So Lin Fengjin next mentioned a few words to Lu Yu about the westward advance of the Tempest Legion, and after Lu Yu heard it, his eyes also lit up, not to mention what effect this plan can receive, just being able to rush into the land of the Middle Tang Dynasty to burn, kill and loot is already able to make himself open-minded and his thoughts are clear.

There is a way that people fight for a breath, the tree lives a skin, and the people of Shengdou have their own face to maintain, for a very simple example, the most unbearable thing for men is that they are cuckolded, in fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to lose in essence, that is, your woman's body has come into contact with other men, and if you want to say the specific meaning, it is similar to shaking two sweaty hands. But why can't men endure this kind of thing? It's actually very simple, that is, some intangible things are hurt emotionally and mentally.

Northern Qi was attacked by two marches at the same time, and Lu Yu, as the monarch, was of course greatly hurt emotionally and materially, so he approved Lin Fengjin's proposal without thinking about it, and on the spot, he and Lin Fengjin killed some details of the Tempest Legion were thoroughly planned, such as how to pretend to be the Tang Army along the way, how to burn and loot in the most efficient way after entering, such as how to respond to them in the end, etc.!

In the end, a lot of insidious and vicious tricks were added, for example, many of the old troops in the Tempest Legion were Xirong people, so let these Xirong people form a separate army, and they didn't even need to pretend, and directly used the banner of Xirong to burn and loot in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and for example, how to harm the people in the territory of the Middle Tang Dynasty, completely abolish the wells, and so on.

Why do we want to take out the wells separately here, but because the irrigation water network in the north of the Zhongtang Dynasty is actually not too developed, so in this intensive farming culture, the sweet water wells with large water output at a glance are actually strategic substances that are more precious than the cultivated cattle, and the most fundamental thing in farming, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand are still inseparable from the water source. Destroy a well. It is likely that the yield of hundreds of acres of land around will be drastically reduced or even abandoned!

And re-drill the well, it is definitely not like the kind of place in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, you must first find the Kanyu master to find the leyline, and then the people from the four towns and eight miles together to contribute, and the people's hearts do not suffer from poverty, unevenness, the well is not a designated place can be drilled, and it can't be moved and taken away, if the big family has a big head, in case the well is three or four miles away from his field. How can people make sense of that? Cheap other people's homes!

More importantly, the success rate of drilling wells in Zhongtang is not high, and only three mouths can have one mouthful of water, which is only one-third of the success rate.

Even if it is a well that produces water, it is often encountered that there is not a large amount of waste well, which belongs to the kind where there are a dozen more households, and only mud soup is left below, although the proportion of this kind of waste well is not high, it is good to meet two out of ten wells. At last. It is also necessary to get rid of the alkaline wells, which have a large amount of water but a rather bitter taste, and can only be used for watering vegetables and drinking livestock

Therefore, what are the odds of digging a well to make a sweet water well. It can almost be calculated with a finger bent, and the countrymen are not stupid and can settle accounts, so Lu Yu's order to destroy the well like this is actually a desperate plan. Destroying a sweet water well with a draft, unless the government comes forward, the probability of the farmer family spontaneously deciding to dig another well is almost zero

Wait until the affairs of the Tempest Army are settled. In the next external matter, although Lin Fengjin has a belly case, since he has made up his mind and doesn't say anything, he simply keeps his mouth shut, because this matter is not in a hurry, and there is no need to be anxious.

Because the best time to implement this plan is not now, but after the Northern Qi army has firmly surrounded Zuoliucheng, at that time, the news that the Tempest Army went straight into the territory of Zhongtang and burned to zero should also be passed on, and the news of the connection between Northern Qi and Xirong will be released, which is really worse than a discount.

Lu Yu was also very busy at this time, and the next few people to meet did not shy away from Lin Fengjin, but just let him listen to him, among these people, Lin Fengjin has familiar faces, and some have unfamiliar faces, but they all have one thing in common, that is, all of them are real power figures in the army, holding military power!

After seeing these people, Lin Fengjin was already sighing in his heart, he suddenly felt that he was really born with hard work, isn't this being remembered by Lu Yu again? At this time, his transfer envoy was almost busy, everything was on the right track, there was a storm army blocking the mouth in front, and close to 100,000 Qinwang troops were already approaching the Zhongtang Army, so the time for him to leave office was almost the same.

Then, it is completely unnecessary for Lu Yu to introduce himself to the real power figures in the army in the most simple and direct way, so it can almost be judged that the two sides will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future, so that Lin Fengjin will stand by his side and get acquainted with these people first.

If you think about it further, this battle is that the Northern Qi Dynasty almost raised heavy troops, Lu Yu drove the expedition in person, and the troops gathered were 100,000 upwards, so a huge military group, if the logistics system could not achieve unified scheduling, then there would be a huge waste of manpower and material resources.

It's just that such a huge logistics system can only set up a temporary organization similar to the battalion manager, and if the battle is over, then it will have to be abolished, which will directly make many people retreat -- what kind of motivation is there for the hard work and painstaking effort to get a project out, and then it will be withdrawn as soon as it is started?

