Professional things are done by professional people...... This is a very popular quote in the Association of Soul Thinkers, and Sosi also quotes it as a classic, and it is always engraved in his heart. In his opinion, Chen Xiansong is a professional, a contemplative of the soul of war, and on such occasions, this is the time when he should play a role.

But Chen Xiansong has a different opinion on this: "You don't know how to fight, what does it matter to me!" Besides, I don't understand. ”

Chen Xiansong told the truth, but the person concerned did not believe it: "In Emperor Fall City, you easily burned the city gate, and expected that Riccardo would send cavalry to chase you, so he specially laid a trap and burned more than 200 of his knights. It was a knight, not an ordinary cavalryman, and I heard that he was about to vomit blood. After doing these two years, you didn't hurt a single soldier, so scared that Riccardo didn't dare to draw his troops to chase you, you said that you didn't know how to fight, who believes! ”

Chen Xiansong felt strange: "Riccardo didn't dare to chase me, but you dared to stop me for something." ”

"Actually, it's not that I'm bold or anything." Sosi said helplessly: "In the words of the Kingdom of Aurora, it is 'without it, the one who deceives his relatives'. There is a twist in what he said, two thousand years ago, the Yan Saint of the Aurora Kingdom was not a saint when he was young, and his family was considered wealthy. Poor and rich in martial arts, the young Yan Sage is a good swordsman, one day, he had a dispute with his evil neighbor, and he pulled his sword in anger and killed all sides. One day, a man surnamed Wang saw the evil neighbor and asked for 5,000 gold, saying that he could make the son of the Yan family be imprisoned within five days. Five days later, the son of the Yan family was imprisoned for adultery, and the evil neighbor was overjoyed, so he asked Wang Nan, and he said: Without him, the one who deceives his relatives.

Chen Xiansong has not heard this allusion. But he understood the general meaning, and sneered when he heard the words: "Hatred and bitterness, and the six relatives do not recognize it, it is indeed a necessary condition for great things, Your Excellency Suoxi, I used to respect you because you are an old man, but now, I really admire you, your friendship with Teacher Udir for decades." Say throw away, this decisiveness, whether it is the teacher or me, is far inferior to you. ”

Hear such sarcastic words. Sosi was still not angry on the surface, but he was not angry in his heart. Only he and the heavens know the Tao. He glanced at the army in Logwood City in the distance. Said slowly: "It doesn't matter what you think of me, but we have to go over, if we can't get by, I'm dead, and you can't live." ”

"You're so sure I won't survive?" Chen Xiansong tilted his head and asked.

"Of course you know." Sossi laughed. Very proud: "If you can't get by, before I die, someone will kill you." We soul thinkers, while intelligent, are also vulnerable. Except for me, anyone else here can kill you dozens of times. ”

"You just begged me to help you fight, and now you're going to kill me in the blink of an eye?"

"You all said that I hated and hated, and my six relatives didn't recognize it." Although Suosi is old, he is also extremely shameless when he is single: "I have been friends with Udil for decades, and I have thrown it away, not to mention that I haven't met you many times, if Riccardo didn't ask me to take you to Emperor City, I wouldn't be too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

"You're ruthless." Chen Xiansong sat down, playing with the long curtain belt tied around his waist tied together, and then he looked ahead and said lightly: "Leonardo definitely hasn't studied much about war, although I don't know much about it, but I still know a little bit about it." He arranges the formation like this, it seems that your road is blocked, but in fact, this is completely a wrong approach, and if you meet someone who knows a little basic military literacy, you will be beaten to the ground. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Sossi asked.

Chen Xiansong smiled in his heart and began to talk nonsense: "He put up a defensive formation, which means that his troops are insufficient, and he should not have as many as you, but he doesn't seem to want you to go to Emperor City to support Riccardo, so he wants to block you here, one more day is one day, the great Napoleon is because there is an army that did not catch up with the established plan, so he lost a battle, and lost the whole war after the last, maybe Leonardo also thinks so." ”

"Who is Napoleon?" Sosi was curious.

Chen Xiansong shrugged and said, "You haven't heard of this person's name, forget it, let's continue the topic just now." Leonardo's forces were insufficient, but he divided some of his forces on the defense of the trade routes. Dispersing his forces is taboo at some point, and even if he has a horse to block the front, it is not safe. If I were him, I would dig a trap on the only trade route, and then fortify the wall and clear the wilderness, and hold on to the city, the trade road is not far from the eastern wall, and it is condescending, and the archers should be able to attack the targets on the trade road, as long as you dare to clear the traps, I will shoot you with arrows, and you can't always work with armor and shields. When you retreat, I will send some cavalry to chase after you, and as soon as you stand firm, I will let the cavalry retreat. In this way, it can stop you for four or five days, and maybe you will retire because of the short period of food. ”

These sprinkled words were actually thought up by Chen Xiansong casually, he is a literary and artistic young man, and he knows how to fight and kill. But Suosi looked at the other party's formation and actually believed it...... But he also raised a question: "I see that behind the trade road, smoke and dust are billowing out, could it be that the enemy has ambushes there?" ”

"It's just a false strategy." Chen Xiansong said very 'firmly': "Most of them are people riding horses, dragging things like brooms around the road, and bad tricks are used in military novels and movies." ”

Suoxi nodded in sudden realization, and then asked someone to bring a parchment notebook and memorize Chen Xiansong's words just now.

