Along the way, Zhu Tianjiang did not expect that the road would be so difficult. The place where Zhan Ling was hiding was not an official road at all. In order to prevent the scouts sent by Zhou Yantian from discovering it, Zhan Ling found a rugged and dangerous place where 20,000 troops were hidden.
.Fortunately, Zhu Er's secret son also followed the spirit-telling army and maintained contact with the outside world at all times. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhu Tianjiang to find the 20,000 Uzbek troops.
In a temporary sleeping tent set up in a dense forest in the mountains, Zhu Tianjiang happily pressed his face against Zhan Ling's belly.
"Ling'er, do you think this child can call him daddy now?"
"Fuck you, that's not a mountain monster anymore." Zhan Ling shyly pointed at Zhu Tianjiang's forehead. She knew that Zhu Tianjiang was looking for an excuse to have some intimacy with her.
"I am also about to be a father. No, you can't participate in tonight's battle. The most important thing is to protect our child." Zhu Tianjiang raised his head and looked at Zhan Ling and said seriously.
"Look at how nervous you are. It's still early. I'm ten months pregnant and I've just started~!" Zhan Ling said with a gentle smile.
"That's not okay. Anyway, you can only follow me tonight and you are not allowed to charge into battle."
"By the way, how are you going to fight tonight? Are you going to attack by force or send people to sneak into the city first?" When he got down to business, the spirit divination became serious.
Zhu Tianjiang looked outside the tent and said, "Let's go! Let's see if Zhu Yi and the others are back. The terrain here is more complicated than I thought. We'll wait until they finish exploring the terrain." Zhu Tianjiang said, pulling the spirit divination.
His hand walked out of the sleeping tent.
On a smooth rock in the mountains, Lin Feng Daniu was also waiting for the arrival of Zhu Yi and Zhu Si. As soon as Zhu Tianjiang arrived at the Zhan Ling camp, he ordered the two men to sneak into Guishan City quietly and carefully check the situation in the city.
Touch it again.
Zhan Ling had already sent people to survey the terrain in the past few days. This time, Zhu Yi and Zhu Yi entered the city in disguise to see if they could bring a group of brothers to sneak in in advance. Before sunset, Zhu Yi and Zhu Si rode horses.
Returned to the camp.
Zhu Yi and the others not only entered the city, but also went to the rear city gate to observe. Zhu Si simply drew a few sketches and placed them together with the Dafeng War Department drawings.
Zhu Si looked at Zhu Tianjiang and said, "Sir, this Guishan City looks a bit troublesome. No wonder Zhou Yantian chose this location. You see, the terrain of Guishan City is long and narrow and is built against the canyon. In addition to the main entrance and the back entrance, there are two sides on both sides.
It is an abyss, and the army cannot enter at all. In this way, Zhou Yantian can save a large number of defensive troops. The most critical point is that large organic troops cannot go around the back of the city. In case Zhou Yantian fails, he can go through the rear city gate.
We retreated into the canyon. Zhu Yi and I took a look. Those canyons are crisscrossed. It is estimated that Zhou Yantian has already discovered the way to where. Once we enter hastily, we will probably get lost in the canyon."
"How is the city defense going? Can you bring someone in?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
Zhu Yi shook his head, "The security was very tight, and Zhu Er and I spent a lot of money to get some accommodation. However, horses and weapons were never allowed to be brought into the city, and they were confiscated directly if found. Fortunately, we didn't bring weapons at the time.
It cost the city gate officer two hundred taels of silver to allow him to store it temporarily. Even if a hundred people can get in, it won't work without weapons."
Zhu Tianjiang frowned. It seemed that it would not work to sneak people in in advance. Zhu Tian lowered his head and looked at several different maps. The map drawn by the Ministry of War of Dafeng Dynasty was really cheating. It looked like a landscape painting, which was different from the actual map.
The terrain simply doesn't match.
"Zhu Yi, how strong is the main wall of the main gate?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"They are all made of rocks and are very solid." Zhu Yi understood that Zhu Tianjiang seemed to want to use the Thunder Cannon Cart, so he said helplessly.
Zhu Tianjiang sighed, "Damn it, it seems our sky thunder can't collapse the city wall. Zhou Yantian, an old bastard, has made the turtle shell quite strong."
