1416 Arrival at Guangzong at night
Huan Yi finally failed to stop Jin Xuangong. Although Jin Xuangong did not agree with his decision to send Pan Jia out, although there was a difference in military and political affairs, it was also the respect between two young men with their own opinions in Xingtai.
When the messenger left, Jin Xuangong also passed on his decision to capture Shangbai back to the rear, so there was no way out. Of course, he also understood that the general Hu Run led thousands of troops and the counter-offensive forces had long been in charge. It was impossible for him to change because of his unknown single-point breakthrough. However, since he had made up his mind, he would never give up if he didn't give up.
After that, while it was still some time before dawn, Jin Xuangong began to select soldiers to prepare for troops. Qu Zhou naturally could not give up. Although the city was short and difficult to hold on, without this city, they, the royal army and the rural people in the city, would become the target of wanton slaughter of the Jie army in this area.
What's more, the focus of this attack on Shangbai was to break through the air sect by surprise. There was actually no essential difference between 500 soldiers or 1,000 soldiers.
In the end, there were more than 600 soldiers who chose to follow Jin Xuangong to attack. Of course, there were more soldiers who were willing to attack. They were besieged by the Jie army for more than a month. Everyone was embarrassed and angry and eager to fight. However, this trip was too dangerous, and Jin Xuangong also needed to leave some of the soldiers guarding the city for Huan Yi.
These people were on standby at the city with one bow, one knife and one pot of arrows, and they were on standby at the city. Jin Xuangong gave an explanation to Huan Yixiao, who was left behind. In fact, there was nothing to explain. Whether they were left behind or attacking, they were fighting with their lives. After that, the crowd rushed into the thick night without hesitation, without even any generous and heroic slogans.
More than 600 people were infantrymen. Although they were called surprise soldiers, it was still uncertain whether they could truly collect the effects of surprise soldiers. Once they were discovered by the Jie army scouts who were haunted in the countryside, their attack could be said to have fallen into the trap.
But probably because the Meng family's stronghold in the south of Quzhou City had changed a little and confused the enemy. After Jin Xuangong and his party left Quzhou County, they had not met the scouts of the Jie army for nearly an hour.
Even with the scouts of the Jie army, the dark night greatly restricted the scope of their supervision. More than 600 people rushed into the wilderness, saying that the movement was big or small. Unless they happened to run head-on, the possibility that they would be discovered was not that big.
In short, from the nearly hour to dawn, with the dawn breaking east, the dawn light was faint and the vision gradually became wider. Jin Xuangong and others successfully entered the sawara. There were dense forests and weeds around them covering their whereabouts, and the scouts of the Jie army would not leave the wilderness and enter it for boring searches.
The scenery in the wild lake is boring and there is no mature path to follow. Although two guides were selected from Quzhou City, the guidance they can play is very limited.
The group of people is determined to achieve great achievements. If they are lost in the wilderness, it would be too ironic. Therefore, while keeping their secret progress, Jin Xuangong dared not deviate from the wilderness too far. Fortunately, in the sky in autumn, he pointed out the direction of his progress. Even if there is a deviation, it should not be too far.
If you sneak for a day, you should be about to reach Shangbai in terms of distance, but in fact, there is no conspicuous city camp and garrison in what you see in your vision.
Shangbai is a relatively special existence in Jie Kingdom. Although this state is nominally under the jurisdiction of Jie Kingdom, the Jie Kingdom did not establish a clear county and county bureau system here, because this state was divided into the habitat of the Qihuo Army in the past year. The Qihuo Army was a relatively independent force in Jie Kingdom. Even in the heyday of Shi Le, the first ruler of Jie Kingdom, he did not dare to be too neglected to the Qihuo Army.
With the death of Shi Le, the first lord of Jie Kingdom, the overall Jie Kingdom fell into civil strife, and a large number of elite soldiers were consumed. The status of the Qihu Army, who was wandering outside these disputes, became even more prominent, and became one of the few soldiers under the command of Shi Hu, the Jie Kingdom.
Of course, the main force of the Qihuo Army has been transferred from the battlefield and is not in the territory, but it has also retained considerable left-behind power. However, this force is difficult for even the Jie Lord Shi Hu to control it freely, let alone Shi Min, the rising star in the Jie Kingdom.
A negative impact of the relative independence of the Qihuo Army was that this area, including Shangbai and Guangzong, was a blind spot in intelligence for the Wangshi. Even the Jie County and County cities they conquered were unable to find any pictures of this realm.
As for the marching map used by Jin Xuangong, it was actually some geographical information that the Fenwu Army had when it was rampant in this territory last year. However, when the Fenwu Army was on an expedition alone, it was impossible for the Fenwu Army to lower its pace and carefully explore the geographical situation. The map drawn based on the marching route was naturally detailed and omissions were inevitable.
Although Jin Xuangong was very cautious during the march and carefully identified various landscape landmarks along the way, because he wanted to hide his whereabouts, it was impossible for the soldiers to scatter out to determine the location. So after nightfall, he was still a little discouraged and worried about the situation. They were indeed lost in the wild sieve and no longer knew where they were now!
what to do?
