"Exit Wuyuan?" Not only Xu Zhiqing and Zuoqiu, but also Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan who were following him couldn't help being surprised.
Xu Zhiqing looked at him expectantly, and said eagerly, "Tell me how to retreat."
Lin Wanrong took three brushes, inkstones and inkstones from the table in the account, and laid them out one by one: "Master Xu, Brother Zuo, please take a look. The inkstone in the middle is like Wuyuan City, where we and the Hu people are on both sides. Since there is no danger in Wuyuan It can be defended, we don't need to defend it, and it is the best policy to withdraw from Wuyuan."
Zuoqiu nodded and said doubtfully: "It is necessary to withdraw from the Five Plains, but there are only two paths before us. Either continue to move forward and give the Hu people a hard blow. Or retreat a few miles and confront the Hu people. ! Why did Brother Lin choose the latter?!"
This is everyone's question, everyone's eyes are fixed on Lin Wanrong, waiting for his answer.
"Although we are also exiting Wuyuan City, these two routes are completely different. Brother Zuo, take a look—" Lin Wanrong moved the inkstone in the middle to the end: "If we leave Wuyuan in the north, we will take a stance in the desert to fight the barbarians. In a decisive battle, Wuyuan City will fall behind us. This will block our way of retreat, and the depth left for us will be extremely narrow. If we advance, it will be fine, but once we want to retreat—with the fierce fighting power of the Hu people, It is not impossible for our army to retreat temporarily. Once we decide to withdraw our troops, our Shenji Battalion has a lot of supplies and artillery, and the Wuyuan City will instantly become an obstacle for us, which means that we have blocked the road by ourselves. This method is extremely unacceptable."
Xu Zhiqing smiled and nodded: "So you suggest that my army retreat a little, and let Wuyuan City become a barrier between us and the Hu people? The two sides confront each other across the city?!" Miss Xu said, and moved the inkstone back , is placed between the two armies.
"Not bad!" Lin Wanrong glanced at her approvingly, and said in a deep voice: "If the Turks want to fight us, they must pass through the Wuyuan City. The most terrifying thing about the barbarian cavalry is that the horses are well-versed, The impetus of a sudden attack like overwhelming mountains and seas. And this Wuyuan City is a natural speed bump. No matter how good the Turkic horses are, when they pass through Wuyuan City, their speed will definitely slow down a lot. This will weaken the momentum of the Turkic cavalry. .And when their speed slowed down, our army's artillery could play its biggest role, bombarding Wuyuan City indiscriminately, and severely defeated the Turkic vanguard."
Zuoqiu and the others are all veterans who have experienced many battles. After listening to him, they will understand that although Wuyuan City is an abandoned fortress, it can be used to block the enemy. It is indeed a good idea.
Xu Zhiqing pondered for a while, then shook her head and said: "Although this method is good, the barbarians are not incompetent. If they find out that Wuyuan is an empty city, I'm afraid they won't rush in rashly."
"It's better not to rush forward rashly," Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Then we will face the Hu people across the city and compete for endurance. We have the Xingqing Mansion as the backing, and the food and grass can be replenished in time, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing. The Turkic people are heavily armed It is needless to say that people are exhausted and horses are exhausted. We can afford it, but they can’t wait.”
"But don't forget that these 60,000 troops are just the vanguard of the Hu people, and there are more than 200,000 Turkic elites behind, and the distance is only half a day away. Once they join together, our numbers and strength will be at a disadvantage. The reversal will happen in an instant. At that time, we will be the ones who can't afford it!" Xu Zhiqing reminded him with a deep thought, frowning slightly.
Lin Wanrong's eyes flashed sharply, and he said: "What the military adviser said is absolutely true. Half a day's journey is short or long, and it is enough for us to fight hard. Our army is going to win the first battle. Status is even more important."
