In the drizzle that already showed signs of plum rain, in a forest on the north bank of Suishui River, the battle suddenly started.
To be fair, although Dou Xiaoniang is extremely talented and has rich life experience, her pure military experience is still somewhat lacking, especially her lack of serious battlefield leadership experience. Therefore, she was suddenly ambushed and saw someone being killed directly in front of her.
The crossbow bolt fell from his horse, and the young patrol captain couldn't help but be horrified. He just repeatedly called for dozens of riders in his team to take the wounded and evacuate, but he personally fought back with a long sword and cut off the rear.
This move had a miraculous effect... The ambushing Imperial Guards thought she was a young girl, and she was in the woods. They seemed to think that she could be captured alive, so they gave up their crossbows for the second round and tried to fight in hand-to-hand combat.
However, these people not only underestimated this young lady's equestrian martial arts, but also underestimated the other party's cultivation. Dou Xiaoniang waved the long sword on the horse, and seven or eight feet of Lihuo Zhenqi rose along the blade, just like the real thing.
The opponent's armored armies clashed with each other, and the flames kept escaping and burning the opponent's mouth and nose. They were actually one against many and did not lose at all, so these forbidden troops quickly lost their momentum.
Immediately, Dou Xiaoniang just saw a flaw, jumped on her horse, flew over a large tree stump, turned a few turns in the woods, and successfully escaped.
But after he escaped from the woods and met his subordinates waiting for him outside, he couldn't help but ask: "Xun joined the army, did anyone die in the battle? How many were injured? Where are the horses?"
"Reply to the general!" The deputy who joined the army reined in his horse and faced each other in the rain, and immediately replied. "Shen Erlang and Brother Li died on the spot, Feng Shiwulang's horse was injured, and the others lost some supplies.
The equipment, as well as Zhao Qilang and several others fell off their horses due to the slippery road, but overall it should be fine... and the rest will be fine."
"No more?" Dou Xiaoniang, whose hair was soaked by the rain, was obviously stunned.
"It's true that there is no more." Joining the Army tried his best to correct it. "Except for the matter of Shen Erlang and Brother Li, the Forbidden Army is not as powerful as the rain in Huaibei!"
Dou Xiaoniang still can't understand, if the Forbidden Army is useless, how can they plan such a successful siege and successfully complete the crossbow shooting? If they are not, why did they cause such casualties? Moreover, it doesn't matter that two teammates died on the spot.
Isn’t it okay to just pretend that there are no other casualties?
In fact, if the two people, including Shen Erlang, the preparation general, had not been killed on the spot, Dou Xiaoniang would not have been so panicked.
However, the soldier obviously had some concerns at this time, and immediately made a guess: "Commander, we looked at it together and thought it might be a problem with the crossbow."
"Crossbow?"
"Yes, their crossbows probably got wet." Joining the Army explained. "It's not that everyone missed the crossbow arrows, but according to everyone's opinions, most of them missed the target, and then their armor slipped when they encountered wet armor; there were a few others.
One was hung on the coir raincoat, and we checked it with our own eyes. It seemed that it had lost some strength, and even the coir raincoat couldn't be penetrated... But Shen Erlang and Brother Li were just unlucky, and they hit the mark... Shen Erlang was the throat, and Brother Li was the throat.
It's the armpit."
This explanation seems feasible, but Dou Xiaoniang is still puzzled: "Crossbows can also be affected by moisture?"
"The opportunity for wooden crossbows is booming." Joining the Army further added.
Dou Xiaoniang was stunned in the rain, and she wiped her face for a long time: "The Forbidden Army also uses wooden crossbows?"
"Otherwise, how could it be like this?" This time, joining the army was just a matter of showing off.
The young lady reined in her horse and turned around. Thinking of the new order she had received this time when she went south, she immediately ordered: "Send someone to take this matter back to Shilipu behind you! The king of heaven and Li Longtou are there! The rest will leave the body behind for the time being."
