Chapter 523: Active vs. Passive

Just when the future twelve tigers on Li Yi's side made a detour and secretly went to Jinling City, the grassland army was completely fried.

Although Li Yi's impact came and went quickly, the damage to the generals of the grassland was still very deep.

"Get out of here, y'all of you!"

Murong Tongwei managed to squeeze out of the frightened grassland cavalry, and he looked at the chaotic situation in front of him with a panicked expression.

"Where are you, Shaman?"

Murong Tongwei pushed away the frightened grassland generals around him, and then glanced around.

But what caught my eye was either a terrified steppe general or a corpse lying on the ground.

He carefully looked at everyone who was still on the warhorse, but he still didn't see the figure of the Muhua Li Falcon.

In this regard, Murong Tong couldn't help but feel anxious.

And the reason why he was so worried about the safety of Mu Hua Li Falcon was because he was a shaman sent by the Wolf Court.

Its status is incomparably noble among the entire steppe tribes.

On the other hand, Mu Hua Li Falcon is the planner and executor of this operation, so once Mu Hua Li Falcon is killed, they will definitely have no choice whether to advance or retreat next.

After all, how to attack and how to retreat, its battle plan was still in Mu Hua Li Falcon's head.

Especially how should these 20,000 people break through the obstacles of the Dayu Dynasty and return to the grassland.

"Shaman! Where are you? ”

Murong Tong shouted slightly for a long time, and when he saw that there was still no answer, he continued to shout loudly.

But his voice was muffled by the cries and moans of the generals around him.

Seeing this, Murong Tong couldn't help but twist his face, and his nose continued to spew angry breath.

"Fuck you damn guys, shut up!"

After speaking, I saw Murong Tongwei pull out the scimitar on his waist, and then stepped forward and cut off the head of a guy who cried the loudest.

Suddenly, a large amount of blood spurted from the neck of the unlucky bastard.

The surrounding generals immediately scattered and fled, and they began to dodge.

At the same time, the originally noisy scene immediately fell silent.

Obviously, the surrounding generals were all shocked by Murong Tongwei's ruthlessness.

"I'm here, you don't have to worry!"

Again, a familiar voice sounded in front of him.

Murong Tongwei was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, and then immediately became ecstatic.

"Is that you, Shaman?"

Although Murong Tongwei heard Muhua Li Falcon's voice, he never saw Mu Hua Li Falcon himself.

"Am I hallucinating?"

At this time, Murong Tongwei, who was puzzled, also kept muttering in his heart.

"Get out of the way! Damn it! ”

At this moment, Mu Hua Li Falcon's voice sounded again.

This time, Murong Tongwei finally heard clearly.

So he immediately searched for the sound.

After he brushed aside the grassland generals in front of him, he immediately found that Mu Hua Li Falcon was now being squeezed in the middle of the crowd in disgrace.

"Are you alright, Shaman?"

Murong Tongwei immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, it's just that I was hit by a war horse a few times just now, and it's not a big problem."

Mu Hua Li Falcon dusted off the dust on his body with his hands, and then rode on the war horse again with the support of Murong Tongwei.

Everyone saw that Mu Hua Li Falcon was safe and sound, and the chaotic grassland generals just now seemed to have found the backbone all of a sudden.

"You bunch of shit, look at what you all looked like!"

After Mu Huali Falcon got on the war horse, the anger that had accumulated in his heart suddenly exploded.

If it wasn't for his quick enough reaction just now, he would probably be killed by Li Yi and the others in the chaotic crowd.

Even if he jumped off the war horse, he was still dizzy by the war horses of the surrounding grassland generals.

At that time, everyone was huddled together, although the scene was chaotic, but the speed of the war horse was not fast.

Otherwise, once you are knocked to the ground, you will definitely be trampled into flesh by the war horse.

The grassland generals listened to Mu Hua Li Falcon's reprimand, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to refute a word.

"Why didn't you see Xianbei Khan?"

Mu Huali Falcon saw that everyone was silent under his reprimand, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but dissipate a little.

But then he noticed that there was no figure of Wan Qi Yuele around, so the anger that had dissipated just now suddenly returned to his chest.

"Tell the shaman, my khan was shot by those damn fellows and is now unable to move."

A general of the Xianbei tribe immediately stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in fear.

"Why was Wan Qi Yuele shot with a bow and arrow?"

