Chapter 1013: Serial Scheme
After arguing with the Annan players, it was finally decided to send another 200,000 troops south. [with _ dream]ā .
Intelligence from Haiphong City shows that the Great Xia Army did not gather a large army in other coastal cities except for the landing in the two cities of Da Nang City and Lu Binh City.
Not to mention the three field corps that landed in Luping City, Daxia only operated on the northern border for the time being, as if the purpose was to clear a strategic buffer zone and establish a stronghold for the follow-up troops.
Other than that, there are no anomalies.
If it weren't for the fact that 500,000 troops of the Southern Expedition were trapped, players in Hanoi would have prepared to organize a Northern Expedition army to sweep away this Great Xia army and defend the territory without losing.
According to the information sent back by the secret agents of Haiphong City, all the members of the field army stationed in Da Nang City were stationed in the city and showed no signs of going out.
If there were, it was only a small force.
As for the Great Xia Praetorian Cavalry, which had already gone south, according to the information reported by the southern cities, within a day, two or three cities were attacked by a large army at the same time.
Obviously, this cavalry has penetrated deep into the southern hinterland, and it is impossible to appear in Haiyun Mountain.
With this analysis, the minds of Annan players have finally settled, and the probability of the reinforcements sent being ambushed is almost zero, unless the Great Xia Army will do some evil tricks.
That's obviously impossible.
The 200,000 army went south, and once the trapped Southern Expeditionary Army was rescued, it could also take advantage of the situation to go south, recover Da Nang City in one fell swoop, and then drive the Great Xia Janissary cavalry out of the southern border.
The two strategic goals set before are now possible to be realized.
After thinking clearly, Annan players did not hesitate, saving people is like fighting fire, and on the same day, 200,000 warriors were selected to form the second southern expeditionary army, and quickly rushed to Haiyun Mountain.
The battle of Annam seems to be shrouded in another layer of fog.
The huge number of players determines that even if Annan is frustrated in this national war, he is still at ease, can calmly dispatch, and then reverses the unfavorable situation.
It's still the same sentence: "In the face of absolute numbers, all intrigues and tricks are floating clouds." ”
Annan, it's far from falling!
When the army left the city, millions of players spontaneously rushed to see them off, and although there was no real death in the game, the cost of the destruction of the country was still huge, so the scene was very moving.
I just don't know if they can get what they want.
A few days ago, the combined forces of the Yanhuang Alliance had already driven to the border of Western Chu, and a major war between the two sides was about to break out.
Overlord Xiang Yu is still as domineering as ever, declaring: "This time, we want to let the army of the Yanhuang League have no return, and bring humiliation on ourselves!" ”
Di Chen and the others just silently mobilized the army, they were like a group of vicious wolves, flanking the Western Chu from the north and south, and then counting the threat from the sea in the east, and the sworn enemy of the Han Empire in the west.
Xichu once again fell into a situation of "embattled".
At the same time, in order to prevent Bactria from intervening in this war, the three fleets of Handan, Red Blood City and Zhoushan cooperated with each other to completely blockade the Yellow Sea and cut off the Bactrian sea rescue route.
Although the Great Xia Coastal Fleet is also in the Yellow Sea, it is difficult to support it alone, and it cannot break through the blockade of the three fleets of the Yanhuang League, so it can only "watch from the wall".
This time, Great Xia really seemed to be helpless, let alone sending troops to reinforce Western Chu, and he couldn't even see Xiang Yu's face, because the two major forces were not official allies, and they had not opened the teleportation array to each other.
…………
Shanhai City, Summer Palace.
Almost at the same time that Annan sent the second expeditionary force, the secret envoy sent by the Honglu Temple in Great Xia had quietly returned to Shanhai City and brought back two national letters.
Ouyang Shuo carefully admired the national letter, especially the one from the Tang Dynasty, he was in a very happy mood, and said to Zhang Liang with a smile: "How can Mr. assume that Tang Taizong will definitely agree to our request?" ”
Zhang Liang replied: "The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, and there is no shortage of Li Jing, what they lack is a territory for these generals to show. This deal Datang did not lose money, and with Tang Taizong's ambition, it was normal to agree. ”
"That's right. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty possessed the Central Plains Province, I am afraid that it will be a great stimulus to those two, there is no vast enough territory, what is the use of having a cadre of civil and military generals. ”
Regarding the thoughts of those two male lords, Ouyang Shuo, as the king of Xia, can understand a thing or two.
Cooperation, but to get a glimpse of the other party's biggest needs, appropriate guidance, while meeting the needs of the other party, will naturally be able to achieve their own goals, even if this requires the other party to be a little difficult to accept.
Ouyang Shuo put down the credentials and said with a smile: "Since the matter of cooperation has been decided, it is time for us to fulfill our promise." As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo unconsciously set his eyes on the southwest land.
There, I don't know what kind of drama will be staged.
April 12, 5th year of Gaia, Annam, Haiyun Mountain.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Annan's second southern expeditionary army arrived at Haiyun Mountain. Along the way, the army did not encounter a single Great Xia soldier, and everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that their judgment before setting off was right.
