The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 944: Under Pingshan City
In Jinyang city.

"Grand Governor, three days ago, General Zhang Shimei of King Zhao's army ordered [-] troops to Pingshan County. He has now taken control of Pingshan County. According to reports from scouts, five batches of troops have entered Pingshan County."

In the Longwu Army, a female general was reporting on the military situation. She was the widow of General Zhenwu in the Tiice Army, and she took over her husband's silver spear to protect the country.

Her real name is Qin Hongyu, and she was born in the Bagua Sect, a branch of Wudang. Her martial arts has now reached the level of Yuanhua. She is the top master of the Bagua Sect in the Mesozoic era. She later married General Zhenwu of the Tiance Army.General Zhenwu died in a bloody battle in the Battle of Jinyang when Hou Jin invaded.

After receiving the condolence letter from Tiance Army, Qin Hongyu settled down in her house and went to the female guard camp of Cao Xueyang, the queen of Pingyang of Tiance Army.

However, because of his outstanding martial arts and light kung fu skills, he obtained the essence of Wudang Tiyunzong. Although he was sent to Youyi Camp by Cao Xueyang.

Currently, he is the commander of Youyi Camp of the Longwu Army.

Youyi camp comes from the Tang Dynasty military book "Taibai Yin Jing": "My conspiracy should not be known to Youyi people." The "Youyi people" here refer to the elusive Youyi army.

You Yiying is not a scout, but more like a military spy.

They will collect various intelligence in the war zone between the two sides to assist strategic judgment.

Youyi Camp is the most complex army of the Longwu Army. Here you can see old men, old women, women, Taoist priests, monks...

These people are basically good at martial arts, good at disguise, and good at gathering information.

"Confirm?!"

Cao Xueyang put down the art of war in his hand and looked at Qin Hongyu.

"This is what I saw with my own eyes, under the command of the corps commander of You Yiying. He disguised himself as a woodcutter and had been cutting wood on the mountain of Guandao, Beimen, Pingshan County. Within two days, there were a total of five groups of soldiers and horses, each group of soldiers and horses. More than one person.”

Qin Hongyu's words made Cao Xueyang frown.

In just five days, Prince Zhao's Mansion sent five additional troops to Pingshan County? !
This seems unreasonable? !
According to Qin Hongyu's description, these five groups of soldiers and horses all entered from the north gate, which means that they were probably in the same direction and not very far apart. Why were they marching together? !
You must know that the Longwu Army's cavalry is not far from Pingshan County. Even if it is a newly built cavalry, Zhang Shimei, a veteran on the battlefield, is calm and experienced and cannot make such a weak-minded mistake of underestimating the enemy.

"Grand Governor, what's wrong?!"

Cao Xueyang raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid this is Zhang Shimei's plan to mislead the enemy!"

"??!" Qin Hongyu's face was full of questions, "How does the Governor know the secrets here?!"

Cao Xueyang stood up immediately, "Whether it's right or wrong, you will know with me in a try!?"

"Come on, order troops!"

……
-
Pingshan County Government.

The original administrative center of Pingshan County has become Zhang Shimei's temporary commander-in-chief.

Zhang Shimei was calm and composed at this time, but the general Zhu Shihong beside him seemed a little irritable.

"Old Zhang, what are you doing these days!? Let the sergeants in the city go out through the east gate at night and enter through the north gate during the day. Doing this will make the army officers and soldiers exhausted. If Cao Xueyang leads the army to attack , our combat power is at least [-]% weaker."

How can we fight when our soldiers are exhausted? ?
Zhu Shihong was a fierce general who took the lead in charging into the battle and captured the flag. He belonged to the brave warrior faction and could not understand Zhang Shimei's routine.

This useless operation could not cause any damage to the enemy, but exhausted the soldiers in his own army. If it were not for this mutual friendship, Zhu Shihong would have thought that Zhang Shimei was an undercover agent of the imperial court.

"Brother Shihong, don't be anxious, just listen to my explanation!"

Zhang Shimei is the number one general under King Zhao. He has been leading the army all year round and can be called a handsome man.

"I only brought 13 fine cavalry with me when I went south this time. Although you brought troops to help, the light cavalry and fast horses are only 22 troops! Including the regiment training and reduced soldiers in Pingshan County, the total is [-] troops. Horses. At this moment, Cao Xueyang has [-] troops and horses, and the total strength of Longwu Army is [-]. Four times as many as us. If Cao Xueyang leads his army to invade, it will be a troublesome matter."

Although Zhang Shimei did not think Cao Xueyang could capture Pingshan County, he did not want to confront Cao Xueyang head-on before King Zhao's main army arrived.

It's not that I'm afraid, but it's not necessary.

A qualified commander will not fight unnecessary battles.

