"Xingwu, is Lu Jiu really okay?" Li Dan asked about Xingwu who came to change Lu Jiu's medicine. The little monk had discussed with his master and ran to chase after the Tsing Yi team, but he was encountering the auxiliaries in the great retreat.

Fortunately, as soon as Song Jiuyi recognized him, he took him with him. Speaking of this, the little monk had palpitations, and if he was a day or two late, he might miss it with everyone!

His arrival made Li Dan very happy, the sacrifice in the team was not large, but there were many wounded.

After Xingwu came, he immediately solved the problem of lack of doctors, because he was one of the few "personal disciples" who had learned Li Dan's "silk suture method" and preoperative sterilization techniques.

He first carefully examined Lu Jiu's wounds, then wiped them with alcohol, and finally applied the homemade wound ointment to him, and then bandaged him. Hearing Li Dan's question, he replied seriously:

"The wound on the waist is shallow, and the doctors with the team treat it in a timely and proper manner, so you basically don't need to take medicine again in two days. But you have to be careful with your legs.

I don't think the ninth master can hang his armor recently, otherwise it will be ruined if it is worn out. You don't want to walk on crutches for the rest of your life, do you? ”

Lu Jiu immediately shook his fat head like a Lantern Festival in a basket, and Xingwu smiled: "Then be honest, at least this leg can't hang armor, can't run or jump hard, to avoid the wound from cracking!" ”

This Lu Jiu smuggled out of the wounded team of the auxiliary soldiers by himself, and Xingwu chased him to change the medicine, which was also a kind of complaint. Li Dan has long understood this.

When he was done, he came to Li Dan and folded his hands. "Done? Have a seat. Li Dan said.

"How dare the little monk sit with the lord?"

"Tsk, why haven't I seen you in a few months?"

Xingwu sat down with a smile and said, "Sir, our medicine is limited. ”

"I know. Especially alcohol, the more you use it, the less you use it! Li Dan frowned: "Let's give it to the seriously injured first, and you can use it once a day for a minor injury like Ah Jiu." ”

"Yes!" Xingwu bowed down and asked, "How many more days are we going to stay here?" If there is time, or maybe the little monk will go to the opposite mountain to pick some herbs and come back? ”

Li Dan stretched out his head to look at the continuous rain in the sky, and shook his head: "It's too dangerous, it's better to be patient for a while." Now it's not that we want to go, it's that the rain is too heavy.

The roads were flooded and muddy, making it difficult for cars and horses to walk. Of course, it was also difficult to chase the soldiers, and they were also blocked in the mountains and could not move. And I guess they have limited dry food, and their situation is not as good as ours. ”

This was already the third day after the division of troops. Li Dan successfully took advantage of the rain to divide the team into two teams, and later the first company of 100 people interspersed north from the path to pick up the carriage of the prince.

But he didn't know that Long Hui couldn't grasp which side the main force of the Tsing Yi team had gone at the fork in the road, so he divided a hundred horses to chase north.

This cavalry finally caught up with the convoy at Huangchaoling, and as a result, Pei Tianhu fought and left with the guard troops, losing a third of the soldiers. By the time Zhou Tu arrived at them, half of the casualties had already passed.

Long Hui led the main cavalry force to chase Li Dan, and the second company of the rearguard encountered several assaults. Although he repeatedly repelled the enemy, Long Hui bit very tightly and did not let go.

Later, the continuous heavy rain stopped him and he had to stop. Li Dan learned through reconnaissance that this guy was camped two miles behind, and he didn't mean to accept it when he saw it.

"Hmph, this Long Hui, he doesn't want to leave so much, then I want to leave him behind!" Li Dan sneered.

"What, the lord already has a good idea?" Xingwu asked.

"Not yet, but I've sent someone to the front to explore the way and see if I can find a good place to beat him up!" Li Dan smiled: "The weather is not beautiful, otherwise we will bury mines." It's a pity that the rain is like this, and firearms are not convenient to use. ”

"Amitabha!" Xingwu's face was unbearable.

Li Dan smiled: "Xingwu, did you see Senior Brother Gao this morning?" ”

"The little monk is busy, and he hasn't had time yet."

"Then you go and meet him, you haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xingwu is a smart person, looking at Li Dan's smile and listening to his tone, he knew that he had a deep meaning, so he bowed and came out to find Gao Hanzi.

The battalion headquarters was next to him, and the tall man was sitting on the horse and was wrinkling his eyebrows and thinking, and several staff officers in front of him were arguing in a low voice.

Seeing Xingwu coming, Gao Hanzi smiled and beckoned to him.

