Lin Qin was furious and pointed at Lu Yan and asked loudly.
Lu Yan looked upright and refuted: "General Lin, although Sima Yue is your relative, don't forget that she is even willing to kill her own sworn brother. Who can guarantee that Sima Yue is not a master of old tricks? Shi, let Yu Dahai kill our prince first, and then take the opportunity to seize our military power. Furthermore, now that the prince is gone, if the four major families really intervene, they will definitely assign a new commander to us. When the time comes, one As emperor and courtier, can we old generals still have the good old days? So I suggest that we kill Yu Dahai first, seize his territory, and then elect General Xiao as our new commander. In this way, the four major families know There is nothing to say. And we can all be prosperous and wealthy in the future, and we don’t have to succumb to outsiders!"
After Lu Yan's instigation, all the generals were convinced. They all became excited and raised their hands and shouted: "Yes, that's right. We must never let outsiders become our commander-in-chief. We recommend General Xiao to inherit the throne of king! General Xiao will be our commander-in-chief from now on! Let's work together Kill with revenge on the big poster!..."
Everyone shared the same hatred, and Lin Qin was so angry that his face turned purple. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan, who usually looked like an honest person, suddenly changed his mind today. He actually wants to push the most incompetent and narrow-minded Xiao Yuhe to be the commander-in-chief? This is completely inconsistent with his past behavior.
Xiao Yuhe saw the generals unanimously supporting him, and his face showed unexpected surprise. He jumped directly onto the table and shouted: "Generals, since you think highly of me, then I will lead you to kill Yu Dahai, seize his territory, and avenge King Cheng! After that, I will serve as your new Commander, I will distribute all the wealth of Prince Feng’s Mansion to you soldiers! From now on, if you follow me, I guarantee that you will be a hundred times more prosperous and wealthy than before!"
Hearing Xiao Yuhe's promise of such benefits, everyone shouted excitedly: "Follow Marshal Xiao and kill Yu Dahai! Kill Yu Dahai!..."
All the soldiers in the big tent obeyed loudly, except Lin Qindong whose face was full of anger and opposition. He thought it was extremely stupid to lead an army to fight Yu Dahai at this point. But it is too difficult to explain the truth to these profit-minded warriors.
Seeing Lin Qindong's gloomy face, Xiao Yuhe pointed his gun at him, his eyes forced, and shouted: "Lin Qindong, although you are from Sima Yue, don't forget that the commander is also your father-in-law! What the hell are you doing? Do you want to take revenge with us?"
Faced with Xiao Yuhe's coercion, Lin Qindong was naturally unwilling. But now that the opponent is gaining momentum, if he doesn't fear that he will directly take away his military power. He could only say with a dark face: "Okay! Since everyone has the same idea, I have no objection. To avenge the commander-in-chief, of course I cannot be left out. Then let's kill Yungou together!"
So all the generals returned to their camps, gathered all their troops, and then went to kill Yungou thirty miles away.
Xiao Yuhe is also a veteran, he has his own way of leading troops, and he is also a little clever. He ordered Lin Qindong's Iron Armored Shield Battalion to go at the front, Lu Yan's Iron Cavalry Battalion to go in the middle, and his Iron Spear Battalion to go at the end. In such a real fight, his troops would suffer minimal losses.
On the other hand, Yungou Village suddenly received news. It is said that Yu Dahai killed five members of Prince Cheng and his son in Fucheng, and then he himself was killed by an unknown master. But now, Xiao He's 100,000 troops are rushing towards them to take revenge.
Dozens of leaders in the village hurriedly gathered to discuss. Yu Dahai's troops also numbered 100,000, divided into five divisions: iron cavalry, broadswords, organs, flying flags, and silver armor. The generals in charge of the five divisions are Yu Dahai's son Yu Longqiang, son-in-law Song Potian, sworn brothers Bao Shuo and Guo Wang, and Yu Dahai's second brother Yu Ruoguo.
When the five people heard that Yu Dahai was dead, they made a huge noise in the meeting hall, and they all clamored for revenge. However, the five of them were of the same mind, and they all elected Yu Long Qiang as the new commander-in-chief, and mobilized a hundred thousand troops to prepare for the coming enemy.
Yungou Village is surrounded by tall forests and the terrain is flat, making it unsuitable for defense. If they stick to the stronghold, once it is breached, they will have no way out. Yu Longqiang gave decisive orders, and the army marched quickly to "Tianping Village" five miles away. There is a wilderness, a north-south road, and dense forests on the left and right, which is the most suitable for arranging troops.
