Chapter 134: Sniper Battle

"Zhou Jun, vulnerable!"!

After returning to Xiangyang City, Fu Ao, the commander of the White Water Army, expressed his opinion with disdain. After all, they won another battle today, and counting the results of the previous days, now the White Water Army has won five battles against the Zhou Army, which is really a brilliant result.

In this way, it is no wonder that Fu Ao despised Zhou Bing.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Chen Zhaozhengse, commander of the First Army of the White Water Army, said, "The Great Liang Army is by no means a rabble, and the Jizhou soldiers are the strongest soldiers in the Great Zhou Army・・・・・・"

"So what?" Fu Ao pursed his lips and sneered when he heard this, "In front of my White Water Army, it's not five battles and five defeats?" ”

"That's because of the presence of the thunder boss!" Chen Zhao frowned and glanced at Fu Ao, secretly anxious in his heart.

Maybe Fu Ao didn't see it very thoroughly because of the relationship between leading the troops in front, but he Chen Zhao commanded the whole army in place of the thunder today, and he could see it clearly, the Zhou soldiers seemed to be defeated, but it was just a slight defeat, and even, when the soldiers were defeated and retreated, they were also calm, the banners were not chaotic, the formation was not scattered, and the broken soldiers and horses were left in advance to eliminate the possibility of the thunder taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

What does this mean? This means that Zhou Bing was not discouraged, let alone collapsed, because of these five defeats.

Just when Chen Zhao and Fu Ao were arguing about Zhou Bing, the general of the White Water Army, Zhen Lei, rode a war horse and slowly entered from the East City Gate, he seemed to have heard the conversation between Chen Zhao and Fu Ao, and asked with a chuckle, "What's wrong?" ”

"Thunder Boss!"

"General!"

Chen Zhao and Fu Ao clenched their fists together and saluted to the thunder, and after that, Chen Zhao concisely recounted his and Fu Ao's words to the thunder, only to hear the thunder nodding frequently.

"Not bad! ――Chen Zhao is right, don't underestimate Zhou Bing! Turning over and dismounting, he handed the reins to the guards with him, and said with a thunderous appearance, "Among the Zhou soldiers, there are many generals who are good at fighting, Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Tang Hao, and the Zhou general Zhang Dong who intends to encircle and kill my generation with an infantry phalanx today... Hehehe! ”

Seeing that the thunder was saying this, Fu Ao stopped his mouth in a daze, after all, he knew very well that among the three of him, Chen Zhao and Huang Shou, the thunder was the most important to Chen Zhao, just like his lord Qin King Li Shen's heavy thunder, because Chen Zhao was the most in line with the temperament of the thunder.

"Boss Thunder looks good today!" Noticing the smile on the face of the thunder, Chen Zhao chuckled and said, "The last general can see it clearly in this formation, and the boss of the thunder is domineering in killing all directions......

"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, he laughed and could see that he was in a good mood today, and he was obviously much better than when he usually commanded the troops and horses.

It's no wonder that after all, Jin Lei is a pure martial artist, and if it weren't for the special circumstances, he didn't want to sit in the rear to supervise all kinds of changes on the battlefield, in contrast, he was more inclined to fight on the edge of life and death.

In all fairness, for Liu Qing, the current military advisor of Zhou Bing, the thunder is also quite fearful, after all, Liu Qing used her wisdom to make Qin Wangjun lose too many troops. Therefore, when Jin Lei and Li Shen, the king of Qin, divided their troops and fought against Xie An's Zhou army alone, he was also wary of Liu Qing's tricks.

No, the first four battles and thunderstorms were all in the rear as the coach.

However, to his surprise, Liu Qing did not make any unusual moves this time, and commanded the soldiers and horses step by step, as if trying to defeat the White Water Army under the command of Thunder on the frontal battlefield.

Noticing this, the thunder was a little unable to sit still, after all, sitting in the rear and watching the soldiers under his command fight with the enemy, starting the kind of fight on the edge of life and death, this is really a great temptation for the thunder.

Therefore, after supervising the battle for four days, Chen Zhao, the commander of the First Army under his command, asked Chen Zhao, the commander of the First Army, to command the troops and horses in his place, while he himself rushed to the battlefield as a general.

Joyfully! That's what he wanted!

He prefers to experience hoarse and hearty battles rather than winning battles, the tension on the battlefield that seems to be on the blade, the excitement of being surrounded by enemies, really makes the thunder fascinated, so that it has been nearly an hour since the end of the war, and the thunder is still intoxicated with that pleasure, and has not yet regained the calm of the ancient wells without waves on weekdays.

