Chapter 1081 Qimu City
The next day, early in the morning!
Ning Chen's 110,000 troops crossed Wangyue City and headed straight for Qimu City.
On the top of the city, Jin Dongxing watched the army go away.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. No matter whether Daxuan succeeds or fails this time, Nanyue will blame me, Gao Liguo.
Since we can't get any benefit, why should we lend the passage to Ning Chen?"
Jin Dongxing's confidant asked puzzled.
Jin Dongxing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Because we can afford to offend Nanyue, but we can't offend Daxuan, or to be more precise, we can't offend Ning Chen."
The confidant looked puzzled.
Jin Dongxing explained: "Over the years, we have had repeated conflicts with South Vietnam, but we have held on.
But if we have conflicts with Daxuan, it will be difficult to hold on.
Even if Ning Chen cannot be a friend, it is better not to be an enemy.
We lend the road to Daxuan. If South Vietnam attacks, we can ask Daxuan for help... A big country has the demeanor of a big country and will definitely come to help us.
So, lending the road to Daxuan has more advantages than disadvantages.
The most important thing is that after this battle, South Vietnam may not be able to cause trouble for my Gaoli Kingdom."
The confidant nodded, not quite understanding.
......
Ning Chen marched all the way.
Seven days later, the army stopped to rest.
In the tent, Ning Chen was looking through the map.
Outside the tent, Yuan Long asked for a meeting.
"Come in!"
The curtain was opened, and Yuan Long strode in, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness!"
"No need to be polite, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Yuan Long nodded and said, "Your Highness, our people found a scout from South Vietnam."
Ning Chen was shocked and frowned and asked, "We are still two days away from Qimu City. Why would South Vietnam send scouts so far?
Have our actions been exposed?"
Yuan Long shook his head and said, "I don't know if you want to capture a South Vietnamese scout for interrogation?"
Ning Chen said, "You mean, the South Vietnamese scouts haven't discovered us yet?"
Yuan Long said, "No, we have telescopes, but they don't."
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Okay, you and Feng Qizhen take a few people and capture a tongue for interrogation.
Leave the interrogation to Feng Qizhen, he is a professional."
Yuan Long bowed and accepted the order, "I obey your order!" Then he turned and left the tent.
Ning Chen waited in the tent for about an hour.
Yuan Long and Feng Qizhen came back.
Ning Chen waved his hand to stop the two from saluting and asked, "How is it?"
Yuan Long said, "The interrogation is clear, our actions have not been exposed... The reason why South Vietnam sent scouts so far is because this is the border between the two countries, and South Vietnam is defending against Gaoli Kingdom."
Ning Chen frowned slightly, "Jin Dongxing actually concealed this from the king."
Feng Qizhen said, "You are wronging Jin Dongxing. South Vietnam's scouts would not be sent so far before.
Now it is because Qimu City is short of troops and worried about Gaoli Kingdom's sneak attack, so scouts are sent so far."
Ning Chen roughly understood, "It is because Kang Luo took away a lot of troops, resulting in a shortage of troops in Qimu City, so we are extra cautious."
Feng Qizhen nodded, "That's the case."
Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Yuan Long, select a group of good soldiers from Ning'an Army, go ahead, and secretly clean up South Vietnam's scouts, don't delay our march."
"Yes, I will do it right away!"
Yuan Long retreated After going out, Feng Qizheng came over and asked in a low voice, "Ning Chen, do you think Xiaoyue has me in her heart?"
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"
Feng Qizheng looked distressed and said, "Since we slept together last time when we were drunk, Miss Yue's attitude towards me has changed drastically. She didn't refute when I said she was my woman, but she just wouldn't let me get into her bed.
What do you think she thinks? I can feel that she has me in her heart, but why doesn't she let me sleep with her?"
Ning Chen's mouth twitched fiercely for a few times, and he raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his head, "Did you arrange three matchmakers and six betrothals? Did you marry her home in a sedan chair? You only know how to sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep in your head, and sooner or later you will shoot your brain out."
Feng Qizheng scratched his head, counting on his fingers and said, "But back then, Yudie, Zisu, and now Miss Xiao...didn't you sleep with them first and then marry them home?"
Ning Chen opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment, and he was speechless.
He slapped Feng Qizhen on the head, "How can it be the same? Miss Yue is a general of the Ning'an Army, a killer on the battlefield... Now she is on the way to the war. If she accidentally gets pregnant, she can't go to the battlefield with the baby, right?"
Feng Qizhen nodded slightly, "That makes sense!"
Ning Chen glared at the fool, "Go back and rest quickly, the army will set off in two hours!"
Two hours later, the army set off.
Two days later, Ning Chen's army was only ten miles away from Qimu City.
The Nanyue scouts along the way were dealt with in advance by the Ning'an Army.
Ning Chen ordered the army to take time to rest.
At midnight tonight, attack Qimu City.
If the Nanyue scouts do not go back for a long time, it will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance.
Today's South Vietnam is different from the past.
Now South Vietnam has explosive packs.
If they use catapults to project explosive packs, it will become difficult for them to attack the city.
So, they must take the enemy by surprise and break through the city gate in one fell swoop when the other party is not prepared.
In the tent, Ning Chen was studying the map.
His brows were furrowed. This Qimu City was not easy to attack.
Because there was a moat in front of the city gate.
Once the city gate is forcibly bombarded with artillery, the drawbridge will inevitably be blown up together.
Without the drawbridge, they cannot enter the city.
Therefore, we must first find a way to trick them into lowering the drawbridge, and then bombard the city gate.
"Yuan Long, are the military uniforms of the South Vietnamese scouts still there?"
Yuan Long nodded, "It's preserved."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Great, you pick a smart one, put on the clothes of the South Vietnamese scouts, and trick Qimu City into lowering the drawbridge.
Then, use explosives to blow up the drawbridge chain.
Once the drawbridge falls, Lei An will lead people to bombard the tower with hot air balloons, and they must not let them set up catapults.
Yuan Long led people to bombard the city gate.
Once the city gate is breached, Ning An Army and Mo Dao Army will enter the city first."
Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "After entering the city, you will fight together, don't separate... buy time for the Southern Border Army to enter the city."
Because the city gate with a drawbridge is generally narrow, it will take a long time for the 110,000 troops to rush into the city.
There are 50,000 Nanyue troops in the city, so the Ning'an army cannot be separated to avoid being defeated one by one.
The main role of the Ning'an army is to dig a hole in the formation, rush through the enemy army, break the enemy's formation, and create conditions for the rear army.
But if the southern army can't enter the city, you rush through the enemy army, that's courting death.
Yuan Long and his men said in unison: "I get the order!"
Ning Chen arranged the action in detail, and then said: "There are still three hours before the lishi, let the soldiers take the time to rest, and you should also have a good rest... Don't forget to send out scouts to pay attention to the opponent's movements, so as not to be discovered by Nanyue at the last step and fail."
"Yes!"
