Mi Han

Chapter 499
The reason why Zhuge Liang ordered tens of thousands of Han troops out of the Jiange to camp a few miles away from the Wei army's camp was mainly for two purposes.

On the one hand, the purpose is to confuse Cao Hong.

After seeing his own army's majestic attacking posture, Cao Hong's next energy will be concentrated on how to defend against his own army's onslaught, which can largely conceal the true purpose of the Han army.

This is Zhuge Liang's tactic.

Apart from the purpose of confusing Cao Hong, Zhuge Liang did not want the true whereabouts of the Han army to be exposed in advance.

Cao Hong is a veteran, even though his current task is mainly to defend, but he will still do the most basic task of sending scouts to investigate the enemy's situation.

And tens of thousands of Han troops set off from outside the Jiange and crossed hundreds of miles of mountains to Dingjun Mountain. Under normal circumstances, this could not be concealed from Cao Hong's scouts.

Only by building the barracks of "tens of thousands of Han troops" not far from the Wei army's camp, can the Wei army's scouts be prevented from exploring.

The mountain road outside the Jiange was narrow, and when the "tens of thousands of Han troops" set up camp like the Wei army, the Wei army's scouts had no room to detect the intelligence behind the Han army's camp.

Besides, "tens of thousands of Han troops" were right in front of us, so it was even more unnecessary for Cao Hong to let his scouts go over the mountains and forests to go around the back of the Han army camp and continue to investigate the enemy's situation.

Due to Zhuge Liang's overall planning and adequate preparation, the camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of troops was built soon, which also means that the surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain was officially put on the agenda.

On the tenth day of the sixth month in the fourth year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, the sky is clear today, and the alchemists say that it is advisable to go on an expedition.

On this day, behind the Han army's camp, which could not be detected by the Wei army's scouts, outside the Jiange pass, there were groups of elite soldiers lined up early in the morning.

Teams of elite soldiers wore fine armor and red-tasseled pockets on their heads. Under the sunlight, they looked energetic and high-spirited.

A rough view from the Jiange Guan wall, the number of teams of elite soldiers combined is in the tens of thousands.

These tens of thousands of elite soldiers are not recruits recruited this year.

Among the tens of thousands of elite soldiers, there are [-] Liangzhou soldiers who are eager to protect the Lord and are brave and good at fighting, and there are [-] Yizhou soldiers who have just won a big victory and have been fully recharged.

During the pacification of the Nanzhong War, these two elite soldiers from different places, under the command of Zhuge Liang, crossed the mountains and mountains of Vietnam for thousands of miles, and crusaded all the rebellious officials and thieves who dared to rebel against the great Han.

In terms of mutual fit, these two elite soldiers have long been perfected.

In terms of familiarity with the mountains and forests, these two elite soldiers are already the best in the world.

The most important thing is that these two elite soldiers are the field army of the big man who has experienced many battles. Every soldier in them is no less loyal to the big man than those dignitaries standing high on the wall.

This means that as long as the big man needs it, they will have the belief that they are not afraid of death, and will do their best to shed their blood for the big man.

When such two elite soldiers gather together, the task they are about to undertake must be the most difficult, but at the same time, they are the only ones among the big men who can complete the most difficult task.

For this, Zhuge Liang was full of confidence.

Standing under the wall, Zhuge Liang looked down at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers with firm eyes below, and finally his eyes stopped on the figure in front of more than ten thousand elite soldiers - Hanzuo Zhonglang General Deng Ai.

Zhuge Liang didn't intend to lead the army to Dingjun Mountain himself.

It's not that he's afraid of the hardships and hardships on the road, it's just that if he wants to successfully cross the hundreds of miles of mountains to reach Dingjun Mountain, it's definitely not enough to rely on these more than [-] elite soldiers.

The follow-up supply of food, grass and water, and the follow-up deployment of the rest of the army, each of them is an unimaginably arduous task.

And these kinds of affairs are extremely important.

If these affairs go wrong, not to mention Liangzhou's last hope will be lost, even the more than ten thousand elite soldiers who entered the mountains earlier may also face collapse.

Therefore, he must stay in the Jiange, and personally guard these affairs for the big man and Mi Yang.

In addition to this reason, Zhuge Liang also considered the issue of front-line command.

Although Mi Yang is currently the general of Xing, he has not really opened the government to manage affairs after all. In terms of the command of the army, it is difficult to say who should listen to whom between the general Xing and the prime minister.

Even this kind of hard to say, not only stems from the position, but also from human feelings, sophistication, and jurisprudence.

Zhuge Liang knew very well that discord in command is the most taboo in the army.

In this case, it is best for him not to go to the front line, so that Mi Yang can give full play to his talents.

