Liangshan blacksmiths are not inefficient.

On the third day, the blacksmith made ten masks and placed them in the lobby in a large wooden tray.

This blacksmith obviously put a lot of thought into it, Cao Cao's original intention, as long as he covered his appearance, at this moment, they were all finely carved, and they were all in the shape of Yaksha ghosts.

I found myself wearing it on my face, the size was appropriate, because the mouth was not opened, and I was sullen when I said it, but even my voice changed.

Tongchao Gai and others looked at the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, there were more than 1,000 horse troops, and the rest were infantry troops, which could be regarded as usable when they were drilled.

Another day, in the evening, the Malay newspaper reported that Huyanzhuo's army was encamped fifty miles away, and the next day it could reach Liangshan.

In the Juyi Hall, Chao Gai looked around, got up and said: "The imperial court soldiers and horses are coming, how to use the soldiers, please ask the martial brother to decide." ”

If you change someone else, such a noisy thing will inevitably be humble again and again.

Cao Cao took it as a deed, stood up and said in a deep voice: "This time the eight thousand strong troops of the imperial court came to conquer, which is the first major battle since the establishment of Liangshan Village, so the internal situation of the cottage is not something that the enemy can predict. ”

He smiled: "He doesn't know me, but I know him." Since he is the son of a generation of generals, and has never experienced a major war, now he is commanding elite soldiers and recruiting grass, and his heart will be proud! In this way, the enemy generals should speculate that we will not dare to fight in the field, and want to borrow water to protect themselves. After all, how can we not be afraid when we see the army of the imperial court? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "It's extreme, it's extreme, it's said that when you beat us, you were so scared that you ate two more bowls of rice." ”

Song Jiang shouted: "Don't laugh, listen to how Brother Wu draws a plan!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and groaned: "It's just a surprise and a dilemma for him." Our soldiers were divided into three routes, the first way, selected a thousand light and swift warriors, all with fire-inducing things, walked the mountain and forest paths overnight, avoided his scouts and horses, and went straight to the front of his camp five miles, but hid far away in the forest, and only sent brothers with quick legs to be spies to probe close to investigate. When he marches tomorrow, the horse army will go out first, and the elite infantry army will follow, and the baggage will follow. When my spy here saw the infantry passing by, he went to tell the brigade to go forward to cover the attack, and when his baggage passed, he killed it in one fell swoop, burned its grain and grass, and destroyed its baggage. ”

Song Jiangxian nodded again and again when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses: "Ah, he was facing Shadow Mountain, didn't he beat me like this?" So much so that he broke Yan Shun, ran away from Zheng Tianshou, lost Qin Ming, and Huang Xin......"

Cao Cao didn't know that Song Jiang's memory was so good, and he was afraid that these people would be careless, so he spoke very carefully, and everyone listened attentively, only listening to him: "The Second Route Army, choose a thousand good shooters, a thousand strong soldiers, and also take a small road to bypass the scouts, set up an ambush ten miles outside his camp, generally hide in the forest, send a few spies to peep in front, wait for the horse infantry army to pass by before hiding on the side of the road to ambush, when he returns to the army to rescue and retreat, first shoot it with random arrows, his army will be chaotic, and another thousand people take the opportunity to kill." ”

Song Jiang thought to himself, it was really an old routine, it seemed that this person used soldiers, and it was nothing more than that.

Cao Cao didn't know that he was underestimated, so he said to himself: "The third route army, all of which are horse troops, lead them with brave generals, send troops early tomorrow morning, lined up twenty miles outside his camp, one attracts him to scout and explore the horse's ears and eyes, and the other is that he sees my Chen soldiers in front, and he will rush to fight, and the horse army will open up with the infantry army, and when something happens to his rear, the return to the army rescue is blocked, and the horse army will take advantage of the situation to attack, and the enemy can be broken in one fell swoop!" ”

Song Jiang heard this, and couldn't help but say: "He has 3,000 horse troops, and I only have more than 1,000 people, if his horse army doesn't go back to the rescue, but comes to fight me in a decisive battle, what should I do?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Therefore, the leader of the army, must be able to adapt to the situation, if he comes to the decisive battle, I will take him in circles, if he kills the infantry army, burns all the baggage, thousands of horse troops, the forage is not even, and he fights for a few days, the backhand can be broken." ”

Wu applauded: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Can but show can't, use and show not to use, near and show far, far and show near! This is really the right thing to do! ”

Chao Gai was also overjoyed, and said, "Then how will Jiang Zuo be transferred?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The leader of the mountain, naturally Brother Chao knows what he is good at, so he will be dispatched by Brother Chao, and I will arrange for my brother here to help." ”

Chao Gai thought about it, he came to transfer troops, and I came to dial the generals, this is the two of us to break the enemy! Brother Wu really knows my ability!

deliberately frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "The first team of soldiers needs to be familiar with the terrain, so Liu Tang will be the leader!" I have to fight in close quarters again, well, the two brothers Wang Daoren and Bao Xu, go and help. ”

