Chapter 955: Swallow fire (below)

Views:

After dinner, the news of the battle was gathering in the headquarters of Zizhou City.

The light of the torches dyed the long street and the green walls of the small courtyard red after the rain. Although it was already night, half of Zizhou City had already moved. Facing the increasingly clear battlefield situation, the reserve team braved the night to set off, and the staff of the staff entered into the planning of the subsequent events.

How to treat the wounded, how to arrange prisoners, how to consolidate the front line, how to celebrate propaganda, how to defend against the unwilling counterattack of the enemy, whether it is possible to take advantage of the opportunity to launch another attack... Although there are general plans for many things, they have become reality. In front of it, there is still a lot of negotiation, adjustment, and the arrangement and coordination of who is responsible for which part of each department.

Many things, this night should be settled.

Peng Yueyun hurried to the street near the headquarters. From time to time, he could see people in the same dress as him walking on the road, some in groups of three or five, talking in a low voice while walking, and some running alone, with hurried faces. Excited, occasionally someone greeted him.

This situation is not the same as the description in the acting story.

He thought so.

Growing up in the Northwest since childhood, as a child of the top officials of the Western Army, Peng Yueyun's childhood life was richer than that of ordinary poor families. He liked reading books and listening to stories since he was a child, and he was very fond of Zhuji when he was young. Later, he joined the Huaxia Army, and the habit of liking watching dramas and listening to people's stories has been preserved.

Even in many of Zhuji's performance stories, the description of war is often the strategizing and intriguing of several generals and military divisions on both sides of the battlefield. When people heard it, their hearts were agitated, and they wished they could replace it with their own bodies. After Peng Yueyun joined the general staff, he participated in the planning and execution of several conspiracies, and once imagined himself as a wise general who would fight against Wanyan Xiyin and others.

But with the outbreak of the war, after the Huaxia Army was fully involved in the battle, the feeling here was completely detached from the picture of a wise general who was all-powerful. The situation of the headquarters and the staff is more like the machinery that the Huaxia Army has put into production workshops one after another over the years. The wooden wedges are connected to the iron drills, the gears are buckled with the gears, and the huge water turbine turns, which makes the huge machinery in the workshop room. intertwined with each other.

In the rumors of the outside world, people thought that Mr. Ning, known as the "inner demon", was planning a lot of conspiracies all day long. But in fact, in the past few years in the southwest, there have been very few "conspiracies" led by Mr. Ning in the Huaxia Army. What he cares more about is the research of the rear and the construction of large and small factories, which are some complex institutions. In terms of establishment and process planning, in the military, he only did a small amount of coordination and finalization work.

This is why, in the eyes of the outside world, the situation in the southwest may be that Mr. Ning of the Huaxia Army is facing a group of Jurchen heroes such as Zong Han, Xi Yin, Gao Qingyi, Han Qixian, and Ba Lisu. It is the Huaxia Army who is complicated and "many and powerful".

Of course, Zong Han, Xi Yin, Gao Qingyi, Han Qixian, Tu Lisu... are all heroes of the generation, and in the eyes of many people, they are even geniuses who are not born in the world. The "human sea tactics" in the southwest also have to face the trouble of overall coordination and disagreement. Before the matter is settled, whether the staff of the Huaxia Army can compare with the talent of the other party is still something that makes the staff of the General Staff nervous. However, after being nervous until today, the battle in Yuyuxi finally took shape, and Peng Yueyun's mood was relieved.

He thought about this matter in his mind, and when he arrived near the side door of the command all the way, he saw someone coming out from there. The woman walking in front carried an ancient sword and a scorpion, and led the two entourage to the war horses that had been prepared outside the door. Peng Yueyun knew that this was Mr. Ning's wife, Lu Hongti. She was highly skilled in martial arts. She usually served as a security guard by Mr. Ning's side. At this time, it seemed like she was going out of the city at night. Obviously, she had something important to do.

Before Hongti got on the horse, someone from the rear trotted and chased after him, shouting in a low voice, "Sister Hongti." This person is also a woman, the girl Juan'er who followed Mr. Ning. Over the years, this person has been very good-looking. , The stern and serious female general led half of the work in Mr. Ning's secretary office, and had also dealt with the general staff many times.

I saw Miss Juan'er holding a small burden in her hand. After chasing after her, she whispered a few words to the lady Hongti. Madam Hongti smiled and took the burden without knowing what to say. Peng Yueyun walked to the side door from the other side of the road, but Juan'er saw him and waved her hand there: "Xiao Peng, wait, there is something."

