Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fishing
The fire burned for nearly an hour before it was gradually extinguished, and the Lion City was indeed a tragic scene, it can be said that the corpses were all over the field, and those charred corpses could not be distinguished for a long time, whether they were the wolf riders of the Jingzhou army or the magnetic sergeants.
And when Yelu Roar and Bei Yuande counted the casualties, they almost didn't vomit blood on the spot, and only more than 10,000 Cizhou sergeants caused nearly 10,000 casualties to the Khitan army in one day, how not to annoy Yelu Roar.
Although he won the Lion City, it was also an empty city, Liu Feng's first step was indeed right, the crazy output in the Lion City, coupled with the last fire, was a small loss to the Khitan army.
……
Outside the Lion City, in the big tent of the Khitan army.
Bei Yuande sat under the big tent with a calm face, today the soldiers under his command, the most serious losses, Liu Feng rushed out of the city, did not come to the Khitan army array, but shocked his Jingzhou army array, after he stabilized the army formation, Liu Feng had broken out of the formation, and left.
What made them even more angry was that the Cizhou army ran away, relied on the Lion City to beat them hard, turned around and ran.
"Abominable Liu Feng!" Yelu roared in the big tent: "Dare to play this handsome! ”
Liu Feng laid out the chariot and horse in the Lion City, looking like he swore to live and die with the Lion City, and the soldiers in Cizhou believed it, not to mention Yelu Roar, he didn't even completely besiege the Lion City, so it also gave Liu Feng a chance.
It's like two people fighting, one is self-sustaining and skilled, but he didn't expect to be a small opponent, jumped up and flashed a slap in the face, when he reacted, he ran to one place and continued to shout, how can this be endured.
Yelu, who danced like thunder, calmly persuaded: "Marshal, today our army attacked the city one after another, with heavy casualties, but now the Cizhou army has suffered very few casualties, and it is all the way south, all the cities, so if you attack like this, I am afraid it will not be good, it is better to ......."
"Shut up!" Yelu stood up and said coldly: "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will definitely take advantage of your military law!" ”
After finishing speaking, he stared at Bei Yuande, and after a while, he said slowly: "This southern expedition still depends on the general, and I hope the general will not shirk!" ”
Yelu roared to tell the truth, at this moment, he was unattainable, the Khitan royal family seized the throne after several expeditions, at this time the Khitan emperor Yelu Ruan was able to ascend to the top of the Ding, Yelu roared a lot of strength, but also suffered heavy losses, at this moment the wolf rider who followed him south was either a tired old pawn or a newly replenished Khitan. And when he went south this time, he did not have the intention of training troops, so that the Jingzhou army of Northern Yuande would be extremely important.
But it seems that in the first battle of the Lion City, it was his Khitan army that made a whetstone for the Cizhou army, in addition to the number of casualties, he only had a few corpses of the Cizhou army, how could he not repay this "slap" revenge!
Yelu waved his arms viciously, and roared sharply: "General Bei will give you another 10,000 wolf horses tomorrow, and he will definitely hold Liu Feng for me to relieve the evil anger in my heart." ”
……
Fifty miles south of the Lion City, on a gentle slope, Liu Feng led two thousand Cizhou cavalry to be stationed here.
Thousands of sergeants had also rested and fallen asleep, but Liu Feng and Deng Jieyu and others were in a slightly dim tent.
When Ze came in from outside the tent, they all looked away, and Liu Feng opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something else?" ”
"All the sentinels have been dispatched, and the Khitan army has not yet set off!" Uze said in a deep voice
Hearing Wu Ze say this, the people in the tent were obviously relieved, they were all worried about their hearts, as if they were playing an exciting game with Liu Feng, originally after playing from the Lion City, they could go straight to Lake City, but Liu Feng didn't, after fifty miles south, the garrison no longer left, so that Zeng Yu took a group of foot soldiers south to the ambush in Lake City, but he took his war horses to wait for the Khitan army here.
