Chapter 212 Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and make the mountain red all over

After briefly cleaning the battlefield at Qingyunkou, Lin Qian led the army to quickly capture Yunzhou City again and repair it in Yunzhou City.

At night, another scout on a glider flew out of Yunzhou City, with Yunzhou City as the center, flying in all directions to inquire about the movements of the barbarians.

This time, there was no mountain to help them in the south, so they couldn't come back, but they were able to take the opportunity to return to Dagan territory. After returning to Dagan territory, they could send news to Lin Qian through Wen Palace.

The Sixteenth City of Yanyun was originally the territory of Dagan. Although it was occupied by the barbarians, the national fortune of the barbarians has covered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun over the years, but this is a weak area after all, and Lin Qian led [-] cavalry to capture Shuozhou, After Huanzhou and Yunzhou, this kind of national destiny suppression became even weaker.

With the strength of Lin Qian's fourth grade, he could vaguely sense the Wen Palace. A poem from Heaven not long ago made Lin Qian completely aware of the Wen Palace's existence, making it possible to transmit information through the Wen Palace.

As the scouts left one by one, a few hours later, Lin Qian received the first message from the scouts and marked it on the map in front of him.

A few more hours passed, and the barbarian troop deployment map appeared on the map in front of Lin Qian again.

At this time, Lin Qian and his party were in Yunzhou, and the southern Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, and Yuzhou had all been occupied by the barbarian army, completely blocking any possibility of their return south.

And from Yingzhou, an army of about 2 people was marching towards Yunzhou, and it seemed that they wanted to entangle Lin Qian and the others.

"Let's set off immediately to ambush this barbarian army in Sangxiayuan, and then take advantage of Yingzhou's empty troops and rush out of the encirclement from the middle area between Yingzhou and Huanzhou!"

Lin Zhen pointed to the map and said excitedly that he saw a chance to get out.

Lin Qian was also looking at the map. Of course he also saw the flaw that the elder brother said. A large army of barbarians went deep alone, which really gave them a chance.

But if they return to Hongdu Mansion just like this, after they plundered the barbarian hinterland, the barbarian army will indeed need some time to recuperate, and it will be able to win a few years of respite for Daqian, but it is foreseeable that when the barbarians once again When they go south, it will be a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred. At that time, I am afraid that they will really have to fight for life and death.

If it is a decisive battle with the barbarians, with the current situation, a few years must not be enough. They still need to do more things and buy more time.

But this is indeed a rare good time. If they don't take the opportunity to return to the south now, their lone army may not be able to go back.

After a long silence, Lin Qian finally nodded in agreement.

It wasn't that he regretted his life, nor that he was reluctant to bear the lives of these 3 cavalrymen. Since he went deep into the hinterland of the barbarians alone with him, these [-] people might not have thought of going back.

He is not proud of his talents, but he can be sure that without him presiding over the reform, no matter how much time is given to Daqian, it is impossible to be the opponent of the barbarians!
So he also needs to protect himself!
Although the time of a few years is very tight, it is not impossible to try.

After determining the tactics and strategy, he rested overnight in Yunzhou, and the army quickly went south, waiting for the arrival of the barbarian army in Kuangxiayuan.

The allocation of 2 barbarian soldiers is considered. With the combat effectiveness of the barbarian cavalry, 2 people can deal with [-] cavalry, and at the same time, there will be no shortage of troops due to too many troops.

But this large army of cavalry was led by Lin Qian. Now that they have won consecutive battles, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they even have the confidence that gods can block and kill gods, and Buddhas can block all Buddhas.

At the same time, Sangxia was originally a hilly forest plain, one of the most suitable terrains for cavalry ambushes. They only need to ambush on the hilly forests on both sides of the road that the barbarian army must pass through, and when the barbarian army passes by, they will charge down from both sides and kill them. The barbarian army was cut off, and then divided and strangled while the barbarian army was in chaos.

In the moon valley, on the hills and forests on both sides, Lin Qian and his army have been waiting here for two days, but the barbarian army that was supposed to arrive yesterday has not yet appeared.

The battlefield fell into a terrifying silence. Not only was the fighter plane delayed, but the morale of the army was also affected.

"Let's go south and attack Yingzhou City!"

In the camp, Lin Zhen also felt the morale that had begun to decline, and gritted his teeth and pointed to Yingzhou City on the map.

