"Son, why did you go, let me send the white-haired man to the black-haired man...... How can you bear it! Woohoo......"

"Brother, why did you die so miserably!"

"My brother!"

……

Outside a camp tent of the counterinsurgency army, some corpses were placed in the open space, but they were the remains of some generals who were attacked and killed by the brotherhood, and several generals and officials around the corpse were lying or kneeling and crying bitterly, crying sadly and desolately, and grief-stricken, and there were many generals, officials, and scribes around, with solemn and sad expressions, but here, it was a gathering of generals, civil officials, and strategists who led various armies in the counterinsurgency army, and their status was not low, and most of them were nobles such as grandfathers and marquises.

As a military general, it is normal to die on the battlefield, and when you see too much and get used to it, you will see it and look down on it, but these nobles are not their ancestors who were killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, they have been pampered for many years, they have not been trained to be hard-hearted, and it is also smooth sailing to exterminate Zoroastrianism before, and they don't feel any difficulty in dealing with the brotherhood. Originally, on the battlefield, these generals with family martial arts, wearing armor, and riding a BMW are not so easy to die, and the most dead are some middle and low-level generals and soldiers, and they don't care, it's just a number. I didn't think about it, and many of the dead generals were young people from noble families, who were in the prime of their lives and made meritorious contributions, but they were planted in the hands of the Brotherhood and died.

"The brotherhood is so vicious, harming my son and nephew, I don't share the sky with you!"

"Kill, kill, kill! I'm going to kill all the thieves of the Brotherhood! ”

"That's right, bloody Lingzhou, kill him and don't leave a chicken dog!"

"Take the head of the Brotherhood thief and sacrifice my son's spirit in heaven!"

"Now I'll lead my army to kill those despicable and shameless people of the Brotherhood!"

……

After crying for a while, many people swore and cursed, shouting that they would seek revenge on the Brotherhood, and some generals were even going to lead their troops to attack immediately.

"Don't be reckless, don't fall for the Brotherhood's tricks!"

"Everything in the army has its own laws, but you are not allowed to fight without permission!"

"Will my son die in vain?"

"What if you go and find the Brotherhood?"

"I don't care, I'll take people with me, I'll kill them directly to Lingzhou!"

……

Immediately, there were people who dissuaded those generals, and there were also people who supported them, and the two sides quarreled and shouted, and the chaos became a mess, and they almost fought, with a thunderous shout: "Stop it!" ”

Everyone was a spirit, and when they saw the comer, they all fell silent, bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Marshal! ”

But it was the marshal of the counterinsurgency army, the current Zhenguo general Mu Anlan, Mu Anlan is a general in the court, with great achievements, and great prestige in the army, he was the commander in the Northern Xinjiang War, and he was the commander when he could easily defeat the Zoroastrian Ming army, and he was also under his command, Mu Anlan was very majestic, and in front of him, many generals did not dare to squeak.

"What kind of system have you become!" Mu Anlan scolded with hatred, everyone didn't dare to refute, he didn't say more, he checked the corpses one by one, after reading it, Mu Anlan's expression was also a little solemn, and he said with a little self-reproach: "This time, I was careless, underestimated this brotherhood, otherwise these heroes would not die in vain!" As a military general, it is common to die on the battlefield, and you should mourn the change during the festival, come to people, restrain yourself, and send someone back to the god capital for burial. ”

"The marshal doesn't have to blame himself, even if he waited, he didn't expect the Brotherhood to send troops to intercept and kill our army, it was also our mistake!" Among the strategists, Xu Changqing was the representative and came out to confess.

The others didn't say anything, and when it came to it, they couldn't complain about the strategists, and if they wanted to be careless, everyone present could be said to have made this mistake, defeating the Ming army of Zoroastrianism, and the generals of the counterinsurgency army were a little arrogant, with a momentum like a rainbow, and they felt invincible in the world. Moreover, everyone knows that the Brotherhood is shrinking to Lingzhou, completely relying on the geography of Guancheng and Lingzhou to protect itself, so naturally they don't take the Brotherhood in their eyes, and feel that as long as Guancheng is not located, the Brotherhood will be vulnerable. Even if they learned that the Zoroastrian Ming army was killed by the Brotherhood in a mess, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, they only laughed at the Ming army, after all, the Ming army was a group of defeated troops, and chasing and killing the Ming army was the same as driving sheep. Compared with the dignified battle, the tactics of the strategists, the methods used by the brotherhood, are completely shameless and disdainful. The counterinsurgency army sent some elite generals at will, and it was hand-to-hand to deal with the Brotherhood, who would have thought that the Brotherhood would attack and kill in the middle of the road, causing so many casualties at once.

