Chapter 952: Self-inflicted

Lu Zhen didn't rush to the barracks later because he was worried that Lin Lie would make any mistakes in this battle, because when it came to using soldiers, he was much worse than Lin Lie, so naturally he was not qualified to teach him. He was worried that Lin Lie would not be able to take this opportunity to overpower Shi Qingyan and Liu Daorong, especially the latter, after all, he was a prisoner, which was not something that Lin Lie could easily deal with.

However, after hearing such a report, Lu Zhen was impressed by Lin Lie, and he didn't expect that he could still take advantage of the situation and use a trick to stop Liu Daorong outside the camp after he took it away, so it was naturally much easier to deal with Shi Qingyan alone.

Shi Qingyan also obviously thought of this, in the face of Lin Lie's tough response, he was really a little shocked, but he couldn't come up with a way for a while, so he could only stand there with a red face and panting, his eyes constantly swept back and forth on Lin Lu's body, as if he wanted to see their thoughts.

Lu Zhen had already returned to his original appearance at this time, so he proposed: "General Lin Bing, now that the great enemy is coming, it is not a matter to always stay in this command post, let's go to the city first." ”

"That's what my lord said." Lin Lie also had such a plan, but it was only delayed for a while because of Liu Daorong's trouble, and he immediately turned around and walked out.

Lu Zhen also took a step, and then glanced at Shi Qingyan, who was still standing there: "General Shi will also go to the city with us to have a look." After all, you have been in Jizhou City for many years, and you know more about the terrain inside and outside than we know. ”

Shi Qingyan originally planned to take advantage of Lin Lie's heading to the city to check the enemy's situation, and he personally rushed to Yuanmen to bring Liu Daorong in. He believed that with his prestige in the army, as long as the people arrived, they would not dare to obstruct those ordinary soldiers. didn't expect Lu Zhen to make such an invitation as if he had seen through his thoughts.

And Lin Lie has always looked at Lu Jin's horse, and immediately followed: "Yes, General Shi, you can also go to the city with me." At the end, he added: "This is a military order." ”

Yes, it was impossible for Shi Qingyan to refuse, so he could only respond with a gloomy face, and walked out of the command post behind Lu Jin, followed the road in the barracks to the north city wall, and then went up the city along the rather old stone steps.

As one of the four major frontier towns guarding the capital, the scale of the city is naturally huge. The circumference of its four cities is seventy miles, and the height is close to ten zhang, and when you look down from the head of the city, you can almost see all the areas in front of you for twenty or thirty miles. Now there are two airships hanging twenty or thirty feet above the city, and they can see all the movements of the invading enemy.

The three of them, accompanied by a group of sergeants, soon came to the watchtower and looked at the grassland in front of them from a distance. Sure enough, I saw that more than thirty miles away, a large army with black pressure was slowly squirming in the direction of Jizhou. Even if it is far away and it is not real, the momentum brought by the march of the army still makes many people moved.

Lin Lie also quickly frowned: "The previous wolf smoke rose nearly an hour ago, and it should have come from Fort Juhu, which is still more than fifty miles away from my Jizhou. And in the past hour, these Tartars have only driven less than twenty miles, but they are cavalry, and this speed is really too slow. ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that they plan to disturb our army's heart first, and then rely on slow progress all the way to recuperate, and only launch a sudden attack when they come to the city of Jizhou." Lu Zhen also said with some concern: "These Tartars are much more cautious and mature than before in the use of soldiers. ”

"Heh......" Listening to the two of them talking so worriedly, Shi Qingyan couldn't help but sneer: "Why do the two adults want to be so angry and destroy the prestige of our army? Even if they came suddenly, the last general thought that with the well-trained soldiers of Jizhou, they would be able to easily defeat the enemy. ”

"Oh? General Shi said that he had a strategy to deal with the enemy? Lu Zhen was not angry, but asked him with a smile.

"I don't dare to say how to break the enemy, but with their slow march, it was enough to prepare my defenders. We can even send an elite army to ambush on the hill outside the city, and as soon as the Tartars arrive, they will immediately attack and attack, and we will definitely be able to win something! Shi Qingyan said, and his finger nodded a little in the direction of the small undulating hills outside the city.

Lin Lie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he shook his head secretly. If you were fighting an ordinary enemy, it would have been a good way to come out on top, but now you're facing the Mongol cavalry, which is different.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry has always been known for its mobility and flexibility, and even if it is suddenly attacked, it can make corresponding counterattacks in a very short time. Moreover, the fact that the Mongols were able to change their previous violent and rapid march slowly this time means that their lord will be cautious and like to fight steadily. Now that you are in Jizhou City, how can you not take precautions?