Of course, this does not mean that the thunder will miss or neglect anything, and for today's war, there are some things that the thunderstorm should also ask to understand.

"Today, you are commanding the whole army on behalf of my generation, but what is wrong? - Forget it, tell me the whole story of the battle, and don't leave any of it behind! ”

"Yes!" Chen Zhao hugged his fists and told Zhen Lei all the movements of the Zhou soldiers in today's battle and his response strategy to it, including the fact that Liu Qing had sent Zhou general Qi Hao to attack his White Water Army's main formation in a roundabout way.

"Huh? - Are you saying that when our generation was rushing to kill the enemy's formation, the Zhou soldiers sent a detachment of soldiers and horses to attack your own formation? ”

"Yes!"

“… Hearing this, Thunder frowned, and his intuition comparable to Liang Qiuwu's intuition told him that there might be some crucial reason for this matter, but unfortunately, at this moment, Thunder Thunder's mind was still full of the same joyful fighting as Fang, and he couldn't think of anything wrong with it after thinking about it for a long time.

Noticing the look of surprise on his face, Chen Zhao hurriedly said, "But the last general is also on guard against this matter, and he repelled that Zhou army in three strokes and two blows!" ”

Hearing this, Array Lei nodded and said, "Well, that's good, don't be drilled by Zhou Bing Confucius ......" After that, he glanced at Chen Zhao, but he didn't tell too much, after all, Chen Zhao is also a fierce general who is good at commanding the army, and he is not inferior to Fei Guo and Ma Dan among the Zhou soldiers, so Array Lei is not worried that he will easily suffer in the hands of Liu Qing.

It's just that......

For some reason, Thunder was always a little uneasy, pacing back and forth in the house with his hands on his back! Bu murmured and said, "Attacking our army's main formation... Then why did Liu Qing frequently attack our army's capital? - She should know that this trick will not work against our army...

It is no wonder that the thunder felt puzzled, after all, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the thunder afterwards, in the battle a few days ago, Liu Qing sent the general to lead the army to attack the main formation of the Baishui Army from time to time, but it is a pity that the commander of the Baishui Army at that time, the thunder, with his amazing insight into the battlefield, often Liu Qing sent the strange soldiers before bypassing the central Baishui Army to attack the rear, and they were blocked by the reinforcements sent by the thunder in time.

In other words, Liu Qing's surprise attack a few days ago did not even touch the main formation of the White Water Army, and it was not until today that the White Water Army replaced Chen Zhao to command the soldiers and horses and Zhou general Qi Hao in place of the formation of Lei that he was able to approach the main formation of the White Water Army, but Chen Zhao was also an experienced and good general, although the reaction was far inferior to the formation of thunder, but it was not easy for Liu Qing to drill Confucius.

Hearing the muttering of the thunder, Fu Ao guessed, "Chief General, the last general thinks, is it that Liu Qing saw the General General rushing to the front today, so he wanted to try again to see if he could use this tactic to disrupt our army......"

I have to say that Fu Ao's guess is very close to Liu Qing's plan, but unfortunately, his words are the suspicion of the thunder that has shifted to another direction.

"I was underestimated by that Liu Qing, Chen Zhao!" Thunder laughed and teased Chen Zhao.

Misled by Fu Ao's words, Array Lei mistakenly thought that Liu Qing was just targeting Chen Zhao, but he never expected that Liu Qing was actually targeting him.

Even, everything that happened in the past few days was decided by Liu Qing after deep thought, and he did not hesitate to let Zhou Bing pay four defeats, waiting for him to be a general, not a commander......

At the same time, in the tent of the commander of the Zhou army's camp, Xie An and Liu Qing were discussing how to snipe the general of the White Water Army.

"It should be certain, when the thunder is a general, he doesn't have the calmness he was when he was handsome, and to put it mildly, he is just a reckless man with some brains... ・・・Far easier to deal with than when he was handsome! Holding the tea handed over by Qin Ke'er, Liu Qing said in a deep voice, "So if you want to snipe the thunder, it is necessary to lure him out, this is the most critical premise!" ”

"Lured out?" Xie An let out a long breath.

To be honest, although he is optimistic about Liu Qing's plan to snipe and kill the thunder, Xie An really doesn't feel any confidence in how to make the thunder a general instead of a commander. After all, the choice of this kind of thing lies in the thunder, whether he wants to be a charging general or the commander of the army, it is all up to his own ideas, how can Xie An and Liu Qing be influenced?

