Chapter 511 A Thousand Miles Journey (5)

Spring thunder was rolling, and on the north bank of the Zhuozhang River, a group of people fled in panic, so that the red flag with the word "deposed" was abandoned in the mud and trampled on by others.

"The pontoon bridge was burned, can the chief still use the Qi seal to freeze the river?" Someone asked anxiously, and it was to help the leader Li Ding.

"It's not enough." Zhang Xing, the leader of the gang, was embarrassed but calm. "Now that things have happened, let's not worry about the pursuers. Let's jump up together and escape back in separate ways!"

Several people's faces were pale, but almost in an instant, several leaders, including Li Ding, just gritted their teeth, jumped up desperately, and escaped first. This escape directly attracted the attention of the battlefield behind them, and a huge

The golden sword appeared out of thin air, as if cutting through the void, and then appeared on the Zhuozhang River.

The next moment, the golden knife fell to the mortal world, cutting off the Zhuozhang water out of thin air. The subsequent water flow continued, and the water level immediately dropped. However, the upstream water flow accumulated in mid-air, and the water level became higher and higher, but did not spread to both sides.

Go, it's magical.

At this time, a person flashed over the desperate Zhang Xing and others, and smiled coldly. His words were cruel, and he was obviously venting his anger: "Zhang Xing, did you ever think that I would break through the Grand Master on the battlefield? Did you ever think that I was the Grand Master?

Fake surrender? Did you ever think that the Youzhou Army would march out to cross the river to rescue you? And you still have some vitality, but is there still a way to survive? Bai Sanniang was lured to Juma River by Wei Wenda, but can she still rush back to rescue you?"

Zhang Xing raised his head and looked at the man in the air with an expressionless expression: "Xue Changxiong, don't think you can sit back and relax if you get rid of me today. Chen Bin is in Yecheng, and Dou Lide has returned with his entire army. The two of them cooperate sincerely. You

Sooner or later, you will still die in this river! The winner is still the gang!"

"Just the two of them?! How can a subordinate who can be called a domestic slave and a bandit who can only eat water and grass in Gaoji Po defeat me? Not to mention, everyone knows that these two people are incompatible with each other.

No!" Xue Changxiong only felt ridiculous.

"The same person, under you, is just a personal official, while under me, he is the husband-in-law who is in charge of more than 20 counties and is in charge of Tai'a; the same person, in your eyes, is a grass bandit eating grass in a high chicken park, but in my eyes, he is

Leaders of the rebel army who can unite the whole of Hebei: Even if they have differences, but since you want to get rid of me, even if I die, my ambition will still remain, they will definitely be able to put aside their past grudges, unite sincerely, and make a comeback!" Zhang Xing stood there with no trace of anger at all.

Not afraid.

Xue Changxiong was furious, blood surged up, he raised his golden sword and stabbed straight down, cutting Zhang Xing in two on the spot, but it was still not enough, he just cursed: "You people can know the secrets of heaven and people's hearts, right?"

!Let me see if you can still know?!"

After scolding me, my energy and blood dropped. I don't know why, but I felt uneasy. I believed that sooner or later I would fall into the hands of Dou Lide and Chen Bin, two people who were once considered mud under my feet.

.

However, this kind of worry has just arisen. Suddenly, as the life of Zhang Xing's body under his feet was cut off, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, hail, sun and moon appeared together, Xue Changxiong's face moved slightly, and he woke up in his heart. This picture

As expected, Xing is a destined person, and his actions are actually going against the will of heaven... But he doesn't seem to be much surprised?

In panic, a gust of wind blew with strong rain, which actually penetrated his body-protecting Qi, causing the newly ascended Grand Master to shiver, and then he woke up from the couch.

It was a mixture of joy and anger, but it was just a dream.

However, Xue Changxiong, who broke out in a cold sweat, knew full well that he had not become a grand master in a dream, but was also an established master. How could he not know what whim was?

Having this dream means that things are about to change dramatically, and your family's fate may be decided soon.

However, after only taking a few breaths on the couch and listening to the chirping of insects outside, Xue Changxiong felt helpless again... Because not to mention that he had sensed it, even any general in the city or outside the city would know what determines fate.

The time has come.

It is now late at night on March 11th. Since the day before yesterday, three of the four nearest counties around Hejian have fallen into the hands of thieves. Yesterday, the main forces of the army were in place to complete the semi-encirclement. This morning they have been mobilized in large numbers.

