Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 588 Battle
The biggest taboo in controlling people is to use people without trusting them.

The coach changed, and Fang Congkun and Ma Jing did not deal with each other, so naturally they would not listen to his suggestions.

Ma Jing has been immersed in the battlefield all year round and is a very experienced veteran, while Fang Congkun's military methods are a little immature.

It is true that he is familiar with military books and knows the thirty-six strategies by heart, but in the end it cannot replace actual combat experience.

Military strategy needs to be based on the times and follow the trend, not rigid words and dogma.

This time, Lord Liang spent his time in Mingyue Pavilion trying his best to spread the news about Ma Jing and the prince's secret exchanges into the palace.

The line that had been buried for more than half a month was finally closed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rongxi couldn't help but look back at the broken mountain, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

But Nan Zhen was not here, so no one could understand the emotion in his eyes.

"Zong Bei, please order people to guard the checkpoint and be ready to respond to the enemy at any time. In addition, the main camp of Liang Army is some distance away from here. Since they can avoid our surveillance and transport large quantities of black powder, they must have a set route."

Xiao Rongxi looked around and continued, "I have sent Fei Liu to look for him. After he is found, you arrange your men to quietly follow this road and don't alert the snake."

"clear."

Zong Bei nodded to the deputy general next to him, briefly explained a few words, and then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, since Liang Jun knows that something fishy here has been discovered by us, this road must have been blocked."

Xiao Rongxi nodded, "I have the same idea, but things happened suddenly last night, and the other party changed their coach, so I'm afraid they haven't had time to prepare for this."

According to Ma Jing's behavior and judgment of the situation, an attack will be launched early today at the latest.

But so far, there is no news about Liang Guo's military camp's departure, so it must have not been clarified internally.

This is their chance.

Zongbei thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, are you planning to take the initiative to attack?"

"Yes." Xiao Rongxi responded, "We ordered our troops yesterday, it's time to set off."

If Liang Jun doesn't move, they should take the lead.

This battle is very important in terms of the overall momentum. If we can win, we will be unfavorable in the future.

Zongbei cupped his fists and said, "I will make arrangements now."

The red torches illuminated the entire mountain, and a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon. Xiao Rongxi left a team of people to continue searching the mountain, while he returned to the camp, dressed up, and led the army to attack Liang Jun's camp.

"Report——"

The voice of the spies comes with the daylight.

Fang Congkun was arranging his clothes when he heard movement outside the tent and ordered someone to come in, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, someone from the Great Zhou Dynasty is here!"

Fang Congkun stood up immediately, "So fast!"

He had just arrived last night, and originally wanted to rest and wait for work. After settling the relationship between people and things in the camp today, he would then raise his troops to attack.

I never thought that the other party would move so fast.

"How many people are there? What's the distance?"

Spy: "It is estimated to be tens of thousands. They are only ten miles away from us. The Emperor of Zhou personally led the troops."

Fang Congkun frowned and looked at the people nearby, "Tell me to go down and prepare for battle!"

"Yes."

The two armies met on a slope.

The slope is slightly tilted, so the Zhou army goes downhill and the Liang army goes uphill.

Although Ma Jing lost his position as head coach, he was still on the march.

At this moment, he looked at the swooping down Zhou army, picked up his long sword, cursed an idiot, and then stepped forward to meet them.

This idiot was naturally scolding Fang Congkun.

He also wanted to take advantage of the downward slope, but the opponent's attacks from the east and west caused Fang Congkun to misjudge the speed of the Zhou army. As a result, they were at a disadvantage when the battle began.

Xiao Rongxi stood on his horse and chopped down one person casually.

The horses neighed and the drums beat loudly. The knife penetrated the flesh and blood and took away many lives in an instant.
