Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 271 The defeat of Pegasus Ranch is not necessarily a bad thing (Want to subscribe please)

Qin Ran's expression changed a few times, that's right, the four bandits were not the four fools. Pegasus Ranch had just forced Du Fuwei back. No matter how arrogant and arrogant they were, these four pieces of material could not be said to be more powerful than Du Fuwei. I'm afraid I wasn't ordered by someone. The real enemy is hiding in the dark, and there is someone else - Wagang Village! !
  In the original plot, it was Li Mi who led the four bandits to invade the Pegasus Ranch.

"This is bad. The cavalry from Pegasus Ranch have already set off. The cavalry attacked so quickly. I'm afraid it's too late to stop them now!" Kieran paced on the spot, frowning.

"Pfft!" Fu Junzhuo chuckled, his beautiful eyes moving with profound meaning, "The ranch is suffering from military disaster, and the beauty is in trouble. This may not be a bad thing for you!"

Qin Ran was startled and thought thoughtfully, "Indeed, it's a blessing in disguise."

He glanced at Fu Junzhuo and thought to himself, "The intelligence system of the Goguryeo people is really powerful. It seems that I have to start preparing my own intelligence system."

After a while, Qin Ran left the small courtyard and went to look for Shang Xiuxun.

At this time, the owner of the beauty field was in the study room where he worked, staring at a stack of account books in a daze.

Qin Ran walked to the door and looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she didn't turn a page for a long time, knowing that she was distracted, he coughed lightly and said, "Xiu Xun, I'm here."

"Ah!" Shang Xiuxun exclaimed softly and stood up to greet him: "Why are you here? But were you disturbed by the rallying horn just now? Don't worry, it's just rogue bandits coming. I have sent the chief deacon and his disciples to go out with their troops, and they will be here soon. If I can kill them, I won't leave them alone..."

As she was talking, Qin Ran suddenly held her little hand: "Are you worried?"

"Uh..." Shang Xiuxun was stunned and let Qin Ran hold his hand. He hesitated for a while, nodded, and sighed: "I'm always a little uneasy, and I feel like something big is about to happen. Alas, the children of the ranch are going on an expedition, and I'm like this It’s very unlucky to think about it, and I know it’s not good, but for some reason, I just can’t calm down.”

"If you're not at peace, don't do anything." Qin Ran took her hand and walked out of the study, smiling: "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"I have no appetite now." Shang Xiuxun shook his head and said worriedly: "When I was angry just now, I didn't think about it carefully. Now I calm down and think about it, I feel that the four major bandits' attack this time is a bit unusual."

After all, she was not an ordinary woman. She had been in a high position for a long time. When she was angry, she would raise troops to fight in person. Now that she calmed down, she realized something was wrong: "How dare the four major bandits to gather tens of thousands of troops to attack in such a large scale? In the past, they only dared to rob the surrounding towns and villages around the ranch. They never dared to shout slogans like "take down the ranch and have a good year."

"The madness of the four great bandits is the last act of madness before the end." Qin Ran spoke calmly and directly, giving instructions for the four great bandits, "If God wants to destroy them, they must first make them mad. The days of the four great bandits , it’s almost over. Xiuxun, don’t panic, even if something goes wrong, I’m still here!”

As he spoke, he felt extremely confident.

Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, then he was pulled up by Qin Ran, held in his arms, and put her face against his chest.

Shang Xiuxun hesitated for a moment, did not struggle, nodded obediently, narrowed his eyes slightly, and listened quietly to his strong heartbeat, as if following this man, even if the sky fell, it would not be a problem.

At the same time, a flying pigeon carrying a message flew out of the small courtyard where Qin Ran was, flying straight in the direction of Li Yang.

……

On the other side, on the battlefield, there was a blast of horns from the Pegasus Ranch. Five thousand selected warriors were fully equipped and ready to go. They held long bows and galloped with murderous intent. They drew their bows and nocked arrows, and then shot!

Bows and arrows are like locusts!

On the battlefield ahead, there seemed to be a snow-white rain of arrows. There were everywhere the sound of collapsing bowstrings, the whistling of sharp arrow feathers, and the screams of arrows piercing the flesh. The four major bandits who were invading crazily were killed, and the people who were killed turned their backs on their backs. , blood dyed the earth red.

The forward of the sneak attack team was suddenly suffocated by the sharp attack momentum.

