retaliate

Chapter 929 Mediocrity
Pei Jian took Yang Xuan's saber and mounted his horse to question him.

"Where's the striker?"

The military officer was stunned for a moment, obviously not ready to change the target of the report, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "The striker has already caught the enemy."

Pei Jian glanced at the front, "Zhen Sima did not send anyone to ask for help, it can be seen that the forces are evenly matched. Reinforce with a thousand cavalry, the enemy will withdraw, and do not pursue. If the enemy does not retreat, entangles, and fights, I will lead the army and destroy it in one fell swoop. enemy!"

This arrangement is stable and not lacking in sharpness.

After thinking about it carefully, this arrangement contains all kinds of calculations for dealing with the enemy generals.

When the enemy retreats, don't chase them—if you are feigning defeat, Chengyang City will prepare to ambush troops and rush out at once... Zhen Siwen is in danger!

Zhen Siwen did not ask for help, which shows the inseparability of fighting with the enemy.

On the basis of this judgment, order a thousand cavalry reinforcements. If the enemy does not withdraw, then they will be entangled, and the enemy will not be given a chance to escape.

Later, Pei Jian led the army to arrive and covered up the incident.

Yang Xuan smiled and asked somewhat contentedly, "How?"

Han Ji praised: "The people's calculations are over!"

The art of war is the calculation of the mind.

The so-called "no last resort" is to think of all the opponent's ideas.If you can make the best response, it is the famous general.

Military generals have achieved the ultimate, and civil servants have achieved the ultimate, both have the same goal.

This class of people was thrown on the court, and it is also the talent of the prime minister.

Han Ji smiled and said, "This person is a genius."

However, the experience is less interesting.

Han Ji did not remind, but reminding at this moment would interfere with Yang Xuan's determination.

Experience is all out.

A thousand rides out.

Immediately, Pei Jian surrendered to Yang Xuan under the banner.

Yang Xuan raised his hand.

"Just go!"

The army was dispatched, and only a few thousand horses were left behind Yang Xuan.

"Lang Jun, Jiang Cunzhong is an old man after all, and he has a close relationship with Lang Jun..."

Han Ji reminded, "I'm afraid of being eccentric."

Yang Xuan smiled, "One emperor and one courtier, after taking over the northern border, I ordered Nan He to lead the entire army, which is what it should be. Even if Huang Xianggong and Liao Zhongcheng came, they would not say anything.

Jiang Cunzhong is his deputy, but he has actually been promoted by two levels.

Furthermore, if Jiang Cunzhong was to lead the Northern Xinjiang Army, the generals who were worried about the emperor and the courtiers would gather around him. What is this? "

"Another mountain!" The old thief smiled at Han Ji.

Han Ji is smart, that is to say, he has a little connection with Helianyan.He even deliberately distanced himself from other people in the small group, which was taking the initiative to avoid suspicion.

"Jiang Cunzhong, dare not!" Han Ji said.

"Does he dare to say otherwise. I am the master of the northern border, so I shouldn't use such things to test my subordinates."

These words resonated with the old thief, who looked flushed.

"What did you think of, old thief?"

The second one is the best.

The old thief said: "There is a famous prostitute in the brothel in Taoxian County. She is a confidant of a scholar, and it is said that they will redeem themselves after a new year. The two are like husband and wife, and it is said that redemption means marriage.

That prostitute was infatuated with scholars, and a good female prostitute said that it was time to test the scholars, and the prostitute agreed, and asked her to take action..."

"how?"

Tu Chang couldn't help asking.

"Young Master Tu, are you going to the brothel too?" Wang Lao Er asked.

Yang Xuan saw that the five fingers of Tu Chang's right hand were close together, exerting force.

Jiang He'er couldn't help but ask: "Old thief, what happened in the end? Are the two married?"

The old thief sighed, "The prostitute was all about redemption in the new year, and when the new year came, she happily waited for her lover to come and redeem herself. But she saw that the scholar took the prostitute she had befriended into the carriage, and then away."

Jiang He'er was furious, "What about loyalty?"

"Loyalty!" The old thief's eyes were desolate, "Loyalty was eaten by dogs!"

