When Dou Bo was there, he never said such nonsense, and Lin Haotian didn't want to hear this, so before Tao Hua finished speaking, he slapped down the table and asked: "As a commander, don't you know whether the armament is sufficient or insufficient? Do you want this marshal to check on your behalf?"

Tao Hua's frightened body trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and he said urgently: "Foot, foot, foot!

"En!" Lin Haotian's face softened, he pondered for a moment, and said: "In this case, this commander will not allocate armaments to your department, after all, the armaments of our army are not very sufficient now, and the first and second armies that go to fight in the south need to have a lot of logistical support. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Tao Hua replied repeatedly.

The civil and military generals who can usually discuss with Lin Haotian are very close to him, and they all know Lin Haotian's personality, so their attitude is very calm and their speech is natural, but Tao Hua is not, although he is the deputy commander of the Third Army, he has not met Lin Haotian many times, let alone spoken a few times, so he seems nervous and flustered.

He was unnatural, Lin Haotian felt even more awkward, he stared at Tao Hua, and couldn't help asking: "General Tao, is this handsome man so hateful, like a ghost?"

Tao Hua was frightened by Tang Yin's questioning, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, my lord's martial arts are outstanding." ”

"Hehe!" Lin Haotian laughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Okay, that's all the things that Ben Shuai wants to explain, you can continue to deliberate!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"The last general sends my lord!" the generals of the Third Legion led by Tao Hua saluted in unison.

Leaving the tent of the Third Legion, Lin Haotian did not leave the camp of the Third Legion immediately, but turned around and went to Dou Bo's tent.

When Lin Haotian arrived, Dou Bo was sitting in the tent reading a book when he saw an adult coming. He put down the book in his hand without hurry, then knelt down on the placket of his clothes and saluted, and said, "My lord!"

"En!" Lin Haotian responded, walked up to Dou Bo, picked up the book he put down, and said casually: "Get up!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Dou Bo read a relatively unpopular military book. Lin Haotian flipped it a few times, and then put it back, he raised his eyes to look at Dou Bo, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly with a smile: "Dou Bo, this commander is about to go on the expedition, but he doesn't plan to take you with me." ”

After speaking, he stared at Dou Bo with his eyes intended, seeing how he reacted.

However, Lin Haotian was disappointed. Dou Bo's face did not show any sadness or loneliness in the cold, he was still calm, and he said lightly: "The last general wishes the Lord victory." ”

Lin Haotian once again understood how difficult it was to make Dou Bo succumb, he shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care, and said leisurely: "You can stay in the camp for me honestly and in a proper manner! I want you to see, without you, I can still go west and destroy the wood!"

Dou Bo bowed his head and said: "My lord is heroic and brave, and he is ambitious. The battle of destroying the wood is naturally easy to win!"

Lin Haotian didn't feel that Dou Bo was praising himself no matter how he heard this.

"Hmph!" Lin Haotian snorted heavily. said: "You stay in the camp and give me a good reflection, when the reflection is clear, I will reactivate you when the reflection is clear, the reflection is not clear, just prepare to die in the army!" After speaking, Lin Haotian flicked his robe sleeves. Breathlessly, he strode away.

After Lin Haotian left, Ling Wuya sighed softly, and when he passed by Dou Bo's side, he whispered dissatisfiedly, "General Dou Bo, since your lord is willing to come to see you. It means that the anger of the adults has almost disappeared, and it is for you to give a step down so that you can reactivate you, but you ...... Why are you so stubborn?"

Dou Bo looked at Ling Wuya gratefully, smiled lightly, and said, "I think I haven't done anything wrong, if the adults refuse to forgive, I can't do anything." ”

"You ......" Lin Haotian's temper was stubborn, but Dou Bo was even more stubborn, Ling Wuya shook his head helplessly, for fear that he would delay too long and cause Lin Haotian's dissatisfaction, he simply threw down a sentence: "General Dou Bo should do it himself!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked out.

The next day, early in the morning.

The Third Army was the first to set out, and the army of 60,000 men marched westward.

