The Sword Dynasty - 446. Chapter 445

“Even if it is the first name of the Minshan Sword Club! After all, he is just an ignorant young man who has not been in battle. Guo Feng is also confused, and he really asked Su Weijun to obey his command!”

“Being self-confident, even the stupidest general will not make such a mistake!”

Seeing the backs of Ding Ning, Guo Feng and others turning and leaving, the faces of several frontier generals were extremely gloomy.

Wu Qiwu’s face was also ugly to the extreme, and everything shining in the depths of his eyes was fierce killing intent.

If he had absolute certainty, he would choose to kill Ding Ning directly at the moment he was just now.

The three thousand-six guards who had just entered the city began to leave the city, marching to one side of the lower slope high, and began to camp.

The incoming reinforcements left the city because of disagreements, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the troops in the city.

This is even more true for the Su Wei army, who has been exhausted to the extreme in the march.

If Ding Ning had not demonstrated the ability to convince all of them before, I am afraid that when carrying some heavy ordnance up the mountain, they would encounter some difficulties, and these sergeants would burst into mutiny because of various negative emotions.

Guo Feng is an experienced general, he naturally knows that morale and emotions are often more important than some powerful weapons.

Follow Ding Ning to climb a high rock and look at the smoke in the distance, his face is not much better than Wu Qiwu.

“Actually, I still haven’t figured out why you must abandon the city.”

He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his mood, while looking 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 made Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu who followed him immediately stunned.

“What do you mean?” Nangong Caishu couldn’t help asking.

“Gu 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 Guancheng. The most important thing is that you should have seen before entering the city. Many people in Guancheng are from the Yue Clan and the frontiers of the Yinshan area. ”

Guo Feng’s brows suddenly jumped, he realized something, but he was not sure.

Ding Ning did not stop, and continued: “Gu Prison Pass was established at the latest. Many labors used in the establishment of Gu Prison Pass were summoned nearby, and many were eventually recruited as sergeants. Therefore, the various people in this pass are very complicated. .”

Nangong Caishu finally reacted and said, “Are you afraid that any of our actions in Guancheng will be passed on by the spies?”

Ding Ning retracted his gaze from the distant horizon, turned around, looked at Guo Feng and Nangong Caishu, and nodded, “Although the Ushi Nation has won a great victory, it is logically impossible to know that all of our subsequent reinforcements have arrived. The situation, however, the rear army came here confidently and was very clear about the situation of the defenders in this city. The soldiers did not tire of deceit, saying that they would abandon the city and disagree with them on the hillside of the garrison. Show a scene to the other party.”

After a pause, Ding Ning looked at Nangong Caishu earnestly, and said, “The less people know about acting like this, and the more they are kept in the dark, the more truthful they are.”

Nangong Caishu looked at Ding Ning, feeling more and more in awe: “Then what should we do next?”

“We want to continue acting, let the vanguard come to attack us first.” Ding Ning looked at her and said: “I want you to send a letter to Wu Qiwu, let him cooperate with us in this scene.”

…

The cooking smoke in the distance has been extinguished, and as time passed, the ground gradually trembles.

Before sunset, more than five thousand Ushi national cavalry troops began to formally appear in the sight of all Gu Prison Border Army troops.

The costumes and armors of all the sergeants in this cavalry army of Wushi Kingdom are not uniform, and there is no fixed formation for riding at this time, just like a cloud that changes at any time on the grassland.

However, all the weapons of these cavalry were hung on both sides of the saddle, and the pace of all the horses was surprisingly consistent. As the horses rushed, these weapons naturally hit the saddle and made a very rhythmic sound.

This uniform sound, constantly resounding, with a deadly magic power, made it difficult for everyone to breathe smoothly, but their hearts beat more and more fiercely.

Ding Ning was sitting on a raised boulder, silently watching the cavalry coming in the sunset, frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

On the tower of Gu Prison Pass, Wu Qiwu’s vest began to sweat uncontrollably.

