That captain of the Royal Forest is none other than Iron Eagle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that he also picked up a bamboo whip and pointed to the map: "The bright yellow logo represents the Imperial Forest Army, the bronze logo represents the Iron Armor Army, the orange represents the Shenwu Army, the purple represents the Tiger Army, and the black represents the Jingshan Army." After a pause, he said: "Now the Second Army of the Imperial Forest Shenwu has arrived at the northern foot of Qishan Mountain and set up camp there. The other three armies did not go together, Huben went to the south of Horseshoe Mountain, the iron armor was in the southwest of Horseshoe Mountain, and the Jingshan Army was in the east of Horseshoe Mountain. ”

As soon as he heard Tie Ying say, 'The three armies did not go to Qishan', Emperor Zhaowu's pupils constricted, if it weren't for Li Hun on his side, he would definitely have a seizure on the spot.

In fact, it is useless to have a seizure, because from now on, the entire military exercise battlefield is not allowed to enter, and even if he has a big opinion, it is impossible for the people inside to know.

But he can be angry with himself. I saw Emperor Zhaowu get up with an unkind face, leave the dragon chair that was not yet hot, and walk out of the big tent.

Sneering at his departing back, Li Hun snorted lightly and said, "One soldier bears, one bear, a nest of bears...... After speaking, he also got up and left.

They will return to the Great Tent at this time the next day to hear the latest news of the battle.

Qin Lei and his black-armored cavalry have been in the war zone for seven days. In the past seven days, the team has marched on the vast land crisscrossed by the ravines in the northwest, and the eyes are full of loess that cannot be seen, and there is not a single star and a half of other colors in sight.

After staying in this loess world for a long time, the whole team turned yellow. The soldiers' black robes were covered with a thick layer of loess, and their faces were yellow as if they were malnourished, and even their eyebrows and beards were full of rustic.

Ordered the team to hide under the mountain beam, and Qin Lei and Xu Tian climbed up to observe.

Taking out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and carefully wiping the crystal lenses, Qin Lei gathered the pair of telescopes in front of him and looked into the distance. But I saw that there was a vertically jointed mountain peak due to the west, which was abruptly erected, like an island in the ocean.

"That's where it is...... Horseshoe Mountain, right? Qin Lei hissed and asked.

Licking his chapped lips, Xu Tian shook his head and said, "Not yet, Horseshoe Mountain is still to the west." There is Wowo Mountain, and the mountains here are all the same, and it is difficult to recognize. ”

"Why did it stop here?" Qin Lei asked softly.

"After that, it's the scope of the other party's scout activities." Xu Tian replied in a low voice, "It will be discovered." ”

Qin Lei nodded, pointed to the mountains and mountain beams on the plain, and said, "You can use these things." After speaking, he turned over and slipped down the mountain beam, and Xu Tian also slipped down.

The three major landforms of loess plain, ridge and beam create the shape of the loess high slope. As the name suggests, the Loess Plain is also wide, flat and incomparably flat, and it is the best place for cavalry to fight...... However, because the loess soil is loose,

It is very susceptible to the erosion of flowing water, and is pulled into a series of valleys by the current flow, and divides into long strips of land, which are called 'mountain beams'. At this moment, Qin Lei's hiding place was a deep ravine under the mountain beam. If the beam is cut by the valley and scattered and isolated, the shape of the man-like hill is 'ridge'. The ridges and beams crisscross each other, resulting in an extremely complex loess hilly landform.

Qin Lei plans to use this to make some articles.

"Map!" As soon as his butt hit the ground, Qin Lei said to Shi Dang: "The thirty-seventh area." ”

Shi Dang hurriedly pulled out a bamboo tube with 'Sanqi' written on it from his horse, unscrewed the cover, and took out the map inside.

When it is spread out, it is a layered and colored topographic map of the vicinity of Horseshoe Mountain. Seeing that the landform he had just seen was displayed on the map exactly as it was, Qin Lei said to Xu Tian approvingly: "Good job, really hard work." ”

Xu Tian gritted his teeth and smiled, his teeth made his dark face show, and it was dazzlingly white. This was last winter, when he took the brothers of the scout camp to the entire northwest, and even the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve was spent on the loess plateau, which led to today's results.

After sketching a few times on the map with charcoal, Qin Lei cleared his throat and said, "Along this road, we can get close to the place two miles east of Horseshoe Mountain, and after launching an attack at night, we can leave from the west." As he spoke, he gestured with a charcoal pen: "After leaving, we went all the way west until we regrouped in the area of Baiyang River." ”

After speaking, he put the charcoal pen on the picture and said: "Remember our principles, harassment is the mainstay, and remember not to fight." Squeezing eyes and smiling: "This kind of attack will be carried out at least five times, and Lone doesn't want to become 'Lonely' in the end." ”

Bo Xian Saiyang, who was honest and obedient on the side, smiled when he heard this: "Uncle, I will accompany you when the time comes." "Because his battalion participated in the last military exercise, he didn't get the opportunity to go out this time...... After all, in this kind of military exercise, the most important thing is to let the team charge and exercise. However, in order to better train the officers, in addition to the necessary left-behind officers, the squadron commanders and above of the Jingshan Army were dispatched to participate in the military exercise.

