Devil’s Advent

People are refreshed on happy occasions, and Li Fusheng at this time gives people such a feeling.

Zheng Fan leads troops to fight, and more, he still enjoys the sense of dominance of riding horses and galloping thousands of horses and horses to charge and move according to his own will. In short, it is to pretend to be aggressive.

Li Fusheng is not, Li Fusheng is the kind who likes to kill very purely.

The blind man once said that a person's eyes are the most difficult to lie, and the blood in Li Fusheng's eyes is already crazily interpreting his desire for blood at this moment.

"Zheng Shoubei, come with me."

This is actually a kind of show of favor. First, it will give you a better understanding. After all, although Zheng Fan had good results in the past, he fought in blitzkrieg and guerrilla warfare, and he also met those stupid wolf soldiers.

The second is to take you to mix your qualifications. Although it is also a credit to sit in the rear and adjust the affairs of the city, in the traditional cognition and perspective of the Yan people, only the bloody military exploits are the most reliable capital for promotion, and the rest of the credits will inevitably be inferior.

This is just like in the eyes of many older generations in later generations, it is a truth that other industries except civil servants are part-time jobs.

To be honest, Zheng Fan really wanted to see what a tens of thousands of battles would be like. Besides, there would be no trouble if there were blind people working in the city, so he immediately bowed his hands and said:

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Ha ha."

Li Fusheng walked out of the door, and the lazy beast immediately stood up, walked up to Li Fusheng and bent its front knee.

Li Fusheng turned over and sat on it,

ordered:

"Pass my military order, the army will move out!"

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

Outside the south gate, a branch of Northern Army cavalry was marching in an orderly manner. It was impossible for 20,000 cavalry to carry out combat missions, all piled up together and swarmed in one direction.

Li Fusheng personally led 3,000 cavalry as the central army, and the six guerrilla generals under his command each led nearly 3,000 cavalry and marched there according to the directions reported by the sentry cavalry.

If there is an aerial camera above at this time, you can see a total of seven fast-moving shadows in this area from Chuzhou City to the south.

Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng naturally followed Li Fusheng's central army. In fact, the 2,500 cavalry in Green Willow Fort should belong to Li Fusheng's temporary personal barracks, but the soldiers in Green Willow Fort have been busy all day Evening hadn't rested yet, and secondly, Li Fusheng had to take care of the fighting desire of his soldiers.

A truly powerful army must be a confident army. They will not be afraid of war, they are eager for war, and they are happy when they hear war.

Liang Cheng has been paying attention to observing the surroundings, constantly ordering the cavalry to shuttle back and forth in each team, ensuring the timeliness of command.

The combat methods of cavalry are actually very rich, and they are much more free than infantry. At the same time, their mobility allows them to gain more opportunities on the battlefield, but how to command cavalry to fight well is a great knowledge.

Obviously, regardless of whether Li Fusheng is mentally ill like the blind man said, his military command quality is very high.

This is not something that can be obtained on paper, but something that has been learned in the desert for many years fighting with the barbarian masters of the previous generation of cavalry.

Previously, there were two reasons for staying in Chuzhou City for two or three days, regardless of political elements:

One is to obtain supplies. Because of the long-distance raid, the supplies carried by the troops are not very rich;

The second is to cultivate horsepower. War horses are expensive and expensive. After a long-distance raid, they must be raised, otherwise the loss will be great.

However, after recuperating, he came to the pillow when he fell asleep, and a soldier appeared in front of him.

Unlike Zheng Shoubei, who lives in a small family and lives carefully, Li Fusheng is obviously more domineering.

The first reaction to seeing the enemy is not to measure the strength of the opponent and the possible losses of one's own side.

Instead there is only one word:

Dry!

At this time, Li Fusheng had just listened to the report of a messenger, and immediately scolded with a smile:

"Straight mother thief, these gangsters actually retreated by themselves!"

Zheng Fan was right next to Li Fusheng. At this moment, it was naturally not a question-and-answer session.

But Li Fusheng's mood seems to be because of the arrival of this military newspaper. First, he was a little disdainful, and second, he relaxed. He turned his head and shouted to Zheng Fan:

"I don't know where this army came from, but it definitely can't be from the north. It is estimated that they don't know the news that Chuzhou City has changed hands. They moved here stupidly in the morning. It should be aware of it now. It’s not right, it’s getting closer to Qingshan County in the southwest.”

"Isn't this purposely attacking the army that took back Chuzhou City?"

