The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 15: The water is deep and hot

After another moment, my mood finally calmed down, carefully calculating how to deal with the current situation, four hundred to three thousand, both sides are elite, but we have my burden here, I am afraid I want to escape. If you can't escape, it won't be too late to think about Lu Can's affairs. Escape now is the top priority. I forced myself to forget the fact that I was in a bumpy and dark car, thinking carefully about how to save myself. After a while, my heart suddenly brightened. The Flying Tiger ordered me to capture me alive and kill King Qi. It seems that to him, I and King Qi are of different importance. From the point of view of the bounty, it seems that I It is more important to them, but in my opinion, it is not the case. For the generals who lead troops, it is naturally that the life and death of King Qi is more important to them, and I am afraid that these generals may not be able to understand the importance of them. For them, maybe I am just a task they need to complete, perhaps because of this. For this reason, my bounty is higher. This is to prevent those soldiers from chasing the King of Qi. Even if my estimation was wrong, they regarded me more importantly than King Qi, and it didn't matter to my plan.

I was thinking about it. Suddenly the car door was pulled open forcibly, and I saw King Qi, who was covered in blood, shouted at me: "Suiyun, we must divide our forces."

I said to my heart, it turned out that the hero saw the same thing, and quickly said: "Zhe also has this intention." Looking out, I saw that we had reached a narrow intersection with rocks on both sides, Qi Wang Mingren blocked the intersection and temporarily stopped the pursuers. I quickly took the special blue cloak from the car and fastened it to my body, and then told Xiao Shunzi: "You quickly change into your armor, and then take me on a horse. We and His Royal Highness Qi will part ways, please Your Highness will give me another fifty people. I want to come so that the enemy forces can be dispersed."

A look of relief flashed in the eyes of King Qi, and said: "That's right, but Suiyun, you have to be careful. If their target is you, I am worried that you will be difficult to get out."

I smiled and said: "Perhaps, but for the soldiers of the North Han Dynasty, you are probably the first goal in their minds, so the most under pressure this time may be your Highness." Then King Qi and I hurriedly studied After some details of the operation, the cavalry guarding the intersection was exhausted after a while. At this time, Xiao Shunzi has everything ready. He first untied the two horses that were pulling the carriage. These two white horses were selected in advance, and they were fully qualified for the work of war horses. Xiao Shunzi gave one of the horses to the other cavalry to lead, and then replaced them with white horses. He took out two long spears from under the carriage seat and connected them to turn them into two long spears. Xiao Shunzi walked over to support me on the horse first, and then he jumped up and let me sit behind him. He carefully tied me and him with a belt. At this time, a hundred tiger guards and five Qi Wang guards have also formed a team. I immediately glanced at Qi Wang and said calmly: "His Royal Highness, the minister is one step ahead."

After that, Xiao Shunzi gave an order. Our cavalry, consisting of a hundred tiger guards and fifty guards of the king of Qi, rushed to the wilderness first. After rushing for a few miles, I turned around and saw that the king of Qi had already I took another cavalry and fled in another direction, but my specially made carriage was overthrown at the intersection, blocking the chasing soldiers. My carriage was quite heavy, and it seemed that they could not get there for a while. .

This time I split the army after careful consideration, but I admire King Qi's ability to figure this out so quickly. He has been fighting all the time. The enemy's goal is two, and we are together. It won't be too big, but the enemy can go all out. Although we are weak in the division of forces, the enemy will hesitate about how to arrange the division. We will not suffer. Moreover, it was a defeat if only to escape for his life and unable to fight back. Now King Qi can say that he has no concerns, and he can fight back.

At this moment, Xiao Shunzi in front said: "My son, there are about a thousand people behind, what are we going to do?"

I was very happy. For those arrogant soldiers, the commander-in-chief of King Qi is the most important. However, one thousand cavalry is not a small number. If we can't wipe out them, we can't get away. Go and help King Qi. Looking at the surrounding terrain, I said: "Let Hu Yanshou go into the wilderness. I have 20 flying divine fires with me."

