The two sergeants and others are out of the camp tent, only Gao Lian and Hu Yanzhuo are left in the camp, although it is still late at night, but both of them have no intention of sleeping, they are sitting on the chairs silent, there is also an inexplicable depression in the air, now Puzhou, Bozhou two roads of soldiers and horses have been disabled, in order to ensure local security, these two states can no longer continue to send troops to participate in the war, the entire bandit coalition army instantly reduced nearly 3,000 people, the total number is less than 10,000.

But the most terrible thing is not these, the most terrible thing is that once this matter spreads tomorrow, it will inevitably affect morale! As soon as Hu Yanzhuo thought of this, he only felt a headache, and finally sighed and said, "I really didn't expect this gang of Liangshan thieves to have such combat effectiveness!" What a humble look at them! ”

"The Liangshan thieves are really hateful, tomorrow I will have 10,000 troops to break through Liangshan and kill all the thieves!" Gao Lian gritted his teeth and said! At this moment, he calmed down again, and he forgot all about his panic just now.

Hu Yanzhuo was shocked when he heard this, knowing that Gao Lian was already really angry, and people often lose their minds and make wrong judgments under anger, he hurriedly said, "Don't, adult!" ”

Gao Lian asked angrily, "Why not?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Judging from the attack on the Puzhou and Bozhou state armies, this is clearly a premeditated sneak attack, the purpose is to take advantage of the unpreparedness of our army to eliminate our living forces, and whether it is from the time of the sneak attack, the two armies are in a hurry for half a day, and the people are sleepy and the horses are the most tired time, or from the location of the sneak attack, the attack location is selected in the plain area at the junction of the two states, which is extremely conducive to the sprint of the cavalry and the shooting of bows and arrows, which fully shows that the Liangshan bandits are not a simple gang of thieves!" ”

"What's more, ......," Hu Yanzhuo said with a worried face, "the lowly position still suspects a little ......!" ”

Gao Lian was stunned, "What do you suspect?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo said, "I suspect that there is the eyeliner of the Liangshan thieves in our coalition army!" ”

Gao Lian exclaimed, "How is this possible? ”

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Their two sneak attacks are so well prepared, which shows two points, first, they know about the imperial court's suppression of bandits, so they will strike first." Second, they also know what day we will assemble, and at the same time they know very well when the people and horses of Puzhou and Bozhou will set off, so they can intercept and launch a sneak attack halfway! ”

"And in order not to startle the snake, in case the Liangshan thieves know the news and abandon the mountain and flee, any arrangements for the suppression of the bandits are extremely confidential, and the orders sent to the states also emphasize the matter of secrecy, but they are still known by the Liangshan bandits."

"Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, we have such a big formation, it would not be strange if the Liangshan thief Kou knew if he had a heart. But the blame is on the attack on the people and horses of the two states! ”

"Even if the Liangshan thieves have eyeliner in Bozhou and Puzhou, when the two groups of people set off, assuming that their eyeliner rode the fastest horse back to report the news, this time and again, they will not have the time to set up an ambush and sneak attack!"

Hu Yanzhuo said with great certainty, "So, someone must have been tipping off them, and this person even knows when Bozhou and Puzhou will leave!" ”

Gao Lian laughed when he heard this, "Hehe, what did I say about General Huyan's worries, even if we generously send someone to inform the Liangshan thieves now, why not say that my imperial army is coming to conquer you?" Even if the state troops of Bozhou and Puzhou can't come, we still have 10,000 troops, let's attack Liangshan directly, how can they stop us if they have eyeliner? When the time comes, catch a few more thieves, and the interrogation won't you know who gave them the eyeliner? ”

Hu Yanzhuo almost fell off his seat when he heard this, and secretly said that Gao Lian thought about fighting a war too simply, the battle between the two armies is not a trivial matter, everything needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we have already suffered such a big loss because of the spies in the army, why does Gao Lian still care so much?

