Chapter 16: Be Smart
On the avenue three hundred kilometers away from Shengtian City, a large number of people and horses were marching slowly and unhurriedly under the scorching sun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were about 50,000 people in this army, and although the uniforms of the soldiers were very disheveled, they looked no different from ordinary homeless people from a distance, but the morale of this army was obviously extremely high.
"Q Chen, what do you think we will do after this battle, how about we annex Shen Faxing?" Under the banner of Li Zi of the Chinese army, a middle-aged man with an elegant and kind face asked a thin young man with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes beside him.
"Great King, this is a great good! Shen Faxing's wolf ambition is by no means good, and Du Fuwei dominates the hundred counties and is the only one. After our army won Shengtian, we only need to provoke the relationship between the two of them a little. Ha ha...... The minister was sure that there would be a great war between the two families! At that time, the king would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The thin young man's eyebrows fluttered, and he replied excitedly to Li Zitong.
"Hahaha...... It is really hateful that the hateful court has no eyes and has let a top-notch talent like you become a slave! You can rest assured that after this king has pacified the world, he will definitely not treat you badly. Li Zitong patted his chest and assured his only adviser, Mao Wenchen.
Just as the conversation between the two gentlemen and ministers was rising, a fast horse galloped towards them.
"Report to the king, the enemy camp has been found two hundred kilometers ahead!" replied the disgraced scout vaguely.
"How many people are there in the camp?" Mao Wenchen asked first.
Li Zitong's face changed suddenly, and after squinting his eyes and glancing at his adviser, he quietly waited for the scout's answer as if nothing had happened.
After a pause, the scout replied uncertainly, "Seventy or eighty thousand, maybe?"
"Impossible! Shengtian's total strength will not exceed 80,000! How can they come out of the nest? Mao Wenchen angrily ordered the scout.
After the scout left, Mao Wenchen seriously suggested to the lord: "King, it seems that Chen Leng really lives up to his reputation, and the enemy army is now on guard. My lord, before the enemy situation is known, I suggest that the soldiers should rest in place for a while to conserve their strength. ”
Li Zitong smiled at Mao Wenchen and asked, "Isn't Wenchen confident in his plan?"
"That's not what I meant, my lord. The 50,000 guards are famous all over the world, and after the victory of the heavens and the rebellion, even if one of the guards is not killed, then the Xiaoshi army will inevitably lose most of its strength, and vice versa. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the total strength of the enemy army to be more than ours, and our army will win this battle. That's why I ....... Before Mao Wenchen finished speaking, Li Zitong interrupted him with laughter.
"Hahaha...... In that case, why sit back and delay the warplane? Cheer up the spirit of this king and speed up the march! This king will be in the palace of the Dog Emperor tonight, and he will hold a banquet to celebrate your achievements!" Li Zitong confidently announced loudly to his soldiers.
Mao Wenchen saw that the morale of the army was rising at this time, and the soldiers began to speed up the march with confidence, so he had to sigh in his heart, and then sat on his horse with his head down and moved forward.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zitong's army marched 150 kilometers and finally stopped at a distance of 50 kilometers from the Xiaoshi army camp.
"Can you detect the exact number of enemy troops?" asked Li Zitong solemnly to the scout.
"Back to the king, I have found it, I have found it. Just now, the enemy army has poured out, and the position has been set up in front. We counted, and the enemy army was no more than 10,000 at most. The scout said excitedly.
When Li Zitong heard this, he immediately laughed and prepared to order the whole army to attack and kill the enemy's vanguard first.
It's a pity that before he could give the order, Mao Wenchen quarreled anxiously again.
"Impossible! Chen Leng is a famous general in the world, it is absolutely impossible to be arrogant, and he only leads more than 10,000 people to stop us!
After Li Zitong forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he asked calmly: "Is the military advisor saying that those enemy troops in front are just suspicious soldiers?"
"My Majesty, the entire army of the Legion of the Guards is a unique ghost warrior, the best at hiding, assassinating, guarding, and spying, how could they easily let us find it? With that, Mao Wenchen ordered two entourages to pull away the marching map.
