Chapter 578 Advance and retreat together

The reason why these young people are called second-generation ancestors is that they have been spoiled by their family elders since childhood, born in the magnificent capital of Kyoto, and raised at the feet of the emperor. They have seen and gained much more than ordinary people...

They are the ones who can truly be called the chosen ones of this era.

Even an ordinary man has blood in his veins, let alone these are just some spoiled and proud young men.

Jiang An had been making them carry corpses and living at the bottom of the army, just waiting for this day.

Speaking of which, I learned this method from the Master...

"Don't go to the battlefield with the intention of dying..."

"You have to remember that after this battle, there will be another one."

When the world is in Qingming Festival, you can travel around the mountains and rivers and enjoy these beautiful scenery that belong to our country!

The second-generation rich man nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, with an appearance of humbly accepting the advice, and it seemed that he had not yet realized that the little girl meant to agree to them.

Huo Changming grinned and put his arm around his brother's shoulders. "Come on, I'll pick out armor that fits your size!"

Not only was he laughing, but several generals around him were also laughing.

It is obvious that they welcome these new brothers in the army.

These dozens of young masters have been unwelcome since the day they arrived, and now they feel a little embarrassed when they feel the kindness.

Jiang An held a spear in his hand, and mounted his horse, with a red cape draped behind him...

The moment the city gate opened, she rushed out like a streak of light!

Behind her, the young men mixed in with the soldiers, each holding a knife or a gun, and rushed forward.

Song Shen stood in the distance and watched this scene, feeling a little worried, "She still has some injuries that haven't been treated yet..."

The soldier walked past him, smiled at Song Shen, who was obviously dressed as a civil official, and said casually: "We are in the middle of a war, and everyone has a few knife wounds on their body."

It's normal that we don't have time to deal with the group of mad dogs in Dongli that are biting us.

The young lady is the commander of an army, like the pillar supporting their world, so naturally she has even less time.

"Hmm..." Song Shen responded softly, turned around and left alone.

They are all trying...

Although he doesn't have the ability to lead troops, he can still have a say in the governance of the city, so he should go back and get to work.

The battle in the afternoon lasted until late at night. Jiang An led his men to repel a group of enemy troops who wanted to retake the city, but the National Defense Army also suffered losses...

As soon as she got off the horse, she didn't care about the wound on her arm caused by the knife blade, and the irritability between her brows was even worse than before she left the city.

"We can't be so passive..."

Jiang An casually threw the gun to Zheng Yan and strode towards the tent, "Call the generals!"

This was originally the city they occupied, and it was far away from Nan Shang.

They held on to this place and went out of the city to fight when the enemy harassed them. They suffered constant casualties and wasted food and fodder here.

It takes time for Nanshang to transport food and grass, and there is not much food and grass in the city, but the city where the enemy is stationed has food and grass support due to its geographical advantage.

If they continue fighting like this, they will be exhausted to death!

I guess this is what Dongli’s generals thought. As long as the reinforcements and food supplies cannot keep up, even the best army will eventually fall apart.

In the tent, Jiang An and the generals stared at the sand table in front of them...

The city where the enemy is located is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Judging from their current position, there are three roads leading to the pass.

However, these three roads are all natural chasms with canyons on both sides.

In other words, once they led their troops to attack the city, they would be in a natural chasm with narrow roads, and even turning back would be difficult.

"What if we don't take these three natural ravines?"

Someone said, "Let's disperse our forces and go through the canyon."

"No."

Meng couldn't bear to reject it directly. "At the beginning, I led people to investigate the canyon. It was full of dense forests. There were only traces of people walking on the outer edge. Going deeper...even experienced hunters probably wouldn't dare to trespass."

If the soldiers get lost in the canyon, it would really make things easier for the enemy!

Just come and occupy the city, there is no need to fight.

"what is it now?"

"We can't cross the ravine or the canyon, and we can't just fly over it!"

The road to the pass is already difficult enough, not to mention that the pass is built in the mountains and the city walls are built against the rocks of the mountain, making siege even more troublesome!

"This pass must be conquered..."

Her father was attacking another checkpoint, and since Jiang An had shared most of the Dongli troops' forces, the attack was going relatively smoothly. The last time she delivered the message, the Dongli army at the checkpoint was almost unable to hold on.

If both passes can be captured, the National Protection Army will be able to attack the Dongli Imperial City from both sides!

The wound on her arm had just been bandaged, and the little girl was only wearing a plain robe with her hair hanging down her back.

