When the adjutant general heard this order, he almost gave Lin Quan a roll of his eyes, this is too layman, if he sets up a formation, how can he let the cavalry disperse first.

However, Lin Quan had the most power, and the deputy general could only play the flag, let the cavalry retreat, and then formed a glaive formation in front of everyone in the Ghost Mansion.

There was still no movement or action on the side of the Ghost Mansion, and Lin Quan and the others were naturally not in a hurry and waited quietly.

"My lord, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid we will ......," the adjutant general said worriedly, they are tracking, there is no logistics, if this stalemate continues, I am afraid that it will not work.

If this man wants to eat, the horse must also eat, and these war horses cannot simply eat grass to solve the problem.

"How many more days can we last?"

"My lord, if a man has seven days of food, the horse may not be enough, but if the horse eats grass, it can last for seven days until the army arrives."

"So what should we do according to your intentions?"

"My lord, we now have 20,000 cavalry and 60,000 horses, if we can, I think we should form a sharp arrow formation and wear through his hollow array."

"He's so thick, do you think he can pass through?"

Lin Quan looked at the black and oppressive guns in front of him, and said to the deputy general, "Now that we are like this, they don't dare to escape, so we will stalemate and see who can't bear it." ”

Lin Quan also bullied the other side and didn't have many bows and arrows like himself, otherwise they wouldn't dare to stalemate like this.

Now the situation is so deadlocked, and it goes on until nightfall, Lin Quan and they form a rook suspension formation, so that the horses form a protective circle. As for the fact that there was no fire on the opposite side, Lin Quan couldn't see the movement on the other side clearly.

But Lin Quan was not worried at all that these people ran away by the night, to put it bluntly, these people were two-legged, on this plain, if they wanted to outrun the cavalry, it would be a dream. And I'm tired all day during the day, and I have to run at night, so it lasts for a few days, even the iron man can't stand it.

Lin Quan and the others had dinner, and after arranging the vigil, they went to rest.

This was half-asleep, Lin Quan was awakened by the sound of gongs, after Lin Quan woke up, he immediately turned over and got on the horse, only to see a little fire on the opposite side ignited, and then the ground shook slightly.

"Get on the horse, spread out, spread out." Lin Quan had a bad premonition, and not long after they dispersed, they saw the fire approaching, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a cow.

This fire bull array charged, so that Lin Quan and other cavalry were confused, Lin Quan asked people to use torches to beat the flag, but under the interference of the fire bull array, they couldn't command at all.

At this time, there were also soldiers shouting "Kill the prince, catch the bachelor, kill the prince, catch the bachelor." ”

The ghost mansion on the opposite side also took advantage of the chaos to rush over, and then in the midst of the disturbance, some soldiers said, "Catch them in command, catch them in command." ”

Lin Quan looked at the chaotic situation around him, and said to his guards, "Defeat and retreat are inevitable, Mingjin, retreat." ”

The guards hurriedly covered Lin Quan's retreat, and the horse galloped for dozens of miles, and when he couldn't hear the shouting of killing, Lin Quan said to the guards around him, "It's hateful, just a fire bull plan, let me be defeated, it's really a shame." ”

"Changshi, it's not your fault, who would have thought they would do this."

Lin Quan looked at the original camp and said to them, "We should disperse today, and we won't be so badly defeated." These people have horses, and I am afraid that the army will not be able to catch up. ”

Everyone was silent, and Lin Quan said at this time, "This defeat is my own fault, I was careless and did not take precautions, so I was attacked by the enemy." ”

Everyone hurriedly persuaded Lin Quan that victory or defeat was a common thing in soldiers, and Lin Quan didn't need to worry about it.

Lin Quan and the others waited until the day to clean up the old department, and found a problem, those Di knights had all run away, and only the knights of the government army could still be retracted.

This time I reported back, Lin Quan and the others died yesterday and the loss was not serious, but almost all the horses were lost, and now each person is only riding.

An adjutant general said to Lin Quan, "Long history, I think that this defeat is inseparable from the Di people." ”

"This defeat is all my responsibility, if the Di people are interested in helping, they will never join forces with us to pursue, about this matter, Hugh will not mention it again."

Lin Quan also realized that Zhu Zizhen had been prepared, and the queen was definitely unwilling to offend Yu Ting, but for the ghost mansion, it was not a deep hatred. It is estimated that this is their plan, when the time comes, borrow the hands of the generals of the Yu Dynasty and give the horses to the people of the Ghost Mansion, so that even if the court is suspicious, they cannot be held accountable.

It also makes sense why the queen is willing to borrow troops. It seems that all this has been planned for a long time.

Although Lin Quan lamented this defeat on the surface, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that the ghost mansion finally had a glimmer of life.

The adjutant general asked Lin Quan if he wanted to chase him, Lin Quan looked at the more than 6,000 knights around him, and said to the adjutant general, "Six thousand, it's indeed a lot, but there are tens of thousands of people on the other side, and our army is newly defeated, morale is low, and it is useless to catch up?" ”

"So what should adults do?"