Jiang He'er stomped her feet in anger, "The heart is so dirty! I can't believe it!"

Wang Lao Er said, "I believe in your Lord!"

Everyone looked at him and laughed.

Yang Xuan smiled and instructed: "The second child leads the scouts to look around and isolate the enemy's eyes and ears."

"Yes."

Wang Lao Er happily led the people out.

"The second child doesn't seem to know what sorrow is."

Han Ji looked envious.

"Less desires, you can do this." Tu Chang stroked his beard, quite proud.

Helianyan asked, "Can you inquire about the war ahead?"

"No, I believe him!"

……

The battle between the two armies was inextricable.

Zhen Siwen and his subordinates rushed to kill repeatedly, and Zhao Duola did not retreat a step to the sound of drums at the top of the city.

"Zhen Siwen, brave!"

At the top of the city, Xiao Hongde gave Zhen Siwen an attribution.

"He occasionally goes crazy," Peng Zhi said.

"Ok?"

While speaking, he saw Zhen Siwen suddenly galloping on his horse, and went to Zhao Duola.

He was constantly intercepted along the way, but Zhen Siwen didn't care about it, he cut his life out of the way, and he cut out a passage.

Just as Zhao Duola was about to make his move, someone shouted, "The enemy reinforcements are here."

Zhao Duola waved his hand, and his subordinates rushed up, blocking Zhen Siwen.

"How many people?"

"A thousand rides!"

Zhao Dora was stunned.

Four thousand against three thousand, the two sides were inextricably killed.

Another [-] of Tang Jun came, it should be... still difficult to understand.

If they were to withdraw, the defenders would be weaker in momentum.

——Four thousand against four thousand, still in front of Chengyang City, the defenders were actually defeated.

Xiao Hongde could strip him alive!

Boom boom boom!
Drums rumble.

At the head of the city, Xiao Hongde said, "Three thousand cavalrymen quietly emerge from the side city gates, hide on both sides, and stand by to ambush."

"Yes!"

This means that Zhao Duola is not ready to retreat.

A thousand cavalry joined the battlefield, and the defenders were immediately suppressed.

Moreover, the Northern Xinjiang army was like a rainbow, and it was divided into small groups, interspersed among the defenders.

"This is chaos!"

Peng Zhi said, "Yang Gou's handwriting!"

"The two sides were entangled, and then the army arrived to cover up." Xiao Hongde's eyes were gloomy, "Order Zhao Dora to withdraw slowly. Prepare for the ambush."

The horn sounded.

"withdraw!"

Zhao Duola took his subordinates to retreat back, but the Northern Xinjiang Army was already tightly entangled with them.

Every step back comes with a price.

"retreat!"

Zhao Dora shouted.

On both sides of Chengyang City, thousands of cavalry were in place.

Strike, or wait?

"Make him desperate, withdraw!"

Xiao Hongde abandoned the calculation of killing Zhao Duola by the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"withdraw!"

Zhao Duola turned around with his subordinates.

Oh oh oh!
The horn sound comes from the south.

Then, the hooves of horses roared like thunder.

Zhao Duola looked back and just glanced, his face pale.

A large group of cavalry is coming.

If he arrives a moment early, he will not hesitate to evacuate with his subordinates.

A moment later, the ambushes on both sides attacked, and Zhen Siwen's entanglement became a cocoon!

The timing of the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack is neither too soon nor too late.

Accurate to the point of despair.

"Yang dog!"

Zhao Duola glanced at the city head.

Xiao Hongde climbed high and looked into the distance, and discovered the appearance of the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army earlier than he did.

"Xiangwen, Yang Gou is here!"

The general under his command said: "Can the ambush be attacked?"

The ambush was about to ambush Zhen Siwen, but at this moment it became a response.

Motherfucker!
This battle is useless!

"Change generals, this old man can make them respond. Zhen Siwen is a lunatic, if he fails, he will go out, entangle the ambush, and wait for the main force to arrive.

The old man did not attack, and thousands of cavalry were wiped out. How can we fight this battle?If attacked, this is a decisive battle.The old man is sitting on a strong city, why is he fighting with Yang Gou?are you crazy? "

Xiao Hongde shook his head, "Withdraw!"

