"I'm telling you, it's because my brother Min is not here. Otherwise, Ximing City could be lost? He would have led the army to support it a long time ago. But now that my uncle is the only one in charge of the overall situation in Huyangguan, we can't rush to divide our troops...
…well!"
"Yes, yes, the title of Young Master Touching Mercy has struck me like a thunderbolt. The top eight in the Yellow River Association are the pride of our Xia people! But in my opinion, Young Master Yulong and him are only different in age.
In a few years, we can’t tell who will have a more famous name!”
"Hmph, the meeting of the Yellow River..."
…
"Back then, my family wanted to send me to study at the Mohist School. I preferred Confucianism, so I went to Mugu Academy... I'm not saying, brother Zhang, people should study more and make more friends. Only on the battlefield.
If you work hard, your future will be limited after all. You will know when you go to higher places in the future. Bottlenecks are everywhere!"
"Oh, who says it's not the case? In recent years, I have been in the military and have become more and more embarrassed! It's just that I don't have the talent of Mr. Yulong, and I don't know where to start. Mr. Yulong, do you have any suggestions?"
…
The two of them chatted like this for a long time.
For Chu Yulong, he simply found his soulmate in life!
How can there be anyone in the world who understands me so well?
Understand all my subtexts and understand my unfinished meaning. Every sentence is to the point, how in tune!
Until all the supplies had been unloaded and a temporary camp for shelter from the rain had been initially set up, he was still talking enthusiastically. But after all, he had a mission, so he had to leave with great reluctance.
Before leaving, he also agreed to meet again in Guiyi City after the war. With his popularity with Yulong, it is really easy to find some ways to help Zhang Gu. Among his current confidants, there is really no one like him.
Fat man is smart.
Zhang Gu also said that after returning home, he would send some home-smoked mountain products to Brother Yulong.
The sudden outbreak of the Qi-Xia War made two people who had rarely crossed paths in life get to know each other at this time, and thus developed a friendship.
Come to think of it, if you wait until you become successful and famous, this will be a good story!
With this thought in mind, Chu Yulong turned his horse around Guancheng.
From the beginning to the end, he had a very pleasant conversation with a certain country general from Fengli City, and he did not even dismount.
…
Chong Xuan Sheng wiped his wet face, smiled again, then turned around and entered the camp, getting into the general's tent that had been set up.
Jiang Wang is practicing again.
Fourteen Ze silently took off his armor, took a dry towel, and helped him wipe his wet hair - something that could be solved with any Taoist magic.
"If you don't know how to use Taoism to decompose water element, I can do it for you." Jiang Wang suddenly opened his eyes and said.
Chong Xuan Sheng smiled: "No wonder even Chu Yulong said you have no eyesight!"
Jiang Wang didn't care what Chu Yulong said about him, and there was nothing to care about. He just said, "Don't you plan to take Huyangguan?"
"Hu is too cautious. Even if we sneak into Guancheng now, it will definitely be a fierce battle. With the support of the Xia Kingdom's national protection formation and the Huyang Guan protection formation, our losses will not be small...
Behind enemy lines, there is no place to replenish troops, and the most taboo thing is heavy consumption."
Chong Xuansheng explained his reasons and finally said with a smile: "There is a better way to capture Huyang Pass, so why fight so hard?"
Jiang Wang said "Oh" and didn't care about the method. Knowing that there was no war for the time being, he closed his eyes and practiced again.
The rain continued, hitting the tent one by one.
Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is only the sound of rain.
…
…
Stationed outside Huyang Pass for one night.
At dawn, the rain also stopped.
The soldiers of the Victory Battalion dismantled the camp, packed up the tents, reloaded the vehicles, and walked into Huyang Pass in an orderly manner under Chong Xuan Sheng's shout.
According to what Chongxuan Sheng and Chu Yulong said, their Fengli Mansion army was going to transfer to Xinjie City and return to Fengli. The soldiers were eager to return home and could not wait any longer.
However, despite the presence of the good brother Chu Yulong, the road passed by the soldiers of the Victory Battalion was also full of large crossbows, and the soldiers of the Guan City were on guard, not giving any chance at all.
Of course, Zhongxuan Sheng had no intention of doing anything.
This level of vigilance that implements the will to touch theory can be regarded as a test in itself.
Anyone with evil intentions would definitely not dare to let themselves fall into such a situation where life and death are in the hands of others.
"Follow up, keep up!"
"Brothers, follow up!"
"I'll take you home!"
Chong Xuan Sheng, dragging his body with fat, worked hard to run back and forth, directing the queue to move forward.
In fact, it was intentionally or unintentionally disrupting the marching rhythm of the soldiers of the Victory Battalion, making them look more like the defeated Xia Guofu Army - some training has been engraved into instinct, and these elite soldiers from the Qiu Kill Army always unconsciously
The ground is about to get into battle formation.
