Chapter 965 National War (1)
The "meeting" across the canyon is over;
What ended together is that in fact, both sides had more or less feelings during this period. Some kind of tacit understanding.
That night,
Gou Moli issued a military order, and the entire army made preparations overnight. At the same time, after eating so many days of "food", from the food road behind Fan City, Food finally began to be transported here.
The next morning, more than 30,000 barbarian soldiers formed the main force of the Chinese army, plus more than 10,000 soldiers who were either forced or bought early. In short, the mixed soldiers composed of all the forces in the Chu area who were packed up were only 50,000 in full, but to the outside world They raised the banner of a hundred thousand troops, and after resting in place for a month, they started again and headed towards Guyue City.
Finally,
five days later,
Fan City's vanguard sentries appeared twenty miles north of Guyue City, but the defenders of Guyue City did not blindly Unable to defend themselves, on the contrary, they took the initiative and started small-scale fights with the sentries from Fan City.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of the real Chu aristocrats.
Whether it was the Qingluan Army or the Dugu Army back then, if taken individually, they were both top-notch elites, and the same was true for Xie's Army.
So, in terms of the sentry cavalry battle, Fancheng did not take advantage of it. What's more, the Xie family's sentry cavalry not only broke through the Fancheng army's sentry cavalry defense line, but also continued to penetrate deeper into the north. The situation appeared within the sight of Fan Chengjun's army.
This is a great shame!
For the Yan army, it has almost become normal to rely on the strength of cavalry to suppress opponents. Generally speaking, unless it is a specific terrain, whoever has stronger cavalry will often control the battlefield vision. Advantages.
Now, someone else is backing me up.
Although this is a savage army, precisely because they are the most savage troops in the Jindong Army system, they are more eager to prove themselves to gain more recognition and higher status.
Gou Moli, the head coach of Fan Chengjun, personally held a whip and whipped three sentry and cavalry lieutenants. He directly removed them from their official positions and kicked them into the trap camp, which was the death camp.
In the early years when the Yan Army formed a system of military towns, there must have been this battalion configuration, and the Shandong Army also inherited this standard configuration.
Subsequently,
Gou Moli ordered many of his generals to be sent out one after another, leading his troops to spread forward, demanding to gain control of the battlefield in this area.
But this time the Chu army showed a completely different reaction from the past. Not only did they not give in in the previous small fights, but after the scale of the battlefield was upgraded, they also adopted tit-for-tat measures. A large number of Chu troops were also divided. For multiple groups, they began to compete and confront the savage army in this area.
In the past three days, there were no fewer than ten encounters involving more than two hundred people from both sides.
If the situation continues to escalate, a large-scale battle will break out. In this way, the Savage Army does not need to attack Guyue City at all, and can complete the strategy of this area with the Chu Army in advance. decisive battle.
......
In the commander's tent, subordinates kept coming to report the military situation that had just happened. Gou Moli sat on the commander's seat with his legs crossed, shaking his legs while listening. , the old god is proud of himself.
The sword master did not go back to recover, but stayed, which was actually Zheng Fan's order.
The fact that the Prince Regent, who has always been afraid of death, is willing to give away the strongest sword around him is enough to show the importance of Gou Moli's place to the entire national war.
Because he has been sitting in the commander's tent with him all the time, even though the sword master often takes a nap, he can still listen to the situation on the battlefield ahead.
In addition, in recent years, he has accompanied Zheng on many expeditions, and his military knowledge has naturally increased.
Even the Sword Master can see the strangeness of the battle ahead.
Since the end of the Three Kingdoms War, it has been a foregone conclusion that Yan will be strong and Chu will be weak. Five years of recuperation has ended, and now Dayan is coming with a huge force to overcome it.
The wisest thing for the Chu people to do is to shrink their defense. In fact, this is what the Chu people did;
South of the Wei River, the main force of the entire Eastern Jin army is located there, and the Chu State The main force of the Royal Forbidden Army was completely on the defensive;
But in the smaller battlefield to the west, the Chu people showed an unusually high-spirited and enterprising attitude, refusing to give up even an inch of ground. I don’t want to lose the limelight.
After listening to another report, Gou Moli opened his eyes, glanced at the Sword Master sitting there, suddenly thought of something, and smiled:
"Brother, do you still remember the time when I was imprisoned in the Snow Customs Dungeon? At that time, you often came to see me, and that was one of the rare times when I could see the sun again."