City head ringing gold.

The ambush on both sides then retreated.

Zhao Duola said bitterly: "Old dog! Withdraw!"

Pei Jian rode his horses galloping in the central army, and when he heard the sound of gold, he said solemnly: "There are too many defenders and horses. If you attack the city step by step, you will definitely pay a huge price. I wanted to lead the defenders to attack in a big way, but Xiao Hongde unexpectedly broke his wrist! "

"Yang dog!"

At the head of the city, Xiao Hongde sneered, "Warning."

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell rang, and the cavalry in the city shouted: "From now on, go out and kill!"

"Yang dog is here!"

The people were apprehensive.

Xiao Hongde was not in a hurry.

"Yang dog..."

A sergeant shouted: "Xiangwen, not Yang Ziqi!"

Ok?
Xiao Hongde asked, "Who is that?"

"Yes... it's the Zhou Ziqi!"

It wasn't Yang Xuan?
Zhou Ziqi, there is only one Zhou Jian in the northern Xinjiang.

This person is called a swordsman by the Neizhou army, and his swordsmanship is a mess.

It is rare for this person to lead a fight, the only time he leads a ranger into battle.

"Does Yang Gou want to humiliate the old man?"

Xiao Hongde's palace could not hold back the humiliation.

Yang Xuan is here, which has been confirmed by countless scouts.

But he didn't know where he was, so he threw the army to an ordinary Zhou Jian and ordered him to attack Chengyang City.

Xiao Hongde seemed to see Yang Xuan smiling contemptuously.

——Defeat you without my shot!
The two armies faced each other, and the leader of one side suddenly waved his hand lazily, "Xiao Hongde, no-name soldier! Zhou Jian, let's go!"

This is a slap in the face.

And who should understand this slap in the face.

The two armies fought each other, and the morale was the first.

At the beginning, Yang Xuan slapped Xiao Hongde hard.

The kind that he couldn't fight back.

In front of the Neizhou Army, Xiao Hongde's face turned blue.

Then back to normal.

"Who knows Zhou Jian?"

Both the eagle guards and the scouts shoulder the heavy responsibility of inquiring about news, and among them, the civil and military officials of the northern Xinjiang are on their roster.

The Eagle Guard was called in from the state.

"Zhou Jian... This person is very good at swordsmanship. Our people said that this person's cultivation level can be ranked in the top three by Yang Gou's side."

"The top three, who else?" Peng Zhi asked.

"Ning Yayun is the first, that Huang Linxiong and Zhou Jian don't know who is higher and who is lower."

"Continue." Xiao Hongde was looking at the city—Zhou Jian did not rush to attack the city, but calmly commanded his subordinates to strangle the defenders who were entangled by Zhen Siwen.

Zhao Dora has already entered the city.

"Close the gates!"

The last sergeant fled in, shouted the general at the gate.

hum!
Those sergeants frantically pushed the gates.

But the Northern Xinjiang Army did not chase after him at all.

Heart, messed up!

Zhao Duola glanced at these flustered sergeants, stomped his feet, and turned his head towards the city with a sullen face.

"...During Huang Chunhui's time, I had never heard of Zhou Jian. After Yang Xuan arrived in Tao County, Zhou Jian appeared by his side, like a guard."

Yingwei continued to talk about Zhou Jian's origins.

Xiao Hongde glanced at Zhao Duola who came up, "Continue."

Old dog!

Zhao Duola suppressed his anger.

"Zhou Jian's swordsmanship is excellent. He has served as an arrow assault several times, and he is invincible. The only time he led an army to kill was to strangle our army scouts. In that battle, Zhou Jian commanded properly."

"Appropriate?" Xiao Hongde frowned.

In the previous fight over the air, Zhou Jian gave him a slap in the face.

It's not just proper!

"Yes." Yingwei said: "Yang Gou has a lot of talents around him, and even the old thief and Wang Lao Er have more opportunities to lead the army than Zhou Jian."

"So, you just used an appropriate comment as his comment?"

Xiao Hongde shook his head.

"Yes."

Eagle Guard didn't think there was any problem.

