The general looked at the completed fortifications in front of him, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and asked the soldier next to him, the soldier said: "Childe is called to repair fortifications, everyone knows that this is Childe is afraid that we will be hurt, it is for our sake, we naturally have to work harder for ourselves, this wall we estimate is that Childe is afraid of tired us, we ourselves in order to be able to use it well, so we will widen, if we don't know Childe's mind, then we can be taller than one person." After hearing this, the general praised it repeatedly, and then told everyone about Childe's arrangement, and then rushed back to the headquarters and saw Childe crawling on the table and looking at the map. The general came to him and glanced at it, this is a large uninhabited plain in the pass, a large area of land between the cloud barrier pass and the wind barrier pass.

After Xiao Jiu saw the general come back, he asked about the fortifications, and after the general said happily, Xiao Jiu said: "The ability of soldiers is endless, the key is to give full play to their abilities, our soldiers are very great, and when the general knows the truth of loving soldiers like sons, so that our army can be invincible and overcome all difficulties." ”

When the general heard this, he was also deeply touched, and he pondered silently, and then Xiao Jiu said: "Okay, hurry up and rest, take care of your spirits, and prepare for tomorrow's big battle, which is a bitter battle between 80,000 and more than 200,000 people." When the general heard this, he stood up and said, "Although it sounds like a huge disparity in strength, we can definitely win." ”

Early the next morning, the general came to Xiao Jiu's room softly and slowly, took a look, and then was shocked, seeing that Childe was still the same as when he left yesterday, crawling on the table in the same same position, still looking at the painting there, the general looked at the soldiers standing guard outside the door and asked, "Childe hasn't rested all night." The soldier said admiringly: "Childe not only did not rest, but he did not even change his posture all night. What a man of God. ”

The general said to the soldiers: "That's a lot of things for the son to do, think about it, you didn't expect that he was still a child, if he was tired, it would be troublesome." ”

At this time, Xiao Jiu walked out of the room and said to the general, "General." Why did you come so early, didn't you say that you had to eat at two strokes a day, and you didn't have anything to eat so early. ”

The general just smiled bitterly and said: "I can't sleep, so I have to get up and go around, and when the battle is over, I'll sleep well for a few days, but now it's not good." While the two were talking, a soldier came running to report that the soldiers sent by the front army to report the news from level to level, and that the opponent's army had appeared, and that they would be able to fight the enemy with two strokes on the day. Xiao Jiuyi immediately said when he heard it. We're still early, and it looks like we'll have to wait until noon for our opponents to arrive.

After everyone had finished eating, the generals all came to Gongzi and said to Xiao Jiu: "Please take the command platform and command the formation." Xiao Jiu said: "Don't worry, it's still early." Let's go to the position and have a look. As he spoke, he came to the fortifications and said to the generals: "Tell the soldiers to hide behind these vehicles as quickly as possible after shooting an arrow." Plug in a few more crossbowmen to pick up the outcropping opponents and reduce our casualties. The soldiers on the earthen wall were still in groups of three, with one shield protecting two. Shoot arrows one person at a time, and change them later. Pull out all the stone throwers and put them all behind the earthen wall and on the wall of the horse farm. ”

At this time, a general exclaimed: "Oops, there are no stones on the horse farm wall. After that, he turned around and went to arrange. Xiao Jiu said: "No need, except for the little space occupied by the stone thrower, the entire wall will be demolished by you." As long as you have the ability, it's okay to throw the whole wall over. When everyone heard this, they all said that this is good, and the people who demolished their houses and smashed them were enjoyable. Xiao Jiu continued: "These veterans are very difficult, let the soldiers protect themselves very carefully, after shooting, they must quickly hide in the hiding place, otherwise they will be shot down by the other party, draw more crossbow arrows, shoot them as soon as they show their heads, don't save and hurt yourself." After speaking, he looked at the time and said: "Let's all go back to the whole team, you must make it clear to the soldiers, and you must always remind the soldiers to pay attention to each other's secret moves when you start a war." ”

After everyone left, Xiao Jiu and the general looked at the surrounding terrain again, and then came to the command platform, Xiao Jiu saw that the general was holding two shields in his hands when he came to the stage, and after coming to the stage, he put one on the front of Xiao Jiu, and the other in his hand. Xiao Jiu looked around and saw that the soldiers were busy setting up the stone throwers, and the other soldiers began to enter the position, and the generals followed and began to carefully inspect the cover places of each soldier, everything was going on in a tense and orderly manner.

