The main camp of the front line of the Southern Dynasties.

Zhong Qingyuan looked at the casualty statistics in his hand in a daze, the green tendons on his forehead trembled slightly, and the more than a dozen senior generals under the handsome case were silent, all of them hung their heads and closed their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

The Wuling pro-army has always been an undefeated army, when has it ever fought such an aggrieved battle? But it was the more than 1,000 days that not only wasted their precious ten days, but also made them lose their troops and suffer unspeakably in the battle at the foot of the mountain.

In this battle, the explosion of the forward position alone and the counterattack at dawn caused the Southern Korean army to lose a full 3,000 men and horses, and the casualties of the entire battle were unprecedentedly close to 7,000.

The most important thing is that after paying such a huge price, it has not even been won!

A strong sense of unwillingness and a strong sense of humiliation instantly occupied everyone's hearts, and after accumulation, it turned into an angry beast, roaring wildly in everyone's hearts.

With a "bang", the curtain of the handsome tent was lifted forcefully, and Lu Dongqing, who had just finished patrolling the camp, walked in angrily.

Without glancing at the others, he walked straight up to a middle-aged man covered in a black cloak, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Hide it!! What's going on, haven't you already found the artillery position of the Apocalypse, and why did the artillery that was knocked out by the return cannon suddenly appear at the time of the decisive battle?

Also, didn't you say that the enemy had already divided his troops to defend Qingtian County, why did they still have troops to fight back in the end? If you can't tell the reason today, I'm going to split your five horses! ”

In the face of Lu Dongqing's almost out of shape anger, the generals only raised their eyelids slightly, but they were not the slightest surprised, and no one planned to persuade a few words.

When the forward position exploded, all the most elite cavalry of the Rhino Horn Army were crowded on the position, and almost all of them were destroyed in such an explosion, and whoever was the commander had to jump to their feet.

In fact, everyone here wanted to do what Lu Dongqing was doing now, especially Tong Yang, the commander of the Silent Annihilation Army, who was sitting on Zhong Qingyuan's right and lower head.

After the defeat of the Black Flag Army, the 2,000 men and horses outflanked from the back mountain immediately became lone troops, and they returned in embarrassment under the encirclement and suppression of the three companies of mines and the Apocalypse.

In terms of losses, the Silent Annihilation Army is no more than half a point behind the other two armies, and the culprit of all this is the misinformation of the dark chess.

The black cloak was torn slightly crooked by Lu Dongqing, revealing a half-cold face from the shadow of the hood.

This middle-aged man, who was called a hidden man, did not panic at all, his right hand suddenly blossomed, like a poisonous snake wrapped around Lu Dongqing's wrist, and then with a slight shock, the collar that Lu Dongqing grabbed immediately slipped out of his palm like a catfish.

Lu Dongqing was slightly startled, and when he wanted to catch him again, he had already returned to his seat without a trace, gently dusted off the dust that was already on his body, and sat down again.

Lu Dongqing has already stepped into the threshold of a first-class master, and the fact that he can get out of his control so personally is obviously much higher than him.

Seeing that Lu Dongqing was so angry, his right hand immediately held on the hilt of the knife.

"The vulture's intelligence is not wrong!"

At this moment, the sky finally spoke, and his face was the same, and the voice was gloomy and cold, like a poisonous snake that had just woken up from hibernation.

"Nothing wrong? Hmph......"

Lu Dongqing snorted coldly, and was about to question again, but before he could speak, he said again: "Didn't you send those Northern Dynasty cannon fodder to confirm the artillery position of Tianqiwei, is there any discrepancy with the information of the vultures?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Dongqing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right, the reason why the Southern Korean army delayed the general attack until last night was because he took into account Xu Rui's cunning and was afraid that something would go wrong with the intelligence of the dark chess, so it took a lot of time to confirm the location of the artillery position with countless lives.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he still caught Xu Rui's way, and was caught off guard by the sudden artillery at the critical moment when he showed his killing move, so that all his efforts were wasted.

How did that guy named Xu Rui do it? Could it be that he is really a god, or can he really be counted as a last resort?

How could it be possible to accept defeat with the pride of the Wuling pro-army? So the problem must be dark chess!

