Among the three armies, the Hundred Battles Army is undoubtedly the strongest, and the Heyang Army is the weakest.

Rather than this, it is better to give full play to the advantages of the Hundred Battles Army, use the Hundred Battles Army as the front, tear apart the Liang Army's military formation, and the Heyang Army will follow up and expand the results, so that there will be a chance to turn losses into profits.

Recognizing this, Li Congjing decisively issued a military order for Meng San to exert his strength.

"Drumsticks!" Li Congjing walked to the war drums, took the drumsticks from the drummers, and beat the war drums himself.

The passionate and surging drums sounded rhythmically, and the heavy hammer blows fell on the hearts of every sergeant, shocking people's hearts.

The glaive array becomes the edge of the array, it is very simple, the original convex moon is further convex as the front, and the two wings can be retracted into the rear array, and compared with the glaive array, the popularity of the blade array in the army is tantamount to the pinyin learned before literacy, which is more basic. The army changed formations, and Li Congjing did not have many options, but he would give full play to the leeway he had.

In many cases, the simplest is often the most practical.

Li Congjing said in public more than once that Meng San was the most brave in the Hundred Battles Army, and he was the most able to fight without fear of death, and the tepid style of play of the previous phalanx and the Glaive Formation made Meng San, who was burning at one point, quite impatient, and heard Li Congjing's military orders and drums, he was not only not afraid, but his fighting spirit was boiling, and without saying a word, he led his troops to rush forward.

The Tang army's military formation gradually sharpened and was embedded in the Liang army's formation.

After the Liang army was arrayed, Dai Siyuan saw the changes in the Tang army's military formation, laughed, and said to the left and right: "Desperately exert force, it seems that Li Congjing is going to work hard, this kid is poor in donkey skills after all." ”

After laughing a few times, Dai Siyuan waved his hand and said: "Commander Liu has been holding back in the formation for so long, it's time for him to exert his power, pass the order, let him meet the Tang army's front, and beat the Tang army back!" ”

At the head of Mengzhou City, after the drums were finished, Li Congjing returned the drumsticks to the drummer, turned around himself, and continued to observe the battlefield.

The Hundred Battles Army and the Heyang Army have completed the change of formation, and the one led by Meng San is the front, and the spirit is extremely strong, breaking into the Liang army's formation for twenty steps, the situation is very good, and the Liang army can't find the north, and there is great hope for breaking the formation.

At this moment, the Liang army's formation changed, and the Liang army in front of Mengsan's department suddenly dispersed, leaving a passage, and there was a burst of Liang army, which also formed a sharp arrow formation, facing Mengsan to meet him. In an instant, it was like two white sharks in a big river, colliding together.

It's not the waves that roll up, it's the blood flowers. Li Congjing stood tall, so he could see clearly, Meng San's front, the indomitable momentum, was actually blocked by this Liang army, the two were killed together, and no one could help anyone, entangled for a while, and the fight was fierce.

In the entire battlefield, the Tang army and the Liang army had been completely in contact at this time, the two were fighting in one place, the situation was stalemate, and neither side could evacuate safely.

The edge and arrow formation is the most taboo without a front, and once the sharpness is lost, the military array will be in trouble. At present, although the three divisions of Meng still have the upper hand in the fight with the Liang army that is coming, they can no longer smoothly tear apart the Liang army's formation as before.

Sharp arrows, defeated.

Li Congjing understands this very clearly.

At this point, the two armies have entered a melee situation.

Famous general, the weight of these two words, Li Congjing finally realized how heavy it is. Dai Siyuan has been famous for a long time, and it is not unreasonable in the end, with the defeated army, he fought back in a desperate situation, and this battle was not beautiful. With Yangba and Jianshanzhai District, the Liang army intercepted the Huaizhou reinforcements, which can be described as a stroke of genius.

The Liang army separated from Yangba and Jianshanzhai is to lose these two cities, so it doesn't matter, as long as they help Dai Siyuan win the current victory, even if they win the general trend. And the Liang army in these two cities, when intercepting Huaizhou reinforcements, they don't even need to win, as long as they delay for some time.

