On the north gate of the city.

"Good! Well done! ”

When the brute slammed his black bear-like burly body under his horse, a group of soldiers defending the city applauded, their expressions were excited, and they swept away the atmosphere of low decadence.

The two generals, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, who were standing beside Li Li, applauded even more loudly, and they were so excited that they smashed their fists on the city wall, and they smashed into pieces.

"General Dian Wei wants to get it, Pegasus kills the enemy, all in one go!"

Seeing Dian Wei show his skills for the first time, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were also shocked and happy. Seeing this, Lu Su felt it, Zhou Yu nodded happily, turned his head to Li Li and said with a smile: "I have long heard that General Dian Wei is one of the five tiger generals under the command of the lord, and he is also the first brave and fierce general to follow the lord. ”

Li Li smiled, with a knowing smile in his eyes, obviously very satisfied with Dian Wei's expression.

Zhang Liao stood beside Zhou Yu, and after hearing the words, he was quite excited and said, "What Gong Jin said is extremely true. The barbarian general is too tall and strong as a mountain, just by the two-zhang long mace stick in his hand, he knows that his strength is extraordinary, and his strength is abnormal. In my opinion, even if the barbarian general's martial arts are vulgar, but his strength is extraordinary, if he doesn't care about his life, his combat power is comparable to that of a top general. If I were to fight against him, I wouldn't be able to behead him in one fit anyway, and even if I fought quickly, it would take at least thirty or fifty rounds to make a contribution. This shows that General Dian Wei is extremely brave, and the name of the tiger general is well deserved! ”

Li Li looked sideways at Zhang Liao and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan is humble. In the past two years, Wenyuan's martial arts have improved greatly, and his martial arts are second only to Zicheng in the Jin Yiwei camp. It's very rare. In terms of martial arts alone, Wen Yuan now has skills that are not inferior to Dian Wei, and the slight disadvantage is that Dian Wei is born with divine power, and his strength is slightly better than Wen Yuan. Otherwise, Wen Hike can fight to a tie with the evil and equalize. Hehehe! ”

"The lord has won the prize." Zhang Liao waved his hand humbly and said: "General Dian Wei's martial arts have long been completed, his martial arts are condensed and proficient, he has been in battle for a long time, and he has rich experience in battlefield fighting. Take the current battle as an example. General Dian Wei mastered the timing, speed, and horsemanship perfectly, and was just right, fifteen paces away from the longitudinal horse two paces, and then the prancing horse was in the air, and the blow was a kill. This kind of combat skill cannot be achieved by a high level of martial arts. It contains General Dian Wei's skillful riding skills and rich combat experience, as well as refined killing skills. and extraordinary courage. These are indispensable. In comparison, in addition to being inferior to General Dian Wei, the last general is also inferior in other aspects. ”

Li Li nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan's eyes are keen, and what he sees is not bad at all. However, Wen Yuan ignored a very important link, that is, the war horse under Dian Wei's seat is by no means an ordinary good horse. It is one of the few BMW horses in our army. In the face of the enemy horse, it is rare to see a horse that is galloping but not afraid, and the ability to fly two steps into the air is more than two feet high, and it is a rare horse to be a horse, Dian Wei is relying on the ability of the BMW, coupled with his own skilled and exquisite riding skills and combat skills. Kill the enemy in one hit. This move greatly frightened the barbarian army, making it frightened, and it had already shown three points of cowardice before the official start of the war. Dian Wei has not wasted his time in the past two years, he has really been trained, and his mental martial arts have become more and more sophisticated, which is enough to be independent! ”

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at Dian Wei in front of the Le Ma array under the city, and his eyes showed a look of envy and thoughtfulness.

Seeing the yearning look on Zhang Liao's face, Zhou Yu glanced at Li Li as if he had realized something, and laughed softly: "General Dian Wei was not allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle due to the strict order of the lord before. After a month, General Dian Wei was really suffocated. In addition, this place is the location of the Tiger Camp, but now it has been captured by the barbarian army for most of the counties, and the previous marshal's mansion was punished, and the deputy commander Duan Xuan was removed.

With so much humiliation pressed on his body, General Dian Wei must have hated the barbarian army to the core, and he had held his evil breath in his chest for so long, if it was an ordinary general, he was afraid that he would have collapsed in a frenzy. At this moment, when he went out of the city to meet the enemy, Dian Wei naturally wanted to be ashamed and vent well. Now it seems that Dian Wei is not only brave, but also delicate, calm and measured, which is of great use. Therefore, from the point of view of the last general, such brave and resourceful generals stationed on the border are indeed a bit condescending, and brave generals like General Dian Wei are still needed to fight on the battlefield in the Central Plains in the future. I hope that the lord will consider it at his discretion. ”

After Li Li heard this, he looked at the majestic mountains in the sky, his eyes were deep, his expression was solemn, and he was silent in thought.

