Chapter 719: The furnace is endless, adding new fire
Feng Yu was also rushing in the direction of Wolong Ridge. The speed of the large army was always slower than expected. In a hurry, he led a vanguard of a thousand people to set off first, leaving the rear to Cheng Yi and Shi Lin.
Take charge.
The further north you go, the colder it gets. No wonder people here are wearing big coats, and the wind and frost hurt their faces.
"Don't underestimate this weather. The combat power of an army built in this climate is definitely beyond your imagination."
The place where Qin Yi is located can be regarded as the center of the Hulukou hinterland. He listened to his subordinates constantly reporting on the oppression and distance of the Northern Yan Army, but never said a word.
The Northern Army of Datang Town was also constantly changing their formations, heading toward the assembly area for reinforcements like scissors, but still leaving a large plain in the middle.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is still twenty miles away from here."
Qin Yi finally opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes revealing shrewdness, "Tough them up, and then take the opportunity to retreat and give up space."
The Beiyan army that was constantly mopping up suddenly encountered an attack from archers.
After a burst of arrows fell, they also discovered the traces of the Tang army and began to gather troops and horses to prepare for the attack. However, due to the obstruction of the archers, the forward team could not go further and could only wait in place.
In the Beiyan Army, a middle-aged man in golden tiger-head armor knew this. He waved, and more people began to gather in the direction of the attack.
"General Sun Tao, lead the troops there in person. Remember to deceive and feint to attack. Wait until Qin Yi shows his weakness before stepping forward."
"Yes, Marshal."
This man is the most brave general of Beiyan, Yu Wentai. It is said that Beiyan was torn apart more than ten years ago. This man just relied on a small team to conquer the entire territory of Beiyan and regained several small countries in one fell swoop.
He defeated today's powerful Beiyan. And the Beiyan National Defense Army he led was also unique. No one in the entire court dared to contradict him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he had great achievements.
This time, Qin Yi was captured by him and his Beiyan National Guard Army. He had long wanted to meet the King of Tang Dynasty. If he could kill the 300,000 Tang troops, he would be afraid of the National Protector Army.
His iron hooves could go straight down to the south of the Yangtze River, holding all the Tang Dynasty in his hands.
General Ling Wei stood aside, a little confused, why should he wait, what should he wait for? But he would never question the marshal's decision.
"Do you know why my commander was able to completely trap 300,000 Tang troops in Wolong Ridge?"
Ling Wei said: "The marshal has planned the strategy, and with the right time and place, all the battle situations are under control, which is beyond the reach of his subordinates."
"Qin Yi is older than me and has more combat experience than me. Although my 500,000-strong national defense army is superior to him, this person is no small matter and should not be underestimated.
Since he can lead his army to break into the mountains on our border, he naturally has his own intentions, and he even has extremely strong confidence that he can hit us. It's a pity that although I couldn't figure out his thoughts, I can lead him.
idea."
Ling Wei asked: "Is it because of that person?"
"Yes, when the two armies are fighting, in addition to tactics, there is also intelligence. The right time and place are the elements of the decisive battle. The person and the people are the indispensable key to promoting the decisive battle. If you can lead him to the Hulukou of Wolong Ridge, then you have already
Half the battle is won. However, he could have completely wiped out my vanguard, but he still allowed the message to come back and had to guard against it." "My subordinates have learned a lesson."
"As the number one expert next to me, you naturally have no say in terms of force, but your mind still needs to be practiced more. The battle between the two armies is not a one-on-one battle. The key to this battle is not speed, but killing.
Qin Yi, as long as Qin Yi dies, no one can stop me from going south."
In fact, Yu Wentai didn't say anything, and that was the cooperation with the Western Jin Dynasty. Presumably, at this time, the Jingzhou City, the place where the three countries interacted, was also undercurrent. The Tang army had no one to use, and the huge Tang country could only be consumed.
All is gone, and Japan is just the appetizer. Now it has just begun, and the partition is a foregone conclusion.
All the troops in the southern part of the Tang State have moved to the border, and are about to join forces with Nan Chu to fight against the Western Jin Dynasty.
The importance of Qingzhou has become more and more prominent. As long as Qingzhou is under the control of the Western Jin Dynasty, no one can block the decisive battle between Yan and Tang. At the same time, they can also go south to harass and exert side pressure on the Tang and Chu coalition forces. Xixia Ming
The choice of family will no longer be a stumbling block, because the strategic positions of Xizhou and Qingzhou have already destined them to be in vain even if they want to escape.
"Has there been no news from Dingtang Pass and Nan Neighbor Mansion?"
"Not yet. The news in the past few days has been calm. There is no trace of reinforcements. People from the southern neighboring government have also gone out to explore, and there are no horses on the official road."
"Where is the spy in Tang State?"
"Marshal, it seems that the spy has been cut off. There has been no new news for a long time. I'm afraid the situation is more dire."
"Pay attention to precautions and patrols. I don't think they will take any measures at all. They may just kill a team of people when they are stunned."
