Chapter 145: Bad News Comes
"Report!" Before Ji Lianhong could reply, there was a military report outside, and the military report could not be stopped, this was a rule set by Lu Bing, although there may be a danger of being assassinated, but Lu Bing thought that such a messenger, no matter how high his martial arts were, would not be able to kill himself. Although he is now unfamiliar with martial arts, Lu Bing still has this confidence, and he has practiced martial arts to this point, as long as he is not fighting to the death, if he wants to run the world, no one can stop him. Therefore, in order to receive the military report as much as possible, Lu Bing decided to let the military newspaper go directly to his face, and the Tongguò post station delivered it day and night, so sometimes, the military report arrived one step faster than Jinyiwei's information.
Lu Bing, Duan Qingfeng, and Ji Lianhong on the top of the main hall stood up together, and all three of them had a bad premonition in their hearts. Lu Bing took the military report, asked the man to step back, then took a deep breath and opened the military report, and then his eyes were wide open for a long time before he calmed down, and read: "Changling was burned in an instant, and the ministers did not know why, but it collapsed in an instant, like a disaster from heaven, and General Xu was buried in the sea of fire." Only 2,000 of the 100,000 soldiers and horses escaped from the fire, and the reason for the inquiry was unsuccessful. ”
Duan Qingfeng Ji Lianhong and the others looked at each other and were very shocked, failure is not terrible, although Xu Yang is dead, although the DPRK will be shocked, it is not an earth-shattering thing. But it is astonishing that 100,000 men and horses were destroyed and turned into fuel in the blink of an eye in a war. This news is bound to be difficult to hide, but I am afraid that this will make people panic. And the country has suffered huge losses, which even a strong new country can hardly bear. This kind of thing has been rare since ancient times, and it is bound to be caused by the faint king. I don't know if Qi Jingtong is really powerful, or if Lu Bing is not using people properly. Misused Xu Yang.
"Bastard, bastard!" Lu Bing roared: "Qi Jingtong actually killed so many of me, these waste dim sum, they don't even know how to lose, they don't even know how to lose!" ”
"Wenfu, don't go crazy, the pure yang in your body" Duan Qingfeng didn't finish speaking. I saw that Lu Bing's face was flushed, and the heat wave was churning up and down his body, and he could feel it two or three steps away. Duan Qingfeng said in his heart that it was not good. Hurriedly hit Lu Bing, using the extremely cold pure yin true qi, which was not alleviated and reconciled, although this is generally pure yang and pure yin will collide together. must have hurt Lu Bing's body. But it's better than Lu Bing's anger when pure yang gets out of control, and Yang fire burns and dies.
At this time, only Duan Qingfeng's pure yin could save Lu Bing, and fortunately Duan Qingfeng had calculated it properly, otherwise Lu Bing would definitely die. Danyangzi is right, Duan Qingfeng and Lu Bing's pure yin and pure yang complement each other, and only the other party's lives can be saved. Lu Bing's pure yang injured his body, and his yang life would definitely be damaged, while Duan Qingfeng was pure yin and had no ability to give birth. The two of them lost a lot while gaining the magic of the world, which may be the yin and yang theory that the extremes of things must be reversed or denied.
The Imperial Physician entered. Lu Bing's mouthful of blood spurted out under the persecution of pure yin true qi, Lu Bing was relieved, and the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, but Lu Bing waved his hand away. Lu Bing said: "It's okay, it's okay, Qingfeng doesn't have to worry about me anymore, I just need to recuperate myself." You hurry up and help Qi Shuhai, but there can be no more accidents, you must block the enemy army, and you must not enter the territory of our new country, otherwise the people's turmoil will become a catastrophe! ”
"Don't worry!" Duan Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw Lu Bing like this, but he didn't say much, turned around and walked like flying, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a strong wind when his figure swam by.
Ji Lianhong stepped forward and said, "Lao Lu, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, my heart hurts, my heart hurts." Lu Bing said bitterly: "My new country of 100,000 sons was destroyed in the nameless place of Changling, Qi Jingtong is ruthless, first destroy my air soldiers, and then kill so many of my people, I will definitely let him pay for his life." This is war, war is cruel, the people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the people who die are other people's sons and other people's families. I, I, I'm incompetent as a king. ”
"Damn, I'm going to kill Qi Jingtong's Manmen, they should still be in Dengzhou's hometown. Lao Lu, you can't do this thing, I can do it, let their whole family pay for our soldiers' lives. Ji Lianhong said angrily.
Lu Bing waved his hand and sighed: "Woe to the family, one yard is one yard, Old Madam Qi and I are like family." After so many deaths, I will never spare Qi Jingtong's life again, and the day I see him again one day will be his death, but this has nothing to do with his family. Okay, Lao Ji, don't come nonsense, the imperial doctor will step down, I will recuperate myself. ”
The imperial physician Emperor Wen Taowu was even more incomparable to his medical attainments, so he obeyed the order. Ji Lianhong helped Lu Bing and walked towards the inner courtyard of the deep palace. Lu Bing's seemingly tall back is actually so vulnerable, and Ji Lianhong who watched it had a sour feeling in his heart.
