The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 22: Burning Fire City

Jing Chi, the Lord of the Kingdom of Yan, was born in a humble background. Taizong was brave and loyal. Every time Taizong led his army into the battle, Chi was protected by his life, and Taizong was so heavy.

Jing, a man of this kind, has little knowledge and no knowledge of writing and writing. Taizong's admonishment said: "You cannot be a general if you do not study." There is no war strategy, but the marching battle is a hidden strategy of war, Taizong is also helpless.

In the twenty-fourth year of Wuwei, Taizong and King King were eager to seize the concubines. They were late to Beijing and were recorded as disciples for King Sima Jiangzhe of Yongwang. He taught the art of war of classics and history by himself. He was slack in nature and had few gains. : "General Jing is a blessed general, and it's okay to have a brief strategy."

In March of the first year of Longsheng, he was ordered to attack Huguan for many days, and he was deceived and lured the enemy into attacking the camp. On the 24th, he broke the Huguan. Sheng. After that, he rushed to Qinyuan for a thousand miles, and if there were obstacles along the way, he would slaughter him, saying, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish." Wherever he went, blood flowed for thousands of miles, killing people in the wild. The people of the North Han Dynasty were brave and courageous, and they were also frightened by the ferociousness of Chi, and they did not dare to resist.

——"Yongshi Yanguo Official Biography"

Just when the dead soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty rushed to the Yongjun's big account, the lieutenant's heart suddenly stunned. In the chaos, the Yongjun camp was full of fire and fleeing figures, but the Chinese army in front of him The big tent was silent, and the lieutenant suddenly said loudly: "Retreat, retreat, and ambush." ​​The soldiers under his command all looked blank and focused on him. The lieutenant and the horse were about to retreat, but it seemed to echo his call. The sound was normal, and the surroundings suddenly remembered the endless sound of horns and war drums, and then it suddenly brightened up, and countless Yongjun cavalry with torches in their hands shouted around the camp, the flames of the Yongjun camp shone like It was like the day, but the fire in the original Da Yong army camp was gradually weakening, and the endless stream of Yong army soldiers seemed to suddenly appear from the dark night, surrounding themselves and others in groups. The lieutenant was miserable, and his eyes searched in the Yong army, hoping to see the principal who set this ambush.

At this moment, the Yong army was separated, and a team of knights in blue and black robes rushed forward. The headed man had a leopard head and eyes, and his beard was like steel, and his appearance was rough. It was Jing Chi. Next to him is Lin Ya, the commander of Zhenzhou Army. Jing Chi laughed loudly and said: "Haha, you kid fell into the plan of this general, don't hurry to surrender, this general also has some skills in you, and he can spare you a death."

There was a wave of despair in the general's heart. Originally, he thought it might be Lin Ya who saw that the Northern Han army might attack the camp, so he set up an ambush. He didn't expect that it was Jing Chi who cheated and lured the enemy. Yongming, but never heard that he has such an ability, he said in an indignant manner: "Jing Chi, you weren't hurt, did you have the intention to induce me to wait for the attack?"

Jing Chice immediately went forward and sneered: "I don't have that much heart. To be honest, your arrow was ruthless, and I was not prepared. Fortunately, I was good at martial arts, and that arrow had no stamina. So Lao Tzu’s dodge in time was just a slight injury. Lao Tzu didn’t care at all. It was because of your bad luck. Lao Tzu immediately thought that he could lure you out of the city with an arrow, saving you from learning tortoise **** and killing you. Willing to get out of the shell."

The lieutenant was furious, and said loudly: "I wait for the North Han man, standing upright, how can I bend my knees to others, I wait for the attack this time, I have a mortal heart, brothers, kill!" Take the lead and rush towards the Da Yong camp. This kind of small scene naturally didn't need Jing Chi's hands. The horns of the Yong army were piled up, and the North Han army merged into the sea like water droplets, failing to make bigger waves.

Under the light of the fire, Jing Chi's face was full of murderous and hideous, he shouted: "These Northern Han people, really do not die, no matter, I am not a vegetarian, I want to see if Your bones are hard, or my knife is hard. Kill them all for me. Collect all the heads and place them in front of the pot. I want to see when the pot can be kept?” Lin Ya heard from the side. , Hesitatingly said: "General Jing, this is not good, just fighting on the battlefield, the general's doing so is afraid that it will arouse the resistance of the North Han people."

