MTL - Back Off, Let Me Come-Chapter 740 : Start (Part 2) [Ask for a monthly ticket]
Shen Tang's proposal met with collective opposition as soon as it came out.
Including Xie Qi who is not good at this.
He knew that Shen Tang liked to send out surprise soldiers, and Cunshan City was deceived by her saucy operation. Although the Art of War also says: Therefore, those who are good at making surprises are as infinite as heaven and earth, and as inexhaustible as rivers and seas. But it also shows that this person likes to take a slanted sword and has a radical and bold personality.
Amazing soldiers, behind the high returns are high risks. This move is like walking on a high-altitude rope, if you are not careful, you will fall to pieces!
Chu Yao gently persuaded, first affirming that Shen Tang’s idea is indeed unconstrained and bold, but then pointing out the problem: “We are not familiar with the law of the Miaojiang flood season. If the river water rises rapidly when dispatching troops, it may be dangerous.”
The key is that the water quality of your own side is not very good.
It’s just a few strokes of the dog in the water, and it’s a level where you can’t drown.
If they choose Shen Tang's plan, they are not fighting the enemy, but going to the gambling table to compete with God.
With the debuff of Kang Jishou, don't.
Steady, don't wave!
Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen and others also nodded in response to Chu Yao.
At this moment, Luan Xin keenly noticed that Gu Chi was silent, and couldn't help frowning slightly—I don't know if Gu Chi didn't want to openly oppose and upset the lord, or did he keep silent because he heard the lord's heart? Either way, it's more or less suspected of trickery.
Shen Tang waited patiently for their speech to end, stood up expressionlessly, and borrowed his saber from the nearest Chu Yao, and with a swipe sound, the long sword came out of its sheath. Xie Qi's complexion also darkened immediately, and his heart was pounding with anxiety. He has worked under Zheng Qiao for so many years, and the other party drew his sword and killed those who disagreed with each other, leaving an infinite shadow on the young minds of the workers.
This new protagonist...
I haven’t heard of her violent reputation.
Xie Qi forcibly resisted the urge to run.
"My method is different from what you think."
Xie Qi's fearful slashing didn't happen, Shen Tang flexed his wrist slightly, and the long sword turned into a white light in the air, and after a muffled sound, it sank into a wooden pillar very silkily. Half of the sword body is inside the wooden pillar, and half of the sword body is exposed outside the wooden pillar.
Stretched out his finger and flicked the blade.
said: "Here, that's it."
Of course she knows that the flood season is dangerous. If a group of poor water quality encounters a sudden surge of river water, they will be washed away without even seeing the enemy's back. Therefore, Shen Tang never thought about going into the water and marching.
"Taking Yuanyuan as an example, it is very easy to drive weapons into the stone walls of the river bank. Let's use weapons to make a temporary plank road and step on it all the way. The Miaojiang River is in the flood season, and the enemy should know this better than us. Therefore, this time Even if there are eyes and ears watching, it is not as thorough as other places. The riverside stone wall will be the most natural cover, and the movement of the river can cover up our movements."
Worried about the Miaojiang skyrocketing in a short period of time?
The position should be higher.
"By the way, you don't need to bring too many people with you on this trip."
Shen Tang did not intend to surround the rear with a large-scale force. The target was too large, which would easily arouse the enemy's alertness, and the temporary plank road was too simple and rough. It would take a certain amount of skill to pass through, and ordinary soldiers might not be able to do it. This requires that they must be elite!
"That's it, flanking front and back, a quick victory!"
All fighters win by right combination and by surprise.
And Shen Tang likes unsure surprise soldiers!
She looked around at everyone: "What do you guys think?"
Chu Yao and the others thought about it and finally nodded.
"It works, that's great."
After the plan is finalized, it is necessary to determine how the two groups of people will be arranged and who will lead them. It's just that this topic hasn't started yet, Shen Tang raised his hand early, and said enthusiastically: "Let me lead the way of Qibing, Yuan Yuan will lead the troops to lead the way, and do it head-on!"
She arranged Wei Shou clearly in a few words.
As the saying goes, "It's going to rain, the mother is going to get married, and the lord is going to go to the battlefield." These are inevitable and unstoppable things, and Chu Yao and others naturally have no objections. The most important thing is that the master and Wei Shou are the top fighters on our side. At this time, the troops are divided into two groups to attack the enemy. Without the top fighters to lead the team, it will be difficult to boost morale and increase unnecessary battle losses.
But Xie Qi was obviously facing this situation for the first time.
He has something to say!
It’s just that he was naturally tactful and couldn’t speak without everyone’s objection, so he suppressed his emotions and asked Ning Yan in a low voice: “…As the saying goes, ‘A gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall’, the situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and it seems that the lord will take risks in person… Doesn't it seem appropriate? Why don't Tunan try to persuade you?"
