Autumn arrives on the tenth day and I don’t know how old it is, and all the trees in Maple Mountain are red all night.
Inner Beihai is a flat river, and after crossing the Yishui River, it is as smooth as a smooth road to the Beihai.
Yuan Futong laid out his army and various monsters and beasts along the Yishui River, trying to stop the war in front of the Yishui defense line.
Located on the side of Pingbo City in Beihai are Gucheng and Jicheng. The large maple forest between the two cities dyes the northern land a frosty red, and walking out from the maple leaves is a white tree. A's army.
The person in charge was Meng Chang, who was supposed to guard the first military formation in Yicheng. Standing behind him were Deng Chanyu and Lian Yong.
Originally, he was not planning to take Deng Chanyu with him, but if he wanted to send troops, he would have to agree with the military order. The person in charge of the camp was none other than Deng Jiugong.
It was he who originally wanted to call his daughter back to the army, and it was he who asked his daughter to join the team when Meng Chang reported the battle plan. After repeated attempts, it made Meng Chang feel quite uncomfortable.
However, I followed him. With someone like Deng Chanyu who is highly skilled in concealed weapons, he could have a big effect on this operation.
Deng Chanyu, who was standing behind Meng Chang at this moment, had stars in her eyes. She had never done anything so exciting before, and she didn’t know why Meng Chang was so courageous. She really wanted to dig into his brain to see all those fantastic ideas. How on earth did you come up with it.
The three thousand cavalrymen went into battle lightly. One person and two horses exchanged horses. They followed the traces of the beasts that had previously pursued Xiong Kang. Then they bypassed Yicheng and headed towards the East China Sea through the mountains to open a road. When they encountered water, they built a bridge. The map circled around the coastline, less than a hundred miles away from Pingbo City where Yuan Futong was stationed.
The mountain roads and waterways at this time were not easy to travel. There were many snakes, insects, rats and ants along the way. If Qi Ax hadn't released the evil spirit all the way, more than a centaur would have been lost in the mountains and forests alone. Thanks to this, it was an era of bloodline awakening.
We also encountered many strange beasts wandering along the way. If there were many monsters, we would lure the enemy deeper and break them in the military formation. If there were fewer monsters, Deng Chanyu would destroy them with flying knives.
In short, the army finally reached its destination without any danger.
Three or five reconnaissance cavalry came from the southwest, and the leader was Wu Gan. This guy was quite out of touch. If he was left in the camp, Zou Wu really couldn't suppress him, so he might as well take him with him, which would be just right. This is something Wu Gan has been looking forward to.
"General, there are no strange animals as we go south. The road is smooth. We will disguise ourselves and walk along the Chi Road to Zhu City. We will hunt with flags in Zhu City. We will arrange the layout like our Yicheng army to guard against the passage of diseased beasts in Yicheng. .”
Mengchang spread out the map, silently marked it with charcoal, and drew an X on the road in Zhucheng.
Another three or five scouts came from the northeast, and the leader was Lian Yong. Laicheng belonged to the outside of the northeast. They traveled unimpeded along the way. Except for setting up jams on the road to check the two stations, it was easy to get around. Kai, when we arrived at Lai City, we saw that the defenders in the city were weak, and a large number of soldiers gathered to calm the situation, just like the twelve cities outside the border at that time.
Listening to Lian Yong's brief description, Meng Chang felt that if he didn't steal him, he would be sorry for this great opportunity.
It's just that the purpose of this battle is different from the situation of conquering the twelve cities in the outer North Sea at that time. I can only restrain my restless little hand and mark a "?" on Laicheng.
The army continued to wait quietly, without lighting a fire to make rice. They ate the hard wheat cakes in their arms and swallowed them with saliva. Occasionally, they carefully took out the few cold drinks left in the water bag and sipped them in small sips. The general had ordered that no fires or boiling water should be made in the open air, nor could the soldiers drink raw water, unless they were under shelter at night.
This is also the military rule set by Meng Chang.
A black spot in the sky in the distance slowly grew larger. After getting closer, a closer look revealed that it was Xiong Kang who had miraculously recovered quickly. He was also the "ace pilot" of this cavalry raid and was responsible for detecting the enemy's movements in the city.
