In the drizzle that already showed signs of plum rain, in a forest on the north bank of Suishui River, the battle suddenly started.
To be fair, although Dou Xiaoniang is extremely talented and has rich life experience, her pure military experience is still somewhat lacking, especially her lack of serious battlefield leadership experience. Therefore, when he was suddenly ambushed and saw someone being shot off his horse by a crossbow bolt directly in front of him, the young patrol captain couldn't help but be horrified. He just repeatedly called for dozens of riders in his team to take the wounded and evacuate, but he personally held the long The sword counterattacked forward and cut off the back.
This move had a miraculous effect... The ambushing Imperial Guards thought she was a young girl, and she was in the woods. They seemed to think that she could be captured alive, so they gave up their crossbows for the second round and tried to fight in hand-to-hand combat.
However, these people not only underestimated this young woman's equestrian skills, but also underestimated her opponent's cultivation. Dou Xiaoniang waved her long sword on the horse, and seven or eight feet of Lihuo Zhenqi rose up along the edge of the sword, just like the real thing. The opponent's armored soldiers clashed with each other, and the flames kept escaping and burning the opponent's mouth and nose. Unexpectedly, one against many, they did not lose at all, and these forbidden troops quickly lost their momentum.
Immediately, Dou Xiaoniang just saw a flaw, jumped on her horse, flew over a large tree stump, turned a few turns in the woods, and successfully escaped.
But after he escaped from the woods and met his subordinates waiting for him outside, he couldn't help but ask: "Xun joined the army, did anyone die in the battle? How many were injured? Where are the horses?"
"Reply to the general!" Joining the army, who is equivalent to one of the deputies, reined in his horse and faced each other in the rain, and immediately replied. "Shen Erlang and Brother Li died on the spot, Feng Shiwulang's horse was injured, others lost some supplies and equipment, and Zhao Qilang and several others fell off their horses because of the slippery road, but overall it should be fine... …There’s nothing more.”
"No more?" Dou Xiaoniang, whose hair was soaked by the rain, was obviously stunned.
"There really is no more." Joining the army worked hard to get it right. "Except for the matter between Shen Erlang and Brother Li, the Forbidden Army is not as powerful as the rain in Huaibei!"
Dou Xiaoniang still couldn't understand, if the imperial army was useless, how could they plan such a successful siege and successfully complete the crossbow shooting? If they weren't, why did they cause so many casualties? Moreover, it doesn't matter if two teammates died on the spot. This in itself is not comparable to the fact that there are no other casualties, right?
In fact, if the two people, including Shen Erlang, the preparation general, had not been killed on the spot, Dou Xiaoniang would not have been so panicked.
However, the soldier obviously had some concerns at this time, and immediately made a guess: "Commander, we looked at it together and thought it might be a problem with the crossbow."
"Crossbow?"
"Yes, their crossbow must have been affected by moisture." Joining the army explained. "It's not that everyone missed the crossbow arrows, but according to everyone's opinions, most of them missed the target and then slipped over when they encountered wet armor; there were also a few that were hung on the raincoats. We checked with our own eyes. It seems that It also lacks some strength, and even the raincoat can't be penetrated... But Shen Erlang and Brother Li are just unlucky, and they hit the point... Shen Erlang is the throat, and Brother Li is the armpit."
This explanation seems feasible, but Dou Xiaoniang is still puzzled: "Crossbows can also be affected by moisture?"
"The opportunity for wooden crossbows is booming." Joining the Army further added.
Dou Xiaoniang was stunned in the rain, and she wiped her face for a long time: "The Forbidden Army also uses wooden crossbows?"
"Otherwise, how could it be like this?" This time, joining the army was just a matter of showing off.
The young lady reined in her horse and turned around. Thinking of the new order she had received this time when she went south, she immediately ordered: "Send someone to take this matter back to Shilipu behind you! The king of heaven and Li Longtou are both there! The rest of the people will leave the bodies behind for the time being." Come on, follow me back, and be sure to grab a few crossbows!"
This time it was Jiang Jun's turn and he was a little confused, but he quickly gave the order. About two or three cavalrymen set out one after another to go to Shilipu.
After these messengers left, the rest of the people were re-equipped and organized. Before setting off, Dou Xiaoniang looked at the non-stop rain above her head, but added an order: "Everyone put on raincoats and go in to search."
The patrols naturally followed orders.
