"Will Li Jing really attack today?"

When Jing Sanniang came in with her beloved Vermilion Bird-style azure full body armor and opened the curtain, Liu Yunniang was carefully watching the military information of all parties gathered under the lamp. Seeing Jing Thirteen Niang coming in in a hurry, she smiled and said, "Are you looking forward to him coming?" ”

Jing Sanniang pouted and said, "Come on, what kind of joke are you talking about." Although I heard that Li Jing is very handsome, but we have already lost the body of the broken flower and the willow, and the two armies are fighting, presumably he will not pity the flowers and jade. I only came because I have been squatting in the ice and snow for three consecutive days, and the snow has stopped today, and you have ordered the whole army not to take off their armor at night, and if they do not come, they will be asking for their own hardship. In two more days, even if Li Jing really comes, we will already be tired and lie down by ourselves, how can we still fight. ”

Liu Yunniang knew that she was just here to talk to herself, and she deliberately said this to ease her worries. Her husband has not arrived for a day, and her heart can not stop worrying for a day.

"Come on, tell me about your joke, it wouldn't be good if the people below heard it." Liu pointed to the equally neat drape on his body, "If Li Jing doesn't come, we just don't feel comfortable when we rest." But if Li Jing is really coming, then he doesn't need to put on temporary armor, and he can have more hope of victory and survival. "Although Liu is the commander of the soldiers and horses, he is also like everyone else, wearing a full suit of armor, even if he is in the tent at this time, he is not armored.

Jing Sanniang took out a gourd from behind her and put it on the table in front of Liu.

"You can't drink alcohol in the army, not to mention that there will be battles at any time now!" Liu Shi knows that Jing Thirteen Niang is a bold woman, and she usually likes to drink.

"It's goat's milk. I've just warmed up. The ice and snow hurt the body too much. You're going to have to do everything. I deliberately got some goat's milk, and you drank it while it was hot. Jing Sanniang took the bowl and asked, "Madam, if Li Jing really comes, how much can we win or lose?" ”

Liu Shi pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say now, but if you can really make progress as planned, you should at least have a fifty percent chance of winning." ”

"It's only fifty percent?"

Liu Yunniang laughed: "Do you think fifty percent is small? If nothing else. There will be fifty percent, this is mainly because Li Jing has broken into too quickly, his follow-up troops can't keep up, even the logistics baggage can't keep up, he didn't have many soldiers this time, and he has to defend the newly occupied states, so there will be fewer after the availability, so there will be this fifty percent chance of winning. If this is not the case, we will have a showdown with Li Jing, but I am afraid that there will be no chance of victory. ”

"Is Li Jing really so powerful?"

"It's not that powerful. Then he won't be called Li Jing. Liu Yunniang said, but frowned again and said, "Have you ever experienced the original battle of Daibei." Li Jing is a person who does not follow the convention in the use of soldiers, but he is indeed extremely powerful. ”

Before she finished speaking, Jing Sanniang had already pouted and said: "Come on, Li Jing is like the god of war descending into the world, but at the beginning, the king of Jin relied on his own strength to fight on behalf of the north, with one enemy and eight towns, killing three marshals, and defeating seven town soldiers, if it weren't for Li Jing hiding in the shadows, even the eight towns would have been defeated." Speaking of which, Li Jing's use of troops is nothing more than good at taking advantage of the situation and using tricks. The Qin army has always relied on its outnumbered numbers and is well-equipped to bully the weak. If it is said that less is more, and the public is attacked weakly, it depends on the spirit of King Jin and his wife. ”

Liu Yunniang shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Soldier, treacherous!" War is not about the process, but about the result. No matter how brave he is, if he is defeated, he will be called reckless. No matter how insidious, but if it is victorious, it will be used as a resource. No matter how Li Jing wins, but in just a few years, Li Jing can start from scratch and become the strongest domain today, this is his ability, and he must not be underestimated. At the moment, Li Jing really doesn't have many soldiers, but I still can't take it lightly. ”

Although they have occupied a favorable position on the battlefield at the moment, and their troops are not weak, the war is still fought by people in the end.

"Madame doesn't seem optimistic?"

"The war is unpredictable, but the way of using troops is ever-changing. Seven points by planning, two points by fighting, and one point by providence! It can also be attributed to the favorable time, place and people, such as the Qin army's many firearms, but now that the rain and snow weather is now, this has a great impact on their firearms, which is due to the geographical advantage. We also occupy the pass, and wait for work at ease, for the sake of geographical advantage. ”

"It's just that the rain and snow have stopped today, and there is not even a strong wind, isn't this more beneficial to the Qin army? Have we lost time? ”

Liu Yunniang took a sip of hot goat's milk and chuckled: "It's not all like this, the so-called art of war, the weak use the odd, the strong use the positive." For example, we are now relatively weak, so we need to set up an ambush under the pass, instead of holding on to the pass. The strange soldier is to anticipate what the enemy cannot predict, the twelve tricks, what can be shown but cannot, and the use of which is not used, this is the truth. ”

Jing Sanniang listened to it for a long time, but she was a little confused, shook her head, and said, "Madame said for a long time, but I didn't understand anything, so you just said whether they would come tonight?" ”

