In the big tent of the Yan army.

Xu Cun held his left hand on his cheek, and his face was cloudy.

Seeing this, the Rong of the Right Army Supervisor Shang said: "Chief, Du Du is coarse on the outside and fine on the inside, and the four thousand soldiers and horses under his command are the elite of our army, and they are definitely not coveted by this group of bandits. Even if the enemy is luring the enemy deeper, they are not capable of posing much threat to the front army, and at most it will be a melee. ”

Xu Cun said slowly: "Actually, since I entered the mountain, I felt that the enemy's response was too cowardly. Our scouts didn't find any trace of each other, perhaps because they were more familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and because they were good at stealth. But these days they have never attacked our troops at night, which is an extremely obvious sign of anomalies. ”

Xiao Tongyuan, the commander of the rear army, persuaded: "Chief, even if Du Dujian is ambushed, it is impossible for those bandits to defeat the four thousand elites under his command in a short time. According to the last general, our army should now move forward, use this first cottage as a base, divide troops to the north to compress the scope of activity of the Seven Star Gang, gradually force them to the vicinity of the main village, and then defeat this group of bandits in one fell swoop. ”

Others also persuaded him.

The worry in Xu Cun's heart gradually faded, and he said: "The further north you go, the more complicated the terrain becomes, and the mountain roads are chaotic, and our army must be in camp step by step. Shang Dujian, you led 3,000 people from the right army to the north of the cottage, and advanced about 20 miles to the northwest to set up camp to cover the left flank of our army's main force. ”

Shang Zhirong stood up and responded: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Xu Cun said to Xiao Tongyuan again: "You lead the rear army to be stationed here to receive the rear baggage team. ”

Xiao Tongyuan got up and responded, and said, "Chief, could it be that the enemy's real target is the baggage of our army?" Their previous actions may have been deliberately showing weakness, including the fact that the defenders in the cottage in front of them were about to collapse at the touch of a button, just trying to paralyze us, and then surprise the grain and grass in the rear of our army? ”

Shang Zhirong also said: "There is indeed such a possibility. ”

Xu Cun's face flushed with a cold color, and he said lightly: "If they really want to attack our army's food and grass, it will save us a lot of effort." That's it, I will take the Chinese army into the front cottage, and you will act according to your orders. ”

The crowd shouted in unison.

When the main force of the Yan army marched towards the first cottage that had been occupied, Du Min led the vanguard of 4,000 people to chase north for more than an hour.

If, according to the description of the previous guide, they had already come to the position between the first and second sub-villages to the south of the Seven Star Gang, and thirty or forty miles further north, they could see the second mountain village that was guarding the danger.

Along the way, the Seven Star Army can be said to have lost their armor, and weapons and banners can be seen along the road, which is enough to prove that these people are like frightened birds.

Even if you lure the enemy deeper, you can't throw away all the killers.

Du Min's heart became more and more determined, but at this time, he calmed down and issued two military orders one after another.

"Command the whole army, don't chase too closely, give the enemy a little breathing space. The flanks protrude slightly and drive the opponent to the next cottage to ensure that they have time to enter the cottage. ”

"Inform the main force of our army, send troops to follow as soon as possible, our troops will directly smash the enemy's second cottage, and will definitely destroy the enemy's morale in a battle!"

Several heralds immediately responded and split up.

……

On the mountain more than twenty miles to the south, Lu Shen stood on a flat boulder, calmly looking at the road in the distance.

Several deputy commanders stood solemnly, and one of them said, "Captain Lu, why don't we ambush that Yan army?" ”

This is actually a question shared by others.

Previously, they watched the brothers in the gang retreat north in embarrassment, and the Yan army behind them was chasing after them like wolves, almost everyone wanted to rush down to fight, but Lu Shen never gave an order, they could only suppress the anger in their hearts and continue to hide in the grass and trees.

Lu Shen said lightly: "Because the enemy is very strong." ”

After two months of brainwashing, everyone at least dared to fight the enemy to the death, not to mention that they regarded death as home, so they were inevitably a little unconvinced.

Although Lu Shen didn't look back, he seemed to be able to see through their thoughts, and continued: "That Yan army is about 4,000 people, and it is the enemy's vanguard force. In any army, those who can be entrusted with the important task of vanguard will inevitably be the elite main force. Maybe you can't see that these thousands of people can still maintain a fairly neat formation during the pursuit, which means that they will not be in chaos because of the sudden appearance of ambushes. ”

Everyone gradually understood, and Lou Chengyuan, the deputy commander of the Chinese army who spoke earlier, said with admiration: "I see, fortunately, the captain's vision is accurate, and we didn't make a big mistake." ”

Lu Shen smiled slightly, and then said indifferently: "It is difficult to set up a seamless conspiracy on the battlefield. Since the enemy army entered the mountain, we have retreated step by step, including today Liangfeng Zhai gave up after a little resistance, the generals of the Yan army are not stupid, and they will not even be able to see such an obvious strategy to lure the enemy. If we choose to attack the vanguard of the Yan Army, it is very likely that we will fall into the hands of the other party. ”

Everyone looked at him, full of curiosity.

Lu Shen explained: "Our advantage in the mountains is that we can break into pieces, and we can advance and retreat by virtue of our familiarity with the terrain, but the enemy cannot do this, so we can only use the method of steady and steady attack step by step, and reduce our range of activities little by little. If we take the initiative to attack and choose such a hard nail as the vanguard of the enemy army, if you are the commander of the Yan army, will you be overjoyed? ”

"Definitely!"

