Chapter 773 Hunting the Goguryeo Army (5)
After almost all the spies who identified Goguryeo were killed.
Wu Nian led the army and arrived in a valley.
Under the banner with the word "Wu", Wu Nian looked up at the sky and said to his left and right: "Let the soldiers rest in a cool place, drink water and eat solid food. When I give the order, they will put on their armor and go out with me.
."
"yes."
The soldier agreed and immediately went down to deliver the order.
Wu Nian nodded.
Now that the weather is hot, they take the initiative on the battlefield. The armored soldiers do not wear armor, but carry armor on their backs. Although it is also very hard, it is cooler and more comfortable than operating in armor.
The Goguryeo soldiers were different. They were on the march, and there were no spies to monitor the situation. They had to be ready for battle at any time, and they had to wear armor.
They could only walk and drink water, and then find a place to rest when they couldn't stand it anymore.
Wu Nian asked his soldiers to get a bench and sat down with his back against a big tree, holding a map in his hand.
His opponent is Zhao Mancheng.
White Armor and Silver Spear, known as "Snow Kirin". He is a famous general who is quite famous in Goguryeo. He has never fought against the opponent, so he doesn't know whether he is true or not.
But now it's not a duel, but an attack.
The center, front and rear armies of the Goguryeo army took the main road, while the left and right armies took the small roads to protect the flanks. The small road was narrow, and Zhao Mancheng's army was arranged into a long snake.
"Intercept in sections. Kill and injure his men and horses as much as possible." After Wu Nian looked at the map for a while, he raised his head and said to the soldiers: "Summon the captain and thousands of households."
"Yes." The soldier responded and immediately went down. Soon after, Zhang Sheng and ten thousand households came to Wu Nian's side and bent down to look at the map.
"Liu Bian, you lead three thousand soldiers to ambush on this path. Let Zhao Mancheng's army go and cut off its rear."
"Yes." Qianhu Liu responded, immediately took out his map, stained his index finger with saliva, made a mark, turned around and called two Qianhu down to study.
"Zhang Sheng. You take three thousand soldiers and wait here in ambush. When Zhao Mancheng's team arrives, let go of most of his army and attack the rear."
"The remaining four thousand households, come with me to attack Zhao Mancheng."
Wu Nian raised his head and said to the remaining seven thousand households with a smile: "Open your mouths and bite them to your heart's content."
"Retaliation when there is a grudge, and revenge when there is a grudge. Don't be polite."
"yes."
With a loud voice, the seven thousand households stood up straight and raised their hands in response.
"Yeah." Wu Nian grunted and waved for them to go down and get ready. The battle plan has been laid out and they can recharge their batteries.
After Wu Nian handed over his personal soldiers, he closed his eyes, leaned against the big tree, and his breathing gradually became calmer.
"General, the time has come." The soldiers did their duty very conscientiously and came to call Wu Nian when the time came. Wu Nian opened his eyes, a little dazed at first, then shook his head and became more energetic.
"Instruct all the ministries to act according to the plan. Help me put on my armor."
He ordered while arranging large fonts.
"yes."
The soldiers responded and immediately took action. Pieces of armor parts were put on Wu Nian's body, and finally the steel sword was hung.
The weather is hot now. Wu Nian, who was neatly dressed, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, his body seemed to be in a steamer, and he immediately started sweating profusely.
"Hoo!" Elder Wu exhaled, grabbed the eight-foot-long horse spear handed over by his own soldiers, got on his horse, and led four thousand households of troops, one of whom was a heavy-armored and heavy-axe soldier, toward
Go along the established route.
...........
Under the banner of "Zhao", Zhao Mancheng holds a silver gun and rides on a horse. He is sweating like rain and his face is a little ugly.
He turned around and looked at the soldiers in front and behind him. They were all sweating profusely. The soldiers in armor were even more pale-faced.
"If we continue like this, I'm afraid I'll have a heat stroke." Zhao Mancheng thought to himself, then turned to the soldiers and said, "Go and contact the various departments. Walk for another quarter of an hour and then stop to rest."
As a general on the right wing, he could not stop and rest privately. Otherwise, there would be no one to protect the central army.
"yes."
The soldiers responded and immediately rode their horses to take a small road to contact the various ministries. When Zhao Mancheng's soldiers heard that they could rest in another quarter of an hour, they immediately became energetic, and their bodies generated strength out of thin air, and they strode forward.
.
"Gulu.Gulu."
As they strode forward, they picked up water bags and drank water. The sound of gurgling water could be heard one after another.
.............
On the small road between the two mountains, Liu Bian, a Qianhu soldier from Wu Nianjun's army, was holding a horse pole, sitting astride a horse, and leading three Qianhu warriors. He stopped on the road.
This road intersects with the path taken by Zhao Mancheng's army. Spies kept coming and going, always reporting the march of Liu Bian and Zhao Mancheng's army.
Liu Bian was also sweating profusely, and his mouth was so dry that he was smoking. The same was true for Wu Nianjun's soldiers, who picked up water bottles and drank water from time to time.
but.
Their morale is very high.
No matter how difficult the situation is, the morale of Wu Nian's army will never weaken. This is something Wu Nian imprints on the bones of his soldiers.
Besides, we are very hot.
But the Goguryeo people still had to march in this kind of weather.
It must be hot and tiring. We are better than them.
"Sir, more than half of Zhao Mancheng's army has passed." A spy galloped over on horseback, reined in his horse and stopped in front of Liu Bian, and reported loudly.
"Brothers, the general has ordered us to attack their rear end. This task is not heavy. The Goguryeo people are tired and hot, so they are easy to deal with."
"Cheer up and don't embarrass me."
Liu Bian suddenly showed joy, raised his horse and shouted.
"yes."
The three thousand warriors all responded in unison. Then they surrounded Liu Bian and rushed forward along the path.
However, their actions were relatively restrained and they did not shout loudly to kill.
But despite this, the sound of large-scale troop movements still alarmed Zhao Mancheng's army.
Zhao Mancheng's army had no spies, so he could only listen with ears open and stare with eyes wide open, very vigilant. After hearing the sound of troops marching, a soldier immediately shouted: "There is an attack."
"Quickly, get into combat formation."
A general raised the big gun in his hand and shouted. He said it easily, but the mountain road here is narrow. No matter how the soldiers gathered, they could not form a heavy formation to fight.
The soldiers could only crowd together, face Wu Nianjun's direction, raise their weapons, and passively fight.
Now that it has been discovered.
Then there is nothing we can do.
Under the banner with the character "Liu", Liu Bian raised the horse in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, shout out the slogans."
"Goguryeo people, listen. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, our general will promise not to kill you. There will be water and meat. You will not have to march so hard in this weather."
