Everyone cheered, and Hyun raised his voice to suppress their voices and said coldly:
"However, if anyone still insists on joining us today, he will be killed without mercy!"
After speaking, he raised his hand and pulled out the knife from the waist of the soldier beside him, and threw it to the ground. The tip of the knife immediately sank into the ground, making a clanking sound. The blade of the knife was swinging back and forth, flashing a cold light without temperature, and although Hyun's eyes were emotionless,
, but it makes people shudder.
Gradually, everyone dispersed.
Hyun glanced at the soldiers and saw that they seemed to have sunk down and were no longer so floating.
Then I looked at the people who were slowly leaving with high expectations, and I felt guilty. I made them a promise that couldn't be fulfilled, and told them in advance the reasons why it couldn't be fulfilled. This kind of myself is disgusting!
Starting from Longzhou, walking further is Qianyang. It takes almost a day to walk, from sunrise to sunset and then to moonrise, and there are valleys all the way, although the Mantou Mountains on both sides are not so high that they touch the sky.
It is as close as a line to the sky, but it is also a terrain that is very vulnerable to ambush. Only in Qianyang can there be a relatively flat and open terrain.
Le Zhengyuan sent scouts to go ahead, and then the large army set off.
Along the way, miraculously no ambush was encountered.
Wang Bi said to the two of them:
"Will they try their best to stop us in Qianyang?"
Hyun knew nothing about marching and fighting, and looked at Le Zhengyuan in confusion.
Le Zhengyuan looked at the road blocked by mountains in front of him and nodded:
"It's possible, but it's hard to say." Looking at the mountains with thousands of ravines around, "After all, this place is perfect for an ambush."
Everyone walked forward carefully, paying attention to all the disturbances around them. After turning the corner in front, they could see Qianyang. In other words, after turning this corner, they entered a flat land.
No ambush was encountered along the way, and the scouts came back to report that there was no ambush ahead. In fact, this was not a good thing.
In a field battle, you can cut through the mess with a sharp knife. You can achieve something, but if you don't, you can't. But in attacking a city, not only will the losses be high, but it can also easily turn into a tug-of-war. Le Zhengyuan would rather they go out of the city to ambush than huddle in Qianyang.
in the city.
In Qianyang City, there are now two factions at the command level. One is the Longzhou governor faction who returned from Longzhou, and the other is the Qianyang governor faction.
The governor of Longzhou insisted on going out to fight in the field. He was afraid that the flames of war would be ignited before his eyes and his life would not be protected at all. He wanted the flames of war to be as far away from him as possible, as far away as possible. It would be best if Kun Yuguo could bypass Qianyang.
Of course, this was impossible, so he insisted on fighting in the field; the Qianyang governor faction insisted on defending the city. There were sufficient reserves in the city, so it would not be a problem to defend it for a year and a half. However, Kunyu State was a small country and it was a long march.
, the war cannot withstand a long delay. Even if they have no reinforcements, they will win in the end. However, the Longzhou governor faction insists on fighting in the field and wants a quick victory.
So amidst the quarrels between the two factions, the Kunyu Kingdom's army approached Qianyang step by step, but they had not yet come to a conclusion in their quarrel.
Later, the scouts came to report, and the Kunyu Army turned a corner and appeared in everyone's sight. Finally, the two factions decided to act separately. If you want to go out to fight in the field, you can go out and fight. We will defend the city.
The governor of Longzhou snorted and led his troops away with the governor of Longzhou. The governor of Qianyang also lined up his troops with the others.
How could the cowardly governor and governor of Longzhou dare to leave with their troops? You can escape in the field, but if the situation goes wrong, you can run to Chencang. If you stay in Qianyang, you can only run away with the defenders, but will there be any chance at that time?
Life is unknown, so it is better to be in the wild than to be trapped in the city.
After they left the city, Qianyang Governor's faction closed the city gate and prepared for defense.
Hyun and the others didn't know that Qianyang was already in chaos, so they still moved forward cautiously.
