The Boling soldiers paid no attention to what Ashina Gu Tuolu shouted, and pursued them for three or four miles in one go, until they saw the Turkic company camp in the distance, and then gathered their troops and returned to the Great Wall in a hurry.

The cavalry under Gu Tulu had already heard the shouts of killing near Huanghua Huozi, but everyone didn't expect that the defenders would dare to kill against the trend and beat Gu Turu and his descendants to the ground. Second, the wolf was used to galloping on his horse, and it was very difficult to adapt to the rhythm of foot combat, so he was unable to come to reinforcements in time. After discovering that something was wrong, the generals made the right decision, and the soldiers and horses of Boling and Hedong had withdrawn to the valley. The Burkes knew that they might not be able to get any advantage if they caught up, so they had to watch their opponents fly away.

In this battle, although the defenders of Huanghua Huozi Pass lost the fierce general Lei Yongji and more than 2,000 brothers, they also left more than 5,000 corpses of the Turks, and killed a white giant wolf with a little bit, which really played the majesty of the Central Plains soldiers and horses. After withdrawing to the Great Wall, Li Jiancheng immediately ordered a banquet to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers, a jar of fine wine was brought out, and a large amount of copper coins were rewarded, which raised the morale of the three armies to the highest point.

The soldiers rubbed their fists and sharpened their hands, no longer paying attention to the Turkic wolf riders, who were outnumbered. The core generals involved in the war know that the situation is far from as simple as it seems. They have more information and see problems more comprehensively than ordinary soldiers. In the first battle during the day, although the Central Plains soldiers defeated the enemy near the Huanghua Huozi Pass, they did not take much advantage of the other two passes, Qilin Valley and Hulujian. Zhang Jiang, the general of the Boling Army stationed in the Qilin Valley, led the people to take the initiative to attack and successfully burned the Turkic catapults, and his own brothers also lost more than 2,000 people. In the Hulu Stream, where the soldiers and horses were stationed in Hedong, the temporarily repaired wall was smashed down by the Turks with heavy catapults.

Taken together, the losses of the three battlefields are actually about the same. But there are far more soldiers and horses under the command of Gu Tuolu than Li Xu and Li Jiancheng. The Turks could afford the same losses, but the defenders of the Great Wall were wounded a little painfully. In addition, due to the severe damage to the wall of the Hulujian Pass, the catapults on the opposite side of the wall could not be destroyed, and the defenders would be in a very disadvantageous position when the battle was fought tomorrow.

"In the end, the Boling Army is more reliable!" When the heroes heard that the giant catapult outside the gourd stream still existed, the first thing they thought of was not the danger, but the comparison of the strength of the two armies in Hedong and Boling. In terms of numbers, Li Jiancheng's troops and horses were several times that of Li Xu's troops, but in the three passes, wherever there was a Boling army, the Turks did not bargain. Only Jiang Baoyi's side has the largest number of people, and the source of soldiers is the simplest, but the losses far exceed the other two.

Naturally, everyone's hot gaze would not be comfortable, Li Jiancheng was so angry that his face sank immediately, called Jiang Baoyi, and ordered in a low voice: "Without further ado." You take the initiative tonight. Be sure to set fire to the catapults in both places! ”

"No!" Jiang Baoyi, who was wrapped in cloth belts in many places on his body, did not dare to disobey and solemnly bowed his hand.

The group of heroes didn't expect that Li Jiancheng, who looked so amiable and angry, loved face so much, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. Jiang Baoyi is injured, and there is a chance that he will not return this time. And the expressions that everyone unintentionally revealed were the culprits who killed him.

"The Turks are not necessarily accustomed to fighting at night. Recruit a dead soldier in the army and tell the brethren. I will take care of the future life of the children in their family, don't worry! Li Jiancheng looked around, then at Jiang Baoyi, and continued to command.

"No!" Jiang Baoyi clenched his fists again and turned out of the account. He has followed Li Jiancheng for many years and understands the other party's temperament, so he knows that he will die at the moment, and he doesn't say a word of nonsense.