Approaching noon, the weather was particularly sunny, the sun was baking the earth like a big stove, Xiao Jiu looked at the soldiers who were surrounded by green branches and hidden in the shade of the trees, and were happily drinking the water sent, with a leisurely and satisfied look. Xiao Jiu thought to himself, this weather would make the opponent suffer a lot of sins, walking and marching under the scorching sun was the most physically exhausting. At this moment, an arrow was shot from a long distance, and Xiao Jiu knew that it was the troops in front of him who were informing him that the other party's troops were about to arrive. Xiao Jiu said to the starter: "Command the troops, hide on the spot, pay attention to the opponent is about to arrive, and prepare to move." With the swing of the flag, the soldiers were ready to have bows and arrows in their hands, and the stone throwers began to load, Xiao Jiu looked into the distance, and gradually slowly showed a distorted crowd in the steaming mist of the earth, and as they gradually approached, the crowd slowly showed their true faces. Xiao Jiu looked at the other party's army that was revealed, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, he couldn't believe that the army he saw in front of him was untidy, tired, and unformed, and huddled together, which was a strong army elite soldier who could be listed on the mainland. What Xiao Jiu didn't know was that he arranged for those generals to command the opponent to consume the opponent with wolf tactics, and those generals were worried that the troops next to Gongzi were too small, for fear of accidents, so the frequency and intensity used in the harassment were different, although the cavalry was replenished very sufficiently, so more than half of the arrows were still consumed, and the soldiers also knew that the troops around Gongzi were too small, and they could usually shoot two or three arrows in the harassment, at this time, they were all doubled, and the rotation basically became a team followed by a team of non-stop attacks, if it weren't for the strong will of these opponents to support, they would have become skirmishers before they came to the horse farm。 These soldiers have seen such a method of warfare, since they left their barracks, the road was quite smooth, and when it was dawn, their nightmare had already begun, under the round of attacks, the shield they used could not block the opponent's sharp arrows at all, and their bows and arrows could not shoot in front of the opponent. The chariots sent out were also gone, but the commander received an order to reinforce the racecourse, so he insisted on walking towards the racecourse with the tenacity he had cultivated, and seeing that he was about to get to the racecourse, these harassing troops, as if they knew that they must go to the racecourse, would never give up halfway, and before leaving, they also came to a collective group to shoot and cover, and almost all the soldiers were scarred, originally under this kind of attack. It made everyone very nervous, sweating a lot, and the weather couldn't get along with themselves, the scorching sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the ground was hot, and all the soldiers were thirsty with their mouths wide open, and their mouths began to "crack the bloody mouths, and in this situation they finally came to the horse farm."

When Xiao Jiu saw this situation, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Everyone is afraid that I have too few soldiers here." The intensity of the attack has been increased, if it weren't for this legion, the others would have dispersed a long time ago, and there would be no business for us at all. In that case, let's take a closer look. As he spoke, he looked at the approaching opponent, and at this time, the other party also noticed that the situation in the horse farm had changed, and the soldiers began to prepare the weapons in their hands. Xiao Jiu saw the cavalry rushing around the big circle in the distance. Knowing that this was to block the opponent's reinforcements, he said to the starter: "Spare the first layer and shoot at the second layer." The trebuchet starts all the shots at maximum range. The first floor is free to shoot by everyone. ”

With Xiao Jiu's words. A buzzing sound was heard, and a dark cloud drifted towards the opponent, followed by the rocks in the sky, and then the soldiers began to shoot at the opponent in front of them. At this time, the soldiers began to appreciate the toughness and stubbornness of the opponent that Childe said. Although the opponent's bow and arrow are far inferior to their own, they can also shoot arrows to their own positions, and also cause several soldiers to be injured, especially the opponent who has not been shot and has not lost his breath, crawling close to the position, to come over and fight hard, the soldiers are more calm at this time, shoot the arrows more accurately, and strive to kill with one arrow, crossbow arrows also appear in the hands of many soldiers, with superior equipment, quickly eliminate the opponent. At this time, the reinforcements of the two cavalry sounded the sound of arrows, the ground sounded a thunderous thrilling sound, the opponents were frightened to look at the sound, and gradually saw a red tide floating above the head on both sides, and a dark cloud below, was pressing towards him, and when he was about to approach, a long knife with a cold light flashed in an instant, waving and running. Looking at the rushing cavalry, although it was the first time to see such a cavalry, and I was shocked by this galloping momentum, the desperate spirit in my bones supported it, picked up the weapon, and met it regardless of the extreme exhaustion of the body.

The soldiers guarding the horse farm, because their mounts were put into the herd, they have no horses to ride now, so they have to jump to their feet and watch their companions leaping horses and raising their swords, charging majestically, smacking their mouths with red eyes, Xiao Jiu saw this and said to everyone: "You don't have to look at them, when we go back, they will be angry with us." Now we hurriedly packed our things, leaving some of the people to help with the cooking, and the rest of us hurried to prepare to go to the battlefield to treat the wounded. After listening to Childe's words, everyone didn't believe that their companions could be injured. Xiao Jiu looked at everyone's expressions and said: "Although I don't know how many casualties there are, but fighting with these people, there will inevitably be casualties, everyone has also seen it, although they are our opponents, but the kind of style that is not afraid of death, not afraid of death, and fighting to the death, everyone should have a deep image, although I don't advocate such a desperate style, as a soldier I admire." Let's go and bring our fallen comrades back to their homeland for burial, but we should also give a generous burial to our opponents, they are worthy of our respect, they are warriors. ”

As soon as everyone heard that their companions had casualties, everyone's mood was very heavy, and when they thought that they were not also injured, this was still when they were far away from the opponent and gave full play to the advantage of their equipment, and the companions who rushed to the opponent to fight can be imagined. After everyone hurriedly packed up their things, they hurried to the battlefield.

Xiao Jiu and the general were in the command headquarters, and when they heard that more than 20 people had been killed and nearly 100 were wounded, both of them had tears in their eyes. This was the first time that a cavalry unit had been killed and wounded in the largest number of casualties since its formation. (To be continued......)