Seeing that the sneak attack tactics didn't work, the four bandits realized that this Pegasus Ranch was not the same bunch of idiot city defenses that dispersed immediately. This beautiful owner is no ordinary person.

But fortunately, they got Li Mi's secret order and had back-up equipment.

Cao Yinglong gave an order, and amid the chants of thousands of people, behemoths were pulled out of the canyon by hundreds of war horses.

Shang Peng, the veteran leader of the army, suddenly changed his expression and lost his voice: "Trebuchet? These thieves actually have this sharp weapon in the army?"

Seeing that the enemy even had a military trebuchet, everyone in Pegasus Ranch also changed their expressions.

The four major bandits looked proud. After shouting and shouting, the green covers on the trebuchet fell down one after another, revealing the ferocious mechanical beast.

Cao Yinglong, the leader of the Four Bandits, was extremely proud. He looked at his subordinates and said: "Hurry up and install the trebuchet, destroy the cavalry at Pegasus Ranch, and rush in to snatch his mother! Haha. This beautiful farm owner, Mr. Tianfan, I have told Commander Luoyan in every possible way that I must capture them alive. Everyone else can be killed, is that clear?"

Tens of thousands of thieves from the four major bandits howled in unison, and for a while the demons danced wildly and became very noisy.

These trebuchets are genuine military goods seized from various armories after Li Mi defeated the Sui army. They are ten meters high and twenty meters long. They can throw huge rocks weighing a thousand kilograms each time. They are absolute weapons of war. In order to They were specially brought here to deal with Pegasus Ranch.

Cao Yinglong waved his hand, and the minions began to work hard to load the big rocks onto the trebuchet. Some soldiers adjusted the direction with experience, and launched wave after wave of stone attack, focusing on the Pegasus cavalry's rear path and launching, forcing them. The cavalry could only keep charging forward.

At the same time, behind the Pegasus Ranch cavalry, groups of soldiers who were obviously elite soldiers suddenly appeared and silently cut off the Pegasus Ranch's retreat.

A train of train-car iron chains were pushed out from the rebel army, like city walls, blocking all directions.

Far above, several people were standing with their hands behind their hands, looking proudly at the four bandits in front of them who were fighting fiercely with the Pegasus Ranch, gazing at the world and pointing out the country, as if it was just a fun game in front of them.

A young man with an arrogant expression and a faint sneer on his face looked down at the Pegasus Ranch and said calmly: "Is this the Pegasus Ranch? The Pegasus Ranch that is rich in fine horses?"

A pretty lady said calmly: "Master Tianfan, he is the Pegasus Ranch."

This young man was Li Tianfan, the only son who had just killed the famous Sui Dynasty general Zhang Xutuo and Li Mi, the most popular secret monkey today!
  That is, the young master of the Wagang Army.

At this time, the young master looked meaningfully at the beauty beside him.

It was this beauty who commanded and controlled the tens of thousands of troops of the Four Bandits from a distance, besieging Pegasus Ranch.

The identity of this woman is about to be revealed: Wagang Military Advisor, Qiao Military Advisor, Shen Luoyan!

As the name suggests, Shen Luoyan is really born with a beautiful appearance like a fish falling into a geese. Her beautiful eyes are like the autumn water in a lake, with her slender eyebrows, her skin is as white as jade and snow, and she has a graceful and elegant posture. , is indeed a first-class beauty.

She is about twenty-three or four years old. She has lost her youthfulness, her figure is slender and slim, and her every move reveals a charming mature charm. Moreover, her eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything always shone with the light of wisdom. Combined with the noble temperament on her body, people knew at a glance that she was a woman in a high position and holding power.

In terms of appearance alone, she is not much inferior to Shang Xiuxun, but the beauty strategist knows how to take advantage of her own advantages. She is charming every time she frowns and smiles, and with a single glance of her breathtaking eyes, she can make men fascinated.

Just the thought of this beauty being the chief strategist of the Wagang Army makes people full of desire for conquest.

Li Tianfan's passionate eyes flickered on Shen Luoyan's body.

At this time, Shen Luoyan was the most trusted military advisor of his father in the Wagang Army. This handsome young man did not dare to be disrespectful and blasphemous. He rarely acted like a courteous corporal and said with interest:

"Luoyan, behind me are the tens of thousands of warriors from the Wagang Army led by Xu Shiji. They just defeated the elite of Zhang Xutuo of the Sui Dynasty. It is easy to destroy this Pegasus Ranch. Why do you sacrifice the near for the far? Do we have to rely on the power of these four bandits?"

