At the same time that Cao Jingzong and Yuanying started fighting, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Wang Jing also began to break out of camp, and the mighty army marched toward the territory of Western Chu.
The forwards have already taken Si County, and there are still many soldiers and horses behind them who have not set off in East Lake.
Cars and horses are connected as far as the eye can see.
The spies from the Western Chu side had abandoned all the cities and towns, but there were still many informants in the countryside.
These spies were severely shocked after seeing the size of the Huai army.
"The Huai Army claims to have an army of 600,000... I didn't expect it to be true, not a claim!"
Seeing the mighty red tide of soldiers and horses passing by, the spies pretending to be ordinary people were shocked and speechless.
It is common for large armies to send out troops and falsely report their own strength.
But seeing such a large-scale army with their own eyes, these spies suddenly discovered that the Huai army was not lying. There were really hundreds of thousands of soldiers coming.
People like Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang certainly knew that the Huai Army did not falsely report its strength, and they had a clear understanding of the strength of the Huai Army.
But naturally they would not tell these things to their soldiers.
That's why these spies were so shocked.
…
Si County.
Thick smoke and dust rose from the ground in the distance, and the thunderous cavalry passed by. These cavalry were all wearing red armor, and the flags were flapping in the wind.
These cavalrymen had a strong aura. When approaching the city that had been captured by their own side, they did not forget to be on guard and came outside the city in a charging attitude.
With a creak, the city gate opened and the cavalry entered the city.
After confirming that there was no other situation in the city, the cavalry passed the message back.
soon.
A mighty army of infantry arrived outside the city surrounded by a large dragon flag. The city was not big and could not accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops, so the mighty army could only camp outside the city.
"Your Majesty, the personal guards have taken over the city defense. It's getting late today, so please go into the city and rest!"
Xie Hui, who came with the army, urged his horse, came closer and said.
Wang Jing's mount is still the Wuhua Cong that he got earlier. After careful training, this horse has become a fourth-level creature. Not only can it travel thousands of miles a day, its explosive power and strength are comparable to those of military commanders of the same level.
A good horse can bring great blessings to military commanders when the horse and man are united.
Like the famous horses in history, such as Red Rabbit, Jueying, Claw Huang Feidian, Lu and other war horses,
Like the famous historical generals, he has ninth-level potential.
A ninth-level top general, coupled with a ninth-level war horse, the two combined into one, can even have a killing effect on the top generals in certain situations.
For example, in history, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"Well, let's set up camp first! By the way, where are Mai Tiezhang and Uncle Zhou Feng?"
Wang Jing rode a five-flowered horse and asked as he walked.
Xie Hui said: "Back to the king, the 50,000 forward troops led by the two generals have approached Tanghe County. There is a river blocking the road here, and we haven't had time to cross the river... Beyond Tanghe County, we will reach Lingbi!"
Wang Dingding nodded.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, you can leave matters such as setting up camp and marching to your subordinates, but you must know clearly the positions of the troops and horses, including the positions of the troops and the generals.
This time, the South Route Army's forwards were Mai Tiezhang and Zhou Fengshu.
Among them, Mai Tiezhang has been guarding Xihe all year round. He has a very good understanding of the geographical situation of Xichu. In addition, he has good qualifications and abilities. As a striker to win the jackpot, no one in the army, Lieutenant General or Colonel would be dissatisfied.
As for Uncle Zhou Feng, he is still just a guerrilla general, just following Mai Tiezhang to take credit.
If you encounter any trouble.
The two seventh-level generals Mai Tiezhang and Zhou Fengshu can also take care of each other.
afternoon.
The army began to camp outside the city. There were cloud carts to transport supplies, such as tents, ropes, axes and other luggage. There was no shortage. With the efforts of many soldiers, the camp was quickly set up.
Flags were erected in each camp, flying in the wind.
Wang Jing had already handed over chores such as setting up camp and sorting out the soldiers to Murong Shaozong. This famous ninth-level general who had recently defected was very familiar with these military affairs and could handle them easily.
Although he has not made any meritorious service, his status in the Huai Army has not yet been determined.
But since Wang Jing regarded him as an assistant and entrusted him with many confidential military affairs, it can be seen that he will definitely be reused in the future.
A ninth-level famous general, if nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to have the opportunity to lead an army on his own like Fu Youde in the future.
Inside the city.
Wang Jing had just bathed and changed clothes when his personal guards came to report the military situation.
"Huh? Cao Jingzong has already started fighting with Yuanying!"
Wang Jing glanced casually and suddenly saw the highlighted information in the intelligence. Above, there is the ninth-level general Yang Dayan from the Northern Wei army, and there is also the ninth-level general Pei Sui from Cao Jingzong's side.
"Yang Dayan and Pei Sui, two more famous ninth-level generals have appeared!"
"Leave aside Yang Dayan for now, this Pei Sui will probably choose to join me!"
Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of Nanliang, has fallen.
As for Wang Jing, members of the Xiao family defected to him, as well as famous Nanliang generals such as Cao Jingzong and Yang Kan, who could be regarded as inheriting part of Nanliang's heritage.
As long as Pei Sui comes to the land of Jianghuai, he will definitely choose to join the Huai army.
Not only him, but also Wei Rui, who has not yet arrived.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying about rural parties.
For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, top talents would not easily seek refuge with princes elsewhere, just like Tian Feng Jushuo from Hebei would never go south to seek refuge with Cao Cao.
They only took refuge with the princes who occupied Hebei.
The same is true in the Chinese world today. People of the same generation, and people who still know each other at the same time, have become rural parties in this strange and familiar world.
Famous ministers and generals who originally served under the monarchs of their time would habitually choose to defect to their original masters.
Only those famous ministers and generals who have suffered misfortunes in history and have been wronged will choose to defect to other forces.
This is a natural choice deep in the human heart. Even the top heavenly generals are not immune to this.
"Pei Sui's strength is not as good as that of Yang Dayan, but his ability to lead troops is worse than his opponent... Both of them have their own advantages! Yuan Ying will definitely not go north in a short time!"
Wang Jing's mind was spinning.
He currently only has one ninth-level general, Murong Shaozong, and Wang Jing is planning to ask him to dispatch an army to compete with Fan Zeng of Western Chu.
Therefore, Wang Jing would never easily send Murong Shaozong to support Cao Jingzong...
For him, as long as the south can be held back, it will be fine.
After reading the military situation.
Wang Jing shook his hand casually, and the paper recording the information turned into powder.
…
The second day.
The army began to march towards the west.
On the march of the army. Continuously, scouts came to report military information, and the forward army that had reached Tanghe County had already collided with the Western Chu army.
