The sky was overcast, the clouds were thick, the bright red "Han" character battle flag was listlessly pulled on the flagpole, flocks of dragonflies and bats shuttled back and forth in the torches, no matter how the guards on duty drove it to no avail, the camp seemed to fall in the furnace, it was extremely hot, the neatly dressed Guards soldiers were wearing heavy armor, the morning heat was so breathless, the sweat penetrated the underwear, the infiltrated military uniform, all the way down the face, and there was a shallow pool under everyone's feet, but at this moment, no one dared to slack off, None of the soldiers dared to make a move.

In the sound of horns one after another, a horse flew in, passed through several cordons, and did not jump off the horse until the last fence, the knight sweated, fell on one knee, raised the brass talisman in his hand and shouted, "The battle report of the Sixth Army!!" ”

Several soldiers of the Guards immediately came out, took the military report from the knight's hand, and rushed in the direction of the king's tent.

At this moment, Lin Feng's big tent of the Chinese army is full of chairs and benches, stacks of military affairs reports are piled up on the desk, dozens of staff officers are refuting the case, the camp tent is coming and going, the heralds are in and out, the big battle is imminent, the front warning is announced, the rear is heavy and supplied, one after another the request for instructions and reports are gathered, and one after another is approved from here, and the responsible officers are handed over for execution, and the whole camp is extremely busy.

"Report!!" Guards Colonel Li Ergou lifted the curtain of the door, and the general reported it overhead, "General Ma has a report!" ”

"Pick it up!" Lin Feng took the military report and glanced at it slightly, then frowned slightly, raised his head and asked Li Ergou, "What about the person who delivered the letter?!" ”

"Drink water in front of the camp!"

"Call him in, I have something to ask!"

A moment later, the envoy of the Sixth Army was brought to Lin Feng's case, "I have seen the King of Han in my humble position, and the King of Han is a thousand years old!" ”

Lin Feng moved over the candle and squinted his eyes to look up and down, although the face of this reporter soldier was covered with blood and mud, but from the fluffy beard on the corner of his mouth, it could still be seen that he was very young, at this moment he was wearing the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulders, his military uniform was scattered, and his chest was full of blood, but there were no wounds on his body, and he didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy's, Lin Feng shook his head, even the communication officer was so embarrassed, it seemed that the situation on Ma Ying's side was not very good. Lin Feng smiled at him and said gently, "It's hard work!" ”

"Serve the King of Han, you deserve it!!"

"How's it going for you guys there?!"

The second lieutenant was stunned, his eyes drooped, and he couldn't help but look at the military newspaper on the side, revealing a hint of inexplicability, but his mouth was still extremely respectful, "Back to the King of Han, our Sixth Army has caught up with the Tartar Brigade that has beaten Dingxiang, and it is now in a fierce battle!" ”

"I know this......" Lin Feng waved his hand, "I'm asking how the fight is now?!" - Is Xue Timid Jun powerful?! ”

"This ......" The second lieutenant was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and then replied cautiously, "If you go back to the king, the Tartar Xue cowardly army is very capable of fighting!" …… But, but ......" he glanced at Lin Feng, bowed his head and said, "But we are not afraid of them, now our Sixth Army still has the upper hand!" ”

"Are they really that good?!"

"Actually...... Actually, it's not very powerful," the second lieutenant thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "It's just that the arrows are shot very accurately, and they are willing to fight hard, and they won't retreat, which is a bit difficult!" ”

"Right?!" Lin Feng smiled bitterly and picked up Ma Ying's military report and threw it aside, "I know that they are not easy to deal with, Xue cowardly, Xue cowardly, the troops who dare to call this name, can they still be tofu?!" He glanced at the second lieutenant and said with a wry smile, "Your General Ma is a megalomaniac, what's the use of telling me such big words as 'please be relieved by the lord' and 'what 'will destroy the enemy'?!" ”

The second lieutenant secretly glanced at Lin Feng and didn't dare to answer.

