Chapter 8: Coveting War Horses

"yes? Why? More than 30 years ago, when I was not yet ten years old, my family lived in a small village under the city of Jizhou in the north, and one day Beiwei suddenly sent troops to attack Jizhou.

I escaped by hiding in a tree on the mountain, but I also witnessed the tragedy of the village being slaughtered by the guards, and then I experienced more than three years of wandering, and since then I have thought that I will be an excellent soldier in the future, protect the people with my body, so that there will be no more children like me in the world......"

Zhao Hu looked at the far north, and the pain in his eyes flashed!

"Why did you kid go to the barracks? Don't say that the poor family can't survive, Daniel Zhang's kid is so deceiving, I'm not stupid! ”

"Hehe~ I used to want to restore the glory of the family, but now that I have seen the cruelty of war, my thoughts are not so naïve! In the future, I also want to protect the people behind me! ”

Xu Mengmeng touched the back of his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and said softly.

I really shouldn't have so many worries anymore, since I have now become a subject of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, how can I ignore the country's difficulties! Moreover, even in the civilized society of the 21st century, if China needs itself, it will definitely not run away from it!

Xu Mengmeng, those are invaders, they are robbers, if you don't kill them, not only will they not be grateful to you, but they will also rob your compatriots of their wealth and food on the day of the city, and take the lives of your compatriots, so let's fight! After all, the price of soft-heartedness is something you can't afford!

"Good boy, it looks like you've figured it out a lot! Next time, I shouldn't throw up again! ”

Zhao Hu was a little surprised by the fighting intent on this kid, and smiled and quipped.

"Zhao Baihu, to be honest, did I have a relationship with you, otherwise why would I be caught by you every time I was lazy during training? It's like you're staring at me every time, even though I'm a little bit behind the others! Xu Mengmeng asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hahahaha~ Guess, boy!" Zhao Hu laughed and got up and left, leaving Xu Mengmeng with a more confused look.

The destruction of 2,000 cavalry is impossible to stop the enemy's siege plan, at most it can make its flesh hurt, and then formulate a more sophisticated plan, the enemy also understands that if the Eastern Jin Dynasty takes Rongcheng before the arrival of other reinforcements, everything will be settled, so it will not wait too long, then this small victory in Baishipo can only buy time between respite.

arranged for people to clean up the battlefield, and those generals quickly gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures. Xu Mengmeng went to check the horses captured from the enemy, they really deserved to be war horses! It's so much tougher than the ones I rode when I was on the road before!

This good horse saw Xu Mengmeng's eyes shine, and he should have made a meritorious contribution this time! I wonder if it's okay to ask General Li for a horse? When the time comes, ride a war horse and brush a few knives out, and the enemy will fall a large piece, tsk tsk ~ That situation is comparable to an international blockbuster ~ "Ning boy, the general asked you to go to the barracks!" An abrupt rough voice interrupted Xu Mengmeng's beautiful fantasy, and she glared at the man who was talking with some discomfort, and walked towards the only tent.

"Subordinate Ning Jun, have you seen the generals?" Xu Mengmeng made a simple salute with both hands, although there was no gold under his knees, he didn't want to kneel down at every turn, even if it was one knee.

"Ning Jun, your previous strategy against the enemy was very good, let our army win the first battle, I have reported this matter to General Zhang, and when you return to the city, he will give you a reward, for the next enemy attack, what other good strategy do you have?"

Seeing that with the words of the rough and arrogant man, everyone invariably cast a hopeful gaze at him, Xu Mengmeng swallowed his saliva and touched his nose a little uncomfortably, dare to call himself to come to give himself a reward? This group of people is thinking of themselves as military advisors!

"The cavalry is already scarce, and the ability is the strongest in normal combat, this time it lost two thousand, Xichu will not dare to take risks easily, the next time will definitely send infantry as the vanguard, and the number will be far more than two thousand, so the previous strategy of controlling the enemy is useless.

Xichu has a big drought this year, and there are not many domestic food reserves, so they don't have time to play a protracted war with us, so the purpose of the vanguard force sent next time is to break through our defense line and approach the city of Rongcheng, the purpose of this team is to clear the obstacles for the army that will arrive later, so it must be a death squad with only goals and no fear of life and death! Such a team must be the main defense on the periphery and the main attack on the inside! ”

"Weak on the outside and strong on the inside?"

"It's true that it's weak on the outside and strong on the inside, so the chances of our side winning next are not great, even if it wins, it will only be a miserable victory, and it is when all the preparations are ready!"

"So what do we need to do to prepare?"

"If the general believes me, you can quickly send a team to get some wine from the city, and the more the better, and then select some strong archery skills from the team, and divide them into three teams, two of which are ambushed on the high places on both sides, and one team rides on the war horses in the army to block our front, but the most important thing now is to let everyone cut down the trees quickly!"

Xu Mengmeng does have a strategy that is not perfect, but there is indeed no better countermeasure in the current situation, alas, forget it, just die and be a live horse doctor!

"Why do you want to cut down trees?"

"When the enemy attacked, the brothers who were lying in ambush on the high ground first poured the wine brought from the city on the severed trees, and then threw them into the middle of the enemy ranks, and finally fired rockets quickly, and the trees were set on fire, and the enemy army was bound to be affected.

As for arranging accurate archery cavalry to block in front of us, it is to intercept the enemy team for a longer time, so that the brothers in the higher places can play a little longer, so that the enemy's losses can be greater, and our chances of victory will be greater! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful! There's really you kid! ”

"Well, it works! Then let's hurry up and deploy now! "At this moment, Li Cheng's heart is hot, this Ning boy is simply a treasure!

"Wait, General! Don't go out first to deal with the enemy's strategy, please be sure to choose a credible person for the person sent to fetch the wine, and it is best to arrange someone to discuss directly with General Wu to avoid accidents! ”

"yes, I see!" It was originally a game to win in a dangerous situation, if the strategy was leaked out because of the spies in the army, then it would be completely cool! Therefore, Li Cheng is more cautious in the selection of the list in his mind at the moment.

"That general......" After the business was over, although the time was urgent, Xu Mengmeng still did not forget the horse he was thinking about, so he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"But what else do you have to confess?"

"No, General, I want a horse!" Xu Mengmeng simply roared out of his neck.

"Yo~ You can ride?" Before Li Cheng could speak, a man beside him looked Xu Mengmeng up and down, and then spoke with a disgusted expression.

"That's a must!" Xu Mengmeng raised her chin and spoke arrogantly.

"Okay, go pick one yourself!" The moment Li Cheng's words fell, he had already run away, and shook his head helplessly, this kid is really still a child!
