"So what if it's the first name of the Minshan Sword Club! After all, it's just an ignorant young man who hasn't fought in battle, so Guo Feng is also confused, and actually asked Su Weijun to obey his command!"
"If you mess up, even the most stupid general will not make such a mistake!"
Looking at the backs of Ding Ning, Guo Feng and others who turned and left, the faces of several frontier generals were extremely gloomy.
Wu Qiwu's face was also extremely ugly, and all the glints in the depths of his eyes were fierce killing intent.
If he had absolute certainty, he would have chosen to kill Ding Ning in that instant.
The 3,000 guards who had just entered the city began to leave the city, marched towards the hillside with a gentler terrain on one side, and began to set up camp.
The incoming reinforcements left the city due to disagreements, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the troops in the city.
This is especially true for the guards who have been extremely exhausted during the march.
If Ding Ning hadn't shown his ability to convince all of them before, he might have encountered some difficulties when carrying some heavy ordnance up the mountain, and these sergeants would have rebelled due to various negative emotions.
Guo Feng is an experienced general, he naturally knows that morale and emotions are often more important than some powerful weapons.
Following Ding Ning up a high rock, looking at the smoke from the kitchen in the distance, his expression was not much better than Wu Qiwu's.
"Actually, I still haven't figured out why you must abandon the city."
He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his mood, and at the same time looked at Ding Ning in front of him and asked.
Ding Ning didn't turn his head to look at him, and said softly, "Actually, I don't really want to abandon the city."
His answer stunned Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu who was following him.
"What do you mean?" Nangong Caishu couldn't help asking.
"The Valley Prison Pass is very special."
Ding Ning said softly and slowly: "It's not just that Guancheng is not as majestic as the rest of the Guancheng, the most important thing is that you should have seen that many people in Guancheng are from the Yuezhi country and the border people from the Yinshan area. "
Guo Feng's brows twitched suddenly. He realized something, but he wasn't sure.
Ding Ning didn't stop, and continued: "The Guyu Pass was established at the latest. Many of the laborers used in the establishment of Guyu Pass were recruited nearby, and many of them were eventually recruited as sergeants. Therefore, the various people in this pass city are very complicated. .”
Nangong Caishu finally came to his senses and said, "Are you afraid that any of our actions in Guancheng will be passed on by spies?"
Ding Ning withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon, turned around, looked at Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu, and nodded, "Although the Wuzhi Kingdom has won a great victory, it is logically impossible to know the arrival of all our subsequent reinforcements." However, this broken rear army came here confidently, because it knew the situation of the defenders in this closed city very well. The soldiers were not tired of cheating, saying that they would abandon the city, and they disagreed with them to garrison on the hillside. A play for the other party to watch."
After a pause, Ding Ning looked at Nangong Caishu seriously, and said, "The less people know about acting, the more people are kept in the dark, the more real it is."
Nangong Caishu looked at Ding Ning, feeling more and more awed: "Then what should we do next?"
"We need to continue acting and let that vanguard army attack us first." Ding Ning looked at her and said, "I want you to send a letter to Wu Qiwu, and ask him to cooperate with us to perform the scene well."
…
The smoke in the distance has been extinguished, but as time goes by, the ground gradually trembles.
Before sunset, more than 5,000 Wuzhi national cavalry began to formally appear in the sight of all the border troops at Guyuguan.
The uniforms and armors of all the sergeants in Wuzhi Kingdom's cavalry army were not uniform, and there was no fixed formation for the cavalry at this time, just like a cloud that changes at any time on the grassland.
However, all the weapons of these cavalry troops were hung on both sides of the saddle, but the pace of all the horses was amazingly consistent. As the horses ran, these weapons naturally knocked on the saddle, making a very rhythmic sound.
This uniform sound kept ringing, carrying a fatal magic power, which made it difficult for everyone to breathe smoothly, but their hearts beat more and more violently.
Ding Ning sat on a raised boulder, silently watching the cavalry army coming under the setting sun, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the tower of Guyu Pass, Wu Qiwu's vest began to sweat uncontrollably.
