"He's such a strange flower. ”

At the top of the north mountain, there are a few people.

Compared with the strict defense of the east and west mountains, the north mountain is close to the river, and the guards are all newly recruited candidates, so the discipline and lineup seem to be a little loose.

On the bare hills, dozens of guards are vigilant against the quiet rivers and rivers.

Yellow mud piles up earthen stoves for four or five, and burns the cooking smoke. Each earthen stove has an iron pot with fresh fish on it. Alone, Fang Qingqiu and a dozen Yueyang disciples sat around the stove, whispering softly, and even a little apprehensive when eating.

Although Beishan is the rear of Yumu Village, there are rivers as dangers, and the possibility of war is extremely low. But on the same boat, the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the infinite pressure on the front line can also be truly experienced here. The defenders of the east and west mountains are only 300 people, even if the northerners are brave and occupy a geographical advantage, but in the face of the strong encirclement and suppression of the 8,000 royal families, whether they can support it or how long they can support it, no one has a bottom now...

"It's a very tasty dish, but it's tasteless. ”

"Do you think we'll be able to hold it?"

Restless and entangled, like a carp that surfaced before a rainstorm, his heart panicked.

A woman dressed in dark and white clothes, holding a tasteless meal in her hand, asked worriedly.

Dushao smiled noncommittally and silently.

He himself has been pondering this question for a long time, and he has not yet come to a conclusion. It's just that the royal army is coming to the city, and the army's heart is unshakable when the war is imminent, so he can only comfort: "Don't worry, the terrain of Yumu Village is dangerous, the cliffs on three sides are backed by water, traps, and dark crossbow rolling stones are all in place." As long as you are on guard, they will not be able to attack. ”

"Oh. ”

The woman seemed to find a hint of comfort, and slightly relaxed her tense mood.

After eating half of the fish, he muttered, "That's good, I've never seen such a battle when I'm so big." Thousands of people Marco were waiting with knives to lick the blood. Before going out, my father told me to stay away from him, otherwise it would be a big deal. As a result, my father really said it accurately, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”

"Sha..."

Fang Qingqiu ate the remaining food in the bowl casually, ignoring the chattering woman, picked up the paper fan with one hand and stroked it gently, looking at the green shirt under the mountain that was showing off his cooking skills, and had a lot of entanglements: "Dushao." ”

"Huh?"

"To be honest, I don't really have much faith in him this time. ”

"Huh. Du Shao smiled awkwardly.

"He is an expert in conspiracy and trickery, but he really has some ability to march and fight. The royal army is approaching the city, and even if we resist stubbornly, we can hold out for a while, but the huge gap in numbers cannot be made up. If that prince plays ruthlessly, and desperately attacks to break through the village and kill the enemy, our situation will be extremely dangerous. I'm really not optimistic about this battle. ”

Fang Gongzi's words are in everyone's hearts.

The chattering woman's sad face that had just eased immediately became tense again, and many people also followed Fang Qingqiu's gaze and fell to the Beijiang River at the bottom of the mountain, bitter.

Dushao also smiled bitterly, but he hid it well, but it disappeared in a flash.

He said lightly: "The arrangement of troops is about strategy, and the tactics of marching and fighting, both of which belong to strategy and arithmetic. I want to think that the ghost plotted Penglai to return from the industry and was ordered by the emperor to march south. At the beginning, he led only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he was able to guide the country in Nanping Mountain and suppress the vassal kings of the sixty-four states in the Southern Regions. Since he has inherited the mantle of ghosts, his military strategy and attainments must be extraordinary, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Heh..."

Fang Qingqiu smiled disapprovingly: "However, I really can't see where he has the momentum of the ghost plot back then, if he takes a spoon to cook vegetables and cooks, he can be regarded as a military strategy with extraordinary attainments." Oh, I think, I can too. ”

“......”

Fang Qingqiu still had a grudge against Xia Xun, and he could see it. he

sighed, shook his head with a wry smile: "You don't know him." ”

Fang Qingqiu glanced at him: "Why don't you understand?"

Du Shao said: "Going to the army to strategize, attacking the heart is the first, this is the first-hand layout he is best at." Don't underestimate the simplicity of boiling fish, there must be a hidden mystery in it. ”

Fang Qingqiu was even more contemptuous, and said disdainfully: "Don't help him blow here." Burning a few fish and making a ten-mile incense to whet people's appetites is what kind of attack is this? Could it be that he reincarnated all the people of the Kyoto Imperial Family as evil ghosts or three-year-old children, and he can disarm and surrender when he smells this fragrance? This is really funny. ”

“......”

