This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 221 Strategy
July is midsummer, and the weather is hot and dry.

The land of Yuzhou has not been regarded as a hot place since ancient times. Even in July and August, when it is the hottest, it can still feel a few degrees of coolness.

The official road in the northern suburbs of Guyue City, which was supposed to be lively, has also become desolate and desolate.

The rebellious army blocked the North Road, and the caravan business was difficult.

Civil strife has always been life and death.

The day of stopping fighting is far away.

In the southeast of Yuzhou, the Xunshan Mountains are almost connected to the Lushan Mountains.

In the east of the mountain range, 20 troops under the command of Tianniu Taoist crossed the Han River and built camp on the grass.

20 troops is the slogan shouted by Taoist Tianniu.

After the right general Qin Hu entered Fufeng City, Taoist Tianniu, aware of the crisis, issued multiple summoning orders one after another, calling on Yuzhou's Wanping Army to go to Xunshan City to fight.

The Wanping Army of Yuzhou was mighty and mighty. After entering Xunshan City, they joined forces with Taoist Tianniu.

More than 20 elite soldiers, known as the "[-]" army, came out of the Xunshan Mountains, facing the right general's [-] tiger army, and their morale was high.

The 20 troops camped from east to west, north to south, and surrounded them for more than [-] li.

On the second day after the two armies established their camps, Qin Hu dispatched a vanguard army to fight.

The former army marched with clamor, and Tianniu Taoist's subordinates faced with the main army.

Line up on both sides, mobilize a large number of archers to ambush in the rear, and make a volley after the sound of the guns is agreed.

Qin Hu's [-] troops advanced to the front of the opponent's formation, and there was a sound of cannon fire, thousands of bows were fired from the Tianniu Taoist formation, and arrows rained from the sky.

The tiger army quickly set up shields to cover the arrows, but many people still fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.

Qin Hu in the distance was very surprised after seeing it.

"There are so many archers in the bandit army!"

Wei Kai was standing beside Qin Hu, and the two of them climbed up the temporary pile of dirt slopes. They had a very good view and could see the entire battlefield.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are at war, and probing attacks generally will not easily reveal anything.

When the opponent came up, they fired all arrows, obviously because they had plenty of weapons and supplies.

"Wan Ping Army has really become popular, a group of mobs, now they understand the way of the army formation, and they have gathered so many archers."

Qin Hu had experienced hundreds of battles, and he knew that the opponent was going to fight a protracted war when he saw the momentum of the opponent's camp.

The Wanping Army has realized the advantages of a protracted war.

As long as they resist for a while, problems will arise within the officers and soldiers.

Like Qin Hu, even though he is the right general and has won the trust of the emperor, if the battle is not going well, the suspicious emperor will definitely have doubts. At that time, Qin Hu will only end up like Lin Xiao.

The army under Taoist Tianniu occupied all the entrances to Xunshan Mountain.

Qin Hu had to defeat the 20 army, or he wouldn't be able to enter Xunshan Mountain even with his wings.

Qin Hu's goal has never been to recover the lost land, but to wipe out the bandits in Yuzhou.

So the goals of both sides are actually the same.

One thinks of forming a long battalion to resist officers and soldiers and delaying time, and the other thinks of suppressing bandits in the wild, and they will accomplish their merits in one battle.

The formation of today's trend is driven by the tacit understanding of both parties.

"Taoist Tianniu has a very high spirit. He is a monk in the alchemy state, and he has profound demon skills. Be careful of his tricks."

Beside Qin Hu, besides Wei Kai, there were other staff members.

Seeing this, they couldn't help admonishing General Right and showing off their views.

"It doesn't have much to do with the heart, does it? If you defend the city, Xunshan will have no support left and right, and you will inevitably be defeated in the future." Another scribe retorted.

The staff group under the command of the right general usually has only five people in total.

In addition to Wei Kai, the military advisor and general, there were four other scribes.

The four scribes come from different families, and they compete with each other on weekdays.

"If it is dragged into a siege battle, can Xunshan City support the consumption of 20 troops?"

"Taoist Tianniu still wants to win. Before Lushan, Wanping's army had won many times, and it was already inflated. Now the number of soldiers exceeds our army. It is normal to want to go out of the city to defeat our army."

Several staff members have different opinions.

Qin Hu never said a word, just listening to their argument.

He suddenly looked at Wei Kai, then asked with a smile, "Wei Kai, what do you think?"

Hearing that Qin Hu took the initiative to ask Wei Kai for advice, the four of them shut up.

They had been in General You's mansion longer than Wei Kai, but they couldn't win General You's trust and love like Wei Kai.

In less than a year, Wei Kai was promoted to be the chief bookkeeper.

Now that he is going to fight against the rebellious army, he is specially appointed as a military adviser and general, which can be said to be full of grace.

