Chapter 58: Guan Qiu and the Vanguard Army
One day!
In just one day, under the condition of rapid marching, the 20,000 vanguard troops of the Burning Sky Fort had already arrived at the first city at the junction of the Silver Dragon and the Burning Sky - Dianjing City.
The so-called finishing touch, as one of the gateways of the silver dragon facing the Burning Sky Castle, the city is superior and easy to defend and difficult to attack, with 50,000 troops stationed in it, and 30,000 troops from 200 miles away can be mobilized and supported at any time, sitting on the throat of the east of the silver dragon, which can be described as the most important.
Garrisoned here is Xiahou Dang, one of the eight generals of the Silver Dragon who is as famous as the Seven Burning Sky Venerables, and a number of his subordinate generals.
Xiahou Dang, thirty-seven years old, good at hand, strong internal strength, outstanding art of war, so far no children, no daughters, no family, resolute and calm personality, decisive killing. Among his subordinates, there are three outstanding people, Bai Jing, Qian Sanliang, and Chen Biao, who are good at layout, swordsmanship, and stick skills, and are Xiahou Dang's right-hand man.
This is the message that Burning Sky Castle handed over to Xiao Sha and his party about the main generals in the city, and it is also the target of their attack this time.
Standing on the chariot of the vanguard commander, Xiao Sha put away the piece of paper in his hand that he had read and looked at and written with information about Xiahou Dang and his subordinates, crumpled the paper and threw it away after confirming that it was correct, glanced sideways at Chu Wenxin, Jiang Baifengling and others on other chariots, and then looked at the city wall and battlefield in the distance.
From afar, he could vaguely see the black dots on the city wall in the distance running back and forth in the pervasive fire, and sometimes he could see people wearing special armor clothes directing battles on the city wall, and occasionally soldiers who climbed up the ladder were easily beaten down by the commander, but there were countless people who forgot to die to climb up.
Now the vanguard force of the Burning Sky Castle is only 20,000 people, and it is really unwise to have such a force against the Silver Dragon Army, which has an army of 50,000 and 30,000 ready to support two hundred miles away, but this is Guan Qiu's decision, and the 20,000 vanguard army is also led by Guan Qiu, one of the Seven Venerables of the Burning Sky.
As soon as he mentioned his surname Guan and related to leading troops to fight, he used to be an earthling, and the name Guan Yu always popped up in his mind, so he was naturally a little more curious about Guan Qiu who marched with him this time.
In fact, Guan Qiu and Guan Yu, who are among the Seven Venerables of the Burning Heaven, are really a bit similar, using the same Qinglong Glaive Knife, the same long beard and chest, and even the same taciturn, except for Guan Erye's characteristic green hat and red face, the others are very consistent.
The difference is that the force of the enlightened world is much worse than that of the land of Shenzhou, but it is many times higher than that of the earth. On this day, he marched with Guan Qiu, and occasionally walked beside him, always with a sense of danger with palpitations. And Jiang Bai and Dong Fatzi were also afraid of the taciturn feud, and even privately told him not to mess with this person, and his danger was second only to Murong Yang.
He deeply agreed with this, as one of the Seven Venerables of the Burning Sky and a powerful general under Murong Yang, Guan Qiu's martial arts are definitely not low, and Ci is not in charge of the army, just from this point of view, Guan Qiu is a very powerful person.
Such a powerful person naturally would not commit the taboo of zealous soldiers, but Guan Qiu, who had just arrived here early this morning, ordered 10,000 soldiers to rest first, and the other 10,000 soldiers immediately attacked the city with rudimentary siege equipment.
At first, he didn't understand Guan Qiu's thoughts, but after knowing that the follow-up troops were less than fifty miles away from here, he understood it, and his evaluation of Guan Qiu's art of war was a few points higher.
These 20,000 vanguards are just consumables to disturb the enemy!
This time, Murong Yang, Feng Ling, and himself and others joined forces, and the purpose was to subvert the Silver Dragon City, and Dianjing City, as the key barrier to the east of the Silver Dragon, would naturally have to be broken through as quickly as possible, so that the other party would not have time to defend and hold on.
