Chapter 559: News from the Outside
Immediately after, I heard the voice of the snake three ladies eagerly explaining faintly outside the tent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Because Hu Qi is stationed in the Lhatse tribe, the security is very strict, and it is difficult to find out any news even if he is a concubine. There are some rumors and speculations though. It was only because of the battle outside Mochizuki City that the soldiers and horses of the five battalions of Daxia were completely scattered, and then many remnants of the army ...... Hiding in the surrounding grasslands and wilderness, constantly causing trouble, and even a large tribe of 10,000 people was exterminated, this group of Hu Qi must have come for this matter. ”
When the eavesdropping military attachés heard this, some were surprised, some were excited, some were dissatisfied, and some frowned.
This news was really shocking, and it was the most exciting battle situation in recent times, and they were naturally amazed and admired, and they wanted to know which brothers' big strokes were made.
But then comes trouble.
Originally, remnants of armies like them were scattered in all directions to fight separately, and the number of each remnant army was pitifully small and unsuccessful, so at the moment of the war, it was difficult to attract the attention of Hu Guo, so they had more than a month to live in peace. However, making such a big event, although it was very morale-boosting, it also attracted Hu Guo's attention, as evidenced by the arrival of this Hu Qi.
"Who do you think it would do?"
"Bacheng is the brother of the Cold Moon Battalion, they have the largest number, and they are personally led by the commander of the White Battalion, who is the strongest and most courageous among the many remnants!"
"They dare to fight, presumably they have already run away after making enough military achievements, but they have left us with trouble!"
A group of military attachés were talking outside the tent, but the more they talked, the more annoyed they became, until they heard Liu Heng's voice again, and they quickly quieted down again.
"This battle of annihilation has been a month ago, if you want to say that you came to encircle and suppress the remnants of the army from all walks of life, why did you come now?"
"This, this, including the matter of the battle of the Annihilation Department, the concubine body did not hear about it until the arrival of this Hu cavalry, when it happened, but the concubine body is not as clear as the head of the regiment. The voice of the third lady of the snake trembled, with palpitations and grievances.
Hearing this, the eyes of the military attachés outside the tent met, all with a hint of inexplicability, just because from a few words, they heard a lot of things.
"Our head is really not simple. ”
"Yes, it is a blessing for us to have such a leader. ”
The dialogue between the third lady of the snake and Liu Heng in the account clearly revealed a lot of things. The snake three ladies have not yet explored the things that the snake head has not yet explored, but the head of the regiment who lives in this poor countryside like them knows better than the three snakes, and even the time of the occurrence is said in one word, which shows that the head of the regiment obviously has unknown channels to get the news.
This made them feel more at ease, and it was a good thing to follow such a group leader.
Moreover, Liu Heng directly pointed out this matter in front of the third lady of the snake, on the one hand, there should be a warning to the third lady of the snake, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the third lady of the snake has played some tricks behind his back to deter.
Then the voices of the two people in the account lowered, and no matter how hard the military attachés tried, it was difficult to eavesdrop, and they were itched unbearably.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Heng to say: "Okay, you go to rest first, and then listen to the summons later." ”
The third lady of the snake only agreed, opened the curtain and walked out, and was not surprised to see so many military attaches gathered outside the tent, and only after saluting everyone did she say: "The regiment commander invites the generals to enter the account." ”
When the military attachés heard this, they still hurried in.
When he entered the account, he saw two large chairs in front of him, on which the two regimental commanders sat separately, and the four regimental deputies under his command and the senior overseer were lined up on both sides, all of them were moody and angry, and they couldn't see anything at all.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Heng said to them: "What is the matter, you have almost overheard it outside the tent, tell me what you think." ”
As soon as these words came out, many captains and team vice-presidents laughed heavily, and even scratched their heads, only to feel that Liu Heng was really straightforward.
"What the head of the regiment said, we didn't mean to eavesdrop......"
"Isn't that just a coincidence......
Liu Heng interrupted unceremoniously: "Okay, let's get down to business." ”
When the generals heard this, they were immediately solemn, and one of the captains took the lead and said: "Dare to ask the regiment commander, how many soldiers and horses are there in this Hu cavalry?"
Liu Heng said lightly: "The one who came is still the old enemy, the elite giant army of the Hu State, and now there are nearly a thousand people stationed in the Latse tribe, led by a thousand commanders with the peak of the fourfold martial arts." ”
This is detailed enough to make the generals' expressions more dignified.
