The first thousand three hundred and twenty-four chapters of the girl's ambition
Chapter 1,324 A Girl’s Ambition
The discovery of phosphate rock finally gave Yi Xiaotian the opportunity to further improve the bomb.
But again, as he said before, there is really not much time left for them.
——
Wuchang...
Mi Fang and Shi Ren, as the leaders of Guan Yu's vanguard, have been stationed here for a long time.
Previously, because they were the first to receive help from Liu Bei from the direction of Wancheng, as the vanguard, they naturally could not just wait and see.
While Shiren rushed to Xiakou without stopping with Liu Bei's handwriting, Mi Fang had already sent some troops to go near Wancheng to find out the truth - if possible, he might be able to take advantage of the opponent's inattention and give him a warning.
Wancheng sent some defense resources...
But obviously, this is a trap.
Encircling Wei to rescue Zhao and encircling points for reinforcements are Yi Xiaotian's usual tactics... The vanguard sent by Mi Fang seemed to have disappeared. No news was sent back for three days after setting off, which made Mi Fang have to be cautious.
Therefore, even after knowing that Liu was in trouble, as a subordinate general of Guan Yu, Mi Fang, who was relatively timid in nature, finally stopped and chose to wait for Guan Yu's next order.
A few more days passed, and finally...
Shiren hurried back with tens of thousands of elite soldiers who came from Xiakou and Guan Yu's next order. As soon as he arrived in the city, he immediately informed Mi Fang of the order.
"General Guan has an order, asking you and me to lead all the troops of Jiangxia Qichun, as well as the support troops sent by him, to do our best to assist Wancheng -"
"...Full...full rescue?"
Don’t you need to worry about things in Xiakou anymore?
It’s not that Cao Jun also participated in the siege...if the entire army was easily dispatched..."
"This is the general's order. Don't question anything anymore. The general gave us nearly half of his troops, and he led his army alone to resist Cao's army who might sneak attack our rear... This is very harmful to us.
It’s quite a severe test for me!”
Shiren had just arrived in Wuchang and seemed a little anxious.
No wonder, before hearing Guan Yu's personal analysis of their situation, he just thought that as long as Guan Yu led his troops, he would be able to remove all obstacles to the army's retreat. But he didn't expect... In just a few days, the army's situation would turn out to be...
Such changes will occur.
The other party...is completely murderous this time.
Shiren was anxious, but Mi Fang was still a little worried even after hearing Shiren's explanation, which Shiren couldn't accept.
Seeing Mi Fang holding her chin and looking hesitant, Shiren stepped forward and shook Mi Fang's shoulders with an anxious look——
"Zifang! What are you hesitating about?
The lord and the military advisor are in trouble, and the general has entrusted the safety of the lord and the others to us. Now is not the time to hesitate! Announce this order quickly... You and I must gather our troops and horses and rush to Wancheng as quickly as possible.
ah!"
"No... you don't understand, Jun Yi... It is precisely because of the difficulty of the task that we cannot attack easily... It is true that the master is in trouble, and I am also worried about the safety of the master and their lives, but you don't know that during the period when you left
Time, I sent people to Wancheng to inquire about the news, but..."
Mi Fang gritted her teeth and looked quite troubled:
"I'm worried that the enemy is deceitful, and they are waiting for us to come to the rescue... If... I said if, we were ambushed on the way to Wancheng with so many troops, and when we are also restrained by the other side, who can
Are you going to rescue the lord and the others?"
"this…"
Although Mi Fang said he was cowardly, what he said now was actually quite reasonable.
After hearing this, Shiren finally calmed down a little.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, and said to Mi Fang:
"Zifang... you are right. I was rude. The general did not know the situation in Wancheng. He only entrusted us to rescue our lord and the others... Because of this, we are more cautious after all."
"That…"
Without the impulse from above, Shiren was also quite confused.
"Then what should we do?"
"Zifang, did you gain anything from the troops you sent out?"
I thought Mi Fang's former army would bring some news about the enemy, but when asked, Mi Fang shook her head.
Shiren was stunned...
Inside the huge military mansion, the two of them stood blankly on the spot. Outside the door and in the courtyard, the rain gradually started to fall, and the sky became dark, making people confused for a moment whether it was day or night.
If they knew that with their current strength, combined with the remaining armies in Anhui City, they were fully capable of breaking through the encirclement of Sun Cao's coalition forces from the front, they would not just stand there confused.
The difference in information between the two sides suddenly appeared at this moment. This is not an accidental thing. If you have had a lot of contact with Yi Xiaotian - whether it is an enemy or a friend, I am afraid that you will be able to know that Yi Xiaotian is on the battlefield.
One of the factors that I am best at exploiting——
information warfare.
It is not a new mode of war accumulated by high technology as later generations would say.
Instead, Yi Xiaotian used local materials and cooperated with various means to either enhance the efficiency of his own information communication and increase his understanding of the enemy's information, or to block the transmission of the enemy's information, causing deviations in the opponent's internal cooperation.
No matter which one it is, when placed on a large battlefield, especially in situations where transportation is not very convenient, this kind of strategy will often bring an immeasurable improvement to one's own chances of winning.
——
Meanwhile on the other side.
There was no loophole in the siege of Wancheng by Sun and Cao's coalition forces.
But as usual, their military strength is only enough to support them enough to form an encirclement - how can they have any troops to organize encirclement and reinforcement operations?
This... I have to mention the matter of a certain young girl who separated from Yi Xiaotian and others a long time ago.
——
The distance from Wuchang to Wancheng is nearly five hundred miles even in a straight line, and during this rather long distance, the terrain is at least flatter than that of Jiangdong south of the river bank.
If Mi Fang and others rushed towards Wancheng at full speed, it would have taken at least two days if only the cavalry was included. Including the infantry, it would have taken more than five days to reach Wancheng after traveling hundreds of miles a day.
So if we only look at the distance, if Wancheng wants to contact Wuchang, there will be a lot of passes through on the way.
And Yi Xiaotian laid out his tricks on this journey.
…
Songz, a small town located to the west of Lujiang River, actually has nothing special about it.
It's just that... if you want to rush to Wuchang in Qichun from Lujiang, if you don't go through the Chidao near Songz City, you will have to take a lot of detours.
Songz has the flattest terrain along this stretch.
Not far to the west of Songz, there is a ridge called Xiejiaping. This ridge belongs to the Wuling Mountains and lies across the hilly land west of Songz City.
To pass here, you have to pass through this ridge. Although Xiejiaping Ridge is not large, it is an area with quite lush vegetation. It definitely forms a very sharp contrast with the surrounding plain fields.
It is such a seemingly ordinary mountainous area, but it has become the burial place of hundreds of Liu Bei's army scouts in the past half month.