"How many brothers have we killed by the time you set out?!"

"Back to the King of Han, when the military gate came out, a total of more than 2,000 brothers died in battle......" Seeing Lin Feng's eyebrows jump, he hurriedly added, "Please be clear, the reason why we have killed so many brothers is because the Tartars set a trap at the beginning, and the vanguard of our Sixth Army was ambushed, so the casualties were miserable, but ...... But the Tartars didn't get a bargain, and they were also cut off by us with more than three or four thousand heads!! ”

"Are there any captives?! Do you want to make it clear? What are their specific numbers, how many troops are there in total, and who are the main generals? ”

"There are no prisoners......," the second lieutenant said with a wry smile, "The Tartars are very hard, and they would rather die than surrender, so our horse army ordered that no one should be left alive, and all those who cut off the horse will cut off their heads and pile them up!" ”

Lin Feng smiled dumbly, shook his head at Wang Shirong on the side and smiled bitterly, "What is this Ma Ying......" He waved his hand, "You go down and rest!" ”

Waiting for the herald to bow down and withdraw, Wang Shirong said, "My lord, the captured general Ma Ying did not get the order, and he killed and surrendered prisoners without permission, and he thought that this matter was ......."

Lin Feng glanced at him and cut off his words, "Kill well, it's what Lao Tzu told him to kill!! ——For the stubborn and stubborn barbarians, does Lao Tzu still have to fight Qi Wu and treat him with good wine? ! ”

Wang Shirong was embarrassed, and said curtly, "Yes, yes......"

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Lin Feng laughed out loud, and said with a pleasant face, "Ji Yun, I see that this tartar pierces his hands, Ma Ying is afraid that he won't be able to eat it, what do you think?!" ”

"Lord Mingjian!" Being slightly stabbed by Lin Feng, Wang Shirong was much more restrained, and immediately stood up, bowed and said, "As far as the minister knows, the Tartar army that attacked the Dingxiang grain team from Xinzhou is about 10,000 people, and it is also the elite main force of Geerdan, and the strength of the Ma Po Capture Department of our Sixth Army is comparable, and although General Ma is brave and brave, if it is the ......strength of his army alone, he shook his head, "Even if he can win the battle, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy casualties and lose his vitality!" ”

"I think so too, doesn't it say in the art of war? This, this...... Cough...... cough, the so-called ......" Lin Feng thought for a long time and didn't come up with those few sentences of classical Chinese, and said simply, "We have to concentrate superior forces and eat the enemy in one bite, don't we?!" ”

"Lord Shengming!" Wang Shirong nodded in agreement, "I think that at this time, the Sixth Cavalry Army will definitely fight with the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the battlefield is stalemate, for the comfort of the soldiers, our army should transfer elite military horses to reinforce the Ma Po Captives!" ”

"Then according to Ji Yun's meaning, how many troops should this king send to reinforce ?!"

"Back to the lord, the minister thinks that there are not too many reinforcements all the way, two or three thousand people are enough!" Seeing that Lin Feng was silent, Wang Shirong explained, "The reporting officer just now has already said that although Ma Poyu is difficult to win for a while, he is still pressing the Tartars to fight, so what they lack should not be troops, but confidence and momentum. ”

"Yes, that makes sense," Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, "Then draw two brigades from the Second Army of the Guards Cavalry, and call them Zhao Yingkui...... Oh no!! He shook his head in denial, and smiled at Wang Shirong, "Ask Wang Zhongxiao to lead the army to reinforce - they are all people I promoted from Ma Ying, this time to rescue the old brother, I think I will not make no effort, right?!" ”

"The lord is wise! Weichen ...... "Wang Shirong was just about to shoot a few sycophants, and suddenly there was chaos outside the camp tent, and the cannon sound in front was faint, and it was even connected, and there was no gap, and the war horses near him neighed, and for a while, I don't know how many people were galloping back and forth, and a personal guard reported loudly, "Report!" …… Lord Qi, there is a report from the Zhao and two armies on the Xinzhou front!!"