Even if Wuyuan City can block the enemy's cavalry, it would be too exaggerated to say that Dahua's first victory will be achieved by relying on it. Not only Zuoqiu and Yu Zongcai didn't believe it, but even Hu Bugui and Gao Chief were skeptical. On the other hand, Ms. Xu has already seen the magic of Lin Wanrong, and she seems quite confident after hearing his words, a faint smile appeared on her face: "What are you going to do with Wuyuan City?"TtP://Www.QUaNbEn -xIAoShUO.com
Article? Come and listen. "
Everyone's eyes were on him, even Yu Zongcai was staring at him, Lin Wanrong smiled: "It's just a small trick to lure the enemy, it's nothing to say."
A trick to lure the enemy? Zuoqiu shook his head in disappointment: "Brother Lin, don't you want to defend the city with a small force and lure the barbarians to attack? You have vetoed this method just now. Wuyuan has no danger to defend, even if the barbarians To attack, there is no other use except to slow down their speed a little bit, they can directly confront our army when they step over the five plains, how can we talk about luring the enemy?"
Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously: "What Big Brother Zuo said is very true. Wuyuan is indeed safe to defend, which is well known. But it is by no means useless. Since there is no danger, let's create some 'danger' in it, wouldn't that be enough?"
Create "danger" in Wuyuan City? The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes. How can you create "danger" in this flat earth city? Everyone is staring at him, and no one can understand what he means.
Lin Wanrong sighed leisurely: "In war, we must use the most ruthless means. Although the Turkic cavalry is powerful, my Dahua also has a unique treasure, which makes the barbarians frightened—"
"Gunpowder?! You're talking about gunpowder!" Xu Zhiqing was really smart, and when Lin Wanrong reminded her, she cried out in surprise, and an infinite joy flashed across her face.
It was really a word to wake up the dreamer, Zuoqiu Yu Zongcai and others suddenly realized. This Wuyuan City is a fortress on flat ground. Apart from burying explosives, how can there be "danger"? This strategy is worthless when Xu Zhiqing says it bluntly, but in this complicated battle, how many people are there? Can you think of this? General Lin's thinking is really unconstrained and extremely open.
"That's right, it's explosives." Lin Wanrong let out a long breath and sighed, "I hope that the great Chinese heroes who are buried in Wuyuan City won't blame me for destroying their remains."
"No," Hu Bugui's old face flushed with excitement, "If you can really kill the Hu people, those old brothers will probably kowtow and beg you to bury the explosives. General Lin, how do you have such a brain? I can think of any idea, I, Hu, really admire you."
All the generals showed joy and nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with Lin Wanrong's idea, and the atmosphere in the big tent became much lighter for a while.
Xu Zhiqing pondered and said: "We have plenty of gunpowder. If we can really lure the Hu people into Wuyuan City with a small force, and our army pretends to be defeated and withdraw from Wuyuan, the Turks will definitely pursue them. In this way, the Hu people will be divided into three sections, The ones in the city, the ones in the south, and the ones in the north. Once the gunpowder is ignited and the enemy army from the north is blocked from entering the city, the two enemy troops in the city and those in pursuit will definitely be in our pocket.”
After Xu Zhiqing made such a detailed analysis, everyone realized that there was a mystery in the middle. If it can be implemented smoothly, Dahua will undoubtedly win the first battle. The seemingly useless Wuyuan City was rejuvenated by Lin Wanrong, and it became the most important thing in this battle. The generals suddenly had the feeling of clearing the fog and seeing the bright moon. If this battle is won, it will become a classic battle of Dahua, which will last forever.
Ms. Xu also felt much more relaxed. She looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled charmingly: "General Lin, can I arrange this? What else do you have to add?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "You have finished everything, what else can I add? The only thing I am worried about is that Turkic general Nur, what about Nur—"
Hu Bugui said: "General, it's the Turkic general Nur Suha! This Turkic man's name is like the shit on the grassland, very raw!"
All the generals in the tent laughed loudly, and the atmosphere became more active. Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Yes, yes, it is Nur Stud, brother Hu has a good memory. I am worried about this stud who grew up eating wolf meat. He lacks courage and dare not attack the city, so it will be boring."