"Go tell the big boss the news, let's go find a tribe and cultivate."

Now the soldier was almost frightened, and when he heard Lin Quan's words, he naturally nodded in agreement.

This Youfu army was familiar with Yunge Mansion, so they took Lin Quan and them to a nearby tribe.

The patriarch of this tribe warmly entertained them, but the surrounding Di people were very indifferent to these soldiers, and Lin Quan also issued a ban, strictly prohibiting disturbing the people, and all expenses needed to be purchased. As for nuisances, they will be dealt with by military law.

Lin Quan restrained himself like this, and talked to the tribal patriarch, who had a Central Plains name called Sashando, which was just a transliteration of his original name.

Lin Quan asked Sashanduo, how many ferries are there in the north of this grassland?

"Ferry? Lord Lin, what are you talking about? ”

"That's right, Wei Wei is going to flee to the edge of the North Sea, and then take a boat to the North Sea."

"My lord, there has never been a ferry on the North Sea." Sashando told Lin Quan that there was ice on the shore of the North Sea, and the ship did not dare to approach at all, even if the people of the Xuanwu Kingdom wanted to go ashore, it would be from Youyan Mansion.

"Then there's no place to get on the boat?"

Sashando said that there are several harbors, but those places can barely allow small boats to dock in the summer, like tens of thousands of people in the ghost mansion have to pass through there, I am afraid it will take a month.

When Lin Quan heard this, he said to Sashando, "Do many people know about this matter?"

"Except for a few of our northern tribes, not many people know about it, and it seems that Wei Wei's group of people have been deceived."

Lin Quan thought it was impossible, how could Zhu Zizhen, such a smart person, be deceived?

But he had a vague thought in his heart, but he quickly put this thought aside, he didn't think that Zhu Zi was really that kind of person.

"In this way, the people of the Ghost Mansion are to no avail when they go to the shore of the North Sea?"

"This little old man can't guarantee it, but adults can ask the tribal patriarchs around them, and they all know that at this time, it is difficult to sail on the shore of the North Sea."

Lin Quan said that the ice layer would be an obstacle for martial arts masters.

"My lord, we don't know the martial arts of your Central Plains people, so this little old man doesn't dare to say it."

Lin Quan didn't ask about this, but asked Sashando what he thought of the regent.

Sashanduo bluntly said that although the regent is an outsider, he is a good monarch for the Di people, since the establishment of the Yunge Mansion, the Di people have no longer have the glory of their ancestors, but after Qian Duoduo came, he did these things, and the Di people began to become rich, and many people missed Qian Duoduo as the regent.

"Haha, it's a pity that your regent is too hardworking, alas, it's really jealous of talents, gods are jealous of talents." Lin Quan's cat cried and pretended to be merciful, and continued to knock on the side. This Sashando didn't have much scheming, and was soon told the truth by Lin Quan, who couldn't help but have a murderous intention in his heart when he heard that they were still dreaming of returning to their previous lives.

However, this matter has to be taken slowly, Lin Quan and they still have a place to borrow from them, and there is no problem in exterminating this small tribe, the problem is how to deal with the follow-up.

Lin Quan didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so he could only hope that the Di people of this tribe could take the initiative to jump out and make himself find an excuse.

What Lin Quan was worried about didn't happen, although these Di people were indifferent to them, but they were not hatred, Lin Quan and they were also entertained by good students in the past three days, and the two sides were at peace.

On the morning of the third day, a soldier arrived at the tribe and conveyed an order for Lin Quan and the others to go and join the army of the six princes.

When Lin Quan and the others set off, Lin Quan also wrote an IOU, which was used for these days, and Lin Quan gave the money according to the agreement.

It's just that he has no money on him, so he can only calm Wei Wei at that time and let the prefect of Yunge Mansion come to pay him back.

Lin Quan joined the army in the afternoon, and after the convergence, the army continued to advance, and Lin Quan saw that there was no logistics, so he asked the six princes what was going on.

The six princes said that in the prairie, the logistical loss is too great, and they are now half eating and bringing their own, and half relying on tribal supplies.

When the sixth prince said this, he sighed at Lin Quan and said, "Lin Changshi, this time I am afraid that the cost of this expedition is tens of millions of taels of silver, and the tax payment in a year is half empty in this expedition." ”

"Your Highness, the minister has a word that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Lin Changshi, please speak."

Lin Quan said that he had set up a military town, and after hearing it, the six princes said to Lin Quan, "This method is simple to say and easy to implement, where is this military town set up, how to divide the official field, and if there is something in the county, how to deal with it?" ”

Lin Quan replied one by one, according to the current situation, if there is something in the county, he can only open the city to surrender, or be temporarily conscripted. The Xiang army is too scattered, but it can't be done.

As for the place of establishment, you can refer to the setting of the military state of the Chen Dynasty, delete the complicated and simplify, and set it up according to the needs.

Guantian doesn't have to worry about this, it can be exchanged at that time, but there is not much of a problem. Moreover, the grain stored in the military town and used by the military town do not need to be in the county warehouse as it is now.
