Riding a horse to a hill, Liu Zhixing looked at the traces of the Chu army's evacuation, and the well-planned encirclement and suppression turned out to be like this. In the end of the battle, the main general of the Chu army could still lead 700 cavalry to break through, and there were hundreds of cavalry scattered. As the head of the cavalry, Zhou Yan is still pursuing the scattered and fleeing Chu army, and I don't know if the three brothers Gao Xiaolong, Zheng Shuixin, and Zheng Shuiji can be the seven hundred cavalry of the Chu army.

If it weren't for Lu Lin's final sword slashing of the Chu army, the deputy general would not know whether this battle was considered a victory, and Lin Zhong led 3,000 kamikaze battalions to resist 10,000 Chu troops in the territory of Daliang, although there were various reasons, and finally won a great victory. Thinking that the 13th Battalion had undergone two years of training and had spent the best equipment resources on these people, the 13th Battalion was no worse than the Kamikaze Battalion. After this battle, the shortcomings of the 13th Battalion were fully revealed, and if the 3,000 people of the Kamikaze Battalion were to encircle and suppress, it would definitely do better than the 13th Battalion.

Now I only hope that Gao Xiaolong can leave the main general of the Chu army, and the bones everywhere are more or less the brothers of the thirteenth battalion. Liu Zhixing's heart hurts, these are all brothers, and how many people will disappear in the future. At this time, I finally understood that mercy is not an empty word, and a benevolent general may be a good person, but not necessarily a good general.

Standing his spear upright on the mound, Liu Zhixing's eyes were red. Shouting at the sky, Lu Lin arranged the retreat and hurried with Chu Yang. Seeing the general whose murderous spirit did not decrease but increased, the two of them felt chills in their hearts. At this time, Liu Zhixing seemed to have changed and was no longer a talkative young general.

Chu Yang said: "General, our army suffered 643 casualties, 273 seriously wounded, 370 killed in battle, and countless minor wounds. "I have followed Liu Zhixing for many years, and I don't know how I don't know what the general wants is not victory but casualties among the soldiers.

But he didn't expect Liu Zhixing to ask decisively: "How is Chu Jun." ”

Chu Yang continued: "General Hui, our army has beheaded 563 people, and 352 people who are seriously injured and cannot recover. The fugitives are expected to be 700 people, but Zhou Yancong led the pursuers to know. Gao Xiaolong's department is still unknown. ”

Liu Zhixing knew the battle situation, and now the only thing he was worried about was whether the thirteenth battalion and five hundred elites led by the three of them could keep the Chu army in Daliang. After nodding, he said: "Chu Yang ordered you to lead two hundred cavalry to help, not to fight, and bring the brothers back as much as possible." ”

The two of them were a little surprised, they shouldn't have pursued and killed them all, and when they saw Liu Zhixing's stern eyes, they didn't dare to disobey and go on the horse. On the hill, only Liu Zhixing and Lu Lin were left, and Lu Lin, who was holding a long sword in his hand, couldn't help but ask: "General, have we really won?" ”

Looking at the dust flying under Chu Yang's horse, he said, "Sort of." ”

As the people closest to Liu Zhixing, I really can't see the disappointment in the general's eyes so far. Chu Hanlin personally observed this battle for more than a month, and even had several skirmishes with this cavalry army before. Liu Zhixing and Chu Hanlin planned for many days, whether it was the choice of the battlefield, the changes in the battle formation, and the selection of personnel, they were all carefully planned. Why didn't Shao Jiu's crossbowmen be brought, didn't he want the soldiers to see blood, the thirteenth battalion that had not seen blood was not a real army after all.

It was good from the start, and there was not the slightest mistake at the beginning of the flank attack. Until the melee between the two armies began, Liu Zhixing became wrong, and the time advantage in a moment became a disadvantage. The Chu army has always been in a chaotic position, but the thirteenth battalion has a situation of fighting alone, especially with Da Niu as the leader, You Dahu, and Zhang Han are not on the battlefield for the first time. If you say that the combat power is a brave soldier, but you lack a little bit of firmness as a general, the consequences are unimaginable after a long time.

Thirteen battalions and sixteen generals, except for Liu Zhixing, Chu Hanlin, and Liang Bo, in this battle, Liu Zhixing saw that the others except Zhou Yancong had the consciousness of leading the army, and the others were more like bandits, fighting and swarming without any rules. If it weren't for Liu Zhixing sitting at an important juncture, I'm afraid this battle would not be a tragic victory but a big defeat.

