Because of the terrain.
Wu Nian's five captains were divided into four military camps. There were heroes and elites who defected from Guangyang Mansion to any military camp, but in the end they were all led to Wu Nian.
In the morning, the sky is not completely bright yet.
Wu Nian woke up, washed up and had breakfast. He took a walk and practiced martial arts in front of the big tent. After sweating all over and taking a hot bath.
Wu Nian learned that another group of 532 strong and common people came to seek refuge with him, so he took Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng with him to provide relief.
In the school grounds.
Five hundred and thirty-two strong men, not looking like an army at all, stood scattered. Some were armed, some were bare-handed.
They have different looks, tall and short, fat and thin, and are old and young. Some are poor and some are well off.
The only thing they have in common is that they both have a heart.
A sincere heart to "drive out the Tartars and regain Liaodong".
In front of them, there was a small military point station made of wood. In full view of everyone, Wu Nian stepped onto the stage.
Wu Nian took a look at them first. Although he had seen many batches, he was still very moved. Along the way, he has countless supporters.
Without the support of the common people, where would the glory of the generals who assisted the Han Dynasty be possible?
They complement each other.
Wu Nian took a deep breath and suppressed the emotion in his heart. Moved, moved, these people are of little use for the time being.
He said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I am Wu Nian. I am very grateful to you for coming here. But sending you to the battlefield now means sending you to death."
"I won't do this kind of thing. Now, I will simply reorganize you. Send someone to Jiang County in the rear. Someone will select you. The strong ones will be trained as reserve soldiers in Jiang County. The relatively weak ones will , or the old ones, responsible for logistics.”
"I hope you can understand."
The elites were slightly agitated. They didn't expect that for a small person like themselves, Wu Nian would come to lecture him personally.
Of course they had no objections to Wu Nian's arrangements.
"I am willing to obey the general's arrangements." I don't know who said it, and more than 500 strong men bent down and saluted, saying the same thing.
Wu Nian nodded and immediately arranged for people to take care of things. He also got off the military platform and prepared to go back with Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng.
At this moment, a member of the Qianhu family rushed over, walked to Wu Nian's side, and said to Wu Nian and the others: "General. There is a person who claims to be a confidant of Cheng Yulian, a big family in Yangwu County. He said that Cheng Yulian Yulian is willing to act as an insider and set fire to create chaos in the city."
Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
Although the people are very enthusiastic, it is just like what Wu Nian said just now. Jingzhuang has no training, no weapons or armor, and is of little use. Sending them to attack the city will only send them to death.
The person who can really open up the situation must be an influential, powerful and courageous hero in the county.
"I got it. When entertaining this person, don't leak the news." Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Qianhu knew it was powerful, so he immediately complied and turned around to leave.
"Let's go." Wu Nian greeted Wang Gui and said loudly. The three of them returned to the Chinese army's tent together. Wu Nian came to the corner of the tent, rummaged among several large wooden boxes, and took out a booklet.
"Here. Cheng Yulian, from Yangwu County, is thirty-two years old. He has a bold and loyal personality and likes to read history books and military books." After Wu Nian read the book, he handed it to Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng.
Chen Jiagui's infiltration into Guangyang Mansion was very terrifying. Wu Nian has the most basic information on the leading figures in Yangwu County.
"Judging from the report, this person named Cheng Yulian is trustworthy. But his method is unreliable. Setting fire to his own house in the city?" Wang Gui frowned, laughing and laughing.
"Yes. He set fire to his own home. If no one responds and sets fire with him, he will be killed quickly." Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly and sat back on the Taishi chair, shaking his head.
"The plan is simple. But it is also more real. If he claims to be able to help me open the city gate, then I will be suspicious." Wu Nian also returned to his seat and sat down, holding his chin and said: "The chance is not great, but you can try try."
"It's much better than us attacking the city."
"The only problem is that we are far away from Yangwu County. If we go straight to Yangwu County, the defenders in the city will be on heightened alert. Cheng Yulian's plan will naturally fail."
Wu Nian stood up, took out the map from the big wooden box and spread it out. After studying it carefully, he raised his head and said to Wang Gui and Zhang: "Give me the order. Tomorrow we will break up the camp and open the stronghold. We will go straight to Shanning County and pretend to attack the mountain." Ning. After arriving in Shanning, I personally led thousands of soldiers to attack Yangwu County."
"Yes." Zhang Sheng responded, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian picked up the map and rolled it up slowly, his eyes shining brightly.
The battlefield is constantly changing and opportunities are fleeting. If you don't act immediately, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The internal operations are very risky and may be discovered by the Mongolian people at any time.
But the main thing is.
Wu Nian raised his head and looked at Wang Gui, and sneered: "Now Guangyang Mansion only has three soldiers from ten thousand households, Wan Yanxian, Jin Ruiyun, and Hou Wancheng. Chen Jiagui's spies are all over Guangyang Mansion. Any troubles will be concealed. But my eyes and ears. They don’t have the ability to play tricks on us.”
At the end of the speech, Wu Nian held his head high and his chest exuded with unparalleled domineering energy.
Offense and defense have changed.
If these three guys dared to go out of the city for a decisive battle, it would be easy for him.
But do they dare?
Chunyuan had six soldiers of ten thousand households, but he did not dare to fight him.
"Yes." Wang Gui nodded heavily. This was the overwhelming strength formed in the local war after conquering Xingshi Mountain.
Why did Mengyuan Dog put up a seven-star array for defense?
Because they are weak.
Following Wu Nian's order, soldiers from four camps and five thousand households began to prepare. Early the next morning, Wu Nian broke out of camp and headed straight for Shanning County.
According to the plan, he and Cheng Yulian would not have any contact during this process.
Any day will do. All he had to do was lead his troops to the gates of Yangwu City at night, and sneak attack and shout outside. When Cheng Yulian heard the sound of killing, he would naturally set fire to the city and cause chaos.
This battle is a gamble.
If Cheng Yulian risked his life, someone in the gambling city would set fire to him and take the opportunity to cause chaos in the city.
............
Guangyang City.
In the study of Jin Ruiyun's residence. Jin Ruiyun rarely wore his favorite traditional round iron helmet. Instead, he put on a black leather hat, bent over with a brush in hand, and wrote on the desk.
"General. Wu Nian led five soldiers from ten thousand households to attack Shanning County."
A soldier broke in from outside, with a serious expression on his face.
Jin Ruiyun's eyes flashed, "I know." After saying that, he continued to write with the pen.
"Yes." The soldier immediately became energetic when he saw Jin Ruiyun being so calm. He is indeed our peerless general. He responded loudly, turned around and went down in a majestic manner.
"Tiger!"
Jin Ruiyun wrote this word on the paper.
