Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 275

On the fifth day of June, Nanyu City.

With the fall of Tianyu Mansion and Lingqiu Mansion successively, the atmosphere in Nanyu City became more and more dignified. Coupled with the continuous influx of refugees, Nuo Da's city was turned into a mess.

The Fourth Brigade of the Guard Division, which was responsible for garrisoning the city, could hardly maintain order.

Sheriff's Mansion, Council Hall.

"Your Highness, let the Seventh Division give up resistance and withdraw all of them to Nanyu City." Guo Jia suggested.

The Seventh Division sniped the enemy along the way. It was roughly estimated that the casualties had reached [-]. The only effect was to slow down the pace of the King Chu's army attacking Nanyu City.

No way, the strength gap is too big.

"Then withdraw." Qian Yuan waved his hand helplessly, very unwilling.

Logically speaking, in the face of the attack of King Chu's army, it is best for Nanyu County to adopt a full-line retraction strategy from the beginning to preserve its strength to the greatest extent, and fight the enemy to the death in Nanyu City.

This is also the strategy adopted by Taixu Sect, Kunlun Sect, Zixiao Sword Sect and other sects.

But Qianyuan can't do this.

It can't be said that he just delivered a passionate speech, calling on the people in the fief to resist the war, and vowed to fight the enemy to the death; then he ordered the army not to make any resistance, and gave up the land of the four prefectures.

What do the people of Nanyu County think?
What do you think of the tens of thousands of people in the fief, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
Therefore, even if they knew they couldn't hold it, even if they had to pay a relatively large sacrifice, the Seventh Division led by Yu Jin had to resist a wave.

Some sacrifices are necessary.

Although the nearly ten days of resistance failed to stop the enemy from sweeping Nanyu County, it managed to give the people of Nanyu County a qualified answer.

Tell the people in the fief that the army is still fighting...

It's just that after the two prefectures fell one after another, it doesn't make much sense to resist on the outskirts. The king of Chu's army ignored them and came straight to Nanyu City.

The focus of the war has finally shifted here.

It is conceivable how solemn the atmosphere in Nanyu City is at this time. For this reason, Qian Yuan will appear at the top of the city every day, swearing his determination to defend the city.

After talking about the withdrawal of troops, Qian Yuan picked up a piece of information and handed it to Guo Jia, which was reported by Xue Rengui, about sending the Guards Brigade and the Garrison Division to the north for reinforcements.

"That's great."

After watching it, Guo Jia was visibly relieved.

In addition to not having enough garrison troops in Nanyu County right now, there is also a huge weakness, that is, there is not an elite army as the backbone of the entire garrison.

Neither the [-]th Division, which is about to withdraw, nor the [-]th Brigade of the Garrison Division are up to the task.

The guard brigade is here.
That will be different.

Moreover, with such a supporting army, the battle to defend the city can barely be opened.If only relying on the remnants of the Seventh Division, even if Qian Yuan had the power to reach the sky, the city would not be able to defend it.

I have to say that Xue Rengui sent a timely rain.

Even Guo Jia didn't expect that Xue Rengui could grasp the opportunity so keenly, and carried it out resolutely, successfully achieved the results of the battle and achieved the strategic goal.

No matter which point, it is very remarkable.

He is truly a famous general.

After reading the information in detail, Guo Jia suddenly had a thought, and said, "If you march in a hurry, it is estimated that they will arrive at Nanyu City tomorrow morning, right?!"

"That's right." Qian Yuan nodded.

Guanxiang Mansion, where Nanyuguan is located, is still under the control of the Seventh Division. Without the interference of the enemy, they walked on a cement road, and the marching speed was still very fast.

The emergence of concrete roads is indeed a great boon for marching.

In ancient times, marches were often delayed due to unexpected weather, such as the most abominable rain, muddy roads, landslides, and even bridges being washed away.

That was really crying.

The Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising in history did not stem from a heavy rain, which prevented the team from arriving on schedule.

"What good plan did Feng Xiao have?"

Having worked together for several years, they are inseparable. Qian Yuan has a better understanding of Guo Jia's temperament.As soon as Guo Jia opened his mouth, he smelled conspiracy.

Guo Jia said: "With the urinating nature of the King Chu's army, they have won consecutive battles and their morale is high. Once the Seventh Division retreats, they will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue them in order to maximize the results of the battle. But this time the Guards Brigade went north. The enemy is If you don’t know, maybe you can take advantage of the retreat of the Seventh Division and the enemy’s pursuit to stage an ambush.”

"That's a good idea."

Qian Yuan nodded in agreement. Before Chu Wang's army arrived outside Nanyu City, weakening their strength as much as possible was completely in line with their previous strategy.

"So, choose the enemy's first division or the seventh division?" Qian Yuan asked.

"The Seventh Division."

"reason?"

