Chapter 721, Analysis of the Battle Situation at Yanxi Pass
Time will not stop because of something or someone, life must still go on.
A month has passed since the Shang Chengfeng incident.
In the past month, the most important event in the court was the battle between Yanxi Pass and Gaochang.
Da Sima led his troops from Beijing and it would take a month to reach Yanxi Pass at the fastest speed.
In other words, for Yanxi Pass, if they are just waiting for the reinforcements sent by the Holy Emperor, they have to be able to last at least two months.
Fortunately, military reports from Yanxi Pass came almost every day. The ones guarding Yanxi Pass were the Zhenxi Army led by Gu Zhenchun, the Marquis of Yong'an. After the incident at Yanxi Pass, Marquis Yong'an responded as quickly as possible and dispatched
The main force went to support.
The main force of the Zhenxi Army is stationed at Cilian Pass, which is located due west and adjacent to the Fog Kingdom. Troops are sent from Cilian to Yanxi Pass. If the speed is fast, it will only take five days to arrive.
It is said that time is life on the battlefield, but fortunately the Zhenxi Army is not a coward.
Although the defense map was stolen and handed over to the Ministry of War, it only marked the camps where the border guards were stationed in the dark.
Let's put it this way, on the border between the two countries, the overt camps are known to both countries, but secretly they will arrange several or even dozens of them. There are dozens of large and small camps that are not easy to be found along the wide border.
The key to the location of these camps is that they often rely on these hidden camps to catch them by surprise when two pairs face off.
Once these secret camps are discovered, it will naturally be very detrimental to our side, and may also directly determine the final outcome of the battle between the two sides.
But it doesn't mean that you will lose if you are discovered.
First, it depends on the strength of our army, and second, whether the rescue can come in time.
Qiu Yuanzong used epidemic warfare.
What is an epidemic war?
It is to use methods to infect the opponent with the disease, thereby greatly weakening the opponent's true strength, or even making the opponent completely unable to resist.
Qi Baoer folded his hands and said, "However, we can also see from this that Qiu Yuanzong lacks confidence in their own army.
Either he does not have enough troops at hand, or he does not trust the combat effectiveness of his troops; therefore, he does not dare to confront our Zhenxi Army head-on."
Qian Wentong nodded in agreement, "The reinforcements from Cilian Pass can arrive in two days at the earliest and within three days at the latest;
If the first team of Gaochang's army cannot break through Yanxi Pass within three days, when the reinforcements from Cilian Pass arrive, they will all be the elite of the Zhenxi Army. It cannot be said that they can drive Gaochang's army out 100%, at least they can block it.
It won't be a problem until other reinforcements arrive.
The whole of Gaochang has less than two million troops in total. It is impossible for Gaochang to suppress all the troops at Yanxi Pass; and our Qilin Kingdom has a full strength of 20 million troops, and the number of troops that can be mobilized in the west alone is two to three million.
Gaochang cannot afford to fight a war of attrition."
Fight quickly, grab and run, this is the reasonable strategy for the small country of Gaochang.
As for using the power of a small country to attack the entire Qilin country, it's not that they underestimated Gaochang, it's completely impossible.
Qilin Kingdom can crush Gaochang by raising its leg and give him a hairy blow.
It is also completely impossible for several small countries to unite to attack the Qilin Kingdom... The surrounding countries of Gaochang are all vassals of the Qilin Kingdom, except for the Fog Kingdom, which is adjacent to Qilin and Gaochang.
But on the other side of the Fog Kingdom is the Beggar Kingdom, which has such good relations with the Qilin Kingdom that it is no different from its iron buddies. And adjacent to the Qilin Kingdom, the main force of the Zhenxi Army is stationed.
Tai Shihua on the side also nodded, but what he was worried about was... "Gaochang attacked Yanxi Pass with an epidemic. Everyone knows how scary the word epidemic is, but we are afraid that the word epidemic cannot be controlled."
At that time, it will really be a matter of sending a batch of reinforcements.
Hearing his words, Qi Baoer smiled confidently, "This is the least need to worry about. It's a coincidence that Divine Doctor Shi happened to be traveling to Yanxi Pass."
Divine Doctor Shi is a guy who can't stay in one place. After the epidemic in Pingyuan Pass was resolved, he took his disciples to travel around without even returning to the capital. Isn't this catching up again?
Before the New Year, she received a letter from Yanxi Pass from Divine Doctor Feng Shi, saying that a precious medicinal plant was found in a mountain range in Yanxi Pass, but the medicinal material would not be effective until it was picked when mature. According to Divine Doctor Shi,
It is estimated that it will take about half a year for the medicinal materials to mature.
Doctor Shi said in the letter that he would live in Yanxi Pass and wait until the medicinal materials were mature to collect the medicine before returning to Beijing to see her.
For doctors like Divine Doctor Shi who have reached a certain level, fame and fortune are no longer important. Specializing in medical skills is their greatest obsession.
A precious medicinal plant that needs to mature before it can be harvested is more important to them than anything else.
So at this time, he decided to still be in Yanxi Pass.
As a doctor, if there is an epidemic around him, he cannot ignore it.
Moreover, Divine Doctor Shi has a token given to him by both the prince and her. As long as he carries one of the tokens, his status will be much more convenient, and he does not have to worry about the possibility of being unable to use his medical skills.
As soon as he heard that Divine Doctor Shi was at Yanxi Pass, Tai Shihua felt relieved, and the solemn expression on his face became much more relaxed.
Since there is no need to worry too much about the epidemic, to be honest, no matter how much they analyze it, they won't be able to help with other matters.
too far.
Even if the peregrine falcon, which is known for its speed, delivers the letter, it will still take two days to arrive.
The situation on the battlefield can change suddenly in an instant. In two days, the day lilies were cold.
While a group of people were worried about Yanxi Pass, the scene at Yanxi Pass at this moment was completely opposite to what they were worried about.
Not to mention the exaggeration of singing and dancing, but there is absolutely no scene related to war.
In Yueyang City, the city closest to Yanxi Pass, the people were doing what they were doing no differently than usual. They were coming and going on the streets, and they were living happily in their homes.
Pushing the camera further to the west, the scene inside the Yanxi Pass is still as orderly as ever; however, there are many large iron nests with firewood running around the clock inside the station. On the mountain in the distance outside the station, there are several green streaks.
The smoke never stopped.
The report submitted to the court by Yanxi Pass was based on facts, and Gao Changjun's first sudden action was successful.
The people of Gaochang were despicable and threw an unkillable monster into each dark camp. It was unkillable but would bleed when injured. If the blood splashed on people, they would be infected with the disease.
The infected person's body will become ulcerated and swollen, eventually becoming swollen to the point where his breathing is blocked and he suffocates painfully.
What's more serious is that once infected, this person will become the source of infection again.
The soldiers did not know that what was being thrown in was an unkillable monster that could contaminate the epidemic, and they did not know that the infected people would become the source of infection. Therefore, this multi-faceted raid in Gaochang caused great harm to our army.
Extremely severe damage.
There were a total of twelve secret camps in Yanxi Pass, and seven of them were wiped out overnight. Although there were surviving soldiers in the five camps, it was precisely because of these surviving soldiers that they brought the disease into the camp due to unknown reasons.