Under the different eyes of the Huyangguan garrison, Chongxuan Sheng led his troops to leave Huyangguan without incident. Until the end, they were not able to see him once.
"Is this really the case?"
Outside Guancheng, Jiang Wang asked in surprise.
The city gate behind him slowly closed, isolating the poor defeated army from the beacon fire in the direction of Linwu Mansion.
Just like Chu Yulong said when he said goodbye: "Brother Zhang, don't worry about the war for the time being. Go back and rest for two days. More difficult times may be behind you...but you will eventually see the light. Just like this rain that has ended."
"
Of course, for the Victory Battalion itself, from this moment on, they truly entered an environment surrounded by enemies on all sides. It was impossible to get any support until Huyang Pass was broken.
It is impossible for them to "return" to Fengli in such a big way. They don't have any acquaintances there.
It is difficult for an army of three thousand people to hide their tracks in the hinterland of Xia Kingdom. Even if they want to find a ravine to hide in, it is unrealistic. Huyangguan will soon be able to find out the information about Ximing City.
Now is the real crisis moment.
But Chong Xuan Sheng is still calm.
"There's no chance at all here. What if I don't leave?"
He even had the time to evaluate Chu and said: "The Xia Kingdom is still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. I didn't know this person before, but today I look at his ability to deploy defenses and look at every detail in Huyang Pass... I have seen a famous general.
posture."
Jiang Wang said speechlessly: "Do you still want to recruit someone to surrender?"
The possibility of surrendering to the great Xia clan, such as the Chu clan and the Tai clan, is almost negligible. The state's treatment is not as generous as that of the Xia clan. No matter how well the Qi state treats them, it can still help them establish their aristocratic family status.
base?
"No, I just remind myself that when killing Chu Yulong, don't let go of this dangerous person Chu Shuo."
"Touching Jade Dragon?" Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you have a pleasant chat? Why did he offend you?"
"He offended me severely!" Chongxuan Sheng said in an evil voice.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said: "I haven't even seen Chu said that, so I just said why don't let him go. You should think about our current situation first."
"We've come this far, why do we need to think about it anymore?" Chong Xuansheng smiled and tapped his temples with his fat fingers: "It's all here."
…
…
Today, the core battlefield of the Qi-Xia National War is undoubtedly still in Tongyang City.
In front of the towering city wall, another round of offensive by the Spring Death Army finally stopped, and the army retreated like a tide.
During this period, Spring Death, Autumn Death, and Zhufeng, three nine-soldier brigades, took turns bombarding Tongyang City. The pressure was always controlled at the critical point and did not give the Tongyang City defenders a chance to breathe.
He nailed Xia State's Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, State Counselor Xi Mengfu and others to Tongyang City.
Due to the superiority of field strength, the Qi army had absolute initiative in the Jiangyin Plain and could advance and retreat freely.
Reflected in the siege offensive, it is quite arbitrary. Either respond on time at noon, or suddenly attack in the middle of the night, so that the Xia Fang defenders cannot relax for a moment——
Because whenever a flaw is exposed, no matter Chu Liang, Li Zhengyan or Chen Zeqing, they will definitely not give Xia Jun a chance to make amends.
"Shimen Military Strategy" says: "Defending a city is like guarding an embankment. Don't dare to let ants collapse."
The Qi army's offensive is mainly based on the Spring Death Army with complete combat strength, and they often "add food" to the opponent. Two or even three attacks a day are the norm.
The Autumn Killing Army and the Wind-chasing Army use the old-style siege method. They attack for a while when it is their turn. They can only play once in two days, and spend most of the rest of the time recuperating.
I ate Qi and Blood Pills and used Daoyuan Stones. I was also very particular about my diet. I mixed spiritual grains with mortal grains, spiritual vegetables with mortal vegetables, and meat beasts mixed with the blood of monsters and beasts. I slaughtered one after another - on weekdays, but
The enjoyment that can only be enjoyed during the holidays was not interrupted even during the war.
Rich supplies from the Daqi Empire were continuously sent to the front line through the "campaign" established by the Ziji Campaign.
Of course, since Xia Guofang uses Tongyang City as a fortress to resist Qi, the material reserves in the city are sufficient, and it is probably not a problem to support it for ten or eight years.
But can the guards in the city persist for so long in such a tense state where they dare not relax for twelve hours a day?
Even if there are two true kings in charge, even if there are many famous generals in Tongyang City at this time, and the defenders are divided into several rounds of duty, the defense is impenetrable... But Tongyang City itself is subject to bombardment all the time, at any time.
There may be a decisive battle.
Is it really time to take a rest and can you really relax completely?
As the Qiu Kill Army and the Zhufeng Army slowly recovered, the pressure on Tongyang City was increasing day by day.
Judging from what a certain guard who had been imprisoned said after drinking, he hoped that the war would last longer and bring down the Qi army, but at the same time it was really difficult!