The Giant Army is the elite of the Hu State, and the last time it broke the Moon Guard, which was expected to be 5,000 soldiers and horses, with a number of 2,000, its strength can be seen. Although there are only a thousand horsemen now, they are no longer the Mochizuki Guards they once were, and the real combat power is nothing more than these two hundred soldiers, and the gap in strength with the other party is obvious.
Compared with the "Snow Mountain Giant Array" practiced by the Giant Army, the "Thrilling Array" they practiced was better, but even so, it could not make up for the huge gap in numbers between the two sides.
This thousand Hu horses can be condensed into five triple "Snow Mountain Giant Arrays", and their triple "Thrilling Arrays" are only two at full play, with two against five, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no chance of winning.
"May I ask the regiment commander, what is the matter with this group of Hu cavalry?" a captain asked cautiously after groaning, which was also a matter of great concern to the military attachés.
Liu Heng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "To be honest, I don't know very well." But now the war situation between the two countries, I can say it first, and you can analyze it together. ”
This is what the soldiers want to know the most, so when they heard this, everyone made a look of intent.
"After we left the customs, the new troops in the rest of the border cities also came out of the customs one after another, and most of them encountered the surprise attack of Hu Guojing's cavalry. Nearly half of them were completely dispersed and scattered into countless remnants, only half resisted the surprise attack, and the three guards were successful in the first battle and became famous all over the world. ”
Liu Heng spoke quietly and told everyone about the news he had gotten, "After this battle, the army was extremely damaged, and the vanguard army that originally planned to be 400,000 people, only about 300,000 finally gathered. Of course, Hu Guo's side was not without damage, it can be said that one thousand enemies were injured and eight hundred were damaged. ”
"After that, the three armies pulled out the three major battlefields respectively, the left army faced the Huyan wolf cavalry on the Yongsui side, the middle army faced the Knowles leopard cavalry in Jingzhou, and our right army fought fiercely with the main force of the giant army. Speaking of which, the battlefield of the right army is not far from the Wangqi Sanshan where we are staying now, I heard that the battle was fierce, in just over a month, the right army fought from 80,000 to only 40,000, a full half of the loss, and it was about to be unable to hold on. ”
This is really bad news, hearing this, the faces of the military attaches are heavy, and their eyebrows are tightly locked, but Liu Heng's regiment-level military attachés all seem very calm, it should be because they have learned the news a long time ago.
Then everyone heard Liu Heng say again: "Of course, it's not all bad news. Because the fierceness of this battle far exceeded the expectations of both sides in advance, the preparations of the two countries have also been accelerated, and at most in half a month, more armies will come out of the customs one after another. ”
Hearing this, the expressions of the military attachés gradually relaxed, and they were no longer as heavy as they were just now.
"May I ask the regimental commander, since we know where the main battlefield is, why do we still stay here and not join the army?" a captain saluted and asked, "Please also ask the regimental commander to make it clear." ”
This is also a question on the minds of many people.
After hearing this, Liu Heng didn't answer and asked, "I want to ask you, when do you think this battle will end?"
He suddenly threw out such a question, which made the generals muttered in their hearts, not knowing what he wanted to say. Although they had their own thoughts, since Liu Heng asked on the surface, they also answered one after another.
"To look at it humbly, such a war is staggering, whether it is my Great Xia or Hu State, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it for long, at most it should be over in a year and a half. ”
"I also feel that it is almost the same, but the result is that Beihu can't hold it first, and then give up some territory, or I can't hold it first, and I have to withdraw to the difference between Taoguang and Yanghui in Guannai. ”
"If such a fierce battle continues, the battle damage will be too terrifying, and it is estimated that it will be over in only three or five months. ”
A group of military attachés expressed their opinions, saying that the time of this battle lasted for two or three months, and that there were many who said that it was one or two years, but it was only two years. This was the most extreme situation they could think of, and no one thought that this battle would last more than two years.
Then, a military attache cautiously asked, "I don't know what the regiment commander wants?"
Liu Heng hesitated slightly, "What if I said that this battle would become protracted and last far longer than everyone imagined?"
The military attaches looked at each other, all stunned.
"How could the head of the regiment have such an idea?"
"Impossible, right?"
"Our Great Xia's national strength is here, if it lasts for more than two years, it will be difficult to continue, and it will not be able to recover after twenty years of recuperation. According to what the head of the regiment said, unless the princes of the court and even the saints are crazy!"
"Is the head of the regiment worried?"
