Chapter 465: Dangerous Moves
At the head of Cangcheng County, Bai Qi looked at the black army in the distance, and his expression changed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The enemy marched very slowly, stopping to straighten out the queue every time they marched a distance. The enemy army was composed of dozens of troops, and the march as a whole was inevitably inconsistent and the military orders were not smooth.
If you stop and rectify from time to time, I am afraid that before you reach the foot of the city wall, the whole army will be scattered.
Bai Qi's observation is so meticulous.
He silently counted in his mind, and the interval between the enemy's troops stopping and regrouping was getting longer and longer. The whole army has become more and more orderly, and each other has adapted to each other's marching rhythm.
The other party is a cautious person.
Bai Qi gave a definition to the main general of the enemy army.
The 220,000 allied troops, except for the 40,000 troops sitting in Yun'an County, the remaining 180,000 troops, divided into three routes, advanced towards the three cities in black pressure.
On the official road, flags are everywhere, swords and guns are lined up, and bursts of dust are rolled up.
The army is like three sharp knives, stabbing at the army of Shanhai City at the same time.
The 60,000-strong army is not too big a problem for Yanggu County, which has two divisions and regiments. Even in Genglou County, under Han Xin's scheduling, no flaws can be exposed.
The key is the base camp Cangcheng County.
The defenders of Cangcheng are only 10,000, and they are still the Tianshuang County Guard Division that has failed to pass the combat power. In the face of the siege of the six-fold army, Bai Qi had no bottom in his heart.
If the attack continues, the city guard division will definitely show flaws.
What to do?
Bai Qi knew that he had to take action, otherwise, the next attack on the city might be 80,000, or even 100,000 troops.
Activate the second division of the Longxiang Regiment ambushed outside the city of Genglou County?
That's just the worst-case scenario.
Once the Luo Shixin division is mobilized, the reality of the army of Shanhai City will be fully seen by the enemy. Not only that, but Bai Qi's previous arrangements will also be in vain.
Bai Qi didn't turn his head and asked, "Who is the master on the other side?" ”
"Di Qing, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty."
The answer was given by the General Intelligence Officer stationed in the Military Intelligence Division.
Whenever there is a major war, the Military Intelligence Department will send intelligence officers to each department to oversee the intelligence matters in the army. Even the reconnaissance squadrons of various ministries are under the unified dispatch of intelligence officers in wartime.
In this way, through the Military Intelligence Division, the army can form an efficient, unified, and coordinated intelligence network to maximize the efficiency of various resources and obtain intelligence on the front line.
"Di Qing?"
Bai frowned, he only knew a little about history.
"Immediately send a letter to the Military Affairs Department and ask them to pass on the most detailed information about Di Qing."
"No!"
……
As the sun set, with the last touch of sunset, the Allies left behind thousands of corpses and retreated like a tide, without the slightest intention of retaining.
Against the backdrop of the sunset, the soldiers' faces were tired, happy, and even fanatical.
This is war!
Compared with the high morale of the allies, the soldiers at the head of the city were only left with endless exhaustion. Some of the soldiers leaned directly on the top of the city and fell asleep. Only in his hand, he was still holding the spear.
On the first day alone, the City Guard Division was in danger, and if it weren't for Bai Qi's strong command, I am afraid that the enemy army would have seen through the weakness of Cangcheng County long ago.
Despite this, there was no trace of joy on Bai Qi's face. It has reached its limit, and tomorrow at most, the weakness of Cangcheng County will be completely exposed to the enemy.
Bai Qi had to prepare for the worst and ordered Luo Shixin's division to be ready to rush to the aid of Cangcheng County at any time.
Actually, Roshison is not comfortable today.
Enemy scouts, like mad dogs, roam the wilderness.
As a last resort, Luo Shixin could only send the same scouts. In the field, scouts fight each other to block enemy scouts.
Although, the scouts sent were deliberately misleading.
But if this continues, the hidden place of the division will be exposed. After all, they are a whole cavalry division, and it is too difficult to hide.
Night.
Cangcheng County, which has been lively for a day, has restored a rare tranquility. On the streets, out of the patrol soldiers, there is no longer a person wandering.
The soldiers who have fought for a day are already asleep, recuperating, and preparing for tomorrow's big battle.
The general's white room was still brightly lit.
In the room, Bai sat up straight, carefully flipping through the Di Qing file that the Military Affairs Bureau had just sent.
The entire file, only four sheets of paper, chatting about thousands of words. There is not only a brief introduction to Di Qing's life, but also a handwritten comment on Di Qing by Zhao Kuo, the director of the Operations Department.
Although the Operations Division is thousands of miles away, it can know about the Battle of Zhaoqing at any time.
"Are you cautious with your troops? And so it was. ”
Shiroki muttered to himself.
"In that case, let's do it!"
Bai Qi put down the file and decided to give it a go.
As far as Bai Qi is concerned, he rarely makes dangerous moves, but the development of the situation is beyond him.
"The only variable now is the Praetorian Guard Division led by the Marquis."
