The army was quickly assembled, and the assembly of 150,000 troops in Yang County made Xiao Yi's heart begin to surge. Originally, he didn't like armor very much, and he was also wearing red armor today, standing on the point platform, as red as the fluttering red dragon flag, and on the other side, the gorgeous cover, all kinds of travel honor guards, axes and other things were ready.

Today, first of all, I will sacrifice to the gods, and give me courage with my blood. With my sword, I offer the enemy chieftain. The gods are above, bless my country.

The second sacrifice to the ancestors, the first martial saint emperor, the descendants of Xiao Yi are willing to use their ugly bodies today, inherit their bravery, and destroy the thieves.

Finally, sacrifice the flag, kill the sheep and cattle, and you swear a blood alliance with this king. If you don't break the thief, you vow not to return it.

If you don't break the thief, you vow not to return it.

After the pre-war mobilization oath was completed, Xiao Yi, accompanied by Mr. Yu and under the gorgeous guard of honor, set off in the Chinese army. After several considerations and screenings, Xiao Yi finally listened to Mr. Yu's suggestion, and Hua Dingshan, as the commander of the former army, led 60,000 elites and 5,000 cavalry to set off. In contrast, the number of the Chinese army is actually only 70,000, and the rear army is extremely weak, and the rear army of 20,000 is mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

My lord, after all, the rear army is related to the transportation and return of our grain and grass. Is 20,000 horses too weak? Moreover, Lu Ming has never led an army to fight, in case An Mingqian attacks the rear of our army, it will be bad. Although Mr. Yu knew that persuasion did not have much effect, out of the instinct of a strategist, he still kept wanting to advise.

I understand what Mr. said. However, if the strength of our former army is weak, An Mingqian will take advantage. This battle will be protracted, and it will not be easy to assemble an army of 150,000, and the daily consumption will be huge. Therefore, it is necessary to fight quickly and win all. Xiao Yi waved his hand.

Even so, the lord should not take Lu Ming as his general. He has never led an army to fight, and in the case of the soldiers, he will inevitably be dissatisfied, and for him, he will inevitably be confused for the sake of authority. Mr. Yu continued to insist that although he was a civil servant, he also understood the importance of military affairs.

Although Lu Ming has never been in battle, he is old and practical. The rear army only needs to ensure the smooth supply of our army, as for An Mingqian's surprise attack, more beacon towers will be placed, and the sentry cavalry will strengthen defense. Xiao Yi was still unmoved.

Mr. Yu also understood Xiao Yi's thoughts. He was not afraid of the enemy's surprise attack, but Hua Dingshan was in front, and Jiang Yi, Du Bei and other Star City generals of the Chinese army were by his side. The rear army is by Lu Ming, so that the 150,000 army can be regarded as completely under his control. But there is always a trace of uneasiness rising in the bottom of my heart, although there is an absolute advantage in troops, but is the battle really just like this to count the heads?

The former army was led by Hua Dingshan, which was indeed Mr. Yu's suggestion. However, he also suggested that Hua Ming and other protons should be sent to Huading Mountain, so as to boost morale and fight fiercely with An Mingqian with these young and strong factions in the army who were eager for meritorious service. However, Xiao Yi was afraid that these protons would be damaged, and second, he was afraid that these protons would have been fighting under Huading Mountain for a long time, so he formed a party with Huading Mountain. Therefore, he insisted on keeping the proton by his side, and he would never allow the possibility of the new army he wanted to build to be commanded by others. In this way, Hua Dingshan, who is completely old and serious, will definitely not do his best to fight against An Mingqian.

As for the Chinese army, although the imperial expedition can boost morale, Xiao Yi brought all the honor guards. There are also maids accompanying him, and Mr. Yu has repeatedly advised him on these things, but Xiao Yi can't listen to them. With such a large pomp of honor in front of the battle, there is no doubt that all the soldiers of An Mingqian will know where King Liang is? Moreover, Xiao Yi himself is also a drunkard, and on the march, he can't help drinking and meat. Under the leadership of this King of Liang, the military discipline of the Chinese army was gradually relaxed. These hidden dangers made Mr. Yu worried.

