When Lin Nan received Cai Yan's reply, he opened it and saw that it was written: The mountains are edgeless, the rivers are exhausted, the thunder and earthquakes in winter, the rain and snow in summer, the heaven and the earth are together, and I dare not be with Junjue. ”

Seeing this, Lin Nan was moved.

Half a month later, Jinyang's urban construction work finally came to an end.

And in this half month, Lin Nan also brought a large amount of gold and silver from the modern world, the Luding World and the Wulin World, and told his mother that they were going to hike for a while, so that they should not worry.

Now, although the renovated Jinyang City is not impregnable, it is at least like a county city, and after a month of training, the generals and soldiers of each battalion can finally understand the method of battle formation.

Moreover, the Zhaoxian Hall has also recruited several talents during this time, among which the most famous is Liu Ye, in addition, there are several people such as Yu Fu and Lu Ji, who are also famous figures in the Three Kingdoms.

After that, taking advantage of the slack farming, Lin Nan hurriedly organized the people of Jinyang City, organized detachments, taught the method of defending the city, and practiced with the soldiers of each battalion to clarify the affairs of the army.

At this moment, news suddenly came from the scouts sent by Lin Nan that the Huns had suddenly sent troops! Therefore, Lin Nan hurriedly summoned a meeting of the ministers of Jinyang to discuss ways to resist the Xiongnu.

After everyone arrived, Lin Nan said straight to the point: "The Huns are coming, what good strategies do you have to defend against the enemy?"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he said in frustration: "According to the information of the border pass, the Huns who committed the border this time are under the command of King Zuoxian, there are about 50,000 people, and all of them are cavalry. Therefore, I believe that we do not have the strength to fight with the Huns in the field for the time being, and we can only defend the city. However, if we are passively beaten, it is not a long-term solution, so I believe that it will not be long before the lord should lead a soldier outside the city to echo the soldiers in the city. The Huns will retreat themselves. ”

After listening to the frustrated words, Lin Nan nodded and said, "I also have this intention, but I don't want to retreat from the enemy." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this. Everyone looked at Lin Nan suspiciously, not knowing what Lin Nan wanted to do.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Nan said with a smile: "I don't want to retreat from the enemy, because I want to destroy the enemy and let them go back." They will come again in the future, so it is better to annihilate them all now to prevent future troubles. ”

Listening to Lin Nan's words, everyone fell into deep thought again, because they all thought that Lin Nan's idea of wanting to annihilate the enemy was too naïve.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Xun Yu suddenly said: "It is not difficult for the lord to annihilate the enemy. ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Xun Yu, wanting to see how he explained. And Jia Xu and Fu Zhu just twisted their beards and smiled, as if they had realized.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xun Yu said: "Jinyang is ruined, the people's livelihood is withered, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers defending the city, and the drill is only more than a month, so King Zuoxian will definitely despise the lord." As long as the lord uses the strategy of arrogance, King Zuo Xian can be captured in one battle. ”

After listening to Xun Yu's words, Lin Nan laughed and said, "Wen Ruo's words are very much in line with my heart. King Zuo Xian is just a reckless man, what is there to fear?"

After speaking, Lin Nan said again: "I already know the specific method of destroying the enemy, I don't know if the two military advisors have ever known?"

Jia Xu and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you to know." ”

Lin Nan hummed and said, "That's very good." Tomorrow, the two military divisions, Ziyang, Zhongxiang, as well as Zilong, Ziyi, Junyi, Yide, Wenyuan, Fangzheng, and Hansheng's seven battalions of soldiers and horses will be stationed outside the city with me, and the rest will help Wen Ruo defend the city. ”

Hearing Lin Nan's arrangement, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, the government of Jinyang, the army, politics, law, and supervision divide and rule, the army does not interfere in politics, and the government does not care about the army. ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Now is an extraordinary period, so I ordered Wen Ruo to temporarily take the post of Taishou to guard the city, and the people of the Military Affairs Yuan will naturally be dispatched by Wen Ruo, as for the two military divisions, they are all going to fight with me, and I can't have no staff around me, so I can only hand over the city defense of Jinyang to Wen Ruo, and I hope Wen Ruo will not live up to my trust." ”

