"We must shorten the march time and take advantage of the opportunity to break Zhang Mancheng's troops before they are deployed on the defense line!"
"Like a sharp knife, it tore a hole in Chaoyang County and penetrated into the hinterland of Nanyang!"
A bright light flashed in Qin Jie's eyes and he said solemnly, "Immediately send an order to the generals of other armies and ask them to travel overnight to cooperate with our army's actions!"
"Yes! Lord Prefect!"
The generals responded.
As the order was transmitted, the army led by Qin Jie began to advance rapidly.
The original plan to set up camp was postponed.
As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than speed.
This time, the strategic arrangement made by Zhang Mancheng was really difficult for Qin Jie to understand.
But it doesn't matter if I don't understand. I was able to use the intelligence system I built to get the accurate movements of Zhang Mancheng's army, and I found this to be an excellent opportunity.
This is different from the ancient battlefield.
There are all kinds of powerful counselors and warlocks in this world. They can use some means to gain insight into the enemy's marching movements and arrangements, and they can also make strategic plans to confuse the enemy.
Of course, the most fundamental thing is still inseparable from intelligence information.
And because of the participation of players, it makes it easier and faster for them to obtain information, as well as with extremely high accuracy.
It can be said that there is me in you and you in me.
Even if it is the movements of Qin Jie's army, Zhang Mancheng must be well aware of it.
Therefore, both sides are basically fighting for hard power.
It's not that things like raids, lurking, etc. are impossible to succeed, it's just that the probability of success is not high.
And once there is any important strategy, it is best to avoid players, so the success rate will be higher.
The player group is a breakthrough point.
It's just that the players' strength is getting higher and higher, and it's becoming more and more important.
The indigenous forces can be said to have a love-hate relationship with the player group.
However, it cannot be separated from the players.
After all, even if you hate the players' power in your heart, you can't reject them openly.
Otherwise, players will not tolerate them and directly betray and join the hostile forces, which will be very miserable.
Players naturally know this.
They even know the attitude of the indigenous forces towards them.
But not many people care.
After all, players don’t lack love in their hearts, they need to be recognized by others.
All they care about is profit.
As long as there are enough benefits, everything is acceptable.
What they didn't know was that after Qin Jie issued the order, a million-strong army was rapidly advancing towards the canyon area between the two counties.
It has been searched several times by countless pioneer spies, but no enemies or dangerous places have been detected.
But suddenly a cavalry force of 100,000 people appeared.
"Lord, this army is the main force of the Nanyang government army!"
"If the information is correct, the new Nanyang Governor and the main officials and generals are all here!"
"And the military strength is about the same as the intelligence, one million troops!"
Li Cunxiao smiled, "And this army is an army of government forces, and no players are involved!"
The reason for choosing this army to attack.
First, the number of troops is the largest among the many government armies, and it is also the main force.
As long as it is defeated, the government army will lose a large part of its combat effectiveness, and the subsequent solution will be even simpler.
Second, there are Qin Jie and other major officials and generals in the army. If these people are killed, the Nanyang government army will definitely be leaderless.
The third thing is an unexpected surprise, that is, there is no player power in the army.
This is probably because Qin Jie acted separately from the player's army in order to prevent the players from leaking intelligence information, or to prevent the player's army from affecting him.
This also just gave Qin Yuan a good opportunity.
If this raid succeeds in wiping out the entire army, then the news of their arrival can continue to be concealed without being leaked.
After all, the army under Qin Yuan's command is so iconic.
Even if some players don't recognize him, as long as he takes a photo or video and posts it on the game's official website, a large number of players will recognize him.
By then, the news of Qin Yuan's support for Nanyang will inevitably be leaked.
This also affected Qin Yuan's strategic plan in Nanyang to a certain extent.
"That's right, let's start with them today!"
"This battle requires a quick decision and the enemy must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
"Prevent any enemies from escaping!"
Qin Yuan looked down and saw a series of black spots moving rapidly.
Soon, the front army had entered the canyon.
Since Qin Jie had been paying attention to the movements of Zhang Mancheng's army and knew that they had not sent troops to stop the attack, he marched without any scruples.
Of course, it is inevitable to send spies to explore the route forward.