Lin Feng and Wang Shirong looked at each other in amazement, and stayed for a long time before saying, "Call him in!" ”

"Newspaper!! ......" As soon as the curtain was lifted, an officer rushed in, Lin Feng looked at him, and saw that he looked frightened, and his face was covered with sweat, "Qi Qi...... Qi Han King, humble and lowly at the order of Zhao Liangdong and Zhao Junmen - half a moment ago, the enemy army in Xinzhou suddenly dispatched the whole army and attacked our army camp!! ”

"What?!! ——" Lin Feng exclaimed, pushed away the desk in front of him, grabbed the officer's collar, and asked in a deep voice, "Geldan attacked at night?!" ”

"Exactly!! ......" the officer gasped for a moment and clenched his fists, "Back to the King of Han, the Tartar soldiers are also cunning, they take advantage of the sunset and the chaos of dusk, they secretly climb in front of our barracks, and then suddenly beat the trumpet and charge at us!! ”

"Bastard!! ......" Lin Feng loosened his shirt, gradually calmed down, returned to his seat, and asked condescendingly, "How is the battle situation now?!" ”

"Back to the words of the King of Han......" the officer lowered his head and said timidly, "at that time...... At that time, the brothers of the Sixth Army had just withdrawn, and our brothers from the Fifth Army had just been replaced, and they were eating dinner in shifts, so, so they accidentally fell into the way of the Tartars for a while, and now they ...... Now the ravines on the first line are almost lost, and now the Tartars are pushing the cannons, climbing our arrow towers and fences......"

"Zhao Liangdong, bastard, what is he eating?! Well?! -" Lin Feng scolded viciously, glaring at the officer, "How many enemy troops are there?!" ”

"There are so many torches in the dark that I can't see clearly, but I estimate that there are at least thirty or forty thousand people!" The officer kowtowed and said, "Zhao Junmen called for humiliation to repay the King of Han, saying that Geldan is likely to pull up the team and fight us to the death......

Lin Feng took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Wang Shirong, it seems that this war Geerdan may have been premeditated, the so-called good ones don't come, and those who come are not good, I'm afraid I have to make a break with Zhun Geer today.

"Ahem, ahem...... Lord!! ......" Seeing Lin Feng sitting there stunned without saying a word, Wang Shirong coughed dryly and reminded, "Shicai, what you said about reinforcing Ma Poju?!" ……”

"It's business as usual!! The reinforcement plan remains the same!! Lin Feng came back to his senses and shouted, "Li Ergou! - Li Ergou, you come in - go, order the Second Guards Cavalry Army, and ask Lieutenant Colonel Wang Zhongxiao to lead two brigades to quickly reinforce the Sixth Cavalry Army and annihilate the enemy who committed Dingxiang as soon as possible!! ”

Li Ergou took the talisman and answered loudly, just about to turn around and go out, when he suddenly heard Lin Feng shouting, "Wait a minute!" ”

Li Ergou turned around, Lin Feng walked closer, and said word by word, "Tell Wang Zhongxiao and Ma Ying, this battle must be fast - let's not take prisoners, don't capture, kill all the Tartars and return to Xinzhou immediately - one word, that is, 'fast', 'fast', 'fast'!! ”

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will obey my orders!!"

After Li Ergou came out of the account, Wang Shirong hurriedly stepped forward and advised, "Lord Mingjian, according to the current situation, the cowardly elite who rushed to Dingxiang is probably the abandoned son of Du Geerdan, and his real purpose should be to break through my Xinzhou defense line while our Han army is drawing troops to change defenses-please Lord Mingcha!" ”

"Humph! I'm afraid he won't come!! Lin Feng snorted, smiled disdainfully, and pointed to the front and said, "Now there are two armies of Zhao Liangdong and Ruike on the front line in Xinzhou, plus more than 50,000 auxiliary militia troops, in addition, we also have more than 250 or 60 large and small artillery, the camp is strong, and the forts are lined up, if he Geerdan hides in Xinzhou Lao Tzu will still have no problem with him, but if he dares to offend my big battalion, Lao Tzu will call him to have no return......