When they came to the foot of the mountain, they saw the mountain road blocked by 300 meters high gravel, and everyone gasped, "This, this is really ......"
They couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.
"Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and work, it is estimated that there are already people inside who are hungry and faint!"
Four days have passed, and the players trapped in the mountain path are not only hungry and faint, but have already been in chaos. In order to snatch a piece of dry food, former friends did not hesitate to fight each other.
Human nature has been distorted.
Everyone didn't even dare to sleep alone at night, for fear that someone would be slaughtered in their sleep because of a piece of dry food.
No, the guilds can only hold each other.
Between life and death, only the fittest survive.
Fights and killings are staged in the mountain road all the time, for the sake of just two bags of steamed buns, which is really ironic, everything is a floating cloud in the face of death.
Only by living can we talk about human nature.
…………
Since we arrived safely, there's nothing to say, let's do it!
Although everyone brought all kinds of tools, there were no excavators and other mechanical equipment in the game, and it was not easy to clean up the pile of rubble.
For a time, the foot of the mountain turned into a lively construction site.
200,000 players work together, some to break up large stones, and some to form a flowing artificial "conveyor belt" to transport the broken stones out.
Because it was blasted by explosives, the pile of rubble is not stable, and if you are not careful, you may move the lower stones, which may cause the collapse of the upper stones and cause an accident.
The whole process was really difficult.
No matter how hard and tired they are, in the face of the survival of their family and country, they have no complaints, and they can only turn this pain into hatred for Great Xia, in order to avenge their hatred on the battlefield.
Human nature is so complex, sometimes selfish and shameful, and sometimes so selfless.
Towards the end of the evening, less than a fifth of the clean-up was done. At this rate, I'm afraid that the players in the mountain path will already be starved to death before the cleanup is completed.
The rescue team was also helpless.
There are 200,000 empty people, but the real manpower that can be carried out on the work surface is extremely limited, and the progress that can be made with sometimes the most primitive manual work is already the result of everyone's unity.
Gritting their teeth, everyone decided to fight all night.
The team responsible for carrying the gravel during the day was withdrawn, repaired on the perimeter, and had dinner by the way; They were replaced by a group of new troops, under the light of torches, to start a new operation.
This spirit is really worthy of recognition.
War is cruel, and you won't win just because you're good enough, because the enemy may be better than you. When the last rays of the setting sun fall into the sky, disaster strikes again!
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling outside the camp was deafening.
"What's going on?"
"A cavalry is coming." Someone put his ear to the ground and listened, "Listen to the voice, there are no less than 50,000 cavalry, or even more, on all three sides." ”
"Cavalry? Is it the army of Haiphong City, I haven't heard that they are coming. ”
Players are puzzled.
The confusion didn't last long, it was only a matter of ten minutes.
When the cavalry troops flying the banner of the Great Xia Army rushed towards this unsuspecting southern expeditionary force like a god of death, everyone was stunned and did not come back to their senses for a while.
"How is that possible! How could the Great Xia cavalry appear here?! Seeing the Great Xia Iron Cavalry coming like a storm and waves, Annan players still couldn't believe their eyes.
"Could it be that the information on Haiphong City is wrong?"
There seems to be only one plausible explanation for this.
"Ruan Tianque, you killed all of us!" Some people cursed unwillingly and died under the hooves of horses.
The timing of the raid by the Great Xia cavalry was extremely accurate, and it was just time for dinner, and the players who were tired from the day gathered around the camp to eat, and the inner circle was the second group of players who fought all night.
The cavalry charged like this, just inserting into the soft underbelly of the Annan player's camp.
Inevitably, panic spread.
With the help of moonlight and a little fire, the Great Xia cavalry set off a monstrous slaughter at the foot of the mountain.
The cavalry that raided was none other than the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard led by Ma Chao. It turned out that after the battle of Da Nang City, it seemed that Huo Qubing took the entire army south.
In fact, not long after the large army left the city, it was immediately divided into two after getting rid of the secret agents of Haiphong City. The corps commander Lu Bu led four divisions to secretly go north and lurk near Haiyun Mountain.
The only one who really went south was the First Division led by Huo Quzhi.
It's just that under the dispatch of this genius general, only one division set off a monstrous killing in the southern border of Annam, and even more misled the southern city because of his elusive skills.
Attacking two cities in a row in one day seemed to be carried out at the same time, but in fact, Huo Qubing used the strong mobility of the tiger and leopard cavalry to beat the enemy with a time difference.
In this way, the southern cities were convinced that the Great Xia Praetorian Guard Legion was indeed operating in the south, and they never dreamed that the real army was only one division.
It was such a misjudgment that caused a catastrophe to the second Southern Expeditionary Army.
The surprise attack of the Ma Chao Legion was like a heavy punch, hitting the soft underbelly of the Southern Expeditionary Army, inflicting a fatal blow on the other side, setting off waves of killing in the crowd.
On this night, the sky was destined to be blood-colored.
