The topography of Luoyankou is quite similar to the shape of a goose, the official road is backed by a gentle slope, so it is relatively spacious, and there is a stream on the side of the gentle slope, and the water flow is clear.

As the sun set, the glow dyed half of the sky red, and Li Congjing, who was standing on the top of the mountain, was stretched out very long and curved on the hillside.

Li Congjing remembered his previous life. When he was a child, the sunset in the countryside was also like this, and at this time, the villagers who had worked in the fields for a day would carry hoes and other things, laughing and laughing, and go home, including his father. And the fragrance of vegetables wafting on the earthen stove at home can spread out for more than ten meters.

At his feet, the 500 people have already begun to camp, the method of marching: "the line is the formation, the stop is the camp", and "the method of the camp, choose the place first", Li Congjing chose to camp in Luoyankou, naturally because the conditions here are suitable in all aspects.

"Commander, since we have come to attack the Acropolis, why don't we camp outside the Acropolis, but instead camp in this wilderness, what does this say?" Zhang Xiaowu followed Li Congjing on the hill for a long time, and then couldn't help asking. He and Li Congjing have been in the same team for a long time and are very familiar with each other.

It happened that He Chong also came up from the hillside, and when he heard Zhang Xiaowu's question, he also listened quietly.

Li Congjing pulled himself out of his memories, "When the time comes, you will naturally understand." Now is not the time to say so. ”

I don't know if I said this to Zhang Xiaowu or He Chong.

"Commander Lee." He Chong saw Li Congjing looking at him, and smiled and hugged his fist, "The sunset is infinitely good, and the commander is so interested!" ”

Li Congjing lacked a good impression of He Chong, but that was all, so he asked, "What is the matter with Commander He?" ”

"Oh, I'm here to tell Commander Li that the camp is almost finished, by the way, ask Commander Li if he has any other instructions?" He Chong said politely, looking like that, he put his subordinate position in this battle very upright. It's just that this time I deliberately went to Li Congjing to ask for instructions, which was a bit deliberately redundant.

"There is a commander of Lao He." Li Congjing said, he was not very proud of He Chong's cordiality, because he was very humble himself, "There are no other instructions for the time being, when the army has a meal, I will explain something." ”

"Commander Li has a plan in his chest, but he is in a hurry." He Chong gave a sycophant, and then retreated.

"He Chong is reasonable, and he has always greeted the commander with a smile and obeyed his words at the end of this day." Zhang Xiaowu looked at He Chong's departing back and said.

Unlike most of the sergeants from Mazhi, who are "heroes and tyrannical warriors", "rogues and outlaws", Zhang Xiaowu is a rare son of a good family, and it is precisely because of this that Li Congjing can rest assured that he is his own soldier. It's just that in this way, Zhang Xiaowu's experience is a little worse.

Li Congjing looked at He Chong's back as he descended the mountain, and said lightly: "Greeting you with a smile may not necessarily mean that he is really close to you, it can only mean that he wants to be close to you, and it is difficult to say what purpose he has." The more cunning the wolf, the more it hides its claws and dresses itself as a sheep. ”

Zhang Xiaowu, who was only in his early twenties, was at a loss, obviously not understanding Li Congjing's words.

Li Congjing didn't say anything, went down the mountain to arrange for the soldiers to eat, and after everything was done, Li Congjing issued a military order: except for the scouts and the sergeants on duty, the rest were rested. It means that you can wash and sleep.

As soon as this military order was given, the whole army was puzzled. It's all the hard work to get around the city here, and it's the matter of sleeping after eating. From the role of Ma Zhi at this time, it was revealed, none of the sergeants had a word, anyway, they were full of food and drink, and none of them ran to sleep. In this way, Wei Bojun successively carried out military orders.

When He Chong asked Li Congjing again what arrangements he had at night, Li Congjing only said one word: "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for, are you waiting for Liang Jun to send you the head military merits?" If there is no fighting, there will be no military merits, so He Chong can't help but slander himself.

If Li Congjing heard He Chong's words, he would definitely not mind complimenting him: Brother, you are so smart.

Less than an hour later, Li Shaocheng and Li Rong both rushed to join the army, and Li Congjing looked satisfied after listening to their reports. Immediately, Li Congjing asked Li Rong to take a quick rest, and then sent him out.

Just after midnight that day, Li Congjing received a military report from the front.

Today, Li Cunqiao led a large army to Xiangzhou, and the Liang army guards who occupied Xiangzhou saw that the king of Jin was coming, and immediately abandoned the city and fled south.

When he was ugly, Li Congjing suddenly ordered the whole army to assemble.

The sergeants who were sleeping soundly, when they were pulled out of the bed one by one, their faces were as black as charcoal, and many Wei Bojun officers and soldiers scolded and scolded, and they were very dissatisfied, and they had a lot of complaints about Li Congjing's inexplicable military orders. The army in troubled times is mostly unruly, and Wei Bojun's combat power is also outstanding in Fang Zhen's army, because he is arrogant and fierce.

