Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 265

The soldiers of the Twelve Guards did not disappoint Li Shimin.

On the second day Luo Yan was stationed in Zuoweiwei camp, a general from Youxiaowei came to the door with three school lieutenants, and asked Luo Yan to compete with them on bow and horse by name.

If it is about other competitions, with You Xiaowei's ability, there is still a chance of winning by one or two points.But it's just a coincidence that the unlucky one wants to come up to seek death, so who can blame him.The thousand elite soldiers under Luo Yan didn't even have any interest in watching it, and it was meaningless to watch the competition that already knew the result.On the contrary, Zuo Weiwei's soldiers watched with interest, making the scene much more lively.

Seeing that Luo Yan's own soldiers didn't come to watch, the general of You Xiaowei felt complacent for a while, thinking that Luo Yan was not good at bowing horses at all.

"How about, General Luo, I will let you shoot an arrow?"

Although Luo Yan is also a member of Zuo Weiwei, but yesterday he beat Liu Si's troops like that, in fact, the thousands of soldiers under Zuo Weiwei's tent were all suffocating.Hearing that You Xiaowei's people humiliated Luo Yan like this, he felt secretly refreshed.Of course, he must cheer for Luo Yan.

"Why don't you let me have a few more arrows after I shoot these ten arrows?" Luo Yan said to the opposite side with a little humility.

"That's good, hahaha, just let me see how good you are."

The scene that followed made him completely unable to close his grinning mouth.

If it was said that Luo Yan was giving Li Shimin face in the Xiande Palace, and he had a little bit of trouble, then now, in order to establish a prestige in the army, he will not hold back at all.Throwing his right arm back, he drew three arrows from the quiver.When the horse galloped past the center of the second archery target, he cast his right hand, and three arrows flew out from the string at the same time.

After that, the same action will be used to shoot the next six arrows, and the last one will be shot alone.

Luo Yan's actions are indeed quite arrogant, but it doesn't make people feel that he is pretending to be aggressive.Because everyone was watching, all ten arrows hit the bull's-eye.Although the angles of inclination of each arrow are different, the soldiers who went to check were surprised to find that the arrows were all in the middle of the red heart.

He swallowed, stammered and said to the surroundings: "It hits the red heart." After finishing speaking, he didn't check carefully, but pulled the arrow out of the target with great effort.

From the moment of laughing out loud to the silence now, General You Xiaowei didn't close his mouth for almost a moment.

The parched mouth did not spit, allowing him to swallow like a soldier to express his inner shock. At this moment, his dark face seemed to have been boiled. Although it was not white and tender, it was already flushed.

What a reward for the present world, he was so arrogant just now, and ended up being slapped in the face like this.Is this competition going to continue?No, definitely not.Of the four on my side, the most powerful captain can only hit five hearts at most, which is already the most powerful of You Xiaowei.Now the more powerful one is in front of him, if it continues, isn't it deliberately making a fool of yourself?
In a dilemma, the general thought for a moment and said, "I'm willing to bow down to your bow and horse. But since you're here, even if I'm not as good as you, you can't just go back in despair." After finishing speaking, he shouted to the three people behind him. "After we go back, I will take any punishment. If we don't shoot ten arrows today, we don't have to go back to the camp."

Shaking the reins, he rode his horse out and shot the arrows at the target. Afterwards, without looking at the results on the target, he bowed his hands to Luo Yan, and walked out of the camp first.

The defeat of You Xiaowei caused an uproar among the twelve guards.In addition to Zuo Weiwei, there are already two guards who have lost their halberds in Luo Yan's hands. Could it be that such a brat who has never been a soldier should continue to be so arrogant?
On the third day, Luo Yan welcomed an old acquaintance.

Early in the morning, Luo Yan, who had just finished ordering and was about to start training after the soldiers had breakfast, was called back to the tent by Xue Wanche.

"Don't let people live a good life? Grandma, another shameless person came to trouble you today. Don't say much, beat me hard, and win the 1000 people who will serve you for two days Meat, if you lose, get out of the Zuoweiwei camp." Luo Yan just entered the big tent, before he had time to greet Xue Wanche, he heard him say this.

"General, who is looking for trouble today? Don't say anything else, let's fight for the flesh of these two days. We must win."

"Your old acquaintance, the shameless general Cheng Zhijie, the leader of the left army, just sent a letter, inviting you to a raid on Xiaohuangshan, fifty miles outside the city."

"If he wants to fight, let's fight, why be so angry."

"You know what, he said that your subordinates are all elites selected by His Majesty, so in order not to suffer, he will bring 3000 people there. Also, all the generals under his left leader will go to battle." Xue Wanche said cursingly: " He also said that he had already invited other generals of the guards to watch the ceremony. This old man just wanted to save face from Zuo Weiwei, so he had the guts to come and fight me for two rounds."

Co-authoring Cheng Zhijie really brought shamelessness to the extreme, not only making Luo Yan's troops weak, but also the generals didn't give Luo Yan a chance to take advantage.

"The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. This time, General Cheng did a bit unethical, but anything can happen on the battlefield, including me alone fighting thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy troops. Now that I have this opportunity to let me It's a good thing to get used to it in advance. This matter will definitely live up to the general's expectations. However, Luo Yan wants to ask the general for a few things before again."

"Come on, as long as you make that shameless old man Cheng Zhijie feel uncomfortable, I will agree to any request."

"The archers under my command should each have five pots of arrows, and each should be equipped with two war horses. The pikemen should each have a hook and sickle, and the sword and shield hands should each have an extra dagger."

Xue Wanche knew what Luo Yan wanted these things for as soon as he heard it, and asked in surprise: "There are only 1000 people, are you sure you want to play like this?"

