The news of the great victory in the battle of Wuyuan, like having wings, quickly spread to Xingqing, Shuofang, and Yanmen Pass, and there was jubilation inside and outside the Great Wall. Countless soldiers of the garrison were overjoyed and enthusiastic, and tears of excitement were sprinkled all over the battlements of the fort.

The disaster of the Hu people lasted for a hundred years, depressed, and finally got snow today, this moment of raising eyebrows, Dahua has been waiting for too long.

Although there were only more than 40,000 enemies annihilated in the first battle, it was achieved under the condition that Dahua was inferior in terms of numbers and combat strength, and the classics of its battles can be written into textbooks. This is a milestone victory, which is of great significance to boost the morale of the people and soldiers of Dahua.

Stepping on explosives, guarding the five plains, leading more than 10,000 warriors to fight the Turks, brave and strategic, daring to act, Lin Wanrong became famous in a battle, but in a few days, his name spread all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, and was engraved in the hearts of 600,000 soldiers. In comparison, the credit for exterminating the White Lotus in the past is not worth mentioning at all.

Lin Wanrong didn't have the time to pay attention to these, in this battle, the elite from Shandong suffered heavy losses, and countless young soldiers fell in front of his eyes, which stimulated him and made it difficult for him to sleep. Along the way, he trained like crazy, got up early and went to bed late, and the degree of his life made Hu Bugui and others secretly surprised.

"Miss Xu, go and persuade the general." Under the sunset, Hu Bugui, Gao Chief, and Du Xiuyuan stood beside Xu Zhiqing, staring at Lin Wanrong's generous back in the distance, and sighed silently.

Lin Wanrong straddled the horse, bare arms, holding a knife in one hand, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead and cheeks. His countenance blurred, but he didn't notice it. The war horse was clamped between his legs, and he rushed out like a whirlwind.

"Kill—"

He roared. The long knife in his hand stabbed into the erected log, and the long tip pierced the back of the wood, trembling and trembling. Behind him thundered, thousands of horses kicked up the sand, and the knights roared as they rehearsed the desert offensive.

Xu Zhiqing sighed faintly: "Don't you know his temperament?" He laughs happier than anyone else, and his stubbornness is harder than a stone, who can persuade him. ”

Chief Gao nodded and said, "Yes, I used to talk to Brother Lin about which Miss Di was beautiful, and his eyes were full of light. Say whatever I want these two days. He also worked hard to get a few picture albums for him, but he couldn't laugh at all. ”

"Brother Gao, what kind of album did you give the general?" Du Xiuyuan said strangely.

Chief Gao laughed a few times: "It's a picture album that my ancestors secretly passed down and used for study." The kind that Brother Lin likes!"

What Lin San likes is definitely not a good thing! Miss Xu sighed lightly, her cheeks slightly clouded: "Today's time for collegiate deliberations has arrived." Commander Gao, you go and invite Lin San to my account to discuss matters. ”

Looking at Miss Xu's figure curling away, Du Xiuyuan and the others laughed. Chief Gao glanced around. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Two brothers, have you noticed it?" The relationship between the military advisor and the Lin brothers seems to have improved a lot in the past two days. She was fine and went to our camp to stop. Look at Brother Lin's eyes, that lingering - like wind and sand! It seems that I sent Brother Lin a picture album, and in two days, it will be useful, quack-"

"it!" Chief Gao took a kick, and a voice laughed behind him: "Those tricks on the album you sent were outdated ten years ago, and it's time to update them."

Lin Wanrong stood shirtless in front of several people, wiping the sand on his body. His skin was as healthy as his face, and his beads of sweat glistened in the yellow sand sunset, and he was extremely strong. Gao Chief looked at him and exclaimed: "Good muscle, good meat!" Brother Lin, how did you practice this kung fu? Teach me!"

Lin Wanrong said: "Wash your face with sand, rub the bath with bricks, persist for ten years, and great things can be achieved!"

Chief Gao rolled his eyes, Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan were happy, and the laughter was mixed with the cry of the war horses in the distance and the fighting sound of the soldiers, and went straight through the sky.

