Feng Lian is also worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, even if he cannot be compared with Guo Xing in terms of the art of war, but his control of the subtleties of the battle situation is really very old-fashioned.

Although the incident will show that it is a deception and retreat, on the rapidly changing battlefield, it is often affected by any small matter, resulting in a deception that was originally a lure to the enemy, and finally turned into a real retreat and a real defeat.

Just imagine, at this time, the canyon was filled with the soldiers of the two armies, since it was a herald to retreat, they had to let the rear army withdraw from the valley first, so as to open a retreat for the front army; In this way, you will be able to lure your enemies into a trap you have set in advance.

And the military order to retreat and lure the enemy must not be shouted loudly, otherwise surrounded by the valleys on both sides, it will inevitably let the other party hear it clearly word for word, so that the whole strategy will be completely ruined.

But the soldiers in front of them are now all red-eyed, if they fight to the death and do not retreat, suddenly find that their comrades and brothers behind them are all secretly retreating without saying a word, what will be the feeling? And once the soldiers in front of the 'rear' are cut down by the enemy, and the Chinese army, which has already received the order to retreat, will inevitably have no consciousness in the face of the choice of life and death, and will directly turn the originally orderly retreat situation into a swarm of chaos; at that time, under the trampling on each other, the casualties will certainly be even more heavy, and the enemy will also feel that this rout has come without warning, and has become a superfluous move to startle the snake.

Even though the soldiers of these pioneer battalions are all soldiers of a hundred battles, the reaction to the choice of life and death is the nature brought out of the mother's womb, which is unavoidable at all, and it is not a problem that can be solved by training.

What's more, this kind of tragedy of deception turning into real failure is not without precedent in the long river of time.

Although Guo Xing heard of this result for the first time, after all, he was a young talent who had read poetry and books, and his understanding was not bad, Feng Lian only said the beginning, Guo Xing had already understood the key, and he fell into a dilemma for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, he looked at the sky and said to Feng Lian:

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid we will have to wait for the sky to get dark, and then we will be defeated. Presumably, by that time, we have really suffered heavy losses, and if we retreat at that time, we will be able to persuade Yan Chongwu to go deep into the valley to chase and kill me......"

Feng Lian also nodded at first, and just as he was about to pass on the general's order, he immediately turned around, and looked at Guo Xing with a puzzled expression:

"Young marshal? If it is after dark, it will be nothing if Yan Chongwu enters the valley, but under the heavy losses, we will also not be able to resist the siege of Yan Chongwu's 50,000 army! At that time, even if Liang Jing and his 150,000 reinforcements arrived, you and I would have already turned into ashes along with the enemy! ”

Guo Xing's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and he looked up at Feng Lianye, who was full of surprise:

"Didn't we talk about this a long time ago? Why did it come out again? ”

Feng Lian's lips and hands trembled slightly, and he held Guo Xing's hands tightly:

"Young marshal, young marshal, although the old man is a vulgar martial artist, he is not a stupid person. It turns out that everything you said before turned out to be to give the old man an illusion! Feng originally thought that you wanted the Donghaiguan army, which arrived in time, to block the valley mouth and block the enemy's entire army in the valley; And the sulfur powder planted on both sides of the valley was only to blow up the enemy's passage into the valley, and to separate the enemy from us by the way, so as to ensure the safety of our tired soldiers; But judging from your current orders, all the ambushes in advance are really aimed at dying with the enemy! Young marshal, young marshal, you are the only bloodline of the old handsome, how can you exchange your life with a northern barbarian? ”

At this point, Feng Lian finally understood what Guo Xing was thinking. According to this line of thought, he went through it from the beginning, and he found out what kind of mind Guo Xing had set up this dead end. And when Guo Xing explained this strategy to him before, he often told him intentionally or unintentionally that there were many arrangements for retreat, reinforcements, etc., which made him mistakenly think that Guo Xing had other plans, so he didn't care about obeying orders. Now as the meaning of the battle situation and the commander's order gradually becomes clear, it suddenly dawns on me! What reinforcements, what two-sided attacks, are just to create a misunderstanding that can be relieved for themselves.

And Guo Xing has never planned to get out alive since he entered Yanjiagou!

Guo Xing saw Feng Lian's excited expression, and just patted him holding his right hand:

"General Feng, I won't hide it from you anymore. If this battle fails, you and I, together with our eight thousand brothers, will naturally die without a place to be buried, and we will report to the king and the people with the body of the battlefield in battle, and there is nothing to say about this; But what if we really completely wipe out Yan Chongwu's subordinates and successfully escape? ”

"Later?" Feng Lian was also stunned by Guo Xing's question, let go of his arm and thought for a while, and said casually: "In the future, we will continue to be our Pingbei Army, oh, young marquis, you have to be a marshal, and Lao Feng will also be a pioneer officer for you......"