Hearing Lin Nan say this, Xun Yu said helplessly: "In this way, I'm afraid it will disturb the politics of Jinyang." ”

Lin Nandao: "Wen Ruo rest assured, he only did this in extraordinary times, and when the battle is over, he can return to normal." ”

Seeing that Xun Yu had nothing to say, Lin Nan said: "Do you have any objections? If there are no objections, then the meeting will be dismissed, and everyone will go back to prepare to meet the Huns." ”

As soon as Lin Nan's words were finished, Dian Wei suddenly said: "Lord, I am the lord's personal general, how can I stay in the city to defend the city?"

Lin Nandao: "You stay to protect Wen Ruo, if he has a slight mistake, I will only ask you." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Dian Wei reluctantly retreated.

Who expected Xun Yu to say suddenly at this time: "The lord's words are wrong, the lord is camped outside the city, King Zuoxian must attack the lord's camp first, and the Huns are all cavalry, not good at attacking the city, and the people in the city are also familiar with the law of defending the city, so this battle does not have much damage to Jinyang City, but the lord's camp is the most important thing." Therefore, Yu thought that the lord should take Bo Jian and Zhong Kang away, and only I and more than a thousand soldiers should be left in the city. ”

Seeing that Xun Yu also said so, Lin Nan had no choice but to say: "Okay, then follow Wenruo's words." ”

After the meeting, Lin Nan hurried back to the back hall, and while packing up his things, he said goodbye to Zhao Wei and a few other little girls.

The next day, when preparations were ready, Lin Nan led the generals to camp outside the city.

After the camp was completed, Lin Nan was promoted to the general.

"Zhang He, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Guan Hai listen to orders!"

The five of them came out of the class and responded: "The last will be!"

"There is a valley thirty miles east of Jinyang City, called the Valley of Broken Heads, the five of you will go to the hidden place on the valley today to set up camp, and bring most of the grain and grass in the camp, and only stay in the camp for two days.

Huang Zhongzhi's army set up two battalions, ambushed on the left and right of the valley, and after seeing the Huns entering the valley, they were not allowed to act rashly, until they heard the shouts of killing at the mouth of the valley and the bottom of the valley, and then shot them with fire crossbows, hurting as many people as possible and wounding horses as little as possible, do you understand?"

Huang Zhong said: "The last general understands!"

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Those horses, but they are a great gift from the Huns, if they are all injured, it will be a pity." ”

Then, Lin Nan said: "Dian Wei led five hundred guards and a battalion of Zhang Hexing, sheltered at the mouth of the valley, and the Huns could not be intercepted when they saw them." After all the Huns entered the valley, they sealed the mouth of the valley and ran away with a Huns, which is not your work. ”

Lin Nan finished speaking. Zhang He and Dian Wei were also ordered to retreat.

Lin Nan said again: "Guan Hai led five hundred guards to Zhang Feicheng into a battalion, stayed at the bottom of the valley, and after seeing us retreat into the valley, just answer us." ”

After the two of them bowed down to receive the order, they retreated. Lin Nan said to Fu Zhu and Liu Ye: "The matter in the valley, please ask Zizheng and Ziyang." ”

Immediately, Lin Nan said to Zhang He and the other five people: "The five of you must obey the arrangements of the military advisor, and those who disobey the military orders will be punished by military law." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, the seven people took the order and said, "Please rest assured, lord." ”

So, Lin Nan said: "A few people must prepare more firewood, grass, sulfur and other fire-starting things, and spread them in the valley, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Lin Nan finished speaking. Dian Wei hurriedly said: "Lord, Ziwei and I are not by the lord's side, so who will protect the lord?"

As soon as he heard Dian Wei say this, Lin Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Bojian, the people in this world who can hurt me haven't been born yet." ”

The distribution has been decided, so Lin Nan asked everyone to prepare separately.