After a while, Li Li exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice: "Two years ago, out of consideration for the long-term situation in Xiliang, the twelve main battalions of the Xiliang Army, except for Jin Yiwei, were all stationed at the border, stationed on the border, and sought self-development and self-reliance. At the beginning, the strength of the battalions was not much different, and the strength was comparable, but now it has changed greatly. After two years of development, there are differences in troops, combat strength, and weapons and equipment among the various battalions, and the distance between them has gradually widened, and the gap between some battalions is so great that it is no longer on the same level. Therefore, it is imperative to readjust the battalions, reassign the generals, and even reorganize the war camps. ”

After a slight pause in his tone, Li Li's face showed a rare trace of worry, and he said in a low voice: "This time, the barbarian army invaded my Liangzhou, forcing us to send troops to meet the battle. As soon as the war starts, the long-term strategy implemented by Xiliang will inevitably have an impact, and the peaceful days of two years of calm will be gone forever. The flames of war have suddenly erupted, and if we want to extinguish it quickly, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it.

This battle is not an isolated existence, but a premeditated and planned war, the purpose of which is to pull our Xiliang army into the quagmire of war and cannot get out, so as to destroy us. In view of this, before the departure of the army, I had secretly ordered the three prefectures under the rule of Xiliang to strengthen the garrison of the three prefectures, and the county guards of various counties and counties to take over the defense. At the same time, the 12 main battalions of our Xiliang Army were preparing their ordnance and baggage, actively preparing for war, and waiting for dispatch at any time.

Therefore, the days of our army's main battle camp and garrison ended early, and with the arrival of the next war, our Xiliang army will assemble again. It is absolutely impossible for a cavalry battalion with strong combat strength like the Tiger Battalion to stay on the border, and the Central Plains battlefield will be the main battlefield for them to display their strength in the future. ”

This was the first time Li Li revealed his heart after returning to Xiliang, so that Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and others looked stunned and showed solemn expressions.

Regarding the current war, Zhou Yu and Lu Su have learned the information these days. It was already realized that the battle with the barbarians was only a prelude to a great battle. However, this kind of prelude should not be taken lightly in the slightest, and must be treated with caution, otherwise the barbarian army's attack will evolve into a nail that penetrates the back of the Xiliang army, and the critical moment can give the Xiliang army a fatal blow.

Because of this, before the expedition, Li Li and the military advisors Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Li Xuan, Li Ru and others repeatedly discussed many times, and finally Li Li decided to personally take command of the Northern Expedition, while the others performed their duties and actively prepared for the war, so as to make a foolish plan.

A ray of slanting sun shone into the city tower, and Zhou Yu suddenly woke up. He said urgently: "Lord, the time has come to schedule a joint attack, please give an order!" ”

Admittedly, it was already early afternoon and the sun was setting in the west.

Dian Wei, who was fighting in front of the city, was fighting with three barbarian generals. With one enemy and three enemies, he did not fall behind at all. What is intriguing is that the combat power of the three brute generals at this moment is far inferior to the previous brute general who is as strong as a black bear. But Dian Wei fought with these three for dozens of rounds. It took half an hour, and now there is still no winner.

Seeing the situation under the city, Li Liyan's expression suddenly soothed, and said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing to be evil, and you actually fought with three barbarian fools whose martial arts are not first-class for half an hour!" ”

After the voice stopped suddenly, Li Li's tone changed sharply. He said to Zhou Yu in a deep voice: "One qiē proceeds as planned. If this battle is won, and the barbarian army is completely driven out of Beidi County within three days, then Gong Jin will be fully responsible for the next attack on the Southern Xiongnu tribe and the war. At that time, Gong Jin will lead the Chinese army. Command the army to attack the barbarian tribe, you don't need to report it in case of trouble, Gong Jin can make his own decisions! ”

"I'm just afraid that this 、、、 is inappropriate." Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face, but then he hesitated and shook his head to refuse.

After calming down a little, Zhou Yu explained: "The time for the last general to serve the lord is too short, and it will only take a month and a half to complete the battle, and the qualifications are too shallow, and it may be difficult to convince the public." Therefore, the lord is also asked to withdraw his order, and the lord is still in charge of the army, and the last general is willing to dismount under the command of the lord and lead his troops to attack the barbarian tribe. Please be perfected! ”

Li Li shook his head and said: "It is inevitable that seniority will be discussed in the army, but the depth of seniority does not conflict with personal talent. The war is imminent, whether Gong Jin is qualified to be the commander of the army is not determined by what others say, but by me Li Li. I said that you are qualified and capable of taking charge of the Chinese army, you are the commander of the army, who dares to disobey orders! Therefore, Gongjin doesn't have to worry, just let it go, and I'll support it. If the Northern Expedition wins, it will be your Zhou Gongjin's work; If I lose, it will be my fault, and all the blame will be borne by me. ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu still wanted to push back, Li Li raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say much, and said in a resolute tone: "As the commander of the army, I am mainly responsible for two things. The first is to know people well, boldly delegate power, and give capable and ambitious young generals the opportunity to show their talents, so that you can show your strength and indulge in your talents. The first thing in governing the army is to distinguish rewards and punishments, and those who have meritorious service must be rewarded and punished, and they must also bear the responsibility for defeat. The commander of an army should not only hold the power of soldiers and horses, but also shoulder the responsibility for defeat, not only to the lord, but also to the lives of the officers and men of the whole army, both of which are indispensable.

