Chapter 263: The Flames of War are born in the West

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings seemed to stop, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

Princess Xining is really strong, she actually called the nickname of the lord of the country, and her tone was so fierce, this is a big crime committed below!

This is not surprising, Su Yanyue and Su Muxin are twin brothers and sisters, and they have had a very good relationship since childhood. Even today, Su Muxin still dotes on his sister very much.

Therefore, Su Muxin didn't mind Su Yanyue at all, he said: "Either give me a good return to the palace, or agree to this condition, you choose." ”

Su Yanyue jumped off the horse and said unwillingly: "Isn't it just obedient! ”

Su Muxin glanced at her angrily, turned around and said, "Whisper, I'm sorry for you to take care of her." ”

Hua Qingyu likes Su Yanyue's character very much, there is no princess problem, and there is no arrangement.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of her," she said. ”

Su Muxin nodded, rode a sweaty horse, and gave an order, and the whole army drove to Muling City.

In just over an hour, they had already arrived outside the gate of Muling City.

At this time, Muling City was full of broken ruins, the city gate was smashed to pieces, and the walls were black one by one, as if they were attacked by fireballs.

On the battlement, there was still a trace of blood, and when I walked in, it was extremely bright red.

Muling City is a small city, there is no moat and urn city, Su Muxin saw debris on the ground along the way, there are broken flagpoles, shields divided in two, and some broken armor, clothing fragments, etc.

The pioneer battalion left a part of the men to clean up the battlefield and stationed them by the way, waiting for the arrival of the middle route army.

Su Muxin approached Muling City with people, only to see that none of the people went out, and every household was closed, for fear of suffering.

Greeted by a lieutenant left behind in the pioneer battalion, the Central Route Army crossed Muling City and walked towards another city gate.

At this moment, a person came over on a fast horse, "Report~"

He came to Su Muxin, jumped off the war horse and saluted on one knee, and said: "Report to the lord of the country, the pioneer battalion has captured Jiahe City, and the pioneer battalion is resting in the city, waiting for the lord of the country to lead the army to converge." ”

Su Muxin was secretly happy and said, "Okay, go to Jiahe City in one go." ”

The army in the middle set off again.

In the next few days, the army of the middle route was invincible, and successively recovered several small cities of Tuocheng, Fuding City, and Tanshan City, and the conquest went surprisingly smoothly without too many obstacles.

Just when the morale was high, Shen Shifang had a bitter face, and a pair of sword eyebrows couldn't stretch out.

Now the Middle Route Army has set up a camp in front of the last small city, intending to clear the last barrier of Xique City.

Just as they were arguing with great interest in the tent about who would lead the troops to attack the city, Su Muxin noticed Shen Shifang's demeanor.

"What do you think?" Su Muxin asked, "Do you want Xuan Yi to lead the troops?"

The generals of the Middle Route Army were puzzled that the lord of the country was not asking about the people of the Middle Route Army, but about this person who was known as the "military advisor" but had never made a plan.

Until now, some people think that this young and unseemly man has no ability at all, but can only flatter, get the respect of the lord of the country, and give him the position of military advisor.

Among these people, including Xue Feixian, who had seen Shen Shifang when he first sent out the army.

Shen Shifang didn't care about their disdainful attitude, he said in a deep voice: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, the battle of the five cities is too smooth, and the rebels don't even have the heart to resist again, which makes me feel very strange." ”

Xue Feixian said: "Military advisor, don't disturb the morale of the army. The reason why it went smoothly was that the divine might of the righteous division of my Xiyun Kingdom scared them out. ”

The other generals of the Middle Route Army also agreed with Xue Feixian's words, and refuted Shen Shifang one by one.

One of the cavalry captains said: "They know that they don't have the strength to fight, and retreating to Xique City is the best strategy. ”

Shen Shifang said: "Maybe what you said also has some truth. can

Yes, judging from the surrounding terrain, it is not a good strategy to retreat to Xique City.

If I were to defend, I would have to put heavy troops in three of the six cities, and the other three would be confused with false soldiers. False and real, true and false, so that the enemy cannot distinguish clearly.

These six cities are geographically located in a range of arrows, and if any of them is attacked, nearby cities can come to their aid at any time. In this way, the enemy will surely suffer heavy losses when he comes to attack, and the odds of victory are self-evident.

Also, it's like fighting Jiahe City, the next Tuocheng and Fuding City can send two strange troops to move to the two wings outside Jiahe City, impact our middle route army, and then cooperate with the defenders in Jiahe City, I dare not say that we can completely annihilate the middle route army, but it will also be heavily damaged.

In addition, as long as we send another thousand cavalry to sneak attack our grain and grass, we will already get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Shen Shifang was right, according to the map show, these six cities formed a corner of each other, and no matter where they were attacked, they could be reinforced in a short time.

But this time the middle route army was conscripted, and the rebels didn't even defend their own city, so they fought for a while, and then fled to Xique City in panic.

A "talk on paper" has also made many people's eyes shine, even if it is really empty talk, it is still true.

But Su Muxin was different, from beginning to end he denied that Shen Shifang had real materials, he said: "In this way, it's fortunate that they didn't do what you said, otherwise wouldn't we have fallen into danger several times?"

Shen Shifang shook his head and said, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one dares to say that they will win on the battlefield. All I can say is that if they dare to come, there will be a plan to deal with it. ”

Lian Kongling said: "According to your speculation, they have missed the opportunity!"

Shen Shifang said in a deep voice: "No, on the contrary, they want to preserve their strength. ”

As the words fell, Shen Shifang used a wooden stick to move around the current small city on the map, and he said: "Yingzhou City is backed by mountains, with forests on the left and right, and the front is our current location, which is the terrain of the plains.

