Early the next morning, Kong Sheng suddenly gave the order to change lanes and change direction again.
Hearing that Kong Sheng asked the whole army to go straight to Tuocheng, and then take a shortcut from Tuocheng to take a straight line distance and return to Xiayi along the edge of Suiyang, Nangong Wang and others were surprised.
The morning breeze of dawn was cool, Nangong looked at the horse and said hurriedly on the horse: "Temporarily change lanes, return to Xiayi from Suiyang, so close to the rebel camp, isn't this a sheep into the tiger's mouth and take the initiative to send it to the door."
Kong Sheng raised Fang Tian's halberd on the horse, and said lightly: "Senior Brother Nangong, you said, why didn't the main force of Yin Ziqi's rebels send troops to chase us and we plundered the grain and grass of Suiyang Canal, and his side was indifferent, is this normal?"
Nangong looked at the light of his eyes: "Maybe it means that there is a problem within the rebels, or maybe it means that their pursuers are coming, in short, we can't be careless, in case we fall into the siege of the rebel army, it will be too late to regret it." ” Kong Sheng looked up at Nangong Wang, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
In his heart, he relied on Nangong Wang's cultivation and use as a military teacher, but Nangong Wang's vision, strategy and courage were a little far from his standards, if Nangong Wang couldn't even see and think through the stubble in front of him, Kong Sheng felt that there was no need to expect too much from him in the future.
Nangong Wangluo groaned slightly, and suddenly said: "Could it be that the soldiers and horses of King Yu in Jiangbei have moved, Yin Ziqi is worried that he will be attacked by the enemy in his back and abdomen, so he does not dare to act rashly, could it be that we pretended to attack Suiyang Canal in the name of the Jiangbei Army, seized the military rations, and directly led to civil strife in the rebels, and then Yin Ziqi showed signs of withdrawing."
Kong Sheng's eyes flashed with approval.
Nangong Wang still thought of this section after all, which shows that his strategic vision and overall consideration are not low.
"The mountain people understood.
Senior Brother Kong is going to speed up and rush back to Xiayi, and then the whole army is ready to join forces with the Suiyang army, and when Yin Ziqi's rebels retreat north, there will be a war of annihilation.
Nangong looked at the arch of his hand: "The mountain people retreat." ” Kong Sheng smiled loudly: "Senior Brother Nangong is going well." ” The Xiayi army and horses accelerated their march, arrived at the boundary of Tuocheng before noon, and then marched non-stop along the official road leading to Xiayi in Tuocheng, hundreds of grain trucks and more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 Xiayi officers and soldiers formed a long procession, stretching for several miles, the banner of the Jiangbei Army in the team fluttered high, so unscrupulously around the edge of Yin Ziqi's rebel camp, except for Kong Sheng, all the soldiers secretly sweated.
This official road is only dozens of miles away from the rebel camp, if Yin Ziqi gives an order, the rebels will be dispatched, and it will not take an hour to arrive, and at that time, the annihilation of the whole army is definitely not a lie.
The march of thousands of troops, the hunting of military flags, and the roar of horses' hooves, to say that the rebels who did not alarm Yin Ziqi are completely self-deceptive.
Not to mention Yin Ziqi, even Zhang Xun and the others, who had been keeping a high level of attention upstairs in Suiyang City, were also aware of the movement in this direction.
But the more Kong Sheng marched so unscrupulously and fearlessly, the more Yin Ziqi did not dare to act rashly.
In Yin Ziqi's view, if this was the Jiangbei Army's plan to lure the enemy, his army would definitely suffer from the front and rear attacks of the Suiyang Army and the Jiangbei Army.
Of course, there is another important factor that should not be overlooked.
Because the grain and grass were robbed, because of the recent rumors that the Jiangbei Army was coming to attack and copy their own back roads, the internal disputes of the rebels continued, and people were panicked, and more and more generals strongly demanded that Yin Ziqi withdraw his troops, but despite Yin Ziqi's repeated appeasement and strong suppression, there were still many deserters.
Therefore, Yin Ziqi not only did not plan to send troops to attack Kong Sheng's army at this moment, but also secretly arranged, preparing to withdraw his troops to the north in the middle of the night and return to the "base area" of Lu County or Jiyin County.
