Chapter 18: The Bloody Battle of Liaoqiu
Liaoqiu, this place is located in Yancheng, Lanhe Valley, Yuanzhen first-line boundary, and mountainous landform, those barbarians whether they go east to Dongzhou, south to Yancheng Neijing, or west to Hexi, must pass through here, Geng Liao's seemingly risky way of marching and camping has brought great obstacles to the barbarians, and even slowed down the plundering of Yancheng and other places by the head of the golden family to some extent.

In the camp, Lin Xiu and these soldiers were building defense facilities under the leadership of each team Dubo, although the brute horses came and went without a trace, but it was only limited to the wilderness plains, here in Liaoqiu, they could not exert too much mobility, so it also made the Xiaowu Emperor relieve some breath.
"Brother Xiu, drink saliva and slow down!"
After Lin Huaiping brought water from the low-lying canal, he distributed the water bag to the brothers in the tent, Lin Xiu took the water bag, took a sip of the cow, wiped his mouth, at this moment to the afternoon, the sky was a little dark, when Lin Xiu looked up at the distance at will, he suddenly noticed something, after thinking about it, Lin Xiu turned around and climbed the crooked neck tree behind him, stood on the trunk and raised his eyes to look into the distance, outside the Liaoqiu, what is the boundless wilderness, except for the fog, but the Lanhe Valley in the east looks a little weird.
Here, a tent of soldiers was working hard, and a rude call came out.
"Damn, this bullshit Lao Tzu's land can't be dug at all, it's so fucking tiring!"
Li Hu threw the hoe aside irritably, and then rested under the trunk of the tree, Zhao Yuan saw it, and scolded loudly: "You have a lot of fucking business, hurry up and work, otherwise the prison soldiers will see it and give you tight skin!" ”
"What do you mean by Lao Tzu having a lot of things!" Li Hu was not convinced, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't wait for the good Yancheng camp, run to this bullshit place to build a camp, if those barbarians surround the way out, we will all have to be trapped here!" ”
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Li Hu's words immediately attracted the scolding of the brother next to him: "The army advances with its own general, what kind of nonsense do you have to talk nonsense, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will smash your mouth!" ”
It's just that in the words of everyone, Lin Xiu, who was looking at the direction of the Lan River Valley, chuckled again in his heart, and he immediately got down from the crooked neck tree and ran to the hillside not far away, where the camp of the crossbow team was located, and his vision was wider and he could see farther.
Coming to the hillside, Lin Xiu looked around, in the direction of the Lanhe Valley in the east of Liaoqiu, there were two opposite slopes, although it was relatively gentle, but from a distance, it was like two stone piers entering the boundary of Yuanzhen.
Looking at such a realm, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Xiu's mind, and he immediately understood what the strange feeling in his heart was, and then he ran towards the camp tent of his team.
Dubo's bearded man was leading his own soldiers to place the horse rejection pile, and when he saw Lin Xiu running, the bearded man glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Rabbit cub, are you done with the work in your account?" ”
"My lord, the villain suddenly thought of something and wanted to meet the general!"
"Hahaha!" The bearded soldiers immediately laughed, and a man with a mustache whisked his spear at Lin Xiu, and said: "You are a soldier cub who wants to see the general, I see that you have itchy skin, and you are uncomfortable when you have nothing to do, hurry back to work!" ”
The bearded man also drank in a deep voice: "Hurry up, don't let the whip of the master be thrown on you, only then do you know how to write the painful words!" ”
In the face of dramatic abuse, although Lin Xiu was angry, he was helpless, what the bearded man said was right, what ability did he have as a soldier worthy of being summoned by the general?
Back at the camp, Zhao Yuan had already led everyone to finish the work, looking at Lin Xiu's appearance, Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice: "Ah Xiu, what's wrong?" ”
"There's a big omission in camping here!"
Lin Xiu whispered worriedly: "The terrain of Liaoqiu is not suitable for brute cavalry to launch an offensive, but in the same way, we can't give full play to the advantages of numbers and military formations, just now I noticed that in the Lanhe Valley five or six miles east of Liaoqiu, there are two horned slopes, if the three places are connected, they can form a huge iron triangle, even if one is surrounded, the other two can also play a role in diversion, but at the moment we are alone, in case those brute cavalry besiege us here, in the absence of reinforcements, Tens of thousands of people of Emperor Xiaowu will be trapped alive on this Liaoqiu! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan only felt a big chill in his heart, but after thinking about it, Zhao Yuan became calm, he raised his hand and patted Lin Xiu's shoulder: "Ah Xiu, I see that your heart is too heavy, since you have embarked on military service, the brothers have to work together to fight for a future, as for the marching strategy, there are generals to worry about, and it is not our turn to plan, if you really want to think about the brothers with your own ability, you can throw away the distractions in your heart and climb to that position with your strength, what do you say at that time, what do I wait for the brothers to do, it is better than you being suspicious here, Worried! ”
Although Zhao Yuan was usually silent, his words invisibly touched Lin Xiu's heart, and at this point, Lin Xiu raised his eyes to look at the Nalan River Valley, as if the two Shidunmen-like slopes were like two arms, beckoning to him!
"How so? The Hexi army didn't save it when it saw death? ”
In the military tent of Xiaowu Emperor, Geng Liao looked at the urgent report sent by the army of Xiaowu Emperor, and immediately trembled in shock, and said that a few days ago, Xiaowu Emperor's army marched to Yancheng from the Hexi region, but encountered a barbarian cavalry attack on the road, and the whole army was defeated, more than 50,000 Xiaowu Emperor soldiers only escaped more than 20,000 people, and the Hexi army marching towards Yancheng was safe and sound, and even turned a blind eye to the Xiaowu Emperor who was close at hand. King Qin shouldn't have anything to do with those barbarians.
"General, it seems that it is a mistake for us to march so far!"
Gu Kaizhi, who joined the army, immediately said bluntly to Geng Liao, Geng Liao threw the emergency report on the low case, got up and paced, and under the trouble of gloomy clouds, the wrinkles on his face became even deeper.
"Wrong? What's wrong? Let's take it into detail! ”
Gu Kaizhi arched his hand and said: "General, you think, the Liaoyuan army is different, the turtle shrinks the scope of Yuan Town, and even Weng City is broken, as for the Hexi Army, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has taken the light feather battalion to garrison Yandong Sentry Town, which seems to be for Yancheng to resist the attack of the barbarian cavalry, but if other circumstances occur, the King of Qin can retreat west with the light feather battalion, so Yancheng is like a house that has lost the iron gate, allowing the barbarians to enter, and we delay time here, it is useless, after all, we are mostly foot soldiers, how to catch up with the barbarians?" If Yancheng is also broken, the King of Qin retreats to Hexi, and the Liaoyuan army continues to garrison Yuanzhen, then our three armies of Emperor Xiaowu will become a lone army within hundreds of miles of Liaoqiu, what will be the result at that time, the last general can guess without saying that the general..."
