The devil is coming

Chapter 965 National War ([-])
The "meeting" across the canyon is over;
What ended together was actually a tacit understanding that both parties knew more or less well during this period of time.
That night,
Gou Moli issued a military order, and the entire army made preparations overnight. At the same time, after eating the "food" for so many days, the grain road from the rear of Fan City finally began to transport food here.
The next morning, more than 3 barbarian soldiers formed the main force of the Chinese army, plus more than 1 soldiers who were either forced or bribed early. In short, the mixed soldiers composed of various forces in the Chu area who were packed up were only [-] in full, but to the outside world They raised the banner of a hundred thousand troops, and after resting in place for a month, they started again and headed towards Guyue City.
finally,
After five days,
The vanguard sentries from Fan City appeared twenty miles north of Guyue City, and the defenders of Guyue City did not insist on holding on. On the contrary, they took the initiative to start a small-scale battle with the sentries from Fan City. of fighting.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers of the true Da Chu nobles.
Whether it was the Qingluan Army or the Dugu Army back then, if taken individually, they were both top-notch elites, and the same was true for Xie's Army.
Therefore, in terms of sentry cavalry warfare, Fan Cheng did not take advantage. What's more, the Xie family's sentry cavalry not only broke through the Fan Cheng Army's sentry cavalry defense line, but also continued to penetrate further north, appearing in front of the Fan Cheng Army's central army. conditions within the field of view.
This is a great shame!
For the Yan army, it has almost become normal to rely on the strength of cavalry to suppress opponents. Generally speaking, unless it is a specific terrain, whoever has stronger cavalry will often have the advantage of having a better view of the battlefield.
Now, he is being pressured by others.
Although this is a savage army, precisely because they are the most savage troops in the Jindong Army system, they are more eager to prove themselves to gain more recognition and higher status.
Gou Moli, the head coach of Fan Chengjun, personally held a whip and whipped three sentry and cavalry lieutenants. He immediately removed them from their official positions and kicked them into the trap camp, that is, the death camp.
In the early years when the Yan Army formed a system of military towns, there must have been this battalion configuration, and the Shandong Army also inherited this standard configuration.
Subsequently,
Gou Moli ordered many of his generals to be sent out one after another, leading his troops to spread out, and forcefully demanded control of the battlefield in this area.
But this time the Chu army showed a completely different reaction from the past. Not only did they not give in in the previous small fights, but after the scale of the battlefield was upgraded, they also adopted tit-for-tat measures. A large number of Chu troops were also divided. For multiple groups, they began to compete and confront the savage army in this area.
In the past three days, there were no fewer than ten encounters involving more than two hundred people from both sides.
And if the situation continues to escalate, a large-scale battle will break out. In this way, the Savage Army does not need to attack Guyue City at all, and can complete the strategic decisive battle in this area with the Chu Army in advance.
……
In the commander's tent, subordinates kept coming to report the military situation that had just happened. Gou Moli sat on the commander's seat with his legs crossed, shaking his legs while listening, feeling very proud of himself.
The sword master did not go back to recover, but stayed, which was actually Zheng Fan's order.
The fact that the Prince Regent, who was always afraid of death, was willing to give away the strongest sword beside him was enough to show the importance of Gou Moli's place to the entire national war.
Because he had been sitting in the commander's tent with him all the time, even though the sword master would often take a nap, he could still keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield ahead.
In addition, in recent years, he has accompanied Zheng on many expeditions, and his military knowledge has naturally increased.
Even the Sword Master could see the strangeness of the battle ahead.
Since the end of the Three Kingdoms War, it has been a foregone conclusion that Yan will be strong and Chu will be weak. Five years of recuperation has ended, and now Dayan is coming with a huge force to overcome it.
The wisest thing for the Chu people to do is to shrink their defense. In fact, this is what the Chu people did;
South of the Wei River, the main force of the entire Jindong army is located there, while the main force of the Chu royal family's forbidden army is completely on the defensive;
But in the smaller battlefield to the west, the Chu people showed an unusually high-spirited and enterprising attitude. They refused to give up an inch of ground and did not even want to lose the limelight.
After listening to another report, Gou Moli opened his eyes, glanced at the Sword Master sitting there, suddenly thought of something, and smiled:
"Brother, do you still remember the time when I was imprisoned in the Snow Customs Dungeon? At that time, you often came to see me, and that was one of the rare times when I could see the sun again."
