In fact, Liu Gu is a capable commander. Historically, he defeated Li Quan's Northern Army. However, his stubborn policy is not in line with Bai Xiaowen's interests. Even if Vladimir doesn't engage him, Bai Xiaowen will find a way.
To transfer him away from Huaidong, the methods used will be much gentler.
Sigurdlifa said: "Master, Liu Qian died suddenly, what should we do?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "After I received the news in Lin'an Mansion, I immediately ordered Shi Miyuan to make two preparations. In less than three days, the new Huaidong system envoy Zhao Fan will arrive; and I also got the Huaidong Army
The troop deployment documents and military symbols."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "Liu Kuan's sudden death is actually an opportunity. The enemy's meticulous work will definitely get wind of this information. If we spread the word again about withdrawing the troops and stand by, the enemy will definitely come to seize Tongzhou. When the time comes, we will wait for work.
If you attack him unprepared, you can kill the enemy chief and achieve success in one fell swoop."
Bai Xiaowen explained the implementation details of this strategy in detail about the four heavenly kings, especially Abaddon and Sigdrifa.
In the future, when it comes to strategy and managing multiple worlds, Bai Xiaowen has no skills to do everything himself. Therefore, he needs to cultivate the ability of the Four Heavenly Kings as war decision-makers as soon as possible.
In the past few days, Bai Xiaowen was quite satisfied with the actions of the Four Heavenly Kings in accumulating strength, except for Vladimir's reckless move.
This is because the four heavenly kings have just acquired human wisdom and are not yet very experienced in dealing with things. After some training, they will definitely be able to stand alone.
Well...except the butcher.
…
The next day, the news of the sudden death of Liu Gu, the Southern Army's Huaidong commander, was spread to Li Quan's ears by the Northern Army.
After Li Quan found out the truth, he was very excited. He used to rely on the Southern Song Dynasty court for food and grass supplies. Now after turning against each other, he had no source. He could only rely on looting after capturing the city. His previous savings could only last a few months.
, of course it is necessary to resolve it quickly.
Liu Gu died suddenly, and the Southern army was leaderless. It was a great opportunity for Li Quan to advance!
Otherwise, if the delay continues and the Southern Song Dynasty sends a new coach, this battle will become difficult to fight again.
…
That night, Li Quan personally led his army to attack Tongzhou City at night.
On Bai Xiaowen's side, through troop transfer documents and military symbols, Abaddon was temporarily promoted to the "capital commander" of the Huaidong Army, temporarily taking over Liu Qian's duties, and set a trap in Tongzhou City.
Li Quan's army invaded Tongzhou City without much effort, but Li Quan himself had doubts and did not enter the city himself. Instead, he sent his generals Yan Tong and Xing De to enter the city first.
As a result, the Song army ambushed on both sides of the city, cut off the middle road, closed the city gate, and cut Li Quan's troops into two pieces.
Li Quan urged the Chinese army to break through the gate as soon as possible, but the Butcher took the plague beast and a group of stitch monsters and released poisonous gas in front of the city gate, forming an insurmountable chasm.
It should be noted that undead creatures such as the Butcher and the Plague Beast were all said by Abaddon in advance to be demon puppets summoned by Taoist masters to assist in the battle; including the bone clan troops accumulated by the Four Heavenly Kings in the past few days, they were all said to be Taoist
The method of spreading beans into soldiers.
As for the Taoist master, of course he is "Taoist Master Lu Wang" who is dressed in a white gown and full of fairy spirit.
This deception method was taught by Bai Xiaowen. He has always believed that these thousands of skeleton soldiers have been hiding it. Sooner or later, when they are exposed, they will take the initiative to come up with an excuse to let the indigenous friendly forces in the spirit world accept and understand the existence of the skeleton soldiers.
That's the best policy.
Because of this, the officers and soldiers of the Song Army did not feel panic. Instead, their morale was boosted by the help of Taoist masters, and they blocked the leading troops of Yan Tong and Xing De in the city.
Li Quanqing knew that he had fallen into the trap and saw several fierce generals in the Song army, rushing left and right in the battle formation. They were unstoppable. Knowing that they were outmatched, he hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.
These fierce generals are, of course, Sigurdryfa, Vladimir and Snake Lady.
Even if they don't reveal their true identities as Valkyries and vampire lords, Sigdrifa and Vladimir can still exert 60 to 70% of their strength in their humanoid forms, which is enough in a war of this intensity.
.
When Li Quan withdrew north and prepared to return to the camp, he found that the camp had already been captured by the Song army. The original defensive facilities such as fences, antlers, and trenches had become obstacles to Li Quan's army.
With the fierce pursuers behind him, Li Quan was forced to abandon the camp and escape eastward. This escape route was also in Bai Xiaowen's calculations.
In the dangerous section of the road, Bai Xiaowen used Taoism in advance to create a large swamp area, causing Li Quan's army to fall into a quagmire and find themselves in a dilemma.
Li Quanhe's leader, who possesses Gang Qi and other energy, can float in the air for a short time and is not afraid of the mud. However, the soldiers under his command cannot even reach ordinary templates, have no spiritual power, let alone fly, and can only fall into the mud.
, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.
The Song army caught up with them, and with a hail of arrows, all the soldiers under Li Quan's command became living targets.
Li Quan and others had no choice but to abandon the army and flee.
…
Li Quan and his group of more than a dozen people, all of whom were disheveled, fled in a hurry.
"Commander, this place is twenty miles away from the battlefield. It should be safe." Li Quan's general Guo'an Yong said breathlessly.
Li Quan sighed: "If the 30,000-strong army is wiped out in one day, even if I escape with my life, what's the use?"
Guoan Yong said quickly: "Commander, don't be depressed, this battle is not the fault of the commander."
"Yes, the Song army in this battle is too weird. There are many monsters and puppets to help, and there are also a few strong men with bottomless strength!" Another general Zhang Lin also comforted Li Quan, "Wait until we return to Chuzhou.
, I met my aunt and it’s not too late to regroup and fight again.”
"Aunt" is the name given to Yang Miaozhen by the old Red Coat Army troops.
Li Quan took a breath: "That's the only thing."
The group advanced another few hundred meters when suddenly Li Quan frowned, his eyes narrowed, and he waved for the others to stop.
Beside the road ahead, on the branches of a big tree, sat a young man in a white shirt. His clothes were fluttering, his appearance was handsome, and he seemed to be surrounded by an invisible light, which made people forget to see him.
"Commander, why do you stop?"
"This young man in front of me is a young master from some unknown family. Don't get involved, sir. It's important to get on with your journey."
The generals under his command persuaded him one after another.
Li Quan's expression was solemn. He looked at the young man in white shirt in front of him and vaguely felt that this young man's appearance and posture were extraordinary and he was definitely not an ordinary young man.
"Are you Li Quan?"
The young man in the white shirt was naturally Bai Xiaowen. When giving out his insights, he asked questions.
Li Quan said cautiously: "Exactly. Young man, who are you and why are you here? You still know my name."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I came just to kill you."
