Zhao Degang almost couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Lu Zhongtian in surprise. Lu Zhongtian continued: "If it is clumsy, we have the absolute strength to crush our opponents, and we don't have to fight with them like this at all. On my command, all the infantry cavalry was brought up and all the houses in the town were destroyed, so that they had no place to hide. It also makes it impossible for them to take advantage of the terrain at all. All the houses, the trees, and the walls, all I razed to the ground. So that these rats hiding in the shadows can't hide. It is also impossible to use the terrain of the street to block it. ”

Zhao Degang nodded and said, "Yes, Lu Xiangming should do this." I've wanted to do this for a long time. We have a lot of people, and we can quickly move the whole town. ”

Lu Zhongtian sighed and said, "Go ahead." Tell the order to go. ”

Akakura Town is the place where the wharf at the end of the Bianhe River is located, and the transfer place of goods from land to water in the southwest is really not small. There are thousands of houses, stretching for three or five miles. But even so, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the destruction was only in a moment.

Tens of thousands of horse-foot forbidden troops turned into demolition brigades and began to destroy and demolish all the houses and trees around the left side of the street. Years of trees have fallen, houses have collapsed, and walls have been torn down. Smoke and dust billowed everywhere. The dense ant-like soldiers were like bulldozers, razing to the ground wherever they went. Soon, the east side of the town suddenly opened up, and you could already see the Bianhe River meandering on the south side and the green seedlings in the paddy fields on the north side.

At this rate, within two hours, the entire town of Akakura will be completely razed to the ground and reduced to ruins. By then, the topography has been lost. Lu Zhongtian acted in this seemingly stupid way, and his purpose was obvious, that is, to destroy the other blocking methods that the other party was likely to deploy. When the town is destroyed, all of the opponent's tactics to take advantage of the market's location will be null and void. If the other party wants to die, it will be a dead end.

Sure enough, there was a reaction on the empty street ahead. Hundreds of riders poured out from between the houses and alleys on both sides, gathering in the middle of the street. The first person rode a tall five-flowered horse, dressed in a thin shirt, and had a sturdy figure, it was Lin Jue.

"These houses are the property of the people, go and tell you Lu Xiang, why destroy the houses of the people? They've all fled, but they're still coming back. Did Lu Xiang do this to teach them to be homeless? Lin Jue shouted loudly to the cavalry who could not break through through the hot ground.

The news quickly reached Lu Zhongtian, and Lu Zhongtian, Zhao Degang and others stepped forward and stood still.

"Lin Jue, if you want to use these tricks to stop the footsteps of my army, that's a fantasy. The old man razed this town precisely to drive you out. Lu Zhongtian sneered.

Lin Jue said: "It's not advisable to destroy people's houses, don't you see that I even chose to set fire to the square in the middle of the street?" There is no house near me that is on fire, and I will not destroy the people's goods. As the prime minister of the Great Zhou, you are not as good as me. ”

Lu Zhongtian laughed and said: "These words are meaningless, I advise you to be captured, even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you can't escape, the old man vows to catch you." ”

Lin Jue said: "What about letting us go?" Why did you regret it? I knew you were talking like a fart. Luckily, I'm prepared. If I believe the words of you, an old thief, I am afraid that you will already be dead without a burial

It's a place. ”

Lu Zhongtian sneered: "You and I have a tacit understanding, you know in your heart that the old man will not let you go." Didn't you kill Wu Chunlai without even thinking about it? Why be pretentious. ”

Lin Jue said: "Huh? Do you know that Wu Chunlai is dead? How do you know? ”

Lu Zhongtian sneered and did not speak. Lin Jue rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed: "You shouldn't have drunk that well water." Oops, that's pretty damn. ”

Lu Zhongtian felt a gagging feeling in his heart, and sneered silently. Lin Jue was even more convinced of his guess, and laughed: "It seems to be true, otherwise how would you find out the fact that he is dead?" He fell into the well and died. Hey, it's all my fault, I should have filled the well, but I'm afraid that people will say that I fell into the well. You didn't really drink the water from the well? I can tell you that Wu Chunlai must have been a man of feces and urine before he died, and there was his feces and urine in the well water. And after such a long time, the corpse must have rotted, and the corpse water seeped into the water. Can you still drink the well water? Oops, I wonder what it tastes like? Hahaha. ”

Lin Jue used the topic to play and ridiculed to his heart's content. Lu Zhongtian was disgusted in his heart, his anger rose, and he shouted: "Little thief, if you fall into the hands of the old man, your tongue will be hooked out, and your eyes will be gouged out, so that you can't survive and die." ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "It's still the same sentence, then you have to be able to catch me, right?" Tens of thousands of troops were beaten to pieces by my hundreds of people, and you were embarrassed to say that you wanted to catch me. ”

Zhao Degang on the side blushed and couldn't help but shout: "That's your tricky, if you really fight, your little person would have been finished a long time ago." ”

Lin Jue snorted and scolded: "Bah, you are still a leading general, I know you, aren't you the deputy commander of the guard horse army?" You've also led the army for many years, don't you read military books? Soldiers are treacherous, don't you understand the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit? The two armies have tried their best to win the battle, and if they lose, they will be defeated, but you can't make a point? How to write the word shame? ”

Zhao Degang was speechless and had no words to answer.