She pointed to a place where the three natural barriers converged.

"Divide the troops into three groups. One group will pretend to attack the city from the front, and the remaining two groups will ambush on the left and right sides of the natural moat."

"Wait until the enemy troops in Guanzhong come out and reach the intersection of three natural moats. One team will surround the enemy troops leaving the city from front and back, and the other team will attack the city while the gates are open!"

This pass was built on the mountain, and the city gate was heavy and required more than twenty soldiers to close it. This period of time was enough for their people to rush up.

"But if most of the troops are still in Guanzhong, then the one-third of the troops attacking the city may never return..."

The cost of attacking the city in this way is too high.

Jiang An would never sacrifice one-third of his troops just to capture a pass.

"I have heard of the general guarding the pass. He is a famous and victorious general in Dongli, and he is also very conceited."

The little girl frowned and thought, "If Dong Li comes to the city again to clamor and test us in the next few days, we don't have to go out of the city to fight him."

"Send more scouts to the Southern Shang territory, and send some people to the nearby mountains to dig wild vegetables and hunt game..."

"Pretend to them that there is no food in the city."

By then, they would certainly think that the National Protection Army's attack on the pass was a helpless move, and that the soldiers had no food in their stomachs, so their combat effectiveness would naturally be lower than before.

The commander of the Dongli Army was conceited, and Jiang An was notorious. If he could cut off his head, it would definitely add a great deal to his achievements!

"In this case, he will definitely transfer most of his troops outside the pass, just to keep the siege troops!"

But...how much of what she said is true is still unknown.

There is definitely an element of gambling involved.

"Since we have a solution, let's do it!"

A general slammed the table with great pride, obviously trusting the girl very much.

"We are rough guys, we are definitely not as smart as you, young lady. Wherever you say, we will go!"

Meng Bu Ren also agreed with the little girl's idea, "We don't have a better way at the moment, but what the young lady said can be tried!"

Xie Yunshan half-jokingly said: "In ten days or half a month, there will be no need to pretend to go digging wild vegetables..."

Then you have to really eat wild vegetables!

The food and supplies they have won't last long.

"it is good!"

The little girl smiled and said, "I will lead the team to attack the city..."

"No!"

Her light words frightened the generals present.

"You are in charge of the army. Besides, there are so many of us here. It's not your turn to take risks as a little girl!"

Since there is a risk of never coming back, they can't let Jiang An go.

"listen to me!"

The little girl sat in the main seat, her face tense and she already had a bit of a murderous and decisive aura.

"If we take this pass, even if I can't continue to lead the troops... it won't affect the military situation."

There is nothing but plains inside the pass, so the battle will be much easier to fight.

"And since I am the commander, I must advance and retreat together with the soldiers in the army. Only when I am here can the soldiers attacking the city feel at ease!"

Jiang An was telling these national defense soldiers who had been with her through thick and thin in her own way that she had never regarded them as tools for conquering cities and seizing territories.

Wherever they are, Jiang An will be there and will never retreat even a single step!

Xie Yunshan still disagreed. He rarely showed a cold face to the little girl, and said in a stiff tone, "I can do what you said... Meng Bu Ren can do it too!"

"Just sit back and wait..."

"Xie Yunshan!" The little girl called out his full name, "I'm the head coach!"

The commander of this army!

Don't always refute her. Doesn't she have any dignity?

Hey?!

General Xie was very angry, "You are the commander-in-chief... You are awesome, okay!"

"I don't care anymore!"

After saying that, he walked out angrily.

In fact, Xie Yunshan’s idea is very simple…

Now the Xie family is no longer his home. His only home is the Zhenguo Palace.

There are only two masters in the Zhenguo Palace...

For him, none of them can be missing!

"Thanks…"

"Don't bother with him!" Jiang An called out to Meng Buren in a fierce tone.

Let him go out for a while, he will calm down by himself...

After everything was settled, the girl put on her clothes and went out to look for someone.

Zheng Yan looked outside and said, "I will go find where General Xie is..."

"Don't look for it."

Jiang An really knows him too well!

At the back of the main tent, Xie Yunshan was curled up in a corner, poking something with a wooden stick in his hand.

The little girl glanced at Zhengyan who was accompanying her and said, "See, I'll tell you!"

Hearing the footsteps, Xie Yunshan turned his head and took a look.

Seeing that it was the little girl coming, he snorted, turned his back, and looked like he was very angry.

"Hey?!"

Jiang An also squatted over and poked with a finger, "Are you still angry?"

