The expedition to Jiangbei met the enemy unexpectedly, Li Bin could see that Qi Xing, the king of Chu, was still quite nervous in his heart, after all, it was the first battle in which the king of Chu led the army alone, and it was normal to be a little nervous.

Li Bin whispered to the King of Chu: "Your Highness, you lead the army to suppress the formation, don't attack easily, wait for me to go to the front to find out the enemy's situation and then decide on a specific action strategy." ”

"Brother Li, be careful."

Li Bin led several disciples with the best martial arts of the Futu Sect to the front of the team, and raised his eyes on the horse, and the banner of the enemy army could be faintly seen fluttering in the wasteland that stretched for more than ten miles in front of him.

In addition to the faintly visible flags, the slope wasteland provided the best cover for the hidden army maneuver of the Jiangbei Green Forest bandit army.

There is a hill on the left side of the wasteland, the hill is covered with green trees, and the grass can be half a person high, and it is also a very easy place to ambush the army.

Judging from the momentum of the enemy's pennant waving for several miles, it is very likely that the enemy army in Jiangbei came prepared, and even set up an ambush. Just wait for the army of the king of Chu to take the bait.

Li Bin said in his heart: "It seems that this Zuo Batian's marching army is also quite good at fighting, both civil and military, and he is a talent." As soon as Zuo Batian came up, he played a bluff trick, and he didn't know what kind of medicine it was selling in the gourd. ”

"Cloud Lion, do you see that hill bag on the left?"

"See, Master."

"Quickly go and investigate to see if there is an ambush around the hill."

"Obey the teacher's orders."

The wasteland in front of him is open, and Li Bin decided to investigate it himself. Turn over and dismount, lift your breath and jump. In just one minute, Li Bin's figure was ten miles away.

Quickly skim over places where there are enemy flags. When the Jiangbei Green Forest bandit army saw that the people who came were extremely feathered, they all shouted loudly. I want to summon archers to attack Li Bin.

But helplessly, Li Bin ran too fast, and the other party just found Li Bin running in front of him. In a blink of an eye, he greeted his companions, and Li Bin had long since disappeared.

After a tea time, Li Bin returned to his own military formation, this time personally probing the military situation of the enemy troops at the front, confirming Li Bin's guess, Zuo Batian deliberately arranged more flags, it was a suspicious tactic, and the front line of the banner did not find a large army of Jiangbei bandits, only a small vigilance force.

Now the frontal enemy situation in the wasteland has been discovered. Just wait for the cloud lion to come back and get the general information of the entire battlefield.

If there are no enemy troops near Xiaoshanbao, then it is certain that the main force of the Jiangbei bandit army has not yet reached the battlefield. It is very likely that Zuo Batian's move was deliberate, in order to delay the advance of the Chu King's army.

But why did Zuo Batian want to set up a suspicious array? Li Bin pondered: "Could it be that the speed of the forbidden army led by the King of Chu greatly exceeded Zuo Batian's imagination, and he arrived in Jiangbei ahead of schedule, so that Zuo Batian was caught off guard and had no time to deploy the army." Therefore, he had to set up a suspicious formation, in a vain attempt to delay the advance of the army of the king of Chu, and buy time for himself to transfer troops to war. ”

Li Bin was constantly thinking about Zuo Batian's true intentions. Now I'm waiting for the disciple Yunshi. Qi Xing, the king of Chu, couldn't stay in the back, and under the escort of more than ten elite cavalry guards, he also came to the front of the team.

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, asked, "Brother Li, how is the situation on the battlefield?" ”

"Master. There was no trace of Jiangbei bandits around Xiaoshanbao. The cloud lion rode back and shouted.

Now the intelligence of the entire battlefield has confirmed that Zuo Batian does not have a main army around the wasteland. Everything is just a suspicious plan played by Zuo Batian.

"Your Highness. Based on the analysis of the battlefield intelligence that has been detected, Zuo Batian is just playing tricks. Therefore, the formation of suspicious soldiers. Li Bin analyzed the information obtained.

"The Jiangbei bandit army is like this, what do you want?" Qi Xing, the king of Chu, fell into deep thought. The enemy's intentions are unclear and bluffing, and the truth inside is indeed intriguing.

Chu Wangzheng asked, "Brother Li, what is Zuo Batian's intention?" ”

Li Bin boldly analyzed: "Your Highness, I think Zuo Batian's move is an emergency move that is caught off guard, and the real intention should be to buy him time to prepare for war. Don't give Zuo Batian time to calmly deploy troops to fight. ”

After listening to Li Bin's suggestion, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, thought for a while, and said: "The old nest camp of the Jiangbei bandit army is built on a terrain surrounded by water on all sides and an isolated island in the middle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army is lightly armed and simple to attack, except for the necessary ordnance and food, the rest of the siege weapons are not carried, if you rashly rush to the front of the old camp of the Jiangbei army, the soldiers are tired, the attack is not smooth, and the back road may be cut off by the Jiangbei bandit army. ”

I have to say that Qi Xing, the king of Chu, considered it more comprehensively and cautiously, and all kinds of unfavorable conditions were fully considered.

Sometimes, however, what the war wants is to take the enemy by surprise and attack the unprepared, and the fight is a "fast" word, taking advantage of the enemy's lack of preparedness, and cutting the opponent off the horse with a three-plate axe.

If you make all the preparations for the attack step by step, do you know that the enemy's preparations are not as good as yours? Moreover, this is still in a situation where the enemy is outnumbered.

The Thirteen Villages of Zuoba Tianjiangbei claimed to have 100,000 soldiers, and the King of Chu Qi Xing and Li Bin only brought 5,000 forbidden infantry troops this time, and the comparison in numbers was very different.

This time to crusade against Zuo Batian, the strategy of Qi Xing and Li Binding, the kings of Chu, was to attack the heart. If the first battle is unfavorable and Zuo Batian's momentum is stronger, the strategy of attacking the heart can be achieved hell.

Li Bin still insists on fighting fast and moving forward, and rushing to attack and deter.

Seeing that the King of Chu was still hesitating, Li Bin asked again loudly: "Please Your Highness lead the army to rush forward and take Zuo Batian by surprise." I would like to open the door of victory for the forerunner and His Highness. Time waits for no one, His Royal Highness Qing will make a quick decision! ”

Seeing that Li Bin was the main attacker, Qi Xing, the king of Chu, gritted his teeth, made a painful decision, and ordered loudly: "Pass on the king's military order, the soldiers only bring three days' rations, and wave the army to the north!" ”

The left and right cavalry guards quickly conveyed the military order of Qi Xing, the king of Chu, to the generals who led the army.

Li Bin had already asked the Zhuwang sisters and brothers to drive the war horses away from the battlefield to take shelter for the time being, and the army only brought a few disciples with the best martial arts of the Futu Sect.

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, accepted Li Bin's suggestion, and personally led 5,000 elite forbidden troops to rush to the old camp of the Jiangbei bandit army, and looked across the river from Zuo Batian's old camp.

Along the way, some scattered bandit armies in groups of three or five saw that the Qi army was at its peak and its momentum was terrifying, and it had already collapsed without touching it.

"Your Highness, the stone military fortresses on the left and right wings of the old camp must be taken, otherwise when our army attacks the old camp, the enemy will be flanked by the enemy troops on both wings." Li Bin pointed to the simple and sturdy military fortresses made of stone on the left and right wings of the old camp and said.

Qi Xing, the king of Chu, took a closer look at the defense of the military fortress, shook his head and said: "Although these two stone military fortresses are not big, the defense is still very strong, our army has no siege equipment, how can the soldiers attack?" (To be continued......)
