Chapter 518: Go to War

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! This sentence came out of other people's mouths, and it was somewhat suspicious of clichΓ©s, but Liang Xiao said it, but it was so natural and confident. The trajectory of his success is the best interpretation of "the brave wins when the narrow road meets", and his champion Marquis is the best proof of this.

Zhao Yingqi was heartbroken. With a few victories and more famous generals, Megatron is too lethal for him. More importantly, there is a successful model in front of him, which is not an untouchable phantom, but a real possibility.

Liang Xiao can do it, why can't I? In terms of identity, I'm three points better than him. When he first went to the Western Regions, there were less than ten horsemen around him, but now there are four or five hundred horsemen around him. He was just a commoner, but I was the crown prince of South Vietnam.

Can I lose to him?

Zhao Yingqi took a deep breath, his chest slowly straightened up, and the whole person seemed to be full of breath, a little more majestic. He stared at Liang Xiao and said word by word: "Junhou, I'm ready." You say, what to do? ”

Liang Xiao smiled, his eyes showing a little relief. He reached out and patted Zhao Yingqi's shoulder, leaning into his ear and muttering a few words. Zhao Yingqi listened, nodded again and again, and smiled. He raised his thumbs and praised repeatedly: "Junhou, high, really high!" After speaking, he clenched his fists with both hands, arched his hands, and flirted with a dashing hand, turned around, held his head high, like a brocade pheasant about to go into battle, majestic and high-spirited.

Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Yingqi's back and quietly exhaled.

If you want to defeat the strong with the weak and win more with less, will is the key. He led twenty horsemen to attack fiercely. Break the formation. Grab the horse. It is true that he saw Yu Shan and Jing Zhao underestimating the enemy, and wanted to give them a dismount, but the more important purpose was to motivate the frightened South Vietnamese soldiers.

These soldiers are all pampered, and they have not seen many forbidden troops who are cruel to war, and when they suddenly see so many enemies, they will inevitably panic, and they will inevitably be weak-hearted, and once they fight. Stimulated by blood and death, they are likely to be thrown into disarray, or even flee.

A soldier who sees death as his home requires not only rigorous training, but also battlefield experience. These South Vietnamese soldiers were still a long way from being true warriors. Liang Xiao couldn't wait, he had to take advantage of every opportunity, do everything he could, even at the cost of deceiving them, but also make them summon up the courage to defy the enemy. Otherwise, what awaits him can only be defeat and annihilation.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. These are Liang Xiao's words to motivate Zhao Yingqi, and it is also to motivate his own soul chicken soup. After saying this. He felt relieved, and the problems that had been bothering him were solved.

What about Yu Shan? What about the Son of Heaven? Meeting on a narrow road is nothing more than a bright sword.

――

Under a few tall and stout pomegranate trees, Zhao Yingqi gathered the generals above the rank of chief to give lectures and unify their thoughts.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! We are going to be like a nail, firmly rooted in this pomegranate ridge. Whoever dares to provoke us, even if he is a rhinoceros, we will stab him with blood. Zhao Yingqi waved his arms with a fierce expression. If there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless. Before Lao Tzu dies in battle, he must first skin and extract the bones of those cowards and break their corpses into thousands of pieces......"

The generals looked awe-inspiring, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"If this battle is successful, you will be the pillars of my South Vietnam, and I will ensure that you will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime. The sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and we will never break our promises! ”

Zhao Yingqi raised two fingers and swore to the sky with a solemn expression.

The generals looked at each other and shouted in unison: "I am willing to advance and retreat with His Highness!" ”

Liang Xiao's advice to him was very simple, with only two words: reward and punishment. Those who reward will have brave men under heavy rewards. The people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of death. If you retreat can only die a shameful death, it is better to move forward bravely and die on the battlefield with honor, and you can also make a name for yourself and seek some benefits for your children and grandchildren. Zhao Yingqi is the crown prince, he is alive, and he is rich and deceitful. If he dies, none of these soldiers will end well. As soon as Zhao Yingqi spoke, the generals all understood, the words had been clarified, the back road had been broken, and there was no other choice than to follow Zhao Yingqi and Yu Shan to fight to the end.

I believe that as long as people with a normal IQ can distinguish the importance of this. The only thing that should be considered is how to defeat Yu Shan. At this time, at the suggestion of Zhao Yingqi, Liang Xiao appeared on the stage.

"Your courage and loyalty are admirable." Liang Xiao arched his hand and looked around. "It is Liang's honor to be able to fight side by side with you."

The generals laughed, it was not easy to get a praise from the champion. When Liang Xiao trained them to ride and shoot, he scolded them for being a waste. Originally, many people still had a slanderous heart, but now that they see Liang Xiao's amazing skills, they can only admit it. At this time, Liang Xiao praised their courage, which was also a great encouragement to them.

