Chapter 104: Fighting Outside the City
"General, the scouts from the front have reported that the Tempest Cavalry Regiment led by Wushu Jie has passed Dawa and will arrive at Kusu tomorrow evening." Song You walked into the stone hall and bowed down to ask for instructions: "Now that Wu Dashan Yu has issued a letter of state for an armistice and peace, do we still have to prepare for war?" ”
"Naturally, you have to prepare." Ling Li slowly turned around, "The forces of the Wushu family are covering the sky with one hand in Xili, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Wushu Sect will not forcibly attack the city under the banner of King Qin, so as to take the opportunity to get rid of the Wuda royal family." After all, he has an army of 200,000 and is always a huge threat to our dynasty, and we must weaken his power as much as possible! ”
"The army of Wushulu is still on the way back, although the Storm Cavalry Regiment is brave and good at fighting, it is not suitable to fight in a town like Kusu, we can let go of the gate of Kusu, please enter the urn, disperse and annihilate." Zhang Yi on the side proposed.
This is indeed a good way, but when he thought of the tragic consequences of the battle between the two armies in the city, Ling Li shook his head categorically, "Kusu is the holy land of the people of Xili, if you want Xili to make friends with South Vietnam, you can't lose the hearts of the people of Xili." ”
"The general has a point. We'd rather have a fierce battle outside the city than let those hungry wolves into the city!" Song You agreed with Ling Li's point of view that this war was originally to stop fighting, not to kill. Before the Zhenxi Army set out, Ling Li said that he would avenge the people of South Vietnam in the border areas, but in the year of the war with the Xili army, after witnessing the suffering of the people of Xili, he had long since stopped mentioning it. Only benevolent people who care about the hearts of the people are truly strong!
Just as Ling Li speculated, Wushu turned around and gave up the hard-won Huifeng Ridge, not to be loyal to the Wuda royal family, but to use the banner of King Qin to seize Kusu with the 200,000 army in his hands and establish himself as the king.
Ling Li decided to fight against the Wushu Jie at the camel set thirty miles away from Kusu City. In order to deal with the Storm Cavalry Regiment with super combat strength, he ordered Zhang Yi to gather the blacksmiths in Kusu City overnight and rushed to make a batch of special thistles. He also ordered Song You to collect a batch of ropes in the city and bury them in the sand under the camels.
After all the preparations were ready, Ling Li personally took the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to the Camel Market to meet the battle.
The place where the camel collection is located was originally a raised mountain beam outside the city of Kusu, which was eaten by the wind and sand day and night, and gradually became a slope of earth with a height of several feet. The slope has the effect of blocking the wind and sand, so there are some camel caravans that transport goods here to rest and exchange goods, and gradually form today's camel set.
It is the end of autumn, the autumn is high and cool, and the banner of the Zhenxi Army embroidered with the word "Ling" is hunting on the soil slope of the camel set.
A few miles away, the Wushu Jie saw this dense group of flags. Under the sunset, these maroon flags look particularly scarlet and dazzling.
"General, the large army led by General Xiao Wushu will take at least a day to arrive, we are tired and hurrying here, but the Zhenxi army is in a tight position, and at this moment we are fighting head-on, I am afraid that we will suffer some losses." After seeing the banner on the slope of the camel's gathering on horseback, Lu Luqi turned his head to the side and said to the vultures.
"It makes sense, let the brothers rest in place, you immediately send scouts over to investigate, which general is the leader of the Zhenxi Army this time?" Wushujie also thought of this layer, stopped his horse's steps, and ordered the soldiers who had been running for hundreds of miles overnight to dismount and rest.
In the Chinese military tent under the camel set, Ling Li was leaning on the marching chair and closing his eyes to recuperate. Now his eyesight has recovered seventy or eighty percent, and he can see things up close, but his eyes are a little dry after looking in strong sunlight for a long time.
"Report to the General, our men have just caught a spy sent by the Wushu Sect." Song You entered the account and reported.
"Bring it in!"
Two guards of the Zhenxi Army put a five-flowered West Plough scout into the big tent and knelt in front of Ling Li.
