Chapter 622: Military rush
Chapter 622
The face was very clean, without half of his beard, it looked very delicate with grease, but his complexion was horribly pale, with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, dripping down the front of his jaw, soaking the moonwhite gown.
"The subordinates are not doing well and failing to keep an eye on the second master. The crime deserves death."
A close entourage knelt down and pleaded with Wu Chao: “Subordinates are on guard everywhere. Recently, the second master has not seen the slightest intention of committing suicide... but I don’t know that he had taken the poison quietly.”
Clearly treat flowers and herbs every day, incense and learn Chinese characters, and you can’t see half difference——
I came to the park to sit for a little time tonight, and he followed all the way. When he noticed something was wrong, it was too late.
Wu Chao looked at the person lying quietly in the chair, and for a long time, he said, "Send someone to tell the eldest brother."
The second uncle never remarried after losing his wife in his early years. His eldest son, Wu An, was one year older than him. His wife had just given birth to a beautiful female baby last year.
The second uncle is already a grandfather.
But, taking poison...
And it is such a poison that can kill people very quickly...
When did the second uncle hide this poison?
Or is it always ready and prepared for the worst?
King Dingnan and Princess Dingnan, and Wu Jingyi and his wife also quickly heard the news.
Wu An arrived, Wu Jingling's body had been taken back and temporarily placed in a wing room.
Wu An stood by the bed, staring at the person on the bed in a daze, almost unable to believe it was true.
How long is this?
Not to mention the situation outside...
From the time when the grandfather, uncle and auntie, and the second brother had an accident, the family was almost turned upside down...
Afterwards, fortunately, there were surprises and no dangers, and everyone returned safely.
But at that time someone suddenly told him that his father was plotting to kill his father and brother...!
He never knew that his father had such thoughts!
When my grandfather was sick, his father always stayed by the couch all night;
Uncle and his father have a deep brotherhood. Both of them have good temperaments and have never had any disputes...
And the second brother...
Not to mention .
The second brother was watched by his father and grew up since he was a child!
When the second brother was punished for being naughty when he was young, it was his father who sneaked over the wall to deliver food. For this reason, he broke his arm. Afterwards, he hung his injured arm and was punished to kneel at the ancestral hall by his grandfather. Small eyes.
When the second brother was five years old when he was learning to ride and shoot, the father himself led the horse for the second brother. He spent most of the day on the racecourse...
He didn’t believe that his father could do such things cruelly!
He ran to see his father, wanting to know why all this was, but his father no longer wanted to see him.
At this time, father and son goodbye, it is already yin and yang separated, and there is a gap between life and death that humans can no longer cross.
"Two letters were found in the second master’s study..." Guan Shi took people in and said softly: "One is for the eldest son, and the other is for the grandson."
Wu An doesn’t know how he opened the letter and how he finished reading it.
Father is shameless to see him...
What I wanted to say to him, all stayed in this letter.
The envelope in Wu Chao's hand that contains the words "My Nephew A Yuan Pro-Qi——" In the envelope, there are only a few lines.
One is to inform that all the secrets about the Purple Star Sect are in the Yingyue Tower.
The second is to ask Wu Chao to leave a ray of life to the people of Zixing Cultivation in the future.
Besides, there is nothing else...
This night, Songqingyuan returned from the noisy footsteps and then regained its tranquility.
Everyone left one after another.
Wu Chao and Wu An sat on the stone steps in the courtyard outside the hall until the sky showed signs of transparency.
There was fog in the night, and there was also fog in this courtyard.
Looking at the dense fog that was hard to distinguish three steps in front of him, Wu Zhao, who had been sitting all night, his eyes reddened, stood up suddenly.
Wu An, who was still immersed in the complex emotions of losing his father, raised her head and looked at the abruptly acting boy.
The tall and tall young man walked down the stone steps in just two steps, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and called out: "Suijiang!"
"Subordinates are here." Suijiang, who was guarding the corridor not far away, stepped out quickly.
Wu Chao confessed: "The speed difference people go to the camps to inquire about any changes, and you must not take it lightly—"
The fog has risen too much, I am afraid that there will be some changes early...
Sui Jiang led the way.
However, just a quarter of an hour after the person left, an emergency report came to Wu Chao.
"Vice-General High sent someone to report, and the court soldiers suddenly attacked the city! General Wen has personally led the battle against the enemy!"
Wu An's face changed when he heard the words, and he stood up abruptly.
The court has attacked the city with soldiers and horses? !
How can it be so fast!
Wu Chao had just expected it, but there weren’t many accidents at the moment, so he immediately asked: "Where will the enemy attack?"