Facts have proved that Li Ding, who had just arrived on the north bank of Suishui River, paid more attention to this information than imagined. He set off from Shilipu where he had just settled almost immediately, and only brought a dozen riders with him, leaving Xiong Bonan with only Ride a horse and don’t show off.
Shilipu is not named because it is ten miles away from a certain city, but ten miles away from a shoal in Suishui, so the distance is actually quite close. Regardless of the risk of horsepower and rainy weather, it is only half an hour away from the previous ambush battle. The two most senior people on the front line of the Deposed Dragon Gang rode with their entourage through the rain to the outskirts of this small forest.
Then, Xiong Bonan immediately noticed the movement in the woods and wanted to take action.
"King of Heaven, don't move." Li Ding immediately stopped the other party. "We don't need support from others, we'll just wait here."
Xiong Bonan was puzzled for a moment: "What does Li Longtou mean? Don't you want to see the crossbow machine?"
"The crossbow can't run, people can." Li Ding said expressionlessly. "Since they are here and they haven't run away, why not take a look at the fighting strength of this group of forbidden troops and their morale? Just let them fight with this group of patrols. Life or death is a matter of safety. Let's not interfere and just see the results."
While Xiong Bonan came to his senses, he couldn't help but frown on the spot...Some things are like this. Logically speaking, this is a normal behavior for the military commander to test the combat strength of both sides, find flaws and establish tactics, and it belongs to tactical reconnaissance. Part of it is the so-called compassion that does not control soldiers. But even though he has already come here, he still allows his brothers in the gang to test their lives for nothing, which is not a good thing.
And when King Xiongtian looked at the expressionless Li Longtou anxiously, his heart moved slightly, because he had just thought of Chief Zhang Xingzhang... Li Ding regarded human life as a matter of victory or defeat, and he I think brothers are more important and can't do this kind of thing. What about Chief Zhang?
The answer is very simple. Chief Zhang will definitely never do such a thing unless absolutely necessary. If he has to do it, he must explain it clearly to his superiors and explain the necessity of doing such a thing. However, if Chief Zhang sees Li Ding doing this here, he probably won't stop him. He just wants to explain to Li Ding to appease people like him.
Thinking about it carefully, Chief Zhang ignored the emotions of the brothers below and insisted on placing Li Ding in this position. Many people talked about the previous friendship between Li Longtou and Chief Zhang, but he was afraid that he was inferior... There is friendship, but if we talk about friendship, why is Qin Bao just a helmsman and captain? You know, before Jia Runshi was released, he acted as a leader. At that age, Jia Runshi could be given a leader just because he had to take care of the descendants of Jishui River. Why couldn't Qin Bao?
Therefore, in the characteristic continuous rain in early summer in Huaibei, Xiong Bonan, whose beard was not even touched by water, squinted slightly, and an idea came to his mind - Chief Zhang knew that this was the right thing to do, but the gang members, including his own They were not willing to do this, so they invited this person over and put him in this position.
Just ask this person to do this.
But so what?
Chen Bin and Xie Minghe were like this back then, but why aren't they helping Zhong Qiancheng now? Even my own family, when I joined the gang, didn’t I have a similar statement?
Once you enter the gang, it is like the continuous rain that will eventually merge into the river.
Li Ding didn't know Xiong Bonan's random thoughts, nor did he know that Xiong Bonan could always confidently rely on the strength of the Deposed Dragon Gang. He just reined in his horse and waited outside the woods. In the woods, the fighting was indeed fierce - facts proved , it is true that most of the crossbows of the Forbidden Army are made of wood, and only a few are still the previous fine steel crossbows. This makes their greatest weapon against cavalry in the woods useless, and eventually evolved into hand-to-hand combat.
Once a hand-to-hand combat begins, both sides actually have their own strengths and weaknesses.
The patrol has horses, even if the advantage of maneuvering in the woods and in the rain is greatly weakened, it still has the advantage of height, and Dou Xiaoniang is a strong point; the imperial army is more simple, but there are many people, they have more than a hundred people, this is There is a serious team of people, but the patrol cavalry only has a few dozen people because it is a cavalry establishment.
However, the battle in the woods ended quickly.
The reason is simple, this is north of Suishui.
Suishui is not very wide. Before the summer rainwater accumulates, there are many floating bridges and shoals, making it very easy to travel. However, the frequent small-scale battles that had lasted for three or four days had vaguely created a tacit dividing line between the two sides, which was the Suishui River.
