I’m The King Chapter 747: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (19)
Obviously, the firework report in the outpost alarmed all the scouts of the Zhengdong Army in this area. With three guards, there should be no surprises in this area where the scouts of the Zhengdong Army have controlled the situation.
When approaching the outpost, Zhang Xi already smelled the strong smell of blood in the air, and his heart sank involuntarily. Speeding up his pace, he rushed over. In front of the outpost, several scouts who arrived early had already stood there, and in front of them, a scout from the Eastern Expedition Army was lying there on his back, with one hand still tightly holding A longbow, and a short dagger stuck in his chest, to the surprise of all the scouts, this short dagger belonged to the dead scout himself.
Zhang Xi stepped into the outpost with heavy steps, where [猪^猪^岛^新闻][www].[zhu][].[], there were still the bodies of two soldiers lying there, Zhang Xi crouched He got down and carefully examined the body of his dead companion. One head was almost shattered, and his face could not be discerned at all. Beside him was a **** pole, and on the other side, another There was a thin strangle mark on the neck of the soldier who fell on the ground. Seeing this wound, Zhang Xi's heart jumped. What ordinary people can have, Zhang Xi has one in the Overwatch Council's action team. He has seen this kind of similar weapon with him. Don't underestimate a thin rope, but it can bear hundreds of catties.
This is not an enemy scout. During this period of time, hundreds of enemy scouts have been killed, and no such weapon has ever been found on the opponent.
Zhang Xi stood up, picked out the pole, walked out the door, and threw it on the ground with a bang.
A moment later, other scouts found some tattered clothes from around. Sweat towels, straw sandals, etc., when these things are piled up, the identity of the other party is ready to be revealed.
"It's not the other party's scout. Looking at these outfits, it should be a coolie doing the work." Zhang Xi said.
"In other words, this is a spy."
"He changed into our clothes here, took our weapons and food, and absconded again."
"He has only one goal. That is Xiaoshan Pass."
"Then why hesitate? Go after him and kill him."
A group of scouts quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.
Looking at the corpses of the three comrades-in-arms on the ground, Zhang Xi took a step forward, "Although it was a surprise attack, he was able to kill three of our comrades. In the process, we must at least maintain a team of two, and we must never be alone. Because after we are alone, none of us will be his opponent. Judging from the way this person kills, I am afraid that he is a master among Yan Lingwei. We Someone needs to report back immediately, since this person is a spy of Yan Lingwei who is lurking in Liaoxi County, returning at this moment must have taken away vital information. We need to let the officers know about this situation. Who will go back?"
No one answered, Zhang Xi looked around the crowd, "He Tianju. You were injured two days ago, and you haven't recovered yet. You go back."
"Yes, captain!" He Tianju was a little unwilling, but they were not in the mood to bargain.
"Don't pout, I caught a scout from the other side, and now I don't have time to pay attention to him. When you go back, just do him, and ask the brother lying here for a little interest first. "Zhang Xi pointed out his previous position to He Tianju, then turned his head, looked at other people and said, "Let's go, that guy should not have gone far."
When Zhang Xi and his scouts were looking for the murderer like crazy, in Liaoxi County, Ye Zhong was summoning two of his generals, Zheng Xiaoyang and Tie Xuan.
The two generals are not very interested, because this time, Liaoxi County is only a partial division, and the main direction of attack is not theirs.
"Commander Ye, I'm thinking, if our partial division beat Hu Yanchao until he peed his pants, would the governor think we violated his combat strategy?" Zheng Xiaoyang asked some curiously.
"Hu Yanchao is so easy to fight?" Ye Zhong gave him a half-smile look, "This man is in Liaoning Wei, with more than ten thousand standing troops and thousands of civilians, he forcibly held Dong Hu's tens of thousands of horses. Attacking but standing still, and finally retreating unharmed, this person's ability can be seen from this. Tanfeng Zhou Yu left him to guard Langya because he took a fancy to his skill in defense. This person went to Langya Afterwards, it was also based on defense. Not only was Langya county city re-fortified and heightened, but on our way forward, all county towns have also undergone major changes. I have a lot of experience!"
"The Eastern Conqueror Army is invincible, and there is no castle that cannot be defeated." Tie Xuan said flatly, "Whether he is impregnable or not, smash him to pieces."
"Don't be too complacent, don't talk about anything else, just the Xiaoshan Pass on Xiaoyang's way forward is a tough nut to crack. It is large, but the terrain is dangerous, and the 3,000 troops stationed there are all the elites who have withdrawn from Donghu. This time we have the opportunity to take it down. Only when Xiaoshan Pass is taken down, can we open the door to Langya in the future. In the future, we can attack if we want to attack, and retreat if we want to retreat. It is the Xiaoshan mountain range, which is Langya's gate of life."
