While the dispatch of the Five Peaks of the Sea of Grass was in full swing, groups of knights were also recruited from the vast pastures of the Divine Thunder Tribe.

The Soul Eater Tribe was defeated, and the soldiers were all collected by the Divine Thunder Tribe.

Li Xun mobilized 800 soldiers and 3,000 militiamen. In comparison, although the five peaks of Caohai have 800 soldiers and 3,000 militiamen, because many people went to Hedong to participate in the relocation of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Southern Demon Pavilion, and some people and horses had to stay to guard against horse thieves, the number of troops that could fight was only about 500 soldiers and four times the militia.

"Our strength is about one and a half times that of the enemy. After listening to the report of the sentry, Li Xun said: "In terms of morale and training, our side is above the enemy. ”

"If the enemy occupies a favorable position, this battle may not be easy to fight. "Blood Seal Frontier said: "It is better to show the enemy weakness, and design to make the enemy and us face off on the plain." ”

Li Xun just smiled secretly: "The grassland is open and the mountains are scarce, is there really such a suitable location?"

After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Open up, go south!"

The prairie men drove their horses out of the way, kicking and flying grass clippings and soot.

Blood Fengjiang was stunned, and he rode on a horse and held the map and looked at it for at least half a moment, before he understood the meaning of Li Xun's words, and said in a long voice: "Li Gongzi is really a god!"

Li Xun smiled slightly and hummed a crisp song on horseback, while the others were still confused.

But after the battle to devour the Soul Devouring Pattern, almost everyone believed that this battle was won and undefeated.

The five peaks of the sea of grass are directly south of the Shenting tribe, and the army is heading south along the west bank of the Liuhua River, but they see several horses galloping from the north.

"Report!" the scout cavalry shouted in a long, high-pitched voice.

"Come here. Li Xun hooked his hand.

The scouts enter the formation and give the information.

After listening to the scout's words, Du Lei and the others couldn't help but be shocked.

"The enemy's Einsatzgruppen appeared in the upper reaches of the Liuhua River, probably to destroy the embankment. "If left unchecked, a large number of fields in the Divine Thunder Department will be washed away, and the livestock population will also suffer...... I'll immediately divide the sharp pawns and go to intercept and kill!"

Not all the people of the Shenting tribe are herdsmen, and there are also farmers who make a living.

The Liuhua River runs from north to south, nourishing large areas of land on the grassland. But flash floods often break out and flood. The Shenting Department built a stone dam upstream to block the mountain floods, and even diverted water into a lake to irrigate the land.

It's spring flood season, and the water is soaring. If it is dug up and guarded by the special forces of the five peaks, the mountain torrent will flow out, and the thousands of acres of fertile land in the valley of the Shenting Department will be flooded by water and turn into a Ze country.

Li Xun shook his head: "No need. ”

Du Lei was stunned and said: "Li Gongzi, why don't you have to? If the valley is flooded, there will be many dead and wounded, and our army should also be shaken......

Li Xun said softly: "Agriculture only accounts for a small part of the production of the Divine Thunder Department, and destroying the dam to flood the fields is not enough to deal a fatal blow, but it makes the soldiers feel hatred and become more and more fearless of death. The Lord of the Five Peaks is not a reckless person and will not do this...... I am afraid that the purpose of that detachment is to induce us to divide our troops. ”

"The other side must be lightly armed, riding the strongest war horses, and extremely mobile. If our army wants to intercept and kill, it will definitely score several times the enemy's strength, and I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up, be pinned down by it, and be in a passive position. ”

Du Lei looked surprised: "Really?"

Li Xun said with great confidence: "If Xiaozhu miscalculates, Chief Du will take my head as an apology." ”

"This ...... Li Gongzi, how dare you, how dare you. Durrey said hurriedly.

When devouring the Soul Devouring Pattern Tribe, Li Xunzhen could be said to have no last resort, which made Du Lei dazzled, and he really saw what it meant to be a military strategy. He basically didn't have much doubt about Li Xun's words.

"It's just...... Could it be that this army of the enemy really has only this purpose?" Bloody Seal was puzzled: "If it is only to contain our army, if our army does not succeed, the enemy will waste the available forces in vain." ”

Li Xun nodded: "You are right. The real purpose of the enemy should be more than that. ”

He stared at the map in his hand: "Actually, I've already guessed a few points, but I need further confirmation." ”

The voice was soft, but the tone was very firm.

The horse team continued to gallop south.

The terrain gradually becomes undulating. The grassland is open and there are not many mountains, but this area belongs to the outer area of Yin Mountain, so there are often hills up and down the main road.

"Ahead is the confluence of the Morning Creek and the Liuhua River. "There are scouts reported.

"The Liuhua River flows from north to south, and the Morning Creek flows into the Liuhua River from west to east, and the two water veins are almost completely vertical. The short section of the river in front of it has a gentle and not deep current, which is suitable for crossing. ”

As he spoke, a touch of blood red suddenly appeared in front of him.

I saw a huge red lantern hanging from a tall dead tree, and the light was still very clear in the daytime.

Under the lantern hung a huge white cloth, and a few eye-catching characters were written in ox blood: Li Xun died here!

Bloody words, exuding a heavy fishy smell.

"This ......" Gao Linfeng on the side looked around in surprise.

Such an arrangement really reminds people of the famous Battle of Maling.

Du Lei was also secretly frightened, and said, "But are there ambushes?"

Li Xun looked at the Blood Seal: "What would ordinary people do in this situation?"

Among these people, only the Blood Seal has some resourcefulness, which is enough to discuss military affairs with him.

Blood Seal Frontier groaned slightly, and said, "If you are provoked, you will shoot down this lantern and white cloth." ”

He didn't think about it so much, but after Li Xun dialed it a little, he saw through it.

Li Xun bowed: "The lantern and white cloth are so conspicuous that those standing on a high place will definitely see it clearly." If you knock it down, it will become a signal ......"

Blood Seal looked around, his gaze roaming the undulating ground: "However, there are no mountains near here that are condescending enough to condescend and inflict a fatal blow on our side. The ambush should not be in this area. ”

Li Xun's white palm was empty, but he turned to the back: "Look, there is a dry river valley here. So, where should the enemy Einsatzgruppen be now?"

Blood Seal finally understood what Li Xun meant when he said that he had guessed the enemy's true purpose: "If our army shoots down this lantern and white cloth, it will give the enemy a signal." The enemy will dig the embankment of the river, causing the river to rush out and pour into the Morning Creek from the upper reaches of the Liuhua River......"

Li Xun nodded: "If I shoot down the lantern now, then according to our travel speed, when the river is surging down, it will be almost the time when we cross halfway." ”

Du Lei, Gao Linfeng and the others were all terrified in an instant.

Once the river reaches the water from this dry and abandoned river valley, whether it is the troops on the riverbank or the men and horses in the river, they will be swept away by the violent current.

Li Xun said to the Blood Seal again: "Have you guessed where Wu Feng's ambush soldiers should be hiding?" (To be continued.) )
