Chapter 316 Death Fight

Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun were no longer able to sit still in Jiang Xujing's Zhenbei General's Mansion. With Jiang Xujing's series of extremely fierce decisions, they were dumbfounded, but they regained their great confidence in Jiang Xujing. The two of them had partly dispersed. If Jiang Xujing really wanted to divide their troops to garrison, they would not be sure of their own strength. However, they joined forces and mobilized almost all the military forces of the Zhenbei Army to fight to the death with the Yunzhou army. This situation was what they liked. More than 200,000 troops vs. more than 100,000 troops? This almost doubled the gap made them feel a little relieved. When the army under Ye Tao arrived at Guiyuan and could see Guiyi City, they expected that Ye Tao had consumed a lot of troops along the way.

Although the Zhenbei Army Office gave up all the way, abandoning the towns that should not be able to defend does not mean that they let go of the Yunzhou army so easily. It is impossible to say that the Yunzhou army is advancing too fast, and the Yunzhou army often advances by several battalions, and there are almost no pauses. Under this crushing attack, the Zhenbei Army Office really does not have much time and energy to do things to clear the walls, but they emptied some major granaries, burned them away, polluted water sources, sent to spread rumors and even sent people to assassinate them through the Snake Eye of Emperor Daoming, which made the entire Zhenbei Army Office covered in clouds.

Jiang Xujing frequently summoned the generals to discuss various decisive battle preparations with everyone. What is crucial is that Jiang Xujing really convinced the escort army to defend Guiyi City to the death. He will lead the army out of the city to find an opportunity to fight. Everyone was told from the beginning that this was not a conspiracy. After two days of scrambling on the battlefield, they would know what the situation was, that is, forcing Ye Tao to fight with his own side with limited troops. The victory was decided in this battle. Although Jiang Xujing and everyone were also very concerned about it.

I wonder if I have the ability to launch a counterattack against Yunzhou, but at least the Zhenbei Army Office has been saved, and Yunzhou will not have the ability to attack externally for at least five to ten years. Naturally, with such great achievements, Jiang Xujing will no longer be just a general, but will have to establish a general in the north... In fact, it is not much different from his current authority, but it is just a name. Naturally, at that time, he also wants to expand his army and prepare for war and control the largest and most powerful military group in the entire Xiling.

If you lose, the result is very simple. If you can run away, you can find a way to run away. If you can't run away, you can only wait to die. Although Yunzhou's treatment is very good after capturing the prisoners, it seems to depend on whether they are willing to capture the prisoners. A certain unit of Tieyunqi has already understood that Suo Zheng's logistics operation is difficult. When his opponent's dismissal of the weapon money, he wiped out a team of more than 2,000 people, and the level of success in the war is jaw-dropping.

Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun came to see Jiang Xujing for how many soldiers they could send in the battle. According to Jiang Xujing's idea, the two of them had to gather 30,000 elite cavalry and roughly the same number of "cannon fodder troops", Jiang Xujing had gathered 40,000 elite cavalry, 20,000 miscellaneous cavalry and more than 30,000 other various troops, as well as the original Zhao Li army, which was now handed over to Jiang Xujing's nephew Jiang Chong, and in addition, the 10,000 cavalry supported by northern Korka and other tribes. Jiang Chong had no cannon fodder soldiers in his hand, which seriously affected Jiang Xujing's strategy of using cannon fodder to consume the physical strength, energy and morale of the Yunzhou army, and then relying on the elite soldiers to decide the victory and defeat.

Yes, Jiang Xujing handed over the other military forces that could be gathered, including those horse thieves who were included in the Zhenbei Army Division or were only temporarily incorporated, to Jiang Chong. In Guiyi City, the escort army actually expanded the escort army's forces to guard Guiyi City by relying on the gathering of believers and simple weapons. Now the escort army has gathered 300,000 troops. Although only half of them are listed in the catalog of the million-strong army in Xiling, the lineup is indeed huge. Although it was temporarily organized, the morale is quite high and we are just waiting for a big battle.

