In the pioneer battalion, Chu Hong, who had already changed his uniform, took out a bucket of water from the well, and began to wash away the blood stains on the armor and the minced meat stuck in the cracks of the armor at the edge of the well. The ground was littered with minced flesh and diluted blood, and a disgusting stench wafted through.

Chu Hong was cleaning as if no one was around, and his mouth was blowing the tune of his hometown that only he could understand.

"Brother Chu, what kind of tune are you playing?" the sentry named Liuzi came over and asked while taking the work in Chu Hong's hand with a smile.

"Oh, my parent's tune, you don't understand!"

"Brother Chu, I heard them all say that you grew up in the barracks!

"Oh, boy, I can tell you, I lived to be in my twenties in my hometown! I don't know how, but I'm eight or nine-year-old! Don't look at me I'm only eighteen now, I'm almost forty when I count. "I told the truth to Liuzi seriously.

"Hehe, Brother Chu is bragging again! How can people still be rejuvenated? You are not a god flying in the sky. Rokuko smirked incredulously and continued to rub his clothes.

"Do you know what a university is? Do you know what calculus is? Do you know what physics is? Do you know how to make an iron shell fly into the sky?"

I asked several questions that Liuzi had never heard of, but Liuzi ignored them and continued to rub his clothes with a smirk.

"Brother Chu, will you let me enter your pioneer camp?" the sixth son finally showed his little fox tail.

"No, you're young. Let's wait a few years. ”

When the sixth son heard this, he directly threw his clothes into the basin.

"You've always said I'm young, and I've inquired about it all. You entered the pioneer camp at the age of twelve, and I was four years older than you, so why can't you? You just look down on me! I won't wash you, wash it myself. ”

"Okay, okay, tomorrow you go to them for assessment, and then I'll let you in!" Chu Hong heard that this stupid boy had a temper, so he hurriedly pulled him back, and promised with his mouth.

"Really, you mean what you say?"

"Count, count. You wash my clothes first. ”

"Don't worry, I'll wash you clean. Go and rest!" The silly boy sat down happily and continued to scrub his clothes.

。。。。。。

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Luo Shihong sat on the handsome chair in the center, and there were generals at all levels standing on both sides. Chu Hong was last on the left, rubbing his nails with a broken sword boredly.

"Everyone, just now the spies came to report that Xiliang Kingdom raised 100,000 troops this time. The 10,000 forward army is already approaching our army 30 miles away, the 60,000 Chinese army is still 50 miles away from our army, and the 30,000 rear army escorting grain and grass is less than 100 miles. We only have 50,000 defenders here, so what can you do?"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion among the generals, but they just couldn't come up with an effective idea.

After half an hour, the discussion did not stop.

Luo Shihong, who watched it, was extremely angry. Meng slapped the table,

"A group of reckless men who know how to fight and kill, fight and fight, the difference in numbers is more than doubled, have you ever beaten it?"

Suddenly, he saw Chu Hong, who was leaning on the wooden stake and rubbing his nails, and suddenly became angry.

"Chu Hong, don't poke it there, it's just that you have a lot of ideas, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yes, yes, General Xiao Chu. Do you have any good ideas, tell me about it!" The big bosses also knew that Luo Shihong was extremely optimistic about this unobtrusive Chu Hong, and they also suggested that he talk about it at this moment.

"Simple, 30,000 troops are pressing grain and grass, and the other party must want to finish their work in one battle, and they are still a hundred miles away, eighty miles away from here, which is the Tuo River. The Tuo River has a rapid flow and a wide water surface. Then the grain and grass will definitely be piled up on the other side of the river. As long as we destroy their grain and grass, the other side will lose. ”

"However, you also said that the other side has an army of 30,000 to guard the grain and grass, and we have such a small number of people, and if we go to more of their Chinese army to return to the division to help, it will not work, and we can't beat their 30,000 army!" a general asked.

"That's why you have to outwit me, give me 2,000 men, and my 600 pioneer battalion, and equip me with horses and torches. The horse's hooves were shrouded, and the horse's mouth was covered with chews, and I sneaked up all night. Luo Shuai will hang up the exemption card tomorrow morning and eat an hour early at noon. At noon, we will strike while they are cooking in the pot, and we will create chaos in the rear. The enemy army is bound to be chaotic, and we will win this battle. Chu Hong said his plan firmly.

By the way, our soldiers will change into enemy uniforms and charge into battle disguised as rebels. At that time, I will have everyone put a strip of red cloth on their left arm to distinguish between friend and foe. Remember to command your men. Don't kill the red eyes, even my people will be killed.

As soon as Luo Shihong heard Chu Hong's strategy, he immediately pulled him to the map to study the feasibility carefully.

"Tell me more!"

"Luo Shuai, come and see, this is the Tuo River, according to the marching speed of the rear army of the Xiliang Kingdom, it will be in the Shawazi area as soon as tonight, and this is the most suitable place for the army to be stationed and cross the river.

But there were reeds everywhere, and even if they cleared a piece out, it wouldn't help. All we need to do is set fire to the surrounding reeds, and then send 500 people with good water properties to take advantage of the chaos and set fire to the grain and grass. Then the enemy will be chaotic.

At that time, our 2,000 cavalry will rush at night, and force the enemy to shrink as far as possible to the river, and at that time, I will lead those 500 men to escape by jumping into the river. There is little water in Xiliang Country, and there must not be many good water properties. As long as you follow us into the river, there will hardly be any good fruit to eat.