Therefore, those who dare to cross the Suishui River to provoke battle are naturally heroes and heroes. But on the other hand, the other side of the Suishui River is still too dangerous for our side.
As a result, the Forbidden Army, which was unable to ambush and then was counterattacked in the woods, continued to fight fiercely for more than half an hour. After paying the price of about four or five lives and seven or eight wounded... It’s not that they can’t continue the fight. In fact, they also killed two or three of the cavalrymen on the opposite side. If the fight continues, it’s not necessarily who will win. But the problem is that if the fight continues, it will last until dark, or wait until the Dragon Gang comes. Other reinforcements will not be able to return to the other side.
This group of forbidden troops didn't know that there was a mentally ill leader of the Deposed Dragon Gang outside, and reinforcements were not allowed to come.
Li Ding stood on his horse and watched as the Forbidden Army troops withdrew from the woods in an orderly manner and headed towards Suishui. He reined in his horse and followed slowly, without looking back. The effect depends on whether they cross the river quickly, and then intercept them after they reach the other side of the river."
After giving the order, he realized that his tone was wrong, because the order was directed to Xiong Bonan, and according to King Xiong Tian's status and prestige in the Deposed Dragon Gang, he was not under his own leadership.
So, the person wanted to turn around to calm down, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the other party nodding calmly, but he was too lazy to speak, and quickly returned his attention to the battle ahead.
Outside the woods, the entire Forbidden Army escaped. There were about a hundred or so people in the front, but they maintained a rough formation. They used a few donkeys to carry their wounded and placed them in the center. Archers and crossbowmen and short soldiers surrounded them first, and the rear were divided. Two groups of people, each with about twenty people, each holding long soldiers and shields, took turns to respond and break up the rear.
The deposed dragon army cavalry chased out, and because of the fighting, they got mixed up with the opponent's rearguard, and had no intention of bypassing the weak phalanx in front.
With such a huge gap in tactical literacy, not to mention Li Ding, even Xiong Bonan frowned and rarely spoke proactively: "No wonder we have lost more than we have won so far."
"After all, it is Dongdu Xiaorui who gathers the best from all over the world." Li Ding just sighed. "It's to be expected...otherwise, with a small group fighting and that little girl on the patrol, the winner should have been determined long ago."
Xiong Bonan glanced at Dou Xiaoniang, who was wielding her true energy more and more bravely, and immediately nodded... In a battle of this level, as long as this young lady with a high level of cultivation goes out of her way to kill a few people quickly, the opponent will immediately retreat... So far, enough has been said.
but……
"That's... Dou Longtou's daughter?" Xiong Bonan suddenly recognized the girl.
"I don't know." Li Ding frowned in turn. "Is Dou Longtou's daughter so handsome?"
"Indeed." Xiong Bonan sighed. "The identity of the patrol captain matches... I didn't say it before, so I thought it was another patrol team."
"If that's the case, King Xiongtian still needs to take care of him and don't let anything go wrong." Li Ding still frowned.
"I thought Li Longtou was still selfless..." Xiong Bonan couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that I want to be private, but if someone dies for nothing, it will cause instability behind me and ruin the situation." Li Ding also took the initiative to explain.
While the two were talking, the battle situation ahead gradually changed.
You must know that although the tactics are high and low, in the end it is the Forbidden Army that is retreating and the Dragon Army patrols that are pursuing it. The latter relies on the superiority of the cavalry in the plains and never lets go, while the former alternates between the two groups of rearguards two or three times in a row. Finally, the slipperiness of the rainy weather and the heavy armor affected the tactical movements, so that the two guards merged into one, making it difficult to deploy.
I don't know if she was soaked by the rain, but Dou Xiaoniang forgot to think when she started fighting today, and it's the same now. However, the elements on the battlefield are not only the commander's timely thinking, she can still maintain a certain subtle battlefield feeling - soon after the opponent's two rearguards merged into one, the young patrol captain noticed the opponent's formation. The disarray, as well as the heaviness and hesitation of the opponent's defender's movements.
Relatively speaking, with the consumption of horsepower and the raincoats on their bodies, the patrolman actually maintained some physical strength.
A moment later, after hearing the opponent's obviously heavy breathing, Dou Xiaoniang, who had just completed the handover, suddenly turned around and accelerated, charging again towards the only officer on horseback in the enemy's front.
