War is when the victors dance on the ruins of the losers.
There are fires all over the mountains and plains, weeping villages, and lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The grinning Ming soldiers were tied up with a woman...
The Ming army crossed Gaoliang Gong Mountain and caught the rebellious barbarian chieftain by surprise. In panic, he lost two lines of defense in succession.
They once thought that this place would become a Shura field for the Ming Dynasty's army, but little did they know that in a short period of time, it had become a holy place for the Ming Dynasty's army to enjoy carnival.
Moreover, this carnival has just begun. After seeing the blood, the wolves will continue to start their killing feast.
The raging beat of the bonfire reflected the bloodthirsty faces.
War will also reveal the most cruel side deep in everyone's heart.
The wounded soldiers did not even bother to wrap their wounds. After using their last patience to report their merits to the officers, they dived into the prisoners and selected them with red eyes. Several times, they were so good that they could only wear a pair of trousers on weekdays. Brothers, they fell in love with someone at the same time, and then they cursed each other so much that they exchanged fists and kicks. They even even took out their weapons and wanted blood to be splashed on the spot.
The officers tried their best to suppress him and suppressed him with military law.
Then not long after, women's screams and men's wanton laughter could be heard in remote corners and military tents.
As for those who didn't get their turn, they gritted their teeth and sat by the fire, wiping their knives and cursing fiercely.
Then he looked at the distant mountains with the faint light of fire, his eyes full of desire.
Over there is the base camp of several barbarian chieftains who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.
Over there, it is said that there are tens of thousands of people...
~~
The hustle and bustle of the camp seemed to have nothing to do with Lan Yu.
He sat on the horse, carefully wiped his sword with a dry linen cloth, and then applied a layer of oil on his chainmail.
His movements were slow, methodical, and gentle. It was as if the weapon in his hand was not a dead object, but the person he loved.
After everything was ready, he stood up, put on his armor and hung his sword, picked up the kettle hanging on the charcoal fire, and filled his water bag.
"Remember, tell the boys!" Lan Yu ordered to the soldiers standing at the door, "All water in the camp must be boiled before drinking. Also, our water sources must be checked and stored, and don't let the barbarians secretly Poisoned the fuck!"
"Here!" the soldier responded loudly, with a pair of eyes that had spent the rest of his life in battle extremely cold.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was in high spirits, strode in from outside.
In the battle of Jinghanzhai, he personally killed three barbarians, one of whom was a small chieftain.
This made him suddenly feel that dealing with these barbarians was actually not that difficult.
"Shuai Lan, what are you doing..." After entering the military tent, Zhu Gaoxu asked hurriedly when he saw Lan Yu dressed in military uniform and seemed to be going out.
"Patrol patrol!" Lan Yu said two words lightly.
"At this time?" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, "We just won the battle..."
"We just have a good start, the battle is not over yet!" Lan Yu tightened the copper buckle of his belt, "The main tribe of barbarians on the opposite mountain is still there." With that, he walked out of the tent with his head held high.
"But?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and quickly followed, "But now they are all scared..."
"Manzi Tusi told you that you were scared out of your wits?" Lan Yu stopped suddenly, her eyes making people's hair stand on end.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look at him.
"What did I teach you in the past, old man?" Lan Yu continued, "Soldiers can be happy, but generals must always be vigilant. Do you think we can be unscrupulous now that we have the advantage? Ha, that's exactly what the barbarian chieftain wants us to do. Think so!"
"Once we really think this, we feel relieved. In these high mountains, barbarians are everywhere. Just a sneak attack can turn the tide of the battle! We win once, but we don't win, but if we lose once, it will be difficult to regain our strength.
Make it harder!"
"Do you think that if we win one game, we can continue to win? Boy, let me tell you, the battle is about tenacity. Things that are tricky can only win in a moment. The battle between the two armies is who makes fewer mistakes and who is better.
There’s plenty of food and grass!”
"Let's talk about trickery, we can use it, and the enemy can use it too. Think about it, how many examples have there been of winning first and then losing? If nothing else, how did Xu Tiande, the king of Zhongshan, suffer the defeat against Wang Baobao?"
With that said, he ignored Zhu Gaoxu and started patrolling along the perimeter of the camp with more than a hundred of his soldiers.
Zhu Gaoxu followed silently. Lan Yu's words made him a little ashamed. He understood the principle of not being arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat, but sometimes it was difficult to do so.
But he still had many questions in his mind. It wasn't until the group of people patrolled far away from the camp that he asked, "Commander Lan, since you are worried about the enemy's sneak attack, why did you let the brothers in the camp..."
"I just finished killing people, if I don't let them have fun, I will feel sick!" Lan Yu looked at the mountains in the distance and whispered, "Besides, old man, I hope that the sons and daughters will have more fun."
This time, Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand again, because Lan Yu's words were very contradictory.
"The more fun we have, the better the opportunity will be for the barbarians on the opposite mountain to attack!" A sneer appeared on Lan Yu's face, "Hey, just in case they can't get over it and want to come at this time..." As he said this, he suddenly hit his mouth.
A whistle.
From the corner of his eye, Zhu Gaoxu caught a glimpse of several figures lurking in the night in the mountains and forests, appearing indifferently.
These people are all veterans who have followed Lan Yu all the way.
Their steps were slow, but their eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Commander, there's no movement!" said a veteran. "The wind has been blowing for half the night, and I haven't seen a single barbarian!"
"Then it probably won't come!" Lan Yu whispered, then turned to look at the deputy general Zhai Neng behind him, "Where is Mu Gong?"
"Two hours ago, I took people to the front to explore the enemy's situation. I guess I will be back soon!" Zhai Neng is also a strong soldier, but when facing Lan Yu, he didn't look tough at all and couldn't speak.
He said in a low voice, "It is reported that there are no less than 100,000 men in the Kongtong Village opposite."
Zhu Gaoxu was startled, "So many?"
"Then why else would we dispatch tens of thousands of troops?" Lan Yu glanced at him sideways, and then looked at the mountains in the distance, "Barbarians, regardless of gender, old or young, are good hunters, and they are aggressive in nature. Kongtong Village occupies a high position.
There are fortresses scattered all over the mountains. If there is a fight, we will also use our lives to pay for it!"
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "The leader of the chieftains on the barbarian side is called Dao Mengqian? Since he dares to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, he must have a few brushes. But he has so many people in his hands, but he is really cowering.
Is it just to consume us?"
Lan Yu nodded approvingly, "You are doing well now, you know how to think deeply!"
As he said that, he pointed to the undulating mountains in the night and continued, "He is indeed trying to fight us, letting our army spread out to attack the mountains. In this way, our army will be scattered. When we are exhausted,
When the time comes, we can organize a surprise force to win by surprise."
Although this land nominally belongs to the Ming Dynasty, it has been in the hands of the chieftains for thousands of years. Now the Ming army is fighting here, which is equivalent to going deep into the enemy's territory.
The opponent is waiting for you in a tight formation, and is planning to retreat at all levels. If you are defeated, you can retreat slowly while looking at each other head to tail.
And once the Ming army was defeated and was cut off from the middle or raided the Chinese army camp, it would be a huge rout.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu took a breath of air.
If the Ming army is really defeated, countless barbarians hiding in the mountains and forests will rush to bite them desperately...
"There is another possibility!" Lan Yu said, "He is waiting!"
"What are you waiting for?" Zhu Gaoxu asked subconsciously.
