Episode 10 Chapter 56
Chapter 56
After the discussion, Shangguan Yuanrang planned to rest in Tia City for half a day, leave the city that night, break out of the siege, and return to the Fengjun camp TXT download.
Of course, Tia hoped that he would go back early, but they only made some efforts to persuade him to stay.
After lunch, Kevin Depardieu came specifically to see Shangguan Yuanrang and took him to the Sun Temple to pray for blessings from the Sun God.
Regarding the gods and ghosts, Shangguan Yuanrang was deeply influenced by Tang Yin and did not believe in the existence of gods and ghosts at all. He did not even believe in the gods of Feng Kingdom, let alone the gods of Tia? However, Kevin Depardieu was very insistent and repeatedly asked him to go, saying that receiving the blessing of the Sun God would make his breakthrough smoother.
Although Shangguan Yuanrang didn't believe it, he still wanted to see the tallest building in Tia City, so he nodded in agreement. Kevin Depardieu did not lead Shangguan Yuanrang to the top of the temple. He did not even go up the steps. He just knelt down on the lowest floor of the temple to pray for blessings. In fact, not to mention Shangguan Yuanrang, even Kevin Depardieu did not dare to enter the temple without the permission of the high priest. In the minds of the Thians, the temple is a more sacred place than the palace.
Since Shangguan Yuanrang didn't believe in the existence of the sun god at all, he was not as pious as Kevin Depardieu, nor did he kneel down, raise his head, look around, and make tut-tutting sounds of admiration from time to time.
Soon, his eyes were attracted by a white spot on the top of the temple. The temple was thirty meters high, and it was too far away. Shangguan Yuanrang could only see that it was a man in white, but he couldn't see clearly what he looked like. He subconsciously asked: "Who is that?"
Kevin Depardieu and the translator next to him both looked up. After just one glance, they immediately lowered their heads and whispered: "That's the priest."
Tia practiced the unity of politics and religion, and political power and theocracy ruled the country together. People believed that the king was the ruler chosen by God, the priest was the spokesperson of God, and the high priest was the closest servant of God. In Theia, the status of priests is extremely high, especially the high priest. Her opinions can even influence the national policy of the entire country. Interestingly, all the priests in Theia are women. It may be precisely because of this that the reason why Theia is Asia's political power and divine power are relatively stable, and there will not be too fierce contradictions and conflicts between them. After all, women's rights are much smaller than those of men.
Shangguan Yuanrang looked at the ‘white dot’ standing at the top of the temple and muttered with a smile: “What a high-ranking priest! "
Hearing the contempt in his tone, the translator shrank in fear and did not dare to translate his words.
Late that night, under the cover of darkness, Tia City quietly lowered the suspension bridge, opened the city gate, put the official yuan on and let them out of the city. Shangguan Yuanrang was still dressed as Du Jijun. He made corresponding preparations in advance, entangled the horse's mouth and wrapped the horse's hooves, and silently approached Du Jijun's company camp.
During the day, Du Jijun couldn't stop him when he forced his way into the company camp. It was even easier to break through at night. In less than half an hour, Shangguan Yuanrang cut his way through the company camp and forced his way through. After successfully breaking through the company camp, Du Jijun's pursuers caused him a lot of trouble. Shangguan Yuanrang retreated while fighting. Seeing that he could not get rid of the enemy, he decisively abandoned the road and entered the dense forest beside the road to meet Du Ji. The army circled around.
In the end, he gave up his horse and used it to lure the enemy away, and then he escaped successfully.
Fortunately, there was frequent correspondence between the Duji company camp and the Duji army in Val town. Duji messengers on horseback often passed by on the road. Shangguan Yuanrang killed a messenger, captured his horse, and hurried back to Fengjun. Camp.
Shangguan Yuanrang's trip to Tia City went quickly and returned quickly. It only took less than three days to go back and forth.
When he learned that he had returned to the camp, Liang Qi personally went out to pick him up and brought Shangguan Yuanrang back to the Chinese army's tent. He asked him to give him tea and water, and to prepare food for him.
Shangguan Yuanrang was not polite. While eating and drinking, he told Liang Qi about the situation in Tia City.
He didn't have any unnecessary nonsense, nor did he talk about the incredible wonders in Tia City. He went straight to the point and explained the situation of the Tia army he saw.
When Liang Qi heard that Tiya's army only had 20,000 people, he frowned and said quietly: "Only more than 20,000 people..."
Shangguan Yuanrang said seriously: "Although there are more than 20,000 people, the individual combat power of the Tiya army is not weak, and is even stronger than our army. I have tried it. When I attacked without using spiritual weapons, seven or eight soldiers The soldiers of Tia asked me to use all their strength."
"Oh?" Liang Qi smiled, shook his head and said, "That must be because Yuan Rang was too trusting at first."
This is true. Shangguan Yuanrang did not refute, but asked: "Liang Qi, do you think our army can directly rush into Tia City?"
Liang Qi rubbed his chin and murmured: "Individual soldiers are powerful, but the overall strength is small. If you charge directly, the risk is very high!" Liang Qi does not lack adventurous spirit, but it depends on the situation. If the situation dictates, He would take the risk, but right now, he doesn't feel the need to.
Shangguan Yuanrang was different from what he thought. He said: "It is better to decide this battle quickly."
"Why did Yuan Rang say that?"
"The king has ordered our army to defeat the enemy's main force as soon as possible. In addition, the soldiers have been away from the capital for a long time. They have been stationed in Tongmen for more than a month. Now they have been away from the capital for more than two months. If we continue to fight with the enemy, we are afraid that the soldiers They will feel homesick, which will affect the combat effectiveness of our army, especially the new recruits in the army.”