"And if we don't win quickly, we risk getting entangled in the enemy. Once the two sides fall into a scuffle and the main force of the Yan army arrives, then we will be in danger! ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and Lu Shen couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

During this time, he trained in the mountains, and hoped that he could personally bring out a group of generals, even if he wanted to go south and return to Huaizhou in the future, these people could also support the structure of the Seven Star Army.

"So the Captain's goal is the enemy's reinforcements?" Another deputy commander, Chu Zhu, asked curiously.

Lu Shen bowed his head and said: "The vanguard of the Yan army is pursuing so recklessly, the enemy commander must not be at ease, and he will definitely send a part of his troops north to respond." According to the information I have, the commander of the enemy army, Xu Cun, is cautious and does not dare to take risks easily, so he will definitely not let thousands of pioneers plunge headlong into the mountains. This support soldier is definitely not as strong as the vanguard, and it will definitely consume a lot of physical strength to rush all the way, but our army is waiting here comfortably, what is this called? ”

Chu Zhu immediately replied: "Wait for work!" ”

Lou Chengyuan added: "Strong against weak! ”

Lu Shen smiled: "That's right. ”

At this time, another deputy commander, Yu Dajun, asked: "Captain, if the enemy commander does not send reinforcements, and only lets a few scouts force the vanguard to return with military orders, how should we deal with it then?" ”

Lu Shen looked at him with a little surprise, this is an ordinary steward of the Seven Star Gang, who showed a very standard military temperament after entering the Seven Star Army, and for many military affairs, it can be described as self-taught, which is the object of Lu Shen's attention.

Hearing him raise this seemingly meaningless question at this moment, Lu Shen said approvingly: "Very good, you can consider the battle situation from a higher perspective." In fact, the answer is very simple, if the enemy commander is really so sensible and cautious, then we will not do anything, continue to create the illusion that we are already frightened by the enemy, and wait for the next opportunity, but-"

He suddenly turned his head to look south, and said calmly: "The enemy seems to be very generous, and has decided to give us the opportunity to eat meat. ”

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a group of Yan troops coming quickly from the south, about to enter this valley.

At this moment, everyone's breathing could not help but rapidize.

Lu Shen watched quietly, and after a while, he took a horse chopping knife from Tan Zheng's hand, and said loudly: "Drumming!" ”

On the valley, 3,000 people from the left army of the Yan army marched north under the command of the capital supervisor Wen Xiguang.

Xu Cun was afraid that a few heralds would not move Du Min, so he asked Wen Xiguang to take people there, on the one hand, to let the vanguard army return honestly, and on the other hand, he was worried that the vanguard would be ambushed, so he sent a receiving force.

Wen Xiguang led his troops to hurry up, and kept encountering the scouts left by the vanguard of the former army along the way, and when he learned that Du Min had led the front army to chase dozens of miles to the northeast, he couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart for a while.

He could only urge his subordinates to speed up, and at the same time let the two lieutenants ride north, making sure to stop Du Min's reckless man.

At this moment, a majestic drum suddenly exploded between heaven and earth.

Yan Jun lost his mind in an instant.

The next moment, the mountains on both sides of the sudden change, the leafy trees suddenly flew down the vigorous fierce soldiers, under the puffy grass stood up the murderous elite tiger Ben, a gentle slope of low hills jumped out of the mountain men with guns and knives.

As the sound of drums filled Yan Jun's ears, the vast mountains and fields changed in an instant.

It was as if the tree, the flower, and the grass were all illusions, just to cover up the existence of the Seven Star Gang warriors.

Wen Xiguang's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "Array, meet the enemy!" ”

I have to say that this is the most correct response he can make at this moment, if he hesitates a little, the Seven Star Army ambushed on both sides will crush the stunned Yan Army.

But even if he reacted quickly, he still underestimated the true strength of the Seven Star Army!

There were more than 1,000 people on the left and right sides, rushing down all over the mountains and fields, and launched a surging impact like a huge wave towards the Yan Army!

Lu Shen held a horse chopping knife in his hand, and his internal strength instantly moved his whole body, and he strode forward first, roaring angrily: "Kill!" ”

The sword flashed, and a Yan soldier fell immediately.

Countless roars burst out from the chest of the Seven Star Army man: "Kill! ”

They practiced day and night in the mountains for more than two months, and they were consciously suppressed by Lu Shen, and once they poured out at this moment, they swept everything in front of them like a torrent.

Wen Xiguang commanded his subordinates to resist stubbornly, and at this time he still wanted to entangle the enemy's main force, whether it was the vanguard army in the north or the main force in the rear, as long as he learned that the changes here were coming quickly, there was still hope of annihilating the enemy army.

"Don't mess around! Give Ben a hold on! ”

In the face of the frantic offensive of the Seven Star Army on both flanks, the Yan Army fell into a passive defense almost from the beginning.

Even though they were slightly more numerous, the arrows of the Seven Star Army were all martial arts masters, especially those warriors with heavy armor and big waists, who were as unstoppable as the killing gods who had descended on the world.

While the Yan army was struggling to support, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the southeast.

Wen Xiguang turned his head sharply, and this glance almost made him almost faint.

Hundreds of horsemen came out of the mountain path, led by a young female general who was heroic and galloping, holding a long knife and beating a horse.

"Kill!"

Lin Xi's cold voice resounded across the battlefield, and the three hundred horsemen responded with a bang, like a sharp long knife stabbing into the ribs of the Yan army.

Lu Shen glanced up at the cavalry in the distance, although he couldn't see where Lin Xi was, but at this moment, the two of them seemed to have a heart in their hearts, and they rushed forward quickly in the same direction.

The three torrents converged in a very short period of time, and then blossomed from the inside to the outside in all directions, and the Yan army's formation was in chaos.

Break the formation!

The Yan army is defeated!
