The reason why Luo Bai and Huo Zong were not satisfied with their position was, in the final analysis, a struggle for merit.

Since ancient times, there is no first martial arts and no second, and what they are fighting for is this first merit.

Now that the problem is solved, Huo Zong left satisfied.

Luo Bai stood in place, looking at Nan Qiyun and the two, not knowing what would happen to them.

Yan Zhen looked at the two of them, bowed his head and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nan Qiyun didn't want to wait any longer, threw off Sheng Shige's sleeves, and turned to leave.

"You wait a minute."

Yan Zhen spoke.

"Your captain is very powerful?"

Nan Qiyun said: "When he was assessing, he rode a horse and once surpassed the adult in charge of selection. ”

Needless to say, just this one sentence will tell the story.

"I see, I'll ask the general. If you believe me, stay here and wait for me for a day, and I will answer you tomorrow. ”

Nan Qiyun really stopped: "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Yan Zhen nodded and said, "Even if I don't arrive, I will tell you the truth." ”

Sheng Shige said with a smile: "With Captain Wu's words, we are also at ease." To be honest, we should have all been eliminated at that time, but our Wu Changshengsheng grabbed the adult and let the two of us pass the test. We are ashamed that such people do not come. ”

Yan Zhen nodded, and then said with a smile: "Let's start, this morning to train riding, and in the afternoon the commander will come to explain to us the main tasks and precautions of each team." ”

The imperial court stipulated that no one was allowed to give them a trick in this confrontation, that is, no one could interfere in strategy, and they could only help by improving the personal strength of these people.

This may be the only thing the general can do to help them.

When leaving, Luo Bai called Sheng Shige: "Brother Shengshi, you are all spies, and there is a lot of help behind you." ”

Sheng Shige smiled: "Definitely." ”

When they really led their horses and prepared to run, they found that the so-called mountain fifty miles away was a small mound.

The mound is more than 20 zhang high, and the east, west, north and south are all 100 zhang, how do you let people guard this?

Not only them, but even the people who arrived early were depressed.

The effectiveness of the defense lies in the placement of appropriate and sufficient troops in a limited space. If the place is too big, there will be a shortage of troops. If the place is too small, it will be crowded and cause a waste of troops.

This hill is also the place where the slap is pointed, there is no danger to defend, and there is not even a place to hide, how can this be guarded?

Everyone stayed here, as if they were saying that it was impossible.

Luo Bai didn't get off the horse, and there were too many reasons why he couldn't hold on, so he didn't have to think about it again.

He pinched the horse's belly, shouted "Drive", and walked forward.

The mound was indeed not high, and it was overgrown with weeds a foot or two high. Although the weeds are now withered and hanging down, they are also a foot high, almost reaching the calf.

The terrain of the mound is gentle, and you can come up on horseback.

Even a cavalry charge will not slow down much.

Moreover, according to the current military bow and arrow power, they don't need to charge, use the team to surround this place, and they can achieve full coverage with bows and arrows, leaving no dead ends!

He rode his horse and continued southwest.

Southwest, due south, then west, north, and finally back to east.

It is slightly narrow from north to south, with 120 zhang. The east and west are slightly wider, and there are 140 zhang.

In the position of the four sides, except for the east side, which is slightly gentle, the remaining three sides are relatively steep, which is not suitable for cavalry charges. But it is precisely because of this that the highest part of the mound is farthest to the east, near the northwest.

Looking around, Luo Bai could only get this information now.

"Brother Lu, why don't you say a word?"

Changyang Mingyue and Zhang Shiqi have already come over.

In the previous selection, Lu Ling's performance was so amazing that the two of them couldn't help but want to ask him what he thought.

Luo Bai said: "What to say?" Say we can't hold on? They are all talking about the possibilities that are impossible to hold, and they are so comprehensive that I don't need to add them. ”

Changyang Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Brother Lu, you know that I don't mean that. ”

Zhang Shiqi also said: "Yes, Brother Lu, when you come here, you just want to win, otherwise what will you do desperately?" If you have any ideas, let me know. ”

Luo Bai pointed to the eastern mound in front of him and said, "I just turned around and found that if you launch an attack, this place is suitable. But attacking from here, the distance from the highest point is the farthest. ”

Luo Bai recounted the useful information he had received, and rode his horse up the mountain.

"From here to the highest point, I have seen seventy or eighty feet. From here, it's barely out of the reach of the archers. But don't forget, archers can shoot in the northwest, where it's not safe. ”

Zhang Shiqi and the two followed Luo Bai to the mountain, looked at the withered grass on the ground, and said with a smile: "You can raise horses and sheep here, the grass is so high when it is withered, I'm afraid it will reach your knees when it's green." ”

Luo Bai paused, then dismounted from his horse and led his horse up on foot.

This small mound is indeed not high, and it is very simple, except that there is a prominent position in the north-west direction that is considered a "peak", and there is a half-high mound in the southwest position.

These are the only two highlands on the entire hillside.

After reading the above, Luo Bai couldn't help sighing: "How to fight in such a defensive environment?" ”

Zhang Shiqi also smiled bitterly: "It's such a broken place, even if we start building fortifications now, it's too late." It is almost impossible to resist the offensive of nearly 10,000 people in such a place in four days! ”

Changyang Mingyue said eagerly: "That means that we will definitely lose?" ”

Luo Bai shook his head and said: "There is a way to crack any game, but I didn't expect it." ”

He threw the reins of his horse to Zhang Shiqi and walked to the west of the mound.

The west side is very steep, with a drop of nearly two zhang when it lands, and then it begins to gently extend eastward.

However, the two-zhang high mound of earth could not be rushed up by cavalry, and could only rely on infantry.

And from here to the northwest of the highlands, the more forty zhang, the southwest is about the same.

There is also a distance of 40 zhang between the two high grounds, which seems to be barely a corner.

On these two heights, a small number of archers can be placed to defend the west, southwest and northwest.

Now the trouble is to the east, with an unobstructed view, which is too difficult to defend.

"Let's go to the east and see if we can find a position to cover the strategy."

Walking from west to east, it was downhill, and the three of them soon came to the east.

When he got here, he found that on the north side of the gentle ground due east, there was a section of the mound that had not been flattened as directly as it was, but was more than a foot high. Behind is a groove that can hide the next six or seven people.

He had just looked around below, and the reason why he couldn't get off this prominent place was because there was dead grass growing here, and it gave the impression that it was five or six feet taller.

When I looked closely, I realized that this was not the case at all.

This section is two feet long and is a thick mound of earth.

On the left is the dead grass, and when you step on it with your foot, you will fall straight into it.

On the right is a gentle slope suitable for cavalry raids.

After a general look at the place, he walked into the groove and sank into it—it was a cave!

Changyang Mingyue and the others hurriedly pulled him up and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Luo Bai smiled: "It's okay, I was just shocked, I didn't expect it to be so deep." ”

Zhang Shiqi nodded and said, "It's really deeper." ”

Luo Bai wanted to say more, but there was a sound of gathering in the distance, and the three of them rode down the mountain.
