The devil is coming

Chapter 861
"Report!!!!!!"
"Report!!!!!!"
One after another, military reports began to gather towards the commander's tent, but they were intercepted by Liu Dahu and Zheng Man, and then immediately sent to the tent on the side of the commander's tent where the sword master originally lived.
Chen Xianba sat there, reading this military newspaper by candlelight.
Liu Dahu and Zheng Man squatted nervously next to Chen Xianba. Military reports were usually delivered in the second half of the night, but this meant that there had been actual contact in the first half of the night. There must be one among them. The time difference was, so when they received these military reports, the enemy army was actually closer to their side.
The Sword Master hugged Long Yuan and sat next to him, drinking herbal tea in his hand. He watched his son and Zheng Man send letters here one by one. As if the situation was extremely urgent, he couldn't help but ask:
"Ganjun, how many?"
Although Chen Xianba had the mentality that as a "general" he looked down on simple warriors, he was not stupid enough to refuse to give the sword master face in person, so he immediately said:
"Many, very many, big tigers, maps."
"it is good."
Liu Dahu took out the simpler map from his arms and spread it out. The more detailed map was in the commander's tent, but the prince was sleeping and had been told in advance not to disturb it.
"Our military commander's tent is now at this location.
From the east, Xishan Camp, at least [-] to [-] soldiers and horses are coming towards us. Xishan Camp is still a little more capable of fighting, and will not collapse at the first touch.
From the west, there are cavalrymen, no less than [-] cavalrymen. "
"Cavalry?" Zheng Man immediately asked doubtfully, "Isn't Ganren's cavalry in Liangdi?"
Due to the corruption and dereliction of the horse administration in the Qian Kingdom, there were actually not many cavalry. Although there seemed to be cavalry everywhere, and there was no shortage of horses for both the people and the government on weekdays, but if you wanted to form a large cavalry regiment to maintain the scale, This requires a continuous single-item logistics supply.
The only cavalry regiment in the Qian Kingdom, in the hands of the consort Zhong Tianlang, was formerly the cavalry of the Western Army, and was later integrated into the cavalry from all three sides, plus the additions in recent years, it took shape. Can be used on the frontal battlefield.
But right now, even if he is no longer in Liangdi, it is impossible for a magic weapon to suddenly descend here.
"To the east, there are four captains who have all sent military reports. They are responding to each other. The difference in scale should not be too big. I speculate that Gan Ren must have borrowed troops."
paused,
Chen Xian said overbearingly: "It's probably the Northern Qiang cavalry. That's the only place where Ganren can mobilize so many cavalry in a short period of time.
The Gan people have always had a tradition of mobilizing foreign soldiers, and they used to mobilize the local soldiers frequently.
Mobilizing the Northern Qiang cavalry is actually the same as our palace previously mobilized servant soldiers from the snowy fields. "
Liu Dahu asked: "What is the level of the Northern Qiang cavalry?"
Zheng Man said disdainfully: "What can someone do if they are suppressed by the Qian Kingdom and have to recruit servants?"
Chen Xianba said: "You can't calculate it that way. The Beiqiang was founded as a nation back then, but was later pacified by Xianggong. The factors that restrict the development of an ethnic group are not just combat power, but also many others.
And most of the time, the Qian people mainly focused on recruiting and dividing the Northern Qiang. If they could be wiped out once and for all, the original Western Army would have done so.
Let's put it into perspective, the combat strength of the Northern Qiang cavalry should be lower than that of the barbarians, and higher than the savages without a savage king.
Of course, they are definitely no match for our Jindong cavalry and Dayan's Zhenbei and Jingnan armies. "
The sword master asked curiously: "Do you know all this?"
It's like a parent who sees another child with good academic performance and always wants to ask about some learning methods.
Chen Xianba replied: "When I was a child, I always had a master by my side who was responsible for teaching me. He was not a father, but better than a father."
The sword master nodded, and the responsibility lies with him, as a father, did he not teach him well?
Alas, I shouldn’t have asked.