It's just that Qin Yuan learned a concealment skill from Yang Ming, and combined with the army's formation, even the cavalry can completely hide their whereabouts.
Therefore, the enemy did not discover their whereabouts at all.
Otherwise, Qin Jie would not have ordered his army to advance so recklessly.
After all, the army is at its weakest when it is marching.
Moreover, the army in front and behind stretched for more than ten miles and numbered as many as one million. It was a big project to convey the orders, and sometimes it was even difficult to accurately transmit them to the lower-level troops.
"Yes, my lord!"
Li Cunxiao responded, and then he began to issue military orders to his generals and conduct combat command arrangements.
Even though Li Cunxiao is not a real commander, his commander value is not low.
In addition to his great personal combat effectiveness, his military command skills are not bad.
It's just that there have always been peerless commanders like Bai Qi and Han Xin around him, so there is no need for Li Cunxiao's participation in strategic command.
And when he leads an army alone, it won't be the same as before.
It is also necessary to assume the responsibility of commander in chief of an army.
He is not a reckless man who only knows how to shout and kill.
Although the 100,000 troops they led were very powerful in combat.
It can be said that they completely crushed the million-strong army led by Qin Jie.
However, if they can carry out a good combat arrangement, they can establish a better advantage, thereby destroying the enemy faster, and at the same time reducing their own casualties.
In addition, it was Qin Yuan's request to prevent the enemy from escaping.
This is also a small problem.
After all, it is not difficult to kill the enemy.
What they fear is not that the enemy will fight them to the end, but that the enemy will start to flee after realizing that the situation is not good.
In this case, it will be more troublesome to pursue.
After all, once the enemy flees, they will be aimless and spread out in all directions with no rules at all.
Also, their army in total is only 100,000.
After all, the number of enemy troops is as many as one million.
Once a large-scale escape occurs, a considerable number of enemy soldiers will be able to escape successfully.
And in this case, the news is likely to leak out.
"The canyon here is about ten miles long!"
"We need the enemy's rear troops. After they all enter the canyon, we will start to close the net and launch an attack!"
"The blood-clothed guards are responsible for heading to the eastern part of the canyon to completely block the enemy's retreat. Not even a mosquito can make him fly out of the canyon!"
"When all the enemy troops enter the canyon, then the vanguard must have passed through the canyon. This part of the army is expected to be around 200,000!"
"The Qinglong Yulin Army is responsible for dealing with these enemies, and no one can be spared!"
"In addition, the Flying Tiger Cavalry blocks the western part of the canyon and cuts off the enemy's connection!"
"Attack in front and behind, and wipe out all the troops in the canyon."
Li Cunxiao issued military orders one after another.
In fact, we are not worried about the offensive aspect. The only worry is to prevent the enemy troops from escaping.
However, under Li Cunxiao's arrangement, the possibility that the enemy could escape was extremely slim.
And as long as they can't escape, they can only stay and fight Qin Yuan's army to the death.
When it comes to combat effectiveness, Qin Yuan has never been afraid.
Time passes bit by bit.
Under Qin Jie's order, the one million government troops acted at an increasing speed instead of slowing down.
This also increases the burden on army soldiers.
Many soldiers traveled long distances for a whole day. They thought they could rest and adjust, but unexpectedly they were ordered to continue marching at a fast pace, which almost exhausted all their physical strength.
Today's soldiers are supported by willpower.
For most armies, even a forced march will not leave the soldiers in their weakest state.
After all, the battlefield changes rapidly, especially after a full-scale war breaks out, and the enemy may not necessarily be waiting for them on the predetermined battlefield.
There may be interceptions on the way, etc.
It's just that Qin Jie relied too much on intelligence and was very confident, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this method.
After analyzing the situation between the enemy and ourselves, the generals under his command also felt that this was the most efficient way to march.
Especially being able to attack Zhang Mancheng before his defense arrangements were completed, thus quickly breaking the deadlock that had lasted for more than a month.
Reversing the state of inferiority of the government army.
Unless Zhang Mancheng has magic weapons and gods descending from the sky, he may cause heavy damage to the government army led by Qin Jie.
call!
