Chapter 169 cut off its waist
There is a small city in the hinterland of the southern part of Anling County called Ningwu Pass, which is a military town with purely militarized control. This city has one of the largest granaries in the southern part of Anling County and is one of the largest logistics rotation sites on the Ganshui Pass line.
It is located on a major transportation road and has no wars all year round. The climate is pleasant, and the people around the villages and towns are quite wealthy. Over time, it has become one of the most longed for retirement places for officers at all levels of the Han family.
On this day and night, the sky was cloudy and thick clouds blocked the moon tightly. Except for the little light that the soldiers patrolling on the city walls could only provide by holding torches, it was really dark and silent to the extreme.
When it was approaching the early morning, the soldiers on the turn had found some corners to shelter from the wind, crowded together in groups of three or five, and some of them could just cover a thin quilt with two or three people so that they could also warm up and have a good sleep.
Only the unlucky guy who was on the turn of those beacon towers did not have such luck. The Ningwu Pass General was a very easy-to-talk person on weekdays, but recently he suddenly ordered the rotating soldiers on the beacon tower to not close their eyes all night, and the soldiers did not have the courage to disobey.
Tonight, the largest beacon tower on duty in the east of Ningwu Pass was a team of middle-aged soldiers with an average age of about thirty or forty years. The leader was carrying the rank of ten husbands, but a young man was sitting around a bunch of bonfires that were about to be burned all night long. He could also wear a fur in addition to his armor. Obviously, his family was from an extraordinary family. "I tell you, my brother wrote to me, saying that there was another war on the Ganshui Pass on the east side. This time, it was not as small as usual. Maybe he would have to fight with Yongchang County with real swords and guns!"
A veteran said carelessly, "Mr. Xiao Wang, if you really want to fight, your brother will have a chance to be promoted again? When will it be more peaceful? If you promote your elder brother and go to Ganshuiguan to enjoy your happiness, remember to bring us loyal friends with you."
The middle-aged soldiers all started to make excitement with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the young ten-master stretched out a finger and shrewd his lips. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm dying. What I said today is not a joke with you. There is really something wrong with Ganshuiguan. Even my brother's letter has left more room for writing. Obviously, I'm not sure. Don't blame me for not telling you. When we really get to the front line, we'd better have a headache and fever, otherwise if we really go, we might be back with no life!"
The veteran who spoke before still looked hip-smiling, holding a chicken leg in his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Xiao Wang, we just want to follow you. Besides, Ningwu Pass is very good. It is delicious and delicious to guard Ningwu Cang. We are not that young boy in our teens and twenty years old, and we don't want to go to the front line to make military achievements. In short, we will not have a chance with the officer in our life."
The young ten-man nodded, "If you work as a soldier, if you are a civilian and cannot become a cultivator, you can really put off your thoughts as soon as possible..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and looked west, and then muttered to himself, "Is it because I misread..."
"What did Lord Xiao Wang misread?" asked the veteran Youzi.
The young ten-master stared at a beacon tower in the distance and frowned, "I seemed to have seen some fires on the beacon tower on the other side of the city wall..."
"Hi," said the veteran Youzi, "maybe it was the torch of the patrol soldiers."
"Impossible, the torches of the patrol soldiers should not be so bright, no!" He ran to the beacon tower next to the wall of the beacon tower and looked in the other direction. The fire was also lit there, but it was destroyed before long. "No! It was an enemy attack!! Hurry up, burn the beacon fire!"
Several middle-aged soldiers quickly took torches from the bonfire and rushed into the beacon tower. After a while, the huge flames in the beacon tower soared into the sky, making the dark night a little red. Then the sound of gongs and drums spread from the military camp closest to the beacon tower, and the entire Ningwu Pass woke up!
The young ten-master looked around quickly and was about to greet a few middle-aged soldiers to go down the beacon tower, when a red light shot from the city wall not far away, it fell on the beacon tower in an instant. The huge beacon tower was cut off in half apart with the shocking explosion. The broken stone wall fell down the city wall with the newly ignited beacon fire and was destroyed!!
The young ten-man looked at the scene in front of him, and after a while, he remembered to turn around and escape, but was slashed by a young man who had approached him at some point...
