When she regained her senses, Xuzi saw that the other party was crying, and the clear tears rolled down her earlobes, reflected by the lightning outside, as bright as beads.
Xuzi thought that the other party would make some request, and he calmly prepared accordingly. If the request was excessive, he told himself that he must refuse it.
As he expected, Shi Lan did speak. But her request was completely different from what Xu Zi had guessed, and it was like thunder in his ears.
"Hold me tight!" She stretched out her arms and made her only request.
After seeing off the envoy, Qin Shubao sat on the commander's desk and began to complain. "You people are not family members and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. You could just accept it when you see it, but you have to fight. Hehe, the Wagang army and the mountain bandits are mixed together.
The combat effectiveness may not be doubled. The combined combat effectiveness of our Qijun and Beihai soldiers and horses is stronger than others? Everyone was just to avenge the robbery of their hometown. Now they have come from Beihai to Lujun. They must have been exhausted.
It’s tight! Alas!.”
Thinking about his sudden thoughts just now, Qin Shubao felt blushing. He suddenly felt very regretful and regretted that he did not have the courage to take responsibility. If it were not for the fear that Li Xu, a general from the imperial court, would be dissatisfied, he would definitely agree to Wagang
The army's request. The Art of War says, "Don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. It is not economical to sacrifice the lives of your brothers for the sake of being slightly disabled."
The more than ten thousand soldiers in Beihai County were all temporarily recruited by Qin Shubao and others. Most of them joined the army just to get the two hundred kilograms of rice. There were also some young men who went into battle with swords to avenge their families who were killed by the bandits. Therefore.
, the combat effectiveness of these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses is not stronger than that of the bandits. Qin Shubao likes to leave some room for speech, so he only said that everyone was tired and did not mention anything else. Wu Qi, the prime minister of Beihai County, did not need to worry so much, and he raised his hand.
Qin Shubao continued: "After killing so many thieves, I'm afraid the hatred in everyone's hearts will no longer be so strong. I know what Governor Qin said, but if we let the thieves go without a fight, everything will be lost."
Once the court finds out, I’m afraid everyone here will be involved!”
Wu Qi was originally the county captain of Beihai County. The two thieves Guo Fangyu and Qin Junhong swept Beihai with 100,000 bandits, conquering four cities in half a month. The governor, county magistrate and magistrates of several major counties in Beihai County
, the county captains all died in the war, and no one in the court was willing to work in a war-torn place, so the position of county magistrate was an advantage for him.
"In a battle on the battlefield, my disciples from Beihai are definitely no match for the Wagang Army. Even if Governor Qin doesn't mention this, I have to admit it!" Wu Qi looked around and continued. "But if you stick to the stronghold and don't come out, everyone will probably
It will take quite some time. As for whether it can starve all the people on the mountain to death, Wu doesn’t know!”
"I'm afraid that the Wagang Army won't forcefully break out. That guy named Xu is very insidious in his tactics. If he comes out with some tricks, everyone will be in trouble!" Qin Shubao shook his head repeatedly and rejected Wu Qi's strategy of defending the camp.
Because the soldiers under his command came from different sources, it was difficult for him to agree with his opponent's point of view. Wu Qi's soldiers and horses had not received any training, and their weapons were dug out of the trophies, so he did not care how many brothers he lost.
These brothers under Qin Shubao are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, the essence of the entire Qijun army. One of these veterans dies, and if they lose more than 200 in a battle like yesterday, let alone Qin Shubao, it is Zhang Xu.
Tuo himself couldn't bear it.
"If we don't want to fight with the Wagang Army, we might as well give him the road! Anyway, there is more than one road down the mountain, but this one is the most suitable for large groups of troops to pass!" In contrast, it was decided to confront the enemy.
In the end, Xu Zi's mentality was the most peaceful. He was not like Luo Shixin, whose forehead started to heat up whenever he mentioned war, and he was so excited that he was gearing up. He was also not like Qin Shubao, who was always weighing how much property he had in his hands.
