Chapter 291: Clash of Tactics

?

General You Yu is a famous veteran of Qinglong. Nearly seventy years old, the majestic wind is unabated, and he can still gallop on the battlefield, which is the great enemy of Qiyang's headache for many years. There is no known as the top ten generals in Qinglong, if there is, I believe that General You Yu will be on the list.

The deputy general of the main camp is named Meng Da, one of You Yu's right-hand men, and after he explained, everyone learned that the situation was more complicated than they imagined.

It turned out that the 30,000 troops in the main camp were originally led by Meng Da, but they did not expect to be blocked by the Tie Xing'an army at Jukou Pass. The disparity in the strength of the two sides, and Qiyang didn't know what to do, which made the originally pleasant climate of Jukou Pass scorching sun, and Meng Da, who was unexpected, had to send a message to You Yu for help.

Meng Da sighed: "I originally thought that as long as I saved water, I could still fight with them! But I didn't expect that the thieves would be so powerful, and after 30 days of great drought, all wells and streams would dry up in just a few days!"

Tao'er was surprised: "Thirty days of drought?

Jiao Ranjin said: "This is not something that ordinary spells can do, to keep it extremely dry for such a long time, some special means must have been used." ”

Tianlan affirmed: "When I first approached this Gobi, I felt a different kind of formation, if my guess is right, Qiyang must be to lay down a large fire spirit array to drive away the water spirit within a radius of five hundred miles, which will make Jukou Pass a great drought." Master Meng, dare to ask how the Qiyang Army has been moving recently?"

Meng Da said: "During this period, most of them only provoked and shouted from a distance, and the two armies retreated immediately after 'fighting', and adopted a guerrilla strategy, intending to slowly exhaust the morale and water of our army, and take us down without blood. It was precisely because Lord You Yu understood Tie Xing'an's intentions that he decided to lead three thousand 'elite' soldiers to camp at a hundred miles by himself, preparing to ambush at night. ”

"Oh, three thousand 'elite' soldiers?" Tianlan secretly speculated that General You Yu had led the army for many years and must have a lot of experience. He must have relied on this arrangement. However, since Tie Xing'an dared to lead people to besiege Jukou Pass, in addition to the large number of fire warlocks who maintained the Fire Spirit Array, there must be many soldiers and horses, at least not less than 10,000.

Jiao Ranjin said: "Young Master Lan, this Xue Ning is a fire warlock, I heard that he is also slightly involved in the formation path, will the fire spirit array be his masterpiece?"

Tianlan said: "What Uncle Jiao said is right, I think so too." The Fire Spirit Array is a basic formation, and the layout is not complicated, but it requires a large number of fire elements to gather, and it cannot be replaced by spirit stones. And since Xue Ning is the commander of the Warlock Legion, the number of fire warlocks under his command must be extremely considerable, and he can arrange this formation. ”

Meng Da said: "General You Yu also thought of this, but our army simply doesn't have so many water warlocks to fight back, even if we ask for help from the rear and send a water soldier regiment, it's too late." Now the water in the camp is only enough to last for another eight days, which can be said to be a burning brow! If General You Yu also fails, then ......"

Jiao Ranjin frowned and said: "Yes, now the water source problem is a top priority, even if the troops are still sufficient in this way, under the long-term war and lack of water, the morale will be low, which will be greatly detrimental to our army......"

Tianlan didn't have the same sad face as them, and said confidently: "Uncle Jiao, Master Meng, don't worry, Qiyang can't be all-encompassing." ”

Meng Da's eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that you have a way?"

Jiao Ranjin said: "Young Master Lan, what is your best strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Tianlan seemed to glance at Tong Ying inadvertently, and said, "I still need to see General You Yu's arrangement for the specific plan, but we can help a little bit with the water source problem." Kirikage, this matter still needs to rely on your strength. ”

"Me?" Kiriying pointed at herself suspiciously, and then smiled, "No problem, hehe, you can borrow it." ”

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Tianlan explained to Meng Da: "To be honest, this friend of mine has the power to 'manipulate' plants, and she can sense the distribution of underground water veins. As long as she finds a few shallow water veins in Jukou Pass, and then sets up a small anti-sealing array to dig the ground and dig wells, she should be able to temporarily solve the water source problem. ”

Hearing his words, Kiri Ying said, "No problem, it's a piece of cake." "She is a tree 'spirit', and it is very easy to sense the water veins, and there is no need to use other plants at all.

Xiaotang said: "If it's just a small anti-sealing array, just 'hand' it over to me." Childe, you can relax for a while. ”

Tianlan was very relieved of her and said, "Okay." However, remember to choose a hidden place in the back mountain, if it is in the city, you need to cover it up. ”

Xiaotang understood what he meant, and said, "I know, don't worry." ”

Meng Da was 'excited' and said, "It's great to really get drinking water." I'll arrange for people right away, and I'll trouble two girls to lead the way. Subsequently, Xiaotang and Tongying followed Meng Da to leave to solve the water source problem.

Jiao Ranjin was relieved: "It is worthy of Young Master Lan, and he solved Master Meng's problem with a raise of his hand." In this way, Jukou Pass should soon be able to recover its combat strength, which will definitely catch Tie Xing'an off guard. ”

Tianlan pondered, "No, it's not enough. If you want to solve the water problem completely, you still have to break the fire spirit array. In addition, the army led by Tie Xing'an cannot be taken lightly. ”

Ye Yi saw that they had finally finished talking and said with a smile: "Hey, it will take time to wait for them anyway, why don't we go around!"

