The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 19: Goshawk folded wings (middle)

Lu Boyan, Lu Zhongtian, and Lu Shuhan were originally born from one sire. They had normal appearances, the same bravery, and a sharp heart. They were accepted as disciples by the Demon Sect and taught martial arts. When the three joined forces to attack, they really were Invincible, they are the most famous vanguard of the North Han Army after Su Dingluan. They have been watching the battle for a long time, and they have long been itching. Seeing Long Tingfei’s order, they all promised, and each rushed to the headquarters of the army to prepare to fight.

The Yong army dispatched 50,000 infantrymen, archers, spearmen, and vine players in a staggered array, layered on top of each other, forming a large formation like a golden soup, and 70,000 cavalry soldiers hidden behind the infantry formation, cast iron The cast elite cavalry waited motionlessly for the orders of the Chinese army, except for occasional cavalry to comfort the horses eagerly attracted by the tragic atmosphere on the battlefield, there was almost no extra action. There are also 30,000 infantrymen ready to replace their tired comrades at any time under the command of the Chinese army, and the murderous aura is faint in the infantry formation.

The Northern Han Army were all cavalry. Thirty thousand cavalry were cruising outside the Yong Army’s array. Strong bows and crossbows were looking for the weakness of the Yong Army, weakening the enemy’s defense layer by layer. This is a battle for strength, and there is no room for trickery. Blood splattered and dyed the field red, and the flying bows and arrows brought blood rain from time to time.

After half a day of bitter fighting, the North Han Army was still unable to achieve a satisfactory record in the face of tough enemy forces. Long Tingfei also rotated the North Han Army into battle, and the two sides were almost engaged in a war of attrition. In the afternoon, the right wing of the Yong Army was finally unable to hold it due to continuous fierce attacks. The North Han Army’s attacks were too frequent, so that this side could no longer be replaced by a new force. At this moment, Long Tingfei dispatched the Lu brothers.

Lu Boyan is holding a horse, and the cavalry behind him all use horses and spears. This cavalry is mainly responsible for the task of attacking fortifications, but they still carry a small compound bow, which can be used when needed. The role of safari. Lu Boyan held a horse in his hand and said loudly, “Follow me.” After saying that, he rushed into the right flank of the Yong army. The two armies collided, and the defense line of the Yong army was weakened again. At this time, Lu Zhongtian and Lu Shuhan also rushed into the right wing of the Yong army with his own troops. The three of them cooperated very well. After the momentum of the offensive weakened, they drifted away, and another person took over the attack. The alternating attacks between them were almost seamless. The continuous fierce assault finally tore the Yongjun’s defense line. The North Han army, which flooded into the Yongjun formation like a tide, began wanton killings, and their flesh and blood flew across.

At this time, the Yongjun army heard the sound of long horns. The right wing of the Yongjun army was like Wen Lunyin, and the infantry desperately resisting the North Han army scattered to both sides. Behind them there was a cyan armored Da Yong cavalry with thunderous horseshoes. They forcibly met the cavalry that attacked the most fierce Northern Han army. The two armies are strangling together, the center of gravity of the battlefield at this moment is here.

Lu Boyan has joined his two younger brothers, and the three screamed loudly at the same time. They are all brave generals who are stronger and stronger, and they even fought with Da Yongzhong for a while. At this time, there was a high-pitched horn command from the Central Army of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Lu Boyan cleared his mind, knowing that he should not face the heavy cavalry head-on. With a wave of his hand, he shouted: “Fight against their middle army.” After that, he led his subordinates to the infantry of the Dayong Middle Army, and his two younger brothers also skillfully replaced the vacancies left by him, and the riding formation changed naturally and smoothly. , Xiaoqi of the Northern Han Dynasty cut into the army of Dayong like a sharp blade.

I can see the enemy’s formation clearly under the banner of the military commander of the Dayongzhong Army. I can’t help but say: “What a cavalry, Jiang has heard that the North Han cavalry is fighting against the world. I saw it today. Well-deserved name.”