Wei Kai's expression was always gloomy. When he heard the general's question, he frowned and said: "The sky is dry and the things are dry. If you build a camp on grass, you are most afraid of fire attack. It is said that Taoist Tianniu is also familiar with military books, how could he not know the truth?"

"The subordinates are worried that Taoist Tianniu may have other schemes. The general might as well make preparations early and strike first."

Qin Hu fell silent again, and he looked towards the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the forwards of the Five Thousand Tiger Army were somewhat unable to withstand the opponent's rain of arrows.

The generals under his command also began to signal to the Chinese army.

Qin Hu waved his hand.

The flag bearer beside him began to wave the flag.

After a few drums sounded, two phalanxes of three thousand archers from the Chinese army pressed forward.

The archers fired left and right, and a large number of arrows flew into the sky and fell into the Wanping army formation.

The archers of the Wanping army had always aimed at the infantry phalanx at the front, but they didn't expect the archers behind them to shoot farther than them.

If you don't notice for a while, a large piece of rice will fall down when you cut the rice.

The Wanping army adjusted their formation in a hurry, and the sergeants with large shields went to the front to defend.

The tiger army forward took the opportunity to advance dozens of steps forward.

After a day of fierce fighting, the two sides tested offense and defense.

At the end, Wan Ping's army suddenly spread out like a tide.

Then a middle-aged man in a white Taoist robe came out on a high horse with a feather fan in his hand.

The middle-aged Taoist in white robes had two long beards and shouted at Qin Hu: "Today, today's people are immoral, ruthless, and the people of the Li people are suffering unspeakably. They rise up to gather righteous teachers and save the common people. Why did the general go against the grain and work for the tiger?" Woolen cloth?"

Qin Hu was about to withdraw his troops at first, but when he heard such "rebellious" words, he was furious.

He galloped out and scolded Taoist Tianniu angrily: "You don't think about serving the country, you don't think about the kindness of the king, you bully the heavens and the earth, and harm the living beings. How dare you have the face to speak of me? Today, under the order of the emperor, a large gathering of heavenly soldiers, I vow to wipe out Zhongzhou, wipe out the gangsters, and urge you to surrender as soon as possible, so that you will not suffer from swords and soldiers in the future!"

Both sides sneered, showing disdain.

Qin Hu's veins bulged out of anger. He didn't expect that these gang of thieves would take the initiative to call out, so bold.

If Wei Kai hadn't stopped him, Qin Hu would have wanted to fight at night.

He snorted coldly and returned to the camp.

The two sides called for money to withdraw their troops, and the first battle was over.

On the way back to the camp, Wei Kai introduced the military report from Wang Meng to Qin Hu.

"My lord, Wang Meng blocked Bai Cai and Gu Bo's tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Gu Yue, and prevented them from coming here to fight."

"Yesterday, Cao Su, a thousand-man general under Wang Meng's command, led an army in front of the battle, and killed a Wanping military strength school lieutenant, and then set up a life-and-death arena to compete with the masters in the city."

Qin Hu slowed down his pace. He had heard Wei Kai mention the name Cao Su more than once.

Both Wang Meng and Cao Su did a good job in the matter of "containment", but it was limited to this. Wei Kai mentioned it at this time, what is the deep meaning?
Although he thought a lot for a moment, there was still a look of approval on his face.

"Wang Meng is worthy of being a fierce general of Jiangzhou. He really lives up to his reputation. This Cao Su is also doing well. The young man is very energetic."

Wei Kai said calmly and softly: "My lord, if you go south from Guyue City, you can enter the Xunshan Mountain Range."

Qin Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly understood Wei Kai's meaning.

Sometimes partial teachers can also become the main force.

Qin Hu stopped and said dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you mention such a good plan before?"

Wei Kai shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Cao Su would directly attack Yuncheng, and Wang Meng would force the Wanping Army of Guyue City into the city. I didn't choose to enter Xunshan from here."

"Now the situation has changed. If the partial army on this road is used well, it can be worth a hundred thousand soldiers."

What Wei Kai said was the righteous art of war, how could Qin Hu not know.

He immediately thought of the many benefits of attacking Xunshan City from this route.

Now the entire Xunshan City is pouring out, and the interior of Xunshan City is empty.

If Wang Meng could harass the rear of Xunshan City, it would undoubtedly deal a major blow to the Wanping Army ahead.

However, if the Wanping Army in Gu Yue City knew that Wang Meng had left Gu Yue City, they would definitely lead their troops to attack, and it would be very dangerous for the rebellious army outside the city to hold back Gu Yue City.

Qin Hu hesitated, but made up his mind after a while.

A secret order was issued: "Order Wang Meng to immediately lead his men and horses to attack Xunshan City."

Then he added: "Young general Cao Su can stay in Guyue to fight as a check."

When Wei Kai heard Qin Hu's secret order, he handed over his hands and agreed.
