Chapter 212 The only option is to destroy the country!
North of Yunyan City, in the frontier army camp.
All the generals gathered in the main camp, and Li Xun's rickety body sat in the main seat.
His wrinkled face was filled with a kind smile, and his eyes were full of kindness. He looked at the group of generals below like a grandfather looking at his grandson.
It is really not an exaggeration to say that a grandfather looks after his grandson. Li Xun is now over a hundred years old, and among the generals in the tent, the elder is only sixty or seventy years old, and the youngest is only about forty years old.
In terms of age, Li Xun is fully qualified to be their grandfather.
"Lord Zhuguo, from the day before yesterday to now, one hundred thousand troops of the Rong tribe have left the camp one after another. They are heading in all directions, and their destination has not yet been discovered!"
Inside the tent, He Jinglang reported.
The Rong camp was right opposite them, and every move was under their surveillance. Naturally, they could not hide the large number of troop mobilizations. However, the cavalry marched quickly on the grassland, making it difficult for the border army's scouts to keep an eye on them.
After Li Xun heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, but he still asked: "What do you think they are going to do?"
"They may invade other border towns!" He Jing said.
"Which border town?" Li Xun asked again.
"This!" He Jing hesitated.
There are more than thirty border towns on the northern border of Dali. It is possible for the Rong tribe to raid any one of them. How could he guess it?
"What about you? What do you think?" Li Xun didn't care and asked the other generals.
The other generals were all lost in thought, and for a while no one could guess the target that the Rong clan might attack.
At this moment, Bai Qi came out from behind and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, it doesn't matter which border town they attack. What's important is that we can capture the enemy's camp in one fell swoop!"
Bai Qi is the commander-in-chief of Xiangshan City, and his rank is a first- and second-grade military attache. However, in this camp, he is not considered a high-ranking military attaché.
Let’s not talk about Li Xun, but let’s talk about the generals in front of him. The lowest ones are all generals, and the higher ones include the governor of the governor’s office, the governor’s fellow magistrates, and the governor Qianshi. The key is that they still have titles, so he, the commander-in-chief, can only stand.
At the bottom of the team.
Of course, no one will look down on him or make things difficult for him. In both wars in Yunyan City, Bai Qi showed great combat and military talents and made many meritorious deeds. In addition, he has a ninth-level cultivation level, so no one
Dare to underestimate him.
When Li Xun saw Bai Qi coming out of the queue, the smile on his face became even more benevolent and said: "General Bai, this is a very good idea, hahaha~~"
"That old man in Huge likes to do some sneaky things. If I guess correctly, he will definitely send people to sneak attack the border town of Beizhou, so we have to deploy troops to support."
"He has done this kind of thing several times, and there is really no progress at all!"
Although he could not guess all of Huge's plans, based on his understanding of Huge, Huge must be planning sneak attacks everywhere.
In fact, this is also the strategy that the Rong tribe is best at. Because the Rong tribe is good at riding, and their soldiers are all cavalry, it is particularly convenient for them to march. In the past, they often gave up the later stages and flew thousands of miles to launch surprise attacks.
For this reason, Dali Cai had to build a large number of border towns and forts on the northern border to cope with the Rong tribe's raids.
"In this case, then directly send troops to besiege their camp!"
"Haha, they want to lead us by the nose, but we just can't do what they want."
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
Li Xun looked solemn and shouted angrily.
"Here!" the generals responded.
"In this battle, Bai Qi, the commander-in-chief of Xiangshan City, will be the vanguard and will attack the Rong camp at dawn tomorrow."
"I will obey your orders!" Bai Qi took a step forward and responded with clasped fists.
Being a vanguard is a hard job, but for generals, it is an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Li Xun asked him to serve as a pioneer officer, obviously to give him the opportunity to make contributions, and Bai Qi naturally would not refuse.
"General Song Shan is the former military commander!"
"General, I obey!" A general over two meters tall stood up and accepted the order.
"General Bai Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the Left Army!"
"General, I obey!" A general with a slight stature and fierce eyes stood up to accept the order.
"General Zhao Lushen is the commander-in-chief of the right army!"
