Although Cheng Zixu was not directly subordinate to the Crown Prince, he was still a general in charge of one hundred thousand soldiers. His Highness the Crown Prince had to hide this kind of thing from himself, which made him a little unhappy.
Lin Fan looked at Cheng Zixu and said, "If I tell you that the ambush is nearby, what will you do?"
"It goes without saying that we will naturally kill them directly and give those people a fatal blow first! In this way, we will win a big victory and we will take the soldiers down the mountain directly!"
Cheng Zixu said loudly.
Lin Fan said: "Haha! It is precisely because of this that I dare not tell you. If you lead the soldiers to kill in such a steep terrain, have you calculated how many people we will die?"
"Your Highness, how can anyone not die in a war?"
Cheng Zixu said.
"What a coincidence, we don't need to kill anyone this time. Now, those people are already half-dead from the cold. Our soldiers will go down the mountain at this time, encounter them, and catch them off guard!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Your Highness, it's snowing now and the ground is frozen. We don't understand the terrain here, and we don't know where the way down the mountain is. How to get down?"
Cheng Zixu asked.
"Isn't there just a road in front of you?"
Lin Fan looked at Cheng Zixu and asked.
"kindness?
Your Highness, are you crazy?
This is a dry river, full of stones. If a person falls and keeps sliding down, he will die!"
Cheng Zixu said in a deep voice.
"What if there is a shield underneath?
Let’s just glide down!”
Lin Fan said with a smile.
kindness!
Cheng Zixu was shocked when he heard what Lin Fan said. If he went down the mountain in this way, it would be really fast and stable. Why didn't he think of it?
"General Cheng, my brother has already planned everything. We have at least 100,000 shields connected with ropes, and the soldiers are all squatting on them. Isn't it not fast to go down the mountain?"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice.
Cheng Zixu immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, the general is stupid, please forgive me!"
Lin Fan said: "General Cheng, you spoke arrogantly just for the sake of the lives of these soldiers. What crime do you have? If this prince of yours even cares about your crime, then what kind of prince do you think you are?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
Cheng Zixu said.
At this time, he was a little more convinced of Lin Fan.
Everyone began to prepare and connected all the shields together.
At this time, the soldiers of Annan Kingdom were on their way down the mountain.
"This place is already rugged, and now it's snowing and icy. It's really difficult to walk. Every step I take makes me feel like I'm going to slip!"
"You guys! Help me, I can't walk steadily now. The cold wind is making me tremble. I want to go back to the tent and huddle up!"
"You useless thing, if you continue to huddle on the mountain, you can only wait for death. As long as we go down the mountain, there will be coal stoves to keep warm. Moreover, none of the enemies who can be killed will be left behind!"
"Haha! We don't even have cotton-padded clothes now. It is said that they have all been sold. Damn it! It's all the fault of the Prime Minister!"
"Alas! Speaking of this, I am also very angry. If the Prime Minister had not been stupid, why would he have supported so many cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? As a result, we have no cotton-padded clothes to wear!"
ah!
While the soldiers were talking, someone let out a scream and fell off the cliff. Everyone was shocked and squatted on the ground, not daring to move forward.
The general roared angrily: "You bastard! Why are you squatting down?
Hurry up and move forward, if we can't get down the mountain before dark, we will all die here!"
this……
The soldiers all stood up tremblingly and continued to move forward. Another half an hour passed and they had covered less than half of the distance they had traveled.
Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and people fell off the cliff from time to time. In the evening, they talked and walked to the foot of the mountain. It was finally safe!
"Soldiers, we have arrived at the bottom of the mountain. As long as we return to the military camp, we can have hot meals and broth!"
the general shouted.
The soldiers cheered for joy. At this moment, there was a crashing sound in the distance and the sound of everyone laughing.
Ha ha!
"kindness?
what sound!"
Some people are confused.
"Listen to this voice, there are quite a few people there, probably hundreds of thousands of people!"
Someone else said.
The general suddenly felt something bad and asked them to quickly draw their weapons and prepare for battle. The officers and soldiers obeyed the order and hurriedly prepared for battle.
Halfway up the mountain in the distance, a dark thing that looked like a warship rushed towards them quickly. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be made of people!
"This! They can actually think of going down the mountain like this!"
The general was frightened.
Among the black-armored troops, Lin Fan and Zhu Cijiong stood together, surrounded by a group of black-armored soldiers.
When they saw the Annan soldiers in front, Lin Fan shouted: "Soldiers! The enemy is in front of you, be ready for battle!"
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldiers are all ready for battle.
Wow!
The sound of shields rubbing against stones was heard one after another. Along the way, some shields were ground flat from their arches, while others were cracked.
However, they did go down the mountain smoothly. Cheng Zixu admired Lin Fan even more!
The army rushed towards the Annan soldiers. The group of people were cold and hungry. At this time, seeing the shocked Ming soldiers, they had no intention of fighting. They dispersed in a swarm and fled for their lives!
Lin Fan would not give these people a chance to escape. Wherever the army passed, they would directly crush them. The shields stopped, and the 250,000-strong army immediately pursued the enemy.
When the enemy general was escaping, he accidentally tripped over a stone and fell directly off the cliff. Lin Fan and Zhu Cijiong together led a group of people to chase the large enemy army.
Three hours later, all the enemies in the mountain were wiped out!
The place lost 100,000 people!
But on Lin Fan's side, no one was lost. This battle was enough to be included in the legend!
"Brother! All the enemies have been wiped out, and no one of us has been lost!"
Zhu Cijiong said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Only in this way can it be considered a victory. This battle was such a joy! Third brother, rectify the soldiers, let's go to Qujing Mansion!"
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Qujing Mansion is the closest city to them in Yunnan Mansion. As long as they get there, they can rest again and buy some food.
"Your Highness, the general is completely impressed this time. No one on our side was lost, and all the enemies were wiped out. We have waited for more than twenty days, and it was worth it!"
Cheng Zixu sighed with emotion.
"General Cheng, war is not just about bloodshed and sacrifice. If there is a way to annihilate the enemy without spending a single soldier, why don't we give it a try?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"What the prince teaches is that when a general leads an army in the future, he will definitely not do what he did before, he only knows how to rush forward at once!"