Yingzhou City is undoubtedly another tough bone. The loss this time may be more severe than the attack on Qingyunkou, but as long as Yingzhou City is captured, they can go south unimpeded and return to Daqian territory.

Lin Qian shook his head, "If Yingzhou is attacked, if it cannot be captured in a short period of time, the barbarians from Huanzhou and Yuzhou will support our army from the left and right wings, and we will have no chance if we are surrounded."

"Then hit Huanzhou!" Bi Xujie looked at Huanzhou to the west of Yingzhou City.

"The barbarians in Shuozhou and Yingzhou can also provide support."

"Then hit Shuozhou!"

"Huanzhou is on the only way to Shuozhou!"

Lin Qian looked helplessly at Bi Xujie, who was already a little out of control, and finally glanced at Wuzhou in the northeast direction. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind, "Let's fight Wuzhou!"

"what?"

Not only Bi Xujie, but everyone in the camp who heard the news widened their eyes and opened their mouths, thinking that they had auditory hallucinations.

"What's the use of taking down Wuzhou? There are Xinzhou and Weizhou in the south, and there's no way to go south after taking down Wuzhou."

"Who said we were going south?"

Lin Qian looked at the elder brother who asked the question with a smile that was not a smile, and there was no doubt or confusion in his eyes, "After taking down Wuzhou, we will cross the Great Wall again from Lingyundu, then go straight north, and then attack the barbarian king's court!"

The barbarians are brave, but very superstitious. They worship and believe in barbarian gods. The royal court is like a holy place in their hearts. If they can capture the royal court, it will undoubtedly have a huge blow to their morale.

If they can capture the royal court, their mission this time will be considered a successful completion!
"Nowadays, the barbarian army is distributed in the southern area of ​​Yunzhou. On the contrary, Wuzhou's defense is weak. If there is a chance to win, even if Wuzhou cannot be taken in the end, as long as we attack Wuzhou, so that the defending barbarians dare not leave the city, we will be able to fight. Taking the opportunity to cross Lingyundu is like jumping out of the encirclement of the barbarian army."

Lin Qian continued.

Everyone in the camp smiled wryly. This is indeed a jump out of the encirclement, but entered another dead zone.

"I agree!"

When everyone was silent, Lin Zhen stood up without hesitation.

Although the rest of the people were a little hesitant, they would not object. Now that they are in danger, why not give it a go, and compared to their own judgment, the governor of Hongdu Mansion who has led them to victory countless times , seems more trustworthy.

……

"They must still be waiting to ambush us at Kushitahara!"

In the barbarian camp in Weizhou, Touman showed a smug smile, obviously very satisfied with his micromanagement.

Ever since Lin Qian and the others easily jumped out of the encirclement and returned south from Qingyunkou, he suspected that Lin Qian had a special way to detect the movement of their army.

So when Pu Ribei proposed to send a large army from Yingzhou to attack Yunzhou and entangle the large army, he agreed without hesitation, and then ordered them to Return to Yingzhou.

Especially looking at Kuang Xiayuan, who is very suitable for cavalry ambushes, he is [-]% sure that Lin Qian will lead someone to ambush them there. If this is the case, they should wait until they die before they can wait for the cavalry they want to ambush.

Even if his guess is wrong, it doesn't hurt. Now they have laid a net around Yunzhou City, and even ambushed a group of people outside Qingyun's mouth. This time, they can't escape!
Time passed day by day, and the encirclement of the barbarian army continued to shrink. Some scouts had already explored the vicinity of Kuangxiayuan, but they did not find any large army that might be ambushing here, not even a hair.

Touman couldn't help doubting his guess, but he wasn't the type to blame others. Even if he guessed wrong, Lin Qian didn't lead people to ambush in Sangxiayuan, it didn't hurt. Under his siege, don't say three Wan Dajun, even a mosquito can't fly out!
"My lord, there is a group of cadres outside Wuzhou City, and they are attacking Wuzhou City. The defender of Wuzhou City is asking for reinforcements."

At this moment, a scout came galloping from outside and entered the big tent to report.

"Do the army?"

Besides Lin Qian's [-] cavalry, who else could be the army that appeared at this time?