Shen Luoyan pondered for a moment and straightened his black hair. His exquisite body in a light yellow tight-fitting outfit looked particularly enchanting in the hunting night wind. She leaned forward slightly, generously showing off her curvy curves to the man, and said with a sweet smile:
  "Since Mr. Tianfan wants to make things difficult for the little girl, Luoyan has no choice but to talk about it. Pegasus Ranch is an indispensable condition for Mi Gong to strive for world supremacy. However, the result of my discussion with Mi Gong is that if we occupy Pegasus Ranch, If we can prevent the Wagang Army from showing up, it’s best to let the four major bandits do it.”

Shen Luoyan further explained: "There are three reasons for this. One is that Mi Gong has just attacked and killed Zhang Xutuo, and his reputation is rising. He is the leader of various rebel armies and annexes Pegasus Ranch. If we look ugly, we will inevitably lose people. see,
  Second, in two months, Cihang Jingzhai’s descendants will publicly elect the emperor in Luoyang. Mi Gong is the most promising candidate. Once he gets the support of Cihang Jingzhai, it will be of great benefit to Mi Gong’s cause. , if rumors spread that Mi Gong had invaded the Pegasus Ranch without any reason, it would inevitably affect the election of the emperor.

And Pegasus Ranch has its own merits for being able to stand here for decades without falling. If our Wagang army attacks rashly, it will inevitably lose its wings. Moreover, just when Du Fuwei attacked Pegasus Ranch, he was defeated by a mysterious master who suddenly appeared. This is a lesson learned from the past. We must learn from it. This is "Three Don'ts"

Shen Luoyan analyzed everything slowly and thoroughly, and even Li Tianfan couldn't help but sigh. This woman is truly a natural strategist. It's a pity that she has already been betrothed to Xu Shiji, otherwise it would be a good thing if she could marry her home, plan to support her at any time, and see her beautiful face when she has nothing to do.

Shen Luoyan smiled and said: "In short, the safest strategy is to let the four big bandits and these stupid people take action, while our Wagang Army picks up the fallen peaches in the dark."

Li Tianfan nodded deeply: "Before coming out, my father repeatedly told me to obey the military advisor's orders. Then please ask the military advisor to continue giving orders. Tianfan is looking forward to this battle. Our Wagang Army can harvest the Pegasus Ranch and strengthen our military power. !”

At this moment, beside Shen Luoyan, there was a mighty general, her fiancé Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji looked at the Pegasus Ranch, which was caught in the trebuchet fire and still fighting endlessly, and snorted: "Death is imminent! The trapped beast is still fighting!"

He couldn't wait to stretch his arms and smiled at Shen Luoyan: "These four bandits are useless. When will I go down and lead the Wagang warriors to kill them?" Shen Luoyan's beautiful eyes stared at the fierce battle below, He said slowly: "There is no need to worry about world achievements. Shang Xiuxun of Pegasus Ranch defeated Du Fuwei. He is definitely not a fool. This time, the secret government requires us to be absolutely safe. I have ordered some of Wagang's elite to infiltrate into the ranks of the four major bandits." , when the four major bandits take down the Pegasus Ranch, we will fight out in the name of exorcizing the bandits and make a final decision. This way, no one can tell whether they are here or not."

Xu Shiji knew that she had always made good plans, strategized, and won thousands of miles away. She was the first military advisor under Mi Gong. He laughed and said, "I just obey your orders, husband."

Shen Luoyan glared at Xu Shiji: "I haven't agreed to marry you yet."

Xu Shiji laughed dryly to relieve his embarrassment.

……

It was just getting dark and Shang Xiuxun was about to invite Qin Ran to have dinner with him when he suddenly received bad news from the front line.

"What? We were ambushed, suffered heavy casualties, the whole army was trapped, Elder Shang Peng was seriously injured? Elder Shang He... died in battle?"

Hearing the news, Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself with dull eyes: "How could it be so? How could it be so? How could the four major bandits be so powerful?"

Shang Xiuxun has always had smooth sailing since he took charge of the ranch, and has never suffered such a major setback.

When she first heard the bad news, she was so emotional that she couldn't bear it.

Qin Ran did not shy away from the presence of the great butler Shang Zhen and others. He grabbed Shang Xiuxun's slender jade hand and said solemnly: "Don't panic, even if the sky falls, I will still be there."

