Invincible son

Chapter 1193 1194 [Thousands of miles of fast wind] (eight)
Southwest of Hucheng, the military camp of West Wuzhong Road.

Now the South Route Army is advancing steadily under the command of Zhang Qingbai. Although the resistance of the Dingxi Army of Liang Guo is extremely tenacious, under the premise that the troops are at an absolute disadvantage, Qi Xin, the coach of Dingxi, is also a clever woman who cannot cook without rice.Zhang Qingbai's temperament is stable and relaxed. Such a personality is not easy to create surprising and unexpected results, but it is very suitable for this kind of real battle.

Yesterday Zhang Qingbai sent someone to report urgently that the South Route Army had captured the last Yongyi Village on the outskirts of the Dingxi Camp, and the Dingxi Army was forced to hide in the Dingxi Army City, and the two sides were about to start a final bitter battle.From the obvious point of view, as long as Liang Guo can't mobilize enough reinforcements, it's only a matter of time before the South Route Army takes down Dingxi Military City and then opens up the main road to the southwest.

The North Route Army has also surrounded Longbow Army City, and [-] cavalry ambushed in the territory of Liang State, ready to encircle and wipe out the only reinforcements in Gu Liang's hands at any time.

The Central Route Army has not made much progress. This is because Liang Guo’s central defense system is very complete, especially the [-] troops stationed in Hucheng, which can always pose a threat to the Wu Army’s rear, so that the Central Route Army cannot go deep.Now the main force of the Central Route Army is besieging Hucheng, and at the same time divides its forces to attack Lulong and other army camps, or it is waiting for the soldiers of Liang Guojinshui Camp to send out to rescue.

Generally speaking, the north and south lines go hand in hand, the middle road forms a stalemate, and the Wu army generally takes the initiative and the upper hand.

However, an urgent report from Xie Lin, the coach of the North Route Army, broke this pattern.

Inside the Shengjia camp, Emperor Xuanwu listened to the eunuch's recitation with his eyes slightly closed, his expression becoming more and more gloomy.

All the civil and military officials below were silent.

[-] cavalry ambushed Liang Guo's reinforcements, and the opponent was an equal number of infantry, and nearly half of them were recruits. In the eyes of any civil servant and Wu Xun in the hall, this was an easy feat. If he could be captured alive or killed If Liang Jun coaches Gu Liang, then this battle will definitely end.However, in the end, it turned out that the opponent only lost thousands of people, and the [-] cavalry of our own side escaped with less than [-] cavalry.

Compared with Xiao Qianshan's rough narration, Xie Lin's memorial is more detailed. He asked almost all the surviving generals and some soldiers, and he has a complete understanding of the ambush that took place in Dongqing Mansion, Lingzhou, Liangguo. , especially the weird pyrotechnic weapons used by Liang Jun in this battle, without any omissions.

At the end of the report is Xie Lin's apology. Even though Xiao Qianshan and Zuo Xiao were largely responsible for the defeat of the battle, he still blamed himself for all the problems.

After the supervisor finished reading the report, there was a dead silence in the hall, and there was no voice for a long time.

Emperor Xuanwu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the prince who was the head of Wu Xun's class, and said indifferently, "Why didn't the Metropolitan Academy find any news about that kind of firearm?"

Dadu Tong and Ning Wang Gao Cheng said in shame: "Your Majesty Qizuo, this matter is indeed ineffective! Last year Emperor Kaiping of the Liang State died in an explosion, but because the Liang State court strictly controlled the disclosure of news, the ministers and others have not been able to find out. Explain the details. At that time, I thought that Wang Pingzhang and others used fireworks to collapse the palace, and then assassinated the king. I did not expect Liang Guo to master such powerful fireworks and use them on the battlefield. I am guilty and willing to receive punishment !"

Emperor Xuanwu's expression was complicated, and he said after a while: "I entrust the Metropolitan Academy to you, I hope you can understand the importance of this responsibility, and you must not make similar mistakes again."

