It's a mess, it's a mess.

Lü Qian is a military commander under Qiao Rui, and the commander has a force of five songs, so logically speaking, he should be regarded as a small and powerful existence in Yuan Shu's army, but unfortunately he does not seem to be very valued by his colleagues; Born in the Donglai Wang clan, the family is also quite influential in the local area, and when he defected to Yuan Shu, he also recruited more than 1,000 people from his hometown, which shows that the reputation is indeed good, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be valued much by Yuan Shu; People are very smart, they know a lot, and they can do anything, but unfortunately they don't seem to be valued much by their subordinates.

But even so, looking at the scene in front of him, it still made the military Sima under Qiao Rui feel powerless for a while.

His two most elite cavalry squads were almost lost, and the vanguard general, who did not obey his orders too much, but had great potential, was detached, and his filthy head was still filled with the horror and reluctance of the end of his life.

Although there were more rebel corpses lying beside them, such a price still made Lu Qian feel a deep pain.

After all, this is not Bingzhou, Xiliang and Youzhou, as long as you want, you can pull out hundreds or even thousands of light horses casually. This is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and a war horse that may only be regarded as worthwhile in the north will become "worth a lot of money" here, and if the quality is a little better, it may be coaxed to a very high price.

This is the Central Plains, where there is no shortage of funds in the hands of the wealthy and powerful, and a good horse is of great significance in every way, and even in a sense, it can even become a proof of access to a certain circle.

Therefore, for Lu Gan, the cavalry of these two squads has already caught most of his net worth. It was also why he did not have a harmonious relationship with the vanguard general who commanded the cavalry team, but still let the other party become the commander - if it were not for that guy's generous sponsorship, with Lu Gan's financial resources and connections, even if he barely established a cavalry team, he would have been taken away by his colleagues.

It's a pity that the current situation is that "the God of Wealth has been lost and the soldiers have been broken", even the horses have either fallen in a pool of blood, or they have disappeared, and even some charred bones have not been left, and they have "disappeared" under the noses of Yuan Shujun, who guarded the county government.

Lu Gan now wished that he had ordered those light cavalry troops to guard the city gate, and he didn't want this to be the result.

Thinking of this, this military horse, who is not usually treated well by his colleagues, couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his mouth. If it weren't for the fear that some of his actions would make him lose his already little majesty again. I'm afraid that a mouthful of old blood will spurt out long ago.

I really don't know what his colleagues who liked to watch his jokes say after the war. But he didn't have a place to reason.

After thinking about a thousand words, in the end, he could only gather into a sigh, and ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the next battle.

Although Lu Qian was not welcomed. But not stupid. He was well aware that the commotion tonight was not normal. It must have something to do with the combined forces stationed in the city of Jiwu, which is not too far away, otherwise ten of the rebels and local tycoons who always like to make small moves in secret, they would not have jumped out so blatantly. Not to mention the execution of a bunch of fools just a few days ago.

Therefore, if there was no advance arrangement by Qiao Rui when he saw that the situation was not good, and if he waited until Chen Jun received the news and then sent troops, I was afraid that this Yangxia City would have already fallen into the hands of the United Army, and then the initiative would have gone to the United Army, and it would be very free to attack or defend.

Of course, maybe the Bingzhou army will not see it this way, in fact, even Li Shushi and Lu Bu feel that it is definitely a waste of resources to give up the running ability that the Bingzhou army is best at for the sake of a city, just as the flat grassland is the favorite terrain of the cavalry, and the vast plains of the Central Plains can also exert the strongest power of the cavalry.

Therefore, what happened in Yangxia City was destined not to be a lonely case, in fact, similar scenes also happened in other cities in Chenjun at this time, such as Fule City, which was not far from the west of Yangxia City, which was also chaotic.

It's just a little different from Yangxia City, the various forces involved in the rebellion here seem to be more organized, as if they are under the command of someone, even if the troops prepared by Qiao Rui rushed into the city, they still did not break the defense line composed of even a group of civilians and powerful private soldiers, and even as time went by, it seemed that they gradually fell into the upper hand.

"It's really strong, is this the most elite personal guard unit of the Bingzhou Army, which is known as the 'strongest army in the world', and it is really strong enough!"

