Invincible son

Chapter 1186 1187 [Thousands of miles of fast wind] ([-])

The position of the middle army of the West Wu North Route Army.

Xie Lin stood on the shaft of the car, looking at the siege battle in the distance.

After four consecutive days of pressure and testing, he found that the situation was better than he had inferred.The Longbow Army was obviously not the mighty army that surpassed the Liangxi Army back then, and many soldiers were recruits who had never been to the battlefield.Although the tragic battle will temper those soldiers like a raging fire, Xie Lin does not believe that in just a few days, the opponent's recruits can grow into the backbone of the battle.

Therefore, he adjusted his strategy in time today, focusing on feint attacks on the north and south sides of the Longbow Army City, concentrating the most elite infantry on the west wall, and constantly attacking the opponent's defense line with superior forces.

The commander-in-chief of Liang Jun was obviously not mediocre. After seeing his strategic intentions clearly, he quickly mobilized the veterans with longbows to defend the western city wall. The two sides fought repeatedly, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"General, the Rangers have found out that half an hour after our army launched the offensive, several enemy cavalry came out from the east of the Longbow Army City, and then chose a different route to attack the territory of Lingzhou. We will discuss and analyze Afterwards, it was confirmed that this should be a messenger sent by the enemy commander to ask for help."

A military advisor came to the chariot and said respectfully.

Xie Lin still looked ahead and said calmly, "Which batch of messengers is this in the past few days?"

Xiang Zan replied: "The third batch, a total of 27 people. According to the general's instructions, our rangers adopted a method of partly chasing and intercepting these people, which can not only continue to cause psychological pressure on the enemy's defenders, but also ensure that Liang Guoxi Army Coach Gu Liang will receive these calls for help."

Schelling fell silent.

The fierce resistance of the Longbow Army was within his expectation. After the disastrous defeat two years ago, he naturally would no longer have the slightest contempt for Liang Army.Now it seems that as long as our side continues to maintain the heavy pressure on the Longbow Army City, Gu Liang will definitely mobilize all the reserve forces to help this place, otherwise the northern front door falls into his own hands, and he cannot bear the consequences.

Of course, if the Longbow Army can be defeated before reinforcements arrive, this is obviously a better result.

Xie Lin glanced at the backup pawns in the back who were recharging their energy, and at this moment wanted to attack with all their strength.

However, the morale of the Longbow Army is still at a high point. Even if the strategic goal of the first step can be achieved, I am afraid that it will pay a very heavy price. How can we continue to move forward?Even though the cavalry can drive straight in, it is still necessary to rely on infantry to attack the city.

If he could eat the only reinforcements from the other side first, the soldiers in the military city in front of him would naturally become a lone army, and the army would not have such a firm will when the morale of the army was slackened.

Thinking of the overall strategy of this national war, Xie Lin couldn't help shaking his head, turned to Xiangzan, who was waiting for a decision, and said: "Order the front army to continue to implement the previously prepared refueling tactics, and slightly crush the fighting spirit of the defenders. At the same time Kuai Ma urgently reported to Zuo Xiao and Xiao Qianshan, telling them to get ready for battle and wipe out the enemy's reinforcements in the north of Dongqing Mansion, Lingzhou, Liangguo."

"Follow the order!"

Xiangzan hurriedly left.

Xie Lin's deep eyes passed the military city in the distance, looked towards the southeast of the vast land, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that the [-] elite cavalry can't deal with the mere Lingzhou Xiang army?"

……

When the West Wu North Route Army crossed the Beitiao River, the Longbow Camp had already sent a request for help to the Marshal's Mansion in Xingyang City.

For the scribes of the Marshal's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion of Lingzhou, they were almost too busy to sleep during this period. On the one hand, they had to raise food and prepare ordnance, and on the other hand, they had to recruit soldiers and practice military courage day and night. Before the Beijing army comes to aid, it is necessary to ensure that there are sufficient reserve forces on all fronts.

Although they were not sure whether these recruits could cope with the tragic battle, their anxiety always calmed down whenever they thought of the middle-aged man who was sitting in the Marshal's Mansion.

After all, it was Zuo Junji of Xifu, first-class Marquis of Guangping, who had defeated the Zhou army more than ten times in the south of Daliang.

On the first day when the Western Wu North Route Army attacked Longbow Army City, Gu Liang still stayed in the Marshal's Mansion in Xingyang City, sitting opposite Tang Youzhi.