Most of them are descendants of the Qin army and have little culture, but they have inherited the courage and blood of the Qin people, and they have also followed the Qin people's obedience to military law.

"Yu Shan has seen the power of cavalry, and I am afraid that he will not dare to fight us in a decisive battle between the valleys in the short term. As long as his brain is not bad, he will definitely choose to storm the mountain. Storming the mountains will certainly increase casualties, but it is still more cost-effective compared to the impact of cavalry. After all, they have nearly sixty times the number of troops, and they can afford to suffer heavy casualties. ”

Liang Xiao stopped and looked at the faces of the generals. Sure enough, at the thought of the sixty-fold difference in strength, the ambition they had just aroused by Zhao Yingqi was suddenly discounted, and everyone showed a look of fear. Zhao Yingqi was a little anxious, and glanced at Liang Xiao again and again, signaling that he was angry and could not be vented.

Liang Xiao turned a blind eye, he smiled faintly, and let this oppressive atmosphere slowly ferment. After all, fighting is a very realistic thing, and courage must be required, but only the courage to face reality is true courage, otherwise, once the battle begins, the illusion is broken, and it will collapse faster.

Just when this repression was about to reach its limit, oppressing everyone to the point that it was difficult to breathe, Liang Xiao chuckled. The laughter was not loud, but it was full of indescribable contempt. The South Vietnamese general couldn't help but blush and looked at Liang Xiao in embarrassment.

Liang Xiao turned his hands behind his back and turned back and forth in the tent twice. Slowly stood still. Turn around and look around. "You've heard of a husband and wife. Don't you want to open it? ”

Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other.

"Do you know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take the risk of moving the camp to Pomegranate Ridge?"

Zhao Ying comprehended it and said with a smile: "That's right, this pomegranate ridge is a favorable terrain that can be opened by a man." With such a good terrain, not to mention that Yu Shan has sixty times the number of troops, even if he has a hundred times, what can he do? He suddenly remembered Liang Xiao's experience of fighting the Evil King when he traveled west. Laugh even more. "Back then, the champion Hou defeated the four thousand elites of the Hun Evil King with ten people, and he also killed the Hun Evil King in battle, which was to take advantage of the terrain."

Everyone suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. Since Liang Xiao once used the terrain to take advantage of one to a hundred, it is not surprising that the difference in strength is sixty times. No matter how powerful Yu Shan is, can he be more powerful than the evil king on the grassland?

In fact, including Zhao Yingqi, they didn't know much about the real situation of that battle, and they didn't know how powerful the Evil King was. But in their opinion. Liang Xiao could easily defeat Yu Shan's four or five hundred people with twenty horsemen, and the evil king with four thousand horsemen was naturally even more powerful. At least it is much more powerful than Yu Shan, and the difference in strength between four hundred times is also more exaggerated than sixty times. Compared with that battle, Yu Shan's words are not enough.

One by one, the South Vietnamese generals went through a process from hope to despair, and from despair to hope, and it seemed that they had returned to the original point, but in fact there was a big difference. They are like steel knives that have been stacked at the moment, and after removing some impurities, they have become more resilient.

Liang Xiao immediately arranged tactics for them. These people were the first batch of students to receive formation training, and their understanding of formation was deeper than that of ordinary soldiers, as soon as Liang Xiao said it, they basically understood it, and nodded frequently.

Liang Xiao asked them to strengthen the training of the small formation, be sure to let the soldiers in the small formation cooperate tacitly, and at the same time strengthen the mutual care between the small formations, and make good use of the terrain around them. Only in this way can casualties be minimized. If we want to win more with less and defeat the strong with the weak, we must not only have the will to win, but also have effective tactics.

The generals listened very carefully and took them to heart. After returning to their respective battalions, they gathered their men one after another to convey their spirit and boost their fighting spirit. It not only made these ordinary soldiers aware of the hardships of the battle, but also established their confidence in victory and prepared for battle.

In the next two days, without Liang Xiao's urging, every South Vietnamese soldier was put into intense training. They assign tasks according to the demarcated defense areas, familiarize themselves with every grass and tree in their defense areas, and know what to do so that they can come and go freely and arrive quickly when necessary.

The generals did what they said.

――

A few days later, after careful consideration, Yu Shan finally made a decision and launched a strong attack on Pomegranate Ridge.

As the morning sun rose, a group of Minyue troops walked out of the camp and came to the foot of the Pomegranate Ridge to set up a formation. Probably because the shadow of the cavalry raid a few days ago was too thick, the Minyue army was very cautious, and stopped advancing a thousand steps away from the pomegranate ridge, and set up several thousand formations, all the soldiers were armed with spears and shields, and the bows were drawn to the strings, and they were waiting for the battle.