Qin Lei laughed and said: "You can't use a mace this time, your power is much smaller, don't be like last time, you were dragged by the card for the first charge." ”

Bo Xiang Saiyang smiled slyly: "I hide the small cards close to me, and no one can grab them if I don't completely knock them down." "As soon as I heard it, I learned from the pain.

After the two of them laughed, Shi Dangcai said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, do you need to notify the other detachments?" ”

Shaking his head, Qin Lei smiled: "No need, they are all tried and tested generals, they can make their own judgments, or don't interfere well." As he spoke, he pulled a military blanket over it, closed his eyes and said, "Hurry up and rest, and act after dark." ”

Shi Dang went to convey the order, and Xu Tian went to An to wait for the vigilance...... Bo Xian Saiyang hugged the wooden stick and fell asleep.

The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is very large, which can make people really 'wear a leather jacket in the morning, wear yarn in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove'. Not long after the sun set, Qin Lei was awakened by freezing, glanced at the blue-black pure sky, and muttered softly, "What the hell is the weather." ”

I heard Shi Dang laugh softly: "The prince is awake?" As he spoke, he handed over the water bladder and invited him to dinner.

Taking the two bags, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of meal is this?" It's a sin. "The so-called 'desert lonely smoke' is not a joke, no one dares to bury a pot here to cook, so it can only be done like this.

Shi Dang heard this and whispered: "Or...... Change the combat rations, right? That's good to swallow. ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "That thing is too rare, let's keep it for the critical moment." As he spoke, he glanced around him and said, "Besides, everyone eats this, how can I be special?" "'In ordinary times, privilege means to be looked up to; In wartime, privilege means hostility. This is one of Qin Lei's code of conduct.

He stopped talking, pulled off the plug of the water bladder, and gently lifted it, letting the water in the sac flow into his mouth a little, moistening his throat that was about to smoke.

Sighing comfortably, he untied the rope at the mouth of the grain bag again, and scooped out a small scoop with the gourd inside.

Glancing at the yellow-green grain powder, Qin Lei couldn't help but swallow dryly. When I tilted my head and closed my eyes, I poured the contents of the scoop into my mouth, and suddenly my mouth was like being covered with cement, and it was very difficult to even breathe...... This thing is so absorbent that it can suck up all the spit in your mouth at once. But he still didn't drink water, puffed out his eyes and swallowed hard, until he couldn't stand it anymore, and then poured some water into his mouth to relieve the drought in his mouth.

Then continue to take out the strength of the milk and swallow it, and when it can't stand it anymore, pour a little more water. If you do it three times, you can finish a meal.

It's all about saving water!

There is really no way to do this, because the loess plateau at this time is still in the dry season, it is difficult to find a little water within a radius of tens or hundreds of miles, and the ditch marked a few months ago has also dried up, and this situation will continue for a long time...... Anyway, Qin Lei, they can't wait for the rainy season.

It's not that there is no water in the vicinity at all, for example, there is groundwater on Horseshoe Mountain, but it is also the nest of the Taiwei Army. The only source of water is the Taiwei Army's out-and-out magic weapon to defeat the enemy. This is also an important reason why the eldest prince chose to entrench himself on this loess plateau with a radius of nearly 200 miles, instead of going south to the humid area of Qishan......

When he found out that the Taiwei army came to this trick of 'the tiger does not come out of the hole', Qin Lei knew that he had met a strong enemy. The opponent's mind was extremely clear, he knew that the battle of Qin and Qi was imminent, and Emperor Zhaowu's desire for this victory was even greater than that of Lord Taiwei. The reason is very simple, if there is no Marshal of the Forbidden Army, the one who leads the forbidden army will be Lord Taiwei. Therefore, if the emperor wants to seize the power to lead the forbidden army, he must obtain the title of marshal of the forbidden army.

Therefore, the Taiwei army did not need to attack, as long as they squatted on the horseshoe mountain, quietly tasted the sweet spring water, and waited for the dry and smoking opponent to appear.

There is a cloud in the art of war: 'If you move, you will change, if you don't move, you will not change, and you will win in stability. ’

After gritting his teeth and eating, Qin Lei coughed a few times, shook the water bladder and said, "You can drink it for three days." ”

"With the spare, there's still eight days of water in total." Shi Dang said softly.

"That is, we have six days left." Qin Lei frowned slightly, and said in a rough voice: "You must drive the other party out of the mouse hole within this time." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the black-armored cavalry was ready to go, with men and horses tied to their mouths, and galloped along the winding ravine. No mobilization is required...... Qin Lei is at the forefront, this is the best mobilization.

