"Let me tell you, it's because my brother Min is not here. Otherwise, Ximing City can be lost? He has already led the army to support... But now my uncle is the only one in charge of the overall situation in Huyangguan, so we can't rush to divide our troops. ...Sigh!" "Yes, yes, I am very impressed by the name of Master Chuming. He is the top eight in the inner palace of the Yellow River Association, the pride of our Xia people! But in my opinion, Master Yulong is just a few steps away from him. At this age, in a few years, I really don’t know who will be more famous!” “Humph, the meeting of the Yellow River…”… “I think back then, my family also wanted to send me to study at the Mohist School, and I am more I like Confucianism, so I went to Mugu Academy... I'm not saying, brother Zhang, people should still study more and make more friends. They will only work hard on the battlefield, and their future will be limited after all. You will know when you go to higher places in the future . Bottlenecks are everywhere!" "Oh, who says it's not the case. In recent years, I have been in the military and have become more and more embarrassed! It's just that I don't have the talent of Mr. Yulong, and I don't know where to start. Mr. Yulong, do you have any suggestions? ?”...The two people chatted like this for a long time. For Chu Yulong, he simply found his soulmate in life! How can there be anyone in the world who understands me so well? Understand all my overtones and understand my unfinished meaning. Every sentence is to the point, how in tune! He was still talking enthusiastically until all the supplies had been unloaded and a temporary camp for shelter from the rain had been initially set up. But after all, he had a mission, so he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Before leaving, they agreed to meet again in Guiyi City after the war. With his popularity with Yulong, it is really easy to find some ways to help Zhang Gu. None of his current confidants are as clever as the fat man in front of him. Zhang Gu also said that after returning home, he would send some home-smoked mountain products to Brother Yulong. The sudden outbreak of the Qi-Xia War made two people who had rarely crossed paths in life get to know each other at this time, and they developed a friendship. Come to think of it, if you wait until you become successful and famous, this will be a good story! With this thought in mind, Chu Yulong turned his horse around Guancheng. From the beginning to the end, he had a very pleasant conversation with a certain country general from Fengli City, and he did not even dismount. ... Chong Xuan Sheng wiped his wet face, smiled again, then turned around and entered the camp, getting into the general's tent that had been set up. Jiang Wang is practicing again. Fourteen Ze silently took off his armor, took a dry towel, and helped him wipe his wet hair - something that could be solved with any Taoist magic. "If you don't know how to use Taoism to decompose water element, I can do it for you." Jiang Wang suddenly opened his eyes and said. Chong Xuan Sheng smiled: "No wonder even Chu Yulong said you have no eyesight!" Jiang Wang didn't care what Chu Yulong said about him, and had nothing to worry about. He just said, "Don't you plan to take Huyang Pass? "Hu said he is too cautious. Even if we sneak into Guancheng now, it will definitely be a fierce battle. With the support of the Xia Kingdom's national protection formation and the Huyangguan protection formation, our losses will not be small... Being behind enemy lines, there is no place to replenish troops, and the most taboo thing is heavy consumption."
Chong Xuansheng explained his reasons, and finally said with a smile: "There is a better way to capture Huyang Pass, why bother to fight so hard?" Jiang Wang said "Oh" and did not care about the way. Knowing that there was no war for the time being, he closed his eyes and practiced again. The rain continued, hitting the tent one by one. Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only the sound of rain. .........Standed outside Huyang Pass for a night. At dawn, the rain stopped. The soldiers of the Victory Battalion dismantled the camp, packed up the tents, reloaded the vehicles, and walked into Huyang Pass in an orderly manner under Chong Xuan Sheng's shout. According to what Chongxuan Sheng and Chu Yulong said, their Fengli Mansion army was going to transfer to Xinjie City and return to Fengli. The soldiers are eager to return home and cannot wait any longer. However, despite the presence of the good brother Chu Yulong, the road passed by the soldiers of the Victory Battalion was also full of large crossbows, and the soldiers of Guancheng were on guard, not giving any chance at all. Of course, Zhongxuan Sheng had no intention of doing anything. This level of vigilance that implements the will of touch theory can be regarded as a test in itself. Anyone with evil intentions would definitely not dare to let themselves fall into such a situation where life and death are in the hands of others. "Follow up, keep up!" "Brothers, keep up!" "I'll take you home!" Chong Xuan Sheng, dragging his body fat, ran back and forth hard, directing the queue to move forward. In fact, it was intentionally or unintentionally disrupting the marching rhythm of the soldiers of the Victory Battalion, making them look more like the defeated Xia Guofu Army - some training has been engraved into instinct, and these elite soldiers from the Qiu Kill Army always unconsciously The land is about to get into battle formation.