Touman was taken aback. He only cared about Lin Qian's return to the south. The defense in the east was not that tight. He had to admire Lin Qian's strategic vision. He was always able to find where his defense was weak and then launch an attack.

But this time, he hit the iron plate. The defender of Wuzhou City is his most trusted confidant, Captain Damu, and there are [-] defenders in Wuzhou City, which are enough to deal with Lin Qian's attack. city.

How could he have left such a big opening after making a mistake once? Even though the defense in the east was relatively weak, it was only compared to the tight defense in the south, and it did not mean that Lin Qian could easily pass through.

"What is he going to attack Wuzhou for?"

Touman looked at the map and quickly came to a conclusion. Although this conclusion is extremely absurd, after eliminating all wrong answers, no matter how outrageous the final answer is, it can only be the correct answer.

"He actually wants to attack the royal court!"

Touman also had to admire Lin Qian's willpower. Under such a desperate situation, what he thought of was not to escape, but how to fight back, and he was able to put it into practice, and he was able to do this. This is indeed a great achievement. talent!

"Why didn't my barbarians have such a great talent?"

Touman glanced at the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks in the big tent, and his mood immediately became depressed, but he still quickly made arrangements. The barbarian army gathered at Lingyundu, and at the same time kept the royal court airtight, and did not give Lin Qian anything at all. Chance.

Lin Qian knew the importance of the barbarian king's court, so of course he did.

……

Outside Wuzhou City, at dusk, the army launched an attack on Wuzhou City.

Lin Zhen frowned, Wuzhou City's defense was much stronger than they imagined.

They had been besieging the city for several hours. Although this time it was not as tragic as Qingyunkou, the loss was still quite a lot, but Wuzhou City was still as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no sign of it being breached at all.

This is related to their lack of sufficient siege equipment, but more importantly, the defense of Wuzhou City is tight, and the guards are even more calm and calm, with the momentum of soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth.

Soon, as night fell, Lin Qian called Jin to withdraw his troops.

Brother Damu stood at the top of the city and looked at the retreating army, with a sneer on his face. Originally, he thought that he was in Wuzhou City in the rear, and he would not be able to catch up with this wave of military industry. Give him military merit.

He has confidence in Wuzhou City and himself, and he is sure to drag this army here, drag it to the encirclement of the army, and strangle this army.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and another morning comes.

Brother Damu stood on the top of the city early in the morning. He knew that the army could not hold back, so he would definitely launch an attack as soon as possible. He liked to watch this army launch wave after wave of attacks in despair, and then was defeated again and again. The scene of repelling himself and finally destroying in despair.

But it didn't take long before he frowned.

It was too quiet outside, unnaturally quiet.

Without hesitation, he sent out the scouts again.

Of course he sent dozens of scouts last night, but none of them came back. This is also reasonable. Everyone who goes out of the city under the siege of the army will be chased and killed by the besieged army.

After losing hundreds of people one after another, he temporarily stopped sending out scouts because it didn't make any sense.

Soon, the scouts came back, and the place outside the city where the Qianjun was stationed had already been deserted. Not only that, there were no traces of the Qianjun in a radius of dozens of miles outside the city.

"Are they ghosts?"

Brother Dam couldn't help cursing angrily. He originally thought that the barbarian generals were too useless to allow this army to survive in the encirclement for such a long time, but after fighting this army head-on, he realized that this army is so powerful. How difficult it is to be an army.

Brother Dam is also worthy of being an experienced veteran, he quickly guessed the possible whereabouts of the army.

But it's too late to stop it now, several hours have passed before dawn, and with the time last night, the army may have passed Lingyundu!

"Since we were going to leave Lingyundu, why did we attack Wuzhou City?"

Ling Yundu, at this time the army had completely crossed the Great Wall, Bi Xujie finally couldn't help asking, this time it was his subordinates who were in charge of attacking Wuzhou City, and he felt that his heart was bleeding after suffering heavy losses.

Lin Qian didn't answer his question. In fact, Bi Xujie himself knew that if they didn't attack Wuzhou City, they would not be able to hide their whereabouts from Lingyundu to cross the Great Wall. Crossing and attacking, I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of being wiped out.

It's just that such a heavy loss made him feel a little heartbroken.

After crossing Lingyundu, there was another barbarian tribe in front of him. Bi Xujie turned the grief in his heart into killing intent, and led his men all the way northward on blood.

