Chapter 279 Marching
The results of the reconnaissance team's day's search reassured Jiang Wei, and after resting in Songshan City for a night, he took a thousand troops out of the city, planning to save 70% of the way on the first day while preserving the physical strength of the soldiers. , the next day, that is, the day of the start, rushed outside Songhe City in one breath, and directly launched a siege after a short rest!
Jiang Wei, who had made a plan, did not relax, he kept the soldiers vigilant along the way, and sent scouts to scout around along the way.
But it turned out that he seemed to be a little too nervous, because there were no accidents along the way, and he could be said to have completed the first day of marching safely with a thousand troops.
"It seems that the other party has really turned back to Songhe City..." Jiang Wei thought about it again, the siege army outside Shangyuan City is no joke, let alone the siege tower has been used, who would dare Ignore such a threat?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. He camped for the night. The peaceful night made his tense nerves more relaxed. In the early morning, after letting the soldiers eat a little dry food, the army started again. As he moved forward, his marching efficiency was quite stable. According to the plan, it was estimated that he would have an hour or so to rest his troops before attacking the city at noon.
"General, Songhe City is ahead."
And that's true. After listening to the report of a soldier under his command, Jiang Wei was still relieved even though it was before the war. At least so far, the whole plan has not gone wrong.
Looking up to confirm the position of the sun in the sky, there was still some time before noon, Jiang Wei waved his hand and signaled the soldiers under his command to sit down, eat something, rest for a while, and take the final rest before the war.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dense sound of breaking through the air suddenly entered Jiang Wei's ears.
"Is there an ambush?!" Facing this sudden attack, Jiang Wei's troops were caught off guard on the spot, and a salvo caused them to suffer obvious casualties. more confusing.
Jiang Wei, the general who led the army, was even more shocked and angry at this moment. He never thought that the other party was not ambushing near Songshan City, but near Songhe City! !
"Everyone, calm down! All the shield and axe soldiers form a defensive formation to resist the arrow rain, and the halberdiers pay attention to the infantry troops that are raiding around!" Jiang Wei waved the bronze long sword in his hand and swept away the arrows that were shot towards him. , while giving instructions aloud.
At the same time, his line of sight quickly swept across the archer troop standing on the high ground in the distance, "Damn! It's the terrain, this archer troop is hiding in the area by the influence of the terrain height on the line of sight. Under that high ground?!"
Although he wanted to understand how the archer troop emerged, Jiang Wei still couldn't let it go, "Who is the commander-in-chief on the opposite side? The siege army of the city has already overwhelmed the border. Is he planning to ignore it? Abandon Songhe City? Or, the army ambushing here is the defending force of Dongjing City?!"
For a moment, Jiang Wei thought a lot in his mind, but the other party obviously did not intend to let him continue to think about it. While the archer troop was exposed and launched an attack, the shield and axe troop ambushing on the other side was also fast. Kill it out!
Guo Zhen, who was wearing a bronze armor, rushed to the front of the army. His gaze swept across Jiang Wei, who was sitting on the horse. A hint of disappointment flashed in Guo Zhen's eyes. He was eager to kill the enemy who vented his anger. This is not the case with generals, but no matter what, as long as they are enemies, then kill them all.
There are more troops waiting to ambush him here than Jiang Wei expected. The moment the shield and axemen from both sides collided, they almost broke the army formation that he had managed to stabilize again, and Jiang Wei was shocked to start hurriedly. Commanding the shield and axe troops in front to meet the enemy, at the same time, I couldn't help but feel even more strange, "So many troops? Are these outsiders really planning to give up Songhe City? I can't understand, Songhe City is a strategic place. If they give up, they will lose at least half of the advantages they have accumulated in the early stage! Wait, don’t tell me…”
As the thoughts flew around, Jiang Wei quickly thought of another possibility, "Could it be that the other party saw through His Majesty's plan and knew that we wanted to attack Songhe City back and forth, knowing that we couldn't hold it, so he simply gave up on his own initiative. After losing Songhe City, while preserving the troops, conduct a wave of ambush against me here, and then withdraw directly to Dongjing City and re-arrange it after the battle?"
The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. For a while, the pressure in his heart also rose, because if the other party did this, wouldn't his situation be in jeopardy? !
He secretly complained in his heart that he was facing the entanglement of the enemy here, and it was not so easy to get rid of it. Let the other side pay a price, and this troop around the back is undoubtedly the best choice.
Up to now, Jiang Wei can only command the soldiers under his command to resist with all his strength, hoping that the siege army of Shangyuan City on the other side can break Songhe City as soon as possible, and then rush here to support him.
However, Jiang Wei was destined to be disappointed. He probably couldn't think of it if he wanted to break his head. Luo Jida never planned to give up Songhe City from the very beginning. He also wants to defend, and even he wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Songshan City.
At this moment, with the approach of noon, the siege army of Shangyuan City gathered again outside the city wall to the west of Songhe City.
During these days, this army would come under their noses almost every day to show a sense of presence, but Zhao Pan, who had been appointed by Luo Ji as the general of Songhe City's defense, did not relax in the slightest.
After all, his own personality is extremely strict, let alone two days ago, Luo Ji just called a messenger to bring news and told him that the siege battle might be in these two days, so he was psychologically prepared to learn that It is even more impossible for Zhao Pan to relax on this news.
As for how did Luo Ji know? Very simple, the key point is the communication problem in this era, their news is delayed, and in order to avoid this, there is a very simple way, then calculate the schedule in advance, and set a day for everyone to start together.
As for the scouts sent by Luo Ji, after finding out that Jiang Wei's army of a thousand people had left Songshan City, he thought for a while after hearing the news. Was it difficult to conclude that the other party would launch a formal attack within two or three days? This hand can be said to be the victory of the intelligence war.
