Before Capturing Luling, battles started every day. Both the Southern and Northern armies, after stabilizing their camps, were working hard to throw rolling stones and arrows at the allied camp opposite, moving forward like ants. Advance.
But the coalition forces were not idle. In addition to fighting against the Northern and Southern armies, they were still trying their best to expand their camp.
Since there are people in the northeast and southwest, we can expand in other directions. Anyway, with the strength of the Northern and Southern armies, they cannot completely surround the huge camp. As a result, the originally approximately circular coalition camp gradually formed an outline like a sweet potato.
Wu Gen stood in his tent, looking at the smoke billowing from the coalition stronghold from a distance. He threw stones of various sizes not far in front of him, all thanks to the coalition forces.
Since the war with the coalition forces, Wu Gen has been passively defending. Today, he has transformed into an offensive side. Only then did I realize how Lu Lie and others felt about him when they were in front of Huali City. Because he discovered that there were people like him in the world who could make the camp so strong.
Attacking a stronghold is by no means an easy task, especially in this continuous ups and downs. There are sub-strongholds in the stronghold, and a large group of people cannot move at all. If you enter rashly, you will only end up being attacked from both sides. There is also the sealing formation. The fortress stones piled up in the camp are the formation's eyes. Once you fall into it, you will probably lose your troops in vain.
There was no other way, apart from suppressing the rebels, they could only gnaw away at these strong camps bit by bit like chopping firewood every day.
The whistle of a hawk came from the sky, which was the message coming back from those who were out for reconnaissance. After a while, Wan Yi hurried over and said, "Fortress leader, we have discovered the traces of the Flying Tiger Army."
"Well, how far is it from here?" Wu Gen suddenly turned his head. The Flying Tiger Army was notoriously fast.
"It's three hundred miles away. They're escorting a lot of food and grass. They can't move very fast." Seeing the change in Wu Gen's expression, Wan Yi knew what Wu Gen was worried about and hurriedly explained again.
"Oh, that's to deliver supplies to the coalition camp." Wu Gen felt relieved a little, turned around and walked towards the tent, "Draw the location of the Flying Tiger Army on the map."
In the big tent, Hu Jia, Yang Zheng, Xue Xin and others were discussing the military situation. When General Wan Yi marked the location of the Flying Tiger Army on the map, they all looked solemn.
You know, the grassland in front of Zhulu Ridge is quite flat, and there is no terrain that can be used. The Flying Tiger Army can move around here without any hindrance. They can't catch them, and they can't catch up with them. These wind-like cavalry often adopt hit-and-run tactics, which is very disgusting.
After the last battle in Huili City, the number of mastiff wolves has been reduced to more than a hundred. At present, except for the Rebel Army, there is no good way to compete with the Flying Tiger Army.
"Xue Xin, do you still remember the swamp we passed through when we first arrived at Iron Hand and came out of Qiyun Mountain?" Wu Gen crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at the map.
"I remember that the leader of the village wanted to use the swamp to trap the Flying Tiger Army, but..." Xue Xin's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh fiercely, "With people from the Ba family here, even if there is no swamp, we can create one. .”
"Yes, I just want to create a swamp, draw the Ba family's people into it, and then gather them together to annihilate them. Otherwise, it would be really annoying to have such a group of flies around." Wu Gen nodded.
"But the swamp is dead, how can the Qiulin family run into the swamp obediently? And the coalition camp is so big, where should it be located?" Hu Jia was a little confused and looked at Wu Gen in confusion.
"The East Camp is well guarded, so the Qiulin family will not enter the camp through this." Wu Gen leaned down, pointed at the map on the table, and measured it with his fingers, "The most likely location is the southeast. This area, the terrain here is flat, and there is no one blocking the way in front of the coalition camp, so I think we should set up a swamp in this area.
As for whether the Flying Tiger Army will choose another direction, it's hard to say. We just have to find a way to let him go from the southeast. How can we make them obedient? We have to start with Qiu Linhe. This man has great ambitions but little talent, is headstrong, and can't stand a little anger. I'm going to bring Niu Chao to lure the enemy. "
"Niu Chao." After hearing that they were going to take this rogue over, everyone immediately understood Wu Gen's intention. There's no way, Niu Chao's mouth is so stinky, it's so stinky that it can make people choke to death. If we were to win or lose in a scolding battle, he would definitely be the winner.