"Xie Lin is more cautious this time. He will not scatter eagles when he sees rabbits, so the Longbow Army must make some sacrifices to strengthen his determination to besiege the city and fight for aid." Gu Liang poured tea himself, and then pushed it in front of Tang Youzhi.

Tang Youzhi looked solemn.

The Longbow Camp has a very special meaning to him. After all, he has spent half his life fighting in that camp, and his present status cannot be separated from the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Longbow Army fighting for their lives.Two years ago, Ning Zhong and Lu Min buried the details of the Gu Ping army for nothing. Finally, this camp with decades of history was dismantled, and the past glory disappeared. For any veteran of Gu Ping, it is a shame that will never be forgotten.

Now, as the governor of Lingzhou, Tang Youzhi must consider the overall situation. No matter how worried he is about the situation of the Longbow Army, he must maintain a calm mind to take the overall situation into consideration.

Gu Liang made a special explanation, he felt better, nodded and said: "Your Majesty has strategized, and the officials will definitely support you with all your strength."

Gu Liang nodded slightly and said: "You don't have to worry too much. Huo Siqi is a veteran general who grew up in the Longbow Camp. It is not easy to completely defeat the Western Wu North Route Army, but there is no danger in defending the Longbow Army City. What's more, Pei Yue You and I gave Huo Siqi some confidence years ago, which was enough to scare Wu Jun away at critical moments."

Tang Youzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the words. As Pei Yue's most solid ally in the army, he knew very well how many unknown cards the young Duke had hidden.

After suppressing the worries in his heart, he asked carefully: "Master Hou wants to use the results of the war on the northern front to change the overall trend of the battlefield on the third front?"

Gu Liang calmly took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "Xie Lin wants to besiege the city and fight for aid. I hope he does, otherwise it will be very difficult to eat the main cavalry of the West Wu North Route Army. You and I both know that on the Gaoyang Plain It is extremely difficult to encircle and annihilate the Western Wu cavalry, and the opponent can jump out of the encirclement at any time by virtue of mobility, not to mention that we do not have enough troops to encircle the enemy."

He drew a circle on the table with his finger, and continued: "I'm not worried about the safety of the Longbow Army City, because Xie Lin was frightened by the fiasco two years ago, so he would be too cautious. He doesn't want to occupy Under the premise of superiority, fighting too fiercely with our army will only continue to maintain an oppressive posture against the Longbow Army. However, when he calculated every step of the way, his main cavalry was destined to be destroyed. After the crisis on the northern front was lifted , Xie Lin can only retreat back to the west of the Beishao River, and then the real decisive battle will take place."

Tang Youzhi's heart trembled, and he said in a low voice, "Master Hou's real goal is the West Wu North Route Army?"

Gu Liang smiled and said, "It's more than that."

Tang Youzhi is also a veteran on the battlefield, and his perspective on the battle situation is obviously not ordinary people. The anxious state of the battle on the northern, central and southern fronts appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help taking a breath after a while.

Looking at Gu Liang's calm and determined expression, Tang Youzhi said with piercing eyes, "It turns out that Lord Hou has been prepared for a long time. No wonder the situation in the middle line has fallen into such a stalemate. The Emperor of Western Wu must not have guessed that Lord Hou will go after him this time." .”

Gu Liang knew that he had roughly guessed his own thoughts, and said approvingly: "So I said before that I must personally lead the army in this battle, otherwise the commanders of the Western Army's battalions may not dare to take risks and cooperate. Brother Tang, the stability in the rear will be very important. I'm counting on you, and there is another important matter, which requires you to stay in Xingyang and make arrangements for me."

Tang Youzhi said with emotion: "Please order, Lord Hou."

Gu Liang said leisurely: "Pei Yue Feige sent a letter, the Beijing Army's West Camp and South Camp are already on their way, after they enter Lingzhou territory, please help me make some arrangements."

Tang Youzhi listened quietly, and after a long time said respectfully: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely live up to my trust."

The two smiled at each other.

……

On the second day when the Western Wu North Route Army attacked the Longbow Army City, Guangping Hou Guliang personally led more than [-] troops from Lingzhou Zhongwei to leave Xingyang and go north to help the Longbow Camp.

The banners are flying and hunting in the wind.

The people of Xingyang lined the road to see each other off, full of reverence and expectations.