As the thunderous hoofbeats approached, his vision was gradually filled by the cavalry, and the tremors on the ground made the entire Gu Prison Pass seem to be jumping, and some years of dust in the cracks in the city wall were blowing in the cold wind. Poof drop.
As early as half an hour ago, he had already learned of the young man's plan against this cavalry army, and until now, he was the only one who knew about this plan in the entire Gu Prison Pass, so all the pressure, naturally It all fell on him.
Even though he already had respect for that young man in his heart and felt that it was indeed feasible, it was still a big gamble for him.
If the cavalry army did not attack the guards on the hillside as expected, then the valley prison pass might fall directly.
It's just that when the lights on the steps of those cavalry soldiers came into his eyes, and he took another look at the old guard soldiers on the hillside, he knew that he had no choice.
It can be said that the young man forced himself to make such a choice with the lives and deaths of three thousand guards.
His face became extremely ugly again.
But he squeezed out a few simple scales from his throat, and then whispered a few words to a lieutenant who was following him.
The eyes of the lieutenant general who heard his words were instantly filled with shock, but he came back to his senses after he yelled.
…
"How can you be sure that this cavalry vanguard will attack us first?"
Nangong Caishu appeared behind Ding Ning. She was not asking questions, but asking for advice humbly.
The cavalry army in her field of vision still maintains a straight marching route, and has not shown any movement towards Guancheng or this hillside, but for some reason, she has a strong premonition that this cavalry army As Ding Ning expected, he will attack them first.
At this moment, like Jing Liuli in the previous summer, she began to take Ding Ning as her teacher and learn from Ding Ning.
"The number of any rapidly advancing army cannot be too large, and 14,000 to 5,000 is the limit, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee the speed, and even the food and grass will not be able to keep up." Ding Ning answered her question slowly and clearly, "Military conditions say this The total number of cavalry troops is more than 10,000, according to my judgment, it may be more than 14,000 at most. But there are also more than 25,000 remnants of the Qin army that we retreated here."
"You have to understand that the army of our Great Qin Dynasty has always been the most powerful army in the world."
After a pause, Ding Ning turned his head to look at her, "Even the remnants, no one would dare to underestimate the army of our Great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, this cavalry army will definitely win this battle by minimizing losses as much as possible. Otherwise, if you capture Guyu Pass, you will only have thousands of people left. I am afraid that even they themselves do not have the confidence to rely on these thousands of people to stop more than 20,000 Qin troops, even if they only need to stop for a short time. .”
Nangong Caishu understood, and her eyes lit up, "So no matter how wild and adventurous the Wuzhi army showed before, at least in our place, this cavalry army will be very careful."
Ding Ning looked at her and nodded.
Nangong Caishu took a deep breath and said, "Because of some of your deliberate arrangements, many of the ordnance in our Suwei army are not ready, and they are a bit chaotic, so this cavalry army will definitely attack us first. Among them As far as the situation is concerned, two days is enough, they only need to use the minimum cost to get rid of the Qin army here, and they are not in a hurry."
There was a look of approval in Ding Ning's eyes, and he said at the same time: "The most important thing is that under such a general situation, as long as we make them suffer heavy losses and make their initial plan come to nothing...they will panic. "
Looking at his extremely calm and confident eyes, Nangong Caishu's heartbeat began to speed up again, "So you thought from the beginning that we could win this battle, even though the opponent might have three times as many troops as us."
Ding Ning glanced at her and said: "Whether we can win in the end depends on whether Wu Qiwu can fully obey the content of my letter and smash all the practitioners and sword masters who are best at fighting in Guancheng to me." .”
Nangong Caishu raised her head, looked at the cavalry army that was getting more and more terrifying and approaching in the distance, and saw that the smoke and dust brought up all over the sky covered the last afterglow of the setting sun. She knew that this was really important for the guard. It's a hard decision to make.
After all, since the Great Qin Dynasty, practitioners and some guards who cooperate with practitioners are the most important forces in the Great Qin army.
Even if the total number of practitioners in this city gate, including the guards around them, is no more than a hundred, if all these people are taken out of the city, then this city gate will be no different from an empty city.
But she also had an intuition at this time, that the general who was much more experienced than her would make the right choice.