Then, I will directly lead people to flee back to the camp as an army, and when you attack, shout that the grain and grass in the rear and the army have been lost, and create chaos. At that time, our army only needs to ambush a cavalry army here, and rush into battle, and the enemy army will inevitably break and flee. Chu Hong pointed to the last ambush site and finished in one breath.

"Liulianbao?" Luo Shihong asked with some confusion.

"That's right, it's six packs.

If I were the enemy manager. It's inevitable to want to regroup, and the Six Consecutive Pack is the best place to defend and attack. They must retreat here, and if they ambush 3,000 men and horses, led by a brave general, they will surely be able to defeat them. ”

"Okay, just do as you say!" Luo Shihong is also decisive.

"The Generals Obey the Command:"

"Whoa!"

"Zhun Chu Hong led the six hundred vanguard battalions and Sun Dapan's cavalry to march all night, and launched an attack tonight, and everything was decided by Chu Hong. ”

"Wow!" Chu Hong and Sun Dapan left the camp after receiving the order and prepared to go.

came out of the big account, Sun Dapan said with a smile, "Commander, I can finally follow you to fight side by side again." ”

Chu Hong glanced at Sun Dapan, this guy was the first batch of centurions to go out from him, and now he is now the general who commands two thousand people.

"Da Pan, don't be hippie and smiley, this mission is very dangerous, and I don't know how many people will come back alive. You have to pay attention to safety yourself, I have sent too many people away over the years, and there are fewer and fewer old brothers, and I don't want to add more. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll be careful. ”

"Okay, go back and get ready, be careful, be sure to put a thick cloth on the horse's hooves, and bring chews. ”

"Chenghao, you can rest assured!"

Pioneer Battalion

"All assemble!" Chu Hong shouted on the school field now, thirty breaths, everyone is ready. Standing silently on the school grounds,

"Everyone is now preparing a set of Xiliang military uniforms, with a red ribbon tied around the left arm. The mouth is tied to the bamboo, the horse is wrapped in hooves, it is dark to set off, go back and prepare!"

Everyone dispersed silently again and began to prepare. There was no extra sound during the whole process.

Tuo River, the junction of Zhao and Xiliang. At this time, on the opposite side of the Tuo River in the territory of Xiliang Kingdom, the Xiliang army set up a large camp on the other side of the river. At this time, the 2,600 people led by Chu Hong had quietly crossed the Tuohe River from the upper reaches of the Niumangou generation. At this time, Chu Hong asked Sun Dapan to lead two thousand cavalry to hide behind, and he first led the soldiers of the six hundred pioneer battalions into the reeds near Shawozi.

It was probably because the army arrived relatively late, and at this time many trucks of grain and grass had not yet been unloaded, and in addition to the reeds in the main camp area that were simply burned by fire, there were still many reeds on the periphery that had not had time to be eradicated. There were even herds of cattle and horses that were used to pull grain and grass in the reeds to eat dried leaves to satisfy their hunger.

The whole camp was full of people, and it seemed that it was just time to make food. Chu Hong looked at the sky and estimated that there was still some distance between the ions. After signaling the pioneer camp to disperse, he temporarily lay down in the reeds to rest.

Slowly, the camp in Xiliang began to quiet down. The snoring can be heard clearly from afar.

The commander of the army in the Xiliang camp in front

Yelu Hongjiang, the marshal of Xiliang, did not sleep, but always felt a little uneasy. He has been in the army for more than 20 years, and he vaguely felt that something would happen, so he simply got up and walked out of the handsome account with a big banner. Begin to inspect the camp so as not to make any mistakes. This is also a cautious habit that he has cultivated in the army for more than 20 years.

"Dashuai, why don't you sleep at such a late hour?" General Xiaoyong heard that the guards said that the marshal was patrolling the camp, and he also got up from the military tent.

"Oh, it's Wanyan! It's okay, I can't sleep, let's see if there's anything wrong. Yelu Hongjiang saw that it was Wan Yantuo, the number one fierce general under him, and said with a smile.

"Alas, what can be wrong? This time, we have exhausted 100,000 troops in the country, and there are only 50,000 on the other side. It is more than twice the size of their Zhao Kingdom. No matter how powerful Luo Shihong is, I can take his head tomorrow. When the time comes, we will directly enter the Kyoto of his Zhao State and capture the Emperor of Zhao State alive. Let them pay tribute every year, and be vassals every year. Wan Yan Tuo said proudly.

"Don't be taken lightly, Luo Shihong is known for being good at guarding and is not so easy to deal with. And it's very good at seizing fighters, so you have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, tomorrow I will meet that Luo Shihong!"

"I read the battle report, a few days ago, a team of 1,000 rangers disappeared, have you ever found it?"

"Yes, I found it, it was a team of 1,000 rangers in Zhangcheng, who had been killed fifty miles west of here, and not a single one of them survived. And the other party did not leave a single corpse, it is likely that the ghost rode it. Wan Yantuo heard Yelu Hongjiang ask, and said a little depressed.

"Anyway, what is the origin of this ghost ride? Over the years, tens of thousands of our Xiliang riders have been killed intermittently, and no one is left alive every time. Has anyone found out who is in the lead?"

"The identity of the other party is very hidden, but it is said that he is a general under the command of Luo Shihong on the other side, but there is no evidence, and I don't even know what he looks like.

But don't worry, no matter who it is, tomorrow we will kill 70,000 iron horsemen, and we will kill all of them. Forgive them, those foot soldiers of Zhao State can't stop our iron army. Wan Yantuo patted his chest and said confidently.
