Chapter 269: Countermeasures
Luo Bu watched from the side and felt distressed, but thinking that this Baodi City would be given to Qi Lie sooner or later, let him go as bad as he liked.
Wen Lan was surprised and delighted, he originally planned to use the Blood Smoke Eight Cavalry to fight against the four generals of the Blue Sea, he should be able to gain the upper hand, but unexpectedly, Qi Lieken personally went down, and laughed at the moment: "Okay, the Blood Flame King is well aware of the righteousness and thoughtfulness, and I will personally serve wine to send the Blood Flame King into battle when I turn around." ”
Qi Lie glanced at Wen Lan and was indifferent to his earnest words, but turned around and looked around: "Does anyone else want to compete with me Qi Lie for the position of pioneer?" ”
After a sigh, the needle drop was suddenly audible.
The former Salam brothers and Labus had already stepped aside, bowing their heads and not daring to say a word.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Wen Lan turned to Su You with satisfaction and said, "Lord of the Nation, then the position of vanguard will be held by the Blood Flame King, is it okay?" ”
Su You was still lazily crooked on the throne, and helplessly spread his hands and said, "Old Yang, you have been talking to them in Imulan just now, and I can't understand a word." ”
Wen Lan then remembered that she was using Imulan just now, and she had forgotten that Su You couldn't understand this thing. smiled at the moment: "It's the old minister's negligence, and the old minister is the ......."
Su You suddenly gestured to signal that he didn't have to continue.
"Lao Yang, I'm sleepy, I see that since you have already discussed it, and the Blood Flame King is very powerful, there is nothing wrong with being a pioneer, so let's do what you want."
After saying that, he yawned and stood up, muttering in his mouth, "Herin? Heping? Help me back to sleep for a while...... I don't understand what they're talking about, so why are you sitting here in vain? ”
He Ping and He Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support Su You, He Ping couldn't help but smile and said quietly: "It's okay if the lord of the country doesn't understand, the slaves and maids can remember it, and they will recite every sentence to the lord of the country." ”
Su You smiled in her ear and said, "That's very good, it's better to memorize some more poems and songs that I have taught you in the past few days." ”
After speaking, he left the throne, and regardless of the people below watching him and the maid grinding his ears and temples, he went out of the hall by himself.
Wen Lan was a little surprised, since this Su You and Rob came back from Thorn Rock City, except for going out of the city to ride horses, he has been living in seclusion, and he always looks lazy when he sees people. Luo Bu told him several times as if to give him the merit that it was because of the dedication of the acacia spring wishful couch, but he still couldn't believe that the tricky Su Xiaochen before had really become Su You who went with the flow?
As long as he's not out of the way. As for the rest, it doesn't matter how arrogant and obscene he wants.
The lord of a small country is just a dew plate of his own.
Thinking of this, Wen Lan sneered, stood up and said: "Everyone, since the position of the vanguard has been decided, then without further ado, in three days, please ask the Blood Flame King to take the 20,000 horses of his headquarters south to the Sickle Valley, and camp in front of the Linzhou array, and the army will set off five days later, and I and the rest of the troops will arrive later." This is the end of today's military discussion, and the tribes can return to the camp to reorganize and prepare to send troops. Please ask the Blood Flame King to stay and discuss the battle strategy again. ”
Qi Lie nodded, and also commanded loudly: "The Eight Horsemen of Blood and Smoke obey the order, except for Wushu and Kedu, who stay in the Chinese army to follow the lord, the other six horsemen will go south with me!" ”
Immediately, a majestic response sounded, and it was the famous Eight Horsemen of Blood and Smoke.
Seeing that there was nothing left to do with them, everyone withdrew from the council hall one after another. Eagle Whisper King Hunying also stood up, and when he walked past Qi Lie's side, he said with a smile: "It goes without saying that the Blood Flame King is heroic, and this time I only wish Ma to success." After speaking, he whispered: "I will send two high-level falconry envoys to your camp to help you." ”
Qi Lie let out a faint "um".
Hunying had no intention of competing with him, and it was obvious that the Blade Clan was getting stronger and stronger right now, and she didn't want the Blood Clan to suffer something and lose the balance between the three clans.
After a while, everyone in the hall dispersed, leaving only the two elders of the Wen family and Qi Lie.
Wen Lan said with satisfaction: "Qi Lie, the most gratifying thing for me is that you can understand the situation in front of you, in fact, just an Ice Wind City is nothing, I am even more happy for you is that this battle will definitely make the prestige of your blood clan famous in the world!" You must know that I, Wen Lan, never fight a battle that I am not sure of, if you are willing to take the lead, I will definitely pave the way for you. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Wen Wen, who pulled out a roll of paper from his sleeve and placed it in his hand.