Jing Chi said angrily: "Could it be that Lao Tzu's method is merciful, so they won't resist? A pot pass is attacked at these times, but Lao Tzu wants to meet with His Royal Highness Qi Wang, if the Northern Han army is like this Lao Tzu entangled, if I missed the military plane, I should reason with whom. If I was hit with dozens of military sticks, it would be fine. If I was punished by my husband to copy books, I would be miserable. Besides, if I really missed a major event, I'm afraid I just want to copy the book and I don’t have a chance. When my head is cut off, will these North Han **** shed tears for Lao Tzu? Listen to Lao Tzu, they will attack the city overnight for a while. If the Huguan can’t be attacked tomorrow, Lao Tzu will go all out. After breaking through the Huguan, I will slaughter the city to Lao Tzu, and the emperor will be blamed in the future, and Lao Tzu will bear it alone."

Seeing him so fierce and wicked, Lin Ya had no choice but to say so. At this moment, all the dead soldiers of the Northern Han Army who sneaked into the Yongjun camp were wiped out, and all the soldiers under Jing Chi followed him from the sea of ​​blood. Those who were killed, each heart as a rock, in accordance with Jing Chi's order, without any compromise, chopped off the heads of all the North Han troops and tied them to the horses. Jing Chi urged Lin Ya to give the order to tackle the key problem. Lin Ya also knew that when the pot was weak, he also obeyed his orders. Tens of thousands of Yongjun forced the torch to light up the pot. Jing The generals of Chi's subordinates threw the head of the Northern Han Army into a hill, and Jing Chi rode a horse to scream at the gate, and the Yong army began to attack the city.

In the early morning of March 23rd, Liu Wanli stood above the city gate with a dull expression. In just one night, his hair and beard had turned into the color of Xueshuang. Last night the lieutenant went out to steal the camp, and he did not I was idle, making all the troops stand up, looking at the Yongjun camp above the Huguan, ready to respond. After the lieutenant was in the middle, Liu Wanli also saw the clues from a distance. After the scout who gave up his life to return to report the story, Liu Wanli felt as if he was immersed in cold water in winter, cold to the bone, but he could only rectify his army and wait. Yongjun tackled key problems.

Sure enough, the Yong army came to tackle the key quickly, perhaps too desperate, but Liu Wanli felt that he had never had an unprecedented peace in his heart, commanding thousands of remnants to defend the city, even if he saw the former fellow leader in the horseshoe of the Yong army. He turned into fleshy mud, his mind didn't shake in the slightest. Now the offensive of the Yong army is like a tiger, with unstoppable determination and never stop, and constantly tackling key problems day and night, while Liu Wanli is standing close, almost unable to enter, but he feels that his whole body is full of energy. The god-armed crossbow, which was hidden for a few days, consolidated the defense of Huguan. Fighting hard for many days and hatred like a sea, every North Han sergeant knew in his heart that once the Yong army broke the city, he would not be able to survive even if he surrendered, so he did not slack in the slightest. The Yong army suffered heavy losses, and only the massacre can dispel the grievances in their hearts. The outcome of this battle is life and death. Both sides are fighting desperately, and no one dares to relax a little.

No matter how strong the Huguan is, but after all, the force is insufficient, and the lieutenant died in a sneak attack, and the losses were all the elites of the North Han Army. So although there was a god-armed crossbow guarding the pass, by the evening of the 23rd, the Huguan was already shaky. . Liu Wanli stood at the gate, his shirt was stained red with blood, and he had deep regrets in his heart. The failure of the attack made Huguan fall at least three days earlier. At this moment, he regretted that he chose to attack the camp because of his selfishness. This three-day difference may change the entire Northern Han Dynasty battle. He naturally understood the threat that Jing Chi might bring from going deep into the hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty.

It was late at night, and the Yong army was attacking the city frantically and orderly. Liu Wanli almost instinctively commanded the soldiers under him, but after a day and night of guarding the city, the Huguan guards had reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted. Most of the god-armed crossbows have been destroyed. Tomorrow is when the barrier is broken. Liu Wanli already knows that just now, the young man who has helped defend the city completely collapsed, shouting that he is willing to surrender, and wants to open from the inside. At the gate of the city, Liu Wanli ordered the supervising team to shoot them all, but the military-civilian fighting spirit in Huguan was about to collapse, and Liu Wanli knew that there was no possibility of holding Huguan at all. His wife and only son flashed in his chaotic mind, and Liu Wanli only felt that endless exhaustion came to his heart.

On March 24th, when the morning sun rose, Lin Ya personally commanded an energetic Yong army to start the final attack. The Huguan defenders finally collapsed completely under the Yong army's day and night onslaught. His figure finally rushed to the **** Huguan tower. When the Yong army opened the gate from the inside, Jing Chi led a horse and rushed into the Huguan first. His guards followed his orders and shouted everywhere. "The Huguan Guardian is stubborn and has caused heavy losses to our army. General Jing has ordered to slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the city without error." This **** order made the soldiers of the Yong army who have been fighting for many days to vent their anger. On the way, in a scream of wail, blood is flowing in the streets and alleys, blood is flowing into a river.