Including Zheng Fan, most of the common people and dignitaries in Chuzhou thought that the cadre army that suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Chuzhou City was the king's master who came here to fight Yangou.

But it seems that this is not the case.

What is the composition of this army and where did it come from? I still don't know for a while, but I saw that the other party was foolishly marching towards Chuzhou City before, and now it started to panic and started to move closer to a nearby county. In terms of performance,

This should be just... a dry army passing by.

It's no wonder that Chuzhou City fell too quickly, and it fell into the hands of the Zhenbei Army without making any decent resistance. isolated from the outside world.

The sentry cavalry of the Zhenbei Army are masters who can fight against the barbarian warriors in the desert without losing the wind. How could the sentry cavalry of the Qianguo army be their opponents?

What's more, the people of Qianguo didn't expect that the people of Yan skipped three sides and came here directly, and they took down Chuzhou City with lightning speed.

Naturally, it is impossible to block all news with this kind of isolation, and some news will definitely be passed on, but in this era, the transmission of news itself has a lag.

At the same time, when the army is marching, the timeliness of receiving messages will be greatly reduced.

In short,

Due to various reasons, this 30,000-strong army almost crashed into Chuzhou City like a savior.

Come to think of it, the general of that army should have noticed something was wrong. No matter how stupid the general is, he also knows that when marching, he must divide the front army into the rear army and the middle army, and send out sentry cavalry to expand the field of vision. He even sent people to Chuzhou in advance The other side of the city informed Chuzhou City to prepare for the reception of the passing army tonight.

Then, the other party should have found that the people he sent to Chuzhou City and the sentry cavalry who had been sent out, but they didn’t come back after going out, and they had a premonition that after something happened, out of a general’s instinct, they chose to go to a nearby county town that could be echoed. move closer.

"Hehe, I'm not a cat, how can I leave it behind after being teased by it?"

Li Fusheng continued:

"Send the order, the whole army speeds up!"

Zheng Fan knew that this was an attempt to stop the opponent before he approached Qingshan County.

Cavalry, only in the wild, can exert the greatest combat effectiveness and gain the greatest advantage. Although Zheng Fan in Qingshan County has never been there, in this era, the county must have a city wall. The city wall of that county is not very tall, and it will still cause headaches for the Zhenbei Army.

The reason why they chose the big leap strategy is that they don’t want to gnaw at the important city of the Chinese people on three sides. Even if they really want to attack the city, they have to attack the upper capital of the country.

When attacking the capital, no matter how many people died, no matter how much Yan Erlang's life was consumed, he didn't think it was a loss.

Under Li Fusheng's order, the whole army began to speed up, and no longer cared about horsepower.

finally,

The messenger from the front came to report that the former army had discovered the opponent's formation.

Li Fusheng immediately ordered the two guerrilla generals in front of the attack to lead their troops to outflank the past, preventing the opponent from continuing to move closer to Qingshan County.

"Hehe, I've caught up."

Li Fusheng was in a good mood, but he was actually a little worried if he didn't catch up with the Qianjun entering the city.

One of the biggest weaknesses of the Zhenbei Army is that they lack experience in siege, and it can even be said that they have almost no experience.

After all, apart from a city where the royal court is located, the barbarian tribes in the desert have no cities at all.

Finally, the Chinese army also arrived.

What Zheng Fan saw was that the opponent's army formation was actually very neat. Although most of them were infantry, they still didn't panic too much when facing the cavalry.

Spearmen were in front and on both sides, with shield soldiers in the middle, and crossbowmen and archers inside, and the few cavalry on the other side were placed behind.

This is what Zheng Fan, a rookie on the battlefield, saw.

Although he has fought several battles, Zheng Fan only commanded the battle of pulling out the fortress, or charging the city gate, and even the battle of defeating the wolf soldiers was personally commanded by Liang Cheng, and Zheng Fan only acted as a follower. Just a cavalryman.

However, even so, Zheng Fan also felt that the army in front of him was unusual. This formation was very anti-riding at first glance.

"My lord, the opponent should have divided the 30,000 army into three parts, in the shape of a character." Liang Cheng said to Zheng Fan, "This way of forming an array can facilitate mutual support, and if the number of arrows is sufficient, mutual support can also be carried out." suppression."

Zheng Fan only saw the front row, but Liang Cheng already had an insight into the opponent's formation.

It's like the God's perspective of watching a football game in the middle of the field or in front of the TV is very different from the perspective of a player playing on the field.

