"Combine!"
On the other side, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms also formed their own formation.
Li Wenhao didn't know if their formation was the legendary Macedonian phalanx, but it seemed that the momentum was really scary.
Wherever he stood, he was like an old turtle, covered in thorns all over his body, but his movement speed was also much slower.
"It's really something!"
Li Wenhao nodded seriously.
"Your Highness, aren't they imitating our camp!"
After being reminded by Yue Fei, Li Wenhao took a closer look and found that this was really the case.
However, there seems to be a saying that Dongshi imitates the frown, and another saying that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.
Although the enemy is imitating the style of play of the trapped camp, first of all, they must have the same sophisticated equipment.
The only thing they learned was to set up a huge shield, and then stretch out their spears to support the shield and resist the enemy's impact. As for the most quintessential crossbow arrows and Su Lie's command, they really didn't learn at all. .
You know, trapping camps has never been regarded as a defensive weapon, they have always been arrows to attack.
"But if this is the case, we still can't take it lightly!"
Yue Fei said cautiously, what he pays attention to in using troops is stability, stability in an open and aboveboard manner.
"Soldiers, kill!"
Li Cunxiao didn't care who the enemy in front of him was or how many people there were. As the only person in Datang who could catch Li Wenhao's full attack, he had his own pride.
In other words, Li Cunxiao is really second in the world.
Seeing that the enemy's formation has been set up, Yan Biluo in Li Cunxiao's hand swung vigorously at the enemy's weapon, and the enemies with long spears in the front row dropped their weapons one after another, while Yuwang's lance in the other hand swung vigorously at the enemy's weapon. With a stab at the enemy's shield, under the huge force, a gap was directly punched out in the enemy's shield formation.
"Follow a certain family to kill!"
Li Cunxiao took no excuses and went straight into the enemy's formation along the gap, and as he entered, the gap was widened wider and wider.
"Your Highness, will you still use me for this fragile army formation?"
General Lee alone is enough.
"Don't be careless, the enemy is not easy!"
Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Oh, what do you see?"
Li Wenhao asked Guo Jia beside him.
"I don't know, all I know is that the enemy's central army is not chaotic at all, and presumably there should be another way."
"Your Highness, Lu Fengxian and Jia Fu also fought against the enemy."
Guo Jia said while holding a telescope.
"saw"
Li Wenhao nodded, and has been closely watching the situation on the battlefield, ready to use the owl ghost army to deal the biggest blow to the enemy's [-] troops at any time.
It's a bit floating to say, but the fact is that each side has drawn 10 people to play a game, and this game is just a trial.
Just testing is a battle involving 20 people, and the intensity of this battle can be imagined.
"Your Highness!"
"what is that?"
Guo Jia stretched out his finger to point Li Wenhao in a direction, and took out his own binoculars to take a look. Li Wenhao almost didn't startle himself.
"Ming Jin!"
Li Wenhao didn't have time to think about it, so he could only make people ask for money, hoping that there was still time.
Because, he saw that behind the enemy, surrounded by a group of soldiers, there were three bows and bed crossbows.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Wenhao shook his head in disbelief, "How can they make bed crossbows? Who can tell me how the hell they can make bed crossbows?"
"Did someone in my Tang Dynasty leak the news?"
Ran Min scratched his head and asked.
"will not!"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu both said at the same time, "At the fairy dance, the people we sent out were craftsmen at best, but at worst, they knew how to make hoes, shovels and other things, not at all!"
"I can't handle that much anymore!"
"You are in the rear, and I will lead the owl ghost army to attack on the flanks, trying to destroy their bed crossbows, and no matter how bad they are, I will attract their bed crossbows' attention, so that Li Cunxiao and others can retreat."
"drive!"
Li Wenhao rushed down the hillside with the owl ghost army, made a big circle around the battlefield, chose a place where the bed crossbow could not cover, stabbed in obliquely, the goal was simple, it was the enemy's hidden big killer, Three-bow bed crossbow.
"General, His Royal Highness has called for gold!"
"what?"
Li Cunxiao glanced at the enemy general who was less than [-] steps away from him, and then looked back at his own camp, his eyes instantly became crazy.
"Is it scary to die?"
"Not afraid!"
"Okay, follow me, we'll retreat after taking the head of the enemy general."
"Here!"
On the hillside, Guo Jia and Jia Xu could clearly see that after hearing Ming Jin's voice, instead of retreating, Li Cunxiao charged even more violently, and both of them felt a thump.
Don't look at Li Wenhao's love for these ministers and brotherhood, but on the battlefield, no one has dared to violate Li Wenhao's will.
"It's over!"
Jia Xu and the others' hearts sank, this time, if Li Cunxiao can get back the enemy's head, it's fine, if he can't get it back, then I'm afraid he will take his own head in.
Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong, who were in charge of harassment on the periphery, did not retreat immediately after hearing the signal to retreat, but stopped the enemy's pursuit for Lu Bu and Jia Fu on the spot before retreating.
When they returned to the main formation, they also knew Li Cunxiao's actions, and they were also anxious to die.
"I'll go, I'll call back General Li!"
Relying on his superb martial arts skills, Gao Chong invited Ying to come.
"Don't go, it's too late."
At this time, Li Cunxiao had reached the best range of the bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow was also pushed out, no longer in a hidden state.
"The thief is cunning!"
Seeing the ferocious bed crossbow in front of him, how could Li Cunxiao not know why Li Wenhao retreated?
It's just that now, he's caught in a difficult situation, neither retreating nor advancing.
"No, gentlemen, if they use bed crossbows, they will definitely injure the enemy a thousand and themselves injure eight hundred..."
"It's useless, if it were me, even if it cost me two thousand, I would still fight!"
