retaliate

Chapter 976

The war has begun.

The most cunning thing in the world is probably the businessman.

Just after Beijiang shouted the slogan of opening spring and advancing northward, the merchants of Beiliao near the northern side were almost hoarding goods with the same aspirations.

"Shopkeeper, why are you hoarding goods?"

"Idiot, once the war starts, the trade will be cut off. When the fighting is over, how big a deal is it?"

"But...but what if it was robbed?"

"Who dares to rob us?"

"Northern Frontier Army."

"Fart! Qin Guogong said that merchants are friends of Beijiang. Since his old man came to power, have you heard of any merchants who have been robbed?"

"What about the army on Daliao's side?"

"Daliao's army will indeed plunder, but now that Duke Qin is sending troops, they don't even have the intention of plundering. Saving lives is the most important thing!"

This is a caravan with dozens of carts stretching along the official road.

The shopkeeper was very impressed by what the shopkeeper said.

"Learn more!"

The shopkeeper felt secretly refreshed.

Da da da!
The sound of hooves came from behind.

"It's the army!"

shouted the guy behind.

The shopkeeper's face was pale, "Pull it down, pull it down!"

The guys drove the cart off the official road in a panic.

Then came the cavalry.

One after another, one after another... the wind blowing up is chilling.

The shopkeeper looked at the left side, and he couldn't see the side at a glance.

He saw the big flag.

"It's Mr. Lin."

The shopkeeper knelt down and shouted: "Master Lin is mighty!"

Lin Jun on horseback glanced at him, and said to Shen Changhe: "The distance is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more scouts from the Northern Border Army. Old Shen, go and have a look."

Shen Changhe waved his whip, and the horse rushed out of the middle army and galloped all the way forward.

"Ask the scouts!"

Shen Changhe said.

A team of scouts who had just returned were brought over.

"The scouts of the Northern Border Army are very fierce. No matter how many of us there are, they will rush to kill us first."

"High morale?"

"Yes! It's outrageously expensive."

"It must be the general who comes."

At this time, someone shouted in front, "Tang Jun scouts are here!"

Shen Changhe looked up, and saw a group of cavalry appearing in the distance.

"Expulsion!" shouted a general.

A group of cavalry came up here.

"Northern Border Army has come with more than a thousand riders!"

Shen Changhe sneered, "This is a ranger."

In the Chinese army, Lin Jun also saw that group of cavalry, "Before the big battle, it's all right to take the lead, and it's okay to kill chickens, attack!"

Da da da!
Following his order, a group of cavalry was sent out to the left and right, and surrounded them.

The cavalry in the middle began to accelerate.

Ahead, the two sides made contact.

I only saw flags fluttering, swords and guns dancing, and people fell off their horses from time to time.

Someone was screaming, but nothing could be heard.

Someone actually fled.

Lin Jun said: "Kill it."

A group of cavalry rushed out from behind him, chased after them, and strangled the dozen or so fleeing cavalry.

Come back right away.

"Why did you flee?" Lin Jun asked.

"They said that it was... Wang Laoer!"

The head was flying, and Wang Laoer shouted happily.

"Nine, ten..."

Lin Jun reined in his horse and looked into the distance.

Shen Changhe rode back. "The envoy is Wang's second child."

"Yang Xuan will order Wang Lao Er to lead the scouts in every battle to deter the opponent. When Wang Lao Er comes, who will follow up?"

"Master, it might be Yang Xuan."

"Yang Xuan is facing two choices at this moment, whether to stay in Kunzhou and quickly cut through the chaos and break through the city, or order his generals to attack the city and intercept our Taizhou reinforcements by himself."

Lin Jun thought about it.

In front, Wang Laoer shouted: "Retreat!"

The enemy cavalry on both sides are almost in place, if you don't leave, you don't have to leave.

"come!"

Just go!

Wang Laoer still didn't forget to turn his head and wave, if the old thief was there, he would definitely say that he was like a procuress in a brothel soliciting customers.

The outflanking failed, and Lin Jun ordered the cavalry on the two wings to return to the army.

"The arrival of Wang Lao Er shows that the battle situation in Kunzhou has changed, but it does not rule out that Yang Xuan is playing tricks. Between the two..."

The trade-offs are the hardest.

The so-called art of war is to judge the opponent's thinking without meeting the opponent, and then make the best response.

Lin Jun was silent.

The army was still marching, and every cavalryman would glance at him when they passed by.

Facing the famous general of Daliao, they cast reverent eyes.

When She Gu's prestige was chilling, Lin Jun, who did not show his dew, quietly came to the north.

Defeat the mighty Shegu people in one battle.

The second battle, the third battle... the invincible Shegu people were beaten to death by him.

Three battles and three victories.

But then Ning Xing ordered him to go to Tanzhou.

Everyone in the army knew that this was the emperor's method.

If Lin Jun is allowed to continue fighting, Lin Ya's prestige will increase even more.

Tanzhou, a place where even Yang Xuan refused to take a second look, what would such a famous general with outstanding merits do?
What about the Shegu people?
Under the political calculation, there has never been a big picture.