As soon as the Third Legion left, the Fourth Legion also set up camp and pulled out the village, followed by the scattered Legions, and went straight to Wangfeng County.

When they arrived at the junction of Wangfeng County and Jiangxi County, the Fourth Army Corps of 100,000 people was stationed in place, and the Third Army Corps, as the vanguard, continued to advance and entered the territory of Wangfeng County.

The head of the county of Wangfeng County is named Cao Xiong, this person is a military general, familiar with the war strategy, very good at using soldiers, as early as when the Jin army attacked the Jiangxi camp, he began to actively gather the local army and militia of the whole county, in the past few days, the wooden army of Wangfeng County has gathered to 50,000 or 60,000 people, although the strength can not compete with the Jin army, but they are local operations, familiar with the terrain, occupy the geographical advantage, people and advantages.

Unlike Jiangdong and Jiangxi, Wangfeng County is mountainous and hilly, with complex terrain and extensive woodland, so if you rush into it regardless of it, you are very likely to be ambushed by enemy troops.

Tao Hua's ability is limited, but he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and after following Dou Bo for so long, he also knows the way of using soldiers.

After entering Wangfeng County, he ordered the whole army to move slowly and advance step by step, and at the same time, all the spies of the army were sent out by him to ensure the absolute safety of the whole army within ten miles.

Every time it was time to rest, as long as it was more than an hour, he would let his soldiers build earthen walls, erect repulsion horses, and make a perfect defense system.

His march so cautiously was slow, but it also prevented the enemy from seizing the opportunity to sneak attack.

On the third day of entering Wangfeng County, the Third Legion finally ushered in its first battle. Standing in the way of the road is a small earthen castle in the wood country, or perhaps a small military fortress.

This small fortress is less than a mile in radius, and there are only about 3,000 wooden troops stationed there, although so, Tao Hua does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, he ordered the whole army to be stationed at a place about five miles away from the fortress, and then sent spies to the army to carefully probe the fortress within a radius of ten miles to confirm that there are no ambushes in the shadows, and then he put his mind at ease and gave the order to attack.

60,000 people, storming a small land guarded by 3,000 people, there is no need to fight at all, and the small fortress can be leveled in one walk.

However, the resistance of the wooden army in the small fortress was very tenacious, and it actually blocked the first round of strong attack of the third legion, and when the third legion was readjusted and did the second round of onslaught, the fortress finally could not resist, and the four earthen walls, three sides were collapsed, and the third legion rushed in from the outside, and started hand-to-hand combat with the wooden army inside.

This is a battle without suspense, only 3,000 people, even if they are possessed by the gods, they can't compete with 60,000 people, and soon, none of the 3,000 wooden troops ran away, most of them were killed in battle, and hundreds of others were captured alive, including the main general of the fortress, a commander of the wooden army.

Unexpectedly, the first battle was won so easily, Tao Hua, who had been cautious since entering Wangfeng County, couldn't help but feel proud, and surrounded by many generals and guards, Tao Hua walked into the fortress with his head held high.

As he walked inside, he asked, "What are the losses of our army in this battle?"

A partial general replied: "General, the casualties are less than 1,000. ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, our army destroyed more than 2,400 enemies and captured more than 500 enemy troops. ”

Tao Hua said with a smile: "Send someone to escort all the captives back to Hexi and hand them over to the adults." ”

In fact, there were only hundreds of Mu army prisoners, Tao Hua, as the commander of the first army, had every right to decide whether to kill or release, and the reason why he wanted to escort him to Lin Haotian was mainly to show Lin Haotian that he had succeeded in the first battle and had won the victory in his mission.

He is the commander of the whole army, no matter how ridiculous his orders are, the people below must carry them out unconditionally, and the generals will be in unison.

"General, our army also captured a corps commander of the Mu Army, is it also escorted to Jiangxi?"

"Oh?" Tao Hua didn't expect to be able to capture an enemy commander in such a small fortress, which was an unexpected gain, and he said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Bring him back and let me see him first!"

"Yes! General!"

After a short time, a general of the Mu Army who was tied up by five flowers was escorted over by several Jin soldiers. (To be continued......)
