Chapter 212: A little bit of the art of war

Two days later, the cavalry regiment passed through Longyan Mountain in the Dragon Forest, looked at it from a distance, the blood-red "Longyan Mountain" three big characters appeared on the towering stone wall, and from a distance, you could almost see the flag fluttering on Longyan, that was the flag of the Gentian Battalion, at the same time, the foot of Longyan Mountain has already presented a village scene, all the houses are newly built, many civilians have moved here, and there is even a market in the center of the village at noon.

……

Qi Ying, the captain of the accompanying Tianchong Legion, looked up at Longyan Mountain with awe-inspiring eyes, and asked: "General, it is said that there is a mercenary group called 'Gentian Battalion' entrenched in this mountain range, and its strength is not bad, my lord, since we are passing through here, do you want to go up the mountain and 'borrow' a little blade grain and grass from this Gentian Battalion?"

He grinned, very wicked.

Lin Muyu shook his head: "No need, you just camp at the bottom of the mountain to rest for a while, I will go up the mountain to negotiate with the Gentian Battalion, and invite them to go to Cangnan Province to exterminate the Chivalry Pavilion, otherwise I am afraid that our 5ooo cavalry alone may not be able to succeed." ”

"What!?"

Qi Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "General, don't do it...... Although this gentian battalion is registered in the imperial capital, it ...... The mercenaries are cruel and arrogant one by one, and the adults are afraid that it will be dangerous to go up the mountain alone. ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, you camp on the spot, and don't disturb the people along the way. ”

"Yes! General, be careful. ”

"Hmm. ”

……

Lin Muyu only led Wei Qiu and Xiahou Sang up the mountain, but now the soldiers of the Gentian Battalion are strong and strong, and the mercenaries are no longer as debauched as before, but are full of energy, and the training of Luo Yu and Fengxi can already be seen.

Not long after, Luo Yu and Fengxi walked out of the conference hall with a radiant face, greeted them directly, and said with a respectful smile: "My lord, you are here!"

"Hmm. ”

Lin Muyu nodded and asked, "How is the Gentian Camp recently?"

Luo Yu said with a smile: "As soon as you are fine, we have cleared out all the wandering mercenary groups and the forces of the Chivalry Pavilion within 5oo miles of the vicinity, except for the Yanlong Mercenary Regiment, and we have expanded our number to 5,417 people!"

"More than five thousand?!"

Lin Muyu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "How about the war horse and the blade?"

Luo Yu hugged his fists and said: "Everyone is equipped with war horses and long and short weapons, these more than 5,000 people are cavalry when they get on the horse, and infantry when they get off the horse, please rest assured about their combat effectiveness." ”

"That's good!"

Lin Muyu said with a smile of ambition: "Immediately order 5ooo people, bring three days of dry food, and enter Cangnan Province with me to go out for military training." ”

"Oh?" Luo Yu was stunned: "Where are you going to attack?"

"Purge all the forces of the Chivalrous Pavilion in Cangnan Province. ”

"I see, my subordinates immediately went to gather men. ”

"Good!"

……

Less than half an hour later, 5ooo elite gentian battalion mercenaries have gathered on the top of the mountain, all of them are on horseback, the scale is unprecedentedly strong, and these people's blades and war horses are even better than those of the Tianchong Legion, it is good to have money!

"Down the mountain!"

Raising the flag, the dragon-shaped pattern fluttering in the air is really beautiful.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Qi Ying, who was far away, picked up his gun and got on his horse, and shouted: "The enemy is coming, prepare to defend!"

The heavy cavalry of the Tianchong Army mounted their horses one after another, put their spears against the heads of the war horses, and prepared to meet the Gentian battalion attacked from the mountain one by one.

However, Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked in front and said loudly: "General Qi Ying, it's your own person, it's okay." ”

Qi Ying was stunned for a moment and smiled: "General Shenyong, did you really convince this group of mercenaries from the Gentian Battalion?"

Wei Qiu stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "Originally, it was the general's people, why convince it, okay, go out to Yinshan City!"

"Hmm!"

……

At this point, 10,000 heavy cavalry left the territory of Lanyan City, and went straight to the territory of Cangnan Province, and two days later entered Cangnan Province, and the small city of Yinshan City could be seen from afar.

Lin Muyu had mixed feelings, the last time he left Yinshan City, he and Chu Yao escaped from Huatian's father and son, but he didn't expect that he had already brought tens of thousands of horses with him when he came to Yinshan City this time, and he was already a general of Zhennan.

Not long after, a group of people galloped from the city, and the two people in the lead were dressed as civil officials and military attachΓ©s.

"In the Lower Silver Fir City, Zhang Yida is too guarded to see my lord!"

"The last general, the general of the garrison of Yinshan City, Wang Hejian, the general!"

The expressions of the two people were very respectful, and Lin Muyu was not surprised, in the Great Qin Empire, the distinction between high and low official ranks was very strict, and he, the general of Zhennan, was almost god-like in this small city.

Zhang Yida had a flattering smile on his face, dismounted and knelt on the ground to salute, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the emperor's righteous son, and it is a great honor for the villain to come to Yinshan City.

Wang He clenched his fists and said, "Please enter the city!"