As a poisonous man, Jia Xu's words didn't fluctuate at all.
"Those who confronted Li Cunxiao were originally bait, but the enemy probably didn't expect that he would only catch such a small fish as Li Cunxiao when he released such a big bait."
"It's a good thing that General Ran Min didn't act in a hurry."
Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, it's too late to say anything now, we can only look at Li Wenhao, but after the troops on the left and right flanks withdrew, the enemy naturally put pressure on the ghost army led by Li Wenhao...
"Your Highness, look, General Li Cunxiao, he can't get out."
"I saw it, this Li Shisan, when I go back, don't take his skin off."
Li Wenhao could see clearly that Li Cunxiao was able to withdraw when he first called for gold. This guy was definitely greedy for credit, but now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing now is to take Li Cunxiao out. If possible, Li Wenhao would also I wanted to see, after the bed crossbow, what kind of backhands did this group of people have.
He didn't believe that this group of Westerners could still make red cannons?
"Li Cunxiao, don't stop, don't hesitate, go forward and kill!"
Li Wenhao's loud voice came into play at this time. When Li Cunxiao was at a loss, he suddenly had a backbone. Moreover, he was already invincible in the world, but he was just stunned for a while. What can a mere enemy do to him?
"javelin!"
Li Wenhao shouted, the only thing he can do now is to use the javelin in his hand to help Li Cunxiao relieve the pressure. As for whether Li Cunxiao and his tens of thousands of people can kill them in such a short time, it depends on God's will.
What Li Wenhao was most afraid of at this time was that the enemy would set up a horse pit in front of the bed crossbow and trip the horse rope. If this was the case, let alone Li Cunxiao, even the four great army gods of Bai Han and Li Yue would be helpless.
Whoosh whoosh!
The javelin shot out, aiming directly at the enemy's bed crossbow formation. Seeing the rain of javelins coming, the enemy's coach gritted his teeth and issued an order.
"Fire arrows!"
That's right, it was shooting arrows. This person had an immediate insight into Li Wenhao's thoughts. He wanted to use the javelin to suppress it, and then give Li Cunxiao time to charge.
It's a pity that the time was too short, and he didn't have time to not only trap in the front, but also fortifications such as ropes, otherwise he could completely keep all these enemies behind.
"Fire... an arrow?"
Those Western soldiers were obviously taken aback for a moment, because they didn't have the word "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" in their dictionary, or they didn't have such a high-end inheritance at all, so they were obviously taken aback when they heard this order.
"Quickly shoot the arrow!"
The commander of this 10-strong army drew out his sword and hacked to death a soldier who was still in a daze. He directly manipulated a bed crossbow and shot several sharp arrows.
but……
The bed crossbow is not a sniper rifle. Its accuracy rate is very worrying. Its lethality is great because it can be used in an organized way, not alone. After the crossbow flies out, it doesn't know where it went.
When he was thinking about giving an order, the javelins had already fallen...
"call!"
Seeing the enemy's soldiers manipulating the bed crossbow frantically dodging, Li Wenhao knew that Li Cunxiao's test had been passed for the time being.
"Quick, quick, line up to meet the enemy, and return to your positions!"
Li Wenhao only threw one round of the javelin, and the conditions only allowed him to throw one round. After throwing the javelin, he had to face the ant-like enemy in front of him.
10 people are enough to control a large-scale battle, but here, this is just a tentative attack.
Li Wenhao led an army of 10 owls and ghosts to march forward with difficulty among [-] people. Li Wenhao had gone from being covered in blood to being covered in blood clots.
The blood on his body has dried up, layer by layer...
"Your Highness, this group of people is a bit top-notch!"
Xiong Zhan, who was beside Li Wenhao, was also covered in blood and shouted.
"injured?"
"It's okay, I was bitten twice by mosquitoes!"
"The blades of these guards are a bit long, I was careless when I first came in!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Wenhao's spear once again swept away two enemies who wanted to attack.
"Follow me!"
"Let's rush!"
Li Wenhao pulled down his armor to let Xiong Zhan follow behind him, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and charged again.
This kind of killing like a ground meat grinder is the most test of the endurance of people and horses.
Especially in the current situation of deep siege, a group of good war horses can really be regarded as a second life.
Taking advantage of the horse's advantage, Li Wenhao's speed suddenly increased. He swung his spear, cleared the air in front of him, and then galloped quickly.
"Follow!"
Shouting behind him, Li Wenhao opened the way ahead.
Seeing that the enemy's bed crossbow was in front of him, a group of enemy soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared in front of Li Wenhao.
"careful!"
"Raise your shield!"
When Li Wenhao saw the enemy drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, he stared hard at the stirrup, and jumped up on the horse. When he was about to hit the ground, the spear hit the ground hard, like a pole vaulter. Pulled up again and jumped out far away.
By the time Li Wenhao landed, he had already fallen into the enemy's archers.
"hey-hey!"
Although he took the initiative to dismount and fight, the number one in the world is the number one in the world. Facing this group of archers who only wore short knives, Li Wenhao was completely a hungry wolf, a wolf rushing into the flock!
"Don't worry about me, target bed crossbow!"
"Here!"
Xiong Zhan roared, and looked enviously at Li Wenhao, who was surrounded by archers, and ran towards the enemy's bed crossbow with tears in his eyes. On the other side, did Li Cunxiao also shoot? the front of the position.
At this distance, if Li Cunxiao can still let the enemy operate the bed crossbow, then he can die.
"Kill it!"
Li Cunxiao is also like a tiger like a tiger. The two weapons in his hand can smash the bed crossbow with random swings. After all, the main structure of the bed crossbow is still wood.