The knight in golden armor with the mask down said in a muffled voice: “The pioneer cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty is indeed elite. This is the performance after changing the command. Although the tactics are more sophisticated, it is compared with the former vanguard general Su Dingluan. When leading this cavalry, the momentum is already much weaker. However, our Dayong’s cavalry is no worse than theirs, but it’s a pity that they are all light cavalry. Our cavalry is not as fast as theirs. Zezhou is also a Pingchuan. It is suitable for them. If the two armies are in direct confrontation, their light cavalry is still not as powerful as our armored cavalry. You see, the North Han cavalry has avoided the edge of our heavy cavalry?”

I also nodded my head again and again and said: “You are right, but don’t forget that you are now dressed as Your Royal Highness. Don’t talk nonsense.”

The knight murmured something and did not continue to speak.

At this time, Xuan Song had already issued a military order, and Dayong’s Chinese army seemed to have turned into an ocean, merging the torrent of the Northern Han cavalry into it. With Dayong’s continuous deployment of troops, I can clearly see that under his command, the Northern Han cavalry was moving more and more difficultly. At this time, the Northern Han Army also dispatched 20,000 cavalry again, intending to move from the periphery. It penetrated Dayong’s army formation, but this army formation was very tough, resisting the attack from inside and outside, and Dayong’s heavy cavalry also showed off again. It hit the weakness of the North Han Army again and again. The next battle was simply dazzling. The methods used by both sides were precise and ruthless. However, I can still see that the North Han Army’s offensive was sharp and varied, while Xuan Song’s use of troops was tough and stable. It is an orderly and ruthlessly killing life and time. Until the setting sun went down, the North Han Army finally broke through Dayong’s army and slowly retreated after Long Tingfei personally broke it. Xuan Song also took advantage of the situation to retreat. In fact, if you speak seriously, Long Tingfei can’t make the cavalry successfully break through earlier, but that will cause heavy losses, and there will be no current results, and in the end Xuan Song is not impossible to force it. Stopped the North Han Army for a period of time, but this did not help the outcome of today’s victory and defeat, but it would increase the unsupported damage, so in the end, it can be said that the two sides retreated quite tacitly. On this day, the North Han Army left nearly 6,000 corpses, while the Yong Army suffered more than 25,000 casualties. It was not that Long Tingfei’s command was too much stronger than Xuan Song, but that the Da Yong Army today is dominated by infantry, while the Northern Han Army is a light cavalry that comes and goes like wind. This ratio of casualties is already a good result. There is no other way. The main generals of both sides did not make any excessive mistakes. They could only consume life and combat power in this way. Although Da Yong’s iron cavalry is more lethal, if the heavy cavalry is easily dispatched, it is not because of Long Tingfei. Finding the gap caused a heavy loss for our army, that is, Long Tingfei was unwilling to fight with us, and instead wandered with us. In this way, it lost the possibility of entanglement with the North Han army.

Most of the Northern Han forces are light cavalry, and they are equipped with two or three horses. Their marching speed is much faster than ours. I guess Long Tingfei might not be able to fight us head-on if he didn’t want to entangle the main force of our army. What? As for our army, without such a **** battle, the North Han army would not be able to believe that all the main forces of our army are here. In the past, the North Han army used to invade the invaders, and it was often scattered and harassed. However, since a few years ago, the king of Qi had established a defense system with strong walls and clear fields. Therefore, if the North Han army wanted to attack the city, it would be extremely difficult and easy. After being cut off by the Qi king’s army, the Northern Han army also changed the way of fighting. Long Tingfei often led the army and the king to circle around, and sent a special division to invade the interior of Zezhou. If the king of Qi wanted to guard against it, then the north The Han army can easily break through the outer walls. If King Qi comes to fight with the main force of the North Han army, then the partial division can come and go freely. If the King Qi wants to intercept the partial division first, then Long Tingfei can lead the north. The main force of the Han army pursued from behind, and Tan Ji was the best at sneak attack and escape. Quartz marched quickly. Although the Dayong army was stronger than the North Han, it was overwhelmed by the North Han army. Therefore, in the past few years, King Qi has mostly led his troops in a battle with the main force of the North Han Army, and the partial division can only rely on the defensive forces of various places. For this reason, the defense line has been continuously reduced, and the Zezhou area has almost been wiped out. These are the results of continuous battles over the past few years.