" The man surnamed Zheng said that if a person suddenly likes to recall the past, it proves that he is about to die. "
"It is also very interesting. Our prince has always given me the feeling that I am not afraid of ghosts and gods, and that the imperial power is all bullshit. But there happens to be Sometimes, the prince always has a lot of strange... taboos.
He is not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, but he is afraid of jumping cockroaches. Maybe, this is life. "
Gou. Li Qiye quickly ended his emotion and continued; "I remember I told you at that time that I had a dream. In that dream, I stood with you, facing thousands of troops, and you still... Remember? ”
The sword master said nothing.
"Do you believe it? In fact, some things are doomed long ago. When I was among the savage prisoners of war, the reason why I dared to identify myself was because I had seen the shadow of the future."
“Have you started to believe in the stars too?”
“No, no; Because I can see that General Shengle at that time was very angry and took a completely different path.
When I told him that I was the Savage King, he did not. When he didn't kill me in the first place, I knew that one day I would return to the handsome seat.
At that time, you were recuperating from your injuries and were so bored that you pulled my cage out to talk to me. Hahaha, I know you hated me to the core and wanted to see me miserable for fun;
But You know,
When I was sitting in the cage, I guessed that one day, you would stand with me, and you would have to use your sword to protect my safety.
I'm not trying to get a hold of you, nor am I trying to provoke you, I'm just making a statement. ”
From the last sentence, it seems that Gou Moli is still afraid of the Sword Master. He is afraid that what he said is too out of the ordinary, and then the Sword Master directly uses his sword energy to give himself a pleasure;
The sword master took action, but the two people lying under his blanket couldn't bear it at all.
Moreover, what Gou Moli knows better is that the Sword Master may have stayed with the "Lord" for a long time, and some tempers will inevitably be affected. Anyone who dares to be arrogant in front of the Lord will be punished by the Lord. First he smiled, and then he slapped him to death at all costs.
"What do you want to say?" the sword master asked.
"The road has actually been visible for a long time, but you have seen it, but you still have to continue walking on it. You know that you will change, and I also know that I will change.
But in the end , whether you know it or not, you have to walk from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
This is true for both of us,
opposite,
actually the same is true.
This is the comfort of this battle. "
"Comfortable? ”
"Yes, it will be very comfortable."
Gou Moli shouted:
"Come here."
Two soldiers entered the commander's tent.
“Send the order, the Chinese army will press thirty miles forward!”
The Chinese army pressed forward for thirty miles, and they were about to directly touch Guyue City. They also forced the Chu State to make a decision, either to retreat back to the city, or to fight decisively!
The entire camp moved because of the commander's order;
Gou Moli and the Sword Master walked out of the commander's tent together and looked up at the sky. The sun was just right.
“I remember that the prince once said that if a butterfly flaps its wings on the Pacific Ocean, a big snowstorm may occur in the snowfield in one or two years.
Although, I have always I don’t know what kind of sea the Taiping Sea is.”
The sword master said: "When he goes to the Qian Kingdom in the future, he can just change the name of the East China Sea. That's how Mount Tai came."
"Hahahaha, so our prince has a rift in his heart, layout. Far-reaching.
However, this is true. I can understand the meaning.
To our south is Guyue City. If we capture it or bypass it, we can kill Ganren's channel for blood transfusion.
It is very important. But it's not particularly important.
Because even if we get in, even if we enter what the Chu people call...Chunan, that is, the old land of Shanyue, my soldiers and horses can only circle around in those big mountains and rivers. No waves can be produced.
So, the real battlefield is still on our prince's side. That is the main battlefield of the national war, the showdown that determines the fate of the two countries.
But,
I, Gou Moli, am just a little butterfly now. I am flapping my wings here, and there is no way that the wind will blow over there. ”
At this time, the guards were already cleaning up the handsome tent and preparing to pack up and move.
Gou Moli saw a guard carrying the small purple box he had brought, and quickly reminded him: "Pay attention, be careful about that one."
"Yes, Marshal."
"What is so precious?"
"Are you curious?" Gou Moli clapped his hands and signaled the guard to bring the small box over. He took the box and opened it. There was a doll inside.
Gou Moli picked it up and found that there was another doll that was exactly the same but smaller. He picked it up again and found another smaller one. He took out several dolls in a row. In short, there was still a smaller one. below.