Liu Yunniang also sighed and said, "If I say that they will definitely come, but they don't come, it's better than saying that they definitely won't come, but they come, right?" Thirteen Niang, there will be nothing wrong with more preparation, be prepared and have no trouble. Actually, I don't expect Li Jing to come, even if he does, maybe our ambush plan will be successful. I'd rather Li Jing not show up, so that we can wait for King Jin's reinforcements to arrive. Meeting Li Jing in a narrow way, even if we prepare in advance, but this kind of battle is not something I am willing to encounter. ”

Jing Sanniang smacked her rosy lips, "I didn't expect Madame to be so convinced and respected by Li Jing, if this matter is known to King Jin, I'm afraid I will be jealous." ”

"To respect one's enemies is to respect oneself. To despise one's enemies is to despise oneself! Don't be misled by some rumors outside, Li Jing can defeat one opponent after another in a few years before the age of thirty, and he is by no means an idle person. If it is really like the legendary Li Jing who is just lucky, he can get to this point by being the godson of the vassal marshal, being a disciple of the high gate, marrying the wealthy family, colluding with the pirates, flattering the Son of Heaven, patting the eunuchs, and colluding with the merchants, then their words are too superficial. Let's take a look at the enemies that Li Jing once defeated, Thirteen Niang, our Shatuo was also a defeated under Li Jing. Do you think that King Jin will be a defeated soldier of such an unbearable person? ”

Jing Sanniang may not know Li Jing. But I know Li Keyong and Liu very well. Since the Liu family, who was once a defeated general under Li Jing, they all respect Li Jing so much. That shows that this is indeed an admirable opponent.

Liu Yunniang finished drinking the goat's milk, put down the bowl, took the cloak and said to Thirteen Niang: "Let's go to inspect again!" ”

Although there are officers on duty at night, Liu still has to patrol the barracks before going to bed every night to sleep, especially at the critical time, the more she can't relax. Thirteen Niang immediately nodded and led the way.

As soon as they came out of the account, Jing Niang, the leader of the Liu family's guards, had already asked the guards to bring the war horses of the two. The three of them got on their horses with a team of guards and just checked around. Suddenly, I heard a commotion from the south, and Jing Sanniang listened with her ears pricked up, "What's going on over there." ”

The army in the valley was 15,000 men and horses, 10,000 women, and 5,000 light horsemen. The Liu clan governs the army strictly, even if he leads a female soldier, but the military discipline is not weaker than the elite of Shatuo. Even if this Shatuo soldier is not elite, it can be stationed in the valley separately from the female soldiers, and noise is absolutely forbidden in the camp.

Jing Niang said: "The voice is coming from the south. It was behind the valley, and it was where the men were camped! ”

"The noise was not loud. It's not like an enemy sneak attack! Let's go, let's see. Liu Yunniang said.

They rode to the southern camp, and saw a group of people approaching them with a few men dressed in ordinary people's clothes.

Jing Niangce immediately took a few steps forward and shouted, "Why is there any noise? ”

An officer stepped forward and said: "Mi Zhi'an, the commander of the last general Nanying, report to the princess, these people claim to be the personal soldiers under the command of General Li Kening of Zhigu Pass, and say that there is an urgent military situation to report." ”

Liu led his troops out of the pass to set up an ambush, and the military affairs of Zhigu Pass were handed over to Li Kerang's brother Li Kening to stay behind. Now Li Kerang suddenly asked a few pro-soldiers to dress up as ordinary people, and turned over from the back mountain in the middle of the night, it must be that something big happened in the pass.

"Ask them to come over."

A few Li Kening's personal soldiers in ordinary people's clothes stepped forward, knelt down five or six steps in front of Liu's horse, and said loudly: "The princess is above, I will wait for the salute." ”

Although this person is dressed in Han clothes, his face is indeed Shatuo, and this person is Li Kening's personal guard, and Liu has also met and known each other a few times. At the moment, he no longer doubted their identities, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to you?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "Report to the princess, something is wrong, after dark, the Qin army suddenly appeared in Zhigu Pass and raided the city, General Li Kening led us to resist desperately, but the thief army was fierce and could not resist." ”

Liu Yunniang was taken aback, they squatted Li Jing in front of the gate for three days, and did not notice any movement. Now there is a report from Zhigu Pass that Li Jing has gone around to the back of Zhigu Pass in the evening and attacked Zhigu Pass, which is unbelievable.

"Grape! Qin Jun must have copied from the trail to the back of the pass. Jing Niang said in a deep voice, in the Battle of the Northern Dynasty, when Li Jing led the Zhenguo army into the Northern Dynasty, Shatuo also resisted the enemy at Zhigu Pass, and the Qin army found a small detour to break through Zhigu Pass.

"But we have already built three stone villages on the trail and blocked the trail, how can the Qin army break the three military villages in a row, and we can't get any news?" Jing Sanniang couldn't believe it.

But there is no other possibility than attacking from the trail. Li Jing couldn't have mastered a trail they hadn't discovered.

"What is the situation in the gate now, and how long can it be held?" Liu asked urgently.