These two people were very enthusiastic in their words and deeds, but what Lin Muyu felt was boundless indifference, and said with a slight smile: "No need, the army will not enter the city, and will not disturb the people, so they will camp in the Seven Star Forest outside the city, Lord City Guard, please go and prepare food, water, and war horse food and grass for us immediately, it is all up to you." ”

Zhang Yida was stunned: "My lord, you ...... You're not going into town?"

"Yes, not in the city. ”

Lin Muyu respectfully clenched his fists and said with a smile: "I'm annoyed with Lord Lao Chengshou and General Wang He, please go and prepare for us immediately!"

"Yes......"

Zhang Yida and Wang He were dumbfounded, and hurriedly left with everyone.

Lin Muyu watched them go away, and said lightly: "Set up camp near the Seven Star Forest, don't occupy the official road, prepare to bury the pot and cook, rest well today, and attack the main altar of the Chivalrous Pavilion early tomorrow morning." ”

Qi Ying's face was admired, and she hugged her fists and said, "Yes, General!"

……

At night, the sky is full of stars, the chill is pressing, the temperature drops sharply, and it seems that it is about to snow again.

Lin Muyu brought all the cavalry this time, and he must fight and not drag it out, otherwise the forage for the war horses is a big problem, Yinshan City is just a small city, and the grain and grass that supports 10,000 war horses is okay for a day or two, but if it is a month, I am afraid it will be a little reluctant.

Under the jumping firelight, Wei Qiu unfolded a map of Cangnan Province, pointed to the red markers on it, and said: "The general altar of Cangnan Province is located on this mountain called 'Fire Axe Mountain', this Fire Axe Mountain is not high, but the terrain is very steep, similar to a fire axe, hence the name, according to my information, there are currently more than 42oo knight pavilions on Fire Axe Mountain, one big game envoy, two game ambassadors, cough cough...... Last time, you killed a gamer, so this group of people must be very hateful to us. ”

Qi Ying said: "There are many eyes and ears in the Chivalry Pavilion, we have come to Yinshan City so mightily, I think they will also know, so we must take it slowly, I mean...... Why don't you wait until Lord Shen Yang arrives with 15,000 infantry, and then attack together?"

"It's too late. ”

Lin Muyu shook his head and said: "When the infantry army arrived here, the daylilies were cold, and some people were sent to spy on the terrain and intelligence tonight, so as to prevent them from setting up an ambush halfway and directly attacking the mountain tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!"

After Qi Ying and several other generals dispersed, Wei Qiu's eyes dimmed and asked, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry to attack the mountain? This doesn't look like your character......

Lin Muyu exhaled a breath of mist and said: "If it is late, things will change, the relationship between the Chivalry Pavilion and Wugu City is inextricably linked, we must fight a battle, otherwise let Wugu City react, I'm afraid it will be so easy for us to exterminate the Chivalrous Hotel." ”

"Does Governor Hu Tiening really dare to openly defend the Chivalrous Inn?"

"No, he wouldn't dare, but he wouldn't let us go too well. ”

"Yes, my subordinates know about ......"

……

In the early morning of the next day, 10,000 troops pulled out and went straight to the Fire Axe Mountain, which was less than two hundred miles away from Yinshan City, and it was just a half-day trip for the cavalry, Lin Muyu's eyes fell on the crowd, the heavy cavalry of the Tianchong Army was equipped with small round shields, spears, and swords, and was good at melee combat, while the heavy cavalry of the Gentian Battalion was equipped with strong bows, which was an absolute advantage, and if you wanted to kill without damage, you must be equipped with long-range weapons, and the mercenaries of the Gentian Battalion were skilled in bows and horses, and seemed to be more suitable for fighting in the mountains.

Along the way, scouts report frequently, the terrain has been surveyed, and it is almost impossible for the Knight's Lodge to ambush him.

Before noon, arrive at the foot of the Fire Axe Mountain!

Looking up, the Fire Axe Mountain is like a fiery red battle axe across the heavens and the earth, the rocks are red, the central flag is fluttering, the houses are lined up, and there is a stone fortress at the mountain gate to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

It is difficult for a war horse to travel in the mountains, let alone a steep slope of almost 45 degrees?

Qi Ying's sword eyebrows tightened, and said, "General, how are we going to attack?"

"No need to attack. ”

Lin Muyu rode on the war horse and said with a smile: "I have already obtained information, although the food on this mountain is sufficient, but the water is picked up from the clear spring under the mountain, they have more than 4ooo troops in the main altar, and the daily water consumption is very large, we will besiege but not attack, they will inevitably go down the mountain to fight with us in three days." ”

Saying that, Lin Muyu smiled slightly, and said confidently: "They chose the natural danger of Fire Axe Mountain as their nest, but they forgot the water source, this is digging their own grave!"

Qi Ying's face was stunned, and she hugged her fists and said, "I didn't expect the general to be so powerful at a young age......

"Don't compliment me. ”

Lin Muyu raised his hand and said, "Surround the mountain, the archers are ready to fight at any time, and wait for them to come down the mountain by themselves." ”

"Yes, General!" said everyone's faces.

Originally, many soldiers thought that forcibly attacking the mountain would definitely cause huge losses, but now it seems that with a resourceful commander like Lin Muyu, there is no need to suffer too much damage.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and the army is based on food, but it is the same when it is replaced by water.

……

Lin Muyu thought that he only had a superficial opinion on the art of war, but compared to the great gamekeeper on the mountain, he himself was already well versed in the art of war
