Dark Fairy

Chapter 276

Only two hundred miles away from the Yunyan army's military stronghold below Pengshan is Pengshan City, and this is Hong Chao's second line of defense after Pengshan Pass.

Within the range of two hundred miles, a total of fifteen military forts have been built in a hurry, and there are more than twenty small and medium-sized military strongholds, all of which are intertwined with each other by the force of the angle, and finally formed a Zhang Zhang's big net with Pengshan City as the center point was waiting for Yunyan's army to rush over.

The most tense place at this time is the main hall of the Military Mansion in Pengshan City.

As the general who helped the Black Tiger General Zhao Panshan to sit in the rear, Li Zhou has recently been under various pressures and doubts from the entire kingdom.

"Commander, the third combat readiness inspection has ended. All the military forts and forts meet your requirements, without any errors or omissions or any new problems. At the same time, all the supplies in the city have also reached the state of [-]% warehouses.

However, the current construction on the Tianfeng Plain has not yet closed the "first chain". According to Commander Liao Qing, it will take at least half a month to complete. "

The huge sand table in the hall was surrounded by soldiers with serious and hurried faces, holding various beacons in their hands to compare and mark on the sand table.Or walking through the hall with documents in hand.This busy and seemingly chaotic but actually orderly scene is Li Zhou's habit. He likes to use the main hall as a command center, which allows him to command the overall situation more intuitively.

After General Heihu died in the line of duty, the highest command of the army in the south fell on him, including Liao Qing, the commander of the Tianfeng Plain mentioned by the lieutenant just now, who also needs to be restrained by him.

It can be said that in the past Hong Chao's safety was first looked at by the black tiger general Zhao Panshan, but now it is looked at by Li Zhou.

"It will take more than half a month?" Li Zhou frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Liao Qing's speed.But when he thought of the long distance of the "first chain", as many as [-] military forts and nearly [-] military strongholds, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Send Liao Qing the order, and he must complete the closure of the "first chain" within [-] days! Otherwise, the military plane will be delayed!"

"It's the military commander!"

Standing next to the huge sand table, because the sand table was half a foot shorter than his waist, Li Zhou could still see clearly even though it was two feet in diameter.

At this time, the southernmost part of the sand table has been filled with blue beacons representing the Yunyan army. The number of beacons directly reflects the number of people the spies calculated from the number of tents set up by the other party and the past habit of setting up camps for the Yunyan army.

Opposite Yanyun's army are dense red beacons and special marks representing military forts and military villages. These marks will also directly indicate the number of troops garrisoned in these places.

"Where are the spies who went to Pengshan? How many have come back?"

Li Zhou folded his arms and looked at the sand table. After saying a word, another lieutenant came out from behind him, and he bowed and replied, "Commander, none of this batch of spies has returned yet. The news about Yan Dajun is still the one from last night."

"Send another [-] spies out tonight, in groups of five, and even if you use your feet to touch the edge of the mountain, they will bring back more detailed information. The most important thing is the reason why they stagnated after Pengshan Pass Gotta figure it out!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhou walked around the sand table for a few steps, walked close to the camp marked by Yunyan's army, then turned his head to look at the lieutenant generals who followed him, and asked, "What do you guys think?"

The lieutenant general of the main battalion is different from the deputy general of the miscellaneous affairs who followed orders to run errands or the deputy general who always accompanied Li Zhou.They didn't need to do any miscellaneous things, and they followed Li Zhou because the military affairs were in order at this time, and when the Chinese army hadn't moved yet, they needed to follow Li Zhou to discuss military strategies and analyze the current situation.

And the lieutenant generals who can be brought by Li Zhou's side are all veterans on the battlefield, and they are not lacking in strategy and vision.At the same time, he won the trust of Li Zhou.

"Commander, the barbarians have been stationary for nearly a month. This is completely different from the stormy offensive after they broke through Pengshan Pass in the previous battles. My subordinates thought that there was no possibility of actively adjusting the tactics that would lead to fruitful results. , there can only be a reason why they need to adjust. For example, if the casualties are too high, they have to stop and wait for additional troops."

"There is also another possibility, that is, they are aware of our strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, and are worried that they will not be able to kill as smoothly as they did in the previous times, so they are preparing food and grass."

"Preparing food and grass?" Li Zhou turned his head to look at the words, and found that the latter part was said by a lieutenant general standing at the end.This caught his attention.

Seeing Li Zhou looking over, the lieutenant-general who spoke at the back bowed and said, "This subordinate thought that there would be some paperwork left over when Pengshan Pass was broken through. It is not surprising that there are omissions.

Once Yunyan barbarians notice the clues, they will most likely worry about whether their previous strategy of supporting war with war will work due to the superimposition of various reasons such as insufficient soldiers and too long time to break through.Then start preparing food and grass just in case. "

Li Zhou didn't speak any more, but fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Li Zhou said: "The lack of troops and the preparation of food and grass, these two may be the reasons for the stagnation of the barbarians. However, it is also possible that the barbarians in Yunyan are deliberately selling loopholes to lure us to take the initiative to attack and mess up the pace of the front line. If they find a breakthrough, they may be directly torn apart the big net we have arranged for a long time in front of Pengshan City.

And barbarians are good at attacking, we are good at defending.Confrontation attacks are sure to lose with short strikes and long strikes.It's better to wait for work with leisure, and use up the strength of the barbarians bit by bit in the various military forts and the Tianfeng Plain with strong walls and clear fields.

In addition, the leader of the Barbarians this time was their famous general, Zeng Yunlie, who was known as the Tiger of Yunyan.During the last Yunyan disaster, this person was the deputy general in the Yunyan army. He had sharp killing methods. Later, he single-handedly broke through the entire northwest defense line, and the troops reached the capital Sunning. He was an extremely good person. A powerful person on the offensive.

Now that it has been inactive for nearly a month, the troops should have been replenished a lot, and I am afraid that they will be the first to test the attack recently.

Where do you think Zeng Yunlie will attack first?

Is it our side or straight to the center? "

The scene was silent for a moment. This question was not like those before where everyone dared to speak their minds.This time it was a prediction of a direct attack. If it was wrong, many people would die.So everyone is very cautious.

After a while, several lieutenant generals of the battalion agreed that Zeng Yunlie should go straight to the middle.Because the middle road is the closest to Yunyan Bingzhai, it is also the best entry point to tear the big net and form a breach.

Li Zhou thought the same way.Pointing to the three forts on the middle road of the sand table, he said to the miscellaneous adjutant beside him: "Send an urgent order to Hong Yu to the three forts on the first line of the middle road to inform us of the prediction here. At the same time, go to the Huangmen Yunzong. To help with the defense, please be sure to resist the Qi practitioners on the opposite side."
