Chapter 299: Counterattack
In Qingtongxia, Mo Luo sat under a tree with his eyes closed, holding the Cloud Piercing Bow in his hand, gently stroking the bow body, feeling the familiar cold feeling on the bow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Not far from him, Wu Xin was constantly discussing the battle plan with a group of generals, trying to make up for any loopholes that might arise, because this time, they could no longer afford to lose, and if they lost again, the Shuntian army would inevitably be wiped out.
This gave Moro a great sense of loss. He is an extremely conceited person, such is the cultivation of martial arts, and he is also pretentious in leading the army to fight. Advance to Shayang, and then regain the lost territory occupied by the Qi State, thus casting himself as a national hero in the Yue Kingdom, in order to attract more support from the people, and then push himself to higher achievements.
This strategic direction is different from the strategic concept of Wu Xin, the number one general under his command, and in the end, Wu Xin succumbed to his will and gave up the idea of marching to Zhengyang.
Then to this day, the situation is contrary to the original plan, and the defeat of Shayang County has made the Shuntian army have to return to the strategic situation originally envisioned by Wu Xin.
After receiving Wu Xin's latest plan, Mo Luo didn't hesitate too much, he knew that this was already the only chance for the Shuntian Army, he immediately set off to Fenshui Pass, the chance of winning this battle was very high, he couldn't let Wu Xin get the credit for saving the Shuntian Army between water and fire, this battle must be under his own command.
He only returned with a few hundred cronies to participate in this battle to save his reputation. And most of the soldiers who participated in this battle were Wu Xin's subordinates, and Mo Luo felt that the officers under Wu Xin's command looked at him strangely, not like before, the absolute adoration that appeared in their eyes when they looked at him.
This made him a little annoyed and disappointed, and at the same time, he was glad that he was back.
The key is those soldiers at the bottom. As long as they think they are omnipotent, that's fine.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in front of him, and Mo Luo didn't fight his eyes, and he also knew that it was Wu Xin who was walking towards him.
"King, everything has been arranged, now, just wait for the fish to take the bait." Wu Xin said softly.
Mo Luo opened his eyes and looked at Wu Xin: "Why is your plan to ambush at the end of the Bronze Gorge, instead of in the middle section where the terrain is more favorable, if we ambush in the middle section, our losses will be smaller, and we can exchange for a greater victory at a smaller price." ”
"King, we are facing the Tiger Army." Wu Xin was silent for a moment and explained: "Zhang Jian may not be a wise leader, but the Tiger Ben Army is the most elite army in the Yue Kingdom, and the officers in it are all extremely experienced in combat, Qingtong Gorge is steep, these people will never relax their exploration, if in the middle section, we are very likely to be discovered, once discovered, it will be wasted, only at the end, at the end of this extremely dangerous march, they will relax their vigilance, this is our opportunity." ”
Mo Luo's face twitched a few times, and Wu Xin's words sounded like he was mocking himself.
Wu Xin didn't realize this, "King, judging from the latest intelligence, Zhang Jian is indeed going to take this road, as long as he enters the Qingtongxia, we will win sixty percent, please ask the king to command the army here, and the last general will take a few elites to the middle section to intercept their final rout." ”
Mo Luo stood up and said coldly: "The plan for this battle was made by you, and the soldiers here are also your subordinates, this battle is still commanded by you, and I will go to the middle section of Qingtongxia to intercept their rout." ”
"King!" Wu Xin looked at Mo Luo in amazement.
Mo Luo looked at Wu Xin, took a deep breath, softened his tone, made himself look more natural, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face: "You are more familiar with the plan, most of the soldiers here are your subordinates, and you are more handy in command, we can't afford to lose, this battle must be won, so you will command." ”
Looking at Mo Luo, Wu Xin nodded with some emotion, the king is still the wise king. To tell the truth, although the ambush has been prepared in advance, but in the face of the most elite tiger army in the Yue country, Wu Xin does not have the feeling of holding the handle, sometimes the trap is good, but if the prey ability in the trap is beyond your pre-deception, it will still break out of the trap, so that the person who set the trap will suffer from it.
"King, if we win, when you intercept Zhang Jian in the middle of the canyon, don't kill him, it's best to capture him alive, so that we can negotiate with Zhang Ning and even threaten him." Wu Xin said: "If my expectations are correct, there must be ninth-level masters on Zhang Jian's side, and only the king can deal with them." ”
"If Zhang Jian escapes from you, I promise to catch him in front of you." Mo Luo raised the bow in his hand, and Wu Xin's words made him feel a little better.
