On the third day after Shen Leng sent Que Yuesheng back, the scouts sent back the news that the Houque army was packing up the camp as if preparing to pull out, which was the most normal reaction of Urdun, of course, it was not ruled out that it was deliberately made to show the Ning army, more scouts were sent out to keep an eye on the movements of the camp of the Houque army, once the Houque army really withdrew, then it would be the day of the decisive battle between the Ning army and the rest of the people.

It's already warm in spring, Shen Leng saw the grass outside the big tent, although the grass is not high, but the ground has been paved with a layer, people are really a very strange thing, Shen Leng has always felt that people are very contradictory.

"You say, do people like green sè?"

Shen Leng asked Chen Ran.

Chen Ran looked at the grass along Shen Leng's gaze: "I like it, if the landscape is not green, who will be in love with the landscape, although I don't know why, but I will feel very comfortable looking at the green sè in my eyes, especially when I go to the grassland to see the endless green, it really makes people open-minded and want to shout." ”

"Then why do people use their favorite face to express what they don't like?"

"For example?"

"Hats."

“......”

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng: "How did you come up with such a philosophical question." ”

"Because I don't think Que Yuesheng looks like a Houque person at all."

Chen Ran: "The story about Que Yuesheng is already very sad, if you add something more, then there is no humanity." ”

Shen Leng: "Then stop here." ”

Chen Ran asked, "When is the decisive battle?" ”

"Wait."

Shen Leng looked at the sky, but Chen Ran didn't understand why he looked at the sky.

In recent days, Shen Leng is also very strange, he will always go out to chat with some local herdsmen, a chat is half an hour, and after chatting, he will give some gold and silver things, although not much, but the herdsmen are naturally happy to take it, at first Chen Ran thought that Shen Leng was buying the hearts of the people, so that the Tubo people did not hate the Ning people so much, but the effect of this practice is not very large, and the speed of transmission is far from fast enough.

"What are you waiting for?"

Chen Ran asked curiously.

"Wait for the wind."

Shen sneered: "When the wind comes, it is a decisive battle." ”

The Tibetan royal court.

Galocleo stood on the city wall and looked outside, the city wall of the royal court was tall and strong enough, so he was not too worried that the Ning army could easily break through here, he looked at the camp of the Houque Kingdom, and abandoned Nie Di three times, but the Prime Minister of the Houque State Urdun seemed to be determined to leave, and Galoclius guessed that it was probably the son of Uldun who was released by the Ning people, so he had already paid enough attention to the Ning man named Shen Leng, and now he had to pay more attention to it.

"Abandon Nie Di."

"The minister is here."

"Do you know what a good general needs to know?"

"The time and place are favorable, and the art of war is in battle."

"You're right, it's not the most important thing, the most important thing is the human heart."

Galoculo looked at the camp of Houque State and said: "Houque people are leaving, which means that Shen Leng has released Ultun's son back, and if he doesn't let it go sooner or later, he is letting Ultun make a choice, Ultun has no home, but he still has an army, hundreds of thousands of elite troops are enough for Ultun to build another foundation in the Western Regions, everything can be started from scratch, and if Ultun stays to fight a decisive battle with the Ning army, there will be nothing." ”

Abandon Nie's face is ugly: "The minister went to see Urdun three times, the first time he was full of promises, and the second time he saw him, he said that he was already preparing for a decisive battle, but yesterday I went to see him again, and he excused himself and said that he was unwell and did not see the minister." ”

"Let him go?"

Abandon Nie asked Galoclius.

"Or else?"

Galacques smiled: "Shen Leng is the person I have ever seen who is best at fighting, he is not necessarily the best at training, nor is he necessarily the most agile mind, but he knows what war is best, and he understands what war is before fighting...... People's hearts, he used an inconspicuous little person to control the situation of the war, who would have thought that the person who would influence this war would be the son of Urdon, you said that you would not let the people go, so what should I do? Let's send troops to fight a battle with the hundreds of thousands of troops in Urdon first? ”

Qi Nie sighed: "The minister is just unwilling. ”

"I'm not reconciled."

Galocleo said: "You go and prepare, tomorrow you will lead the army to attack Shen Leng's army." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Nie sighed involuntarily: "Attack? ”

"Yes."

Qi Nie Di was shocked in his heart: "Your Majesty, at this time, we have a strong defense of the royal court, why do we take the initiative to attack?" ”

"The wind is coming."

Galok looked at Nie Di slightly: "Compared to Shen Leng, you are really too far behind, why did Shen Leng in the east and Tang Baobao in the north stop?" Because they are waiting for the wind, every year at the end of March and the end of April there will be hurricanes on the side of the Tubo royal court, the wind coming from the northeast, I personally talked to the Tubo people, have you talked about it? You know how to be a general but you don't do it, you say that you have to understand the geography of the heavens, but you only know in your head that if the wind comes, the Ning people's stone throwers can shoot farther with the power of the hurricane, and the range of the feather arrows will be even farther, and the most important thing is that they use the wind to turn the royal court into a sea of fire, and they will launch a fierce attack from the northeast, they will not be wrong. ”

Galactic sighed: "Abandon Nie Xi, I still think highly of you." ”

Qi Nie's face was hot for a while, and there was also a burst of fear in his heart.

Your Majesty, you are really disappointed in him.

