Chapter 248 On the Eve of the Great War
In front of the Flying Fox Ancient Road, Wanyan Zonghan and Shi Liai stood side by side. They looked back and forth at the army that could not be seen, and their faces were very complicated.
"Wolf master, wait for the reward. The mountain thief in Xiaocangshan celebrated a few days ago. It should be Chu Tianya who came back from Hebei." Shi Liai said, "Now, Chu Tianya has set up a camp in Xiaocang Mountain and is welcoming the army of our Dajin Kingdom."
"He really regards himself as the number one." Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly and gently, "Does he think he can use some negative tricks to deal with us like last year?"
Shi Liai smiled slightly, "In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is futile."
"Humph..." Wanyan Zonghan gently lifted the corners of his mouth, "Last year, my big gold country was just a tentative blow. Originally, we thought that the thin camel in the Central Plains was bigger than the horse. I didn't expect that Zong Wang's division would kill him under the city of Tokyo. This year, it is bound to destroy the southern country in one fell swoop and eradicate the grass. Don't say that it's a Chu Tianya, even if ten Chu Tianya take millions of masters to stand in Taiyuan, it can't change this trend.
"Yes. The southern country has decayed from the inside. Even if the Dajin Kingdom does not destroy him, he will die of internal trouble sooner or later. Shi Liai said, "Instead of this, it's better for us to be kind and cut off early for him. This time, His Majesty raised the whole country's division to the south, with millions of male teachers, giving the last blow to the stormy southern country - they can't escape!"
Wanyan Zonghan looked sideways at the crutch horse that trotted out of the flying fox's mouth, and his expression was not relaxed. "How's the situation in Xiaocangshan?"
"I'm exploring one after another." Shi Liai replied, "Chu Tianya has practiced a green guard, and his strength is not inferior to wolf teeth. It is difficult for the scouts we sent to find out the definite information within them. It can only be judged from the outside world that Xiaocangshan's defense is very strong, mainly because it has set up a lot of roadblocks for our cavalry. The exchange between the camps echoes, and it's not too easy to fight.
"Then don't fight." Wanyan Zonghan said without hesitation, "Master, you go to the front in person. I will send 30,000 iron riders to protect you. You will preside over the construction of the camp. Don't be worse than Chu Tianya."
Shi Liai frowned slightly, "Is the wolf master going to have a protracted war?"
"Yes!" Wanyan Zonghan said, "Last year's lock city tactics were actually correct. It's just that something unexpected happened later. This year, they gathered troops in Xiaocang Mountain, which is better surrounded than Taiyuan City. We have 370,000 troops, including logistics and fodder, and it will take at least half a month for all of them to pass through the Flying Fox Ancient Road. The main thing to do is to ensure that Chu Tianya will not kill the Flying Fox Ancient Road within this half month.
"Don't worry, wolf master." Shi Liai arched her hand and said, "Although my subordinates are not talented, this can still be guaranteed."
"I believe in you, sir." Wanyan Zonghan smiled slightly, "For this battle, we have been lying on the salary for more than a year and have suffered all kinds of ridicule and humiliation from others. Now, it's time for us to be ashamed!"
"That's going down!" Shi Li Ai saluted and rode away.
Wanyan Zonghan took a heavy breath, "Chu Tianya, Huangkou Yuzi! If I don't destroy you this time, I, Wanyan Zonghan, will no longer be in power!"
In the handsome tent of Xiao Cangshan, there is a lot of tension and busyness. The fast horses and scouts fly like crucian carp crossing the river.
The wolf is finally here.
The war has not yet begun. The Qingwei and the scouts of the Hedong Rebel Army first competed with the golden man's wolf teeth and scouts. He Bo sent eight Qingwei to spy on the enemy and contain the other party's eyeliner. The leader, of course, is the former wolf-toothed leader, the rosefinch. They went out for a day and brought back eleven heads, and now they are dying here in Chu Tianya.
"These are all wolf-toothed people?" Chu Tianya looked at these people and asked.
"Half of it is." The rosefinch replied calmly.