The scouts came to report that the Zhao army had appeared in front and was waiting in formation. Finally, the Zhao army was seen, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Going from the mountainous area to Qianyang was like passing through a bottleneck. The Zhao army was waiting for them at the mouth of the bottleneck. Le Zhengyuan looked at the surrounding terrain and then at the exit that was not far away. He ordered the army to rest where they were.
If you are riding a horse, riding an infantry vehicle is not very tiring. The key is to rest the horse.
Le Zhengyuan and the generals gathered together to discuss. According to the scout's report, the number of troops was tens of thousands. Le Zheng and the others estimated that Qianyang's defenders plus the troops retreating from Longzhou could not possibly be only tens of thousands.
, it seems that not all of them came out, Lezheng and the others thought that this might be a tactic to consume part of their troops.
Hyun, who had been listening to the book from heaven, suddenly said:
"Why do they attack here? Although this is the bottleneck, this mouth is too wide and is not a good point. Along the way, even if they don't ambush us, there are many more suitable places than here. Another one,
We are not marching in a hurry. They have enough time to choose and set up their formation. Why did they choose to do it here? It seems to be a hasty decision."
After she said this, everyone thought so too.
Wang Bi said:
"Is it not to consume our troops, but that there are differences within them? Some people want to fight in the field, and some people want to defend the city?"
Le Zhengyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about whether he could take advantage of this contradiction, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it didn't work. The people in the field fled in all directions when they saw that it didn't work. They still had to face tens of thousands of people defending the city.
One of the generals said:
"Regardless of whether there are conflicts among them, dividing them into two groups is a bit troublesome. The field warriors are dispersed. Should we attack the city or not? Attack the city. What if the field warriors gather to stab us in the back?
If we don't attack, we can't move forward, then we retreat to Longzhou?"
It was obvious that no one wanted to go back, and it didn't mean that they were in a situation where they couldn't do anything even if they tried hard, so everyone was silent about going back. But the fact is here, even if the field army is dispersed, if you have the will, you can still
You can continue to fight guerrillas. Although guerrillas are not frontal attacks, they are still very troublesome when done well.
Le Zhengyuan looked at the confused Hyun sitting next to him, leaned over and said in a low voice:
"Don't pretend to be stupid, think of a solution!"
Hyun turned his head and looked at him:
"Arrangement of troops is not my strong point. I know nothing about it."
Wang Bi, who was sitting on the other side, also came over:
"I'm not asking you to line up your troops. I'm asking you to solve the dilemma in front of you. This time is the most suitable for you."
Hyun looked at the two of them and said to everyone hesitantly:
"I do have an idea."
When everyone heard this, they all focused their attention on her.
Hyun thought for a while and said:
"After we defeated the field army, we divided it into two groups. One group continued to advance and attack, and the other group surrounded Qianyang. It is estimated that it will not be a problem for them to eat food for a year and a half, but if the front is cleared, Qianyang will
It has become an isolated city, and we will see if they surrender at that time."
A general said:
"The theory is good, but if one group continues to advance, what will happen to the rest of the army? The scattered field army and the defenders will cooperate with each other inside and outside, and the remaining army will be spoiled."
Hyun smiled and said:
"Qianyang is an important post station. There are so many villages around it. It is impossible for all people to go to the city to escape. Some of these people must be hiding in the mountains and some are hiding in other places. We use the good military strength of the Kunyu Kingdom to
Reputation, gather these people together. Although the common people cannot go to the front line, they can still be an important back force." Hyun patted his back. "They can protect our back. As long as we gather them, we can keep our back."
There must be a big group guarding Qianyang!"
The reason why I thought of mobilizing the common people was because during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the common people became a huge logistical force and provided great help to the Communist army. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has emphasized unity and united all forces that can be united. The Communist Party has
The people are kind, and they also remember the goodness of the Communist Party. Therefore, during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the people became a force that cannot be ignored.
But when it comes to this, many possibilities of failure flash through my mind. The Communist Party only has the feedback from the civil war after many years of hard work. However, they have no foundation. It is really unclear whether they can unite the people around them.
Easy to say.
Looking at Le Zhengyuan:
"As the general said, it works in theory, but in practice it may not be so good."
Le Zhengyuan thought of other places. (To be continued)
