Chapter 511: Momentum
Zhao Yingqi was relieved and went to rest easily. The big stone in Liang Xiao's heart was heavier, almost overwhelming him.
He can be like what he said to Zhao Yingqi, burn the chakra with a fire, pat his ass and leave. But that wasn't his goal, otherwise, he could have done it now, and he wouldn't have to be under so much pressure at all.
He originally expected Zhao Guang to put some pressure on Jing Zhao so that he could not attack him with all his strength, but now it seems that the contradictions within the Zhao family are not small, and Zhao Guang is very likely to not save him when he sees the situation, and maybe he will fall into the ground.
He even suspected that Jing Zhao knew about his existence so quickly, maybe it was the news revealed by Zhao Guang.
In these days, no one can believe it.
Zhao Guang couldn't count on it, so he could only pin his hopes on Han Anguo and Wei Qing. However, to be honest, don't look at his arrangement for Han Shuo to greet him, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart at all. Whether the Son of Heaven agreed to their plan, how many people and ships were arranged, and whether he could arrive in time for Huiji, these were all questions, as long as something went wrong, he didn't expect to see the Han army's building ship appear in front of him.
It seems that in the end, you have to rely on yourself.
Late at night, Liang Xiao thought repeatedly in the big tent.
"Master, haven't you practiced all night today?" Xia walked in and was a little surprised to see that Liang Xiao was still pacing back and forth.
Liang Xiao didn't raise his head, and said casually: "Sigma, if you were Jingping, what would you do now?" ”
Thea's eyes darkened and she was silent. Liang Xiao didn't hear the answer, raised his head, and looked at Xia in confusion. "Thea. What happened to you? ”
"Nothing." Xia forced a smile and said, "Master." If I were Jingping. I'm definitely going to fight with you. So much grain and grass have been robbed by you, what are you waiting for? Wait until you carry the grain and grass away? ”
"Transported?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. yes, why should I defend here, this is not suitable for defense, I can change to a suitable place for defense. When coming from the west, there are several places suitable for garrisoning. I can transport the grain and grass there, and then wait in peace. At least don't be so scared.
Sure enough, it is clear to listen to both, and it is inevitable that a person will inevitably drill into the horns when considering problems. "Xia, you're saying it so well." Liang Xiao laughed, opened his arms, hugged Xia in his arms, and hugged him hard. "Okay, the problem is solved, I'm going to practice at night."
Thea was confused. However, she didn't ask much and walked behind Liang Xiao. I helped him untie the big gun.
Liang Xiao began to practice at night, as he did every night.
Beta and Thea stood aside. Practice on your own.
――
Almost at the same time, Jing Ping sat on the mountain next to the big camp, quietly looking at the big camp in the distance.
The night was too dark, the camp was too far away, and he couldn't really see anything. He just wanted to stand here, as if he had an advantage by standing on a high place.
Facing the senior brother Liang Xiao, he really didn't have much confidence.
Nearly 100 guards were fully armed, and their swords were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy. The opponent is a sound shooter who can shoot when he hears a sound, and they dare not be careless. Their nervousness further affected Jing Ping, making Jing Ping feel even more depressed, and the air seemed to be stagnant and out of breath.
Liang Xiao is like a mountain, pressing on his heart for many years. He never thought that he would fight against Liang Xiao one day. When this moment suddenly came, he was almost not mentally prepared at all, and he was in a mess all of a sudden.
What is Liang Xiao thinking now?
How many rides does he have?
How strong is the combat effectiveness of cavalry?
Jingping's mind was in a mess. He pondered and meditated, but could not think of a single clue. Whether it was the Wu army back then, or the current Minyue army, there was an indescribable fear of the cavalry.
Twenty-three years ago, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, raised troops and fought with the Han army, and the most harmful to the Wu army was the Han cavalry led by Li Guang.
That battle played a catalytic role in the final rout of the Wu army, and also made the cavalry an eternal shadow in the hearts of the Wu army's soldiers.
Six years ago, under the city of Huiji, Liang Xiao and Wei Qing led more than ten horsemen, successively robbed and killed the scouts and envoys of the Fujian and Yue army, and finally even robbed Zheng Er, which greatly reduced the morale of the Fujian and Yue army, and sent nearly 1,000 people to round up, but in the end it was useless.
How strong are the cavalry? Jingping didn't know. He knew only one thing: the cavalry was strong.
In the face of the unknown, people's fear tends to be doubled. Jing Ping was deeply touched at this moment. The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and even some of his hands and feet were numb. He thought about it and finally came to a conclusion: it is better to stick to it and wait for help. Although cavalry is strong, cavalry also has a well-known weakness: cavalry cannot take cities.
