Chapter 36 The Geometry of Victory and Defeat
On the high platform, the monarch and the minister were talking.
The competition on the school field was still going on, and the near end of the battlefield in the upper reaches of the river was also in full view, at this time, the 500 sergeants of the Blue Army were united in their hearts, and they held on to the 200 meters behind the bridge, taking advantage of the narrow situation of the bridge to prevent more than 1,000 soldiers of the Blue Army from joining here.
At this time, a scout stepped forward to report the battle of crossing the bridge downstream, and when everyone heard that the Blue Army had intercepted 500 Red Army troops on the bridge with one man and one horse, and successfully repelled the enemy, causing Deng Linlong to lead the army to retreat 20 miles, the scene was in an uproar.
Later, when I heard that the Blues retreated after breaking the bridge, everyone was even more puzzled.
"This Liuli Pavilion Qin Feiling's subordinates, there are still such characters, isn't it a bit exaggerated!"
"In my opinion, it's the Deng Lin dragon straw bag, five hundred people riding against one, and they are all cavalry, although there is the advantage of crossing the bridge, but I think I can just hedge and break through!"
"Don't say that, I've seen Deng Linlong, he's a good player, not to mention that Qin Feiling is not an easy master to deal with!"
......
Emperor Yang listened with great interest to the discussion of everyone in the audience, and at this time, Wan Er smiled, turned around and asked Zhang Xiao, who was standing beside him, who was acting as a guard.
"Zhang Xiao, in your opinion, what is the origin of this young general?"
Hearing Emperor Yang ask like this, his eyes were clear, and Zhang Xiao immediately snorted.
"Your Majesty, I'm a guard today, so you don't need to ask me about such things that require brains!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiao was so lazy, as if he was doing it on purpose, Emperor Yang chuckled, but no longer looked at him.
"I heard that after Qin Feiling left Beijing, he went to Lingque Mountain in Yanzhou, stayed in the Imperial Heavenly Sect, and became a third disciple, right?"
"Your Majesty is right. ”
"In this way, Qin Feiling is the uncle of the Lin Qilin boy!"
"Exactly. ”
Seeing Zhang Xiao's confirmation one by one, Emperor Yang chuckled lightly, and seemed to be very happy.
"The Lin Qi that Your Majesty said, but the young hero who defeated Qiqi in the wilderness, the Lin Qi who won the second place in the World Martial Arts Conference?"
At this time, an old man in gold armor and white hair sitting under Emperor Yang suddenly spoke.
This old man is none other than the commander of the entire Dahua Northern Army, Generalissimo Peng Mianzhao!
In Dahua, the army is divided into the southern army and the northern army, and there are only two marshal-level figures in the entire military command; compared with the southern army, the northern army is larger in scale and has a greater status because it is facing the grassland, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Marshal Peng Mianzhao is one of the people in the Dahua army.
What's even more powerful is that Marshal Peng is already a veteran of the three dynasties of Dahua, even if he holds great power, he still has the trust and respect of Emperor Yang, and the old man who is already old still has a steel-like physique, covered with armor and spears, and hits thousands of miles away, it is still not a problem, and it is the object of admiration and worship of all the sergeants in the army, and even when the name of Marshal Peng is mentioned, there is no one in the entire Dahua who does not give a thumbs up.
Hearing the old marshal's question, Emperor Yang smiled and nodded, and from the expressions of the two, it can be seen that they both seem to think that this young general of the Blue Army is Lin Qi.
Peng Mianzhao stroked his beard and laughed.
"It turned out to be this kid, a little courageous, but as far as I know, this Lin Qi seems to be a monk, I heard that he is proficient in methods, but he doesn't know if it is in line with the rules to let the monk participate in a long competition. ”
Having said that, looking at the old marshal's expression, it seems that he doesn't care too much, although it is just a drill, but the purpose is to simulate the real battlefield situation, and in a battle with the enemy, anything can happen.
Hearing the old marshal say this, Emperor Yang also looked at the scout who returned.
"That young Blues general, has he ever used a spell?"
"Enlighten the saint, the little one has never been seen. ”
"Then how did this young general of the Blue Army use to resist the enemy and defeat the 500 forbidden army?"
"Qi Qi Sheng, the young general single-handedly stood in the middle of the bridge, hedged with the Red Army's ten cavalry, every time he danced his spear, he set off an endless whirlwind, and swept a group of riders on the bridge, hedged ten times in a row and won ten times in a row, and finally caused no one to dare to step forward with the forbidden light cavalry, and finally retreated in fear!"