Come on, follow me back, and be sure to grab a few crossbows!"
This time it was Jiang Jun's turn and he was a little confused, but he quickly gave the order. About two or three cavalrymen set out one after another and headed towards Shilipu.
After these messengers left, the others had re-equipped and sorted out their equipment. Before setting off, Dou Xiaoniang looked at the non-stop rain above her head, but added another order: "Everyone put on raincoats, and then go in and search."
The patrols naturally followed orders.
Facts have proved that Li Ding, who had just arrived on the north bank of Suishui River, paid more attention to this information than imagined. He set off from Shilipu where he had just settled almost immediately, and only brought a dozen riders with him, leaving Xiong Bonan with only
Ride a horse and don’t show off.
Shilipu is not named because it is ten miles away from a certain city, but ten miles away from a shoal in Suishui River, so the distance is actually quite close. Regardless of the risk of horsepower and rainy weather, it is only half an hour away from the previous ambush battle.
The two people with the highest status on the front line of the gang rode with their entourage through the rain to the outskirts of this small forest.
Then, Xiong Bonan immediately noticed the movement in the woods and took action.
"King of Heaven, don't move." Li Ding immediately stopped the other party. "We don't need support from others, we will wait here."
Xiong Bonan was puzzled for a moment: "What does Li Longtou mean? Don't you want to see the crossbow machine?"
"Crossbows can't run, people can." Li Ding said expressionlessly. "Since they are here and they haven't run away, why not take a look at the combat effectiveness of this group of forbidden troops and their morale? Just let them fight with this patrol team.
It's a matter of life and death, let's not interfere, just look at the results."
While Xiong Bonan came to his senses, he couldn't help but frown on the spot...Some things are like this. Logically speaking, this is a normal behavior for the military commander to test the combat strength of both sides, find out the flaws and establish tactics, and it belongs to tactical reconnaissance.
Part of it is that the so-called kindness does not control the army. But even though I have already come here, I still let my brothers in the gang use their lives to prove it. If it is not profitable, it is not profitable.
And when King Xiongtian looked at the expressionless Li Longtou anxiously, his heart moved slightly, because he had just thought of Chief Zhang Xingzhang... Li Ding regarded human life as a matter of victory or defeat, and he
If you think brothers are more important and can't do this kind of thing, what about Chief Zhang?
The answer is very simple. Chief Zhang will definitely never do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary. If he has to do it, he must explain it clearly to his superiors and explain the necessity of doing such a thing. However, Chief Zhang saw here
If Li Ding did this, I'm afraid he wouldn't stop him. He just wanted to explain for Li Ding and appease people like him.
Thinking about it carefully, Chief Zhang ignored the emotions of the brothers below and insisted on placing Li Ding in this position. Many people talked about the previous friendship between Li Longtou and Chief Zhang, but he was probably inferior...
There is friendship, but if we talk about friendship, why is it that Qin Bao is only the helmsman and leader? You know, before Jia Runshi was released, he acted as a leader. At that age, Jia Runshi could be because of
If you want to take care of the descendants of the Jishui River and give them to a leader, why can't Qin Bao do it?
Therefore, in the characteristic continuous rain in early summer in Huaibei, Xiong Bonan, whose beard was not even touched by water, squinted slightly, and an idea came to his mind - Chief Zhang knew that this was the right thing to do, but the gang members, including himself,
They were not willing to do this, so I invited this person over and put him in this position.
Just ask this person to do this thing.
But so what?
Chen Bin and Xie Minghe were like this back then, but why are they not gang members in Gancheng now? Even if they were members of the gang back then, wouldn't there be a similar statement?
Once you enter the gang, it is like the continuous rain that will eventually merge into the river.
Li Ding didn't know Xiong Bonan's random thoughts, nor did he know that Xiong Bonan could always confidently rely on the strength of the gang. He just reined in his horse and waited outside the woods, and inside the woods, the battle was indeed fierce - it turns out that the Forbidden Army
It is true that most of the crossbows are made of wood, and only a few are still the previous fine steel crossbows. This makes their biggest weapon against cavalry in the woods useless, and eventually it evolved into hand-to-hand combat.
