Invincible son

Chapter 337 336 [General]

Border Pass, Jiming Village.

The traces of the fierce battle half a month ago gradually disappeared, but the atmosphere in the village did not relax.The peasants continued to repair and strengthen the city wall, and the soldiers practiced hard every day according to the requirements.Not long after Pei Yue left, the reinforcements sent by the Guping camp soon arrived, including 6000 infantry and [-] archers, plus the original soldiers in the village, now Qin Xian has a total of nearly [-] troops.

This has far exceeded the upper limit of the number of troops led by a commander. It is impossible for Ning Zhong to directly promote Qin Xian to be a commander.

Along with the reinforcements came three thousand peasants, carrying a large amount of food, grass and military equipment, filling the warehouses of Jiming Village to the brim.

The strength of the army increased several times, but Qin Xian did not relax, but worked harder than before.Now the soldiers under him come from complicated sources, including the defenders of Jiming Village who followed him, the defeated soldiers of the Three Villages in the West who were collected by Pei Yue, and the reinforcements transferred from the Guping Camp. He wants to integrate these people into one Being together is not easy.

Fortunately, Pei Yue kept Dong Da by his side.

This middle-aged man whose original name was Dong Daqian had a deep relationship with the Qin family and admired Qin Xian's father, Qin Huai, so he put aside his distracting thoughts and devoted himself to helping Qin Xian train these soldiers.

After the Western Wu army suffered setbacks, they did not immediately attack Jiming Village. Instead, they camped more than [-] miles to the northwest. Out of camp to harass.

The reason, on the one hand, is that Jiming Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhang Qingbai had to temporarily change his combat strategy after losing Guo Rong, the ten thousand commander.On the other hand, Ning Zhong, who was originally guarding the South Mountain Village, suddenly led his army westward for more than a hundred miles, stationed at Lulong Village in the west, and his troops pointed directly at the headquarters of the Western Wu Army.

So far, the situation of the war in the western border has gradually become clear.

To the southeast of Hucheng, General Zhang Qingbai of Xiwu Zhennan led an army of 13, and confronted the Ningzhong Department of Guping Daying.

To the north of Hucheng, General Xie Lin of Xiwu Zhendong led an army of 15 to cross the Beitiao River. As long as the defenders of Hucheng were dispatched, this famous general who was very good at large-scale raids would cut off the retreat of the defenders of Hucheng. Of the policy.At the same time, Xie Lin's department was still monitoring the Longbow Camp in the northeast.

After Qin Xian inspected the city defense, he returned to the meeting hall, looked at the sand table in front of him, and frowned tightly.

Xue Meng walked in with an iron rod, naked to the waist, looked at the sand table and said with a smile: "Brother Yue is really powerful, he went to Nanshan Village, not only took out three thousand soldiers and horses from Ning Zhong's pocket, but also sent us With so many weapons and supplies, the most important thing is this sand table, which is much more useful than the Naluoshizi map."

Qin Xian kept silent, Xue Meng had long been used to it, and said to himself: "Brother, Boss Dong is a good soldier trainer, and he can squeeze those people into a ball in a few days. Unexpectedly, he has been a soldier in Daokou Village for more than ten years. , It’s really a waste of talent. If you don’t wait until this battle is over, you can find him an errand, in my opinion, it’s no worse than those counselors raised by the Xifu.”

Qin Xian suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Are you free?"

Don't look at how Xue Meng usually bluffs, he looks fierce on the battlefield, but he is very honest in front of Qin Xian. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said: "Brother, didn't I just finish training?"

Qin Xian glanced at the beads of sweat on his body, did not continue to be harsh, and said solemnly: "If Marshal Ning sticks to the South Shanzhai, Zhang Qingbai will definitely not be able to take advantage when the imperial court sends reinforcements to the Beijing camp. At that time, he will have to retreat. The court of the Western Wu Dynasty is so mobilizing and mobilizing the masses but they return without success. The country will inevitably turn against the sky, and the border will be stable for several years. But our Marshal Ning obviously can't stand loneliness, maybe he was stimulated by Brother Yue's great achievements With red eyes, it is really stupid to want to fight Zhang Qingbai in the wild."

"Decisive battle?" Xue Meng jumped.

