Chapter Ninety-Three: The Beginning of the Battle of Nanling

Wait for another 15 days, until October 21, Da Nan Chen Ling 1! Bring. ushered in the first heavy snow that Ji Liu Qing hoped for.

Looking at the snow falling from the sky, the generals of the Jizhou soldiers and the Great Liang Army sighed secretly, because in their impression, once the snow fell from the sky, it meant that the war of the year would be temporarily stopped, after all, the heavy snow blocking the road was not conducive to the fight between the two armies.

What exactly is that Liu Qing doing? Because she trusted her so much, she appointed him as a military advisor of the three armed forces......

It can be seen that the faces of the generals of the Great Liang Army and the Jizhou Soldiers are not very good-looking, and it is clear that Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, entrusted the two armies to end the war with the rebels of the Three Kings as soon as possible when he left, but Liu Qing made a passive and slacking appearance, how could this not make the generals under his command unswerving? If it weren't for Xie An's face, I'm afraid that the generals of the Great Liang Army, who didn't have the slightest impression of Liu Qing, would have already rushed into the tent to find out Liu Qing.

"Quack, quack......"

Walking on the snow in the southern camp, Wang Huai, the deputy marshal of the Great Liang Army who was patrolling the camp, once again unconsciously came to the vicinity of the marshal's tent.

Glancing at Xie An's small wooden house that served as a handsome tent, Wang Huai hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over there.

In his opinion, it was he who overrode public opinion and presented the heavenly Ji Liu Qing as a prisoner to Xie An, so now, he is obliged to take responsibility for this matter, if Liu Qing really has bad intentions and intends to delay the time for the Zhou army to conquer the traitor Li Shen, then ・・・・・・

Pinching the saber on his waist, a trace of killing intent flashed in Wang Huai's eyes.

"General Wang!"

The guards guarding outside the wooden house clasped their fists and saluted Wang Huai.

"Hmm!" Wang Huai nodded, clenched his fists and said softly, "The last general has something to see the adults and military advisors, and I also ask a few brothers to report on my behalf!" ”

"This ・・・・・・" several guards looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "Returning to General Wang, my lord and Liu Junshi are not in the house at the moment......"

"Huh?" Wang Huai was stunned, looked at the guards suspiciously, and asked, "Is it another time to spy on the reality of the traitor's army?" ”

"Yes, General!" One of the guards explained carefully, "Early this morning, my lord and Liu Qingjun went to Nanling, but it was slightly different from the previous ones, and there were two generals, Tang Hao and Liao Li, who were accompanied by them!" ”

"Vice Marshal Tang and General Liao?" Wang Huai was stunned when he heard this, and glanced thoughtfully in the direction of Chen Ling.

At the same time, on the top of the mountain around Huapengling in the Great Southern Chen Mountains, Xie An and Liu Qing stood on the top of the mountain, staring at the rebel army camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Slipping down this way?" Tang Hao subconsciously licked his lips. It is undeniable that when he heard Liu Qing's seemingly crazy strategy, Rao is a young general with both civil and military skills couldn't help but be in a cold sweat, after all, the nearby mountain is twenty zhang high, judging by the distance of later generations, it is about sixty meters, if it is a guy who suffers from fear of heights, I am afraid that his legs will be weak in fright when he looks below.

"Theoretically feasible・・・・・・ Seeing Tang Hao and Liao Li subconsciously looking at him, Xie An nodded and said, "Snow can reduce friction, and use the back, to go down to this height of twenty zhang, it is only about thirty breaths......"

“… Liu Qing glanced at Xie An in surprise, muttering something in her mouth.

Frictional force......

Out of instinctive curiosity, Liu Qing couldn't help but want to ask Xie An what friction was, but because Tang Hao and Liao were standing beside him, Liu Qing couldn't pull this face.

After thinking about it, Liu Qing said in a low voice, "The problem is how to control the direction・・・・・・ soldiers will deviate from the direction without accident during the downward slide, and even collide with each other・・・・・・

"It's easy!" Smiling slightly, Xie An said softly, "Tie a rope on this mountain, the first person to go down with the rope, straighten and fix it below, and the subsequent soldiers can use this rope to stabilize the direction, just like this・Hold a cloth in both hands, stand on the rope, clamp the rope slightly with both feet, and slide on the snow with your back as much as possible, so that you can not only slide down as quickly as possible, but also cough ・・・・・・on the buttocks, and land on the buttocks, which is a measure to reduce injuries as much as possible......" As he spoke, Xie An made a few gestures, I only saw Liu Qing, Tang Hao and Liao Li suddenly realized.

