The Cochin people set up big trees along the hillside to support the possible rolling logs, but now they have accidentally become a passage of stones, so that the Cochin soldiers on the hillside have no way to hide and escape.

The huge boulder slammed into the body of the soldier of Cochin, and the soldier's body rolled down the hillside, and not long after that, he was caught up by the gravel and ran over him.

The top of the hillside was like hell, the fire was raging below, and the boulders were rolling on it, and the soldiers of the cochins cried wolf howls, but they could not escape the nightmare.

Li Mingxin trembled when he looked at this scene, and in his imagination, war was just a handsome flag commanding calmly, where is this kind of scene with only blood and fire.

Seeing Chen Changji next to him with a calm face and motionless, Li Mingxin pointed to the front and asked, "General, those soldiers are dying when they look at them, don't you send someone to save them?" ”

"How to save it? How many people were sent over, it was the same as before, first they were beaten by the stone cannons of the Song army, and when they got to the bottom of the mountain, there was a sea of fire and rolling wood and stones, and they couldn't rush up! ”

Hearing Chen Changji's cold reply, Li Mingxin stammered: "But we must capture Langzhou, and when we come, there is a strict order from the saint that within ten days, we will break Langzhou and Luzhou, put down the rebellion in Sumaozhou, and stabilize the northern states." If you can't even conquer a hillside, how can you explain to the saint? ”

Chen Changji closed his eyes, only to feel like his head was about to explode. Fighting a war is not about what you want, but about what kind of opponent you meet.

Over the years, Jiaozhi has faced tribal forces, even the old enemy Zhancheng is no longer brave, it seems that he has won consecutive battles, but in fact he has not encountered a decent opponent, his combat power has not improved much, but his heart has been raised. Especially Livermar. Due to the proper arrangement, several princes vying for the throne when they ascended the throne were easily pacified. Especially when King Li Bo rebelled in Chang'an Mansion, Li Foma took the soldiers and horses to sweep them away almost as easily as sightseeing, and it became more and more invulnerable.

But now Chen Changji is facing the regular soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, how can the combat power be comparable to those barbarian tribes? It is rare to be able to hold on to the two armies without suffering heavy losses. Still want to win in a few days, are you crazy?

Li Mingxin saw that Chen Changji didn't answer him, his face couldn't hold back, and he became angry: "General Chen, now that you are leading a large army outside, the soldiers are strong and strong, so you don't take the military order of the Holy Lord seriously?" ”

"Speaking of which, do you just want me to fight, you can't even wait a day, can you?" Chen Changji pointed ahead. looked at Li Mingxin, "You also saw it, and now it's like this!" The Song army has been operating in Langzhou for nearly a month, and my soldiers and horses have just arrived, so why fight them! ”

Li Mingxin said coldly: "If you don't have anything to say, you can go back to the Holy Lord and say it!" I was ordered to supervise the army here, just to watch you capture Langzhou, and you must not be unstoppable! ”

"Straight sissy thief. Hit it! In a few days, there is nothing to prepare. It's better to fight to the death! ”

Chen Changji finally made up his mind and said to the adjutant general not far away: "Listen to my military orders, the whole army is arrayed, and prepare to enter the valley to fight a decisive battle with the Song army!" ”

The adjutant general answered, beat his horse and turned around to order the army.

Li Mingxin was taken aback: "You want to lead the army into the valley?" ”

"If you don't enter the valley, will you still attack the slopes on both sides here? It was clear that this was a trap set by the Song army. Three thousand people went up, but they couldn't even make a splash, and they were gone! How many three thousand people do I have? ”

Chen Changji's eyes were red: "Now I can only give it a go, I don't believe that the Song army in the valley can put on any position, it is more difficult to fight than this hillside!" As long as the two armies are against each other. If the swords and soldiers intersect, then there will always be a way! ”

Li Mingxin muttered: "The general doesn't even leave a way for himself to retreat—"

"A way out? Do I have a way out? Before you came, thousands of cavalry of the Song army took my vanguard camp overnight! Do you understand, the Song army has thousands of cavalry in the valley, as long as we retreat here, the cavalry will follow and chase after us, and the whole army will be wiped out if we don't reach Fuliangjiang! Advancing is also death, retreating is also death, it is better to simply let go of your hands and feet, enter the valley and fight to the death with the Song army, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! ”

Li Mingxin didn't know anything about the battle array, and he didn't know if what Chen Changji said was true or not, but looking at the slopes on both sides, he only knew that if the battle was unfavorable after entering the valley, he would really come out alive.

"When two armies fight, how can they be rash? On the battle array, the emphasis is on advancing and retreating, and it is not a wise move for General Chen to make such a desperate bet. ”

Chen Changji saw Li Mingxin talking, his eyes flickered, where did he not know what he meant? sneered: "Since the prison army said so, then leave three thousand people outside the valley, and the prison army will take them to take care of the retreat of the army, and if the war is unfavorable, they will respond in time." ”

"So much the best!" Li Mingxin was waiting for this sentence, "The general can take people to rush and kill, and I will take people to watch Taniguchi." To prevent the Song army from having any tricks, to seal the valley mouth, or to have some ambush, and to encircle our army in front and back, it would be very bad! ”

From the beginning of the attack on the hillside, Chen Changji had already made up his mind to attack Taniguchi directly, and since Li Mingxin did not give him time to prepare various equipment, it was no longer pointless to delay it any longer. is pretentious, just to get rid of Li Mingxin, with such a person by his side, bad things will happen at any time.

As for the people who attack the hillside, it is best to be able to do something, and if they can't do it, they will drag the Song army on the hillside to prevent accidents when attacking Taniguchi.

Where did Li Mingxin know this, he only felt that this Chen Changji was still an acquaintance, so he let himself stay outside the valley and didn't have to follow him into the valley to take risks, and let out a sigh of relief.

But he didn't know that Chen Changji just sneered in his heart, if he failed to attack the valley, with the number of cavalry of the Song army, Li Mingxin would not be able to escape, just a moment earlier and a moment later.

Since last night, the Jiaozhi army has been secretly prepared, and it will not take long for the brigade to complete the formation. The barracks were kept outside the valley, and the camp was not pulled, and he was ready to either enter Langzhou or retreat.

Xu Ping and Sang Yi saw it on the mountain, looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Thousands of calculations, I still underestimated the determination of the main general in front of me, and I actually wanted to attack with all my strength at this time." ”

Sang Yi said: "They still have more than 10,000 horses there, and the valley mouth is less than two miles wide, which is enough to open up the formation, and it is really impossible to look down on." I'll go down the mountain and get ready. In today's battle, I'm afraid that I will finally decide to belong to Langzhou! ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, either we keep Langzhou and eat more than 10,000 people, or——"

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "The matter on the battle formation depends on the inspection and presiding." You lead the army to line up on both sides of Nanlangzhou City, and I will order Gao Daquan to guard your flank. As long as the Jiaozhi army reaches a mile in front of the state city, they will rush to the front two armies to face each other, and they cannot be allowed to get close to the city. ”

Sang Yi agreed, turned and left.
