Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 90 Northern Expedition (3)
Each small black flag represents a division of the Western Frontier Army. More than a dozen divisions are gathered on the front line of Merrington/Anyuan and Tianshui. However, his sinister intentions are clearly revealed, but the urgent report he sent to the capital has not yet been returned by the Prime Minister. If he does not make a decision again, I am afraid that once the yellow flag changes into several black flags , everything will be too late.
However, in the early stage, the prime minister still clearly ordered him not to give up on Pinlu without authorization. Would the prime minister, who was unwilling to give up even Pinglu, agree to his plan to give up Qinghe and Pinglu? Nick was not sure. Nick vaguely knew that the prime minister used Qinghe The good land and fertile land of the two prefectures of Pinglu and the nobles of the country have made deals with the nobles in the country. The continuous supply of food in the country is probably due to the deal made between the prime minister and the nobles. It turned into nothing, and Nick didn't know whether the Prime Minister could resolve such a problem.
Nick didn't know that Prime Minister Gomez could do this, but now he couldn't afford to wait any longer. He had made an exception and postponed it by one more day, which is the most taboo for a handsome man, but he couldn't No wait, the pressure the Prime Minister is facing can be imagined. Once the news of my unauthorized withdrawal of troops is sent back to the capital, even if I return to the capital, I am afraid that the nobles will eat me alive. Intelligence has confirmed that the one who entered Tianshui in the south is Xi The Fifth Legion of the Xinjiang Army, that is, the Legion formed by Li Wufeng's original two guard divisions, and the one who entered Anyuan turned out to be the First Army, known as the First Army of Western Xinjiang, and this First Army actually had a northward advance There is a sign that Terok has already stationed 200,000 western Xinjiang infantry troops. If the First Army enters Terok again, will Li Wufeng really want to eat Fan Lin at all costs?
The chime clock on the wall finally rang twelve times, and there was still no movement outside the door. It was obvious that the order from the Prime Minister had not yet arrived, but he would be outside, and the king's fate was not accepted, so Nick had to make a choice.
Sighing deeply, Nick stood up and settled the case with both hands. The map on the desk became somewhat blurred. Could it be that the Southern Expedition ended like this? Countless Kamenerangs were sacrificed, how much blood and declarations were paid, In the end, it ended up like this, so what is the significance of such a southern expedition?
Nick didn't know if he would have a chance to come back here if he returned from the camp. He looked around in a daze. Carved wood furniture seems to be so human at this moment.
"Come here! Go and invite the two regiment commanders and their subordinate Wanfuchang Wanqichang to come to the living room to discuss matters." Crushing the map on the desk into a ball, everything is over, Qinghe, Pinglu , everything here, mountains and rivers, can only be left in memory.
Bo Jinchen's premonition was correct. When Wufeng issued the order to launch the Qingping campaign to the east, he decisively ordered the Terok National Defense Army to take over the Nanjie Locke Army to take charge of Merrington's defense, and let Zhan Botao lead Nanjie A division of Locke's Legion and a Ranger regiment rushed east overnight, resolutely blocking the northward return route of Nick's southern conquest, followed by two subsequent divisions, and at the same time notified the Fifth Army stationed in Tianshui and Hejian The Third Army quickly marched northward. He knew that a scheming general like Nick not only had an extremely keen sense of smell and premonition, but also acted decisively. , will definitely respond in the first time. If one's own side is a little negligent, the other party may take the opportunity to slip away.
The pitch-black night shrouded the entire land, the entire Pinglu Mansion had already declared martial law, and the streets in the city were guarded every five steps, one post and three steps, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, except for the sound of horseshoes With the sound of wheels and neat footsteps, the whole city seems to have become much calmer.
Two dark shadows quietly approached the Bell and Drum Tower in the north of the city. This is the highest point in the entire Pinglu Prefecture. See how your eyesight is doing. When approaching the lower part of the Bell and Drum Tower, the steps of the two shadows were obviously much slower, especially the one in front was looking left and right, fearing that the noise would attract the patrolling soldiers who came and went on the street from time to time. However, the latter figure was sneaking along with a black shadow in front, while carefully guarding the rear. This is already the core of Kaman's army's security. There are sentries here. If you want to climb the Bell and Drum Tower, you must solve the sentries who are guarding downstairs.
