After setting up camp, Yuan Qi discussed the military situation with everyone in the Chinese military tent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tian Mou was the first to speak: "My lord, the day before yesterday, Mou watched the military formation of the Xin barbarians from a distance on the mountain, and found that the Xin barbarians were as cruel as tigers and leopards, and the war horses were as fast as the wind, coming and going freely. However, they were loosely formed, which was the most beneficial point for our army. Tian Mou quickly entered his role, and when he analyzed things, he was also organized.

Qi Tian on the side glanced at Tian Mou with a slight surprise in his eyes. For Zhang Chong, who is also a martial artist, Qi Tian can feel his momentum, and he can also observe Zhang Chong's martial arts through his body shape and posture, and recognize Yuan Qi's behavior of accepting Zhang Chong as a deputy general. But for Tian Mou, a person who was not powerless, but was quite weak in Qi Tian's eyes, he never understood why Yuan Qi would entrust him with a heavy responsibility as soon as he met.

But through Tian Mou's analysis just now, Qi Tian somewhat understood Yuan Qi's intentions, although this person was born in Orion and had a low status, but he had a bit of vision. In one sentence, the combat characteristics of the Xin barbarians are revealed.

So, Qi Tian opened his mouth and said: "I have been on the border for a long time, and I know well the fighting style of the Xin barbarians who come and go like the wind, which is a typical wolf pack tactic. ”

Zhang Chong lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "From a certain point of view, the Xin barbarians have plundered and captured their hands repeatedly, and their arrogance is flourishing, and the men and horses are also ten times that of our army. First try to hold back the army of the Xin barbarians, and wait until the state pastor leads the army to come, and then our army will attack from the side. ”

Yuan Qi stretched out two fingers and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "What everyone said makes sense, but I think that the Xin barbarians have plundered and captured their hands several times, and they must think that our army can be bullied and has become an arrogant soldier, and the so-called arrogant soldier will be defeated." I mean, in this battle, you can stand by and set up an ambush, and you can catch the barbarians off guard. ”

When Qi Tian and the others heard about Yuan Qi's strategy, their eyes lit up. That's right, the Xin barbarians are already arrogant soldiers at the moment, if our army sets up an ambush, the Xin barbarians will definitely crash into the ambush circle with arrogance.

Tian Mou thought carefully for a moment and said: "My lord, twenty miles away in the northwest, there is a mountain called Bahrain Mountain, surrounded by a river under the mountain, the Xin barbarians call it the Urgillun River, and the Han people call it the Wu River, the Wu River surrounds and flows under the Bahrain Mountain, and the water is turbulent. Otherwise, if you find a way to lure the Xin barbarians to the mountains of Bahrain, as long as you hold the only land route, the Xin barbarians will not be able to escape. ”

When Yuan Qi heard this, he thought about it carefully and thought that this plan was feasible. Then he said, "That's it." Zhang Chong, you pick up fifty sergeants, go with a certain person to survey the terrain, and Tian Mou will lead the way. Big brother, I'm tired of you leading the army to defend the camp. Qi Tian and the other three agreed in unison.

Leaving the camp, Yuan Qi and dozens of other horsemen rushed to the Bahrain Mountains in the northwest. When he was about to run to the foot of the Bahrain Mountain, Tian Mou beat his horse and came to Yuan Qi's side, pointed not far away and said, "My lord, please look, there is the Bahrain Mountain." Now we are walking on a path without the circulation of the Wu River, and this path can only accommodate seven or eight horses at most. The other three sides are in the circulation of the Wu River. ”

Yuan nodded his head to show that he understood, and then he first patted his horse and galloped into the mountains of Bahrain. After running around the Bahrain Mountains, Yuan Qi had a general impression of the mountains and rivers in his heart, and felt that this place was indeed suitable for ambush. So he took out charcoal and white silk and began to draw a map in earnest. Zhang Chong and Tian Mou came to Yuan Qi, looked at the map drawn by Yuan Qi, and couldn't help but praise each other. Although Yuan Qi is limited to the technology of this era of this world, it is impossible to make a 3D three-dimensional map or anything, but it is not difficult to draw an accurate and detailed map using the method of scale. This is not worth mentioning at all in Yuan Qi's opinion, but in the eyes of Zhang Chong and Tian Mou, it is different, in the future, as long as the scouts in front can draw such a picture back, it will not only facilitate the commander to formulate a combat policy, but also let the soldiers in the rear have a general understanding of the terrain of the battle, so that their eyes will not be blackened when the war starts.

