Bai Junlang and Gu Taineng retreated into the formation at the same time, hiding in the depths of the crowd.

When the battle was over, they finally looked tired.

The fierce battle lasted for most of the day, and the physical exertion was really expensive. What's more, the injuries of both seem to be not light.

The result of the draw does not seem to have had any impact on the morale of both sides. However, the challenge lasted for such a long time, but it allowed the soldiers on both sides, who were also tired from the long journey, to recover their physical strength.

"Let Su Mengzhen take a small advantage. Li Xun said to Long Aotian: "While the Shentang Army is recovering its strength, the frustration caused by the loss of Dao Palace City will also be weakened. ”

Long Aotian's eyes were calm: "It has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Of course he could see that.

Gu Taineng and Su Youguang's single challenge became a long-lasting duel, which was obviously expected by the battle-experienced Su Mengzhen.

However, when the two armies are facing each other, if one side has a flaw in the formation, the other side will quickly attack, and if the position is very stable, then it is also a practice for both sides to send a master to fight alone.

If Long Aotian refused, he would be demoralized.

However, Long Aotian was really full of confidence in this battle. Flying to seize the Dao Miyagi, Su Mengzhen had to retreat to the more unfavorable decisive battle of Burning Beanzaka, and had already seized the initiative in the war.

And the Shenxiao Three Rivers Coalition Army has an advantage in terms of troops.

In the middle of the Chinese army, Long Aotian leaned on the armrest of the chariot, looked at Li Xun and said, "What do you think of the formation on the opposite side?"

The area was blocked out by a stripe, and only a few of them could hear each other's words. And Long Aotian's extremely doting cousin Feng Shushuang is not here.

Li Xun took off his sword and swept into the air, swept his eyes by the light of the setting sun, and then said: "According to our report, the strength of the Shentang Army is about 9,000 people. But now there are not so many troops on the mouth of the Burning Bean Saka Valley. ”

Long Aotian said firmly: "There are ambush soldiers. ”

Li Xun nodded: "With such a valley mouth terrain, the Shentang army is deployed on the back of the valley, and with Su Mengzhen's character, it is unreasonable not to set up ambushes." ”

"Not bad. Long Aotian looked at Gu Taineng: "Please General Gu lead the most elite rear army to escort the formation and deal with the ambush of the Divine Hall." ”

His arrangement was really well thought out.

Gu Taineng was injured in a vicious battle with Su Youguang, and it was not suitable for him to go to the front line to fight in person, but after all, he was a general, and he could give full play to his energy in the army.

The coalition army has a numerical advantage, so the combat effectiveness of the front army does not need to be too strong, and let the veterans of the hundred battles recharge their strength in the rear, and enter the battle at the last moment, it is very likely that the exhausted Shentang army will be defeated. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the Shentang ambush must not be bad, and troops with sufficient combat effectiveness are needed to deal with it.

This arrangement can also allow the recruits to bathe in more tragic battles, accelerate their growth, and save the elite veterans to the greatest extent.

Long Aotian laughed again and said, "My brutal cousin will be handed over to General Gu to take care of." ”

Although Feng Lushuang must come to the battlefield, Long Aotian was worried that she would make a mistake, so he did not let her be in the Chinese army, but placed her in the rear army.

Gu Taineng said resolutely: "If Miss Feng loses a hair, Gu will come to see her." ”

After speaking, he led the order to the rear army.

"Where are the ambush soldiers?" Long Aotian watched Gu Taineng leave and continued to ask Li.

Li Xun groaned slightly, and then pointed to the valley.

Long Aotian laughed out loud and continued to ask, "Why not on the mountains on both sides of the valley?"

Li Xun said calmly: "The two mountains are steep and there are many thorns on them, if you hide troops in the mountains, you can only travel lightly to ensure that you can quickly enter the battlefield." However, the strength of the Shentang army was already at a disadvantage, but the ambush troops needed to play a role in turning the tide of the battle at a critical moment, and the light infantry with weak protection was obviously incompetent. ”

"From the south of Anxiang Castle to the valley of Burning Beanzaka, there are many caves on both sides, and soldiers can be hidden inside. ”

Long Aotian patted Li Xun on the shoulder: "Little brother, you're right, but there is one more point." ”

He sniffed, showed a disgusted expression, and said, "It's late autumn now, and the wind is from north to south. ”

Li Xun said extremely alertly: "What did Brother Long smell?"