This proposal was in line with Tao'er's 'sexual' personality, and she immediately responded: "Great! Let's go!"

Jiao Ranjin laughed and said, "You young people, let's go, I won't mix with an old man." ”

Tianlan's face was still 'colored', and he was about to refuse, but Tao'er said: "Let's go, let's go! Ah Lan and Ah Yue are also together! This is a rare man-made Gobi, take a good look!"

In this way, the four of them climbed the tower together, stood on the beacon tower and looked into the distance, with a panoramic view of the boundless yellow sand.

"Wow! The view here is so good! My vision is really good!" Ye Yi began to shout as soon as he climbed the city tower.

Tao'er raised her hand to block the scorching sun and teased: "Haha, yes, yes, except for the sun is a little dazzling here, and the wind and sand are a little hot, everything is 'very' good~"

"Hmph, what do you mean by this!" Ye Yi crossed his arms, looking unhappy, and then noticed Tianlan looking into the distance attentively, and couldn't help but say, "Tianlan, what are you thinking?"

Tianlan sighed: "The road is long, life and death are impermanent, who knows how much blood is spilled on this scorched earth in the blink of an eye." Sunlight can give birth to life, but it can't recover lost life......"

Ye Yi scratched his head and said, "Why do you always like to sigh about some things that you don't have?" Then you should say, 'Ah, even though this is a hot sand, there is still sunshine that gives birth to countless lives!' As he spoke, he also made a prayer in a voice and color.

Tianlan lowered her eyes and said sadly, "Hmm...... You're right......"

Seeing him so depressed, Ye Yi couldn't help but have a headache, and sighed: "Tianlan, if you want me to say something good about you! Why can't you be a little optimistic! Since you woke up, I haven't seen you laugh." Even if it's pretending, you can laugh at it! Even if you don't laugh at us, you can show Xiaotang!"

Xiao Yue was not good at talking, and watched their conversation in silence. He also found that Tianlan became less inclined to laugh, no matter how others made him happy, he would not smile, as if his heart was frozen. Listening to Tao'er, in fact, Tianlan's situation has changed a lot, and when he just woke up, he didn't even eat or drink, and he didn't have the best to survive at all.

Everything takes time, and if a person's heart dies once, how can it be possible for it to return to its original state in an instant? Trying to dispel the 'gloom' haze in his heart cannot be accomplished in a moment.

Soon after, Xiaotang and Tongying successfully completed the mission and returned, they called Jiao Ranjin, and Meng Da 'exchanged' a few words, and then marched to the east where General You Yu went.

Not long after, they met Qinglong's centaurs again. It seems that it is You Yu's camp, but there are not many soldiers, only a few people are guarded.

"Master Jiao?" the soldier guarding respectfully stepped forward and saluted, which showed that he recognized Jiao Ranjin. Jiao Ranjin was originally born in the army, although he has been the chief housekeeper of the Tianlingsha family over the years, he has taken over military affairs all the year round, and often comes and goes, and the veterans know him more or less.

Jiao Ranjin said: "Brother Gao, I have been fighting for many days, and I have worked hard. ”

The soldier's spirit perked up, and he said, "No, Gao Wen and all the brothers are very happy to learn that Lord Jiao has come all the way here to help!"

Jiao Ranjin looked at the surrounding layout, and said suspiciously: "Huh, this is just a guard battalion, and General You Yu ......"

Soldier Gawain replied, "General You Yu is in the forward battalion forty miles ahead. ”

Jiao Ranjin frowned and was puzzled: "Forty miles ahead, what kind of formation is this?"

Tianlan suddenly said, "Forty miles ahead...... That is, sixty miles away from the border...... Brother Gao, could it be that the center battalion is stationed twenty miles ahead?"

Soldier Gawain replied respectfully, "Yes." Could this be Lord Lan?"

"Don't dare to be. Tianlan politely returned the salute, and then said to himself, "The three villages are twenty miles apart, and they look at each other...... I see......"

"Could it be that Young Master Lan saw any clues?" asked Jiao Ranjin humbly. Although in terms of age and experience, it should be him, a veteran, who has the advantage, but in fact, when it comes to the art of war strategy, he is really not as good as Tianlan, a ghost. Not to mention that he can't compare, even if he pulls out all those famous commanders and military divisions from the ground, they may not be as good as Tianlan's knowledge. Jiao Ranjin even thought that if it weren't for Young Master Lan's frailty since he was a child, and he didn't like intrigue, I'm afraid he would have taken down the Qiyang Empire by now!

Tianlan didn't know that Jiao Ranjin actually lifted him up like this, and said lightly: "Everything can be revealed when I see General You Yu." Let's go, move on. ”

After passing through the center battalion, at noon they had reached the forward battalion. After informing the guards of the soldiers, they easily met General You Yu himself.

You Yu is over seventy years old, full of white hair, wrinkled, but heavily armored, standing awe-inspiring, quite a general, everyone except Tianlan and Jiao Ranjin are amazed.

You Yu is very old, but the 'spirit' is vigorous and full of anger, as soon as Tianlan and the others came in, they heard him shouting in a loud voice: "The old man has said that I can take down the Tie Xing'an kid alone, are you here to look down on me You Yu?
