"Master. Long Aotian said to Zen Master Xuezhai: "Under the impact of our army's front team, Su Meng's pillow has completely fled, and Su Youguang's enemy soldiers are still resisting stubbornly. ”

Due to the fact that one east and one west were divided into two parts, it was difficult for the Shentang army to return to Anxiang City in a straight line when they retreated, and only a small number of Shentang troops were able to escape back from the valley. Su Mengzhen seemed to be a perfect formation at the beginning, but now after the defeat, it has led to the evil consequences that the left and right cannot echo.

"Just leave a small part of the elite to contain Su Youguang's department. Zen Master Xuezhai said categorically: "Su Youguang will not have much fighting spirit now, and will retreat soon." However, if you want to catch it, catch the big fish and pursue Su Mengzhen with the main force. ”

He added, "I used to lead the front, and you led the army as a successor." ”

Long Aotian was taken aback: "Master, you are injured...... Do you want the Shadow Dancer to take your place?"

Zen Master Xuezhai said calmly: "If I don't step forward in person, who else can catch Su Mengzhen? ”

Long Aotian had nothing more to say.

Zen Master Xuezhai led his troops to the north.

His thoughts wandered, but he returned to more than thirty years ago, and the weather was also warm and cold......

Memories flooded back, and Zen Master Xuezhai felt that his body seemed to become younger and more energetic.

......

"To the west is the troops of Iiya. A monk in his twenties, with a clear face, reported to a tall man in golden armor.

The gold-armored man is in his early thirties, and he is at his most youthful. Immortal armor carved dragon, wearing a coiled dragon helmet, wide mouth, sharp edges and corners, eyes like knives, there is a domineering spirit in the world.

"Jing Yi is finely riding, plundering like fire, but he has been known for a long time. Long Zhanye smiled, but his eyes were full of disapproval.

Zen Master Xuezhai said again: "The one who came from the north is the people of Li Yi of the Sanhe Sword Sect. ”

"Li Yi, this old guy, can be regarded as a famous general, the last time General Gu went to Xiangyang County to test it, he suffered a small loss. Long Zhanye said leisurely: "I heard that his grandson Li Qing is more interesting than him?"

A black-faced general turned black and red when he boarded, and said embarrassedly: "It's a pity that I didn't listen to Xiao'er Taineng's advice last time, otherwise, Xiangyang City would now be in our bag." ”

Long Zhanye laughed and said: "General Gu doesn't have to be embarrassed, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, not to mention that it was only a small setback at the beginning." Li Yi is a famous general, and Xiangyang County cannot be won in one or two battles. ”

Zen Master Xuezhai said: "In addition, the shrine in western Henan has also sent reinforcements. ”

"Hahaha......" Long Zhanye slapped the table and laughed: "Sanchuan Nanyang, the weak soldiers in the world ......"

He laughed breathlessly, and then said to Zen Master Xuezhai: "Xuezhai, these eight words are known to the whole world, the question is, do you believe it?"

Zen Master Xuezhai said lightly: "I don't believe it. ”

"Fabulous. Long Zhanye said: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, and it is not used to show it. ”

Zen Master Xuesai continued: "Coming from the east are Ogasawara and Kiso Valley, one of the four great generals of Qingxu. ”

Long Zhanye smiled: "Came so far to take care of us...... Ogasawara is famous for its archers and horses, and the soldiers of Kiso Valley are good at mountain battles, and they are all known as strong soldiers......"

"Coupled with the Jiangbei Prefecture Army that watched our reserve troops on the edge of our Jingnan hometown, the enemies who pierced their hands were all together. ”

"Playing a small city has attracted so many good customers, I really look up to my dragon...... Hahahaha!"

Zen Master Xuezhai said: "My lord, our army has not conquered the city, and its morale has plummeted, and now it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation is extremely unfavorable......"

The number of enemies was close to twice that of the Shenxiao Army, which not only suffered many casualties due to the siege of the city, but also suffered a dull and frustrated army, lacking the will to fight.

General Gu also said: "Combine so many large and small princes who have contradictions and even feuds with each other, and launch a siege on us in unison, the time calculation is meticulous, the enemy's military division is really not simple, and there is the wind of the phoenix chick among the eight wonders of the ancient water mirror......"