That calm voice that could reach people's hearts immediately calmed down Shang Xiuxun's agitated emotions. As if she had found her backbone, she held Qin Ran's hand hard and asked him expectantly: "What should we do now?"

"Confirm the news first." Qin Ran said calmly and asked the person who brought the news: "Tell me the specific circumstances of the ambush."

The person who brought the news of the defeat was Deputy Deacon Luo Fang.

This young man, now covered in blood and covered with scars, had obviously gone through a hard fight before breaking through the siege and bringing the news out.

At this time, he was sitting on a chair, receiving temporary treatment from the ranch doctor. Hearing Qin Ran's question, he immediately said with a bitter look on his face while receiving treatment:

"Before we went to the battle, we all agreed that we should use the mobility of the cavalry to catch the four bandits off guard. So after we left the ranch, we relied on the abundant horsepower of each of the two horses to go straight to the battlefield. On the plain sixty miles away On the way, we encountered the vanguard of the four major bandits with 5,000 men. Archdeacon Liang Zhi immediately led our army to attack head-on, and indeed defeated the vanguard of the four major bandits in one fell swoop..."

As Luo Fang narrated, the details of the war were slowly revealed in front of everyone.

After defeating the 5,000-strong vanguard, Liang Zhi, the deacon, immediately ordered the fine cavalry of the ranch to drive the vanguard into a rout, with the intention of driving the rout to attack the main force of the four major bandits. The two elders Liu Zongdao, the second deacon, and Shang Peng Shanghe did not object and acted according to the plan.

At the beginning, the battle went smoothly. The forward troops of the four major bandits broke out and were driven away by the ranch cavalry. They rolled back into the formation of the four major bandits' central armies like a tide, and the main force of the four major bandits' central armies was dispersed in one fell swoop.

The ranch cavalry took advantage of the situation and rushed in, taking the flags of the four bandits directly. They were going to behead the four bandits Cao Yinglong, Fang Jianding, Mao Zao, and Xiang Batian first. They would kill these four leaders and completely disorganize the bandit army, and then start again. Harvest.

But what I didn't expect was that the four major bandit armies that were dispersed by the defeated troops actually dispersed but did not collapse.

When the ranch cavalry attacked the personal guards of Cao Yinglong and others, the fleeing bandit army suddenly rushed back from all directions and organized a huge encirclement formation to surround the ranch cavalry who rushed into the formation.

After that, many sharp weapons such as catapults, horse traps, and horse slings appeared on the scene, which greatly suppressed the cavalry's living space. Large and small carriages were pushed up from all sides and connected with iron ropes to form temporary roads. city ​​wall.

With a multi-pronged approach, the ranch cavalry suddenly lost the space to accelerate their attack and were squeezed into a small area. They were forced to dismount and fight with the four major bandits.

Originally, with the fighting strength of the ranch boys, even in an infantry battle, the opposing bandits should be able to defeat one against five or even one against ten. However, after the fight, the ranch boys discovered that their opponents were actually a group of veterans. , the combat effectiveness is not inferior to them at all!
  After a period of fierce fighting, the encirclement of the four major bandits was completed, and the five thousand elite cavalry in the ranch were completely lost.

The Archdeacon Liang Zhi saw that something was not going well and urgently ordered Luo Fang to break out and report the news.

In order to cover Luo Fang's breakout, Shang Peng and Shang He were personally attacked by the four major bandits. Elder Peng was seriously injured, but fortunately, he was recaptured by the team led by Second Deacon Liu Zongdao. Elder He died at the hands of Cao Yinglong, the ghost cry god.

Due to the sacrifices of two elders and dozens of ranch children, Luo Fang finally broke through the encirclement with difficulty and returned to the ranch with more than ten wounds.

After listening to the details of the war described by Luo Fang, everyone in the ranch looked at each other and were collectively speechless for a moment.

They really couldn't believe that the four major bandits were just rogue bandits who had always been unorganized and undisciplined. When would they form a formation? When did we have the elite soldiers who fought in hundreds of battles? There is such a weapon as a catapult?

This makes them wonder if they have heard the fantasy.

Qin Ran looked as usual and asked: "When you drove the defeated troops to attack the main force of the four major bandits, was the main force of the four major bandits dispersed by the defeated soldiers, or did they disperse on their own initiative?"

