The messenger took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the prince. He looked at the message sent by the messenger and said,
"Great, the patron king has sent an army of fifty thousand, divided into two groups. Thirty thousand cavalry have gone down the Luo River and have reached Changgu.
20,000 infantrymen took boats and went northward. They are almost at Erlongtan and will reach Juma City at midnight tonight."
Fifty thousand troops, Changgu, Erlongtan. Hanwen pointed to the location of Changgu on the map and immediately took it into consideration.
"Where is your prince?"
"The prince is in Changgu"
"Who will lead the navy?"
"General Wang Yuan"
Yan Feihu, I have a letter. Please give this letter to your prince.
obey
"You know General Xiaowu Wangyuan?"
"I recognize you. We escorted the crown prince to Luoyang that day and we had a drink together."
"Okay, you take my token and go to Erlongtan, tell General Wang so that they don't have to go ashore, continue north along the Luo River to Sanhe Bend and then land, and stop the fleeing wolf soldiers on the north bank of Tama Stream. Remember this
Whether he can win the battle depends on whether he can stop the fleeing wolf soldiers."
"You leave immediately"
"yes"
Hanwen decided to launch a sneak attack tonight. He needed to make full preparations before the war. He began to issue notices to the people that they needed to make torches. Every household actually took out the cooking oil at home.
In the main hall, Hanwen summoned all the generals.
Chang'an, Imperial City Hall
"Liu Aiqing, Minister of War, how many clan soldiers have been gathered now?"
"Your Majesty, we have gathered 30,000 troops."
"It took three days to gather 30,000 troops. What did you do for food?"
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent."
"Liu Aiqing, where is the grain and grass? We have raised 60,000 dan."
"Not enough for at least 100,000 dan"
"Usually you want to be promoted to an official position, but you have tried every means. Now that you have the opportunity to make a great contribution, you have become a bastard."
"It is decreed that all the children of aristocratic families who have a list in the Ministry of Household Affairs and have not reported to the Ministry of War at noon tomorrow will have their official career canceled and will never be admitted again."
"Your Majesty, this may cause dissatisfaction among the clan."
"dissatisfied"
"A group of guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are not even as good as women. They are ordering all the people of our country, regardless of their status, who are willing to serve the country, to have their taxes reduced or exempted. Those who have made meritorious services will be rewarded greatly."
"Follow the decree"
Juma City Camp,
"Uncles, I have decided to launch a sneak attack tonight."
"It's great that I can finally kill myself."
"Order General Wang Dailei to stay behind"
When he heard this, he immediately grimaced, and then the generals around him burst out laughing.
"Can the Crown Prince choose someone else to stay behind?"
"Okay, let's get down to business."
hehe
I know it's a joke, the king of thunder is blooming,
"Total all of our soldiers who can fight now, there are still about 35,000 people. If I succeed in the sneak attack, the four of you will lead the army to fight out.
"Follow your orders"
"Okay, follow my arrangements"
Now everyone in Juma City admires the prince, and the four generals are also very convinced of Hanwen.
"Uncle Ji, you are commanding from the city wall. When the enemy's camp catches fire, the cattle and horses penned in Jumaling will be in chaos. They will rush out of the fence and flee north and south. When you see the cattle and horses rushing out, you throw kerosene.
"First line"
"Follow your orders"
"At the same time, Uncle Liu, you lead five thousand cavalry, charge out, line up in front of the city wall, hold up torches, beat gongs and drums, shout loudly to scare away the herds of cattle and horses, and at the same time send an order to Xuande Temple to ring the bell. Remember to wait until you see it."
Don’t give orders until there’s a big fire.”
"Follow your orders"
"Uncle Wang Dailei, when you see the cattle and horses turning around, you lead an army of 30,000 to drive them behind. Remember not to push too hard, lest you encounter a counterattack by the cattle and horses."
"Follow your orders"
"Uncle Li Polu, you are cautious. After the army leaves the city gate, you order the soldiers to close the city gate. Unless we return in triumph, we are not allowed to open the city gate at any time."
"Follow your orders"
"No, Wen'er, if this happens, you will have no way out."
"This battle is either a complete victory or death on the battlefield. I am deeply honored to be able to walk with you." Hanwen bowed deeply to the generals.
"If you don't give up, Prince Meng, we will follow you to the death."
Hanwen knelt in front of Ouyang Xue, "Concubine, if I unfortunately die in the battle, bury me next to my sister, let me stay with her all the time, and take good care of Tianjiao for me. Concubine, please forgive the child for being unfilial."
"Don't worry, I wish my son a triumphant return."
General Yan went on without stopping and met Shangguan Wuming in Changgu.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xu asked me to hand over this letter to you so that you can act according to the plan above."
"Juma City is in danger and yet you wrote it down for me. I want to see what other ideas he has come up with." Shangguan Wuming opened the silk envelope.
"Uncle Shangguan, please take covert action. When I was young, I was in the woods ten miles away from Juma City. When I was waiting for you, I saw the flames of Juma City rising into the sky. You led your troops to rush out to hunt down the wolf clan's defeated troops. It's ridiculous that Juma City was only five miles away.
With more than 10,000 people, he actually wants to defeat the 200,000 wolf army. I think he is bragging and is stupid."
"You came from Juma City and told me about the situation in the city."
"I would like to report to your lord, the morale of every soldier in the city is as high as a rainbow, and the people in the city are also extremely cooperative with the work of the Taishan Army. There are also piles of corpses of wolf soldiers outside the city, and rivers of blood. Especially when I passed by the south gate, the scene became even more...
It's scary. I heard that 30,000 wolf soldiers were ambushed and killed inside, and the death situation was extremely horrific. I took a look and found that at least 70,000 to 80,000 wolf soldiers died this time."
"Seventy to eighty thousand people, did you read it wrong?"
"My lord, I am absolutely not exaggerating. There are wolf corpses everywhere."
"It seems this kid has two brushes."
"But before I left, Prince Xu gave another order to General Wang Yuan, telling him not to land at Erlong Lake, but to go straight to Sanhe Bay and set up an ambush in the north of Tama Stream to stop the escaping wolf soldiers."
Shangguan Wuming made some gestures on the map, blocking the horse road. There was an ambush in front of him, and there were pursuers behind him. He was in a dilemma. There was nowhere to escape. It seemed that he was confident.
"Come and rest where you are, bury the pot and make rice."
"Follow your orders"
"The whole army rests and the pot is cooked"
Xiao Wu rode a horse with great speed, and finally met General Wang Yuan at Erlong Lake during the garrison.
"The last general, Xiao Wu, has met General Wang Yuan.
You are the personal bodyguard beside the prince."
"right,
"I don't know what's important here."
"The Crown Prince wants me to tell you not to land at Erlong Lake, but to go straight to Sanhe Bay and stop the escaping wolf soldiers at Tama Stream, that is, at this location."
Xiao Wu points it out on the map
"The prince also said that whether you can achieve great success in annihilating the wolf tribe this time depends on whether you can stop the wolf tribe soldiers on the north bank."
"Okay, I will make sure to complete the mission and not let the wolves cross the river one by one."
"Your Majesty asked me to follow you and assist you."
"Okay, you and I will fight side by side."
"Does the military advisor know this?"
"I don't know, this thing is as white as flour and is extremely destructive to the eyes. The soldiers who came back planned to wash it with water. Their eyes were burning and they were blind. It seems that I have to be careful about this thing tomorrow."
"More archers will be deployed under the city tomorrow, and catapults will attack the city gate with all their strength." This chapter has been completed!