The latter was not a general of the Forbidden Army, but an experienced Qijing master in the team. At this time, when he saw Dou Xiaoniang's constant pressure, he was frightened for a moment, but he still relied on his fighting instinct to raise his spear. , prepare to meet again. However, just by raising the spear, he noticed the soreness in his shoulders, so that he was so frightened that his mind went blank.
After all, with so much experience, how could he not know what it means to lose strength at this time?
As a result, without any hesitation, the man actually dragged his spear on the spot, passed the rear guard, and rode his horse to hide in the phalanx further forward...or rather flee.
When Dou Xiaoniang saw this, she knew it was an opportunity, but she didn't give in at all and just rode her horse to catch up.
The two sides moved in tandem. I don't know whether Dou Xiaoniang was lighter or had better equestrian skills, or whether the man turned around in the rain and accelerated a little slower. Xiaoniang actually caught up with him before he entered the square formation, and then waved his sword directly. Release your true energy and hit the opponent's back.
However, before her zhenqi hit the opponent, Dou Xiaoniang felt a huge force coming from in front of her. She quickly moved her legs to lock the saddle with her zhenqi, and managed to stay still without falling off the horse. However, the person in front did not have this level of cultivation. With luck, he just swayed on the horse and fell off the horse.
It turned out that the pursuit was too tight and the mud was slippery, so the two horses collided first.
No matter what, Dou Xiaoniang knew that there was an opportunity to beat up the fallen man, so she immediately reined in the horse, and then brandished her long sword to kill him here.
However, the long sword wrapped in Li Huo's true energy was swung again. Before it fell, the fallen man below hurriedly raised his empty hands and shouted: "Don't kill me! I am willing to surrender!"
Dou Xiaoniang also felt that her head was empty and she was stunned on the spot. Is this the end? !
After being stunned for a moment, she reacted and knocked away the opponent's spear with her sword, then shouted: "Go to the side, or I will kill you immediately!"
The man turned over and actually walked towards a tree on one side with his head in his arms.
The Imperial Guards who witnessed this scene were shaken on the spot, and their formation became more and more scattered. However, the patrol knights couldn't help but get excited, and followed suit one after another, reining in their horses and rushing into the lone people outside.
For a while, even though the army generals and the following officers kept shouting orders, they still couldn't stop the situation on both sides from reversing.
In just a moment, seven or eight of the forty-man rear guard had been forced to surrender. Fortunately, the front phalanx had arrived at the Suishui River, and they all jumped into the water without hesitation, preparing to escape from a shoal.
At this time, another accident occurred. It was nothing more than the Imperial Guards soldiers in front. Several donkeys connected by ropes entered the water. Suddenly one of them staggered, and directly carried the wounded on its back, slipping down the river, causing the other donkeys to The donkey was also dragged down. Not to mention the people carried by the donkey, the Forbidden Army sergeants in front and behind were all wrapped up, and the sergeants in the rear who had not entered the water were even more blocked.
At this point, the imperial guards in the rear couldn't stand it anymore and abandoned their formations and fled towards the river.
As a result, the patrols of the Deposed Dragon Army followed the trend and caught up on the river bank, forcing the imperial army to be completely at a loss... Some surrendered, some fled up and down the river, and some simply entered the water, but fell into the water due to lack of preparation. deepwater zone.
What was originally an evenly matched battle suddenly turned into a complete victory for one side and a collapse for the other.
Li Ding watched this scene without saying a word. It wasn't until the forbidden troops successfully arrived on the other side that he turned back and glanced at Xiong Bonan.
Xiong Bonan, who had been excited for a long time, understood. He left his horse and jumped up. A purple curtain suddenly appeared in the sky and rolled towards the other side of the river... Seeing this, the patrols of the deposed dragon army kept cheering, but the imperial guards were completely discouraged. , simply surrender.
The entire battle was only a small-scale battle of a hundred people. Even if Xiong Bonan's appearance caused the opponent's organizational surrender, it had little impact on the overall situation. However, at this time, Li Longtou, who had been frowning while watching the battle, But he actually became very interested.
He got on his horse and first checked the crossbows. Sure enough, he found that only two of the crossbows of the Forbidden Army were made entirely of fine steel, and the rest mostly had wooden accessories. Then he went to look at the rain gear, and almost only a few officers had rain gear. Then he went to He looked at the opponent's only war horse and checked the horse's teeth and shoes. As for the other armor and ordnance, he also went through them carefully.
