Chapter 1410 Arriving at Guangzong at Night
In the end, Huan Yi was unable to stop Jin Xuangong, just as before Jin Xuangong disagreed with his decision to send Pan Jia abroad, although it was due to differences in military and political affairs, it was also the respect between the two young handsome men with their own opinions.

When the messenger left, Jin Xuangong also sent back his decision to attack Shangbai, so there was no way out.Of course he also understands that the general Hu Run is leading thousands of troops, and the counter-offensive forces have been building up for a long time. It is impossible to change because of his single-point breakthrough with unknown results, but since he has made up his mind, if he doesn't give it a try, Always not reconciled.

After that, taking advantage of the time before dawn, Jin Xuangong began to select soldiers and prepare to send troops.Naturally, it was impossible for Qu Zhou to give up here. Although the city was small and difficult to defend, if there was no support for the city, they, the king's army and the villagers in the city, would also become the targets of wanton massacres by the Jie army's rangers.

What's more, the key point of this attack is to surprise and go straight to the empty door. There is actually no essential difference whether to use 500 troops or 1000 troops.

In the end, there were two battalions of more than [-] soldiers who chose to follow Jin Xuangong to attack.Of course, there are more soldiers willing to attack. Being besieged by the Jie army for more than a month, everyone is ashamed and angry, eager to fight, but this trip is too dangerous, and Jin Xuangong also needs to leave some for Huan Yi to defend the city Strike force.

These people, with a bow, a knife and a pot of arrows, all stood by the city for orders. Jin Xuangong explained to Huan Yixiao who stayed behind in front of the city. In fact, there was nothing to explain.After saying goodbye, the crowd rushed into the thick night without hesitation, even without any heroic slogans.

More than [-] people are all infantry. Although they are called "surprise soldiers", it is still uncertain whether they can really receive the effect of "surprise soldiers".Once they are discovered by the Jie army scouts who haunt the countryside, their attack can be said to be a self-inflicted trap.

But it was probably because of the change in the Meng family's stronghold in the south of Quzhou City that had the effect of slightly confusing the enemy. After Jin Xuangong and his party left Quzhou County, they traveled for nearly an hour without encountering any scouts from the Jie army.

Even if there are scouts from the Jie army, the dark night greatly restricts the scope they can monitor. More than [-] soldiers are sprinting in the wilderness, and the movement is not big or small, unless they happen to be facing Hit it, otherwise the chances of being discovered are not that great.

In short, during the nearly one-hour journey from departure to dawn, with the dawn in the east and the faint morning light, the vision gradually broadened. Jin Xuangong and the others also successfully entered the wilderness. The scouts of the army will not leave the wilderness and enter it for boring searches.

The scenery in Nozawa is boring, and there is no mature path to follow. Although two guides were selected from Quzhou City, the guiding effect that can be exerted is very limited.

A group of people are determined to make great achievements. It would be too ironic if they got lost in the wilderness. Therefore, while maintaining a secret advance, Jin Xuangong did not dare to stray too far from the wilderness. Fortunately, in the autumn sky, pointing the way forward, Even if it deviates, it shouldn't be too far away.

If you sneak for a day, in terms of distance, you should have almost reached Shangbai, but in fact, there are no conspicuous city camps in your field of vision.

Shangbai is a relatively special existence in the country of Jie. Although this territory is under the jurisdiction of the country of Jie in name, in fact, the country of Jie has not established a clear county system here, because this place was classified as begging in the old year. army habitat.The begging army is a relatively independent force within the country of Jie. Even in the heyday of Shi Le, the former lord of the country of Jie, he did not dare to neglect the army of begging too much.

With the death of Shi Le, the first lord of the Jie Kingdom, the Jie Kingdom as a whole fell into civil strife, and a large number of elite soldiers were consumed. The status of the begging army who was free from these disputes became more prominent, and it became the current Jie Lord Shihu. There are not many soldiers under his command.

Of course, the main force of the begging army has been dispatched from afar and is not in the country, but it also retains a considerable force left behind. It's just that this force is difficult to control even Shi Hu, the leader of Jie, let alone Shi Hu, a rising star of Jie. Min.

One of the negative effects brought about by the relative independence of the Qihuo Army is that the area including Shangbai and Guangzong is a blind spot in intelligence for Master Wang.Because even the counties and counties of the Jie Kingdom that they are currently conquering, there is no map record about this area.

As for the marching map used by Jin Xuangong, it was actually some geographical information obtained when the Fenwu Army ran rampant in this area last year.But at that time, the Fenwu Army was on an expedition alone, and it was impossible to slow down and carefully explore the geographical situation. The map drawn according to the marching route was naturally detailed and slightly inaccurate, and mistakes and omissions were inevitable.

