Xuzi followed the footsteps of Liukou, from Linshan to Fengshan, from Fengshan to Yingxian.

In the past month, the county soldiers fought at least twenty battles under the command of Qin Shubao. Every game is a complete victory. The enemy army became weaker and weaker the more they fought, and in the end they did not dare to turn back at all, but just desperately fled, fled, fled. escaped from Beihai County, escaped the wilderness at the junction of Qi, Lu and Beihai counties, escaped from Ying County of Lu County, and went all the way into the dense forest at the foot of Dai Mountain.

Qin Shubao is a qualified general, even if Xu Zi examines his tactical arrangements with the eyes of the soldiers, he feels impeccable. "Lord Zhang Xutuo has a discerning eye for talent!" Xuzi was impressed in his heart. Although he could clearly feel the rejection of some low-level officers in the government soldiers, he could also clearly feel that Qin Shubao had regarded himself as a potential opponent.

The competition between the two has so far been controlled by the contest between men, and Qin Shubao knows how to measure and take into account the overall situation. Xuzi is also careful to grasp that this is not too much for herself. The most direct consequence of this contest is that the entire process of suppressing bandits will be greatly accelerated. In the original plan, everyone thought that it would be at least May to completely wipe out the remnants of Beihai County, but by mid-April, a large number of rogues had disappeared in Beihai County.

"Now that the imperial court has allowed us to cross the border to pursue, let's stop tying our hands and feet. This battle will be fought for at least two years of peace! Lest we walk on the front foot, the rabbit cubs will come back on the back foot and spoil it! After learning the news that the largest group of rogues who had fled back to the old camp in Niushan had moved, Luo Shixin suggested to everyone. His views were unanimously agreed by the whole army, including the county soldiers who were temporarily conscripted into the army in Beihai County, and they suddenly found that the rogues who had traveled hundreds of miles were already vulnerable, so their morale was high, and they were eager to cut down the enemy in one go.

After entering the Daishan range, the rogues regained some courage. The surrounding terrain is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. The rogues live in the mountains all year round and know how to use the woods and rocks to protect themselves. In addition, a group of bandits entrenched in Lu County also felt cold, and Starry Night rushed over to support their accomplices. After three more battles between the enemy and us, the rogues were defeated, abandoned their positions again, and fled to Womapo at the southern foot of Daishan.

"If you continue to fight like this, you won't be able to finish it for another ten or eight years!" Luo Shixin was the most anxious, and he lost patience after a few days. Fighting on the plains, his horse can be covered with the enemy's nose after every battle. Since entering the mountains, none of the three battles has won as many as the previous one.

"It won't be long before they run out of food, and although Daishan is big, it can't feed thousands of people with the game in the forest alone. At the moment, he is not afraid that there are many reinforcements surnamed Qi, but he is afraid that no one will help him consume food. Last time, Wang Bo also drilled back and forth between Daishan, and drilled to the end, didn't he obediently come out to fight with us? "Qin Shubao is very patient, and whenever Luo Shixin is so anxious that he scratches his ears and cheeks, he can find suitable words to comfort him.

"I always feel like they're playing some kind of conspiracy!" The new Beihai County Cheng Wu Qi was timid and reminded in a tentative tone.

"Conspiracy can only be effective if it matches strength!" Qin Shubao shook his head with a smile. "Our morale, numbers and supplies are far better than each other's now, and it's hard for them to play too many tricks!"

"That's right!" Everyone laughed and agreed. Liukou's combat effectiveness is not at the same level as that of Qi County's elite cavalry, even if it is a recruit from Beihai County, after more than a month of actual combat training, he will not lose to them alone against Shangliukou.

Strategically contemptuous of the enemy, in terms of specific tactics, Qin Shubao still paid enough attention to the rogues. He adopted the same tactics as Zhang Xutuo used to break Wang Bo's army back then, and set up camp at the foot of the mountain to monitor it. The cavalry maneuvered around the perimeter and was responsible for cutting off all supplies to the mountains.

If the enemy retreats to the main peak of Daishan, within three months, they themselves will starve themselves to death. If the enemy army fled down the mountain to Bo City, the army would catch up from behind and kill him again.

When not fighting, Daishan looks magnificent. Although its actual height may not be as high as the mountain peak that Asahiko saw when he came out of the fortress, it looks like it is overlooking the world because of the plains nearby. From the foot of the mountain to the main peak, more than a dozen hills, large and small, are covered with trees of different colors. When viewed from below, the color of the whole mountain is very layered. The closest to the summit is still a remnant of snow from last winter. Most of the time it is covered by clouds and mist, and occasionally the clouds open and the fog disperses, reflecting ten thousand golden lights.