Tonight, the moon is sparsely starry, and there is no need to even light a lantern in the starry sky. Silently touching the mountain valley, Qin Lei raised his hand. Shi Dang, who was following behind, quickly stopped and raised his hand. The same movement was transmitted backwards without any mistakes, and after a while, the whole team stopped.

Carefully identifying the intermittent white ash on the hillside, which was the traces left by Xu Tian, who took the lead, Qin Lei carefully led the horse under his guidance. As we said, the slopes here are mostly straight up and down, and it is not easy to find a path where the warhorses can go up.

After a difficult crawl, Qin Lei's vision suddenly widened, and the brightly lit Horseshoe Mountain was finally in sight.

Suppressing the slight excitement in his heart, he and Xu Tian, who came to answer, quietly stepped aside to make room for the team that came up behind.

About a quarter of an hour later, about half of the team came up, and Xu Tian said softly: "The patrol team is coming soon." "This can be regarded as a large-scale battlefield maneuver, in the absence of accurate timing equipment, can only look at the sky about the time, the error is normal, no error is abnormal.

Qin Lei didn't think about it, so he resolutely ordered: "Charge formation, charge towards Horseshoe Mountain in ten breaths!" Then he ordered to the hillside: "The team behind does not have to come up, but go directly to the meeting place." With that, he turned on his horse and joined the charging formation.

'Five, four, three, two, one! Shen Qi, the leader, silently recited five numbers in his heart, then grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out first, and the black-armored cavalry behind him also rode his horse to follow.

After a short start, the horses began to run, faster and louder, and before they had crossed half a mile, they heard a sharp whistle from the west, which seemed to have been discovered by the patrol.

The rush of the whistle, like an order to forge ahead, made the speed of the black-armored cavalry faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the field again, and the deer on the periphery of the camp in front of the mountain was already clearly visible.

The camp suddenly roared with gongs, and the Taiwei army, who had been waiting for him, hurriedly rushed out of the camp tent, turned over their horses, and lined up to meet the enemy, moving in an orderly manner and apparently well-trained. They weren't worried that the enemy would rush in right away, as the three-tiered deer barn was enough to slow down the enemy and give them a chance to gain the same charge speed.

It is said that in this exercise, which prohibits puncture, sharp, and blunt injuries, ramming the opponent with speed has become the only way to fight the cavalry.

But the black-armored cavalry were no ordinary hooligans, and they did not even cross the deer barricade before they threw them outside into the camp...... Although the exercise prohibits all arrows from arrowheads, there is no rule that fireballs are not allowed. General Qin, who was good at studying and using the rules, naturally would not let go of this loophole, and while removing the arrows, he ordered the soldiers to tie oilcloth to the barrels of the arrows......

The chief raised the torch and lit the fire for his subordinates who fanned out. At each point, a rocket was fired into the barracks of the Captain's Army...... The sky is pitiful, the sky is dry......

Before the lieutenants could form their formation, hundreds of rockets were shot in, and by the time they rushed out, the camp was already on fire everywhere, but the light was shining in all directions, and there was no need to light lanterns at all.

The black-armored cavalry was still shooting unhurriedly, and when the Taiwei army approached, they put away their crossbow arrows unhurriedly, and even had the leisure to say hello to the other party from afar, and then roared away.

And the group of annoyed and angry cavalry of the Taiwei Army could only slow down and watch the other party flee far away...... Because the terrifying three-layer deer barricade has become an obstacle on their side.

Waiting for the team to carefully come out, they could only look at the smoke and dust rolled up in the west, scolding and talking cheaply...... His Royal Highness strictly ordered that the troops were not allowed to pursue excessively, and those who violated the order were engaged in military law.

After scolding for a while, no one returned the favor, and the cavalrymen stopped boringly, turned back to the camp, and joined the firefighting team.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness had the foresight to set up a fire barrier between the tents, and even hid important facilities such as grain and grass warehouses in the deepest part, so although the fire burned fiercely, it did not last long...... That is, a fifth of the barracks were burned.

After fighting the fire, the soldiers with dusty faces also accumulated, and they returned to the camp to rest. Those who were homeless didn't bother to set up any more tents, so they huddled together and fell asleep, wanting to survive the night first.

Even His Highness thinks so.

But they obviously didn't know much about Qin Lei's combat style...... In addition to being particularly stylish, his style is to trade the least price for the biggest victory. It is his philosophy of the art of war that soldiers never tire of deceit. One of the simplest examples, looking at his previous actions, is that he never does it when the sun is shining and the visibility is good, in addition to reflecting the fact that this person's heart is not very bright, it can also reflect this person's inexplicable aversion to head-to-head confrontation.

From his point of view, we should try to avoid a decisive battle before we have completely crippled the enemy, played crazy and stupid, and weakened it to the point that it can no longer be weakened.

In his dictionary, victory is victory, and there is never a saying that 'victory is not martial'.
