Chapter 155: The Great War (5)

Another battle, dusk is coming.

On the battlefield of the Jiāo battle of the Shu army and the Qin army, there was no sound of fighting, and another battle of xiǎo scale was over. The Shu army retreated quickly again, while the Qin army was on the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses of their fallen comrades.

On the top of the city tower, Guo Wentong stood there, his waist straight, quietly watching the soldiers below cleaning up the battlefield.

Although it was dusk, I didn't want to go to sleep.

Although he never went to sleep, Guo Wentong's face did not show any fatigue at all, Chang Huaiyuan and the attendants beside him were also jīng Shen Yiyi, although Chang Huaiyuan was a scribe, but his body was still healthy, and with Guo Wentong's side, Jīng God was in a very good state.

A battle on a xiǎo scale had just ended below, and after the Shu army generals attacked the city, they went away with their soldiers and horses, although they had 30,000 soldiers and could chase and kill them, but they were stopped by Guo Wentong.

What is the purpose of the Shu army's report, Guo Wentong is also very skeptical now.

The consumption of one day and one night has lost more than 1,000 people.

But even if it was only a loss of more than 1,000 people, it also made Guo Wentong's heart ache secretly.

The equipment of the soldiers on both sides is very good, the weapons are sharp, and they are wearing leather armor, and these few xiǎo scale battles can be said to make both sides have a certain assessment of the other party.

The Shu army is very strong!

This is the feeling that Guo Wentong gets, whether the Shu army has obtained useful information from his side, it is not that Guo Wentong has time to think about it.

After several battles, the Qin army was already exhausted.

"Huaiyuan, you go and rest first, it's always like this, but it can't be done, go down and rest. Looking at the moon in the distance, Guo Wentong said lightly.

"Lord, the minister is not tired, you have been staring here, it is okay for a while, but the Shu army comes to attack from time to time, and it is always like this without resting, and the body will not be able to stand it. "It's not good for others to come over to persuade each other at this time, Chang Huaiyuan and Guo Wentong are very good in private, when Guo Wentong did not reach his current status, the two were friends with him, and after Guo Wentong took the position, Chang Huaiyuan was assisted under his account, and the relationship between the two can be seen.

Chang Huaiyuan's words really still have some effect.

"Don't worry, after a while, Ben Shuai will go to rest, there are still some things, I want Jiāo to replace them, you should step back first." ”

"No. Chang Huaiyuan didn't say anything more, bowed his hand to Guo Wentong, and under the protection of the guards, he went down to the city tower.

"Shang Chūn Yuan, Wei Guosu, you two will defend the city for the time being, Wei Guosu is the main general, Shang Chūn Yuan is the deputy general, if the enemy is coming, come to report to the commander, you must not go out of the city to face the battle!"

"The last general obeys!" the two tall generals stood up from the side and bowed their heads and hugged their fists.

Wei Guosu monk Chūn Yuan is Guo Wentong's general, Shang Chūn Yuan is straightforward and somewhat similar to Xu Yu, while Wei Guosu is born xìng calm, and has read some military books, some knowledge, has always been favored by Guo Wentong, can be said to be the first favored figure among military generals. It's just that he is low-key and rarely speaks on weekdays, but he is not so prominent.

There are actually a lot of strategists under Guo Wentong's account, but Guo Wentong has always been a heavy military officer and a light on literature, except for Chang Huaiyuan who can discuss some things with him, other civil servants have basically become officials who deal with documents.

Although Wei Guosu is a military general, he is the oldest among the military generals, and at some times, he can even act as a strategist's horn.

As early as when Xu Yu's attack failed, Guo Wentong had the idea of removing the guards, Shang Chūn talked about force from afar, not weaker than Xu Yu, Wei Guosu was able to be civil and martial, and acted very steadily, obviously the most suitable candidate.

Just after Guo Wentong's deployment, and before he could turn around and leave, outside the city, which was already empty, in the southwest direction, was full of smoke and dust!

Faintly, the sound of horses' hooves came quickly.

"Well, isn't that the direction in which the Shu army fled? Just left, could it be that it turned back again? What happened here?"

Guo Wentong looked in that direction, his brows furrowed slightly.

The people behind Guo Wentong, including the new guard general Wei Guosu, were slightly stunned at this moment, and looked in that direction from afar.

Obviously, they didn't know what was going on.

"It's the Shu army! The Shu army is here again!" I don't know who shouted first, and people's hearts suddenly became solemn.

The Shu army's siege of the city is not terrible, but the way the dragon sees the head and does not see the end is unsettling.

Guo Wentong forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked at the banner of the approaching Shu army, and said coldly: "What kind of calculation did Wang Hongyi play?"

If it's a siege, shouldn't it be a fierce attack?

Why, do you always fight on such a scale again and again?

What exactly did Wang Hongyi have in mind? Guo Wentong was not afraid of a large-scale attack by Wang Hongyi's army, but such a battle in which he could not figure out the other party's thoughts made him unable to calm down.