"As for the north, it is Xianggong Han's branch that has been confronting us these days. Its size is between [-] and [-]. Most of them are composed of local soldiers, county soldiers and defenders. Their combat effectiveness is not strong. But I feel that the other side should have something to rely on, and it is even possible that there is some elite soldier hidden inside the military camp.
To the south, judging from the military reports sent back, it was no surprise that the Imperial Guards of the Qian Kingdom were dispatched.
At that time, the Qianguo Imperial Army was said to be 80 strong, but those who were actually alive had to be beaten twice more.
When the prince attacked Qian, the imperial army of Qian first pulled out [-] soldiers. They were so loose that they collapsed as soon as they entered the battlefield.
Subsequently, Qian Guo wanted to pull out another forbidden army to go north, and gathered tens of thousands of troops. Most of them fled before leaving Beijing and Bianzhou County.
After that, Gan Ren should have reorganized and trained the Forbidden Army. According to the military reports sent back by the captains from the south, there must be [-] soldiers. "
Zheng Man counted with his fingers and said;
"Good guy, is this more than 20 troops? There are really a lot of people in this country."
No wonder Zheng Man would be amazed, because Qian Guo still had heavy troops on three sides, and they were really heavy troops. In Liangdi, there was also a field legion of Qian Guo.
At present, Qian Guo can actually still be in the heart of the country, and so many soldiers and horses have been gathered in a short period of time.
The most terrible thing is that the troops and horses in Jiangnan of Qian Kingdom have not had time to mobilize yet. At the same time, King Qin's troops from some remote places have not yet arrived.
"This is the Kingdom of Qian." Chen Xianba said, "When you get familiar with the Kingdom of Qian, you will be surprised by how powerful it is. Then, you will be surprised that it was once the weakest country among the four countries and was suppressed by Dayan. It’s even more incredible to feel so powerful.”
Liu Dahu asked: "Where is the prince..."
"Since the prince has given orders, we must do what he ordered. We can't complete the siege in one night. Even if we can form a response from all directions, we won't have time to launch an offensive tomorrow. The prince has a good night's sleep, so he can sleep peacefully.
Furthermore, don't be shocked when you hear the size of the opponent's troops. Back then, the two generals Li Bao and Li Fusheng were able to directly penetrate the Qian Kingdom with only [-] to [-] troops and horses. This shows the difference in the combat effectiveness of the Qian Kingdom's army.
Even on the snowy plains, my ten thousand Jindong cavalry can drive away fifty thousand barbarians. What does this little battle mean? "
said,
Chen Xianba looked at Liu Dahu and asked;
"Have all the captains returned to camp?"
Liu Dahu replied: "According to the messenger's report, they should have followed the previous instructions and retreated back to the camp as soon as they came into contact with the Qianjun. They should be on the road now. They should be able to come back before dawn. "
Chen Xianba nodded and said: "That's enough. Let's all rest. We won't be energetic until the prince wakes up."
……
When Zhao Mugou walked into the commander's tent, he met Zu Xinyue who had just come out.
Zu Xinyue saluted Zhao Mugou. No matter how embarrassing the position of Prince Rui's palace was in Daqian, as a foreign general, it was impossible to lack courtesy.
Zhao Mugou also returned the gift seriously;
Later, Zu Xinyue went out and Zhao Mugou walked into the handsome tent.
The elderly Han Gen was not reading a book this time, but standing by the brazier, warming himself by the fire.
"The official personally led the army."
"The emperor's imperial chariot will march in person?"
"Yes." Han Gen nodded, "The only thing separating us from us is the Yan Army's military stronghold."
Since knowing Han Gen's true identity, Zhao Mugou no longer needs to endure it.
What he didn't know was that he had inexplicably done nothing to hide it before, and in Han Gen's eyes, these were symbols of bloodline.
Kissing from another generation, kissing from another generation, this is almost the feeling.
The grandson's "childish talk" in front of him was a sign of his goodwill and trust in him. How could Han Gen be angry about this?
"The last time I went on a personal expedition as an imperial official was during the reign of Emperor Taizong, haha."
Zhao Mugou's words were full of disdain.