At this moment, the faces of all the heroes present were a little unbearable. As the grass king in the troubled times, they compared the strength of Hedong and Boling only out of consideration for the future, and never despised Hedong. can rashly speak out to block Jiang Baoyi's actions, and he is suspected of meddling in other people's family affairs. Seeing that Jiang Baoyi's figure was about to disappear outside the tent, Shi Derui, the great man of the green forest, couldn't care about so much courtesy, stood up, and said in a low voice: "The prince of the world is slow to dispatch troops, General Jiang, please stay for a while, Shi Mou has a word here!" ”

"General Shi doesn't have to be polite, just say what you have to say!" Chen Yanshou, who was secretly anxious next to him, quickly stood up and smiled and bowed his hand to Shi Derui. Turning his head, Lao Changshi reminded Li Jiancheng again: "It's still early. There is no need to deploy troops immediately. Maybe everyone will have a better strategy to break the enemy, the prince might as well listen to it with the general, and then consider it together! ”

"It's good!" Li Jiancheng saw Chen Yanshou keep signaling to him, and he also felt that he had indeed gone too far just now. Nodding his head, he whispered yes. "Then please ask General Jiang to come back first. I'll discuss it with the general before deciding how to help him remedy!" ”

The Hedong guards standing on both sides hurriedly went downhill and ran outside the tent to call Jiang Baoyi back. After everyone sat down awkwardly, Shi Derui glanced at his clan brother and continued hesitantly: "Shi thinks that it makes no sense to destroy the catapult by light!" ”

"Why did General Shi say this!" At this time, the nameless fire in Li Jiancheng's stomach was all led to Shi Derui's head again. Lei Yongji was the first brave general of the Hedong Left Army, and today he died generously in order to destroy the two catapults outside the pass, but in the end he could not even find the body. Someone dared to say that there was no point in destroying the catapult, what was it doing if he wasn't slapping Brother Hedong in the face?

"In order to destroy a catapult, General Lei took his life, and more than 500 brothers were lying in the valley!" Facing the angry gaze thrown around, Shi Derui paused, and then talked eloquently, "At that time, when Shi Mou thinks about it, his heart is still like a fire. Shi also wanted to fight with the enemy at that time. It's a big deal that twenty years later, he will be a good man again. ”

A few words were neither humble nor arrogant, so that Li Jiancheng and other Hedong generals wanted to attack, but they couldn't find any reason for the attack. I could only sneer and pout, and see what else Shi Derui could say.

It's a good time, although he looks vulgar on weekdays, he can really calm down on key occasions. He bowed his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to add, "But my life in the Central Plains is so precious, how can I exchange it with the Turks casually." Sensei said that one for one, that is, for ten, for a hundred, this transaction is still a loss. Besides, the mountain was full of trees, and it didn't take much effort for the Turks to build another catapult. Bone Toru used two catapults to exchange the lives of 500 of our brothers today. He built a car, let's destroy one, replaced our general Lei Yongji today, replaced me Shi Derui tomorrow, replaced Jiang Baoyi the day after tomorrow, and pushed the catapult forward again a month later, whose life should we take to exchange?! ”

"This?!" Not only were Li Jiancheng and other Hedong generals dumbfounded, but almost everyone present was stunned by Shi Derui's words. According to this statement, wouldn't Lei Yongji die in vain? But if no one leads the troops to attack, how many times can the temporarily repaired city wall withstand the smashing of catapults?

General Shi has a point. Li is too anxious! "After all, he is the commander of the First Army, Li Jiancheng quickly recovered from his shock and rushed to the ground at Shi Derui." If the general has other strategies to break the enemy, I hope he can teach me without hesitation. There will be heavy thanks after Li! ”

"No need for heavy thanks! Guarding this Great Wall is not the responsibility of the prince's family! Shi De Ruiwen returned the salute with a crepe of his hand, "Since you are standing on the Great Wall, everyone will share blessings and misfortunes." Before the wolf rode back, why bother to divide the east and north of the river. Yours and my home. Winning is a life for everyone. If you lose, everyone will die together, just a few steps in succession, and no one will be lonely on Huangquan Road. ”

"General Shi is right!" All the heroes echoed, "Everyone lives and dies together at this moment, why bother with each other!" ”