Xiao Shunzi can see through at one point, and immediately nodded: "I understand, fire and water are merciless, it is a good way." After that, he and Hu Yanshou, who commanded the cavalry, began to study. Hu Yanshou was originally from Yongwang Mansion At that time, the guard by his side, this time the emperor sent him here specially, and for this reason, how could he condescend to be the deputy commander of the dignified tiger guard. I heard him and Xiao Shunzi talking about how to get the enemy to the bait, and he was really a general who is good at using soldiers. I silently prayed in my heart that I could succeed in one fell swoop, otherwise my life might be sent here.

At this moment, the chasers behind are getting closer. There is no way. Although Xiao Shunzi's riding skills are also very good, it is far from the cavalry who almost live on the horse. Fortunately, Hu Yanshou did a good job of command, and turned around, but he was not surrounded by enemy forces behind him. After another moment, the enemy has lured us into a wilderness of weeds. In the late autumn, the withered and yellow weeds are dry and flammable. Seeing that the wind was right, Xiao Shunzi shouted, and everyone speeded up. The Northern Han cavalry behind them still controlled the speed of their horses. This was what we had expected. When the cavalry chased and killed the enemy, the most taboo was to ride the horses with all their strength. In this way, it would be easy to use too much horsepower. Being left behind, generally speaking, unless they are already encircled or when the enemy has no way to go forward, they will generally not ride their horses with all their strength. Basically they will control the speed of the horses and follow the enemy without hurried until they are tired. When the time comes, you can attack again to win in one fell swoop. Of course, this is the criterion when the cavalry of the enemy and ours are of the same quality. If the enemy is too weak, naturally this method is not used. Therefore, Xiao Shunzi and the others speeded up their horses, and the chasers behind were left behind, but they did not speed up their horses as well, lest they were dragged down by us.

Unfortunately, they did it wrong this time. Just when the two sides were more than two miles apart, Hu Yanshou screamed. Our army was divided into more than a dozen teams and spread out. I could hear them behind. The enemy troops of the Northern Han Dynasty laughed loudly, presumably they thought that our troops were going to disperse and flee. In this way, they would be sure to win. I could even hear their laughter with the joy of hunting prey. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly rode his horse and turned his head back, and then he added a small silver tube in his hand. He continued to press the mechanism above, and flames flew from the inside, which quickly ignited the yellow and dry grassland. If it is the usual method of setting fire, I am afraid that before the fire ignited, the enemy forces of the Northern Han Dynasty had already broken through the flame defense line, but the flying sacred fire used by Xiao Shunzi this time was extraordinary, and the fire had spread in an instant. And at this moment, the scattered Yong army also lit the same fire from several other locations. The fire was quickly connected into one piece. The crescent-shaped fire circle rushed towards the Northern Han cavalry, and there were weeds everywhere. Man, the Northern Han Cavalry wanted to go around the circle of fire to chase, but it was too late. They had to retreat, but their direction was the downwind, and the flames chased them with black smoke. They had just run out of seven or eight miles, but desperately discovered that the same fire blocked their way back.

I could hear the tragic screams in the sea of ​​fire. I was awe-inspiring, and I couldn’t help but feel a little proud. Fortunately, because the flying **** fire was small in shape and powerful, I brought twenty of them on the carriage. It was all used up, but a thousand cavalry chasers were broken, which is also worth the money. Although I also know that it is impossible to completely wipe out the enemy, at least half of them can be wiped out.

But what makes me a little regretful is that the four people who were sent to the back to set the fire are probably nine dead. In order to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy, I asked Hu Yanshou to send four people to leave on the way, rounding back to the sides, seeing the fire in front, and when the North Han army fled back, I added two more fires, so that the fire could be more powerful. Connected, blocking the enemy's way of life. But Feitian Divine Fire is too powerful, and now the wind is so strong, they probably won't be able to come back. But I admire their courage very much in my heart. Although I know it is dangerous to stay and set fire, they are all vying for the first place, which makes me feel ashamed.