"It's true that compared to them, we used to be like we were drinking at the player's house. If Yuan Da's bastard was committed at the hands of these people, even if he called ten times as many people, his head would be cut off. ”

"But we feel that we are already amazing, we are just young now, as long as we work hard, whether it is to establish meritorious service or to seal the shadow of a wife, it seems that if we are full of such thoughts in our hearts, maybe one day we will suffer a big loss because we underestimate our opponents, even if we die because of this, it is not surprising."

"But now that I have seen it, I will not be arrogant any longer, whether it is me or my soldiers, I will make them as strong as those guards, and let my soldiers also become troops that make the enemy fearful."

"Ayan, you said well, this is also my idea, I didn't expect you to be so consistent with my thoughts this time."

Speaking of which, although the foursome who infiltrated Fule also participated in this riot, except for Chen Dao, who is the "eldest sister", the other three all look very leisurely, if there is an enemy rushing towards them, they will fight with them, if not, they will not take the initiative to rush to the front, it can be said that they have a good stroke.

However, although the three of them are paddling, at least they themselves think that their behavior belongs to Yan zhòng's paddling, but probably because of some stimulation, the three of them have become more and more "impulsive", and various aggressive behaviors have become more and more active, especially the two boys who have already planned to make achievements, and they are staring at those murderous soldiers who exude the power of "example" not far away from them. While silently calculating the gap between himself and the other party.

So before you know it, the three of you have rushed to the front of the seat, and what kind of water and mouth are you paddling!

Well, teenagers are really fickle, especially after being stimulated by positive energy.

Although the three of them are no longer as laid-back as they were at the beginning, the battle situation still seems to be very anxious. On one side are ordinary people under the leadership of a small number of absolute elites, and on the other side are regular troops that can be regarded as trained anyway, even if the combat effectiveness is not very strong, but both equipment and combat experience are better than those ordinary people whose weapons are not sharp enough.

Even though these rabble were barely pinched together under the organization of experienced veterans, the fact that the defense line did not collapse and seemed to be able to drag down their enemy, and the most important thing was not how many of these people were good at commanding. It's because these veterans can often rush out at critical moments. Accurately stifle the possibility of collapse in the cradle.

But even though these veterans are extraordinary, they are not Xiaoqiang after all, they are not Zilong sauce, or even Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun. In such a situation. Even if Cao Chun came. If the guards who protected him were removed, the situation might have been even worse.

"Captain Bi, there's news from behind. The soldiers' recovery is not optimistic, we have brought not much rations left, and if the situation continues to be so stalemate after two moments, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on. ”

"The guy who commanded the battle in the back didn't have much ability, but he was very careful in this way, at least I couldn't catch any loopholes in him. Damn, the gates missed so fast that they rushed in almost unharmed. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, I didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net and opened the city gate......"

"Now is not the time to hold accountable, our forces are too scattered, and we need to find a way to gather them to make the most impact, otherwise we will be burned out little by little, like lamp oil gradually added to oil lamps......

Having said that, it can't go on here, because the captain surnamed Bi has found a gap that can go wrong, and he doesn't have time to explain anything, the captain surnamed Bi has already rushed over with a knife, and it seems that he can't retreat for a while.

Clenching the iron bow in her hand tightly, Chen Dao wanted to rush forward regardless of it, but she still remembered what the captain surnamed Bi had said to herself when she did this before, as well as the slap that still felt a little red and swollen now.

Although in such a scene, she can only rely on those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but she is also a proud woman, since she has understood the responsibility she should bear, she naturally will not choose to use a stunned way to escape, even if the willful impulse continues to surge in her heart, but she is firmly suppressed in her heart.

But despite this, in addition to making her seem to be "mature" a lot on the surface, it has no meaning for the change in the current situation. Even because I had to suppress the impulse in my body with my heart, my mind was completely blank.

As for her three companions, they were not around at this moment, and they could only conclude from the familiar voices faintly heard in the various noises that they were still safe, at least they still had the strength to scold, and they were all in good spirits.

Is there really no way?

Forcing herself to calm down, the girl looked around the battlefield.

At this time, the battle line was in a stalemate again, whether it was Yuan Shu's army who wanted to attack inward, or the rebel army who wanted to advance outward, they could not push the battle line forward. Soldiers kept falling, but in the next moment, the gap left by the dead would be quickly filled, and it was too late to even collect the corpses of their comrades, so the two sides continued to fight on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, with no intention of stopping at all, as if they had fallen into some evil spell, and turned into a group of monsters who only knew how to kill.