Of course, as long as Lu Yu reveals this meaning, there must be a lot of people who are willing to do this, but these people are unwilling to be the head of the camp of this 100,000-strong army, Lu Yu!

Therefore, it is obvious that Lu Yu is asking Lin Fengjin to continue to take over this hot potato, Lin Fengjin took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around, sighed very simply, and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, you're going to put me on the stove to roast, I've slept for three hours in the last three or four days combined!"

Lu Yu said very simply to the waiter next to him:

"Wu Xian, send Lin to the transfer envoy, oh, no, it should be Mr. Lin who goes out, right Mr. Lin. Your previous transfer envoy has not been revoked, and it is officially merged under the weight of the head of the camp, whether you continue to serve part-time or find someone to do it, then it is up to you. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you just become Manager Lin? You haven't asked my opinion yet."

Four days later, Lin Fengjin, who took office, also almost straightened out the things in his hands, in fact, each army also has its own firehead army, baggage battalion, Lin Fengjin did not disrupt these people and resettle, but just let them become orderly. At the same time, some necessary institutions should also be operated in advance, such as the wounded barracks.

A lot of things have happened in these four days, first of all, the Tempest Army has completely begun to advance westward, and after dressing up as the evacuated Central Tang Army, the speed of westward advance has not stopped, and the resistance of the Central Tang side is even weaker than imagined.

And secondly, it is. The idea of uniting with Xijon has also begun to be formally proposed, and it has also been completed and supplemented by a large number of people, and there will definitely be no shortage of smart people in the world. The method they came up with was even more ruthless, and they actually created a momentum to say Xirong. Nan Zheng had already taken advantage of the emptiness in the Tang Dynasty to attack their hinterland, and this kind of rumor-mongering did not have much support.

However, the most important thing is that the Tempest Legion really attacked to the west, and initially in the guise of the evacuated Central Tang Army. Several key passes were broken. You know, if it were the rest of the time, General Tempest's move might not have a high chance of success. But what is the situation now, it is just the situation that the Hengbo general Tian Wu, as the inner deservant of the Central Tang Dynasty, has taken refuge in the past! The various internal management and screening systems are all in chaos, and the initial victory in the war has also paralyzed the carelessness of the Central Tang people!

Therefore, at this time, the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty really came up with evidence to prove that the hinterland of the Central Tang Dynasty had been invaded, and they could come up with physical evidence, even the county order of the captive, and the living witness of the gentry!!

In this case, even people who don't know anything about military affairs probably know that the Armageddon between the two sides may not be too long, at this time both sides are eager to fight quickly, and Northern Qi can't afford to wait, because at this time, the Xirong people still seem to be parasitic on their land like poisonous sores, and if they stay for one more day, the national strength of Northern Qi will suffer a little more damage, and the pressure on them is just as great, because not only to fight this battle, but also to win beautifully, not to win a miserable victory, because they are also responsible for leaving the remaining strength to drive away those damn Xijon people after the battle。

Similarly, the people of the Tang Dynasty could not afford to wait, seeing that the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty was breached, and many of the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty who were escorted out by the Northern Qi people were crying and being abused under the city every day, and the Tang Dynasty army did not want to rush out to save people, but the city gate was so big, how many troops could be put out in a hurry? As soon as they rushed out, they waited for the cavalry who rushed from all directions to make dumplings!

If they had been arrayed with their backs to the city walls, the archers on the city walls would have shot farther than those below, and it would have been safe, but after losing their suddenness, the captives would have been driven back long ago.

Therefore, if the people of the Tang Dynasty fight now, they can still have the possibility of using the momentum of mourning soldiers, if they don't fight now, their morale is declining in a straight line every day, and if they wait for ten days and half a month, it is estimated that even if they want to fight, the morale of the army is weak, and there is no chance of winning at all.

However, there is also a bad news that Xirong really made a deal with the Chinese Tang people, and they did take out a large number of cattle and horses to trade with the Chinese Tang people, because the northeast of Xirong is the grassland, and cattle, sheep and livestock are not very scarce.

At the same time, the thing that the Xirong people are more willing to see is that the Northern Qi and the Tang Dynasty are both defeated, and the weak Northern Qi is even weaker, and the powerful Zhongtang cannot get up, which is the most in line with the interests of Xirong.

In this case, after you attack and defend and test each other for a few rounds, after all, the Zhongtang people can't hold their breath first.

It seems that they occupy an advantageous position and have plenty of food, but this time the defense of the city is completely soured!

Because under normal circumstances, the people who defend the city are definitely not as elite as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but their fighting spirit is full, because they are fighting for the families in the city, not to mention anything else, this alone is enough to double the combat effectiveness.

At the same time, there is another point of confidence in defending the city. That's reinforcements. There is a strong city inside, and there are reinforcements outside, which is the right principle of defending the city. If there are no reinforcements, the boss will even make up some facts to coax his subordinates, telling them that the reinforcements will definitely come, and it will be OK.