"What is the senior brother bothering about?" Because Gao Hanzi was also a monk, Xingwu was much more casual in front of him, so he sat next to him and took off his satchel and asked.

"We're discussing how to beat up the pursuers behind." Gao Hanzi patted his little head wrapped in a four-legged mattress: "You are idle today, how can you have time to come to me?" ”

Xingwu frowned: "Lord asked me to come and see you, who knew that you, like him, were thinking about how to kill." ”

Gao Hanzi was stunned, instantly understood Li Dan's intentions, and said with a smile: "Xingwu, you are biased." ”

"What do you say, senior brother?"

"I don't like you?"

"It's because it hurts people's lives."

Gao Hanzi nodded: "The person you are talking about, but the people in this village?" ”

"Definitely." Xingwu raised his head and suddenly understood what his problem was.

"Doing enlightenment is good, but being kind to others and being kind to thieves are two different things. Slaying demons and destroying demons is for great compassion and great merit to save the common people, so why not like it because of this? Gao Hanzi sat upright, smiling and looking at Xingwu.

Xingwu immediately got up and saluted: "Xingwu understands, I will be taught by my senior brother." ”

Gao Hanzi nodded, pointed to the staff officers and said, "What everyone is discussing now is nothing more than how to complete this task with the smallest sacrifice, which is also a kind of compassion, for oneself, for others, and for those thieves who do bad things." ”

"Senior brother is using thunderbolt means to show the bodhisattva's heart."

"Ha, I don't think I'm a bodhisattva. But if I could accomplish the task with fewer casualties, then I would be glad that everyone is precious and every life is not lowly. ”

Gao Hanzi paused: "This is something I didn't know when I sat next to the green lantern Buddha statue before, and now I can gradually realize it after experiencing it." The lord always says to people 'learn from things', I think this may also be a way for me to 'learn from things'? ”

Seeing Xingwu bow his head and ponder, he got up gently, walked to the staff officers, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"We have agreed on two locations:

One is more than a mile down from here, where the two mountains of Lushan and Dagang under the Huangniling are sandwiched by Lianxi, and the road is narrow and a big downhill, and they can't use the terrain.

The width was only one hundred and fifty paces, and the narrow place was only twenty paces, which was a dangerous place for cavalry.

The other is Huang Nixuan, which is a three-way street. As long as we control the three heights, the encircled enemy will not be able to rush out! However, this place is slightly wider than the side of Deer Mountain, and the enemy's room for movement will be larger. ”

"What do you think?"

"We tend to Lushan, it's easy to set up an ambush here, and the enemy can't get past it, so we can only trap the beast and fight."

"Trapped beasts? You can say that again! Gao Hanzi looked at the map carefully, and suddenly pointed and asked, "Why is there a road behind here?" ”

"Yes, but it's narrow."

"But there's a way." Gao Hanzi frowned: "In this way, I have to put the team to block at various intersections, and once a certain intersection is broken, the enemy will slip out." ”

He shook his head: "How can this work! We also don't have enough troops to disperse to the intersections. He stretched out his fist and opened it again:

"We don't have more than twice as many troops to fight them, so we have to keep all the teams together.

If it is opened like this, it will be easy to be broken by the opponents, and then either they will turn defeat into victory, or finally calmly flee, in short, the idea of annihilation or heavy damage of the lord cannot be realized.

Only by beating him until he is weak, rolling back into the nest to lick his wounds, or even being beaten to death, can we finally get rid of Long Hui, the mad dog! ”

He walked around twice, and suddenly found that Xingwu in the seat had quietly left at some point, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned around and decided: "Let's be in the yellow mud!" ”

"But there is ...... for them."

"I know, it's okay, it's not going anywhere!" Gao Hanzi walked back to the map:

"But here our men can echo each other on three hills, close to each other, easy to command.

And on the side of Lushan, it is really like an outstretched slap, if the enemy kills a certain passage, I can't see it on Lushan at all, and even if the team on the big hill can see it, it is blocked by the stream.

So, I decided to choose the ambush location in Huang Ni Xuan! ”

After making the decision, he handed over the later arrangements to the staff officers, came to Li Dan himself, and reported to him the reasons for the decision. Li Dan completely handed over the decision-making and command of this battle to Gao Hanzi, because he wanted to exercise his ability through this battle.

Li Danzheng, who had been a deputy battalion commander in his previous life, tried his best to teach, and he hoped that from Gao Hanzi, Sun She, and Yang Yi, he could come out of the generals who could independently command a thousand-person army.

Zhao Jingzi, as a member of the imperial family, does not have the natural conditions to lead troops, although he learns quickly, he is destined to only play the role of chief of staff.