Chu Tianya looked at her sideways. Although the rosefinch's expression was calm, the expression in his eyes was very complicated. These wolf tooth guards used to be rosefinch's peers or students, and there may be deep feelings between them. But today, each has its own lord. Either you die or I die.
It turns out that there is still a gap between these wolf teeth present at the head and their big leader.
"How about the enemy?" Chu Tianya asked.
The rosefinch replied, "The enemy first sent a small group of wolf teeth and scouts through the Flying Fox Ancient Road to clear the passage; then about a thousand iron riders quickly arrived and built temporary fortifications. At present, the Jin army is heading south one after another. So far, at least nearly 30,000 iron riders have crossed the valley... They are all elite crutches!"
"This group of people must be elite troops." Chu Tianya said, "They want to gain a foothold after coming here to prevent me from sneaking on. Behind it is the main army and the grain and fodder - the rosefinch. Can you find out how many people there are on the other side?
The rosefinch shook his head, "No one is willing to be a prisoner of these fangs and scouts."
Chu Tianya nodded, which can only be judged by Zong Bi's letter. Wanyan Zonghan's people will not be less than 300,000!
If this news is made public, the 100,000 rebels will be in turmoil.
"I estimate that the other party is only 60,000 to 70,000 people." Chu Tianya said, "Taiyuan is not the main battlefield. The Golden Congress put the main force in Zhending and take the three towns of Hebei first. Therefore, there won't be too many troops in Hedong. I estimate that Wanyan Zonghan will first gain a firm foothold and then take off the defensive to fight a protracted war of attrition with our army. When the battle in Hedong is over, he will decide how to deal with us - the military division, what do you think?
Bai Qi stood up and hugged his fist, "The Lord is wise. What my subordinates see is roughly the same as that of the master.
Both of them have a tacit understanding. There are not many people in the Jin Kingdom, and try not to let their subordinates feel panic.
"Lord, does our army need to take the initiative to take the initiative?" Jiao Wentong asked, "The protracted war is a huge test for the logistics supply of Xiaocangshan."
"This, you need to find out the information before you can decide." Chu Tianya can only be sloppy. He can't tell Jiao Wentong that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the other side!
"Report--" At this moment, the hook that led another group of scouts returned the military situation.
"Come in, please--" Chu Tianya said.
He entered the account and said, "Lord, the 30,000 vanguards of the golden soldiers have arrived at the outpost camp of Xiaocang Mountain, only three or four miles away, waving flags and shouting battles there!"
"What? Call the array?" Chu Tianya frowned and felt very strange.
Bai Xun, Jiao Wentong and others were also a little puzzled. Bai Xun said, "It is reasonable that the enemy is tired from coming from afar. It should be firmly guarding to prevent our army from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the camp. Why did they take the initiative to fight?"
Chu Tianya's heart moved, "Who is the enemy's vanguard?"
"I don't know." Gouzhen replied, "The enemy's flag is the 'Wanyan' flag. I don't know which master will supervise the battle."
Chu Tianya and Bai Qi looked at each other, "Is it Wanyan Zonghan himself?"
Jiao Wen Channel, "There are a lot of people surnamed Wanyan in Jin Guo. How can it be expected to be Wanyan Zongyan?"
"The second brother doesn't know anything." Bai Wei said, "It is most important to stand on the first array. At present, the Jin army is crossing the ancient road of Feihu one after another. If the former army is unstable or defeated, the troops behind will not be formed and the army will not become an army. Xiaosheng dares to bet that there must be a large number of military workers repairing fortifications behind these 30,000 iron riders. They are frightening the snakes and taking the initiative to fight to prevent our army from highlighting the strange division to rob the camp.
"Then shall we fight or not?" Jiao Wentong's eyes stared.
Bai Shu punched Chu Tianya, "Please make a decision!"
Chu Tianya frowned slightly, "As the military division said, this first battle is indeed crucial. The vanguard of the enemy, even if it is not Wanyan Zonghan himself, may be a general who stands alone, or he is in charge of the war when he is the master. Thirty thousand troops are ready to come, and they are not idle. If our army jumps out of the camp to fight with it, it is not cost-effective to attack each other with its own shortcomings. This may be the effect that Wanyan Zonghan wants. They are afraid of our camp, so they are eager to fight in the field. So I think - don't fight!"