As for the material of wood, in the eyes of generals like Li Cunxiao, it is not much different from tofu.
"Protect the bed crossbow!"
The enemy's general knew the value of these bed crossbows in his heart, the main reason was that they didn't know how to make them!
Although this thing looks simple, they really can't learn some of the mortise and tenon structures at the joints, not only can't learn it, but they can't understand it at all.
Before, they spent a lot of money to buy bed crossbow blueprints from Goguryeo people, and then took them back with difficulty. In the end, with all the efforts of the whole country, they only built more than a hundred of them, and now there are twenty of them here. , in order to give the enemy a head-on blow, did you think that it would be destroyed?
"Protect the bed crossbow, hurry up!"
Seeing that the bed crossbow was destroyed like a piece of paper under the tremendous force of Xiong Zhan and Li Cunxiao, this man really wanted to cry without tears.
"Anubis, you are finished!"
That's right, the general of this 10-man army is called Anubis, who has the same name as Death, but Egypt is in Africa, and they are obviously Europeans!
Fortunately, Li Wenhao doesn't understand foreign gods and ghosts. After all, they can't beat the Three Qings and Four Royals, the Jade Emperor.
"Yes, I'm done!"
Looking at the destroyed bed crossbow, Anubis had imagined what he was about to face.
Next, he may be reduced to a soldier, and then his family, the family that honors him, will be beaten into a pariah or even a slave. Poor food.
"No, it can't be like that!"
"Amilo, I'm not done yet!"
"It was you, you were the one who insisted on moving the bed crossbow out, and you used the bed crossbow without permission!"
"Come on, take down Amiro!"
"You...what are you going to do?"
Amilo looked at Anubis, panicked in his eyes, and he also knew what he was going to face after losing twenty bed crossbows.
"Hey hey hey!"
"Amilo, don't worry, I will take your family into my territory and give them two manors, so that they can live their lives in peace and prosperity, and you can die in peace, my beloved father in law!"
After finishing speaking, he took out the battleship and stabbed Amilo fiercely in the stomach, "I forgot to tell you, I have coveted your daughter for a long time, but why has he been ignoring me?"
"When I go back this time, I think he will take the initiative to climb into my bed. After all, milk, bread, or cheap rice is all on his mind."
"Take his head back!"
"retreat!"
It was meaningless to fight this battle. Although this Anubis was insidious, he was definitely a good commander. He knew that if the fight continued, he would not be able to keep the enemy, and he might even lose more.
After all, their ultimate weapon in this battle is the bed crossbow. Now that the bed crossbow is gone, this trial is meaningless.
"The enemy has retreated!"
Li Wenhao saw that the enemy didn't even want the battalion, and ran back directly. He breathed a sigh of relief. If the enemy didn't retreat, he could only order the whole army to attack again. This kind of attack is like a meat grinder , if it is not necessary, he really does not want to fight, after all, the lives of soldiers are also lives!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Li Wenhao, who had returned to the camp, was pouring buckets of heavy water down, and the blood that had dried up was dissolved little by little under the washing of the water, and was washed down. After a while, Li Wenhao's side had gathered into Rivers of blood formed.
Behind him, Tang Jun's high-ranking officials knelt there respectfully.
"Your Highness, although Li Cunxiao is reckless, but he is also for the victory, it is understandable!"
"I hope His Highness will remember Li Cunxiao's military achievements in the past, so that he will be spared the death penalty, and let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds!"
Jia Xu, who was the first to follow Li Wenhao, spoke persuasively.
Ever since he returned to the camp, Li Wenhao hadn't said a word. Everyone knew that when Li Wenhao spoke, it must have been a violent storm.
"Li Cunxiao's life is his life, so those brothers who follow him deserve to die?"
"He Li Cunxiao is invincible in the world, why didn't he see how many unjustly killed brothers are behind him?"
Li Wenhao tore off his battle armor and threw it on the ground. He sat shirtless next to the well, looking at the kneeling crowd with unusually cold eyes.
"Also, can anyone tell me why they have the bed crossbow? Who leaked the bed crossbow?"
"Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, is this how you are in charge of Jinyiwei?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
The two kowtowed like pounding garlic, not caring at all that their foreheads had turned iron blue.
"You guys are really damned, just because of your negligence, I almost lost [-] brothers today, or even more!"
"Your Highness, the battle is imminent, and it is not appropriate to kill generals. You should save their heads first, and calculate later!"
Those who dare to speak at this time are either those who speak well, or those who are not afraid of death.
The one who speaks well is naturally Empress Changsun, but unfortunately he is not here, so it can only be Liu Bowen who is not afraid of death.
"Liu Bowen, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you also intercede for them?"
"Your Highness, it is precisely because I am the Minister of the Ministry of War that I speak."
"well!"
"Li Cunxiao!"
"The end is here!"
Li Cunxiao's words already carried a hint of death will, they have been with Li Wenhao for so long and they all know what Li Wenhao's Nilin is, and the most important point is not to take the soldiers' lives as their own.
"In this battle, 620 brothers were killed, 100 people were slightly injured, and 300 people were seriously injured and needed to leave the barracks."
"You don't need to worry about the minor injuries. For these brothers who died in battle and those who were seriously injured, you pay half of the pension. If you don't have it, it will be deducted from your fief and your future merits. It's over."
"Thank you Your Highness for not killing me!"
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what, Li Cunxiao's life was saved.
"Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, you Jinyiwei will be fined for three months from you, and your four commanders will demote their officers by half a rank. Find out why the bed crossbow leaked out!"
"If I can leak the bed crossbow today, will the enemy also bombard me with the red cannon tomorrow?"
"Tell me every day, you Jinyiwei monitor the world, shit!"
"If you can't do this well, all of you Jinyiwei will commit suicide!"
