Because this Northern Expedition was a surprise war, 400,000 Liang troops did not receive any decent resistance after entering the North, coupled with the lack of food and grass in the North in winter, the troops were in a state of rest, so at the beginning of the eleventh year of Daxing, the Chinese army led by Li Congyi, the Governor of Daliang, conquered the Northern Khan Tent without much effort, captured the left and right Xian Wang and a number of royal families in the ancient capital of the Northern Kingdom, most of the Northern Land fell into the hands of the Great Liang in an instant, in addition to the Northern King in the Northern Kingdom, there were eight tribal kings, respectively, the left and right Xian Kings stationed in the Khan Tent, The left and right Xianlu kings and the left and right Dulu kings who are in charge of the four major pastures, as well as the two Canghai kings of the North Sea, although the Great Liang now occupies most of the northern kingdom seems to be in control, but you must know that most of the southern part of the northern country is desert, and the northerners have only set up less than 20 guards in the south, and these 120,000 people are a drop in the ocean for the southern 10,000-mile border.

After conquering the sweat tent, the 400,000 Liang army fell into a dilemma, and along the way they also encountered the attack of the four guards of the northerners, that is to say, the northerners at least sixteen guards are hiding in the vast desert, most of the Liang army is dominated by foot soldiers, and the proportion of cavalry in the 400,000 army is less than two percent, but fortunately, each army of the Liang is equipped with a formation mage army, and after falling into trouble, the formation force set up a yellow sand wind and smoke array around the army, and the strength of the formation mage lies in being able to perfectly use the attributes of a place, All the formations are derived from the oldest five kinds of five elements formations, the metal formation is derived from the Qianyuanjun's Golden Lock Starlight Four Absolute Formation, and the fire formation is derived from the Yanjun's Heavenly Flame Seven Killing Array, I don't know if these immortals took a cloud car Kunpeng Nine Dragon Formation in order to fight against the Xuanming Ancestor, and the Cangmu Liuhe Array that belongs to the Mude Lingyu Niangniang is also regarded by the world as the earliest wooden formation.

The other four are relying on the appearance of saints in front of people and then preaching to mortals, but the two gods of Sheji are not, they learn from the set of books in the mortal world, and summarize their experiences in a book of Huangtianjing, compared to the means of other immortals, mortals are more likely to accept the preaching methods of the two gods, so people since ancient times have been deeply influenced by the Huangtianjing, from which they have evolved a number of exercises and formations, at this moment the Huangsha Wind and Smoke Array laid by the formation mage of the Great Liang is evolved in the Huangtianjing, and this array is a perfect match with the traps set by the army on the ground, The northerners entered the formation several times and found nothing except piles of corpses, and the Liang army only needed to be responsible for cleaning up the corpses and rearranging the formation.

But the generals of the Liang army knew that if they continued like this, they must be the first to be consumed, 400,000 sergeants with heavy troops The number of Liang troops dispatched this time was nearly one million, and the food consumed in a day was countless, but if the army was blindly attacked, it would be a heavy casualty when the people were sleepy and the horses were scarce, and the northerners would hit a million troops in an instant, and most of the generals in the Chinese army tent were deeply worried about the current situation, only Li Congyi and his subordinates drank and shouted as if they had nothing to do. Finally, a general couldn't help but scolded loudly, "Li Congyi, as the governor of the capital, you don't think about how to help the army get out of trouble, you only know what kind of system you can enjoy!" ”

Li Congyi didn't even look back when he heard this, and said contemptuously, "I heard your voice a little deaf, your father should still be in his mother's womb when Lao Tzu was fighting, right?" You want to teach Lao Tzu a lesson after a few years of fighting? ”

"Li Congyi! You are the supreme commander of the Great Liang, not a mountain bandit! I am the four-rank general appointed by the sage, and my father is the father-in-law of the current Seven Princes, you dare to insult the imperial family? ”

