In the early morning at Dongwadang Fortress, Wang Nan walked out of the military tent and habitually walked around to the horse farm at the rear.
After checking the condition of the forage and horses, he walked around to the front of the fortress, and then he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
A reconnaissance riding officer who was covered in sweat or dew drove his horse directly in front of him and jumped off his horse.
Wang Nan frowned and asked, "What?"
"There has been a definite response from the checkpoint in front. It is the main force of Da Mang's Eastern Army." The colonel's face was extremely nervous and his voice trembled slightly as he said: "The eight thousand light cavalry in front are clearing the way... Sir, what should we do?"
"Eight thousand Qingqi will clear the way?"
Wang Nan narrowed his eyes and repeated this sentence slowly.
As a garrison general who only commands two thousand soldiers and horses, it is impossible for this fifty-year-old veteran to know the entire battle situation very clearly. However, all the military information of the army is transmitted through the reconnaissance cavalry and the sergeants guarding the fortress.
Going up, only if the fortresses guarded by these soldiers are nailed to the land of Yunqin like nails, the Damang army cannot penetrate at will, and the intentions and marching routes of most of them will be discovered.
The day before, Wang Nan had learned from the military information transmitted back from the front that the three fortresses on the front line had been captured. An army numbering at least more than 70,000 was rapidly advancing, and its destination should be Dongjingling.
Wang Nan also didn't know the significance of Dong Jingling Tomb to the overall war situation at this moment, but he at least knew very well that if Dong Jingling Tomb was lost, the east wing of Falling Star Tomb would be completely exposed, and the Mang army could penetrate from the east side at will.
Flock to the Tomb of Fallen Stars.
Dong Jingling Tomb was not something Wang Nan had to consider at all before this.
All he has to consider is to guard this fortress and prevent some small groups of large and aggressive troops from passing through this fortress and causing some damage to the rear support troops and some transport troops. Another point is to determine this
The route and advancement speed of the main force of Damang's Eastern Army. Only in this way can Dongjinngling and the entire Yunqin Army respond better.
This Damang Eastern Army has at least five marching routes to choose from, but now their "luck" seems to be extremely good. There are only small groups of Damang troops on the rest of the marching routes, and their fortress is right here.
On the marching route of the main army of Damang Eastern Army.
Wang Nan has experienced many battles, but he knows that two thousand garrison troops face at least 70,000 troops. This is completely different from all the battles he has faced before, and the things he needs to consider now are also completely different from before.
"We only have more than 200 troops and horses. Since the other party has 8,000 light cavalry to clear the way, even if our entire army retreats, we will not have time to reach the rear of Dongjingling. The number of people who may escape is at most one or two hundred people." Wang Nan frowned.
Slowly letting go, his face quickly became calm, "You ask Lao Xu and the others to come to see me, and... you ask Lao Zhang to select as quickly as possible, the young ones, the only children in the family, the ones who already have children in the family
For those who died in battle, there are other reasons, let him weigh it himself, choose a reason, issue a military order, hide it from those people, and let those people go."
When the school officer learned of Wang Nan's final decision, his eyes moistened, but his face calmed down. "Okay." He bowed deeply, saluted the gray-haired old soldier, and then quickly ran into the stone behind.
Inside the tent surrounded by city walls.
…
More than two hundred riders left from behind the fortress and ran wildly toward the east.
Wang Nan stood on the stone wall, watching these subordinates leave. His gray hair was waving in the morning breeze. He didn't wait for the two hundred or so cavalry to completely run out of his sight, but he was just sure that these two hundred or so cavalry were no longer possible.
Hearing his voice, he turned around and looked at all the more than 1,700 Yunqin soldiers who had gathered quickly under the command of the school officer. They began to tell the truth calmly and methodically as usual.
"Sorry, we are very lucky. We happen to be on the marching route of the main army of the Mang East Army. Soon...the other party's 8,000 vanguard cavalry will be here, and there should be at least nearly 70,000 troops behind them."
All the sergeants fell silent. Of course they knew why Wang Nan said sorry in the first place.
"Sir, our Yunqin is very good. In the future, the history of Yunqin will record what happened here."
A school officer suddenly laughed, knelt down on one knee, pulled out his sword, drew a bloody gash in the palm of his hand, and said seriously: "Now... please arrange our next battle."
"Please give the order, my lord."
All the sergeants raised their heads, knelt on one knee, looked at Wang Nan, and made a low voice.
Wang Nan looked at all the men under his command, nodded slowly, and began to issue military orders.
"Smash all the ballistas that cannot be moved or hidden in tunnels and cellars. All food and grass are burned. Except for the weapons and arrows needed for battle, all other things are destroyed, including iron pots and
Don’t leave even one piece of your tent to these Da Mang people!”