Qin Xian pointed to the south of Lulongzhai on the sand table, and said slowly: "The terrain here is flat and open. If Ning Zhong wants to fight Zhang Qingbai here, he will definitely lose."

Xue Meng frowned: "Why didn't Brother Yue stop him?"

Qin Xian thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Why should Brother Yue stop him? An imperial envoy's name is not enough in front of Marquis Wuwei and the commander of the Guping camp."

"Then what should we do?" Xue Meng asked nervously.

Qin Xian said helplessly: "Continue to practice, Zhang Qingbai specially left a [-]-man team in the southwest of the battlefield, in order to keep watch over our army defenders. I can only hope that Marshal Ning can see the situation clearly, Don't bury the main force of the Guping camp here."

He punched the edge of the sand table with a fist, showing anger and unwillingness, but in the end he could only turn into helplessness.

……

Ye Qi set off from Kyoto on the 21th of July and arrived at Qishanchong on the [-]rd of August. He traveled nearly [-] miles in [-] days, which can be described as extremely fast.In contrast, the Beijing Army's North Day Camp set off on July [-], and was still in Dengzhou on the [-]th of August, but traveled exactly half of the distance.

Calculated at this speed, it will take at least the end of August for the [-] Beijing troops to reach the border.

Judging from the number of people, the North Camp is not as good as any frontier camp in the west, but the Beijing Army has always been the elite division in the Daliang military sequence, and its overall combat power is second only to the Forbidden Army guarding the imperial palace.

It has been less than two years since Yin Wei, the head coach of the Peking University Camp, has not yet fully grasped this tiger in his hands, so he has been cautious and responsible all the way, always following the lead of Cheng Anhou and Lu Min.

But this does not mean that he dare not put forward his ideas in front of Lu Min. After all, the family backgrounds of the two are almost the same. They are the descendants of the Nine Dukes of the founding of the country.

"Brother Ke Xing, do you want to mention the marching speed again?" Yin Wei said calmly in the temporary commander's tent.

Lu Min has the word Kexing, and there are not many people who are qualified to use this word to call him, and Yin Wei is one of them.

Lu Min said indifferently: "You have also read the battle report sent by the border. Although three military strongholds were lost, Wu Jun suffered a big defeat at Jiming Stronghold. There will be no danger in a short time. The army must look after each other when marching. , and pay more attention to the morale and physical strength of the soldiers, how can you speed up at will? You are also a veteran in the army, so you shouldn't say such things."

Yin Wei frowned slightly. He was the head coach of Guping Daying before he was transferred to the head of Peking University. He was very displeased with Wuwei Hou Ningzhong who took over as him. If he hadn't known that Ning Zhong was Lu Min's pawn, he would not have been so polite.

Seeing that the other party didn't consider his suggestion at all, Yin Wei said sincerely: "The people of Western Wu came prepared, and the defenders of Hucheng must not move lightly. I am worried about the safety of the Guping camp."

Lu Min glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "With Xiangcheng Marquis Xiaojin stationed, Hucheng is safe. As for the Guping camp and the Zuojin military camp, I have ordered people to quickly send a letter to Ning Zhong to let him occupy the city. Persist in waiting for an opportunity to harass, and I think there will be no problem."

Yin Wei shook his head and said: "Brother Ke Xing, Marquis Wuwei is a little impulsive. If the reinforcements are delayed, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back. Even if it takes time for the Beijing army to arrive, the Longbow Battalion can send troops to support it."

Lu Min said seriously: "The Western Wu people extended their fists this time to mobilize our frontier troops to deploy. You let the Longbow battalion send troops. Could it be that Xie Lin, who is on the bank of the Beishao River, will just watch? There is no need for this matter." Discuss again, I have my own opinion, you just need to be in charge of the march of the Peking University camp during this time."

"Follow the order."

Yin Wei felt helpless, but the opponent was the commander of the right army and the leader of the west army, not to mention him, even the fourth border battalion was under his jurisdiction.Only Hou Xiaojin of Xiangcheng, who is in control of the Hucheng camp, can say no to Lu Min.

After Qi Yunhou left the tent, Lu Min let out a breath of foul air slowly, and Pei Yue's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

He never took the grievances between this son and Lu Jiang to heart. The reason why he thought of him at this moment was because he found that the Viscount Pei Yue might become a variable in this war.

He doesn't like this kind of variables very much.
