Shao Yan lay on the hillside and carefully observed the terrain in this area, and took out the prepared charcoal and started drawing on the paper. Bai Ruxue thought he was drawing the terrain here, but when he looked around, he found that there was nothing on the paper.
There are no standards for the lines. Except for some simple black dots, they are all filled with incomprehensible symbols. Those black dots are regularly distributed in one place and connected together like a long snake.
"Your Majesty, is this what you painted? Why doesn't it look like it?" Bai Ruxue asked curiously
Shao Yan said: "This is a military deployment map."
"Military deployment plan?" Bai Ruxue looked at him more and more puzzled.
Shao Yan smiled calmly and said: "Yes, while I have time now, I plan to record all the terrain in this area so that it can be used in the future."
Bai Ruxue looked at the pattern on the paper carefully, frowned and said: "But there is no mark or approval on it, how can we identify it?"
Shao Yan pointed at his head and said with a smile: "Write it all down here. I just use some numbers to roughly describe the situation here. For example: the word 1 refers to a straight line, the word 2 refers to a curve, and so on.
, 3456789, whichever number the terrain resembles, use that number to replace it. In short, every number can be used. In this way, even if this map falls into the hands of the enemy in the future, there is no fear of leaking military secrets."
Bai Ruxue looked at those numbers and couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty, you said these are numbers, why do they look so strange?"
Shao Yan smiled and said: "These are called Arabic numerals. In our country..." Halfway through, he quickly changed his words and said: "Oh, I also learned it from a foreign envoy. This kind of numerals is both concise and easy to remember."
Bai Ruxue nodded in approval. At this moment, a team suddenly appeared from the foot of the mountain not far away. There were probably tens of thousands of people. The long formation was walking on the trail in an orderly manner. It looked quite...
Some momentum
With the sound of horse hooves and footsteps getting closer and closer, Shao Yan stretched his neck and looked around. He saw the opponent's soldier holding a bright flag with a big word "Chu" written on it.
It's the Chu army, grandma's, it's here after all. Shao Yan secretly said excitedly. At this time, the Donglin soldiers who were ambushing on the mountain were ready to move. As long as the enemy army moved forward another five hundred steps, they would raise their weapons and move out.
Unexpectedly, when this group of Chu troops just entered this area, one of the leading generals suddenly made a sign to stop advancing. Along with him was a black-faced general who looked quite old, but his eyes were bright.
He hurriedly tightened the reins, looked at his companions beside him strangely and said, "Commander Wang, you are walking well, why do you have to stop?"
The general named Wang Xin raised his head and looked around, and then said calmly: "Old Hei, you see here is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are high and steep everywhere. This kind of terrain is very suitable for an ambush. Take a closer look.
Looking at the front, it looks like a sack. If we advance rashly, once we encounter an ambush, we may even be cut off."
Lao Hei smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, Commander Wang, when did you become so suspicious? You have said this so many times along the way. Aren't we all fine now?"
Wang Xin shook his head and said: "No, this time is different. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. I have a hunch that if we go deep this time, something will happen."
Lao Hei laughed indifferently and said: "Commander Wang, just relax. Even if we are really ambushed later, won't there be Liang Jun behind us? What do you have to fear?"
When Wang Xin heard what he said, half of the doubts on his face suddenly disappeared. After stopping for a moment, he continued to lead the army forward.
Shao Yan could clearly see and hear clearly that this Wang Xin was exactly the soldier he had met once before. Unexpectedly, in just a few short months, this guy had suddenly changed from a soldier to a commander, and now he also brought thousands of people with him.
The rest of the soldiers came to attack Badaling, but this man is not a very evil person. If he were not the leader of each banner, he might still be able to form a close relationship with him.
"One, two, three, four...sixty-five...seventy-seven...ninety-five, four hundred and fifty-one..., four hundred and sixty-two...," Bai Ruxue counted silently in a low voice,
When she counted to five hundred
"kill----"
In an instant, the sound of killing broke out everywhere, the ground shook and the mountains shook. Thousands of Donglin soldiers rushed down the mountain with their swords. Countless big rocks smashed on the heads of the Chu soldiers. Facing the sudden ambush, the Chu soldiers suddenly
He was in a hurry and hurriedly drew his sword to resist. Wang Xin looked calm and collected, and immediately raised his spear to meet the enemy. Lao Hei saw so many Donglin soldiers rushing out at once, and his legs and feet were trembling with fear. He waited for him to calm down.
When the god came, he found that he had been surrounded by more than a dozen Donglin soldiers.
Suddenly, shouts, screams, screams, screams... the sounds could be heard endlessly, and formed a beautiful symphony for this silent valley.
Shao Yan's hands were itching after seeing it. If Bai Ruxue hadn't stopped him at the edge, he would have picked up the guy and rushed over.
The main generals in this ambush were Li Changsheng, Lu Jin, Lu Yin, and Lu Cai. Each of the four led 3,000 soldiers. They suddenly came out from the four hills. The Chu soldiers were caught off guard and were hacked and killed countless times.
Wang Xin, the leader of the Chu army, and Lao Hei led the soldiers to retreat while fighting. Li Changsheng rushed into the enemy army on foot single-handedly. Despite his age, when it came to fighting, he was definitely a top-notch fighter. Any Chu soldier would encounter him.
Those who passed by would either have their heads chopped off or their limbs chopped off.