Although Jin Xuangong was very cautious during the march, carefully identifying the various landscape landmarks along the way, but because he had to hide his whereabouts, it was impossible for the soldiers to disperse to determine their position, so after nightfall, he was still a little frustrated when he found that the worrying situation had appeared. They have indeed lost their way in Nozawa, and they no longer know where they are now!
How to do?
The fact of getting lost can only be hidden in the bottom of my heart, and must not be revealed to the soldiers. This is not because I don’t trust the soldiers under my command, but the more people who know about this kind of thing, the more demoralized it will be. No supplement.

Fortunately, Jin Xuangong himself was not a pampered son of a famous Chinese clan. He had a lot of experience in leading his troops in Liaodong in the past, and the geographical situation in Liaodong was much more complicated and harsh than that of Hebei. It is not uncommon for him to lose his direction during the march. matter.

Therefore, even though he had determined that he was in a disadvantageous state, Jin Xuangong was still able to maintain his composure, and even joked and encouraged the soldiers around him during the march.It is not acceptable to stand still, even the naps on the way to march must follow the previous rhythm, only to work harder to identify and adjust the direction during the journey.

The reason why he can maintain this is not only that Jin Xuangong himself has enough concentration and does not panic when things happen, but also because he considers the actual situation.

Their journey may have deviated to a certain extent, but generally they still follow the direction of the whole way to the north. The straight-line distance between Shangbai and Quzhou is only between fifty and sixty miles. There are traces of Xia, but it is certain that it is not far from Shangbai.

Shangbai is the temporary base camp of the Jie army under Ran Min's department. It is impossible that there is no defense in the surrounding area, and their Wangshi team has penetrated into such a position, but they still haven't found it or been discovered, which also confirms the current situation from the side. On the veracity of the news that Bai's defense is weak!
It can be seen from this that Jin Xuangong's tactical decision to take the risk of attacking Shangbai was right, but there was a deviation in the actual implementation process. Fortunately, this was not an irreversible big mistake. Actions will surely make meritorious deeds.

Thinking of this, the excited look on Jin Xuan Gong's face is not entirely a disguise. It has to be said that sometimes optimism is really a very valuable inner strength.At least so far, Jin Xuangong is still full of certainty in his heart, even much firmer than when he started from Qu Zhou.

"Let's rest for a while, stay until the middle of the night and continue on the road."

After walking into a relatively open dry river valley in Noze, Jin Xuangong raised his eyes to see the cold sky with only a few flickering cold stars, and whispered an order.He had an old illness, and although he hadn't been jolted by the horse along the way, the pain was unbearable, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. After he stopped, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. It's kind of weird.

The soldiers sat around on the ground, took out their dry rations and swallowed them finely with their teeth. In addition to refraining from making loud noises, some people couldn't help discussing in a low voice: "If this trip can be successful, we can conquer the Jie army." Thief's Nest, how many armors should you get?"

Jin Xuangong served as the commander of the army, replacing the leader who broke out and died earlier. He spent a short time with the soldiers, but he had not yet established full prestige, because he also paid attention to seizing opportunities to communicate with the soldiers on weekdays. After hearing this Then he said with a low smile: "The military system of rewards for traveling on the platform has been changed. In the future, regardless of the first-class merit, the twelve military merits will have their own positions. Facing the enemy, there are differences between going into battle, going down, getting up, and getting down. If you can achieve meritorious deeds, you should go to battle if you are alone in a long-distance attack. If you can kill multiples of prisoners, you will be rewarded. Both going to battle and winning are rare. At least you can accumulate honors for four to five ranks. That is to say, if you fight later If everything goes well, everyone and I will be honored to the rank of Captain Xiaoqi."

When the soldiers heard this, they all became excited, and gathered around Jin Xuangong one after another, asking carefully what the so-called rank of honor meant.

Jin Xuangong patiently explained the different meanings of these honors. Four-turn Xiaoqi Lieutenant regarded as the sixth rank. In addition to the due money and silk rewards, there are also certain career rewards.The more important point is that as long as you get another cavalry captain who is conveyed to the fifth rank, you can give a son a job. Is the real official status.

When everyone heard this, they all became excited, and gradually realized the value of this transfer.If they go alone on this trip and go straight to the enemy's base camp, they can accumulate five ranks of honor after success, but in fact, not everyone has such an opportunity and experience.At the very least, tens of thousands of people from the Yanzhou Military Mansion have been going north for more than a few months, and very few of them can really get Rank [-] directly, and now this opportunity is in front of them!

After resting for half an hour, the soldiers gradually regained their strength and were encouraged by their military exploits. When they set out on the road again, they walked a little briskly.

If he continued to move forward for more than an hour, his field of vision suddenly flickered, and a large group of fire finally appeared at the end of the grass and shadows.Seeing this, Jin Xuangong's expression suddenly lifted, and he quickly stepped forward to identify it carefully. The flames stretched across the ground and formed a line, vaguely outlining a light and shadow of a majestic city.

Seeing this, Jin Xuangong's face gradually became a little ugly. Although Wang Shi didn't know much about the situation here, there were still records of such a magnificent city like the night ahead: it turned out that they had already bypassed Shangbai during their trek. Arrived at the foot of Guangzong City where the remaining beggars stayed behind!
