As soon as the hour arrived, everyone in the army began to move in an orderly manner.
Generally speaking, if there is no urgent march, most military commanders will arrange to assemble at the fifth watch. The reason why Qi Yu does this naturally has his own ideas.
At this time, Qi Dalang could be described as heroic and heroic.
Look, he is wearing light armor and has a sword hanging from his waist. He is mighty but also reveals a bit of elegance. He seems to have the legacy of Zhou Lang.
It's a pity that he is now a little dark and thin, and has lost his past delicacy, which makes him look a little imperfect.
Since you are going to go into battle, you have to wear a decent outfit, right?
Haha, not bad, very pretty.
Qi Dalang held up his helmet coquettishly, straightened his armor, and then walked out of the tent with bold steps.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies have already been assembled and are all on standby, waiting for the commander-in-chief's next dispatch.
"See the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Excuse me!"
"..."
Then, on a simple temporary stage, Qi Yu stood there upright.
Under the stage, the troops were divided into two columns. On one side was the Fuso Army led by Gao Zhongde, and on the other side was the Fuso Army led by Halidu.
Qi Yu said loudly: "Master Ha!"
Um?
Harry was stunned and immediately responded: "I'm here, what's the matter? You tell me!"
"Lead your men and take advantage of the dim night to sneak deep into the mountains and lurk in the rear of the banquet bandit army, waiting for work! After daybreak, if you see any fleeing bandits passing by here, kill them immediately without mercy.
." After a pause, Qi Yu looked at his pocket watch again and added: "There is still plenty of time now, you don't have to worry about not being able to reach the enemy's rear."
As soon as they heard this arrangement, everyone suddenly realized that the reason Master Qi had gathered at midnight was because he had another good plan.
Harry listened and pondered, and asked, "Master Qi, aren't you deliberately trying every possible means to recruit and surrender the rebel bandits? Why did it become a shoot-to-kill situation again?"
Qi Yu smiled faintly and explained to him: "Let's put it this way, as long as those who fled to the mountains had no intention of surrendering to our army, since these were stubborn people, there would be no survivors.
It makes sense.”
"Okay then! I'll listen to you and lead everyone out now." Although Harry didn't quite understand what he heard, he didn't ask any more questions.
Qi Yu cupped his hands and said seriously: "Then please, Brother Ha, without my order, you must not return privately, so as not to mess up the overall plan."
"Uh... okay then."
"..."
After Harry's Fuso Army set out, Qi Yu began to continuously deploy troops and generals.
He ordered the government troops to bring gongs, drums and suonas, and to play more blows and beats along the way, and to make as much noise as possible until they were close to the front of the opponent's formation.
The intention of doing this is very obvious, which is to attract Na Yan's attention and create favorable conditions for Harry's army to infiltrate.
After the generals were ordered, Gao Zhongde stepped forward and asked Qi Yu in a low voice: "Master Qi, why did you send the Japanese pirate troops to sneak into the mountains and forests, but didn't send me and other regular troops?"
"General Gao has overthought it. Let me explain. The Japanese pirates under Harry's command are all ronin. Because they have been wandering at sea all year round, they have developed strong adaptability to complex environments. I am also based on this consideration.
, that’s why we decided to appoint them.”
After a pause, Qi Yu said again: "Compared to the disorderly melee in the jungle, the regular army is more suitable for frontal attacks. Once it enters the dense jungle, it will be constrained by the complex environment and will not be able to fight as it should."
force."
In fact, there is another important point that he did not say clearly, that is, he does not feel bad if some Fusang Japanese pirates die, but if a Chinese soldier is killed in battle, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.
Based on the above considerations, it is better to leave the shopping to Harry and his party.
Gao Zhongde had suffered losses more than once in jungle warfare, so he had a deep understanding of it, so he strongly agreed with this statement, and the discomfort in his heart of being underestimated immediately became relieved.
But Huang Fei remained silent and did not interrupt from beginning to end. He was thinking about how to protect Master Qi's safety. For this reason, he also specially made some small hidden weapons in case of emergency.
…
I sleep in spring without waking up, and hear the singing of birds everywhere.