But once hand-to-hand combat begins, both sides actually have their own strengths and weaknesses.
The patrol has horses, even if the advantage of maneuvering in the woods and in the rain is greatly weakened, it still has the advantage of height, and Dou Xiaoniang is a strong point; the imperial army is simpler, but there are many people, they have more than a hundred people, this is
There is a serious team of people, but the patrol cavalry only has a few dozen people because it is a cavalry.
However, the battle in the woods ended quickly.
The reason is very simple, this is north of Suishui River.
Suishui is not wide. Before the summer rains have accumulated, there are many floating bridges and shoals, making it very easy to travel. However, the frequent small-scale battles that have lasted for three or four days have still vaguely created a tacit understanding between the two sides.
The dividing line is this Suishui River.
Therefore, those who dare to cross the Sui River to provoke battle are naturally heroes and heroes. But on the other hand, the other side of the Sui River is still too dangerous for our side.
As a result, the Forbidden Army, which was unable to ambush and then was counterattacked in the woods, continued to fight fiercely for more than half an hour, and after paying the price of about four or five lives and seven or eight wounded...
It's not that we can't continue the fight. In fact, they also killed two or three of the cavalry on the opposite side. If we continue the fight, it's not necessarily who will win, but the problem is that if we continue to fight, it will be exhausted until dark, or other reinforcements will come to help.
, then there is no way to return to the other side.
This group of forbidden troops didn't know that there was a mentally ill gang leader outside who would not allow reinforcements to come.
Li Ding stood on his horse and watched the Forbidden Army troops withdrawing from the woods in an orderly manner and headed towards Suishui. He reined in his horse and followed slowly, without looking back, and ordered: "Don't move now. Let's wait and see if the pursuit is pursued."
The effect depends on whether they cross the river quickly, and then intercept them after they reach the other side of the river."
After giving the order, he realized that his tone was wrong, because the order was directed to Xiong Bonan, and according to King Xiong Tian's status and prestige in the gang, he was not under his leadership.
So, the person wanted to turn around to calm down, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the other party nodding calmly, but he was too lazy to speak, and quickly returned his attention to the battle ahead.
Outside the woods, the entire Forbidden Army escaped. There were about a hundred or so people in the front, but they maintained a rough formation. They used a few donkeys to carry their wounded and placed them in the middle. The archers and crossbowmen and short soldiers surrounded them first, and the rear were divided.
Two groups of people, each with about twenty people, each armed with long soldiers and shields, took turns to respond and break up the rear.
The military cavalry chased them out, and because of the fighting, they got mixed up with the opponent's rearguard and had no intention of bypassing and flanking the weak phalanx in front.
With such a huge gap in tactical literacy, not to mention Li Ding, even Xiong Bonan frowned and rarely spoke proactively: "No wonder we have lost more than we have won so far."
"After all, they are Dongdu Xiaorui who have gathered the best from all over the world." Li Ding just sighed. "It's to be expected... Otherwise, if we fight in a small group and there is that girl in the patrol, we should have won by now."
minus."
Xiong Bonan glanced at Dou Xiaoniang, who was wielding her true energy more and more fiercely, and immediately nodded... In a battle of this level, as long as this young lady with a high level of cultivation is desperate to kill a few people quickly, the opponent will immediately retreat...
Up to now, it has been enough to explain the problem.
but……
"That's... Dou Longtou's daughter?" Xiong Bonan suddenly recognized the little girl.
"I don't know." Li Ding frowned. "Is Dou Longtou's daughter so handsome?"
"Indeed." Xiong Bonan sighed. "The identity of the patrol captain matches... I didn't say it before, so I thought it was another patrol team."
"If that's the case, King Xiongtian still needs to take care of him and don't let anyone get into trouble." Li Ding still frowned.
