The Grandmaster Strategist

The two armies faced off, with no outcome in sight. Yong General Jing Chi rushed thousands of miles to attack the Northern Han army's rear. Long Ting quickly led his guards to meet him, but Jing Chi could not win.

While the battle was in full swing, Princess Jiaping led the Daizhou army to attack the Queen of Qi's army. The Daizhou army was brave and good at fighting, but the King of Qi was defeated, so he tried his best to break out. The king personally cut off the enemy and the whole army retreated.

In this battle, the King of Qi's army lost 50,000, Jingchi's army lost 9,000, Longting's flying army lost 10,000, Daizhou's army suffered almost no damage, corpses were everywhere, and Qinshui was stained with blood.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji III"

Thirty miles away, in the mountains between Qinyuan and Anze, on a repaired mountain ridge, more than a thousand Yong troops were waiting in a stronghold built against the mountain. At the highest point of the stronghold, a scholar in Tsing Yi and a The Confucian generals in green robes are playing chess. A black Go piece landed gently on the edge of a piece of white pieces, trapping the big white dragon in it. Xuan Song smiled and looked at the frowning Lord Supervisor. When it comes to chess, this Lord Supervisor is far from the best. My opponent, but only when playing chess, Master Jiang will show some childishness. However, Xuan Song's mind was not on chess. This time, King Qi's army was directed towards Qinyuan, but the military supervisor persuaded His Highness to leave all the infantry behind to renovate roads and build fortifications from Jishi to Anze and Qinyuan. Multiple lines of defense were set up in the mountains. If you asked him why he spent all his troops on defense, he would only say, "Don't worry about victory, think about defeat first." Everyone just felt that the Lord Supervisor was too cautious, but after thinking about the defeat a few days ago, and since King Qi had already agreed, no one objected. Xuan Song felt most confused. Originally, the confrontation with Long Tingfei needed a general the most, but Jiang Zhe did not. He kept himself here. A few days ago, he ordered himself to arrange a defense line. These days, the defense line became thicker, so he simply forced himself to play chess, as if he had nothing to do. But Xuan Song couldn't be as relaxed as Jiang Zhe, but he had a deep nature and knew that even though he was extremely anxious, he couldn't make the Lord Supervisor hand over the details, so he simply killed him to pieces on the chessboard.

I looked at the chessboard where I was completely defeated, and I was thinking about whether I should let the little straight son send a message to me, and then win a few games, but after thinking about it, I realized that the style of chess was different and it was too easy for others to see through, so I finally gave up. At this time, Riding Juechen, there was a young knight immediately, it was Chi Ji who had just arrived a few days ago. I asked him to pay attention to the military situation ahead. Now that he is coming quickly, it must be that the changes he envisioned have already occurred. I threw down the chess pieces with a smile. Chi Ji dismounted and walked closer, bowing and saying: "Sir, the military report from the front is coming. General Jing Chi has joined forces with His Highness King Qi. If the battle continues, our army may win miserably. But we As expected, we found traces of the Daizhou Army."

I waved Chi Ji aside and looked at Xuan Song, who was frowning and thinking hard, and said, "Does General Xuan know which cavalry is the strongest in the world?"

Xuan Song smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say this. Our Dayong Iron Cavalry and the Northern Han Dynasty's Knights seem to be similar. There is no need to mention Southern Chu and Shu. Unless they are the cavalry of the barbarians outside the Great Wall, they can be said to be the strongest in the world."

I said to Xiao Shunzi: "Remove the chessboard and bring the map."

Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and put the chessboard away, handed it to Chi Ji to take, placed a map on the square table, and spread it out gently.

I pointed to an obvious sign above and said: "The strongest cavalry in the world is the Daizhou Army. Whether it is running or charging, there are few in the world who can defeat it. Over the years, the barbarians have been defeated every year, all because of the Daizhou Army." It is getting stronger and stronger, but if a tree is still in the forest, the wind will destroy it, so why can Daizhou Army be safe and sound?"

Xuan Song frowned and said: "The leader of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Lin family of Daizhou are related by marriage. Since the Lin family has no intention of rebelling, how could the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty do harm?"

I shook my head and said: "Although there is this reason, there is also the most important reason, which is that the Daizhou Army has the biggest flaw. This flaw destined that the Lin family would not be able to achieve hegemony based on the Daizhou Army. Therefore, no matter in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, It was the Northern Han Dynasty that established the country, and in the end they all acquiesced to the Lin family's separatist rule of Daizhou."

