There are three major things in life that make every day seem like years - waiting for someone, fishing, and riding an oxcart.
Chentian looked at the green cow in front of the cart and swung its tail from time to time, and thought he could add another thing, that is, there were people nagging next to him while riding in the bullock cart.
"Lord God, look!"
"There are so many people!"
"Wow!"
"Five thousand soldiers and horses can't even see the end at a glance!"
"Isn't that battle of millions of people endless? It's so spectacular!" Yang Niang was lying on the car window, and the morning sun shining through the curtains filled her face, illuminating an expression full of surprise.
"Yeah." Chen Tian responded without raising his head. His eyes fell on the map of Kanyu in front of him, and he had a lot of thoughts.
After the Battle of Zishui, Yin Jianyuan's leadership must be cautious, and the dragon and tiger cavalry must not be dispatched easily.
Because Yin Jianyuan's biggest reliance in guarding Cangxi's northern region is this dragon-tiger cavalry, even if only one-third is lost, the morale of the army will be shaken.
In short.
What we have to face now is an army of 600,000 servants.
Although these soldiers and horses are a mob, their numbers are too huge. If they cannot effectively deter them, there will be an endless tug-of-war.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
You know, Yongtai City has only 20,000 troops and horses, which cannot withstand the consumption.
Now when leading the Nanxiang army out of the city to fight, the biggest strategic consideration is to hold on to the inn until Li Jie can completely open the tunnel and provide a stable supply of spiritual stones.
Otherwise, Gui Gen's mercenaries and Wang Cang's soldiers are just puppets with a body of gold and stone.
At the same time, the Nanxiang Army has not been truly trained on the battlefield and is considered a new recruit. It is not yet known how it will fare in a head-on encounter with the enemy.
But having said that, I have now reached the front line, and I have a good grasp of the situation. Even if there is an accident, I can handle it quickly.
According to the news from Ghost Lantern, the inn outside Gusu was finally targeted by Pingmuguan, so this part of the attention had to be transferred quickly no matter what.
But what kind of commotion is going to happen this time?
It was obvious that Yongtai Navy was in trouble, and Yin Jianyuan was not stupid at all. After being deceived, he immediately mobilized more than 10,000 craftsmen in Gusu City to lock the river across the river, and from time to time he would send fire ships to attack wantonly.
There are many bunkers on both sides of the river, equipped with crossbows, and Yongtai Navy cannot approach them at all.
In addition, the Yongtai Navy has not fully recovered after the last arduous and tragic victory. Now it only has the strength to protect the waterway and is unable to launch a counterattack.
Chen Tian rubbed his temples and decided to focus this dispatch on the South Wing Army, first to dampen the vigor of the servant army.
"Godly Lord."
"Um."
"It's so boring."
"Then what do you want to do?" Chen Tian rolled up the map of Kanyu and casually opened the official document that was just presented, but was held down by a delicate hand.
Looking up again, he saw Yang Niang approaching his eyes with a smile, her face overflowing with charm, and her face was full of spring light that was better than the peach blossoms in March.
Chen Tian calmly took her hand away and tucked her half-revealed white collar: "There are many people, don't make trouble."
"No!" Yang Niang lay down in his arms, then put her arms around his neck and held on tightly, "There are just a lot of people outside, it's very quiet in the car."
While pressing the sharp corner of the table, Chen Tian raised his hand to support the back of her head, and couldn't help but smile: "You're not fed enough, are you? Your cultivation level is already the first among the fairies of grass, trees and flowers, why do you still need it?"
"Who has too much cultivation?" Yang Niang smiled even more, "Besides, I just like the god!"
With Nephrite in his arms, Chen Tian didn't have much thought. He just stroked her long hair that was as loose as a silk curtain: "Get up quickly, we'll get down to business soon."
"Where is it? I didn't see it..."
Before Yang Niang finished speaking, the sound of heavy footsteps came from behind the car, and Weng said: "Commander! News from the vanguard scouts!"
Chen Tian patted Yang Niang's thigh and walked out of the car tent with his hands behind his back. The large banner with the word Yongtai behind him was fluttering in the wind.