"Yes!"
Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes. This is completely rootless water, and there is nowhere to check.
Moreover, they are far away in the grassland now, and there are too many places where Datang can leak such things. After all, every Protector's Mansion and every General Manager's Mansion has a corresponding craftsman department.
"Get up!"
"Tell me, how do we fight next?"
Li Wenhao was sitting by the mouth of the well, these people naturally did not dare to enter the tent, everyone just sat on the ground and analyzed the current situation.
"Your Highness, I think we must be prepared for a protracted battle in this battle."
"Since the enemy can come, they must come prepared. Although our Tang Dynasty has a strong military force, the number of people we can deploy is indeed limited. If there are too many, it will affect the defense of the frontier. Therefore, for this battle, we mainly One word, please!"
"After all, our logistics is superior to theirs. Chen suggested that we treat the entire grassland as a battlefield and fight a tug-of-war with them."
"We don't need too much confrontation. We just need to stick to the enemy and defend the Great Wall. At least three months, as long as half a year, the enemy will definitely show up."
As Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Bowen made a comprehensive plan for this war.
However, anyone who is familiar with Li Wenhao knows that what Li Wenhao dislikes the most is this grinding style of play, he likes a vigorous and vigorous style of play.
Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Liu Bowen's strategy as an alternative.
"Your Highness, perhaps, we can also copy the style of play we used to fight the Turks."
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and after nodding each other, Guo Jia spoke.
"How to copy?"
"Take a risk!"
Guo Jia reached out and pulled out Xiong Zhan's saber, and began to draw on the ground carelessly.
"At the beginning, when fighting the Turks, Ran Min led his beggar army all the way west, directly copied the old nest of the Western Turks, and then disturbed the enemy's morale. We worked hard together."
"Today, we can do the same."
"We can let Bai Qi, who is far away on the southwestern plateau, go down to the plateau, out of the snow-capped mountains, and go straight to Dashi!"
"Let Li Daozong lead the Hanzhong defenders to the plateau and guard Lhasa!"
"At the same time, let Huo Qubing go across the Tianshan Mountains and take Dashi directly. The two armies will attack in two ways. Let's take a draught from the bottom of the pot."
"And I concluded that the enemy's logistics supplies must be dispatched in Dashi. We sent Bai Qi and Huo Qubing there, and we can also cut off the enemy's logistics."
"Finally, let's give them another ambush!"
Guo Jia thrust the saber into the ground and clenched it tightly with five fingers.
"Okay, what an ambush!"
"In this way, I will add another fire to you!"
"Order Han Xin's army not to go south, let him go directly to the pass and wait for the opportunity at Yumen Pass."
"Firstly, it can deter the already empty Western Regions, and secondly, it can also send troops at critical moments to split the enemy's long snake in two!"
"So, the battle is over!"
"Then it's decided."
Li Wenhao made a final decision, and returned to his big tent happily, but Liu Bowen shook his head appreciatively.
It is undeniable that Guo Jia's strategy can indeed win quickly, but it is also accompanied by risks, such as crossing snow mountains and Tianshan Mountains. This is an invisible enemy. In addition, they are not familiar with the terrain of the Great Food Kingdom. What if someone does a mental calculation without thinking?
Taking ten thousand steps back, if those small countries in the south find that the plateau is empty, the Western Regions are empty, and the soldiers are in one place...
Although Liu Bowen's strategy is slow to bear fruit, at least it is stable!
Play steadily and steadily, there are not so many desperate ways to play.
"Your Highness..."
"Look, I said he would come!"
At this time, in Li Wenhao's big tent, Yue Fei, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu were all there.
"His Highness is waiting for me?"
"Nature is waiting for you, I know what you want to say."
Li Wenhao glanced at Liu Bowen, "But let me tell you the truth, I, Datang, can't afford him."
"If we fight quickly, those small countries around us will be afraid of us, afraid of us and dare not send troops, but if we suddenly stretch the front line with the enemy and start a tug-of-war, those countries around us will be ready to move instead."
"Taking a step back, the prairie just now looks good, I don't want to be trampled by this group of people,"
"Although Guo Jia's strategy is risky, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for this time."
"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you should know that the neighbors around us are not good people..."
"Especially my father-in-laws who are still alive, they don't want to tear a piece of flesh off me all the time."
"Understood, Your Highness, I am short-sighted."
Liu Bowen bowed and said.
"It's not that you are short-sighted, it's that you, as the minister of the Ministry of War, naturally have to start from the perspective that is most beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, but we can't just look at the present."
"I can tell you clearly that even if those three countries have hit my doorstep, I will never take revenge right away, because the time is not yet ripe."
"We'll wait until the West Great Wall is repaired!"
This is also the purpose of Li Wenhao's construction of the West Great Wall. He wants to completely put an end to the rise of the grassland peoples, and at the same time, to completely put an end to the era of cold weapons, so that those Westerners can fight over.
Li Wenhao will only attack when he first makes himself invincible, and the most important point is logistical support.
The biggest difference between Li Wenhao and the Western Three Kingdoms is that Li Wenhao knows what is human nature.
If he is now on an expedition, the ones who die the most are not the soldiers, but the civilians who maintain Qiuba's logistics.
Thinking about it in another way, I can be sure that the Three Kingdoms also dropped a lot of corpses on their way to Datang.
Li Wenhao would not do this kind of thing that draws salary from the bottom of his pot.
Now that the steam engine has slowly taken shape, and the train has begun to be developed, all he needs is a little time.
"Your Highness, General Su Lie has come to report that he has set up the artillery positions of the Shenji Battalion, and the address is Benlangyuan!"
On the other side, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms also formed their own formation.