However, Cao Jie, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, did not seem to be in any hurry, unlike in the first few days of summer - at that time it seemed that the summer had to be destroyed in March.
Now it is stable and orderly, with three powerful brigades of nine soldiers attacking the city like exercises every day. It seems like they are training troops!
The remaining battlefields on the Eastern Front and the Northern Front are really free to do as you wish.
It seems that they are well prepared for a protracted war!
When Wang Yiwu came down from the battlefield, what he heard in his ears was a squeaking sound - it was the military craftsman loosening the string of the moon crossbow. After the battle, he had to use the secret technique in time and carefully warm it with lion scorpion oil.
Maintenance can ensure the service life of this expensive ordnance as much as possible.
In addition, there are the sounds of soldiers' uniform footsteps, the sound of nails and leaves clashing, and the sound of flags blowing in the wind...
Everything on the battlefield felt familiar to him. The military camp was also the place where he felt most at home.
The smell of war seems to be mixed in the wind.
It was an indescribable taste... a bit spicy, a bit rough, but it could make people's blood boil.
He grew up in this environment.
Get glory here, control your destiny here...
Under the respectful eyes of the soldiers, he strode into the military tent.
Chen Zeqing's wooden wheelchair was parked in front of a huge sand table. He looked at the sand table quietly, wondering what he was thinking. There was only one person in the huge military tent.
Now there are two people.
"How do you feel?" Chen Zeqing asked without raising his head.
"The Xia army is very tenacious and has not shown signs of fatigue." Wang Yiwu, who was on the front line personally and took the lead in feeling the enemy's front with his fists, said.
"It's so normal. After all, no one standing on the city wall is easy to deal with." Chen Zeqing said softly.
"It's already December." Wang Yiwu said in a dull voice.
"Are you anxious?" Chen Zeqing asked casually.
"After Commander Cao led his army to the Xia Kingdom, he fought from Jianfeng Mountain to Tongyang City and launched the Xia Kingdom's national defense formation. It only took five days. Then the three armies dispersed and attacked various places, setting up additional battlefields on the east and north fronts.
On the frontline battlefield... It has been ten days now! Linwu Mansion and Youping Mansion have not opened up the situation yet." There were some shadows between Wang Yiwu's eyebrows: "We are in Tongyang City, and they have been restrained.
The main force crucified their core character, didn’t they?”
Chen Zeqing gently pulled the old blanket on his lap and said slowly: "Xia is not a country that can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. At this stage, there is no need to rush."
Wang Yiwu frowned: "I have no doubts about Commander Cao. But the Jingmu War broke out in full force. It has been fighting for forty-two days now, nearly a month and a half. Mu Sheng has been fighting for a year before that! The situation is
It may change at any time. But I feel that our victory or defeat should not be affected by their victory or defeat."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The implication is that the Xia War should end before the Jingmu War. This is also Qi Fang’s best idea for this war.
Chen Zeqing glanced at him: "It's good that you can jump out of the Qixia battlefield and consider the war from the overall situation of the world. But this war cannot be rushed."
Wang Yiwu randomly found a seat and sat down, and said helplessly: "Senior brother, you always say this."
Wang Yiwu, who was used to being arrogant, was sometimes beaten to the point of losing his temper.
Chen Zeqing's voice was still calm: "Your eagerness is exactly what the Xia people want. Now that our start is perfect, the war has entered the middle game. What are we considering in the middle game? Wang Yiwu, stay patient."
Wang Yiwu had no choice but to calm down his emotions and asked: "Brother, do you have great confidence in Mu Guo?"
Chen Zeqing burst into laughter: "Both Jingguo and Muguo are powerful countries in the world. How can it be my turn as an outsider to express confidence in them?"
Just laughing, he looked at Wang Yiwu and said, "I just have confidence in our Qi country."
This was said with great calmness and determination.
Wang Yiwu originally crossed his legs and prepared to practice, but before that, he couldn't help but said: "It would be great if senior brother went to the Eastern Front battlefield."
In his heart, in terms of military strategy, the senior brother must be stronger than Xie Huai'an, the court official.
If Chen Zeqing had gone to the Eastern Front to fight a group of Xia Guofu troops, the situation would not have been so stalemate.
But Chen Zeqing shook his head seriously: "I may not be as good as Xie Shuai when I go to the Eastern Front. His current style of play is the safest way. How well we play on the Eastern Front actually doesn't matter to a large extent.
It depends on us Qi people, but on the Xia people."
Wang Yiwu opened his mouth: "Oh, I just said it casually, senior brother, please don't preach anymore -"
Chen Zeqing has continued: "Furthermore, a breakthrough has been made in the northern part of Linwu. The news I just received is that the front is now steadily advancing towards the central part of Linwu, and it is just around the corner to fully occupy Linwu."
Wang Yiwu shut his mouth.
After a while, he smiled again and said, "Not bad."