"The last general takes command!"
Li Xun nodded slightly and looked around among the generals before continuing: "General Yuwen is the commander-in-chief of the rear army!"
Yuwen Chengdu, who was wearing fish scale armor, quickly stepped out of the queue and responded: "I will obey your orders!"
The chief generals of the four armies do not represent the command of tens of thousands of soldiers, but their status in the camp. For example, Song Shan, Bai Cheng and Zhao Lushen are all experienced generals in the border army. Compared with them, Yuwen Chengdu has more or less seniority.
A bit worse.
But Yuwen Chengdu has innate cultivation, and no one dares to underestimate him due to this alone.
Of course, in the military, you can't just look at your cultivation. High cultivation does not mean strong ability to lead troops.
For military generals, their own strength and ability to lead troops are very important.
Li Xun made Yuwen Chengdu the commander-in-chief of the rear army, not because of Qin Wei's face, but because Yuwen Chengdu defended Yunyan City twice, and his results were very good both times.
"He Jing!"
"The official is here!"
"You are the deputy general of the partial army!" Li Xun said.
"Vice general of the partial army!" He Jing was a little puzzled.
He is the right commander of the former military governor's office, the Northern Marquis of Dali Town, and the general of Dingguo. It is enough to let him command the partial army. Why is he still the deputy general?
At this time, He Jing began to wonder if he had offended Li Xun.
Li Xun explained: "Tomorrow you and Situ Changkong will lead the Sky Eagle Army to attack the Wuhuan Royal Court directly!"
He Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Directly attack Wuhuan Royal Court!
"Master Zhuguo wants to destroy the Wuhuan Royal Court!"
"That's right!" Li Xun nodded calmly.
Just defeating the coalition forces of the four royal families of the Rong clan means nothing to him.
As early as fifty years ago, he had blocked the Rong army many times, and it could be said that he was victorious in every battle. Therefore, he was called the God of War by the northern frontier army.
This time, the four royal courts of the Rong clan jointly attacked. If they were not hurt or killed, there was no telling what these guys would do in the future.
So Li Xun decided to destroy the Wuhuan Royal Court.
As long as the Wuhuan Royal Court is destroyed, the north of Dali will be stable for ten years.
It was for this reason that the old emperor asked him to come to the north.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, the border troops can be in chaos, but they cannot remain in chaos.
How to deter the many royal courts around Dali?
Only destroy the country!
…
The next morning.
Dali's 300,000 troops came out of the camp and lined up in front of the Rong tribe's camp.
Inside the Rong tribe’s camp.
Wuhel and Huge looked at the magnificent Dali Army Formation with solemn expressions in their eyes.
"They actually want to attack!"
Uhel said in shock.
It's not that Dali can't attack, but Dali's strategy in the north is to focus on defense.
For decades, Dali has been strengthening the border cities and forts in the northern frontier army, with the purpose of defending against the invasion of the Rong tribe in the north.
There is nothing we can do about it. The Rong tribe has many cavalry, they are very good at field battles, and they are also very fast. If they see that the situation is not going well, they will run away immediately.
"What should we do? Should we retreat?" Uhel looked at Huge and asked.
Huge's face was gloomy and uncertain.
His plan is to leave the camp here to contain the other side. If they retreat, the hundreds of thousands of Dalili border troops on the opposite side will be completely liberated.
Maybe his plan to raid Jinshan City can still be carried out, but his subsequent plan to raid the border town of Enshu will definitely not be carried out.
"Can't retreat!" Huge said.
"Why?"
"Once we retreat, our plan to enter Dali will completely fail." Huge said.
Uhel frowned and said: "Let's leave here first and then raid Yuanzhou!"
Huge shook his head and said: "If we are thorough, they will definitely bite us. Don't forget, they still have a hundred thousand Sky Eagle Army!"
Wuhel was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of helplessness on his face.
The Sky Eagle Army are all cavalry, and they are no worse than the warriors of their Rong tribe.
"Then we can only fight a tough battle!" Uhel said.
Huge thought for a while and said: "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It is not advisable to fight forcefully. We will defend with the camp!"