Xiao Hongde pointed to the big flag under the city, "Yang Gou ordered him to lead the army to attack Chengyang City. How can this be properly evaluated? The Eagle Guard is negligent!"

If this comment is thrown to Ning Xing, the Eagle Guard will be unlucky for the people in Neizhou.

Zhao Duola has shrunk to the back and sneered at his confidant: "Xiao Hongde is playing on the topic, and the guilt is first passed on to Yingwei. However, Yingwei is not a vegetarian. If he does this, Yingwei will definitely fight back."

"Assemble!"

Outside the city, following Pei Jian's order, the army that had strangled the remnant enemy assembled under the city.

"Prepare!"

Xiao Hongde stared at the Beijiang Army under the city, "Let's take the lead, or what?"

"Not in a hurry."

Under the banner, Pei Jian said indifferently: "The morale of the defenders is good at the moment, so let the trebuchets wait in place."

"Leader!"

Everyone was looking at Pei Jian.

The Duke is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to question this.

But what is Zhou Jian?
Why did the Duke let him in charge of the army?

In the previous battle, Pei Jian used his own command to make this doubt dissipated.

But the real test will come.

Chengyang, a strong city!

How to break the city?

There is only one way to attack.

Anyone can attack seriously, the key is the timing of commanding the battle.

That is, micromanipulation.

The trebuchet is in place.

Boss Yang is still wandering in the back, a real scout leader.

Time flies, and the sun sets in the west when the trebuchet is ready.

"put!"

Stones flew over the city head.

The defenders had already withdrawn most of the time, and the rest were squatting behind the battlements, shivering while praying.

Once the battlements are hit, even hiding behind them will not be able to escape.

Xiao Hongde is right at the top of the city, and his cultivation is enough to avoid stones calmly.

hum!
A stone flew over, Xiao Hongde's figure flickered, but the person behind him did not have this cultivation level, and was smashed by the stone and flew down.

Xiao Hongde is looking at the Zhou Ziqi.

He was waiting for Zhou Jian to make a move.

"attack!"

Zhou Jian said lightly.

"Leader!"

Suo Yun was also a little listless.

Crossbow arrows densely cover the city head.

Then the death camp attacked the city.

This is the traditional craft of Tang Jun.

"Prepare!"

The guards came up.

The stairs were on the top of the city, and the soldiers of the death camp rushed up.

The number of defenders was abundant, in small groups, strangling the enemy who rushed to the city.

The two sides were entangled, and occasionally the death camp made a breakthrough, and was then driven down by the defenders counterattack.

"That's it?"

This was a mediocre and tedious offensive and defensive battle. There was nothing wrong with it, but there was no bright spot. Zhao Duola didn't come in handy.

Dangdang Dangdang!
An hour later, Pei Jian ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

"withdraw!"

Soyun yawned.

The death camp didn't lose much, but it felt that this battle was useless.

So did the defenders.

"It's so boring!"

Xiao Hongde moved slightly in his heart, but felt that his morale was gradually rising, so he put that idea on hold.

"withdraw!"

Pei Jian returned with his subordinates.

Back at the camp, he went to report first.

"it is good!"

Yang Guogong just smiled.

After Pei Jian left, people came to report one after another.

"No bright spot."

"keep."

"mediocre……"

Pei Jian found that his subordinates looked at him in the wrong way.

From curiosity and suspicion to indifference.

In the army, strength is the most respected.

Pei Jian's performance today was disappointing.

Pei Jian was silent, and later, he went to make dinner by himself.

Several generals in the other row looked at him and just sneered.

"inability!"

"I don't know what deceived the Duke!"

"This is the lucky one!"

The discussion couldn't stop.

There is a gradual expansion trend.

"The prince is here!"

Boss Yang, who rarely queues for meals, came.

The scene fell silent, but the weird atmosphere could be felt.

The prince should regret it, right?
A general is thinking.

It's time for a replacement!
When they saw Yang Xuan walking towards Pei Jian, the generals all smiled at Jiang Cunzhong.

In this battle, Jiang Cunzhong should have taken command.

Jiang Cunzhong was silent.

Yang Xuan walked in front of Pei Jian.

Pei Jian saluted.

Yang Xuan opened his mouth.

"Come with me!"
