Yang Xuan is inspecting the iron mine and learning about the key points of mining ore.
"Four to fifty thousand!"
Wang Laoer said with a smile.
This heartless person... Even if a hundred thousand enemy troops come, I guess he will still look like this.
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
Qin Yuan's cheek twitched, "Tuyan is out in force. The last time he did this was because his brother died in battle, so he raised a large army to besiege Jianling City. When the siege was lifted, everyone in the city lost weight."
The sergeant under his command praised: "The envoy has long expected this day, so he has prepared food and grass early. He only needs to guard the mountain road, and Tu Yan can only look forward to it and sigh."
Yang Xuan turned around.
"Attack!"
This is the opportunity that Yang Xuan has been waiting for for a long time.
Qin Yuan followed him closely, "Your Majesty, why don't you hold on first?"
Forty to fifty thousand people, it’s a huge area of darkness!
Yang Xuan said: "What are you holding on to?"
Qin Yuan refused to give up, "How about sending someone to Jianling to ask for help? I am willing to go!"
"No need."
Chen Zhoujun walked out of the pass in silence and slowly descended the mountain.
Qin Yuan turned around and looked for his two sergeants.
"You two go to Jianling quickly and report the attack by Tu Yan's army."
The two left quietly.
Not long after leaving, Qin Yuan heard muffled thunder in the distance.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Woohoo!
The horn of the bull horn blows.
"Enemy found!"
The sergeant on the lookout screamed, "About...50,000."
"Array up!"
Yang Xuan rode his horse to the front.
The sound of footsteps shook the ground, and from time to time the roar of bandits could be heard.
The mountain wind howled from above, like a ghost shouting.
There were gradually more dark clouds in the sky.
"If it rains, it will be freezing!" Yang Xuan couldn't help but think of his wife at home.
I wonder how her medicinal field is doing with this weather.
Han Jice immediately stepped forward and said, "Lang Jun, the enemy's force is strong. Be careful and charge straight into the formation."
"Won't."
Yang Xuan is very confident.
"Tuyan may dare to others, but he doesn't dare to me!"
Two miles away, the bandits stopped.
Han Ji glanced at Yang Xuan.
"The enemy seems to be very confident!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
On the opposite side, more than a dozen burly bandits stepped out of the array and were showing off their power.
"The Tang army is less than five thousand!" Tu Yan said with a smile: "Tell the warriors that there are countless grains, countless horses and weapons on the opposite side. Whoever grabs it, I will only take 50% of it, and the rest will be theirs!"
The order was met with cheers.
"I saw Yang Gou, he is very young!" Tu Yan pointed to the banner with the word "Yang", "In the past, when the army came out, Sun Ying would huddle in the city.
Today was a rare good opportunity to defeat them, and then, relying on their morale, they destroyed Mengju in one go.
Gather the army again and destroy Fengzhou, and I will be proclaimed emperor!"
A long time ago, someone once unified the mountain bandits and gathered a large army to run rampant. Even the Tang army in Fengzhou had to retreat.
But later on, that man became old and confused, and his subordinates fell into pieces. It was not until more than ten years ago that Tuyan and Mengju were reunited into two groups.
Tuyan has always had the ambition to unify the bandits again. "Why was there civil strife back then? It was because he didn't proclaim himself emperor. If he were proclaimed emperor, each of his subordinates would be appointed as generals and each would be responsible for his own affairs. How could there be civil strife?"
"Yes!" The elder is also a supporter of this plan. "For a long time, the king has been looking for opportunities. Today, the opportunity has come."
Someone exclaimed, "So the king is not just attacking for food?"
Tuyan said calmly: "There is a shortage of food, so the old and the weak will take the initiative to go into the mountains and give it to the beasts to make delicious food.
The animals eat them to nourish themselves and grow meat, and they will become our food next year.
And the family will consume less food. In this way, lack of food is not a problem.
My goal has never been food, but... unification!"
He raised his hand.
The subordinates held their heads high.
"Attack!"
Twenty thousand bandits rushed out.
"While waiting for the Tang army to support itself, attack from the right."
"Take orders!"
Tu Yan laughed and said: "Does Yang Gou think that this king will send out all his subordinates at once? That is a chaotic war."
He had read The Art of War and studied it carefully.
Moreover, he continued to hone his skills while fighting with Fengzhou and Mengju, and now, he has achieved success.
"Long live the king!" someone cheered.
The crossbows of the Tang army on the opposite side began to fire.
Amid the miserable howls, a void appeared, which was quickly filled by the following bandits.
"The morale of the warriors is high!" Tu Yan said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you have trained well." The elder looked at his king with admiration.
In the past few years, Tuyan has been expanding its strength. While fighting Fengzhou, controlling the mines, and exchanging food and weapons with Beiliao, Tuyan has also been friction with the Mongolian Ju tribe to continuously expand its territory.
His prestige is also getting higher and higher in the process.
Ambition could not be suppressed, from being king and hegemon to being emperor.
