Chapter 1209 Break the city(1/2)
Looking at Wen Shi, who had just returned from the Chinese Army, with a worried look on his face, Wang Han, the guard of the engineering battalion, couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"General Wen was summoned by General Hussar, but what are his orders?"
When Wenshi heard this, he told Wei Yan's instructions, and then sighed:
"Although I have never personally led an army into battle to fight against traitors, I have seen a lot of things in the army over the years."
"In my opinion, General Hussar may have been a little too anxious this time."
"If it were the Central Protectorate, I probably wouldn't let the soldiers attack the city so recklessly for the sake of a city."
When Wang Han heard Wen Shi's words, he quickly made a gesture, looked around, and then took him to a few people's room:
"General Wen, General Hussar is the commander-in-chief of the army. Even if we are seconded, we must be controlled by him."
"Talking about the coach behind his back is a serious crime if you really want to be prosecuted. Therefore, it is better that General Wen does not say such things in the army."
Wenshi nodded:
"Thank you, General Wang, for reminding me. Actually, I didn't know it. It's just General Hussar... Sigh! Besides, this is where our engineering camp is, so I can't help but mention it."
When Wang Han saw Wen Shi like this, he couldn't help asking:
"What does General Hussar want our engineering battalion to do again?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Gaodu City not far away.
The outer perimeter of Gaodu City had long been smashed to pieces by stone cannons.
He turned around again and said casually subconsciously:
"You don't want us to destroy those things on the mountain, do you?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Shi smiled bitterly:
"That's right, the Hussars General just wants our engineering battalion to help knock down all the forts on the mountain..."
"Ha?" When Wang Han heard this, his eyes widened, his mouth opened and he let out a haha, and stood there in a daze.
After a while, he realized that Wen Shi was not joking. He couldn't help but raised his voice and shouted:
"What are you dreaming about? If the engineering camp is so powerful, what else do you need others to do?"
Wang Han is a sibling of Wang Ping.
In his early years, Wang Ping was recognized by the Zhongdu Protector's wise eyes, returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and brought many fellow villagers out.
The young Wang Han joined the army at that time.
Probably because he was still young, Zhongduhu kept him by his side for several years.
Over the years, Wang Han has stayed in Wudang Camp, Guards Camp, and even Dark Night Camp.
It can be said that like Wang Ping, his honor and disgrace are tied to Zhongdu Hu.
Now the Central Protector has sent him to the engineering camp as a guard. To put it bluntly, he is to let him take good care of the technical personnel in the camp.
So when Wang Han heard Wei Yan's request, he naturally jumped.
"Shh! Keep your voice down..."
This time it was Wenshi’s turn to remind Wang Han:
"If General Hussar hadn't suggested it, I would have wanted to curse. It took me a long time to explain, but then General Hussar knew that this idea would not work."
Thinking of this, Wen Shi almost wanted to call someone illiterate.
After all, who except the illiterate would make such a request?
"No! The current military situation is urgent, and the Cavalry General is not easy to deal with."
Wang Han is a careful person. When he heard this, he couldn't help himself:
"What if he brings this up again later and insists on letting us give it a try?"
In fact, it’s not impossible to give it a try on a different day.
But that was only when safety was guaranteed. Given the current situation, Wang Han did not dare to let the engineering battalion take risks down the mountain.
The Central Protector sent him here, but he specifically reminded him to pay attention to the preservation of the engineering camp.
After following the Central Protector for so many years, Wang Han also realized something in his heart:
Someone in the engineering camp may hold some unknown secrets related to the military.
If not, why is the Engineering Battalion directly under the Central Protectorate?
Instead of delegating it to each army?
When Wang Han thought of this, he became more vigilant again:
"I heard that the leader of the thieves, Sima Yi, has already arrived with reinforcements. He is not far from here."
"Anyway, the mission of our engineering battalion has been completed. The remaining fighting in front of the battle formation is not what we are good at."
"Therefore, there is no use staying here. General Wen, why don't you use the excuse of supervising the manufacture of equipment and take the master craftsmen in the camp to retreat to the rear to ensure safety."
Wen Shi was startled. He just complained, but he didn't expect Wang Han to make such an arrangement:
"how about you?"
Wang Han shook his head:
"The Cavalry General is not an easy person to talk to. You just rejected his request. If the engineering battalion retreats all at once, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
"You take the others and leave first. If General Hussar doesn't respond, in a few days you can ask General Hussar to ask us to help. Then there won't be any problems."
Wang Han, as a guard, had 1,500 soldiers.
To put it bluntly, at least during the siege, there were 1,500 people, which was not even enough for the two batches.
It basically won't turn things around.
But to say it's less, it's not too little.
These elite soldiers specially allocated by the Central Protectorate can at least protect the core personnel of the engineering battalion most of the time.
Wen Shi nodded in agreement without too much entanglement.
He knows that in this kind of matter, it is best for him to listen to the arrangements of professionals.
Just like Wang Han never interfered with how he fucked.
"Then when do we act?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. You just came back from there, and going back now seems a bit too deliberate."
In fact, Wang Han thought about mentioning this matter again in a few days, but things before the battle were changing rapidly.
In addition, there is a hussar general who does not have a harmonious relationship with the Central Protector.
Naturally, it is better to do this sooner rather than later.
As a direct descendant of the Central Protector, but now under the command of General Zuo Hussar, Wang Han did not dare to have the slightest intention of entrusting himself to the throne.
The two discussed some details and refined the plan, and then went to prepare separately.
The next day, Wen Shi plucked up the courage and went to see Wei Yan again.
Unexpectedly, when Wei Yan heard this, he had no doubts at all and agreed directly.
After all, the siege has entered its final stage, and we really need to step up the production of equipment.
And there is a more important reason, that is, Zhang Bao from Hedong sent a fast horse to deliver a message:
Wei thieves appeared on Zhiguan Pass.
Wei Yan quickly made a judgment:
This is because the Wei thieves wanted to contain Hedong and prevent reinforcements from Hedong from being sent to support them.
However, in Wei Yan's view, the Wei thieves were just unnecessary.
Because the reinforcements he wants to mobilize are not from Hedong, but from Shangdang!
But behind this news, Wei Yan felt the urgency of time even more.
It was obvious that the Wei thieves had already started taking action.
The Wei thieves at the other end of Zhiguanxing made some movement.
Coupled with the report from yesterday's scouts, it was said that a new Wei thief was discovered at Tianjing Pass, Taihang County.
All this shows that Sima Yi probably wanted to use offense as defense to force the Han to retreat.
Sima Yi, who fled from Guanzhong to Luoyang, has been quiet for the past few years.
The biggest reason why he dares to go to war at this time may be:
Feng left Chang'an and went to Wuguan. The pressure in Luoyang dropped sharply, so Sima Yi dared to act like this.
After figuring this out, Wei Yan suddenly became a little more irritated and angry:
"That guy Feng Yong did it on purpose. He couldn't see me leading the army to make meritorious deeds. He was just like a rat!"