"What about the specific casualties?" Mu Anlan asked.

Immediately, there was an official in charge of statistics, Mu Anlan listened to it, couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Is the brotherhood really so powerful?" ”

Xu Changqing interjected: "Marshal, I have already asked, but the army of the Brotherhood is extremely strong, and there are foreign beasts to help in the battle, those foreign beasts, using weapons and wearing armor, are difficult for ordinary people to match...... One person and two horses, the armor and weapons of the soldiers are extremely sophisticated, it is difficult for our soldiers to hurt them, they may all have joined the Qijin to build, and they are basically warriors...... The leader of the Brotherhood also participated in the battle, especially powerful...... "Mu Anlan had asked about the situation of those soldiers who had escaped before about being intercepted and killed by the Brotherhood, and he repeated it at this time, plus some of his analysis.

When Mu Anlan and the others heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched, the army of the Brotherhood was too extravagant, and it was simply piled up with gold. In the counterinsurgency army, except for the elite of the elite and the personal soldiers of the generals, the rest of the army can be described as shabby compared with it. According to the general concept, the behavior of the brotherhood can be described as the extreme, and the same money can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops. Of course, the population of Lingzhou is not large, and the soldiers of the Brotherhood should not be many, but such an army built with a lot of money, even if the strength of the soldiers themselves is average, with those weapons and equipment, it is also a first-class strong army, not losing any strong army in the world, it is said that such an elite soldier, against the Ming Army's defeated army, frontal combat, a battle can play a prestige, but the Brotherhood does not engage in frontal battles, likes sneak attacks, and picks soft persimmons to pinch, specifically to bully more and less, to fight the weak with the strong.

This kind of tactics is very disgraceful, especially for military generals from orthodox backgrounds, but it has to be said that this kind of tactics is extremely difficult to deal with, and if it is not dealt with properly, the counterinsurgency army will not be grinded to death, but at least it will have to lose a lot, which will affect the morale of the army.

"Do you have a solution?"

As soon as Mu Anlan asked, a military general immediately stood up and said: "Marshal, the last general is willing to lead the troops to fight the brotherhood, and he will definitely capture the thief leader, and the last general is willing to make a military order!" ”

"But it's not appropriate, this wave of cavalry of the Brotherhood is haunting, where are you going to find it?"

"It's just, how does the Brotherhood know the movements of our army? As soon as our army attacked, the Brotherhood intercepted and killed halfway, which was also too fast, as if it had been prepared for a long time. ”

"Could it be that there are traitors in our army?"

"That's impossible! Even if there is a mole, how long will it take to spread the message? ”

Everyone is puzzled, the general herald to deliver the news, it often takes a short time to respond, even if it is a flying pigeon to pass the book, it will take some time, but everyone can't think of a clue.

"Otherwise, we will send an army as a decoy, and the other soldiers will lie in ambush in the rear, and once the battle is engaged, they will be killed together."

"That's a great plan, you can give it a try!"

With a general plan, a group of strategists supplemented and perfected it, plus a strategy to try to find out whether there were really spies in the army, and the next day, the counterinsurgency army acted according to the plan, sending a small force as bait, and arranging some soldiers and horses to ambush at the back, ready to rescue at any time.

After that, the counter-insurgency army was really attacked and killed, but it was not a bait sent out, but some troops who were lying in ambush behind and preparing to rescue were suddenly attacked, killing and wounding many people and horses.

This strategy was ineffective, the counterinsurgency army had to give up, but with the advance of the army, it was constantly attacked and killed by small-scale sneak attacks, and the loss was not large, but it was extremely damaging to the morale of the army, and there was no choice, the counterinsurgency army had to send a large number of soldiers and horses to distribute around the army, as a result, it was attacked from time to time, and the small group of troops was always attacked and killed, and when the large force arrived, the brotherhood had no shadow, and some scouts sent by the counterinsurgency army were intercepted and killed, and the counterinsurgency army almost became a blind and deaf man, at this time, The generals and officials of the counterinsurgency army can be regarded as having learned the power of the Brotherhood's tactics. Small groups of cavalry, in this place of Yuezhou, are very convenient for movement and hiding, and it is difficult to find them when they drill into the forest. Like a pack of vicious wolves, once the prey is found, the cavalry of the Brotherhood will quickly gather together to carry out attacks and kills, and once they succeed, they will quickly evacuate, once the counter-insurgency army pursues, they will disperse, and if the counter-insurgency army is also dispersed, the Brotherhood will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the counter-rebel army will be played around.