Guo Jiadao: "Xiong Daoyuan, the commander of the First Division of the King of Chu Army, was already well-known in the Fourth Army. He is a relatively well-known veteran in the Imperial Army and is currently the number one general under the King of Chu's command. Your Excellency I'm worried that Xiong Daoyuan's sophistication may see through our tricks. The Seventh Division is different. As a new army, it won the battle as soon as it came up. .”

Qian Yuan nodded, Guo Jia's analysis was very reasonable, "It's just that Zhao Xianrang is the head of the Seventh Division. Do you want to give up this chess piece completely?"

He was a little bit reluctant.

"That's not the case." Guo Jia explained: "With Zhao Xianren's ability, even if he continues to be under Taixuzong's control, he may not be able to control the Seventh Division and temporarily pull the Seventh Division to rebel. Therefore, in the upcoming war , even if Zhao Xianrang's current chess piece is used, the effect it can play is very limited."

Qian Yuan nodded.

Zhao Xianrang is capable, but he hasn't stayed in the Seventh Division for long enough, coupled with Chu Wang's suspicious character, he must have buried a dark game in the Seventh Division.

Guo Jia continued: "On the contrary, this ambush against the Seventh Division just cleared Zhao Xianrang's suspicion of 'collaborating with the enemy' and allowed him to completely lie dormant in the King Chu's army for future use."

Good Guo Jia, really plotting people to the bone.

What else could Qian Yuan say, and said with a smile: "Then it's settled. By the way, where is the ambush site?" While speaking, he was already before the map.

This is already standard in combat.

Guo Jia also came to the map, and after looking around Nanyu City, he finally pointed to Qiwu County, a county in the east of Nanyu City.

"After the enemy's [-]th Division captured Lingqiu Mansion, they would not turn south and go eastward, and cooperate with the enemy's [-]st Division to complete the siege of Nanyu City. In this way, Qiwu County is their must. Even better, there is a forest on the outskirts of Qiwu County, which is most suitable for ambushes." Guo Jia explained.

"Very good, immediately send a telegram to the front line to complete the combat deployment." Qian Yuan ordered.

"promise!"

This matter is naturally coordinated by Guo Jia, so there is no need for Qian Yuan to worry about it.

…………

On the sixth day of June, Qiwu County.

After receiving the emergency military order from Guo Jia, the Guards Brigade and the Fifth Brigade of the Security Division did not dare to neglect, and quickly changed their course. After a night of rapid marching, they finally arrived at the preset ambush site before dawn.

In the woods outside Qiwu County.

Because it was arriving at night, Qiwu County not far away was still quiet, and the people in the city didn't even know that a large army had quietly arrived outside the city, lurking in the woods.

The soldiers who had been traveling all night lay down on the ground, or slept against the tree trunks, and seized the time to recover the physical energy consumed by the journey to cope with the upcoming war.

After a while, there were snoring sounds one after another in the woods.

Fortunately, it was the scorching heat at this time, and the weather was so hot that it didn't matter at all even if they camped in the wild at night.

The only difficult thing is probably the mosquitoes that can't be dispelled.

Soon, the distant sky revealed a white belly.

Dawn has arrived!

Except for the soldiers in charge of security, the rest of the soldiers were still sleeping soundly, accompanied by the chirping of birds in the woods, there was such a rhythm.

This wait was nearly two hours.

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, the sound of rumbling footsteps finally came from the yellow mud road outside the woods.

From a distance, it is gray.

Not long after Nanyu County was included in the fiefdom, the cement road was only built on the main road between the prefectures and cities, and had not yet extended to the county seat. The large troops passed quickly, and naturally the smoke and dust billowed.

At a slight tilt, a troop appeared at the end of the road.

Those who came were the remnants of the [-]rd and [-]th brigades of the [-]th Division that were originally in charge of stationing Lingqiu's mansion. Looking around, the combined strength of the two brigades was less than [-].

They threw away their helmets and armor one by one, very embarrassed.

The soldiers of the Linzhong Guards Brigade all frowned when they saw this, with embarrassing expressions on their faces.Although I know that the friendly army is acting as a show, but it is so embarrassing, it is still
"It's really a shame for the Corps." Some soldiers thought angrily.

"Send me an order and prepare to fight."

At some point, Xu Chu, who was standing upright and resting against a thick tree with a bucket, had opened his eyes, their eyes were piercing, and there was no sign of fatigue.

As expected of a strong Wu Zun, he has such a personality even when he sleeps.

The other soldiers had been woken up long ago, and while they were waiting, they made a breakfast using the water bottles and dry food they carried with them.

These are all gadgets invented by Cao Xin for combat preparation, and they were first installed in the personal guard brigade.

Envy others.

Following Xu Chu's order, the soldiers of the two brigades immediately entered into a fighting state, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, leaning down as much as possible, and staring outside.

Always ready to go into battle.
