A war actually takes a long time to prepare, but the outbreak is inadvertent.

When Niu Er was eager to make meritorious contributions and shot the official and civilian official who was held by the stars like the moon by the stars, he only knew at that time that the civil official was bigger than the county official, and his reward would be very rich, and he didn't know anything else, so he ran comfortably and safely.

However, for the children of the Zhang family, who are responsible for protecting Qian Tong's Chinese army, they have all fallen into the abyss, for no other reason, Qian Tong has been tightly tied to the carriage of the Zhang family, and has shared weal and woe with the Zhang family, and can no longer be separated. The existence of Qian Tong not only has a kind of backing for the Zhang family on three sides and in the Shaanxi officialdom, but also because of Qian Tong and the master group he represents, the Zhang family has an inextricable connection with the government and the imperial court.

And Qian Tong died, more than 30 arrows in his body, especially the giant arrows issued by more than a dozen Lu longbows in his body, they were not wasted, and they all hit the target, so that Qian Tong, who was wide-eyed, completely felt the power of Lu's longbow - empathy, this sentence, only Qian Zhongjun hid it in his heart, because, no matter how high his literary talent is, he can't describe the feeling at that time.

Qian Tong died, and the fifty Zhang family disciples who were responsible for protecting him were only three or five killed or wounded, but the way back left for them was only one death, nothing else.

Since the same death, instead of returning to the camp in embarrassment to be executed by military law, and affecting his wife and children, or becoming a prostitute, or becoming a homeless beggar, it is better to kill and cross the river and win a posthumous pension, even if the pension is pitiful, even if the pension can only allow the wife and children and parents to live for a short time, it is also a profit.

So, more than forty brothers who thought the same in their hearts glanced at each other, nodded slightly, resolutely pulled out their waist knives, shouted, knocked the horse's belly, and resolutely jumped over the frozen one, which had lost the meaning of the moat, but the boundary river that everyone acquiesced to, killed to the boundary of the army, so on the ground, a big war related to the whole of Shaanxi, really started.

When the forty-three Zhang brothers rushed through the boundary river between the army and the official army in a decisive mood, facing Guo Tianxing and his brother rushed over, an absolutely asymmetrical battle unfolded in an instant. Of course, there is no suspense in this battle, in front of the battle-hardened brothers such as Guo Tianxing, no matter how strong the forty-odd Zhang family children are, they are just a gust of wind, sweeping the earth like inadvertently.

It had already been slaughtered, and it was really a small appetizer that stirred up the blood of Guo Tianxing, and he shouted loudly at a small outpost camp of the official army on the opposite side of the Wei River: "Brothers, rush with me-"

On the other side, it is just a small preface warning camp of officers and soldiers on the other side of the Wei River, but it is this necklace-like fortress that forms the cordon along the river, and at the same time, everyone is also under this cordon, keeping a kind of security, a kind of silence, of course, everyone knows that this silence is nothing but a kind of silence and balance in front of a powder keg.

The small patrol fort of the first officer army collapsed under the sudden attack of the two thousand brothers of the Heavenly Star.

The officers and soldiers were frightened, and the other small villages closed the doors of the village to guard strictly, but Guo Tianxing was still unsatisfied, and shouted to the brothers who followed him on the war horse, "Brothers, let's let the brothers of the army see, we are not an afterthought, we are a strong army, we are the absolute strength of the army, kill——" said, with a bloody body, holding a saber high, and killing another small village of officers and soldiers next to him-

The first small village was breached, and the second line of the official army outpost Xiaozhai had been alarmed, and the gongs of the alarm sounded loudly, followed by the drums of the battle, which continued to spread from near and far, until it reached the ears of Du Wenhuan, who was discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Shi, who was discussing the current enemy situation with Wu Tao, Zhao Xing, Chen Che and others in the big tent, was alarmed by the bursts of golden drums on the other side of the Wei River, and asked Zhao Xing who was following him in surprise: "What?" Is the official army attacking? ”

Zhao Xing was responsible for the covering of the entire battlefield, but it was true that the number of supervisors was limited, and the places that needed to be taken care of were too right, not to mention, as the commander of the first army, Lu Shi couldn't bear to let the prison sergeants he had worked so hard to train suffer losses in this kind of patrol battle between the two sides, so he resolutely withdrew most of the prison sergeants, and only let a prison sergeant take a small group of cavalry to the battlefield.

However, at this time, listening to the golden drum that was getting tighter and tighter outside, Lu Shi frowned, and said without worry: "It's still not good, it's like a mountain across the line." Shaking his head helplessly, he said to Zhao Xing: "Tomorrow, let's send more prison sergeant brothers." ”

Zhao Xing respectfully obeyed the order, turned around and went out to arrange, and Lu Shi continued to bury his head in the middle of the map, discussing the enemy situation with Wu Tao in a low voice.

"Newspaper - Qi Yu Chuang Wang." A sergeant brother rushed into the big tent, ignoring the generals and colonels crowded in the big tent, and reported loudly: "King Qiyu Chuang, just now, one of our deputy military commanders, Niu Er, shot and killed a civilian official on the other side when he was patrolling the enemy situation on the bank of the Wei River. ”

Regarding this news, Lu Shi almost didn't take it to heart, "Let Brother Geng Kui deal with these things." Then he still lowered his head and carefully studied the map, and Wu Tao carefully exchanged his thoughts.

When Geng Kui heard this, he hurriedly gave Lu Shi a salute and left quickly, dealing with some large cross-border patrols, which was also normal.