Under the different eyes of the Huyangguan garrison, Zhongxuan Sheng led his troops to leave Huyangguan without incident. Until the end, they were not able to see him. "Really leaving like this?" Jiang Wang asked in surprise outside Guancheng. The city gate behind him slowly closed, blocking out the beacon fire in the direction of Linwu Mansion for this poor defeated army. Just like Chu Yulong said when he said goodbye: "Brother Zhang, don't worry about the war for the time being. Go back and rest for two days. More difficult times may be behind you...but you will eventually see the light. Just like this rain that has ended." ” Of course, for the Victory Camp itself. From this moment on, they truly entered an environment surrounded by enemies on all sides. It was impossible to get any support before Huyang Pass was broken. It is impossible for them to "return" to Fengli in a big way. There is no acquaintance there. It is difficult for an army of three thousand men to hide their tracks in the hinterland of Xia Kingdom. Even if you want to find a mountain cat to live in, it is unrealistic. Huyangguan will soon be able to detect the information about Ximing City. Only now can it be considered a real crisis moment. But Chong Xuan Sheng was still calm. "There is no chance here at all. What should I do if I don't leave?" He even had the time to evaluate Yinzhu and said: "Xia Kingdom is still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. I didn't know about this person before. Today, look at his ability to deploy defenses. Every detail in Huyang Pass... already shows the appearance of a famous general." Jiang Wang said speechlessly: "Do you still want to recruit others to surrender?"
The possibility of surrendering to the great Xia clan, such as the Chu clan and the Tai clan, was almost negligible. The kindness of the state and the dynasty is not as good as that of Xia. No matter how well Qi treats them, can it help them establish the foundation of their family? "No, I just remind myself that when killing Chu Yulong, don't let go of this dangerous person Chu Shuo." "Lu Yulong?" Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you have a pleasant chat? Why did he offend you? Did you?" "He offended me severely!" Chongxuan Sheng said in an evil voice. Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said: "I haven't even seen him in person, so I just said why don't let him go. You should consider our current situation first." "We have come to this point, why do we need to think about it again?" Chong Xuansheng smiled and tapped his temples with his fat fingers: "It's all here." Today, the core battlefield of the Qi-Xia National War is undoubtedly still in Tongyang City. In front of the towering city wall, another round of offensive by the Spring Death Army finally stopped, and the army retreated like a tide. During this period, Spring Death, Autumn Death, and Zhufeng, three nine-soldier brigades, took turns bombarding Tongyang City. Always control the pressure at the critical point and never give the Tongyang City defenders a chance to breathe. The Xia State's Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, State Counselor Xi Mengfu and others were firmly nailed to Tongyang City. Due to the superiority of field strength, the Qi army took absolute initiative in the Jiangyin Plain and was very free to advance and retreat.
Reflected in the siege offensive, it is quite arbitrary. Either on time at noon, or suddenly attack in the middle of the night, so that Xia Fang's defenders cannot relax for a moment - because if any flaw is exposed, no matter whether it is Chongxuan Chu Liang, Li Zhengyan or Chen Zeqing, they will definitely not remedy it for Xia's army. Chance. "Shimen Military Strategy" said: "Defending a city is like guarding a dike. Don't dare to have ants collapse." The Qi army's offensive is mainly based on the Spring Death Army with complete combat strength, often giving "extra food" to the opponent. Two or even three attacks a day are the norm. The Qiu Sha Army and the Zhufeng Army used the Yang style to attack the city, and they would attack for a while when it was their turn. He can only play once in two days and spend most of the rest of the time recuperating. Eat the Qi and Blood Pill and use the Dao Yuan Stone. The food was also very particular. Spiritual grains were mixed with mortal grains, spiritual vegetables were mixed with mortal vegetables, meat beasts mixed with the blood of monsters and beasts were slaughtered one after another - on weekdays, it was a treat only during the holidays, but during the war it was No day off. Rich supplies from the Daqi Empire were continuously sent to the front line through the "campaign" established by the Ziji Campaign. Of course, since Xia Guofang uses Tongyang City as a fortress to resist Qi, the material reserves in the city are sufficient, and it is probably not a problem to support it for ten or eight years. But can the guards in the city persist for so long in such a tense state where they dare not relax for twelve hours a day? Even if there are two true kings in charge, even if there are so many famous generals in Tongyang City at this time, and the defenders are divided into several rounds of duty, the defense is impenetrable... But Tongyang City itself is subject to bombardment all the time, at any time. There may be a decisive battle. Is it really a turn to rest, and can you really relax completely?