Li Wenhao didn't know if their formation was the legendary Macedonian phalanx, but it seemed that the momentum was really scary.
Wherever he stood, he was like an old turtle, covered in thorns all over his body, but his movement speed was also much slower.
"It's really something!"
Li Wenhao nodded seriously.
"Your Highness, aren't they imitating our camp!"
After being reminded by Yue Fei, Li Wenhao took a closer look and found that this was really the case.
However, there seems to be a saying that Dongshi imitates the frown, and another saying that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.
Although the enemy is imitating the style of play of the trapped camp, first of all, they must have the same sophisticated equipment.
The only thing they learned was to set up a huge shield, and then stretch out their spears to support the shield and resist the enemy's impact. As for the most quintessential crossbow arrows and Su Lie's command, they really didn't learn at all. .
You know, trapping camps has never been regarded as a defensive weapon, they have always been arrows to attack.
"But if this is the case, we still can't take it lightly!"
Yue Fei said cautiously, what he pays attention to in using troops is stability, stability in an open and aboveboard manner.
"Soldiers, kill!"
Li Cunxiao didn't care who the enemy in front of him was or how many people there were. As the only person in Datang who could catch Li Wenhao's full attack, he had his own pride.
In other words, Li Cunxiao is really second in the world.
Seeing that the enemy's formation has been set up, Yan Biluo in Li Cunxiao's hand swung vigorously at the enemy's weapon, and the enemies with long spears in the front row dropped their weapons one after another, while Yuwang's lance in the other hand swung vigorously at the enemy's weapon. With a stab at the enemy's shield, under the huge force, a gap was directly punched out in the enemy's shield formation.
"Follow a certain family to kill!"
Li Cunxiao took no excuses and went straight into the enemy's formation along the gap, and as he entered, the gap was widened wider and wider.
"Your Highness, will you still use me for this fragile army formation?"
General Lee alone is enough.
"Don't be careless, the enemy is not easy!"
Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Oh, what do you see?"
Li Wenhao asked Guo Jia beside him.
"I don't know, all I know is that the enemy's central army is not chaotic at all, and presumably there should be another way."
"Your Highness, Lu Fengxian and Jia Fu also fought against the enemy."
Guo Jia said while holding a telescope.
"saw"
Li Wenhao nodded, and has been closely watching the situation on the battlefield, ready to use the owl ghost army to deal the biggest blow to the enemy's [-] troops at any time.
It's a bit floating to say, but the fact is that each side has drawn 10 people to play a game, and this game is just a trial.
Just testing is a battle involving 20 people, and the intensity of this battle can be imagined.
"Your Highness!"
"what is that?"
Guo Jia stretched out his finger to point Li Wenhao in a direction, and took out his own binoculars to take a look. Li Wenhao almost didn't startle himself.
"Ming Jin!"
Li Wenhao didn't have time to think about it, so he could only make people ask for money, hoping that there was still time.
Because, he saw that behind the enemy, surrounded by a group of soldiers, there were three bows and bed crossbows.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Li Wenhao shook his head in disbelief, "How can they make bed crossbows? Who can tell me how the hell they can make bed crossbows?"
"Did someone in my Tang Dynasty leak the news?"
Ran Min scratched his head and asked.
"will not!"
Guo Jia and Jia Xu both said at the same time, "At the fairy dance, the people we sent out were craftsmen at best, but at worst, they knew how to make hoes, shovels and other things, not at all!"
"I can't handle that much anymore!"
"You are in the rear, and I will lead the owl ghost army to attack on the flanks, trying to destroy their bed crossbows, and no matter how bad they are, I will attract their bed crossbows' attention, so that Li Cunxiao and others can retreat."
"drive!"
Li Wenhao rushed down the hillside with the owl ghost army, made a big circle around the battlefield, chose a place where the bed crossbow could not cover, stabbed in obliquely, the goal was simple, it was the enemy's hidden big killer, Three-bow bed crossbow.
"General, His Royal Highness has called for gold!"
"what?"
Li Cunxiao glanced at the enemy general who was less than [-] steps away from him, and then looked back at his own camp, his eyes instantly became crazy.
"Is it scary to die?"
"Not afraid!"
"Okay, follow me, we'll retreat after taking the head of the enemy general."
"Here!"
On the hillside, Guo Jia and Jia Xu could clearly see that after hearing Ming Jin's voice, instead of retreating, Li Cunxiao charged even more violently, and both of them felt a thump.
Don't look at Li Wenhao's love for these ministers and brotherhood, but on the battlefield, no one has dared to violate Li Wenhao's will.
"It's over!"
Jia Xu and the others' hearts sank, this time, if Li Cunxiao can get back the enemy's head, it's fine, if he can't get it back, then I'm afraid he will take his own head in.
Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong, who were in charge of harassment on the periphery, did not retreat immediately after hearing the signal to retreat, but stopped the enemy's pursuit for Lu Bu and Jia Fu on the spot before retreating.
When they returned to the main formation, they also knew Li Cunxiao's actions, and they were also anxious to die.
"I'll go, I'll call back General Li!"
Relying on his superb martial arts skills, Gao Chong invited Ying to come.
"Don't go, it's too late."
At this time, Li Cunxiao had reached the best range of the bed crossbow, and the bed crossbow was also pushed out, no longer in a hidden state.
"The thief is cunning!"
Seeing the ferocious bed crossbow in front of him, how could Li Cunxiao not know why Li Wenhao retreated?
It's just that now, he's caught in a difficult situation, neither retreating nor advancing.
"No, gentlemen, if they use bed crossbows, they will definitely injure the enemy a thousand and themselves injure eight hundred..."
"It's useless, if it were me, even if it cost me two thousand, I would still fight!"