How could such a thing have been foreseen?

And the mystery of arranging troops and commanding and dispatching lies in this.

At present, after the two armies outside the city fall into a melee, it is obvious how the outcome of the battle will go. Li Congjing understands, Dai Siyuan understands, and anyone with a discerning eye understands.

Tao Yaoyao walked up to Li Congjing, looked at him, and said with a seriousness that he had never felt before: "Military Intelligence Department, escort the military commander out of the city!" ”

Escort the commander out of the city. These six words struck Li Congjing's heart hard.

Li Congjing was still staring at the battlefield, motionless, like a statue.

"Marshal, you can't do anything, please leave the city quickly!" The platoon envoy did not have any other thoughts because of Li Congjing's miscalculation, he said anxiously: "Once the army is defeated, the Liang army takes advantage of the situation to enter the city, and when the time comes, all parties will change, and it will not be easy to leave!" ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." Tao Yaoyao looked at Li Congjing deeply, the meaning in his eyes was indescribable, but his deep affection and sincerity were fully revealed, "Today's small setback, the next day to regain strength, kill back!" You have a hundred battle armies, a military intelligence department, and a mountain of ordnance in Huaizhou, why can't you be ashamed? ”

All the voices didn't seem to have entered Li Congjing's ears, he stared at the battlefield silently, didn't say a word, didn't move a step, but his eyes were still solemn, obviously not panicked and lost his soul.

Li Youcai hesitated for a while, but after all, he took a step forward, and said to Li Congjing with great determination and will: "Military commander, people have good luck, things have success or failure, and there is a difference for a while, so you don't have to worry about it!" If the military commander leaves the city, although he has no talent, he is willing to follow the military commander! ”

Seeing that Li Congjing never expressed her position, Tao Xiaoyao finally became anxious, and she said loudly: "Li Congjing, you are a person with great ambitions and ambitions, for the general, how high your heart is, how broad your mind must be, can't you even hold a small failure in your heart?" I have heard that with the wisdom and courage of General Li, there is also the loss of Hu Liuhe, and with the talent of Sun Wu, there is also the battle of the defeated army. ”

After saying that, Tao Yaoyao bent down, bowed half-kneel, and pleased: "Please leave the city quickly!" ”

"Please leave the city quickly!" Lin Ying also knelt down, "I'm willing to fight to the death for the commander!" ”

"Please leave the city quickly, we are willing to fight to the death for the commander!" At the head of the city, all the soldiers of the hundred battles bowed down and knelt.

Li Congjing finally turned around and looked at the people around him.

The Hundred Battles Army, the Military Intelligence Department, fused his life's work, poured his countless feelings and expectations, and now, at a critical juncture, they did not disappoint Li Congjing, they would rather fight to the death, but also escort him, the defeated military commander, to leave the city safely and regain his strength.

It's loyalty, but it's also affection.

Li Congjing's throat was as hard as a rock.

The friendship of life and death, the righteousness of the battlefield, its charm cannot be appreciated by those who are not authorities.

"Your affection for Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai's gratitude!" Li Congjing spoke, his voice was a little out of tune, he suddenly laughed, the laughter was loud and heroic, full of temperament, full of manly spirit, "But do you think I have lost this battle?" ”

"Ben Shuai tells you to wait, Ben Shuai is not defeated! Not only is it undefeated, but it is also a chance to win! Li Congjing couldn't stop smiling, and he smiled more and more happily.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Li Congjing like ghosts.

Their eyes are telling Li Congjing very frankly: I think you have gone crazy.

Li Congjing pointed to the outside of the city and said proudly: "You bend down, so you can't see it, then let Ben Shuai tell you that my reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Only then did everyone get up in shock and hurriedly look out of the city.