Fortunately, Xiong Kang has good eyesight, otherwise Meng Chang would really have to bring Bian Ji with him. Bian Ji's ghost skills are much easier to use than high-altitude reconnaissance.
"General Meng, the city of Gu has been discovered. The number of defenders is only a few thousand, but they are all armored men. The city is high and the walls are thick, so it is inconvenient to attack the city."
"There are more troops in the city. Before the men of the city go to Pingbo, there should be tens of thousands of troops."
Mengchang had expected that there would be a lot of garrison troops in the two cities, but he never thought that there would be so many left. He didn't know if the news of stealing the Beihai territory outside the city leaked out, and the princes in the inner Beihai territory began to behave unruly. , the army has pressed down on the border, but some strength is still left in the city.
Such corruption of morals really made Meng Chang feel shameless and unwilling to protect his people. He always liked to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart, which is not what a gentleman would do.
He was just strolling around, not a savage beast.
"It's a bit difficult to handle!"
To pass through the jungle here, you must go to Gucheng or Jicheng. Otherwise, wherever you go, you will easily be spotted by the army, closing the door and beating the dogs.
It's not impossible if Lao Lin sneaks in again to steal Laicheng. After Laicheng is pacified, Yuan Futong's troops can be stretched after stealing the city.
It's just that I'm not going to be a death squad. After the military formation has been turbulent for a while, I still have to find a way to return to the army. Going back to Laicheng is either the princes or the sea, so how can I go back?
He had no intention of martyrdom, so he wouldn't do it so heroically.
The general was meditating on how to break the situation, and everyone did not interrupt him. They went about their own business maintaining their weapons and seriously damaged horses.
No one blamed the general for losing 3,000 war horses just for a wild imagination, and asked 3,000 elite armored cavalry to accompany him.
If you follow your general, you will naturally follow him to the end. My general is invincible in the world and has unparalleled intelligence and scheming.
He brought General Deng with him in person, could he still harm them? General Meng led his troops. Except for the defeat of Fengyang, there was never a situation where the battle losses were too high.
Mengchang frowned and looked at the two shackle-like cities. Sometimes he raised his head and gestured with something, and sometimes he lowered his head and traced the map with his fingers, seeming to be thinking about specific tactics.
"Incorruptible!"
"The general is here!"
"How many pairs of Beihai yellow armors did I ask you to take before leaving?"
"General, three hundred copies in total!"
Mengchang nodded, his eyes kept walking among the generals, looking at the trusting and admiring eyes of each pair, making calculations in his heart.
"General Xiong Kang, this battle is extraordinary. Do you dare to risk your life?"
"When I left southern Xinjiang, I had no intention of going back alive. If there was a military order, it would be by force."
Mengchang immediately spread out the map and asked everyone to gather.
"Xin Ping, at midnight tomorrow, you take Bai Jia and change into yellow clothes, smear them with blood and ashes, go around to the direction of Zhucheng and make a retreat towards Gucheng. You will falsely claim that Zhucheng is defeated and open the city gate."
"General Deng has led 500 armored cavalry to hide on both sides. If he goes to rescue the enemy in Gucheng, he should go down to the city first, and then ambush and return to rescue the enemy. If he does not rescue, Xin Ping will seize the gate and allow General Deng to drive straight in."
"promise!"
Deng Chanyu and Xin Ping obeyed the order, but Deng Chanyu looked a little unhappy.
"Taste, it's unheard of to cheat the city by dressing up. I'm afraid it will hurt your reputation!"
Mengchang waved his hand indifferently: "Wu Gan, tell General Deng, how did we deal with those grandsons in the outer Beihai area?"
"Madam, the general dares to use cunning tactics. General Deng Zhizhong personally leads the troops to open the city gate. Those who surrender will be accepted, and those who do not surrender will break through the city and kill them. There is no need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality when dealing with this guy who helps torture monsters."
Those who can follow him and travel thousands of miles are all the best veterans in the army, and they mainly follow orders.
Deng Chanyu had also fought for many years with his father and Grand Master, so he couldn't be called pedantic.
The main reason is that she is worried that if she keeps using these deceitful methods, Meng Lang's reputation will be tarnished in the end. If someone else uses this trick, she won't mind stealing the city or attacking by force.
"?"
"What did you just call me?"
