On the hillside, Qin Huaidao was overjoyed after hearing the scout's report and asked excitedly.
"You can't be wrong. Commander Xue and his subordinates know each other. There is also General Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chuliang. He is bringing people over and will be there soon." The scout said quickly, with a confident look on his face.
"That's great. Brother Xue and the others are fine." Qin Huaidao said excitedly. Xue Rengui and others were chasing him here to save He'er. If something happened, his conscience would be uneasy for the rest of his life.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dense sound of horse hooves in the distance, like thunder rolling from the sky.
"This is?"
Qin Huaidao turned his head and looked, and saw a huge cavalry roaring towards them. Thousands of horses were galloping, dust was flying, and the momentum was menacing. He was suddenly startled. Could it be that the enemy was attacking? But the direction was wrong.
"Young Master, they are here." the scout said excitedly.
"Brother Xue and the others are here?" Qin Huaidao looked puzzled. Didn't he just recruit a thousand people from Chashan and three hundred people from the governments of various countries? There must be tens of thousands of people with this momentum.
"It's them!" the scout confirmed.
Qin Huaidao realized that Xue Rengui must have used some method to increase his strength. He was overjoyed and said excitedly: "You guys wait, I'll go greet you."
"Let's go together." Seeing that Qin Huaidao valued Xue Rengui so much, everyone did not dare to neglect and hurried to follow.
Soon, the army rushed over and slowly stopped. Xue Rengui and Cheng Chubi excitedly rode forward and shouted from a distance: "Young Master, is it really you? Great, I knew it.
you will come."
The voice was extremely excited, filled with joy and a bit of guilt.
Before he could rush forward, Xue Rengui dismounted and hurried forward.
Qin Huaidao also rushed forward excitedly. Seeing Xue Rengui about to salute, he rushed forward and gave him a bear hug, and said excitedly: "Brother Xue, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work, it should be. I just couldn't rescue Mrs. He'er. I'm sorry, young master."
"Don't say that, you've already done a good job."
The two of them separated. Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Rengui. He had lost a lot of weight and his eyes were sunken. He looked like he was nutritionally unbalanced and had not had a good rest. It was obvious that these days were difficult. He stepped forward and gave Cheng Chubi a bear hug and said solemnly: "
Brother, I never say thank you for your kindness, I will remember it in my heart."
"Don't say that, it's just an outsider, isn't it?" Cheng Chubi was a little moved, feeling that everything was worth it.
The two hugged each other tightly and separated after a while.
Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chubi. He had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were bloodshot, but his gaze was stronger and more steady than before. It seemed that he had grown a lot during this period. He smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, let's go see you."
Two brothers."
Cheng Chubi nodded and hurried forward. The three brothers met each other and said endless farewell words.
Qin Huaidao glanced at the army. The formations were strict and the momentum was extraordinary. The army was well managed and worthy of being a military god. He smiled with satisfaction: "Brother Xue, why are you here?"
"Two hours ago, the scouts discovered your whereabouts. I thought it was a bit strange, so I came up to check. I recognized you and immediately went back to lead the troops. Unfortunately, I was unable to rescue Mrs. He'er. I feel ashamed of my trust in the young master..."
"Don't say that. I don't blame you for this. Go and settle the troops and go over there to use explosives to form a dichotomy. Let's talk in detail when we come back." Qin Huaidao interrupted, pointing to another hillside.
Xue Rengui glanced at the hillside, nodded knowingly, and hurried away.
Everyone returned to the previous hillside, sat on the ground, and talked endlessly about brothers.
Not long after, Xue Rengui came back and told everyone about the various deeds of the rescue. When everyone heard that with more than 1,300 men, he had killed nearly 20,000 enemies in more than ten consecutive battles, they were secretly surprised and had a new understanding of Xue Rengui's ability.
, no wonder Qin Huaidao trusts him so much, he would never be able to do it himself.
With Cheng Chubi testifying, no one suspected that Xue Rengui was bragging.
But I heard that Xue Rengui kicked more than 20 small tribes for ten days and rescued more than 11,000 captive slaves. During the period, he used fighting as training, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people, and there were still more than 9,000 people left.
As you have just seen, the more than 9,000 people are as powerful as an elite division. Their ability to lead troops is staggering.
Lots of talk and lots of laughter.
Seeing that there was no movement in Qiemo City, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xue, our army has been here for a while, why do the defenders in Qiemo City not dare to attack?"
"They must be afraid of us." Cheng Chubi rushed to answer. Seeing everyone looking over curiously, he explained: "Brother Xue often uses tactics to lure the enemy. When the enemy comes out, he will turn around and run away, and then ambush him halfway.