Xu Zhiqing nodded: "Nur Soha is one of Badru's three fierce generals. He is arrogant and tough. There is nothing he dare not do! It is extremely difficult to defend the five plains and lure the enemy deep. If it is not handled properly, it will We are trapped in a heavy siege. Therefore, the person who sits in Wuyuan must be a general who is both resourceful and brave. I wonder which general is willing to take on this important task?"
There was silence in the big tent. Miss Xu is right, the most critical part of this battle is to lure the enemy. 60,000 Turkic cavalry attacked wildly, and their feet were filled with gunpowder. If one was not handled properly, it would end in ashes. Who would dare to sit in Wuyuan
Xu Zhiqing's beautiful eyes glanced lightly, and her eyes flicked across everyone's faces one by one, as if asking for everyone's opinions.
Lin Wanrong coughed dryly twice, and said hypocritically: "Or—I'll go! Anyway, I proposed this plan, and no one is more suitable than me."
"No!" Hu Bugui hastily stepped out: "General Lin is the commander-in-chief on the right. How can he be involved in danger so easily? Report to the military adviser, the last general Hu Bugui is willing to go!"
"The last general, Du Xiuyuan, is willing to go!"
Two people stood up one after another on the right side, sharing the worries of the commander in chief, making General Lin face quite a face. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Why do the two elder brothers fight me? Aren't we all the same?"
Zuoqiu couldn't hold back anymore, and looked at his subordinates with a dark face, Yu Zongcai looked at Miss Xu's delicate face, with a hint of fascination flashing in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Mr. willing to go!"
Suddenly three people appeared, Xu Zhiqing hesitated for a while, and said to Zuoqiu and Lin Wanrong: "According to the opinion of the two generals, who should be sent to Wuyuan?"
Zuoqiu said: "These three brothers are the pillars of our army, whoever they send can fulfill their mission. But it is up to the military adviser to make the decision."
Xu Zhiqing nodded, and looked at Lin Wanrong again, obviously asking for his opinion. Lin Wanrong glanced at the faces of Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan, and said seriously: "Brother Du is good at strategy, and Brother Hu is good at fighting the enemy. This time, luring the enemy is not for winning, but I want a clever word. I suggest that Du Xiuyuan get 10,000 elites." Riding into Wuyuan."
Miss Xu pondered for a while, then raised her eyebrows suddenly: "Du Xiuyuan listens!"
"The end is here!"
Xu Zhiqing took out a command arrow: "I command you to lead 10,000 cavalry and garrison Wuyuan. If you attack flexibly, you will definitely lure Nur Suha to attack the city. When the city is broken, don't love to fight, and evacuate immediately!"
"Obey!" Du Xiuyuan shouted, and took the token!
"Yu Zong only listened to the order! I ordered you to command 10,000 cavalry, and to take care of Du Xiuyuan's troops to evacuate. There must be no mistakes!"
Yu Zongcai cupped his fists to receive the command arrow. Miss Xu's complexion was strict, and she said in a clear voice: "The three armies listen to the orders! The first battle tomorrow is when I, Dahua, will be proud. All armies must form a strict formation and obey orders. Lin Sansuo will lead the vanguard, and Zuoqiu will guard the left. , the Chinese army guards the right road, those who advance will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be beheaded! The whole army is united, march forward bravely, and swear to kill the barbarians under their horses!"
"Swear to kill the barbarian under the horse!" All the generals shouted in unison, then left the camp and hurried back to make arrangements.
The setting sun is slowly setting, and far away in the depths of the desert, the dust and sand are like snow, and the yellow sand covering the sky is shrouded in a bloody setting sun with a little darkness. Countless white tents, like small blooming flowers, were scattered among the dust and sand. The neighing of war horses and the wild dance of wind and sand intermingled together, forming a desolate ditty outside the Great Wall. The curling smoke rises unsteadily in the dust, looking from a distance, it looks like a veil dancing under the setting sun.
Lin Wanrong sat on the ground, slowly sketching with his fingers on the thick yellow sand, and after a while, several lifelike pretty faces appeared in front of his eyes.
Qingxuan, Missy, Fairy Ning, Anhu, Ning'er, Qiaoqiao, Yushuang... Shame or smile, anger or anger, each woman comes alive, as if shy and smiling in front of her eyes. The constantly flying dust covered the previous portrait, but he was not discouraged and started from scratch.
