two years ago

Fang Zhou, Wei Li and others have left Liuyun Village for a year, and there is still no news about them, which makes Yi Wen and others a little anxious. Although Jiang Tianyuan still trusts Wei Li,

Not having any news for such a long time still made them feel a little scared.

However, the situation at this time no longer allowed them to think so much, because at this time the relationship between Yufeng and Gu'an had reached the point of incompatibility, and the border of Gu'an was often harassed by Yufeng's army. Although

The people of Gu'an State sent a lot of additional troops to Yunbian County, but it was obvious that the senior officials of Gu'an State no longer wanted to spend more time on this unprofitable place, and the troops they sent were all empty-handed.

The reserve army of the Zhengwei camp and the troops sent by the imperial court totaled almost 200,000 people, but the number of people who were aiming to defend Yunbian County was only a little more than half, and some of them could not bear to eat in the army.

After doing the work, the resources go to the Zhengwei Camp Reserve Army. The upper echelons of the army basically turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. You can go to the Zhengwei Camp Reserve Army, but you must go to the Zhengwei Camp Reserve Army in the name of reinforcements for their unit.

.They were sent to guard Yunbian County. It would be hard to explain if they did nothing. Now that their people have joined the Zhengwei camp, if there is any war, they can report some casualties, so that they can still appear.

They fought hard on the front line.

Is it disgusting? Emperor Zhou Zhi of Gu'an had no choice. In order to restore the economy of Gu'an, he was already in a mess. It took more than ten years to lift a country that was on the edge of fragmentation to a point where it could compete with hostile countries.

It's rare that he no longer has the energy to take care of military affairs. Military affairs are now basically controlled by Ao Dingyuan and Xuanyuan Teng, but their abilities and connections can only check and balance those corrupt officials.

, so progress in the military is still very slow.

Because of the inaction of those with wine bags and rice bags, Liuyun Village often had to go out to fight against the enemy. However, after all, the people of Liuyun Village were bandits who had not received formal training and could not be compared with the Yufeng Kingdom's army. This year's

Shi Liuyun Village came out of the mountain a total of seven times, and three of them encountered Yufeng Kingdom's army. Although the losses were not big, it still made Jiang Tianyuan a little worried. They were able to escape unscathed three times because they did not confront the enemy head-on and guarded the camp at critical moments.

Arriving in time, he didn't know what would happen if he really encountered the Yufeng Kingdom's army, which made him even more eager to join the Zhengwei camp.

This day was just an ordinary day for the people of Liuyun Village, training, patrolling, drinking and chatting. However, what they did not expect was that people from Yufeng Kingdom would suddenly attack Liuyun Village.

Originally, the people of Liuyun Village were just a mob to the Yufeng Kingdom's army, but judging from their performance in the past year, this group of people will definitely become an obstacle to Yufeng Kingdom's attack on Gu'an Kingdom in the future. If not now, they will

Sooner or later, they would be a scourge. Therefore, after the discussion of many generals in the Yufeng Kingdom army, a plan to attack Chuanyun Mountain was finally submitted to Shangguan Yuan. Shangguan Yuan read the suggestions of all his favorite generals and

After weighing the pros and cons, we decided to attack Chuanyun Mountain.

Due to the special geographical location of Chuanyun Mountain, the two countries often had frictions near Chuanyun Mountain. This time, as long as it was not a large-scale attack, they would have reason to block Gu Anguo's mouth.

Shangguan Yuan was obviously dissatisfied with this attack.

Chuanyunshan’s proposal was taken very seriously. During the general selection process, Xu Jiang, the third-in-command of the Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry, was directly assigned to supervise the battle. Another general led two thousand Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry and five thousand elite troops to attack Liuyun Village.

This battle only seeks results, not process. Liuyun Village must be captured quickly. After learning the result, Xiao Wuchang felt aggrieved, but after all, he was personally appointed by His Majesty and it was hard for him to say anything.

Xu Jiang believes that the strength of two thousand Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry plus five thousand elite soldiers is more than seven times that of Liuyun Village. Although Liuyun Village occupies a geographical advantage, it will be difficult for them to use their Wuzhishan this time to deal with Fangshan.

The bandits dispatching a force of this size is already the greatest respect for this group of bandits.

In the army, every general has his or her own area of ​​expertise. For example, siege, defend, sneak attack, charge, etc. As the third-in-command of the Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry, Xu Jiang is best at long-distance raids.

What is commendable is that he is able to make reasonable use of the time he will spend on the journey, so that he can not only reach the destination as quickly as possible, but also allow the soldiers to retain their physical strength well and carry out the next step in a better condition.

In the battle, Shangguan Yuan took this into consideration when he chose Xu Jiang as the war supervisor for this expedition.

Xu Jiang shortened the original four-day journey to three days. These three days not only set up camp thirty miles away from Chuanyun Mountain, but also preserved the soldiers' physical strength to the maximum extent.