When the Yong army was ascending to the city, Liu Wanli's heart was ashamed. He shouted orders to let the North Han army escape by itself, setting fire to stop the enemy along the way. He took a dozen of his guards to his mansion and broke down along the way. The North Han army set fire everywhere, and they all heard the Yong army’s order to kill the city, so they all tried to stop the enemy from setting fire to death. Even if they died, they couldn’t let Huguan fall into the hands of the enemy. The brutality of the army's hysteria finally destroyed this century-old danger.

However, Liu Wanli had no intention of caring about the consequences of his last order. He rode his horse back to the mansion, threw the reins to the guards, and rushed into his mansion. The family and maids were all running away, only himself. Standing in the hall with her beloved son in her arms, her wife looked miserable. When she saw Liu Wanli, she cried out in sorrow, but Liu Huai yelled in horror: "Daddy, a lot of blood."

Liu Wanli bowed his head indifferently, saw himself in a **** mess, smiled bitterly on his lips, and defended the few people around him: "You are all good brothers of Liu for many years. Now Liu has been defeated so far. Yan escapes, but there is still something to ask for, I don’t know if you agree."

The guards headed by those few guards are called Liu Jun. They are the servants who followed Liu Wanli since childhood. He bowed down and said, "Master, please give orders."

Liu Wanli pointed to Liu Huai and said, "I have only this bit of bone and blood for my half-life. You protect your wife and master to go to your uncle. Remember not to let this child take revenge for me in the future. I only hope that in the future the world will be unified, this child can guard the countryside, marry a wife and have children, and inherit cigarettes. Can you agree?"

When Liu Jun heard this, he drew his sword and cut off the little finger of his left hand and swore: "Master, don't worry, you will lose your life and protect your mistress and master to escape. If the subordinates are greedy for life and fear of death, let me be a pig in my next life. Being a dog will never be a human being."

Liu Wanli felt a pain in his heart and bowed and said: "As long as you do your best, it will be enough. If Huai'er is unfortunate in the end, he is destined to die in the chaos." How can Liu Jun and others dare to receive his gift? Quickly dodge to avoid. Liu Wanli looked at his wife again and said, "Madam, I am tired of your hard work for half a lifetime. You should follow Liu Jun and take good care of our children. Don't worry about me."

Ms. Liu's eyes flashed with glittering tears, and said: "Then general, you?"

Liu Wanli slumped down on a chair and said: "I was ordered by the king to guard the pot, and now the soldiers of the three armies are martyred and killed, what face do I have?"

Ms. Liu calmly stuffed Liu Huai into Liu Jun’s hand, then took out a dagger from her waist and held it against her heart. The guards exclaimed in shock, Liu Huai also cried loudly, Liu Wanli wanted to get up. He felt that his legs were weak. He had exhausted all his energy in the past two days. Once he sat down, he was unable to get up. He raised his hand to Madam Liu and asked in surprise, "Madam, what are you going to do?"

Ms. Liu said sadly: "Msang Gong, my concubine is not accustomed to riding and shooting. How can I break through with the guards? Instead of mother and son dying together, it is better to let Liu Jun protect Huai'er to escape and let my concubine stay with Ms. ."

Liu Wanli was embarrassed, knowing that his wife was right, he was also a decisive person, waved: "Liu Jun, take Huaier and go."

Liu Jun and a few of his guards were bursting into tears. They knelt down for two bows and tore off their shirts. Liu Jun tied Liu Huai in front of them and rushed out with a few guards. It was the deafening sound of screaming for killing and horseshoe treading on the ground, and Liu Jun's voices quickly disappeared into a chaotic sound. Liu Wanli only felt that his whole body was soft, lying on a chair, unable to speak a word, but Madam Liu was very calm, pulled down the curtain of the hall and gathered them together, sprinkled lamp oil, and handed Liu a torch. Wanli. Liu Wanli only felt that his heart was broken. He hugged his wife's body and said, "Madam, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Ms. Gong, the day you and my husband and wife got married, we had promised a white-headed alliance. Now the generals have white hair, and the concubines naturally have to keep their promises. You and I live and die together, general. You should be happy."

