"Mr. Mizukawa has already left, why haven't you left with them?"

With a turn of her eyes, Xiao Feng saw the four people standing next to her, who were the "Loyal and Brave Four Generals" she met in Xingyuan Mansion back then.

Compared with the sharpness of the fledgling back then, the appearance of the four of them is much older at this moment, and their momentum is also covered with a sense of decadence. These four people, even the youngest Wu Qing, are already in their prime.

"It was Mr. Mizukawa's orders. Jiang Li hesitated: "He said that this is the time to employ people here, so he asked a few of us to help here and support some time." He looked at the heroic young woman in front of him, how could she still have the naughty and lively appearance of the past?

"Then thank you for your help!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but be a little happy.

In the past, she and these people were also able to fight side by side, and they were also familiar with the martial arts, personality and ability of several people, and the other party was a strong general under the command of Meng Xianggong's loyal and brave army, and he had quite rich combat experience, and now he came to make up for the shortcomings of the middle-level officers lacking in the Red Phoenix Army.

There is no way, the accumulation of Chifengjun is too thin after all, Zhao Chen is too old and has limited talents, and Zhang Shijie and Wang Yunde are too young and inexperienced.

It's okay when the number of people is small, but if the number of people is large, then there will be all kinds of problems.

A few people came over, but it was timely!

Jiang Li knew this, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "It's just that our strength is not good, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to enter the eyes of Commander Xiao." ”

"No problem. With your strength, it is more than enough to deal with the people under my command. Xiao Feng smiled happily: "And when my Red Phoenix Army was first established, both generals and soldiers underestimated the preparation for war, and there were flaws in many aspects. So now I ask the list to help find out, I don't know how many people can do it?"

Jiang Li was a little sluggish, and replied vaguely: "You should be like this!"

In the face of Xiao Feng, who was completely different from before, he already felt strange, not as sincere as before, but exuding a domineering, could it be said that this is the price of growth? At this moment, Wang Yunde, Zhao Chen, Ma Yundong, Jin Meng and others came from a distance, Xiao Feng saw them coming, the corners of his mouth provoked a smile, and he called several people to introduce them one by one.

Jiang Li and the others were naturally embarrassed, and they also returned the salute one by one.

After the greetings between the two sides were over, Zhao Chen said: "Lord, the spies just came to report that the other party began to retreat, as if they were leaving here. Do we need to take advantage of the victory at this time?"

"No need!" Xiao Feng replied: "The enemy army is huge, and if you rush to pursue, you are afraid that you will fall into the enemy's tricks." You must know that most of the opponents are cavalry, and this is not the Northland, but an endless plain. The mountains and ravines were not a place where the cavalry could play a role. It is precisely because of this that it was difficult for the other party to support in a short period of time before, so we could only shoot 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with us. Otherwise, we will be completely taken away by the opponent's wave of cavalry. At this time, the other side is just temporarily retreating, regrouping for the next battle. ”

Everyone came to their senses, and then they understood why Xiao Feng immediately waved his troops north to seize Qinzhou City when he noticed the other party's movements, and hoarded most of his troops here.

The reason for this is that Qinzhou is the shortest path for Taiyuan Prefecture to enter Luzhou, and it is surrounded by mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to large-scale concentration of troops. Once this Qinzhou is captured by the enemy, then you can take this opportunity to step into Luzhou, and the hilly area of Luzhou is really lacking in a dangerous pass that can block the other party.

Otherwise, why would Xiao Feng be desperate to fight the other party here?

It's really because she can't bear the danger of losing Qinzhou at all!

"Father, are we going to be stationed here?"

Looking at the desolate field in front of him, Zhong Wei asked.

Monk He bowed his head slightly and said, "That's right." The terrain of Nawu Township is narrow and resembles a long strip, and the two sides are full of continuous mountains, which is difficult to defend. Although it can use the water of Wuxiang to transport grain, it is extremely vulnerable to attack and is not a long-term garrison area. So the only way to withdraw the army is to come to this elm society to reorganize. ”

After waking up, he checked the place where the army was stationed, and immediately ordered a retreat to the place where everyone was at the moment.

And look at this place, it is a high hill wall, the radius is more than 100 zhang, because no one lives so it seems extremely desolate, less than a mile away from this place, it is the place where the turbidity Zhang River and the Yichuan River meet, the river is not only a good place to get water, the whole Yuantai is surrounded by mountains, it is a good place to garrison the army!

Standing on the side, Miao Shan suddenly laughed loudly, and only after everyone looked at him in surprise did he say: "The marshal is really talented, and he actually chose here." Now that I think about it, the marshal should have been blessed by providence. Look at the peaks in the distance......"

Monk He looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised: "You mean that Miaoling Mountain in the southwest?"

"Exactly!" said Miao Shan, "Isn't the terrain similar to the thumb, and if you look from west to east like this, aren't the mountains similar to the palms of a man's hand?"

Everyone looked at it carefully and exclaimed, "Sure enough!"

From their position, the five abrupt peaks looked like the five towering fingers, and the wall they were on was right in the palm of their hand.

"That's right. This place is the manifestation of the Buddha, turning into the Buddha's palm to protect all beings!" Miao Shan leaned down, looked at Monk He, and praised: "It is the will of heaven that the general built the city on the palm of the Buddha." ”

"Okay, I and your people are tens of thousands, and we must build a city and a temple here, so that all the soldiers can have a place to live here!" Monk He immediately laughed loudly.

Miao Shan leaned over and thanked him: "The marshal will be benevolent and virtuous, and the army will be rebellious, so naturally there will be the protection of the heavens, and the Buddha will appear!"

On the platform, those somewhat decadent soldiers heard this, and shouted in unison: "God bless, the Buddha manifests!"

Agitating the army with the manifestation of gods and auspicious events was not uncommon in the armies of the Middle Ages.

The reason why this happened is not because they are incompetent, but because what happened before is so unbelievable.

With 15,000 soldiers and horses against the 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Phoenix Army, in the case of numerical superiority, and also led by Monk He Badu himself, they were all defeated by the other party. I have to say that this unfavorable situation in the first battle has had a great impact on the entire army, even after the awakening of Monk He, it has not been eliminated, and he has always been terrified, afraid that one day the other party may come out of the mountain range next to him and inflict heavy losses on the entire army.

It wasn't until today that they heard the almost pious words of Miao Shan, and even when the marshal decided to build a city and a temple here, they settled down.

Seeing that the mood of the soldiers had calmed down, Miao Shan naturally retreated and began to mobilize the people, preparing to open mountains and quarry stones here, and build city walls and dwellings, so that this army of tens of thousands of people also had a place to live.

This battle will take three to five months, to say the least, and if there is no stable place, then the soldiers will inevitably have a lot of unaccustomed and exhausted physical strength, so it is also quite important to ensure that the soldiers have sufficient physical strength.

The way of war is to be single-minded, such a thing, but it is ordinary!(To be continued.) )