The soldiers who hurried all night in a row were very tired, but if they were stationed outside the city to rest and consume time, it would be much more difficult to wait for the other side to transfer the large army two hundred miles away to attack the city, and if the other party saw that the city was false and sent troops out of the city to attack while they were resting, the 20,000 tired vanguard army was estimated to be defeated before the follow-up troops came.
Defeat in the first confrontation is undoubtedly a considerable blow to morale, so as soon as Guan Qiu came, he let 10,000 soldiers attack the city and harass the enemy, one is to make the other party unable to distinguish between the virtual and the real in a short period of time, and it is not good to go out of the city to fight to ensure the safety of this side, and the other is also to consume the physical strength and spirit of the opponent's soldiers.
Looking at Guan Qiu's attack on the city with 10,000 soldiers, and the 10,000 soldiers eating and resting, he could guess that Guan Qiu's next move was to wait for the soldiers in front to suffer heavy losses, so that the 10,000 soldiers who had rested would immediately go into battle and continuously harass the enemy.
And in an hour or so, the army of the Burning Heaven Fort in the rear will come, at that time, the soldiers of Dianjing City are just sleepy and lacking horses, plus they and others have a strong shot, if nothing else, this Dianjing City will become a part of the Burning Heaven and Earth Realm this afternoon or evening.
At that time, even if Xiahou Dang was still alive and transferred 30,000 silver dragon troops two hundred miles away, it would only be a gift to the head.
And in the face of so many masters and 400,000 troops here, as well as a steady stream of supplies, the Silver Dragon Army that has lost its barrier will be defeated again and again, and the Burning Sky Army can drive straight in, and at the worst, it can gather troops to firmly grasp the key point of the city, and it can be attacked and retreated, defended, and invincible.
Awesome!
Even now, Xiao Sha, who has seen the idea of Guan Qiu thoroughly, has to praise it, if this guy was born in the Three Kingdoms period of the earth, even if he does not have this powerful martial arts, he is afraid that he will be a powerful general.
It was now noon, and the logistics troops were already cooking on a fire in the rear, and the smell of food in the billowing smoke mixed with the smell of blood blown by the wind in the front of the city made the entire battlefield carry a strange fishy smell.
He had already begun to get used to this kind of occasion, but he didn't have a special feeling, when the logistics soldiers politely brought the meal, he took it, walked to Chu Wenxin's chariot and talked about the next thing with him while eating.
In this battle, the original plan was for Feng Ling to fight Xiahou Dang, Jiang Bai, and Dong Tianle to deal with Xiahou Dang's three subordinates, and he and Chu Wenxin, who were not very good at martial arts, specialized in killing other young generals of the enemy, and then obtained martial arts cheats Feng Ling took three points, Jiang Bai Dong Tianle took two points, and he and Chu Wenxin each took one and a half points.
According to the martial arts highland, this distribution is reasonable, but Xiao Sha has the intention to do more things to earn cheats to exchange yuan points, and Chu Wenxin also has this idea, but he didn't think of a better way until the meal was finished.
There's really no way, who let the two of them be born with congenital deficiencies? It can only be taken one step at a time.
……
The siege of the city is a matter of life and death, and the siege scale of 10,000 people will naturally not last too long.
Soon, the soldiers besieging the city in front had already suffered heavy losses, and the corpses under the city had been piled up with two or three thousand, and the blood had also stained many parts of the originally gray city wall blue and black.
On the main general's chariot, when Guan Qiu, who had a long beard and reached to his chest, waved his hand and ordered the troops to be withdrawn, Xiao Sha, who returned to his chariot, heard the victorious cheers of the silver dragon soldiers on the city wall in the distance.
But before they could be happy, the remaining 10,000 soldiers, who had already eaten and rested for a while, rushed to the city wall with the rest of the siege equipment.
At this time, the 70,000 troops in the follow-up army of the Burning Sky Castle were already less than ten miles away, and he touched the swords tied to the left and right sides of his waist, and understood that it was time for his group to make a move.
On the other side, Chu Wenxin also cast a somewhat chilled gaze, and Jiang Bai, Feng Ling, and Dong Fatzi on other chariots not far away, their originally idle appearances also converged, and they were all ready to fight.
