Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] and [-] - Mengshan set up the Fumaocheng army division, the Jin River was flooded and the Yan army was damaged

"This battle has been fought so far, and there are still points to be marked, but analyzing the actions of the barbarians here, their goal may not be north of the Jinhe River." The voice of the man on the seat was light.

"Your Highness is right. Although we won Maocheng, the barbarian army originally allocated less troops here. Instead, we focused on this place earlier. The battle of Tongzhou is destined to be difficult and dangerous." Jiao Shiling said.

Liao Hui next to him was puzzled and said, "Tsk, that's not right, our initial plan was to delay the time and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. No matter what, taking back an inch of land is better than letting it fall into the hands of Nanman! "

"Having said that, but the reinforcements have not come for a long time, we are too passive now." Jiao Shiling said worriedly.

Liao Hui was angry, and said angrily, "What are those Yiweis eating? I haven't seen blood for a year, so I'm too lazy to retire?"

Zong Zhengxi said: "What is now considered is not the question of when the reinforcements will come. You always think about relying on the number of people to plan, but is it the number of people who fight? It is not because there are more soldiers, but there is no Wujin. These years, we have fought against the Nanman. , the number of soldiers in our army is always twice that of the barbarian army, but what is the result? Do we win every time?"

The people below were lost in thought.

"Liao Hui."

"The end is here."

"You personally bring five hundred soldiers," Zong Zhengxi ordered, "to ambush on Mount Meng."

Liao Hui looked up, looked at the black lines on the topographic map, and said hesitantly: "This Mengshan area is located in a remote area, this move...could it be a slant of the sword."

Zong Zhengxi said: "These border towns are on the verge of dangerous mountains, and the terrain is steep. If you don't go sideways, you can only get through from the inland. Fu Xuan is now stationed in the northwest of Tongzhou, and the south is directly connected to the Nanman territory, surrounded on both sides. , there is only one dangerous place to go. You also inquired here a few years ago, this time you will still lead the troops to enter, remember, you don’t need to go deep into the mountains, just hide your troops.”

Before Liao Hui could answer, the man said again: "This time you led the cavalry, abandoned the logistics, ran long distances, and penetrated into the barren. The purpose is to fight fast and attack diseases with speed. Don't forget this. If you are in the mountains A long delay will be of no benefit and damage one's own morale."

Liao Hui thought for a moment and asked, "Then when will the five hundred soldiers be dispatched?"

Zongzheng Xi said: "It is difficult to garrison troops in the mountains, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. But this battle is special, we must pay attention to the battle situation in Tongzhou in time, and attack the rear when the barbarian army is fighting our army."

"Yes."

"Joy Season."

"The end is here."

Zong Zhengxi asked, "How many casualties were there in the capture of Maocheng?"

Jiao Shiling replied: "Less than a hundred were killed, nearly a thousand were seriously injured, and many were lightly injured."

Zong Zhengxi said: "You choose [-] soldiers who are slightly wounded and able to fight, and go around to Tongzhou from the western road. The [-] soldiers led by Liao Hui are in the dark, and you have to be in the open. But there is no need to reveal your identity at the beginning. Pretend to be the fugitive people in the nearby state cities first, and look for opportunities when the time is right."

Jiao Shiling looked at the topographical map and nodded: "So Admiral Jia and the others will circle inland from the east at that time, and I will lead troops to attack his back from the west, forming a corner-shattering situation, thereby containing the barbarian army."

Liao Hui interjected and asked, "Since we're going to ambush in the dark, why don't we increase our troops?"

Zong Zhengxi replied: "With insufficient troops, what we are doing now is not to brute force to win, but to use the opportunity of dividing the troops to confuse the opponent. They have a large number of people, and we can only have a chance of winning if we divide and attack them."

Liao Hui understood, and Jiao Shiling added: "Besides, Maocheng has just been taken back, and troops are still needed to garrison in the city, in case the barbarians are surprised and suddenly switch their attacks."

"That's right," Zongzheng Xi said, "I'll be guarding Maocheng myself."