Both sides on the battlefield seem to have forgotten the fear of death, and are confident that the crown of victory will be taken by their own side, and the process of such a war must be extremely cruel, perhaps second only to the war with religious beliefs.

"It seems that Commander Chen is a little helpless about the current situation, do you need any help?"

Suddenly, a strange-sounding voice sounded in Chen Dao's ears, and the reason why he said this was because he spoke the language of the Han people. But it sounds like the first time a person who doesn't speak Chinese tries it, he always makes a sound that has no ups and downs at all, and every word makes people listen to it very strangely.

Of course, the Chinese spoken by this voice was not so strict, but it still made Chen Dao, who was accustomed to the Central Plains accent, feel uncomfortable.

Without turning her head, Chen Dao knew who was speaking, because it was the only civil official professional owner among Li Shushi's subordinates who had been sent to help her, but it was not the product of the four major shrines in the Central Plains, but a shaman from the northern grasslands.

Chen Dao had never been in contact with the shaman profession since she was born, or she had not even had much contact with aliens. However, among the soldiers sent by Li Shushi. There are a lot of people of different races, although they are quite different from the Central Plains people in appearance, but after communicating with those Bingzhou Hu people with straightforward and cheerful personalities, Chen Dao feels that these people have more appetite for her.

But. Except for the owner of this voice.

This middle-aged man named Hele -- taking into account the wind and frost of the grassland, of course. The apparent age of the steppe people is much older than the actual age - even on a normal day they are gloomy. It's as if everyone else owes him a lot of money, not only does he not like to laugh, but he doesn't even say anything. Only when you have to open your mouth to speak can you hear his somewhat strange tone.

The curious Hou Juan once inquired about the background of this person, but all he got was that this man was a prisoner obtained by Li Shushi when he repelled Xianbei Shan Yu and Lian, and later surrendered to the Bingzhou army with the Japanese law deduction. In addition, I only know that this person is very low-key on weekdays, although he has participated in many wars with the state army, and his appearance is not bad, but he is never publicized.

It shouldn't sound like a bad evaluation, but it is very difficult for anyone to interact with him, even the upright and fair Chen Dao or the cheerful and lovely Hou Juan can't change that frozen face and heart that may also be frozen. After a long time, Chen Dao also had to give up his efforts, and Hele seemed to like this result very much.

It's just that today, on this occasion, he suddenly came over, is he really planning to help himself?

Although he always felt that Hele's abnormal behavior was a little suspicious, Chen Dao also attached great importance to the outcome of this battle.

"Do you have a way? So why not say it sooner! Probably because of her anxiety, or because she didn't like the person in front of her very much, Chen Dao's tone of voice carried resentment that even she herself was not aware of.

"My method is never a good way, and if there is any other way, it will naturally not be my turn to make a fool of myself. It's just that it seems that Commander Chen doesn't seem to have any good way to solve the current dilemma, so in order to win, even if my method is not too good, it seems that it should be the best way, right? Beautiful woman. ”

Facing Chen Dao's aggressive eyes, He Le seemed unhurried, and even made a little sarcasm at the end of Chen Dao. Well, that's indeed sarcasm rather than teasing, at least in Chen Dao's opinion, the "old cloudy" face has not changed at all.

"Whew, whew...... What you say makes a lot of sense, and I really can't think of a better way, so I ask for your advice. ”

"Then before that, I have to confirm one more thing with Commander Chen, please think carefully before answering me."

"If you have anything to say, don't talk like this, I can tell you very clearly, for the victory of this battle, even if I have to sacrifice my own life, this is my promise to the lord, a promise that must be kept!"

"No, no, no, I think Commander Chen has misunderstood what he meant. Your willingness to make sacrifices was clear from the start, because that's who you are and that's what makes you admirable. But it has nothing to do with my problem. ”

"So what the hell do you want! Do you want to take the opportunity to make some very rude request? ”

"Haha, what a little girl. But you are the woman that the lord has a crush on, and no matter how anxious you are, you will not do such a self-defeating thing. It seems that if I don't explain it, Commander Chen will probably think of the incomprehensible Cheng dù. Waving his hand to stop Chen Dao, whose face was swollen and red, and wanted to refute, He Le continued:

"What I want to determine is whether Commander Chen is ready to sacrifice some of his subordinates for the sake of winning this battle."