What's more, Zhuge Liang also knew that if Mi Yang got the support of a large number of active forces, then he must have a way to turn the tide of the battle - at least he could keep Liangzhou.

This is Mi Yang's many glorious achievements before, and it has shaped the world's confidence in him.

Zhuge Liang looked impatient when he saw Deng Ai's face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After deciding not to lead the army himself, Zhuge Liang had considered many candidates for the leading general in his mind, and finally he chose Deng Ai against all odds.

Elite soldiers can exert their greatest energy only when they are paired with strong generals.

Deng Ai's ability has already been demonstrated in the first battle of Nanzhong, and from the perspective of ambition, perhaps Deng Ai is the one who is most anxious to rescue Liangzhou in Jiange.

Seeing Deng Ai looking at him asking for instructions, Zhuge Liang took a command flag from Yang Yi who was on the side knowingly.

And when Zhuge Liang took over the command flag from Yang Yi, a strange scene happened.

Inside and outside the Jiange Pavilion, which was originally quiet and windless, there was a sudden breeze.

And as time went by, the gusts of breeze became increasingly noisy.

After realizing this scene, Yang Yi next to Zhuge Liang couldn't help but let out a sigh: "This is Dongfeng."

The gradually turbulent east wind blew the blood-red tassel feathers on the pockets of more than ten thousand elite soldiers, and it also made the crimson army flag on the wall rattle.

With the arrival of the east wind, there was an atmosphere of desolation in the inside and outside of the Jiange, which was originally without the sound of war drums.

And the reason why Yang Yi let out a sigh after realizing that it was Dongfeng was because Dongfeng had a different meaning in this world.

The first level of meaning is that the east wind generally symbolizes the long and difficult road ahead, which faintly corresponds to the major events that the Han army is about to carry out at the moment.

As for the second level of meaning: "The east wind blows and the gods rain, and the spiritual practice is forgotten."

The sudden rise of the east wind was regarded by the southerners as a sign of the arrival of gods, and this sign also indicated that good things were about to happen.

The two meanings of Dongfeng are quite contradictory, but in the current scene, there seems to be some kind of unity between them.

The road ahead is extremely difficult, but once you successfully walk through the difficult and dangerous road ahead, will happiness come unexpectedly?
Zhuge Liang heard Yang Yiqing's expectations, and he, and even the ministers and ministers standing on the wall, why didn't they have such expectations in their hearts?
Without thinking too much, Zhuge Liang decisively waved the command flag in his hand.

When the five-colored command flag danced against the east wind, Deng Ai, who received the signal to send troops, immediately turned and walked towards the mountain road on one side.

As soon as Deng Ai moved, under the command of hundreds of generals, the entire team of more than [-] elite soldiers also followed Deng Ai in accordance with the well-arranged team and walked towards the mountain forest that did not know the way forward.

The movement of more than ten thousand elite soldiers caused the sound of clashing armor, and amidst the sound of iron clashing, there were many sounds of blades chopping branches and plants.

The two different sounds seemed to converge into a beautiful piece of music at this moment, which caused smiles to appear on the faces of the ministers and ministers on the wall.

In troubled times, He Yin is the most beautiful?
Only the sound of Fang Erlang breaking the formation is also.

Zhuge Liang has been watching the progress of more than ten thousand elite soldiers below. Due to the deep vegetation, the figure of Deng Ai walking in the forefront has long been invisible, and more and more soldiers are quickly engulfed by the boundless forest.

From Zhuge Liang's point of view, they all shuddered at the darkness in the vast mountain forest, not to mention those tens of thousands of elite soldiers who faced the unknown darkness directly?

This is a natural vigilance and dread of people towards unknown things.

But no matter how dark the road ahead is, as long as you have faith in your heart, there will be light to accompany you.

Isn't this how Jinhan came here step by step?
Thinking of this, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the object of worship of countless celebrities in the world, Zhuge Kongming of Wolong couldn't help bowing deeply to the more than ten thousand elite soldiers with their backs facing him.

Zhuge Liang's sudden move exceeded everyone's expectations on the wall.

Three bows to send off, this is a very respectful etiquette in this world, not to mention the three bows to send off made by Zhuge Liang.

But now.

But maybe it was driven by Zhuge Liang, maybe it was also felt in the heart, the nobles standing on the wall, Jiuqing Liehou, they also offered three bows to the more than ten thousand elite soldiers behind Zhuge Liang The etiquette of sending you off.

Their identities may be very different from those of the more than ten thousand elite soldiers, but they share a common identity - Ji Han's idealists.

This ceremony not only pays tribute to the steadfastness of the more than [-] elite soldiers, but also to the pioneers who have dedicated their lives to the foundation of the great man for decades.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang slowly raised his body.