The Jinhe River is approaching the summer flood season, even in the upper reaches there are still waves, shining white spirits under the misty moonlight.

Three thousand soldiers and horses rested under the tree on the spot, and Jia Yun stood by the river with a dignified expression.

Lin Ping asked from the side: "Admiral, the time is urgent, why don't we cross the river at night."

"The road to cross the river at night is not clear, let the brothers rest for a few more hours, on the one hand to recharge their batteries, and on the other hand, it will be faster to march across the river at dawn." Xu Enguang retorted.

Lin Ping disagreed: "This place is near the upper reaches, and the terrain is much more stable than the source of the upstream canyon. The river is at most twenty miles wide, and the water depth will be below the waist. If we cross the river overnight, we can reach Tongzhou before noon tomorrow. The war is about to break out, how can we What about wasting time by the river?"

"Okay," Jia Yun stared at the water surface, the dark night sky, glowing with transparent light, "Lin Ping is right, time is tight, we don't allow any hesitation, let's go all out and fast forward to Tongzhou overnight!"

Seeing this, Xu Enguang no longer objected, and immediately gathered the soldiers in the rear: "Brothers! Pack your bags! Let's cross the river overnight and reach Tongzhou tomorrow!"

The red armor soldiers sitting on the ground immediately got up and resumed their original formation.

Jia Yun turned around to boost the morale of the soldiers: "Brothers, you have been working hard for so many days. After crossing the river tomorrow, you will be able to fight to the death with the barbarian army! Everyone cheer up! Dayan needs you!"

The soldiers lined up neatly in the rear stood upright, the moonlight in their eyes streaked across the darkness.

Xu Enguang led the team across the Jinhe in front, Lin Ping consolidated the rear troops, and Jia Yun watched from the side.

The wide river surface was full of waves, Jia Yun watched the marching situation, and suddenly felt a bit of coolness, which did not belong to the coolness of summer.

Jia Yun reached out his hand to wipe away a drop of water hanging on his forehead. He looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and shouted to the soldiers lined up to cross the river: "Quicken the speed of crossing the river!"

When the soldiers in the water heard the order, they passed it on by word of mouth, and gradually increased their pace.

Looking at the soldiers lined up behind who still hadn't crossed the river, Jia Yun's mood became more and more serious.

The waves advancing layer by layer in the river gently stir the floating rolls, stirring up a small splash of water, and occasionally a drop of water reaches the surface of the river, creating only a shallow circle of ripples.Jia Yun stared at the river, suddenly a shadow flashed across his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he realized something, but he was not sure.

A soldier suddenly appeared from behind the team and approached Jia Yun.

Jia Yun's thoughts were interrupted, and he raised his head to meet his peach blossom eyes. In the hazy moonlight, he barely recognized that this was a soldier of the Gyeonggi Auxiliary Army who entered the army with Fu Chen, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Lan looked serious and said, "Admiral, it's raining a lot now, is it dangerous to cross the river at this time?"

Jia Yun saw that it happened to hit him just now, and he was even more worried. He nodded to show that he knew, while watching the group of soldiers crossing the river have stepped into the water, staring at it for a moment, suddenly he was terrified, and he was still crossing the river. The soldiers who entered shouted: "Slow down! Don't enter again!"

The soldiers who were about to enter the river stopped suddenly, but their faces were full of doubts. Some of them had already entered the river for a certain distance, and they also stopped when they heard the words.

Jia Yun went forward and said to the soldiers who had already crossed the river: "Go and tell Deputy General Xu! Let him lead the troops to Tongzhou first! Let's divide our troops and advance!"

The soldiers didn't know why, so Lin Ping, who was in charge of the army at the rear, saw that the large army was stagnant, and hurriedly came over from the rear and asked, "Admiral, the crossing of the river is already halfway through, why did it stop?"

Jia Yun looked at the river and said, "Look at the river, there are occasional waves on the surface, but why is there so much white foam on it?"

Lin Ping speculated: "Could it be that the upstream is steep and the water flow is turbulent?"