"How did the Brotherhood do it?"

The counterinsurgency army and others were very puzzled, and the strategists thought about it for a long time, and finally found some clues, but they were still puzzled, until one day, the strategist Lu Qian got a message.

In the military tent, the generals and officials of the counterinsurgency army gathered together, and Mu Anlan asked, "Mr. Lu, do you mean that you know the origin of this tactic of the Brotherhood?" ”

"There's still something I haven't figured out, but I've got a rough idea." Lu Qian nodded, with some tiredness on his face, but he had been thinking about it all night, but his spirit was excellent.

"Then sir, say it quickly." Mu Anlan was a little anxious, and the rest of the people stared at Lu Qian, waiting for his answer.

"The first point is the road."

"Road?"

"It's the road, everyone, please look at it......" Lu Qian said and took out a map, and there were routes on it, and he could see the evolution of people, and he couldn't figure out what it was. Lu Qian didn't sell it, and continued: "This is the road map of Yuezhou, and it's only a small part of ......."

Lu Qian mentioned it slightly, and none of the people present were stupid, and they guessed the truth one after another.

The Brotherhood can adopt the current method of warfare, the Brotherhood has played a great role in the road network built in Yuezhou, the reputation of the Brotherhood has been bad, many people look down on the Brotherhood, as the first rebel force, after occupying Lingzhou, there is no enterprising heart, a corner of peace, and do not know how to recruit talents, buy people's hearts, but busy with business all day long, banditry does not change, likes to plunder, build a large number of buildings, repair houses and roads, put it in the previous dynasty, that is what the faint king did, yes, many people laugh at the Brotherhood, I think the Brotherhood can't make the climate.

"People all over the world laugh at the Brotherhood for not wanting to make progress, only knowing how to build houses and roads, but they don't know that the Brotherhood is actually far-sighted and has a plan......

With Lu Qian's narration, everyone also saw that the road network in Yuezhou was a powerful weapon of the Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood was clear about these roads, relying on the road network to intersperse in a roundabout way, and the counterinsurgency army and the Ming army were not familiar with each other as outsiders.

Faced with such a road network, everyone had no idea at all, and could only stare at the map.

"It's just that how does the Brotherhood grasp the movements of our army?" Mu Anlan asked again.

"I was puzzled about this until yesterday, when I received a letter from a friend who said that there are giant eagles in the Brotherhood, and they are very spiritual, and they can search for them on the ground."

"Ah!!h

Everyone didn't expect this to be the case, and they were stunned for a while, and after a while, someone suddenly said: "No wonder! "This is not good news for the counterinsurgency.

"I'll go and see ......" An impulsive general immediately ran out of the tent to look at the sky, and the others also came out of the big tent, and sure enough, they saw an eagle soaring and hovering in the sky.

"This brute!"

Immediately, a military general took a bow and arrow to shoot the eagle, even if the arrow was accompanied by a gangqi, but it couldn't fly so high, where could it be shot? It's just to vent your anger.

"The Brotherhood is indeed a group of beasts, and they are all in the company of beasts!" Someone scolded, but no matter how ugly the scolding was, it didn't matter.

Xu Changqing, Lu Qian and other strategists watched the falcons in the sky, hoping to see some clues, where could they see anything? Regardless of how the Brotherhood allowed the alien birds to spy on the military and how they commanded the battle, the question was, how to solve this problem? In fact, there are many ways, such as sending some masters to find the location of the giant eagle of the Brotherhood and try to get rid of it, but this is not something that can be done for a while, and now that the war is coming, where is the time?

The mood of the people is not very good, whether it is the road or the giant eagle, they can't deal with it, and they can't crack the brotherhood's tactics, and every move falls in the eyes of others, how can this battle be fought?

"We should be glad that we know this at this time, and if we don't know about it all the time, we can't fall into the calculations of the Brotherhood." Xu Changqing said with a smile at this time, and said a good thing about this matter, and everyone turned a little pale.

