Chapter 707: Falling into a Trap
"No wonder I haven't seen monks and nuns before. I ran away for a long time. I laughed. The Buddhist monks are quiet and inactive, even if they rush to the Northern Qi Dynasty, they are only to protect the protector of the world, Ye Aofeng wants to punish them for going on the expedition, naturally it can't be, many monks and nuns come to the front line to see that the situation is not right, and it is normal to pick the son to leave, this information intercepted not only made me and Xu Shuangyi feel good, but also solved the doubts in my heart, I never understood why the Northern Qi side had to retreat slowly, and now it seems that it is because of the loss of the help of the people of Buddhism, the reason for retreating is to use mines to widen the distance between the two sides, so as to buy time to ask for new assistance。
"There are also difficulties in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the fact that the Buddhist monks do not listen to their instructions is enough to make them suffocated. Xu Shuangyi smiled and spoke. The originally low mood was also cleared up because of this little episode.
While the two were talking, the golden-winged Dapeng had already begun to pluck the black crane to eat, and the scene was very bloody, and Xu Shuangyi and I could only turn around. The golden-winged Dapeng took the initiative to find it, and the two stepped on Peng's back and took off north again.
The camp in the north is indeed the headquarters camp of the Qi army, among which there are more than thirty purple qi dao people and a few earth immortals, because we arrived too late, the soldiers and daoists have already rested, and there is silence in the camp, only a small number of sentries are napping with Tong Ge.
"It's a great opportunity to steal camps. Xu Shuangyi frowned and looked down.
"What kind of system does the coach steal the camp into, go back. I laughed. Ye Aofeng and I have always followed a latent rule, that is, the coach does not personally slaughter the leading general, and I will not break this rule if he does not foul first. The two of us are now like two chess opponents, currently just playing chess, and it is not yet time for two chess players to smash the chessboard and you kick me.
Xu Shuangyi nodded in agreement, and then drove the golden-winged Dapeng back, in the process of returning, I looked up to the east, and sure enough, I found that the breath of many Buddhist monks was moving in the territory of Northern Qi, which verified Jingguang's urgent letter to Ma Lingfeng.
When I returned to the headquarters camp, it was early the next morning, I waited until Xu Shuangyi had breakfast and rested before reviewing the soldiers with General Yang Yi, our Northern Zhou army's comprehensive strength was stronger than that of Northern Qi, the reason for this situation was because I received the warning of Minghui Zen Master in advance, and began to prepare in advance.
When I was inspecting the troops, I found a situation that I was not satisfied with, the soldiers' daily meals were not sufficient, only six taels of water for each of the three meals, and in ancient times, eight taels was half a catty, and six taels was only equivalent to about four taels now, and the strong men could not eat enough at all. These are heavily armored warriors, how can they fight without enough to eat. In addition, those leaders with military positions, partial generals, generals, and generals have very good food, not only enough food, but also occasionally meat, which makes me very dissatisfied, how can there be such an official.
However, when I sent a request for more food to Yang Yi, he objected, and his reason surprised me very much, his theory is that soldiers can only eat so much in peacetime, and they will only be full when they are actually fighting, which has two advantages, one is to make soldiers eager for war, and give them the impression that they can eat enough when they fight. Second, after the soldiers have eaten enough, they will be full of warm thoughts and desires, and if they do not vent their desires, they will lose their tempers, and there will be fights in the camps, which is not conducive to the management and stability of the troops.
In his opinion, highlighting the treatment of officers can make soldiers jealous of officers and soldiers, and can also make soldiers enthusiastic about fighting, because only by fighting can they be rewarded and promoted, and if they want to eat and drink well and enjoy high-standard treatment, they must fight bravely and strive for military merit.
I am speechless for Yang Yi's seemingly fallacious words, because what he said does have a certain truth, those officers have many scars on their bodies, and those scars are their glorious history and their capital to enjoy preferential treatment with a clear conscience.
Although I was a soldier before, I was not an officer at that time, and I later became an officer and never led a soldier, because except for the disobedient guy of the King Kong Cannon, my section chief is a bare-bones commander, and because of this, I am not good at leading the army, since I am not good at it, I simply do not interfere, lest my own wrong command cause negative impact, I just need to coordinate the overall situation, there is no need to personally intervene in everything.
When Xu Shuangyi got up at noon, the two of them took the golden-winged Dapeng back to the base camp of the third line of defense led by General Zheng Zheng, where they were delayed for a few days, and sent a small number of Daomen people to the first front to assist in the defense, before Xu Shuangyi and I set off to return to Chang'an. Although the Qi army did not have the help of Buddhist monks and nuns at this time, I did not have the idea of taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack in the past, firstly, the mines were not easy to deal with, and secondly, our lightly armed elite was following Lin Yicheng to the south, and it was not suitable to start a war without lightly armed troops.
In fact, I thought I wanted to go south to meet Lin Yicheng, but after thinking about it, I didn't do that, first, I didn't want to see Lin Yicheng lead his troops to attack the innocent, and second, I didn't want to leave Lin Yicheng with the impression that I didn't believe in him.
