Chapter 21: Spying on the Enemy Camp

Guo Rengui came to Li Xiao's big tent and asked, "Brother Li, where is the wine?"

Li Xiao said: "Don't you already know, there is no alcohol in the army, I asked you to come and ask you to help, you come and see." ”

Saying that, Li Xiao took out a military map and showed it to Guo Rengui, Guo Rengui glanced at it and saw that the location of the Sanling Army Dazhai was drawn on the map, but there was no content inside.

Guo Rengui said: "You don't want me to accompany you to visit Dazhai, right?"

Li Xiao arched his hand and said: "Brother Rengui, you guessed right, you see how good and bright the moonlight is today, if you don't go to the village, won't you waste this moonlight." ”

Guo Rengui said: "It's okay to go, but when you come back, you must invite me to drink, and the birds have faded out of my mouth in the past few days." ”

Li Xiao arched his hand again and said: "Surely, let's go, take out your general creation mandarin, you fly, I'll paint." ”

Guo Rengui took out a jingchuang kite in the treasure bag, put it in the palm of his hand, and made a trick with the other hand, threw the jingchuang kite into the yard, and in an instant, it became a big bird, Guo Rengui and Li Xiao rode up, only to see Guo Rengui wave his hand, and the jingchuang kite began to fly, flying straight towards the Sanling camp.

Li Xiao looked down from the top, only to see the Sanling camp, a hundred miles long, more than 80 miles wide, composed of five camps, divided into five directions of east, west, south, north and middle, between the various camps are also called the five elements, the east Jiayimu, forty miles, the west Gengxinjin, forty miles, the south Bingdinghuo, thirty miles, the north non Guishui, thirty miles, the central Wujitu, twenty miles. The Great Tent of the Chinese Army is located in the middle of the central Wuji Territory.

Li Xiao asked Guo Rengui, "Do you understand the five elements?"

Guo Rengui said: "Why do you ask this?"

Li Xiao motioned for Guo Rengui to look down, Guo Rengui glanced at it, took a breath of cold air and said: "We can't fight with our troops, this time the command of the Three Spirit Army is called blood sacrifice, right, this old boy, it's very powerful, set up the Five Elements Battalion, thanks to the two of us to visit the enemy camp, otherwise all the small troops will have to be folded here, unless there are more than ten times their strength, don't even think about it." I said that this old boy would not march into the army, and would wait for General Nanjuan. ”

Li Xiao doesn't understand the five elements, nor does he understand the art of war, this time he led the troops by personal cultivation and courage, he listened to Guo Rengui and asked: "What do you mean by this, we can't fight anything, why wait for General Nanjuan?"

Guo Rengui explained: " This is the five elements of the formation, with the strength of the southern general Juan, 400,000 poured out of the nest, and may not break this formation, such as the division of troops and fighting, each direction of 100,000, the central Wuji soil will increase the troops to all directions of the battalion, the strength of the troops, etc., I attack the enemy to defend, it is impossible to have a chance of winning, the same reason, concentrate forces to fight a direction, the remaining three directions of the troops in a stick of incense within a time can arrive to support, even if you can break through a direction, the enemy can quickly retreat to the central Wuji land, in the Dazhai as a defense, I attack the enemy to defend, I retreat the enemy advances. Don't you know the art of war?"

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I have never read the book of war, how can I come to the art of war." ”

Guo Rengui said: "Then how can you bring the soldiers, and you can still defeat Dongning and Shu County." ”

Li Xiao said: "Relying on martial arts, aren't the five elements mutually restrictive? Why do you want to put the five elements array." ”

Guo Rengui said: "The five elements are born together, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Then it's impossible to fight?

Guo Rengui thought for a moment and said: "Unless there are people outside in the central Wujitu and someone outside is fighting in other directions, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the command of the central Wujitu is cut off, there is no other way." ”

Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, since they're all here, let's fly down, and I'll take a look at the military deployment inside them." ”

Guo Rengui shook his head and said, "You don't need to fly down, give you this, use this to see." As he spoke, he handed Li Xiao a bamboo tube.

Li Xiao held it in his hand, it was an ordinary bamboo tube, put it on his eyes, and saw the Sanling camp clearly, feeling like clairvoyance, Li Xiao praised: "What is this, so powerful, Brother Rengui, you are too talented, what is this thing called?"

Guo Rengui smiled and said: "This is all small research, I call this a myopia tube, it can not only see things from afar, the most important thing is to see things on the other side of the wall, hehe." ”

Li Xiao heard Guo Rengui laugh lewdly and asked, "What is on the other side of the wall?" you won't use it to watch women take a bath, right?" ”

"Hahaha, Li Xiao, who knows me, otherwise I would have invented it for no use. After speaking, Guo Rengui burst into laughter.

Li Xiao recorded the five camps, and said to Guo Rengui: "Dongfang belongs to wood, right, according to the number of tents, there are about 50,000 spirit troops in the Dongfang camp, the defense is mainly based on antlers and wooden walls, the walls are full of stones, every fifteen zhang an arrow tower, there are about twenty archers in the arrow tower, there are trenches under the wooden fence, the trenches are sharpened wooden pillars, there are trebuchets in the wall of twenty zhang, there are urn cities within one hundred zhang, the city is full of archers, there is no cavalry in the east camp, the defense is relatively weak, there are 30,000 spirit troops in the south camp, antlers, wooden walls, Trenches, arrow towers, trebuchets, urn cities have, one hundred and fifty zhang outside the camp, can not carry out a large-scale attack, the North Battalion has about 150,000 defenders, the defense configuration is similar to the southeast battalion, but heavy attack equipment, there are giants, there are giant beasts, the west camp is similar to the North Battalion, this arrangement of defense is the main force of Chen Youguan, the Chinese army camp except for the wooden wall, the rest of the defense is nothing, less than 20,000 personnel, if we 30,000 horses and horses all enter the Chinese army, we will be able to wipe out the spirit army. ”

After listening to this, Guo Rengui said: "What you said is simple, how to get in, in addition to flying in, just the one we are sitting on now, there are only eight in total, gritting your teeth and flying in more than 20 people, do you think 20 against 20,000 have a chance of winning?" Even if they are all masters, it is estimated that you can't let the Emperor Han Yuan come back to life, I think what your senior brother and Runfeng said is right, if you don't fight, don't fight first, wait for work, and when this gang of mongrels runs out of grain and grass, they will naturally retire from the army, these big guys, how much do they have to eat in a day, they don't have to eat, and they can't get into Chen Yuguan, what else can they do. ”

Li Xiao sighed and said: "If they come to attack, they must consider the problem of grain and grass, Zixuanguan is solid, and they haven't resisted it for a day, in case they break through Chen Youguan, where will the people in the pass retreat, what should the northern country do, the only way now is to beat these beasts back, beat them to Xuandao Continent, and never let them come out in the future, if we are defeated, these beasts will not stay alive." ”

Guo Rengui nodded and said, "You're done reading, let's go back first." Li Xiao agreed.

"I have a way, but it will take a few days. Guo Rengui suddenly screamed, almost throwing Li Xiao down.