Excellent generals can achieve an effect similar to "opening the eyes of the sky" by observing details.

Li Fusheng glanced at Liang Cheng in surprise, and said:

"Zhiniang thief, who is this dry general? He is a master who knows how to fight."

With that said, Li Fusheng pointed to Liang Cheng again and asked:

"Do you know what he means by that?"

"Stick and wait for help." Liang Cheng replied.

"Yes, stand by and wait for help."

Because the two lines of cavalry in front of the attack caught up to the opponent in time, and at the same time cut the opponent's back, this made the opposing general of the Qian Kingdom choose to wait in formation on the spot.

The opponent did not choose to attack the nearly 6,000 Yan State cavalry to open the road to Qingshan County, even if Qingshan County is not far ahead.

Because the opponent is cavalry, and there are mostly infantry on my side, it is a bit difficult to break through the opponent's block in time. The most important thing is that the generals of the Qian State on the opposite side should have seen these two Yan troops who cut back as soon as they appeared. The cavalry is just the front army, and there should be more Yan Guo cavalry galloping on the way.

Once you take the initiative to launch an attack first, it is easy to cause the opposite side of the offensive to be driven back by the Yan cavalry. disaster!

"Pass down the order, let Sun Guyi and Yue Yuchen each send a thousand riders to test it out."

Li Fusheng's order was passed on quickly,

Immediately afterwards,

In the originally relatively static battle situation,

Two thousand cavalry teams broke away from their own army formation and began to approach the Qian army formation.

Zheng Fan couldn't help taking another look at Li Fusheng. The commander-in-chief might really have a mental illness, but his fighting mind was still exceptionally clear.

"My lord, there are two purposes for this move. One is to test the opponent's quality and see if it is a show. The other is that since the opponent has set up three army formations in the shape of a character, we have to pick and choose which one to see." Weaker, easier to swallow."

"Zheng Shoubei." Li Fusheng shouted.

"My lord?" Zheng Fan was listening to a class, when he heard this, he turned to look at Li Fusheng.

"Is this person your slave?"

"Um, yes."

Thinking about it, it should be because Li Fusheng heard Liang Cheng calling himself "Master".

Yan country has a very strong ethos of slavery, oh no, to be precise, in this era, slaves and generals are not only in Yan country, but basically in any country.

To a certain extent, the seven generals under Zhenbeihou's mansion are actually the generals of Zhenbeihou's Li family.

"Zheng Shoubei is really good at both civil and martial arts. This slave is well trained."

"..." Zheng Fan.

Nima,

Obviously, I was listening to Liang Cheng's lecture like a primary school student,

As a result, from Li Fusheng's point of view, he was deliberately testing his slaves.

Liang Cheng clasped his hands and said:

"My master taught me well."

"Yes, yes, then I will test you for your master. How can we break this situation? Since the other party chooses to stick to it and wait for help, there is not much time left for us."

"My lord is joking, the other party can stick to it and wait for help. Is it possible that our side is going deep alone?"

"Why?" Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes.

"During the march earlier, my lord should have sent messengers to contact other nearby soldiers and horses."

"Okay, good, good."

Li Fusheng nodded in satisfaction.

The general of the Qian State on the opposite side is choosing to stick to it and wait for help, because that general should think that this is the territory of the Qian State, and the support of the Qian State should be easy.

At that time, whether it is to bite the Yan State cavalry or cooperate with reinforcements to force the Yan State cavalry back.

But this time, the Yan army had 250,000 cavalry going south. Although the soldiers and horses dispersed when they entered Chu County, there must be other soldiers and horses around here.

The distance and location of the ministries on both sides may not be clear to the middle and lower level sergeants, but Li Fusheng, as the leader of the army along the way, is naturally clear.

After all, even if the Yan army going south was dispersed, they were not a group of mad dogs out of their cages but a group of wolves from the north.

Wolves are best at cooperating.

The general of the Gan country on the opposite side was thinking of standing still and waiting for reinforcements, but he didn't know that there might be more wolves nearby than the reinforcements.

"Zheng Shoubei, what is his military position?" Li Fusheng asked.

"The lieutenant under Cui Liubao." Zheng Fan replied.

"Oh." Li Fusheng nodded.

While the two were talking,

The two thousand-man cavalry sent out had already approached the Qianjun army formation, and the Qianjun army formation immediately became tense.

Li Fusheng's eyes narrowed slightly, Liang Cheng was also watching intently,

Zheng Shoubei, who was sandwiched between the two, looked at the appearance of the two people around him, and immediately looked at them seriously, staring until his eyes became a little sore.

