As soon as Wang Lin returned to the barracks, he stood in front of the map and stared, and it had been an hour.

Zhang Han couldn't stand it anymore.

"General Wang, Zhang is a martial artist, and Zhang doesn't understand the art of battle formation, but now the situation is urgent, and we are still waiting for you to make up your mind!"

Wang Lin sighed and looked back, looked at the lieutenant and the two lieutenants below, and sighed again.

"Now, the retreat route has been cut off, the army has insufficient food and grass, and the 25,000 reinforcements of the Qiaotou Zhenshuo Army will arrive the day after tomorrow! Wang Lin repeatedly miscalculated, trapped in a dangerous situation, if he can return to the court, he will take the initiative to ask for guilt. But now that the army is in danger, I hope you can help! ”

"Why did the general say this, planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, you and I have not been between life and death in these years, why be so pessimistic, the general just gives the order, I will obey everything!" Huangfu Qin took the lead in standing up and expressing his position.

Everyone also clenched their fists together.

"Good! Now the grain and grass in the army is less than three days, Chun Nei Dao was blocked by the Shuo army, the day after tomorrow Shuo 20,000 five reinforcements arrived in Qiaotou Town, the second prince is definitely also marching to Chun Nei Dao at this time, our chance is only one day tomorrow! Saying that, Wang Lin pointed to the map: "Huangfu Qin! ”

"The last general!"

"Early tomorrow morning, you led two thousand cavalry to ambush ten miles outside Jiaxian County, and now Jiaxian County has sent 5,000 troops to Santong Town, and the troops in the city will inevitably be insufficient, if you dare to go out of the city, you will be annihilated on the spot! Remember, don't attack the city, the Shuo army will start after ten miles out of the city, mainly to contain, don't attack the city impulsively! ”

"Yes!"

"Captain Lin!"

"The last general!"

"This general ordered you to lead 1,500 troops before dawn tomorrow, ambush fifteen miles outside Qiaotou Town, pay close attention to the situation in Qiaotou Town, Shuo reinforcements will arrive the day after tomorrow, if Qiaotou Town has more than 1,000 Shuo troops to reinforce Santong Town, then wait for the reinforcements to go away and immediately seize Qiaotou Town, once you occupy Qiaotou Town, immediately send someone to notify me and General Huangfu!"

"The last general commands!"

"General Zhang and others led an army of 8,000 to attack Santong Town with me, leaving 500 people in the camp and burning water according to 6,000 people to confuse the Shuo army." Wang Lin looked around: "By the turn of tomorrow afternoon, all the people from all walks of life will move closer to Santong Town, let's open up this retreat tomorrow afternoon, meet with the second prince, and take the inner county!" ”

"Please!" Wang Lin clasped his fists and saluted deeply to the people present.

…

At nightfall, the town of Santong.

The first earthen wall in front of it was unusually quiet, except for a few dead wind lamps and a hundred and ten patrolling Shuo soldiers.

Two hundred steps after the first earthen wall is Santong Town, Zhao Yingqi ordered the Shuo soldiers to rely on Santong Town to build a second oblique earthen wall, this earthen wall is higher and wider, two intersecting trenches are dug every fifty steps in front of the earthen wall, and the two trenches cross in the wilderness in a zigzag shape.

At this time, there were still soldiers busy in Santong Town and the second earthen wall, that is, the bed crossbow pulled by Zhao Yingqi and the convoy!

This bed crossbow has a range of up to four hundred paces.

Zhao Yingqi put the bed crossbow on the second earthen wall in order to surprise tomorrow's Zhou army.

Actually, this is not the only surprise!

…

This is the sixth day that Zhao Yingqi came to this world, before dawn Zhao Tong told her husband to tell her the day before to get him up, before the end of the day, after a few days of getting along, Zhao Tong interestingly found that her husband sometimes drools when he sleeps.

After Zhao Yingqi woke up, he felt uncomfortable, after all, sleeping in clothes was not in line with his habits, Zhao Tong served him to put on light armor, and kept persuading him to wear good armor.

Zhao Yingqi was unwilling, the outer armor had the mark of Shuoguo, and it would be difficult to put it on and take it off.

Out of this dwelling, through Santong Town, because of the war, the people of Santong Town have not known where to run, the town occasionally has Shuo army patrol soldiers walked by, all respectfully saluted Zhao Yingqi.

Stopped a soldier and questioned the lieutenant, who had prepared for defense at the first earthen wall.

The master and servant went to the first earthen wall and found the captain.

"Mr. Zhao, it's not dawn yet, why don't you sleep more?" The captain became more and more respectful, and the captain learned a lot from this positional battle.

"Well, the big war is coming, and I can't sleep well." Zhao Yingqi also stood on the earthen wall and glanced out.

The light of the dead air wind lamp shines out, and it is not clear in less than a dozen steps, this is foggy. But yes, the snow stopped the night before yesterday, and it has been sunny for two days, and it is easy to fog up when the snow freezes.

"How's this first earthen wall ready?"

"Mr. Annunciation, everything is ready, arrows, stones, and longbows are plentiful."

"Halving." Zhao Yingqi pulled out one from the cluster of arrows next to him and played with the flying feather behind him.

"What? Why, sir? The lieutenant was puzzled.

"Today's fog is heavy, and the defensive pressure of the first earthen wall is too great, and it is necessary to retreat to the second earthen wall earlier than originally planned." Zhao Yingqi found that the fog still had a tendency to slowly thicken, and it seemed that it would not disperse until the end of the day.

