Chapter 637: Retreat as Advance

Under the blue sky, could it be that you have met a ghost?

What about people?

That's 60,000 horses!

Why can't you even see a corpse in the capital?

If you know the characteristics of the Five Elements Great Array, these strange scenes are actually very easy to explain.

Because the earth camp is not only sleek and heavy, but its ability to dig into the ground is also a must.

In addition to being tenacious, Muying's ability to lay a solid foundation and restore its original appearance is unmatched.

Therefore, when cleaning up the battlefield, the five battalions had a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.

The earth battalion was responsible for digging a long tunnel, the gold and fire battalions were responsible for transporting, burying the corpses, and filling the tunnel, the water battalion was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the wooden battalion was responsible for restoring the original appearance.

Kill, bury!

The practice of the anti-Qing rebel army was much stronger than that of the Qing army.

He is worthy of being a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

......

The corpse was disposed of so quickly, it was unimaginable, and it was indeed like disappearing into thin air.

So, what to do with the blood stains on the robes of the rebels?

This is much easier, prepare a set in advance and hide it in the dead corner of the formation. Once the battlefield is cleaned, you can change it.

Of course, the torn and soiled robes were also buried on the spot.

As for the wounded of the anti-Qing rebels, they were already on the way back to the camp for treatment at this time.

......

What about the thick white fog?

No one knows!

Except, of course, Su Gaofei.

Because except for the formation great master Su Gaofei, even Hua Feng had no way of knowing.

Because, this weird white mist is the key to the great power of the Five Elements Great Array, and naturally the fewer people who know it, the better.

Although Hua Feng was also curious, he never asked more.

Mystery can only be called mysterious if no one knows about it.

As long as it can be used by me and can kill the opponent, why bother to "break the casserole and ask the end?"

......

The scene that came into view made the onlookers except Hua Feng and Jiang Yaoyao all stunned and puzzled.

Hua Fengjun swept his eyes and knew that the loss was minimal. Compared with the 60,000 horses of the Qing army, it is completely negligible.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The Five Elements Great Array is so powerful!

Su Gaofei, the great master of the formation, really didn't disappoint me.

With this formation, the defeat of the Qing army is just around the corner!

......

A few are happy and a few are sad.

Some people rejoice and some people worry.

Unlike Hua Feng's spring breeze, Li Chengdong frowned.

The horror in my heart is unprecedented!

Because, this scene made him extremely surprised.

He has been in the army for decades and has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, but he has never had such a strange scene.

Could it be that someone on the other side will make a demon law?

But why have you never heard of such rumors?

What is this array, and how can it be so powerful?

60,000 horses!

Even if they all submerge into the sea, there will be some changes, right?

......

The anti-Qing rebel army has this array to rely on, how should our army resist the enemy?

Tear up the agreement and bombard it with artillery?

In this way, although this array can be broken, I am afraid that Ben Shuai's head will also be forced to move. Moreover, the speed of revenge must be amazingly fast, and the means of revenge must be extremely ferocious!

Therefore, this path is not feasible.

......

Don't give it time to set up a formation, and as soon as they meet, they will rush to kill it with a large army?

This may be allowed.

After all, judging from today's battle, although its formation is extremely fast, it will always take time.

Just hit this time difference!

Leave aside the truce for the time being, and wait until we think of a feasible way to break the enemy, and then attack.

After thinking about it, Li Chengdong rode out and shouted: "This array is really very powerful! Li is reckless and dull, and it is difficult to crack it for a while. Let's go back to the camp and think about it, and fight again in the future!"

......

As soon as these words came out, many stunned people were immediately awakened.

Hua Feng responded loudly, and secretly appreciated on the other hand: This person is worthy of being the commander of the first army! After experiencing such an earth-shattering change, he is still so calm and composed. Moreover, act above board and never deceive yourself.

Objectively speaking, Li Chengdong's response in this way is really the best strategy.

Since you don't know this formation, then admit defeat for the time being, why waste the lives of the soldiers?

Be honest and sincere, and you will also win respect!

Including respect from opponents.

"Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. ”

The reason why Li Chengdong has such prestige in the Qing army is that his frank style is also one of the factors.

Because of the military, most of them like to go straight when they talk and do things, and rarely beat around the bush. I have always disliked those who are duplicitous and secretive.

He hated those who ignored the lives and sufferings of his subordinates.

......

Li Chengdong's remarks are not only to find a step for himself to strike the war, but also has another meaning: that is, to advance by retreating.

After seeing the power of the Five Elements Great Array, the shock in his heart was incomparable.

He knew very well that the words of "going back to the camp to think carefully and fighting again in the coming day" were just prevarications.

Because of this, even if he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, he still had no clue. If you want to break it in a short time, it's tantamount to a fantasy!

So he had a lot of experience, and he got a plan in an instant: to retreat as advance, delay and delay, let him run out of food, force him to give up resistance, and take the initiative to withdraw.

......

After returning to the camp, Li Chengdong immediately issued two orders.

One of the commands: Hold on to the grain and grass.

The left army, with 100,000 horses and 100 artillery pieces, immediately went to the place where the grain and grass were placed to strengthen the guard, and there was no room for failure.

Otherwise, military justice will be punished!

Order 2: Hang up the battle-free card.

From now on, a free battle card was hung at the gate of the camp, and no matter how the enemy called for battle, it turned a deaf ear, saying only that the commander was thinking about a strategy to break the formation.

Li is not allowed to order it personally, and no one is allowed to fight privately.

Violators, behead!

In a very short period of time after the shock, Li Chengdong had a countermeasure. Moreover, this policy is also extremely suitable, firmly holding the life of the anti-Qing rebel army.

He is really eloquent!

......

At this time, although most of the world was pacified by the Qing court, there were still some forces like Hua Feng and others, who were still struggling to resist.

The Qing army was overwhelmed and engaged in fierce battles with the three forces at the same time.

First, the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Yongli Emperor's lineage, the remaining most powerful person is Hua Feng's anti-Qing rebel army.

Second, the peasant rebel army.

Due to the compulsion of life, peasant uprisings occurred frequently, and it can be said that there were smoke in all directions.

However, they have no ambitions, and only take solving the problem of food and clothing as their greatest pursuit.

The relatively powerful forces are mainly concentrated in the southwest region. Among them, the city lord of Kunming Mansion and the city lord of Shilin Mansion were secretly supported by the Liu family in Kunming, the "Feitian Gang" and the Meng family in Shilin, respectively, and the Qing army was fighting very fiercely.

Third, foreign invasion.

The main reason is that the Japanese who have been eyeing the Central Plains have been eyeing each other, and they have never died of selflessness, and they have brazenly launched a war of aggression while the Qing army is still unstable.

However, although there are both internal and external troubles, for the powerful Qing army, they are just grasshoppers shaking trees.

It is only a matter of time before it is exterminated.