Slowly approaching the window lattice along the base of the wall, not squinting at the movement of the gate at the gatehouse ahead from the corner of the eye, the black shadow in front finally climbed up the window lattice, and gently opened the ventilation window above the window lattice, a little bit Putting your head close to the corner of the window, you can see two Kaman soldiers in the room stomping their feet to keep warm, but another soldier has already picked up the long gun leaning on the weapon rack and is ready to go out.
"Okay, don't stand there stupidly, it's the same cold everywhere, it's better to go out for a walk, the feet will be much warmer. Hurry up, don't let the centurion see it, and watch your backs." I greeted the two soldiers impatiently. The one who was about to go out was probably a veteran. Before going out, he looked around subconsciously, but the shadow on the sunken window had already signaled to the shadow behind him Hidden well.
Maybe it was the soldiers who couldn't wait to chatter in the room. The veteran raised his spear and pushed the door out. The inflated balloon suddenly lost its strength and deflated softly. The spear in his hand slipped and was about to fall to the ground. The black shadow who had just retracted the dagger dexterously moved the spear firmly against the wall. .
The two recruits were unaware of the drastic changes that had taken place outside the door. He was swooped down from another black shadow attached to the window sill, and before he could even see anything clearly, his throat was crushed, and there was a vague murmur in his throat, and everything fell into darkness and silence.
"Quickly, hide the bodies of the three of them. It will take some time for the Kamans to change their whistle. Let's hurry up and see what the **** the Kamans are up to." Lowering his voice, a black shadow had already flashed in. After leaving the room, climb up the spiral staircase quietly, the sentry post below has been resolved, and now only the guard at the top of the Bell and Drum Tower is left.
When the black shadows of the corpses downstairs were cleaned up and followed the stairs, the battle at the top of the building was over, and it didn't take much effort, because the sentry guarding the Bell and Drum Towers was actually dozing off, and their lives were ended in their sleep .
"It seems that the Kaman people have lost a lot. They have replenished a lot of recruits, and their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. Let us be nervous for nothing." Taking out the binoculars, the black shadow who arrived first has carefully moved his body closer to the probe. out, look to the north.
Before waiting, the black shadow moved to the side to see clearly, the whole body of the black shadow holding the binoculars was shaken, and he yelled: "Oops!"
"What's wrong?" Another black shadow was also taken aback and asked hastily.
"Come and see, why is the field so empty?!" The black shadow hastily handed the telescope to the other party in order to confirm.
Afterwards, Hei Ying hurriedly raised his binoculars to look down. The arena was brightly lit, and the patrols coming and going seemed to be in a steady stream, but for a large arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, these troops were obviously too much. Thin.
"There are quite a few tents, but they all seem to be empty. Could it be that they haven't been mobilized yet?" He handed the binoculars back to the other party with some hesitation, and then the black shadow hesitantly said.
"Impossible! What time is it now? Since the Kaman people have declared martial law ~IndoMTL.com~, it means that they have realized the seriousness of the situation. The martial law has been going on for almost two days. Action?" Rejecting the opinion of his companions, the black shadow said anxiously earlier: "The Kamans must have acted first. Do you remember that the Kamanians declared martial law for a long time in the name of arresting spies? It must be The problem that happened at that time, I was wondering how the capture of spies would cause the army to go to war, and from that day on, people around the field were not allowed to approach. I thought our actions were noticed by the Kamans Well, now it seems that the Kaman people are playing a trick, and it must be that the main force covering them has retreated northward, and we have been negligent!"
I saw my companion sighing with self-blame, and the other black shadow was also a little uneasy. As the intelligence department's eyeliner in Pinglu, although they tried their best, they still didn't expect the Kamans to react so quickly. , a thought quietly flashed through my mind, but this moment is not the time to explore this issue, so I can only comfort him: "The situation is not yet confirmed, why don't we check it?"
"No need, it's too late now, we must report this situation to the north immediately, it's too late to go through the formal procedures, you sneak out of the city now, and hurry to Merrington, I guess Merrington's side We should also be prepared. What we need to do now is to inform them. The Kaman people have given up Pinglu so early, and there will be no other surprises. Please consider them. I have to report to the south immediately and ask them. Immediately go north." At this time, the previous black shadow showed a rare decisiveness, and the tone was indisputable.
"Okay, I'll go right away, and you should be careful." This is no longer the time to give in. The two shadows quickly disappeared under the Bell and Drum Tower, and everything seemed to be calm again, as if nothing had happened .
