Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 188 Conquering Barbarian VII
Chapter 188: Conquering Barbarian Seven
The person who raised the butcher's knife against them was not Qi Jingtong, but Lu Wan.
Although Lu Wan set off late, the road was also slow, but this section of the road was too short. Within a few days, we were approaching our destination.
Lu has a lot of vehicles, which are ugly side vans, all driven by manpower. The side vans on both sides of the road look like two wooden walls.
The reason why he arranged it this way was to try his best to ensure the combat effectiveness of these new recruits.
Even if you run into an enemy on the way. I can also defend myself. But Lu Wan still overestimated his opponent.
"What, the potbelly tribe is outside the camp, fighting and not fighting, and not leaving?" Lu Wan couldn't imagine that it was a taboo for soldiers to be under the fortified city, but they were at a loss, and they simply had no way to survive. There is a way to die.
The scouts sent by Lu Wan entered Qi Jingtong's camp and told Lu Wan about the battle in the past few days. A smile hooked up at the corner of Lu Wan's mouth, and he said in a low voice: "The thief can be broken." Then he said, "Prepare the horse, I want to travel."
Dongyong horses are scarce. But no matter what, Lu Wan will always have horses, not only Lu Wan has horses, but even Lu Wan's personal guards also have horses.
Lu Wan gave an order. A few moments later there were a dozen horses. Get ready. Lu Wan arranged the trivial matters properly. So he turned over his horse, and a dozen of his guards galloped north.
The road was newly built, but it was also smooth. Hurry up for an hour or so. I saw Qi Jingtong's camp from a distance. Lu Wan did not fight his horse and entered the camp. Instead, they walked around the camp. From this point of view, the traces of the battlefield are vividly visible.
The newly cut trees were already dyed with blood. On the ground outside the camp, the battlefield had been cleaned this morning, but there were still scattered arrows and bloodstains. Tell everyone that this was a battlefield a few days ago.
Lu Wan can see from the remains of the battlefield. The war report he knows may be a little watery, but it is definitely not adulterated. Lu Wan was relieved. Lift the reins. said, "Let's go." Beat the horses and went to the camp gate.
Qi Jingtong had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when Lu Wan came over, he immediately opened the door to greet him. He saluted and said, "The last general will meet your lordship."
Lu Wan dismounted and said, "No courtesy." “
Qi Jingtong welcomed Lu Wan into the handsome tent and let him take the main seat. Lu Wan didn't give in, sat down and said: "Shixian, you did a good job, this time you defeated the big belly, Shixian should be the first credit." “
"The last general is ashamed, the last general has all today, it all depends on the guidance of the adult, the adult is the weight of the whole army, please take care." Qi Jingtong said in a deep voice.
Lu Wan could hear that Qi Jingtong was euphemistically admonishing. He didn't care, and went straight to the point and continued: "Now that the enemy army has been newly defeated, it is no longer a climate, and it is time to strike a blow with anger and have done everything in their power. Shixian, would you like to pioneer for me?"
"The end will definitely live up to the expectations of adults." Qi Jingtong replied in a deep voice. He hesitated slightly. "The enemy is in the forest, and most of our troops are new soldiers, fighting in the jungle." I'm afraid it's not good for us. Please be aware of it. “
Lu Wan laughed, and his gray hair trembled with laughter. This is Qi Jingtong he knows. Qi Jingtong has more than enough to guard, but not enough sharpness.
"Shixian, I would like to watch the enemy army with the old man. Lu Wan looked like an old man talking about juvenile madness, and said to Qi Jingtong.
Qi Jingtong couldn't help but hesitate. He was worried that Lu would make a mistake, as he had just said. Lu Wan has a lot at stake, and once he loses, it is simply out of control.
"Why don't you dare?" Lu Wan said. There was a playfulness in the tone.
Hearing this, Qi Jingtong sighed in his heart. I had to say loudly: "The last general dares to disobey his fate." “
Just as Lu Wan understands Qi Jingtong, Qi Jingtong also understands Lu Wan.
But whenever Lu Wan speaks like this, it means that he has made up his mind. It is absolutely impossible to change it. As a subordinate, Qi Jingtong is unwilling even though there are thousands of people. There is only obedience.