Sitting in the main hall for a while, finally, Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun, Jiang Xujing's arms were invited in. In just two days, Jiang Xujing's spirit was even worse. For those officers who commanded hundreds or thousands of people, perhaps what they need to worry about is training, morale, supplies and other relatively small levels. When fighting, they are nothing more than using the limited troops in their hands to make the greatest tactical use. But at Ni Sigui, Jia Qingyun and even Jiang Xujing, what they need to pay more attention to is the overall changes, especially Jiang Xujing. It will take at least two to three days for the military intelligence documents sent to the court to receive a reply, but in less than half a month,

Almost half of the Zhenbei Army Army fell into the Yunzhou army and Ye Tao. This speed was far beyond everyone's expectations. Now, the troops were gathered on Guiyuan, a small area of ​​the entire Zhenbei Army Army, which was the most prosperous, prosperous and most vigilant, and the large area of ​​land was empty and allowed to be occupied by the Yunzhou army to achieve a battle goal: to disperse the Yunzhou army's military, lengthen the Yunzhou supply line, and make the Yunzhou army tired. However, Jiang Xujing was not sure at all at this moment, and what he did was right. Once the battle of Guiyuan failed, if he could survive and return to the court, what was waiting for him would be dismissal from office and to be punished.

"You are here, let you wait for a while," Jiang Xujing faced Ni Sigui. Jia Qingyun and the others entered his study. The servant immediately held the steaming tea. Jiang Xujing was not good at tea, so the tea he ate was the kind of brick tea in the army. But since it was here in Jiang Xujing, even if he cooked grass leaves, no one would say badly. "I just ordered the four teams of elite cavalry to set off and prepare to raid the other party's supplies and food transportation. What are you... here to do?"

Ni Sigui stood up and clasped his fists and said, "The Grand Marshal, the last general and General Jia came together for the battle matters mentioned by the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal, Guiyuan is the essence of our Zhenbei Army Office, and Guiyi City is an important town that has been operated by the Zhenbei Army Office for many years. The Grand Marshal, we all support the battle, but if we want to fight, it is better to fight early. Otherwise, the Yunzhou army will be rampant, and even if we win the battle in the end, the prosperity of Guiyuan will not be a few years, and it will be restored in more than ten years."

Jiang Xujing waved his hand and said, "Sit down... I know a little bit about your two opinions on me dividing elite soldiers and ordinary troops. Everyone wants to be placed on the elite soldiers, but they don't want to be ahead and use their lives to build a chance of victory for our North Army Office in the North. But... I don't know how dangerous it is to let the Yunzhou army come in, and return to the original... It is also my hard work. It is not what I am willing to do if I rely on life to make the Yunzhou army exhaust.

What about love? These men and women have followed me. We have been with them for so many years, and there are many veterans and newcomers. We may not be very brave in wars, but I can’t bear to do anything I usually do. However, fighting with the Yunzhou army, it feels like... Although we have been fighting for decades, facing the young generals and officials of the Yunzhou army, it seems that we don’t know how to fight. Arms, training, morale...

We are all quite different. If we hadn't had such a big advantage in military strength, I wouldn't have chosen to fight. In fact, although we have the advantage of our military strength, I really don't know what will happen when we fight. Being able to fight with the Yunzhou army can indeed avoid those terrifying sulphur bombs, but the Yunzhou army has distinct armor and sharp weapons, which is far better than ours. What I hope is that because of these heavy armor and weapons, the opponent will be tired faster. After Ye Tao was in charge, the Yunzhou army has never fought with manpower. I also hope that after suffering considerable losses, the young people of the Yunzhou army will be impatient, unable to hold back, and feel depressed, and the morale of the Yunzhou army will fall. Of course, this is just my wishful thinking, and it depends on whether such a thing will happen when the real war is really a war. But in this chaos, it is what we old guys are good at, right?"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xujing's face, and his vigorous and tired face became vivid. "I only ask you a few things: one, have you divided your troops? Two, can those ordinary soldiers dare to fight to the death? Three, are you determined to bring the whole army in and fight for a miserable victory... If you can win, our Zhenbei Army Department can at least maintain peace for ten years, fifteen years or even longer in the direction of Dongping. We have a lot of time to reorganize the army to deal with the future. Of course,

Maybe none of us have done this kind of thing at that age. But we at least have a great victory and returned to the field. If the court did put in a hard work, we should know that the army in Yunzhou is really strong, and in the future, our Xiling army will gradually become like that. As long as we can survive this year... Now, the south is under Chunnan's attack and deal with it very weakly. There will be no troops to support us in a short period of time. We can only rely on ourselves to win this battle at all costs."

Jiang Xujing's words touched Ni Sigui and Jia Qingyun a lot. Jiang Xujing is indeed a very real person. Indeed, when it comes to fame and fame, he is indeed very important, but who is not like this? But at this time, Jiang Xujing confessed these things to them, after all, he treated them as arms and confidants.