This time, King Qi adopted my suggestion, with Xuan Song as the main general against Long Tingfei, and personally led the troops to fight against or to seduce Tan Ji. This was definitely an unexpected decision. Originally, there was no one who could oppose Long Tingfei, who would have thought that King Qi, who is now more and more sure of forcing Long Tingfei to retreat, would not lead his troops himself. But this is also fortunate that Xuan Song still exists. I originally wanted it to be impossible, so I personally led the troops, with the assistance of the generals, at least I could barely draw a tie. Now with Xuan Song, I can rest assured, after all, I haven’t really commanded the battle.

I looked at Xuansong admiringly, and praised: “Xuan joined the army as a veteran soldier, and Long Tingfei did not mean to fight a decisive battle. In my opinion, he will not attack like this tomorrow. He loves his soldiers and horses. He is only above us. If you want Long Tingfei to have no extra energy to suspect that His Royal Highness is not in the army, it depends on the ability of Xuan joined the army.”

Xuan Song looked at Jiang Zhe’s peaceful smiling face, and couldn’t help feeling infinite gratitude. He was originally a literati, but after joining the army, he increasingly found that he was more suitable for commanding battles. Unfortunately, Da Yong established customary rules. If you want to lead the army alone, you must be able to go to battle and kill the enemy. If you are not good at martial arts, you definitely have no chance to become a general. Over the years, although Xuan Song can be said to actually lead the army, he has never been able to stand upright. In the beginning, it was because Jingchi was not in the army, so Xuan Song was in charge of military affairs. Later, Jingchi led the army again, but his subordinates led the two armies. This was originally Li Zhi’s purpose to strengthen Jingchi’s strength, and Jingchi saw that he was quite With the ability to lead soldiers, he simply let himself lead an army, but in name he was still just a member of the army. Until a few days ago, when he defeated the army, Jing Chi smiled and said that he wanted to make a point for himself. At that time, although Xuan Song was looking forward to it, he was also anxious. He naturally knew that Jiang Zhe, although he entered the Emperor Yong’s curtain later than himself, but his identity was unusual, and he was the most trusted confidant of Emperor Yong. , If he can say a word for himself, then his many years of expectations can come true. However, Xuan Song had also heard Jing Chi say that this Master Jiang seemed to be a little lazy by nature, never intervening in irrelevant matters, so he did not dare to hold high expectations. Unexpectedly, that night I was summoned into the great tent of King Qi and was given the task of temporarily commanding the army. As long as I can successfully block Long Tingfei’s pace this time, I will definitely be promoted after the war, and I want to lead the army alone. Dreams, this battle is of great importance, so Xuan Song always trembled. Now, after a day of hard work, Xuan Song couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately saluted: “I would also like to thank Lord Supervisor, if it were not recommended by the adults, Xuan Mou has the opportunity to command the whole army. “

I smiled and said: “This is the fact that the Xuan Cengjun has accumulated so much for many years, and has achieved today’s achievements. I will just say a few more good things below.”

At this moment, the “King Qi” in golden armor stretched out immediately and said in distress, “My lord, if you let Qiaozu be your stand-in tomorrow? You can’t go to battle and kill the enemy, you have to wear this suit. The heavy armor is really painful.”

At this time, Qiao Zu, who was the guard behind him, couldn’t help but beg for mercy: “My lord, where do I have the demeanor of your Highness, let Ma Su be your Highness.”