But then again, in fact, Xie Anxin was also secretly glad that although the intuition of the thunder was comparable to that of the Liangqiu dance, there was a huge difference between the two.

Liang Qiu Wu's intuition knows no occasion, as long as she can be fully focused, and there is a strong sense of survival ** in her heart, then it is possible for her to reach that state, even in the most dangerous places on the battlefield, she can still be able to understand the entire battle situation.

The only regret is that because of the relationship between the stunt of the family, Liang Qiu Dance is in a situation of strongly suppressing the anxious mood in his heart almost every moment, and he can't achieve the state of mind that seems to be the unity of heaven and man in Taoism every time. However, once he enters that state, he is definitely the most terrifying opponent that even Changsun Xiangyu can't do.

And the thunder is obviously different from Liangqiu Dance, this rare talent for decades, seems to be able to maintain an amazing intuition that is difficult for ordinary people to have at any time, except in one case, when he releases his instinct as a military general and is keen to fight on the battlefield・・・・・・

In this regard, Xie An was deeply grateful, after all, if the thunder was like Liang Qiu Wu, even in the most dangerous environment on the battlefield, he could maintain that amazing intuition that ordinary people did not have, then it would be an impossible task to snipe this person.

But then again, it seems that the current situation is not at all stable.

"You think well・・・・・・" It seemed to see Xie An's worries, Liu Qing said with a straight face, "How to lure the thunder into battle, this is the biggest problem in sniping this person!" That guy is not a pure reckless man, and we can only calculate him when he is on the battlefield, and his mind is full of how to kill the enemy, otherwise, if he realizes that something is wrong, the whole plan will be completely ruined! ”

"Have you figured out a solution?" Xie An looked at Liu Qing deeply.

I saw Liu Qing take a sip of tea, a glimmer of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "There is a way, as for the grasp...... Give it a try! ”

"Try it・・・・・・ you?" Xie An frowned slightly, but he didn't say much, after all, Thunder was not an ordinary person, if this person was really so easy to deal with, would he still need Liu Qing's hard thinking?

In the next three days, the Zhou army Xie An's army was completely silent, and this abnormal phenomenon made the generals of the White Water Army a little worried, wondering if Liu Qing, the military commander of the Zhou army, was planning some conspiracy

In order to prevent the Zhou army from attacking the west, he sent people to the south of Xiangyang City to contact Li Shen, the king of Qin, and learned that Xie An's Zhou soldiers did not secretly return to the south of Xiangyang City to help Li Cheng, the king of Anling, to capture the southern city wall of Xiangyang.

It's no wonder he's so careful, after all, the 50,000 Baishui troops are currently stationed at the east gate of Xiangyang City, confronting Xie An's 60,000 Zhou soldiers, but most of the siege equipment in the Zhou army is in the hands of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, on the battlefield south of the city. If Xie An came up with a plan to attack the east and west, and secretly detoured back to the south of Xiangyang City without the White Water Army noticing, and assisted Li Cheng, the king of Anling, to storm the southern city wall of Xiangyang, don't look at the high and strong city wall of Xiangyang, there is no possibility of falling.

However, Xie An's Zhou soldiers don't seem to have this intention! Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was November 15, three days later! The Xie An Department of the Zhou army finally moved, in addition to leaving thousands of people to guard the camp, it actually went out and lined up in the east of Xiangyang City.

"I see・・・・・・ I haven't seen any movement for three days, is it actually to revive morale?" Standing on the east gate of Xiangyang, the general of the White Water Army, Zhen Lei, smiled with relief, and after carefully looking at the Zhou soldiers under the city, he muttered, "Interesting, then Xie An is pouring out this time, it seems that he is going to start a final decisive battle with our army!" ”

"How can you have this confidence!" Fu Ao, the commander of the Third Army of the White Water Army, sneered and said, "Five battles and five defeats, how can you believe in a decisive battle with our army?" ”

Hearing this, Array Lei smiled slightly and said lightly, "It is precisely because of five battles and five defeats that we have to win a victory to stabilize the morale of the army!" - That Liu Qing was born in the Taiping Army and gained a firm foothold in the Zhou Army with the help of many previous victories, and now that she has been defeated repeatedly, she will inevitably be questioned by the Zhou Army・・・・・・ no wonder she is so unbreathable! ”

It seems to be a guess that is quite in line with the facts, but in fact, the thunder is misunderstood. It's no wonder, after all, he didn't know the relationship between Liang Qiuhao and Xie An, and only thought that Liu Qing had to switch to Zhou Jun in order to survive or something else. Therefore, he subconsciously felt that Liu Qing's repeated defeats would definitely threaten her position in the Zhou army, and he was even abandoned by the Zhou army because of this. If it really became like that, the thunder would have laughed three times, laughing at Zhou Bing's self-destruction of the Great Wall. After all, in the eyes of Array Lei, only Liu Qing in the Zhou army can be regarded as a threat to him.