Long Zhanye waved his hand: "Then solve the troublesome things at once." The order was given, and the whole army moved to the southwest and camped in the mountains. ”

Zen Master Xuezhai exclaimed: "My lord, the danger of Nanshan is not enough to resist the enemy, and it lacks water sources, and it is close to Yinjian City, so it is easy to be attacked by enemy troops out of the city. Doing more harm than good by camping like this!"

Long Zhanye had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The attack lies in the appearance, and the defense lies in the exterior." If not, how can the problem be solved?"

Zen Master Xuezhai was speechless, holding his forehead with his hand, thoughtful.

In the days that followed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the Shenxiao Army.

Food and water were rapidly depleted, and Long Zhanye was forced to reduce the food and water rations for his soldiers.

At first, it was possible to send a certain amount of supplies from the air through the Flying Sword Team, but when the encirclement network became tighter and narrower, and the battlefield was densely packed with bows and crossbows, the Flying Sword Team became helpless.

Unless they are masters of conquering the heavens, ordinary cultivators will become extremely fragile when flying high, and they will simply be a live target in front of the archery team.

What's more, there is also a flying sword team among the coalition forces.

The soldiers were dissatisfied with the lack of water.

The enemy's wave of attacks also caused heavy casualties to the Shenxiao Army.

Morale grew lower and lower, and the soldiers fled, decreasing day by day, and even surrendered to the enemy in whole groups.

Nanshan.

Long Zhanye and Zen Master Xuezhai stood side by side on the hillside.

"My lord, you are injured. Zen Master Xuezhai looked at the wounds on Long Zhanye's body.

The blood has a faint golden tinge.

"The dragon fights in the wilderness, and its blood is yellow. Long Zhanye said disapprerovingly: "If the boss can't take the lead and bleed himself, how can he boost his morale?"

Zen Master Xuezhai sighed secretly.

Long Zhanye rushed out of the camp with elites many times to attack the enemy army, although he came back with a number of heads each time, but it couldn't change the overall situation.

The army is still under siege, food is becoming scarce, and there are fewer and fewer soldiers capable of fighting.

The enemy's encirclement was well organized and impeccable, and its arrangement was by no means extraordinary.

"The trenches and traps have been dug up, and now the enemy does not dare to attack again, and there are many fewer soldiers fleeing...... "But ...... The squad we sent out to collect food was attacked and suffered heavy casualties. ”

In addition, the detachment that attacked the enemy's grain route was also ambushed by the enemy's generals, and almost all the troops were annihilated. ”

Because of the lack of food, Long Zhanye sent a team to act lightly and scavenge for grain and grass nearby, which sounded like a grain requisition, but in fact it was a robbery at all.

Although this practice alleviated some of the difficulties, it aroused the anger of the surrounding people, and more and more militia spontaneously joined the ranks of the besieging Shenxiao Army, participating in the construction of fortifications and besieging the Shenxiao Army.

The situation of Long Zhanye and the others is also becoming more and more difficult.

"My lord, I have a ...... plan," Zen Master Xuezhai rolled his bright eyes, considering how to express his opinion.

Long Zhanye waved his hand and interrupted him: "On such a good day, you can watch the mountains with peace of mind, why bother to say something bothering and spoil the scenery in vain?"

Zen Master Xuezhai had to smile leisurely: "Guanshan...... Why don't you talk about enjoying the mountains?"

Long Zhanye laughed: "The essence is different. ”

He also said: "It's getting late, there is a horse meat and horse blood banquet tonight, everyone be happy!"

Now the whole army has to slaughter horses, eat horse meat, and drink horse blood, but Long Zhanye still doesn't mind at all.

Zen Master Xuezhai's heart flashed.

He gathered his thoughts again.

Suddenly I understood something.

Ten days later.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there are only a few stars in the sky.

A group of foot soldiers marched through the mountains.

The queue is neat, the pace is exactly the same, and even if it marches through the thorns, it barely makes the slightest sound, showing excellent training.

Suddenly, countless torches burst on, and the sight was clear!

"Long Zhanye, die! I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

An old man with long legs and long hands, snorting nose and squinting eyes, and a fierce expression roared angrily, leading a group of men and horses to block the way of the team.

This person is wearing a Jinyin robe, and the magic weapon is very peculiar, it is a rattan ball sandwiched under the armpit.

"Hahahaha......" Long Zhanye laughed: "Old man Li Yi, fortunately." ”

The team behind him was almost in a formation at the snap of a finger, like an iron wall.