When Lin Wanrong stepped into the Chinese military land, the sun had sunk to the depths of the desert, and the soldiers guarding the front of the camp looked at him with reverence and saluted him. This is the trust and respect for the strong, and the highest praise for the bloody Turkic warriors.

Looking at these young faces full of expectation and excitement, thinking of those brothers who died in Wuyuan, Lin Wanrong smiled reluctantly and waved his hand silently.

As soon as he stepped into the tent of the Chinese army, he heard a heroic laugh: "Okay, you Brother Lin, you have won a big battle, but you haven't shown up for two days, what's the matter, aren't you afraid that we will rob you of your credit?" Zuoqiu, who spoke, grabbed his arm and smiled unrelentingly.

"Brother Zuo laughed, this credit belongs to everyone, do you still need to rob it?" Lin Wanrong smiled slightly.

There are a lot of people in the big tent today, and there are as many as 30 people in the commander and deputy general of the left, middle and right. Dahua fought so beautifully in the first battle, which was unexpected, not only washed away Dahua's many years of decline, but also made Hu people stop in Wuyuan and dare not rush forward, how could it not make people happy.

Lin Wanrong has been stimulated in the past few days, hiding in the desert to train fiercely, and has not participated in the collegiate meeting for two days, and everyone has seen him for the first time since Wuyuan, Zuoqiu pulled him to laugh a few times, and the atmosphere in the tent was very happy.

Xu Zhiqing glanced at him secretly, only to see that his armor was loose, and there was a faint sand on his forehead, and he seemed to have tanned a little more in the past two days, and there was more heroism in his giggling and laughing, which was different from his appearance before joining the army, as if he had two tastes. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Zuo, don't force him, I heard that before leaving from Wuyuan, General Lin beheaded all the five thousand Turkic war horses he had captured, and also put the word 'Dahua' to demonstrate to the Hu people." The Turkic Left King Badru came to the front line in person, and when he saw the blood-stained horse leader, he immediately jumped like thunder, and offered a reward of 10,000 gold, vowing to take Lin San. General Lin has been hiding and training his troops for the past two days, and he is worried that the Turks who are not afraid of death will rob him of gold!"

The crowd laughed merrily and applauded. Lin Wanrong glanced at her and grinned: "Then are you worried about the military master?!"

Miss Xu glanced at him a few times, her cheeks were dizzy, and she turned her head slightly, and she hummed as thin as a mosquito, which was extremely sweet.

Yu Zongcai, the deputy marshal on the left, saw the delicate situation of the two of them in his eyes, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Zuoqiu clapped his hands fiercely and said: "Brother Lin, your hand of beheading the horse is the most beautiful, and it is even happier than burying gunpowder in the Wuyuan City." Hu people grew up on the back, the war horse is their life, you cut it, so that the Turks are terrified! For hundreds of years, what we Dahua has lacked is this ruthless word! These knives go down - it's a pleasure!"

Everyone talked for a moment, and their confidence was suddenly punished unprecedentedly, and even Zuoqiu, who had always been calm, was also punished, and the effect of the first victory could be seen.

However, Lin Wanrong kept a clear mind, although the Turks lost 40,000 elites in the first battle, there were still 260,000 horses pressed in front of Wuyuan City. In this battle, the Hu people were defeated by pride and underestimated the enemy, and they were alone in depth, so that Dahua could highlight the plot and defeat the enemy. This battle has a certain chance and cannot be replicated. With the advancement of the war, the Hu people have grown wiser, and their vigilance has increased a lot.

Xu Zhiqing obviously realized this, and when the tent was quiet, she pointed to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice: "The current location of our army is on the line at the northern foot of Helan Mountain, about four hundred miles away from Wuyuan. Walking along the Helan Mountain Gorge is Xingqing Mansion, which is also the back of our army. We are the only line of defense in front of Xingqing Mansion. Although the battle of Wuyuan ended in a great victory for our army, the main force of the Hu people, Badru's department, had already joined the whole army under the city of Wuyuan, and there were still 200,000 people, and they were all Turkic elites. Due to the great victory of our army in the first battle, far beyond the expectations of the Turks, the Turkic division Lu Dongzan has changed his strategy, and the Hu cavalry no longer blindly advances, but adopts a steady and steady momentum and advances layer by layer. We have to find a chance to win by surprise like Wuyuan again, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

Miss Xu's words suddenly made the big tent fall silent. If the Hu people quit their impatience and rashness, then their combat power would be too terrifying. There is also the Turkic national teacher Lu Dongzan. His cleverness and wit have long been known.