At this moment, he was in a weak position. If Cao Xueyang attacked, it would be good to win, as it could break the morale of the new army, Longwu Army.But if they lose, it will also directly damage the morale of Jingnan's army.

This is even more fatal to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Rebellion is not something that everyone dares to do. There are many doubts in the army, but these doubts were suppressed by the prestige and power of King Zhao.

But it is only temporary. If you want to completely control the morale of the army, you must quickly establish winning results in the early stage.

If they lose this battle, their morale will definitely plummet.

Fighting against Cao Xueyang is a choice with huge risks and huge rewards, but for a cautious commander like Zhang Shimei, he will not make this choice unless he has to.

"That's why, Shihong, I used a trick to confuse Cao Xueyang. At night, I ordered the soldiers to go out from the south, with the men holding the title and the horse picking the bell. Then go out from the east gate. After dawn, enter through the north gate again, for this purpose I want Cao Xueyang to think that we have deployed heavy troops in Pingshan County, so that she doesn't dare to act rashly."

Zhang Shimei was sure that Cao Xueyang would send scouts to investigate, so he staged such a scene just for Cao Xueyang's scouts to see. Why were these soldiers and horses divided into five batches? It was to increase the frequency and let more scouts see it.

But he didn't expect that Cao Xueyang's Youyi camp was a little different from ordinary scouts, and actually recorded all five groups of soldiers and horses.

After hearing Zhang Shimei's explanation, Zhu Shihong changed his previous irritability and said, "Brother Shimei, brother Shimei, I was wrong! According to Lao Zhu, he is a rough man and doesn't understand these twists and turns, this conspiracy, and what's the matter? I have to rely on you, Brother Shimei!"

The corners of Zhang Shimei's mouth twitched slightly. She felt like she had been praised, but also felt like she had been scolded. She was not sure, so she looked again.

Just as the two were discussing the deployment of Pingshan County's defenses, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came.

Before the visitor could speak, Zhu Shihong shouted, "As a captain of the First Military Academy, how can you behave in such a panic?! Why are you so panicked? Could it be that Cao Xueyang came here?!"

"Ah?!" The captain who came to report was stunned for a moment, "General Zhu, you already know this?!"

Now it was Zhu Shihong's turn to be stunned, "Ah?! What do you know?!"

He doesn't know anything? !
"Cao Xueyang, Marquis of Pingyang of Zhou Ting, is leading his troops to fight outside the county city!"

……

After the captain finished speaking, the atmosphere in the main hall fell into an eerie silence.

Zhu Shihong said that he just said it casually; Zhang Shimei said that her face feels a little painful now.

He had just finished saying that he had made Cao Xueyang dare not act rashly with the suspicion of soldiers. As a result, Cao Xueyang suddenly rushed to Pingshan County with light cavalry to start a fight.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Although their faces hurt, the two of them decided to go to the top of the city to take a look.

As soon as Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong arrived at the top of the city, they heard that a woman was provoking a fight.

"The person who comes is Pingyang Marquis Cao Xueyang, General Cao?!" Facing Zhang Shimei's question, Cao Xueyang had no intention of answering. Instead, he chatted with Qin Hongyu on the side and allowed the soldiers behind him to challenge him.

"Marquis Cao, we only brought [-] cavalry with us this time. If Zhang Shimei takes advantage of the situation to attack, our army may be unable to resist!"

Cao Xueyang didn't seem to care about this at all, "If Zhang Shimei really dares to go out of the city to fight, it means that the defense in the city is empty at this moment. What You Yi camp saw was just Zhang Shimei's plan to mislead the enemy."

"Why is this?!" Qin Hongyu was puzzled.

And Cao Xueyang also intends to train Qin Hongyu.Although she is a woman, she has a resolute and decisive personality, strong martial arts, and is a malleable talent. It is a pity to be the leader of a game camp. If she is trained properly, she should still be able to command all the troops.

"Everything Zhang Shimei did was to convince me that the city had strong troops and he did not dare to attack. But if I brought three thousand cavalry to challenge him and he did not dare to accept the challenge, does that mean he was telling me that he did not have enough troops in the city? !”

After explaining, Cao Xueyang immediately made a bet with Qin Hongyu, "Let's make a bet that Shimei will definitely send someone to fight!"

Qin Hongyu didn't believe this, "The general feels that Zhang Shimei is cautious and must be on the safe side."

"Then it's decided! The loser will cook tonight!"

Both Qin Hongyu and Cao Xueyang have experience in cooking, and Cao Xueyang's barbecue skills are outstanding.

Cao Xueyang has been in the army for many years, and the most common delicacy is barbecue.

In Jianghu storybooks, many heroines fell in love with them over a barbecue, but those scholars who wrote the storybooks, for some reason, were able to suddenly transform from gentlemen who were cooks in distant places into high-level officials who could live in the wild. The masters who have spent their whole lives in the world are all impressed. The old masters teach them everything they can, and the beautiful girls are full of love...

