Chapter 965

Xue Wei's troops have already marched forty miles northward.

Right now, it was almost morning.

This speed is not very fast, because Xue Wei needs his subordinates to maintain their physical strength.

Wan Zhong followed behind Xue Wei. He first took people to check the nearby terrain, then ran to Xue Wei, bowed his head and said: "General, Xiache Town is ahead."

Xue Wei also looked around, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Give me the general's order, march forward slowly in formation."

Xue Wei was a man who had no rules in fighting in his early years, all relying on a word of recklessness.

This kind of personality began to change after Shen Yi asked him to lead troops to Fujian to fight Japanese pirates, but was ambushed by Japanese pirates and suffered a small loss.

Since then, although Xue Wei was still reckless when fighting on the battlefield, he was more cautious than anyone else when leading the troops.

This caution is reflected in every aspect.

Wan Zhong clasped his fists and said, "The general will follow orders."

Soon, the marching speed of this vanguard army began to slow down. Although there was no formation, it was already arranged according to the formation.

In this case, if you encounter a special situation, you only need to give an order to quickly form an array and quickly form a combat force.

Not long after this vanguard army changed, Wan Zhong hurriedly approached Xue Wei again, and said in a low voice: "The scouts are five miles away and found the enemy's traces!"

Xue Wei nodded silently, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Stop marching, and stand in line to meet the enemy!"

This Huai'an army quickly began to change formations, but not defensive formations, but offensive formations.

The distance of five miles was only a matter of moments for the army to march in a hurry. Not long after, there was a cannon shot, followed by a hasty cannon shot.

There were shouts of killing from all directions.

Xue Da was not afraid, he stood on a high place, the long knife on his waist was unsheathed, and his eyes were murderous: "Brothers, it's time to make contributions!"

"This is the first contribution of our Northern Expedition. If others want to take it, they still can't get the first contribution!"

General Xue pointed his sword ahead, and said viciously: "Light the torch! Go north with all your strength, and charge over there!"

At this moment, Xue Wei obviously knew that he was surrounded.

At this time, it is useless to fight in all directions, and it will only be effective if you break through with all your strength.

At this time, the people around Xue Wei, whether they were recruits or old soldiers, were basically brought up by him himself, and all of them had been on the battlefield. After hearing the order, they almost didn't stop, and immediately started heading north.

At this time, the enemy from the north came from the south, Xue Dabei went up, the two sides collided within just a cup of tea, General Xue swung his knife fiercely, and chopped off a big head!
And Wan Zhong's kung fu has improved a lot in the past few years, especially in the East China Sea battle last year, which changed him a lot. Now, while commanding calmly, he drew his sword out of its sheath, took the lead, and fought with the Qi people.

The silent night was drowned by the sound of shouting and killing!

…………

At the same time, Shen Yi and the others were still about [-] miles behind, following Xue Wei and the others unhurriedly. When the news of the fighting on the front line reached Shen Yi's ears, the battle had already been fought for about half an hour. up.

Master Shen and Su Ding stood together, Su Ding was half a body behind Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, General Xue has already started fighting with Qi people, shall we catch up immediately?"

Shen Yi folded his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Wait a little longer."

"Xue Wei goes north, and these Qi people will surround him more and more tightly. The longer the time, the more enemies Xue Wei will have in the south."

Master Shen lowered his brows and said: "The enemy to the south of Xue Wei is also the enemy between him and us."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and said: "But don't be too hasty, I mean, complete the encirclement situation before dawn."

"After dawn, they will definitely find that Xue Wei is still following our large group of enemies. It will be difficult to surround them if they want to encircle them."

Su Ding nodded, and then said: "General Xue is surrounded by enemies, but at most we can only surround them on one side of the enemy, I'm afraid the number will not be too many."

Master Shen smiled and said: "There should be two to three thousand people. There is no rush to fight such a thing. Even if it is to destroy one or two enemies, as long as we don't suffer, we can kill them."

Su Ding nodded: "Mr. Shen is right."

He looked up at the still dark night, and said in a low voice, "Then this subordinate will go get ready."

Master Shen nodded silently, and then warned: "Ling Su should be marching north now, whether it is him or General Su, you must fight well and beautifully in the first battle of the Northern Expedition."

Shen Yi paused and asked, "General Su should be able to understand what I mean?"

The Northern Expedition was a matter of resistance in the imperial court. Even up to now, the imperial court has not made up its mind about the Northern Expedition. Even Emperor Hongde himself has no way to change this situation. Shen Yi can only let Shen Yi "see" fight".

Under such circumstances, in the first battle of the Northern Expedition, one must win but not lose, and one must win beautifully, so that Shen Yi can gain political capital for his next move in court.

Otherwise, Master Shen might not even be able to be a lone hero, and the plan for the Northern Expedition would have to be shelved for the time being.

Su Ding felt awe in his heart, bowed his head and said, "The general will understand!"

"Ah."

Master Shen waved his hand and said, "Go on your own."

Su Ding cupped his fists, turned around and strode away.

And that half-baked military strategist Li Zhun cautiously leaned over after seeing Su Ding leave. He stood behind Shen Yi and said, "Shen Yilang, the student understands your intention."

Master Shen turned his head and glanced at him with a smile: "Tell me, what is my intention?"

Li Zhun quickly said: "Shen Shilang, you want to let General Xue lead the army to the north and attract the Qi people to encircle him, because our army was almost surrounded by the Qi people when they raided the north bank last time, this time the Qi people may join us More troops, come to encircle General Xue!"

"And my main force is to hide where we are, and catch up with the enemy in one fell swoop when the enemy invests a lot of troops!"

"At that time, General Xue will fight south, and my main force will go north. If we encircle the east and west, we will be able to eat a piece of Qi's flesh!"

Master Shen squinted his eyes and looked at Li Zhun, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I just mentioned these things to Xue Da, and he figured it out. Now that my army is about to send it, Mr. Li can see it. Isn't it a bit late?"

Li Zhun's face turned red, and then he bowed his head and said, "Student...student has little knowledge..."

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded and said with a smile: "It's a bit shallow, but it doesn't matter. It's not easy for you to understand the marching formation when you first joined the army. Follow the Huai'an army to see more."

Master Shen patted him on the shoulder.

"Sir, the art of war is dead after all. If you watch the battlefield more and experience more experience, you will be able to become a master of art of war in the future."

With a respectful expression, Li Zhun lowered his head and said, "Student...understood."

"Thank you, Shen Shilang, for your suggestion."

…………

Day will dawn.

At this time, Xue Wei and others had traveled northward for more than 50 miles, and had been fighting the Qi people for nearly two hours.

During these two hours, Xue Wei's troops even gained an advantage in some battles by virtue of orders and prohibitions, as well as rich combat experience. Not only were they not narrowed by the Qi people, but they fought northward for more than ten miles.

It's a pity that Qi people's encirclement is quite tough, until now, he has not found a way to break out of the encirclement.

The long knife in Xue Wei's hand was stained with blood, and after killing another Qi person who was oncoming, he looked up at the sky, then at the south, and frowned slightly.

But he quickly calmed down and shouted: "Let's charge again, don't let these bearded bastards form a formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gorgeous firework exploded in the night sky to the south of him, splashing everywhere.

General Xue cheered up and laughed loudly.

"No need to rush, no need to rush!"

He laughed loudly: "Go back to the teacher, go back to the teacher!"

"Go back to the teacher and head south!"