"Don't look at you being so arrogant now, General Wushu's 200,000 army will arrive soon, and your mere 80,000 people are not enough to warm up for the blood-drinking knives of the breezer brothers!" The West Plough scout stalked his neck and said indignantly.
"And 200,000? How did I hear that the Wushu Refutation is the Huifeng Ridge that stepped on the bones of your Xili soldiers......" Ling Li opened his eyes suddenly.
The West Plough Scout was taken aback by Ling Li's eagle-like sharp gaze, "You, you are ......"
"Don't you know? Didn't the vultures send you my portrait?! ”
In order to boost morale, Wu Shujie once sent a portrait of Ling Li to every Xili soldier, and threatened that as long as Ling Li was captured alive on the battlefield, he would be able to worship the general and rank as a marquis.
"Zhenxi will ...... Checkmate? After reacting to who the man in front of him was, the Xili scout suddenly panicked, "You, haven't you been killed by the killers of the Night Rain Pavilion?!" ”
"It's a bit of a pity, this seat is hard, and Lord Yan didn't dare to accept it." Ling Li stood up from the marching chair, and his tall and burly posture made the neck of the Xili scout involuntarily soften, "I might as well tell you that Wu Dashan Yu has already issued a letter of request for peace, and I don't want to fight, if Wushu is willing to hand over the military power, the Zhenxi army will leave the border of Xili on the same day." ”
"Shan Yu ordered a letter of sue for peace?!" The scout looked up in surprise again.
Ling Li raised his hand towards Song You, "Give him the national letter to see." ”
Song You immediately took out a gilded document from the table and opened it in front of the scout of Xili.
The scouts of Xili read the words in the volume, and after seeing the signature of Wuda Shan Yu and the gold seal of the national seal, they sighed: "Finally, there is a truce." ”
"Untie him." Ling Li instructed, "Pick a fast horse and send him back to deliver a message to the Wushu Refutation." ”
"Yes!"
After the Xili scout rode the fast horses of the Zhenxi Army back to the camp of the Blaster Regiment, he immediately reported to the Wushu Refutation what he had discovered.
"Are you sure you're right, it's Ling Li himself who is leading the troops?!" The face of the vultures changed dramatically.
"Just like the portrait issued by the general, he is eight feet long, wearing silver-white armor, and there is a scar on the left side of his eyebrow......" The Xili scout described Ling Li's appearance in detail, and told him all about his conversation with Ling Li.
"You said that Wu Dashan Yu issued a letter of suing for peace?!" Luqi's eyes widened.
"Yes, the villain took a closer look at the letter of state, and it was indeed the signature and gold seal of Wuda Shan Yu, which was exactly the same as the seal on our conscription order before. General Na Zhenxi also said that as long as General Wushu gives up your military power, he ......"
"Uhhh
Before the scout could finish speaking, a silver light flashed, and his head was cut off to the ground.
"Hugh is going to listen to his nonsense! He obviously fell for the tricks of the Zhenxi Army, and was sent back to disturb the hearts of my Xili Army! Wu Shujie withdrew his scimitar and wiped the blood on the knife on his tiger skin boots, "Wu Da Dan Yu ordered nine wolf smoke to be lit, and urgently summoned me to wait for King Qin, how could he write a letter of suing for peace so quickly!" ”
It took a while for Lu Qi to come back to his senses as he watched the bloody scene of blood gushing from his neck seeping into the sand as the scout fell to the ground. He slid his throat and asked dryly, "General, should we send someone to try to sneak into the royal court to find out the truth again?" ”
"That's exactly what I thought, too. When the sky is dark, you will lead people to attack the Zhenxi army head-on to attract attention, and I will take people from the lower reaches of the Kusu River to dive into the royal court to listen to the truth. ”
Wushu has a plan in his heart. He knew a waterway to the royal court, and if he could sneak into the palace at night, control Wuda Danyu, and take him to the underground chamber of the palace to wait for the army led by Wushu Jinchang to enter the city, the tide of this already lost battle could be completely reversed.