I really believe it! Chen Xiansong felt a little speechless about this, but then he felt that this was good, and the following plan would be more convenient to implement.

After memorizing, Sosi solemnly asked the parchment book to be kept, and then he asked with a sigh of relief: "Since you can see that Leonardo's arrangement is full of loopholes, how do you plan to break the other party's arrangement?" ”

"Of course, it's to concentrate forces on the enemy on the other side of the trade road." Chen Xiansong had a natural expression: "But before that, I have to determine how many enemies there are in the rear of the Shang Dao rejection, and what is the main force?" ”

Suossi waved his hand to a mercenary next to him, he retreated, and it didn't take long for him to run back out of breath: "Report to the master, there are about three hundred people on the side of the merchant road, all of them are archers, as for the smoke and dust in the rear, because the distance is really a little far, it is not very clear. ”

"Actually put the archers alone on the trade road? Not even a shield player, only a rejection horse? It's not a meat target. Chen Xiansong felt a little incredible: "Is Leonardo too confident, or what's the matter, does he have other plans?" ”

"Leonardo is not a contemplative of the soul of war." Suoxi shook his head and said sympathetically: "It's normal for him to have such an arrangement, because this is the recognized foundation of our Kate Kingdom, a certain great general hundreds of years ago, who used this method to annihilate the cavalry regiment of thousands of people in Tachibana. If it were me, I would do the same. ”

"Resist the horses and the archers, of course, they can deal with the cavalry." Chen Xiansong felt very strange: "But the problem is, you don't only have cavalry, you also have heavy armor soldiers, these heavy armor soldiers are equipped with heavy shields, you can use them as shield bearers, you just need to let them walk in front of the shield, and then your archers are behind them, using projectiles, you can attack the enemy, most of the arrows shot by the enemy will be blocked by the shield hand, and then you can easily annihilate the enemy's archer troops." ”

"yes, that sounds like it works." Sosi's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.

Chen Xiansong was very strange: "Why, you don't even know this basic common sense? I remember when you blocked us yesterday, the class layout was quite reasonable. ”

"I've never led a soldier, that's the only way I've ever seen a formation, or something I learned at great expense from an old soldier nobleman. I told you just now that I won't fight, but you don't believe me. Suosi shrugged: "It should be said that most of us soul thinkers have never led soldiers, so it's normal to not know the way." Moreover, in this world, only our souls have the ability to think, and there are even fewer souls who are good at the art of war. ”

"I've heard that almost everyone is using the same tactics that have been handed down from the past. The difference is only how much the battle method of the Dao is known, and it has hardly changed for more than a thousand years. A family that understands the tactics of war will never pass on the tactics of war. Suosi shook his head and said as if he was very helpless: "If a person suddenly appears, knows the tactics that others don't know, and can adapt to the situation, then he is almost invincible." This is why those who ponder the soul of war have always been feared and feared. If you can't get it, then you can destroy it, this is the consensus of all potential forces. ”

When Suoxi said this, his eyes kept staring at Chen Xiansong, and his expression was indescribable, as if he had seen a rare treasure, and as if he had seen an unbearable enemy.

Chen Xiansong was stared at by him a little creepy. But soon Suosi's expression returned to normal, and he said to the three mercenaries who were watching: "I'll try, and the battle will start in a while, and you take care of Your Excellency Chen Xiansong." ”

This is a disguised reminder that they should be optimistic about Chen Xiansong.

"If you really want to attack as I said, you might as well take one more step." Chen Xiansong pointed to the left side of the city gate, where there was a hill: "You press the cavalry there...... If they dare to come out of the gates to save the archers, you let them attack the gates...... With them guarding there, I don't think Leonardo will come out casually, so you can calmly eat the opponent's ranged troops. ”

Sosi nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Your Excellency." Then he turned to the command team.

Chen Xiansong got into the carriage, because the war was going to start, the three mercenaries sat on the car, absent-minded, most of the time probes out of the window, wanting to see the battle situation, in their minds, Chen Xiansong, a soul-contemplative who has no power to restrain the chicken, no matter what, he can't escape.

While they were slackening, Chan untied the two black curtains from his body, twisted them together, and tied them to the beams on the roof of the car for hanging oil lamps. (To be continued......)