The barracks were in a mess, like a pot of boiling water, without half a division of rules, and it was difficult to carry out military orders.

And He Chong, who was still "in front of the saddle and behind the horse" by Li Congjing's side not long ago, was nowhere to be seen at this time.

Seeing that Wei Bojun was dragging his feet, falling crookedly one by one, and not looking like he had assembled properly at all, Li Congjing couldn't help but be angry. He didn't say much, and he didn't bother to scold, because he knew it was useless.

Li Congjing called Li Shaocheng over, and made a gesture to him with a cruel look in his eyes.

Born in a heroic family, he fled due to vendetta and murder when he was a teenager, and was finally recruited by Li Cunqiao into Li Shaocheng, who was straight from the horse, and at this time showed his hideous fangs. Li Shaocheng waved his hand and beckoned a hundred people from his horse behind him, and he also got off the horse, and walked towards Wei Bojun, who scolded the most fiercely, with a horsewhip.

Wei Bojun saw Li Shaocheng and the others striding over fiercely, and he didn't show weakness, but he didn't see it, and he was still loose. looks like Lao Tzu is an uncle.

In front of these Wei Bojun sergeants, Li Shaocheng didn't say a word, waved his horsewhip, and swung it at the first sergeant, and swung it in his face!

"Ahh The whip suddenly drew a groove of blood on the opponent's face, and the sergeant suddenly howled miserably. However, as soon as his voice came out, Li Shaocheng whipped him hard with a second whip.

The 100 men led by him naturally followed the same example, these war machines that killed people without blinking an eye didn't pay attention to the shouting of Wei Bojun in front of them, and when they went down with a whip, there was a crackling sound, which made Wei Bojun cry wolf.

There is no shortage of head birds at any time and anywhere. A Wei Bo army was "unwilling to be humiliated", drew a knife, pointed at a man from Ma Zhi with a fierce momentum, and shouted: "Straight mother thief, Lao Tzu takes your dog's life!" ”

He drew his sword, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of sergeants. The seriousness of the act of drawing a knife is no different from pointing a gun at someone's head, which is a taboo in the army, and it is a serious violation of military law.

But the eyes of all the sergeants of Wei Bojun lit up, and everyone was ready to see what would happen next, this Wei Bo army was a ruthless character, and most of Wei Bojun knew about it, so many people began to sneer on the corners of their mouths.

Li Congjing looked at all this coldly, his eyes were deep.

"Niang Xipi, you fucking give Lao Tzu a crazy ...... again" The team was roaring, but the knife had not been raised, and suddenly the voice was broken. Because his head moved from his shoulder without warning—everything happened in an instant.

The officers and men of Wei Bojun were stunned, the expected clash did not happen, and the headless corpse slowly fell, as if announcing something.

Deathly silence.

"Draw swords against your comrades, and those who mess with military law, behead!" Li Shaocheng's face was expressionless, but the fierceness in his eyes was like a tiger wolf, "If you don't carry out the military order, you will be killed!" ”

The word "chop" fell, and a neat sound of metal friction sounded, and hundreds of horizontal knives were flashed out of Ma Zhi's hand. Under the light of the torches, these soldiers from Ma Zhi were particularly angry, like a group of killing gods.

All the sergeants of Wei Bojun were a little stunned for a while, and after being stunned, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear, and of course, anger.

Li Congjing, who was on the horse, didn't move half a step from the beginning, just watched coldly, and couldn't help sneering at this time: From Ma Zhinai's elite to the elite, how can he be in vain. Shock is small, overkill.

Li Congjing stepped forward on his horse, looked around at Wei Bojun, and his cold tone was full of undisguised killing intent, "This general will take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, and kill a group of wastes who do not obey military orders, such as slaughtering pigs and dogs!" Those who fail to make orders cannot form an army; Don't respect generals, don't be armor. Draw your sword at every turn, treat military orders as if they were nothing, and bully me when I am young?! ”

If military regulations have a bottom line, then drawing a knife clearly breaks through the bottom line. If Li Congjing has a bottom line, then before the war, he encouraged the sergeants to disrespect military orders, then he obviously broke through his bottom line.

"At present, the enemy is about three chapters, and the scouts are ordered to report to the king of Jin: those who do not respect the order, behead! Fear the enemy and not the former, slash! Gather a crowd to make trouble, behead! The soldiers have had, Wu Changzhu! Wu Chang has had, and the team is punishing! The team is having it, and they are all punished! If the war is lost, I will be punished with what commander! If the war is won, the officers and men of the whole army will be rewarded together, regardless of you and me! ”

After that, Li Congjing shouted: "Where is He Chong'an? ”

He Chong walked out of the crowd with a hard head, and hugged his fist at Li Congjing unnaturally, "He Chong is here." ”

"This envoy has three chapters of clear orders, how can the commander have objections?"

"Under ...... No objection. ”

"Where is Zhang Xiaowu?"

"The subordinates are here!" Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward and clenched his fists.

