Chapter 1000: Brothers and sisters and brother-in-law
Duo Bie was a little confused. Lou Fan's army withdrew from Yunzhou City so easily?
This is unreasonable.
If it were him, he would definitely not give up such a great opportunity for victory. Even if he was not completely sure that he could swallow up all of Lou Fan's millions of troops, he would at least be able to tear off a layer of skin.
But now the front army has almost reached Caoshu City, and the rear army has left Yunzhou City for at least 200 miles, but the Jade Army has not even pursued or even harassed them.
So instead of breathing a sigh of relief, Duobie became even more worried.
People in the Central Plains have a saying that when things go wrong, there must be a demon. He felt that Lin Ye was that demon now, a demon that he could not guess or touch. God knew when this demon would bite him.
Therefore, when retreating, Duobie repeatedly ordered that all armies must march in an orderly manner and the distance between armies must remain consistent.
In particular, the cavalry on the left and right wings must not only protect the two wings from sudden attacks, but also dispatch as many rangers as possible to explore a wider area on both wings.
For seven or eight days in a row, I spent time in such unsettling tranquility.
After crossing the river, there are no dangerous places all the way to Caoshu City. It's a flat plain. Does the beauty still want to have a decisive battle with Lou Fan's cavalry on such terrain?
Unless Lin Ye is crazy, unless all beauties are crazy.
Even if the cowardly troops under Lin Ye's command are all cavalry, so what?
Since ancient times, the Loufan people have never lost in cavalry battles.
Moreover, when it comes to the strength of the cavalry, even if they are all cavalry, they are still far behind.
He was thinking this in his heart, but Duobei just couldn't be at ease. He didn't know what Lin Ye was planning for a while, and he couldn't be at ease for a while.
About seven or eight miles away from where Lou Fan's army was camping, on a high slope, Lin Ye sat in the dense grass and observed the movements of Lou Fan's army with clairvoyance.
"Don't underestimate this Duo."
Lin Ye put down his clairvoyance, and Ning Haitang, who was sitting next to him, nodded: "I didn't find any chance to make a surprise attack along the way. This Duobie is indeed quite capable. People say that Lou Fan is good at attacking and I am good at defense. From this point of view, Duobie is also good at defense.
A person who is very good at playing defense."
The two of them didn't even bring any personal soldiers. Only two of them reached a place so close to Lou Fan's army camp.
"The cavalry on both wings always maintain a distance that allows timely rescue and immediate attack."
Lin Ye said: "Looking at his central and rear armies, after walking for so many days, the armies were not in disorder at all. If Duobie was allowed to lead the army from the beginning instead of the prominent Zongzheng, the battle in Yunzhou might be more difficult than before.
More tragic."
Ning Haitang said: "Use a million troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians to form an iron barrel formation. If Duobie only insists on one thing, he is not far away from winning."
What Duo Bie must insist on is to take steps step by step and not rush on the road. He doesn't care what kind of chaos occurs in Lou Fan's country. As long as he can bring this army back, Lou Fan's country will still be there.
As for the princes vying for the throne, it doesn't matter whose side he should side with. As long as he can bring back millions of troops, who would dare not give him face as emperor?
Don't look at Zongzheng Xianhe and Zongzheng Lianhai who pointed out the position of General Zhenguo to this and that in order to win over all parties. As long as Duo Bie goes back, the position of General Zhenguo can only be his.
of.
It doesn't matter whether Zongzheng is prominent or someone else is in the position, Duobei is always a proper minister of the highest position.
Ning Haitang suddenly asked: "Did you never plan to deal with the Loufan people on the way from the beginning?"
Lin Ye pointed over there: "There is no chance to deal with them halfway. The Loufan people are warlike and they are walking home. This is different from when they attacked."
Ning Haitang immediately understood the meaning of Lin Ye's words.