Xuan Song said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details."

I smiled and said: "Actually, General Xuan may not be ignorant of it, but it may not be sufficient. Although the Daizhou Army is strong,

But it is very exclusive. The Daizhou Army is maintained by blood and loyalty, so if you are not from Daizhou, it is impossible to obtain a high position in the Daizhou Army. Moreover, the Daizhou Army is only interested in defending the homeland and the territory, so whether it is barbarian invasion or northern When the Han army attacked, the Daizhou army resisted to the death, but if they wanted the Daizhou army to go out and attack, most of the soldiers would be indifferent. Therefore, as long as Daizhou is not invaded, Daizhou is the best friend. This is why the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty finally tried his best to make a good relationship with the Lin family of Daizhou and promised not to use Daizhou army. Just because the Daizhou Army cannot be easily mobilized. Therefore, although the Northern Han Dynasty owned Daizhou, the world did not regard the Daizhou Army as the combat power of the Northern Han Dynasty. Just because the Daizhou Army did not leave the country, it was already an inherent impression in people's minds. "

Xuan Song frowned because he couldn't understand the reason for Jiang Zhe's words.

I sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I have to admire the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty. Since Daizhou surrendered, he not only kept his promise and never mobilized Daizhou's army, but also made good friends with Daizhou in every possible way. Whenever there was a disaster in the state, he used the national treasury to provide relief. Every year, he rewarded the army of Daizhou with rich gold and silk. More than ten years ago, many forces in the Central Plains fought in a melee and invaded the Northern Han Dynasty several times. They even directed their troops towards Jinyang City. The leader of the Han Dynasty did not mobilize the Daizhou Army, because the Central Plains had not yet been pacified at that time. As long as Jinyang was defended, the invading forces would have no leeway and had to retreat. Therefore, when the Northern Han Dynasty was about to live and die, Daizhou and The relationship between the Northern Han Dynasty and the imperial court has reached the closest stage, so it is possible to persuade the Daizhou Army to send troops to help the Northern Han Army encircle and annihilate our army."

Hearing this, Xuan Song's face turned livid, and he said solemnly: "Although the Daizhou Army is powerful, after all, the power of a state is very limited, and it may not be able to play any role."

I pointed to Yanmen on the map and said: "The Daizhou army will not go out in full force, just because the time for the barbarians to go south is coming soon. Although the barbarians have been hit hard by the snow disaster this time, the invasion will definitely be more ferocious, although later The force was insufficient, but the initial attack must have been very fierce, so the 25,000 Daizhou army could only go south to 15,000 people at most, and the only one who could serve as the commander-in-chief was Princess Jiaping. She was both the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Daizhou army. The commander-in-chief of the state army is the unmarried wife of Long Tingfei, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Han Dynasty army. Only she can cooperate with Long Tingfei to annihilate our army. I have already predicted that the Daizhou army will definitely fight. If not, then Long Tingfei will fight. There is no explanation for Fei’s various arrangements.”

Xuan Song stood up and said: "Since Lord Supervisor of the Army knew that Daizhou Army would send troops, why didn't you tell His Highness that His Highness only had 40,000 cavalry, and General Jing could only have 70,000 at most. The Northern Han Army already had 10 troops. With an army of ten thousand, plus the Daizhou Army that looks like tigers and wolves, isn’t it true that Your Highness is already defeated? Why do you sit back and watch this happen?”

I glanced at Xuan Song lightly and continued, "Does General Xuan know what the enemy and our troops want?"

Xuan Song suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Of course we have to defeat the enemy. Our army and the Northern Han army have sworn to be incompatible. If the Northern Han army is defeated, it will be the danger of national subjugation. If our army is defeated, we will be powerless for a few years." Peep north.”