And the one who worries him the most is undoubtedly the commander of the rear army behind, Lu Ming. This royal palace Zhan Shi may be a good hand at dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles, but governing the army? Mr. Yu has begun to feel remorse in his heart, seeing Xiao Yi's operations.

The whole army listened to the order and set up camp in Buffalo Mountain today, each army had two posts, the sentry cavalry was continuous, the clothes were not unarmed, the horses were not left the saddle, and the lights of each battalion could not be broken. Rest for the night, and tomorrow the armies will take turns attacking the enemy camp. Hua Dingshan commanded skillfully. He is a veteran of the battlefield. Similar orders were issued and military affairs were arranged for decades. However, at least for the past ten years, he has never taken the initiative to bring the army out to attack. Defending the city to the death and fighting according to the city is the most familiar tactic for him. Once, he also dragged 50,000 thieves for more than a month with 3,000 weak brigades, and the enemy ran out of food and retreated. Therefore, he went out of the city for dozens of miles to fight. He really didn't want to, or even dared to.

Big brother, we have 60,000 in the front army alone, and all of them are the elite of the border army. And a few days ago, didn't we win in a row? My good proton Hua Ming was also promoted to lieutenant of the Central Protector Army by King Liang because of his merits. Hua Dingshui saw that his eldest brother was worried, and stepped forward suspiciously and said that although there is a lot of infighting between the generals of the family, infighting can be regarded as relatively rare in the Hua clan of Yangjun. It may have something to do with their guarding the border and having today and tomorrow. As the second brother of Hua Dingshan, Hua Dingshui also has excellent military strategy and martial arts, and his temper is more irritable. So this time he took the initiative to fight, Hua Dingshui was actually extremely happy, thinking that it was a great opportunity to establish military merits, and from this point of view, it was a little similar to Hua Ming, no, it should be said that Hua Ming was like his second uncle.

Although our army won a few days ago, it did not win many heads. It should be An Mingqian's plan to lure the enemy, but King Liang thinks that the situation is very good. Yesterday, there was a royal decree asking us to offer victory in the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was only five days, and although we had the advantage of troops, An Mingqian's camp was properly defended and occupied the advantageous position of the Zalian Mountains. Even if our army wins, it will surely suffer heavy casualties. That's what worries me. Hua Dingshan's brows have been wrinkled into the appearance of Chuanzi, which is even more majestic.

Big brother, the battlefield is ruthless, how can there be immortals. Five days was tense, but I was able to take it. I'll take the lead tomorrow. Hua Dingshui patted his chest and said.

Today, it is still necessary to strengthen vigilance, because our army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable and its protection is not complete. Don't let An Mingqian take advantage of the loophole. Hua Dingshan's worries were still not alleviated in the slightest.

Zaren Mountain

His Royal Highness the Prince, the forward of the Xingzhou Army has reached Buffalo Mountain, with more than 50,000 men and horses. Will our troops raid their tents tonight? He Chun asked.

Who is the leader? An Mingqian asked without looking back, his eyes continued to stare at the leather map, but his eyes turned to the terrain around Buffalo Mountain.

It is Huading Mountain.

Oh, General He brought a hundred horsemen and prepared more torches and war drums to harass and harass the enemy, so that the enemy army could not sleep tonight. An Mingqian commanded.

Be.

Stand down.

As more than a dozen generals withdrew from the camp, a man in a black robe walked out from behind.

General Cui, how should our army fight in this battle. An Mingqian got down from his seat and arched his hand. There is only one general who can make An Mingqian so respectful, and there is only one in the whole Yan Kingdom. Naturally, it was Cui Xilie, who fought in the first battle of Yecheng that year and broke the army of 200,000 King Qin with 8,000 iron horses. Cui Xilie, who was only fifteen years old at the time, almost made the An family in one fell swoop with this exploit. But because of this, I was arrogant for a while. Later, it was framed by the close ministers around An Sishun. Saved by An Mingqian and saved from capital crimes. Now that it has reappeared, it is no longer as full of vigor and elegance as when it was young, and some of it is full of coldness.