"Generals, what do you think of the current situation?" Miss Xu sighed slightly. His eyes swept over the generals in the tent and asked softly.

The grim situation was in front of us, and the joy of the first victory was diluted a lot, and there was silence in the big tent, and everyone was frowning and pondering.

How to fight the next battle, this is also a question that Lin Wanrong has been thinking about, with Lu Dongzan's intelligence, he will never make a second mistake. The Turks marched steadily, slowing down, but increasing in might. The pressure on Dahua will be even greater.

"Military division, if our army sets up a position and fights a decisive battle with the Hu people. What are the odds?" Zuoqiu pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and asked.

Miss Xu shook her head slightly: "In terms of numbers alone, the Hu people are on par with our army. Our army had an advantage in firearms and crossbows, but the Turkic cavalry was more powerful in individual combat. The vast desert is unsafe. If there is a decisive battle, our army's chance of victory is less than fifty percent. The Turks are probably looking forward to this moment as well. ”

The decisive battle is no way out, until the last moment. It must not be used lightly, Zuoqiu sighed.

Lin Wanrong's eyes blinked, and he suddenly said: "Military Division, this Helan Mountain Canyon is naturally steep, and it is a necessary place for the Hu people to march into the Central Plains.

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone object: "General Lin, you can't be arrogant if you win the battle." You know. There are two Grand Canyons in the north-south direction of Helan Mountain, so how can we abide by the law?"

"Can't you keep two of them?" Lin Wanrong smiled faintly: "If you say so, brother, because there are too many mouths in the Helan Valley, I can't defend Dahua, so I can only let the Hu people drive straight in and capture Xingqing Mansion?"

When it comes to eloquence, Yu Zongcai is his opponent, this rebuttal suddenly made Deputy Marshal Yu have nothing to say.

Xu Zhiqing nodded and said, "The two canyons can be defended, but our forces are going to be dispersed. The Turks can take any one of them, concentrate their forces and storm it, and the initiative will fall into their hands. ”

"Xu Junshi, the Turks are going south, these two canyons must take one of them, whether you want to or not, and whether you are active or passive, in order to defend Xingqing Mansion, we must guard these two intersections. Am I right?!" Lin Wanrong's eyes burned, staring at Miss Xu's cheek.

What are you staring at me like this? Xu Zhiqing glanced at him a few times, her cheeks were slightly red: "Yes, these two canyons, our army will defend them." Why, do you want to plant the explosives and blow them up again? That Hu man suffered a loss last time, and I'm afraid he won't be fooled this time. ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Xu Junshi is so smart, he saw through my tricks so quickly, if the Hu people are as smart as you, then we will be finished."

Xu Zhiqing glanced at him angrily: "What tricks do you have, say it quickly!"

Lin Wanrong said with a serious expression: "Xu Junshi, if all 200,000 Turks attack, our army will hold these two canyons, in your opinion, how many days can we hold on?"

Xu Zhiqing pondered for a long time before saying: "Holding the canyon is not better than defending the city, unless the canyon is blown up, otherwise, our army can only hold on for three days."

Blowing up the canyon can certainly slow down the pace of the Turks, but at the same time, it also blocks the throat road leading to the desert in Xingqing, discarding the five plains, and giving Helan Mountain to the Turks. The 300,000 army had only one way to retreat to Xingqing Mansion. Once the Hu people cleaned up the canyon, Xingqing Mansion would no longer have any natural dangers to defend, and it would be alone under the Hu people's iron horses, which was tantamount to drinking water to quench their thirst.

The significance of Helan Mountain to Dahuadi is by no means just a majestic mountain, it is the junction of farming and nomads, and it is the guardian of Dahuadi Tianguan, which is of extraordinary psychological significance to the soldiers.

Everyone understood this truth, and as soon as they heard that the canyon was going to be blown up, their faces changed in unison.

"Three days?" Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she clapped her hands violently and said: "Horizontal and vertical are death, three days is three days." Master Xu, I have a plan. ”