"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely take it down."
"I have carefully studied Hu Yanchao's battle in Liaoning Wei. This man never defended the city, but defended the city and led the attack. He would often switch and attack. This Wu Bo, since he is Hu Yanchao's love General, must also be proficient in this move, when attacking Xiaoshan Pass, you must pay attention to this point."
"I will write it down at the end."
"Tie Xuan, you lead your team to Xiegu and detour for hundreds of miles. The goal is to take Xintian County in Langya County. Stay here, as for how to make the enemy not suspect your purpose, it depends on you. I have assigned everything in the entire group army to you, and you should know the meaning of this."
"Understood!" Tie Xuan nodded heavily, "Take Xintian. Pretend to enter Langya, wait for the opportunity, turn south, cooperate with the governor, and kill Tianhe."
"Our here is a partial division, but if there is a problem with the partial division, it will go directly to the frontal battlefield. This time the governor is going to come to Jicheng, and he wants the soldiers to be fast. The fight is a surprise, so This time, the army led by the commander-in-chief only has 20,000 troops from the Young Guards. If we don’t fight well and let Hu Yanchao free his hands, it is very likely that we will reach the commander-in-chief’s flank. So, Xiaoyang, take it! After Xiaoshan Pass, Hu Yanchao must be firmly stuck in Langya County and cannot move."
"Understood!"
"Kongde attacked Anlu. When we fight Langya, we fight each other. It depends on who can last longer, but I'm afraid I can't think of it. This time the real battlefield is in Tianhe." Ye Zhong Murderously said: "When the governor's troops approach Jicheng, the whole chess game will come to life. Langya and Yuyang will all be shaken. At that time, we can decide the next move according to the opponent's actions."
"The governor is going to take Jicheng this time?" Zheng Xiaoyang said excitedly.
"That's such an easy thing." Ye Chong smiled, "Soldiers are coming to Jicheng. Ji Ling must be in a panic. Defending Jicheng is what he has to do, but he can only mobilize two soldiers. Either Hu Yanchao from Langya, or Kong De from Yuyang, and we got one of these sites based on them. According to the estimates of the political councilors, if all goes well, the other party may give up Yuyang Yang."
"Why not Langya?"
"It turns out that Yuyang is the border of Yanzhao. After we take Yuyang, we have to be distracted to guard against Zhao Guo. Zhou Changshou is not an easy guy to deal with! He is one of Zhao Mu's two Hunha generals, Zhou Changshou is treacherous, Wu Zeng is brave, both of them are difficult characters, in comparison, Ji Ling is naturally willing to give up Yuyang, let us compete with Zhao Guo."
"Hmph, anyway, I did fight with them in Dai County, and I'm not bad at Yuyang. It's just a pity that I can't take down Jicheng this time!"
"If we really want to think about it, we might end up in a bad battle. We won't be able to destroy the Yan Kingdom until we destroy Donghu. Just wait, there will be such a day." Ye Zhong said .
"By the way, Commander, the scouts under my command are chasing and killing that Yan Lingwei spy like crazy. Has the Overwatch Council found anything?"
"This person should be a member of Yan Lingwei. Judging from the current investigation, this person has been dressed as a coolie and has been in Liaoxi County for two years. And the group of coolies he belongs to, this Participated in the transfer of our military equipment once~IndoMTL.com~This person should be a veteran, from these military equipment, he has judged the number of our troops and the direction of attack, so he thought of fleeing back to report, He was able to kill our three scouts, this person is very skilled, but until now, the true identity of this person has not been found out."
"This group of incompetent guys from the Overwatch Council actually allowed a spy from Yan Lingwei to stay in Liaoxi County for nearly two years. " Zheng Xiaoyang was a little annoyed, "Those scouts may not be able to stop him."
"There must be troubles, but they won't affect much. Hu Yanchao knew that we were going to fight, and he made corresponding preparations. If this guy really wants to go back, maybe Hu Yanchao will make some wrong judgments."
Zheng Xiaoyang suddenly realized, "That's right, the real purpose of this attack is that there are only three of us in Liaoxi County, and the governor of Zheng County knows that the soldiers below all thought that we were going to attack Langya on a large scale. I also heard the rumors from the soldiers that the governor transferred the Helanxiong cavalry unit in Panshan!"
Ye Zhong laughed loudly, "It may be that we gathered the cavalry of the whole army group to march together, which created some illusions for them. There are mistakes and wrong moves. Well, there is no need to prohibit them, let them pass like this. Even our own people believe it, so we are not afraid that Hu Yanchao will not believe it." (To be continued...)