I shook my head and said: "What General Xuan said is not entirely true. The Northern Han army wants to win, but they don't want a tragic victory. Dayong is strong and the Northern Han national strength is insufficient. If we lose, we will be defeated in just a few years." When they make a comeback, the Northern Han army will be defeated miserably, and they may not be able to go south within twenty years. Now the struggle for hegemony has reached the most critical moment. If the Northern Han Dynasty's national power drops suddenly, even if I, Dayong, are dead, others will attack, so the Northern Han Dynasty has reached the most critical moment. What the leader of the Han Dynasty and Long Tingfei wanted was a big victory, and the less losses, the better. So our army continued to march north after the defeat of Anze, which meant entering the battlefield planned by Long Tingfei. He wanted to Qinyuan annihilates the main force of our army. It is best to capture or kill His Royal Highness King Qi. In this way, Dayong is injured and the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty is intact. They can watch Dayong fall into a entangled battle with Nanchu. And they can rest and recuperate, and when Dayong is exhausted and its people are weak, the Northern Han army can move south and west to capture the territory of Dayong."

Xuan Song nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said: "That's why Long Tingfei mobilized the Daizhou Army, just because the 100,000 cavalry in his hands cannot surely defeat our army."

I said: "Not only that, how could Long Tingfei know General Jing's whereabouts? He deliberately left no reserve force and attacked His Highness the King of Qi with his entire army, tempting General Jing to immediately join the battle regardless of the fatigue of the army after a long journey."

Xuan Song asked: "What if General Jing guesses that Long Tingfei lures him to attack?"

I shook my head and said: "Let's not talk about whether Jing Chi can see through Long Tingfei's mind. If General Jing does not attack, His Highness King Qi will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if the two armies join forces, victory will not be guaranteed, so General Jing will definitely attack. Yes, besides, the Jinyang army cannot move lightly, and there are mostly infantry. General Jing never expected that there would be a strong cavalry as backup for the Northern Han army. So General Jing will definitely step into this trap."

Confusion flashed in Xuan Song's eyes, and he said: "The general doesn't understand. Since the supervisor already knew this, why didn't he change his tactics and fight steadily?"

I smiled and said: "This is about the purpose of our army's combat. Our army is powerful. If we attack the Northern Han Dynasty, we will inevitably lose our troops and generals, but the Northern Han Dynasty will eventually lose to our army. Although the Daizhou army is brave, it cannot be defeated once it comes. After being away from Daizhou for a long time, there are only more than 10,000 people in the second place. Therefore, if our army fights steadily, it will not matter whether it is a big victory or a tragic victory. However, the Northern Han Dynasty is different from Shu and Southern Chu. The people of Shu are relatively peaceful. Once the country is destroyed, It is easy to appease. Although there will be some people who overestimate their own capabilities and want to restore the country, they will not be able to make big waves if they cannot get the support of powerful forces. The Chu people are weak. Once the country is subjugated, as long as their interests are not harmed, Most of them did not dare to resist. Only in the Northern Han Dynasty, the king was said to be wise, and the army and the people were united. If our army was greedy for a quick victory and only focused on seizing the city and building a stronghold, our army would capture Jinyang City and control the Northern Han royal family. Nor can we suppress the rebel armies that have arisen in various places. Therefore, the emperor is not worried about our defeat. If we are defeated, it is fine to fight again. If we cannot win completely, it will be troublesome. If the enemy's main force still exists, they will definitely defend one city after another. This is enough It's an insoluble situation. There are some things you don't know. We don't have that much time. The main force of the Northern Han army has collapsed. As long as 10% or 20% of the remnants are left, then in the future we will face the resistance of all the Northern Han people and those who fled. The Northern Han army is the spark of fire, and if someone like Long Tingfei escapes, let alone three to five years, even ten to eight years, it will be difficult for us to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, if our army wants to win, we must conquer the Northern Han Dynasty. The Han army must be wiped out in one fell swoop, and all the leaders of the Northern Han army must be captured. If we want to do this, we must lure the enemy to our battlefield, but Long Tingfei, Lin Bi, and the Northern Han generals are not fools. If they want to To let them into the trap, there must be enough sacrifices. Therefore, His Highness the King of Qi will inevitably be defeated in Qinyuan, and then he can retreat and lure the enemy. In order to achieve satisfactory results, the Northern Han Army will definitely pursue them. Only in this way, we Only then will the army’s goal be achieved?”

Xuan Song was dazzled by what he heard, and after a long time he said: "I see, His Highness already knows the details, but he just pities the warriors of our army who died tragically."