Because the sky is not yet completely dark, only with a layer of light, sprinkled behind the other party, these rushing Shu army, behind them is dusty, I can't see how many soldiers and horses, for a while, it seems that Wang Hongyi's 50,000 troops are all coming together, attacking the city!

On the big flag waving high, it seems to have an endless murderous aura, just looking at that flag, it will make people's hearts chill!

For a while, the Qin army in the city panicked.

Originally, the consumption of this period of time had already made Qin Jun hold his breath in his heart, and the Shu army came and went freely, as if it was a cat playing with a mouse, constantly harassing, the fear brought by this situation was far more unbearable than fighting every day, and at this moment, it seemed to erupt.

"Drag those wastes down!" Guo Wentong frowned and looked at the soldiers who suddenly shouted, and motioned to the people next to him.

Some veterans had already stepped forward and dragged these soldiers who had never seen much blood down.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers were experienced in a hundred battles and were not forced by the momentum of the Shu army, so Guo Wentong's mood was slightly calmed.

"Lord, the number of Shu troops this time is a little more than the previous two times. At this time, Wei Guosu, who was beside him, approached him and said.

Guo Wentong stared at the Shu army under the city and nodded: "That's true." However, the Shu army has been repeated like this, there must be a yīn plan, this time, our army will not fight, see how they are!"

"Yes, my lord. Wei Guosu also felt that the Shu army's repeated temptations were quite a bit of a conspiracy, but he didn't know what was wrong, and when he heard the lord's orders, he immediately obeyed the order.

Several generals under the city took turns calling for battle, and the people in the city, following Guo Wentong's orders, just didn't go into battle. The scolding below is getting more and more ugly, and even Guo Wentong's ancestors for eight generations have been turned out.

"Lord, let them scold like this again, the morale of the city will definitely drop greatly, it is better to lead the last general to fight and kill them!"

Finally, even Wei Guosu couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to ask for battle.

The fire in Guo Wentong's heart is also high, seeing that it was Wei Guosu who asked for battle, he felt that there was no problem, and nodded: "Add more xiǎo heart!

"Yes, my lord, the last general knows!" Wei Guosu replied seriously.

He is not Xu Yu, nor is he Shang Chūn Yuan, his xìng style is already cautious, coupled with the reminder of the lord, he will naturally not do anything superfluous.

A moment later, the city was wide open, and Wei Guosu led a group of Qin soldiers to kill out of the city and fight with the incoming army.

Standing on top of the city tower, watching the battle, Guo Wentong was thinking about all kinds of things in the past few days.

Wang Hongyi's thoughts at this time made Guo Wentong a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that Wang Hongyi led 50,000 Shu troops to attack Qin, which has a certain advantage.

At least in terms of troops, Wang Hongyi's 50,000 Shu army and his own 40,000 Qin army were more than 10,000 in numbers, which was by no means a Xiǎo number.

And in the siege of the city, all the time, the Shu army is almost invincible, those achievements, according to what I heard, almost all thanks to an object for the thunderbolt car, with that thunderbolt car, to break through the wall defense of a strong city, almost no problem, this is also a big reliance on Wang Hongyi to quickly pacify Shu.

But since the Shu army came to Qinchuan these days, although they have been constantly harassing and camping outside the city, the soldiers of the Shu army have even fought some battles with the Qin army, but they are all battles on a xiǎo scale, and the losses on both sides are not large, what is the purpose of the Shu army?

Guo Wentong doesn't think that Wang Hongyi will do anything useless, since the Shu army has done this, there must be a reason for them to do this!

But the problem now is that Guo Wentong can't find the reason why Shu Jun did this!

This is what Guo Wentong has always been haunted by, as if he is in the light and the enemy is in the dark, which makes people completely confused!

"Thunderbolt ......," Guo Wentong suddenly whispered.

"Lord?" the general beside him looked at him hesitantly.

"Why hasn't the Shu army used the Thunderbolt all the time, and why do you think that?" Guo Wentong asked the people around him.

"Did you bring that thing with you?" Shang Chūn Yuan said, "Or is that thing unlucky and not brought by the Shu army?"

Guo Wentong shook his head, how could he not bring this important thing with him when Wang Hongyi was attacking the city?

But after thinking about it, I don't understand what is the reason why the Shu army has never used such an almost anti-heaven weapon from the beginning.

Guo Wentong was very depressed in his heart, and his sensitivity to war made him feel that things were a little strange and something was wrong.

"Wang Hongyi, what is your idea?" Looking at the battlefield below, Guo Wentong's voice was almost inaudible.

After a few steps, all of a sudden, a flash of light passed by.

"Isn't it a siege, it's just a military training?"

"Is it necessary to mobilize 50,000 troops for training? These 50,000 troops are not a number of xiǎo, and the cost is huge, even if it is Shudi, it will not be able to support it for long. ”

"Could it be that Ming repairs the plank road and secretly crosses Chencang?" Thinking of this, Guo Wentong was startled, and the fog of the war dissipated, and the battle situation was suddenly revealed.

"It's not good, it's dangerous, Wang Hongyi is in Jingzhou!"