The young man threw his sword and spat hard at the corpse of the young ten-master, "There were two beacon towers at such a close distance. Just hide the beacon tower at the main general's home! A group of cowards!"
"Feng Yang, go and open the city gate quickly and order the entire army to raid. At this time, it will take some time for the defenders in the city to prepare for the camp," a tall figure fell beside the young man, and his eyes were extremely calm when he held a wide long sword in his hand.
"Abide by the general's order!" The young man turned over and jumped down from the city wall. After a while, he opened the city gate. The elite soldiers who were quietly approaching outside the city rushed into the city one by one. After a while, the young man returned to the general's side, "General, the news of today's battle is probably impossible to hide!"
The general was naturally Chen Jingzhi. He didn't care about the words of the young man, but just said casually, "Although the time we entered the hinterland of Anling County was very abrupt, and we marched all the way and broke the city very quickly, it was difficult to hide all traces. Now that we have arrived at Ningwu Pass, we can't hide it. We didn't want to hide it for a lifetime."
The young man said oh, and stood beside Chen Jingzhi and watched the situation in the city with him. At this time, the sky was already a little dawn, and the number of Cang Yan soldiers who were attacking the city was far more than that of the defenders. Soon he controlled several important areas in the city. "General, I have a question and I wonder if I can help you solve your doubts?"
Chen Jingzhi's way, "talk."
The young man sorted out his thoughts and asked, "The military strategy should not be separated from the rear. Now we have plunged into the hinterland of Anling County and dared to rush around. It is said that there are enemies on all sides. A few days ago, Uncle Feng did not return news. The Western Army of Anling County has discovered our traces and attacked Nancheng head-on. If the troops in Ganshui Pass and other areas in the southern part of Anling County are integrated by Han Feng, would we become turtles in the jar?"
"What a shitty turtle in the jar," Chen Jingzhi looked back at the young man and reached out to his forehead and shot it hard, then turned his eyes to the city again. "Nancheng is one of the most important bases of the Han Feng lineage. Do you think that if the old man from the Anling Western Army could snatch Nancheng from our hands, he would not be happy to do that? He would pile up 10,000 corpses under the Nancheng walls. Why did he withdraw his troops? First, it was Li Mu's cavalry who came to help in time, and second, it was Xiyi who detained the border and could not allow him to invest too much force in the direction of Nancheng. If he failed to hit a blow, he would have to go back in shame."
When the young man heard the word "Western Yi", his eyelids couldn't help but jump.
"As long as the old man's main force in the Western Army of Anling County has no time to look east, the military strength of Roucheng in the northern part of Anling County is also affected by the situation in Chuancheng. In the short term, no one can stop our crossing river from lying in the hinterland of the southern part of Anling County. Unless Han Feng is willing to give up Ganshui Pass to return to help, but now you don't know that in the latest battle report, the two cities of Tongcang and Zhengcang are already in the hands of our county, Han Feng took advantage of the Yongchang Northern Army to evacuate.
Eight thousand elites were sent to Liangcang City in a blank space, and now they are trapped by General Zhao Wuji and Zhao. Do you think Han Feng is capable of returning to the rescue? Even if he wants to give up Ganshui Pass, he can't give up the eight thousand elites in Liangcang City. Even if he really gives up the eight thousand elites to return to the southern part of Anling County, we still have enough space and geographical advantages to deal with him," Chen Jingzhi pointed to the granaries of all sizes in the city and said, "Don't forget that we are not the ones who are short of food now."
He put his hands on his back and said in a deep voice, "Now the southern part of Anling County is ours. I have food and soldiers to deploy defenses based on a number of pass cities, and then erode Han Feng's hinterland and finally block him in the narrow and long line of Ganshui Pass. At that time, there will be General Zhao's Ganyuan army east of Ganshui Pass, and our Cangyan army west of Ganshui Pass. Even if his Ganshui Pass is still solid, what if he is short of money, food and retreat, how much can he last? You say that Han Feng is alone, but now Han Feng is really an isolated army with no way forward."
The young man nodded and looked at the battle situation in the city that was about to end, and for a moment he was full of heroism.
But he didn't see that, in the place where his sight was out of reach, Chen Jingzhi's face looked solemn and his brows were furrowed.
