Turbulent Times Chapter 1508: This is a conspiracy and a conspiracy

After a while, Xu Shiji coughed and said: "Now Huangshizhai and Fengyang City are lost, and the army led by Mi Gong has surrounded Fengyang City, but according to the report from the spies, the Poison King is in Fengyang City, where Mi Gong is." I want to take back Fengyang City...I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a while. Moreover, as the poison king, he actually stayed in Fengyang City and let our Wagang army surround it. This thing is really weird. I always feel that What conspiracy does the Poison King have? He intends to delay me and Duke Mi to lead the main force of the Wagang Army to Xiaohedao Mountain Pass and Fengyang City, so I already intend to retreat."

Jia Yunfu stood up abruptly, and said in disbelief, "Brother Xu, retreat? Now that we can't take back the small river, it's hard to realize the plan that Mi Gong made back then."

Xu Shiji's cheeks twitched, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Hasn't the supervising army noticed yet? The Poison King obviously doesn't have to come, let alone stay in Fengyang City, surrounded by the army of Migong, But he did this anyway. His purpose was to use himself as a bait to lure the main force of our army to leave Wagangzhai early. Although I don't know what Wang Junlin will do in the future. But I think we can still survive if we retreat now. Strength, waiting for a comeback. If the tempting bait sticks out from the sharp hook under it, we...the remaining 40,000 people and the 150,000 army led by Mi Gong may become his chopping block The meat on the table is slaughtered!"

Jia Fuyun took a deep breath, stared at Xu Shiji for a long time, and then asked darkly: "If I didn't follow Mi Gong's order, if I wait to retreat, Mi Gong will blame it, who will bear it?"

Xu Shiji sighed, and said: "Then, according to Lord Supervisor, how should we make a decision now."

Then Jia Fuyun hesitated. After all, he was just a confidant of Li Mi's. Usually, relying on Li Mi's power, he called Xu Shiji Brother Xu, but he knew what qualifications he had, and he didn't know how to lead troops to fight. It was the third person in the Wagang Army, and he was also the commander of the soldiers and horses. He said that it is time to retreat, which should be reasonable.

It's just that he was loyal to Li Mi, thinking that before they sent troops, Li Mi secretly told him that if Wang Junlin showed any signs of subduing Xu Shiji, he would use Li Mi's secret arrangements around Xu Shiji to directly kill Xu Shiji.

In Jia Yunfu's view, Xu Shiji looked calm during the day, and even seemed confident, but after capturing a prisoner of the Far Eastern Army at night, he thought of retreating, which made the always suspicious Jia Yunfu immediately suspicious .

But at this time, he really didn't know how to refute Xu Shiji's words. As for using Li Mi's hidden son beside Xu Shiji to kill Xu Shiji at this time, he also thought that the time was not ripe.

Thinking like this, Jia Fuyun thought of a compromise and said: "Tomorrow, we will attack again across the board. If we can't capture the army stronghold again, our supervising army will agree to retreat."

Xu Shiji cursed inwardly, feeling a little reconciled in his heart, thinking that since Jia Yunfu came out to take the blame for the heavy losses, he would just push him again, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then follow the supervisor's wishes , Tomorrow we will attack with all our strength for the last time, and if we still cannot break through the enemy's stronghold, we will retreat."

Everyone promised with a loud bang.

After the Wagang military meeting, half an hour later, in the tent of the Far Eastern Army commander at Xiaohedao Mountain Pass opposite, Wang Junlin held a military report just sent by Shen Guoer in his hand, and said with admiration: "Xu Shiji really deserves his reputation. , even vaguely aware of our plan, and want to retreat early tomorrow."

Li Jing also looked condensed, nodded and said: "What the lord said is very true. These days, I have been defending and attacking this person. Although our army has fewer casualties than the opponent because of the advantages of geographical location and weapons and equipment, from now on Judging from the situation in which he dispatched troops and generals, and the bravery of the Wagang Inner Battalion trained by Xu Shiji, this person is indeed a handsome talent."

Wang Junlin nodded slightly, expressing his deep understanding of what Li Jing said, and frowned: "If Xu Shiji is asked to withdraw his troops and join forces with Li Mi in Fengyang City, and one of them returns to Wagang Village to sit in command, then we There will be variables in the plan."

Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he said: "My lord, I will lead the troops to take the initiative to attack tomorrow, or let Xu Shiji see the possibility of breaking through the defense of the small river in a short time, and I think Xu Shiji will stay. "

Wang Junlin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "With Xu Shiji's shrewdness, if you do this, you won't have three hundred taels of silver here. This will make the other party more suspicious, and I'm afraid they will retreat more decisively and quickly."