"King, has everything been arranged in Lu County? Once we defeat our opponent here, we need to take advantage of the situation to advance into Zhengyang County, and at that time, we need more troops. ”
"When I left, it had already been arranged, after Bao Hua broke off, guarding Mengshan, that what Lu Yifan, he would take the rest of the troops and return to the Fenshui Pass as quickly as possible, and then reinforce behind us." Morlo Dao.
Wu Xin let out a long breath, "This is very good, Shayang County should not have the strength to pursue us, the disguised Qi army did not come, indicating that the Qi people are not ready to intervene in this war on a large scale, or they are taking over Shayang County in a ********, and they have no time to pay attention to us, which is a good thing for us." As long as we hold Mengshan, we will be in Changyang County, and we will have peace of mind for the time being. ”
Listening to Wu Xin's words, Mo Luo sneered, turned around and left, Wu Xin suddenly came to his senses, he spoke like this, but he didn't care too much about the king's mood, looking at Mo Luo's back striding away, Wu Xin patted his head in distress, and for a while, he was a little overwhelmed.
This guy with extraordinary attainments in strategy and tactics is indeed a little unsatisfactory in terms of dealing with people, which is why he couldn't get along in the officialdom in the first place and almost died with a whimper.
The Qingtong Gorge, which is dozens of miles long, has opened its mouth like a fierce beast, waiting for the greedy opponent to crash in, and at this time, at the other end of Changyang County, Baoqing County near the sea, it is another scene.
More than a dozen large ships were parked above the sea, and many more small ships were like ants, constantly moving supplies from the big ships, and on the shore, a large camp had been formed.
Baoqing Port used to be a large-scale foreign port during the Tang Dynasty, but after a thousand years, it has become a barren place. The abandoned port, submerged in countless barren grasses and silt, gradually became a place that only a few people knew.
Now, however, this place has changed dramatically.
A month ago, the advance fleet of the Chu people arrived here and began to clean up this barren port, which lasted for a month, although the large ships were still unable to dock, but it had already made this former foreign port slowly begin to show its original appearance little by little.
The outline of the harbor was slowly revealed, and it was only a matter of time before he was repaired.
The former desolate place, now there are thousands of more people, who are working day and night, and the follow-up fleet is heading towards here at sea, when the second batch of personnel arrives here, Baoqing Port can be said to be completely under the control of the Chu people.
The first group of arrivals were almost all technicians, and the second group arrived with well-trained troops.
Ma Xiangnan stood on a high stone platform, staring at the progress of the port, this stone platform, there used to be a tall building on it, used to direct ships entering and leaving the port, now, the building on the stone platform is long gone, but this high platform is still as stable as before.
I have been here for more than a month, from only a small team of guards to protect thousands of people now, Ma Xiangnan's mood is also getting happier day by day, because he has obtained Baoqing for the Chu State, he is now also an official and a knight, and more importantly, he has been evaluated by the Emperor of Chu as a capable official, and he finally walked out of the shadow of the eldest brother and entered the emperor's field of vision.
Although his body was bitten by countless insects and ants here, it was extremely itchy, and the person had also lost a lot of weight, compared to when he first entered Changyang County, he felt that he was almost becoming a wild man now, but the fire in his heart overshadowed all this.
Everything went well, but the only fly in the ointment was that Mo Luo lost the battle in Shayang County. The plan to sweep Shayang and then attack the Qi people to share the worries of the Chu State on the battlefield suffered a major setback.
"Is the situation clear? Is it really Qi people who intervene? Ma Xiangnan was a little worried: "Did the Qi people notice something?" ”
"My lord, the information fed back from the spies of the Qi State shows that the Qi people did not send troops to Shayang County, but this does not mean anything, or this is an extremely secretive action of the Qi people, because otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the combat effectiveness of this army that suddenly appeared is so strong. As for our plan of action, the Qi people should not be aware of it now. Our second group of troops is expected to arrive here in ten days, and by then, we will have an elite force of 2,000 men to protect Baoqing, and then everything will be no problem. ”
"Morrow, that's a real disappointment." Ma Xiangnan shook his head, annoyed for a moment, and suddenly laughed again: "But that Wu Xin, is really a talent, this person makes a Jedi counterattack plan this time, as long as it is successful, then next, the Shuntian Army will have a buffer room, and then with our help, it will not be difficult for the Shuntian Army to counterattack Shayang County."
