Chapter 157: The wolf smoke is everywhere, and the decisive battle is coming!
In the blink of an eye, it had been two days, and the army of the city of vain had retreated again and again, and in the end, it was less than ten miles away from the city of vain death.
The lord of the city originally pinned all his hopes on Tong Yan, but Tong Yan's abnormal behavior made him uneasy.
Sitting in the main hall, his face was solemn, like a bomb that had lit its fuse, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
At this moment, Mr. Bai walked into the main hall.
He looked at his lord, and then asked, "Why is the lord's face so gloomy, isn't it for the young marshal?" ”
Hearing this, the lord of the city snorted coldly: "If it's not because of him, who else can it be?" I put the safety of the city in vain on him alone, but I didn't expect him to retreat in defeat. It seems that I do overestimate him, this son is just a talent on paper, and when he really goes into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid he is not as good as a pawn in my dead city. It's hateful that he even beheaded General Wang, who was born and died with me. I really don't know what his intentions are! Who did he meet with two days ago? What exactly did they talk about? ”
When Mr. Bai heard this, he shook his head and said, "Two days ago, the young marshal only took two entourages to the Ghost Bamboo Forest, and he was the only one who entered the Bamboo Forest. Who he met and what he talked about, I am afraid that no one but himself knows. My lord, why do you ask this? Could it be ...... Do you think he's on the verge of defection? ”
The lord of the city snorted coldly and said: "I don't know my heart, although this son is in love with me." But after all, it's not a dead soul, and the underworld has always been scheming, if he takes his handle, even if he doesn't want to betray me, I'm afraid he will have to do it obediently. No, I can't let him mess around anymore, so go to the city and bring me his brother. If you don't give him some drastic medicine, it seems that he doesn't know who to be the master. Hmph......"
When Mr. Bai heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my subordinates will do it!" With that, he hurried out of the main hall.
At this time, the camp of the capital can be described as singing and dancing. The army has won successive battles, and the army of the dead city has fallen into the wilderness, and anyone will think that the number of dead cities in vain has been exhausted, and it is only a matter of time before the city is captured.
The commander of Xudu raised the wine glass in front of him, toasted to the generals, and laughed: "Everyone, the city of vain death is close at hand, and the period of recovery is just around the corner." Just wait for the day of the great destruction of the city, that is, the time when we will soar. Come, let's drink this cup together and wish you a great victory in advance. ”
When the people in the tent heard this, they immediately raised their glasses and drank one after another.
"The marshal is wise and martial, and he is naturally invincible in leading us, and it is difficult to meet opponents. As long as the marshal gives an order, we will enter the city tomorrow and fight the thieves! ”
When the commander of the capital heard this, he laughed and said: "Okay, then tomorrow we will enter the city and make this immortal achievement!" Here, another toast! Haha......"
However, it was somewhat surprising that in this big tent, there was no old ghost who claimed to be the first adviser of the Trick Gate. Why is he nowhere to be seen? In fact, it is very simple, because at this moment he has become a prisoner!
Two days ago, he put Tong Yan together, and sent troops to attack the camp of the city of vain in a roundabout way. It stands to reason that he is a man who has made great contributions.
As soon as the coach saw the victory, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after him. However, he objected. He went out to seek stability and did not let the army of Xudu attack rashly.
But the marshal didn't listen, and he didn't expect to win several battles in succession. As a result, the position of the sloppy old ghost's military adviser is in jeopardy. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Xudu battalion, it is not that this old ghost is like a god with soldiers, but that the army of Xudu has excellent combat power. With or without him as a military advisor, he can actually win.
The status of the military advisor was questioned, but this old guy didn't know how to be flexible, and dared to say in public that the marshal was carried away by the victory, and if he didn't stop the precipice, he would only die without a place to be buried.
When Marshal Yudu heard this, he felt that his image was damaged, and he was furious on the spot, and immediately sent someone to lock up the old ghost.
It is precisely because of this that this old ghost did not appear at this celebration banquet.
In fact, Tong Yan's situation at this moment is also very unbearable, and his continuous withdrawal from the army has also been questioned by the whole army. But fortunately, he is the commander of the whole army, and as long as he is in power for one day, these soldiers will not be able to set off any strong winds and waves.
Tong Yan sat alone in the big tent, closing his eyes and resting. From time to time, he could hear the gossip of the soldiers outside the tent, but he turned a deaf ear to it.
The use of soldiers by strategists is unpredictable, and if it can be expected everywhere, then this strategist is just a general person.
He has been waiting, waiting for the best opportunity to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory. When the time comes, you can not only turn the tide of defeat, but also crush the enemy army in one fell swoop. But before that, he had to be patient.
At this moment, Mr. Bai suddenly broke into the big tent. He looked at the expressionless Tong Yan, and said with a slight smile: "Young marshal, the old man is here, because he has good news to tell you." That brother of yours has been rescued. It's right here for the lord! ”
When Tong Yan heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said happily: "Uncle Bai, have you really found him?" Is he okay now? ”
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Okay, very good!" The lord said, when you return triumphantly, you can be reunited with him. ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded heavily and said, "Please tell your father-in-law that this battle will be won!" In less than three days, I will be able to defeat the enemy army and return to the city! ”
Mr. Bai smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then the lord and I will wait for your good news in the city!" The old man still has something to do, so he retired first! After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the big tent directly.
Tong Yan watched him leave, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. The feud between the city of vain and the capital is as deep as the sea, what method did they use to rescue the Qing Ming? Could it be that there is something hidden in this?
Tong Yan pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, the people will come to my tent to discuss matters." Make no mistake! As soon as the words fell, the voice of the guards immediately sounded outside the tent.
In less than ten minutes, all the generals in the battalion had entered the tent.
Tong Yan looked at the generals and immediately said: "You must not have understood why I frequently retreated, I will tell you today." The art of war is cloudy, the soldiers are not in danger, look at the overall situation, abandon small profits, handsome talents, and big things can be achieved! The battlefield is changeable, the enemy is strong and we are weak, avoid its edge, recuperate and recuperate, in order to fight again. The strength of our army is limited, and if we fight hard, we will definitely lose. Only by cultivating obscurity, accumulating thick and thin, can we have the strength to fight. Now the army of Xudu has won frequently, and it is a time when confidence is inflated. It is said that if you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy. Now that the time is ripe, is there any reason not to fight? Now the commander points the troops and the generals, and the listener receives the order! ”
When the generals heard this, they immediately shouted in unison.
Tong Yan looked around, picked up a command flag on the desk, and then said loudly: "General Tang Jun, I order you to lead 10,000 male soldiers, ambush the left flank, and use the sound of the trumpet as an order to block the rear of the enemy army, there must be no mistake!" ”
When Tang Jun heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will take the order!" As he spoke, he took the order flag from Tong Yan's hand.
"General Ma Jie, I order you to lead 50,000 troops, ambush the right flank, use the drum as a trumpet, cut straight into the middle of the enemy's waist, so that they can't care about each other, if there is a difference, I only ask you!"
Hearing this, Ma Jie hurriedly knelt down on one knee and responded: "Yes, the last general is willing to go!" We will live up to our mission! As he spoke, he also took the Lingqi from Tong Yan's hand.
"General Zhang and Li, I order you to lead 100,000 male soldiers each to set up a large array in front of you. If the enemy rushes through the main formation, you two will come to see you! ”
When the two heard this, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, I'll wait for the order!" ”
Tong Yan then instructed some more matters, and then asked the generals to prepare.
The day of the decisive battle is set for tonight.
Can Tong Yan become famous in one battle, and can he defeat the army of Yudu in one fell swoop? Let's wait and see.