But these things can't be taken care of anymore. Hu Yanshou has gathered the army, and we have to leave soon. Now we are too close to the fire scene. If the wind changes, I am afraid we will have to bury them.

Abandoning the chasing soldiers who don’t know the life or death, we rushed to the scheduled meeting place. Dayong has many strongholds on the border. King Qi and I agreed on the meeting place. Then, King Qi can stick to the fortress. We can attack the North Han Army from behind. There is no way. Twenty flying sacred fires are not enough to deal with three thousand cavalry, so I can only induce them to divide their troops first, and then annihilate one of them. Fortunately, there are fewer cavalry chasing me, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a bitter battle. While listening to the wind in my ears, I prayed that His Royal Highness Qi could reach the meeting place safely, otherwise I would have nothing to do.

Of course I don’t know at this time. About half an hour later, when only a piece of black ashes remained in the field that was on fire at the beginning, the corpses of several scorched war horses were pushed away from A man covered in black and gray stood up under the horse, and he sternly shouted: "Jiang Zhe, Wei will swear by you!"

This person is Wei Ying. On that day, he was ordered by Lu Can to bring Lin Bi’s tokens to the Northern Han Army. After receiving Lin Bi’s order from General Feihu Quartz, he took it with him. Three thousand cavalrymen lurked on the way back to King Qi. And Wei Yin, who hated Da Yong, also volunteered to participate in this action, and to his heart's heart, Jiang Zhe really followed Qi Wang. Later, when Quartz divided his troops to hunt down, Wei Ying also chose to hunt down Jiang Zhe, but he was trapped by the sea of ​​fire. Wei Yin was savvy. Knowing his riding skills were mediocre and impossible to escape the sea of ​​fire, he took advantage of the chaos and killed several backward Northern Han cavalry, killed their horses, and then hid under the horse's belly. In the blood and water, this barely escaped the fate of being buried in the sea of ​​fire. He cursed angrily, and then embarked on the journey back to Nanchu. He wouldn't be so stupid to chase Jiang Zhe and deal with more than a hundred cavalry alone. He didn't have the courage.

When we finally arrived at Gushanzhai, although I was taken by Xiao Shunzi, I was still exhausted, and my inner legs were worn out by saddles. I will stand this year, but I have never eaten This kind of suffering, when I was awakened by the deafening cry of killing, I realized that our cavalry was parked under the hillside, and not far from it was the top of the hill. I could hear the sound of fighting on the other side of the hill.

Xiao Shunzi helped me down and said, "My son, the Gushanzhai is right in front of me. His Royal Highness King Qi is surrounded by the village. The defenders in the village have failed to rescue me several times." He clenched his teeth and stood up, saying: "You can help me to take a look."

Xiao Shunzi stretched out his hand to embrace my waist, and without seeing how he moved, he took me to the top of the mountain, hiding behind a rock, and then I saw the battlefield.

Gushanzhai got its name because this stockade was built on a small hill, not so much a hill, as a rocky hill, and there is a huge spring water flowing down the mountain. When building the house, a ditch two to three feet deep was dug around the stockade, and then spring water was poured into it. The strong mountain village has both the advantages of the terrain and the "moat" to resist the enemy. It is a very important fortress. Unfortunately, because the stockade is too strong, most of the troops stationed inside are infantry, only three hundred cavalry. I looked down and saw that, just a thousand steps away from the stockade, His Royal Highness Qi brought more than a hundred scarred cavalry to rush and kill, and was trapped by more than a thousand cavalry. The other seven or eight hundred Northern Han cavalry were cruising outside Gushanzhai, blocking the reinforcements of Gushanzhai. I can clearly see that there are large corpses and some unowned war horses wandering along the moat. At the highest point of the stockade, the straight black smoke was billowing upwards.

At this time, Hu Yanshou also followed, worrying and authentic: "My lord, the sergeant in the village had thought of responding to the village, but was blocked from returning. Although the village is now using beacon to notify the nearby villages, there is no hour. I'm afraid they won't be there. My lord, we must rescue His Royal Highness Qi."