A person rushed over, leaned down in front of Li Congjing and reported: "Marshal Qiqi, General Peng lined up, General Guo broke the enemy, only one look, killed the two generals of the Liang army who intercepted the army, and the Liang army fled." Now, the army has arrived, and the subordinates are here to report! ”

Tao Yaoyao and the others could see clearly that on the official road outside the city, the dense new army of the Hundred Battles Army came out, and under the leadership of the two generals, they were about to kill the Liang army.

Li Congjing laughed, "Peng Zushan, Guo Wei, the blessing of this handsome general!" ”

After that, he looked at everyone and pouted: "I have a military intelligence office scattered throughout Huaizhou and Mengzhou, even if the Liang army tries to intercept and kill my reinforcements, the reinforcements can also know in advance and deal with them calmly!" With the wisdom of Peng and Guo, how can they not know the urgency of coming to help quickly? ! ”

"Dai Siyuan, a famous general, a capable person, so what?" Li Congjing looked out of the city, "He is alone, how can he resist my Huanghuang military might?" ”

Everyone bowed and hugged their fists, "The military commander is wise!" ”

………………………

When the new army of the Hundred Battles Army arrived, it was when the situation on the battlefield outside the city was stalemate, Peng Zushan and Guo Wei led the army into the battle, and defeated the Liang army with the momentum of a tiger fighting a rabbit and the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Of the 7,000 Liang troops, less than 1,000 people were able to withdraw one after another, and followed Dai Siyuan to flee south in a hurry, and the rest were killed in less than half, and the others were captured.

"It turns out that you have already planned that the reinforcements will arrive in time, so you are not in a hurry, and you are as steady as Mount Tai!" Tao Yaoyao glared at Li Congjing in shame, "You are calm and relaxed, but you have caused us to behave excessively, it's really hateful!" ”

Li Congjing chuckled and said: "I have confidence in the Military Intelligence Department and the Second General Peng and Guo, and I have confidence in the way of war that I have always used the * battalion. ”

Tao Yao was puffed up, too lazy to pay attention to Li Congjing.

"Even if you don't win, it's a big deal to run away, hold on to this bottom line, and you will find that there is nothing to be afraid of." Li Congjing said with a smile, "The reason why I didn't leave was because it wasn't until the last moment." ”

"The military commander is a god of martial arts, everything is under control." Li Youcai lost no time in sending a sycophant.

"Don't flatter, the Liang army is defeated, Mengzhou is settled, you have something to do." Li Youcai's performance made Li Congjing have a lot of changes in his opinion, and he can also greet him with a smile at this time.

"I will do my duty in my part." Li Youcai's appearance, he almost nodded his head, and after he finished speaking, he secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said in his heart, I don't know how to say the words just now, if God helps, I regret saying it...... Fortunately, it was not returned.

………………………

A few days later, at the foot of the Immortal Mountain.

The gates of the village are closed and the population is extinct.

The Japanese army had already lined up outside the village, and when Wu Jingzhong gave an order, they rushed into the village to kill people.

"Since it is said that there are bandits here, we are here to exterminate the bandits, so naturally we have to cut off one hundred and ten heads before we can explain, the scale of this village is not small, one hundred and ten young and strong heads, no problem." Wu Jingyi said coldly to the left and right sergeants, "Listen to my orders, prepare to release arrows!" ”

Wu Jingzhong watched coldly from the sidelines, drank water from the water bladder, and smiled secretly in his heart: Li Congjing, Li Congjing, I see how you end this time.

Wu Jingyi was about to give the order to slaughter the village, but suddenly he rode at a gallop, dismounted in front of Wu Jingzhong, and hurriedly said: "Huaizhou military report!" ”

"Say." Wu Jingzhong spit out a word lightly.

Because of the intention to delay the pace of support for Huaizhou, the scouts sent by Wu Jingzhong to Huaizhou were also new, and this was the first wave to return.