As a poisonous man, Jia Xu's words didn't fluctuate at all.
"Those who confronted Li Cunxiao were originally bait, but the enemy probably didn't expect that he would only catch such a small fish as Li Cunxiao when he released such a big bait."
"It's a good thing that General Ran Min didn't act in a hurry."
Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, it's too late to say anything now, we can only look at Li Wenhao, but after the troops on the left and right flanks withdrew, the enemy naturally put pressure on the ghost army led by Li Wenhao...
"Your Highness, look, General Li Cunxiao, he can't get out."
"I saw it, this Li Shisan, when I go back, don't take his skin off."
Li Wenhao could see clearly that Li Cunxiao was able to withdraw when he first called for gold. This guy was definitely greedy for credit, but now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing now is to take Li Cunxiao out. If possible, Li Wenhao would also I wanted to see, after the bed crossbow, what kind of backhands did this group of people have.
He didn't believe that this group of Westerners could still make red cannons?
"Li Cunxiao, don't stop, don't hesitate, go forward and kill!"
Li Wenhao's loud voice came into play at this time. When Li Cunxiao was at a loss, he suddenly had a backbone. Moreover, he was already invincible in the world, but he was just stunned for a while. What can a mere enemy do to him?
"javelin!"
Li Wenhao shouted, the only thing he can do now is to use the javelin in his hand to help Li Cunxiao relieve the pressure. As for whether Li Cunxiao and his tens of thousands of people can kill them in such a short time, it depends on God's will.
What Li Wenhao was most afraid of at this time was that the enemy would set up a horse pit in front of the bed crossbow and trip the horse rope. If this was the case, let alone Li Cunxiao, even the four great army gods of Bai Han and Li Yue would be helpless.
Whoosh whoosh!
The javelin shot out, aiming directly at the enemy's bed crossbow formation. Seeing the rain of javelins coming, the enemy's coach gritted his teeth and issued an order.
"Fire arrows!"
That's right, it was shooting arrows. This person had an immediate insight into Li Wenhao's thoughts. He wanted to use the javelin to suppress it, and then give Li Cunxiao time to charge.
It's a pity that the time was too short, and he didn't have time to not only trap in the front, but also fortifications such as ropes, otherwise he could completely keep all these enemies behind.
"Fire... an arrow?"
Those Western soldiers were obviously taken aback for a moment, because they didn't have the word "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" in their dictionary, or they didn't have such a high-end inheritance at all, so they were obviously taken aback when they heard this order.
"Quickly shoot the arrow!"
The commander of this 10-strong army drew out his sword and hacked to death a soldier who was still in a daze. He directly manipulated a bed crossbow and shot several sharp arrows.
but……
The bed crossbow is not a sniper rifle. Its accuracy rate is very worrying. Its lethality is great because it can be used in an organized way, not alone. After the crossbow flies out, it doesn't know where it went.
When he was thinking about giving an order, the javelins had already fallen...
"call!"
Seeing the enemy's soldiers manipulating the bed crossbow frantically dodging, Li Wenhao knew that Li Cunxiao's test had been passed for the time being.
"Quick, quick, line up to meet the enemy, and return to your positions!"
Li Wenhao only threw one round of the javelin, and the conditions only allowed him to throw one round. After throwing the javelin, he had to face the ant-like enemy in front of him.
10 people are enough to control a large-scale battle, but here, this is just a tentative attack.
Li Wenhao led an army of 10 owls and ghosts to march forward with difficulty among [-] people. Li Wenhao had gone from being covered in blood to being covered in blood clots.
The blood on his body has dried up, layer by layer...
"Your Highness, this group of people is a bit top-notch!"
Xiong Zhan, who was beside Li Wenhao, was also covered in blood and shouted.
"injured?"
"It's okay, I was bitten twice by mosquitoes!"
"The blades of these guards are a bit long, I was careless when I first came in!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Wenhao's spear once again swept away two enemies who wanted to attack.
"Follow me!"
"Let's rush!"
Li Wenhao pulled down his armor to let Xiong Zhan follow behind him, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and charged again.
This kind of killing like a ground meat grinder is the most test of the endurance of people and horses.
Especially in the current situation of deep siege, a group of good war horses can really be regarded as a second life.
Taking advantage of the horse's advantage, Li Wenhao's speed suddenly increased. He swung his spear, cleared the air in front of him, and then galloped quickly.
"Follow!"
Shouting behind him, Li Wenhao opened the way ahead.
Seeing that the enemy's bed crossbow was in front of him, a group of enemy soldiers with bows and arrows suddenly appeared in front of Li Wenhao.
"careful!"
"Raise your shield!"
When Li Wenhao saw the enemy drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, he stared hard at the stirrup, and jumped up on the horse. When he was about to hit the ground, the spear hit the ground hard, like a pole vaulter. Pulled up again and jumped out far away.
By the time Li Wenhao landed, he had already fallen into the enemy's archers.
"hey-hey!"
Although he took the initiative to dismount and fight, the number one in the world is the number one in the world. Facing this group of archers who only wore short knives, Li Wenhao was completely a hungry wolf, a wolf rushing into the flock!
"Don't worry about me, target bed crossbow!"
"Here!"
Xiong Zhan roared, and looked enviously at Li Wenhao, who was surrounded by archers, and ran towards the enemy's bed crossbow with tears in his eyes. On the other side, did Li Cunxiao also shoot? the front of the position.
At this distance, if Li Cunxiao can still let the enemy operate the bed crossbow, then he can die.
"Kill it!"
Li Cunxiao is also like a tiger like a tiger. The two weapons in his hand can smash the bed crossbow with random swings. After all, the main structure of the bed crossbow is still wood.