Liu Wanli screamed again, raised his hand and threw the torch onto the pile of ignition objects. The flame spread quickly, but Liu Wanli was unaware, just holding his wife in pain Howling, Madam Liu closed her eyes slightly, leaning on her husband's arms, and a happy smile appeared on her face. The flames reflected on her jade face, making her smile brighter. The flames were raging, and soon wrapped up the two figures, the raging tongues of fire lingered and merged with the flames from all over the pot, the whole pot turned into a sea of ​​fire, black smoke billowed, the flames glowed, and the pot closed on the fire. Trembling in collapse.

Jing Chi, who was forced to retreat from the sea of ​​fire, stared fiercely at the entire Huguan trapped in the sea of ​​flames, and felt more hatred in his heart. In Jiang Zhe’s plan, Huguan was a pass that needs to be guarded by the Yong army. The army couldn’t really cut off Jingchi’s supplies, but now the Huguan was destroyed by the fire, and there are many difficulties in trying to hold it here. Apart from the hatred in his heart, Jingchi made up his mind and must slay him along the way. , We must make the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Han Dynasty dare not resist this way again. Lin Ya had a bitter look. Although he was very dissatisfied with Jing Chi's decision, if it weren't for Jing Chi's unwillingness to surrender, the Northern Han Army would not have sworn to the death to resist, but no matter how the Huguan was broken, it was mostly Jing Chi. What can you do for your credit?

On March 29th, Qinyuan, in the Northern Han military commander's account, Long Tingfei was reading the military newspaper in his hand, his brows furrowed, although it had been predicted, the Northern Han Army could not stop Jing Chi's pace. , But such a heavy loss still shocked Long Tingfei.

On March 24th, Jing Chi attacked the party and slashed the party’s defenders. The Zhenzhou Army left one guard at Huguan, and the main force entered the Shangdang. Jing Chi's tribe overcame the party and did not enter. Along the way, resisters were massacred.

On March 26th, Jingchi passed Lucheng. He claimed that if he did not surrender, the city would be slaughtered after the city was broken. The defender of Lucheng surrendered. Jingchi passed through the city and went straight to Xiangyuan.

On March 27th, Jingchi burned Xiangyuan on fire, and Xiangyuan's guard was martyred. It is estimated that Jingchi can reach Qinyuan before the time of March 29, and the two Yongjun divisions will soon meet.

Only talk about a hundred words, but there are countless blood and pain, but Long Tingfei can only sit and watch Jing Chi in the southeastern hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty. He hides the pain in his heart and will soon be able to Jing Chi asked for compensation, and he secretly comforted himself. At this time, Duan Wudi came in and said: "General, King Qi is fighting in front of the battle."

Long Ting Feijun’s face flashed with murderous intent, and said: "Okay, this time he is seeking his own way of death. Invincible, the order is passed down, the whole army is ready to fight after my military parade."

Duan Wudi noticed the pride bursting out of Long Tingfei's body, and was also in agitated mood. Although Long Tingfei didn't tell him the detailed arrangement, he could hardly see the trace from Xiao Tong these days and Long Tingfei was paying attention every day. From the research on the map, it seems that Long Tingfei has a certainty of victory, and the decisive battle is right in front of him. Although Duan Wudi is also a bit dissatisfied that Long Tingfei has never explained the details to himself, he is completely gone for the upcoming decisive battle. Resentment, as long as the Yongjun can be defeated, no matter what sacrifice is worth.

Compared with Long Tingfei, Li Xian's control of the overall situation is not so accurate. He is not very clear about Jing Chi's movements, and he does not even know where Jing is late. After all, this is the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty. The late messenger couldn't break through the many barriers, so he just challenged it as usual.

In the field of Qinyuan, Li Xiangao is resting on the horse. Behind him, 40,000 Yongjun's banners are deployed behind him. Among the blue-black phalanx, the murderous intent is soaring, and the most dazzling is the three behind Li Xian. Thousand Iron Guards, they are all wearing red shirts. They are hunting and hunting in the spring breeze, making them arrogant and fearless like wildfires in spring, while the other Yongjun knights stand still like cast iron. Although it is a static battle formation, it contains two different auras, dynamic and static, no matter which one it is, there is irresistible power and domineering.

However, Li Xian, who was in front of the battlefield, was very depressed. Although he suffered defeat in Anze, he still had very strong troops. Forty thousand cavalry and nearly 40,000 infantrymen behind. Northern Han Dynasty Although the army is known as one hundred thousand iron cavalry, only 50,000 of them are elite soldiers. Most of the rest are the new army supplemented in the past six months. Both the force and training are not as good as the original Northern Han elite soldiers. It stands to reason that I have a strong army and Jing Chi's 30,000 cavalry. I don't know when they will arrive. If the two sides fight, at least I will not lose. But Jiang Zhe actually said to himself that he shouldn’t insist on being too persistent, and just retreat after the defeat. He will repair the road behind him, arrange the retreat, and let Xuansong lead the infantry to meet him. Is it sure he will fall Lost? It has been fighting for several days. When did the North Han army take advantage? Li Xian thought indignantly, just smash the North Han Army into the water. What is the goal to wipe out the enemy's main force? As long as the North Han Army is defeated again, will they still be able to turn the tide?