Although Yu Dahai has five troops, only the 60,000 men in the cavalry, broadsword, and silver armor divisions have the combat power to fight head-on. As for the mechanisms and flying flags, the most important functions on weekdays are setting traps and using hidden weapons. Xiao He's three battalions were well-trained and wore iron armor and iron shoes. These formations often had little effect on them.
If in the past, Yu Dahai was no match for Xiao He, who was an expert in the art of war. But now the two sides are Xiao Yuhe and Yu Longqiang, and they are equally matched in strength.
Outside Tianping Village, Yu Longqiang led four generals to quickly survey the terrain.
Although Yu Longqiang is only twenty-seven years old, he can skillfully guide the army's formation movements while riding a horse, and he seems to be experienced and capable. And compared to his father's bald-faced savage appearance, he was handsome, with white teeth and red lips, and an air of nobility. But there was unconcealable ferocity and arrogance in his eyes.
After surveying the terrain, he said to the four generals beside him: "The current commander-in-chief of the opponent is Xiao Yuhe. This person is strong but moderate and has average strength. It doesn't take much effort to deal with him. I plan to set up a pocket array in a while. , bring them in first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. After Xiao Yuhe is eliminated, we will then kill Haishan to completely clean up King Cheng’s forces from Fucheng."
The four generals each nodded. His second uncle, Yu Ruoguo, had a solemn look on his face and stroked his beard and said, "Well, tell me, Commander. You are a recognized expert in our army when it comes to leading troops in battles and arranging troops. We believe in your abilities. .”
Although Yu Ruoguo is Yu Longqiang's older brother, he looks completely different from his younger brother, the bald-faced barbarian. The sixty-year-old man has arched eyebrows, a goatee, small eyes, and a small nose. He always looks upright, but in fact he is also a sanctimonious fake good guy. In his heart, he is as poisonous as his brother.
The reason why he obeyed Dahai and Yu Longqiang was because he was weak and did not dare to fight. But as long as there is a chance, he will immediately bring down his eldest nephew. After all, there are many people who don't like the position of prince.
And Yu Longqiang is not stupid, he knows the temperament of this family best. However, he knew that his second uncle would not stumble on him at this critical moment. After this battle was over, he would naturally take action first, kill all the generals who could threaten his throne, and then replace them all with his own henchmen.
In this way, goodness does not grow in a wolf's den. This group of good brothers, good uncles and nephews are secretly fighting with swords and swords. They want him to die and hope for his death. They are all vicious and cruel.
Seeing that several people trusted him, Yu Longqiang nodded and said: "Well, the war is urgent, so I will make arrangements directly. When the spies came to report just now, Xiao Yuhe placed the Iron Armored Shield Battalion with the strongest defense at the front. Two Bo I hope to use your silver-armored shield soldiers to fight them in the first battle. You don't need to win this battle, as long as you lose cleanly. After the defeat, you lead the army to retreat in three groups. Although Xiao Yuhe is doubtful, He is also eager to gain credit, and will definitely send troops and horses to pursue them. At this time, we have set up layers of traps by the army on the back road and the woods on both sides. As soon as they step in, we will use crossbows, fire attacks, and poison attacks from three sides. The method caught them off guard. In this way, there must be a large-scale retreat, and the formation will naturally be chaotic once the army withdraws. At this time, our cavalry army, silver armor army, and broadsword army led people to intercept and pursue them from three sides of the rear flank. First use the spear formation and The thunder and fire bombs broke up their formation and destroyed their combat effectiveness, and then they finished in close combat."
Everyone understood clearly and agreed with this strategy. Then they each led their troops to set up traps everywhere and hide the ambush army. Yu Longqiang stood watching from a high place, and the Flying Flag Army ordered the flags to be mobilized in all directions. The five groups worked closely together and quickly spread the battlefield.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yuhe's army of 100,000 people was seen from a distance, approaching like a long black dragon with great momentum.
Seeing that there were only five miles away from Yungou Village, Lin Qindong turned back to look at Xiao Yuhe, frowning and said: "General Xiao, although you are temporarily acting as marshal, I still want to remind you. Yu Dahai's son Yu Longqiang, he He is not a fool. Yu Longqiang has led troops in battles in recent years and is also known as a good fighter. If we go to kill them with such a big fanfare, they must be well prepared. If they are ambushed by then, that will be bad. "
Xiao Yuhe also looked cold and arrogant, and said: "We, the one hundred thousand army of the Prince's Palace, are not those trash from Yu Dahai. It's not the first day I led the troops to fight, so I know what I know. In a moment, you will lead the ten thousand Iron Shield Battalion to charge and kill Go over and disrupt the opponent's formation. We will hold the formation for you from behind. Once we see through the opponent's path, I will assign the army to pursue them in different directions, ensuring that no trace of the opponent is left behind."