Emperor Taizong once went on a personal expedition and killed 50 of the founding elite of the Daqian Empire. Since then, the emperor's personal expedition has been regarded as a serious disaster.
Han Gen shook his head and said: "Actually, the ancestral military system of our Daqian was set by Emperor Taizu, and Emperor Taizu was a horse-riding emperor.
When formulating the system, he also absorbed the lessons of the ancient Xia land where there were numerous military leaders and complicated separatist regimes. He emphasized the centralization of power at the center.
Use the power of the center to control all directions.
But where Emperor Taizu made a mistake was that he miscalculated one thing. He was a horse-riding emperor who conquered the world through conquests, but his descendants would probably not have the same courage and structure as he did, let alone such Ability. "
Zhao Mugou said: "What I didn't expect is that there will be nothing to do with his descendants."
Han Gen sighed and said: "Think of the former emperor of Yan State, who, in order to centralize power at the center, did not hesitate to step on the powerful, and completely delegated military power to the hands of the two kings of the north and south;
As for the official family of our state, we have actually accomplished all this early on, and we have already achieved the situation that the first emperor of Yan State dreamed of.
It is a pity that the system of my Daqian requires a strong emperor to truly operate. A deep palace emperor will only make the system left by Emperor Taizu gradually become deformed and corrupt.
Just as you said to me a few days ago, but you only saw that my Daqian emphasized culture and suppressed military force. In fact, in my Daqian, when the military generals were so miserably suppressed by our literati, the real leader of the military generals should be Official family.
Part of the reason why our Da Gan has been unbalanced all the way is that our literati despised martial artists and deliberately suppressed martial artists. The other half of the reason is that since Emperor Taizong, our Da Gan has never had an official with the appearance of a martial artist.
This official, whom I have watched grow up, is by no means an emperor who loves great achievements. He deserves to be called a wise emperor. The reason why he is going to conquer the country personally this time;
First, if this battle can be won, and after the great victory in Liang, the main force of the Yan people is eaten, and even the prince of the Yan people is eaten, the pattern of the Yan people will be completely reversed;
The second is that the official has clearly seen the nature of our Dagan system. With this personal expedition, he will officially take over the allegiance of all the military leaders of our Dagan.
From then on, he could become the ninety-five supreme emperor of a country in the true sense like the first emperor of Yan State.
Gou'er,
You are very smart. At your age, you can be called a gifted prodigy. However, prodigies are always prone to making a mistake, which is to think that they are smart and at the same time look at others as if they are looking at fools.
This problem needs to be corrected. "
Zhao Mugou immediately knelt down and
road;
"Grandpa, my grandson knows."
There is some tacit understanding and tacit understanding.
But it is still unknown how far Han Gen is willing to indulge, and where the grandfather and grandson can go.
Would Han Gen be willing to devote everything in the Han family to a grandson who suddenly appeared?
Zhao Mugou did not dare to think about this possibility, because the Han family was a large family, and Han Gen had many grandchildren.
But at least,
He has a chance,
And this opportunity was created by his grandfather.
Even though he knew that he was Han Gen's grandson, Zhao Mugou still believed that he was from Prince Rui's Palace and the eldest son of Prince Rui's Palace.
"Now, I'm worried about one thing."
"What are you worried about?"
"Do you still remember what Prince Pingxi said when I took you to meet with Prince Pingxi that day?
He says,
official family,
Isn't it right here?
At that time, I thought he was joking about you. Now think about it, is it possible that he meant something else, or had he already guessed? "
……
"Oh, I was just mocking and teasing Han Gen about Prince Rui, but there was no point in it.
Besides, how the hell could I have known that the official of the Qian Kingdom would be so brave this time and dared to conquer personally? Am I a god? "
King Pingxi, who had had a long and good sleep, sat on the bed and received the military report he had just received. He couldn't help but smile and curse at the sword master who sat next to him and asked him.
"Really don't know?" The sword master still didn't believe it.
Because the latest military report clearly pointed out that among the forbidden troops in the south, there was a Jinwu Dragon Banner.
"Hey, Lao Yu, you are always by my side. It doesn't matter what myths people below give me, but what kind of person I am, don't you still know in your heart?