Zhigu Pass is very important, if Zhigu Pass is lost, first of all, their 15,000 people will be surrounded by Li Jing. Immediately after, the southern part of Ulju will also be lost, and her husband has not yet rushed back, so it is very likely that he will be blocked by Li Jing.

"General Li Kening asked the little one to tell the princess that the thief army is overwhelming, and the Zhigu Pass is difficult to defend, so let the princess leave the Zhigu Pass alone, and directly find a way to go back to Yanmen, be careful of being besieged by Qin thieves, and leave quickly!"

Li Kening judged very clearly, since Li Jing could quietly break through the three small road military villages, he would be killed at the back of the pass. So now the movements of Liu's troops and horses must have been in Li Jing's grasp as early as possible, and he sent someone to report from the grapevine, just because he was afraid of being intercepted by Li Jing. Now he judged that Zhigu Pass could not be defended, so he asked Liu to immediately find a way to evacuate, and also to guard against Li Jing's possible ambush.

It's just that if Zhigu Pass is really lost, where can the Liu family retreat?

Zhigu Pass was their way out, and to the north, they had to break through Li Jing's camp, and then they had to enter the hinterland of the Datong army alone, go around in a big circle, and fight for thousands of miles before they could return to Yanmen. It's almost possible!

They have only one way to go, kill back to Naogu Pass, recapture Naogu Pass, and hold Naogu Pass!

"Immediately give the order, discard all unnecessary supplies, set off lightly, and immediately rush back to Zhigu Pass from the trail behind the valley." Liu ordered in a deep voice.

"Madam, the trail behind is difficult, and it will take more time to take that road." Jing Sanniang reminded.

Liu replied: "I know that although the other road is easy to take, I am afraid that Li Jing is already there now." ”

Torches were lit one after another in the valley camp, and the 15,000 Shatuo army began to abandon the camp and turn back to Zhigu Pass.

As soon as the soldiers and horses moved, the melodious horn sound had already been heard at the mouth of the valley in the north, falling back in the valley in the dark night, so thrilling!

As the trumpet sounded, countless lights of fire glowed like the shining scales on the body of a huge fire dragon.

Liu Yunniang straddled the horse, turned her head and stared at the northern valley mouth for a long time, her face was as usual.

After a long time, Liu Yunniang put her right hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, slowly pulled out the sword, waved it to the north, and said loudly: "Array, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The light of the fire drew closer, and the dull sound of footsteps kept approaching, converging.

In the valley, the two armies gradually approached, and at the end of the day, they stopped advancing at a distance of 100 paces.

The 15,000 Shatuo army, under the order of the Liu clan, lined up with their backs to the bottom of the valley.

The same number of 15,000 Qin troops, under the personal leadership of Li Jing, gradually advanced from the mouth of the valley and moved closer to the Shatuo army in the center of the valley.

Li Jing rode a yellow horse, followed by the silver wolf, standing under the fluttering Qin character daxu, looking at Liu who was riding a white horse at a hundred paces opposite.

30,000 horses and horses almost filled the entire valley, and the two armies faced each other densely, but they were almost silent.

The two armies confronted each other silently, Li Jing did not attack, and Liu did not order a retreat from the trail behind the valley.

Time passed slowly, and the two sides confronted each other in such a strange atmosphere for nearly half the night.

Seeing that the sky was slightly white and the morning light came, at this time, a horse galloped from outside the valley, breaking the strange tranquility in the valley.

The black war horse galloped to the front of the Qin army, and the knight immediately walked up to Li Jing to report it.

"Hahaha!" After listening to the report, Li Jing let out a loud voice, and then rode out of the column, came to the center of the front of the two armies, and said loudly: "Please General Liu come forward and answer!" ”

Liu Shi immediately looked at the face that was becoming clearer and clearer not far away, and was slightly stunned, although he was no stranger to the name Li Jing, it was the first time he could see a real person. Li Jing's face looks so young, compared with her husband, who is younger than Li Jing, but he feels that his husband seems to be older. Compared with her husband's one-eyed, ugly, and rude appearance and personality, Li Jing is handsome, chic, and speaks in a good voice.

Jing Niang whispered behind her: "Li Jing is within my range, let me shoot him with one arrow!" ”

Jing Sanniang said: "This is not appropriate, the secret arrow hurts people, and it is despicable." ”

"Shoot!" The Liu family in front suddenly spoke, her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking at this time!

Jing Niang was half-hidden on Liu's horse, quietly took out the horned bow, and then instead of pulling out the white feather arrow in the quiver at her waist, she took out three arrows from the Hu Lu taken from behind the saddle. The three arrows that are shorter than ordinary arrows, the black and faint dull and colorless arrow body, are all one and completely iron. The arrow of the arrow is a cut longer than the normal arrow, and it is a three-edged arrow.

Jing Niang took out three black iron triangular arrows, took out a small bottle from her boots, opened it carefully, and poured a drop of stenching blue liquid on each of the three arrows.

After doing all this, she put the three arrows together on the horn bow, and then, aiming, aimed at Li Jing in the center of the array! (To be continued......)