, we will be able to arrive at Hejian City tomorrow evening, and the main force of the Youzhou Army has also appeared on the other side of the Hutuo River dozens of miles away. If we want to support them, it will be tomorrow.

Life, death, honor and disgrace are tomorrow, and only tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xue Changxiong managed to cheer up, got up from the couch, put on his clothes and went outside the house. He wanted to send someone to call Murong Zhengyan, but after hesitating, he decided not to disturb the man with disabled legs.

Instead, they only called their youngest son Xue Wanquan and adopted son Luo Xin to review the plan for tomorrow.

The two of them were still awake at this time, and were even a little excited. They also looked proud after seeing Xue Changxiong.

"Don't worry, father. Tomorrow's morning meeting will only show a conciliatory gesture. First, we will explain the truth clearly and let everyone move forward and retreat together. Then in the morning, we will release the treasury and give generous rewards. In the afternoon, we will inform the entire army that the thieves are not satisfied with us emptying the treasury and want to

Everyone will return the money and be killed on the eleventh... After the noise starts, we will leave the city together." Xue Wanquan came first to speak. "With all the plans, there will never be any mistakes. I have just found the person who will make the noise tomorrow morning.

"

"Before noon tomorrow, all the infantry of the Youzhou Army will arrive at the Hutuo River, come to support us from the ferry we have reserved, and appear on our sides and rear, while the 20,000 most critical cavalry will use their mobility advantages to bypass the river crossing today.

Li Ding's troops crossed the river from Anping behind Raoyang and launched a major flank attack." Luo Xin also narrated immediately.

"There is a reason why Li Ding is stuck in Raoyang. The Hutuo River in Raoyang happens to be the gathering point of tributaries. There is only one main trunk to the east, but there are three or four tributaries to the west... To cross the river from Anping, you have to cross it continuously.

Will it be too late for these tributaries?" Xue Changxiong symbolically raised some doubts about the plan that he was already familiar with.

"No." Luo Xin was full of confidence. "I have personally investigated those tributaries. The water has not risen in spring. From the Hutuo River to the river, you can easily cross by pontoon bridges. The shoals of those tributaries

It’s totally possible for the cavalry to swim across!”

At this point, Luo Xin paused and continued to comfort him: "Don't worry, Lord foster father, I will leave immediately and go to the north of Hutuo River to find my father-in-law Wei Wenda and personally lead his cavalry... I just took ten thousand steps back and said, then

The water in several tributaries happens to rise tonight, so I can take them back in time and cross the river from the north of Hejian City."

"That's right." Xue Wanquan also quickly interrupted. "Father, this is a foolproof plan for my sworn brother to do. You don't have to worry."

Xue Changxiong wanted to say something else, but after hearing the perfect plan, he gave up the discussion... because he knew very well, from the beginning, that even if the plan was fully implemented, the final battle would only have a three-point chance of victory.

In fact, there will inevitably be turmoil in this planning process, and the Youzhou Army will definitely not be able to be fully in place in time. Tomorrow, when the Hejian Camp regroups and counterattacks, there will definitely be scattered people, poor command, and escapes and defections before the battle.

Where does it come from?

However, war has its own laws. Once it starts to operate, it will abandon some things other than war. Therefore, the army cannot be perfect. It can always leave him a chance to fight, so he wants to fight.

Just fight with all your life to avoid being humiliated.

But now, his son and adopted son are still thinking about everything, which clearly shows that their view of the war itself is ridiculously naive, and it also makes Xue Changxiong really shaken... I have seen it clearly and made up my mind.

But do you really want to ruin the future and lives of these young nephews for your own selfish reasons?

What do they know?

After struggling for a moment, Xue Changxiong suppressed all his thoughts and looked at his adopted son Luo Xin, whom he still liked: "In that case, Ashin should leave now. He must follow the main force of the Youzhou Army cavalry."

Luo Xin didn't dare to neglect, he just cupped his hand and hurried away.

Regardless of how difficult it was for Xue Changxiong to sleep tonight, Luo Xin only said that Luo Xin left the city and galloped with his horse. In order to verify the pontoon bridge in the north of Hejian City, he did not even choose to leap across the river to change horses. Instead, he rode the horse and walked across the bridge in person at night.