Peng Yueyun then stopped, the two women over there whispered a few words, Hongti and the two entourage left on horseback, Juaner waved and watched the horse leave, and came towards Peng Yueyun. As she walked away, her eyes became cold. In recent years, Juaner has followed Ning Yi's side to do things, and has participated in many things in the operation and planning. At this time, the corners of her eyes have a look of worry and a bit of evil spirit, which looks cold and intimidating. But it was not aimed at Peng Yueyun, obviously he had other things in mind.

"Sister Juan, what's the matter?"

"Have you been notified about Yuyu Creek?"

The two walked in together, Peng Yueyun nodded: "Well, I came here for a meeting."

"In the afternoon, more than 20 people attacked the wounded barracks at the back of Rainwater Creek, and they went to Ning Ji."

"…Are you alright?"

Peng Yueyun now understood where the evil spirit in the corner of Miss Juan'er's eyes came from. Among Mr. Ning's family, Miss Juan'er and Ning Ji's mother, Xiaochan, are like sisters, and that little Ningji is just like her child. Thinking about it at this time, Mrs. Hongti just now must be going to the front line at this time, so it is no wonder that Miss Juan'er brought a package out...

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Juan'er on the side shook his head: "The report over there is a slight injury... Right now, the scouts with minor and serious injuries are all arranged in the general camp of the wounded soldiers, and those who enter are considered Zhou Tong's reincarnation. Or even if Lin Eichan brought people, it would be impossible to run away. However, they deliberately arranged for people to come here, just to assassinate the children, and I can’t make them feel better.”

Peng Yueyun nodded. Now the scouts on both sides are the elite of the elite. The scouts of the Huaxia Army also include special operators. Many of them are famous masters in the green forest, or the disciples brought out by these masters. The champions of the single-player competition in the military are almost swept up by these people. Most of them can do a few tricks when they encounter the so-called No. 1 in the world, Lin Yechan. If more than twenty people enter such a camp, even twenty No. 1 in the world, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to retreat.

However, under such circumstances, the Second Young Master was injured a little bit, and it was estimated that he jumped on it because of an itchy hand. Those who were close to the Ning family had heard of the previous counter-kill in Zizhou.

Seeing that Miss Juan'er looked fierce, Peng Yueyun didn't say these guesses, but said, "What is Sister Juan planning to do?"

"Since there is this matter, Xiao Peng, plan it out and let out the wind on Jurchen. We want the heads of Zhenzhu and Baoshan."

Really cruel... Peng Yueyun secretly stunned: "Really organize revenge?"

"You don't have to pay for it in order to retaliate. Let the wind out and scare them. We can kill or not. In short, we will find a way to make them worry for a while."

Peng Yueyun nodded, his mind turned slightly: "Sister Juan, then... Taking advantage of this rainy river victory, I will organize someone to write an essay, accusing the golden dog of sending someone to assassinate... A thirteen-year-old child. Let me They felt that Mr. Ning was very angry—he lost his mind. Not only did he organize people to assassinate Wanyan at any time, but he also offered a reward to all the puppet troops who were willing to surrender to these two dog heads. We think There is a way to send the letter to the front line. In this way, while the golden army is declining, it is just time to alienate the puppet army beside them..."

Hearing Peng Yueyun's thought, Juan'er gradually showed a smile on her face, and her eyes turned cold after a while: "Then I'll ask you, I'll ask you how much is appropriate for the reward. It would be best to let them fight infighting."

"Well, then I will formally propose this idea during the meeting."

The two spent a moment together, Peng Yueyun looked serious and rushed to the meeting. He said such an idea not purely to echo Juan'er, but he really felt that it could play a certain role - the assassination of Zonghan's two sons was originally a hugely difficult and unrealistic plan, but since there is such a reason , it's always good to make them suspicious.

In my heart, I warned myself: Never offend women in the future.

Peng Yueyun has her own meeting to go to, and Juan'er, who is in the secretary's office, naturally has a lot of work to do. Although the message from the afternoon had already decided the general direction of the whole thing, what followed would only be a sleepless night.

The air is clear after the rain, and there are thin stars in the sky after nightfall. After Juan'er gathered the information to a certain extent, she passed through the courtyard of the headquarters. Several meetings were held in a nearby room. The aroma of pancakes prepared for supper from the cooking class wafted faintly. Entering the courtyard where Ning Yi was temporarily living, there was no light in the room, she gently pushed the door in, and put the two summary reports in her hand on the desk. On the bed on the other side of the desk, Ning Yi was sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms. .

She smiled and turned around to prepare to go out, when a voice came from there: "When is it... Is the fight over..."

"The news is not so fast before it arrives at Hai... You go on to rest." Juan'er said softly.

"Oh... you don't stay up late, let's sleep too."