Bai Qi raised his head and looked out the window, a bright moon hung high in the sky. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and tomorrow will be another good weather.
**********
Wulong County, Lord's Mansion.
Receiving the latest battle report from Bai Qi, Ouyang Shuo knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Once the frontal battlefield is lost, the consequences are unimaginable.
When that happens, how will the spicy boy feel?
Ouyang Shuo couldn't pin the fate of his territory on a temporary ally.
The human heart is the most complicated.
Once Shanhai City loses, if the spicy boy turns around and sells Shanhai City again, it will be a lot of fun.
Ouyang Shuo once read a book and liked one of the famous sayings: If you want not to be betrayed, don't give the other party a chance to betray you.
In his previous life, Ouyang Shuo didn't understand, so he would be betrayed.
In this life, he understood.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Please come here, Lord Du."
"No!"
The guards turned and left.
Leaning slightly, Du Sijing hurried over, his eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't know what it meant to be called.
"Sit!"
Ouyang Shuo's face did not show any abnormality.
Hearing this, Du Sijing sat down respectfully, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart.
"Ben Hou has a matter and wants to ask my lord."
"Master Hou just commands!"
The more polite Ouyang Shuo was, the more uneasy Du Sijing became, and just sat down, he immediately stood up again.
"Adults don't have to be like that."
Ouyang Shuo raised his hand and motioned for Du Sijing to be calm.
When Du Sijing heard this, a trace of surprise flashed on his face. His performance tonight was really unbearable.
"Ben Hou heard that the twelve territories in the north, if they are attacked, they can notify 50,000 iron horsemen at any time, isn't that so?"
"Not bad!"
"Is there a criterion for judging the so-called attack, or is it that whenever the alarm is raised, reinforcements will come? In addition, is the army that rushed to reinforce 50,000, or only a part of it? ”
"Please also let the Hou Ye know." Du Sijing calmed down and said, "Since the establishment of the wartime alliance, no territory has issued an alarm. However, before the war, the commander of the 50,000 iron cavalry was already a herald to the territories, but whenever there was an attack, the number of enemy troops must be clarified, and then unified dispatch must be made. ”
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he nodded, and said, "In that case, please ask Lord Du to send a message tomorrow, just say that the army of Wulong County is attacking, and please come for reinforcements quickly." ”
"This?" Du Sijing was puzzled, "In this way, isn't Master Hou exposed?" ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled but did not speak.
Suddenly, a light flashed in Du Sijing's mind, and his face instantly turned pale. He already understood the other party's intentions, the other party wanted to lure 50,000 iron horsemen to the bait, and then annihilate them.
This plan cannot be described as non-toxic.
The problem is that this plan is not within the scope of the previous discussions.
I also know that once Wulong County lied about the military situation, it would attract 50,000 iron horsemen. And no matter what the fate of the 50,000 iron horsemen is, the identity of the lord who is still in the alliance will be exposed, and he will suffer first.
When that time comes, death will be just a luxury for the spicy boy. The angry Allies shuddered at the thought of what to do with a traitor.
Thinking about it this way, how can Du Sijing not be afraid.
Seeing Du Sijing's expression, Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart, knowing that the other party had seen through his intentions. He also knew that this move was unfair to the spicy strip boy.
It's a pity that Ouyang Shuo can't wait.
I don't know when Ouyang Shuo's heart became harder and harder.
It's just that Du Sijing must be used to publish information about the attack. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo must appease this person first, otherwise, everything will be over.
For Ouyang Shuo, this is also a risky move.
[Nanmeng] is also powerful, let Ouyang Shuo and Bai Qi make dangerous moves at the same time.
"After this incident, Ben Hou will give an explanation to your father-in-law."
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Du Sijing, and did not make a specific promise, he thought, Du Sijing must understand. At this moment, any promise is not as good as Ouyang Shuo's explanation.
Although Ouyang Shuo is cold-hearted, it doesn't mean that he will not believe in his words. On the contrary, what he says will be a promise and will not change.
Otherwise, it will be a fatal blow to his prestige.
When Du Sijing heard this, his expression changed.
Ouyang Shuo was relaxed, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
From Du Sijing's persuasion of the spicy boy to form an alliance with Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo knew that Du Sijing knew how to judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons.
Dealing with such a person is a sharp word.
As long as he sees that temporary losses can be exchanged for greater benefits in the future, he will fully agree. Unexpectedly, after Du Sijing struggled, he put forward a condition: "Master Hou must promise that after the war, he must rescue my lord from the allied army." ”
Du Sijing's expression was unusually firm.
If Ouyang Shuo didn't agree, he wouldn't compromise, even if his own net worth and life were already in the hands of the other party at this time, he wouldn't be afraid.
It seems that Du Sijing has put life and death aside.
The spicy boy has cultivated a good courtier.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Du Sijing, but he was happy in his heart, this move only proved that his vision was correct. If Du Sijing agreed without hesitation, he would be a little disappointed.
"Ben Hou promised you." (To be continued.) )