Li Yi sneered: "Long Zhanye, you said in the military discussion that you wanted to rob the camp and reverse the victory, but you said it to the details in the camp, the real purpose is to leave most of the troops behind, and break through with the team, as long as you save your life, you can make a comeback, am I right?"

Long Zhanye did not answer directly, but said: "Your team has a lot of people, but it is still indebted to take down this elite army behind me, and there are still two troops coming from the east and west directions." ”

Li Yi sneered: "So what? You will die here." ”

Long Zhanye said again: "But it's just your army, and there aren't many soldiers in Sanhe." ”

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly.

Long Zhanye said with a smile: "You are the leader of this alliance, and you will win the great merit of capturing and killing my Long Zhanye, and the loss of troops will be sent to other princes, so calculating, calculating." ”

"Moreover, the main camp of the Three Rivers Army is twenty miles northwest of Nanshan, facing mountains on three sides, and according to geography, it is the safest. If the coalition forces are defeated, it will not affect the Three Rivers Army, and the Three Rivers Army can also take advantage of the chaos to receive the defeated troops of the coalition army......"

"Regardless of victory or defeat, it is the benefit of Mikawa, in addition to the main strategy, there are more secondary strategies. The calculation of this military advisor is really exquisite. ”

Long Zhanye pointed at Li Yi's door with his finger: "In addition, I saw through my strategy of robbing grain, and I also broke my dragon formation a few days ago, this person's wisdom is not comparable to you......"

Li Yi sneered: "I can see that the person is not an old man, but it doesn't matter......"

Long Zhanye waved his hand: "No, no, it's been an hour, and it's not necessarily good." I'm just worried about your twelve-year-old grandson, Li Qing, for fear that he will be too premature, so arrogant that he will never enter the country again......"

Li Yi's body shook: "You...... How do you know it's Qing'er......"

Long Zhanye roared, like thunder: "Li Yi old horseman, take your life!"

actually took advantage of the situation and swept away, like a whirlwind, swooping towards Li Yi!

In the blink of an eye, the two armies were fighting together.

The other two troops also arrived soon, and in order to take down the dragon battlefield, all the elites of the coalition army were dispatched.

However, the deployment of the Long Zhanye was extremely exquisite, and in a hurry, the coalition forces could not take down the small force brought by the Long Zhanye.

In the middle of the battle, Long Zhanye glared at Li Yi.

"Can you consider what is going to happen to your main camp?"

When Li Yi heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's that group of soldiers, right? Qing'er already saw that there was something wrong with them...... Your real purpose is to use yourself as bait to divert our attention......"

"In addition, you also want to use those trenches that look like trenches to open tunnels and surprise the coalition forces, but unfortunately this is all in Qing'er's calculations......"

Long Zhanye said leisurely: "Old man Li Yi, you are right. ”

Li Yi bowed his head and said, "So, you are dead." ”

Long Zhanye waved his hand and said, "Wait." Do you know why I said I was worried about your grandson?"

Li Yi was stunned.

Long Zhanye said categorically: "In order to implement the so-called deputy strategy, he set up the camp in the withered leaf forest...... And my sub-strategy is a strategy that will make none of you ninth-rate military divisions hit. ”

Li Yi's face has really changed now.

"Fire ...... Fire Meter...... You're actually planning to burn you who infiltrated the Three Rivers military camp?"

Long Zhanye raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say before that I planned to abandon the main force and flee back?

On the horizon, there was a sudden fire in the sky, reflecting the red stratus clouds, and the sound of killing was loud!

Li Yi gritted his teeth: "Long Zhanye, don't think that you will win like this." This impeccable encirclement network will never be completely destroyed just because the Sanhe camp is burned, and you are still a turtle in the urn......"

Long Zhanye said casually: "What if you destroy Injima City?"

Inkyama Castle is the most important link in the encirclement that traps the Shenxiao Army.

Li Yi was taken aback.

Then he sneered: "How is it possible, you wait for the onslaught to lead the city for a month, and you lose your troops, and now you still want to destroy it......"

Before the words fell, a roar shook the sky.

Li Yi and the others were dumbfounded.

"A whole mountain, completely collapsed ......"

One soldier muttered, stiffened by the terrible sight of the heavens and the earth shattering.

Long Zhanye's eyes were sharp: "The Changsha dragon family has been passed down from generation to generation, looking for the art of dragon viewing. ”

"Digging trench traps and using tunnels as camouflage, in fact, using the gold diggers to destroy Nanshan, the landslide directly destroying the city, and then using mudslides to break through the coalition forces - and digging the ground to produce water can also supply the needs of the whole army!"

