Chapter 187 Surprise Attack on Minwei Mansion
Chapter 187 Surprise Attack on Minwei Mansion
The war broke out in the early morning of August [-]th.
Taixuzong's garrison troops in Zhaoyao County's prefectures were uneven, half of the Zhaoyao army was stationed in Tangting Mansion alone, and only two brigades, [-] troops, were stationed in Fuyang Mansion and Jiwei Mansion.
This is also one of the reasons why Guo Jia proposed to attack Jiwei Mansion.
The seventh and eighth brigades of the Zhaoyao Army stationed in Jiwei Mansion, of which the seventh brigade was stationed in Jiwei City, and the eighth brigade was stationed on the border with Qingqiu Mansion.
In the early morning, the [-]nd Brigade of the [-]st Division of the Southwest Corps led by Yue Yun suddenly crossed the border of Qingyu County and marched towards the nearby Baishui County of Jiwei Prefecture.
That's where the Eighth Brigade of the Swagger Army is stationed.
As Qianyuan restored the title of king of Qin and swaggered to the prefecture, Taixuzong had long regarded Qingqiu City as the biggest enemy, and set up a large number of checkpoints on the border.
It took less than half an hour for Yue Yun's troops to cross the border, and the news was reported to Qingshui County.
Liu Kezhang, commander of the Eighth Brigade stationed here, trembled unconsciously when he got the news, showing his fear of the Southwest Corps.
No wonder.
Liu Kezhang was originally a deputy battalion commander of the Second Division of the Southern Army. Thanks to Xue Shaoyun's simple promotion, he was able to rise to a high position and became the brigade commander in one fell swoop.
But which of the former divisions of the Second Division is not afraid of the Southwest Corps?
The history of the prosperity and rise of the Southwest Corps is basically also the history of the humiliation and humiliation of the Second Division. If things go on like this, the subconscious mind has the impression that the Southwest Corps is so strong.
Not to mention, the Eighth Brigade he is now commanding is still a new army from the ground up, and has never fought a serious battle.
I have no idea.
Hearing the attack from Yue Yun's troops suddenly, Liu Kezhang subconsciously wanted to retreat with his troops, but he didn't dare, because there was also a supervisor in the army, an inner disciple of the Taixu Sect, Yu Renjie, a monk in the early stage of entraining Qi.
That is the real master of the Eighth Brigade.
This also shows the background of Taixuzong. Only the division level of the Southwest Corps is equipped with Qi-entraining monks to sit in the command, but in the Zhaoyao Army, there are Qi-entraining monks at the brigade level.
Completely crushed.
Liu Kezhang took the information and found Yu Renjie. He was not stupid enough to directly propose to withdraw the troops. Instead, he said, "Master, should you write a letter to the Seventh Brigade and ask the Seventh Brigade to rush to the front for reinforcements immediately?"
"What are you panicking about?!"
The disciples of the super sect have an extraordinary bearing. Yu Renjie frowned slightly, and scolded Liu Kezhang as if scolding his subordinates, without any consideration that Liu Kezhang was the nominal supreme commander of the Eighth Brigade.
Although Liu Kezhang was not angry, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
He was originally only a mid-stage martial artist, but with the help of three blood-changing pills, he suddenly broke through to the early stage of Wuzong.
It is equivalent to exchanging future potential for current strength.
In front of senior monks like Yu Renjie, Liu Kezhang didn't dare to have any thoughts. He was afraid that Yu Renjie would catch him if he thought about it.
Liu Kezhang is not stupid.
Yu Renjie didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The enemy is a brigade, and we are also a brigade. There are about the same number of people. What are you afraid of them doing? Come and come."
Liu Kezhang had a headache.
What Yu Renjie said was completely the thinking of a military novice, thinking that war is a simple numbers game, and he couldn't see the deep meaning behind the numbers.
The same military strength, equipment level, personnel quality, training level, general ability, logistical support ability, etc., are the real elements that determine the combat power of an army.
In order to persuade Yu Renjie, Liu Kezhang said again: "In addition to the enemy's second brigade, the enemy's third brigade is also moving to the border. It is not appropriate to use one against two."