After setting up a guard formation, the other soldiers entered the position in turn. They traveled west along the south bank of the Great River, came to the front of the Pomegranate Ridge, and set up a position for the Chinese army. The four phalanxes on the front and back and left and right protected the Chinese army in position, and set up a point platform three or four zhang high. Yu Shan ascended to the stage surrounded by a group of wingmen, and sat down safely with a majestic look around, while the wingmen stood on the left and right, the two kataka sat aside with musical instruments, and the military officials stood under the stage on standby. The twenty-sided cowhide drums were lined up, and the drummers were naked, revealing their dark and knotted muscles, and their expressions were fierce.

In the sound of war drums, the soldiers who were responsible for the attack entered the position, and the 12 Minyue infantry troops of 1,000 people were divided into four sides, with 3,000 people on each side, and the finished characters were arrayed in a zigzag formation.

A total of more than 20,000 people filled the river valley, and the rear of the Chinese army even extended its position to the slopes of Henan. The rhythm of the war drums is soothing, the battle flag flutters in the wind, murderous and majestic, and it seems that the momentum alone is half the victory.

If Liang Xiao hadn't warned the South Vietnamese soldiers in advance, Yu Shan might have succeeded. There were only five hundred men on the ridge, surrounded by forty or fifty times the enemy, and there were at least five or six times as many enemies on either side, and this kind of deterrent force was absolutely impossible for people to resist. Surrounded on all sides, there is no way back, and it is a scene that can easily make people feel hopeless.

It was precisely because of the anticipation and preparation in advance that the South Vietnamese soldiers could maintain relative calm, quietly looking at the enemy under the ridge, and Liang Xiao could also talk and laugh with Zhao Yingqi. The two held clairvoyance, chatting while observing the Minyue army under the ridge.

"I only saw Yu Shan, but I didn't see Jing Zhao's battle flag, it seems that Jing Zhao is either dead, or he is too injured to be able to command the battlefield in person."

Zhao Yingqi nodded. "Yu Shan should be easier to deal with than Jing Zhao, right?"

"There are some gaps. It's all the same for us, though. No matter who comes, he will be beaten until his head is broken and his nose is blue and his eyes are swollen. Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance, sat down on the chair brought by Xia Ya, lifted Erlang's legs, and shook them gently. Your Highness, for you, Yu Shan is equivalent to the Evil King, and your chance to become famous in a fight has come. ”

Zhao Yingqi pretended to laugh relaxedly, but he couldn't hide the happiness in his heart. If it is really as Liang Xiao said, if this battle is won, he will really become famous in one fight. The opponent is the minister of Minyue, 500 against 30,000, regardless of whether Yu Shan is a waste or not, this battle will be a major victory.

"I am fortunate to be able to stand side by side with the prince and marquis."

Liang Xiao smiled and waved his hand. "I'm not going to take beauty. This battle was personally commanded by His Highness, and I swept the battle for His Highness. If necessary, I can always carry my sword into battle and serve His Highness. ”

"With the prince by my side, I'm relieved." Zhao Yingqi stood up, patted his chest, and strode towards the command platform set on the high ground, and ten guards followed closely. Zhao Yingqi stepped onto the stage, and the drummer picked up the drum and slowly beat the war drum.

The majestic war drums sounded, echoing with the war drums of the Minyue army under the ridge.

The South Vietnamese soldiers who were sticking to their respective positions turned around and looked at Zhao Yingqi on the stage, shouting long live. Zhao Yingqi raised his hand, pressed it lightly, and bowed to all sides with a smile on his face, his expression was relaxed, his bearing was calm, and he had the demeanor of a general who collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his face did not change.

"Soldiers!" Zhao Yingqi raised his right fist, took a breath of dantian qi, and shouted: "You are the strongest warriors in South Vietnam, and after the careful teaching of the champion Hou, in the past few months, you have trained hard, shed blood and sweat, for what?" ”

Although the pomegranate ridge is small, after all, it is difficult for the South Vietnamese soldiers to hear Zhao Yingqi's voice clearly. However, the chiefs of each party had rehearsed in advance, knew what Zhao Yingqi was talking about, and knew what they should do. As soon as Zhao Yingqi's voice fell, they took the lead in raising the weapons in their hands and shouted: "Break the army and kill the enemy, behead and make meritorious service!" ”

Ordinary soldiers didn't think much about it, and immediately followed their boss and shouted: "Break the army and kill the enemy, behead and make meritorious service!" ”

Four or five hundred people roared in unison, and the momentum was also very amazing, and for a time they actually suppressed the war drums of the Minyue army under the ridge. Although Liang Xiao had been mentally prepared, but after listening to these roars that vaguely carried a bit of the legacy of the Qin people, his heart also had a rare feeling of pride in his heart, although there were tens of millions of people.