"I thought Li Longtou was still selfless..." Xiong Bonan couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that I want to be private, but if someone dies for this matter, it will cause instability behind me and ruin the situation." Li Ding also took the initiative to explain a little.
While the two were talking, the battle situation ahead gradually changed.
You must know that although the tactics are superior, in the end it is the imperial army that is retreating and the military patrols that are chasing. The latter relies on the superiority of the cavalry in the plains and never lets go, while the former, after the two groups of rear guards alternate two or three times in a row,
Finally, the slipperiness of the rainy day and the heavy armor affected the tactical movements, so that the two defenders merged into one, making it difficult to deploy.
I don’t know if she was soaked by the rain, but Dou Xiaoniang forgot to think as soon as the fight started today, and it is the same now. However, the factors on the battlefield are not only the commander’s timely thinking, she can still maintain some subtle battlefield feelings.
——Shortly after the opponent's two defenders merged into one, the young patrol captain noticed the disarray of the opponent's formation, as well as the heaviness and hesitation of the opponent's defender's movements.
Relatively speaking, with the consumption of horsepower and the raincoat on the body, the patrolman actually maintained some physical strength.
A moment later, after hearing the opponent's obviously heavy breathing, Dou Xiaoniang, who had just completed the handover, suddenly turned around and accelerated, charging towards the only officer on horseback in the enemy's front again.
The latter was not a general of the Forbidden Army, but an experienced Qijing master in the team. At this time, when he saw Dou Xiaoniang's constant pressure, he was frightened for a moment, but he still relied on his fighting instinct to raise his spear.
, ready to face him again. However, with just one move of the spear, he noticed the soreness in his shoulders, so that he was so frightened that his mind went blank.
After all, with so much experience, how could he not know what it means to lose strength at this time?
So, without any hesitation, the man actually dragged his spear on the spot, passed the rear guard, and rode his horse to hide in the phalanx further forward...or rather flee.
When Dou Xiaoniang saw this, she knew it was an opportunity, but she didn't give in at all and just rode her horse to catch up.
The two sides were in tandem, and I don't know whether Dou Xiaoniang was lighter or had better equestrian skills, or whether the man turned around in the rain and accelerated a little slower, but Xiaoniang actually caught up with him before he entered the square formation, and then waved his sword directly.
Release your true energy and hit the opponent's back.
However, before the zhenqi hit the opponent, Dou Xiaoniang felt a huge force coming from in front of her. She quickly moved her legs to lock the saddle with her zhenqi, and managed to stay still without falling off the horse. However, the person in front did not have this level of cultivation.
With luck, he just shook his horse and fell off the horse.
It turned out that the chase was too tight and the mud was slippery, so the two horses collided first.
No matter what, Dou Xiaoniang knew that there was an opportunity to beat the fallen man, so she immediately reined in the horse and then brandished her long sword to kill the man here.
However, the long sword wrapped in Li Huo's true energy was swung again. Before it fell, the fallen man below hurriedly raised his empty hands and shouted: "Don't kill me! I am willing to surrender!"
Dou Xiaoniang also felt that her head was empty and she was stunned on the spot. This is the fall?!
But she was stunned, and after she came to her senses, she knocked away the opponent's spear with her sword, and then shouted: "Go to the side, or I will kill you immediately!"
The man stood up, actually held his head and walked awkwardly to a tree on one side.
The Imperial Guards who witnessed this scene were shaken on the spot, and their formation became more and more scattered. The patrol knights couldn't help but get excited, and followed suit one after another, reining in their horses and rushing into the lone people outside.
For a time, even though the army general and the following officers kept shouting orders, they still couldn't stop the situation on both sides from reversing.
In just a moment, the 40-man rearguard had been forced to kill, and seven or eight of them were forced to surrender. Fortunately, the front phalanx had arrived at the Sui River, and they all jumped into the water without hesitation, preparing to escape from a shoal.