Soon, they came two hundred miles away from the barbarian royal court again, and saw the coalition army composed of women, children and children.

Lin Qian could even see the ferocious eyes of these children holding weapons. Facing the army, they didn't have the slightest fear, but instead had an urge to try.

Living on the grasslands, they have long been accustomed to the life of the weak and the strong. Whether it is slaughtering livestock or companions, they can do it without hesitation. Here, even if it is for a piece of exquisite jewelry or a beautiful porcelain bowl, they may Pay the price with your life.

So they have long been used to life and death, they don't care about other people's lives, and they don't care about their own lives, so there are no old people in this coalition army!

The only thing that can make them obey is absolute power.

"kill!"

Lin Qian retreated last time.

But this time, he rushed over with his long sword first, and then there was a thunderous roar, and more than 2 cavalry rushed towards the coalition army like a torrent. Get up, let the horse gallop under your crotch, roar and rush towards the barbarians on the opposite side.

Even if it was just a coalition army composed of women, children and children, they were not at all afraid of the charge of the large army. Instead, they launched a countercharge while the large cavalry was charging, and rushed over fearlessly.

When the distance between the two sides was still a few hundred meters, the archers and riders on both sides began to fire crossbow arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows covered each other.

But it was just two salvos, and the two sides had already collided.

boom!
Like two waves colliding with each other, countless waves flew out at once, and people were thrown off their feet, and some people were even knocked into the air at a height of more than ten meters.

An hour later, less than [-] Dagan cavalry chased the thousands of barbarians fleeing in front of them, and chased them for a hundred miles. It was not until another barbarian came to meet them that the Dagan army slowly retreated.

There was no doubt about the outcome of the battle. Although the barbarians were fierce, they were only a coalition of children, women and children, and they were facing [-] elite troops selected by Lin Qian from among the cavalry.

Although the barbarians were not afraid of death, they were not really fearless. After several rounds of charges wiped out nearly half of their people, they finally failed to suppress the fear in their hearts and began to flee.

The barbarian royal court was 150 miles away, and Lin Qian regrouped.

Of the 7000 cavalry he brought out, there were only [-] left at this time, nearly half of the loss!

Under normal circumstances, this team would have collapsed long ago, but now, their spirits are still very good, and their morale is like a rainbow!
Because of their continuous victories, they are like an entrepreneurial team. In the early stage of entrepreneurship, because of the dreams in their hearts and the momentum in their careers, everyone can make retreats and ignore personal conflicts.

Lin Qian knew that as long as they could keep winning, even if there were only 1 people left in the end, this team would not disband.

It's a pity that Lin Qian didn't have enough time to cultivate a team with ideals and beliefs, just like the army in his previous life, that way, even if he lost a hundred battles, the team would not disperse!
"Why don't you continue to pursue and rush into the barbarian royal court?"

This time, even Lin Zhen had doubts. They defeated the barbarian coalition forces. Although they encountered a supporting cavalry, that cavalry was only 5000 strong. royal court!
"Do you make the same mistake twice?"

Lin Qian looked in the direction of the barbarian royal court, as if he had seen traps everywhere.

Lin Zhen understood this truth, "But, since you knew from the beginning that you couldn't take down the barbarian king's court, why did we have to cross from Lingyun?"

"Who said my target is the barbarian royal court?"

Lin Qian showed a happy smile.

All the officers present were stunned, "The target is not the barbarian royal court, so what?"

……

On the ruins of the Xuzuo tribe's camp, Touman pitched his tent here.

At this time, he had received a report from the guard of Wuzhou, Brother Damu, that the soldiers led by Lin Qian had passed through Lingyundu. At the same time, the barbarian king's court was attacked violently by the soldiers, and the [-] coalition forces they improvised were defeated.

Could it be wrong?
The last time the dry soldiers encountered the coalition forces, they all retreated directly. The reason why they chose to attack this time must be because they knew they could not escape, so they decided to hit the fish and kill the net!

It's a pity, if he really goes to the royal court, he must be very happy for the big gift I prepared for him!

"Pass my order, the barbarian coalition forces and the royal court guards will continue to guard the royal court and resolutely keep the dry soldiers out of the royal court."

"Let Maodun lead the troops to rush towards the royal court from the west, and block the west for me. If the dry soldiers break out from the west, I will take him as a questioner."