If it is to attack other people's territory, facing a tragic battlefield with endless dead people, Lou Fan soldiers may still be war-weary, and they will be sneaky and sneaky when they are doing their best.
But now they are walking on their way home. Whoever dares to stop them from going home, they will definitely fight with the person who blocks them. At this moment, let alone the beauty, even if the gods stop them, they will fight their way out.
A bloody road home.
Ning Haitang asked: "Then where is the place you planned to fight this battle? It can't be Caoshu City."
Lin Ye nodded: "It's Caoshu City."
Ning Haitang said: "You can't find a chance to defeat the enemy on a plain with no danger to fall back on. What chance do you have in Caoshu City, which is well-defended?"
Lin Ye said: "It means the city is well defended."
Ning Haitang didn't even understand what Lin Ye was talking about. Caoshu City was the strongest city in Dongbo's southern border area. Not to mention how much effort the Dongbo people put in here, the efforts put in by the Yu Army after taking over were huge enough.
.
The place that was originally a strong city was completely transformed into a war fortress.
In fact, even in the Dayu Army, there are still people who still don't understand why Lin Ye gave up on Caoshu City so directly.
If you insist on defending Caoshu City, it will be like driving a nail into the Loufan people's retreat. If the Loufan people want to bypass Caoshu City, they will have to go to a more dangerous place.
Lin Ye directly abandoned Caoshu City, which resulted in a situation where the Loufan people could advance and retreat freely.
If Caoshu City is still in the hands of the Yujun, how easy will it be for the Loufan people to go back?
If someone said these seemingly reasonable things to Lin Ye in person, Lin Ye would definitely have no reaction at all. If Lin Ye argued with the person who said this, he would feel that he had lost.
War can never be fought by a group of people gathered around a map.
"What can you do in Caoshu City?"
Ning Haitang was keenly aware of Lin Ye's plan, but she couldn't figure out what could be in Caoshu City.
Ever since Lin Ye led his army in a sneak attack, the tunnels in Caoshu City should no longer be usable.
The tens of thousands of Lou Fan troops stationed in Caoshu City should have overturned Caoshu City more than once during this period.
Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Ye to arrange another surprise army in Caoshu City, unless those tens of thousands of Loufan people are blind.
"You just said..."
Lin Ye looked at the Loufan camp and said with a smile: "Duo Bie is an outlier among the Loufan people. This person is good at keeping... You are right, but there are not many such outliers among the Loufan people. Otherwise, they would still be called
What kind of alien?"
He pulled Ning Haitang: "Go back?"
Ning Haitang: "I won't go back until you explain clearly how you are going to fight."
Lin Ye: "Then just stay."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Ning Haitang is still used to this?
He got up and followed him.
He has no temper at all... Do we still want to fight here? This place is so far away from the million-strong Loufan army. If they fight, it will be like giving a big gift to the Loufan people, or a big gift package.
Ning Haitang has never been that kind of messy and messy. In her opinion, that is very childish and unlovable.
Neither of them came on horseback, and the goal on horseback was too big.
Based on the strength of the two of them, there is actually not much difference whether they ride or not. If there is a difference, it is that they can run faster than the horse.
After leaving, the two men quietly sneaked for dozens of miles and stopped to rest in a forest.
It's not far from where the Jade Army's cavalry team is stationed. Once here, there's no need to worry about being noticed by the Loufan people.
Seeing that Lin Ye still didn't want to say anything, Ning Haitang really didn't like Lin Ye anymore.
As soon as she reached out and grabbed Lin Ye's collar, Lin Ye seemed to have a premonition. He avoided it sideways and grabbed Ning Haitang's wrist. Ning Haitang also wanted to make a move. Lin Ye twisted Ning Haitang's arm.
Twist to the back.
He stood behind Ning Haitang, holding Ning Haitang's wrist with one hand, while the other hand went around dishonestly and hugged Ning Haitang's waist.
"If you have the ability to fight openly and honestly!"
"You were the one who attacked first."
