The Han army set up camp on the south bank of the Qingjiang River. Su Lu gave Wen Jiang a few instructions and asked him to lead the navy.
After the account was raised, Su Lu assigned military affairs.
"The top priority is to rescue the Su Ping and Li Kun tribes who are divided and surrounded in Nanping and Dangshan. According to the news from the scouts, the two have been besieged for more than a month and are already out of food."
"Cao Hua, you lead 20,000 troops and horses, the Feiyang Battalion, and the Ballista Battalion, rush to Dangshan to rescue the besieged Li Kun, and then send your army southward, walking along the line between Dangshan and Luonan, and approach Linzi, the capital of Qi.
"Wang Si, you will lead the Ding Army and cooperate with Wenjiang's navy to sweep the south bank of Qingjiang River and open up the entrance of Qingjiang River to the East China Sea. Wanghai must be conquered within three months."
"The rest of the generals, follow me and have a fight with the Yingte people here, so that the Yingte people can see how powerful our Han army's swords are."
The generals agreed with a roar.
The generals dispersed, and Su Lu ordered Ma Ping to speak to Lu Zhan.
"Do you two want to make a difference in this war?"
Su Ping geared up: "Commander, you know that I have been following you since the northern border. At first, Zheng Kai was just like me, a small soldier. Now Zheng Kai is the deputy commander of the first army. Naturally, the last general has
Idea.”
Su Lu threw out a military order and said: "Ma Ping, I ordered you to lead the Imperial Guards Battalion and go south to assassinate Ying Te and the senior officials of the Qi people. It has been accomplished, and your merits are indispensable."
Ma Ping accepted the military order.
Lu Zhan said next to him: "Commander Commander, I have received a military order to protect you. This is the last military order given to me by the Qin Army. The general is willing to spend his whole life to complete this military order. He does not intend to
What an incredible achievement and high position."
Ma Ping, who was holding the military order next to him, looked embarrassed. What the hell, I, a direct descendant, am not as loyal as you who came halfway. What a mistake.
Su Lu said casually: "If you don't want to go, that's up to you."
"Lu Kang, are you willing to take charge of the second battalion of the imperial guards, go south to cooperate with the army, and assassinate the Qi army and General Yingte?"
Lu Kang knelt down neatly and said: "The last general takes orders."
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions: "In this case, then you hand over military affairs to land warfare and lead the army south."
"Remember, you two can eat as much as you like in Qi State, but you cannot loot, burn or kill, otherwise you will be severely punished."
The two of them bowed to accept the order and retreated.
On the second day, the entire army marched towards Nanping.
In Nanping City, Su Ping was sitting under the battlements, looking weak.
"It's such a bad weather that cold people are not even willing to hold iron guns."
Deputy Lieutenant Chang Lin handed over a roasted sweet potato, sat down next to Su Ping, and cursed.
It has been a month since Nanping was captured. Within this month, four lieutenants were killed beside Su Lu. Chang Lin was the fifth lieutenant promoted during the battle.
Eating roasted sweet potatoes, Chang Lin sat down next to Su Ping and glanced around. He saw that the guards were far away and could not hear the two people talking, so he said worriedly.
"Captain, we don't have many sweet potatoes left. I'm afraid we won't last three days."
Su Ping had just peeled off the sweet potato skin. When he heard Chang Lin's words, he was about to throw it out. His eyes rolled around and he took the sweet potato skin back.
"Aqi, it's okay. You don't have to worry about the sweet potatoes. As long as we can withstand Qi's next attack, that's all."
Chang Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this. Governor Su was still so confident. As the commander of an army, he could still be so sure in such a desperate situation.
It's really admirable, he is worthy of being a general trained by the prince.
Su Ping gnawed on sweet potatoes and looked at the Qi people's camp not far away. He thought with some depression in his heart, "Damn, these grandsons are attacking so fiercely. Will they be able to survive the next time?"
After two sticks of incense, the Qi army continued to attack the city under the driving force.
After a fight, Su Ping was covered in blood and stood with his back against a pillar, panting and asking Chang Lin, who was wrapped in wounds next to him.
"What's the matter, Lao Chang? You can't die, right?"
"Quenching"
Chang Lin vomited, his face full of ferocity.
"You can't die, but that won't be the case next time."
Chang Lin's face turned ugly as he allowed his sergeant to tie a knot in his gauze.
"Captain, when will the prince arrive? We really can't hold on anymore."
Su Ping breathed evenly, holding the knife upside down, his face full of calmness.
"Wait a little longer and survive the next time, and we can wait."
As he said this, a hint of darkness flashed in Su Ping's eyes.
Fortunately, the Qi army was not strong in combat, and the Yingte people suffered heavy losses in the previous battles and lost their morale. Otherwise, if the Yingte people had pressed forward personally, their home would have been defeated long ago.
Su Ping looked north, his eyes a little moist.
Second brother, if you don't come again, my brother will really not be able to hold on anymore.
To the north of Nanping City, a hundred miles away, the Han army had set up camp.
In the Chinese military tent, Su Lu was reading the military affairs brochure.
In front of my eyes, a card suddenly jumped out.
Level 1 pincer offensive card, +1
Campaign-level cards can rationally allocate the various military services involved in a battle, coordinate with two or three teams to form a pincer offensive, and double the physical strength of soldiers...
Su Lu took a deep breath and finally released a battle-level card. After waiting for such a long time, he could call more and more troops, but the number of cards did not increase. This time, it was a breakthrough.
Su Lu put down the military affairs booklet in his hand and began to study this campaign-level card.
Level 1 cards
Restricting factors: The card coverage area does not exceed one thousand square kilometers, and the number of teams covered is two or three.
Duration: ten days
Enhancement effect: Double the combat power of the troops forming a pincer offensive
General enhancement: 100% improvement of the battle general's ability, 50% improvement of the secondary general's ability, and 20% improvement of the basic general's ability.
Su Lu got up and walked around the Zhongjun tent. Nanping was only more than a hundred miles away from Dangshan. It took two days to travel. If they marched by force, they could arrive in one day and night. Based on this calculation, Dangshan and Nanping should be able to reach it.
Counted as a battle.
You should be able to use this level 1 pincer offensive card in this battle.
The next day, the team finally arrived outside Nanping City.
Outside Nanping City, inside the Yingte Allied Forces Camp.
Viscount William looked at the defense map with an ugly expression on his face.
A strong attack in January failed to capture Nanping City, which was used as a bait. The Qi army was really useless.
Glancing at the guards standing at the door, Viscount William frowned even more. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial sergeant had died during the siege, the empire would not have replenished itself with new warriors. How could this happen?
Let the Han army hold on for a month.
"Sir, reinforcements from the Han army have arrived."
Lieutenant General Lorraine strode in with a proud smile on his face.
William's expression changed. This Lorraine had lost his fighting spirit after being defeated by the Han army several times and was not worthy of being a warrior of the empire.
"General Lorraine, please pay attention to your appearance. Imperial sergeants must not be tarnished."
Lorraine's smile faded and she said excitedly:
"Sir, the Han army came from afar and marched a hundred miles in one day. Our opportunity has come."