At this time, it was clear in his heart that among the others, only Zhou Yancong had the ability to lead an army to fight, and the others were only suitable for fighting a battle that was sure to be won. said to Lu Lin: "This time I should go back to popularize the art of war for you, the soldiers above the centurion must put down all the things under them, and don't practice your sword first, and follow Hanlin to learn how to command the army." Those who are illiterate will follow Liang Bo to read and write, and if they are not convinced, Lu Lin will hand them over to you until they are convinced. ”

After following Liu Zhixing for a long time, Lu Lin has always complained in his heart, especially Chu Hanlin is obviously under Liu Zhixing's brain trust in the thirteenth battalion. said to Liu Zhixing: "General, I can't follow Chu Hanlin to learn." ”

Lu Lin, who had the highest kung fu in the thirteenth battalion, looked very serious, and Liu Zhixing stared sideways at Lu Lin. This was the first time that Lu Lin had refuted his wishes. As the head of the thirteen generals, Lu Lin's eyes were full of stubbornness, and Liu Zhixing was even more angry. Unexpectedly, Lu Lin turned out to be the most difficult to convince of all, and said fiercely: "Lu Lin, your swordsmanship is indeed the best in the world, and no one in the thirteen battalions dares to say that it is not." Even if I, Liu Zhixing, learn the marksmanship taught by Hua Qingzhen, I won't be able to pass a hundred moves under your sword. Could it be that you can win a hundred battles with your bravery, and what can you do with swordsmanship, so that you can bring this battle soldiers to life. ”

Unconvinced, Lu Lin said: "Could it be that he Chu Hanlin can do it." ”

Liu Zhixing stared at Lu Lin and said, "Hanlin can't do it, but it can make the soldiers' deaths worthwhile." I know that you are blaming me now, why Chu Hanlin, who has not been outstanding in the army in the past two years, has reused his kung fu in the past two years, and even a centurion can beat Chu Hanlin. You didn't ask, but today I'm telling you. At the beginning of the establishment of the thirteenth battalion, there would be no current thirteenth battalion without Chu Hanlin, you were born not bad, you didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and I didn't know when I was not the main general. You only see that the thirteenth battalion has been sent with silver and weapons, but you know how much Hanlin has paid. Do you think that just by virtue of His Majesty's name, Sima in the army can send things, and the soldiers of the thirteenth battalion can have cotton clothes to wear in winter and things to escape the heat in summer without the various military laws of Hanlin. I also admire Chu Hanlin for this, with Liang Bo in my Liu Zhixing dare to go deep alone without worries, and with Chu Hanlin in me Liu Zhixing dared to single-handedly enter the enemy camp, because I know that even if I die in battle, Chu Hanlin can lead the soldiers to achieve the final victory, you Lu Lin can do it, or a child like Gao Xiaolong can do it. ”

Lu Lin's expression was tense and he didn't say anything to refute it, and he was very convinced of Liu Zhixing and Lu Lin. It can be said that Liu Zhixing does not have the current Lu Lin, let alone the current 13th Battalion. There were no 500 cavalry to break into the 30,000 white-armored army back then, and now the highest of the thirteen battalions and thirteen generals is just a centurion, and he has the current military position anyway. The establishment and training of the thirteenth battalion has always been dominated by Lu Lin, and Liu Zhixing rarely asked, not because he didn't ask but trusted, and he didn't have any thoughts about miscellaneous matters. I didn't expect the thirteenth battalion to be such an army, which made Liu Zhixing too disappointed.

