Chapter 430 Guerrilla War
The Guzhu Kingdom occupied it, but there was no people and food here, only a bunch of houses.
In addition to the house, there is yellow sand all over the sky.
However, this is not a big problem for the Liang army now. They already have the food prepared by the countries in the Western Regions, so pay attention to supporting them for half a year.
But the only drawback is that the transportation route is too long and it has to pass through the desert.
Guan Sheng led the pioneer army to fight first, and the most important thing was mobility, so the food he carried was at most for seven days.
I originally thought that in battle, the front line would not be very far, and the army would soon catch up to pick it up.
But unexpectedly, Guzhu Kingdom did not face the battle. He easily occupied all the cities of Guzhu Kingdom, which was a huge joke for him, and the front line was extended dozens of times.
The longest one arrived at Yebei City, the capital of Guzhu, with a front line of 300 miles, and the mules and horses that transported food could not keep up.
Because the front line was too long, Li Yun quickly seized the opportunity and sent the Blood Sword Ancestor to attack the surroundings of Yebei City. When dozens of Liang soldiers who were left alone were about to be dealt with, Guan Sheng suddenly came out to fight against the Blood Sword Ancestor.
The Blood Sword Ancestor has strong martial arts skills, but Guan Sheng's martial arts skills are even better than him.
After several rounds of fierce battles, Guan Sheng hit the throat of the Blood Sword Ancestor.
The Blood Knife Ancestor hurriedly dodged, and Guan Sheng took the opportunity to pull out the whip from his waist and hit him hard on the back.
With a loud bang, the Blood Knife Ancestor vomited blood in his mouth, turned around and ran away.
Guan Sheng chased after him, and dozens of blood sword monks came out to block his way.
Guan Sheng was furious and waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to kill all of them.
After killing them all, the Blood Sword Ancestor was gone.
Guan Sheng was very upset. At this time, Guan Lin came to report: "Father, Your Majesty has arrived in Yebei City."
Hearing this, Guan Sheng hurriedly went to greet him.
Wu Tian's car drove into the city, and Guan Sheng led officials from all over the world to greet him.
Just as he was about to kneel down, he was stopped by Wu Tian.
"This time you attack Guzhu Kingdom, my dear, you have made the greatest contribution. This kneeling ceremony will be temporarily spared. How about it, have Li Yun and the others come to harass you?"
Guan Sheng bowed and said, "The Blood Sword Ancestor came to attack me just now, but he has been injured by me. I guess they should not dare to provoke again during this period."
Wu Tian nodded slightly, looked at the empty Guzhu Capital City, and then looked at the desert beyond the edge, frowned slightly.
Guan Sheng and others did not understand, but it was not convenient for them to ask.
"After getting settled the car, I summoned all generals and officials to discuss matters at the Guzhu Kingdom Palace at night."
Wu Tian ordered to turn around and leave.
The generals hurriedly went to do it.
At night, the generals waited in the hall according to their official positions, waiting for Wu Tian to be dispatched at any time.
Wu Tian walked into the hall, sat in the main seat, and accepted the visits of generals of all sizes.
"I originally thought that Li Yun's guerrilla tactics would be vulnerable, but today I still underestimate it. Although Guzhu Kingdom is not big, there are scattered hills and villages everywhere. Outside the hills and villages, there is yellow sand everywhere. The living conditions here are much more difficult than those in the South Vietnam Kingdom. More importantly, we are not familiar with the terrain here at all, and we don't even want to catch a local person to serve as a guide for us."
"But if we go back here, we will dispatch 500,000 troops and get nothing. If we spread it, where will our Liang Kingdom give us a face? So I came to you to discuss whether you have any good countermeasures to lure Li Yun and the others out, and then destroy them when fighting in the wild."
As soon as Wu Tian finished speaking, the generals looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Guan Sheng stood up first and bowed to Wu Tian and said, "Your Majesty, I am brave. I feel that this Guzhu Kingdom is located in a desert area and its land is barren. Even if we occupy such a place, it will not be of great benefit. On the contrary, we have to spend manpower and material resources to manage this place. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to withdraw the army. If you are afraid of the Guzhu Kingdom in the future, I think we can garrison troops on the main roads of the Silk Road, so that we can supervise Guzhu Kingdom on the spot, and protect the interests of the countries in the Western Regions and ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately received recognition from many generals. They stepped forward one after another and expressed Guan Sheng's point of view in just a few words.
After hearing this, Wu Tian smiled slightly, did not make a judgment, looked at the remaining soldiers who had not expressed their opinions, and said, "What do you think?"
Hua Rong stepped forward and bowed to Wu Tian and said, "Your Majesty, General Guan's words just now make sense. It can play a certain role in garrisoning the army on the Silk Road. But how many troops we station on the Silk Road, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 or 100,000? If there are 10,000 or 20,000 troops, it may not play a great role. As far as I know, the permanent troops of Guzhu Kingdom are above 100,000. If they are dispatched from all directions, the troops we stationed on will not be able to withstand it."
"As for the countries in the Western Regions, although they surrendered to us, we had no way to mobilize the troops in their hands. In this case, we were really passive. More importantly, there was no railway here, and all the materials were transported by people, horses and mules. With such conditions, it was really difficult to station one or two thousand troops. Therefore, I think that even if we have some losses now, we will have to destroy Li Yun. Only by completely destroying him can we completely stabilize the countries in the Western Regions. At the same time, occupy the territory of Guzhu Kingdom and establish a front station in the Western Regions."
As soon as these words were finished, they immediately received support from many generals.
After Wu Tian finished speaking, he pondered for a while and said, "I just thought about it and felt that the King of Zhenbei was right. Li Yun and the Ancestor of Blood Sword are the two masters who do not shed tears without seeing the coffin. Only by completely destroying them can the Western Regions be peaceful. I have made up my mind and hope that everyone will work together to help me eliminate Li Yun and the others!"
"yes!"
The generals shouted in unison.
...
In the Daming Mountains of Mobei, Li Yun was anxiously waiting for the news from the Blood Sword Ancestor.
The Liang army had occupied the entire Guzhu Kingdom, and Yebei City was their prominent place.
As long as you win the first victory, you can rub Liang Jun's spirit.
Just as we were waiting, two blood sword monks came back with the bloody ancestor who was full of blood.
"What's going on?"
Li Yun looked at all this in surprise.
A blood sword monk said, "Our ancestor and we were originally attacking more than a dozen Liang troops left alone outside Yebei City. Who knew that as soon as we took action, we saw Guan Sheng leading a large group of troops to fight. The ancestor and Guan Sheng were accidentally injured by him."