In fact, how did Qi Jingtong do it? He didn't have the ability to communicate with the gods, otherwise he wouldn't have been chased and killed by Xu Yang back then, this was just an overall situation arranged by Qi Jing's resourcefulness. Qi Jingtong deliberately set up ten checkpoints to confuse everyone, and blocked the Lu family's spies through the first few checkpoints, making the rest of the matter unbelievable and confusing.
When there are ten checkpoints in front of people, the enemy can't be tricky, and must be beaten one level at a time, often people's attention will focus on the first level, and the most attention to the back is also the study of the terrain and the marching route.
Qi Jingtong was an expert in leading troops to fight, so he naturally noticed this qiē and used it. Qi Jingtong began to make his big plan in the fifth level of Changling, hollowing out the city wall and pouring fire oil into the hole, and getting explosives in the hole, in the open space outside the city on the west side of the checkpoint, just smash a hole, let the air pour in, and a little spark can ignite a fire and act as a line of fire. Immediately inside the pass, all the gunpowder that had been buried long ago would be ignited and exploded. Like an anthill, the ridge had been hollowed out, with enough gunpowder fuel for a war and as much money as it cost two-thirds of the annual revenue of the remnants of the Ming regime in Bashu. However, this qiē is also worth it, at least for the remnants of the Ming, it does cause an irreparable blow to the new country.
And the manpower and migrant workers spent are transferred from Bashu for secrecy, and they have been built day and night for a long time, if it is not a generation of emperors, it is really difficult to have such manpower and financial resources. Changling is a powder keg, waiting for Xu Yangbu to enter, and then burn them to the ground. And what I did before was just to blow up this moment of Changling.
Ye Sanguan Qi Jingtong was to eliminate Xu Yangbu's air power, and Changling was also chosen because He Jiaping was not suitable for back defense at all. Therefore, the Lu family army must retreat to Changling, and at the same time, Changling is mountainous on both sides, and the secrecy is high when it is built, which can prevent secret agents from entering, and can also use the wind blows in the valley to intensify the burning of the fire. Qi Jingtong's previous retreat was not only to confuse the enemy, but also to create an atmosphere of grief and indignation in the army.
The battle in the field Sanguan is very important, and the Lu Jiajun must be taken by surprise, so that they can retreat to Changling. Therefore, it seems that this plan is well-planned, and it is actually a risky move, if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will lose the whole game, and you must think about every move in place. Qi Jingtong is right, as a general, the only criterion for measurement is victory or not, but now that Qi Jingtong has won, the winner is the king and the loser is the thief, and it makes sense to say anything.
Qi Jingtong calculated Xu Yang's military literacy, and knew that he would not be so confused that he would stop when he retreated to Hejiaping, which was far less suitable for defense than Changling, and Xu Yang still had this point. In fact, if Lu Jiajun really set up a battle in Hejiaping, even if Lu Jiajun's confidence is damaged, it will still be difficult for Remnant Ming to win this battle, after all, there is still a difference in strength between the two. Therefore, Qi Jingtong not only took advantage of Xu Yang's shortcomings in underestimating the enemy, but also took advantage of Xu Yang's ability to fight, this is the ability that a profound general should have, fully understanding the enemy and making full use of the enemy, this is knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles. Xu Yang did what he did right, but the only mistake was that he met the more clever Qi Jingtong.
Qi Jingtong lured Lu Jiajun to Yesan Pass in order to make the enemy take it lightly, so that he could lure the enemy deep into annihilating the hot air balloon in the air in one fell swoop. These large bows and crossbows are really not suitable for carrying back and forth, and if they are easy to be damaged in battle, they are too heavy, and they are very expensive and inconvenient to transport. Therefore, the role of Ye Sanguan is only to destroy the air power of the Lu family's army, and there is no need to say much about the hidden weapons and hidden strengths, and these schemes suddenly burst out.
In fact, Changling's explosion plan can be used whenever it wants, because whether the Lu Jiajun will retreat to Changling or not, they will pass through here sooner or later, and this plan will be implemented sooner or later.
As for why the ground was blown up first with artillery fire, it was because the ditch used as a fire was buried very deep, and if it was too shallow, it was afraid that the Lu family would make a hollow sound or collapse when they passed by, and the plan would be exposed.
Although the explosion in Changling can be done at any time, this is the best opportunity, if you just pass by Changling, I am afraid that the number of casualties will not be as large as it is now. Probably only the 10,000 horses of the Lu family army will be injured and killed, and the Lu family army will be cut into two sections, so you can take advantage of the panic and inability to support and annihilate half of them, but you will always increase the casualties on your own side. Therefore, now like this, although Qi Jingtong is also a little unbearable, he feels that he is too ruthless and brutal, but after all, he is his own master, and he can't take care of so much, and the effect is indeed remarkable, except for the more than 100 people who were injured by Xu Yang's long-range shot, there is almost no loss, and it can be said that Lu Jiajun's 100,000 lives were killed without being injured.