Fang Qingqiu said quite reasonably.

I couldn't find an excuse to refute it for a while. Looking at the indifferent and elegant green shirt at the foot of the mountain, he smiled bitterly and pondered for a long time, before he vaguely guessed: "The plotter should be hidden, although the hermit endures, he may be waiting for an opportunity." ”

"Opportunity?"

"Yes. ”

"What an opportunity. ”

"I don't know. ”

“......”

Outside the Yumu Village...

The remnant sun is like blood, adding to the killing opportunity.

The three-sided military formation is mighty and terrifying, and eight thousand shields and armor are arranged in crane wings.

The east and west sides are flanked, with steel shields standing in front of the shield wall, followed by iron horsemen, and archers pressing their tails. The south end is the head of the formation, the two jade lion beasts stand proudly in front of the formation, dozens of fierce generals are guarded by Le Ma, and thousands of shield armor warriors are lined up in a phalanx. The imperial flag hunts, the wind reflects the remnant sun and the blood color, and the killing machine arrives before the war starts...

"Da-da-da-da. ”

"Drive!"

In the military array to the east, several Confucian scholars used their horses.

The leader, Bai Lingyun.

The royal army was arrayed in front of the Yumu Village, attacking at any time, and he came at the order.

However, after Bai Lingyun came out of the formation, he did not lead people to the head of the formation as reasonable, but whipped hard, drove the horse along the crane wing array on the periphery of Yumu Village, and ran back and forth. While running the horse, he muttered something to several Confucian scholars in his company, stopped from time to time to look at it, and recorded books from time to time...

Yumu Village says that it is not big, but it is not necessarily small when it is small.

There is more in the inner wall, more in the outer mountains, and it is razed into a flat dense forest by the clear field of the strong wall for several days, if it is calculated according to the range of the bow and crossbow, then the fish and wood village here is enough for six miles. So much so that when Bai Lingyun went around from the east to the west of Yumu Village and then returned to the head of the formation, the remnant sun on the horizon had almost set.

"Royal..."

Leading a few Confucian students, Bai Lingyun came to the side of the two sons of the Long family at the head of the formation, and made a small salute with his fists: "Childe." ”

"Yes. ”

Long Gongzi nodded and waved his hand to disobey him.

"When you came, you told me that you would not dare to offer me even if you had a plan before the battle. Now, you have also seen the situation of Yumu Village before you arrived at the battle, and there may be results?"

Bai Lingyun weighed for a moment, raised his fists and said, "There can't be a result yet." ”

"Even before the battle, why can't there be results?"

Bai Lingyun replied without humility or arrogance: "I have roughly observed the terrain before. Xia Xun arrived two days earlier than our army, and the inside and outside of Yumu Village have completed the clearing of the strong wall, and it is difficult for our army to have a place to hide within a radius of more than ten miles. And Yumu Village is surrounded by three mountains, the cliff is steep and more than 100 zhang high, and there are countless hidden traps and arrows, and it is impossible to jump up without the apocalypse realm. If the army rashly climbs the mountain and storms, as long as the oil is poured on the top of the mountain, our army will suffer fearless losses. If we take the trail, our army will be divided into multiple routes, and once the strength is diluted, it will give the enemy a chance to break through one by one..."

"Saying so much, you just can't hold back. ”

Before Bai Lingyun finished speaking, the second son of Long impatiently disdainfully broke off.

Bai Lingyun turned his eyes to look at the second son of Long, and said with a deep face: "It's not that you can't fight, but you need to find out the truth and truth, know yourself and the enemy, avoid its edge, and hit its weakness, which is the best policy." ”

The dragon fan shook slightly, and Long Gongzi asked lightly: "Where else do you need to explore the virtual reality?"

Bai Lingyun raised his head when he heard this, looked at the Yumuzhai Pass a few miles away, and said: "We need to explore the fortification of the east and west mountains first, and then explore the danger of ambush on the trail first. ”

"Heh, there's a lot of nonsense, don't you have to fight to find out?"

“......”