At this time, another accident occurred. It was nothing more than the Imperial Guards soldiers in front. Several donkeys connected by ropes entered the water. Suddenly, one of them stumbled, carrying the wounded man on his back, and slipped and went downstream, causing the other donkeys to
The donkey was also dragged down. Not to mention the people carried by the donkey, all the Imperial Guard sergeants at the front and rear were wrapped up, and the sergeants at the rear who had not entered the water were even more blocked.
At this point, the imperial guards at the rear couldn't stand it anymore and abandoned their formations and fled towards the river.
As a result, the military patrols followed the trend and caught up on the river bank, forcing the imperial army to be completely at a loss... Some surrendered, some fled up and down the river, and some simply entered the water, but fell into the deep water area due to lack of preparation.
.
What was originally an evenly matched battle suddenly turned into a complete victory for one side and a collapse for the other.
Li Ding watched this scene without saying a word. It wasn't until the imperial troops successfully arrived on the other side that he turned back and glanced at Xiong Bonan.
Xiong Bonan, who had been excited for a long time, understood. He left his horse and jumped up. Suddenly, a purple curtain appeared in the sky and rolled towards the other side of the river... Seeing this, the military patrols kept cheering, but the imperial guards were completely discouraged and simply
surrender.
The entire battle was only a small-scale battle of a hundred people. Even if Xiong Bonan's appearance caused the opponent's organizational surrender, it had little impact on the overall situation. But at this time, Li Longtou, who had been frowning while watching the battle before,
But he actually became very interested.
He rode up to the horse and first checked the crossbows. Sure enough, he found that only two of the crossbows of the Forbidden Army were made entirely of fine steel, and the rest mostly had wooden accessories. Then he looked at the rain gear, and almost only a few officers had rain gear. Then he went to look at the rain gear.
He looked at the opponent's only war horse and checked the horse's teeth and shoes. As for the other armor and ordnance, he also went through them carefully.
Not only that, he even went into the water himself, walked back and forth into the shallows of Suishui River, and asked Xiong Bonan to fish out two drowned donkeys. He checked the donkeys' physiques and the wounds of the wounded on the donkeys' backs.
The specific composition of the cargo.
In the end, of course, interrogation of the prisoners was inevitable, but it did not take too long.
Even so, after all the hard work, it was almost dark. Li Longtou didn't say a word, mounted his horse and left. Dou Xiaoniang and others also quickly stopped their previous excitement and only urged the prisoners to follow and escort them to Shilipu.
And go.
"How?" As the dusk quickly turned due to the rain, Xiong Bonan took the initiative to follow, with a hopeful look on his face.
Li Ding also gave his judgment: "The conditions are better than expected. This battle can be fought freely. As long as the opponent's main force can be cut effectively, there is a chance of winning!"
Xiong Bonan was refreshed and alert again: "Whether to take the initiative to start a war still depends on the chief's decision. Otherwise, we still have to look at the previously formulated case strategy to deal with it."
"This is natural." Li Dingben glanced at the other party, but frowned again.
Arriving at Shilipu, everyone was busy and resting. Li Ding went straight to his residence, and then he didn't eat, but took up a pen to write a letter... It was originally written to Zhang Xing, but for some reason, he wrote it twice.
I only stopped half a piece of paper and put it on the fire to burn. Then I wrote it for the third time, but it was simply an ordinary greeting letter to my wife Zhang Shiniang.
Just when he was about to finish writing, someone suddenly came out asking to see him, but it was his student Su Jingfang.
"Master." Su Jingfang was obviously relaxed. After entering, he just raised his head with clear eyes.
"How can you come over if you don't camp at Mangdang Mountain to reorganize the army?" Li Ding put down his pen and still frowned... He had only frowned all afternoon and evening today.
"Replying to my teacher, my wife didn't see you when she arrived at Mangdang Mountain, so she wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it in person. Mangdang Mountain also explained to Manager Xu that my father is in charge of the camp for the time being." Su Jingfang answered calmly and handed over the letter.
Hand it over.
