My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 100 98. It can be said that soldiers are valuable and quick, and the best way to defeat the enemy is now

Beimang then withdrew its troops, and the entire capital was in a joyful environment. Everyone cheered and celebrated this joy.

But this joy did not last long, because another bigger crisis has not yet been resolved.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings!

Eight princes and kings, headed by the King of Huainan, started a rebellion in the south. The princes from all over the country gathered to follow them, and officials from all over the country joined their ranks. The territories previously captured by the Rogue Army were also occupied by them one by one. They claimed to be armed with one hundred thousand armor and fifty soldiers. Ten thousand!

The King of Huainan, with the name of "treacherous ministers causing chaos and siding with the Qing Dynasty", carries supreme power, is unstoppable and invincible!

If the Beimang barbarians could only plunder around Chang'an City and were unable to truly overthrow the imperial dynasty, then these eight princes and kings came just to seize the world. Their blatant rebellion was vigorous!

After Zhao Xuanqi solved the Beimang incident, he immediately came outside the city to find Zhao Wuwei.

Zhao Wuwei was dressed in black armor, and his tall body exuded a fierce aura. He had been waiting for a long time with 40,000 elite soldiers.

The supplies, baggage and other items have been prepared, and orders must be issued at this moment to be ready to go at any time!

When Zhao Wuwei saw Zhao Xuanqi's arrival, he immediately lowered his head and saluted respectfully: "Generalissimo, Beimang has withdrawn its troops. There is no longer any threat to Chang'an City. We can now deal with the rebellion of the Eight Kings!"

"Should I leave now?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "This is natural, you lead 40,000 elite soldiers and set off immediately!"

Zhao Wuwei swallowed his saliva, looked over with timid eyes, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "May I ask the generalissimo, what should I do? Is there any clever way to make an exception?"

Zhao Wuwei felt uneasy in his heart.

Although he has been familiar with the art of war and is proficient in warfare over the years, with 40,000 troops to fight against the rebellion of the eight princes and princes, and with so many princes in various places also causing rebellion, he has no confidence in winning.

The momentum of the eight princes and kings was even more ferocious than the uprising of the Wandering Army. Officials and princes from all over the world joined King Huainan one after another, and even the territory of the Wandering Army was occupied by them. They claimed to be armed with hundreds of thousands of armor and command hundreds of armies in the world. Ten thousand, very scary.

The difficulty of quelling the rebellion this time is very high, even higher than suppressing the uprising of the Rogue Army. At least the battle with the Rogue Army is a defensive war. In Chang'an City, it is a defensive war. As long as you maintain the defense, you can rely on the tall city walls to resist the enemy. .

But if he goes out to suppress the rebellion, there is no such tall city wall as Chang'an City, nor is there such a majestic city. He went there with 40,000 elite troops, and there was no way he could find a big city like the Great Wall to defend. The low city wall was easy to defend. It was captured by the enemy, and since it was to suppress the rebellion, it must not be able to defend the city all the time, but had to take the initiative to attack the enemy. This was too difficult!

Zhao Wuwei saw no hope of victory at all.

He looked at Zhao Xuanqi eagerly, his tall body stretched out, looking like a defeated rooster, with an innocent expression.

Zhao Xuanqi was amused by this tall man's behavior. He asked, "Do you think I'm that stupid? Will I send you to die in vain? Since I asked you to lead the army, I have already made arrangements to defeat the enemy. Good strategy!”

Zhao Wuwei's gloom was swept away, he patted the armor on his chest and said with joy, "Please teach me, Generalissimo!"

Zhao Xuanqi's eyes flashed brightly, and his tone was passionate. He slowly analyzed: "Beimang's millions of cavalry are coming. There must be King Huainan behind this, and there must be factors of their instigation. They regard Beimang as a A sharp knife, trying to borrow a knife to kill someone.”

"When the King of Huainan wanted us to fight with Beimang, they took advantage of it and seized the opportunity to seize the world. When our vitality was severely weakened, they came to inflict heavy damage on us and send us back to the west..."

"At this point in time, the King of Huainan definitely thinks that we have already fought a bloody battle with Beimang and cannot spare any time to deal with them."

"However, they probably didn't expect Beimang to have withdrawn its troops. We have not fought against Beimang at all. We are still in peak condition."

Zhao Xuanqi ordered: "It is said that soldiers are valuable and quick. At this time, if you lead the troops as quickly as possible, you can definitely catch them off guard. You can catch the Huainan King and others by surprise, take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them, and make them suffer a lot!"

Zhao Wuwei's eyes lit up: "My subordinates know."

Zhao Xuanqi continued to order: "During this period, you must remember one thing. You and I are holding back. You must not use artillery or bombs, and you must not be the first to expose these two decisive weapons!"

In the past few months, the masters of the craftsman shop have finally produced a few cannons, but only a few.

At the same time, some bombs were also made, but the number of bombs was not large, just more than a hundred explosive packets, and there were no explosive bombs or white phosphorus bombs at all.

Zhao Wuwei was very puzzled by this. He touched his head and said doubtfully: "But if I don't use these two weapons, I won't be able to defeat so many rebels. What should I do?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "After you surprise the enemy once, succeed with one blow, and escape immediately, you immediately find a strong city wall to defend it, and act like a coward, stalling for as long as you can, as long as you can." !”

The tall Zhao Wuwei was confused for a moment. His face was full of suspicion and he asked doubtfully: "Generalissimo, didn't I go over to suppress the rebellion? Why did I find a place to hide and delay time? What are you doing to delay time? And what? When is the best time to use gunpowder?”

Zhao Xuanqi paced in place a few times, then with a deep look in his eyes, he said his plan decisively: "Wait until I arrive!"

"When you lead the army to counter the rebellion head-on, I will lead a part of the soldiers from the prairie to cross the snowy mountains, rush thousands of miles, go around to the enemy's rear, and attack you from both front and rear!"

"When I go around the enemy's rear, we agree on a signal. If you see the signal from a distance, you will know that I am coming."

"You stick to the city, and you can take the initiative to attack when you see the signal. This time is the best time to use artillery and explosives, which can help you hit more with less, catch the enemy by surprise, and cause chaos to the enemy! "

"When I saw the enemy troops in chaos in the rear, I took the opportunity to attack with you from the front and back, defeat the enemy troops together, and completely suppress this rebellion!"

Zhao Wuwei's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Marshal Zhao would have such an idea!

Climb the snowy mountains, circle behind the enemy, and attack from both sides!

He immediately dissuaded him: "Generalissimo, I'm afraid this won't work. Even the herdsmen who herd sheep all year round don't dare to cross the Snowy Mountains. They are extinct all year round and are a complete no-man's land. All they have is endless emptiness. Anyone who tries to cross the Snowy Mountains will Everyone in the snowy mountains will die in it!

The Snow Mountain is not a real snow mountain, but a prairie in a snowy area. Because it is close to the north and the cold current is very heavy, it is covered with snow all year round and is very cold.

From the location of Chang'an City, it is indeed possible to take a detour through the Snowy Mountains and run to the back of the Huainan King's territory, but there is a distance of thousands of miles along the way!