By the way, because of Xie An's relationship, in fact, Liu Qing's position in the Zhou army is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Do you want to go out of the city to fight the Zhou soldiers?" Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, said in a deep voice, "The chief general, the last general feels that there is no need for our army to fight with the Zhou soldiers!" -- The siege equipment that the Zhou army supervised a while ago was all in the army of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, in the battlefield south of the city. ”

"You're right!" Array Lei nodded, and then said lightly, "It's just that if our army doesn't fight, the previous advantage will be lost...... Give Zhou Bing a chance to boost his morale in vain, is that good? ”

Huang Shouyan's face froze when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Yes・・・・・・ it's the last general who has not considered it!" ”

From the side, Chen Zhao and Fu Ao glanced at each other, and nodded secretly in response to the words of the thunder.

You must know that the White Water Army is now winning five battles and five victories, which is definitely a lot of mental pressure for the Zhou soldiers, and if the Zhou soldiers come out today, but the White Water Army does not go out of the city to fight, as the thunder said, the deterrent power established by the previous five battles and five victories may be gone.

What is the most important thing in the battle between the two armies? Isn't it morale?

Glancing at the Zhou soldiers in the distance under the city, the thunder waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Pass the order and go out of the city to fight!" ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, Chen Zhao, today you are still in charge of the troops and horses in this formation on behalf of my generation, and there must be no mistake

"Yes!"

Just when the thunder ordered to arrange the matters of going out of the city to deal with the battle, in the main formation of the Zhou army under the city, Xie An was looking at the east gate of Xiangyang City with a worried face.

Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army of the White Water Army, said well, in view of the lack of sufficient siege equipment in Xie An's army, in fact, there is no need for the White Water Army to go to the appointment to fight, just like today, the White Water Army can completely avoid the battle.

And this is exactly what Xie An is afraid of.

As if he saw Xie An's thoughts, Liu Qing, who was standing on the commander's chariot with him, said indifferently, "Don't worry, the White Water Army will definitely go out of the city to fight, as long as they still want to keep the honor of five battles and five victories a few days ago!" If we don't come out of the war this time, won't we be afraid of our army? ―That thunder won't give our army a chance to boost morale! ”

"That's ・・・・・・," Xie An nodded in realization.

"Moreover, in terms of the character of the thunder, he who claims to be a martial artist will never escape the challenges of others! This is contrary to his principles as a warrior... ・・・”

丨Have you already figured out the character of that thunder to this point? 丨

Xie An glanced at Liu Qing in surprise and said in a low voice, "Then do you think that he is fighting this time for the sake of the general?" ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Qing's face as if he had succeeded in his scheme, and he lowered his voice and said, "My 60,000 Zhou soldiers are out of the nest, vainly trying to win a battle and reverse the disadvantage of the previous five defeats, and want to fight to the death with the White Water Army・・・・・・ such a big scene is definitely different from the small fights in the past few days, Lord Xie thinks, is that thunder more enthusiastic about being a handsome or a general."

“… Following Liu Qing's line of sight, he glanced at the Xiangyang East City Gate, which had been slowly opened, Xie An suddenly felt that this question was no longer necessary, after all, the first person who appeared under the city gate was the general of the White Water Army, who was sitting on a war horse, carrying a long-handled war knife, with a strong battle intent on his face.

"The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, ......" Glancing at the clear sky, Liu Qing licked her slightly dry lips and said in a low voice, "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, whether you can snipe the thunder or not, it depends on the will of heaven......"

"I hope everything goes well・・・・・・" Xie An sighed slightly, praying secretly in his heart.

After all, it is now November 15th, and there is only half a moon left before the plan to destroy Li Shen, the king of Qin, if he can't eradicate the thunder today, Xie An is really not sure if he can end the rebellion of the three kings in half a month and turn to support Li Xian, the king of the eight sages in Jiangdong.

"Knock knock!!"

The drums of the two armies thundered, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