Li Jing thought for a while, and it was true, he frowned and remained silent.

Wang Junlin pondered for a while, then smiled and said to Shen Guo'er: "Guo'er, you tried to send an order to our Anzi in the Wagang Army on the opposite side overnight, letting them spread the word that Xu Shiji had secretly contacted me, and I want to make him a great general, Xu Shiji has already agreed."

Shen Guoer's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed.

Li Jing was shocked, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise, I heard that Li Mi sent a supervisor to Xu Shiji's side. As soon as the news spread among Xu Shiji's troops, Xu Shiji wanted to retreat immediately in order to prove his innocence. Difficult."

But Wang Junlin shook his head again and said: "Xu Shiji has a very high prestige in the Wagang Army, even higher than Li Mi, and this person is extremely decisive in his actions. If it is just these rumors, it may not be able to force him to change his mind."

After a pause, Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Li Jing, early tomorrow morning, you will arrange for someone to fly my flag out of the two military camps, so that the Wagang Army on the opposite side will know that I have come here .”

Li Jing said with a look of admiration: "Your Majesty's move is extremely clever. In this way, Xu Shiji must be beaten."

……

……

Early the next morning, after Xu Shiji learned of the rumors that suddenly appeared in the army overnight, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

In particular, Jia Yunfu's strange eyes made Xu Shiji, who is very good at nourishing Qi, feel an evil fire in his heart.

Damn it, anyone with a little brain can see that this is Wang Junlin's plan to divide, okay?

Besides, Xu Shiji knew very well that there was obviously a dark son of the Far Eastern Army among his men, and this person was not low-status, and he was even one of the people who participated in the military meeting last night, otherwise he just showed the intention of retreating last night I mean, I have responded to convenience, and it is such a vicious divisive plan.

But Xu Shiji is very clear that this kind of thing can't be explained at all, it will only become darker and darker, so he just glanced at Jia Fuyun indifferently, without saying any explanation, but ordered to a confidant general: " Go and find out where the source of this rumor is, and bring someone to me."

General Navagang agreed and left in a hurry.

Xu Shiji said again: "The more the Far Eastern Army wants me to stay and fight Xiaohekou, the more it means that my guess last night was correct, so I originally wanted to fight again today last night, but I don't want to fight now. Prepare to retreat immediately."

Jia Yunfu immediately said loudly: "Brother Xu, if you don't fight at this time..."

"Shut up! What are you, you can call Brother Xu." Xu Shiji yelled violently, interrupting Jia Yunfu's words.

Jia Yunfu was so shocked that he was too frightened to say anything, because he found that Xu Shiji's personal soldiers and generals in the tent were all looking at him coldly. He had no doubt that as long as Xu Shiji gave an order, there would be countless people Jumped on him and killed him.

Jia Yunfu's face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but he was terrified in his heart, so he didn't speak in the end. He glanced at the person Li Mi arranged next to Xu Shiji from the corner of his eye, and saw that the person's expression was not the same as that of the others. No matter what, I couldn't help thinking that if Xu Shiji had the intention of rebellion, this person wondered if he could obey Li Mi's order, and suddenly shot Xu Shiji to death.

At this time, Xu Shiji's personal soldiers rushed in and reported: "General Manager, the poison king's flag has been erected in the two camps of the Far Eastern Army."

The expressions of everyone in the tent changed, but Xu Shiji thought more, so his expression changed several times.

Jia Yunfu was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "When the chief executive saw the appearance of the poison king, he disregarded Mi Gong's original plan and directly retreated..."

Jia Yunfu didn't finish his sentence, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that in this situation, it depends on how Xu Shiji retreats.

Because he has already noticed that with the appearance of Wang Junlin in the opposite Far East Army, when some generals in the army looked at Xu Shiji, their eyes were a little different.

This is of course the result of the combined effect of the rumors that appeared overnight and Wang Junlin's sudden appearance on the opposite side.

Xu Shiji took all the generals out of the tent, looked at Wang Junlin's flag in person, and carefully observed the two military villages with a telescope bought from the black market in Fanyang County. The person clustered in the middle looked exactly like the poisoned king he had seen in the portrait.