Naturally, the two thousand-man riders were not going to charge. The previous charge had stirred up a lot of dust and created a lot of momentum, but they reined in the safe area, and then turned the horse's head. He opened his bow and set up an arrow, and began to throw.

The accuracy of throwing is naturally much worse, but the ability of riding and shooting, no matter how good you are, it is not for you to compete with infantry with complete arms.

The rain of arrows fell quickly, and there was a commotion in the army phalanx.

In fact, there are not many kills, unless some people are particularly unlucky, but for ordinary people, they will subconsciously feel afraid when someone throws a snowball at you, let alone an arrow.

The two thousand cavalry rushed back and forth twice again, still only shooting while maintaining a safe distance, and archers and crossbowmen in the opposite army also began to fight back.

The casualties of each other are actually very sporadic, but you still have to fight back, otherwise the momentum on your side will drop, and you can't fight back just by being beaten. This kind of pressure is really too great for soldiers.

"Om! Om! Om! Om! Om!"

Just as the two thousand cavalry teams were about to withdraw from the battle and return to their own formation, a piercing sound suddenly came from the opponent's formation.

Bed Crossbow!

There is a bed crossbow in the opponent's army!

For a moment, a string of crossbow arrows who wished they were taller than ordinary people shot at a cavalry team of thousands of people.

There were a total of five crossbow arrows, three of which fell to the ground, and one shot hit the horse of a knight of the Zhenbei Army, directly piercing his horse's crotch, and the horse's body seemed to be torn apart, and the knight on it fell to the ground. On the ground, fortunately, the colleague beside him had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and reached out in time to grab the opponent and put him on his horse.

There was also a bed crossbow that shot through three Yan army knights in a row, and blood spattered for a while.

There were bursts of cheers immediately in the army formation, and the morale soared!

However,

For this scene, for the life and death of his subordinates, Li Fusheng didn't even blink his eyes, and even showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. He reached out and touched the hair of the beast under his crotch,

Seems to be interested again, and asked:

"What do you see?"

Liang Cheng replied calmly:

"The army formation directly in front of us is the most stable, there is no turmoil in the formation, and the timing of the counterattack is also very good.

The two army formations at the back and the one on the west side were alright, the soldiers were panicked but not chaotic.

Only the army formation on the east side was obviously compressed, and the crossbowmen in the center of the formation fought back in a messy and irregular manner.

Three army formations, three levels, this cadre army is not an independent force, it is more like a temporary group of several companies patched together. "

Li Fusheng listened and said:

"Then our army will attack from the army formation on the east side first?"

Liang Cheng shook his head and said:

"Master has taught me that what is false is true, what is true is false, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and extremely deceitful.

The main general of the opposing army did not choose to force a breakthrough at the beginning, but set up the formation on the spot, which proves that he is a general who uses troops cautiously.

Even if it's an army assembled temporarily, it's impossible to leave such an obvious flaw and gap here while setting up such a formation.

Inside the military formation on the east side, there should be a backup. "

Li Fusheng stretched out his hand, and suddenly patted Zheng Fan on the shoulder.

The strength was a bit strong, and Zheng Fan, an eighth-rank martial artist, was almost photographed off his horse.

"Zheng Shoubei, you really opened my eyes, you are both civil and military, you are really a talent!"

"..." Zheng Shoubei.

"Sure enough, Lord Hou is right. No, I think Lord Hou has misjudged him. If Lord Hou knows that Zheng Shoubei has the ability to be gentle and courteous, according to Master Hou's temper, he will fight with that Nanhou." If you fight, I will also snatch Zheng Shoubing from you."

Hehe, hehe...

Zheng Fan blushed a little. What happened last night, he was actually making soy sauce, and the blind man and Si Niang were doing it;

Just now, it was Liang Cheng who said that he was just learning.

People who cheat will always feel guilty.

Zheng Fan said:

"Your Excellency is absurd, and I'm just talking on paper, talking on paper."

"What's the point of talking about war on paper?" Li Fusheng asked.

"Um..." Zheng Fan.

Liang Cheng said at this moment:

"My lord, that is a military book written by my master himself."

"..." Zheng Fan.

"Book of war? Oh, then I'm really interested. Our warrior Qiu Ba can also write a book. It's not simple. What's the name of this book of war?"

Liang Cheng replied solemnly:

"Zheng Zi's Art of War."