"If Yan Chongwu's Flying Bear Army is completely wiped out, why does the imperial court still keep the Pingbei Army? Who else do you want us to level? ”

“…… Desert North! ”

"If Your Majesty wants to destroy Mobei, you only need to completely cut off the grain route of the Mobei people, is there still a need to fight this battle?"

Feng Lian also stared at his eyes and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason. Seeing this, Guo Xing patted him on the shoulder:

"Uncle Feng, I won't tell you anything, this time the left and right prime ministers of the imperial court and His Majesty Emperor Tianyou are united, although it is extremely beneficial for the war between the two norths, but it can be described as a catastrophe for my Pingbei army...... That's it, I won't tell you about the dirtiness in it, you just need to understand that only if I, Guo Xing, died in battle, the name of my Guo family can be preserved. You...... Do you want to see me convicted of rebellion? ”

Feng Lian also waved his hand and refuted Guo Xingdao:

"Young marshal, you think too much! Although our Pingbei Army turned out to be monolithic, isn't Liang Jing Prime Minister Wang Cheng's person? Sending such a large share of war merits is reasonable, can he Wang Fang still kill us? What's more, what our Pingbei Army did, he Liang Jing also saw it in his eyes......"

"In fact, this war, or even the century-long war between the two norths, can be regarded as the final decisive battle between us and Yan Chongwu. And I asked Liang Jing to lead an army of 150,000 people, and I did come to receive the merit, and by the way, I collected the bones for us and others. In this way, I can not only protect the name of my Guo family's loyal ministers, but also want to use this as a basis to ask for a favor from Prime Minister Wang and even His Majesty, so that they can read that my Guo Xing is an understanding person and treat the living Pingbei soldiers well. ”

Feng Lian was also confused by his misty words. So he turned his mind, and with a wave of his big hand, he grabbed Guo Xing's wrist tightly:

"I don't know what you mean by that, but you're going to have to come with me now. If you want to stay and die with them, that's also Lao Feng's business, I have long wanted to follow the old marquis! If I really let you die here, how can I have the face to see the old marquis! No way! Absolutely not! ”

Feng Lian also said on his lips, and his body also used all his strength to drag Guo Xing out of the country. Guo Xing didn't resist, but he still pulled himself to the valley with a smile. It wasn't until Feng Lian also looked at the dense helmet blades in front of him that he stopped, and it was a little difficult to look at that appearance......

Guo Xing saw that he was embarrassed, but he smiled and said:

"Hey, you see, even if I want to leave, where is this going? And don't worry, I'm not done yet. Our uncle and nephew are not without a glimmer of life. Although in my whole plan, we, the eight thousand, have been put on a mortal predicament; But if the reinforcements led by Liang Jingsuo can arrive before the other party enters Yanjiagou, then we can really attack from both sides and completely strangle Yan Chongwu's 50,000 enemy troops. And if Liang Jing can take over the fruits of victory, maybe after the war is over, I Guo Xing can still leave this good head! ”

As soon as Feng Lian heard this, his heart settled down slightly. Then he spat on the ground fiercely:

"Damn, if he dares to deliberately procrastinate, Lao Tzu won't let him go!"

Feng Lianye, who knew what was at stake, stretched out his hand and tore the heavy general's armor, his naked upper body full of scars, picked up a plate axe with a large door panel, and shouted to a few familiar brothers behind him: "Always fuck sitting, your ass is numb, Lao Tzu is old, you have to move your waist and legs often!" Is there a man with goods in his crotch, and he went to the front with Lao Tzu to kill a few Youbei barbarians to have a good time? ”

Several well-known thorns in the pioneer camp, at this time, when they saw the heroic posture of the old general, they also learned from each other, and then they picked up a few good heavy blades, and chased their old generals to the depths of the canyon with a slanted waist.

Looking at their appearance, they don't look like battle-hardened tiger and wolf soldiers at all, but more like those hooligans and gangsters begging for food on the street in Yanjing City.

This bare-backed battle is an extremely dangerous stupid thing on the battlefield in peacetime. Because there are no eyes on the battlefield, if you are wearing armor and are accidentally injured by arrows, as long as you don't hurt the vital point, then at most you will suffer some skin trauma, and the experienced veteran gritted his teeth and pulled it out directly, and he can continue to fight; But without this seemingly thin and useless layer of leather armor, then the impact of stray arrows is not just skin trauma.

However, due to the terrain restrictions in the current battlefield, it is impossible to use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, which gives them the prerequisite for 'playing with a light backbone'.

So, led by Feng Lianye, a middle-aged man with gray hair, a group of shirtless 'evil men' dangled in front of the two armies......