Wang Junlin, who was supposed to be in Fengyang City, actually came here. After Xu Shiji was silent for a while, he said: "Between Dongshan and Xishan, the Far Eastern Army clearly dug a passage directly to let all the defenses between the two mountains. /

The line is connected, and we are slow to deploy troops to form an array, but they are quick to deploy troops through this passage. In a short time, they mobilize manpower from other places and concentrate their forces to attack us. Therefore, I think we should spread our stance and fight across the board, so that we can mobilize all the manpower we can, and attack together from all fronts, don't be afraid of casualties, and make sure they don't have time to spare. After all, our manpower is four or five times that of theirs. "

As soon as the generals heard this, they knew that the chief executive had no plans to retreat, but after this toss, the generals hesitated a little. This in itself is a powerful deterrent.

What's more, the scale attack of one-third or half of the troops is now within the controllable range, and the casualties will not be too large. Once the attack is made across the board, it may cause heavy casualties.

Xu Shiji waved his hand to interrupt the generals who were about to speak and retort, and said in a deep voice: "These days, I was too worried about the heavy casualties, so I never dared to attack across the board, but failed to bring out our superiority in numbers. Hmm ...…… Send the order to go down and prepare to attack across the board."

"Also, the earth wall of the Far Eastern Army's second line of defense is only more than one foot high, and the trench is only more than one foot wide. Things. So we can’t attack the city from the bottom of the ditch. We can just build wooden planks across the ditch, and then set up short city ladders, which is very convenient to carry. In short, our Wagang Army has a superior number. Standing up, their giant crossbows, gunpowder packs, or troops are naturally not enough."

………

………

On the head of the Walled City of the Eastern Army of the Far Eastern Army, Wang Junlin watched the Wagang Army begin to mobilize troops on a large scale.

After he, Li Jing and others observed through binoculars, they easily judged that Xu Shiji not only stopped retreating, but also wanted to attack across the board.

"My lord, now the Wagang army is attacking across the board, please show me your lord." Li Jing bowed and begged for orders.

Wang Junlin waved his hand and said, "You are the commander-in-chief here, you can figure it out!"

"I will follow your orders." Li Jing agreed, then returned to the position of commander-in-chief, and immediately dispatched troops and generals to arrange subordinates.

The Wagang Army attacked across the board. He had to ensure that each section of the defense line was guarded by a certain number of giant crossbows, catapults, gunpowder packs, and engineers from the engineer battalion.

At the same time, he also squeezed out 2,000 reserves, ready to support and make up for losses at any time.

At the same time, let the engineering and supply battalion seize the last time to lay traps and mines.

Wang Junlin knew that he was no match for Li Jing in deploying troops on specific battlefields, so he did not participate in any of them.

The Wagang army first set up a fire to cook, and after they were full, the offensive began not long after.

Wagang Army’s offensive preparations cannot be fooled by the Far Eastern Army. The spies who have been monitoring the other party immediately notified the other armies. Horns sounded from the defense lines of the two military camps of the Far Eastern Army, and the Far Eastern Army soldiers who had just had breakfast rushed to their respective positions post.

Everyone on the defense line was busy. Batches of gunpowder packs and grenades were transported from the rear, distributed to the engineer and supply battalion, and brought to various sections of the earth wall. Some people were debugging the catapult and the giant crossbow. There is a tense atmosphere everywhere.

The sound of horns continuously came from the Wagang Army, indicating that the Wagang Army was already gathering troops.

Wang Junlin has been standing at the head of the Eastern Army Walled City, quietly looking at the battlefield in front of him. There are still puffs of cooking smoke from the enemy and us, which have not completely dissipated in the air, casting a hazy layer on the battlefield. veil.

Wang Junlin raised his head and looked at the white belly in the sky. The morning sun was about to rise, and the first beam of morning light was about to shine on the earth.

In the thin morning light, the Wagang Army in the distance came out of the camp one after another, and a stream of people merged into the sea of ​​people outside the camp. Countless shield vehicles came to the front line driven by soldiers. Looking down from the top of the mountain, it looks like countless moving toys.

Under the unified dispatch of Xu Shiji and the specific command of officers at all levels, the Wagang Army spread out along the defense lines of the two military villages, starting from Dongshan in the east and ending in Xishan in the west, forming a long formation. A moving wooden wall also formed a follow-up echelon, which can be seen very clearly from the east mountain, showing that they will launch a continuous attack.

"My lord, the Wagang army is indeed going to attack across the board, and Xu Shiji wants to do his best." Shen Guoer said quietly after watching through the binoculars.

Wang Junlin smiled slightly, and said: "Xu Shiji is more decisive than I expected."