The best warrior in the world.
"Fortress Master, this time the Feihu Army escorts the food, the coalition forces will definitely send people out of the camp to respond. After all, after the food road is cut off, this batch of food and grass is very important to them." Hu Jia twirled his mustache, Pacing back and forth around the map, "How about placing the Ba family horses attached to our army to the southeast and letting them block the soldiers and horses in the coalition camp, so that the swamp terrain can be changed in time according to the battlefield situation."
"The people of the Ba family used to be okay, but I'm always a little worried about them." Xue Xin looked at the direction of the door and whispered: "Ba Yueze has come here again and again these days. To put it bluntly, he is telling us that Ba Yueze The men of the family are still his subordinates, Ba Yueze, and he has led the army for many years, so the Ba family are quite convinced by him. If anything happens, I am afraid that our army will be attacked from both sides."
Yang Zheng nodded in agreement and turned to look at Wu Gen, "Yes, the people from the Ba family have come over, but after contacting them in the past few days, their hearts are still with the Ba family. If we want to truly master this man, we must We need to kill Ba Yueze and make it more hidden. As for Ba Hong, since the matter involves restructuring, we can keep it."
Everyone present turned to look at Yang Zheng. Killing a friendly military commander was no joke. It might cause the Pakistani army to defect to the coalition again.
Wu Gen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said without comment: "We will discuss this matter later. I think it is feasible to transfer the Ba family to the southeast to stop the enemy. Let's prepare separately. The attack on the coalition camp cannot be stopped. We can push as much as we can. Baoxiang will be in charge and will also guard the East Camp. I will take Cong Yue and Xue Xin to intercept the Flying Tiger Army, and I will also take the Yi Falcon Army and the remaining mastiff wolves."
The general strategy has been decided, and several people are carefully discussing the deployment of troops in front of the map, and deducing possible strange situations.
At this moment, a man from the Southern Army suddenly came and directly asked to see Wu Gen. When he was asked to enter the account, he saw that they were the soldiers brought by Ji Jing during the raid on Breaking Barrier Pupil that day. This person should be Ji Jing's confidant. Wu Gen's heart sank when he came over in a hurry.
"Why did Ji Zhen send you here?" Wu Gen asked quickly.
"Wu Zhenfu, please go to the Confederate tent as soon as possible. Young Master has learned about the siege of Hanlu City and must withdraw his troops to come back for reinforcements. My Zhenfu is extremely anxious, so please ask Wu Zhenfu Fu Neng can go over and give me some advice." The soldier was sweating, and without caring about the other people in the tent, he directly stated his intention.
"Didn't Ji Jing intercept all the information? Oh, forget it, I'd better rush there." Wu Gen stamped his feet in a hurry, "Let's go, Wan Yi, send a guard bird to take me directly to the south. Military camp."
The matter was urgent, so Wu Gen did not dare to delay for a moment, so he took the soldier on board and flew to the Confederate camp.
Wu Gen couldn't help but be impatient. If Ji Ye really wanted to withdraw, if he intercepted the Flying Tiger Army, the results of the past few days would be wasted.
As soon as he landed in the camp, Ji Jing hurried over and whispered: "Quick, the young master is furious, saying that I dare to conceal the military situation, and he wants to leave the camp immediately."
"How did he know? Haven't you been watching?" Wu Gen was a little confused.
Ji Jing sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have been checking all the intelligence coming from the military these days, but don't forget, the lord has a single line of communication with the young master, so I can't interfere.
Today, Ji Rui directly handed over a letter to the young master. It probably mentioned that Ji Xian sent people to attack Hanlu City. The young master immediately became anxious. After giving me a good scolding, he had to prepare troops and horses to return reinforcements. It's up to you whether you can persuade him to come down. "
"Forget it, let me go and persuade him." Wu Gen was a little confused for a moment. He and Ji Jing did something wrong. There was no reason to intercept the information and hide it from the coach. This should be placed elsewhere. It would not be unfair to change to another coach and cut them both directly.
When they arrived at the big tent, the atmosphere inside was quite solemn. Ji Ye sat behind the handsome desk with a dark face. There was a piece of paper spread out on the desk. The people next to him were afraid to express their anger. Bahong also looked at him. Observe the nose, sit aside and observe the mind.