Although the surprise attack just now came very suddenly, Mu Hua Li Falcon was already prepared to lose some of his generals, but he didn't expect Wan Qi Yue Le to be shot.

"How is he? Is there a danger to life? ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon said that he was going to look for Wan Qi Yuele.

"I'm not sure about this matter, but depending on the situation, my Khan was not lightly injured this time."

The Xianbei general said worriedly.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Huali Falcon, who was originally going to check on Wan Qi Yuele's injury, suddenly stopped.

"Murong Tongwei, you go and inform all the generals now, and now immediately launch an attack on those Dayu people."

This order of the Muhua Li Falcon immediately surprised everyone around him.

"Lord Shaman, we have lost so many generals now, and now I am afraid that the army will be unstable if we order an attack!"

Murong Tongwei was also incredulous by this order given by Mu Hua Li Falcon.

According to his thoughts, it is their side that is in chaos now, and the other party is lucky that they did not take this opportunity to attack their side.

At this time, if you launch an attack on the Dayu people, it is likely that the other party will take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on your own side.

"It doesn't matter! When you gave the order, you directly told everyone that Wan Qi Yuele was attacked and shot by the despicable and shameless Dayu people just now, and we are now going to raise troops to seek justice for him! ”

Mu Hua Li Falcon then said with a distorted face.

"Lord Shaman, this trick you used is the one mentioned in the Book of Soldiers of the Great Yu People, and the mourning soldiers will win!"

Immediately, Murong Tongwei immediately understood Muhua Li Falcon's intentions.

He wanted to deliberately take this opportunity to stir up the anger in the hearts of the steppe cavalry, and then attack them at a time that the Great Yu people could not have guessed.

In this way, the other party will inevitably be caught off guard.

"Your wisdom, Shaman, is truly amazing!"

Murong Tongwei immediately gave a thumbs up and slapped Mu Hua Li Falcon on the back.

Just when Muhua Li Falcon's side gave the battle order, the people on the side of Zongzheng Temple fell into a stupor.

Mu Xiayan really couldn't understand that just now when he was still spitting at himself, Xingzi was flying sideways and arguing with the other party, but a cavalryman who came out of nowhere suddenly killed from the oblique stab.

Although these people were only a pitiful thirty men, they were like sharp arrows and quickly inserted themselves into the battle array of the steppe people.

However, they watched as these thirty unknown heroes were killed in the war of the steppe army, and then rushed away in the stunned eyes of everyone.

It wasn't until those people completely disappeared into the distant mountains and forests that they still couldn't slow down.

"Lord Sizheng, now that the grassland cavalry is already in a mess, it is better to attack it now, just take this opportunity to catch these grassland barbarians off guard!"

As the commander of the Yaowu Army, Zheng Yu rarely fights in the Yaowu Army in peacetime, but his grasp of the battle situation is still very keen.

"No, although it seems that there is some chaos on the side of the grassland army now, it is likely that the grassland people deliberately did it, and they may want to attract us to take the initiative to attack!"

The old king of Jin immediately stopped him.

In his opinion, Li Yi and the others only had twenty or thirty people just now, and their charge was only one time.

Therefore, the number of enemies they killed was definitely not too much, compared to the number of more than 20,000 cavalry on the other side, it was not painful to kill dozens of people at all.

However, he didn't take into account that the grassland people killed by Li Yi and them were fundamentally different cavalrymen, and they were all generals of the grassland army.

"That's right! We rushed all the way from Jinling City to this place non-stop, and the soldiers were already exhausted, and it would be self-defeating to fight the other side now! ”

"That's right, the other side originally outnumbered us, and they were all cavalry, we are fighting against them now, those steppe barbarians are waiting for work, we can't fight at all."

"I also think that we can't fight, in addition to the lack of physical strength of our soldiers, the bigger reason is that these steppe barbarians are in a high position right now, and their condescending charge can raise speed in a short time."

“······”

All of a sudden, the old vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple shouted one after another.

"You guys are simply greedy for life and afraid of death!"

At this time, Zheng Shaodong couldn't hold back any longer, and directly stood up, pointed at those old vassal kings, and scolded angrily.

"The fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, now is the time when the steppe army is in chaos, we have to rush up to fight them, they will be caught off guard, they will inevitably collapse, and then our soldiers can easily kill them one by one, and you are here to fear hardship, it is simply a shame."