Picking up the missing and filling in the gaps, this is what a military advisor should do, since taking over this military division, Wu Tao has not slackened for a moment, and has been carefully studying the current situation with Lu Shi.

"King Chuang, you see that the formation of the official army is quite tight now, and it seems impossible to use some tactics to break the enemy." Facing the situation map of the enemy and us, Wu Tao shook his head helplessly.

Lu Shi hugged his arms and looked at the map hanging on the table helplessly.

Now, looking at the formation arrangement of the officers and troops, the large battalions are close together, and ten small joint battalions have been established on the periphery, but they are not far apart, and it is exactly half a day's rescue and support distance, and one has been attacked. As long as the enemy battalion is at a close standstill, the enemy battalion will not only get an early warning, but also decide to stop the attack, or rescue, or simply use those small villages to consume the physical strength and morale of the invading army, and then give themselves a look when they are exhausted. Such a troop formation is simply a turtle shell, and it is simply an iron scale, so that there is simply no other way for him to shake it one by one with a strong army. And to storm the other party's deep trenches Gao Lei's camps, it will cost the lives of many brothers, although he is anxious to solve the battle in front of him in order to deal with Li Zicheng behind him, but he has to pay a heavy price, and Lu Shi can't bear it anyway.

"It seems that the other party has a famous general." Lu Shi commented with a wry smile, turned around, and moved his body, which had become stiff after looking at the map for a long time.

"For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, although the army was rotten, the war with the barbarians in the south, the Japanese in the coast, the Mongolia in the north, and the Jurchens in the northeast has never subsided, so that a batch of famous generals has been trained, and I don't know whether the continuous war is a good thing or a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty." Wu Tao followed Lu Shi's train of thought.

"Yes, a generation of real Han people who never get along, never compromise, and the Son of Heaven guards the country, is still worthy of our pride, although he has entered his twilight years, although he is irretrievable." Lu Shi sincerely expressed his praise to Wu Tao for the last dynasty of the Han nation.

"Especially the commander-in-chief Du Wenhuan on the other side, he has participated in almost all the wars in the north and south during the Ming Dynasty, and he is deeply trained, or he will not stay in Shaanxi to sit in the town, one to guard against the invasion of the Tartars in the north and take advantage of the fire to rob, and the most important thing is to guard against us."

"yes." Wu Tao lifted the teapot on the honeycomb coal stove and refilled Lu Shi's empty bowl with hot water, Lu Shi nodded in gratitude, took a sip of the bowl, a warmth flowed all over his body, put down the bowl and said: "This Du Wenhuan saw their own crux, although they urgently needed a decisive battle, but they knew their own details, the new army was just formed, and they needed to run in and train, after all, a few full meals could not improve their physical fitness in a short time, and they could become a qualified soldier by stuffing them with a knife and gun." Wu Tao commented with a wry smile.

"It's really lucky to have such a famous player." Lu Shi sighed, this really gave him a headache. Rubbing his temples, he said: "However, since the decisive battle must be fast, we should definitely not let the officers and soldiers have time to turn these homeless men into soldiers, it will not be good for us." That being said, but in the face of the turtle shell that Du Wenhuan posed, the iron scale was at a loss for a while.

"In my opinion, we can only wait patiently for the officers and soldiers to make mistakes." Lu Shi raised his head and looked left and right, "Huh? Why is it so stopping? Didn't you see that uncomfortable commander who was idle? ”

Yes, Wu Tao also suddenly felt that the Grand Commander was not there, if in the past, the Grand Commander would definitely have been in and out many times to ask for battle, but today he didn't see him, which was indeed too surprising to the two.

Wang Jian saw Lu Shiwen and hurriedly reported: "The commander came to the big tent early in the morning and took a turn, and when he saw that the teacher and the military advisor were still thinking about the map, he muttered a few words, and then took the cavalry out of the camp to pick up the patrol brothers who went out at night. ”

Hearing Wang Jian say this, Lu Shi didn't care about it, and straightened up his table and stopped saying anything. Wu Tao asked: "How many men did the Great Commander take out?" ”

While helping Lu Shi tidy up the things on the table, San Lang replied casually: "When the Great Commander left, he took all the men and horses out, saying that while picking up those brothers who went out to patrol last night, he also took advantage of this good weather to take the brothers to train. ”

"How is it all?" Wu Tao stopped, frowned and muttered in a low voice, feeling apprehensive.

The Grand Commander is an absolute idle lord, especially when the enemy is now, maybe he can do something to disrupt the current deployment.

"King Chuang."

"What's the matter?" Lu Shi continued his work without raising his head.

"The Grand Commander has gone out with all his men." Seeing that Lu Shi didn't react, he continued to worry and said, "Don't do anything, I'll go and see?" ”

"What can there be." Lu Shi finished cleaning up his table, stood up and said with a smile: "But our great commander does like to get into trouble, don't really get us something, then work hard Brother Wu, and by the way, look at the results of the brothers' training." ”

"Obey the king's orders, and I'll go now." Wu Tao bowed to Lu Shi lightly and was about to go out.

At this time, Zhao Xing suddenly ran into the big tent, and he didn't care about Shi Li and reported loudly to Lu Shi and Wu Tao: "It's not good, the commander took the cavalry to chase and kill the officers and soldiers who crossed the river and provoked, and at this time he killed the Wei River——"

The news brought by Zhao Xing immediately shocked Lu Shi, Wu Tao and others.