After a while, Qi Jingtong changed to the horses of Lu Wan's guards. Lu Wan rushed straight from the direction of the forest. All the way through.
The Potbelly Tribe is not at all alert. Dozens of people rushed out of the jungle. Loud shouts gathered around.
Lu Wan didn't pick any eyelids. Qi Jingtong and the guards around him had already set up bows and arrows.
The guards around Lu Wan were all carefully selected. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the arrow is not missing. But seven out of ten is true.
After a rain of arrows, most of these barbarians also died, and the rest also retreated.
Lu Wan didn't seem to see this. The horses didn't even deviate. It's like rushing into the jungle. Qi Jingtong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly hurried up to protect Lu Wan.
Lu Wan suddenly stopped in front of the jungle and said to Qi Jingtong: "Shixian, listen. ”
Qi Jingtong didn't know what was going on, his heart was up and down, where was he in the mood to calm down and listen carefully. I just listened to it in a hurry, and I only felt that the sound was extremely noisy, and there was any sound.
But most of them were shouts of fright. In an instant, Qi Jingtong seemed to understand what Lu Wan wanted him to listen to.
Lu Wan said: "Listening to the voice of the army, the army's heart is in turmoil. The so-called rout of the army is also. Such an enemy, with just one blow, will definitely collapse. The world should be broken for me. ”
Qi Jingtong listened slowly, and he had to admit that in terms of grasping the timing, Lu Wan was much better than him. If Lu Wan was in his position, he would definitely have defeated the Zheng Potbelly Tribe at this moment.
Qi Jingtong is cautious by nature, and prudence has the benefit of prudence, but if he is too cautious, he thinks too much, and he becomes suspicious. The harm of the three armies is the greatest.
Qi Jingtong said with a little convincing: "My lord, it's just that I have few soldiers. It's easy to defeat, but it's hard to capture too many captives. ”
Lu Wan said with a smile: "The brigade is dozens of miles away, and I have ordered all the county soldiers to meet in your village tonight." At dawn, you will lead the three county soldiers to raid. The soldiers are in the fine, not in the crowd, and this is the time to use their sharpness. ”
The county soldiers of the three counties are almost all the county soldiers under Lu Wan, and they are all the backbones in Lu Wan's hands.
It's a gamble.
Win-or-lose gambling.
"As for capturing the strong man," Lu Wan sneered and said, "If you want to catch it with your own hands, it is the best way." Letting him send it to the door himself is the way to go up. ”
Lu Wan didn't explain what the best way was, the surrounding sounds became more and more dense, and the potbelly hunting had already reacted, and a large group of people and horses gathered here.
This place should not be stayed for long. Lu Wan is also quite concerned about his own safety.
Lu Wan took this Qi Jingtong back to the camp and immediately began to prepare for this battle.
The training of county soldiers is very important in Zhu Houhuang's thinking on army building. The most important thing is the ability to move on the march.
Therefore, the march of dozens of miles was nothing to the county soldiers, at nightfall. A total of more than 2,000 county soldiers arrived at Qi Jingtong's camp.
Qi Jingtong immediately arranged for everyone to rest. He let out all the powerful scouts around him, and made sure to monitor every move on the other side.
And Qi Jingtong didn't feel sleepy at all. Although this is not Qi Jingtong's first war, Qi Jingtong is the most uncertain battle.
Although the woods near the camp are not very lush, it can even be said to be very sparse. But it is still in the woods, here, Qi Jingtong is the best, it can be said that the Yongjun is best at fighting in formation, and it can't play a role.
Yongjun is essentially a recruit. Engage in such a fight. From training, to terrain. There are too many places that make Qi Jingtong feel uncertain.
But this battle is inevitable. What Qi Jingtong can do is to check his plan again and again, and try to be foolproof.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door outside, and Qi Laoliu's voice came in. I only heard him say respectfully: "My lord, the time has come." ”
Qi Jingtong pushed the door out, the cold air in winter came to his face, looking at the darkness between heaven and earth, only a few lights in the camp were in the dark, lonely swaying, making people think that there was no other world outside the camp fire. They have long since been consumed by darkness.