However, at this time, the commander of the Zhongtang Dynasty couldn't even tell a lie, because they guarded the city of Northern Qi, and they were thousands of miles away from their own land?

Therefore, although it was known who would move first and who would suffer, the Central Tang Army still began to go out of the city in a steady stream. Then they lined up under the city walls, and finally began to move forward. It's just that at this time, the Northern Qi began to retreat and stick to their camps, which is a clear posture of fearlessness.

This is thousands of miles away from the border of the Central Tang Dynasty, and if the Central Tang people do not defeat the main force of the Northern Qi Dynasty here, then it will be impossible to retreat home properly! However, the Central Tang Army feels that the withdrawal of the army to this Zuoliu City is definitely not a stupid move. And it's definitely a good move.

First of all, the army retreated thousands of miles, very tired, and only had a chance to rest when it arrived in Zuoliucheng, and it was raised for a few days at this time. It's kind of relieved.

Secondly, at this time, the decisive battle with the Northern Qi army with the back of Zuoliucheng is equivalent to Zuoliucheng becoming the military fortress of the Central Tang Army - in this way, there is no fear of stealing the camp at night. Harassment and other tricks, and at the same time, even if there is something wrong, withdraw back to Zuoliucheng. Defending the city is also a good opportunity to make a comeback.

Of course, the Northern Qi is even more advantageous, and can force the opponents in the city to come out to find themselves for a decisive battle, such a big advantage is taken advantage of, and at least this is also a plain nearby, which can give full play to the great advantage of the snake swallowing cavalry, not to mention anything else.

When the two armies were about to start a decisive battle, what was Lin Fengjin doing? He didn't do anything, and honestly stayed on the watchtower in the barracks and looked at the battle situation in the distance:

On this day, God is also beautiful, there are not even clouds in the sky, and the deep blue sky is directly exposed, the sun shines down very simply, and even the air is filled with a faint fresh smell.

At this time, it can be seen that the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty have come out in a row, forming four huge phalanxes, the left shield and the right knife, slowly moving towards the Northern Qi side, such a visual effect is really quite spectacular and shocking.

After the government soldiers put out such a formation, even the cavalry will never dare to rush straight, because in this case, the price paid is too great, if you want to train cavalry, first of all, you must have a horse, and secondly, you must have a person who is proficient in equestrianism, otherwise, how can you get on the horse and play with flowers and cut people?

And what about the sword and shield soldiers? It's good to choose tall and powerful, and what the army wants is not a master who can dance seven or eight swords, nor does it need a knife that can cut off the metamorphosis of the waterfall, that is, the two tricks of vertical and horizontal slashing, practice for six hours a day, and continue to practice for three months, and then listen to the veteran Youzi teach some positive experience, and you can easily pull into the battlefield.

If these two are combined, strictly speaking, the resources consumed by a cavalry are at least equal to supporting five sword and shield soldiers, that is, as long as the battle loss ratio of the two sides is less than five to one, then this battle sword and shield soldier can be accepted by the side.

There is also a very important thing, it is not that there are no cavalry in the Middle and Tang Dynasty! Not only does the Central Tang Dynasty have cavalry, but also the Hengbo general Tian Wu who rebelled this time also has elite cavalry under his command, and the strength is definitely not weak, but the reputation of the Snake Devouring Army is too loud, so it is just covered up.

At this time, Lin Fengjin had already seen that the elite soldiers of the Zhongtang Mansion were indeed worthy of their reputation, and they formed four huge phalanxes and pushed them over, and the pressure on people alone was very shocking. For the time being, even the cavalry should try to avoid rushing straight into such a neat formation.

However, what is even worse is that the opponent is a sword and shield soldier, so it is a sharp weapon to disrupt the opponent's formation, and the cavalry's projectile is almost ineffective.

If some cavalry had gotten a little closer, they would have known why the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could claim to be the elite of the world -- immediately there were specially trained spear throwers who came out to greet the cavalry, and they threw special short spears with iron heads and wooden handles, and the range of throwing them was close to 50 meters, and there was a strange whistle sound in the air, and the cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty immediately suffered a big loss, and after losing hundreds of cavalry in a row, they only dared to throw at a distance of 50 meters, and in this way, the power was even weaker.

Of course, these frictions and battles involving hundreds of dead and wounded people can really only be described as harmless for the large-scale collision of nearly 100,000 people on both sides at this time, and it is even equivalent to just bubbling up.

Even the four large squares sent out by Zhongtang at this time were only the front army, and the two sides still did not do their best at this time, repeatedly testing each other's flaws!

At this time, Lin Fengjin's eyes narrowed slightly, because at this time, the phalanx formed by the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty was already slowly approaching the outside of the camp of the Northern Qi Army!

This is where the government soldiers are metamorphosed, because they have a shield to protect their bodies, so their defense is only inferior to the armored ironclad army, but the agility and durability are completely explosive to the opponent, which can be said to be a rare and incomparably offensive and defensive class. (To be continued......)