Li Jiancheng is a smart person, and after listening to the words of the heroes, he immediately understood that his performance just now really seemed too narrow-minded. At this critical juncture of life and death, why should others care if they look at it more and less at it. If the soldiers and horses in Hedong are lost, can the Boling army be spared? On the other hand, in the Huanghua Huozi Valley, if it weren't for Lei Yongji leading the Hedong soldiers and horses to fight to the death, which exhausted Gu Tuolu's sharp energy, how could Li Xu win so cleanly.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he ordered Jiang Baoyi to sit down beside him, and comforted him in a low voice: "You have done your best during the day." I don't blame you. How to fight, first listen to what everyone means. Tomorrow I'll go to the gourd stream with you and watch how you clean up those wolf riders! ”

"No. The subordinates will live up to the expectations of the world! Jiang Baoyi's eyes were red, and she responded with tears.

The crowd chatted a few more words, and the topic quickly turned back to how to break the enemy. This time, everyone's minds began to move towards each other, and they could no longer distinguish each other.

"I can't see that Big Brother Shi still has these two hits! can actually fool Li Jiancheng! Han Jianhong was most familiar with Shi Derui, and he secretly wondered in his heart, and couldn't help but sneak a few glances at the other party. He saw Shi Defang quietly leave behind Shi Derui, and walked to Li Xu's side casually. Dengshi's heart brightened, smiled, and focused his attention on the military affairs in front of him again.

The heroes of the green forest have been dealing with the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers all year round, and every time they have attacked more with less, so in the face of the Turks who are several times larger, they have really come up with a lot of golden ideas to make trouble for the other party. But how to deal with the threat of catapults, but there is no good idea for a while. That thing has a huge structure and a long range, and it is indeed very difficult to deal with except for the fact that the dead soldiers are led by the fierce generals to smash it. And blindly smashing it is not a good way. Shi Derui was right at all when he said just now, two catapults for more than 500 Central Plains soldiers, and at this rate, Gu Toru could easily win the war in less than a month.

With nothing to do, everyone turned their attention to Shi Derui again, hoping that he could give a direct answer. Shi Derui never expected that everyone would choose him again, and instinctively wanted to ask his own brother for advice, but found that there was no one behind him.

"This, this, methods, solutions can always be figured out. No, you can't fight hard! Seeing that everyone was sweating all over his face, Shi Derui stammered. We, we think, the idea that they can't build so many catapults! In a hurry, he had a flash of inspiration in his heart and suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, let's find a way to make the Turks unable to make catapults!" Shi Derui wiped the sweat from his face and was triumphant, "Those catapults were built with the help of the Persians. I saw it during the day, and only the Persians could fight accurately. Instead of fighting the catapults, let's try to kill the Persians. Without the help of those guys, even if he cut down all the trees in the mountain, he wouldn't be able to make anything new! ”

"You can say it easily, those Persians hide faster than rats! In the hundreds of thousands of troops, how do you find them? After listening to Shi Derui's words, several young generals retorted with great disappointment.

"Then find a way to make them have nowhere to hide!" Without waiting for Shi Derui to explain, Li Xu, who was sitting behind the handsome case, answered for him.

"General!" The young generals bowed their hands to Li Xu and obediently retreated to their own queues. They all admired Li Xu's bravery and strategy. So even though he is not under the command of the other party, he is willing to look at his horse.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Xu smiled and nodded to everyone, "The city wall at the pass of the gourd stream has been destroyed, if it is not what I expected, Gu Tuoru will definitely take it as the main direction of attack tomorrow!" ”

"That's true! It's Jiang who is incompetent and has caused trouble for everyone! Jiang Baoyi got up and arched his hand, his face full of shame.

"But it's not necessarily a problem!" Li Xu waved his hand and signaled Jiang Baoyi to be restless. "We've been on an equal footing with the Turks in other places, but we haven't been able to get anywhere in the direction of Gutolu's own attack. I guess he won't be able to swallow this breath. The steppe has always respected the strong, if he is defeated several times in a row, we don't need to fight, and the Turkic people's military spirit will not be stable! ”

"That's true. I listened to that boy and his soldiers shouting today to wipe your forehead with your blood! Hearing this, Liu Jizhen couldn't help but interject.