.Now that he has decided to fight, he will go all out. This is all he thinks. If his side's performance is too weak, Xu Zi feels that not only the Qijun fathers will not be satisfied, but Xu Maogong in the mountains will also feel uninterested.
"You mean to let them pass, and then follow and kill them! But the enemy general is very careful, so he will definitely be on guard." Qin Shubao stood up and walked around Li Xu to ask. He liked Xu Zi at this time, calm and confident,
There is almost no cowardice in him that he usually displays.
"The person responsible for cutting off the rear must be the Wagang Army. Qi Guoyuan escaped and may not be willing to come back to rescue him. Our army of more than ten thousand pressed forward, just to avenge Xiao Zhang yesterday. Damn it, those guys pretended to be benevolent and treated the injured number
They brought them back to us, but all the armor and weapons were stolen." Luo Shixin stepped forward and suggested enthusiastically. What he cared more about than the armor and weapons was actually his captain Zhang Pu, who was killed by the leader of the Wagang Army.
The horse was knocked down in a confrontation. Although luckily he was not trampled to death by the war horse, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed if he lay down for more than half a year. The armor and the war horse under his crotch were also stripped off by the Wagang army like chicken feathers. He was not more than 20 years old.
The real meat is easy to dispose of but cannot be returned.
"When it comes to killing people on the battlefield, no one has killed more than you Luo Shixin." Qin Shubao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How can we clearly calculate the grudges on the battlefield? Don't interrupt, it's better to find a proper solution!"
"As long as the strength is sufficient, conspiracy and tricks are of no use!" Luo Shixin replied angrily. He is a person who believes in the supremacy of strength and has never believed in military tactics. The so-called iron cone hits the egg. If you are unlucky to be on the side of the egg,
, even if Zhuge Liang is reborn, it will still be for the sake of sprinkling egg yolks and egg whites on the ground. If both sides are hammers, then they will just have a good time. The one who can't hold it first will fall down first, and the one who falls down later will win.
"If we get out of the way, 80% of the Wagang Army will leave behind. When the whole army comes forward, we may not be able to leave them behind!" Li Xu nodded and agreed with Qin Shubao's analysis. He was the only one among the people present.
He knew the enemy's coach's temperament best. However, he couldn't talk about their past friendship with each other. He could only follow the wishes of others and introduce the tactics he thought of little by little.
Qin Shubao did not want to go head-to-head with the Wagang Army, and Xu Zi was very happy to see him think so. In terms of pure force, the sum of his own people might not lose to the Wagang Army's Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin, Xie Yingdeng and Xu Maogong. Especially.
Qin Shubao is probably even more powerful than Cheng Zhijie. But in terms of strategy, his own side may not be as clever as his opponent. Neither Luo Shixin nor Dugu Lin like trickery. Qin Shubao is careful and heavy-handed in his troops, but he mainly uses serious troops.
For the Lord. And Xu Maogong never likes to have a head-on showdown with others. The messenger Xie Yingdeng who came today is probably also a guy who likes to do tricks.
"We can't let them go like this!" Dugu Lin interrupted, shrugging.
"Chongmu, listen to Zhong Jian!" Qin Shubao ordered in a low voice. What Li Xu said was exactly what he meant. Qin Shubao also vaguely guessed the plan. There is no doubt that it should be a good idea.
"But if everyone doesn't press forward, the Wagang Army will definitely think that we might intercept and kill Qi Guoyuan. If he sacrifices his life to protect him, we will still get nothing!" Li Xu thought for a while and continued to prepare for everyone. He was not sure.
He could defeat Xu Maogong, so he simply did not plan to defeat Xu Maogong. The Wagang army did not commit any crimes near Qijun, and the county soldiers did not have to fight with them again.
"So, I thought, let's get out of the way and let the enemy troops come out of the mountain. Then a group of soldiers and horses, led by Shixin, will catch up from behind. No matter who is behind, we will fight with him!"
"This job suits my temper, brother Zhongjian, I support you!" Luo Shixin was beaming with joy when he heard that Li Xu used himself in the first move.