Lin Jun did not fight, which gave him a lot of points.

When he arrived in Tanzhou, the crowd who greeted him could not see the end.

An old man came over with wine and said in a trembling voice: "Tanzhou's soldiers and people have been suffering for a long time. When the envoy comes, I will wait like a long drought for nectar!"

"Get ready to fight!"

Lin Jun nodded in response to those reverent gazes.

"Who will it be?"

Shen Changhe has already played the role of a staff member and analyzed them one by one.

"There are not many generals under Yang Xuan's command who can stand on their own. Jiang Cunzhong is one. Jiang Cunzhong is a veteran general in northern Xinjiang. He has a lot of tricks and schemes. He was originally under Yang Xuan. The second is Nan He, who is Nan He. Yang Xuan's confidant followed Taiping all the way to Tao County."

"It may be difficult for Jiang Cunzhong to face the envoy, and those methods cannot escape the envoy's eyes."

"There's not much information about Nan He. I only know that this person is Yang Xuan's one eye in the army. He is loyal, but he doesn't know much about his ability to command and kill."

"The last one is called Zhou Jian. This person is unknown. He commanded the final battle to break Neizhou. It's interesting."

Lin Jun said: "No matter who it is, I am the master."

"Enemy scouts."

shouted ahead.

"There are more and more scouts from the Northern Xinjiang Army, expel them."

Lin Jun rode his horse and rushed out, "Follow me."

Behind him, thousands of cavalry followed him closely.

Ahead, hundreds of scouts from the Northern Border Army were strangling the rangers here.

The number of scouts from the Northern Border Army was significantly smaller, but they fought to the death.

"Brave."

Lin Jun was also moved by it.

"I estimate that the opponent is not far away, so let's use them to operate."

Lin Jun waved his hand, and the cavalry swarmed out behind him.

"Grass mud horse, how many people are there?"

The general of the northern border army on the opposite side cursed.

"A lot of people is amazing!"

The Beiliao general here smiled grimly, "Surround them."

"withdraw!"

The scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army began to evacuate, but they were hot on their heels.

Lin Jun came up.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers cheered.

Ahead, the Northern Liao cavalry were chasing the Northern Frontier scouts like hunters.

"Look, does it look like a dog in a panic?"

The general of the Northern Liao Dynasty is a person who likes to be vassal and elegant. He feels that he has found the feeling of writing poetry, and he just choked out half a sentence...

The Northern Xinjiang Army scouts in front reined in their horses and turned around in a circle.

"How dare you!"

The poetry of the generals of the Northern Liao Dynasty was interrupted, and he was furious!
"Stable!"

"Calling the soul!"

"Stable!"

"Calling your mother!"

"Detailed..."

The general raised his head slowly.

Between the sky, a touch of black poured out.

Countless black dots are scrambling to jump at the end of the sky.

Then, pieces spread forward one by one.

The sun shone on the blackness, reflecting pieces of light.

"It's the Northern Border Army!"

someone shouted.

The general's poetic enthusiasm had dissipated long ago, and he shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The scouts followed closely.

Kill lone enemies along the way.

This is the turn of wind and water.

"My lord, I found the troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army Brigade!"

The scout fled back in embarrassment.

Lin Jun reined in his horse and squinted into the distance.

"Tens of thousands!"

"There will be more in the future!"

"This is Yang Gou's main force."

"They are here to intercept our army!"

The scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army were provoking on the periphery.

"Fix formation!" Lin Jun ordered briefly.

Teams of cavalry began to line up and moved closer.

"Inform the luggage, stop, and be cautious."

"Yes!"

The team of scouts was in Yaowu, dragging the corpses of the enemy soldiers back and forth before the formation.

"Get out!"

someone shouted.

A troop of cavalry rushed out.

The scouts ran away quickly.

"Like a dog, hahahaha!"

The Northern Liao army couldn't help laughing when they saw how embarrassed they were fleeing.

Ahead, dark cavalry are approaching.

A big flag was erected fiercely.

As if being strangled by someone.The laughter stopped abruptly.

"Yang Ziqi!"

The flag waved.

"Government order, stop!"

Thirty thousand cavalry rein in their horses.

The horse neighed softly, and the cavalry on horseback remained silent.

On the opposite side, Lin Jun smiled and said, "I've always been worried that it was Nan He or Jiang Cunzhong who came, but I didn't expect it to be him. I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time, good!"

He rode his horse to the front of the formation and carefully looked at the opposite army formation.

"The array is neat, the morale is high, and this person is well in command of the army!"

Lin Jun nodded, and said to Shen Changhe: "He came, it means that Yangcheng is indeed lost, no matter how difficult it is for Kunzhou to restrain his main force. Thirty thousand riders, I believe this is the main force of his expedition this time. The pawns attacked Kunzhou, and led the cavalry to intercept our army. I am looking forward to it, and I think he will do the same."

