Chapter 520 Reinforcements
The so-called master bridge builder naturally did not come from the giant wooden flag.
They came all the way from Tai'an City outside the Pass. Over the years, they have accumulated rich experience in building roads and bridges outside the Pass. And because of the existence of a freak like Li Dachui, their technical level can It is said to be several levels ahead of this era.
It is indeed necessary to go to Xiangcheng to build a bridge and connect Xiangcheng and Fancheng to better resist the attack of Chu State, but more importantly, what Li Dachui wants is to attack Xiangfan Further penetration of the two places.
The further a large-scale project like this is carried out, the more manpower and financial resources will be required, and it will be easier to add sand into it. Moreover, through such a project, Ke Wuji and others can be aggravated The person's weight in He Zudao's group reduces He Zudao's suspicion of Ke Wuji and others.
Li Dachui hopes that He Zudao can remain relatively strong for a long period of time, and at least remain undefeated whether it is against Linghuye or against Chu State. This will have a great impact on his future process of unifying the world after entering the pass. more advantageous.
So, it is necessary to make the necessary investment in He Zudao now.
The purpose of importing talents, funds, and technology to Xiangfan and Xiangfan, and even letting Ke Wuji and others devote their efforts to help Feng Kuan attack Yong'an County, was all for this purpose.
Ke Wuji and Feng Kuan reined in their horses and stopped by the road.
They came to greet the troops coming from Ning County.
A total of five thousand people brought their own food and weapons.
Now who wants to say that Ke Wuji has second thoughts about He Zudao? Feng Kuan is the first to refuse.
Although Ke Wuji has always boasted that he can mobilize 20,000 elites at any time, and can organize an army of 50,000 with full mobilization, but that is only in Xingning County.
If you can really pull the team out to fight, then having 10,000 people is already considered a big deal.
But this time, Ke Wuji moved five thousand, which was half the strength of his core subordinates.
You know, Ke Wuji's side has to be prepared for attacks from the Linghuye Group in the north.
"If you move, Li Guohua from Luoyang will come over like a cat that smells fishy smell!" Feng Kuan said.
"It doesn't matter! We are prepared!" Ke Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Feng, ever since we captured Yingxian County, we have been preparing for the invasion from the north. Yingxian County's strategic location is very important , Li Guohua must regard us as a thorn in his flesh, so Yingxian County has been preparing for a big and vicious battle. Hehe, we only have one million arrows in stock."
"So many?" Feng Kuan looked envious.
“It’s not like we’re trying to belittle ourselves when we fight in the field. We definitely can’t beat them, so it’s all about defense!” Ke Wuji smiled and said, “When will Brother Feng go to Xingxian to take a look at us? If you build a city defense, you will truly understand what it means to be as solid as a rock and as stable as a mountain.”
Feng Kuan shook his head: "There is no city in the world that cannot be conquered. Back then, we thought Xiangcheng was unbreakable, but what happened later?" There is no city that must be defended!" Ke Wuji said: "But if Li Guohua really attacks us, how can Yang Lixin just watch and do nothing? If he moves, the pressure on my side will be greatly reduced, and the canal will be destroyed. On both sides of the Taiwan Strait, our strength is not bad.”
“Yes, you still have the Cao Gang!”
“That’s why I can come here with confidence, there are those in Ying County and Ning County. He Yiming is in charge of the overall situation. "Ke Wuji said: "Besides, the officers Zhang Quanyi sold to me were quite good."
"Are you really confident about them?"
"Change your heart with your heart!" Ke Wuji laughed: "These people have nowhere to go, and we treat them with sincerity, so of course they will do it with us. In the past two years The rapid growth of our army's combat effectiveness is due to the training of these people." As he spoke, there were already sentry horses running back in the distance, and further away, there were billows of smoke rising into the sky. That was the sign of a large army of people marching.
“Coming!” Ke Wuji smiled.
Although they are friendly forces, Feng Kuan cannot let them enter Xiangcheng or Fancheng, and can only camp outside the city.
However, in order to express his gratitude to Ke Wuji's troops for coming to support, Feng Kuan sent people to build the camp in advance. At this moment, the two men were stationed less than a mile away. place.
After a while, the first thing that caught their eyes was the cavalry.
Compared to those forces in the north, such as the Beiting Protectorate or the troops in Linghuye, cavalry is the main force in combat. There are often thousands of cavalry under their command. In the eight towns in the south, because The water system is criss-crossed, and countless rivers cut the vast land into pieces. Large-scale cavalry operations are greatly affected. Compared with the north, the south is richer and has a large population, so there are many cities everywhere. These Large and small cities also have a significant impact on cavalry operations.
In the south, infantry is obviously more useful than cavalry.
But small-scale cavalry assaults sometimes have a decisive impact on a war.
So in the south, those who can become cavalry are all brave men in the army, and they are basically subordinate to the core force personally commanded by the general of an army.
This time, the people who led five thousand troops to support Feng Kuan in the battle were also famous in the south.
His name is Zhan Zhao, the leader of the Demon Sect’s Houtu Banner.
After being caught by Lin Heng, this man almost lost his life. Fortunately, after he was rescued, Li Dachui healed his injuries.
With a pill jointly refined by Fu Qingzhu and Yi Ming, and with Li Dachui's Qiankun Qi helping him sort out his internal injuries, he recovered to the best of his ability within a few months, which made him even more... Surprisingly, after this disaster, the cultivation level that was stuck at the eighth level of Xuanyuan showed faint signs of breakthrough.
This is of course due to Li Dachui’s elixir.
Li Dachui had six pieces of the same medicine, one of which was given to Zhan Zhao, and the other five were later given to the old master of Danyang Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword. Although this medicine is not as miraculous as the God-Returning Pill, it is also one of the few miraculous medicines in the world.
Zhan Zhao is now completely devoted to Li Dachui.
Especially when he heard Su Qi say that Li Dachui actually planned to start a war in Yong'an County in order to save him, and finally killed Lin Heng.
Of course this is not the case. For Li Dachui, rescuing Zhan Zhao was a matter of course. But since he thought so, Li Dachui certainly would not tell him. Isn’t that a good thing for such a person to be inexplicably grateful to him? ?
Seeing Feng Kuan and Ke Wuji from a distance, Zhan Zhao grabbed the horse's belly and accelerated towards them.
Seeing Zhan Zhao and the three hundred riders behind him, Feng Kuan narrowed his eyes.
The Demon Cult is indeed a great religion that has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are many talents in the sect. Look at these hundreds of cavalrymen. Each one of them is a top-notch expert. Compared with the cavalry under his command, but Much stronger.
"Zhan Zhao has met Elder Ke and General Feng!" Zhan Zhao turned over and dismounted, clasped his hands in fists and cupped his hands in salute.
Feng Kuan jumped off his horse and greeted him with a big smile, "Master Zhanqi, I have heard about the name for a long time. I am honored to meet you. I am honored to meet you!"
