In fact, Tang Xiao was joking with Wu Liuer.

In addition to the tension before the war, he would occasionally make a few bad jokes to ease his mood.

The task he assigned to Wu Liu'er was actually very simple, to use Wu Liu'er's extra-sensory ability to determine the location of the enemy's army, and she personally led a team of men and horses to wander far away from the battlefield.

And the trap that Mu Huanyang led people to arrange in advance was for her.

Once she leads people to encircle and intercept the enemy army into the trap area, she will also use the messenger stone sparrow to send a message to Mu Huanyang for the next step.

After Tang Xiao led the people to arrive at the predetermined location, he immediately commanded the troops to arrange the troops.

This time, he didn't engage in an ambush, and directly waited for it.

......

At this time, the army of the state capital was still on the march.

A handsome woman rode at the front of the army on a blue-maned white horse, which had a pair of fangs in its mouth that showed out of her lips.

This is a spirit beast named the Blue-Maned Wolf Horse, which has always been known for its speed.

And this woman is Wei Yuxiao.

The team of more than 5,000 people was mighty, stepping on the ground and making bursts of noise, shaking the gravel on the ground and rolling continuously.

At this time, several scouts rode neatly to Wei Yuxiao and reported the situation: "Report to the commander, the enemy array has been found five miles ahead. ”

Wei Yuxiao's good-looking eyebrows were slightly furrowed in a group, and she couldn't figure out where the enemy army had the courage to come and meet them.

Just a moment ago, she also received a letter from the spies in Changping County, saying that the group of bandits had fled from Changping County and were running in the direction of Caoji Mountain, but now they had appeared in front of them again.

But she didn't think it was out of the ordinary.

I just think that the enemy generals are stupid and arrogant.

According to the current situation, the enemy army estimated that they had something to rely on to dare to fight them in the field, but in the face of crushing forces, even if there was a Jindan monk hidden in the enemy's army, it would not be able to win the powerful formation of thirty foundation building monks and five thousand elite soldiers.

Of course, she was still very careful.

So she said: "Order the whole army, line up in battle, and advance cautiously!"

A male general below questioned: "General Wei, the enemy army has come out to die without our strength, why don't we speed up our advance and strive to destroy the enemy army within today?"

Another male general chimed in: "Yes, if you can wipe out all the bandits in one day and take back Changping County, it will be a great achievement, you are so cringe, what can you do?"

The third male general said, "Are you still afraid that the bandits will not be able to set some traps in front of them?" The fact that the scouts were able to retreat without the slightest trace of battle showed that there were no traps ahead at all. Can't you even analyze that?"

The fourth male general said, "That's it." If I were the commander of the enemy army, even if I went out of the city to face the battle, I would only set up an ambush and kill us by surprise, where would I let the scouts come back safely?"

Wei Yuxiao took a deep breath, it was not the first time she had encountered such a situation, her order had just been issued, and before it was officially conveyed, the generals below began to question her order.

At the end of the day, it's because she's a woman.

She doesn't know how many times she has heard the generals below complain in private that a woman should be a commander, can she do a good job, she won't panic when she is in battle.

This group of men, who are deeply feudal, look down on women at all.

Asking a woman to be their boss is simply a humiliation, if it weren't for the military life in their bodies, and considering the severe punishment of the following crimes by the military system of the Song State, I am afraid that they would have made things difficult for Wei Yuxiao in public.

Wei Yuxiao was not angry, she understood that being angry at the moment had no effect on her at all.

She just said in an unquestioning tone: "This is a military order, do you want to disobey the military order?"

"If we have violated military orders, we are just giving you advice. Since you do not accept our advice, then we will naturally obey your commands. And we assure you that even if you don't take our advice, we will fight to suppress the bandits!"

The implicit meaning of this old fritter is that if something goes wrong, such as letting an important person in the enemy army run away, they will not take the blame as people who act according to orders, after all, they have given advice, but you don't listen, and if there is a merit, it is the credit of their efforts to suppress the bandits, and they must be rewarded.

Wei Yuxiao naturally heard the meaning of this sentence, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still endured it.

Then, Wei Yuxiao's order began to be conveyed.

The army of the state capital began to form a battle formation, and then maintained the formation and advanced.

When they saw a group of enemy troops on the high slope in front of them, everyone was a little confused.

Why didn't that group of enemy troops wear their shirts?

Even if you don't have armor, you can wear clothes, right?

And even if they don't wear a shirt, why do they stick all the spears in their hands upside down on the ground when they see us appearing, what are they doing?

Faced with this unknown situation, they walked more carefully.

Even the generals who had questioned Wei Yuxiao before kept their mouths shut, not daring to make any sound, and always vigilant around.

And Tang Xiao stood on the top of the high slope, looking at the approach of the state army, and said to Xu Shou beside him: "Second goods, go up and lead the dance." ”

At this time, the formation he asked the soldiers to put out was exactly according to the secret method of the Wang family, and every shirtless soldier was painted with a strange inscription, which was the essence of the secret method of the Wang family.

When these inscriptions are activated, they form a coherent defensive array that can be used to block high-level attacks.

It's just that to activate these inscriptions, they must be directly in contact with the aura of heaven and earth, and the people with the inscriptions must be in a state of blood, so Tang Xiao will let these soldiers be shirtless and let them come all the way, and in order to maintain the state of blood without destroying the formation position, let them stand in place and dance.

Previously, he asked Xu to teach veterans to dance, which was his intention.

As long as the defensive array is formed, it is difficult for the enemy to break through, and the defensive array can be used to rain arrows against the enemy army and form an attack on the side.

"Brother, why do you have to pole dance?" When Xu was about to fight, he asked the question he had asked yesterday again.

Tang Xiao replied as a matter of course: "This is enough to warm up." ”

Xu was immediately aggrieved.

He knew that this was Tang Xiao taking revenge for the last time he laughed at the other party's pole dancing, but he didn't seem to have any room to resist.

"Brother, can I not jump? He tried to struggle.

Tang Xiao kicked him on the ass and said sharply: "If you don't go up to lead the dance, what if the formation is messed up?"

At this time, Tang Xiao was wearing the spiked shoes that Xu Shushou gave him, and when he stepped down, he kicked Xu Shushu's buttocks and oozed blood.

Xu Shoushou was even more aggrieved, looking like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

Tang Xiao immediately gave the commanders of the soldiers a look, the commanders understood, and then commanded the soldiers to urge: "One, two, three, four, five, we have waited so hard." One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, we are in a hurry. ”

Tang Xiao turned his head and glared at Xu Xushu: "Did you hear that?" The soldiers are urging you, why don't you hurry over?"

After speaking, his eyes were a little more fierce.

Xu Shoushou could only grit his teeth and walked to the front of the queue aggrievedly.