Huading Mountain, named the battlefield general. However, as a defender of the city, he is also old and spicy in his use of soldiers. Set up camp on the mountainside, and after two hours of fighting, abandon the camp, continue the battle on the top of the mountain, and recapture the camp at night. Drain their physical strength and will first. After the fighter appeared, it used a wild goose formation, pretending to outflank it from both sides, and actually broke through in the middle. That's it. A hoarse voice like a ruler scratching glass came, and it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to. However, An Mingqian is more concerned about the content. I thought about the map for a long time.

Xiao Yi made such a big battle this time, and he definitely wanted a quick solution. The fighter will not let us wait for a long time, General Cui, this breakthrough in the middle will be done by the general himself. General Cui was also invited to command the plundering array here with the banner of war drums. An Mingqian opened his mouth and said.

The crown prince is the prince and deputy of the country, and he should not be involved in danger. Rushing to kill the enemy camp and the general's soldiers. There are many Huzhou warriors and warriors in our Yan army. There are countless generals, and the prince is a rare wise general in Yan Kingdom, and he cannot be moved lightly. Cui Xilie scolded coldly, without any respect or request in his words, completely trying a scene of scolding from top to bottom. If someone else is there, I'm afraid that someone will start to scold him a long time ago, and there may even be cautious eyes and interested people to participate in his copy.

However, he is a general outside. Isn't it that the soldiers should share weal and woe and kill the enemy together? If I just sit in the back and talk about the word, how can I convince the soldiers of me? This time, An Mingqian brought it, and 5,000 guards rode over. As a member of the imperial family, he naturally hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to recover the hearts of these soldiers.

What the prince said is the way of the king, and what Cui said is the way of the general. Reward and punish the wrong, the legal system is clear, and the military strength is self-reliant. If the commander is in the battle, injuries and deaths will affect the morale of the army. According to a certain meaning, if the prince wants to win the heart of the army, it is good to use grace and power. This is tantamount to sharing joys and sorrows, but it is only deceiving the world. Cui Xiyeol's voice gradually became stern, and he didn't care about the difference between up and down.

According to General Cui's words.

At the camp gate

At this time, Tu Hejin didn't know why he had explored the camp so smoothly. Although he was not able to tie up a general, but through the military stove and his advantage of knowing the northern language, he successfully figured out the number and class of An Mingqian's army through some junior officers. Even he figured out a little more about the armament of his troops, and found a place to store food through the dung of horses and sheep, footprints, etc. After returning home, these military reports will inevitably be rewarded with a lot of light. If you can bring someone to burn An Mingqian's grain and grass at that time, it will be a credit. An Mingqian's heart began to beat violently, and his eyes gradually became hot. It seemed that although the night was dark, there was nothing to stop him from going.

Who? The night guard rode over.

The beating of the heart is intensifying, An Mingqian's military discipline in the barracks is not relaxed, he is wearing a Yan army uniform, and he can speak northern dialect, so it will not be too much of a problem to explain a few words about returning to the camp. But the military situation is like fire, who knows, tomorrow they will change the guard and change the location of the grain storage? There are five leather armored cavalrymen who came, and they have cultivation close to level eight, and the combat power of leather armored cavalry is likely to be only five or six levels. At level seven, you will already be able to wear chain mail. Level 10 is able to pierce plate armor. The scimitar beside him is a magic weapon rewarded by King Liang, and its body is made of dark iron and a small amount of Mithril, and its sharpness and solidity are far higher than that of ordinary iron weapons, and it is also difficult to curl the blade. The chainmail cavalry came and had the strength to fight.

His ears suddenly became quiet, Tu He couldn't hear any sound, and his vision became extremely clear. Several horsemen in front of him began to prepare to surround him, and one of them was at a distance from the others, and the other cavalry reined in his horse, as if he wanted to dismount.

Own. Tu Hejin replied in northern dialect, and slowly walked over to the nearest cavalryman, raising his hand. Until you got closer, you could hear the horse's breathing and see the hot breath he spewed. He drew his scimitar and pointed it straight at the horseman's throat. A blood flower gushed like a spring, and Tuhe Jin only felt that the world was very quiet at this time. Turn over, get on your horse, and run into the distance.

Suddenly, there was a pain like a mosquito bite in his shoulder, and then there was a pain in his chest, this mosquito is really powerful, and Tu Hejin, who originally had barbarian blood, had very rough skin, and he was still wearing leather armor today. It's rare to see a mosquito that can bite through two layers of protection.