Lu Dongqing gritted his teeth, pulled out his long knife with a "cang" sound, and viciously forced towards the sky.

The generals looked at him with interest, without the slightest intention of stopping, but the sky just sneered, his body didn't move, and he raised his eyelids to look at Zhong Qingyuan.

"Stop!"

Zhong Qingyuan, after the handsome case, finally opened his mouth, and after spit out two words, he let out a long sigh.

"The battle situation is frustrated, to put it bluntly, it is my responsibility as the coach, and my brother doesn't have to defend me like this."

Lu Dongqing was stunned, and suddenly looked back and said: "Although the strategy for the decisive battle was set by the commander, all the generals had already agreed to it when it was discussed, if it weren't for the inaccurate information of the secret chess, we would have already annihilated the enemy, how can it be said that it is your responsibility?" ”

The generals nodded again and again, and even Tong Yang, the commander of the Silent Annihilation Army, who was silent and said: "This raid on the northern country is not that our army is unfavorable in battle, but that the kid named Xu Rui has come up with some crossbows and artillery one after another, which caught our army by surprise, and it is definitely not the general's fault!" ”

Zhong Qingyuan shook his head: "Having said that, but victory is victory, defeat is defeat, my Wuling pro-army has always only judged heroes by results, this time Zhong Mou suffered a major setback for the first time he led the troops alone, thanks to you for not giving up, Zhong Mou is grateful for Zhong Mou's repeated maintenance."

But the matter has come to this, Zhong can not deceive himself, maybe from the beginning of Zhong's strategy has deviated, fortunately it is still too late to correct, the initiative of this battle is still in our hands, as long as we are in one go, we still have a chance to destroy the northern country in a war! ”

Hearing him say this, all the generals calmed down, Lu Dongqing put away the long knife, shaved the sky fiercely, returned to his seat and asked: "The marshal said that the strategy of this battle is not appropriate, I don't know what to do next?" ”

Zhong Qingyuan said: "Xu Rui is a scheming person, and his treacherous hands are endless, and he only leads more than a thousand people, but he just relies on those messy weapons to drag us in Xichuan for more than ten days......"

Speaking of this, Tong Yang nodded and said: "What the marshal said is that whether it is a repeating crossbow, an apocalypse chariot, or a powerful artillery, it is something that our army has never heard of, and it is very powerful and effective, so it is no wonder that our army is so hard."

Speaking of which, Ben will be derelict in his duties, and after this battle is over, Ben will definitely carefully study these weapons and tactics, and if they encounter them again next time, they will definitely pay for their blood debts! ”

"General Tong doesn't have to blame himself, we just want to encourage him."

Zhong Qingyuan nodded and continued: "Xu Rui is only a thousand people, and now he has been disabled by our army, hiding in the mountains or cities, and it may be a little tricky to rely on artillery and other things, but as long as our army does not attack head-on, he will not be able to set off the wind and waves."

And if we want to fight down and destroy the Northern Dynasty, our army needs to ensure the suddenness of the attack, the time is limited, and our army can't afford to spend it, rather than being dragged by Xu Rui's men and horses in Xichuan, it is better to go north as soon as possible and point directly at the enemy's nest. ”

The generals nodded slightly when they heard this, in fact, everyone also meant this, but Xu Rui had become a shame for the Wuling pro-army because of the battle of Liuqingshan, and all the generals wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Second, because of that battle, the Wuling pro-army was also impressed by Xu Rui, leaving such a scourge in the rear, no matter what, it would be unrealistic, and this would be dragged by Xu Rui for a few days with a few thousand people.

"Does the marshal want our army to cross the Tianhe Pass and go north immediately?"

Lu Dongqing asked in a deep voice.

Tianhe Pass is so similar to the canyon of the battle of Liuqing Mountain, as a person who witnessed the tragic situation of that battle, as long as he thinks of the heavenly thunder in Xu Rui's hand, Lu Dongqing is very worried about the canyon behind Tianhe Pass.

Zhong Qingyuan did not rush to answer, but looked at the sky.

"Isn't the dark chess next to Xu Rui still usable?"