Xie Yunshan said gloomily, "You are the head coach, I dare not get angry."

"Tsk..."

The little girl poked again, "Don't be angry~"

Xie Yunshan squatted and moved to the side, then slapped her hand back, "Don't touch me!"

"Attack the city..." he went.

Jiang An shook his head: "No."

"Ah!"

"Oh, just trust me, there will be a surprise then!"

Surprise, what surprise?

The National Protection Army was distributed in three states and had no extra troops to support them.

Even if they could be transferred, this place is far away from the original Nanshang border...

"Can there be a divine soldier sent down from the sky?"

"What if~"

Originally, Xie Yunshan's words were just sarcasm, but he didn't expect the little girl to actually respond to him.

Knowing Jiang An's character well, he turned back suddenly and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Okay, okay, now you don’t tell him anything, right? Are we still good friends? !

"Where did you get the soldiers?"

Xie Yunshan asked relentlessly.

"You'll know when the time comes~"

He was still a little skeptical, "You weren't lying to me on purpose just to reassure me, were you?"

The little girl choked and was a little speechless, "How can I joke about my own life and the lives of my brothers!"

It's just not convenient to say.

"Oh, don't ask!"

Jiang An handed him the hoe and basket he had brought, "Go dig some wild vegetables!"

Xie Yunshan:?

I am a general, digging wild vegetables? ?

The little girl herself was holding a hoe in her hand, "I, the commander of the army, still have to go dig, so get to work!"

In the next three or four days, no matter how the Dongli people outside the city shouted, they would not go out to meet the enemy as long as they did not attack the city wall.

Moreover, the scouts of the Dongli Army saw them digging wild vegetables in the mountains several times, and some even set up a pot on the spot. They ate voraciously, as if they had been hungry for a long time!

Dongli's scout returned to the city, "General, Nanshang's army is starving to death..."

Regarding this, the soldiers of the National Defense Army have something to say...

The wild vegetables cooked with game are very delicious. They have been digging the soil diligently for a whole day, so anyone would devour them like a glutton!

What’s more important is, if you don’t eat quickly, others will eat it!

The misunderstanding started from here, and the effect was even better than Jiang An expected~

On the second day after the scout reported the news, General Dongli came to the city in person. No matter how foully his deputy general cursed, the city remained silent.

Now all the commander's doubts were dispelled.

Actually...

Behind the city wall, the Zhenglu brothers, Xie Yunshan and a few others grabbed the strong-willed young girl.

Jiang An was holding a spear, and he was furious. "Don't stop me!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

It would be fine if you just scolded her for something else, but why did you actually call her a coward?

Jiang An has never been cowardly in her life except when facing her father!

"I'm gonna tear his head off, pickle!"

Xie Yunshan let go, eh~ it’s really spicy.

Jiang An turned around and put his arm back into his hand.

Hold her, why don't you hold her?!

In this way, they played around with the playful little girl for a while.

Not to mention, hiding in the city for three or four days actually allowed the soldiers to rest up and be refreshed, which was an unexpected surprise.

On the fifth day, the city gates were opened.

Xie Yunshan led a group of national defense troops to the pass. Upon seeing this, the scouts who were spying on the military situation immediately rode back to the pass at full speed.

The Nan Shang army has no food in the city and is preparing to attack the city...a desperate move!

If the scout was not so confident, if he had taken a closer look, he would have found that everyone in the National Defense Army, from the commander to the soldiers, had ruddy complexions, and they did not look like they had been hungry for a long time!

After the scouts left, Jiang An and Meng Buhen led the team to bypass the city gates on both sides and reach the natural moats on both sides.

As the little girl expected, General Dongli saw that the Nanshang army chose to attack the city under such circumstances, and thought it was a move to cut off the source of the problem, so he led many troops out of the city to fight, just to take the credit for killing the daughter of King Zhenguo.

When the two teams were very close, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

That scheming little girl isn't here!

No, I fell into a trap!

The commander tightened the reins and tried to turn back to the city, but it was too late.

Being at a fork in the road, Meng Buhen led his troops to attack from the other side of the natural moat, directly trapping the Dongli Army.

Before the Dongli Army could react, Jiang An, riding on a white tiger, led his men to charge out from another natural barrier. Without even looking at the battlefield, he led his men directly towards the city gate that had not yet been closed.

The white tiger was extremely fast, and the scene around her kept receding. In a few breaths... the city gate was getting closer.

"Close the city gate quickly!"

"Fire arrows!"

"..."