With the sound of thunderous horseshoes approaching, his sight was gradually flooded by the cavalry, and the tremor of the ground also made the entire Gu Prison Pass seem to be beating, and some accumulated dust in the cracks in the city wall was pouting in the cold wind. Puff drop.

Half an hour ago, he had learned of the boy’s plan against the cavalry, and until this time, he was the only one who learned of this plan in the entire Gu Prison, so all the pressure naturally It all fell on him.

Even though he had respect for the young man in his heart and felt that it was indeed feasible, it was still a gamble for him.

If the cavalry didn’t attack the old guards on the hillside as expected, the Gu Prison Pass might be lost directly.

It’s just that when the light from the cavalry mounted on the horses caught his eyes, he took another look at the Su Weijun on the side of the hillside, and he knew that he had no choice.

It can be said that the young man forced himself to make such a choice with the life and death of three thousand soldiers.

His face became extremely ugly again.

But he squeezed a few simple scales from his throat, and then whispered a few words to a lieutenant next to him.

The lieutenant’s eyes were filled with horror when he heard his words, but he regained his senses in his sharp drink.

…

“Why are you sure that this cavalry vanguard will attack us first?”

Nangong Caishu appeared behind Ding Ning. She was not questioning, but humbly asking for advice.

The cavalry in her field of vision still maintains a straight marching route. It hasn’t shown whether it is biased towards Guancheng or the hillside. But for some reason, she has a strong premonition and intuition about this cavalry. Will attack them here first as Ding Ning expected.

At this moment, she was invisibly like Jing Liuli in the previous summer, and she began to learn from Ding Ning naturally.

“The number of any fast-advancing army cannot be too large. Fourteen to five thousand is the limit. Otherwise, it is impossible to guarantee the speed, and even the grain and grass can not keep up.” Ding Ning answered her question slowly and clearly, “Military Intelligence said. The total number of cavalry support is more than 10,000. According to my judgment, it may be more than 14,000 at most. However, the remnants of the Qin Army that we have retreated to here are also more than 25,000.”

“You have to understand that the army of our Great Qin Dynasty is always the most powerful army in the world.”

After a pause, Ding Ning turned his head to look at her, “Even if it is the remnant, no one would dare to despise our Daqin dynasty army. So this cavalry will definitely win this battle by reducing losses as much as possible. Victory, occupy Gu Prison Pass. Otherwise, if they conquer Gu Prison Pass, they will only have a few thousand people left. I am afraid that even they themselves would not have the confidence to rely on these thousands to stop the more than 20,000 Qin army, even if they only need to block a small amount of time. .”

Nangong Caishu understood, and her eyes lit up, “So no matter how wild and adventurous the troops of the Ushi kingdom have shown before, at least here, this cavalry 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 weapons in our Su Wei Army are not ready, and it is a bit chaotic, so this cavalry will definitely attack us first. In terms of time, two days are enough, they only need to solve the Qin army here at the least cost, and not in a hurry.”

A look of approval appeared in Ding Ning’s eyes, and at the same time he said: “The most important thing is that under such a general trend, as long as we make their losses a bit heavier, let their initial plans fail… they will panic. ”

Nangong Caishu looked at his extremely calm and confident eyes, and his heartbeat began to accelerate again, “So you think we can win this battle from the beginning, even if the opponent may have three times the strength of ours.”

Ding Ning glanced at her and said: “Whether you can win the final victory, it is now up to Wu Qiwu whether he can completely obey the content of my letter and smash out all the practitioners and sword masters who are best at fighting in Guancheng. .”

Nangong Caishu raised her head and looked at the cavalry in the distance that was getting more and more terrifying and approaching. She watched the smoke and dust covering the last afterglow of the setting sun. She knew that this was indeed true for the guard. It is a difficult decision to make.

After all, since the founding of Da Qin, practitioners and some guards who cooperated with the practitioners were the most important forces in the Da Qin army.

Even if the total number of practitioners in this city, including the guards around them, is no more than 100, if all these people are taken out of the city, then this city is no different from an empty city.

But she was also intuitive at this time, that a general who had too much experience than her would make the right choice.