Zhu Tianjiang looked at the sketches drawn by Zhu Si depressedly. He thought of several plans along the way. But during the on-site inspection, none of them were used. On the map drawn by the Dafeng War Department, there was a river on one side of Guishan City. Zhu Tianjiang originally wanted to
I borrowed a raft and swam across it. Who knew that what was paralyzing was an abyss? This would be a trap.
"Tiansheng, you don't have to worry. If we really attack hard, our troops may not be able to get in. At worst, it's better to drive Zhou Yantian into the canyon than to let him hide in Guishan City. There is a famous saying on the grassland,
Only by letting the rabbit out of the nest can the goshawk hunt him. No matter how long he hides in the canyon, he will need food and grass supplies, otherwise he will be trapped to death sooner or later." Zhan Ling said with relief when he saw Zhu Tianjiang was unable to do anything.
In the past few days, Zhan Ling has been thinking about how to fight this battle. What the Uzbek army is good at is fighting in the open. Fighting like this on the city is the weakness of the Uzbek people. If it doesn't work, Zhan Ling is going to join Dafeng's troops and fight.
We have to use manpower to capture this city.
Zhu Tianjiang shook his head, "The battle still has to be fought, but this is not the way to fight. We can't do a loss-making business. Since I, Zhu Tianjiang, have mobilized the army at Hukou Pass with military talismans, I won't be able to turn back if I don't capture Zhou Yantian."
Unable to communicate."
Zhu Tianjiang said, placing a few stones, "Look, Guishan City and Coba City are less than a hundred miles apart, and they can be reached in less than two hours if you work hard. Zhou Yantian, an old thief, is very shrewd. He deliberately
Fifteen cities were abandoned, leaving only the small city of Coba. The two cities echo each other and can support each other at any time. At present, the Uzbek army is our secret weapon. If Wen Ruhai's army comes to attack Guishan City
If so, what do you think Coba City will do?"
Zhu Yi's heart moved, "Yes, the Hukou Pass army is attacking Guishan City, and Zhou Yantian will never miss this good opportunity. Coba City will receive the news once the flying pigeon message is sent, and when their rescue troops arrive,
It is the time when the army at Hukou Pass is exhausted from attacking the city. When Zhou Yantian attacks from both inside and outside, Fan Rong's disastrous defeat outside Coba City will happen again."
Zhu Tianjiang nodded approvingly, "It seems that we have made a change. Let Qin Weiwei's army come to pretend to attack Guishan City, and Zhan Ling's troops are waiting for the reinforcements from Coba City halfway. Even if we can't take Guishan City, first
It would be good to pull out his fangs. Without the restraint of Coba City, we can trap Guishan City with absolute force. Then we can find a few secret passages from the canyon, and I will not believe that there is no entrance to the city."
"Tiansheng, why bother with this? Let's attack Guishan City directly. Wouldn't it be easier for the Hukou Pass army to ambush Coba City halfway?" Zhan Ling asked strangely. You must know that the two armies have to adjust their defenses to each other.
, this movement is not small.
"No! The equipment structure of the Wu tribe is different from that of Dafeng. Zhou Yantian will not let Coba City send troops unless he sees Qin Wei's generals appear. In this way, our hidden strength will be exposed."
After Zhu Tianjiang explained, he looked at the sky and said, "It's still too late now. I asked Zhu Er to order the army to set off at midnight. Xia Qing rode over on a fast horse. We should be able to reach Wenruhai Barracks before midnight. Xia Qing, take my royal gift immediately.
Jinbi told Uncle Wen that they did not need to keep anyone behind and brought all the troops over. However, a complete empty city must be left behind, and the tents and fences were not allowed to be demolished. Our two armies will meet halfway, and I will tell Wen the detailed plan at that time.
Uncle and Qin Wei." Zhu Tianjiang immediately ordered Xia Qing to rush outside Coba City.
Zhu Tianjiang originally asked Wen Ruhai's army to leave 5,000 people to guard the empty camp. Since he wanted to lure Ma Wei out of Coba City, Zhu Tianjiang decided not to even leave 5,000 people and let Qin Wei bring them all to deal with Zhou Yan.