Wen Lan handed over the scroll: "You can take a look, this is a secret report from Linzhou, at present, the Golden Feather Battalion of Bihai is divided into five thousand each of the left and right forwards, five thousand each of the left and right flanks, 30,000 of the Chinese army, plus 10,000 people of the Baisha Battalion is the rear army." Linzhou City has been burned by you before, and the people in the city have fled to the south, and the current Linzhou City is almost in ruins. Therefore, Zhu Yutang simply ordered the 30,000 Chinese troops to be stationed in the city, and the rest of the troops were arranged in turn around the broken walls of the city wall. Your cavalry is naturally invincible in the open field, but in the face of this Linzhou City, you have to reformulate countermeasures. ”
Qi Lie looked at Bihai's garrison map, pondered for a while, and said, "In that case, I have a plan. Linzhou City is built by the side of the Jueling Peak, the Jueling Peak on the west side is insurmountable, but there is a road on the east side to bypass Linzhou City. I personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to make a feint frontal attack, only fighting in front of the city without attacking the city, but I taught the six horsemen of Blood and Smoke to lead 25,000 men and horses to bypass from the east side and take the liquid directly. ”
Wen Lan smiled slightly and said, "Although the Blood Flame King's plan is good, it was expected by Zhu Yuyu to take the lead. ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"According to the report from the secret agent I set up in Taiye City, she has guessed that Imuran will use this strategy to outflank and bypass Linzhou City from the east side, so she ordered Wu Qing, the general of Heze, to lay an ambush on the east side and wait for us to take the bait."
"How many ambushes?"
"Five thousand, ten thousand."
Qi Lie thought for a while, frowned and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of this ambush, since I know that Wu Qing is ambushed on the east side of the city, I can prepare early, but I have fought in Linzhou several times, and I know that the east of the city is a swampy land, if no one stops me, my cavalry can still cross carefully and slowly, and it is indeed a headache if I encounter an ambush." ”
Wen Lan nodded and said, "Since you know the difficulties, it will be much easier to be cautious." Do you know why I know that winter is coming, but I still don't move? ”
"Why?"
"I'm just waiting for the day of frost, the cold wind together, even the snow that was blown down on the top of the peak, once covered in the swamp, it can freeze into ice, this time last year I sent someone to quietly go to the field to investigate, the thickness of the ice is enough to make your cavalry walk on the ground, so even if Wu Qing is in a secret ambush, with the courage of your bloody eight horsemen, it should be no problem. And ......"
Wen Lan said, beckoning to Wen Wen again.
Gentlely, he took out a packet of powder from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Don't worry, in order to make the ice stronger, I will have Hunying's eagles scatter this powder on that swamp two days in advance."
"What is this?"
"This is the medicinal powder that my blade clan extracted from the ore, this powder melts when it encounters water, and it can make the water immediately turn into ice, which is called falling crystal powder." Wen Lan said, took a teacup, poured a little white powder into it, and saw that white smoke suddenly rose from the teacup, and the cold was overwhelming.
Wen Lan threw the teacup to the ground with her backhand, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into eight petals, but the tea in the cup had already frozen into a big ice lump dripping and spinning on the ground, and there were clearly some blue tea leaves in the ice cubes.
Qi Lie couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and nodded: "Your blade clan's alchemy technique is really wonderful. ”
Wen Lan said: "But even so, we can't take it lightly. I'll tell you the truth, this time, the secret agents I planted in Taiye City only found out the strategies of two of the five generals, and the other three generals don't know what tricks they will have, and the Blood Flame King must not take it lightly. ”
Qi Lie let out an "oh" and asked, "Didn't the Great Witch God say that Zhu Yutang plans to drive the expedition in person?" As long as I can pass through Wu Qing in the swamp and pass through Taiye City, then the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Linzhou City will be useless, and if Zhu Yutang is in Taiye City at that time, I will go to Taiye City to catch her, if she is in Linzhou City, then the remaining 90,000 soldiers and horses brought by the lord of the country can attack the city head-on and pocket the prey sent to the door. ”
"Well, you're right. However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, no matter what, you must be extremely careful not to fall for the tricks of the southerners. As long as we capture Linzhou City, Taiye City will lose its barrier and become a lonely city. You remember, the day Taiye City falls is the time when Baodi City is assigned to your blood clan. I, Wen Lan, promise that I will definitely let you Qi Lie let your blood clan show off your merits and be brave! ”
Qi Lie still looked solemn, nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
Wen Wen watched Qi Lie stride out of the council hall, and asked softly, "Brother is really relieved to let Qi Lie give it a go this time?" ”
"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. Why don't I worry about him? ”
"Brother, it's not easy to let the tiger spit out the meat in his mouth, if he really takes Taiye City, will he obediently give it to Rob again?"
Wen Lan replied without the slightest hesitation, "Yes." ”
"What precautions does Brother Fei have?" Wen Wen thought about it, and asked hesitantly: "Brother is so confident, do you want to wait for Qi Lie and Jin Yu Ying to be defeated......
"Nonsense!" Wen Lan suddenly lowered her face: "Gentle, I think you have been mixed with Rob Buler for too long and have been contaminated with the filthy habits of those flies and dogs!" Since I use Qi Lie as a pioneer, I will never doubt him! Soldiers are not tired of deception, but it is the art of war, not people. If he Qi Lie is bent on charging for Imuran, then his blood clan deserves that my Wen Lan will not lose a point from him! The unsightly deeds done by Li Houcong of Cangwu Kingdom will never be something that my Wen family will do! I have been secretly planning for decades, and the only situation I don't want to see is that the three clans are deceitful to me, you are my Wen descendant, you also have to remember for me, you can deceive the enemy, deceive your own people, that is self-destruction of the city wall! ”
Yixi's words were gentle and silent.
Wen Lan rarely lectured her younger brother so harshly, and seeing that he was embarrassed, she said in a slightly softened tone: "Gentle, I know that there are some things that you are not good at, and there are some things that I am not as good as you, so I will divide the labor with you, and you should worry more about the things after the account in the future, and you don't have to think too much about the things before the battle." ”
Gently and obediently, he replied: "The elder brother has learned a lesson, and the younger brother has written it down." ”