Especially Liu Qing, looking at Xie An, there was a slight discoloration in her eyes from time to time.

"Huh・・・・・・" With a long breath, Liao Li gritted his teeth and said, "Since the adults have said so, there shouldn't be anything wrong...... The last general is willing to be the vanguard! ”

"In fact, the two of you were called over just so that you two could be the pioneers of this trip!" Looking at Tang Hao and Liao Li with a smile, Xie An lowered his voice and said, "According to the method of the military advisor, there should be no mistakes when you slide, the problem is how to overcome the fear in your heart, after all, this is a height of twenty zhang, which is more high than the walls of Jiangling City, it is not difficult to guess that the soldiers will have fear in their hearts, therefore, this government wants you to wait for the time to take the lead in demonstrating, as long as you wait for success, you can make the follow-up soldiers feel at ease, and there will be no mistakes・・・・・・"

"The Admiral understands!" Glancing at each other, Tang Hao and Liao Li nodded and said.

Seeing this, Liu Qing continued, "This operation must be fast, you must remember that there are more than 100,000 rebel troops under the mountain, if the fighter plane is delayed, so that the rebel army can gather troops, then this surprise attack will lose its effect...... Within a stick of incense, attack the military camp of Li Yu, the king of Jianyang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, not to kill many enemies, but to create chaos as much as possible! ”

"Li Yu, King of Thorn Yang, Li Gan, King of Biyang?" Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the distribution of the rebel army's military camp under the mountain, and asked suspiciously, "It's not for you!" Qin Li Shen, is it Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang? - The military camp of Li Shenfei, the king of Qin, is also near the foot of the mountain, why don't you attack this camp, but attack the rebels of the two vassal kings? Li Shen, the king of Qin, is the key to this battle, isn't it? ”

No wonder Tang Hao is so puzzled, after all, it is not difficult to see from Liu Qing's military tactics that she is fundamentally different from the eldest grandson Xiangyu. Maybe in the eyes of others, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's use of troops is like a wild imagination, and it can often be unexpected, but in fact, it is only because the gap between the wits of the two sides is too large, just like when Sun Xiangyu attacked Zhang Dong in Luoyang, with Zhang Dong's resourcefulness, how to break the strategy of the eldest grandson Xiangyu?

However, some time ago, Changsun Xiangyu played against Liu Qing, and it can be seen that this woman has grasped the situation on the battlefield from beginning to end, and everything on the battlefield has changed the direction of the battlefield, which is expected by this woman.

In other words, Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of the concubine, never needed to use strange soldiers, because she was enough to defeat the enemy army with righteous soldiers alone!

Of course, the most important point is that this woman is perfect in everything and hates to lose, so she never takes risks easily.

Compared with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the current Liu Qing is still a little lacking, and she can't see as far as the eldest grandson Xiangyu, so she can only use surprise wins to improve her winning rate, but as we all know, since she is a strange soldier, there will definitely be danger.

In the Battle of Hukou, Liu Qing successfully resisted the onslaught of the Zhou army with strange tricks on the night of Xie An's night attack on her Taiping army, but in the decisive battle of the valley, the strange army of Yan Lei, the god of light, was seen through by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, so not only did Liang Qiuhao, the tiger general, but also wiped out the Taiping army here, and even Liu Qing himself fell into Xie An's prisoner.

Therefore, in addition to the cleverness of one's own strategy, it also depends on whether the other party is worthy of cooperation.

And Li Shen, in Liu Qing's view, will definitely be a more cautious figure than Xie An Therefore, Rao is Liu Qing did not dare to rashly use the surprise attack on Li Shen, so he chose Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang.

Although it is said that the loss of the Zhou army's troops is geometric, there is no direct stake for her, even if the Zhou army is annihilated, Liu Qing will not have any distress, but you must know that Liu Qing still wants to use Xie An's troops to find Wu Heng for revenge, so she naturally wants to minimize the losses of Xie Anjun.

As the eldest grandson Xiangyu guessed, the reason why Liu Qing helped Xie An to attack Li Shen, the king of Qin, was just to gain the trust of Xie An and Zhou Jun, so that she could seek revenge on Wu Heng in the future.