After studying the map in front of him for a while, Mao Wenchen carefully pointed to a place on the map and said to the lord: "King, I'm sure that the real main force of the enemy army is ambushed here. If our army is engaged directly with the other side now, the main force of the enemy army will inevitably cover up from the rear, and then our army will be in danger. Your Majesty, please send scouts to check this place at once. ”
Li Zi informed himself that the matter was very important, so he hurriedly sent additional scouts to the dense forest twenty-five kilometers ahead to investigate.
After much effort, the scouts came back and told them that there were more than 20,000 samurai in ambush in the forest.
At this moment, Li Zitong was immediately overjoyed and prepared to march there immediately and completely annihilate the enemy's main force.
"No, it's still not right! My lord, the enemy situation is unclear now, so don't rush into the army. Mao Wenchen once again sang the opposite tune with the lord.
Li Zitong was almost angry with him, so he asked Mao Wenchen with a calm face: "In your opinion, what's wrong?"
After Mao Wenchen lowered his head and thought for a while, he raised his head and frowned and replied, "King, I can't say what is wrong." I had to go to both locations to find out the results. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Li Zitong's approval, rode a horse to the scout, and ran out of the army directly.
Li Zitong clenched his fists and looked at Mao Wenchen's back, and after a murderous flash on his face, he ordered the three armies to start resting in place.
Forty minutes later, Mao Wenchen rode back excitedly, and as he ran, he shouted happily and loudly: "Great joy, great ......。joy! When he came to Li Zitong's side, he quickly explained.
"My lord, twenty-five kilometers ahead, I only found 20,000 soldiers and horses of the enemy, and did not find the existence of the Su Guard. However, in the enemy camp 50 kilometers ahead, I not only found 10,000 enemy soldiers and horses, but also found clues to the Su Guards hiding here!
Although Li Zitong hates this subordinate very much now, he also said happily: "What does the military advisor mean is that the real main force of the enemy army is actually the enemy camp 50 kilometers away, and the 20,000 people 25 kilometers ahead are the real suspicious soldiers?"
As soon as Mao Wenchen heard what the lord said, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha...... If the king thinks like this, then it is a big mistake and a big mistake!" He didn't care that Li Zitong's face had turned black at this time, and he still continued to preach happily.
"Great King, the generals of the Sui army are trying to deceive our army. Fifty miles ahead, I found a patch of grass that seemed to be hidden by the Guards. But I dare to conclude that this must be an illusion created by the enemy! The real main force of the enemy must be in the dense forest 25 kilometers ahead. So...... , hahaha....... As he spoke, Mao Wenchen laughed again.
Li Zitong forcibly endured the killing intent in his heart, and continued with a stiff smile: "Therefore, as long as our army kills the main force of the enemy army twenty-five kilometers away, our army will definitely win this battle, right?"
"No, no, no, your lord, you are wrong. The reason why the minister wanted to congratulate the king was not because of this reason. Now that the enemy's main force is exhausted, the entire Shengtian City will be an empty city! As long as we can quickly break through the defense line of the 10,000 suspicious soldiers, then Shengtian City will be ours. At that time, the remaining 70,000 main forces of the enemy army will become a lone army! With 150,000 soldiers and horses defending the heavens, our army will be able to tell the king that he will surrender to Chen Leng. This is the real great joy!" Mao Wenchen Zhizhu said to the lord in his hand.
After Li Zitong understood the overall plan of his subordinates, he immediately burst out laughing, and then, he drew the sword beside him and pointed it at the sky, and ordered loudly to the fifty thousand shadow wolf legions.
"After the occupation of Shengtian, the gold and silver treasures, concubines and slaves of the Dog Emperor, and the king Ren Er and others snatched them at will!" After Li Zitong gave an order, the eyes of the 50,000 shadow wolf soldiers were red, and after a long roar in unison with excitement, they rushed towards Shengtian City like a pack of wolves hunting.
