After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 200

  Chapter 200 Save? Do not save!

   Sure enough, it came. General Nan Ke said solemnly: "How many troops are on the other side?"

   "I can't get close to the calculation, but at least there are, and there are seven thousand!"

   "Seven thousand!" Everyone's expression changed, and General Nan Ke was also shocked, "How is it possible! The Baling Army stationed in Weicheng is only more than 2,000 people! Did you read it wrong?"

   The scout was categorical: "It's just too much! If you miscalculate, you will be punished by military law!"

  At this time, a sparrow hawk flew down from the sky, landed on the shoulder of General Nan Ke and said: "I came from the northeast, and saw the dust flying on the ground, and there are nearly ten thousand enemies approaching!"

  Even the falcons in the sky have said so, so there is no mistake. All the lieutenants looked eagerly at General Nan Ke, and the latter's thoughts changed.

  He predicted the enemy attack, but the number was wrong.

   Seven thousand enemy troops can easily rewrite the outcome of the battle.

What should we do now? The opponent's menace came in a blink of an eye, and the army of Panlong City brought hundreds of trucks, and they couldn't run fast.

   No matter how brave the Panlongcheng army is, it is not easy to fight an enemy army six or seven times its size on an unobstructed plain, not to mention protecting merchants and trucks. Not to mention him, even if the Red General came personally, he might not be sure to retreat completely.

  General Nan Ke no longer hesitated, turned around and pointed at the ghost needle stone forest: "Turn around and enter the stone forest immediately!"

   There was also a lieutenant who was not enlightened and was taken aback: "General, there may be an ambush inside."

   "Nonsense, don't I know?" General Nan Ke said coldly, "Only there can we deal with it with all our strength! Even if it is a trap, we have to hold our noses and jump into it now!"

   Without further ado, the military orders were passed down one by one. The whole team immediately changed directions and rushed towards Ghost Needle Stone Forest.

  At the same time, General Nan Ke fed Sparrowhawk a small piece of dried meat, said a few words to it softly, and then patted it on the head: "Please run again."

  The sparrowhawk fluttered its wings.

  It has brown-red feathers with spots, and is bigger than ordinary birds of the same kind. After taking off, it flies towards the true north like a meteor, and its speed is more than a little faster than ordinary hawks.

  But no one noticed that the two big eagles hovering high in the sky turned around and followed them quietly.

  Puxigou.

  Like other cities on the Panlong Wasteland, Puxigou occupies a small area and has a small population, but it has been worn out by years of war with high walls and deep trenches. The Baling people attacked several times, but failed to knock it down.

   Today, the gates of Puxigou City are closed, and no one can come in or out. However, there are many new faces in the city, all of whom are fierce and murderous.

  They neither make noise nor make trouble, and they don't even talk to the local residents. They just stay in the open space under the city wall of Puxigou, sharpen their knives, drink their horses, and close their eyes to rest their minds.

  This army has a peculiar temperament, standing like a pine, sinking like a deep pool, but it seems to contain a fire, which can explode at any time to hurt people. The bright red battle armor on their bodies made the civilians look at them with reverence.

   Gale Army.

  No one expected that General Nan Ke was still escorting the merchant team on the wasteland two or three hundred miles away, but the Gale Army quietly marched into Puxigou.

  Xiao Maoliang was adjusting the saddle and bridle of his beloved horse when he heard the sound of flapping wings from above.

  He looked up, and a sparrowhawk that looked familiar fell from mid-air with its wings folded and landed on the top of the city.

coming.

  Xiao Maoliang's heart tightened, and he rushed to the top of the city in three steps and two steps, just in time to hear the bird monster say:

   "Report, General Nan Ke was attacked by the enemy in Ghost Needle Stone Forest!"

  The owner it reported stood at the head of the city facing the southern wilderness. Except for the bright red armor, others could only see the violently clattering cloak.

  Behind him are all good generals who have experienced battles and talked and laughed, but standing here with their hands down and their faces respectful, it seems that they dare not take a breath.

  The falcon demon is still reporting: "The number of enemy troops in Baling is nearly ten thousand. General Nan Ke hid in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest and sent me to ask you for help!"

   Nearly ten thousand? Xiao Maoliang and the other lieutenants looked at each other in blank dismay.

  The Baling army in Weicheng has less than 3,000 members in total. Even if they go out in full force, where will the other 6,000 or 7,000 people come from?

   After Falcon Yao finished speaking, the man turned his head slightly, the wind above the city suddenly stopped, the air was stagnant, and the fluttering cloak immediately fit.

  It is easy to affect the surrounding environment.

   But the vision was only for a moment. The man raised his hand and pointed to the west, and a cold voice sounded directly in the hearts of everyone: "Ready to attack."

  The soldiers at the head of the city five feet away did not hear him at all.

  The lieutenants were slightly surprised: "General, shall we go to Ghost Needle Stone Forest without dividing our troops?"

   "General Nan Ke can withstand it." An understatement of a word, doomed the life and death of the southern patrol army in the next few hours.

   Fortunately, Sparrowhawk received another instruction from his master: "You fly back to Panlong City now, and go to rescue General Nan Ke."

  It is about 300 miles from Panlong City to Ghost Needle Stone Forest. Even if you go fast, you will have to run for three or four hours. The road on Panlong Wasteland is not all smooth, and it will be dark in another hour.

