Chapter 8527 Charge
Sixiang City.
Qiu Muliang frowned.
Actually, he was still worried.
Even with General Yan Junning around, he still felt uneasy.
The reason is simple.
Yan Junning can only be regarded as a regular and established general, not a famous general.
If you give him enough soldiers and horses to set up defense.
He can probably arrange things in an orderly manner without leaving too many loopholes.
But the problem now is that most of the imperial court's troops, the troops available near the capital and Sixiang City, have been deployed to the front line.
There are not many left to fight.
At the time of the founding of this dynasty, there were many guardsmen in the army and few who could fight.
“How many troops can Sixiang City send?”
Yan Junning asked.
“Ten thousand!”
Qiu Muliang stretched out a finger.
“Only ten thousand people?”
Yan Junning’s eyebrows twitched.
“How come there are so few people?”
Yan Junning found it difficult to understand.
"There are only so many. This was only after rectification after I took office in Sixiang City. Before, there were not even more than 10,000 people who could fight."
A trace of bitterness flashed in Qiu Muliang's eyes.
“The guardsmen in Sixiang City are all rotten. When I first came, the nearby gentry occupied most of the land in the guardshouse, and the guardsmen became half of them. "A domestic slave."
"Not to mention the lack of salary, let's just say that there is an eighty-year-old man in this guardhouse. A five-year-old child is simply ridiculous.”
“I put some pressure on myself, killed a lot of people, and offended a lot of people. Only then did I save 10,000 people and let them go. The imperial court sent the commander-in-chief Xiang Renyu to Sixiang City to train these ten thousand people and then recruit more troops to expand the army..."
"But before we had time, such a big thing happened again."
Qiu Muliang sighed and shook his head.
In front of others, he is a cold-blooded county guard, but in front of his colleagues, he does not need to hide his inner worries.
“Ten thousand is ten thousand, plus the ten thousand I brought, it’s exactly twenty thousand...”
“That’s enough, twenty thousand is enough! "Yan Junning suddenly showed a smile.
"Twenty thousand versus fifty or sixty thousand, is that really okay?"
Qiu Muliang is not good at fighting, but judging from the number of people alone, our side is indeed inferior.
Although fighting a war cannot only depend on the number of people, but also on the personal ability of the commander.
However, Qiu Muliang is not very optimistic about Yan Junning and Xiang Renyu.
Yan Junning is a defensive general, while Xiang Renyu is a fierce general who charges and kills fiercely. Neither of them is a commander. They can only be generals, not commanders.
If the enemy could come up with a surprise attack on Sixiang City, there must be a powerful commander in charge.
Think about it, there are only a few handsome men with this prestige who can lead three different forces.
But no matter which one he is, his ability must be higher than Qiu Muliang and Xiang Renyu.
"If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be successful."
"I won't mince words in front of Mr. Qiu...Although I come from a general family, my personal abilities Mediocre, far inferior to my sister Yan Huanyan.”
"Therefore, it is not me who is commanding the twenty thousand people to fight this battle of four elephants, but someone else. The imperial court will appoint a general to lead this battle."
Yan Junning gave Qiu Muliang came up with an answer that surprised him.
"Who? Which adult is it?"
Qiu Muliang asked immediately.
In the past, he would not have asked, but now, he seems a little impatient.
After all, what this adult has to do is too important.
“I don’t know.”
Yan Junning shook his head.
"How could this be? Doesn't the court tell you your identity?" Qiu Muliang said in shock. "I didn't say anything, I just told me to be ready. The general will definitely come."
"The imperial court will not deceive us. The battle of the Four Elephants is too important. Your Majesty and the elders must be very cautious. They will send out suitable candidates," Yan Junning said.
"Then you can only trust the imperial court."
Qiu Muliang thought about it and felt that he had no other choice but to trust the imperial court.
“The Battle of Four Symbols, I think, is comparable to the Battle of the Founding of a Country.”
“If we can win this battle, Beili, Dameng, and Bozhou Yang’s family will all The damage was serious, and through this battle, the imperial court was able to reorganize its internal affairs..."
"In this way, there is hope for Daqi ZTE."
Yan Junning raised his eyebrows.
In fact, not only Yan Junning, but also Qiu Muliang can see that this battle of four elephants is indeed an extremely important battle.
Victory or not is even related to the future of Daqi.
If this battle is lost, Daqi will be in danger.
"Daqi will definitely win. I have decided to live and die with Sixiang City!"
Qiu Muliang said calmly.
Although his voice was calm, the determination in his tone was unquestionable.
“Same.”
Yan Junning nodded, his expression extremely serious.
As a general, facing a battle like the Battle of Four Elephants that was related to the future destiny of Da Qi, he had no way out but to fight to the death.
……
On the hillside.
Beili Tu was sitting astride a horse and looked back at the mountains.
The huge Hengduan Mountains look like a giant dragon crawling on the ground.
Behind him, there were many people standing.
Everyone looked dusty and embarrassed.
But their energy is exceptionally strong.
"We broke through, Vice General Li. How many of our troops have crossed the mountain now?" Beilitu asked.
Deputy General Li Weili is a tall and burly man, but he is very sophisticated. This is why he can achieve the position of deputy general, and it does not rely entirely on fighting.
"There are about more than 13,000 people, and there are about 6,000 people behind us. When the team behind us arrives, we will have 20,000 people."
"Where are the horses?" Beili Tu asked.
"There are only more than a thousand horses, which is already very difficult." The deputy general lowered his head and said.
"More than a thousand horses... let's make do with it. When we join the friendly forces, they will provide us with horses."
Bei Litu frowned, then relaxed.
"Go and gather people together. I want to lecture you." Beili Tu ordered.
"Yes."
Afterwards, Vice General Li Weili quickly conveyed the order, and some noisy sergeants began to organize the team.
“Soldiers, I am Beili Tu.”
“We have just completed an almost impossible task.”
"We conquered the Hengduan Mountains and successfully crossed over."
"However, we also cut off our own escape route with our own hands."
"From now on, we will Go forward courageously!"
"Charge, charge, charge, target, Daqi Sixiang City!"
After that, Beili Tu took his men and left here quickly.
When the nearby scouts arrived, there were only some traces of people and horses staying here, and they arrived a step too late.
In fact, the possibility of arriving in time is very small.
There are so many exits in the Hengduan Mountains, who knows where they come from.
Yan Junning could only place scouts wherever possible.
