Shangguan Yuanrang strode into the Chinese army's tent from the outside. Seeing that there was tea on the desk in front of Liang Qi, he didn't ask any questions. He picked it up and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "I just collected it."
The news reached Yancheng that Du Ji’s envoy came to Yancheng again and asked our country for an armistice.”
"Oh!" Liang Qi looked at the map and responded absently without raising his head.
"Aren't you curious about the outcome of the negotiation?" Shangguan Yuanrang asked curiously with wide eyes.
"What good are the words of a dead person?" Liang Qi muttered.
Shangguan Yuanrang was startled and asked: "How did you know that the king killed the envoy Du Ji?"
Liang Qi finally raised his head, glanced at Shangguan Yuanrang with a half-smile, and said: "Under the current situation, with the king's temper, he will definitely kill the envoy to show the king's determination in this battle!"
Shangguan Yuanrang curled his lips and sat down opposite Liang Qi. While pouring tea, he said: "You guessed it right, the king did kill the envoy Du Ji. He also ordered our army to fight quickly and strike as many blows as possible.
The main force of Du Ji's army." After a pause, he asked again: "What are your plans for the battle at hand?"
Liang Qi was silent for a moment. Shangguan Yuanrang immediately added: "You definitely won't do a frontal attack."
"Haha!" Liang Qi laughed and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"You have always been cunning, and you like to use tricks in battles. Unless you have no choice, you will not confront the enemy head-on, not to mention that there is still a tough battle ahead." Shangguan Yuanrang analyzed mercilessly while drinking tea.
Regarding Shangguan Yuan Rang's comments, Liang Qi accepted it with a smile and said quietly: "If I can get victory at the minimum price, I can do anything!" After a pause, he added: "Yuan Rang still remembers Chuan Zhen.
What tactics did the coalition forces use to break through the Ba Pass?"
Shangguan Yuanrang was stunned at first, then shocked again, and said in horror: "You want to use plague to destroy the city?"
Liang Qi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Unless you have a better way."
Shangguan Yuanrang frowned and said, "It is reported that there are still more than 20,000 Tia people in the town."
Liang Qi lowered his head, looked at the map and said, "What does their life and death have to do with our army?"
After all, Shangguan Yuanrang was a ranger, and he still had the boldness and righteousness of a ranger. He was different from a cold-blooded orthodox general like Liang Qi. He shook his head like a rattle and said: "I don't agree with the use of plague.
This tactic is too inhumane, and if it is not controlled well, it will inflict harm on our soldiers and may eventually spread to the entire Tia."
Liang Qi held his chin, as if he was thinking carefully about Shangguan Yuanrang's words. After a long silence, he spoke: "Although the defense of Val Town is weak, the defenders number 30,000, and they are all elite. Its commander
He is also the brother of Marshal Du Jijun, which shows how much Du Jijun attaches great importance to this place. If our army attacks by force, even if we can finally capture the town of Vaal, the losses will be huge. How can we fight the main force of Du Jijun next?"
Shangguan Yuanrang remained silent. Val Town was very small, but similarly, a small town was also more conducive to defense. With 30,000 elites guarding this small town, it was really not easy to capture. He scratched his hair in embarrassment and asked
: "Liang Qi, isn't there any other better way?"
Liang Qi smiled slightly and said: "There is a way, but..." He deliberately did not continue talking in the middle of the sentence.
Shangguan Yuanrang is impatient and is most afraid of being offended. He said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, you should finish it in one breath!"
"That's it." Liang Qi spread the map in his hand on the table, pointed at it and said seriously: "Our army also has another tactic, which is to bypass Val Town and go straight to Tia City, but then besiege Tia City.
Du Ji's army has more than 100,000 people. It is difficult for our army to defeat it with just one blow. However, if we cannot defeat the opponent, our army will be in danger of losing supplies and even suffer from Du Ji's army.
The base army’s front and rear pincer attacks.”
"Yeah!" Shangguan Yuanrang nodded while listening to the analysis, agreeing with Shangguan Yuanrang's statement, "So?"
"So, if our army wants to bypass the town of Val and go straight to the city of Tia, it must get in touch with the defenders in the city of Tia. I want to know exactly how many troops there are in the city of Tia and what their combat strength is.
How, and then estimate whether there is a possibility of success by integrating internal and external forces."
"Yeah! It makes sense." Shangguan Yuanrang continued to nod. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear anything more from Liang Qi. He raised his head curiously and said, "You continue to talk..." While speaking, he was looking at Liang Qi.
Qi Zai looked at him eagerly and was stunned for a moment. Shangguan Yuanrang immediately understood what Liang Qi meant. He wondered: "You want me to break through the encirclement of Du Ji's army, rush into Tia City, and contact the people inside."
The defenders?"
When Liang Qi heard this, he put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying, "The one who knows me is Yuan Rang!"
"Get the hell out of here, you're trying to hurt me again!" Shangguan Yuanrang could no longer feel his anger at this time, but had the urge to laugh. He knew that Liang Qi's proposal to the king that he should go out with the army must have done nothing good.
, calculation after calculation, and in the end the calculation will fall on oneself.
