Fifty thousand vanguard troops, in addition to the 20,000 people who were annihilated by Li Long's Qinglong Army at the beginning.
Zhao Kang's subsequent sneak attack actually only killed about half of the remaining 30,000.
Except for some deserters who didn't know where to go, the rest were gathered and integrated by Wu Xiong during the rest of the period.
"Commander, look for me."
Lin Kuohai came to the military tent. Wu Xiong put down the pen in his hand, sat behind the handsome desk and said with a smile, "General Lin is here, sit down."
"Thank you, Marshal."
Seeing him sitting down, Wu Xiong said softly, "General Lin, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. General Lin, don't take it too seriously when the vanguard army is defeated. We will ask the Qianjun to get it back in the future."
Lin Kuohai sighed and said with shame, "I will eventually let down the commander-in-chief."
"Hey, don't say that, by the way, General Lin..."
Wu Xiong said, "How did the vanguard army of 50,000 people lose? Did the Qian army use gunpowder?"
Hearing his question, Lin Kuohai showed a little confusion in his eyes and said seriously, "Commander, it's really strange at this time. There must be a new type of weapon in the Qian army that we haven't seen before. This weapon is extremely powerful." , it should be made of gunpowder.”
"Oh? There is such a thing, General Lin continued." Wu Xiong sneered in his heart, let's see how long you can keep pretending.
Hearing this, Lin Kuohai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm just guessing at this time, and I haven't seen that kind of weapon."
Wu Xiong's eyes were strange: "What? Then Zhao Kang didn't let General Lin visit that kind of weapon?"
"Not really." Lin Kuohai sighed.
Wu Xiong was even more disdainful. He had previously said that the weapons and equipment of the Ganjun were very good, and that the swords, guns and arrows were made of fine iron. They were as if they were real.
Now he said that he had never seen it before, and he was indeed a traitor!
If Lin Kuohai knew what Wu Xiong was thinking at this time, he would be furious to death.
<
br> Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Wu Xiong stopped asking any more questions and said, "General Lin, according to our current estimates, there must not be many defenders in Feiyan Pass in Youzhou. I want to attack Feiyan Pass, but I don't want to." Do you know what General Lin thinks?"
When Lin Kuohai heard this, he was extremely moved. He was indeed a handsome man. He was indeed different from those charming bitches outside.
You know that I am devoted to Dazhou!
In order to live up to Wu Xiong's trust, Lin Kuohai began to make serious plans. "Commander, the defenders of Feiyan Pass are definitely not as good as our army, but the one who is leading the army now is the national counselor Zhao Kang. We have to guard against this person."
Wu Xiong nodded, "General, continue."
Pretend! Pretend for me again!
Lin Kuohai added, "Besides, Qian Jun also has that kind of powerful weapon. After two battles, the general also roughly understands the power of this weapon."
"This weapon can cause extremely powerful damage in densely populated areas. If we attack Feiyan Pass head-on, we may not gain much advantage. Instead, we will lose troops and generals."
Wu Xiong asked, "What does General Lin think?"
Lin Kuohai's eyes revealed a sharp edge, "Lure the enemy out of seclusion!"
As expected, I couldn't hold it any longer.
Wu Xiong sneered in his heart, "General, continue."
"We can divide our forces first, lure Zhao Kang's army out of the pass, and take advantage of the empty space in his rear to lead the army to attack Feiyan Pass. We can only capture Feiyan Pass. In the end, Zhao Kang has no way to advance or retreat and can only surrender without mercy!" Lin Kuohai said!
.
Wu Xiong echoed, "It is indeed a good idea, but we still need to think about it in the long term. General Lin, there is a batch of grain and grass to be escorted next. Why don't you take a trip with General Lin?"
Lin Kuohai was stunned for a moment
Next: "Escort food and grass?"
Wu Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, this batch of grain and grass is huge and is sent to the Zuo Army."
"General Lin, you also know that since you just lost the army, it is not good for me to let you command the troops now, otherwise other generals may have criticism in their hearts."
Lin Kuohai seemed very considerate, "What the commander said is, please rest assured, commander, I will never betray the commander's trust." .??.??
"That's good."
Watching Lin Kuohai leave, Wu Xiong looked playfully, and then called his deputy.
"Handsome."
Wu Xiong said, "Lin Kuohai has fallen into the trap. Zhao Kang will definitely lead his troops to rob the grain the day after tomorrow, and Anlingquan will lead his troops to ambush him."
The deputy general nodded and said, "I will understand."
Wu Xiong nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself.
Zhao Kang, Zhao Kang, if you want to trick me, I will let you suffer the consequences this time!
Feiyan Pass.
Compared to Wu Xiong who was plotting so hard, Zhao Kang seemed very calm and relaxed, listening to the report of the person in front of him.
Zhao Kang said, "So Zhang Long has figured out the enemy's food and grass transportation route?"
The Xiaolongwei who rushed back to report nodded and said, "Reporting to Commander Zhao, it is true. General Zhang sent his subordinates down to ask for orders, do you want to take action against the enemy's food channel?"
"There's no need to rush yet."
Zhao Kang thought for a moment and said, "Go back first and tell Zhang Long not to act rashly without my command."
"I obey my orders."
Seeing the owl dragon guard leaving, Zhao Kang called Li Long, "Is there any movement by the enemy?"
Li Long smiled and shook his head, "The scouts came today to report that there was no unusual movement in the enemy's army."
Zhao Kang grinned, "He didn't come to attack us. It seems that Lin Kuohai went back to make them smaller."
My heart is up."
Li Long stopped his smile and said, "Commander, you are saying that Wu Xiong has seen through your plan?"
"That's not necessarily true. I expected the current situation." Zhao Kang said with a smile.
If Lin Kuohai is allowed to go back, the other team's coach will definitely think there is a problem as long as he is not a fool.
Maybe he will just follow his plan.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kang asked Li Long to call Nangong Long, who came over and asked, "What are the instructions from the Imperial Master?"
Zhao Kang said, "Senior Nangong, take a few scouts with you to sneak into the enemy's army and explore their movements."
Ordinary scouts can only reach within ten miles of the enemy at most, and they will be exposed if they get closer, but it is different with Nangonglong.
This guy is a third-level master. With such terrifying cultivation, ordinary soldiers will not be his opponent at all. Even if he is exposed, he can kill all the enemy troops immediately.
Nangong Long was a little embarrassed. Knowing that Zhao Kang wanted to spy on the military situation by himself, he said awkwardly, "National Master, I can't do this job. Even if I get in, I don't know what I'm going to do!"
Zhao Kang smiled, "Don't worry, I'm asking you to bring a few scouts with you. You don't know how and they don't. You just need to find out what the enemy is doing recently."
Nangong Long breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay in this case, "Follow your orders."
"Go on, be careful, and if the situation goes wrong, run away. If you are surrounded by a large army, even if you are a third-level master, you will fall if you are not careful."
Nangong Long smiled, "National Master, don't worry."
After walking out of the lobby, Zhao Kang went outside and looked at the setting sun in the sky. His thoughts couldn't help but drift away, and he didn't know what was going on over there in Jingguo.
What he is facing here is nothing but Zhou's 300,000 troops, with 25 cannons. No matter what happens, he can defend Feiyan Pass.
But Jingguo is facing Xiao Feiyu, so he hopes Yuanjiang County will move faster.