The fact that you get lost can only be hidden in your heart and must not be revealed to the soldiers. This is not because you don’t believe in your subordinates, but because the more people know about this kind of thing, the worse your morale will be, and it will be useless at all.
Fortunately, Jin Xuangong himself is not a pampered Chinese family. He has many experiences in leading his troops in Liaodong in the past year. The geographical conditions of Liaodong are much more complex and harsh than those of Hebei. It is definitely not a rare thing to lose direction during the march.
Therefore, even though he has determined that he is unfavorable to start the army, Jin Xuangong can still remain calm. He even has leisure to joke and motivate the soldiers around him. It is not necessary to stagnate. Even the rest during the march must follow the previous rhythm, and only by working harder to identify and adjust the direction during the journey.
The reason why he can still maintain this is not only because Jin Xuangong himself has enough concentration and is not panic when encountering problems, but also because he considers the actual situation.
Their journey may have a certain deviation, but generally follows the direction of the northward direction. The straight line distance between Shangbai and the curved circumference is only fifty or sixty miles. Although there have not been traces left by the assembly of large players so far, it can be confirmed that Shangbai is definitely not far away.
Shangbai is the temporary base camp of the Jie army under Shi Min's army. It is impossible for there to be no defense setting around. Their royal division team has penetrated into this direction and has not been discovered or discovered. It also indirectly confirms the accuracy of the news that Shangbai's current defense is weak!
From this we can see that Jin Xuangong's tactical decision to take the risk to attack Shangbai was correct, but there was a deviation in the specific implementation process. Fortunately, this is not an irreversible mistake. As long as Shangbai's accurate position is found, they will surely make contributions in this trip.
Thinking of this, the excitement on Jin Xuangong's face was not entirely disguised. It has to be said that sometimes optimism is a very valuable inner strength. At least so far, Jin Xuangong's heart is still full of certainty, and he is even much more determined than when he set out from Qu Zhou before.
"Let's rest for a while and wait until the night continues to go on the road."
After entering a fairly open dry river valley in the wild zodiac, Jin Xuangong looked up at the cold sky with only a few cold stars flashing, and ordered in a low voice. He had an old disease. Although he did not bump in the war horses along the way, the pain was unbearable at this time. But he just gritted his teeth and persevered. After stopping, a fine cold sweat had already emerged from his forehead. In this cold ambition in late autumn, it seemed a bit strange.
The soldiers sat up on the ground, took out the dry food from the marching, and swallowed it with their teeth and teeth. In addition to not making loud noises, some people couldn't help but discuss in a low voice: "If this trip can be achieved and conquered the thief's nest of the Jie army, how many a master should be obtained?"
Jin Xuangong served as the commander of the army, and was the leader who had broken through the siege and died earlier. He had not yet established a strong prestige with his soldiers. Because he was also paying attention to seizing opportunities to communicate with his soldiers on weekdays, he laughed and said, "The military system of rewards on the Taiwan Strait has been changed. In the future, regardless of the 12-turn military merits, each will have its own position. When facing the enemy, you will have your own position. When you face the enemy, you will have your own position. If you can get the merits, you will be able to attack the enemy from the distance. If you can kill the prisoner multiples, you will be able to get the upper hand. If you go to the battlefield, you will be able to get the upper hand. If you can get the upper hand, you will be able to get the upper hand. If you can get the upper hand, you will be able to get the upper hand. If you can get the upper hand, you can get the upper hand. At least four to five turns of merits. In other words, if the war goes well later, I and you will have the hope of winning the honors to the Knights."
When the soldiers heard this, they all became excited and came to Jin Xuangong and asked carefully what the so-called high and low position meant. Some people were a little confused and complained that such a plan was not as clear as the old A sect.
Jin Xuangong patiently explained the different meanings of these medals. The fourth-transferred cavalry lieutenant is regarded as the sixth rank. In addition to the money and silk rewards it should have, there is also a certain reward for the field. More importantly, as long as it is transferred to the fifth-transferred cavalry lieutenant, he can be given a son's position. At the same time, if he is transferred to the people, he can also be exempted from officials and granted village affairs to the community. This is the real official.
When everyone heard this, they were all excited and gradually realized the value of this reincarnation. If they marched alone and rushed straight to the enemy's base camp, they could accumulate five reincarnations after success, but in fact, not everyone has such opportunities and experiences. At least tens of thousands of people from the Yanzhou Military Palace have been north for more than a few months, and there are very few who can truly get five reincarnations. Now this opportunity is in front of them!
After resting for half an hour, the soldiers gradually recovered their strength and were inspired by military merits. When they set off again, they were a little lighter.
After walking forward for more than an hour, the vision ahead suddenly shook, and a large ball of fire finally appeared at the end of the shadow of the weeds and trees. After seeing this, Jin Xuangong's expression suddenly shook and quickly stepped forward to identify it carefully. The fire spread across the surface and formed a line, vaguely outlining a light and shadow of the city.
Chapter completed!