"good!"
Uhel nodded, agreeing with his idea.
On the opposite side, under the banner of the Chinese Army, Li Xun looked at the Rong camp and the fortifications being built inside the Rong camp, with a smile like an old fox on his face.
"Huge, Huge, have you forgotten me?"
"You actually want to stick to it!"
He chuckled.
If the Rong army retreats, then his plan to destroy the country will not be completed.
But if the Rong army defends the camp, then the Wuhuan royal court will be doomed.
…
In the vanguard formation.
Bai Qi is riding on a war horse, holding a long halberd, and his hair is full of hair, blowing in the whistling north wind, like steel needles flying.
His eyes were like a torch, staring at the Rong camp in front of him.
Dong dong dong~~
The sound of drums sounded, followed closely by the dull sound of horns.
"roar!"
The 30,000 soldiers behind him suddenly let out a loud roar, and the long swords of many soldiers hit the ground hard, making a thump sound on the ground!
"war!"
Bai Qi's neck was covered with veins and he roared.
The next moment, Bai Qi flew out like a black light and shadow, his war horse galloping and his halberd pointing directly at the Rong tribe's camp.
Thousands of soldiers behind him turned into a torrent and swarmed out.
The Rong tribe's camp was built of wood, and the outer wall was only one foot high, which was naturally incomparable to the city wall of Yunyan City.
But the thick wall was full of Rong soldiers, holding bows and arrows or scimitars, quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.
Bai Qi took the lead and was less than a hundred steps away from the Rong camp in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Bai Qi's figure, the Rong general in charge of the defense lost his composure and shouted quickly: "Fire the arrow!"
The next moment.
The bowstring vibrated, and with a swish, arrows flew out one after another, turning into a rain of arrows.
Bai Qi didn't seem to be afraid when he saw this. He waved his halberd, and his whole body was filled with a gray aura.
"Break it for me!"
The halberd slashed, and the strong energy mixed with the majestic momentum flew across the sky, sending countless arrows flying out in an instant.
"Innate master!"
The Rong general said in shock.
As soon as he finished his exclamation, a figure jumped out from behind the wooden wall.
"Who is here? Do you dare to fight with me, General!"
An innate general of the Rong tribe stood on the wooden wall and shouted coldly.
Bai Qi rode a horse and galloped, looking coldly at the Rong general. He didn't reply, but pulled the reins.
The war horse was pulled by the reins and leaped into the air.
This leap actually exceeded one foot, which was higher than the wooden wall of the Rong tribe's camp.
"Go away!"
With a loud roar, the halberd in Bai Qi's hand came down.
The Rong general's face changed drastically, and he held a scimitar to resist.
On the halberd, gray energy suddenly erupted, like a demonic weapon, with a ferocious aura that made people tremble when they saw it.
The halberd fell.
Suddenly!!
Although the Rong general was wearing leather armor, he was killed by the Overlord with a halberd, and his blood spilled on the messy grass.
When the surrounding Rong soldiers saw this, they were immediately heartbroken.
That was their innate general. Although he was only the lowest innate general, he wouldn't be able to be killed with just one move.
Under the banner of the Central Military Commander, Li Xun looked at this side from a distance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a fierce general!"
The generals next to him were also extremely shocked.
There are also innate warriors among the border troops, but the number is relatively small.
The official positions of innate warriors are not necessarily very high. Most of the time, innate warriors who enter the border army only hold the official position of deputy general soldier. They have also seen many innate warriors, but there are really not many as fierce as Bai Qi.
wrong!
There is one more!
All the generals suddenly turned back to look at the tall figure among the rear army.
Yuwen Chengdu!
It is also a ferocious horse when it comes to fighting.
…
The war horse neighed, and Bai Qi suddenly fell behind the wooden wall.
He was seen waving his halberd and sweeping towards the rear. In the next moment, more than ten meters of the ten-foot-high wooden wall was cut off and collapsed.
"kill!"
The gap of more than ten meters made the rushing vanguard soldiers immediately cheer up.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers poured in from the gap, and the Rong tribe could not stop them at all.