I looked at the two fighting parties below in amazement. This was the first time I saw the elite cavalry confrontation so close. Although the power gap was a little bit different, King Qi did not show any timidity at all. It was going to the weak underbelly of the enemy. Although the Flying Tiger General Quartz, who commanded the Northern Han Army, was swift and always trapped King Qi and the others in the formation, he could never suppress King Qi. I asked a little strangely: "Hu Yanshou, although it may be because of His Royal Highness King Qi's brilliant tactics, why do I think quartz is a bit misleading?"

Hu Yanshou said: "My lord does not know that several generals in the Northern Han Dynasty have their own strengths. Quartz is good at attacking thousands of miles. This time, the elite guards next to His Royal Highness are only above Quartz, so Quartz can't attack quickly. Successful, this ability of marching and formation, the Northern Han army is headed by the ghost-faced general Tan Ji, while in my Da Yong army, few cavalry commanders can beat His Royal Highness, so this situation can happen.

There was a fluke in my heart. If the ghost-faced general Tan Ji was chasing and ambushing us this time, I might be able to collect the body of King Qi. Of course, this would still be the case if I could escape. The arrangement of the Northern Han Dynasty this time was not improper, but I did not expect that I would bring the flying sacred fire that was originally prepared for the East China Sea. In addition, I forgot that the autumn is high and the grass grows, which is the easiest season to use fire attack. . However, the Quartz's tactics were restrained by King Qi, but it was a helpless move. I don’t think the Northern Han Dynasty could have thought that King Qi would go to the East China Sea in advance. It must have been dispatched in front of nearby Quartz after getting information from Lin Bi. The conditions are a little worse, and this is not the situation today. After carefully observing the battle for a long time, I said sternly: "Xiao Shunzi, you will follow General Huyan into the Northern Han Army. Although your riding skills are worse, you should barely compare to an ordinary cavalry. After practicing the Jiang family’s marksmanship, it should be used. If you can get the life of Quartz, it’s naturally best. If you can’t, let Quartz no longer be able to command the enemy like an arm. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Xiao Shunzi and Hu Yanshou both frowned slightly, and Hu Yanshou first said: "My lord, Li Ye is a powerful martial artist, and the last general has seen it with his own eyes back then, but my lord, your safety is important. If Li Ye also goes into battle to kill the enemy, If an adult was injured by the rebellion at that time, we couldn't afford it."

I smiled bitterly: "General Huyan, this is also a last resort. You have to command the army. I am afraid that you will not be able to take the flag off, and if you cannot win, you are all here to protect Jiang. It doesn't help. Let's keep a few tigers to protect me. As long as you make a quick fight, I shouldn't be in much danger." I'm sorry to say that Hu Yanshou has no absolute certainty to suppress the quartz.

Xiao Shunzi didn’t say anything. He understood the current situation. He also knew that Jiang Zheling came out like a mountain. He said in his heart that the best solution is to kill Quartz quickly and then come back to protect the son. I can't help but regret not letting Jiang Zhe bring a few more confidantes. At this time, King Qi underneath was already in a disorganized formation, which seemed to be the end of the battle. I hurriedly ordered: "General Huyan, you act quickly. If your Highness is injured, I am afraid we can't afford it."

Hu Yanshou promised in a low voice and arranged for a few powerful martial arts tiger guards to protect me, and then returned to the horse. Xiao Shunzi glanced at me and got on the horse as well. At this moment, I remembered something and hurriedly approached. Yelled: "Xiao Shunzi, one more thing?" Xiao Shunzi showed a questioning look on his face, leaned over and lowered his head, I hurriedly said a few words in his ear, and then quickly stepped aside.

Seeing that everyone was ready to stop, Hu Yanshou raised his horse, pointed at the sky silently, and then swung down suddenly, nearly two hundred cavalry rushed to the top of the mountain, and then screamed down like a gallop, standing on the side. I felt the ground was shaking, the rubble was rolling, and I almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the tiger guards who stayed around to protect me caught me.