And Gu Da and Liu Hongsheng either have a limited level of education, or they are lacking in pattern or strategy, and they may have to take their time to cultivate.

"Judging from our dealings with this Long Hui in the past few days, this person is indeed a difficult character. No wonder Lou Zishi trusted him to give him the title of General of the Left Army. Li Dan said:

"Therefore, you must pay attention to him when making plans, and you must not be contemptuous because he has slightly fewer troops than our army. Even if it is surrounded, the other party is still cavalry, and it will take a little thought about how we can swallow this brute bull.

After all, our army has fewer opportunities to fight big battles and tough battles, and it uses more tactics and tricks. I've heard some of the soldiers brag about putting antlers around the cavalry and shrinking the encirclement little by little, and stabbing them to death with their guns.

This kind of statement should be noticed by the calmers, this is pride, we have nothing to be proud of! But Long Hui has been fighting with the official army for three years, and his cavalry must be the elite of the selection, don't be careless! ”

"Understand, when I go back, I will give an order and let the calmers arrange a lecture."

Li Dan nodded: "Good soldier pride is needed, but it must be controlled." Excessive pride is arrogance! I think our team should really fight the masters a few times, so that the remaining talents have the real confidence to be proud, instead of just talking big with ambition! ”

When the rain was lighter, the auxiliary team and the command company were evacuated first. On the one hand, they had to arrange an ambush site, and on the other hand, they had to find a suitable place to settle the supplies.

The second company and the reconnaissance detachment at the front always maintained mutual surveillance and confrontation with the enemy, and there were several skirmishes during this period.

The most interesting thing is that when Li Dan ran to interrogate, he emptied the surroundings as soon as he saw this person, leaving only Gao Hanzi present.

It turned out that person was one of Lou Shiming's personal soldiers, and when Li Dan and Lou Shiming met privately, he came with him twice.

Li Dan asked him why he was here, and the man replied that it was left by the Second Heavenly King, and then told Hepan about Long Hui's strength, morale, etc., and Li Dan was surprised to know that the enemy had divided a team to chase north.

Fortunately, he sent someone to answer him, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat, and then quickly sent a small team of people to find the whereabouts of the convoy.

From the mouth of this pro-soldier, Li Dan learned about Lou Shiming's position and disgust with Long Hui, and also knew that Long Hui's troops did not carry much dry food, and they also suffered losses due to heavy rain, and Long Hui was eager to launch an attack immediately after the rain stopped.

He sent someone to quietly send this soldier away, and then made a decision with Gao Hanzi to use this impatient psychology to teach Long Hui a hard lesson.

The decision to choose the location in Huang Nixuan, Li Dan felt that it was feasible. This place is just as Gao Hanzi said: "Three mountains are gathered together, and they are not far from each other." ”

And Li Dan considered not putting it in Lushan for another reason, since it was not conducive to cavalry, a veteran like Long Hui would definitely pass with a vigilant mentality.

Although he can take advantage of the terrain, he does not achieve the effect of attacking.

So when he listened to Gao Hanzi's report, he said that it was better to give up this risk, and when the other party found out that the Tsing Shirt team was not deployed here, they would be surprised and delighted, and therefore had a contempt for the Tsing Shirt team.

Then it was a smooth downhill road into the flat area in front of the Xuan, where they naturally relaxed their vigilance, and then came to Huang Nixuan to be annihilated by the Tsing Yi team.

In this way, the effect of suddenness is amplified, and with the conditions for attack, it can make up for the lack of combat effectiveness and experience of one's own side in the face of the enemy to the greatest extent.

Long Hui is really anxious! When he came out, he brought seven days' rations, because the order given to him was to cut off the path of Li Danbu's retreat, and no one thought that he would continue the pursuit over the mountains and mountains.

After Lou Shiming received his younger brother, he took people away, and everyone saw that Long Hui didn't want to go back, and then they knew that he had a new plan.

But everyone didn't dare to say anything, this general of the Zuojun army had a lot of temper, and everyone chose to shut up without exception.

Unexpectedly, the back road was not only difficult to walk, but also trapped the opponent and himself in a series of heavy rains. Dry food had to be saved, and these people were annoyed by the rain, complained, and their morale dropped significantly.

In this case, Long Hui sincerely prayed to the Dragon King: Please don't go down, even if it's only for a day!

Although he is powerful, he is also afraid of public anger, this is not in the village, there is no store in the back, in case the team disperses in a hurry, then he can be conspicuous, what do you say to the eldest prince when you go back?

Fortunately, God seemed to have heard his prayers, and in the early morning of the second day when he ordered the ration to be halved, seeing that the rain was getting lighter and lighter, the soldiers excitedly woke him up from his sleep: "General, the rain seems to be stopping, come out and take a look!" ”

Long Hui scrambled to get up from the bed, lifted the tent and looked out, although it was still wet everywhere, it was obvious that the scattered raindrops seemed to have announced that there was no end to this rain.