Zhang Chong admired Yuan Qi even more at this moment: "Lord, this picture you drew is really ingenious and breathtaking. In the future, if our army trains scouts with half the mapping level of the lord, all the terrain will be clear. Perhaps under the influence of Tian Mou, Zhang Chong also changed his words and called Yuan Qi the main son, not the second son.

Yuan Qi didn't care about Zhang Chong's title, but he was stunned by Zhang Chong's words, and thought: It seems that Zhang Chong really has the posture of a famous general, and this ability to draw inferences from one another is really not covered. He smiled and said, "After this battle, how about leaving the matter of forming scouts to you?"

Zhang Chong clasped his fists and saluted, and replied: "The lord's order, even if Chong's liver and brain are smeared, he will definitely live up to the lord's trust." Yuan Qi waved his hand and said seriously: "You don't need to be stupid, and Tian Mou is the same." Now that the royal family is dying, you need to live well, and in the future, you will fight on the battlefield with a certain person, and re-establish the prestige of our country. When Zhang Chong and Tian Mou heard this, they were inexplicably grateful, and they both knelt on the ground and said in unison: "A certain two people swear to follow the lord to the death!"

In the evening, Yuan Qi and the others returned to the camp, and as soon as they entered the big tent of the Chinese army, they saw Qi Tian coming forward with a happy face, took Yuan Qi's hand, looked at Yuan Qi carefully, and said: "If you come back later, I will go to look for you, why have you been surveying the terrain for so long? ”

Yuan Qi was very moved in his heart, having such a righteous brother was still something that made Yuan Qi very happy. So he said: "Brother Lao is worried, isn't the younger brother coming back? It's just that he was delayed for some time during the survey." ”

When Qi Tian heard this, he asked, "How about it?" Yuan Qi patted the map in his hand and said, "Let's discuss it carefully." ”

Everyone sat down, Yuan Qi was still sitting on the main seat, Qi Tian was sitting slightly to the left next to Yuan Qi, and Zhang Chong and Tian Mou were sitting on the lower right hand side of Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi spread out the map, pointed to the path into Mount Balin, and said: "This is the key to this ambush, and our army must firmly control this place in order to trap the Xin barbarians lured into Mount Balin to death." Big brother, the task of guarding this choke point will be handed over to you. Qi Tian didn't think about it, then nodded and replied, "Okay! ”

Yuan Qi nodded and continued: "Another key factor in this ambush is how to lure the Xin barbarians into Balin Mountain lightly. Zhang Chong, with you leading two hundred soldiers, overnight in sacks of dry firewood, nitrate and other fire-starting things, covered the surface with grain and grass, tomorrow to make a grain convoy, luring the Xin barbarians into the Bahrain Mountains. Zhang Chong replied loudly: "No!"

Glancing at Tian Mou, Yuan Qi continued: "Tian Mou, you have lived here for a long time, and you must be very familiar with the neighboring villages?" Tian Mou replied: "Yes." Yuan nodded and said: "Then, you lead fifty sergeants to disguise themselves as ordinary people, go out of the camp overnight, and spread the news to the nearby villages, saying that our army is responsible for escorting a horse of grain and grass to Youzhou, and will pass near Mount Balin around noon tomorrow." Tian Mou replied, "No!"

With a long sigh of relief, Yuan Qi straightened up, glanced around at the people in the tent, and said slowly: "The success or failure of our army is determined here." ”

The next day, Zhang Chong and 200 sergeants escorted 30 carts and slowly marched on the official road near Mount Balin. A sergeant smiled and said to Zhang Chong: "General Zhang, you say, the second son, uh, the strategy of the young general, can it work?" Zhang Chong smiled, looked at the sergeant who asked the question, and said in a low voice: "It's okay or not, I don't know, but I believe that the lord is the proud dragon among people, and he will soar to the sky one day." The sergeant who asked the question replied yes and said, "By the way, I heard that when the major general was born, the fiery clouds in the sky actually condensed into the appearance of a dragon, a red dragon!" Zhang Chongqi said: "Is this really true?" The sergeant patted his chest and replied affirmatively: "It can't be wrong." At that time, this matter spread, and the whole state saw it, can there be a fake?"