"This may be on the one hand," Jia Yun pondered, "It may also be due to the impact of rain on the upper reaches. This is not the first time we have seen white foam in the river. If it is caused by rain, it is likely to be accompanied by the flood season of the Jinhe River. forward."

Lin Ping looked at Jia Yun's dignified face, and sighed: "Then you can't make fun of the lives of soldiers. It seems that we can only be stationed here."

Tang Lan looked anxious on the side, and continued: "Admiral, we can't just wait here, the situation in Tongzhou is critical, delaying time may be a loss to the brothers."

Jia Yun glanced at Tang Lan, and said in a low voice: "If this is Fu Xuan's plan, then he has a good plan. But what Tang Lan said is right, we can't just sit and wait for death, 'Destroy the ground and do it', You can't stay here for a long time, you have to go along the upper reaches of the river and make a detour. Your Highness has previously ordered that Liao Hui and Jiao Shi ordered them to transfer another [-] detours from the west. Let's go west to see if we can meet them and gather together If we form a road, we can change the main battlefield at that time, which is also a method of attack. It's just..."

Jia Yun recalled the five hundred ambush soldiers that Zongzhengxi had arranged in Mengshan, and was a little worried.

Seeing his speech pause, Lin Ping asked, "Just what?"

Jia Yun stopped talking and made a decision: "Let's regroup the army and go west immediately, so as not to delay the journey."

"Yes."

It was raining heavily and the muddy ground was difficult to walk on.

"General, it's raining heavily!" A soldier behind shouted forward.

Liao Hui rode his horse forward, and the bean-sized raindrops hit his face densely. He couldn't help cursing: "Damn, I can't stand the rain, why are you out fighting!"

The soldiers behind were silent, and the horseshoes rose and fell in the wet mud, adding to the darkness of the dark night.

Liao Hui looked at the endless mountain road in front of him, feeling irritable and restless, he turned his head and shouted: "Listen up! I'm going on the road all night tonight! Don't make me feel tired! If you don't get to Mengshan, everyone will be drenched together! "

The five hundred soldiers following behind held the reins tightly and followed each other with their horses.

Fu Chen was at the back of the queue, lying on his horse, and took a few short breaths.He felt that the freshly applied medicine on his calf had been soaked by the rain, and the wet trousers were sticking to his leg bones. The tingling pain was like a vortex in the water, spreading into his nerves wave after wave, getting bigger and bigger.

Passing through a narrow mountain road, the passing soldiers crowded together and passed dangerously.When Wei Xu was brushing himself, he heard a low gasp from one side, turned his head and glanced at him, and saw that his complexion was pale, which looked like a blue-white brick against the cold armor, Wei Xu said: "What's wrong? Does the wound still hurt?"

Fu Chen forced himself up and said with a smile, "It's just a bit of rain, it will be fine in a while."

How much this young man can endure pain, even a thick-headed person like him can get a glimpse of it in a few fights. There are many people in the army who are risking their lives in battle and greedy for life in private, but there is no one who can completely Completely abandoning life and death, Wei Xu really doesn't understand.

Wei Xu didn't look at him: "Why didn't you guard Maocheng?"

Fu Chen's gloomy eyes flickered, and after a moment's pause, he replied: "Tongzhou is dangerous and important, and we need people to come here."

"So you just hold on like this?" Wei Xu didn't listen to his explanation at all, and said abruptly, "When it comes to the battlefield, it's you who act like a hero who hinders you..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine in a while." Fu Chen straightened up slightly, "I won't hold everyone back."

The rain splashed on the trees and fell again.

Fu Chen looked around, and couldn't help saying to himself: "...It's good if it rains heavily, the barbarians can't see or hear, it's just good for covering the march of the army."

Five hundred soldiers hurried across the forest road, leaving vague shadows in the rain.

The rocky ground under Mengshan Mountain is tortuous, and the water in the canyon has increased. Under the impact of the heavy rain, there are big waves, and the white foam is surging.

As the terrain gradually flattened, the wave changed from the original tumbling to a gentle push, pushing towards the thick black curve in the distance, burying a slight whimper.