Maybe sending the army out of the city will only cost them their lives in vain, and only boost the morale of the Mongols.

Lu Zhen didn't think about it so much, but he saw that Lin Lie had some doubts, so he guessed that this method was not so feasible, so he made a look at him, and the two avoided Shi Qingyan and walked to the side to communicate a little.

Then, Lu Zhen came back and said, "General Shi, I'm afraid your strategy won't work." ”

"How could it not be? The time and place are all here for our army, and as long as we are united, there is no possibility of failure. Shi Qingyan immediately glared at him and said. In his opinion, although Lu Jin's status is extremely high, it is not worth mentioning at all in terms of the way of using soldiers. He dared to question his own clever plan, it was really unreasonable!

"The problem lies in the hearts of the military. General Shi, you have also seen, this war has not yet started, some of my Jizhou defenders are already panicking, and now send a group of men and horses out of the city to meet the enemy, if there is no available general, it is simply to let these soldiers send sheep into the tiger's mouth. ”

"This ......" Shi Qingyan really thought deeply when he heard it: "It's really a problem, but how to solve it?" ”

Lu Zhen took the opportunity to glance at Lin Lie and gave him a look. The latter hesitated.

Just now, Lu Zhen just wanted to push this life-and-death errand on Shi Qingyan himself, and let him take a soldier and horse out of the city to set up an ambush. Although Lin Lie knew very well that in this way, he might be able to get rid of this opponent with the help of the Mengren, but he was pure by nature, but he really couldn't use such a conspiracy.

But then, he thought of the brothers who were framed and killed by Shi Qingyan and Liu Daorong and others, and thought of the terrible situation where he was almost unjustly killed before, and his heart hardened: "My lord, what he said is good, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and conspiracy for those who like to use conspirators." ”

With the idea set, his gaze became cold, and then stared at Shi Qingyan's face. Shi Qingyan, who was in a daze, suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, only to feel that he had been targeted by a hungry wolf, and subconsciously looked back.

At this time, Lin Lie had already spoken: "I think that among the many generals in Jizhou City, General Shushi, you are the best at fighting, and you have won the hearts of soldiers." In this way, since you came up with this idea, it is up to you to lead 3,000 elites to lie outside the city and kill the Tartars by surprise! ”

"This ...... The last general ......" Shi Qingyan was suddenly a little panicked, don't look at his usual heroic behavior, but in fact, he was extremely desperate for his life, such a way to leave the shelter of the city and kill outside, and to confront the murderous Mongolian people, this is really not something he can accept, so he immediately thought about refusing this order.

But before he could speak, Lin Lie had already shouted loudly: "Pass my military order, quickly order Shi Qingyan's personal soldiers and his subordinate troops to 3,000, and send them out of the city to test first." As he spoke, he solemnly looked at the other party who was already stunned: "General Shi, this is a military order, and the general is waiting for your good news here!" ”

Many people in the city had already heard about this, and many of them were surprised. In fact, everyone knows what kind of goods Shi Qingyan is, this person is indeed a good hand at beating horses, and he also has some insight in commanding and using troops, but if he talks about leading troops into battle, he is not his strength, and he does not have the courage.

But now, Mr. Lin actually assigned him to take a group of men and horses out of the city to meet the Tartars, which was really too unexpected for everyone. If he really went, would he be able to come back alive? Many people's hearts have begun to turn around, and it seems that Mr. Lin is the opponent who attacked him before taking revenge.

Shi Qingyan regretted it in his heart, what did he do by making such a suggestion, didn't he shoot himself in the foot? Once this errand is taken, eighty percent of them will die outside. Even if he can escape the pursuit of the Mengren, I am afraid that the contradiction between Lin Lie and himself will secretly kill him.

So I must not deal with it! Shi Qingyan immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Commander, please forgive your sins, I'm afraid that the last general doesn't have the ability." "At this point, it's all about saving your life, and nothing else matters.

Lin Lie didn't expect the other party to suddenly come to such a hand, and he was stunned suddenly, but then his face sank again: "The military order is like a mountain, how can it be changed at will?" General Shi, if you refuse to obey the order, this officer will have to engage in military justice for you, kill you, and sacrifice the flag with your head. ”

Hearing these words, Shi Qingyan became more and more frightened. At this time, he knew that he had no choice, and there might be a glimmer of life in leading his troops out of the city to fight, but if he refused to go, it would be to give someone a handle so that Lin Lie could kill him justifiably.

What's even more unfavorable is that at this time, Liu Daorong, the only ally who can save him, is not here, which makes Shi Qingyan completely out of line. After a long time, he turned his heart sideways, hugged his fists and said: "In this case, the last general will receive the order!" ”