When I arrived, the King Kong Cannon was organizing exercises in the suburbs, and the soldiers of the rifle company had mastered the normal use of the guns, and they also understood the flag, and now they are learning to ride a horse.
Although the posture was there, but there was no gun, after running a few laps empty, I changed the rifle to practice the sabre, and the saber was not something that the King Kong Cannon could teach, and the idle King Kong Cannon finally found me, and instead rode the squirrel towards me.
"How's the practice?" said King Kong Cannon with a look on his face waiting for my praise.
"Reinforcing the cavalry company, it's good. But why not shoot?" I nodded and laughed.
"Don't dare to shoot, as soon as you shoot the horse, you will be frightened and run, you can give me a trick. King Kong Cannon sighed helplessly.
"This is your troops, and you will lead them in the future, and I don't care about these things. I pouted and laughed. Horses in ancient times had never experienced artillery fire, and they were horrified by the sudden loud noise.
"Cheng, don't use me in the future. King Kong Cannon snorted coldly and turned his head.
"You can put a shot in the middle of feeding the concentrate and salt to get them used to and like the gunshots. I laughed. The principle of dog training is the same as that of horse training, both of which use the animal's foraging instinct and conditioned reflexes.
"It's a good idea. King Kong Cannon suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
"How much ammunition is prepared...... Wait, Lin Yicheng is looking for me. Halfway through my words, I suddenly felt Lin Yicheng's incense burning rumors, and what I didn't expect was that Lin Yicheng's voice was extremely anxious.
'Section Chief Yu, we are now attacking Jiankang, and we were unexpectedly attacked by the Northern Qi, the other side has about 50,000 cavalry, and three or four hundred monks act as the vanguard. Lin Yicheng knew that I could only listen and not ask, so he said in great detail.
Lin Yicheng repeated it several times after burning incense, which showed that his current situation was extremely critical, but at this time, what I was thinking about was that when I was on the border of Northern Qi and Northern Zhou seven days ago, I clearly found that the monk did not listen to the command and left the team without permission, how could he run to the territory of Chen State to become a pioneer.
Quickly connecting all the clues, I quickly came to a conclusion in my mind that shocked me, I may have fallen into a trap, those monks did not disobey the command, the reason why they withdrew from the position was to go south to intercept Lin Yicheng's lightly armed elite. And the letter on the black crane and the enemy's retreat were just a means for Ye Aofeng to confuse and paralyze me.
"Xu Shuangyi, how many birds do we still have left in Chang'an. I retracted my thoughts and turned my head to shout at Xu Shuangyi in the distance.
"There are only seven of them. Xu Shuangyi saw my eager tone and hurriedly replied.
Seven, seven is too few, not enough to carry enough helpers, besides, the distance is too far, the far water does not quench the thirst of the near, and now the only thing that can quickly rush to Jiankang is my teleportation technique, but the teleportation technique requires the consumption of aura, and even if I rush over, I still have to use the aura to defeat the enemy, how much aura does this cost me? It is undoubtedly a very stupid act for me to hollow myself out at the beginning of the war, but if I don't go over to help, the 200,000 elites led by Lin Yicheng will not be wiped out, and the power of three or four hundred monks is enough to make up for the lack of the number of cavalry on the other side, and the best type of force to deal with cavalry is heavy spears, and Lin Yicheng's lightly armed elite is most afraid of cavalry.
"What's going on?" Xu Shuangyi saw that my brows were tightly knit and her expression was nervous, and she couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong?" asked the King Kong Cannon rhetorically.
"The army led by Lin Yicheng was attacked by the Northern Qi cavalry when attacking Jiankang, the other side was about 50,000 people, and more than 300 monks acted as the vanguard, he couldn't support it, and he was asking me for help. "I'll go through it briefly.
"How can a monk act as a striker?" Xu Shuangyi asked suspiciously.
"The monks we saw on the border earlier did not leave the battle without permission, but were ordered to return to assist the cavalry in pursuing Lin Yicheng southward, and the news we intercepted seven days ago was only an illusion that the enemy had confused us. I shook my head.
"Don't talk about this yet, let's think about it, what should I do?" asked King Kong Cannon eagerly.
"Forget it, I'll go over. I shook my head helplessly, now this situation no longer allows me to send troops to rescue, so I can only go over and use the golden immortal spell to control the enemy.
"How much aura does that take?" King Kong Cannon shook his head repeatedly.
"There's no way, I can't watch Lin Yicheng fall into their hands. I shook my head again, Lin Yicheng led the army south to make a mistake, but I also had a great responsibility for failing to discover the enemy situation in time and give a warning.
"Old Yu, doesn't that golden retriever still owe us two things, you let him go, how can you fight in the future if you spoil the aura?"
King Kong Cannon's words instantly reminded me, Yao Jia also promised to help me do two things, this matter can be done by him.
"Hurry to Jiankang and kill all the lifeless people in the Qi military camp. At this point, he immediately spread the word to Yao Jia by remote sensing.
"Yes. The other party paused for a long time before answering, Yao Jia hesitated because he didn't know how many monks and nuns there were on the other side, but in the end he agreed.
After giving the order to Yao Jia, I didn't dare to delay, and quickly rushed to Jiankang with Xu Shuangyi and others in a flying bird......
