Chapter 173: On Paper
In the early morning of the next day, the 30,000 Divine Sword Army under Liu Xu got up early to train their troops, even earlier than the garrison troops in Shanhaiguan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the county lord's personal guard army, Xia Ningmei was temporarily handed over to Liu Xu, so Xia Shisan is still under Liu Xu's account.
"Tut-tut, I can't see it, this bandit army is still good at training."
"Hmph, it's just a group of mountain bandits, and when I see them, they will be revealed as soon as they go to the battlefield."
"That's right, it's useless to look good, when it comes to combat effectiveness, can they compare with us? They understand what a military formation is? ”
A patrol passed by, and the captain saw such a scene and said with disdain. Suddenly, the patrol burst into laughter.
In the face of the ridicule of these veterans, the Divine Sword Army was naturally unhappy, but Wang Shun said sharply: "Train well, and you can be impressive on the battlefield in the future!" ”
"Yes!"
The Excalibur Army shouted in unison, and the neat slogans soared into the sky, with extraordinary momentum.
On the third day after Liu Xu arrived at Shanhaiguan, the county lord received information from the spies that the new king of Nantian had arrived in the southwest frontier and was stationed on a plain more than 300 miles away from Shanhaiguan.
The county lord immediately gathered his subordinates and began to discuss the battle situation.
"Lord Liu, the county lord has already submitted the folds of your Excalibur Army, and it is estimated that the approval of the imperial court will come down in five days, and now your troops have been completely established."
As soon as she came up, Xia Ningmei directly told Liu Xu about the twist, which could be regarded as a reassuring pill for Liu Xu.
"Thank you, Lord County."
"Okay, everyone knows the intelligence, now the new king of Nantian wants to show his might to my Great Zhou, and the old man Hu Peng, the priest of the priest, failed to lobby some time ago, so the imperial court sent us to garrison Shanhaiguan, if Nantian Guo doesn't know what to do, we will give a head-on blow, let them know the strength of our Great Zhou army!"
Then, Xia Ning frowned sharply and said a passionate word, which could be regarded as boosting morale.
"Now, the army of Nantian Kingdom is stationed on the Shizhang Plain, three hundred miles north of Shanhaiguan, according to the report of the spies, they have about 50,000 horses, okay, what do you think?"
After Xia Ningmei finished speaking, a pair of heroic but beautiful eyes glanced at the generals present.
"Back to the county lord, Zhao Kun has something to say."
Zhao Kun, a white-armored teenager, stood up and reported back.
"Say." Xia Ning snorted expressionlessly.
Zhao Kun nodded, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of pride.
"Nantian Xiaoguo, offending Tianwei, we naturally can't allow them to take the initiative to attack, since they are now stationed in Shizhangyuan, then Zhao is willing to take the initiative to ask Ying, with three thousand cavalry raid, he will definitely be able to kill them by surprise!"
Zhao Kun said confidently, quite a general.
At this moment, Liu Xu chuckled, which instantly became particularly harsh in the originally quiet manager's tent.
"What are you laughing at!"
Zhao Kun frowned, a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at Liu Xu, and at the same time, a breathing aura rushed towards Liu Xu.
The generals who can stay by Xia Ningmei's side are all wise and brave, and this Zhao Kun is naturally no exception, he is not only an excellent general, but also a martial arts master, and the enemy soul under his spear is not eight hundred, but also one thousand.
"No, no, I just thought of an interesting story I saw before." Liu Xu restrained his smile and glanced back at Zhao Kun.
"Oh? What's so interesting, say it and listen to it. ”
Xia Ningmei looked at Liu Xu with interest, she knew that Liu Xu would naturally not be bored, and really only told one story.
"Okay."
Liu Xu nodded and stood up.
"Once upon a time, there was a Zhao country, and there was a general named Zhao Hao, and he had a son named Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo has been studying the art of war since he was young, talking about using soldiers to fight, and thinking that no one in the world can resist him. Zhao Kuo once discussed with his father Zhao Hao about using soldiers to fight, Zhao Hao couldn't refute it, but Zhao Hao didn't admit that he had military talent. Zhao Kuo's mother asked Zhao Hao the reason, and Zhao Hao said: "Fighting a war is a matter of fighting with your life, but Zhao Kuo said it easily. If Zhao Guo doesn't let Zhao Kuo be a general, if he has to be a general, then it must be Zhao Kuo who destroys Zhao's army. ’
Later, Zhao Kuo became a general, and sure enough, the soldiers of Zhao State were finally defeated by the enemy country under the command of Zhao Kuo, leading to the fall of Zhao State.
This story is called talking on paper, how about it, isn't it interesting? ”
After Liu Xu finished speaking, he sat down, and at the same time glanced at Pang Yuan beside him and blinked.
"! How can there be any Zhao country in this world, talking on paper? Where did this allusion come from! According to Zhao, Lord Liu is insinuating against Zhao, and he doesn't even change his surname, but it is difficult for Lord Liu to come up with such a story to mock Zhao. ”
Zhao Kun snorted coldly, he was not a fool, he naturally knew the meaning of Liu Xu's words.
"In my opinion, the only people here can only talk on paper, and there should be only Lord Liu, who is a talented Dutong lord."
A middle-aged general sitting next to Zhao Kun then said, he is a veteran next to the county lord, named Cheng Zhan, and he has rich battlefield experience, and he once followed the county lord to the north.
"Two hundred miles of raids on the Nantian army stationed in the plain, it sounds feasible, and the plain is suitable for cavalry combat, two thousand elite cavalry can certainly give the enemy a heavy blow, but don't forget, the other party is not a fool, since they are stationed in the plain, they will naturally guard against cavalry raids, and, speaking of cavalry, they have a trump card in their hands, that is, the strongest cavalry known as the 'Red Tiger Cavalry' that does not need to charge, I am afraid that General Zhao will take two thousand elite cavalry, and only the infantry will be left when they come back."
Liu Xu stood up and talked eloquently.
Zhao Kun remained silent, how could he not know that the other party had the ace Red Tiger Army.
"It seems that Lord Liu doesn't know, Zhao is the best at assault, even if the other party has ace cavalry, it doesn't matter, Zhao has the confidence to retreat."
Liu Xu smiled faintly and nodded: "Oh, that's it." ”
"You!"
In the face of Liu Xu's attitude, how could Zhao Kun, a 'veteran', not be angry, but he then turned his anger into laughter.
"Okay, Lord Liu, Zhao would like to hear your opinion."
"Raid."
Liu Xu said casually.
"Good! Then the task of this raid will be handed over to Liu Dutong, and Zhao wants to see what kind of raid method Lord Liu wants. ”
Zhao Kun snorted lightly, and then sat down with an angry face.
"General Zhao, the battlefield is not child's play, now is not the time to be angry and noisy."
Xia Ningmei spoke at this time.