Long Aotian said: "My nose has been extremely sensitive since I was a child, and I can smell smells that others can't. There is a bad smell blown by the wind. Su Mengzhen placed poison in the valley. ”

Li Xun was slightly stunned: "Poison, since they have set up an ambush in the valley, won't they poison themselves if they put poison again?"

Long Aotian showed a smug look of superior skills, straightened his waist and said: "The battle of the army is not a personal duel, and it is impossible to achieve large-scale damage with drugs and poisons, otherwise it is very likely that you will not be able to kill the enemy, and you will hurt your own army." At the same time, there is really no such powerful drug. ”

"The poison used by Su Mengzhen should rely on the unpleasant smell to stimulate our army. When the battle is halfway over, the poison is ignited, and the smell will become a hundred times stronger, blowing from north to south, hindering the combat effectiveness of our army. And the other army charged from the north to our army in the south, and the leeward movement was much less affected. ”

"This truth is actually the same thing as fire attack. ”

He is twice as old as Li Xun, and of course his knowledge is far above Li Xun.

Li Xun Qingmei smiled: "Brother Long must have a good plan to deal with it." ”

Long Aotian laughed, his eyes were like torches: "That's nature." ”

"Su Mengzhen's plan must be that if he can't withstand the onslaught of our army, he will shrink the front, retreat into the valley, lure our army into the valley, and then launch an ambush. If our army sees through the strategy and does not chase into the valley, it will not be considered a victory, this battle is just a draw, and Su Mengzhen has saved face. ”

"And the Shenxiao army can't stay in Xiangyang County for a long time, Su Mengzhen waits until the Shenxiao army withdraws, and then he can continue to invade Sanhe. ”

Li Xun pursed his thin lips: "The morale is not high, and when the troops are insufficient, don't seek victory, first seek undefeated." This is indeed a very sound plan. ”

Su Mengzhen was defeated by Xue Yiren of Tianzi Peak five years ago, losing nearly 3,000 elite soldiers. After such a fiasco, Su Mengzhen should not dare to take any more risks.

Long Aotian snapped his fingers: "It's very safe, but unfortunately there is a fatal flaw." ”

He showed a mysterious and evil smile: "The Shentang army must ensure that it retreats steadily and faces our army all the time in order to retreat into the valley safely. ”

"If we crush the Shrine Army to the brink of collapse while the poison is burning, they will flee into the valley with their backs to us, and if they go against the wind, the poison will all poison themselves. And the valley that is not very open will also cause them to collide with each other and kill each other. The main soldiers of the Shentang Army and the ambush soldiers will collide head-on. ”

"We don't have to go into the valley at all, we just have to drive them into the valley like a flock of sheep, and we can let them rout like a landslide. ”

If the Shentang army is so defeated, although the defeated army can escape into Anxiang City, the coalition army will not be able to conquer such a fortified city for a while. However, when the lords in the north of Anxiang City heard the news of the disastrous defeat of the Shentang army, they would definitely turn back one after another.

Wars depend on people's hearts, and they can influence people's hearts to determine the situation in the world. And the war of annihilation generally only occurs when the difference in strength between the two sides is very large.

Long Aotian continued: "But to achieve this, extremely subtle battlefield control is required. ”

On Li Xun's delicate little face, his expression became solemn.

"Please look forward to our performance. ”

We mean the Three Rivers Army.

In the formation of the coalition forces, the left flank was the elite light cavalry of Iiya, and the right flank was 3,000 Mikawa foot soldiers.

It must be proved that after the defeat of Anxiang City, the Three Rivers Army still has strong combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Three Rivers Sword Sect would lose its value to the Divine Sky Dao and would be in danger of being digested.

Long Aotian showed an approving gaze: "Work hard! Victory and glory belong to you and me." ”

The look of confidence in his eyes made it seem that the enemy army was in his pocket.