These tiger guards were all guards who protected me in the cold garden back then. They have been promoted in the past few years, and at least they are rank six military attachés, but when they met with me a few days ago, they followed I complained, saying that after I ran away, they were severely reprimanded by the King Yong of the year for "ineffective protection", and the current emperor finally knew that they were wronged and did not punish them, but because they were by my side. After a few years, they have been reused, but they still can’t stand up for a long time. Fortunately, they will definitely not laugh at me. When they were in the cold garden, they were all responsible for keeping an eye on my physical condition. Once they saw that my complexion was not good, they had to go to the Yongwang Mansion who was specially responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of me. Medical. Although I have basically recovered to health now, in their minds, it is probably the medicine jar that may die at any time.

When I stood up, I happened to see Xiao Shunzi rushing into the Northern Han army's riding formation behind Hu Yanshou. The white horse, silver spear and snow robe, majestic and majestic, made me feel a little jealous, what a pity , It is impossible for me to fight the enemy. The black and red iron flow was unstoppable. The Northern Han Army did not expect an ambush, and for a while, it was in chaos, but the Qi king’s army was shaken and fought hard. At this time, the village was also alarmed and the gate of the village was opened. , The cavalry in the village with more than a hundred people left was also killed. Although the strength of the Yong Army was still not as good as the North Han Army, but the attack from inside and outside, the three sides attacked, the North Han Army was in chaos.

Quartz never expected that there would be an enemy army behind him at this time. They had cleared many of Da Yong’s scouts beforehand, and the Yong’s army within the strongholds followed the strict orders of the Qi king and would not easily leave the village. Yes, so he could have safely besieged King Qi on the spot, and the Jiang Zhe who "ran away" with the guard was not in his eyes. A resourceful counselor may not necessarily be a general who can lead the battle. If it hadn’t been for Lin Bi’s instructions that Quartz had to kill Jiang Zhe, and the South Chu envoy insisted that way, he would not send a thousand people to chase Jiang Zhe. As for Jiang Zhe’s ability to escape, Quartz But he had never expected it, so he would never have thought that there would be reinforcements nearby. And when he saw the black and red armor, Quartz's first thought was to think of the safety of the cavalry chasing Jiang Zhe. At the same time as his heart was cold, the order to stop the enemy was inevitably too late, just such a moment. In between, the defeat was achieved.

Quartz was very decisive and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army. After his pro-army was broken, the Northern Han Dynasty cavalry fled with a large number of people. Quartz just knocked down a Yong army who was in the way, and a white shadow flashed in front. A knight in white clothes and white armor blocked his way. The visor concealed the man's face, and his appearance was not visible, but his figure was not tall. Quartz smiled coldly, relied on his strength and shook his head. Go, the knight did not evade. A silver spear leaned out from the bridle. The spears slammed into each other. The quartz only felt as if it had crashed into a ball of cotton. The focus seemed to be real and empty, and he couldn't help but stagger. At this time, the knight's silver spear split quickly and scattered into the sky, and countless small and icy air currents aroused by the tip of the spear pounced on the quartz. Quartz yelled, Ma Li swiped in the air, the hot wind blocked the silver spear's offensive, and the sharp sound of a series of war blades and the violent storm made the two of them within a radius of several meters. No one can gain a foothold anymore.

Quartz is a famous military commander in the Northern Han Dynasty. Although he has encountered opponents on the battlefield, it has never been as difficult as today. If it were not for the fact that he had noticed that the man’s spear and riding skills were very different, he would use his own riding skills. I am afraid that the above advantages cannot be matched with that person. The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the man gradually gained the upper hand. Suddenly the silver spear turned into a meteor, piercing the quartz line of defense, and the quartz dodged hard, but the man still pierced the right rib with a single shot, and the quartz screamed. With a sound, regardless of life and death, Ma Jian tried his best to make a move. The man took a step back on his horse. Quartz turned and fled. A dozen guards around him blocked the enemy's offensive by coincidence, and the silver spear turned into a little star rain. , A brilliant bright red flashed in the sky, when the dozen guards died under the silver gun, Quartz had already rushed far away under the protection of other guards. Seeing that the Xuepao warlord was too late to catch up, he shouted: "Quartz, tell your Royal Highness Jiaping that Nan Chu has not settled any kind of heart. They are just spreading the news, but you are ruining soldiers, this snipe. The clams are fighting, is the fisherman’s profitable strategy unclear?"

