Before dusk, when Li Fengyun rushed to Qixingbo with the Thunder First Army, the battle here was over, and only the wolf smoke was still swaying in the air.

In the afternoon, Guo Ming, the commander of the Tiger Army, commanded more than 2,000 elite soldiers disguised as horse thieves, and with the close cooperation of Mi Yong, Gao Hu and Chi Xiaodou Tieyi, the commanders of the Thunder Second Army, and with the support of the Thunder Fourth Army, which followed Hu Ben, they swept through Qixingbo with absolute superiority and captured a lot, whether it was Xi tribesmen, stranded merchants, cattle and sheep and other property, all of which were in their pockets.

Although Meng Ba, the garrison leader of the Xi nationality of Qixingbo, had already prepared, and even prepared for evacuation in advance, but because he could not see the situation clearly, misjudged, and underestimated the strength and attack of the opponent, he was still caught off guard by the opponent in the case of preparation, outnumbered, and fled in a hurry.

But even so, Meng Ba, the king of humiliation, still did not know who his enemy was. At present, the enemies he has seen with his own eyes are all forest horse thieves, or rather, they are all Han Lu brave men who look like horse thieves in tattered clothes, except for the fact that the heavy army is in hand, which reveals the unusual nature of this team, there is no other evidence that they must be Turkic, or must be Middle-earth, and there is no evidence that this team has tens of thousands of horses, and their goal is to capture Xidi.

Meng Ba doesn't know his opponent, but Mi Yong knows very well, as the horse thief leader of the flat pine forest, his main enemy is the Xi clan with the ghost side as the center, of course, he knows the opponent well, so after capturing the Seven Star Lake, he stopped, planning to use the Seven Star Lake as a bait to lure the ghost army to take the initiative to attack, and then use the advantage of his own strength to encircle and annihilate it, first kill the enemy's living force in the field, weaken the enemy's strength, and then fight the ghost city will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This strategy was supported by generals such as Guo Ming, Jingjiang Liujinfei and Gao Hu, so after Li Fengyun arrived, Mi Yong and others immediately offered this plan, hoping to win Li Fengyun's will. One look at the book・1・cc

Li Fengyun had to veto it without thinking about it, but after a little weighing, he held back, after all, to do great things, we must work together, we must be united, we must not be arbitrary, we must not engage in a one-word hall, we must discuss when it is time to discuss, and only by brainstorming and learning from others' strengths can we minimize mistakes and losses.

The reason why the generals offered this plan was still selfish, nominally because they were worried that they would lose too much in the process of attacking the fortifications, but in fact they were preserving their strength, and this kind of selfishness and thinking were very common in the alliance, and they were everywhere at all times, and the interests of individual interests and small groups always overrode the overall interests of the alliance, and Li Fengyun had no good solution to this, so he could only try to take into account the interests of all parties and make every effort to alleviate the contradictions and conflicts.

At this moment, although Li Fengyun knows the "little ninety-nine" in the stomach of the generals, it is not good to blame him too much, they are all his own brothers, and the points are good, all in order to win the ghost side as quickly as possible at the lowest cost, so Li Fengyun can only endure it, in the face of the eager eyes of the generals, he raised a question, "If Xi Yu has seen the current situation clearly, has known that our army is pressing, and knows that our goal is the entire Anzhou, the ghost side will inevitably ask for help from Ah Huizheng, ask for help from Xi Wangfu, and stick to Songshan at any cost." , even if you would rather give up the ghost side and stick to Songshan, to ensure that Ah Huizheng and the main force of the five armies can smoothly withdraw to Xidi, then the ghost side's attack on us must hold on to the city and do everything possible to hold us back, so as to give Ah Huizheng more time to retreat and reinforcements to the north. ”

Li Fengyun looked at the generals and accentuated his tone, "Time is the key to determining victory or defeat, we need to achieve the goal of attack in the shortest possible time, and the ghost side needs longer to reverse the crisis, so our attack cannot have the slightest pause, let alone give the opponent any chance to calculate, delay time, and delay our attack." ”

Mi Yong frowned slightly, feeling resentful, and also questioned, "If the ghost party can't attack for a long time, won't we be in a deep predicament?" ”

"Of course, we must be prepared to fight a vicious war. One?? "I want to do everything I can to hide my traces and do my best to deceive Xi Yu, just to catch the ghost side off guard, if I can attack the enemy unprepared, and take the initiative on the Anzhou battlefield in one fell swoop, of course, it is a good thing, on the contrary, if we fail to go down in one drum, we must change our strategy, we must not be trapped by the ghost side, we must turn the passive into the active, we must use the ghost side as bait, besiege the city and send reinforcements, concentrate superior forces to break through, and fight an earth-shattering vicious battle. ”

Mi Yong thought for a while, but still insisted on his opinion, "This place is eighty miles away from the ghost side, Xi Lu quickly whips up, and can reach the ghost side before midnight, if the ghost side is determined to recapture the Seven Star Lake, and send troops to counterattack overnight, we will be able to see the enemy after dawn tomorrow, we can surround and kill Xi Lu on all sides, and we can inflict heavy losses on Xi Lu, so that if we fight the ghost side again, the odds of victory will be greatly increased, and the time we have delayed is at most one night and one morning, seven or eight hours." ”

Li Fengyun smiled and asked, "How sure are you?" If you were the commander of the Demon Side, and you were sure that the enemy was a Turkic or a Middle-earthite, would you still fight back? Or, if you are not sure who your enemy really is, and you don't know anything about it, will you rush back and fight back? Do you dare to risk the fall of the Ghost Fang and try your best to recapture the Seven Star Lake? Aren't you afraid that you will fall into a trap, lose your troops and generals, and finally lose the ghost city, cut off Ah Huizheng's retreat, and bring ruin to Xi Di? ”

Mi Yong couldn't give an answer and hesitated.