"What are you doing?!" Xu Zhiqing's voice was leisurely, as if it sounded right next to her ears. Lin Wanrong turned her head to look, but saw that Miss Xu had changed out of her military uniform at some point, wearing a lotus-colored cardigan dress, her jet-black hair was only slightly wrapped with a silk scarf, simple and casual. A transparent silk scarf was put on her face to cover the wind and sand, her delicate and moist skin was like fine jasper, her eyebrows were slightly tight, her eyes were as moist as the spring rain in March, and the wind and sand blew her soft long hair, which was extremely elegant .
Lin Wanrong looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your clothes, I wouldn't even remember that there were women in the army! Not bad, a little green in the thousands of sands, it's really pretty—at least it's prettier than me! "
"Who compares to you?!" Xu Zhiqing snorted angrily, her face was slightly blush under the setting sun: "Hiding here again to be lazy, have you finished all the arrangements in the camp?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Among the whole army, you are the one who doesn't believe me the most! Do I dare to come out to play until the arrangement is completed? I will not be engaged by your military law!!"
Biting her red lips, Xu Zhiqing hummed slightly, and slowly sat beside him without saying a word.
Lin Wanrong finished drawing the portraits of several wives and wives-to-be before he sighed, lying on the ground tiredly, letting the dust blow on his cheeks, but staring at the sky in a daze.
"Homesick?!" Xu Zhiqing said quietly, shaking off the wind and sand on her skirt carefully. Looking at the brand-new shirts and skirts stained with layers of yellow sand, she felt a little distressed in her eyes.
"I'm thinking about it!" Lin Wanrong said casually with her hands behind her head. Seeing Xu Zhiqing rubbing the dust on her skirt with her small hands, her face was full of distress, she couldn't help but laughed again: "If you feel sorry for you, you shouldn't be wearing this dress, and no one will see it when you put it on. It's windy and sandy everywhere, It takes less than half an hour to change it, and there is no water to wash the clothes - aren't you looking for trouble?"
Xu Zhiqing's pretty face turned cold: "Why do you want to care so much?! I can wear whatever I like, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Is this still the calm female military adviser who gave orders just now? Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and shook her head, suddenly remembering the cruel words she said when she came to visit the mansion that day, and judging by her current appearance, it seems that she doesn't remember anything at all.
A faint fragrance floated over, Xu Zhiqing sat beside him, staring at the setting sun in the depths of the desert, her eyes were slightly moist, and she sighed softly: "The setting sun is so beautiful! I don't know, how many times can I see such a setting sun?!"
"Sunrise and sunset, it happens every day, what can't be seen?!" Lin Wanrong waved his hand and smiled casually.
Xu Zhiqing glanced at him, snorted softly, held up a handful of fine sand with both hands, fingers were slightly loose, and let the light sand slowly sprinkle on her dress.
The fine grains of sand penetrated through the skirt, dyeing the lotus-colored dress with a layer of light yellow. She kept her hands uninterrupted, and sprinkled handfuls of yellow sand on her body, but her eyes were already moist without knowing it.
Lin Wanrong looked puzzled, and wondered: "Miss Xu, what are you doing? Do you wash clothes with sand?! This is the first time I've seen it."
Xu Zhiqing's eyes were slightly closed, and her voice was trembling: "This is called burial sand. According to legend outside the Great Wall, if any infatuated woman puts on the most beautiful clothes and puts herself in the billowing dust, God will give her a promise." , turning her lifelong thoughts into a grain of light sand in the desert."
"It's too profound, I can't understand it!" Lord Lin shook his head and sighed.
Xu Zhiqing caressed her hair beside her ear, and said softly, "Do you know the Taklamakan Desert?"
"I know, I know, it's not too far from here." Lin Wanrong nodded repeatedly.
"For every thought in my life, God will sprinkle a grain of sand for her, so there is the vast Taklimakan!" Xu Zhiqing curled her hands at the bend of her legs, tears falling like rain.