"Her Highness the Princess's favorite toy." Gou Moli put the porcelain doll back according to its size, "It's quite interesting."
......
When the Savage Army made a After the army pressed forward, the Chu army finally stopped resisting and began to retreat. As soon as they retreated, the barbarian army quickly filled in and took control of the battlefield.
The next day,
the army re-camped. During this period, the Chu army tried to make a surprise attack, but they were all blocked.
After another two days, the situation finally became clear.
The barbarian army entered a "preparing to attack the city" posture, and the Chu people finally shrank their forces into the city. The offensive and defensive sides finally took their positions, and the strong wind smoothed out all the noise.
However, in addition to the defense of the ancient Yue City wall, the Chu people built many military fortresses as supplements to form a complete defense system. Everything seems to be the same as what Nian Yao did north of Zhennanguan. .
So, in the following days, the Savage Army began to focus on attacking the military stronghold outside Guyue City.
The war did not go very smoothly, but it was not very difficult either. Both sides suffered casualties that were acceptable to both sides. Both the attacker and the defender were able to accept the speed of their attacks and losses. .
In short, the atmosphere of this battlefield is a bit too... natural.
It is deserved, and people ignore the names of the coaches of both sides.
One was once a barbarian king who was famous in the land of the Three Jin Dynasties;
One was the only remaining Chu Zhu Kingdom in the world;
Just like the two The masters of chess, when they started playing, the wonderful showdown that the people around them were expecting, none of the divine moves appeared. Instead, it was like two beginners, who started playing dull chess in a orderly manner according to the description on the chess record.
This time,
it’s half a month again.
The savage army has cleared less than half of the military stronghold outside Guyue City.
At the same time, some siege equipment began to be built, and preparations were made to attack the city after the outer perimeter was cleared;
The Chu army at Guyue City seemed to have begun high-frequency mobilization;
Obviously, the Chu army did not believe that the barbarian army would really plan to attack the city next. What they were worried about was that the barbarian army would make a false shot and suddenly bypass Guyue City and rush southward.
......
Xie Zhuyang was sitting on the wall drinking tea at this time, with two women, one large and one small, standing beside him.
"Are you two going to stay here forever?" Xie Zhuyang asked with a smile.
The girl asked: "Then shall I leave?"
"Aren't you two always wanting to find my son? You can definitely go find him. With you two here, I, as a father, can rest assured."
"If we go there, What if he asked us to come back to protect his old father?”
Xie Zhuyang smiled kindly and said;
“Don’t worry, my son is not that filial. .”
"We want to stay and see again," the girl said.
"Okay." Xie Zhuyang didn't care.
“You guys should be in the same sect, right?”
“Absolutely.”
“There should be quite a few masters in the sect, right?”
"Absolutely."
Xie Zhuyang nodded and said: "Unfortunately, the general trend of the world cannot be determined by a small group of so-called masters."
The girl did not refute, and that was the case. Nodding:
“Absolutely.”
The woman reached out and checked the girl’s mouth.
The girl dodged and said: "My mouth is not stiff."
At this moment, Xie Zhuyang poured down the cup of tea in his hand,
said slowly:
< br>“That’s it.”
……
In the Savage Army Commander's tent, Gou Moli had just arranged a row of porcelain dolls of decreasing sizes.
“I think if he knew that you collected his daughter’s toys, your end would be very miserable.”
The Sword Master remembered that Gou Moli was holding the embroidered shoe. Sick.
“Hey.” Gou Moli smiled, “This is given to me by the prince, not kept privately.”
At this moment,
A series of emergency military reports came, like a pot of water boiling in an instant!
“Report!!!!!!”
“Commander, report from the rear, our army’s grain and grass have been intercepted from the rear!”
“Report!!!! ! ”
“Commander, there are traces of Chu troops due east”
"Commander, there are traces of the Chu army in the due west direction!"
"Report!!!..."
One after another, urgent military information almost covered your face, coming at you,
< br>Gou Moli seemed not to hear it at all and had no emotional reaction at all.
However,
If there is a military situation, he will put a porcelain doll back.
When night falls,
all the dolls are set up, but the military situation outside is still like a fire.
Gou Moli placed a set of porcelain dolls on his head and tried his best to maintain balance;
Then,
He clapped his hands together,
"Pah!"
Smiled:
"It's fun." (End of this chapter)