Lin Jue laughed again: "You look very unconvinced, Lin is not convinced." You say I'm a trick, and I don't want to debate it with you. Believe it or not, even if we confront your men and horses head-on, you will be defeated. ”

Zhao Degang shouted: "You brag too much, fight in a dignified manner, my cavalry will trample you into powder." ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "It's useless to say more, or let's fight, I don't need to plan, and you don't toss the people's houses, let's fight head-on on this long street, who wins and who loses, it's clear at a glance." ”

Zhao Degang was overjoyed, and said: "You said it, don't regret it." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Manly man, a mouthful of foam and a nail." Is it still a man? ”

Zhao Degang nodded, turned to Lu Zhongtian and bowed and said, "Lu Xiang, please allow the lowly to fight them head-on." Lu Xiang, please order. ”

Lu Zhongtian felt incredible when he listened, he felt that Lin Jue was too much, this was too inflated. He is naturally superior in intrigue and trickery, but if he is a head-on enemy, he will be defeated. How can a few hundred people compete with tens of thousands of soldiers? Even if these tens of thousands of people stand and kill them, they will be tired to death.

Lu Zhongtian suspected that there was something greasy here.

"Commander Zhao, this guy knows that he is invincible but wants to engage in battle, and the old man suspects that there is fraud in it." Lu Zhongtian groaned.

Zhao Degang said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang, we don't dare to fight with it in this situation, how can we have a foothold in my Praetorian Guard Horse Army?" When I turn around, Yang Shumi will definitely cut off my head, and I will have no shame in the court from now on. Besides, this may be because Lin Jue is too arrogant, and he can use this to capture them, which is also an opportunity. ”

Lu Zhongtian pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, the old man can understand your mood at the moment, if you are not allowed to fight today, you will regret it." Today, you can't vent the anger in your heart, the old man wants to stop it, and you are afraid that even the old man will hate him. In this way, the old man wishes you success and defeats them in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Degang bowed down and said: "Thank you Lu Xiangcheng, please Lu Xiang step back, and prepare for the humble position." ”

All the 'demolition' was suspended, and Zhao De just began to make pre-war preparations. In view of the limited terrain, Zhao Degang believed that the number of people attacking should not be too large, and it was best to have three or four thousand people. Or according to the traditional tactic of dividing into several teams to charge, a wave is not flattened, a wave is reborn, and the continuous impact on the opposite side will definitely defeat one of them.

Of course, after the previous lesson, Zhao Degang also realized that the other party was by no means a good type, and if he had the heart of despising the enemy, he would definitely suffer. After a brief discussion, he listened to the advice of more than a dozen of his own generals, borrowed individual shields from the infantry shields, and the cavalry participating in the battle had a shield in their hands to resist the opponent's repeater attacks. At the same time, Zhao Degang made a pre-war mobilization and told everyone that today's battle is related to whether the Ma Junsi can gain a foothold in the future. The other side only has five or six hundred people, and if he loses this battle, he will inevitably be ridiculed for the rest of his life in the future. The honor of the Ma army cannot be tarnished, so anyone who dares to escape in a cowardly fight will be severely punished. Zhao Degang also made a promise, but if he killed one enemy, he would be promoted to the first rank and rewarded with fifty silver. Those who capture or kill Lin Jue will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted to the third rank.

On the opposite street, Lin Jue and the others also seemed to be nervously preparing. People and horses come and go, and they are obviously quite nervous. The other party also dragged out more than a dozen large carts to cross the road, as if they were to be used for fortifications. This move was exactly what Zhao Degang expected. The other party is so little soldiered, obviously he doesn't dare to hedge against himself. If the other party wants to defend, the initiative is in their own hands. It is basically impossible to defend against the charge of the cavalry. It seems that although Lin Jue is scheming, he is not omnipotent. This kind of engagement, in Zhao Degang's view, is better than defending, it is better to charge. That's the correct way to think about warfare. Of course, Zhao Degang would not be stupid enough to remind the other party.

Both sides were ready, Zhao Degang added one hundred and twenty points of caution this time, and before launching an attack, he sent dozens of cavalry to explore and observe step by step along the streets. Although Lin Jue swore by it, who could guarantee that there were no other traps and traps on this seemingly spacious path? Zhao Degang had to be doubly careful.

The people on Lin Jue's side did not attack these cavalry, but let them search twenty steps away, and everyone looked at them coldly, without any attack. As a result of the exploration, the road was flat, with no tripping ropes, no pits, and no sprinkled with thistles and other things that hurt the horses' hooves. Zhao Degang received this reward, and his heart was even more settled.