When the old vassal kings saw that Zheng Shaodong, who was the back, dared to insult their elders like this, they immediately blew their beards and glared at Zheng Shaodong.

"Since you junior is like this, you really don't know how to talk to us, and you really lack a tutor!"

"That's right, you're just the princess's son, and you're so arrogant that you don't know how arrogant!"

"You only rely on your mother's power to dare to show off your power so much, your trick may be useful to others, but it is the wrong target to use against us."

“······”

A group of old vassal kings counted Zheng Shaodong again.

Once again, the scene was like a vegetable market.

"Shut up!"

Finally, Mu Xiayan couldn't help it, he shouted, and the old vassal kings closed their mouths one after another.

"Lord Shi, what do you think about this?"

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Shi Wensheng again.

"I think General Zheng's proposal, although it makes sense, is too risky."

Shi Wensheng groaned slightly.

"So you don't approve of taking the initiative either?"

Mu Xiayan asked with a serious expression with squinted eyes.

"That's right, if we attack in an all-out way, if we win, we can certainly break up the grassland army in one battle, but if we fail, more than 10,000 of us will inevitably be quickly wiped out under the iron hooves of the grassland army, and when the time comes, not to mention whether Emperor Taizu's palace can be defended, I'm afraid even Jinling City will not be able to escape, so we can only contain the grassland army, and we can't attack rashly."

Mu Xia Yan nodded when he heard this.

In fact, his thoughts are the same as Shi Wensheng's.

He also knew very well that he was not going to fight to the death with the grassland army by transferring all the troops of Jinling City this time.

Their purpose is very simple, to use more than 10,000 people to drag everyone on the grassland, so that they can't destroy the underground palace of Emperor Taizu's mausoleum.

Then slowly deal with these steppe barbarians.

As long as they can be dragged down, the imperial court will definitely send troops from the surrounding areas of Xinzhou to assist them in encircling and suppressing these grassland barbarians.

And these steppe barbarians have traveled thousands of miles to the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River in Dayu, and they must fight quickly, otherwise the consumption of materials alone can drag them down.

Therefore, Mu Xiayan felt that it was best for them to use this kind of steady and steady tactics.

"Lord Temple, since you said that the grassland army can't afford to drag it on, then they will definitely take the initiative to attack next! When the time comes, we can only choose to be beaten passively in the face of 20,000 cavalry, and the initiative on the battlefield will be completely controlled by the steppe army. ”

Zheng Yu saw that everyone didn't agree with his point of view, and he couldn't help but say anxiously.

Although he Zheng Yu is ruthless and scheming on weekdays, but now he is dedicated to everyone.

After all, he knows very well the truth of cold lips and teeth.

"Okay, General Zheng, there is no need to say much about this matter, we can't take tens of thousands of soldiers, the Imperial Tomb Underground Palace and the entire Jinling City as a bet."

Mu Xiayan waved his hand to stop Zheng Yu from continuing.

"You're going to regret it!"

Zheng Yu sighed.

And just as Zheng Yu finished saying this, he suddenly found that the grassland army on the opposite side suddenly moved.

"Quickly shrink the formation, the opponent is going to attack."

Then he shouted.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Zheng Yu with a playful face.

"I said Zheng Yu, although your proposal was rejected by us, you don't have to do it!"

The old Jin King said with a sneer at this time.

"Master Sizheng quickly ordered the army to shrink its formation, and those steppe barbarians are about to attack!"

Zheng Yu didn't care at all about the cynicism of the old Jin King, he shouted directly at Mu Xiayan.

When Mu Xiayan heard this, he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the grassland army, and he suddenly gasped.

The steppe cavalry not far away suddenly all stared at their side.

And their horses were all facing their own direction.

"Immediately send the order to quickly close the formation!"

Immediately, Mu Xiayan shouted to everyone.

As a result, whether it was the vassal army, the Yaowu army, or the Qingjia army, they all began to converge towards the middle.

"Fuck these steppe barbarians, I'm afraid they're not crazy! They would choose to charge at this time? ”

Tang Minghu, who was on the top of the mountain in the distance, said in surprise.

"If you want to win on the battlefield, you have to be unexpected, attack it unprepared, originally I thought that we created such an opportunity for the people of Zongzheng Temple, they could seize it, but I didn't expect them to be so useless, but these grassland barbarians can take the initiative to create opportunities, turn passive into active, the leader of the grassland barbarians is a difficult guy!"

Li Yi smiled helplessly.
