Chapter 1508 This is a conspiracy and a conspiracy
After a while, Xu Shiji coughed and said: "Now Huangshi Village and Fengyang City have been lost, and although the army led by Mi Gong has surrounded Fengyang City, according to the spies, the Poison King is in Fengyang City, and Mi Gong wants to take it back.
Fengyang City...I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a while. Moreover, as the Poison King, he actually stayed in Fengyang City and was surrounded by our Wagang army. This thing is really weird. I always feel that the Poison King has something to do with it.
What conspiracy is there to delay the main force of the Wagang Army led by Mi Gong and I at Xiaohedao Mountain Pass and Fengyang City, so I already have the intention of retreating."
Jia Yunfu stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Brother Xu, withdraw the troops? Now we can't recapture the small river. It will be difficult to realize the plan set by the secret master."
Xu Shiji's cheeks twitched, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Haven't the supervisor noticed it yet? The Poison King obviously didn't need to come, let alone stay in Fengyang City and be surrounded by the secret army, but he just didn't
By doing this, his purpose is to use himself as bait to attract the main force of our army to leave Wagang Village early. Although I don't know what Wang Junlin will do next. But I think that if we retreat now, we can still maintain our strength and
Waiting for a comeback. If we wait until the tempting bait reveals the sharp hook underneath, we...the remaining 40,000 people and the 150,000 army led by the secret master may become meat on his chopping board.
, let others slaughter you!"
Jia Fuyun gasped, stared at Xu Shiji for a long time, and then asked sullenly: "If we retreat without the edict of Mi Gong, who will bear the blame?"
Xu Shiji sighed and said: "Then according to the wishes of Lord Supervisor, how should we make a decision now?"
Jia Fuyun hesitated. After all, he was just a confidant around Li Mi. He usually relied on Li Mi's influence and called Xu Shiji "Brother Xu", but he knew that he had no qualifications, let alone leading troops to fight, and Xu Shiji was Wagang.
The third person in the army, who was also the commander-in-chief of troops and horses, said that it was time to withdraw the troops, which logically made sense.
It's just that he was loyal to Li Mi, thinking that Li Mi had secretly told him before they sent out the army that if Wang Junlin showed any signs of subduing Xu Shiji, he would use the secret trap Li Mi had arranged around Xu Shiji to kill Xu Shiji directly.
In Jia Yunfu's view, Xu Shiji looked calm during the day and even seemed confident. However, after capturing a prisoner of the Far East Army at night, he had the idea of retreating. This made Jia Yunfu, who had always been suspicious, immediately become suspicious.
But he really didn't know how to refute Xu Shiji's words at this time. As for using Li Mi's secret agent next to Xu Shiji to kill Xu Shiji at this time, he also believed that the time was not ripe.
Thinking like this, Jia Fuyun came up with a compromise and said: "We will attack across the entire front tomorrow. If we can't capture the military stronghold again, our army will agree to withdraw."
Xu Shiji cursed secretly in his heart and felt a little unwilling. He thought that since Jia Yunfu came out to bear the blame for the heavy losses, he would just push him again. He nodded and said: "In that case, according to the wishes of the supervisor, tomorrow we will
Finally, attack with all your strength. If you still cannot break the enemy stronghold, then retreat."
Everyone loudly agreed.
Half an hour after the military meeting in Wagang, in the far east army commander's tent at Xiaohedao Mountain Pass opposite, Wang Junlin held a piece of military information just sent by Shen Guoer in his hand, and said with admiration: "Xu Shiji is indeed well-deserved, and he is so mysterious."
They are aware of our plan and want to retreat early tomorrow."
Li Jing also looked slightly condensed, nodded and said: "What the prince said is absolutely true. These days, I have been defending and attacking with this person. Although our army has far fewer casualties than the opponent due to the geographical location and advantages of weapons and equipment, from now on we will mobilize our troops." Judging from the situation of dispatching generals and the bravery of the Wagang inner camp that Xu Shiji trained with his own hands, this man is indeed a handsome man."
Wang Junlin nodded slightly, expressing that he believed what Li Jing said, and frowned: "If Xu Shiji is allowed to withdraw his troops and join forces with Li Mi in Fengyang City, and one of them returns to Wagang Village to take charge, then our plan will be different. There will be variables.”
Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he said: "Your Majesty, I will take the initiative to lead the troops to attack tomorrow, or let Xu Shiji see the possibility of breaking through the defenses of the small river in a short time. I think Xu Shiji will stay."
Wang Junlin thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "With Xu Shiji's shrewdness, if you do this, you will end up without three hundred taels of silver. This will make the other party more suspicious, and I'm afraid they will retreat even more decisively and quickly."