"For Ah Huizheng, when he was attacking the Khitans with all his might, the ghost side was too important, and its importance even exceeded that of Gubeikou." Li Fengyun continued, "Gubeikou is lost, the people of Middle-earth are killed, there is Baitan City to block, and Xi Wangfu can be intercepted, and he can also lead the army back in time, but the ghost side is lost, his retreat is broken, and when the army is in chaos, the Khitans follow and kill, the consequences are very terrible, and the extinction of the dead clan is possible." So according to the information you get, and then according to our calculations, Ah Hui is in order to ensure the safety of the ghost side, at most four or five thousand people can be left, this is his limit, he not only has to use the main force to go north to attack the Khitan, but also defend Middle-earth in the southwest and southeast directions, intercept the Turks in the northwest direction, and at the same time suppress the Xidi itself, where did he get many troops? If the ghost side only has four or five thousand garrisons, or less, in the current obviously unfavorable situation, from the perspective of security, will they choose to defend passively and hold the city, or will they replace defense with offense and actively counterattack? ”

The answer is self-evident, Qixingbo is just a large garrison, there is no danger to defend, and the ghost side is an ancient city, tall and strong, the defense capabilities of the two are not comparable at all, and more importantly, holding on to Qixingbo and sticking to the ghost side can achieve the purpose of intercepting the enemy, in this case, why do you have to pay a huge price to stick to Qixingbo?

Mi Yong was speechless, and turned his eyes to Jingjiang Liujinfei, Gao Hu, Chi Xiaodou Tieyi and others, hoping that they would fight on the basis of reason. Li Fengyun's goal is clear, he wants to kill the ghost side as quickly as possible, and immediately attack, the soldiers are noble, but in this way, the infantry army will not have time to rush to the battlefield, and it will be the horse army that will attack the city first. The Ma army is newly built, the combat effectiveness is very limited, there are no conditions for attacking fortifications, once it is put into the battlefield, the losses are too great, this is something that Mi Yong and other commanders of the horse army can not accept, the eagle has not yet spread its wings and died, too aggrieved, and there is no way to explain to the brothers who have followed them for many years.

Gao Hu comprehended, looked up at Li Fengyun, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Fengyun raising his hand.

"The new Ma army needs time to run in and improve, and in the short term, it is mainly to cooperate with the infantry army." Li Fengyun was impatient, unintentionally entangled, and bluntly said, "The Ma army is very important to our foothold outside the Saiwai and our future hegemony, and there is no room for failure, so this time to attack the ghost side, the task of the Ma army is to outflank in a roundabout way, that is, to bluff, and to buy time for the infantry to arrive on the battlefield." ”

As soon as Li Fengyun said this, Mi Yong's high heart suddenly relaxed, Gao Hu and other generals also breathed a sigh of relief, and Guo Ming woke up and realized that he had been deceived by these barbarians without paying attention, and he couldn't help but slander himself, and his eyes showed unkindness.

"Soldier God." Li Fengyun waved his hand, undoubtedly, "Don't hesitate, immediately launch a pursuit, go straight to the ghost side, surround it on all sides, and do everything possible to cut off the connection between the ghost side and the outside." ”

"Urgently report to Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong) and the commander-in-chief of the armies, Qixing Po has been ke, and a certain has led the thunder armies to attack the ghost side overnight, surround the ghost side, ask them to speed up, rush to the ghost side day and night, and be sure to arrive at the battlefield around dusk tomorrow."

The generals suddenly agreed to the promise and bowed down to receive the order.

September 16, late at night, ghost party.

Wang Yun was nearly fifty years old, emaciated, and had a pair of sharp eyes in his sunken eye sockets, and at this moment, these eyes exuded a fierce murderous aura under the reflection of the dim candlelight. He was too angry, angry, not angry that his son had lost Qixingbo, let the entire flat pine forest defense line fall into the hands of the enemy, exposed the ghost side to the enemy's attack, and made the situation in Xidi suddenly sinister, but angry that his son didn't even know who the enemy was until now, which was ridiculous and incredible.

"My lord, the enemies I have seen with my own eyes are all forest horse thieves, and from all known signs, the enemy should be Turkic, but the news from within the horse thieves says that the white wolf has returned, and he has returned with tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops, and our enemies are Middle-earth." Meng Ba, the king of humiliation, knelt on the ground, his expression was discouraged, he was angry and frightened, he helplessly opened his hands, and said with a sad face, "My lord, it's not that I'm defenseless, but I can't resist it at all." ”

"White wolf? Middle-earthers? Wang Yun laughed angrily, and Leng Sensen asked, "Are you deceiving me that I am old and dizzy, and you can deceive at will?" ”

"My lord, there is a misunderstanding." Meng Ba was frightened and shook his hand again and again, "I didn't lie to you, how dare I say anything about such a big thing?" ”

Yun was furious, jumped up, rushed to Meng Ba's side, raised his hand and wanted to slap it down, at this moment, the big horn protruded, and the sound of the alarm resounded in the night sky.

Enemy attack. The father and son were taken aback and looked at each other.