The soldiers reporting the letter felt that Shi Sun’s question was a bit strange. The imperial court’s soldiers and horses had always been stationed outside the south of the city, and the Nancheng Gate was the main gate of Ningyang City——
But he hurriedly replied: "Returning grandson, it's south! Now he has reached ten miles outside the southern military camp. While General Wen led the battle, he also made Vice Admiral Gao strengthen the defense at the southern city gate."
There are two lines of defense.
In such a foggy day and night, the soldiers on the camp were still able to detect movement in time, blocking the enemy from ten miles away, which shows that the camp has not relaxed its guard.
This has also benefited from the deployment and training in recent days.
Wu An was quite surprised: "...Their army Anza was a hundred miles away, and this time the raid was covered by heavy fog while traveling nearly a hundred miles at night!"
And the sky is not yet fully illuminated at the moment, such a marching speed is really rare.
"So it's not enough to be afraid." Wu Chao said: "At such a fast speed, you must do your best to march overnight. Soldiers and horses will inevitably be exhausted, and they will be defeated after a long battle—"
There are no gods behind the speed, which means that a lot of physical energy is spent.
The word “raid” is about surprises. One hit wins, and a surprise attack that is discovered ten miles away cannot be called a surprise attack.
"Yes, Lieutenant Gao also said that Shi Sun does not have to worry too much. If there is progress ahead, he will report it in time." The soldier said.
Wu Chao nodded.
The mist around the body has not dispersed, making people feel as if they are in a lost state.
Such an unrealistic environment will always give people a sense of uncertainty and unknown.
Looking at the diffuse mist, Wu Chao still felt a little uneasy.
"How many soldiers and horses did the opponent dispatch this time?"
has been carefully checked before, this time the imperial court rushed to Ningyang with 20,000 troops to negotiate peace. After the troops were stationed, they secretly garrisoned more than 40,000 troops from various places in Lincheng, and the total number of soldiers was less than 70,000.
70,000——
If it is a battle for one country, the seventy thousand army assembled is nothing.
But if used to siege a city, it is already a huge and dangerous number.
"The fog is really too big. It's fashionable and you can't see where the end of the opponent's army is, and the cavalry rushes to the front. The number of back-ups cannot be easily determined." The soldier said: "But the leader of the army is in He pretended to lie in front of the formation, claiming that he would invade the southern city gate before dark, and also used the slogan “You can take the city’s property after entering the city” to motivate the morale of the army! From this, Lieutenant Gao concluded that the opponent was afraid that all his troops would be deployed. , I want to attack the city with all my strength——"
Ningyang City is heavily defensive. There are heavy military camps on all sides, east, west, north and south. Due to the different levels of terrain, the distribution of troops is from heavier to lighter. The southern camp, where General Wen is seated, has always been the most rigorous defense.
If the court has been stationed for many days, how can there be no defense in the camp? Under this situation, the other party wants to invade the city before dark, I am afraid that it is not thinking of fart!
And they have found out in time, and now that General Wen resists the front, they have enough time to deploy troops to the south of the city to support.
Wu Chao naturally thought of what he could think of.
To attack the city from the south...
"Who is the leader of the opponent?" He asked again suddenly.
I couldn't see how many soldiers and horses there were for a while, but when the two armies were facing each other, the leader must be able to see clearly.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is the most basic thing. In the past few days, he took Ah Zhang to and from the barracks, and he has already felt the details of the court soldiers from the coach to the military division.
"Returning grandson, the leader of the army is the general named Hu. This person has always been arrogant and arrogant. It was this person who said that he wanted to enter the city before dark."
"Hu Kun?" Wu Chao frowned subconsciously: "Where is the deputy Ma Duanlian?"
After all these days of understanding, the coach named Hu Kun is indeed a brave man. On the contrary, the lieutenant surnamed Ma, on the contrary, has some tactics. The persuasive documents sent to the city came from this man. The hand of his hand, every word and every sentence can be seen as a person who is very good at forbearing and taking care of the whole situation-this is by no means a stupid person.
"Ma Duanlian? Although the villain is not close to the battlefield, he has never heard that this person is also..." The soldier thought for a while and said, "Or maybe in the back-up."
Wu Zhao thought for a few minutes, and immediately ordered Sui Jiang to prepare a horse.
is a matter of great importance, so the word "maybe" should not be included.
"Second brother is going to the army himself?!" Wu An quickly followed: "I will go with the second brother!"
He is also a person who is familiar with the art of war. Although he may not be able to help much, many people have many ideas-and it is related to the survival of Ningyang City. As a child of the Wu family, he has no reason to shrink his head and hide behind.