It is said that the main peak of this mountain is difficult to climb, and only three people, Confucius, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, have ever reached its highest point. The story of how Confucius managed to reach the top is not recorded in the history books, and it took tens of thousands of people to reach the goal by the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. What is the scenery above the clouds, Xuzi also wants to see. However, he could not say this openly, and the lessons of the past few years had taught him to follow the rules to some extent.

So, deep down, he desperately wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. If the battle is over, he can find a reason to sneak out of the team alone. The mountaineers who had volunteered to lead the way had told him that there would be even more beautiful scenery in the depths of the mountains. Waterfalls fall from the sky, cliffs rise from the ground. There are also eagles, with wings spread out as long as the body of a war horse. Xuzi didn't think that the guide was bragging, because every day when the leader was on patrol, he could see several Heavenly Pride hovering overhead, and it was not friendly to the humans who invaded its territory, whether it was a rogue or an official army, and always used a high-pitched cry to express its protest.

"The eagle's call today is strange!" Dugu Lin tapped the stirrup with the handle of the lance and said in a low voice.

"The birds are flustered enough!" Luo Shixin added loudly. Immediately after, all the cavalry drew their weapons, and a large group of men and horses were ready to enter the mountain, Qin Shubao did not invite the county soldiers of Lu County to come to help in the battle, and the people who came must be friends and foes.

"There's a gentle slope over there, which is more suitable for us to attack!" Qin Shubao nodded diagonally forward with the long lance in his hand. All the soldiers accelerated together, and the leopards rushed to the distant hillside. The gentle slope was sparsely wooded, and the location was stuck in the main road into the mountain.

"It's another bunch of outlaws!" Asahiko led the team forward as she pulled out her black knife from behind the saddle. On the battlefield, he did not dare to have any sympathy for the rogue. In fact, after seeing what the rogues were doing in the North Sea, his sympathy for the rogues became less and less.

They were all weak people who had been bullied. But when they raised the sword, they persecuted those who were weaker by themselves. For this change in human nature, Xuzi doesn't understand it very much. In his mind, people who have experienced suffering should be more compassionate. And most of what he sees is the opposite of subjective speculation. Far from empathy, many people who have experienced suffering have a mentality that they can only vent when they see others suffer worse.

"The rogues don't know how to refine their troops, and of course they hope that the more people they have, the better. In order to raise more soldiers, they had to rob them. The robbed people have no food, so they have to go to be rogues! During the casual chat, Dugu Lin once explained why the rogues were keen to spoil the people. But Xuzi disagrees with this statement, and he always feels that there are different interpretations of the tragedies that occurred in Qi County and Beihai. But what the specific answer is, he doesn't know.

The cavalry, under the command of Qin Shubao, quickly occupied the favorable terrain. To everyone's surprise, the rogues who found themselves threatened did not form a mess like the minions under the command of Guo Fangqian and Qi Guoyuan, but on the contrary, they quickly formed a phalanx, with cavalry and infantry covering each other, and retreated to the hillside on the other side of the road. Some of the soldiers who rushed forward couldn't wait to shoot feather arrows, and they used this cavalry diffuse tactic for a month, and they didn't know how many rogue teams they had crossed. And today, after the first wave of feather arrows entered the enemy formation, the opponent's formation just trembled, and then immediately a flood of feather arrows shot back.

The rogues had the advantage in numbers, and the range of the infantry bow in their hands was slightly longer than that of the riding bow. The riders who rushed forward to harass the enemy quickly retreated, and some of them were wounded and fell off their horses in the process of retreating, and blood stained the grass red and green along the hillside. Someone shouted for support from his companions, but before the main array could react, he and his mount were already covered with feathered arrows.

The battle began almost without any preparation on either side, and as soon as they made contact, the county soldiers, who had been invincible for more than a month, suffered a small loss. The leader of the Rogue is extremely fast, and the Rogue under his command can also be called elite. This was a situation that the soldiers had never encountered before, and for a while, they simply could not adapt to the changes on the battlefield.

"Shixin, Zhong Jian, let's still harass the feather arrows first, and the horse speed can be as fast as it can! The idea is a little prickly, and there are not many flaws! Qin Shubao pointed to the left flank of the enemy army and ordered in a low voice.

The enemy platoon was a modest phalanx, with the infantry in the center, and more than 200 cavalry scattered on the flanks of the infantry. There are not many flaws in this formation, but it may not be able to withstand the mixed attack of light and heavy cavalry, which is the best of the elite soldiers of Qi County. As long as Li Xu and Luo Shixin can cause chaos among the infantry in the center, the two hundred armored cavalry under the command of Qin Shubao can step through from the front. The brave wins, regardless of courage and combat effectiveness, it is absolutely impossible for the elite of Qi County to update the fastest light fire book city I hope you join and lose to a group of bandits from afar.