"Sir, our earthen wall is a sharp weapon against the cavalry, if it is defended, there is no need to retreat at all, and the last general will guarantee that it will be able to repel the Zhou army." The lieutenant was a little excited.

"Captain, don't be anxious, we don't need to fight Zhou Jun head-on, we need to add some small strategies, this is called tactics!" After that, Zhao Yingqi reinserted the arrow in his hand into the arrow cluster, turned around and went down the earthen wall, he still had to go to the second earthen wall, which was the real battlefield today.

As soon as he arrived at the second earthen wall to find Vice General Chen, who had come with him, and was about to ask how the defense was arranged, he heard a warning gong sounding at the first earthen wall.

Zhao Yingqi, who didn't care too much, had to hurriedly order Vice General Chen to gather his soldiers and prepare to meet the enemy, and then rode back to the lookout in front of Santong Town with Zhao Tong before riding around the edge.

At this time, the first earthen wall had all been lit with torches, a long dragon of dim lights, and the shadows could see that there were people fighting on it, and the sound of gold and iron resonance, fighting, and screaming was endless.

But standing in Zhao Yingqi's position, he saw very vaguely, Zhao Yingqi hated this feeling of not being able to see clearly, and the experience of his previous life told him that once the project was out of control, it would basically be yellow.

No, you have to be there!

made up his mind, ordered the herald standing next to him to send five hundred more soldiers to the first earthen wall at Deputy General Chen's place, then jumped on the war horse, and prepared to run along the edge of the mountain wall to the first earthen wall.

When they reached the northernmost section of the earthen wall, they could already see the cavalry of the Zhou State jumping on the earthen wall and killing Zhao Yingqi.

Zhao Tong snorted lightly, slapped the knife face of the Zhou soldier, and directly cut off the person and fell down the earthen wall.

At this time, Zhao Yingqi did not stop Zhao Tong, after all, the fog was very big, and few people in Zhou Jun would see Zhao Tong.

The master and servant marched south from the northernmost section, and along the way, the Shuo army was basically the upper hand, and the Zhou army occasionally jumped on the earthen wall, and they were either killed or slapped away by Zhao Tong.

Finally found the first earthen wall of the commander of the lieutenant, although Shuo is not as armed as Zhou, Wu, Chu, Chen several countries, but at least the three party can command the army (captain and above with 2,000 people) is implemented well, this captain is also a master of the top three, one person will guard the left and right three or four zhang of the earthen wall.

"Mr. Zhao, why risk coming to the front line, you better go back to the town first!" Zhao Tong took over the battle of the captain, and the captain was able to reply when he was free.

"You don't have to fight hard, just transfer five hundred people, hold on for another half an hour, and then retreat to the second earthen wall first!"

"Sir, we occupy the favorable terrain, we can hold it!" The captain saw Zhao Tong's superb skills, and he was even more confident and slow.

"Now is not the time to be rash, we must preserve our vitality, and it is not yet the time for a decisive battle!" Zhao Yingqi was very helpless, why bother with hard steel. Zhao Yingqi is only a white body, and he can't suppress this captain with a military order.

However, fortunately, the lieutenant knew the importance and said that after holding out for half an hour, he would look for an opportunity to withdraw to the second earthen wall.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Yingqi immediately descended the earthen wall and drove his horse to the open space between the first earthen wall and the second earthen wall. And Zhao Tong, who was behind him, saw her husband go down, and followed him, and kicked a Zhou soldier off the earthen wall before leaving.

The first earthen wall is not parallel to the second earthen wall, it is a pocket earthen wall, and the zigzag ditch is slightly different, the intersection of the first and third moats is northern, and the intersection of the second moat is southern.

Zhao Yingqi was not skilled in horseback riding, so when he returned to the second earthen wall after the front and back inspections, the soldiers of the first earthen wall were already ready to retreat, and according to Zhao Yingqi's request, one hundred and ten torches were inserted in the second earthen wall.

Five miles northwest of Santong Town, Wang Lin, Zhang Han and more than 7,000 cavalry were waiting for questioning, and after interrogating a few Zhou troops who had withdrawn from the first wave of tentative attacks, Wang Lin decided to officially start the attack.

Under the cover of foggy days, the losses of the Zhou army were obviously much lower than a day ago, and it was almost time at this time.

"God help me!" General Wang Lin is very confident, and General Wang Lin is ready to go up!

As a result, when the first wave of 3,000 Zhou troops slaughtered in front of the earthen wall, the shouting and killing sound that Wang Lin imagined did not come, and when he was worried in his heart, a soldier came back and said that the Shuo army had withdrawn...

Wang Lin was puzzled, why did such a good fortification be abandoned. Just now I saw a lot of torches added to the earthen wall, and I thought that the Shuo army had increased its troops, so I specially sent an extra thousand soldiers.

But doubts are doubts, the battle still has to be fought, and if you don't fight again, it will be difficult to fight when the fog clears when the day dawns.

When the whole army pressed forward for three miles, and ordered the soldiers to tear down the earth wall and fill the outermost layer and the inner ditch of the earth wall, they found that the sandbags used to build the earth wall were all strung together with hemp ropes, so it was no wonder that they could not be dragged by horses.

I didn't have time to think too much, and just as I was about to continue advancing, hundreds of ignited arrows were fired from the Shuo army from afar, and the flames on the arrows were very conspicuous in the dark night mist, and they fell on the open space between the two armies in a curve.

The rocket ignited more than twenty large fires, and the field of vision suddenly widened a lot, and the intersecting trenches on the ground could be faintly seen.

A lieutenant beside Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"This Shuo army is really kind, I'm afraid that our brothers will be planted in it."

Immediately caused a burst of laughter.