When people heard the news, they looked relieved, Liu Feng knocked on the desk, cleared his throat, and said in a straight voice: "Have you ever caught a big fish?" Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Liu Feng then said slowly: "To catch a big fish, you have to be bold and careful, you have to go down with the fish, one by one, one loose, one tight, when its physical strength is exhausted, you can catch it in one fell swoop." ”
Deng Jieyu bowed his head and said: "What the general said is reasonable, the Khitan army is this big fish, we are both bait and anglers, we want to let them bite our bait, but we can't let them swallow it in one bite, but we also have to exhaust their physical strength and lead them to the shore!" ”
"That's exactly what I mean, but I'm afraid we won't be able to exhaust their stamina, but we can still lead them to the shore!" Liu Feng said loudly,
……
North of the lake, tidal flat dense forest.
Zeng Yu led the Cizhou infantry to march south, fortunately, the road from Lion City to Hucheng was flat, and there was a cart for the sergeants to share, the weight of the armor and weapons, the Cizhou sergeant, although the battle lasted for a day, but such a rapid march also broke the record of other armies today, seven hours, the march of 200 miles, which Zeng Yu did not expect, and Yelu roared unexpectedly.
The exhausted Cizhou foot soldiers arrived at the dense forest of the tidal flats of Hucheng, and almost fell to the ground, this marching speed, but also Guo Wei Chai Rong and others were not light, such a marching speed, is not possible to reach the Hedong Army, for this march, Liu Feng made a lot of preparations, the carriage salt water supply dry food plus the Cizhou sergeant often trains and runs on weekdays, and Liu Feng was not disappointed, and he did not disappoint Liu Feng, and indeed completed the march within the time he scheduled.
In front of the dense forest, Guo Wei and the generals stood silently, no doubt, they thought that they had found the well-trained general under Liu Feng, although he was also extremely tired, he was still comforting the injured sergeant, and he was also greeting the other sergeants, and he was indeed "benevolent".
Wei and other generals came over, Zeng Yu turned around and greeted him, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Guo Wei and the others: "The last general will meet General Guo, the generals!" ”
Guo Wei waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you have contributed a lot to this battle!" Then he paused, but said bluntly: "You are willing to come to my Hedong Army, and you will wait for a certain sweep!" ”
Zeng Yu froze for a moment when he heard this, shook his hand, and said indifferently: "Thank you General Guo for your love, it will be difficult to obey your fate!" ”
Answering like this also surprised Guo Wei, he knew in his heart that Zeng Yu would not come to the Hedong Army, but he was happy to see Cai, and he couldn't help but woo him, but he didn't expect Zeng Yu to refuse so directly, which made him a little embarrassed for a while.
Guo Yunmin sneered disdainfully: "So ignorant of lifting, no wonder you can only succumb to that little child!" ”
"Huh?!" Zeng Yu's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, he held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, Your Excellency had better retract what you ......just said" After finishing speaking, he stared at Guo Yunmin viciously, and he had the intention of facing the knife if he didn't agree with him.
Guo Yunmin's heart was awe-inspiring, but he was annoyed and angry, and he was about to draw his sword in response, but he saw Guo Weilang laughing and said: "It's a certain account person who lost his words, and a certain person apologized to General Zeng, come!" Don't look like you're on the swords, and come to my tent to talk to me about the way of training. He took Zeng Yu's arm and walked towards the big tent, leaving a group of generals to look at each other.
Zeng Yu saw that Guo Wei was as bright and upright as the legend, so he didn't care, so he went to the account with Guo Wei and had a good conversation about training and marching.
The two talked almost all night, Guo Wei learned from Zeng Yu that Liu Feng's set of military training methods, and Zeng Yu also learned a lot of experience in using soldiers from Guo Wei. However, what surprised Guo Wei was that the sergeants in Cizhou were not trained by the honor, but they had never been, Liu Feng's milky child, which made Guo Wei more and more interested in Liu Feng.
It's the day, early in the morning.
Guo Zeng and the others were still immersed in the tent that they had just absorbed the art of war, and a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded,
"Report!"
A fast horse came galloping, galloped to the tent, and leaped down,
"General, General Liu of Cizhou is now one hundred and fifty miles north of Hucheng, entangled with the wolf horse!"
Zeng Yu's expression sank, and he said in his heart: "Success or failure is here!" ”
Guo Wei waved his hand and said, "Explore again!" ”