Maybe it's Xia Xun's arrogance that left a deep impression. Long Er Gongzi showed considerable disdain, but Long Gongzi's attitude was diametrically opposite, and it could be seen that there were many fears. He asked humbly, "Ling Yun thinks, how should he be tempted?"

Bai Lingyun turned his head, clenched his fists in both hands and said, "Gongzi only needs to order two thousand archers to shoot at the top of the east and west mountains for half a moment. Then order someone to find dozens of fast horses, and at the same time drive into the trail. ”

"It's that simple?" the second son of Long was suspicious.

Bai Lingyun replied: "It's that simple. ”

"Someone. ”

"In. ”

Long Gongzi was very decisive, he didn't think much about it at all, and when he raised his hand to summon the herald sergeant, he said solemnly: "Order the Imperial Forest Army and the Tiger Ben Division to each select thousands of archers, prepare enough arrows, and line up at the bottom of the east and west mountains of Yumu Village. Then let the logistics army select thirty sturdy military horses, unsaddle and remove armor, and lead them to the front of the battle. ”

"Order. ”

"Boom..."

The sergeant who gave the order, turned around in response to the order, and neatly took out four command flags from his waist, raised them high, and waved the flags.

"Crossbowmen out!"

"Longbowmen out!"

"Da Da Da..."

Seeing the flag order, the left and right wings of the royal army formation, several generals raised their swords and shouted. Then, the thousands of bow sergeants in the rear of the army formation were ordered to divide into several columns, quickly trotted out of the formation, followed by the two generals in front of the army formation, quickly assembled on the left and right sides of the Yumuzhai Pass, and gradually advanced forward.

More than 600 zhang away from the mountain pass, the two generals who led the team tightened the reins together, raised their arms and shouted: "Stop!"

"Huh!" the two thousand archers were in unison, and they stopped at the sound.

The two generals shouted again in unison: "Gather your breath!"

"Drink!"

Two thousand archers shouted violently, and the seven-foot qi rose with the drink, and the red glow was in flames. The bowstring tightens into a full moon, and the blade of the arrow condenses the cold light, and the arrow points to the nine heavens.

The formation was formed, and the two generals turned their heads tacitly and looked at the dragon prince at the head of the rear formation from a distance. Long Gongzi nodded silently, and the two generals immediately turned around again, pointed at the east and west hills of Yumu Village with long knives, and shouted in unison: "Yuji shoots continuously!"

"Chirp!"

The red glow is shining, thousands of arrows are sent together, and the pear blossoms are raining.

With an order, two thousand arrows left the string at the same time, with a slender aura like embroidered needles and threads, piercing the void and shooting into the nine heavens!

The front arrow goes, and the back arrow rises.

The arrow goes, and the arrow rises.

And so on, the arrows are connected, almost seamlessly.

As far as the eye can see, two thousand royal archers outside Yumu Village pull their bows and shoot fast, and countless arrows turn into two hundreds of zhang rainbows from the bottom to the top, rising from the ground and then forming an arc falling above the nine heavens, bombarding the top of the east and west mountains of Yumu Village...

"Sasha..."

Swift arrows with howling winds.

Before the arrow arrived, the wind was frightened.

Several northerner leaders sitting in the "canopy" of Dongshan cautiously put down the dishes and chopsticks, the palms of the dancing vines and dancing orchids hidden in their sleeves were filled with faint purple rays without a trace, and Mo Xian, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, took a few steps back and walked under the canopy.

"Oooo

Arrows, soon to come.

Dingling on the top of the east and west mountains, the "canopy" made of countless steel shields. The crisp sound of iron strikes was like a sudden invasion of a rainstorm, and the momentum was huge, but it did not cause the effect to match that of the ten thousand arrows.

It's the distance...

Arrows have to be shot high to shoot far.

But seeing that countless arrows were shot down by the Nine Heavens, after a buffer of thousands of feet, the aura attached to the blades of the swift arrows had long since dimmed. And the momentum of the off-string has been almost exhausted in the process of diving. When the arrow falls to the steel shield blocking the arrow, the damage it can cause is a little stronger than the short-range shooting of ordinary soldiers, and it is really a fool's dream to destroy the steel shield defense on the top of the east and west mountains with this.

“......”

Before the battle under the mountain, the two leading generals saw this situation, exchanged a look in tacit understanding, and nodded to each other. After that, one of the generals raised the Qinglong long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order, one arrow and seven steps, step by step!"

"Drink!"