Jingping breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the camp. He made a decision, and early tomorrow morning, ordered the whole army to reinforce the camp again.
――
Liang Xiao finished the night practice, refreshed, felt clear-headed, active thinking, not only did not feel sleepy, but had some excess energy.
Beta and Thea also took the formula, and the slight sweat on their foreheads glistened under the light. In Liang Xiao's tent, they were all dressed coolly, only bandeau and shorts, revealing strong muscles and well-defined abdominal muscles. There was also some sweat on his body, as if he had been smeared with olive oil.
Liang Xiao suddenly moved. "Are you hot?"
"Hot." Beta raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained: "The weather in this South Vietnam is really weird, it's still so hot in winter, if it's in Chang'an, it's time to wear winter clothes." ”
"What's so strange about this, further south, there are hotter places, there is no winter at all, there are only two seasons a day: the rainy season and the dry season. The people there have saved on their clothes, and both men and women wear only a pair of shorts. ”
"And a place like this?" Beta was suspicious, looking down at her chest, her face flushing slightly. "Wouldn't that be humiliating?"
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Liang Xiao picked one up with one hand and walked out of the tent. "Let's go, go out and take a shower, cool off."
"Now?"
"Now."
Beta wanted to ask again, but Thea glanced at her and lowered her gaze. glanced at Liang Xiao. Beta followed her gaze. I couldn't help but smile. Didn't say anything.
The moon is like a jade plate, the river water is cool, and after taking a ******** peach blossom bath, Liang Xiao opened his arms and lay on the grass by the river, looking at the deep night sky, and suddenly laughed.
"Master, what are you laughing at?"
"You say. How about we go to Jingping's camp now and kill him? ”
"How is this possible? Didn't you say that Jingping was a cautious person? Since we are cautious, how can we leave such a flaw, so that we can easily touch the edge of his big tent. I'm afraid that he was discovered before he got close to his camp. ”
Liang Xiao didn't say anything. If half of what they said is true, then Beta's guess is roughly reliable. It can be seen from Jingping's performance today that he, like his father, is a cautious person. The prudent person does not seek victory, but seeks not to win. They may not have any ideas. There is no beautiful battle to win more with less, but it will not show obvious flaws.
Deal with such people. What kind of method should be used?
Liang Xiao unexpectedly stood in Jingping's perspective and began to consider Jingping's possible approach. Although he didn't know Jingping well enough, he knew someone who was more cautious and had worked with him for a while.
Cheng doesn't know.
From a certain point of view, Jingping father and son are the same people as Cheng Buzhi, and there are similarities in the way they think about problems. Referring to Cheng Buzhi's method of using troops, we can roughly guess Jingping's state of mind at the moment.
Liang Xiao thought as he chatted with Beta and Xia, asking them to help him analyze it, so as not to appear too obvious wishful thinking. After some discussion, he felt more confident.
Early the next morning, Liang Xiao sent someone to invite Zhao Yingqi.
"Your Highness, I'm going to move the camp."
"Shifting camps?" Zhao Yingqi hadn't woken up yet, and was a little ignorant. "Okay, why move camp? Jingping was watching from the side, what if he suddenly attacked? ”
"Without the certainty of victory, it is unlikely that he will attack." Liang Xiao said. He had analyzed it in the middle of the night last night, and felt that it was more certain that it would succeed in moving the camp than standing still. "Jingping now has about two thousand foot soldiers, and even if he attacks, he won't have any advantage at all. But when his father Jing Zhao came with a large army, it was not so easy for us to move the camp again. ”
Zhao Yingqi sobered up a little, nodded, and agreed.
"Let the prisoners in the camp be coolies, with 100 cavalry as overseers, and the remaining 400 cavalry to monitor Jingping. As long as we are given two days, before Jing Zhao arrives, we can transport enough grain and grass for us to last a month to the Pomegranate Ridge in front. Well, it's the mountain where a lot of pomegranates grow. The terrain there is more suitable for garrisoning. ”
Zhao Yingqi remembered that the mountain range was just a few miles west of Daying. There were still five or six hundred captives in the camp, and there were enough carts, and if the carts were drawn by horses, it would be more than enough to transport a thousand men and horses for a month in two days.
"And what about the rest?"