As far as I know, when Li Shen was still the prince in Jijing, facing the two brothers of Li Wei, the former prince Zhou Aiwang, who could almost cover the sky in Jijing, not only could they protect themselves, but they could still make the two Li Wei brothers jealous, how could they be such an easy person to deal with? - Because I have dealt with him several times, but I have never fought against him, I don't know how this person used his troops, therefore, in the first battle, I should try to avoid contact with Li Shen・・・・・・ besides, the current purpose of your Zhou army is only to force Li Shen's entire army to retreat, to withdraw a place where your Zhou army can set up camp, there is no need to fight him right now, in vain! ”

"I see・・・・・・ Tang Hao nodded suddenly when he heard this, and looked at Liu Qing with a little trust in his eyes, after all, no matter what he was thinking, Liu Qing was indeed thinking about them at the moment.

"So, is the task of our army to kill Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang?" Liao Li asked in a deep voice. Compared with Tang Hao, his attitude towards Liu Qing made Liu Qing as a party even more puzzled.

"Nope! I just said, don't seek to kill the enemy, try to create chaos as much as possible・・・・・・" Liu Qing glanced at Liao Li strangely, feeling very puzzled by the inexplicable trust in his eyes.

"Killing Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, won't it cause the chaos of the rebel army to the greatest extent?" Liao Liyu argued unrelentingly.

It's not that he's dissatisfied with the tasks assigned by Liu Qing, the problem is that this guy already has some obsessive-compulsive disorder of great achievements, and he has two brilliant military exploits in front of him, Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, but he asked him Liao Li to deliberately create chaos, which is simply a kind of torture for him.

Fortunately, Liu Qing also learned more or less about Liao Li's character from Qin Ke'er's intelligence, and said when he heard the words, "Then let's do it, after the two of you successfully descend the mountain and attack the camp of the rebel king's army, General Tang Hao will pay close attention to the camp of Li Shen, the king of Qin on the west side, if he sends troops to help the two vassal kings, he must block them, as for General Liao Li・・・・・・ he will wholeheartedly attack the military camps of Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, if it is feasible, he will behead the two vassal kings and hang their heads high, as General Liao Li said, This will surely cause chaos among the rebel army! ”

"The last will understand! - The last general will definitely bring the heads of the two of them! Clenching his fists heavily, Liao Li showed a satisfied smile, and at the same time glanced at Liu Qing with a little gratitude.

To be honest, it is also a loss that Liu Qing is the military advisor at the moment, if it is the eldest grandson Xiangyu who is the commander of the army, Liao Lifangcai's words alone are enough to make the eldest grandson Xiangyu have the idea of replacing the vanguard generals, after all, the eldest grandson Xiangyu does not like the subordinate generals to make their own decisions.

Weird......

Seeing the trust in Liao Li's eyes, Liu Qing was slightly uncomfortable while being puzzled, because he couldn't figure out why Liao Li trusted her so much.

She didn't know that Liao Li was different from other generals, he had served as the commander of Xie An's guards earlier

I have experienced something similar. Four years ago, in Hanhan Valley Pass, Jin Ling'er was not the enemy who wanted to take Xie An's life, but what was the result? At present, Jin Ling'er has become the third lady in Xie An's mansion.

As for Liu Qing in front of him......

Sooner or later!

A little smile flashed in Liao Li's eyes, and the smile with kindness made Liu Qing instinctively feel uncomfortable. It seemed that he couldn't bear Liao Li's strange eyes, and Liu Qing coughed! He whispered, "I have sent a letter to the valley and the valley, and the Fei country of the valley and the horse Dan of the valley will cooperate with the surprise attack of the two of you, so that the attention of the rebel army can be shifted to the Fei country and Ma Dan as much as possible, so as not to pay attention to the affairs here, but in general, it is up to the people to make things happen and things to ...... heaven" Speaking of this, she glanced at Xie An a little unnaturally.

It's no wonder, after all, he was defeated by the eldest grandson Xiangyu once, Liu Qing already has some psychological shadows about using strange soldiers, and the reason why he added this sentence is nothing more than to excuse himself, so as not to fail the surprise attack at that time, which will disappoint Xie An. Whether to blame her or not is secondary, the question is if Xie An is disappointed in her, why will she use Xie An's forces to seek revenge on Wu Heng in the future?