We even went back and forth on these pontoon bridges several times before continuing our journey north.

At this time, the time has not yet reached the third update.

In fact, when Luo Xin arrived at a town fifteen miles east of Boye City and met Qi Hongshan, the former governor of Youzhou Camp, General Zhenwei, and the deputy commander of the cavalry army who was born in the Eighteenth Cavalry, it happened to be

It's time for the third watch.

What surprised Luo Xin was that although the entire town that served as the military camp fell into silence, the tall general who was born in Hongshan did not fall asleep. Instead, he sat upright on the high slope that served as the Chinese army's tent.

The small courtyard above is also brightly lit.

"The young general doesn't know that Li Ding has a small army. After crossing the river, he should only defend, but he actually did the opposite and took the initiative to attack us. To the southwest, two generals, Feng and Han, had sentries to report, saying

It was a night raid." Seeing the other party taking the initiative to ask, Qi Hongshan sighed and told the whole story. "I can only say that this Li Ding is really not a good person. This move uses offense as defense. It is really powerful. Let's tomorrow

It will be difficult to get rid of him."

Luo Xin's face was extremely expressionless... Of course, the current situation is not that bad, and it is even reasonable, but when thinking about the word "perfect" that he just said to his adoptive father, this reasonable situation becomes even more reasonable.

It makes people feel ashamed... How can it be so safe?

No reasonable situation can be drawn out.

What's more, just talking about military affairs, relying on Li Ding's skills, tomorrow's detour around Raoyang and Anping, will the large flank attack be blocked? Even if it is not blocked, many soldiers and horses will be entangled, right?

"Young General, there is no need to be so worried." Qi Hongshan understood what the other party was thinking and came to comfort him. "According to previous information, Li Ding only supervised seven or eight battalions this time, two of which were still upstream, and

They are still a mixed group of infantry and cavalry. If they really move tomorrow, they won’t be able to stop many of us, but the large cavalry can still pass by."

Luo Xinxin knew full well that in the middle of the night, he was not qualified to get involved in this kind of military turmoil, so he nodded casually, but couldn't help but ask: "Uncles Feng and Han should be able to stop Li Ding, right?

There won’t be any more trouble, right?”

"I don't want to hide it from the Young General." Qi Hongshan pondered for a moment, but then laughed dryly. "If I think Old Feng and Old Han can withstand it safely, why should I be so vigilant? Don't forget, they still have three Grandmasters

Woolen cloth!"

In the brightly lit tent, Luo's confidence sank.

"Xiong Bonan was the number one master in Hebei in his early years. Others don't know it, but General Wei and I are his acquaintances. We have known each other for almost twenty years. His cultivation and skills are only above General Wei; Niuhe Niu Du Gong

He was recognized as the number one grandmaster in the early years, but I haven't heard of anyone being injured, so he can't survive. As for Bai Sanniang, the rumors are a bit mysterious, but according to the rumors, the Thorn Dragon is fake, but it can kill Dongyi people.

A master can never do anything fake." Qi Hongshan recounted his family treasures and was obviously helpless. "Xue Changxiong is the coach, and the Hejian Camp is full of panic. He can only stay in Hejian City, and the Gang does not have so many restrictions...

If someone determines that our Youzhou soldiers are the biggest threat and lets three masters lead the team to directly defeat the two camps of Feng and Han, there will be nothing they can do to save them... However, General Han's camp is very close and can be used at night.

You should be able to see the true energy of a grandmaster at that level...but not yet."

Luo Xin just nodded casually, and was about to ask something more when he was suddenly stunned. Then he and Qi Hongshan almost looked to the southwest of the town, and then their expressions changed.

"What do you mean?" Luo Xin asked nervously. "Did the defense troops arranged by my uncle come back? Or did the two uncles Feng and Han withdraw because they couldn't hold on any longer?"

"Light the fire immediately." Qi Hongshan ignored Luo Xin and ordered directly to other people in the yard. "Let the soldiers in the market town stand up and put on their clothes in order according to regulations. The order cannot be disordered. Drive the war horses to this part of the Chinese army and distribute them to various departments.

In each part, only a few hundred war horses are left in the north of the town... Let Wang Han make preparations, and when the battle is ahead, he will directly lead his men to mount their horses, and attack from behind! "

Luo Xin felt a little relieved when he saw that the other party responded well.
To be continued...