"Let Lou Fan rush forward from the royal court to build a defense line to the east, and the army will follow me to the north to block the south!"

Touman's joy is beyond words. At this time, the encirclement of the army has been further narrowed. Even if Lin Qian uses his soldiers like a god, there is very little room for him to move around. He wants to see how Lin Qian escapes this time the palm of his hand.

However, time passed day by day, and five days passed in a blink of an eye. Looking at the gradually shrinking encirclement, Touman once again fell into deep thought.

Gan Bing actually disappeared again.

"Don't worry, everyone, narrow the encirclement according to the original plan. They must be hiding somewhere. As long as we don't mess up our positions, they will definitely not be able to hide in the end!"

Touman was not in a hurry, he could be sure that Lin Qian and the others would not be able to escape the northern border, because this time, he had left a heavy defense at Lingyundu and Qingyunkou, it was almost impossible for Lin Qian to repeat his old tricks and cross the Great Wall again things.

"Report, Brother Damu, the guard of Lingyundu, has sent news that Qianjun has appeared outside Lingyundu!"

At this moment, a scout from outside the big tent galloped over, bringing news that Touman almost couldn't suppress his anger. This Lin Qian was really a rat, and he was able to slip out of this kind of encirclement.

"Let Lou Fang's troops go to support Brother Damu, attack back and forth, and will definitely wipe out this army at Lingyundu!"

Touman was not in a hurry, because he left [-] soldiers and horses to defend Lingyundu, and the guard was his confidant and beloved general Damu. He was able to guard Lin Qian in Wuzhou City, and with the steepness of Lingyundu, he could block Lin Qian's defense. Lin Qian must not be a problem.

However, in less than half an hour, another scout came to report, "Lingyundu fell, and the [-] defenders and Brother Dam's army were wiped out!"

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

With such a heavy loss, Rao Touman couldn't help feeling that his heart was bleeding.

"When the Gan army attacked Lingyundu from the north, suddenly a Gan army appeared behind the Lingyundu defenders. There were tens of thousands of them. Under the front and back attack, our army resisted tenaciously for an hour. Annihilated!"

"How is it possible, where did he get tens of thousands of troops?"

It was another tactic to attack Qingyunkou. Brother Damu knew about the battle of Qingyunkou. He couldn't be fooled by Lin Qian, and Lingyundu was not Qingyunkou. Qingyunkou had captured Yunzhou because of Lin Qian, and there were people in Yunzhou They helped each other, but Wuzhou was in their hands from the beginning to the end. Where did Lin Qian get reinforcements?

Even if the people of Wuzhou gathered tens of thousands of people, it would be of no use at all. The ones he stayed in Lingyundu were the best of the best. With those farmers alone, no matter how many people there were, it was impossible to win.

Touman didn't believe it at all, and even suspected that the scout in front of him was passing false information.

"It's the 20 troops guarding Hongdu Mansion. After we went north and crossed the Great Wall, they dispatched the whole army. In just five days, they divided their troops and captured the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. We stayed in Yanyun Ten The strength of the Six Cities can't stop it at all..."

"Right now, the sixteenth city of Yanyun is full of red flags flying."

Touman, who was standing in the big tent, suddenly swayed. As a first-rank Martial God, he felt a little dizzy.

He put all his attention on Lin Qian, but forgot that this time it was not only the 20 cavalry, but also the [-] army!

This Lin Qian was simply a bait, a bait that looked alluring but stuck in his mouth!
It's just that in the past, when the army saw that they didn't back away, they were considered to have a backbone. He never expected that they would dare to counterattack.

His 40 troops marched south and lost more than [-] in Qianliyuan. Later, Lin Qian's [-] cavalry beheaded more than [-] troops. The [-] troops in Lingyundu were wiped out, and the [-] troops left behind in Yanyun Sixteen City were also wiped out. , the rear of the northern border was even disturbed by Lin Qian's [-] cavalry, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover.

What's even more exasperating is that with the 25 troops in his hands, trying to recapture Yanyun Sixteen City again is tantamount to a dream.

He had painstakingly planned the unification plan for hundreds of years, but it died. This battle wiped out all his background.

Why did the battle that was supposed to be victorious end up like this?
Touman couldn't figure it out.