I sighed: "His Royal Highness King Qi knows a little bit, but not completely. Only the Emperor and I know all the details of the entire battle strategy. I am convinced that His Highness will be defeated. When His Highness fights, he must be extremely brave. Only in this way will the dragon be defeated." Ting Fei fell into the trap, but when he was about to be defeated, His Highness had experienced battles for a long time, and he was not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, so he would definitely be able to retreat as much as possible while preserving his strength. General Xuan, if there are no two national players playing chess in a game, It’s always rare to be wonderful. This game of chess in the Northern Han Dynasty was only possible because of the cleverness of the opponent. If Long Tingfei didn’t know that he had to capture and kill the King of Qi to complete his merits, how could he be lured into the game we prepared? The battlefield. Even the smartest people in the Northern Han Dynasty can't see through this puzzle. In the middle of the game, there are a few people who can stand aloof."

Xuan Song was already convinced and said: "Please tell me, Lord Supervisor of the Army, how the general should behave?"

I pointed to a point on the map and said: "The enemy's pursuit must be extremely fierce. Our army's retreat must be very strict. General Xuan only needs to use means to help King Qi and General Jing retreat here. That's it." It's a great achievement, but the general needs to remember that the enemy's general is an extraordinary person. The more dedicated the general is when he retreats, the less likely the enemy will think that our army has back-ups."

Seeing where I was pointing, Xuan Song's eyes flashed with enthusiasm and he said: "So that's the case, no wonder, no wonder."

I smiled slightly and added: "After the Northern Han army flooded Anze, the roads were destroyed. I had people repair the roads for days in order to meet our army. Firstly, to reduce casualties. Secondly, the more prepared we are, the better the North Han army will be." The Han army will think that the stronger our desire to win, the less likely they will think of any other intentions behind our retreat."

At this time, Xiao Shunzi handed me the big cloak, I took it and put it on, saying: "Since General Xuan already knows the situation, I have to retire first. Jiang is not talented and cannot withstand the hardships of the battle, so I will leave first." Waiting for you all at the back, His Highness King Qi is protected by Master Fazheng and Master Fa Nin, together with masters from various factions. General Xuan does not have to worry, even if there is some danger, they can keep His Highness safe."

There was a strange look on Xuan Song's face. He didn't expect that the supervisor would be so confident in escaping from the battle. However, knowing that King Qi's life would not be in danger, Xuan Song breathed a sigh of relief. Now here is Jiang Zhe, who has the highest official position. No one can stop him from leaving first. Perhaps this is why Jiang Zhe forced himself to stay, just because he could lead his army to meet King Qi after he escaped.

Of course I knew what Xuan Song was thinking, but in order not to experience the painful experience of escaping, I would rather escape before the battle, taking Xiao Shunzi, Chi Ji and the dissatisfied tiger guards with me. Most of them wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy. Walk towards the prepared carriage. Before getting on the carriage, I couldn't help but look up at the sky. It should be sunset in half an hour. Presumably, King Qi would be able to retreat to the first line of defense by the first watch, but the retreat distance of several hundred miles would not be long. It's easy to leave, but there is nothing I can do about it. When marching and fighting, the winner in the temple before fighting is considered to be more. Now all the arrangements are as I expected. If our army is still defeated, it can only be said to be God's will. This is beyond human control. But I don’t have to worry. Where is the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty? At most, we will have a harder time winning and leave more troubles. Can we still make them overturn? I couldn't help but think of Long Tingfei. Watching him march and set up formations, he was also a first-class talent, but unfortunately he was my opponent. I couldn't help but whisper: "Cut off its wings, cut off its branches and leaves, tie its hands and feet, and trap its will. This is called a network on all sides. Even if you have earth-shaking talents, how can you escape my grasp?" I don't know why, but I feel unspeakably tired. I have been thinking hard these days and carefully arranging various arrangements, lest something will change the overall situation. Now the situation has finally been decided, and the next things are out of my control. I almost got into the carriage in a daze. Before getting in the car, I suddenly turned around and said to Xuan Song: "Tell Su Qing to do his best to intercept the spies of the Northern Han Army. We must not let the Northern Han Army discover our army's layout. Ling Xiao in the middle section of the Northern Han Army is no longer there." Maybe he took action personally, and Qiu Yufei was also detained in Donghai. Among the remaining people, Su Qing should be able to handle it. Even if there are some that can't be handled, the experts around King Qi can also help. If you are in a hurry, you must not let them see through."

Xuan Song said almost cautiously: "I will obey the order, sir. I am not feeling well, so you should rest quickly."

I looked up and saw worries flashing in the eyes of Xiao Shunzi, Chi Ji, Hu Yanshou and others. I smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you all making a fuss?"