Qin Jie rode his horse through the long and narrow canyon passage.
And through this narrow valley, they entered the scope of Chaoyang County.
"If I were Zhang Mancheng, I would definitely send troops to station here, or lay an ambush, and I would definitely be able to severely damage our army!"
"It's a pity that Zhang Mancheng spent too many troops to attack Xinye before. Now he can only reduce the defense line with only the troops under his command!"
"Otherwise, it won't be so easy for us to break through this level!"
Qin Jie couldn't help but sigh. "Sure enough, he was born in a grassland. Although he has some temporary luck, luck will not favor him for the rest of his life!"
The words were even full of disparagement towards Zhang Mancheng and other Yellow Turban Army soldiers.
Qin Jie also came from a wealthy family and had an extraordinary life experience, otherwise he would not have assumed the post of governor so quickly.
Regarding the world situation and the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Mancheng did not pay attention to him at all.
In the Yellow Turban camp, there were only two people who could attract Qin Jie's attention.
That is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiao, who was able to single-handedly establish Taiping Taoism and win over countless believers.
After more than ten years of operation, he secretly cultivated countless armies and founded the Yellow Turban Army.
If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty's destiny was not over, and Zhang Jiao's destiny was about to die, there might really be a chance to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty.
As for the other person, it is Qin Yuan.
If it weren't for Qin Yuan's appearance, the current situation would have been one-sided.
The imperial camp completely crushed the Yellow Turban camp.
Especially the Jizhou battlefield.
If the defeat in that battle had not greatly damaged the confidence of the imperial camp, and they were worried about the threat of Qin Yuan's millions of elites, I am afraid that the imperial camp would have had a decisive battle with Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army.
Once the Jizhou battlefield is successfully captured, the Yellow Turban Army in various places will not be a concern, and it will only be a matter of time before they are exterminated.
Boom boom boom!
However, not long after Qin Jie finished speaking, he felt a deafening sound coming from his ears.
The ground was shaking violently like an earthquake.
"What's going on?"
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
Soon, they discovered the culprit.
In front of them, a large group of cavalry suddenly surged out and surrounded them.
The mounts of this cavalry are very unique in shape. They are all green dragon horses. These mounts are rarer than any BMW or tiger.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is the soldiers riding the Azure Dragon Horse, the Azure Dragon Forest Army.
This is an epic combat unit!
It is also the only epic-level unit under Qin Yuan's command.
The combat effectiveness of every soldier is at least level six.
Even some Qinglong Yulin soldiers fought in the north and south, and after experiencing many wars, their realm had already broken through to the seventh level.
Coupled with the attribute bonuses of epic-level units, as well as various powerful military formations, skills, etc., the combat effectiveness can be said to be unparalleled.
But when the Qinglong Yulin Army rushed into the vanguard of the government army, it was like a torrent, quickly wiping out a large number of government soldiers.
With a devastating crushing force, the government army's camp was torn apart.
In just a short while, thousands of soldiers fell under the iron cavalry of the Qinglong Forest Army.
"This is the Green Dragon Imperial Forest Army!"
"The army under Qin Yuan's command!?"
"Impossible, how could they appear here?"
Qin Jie and others were shocked.
You know, Qin Yuan's Qinglong Forest Army is famous all over the world, and not only his Qinglong Forest Army, Tiger and Leopard War Cavalry, Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry, etc. are known to the world.
Although Qin Jie has not seen it with his own eyes, he has also seen some portraits obtained from players.
From the painting, we have seen the appearance of several powerful combat units under Qin Yuan's command.
Therefore, he recognized it at a glance as the Green Dragon Imperial Forest Army.
Although the number is not large, only 10,000.
But the combat effectiveness is very terrifying.
It is said that due to the characteristics of the Green Dragon Imperial Forest Army, after many wars, no soldiers died.
No matter how brutal the war was, there was no attrition.
Every time soldiers go through a war, their strength becomes more and more powerful.
Nowadays, one of the reasons why all forces are afraid of Qin Yuan is because he has many powerful and invincible armies!
However, Qin Yuan should be in Guangzong City, confronting the imperial army led by Lu Zhi.
How come you have the time to come to Nanyang City?