Why are you studying like a scholar now, talking about words here? "
Zheng Fan stretched his waist.
His sleep lasted from dusk yesterday to almost noon today.
It can be said that before going to bed, I was in high spirits, but after waking up, I was surrounded by enemies.
"Xianba, I am hungry."
Chen Xianba brought food in. The food was very good, with four dishes and one soup, cooked for the prince alone.
The rest of the people ate early.
The prince sat alone behind the handsome table, holding chopsticks and eating slowly and leisurely.
Outside the handsome tent, Zhao Yuannian and his family, except his mother, were waiting early. Obviously, they also knew the situation outside.
After finishing the meal,
The prince waved his hand to remove the bowls and chopsticks, and then walked out of the handsome tent.
Zhao Yuannian took his princesses to salute the prince.
Prince Pingxi, who had eaten and drank enough, lingered on the Mopan concubine for a while.
Then he pointed at Zhao Yuannian,
Road:
"Where's your mother?"
"Replying to the prince, my mother is in the tent, dressed in fine clothes."
"Your mother is a sensible person. Go and ask your daughters-in-law to put on their fine clothes and show off their grandeur."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhao Yuannian immediately went back with his three princesses.
He kept walking but turned back three times. After all, he was extremely scared.
What Er Gouzi fears most is when he is liquidated, because he understands how miserable his end will be when that happens.
In comparison,
Prince Pingxi, who had been besieged by more than [-] troops, seemed very calm.
Outside the commander's tent, there were many soldiers of Yan Army. Except for those on patrol, the rest were either brushing their horses or simply sleeping.
The veterans know what is best and most practical for them to do now. At the same time, their experience and emotions will also be transmitted to some new soldiers around them.
Zheng Fan grabbed his chin with his right hand, hugged his neck with his left hand, shook it, and then made a "click" sound;
call,
Comfortable.
A Ming touched his wine bottle. If he hadn't gone out to hunt the sentries of Ganjun in the north, he might have run out of food long ago.
Now, he seemed a little excited.
He enjoys war, because only on the battlefield can he choose the blood of those strong men who died in battle, which tastes completely different from the blood of ordinary people.
Xu Chuang was silently sharpening his sword.
Prince Pingxi looked at the fine weather today and said with a smile: "With an army of more than 20, it's okay. It will give us face to do it."
There is another siege from all sides. This is to repeat Liang Di's great victory over Li Fusheng. He wants to swallow me hard like Tiger Wilbur!
From this point of view, there must be a problem in the military camp where Han Gen is located in the north! "
Chen Xianba immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the method of siege is not to look at the strongest link, but the weakest link, because there is only..."
“Next time just talk about the barrel effect.”
"Ok?"
"The amount of water a barrel can hold depends on its shortest board."
Chen Xianba nodded vigorously and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zheng Fan shook his head indifferently,
road;
"He wants to weave an iron cage for me, but he also has to prevent me from jumping out. The miscellaneous army in the southeast, northwest, and north should be the weakest, and it happens to be the north, which is the direction in which I will retreat.
No wonder that old guy Han Gen is playing a double act with me. He is not afraid of me attacking him at all. He has the confidence to make it difficult for me to defeat him in a short time.
Hehe, I have discovered that these people are really carved out of the same mold as me. Which moves are easy to use and which ones are winning? I am too lazy to change the playbook.
Okay, we are really alone now. My boots are really soaked this time.
That official of the State of Qian was also a petty person. Didn't I just point my finger at him and say that he didn't know how to fight? This time he actually went into battle in person to regain his position.
I also find it very troublesome.
If the same thing happens,
To the same people,
You have to say it twice, why bother? "
King Pingxi waved his hand,
Asked Chen Xianba:
"Okay, since they are already pressing on us from all sides, Xianba, how many soldiers and horses do we still have in our military camp now?"
Chen Xianba reported back:
"In addition to the various captains who retreated from the perimeter between late last night and this morning,
In the military stronghold,
All the troops and horses that can be called upon now,
Will be ten thousand! "