"Burn the Sanhe camp and attack the city with soil, this is my deputy strategy!"

Li Yi did not speak.

He knew that when the coalition army was over, the Three Rivers Army would also suffer heavy casualties.

The princes and horses who came to besiege and kill Long Zhanye collapsed one after another, and they were anxious to find out the situation of their comrades-in-arms and lords, and they no longer had the heart to fight.

"The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow!" Long Zhanye's face was cold, and he once again entered the coalition formation.

The sound was like thunder, the sky shook, and the gods and ghosts were frightened.

When the coalition soldiers heard this, their souls were devastated.

Wherever the dragon battle field passed, blood flowed like a river.

The same is true on the battlefield.

The Shenxiao soldiers, who pretended to escape, had quietly regrouped and occupied key positions in key passes, including the burning of the Sanhe military camp.

The time, landform, wind direction, and climate are all in Long Zhanye's calculations.

Zen Master Xuezhai has been watching coldly from the sidelines, and has not said a word.

He finally understood the true meaning of "the dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow".

Such a meticulous but thrilling plan must have a lord who regards life and death as extraordinary. Only for the sake of the generals who are not afraid of death, can the soldiers regard death as home.

In this battle, the coalition army lost more than 4,000 soldiers, and nearly 20,000 militia casualties.

Famous families such as Mikawa, Shindo, Ogasawara, and Kiso Valley all suffered heavy losses and withdrew their skills to recuperate. Iyigu and other factions in the southern counties have asked for surrender in the field army.

Affected by this battle, Jiangxia County, which still had a large number of resistance forces, was completely pacified, without the need for a single soldier.

In the land of Jingbei, only Xiangyang County has not yet been brought under the control of Shenxiao.

After the war, Long Zhanye and Zen Master Xuezhai once again stood side by side on the South Mountain.

The breeze is gentle and the sun is warm.

"As the lord said, troublesome things must be solved once and for all. Xue Zhai said slowly.

He looked down at the mountain, the mountain had changed dramatically, and the castle at the end of the mountain was completely covered in mud, and thousands of living beings, many of them children, were buried.

Long Zhanye was on his back, breathing in the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, but he still seemed to have the bloody smell of war.

"I don't really need a military advisor. "Long Zhanye is very neat.

If the lord has a complete plan, there is really no need for others to beak it.

When Zen Master Xuezhai heard this, he was gloomy for a while.

Yes, the lord himself is very resourceful. Under his command is Wang Yanyun, the uncle of the lord of Wen, and Fu Zhengcheng, a brave general with the courage of ghosts and gods, both of whom are national warriors for a while.

Being invited out of the mountains can only enrich the already huge think tank of the lord and decorate the façade.

But Long Zhanye then said, "But you are the only one who guessed my overall plan before it was fully launched. ”

Zen Master Xuezhai suddenly felt a heat in his hands, and he was held in the palm of his hand by a pair of strong hands.

Long Zhanye stared into his eyes.

"I like to use my own blood to boost morale, even to assassinate enemy generals myself. ”

"This is very effective, and I must also let Shenxiao have enough strength to compete in the world before the great world really comes. ”

"But now I'm in my early thirties, and I'm covered in wounds. If you overdraw too much longevity, you probably won't be able to enjoy your life. ”

"None of my current sons have enough to acquire the power of the world, and I am afraid they will not have in the future. ”

Long Zhanye patted Zen Master Xuezhai on the shoulder: "You are more than ten years younger than me, after I go, the future of Shenxiao will be handed over to you - please assist my sons who are not successful, please!"

After more than 30 years, Zen Master Xuezhai still feels the warmth of those big hands.

Tears welled up in his eyes again.

This time, the destruction of a strong enemy also relied on the strategy of showing the enemy's weakness and luring him into a trap step by step. The soul of the ancestor has protected the entire Shenxiao to this day.

Although Long Aotian is not as good as his god-like father, he is at least better than the previous ones.

With his own assistance, Shenxiao is not afraid of any strong enemy.

"Ancestor, Xuezhai does not disgrace its mission!" Seeing the scene of the enemy's defeat and retreat like a tide, Zen Master Xuezhai couldn't hold back his excitement and faded away from his usual calmness.

He ordered loudly: "All the troops, follow the poor monk to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and you will definitely capture and kill Su Mengzhen!"