As the Qiu Sha Army and the Zhufeng Army slowly recovered, the pressure on Tongyang City was increasing day by day. Judging from what a certain guard who had been imprisoned said after drinking, he hoped that the war would last longer and bring down the Qi army, but at the same time it was really difficult! However, Cao Jie, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, didn't seem to be in any hurry, unlike in the first few days of summer - at that time, it seemed that the summer had to be destroyed in March. Now it is stable and orderly, with three powerful teams of nine soldiers attacking the city every day. It’s like training soldiers! The rest of the Eastern Front battlefield and the Northern Front battlefield are really free to do as you wish. It seems that he is fully prepared for a protracted war! When Wang Yiwu came down from the battlefield, what he heard in his ears was a squeaking sound - it was the military craftsman loosening the string of the moon-shooting crossbow. After the battle, he had to use the secret technique in time and carefully warm it with lion scorpion oil. Maintenance can ensure the service life of this expensive ordnance as much as possible. In addition, there was the sound of soldiers' uniform footsteps, the sound of nails and leaves clashing, the sound of flags blowing in the wind... Everything on the battlefield made him feel intimate. The military camp was also the place where he felt most at home. The smell of soldiers seems to be mixed in the wind. It was an indescribable taste... a bit spicy, a bit rough, but it could make people's blood boil. He grew up in this environment. Gain glory here, control your destiny here... Under the respectful eyes of the soldiers, he strode into the military tent. Chen Zeqing's wooden wheelchair is parked in front of a huge sand table. He looked at the sand table quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. There was only one person in such a large military tent. Now there are two.
"How do you feel?" Chen Zeqing asked without raising his head. "The Xia army is very tenacious and shows no signs of fatigue." Wang Yiwu, who was on the front line and took the lead in feeling the enemy's front with his fists, said. "It's so normal. After all, no one standing on the city wall is easy to deal with." Chen Zeqing said lightly. "It's already December." Wang Yiwu said in a dull voice. "Are you anxious?" Chen Zeqing asked casually. "After Commander Cao led his army to the Xia Kingdom, he fought from Jianfeng Mountain to Tongyang City and launched the Xia Kingdom's national defense formation. It only took five days. Then the three armies dispersed, attacked various places, and established additional battlefields on the east and north fronts. On the frontline battlefield... It has been ten days now! Linwu Mansion and Youping Mansion have not opened up the situation yet." There was a shadow between Wang Yiwu's brows: "We are in Tongyang City, and they have been restrained. The main force has nailed their core figure, hasn't it?" Chen Zeqing gently pulled the old blanket on his lap and said slowly: "Xia is not a country that can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. At this stage, there is no need to rush." Wang Yiwu frowned: "I have no doubts about Commander Cao. But the Jingmu War broke out in full force. It has been fighting for forty-two days now, nearly a month and a half. Mu Sheng has been fighting for a year before that! The situation is It may change at any time. But I feel that our victory or defeat should not be affected by their victory or defeat." The implication is that the war against Xia should end before the Jingmu War. This is also Qi Fang's best idea about this war.
Chen Zeqing glanced at him: "It's good that you can jump out of the Qixia battlefield and consider the war from the overall situation of the world. But this war cannot be rushed." Wang Yiwu found a seat and sat down casually, and said with some helplessness: " Senior brother, you always say this." Wang Yiwu, who was always arrogant, sometimes lost his temper. Chen Zeqing's voice was still calm: "Your eagerness is exactly what the people of Xia want. Now our start is perfect. The war has entered the middle game. What are we considering in the middle game? Wang Yiwu, stay patient." Wang Yiwu did not After finding a way, he calmed down and asked: "Senior brother, do you have great confidence in Muguo?" Chen Zeqing laughed dumbly: "Both Jingguo and Muguo are both powerful countries in the world. How can I, an outsider, turn to say that I have confidence in them?" ?" Just laughing, he looked at Wang Yiwu and said: "I just have confidence in our country of Qi." He said this with great calmness and certainty. Wang Yiwu originally crossed his legs and prepared to practice, but before that, he couldn't help but said: "It would be great if senior brother went to the battlefield on the Eastern Front." In his heart, in terms of military strategy, senior brother must be more powerful than the imperial court. The doctor thanked Huai'an for being strong. If Chen Zeqing had gone to the Eastern Front and fought a group of Xia Guofu troops, the situation would not have been so stalemate. But Chen Zeqing shook his head seriously: "I may not be as good as Xie Shuai when I go to the Eastern Front. His current style of play is the safest way. How we play on the Eastern Front actually depends, to a large extent. It depends on us Qi people, but on Xia people." Wang Yiwu opened his mouth: "Oh, I just said it casually, senior brother, please don't preach again-" Chen Zeqing had already continued: "Furthermore, in the north of Linwu, a breakthrough has been made Yes. The news I just received is that the front is now steadily advancing towards the central part of Linwu, and it is just around the corner to fully capture Linwu." Wang Yiwu closed his mouth. After a while, he smiled and said, "Not bad."