"Then let them build fortifications so grandly?" Jiao Wentong and others will ask.
"I won't fight, but I can harass you." Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "Second brother, you don't need a cow knife to kill chickens. You don't have to bother you to appear in such a trivial matter - Liu Ziyu!"
"My subordinates are!" Liu Ziyu stood up excitedly and held his fist to take the order. This is his first official opportunity since he joined the group.
"You have been harassing and fighting with Jin soldiers in Zhending, Hebei for more than a year. You are an snominator in this regard." Chu Tianya said, "I'll give you five hundred tigers and five hundred Khitan iron riders and a thousand horses to play with the enemy vanguards. One principle is that you will never fight head-on, and you will never go deep alone. Got it?"
"I understand!" Liu Ziyu answered loudly, "I will never let the enemy build a camp safely!"
"Smart, it's not that I want you to kill as much as you want, but to make it difficult for him to stand." After Chu Tianya finished speaking, he called again, "Old man."
"My subordinates are!" Uncle He stood up.
Chu Tianya came forward and whispered, "It's time for you to make great use of your side door. When the enemy came from afar, the first thing was to look for water to drink, cut firewood and bury the pot. There are a lot of articles in this drinking water.
"The old man understands." Uncle He smiled and said, "Even if you can't poison tens of thousands of them, the old man can make them feel weak and dizzy for a while! If you are lucky, it is not impossible to kill a few captains and ten thousand captains.
"The rosefinch, you stay." Chu Tianya said.
The rosefinch's eyebrows sank, "The lord can't trust his subordinates?"
Chu Tianya came to her and said, "I don't want you to be in a dilemma and feel pain in your heart. After all, among those wolf tooth guards, there are your former colleagues and friends.
The rosefinch took a gentle breath, didn't say much, and nodded.
"Report--" Another scout came to report, this time it is Qingwei Sky.
"Come in and say--"
The big fat man ran in the sky and sweated profusely. "Master, Xue Yu, the vanguard of the former battalion, reported that the enemy's vanguard soldiers were divided into five roads, with two to three thousand iron horses on each route, infiltrating and harassing all parts of our camp - please, will you attack and annihilate them?"
"The enemy came to explore the camp in the name of invitation." Bai Xun said quickly, "Lord, these groups of cavalry must be annihilated or expelled!"
"What good strategy do you have?" Chu Tianya asked.
Bai Shu replied, "The most feared thing about the nine palace gossip array is this kind of small invading enemy. The camp moves, like a huge wheel crushing, so that these small enemies will come and go back - you only need to give an order from your subordinates, and the leaders will return to their respective camps, and you can win with the bow and crossbow traps of the base camp!"
"That's good. My idea is that you can't fight in the field." Chu Tianya said, "Go and order it. It's up to you!"
"Yes!" Bai Shu solemnly agreed, hurried out to select the flag bearer, and went to issue an order.
"This vanguard of the enemy is very ghostly." Chu Tianya said, "First, take the initiative to fight, and then turn it into zero to visit the camp. He is clearly paving the way for the main force behind him. Attention, we must not let them cut off the supply line between us and Taiyuan - has Xiao Linglong arrived yet?
Almost as soon as Chu Tianya's voice fell, a man walked into the tent, rose armor night fork mask scarlet robe, stood in the hall and held a fist, "I'm here!"
Chu Tianya looked at her and could only see her eyes through the eye sockets of the mask.
The four eyes are opposite, curled up in every way.
"I ordered you to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to take over the grain and grass in Taiyuan and Xishan, and specialize in cleaning up the grain and road to support logistics." Chu Tianya said, "It's forbidden, let's go now!"
"Yes!" Xiao Linglong should promise.
"Wait!" Jiao Wentong hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, you'd better go down and do such a heavy thing. The lord and the princess have been separated for a long time..."
"If you go to pledge food, who can be the general?" Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank, "I have ordered it. Don't say too much!"
