LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 73 Rampant Countdown
The distance is less than a hundred miles, and at the speed of the cavalry, it can be reached in one day. After all, the tiger and leopard cavalry are not heavily armored, so they are still very fast.
"Baili..."
Situ Xuanran was a little emotional.
He never thought in his life that he would be standing here one day.
The capital of Dali, a hundred miles away, seemed to be within easy reach.
After looking at the sky, Situ Xuanran said:
"It's getting late now. Why don't we rush out early tomorrow morning? We can go to the capital of Dali before dark, rest for a day, and attack the city the next day."
His arrangements are very reasonable.
If we rush on the road now, even if we are cavalry, it will probably be late at night by the time we reach the capital of Dali.
Rushing late at night is a taboo for military strategists.
But Yuwen Chengdu took back the map.
"Tomorrow? It'll be too late!"
He got on his horse without hesitation.
"Tiger and Leopard Riders, assemble!"
Following Yuwen Chengdu's roar, all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry sergeants integrated their equipment and mounted their horses.
"General Situ, as before, you lead the army and move slowly. We will gather at the capital of Dali!"
After saying that, Yuwen Chengdu pinched the horse's belly.
The yellow flower horse left immediately.
Behind him, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rolled up smoke and dust.
Seeing this neat scene, Situ Xuanran was extremely shocked.
"What are you so anxious about?"
On the side, the deputy general thought for a while and said:
"General Guan Yuguan and General Qin Qiongqin seem to be arriving at the capital of Dali soon."
After hearing this, Situ Xuanran reacted.
No wonder Yuwen Chengdu is so anxious.
It turned out to be a competitor.
He smiled.
After fighting for a long time, the tension in his mind had disappeared.
There are three generals, Yuwen, Chengdu, Guan Yu and Qin Qiong.
The capture of the capital of Dali is already close at hand!
He turned around and said loudly:
"In that case, let's walk a little longer. We must arrive at the capital of Dali before sunset tomorrow!"
After saying that, he said something else in his heart.
"Even if you can't make it in time to attack the city, you can still get some credit if you go there earlier."
As for grabbing the first credit?
With three people here, he had long since given up on this idea.
To the north, Guan Yu stood at the head of a city, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand still bleeding.
"Where are the other two routes?"
There was a touch of arrogance on his face.
Normally, this expression would make people very dissatisfied, but the faces of the Black Armor Army and Euphorbia Soldiers under his command were filled with admiration.
Ao with strength can only make people awe.
"General, Tanma has just received news that General Yuwen has led his people to arrive less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Dali."
Guan Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"In addition, General Qin Qiong has captured Fancheng."
“Fan Cheng?
Doesn't that mean that it is less than fifty miles away from the capital of Dali? "
Guan Yu's face was already ugly.
He thought that his speed in conquering cities and territories was fast enough, but now it seems that he is actually the slowest one.
The last one to arrive, how could he accept such a result.
Although he had not only cavalry but also infantry under his command, this was not a reason in his eyes.
After wiping the blood on the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, Guan Yu said:
"The Euphorbia soldiers cleared the battlefield, and the Xuanjia soldiers rested on the spot. Half an hour later, three thousand Xuanjia soldiers set off with me.
A certain family has to rush to the capital of Dali overnight! "
Hearing this, the deputy general on the side looked shocked.
“What about the Euphorbia?
How can we attack the city with only three thousand mysterious soldiers? "
Guan Yu glanced at him.
"Who said cavalry can't attack the city, are you afraid?"
Upon hearing this, the deputy general slammed his right hand on his chest and saluted.
"General, go and summon the Xuanjia Army now!"
afraid?
Even though he is only a fourth grade.
But with the general in question, he would die without any regrets!
After Qin Qiong on the other side captured Fancheng, he sent the news to Tan Ma.
After hearing that the other two armies were not far from Dali, he pondered for a moment and said the same:
"Thank you all for your hard work tonight. We are traveling all night. We must reach the capital of Dali before dawn."
Among the three armies, Yuwen Chengdu has the smallest number of troops, but Yuwen Chengdu himself is a peerless one.
Guan Yu had infantry under his command, and his marching speed was the slowest, but Guan Yu had already broken through to the first level, and was able to capture cities and territories, and his strength was extraordinary.
Only he himself is still only at the second level.
The only thing he can rely on is strategy.
And if you want to conquer the capital of Dali, you cannot rely solely on strategy.
The capital of a country has high walls and thick walls, as well as countless elite soldiers.
In this battle, the only way to gain the upper hand is to arrive first!
At this moment, in the capital of Dali, the leader of Dali looked sad.
Although it is already afternoon.
But the courtiers did not disperse.
"Now Daqian's army is about to approach the city. Haven't you guys figured out any strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
The Lord of Dali spoke.
The entire hall was extremely silent.
Finally, an old minister stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the army of troops and horses is now coming with great ferocity. In just one month, they have broken through more than a dozen cities in a row, and even three roads are advancing at the same time. Our many passes in Dali are actually unable to stop them for a moment, as if they are in an uninhabited country.
This battle is difficult..."
After hearing his words, the leader of Dali looked ugly.
What he wants is a strategy, not such a speech that shakes the morale of the army.
However, this man was a veteran of three dynasties, and now that a war was imminent, he could not move.
"What about the others? We in Dali are full of talented people. Is there no one who can come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Suddenly someone stood up.
He saluted respectfully, then stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the difference between me in Dali and the army of Daqian is only the generals.
Da Qian didn't know when he had trained a first-grade strong man, and even Yu Wenwei was killed.
It is normal for such a strong person to lead an army and conquer an idle city, as if he were entering a deserted land. "
With confidence on his face, he continued:
"But our capital, Dali, is ten feet high and three feet wide. It can accommodate chariots and horses.
Even a first-class master cannot climb the wall.
Our army is on the defensive again, with 100,000 troops on standby in the city, more than 300,000 subjects holding on, and plenty of food and grass. "
After talking about the advantages, he said confidently:
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to attack a city. With a hundred thousand troops in hand, we already have an advantage.
According to the battle report, the Daqian army can reach the city in three days at most.
To be sure, you can send people out of the city, move all the people outside the city into the city, and destroy all the houses, food and grass, and even everything that can be used.
In this way, the large army was left alone and helpless. "
High enough!
Enough!
Many Dali courtiers were shocked.
I didn't expect that this person actually had such talent. In this case, the other party really didn't have any chance.
And he hasn't finished speaking yet.
"There are more kings in the country waiting for the arrival of King Qin's army, and they should cooperate with each other inside and outside, and the thief will die!
Why should we fear it? "
As he spoke, he turned back to look at the courtiers.
"You humiliate your ministers and die, now is the time for me to die.
This general is willing to be a pioneer and guard the city of Dali. After this general dies, you will come again! "
Hearing his words, the Lord of Dali yelled.
"it is good!
With your family here, I have no worries! "
As he spoke, the Lord of Dali spoke:
"Today, I appoint Jiang Yan as general in the face of danger, and the entire city's troops will be commanded by Jiang Yan!"
Jiang Yan was overjoyed.
"I will never disgrace my orders!"
next court.
Jiang Yan walked with his head held high.
His strength is insufficient, he is only at the fourth level, so he has not been taken seriously in the court.
But now, it's time to show off his talents!
There are hundreds of thousands of troops here, first rank?
It can be destroyed with the snap of a finger.
However, he was not careless and immediately called his confidants and said:
"Send 40,000 people out of the city overnight, and go to all four directions, with a radius of twenty miles, to clear the fields with strong walls!"
A strong army?
These three days are their rampant countdown.