I couldn’t help but laugh, and said, “Don’t worry, none of you can escape. You will take turns to be your Highness’s stand-in these few days.” Ma Su and Qiao Zu couldn’t help groaning in pain at the same time. I laughed secretly in my heart, and said, in the hunting palace that day, the four of you were ordered by King Qi to take me from Hanxiangyuan to King Qi’s residence. Although they saved my life, they didn’t have a good heart. I also tried to persuade King Qi to kill me several times, so as not to leave a curse. Although King Qi did not adopt your suggestions in the end, he had to retaliate his hatred. Tao Lin and Zhuang Jun were by King Qi’s side. There was no way to retaliate this time. In my hands, there is no reason not to retaliate. Today I just ask you to pretend to be His Royal Highness Qi. Although you have to hold the shelf for a day, it is not too difficult, and from now on, you still have a big advantage, the two said Maybe you are not lucky. Thinking of this in his heart, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Qiao and Ma only felt chills for a while. No wonder his highness smiled when he named us two to stay, and he kept talking about what Mr. Jiang likes to hold grudges, but it turns out that Mr. Jiang has a temperament. This kind of gaze must be reported. Thinking of this, the two of them didn’t know whether it was joy or sorrow. If they ended the past festivals like this, it would be great. They just don’t know how they will tease him in the past ten days. Thinking of this, they don’t know how to treat the two attendants. Whether Wang’s companions are envious or sympathetic, after all, sooner or later they will fall into the hands of the supervising army.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and said: “My son, will you stay on the battlefield for another day tomorrow? I see you look bad.”

I complained: “It’s so windy and sandy here. I’m tired and exhausted after sitting for a day. If I hadn’t had to cover up for His Royal Highness Qi here, I would have let you drive a carriage.”

At this time, Xuan Song, who had arranged the retreat, walked over and said with concern: “You may as well bring the camp tomorrow, and you can rest in it for a while. As long as you show up from time to time, it should not arouse suspicion. “

I smiled and said: “Don’t worry too much. Tomorrow Long Tingfei should not be so desperate. If his family is exhausted, we don’t need to worry about how to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. Xuan joined the army or think about it. Deal with him, as long as you survive for ten days, your Royal Highness should be able to report a good news.”

That night, we camped thirty miles south of Qin Ze. In the evening, I was sleeping dimly, only to hear the sudden killing sound from outside the account, I quickly got up, put on the big cloak, Xiao Shunzi He slept in the outer tent, he saw me coming out of the inner tent, and he whispered: “The enemy is stealing the camp. Don’t worry, the son.”

I was a little nervous. Although Xuan Canjun said that the enemy might steal the camp and made preparations in advance, I am still worried about being succeeded by the enemy. Regardless of Xiao Shunzi’s obstruction, I went to look outside the tent, and saw that in the dark night, fire was everywhere, countless dark shadows shuttled in the wilderness outside the camp. The night was dim. After a while, the North Han army probably Seeing that our barracks were tightly guarded, they retreated like a tide. And when the North Han Army just retreated, the Yong Army secretly hidden from another camp gate shouted in unison, and the arrows flew together. However, the North Han Army had already taken precautions and quietly disappeared into the darkness. , Neither side suffered excessive losses.

I just breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Suddenly, the campfire broke out, but the North Han Army attacked again. This time they did not enter the camp. They only fired the rocket into the camp. Xuan Song quickly ordered the fire and waited for the counterattack. The troops left the village, and the Northern Han Army had retreated. Overnight, the North Han army came to harass several times. The North Han army was erratic. Our army had no way to fight with them at night. Although it didn’t lose much, it didn’t sleep all night. On the next day, I still yawned a bit when the sun was three poles, but the generals and sergeants took turns to rest. Although they were not in good spirits, they were not as sluggish as I was. It seems that they have been prepared for this a long time ago. They have asked Xuansong and others to know that the Northern Han Army likes stealing camps the most, and the Yongjun Army also wanted to pay back, but every time they wanted to steal camps, it was either an ambush or In a heavy siege, it simply guarded the camp and placed a heavy guard on the position close to the outside. I was unhappy, and I thought, they were all stealing camps. Why did they succeed so easily, but we lost the soldiers and broke the generals. After asking the generals, we learned that the North Han Army is the best at using eagles and mastiffs. Eagles can march in the day. Check the enemy’s situation, but the mastiff can watch at night. It is said that if our army is within ten miles of the enemy camp, it will be difficult to avoid the mastiff’s nose. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I was. I simply ordered not to go to war today, and ordered that the outside of the camp should be dug into criss-cross trenches as deep as three hundred steps, so that the North Han army could not approach the camp at all, and then batted at every place. The location of the door leaves a good way out, so that our army can go in and out freely, and the enemy can’t come and attack casually.