After hearing this, Yu Renjie paid more attention to it. He frowned and said, "What are they going to do? Are they going to start an all-out war with Zongmen?"
"This……"
Liu Kezhang didn't know how to answer.
"I know about this, you go to prepare for the battle." Yu Renjie said lightly.
Liu Kezhang was going crazy.
What do I know?
You gave a clear instruction, what is this?
Unexpectedly, he didn't dare to ask questions, so he could only go back to the big tent depressed, and issued a series of military orders to order all the teams scattered at the checkpoints to gather at the base camp.
If it doesn't work, I can only stick to the city of Qingshui County.
After Liu Kezhang left, Yu Renjie thought for a while, and sent a flying sword letter to Zhang Wenqi, the supervisor of the Seventh Brigade stationed in Jiwei City, who was also his brother Zhang Wenqi, briefly describing the invasion of the Southwest Corps.
As for the side of the swagger city, Yu Renjie was not in a hurry to report.
One is according to the level, Zhang Wenqi is the highest person in charge of the sect in Jiwei Mansion, and Zhang Wenqi is the one who needs to report.
Second, Yu Renjie didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.
In Yu Renjie's eyes, even if the enemy dispatched two brigades, they would still have two brigades, and they were still fighting at home, afraid of what he might do.
Wouldn't it make him appear incompetent to report rashly? !
…………
Mino City.
After receiving the flying sword letter from his younger brother Yu Renjie, Zhang Wenqi immediately found Fan Xianyong, commander of the Seventh Brigade, and informed him of the cross-border invasion of the Southwest Corps.
"General Fan, what do you think of this matter?"
Compared with Yu Renjie, Zhang Wenqi is undoubtedly much more stable, and he respects the leading generals more.
Fan Xianyong finished reading the battle report, thought for a while, and said, "Mage, I suggest that the Eighth Brigade choose an opportunity to evacuate to Jiwei City, join my troops, and gather in the city to defend."
As long as the Minwei City is not lost, the Minwei Mansion will not be lost.
Zhang Wenqi frowned slightly, "Why, you're not optimistic about this battle?" Although he acted more calmly, in terms of military accomplishment, he was on par with Yu Renjie.
It doesn't know where to go.
Fan Xianyong was a middle-aged general. He was originally a senior battalion commander of the Second Division. The eighth brigade is a new army that has never fought, while the Southwest Corps has been fighting against the demon army all year round. The gap in strength exists objectively and does not depend on individual will."
Zhang Wenqi nodded, surprisingly did not object, thought for a while, and said, "Just do as you say."
"promise!"
Fan Xianyong breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful for Zhang Wenqi's trust. He clasped his fists and left. He wanted to gather troops in the shortest possible time and consolidate the city defenses in case the enemy attacked.
Sending Fan Xianyong away, Zhang Wenqi paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and finally made up his mind to send an urgent letter to Xue Shaoyun, the true disciple of the Zongmen and his elder brother Xue Shaoyun.
Jiwei City is too far away from Zhaoyao City, with Zhang Wenqi's cultivation level in the entraining period, it is impossible for him to send flying swords across a whole house.
Fortunately, the urgent mail will be delivered by a martial artist riding a high-level monster, and it can be delivered to Zhaoyao City within a day.
Of course Zhang Wenqi didn't believe that Jiwei City wouldn't be able to hold on for even a day.
In the letter, Zhang Wenqi did not mention the request for reinforcements, but just reported the matter as it was, and at the same time stated that he would lead his troops to defend Jiwei City.
Zhang Wenqi believes that the big brother will make his own decision.
…………
Liu Kezhang, commander of the Eighth Brigade, was surprised and suspicious of the subsequent development of the battle.
First, the enemy's third brigade, after moving to the border, stopped slowly, as if there was no intention to go any further, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
And the enemy's second brigade, after crossing the border, also moved unhurriedly towards Qingshui County, with a well-organized army, not like a hurried march.
"What is this about?"
Liu Kezhang couldn't figure it out for a long time. Since it was a surprise attack, why didn't he advance quickly?
PS: Later, there should be another update
