It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 875

Li Xingzai was obviously stunned, and there was a question entangled in his mind.

"Inconvenient?" Cheng Dalei asked.

"How many people do you have now?" Li Xingzai asked without answering.

"Seven or eight hundred." After speaking, Cheng Dalei added: "But they are all elite soldiers and strong generals, with the ability of one enemy to a hundred."

"You didn't know I would come, so..." Li Xingzai asked slowly, "If I don't show up, you will use seven or eight hundred people to execute the plan."

"Is it a little less?" Cheng Dalei asked tentatively.

Li Xingzai slapped his forehead, and his heart was speechless.

"How, to borrow or not to borrow?" Cheng Dalei.

"The soldiers can be lent to you, but there are still many inconsistencies in your plan. I need to know all the details." Li Xingzai said, "For example, how to set up an ambush in the canyon, can you transport so much gunpowder?"

"Hey, let's not say that you are an amazing person, you can see the problem at a glance." Cheng Dalei said: "Do you remember the Battle of Bingzhou?"

"Of course I remember, my leg was lost at that time."

"When I retreated from Bingzhou, I hid a batch of gunpowder here, and now is the time to use it."

"You're even in this section at that time?"

"It may not be completely accurate, are you prepared for it?"

Li Xingzai was completely speechless. If he did not believe Cheng Dalei's words, how would he explain this huge batch of gunpowder.

Cheng Dalei raised his head and found that Li Xingzai was staring at him intently, but Cheng Dalei's whole body was hairy.

"What's wrong?"

"Cheng Dalei, you are actually quite ugly." Li Xingzai said seriously.

"Hey." Cheng Dalei shouted: "We are familiar with each other, I will still beat you if you talk nonsense like this."

"Because you're ugly, people often forget how scary you are."

Cheng Dalei didn't notice, Li Xingzai finally sighed softly.

Cheng Dalei's appearance is indeed not handsome, with a tiger back and a rough face, and it is not unheard of for a child to cry in terror. But the appearance of a man is not very important. The dignified master of Liangzhou, his every move affects countless lives and deaths, and dominates the trend of the empire. Cheng Dalei has his own majesty.

Li Xingzai calmed down and said, "Let's ignore the details of this battle. If everything goes according to your plan, this battle can be won. But it still won't hurt the roots of the Rong clan. Then what? What are your plans?"

"If we can win this battle, one can destroy the prestige of the Rong clan, and the other can boost the morale of the Chang'an defenders. After this battle is over, Qin Man will arrive with a large army, and then we can do more things. "

Li Xingzai's eyes lit up: "Qin Man is coming, how many soldiers and horses did he bring?"

"Ten thousand." Cheng Dalei raised a finger.

Li Xingzai was speechless for a while: "Cheng Dalei, do you really cherish soldiers like gold?"

"It's okay, human life is precious."

"You are so frugal, do you know that Chang'an City may not be able to last?"

Cheng Dalei nodded and said, "Li Xingzai, the Rong clan sent a large army to the south, and the plan is not small. Even if you and I have the means of stealing the sky and changing the sun and exerting eighteen skills, the Rong clan should not be underestimated. If you want to completely defeat the Rong clan, you must be In a bloody battle, the wealth that you and I have worked so hard to save for many years is completely invested, and there is only one chance of winning."

"It's difficult." Li Xingzai nodded.

"You have to be prepared to live a hard life." Cheng Dalei said, "Now it's just a matter of taking one step at a time."

Li Xingzai sighed and said, "Let's talk, how are you going to fight this battle?"

The two settled down and carefully determined the details of the battle. Based on current intelligence, the plan is constantly being pushed back and forth.

Cheng Dalei's face is careless and careful, if he hadn't had the ability to calculate, he might not have gotten to where he is today.

...

The Rong tribe in Lizipo belonged to the Xiong tribe in the eight tribes of the Rong tribe. There are more than 20,000 people here, some of them are the headquarters of the Rong tribe, and some are composed of civilians and soldiers.

The main reason why the Rong people stationed troops here is to guard against the troops coming from the west to support Chang'an. The main troops from the west were the Liangzhou soldiers under Cheng Dalei.

Therefore, when the Rong clan was staring at the difficult bone of Chang'an City, they also watched and listened to all directions, watching every move of the empire.

The leader of Li Zipo's army was called Yan Huahu. Li Zipo's soldiers were in charge of defense rather than offense, and this place was already on the periphery of the battlefield. And everyone in the world knows that the Rong people are good at attacking and not good at defending.

Conquering the city and conquering the land, the natural battle is invincible, and the property can be plundered. And the side responsible for the defense may be useless throughout the war.

If you can't go to the battlefield, you won't have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. In this way, it can also explain the status of Yan Huahu in the Rong tribe.

Yan Huahu's own family knew about his family affairs, and he was quite self-abandoning. After Li Zipo set up camp, he had nothing to do all day, nothing more than abusing prisoners, ordering his men to rob women everywhere, and send them to the big camp for Yan Huahu to entertain.

"Report, report..."

A scout walked quickly into the tent, and Yan Huahu was showing two women promiscuous in the tent. Yan Huahu has a ferocious appearance, a fat body, a red fruit body, and a slap on the chest to protect the chest hair. Under its torture, the two imperial women were already dying, fearing that they would die more or less.

"What's up?"

Being blocked from good things, Yan Huahu was a little irritable, and roared with a sullen face.

"Report, report... Five miles northwest, there is an imperial army approaching."

"Imperial Army? Whose troops belong to which army?"

"I can't tell the difference for now, there should be 2,000 people."

Yan Huahu frowned, and suddenly burst out laughing: "There are really people who are not afraid of death come to the door, bring my weapons, and let me meet them for a while."

Yan Huahu was dressed neatly and ordered 3,000 men and horses. When he was ready, the enemy army had attacked the front of the camp.

Since the Rong people entered the customs, it can be said that they have been victorious in consecutive battles, with few defeats. Even if there is a loss, it is nothing but a winner and a loser.

In this way, the morale of the Rong tribe has grown, and it has also boosted their arrogance. In the face of this incoming enemy, Yan Huahu did not choose to defend, but took the initiative to attack.

Offense is always the best defense.

Yan Huahu believed in this very much, and rushed out with three thousand tigers and wolves. Two thousand against three thousand, a man riding a black bull rushed out from the enemy's camp with a big axe in his hand.

The best result was that Yan Huahu was defeated. When more troops in the camp rushed out, the enemy army chose to retreat and set up camp ten miles away.

After that, this strange group of people blocked Yan Huahu's outward passage, and started a harassment battle nearby. They came to attack them every three days. When they wanted to fight them, they immediately retreated.

Yan Huahu's good days have been completely destroyed, and it is very disturbing. In the end, he still had to send someone to spread the news and send it to the Rong family base camp.