"As for the second team!" Chao Gai looked left and right: "Brother Hua Rongxian is indispensable, so let Wang Ying, Du Qian, and Song Wan help each other." ”

"As for Ma Jun, I will be the leader myself, and then I want the Lin Jiaotou and Tang Bin brothers to help. The rest of the people are guarding the cottage with Gongming's virtuous brothers. Brother Wu, you see, can you do this? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "How can you not do it? Then let Shi Xiu and Xue Yong help Liu Tang, Niu Gao, Luan Tingyu, and Mu Hong to help Hua Rong, and I will watch the king kill the enemy, how about it? ”

Chao Gai became more and more relieved when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "If this is the case, it is foolproof." ”

Song Jiang listened and said hurriedly: "Brother, you are the master of the cottage, you can't go out lightly, so the younger brother will lead the horse army." ”

Chao Gai shook his head again and again: "Brother, don't you see what Brother Wu said?" This leading horse army, the most important thing is to adapt to the situation, brother, you are loyal, or sit in the cottage. ”

……

Next.

The sky was slightly bright, the night patrol horses returned, and in the camp of the Song army, there were gradually human voices.

Soon, wisps of green smoke floated up, and one by one the sergeants lazily walked out of the tent, put on their clothes and armor, and each had their own war meals.

At this time, the day was already bright, the sergeants followed their respective officers, a group of troops drove out of the camp, the sergeants and people in charge of the baggage, began to quickly dismantle the tents, and even the wooden stakes needed to build the village, etc., were trapped on the cart, and when they were done, the elite of the horse army and the infantry army were exhausted, and they drove the cart and carried the burden slowly on the road.

After walking four or five miles, I suddenly heard a whistle in the forest, and countless bandits shouted to kill, all of them were dressed in leather armor, holding spears and short knives in their hands, and within a moment, they rushed into the Song army array.

A team officer suddenly exclaimed, "Are the people in front of you blind?" The thieves lying on the side of the road can't see it? ”

Before the words fell, I saw a big man, with a hideous iron face on his face, strode to the front, and slashed with a knife, this team officer raised a knife to meet him, but the opponent's knife was extremely smart, and the fit turned around, and a knife cut off the head of the team officer, and a cavity of blood looked straight at the sky and sprayed away!

The big man cut down two soldiers with his backhand, and shouted: "Only kill officers and soldiers, don't kill people!" The other masked man came and shouted, "Brother, I'll help." ”

Wang Daoren rushed out of the forest, shook his head and muttered: "If you don't kill the people, what kind of good person do you pretend?" Lao Tzu is biased! As he spoke, a pair of swords came out of their sheaths, and the sword light exploded, like a green rainbow, killing several people in a row, all of them officers and soldiers.

Liu Tang said: "This brother is chivalrous, listen to him." With a wave of his sword, he killed a few officers and soldiers who wanted to line up.

Bao Xu was silent, and the heavy mourning sword was specially selected to be cut down by the strong officers and soldiers.

When those people saw such a murderer, they all bit their fingers and trembled, squatting and trembling underneath, because Shi Xiu kept reminding them, and the Liangshan thieves were not easy to start.

After a while, many large carts were set on fire, and the thick smoke rushed straight into the sky, which could be seen more than ten miles away.

At the front, Hu Yanzhuo had just been rewarded by the horses, and more than a thousand horse troops lined up in front, and they couldn't help but be angry and happy.

Angry is Shuibo grass cowards, they dare to stand in front of themselves, happy that these horse soldiers must be the elite of thieves, if they are killed, the remaining grass cowards will be difficult to roll out of the waves, so they led the team forward, and suddenly heard someone rushing forward, and suddenly heard someone rushing to the horse, and shouted in horror: "The general is not good!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo looked back and saw the green smoke rising high behind him, and looking at the location, it must have been burned by someone.

This surprise was really not trivial, and the two pioneers, Han Tao and Peng Xi, exclaimed in unison, shouting: "General, if the grain and grass are lost, how can you beg the thief?" I had to retreat first! ”

Hu Yanzhuo was also so angry that he gritted his teeth, but shook his head and said, "No! I Dao Cao Kou'an dared to fight in formation, but it turned out that the division of troops attacked my rear road. If I retreat, how can I not be defeated when his horsemen rush? Such a bad plan dares to be played in front of me - you two take half of the horsemen to quickly return to help, save the baggage, and lead the other half of the horsemen forward, which is enough to break through the enemy line and kill the leader! ”

After that, half of the soldiers and horses were ordered, and they rushed forward with murderous spirit.

Han Tao and Peng Xi glanced at each other, and Peng Xi said: "I expect him to be a hay coward, who can defeat the main general?" I'm going to save the food and grass as soon as possible. ”

There is a division of teaching: the virtual and the real change cover the edge, and the soldiers have always been treacherous. Set the score of troops to push the martial arts, and plan to adjust the general to see the king!