Luo Fang thought about it carefully for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh hard, causing a wound on his thigh to drip with blood. He didn't realize it yet, and said in a hateful voice: "Just now, I was only focused on breaking out of the encirclement and reporting the news. I haven't thought about it in detail. Now, listen to the young master, little Only then did I remember that the central army of the four major bandits had clearly dispersed from all directions before the defeated army could rush in! Only Cao Yinglong and the other guards’ battalions of the leaders of the four major bandits remained undisturbed and carried our army forward! "

Qin Ran asked again: "When the enemy troops dispersed, did they appear to be scattered, but in fact, each group of scattered soldiers maintained an organization of dozens or hundreds of people?"

Luo Fang thought carefully and nodded slowly: "It seems...that is indeed the case!"

Qin Ran asked again: "Do the enemy soldiers who can compete with the ranch boys wear armor? Are they commanders? Do they have bows and crossbows?"

"There is armor! Not only leather armor, but also iron armor!" Luo Fang gritted his teeth: "There are elite enemy troops with hooks and sickles, stabbing knights on top and hooking horses' legs on the bottom. There are a large number of crossbowmen to intercept, and Deacon Liu Er once organized Once the cavalry broke through, but were forced back by enemy arrows!"

By now the Q&A was going on, Qin Ran felt very clear in his heart.

With the organizational power of the low-level bandits under the four major bandits, it was simply impossible to create such a sophisticated ambush on the endless plains. First, a rabble was used to attract the attention of the elite riders on the ranch, and further encourage the children of the ranch to underestimate the enemy. Then use that group of cannon fodder to lure the ranch boys into their ambush.

Among them, the most subtle point is that this ambush is not set in a dangerous place, but set out on the endless plain.

If it is a dangerous place, the ranch riders will definitely be vigilant. But if it were on flat ground, who would have thought that an ambush could be set up on flat ground? Or setting up an ambush against the cavalry?

The cavalry is the king of the plains, and the Ranch Cavalry boasts that it is invincible in the plains. It can defeat tens of thousands of rogues. But they didn't expect that the enemy designers took advantage of their mentality of underestimating the enemy.

When the ranch cavalry drove away the broken troops and rolled back into the formation, the main force of the enemy's army dispersed on its own initiative. It seemed that it was dispersed, but in fact it was scattered but not chaotic, and it still maintained a small organization.

As soon as the ranch cavalry saw the enemy's central army dispersed, based on their past impressions of the four bandits, they thought that the enemy would be in chaos without fighting. They underestimated the enemy and were careless, so how could they care to observe carefully? Of course, he directly charged into the battle.

When the Ranch Jingqi rushed into the Chinese army, intending to kill Cao Yinglong and other four major bandits, Cao Yinglong and others immediately commanded the guard battalion to entangle the Ranch Jingqi. There is no need to resist for too long. As long as they struggle for a while, the scattered Chinese army can counterattack and encircle the ranch cavalry trapped in the center of the rogue army!

Originally, it was extremely difficult to counter-encircle the cavalry on the plains.

Because the cavalry saw that the situation was not good, they could use their mobility to quickly leave the battlefield, fight when they wanted, and leave when they wanted.

However, the Ranch Jingqi was really trapped in too deep, with enemy troops "fleeing" in all directions.

By the time the ranch knights realized something was wrong, the rogue army had already rushed back and formed an encirclement. Catapults blocked the retreat, horse pits and horse ropes were arranged, and even vans and iron ropes prepared in advance were used to form a temporary city wall. There are also hooks, sickles, spearmen and crossbowmen who can restrain the cavalry. As a result, the ranch cavalry can't even break through.

The four great bandits would not be able to carry out such an interlocking plan.

Even if it were made, they would not be able to execute it with the organizational power of their rogue bandits.

Only a military strategist who is proficient in military strategy can ingeniously formulate this kind of plan to fake defeat on the plains and counterattack the encircling cavalry.

Only warriors who have experienced many battles can carry out such a plan! Only then can we withstand the assault of the ranch’s elite cavalry in a frontal battle!

Qin Ran thought to himself: "Such a battlefield layout, interconnected and delicate, looks like a woman's technique. As I expected, this ambush must be the layout of Shen Luoyan, the chief strategist of Wagang! He is responsible for the deception Those who were defeated, encircled, and fought in formation must be the warriors of Wagang, and maybe even the warriors of Wagang will be present!"

Qin Ran couldn't help but lick his lips because of the elite soldiers and generals of Wagang Village and the handsome military advisor Shen Luoyan who was full of tricks.