At this time, another sergeant also stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That's right, I am from Wuyuan County, and I have been following the state pastor, but I witnessed that spectacular scene with my own eyes, not only me, General Zhang can ask the brothers in the army at will, and they all know about it." ”

Zhang Chong turned his head and glanced in the direction where Yuan Qi was behind him, and thought to himself: It turns out that the lord had a vision when he was born, and he will definitely achieve something great in the future!

Suddenly, a whistle came from a distance. Here it is! Zhang Chong thought to himself, that was the unique battle cry of the Xin barbarians. So he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, set up!" Two hundred elite warriors immediately flapped their horses and spread them out in the shape of goose wings. After a while, everyone felt the earth tremble, which was caused by the Xin barbarians' war horses trampling on the earth. Extrapolating from the frequency of the vibrations, the war horses of the Xin barbarians were at least about a thousand.

Finally, the figure of the Xin barbarian appeared in the eyes of Zhang Chong and others. Thousands of cavalry rode their horses while brandishing their sabers. The first one has a pheasant tail on his head and a wolf's hair on his shoulders. A sergeant who was familiar with the customs of the Xin barbarians shouted: "That's the left guard of the Xin barbarians!"

When Zhang Chong heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, hmph, is this the left guard who snatched away the master's mother? If it weren't for the fact that someone had a life, he would definitely slap his horse and slash you under the knife. However, Zhang Chong is Zhang Chong after all, he knows his responsibilities, and he also knows that hatred often covers people's eyes, thus making people lose their minds. Obviously, Zhang Chong would not do that kind of irrational thing.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Chong raised the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow!" The two hundred sergeants who were swinging in the shape of goose wings heard Zhang Chong's order, and immediately released their bowstrings, and two hundred sharp arrows came out of the strings and shot towards the Xin barbarians. Without looking at the results of the battle, Zhang Chong then gave another order: "Take the carriage and horses and retreat to the mountains of Bahrain." Two hundred sergeants quickly put away their bows and arrows, drove the wagon, and followed Zhang Chong to Bahrain Mountain to withdraw his troops.

The losses caused by two hundred sharp arrows to the thousands of Xin Barbarian cavalry were negligible, but they succeeded in provoking the brutality of the Xin Barbarian nature. This time the invasion of the south, which time was not a random life and death? Which time did not let them flee from the wind? However, this time someone dared to fight back, and seeing that this group of sergeants was very concerned about the appearance of the carriages, it is estimated that the rumors are true, and those carriages must have loaded military salaries destined for Youzhou!

The left guard led by him whistled, turned his saber in the air for a moment, and then pointed in the direction of Zhang Chong's retreating army. This was the usual order of the Xin barbarians when they were fighting, and the left guards were commanding the thousands of cavalry under their command to outflank and follow.

Soon, Zhang Chong led his troops to retreat into the Bahrain Mountains, and the Xinman cavalry, under the leadership of the Left Guard, chased into the Bahrain Mountains without thinking. Zhang Chong led his troops to resist slightly, but they collapsed and fled out of the mountains. Some of the Xinman cavalry wanted to go forward to chase and kill, but they were stopped by the left guard, in the words of the left guard: compared with the enemy's deserters, the military salary is still attractive.

But the next moment, Zuo Bingwei was furious! Where is there any military salary? The carts full of 30 were loaded with nothing but dry firewood and nitrate, and there was not a single grain of grain! This can only be blamed for Tian Mou's unkindness, and in order to be realistic, Yuan Qi ordered Zhang Chong to pretend to be a little grain to tempt the Xin barbarians, but Tian Mou, who deeply understood the greedy and brutal nature of the Xin barbarians, privately found Zhang Chong and asked Zhang Chong to load only dry firewood and nitrate, and patted his chest and promised that those brainless Xin barbarians would definitely catch up without distinguishing between the real and the fake.

Then, Zhang Chong did as Tian Mou said. Then the left guard was furious. Then, there is no then. Thinking with his heels, Zuo Bingwei also knew that he had been tricked, and Zuo Bingwei, who was very familiar with the terrain, suddenly woke up: This is Bahrain Mountain! There is a Ulgilen River at the foot of Bahrain Mountain! As long as the enemy army has 200 dead soldiers and holds bows and arrows to guard the not wide exit, it will be impossible for more than 1,000 of them to go out! Not to mention that there are still 30 carts of dry firewood and nitrate carbon by his side! As long as the enemy fires a round of rockets, his more than 1,000 people will be finished!