But Hu Yanzhuo couldn't refute Gao Lian, so he could only continue to persuade patiently, "My lord...... Putting aside the matter of spies for the time being, there are still two worries about the subordinates. ”

Gao Lian was immersed in the excitement of leading the army to kill Liangshan tomorrow, exterminate the thieves, and grab millions of dollars, and when he saw that Hu Yanzhuo was still so abrasive, he asked impatiently, "What else?" Say it all at once! ”

Hu Yanzhuo said, "I can't figure it out, how can they have so many cavalry, our Great Song Dynasty has always lacked horses, and there is a serious shortage of cavalry, and this time the 10,000 army is all infantry except for the five hundred cavalry brought by the lowly position." And the fact that the other party can break through the infantry armies of Pu and Bo shows that they are very good at using cavalry, which is a big threat to us! In addition to this, there is also the Divine Arm Bow, if the other party really has the Divine Arm Bow, and no matter how they have it, the key question is how many of them there are? If they also have hundreds, it will be a big threat to us! Adults may not know that the Divine Arm Bow has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the history of our army's war, in addition to effectively killing and injuring the opponent's soldiers, it can also directly threaten the opponent's commander! ”

Gao Lian smiled even more indifferently, "Oh, it turned out to be this, this war horse official knows what is going on, Zeng Lane of Zengtou City is a foreign national, it is said that he smuggled thousands of war horses from Liaojin and other places by virtue of his identity as a foreign national, when Zengtou City was attacked by Liangshan, Zeng Rong's whole family was killed, and these war horses must have fallen into their hands." But even if they have cavalry, it doesn't matter, Liangshan is full of mountain roads, and even if they have cavalry, they can't use it. ”

Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly reminded, "In case they arrange the cavalry to ...... at the bottom of the mountain,"

Gao Lian smiled, "Isn't that what I want?" They have a thousand cavalry, we have 10,000 infantry, 10,000 infantry can't beat a thousand cavalry? I think it's this group of thieves who knew that the cavalry couldn't be used, so they took the risk to attack Pu and Bo Prefectures, and it was only one time that they could be used. At that time, we have captured these 1,000 war horses, and this official will inevitably give a few hundred to General Huyan. ”

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but be thrilled when he heard this, the war horse was the most tempting thing for every Great Song officer!

"As for this divine arm bow, ......," Gao Lian said even more nonchalantly, "According to this official, it may not be really a divine arm bow, as for what it is, or a new weapon made by a skilled craftsman, or the Bozhou army was frightened and deliberately found an excuse to shirk responsibility, this is all possible." The official still said the same thing, we still have 10,000 troops, and tomorrow we will attack Liangshan like a bamboo, and everything will be solved! ”

Hu Yanzhuo still said unremittingly, "My lord, what I just said is ......,"

Gao Lian saw that Hu Yanzhuo was so disobedient, and finally became a little annoyed with disgust, and asked with a suppressed anger, "Then according to General Huyan's meaning, when should we attack?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo said, "Attacking in winter is already a taboo for soldiers, and if it catches up with heavy snow again, it is even more unfavorable to attack." When Gao Taiwei asked how many men and horses could be used to capture Liangshan, the lowly position also made a judgment based on the general thieves that only 10,000 horses could break Liangshan, and now it seems that the lowly position is wrong, the Liangshan thieves are by no means ordinary thieves, and the attack plan must be reformulated, it is best to be stationed first, and when the weather is warmer, we have also figured out the true strength of the thieves, and formulate the most perfect strategy to ......,"

"No way!" Gao Yu flatly refused, "This official has promised the army that everyone can go home for the New Year after paying the fee as soon as possible, if it is delayed until the New Year, where is the prestige of this official?" Especially ......,"

Gao Lian's voice suddenly lowered a little, but the chill in his words suddenly shocked Hu Yanzhuo's heart, "The two state armies of Puzhou and Bozhou have suffered this catastrophe, although we are with the two governors...... But there is no impermeable wall in the world, in case it is known by the imperial court, this official and General Huyan ...... Hum! Tomorrow must go to war as scheduled, and it must be done quickly! ”

Hu Yanzhuo sat on the seat, and he didn't know what to say anymore.......