My lord, she is still a literary scholar.
But as soon as these words came out, Ning Yan looked at Xie Qi with a strange look, and she also lowered her voice and said, "You haven't heard of the 16th-class student under Zheng Qiao's tent... remember what Jiang Ao is called?" Yes, who killed it with his own hands?"
Xie Qi: "Of course I have heard of Jiang Ao's death."
According to the news he heard, Jiang Aona's reckless man seriously underestimated his opponent because of his arrogance, and after a long hard fight, he couldn't win the two fifteenth-rank young masters from the coalition army. He was restrained by two people, and in the end he was beheaded by one of the young generals.
Listen—
The 16th-class master was decapitated by the 15th-class junior master!
Zheng Qiao almost set off the palace when he received the news. Xie Qi took sick leave for a few days to avoid this lunatic, and at the same time, he did not forget to cast aside Jiang Ao, a big parallel importer. Those who get promoted through the back door are indeed not as reliable as those who get promoted through the ground.
"But what does this have to do with the lord taking the risk?"
It’s not that Xie Qi’s brain is not big enough, it’s that Shen Tang’s intelligence is normal, and she dislikes wearing the Wenxin monogram and the Wudan Tiger Talisman at the same time, it’s too heavy, and it’s uncomfortable to fall, so basically she only wears the Wenxin monogram. Therefore, in Xie Qi's view, his lord is a literary scholar with a lower level of literary heart than himself, with a refined and gentle personality, yet resolute and decisive.
As for other gossip, Xie Qi had also vaguely heard of it, but he always felt that the rumors were distorted, so he didn't take it seriously.
Ning Yan said: "Jiang Ao was beheaded by the lord."
Xie Qi's CPU was almost unable to turn around. He suddenly looked up at Shen Tang, who was above him, and then lowered his head and asked: "But isn't the lord a literary scholar? Rumors say that he is a general."
Ning Yan asked back: "This is not a conflict."
Thank you device: “…”
An outrageous guess suddenly popped into his mind.
"Double cultivation of literature, literature and martial arts?"
Ning Yan nodded slowly: "Yes."
Thank you device: “…”
He tried to find clues of joking from Ning Yan's face, but naturally he couldn't find it, and Xie Qi almost couldn't hold back. The previous lord was a lunatic, and the new lord is suspected to be a fool. Is it so difficult to find a normal person?
However, raw rice and cooked rice, even though he was full of complaints, he couldn't appeal to his mouth. In the end, he could only hold back a sentence: "If, if this is the case... even some common sense can't be trusted."
The meeting ended and the final plan was basically finalized.
Shen Tang and others led the most elite 500 elite soldiers, circled from the stone wall on the river bank to the enemy's rear, and joined forces with Commander Wei Shou's frontal troops to attack the enemy. Chu Yao is in charge of selecting the elite, preparing the materials needed to build the plank road, and arranging dry food for two days.
Chu Yao was ready in just half a day.
Because it is necessary to build a temporary plank road while marching, it will take longer for Shen Tang's surprise soldiers to travel than normal. Before dawn, smoke rose from the Cunshan City. The five hundred people were full of food and drink, and after a good night's rest, they were full of energy.
Shen Tang and Xun Ding got on the mule (horse) at the same time.
Xun Zhen did not accompany him, and he told his son with a stern face: "Yong'an, remember to protect the lord, remember to protect yourself."
Xun Ding grinned: "Father, don't worry!"
Seeing that the old father was serious because of the title, he changed his words with a chuckle: "The last general Xun Ding, remember the command of the military advisor."
Xun Zhen said: "Go."
Everyone saluted: "I wish you the best of luck in this journey."
Shen Tang said with a high-spirited smile: "Wait for my triumphant return!"
Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses were always paying attention to Shen Tang's actions. At dusk that day, he received news that hundreds of people had left Cunshan City. When the general heard the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you found out where they are going?"
The messenger soldier said: "Go west."
The general thought that Shen Tang's actions were aimed at him, but he was stunned when he heard the messenger's reply. Why is the other party moving in the opposite direction? Look at the target is not yourself. He asked again: "Where is Cunshan City? Is there any other movement?"
The messenger soldier replied: "Everything remains the same."
Reporting the situation of Cunshan City twice a day, each time the city gates were closed. They are very alert, and even raptors with high-altitude detection capabilities cannot get too close. The scout's gallant totem cannot be too far away from the owner, and the distance is limited, so it is difficult to find valuable information. When the general heard this, he paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back, looking anxious.
Shen Tang's side is too quiet, unreasonably quiet.
