The Great General is a formally trained eagle.

It's on a mission!

It never expected it to be targeted!

What it didn't expect was an unscrupulous female eagle staring at it!

Its patrol area should have been large, but when it flew over Qingshui, it landed on the top of a tall pine tree, and when the bird's head turned, it saw the ...... coming towards it in the distance Two eagles!

It's curious, too!

It didn't go any further to patrol, it was still standing at the top of the tree, but there was a lot of wariness in its eyes.

It's waiting for them...... Maybe we can have a good chat, or maybe we can fight!

It doesn't know what it will be like to meet.

But what it wanted was to convince the two eagles that it would be best if they could serve their masters.

It waits in apprehension.

Xie Jing's department, which was two hundred miles away, was also waiting silently at the moment-

They are in the valley of Yunlai Mountain on the outskirts of Laiyun County.

This is the gathering place of the Western Frontier Army's Fifth Route Army!

At dusk, the four armies gathered here, and the last army was still missing.

The army hid in the valley of Yunlai Mountain.

There were no tents and no fireworks.

All the soldiers sat on the ground, silently nibbling on the frozen pancakes, waiting for the arrival of the last team.

Xie Jing summoned four generals to sit under a cedar.

A map was laid out on the snow.

In the last twilight light, he looked at the four of them, and his finger fell on Yong'an City:

"This battle should not be underestimated!"

"The situation in Yong'an City, before leaving, General Ben told you in detail."

"The news of the scout's return is not far from what we predicted."

"This Taiping army doesn't look like a rabble, and the defense on the city wall is actually doing a decent job."

His fingers landed on the snow and drew a rectangular pattern.

"There are four gates in the south, south, and west, each with sixteen watchtowers and thirty-eight arrow towers."

"There are three people in the watchtower, six people in the arrow tower, and ...... The city walls were prepared with defensive objects such as fire oil and rolling stones. ”

"There are a thousand soldiers on each of the four walls, and twelve patrols, one of which is about two hundred."

"This is a very standard layout of city defense!"

"Although we have fireworks, we don't have catapults, which means that we have to throw fireworks on the city wall, and the distance from the city wall must be within 20 zhang."

"But the killing range of the arrow tower is fifty zhang!"

Xie Jing looked up at the four generals, "So our attack on Yong'an City can only be at night!" ”

"In addition, the 10,000 cavalry of the Taiping Army, their camp is in the school field of Yong'an City."

"The school yard of Yong'an City is close to the east gate, which is the gate where we are going to face it."

"When the fireworks fell on the walls and exploded...... According to the reaction speed of a regular cavalry, they need to go from the assembly to the city to meet the battle, which roughly requires tea work. ”

"That's what I thought......"

"If their cavalry goes out of the city, it's the best!"

"General Huang,"

A man of about thirty a year stood up and bowed:

"The last general!"

"You led the army to hide on the right flank two hundred zhang away from the east gate, and according to the map marked by the scouts, there is a small hill here."

"The First Army is on standby here."

"The last general commands!"

"General Zhang,"

The bearded man, who was about forty years old, stood up, "The end will be in!" ”

"Your Second Route Army is hiding on the left flank a hundred feet away from the east gate, where there is a poplar forest."

"When the main force of the Taiping army leaves the east gate, they will definitely chase the soldiers who throw fireworks."

"When they chase after a hundred feet from the east gate, you lead your troops to cut off their retreat!"

"The last general commands!"

Xie Jing looked up at a young man about twenty years old.

"Tong Huan,"

The young man touched his nose and grinned:

"General, what the fireworks army is doing is setting off fireworks."

"Don't worry, I promise that the first round of fireworks will be accurately placed on the walls of Yong'an City!"

Xie Jing raised his eyebrows:

"And then?"

Tong Huan spread his hands: "Then...... Then, if you see the enemy cavalry going out, you must turn around and run! ”

"Who did you learn from?"

"Hehe, I learned from that guy Su Muxin."

"It's a good study, but your fireworks army's mission is more than that."

Tong Huan was stunned, "What else are you going to do?" ”

"You also have to divide half of the throwers to ambush in the rear, and when the enemy cavalry enters the ambush circle, surprise their horses with fireworks!"

"Battle of Gofan Plain...... The emperor used this hand to defeat tens of thousands of Xiahou Zhuo's cavalry, creating the myth of breaking tens of thousands of cavalry with 500 cavalry! ”

Xie Jing's eyes showed a look of admiration:

"Since General Ben took over the Western Frontier Army, he has set up this fireworks army, and I thought it would be used on the desolate people......

"You remember it for the general!"

"In order to minimize the casualties of our soldiers, your fireworks army must accurately master the fighters."

"You can't give it to Lao Tzu!"

"That kid Su Muxin has taught you so much, this battle is the time to test your fireworks army's ability!"

Tong Huan's hippie smiling face disappeared in an instant.

He stood up, "The last general will ensure that the task is completed!" ”

"Good ......!"

Xie Jing looked at the last general.

"General Chang. When General Li arrives, the task of the two of you is to charge head-on! ”

"Divide the enemy army that has been frightened by the warhorse, and surround it on all sides...... Wipe them all out! ”

General Chang got up, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Xie Jing also stood up, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

"You can't give this group of thieves a chance to flee for their lives, or those brothers who will betray the city army will ...... After all, they have been established for too short a time, and they probably have not received professional training. ”

"If these thieves become bandits,"

Xie Jing took a deep breath, "I'm afraid that the back-to-back army will be exhausted and difficult to deal with!" ”

"Decree of the Great General!"

The four of them saluted in unison.

Xie Jing said: "After General Li arrives, give him an hour to repair. ”

"It's night thick, and the whole army marches overnight!"

"There is still a day's journey to Yong'an City...... Be sure to arrive outside Yong'an City on the night of the 18th! ”

"The enemy must have scouts, and our army no longer has to hide."

"Once at the destination, the ministries acted in accordance with the deployment."

"Go get ready!"

The four of them bowed and turned to leave.

Xie Jing was still looking into the distance, but in his mind he remembered the meeting with the emperor when he was in Wufan Yuan.

At that time, he was also the regent.

He threw away the position of the general of the Western Frontier Army to himself, which was the biggest change in his life's fate!

And now, by the emperor's own order, he brought 50,000 cavalry to fight this first battle.

This is the emperor's trust and the emperor's test.

He clenched his fists and muttered:

"This battle ...... There is no room for error! ”

"This battle ...... You need to win a big victory and return to the emperor! ”

Night.

General Li's 10,000 cavalry arrived.

But at this moment, another scout rushed in.

"Report to the general......

"What's so urgent?"

"General, we are waiting to find the brothers of the Betrayal Army......"

Xie Jing was slightly surprised: "They're almost here?" ”

"No, they are in Qingshui Town, a hundred miles ahead of our army!"