God. Otherwise, Zhu Tianjiang would also be worried that Wen Ruhai's troops were insufficient, so Zhou Yantian wouldn't let Zhou Yantian take the opportunity to eat him.
Xia Qing rode his fast horse on the road first. Zhan Ling began to order the army to set up camp and pack their belongings. He also notified the captains of each team to let the horses have a good meal. The soldiers went into battle lightly, and everything they needed to throw away was
Throw away.
This time Zhu Tianjiang did not let Zhu Si follow him, but ordered him to take his brothers and artillery carriages to wait for the arrival of Wen Ruhai's army. Zhu Tianjiang believed in the fighting ability of the Uzbek soldiers, but was worried that Qin Wei's side did not have enough combat power.
Therefore, he wanted to leave behind Zhu Si's thousand elite troops and the artillery carriage in case of unexpected events. Before leaving, Zhu Tianjiang specifically told Zhu Si that if Zhou Yantian dared to show his face, it would be best to kill him with one cannon.
The sun was setting in the west, and darkness enveloped the earth. The weather in the north suddenly became extremely cold. Zhu Daguan refused to let Zhan Ling ride a horse, and forcibly pulled her into his carriage. Zhan Ling entered the carriage tent, and Lin
Feng was embarrassed to watch the young couple making out, and would rather ride a horse than stay in the car.
"Tiansheng~ Master uncle is still injured, which is not good." Zhan Ling said in a low voice.
"Then what can you do? It's a bit cramped to seat three people in this car. You are pregnant now, so you can't bear the cold. Besides, I can't go riding. You and Master should stay in the car. Just in case something happens in the future.
Our son looks like Master, so where can I go to reason with him?" Zhu Tianjiang said jokingly.
"Screw you, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful~ I'll beat your son." Zhan Ling blushed and twisted Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Tianjiang stretched out his hand and gently hugged Zhan Ling, and the two of them snuggled together affectionately. Even though the two of them had not known each other for a long time, this era was not like the previous life, where girls were very simple. Once they identified their husband,
He can even take out his heart. Even a woman like Yelu Doha immediately became sincere after identifying with a big cow.
The team was not marching very fast. Just after midnight, Zhu Yi, who was at the front of the team, gave the order to stop. When the army marches at night, the leader of each square usually lights a torch to guide the direction and formation. Zhu Yi
Seeing the light appearing in front, it was probably Wen Ruhai's army arriving.
The scouts sent word that the army at Hukou Pass was ahead. Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianjiang quickly put on his horse and ran forward with Zhu Yi.
Zhu Er, Qin Wei and others also discovered Zhu Tianjiang's team, including Wen Ruhai, who also reluctantly walked out of the carriage tent. Before Qin Wei and Fan Rong could pass by, they saw two fast horses running over.
"Uncle Wen, this is Tianjiang. It's cold outside. Why did you get off the car?" Zhu Tianjiang jumped off his horse and hurriedly ran to Wen Ruhai.
"Tianjiang, your kid is finally here." Wen Ruhai looked at Zhu Tianjiang and was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Even though Zhu Tianjiang usually did not have military power, Wen Ruhai trusted Zhu Tianjiang's strategy very much.
Talent.
"The last general Qin Wei and Fan Rong have met you, sir." Qin Wei and Fan Rong clasped fists and said.
Zhu Tianjiang is now an important official in the imperial court, and his official rank is higher than that of Wen Ruhai. The two of them must behave like subordinates.
"You two brothers, don't be polite. Neither of you are outsiders. Time is tight, so let's keep the story short. After we capture Coba City, I will personally lead the army to join you."
As Zhu Tianjiang spoke, he explained the detailed battle plan. He also repeatedly told Qin Wei not to attack rashly, but only to bluff a few rounds with catapults, and then send crossbowmen to shoot. Zhu Tianjiang
What’s important is not the record, but just letting them show off. But the most important thing is that the officers and soldiers in Guishan City must find that they have gathered all their troops outside the city. They may even put on an aura of fighting to the death.
It made Zhou Yantian feel that Qin Wei was planning to go all out and fight for his Guishan City. Whether they can attract Ma Wei from Coba City depends on the performance of Qin Wei and the others!