"If you want him to come, it's not certain who will kill whom!" The Boling army spoke in unison.

"Kill him, kill him!" The crowd shouted excitedly.

Li Xu's eyes swept the audience and suppressed the chaotic voices of everyone. After sorting out his thoughts, he continued: "So, I thought he would have to change the direction of his attack tomorrow and start from the place where it seemed easiest to break through. Let's wait for him in the gourd stream and kill him by surprise. Then take advantage of the chaos to kill a group of Persians, so that these guys don't continue to fight for the tiger! ”

"Kill the Persians!"

"The Great General is right!" The heroes became excited again and echoed in unison.

Chen Yanshou twisted his beard in his hands, and when the cheers of the crowd fell slightly, he proposed: "If the general and the prince put up the handsome flag in Huanghuahuozi, I am sure that Gu Tuolu will attack the gourd stream tomorrow!" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yanshou did make sense. The last time Gu Tuolu planted the handsome flag in the Qilin Valley, it turned out that after Li Xu's banner appeared in the Qilin Valley, this gutless bandit immediately led the team to attack Huanghua Huozi today. As a result, Li Xu came half a step late, and Lei Yongji lost the bloody battle. According to the previous performance of this thief, he was frustrated again in the hands of Li Xu today, and he will definitely not be willing to get back the lost field head-on tomorrow, but try to go around Li Xu's back to opportunistically.

Thinking of this section, Li Xu's confidence increased greatly, and he smiled and patted the case, "In this way, Brother Jiancheng and I will put the handsome flag tree in Huanghuahuozi." Give Bone Toru a suspicious plan! Let's put the real attack point in the gourd stream, and beat him head-on again! ”

"Does the general still want to lead the troops to attack, this time, you must bring me and wait!" Qunhao listened to Li Xu's decisive words, lest he miss the opportunity to kill the enemy side by side with the Boling army, so he asked indiscriminately.

"It's true, but it's not just about killing the Persians! The leaders of the tribes, the Turkic leaders of the Burkes, and the generals are also our main targets. There are many servants under the command of Gutoru, but they are not familiar with each other. Kill the leader of the group, and the samurai will be in chaos without a fight. And until a new leader of a tribe is elected, Gutoru can't command any samurai! Li Xu smiled and nodded. I need to be good at following behind the battle with a good arrow to snipe the enemy general. Whoever shoots more accurately, take the initiative to sign up later! ”

"Me!" Shangguan Bi was the first to stand up and took the initiative to ask for help.

"Me too!" Jiang Baoyi was not to be left behind, and introduced himself, "Not as good as a general, but within a hundred steps, seven or eight out of ten!" ”

"Count me in!" Shi Derui also raised his arm.

"I can do it too!" Han Jianhong also recommended himself.

Among the famous heroes of the rivers and lakes, most of them are masters of arrows. This was somewhat unexpected by Li Xu. The soldiers were in danger, he didn't want to take everyone with him at once, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "The reason why Gu Toru was defeated today was mainly because of the terrain and the wolf riders who were not good at foot combat. Tomorrow, he's sure to learn some lessons! I estimate that tomorrow will be a fierce battle, and you are all leading generals, and you should not be lightly endangered. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was even more reluctant to quit. insisted on playing in the first round, so as not to be looked down upon by other heroes. "General Li has taken the lead, do we dare to pretend to be honorable?"

"Yes, how fast it is to be able to kill thieves with the general!"

The morale of everyone is so high, which makes Li Xu, as the interim coach, a little embarrassed, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are different from the generals under their command, and they can command at will. If you don't say a word properly, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. If you care about your own honor and disgrace like Li Jiancheng did just now, many people's efforts tonight will be in vain.

Just when he hesitated, Chen Yanshou stood up again and proposed loudly: "Even if we are all united, why don't the generals change their original intentions and put the decisive battle time tomorrow." Gu Toru may not have thought that we were waiting for him in the gourd stream, let alone that I would wait for the favorable terrain and fight him so early! If you can get away with it, no matter how many wolves you ride, I'm afraid there is only one way to withdraw! ”