Liang Qi nodded while listening. He had to admit that what Shangguan Yuan Rang said was reasonable. He asked: "Yuan Rang, in your opinion, our army rushed into Tia City and cooperated with Tia army inside and outside. Did we defeat the enemy?" possible?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanrang said straightforwardly without even thinking about it: "The chance of success is at least 60%."
Now Shangguan Yuanrang can be regarded as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time." Liang Qi still attached great importance to his judgment. After hearing what he said, Liang Qi was thoughtful, thought about it for a long time, and said slowly: "60% winning rate One battle is already possible, not to mention Yuan Rang is still there, the winning rate should be increased by 20%. "
Shangguan Yuanrang smiled proudly and said: "Du Ji's army is nothing more than that. Du Ji's company and camp, I can come and go as I please. Taking the enemy commander's head is like picking up an item from a bag!"
Liang Qi looked at Shangguan Yuan Rang with joy and said, "Okay, just as Yuan Rang wished, our army stormed into Tia City!" As he spoke, he turned to Bai Yong and said, "General Bai!"
"The general is here!"
"Send a message to General Ziying and Lord Zhang, asking them to dispatch 50,000 Sky Eagle troops to Tia. They only need to station themselves outside the town of Vaal. There is no need to fight the enemy." Best~w}
Bai Yong took a breath and whispered: "General, your Majesty has not mobilized the Sky Eagle Army to join the battle!"
Liang Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "The general is outside, and your orders are not accepted. This time our army rushes into Tia City, the risk is very high. With 50,000 Sky Eagle troops to contain the enemy forces in Var Town, our army's logistics supplies can be guaranteed. After the war, our army can turn around and join forces with the Sky Eagle Army to wipe out the 30,000 enemy troops in Val Town, killing two birds with one stone. Why not?"
"But... General Ziying and Master Zhang may not agree!"
"Ziying has always been bold, straightforward, and devoted to the country. As long as he knows that sending troops will be beneficial to the war situation, he will definitely send troops to reinforce. As for Zhang Xin, for a villain, there is nothing to worry about. Our army did not capture it from Du Ji's army. A lot of loot? Just pick some and give them to him," Liang Qi said confidently.
Bai Yong thought for a while, sighed softly, and said, "Yes! The general understands."
Liang Qi worriedly warned: "Send a smart, capable and eloquent person back to the country."
"Yes! General!" Bai Yong stepped in and ordered.
Shangguan Yuanrang said: "Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer. From Liangzhou to Tia, even if we travel a hundred miles a day, it will take several days to arrive."
Liang Qi lowered his head, clicked on the sketch on the table, and sighed softly: "We don't know how many days it will take to defeat the Duji company camp!"
The spies of Tianyan and Diwang have drawn a rough sketch of the Duki company. From the sketch, it can be seen that the commander of the Duki army, Remy Azabao, is by no means an ordinary person. The company and camp are solid and interlocking. With both offense and defense, it is not easy to break through this large circular company camp.
It is easy for Shangguan Yuanrang to break into the Duji company camp, but the prerequisite is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared. How can the Sanshui Army's march of 100,000 people achieve this? What's more, Du Ji's army already has superior strength and is on the defensive. Liang Qi is not as optimistic about this battle as Shangguan Yuan Rang. Being unoptimistic does not mean that he has no confidence in winning. Liang Qi finally decided to bypass Vaal Town and directly attack the main force of Du Ji's army.
The Sanshui Army's strategy of avoiding Val Town and heading straight for Tia City was quite beyond the expectations of Remy Azabao, the commander of the Duki Army. In his view, the Feng Army's tactics were too bold and did not take into account future worries. This was completely It is a life-or-death tactic of failure or failure. After hearing about the movements of the Feng Army, many generals of the Duji Army proposed to Remi Azabao to take the initiative and attack the Feng Army from front to back with the soldiers of Vaal Town.
Remi Azabao did not accept his subordinate's proposal. In his opinion, the morale of the Feng Army was now at a high level, and it would be unwise to take the initiative. Relying on a strong camp to resist the Feng Army was a good strategy. He ordered the entire army to stand still and defend the camp. At the same time, he made certain adjustments to the deployment of troops, dividing the Duji troops in the company camp to the east and west.
Three days later, the Sanshui Army approached the Duji Army camp.
Liang Qi did not immediately order an attack, but instead set up his own camp on the east side of Du Jijun's company camp and rested for a day. The next day, the main force of the Sanshui Army left the camp and formed a battle formation two miles away from Du Jijun's company camp. , put into an offensive posture.
Du Ji's army had no intention of going to war. The camp gate was closed tightly and the whole army huddled and defended.
According to the original agreement, the Sanshui Army beat the war drums. The drums were thunderous and the roar was deafening. It was sending a signal to Tia City, telling the Tia Army in the city to prepare to leave the city and attack the east camp of Duji Army with their own side.
At the same time as the drums sounded, the Sanshui Army moved forward as a whole, spreading out square formations, echoing from left to right, and from front to back to advance.
At this time, the walls of Duji Army's camp were filled with soldiers of Duji Army. Looking at the overwhelming Feng Army outside the camp, people's faces were not very good-looking. This was the first time they had seen this since they entered Tia. Encountering so many enemy troops, Tia is small and outnumbered, and the total military strength of the country is not as large as the strength of a legion of the Sanshui Army.