"What the Seven Princes? You mean that sake bag rice bag? Li Congyi moved his neck and slowly got up and approached the general step by step, Li Congyi stood in front of the man like an iron tower, the scars on his face were very harmful, coupled with the height of more than three meters and the arms thicker than his waist, the frightened man quickly took a few big steps back, seeing that this person was so courageous, Li Congyi sneered contemptuously and said, "I really don't know what's wrong with the beam now?" would actually let such a waste go to war. Little guy, don't talk about you, even Xiao Congke doesn't dare to talk to me like that, the entire Liang and I Li Congyi only serve two people, one is the king, and the other is General Xiao, you can sue me after you go back, but the premise is that you go back. ”

Li Congyi's words that person still didn't understand, but the man still stiffened his neck and stepped forward and replied, "Li Congyi, are you threatening me?" ”

"Hey, don't worry. I don't dare to be interested in waste like you, Lao Tzu is fighting the elite, hurry up, don't dirty Lao Tzu's eyes. ”

"You have the guts, I will definitely let you come back when you return to the court." After saying this, the man angrily lifted the curtain of the big tent and walked out.

After the man left, Li Congyi returned to the upper seat, sat down, glanced at the generals, and asked, "Do you still have any questions now?" The generals immediately shook their heads when they heard this, as if they were afraid of shaking slower than others, Li Congyi began to deploy after seeing that no one objected, his plan was very simple, that is, the Ghost Ray Army opened the way and the large army followed the Ghost Army slowly, if someone thought that they could keep up with the speed of the Ghost Army, they could also accompany it, of course, in the end, only a small number of generals were willing to take risks with the Ghost Army, and most of the generals thought that there was no difference between marching alone in the desert and sending them to death, They did not dare to say it directly, they were mainly infantry soldiers in the army, and it was difficult to follow, or they chose to stay in the large army on the grounds that the overall situation was important.

Li Congyi has no time to do the ideological work of these people, people with concerns are not suitable for carrying out the first task, finding the large army of the northerners and fighting to the death is the only way to get out of the predicament, the Liang army is superior to the number of people, inferior to the number of people, and the huge number of people will drag down the entire army if they do not fight quickly, Li Congyi knows that the division of troops will inevitably lead to the enemy having an opportunity, but this is also his strategy, he is reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, he just wants to use the rear army as a bait to seduce the northerners, and wait until the northerners are ready to swallow the rear army and then form a counter-encirclement of it, Moreover, the soldiers who have gone through such a desperate situation can become the real elite and have a strong will, which can be regarded as a means of selecting soldiers.

......

"What? You said that Li Congyi divided his troops? ”

"Yes, my lord, the sentry who patrolled the camp of the Liang army last night found that Li Congyi and a group of cavalry had left the camp at night, and the number of people was too dark to see."

Wan Yan Yue, the commander of the Northern Army, was both excited and worried after learning the news of Li Congyi's division of troops, the Liang Army could not afford to consume them, and the Northern Army did not have as much food as the Liang Army and now it was a winter when food and grass were scarce, and the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army were already exhausted after such a long time of harassment of the Liang Army, not only Li Congyi Wan Yan Yue was also looking for a decisive opportunity, but because the Liang Army had been unable to shrink before, it was difficult for the Northern Army to find an opportunity to attack on a large scale.

And now Li Congyi has given Wan Yan Yue a chance to swallow the rear army of the Great Liang, but he is also worried that this will be a trap set by Li Congyi, if he fails to break through the rear army camp before the former army of the Great Liang returns, not only will the 120,000 troops in the south be wiped out, but the entire hinterland of the northern country will also be flattened, the Great Liang can lose several times and Wan Yan Yue can't afford to lose once, but the opportunity will not come again, even if it is a trap, Wan Yan Yue also decided to give it a try, and he ordered the herald to give orders to the battalions, All units of the army stopped all attacks and launched a full-scale attack on the Liang army tonight, and Wan Yanyue also deliberately added a sentence that the Liang camp was full of food, and as long as the Liang army was defeated, he would be able to have a full meal.

Those soldiers of the Northern Army, who had been hungry for several days, heard that there was food to eat, their eyes were as sharp as hungry wolves, and they sharpened their knives as if they were eager to grow wings and immediately fly to the Liang army to cut off their heads, and then have a good meal.