"We can't delay this battle, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us, for today's plan, we can only use our strength to break the trick, drive the Ming army to attack Lingzhou, and quickly solve the battle!" Lu Qian said.

"Yes, as long as you break through the Guancheng and enter Lingzhou, those tricks of the Brotherhood will become rootless and difficult to perform." Xu Changqing added.

"It seems that this is the only way."

Of course, Mu Anlan agreed, originally, the counterinsurgency army should not fight for a long time, the military expenses of the counterinsurgency army itself are all large and small imperial courts, scraped together, it can be said that even the last family funds have been taken out, if it is not for the counterinsurgency army to completely defeat Zoroastrianism and seize a lot of grain, grass, materials, gold, silver and jewelry, otherwise it will not be able to support the current war.

As a result, the counterinsurgency army was mobilized, and like the Ming army, the whole army contracted, and the Brotherhood was not given an opportunity to take advantage of, and the whole army pressed on the Ming army, forcing the Ming army to attack Lingzhou.

Just want the Ming army to speed up the pace of operations, but there is a problem, in the past few days, the Ming army has occupied the city of Yuezhou Nanyuecheng, there is no defender in the city of Nanyue, the Ming army captured but did not take any sharp weapons, originally, this matter is also in the calculation of the counterinsurgency strategists, the purpose is to let the Ming army take a breath, get repaired and replenished, and restore some combat strength, anyway, there is not much food and grass in the city of Nanyue, if it is stuck to death, it will be trapped to death and starved to death.

Now the rebel army wants to fight quickly, they still have to rely on the Ming army to break through the Guancheng of Lingzhou, consuming the strength of the brotherhood, but it is impossible to want the Ming army to attack Lingzhou immediately, the rebel army has a lot of dark lines in the Ming army, knowing that the Ming army does not want to move, and the current high-level of Zoroastrianism also knows that the grain and grass in Nanyue City will not be able to support it for long, but the Ming army has fled for a long time, and the mental and physical struggle is extremely tired, and finally there is a place to stay, many Ming soldiers are unwilling to go further.

The counterinsurgency army had to let those dark line activities and intimidate the Ming army to attack Lingzhou earlier, in fact, a direct attack on Nanyue City is also a way, but, in that case, the loss of strength on both sides, not to mention the Brotherhood, may let the Brotherhood take advantage of the loophole.

In addition, I am afraid that I can only wait, waiting for the Ming army to eat up the food in the city of Nanyue, and have to leave. So, dozens of miles away from Nanyue City, the counterinsurgency army set up camp.

The Ming army and the rebels were temporarily silent and strictly defended, thinking that it would be difficult for the Brotherhood to find an opportunity to take advantage of, but they did not expect that the Brotherhood's attack would come from heaven.

The grain and grass of the Ming army and the rebel army were burned almost the same night, and the grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, especially now, the Ming army and the peace rebel army are closely guarded, but, no matter how strong the guards are, they can't prevent attacks from the sky, but the brotherhood will use the ice phoenix and ice phoenix to throw incendiary bombs on the grain and grass of the two armies from the air, but, after all, there are two ice phoenixes and ice phoenixes, and the incendiary bombs are limited, and the two armies are also tightly guarded, and the fire is quickly extinguished, and there is not much food and grass burned.

After that, Bingfeng Binghuang continued to launch air raids, and from time to time dropped some incendiary bombs, bombs, poison gas bombs on the heads of the Ming army and the rebels, burning grain and grass, and burning camp tents. Although the losses caused can be said to be very small, they can only be beaten and cannot fight back, which makes the Ming army and the rebels very aggrieved.

The ice phoenix and ice phoenix in the sky are tossed like this, and the counterinsurgency army is not willing to drag on like this, and if it drags on like this, the army's morale will be weakened, and this battle will not be fought. There is also a very important point, the counterinsurgency army brought a lot of grain and grass, but it is also limited, now in the hinterland of Yuezhou, the rear grain road is facing the attack of the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood still controls the waterway, it drags on for too long, once the grain route is cut off, the counterinsurgency army will not fight and collapse.

In desperation, the rebel army sent an envoy to Nanyue City, expressing its willingness to surrender the Ming army, but there was one condition, that is, the Ming army had to capture Lingzhou. (To be continued.) )