"A few days ago, Li Congjing defeated the Liang army at the Tanshui River, killing more than 1,000 enemies and capturing countless enemies; After that, he attacked Mengzhou and captured the city of Mengzhou; Recently, he defeated Dai Siyuan outside Mengzhou City, killing and capturing more than 6,000 enemies, and Dai Siyuan fled back to Pseudo-Liang! "The scout will get the military report from Huaizhou, one by one.

The water bladder in Wu Jingzhong's hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

"This ...... How is this possible! Wu Jingyi was stunned for a while, subconsciously said a word, and suddenly looked at the scout viciously, "Such a military report, but seriously, you were not deceived by Huaizhou?!" ”

"The military newspaper has been reported to the imperial court." Scout said.

"This ......" Wu Jingyi looked at Wu Jingzhong blankly, "How is this good?" ”

Wu Jingzhong stood up with a black face, his white beard messy in the wind, and spit out two words: "Class teacher." ”

Wu Jingyi was stunned and asked, "Then is this village still slaughtered?" ”

Wu Jingzhong turned around and slapped Wu Jingyi in the face, and scolded angrily: "What kind of slaughter? It's a fart for slaughtering! ”

Wu Jingyi covered his face, and finally reacted, it was just that their support was not effective, Li Congjing defeated the Liang army alone, if people knew that they missed the great achievement because they were here to destroy the bandits, it would be really ridiculous and generous.

…………………………

Xingtang Mansion, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Li Cunqiao had two military reports in front of him, one from Yunzhou and one from Huaizhou, and the time of arrival of the two was only one day apart.

Prime Minister Dou Luge and Lu Chengwei sat in front of the imperial case, looking at each other's nose and nose, and did not say a word.

"Li Siyuan is a genius, and he won Yunzhou by surprise, and he should be crowned as the envoy of the balance festival." Li Cunmiao smiled, and the spring breeze was proud, "His son is even more amazing, he defeated the Liang army and won Mengzhou, how to reward him, the two of you might as well talk about it." When I first ascended to the throne, this father and son gave me such a big congratulatory gift, which is really a pillar of the country, and I want to be rewarded for my good life. ”

Dou Luge said tentatively: "Li Congjing's great merit, and he can't show his ability if he is not a festival. ”

Li Cunmiao was noncommittal, and looked at Lu Chengwei: "What does Lu Lao think?" ”

Lu Cheng pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Li Congjing is also a genius, and he is so young, it is better to recall the Sixth Army to serve, which can be of great use." ”

Li Cunmiao smiled and nodded, but still did not comment.

Dou Luge and Lu Chengwei's opinions seem simple, they are both for Li Congjing's promotion, but in fact, they represent two opposite directions. The festival envoy is tantamount to a prince, who supports the army and has great autonomy; The generals of the six armies have a respected status, but in fact, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, honor and disgrace are tied to the thought of the Son of Heaven.

The two prime ministers saw that Li Cunqing did not make a decision, knowing that it should be that Li Cunqing's thoughts were not said in the previous words, the two glanced at each other, and Lu Chengwei had to say tentatively: "Li Congjing used to be His Majesty's guard, and he has been fighting with His Majesty for a long time, and he has never returned to the court since he took office, so why don't you recall him to meet him, listen to his own meaning, and then make plans?" ”

Listening to Li Congjing's own meaning is undoubtedly nonsense, just a rhetoric.

Li Cunqiao stood up with a smile, slapped the military newspaper twice in his hand, and said: "Lu Lao is right, Li Congjing has been in office for a long time, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I am also quite concerned. That's fine, then summon Li Congjing back to the court, I will take a look at this nephew first, and then I can settle the family affairs for him, but I have a wish, and then talk about other things. ”

"Your Majesty." The two prime ministers said, and each saw a layer of meaning in each other's eyes: It turned out that His Majesty had not yet made up his mind.

Rewarding courtiers is actually simple, especially Li Congjing's merits can be measured, so it should be easy to make up your mind. Thinking of this, the two prime ministers couldn't help but wonder: What made His Majesty unable to make up his mind about such a simple matter for a while?

Both prime ministers realized that there was another reason for this.