Xuan Song stood behind me, looking at the hot “construction site”, hesitatingly asked: “If the North Han army will seal the way out, what should we do?”

I laughed and said: “What does it have to do? First, our army has heavy cavalry. If the North Han army is willing to use light cavalry to confront us, I can’t ask for it. Second, I will prepare when the army digs trenches. Many planks are used. If the road is blocked, you only need to pave the planks into a passage. Moreover, there are half of the infantry in our army. For them, this kind of terrain is more advantageous.”

Xuan Song nodded and said yes. In fact, such a method is not uncommon. It’s just that Da Yong and Bei Han are both cavalry as the main force, and they are both eager to win. They like to win by courage and use offense instead of defense. Defensively, it was a bit slack, and the North Han Army was erratic, and even the Great Yong Army could not hold on to one place, and restricted the enemy’s cavalry, inevitably restricting its own attack route, so I did not expect such painstaking efforts to dig trenches. . But for me who wants to defend myself, this can ensure safety. Besides, I don’t believe that Long Tingfei dared to leave us to attack other places this time. The defensive system carefully built by King Qi in recent years can be There are not so many flaws to use. And in this way, at least no one will disturb my lucid dreams anymore. It doesn’t matter if you really need to leave the camp. With so many sergeants, it is good to let them move their muscles and bones. .

We are busy here, Xiao Shunzi suddenly walked up to me and said in a low voice: “My son, someone is watching the camp in the distance, he is a master.”

After I listened, I turned around and joked with Xuan Song and the others, and made a gesture and gave an order. After a while, Qiao Zu, who was wearing the King Qi’s golden armor, walked out of the big tent. Nodded in satisfaction, after walking to my side, deliberately chatted with me for a few words, and then the two of us returned to the big account together. After the money was paid, I quickly asked Xiao Shunzi: “Who is watching the camp, can you see clearly?”

Xiao Shunzi said: “It’s very far away, the subordinates did not see clearly, but the martial arts of the person here is very high, it seems that he is a good hand in the spy of the Northern Han army.”

I don’t care, just a few spies, just to see why we didn’t play today, it’s a better choice to let them go back. However, I thought about it again. There is a plan that is most suitable for use now, and will not arouse Beihan’s suspicion, so I said: “Qiaozu, His Royal Highness King Qi once permitted me to use the dead man camp, you go find a suitable person, Martial arts should be more powerful, and I will use him to do things.”

Qiao Zu had been ordered by King Qi a long time ago, so naturally he would not ask more. He ordered a few guards. Not long after, a few guards brought a sergeant in. I looked carefully and found that this person is also in appearance. Sturdy, calm, but unfortunately he is a dead man. The dead soldiers’ camps in the Qi army were composed of criminal sergeants, and there were also some prisoners who were already in the army. The king of Qi incorporated them into dead soldiers’ camps and let them perform some nine-dead missions. Those who have made great contributions can be exempted from capital crimes. , You can even resume military service. Most of these people are fierce and instinct, have high martial arts skills, and have committed capital crimes. In order to survive and perform tasks, they are very diligent, and only such talents are suitable for me.

I looked at the sergeant for a long time before saying: “This prison army has something for you to do. This is very dangerous. If you can successfully return, I will report to your Highness Ming to save your death and restore Your military position, if you die, you can also be included in the list of deaths, and your family members can also get pensions. I wonder if you have the courage to do it?”

The sergeant bowed down and said: “The villain knows that he has committed a death crime, and he is graced by His Highness. He is allowed to commit his crimes. He does not dare to evade, but he has a task. Please give instructions.”

I handed him a letter that I had just written in a hurry, and said: “You send this letter to General Jingchi, Miaopo Daying, and he will understand after reading the letter. Remember, the letter is in People are here, believe in the dead, I heard that you used to be a Jianghu person, martial arts are above the first class, but you have to work hard, if you lose the letter, there will be any consequences. I don’t need to say more about the supervising army.” /

The sergeant took the letter. He is not a stupid person. If he knows that this matter is easy, he would not deliberately elect himself from the dead soldier camp. He is already one of the best in the camp, since he was deliberately chosen. With him, it must be an important task in a lifetime of nine deaths. He kowtowed another head and said: “There are only mothers and younger brothers in the little man’s house, and I also ask adults to take care of them.” This is a tradition in the military. If you perform a mission that is almost mortal, you will give your last words before you go.