In comparison, although the martial arts of the three brothers of the Lu family are not as good as his, because the three of them are all Orions, their bodies are very flexible, and the three of them always fight together. As long as they are close Chu soldiers, they will be either
Push into a mountain stream and fall to death, or be intercepted from the waist
Shao Yan shouted that he was satisfied. At this time, Wang Xin and Lao Hei took advantage of the chaos and led their troops to retreat. Li Changsheng and others pretended to be unable to pursue and quickly retreated back to the mountain. Although Wang Xin had doubts about this, due to the critical situation, he
There was no time to think too much, so he withdrew the large army to a small forest ten miles away. After this battle, the Chu soldiers suffered casualties of up to a thousand people and more than 200 horses.
There were only 112 casualties among Donglin soldiers, and a lot of grain, grass and horses were also seized. While Li Changsheng, Lu Jin and other generals were happily counting the spoils, Shao Yan and Bai Ruxue came from another mountain together.
Arrived at the scene
"Your Majesty?" Li Changsheng and others were startled at first, and then they threw themselves on the ground and kowtowed: "I'd like to see you, Your Majesty, long live long live, long live long live."
"Everyone, please get up quickly."
"Long live thanks"
Shao Yan looked at so many trophies on the ground and couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Everyone did a good job in this ambush battle. It's still early. Everyone should adjust as soon as possible. There will be an annihilation battle later."
All the generals naturally understood what the emperor meant, but Li Changsheng said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you must have seen it just now. The Chu army only has more than 10,000 men. This time, its vitality has been severely damaged. Why don't you let us take advantage of the victory and pursue it? And?
Why don't you wait here?"
Shao Yan smiled and said nothing, while Bai Ruxue smiled sweetly and said: "Uncle Li, after all, you still haven't understood what the emperor meant. You are right. A mere 10,000 Chu troops are not terrible, but this is just them."
The vanguard force, together with the follow-up troops, totals more than 50,000 people. We cannot just show off our bravery and ignore the elite troops behind us. As the saying goes, we hit the snake within seven inches. What we hit this time was his head.
When he realizes that he is in pain, he will definitely launch a major counterattack. At that time, Zhang Baihu will cut off their throats in the middle, and the rest of their heads will be left to you."
Li Changsheng touched his forehead and said with a smile: "When you say this, girl, I am confused. What does it mean to hit a snake seven inches? Could it be that the emperor wants to divide the enemy into several large pieces, and then attack them one by one?
Our vanguard only targets the head?"
Shao Yan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the Chu army has a total of more than 50,000 people, and according to the news, Liang Jun also sent a large force to join in the fun, so what we are facing this time is not a small force.
With our current strength, our troops can only outwit them, not attack them in the main. We must wear them down mentally, and then catch them by surprise, catching them off guard until they are all annihilated."
"Old minister, I understand. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will kill them even if I risk my life." Li Changsheng said confidently.
Shao Yan smiled and said: "I have just seen the old general's demeanor. The old general is indeed the most capable general in Donglin Kingdom."
Li Changsheng was flattered by his praise. Shao Yan paused and said, "However, there was a leader named Wang Xin among the Chu army just now. If the old general can save his life, please give me one."
Li Changsheng wondered: "Why? The Chu army attacked our people and killed everyone, especially the generals who led the troops."
Shao Yan said: "This man is different from other leaders. I have had a relationship with him. He is an upright and aboveboard person, not like a great evil person, and he is brave and good at fighting. If such a person can be used by my court, he will definitely
It’s even more powerful than a tiger”
Li Changsheng had a sullen face, and after a while he reluctantly said: "Since the emperor has spoken, how can I not disobey the old minister? The only thing that a talented minister can do is obey the order."
Shao Yan continued: "After this battle, the Chu army will definitely not dare to advance now. Lu Yin, Lu Cai, you two brothers immediately brought a team of troops to transport these trophies back quickly."
"It's your order." The two brothers kowtowed in unison.
After the loot was transported away, Shao Yan, under the protection of Bai Ruxue and the four masters, took a small road to Chang Yixiao and Zhang Huaide. As early as an hour ago, these two guys had already killed three cheetahs and two cheetahs.
The tiger was loaded into an iron cage and transported to the place where the ambush was set up. This was a large mountain col with only one cave leading to the outside world. That is to say, once Liang Bing entered it, as long as they sent people to block the exit and entrance in time, they would be like
Turtles in a urn, what awaits them is the attack of wild beasts
Chang Yixiao told Shao Yan that the five beasts in the cage had not been fed for three days. Once they were released from the cage, they would pounce on their enemies and bite them. In order to prevent them from accidentally biting one of their own, Zhang Huaide followed Shao Yan's wishes and specially developed a
A drug has been invented. As long as you rub a little on a person's face, the beast will treat you as one of its own.
Shao Yan grabbed some ointment from the plate and applied it on his face without hesitation. Bai Ruxue followed suit, frowning slightly, sniffing a few times, and said: "Your Majesty, the smell of this medicine is
Why is it so weird?”
Zhang Huaide couldn't help but want to laugh, and thought to himself, what kind of medicine is that? It's basically made of feces. It was developed by the emperor and me.
Shao Yan hid his smile and pretended to be surprised: "No, why didn't I smell it? Oh, maybe good medicine has such a smell?"
Bai Ruxue said in relief and carefully applied the ointment evenly. After a while, spies from the front came to report that Liang Jun's large force was found 500 meters away. It was initially estimated that there were more than 20,000 troops.