"The man surnamed Zheng said that if a person suddenly likes to recall the past, it proves that he is about to die."
"It's also very interesting. Our prince has always given me the feeling that he is not afraid of ghosts and gods, and that imperial power is bullshit. But sometimes, the prince always has a lot of strange... taboos.
I am not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, but I am afraid of jumping cockroaches. Maybe, this is the life. "
Gou Moli quickly ended his emotion and continued; "I remember I told you at that time that I had a dream. In that dream, I stood with you, facing thousands of troops, you Do you remember?"
The sword master said nothing.
"Do you believe it? In fact, some things were destined long ago. When I was among the savage prisoners of war, the reason why I dared to identify myself was because I had seen the shadow of the future."
"Have you started to believe in the stars too?"
"No, no; because I can see that General Shengle at that time was very angry and took a completely different path.
When I told him that I was the Savage King and he didn't kill me right away, I knew that one day I would be able to sit back in command.
At that time, you were recuperating from your injuries and were so bored that you pulled my cage out to talk to me. Hahaha, I know you hated me to the core and wanted to see me miserable for fun;
But do you know?
When I was sitting in the cage, I guessed that one day, you would stand with me, and you would have to use your sword to protect my safety.
I'm not trying to offend you, nor am I trying to provoke you, I'm just making a statement. "
From the last sentence, it seems that Gou Moli is still afraid of the Sword Master. He is afraid that what he said is too out of the ordinary, and then the Sword Master directs a sword energy to give himself a pleasure;
The sword master took action, but the two people lying under his blanket couldn't bear it at all.
Moreover, Gou Moli knew better that the Sword Master might have stayed with the "Lord" for a long time, and some of his temperaments would inevitably be affected. For those who dared to be arrogant in front of the Lord, the Lord would first smile and then backhanded him. Shoot it to death at all costs.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Juggernaut asked.
"The road has actually been visible for a long time, but after you see it, you still have to continue walking on it. You know that you will change, and I also know that I will change.
But in the end, whether you know it or not, you actually have to walk from the beginning of the village to the end.
We both are like this,
opposite,
In fact, the same is true.
This is the comfort of this battle. "
"Comfortable?"
"Yes, it will be very comfortable."
Gou Moli shouted:
"Come on."
Two soldiers entered the commander's tent.
"Send the order, the Chinese army will press forward for thirty miles!"
The Chinese army pressed forward for thirty miles, and they were about to directly touch Guyue City. They also forced the Chu State to make a decision, either to retreat back to the city, or to fight decisively!
The entire camp moved because of the commander's order;
Gou Moli and the Sword Master walked out of the handsome tent together and looked up at the sky. The sun was just right.
"I remember that the prince once said that if a butterfly flaps its wings on the Pacific Ocean, a big snowstorm may occur in the snowfield in a year or two.
Although, I have never understood what kind of sea the Taiping Sea is. "
The sword master said: "When he goes to the Qian Kingdom in the future, he can just change the name of Donghai. That's how Mount Tai came."
"Hahahaha, so there is a gap in our prince's mind, and his plans are far-reaching.
However, I can understand the meaning of this.
To the south of us is Guyue City. Capturing it or bypassing it will kill the channel for blood transfusion between Ganren and Chu.
It's important, but it's not particularly important.
Because even if we get in, even if we enter what the Chu people call...Chunan, that is, the old land of Shanyue, my soldiers and horses can only circle around in those big mountains and rivers. No waves can be produced.
Therefore, the real battlefield is still on our prince's side. That is the main battlefield of the national war, the showdown that determines the fate of the two countries.
But,
I, Gou Moli, am just a little butterfly now. I am flapping my wings here, and there is no doubt that the wind will blow over there. "
At this time, the guards were already packing up the handsome tent and preparing to pack up and move.
Gou Moli saw a guard carrying the small purple box he had brought, and quickly reminded him: "Pay attention, be careful."
"Yes, sir."
"What is so precious?"
"Are you curious?" Gou Moli clapped his hands and motioned to the guard to bring the small box over. He took the box and opened it. There was a doll inside.
Gou Moli picked it up and found that there was another doll that was exactly the same but smaller inside. He picked it up again and found an even smaller doll. He took out several dolls in a row. In short, there was a smaller one underneath.