Such terrain is very unfavorable for us, and there is a high probability of sneak attack. ”

Su Muxin pointed his finger and said in shock: "Woods! These two woods are enough to hide tens of thousands of people. ”

Shen Shifang became more and more calm the more critical, and he said: "That's right, if it is as I expected, there are two reasons why they did not choose to defend the previous cities.

First, they are all small cities, and the fortifications are not strong enough to hold them at all, so they temporarily avoid the edge.

The second is because they have set a trap in this Yingzhou city, just waiting for us to enter.

Suppose we attack Yingzhou City, and there are tens of thousands of iron horsemen in the woods to attack us. Cavalry is an infantry killer in the plains, enough to crush 30,000 soldiers.

This is where the terrain is not in our favor, followed by the enemy and the enemy. ”

Su Muxin said: "Then how to deal with it?"

Shen Shifang pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately send scouts to investigate whether there are heavy soldiers in ambush in the woods on both sides?" Remember, you must not let people find out, otherwise you will not be able to sing in the next scene." ”

After Shen Shifang finished speaking, none of the generals and captains of the Middle Route Army took action, they just stared at each other and hesitated.

They are not convinced.

Although Shen Shifang said that he was the Tao, he still had a little suspicion, suspecting that he was pretending.

The rebel's commander is also a battle-hardened veteran, and his strategy will make you guess so easily?

It was precisely this kind of skeptical attitude that existed, so they did not listen to Shen Shifang's orders.

Seeing this, Su Mu had a cold face and said in a cold voice: "I said earlier that what the military advisor said is my words. If it weren't for the great enemy, none of you would be able to escape. Now, aren't you going to carry out the military order?"

In the last sentence, Su Muxin almost roared.

The generals shivered and lowered their heads one by one.

There was only one person, and he said, "This will be the last arrangement." ”

This person is Xuan Yi.

Shen Shifang said: "Find someone who is smart." ”

Xuan Yi smiled: "Please rest assured." ”

With that, he walked out.

Shen Shifang thought for a moment and glanced at Lian Kongling and Zhang Qiao.

Lian Kongling nodded imperceptibly, and quietly went out of the handsome tent with Zhang Apology.

Shen Shifang said again: "How are the siege vehicles prepared?"

Xue Fei replied: "It has been built, and it is being transported from Tanshan City, and it will arrive in half a day." ”

Shen Shifang rubbed his earlobes, and then said, "Xiao Yang, go find a shield that is one person high on three sides." ”

Xiao Yang didn't know what Shen Shifang wanted a shield for, but he still scratched his head and walked out to look for it.

"Why do you want a shield?" Su Muxin asked, "Could it be that you ......?"

"You'll know then. Shen Shifang said to Xue Feixian again: "Is there any damage to the catapult of the pioneer camp?"

Xue Feixian said: "Of the five catapults in the Pioneer Battalion, one has been broken. ”

Shen Shifang nodded, but he didn't say anything, and looked at the map by himself, as if he was selling Guanzi.

Subsequently, Xiao Yang came back with three shields.

He lay heavily on the ground, and in an instant the handsome tent was dusty, and it was obvious that the weight of the shield was not ordinary.

"Is this the case?" Xiao Yang said, "I almost didn't break my waist." ”

Shen Shifang walked over and erected the three shields, which could protect the shape of the left and right sides and the front, "Deputy Commander Xue, let people make three shields like this overnight." Before dawn tomorrow, the finished product must be seen. ”

Xue Feixian was puzzled, what was the use of doing such a thing? Like a turtle, he could only defend and not attack.

Now it's a siege!

He said, "What's the use of making this thing? Besides, a blacksmith in the army may not be able to do it!"

Su Muxin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You just have to obey, no matter what method you use, you have to cast it." ”

Xue Fei replied listlessly: "Yes, the last general will obey the order." ”

This is a bit insincere.

Shen Shifang said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Xue, I have my own usefulness for these, please be sure to do a good job." As for the fear that it won't be minted, that's not a problem. ”

After that, he said to Xiao Yang, "Go and call your sister Situ and a few people." ”

Xiao Yang's face collapsed, and he muttered, "I just came back and want to go out again." ”

Shen Shifang kicked him in the ass angrily and said, "What are you grinding? ”

This guy is getting lazier and lazier.

A moment later, Situ Jie led the three girls into the handsome tent, and this place was a unique scene for a moment. It's like three beautiful flowers suddenly growing in a field covered with green lawns.

"I've seen Princess Xining. ”

The generals saluted.

Su Yanyue has been whispering to a few girls with Hua every day these days, listening to them talk about some deeds along the way, and the deeds of the eight people along the way.

This made her very envious, shouting that the rivers and lakes were so comfortable all day long, and she wanted to go out once.

However, every time she has this kind of thought, Su Muxin will be a slap in the face, so that she can't even think about it!

Su Yanyue said solemnly: "You guys are busy with you, don't worry about me, I'm just here to join in the fun." Yes, join in the fun. ”

Su Yanyue smiled and rummaged left and right in the handsome tent, trying to find something to do, so as not to trouble Su Muxin for her.

Su Muxin didn't have time to deal with her.

Shen Shifang introduced: "This is Situ Jie, the daughter of the Treasure Casting Garden. Her family's treasure casting technique is known as nothing that cannot be cast. If you don't understand these three shields, you can ask her for some advice. ”

"What? She is Situ Jie, the 'talented girl' of the Treasure Casting Garden?" exclaimed a school captain.

"You're wrong! It's a talented woman from Nanliu Kingdom. ”