"You all, please go out. The young master and I will report some private matters." As soon as Wu Gen stepped into the camp, he shouted to the surroundings.
"Yes, everyone, get out." Ji Jing quickly helped drive people out without waiting for Ji Ye's reaction. Soon, only Wu Gen and Ji Ye were left in the big tent.
Between the two of them, Ji Jing, the old cunning guy, had already sneaked out.
"How do you explain it?" Seeing no one else around, Ji Ye raised his eyelids and stared at Wu Gen coldly.
"What are you explaining? About Ji Xian's siege of the city." Wu Gen blinked and sat next to Ji Ye.
"That's right, Wu Gen, Wu Gen, don't think about it. My eldest brother has never fought in a war. How could he withstand Ji Xian's 70,000-strong army with only those ten thousand people in the city? How dare you hide such a big thing from me? . If my father hadn’t sent me a letter telling me that he was going to return to Hanlu City, I would still be in the dark. If Hanlu City was lost, how could I see my father and elder brother again." Ji Ye finally couldn't help it anymore. He slapped the table and stood up.
Wu Gen's face also darkened. When he took out his arms and left Hanlu City, he threw the two military orders written by Ji Chen on the table and said angrily, "Ji Ye, don't show off your authority to me. Is this what it is like to be a young master? Not to mention that the young master has military orders, it is clearly stated that no matter what the situation in Hanlu City is, you are not allowed to send troops back to reinforce at will.
Given the current situation, can we deploy troops at will? Our army finally managed to draw a tie with the coalition forces. If we work harder, we can defeat the coalition forces in front of us. Once we leave, the good situation will be in vain. The coalition forces and Ji Xian join forces, with hundreds of thousands of people, how can our army fight. "
After calming down a little, Wu Gen walked to the handsome case, put his hands on the table, and looked at Ji Ye, "And, let me tell you, Hanlu City is not as dangerous as you think. Not only is the city strong and the walls thick, but also Yiying has all the equipment to defend the city, and the city can also mobilize the people to participate in the defense, with more than 10,000 defenders.
In addition, Ji Xian's troops are not 70,000, but more than 50,000. More than 10,000 people have already rushed towards us, hoping to attack us from both sides with the coalition forces in front of us. This is the intelligence that was just sent.
Also, 20,000 people from the Murong family are rushing to Hanlu City. You must also know that. You said that with so many people participating in defending the city, what is the danger? Even a pig can defend it. The most dangerous thing at the moment is us. If we don't break through the enemy's stronghold as soon as possible, waves of reinforcements from the enemy will arrive. It may be difficult to gain the upper hand, but we will be beaten again soon. "
Ji Ye turned red with anger, pointed at Wu Gen and cursed, "You are a pig. Brother, he has never fought in a war. How can he command so many people and set up defenses? There is not even a governor in the city. Who will help him?" .”
"Me." Wu Gen pointed to his nose with his thumb, "Last time when I went to Hanlu City to get these two military orders, I helped the young master arrange the city defense. To be honest, when it comes to defending the city, I, Wu Gen has never been afraid of anyone. Besides, isn't your father going to rush back? He is enough to defeat ten thousand people, so what are you afraid of?"
Ji Ye picked up the two military orders and read them hastily, "Then...you can't hide it from me. I am also the governor after all."
"Isn't it because I'm afraid that you are so energetic? You only think about being able to stand up to your eldest brother and don't care about anything else. Let me tell you, if it weren't for you and I were brothers, I wouldn't bother to hide it from you. I would go If you want to die, don't take me with you." Wu Gen heard that Ji Ye's tone was softer. He was a smart man, so when Wu Gen said this, he understood the pros and cons. But the posture was already set, and he took the opportunity to scold Ji Ye, saying that there would be no such shop after passing this village.
"You are stupid. Who doesn't know that you, Wu Gen, are a scoundrel?"
"Hey, I'm just so angry at you, you naughty bitch."
Outside the tent, hearing the sound of banging things and swearing inside, everyone looked at each other. Ji Rui wanted to go in, but was stopped by Ji Jing.
After a while, the movement in the big tent gradually died down. Ji Jing was brave enough and was about to step forward when he heard Ji Ye and Wu Gen yelling angrily from inside: "No one is allowed in, bring in wine."