Hearing the details, everyone was even more shocked, one horse and ten horses hedged, and they could win ten times in a row, this young general of the Blue Army has the terrifying combat power everywhere, I am afraid that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a martial saint to go down to earth!
"Zhang Xiao, what do you see?"
At this time, Emperor Yang asked the sword god beside him again.
"It's true that I didn't use spells, just martial arts. ”
After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, the old marshal also nodded.
"If this is the case, it is indeed not a violation, even if many soldiers in our army can use it, but if there is such ability, it is rare!" Speaking of which, His Royal Highnesses are also the best in this, especially the martial arts of His Royal Highness Chang and His Royal Highness the Seventh, but it is really not low, although the old minister has been in charge of the handsome seal for many years, but I am afraid that it is also rare, I am afraid that this Lin family kid also probably has such a level, I have to say, Dahua has such a young talent, it is indeed the blessing of my society!"
Obviously, the old marshal already has a full affection for Lin Qi, but he is afraid that he has already begun to plan to recruit the other party under his command, and at this time, the discussion of paying attention to the current exercise is also in full swing.
"Old Peng, in your opinion, what is the victory or defeat of this forbidden army Jiang Huihong?"
The speaker was Zhang Kangcheng, a general in the Northern Army, who was born in the Zhang family of the Yanjing wealthy family, and was related to Zhang Xiao, who is Zhang Xiao's cousin, who has been in the army for many years, and was the first to be mixed in the army, and he was rolled over in the battlefield.
"Jiang Huihong, the training of the army does have a hand, and the forbidden army is in his hands, which is also very suitable, but when he picks up the strategy, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of Qin Feiling of the Liuli Pavilion, but this duel does not need too much planning, after all, it is several times the enemy, if it were me, I would also choose to attack, and divide the troops into two ways, in fact, there is nothing wrong, but I didn't expect that the light cavalry of five hundred people would be stopped at the bridgehead by a small general of the Blue Army, which can be regarded as a little unexpected. ”
"It is said that after the young general of the Blue Army retreats from the enemy, he will also interrupt the bridge crossing to block the enemy behind, but if he interrupts it at the beginning, wouldn't it be more conducive to defense?" Zhang Kangcheng was still puzzled.
"Haha, this is where Qin Feiling is smart, if he interrupts the bridge at the beginning, I am afraid that he will only let Jiang Huihong's soldiers and one place, attack with all his might, and even do not hesitate to cross the river and make a desperate bet, and Qin Feiling's side is just a patchwork of guerrillas, with the terrain and formation, it is still possible to fight, and if he really wants to open the formation, he is afraid that he will be defeated in an instant. ”
After listening to the old marshal's analysis, everyone also agreed very much.
"In this way, Old Peng, are you more optimistic about this Qin Feiling?"
"It's hard to say, after all, this Jiang Huihong also has real materials, the original division of troops was only 500 light cavalry, but now there are only more than 1,000 people attacking the bridge, according to the old man's opinion, I am afraid that the hundreds of people who 'disappeared' are his Jiang Huihong's backhand!"
As soon as the words fell, another scout came to report.
"Report, behind the blue army camp tent, I suddenly found three hundred Red Army infantry, and went straight to the blue army camp tent!"
Hearing the report, everyone was taken aback again, but they didn't expect it to be said by the old marshal, but they didn't know where Jiang Huihong's three hundred people crossed the river from!
"Haha, it seems that this arrogant Qin Feiling is about to lose!"
Many people in the audience obviously didn't like Qin Feiling very much, and they all laughed at this time, if it weren't for Emperor Yang's presence, I was afraid that they would start sneering directly.
As soon as this person's voice fell, he didn't expect another scout to report.
"Report, more than 100 cavalry were found in the rear of the Blue Army, rushed into the Red Army's 300 infantry formation, and cut off the latter's formation!"
Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised, and they couldn't believe their ears.
"How is it possible, where is Qin Feiling with a hundred more cavalry?"
Before he could finish speaking, another scout rushed in.
"Report, the 100 cavalry see only the horses, but not the riders! The 300 infantry of the Red Army have been scattered!"
Hearing this, everyone instantly fell silent, except for shock, they didn't even know what to say!