By this time, the figures of more than ten thousand elite soldiers had disappeared into the forest in front, followed by groups of civilian husbands escorting supplies.

After the disappearance of more than ten thousand elite soldiers, the east wind inside and outside the Jiange also gradually subsided.

This made Zhuge Liang feel a strange feeling in his heart, and also made a sentence emerge in his heart.

Today, I will borrow an east wind for my teacher and give you tens of thousands of elite soldiers!

This battle must be fought well!

Mi Yang, who was standing on the city wall of Nanzheng, sneezed suddenly.

Then hit another one.

The sudden sneezing caused everyone around Mi Yang to cast caring glances at Mi Yang.

The current war is urgent, the general can't fall ill.

Mi Yang didn't feel that his body might catch a cold because of the sudden sneeze.

Coming from a later life, he is more inclined that his sneezing is caused by someone thinking of him thousands of miles away.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is secretly cursing him.

This is also very normal. When people stand tall, they are always easy to be remembered by others, whether it is good or bad.

It's just that people who stand tall have an advantage, that is, they can see more.

It can be seen that there are many advantages, but on the battlefield where the situation is not good for one's own side, it is likely to turn into a disadvantage.

For example now.

Looking at a large number of civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army carrying earth and stone around Nanzheng City, Mi Yang could only feel his right eyelid twitching non-stop.

Cao Xie, I really want to attack with water!

Mi Yang didn't know whether Wu Yi's arrow really turned Cao Zhen into a eunuch, but because of Cao Zhen's bad qualities, Mi Yang was always willing to bless his opponent with the greatest kindness.

Returning to the ancestors, what else can it be considered a blessing in this world?
There is not only Mi Yang on the city wall, but also his subordinates.

Compared with Mi Yang's "calmness" after realizing Wei Jun's intentions, Zhou Tai and others were not so calm.

Even if they were afraid of affecting the morale of the army, they didn't express their worries directly, but they couldn't hide the uneasiness on their faces.

In the past few days, soldiers on the city wall reported that there was a change in the Wei army, so Mi Yang took a group of subordinates to the city wall to observe.

Compared with the ignorance of the sergeants on the city wall, Zhoutai and others who had been taught the way of water attack by Mi Yang could see what Wei Jun was doing at a glance.

Build dikes!
This is the second step of the way of water attack that Mi Yang said.

Perhaps within a short period of time, Wei Jun may not be able to do a good job in the first step of the water attack.

But since Wei Jun can start the second step, it proves that the first step Wei Jun is bound to be going on, and even has made a lot of progress.

Here, what to do?
Zhou Tai and others subconsciously looked at Mi Yang for help. After seeing these eyes, Mi Yang walked down the city wall with a group of subordinates.

After walking down the city wall, before returning to the state pastoral mansion, in a place where no one was around, Zhou Tai hurriedly said to Mi Yang:
"The bandit army is really going to flood Nanzheng as the general expected, so what should our army do next?

How should the people in the city deal with themselves? "

Zhou Tai seemed the most anxious because he was the one who knew the most about flood disasters among Mi Yang's subordinates.

Thinking of the scene of floods thousands of miles away in Nanyang, Zhoutai couldn't calm down.

Once the Wei army's water attack strategy is really implemented, even if the raging flood does not break down the city wall of Nanzheng in a short time, many people in the city will inevitably die in the flood flooding into the city. Zhou Tai was very anxious.

Under his conscientious governance, Nanzheng managed to gather tens of thousands of residents, so we can't just watch them die.

After Dang Zhoutai spoke, the rest, such as Fa Miao, also expressed their inner worries and uneasiness.

Hearing the intertwined words of your confidants, Mi Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before the flood arrived, the hearts of the people in the city began to be chaotic.

But this is also normal, no matter how strong a person is, when they encounter the mighty power of nature, they will have doubts and fears.

Moreover, although his confidants are all outstanding for a while, they still have a gap with the wizards who govern the world. Without any calculations in their hearts, the doubts and fears in their hearts will deepen.

Fortunately, he does not belong to this ranks.

Mi Yang stretched out his hand to stop the uproar of his confidants, he first looked at Lu Yiyan and said, "How has the city tower been built these days?"

During this period of time, Mi Yang ordered Lu Yi to continue to raise the towers on the four walls of the city, and put on an appearance of guarding Nanzheng.

Seeing Mi Yang asked about this, Lu Yi replied: "All have been raised by more than a few feet according to the general's order."

After hearing Lu Yi's answer, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.

It is impossible for Cao Zhen not to notice the large project of raising the height by several feet.

That being the case, it's time to move on to the next step.