Quartz heard clearly in his ears. Although he knew it was to instigate discord, he still felt anger in his heart. He couldn't help but doubt Nan Chu's intentions. According to the messenger, the person who instigated him was Nan Chu Lu Can. Lu Can is Jiang Zhe's disciple. Doesn't the disciple know what Master is capable of? Could it be that Lu Can just passed the news to us when he knew that we couldn't do it easily?

I heard Xiao Shunzi’s shout from a high place with a smile on his face. Lu Can and Lin Bi joined forces to harm me. This hatred must be reported. The military leader of the Northern Han Dynasty is Long Tingfei. If Long Tingfei had a warning against Lu Can, then the Northern Han and Southern Chu collusion would be avoided, and I would have less trouble.

After a while, the battlefield has calmed down, and only Sergeant Da Yong who cleaned up the aftermath is left. Only then did I walk up the mountain under the protection of several tiger guards. There is only a short distance. If the horse rides in a flash, my inner legs are already **** and bloody. I really don't want to ride a horse. Although walking is painful, I have to recognize it. When he reached the bottom of the mountain, King Qi brought his guards to greet him. He was covered with scars and blood, and he was very embarrassed, but he didn't take it to heart. When I saw him, I laughed and said, "Suiyun, you are good at it. In the future, I will also command to kill the enemy."

I resisted the impulse to give him a few glances, and said, "His Royal Highness is embarrassing me. If I can go to battle and kill the enemy, then everyone in Nanchu can join the army.

At this time, the defending generals in the village also came to invite us into the village. I saw that Xiao Shunzi was working with Hu Yanshou and the others. I felt there was no danger anymore, so I walked to the gate of the village side by side with King Qi. The suspension bridge here~IndoMTL.com~ There are a lot of dead bodies there, and they have not been cleaned up yet, but everyone here is battle-tested except me, and no one cares about it. I can only turn a blind eye to the inside of the village, thinking, hurry up to take a shower, change clothes, and get some sleep.

Vaguely, Li Hu opened his eyes. He was a small cavalry under General Feihu Quartz. He was accidentally stabbed and fell off the horse while blocking the reinforcements of the cottage, and hit his head. On the rocks, so unconscious. In the rush during the war, no one noticed that he was not dead. He was in a coma for a long time, until Quartz was defeated and left. After such a long time, no one thought that there would be a living person here. The Yong army, who was busy cleaning up the battlefield, had not had time to take care of it. They simply dragged away some corpses blocking the suspension bridge, and then went to clean the battlefield, rescue their comrades, and slapped the heavily wounded North Han army or took it aside. . So Li Hu just lay there, no one asked. When he opened his eyes, he happened to see a general wearing a royal golden armor and a red shirt and a Tsing Yi scribe walking side by side to the suspension bridge. Li Hu's heart burned like a fire, knowing that the Northern Han army must have been defeated. With his eyes flashing, Li Hu saw that there was a stance that I didn’t know who had dropped it. He couldn’t think much about it. Li Hu tried his best to grasp the stance, then suddenly sat up and threw the only weapon in his hand. Got out. He saw that everyone was almost wearing battle armor, and he was worried that he was weak and could not succeed in one fell swoop, but he was thrown at the Tsing Yi scribe.

Li Hu, who exhausted all his strength, only felt black in front of his eyes. After seeing that Tsing Yi scribe's heart was stabbed by a step, his body was shaky, and after falling under the bridge in dumbfounded by everyone, Li Hu did not The force resisted the Yong army rushing over to hold him down, letting them bind and beat him, his heart was full of joy and he burst out laughing.
