Episode 10 Chapter 58

Chapter 58

After a big battle, the Sanshui Army suffered thousands of casualties, but failed to achieve any results. As for Tia, Kevin Depardi led his army back to the city to rescue, and it took a lot of effort to kill Tia. The Du Jijun who entered the city pushed out of the city. Although the casualties were not large, there were thousands of civilians killed and injured.

This battle, whether it was against the Sanshui Army or Tia, was quite irritating.

When Shangguan Yuanrang returned to the camp, he didn't even take a rest. He rushed into the Chinese army tent with a three-pointed two-edged sword and asked Liang Qi why he wanted to withdraw his troops. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to eat people, Bai Yong could only stand up and act as the peacemaker between him and Liang Qi, stopped Shangguan Yuanrang, and explained to him in detail the reasons for his side's withdrawal.

After Shangguan Yuanrang heard this, he slammed the knife on the ground angrily, sat down, gasped and cursed: "F*ck, how did Du Jijun know that we would cooperate with Tiya's army inside and outside? You just want to attack Tia City when the Tia army leaves the city!"

Bai Yong remained silent, speechless. At this time, Liang Qi, who had kept his eyes closed and said nothing, opened his eyes and said, "This should have been planned by Remy Azabao. Our army came to rescue the siege, and the trapped Tiya army took advantage of the situation to attack. This did not Not such an unexpected tactic.”

After looking at him, Shangguan Yuanrang snorted angrily and did not answer. Now he didn't even know who he was angry with. In short, this battle was too suffocating.

Liang Qi said quietly: "Just now, I carefully thought about Du Jijun's tactics twice, and I have to admit that their tactics are the best way to break the internal and external cooperation between our army and Tia's army, and our army and Tia's army are not at all There is no way to deal with it.”

Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that Lei Abao, the commander of the Du Ji Army, more cunning than you?"

Liang Qili was happy and did not answer Shangguan Yuanrang's question. He whispered: "I'm afraid that after this battle, the Tiya army will not dare to leave the city to fight easily. We can only rely on ourselves to fight against Du Ji's army."

Shangguan Yuanrang also felt this. Now he admired Liang Qi's original wisdom so much that he recruited the Sky Eagle Army as backup before marching to Tia City. Thinking of the Sky Eagle Army, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Liang Qi, Du Jijun doesn't know that we have backup from the Sky Eagle Army."

Stunned by his meaningless words, Liang Qi blinked and looked at Shangguan Yuanrang in confusion.

Shangguan Yuanrang said: "According to what you said, Commander Du Ji's army must be a man who is very good at using troops. He must also be able to deduce that it is extremely risky for our army to bypass Var Town and rush into Tia City, and we will lose our logistics. For supplies, I think he will join forces with the Duji Army in Vaal Town to attack our army in turn, but in fact, our army still has the Sky Eagle Army as backup and is not afraid of his attack..." As he spoke, Shangguan Yuanrang His thoughts were confused first. He patted his head, scratched his hair, and said, "Anyway, you are better at using troops than me. I think there is a fighting opportunity in this. Liang Qi, what do you think?"

Liang Qi squinted at Shangguan Yuan Rang and said nothing for a long time. Seeing this, Shangguan Yuanrang waved his hand impatiently and muttered: "Yes, yes, yes! I didn't say anything!"

"No! I think what Yuan Rang said is reasonable." Liang Qi was still staring at him. After a while, he suddenly laughed and praised: "Yuan Rang's sense of smell for fighters is far better than For me!”

Hearing this, all the generals in the Chinese military tent looked at each other and became energetic. They stood up in unison and gathered around the commander's case, including Shangguan Yuanrang.

"Liang Qi, what riddle are you trying to solve? Tell me what you thought of?" Shangguan Yuanrang asked.

"Thank you Yuan Jing for reminding me." Liang Qi said seriously: "You are right, our army asked the Sky Eagle Army for reinforcements. Even the king didn't know about this, and Du Jijun was even less likely to know. Now, 50,000 The reinforcements of the Sky Eagle Army can be regarded as a surprise force." After a pause, he pointed at the map and said: "Our army has taken the initiative to attack, and its morale is strong. Du Ji's army does not dare to leave the camp easily to fight, but if it is delayed any longer. In the past few days, our army has been unable to attack for a long time, its morale is gradually weakening, and its food and fodder are running low. At this time, Du Ji's army will definitely take the initiative to ask for a fight and attack with all its strength. At that time, our army will be difficult to resist. As long as our army retreats, the town of Var will be destroyed. Du Ji's army will also come out to intercept. When the time comes, Du Ji's army will form a pincer attack, and our army will be defeated. But with 50,000 Skyhawk troops as backup, the battle situation will be different. Our army can definitely take the lead. Annihilate the enemy forces in Val Town, then turn back and defeat the main force of Duji's army together!"

The generals nodded while listening. Shangguan Yuanrang frowned and said, "You have been wordy for a long time, but you haven't made it clear how our army should fight now, whether to fight or to withdraw!"

"Of course it's a battle!"

"Okay! Then I'll go rest first and go out to fight early tomorrow morning!" Shangguan Yuanrang wiped the sweat on his face carelessly, turned around and walked out.

Liang Qi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Yuan Rang, please listen to what I have to say! The battle I'm talking about is that our army will not retreat. We will hold off Du Ji's army here, but we must be ready to fight at any time."