As if he had seen through Liu Qing's thoughts, Tang Hao said with a smile, "The military advisor is at ease!" If even such a miraculous strategy fails, it can only be said that God is too blind, and he actually helped countries such as Li Shen, the king of Qin, to rebel and succeed・・・・・・ "It is undeniable that Tang Hao is also a thoughtful handsome talent, and when he saw Liu Qing's expression, he guessed the fate

After Xie An gave a few simple instructions, Tang Hao and Liao Li retired first, returned to the camp and prepared to go, after all, this surprise attack was very important, and they naturally had to choose some brave and strong soldiers with strong individual ability, lest he and Liao Li slid down the foot of the mountain when the time came, and the follow-up soldiers stood on the top of the mountain and looked at that height and trembled, it would be too funny. Not only is it funny, I'm afraid that even the lives of his Tang Hao and Liao Li will be thrown here.

Looking at the backs of Tang Hao and Liao Li leaving, Liu Qing glanced at the Dongling and Jinling assassins who were acting as guards around her, and seeing that they were standing quite far away, she thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "You seem to have guessed a long time ago?" ”

"What?"

Glancing at Xie An, who looked a little puzzled, Liu Qing frowned and said in a low voice, "Just now, when Tang Hao and Liao Li said this strategy, the two of them were dumbfounded, but you looked calm, isn't it because you have already guessed my strategy?" ――-When? ”

"Huh! - I think it was when you said that, waiting for the first heavy snow of the year......" Xie An said with a smile.

"......" A hint of discoloration flashed in Liu Qing's eyes.

Just because of this sentence, you guessed your surprise attack plan?

Vaguely, she felt as if she had noticed something very strange.

Just like Fang Cai, even she was having a headache with the direction control problem of the soldier sliding down the steep slope with the help of the snow, but Xie An was able to immediately come up with a solution and perfect her strategy, as if he had known about it for a long time and was quite experienced.

But when Liu Qing thought about it carefully, she couldn't think of anyone who had used a similar strategy, in that case, how did Xie An know about it?

Obviously, he is only in his twenties, seven or eight years younger than Brother Chen・・・・・・

At the same time that Liu Qing was secretly looking at Xie An, Xie An still stared at the steep slope and said something to the former.

"Today and tomorrow, it is best to ask some soldiers to find a way to press the snow on the steep slope, try to compact the snow, otherwise, too loose snow, it is not convenient for the soldiers to slide, if the cliff rock below is exposed, it is likely to make the soldiers injured・・・・・・ you can ask someone to pile up a few snowballs and roll down at night, so that the snow can be compacted, and it will not let the rebel army under the mountain notice that something is wrong, anyway, the snowball will be broken up when it is ten times, and it will turn into a pile of snow again...... Not? What are you doing looking at this house? ”

This guy ......

Not only can you make it easy to do it, but you can even improve your strategy...

Is......

“… Looking at Xie An deeply, Liu Qing opened her mouth, and stopped talking several times, but in the end, she still didn't say anything, but in her heart, she seemed to understand something.

No wonder the eldest grandson Xiangyu is so devoted to him, so it is・・・・・・

"Alright, let's go back." Taking a slight breath, Liu Qing said calmly, "After all, this place is too close to the rebel army, if it is seen by Li Shen's scouts, I am afraid that the surprise attack will be greatly reduced..."

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded approvingly.

Two days later, on October 23, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and the area around Chenling in Da Nan was covered with snow, as if all the scenery between heaven and earth was covered with silver makeup, which was beautiful.

And at this time, it can be called the cold season, the Fei ** of the Sichuan Valley took the initiative for the first time, and launched an offensive against the camp of the prince Li Bo of Qiuyang, but unfortunately, Li Bo has been on guard against the Fei State day and night since the defeat of Li Yan, the king of Chu, and the heavy snow is not conducive to the exchange of troops, therefore, the attack of the Fei State did not have any effect, but caused the vigilance of the rebel army and the Qin King Li Shen.

"Oh? Has His Royal Highness Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, attacked his camp? When this news reached the ears of Li Shen, the king of Qin, Li Shen's eyes showed a little surprise and abruptness, and he said lightly, "It seems that the king of the Zhou army does not intend to let the two sides pass this year in peace, but is it a bit underestimated to attack the camp so recklessly?" - Someone, quickly send someone to monitor the area around Huapengling! ”

"Hua Pengling? Isn't it Kawasani? One of his generals asked, stunned.

"The valley should just be a feint, and the real killing move should still be the Ma Dan army in the valley......" Touching his chin, Li Shen, the king of Qin, looked at the marching map, and a little solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"But I don't know where the target is for our army...... The vassal king? This king? ”