Not only that, he even went into the water himself and walked back and forth into the shallows of Suishui River. He also asked Xiong Bonan to fish out two drowned donkeys, and checked the donkeys' physiques and the wounds on the wounded on the donkeys' backs. The specific composition of the cargo.
In the end, of course, interrogation of the prisoners was inevitable, but it did not take too long.
Even so, after all the hard work, it was almost dark. Li Longtou didn't say a word, got on his horse and left. Dou Xiaoniang and others also quickly stopped their previous excitement, and only urged the prisoners to follow and escort them to Shilipu. And go.
"How is it?" As the dusk quickly turned due to the rain, Xiong Bonan took the initiative to follow, with a hopeful look on his face.
Li Ding also gave his judgment: "The conditions are better than expected. This battle can be fought freely. As long as the opponent's main force can be cut effectively, there is a chance of winning!"
Xiong Bonan was refreshed and alert again: "Whether to take the initiative to start a war still depends on the chief's decision. Otherwise, we still have to look at the previously formulated case strategy to deal with it."
"This is natural." Li Dingben glanced at the other party, but frowned again.
When they arrived at Shilipu, everyone was busy and resting. Li Ding went straight to his residence, and then he didn't eat. Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter... It was originally written to Zhang Xing, but for some reason, he wrote it twice. He only stopped half a piece of paper and burned it on the fire. The third time he wrote it, it was simply an ordinary greeting letter to his wife Zhang Shiniang.
Just when he was about to finish writing, someone suddenly came out asking to see him, but it was his student Su Jingfang.
"Master." Su Jingfang was obviously relaxed. After entering, he just raised his head with clear eyes.
"How can you come here if you don't camp at Mangdang Mountain to reorganize the army?" Li Ding put down his pen and still frowned... He had only frowned all afternoon and evening today.
"Replying to my teacher, my wife didn't see you when she arrived at Mangdang Mountain, so she wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it personally. Mangdang Mountain also explained to Manager Xu that my father is in charge of the camp for the time being." Su Jingfang answered calmly and handed over the letter. Hand it over.
"I thought she was here to see Dou Longtou's daughter." Li Ding sneered, took the letter, and then read it carefully, while Xiao Su turned a deaf ear the whole time and ignored it.
After leaning for a while, Li Ding read it, put down the letter, and said quietly for a moment: "It's all just gossip... You came from the north, did you meet your Uncle Zhang?"
"Master is joking." Su Jingfang couldn't help laughing. "Our five battalions came from Liaocheng to Jibei in order to cover up others' eyes. When Uncle Zhang returns to Hebei to show up, he must go from the west to be effective. How can we meet him?"
Li Ding was silent for a moment and then said seriously: "I saw that you took it easy after joining the Deposed Dragon Gang. I just have something that I want to hear from you."
"Master, please speak." Su Jingfang said respectfully.
"On the first day I came to Suishui, I saw a battle. Although it was an isolated case, there are some explanations... For example, the Forbidden Army still has the spirit and strength, but the ordnance has been neglected for four years, which is actually perfunctory; for Meiyu There was also insufficient preparation; there was a shortage of war horses... All kinds of incidents, although they had been expected, were more violent than previously expected... The stacking of these things together made their military morale even worse than I expected. , thinking that if we want to fight, the odds are obvious, so I have the intention to take the initiative to fight." Li Ding explained briefly. "However, when I am here, I don't know whether I should write to your Uncle Zhang and ask to take the initiative to fight."
Su Jingfang thought for a while and wondered: "If you want to fight, can you bypass Master Zhang? Or does Master still have considerations about this battle?"
"There must be considerations, but we will take another look next." Li Ding said calmly. "What I mean by proactively seeking war is that with this possibility, we need to add a plan to proactively seek war... How to decide is still his business."
Su Jingfang thought about it again and became even more confused: "Then just write to Master Zhang directly. Why should you have doubts?"
"I won't hide it from you either." Li Ding was silent for a moment and confessed to his students. "Firstly, from a military perspective, I actually feel that I am a bit inferior to others and cannot do military affairs on my own; secondly, from a political perspective, I am a little worried that I am too dependent on your uncle and antagonize other people, so that I can’t gain a foothold in the Deposed Dragon Gang.”