Xiao Shunzi suddenly sighed and stuffed a pill into my mouth. I felt my body and mind gradually relax, sweet dreams came to me, and I fell asleep quickly.

Xuan Song was horrified: "Why is your face so pale? Is the old illness relapsing?"

Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "Young Master has been thinking hard about this battle for nearly half a year. Now that everything has been settled, I can't help but feel a little tired when I relax. General Xuan, you have a great influence on whether or not this battle is won or lost. If it's because of your I will never let you go if you fail because of this." After saying that, he carried Jiang Zhe into the carriage. Chi Ji glanced at the carriage worriedly, sat on the coachman's seat, and waved his riding whip.

Looking at the carriage going away, Xuan Song felt guilty in his heart. Just now he was still criticizing Jiang Zhe for escaping from the battle, but he had no idea how much effort Jiang Zhe would need to make the enemy and us act according to his plan. He said flatly: "Let's set off immediately. Let's go to meet His Highness the King of Qi." The personal guards presented armor and horses. Xuan Song changed his clothes and armor, rode his horse and whipped his horse, and ran towards Qinyuan.

On the battlefield in the distance, Li Xian was almost holding back and cursing in a low voice. How could he be so stupid? After thinking about it at first, he didn't think of the Daizhou Army. Lin Bi would come to help. He had thought of it. However, he had never thought that more than half of the Daizhou Army would come. After all, it was common sense among people that the Daizhou Army would not leave the country, and everyone knew that the northern barbarians were ready to move. Who would have thought that Lin Bi would be so bold and bring most of the army with him? What about going south? However, the one he scolded the most was Jiang Zhe. Li Xian really didn't know the overall arrangement, so he felt a little unsure about whether the subsequent arrangements were appropriate. He couldn't help but regret that he had been so aroused by Jiang Zhe's few words that he only wanted to be with Bei. The Han army fought to the death and did not ask detailed questions. At this time, Jing Chi had already transferred from the front army, and there was a veteran of the Yong Army in front of him to clear the way. He also ran to the back to help King Qi cut off the queen, and rode his horse to King Qi's side. Jing Chi said with some frustration: "Your Highness, we pretend to be heroes. , he was beaten to a pulp by a woman, what should I do now, how will I see anyone after I go back?"

Li Xian was too lazy to explain to him. Anyway, Jing Chi would naturally know it by then. Nunu said: "Don't be stunned, Daizhou Army is coming up again."

I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, condensing and not dissipating. The Daizhou army approached the Yong army's rear formation, but did not charge. They just cruised back and forth. From time to time, they used bows and arrows to hunt down the lagging Yong army cavalry. Occasionally, brave warriors charged. Enter the Yong army's formation, fight for a while, and then retreat. This disturbed Yong's army. A cold light flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and he carried Ma Shan to the rear of the formation in person. With him holding down the formation, Yong's army became emboldened and began to fight back fiercely. The two armies were entangled like this, but neither slowed down. When the sun was setting in the west, the forwards of the Yong Army had already entered the first line of defense announced by Xuansong.

The opening of the valley where the two mountains face each other is a Qinshui river. On both sides of the river are rugged mountain roads that can accommodate galloping horses. The cold water roars quietly and there are rugged rocks on both sides. The mountains in this area are all stone mountains with sparse vegetation and rocks. It is hard and difficult to drill, and it is impossible to build a fixed stronghold. There are cliffs on both sides, dozens of feet away from the Qinshui River. Although it is close to the water, it is difficult to get water, and it is difficult to attack and defend. Therefore, the Northern Han army did not Instead of consuming strength in this narrow place, it is better to use the flat place where the cavalry's strength can be more fully utilized. However, it is the Yong Army that is defending now. The infantry of the Yong Army is best used to defend the temporary fortifications. Although it is impossible to hold on for a long time due to various restrictions, as long as they guard each place for a day and a half, they can delay the Northern Han Army. attack speed. This is what Long Tingfei is worried about. He does not want to encounter a large number of Yong Army reinforcements after he has worked so hard to break through the Yong Army's defense line. According to normal estimates, it would take at least half a month from the time the news of the defeat reached Zezhou, and from Zezhou's gathering of troops to dispatching reinforcements. This was a situation that had been prepared in advance, but it was not impossible, so Long Tingfei took The main force of the Northern Han Army hurriedly arrived and joined Lin Bi. If Li Xian could not be kept here, the attack would need to be accelerated. The Yong Army must be forced to Anze within ten days, so that it would be possible to complete the total annihilation. The goal of Yong's army.