"I thought she was here to see Dou Longtou's daughter." Li Ding sneered, took the letter, and then read it carefully, while Xiao Su turned a deaf ear the whole time and ignored it.
After leaning for a while, Li Ding read the letter, put down the letter, and said quietly for a moment: "It's all just gossip... You came from the north, did you meet your Uncle Zhang?"
"Master is joking." Su Jingfang couldn't help laughing. "In order to cover up others' deception, our five battalions came from Liaocheng to Jibei. When Uncle Zhang returns to Hebei to show up, he must go from the west. This is effective. How can we meet him?"
?”
Li Ding was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "I saw that you took it easy after joining the gang, and there happened to be something I wanted to hear from you."
"Master, please speak." Su Jingfang said respectfully.
"On the first day I came to Suishui, I saw a battle. Although it was an isolated case, there are some explanations... For example, the Forbidden Army still has the spirit and strength, but the ordnance has been neglected for four years, which is actually perfunctory; for Meiyu
There was also insufficient preparation; there was a shortage of war horses... All kinds of incidents, although they had been expected, were more violent than previously expected... The combination of these things made their military morale even worse than I expected.
, thinking that if we want to fight, the odds are obvious, so I have the intention to take the initiative to fight." Li Ding explained briefly. "However, when I came here, I didn't know whether I should write to your Uncle Zhang and ask for the initiative to fight."
Su Jingfang thought for a moment and wondered: "If you want to fight, can you bypass Master Zhang? Or does Master have some considerations about this battle?"
"There must be considerations, but we will take another look next." Li Ding said calmly. "The initiative to seek war I am talking about means that with this possibility, we need to add a plan to proactively seek war... How to make the decision is up to him.
things."
Su Jingfang thought about it again and became even more confused: "Then just write to Master Zhang directly. Why should you worry?"
"I won't hide it from you either." Li Ding was silent for a moment and told his students frankly. "Firstly, from the perspective of military affairs, I actually still feel that I am a bit inferior to others and cannot do military affairs on my own; secondly, from the perspective of government affairs
, I am also a little worried that I will be too attached to your uncle, and will be antagonizing other people, so that I will not be able to gain a foothold in the gang."
Su Jingfang thought about it three times and finally realized that being brave was just the opposite of being a fish in water when he joined the gang. His mentor still didn't get used to it... He couldn't help but want to lead an army to fight a big battle, but he also clearly realized that he couldn't convince the crowd and was worried about himself.
Can't stand.
After thinking about this, Xiao Su simply said: "Master, from the first point of view, even if you want to do things on your own, you have to wait until you are well established. Otherwise, why should you hand over the capital that you have accumulated through four years of hard work?
Toss it for you? Now, I can only find Uncle Zhang, Chief Zhang, and let him guarantee it for you."
Li Ding thought for a moment, and although he was unwilling to do so, he still nodded.
"As for the second one, I feel that my mentor is overthinking it. Now that he has just arrived, it is normal for people to be dissatisfied. It will definitely be fine in the future." Su Jingfang was still relieved.
"Are you trying to say that your uncle's position is stable and no one can shake it, and that I can do it safely under his wings?"
"That's one of them." Su Jingfang said with a smile. "No matter what, we can't say that we don't have the protection of our uncle."
"What about the second one?"
"The second is that opposing others will not hinder the master's success." Su Jingfang calmed down slightly. "Otherwise, who can shake the master? It should be noted that the master is not the master alone, but the regulations of the three counties and seven battalions, which are self-contained.
"
"How about Xiong Bonan?" Li Ding blurted out.
"Although King Xiongtian only has the title of deputy signature of Daxingtai, everyone knows that he is the only master in the gang and the chief military officer. He has always been in charge of rewards and punishments in the army. His prestige is almost second to Master Zhang. If it is true,
There is someone who can hinder the master from establishing himself. I'm afraid it's him." Su Jingfang blurted out. "But the reason why King Xiongtian is so prestigious is that he has clear rewards and punishments and is extremely loyal. If such a person comes specifically to seek trouble against the master, he will have to
How could this happen if he lost his own foundation in the gang?"