Captured Cunshan City but stood still, unable to play the role of restraining Zheng Qiao's troops. This strategically important place lost the meaning of attacking. The general knew that this was impossible, Shen Tang and his group would definitely take action, but they didn't know when and how they would do it. So, he waved his hand and said: "Investigate again and report again! Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of those hundreds of people."
At nightfall, the general received his second report.
Those hundreds of people crossed the river and left.
General: "???"
The expression twisted for a moment, and the voice was out of control: "What? You left across the river? Are you sure you left across the river?"
The messenger soldier had to repeat it again.
After Cunshan City is Shentang's territory, the scouts sent out are insurmountable, so they can only take advantage of the bird's-eye view from a high altitude, and see that the hundreds of people are indeed heading towards the west bank of the Miaojiang River. Coupled with the limited distance and the obstacles of high mountains and cliffs on both sides of the river bank, more information could not be found. During the period, two scouts exposed their whereabouts and were caught by enemy patrols. One died and the other was injured.
The military gallant totem scouts with the ability to detect are very expensive. I was worried that the rest would be caught, so I had to rush back.
The general twirled his beard, and his subordinates lowered their eyes in thought.
The general muttered: "What's the idea of these hundreds of people?"
One person asked: "Wouldn't you want to go down the river and go to the front line to support? But what effect can a mere 500 people have?"
Another person said: "Maybe it's for us?"
Immediately afterwards, he was met with ruthless ridicule: "Other two or three days will be when the Miaojiang River will skyrocket. Isn't it courting death to enter the water at this time? Even if they are coming for us, wouldn't the scouts find them? These hundreds of people may be the enemy's cover-up. "
After all, this operation is too confusing.
The general also had this idea in mind: "Investigate again and report again!"
At the same time, Shen Tang and the others turned into goats, and shuttled flexibly on the vertical and steep stone wall. Every time a faint light of martial energy flashed, a wooden stick was driven into the stone wall. In order to ensure safety, a rope is tied around each person's waist, and the other end of the rope is a ring. This ring can be buckled into a wooden stick nailed into the stone wall, and even if the foot slips and falls into the water, it will not be easily washed away.
Hundreds of people formed a line on the stone wall.
Warrior and high-level warriors clear the way in front, and weaker ones follow behind. At the beginning, the soldiers were not familiar with it, and their feet were weak when they saw the rolling river under their feet. After a little proficiency, you can move forward flexibly on the stone wall with a stable center of gravity.
"Wangchao, are you okay?" Shen Tang walked fast, stopped and waited until he heard a slight cough covered by the river water.
They can't use scouts to scout now, so as not to expose the target, but they need to be alert to the enemy's whereabouts at all times. Gu Chi's way of scribes has become the only choice. Gu Chi looked weak, but he was actually stepping on the wooden stick steadily and holding the wall with one hand.
He waved his hand at Shen Tang in the distance, signaling that he was fine, when the river wind blew, an unstoppable cough overflowed from his throat.
"Your complexion is not very good." Shen Tang turned back.
It took Gu Chi a long time to calm down his cough, and his pale cheeks were a little **** because of this: "The river water is a bit dazzling from this position... Don't worry, my lord, it will be fine in a while."
After the family was exterminated that year, he was hunted down by Tao Yan's old department, and he managed to save his life by jumping into the river. Although I am not afraid of water, I still feel uncomfortable seeing similar scenes.
At this time, Bai Su rushed over after hearing the news.
"My lord, leave the military division to the last general."
"Okay, you can give him a hand to prevent him from slipping and falling into the water. If the situation is not good, you can also carry it."
After Shen Tang instructed, he turned back and continued working.
Just as Gu Chi was about to say that the business is important, don't worry about himself, he saw that Bai Su tightly wrapped the other end of the rope around his waist around his wrist, and tied a tight knot: "In this way, even if the military commander falls, the last general It will also drag you up."
Wenxin scribes are more stable than warriors?
Bai Su is full of confidence, she will definitely not be able to fall.
Gu Chi imagined that he accidentally fell into the water, his head was washed by the river water, and Bai Su lifted himself up from above, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. This plot can be written into the storybook.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the night fell.
Wei Shou ordered the whole camp to light a fire and cook.
"Are you all full?"
The soldiers said in unison: "I'm full."
"We are full this time, but we haven't eaten well enough. If we want to eat well, have fat to eat, good wine to drink, money to spend, and clothes to wear, we must make meritorious deeds! How to make meritorious deeds? Kill the enemy Lao Nest! They are the enemy, and it is our military exploits that are stepping upward!" Wei Shou pointed the big rose gold and pink ax in his hand, pointed in the direction of the enemy and shouted, "Did you hear that?"
The soldiers shouted in unison, resounding to suppress the sky.
"Wait, let's go!"