As for the material of wood, in the eyes of generals like Li Cunxiao, it is not much different from tofu.
"Protect the bed crossbow!"
The enemy's general knew the value of these bed crossbows in his heart, the main reason was that they didn't know how to make them!
Although this thing looks simple, they really can't learn some of the mortise and tenon structures at the joints, not only can't learn it, but they can't understand it at all.
Before, they spent a lot of money to buy bed crossbow blueprints from Goguryeo people, and then took them back with difficulty. In the end, with all the efforts of the whole country, they only built more than a hundred of them, and now there are twenty of them here. , in order to give the enemy a head-on blow, did you think that it would be destroyed?
"Protect the bed crossbow, hurry up!"
Seeing that the bed crossbow was destroyed like a piece of paper under the tremendous force of Xiong Zhan and Li Cunxiao, this man really wanted to cry without tears.
"Anubis, you are finished!"
That's right, the general of this 10-man army is called Anubis, who has the same name as Death, but Egypt is in Africa, and they are obviously Europeans!
Fortunately, Li Wenhao doesn't understand foreign gods and ghosts. After all, they can't beat the Three Qings and Four Royals, the Jade Emperor.
"Yes, I'm done!"
Looking at the destroyed bed crossbow, Anubis had imagined what he was about to face.
Next, he may be reduced to a soldier, and then his family, the family that honors him, will be beaten into a pariah or even a slave. Poor food.
"No, it can't be like that!"
"Amilo, I'm not done yet!"
"It was you, you were the one who insisted on moving the bed crossbow out, and you used the bed crossbow without permission!"
"Come on, take down Amiro!"
"You...what are you going to do?"
Amilo looked at Anubis, panicked in his eyes, and he also knew what he was going to face after losing twenty bed crossbows.
"Hey hey hey!"
"Amilo, don't worry, I will take your family into my territory and give them two manors, so that they can live their lives in peace and prosperity, and you can die in peace, my beloved father in law!"
After finishing speaking, he took out the battleship and stabbed Amilo fiercely in the stomach, "I forgot to tell you, I have coveted your daughter for a long time, but why has he been ignoring me?"
"When I go back this time, I think he will take the initiative to climb into my bed. After all, milk, bread, or cheap rice is all on his mind."
"Take his head back!"
"retreat!"
It was meaningless to fight this battle. Although this Anubis was insidious, he was definitely a good commander. He knew that if the fight continued, he would not be able to keep the enemy, and he might even lose more.
After all, their ultimate weapon in this battle is the bed crossbow. Now that the bed crossbow is gone, this trial is meaningless.
"The enemy has retreated!"
Li Wenhao saw that the enemy didn't even want the battalion, and ran back directly. He breathed a sigh of relief. If the enemy didn't retreat, he could only order the whole army to attack again. This kind of attack is like a meat grinder , if it is not necessary, he really does not want to fight, after all, the lives of soldiers are also lives!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Li Wenhao, who had returned to the camp, was pouring buckets of heavy water down, and the blood that had dried up was dissolved little by little under the washing of the water, and was washed down. After a while, Li Wenhao's side had gathered into Rivers of blood formed.
Behind him, Tang Jun's high-ranking officials knelt there respectfully.
"Your Highness, although Li Cunxiao is reckless, but he is also for the victory, it is understandable!"
"I hope His Highness will remember Li Cunxiao's military achievements in the past, so that he will be spared the death penalty, and let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds!"
Jia Xu, who was the first to follow Li Wenhao, spoke persuasively.
Ever since he returned to the camp, Li Wenhao hadn't said a word. Everyone knew that when Li Wenhao spoke, it must have been a violent storm.
"Li Cunxiao's life is his life, so those brothers who follow him deserve to die?"
"He Li Cunxiao is invincible in the world, why didn't he see how many unjustly killed brothers are behind him?"
Li Wenhao tore off his battle armor and threw it on the ground. He sat shirtless next to the well, looking at the kneeling crowd with unusually cold eyes.
"Also, can anyone tell me why they have the bed crossbow? Who leaked the bed crossbow?"
"Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, is this how you are in charge of Jinyiwei?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
The two kowtowed like pounding garlic, not caring at all that their foreheads had turned iron blue.
"You guys are really damned, just because of your negligence, I almost lost [-] brothers today, or even more!"
"Your Highness, the battle is imminent, and it is not appropriate to kill generals. You should save their heads first, and calculate later!"
Those who dare to speak at this time are either those who speak well, or those who are not afraid of death.
The one who speaks well is naturally Empress Changsun, but unfortunately he is not here, so it can only be Liu Bowen who is not afraid of death.
"Liu Bowen, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you also intercede for them?"
"Your Highness, it is precisely because I am the Minister of the Ministry of War that I speak."
"well!"
"Li Cunxiao!"
"The end is here!"
Li Cunxiao's words already carried a hint of death will, they have been with Li Wenhao for so long and they all know what Li Wenhao's Nilin is, and the most important point is not to take the soldiers' lives as their own.
"In this battle, 620 brothers were killed, 100 people were slightly injured, and 300 people were seriously injured and needed to leave the barracks."
"You don't need to worry about the minor injuries. For these brothers who died in battle and those who were seriously injured, you pay half of the pension. If you don't have it, it will be deducted from your fief and your future merits. It's over."
"Thank you Your Highness for not killing me!"
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what, Li Cunxiao's life was saved.
"Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, you Jinyiwei will be fined for three months from you, and your four commanders will demote their officers by half a rank. Find out why the bed crossbow leaked out!"
"If I can leak the bed crossbow today, will the enemy also bombard me with the red cannon tomorrow?"
"Tell me every day, you Jinyiwei monitor the world, shit!"