At this time, the North Han Army Camp suddenly started to move. It opened facing the south camp gate of the Yong Army. An iron cavalry dressed in a fiery red shirt rushed out of the camp gate. At the same time, the east and west sides The gate of the camp is also wide open, and the endless stream of Northern Han army knights gushes out like a tide. Unlike the Yong army, the Northern Han army does not line up when they leave the camp. It is turbulent like a pack of wolves, and like a pack of wolves, there is no order. But when they gathered in the open space, it was as if a river merged into the sea, and they soon gathered into a severe battle formation. But for a while, at least tens of thousands of the North Han Army had formed a battle formation, and there were countless brown knights who were forming a new battle formation afterwards.

Li Xian frowned immediately. Looking at the situation today, Long Tingfei wanted to fight a decisive battle with him. In these few days, the Northern Han Army had actually formed a local advantage. However, despite Li Xian's repeated provocations, Long Tingfei He just refused to fight a decisive battle with himself. Why did he change his mind today? Could it be that the military situation has undergone a major change? He beat the drum in his heart, and said in his heart, if it is really a decisive battle, our army may not be able to resist it, and that retreat is really useful, but Suiyun said that Long Tingfei will not easily use his full strength to fight against him?

At this time, from the battle of the Northern Han Dynasty, one person was slowly guarded by Shuqi personal guards. The man lifted his visor to reveal a handsome face. His dark blue eyes contained deep pain and anger. His face was a little haggard, only the look of the world remained as before, Long Tingfei gently stroked his beloved halberd, his heart was full of murderous intent, and the various humiliations over the past few months made him feel resentful. The four generals under his command now only have Duan Invincible. Former lieutenants and lieutenants in the army were all agreeable to him, but since the death of Quartz, he can always feel the increasing dissatisfaction in the army, but he can only temporarily suppress it with force. A few days ago, the Yong Army was flooded in Anze Shui, although the price paid was not small, but after all, the results were amazing, and the confidence of the lieutenants in themselves was restored. All this is because of that Jiang Zhe and Li Xian in front of him. In any case, all the difficulties of the past will pass~IndoMTL.com~ As long as you defeat the Yongjun today, you can restore the overall situation, and then you will have the opportunity to reorganize. The army is out.

Looking at the figure of Jieyu holding a horse on the opposite side, flames flashed in Long Tingfei’s eyes. If he were not worried that King Qi would retreat to the mountain after losing to the enemy, he would cooperate with the infantry to block the Northern Han army, and then stand by for help. These tens of thousands of horses have never dared to culminate them with all their strength. Today, they can finally strangle all the enemy forces. At that time, the North Han Army can kill the incoming Yong Army one by one like wolves hunting. The Yong Army suffered a crushing defeat for several years. Within a few years, I am afraid that Dayong will be overwhelmed by himself. Raising the halberd in his hand, Long Tingfei shouted loudly: "Completely wipe out the Yong army, capture Li Xian alive!" The North Han army was shocked when he heard the words, and they all shouted loudly.

Li Xian’s temperament is like fire. When he heard Long Tingfei’s shout, he couldn’t help but feel angry. He pointed his horse at the North Han army and said with a smile: "Erlang, the North Han people call themselves heroes on weekdays, but Anze only dared to attack with trickery, and these days he was locked in the camp and dared not face the enemy. These cowards are actually going to wipe out our army. Are you credible?"

Tao Lin, one of the four guards around Li Xian, was the most humorous, and he responded loudly: "His Royal Highness, General Long is not ashamed, why are you angry? Wait until we capture General Long, how about letting him serve the palace? ?"

Yong Jun laughed loudly, but the North Han Army shouted and cursed. On the contrary, Li Xian and Long Tingfei just looked at each other coldly. The general's calmness gradually infected the soldiers of the two armies, unknowingly. , The battlefield returned to silence, and the murderous silence became more depressing and solemn, and everyone felt a sense of breathlessness. Then, as if they had a heart, Long Tingfei and Li Xian issued orders almost at the same time. The turquoise and brown torrents surged almost at the same time, and then collided together, and the decisive battle between the Yong Army and the North Han Army began.