I looked at him a little bit unbearably, and said: “Don’t worry, your mother and brother are supported by the court.”

Seeing this sergeant, I will leave the account. I sighed in my heart, almost whispering: “You just have to let the letter fall into the hands of the North Han spy.” I said in a low voice. The sergeant had gone far away and should be inaudible, but when I saw his body paused, it seemed that I heard what I was saying, but didn’t look back, but accelerated his pace.

Looking at his back, I said lightly to Xiao Shunzi: “This man has a strong temperament and is quite smart. When I say this, he definitely understands that he needs to sacrifice his life to better complete the task. After all, if he escaped, the credibility of that letter would be a bit worse. When I say this, he will be grateful in his heart. If he could have escaped, I am afraid I would be willing to die. If I am too cruel, I must be forced He is going to die.”

Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: “Isn’t this the meaning of the existence of the death camp? If he makes a great contribution, the son can report to His Royal Highness and give more compassion to his family. Presumably this is more deadly than him. It’s much better to live with humiliation.”

I smiled coldly, and said: “The cruel heart must continue to be cruel. Although this man is a man, I am still worried that he will be imminent, greedy for life and fear of death. You follow him and take a look. If you want to steal a life, you can give him a ride. But don’t show your signs. With your martial arts, unless the demon sect comes in person, there will be no problems if you think about it?”

Xiao Shunzi nodded lightly and said: “You need to be careful in your safety.”

I laughed and said: “If these thousands of soldiers can’t save my life, it will be useless even if you are there.”

Xiao Shunzi smiled and said, “That’s not good. If I were an assassin, I would be a great army, and I could get the head of the son.”

I couldn’t help but touch my neck, and I felt as if a chill passed by. Knowing that this kid didn’t irritate me and said he was useless, he came to scare me on purpose.

At this time~IndoMTL.com~A few miles away, the eagle eyes stared at Xiao Tong in the Dayong Army Camp, and his heart went back and forth. He visited the camp today, and he came here in person because the first battle had ordered the North Han Dynasty. The generals had doubts in their hearts. Although the Yongjun Army was still very tough and good at fighting, it seemed to have changed a commander. When Qi Wang Li Xian went into battle, he often took the lead, and his fighting style was strong. Quite the true meaning of the word “stable”. If you have any doubts in your mind, you need to investigate carefully, so Xiao Tong is the scout himself. However, seeing the Da Yong army digging trenches outside the camp, Xiao Tong also believed in the conjecture that everyone had discussed yesterday. Jiang Zhe must have made plans for Li Xian. If Li Xian were to come up with such a tired way of. And Xiao Tong never believed in his heart that King Qi Li Xian dared to leave Long Tingfei alone and was not in command of the Chinese army. However, judging from yesterday’s use of troops, Jiang Zhe was good, but he was not an outstanding wizard. Although the marching operations were extremely organized, he did not see any peculiarities at all. It’s no wonder that Jiang Zhe is just a strategist despite his fame, and this leadership is not necessarily his strong point. As a result, Xiao Tong would not believe that King Qi dared to leave the barracks. After watching for a while, Xiao Tong was about to withdraw. At this time, Xiao Tong suddenly saw the solo riding out of the camp gate of the Yongjun camp and rushing to the south. Xiao Tong’s heart moved. At this time, this direction must be passed by the King of Qi to the baggage behind. At Daying, Tan Ji is looking at Miaopo. If he gets any information, he will definitely help, but there is no help. It is also a good thing to break the communication between the enemy and the rear. Although it is not convenient to use a large number of scouts, it is the Demon Sect. The disciple is the best at fighting, so dealing with a messenger naturally doesn’t require much effort. Thinking of this, Xiao Tong let go of a black eagle next to him. The black eagle hovered and flew to the south, taking instructions to intercept and kill.