"Marshal, are you being too careful? Qin Guang and Qin Xiao each led their own troops to guard it. The Japanese naval battle also consumed countless troops. Now that the 300,000 Zhenbei Army is at Hulukou, how can they have other troops to mobilize?"
"An anxious dog will jump over the wall. At the moment of death, people are often very impulsive. Notify Nanlin Prefecture and Dingtang Pass to prepare for the war. No one from the Tang Dynasty is allowed to pass the pass."
"yes."
After the archers' counterattack, the two sides began a back-and-forth tug-of-war, leading here and pulling back, creating a situation where the enemy was advancing and we were retreating, but neither side was willing to engage in a large-scale bloody battle.
A big circle shrinks and a small circle closes together, all making their own plans.
However, this bought more time for Feng Yu to support. No one expected that a thousand-man team was about to arrive at Wolong Ridge.
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Your Highness, should we pass through from the side and attack the commander of the Beiyan Army directly?"
"It's useless. Five hundred thousand people must have already figured out how to fight. Killing a marshal will not affect the overall situation. It will even force them to counterattack immediately. Our numbers are too small and we are no match in this cold place. We will definitely
Will be surrounded and annihilated."
"Wolong Ridge is ahead. You can faintly see the troops stationed on the periphery, just like ants, good guys."
Feng Yu checked the map carefully. Although it was not standard enough, he could still make a rough analysis.
"According to the number of people and equipment, it is probably the strongest national defense army in Beiyan. Yu Wentai can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people, with overwhelming power, just because this army has made great contributions."
Liao Zaohua's evil aura grew stronger in the direction of King Wolong Ridge. Although he didn't show any signs of it, Feng Yu could tell that he was definitely not at peace in his heart. "I heard the old prince say that this Yuwentai conquered several Beiyan forces back then.
This small country only had the powerful Beiyan later. In those few years, it could be said that corpses littered the land. Mr. Liao, are you among them?"
Liao Zaihua did not answer, but at this moment, silence was better than sound. And looking at the hatred, I was afraid that the people from Tianmu Mountain were also involved.
"Yes, the world is also the world under the temple. There are people with arrogant ambitions, so naturally it is impossible to stay out of it. No matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, it will be difficult for him to hold on for a moment under the iron hoofs of hundreds of thousands of people."
"That's enough, fighting your battle, so much nonsense."
Feng Yu smiled, this guy still has emotions and desires, he is not a stupid person reading books.
"Can't you see what's inside? If we send out the army at will, I'm afraid it will be worse. The old prince must have his own ideas. Let's wait and see what happens and find an easy road first so that the army can retreat."
At this moment, a general on horseback walked slowly towards the end of the slope where they were hiding.
"Has this discovered us?"
"Don't move around, hide first."
Liao Zaohua took out a cat from the bamboo basket at his feet, shook it left and right to wake it up, and then let it out along the other end.
"Meow~"
The cat's meow attracted his attention, but he breathed a sigh of relief and did not continue the search.
"Evacuate first. It's not safe here. Their search scope is too wide."
You can almost only see Wolong Ridge from a distance. The entire Wolong Ridge is surrounded by the Beiyan Army. It is completely impenetrable and they dare not get any closer.
"According to this distance, even if we can attack and clear a road, we are afraid that by the time we reach Hulukou, it will have been blocked again. The marshal leading the army is a master who is well versed in military affairs."
"The only way now is to wait for the fight to start inside first, and then we can all work together when there is a flaw, otherwise we may go to see the King of Hell before the people inside. Just wait for the people behind, Shi Yufeng, you go and tell the people behind
Army, slow down and don’t give the Beiyan people any chance of discovery, we want stability.”
"Okay, I'll go pick it up."
In the mouth of the gourd, small frictions continued, and big traps and small circles continued, but they were getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that half of the mouth of the gourd was gone, and only the innermost piece was left.
Yu Wentai looked at the movements of all the soldiers and sneered, "This is a plan to break out."
"Report, Marshal, there is news from people inside that Qin Yi is on Man Dou Slope in the middle of Hulukou, the closest to our army is only twenty miles away."
"Okay, let's go ahead and continue to reduce the encirclement. In addition, the soldiers on the periphery of Wolong Ridge will begin to withdraw inward and advance in a wheel formation. Remember, trap them all in the back half of the gourd. I will keep a strict guard on the nearest place.
, avoid surprise attacks, use backup to keep distance, and don’t sink too deeply.”
"yes."
At the same time, on the slope where Qin Yi was sitting, Qin Tianfang ran up and whispered something in his ear.
"It's all settled."
"Father, do you want to arrest him first and interrogate him why?"
"No need, the war is about to begin. Let's kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and give the soldiers an explanation."
It turned out that Qin Yi had been waiting for the spy to reveal his fault, but he did not expect that he would appear among his personal guards. He spread the news one after another, and there were far more than one. It seemed that the screening of Qin Junxue had been relaxed. This chapter has been completed!