Concealing the sky shook his head: "The vulture is a chess piece that the chess owner personally pays attention to, and it was not easy to get mixed up with Xu Rui, and the information sent out of the artillery position this time is already making his own assertion and taking a big risk. ”

Zhong Qingyuan was stunned: "You said that the vulture is a chess piece that the chess owner personally pays attention to?" As far as Ben Shuai knows, although the chess master is the head of the dark chess, he has not appeared for a long time, and the dark chess is currently in the hands of Xue Qirui, the squire of the military department, why is there still a chess piece that the chess owner personally pays attention to? ”

He paused and seemed to hesitate, but finally explained: "This matter is not confidential, but outsiders know very little.

Dark chess has always been in the hands of the chess master, but the chess master was ordered by the prince to do a more important thing, and he didn't have so much time to control the overall situation, so Xue Shilang was allowed to act as the intermediary between the prince and the dark chess, so that the dark chess could play a role in the hands of the prince. ”

"What's more important, is it related to the prince's trip to Northern Qi this time?"

Zhong Qingyuan blurted out a question.

King Wuling inexplicably ran to the coast of the East China Sea with a large army this time, which was the biggest doubt of all his cronies, and Zhong Qingyuan's question immediately made all the generals prick up their ears.

Yu Tian shook his head: "Da Shuai asked too much, don't say that I don't know, even if I know, do you think I dare to say it?" ”

The generals were suddenly disappointed, and Zhong Qingyuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's true that Ben Shuai asked inappropriately, you don't have to take it to heart."

As he spoke, he said to Lu Dongqing again: "In this case, it is urgent for the army to go north, but Xu Rui is near Tianhe Pass, and it is too risky for the whole army to go north through such a narrow valley."

Fortunately, although Tianhe Pass is the gateway to Xichuan, in addition to Tianhe Pass, there are several roads to the north, but they are not easy to walk, and they need to go around in a big circle, which greatly affects the speed of the march, but even then it is better than putting eggs in one basket.

The commander decided to divide the two armies into four routes, advance by land and water, and leave Xichuan before 15 May.

The Rhino Horn Army along the line of the Chichuan River, captured the three cities of Longmen Water Village and Tianque, controlled Guangyuan Mansion within ten days, and set up an advance base.

The Silent Annihilation Army walked the line of Anlong Mountain and Luofengling, broke through the thirteen cities along the way, and arrived at Guangyuan Mansion on the 17th, and joined the Rhino Horn Army, at which time the commander would personally lead the Black Flag Army with the generals! ”

"The Last General's Order!"

As soon as the military order was given, all the generals clasped their fists and surrendered their hands.

Only Lu Dongqing and Tong Yang frowned.

"Is it really okay to throw Xu Rui in Xichuan like this?"

"The two armies of Rhino Horn and Silence have taken almost all the passages out of Xichuan, is it possible that the marshal wants to lead the Black Flag Army to the north through Tianhe Pass?"

The two asked questions of concern almost simultaneously.

Zhong Qingyuan sneered, and the killing aura between his eyebrows was filled again.

"That's right, Ben Shuai is going north through Tianhe Pass, so naturally he can't leave Xu Rui alone!"

All the generals were shocked, Tong Yang and Lu Dongqing knew that he had suffered big losses one after another at Xu Rui's hands, and they were afraid that they would be very dissatisfied with this decision, and they would immediately speak out to persuade them.

Zhong Qingyuan had already guessed what they were going to say and waved his hand.

"Although the scale of the battle at the foot of the mountain is not large, it is very tragic, and at present, the remnants of Xu Rui urgently need to be repaired, and there is only one way to retreat to Qingtian County.

To tell you the truth, long before the battle at the foot of the mountain, Ben Shuai had ordered someone to raid Qingtian County, and it was decided at dawn today.

Xu Rui would never have thought that Qingtian County, which seemed to be as usual, had fallen into my hands, as long as he led the remnants back to Qingtian, hum, his end would come! ”

As he spoke, Zhong Qingyuan sighed: "If it weren't for the urgent strategy of going north, if it weren't for Xu Rui's too many variables, the army could have waited until it was solved and went north directly from Tianhe Pass."

However, although the army was forced to divide its troops to raid this time, Ben Shuai's last killer weapon was still enough to be fatal, it depends on whether Xu Rui Xiaoer has the ability to deal with it! ”
