Lu Xiong is a veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles, he is good at fighting soldiers, and he doesn't like to use tactics, not because he is not interested in strategy, but because he knows that in the war, there are not so many scheming, they are all swords and guns, which are spelled out by the soldiers with flesh and blood.

The general looked at Lu Xiong in silence and said: "Old general, just like Your Majesty's meaning, there is no shortcut to recapture Bishui Pass, siege warfare has been like this since ancient times, and there are not many people who take corpses to pad the wall, except to fight for their lives, there is no other way." ”

Lu Xiong nodded expressionlessly, walked to the front of the formation in three or two steps, and the soldiers immediately quieted down.

Since the encampment in Tongguan, after the general and the soldiers were completely and clearly differentiated, although the main general could not be loved and supported by the soldiers, and could not be a brother, his majesty had improved a lot.

Especially for these soldiers from humble backgrounds, the farther away and mysterious the generals are from them, the more fearful they are in their hearts, and naturally the more obedient they are.

Lu Xiong was silent for a while, and he immediately understood that this was the last thing that King Xuan handed over to him.

If there is no strategy to use, you can only force the attack, and the requirements for the soldiers are very high.

And after this army of soldiers and horses has been harshly criticized all the way, they can barely adapt to the cruel battlefield, have a clear goal of desperateness, and fear the general and can listen to the command.

Such an army .... I fit it just right.

Lu Xiong was immediately shocked, in this way, Dou Rong's burning pass is also in the calculation of the king of Xu?

For a while, Lu Xiong was a little stunned.

He did not speak, nor did the soldiers, all of them armoured, their swords unsheathed, and their spears raised.

In the silence, a chilling murderous aura permeated, and if ordinary people were again, their scalps would inevitably be numb and cold sweat would break out.

Lu Xiong came back to his senses, he really saw the transformation of this army, maybe they were not veterans of a hundred battles, they couldn't give people much security, they couldn't deliver their backs, and they couldn't completely point to them on the westward expedition.

But they are already a usable force.

However, after a long time, Lu Xiongdian sent troops, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses in the camp to garrison, and the rest marched to the front of Bishui Pass, lined up in formation, quietly waiting for the drums of the official attack.

August has passed, autumn has begun, the weather is getting colder and colder, the army is lined up in front of the Bishui Pass one phalanx after another, from a distance it looks dense, the specific combat effectiveness can be exerted is not mentioned for the time being, but the discipline is good, very obedient to the command.

Lu Xiong was preparing to attack, suddenly a chaotic sound of horses' hooves came, and after a while, a herald fell in front of him, out of breath, and said: "General, the last general has probed the news of the remnants of Bishui Pass, the remnants of Bishui Pass were intercepted by Lei Zhenzi's department when escorting the people of Guanzhong away, the other party's soldiers and horses are unknown, they were defeated and retreated, there have been more than 1,000 casualties, and the rest of the people were driven to the mountain, Lei Zhenzi led the troops to surround it, only afraid of ....."

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Xiong worried.

The herald arched his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "If there is no support, I am afraid that it will be completely wiped out in a few days!"

Lu Xiong was silent again, without a trace of blood on his face.

This is something that has been expected for a long time, and even the news that the herald is now revealing is most likely deliberately released by Lei Zhenzi, still to let him divide his troops to rescue.

But... Can't be saved.

Even if no one survives in the water, it still can't be saved.

Dou Rong is worthy of admiration, and the soldiers in Guanzhong are also worthy of admiration, but behind him is the entire big businessman.

A general stepped forward immediately and reminded: "Old general, it's time to tackle the problem." ”

Lu Xiong nodded, waved his hand to let the herald go down, and the herald looked struggling, and finally accepted this fact.

Lu Xiong turned his head and waved to the drummer behind him, and the drummer gave the order, and with a roar and a deafening drum, there were bursts of angry shouts from the large army array, and then the whole army entered a wartime state.

"Kill!"

.......

After two days of continuous fighting, the progress of capturing Bishui Pass was not smooth.

Lu Xiong wanted to fight and let the Zhou army go out of the field battle, as long as the two armies intersected in the plains, he was fully sure that he could win, so that he could take advantage of the situation to recapture the Bishui Pass.

But Nangong Shi and Dou Rong have been fighting for a long time, and they have learned Dou Rong's vigilance, and the Zhou army also knows the importance of Bishui Pass, so they fought hard to defend it, not only did not go out of the pass, but also played twelve points of caution.

During this period, Lu Xiong sent people to provoke many times, and even sent generals to call for war, and all kinds of unbearable words were scolded, but Nangong Shi was not shaken in the slightest, and Zhou Jun still ignored it, let it be provoked, and did not even go out of the customs to harass.

Helpless, Lu Xiong had to forcibly climb the wall, the two armies on the wall were in a posture of exchanging their lives for their lives, if they wanted me to die, you should not be happy, two days of tackling the fortifications, Lu Xiong has used all methods, and still failed to recapture Bishui Pass.

The two sides have come and gone, all with all their strength, no conspiracy, no hands, only rivers of blood.

Time flies between you attacking and defending.

After Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya's army received the news of breaking through Bishui Pass, they marched eastward, and in another half a month, they arrived at Bishui Pass.

Han Sheng, Han Bian, Xiaoliu and other remnants of Bishui Pass, who were besieged by Lei Zhenzi's troops, also reached the point of exhaustion.

And just when Lu Xiong was about to attack again, Zi Shou sent a herald to Lu Xiong's battalion and issued a holy decree, asking Lu Xiong to give up Bishui Pass, retreat to Chuanyun Pass, and divide troops to rescue the remnants of Bishui Pass and repel Lei Zhenzi.

Lu Xiong was stunned at that time, about three or five days, he would be able to recapture Bishui Pass, and then take the initiative, and even Shi Bufan and Gao Jineng, who divided the troops, would also arrive, and the three parties would encircle the army of Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya.

But now he suddenly said that he would withdraw his troops, and he would divide his troops to rescue the remnants of Bishui Pass?

The wise king of his life, why did he make such a stupid move?

What the hell is going on?

Is it because of the unstable mentality of not being able to attack for a long time, or is the old problem of the woman's benevolence committed again, and she does not hesitate to attack and defend against the trend to rescue the remnants of Bishui Pass?

Before, Lu Xiong wanted to listen to King Xu's strategy, because the two armies had not officially fought, and the battle situation had not changed much, but the two armies were officially fighting, and they had been attacking for a long time, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, and when to attack and when to retreat could only be decided by the commander.

Even if the king always pays attention to the battlefield, it is separated by a distance of hundreds of miles, how can he know the situation on the front line well, but the king of the ring has made such a mediocre holy decree, I have to say that in Lu Xiong's opinion, this will is very wrong.

For the first time, Lu Xiong ignored the holy decree and continued to tackle the problem.

The next day, however, it was another decree.

This time, the decree was more detailed, the withdrawal route was arranged, the division of troops was deployed, and the details were made clear in which corner and direction the fire oil for burning the camp was placed during the withdrawal.

Lu Xiong felt that judging from the current situation, there would be no accidents in retaking Bishui Pass, and there was no sign of any danger, the only regret was that the remnants of Bishui Pass had to be annihilated by Lei Zhenzi.

But it's not a big problem, it's a big deal to turn around and annihilate Lei Zhenzi's department when the time comes, revenge is, if Your Majesty feels that he owes something to the soldiers of Bishui Pass, a thick burial is.

Therefore, Lu Xiong continued to resist the decree.