"It was a little messy, and a group of people made some footprints to give the illusion that we were leaving."
"Everyone hides in the tunnels and cellars, and when these cavalry troops enter the camp, we will fight out!"
…
The extremely busy Dongwadang Fortress soon became quiet and dead again.
The originally extremely neat and orderly military camp became extremely messy, like a huge garbage dump. All the defense weapons on the not-so-high stone wall were overturned, smashed, and piles of food, grain, and grass were burned.
It burned and turned into black embers.
The entire fortress was deserted, as if it was after the end of the world.
Soon, the wilderness outside the fortress began to shake.
The stone walls and earthen huts within the fortress, as well as the toppled turrets, were trembling and falling into dust.
The black mass of the Mang cavalry came overwhelmingly like a tidal wave.
A group of leading troops with hundreds of riders quickly entered the fortress of Yunqin. After a quick search in the empty and dilapidated fortress, a large number of escaping horse hoofprints and footprints were found eastward behind the fortress, as well as
Lots of things dropped in a hurry.
A Da Mang general in the cavalry who received such news showed a contemptuous smile on his face. The Da Mang light cavalry wearing brass-colored scale armor began to move forward, with the tide coming from both sides or going straight through.
Pass the fortress and completely submerge the fortress.
Suddenly, there were uncoordinated screams and exclamations.
The entire fortress suddenly became boiling.
Dozens of crossbow arrows fired from the cellar directly penetrated the hidden wooden planks of the cellar, penetrated the roof of the earthen house, and fell among the cavalry.
A soldier named Yun Qin rushed out from the hidden hole of the cave, covered in dust, and strangled with the great cavalry.
It's almost autumn this year.
All the more than 1,700 Yunqin soldiers remaining in Dongwadang Fortress died heroically.
However, these Yunqin soldiers also killed more than 2,900 Damang cavalry soldiers who were better equipped than them in Dongwadang Fortress.
…
The main force of Damang's Eastern Army passed through Dongwadong Fortress and continued to rapidly approach Dongjingling.
As time goes by, the situation of many Da Mang armies and Yun Qin armies in Nanling Province is like gears meshing tightly. Many Yun Qin and Da Mang generals who can obtain sufficient military intelligence, even if their skills are insufficient, have also seen that Yun Qin's army is in danger.
The decisive battle between Qin and Da Mang in Nanling Province has arrived...and by the time these generals saw it, it was already too late.
Before that, Wen Ren Cangyue and Gu Yunjing had already smashed down all the power they had time to deploy.
In Nanling Province, there are 150,000 local troops marching towards the battle group, but it is too late, which is equivalent to being left behind in this decisive battle.
It is now very clear that the two areas that play a vital role in the entire decisive battle are the Shaohua Mausoleum and the East View Tomb. The defenders of the Shaohua Tomb are 40,000, and the Da Mang Army approaching the Shaohua Tomb is also about 40,000. East View
The mausoleum defenders numbered 50,000, and the Da Mang army that broke into Dongjing Tomb was at least 70,000.
In terms of the total military strength in the remaining areas, the Da Mang army is at a disadvantage. However, in these two key areas, the Da Mang army can have such military strength, which can only show that Wen Ren Cang Yue was very successful in the previous ten days of fighting.
, and even gained some upper hand.
Normally speaking, even if the 50,000 defenders of Dong Jingling face the 70,000 Damang army, the defenders are not weak. The 40,000 defenders of Shaohua Ling vs. 40,000 are even more advantageous... However,
This is not an ordinary battle, but a decisive battle involving the war between Yunqin and Damang. In this case, in addition to the number and composition of the army, what determines the final outcome of the battle is the weapons and practitioners.
At this time, in such a battle that will determine the fate of the two countries and the lives and deaths of countless people in the rear, a large number of practitioners will definitely appear.
Gu Yunjing didn't know who would win in such a war.
Zhou Shoufu also didn’t know who would win.
Many Yunqin practitioners who know the current situation also know that only when the war finally ends, will they know whether Yunqin's side or Damang's side will win.
The only thing that is certain is that in a war of this magnitude, any practitioner may die, and the combat power of any practitioner will be correspondingly insignificant.
…
Lin Xi already knew all this.
No matter Vice President Xia, Gu Yunjing, or Zhou Shoufu, they would never force him to make any decision, especially after the big changes in the college, Qingluan College even just sent some news and people to him.
None of them made any suggestions for his actions. Lin Xi, who was on the sacred tree flying crane, felt that he was also very insignificant in such a war.
But he has integrated into this world and can no longer separate himself from it, let alone watch the life and death of countless people calmly.
So even though he didn't know whether he had the ability to change the final outcome of this war, he still went to Dong Jingling.
The sacred tree flying crane flies among the white clouds in Nanling Province and flies to Dongjingling.