A Confucian general in green shirt stood on one side of the mountain. Outside the valley, the Yong army had been waiting in full formation with bows and crossbows, and the Yong army's cavalry entered the valley in an orderly manner without a trace of disorder. By this time, the Northern Han army had realized that time was running out, and their attacks were becoming more and more fierce. If Li Xian and Jing Chi had not personally come to the rear to block the attack, the Yong army's rear formation would have been breached long ago. The blood-red sunset was about to sink in the sky, and the sunset glow was as sad as bright blood flowers. The two armies fought hard with all their strength, regardless of sacrifice, and the lives of countless warriors composed the most magnificent war picture.

One-third of Yong's army had entered the valley. At this moment, a fighting ship of the Northern Han navy appeared on the upper reaches of the Qinshui River, rushing down the turbulent river. The sailors on board were all holding shields and carrying crossbows. , apparently preparing to use the Qinshui River to rush into the valley and use crossbows to cut off the Yong army's retreat. Seeing the flag of the navy army from a distance, the Northern Han army was all powerful and their attacks were becoming more and more skillful. Although the Yong army was a little uneasy, it was a lion in hundreds of battles after all. It was a little uneasy at first, but it soon stabilized. The pace of retreat seems to have accelerated a lot, and the resistance against the Northern Han Army has also relaxed a bit.

Just when the three leading warships were about to approach the mouth of the valley, the green-shirted general commanding on the mountain peak waved his flag. The bows of the three warships seemed to have hit some obstacle and were unable to move forward. It rushed over, but within a moment, the three warships blocked most of the river. After all, the Northern Han navy on the warships were not Chu people who had experienced water battles, so they couldn't help but become confused. At this time, the Yong army at the mouth of the valley was in the formation. Dozens of crossbows and catapults were launched, and arrows and boulders struck like raindrops. The navy of the Northern Han Dynasty issued an order, and those naval forces fought back bravely, but the ships could not move, and the tilt of the hull made the Northern Han army unable to resist. After a while, the navy gave the order to withdraw, and the sailors on the three warships jumped into the water or retreated in small boats.

Long Tingfei's eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Not long after, a scout reported back: "General, Yong's army has installed iron cables on the river to block the river. Just when the navy was charging, Yong's army used hinges to pull up the iron cables to block our warships."

The Yong army slowly entered the valley. Long Tingfei watched the Yong army's flag disappear from sight, and couldn't help but said bitterly: "The Yong army's methods are indeed very clever. They spent so much thought on the retreat. Unexpectedly, in a few days, they actually succeeded The iron cables blocking the river have also been built, but it is a pity, otherwise if our navy blocked the mountain pass, Yong's army would never be able to escape."

Duan Wudi advised on the side: "General, don't worry, although it is not as good as we expected, but on the other hand, Yong's army also has no backup, otherwise they might as well let us go over the mountains, wait for work in Anze, and defeat our army. Now They are tightly guarded, which shows that they are not strong and want to use the geographical advantage to consume our army's strength. However, we are more familiar with this area than they are. As long as we break through their defense line as soon as possible and use our army's strengths in charging and hunting, we will definitely be able to defeat Yong. If the army is wiped out, Li Xian is stubborn by nature and will never abandon the army and run away. We still have a chance to keep him."

A look of determination flashed in Long Tingfei's eyes and he said: "If we cannot capture and kill Li Xian, even if we are victorious and defeated, I will send an order to my general to set off rockets to destroy the warships blocking the road. The iron ropes can be melted with fire and let the navy do it." , even if thirty miles of mountains and rivers are turned into a sea of ​​fire, I will make sure that Yong's army has no place to stay. I once ordered you to prepare black oil and saltpeter. You only need to pour the black oil on the Qinshui River, and a fire can force the valley back. Yong Jun. I'll give you two days, you can do it."

Duan Wudi was shocked. This black oil is a strange thing. It does not sink in water, is flammable, and the fire lasts for a long time. However, after burning, black smoke lingers, and the land penetrated by the black oil is barren. Although Long Tingfei's move is cruel, , but these thirty miles of barren mountains and the lower reaches of Qinshui River must be seriously damaged, but now he can't care about it. He bowed and said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my command."
