Langyankou is a protruding forward position, and the same goes for Tianlang City. Therefore, although the Sushen clan is opposite Langyankou, and the Rinan clan is opposite Tianlang City, the distance between the two places is not as scary as thousands of miles.
.
As for the straight-line distance, it is more than 200 miles and less than 300 miles. If there are 200 or 300 people, they can cross the two places in the day.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people were marching. In order to hide themselves and prevent the Rinan people from knowing, Wu Yi chose the Julan Mountains to march in the deep forest and dense trees at the suggestion of some gangsters who were familiar with the nearby geography.
In fact, Jingjiiling is one of the remaining branches of the Julan Mountains. Starting from Jingjiling, it can be regarded as a "sooner".
With a tired body, we are marching in a hurry. The forest is deep and dense, and we are surrounded by a group of unruly and murderous gangsters. Who knows when they will escape. They are all fighting against the wind. If there is a defeat,
I'm just afraid that no one will be left alive.
The opponent he faced was still a newly victorious army with great momentum. Wu Yi's spirit had not slackened since he started on the road, and his brows had not been lowered for a moment. They were always furrowed.
This war is to use war to promote talks and break the deadlock in negotiations between the two parties. This is the core purpose of this war. As long as this goal is achieved, it is not necessarily necessary to recover Tianlang City, it only needs to hurt them.
What is lost on the battlefield cannot be regained at the negotiation table, no matter how good your eloquence is. It can only be regained through blood and fire.
Wu Yi is very self-aware and has "trust" in Zhang Tianwen. He does not think that Zhang Tianwen will put his treasure on him alone. If Zhang Tianwen really does this, his position as the marshal of the Northern Army will be very valuable.
The most likely reason why he was used for the expedition was that the military strength of the other states and counties of the Northern Army was restrained and could not be mobilized for the time being.
And if this speculation is true, then it is obvious that this matter is not something that the Nichinan clan can decide. The five clans may have already conspired before the negotiations and decided to suppress the Daichi Dynasty in order to gain better bargaining chips.
Zhang Tianwen is determined to use war to promote peace. The question is, is the other party willing? The Rinan tribe will probably hold on to the bargaining chips they finally obtained at all costs. Even if Wu Yi launches a surprise attack, they will experience a war.
An extremely difficult offensive and defensive battle.
Zhang Tianwen must have other arrangements, but instead of abandoning the regular army and using Wu Yi to lead this group of gangsters, the pressure should not be small.
When will the reinforcements come? How many people will come? But it will determine the life and death of Wu Yi and others.
He even thought the worst about his own situation. Even if there were reinforcements, he would not assist him. Instead, he thought about waiting for himself and others to exhaust the enemy's strength, and then go all out to take advantage of the situation to regain Tianlang City.
In this way, while regaining Tianlang City, he also indirectly eliminated the crime of using thieves as soldiers, and Zhang Tianwen himself would not leave a trace of infamy.
If they don't march, they will be charged with cowardice. Maybe Wu Yi will be blamed for the fall of Tianlang City by then, saying that they can't rescue them enough; but if they march, it will be a dead end, with a strong enemy in front and no one behind.
The reinforcements are fighting alone, and I don't know how many days they will hold on.
Of course, this is the worst time of the situation, and the situation may not develop like this. However, Wu Yi's character has always been to make decisions before acting, and to be cautious and conservative. Now that this situation has been taken into consideration, he cannot but make a decision on it.
While thinking about it, there were scouts returning from the front. The bandits in Thorn Ridge were able to survive between the two major forces of the Daji Dynasty and the Northern Tribe. Their ability to collect intelligence was also first-rate, which made up for Wu Yi's major shortcomings.
After all, Shen Congyue's Shinto beliefs have not spread to that extent. On the other hand, Wu Yi now personally controls the army, suppressed by the evil spirit of the white tiger, and all extraordinary powers are inaccessible. Using Shen Congyue's power, and Not a good choice.
Not only Shen Congyue, but also the inner demon body is difficult to get close to.
According to the news sent back by the scouts, Tianlang City has indeed been lost. The city walls are covered with blood. The purple dragon flag of the Daji Dynasty has been broken. The densely packed corpses have not yet been cleaned up. The casualties are countless.
Tianlang City is different from a fortress like Langyankou. It is a city with civilians living inside. This time Tianlang City fell, the civilians inside, who were lucky enough to survive, may also be sold as slaves.
The news could not be concealed and soon spread among the army!
Even if he wanted to conceal it, it was not something that Wu Yi could conceal. The information Wu Yi obtained was not first-hand. After the scouts knew the information, they told the leader of the gang first, and then Wu Yi. This may not be the case, maybe. The number two figure among the gangsters.
There was a question mark on whether the scouts had finished telling Wu Yi what they saw.
After hearing the news, some people in the crowd cursed Beilu for being extremely vicious and inhumane, but others remained silent.
There is no doubt that the composition of the bandit team is complex, and some of them are even deserters from the North. Do you expect them to scold you?
If they were all subjects of the Daji Dynasty, Wu Yi could still incite nationalism and inspire their enthusiasm for war. They couldn't flee against the wind, but rather go with the wind to gain credit and rob property!
No matter what it is, it is taboo on the battlefield.
This is already the second day of the march. We marched forty miles a day and covered almost a hundred miles. Marching in the mountains cannot be said to be slow at this speed. If the bandits were not good at guerrilla warfare in the mountains, they might not be able to reach this speed.
Wu Yide's scout reported the news and immediately said to a strong man beside him: "Gan Tianba, the northern captives have only been in the city for a few days. They don't even have time to clean up the corpses. They are obviously busy robbing property and transporting it back to the north. You can take the lead." Go down and intercept, you might gain something!"
This man was a farmer. He had never read a book for generations. He was honest, but impulsive and irritable. Because he was the seventh eldest in the family, his original name was Gan Qi, and Wu Yi gave him the name Gan Tianba.
Gan Tianba became a refugee due to natural disasters and had not been in Jingji Ridge for a long time. In Wu Yi's eyes, this kind of person was a type that could be rescued, so he became his subordinate.
But the situation in the army did not change much. After all, Gan Tianba's men, only dozens of people, less than a hundred, were of no use.
If there really was a task assigned to Gan Tianba, he wouldn't have said it in broad daylight in front of everyone.
"Sir! Alas, you are not being kind. What the Northern Captives plundered were the property of the people of our Daji Dynasty. No one here is under the rule of the dynasty. Why is it that only Gan Qi is responsible for this good job?"
What Wu Yi expected happened. What these people said about being granted a wife, a wife, a prince, and a prime minister were all matters far away. It was better to tell them that there was a pile of money not far away, and they would get it if it was too late. Gone.
When one person started, everyone started shouting, saying that Wu Yi was unfair.