"What about Chen Bin?" Li Ding nodded and continued to ask.
"General Manager Chen is called the General Manager, but he actually works as a general affairs officer in the Nanya Government. He is regarded as a civilian prime minister within the gang, and he does hold a high position of authority." Su Jingfang said with a smile. "But it's a pity that the way my mentor established himself is in the military, which is different from the general affairs he is in charge of.
.Furthermore, it is difficult for his family to gain a foothold in the gang, so why would he want to boycott you, the master who has gone against him?"
Li Ding continued to nod expressionlessly: "Where are the leaders? Wei Xuanding?"
"Wei Gong is older. After Li Shu left, he has the most seniority and his territory is close to ours. However, he does not have his own team and is top-heavy. He is no match for the teacher."
"Wei Gong can't do it, so Chai Xiaohe can't do it; King Xiongtian can't do it, so Shan Dalang can't do it either... But what about Dou Lide?" Li Ding squinted his eyes and looked at his student. "Dou Lide is not becoming more and more powerful, and he is the best in Hebei.
state?"
"Dou Lide has always won people, and the heroes of Hebei also obey him. He is the biggest mountain in Hebei, and based on his past behavior, he will definitely try to recruit all the heroes of Hebei in the gang. However, the big way out for the gang is to first
Ding Hebei, there will definitely be more and more heroes from Hebei helping him in the future. In addition, our platform also belongs to Hebei, so he is really a threat." Su Jingfang couldn't help laughing. "But it's good that he has strong momentum, but there are troubles and weaknesses.
There are many... Chen Bin and General Manager Chen are his opponents; Wei Xuanding Wei Gong actually divided his power; Shan Dalang is said to have gone with him, but in fact Shan Dalang just has no conflict with him.
The key point is that we may not be on the same road as him, because there are still some differences between Henan and Hebei... However, these don't matter, because he has a huge flaw in front of the master, so he can naturally only win over the master instead of confronting him.
"
"How?" Li Ding was really curious.
"He doesn't know how to fight." Su Jingfang spread his hands in response. "Cut down the violent Wei and stabilize the world. This statement is clear, that is, it is still the time when we are establishing our business. Most things still have to be done with weapons, but he doesn't know how to fight.
! He doesn’t know how to fight, and to put it bluntly, there are many warrior leaders who look down on him in the gang! Not to mention obeying? And the master is best at fighting! I want to ask, who in the gang can replace the master and do his own thing? "
Li Ding's heart moved slightly and he blurted out: "Xu Dalang."
"It's Xu Dalang." Su Jingfang also nodded repeatedly. "If there is really someone who can make my mentor unable to stand, it is Xu Dalang who accounts for 70%, because this person is the main force in the war and has sufficient qualifications. After Li Shu left, he helped Zhongzhong
Heroes from Henan also obey him more... But it still depends on his ability on the battlefield and whether he can replace his master and lead the military strategy. But I think he is not as good as his mentor."
Li Ding remained silent, the fishy smell brought by the rain outside was still clear.
After a while, the person came back to his senses and asked: "Then do you think it is possible to fight this battle even if we have a slight chance of winning?"
"I'm sorry to tell you this bluntly." Su Jingfang responded sincerely. "Master Zhang will probably agree to formulate a corresponding new plan, but still stick to the original strategy... If the enemy's main force does not violate the boundary, we will not fight back... So, can this battle be successful?
If we start a fight, it still depends on what the Imperial Guards think."
Two days later, on the first day of May, the main force of the Forbidden Army arrived at Huokou Town, a town that was familiar but unfamiliar to Zhang Xing and others after several days of hard march in the rain.
Sima Huada could finally have a drink with peace of mind.
PS: Thank you to the old senior for your Silver Alliance... I am really ashamed. I will definitely finish writing this book seriously.