"Her Royal Highness's favorite toy." Gou Moli put the porcelain doll back on according to its size, "It's quite interesting."
……
When the barbarian army made a posture of pressing forward, the Chu army finally stopped resisting and began to retreat. As soon as they retreated, the barbarian army quickly filled in and took control of the battlefield.
the next day,
The army set up camp again. During this period, the Chu army tried to make a surprise attack, but they were all blocked.
After another two days, the situation finally became clear.
The savage army entered a "preparing to attack the city" posture, and the Chu people finally shrank their forces into the city. The offensive and defensive sides finally took their positions, and the strong wind smoothed out all the noise.
However, in addition to the defense of the ancient Yue City wall, the Chu people built many military fortresses as supplements to form a complete defense system. Everything seemed to be the same as what Nian Yao did north of Zhennanguan.
Therefore, in the following days, the Savage Army began to focus on attacking the military stronghold outside Guyue City.
The battle was not going very smoothly, but it was not very difficult either. Both sides suffered casualties that were acceptable to both sides, and both the attacking and defensive sides were able to accept the speed of their attacks and losses.
In short, the atmosphere of this battlefield is a bit too... natural.
It is deserved, and people ignore the names of the coaches of both sides.
One was a barbarian king who was once famous in the Three Jin Dynasties;
One is the only remaining Chu Zhuguo in the world;
Just like two masters in chess, when they started playing, the wonderful showdown that the people around them were expecting, none of the divine moves appeared. Instead, it was like two beginners, starting one by one according to the description on the chess record. Play boring chess.
This time,
Another half month.
The savage army has cleared less than half of the military stronghold outside Guyue City.
At the same time, we began to build some siege equipment and made preparations to attack the city after clearing the outside;
The Chu army on the Guyue City side seemed to have started mobilizing at a high frequency;
Obviously, the Chu army did not believe that the barbarian army would really plan to attack the city next. What they were worried about was that the barbarian army would make a false shot and suddenly bypass Guyue City and rush southward.
……
Xie Zhuyang was sitting on the city wall drinking tea at this time, with two women, one big and one small, standing beside him.
"Are you two going to stay here forever?" Xie Zhuyang asked with a smile.
The girl asked, "Then shall I leave?"
"Aren't you two always wanting to find my son? You can definitely go find him. With you two here, I, as a father, can rest assured."
"What if after we go, he asks us to come back to protect his old father?"
Xie Zhuyang smiled kindly,
road;
"Don't worry, my son is not that filial."
"We want to stay and see again," the girl said.
"Okay." Xie Zhuyang didn't care.
"You guys should be the same sect, right?"
"more or less."
"There should be quite a few masters in the sect, right?"
"more or less."
Xie Zhuyang nodded and said: "Unfortunately, the general trend of the world cannot be determined by a small group of so-called experts."
The girl did not refute, but nodded:
"more or less."
The woman reached out and examined the girl's mouth.
The girl dodged and said, "My mouth is not stiff."
At this moment, Xie Zhuyang poured down the cup of tea in his hand.
Slowly said:
"Okay."
……
In the Savage Army Commander's tent, Gou Moli had just arranged a row of porcelain dolls of decreasing sizes.
"I think if he knew that you collected his daughter's toys, your fate would be very miserable."
The Sword Master remembered how sickly Gou Moli was holding that embroidered shoe.
"Hey." Gou Moli smiled, "This was given to me by the prince, not something I kept privately."
at this time,
A series of emergency military reports came, like a pot of water boiling in an instant!
"Report!!!!!!"
"Commander, please report from the rear that our army's grain and fodder have been intercepted from behind!"
"Report!!!!!!"
"Commander, there are traces of the Chu army due east!"
"Commander, there are traces of Chu troops due west!"
"Report!!!......"
One after another, urgent military information came almost like covering your face,
Gou Moli seemed not to hear it at all and showed no emotional reaction at all.
but,
If there is a military situation, he will put a porcelain doll back.
Wait until night falls,
All the dolls are set up, but the military situation outside is still as hot as ever.
Gou Moli placed a set of porcelain dolls on his head and tried his best to maintain balance;
then,
Clap your hands,
"Snapped!"
laughed:
"Fun."