Therefore, Gongjin does not have to shirk, and should be benevolent. This is not only to live up to my trust in you, but also to give you a chance to show your strength. In troubled times, there are not many opportunities to experience, only to grow in the war, try to make as few mistakes as possible, if so, you are a general. This opportunity is rare, and I hope that Gongjin will grasp it well, and the opportunity will not be lost and will not come again. I have made up my mind, Gongjin doesn't need to say much, let's carry out the order immediately! ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" The matter has come to this point, Zhou Yu no longer shirked, and responded respectfully.

"It's so good, the war is entrusted to Gong Jin, I don't worry. You all get busy, I'll go back to the county capital with Flawless and Yunluo to rest. After Zhou Yu received the order, Li Li bowed his head happily, and immediately turned around and went downstairs without looking back with Dian Wufang and Ma Yunluo, and walked straight to the county guard's mansion.

Seeing Li Li and his wife leave, Zhou Yu immediately calmed down, looked at the situation under the city with a solemn expression, and ordered sharply: "The generals will listen to the order, fire the arrows, and order the Tiger Camp to attack head-on!" ”

"No!" Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and a group of generals who were on standby at any time received the order, and immediately Zhang Liao waved his hand, and the three archers who had been preparing for a long time released their arrows in the air. When the arrow flew into the air, it slammed loudly, and the sound was sharp and piercing, enough to be heard for miles.

Dian Wei, who was fighting with three barbarian generals under the city, heard the arrow rise into the air at first glance, and his heart was shocked.

Suddenly, but seeing Dian Wei urging the horse to speed up, he rushed head-on to the middle of the two brute generals, and the momentum was as fast as before. As he approached the two horses, Dian Wei's body slipped and slipped off the back of the wind-chasing horse, and he tiptoed on one foot, and swept through with his left-handed halberd with lightning speed, cutting off the right barbarian general. Immediately, Dian Wei jumped onto the horse, and with a backhand halberd, he stabbed the other barbarian who was going in the opposite direction off the horse.

After cutting off the two barbarian generals in an instant, Dian Wei clamped the horse's belly and faced the third enemy general who was slightly behind, and struggled with a halberd in his right hand to swing away the Hun scimitar, and the halberd in his left hand followed up instantly, directly piercing the chest of the barbarian general, and cutting him off the horse.

When the knife fell, Dian Wei cut three more barbarian generals, and then he lifted the reins of the prancing horse, waved his big hand, and shouted: "The tiger camp listens to the order, follow me to the battle, kill!" ”

Boom!

Following Dian Wei's order, the 20,000 iron horsemen of the Tiger Battalion who were ready to wait responded to the call, rode their horses and raised their guns, rushed towards the barbarian army battle formation like a tide, and went straight to Yu Fuluo, who was in front of the Chinese army.

At the moment when the tiger camp under the city rushed into battle, Zhou Yu untied his sword, clenched his hand, and ordered: "Zhang Liao listened to the order, led five thousand Jinqi guard war cavalry to break through the enemy formation, and did not fall in love with the battle, and directly took the barbarian army camp!" ”

"No!" Zhang Liao bowed down to receive the order, and immediately hurried down the city, while the five thousand Jinyi Guards were already waiting in formation, just waiting for the city gate to open and rush out of the city.

"Xu Chu listened to the order, immediately reorganized the army, and followed me out of the city to kill the enemy!" With Zhou Yu's sharp order, Xu Chu responded and left.

"Zijing, the city will be handed over to you!" Turning to leave the city, Zhou Yu turned his head and admonished Lu Su.

Lu Su nodded happily: "Gongjin can rest assured, I will live up to my trust!" ”

"Zijing is calm, I can rest assured!" Zhou Yu nodded heavily, and immediately led his soldiers down to the city to meet Xu Chu.

Immediately, as the city gate slowly opened, Zhang Liao took the lead and led five thousand golden guards to rush to the barbarian enemy formation after the tiger camp. Then, Zhou Yu and Xu Chu led more than 10,000 county soldiers to rush out of the city, together with the 3,000 county soldiers led by Li Xian under the city, and then followed the war cavalry to kill the generals. In this way, the Xiliang army in front of the Fuluo army had 40,000 people, including as many as 25,000 war horses. The remaining 60,000 cavalry lurked behind the two wings of the barbarian army, and when they heard the sound of arrows rising into the air, the army immediately set out and plunged straight into the two wings from behind the barbarian army.