Li Jing thought for a moment, and it was indeed true, frowning and saying nothing. Wang Junlin thought for a while, then smiled and said to Shen Guoer: "Guoer, you have to think of a way to send orders to our secret agents in the Wagang army across the night, so that they can spread the news secretly. Xu Shiji has contacted me secretly, and I want to make him a general, and Xu Shiji has agreed."
Shen Guoer's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed.
Li Jing was even more shocked and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise and humble. I heard that Li Mi sent supervisory troops to Xu Shiji's side. As soon as the news spread among Xu Shiji's army, it was difficult for Xu Shiji to retreat immediately in order to prove his innocence. "
Wang Junlin shook his head again and said: "Xu Shiji has a very high prestige in the Wagang Army, even higher than Li Mi, and this person is very decisive in his actions. If these rumors are just, it may not be able to force him to change his mind."
After a pause, Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Li Jing, early tomorrow morning, you will arrange for someone to fly my flag out of the two military camps to let the people of the Wagang Army on the opposite side know that I am here."
Li Jing said with admiration on his face: "Your Majesty's move is extremely clever. If this happens, Xu Shiji will have to fight him."
………
………
Early the next morning, when Xu Shiji learned about the rumors that suddenly appeared in the army overnight, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Especially Jia Yunfu's strange gaze made Xu Shiji, who was very good at nourishing qi, feel an evil fire in his heart.
Damn it, anyone with any brains can see that this is Wang Junlin's alienation plan, okay?
Moreover, Xu Shiji knew very well that there was obviously someone under his command who was secretly affiliated with the Far East Army, and this person had a high status, and was even one of the people who participated in the military meeting last night. Otherwise, he had just shown his intention to retreat last night, and he was not interested in this person. Conveniently, there was a reaction, and it was such a vicious plan to divorce.
But Xu Shiji knew very well that this kind of thing could not be explained at all, and would only get darker and darker, so he just glanced at Jia Fuyun lightly, without saying any explanation, but ordered a confidant general: "Go and check it out. , where is the source of this rumor, find the person and bring him to me."
General Nawagang agreed and left in a hurry.
Xu Shiji added: "The more the Far East Army wants me to stay and fight at Xiaohekou, the more it proves that my guess last night was correct. So last night I originally wanted to fight again today, but I don't want to fight. I'm going to prepare now." retreat."
Jia Yunfu immediately said loudly: "Brother Xu, if you don't fight at this time..."
"Shut up! Who do you think you are? You can call me Brother Xu." Xu Shiji shouted loudly, interrupting Jia Yunfu's words.
Jia Yunfu was shocked and was immediately frightened to say anything because he found that Xu Shiji's soldiers and generals in the tent were looking at him coldly. He had no doubt that as long as Xu Shiji gave an order, countless people would immediately rush towards him.
Come and kill him.
Jia Yunfu's face turned red and he wanted to say something, but he was so scared that he finally didn't speak. He glanced at the person Li Mi arranged beside Xu Shiji from the corner of his eye, and saw that the person's expression was no different from the others.
I couldn't help but think that if Xu Shiji had the intention to rebel, he might not be able to obey Li Mi's instructions and suddenly kill Xu Shiji.
At this time, Xu Shiji's soldiers hurried in and reported: "General Manager, the flag of the Poison King has been raised in the two military camps of the Far Eastern Army."
The expressions of everyone in the tent changed, but Xu Shiji thought more, so his expression changed several times.
Jia Yunfu was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "As soon as the general manager saw the Poison King appear, he ignored the secret master's original plan and retreated directly..."
Jia Yunfu didn't finish his words, but sneered in his heart, thinking that in this situation, it depends on how Xu Shiji retreats.
Because he had noticed that with the appearance of Wang Junlin in the Far East Army opposite, some of the generals in the army had some differences in their eyes when they looked at Xu Shiji.
This was of course the result of the combined effect of the rumors that emerged overnight and Wang Junlin's sudden appearance on the opposite side.
Xu Shiji led the generals out of the commander's tent and personally looked at Wang Junlin's flag. He also used a telescope bought from the black market in Fanyang County to carefully observe the two military villages. He found that the wall of the eastern military village was surrounded by Li Jing and others.
The man looked exactly like the Poisoned King in the portrait he had seen.
Wang Junlin, who was supposed to be in Fengyang City, actually came here. After Xu Shiji was silent for a while, he said: "Between Dongshan Mountain and Xishan Mountain, the Far East Army clearly dug a passage directly to connect all the defense lines between the two mountains. We mobilized
The troops were slow to form, but they were quick to mobilize troops through this passage. In a short time, they mobilized men from other places and concentrated their forces to attack us. Therefore, I think we should open up our posture and fight across the board, so that all the men we can dispatch are dispatched.
