so they should prepare well. "

Wen Feng looked up at Wu Lang, a little puzzled, but he didn't complain too much, and left the tent after bowing.

Wu Lang's eyes fell on the Beirong capital marked with a red cross on the map again, and Chang Shan quietly appeared behind him.

"Master."

"Ok?"

"It's almost done."

"Then everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng."