He was overjoyed, hurriedly tied his clothes and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"General Hui, it looks like it's past the ugly time!"

"Wake up the brethren, eat dry food, and prepare their horses! Eat the whole dry food and don't keep it! ”

"That'...... What should we do on the way back? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to find a few rich people or Zhuangzi to rob them? Don't worry about so much, let's kill all the green shirts! And I dare to conclude that Li Dan's rabbit cub must have food in his hands, and those who don't want to go hungry will move Lao Tzu! Long Hui shook his fist excitedly.

However, he was not dizzy from excitement, and he was still very cautious in his work. After all, he was a person who had fought a lot of battles, and Long Hui sent scouts to check the Tsing Yi team's station when the team was preparing to see what was happening on the other side.

Unexpectedly, the scout ran back in a panic and said, "The general is not good, the green shirt team has run away!" ”

"What?" Long Hui jumped like thunder: "Fuck! As soon as the rain stopped, how did they run? Besides, there are thousands of people, how can there be no movement at all? You! ”

"Really, really generals, the little ones have touched, touched, touched and went to their camp to see. The torches have not been extinguished, and the horse manure on the ground is still warm, so it should not have been more than half an hour. ”

"This little lady raised a thief!" Long Hui is really anxious now, if he can't catch Li Dan, wouldn't it make everyone laugh? Everyone will say that they are incompetent behind their backs! He immediately took someone on horseback to check it out for himself, and it turned out to be exactly what the scout had said.

The bamboo fence outside was all left, but the tents and other tents inside were removed, and the ground was covered with horses' hooves and rut marks.

"Chase! Can't let this little thief run away like this, Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath! Long Hui stood in front of a wooden stake in the center of the camp, on which was hung a split piece of wood, and a few words were burned on it: "General Long, go slowly, don't send it!" ”

Soon, a large number of horses came along the mountain road, and Long Hui joined them, ignoring the mud and slippery on the ground, and let the horses trot all the way down to chase down.

However, when he arrived at the front of Lushan, he still muttered in his heart when he saw the mountain, and asked the team to stop and rest, and the scouts went forward to investigate, and when they saw that there was nothing to do, they continued to move forward.

After going down to the flat ground, Long Hui laughed and said to the people around him: "That thief is young and ignorant. If I command, put 200 archers on that deer mountain, enough to hold our army for an hour! ”

"The thief is just a slippery head, how can there be such a tiger as a general? He also pretended to be smart and learned from the ancients to leave a wooden card, and when he caught us, he made a twenty-pound one to hang around his neck, and saw if he was still proud! The crowd flattered.

After walking a mile, I saw the tail of the Tsing Yi team's convoy walking in front of me from a distance, and turned into the back of Huang Nixuan.

Long Hui was overjoyed: "The thieves are two miles away, the sons and daughters are working hard, we finally caught his tail!" After saying that, he urged the whole team to speed up and take advantage of the rising morning light to knock the opponent down.

As soon as I entered Huang Nixuan, I saw the people in front of me in chaos, shouting and fleeing in all directions. Everyone was happy when they saw the bulging sacks in the car, it must be food!

There is no need to urge everyone to rush forward with a strange scream. The valley soon became full of cavalry, and the horses trampled on the harvested rice fields, making countless splashes.

Suddenly, sirens sounded everywhere on the surrounding hills, and many figures in green clothes poured out of the mountains, and even those people fished out their knives, guns, and shields from the water, and formed a small formation of five people in a blink of an eye.

Long Hui was stunned when he saw it, and shouted: "It's not good, it's a plan, withdraw quickly!" Go back! Turning around the horse, he saw that the way in had been blocked by several horse-drawn carts.

When he turned back again, he found that the wheelbarrows and carriages that had been pushed down or abandoned on the road and in the paddy fields had become barriers, and the small formation of five people was leaning back against the vehicles and his cavalry. The cavalry lost speed in front of the obstacle and soon became the target of the attack.

"Eh, this little thief, good means, good strategy!" Long Hui was frightened and frightened, and commanded his subordinates: "Rush forward, rush out, or we will all be finished!" ”

Saying that, he turned his horse and took the lead forward, thinking at this time that as long as he rushed out to survive, what Li Dan, the Green Shirt Army, and those grains were not important.

Seeing the general like this, the cavalry behind had no choice but to follow and break through. They didn't know if they could rush out, but they blindly felt that it was right to follow Long Hui.

Some people died, but not completely......