"There are too many of them, and the terrain of Xiaohuang Mountain is not too steep. This method is just right. If he chooses another place, I really don't know what to do."

"Okay, I agree, you go down and prepare first. This afternoon, Xiaohuangshan, they defend, you attack, you must win."

After leaving the big tent, Luo Yan quickly returned to his one-acre three-point land and called the three captains.

"After a few days of rest, I want you to exercise your muscles and bones. This afternoon, I will face the left leader with [-] soldiers. If I win, I will eat meat for two days. If I lose, I will sleep outside the city before the army starts. What to do, you guys think about it." Is it gone?"

"What else can I do, beat his mother. I don't believe that a lot of people can be powerful."

"That's right, it would be embarrassing to His Majesty if you lose."

"I have to win in order to eat meat for two days."

Hearing the arrogant responses from the three school captains, Luo Yan smiled: "The location of the battle is Xiaohuangshan outside the city. You must have heard of this place. It is the place where the Twelve Guards must go to perform martial arts in late autumn every year. If you don't know Xiaohuangshan, then I will explain its situation now. Xiaohuangshan is more than 220 meters high and stretches for five miles. Although it is called a mountain, it is actually similar to a slope. The mountain is covered with weeds and there are few trees..."

The three captains were surprised to find that Luo Yan had told them in detail all the information that could be used in the military.

After speaking, Luo Yan began to arrange the military strategy.

In the afternoon, Chase Mountain.

It is adjacent to Xiaohuang Mountain, and the height of the mountain reaches more than 400 meters, and the slope is steep. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see everything on Xiaohuang Mountain.In the past, the generals of the Twelve Guards were here to watch the contest between each other. Now that they have received the invitation from Cheng Zhijie, they will naturally not be absent.

Not only them, today's competition even attracted Li Shimin.Although the war of one thousand against three thousand was a competition rather than an actual battle, Li Shimin regarded Luo Yan's thousand soldiers as his heart and soul, so how could he not care.

When Li Shimin came up, the competition had just begun.

Cheng Zhijie didn't feel arrogant just because he had the superiority in numbers. On the contrary, he had the superiority in strength and let the army hold together.He also knew from the matter of Zuo Weiwei that in a match with the same number of people, his side would definitely not have the advantage.That being the case, then simply don't divide the troops, just crush them. In head-to-head battles, the side with the fewest numbers will always be exhausted.

The abacus was good.Moreover, Cheng Zhijie deliberately chose himself as the defender, and his advantage was even greater. At that time, Luo Yan's soldiers could be consumed, and he could directly surround them with heavy troops. At that time, he would complete a role change from defense to offense.

All signs indicated that Cheng Zhijie would definitely win this time.

Looking at the group of people at the foot of Xiaohuang Mountain, Cheng Zhijie showed joy.Sure enough, everything was no different from what I thought.Wait, why is there another team of people?The number of black spots is obviously more than one thousand.

Glancing at Xue Wanche suspiciously, Cheng Zhijie said dissatisfiedly: "I said Xue Daheizi, you don't have to do this if you want to win. It's not good to just stuff people in it, don't you think it will tarnish us a bit."

"Fart your mother, open your eyes wide and see, it's one man and two horses, if you don't believe it, the scouts will come back and you ask him." Xue Wanche scolded back right now that he had done nothing wrong.

Just when the two were about to continue scolding each other, there was a sudden exclamation from the watching crowd: "What, the troops are actually divided."

This time, Cheng Zhijie was terrified, thinking that his team disobeyed orders and divided up to Da Luoyan.Abandoning Xue Wanche who was still cursing, he hurriedly ran to the observation point.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie is happy.Not his subordinates, but Luo Yan.Originally it was not a small group of people, but Luo Yan now divided them into one large group, two small groups and three groups.Two small groups of soldiers and horses circled back from the left and right sides, while a large group marched forward towards the mountain.

"He really thought it was a child's play house. It's too small to look down on people if he doesn't have an advantage in military strength." black.

"No, Zhijie, you are wrong. I guess his purpose is not to encircle you. He must know about the disparity in military strength. If my prediction is correct, he wants to use this method to consume your military strength. If possible, It even tempts your army to divide up because of this, just let him divide and wipe them out." Li Jing said to Cheng Zhijie with a smile.

"The generals under my account are not vegetarians either. If they think about it, they can still see through this little trick. I knew Luo Yan was a bit of a thief, so I told them not to move around before he came." It's pride, Cheng Zhijie said almost as if showing off.

"If your army wants to win, it should press down immediately at this time, and wipe out those people in front. It's a pity, because of the harassment in the rear and your suggestion, they seem too cautious and have missed the last step Good time to attack." Li Jing sighed softly, shook his head, and said to Li Shimin: "This method seems to be somewhat similar to the Turkic method, but it is slightly different."

Nodding his head, Li Shimin said: "The two harassing teams in the back are indeed somewhat similar to the way the Turks attack the left and right sides. However, the Turks always charge on the left and right sides, and then press forward aggressively. Looking at his arrangement, it seems It is to regard these two groups of people as the main force, and the frontal people are more like holding each other back."

"That's right. General Xue, how are the troops under Luo Yan's command?"

"Archers each have five pots of arrows and two horses. Spearmen carry hooked and sickle spears, and sword and shield soldiers are equipped with two long knives." This is not complicated, and it happens to be something that Luo Yan requested, so Xue Wanche naturally knows it.

He nodded with several other generals, and smiled at Cheng Zhijie: "Sure enough, he has figured out what you are thinking. This is to let the archers consume more than half of your main force, and then take the initiative to attack. Not only smart, but also courageous. Quite big, hahaha, General Cheng, you capsized in the gutter this time."