Seeing Shangguan Yuanrang raising his eyebrows and showing a look of dissatisfaction, Liang Qi had no choice but to explain patiently: "Du Jijun most hopes that the war will drag on and consume our army's food and grass. Then we will do as he wishes. Keep fighting with him, and when the time is right, our army will retreat and attract the enemy to attack. "

"So, then tomorrow...there will be nothing to do?"

Liang Qixiao, the thief, said: "Although it is necessary to consume, it cannot be seen by Du Jijun, so our army cannot be idle." He looked around the generals and said seriously: "Pass the order, tomorrow, the first arrival The 5th Corps strictly guarded the camp, and the 6th to 10th Corps all went to quarry and cut wood, making Du Jijun think that we were preparing for a big war! "

The generals were stunned for a moment, then laughed, and all stepped in to salute, saying in unison: "General, I obey!"

Shangguan Yuanrang said: "To confuse the enemy, it is not necessary to send brothers from five regiments to do manual labor, right?"

Liang Qi said sternly: "I want my brothers to quarry and cut wood not just to confuse the opponent. In the coming battle, our army will consume a lot of crossbow arrows and stone bullets. It is always necessary to reserve more." After a pause. , and he said to the generals: "By the way, now our army has to control the consumption of food and grass. The brothers who stay in the camp have two meals a day, and the weight of each meal is reduced by 30%. The brothers who go out to work have three meals as usual, but not more. ”

The generals looked at each other, waited for a while, and then responded in unison: "Yes! General!"

That night, the spies reported that the reinforcements of the Sky Eagle Army had left Liangzhou and were on their way to Tia. Since the Sky Eagle Army did not bring a large amount of baggage and was traveling lightly, the marching speed would be faster and they would arrive in about five days. Vaal town. As for the general who commanded the reinforcements, it was Guan Tang, the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army.

When they heard that it was Guan Tang who was leading the army, the generals of the Sanshui Army began to complain, wondering who Ziying sent was not good, why did he send this unlucky guy here. It's not that everyone has deep conflicts with Guantang, but because Guantang is notoriously unlucky. When Tang Yin transferred him from the commander of the New Army to the deputy commander of the Sky Eagle Army, he said that there was no problem with Guantang's ability. , but he is too unlucky to be the commander-in-chief of an army. In the Feng army, Guantang also received the nickname "General who always loses".

Liang Qi could understand Ziying's intention. He sent Guan Tang here because he must have concluded that he could win this battle and asked Guan Tang to come and make some contributions. After all, the reputation of a general who is often defeated is not a good one. The deputy commander-in-chief of the army was unable to convince the public without telling him. Guan Tang himself was embarrassed, and Ziying took this opportunity to help him.

What a blessing it is to be able to work with someone like Ziying! Liang Qi sighed in his heart.

Knowing the itinerary of the reinforcements, Liang Qi felt more confident and sent orders to the rear to transport grain and grass. The amount of grain and grass did not matter, but the lineup must be large. Du Ji's army in Var Town was lured to fight. As long as he saw Du Ji's army coming, There is no need to resist, just abandon the food and run away.

The next day, in accordance with Liang Qi's military orders, the Sanshui Army began to leave the camp to quarry stone and cut wood with great fanfare. The country of Tia is covered with mountains and forests, so quarrying and logging are not difficult. Such a large-scale move by the Sanshui Army could not be hidden from the eyes of Du Jijun. Soon, the news spread to Du Jijun's company camp.

Today, neither the Feng Army nor the Tia Army will attack, but the atmosphere in the Duji military camp is still solemn. Knowing that the Feng Army has begun quarrying and logging on a large scale, Du Ji's generals are all very nervous. They gather in the camp, speculating that the Feng Army may take some measures. A large-scale storm, and many large attack weapons will be used.

Remi Azabao was not as worried as everyone else. Instead, he laughed loudly and asked everyone: "What does it mean that Fengjun is quarrying rocks and logging trees now?"

Everyone was confused and shook their heads.

"It shows that the Feng Army underestimated the enemy and was not well prepared. It will take at least a few days until they are ready. By then, the Feng Army will have already been running out of food and grass. Without them attacking, our army will take the initiative to attack!" Lei Mi Azabao said with a confident smile.

"But... what if food and grass are delivered from behind by the wind army?" A general said worriedly.

"If that's the case, even if Ed is my brother, I will punish him severely!" Remy Azabao said sternly, suppressing his smile. Now Vaal Town is blocking the supply line of the Feng Army. If food and grass are delivered, Ed Azabao, who is stationed in Vaal Town, will naturally not be able to escape the blame.

When he said this, the generals had nothing to say. At this time, someone proposed to take advantage of the current opportunity to storm the city of Tia. Remi Azabao was too lazy to answer such a suggestion. He only said coldly: "The whole army is on hold." He said no more.

As Shangguan Yuanrang said, Remy Azabao is very familiar with the current situation of the Sanshui Army and is also well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Sanshui Army. However, the only thing he missed was the 50,000 reinforcements behind the Sanshui Army. , these 50,000 Skyhawk troops have also become the key to the battle situation of both sides.

Strictly speaking, this is not Remy Azabao's mistake, but Du Ji's intelligence mistake. Du Ji's spy in Feng Guo ignored the Ningdi side and kept a close eye on Yancheng and the Feng Army in Yancheng. Since the Central Army did not mobilize, Du Ji believed that there was no support behind the Sanshui Army.

The omission of intelligence often directly determines the success or failure of a war.