"Why sacrifice them. Isn't there any other way? ”

Although He Le did not continue, Chen Dao already understood what the other party meant, although he didn't know the other party's plan yet, but he almost had a plan in his heart, anyway, it was nothing more than a regrouping organization that used some of his subordinates as outcasts in exchange for the strongest members of the pro-guard army on his side. After that, with the squad composed of members of the pro-guard army as the core, they will break through the ground formation and attack the core in one go, and at worst they will disrupt the rhythm of the enemy army and lead the situation to chaos, and then give full play to the advantages of their own personal combat ability in the chaos to hit the morale of the enemy army. Thus leading the battle to victory.

But there is a problem and a drawback to such an approach.

The question is how to make ordinary soldiers able to withstand the pressure of the enemy in a short time. This will buy time for the members of the Pro-Guard Army to regroup, after all, if this is not done, then it is very likely that the entire front will collapse instantly, which is by no means alarmist.

However, considering that Hele dared to propose such a proposal. I think there should be a solution. So Chen Dao is not worried.

The key question is: The downside of this strategy is that, as Hele said, someone needs to sacrifice.

Chen Dao doesn't need to be too precise to know. Such a sacrifice will definitely not be a small amount, not only those soldiers who are responsible for blocking the eye-catching and delaying time as outcasts will be sacrificed, but the subsequent chaotic battles are also likely to cause huge casualties to the rebel army, because without the dispatch of veterans and the maintenance of the battle line, it is difficult for these people, who are not even recruits, to bargain for anything in the hands of regular army soldiers like Yuan Shujun, even if the battle ends quickly, the battle losses caused during the period will be very huge.

Is it just for the sake of winning this battle that so many people must be sacrificed for this?

“…… Phew, I see, if you don't have a better way, just implement it according to your ideas. Just want me to agree to your plan, you have to agree to my request, or I'd rather charge with everyone! ”

Facing Hele's mocking face, Chen Dao tried to adjust his breathing, but he didn't continue to hesitate.

It is true that this plan will cost a lot of people, not perhaps but for sure. But if this plan is not executed, the odds of victory will become very difficult to determine. And if you lose, everyone present is afraid that you will have to ...... Die!

And that's not even counting the possibility that the relatives and friends of these participants would be punished jointly and severally after the war.

Having to sacrifice the voices of a small number of people for the survival of the majority of people has been encountered often when the foursome led some people in Chen County to resist Yuan Shujun, and she is not a soft-hearted coward who cannot make decisions.

"No, instead of using your body to protect the weak, it is better to use your command skills to end this battle as best you can. Not only will it be more advantageous to your advantage, but it may also be able to reduce unnecessary losses. What do you think, Commander Chen? ”

“…… I get it, I'm going to remember these lessons today and I'm going to try not to let it happen again in the future! ”

"I admire your courage, and you can rest assured that I will not let those who died in vain."

"Please!" The expression on Chen Dao's face was a mixture of expectation and determination, but her hands firmly grasped the iron bow in her hand.

And just as the battle situation in Fule City has entered a critical turning point, Yangxia City still seems to be not calm.

"It's really weak enough, with such an enemy, we don't have to be so careful and there is no problem at all, even if we kill all the way over, this Yuan Shujun will not be our opponent at all, what a waste of time."

Well, all the people around him once again ignored Xiao Qiang's broken thoughts, anyway, Xiao Qiang himself probably didn't think anyone would echo his thoughts, after all, Xiao Qiang knew very well that he was only suppressed in any aspect except his body, especially when discussing things like strategy and tactics, even many students in military schools were many times better than him in this regard.

Although if you really let each side lead 10,000 people, the win will basically be Xiaoqiang.

Not to mention that everyone's attention was now drawn to a torch that suddenly appeared in the distance.

"It should be Zixiao, this time is just right." Standing on the city gate tower and looking at Li Shushi in the distance, there was a faint smile on his face.

At his feet, however, were several corpses that had fallen to the ground - all of them belonged to Yuan Shujun. (To be continued......)