"Everyone hasn't slept. It seems that they want to wait for news. I'll go check out the late night snack."

"Young people...no calmness..."

Ning Yi muttered on the bed, and Juan'er went out with a slight smile. The courtyard outside was still brightly lit. After the meeting, people left and came over one after another. The staff left behind waited and discussed in the courtyard.

When she was approaching, Juaner came back from outside, closed the door, and walked towards the bed, unbuttoning her blue padded jacket, took off her coat, sat by the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and took off her long skirt, Ning Yi was there. The quilt gave way to one side, and Juan'er, who looked slender, fell asleep under the quilt.

Ugly time is over, three in the morning. Ning Yi got up quietly from the bed, and Juan'er also woke up, and was motioned by Ning Yi to continue to rest.

After going out to wash for a while, Ning Yi came back to the room and picked up the summary report on the desk, and went to the next room to take a cursory look at the oil lamp. At three quarters of Yin Shi, at 4:30 in the morning, someone hurried in from outside the hospital.

"Report… "

"Be quieter, is the rain stream finished?"

"Yes, at midnight last night, the battle of Rainwater Creek came to an end, and Commander Qu ordered me to report back..."

The people in the yard lowered their voices and talked for a while. The night was quiet, Juaner in the room got off the bed, put on his padded jacket, skirt, shoes and socks, and after walking out of the room, Ning Yi sat on the low stool in the corridor under the eaves, holding an oil lamp in his hand, shining on it. stationery.

Juan'er heard the strange cheers from far away, she moved the stool and sat down beside her.

"Rainwater Creek won."

Ning Yi handed her the letter, and Juaner took it and read it. The preliminary results of the battlefield were recorded: more than 10,000 enemies were killed, and more than 22,000 people were captured and countered. During the night offensive against the Jurchen camp, Qu Zhengyan said The others relied on the Han army who had been rebelled in the camp and broke through the opponent's outer camp. During the fighting in the camp, several veteran Jurchen generals encouraged the army to fight desperately and defended the inner encirclement camp leading to the mountain road. At that time, the Jurchen routed soldiers who were trapped in the mountains and did not turn around saw the camp being destroyed. Desperate to come to the rescue, Qu Zhengyan temporarily gave up the plan to remove the entire Jurchen camp overnight.

The preliminary statistics on the number of casualties on the Huaxia Army's side has exceeded 2,500, and the number of wounded in need of treatment is over 4,000. Some of the people here may be included in the list of victims in the future. It is difficult to count the lightly injured and the exhausted... , to take care of more than 20,000 prisoners. It is no wonder that when Zizhou received the news of the start of the plan, they were already dispatching reserve teams one after another. It is as dangerous as a taut thread.

"... Qu Zhengyan called his plan to take the initiative to attack him as 'devouring fire', which was to smash people down where the opponent was most powerful. After defeating the enemy, he would also suffer great losses, which was predicted long ago. This time the exchange ratio, you can still watch it, it’s very good…”

Ning Yi sat there and said this, Juaner thought for a while and whispered, "Qu Shuai closed his troops when he was in Hai Hai, and now he still has to watch more than 20,000 prisoners. It will be all right."

"He took the initiative to withdraw, and nothing will happen. Qu Zhengyan said that he walked on the tightrope again." Ning Yi laughed, "There are nearly 50,000 soldiers in Yuyu Creek, and the main force of the 20,000 Jurchens in the middle was taken by us. Fifty thousand people were defeated head-on. Considering the exchange ratio, Zong Han's 200,000 main force is not enough to be exchanged, and he can't even cry now..."

Under the eaves in the clear winter night, Ning Yi said this, his eyes became relaxed and indifferent. More than ten years of hard work, the accumulation of blood and fire, the planning for two months in the war, and this battle in Yuyuxi have far more profound and complicated meanings than what I have just said, but there is no need to say them at this time. .

Juan'er sat holding the letter for a while, then chuckled, "Zong Han should run away."

"He won't run away." Ning Yi shook his head, his eyes seemed to have passed through the dark night, and cast his eyes on some gigantic object, "Wan Lu, sucking blood and grinding teeth, relying on Zong Han's generation to fight for decades, The Jurchen talent created such a foundation as the Jin Kingdom. The Southwest is invincible, and the Jurchen power is about to fall from its peak. Zong Han and Xi Yin have not had another ten or twenty years, and they will not allow the Dajin created by themselves to end Destroyed by their own hands, the road before them is only desperate. Watch..."

"… Next will be a more calm counter-attack."

Ning Yi said quietly, he had nothing to complain about what was destined to happen.

In this world, people will encounter tigers.

- Then, kill the tiger.