"If the wind comes, Shen Leng's tens of thousands of Ning troops will attack immediately, they occupy a favorable position, force Shen Leng's army back before the wind comes, I will do my best to deal with Tang Baobao's hundreds of thousands of troops, this battle still has a chance of winning, if Shen Leng's army first controls the direction of the wind outside the city......"

He looked at Nie Di, "Don't let me down again. ”

Ningjun camp.

Since a few days ago, Shen Leng ordered the soldiers to start digging a trench outside the camp, the soldiers were puzzled, but they still carried it out, if it was to be used to attack the city, it was still fifty miles away from the Tubo royal court, and how long would it take to dig the trench before it could be dug under the royal court.

"The trench should not be too wide, one person should be shoulder width plus two fists."

Chen Ran led the people to constantly patrol the open space outside the camp, shouting as they walked.

"The general's military order only needs to dig the width of one person's shoulder and add two punches, and the person can walk around in the trench, and the two can pass sideways."

Such a trench is not easy to dig, the width is only so large, and it needs to be dug nearly a person deep, and the shoulders above are required to be exposed, what use can this kind of trench be? With a trench, it would be difficult for the enemy to storm the soldiers and withdraw if they wanted to.

However, they were convinced of Shen Leng, and if the general said that it was useful, it would definitely be useful.

Sitting on the high slope in the distance, Shen Leng raised the kettle and took a sip, and the second Taoist pointed to the front: "Why are you letting people dig like this?" ”

"I want to bring the sea water over and flood the Tubo royal court, start digging from here, and dig to the eastern frontier of Daning."

Shen Leng replied seriously.

The second Daoist glanced at him.

"I'm sorry, but I actually want to dig a latrine."

"The width of your pit is one shoulder and two fists? Do you have to pull a poop? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a trumpet, and in the distance, a scout galloped back, and the sound of the horn became louder and louder, which was a warning of an enemy attack.

"Here we are."

Shen Leng stood up and patted the soil on his buttocks: "Although the digging is not as much as expected, but it is almost the same, give the order, let all the people who are still digging the trench enter the trench that has been dug, and all weapons are ready." ”

Shen Leng looked in the other direction, their stone-throwing truck position was less than a few zhang away from the trench group, in addition, Shen Leng also let people build a lot of building cars, these building cars are more than four zhang high, so that more than ten archers can fire arrows on the building car, with the sound of the horn continues to sound, the army in the camp is also rapidly assembled.

Blackeye let out a breath: "You guessed that the Sabbatarians would take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Galocle is a man who can fight, and when it comes to war, you have to ask people, the sky, and the earth, and I have asked, and he must have asked, and if I am waiting for the wind, he will not let me wait for the wind."

Shen Leng grabbed the iron tire bow: "Let's go." ”

The two Daoists and the black eyes followed Shen Leng left and right, and strode towards the outside of the camp.

At least six or seven thousand soldiers of the Ning army lowered their bodies in the trench, and if you looked at it from a distance, you couldn't see anyone at all, and even if you couldn't see a ditch from a distance, the army of the resting people came in a mighty way, like a torrent rolling up against the ground.

"They are the best at using a catapult and they don't attack rashly."

Shen Leng boarded a building cart and raised his clairvoyance to look ahead: "Their fighting method is actually very simple, first use the catapult to bombard indiscriminately and then launch a fierce attack, but the catapult needs to enter the range to threaten our camp, so I will push their range out and fight this battle outside the camp." ”

Seeing the resting army rolling over, the war drums on the side of the Ning army suddenly sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth.

With a snort, all the soldiers of the Ning army in the trench stood up, and the feather arrows were released into the distance, and the rest people in front were caught off guard and were shot over, they immediately stopped and began to shoot back, while the Ning army's stone throwing cart smashed the big stones and gunpowder bags over, and none of the rest people outside this line wanted to come alive, the range was calculated, and the rest people immediately suffered a big loss.

"Bring them down!"

Abandon Nie and snorted.

After about half an hour, the catapult of the Sabbatarians began to frantically smash the big stones over, trying to smash the Ning soldiers in the trench back, but the trench was too narrow, and the stones they threw were wider than the trench.

A soldier of the Ning Army squatted in the trench and watched the big stone above his head fly over, and patted his chest: "Look, it flew over." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a big stone fell on top of his head, and the dust was flying, but fortunately the body was stuck there and did not hit him, and his face turned a little white with fright, and people understood why the general asked them to dig such a narrow trench.

"I've calculated the distance."

Shen Leng, who was standing on the building car, pointed forward: "Our stone-throwing truck is behind the trench group, and the enemy's stone-throwing truck has to be next to the trench if it wants to hit our stone-throwing truck, but how can it be so easy for them to get close to the edge of the trench, their stone-throwing truck can smash our camp, but if you want to hit the camp, the location is exactly in the trench group, even if they storm over, they will find that there is no place for them to support the stone-throwing truck, all of them are trenches, and they will fill it in?" I won't give them a chance, and I'll get the soldiers to withdraw after a while, and then I'll hand over the trench to the Sabbatarians. ”

"Give the trench to the Sabbatarians?"

The black eye didn't understand: "Isn't that why we're uncomfortable?" ”

"Just wait and see."

The corners of Shen Leng's mouth raised: "Ever since I met the Anximen in Southern Xinjiang, I've been thinking about how to beat them, and I've been thinking about it for a few years. ”