"Alas!" Liang Qi sighed and said: "Du Ji's army has been besieging Tia City for nearly two years. A tight company camp has been set up outside the city, and there is no gap to escape. There are also more than 100,000 troops stationed there. Others
If you want to break through the encirclement of Du Ji's army, it will be overwhelming. In the whole world, you are the only one who can do this, Yuan Rang."
After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued: "Of course, if Yuan Rang feels that he can't do it, then there is no need to force it, and we will discuss the plague tactics..."
Shangguan Yuanrang rolled his eyes at Liang Qi angrily, stood up, picked up the helmet on the table, put it on his head, and said as he walked out: "You don't need to provoke me with words, I won't take advantage of you.
One set! Tomorrow, I will go to Tia City. What does a mere company mean? What can hundreds of thousands of barbarians do to me?"
Looking at Shangguan Yuanrang's leaving back, Liang Qi chuckled, then lowered his head, and looked at the map intently, tracing on it with his fingers, mumbling something, and he didn't know what he was mumbling.
What.
The next day, the Sanshui Army launched a feint attack on Var Town, while Shangguan Yuanrang was preparing to leave for Tia City.
Liang Qi originally wanted to send Shangguan Yuanrang thousands of people and translators who were proficient in Tiya language, but they were rejected by Shangguan Yuanrang. Breaking through the encirclement of more than 100,000 people, only a few thousand people could not help much, but were still a burden. As for
Language is not a problem, just by reading books* Since the relationship between Tiya and Ning is so good, there are certainly not a few Tiya people who are proficient in the language of the Haotian Empire.
Before Shangguan Yuanrang left, Liang Qi specifically told him that after successfully entering the city of Tia, he must ask Qingti about the situation of the runner-up army. As long as the combat power of the tier-two army can reach 30% of his own combat power, he can easily bypass Val.
town, and the feasibility of cooperating with the Tia army inside and outside to attack the main force of Duji's army.
Shangguan Yuanrang carefully wrote down Liang Qi's instructions, and then he alone, without any troops, bypassed Var Town and headed for Tia City.
The west of Vaal Town was under the control of the Duji Army. Shangguan Yuanrang's journey westward was not peaceful, and he encountered small groups of the Duji Army from time to time. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, he captured and killed a small leader of the Duji Army.
Putting on Du Jijun's armor will indeed bring him a lot of convenience. When he meets Du Jijun again, as long as he doesn't speak, he can easily get past him.
Shangguan Yuanrang traveled all the way west, sleeping in the open air, traveling day and night, and soon arrived at Tia City.
Before seeing the city of Tia, I first saw the Duki army camp outside the city.
Perhaps the Duji army has been fighting under the city of Tia for too long. After a long period of continuous construction and repair, the company and battalion have become densely packed and connected, as if they have built a circle outside the city of Tia.
Within the city wall, there are even several tall and solemn temples built within the company camp, where Du Jijun can pray and seek blessings after rest. There are also altars and other buildings to commemorate the spirits of fallen soldiers. The huge company
The camp has almost become several connected villages and towns.
After Shangguan Yuanrang took a look, he urged his horse to move forward slowly. As he got closer and closer to Du Jijun's company camp, the outline of Tia City inside gradually became clearer.
The city of Tia is the capital of Tia. The city wall is strong and high, and there is a wide moat on the outside. Looking inside the city, you can see many cylindrical tower buildings whose height is much higher than the city wall. You can see it outside the city, especially
Shangguan Yuanrang estimated that the tower in the center of the city must be at least ten feet high, soaring straight into the sky. It was so frighteningly high that it was hard to imagine how such a tall tower was built.
He watched as he walked, and unknowingly he was approaching Du Jijun's camp.
He was continuing to walk forward when a ten-man cavalry squad quickly rushed over. When Shangguan Yuanrang approached, the cavalrymen reined in their horses and asked: "Which regiment are you from?" (Dukei)
language)"
Shangguan Yuanrang didn't understand. He looked around at the ten cavalrymen, said nothing, and continued to move forward with his chest held high.
"Hey! We asked which regiment you are from! Are you deaf? (Dukei language)" A Duki cavalryman urged his horse to Shangguan Yuanrang and tapped his helmet with the whip in his hand.
Because Du Ji's helmet had a face protector, Du Jijun could not see Shangguan Yuanrang's appearance, nor did he recognize that he was not a Du Ji.
Shangguan Yuanrang tilted his head, and without any warning, he suddenly raised his hand, snatched the opponent's riding whip, and threw it to the ground.
"Yeah!" Unexpectedly, he was so arrogant and dared to snatch his riding whip away. The Duji cavalryman screamed strangely and raised his fist to hit him.
But before his fist could be punched out, Shangguan Yuanrang slammed his feet into the stirrups, and he and his horse passed by the Duji cavalryman. Before the other party could recover, Shangguan Yuanrang, who had already rushed over, suddenly
He reached back and grabbed the Duki cavalryman by the back of his neck. He didn't see how hard he was. He just lifted it lightly and picked it up in his hand. Then he threw it outwards, and there was a thud in his ears.
With a muffled sound, the cavalryman flew out and hit a companion behind him. The two screamed and fell off their horses.