"If you can't do this well, all of you Jinyiwei will commit suicide!"
"Yes!"
Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes. This is completely rootless water, and there is nowhere to check.
Moreover, they are far away in the grassland now, and there are too many places where Datang can leak such things. After all, every Protector's Mansion and every General Manager's Mansion has a corresponding craftsman department.
"Get up!"
"Tell me, how do we fight next?"
Li Wenhao was sitting by the mouth of the well, these people naturally did not dare to enter the tent, everyone just sat on the ground and analyzed the current situation.
"Your Highness, I think we must be prepared for a protracted battle in this battle."
"Since the enemy can come, they must come prepared. Although our Tang Dynasty has a strong military force, the number of people we can deploy is indeed limited. If there are too many, it will affect the defense of the frontier. Therefore, for this battle, we mainly One word, please!"
"After all, our logistics is superior to theirs. Chen suggested that we treat the entire grassland as a battlefield and fight a tug-of-war with them."
"We don't need too much confrontation. We just need to stick to the enemy and defend the Great Wall. At least three months, as long as half a year, the enemy will definitely show up."
As Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Bowen made a comprehensive plan for this war.
However, anyone who is familiar with Li Wenhao knows that what Li Wenhao dislikes the most is this grinding style of play, he likes a vigorous and vigorous style of play.
Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Liu Bowen's strategy as an alternative.
"Your Highness, perhaps, we can also copy the style of play we used to fight the Turks."
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and after nodding each other, Guo Jia spoke.
"How to copy?"
"Take a risk!"
Guo Jia reached out and pulled out Xiong Zhan's saber, and began to draw on the ground carelessly.
"At the beginning, when fighting the Turks, Ran Min led his beggar army all the way west, directly copied the old nest of the Western Turks, and then disturbed the enemy's morale. We worked hard together."
"Today, we can do the same."
"We can let Bai Qi, who is far away on the southwestern plateau, go down to the plateau, out of the snow-capped mountains, and go straight to Dashi!"
"Let Li Daozong lead the Hanzhong defenders to the plateau and guard Lhasa!"
"At the same time, let Huo Qubing go across the Tianshan Mountains and take Dashi directly. The two armies will attack in two ways. Let's take a draught from the bottom of the pot."
"And I concluded that the enemy's logistics supplies must be dispatched in Dashi. We sent Bai Qi and Huo Qubing there, and we can also cut off the enemy's logistics."
"Finally, let's give them another ambush!"
Guo Jia thrust the saber into the ground and clenched it tightly with five fingers.
"Okay, what an ambush!"
"In this way, I will add another fire to you!"
"Order Han Xin's army not to go south, let him go directly to the pass and wait for the opportunity at Yumen Pass."
"Firstly, it can deter the already empty Western Regions, and secondly, it can also send troops at critical moments to split the enemy's long snake in two!"
"So, the battle is over!"
"Then it's decided."
Li Wenhao made a final decision, and returned to his big tent happily, but Liu Bowen shook his head appreciatively.
It is undeniable that Guo Jia's strategy can indeed win quickly, but it is also accompanied by risks, such as crossing snow mountains and Tianshan Mountains. This is an invisible enemy. In addition, they are not familiar with the terrain of the Great Food Kingdom. What if someone does a mental calculation without thinking?
Taking ten thousand steps back, if those small countries in the south find that the plateau is empty, the Western Regions are empty, and the soldiers are in one place...
Although Liu Bowen's strategy is slow to bear fruit, at least it is stable!
Play steadily and steadily, there are not so many desperate ways to play.
"Your Highness..."
"Look, I said he would come!"
At this time, in Li Wenhao's big tent, Yue Fei, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu were all there.
"His Highness is waiting for me?"
"Nature is waiting for you, I know what you want to say."
Li Wenhao glanced at Liu Bowen, "But let me tell you the truth, I, Datang, can't afford him."
"If we fight quickly, those small countries around us will be afraid of us, afraid of us and dare not send troops, but if we suddenly stretch the front line with the enemy and start a tug-of-war, those countries around us will be ready to move instead."
"Taking a step back, the prairie just now looks good, I don't want to be trampled by this group of people,"
"Although Guo Jia's strategy is risky, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for this time."
"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you should know that the neighbors around us are not good people..."
"Especially my father-in-laws who are still alive, they don't want to tear a piece of flesh off me all the time."
"Understood, Your Highness, I am short-sighted."
Liu Bowen bowed and said.
"It's not that you are short-sighted, it's that you, as the minister of the Ministry of War, naturally have to start from the perspective that is most beneficial to our Tang Dynasty, but we can't just look at the present."
"I can tell you clearly that even if those three countries have hit my doorstep, I will never take revenge right away, because the time is not yet ripe."
"We'll wait until the West Great Wall is repaired!"
This is also the purpose of Li Wenhao's construction of the West Great Wall. He wants to completely put an end to the rise of the grassland peoples, and at the same time, to completely put an end to the era of cold weapons, so that those Westerners can fight over.
Li Wenhao will only attack when he first makes himself invincible, and the most important point is logistical support.
The biggest difference between Li Wenhao and the Western Three Kingdoms is that Li Wenhao knows what is human nature.
If he is now on an expedition, the ones who die the most are not the soldiers, but the civilians who maintain Qiuba's logistics.
Thinking about it in another way, I can be sure that the Three Kingdoms also dropped a lot of corpses on their way to Datang.
Li Wenhao would not do this kind of thing that draws salary from the bottom of his pot.
Now that the steam engine has slowly taken shape, and the train has begun to be developed, all he needs is a little time.
"Your Highness, General Su Lie has come to report that he has set up the artillery positions of the Shenji Battalion, and the address is Benlangyuan!"