What kind of horse traps, fireballs, snagging ropes, and a volley of random arrows? If you can beat them, they will fight, if you can't beat them, they will run away. After several times, they suffered a lot, and they no longer dare to go out of the city to pursue them. What's more, there are so many people at once.
They are more afraid."
Everyone suddenly understood and laughed.
Qin Huaidao couldn't help but look at Xue Rengui with admiration.
Xue Rengui said modestly: "These are all tactics I learned from the young master."
"What kind of play are you doing?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously.
"Guerrilla warfare, the military art taught by the young master, is not found in the military books of the past dynasties. It is a brand-new military art that makes full use of terrain and human calculations. It is suitable for defeating more with less and defeating strong with weak. It is very practical." Xue Rengui explained.
Cheng Chumo was a little confused when he heard it, and asked directly: "Just tell me what the point is."
Xue Rengui glanced at Qin Huaidao and saw that Qin Huaidao had no objection. Thinking that we were all old friends of Qin Huaidao, brothers in life and death, and our own people, he said bluntly: "Simply speaking, it is guerrilla warfare. The core is the word guerrilla. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we retreat."
When the enemy is stationed, I will harass you; when the enemy is tired, I will attack you."
"It's interesting. Please tell us in detail." Fang Yiai also became interested.
Xue Rengui did not hide his secrets and explained: "When the enemy advances and we retreat, it is to preserve our strength and wait to transfer the offensive; when the enemy retreats and we advance, it weakens his morale, accumulating small victories into big victories; when the enemy stays and harasses us, we tire out the enemy and cause damage to us."
The situation is favorable; when the enemy is tired and we attack, we must concentrate our forces and take the initiative to attack in order to annihilate the enemy."
Having said that, Xue Rengui explained in detail based on several cases to facilitate everyone's understanding.
They were all behind the scenes, and they were all excited and fascinated by the details.
Qin Huaidao hoped that everyone could learn more skills, and was also worried about how to improve Xue Rengui's prestige and status so that the noble disciples around him would recognize, accept, and believe him. Of course, he would not stop him. He watched Xue Rengui's story in leisurely time, as if he was watching the rise of a generation of war gods.
rise.
Before I knew it, night fell and someone brought me food.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they continued to discuss guerrilla warfare. Li Derjian, in particular, asked very seriously, not sparing any details, while trying to figure out the profound meaning and mystery. It was like opening up a whole new world.
Qin Huaidao stood up and looked at Qiemo City, thinking about countermeasures.
The night breeze was blowing, and the bright moon emerged from the clouds.
Qiemo City has become quiet, but there are more garrison troops on the city wall. They obviously have superior strength and are good at field battles and cavalry battles. Why do they stand still? I'm afraid it's not simple.
"Is there a killer move hidden behind it?"
A bad thought came to his mind. Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed. Seeing that Xue Rengui had almost said it, he motioned to step forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Xue, Qiemo has a lot of troops. Although you lured out of the city and killed a lot of them with tricks,
But as long as the soldiers are dispatched, the chance of victory is not small, so why hide in the city?"
"I have thought about this, but I can't figure it out." Xue Rengui said truthfully.
"It seems that there is something strange behind this. Could it be that he knew that we would not retreat, so he just stopped quietly and waited for us to take the initiative to attack?" Qin Huaidao asked and answered himself, frowning slightly.
Xue Rengui thought for a while and agreed: "There is some truth. This can at least reduce losses. Many troops outside the city are obedient and do not obey the Kingdom's restraint. They may want to use our sword to weaken the tribes outside the city.
Strength, wait until both halves are injured in the fight before taking action, and reap the benefits."
"You just said that when you attack nearby tribes, and Mocheng has not sent troops, there is a possibility of killing people with swords, but I always feel that it is not that simple. What do you think?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Xue Rengui gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and looked in the direction of Qiemo City with a more solemn look.
"Come on, we can only attack by water." Qin Huaidao said his idea. Although this attack is time-consuming, the loss will not be huge, so it is the best choice.
"Water attack?"
Xue Rengui looked at the Qiemo River from north to south, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "The young master is still very powerful. He saw the weakness of Qiemo City as soon as he came. The water attack is a good idea, but it is still a conspiracy. The defenders in Qiemo City saw
When we build a dam to store water, we will inevitably go out to fight in the city. Our army can deploy in advance and kill their majesty. However, the terrain of Mo City is high. Even if we successfully store water, it will be difficult to flood the city. Unless we open additional canals and divert water for irrigation, it will take a long time.
The city wall is weak and will inevitably collapse, but it is too slow and cannot be done in half a month."
Qin Huaidao also knew this, but he had no better way. He looked up the Qiemo River, and when he saw a bend, he suddenly had an idea, his eyes widened, and he said: "No... let's cut off the water!"
"Broken water?" Xue Rengui was a little confused and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao smiled, holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand.