"It's my fault for the sneak attack, and it's your fault for not fighting me openly."
"What kind of fallacy is this!"
Lin Ye just didn't let go, not because he didn't want to fight Ning Haitang, but because it felt good to hold him like this...
Ning Haitang struggled a few times, but was unable to break free from the clutches. As his waist twisted, he clearly felt a sudden protrusion from the back of his buttocks.
So she didn't dare to move.
She had suffered from this posture...more than once.
"I did do some tricks in Caoshu City, and the Loufan people are indeed not good at defense. As long as Duobie's retreating troops are still heading towards Caoshu City, it means they haven't discovered the tricks I did in Caoshu City.
.”
"What kind of hands and feet are they?"
Lin Ye also felt his slightly embarrassing reaction at this time, so he moved back slightly.
When he moved, Ning Haitang was obviously relieved.
"I have tampered with the gate of Caoshu City, and the Loufan people won't be able to tell it easily even if they check it every day."
Hearing these words, Ning Haitang frowned slightly: "Even so, facing enemies several times larger than ourselves, the Loufan people are still good at fighting, and even if there is something wrong with the city gate, they can still stick to the city wall."
Shucheng, why do you think you can win?"
Lin Ye said: "Whatever you think, Lou Fan also thinks."
Ning Haitang said: "Even if the enemy may be lax, don't you think that if you dare to raid Caoshu City with a small number of troops, you can really defeat it? Moreover, even if you defeat it, how can you guarantee that you will not be trapped by the Loufan people?"
In the city?”
Lin Ye said: "What you are talking about is indeed very dangerous. I have never been willing to personally participate in dangerous things."
Ning Haitang: "So?"
Lin Ye said: "So I let your eldest brother go."
Ning Haitang: "???!!!"
She suddenly came back to her senses, faced Lin Ye, raised her head, and stared straight into Lin Ye's eyes.
Lin Ye: "I... I'm just kidding. How could I let your eldest brother lead troops to such a dangerous place alone?"
Ning Haitang: "You still have a little..."
Lin Ye: "I asked Xumi Jinghong to go with your elder brother."
Ning Haitang: "Lin Ye!"
Lin Ye: "Here he is."
Ning Haitang: “We are no longer at odds with each other.”
Lin Ye: "Why do you think your eldest brother can't win this battle? Is it because, since you were a child, you have always thought that you are better than him? How can your eldest brother possibly do something that you are not sure about?
Are you absolutely sure?"
Ning Haitang didn't say anything, but that's what she thought. If this battle was fought according to Lin Ye's words, even she wouldn't be sure.
Lin Ye said: "What if I tell you, it was your elder brother's idea how to fight this battle?"
Ning Haitang's expression suddenly changed.
Lin Ye said: "It was not my idea to abandon Caoshu City from the beginning to the end, but your elder brother's idea. Let him lead the troops to station behind the Loufan people. This was not my idea but his.
.”
"Before I sent out the army, I received a handwritten letter from your eldest brother. He carefully thought about his plan and told me. The last sentence of the letter was... You should understand that if you want to defeat the Loufan people in Dongbo, you must rely on the front.
In a battle, there is not even a 20% chance of winning.
Ning Haitang remained silent.
Lin Ye said: "I don't agree, but..."
He slowly exhaled and said in a very complicated tone: "The Supreme Saint has agreed."
Ning Haitang's expression changed again.
Lin Ye said: "Not many people know where the Supreme Saint is, but your eldest brother must be one of them, because the Supreme Saint has gone north, and your eldest brother is leading troops in the north, so others don't know.
He must know."
Ning Haitang lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"So, for your brother's safety and to win this battle, the two of us have to lead the troops separately."
Lin Ye said solemnly: "After your elder brother starts the raid, you and I will each lead an army to attack the two wings of Lou Fan."
Ning Haitang raised his head, looked into Lin Ye's eyes and hummed.