Six hundred light cavalry swept down the hill like a wind, a tactic they had practiced countless times, and countless times on the enemy. Although this bit of people and horses were like wisps of green smoke on the empty slope, the murderous aura contained in the green smoke made the sunlight in the sky cold. There was no shouting, no horns and drums to cheer, and the sound of horses' hooves was the only melody in the wind. The smoke and dust brought up by the horse's hooves rolled up, faster and faster, thicker and thicker, and suddenly, the trajectory of the smoke and dust turned around, and countless sharp arrows rose into the air.

Not only the sharp arrows shot by the soldiers, but also the enemy soldiers shot white feathers all over the sky. The wind of death whistled in front of and behind the war horses, some people fell to the ground in gallops, and some ownerless war horses fled out of the battlefield with a neighing voice. Most of the soldiers were still galloping, bending their bows and arrows as they galloped.

Most of the feathered arrows shot by the rogue have lost their target, and hitting the fast-moving horses requires very good archery skills, and the minions are not trained to do so, so they have to shoot aimlessly. During the gallop, Li Xu shot three arrows, each of which took away a life. The cavalry behind him also maintained the same shooting rhythm as the main general, and most of the feathered arrows missed, but due to the dense formation of the rogues, nearly a hundred feathered arrows still hit the target.

The enemy line shook, but there was no chaos. The commander of the enemy army on his horse waved his command flag, and in the depths of the phalanx, someone raised his shield to protect the spearmen in the front row. More soldiers in the back row raised their bows and arrows and shot them at the heads of the cavalrymen moving at high speed.

"Break away, get out quickly!" Li Xu shouted, and his whole heart instantly jumped to his throat. The other party's move was too surprising, he had discussed with Zhang Xutuo and others the wolf riding tactics of the Turks with foot soldiers, and large-area coverage shooting was one of the most appropriate choices.

The cavalry quickly adjusted their direction and rushed diagonally out of the feathered arrow coverage. The rogue formation hasn't collapsed, are they still rogues? Some people were unwilling, and while riding their horses to flee for their lives, they drew their bows and shot back. This is a killing move that has been guided by Li Xu, but today this killing move is completely out of order. The scattered feathered arrows hit the shield wall like dew hitting the rocks, and they did not gain anything.

Li Xu drew his bow again a hundred paces away, a distance that the rogues did not expect. Since Yicheng, he has rarely missed at this distance. One arrow to take the enemy's main general is enough to completely confuse the hearts of the rogue army.

Long arrows were like meteors, and they slammed into the enemy generals standing in the first row. At the moment when the feather arrow was about to reach the enemy general, he suddenly felt that the figure on horseback was familiar.

"It's not him, it can't be him!" Asahiko exclaimed. I can't wait to fly over with my wings and break the feather arrow in two. In the midst of this lightning and fire, the enemy general in the distance raised his riding shield, "Ding! A sound sounded from Xuzi's heart, the feather arrow was blocked, his tense heart was suddenly loosened, and sweat was dripping down his forehead.

Before Asahi could consider whether to launch a second round of mounted attacks, the enemy general reacted. He first looked at the cavalry galloping back, and his movements were very slow, as if he were looking for something. Then, he waved the command flag in his hand several times, and the cavalry on the two flanks of the phalanx immediately rushed down and met Li Xu and Luo Shixin's horses.

"Bend the bow, stack the shot!" Li Xu's order was transformed into a horn by the heralds, and the sound of a horn spread throughout the battlefield. Riding is the second appropriate way to crack the tactics of mounted archery. Li Xu and Zhang Xutuo, Qin Shubao and others discussed similar tactics. At the time, it was thought that if they wanted to achieve their desired goals, they should be roughly equal in numbers. But there were only more than 200 cavalry, but they did not hesitate to attack the official army.

The sound of feather arrows tearing through the air was terrible and harsh, but the effect was not obvious, and the soldiers were not as accurate as the rogues. More than 30 enemy horsemen fell between two shots, and the rest pressed their heads against their horses' necks, and their weapons were firmly pointed straight ahead.

The horn sounded again on the battlefield, and the enemy changed formations. The entire phalanx of infantry turned into a triangle as it advanced, like a sharp knife with teeth, and slowly pressed towards the soldiers.

In the middle of the battle formation was a young general, with silver armor and white robes, and his spear was like frost.
