Queen Flower - Chapter 254
I have a hunch that this kind of thing is uncertain and needs factual basis. The person sent to Xijing, the capital of Emperor Murong Jian, has not yet returned, so I will first check with an old man who knows the history of Zunguo.
It’s just a long time ago. King Yongping did have several sons and daughters before the rebellion, but after the rebellion ended, only Murong Jian was left. At that time, King Yongping’s favorite was the eldest son. It is said that he was a man of handsome appearance, both civil and military, with ruthless means, but a noble character. If he had inherited the throne back then, how could Zunguo have fallen to such a reputation and chaotic war. level.
Jiang Lan decided to talk about this later. The most urgent task at the moment is to kill the enemy at the door.
“How about we, Yan Zhan will continue to stay here and deal with them, and I will cut off their supply line and call back later?” Jiang Lan looked at the sand pile map and said.
To say that the most difficult part of this war is not the people, but the unfamiliarity with the terrain. This is the reason why Yan Zhan cannot win.
For local wars, even if there is a basic topographic map of the country, it will not help. It is too general and the details cannot be examined. Although before the outbreak of the war, he had sent many people out to survey the terrain, find familiar people to describe it, and even used sand to simulate the terrain, but it was obvious that the enemy knew better, so he would be ambushed.
Xia Henqiu said: “I agree with the tactics, Yan Zhan can confuse the enemy here, but you can’t go.”
“Yes, as a queen, you can’t do such a dangerous thing.” Xiao Yan nodded, “Let me do it.”
Jiang Lan waved her hand, she didn’t feel that she was the queen, the real king was Murong Xiling, she still wanted to be a general, and it was not enough for her to command the overall situation, only local battles. She made a decision. “Xiao Yan and I took 50,000 soldiers, and Xia Henqiu received me.”
Both Xiao Yan and Xia Henqiu were against it, and it was too dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines.
Yan Zhan glanced at Jiang Lan, and knew that this person was also stubborn. He remembered how she shot the enemy commander in the last battle. There was a cold light in his brows, which he couldn’t see at ordinary times, but at a critical moment, In fact, she is calmer and braver than anyone else.
“Okay. I also wanted to do this before, but the troops are not enough.” Yan Zhan said, “But. The three of you must go together, bring 100,000 troops, don’t need to outflank, you can occupy the nearby stronghold, and we will nibble it. Step by step. “
“Good idea, let’s eat Beidi one bite at a time.” Jiang Lan rested on the table with one hand, with bright eyes.
The soldiers should not be too late, Jiang Lan led the army to set off, took away 100,000, and left 100,000. Supplement Yan Zhan’s help. Due to the problem of food and grass, she could not go very deep, so she chose the nearest city. Decided to take over there.
After she left, Yan Zhan fought with the opponent again, but everyone did not fight in depth, and it was quite routine, which made people puzzled. Because Murong Jian was always incompetent. Therefore, his army’s combat ability was questioned, but he was very powerful before. It suddenly became weaker now, as if the ambush of Yan Zhan not long ago was completely accidental and fluke.
Yan Zhan does not fight back, defeats and does not pursue when he has not figured out the enemy’s intentions, and maintains the status quo.
Jiang Lan and his party marched for a long time, but had not yet reached the target. The three investigators brought a small team back to report the military situation. They found the enemy’s camp dozens of miles away. The camp was large, but the number of people was unknown.
Could it be that there are also people like them who sent another army to surround and destroy Yan Zhan from behind? Jiang Lan pondered for a moment, since she met her, she naturally wanted to eliminate it.
“Is there any intentional movement in the enemy camp?” Jiang Lan asked.
The third son replied: “It seems calm, the soldiers are very natural.”
So you haven’t found them yet?
Jiang Lan touched his chin, turned around and said to Xiao Yan and Xia Henqiu, “How about we go in the dark tonight and burn it?”
The two eyes flashed and nodded.
That night, Jiang Lan took 5,000 men and horses, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan took her arsonite and went straight to the enemy overnight. The rest of the army camped in a hidden place and was led by Xia Henqiu.
The five thousand people moved quickly and kept their footsteps. When it was still dark when they arrived, they covered their bodies and hid in the woods on the mountain until midnight.
This camp is really big, and I don’t know how many people there are.
When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the autumn wind was rustling, and the night was quiet, everyone appeared in batches when they were ready.
Xiao Yan and Jiang Lan stepped lightly, jumped up to the sentry building, dealt with the outermost guards without making a sound, and then brought the most powerful people into the camp, leaving all the mixture inside, especially It is the grain that has received the most attention.
Soon, the patrolling sentries in the stockade noticed the flickering of the figure, the torch lit quickly, the alarm was raised, and the camp began to riot.
The figures who sneaked in did not panic, and immediately lit the fire book and threw it out. The fire began to burn. With so much nitrate and sulfur, the fire quickly spread into the sky, just like a long dragon, with countless lines of fire rising, although Not as good as gunpowder, but a really good incendiary bomb. Seeing that the entire camp was caught in flames, the speed was so fast that it could not be extinguished at all.
When the fire broke out, everyone quickly evacuated, and occasionally fought with others, but when the foreign exchange was in harmony, most of them successfully evacuated, and there were few casualties.
But seeing the enemy’s campers neighing, the sound of flame “Pibo” suddenly rose, and occasionally there was a slight explosion, the flames were scurrying, and there was a pungent smell in the air. At least all the combat preparations were Scrap, people can run, things have no legs.
Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Jiang Lan immediately announced his retreat.
She had discovered just now that there are not many people in this barracks, and many tents are empty, but since it is so large, it means that there must be such a team. If you don’t camp at night, you must go out and do something. Woolen cloth? Maybe it is possible to sneak attack on them.
So the top priority is that they have to go back quickly, hoping that Xia Henqiu will not follow their path.
When they hurried back, they found that they had been expected, it was a courtesy exchange, and when Jiang Lan led his troops to attack the enemy camp at night, the other party did the same thing.
The difference is that when Xia Henqiu camped, he was ready to be attacked at night, because it was mutual to find out that this kind of thing was mutual, and it was easy for so many people to be discovered by the other party. Therefore, the soldiers in each tent take turns to rest in batches, and are always ready to fight, but on the surface, it is impossible to see that the replacement of the guards outside the tent is as usual, so that when the real night strikes, there is no panic at all, but the attackers. Was counterattacked.
Xia Henqiu commanded Da Ding, with sufficient troops, and beat the incoming enemy to the ground.
When Jiang Lan returned to the main camp successfully, the battle here was over, and it was considered a victory reunion.
Jiang Lan couldn’t help but feel a little proud, she was considered competent as a general.
The soldiers dug a pit and dealt with the battlefield. Jiang Lan glanced at the big pit and asked, “The rest of the people ran away?”
Xia Henqiu nodded, “I thought poor thieves wouldn’t chase after him.”
Jiang Lan smiled, it was natural, but she always felt that something was wrong, where was it?