Before I knew it, the sky became brighter.
Qi Yu led the government troops and marched to the forefront of the battle in a mighty manner, and stopped ten miles away from Nayan Mountain Stronghold. This was because the enemy troops had already set up a defensive formation there.
The banquet was very smart. It was arranged in this way to prevent the opponent from attacking the city. The current formation can be advanced to attack, retreated or defended, leaving a way out.
Qi Yu was not surprised, he still looked like he was strategizing.
While the banquet was overjoyed, there was also confusion. It was a war, so why did they include gongs and drums?
Is this for cheering?
Never mind him, that's all right.
So far, I have been concentrating on exploring him for a long time, but I haven't found anything unusual.
Regarding this strange incident, the banquet passed by in a flash and did not dwell too much on it, because this kind of cheering was not of much help in today's duel.
In accordance with the agreement before the war, both sides retreated fifty feet and stood still, thinking that there would be room for a bloody battle between the generals.
The banquet took the lead and arrived at the venue first. He laughed unscrupulously and then waved to Mr. Qi to invite him.
Qi Yu still smiled calmly, and after calming down the restless Huang Fei, he followed closely.
During this process, some people started talking among themselves...
"Did you see that Mr. Qi didn't carry a spear, but only held a short sword at his waist? Could it be that he wanted to fight with swordsmanship? Oh, I almost forgot, there are rumors that literati are good at dancing swords, so that's why it's so
…”
"Huh?? What is Master Qi holding in his hand? How can he still swallow clouds and smoke?"
"..."
Yes, Qi Yu lit a homemade cigarette and smoked it leisurely while urging his horse forward slowly. And the banquet was stared at in a daze, not knowing why.
What's going on?
Weird!
Qi Yu blew out a smoke ring with great enjoyment, then smiled at the banquet and said, "Come on, let's start a fight!"
“Aren’t you going to say some last words??”
"Last words? Haha, no need. What's there to say to the dead?"
"You...are arrogant!"
Na Yan originally thought that after Qi Yu came to the front of the battle, he would crackle down some great truths, but unexpectedly, he was in a hurry to urge the battle.
"I said it all..."
"Noisy!" After Qi Yu glanced at the cigarette that was about to burn out between his fingers, he shouted impatiently and boldly: "If you want to fight, then fight! Why talk so much? Come on!"
These words... are absolutely domineering!
And, shocking!
"Since you are eager to seek death, I will send you on your way!"
Na Yan was completely angered. He picked up his spear and without thinking, spurred his horse and ran towards Qi Yu.
The distance is a bit close.
Closer!
…
Just when everyone was nervously on the verge of suffocation, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" sound. Immediately afterwards, the banquet fell off his horse and died suddenly on the spot.
Qi Yu's war horse was also frightened. It raised its front legs high in the air and roared loudly, showing a very majestic appearance.
However, Qi Dalang kept holding on to the reins tightly and did not dare to relax at all. With his increasingly proficient riding skills, he finally subdued the horse under his crotch in a moment.
This whole set of movements is done in one go without any gaps. It is awe-inspiring and domineering, full of the style of a general.
Even the enemy soldiers watching from a distance couldn't help but cheer secretly in their hearts.
The only thing I don't understand is, what was the cause of that loud noise just now?
Could it be that...Master Qi learned the mysterious witchcraft from Master Ha, and then suddenly used it in front of this formation?
Well, it should be!
Otherwise, it cannot be explained!
As for the real answer, there is no other answer, but the sneak attack from the matchlock gun sent by Leng Qing.
Because of its small size, the concealment of its movements, and the relatively far distance of the onlookers, it did not attract the attention of others.
As the name suggests, the matchlock gun can only be fired by lighting the fuse. If the fuse is used to ignite the fire, the concealment of the sneak attack will be lost. Therefore, Qi Yu switched to using cigarettes to ignite the fire to protect his body.
Safeguard and escort.
Of course, you can also use burning incense heads instead, but in that case, it would seem too rustic.
Yes, it took a lot of effort to show off one's power, how could one not feel a little superior?