"Go up!"
The bandits ran into the Tang army's formation.
Suddenly it fell down.
"The spears of the Tang army are very sharp!" the elder said.
On the opposite side, Yang Xuan also praised: "These bandits are indeed good hunters in Wuthering Mountains. If they can train well, they will be elites."
"So, after this battle, can the prisoners be reorganized?" Jiang He'er organized documents for Yang Xuan and saw a lot about Chen Zhoujun.
Yang Xuan shook his head.
"Why?"
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"
Jiang Heer pursed his lips, "I'm from a foreign race too!"
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty established by people from the Central Plains. Hundreds of years ago, your ancestors were also from the Chen Kingdom!"
"Oh!" Jiang He'er felt inexplicably happy and looked at Yang Xuan's side face, "It looks so fierce!"
"So vicious?" Yang Xuan thought she was talking about bandits, "It's just a little bit of anger, it won't last long."
I'm talking about you... Jiang He'er looked forward and saw the bandit rushing forward fiercely, grinning like an animal. He couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Lang, you are so fierce!"
"Blocked." Han Ji said.
"If you can't even stop the bandits, how can you resist the Tanzhou Northern Liao Army?"
Yang Xuan said calmly.
"Then, do you want to fight back?" The old thief asked for instructions.
Han Ji looked at the old thief and thought to himself that this guy had given advice many times. Did he regard himself as Lang Jun's lieutenant?
These people around Yang Xuan gradually have their own goals, that is, pursuits.
The old thief was obsessed with fame and fortune, and wanted to learn the art of war.
Cao Ying went to work for political affairs. He had outstanding political management skills and was the oldest, so even Han Ji did not touch that mess.
It is said that Yi Niang said the same thing in the inner court.
Tu Shang... Han Ji took a look and saw that the old man was tugging on Wang Lao Er's clothes, like a grandfather worried about his grandson getting into trouble impulsively.
Wang Laoer...Han Ji looked at him with some envy.
He is straightforward but not stupid. The key is that Wang Laoer has no ambitions and can just muddle along. This is the favorite temperament of the superior.
——What I give you is yours. If I don’t give it to you, you can’t fight for it, let alone seize it!
I am actually a little envious of this person, he is really depraved!
Lin Feibao was a person Han Ji couldn't see through. It was said that Lang Jun picked up dozens of pot-bellied men on the way, defeated his original boss, and rescued Lang Jun on his way to find a new boss.
But with Lin Feibao's cultivation, let alone a pot-bellied man, Han Ji was sure that even if he was the rumored glutton, there would still be people willing to support him.
Moreover, Lang Jun trusted these dozens of people very much. When camping, these people must guard his tent.
This is a trust that can depend on life and death!
"The enemy is crazy." someone shouted.
The bandits in front were shouting crazily and charging forward without fear of life or death.
"Breakthrough!"
Not only Han Ji saw it, but Tu Yan also saw it, "Attack from the right!"
Ten thousand bandits rushed towards us.
"Don't block it!" Yang Xuan's order made Qin Yuan startled.
As a result, a groove appeared in the Tang army's array.
The Tang troops on both sides could only deal with it sideways.
For a moment, the entire array seemed a little awkward.
"There's danger!"
Qin Yuan was a little nervous, holding the handle of the knife and said: "I'm asking you to fight!"
He followed with more than a hundred Fengzhou troops. If he joined, he would be a force that should not be underestimated.
"No!"
Yang Xuan nodded and expressed his gratitude.
"Left road!" Han Ji said.
The enemy was approached on the left.
The Tang army on the left was small in number and became extremely fierce as soon as they encountered the enemy.
What remained were two thousand cavalry.
"Can he move the cavalry?" Tu Yan stared at the two thousand cavalry, "Tell the warriors that 60% of the harvest from this battle belongs to them!"
Dozens of riders rushed out and brought the king's latest military order to the bandits in front.
"Sixty percent of the harvest from this battle belongs to you!"
"Long live!"
Suddenly, the bandits burst out with astonishing fighting power, and a gap appeared in front of them again.
"Okay!" Tuyan said with a smile: "I will see if Yang Gou blocks it or not! If it blocks it, your cavalry will be entangled and it will be difficult to counterattack.
If you don’t bet, I will see how long you can hold on!"
The elder said: "Be careful of his cavalry attacking from the flank."
"Yang Gou relies on cavalry, and I know that. But my elite troops have not moved!"
Those 20,000 people are his elite.
On the opposite side, Yang Xuan ordered: "Get ready."
The cavalry behind them began to mount their horses.
"Yang Gou is about to move!" Tu Yan shouted: "Get ready to attack!"
This is the Chenzhou Cavalry that Yang Gou is famous for!
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and on the opposite side, the bandits who were attacking crazily also slowed down their attack for a moment.
Everyone is looking at Yang Xuan under the banner.
Yang Xuan nodded, "Attack!"