"General Qiu, the rest is up to you." As a military governor, Xu Jiang did not need to do everything personally. He explained to the general who led seven thousand soldiers this time and then went to rest in the military tent.

After Xu Jiang finished speaking to General Qiu in an almost commanding tone, General Qiu did not feel anything was wrong. Instead, he felt that Xu Jiang should be like this as a warlord. He only had admiration for Xu Jiang in his heart, not

Because among other things, just being able to bring an army of 7,000 people to the destination at such a fast speed and seeming to be able to do it with ease after arranging everything in an orderly manner is not something ordinary people can do.

"Send the order, everyone rest for half an hour. After half an hour, the mountain will be closed as planned!" General Qiu took a deep breath and said to several close followers behind him, then went to the side to study the map of Chuanyun Mountain.

went.

As mentioned just now, every general has his or her own area of ​​expertise. What General Qiu is good at is attacking cities. Almost no one in a country specializes in mountain attacking techniques, because it is rare to do so in large-scale operations.

Carrying out mountain operations would not only restrict the enemy's movements but also restrict one's own movements, so the unpopular "discipline" of mountain siege was incorporated into siege.

The terrain of Chuanyun Mountain is the same as that of many mountain peaks, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only difference is that Chuanyun Mountain is very close to the Zixiao Mountain next to it, and there is a "line of sky" in the middle that is neither wide nor narrow.

This should be taken into consideration when closing mountains.

Half an hour passed quickly. General Qiu assembled the troops as quickly as possible. This was his first time commanding the Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry. He had long heard of the combat effectiveness of the Yufeng Qingyun Cavalry.

This time it was just an eye-opener for him. He looked at his seven thousand elite soldiers and felt absolutely confident in taking down the group of bandits in Chuanyun Mountain.

Just when they were about to set off, a teenage cowherd boy riding an old ox appeared in front of them. When the cowherd boy saw them, his face showed surprise.

The expression on the meeting was obviously that he had never seen so many people, and they were all fully armed. General Qiu and the soldiers behind him did not expect to meet such a cowherd boy. Although it was just a cowherd boy, before they completed their mission,

Can't let them leave.

"Boy, are you a villager here?" General Qiu's soldiers stepped forward and asked.

"Go back... back to your lord, my family... my family is a cattle herder!" The cowherd boy was obviously frightened. After getting off the back of the old scalper, he hunched over and replied loudly with his eyes closed.

The soldier looked at the cowherd boy and he didn't look like a bandit or a member of the Zhengwei camp. He breathed a sigh of relief and then tried to sound kinder and said to him: "We are from the Zhengwei camp."

, we have a mission now, to be on the safe side you have to wait until we complete the mission before you can leave."

"It turns out they are the adults from the Zhengwei camp! Okay! Okay! I will definitely not cause any trouble for you adults!" Seeing that these people turned out to be people from the Zhengwei camp, the nervousness of the cowherd boy dissipated a lot, and then he followed.

in the middle of their team.

This was the first time for this cowherd boy to see such a large army. He looked and touched curiously in the army, which made the soldiers very bored. However, the army followed the rules of the army and no one was allowed to speak during the march.

, they can only endure it temporarily.

After more than half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Chuanyun Mountain. General Qiu looked at the towering mountain. He could already imagine the scene of the bandits being killed by him and fleeing in all directions. This time it seemed

Ordinary bandit suppression operations will actually be of great help to the military operations of Yufeng Kingdom in the future. As long as I can successfully complete the task this time, my status in Yufeng Kingdom will definitely rise.

"Disperse!"

According to the previous deployment, these 7,000 people will be divided into four groups. Three groups of 1,000 people will block several roads going down the mountain. The remaining 4,000 people will go directly to the south slope of Chuanyun Mountain to attack Liuyun Village.

.

This can be said to be the normal and safest tactic, but they still underestimated the reaction speed of Liuyun Village and overestimated their understanding of Chuanyun Mountain. Although they divided three thousand people to attack the major

The access road is blocked, but compared to the people in Liuyun Village, they still know less about Chuanyun Mountain.

An army of 4,000 people marched towards Liuyun Village in three groups. The total number of troops in any one of the attacks was greater than the total number of people in Liuyun Village. If Liuyun Village had not prepared in advance this time, I am afraid that Liuyun Village would really have been attacked.

The entire Chuanyun Mountain army was wiped out.

When the army of four thousand people began to enter the mountain, the hidden sentry in Chuanyun Mountain played their due role, but this time they did not report the situation here to the people in Liuyun Village, but began to stop the imperial guards here.

The march of the Feng Kingdom's army.

When an army of more than a thousand people led by General Qiu marched towards the mountain in the direction of the main gate of Liuyun Village, two arrows suddenly shot out from the bushes and accurately hit the throats of two soldiers. The two men had not seen it yet.

Liuyun Village looked like it was dead on the map.

However, a regular army is a regular army, and the death of two people will not affect their progress. General Qiu immediately ordered a small group of troops to search for the nearby Liuyun Village secret post in the mountains.