When they were almost finished, Liu Heng said lightly: "Maybe you still don't know, before we left the customs, the imperial court sent an envoy to the Demon Clan's Holy Court. ”
As soon as these words came out, the military attachés were all shocked in their hearts and their faces were shocked.
What did the imperial court send an envoy to the Demon Clan's Holy Court for?
Especially at this delicate time, the imperial court's move will inevitably make people think about it, and the most likely of them is to seek an alliance!
As we all know, the forces of the Hu State and the Demon Clan and the Hundred Martial Sacred Land encircled and suppressed the Monkey Demon Clan in the Hundred Martial Arts, causing the entire Demon Clan to be shaken by this, and the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for more than two years.
The monkey demon clan in the world poured out of the nest and went to Baiwu to help, not only that, but the major demon clans in the demon clan who were friendly with the monkey demon clan also sent many strong people to go there openly or secretly, and this battle was won by the world.
It is rumored that there has been a fierce battle of the power of the Overlord Realm, and there is more than one, which also makes the two sides completely fight the real fire, regardless of the real victory or defeat, I am afraid there will be no truce at all.
In this context, there was the assassination of the crown prince as an introduction, and Daxia brazenly entered the war.
Originally, in everyone's hearts, Daxia should have wanted Hu Guo to suffer from the enemy, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bargain for some cheapness, so they all felt that if Hu Guo paid some price, Daxia would end it quickly.
But if the imperial court sent an envoy to the Demon Clan's Holy Court, then it would be completely different.
This means that Great Xia doesn't just want to fight alone, but wants to completely bet on the side of the demon clan and join this real battle that has swept the three places, not just to take advantage of it.
If this is the case, I am afraid that Liu Heng's seemingly unbelievable speculation will come true, and no one can predict how long this battle will last.
But no one can figure out the reason why the court did this, and the more I think about it, the more unbelievable it feels, which is really unreasonable.
"That's not true, is it?"
"Dare to ask where the regiment leader got this news?" asked a captain.
Liu Heng thought about it, but after all, he didn't tell the truth, and said vaguely: "You don't have to doubt it, this news is indeed conclusive, and I will never lie to you with this kind of thing." ”
From the very beginning, Liu Heng was not prepared to rely only on the snake three ladies and the six caves and eighteen villages to listen to the news outside, so he has been contacting Bai Shishi through Qianli Ling during this time, and only then did he get more accurate news.
The guards who were attacked, there were three guards who successfully counterattacked, but let the Hu cavalry who came to raid have no return, and suffered heavy losses. According to what he said, although the guards of the other two guards concealed their true identities like him, the origin was obviously not simple, and Bai Shishi guessed that the guards of one of the guards should be Liu Heng's eldest brother who had never met but had admired his name for a long time.
With Bai Fourteen's true identity, he would never joke about such a major event, but it was more authentic than anyone else's news.
It's just that the source of this news, Liu Hengzhen is really not good at talking to the generals, so he can only be vague.
"Since the head of the regiment said so, we naturally believe it. ”
Even because of Liu Heng's flickering words, the generals were still suspicious, and they naturally believed it on their faces, "If this is the case, then this battle will be completely different from what we expected before." ”
"Exactly. ”
Liu Heng nodded and said, "Since the battle will be fought for a long time, what we have to think about is not something overnight. As you say, to join the army, we have not thought about it before. But to tell the truth, in this situation, if we really join the army, we will inevitably be just a ragtag army that is not taken seriously, and when the time comes, in such a fierce battle, we can't help ourselves, and it is nothing less than a delusion to want to make a contribution, and maybe the whole army will be wiped out if it doesn't last half a month. ”
"Besides, the current situation of the army, there are not many remnants of our army, and there are not many of us more than 200 people, but it doesn't matter. In view of this, after several of us deliberated, we rejected the idea. ”
Listening to his explanation, all the captains and team vice-presidents were stunned and nodded in agreement.
"Not only us, but judging from the news from all sides of Commander Jin, many of the rest of the remnants have similar plans. For example, the remnants of the Cold Moon Battalion, which slaughtered a 10,000-person tribe in the Hu State a month ago, also did not go to join the army. After they did this, they only sent people to the side of the army to report the victory and ask for a reward for their military exploits, but they still wandered in the wilderness within thousands of miles nearby, while breaking through their reputation and attracting the remnants of all sides, and at the same time feeding the war with war. ”
Niu Ziaxe said this, and his tone was also very unhappy, "They are having a good time, but they have attracted this nonsense, but we are also in trouble, I called you here today to discuss together, will we leave or stay in the future?" )