Wu Chao nodded, hurriedly stepped down, and asked some questions on the way.
Turned on the horse, but not to the south of the city, but all the way to the west.
Perceiving the boy's intention, Wu An fell in his heart.
West...
To the west of Ningyang City, there are several counties outside the city, backed by mountains. Because of this natural defense against the enemy, Xiying’s forces are also the weakest...
The foggy night is good for surprise attacks and night walks, and naturally it is also good for obscuring sight!
At the moment, I am afraid that the raid will be false. It’s true that I’m going to attack the west and transfer the troops of Ningyang City’s battalions to the south to defend against the enemy, and then wait for an opportunity to invade from the west!
——Only the west can make it through, from south to east across Ninghe, the enemy can only go west!
Although there are mountains obstructing the west, in the early years of the Wu family, in order to facilitate the people in the vicinity to travel and do business and to facilitate the people’s livelihood, there were also several flat mountain roads. The entrance of the mountain roads is easy to defend on weekdays, but the current heavy fog obscures the view and serves as a side effect. The attention is all in the south of the city, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be taken advantage of!
"Immediately send the order to the high lieutenant, and watch the changes temporarily. Don't rush to mobilize the battalion forces easily, so that it can be called at any time when the military situation is clear!"
"While defending the enemy from the south, quickly send pathfinders to investigate how many troops the opponent has dispatched, and whether there are any troops left in the battalion—"
"If the defense in the battalion is empty, you can send an elite cavalry to take the opportunity to destroy the tent, burn food and grass to cut off the way!"
On the way to Xiying on horseback, Wu Chao had already explained everything he could think of.
The current situation brooks no delay. If everything is done after the fog clears and reveals its true colors, I am afraid it will be too late.
Listening to this orderly arrangement, Wu An rode to Wu Zhao's side, and his heart was set a lot. The more at this time, the less chaos.
Once there is chaos, it will hit the enemy's arms and give the opponent a chance to get in.
The group of people did not stop without stopping. When they rushed to Xiying, the guard heard the news to greet the boy who dismounted, and was surprised.
How did the grandson and the eldest son come suddenly in person?
And this is the moment!
Half an hour ago, someone reported to him that the imperial army was attacking the city to the south, and the offensive was extremely urgent. He had all ordered his soldiers, and he waited for the order to arrive, and was dispatched to support him at any time!
"...The movement in the south of the city may be just a blind eye. General Lao Xiao immediately sent people to investigate the entrances of various mountain roads, which is strange!" Wu An said anxiously.
Shoujiang Xiao was startled.
After the reaction came back, I was so busy to follow suit, and then calmed down: "Don't worry, the old man, every entrance is guarded, and if there is any change, I will report it!"
Wu Chao does not fully agree.
Does it mean that there is no change if there is no report?
The number of guards is small. If he is the leader, in order to delay the time as much as possible, he may send a team of very skillful people to kill him with an assassin. After the possibility of the absolute party reporting the letter, he will send the army into the mountain.
At this time, the people who went to investigate have been sent out, so he didn't say anything else for the time being, just said: "Take the defense plan, can there be a sandbox in the camp?"
"Yes, all!" Xiao Shoujiang hurriedly led the way: "Please come down with the grandson and grandpa!"
Several people entered the camp of the winner, and after discussing it, they quickly decided on a strategy to defend against the enemy.
Although it may not be as expected, there is always nothing wrong with planning for the worst and the most comprehensive response.
"Report!"
At this time, the soldiers' urgent alarm sounded outside the camp.
The tent was beaten up, and the soldier quickly stepped into the tent, with an anxious expression: "The general, the grandson, and the entrances to the Xishan Mountain were broken by the enemy! I have seen the enemy's rough estimate that there are more than 30,000. I don’t know if there are enemy troops approaching in the mountains, and Qingsong County, which is next to the West Mountain, is almost impossible to defend right now!"
"What?!" Xiao Shoujiang's eyes stared sharply.
Really **** tricks!
Good fellow, he's still worrying about the situation in the south, co-authoring this has already hit him!
"...The grandson! It's the subordinate's weak defense!" Xiao Shou general Su Rong clasped his fists and asked: "Please lead your subordinates to defend against the enemy first, and then plead guilty afterwards!"
Wu Chao looked at him and said, "General Xiao only needs to act according to the plan he has just made, and be careful when facing the enemy!"
"Yes! Your subordinates obey!" Xiao Shou general immediately led his troops away.
The army is out of the camp, and the sound of horseshoes is as thick as a mountain, and the thick fog is scattered almost wherever it goes.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry who went to the battalions to report the military situation did not delay for a moment, and immediately scattered everywhere.
