ps: I want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions. Now search the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it to give more support to "I am the King"! Zhang Hongyu stared at Yang Guopei. Now he finally understood why Yang Guopei, who was the minister of the Ministry of War, personally sent this military order. Putting aside the confidentiality aspect, if such a military order was sent by an ordinary messenger, he would definitely Will doubt the authenticity of this military order and make mistakes in its execution
"Why did you suddenly change the original plan?" Zhang Hongyu put down the military order, stared at Zhang Guopei, and asked
Yang Guopei picked up the kettle again, this time as if he were drinking fine wine. He took a small sip, narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "Gongsun Yi's independent cavalry division has returned soon. Since the Qi people want to come to us in western Liaoning to cause trouble, , let them come wherever they can. The Qi people don’t have much cavalry to begin with. Wei He’s cavalry of 20,000 people is the last thing they have. The governor wants to keep them completely in Liaoxi. But in this way, you are here The pressure on Xiaoshanguan is very great, and Tian Dan will definitely see something fishy here soon."
Zhang Hongyu sighed, "For us soldiers, it is nothing to sacrifice our lives to fight, but if this happens, I am afraid that western Liaoning will suffer."
"Zheng Jun has already begun to make corresponding arrangements to minimize losses. Hongyu, in this battle, the governor is not planning for the gains and losses of a city or a place, but the effective force to defeat the Qi army. If we succeed, we will not only We can successfully march into Jicheng, and even take a step forward to capture the land of Qilu." Yang Guopei stood up, "Not only you, Ye Zhen also got military orders, in order to prevent Zhao Guo from coming to trouble us this time. Jiang Yizheng has personally entered Zhao to lobby Zhao Qi and King Zhao. Do you know what we have paid?"
Zhang Hongyu shook his head
"What we have paid for is the manufacturing technology of our Zhengdong Fu Arm Zhang Nu and the latest iron smelting technology that has just matured. Zhao State is already strong. After obtaining these two technologies, we can improve the army in a very short time. The combat effectiveness of the State of Qin can be restored to some disadvantages in the war against Qin. I believe that the Zhao people will definitely agree," Yang Guopei said
"Not long ago, I heard from the messenger here that the Qin State Master Li Ru had just left Jishi City, and we also promised to supply them with food. Now we have given these two technologies to the Zhao people, and they are doing business on both sides!" Zhang Hongyu suddenly laughed
"Both of them will become our enemies in the future. Now the harder and harder they fight, the greater the casualties, the happier we are!" Yang Guopei's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Everyone in the Zhengdong Mansion is a pragmatic person who is not constrained by false reputations. This is the attitude that should be taken in doing things. Therefore, in order to achieve this strategic goal, if the people of Liaoxi make some sacrifices, there is nothing they can do. Today's sacrifices, It’s about the happiness of tomorrow. Liaoxi has always received much attention in the Zhengdong government system, and all preferential policies always put them first. Now it’s time for them to contribute to the governor.”
Zhang Hongyu looked at Yang Guopei and suddenly felt that this guy was a little crazy and thought to himself,
Could it be that this guy came up with this plan? Shaking his head, he threw this idea to the back of his mind and did not think about it again.
He picked up the military order on the table again and read it carefully. I carefully understood this military order, which only contained a few hundred words, and finally read the infinite murderous intent inside the vest, and I couldn't help but sweat a little. His hair stood on end, but he was extremely excited. If the Governor's plan is implemented smoothly, no one will be able to contain the strong rise of Zhengdong Mansion. Looking at the world, only Daqin can compete with Zhengdong Mansion.
With his hands trembling slightly, he stood up and said to Yang Guopei: "The general will resolutely execute military orders."
Yang Guopei nodded with satisfaction, "Commander Zhang, the most important thing to implement this plan is whether your new First Army can withstand Tian Dan's attack. Since the new First Army was formed, it has not fought a single battle." This is a big battle. Although the junior officers inside are all experienced soldiers, other soldiers do not have this quality. This is a great test for your newly formed First Army, but it is also a great opportunity for unparalleled achievements. It is yours. In your hand, it just depends on whether you can hold him."
"The general will not let down the governor's great hope," Zhang Hongyu said firmly.
After nearly half a month of rapid march, the speed of the newly formed First Army suddenly slowed down. At the same time, various weapons and ordnance from western Liaoning began to continuously gather into the army, allowing the newly formed First Army to carry out long-range strikes. The equipment ratio of weapons and defensive weapons far exceeds that of any army.
Wei He led 20,000 cavalrymen to the Kooshan Pass. When they saw the ruins of the Kooshan Pass, they could not help but raise their whips and laugh loudly. They thought that the pass would become their territory from now on, but even this dangerous pass was demolished, but they didn’t expect me to wait until today. If the pass still existed, only a force of three to five thousand people would be stationed. , they can keep us out of the pass, what's the point of shouting? Now that we have passed through the pass, who can stop our Qilu cavalry?"