"However, you can't lead our troops from Qi County. Instead, together with Brother Wu Lin, you will lead Beihai County's 10,000 troops to pursue them. Don't be fooled by the enemy. Fight if you can. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose!" Li Xu looked at it!
Looking at Luo Shixin, he smiled and completed the sentence.
"Then why bother!" When Luo Shixin heard that he was asked to take more than ten thousand newcomers to fight with the Wagang Army, he immediately withered like an eggplant beaten by frost. Wu Qi and Wu Yulin standing next to him had their heads drooped.
Even lower than him, he secretly scolded Li Xu for being unjust. "Oh, you can't bear to let the children of Qijun fight for their lives. I, the children of Beihai, were picked for nothing." But he dared to think or say this, because Li Xu was the second in command of the imperial court.
Uncle Ding, General Wu Yalang, although his rank is lower than that of his county magistrate, the weight of his words is far greater than that of his newly appointed county magistrate. Moreover, Qi County is sending troops this time to help Beihai County, so even though he has a feeling in his heart
Even if he doesn't want to, he has no reason to back down.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, as long as you can entangle the Wagang Army for two hours, no matter what method you use, we will win this battle!" Qin Shubao saw some clues, stepped forward, and patted Wu Qi on the shoulder,
He smiled and comforted. Li Xu didn't need any further explanation. He already fully understood the essence of this plan and wholeheartedly agreed with Xu Zi's arrangement.
The commander of the Wagang Army is not stupid. He will not disperse an elite army and mix it with the frightened birds under Qi Guoyuan's command to seek death. In order to complete the mission of rescuing Qi Guoyuan and others, as long as he leaves the Daishan range, he will definitely lead the elite rearguard personally, and
Maybe some traps would be arranged for the pursuers to jump. Luo Shixin led the Beihai County soldiers to catch up, and there was a high probability of defeat.
But this is the strategy of using one's subordinates to attack the enemy's superior ones. Under normal circumstances, a two-legged man cannot outrun a four-legged war horse. While the Wagang army was entangled with the Beihai County soldiers, the Qi County soldiers and horses quickly circled around.
Cross the battlefield to intercept and kill the Niushan group of bandits led by Qi Guoyuan. Those guys were already crippled, and they relied on their breath to support themselves on the mountain. Once they are out of danger, no one will be willing to fight again. To deal with such frightened birds, seven hundred
There are more than enough cavalry.
Of course, if Qi Guoyuan's soldiers and horses suddenly become an elite division capable of traveling hundreds of miles a day, this strategy will definitely fail. But if Qi Guoyuan's Niushan Bandits have some potential as an elite division, they will not be defeated.
Everyone came all the way from Beihai to Lu County.
"As Zhong Jian said, I took off the armor and equipment of the armored cavalry and left them with Shixin and Yulin. Since we have invested money, let's just spend it all at once." Qin Shubao clapped his hands at each other and resolutely did so.
He made a decision, "Let's do the audit again and implement the details so that no one can see any flaws. I will send a letter to the mountain later, saying that I agree to the Wagang Army's suggestion and let the people from Kailu County go down the mountain."
road. But they have to ensure that Qi Guoyuan and others will not set foot in Qijun and Beihai again in the future!"
Turning his head, he looked at the reluctant Luo Shixin, "If you have the ability to directly defeat the Wagang Army, I won't stop you. But you can't lose any of your equipment and armor, and Beihai County can't suffer too much loss.
big!"
"Brother Shubao, aren't you bullying others?" Luo Shixin protested loudly.
"The one being bullied is you who don't like to think too much. How can a general only think about one person's happiness every day?" Qin Shubao smiled and punched Luo Shixin on the shoulder. Luo Shixin took a few steps back and squatted on the ground with his arms covered.
"My arm, oh, my arm was hurt by you, and I can't lift it these days!" He whined loudly, which did not attract any sympathy from everyone, but only aroused good-natured laughter. (To be continued.