Gao Cheng blushed and said: "I have received the decree, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

After listening to the internal eunuch's report, Emperor Xuanwu was furious and wished he could execute Gao Cheng Duojue immediately, but he calmed down soon.Not to mention that for Liang Guo, that new type of firearm must be the top secret. The spies sent by the Metropolitan Council to Liang Guo’s capital are basically impossible to get close to this kind of secret. Merely cutting off siblings right before the war will affect the morale of the army .

Otherwise, he didn't care about King Ning's life or death at all.

The most important thing at this time is to stabilize the ground, so after he calmed down, he looked around the crowd and said, "Although Xie Lin made a mistake of underestimating the enemy in this battle, he was right about one thing. The powerful new firearm of Liang Guo The number must not be too much, it may affect the outcome of a local war, but it cannot determine the overall trend."

When he first learned of the results of the battle on the northern front, it was hard for the civil servant Wu Xun in the hall not to feel panicked.

The kind of firearms that are buried in the ground will explode as soon as they are touched, and firearms that can be thrown out at any time to cause an explosion. When used on the frontal battlefield, they are almost invincible. Flesh and blood are completely unstoppable. The destruction of is proof.From this, it can be extended that the difficulty of winning this national war will increase infinitely, and it is even very likely to lead to a big defeat.

The power of the whole country to march eastward, and finally lose the army and flee back in embarrassment, this is no longer a question of the outcome of the war itself, but the danger of the country's destruction and extinction of the species!
Now, after listening to His Majesty's calm analysis, everyone looked at each other and could not help but gradually settle down.

Emperor Xuanwu continued: "If the Liang army really had enough firearms to determine the outcome of this national war, Gu Liang would definitely not use it in that ambush, but use it against me at a critical moment. Defeating our army's cavalry It's important, but with Gu Liang's half-life vision, it's impossible to ignore my existence."

General Zhenbei Zhou Dewei nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise. It can be seen from this that the Liang army only has a small number of firearms. Although this battle was unexpected, it is limited to this. Now that our army has prepared for it, there is no need to worry too much."

Zhenxi General Liu Zhiyuan stayed behind in Anyang, assisting the Prince Jian Guo to sit in the rear, so Zhou Dewei was the most influential martial artist in the hall.He sang a harmony with Emperor Xuanwu, and soon the atmosphere in the hall returned to normal.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Zhou Dewei approvingly, and then said: "My dear family, the loss on the northern front makes me very sad, but the most important thing right now is to judge the next move of the Liang army. After leading the troops and retreating to the west of the Beishao River, I don't think he did anything wrong, because Gu Liang is very likely to lead the army westward and use the northern battlefield to revitalize the entire battle situation."

Zhou Dewei pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, according to my opinion, the [-] reinforcements led by Gu Liang and the troops of the Longbow Battalion, totaling about [-], want to defeat us from the plain west of the Beishao River. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible for the Northward Route Army, but the probability of victory is extremely low. Only when he has troops hidden in the dark can he achieve such a strategic plan."

Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I remember that Liang Jun has 5000 defenders in Guyuan Village. Could it be that Gu Liang wants to use this army to cut off my retreat to the North Route Army?"

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Zhou Dewei. The latter shook his head and said, "Five thousand troops are not enough, and Gu Liang will not be so arrogant. Now that the Liang Guojing camp is still on the way, Gu Liang doesn't have many troops to use. Not to mention that there are many new recruits in the Longbow Army and Lingzhouxiang Army. These people are good for defense, but they are definitely not the opponents of our army's veterans in field battles. Gu Liang's military attainments are extremely deep, He will not take such a risk, unless an elite army falls from the sky to assist him in completing the encirclement of my North Route Army, for example—"

He frowned suddenly, and his voice raised a lot: "Tiger City!"

There was a solemn silence in the hall.