"I ordered you to bring the sergeant of the headquarters as the supervising army, but there are those who do not respect the express orders of the three chapters, regardless of Wei Bojun and Congma Zhi, first cut and then play!" Li Congjing waved his sleeves and said. What he said sounded good, but in fact, it was aimed at Wei Bojun, and the reason why he said this was just to show his fairness and take care of Wei Bojun's mood - after all, the next thing was to fight.

"Subordinates take orders!" Zhang Xiaowu proudly agreed.

Li Congjing waved his hand to let Zhang Xiaowu retreat, and looked at the stunned Wei Bojun, his face was calm, "The army is assembled, and it will be pulled out immediately!" ”

…………

Li Congjing's battle plan is actually very simple - hit halfway.

Previously, he asked Li Shaocheng and Li Rong to act together, that is, to pull out all the Liang army scouts outside the acropolis. On the one hand, it is to cut off its ears and eyes, and on the other hand, it is to create panic.

The Liang army in the acropolis has not been able to get feedback from the scouts for a long time, and the people sent out can never come back, so they naturally know that there are Jin troops outside the city. The key is that they still don't know how many Jin troops there are, who will lead them, and they don't know whether they are already in the realm of certain death, and what the Jin army's combat intentions are.

The Liang army was crushed thousands of miles outside the city of Weizhou, and the king of Jin came in person, how could his military spirit not waver, and how much of his fighting spirit remained? The Liang army that fled to the Acropolis will inevitably spread this negative sentiment to the entire Liang army of the Acropolis, and after the defeat of Weizhou, the Acropolis is already on the front line, and it can be said that as the Jin army moves south, they will inevitably be deeply encircled.

At this time, coupled with the fact that all the scouts were killed, the Liang army on the Acropolis was on the verge of collapse.

And the Liang army, who brought back the news of Li Cunqing's recovery of Xiangzhou, was deliberately put into the Acropolis by Li Congjing, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the Liang army of the Acropolis. The Acropolis Liang army, which was deeply trapped in the enemy's territory, wanted to survive, if it did not surrender, it had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

If Li Congjing was asked to take 500 people to attack the acropolis, it would be absolutely impossible to attack. In this case, why not change your thinking, go to the place where the Liang army must pass through when fleeing south, set up an ambush, and catch him off guard?

With a deliberate calculation and no intention, with a man full of fighting spirit, with the power of a great victory, the Liang army who is panicked like a lost dog, why can't he make contributions?

Li Congjing led 500 people to rise from the camp, and had already completed the ambush at Luoyankou, and the black-clothed and black-armored Jin army merged with the grass and trees, turning into a patient hunter, quietly waiting for the prey to take the bait.

The night is like ink, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good weather to kill people and sell goods.

Li Congjing sat on a big rock, hugged his arms, chewed a grass stalk in his mouth, and looked very relaxed. From time to time, some soldiers glanced at Li Congjing, and they could always feel that he was confident, and his confidence in the next battle was a little bigger.

Li Congjing's eyebrows were like lightning, but he was thinking about something else in his heart.

Before the military camp Wei Bojun made trouble, saying that no one was making trouble behind his back, Li Congjing didn't believe it. said that the person behind the troublemaker was not He Chong, and Li Congjing didn't believe it. Except for the possibility that He Chong played his mind, there was no other reasonable explanation, only he could command the four hundred Wei Bo army.

Before the chaos appeared, although Li Congjing was a little wary of He Chong, he never thought that he would use such despicable means before the war. You must know that if Li Congjing does not handle it well, this battle will not be able to be fought, and if the situation gets out of control and develops into a mutiny by a sergeant, Li Congjing may be beheaded under his dereliction of duty. Because of this, Li Congjing was so angry before.

But obviously, He Chong underestimated the fierceness of Cong Ma Zhi, that group of people did not have many good people before joining the army, and after joining the army, they were even more murderous, and the war had already raised them to be more evil than the sky, and their courage was fatter than the ground. A few local armies made trouble, but they really didn't pay attention to it. It is precisely because of this that Li Shaocheng can kill people without mercy.

And Li Congjing, the deputy commander of the horse, how can he be bad in terms of ruthlessness?

He wasn't worried at all that He Chong would stumble in tonight's battle, unless he didn't want to live. Because Li Congjing's three chapters have made it very clear that if the war is lost, he and He Chong will die. This explicit order has already been sent to Li Cunqiao through the hands of scouts.

He Chong didn't want to die, so he had to urge Wei Bo's army to fight. At least, tonight.

, the commander who was bent on framing Li Congjing, probably wouldn't have thought that he would have a moment of desperate help Li Congjing make contributions.

And He Chong, who instructed him?

A figure appeared in Li Congjing's mind, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"Commander, Liang Jun is here!" Zhang Xiaowu's voice interrupted Li Congjing's thoughts.

He looked along the official road, and sure enough, he saw a lot of moving fire spots at the end of the official road—no doubt they were torches. And the one holding the torch can only be Liang Jun.

Li Congjing's eyes narrowed.