Approaching Lu Lin, he said: "You can also see in this battle, the courage of the soldiers of the thirteenth battalion to kill the enemy is no less than that of any battalion of the Changfeng Army. Why was the Chu army fleeing in such a situation, you must know that this time the army was nearly twice as large as the Chu army. The Lord will kill the enemy with himself as the center, and once he enters the battlefield, he only knows how to kill the enemy, regardless of whether the soldiers behind him can keep up. Let's ask if a person is strong, take you Lu Lin as an example, what can you do if you are invincible in the kung fu army. Ten people can fight, and a hundred people can beat it with all their strength, so what about thousands of people. You are all proud warriors, but not proper generals. None of you are as good as Hanlin in this regard, his kung fu is not as good as yours, and his prestige in the army is even worse than yours. But each leads an army, and you are not his opponent. ”

Lu Lin was even more unconvinced, and said: "Fighting is to kill people, and it is not possible to defeat the enemy with your mouth." What ability does General Chu Hanlin have to teach us, just because he has read a few more books than me? ”

"That's right, just because he reads a few more books than you. If you don't rely on swordsmanship, what can you compare with Hanlin, if you give each of you a thousand people, you can beat Hanlin. Seeing that Lu Lin was about to refute, Liu Zhixing said decisively: "Don't use your theory to talk nonsense, I know very well in my heart that you will definitely lose." ”

Regarding Liu Zhixing's words, Lu Lin didn't know how to refute them, so he was silent. At this time, I felt in my heart what kind of ecstasy soup Chu Hanlin poured into the general, two years ago, Chu Hanlin was just a weak scholar among the brothers. In everyone's opinion, Chu Hanlin's survival at Jiaokou depended on luck, and without luck, how could he Chu Hanlin survive that battle.

A loud voice should have been something to be happy about, and the pride that Lu Lin was proud of was not as good as Chu Hanlin, who could only move his mouth, by Liu Zhixing. How could he be willing in his heart, but now he can see Liu Zhixing's anger. What can he Lu Lin do, is it true that in Liu Zhixing's heart, he Lu Lin is really not as good as a scholar Chu Hanlin?

His eyes were staring at Liu Zhixing, staring at the general for the first time. said: "Could it be that the strength of the thirteenth battalion can only be achieved by him Chu Hanlin alone, and all of us are not as good as a person who can only read." If this is the case, what is the purpose of our hard training, learning what is in the book and winning all battles. ”

Liu Zhixing saw Lu Lin's seriousness, and said: "The thirteenth battalion is the thirteenth battalion if it leaves, even if there is no me, Liu Zhixing is also the thirteenth battalion of the Changfeng Army." You know why? The transfer of personnel in an army is a common thing, and there are still a few people in the Changfeng Battalion who are old people when they saw the camp. I'm afraid that decades have passed, and none of the original people are gone, but the spirit of the army is still there. Each camp has its own beliefs, and now we are the soul of the thirteenth battalion. These are far from enough, will you survive a hundred years, or can you guarantee that all your brothers will survive every battle. It's not that the thirteenth battalion needs the soul of the army and the belief that belongs to the thirteenth battalion alone, and I can see that the generals are centered on us in this battle, and they don't want to embarrass their own generals, instead of thinking about the thirteenth battalion. It's my fault and yours' fault. It's going to take me back and train again, and you should think about why it's the way it is. ”

Looking at Lu Lin's firm eyes, Liu Zhixing lifted the spear beside him with one hand and said: "You should learn the art of war, only in this way can I rest assured that you will lead a soldier and horse." Lu Lin is the god of war in the thirteenth battalion, just like Xue Liren is in the Changfeng army. As long as you walk in front of you, you will have the momentum of an army, and you should be proud of that. But Xue Liren is not a good kung fu to become a god of war, Xue Liren led 10,000 Changfeng battalions to make the enemy fearful. It's not that the enemy is afraid of Xue Liren, but that he is afraid of the Changfeng Battalion led by Xue Liren. ”

Turning over the horse, he continued: "There should be invincible opponents in the Lulin army, and there should also be wise men, and every battle can not be won by force. The invincibility in the army is different from the invincibility in the rivers and lakes, there is the first in the world on the rivers and lakes, when there is an undefeated army in the army, and a hundred victories in a hundred battles are different from being undefeated. ”

Looking up at the south, Gao Xiaolong was worried in his heart, not how many people he could leave but how many people he could bring back. said to Lu Lin: "Let's go, after all, it is the first victory of the thirteenth battalion, and it is still worth rejoicing." ”

As for what Lu Lin said, he didn't say it to himself, if he said that the tactics of the thirteenth battalion were messy, there was no reason to be the main general. recognized his own shortcomings, and thought of why Chen Geng never gave himself the reason to fight. If the thirteenth battalion was defeated in the face of the Chu army a year ago, it would not be known how many people would survive. Knowing that Lu Lin was on the horse, the two galloped towards the reorganized army.