Attack the whole front together, don't be afraid of casualties, and make sure they are unable to use their hands. After all, our manpower is four to five times theirs."
When the generals heard this, they knew that the General Manager had no intention of retreating. However, the generals hesitated a little because they all knew that these two military strongholds were difficult to fight, not to mention that the Poison King was in the Far East Army on the opposite side.
It is a powerful deterrent in itself.
What's more, the current large-scale attack with one-third or half of the troops is within a controllable range, and the casualties will not be too large. Once the entire line is attacked, it may cause heavy casualties.
Xu Shiji waved his hand to interrupt several generals who were about to speak in rebuttal, and said in a deep voice: "These days, I have been too worried about heavy casualties, so I never dared to attack across the board. Instead, I failed to give full play to our numerical advantage. Hmm...
…Give the order and prepare to attack across the board.”
"Also, the earthen wall of the Far Eastern Army's second line of defense is only over a foot high, and the trench is only over a foot wide. The method of attack is naturally different from that of siege. Also, we don't know what is buried at the bottom of the ditch. So.
We cannot attack the city from the bottom of the ditch. We can directly build wooden planks to cross the ditch, and then set up short city ladders, which are very convenient to carry. In short, our Wagang Army has the advantage in numbers. As long as we attack everywhere and put up thousands of city ladders,
Their giant crossbows, gunpowder packets, or troops are naturally not enough."

…………
At the head of the Far Eastern Army's eastern military walled city, Wang Junlin watched as the Wagang Army began to mobilize troops in a large scale.
After personally observing with telescopes, he, Li Jing and others easily concluded that Xu Shiji would not only stop retreating, but would also attack across the board.
"Your Majesty, the Wagang Army is now attacking across the board. Please give me your instructions." Li Jing bowed and asked for orders.
Wang Junlin waved his hand and said: "You are the commander-in-chief here, you can do whatever you want!"
"I humbly obey my orders." Li Jing agreed, returned to the general command position, and immediately mobilized troops and generals and arranged subordinates.
Wagang's army is attacking across the board. He wants to ensure that there are people guarding each section of the defense line, including giant crossbows, trebuchets, gunpowder packs, engineers from the engineering supply camp, etc.
At the same time, he also squeezed out two thousand reserves, ready to support and make up for losses at any time.
At the same time, let the engineering and troop battalions seize the last moment to lay traps and mines.
Wang Junlin knew that he could not match Li Jing in deploying troops on specific battlefields, so he did not participate in any way.
The Wagang army first set up a fire to cook. After eating, the offensive began not long after.
The Wagang Army's offensive preparations could not be hidden from the Far Eastern Army. The spies who had been monitoring the other side immediately informed the various armies. Bugles sounded from the two military stronghold defense lines of the Far Eastern Army, and the Far Eastern Army soldiers who had just had breakfast rushed to their respective posts.
Everyone on the defense line was busy. Batteries of gunpowder packets and grenades were transported from the rear, distributed to the engineering and engineering camps, and brought to various sections of earth walls. There were also people debugging trebuchets and giant crossbows. Everywhere was full of people.
Tense atmosphere.
The sound of horns kept coming from the Wagang Army, indicating that the Wagang Army was already gathering troops.
Wang Junlin has been standing at the head of the eastern military village, quietly looking at the battlefield in front of him. There are still streams of smoke rising from both sides of the enemy and ourselves, which have not completely dissipated in the air, casting a hazy veil on the battlefield.
Wang Junlin raised his head and looked at the white fish belly on the horizon. The morning sun was about to rise, and the first ray of morning light was about to shine on the earth.
In the thin morning light, the Wagang army in the distance came out of the camp one after another, and streams of people merged into the sea of people outside the camp. Countless shield cars came to the front line driven by the soldiers. Viewed from the top of the mountain
Go down, just like countless moving toys.
Under the unified dispatch of Xu Shiji and the specific command of officers at all levels, the Wagang Army spread out along the defense lines of the two military villages, starting from Dongshan in the east and ending at Xishan in the west, forming a long formation. The dense shield vehicles were like a moving line.
The wooden wall also formed the follow-up echelon, which can be seen very clearly from the east mountain, indicating that they will launch a continuous attack.
"Your Majesty, the Wagang Army is indeed planning to attack across the board, and Xu Shiji wants to use all his strength." Shen Guoer said quietly after looking through the binoculars.
Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said: "Xu Shiji's decisiveness in acting is beyond my expectations."