Two thousand cavalry rushed out from the flank.
"careful!"
The bandit generals were shouting, ordering their flanks to prepare for the attack.
"Attack!" Tuyan sneered: "I have been waiting for this moment!"
Twenty thousand elites rushed out with wild shouts.
"Kill Yang Gou!"
The shouts were deafening.
Jiang Heer was shocked, "Is this a war?"
She glanced at Yang Xuan. Looking from the side, the sculpture-like lines made her heart skip a beat.
Isn't he afraid at all?
"Where are we going?" someone exclaimed.
Only then did Jiang Heer wake up. He covered his hot face and whispered, "It's so embarrassing!"
Qin Yuan was dumbfounded, "Isn't this... this is to block the mouth?"
Two thousand cavalrymen rushed over from the flank of the bandits and dispersed hundreds of people. Just as the bandits were waiting, the two thousand cavalrymen went straight away.
What's ahead?
Everyone slowly looked around.
Twenty thousand bandits are rushing towards us!
Qin Yuan was shocked, "You have never thought about closing the gap?"
Ahead, Nan He roared, "Counterattack!"
The sergeants who followed rushed forward and stabbed down the bandits who broke in row by row.
gap!
Evened!
Nan He turned around and shouted loudly: "Lang Jun!"
Yang Xuan raised his hand and waved it forward.
"Assault!" Nan He roared!
"assault!"
"All troops attack!"
Ahead, the Tang army began to cheer.
Then, the bandits felt a completely different army.
An overwhelming momentum swept over.
More than a dozen big men carrying iron rods knocked down the dozens of brave bandits in the front row, and then rushed in.
The Tang army behind them formed a neat formation and followed closely.
In an instant, the situation of the battle was reversed!
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Chickens and dogs are vulnerable."
The old thief looked at Yang Xuan with a manual and a charcoal pen in his hand, "What kind of military art is this, Mr. Lang?"
"Show the enemy weakness." Yang Xuan said.
The old thief recorded: "In the eighth year of the Great Qian Dynasty... Lang Jun led an army of five thousand to meet the enemy... to show the enemy that he was weak."
He looked up.
Yang Xuan said: "If the bandits show their weakness soon after the war begins, what will happen to Tuyan?"
The old thief's eyes lit up, "He can withdraw his troops and run away!"
Qin Yuan felt clear in his mind, "So I asked you to show your weakness to the enemy, so that Tu Yan thought there was an opportunity. Even if there was a gap, he would not close it, just to make Tu Yan believe it."
Then it seemed that he had no choice but to send out cavalry. Tu Yan was so proud that he also sent out the last elite.
But the cavalry did not seal the opening, but attacked his elite troops. All this is to retain Tuyan's elite troops!"
Such art of war!
He has calculated all people’s hearts thoroughly!
Moreover, the ideas have been laid out for you. You only need to look at this idea to think and explore, and you will naturally achieve great achievements in the future.
Plop!
Yang Xuan was watching the cavalry drive away the bandits. When he heard the sound and looked back, it was Qin Yuan who knelt down towards him.
"You..."
Qin Yuan had tears in his eyes, "I will not be so vulgar as to teach you such exquisite military skills... I dare not shamelessly call you my mentor. Everything I have accomplished since then is all because of my teachings."
"Don't……"
Before Yang Xuan could stop him, Qin Yuan had already kowtowed.
In this era, kowtow is the most important gift.
Even for parents, there is no need to do this ritual.
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "No need for this!"
There are countless scrolls of this kind of military art.
He just said it casually, but he didn't know how precious this kind of military art is to the warriors at this moment.
It is not an exaggeration to pass on a son or a daughter.
No wonder the old thief followed Yang Xuan with a pamphlet to record it, and no wonder Tu Shang always beat Wang Laoer because he hated iron.
Why are they?
Everyone understands.
Han Ji said softly: "Mr. Lang is a great talent!"
"Caught the picture salt!"
From ahead, cheers came.
Yang Xuan smiled and asked: "Which warrior caught it?"
The sergeant who came to report the news said: "It's the second brother!"
"Second child?"
Wang Laoer came back with the picture salt, threw it on the ground and prepared to run away.
"Second brother!" Yang Xuan stopped him, "This credit is enough."
Wang Laoer said: "I'm going to pick up Tu Gong!"
Yang Xuan smiled and looked at the picture salt on the ground, "How are you, Your Majesty?"
Han Ji said: "It is said that this person is not afraid of death."
"Oh! That's easy." Yang Xuan drew his sword, "The higher the status, the harder it is to kill people. Today can be considered a shame."
The picture salt on the ground suddenly jumped up.
"Langjun, be careful!"
"Please be careful!"
Qin Yuan suddenly rushed in front of Yang Xuan, preparing to use his body to block possible assassination.
Tu Yan knelt on the ground.
Kowtow.
"The villain does not know the destiny of heaven and tries to resist the heavenly soldiers. He deserves death!"