Wu Gan was so courageous that he actually dared to joke about it in public. To his surprise, Deng Chanyu didn't pick up the two knives and beat him up. Instead, she glanced at Meng Chang with some embarrassment, as if she was watching his reaction.
"Ahem, let's get down to business."
"As for this city, well, I originally wanted to be honest and mediocre, but Lao Lian has always been honest and loyal, so I may not be qualified for the job."
"Do you guys have a vote?"
There is no one else here. Xin Ping and Deng Chanyu attacked Gucheng. Lian Yong cannot do tricks. Who is left?
Xiong Kang looked "gifted" and could probably alert the enemy from a distance of a hundred meters. Wu Gan was the only one who could do this.
Deliberately ignoring Wu Gan's excited look, Meng Chang let out a long sigh.
"Oh, forget it. I like General Wu Gan's loyalty and bravery the most. It's a pity that he is still young. This trip is extremely dangerous. It's better not to hurt my close and beloved general. I'll handle it myself."
Wu Gan was furious: "General An, how dare you insult me? How can I, Wu Gan, be greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just a city gate, why can't I steal the city?"
"General, please don't look down on us. Don't worry and leave it to me. Wu Gan will definitely live up to the general's trust."
"Oh? General Wu usually has a bad temper. What should you do if the defenders anger you? What should you do if General Wu doesn't succeed?"
"A certain family also has a strategy. Only Wu Gan died in the battle, and there is no Wu Gan who survived. If you can't open the city gate through deception, I will personally lead my brothers to break out a bloody path for you."
Meng Chang had a look of emotion on his face. He was really a good, upright and loyal general, but he was often prone to being confused. If he didn't give him a slap, even nine cows could not pull him back if he had a stubborn temper.
Meng Chang gently patted Wu Gan on the shoulder.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm very pleased that General Wu has such a great ambition."
"Take the vanguard officer Wu Gan and take two hundred armors to change into yellow clothes and go out of the mountains and forests. Tomorrow at the time of Shenshi, go straight to the city from the direction of Gucheng and enter the city together with the defeated army."
"When my army approaches, seize the city gates and open the city to charge."
"Follow Xiong Kang, the general of the reconnaissance cavalry battalion, to patrol the four directions to guard against strange beasts. When the army reopens the city gates and enters the street fighting, kill the city men and the guard general to disrupt the enemy's command line."
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Xiong Kang had a playful look on his face and asked in shock: "In this world of military warfare, is there anyone who directly assassinates princes and generals?"
"Specials are used in wartime. You are a barbarian and I am a philistine. How can you be so pedantic? If something goes wrong, it's mine. I don't care about my reputation. What do you care about?"
Xiong Kang murmured in his heart, if someone dies on me, what does it have to do with you?
But it doesn't matter to him. He is a barbarian and a small soldier. What kind of etiquette does he have to talk about as a prince? At present, the army is alone and deep, so it is a good thing to win. He is the one who holds the sword, but isn't it General Meng who gives the order?
"My fellow soldiers, we have not traveled thousands of miles for wealth, nor have we captured the city to defend it. No one is allowed to plunder wealth or increase the burden. After seizing the city, we will kill all the defenders and leave no one behind."
"General Deng, if the city is captured, immediately return with me to the plain between Pingbo and the city."
"Do not indulge in war, do not plunder, and do not act on your own initiative."
Meng Chang glanced at the heavy-faced people, arousing Qi Ax's evil spirit, and shouted with murderous intent.
"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
"promise!"
Immediately, the generals leading the armies began to prepare for battle, packing up their armor and weapons, cooking pots, and recharging their energy for the battle in the early morning of tomorrow.
But before talking about Yicheng, the generals who originally attacked Chaoge's army rushed to the first line of defense to assemble under the military order jointly signed by Deng Jiugong and Kong Xuan. The flags were hunted, which disturbed the sleeping Fei in Yicheng.
When I woke up, I saw the Chaoge army that was just gathering and had no intention of going out.
Fei snorted and continued to turn over, exuding a stronger miasma, and fell asleep comfortably again.
I'm a little nervous, so I will publish three chapters today, and resume two chapters from tomorrow. I will write more words on weekdays, and give little surprises to my father-in-law from time to time.
Please give me a monthly ticket and keep my liver.