"Boom ......" A series of loud noises drowned Lin Feng's words in the waves, Wang Shirong looked up in amazement and said blankly, "What's the matter?!" Could it be that Gerdan's artillery is farther than ours?!! ”

Before the words fell, there was another explosion, rolling back and forth over the camp, shaking the ears of everyone in the tent buzzing, "Whew-", the curtain of the tent suddenly fluttered up, slamming the door frame, a cyclone slammed into the hall, the giant candle was scraped into flames, the documents scattered on the case floated and rolled, sprinkled everywhere, the stuffy air disappeared without a trace, everyone's pores were loosened, and their hearts couldn't help but praise involuntarily, what a timely wind!

"Bad ......" A drop of water hit Lin Feng's cheek, he reacted violently, and exclaimed, "Oh bad!" …… It's going to rain?!! ”

As if to respond to his judgment, a lightning bolt suddenly pierced the sky, and the sky and the earth were suddenly white, as if the old black and white photo, "boom ......" a string of thundered, the wind swept the ground, and the large water droplets were thin and dense, violently knocking on the oilcloth on the roof, and in an instant, the heavy rain was pouring down.

"Oops!! ——" Wang Shirong was the second person to react, and without waiting for Lin Feng's order, he jumped up violently, rushed out of the door, and shouted wildly, "Someone...... Someone!! - Prepare the tarpaulin and cover me with gunpowder...... Hurry, hurry, hurry......" At this moment, his head was scattered, his face was covered with rain, and his usual elegance had already been thrown out of the clouds, and he kicked a guard soldier in the ass violently, and scolded hoarsely, "...... Hurry, hurry!! If it's too late, Lao Tzu will cut off your head!! ……”

In the vast rain, a group of cavalry rushed to the front of the gate, and without waiting for the guards at the gate to let go, they rushed out of the king's tent, only to kneel on one knee and report loudly, "The Guards Artillery Brigade is urgent!" - Qiyu Han King, heavy rain fell from the sky, our army's batteries were flooded, all the gunpowder was soaked, and the cannons could not be fired! - Please show the king!! ”

Before the sound fell, another horse flew in, knelt down and reported loudly, "King Qi Han - the first army of the Guards Rick has a report, the rain is fierce, and the front-line musket camp firearms cannot be fired!" - Please show King Han!! ……”

There was silence for a long time, and a gloomy voice came from inside the king's tent, "Got it!" Lin Feng put on his helmet and walked out, letting the heavy rain drench his whole body, he glanced at the herald, and said coldly, "If the firearm can't be fired, it will be a white-knives battle!" - Are your bayonets ornaments?!! ”

"Yes......" The herald of the artillery brigade hesitated slightly, and said hesitantly, "...... But...... But King Qiyu, our artillery brigade has not been trained in hand-to-hand combat, you see......"

Lin Feng was furious, flew up violently, kicked heavily in the chest of the herald, only to hear a few crisp bone sounds, the herald broke his ribs when he boarded, curled up in the muddy water, like a cooked shrimp, Lin Feng strode forward, twisted up his clothes, and said viciously, "Lao Tzu didn't train you to eat, how can you eat?!! ”

"Yes!! ......" The herald endured the huge pain, and with the strength of Lin Feng, he actually struggled to kneel, clasped his hands into fists, and hissed loudly, "I understand!" - King Han forgives the sin, please let the humble death come to the front!! ……”

"Good! It's Lao Tzu's soldiers," Lin Feng loosened his shirt and praised, "It's a man, go ahead!" ”

He drew his long knife with his backhand, looked left and right, and shouted an order, "Guards! - Gather your men and follow me to face Gerdan!! ”