   This is not counting the time for Sparrowhawk to fly back to Panlong City.

  A rough calculation, thank God if the reinforcements arrive early in the morning, General Nan Ke's team will have to survive at least four or five hours alone.

   "Yes!" Sparrowhawk reported again, "I was followed by two giant eagles high in the sky on the way here, and I flew eighty miles before getting rid of them."

   "You recognize them?"

   "I don't recognize it, and it doesn't look like a monster in the wasteland."

   Six or seven thousand enemy troops descended from the sky, birds and monsters of unknown origin. With such an extra variable, several lieutenants felt bad.

"It's useless to get rid of them." The man said to Sparrow Eagle, "Panlong City is in the southeast direction. You don't fly there, but you go straight to the north. This has indicated to the enemy that Nan Ke's reinforcements are in the north. North ...and only Puxigou."

  Sparrowhawk immediately lowered his head.

  Received the call for help from General Nan Ke, of course it rushed here with all its strength, how could it be so considerate?

  The man waved his hand, and Sparrowhawk had no choice but to flap its wings and fly to Panlong City.

  It arrived one step earlier, and General Nan Ke could receive assistance earlier.

   "That is to say, the newly joined enemy will soon know that we are in Puxigou, and it is not difficult to infer that our goal is Weicheng." After all, it is only a few dozen miles away from Weicheng, and the cavalry can reach it by raising their legs.

  For the Baling people, the Panlong Army was divided into two groups of soldiers, and the other side was still hiding in Puxigou. The intention is very clear, right?

  So, "We attack now, and we can't count it as a surprise soldier."

   There is a chance of winning if there is a surprise.

  Their original battle plan was to lure the desperate Hua Mucuo to attack General Nan Ke and the caravan with all his strength, while the Gale Army secretly hiding in Puxigou took the opportunity to recover Weicheng and get rid of this thorn in their side in one fell swoop.

  Puxigou can't accommodate thousands of troops stationed for a long time, but it's okay to persist for a few days.

   It sounds like this plan is a bit rudimentary, but battles have always been about simple plans, careful execution, and the combination of virtual and real ways to achieve miraculous results. After Hua Mucuo took down Weicheng, he was at a disadvantage in several moves against Panlongcheng.

   When a close relative is killed, who dares to say that I can bear it, I will not get angry, I will not send troops, and I will not take revenge?

  People are most likely to make mistakes and not listen to advice when they are in a state of qi and blood.

On the other hand, if Hua Mucuo calmly responds and doesn't take the bait, then at most the Dafeng army will return to Panlong City, and General Nan Ke successfully escorted the merchants back to Puxigou. For sure, sooner or later.

  However, the more than 7,000 Baling troops parachuted over disrupted this plan at once.

As the bait, General Nan Ke and the merchants are in danger. If the Gale Army sits idly by and still steals Weicheng according to the original plan, there will be two problems: First, General Nan Ke brought more than a thousand troops and hundreds of trucks , How long can you face seven thousand opponents?

  Secondly, will the Gale Army be able to capture Weicheng?

  Xiao Maoliang frowned: "The other party can send nearly ten thousand troops to intercept General Nan Ke and the caravan, maybe there are troops stationed in Weicheng, and there will no longer be an empty city."

  This operation is not to be caught in the bait instead of fishing, it would be ridiculous.

  The man in front asked them: "If you are the new commander of the Baling people, and you know that General Nan Ke's backup is in Puxigou, what is your next plan?"

Xiao Maoliang was startled: "New commander?" Then he suddenly realized, "Yes, Hua Mucuo has only two thousand people under his command, and this new Baling army must be led by someone else." Otherwise, General Nan Ke would not be caught off guard. .

The generals thought about it and expressed their opinions, but in summary, if you are the commander of Baling, you have to see how many people are left in your hands. If you have more people, you will attack Puxigou. The army succeeded.

   "Where do you think this team came from?"

   "The territory of Baling!" This time, the generals did not need to discuss, and they agreed: "The western part of the wilderness is barren and the water source is scarce. It cannot support so many troops, so this army must come from the territory of Baling."

  Does Baling Kingdom usually not want to send more people to the wasteland? No.

  Baling Kingdom has several strongholds in the western wilderness, and they can support less than five or six thousand elite troops. Weicheng is relatively rich.

   Unlike Panlong City, which is backed by the Chipa Plateau, which is uniquely blessed by nature, the fertile fields and thousands of miles are all owned by one family, so they can train strong soldiers and horses.

  The sudden appearance of so many Baling people on the wasteland must have been temporarily dispatched from China.

   "What do you think, the new commander-in-chief of Baling came here with such a mobilization of troops to beat General Nan Ke by surprise, just to defend Weicheng, to avenge Hua Mucuo, or to covet the little merchants in Puxigou?"

  A division must be famous. If the goal of the coach is not clear and firm, how can he command thousands of troops?

  Xiao Maoliang took a breath and understood: "His target is Puxigou, more likely it is us!"

  They are plotting against Weicheng, but the Baling people are plotting against them?

"Perhaps they still want to meet me." The man said lightly, "The other party has ambitions, so why is he willing to hide in Weicheng and be a coward? Whether we support General Nanke or attack Weicheng, they will not Absent, maybe his plan is the same as mine, to go around and seize the city."

   "Fortunately, the other party doesn't know our strength."