The surrounding generals also laughed loudly
"If Heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. This is bad news for the Eastern Army, but it is a blessing for our Qi country. Soldiers, follow me!" Wei He took the lead, whipped his horse, and galloped across the Xiaoshan Pass. At the ruins, the iron cavalry is rolling, rushing towards the land of western Liaoning
At this time, Tian Fucheng also launched a crazy attack in Langya County. He finally saw his men attacking the city top again and again. Although they were driven down by their opponents every time, the opponents were stronger every time. The difficult counterattack allowed him to see that the Eastern Expedition Army troops in Hope City were no longer all dressed in navy blue. He also saw Minzhuang in colorful clothes stepping onto the city and joining the counterattack array. , this can only mean one thing, that is, the opponent has a gap in military strength.
The enemy's rotation speed is also getting faster and faster. During the half-day attack, Tian Fucheng has seen the troops led by the same general appear three times in a row. In the past, such rotation speed was usually every morning and afternoon. once
They finally couldn't hold on any longer. Tian Fucheng finally felt relieved when he looked at the piles of corpses piled under the city wall. By now, he had completely given up on the fantasy of taking Langya County lightly. If he wanted to take this important city, the only feasible way was to exchange it with human life. Fortunately, they could afford it now. Because there are two extremely important figures in Langya County. To capture them is enough to defeat thousands of troops.
Outside the city, the Qi army's attacks became more and more urgent. Inside the city, on the streets, there were only groups of soldiers passing by occasionally and young men hurriedly withdrawing with carriers. There was almost no common people in sight. War is, after all, an extremely terrible thing for ordinary people. Every house closed its doors and burned incense in the house to pray for blessings. Pray that the sky full of immortal Buddhas can protect Langya County from being breached by the enemy.
Because everyone knows very well that in a strong city, the more fierce the resistance, the greater the damage caused to the enemy. Once the city is broken, the enemy's revenge will be more violent. It has been more than half a month since the Qi army attacked Langya County. There are piles of corpses. I don’t know how many casualties there will be. Once the city is broken, the people in the city will be killed. I'm afraid that no one will have a good life. Now that things have happened, only everyone can unite and ensure that Langya County City persists.
The drums outside the city became louder and louder, and the waves of shouting continued into the city one after another. It seemed that the Qi people had made a breakthrough somewhere. A huge cheer came from outside the city, and a moment later. The gate of Ye Mansion suddenly opened, revealing hundreds of men in black riding war horses. They filed out and rushed toward the city wall.
The soldiers and horses could not pass by half a stick of incense. A side door of Ye Mansion suddenly opened, and a servant-looking man came out. He looked around with a sly look, gently closed the door, turned around, and said anxiously Rushing towards the east
"The time has come!" In a certain house, the old man surnamed Wang stood up and tore open his outer robe with a tear. He was actually wearing a bright silver chainmail armor underneath. It's amazing that he has been wearing armor underneath these days. , waiting patiently for this moment to arrive, strode out of the house, and in the courtyard outside, nearly a hundred young and strong men had gathered. "Life and death, wealth, today, come with me!" He pulled out his saber with a choking sound, The old man surnamed Wang walked towards the door without hesitation, and more than a hundred people behind him followed closely.
"The time has come!" Ye Hong glanced at his wife, children, and children in the room with some sadness, "I will give it a try today. If I survive, I will be rich and prosperous for the rest of my life. If I die, the whole family will go to the underworld together, which is fine. "I won't be lonely." He picked up the spear beside him, walked out of the room, and took dozens of servants with him out of the house.
"The time has come!" In Langya County, at this time, among the five or six wealthy households, almost all of them were repeating a voice and repeating the same actions. They were led by the head of the family. There were more than a hundred people and some less. Dozens of people, all wearing armor, walked out of the house and headed towards Ye Mansion, gradually gathering together
There was the sound of horse hooves on the street, and a cavalry patrol galloped past the street. The general who led him frowned when he saw this group of people, and shouted loudly: "Stop, you are from that army, why are you not in the city at this time?" On duty?"
Everyone stopped and looked at the leaders with nervous expressions. This cavalry patrol was not large, only about ten people, but once they saw through it and started to use their hands, they would inevitably alarm Ye. Once Ye Jing'er escapes, if Ye Jing'er and her son cannot be caught immediately, they will be destroyed forever.
The old man surnamed Wang stepped out from the crowd, raised his hands to the leading cavalry general and said: "This general, we are all retainers of the Ye family. Previously, the city was in danger. My lady ordered Cao Tianci, General Cao, to lead his troops to the city to help. We, We are not good at fighting, but they are all good at looking after homes and nursing homes, so Miss asked us to take these people to Ye Mansion to protect them."
"Oh, so that's it. By the way, when Madam came back last time, I was on guard duty in the house and I saw you. Your surname is Wang, right?" The knight suddenly realized
The old man surnamed Wang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the general has good eyesight."
The cavalry general smiled and said: "I'm not a general, I'm just a small sentinel cavalry general. Go quickly. This army is in a panic. Don't let any blind thieves flow into the leaves." It would be bad if the lady and the young master were shocked in the mansion."
After saying these words, the cavalry commander led his men and galloped away. The old man surnamed Wang let out a long breath, looked back at the people behind him, and all of them had earth-colored faces. He couldn't help snorting coldly, "That's really it." It’s useless, let’s go, hurry up, so as not to cause any more trouble.” (The novel “I Am the King” will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