This is outrageous!
……

The fighting in Cao Xueyang's army continues.

"Is it possible that King Zhao's army is all a bunch of fearless rats?! My Cao Hou invites a fight as a woman?! Zhang Shimei and Zhu Shihong dare not accept the challenge?! How dare they lead troops to fight with such courage?! Why don't we go home? Become a female celebrity!”

"Hahaha!"

The Longwu Army cavalry below the city burst into laughter, and the soldiers of King Zhao on the walls of Pingshan County were furious.

"General, the last general is asking for a fight. This Cao Xueyang is too arrogant! When the last general goes out to fight, capture this thief alive!"

Cao Xueyang clearly came here to provoke, and he probably wanted to fight the generals in front of the battle.

Although she killed three enemy chiefs and became famous all over the world, more people thought that she was lucky and did not think that Cao Xueyang was very capable!

For example, Zhang Shimei's general, Ye Yang, was Colonel Ying Yang in King Zhao's army. He had superb marksmanship and was rumored to have been inherited by the spear king of the North of the Later Han Dynasty. He killed many generals in the Battle of Houjin and was very brave.

Zhang Shimei looked at the Long Wu Army under the city and thought in his heart.

He was now not sure whether Cao Xueyang had seen through his plan of suspicion when he came here.

If he saw through it, then why didn't Cao Xueyang directly attack in a large scale and only brought these three thousand cavalry?

If he didn't see through it, then why did Cao Xueyang come here? !Isn't she afraid that all her troops will be sent out to surround and annihilate her tribe? !
……

This Cao Xueyang is really not afraid. The three thousand dragon riders she brought are all one person and two horses.The horses they ride on are all top-quality horses from the Dazhou Racecourse.

With such a cavalry configuration, Zhang Shimei's cavalry wants to pursue him? !Aren't you afraid of Mangu's evil tactics? !

The core of this tactics is to pretend to flee and induce the enemy to pursue, and its essence is speed and suddenness.

The essence of this tactic is: attack the enemy from a long distance; attack the enemy continuously; do not give the enemy a chance to fight back.

No matter how strong the enemy's spirit and armor are under this kind of attack, it is only a matter of time before they completely collapse.

Cao Xueyang's troops all possess the foundation of this kind of tactics, including strong maneuverability, superior weapons, a complete tactical system, and the proper command of the general.

Cao Xueyang's dragon cavalry had better horses than Zhang Shimei's cavalry, and their bows and crossbows had a longer range.

Cao Xueyang himself also learned many new tactics in cavalry warfare from Yang Qingyuan, including this tactic.

If Zhang Shimei really dares to attack with his entire army, he may not only be unable to deal with Cao Xueyang, but may also be defeated by Cao Xueyang.

For safety reasons, Cao Xueyang also prepared two scout cavalry on his wings to prevent Zhang Shimei from going around and outflanking.

Zhang Shimei, who was on the city wall, certainly didn't think about pressing the entire army, but allowing Cao Xueyang to be provoked like this would be great for morale, and if he couldn't avoid the battle, the previous arrangements for the suspected soldiers would be completely in vain.

Just when Zhang Shimei was about to go to battle, suddenly there was the sound of feather arrows whistling through the air, and a feather arrow was shot from under the city wall.

But its target is not anyone on the city wall, but the battle flag of King Zhao's army planted on the city wall.

With just one arrow, the battle flag originally planted on the city wall was shot down by Cao Xueyang.

However, Cao Xueyang had no intention of stopping. He drew his bow and arrow again, aimed at the second battle flag, and landed another arrow.

"Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!"

Explosive cheers came from the Longwu Army cavalry outside the city. On the other hand, the soldiers of King Zhao's Army in Pingshan County were all panicked, and all the generals were gnashing their teeth.

"General! Please allow me to go out to fight!"

Ye Yang asked for a fight again, and this time Zhang Shimei agreed to his request.

"General Ye, Cao Xueyang is also a famous general in the Tiance Army, so don't be careless!" Zhang Shimei warned worriedly.

But Ye Yang was so angry at the moment that he didn't listen.

"Please don't worry, general! Cao Xueyang is just a villain who relied on women to gain power. We will capture this person alive at the end of the day!"

After saying that, Ye Yang turned around and left with a long stride. The cloak behind him was flying in the strong wind, showing off his master's style.

"Beat the drum! Cheer!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shimei could only order the drums to be beaten, but he was still somewhat confident in Ye Yang's martial arts. Ye Yang might not be considered the best in martial arts competitions, but in battles on the battlefield, few people in the Yuanhua Realm could be Ye Yang's opponents.

"Bang!" The city gate of Pingshan County slowly opened, and Ye Yang galloped out on a white horse without a trace of color.

"The thief will stop being so rampant, let me catch you!"

……

How big is solar energy?
