Chapter 327 The Great War(1/2)
Just when the two parties had initially reached an agreement and were ready to further negotiate on the alliance between the two countries.
On the other side is Longxi County.
The land of Longnan.
Near Wangcheng Valley.
The landforms between this place and Longsang City to the north have undergone great changes.
It's not as flat as there are many large and small valleys and ravines.
The terrain is also slightly bumpy.
Such complex terrain also restricts the cavalry's mobile combat capabilities.
On the contrary, it applies to Tibetan soldiers.
To the north is the fertile land of Longxi where Cao's army is heavily stationed.
To the south is Qiangdao, an important town on the westernmost border of Wudu.
It is also where Zhao Tong's frontier defense rear area is now located.
Naturally, it is adjacent to Baimaqiang in the west.
The terrain is complex and the enemy situation is inconvenient.
At any other time, it would probably be a place no one cares about.
But now, the air is vaguely filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
I saw armies from all sides gathering here.
First, the main forces of the Han army that had evacuated south from Longsang City were slowly gathering here.
Zhao Tong's troops, who had taken the rear with their knights, also quickly got rid of the attack of the main force of Cao's army after a series of harassment operations and galloped southward!
Dai Ling, the general in charge of the entire army for the time being, also followed Zhao Ang's persuasion and used all the main force of his cavalry to pursue them.
Many days later.
The main force of the Han army, which had already arrived at Wangcheng Valley, was stationed here.
As Zhao Tong and his troops rushed to return.
Huo Yi, Ma Su and other generals all looked sideways, with traces of reverence rising on their faces unconsciously.
"The general is so powerful that we can't wait!"
Everyone immediately noticed the long-dried blood on the armor of Zhao Tong and his cavalry and on the mane of the war horse, and basically automatically replaced it.
This time, his own general personally led the knights to cut off the rear and buy time for his side to evacuate.
It must have been a bloody battle.
And now that he has returned safely, how can he not be admired by all the generals?
Looking around, quietly looking forward to everyone's eyes.
Zhao Tong put away the spear in his hand, faced everyone, and just smiled.
Not a single word was uttered.
When everyone saw this, they all smiled knowingly.
There was a strong look of joy on his face.
it is more than words!
The generals and commanders have been living with him for such a long time.
Naturally, both parties are extremely familiar with each other.
Basically, you can understand by looking at the other person's eyes.
A brief exchange of pleasantries.
This matter was revealed.
But they saw Zhao Yuezheng, who was still dressed in military uniform and men's clothing, standing among the people. Although he didn't say anything, an unconscious look of worry was faintly visible on his face.
Due to the emergency of war.
Although the main forces of various ministries have safely evacuated to this place.
However, according to the messages sent back from behind by sentry riders one after another along the way, Cao's army was attacking at full speed at this moment.
It is still a time of emergency.
Therefore, Zhao Tong could not afford to pay careful attention to this tiny detail at this moment.
He didn't have time to rest, so he ordered all the troops to rest where they were.
Then all the generals and generals gathered together and began to discuss slowly.
"Youchang, it has been about two or three days since you arrived here with your troops, but I wonder if you have already made contact with Prince Yang Wanwan of Baima Qiang?"
"Is there any progress so far?"
Everyone is basically a warrior in the military.
At present, they no longer care whether the conditions here are difficult or not, so they just go straight to find a nearby big stone and sit on the ground.
Zhao Tong immediately got to the point first.
As soon as this was said.
After hearing this, Ma Su had the same chuckle from the past on his face, and responded with an indifferent expression: "General Qi, everything is going well so far."
"On the way south to evacuate, Su has already sent people to the tribes under the jurisdiction of Baima Qiang to contact them."
"According to the heads of each tribe, they have been ordered by Prince Yang Wanwan to prepare for the trip."
Hearing such solemn words.
Zhao Tong's vaguely uncertain expression faded away.
Instead, he slowly showed a hint of joy.
"Okay! It seems that now our army can have another battle with the chasing Cao army."
He seemed to be a little relieved and responded.
"Ah? A decisive battle with the enemy?"
"Right here?"
"General, is this really true?"
And just as Zhao Tong's words had just been settled.
The generals gathered around him had different expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.
Only Ma Su, who had learned the truth in advance, looked calm and calm.
Upon seeing this, he had already expected the expressions on the generals' faces.
Our own side is currently far inferior to the main forces of Cao's army in terms of military strength.
Not to mention, now all the wealthy families in Liangzhou have responded and come to reinforce the new force.
Then the disparity in strength becomes even greater.
Now, without any warning, I heard that a war was about to break out with the enemy here.
It was difficult for the generals and commanders to come back to their senses.
"Hahaha……"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Tong tried his best to put on a smile as much as possible to relieve his nervousness, and then said in a deep voice: "That's right, we will set up an ambush in the Wangcheng Valley and use the terrain here to ambush Cao Jun."
"This is a decision that I have made after careful consideration."
"I didn't explain it to you earlier because I was worried that the military information would be leaked, so I have kept it hidden until now."
"I hope you all must pick up your fighting spirit and fight hard."
After he finished speaking, he once again showed his fighting spirit to encourage the generals.
In one word.
However, the generals experienced a brief period of silence.
They originally thought they would retreat from Longsang City, so they went straight back to Qiang Road to rest.
Unexpectedly, his general planned to set up an ambush here to attack the enemy.
"General, in the hasty battle, I am afraid that the morale of the army is not good for our army."
"Yes, this is reasonable. None of the soldiers in the army are aware of this matter yet. If it were suddenly announced at this time, it would be difficult for the soldiers to accept it for a while!"
A series of words came to an end.
Some of the somewhat calm generals still responded slowly.
To be continued...