Shen Changhe said: "The two armies are evenly matched in this battle. Yang Xuan is good at ambush, but there is no cover here, so his methods are useless."

"Don't underestimate him. It's not that he is good at ambushes, but that the opponents he encountered in the past were very stupid, so he succeeded many times."

Lin Jun smiled and said: "He needs to rest, and our army also needs to rest..."

Shen Changhe said: "Eat some dry food!"

"Step by step?" Lin Jun shook his head, "Get ready..."

Shen Changhe was taken aback.

The two sides have about the same number of people, so going step by step at this time is not to be conservative, but to strive for strength.

Lin Jun actually wanted to have an encounter.

He slapped his forehead suddenly.

"This means that the gentleman took the lead!"

What rules, in Lin Jun's place, rules don't exist.

If I want to attack, even if there is a mountain of swords and flames ahead, my subordinates will have to rush forward without hesitation.

He steered his horse back.

"Are you confident?"

With four simple words, Lin Jun asked calmly.

"Definitely!"

Thirty thousand cavalry burst into shouts.

Like a landslide.

"The voice is not small."

Yang Xuan picked out his ears, "Observe our army formation first, and want to attack without preparing to rest, this is an unusual way!"

The old thief said: "Duke, this man is boosting morale."

"The Northern Liao army faced me with consecutive defeats. He didn't boost morale, and the fighting spirit of his subordinates was sluggish. How can they fight?"

Jiang He'er said: "Duke, it's time for us to respond."

He Lianrong's face was serious, "Duke, this person is not in vain."

"It's rare to meet such an opponent, and I'm very happy!"

Yang Xuan lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the horse walked slowly.

He walked slowly through the corridor between the arrays.

up to the front of the array.

Make a U-turn.

silent.

Then raise your hand.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Yang Xuan rode his horse into the formation, and shouted: "My Northern Frontier Army..."

One arm is raised high.

"mighty!"

"My northern border army..."

"mighty!"

"My northern border army..." Yang Xuan hissed.

Thirty thousand soldiers shouted.

"mighty!"

Yang Xuan returned to the Chinese army.

Looking across, "Old thief."

"exist!"

"You lead the left wing!"

"Take orders."

"Butcher!"

"exist!"

"You lead the right wing."

"Leader!"

The army was in order in an instant.

Yang Xuan looked across.

Lin Jun has returned to the Chinese army.

"Left Wing!"

On the opposite side, Yang Xuan said: "Old thief Ling, attack!"

As soon as the old thief was in place, he received the order.

"The Duke ordered me to attack from the left wing!"

The old thief was full of blood.

"Attack!"

Da da da!
The Northern Xinjiang Army took the lead in launching the attack.

On the opposite side, Shen Changhe was stunned, "Their left wing moved first."

Lin Jun nodded, "The terrain on the left wing of the Northern Xinjiang Army is somewhat undulating, which is not conducive to mobilization and assembly. I originally wanted to attack his right wing, mobilize his central army, and then use the right wing to attack violently. Unexpectedly, he took the lead in responding. Since If it's not easy to defend, then I'll attack. It's great to have such an opponent!"

Shen Changhe couldn't experience the joyful feeling that an opponent is hard to find, "Master, can the left wing continue to attack?"

"Why not?" Lin Jun said, "He hits his, and I hit mine."

"Attack!"

The opponent's left wing also moved.

Han Ji smiled and said, "In the past, most of the opponents of the princes were slow, but this famous general of the Northern Liao Dynasty is at least determined."

"Shegu's will is as strong as iron, and those who can defeat them are naturally not cowards!"

The left wing was in contact with the enemy, and as soon as it came into contact, the Northern Xinjiang Army broke in smoothly like a rainbow.

The Northern Liao army was obviously a little surprised by the strength of the Northern Xinjiang army, but immediately used the reserve force to push the Northern Xinjiang army out, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

On the right wing, the Northern Liao Army encountered a rain of arrows from the Northern Xinjiang Army.

"There are crossbows at a distance, and longbows at a distance." Shen Changhe said: "Some people in Ningxing said that Chang'an cut off the supplies of Northern Xinjiang, and it is difficult for Northern Xinjiang to be false. But at this moment, it seems that they are not short of money, nor are they Bad iron."

The war is fought over money, food, population, and overall strength.

And smelting is the key.

Many people in Ningxing think that even if there is no shortage of food in Northern Xinjiang, there will be a shortage of ironware.

Some people say that the Wang family has iron mines in northern Xinjiang, but news came from Yingwei secret agents that after mining and smelting those ores, they were all sent to Guanzhong.

"Those people underestimated the output of that small iron mine."

Lin Jun shook his head.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.

Under the impact of the Northern Liao Army's risk of death, a hole appeared in the right wing of the Northern Liao Army.

"Opportunity!" said a general.

Lin Jun said in a deep voice, "Left wing, increase troops!"

In an instant, Shen Changhe seemed to smell a strong smell of blood.

Lin Jun stroked his beard and said calmly, "Yang Xuan, is it so unbearable?"