The afternoon sun was warm, and the golden light spread down, plating a thin coat on the group of military horses to which Kong Sheng belonged.
After Tuocheng, seeing Xia Yi in sight, Kong Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not an immortal, he can predict the prophet or call the wind and rain, and any decision he makes is the result of a certain kind of comprehensive and full weighing of information, and of course there is a certain risk factor.
If the rebels attacked, the brilliant results of this trip to Suiyang Canal would be instantly in vain.
To say that he wasn't nervous at all would be a lie.
The gate of Xiayi City was opened, Xu Yuan led Tang Genshui Wuxian Wujie and others out of the city to greet him, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the infantry battalion stood in full armed formations on both sides of the road leading to the city gate.
Seeing Nangong Wang's new barracks soldiers escorting hundreds of grain trucks with a smile on their faces, the horizontal knives in the hands of all the soldiers suddenly stood up, and thunderous cheers erupted.
The military report has already come, this time the surprise attack on Suiyang Canal won a complete victory, and the rebels had countless grain and grass, and it was one thing to show the prestige of the Xiayi army, and more importantly, it was enough to get enough food for the army and the people to persist in resisting the thieves.
It's life-saving food.
The soldiers who lined up to welcome them were smiling, and the people and refugees who were watching were also happy, they were not concerned about victory or defeat, they were still concerned about food, which was life-saving food.
According to Kong Sheng's order, Nangong Wang led the army to escort the grain cart without any hesitation, and immediately entered the city to hoard it in the granary and sent heavy troops to guard it.
After the convoy transporting grain, there was a team of Xixi soldiers led by Su Lu.
In the cheers of the Xiayi soldiers and civilians, this group of Xixi people with different faces hurriedly walked in a hurry, but did not enter the city, but were introduced by Tang Genshui to the garrison of the infantry battalion for temporary resettlement.
If so many Xixi soldiers enter the city, once something goes wrong, it will be difficult to clean up.
Kong Sheng was thoughtful and could not have made such a low-level mistake.
After the Xixi people, there were the cavalry battalions and archers led by Kong Sheng himself.
In this battle, the men and horses of the cavalry battalion and the archer battalion cooperated tacitly, exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness, and laid a solid foundation for the successful capture of Suiyang Canal.
Kong Sheng rode on the wind-chasing BMW of the Shenjun, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was across the horse, still wearing the white clothes and bright armor familiar to the soldiers and civilians of Xiayi, smiling, and galloping through the horse.
Behind him, the Mo Dao Army was in a neat formation, with uniform movements, and marched forward majestically.
"Our army is invincible, and the Overseers are invincible" "Celebrating the Overseer's Triumph" The cheers of the crowd rose higher and higher, and Kong Sheng smiled and clenched his fists on his horse, marching towards the city gate amid the rousing sound of military drums.
Suddenly, a sharp whimpering sound broke through the air, and before Kong Sheng could react, a black feather arrow shot at his throat like lightning, too fast and too caught off guard, and there was no way to avoid it at all.
Kong Sheng's face changed suddenly, this arrow came too suddenly, he held Fang Tian's halberd in both hands, and was immediately greeting the soldiers and civilians who were cheering and welcome, it was too late to dodge.
A red shadow flashed, and Nie Chuchen, who was almost running alongside him, flew over at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, and flew down in front of Kong Sheng, using his own flesh and blood to block this originally fatal arrow. burst The arrow shot into Nie Chuchen's shoulder socket, and she groaned in pain and fell off the horse.
Only then did the crowd let out a series of exclamations, and almost at the same time, the white-clothed Mu Changfeng on the other side of Kong Sheng let out a long roar, drew his sword and threw off the stirrup, suddenly stepped on the horse's back, and his figure ejected, and the surrounding soldiers and civilians saw a white light passing by, and Mu Changfeng had already pounced on a black-clothed man who jumped up from the crowd not far away and flew away in the southwest direction.
"Catch the assassin" Li Biao Li Hu was furious, and immediately led dozens of his cavalry to drive away the crowd and gallop to chase and kill him. oshow7 t1706231537:
