Chapter 2033 Outside Bashui City

The chaos caused by the deserters did not last long, and calm soon returned.

On the second day, the whole army gathered.

Diao Jun saw with his own eyes more than a dozen corpses hanging in front of the camp, including Uncle Lian who took the lead.

He couldn't help but tremble, partly because he felt pity for these deserters who were suffering from the same disease, and partly because he was afraid of the cruelty of military law.

"Hey!" As he looked at the corpse and trembled secretly, the soldier named Cen turned around and winked at him, "I saved you, remember to follow my command in the future!"

Although he did save himself, Diao Jun didn't feel grateful. On the contrary, he didn't like this man very much.

Every move he makes is in Jia Zhengjin's eyes.

At this moment, Jia Zhengjin, who was Zhechong Colonel Yu Cheng, reprimanded the deserters in front of all the soldiers, and used these "military discipline violators" who resisted during the escape and were eventually killed as an example to warn all the soldiers on the scene about the consequences of deserters.

After that, the desertion incident passed lightly, and the army set off again, because they had to launch a surprise attack before Bashui County could react.

After what happened last night, Diao Jun finally gave up the idea of ​​​​escape.

He finally understood that this disaster was inevitable.

This should be the reason why Brother Jia gave him a magic weapon for self-defense.

Even if it is God's will, we can only face it.

I just don’t know if I can go back alive to meet Brother Shao and Xi’er.

Along the way, the soldier named Cen was very active and quickly became involved with the soldiers of the same team.

He also successfully became the leader of this team. Even several captains in the team thought that he was very good and they would have a greater chance of surviving under his command.

Diao Jun refused at first, but in the end he went with the flow and accepted the result.

The person who became the leader of the team was called Cen Pei, and he liked everyone to call him Pei Geer.

Speaking of which, Cen Pei is really not simple.

He has good martial arts skills and no one in the team can beat him.

According to his own words,

Even the lieutenant next to General Zhe Chong may not be his opponent.

I don't know if he is arrogant or if he really has that ability.

But it’s true that Cen Pei is awesome, and everyone in the team is convinced by him. The most important thing is that he handles differences among team members very reasonably and is popular. He quickly establishes prestige and vaguely forms a small group.

During the march, when setting up camp to rest, or during drills, Cen Pei would also teach the members of the team in detail, explaining to them some practical and simple gun skills. Let them understand how to use guns with great power, how to defend against enemy attacks, etc.

The army finally arrived in Gaoguo, thirty miles away from Bashui County.

"Captain, Bashui County has closed the city gates and entered a defensive posture." Nuwa pointed to the satellite surveillance screen in the general's camp and said, "At the same time, an army from Yuanzhou and Miao County each arrived in advance. It is stationed in two directions, the south and the south, forming a corner with Bashui County. "

"As expected, the detailed work in Qi State has passed on our updates in advance!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "It seems that it will not be easy to break through Bashui County!"

"There are about 25,000 defenders in Bashui County, 10,000 reinforcements from Yuanzhou, 5,000 reinforcements from Miao County, and a total of 40,000 high-level troops. The total population of Bashui County is more than 300,000. It is really urgent. Under the circumstances, an army of 100,000 can be raised through temporary recruitment," Nuwa said from the side, "The total number of our troops is only 30,000, and half of them are forced. Their morale is low and their combat strength is very low. Tired. It’s extremely difficult to break through Bashui County!”

"Do you really think that I will stupidly attack the city?" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Warriors are all about strategy. Unless the troops have an absolute advantage, they will use crushing tactics to push forward."

"What are your plans, Captain?"

"List the enemy's army distribution, unit data, and some specific data. I want to analyze it based on the data!"

"Receive the command!" Nuwa took action immediately, quickly mobilized the data, and displayed a virtual picture in front of Jia Zhengjin.

It is good to have satellite monitoring. You can clearly grasp the enemy's dynamics and all intelligence. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.

Of course, the opponent has the advantage in terms of overall military strength. After all, they are at home, and they also received intelligence in advance and mobilized reinforcements from Yuanzhou and Miao County.

But after reading the list, Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but laugh.

Not to mention the Gao Kingdom defenders hiding in the city, among the two supporting armies, the 10,000 troops from Yuanzhou were stationed in the forest five miles away from Bashui County; the 5,000 troops from Miao County were stationed by the river. superior.

Their location looks good, and they are on equal footing with the city, so they can help each other.

But it was clearly visible to Jia Zhengjin’s satellite and there was nowhere to hide.

"This forest is lush with vegetation. It's a good place to hide. Without satellite monitoring, you wouldn't have noticed it at all!" Jia Zhengjin closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes. "Unfortunately, the shortcomings are too obvious. If you just set a fire, this The entire army of ten thousand people was wiped out!”

"Set fire?" Nuwa thought for a moment, "What a good idea! But the casualty ratio will be very high."

"People will die in war," Jia Zhengjin said calmly. "In this world, countries are fighting against each other, and so many people die every day. I am now the general Zhechong of Qi State, and I need to win this war on his behalf. One general succeeds. It is inevitable that all bones will die! Furthermore, from our standpoint, there is no need to sympathize with the humans in the other world. Even if the people in the Four Heavenly Palace are in charge of this world, they still don’t care about this kind of thing, let alone us?”

"That's true!"

"Who should be sent here? It must be someone trustworthy to ensure that the fire attack can succeed!" Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and thought, "Among the twelve deputy generals around Yu Cheng, the most trustworthy and capable one is Zou Yan, right? It seems that only he can do this task!"

"Actually, I can do it." Nuwa said, "Just send a fire seed and the whole forest will be burned."

Jia Zhengjin turned to look at her and shook his head, "That's boring! I am now experiencing the situation of generals leading troops to fight in ancient times. Isn't your intervention equivalent to cheating? Didn't I say that I would only let you and Yu Wanniang intervene when there is no other way and the situation must be reversed. Let Zou Yan execute the fire plan!"

"What about the other reinforcements?"

"Only 5,000 troops, not many." Jia Zhengjin thought for a while and smiled slightly, "Let Zou Yan lead people to burn the Yuanzhou reinforcements, while I will lead the army directly to rush over, not attacking Bashui County, and surround the Miao County reinforcements."

"What do you mean?" Nuwa didn't understand.

"Think about it!" Jia Zhengjin said, "They were originally three waves of troops supporting each other, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then I will set fire to the Yuanzhou reinforcements outside the city first, what will the other side do?"

"Definitely rescue."

"That's right! Even if the defenders in the city don't come out to rescue, they must take action when I surround the Miao County reinforcements. If both reinforcements are repelled, the morale of Bashui County will drop to the limit, and the generals defending the city will not want to see this situation. The only thing they can do is to come out and stop me!"

"However, sending troops means giving up your own advantages?" Nuwa's eyes lit up. Apart from the advantage of defending the city, we may not lose in the field battle. As long as we annihilate the enemy, Bashui County will be at our fingertips!"

"Smart!"