This six-wheeled tent is magnificent, more than three feet high, and has two floors. It has a lot of furnishings, and there is even a terrace halfway up, surrounded by railings.
It's like a movable palace.
Only Qingniu could pull this weight and volume, but its speed happened to be in sync with Shiziying's large baggage army.
"What news?"
"Yin Fei's troops seem to be intending to intercept the main grain route and stationed at Daigui Mountain. The Nanxiang Army will not be able to attack it for a long time!"
"We had a fight? How was the battle going?" Chen Tian nodded slightly.
I felt that my deduction was indeed correct. Yin Jianyuan was indeed much more cautious in using his troops now, and he began to fight steadily.
"There is a stalemate. According to the instructions of the Lord of God, the Nanxiang Army only harassed the enemy without entanglement." The messenger thought for a while and said, "But Yin Fei, with more than a thousand cavalry, is still stationed in the dense forest, and several charges have failed.
was repulsed."
The cavalry mostly charges on the flat ground, giving it a one-sided advantage over the infantry, but it is difficult to form a formation in dense woods. So what is Yin Fei's intention?
Chen Tian was startled.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the origin.
Chen Tian asked the messenger again whether the shogunate in front could give a reasonable analysis. As a result, the soldier scratched his head and said that the shogunate was also puzzled, so he asked him to emphasize the news and ask for advice.
However, Chen Tian spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."
"Uh--" The messenger was speechless.
Chen Tian smiled: "I'm not a god, how can I guess all the enemy's intentions? Let's do this, order the Nanxiang army to rely on the dense forest and not move rashly, and pay more attention."
"at the same time."
"The official road leading to Gusu City will be repaired as soon as possible. The faster the better. Don't worry about the dragon and tiger cavalry taking advantage of it to launch an attack."
"Follow your orders!" The ordering soldier transferred to a fast horse and rushed to the front line quickly.
Watching the figure walking away, Chen Tian smiled meaningfully. Just now he was worried that he couldn't find a place to make a big fuss, but now someone happened to come to his door.
Yin Fei was newly defeated and had a strong resentment. He probably planned to launch a strong attack on the supply camp regardless of the terrain. He wanted to cut off the grain road, but he never thought about attacking from both front and rear?
This cavalry has sent horses.
Chen Tian quickly sorted out the messy situation, his eyes resting on the strong man next to the car tent. These two soldiers were the brown bear monsters that Liu Wenhui had previously recruited.
After getting along for a period of time, he has completely attached himself to Yongtai City, and is even regarded as his son by Liu Wenhui.
Now that the army is on the attack, the two of them, in the name of Liu Yintang's military doctor, take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy their military exploits.
"...Xiong Da?" Chen Tian felt that Liu Wenhui's naming skills were really not that good, and it took him a long time to shout out.
"exist!"
"Dai Guishan has been unable to be captured for a long time. Do you have a good plan?"
"Ah?" Xiong Da was stunned, "There is no good plan! But I have the strength! Whoever the god asks me to beat? I will beat him!"
"Well, you and Xiong Er will be the vanguard. As long as you win, I will give you two names."
Liu Wenhui was indeed kind to the two of them, but due to his status, he had been unable to register them. After all, they were also prisoners of war in Yongtai City.
If Chen Tian bestows a name on them, it means that they recognize their illustrious military exploits and become ordinary people.
This temptation, to the two brothers Xiong and Da, is like a hundred jars of honey, making them salivate.
"No problem!" Xiong Da punched his chest, making a thumping sound, "How many manpower will the Lord give to our two brothers?"
"It's just you two."
"Huh? Just the two of us?" Xiong Da was stunned, and his furry face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter melon.
Xiong Er took the lead and stepped forward: "How many people are there on the other side?"
"Not many." Chen Tian shook his head, "Only eight thousand."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and Xiong Da even cupped his hands and said:
"Report to the God of Enlightenment."
"Tell me." "Actually, it's pretty good for us to call each other Xiong Daxiong Er——"