"If Jing Zhao arrives two days later and launches an attack, then we will burn this grain and grass. If he doesn't attack, then we'll move slowly, as much as we can. ”
"Okay!" Zhao Yingqi weighed for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Liang Xiao immediately made arrangements for Zhao Yingqi to arrange his capable subordinates, with a hundred cavalry, to supervise the prisoners to transport grain and grass, and to establish a defensive position in Pomegranate Ridge, and he and Zhao Yingqi led four hundred cavalry out of the camp and forced to Jingping's camp. Zhao Yingqi was a little nervous, but when he thought that Jingping had no cavalry, even if there was a battle, they would have enough speed to retreat, he reluctantly agreed.
Crossing the river, there are still more than three miles away from the mountain, Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance, observed the Minyue camp in the distance, and suddenly felt a little strange.
People come and go in the Minyue camp, and they are busy, as if they are doing some projects. Liang Xiao was puzzled. When the two armies were facing each other, Jingping was condescending, and he already had enough geographical advantages, so why did he need to strengthen the camp?
Does he want to stay here permanently, or is he insecure and afraid that I will attack him? Liang Xiao thought about it for a while and vetoed the former. There was already a Pukui Pass in the valley behind Jingping, and it seemed that there was no need for him to be stationed here.
Although Liang Xiao welcomed Jingping's mentality, he was not completely sure. He thought about it for a moment and decided to test it further. He said to Zhao Yingqi: "Your Highness, I want to go to the front of the formation to meet Jingping, can you sweep the formation for me?" ”
"You want to duel with Jingping in front of the formation?" Zhao Yingqi laughed. "I don't think he dare, you're a big brother, a real sound shooter."
"No, I want to explore Jingping's reality. Now we are afraid of beating wolves with hemp sticks, and no one can figure out whose bottom line. If we can take the initiative, we may be able to seize some opportunities and buy some time. ”
After listening to Liang Xiao's words, Zhao Yingqi realized that Liang Xiao was not joking, but really wanted to go forward. He was so frightened that his face changed, and he hurriedly stopped him. "Never. Prince, if something happened to you, how did you get it? ”
Liang Xiao smiled. He knew that Zhao Yingqi pinned all his hopes on him. If he really had an accident, Zhao Yingqi would immediately stop cooking. However, Jing Ping didn't know about this situation, would he believe in this relationship between him and Zhao Yingqi, and would he believe that he was the heart and soul of these cavalry?
In Jing Ping's eyes, the crown prince Zhao Yingqi should be the core of this South Vietnamese cavalry, and he is at most just a military strategy. No matter how clever he was, it was impossible for Nanyue to hand over a cavalry to him for command, and it was impossible for the prince of Nanyue to be his lieutenant.
This is exactly the case, but Zhao Yingqi was brainwashed by him more successfully and became a brainless fan.
"Your Highness, rest assured, with you as my backing, Jingping doesn't dare to do anything to me." Liang Xiao said, looking at the surrounding terrain, and asked Zhao Yingqi to lead the four hundred cavalry to stop on the mountains on both sides, condescending, ready to launch an attack in the shortest possible time, and use the slope to accelerate, and at the same time conceal the troops, so that Jing Ping could not see their true strength clearly.
Only by being virtual and real can we create a sense of mystery. For those who are cautious by nature, mystery is a source of fear.
After arranging Zhao Yingqi and others, Liang Xiao led Alexander and others to the mountain where Jingping was camped. Walking closer, Liang Xiao saw more clearly, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. Seeing it, Jingping was very nervous, and got up early in the morning to strengthen the camp. How scared is this, you're already on the mountain, can I still rush up?
Sure enough, it will be the courage of the three armies. One general has a weak heart, and the three armies are angry.
Seeing that a cavalry had crossed the river and approached the camp, the officers and men of the Minyue Army informed Jingping early. Jing Ping put on his helmet and armor, and came to the front of the battle under the protection of the guard battalion, looking at Liang Xiao, who believed in the horses under the ridge and looked calm, and his heart was mixed.
I haven't seen him for six years, and the senior brother of the year is now heroic, exuding a majesty that people dare not look at, and although he is standing on the mountain, his legs are weak, and he always feels a little shorter.
Liang Xiao walked slowly all the way, and saw that the door of the large camp of the Minyue army was closed, and there was no sign of going out of the camp to fight, and the last trace of worry in his heart was also put down. Zheng Fang is right, Jingping is indeed a cautious faction, and he does not have the courage to fight him head-on, even if he has a clear advantage in strength.
"Niu'er, go tell Jingping, I want to catch up with him."
Tu Niu'er answered, kicked the war horse lightly, came to the bottom of the ridge, and shouted loudly-