After the preparations were made, the Huns really arrived before sunset, and seeing that Lin Nan had already prepared, the Huns did not dare to make a mistake, and even camped under the city. Wait for the opportunity to move.

It turned out that the Huns who committed the border this time were indeed the headquarters of King Zuoxian, with about 50,000 cavalry.

And if you follow King Zuoxian's idea, when you come, you have to set foot in the camp and attack the city. How can you set up camp first?

But King Zuoxian's military advisor said: "Now Jinyang City has already been prepared, and the camp outside the city has a whole law, which shows that the person who commands the army knows the military affairs well." Therefore, we should not act rashly for the time being. You should set up camp first, and tomorrow you can break it in a battle. ”

In this way, King Zuo Xian also had no choice but to learn to set up camp again.

And Lin Nan didn't feel very surprised when he saw that King Zuo Xian did not set foot on the camp to attack the city, but set up camp first, so Lin Nan hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss together.

But everyone studied it for a long time, and they didn't know why.

Yu said: "According to the conventional tactics of the Huns, the camp should be attacked first, and if the camp is not broken, the city will be attacked." Or, seeing that we were prepared, they should have plundered elsewhere, and they would not have come back to attack the city until we had withdrawn to the city. But now they are neither fighting nor leaving, but it is really incomprehensible. ”

And after listening to Yu Xuan's words, everyone also bowed their heads and pondered, silently.

Jia Xu thought about it and said: "Perhaps, they know that they are not good at attacking fortifications, and they don't want to give up Jinyang and plunder elsewhere, so they will camp for the time being, and wait for the success of tomorrow's battle." ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lin Nan nodded and said: "Wenhe's words are reasonable, but no matter what, we are going to fight with them tomorrow, and this battle, knowing that we are invincible, we still have to fight, alas, ......"

Jia Xu said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, the lord can do it pretend." ”

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "I just hope to lose as little as possible some of Jinyang's disciples." ”

This day finally passed peacefully.

The next day, King Zuo Xian really sent someone to make a battle table, and his rhetoric was very arrogant, but Lin Nan's reply was only one sentence, that is: "Those who commit Lin Ziyang will be punished even if they are strong." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan's tone was so strong, King Zuo Xian couldn't help but shout in anger, so he immediately ordered his troops and horses and went out of the camp to line up, and at the same time, Lin Nan also led the generals out of the camp and lined up.

Seeing that Zuo Xianwang's troops were all cavalry, Lin Nan lined up from afar to be prepared.

Lin Nan's array is a three-talent and five phalanx, Lin Nan and Xu Chu's special forces are in the center and forward, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici's cavalry are the left and right wings, and they will respond later, while Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are responsible for the reception of the palace. In this way, the whole formation is like a regular pentagon.

The formation of the Huns is also quite regular, in the center is King Zuo Xian and the military division, behind King Zuo Xian are several generals, 50,000 cavalry lined up into five large phalanxes, two formations for the front, three for the rear.

I have to admit that the Hun cavalry is really an elite division, with strong men and horses, bright armor, sharp blades, and strict queues, and in the sassy autumn wind, they show another kind of majesty and courage.

After the formation was completed, Lin Nan said to Jia Xu beside him: "When I really saw the Huns today, Nan knew that he had underestimated the enemy, and if we only relied on field battles, our soldiers would never be the opponents of the Huns." ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The lord can have this opinion, Xu is very pleased, we can't be the enemy, we can outwit it." ”

Lin Nan said: "I hope today's plan can work." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan had finished arrasing, the military advisor said to King Zuo Xian: "From the opposite formation, it can be seen that the opponent is a person who knows the art of war, but since he knows the art of war, why should he use 5,000 new soldiers against 50,000 iron cavalry? ”

But King Zuo Xian waved his hand and said, "The military advisor is too worried, let's see me break Jinyang City in a while." With that, King Zuo Xian commanded his soldiers and horses to kill Lin Nan. (To be continued.) )