Su Jingfang thought about it three times, and finally realized that Daqing was the opposite of being a fish in water when he joined the Deposed Dragon Gang. His mentor still couldn't adapt... He couldn't help but want to lead an army to fight a big battle, but he also clearly realized that he couldn't convince the crowd. Worry about not being able to gain a foothold.
After thinking about this, Xiao Su simply said: "Master, from the first point of view, even if you want to go your own way, you have to wait until you are well established. Otherwise, the capital accumulated by the deposed dragon gang for four years will be lost with the help of others." What do you want to throw? Now, you can only find Uncle Zhang, Chief Zhang, and let him guarantee it for you."
Li Ding thought for a moment, and although he was unwilling to do so, he still nodded.
"As for the second one, I feel that my mentor is overthinking it. Now that he has just arrived, it is normal for people to be dissatisfied. It will definitely be fine in the future." Su Jingfang was still relieved.
"Are you trying to say that your uncle's position is stable and no one can shake it, and that I can do it safely under his wings?"
"That's one of them." Su Jingfang smiled. "No matter what, we can't say that we don't have Uncle Master's protection."
"What about the second one?"
"Secondly, being opposed to other people does not prevent my mentor from gaining a foothold." Su Jingfang calmed down slightly. "Otherwise, who can shake the master? It should be noted that the master is not the master alone, but the regulations of the three counties and seven camps, which are self-contained."
"How about Xiong Bonan?" Li Ding blurted out.
"Although King Xiongtian only has the title of deputy signature of Daxingtai, everyone knows that he is the only master in the gang and the chief military officer. He has always been in charge of rewards and punishments in the army. His prestige is almost second to Master Zhang. If it is true, There is someone who can hinder Master from establishing himself, I'm afraid it's him." Su Jingfang blurted out. "But the reason why King Xiongtian is so prestigious is that he has a clear sense of rewards and punishments and is extremely loyal. If such a person comes specifically to seek trouble against the master, but will lose his own foundation in the gang, how can this happen?"
"What about Chen Bin?" Li Ding nodded and continued to ask.
"General Manager Chen's name is General Manager, but he actually works as a general official in the Nanya Government. He is regarded as the civilian prime minister of the gang. He is indeed a high-ranking official." Su Jingfang said with a smile. "But it's a pity that my mentor's way of gaining a foothold is in the military, which is divergent from the general affairs he is in charge of. Moreover, it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the gang. How can he have the intention to boycott you, the master who has gone against him?"
Li Ding continued to nod expressionlessly: "Where are the leaders? Wei Xuanding?"
"Wei Gong is older. After Li Shu left, he has the most seniority and his territory is close to ours. However, he does not have his own team and is top-heavy. He is no match for the teacher."
"Wei Gong can't do it, and naturally Chai Xiaohe can't do it; King Xiongtian can't do it, and naturally Shan Dalang can't do it... But what about Dou Lide?" Li Ding squinted his eyes to look at his student. "Isn't Dou Lide becoming more and more popular and surpassing Hebei?"
"Dou Lide has always won people, and the heroes of Hebei all obey him. He is the biggest mountain in Hebei. And based on his past behavior, he will definitely try to recruit all the heroes of Hebei in the gang. However, the big way out for the gang is to first We are determined to be in Hebei, and there will definitely be more and more heroes from Hebei in the future. In addition, our platform also belongs to Hebei, so he is really a threat." Su Jingfang couldn't help laughing anymore. "But it's good that he has great momentum, but he also has many troubles and weaknesses... Chen Bin and General Manager Chen are his opponents; Wei Xuanding and Wei Gong actually divided his power; Shan Dalang is said to have gone with him, but in fact Shan Dalang just has no conflict with him. When it comes to the critical point, he may not be on the same road with him, because there are still some differences between Henan and Hebei... However, these don't matter, because he has a huge flaw in front of the master, which makes him naturally We can only win over Master, not fight against him."
"How?" Li Ding was really curious.
"He doesn't know how to fight." Su Jingfang spread his hands in response. "Cut off the violent Wei and stabilize the world. This is very clear. That is, it is still the time to establish a career. Most things still have to be done with weapons, but he doesn't know how to fight! He doesn't know how to fight. To put it bluntly, help There are so many warrior leaders who look down on him! Let alone obedience? And the master is best at fighting! I want to ask, who in the gang can replace the master and do his own thing?"
Li Ding's heart moved slightly and he blurted out: "Xu Dalang."
"It's Xu Dalang." Su Jingfang also nodded repeatedly. "If there is really someone who can make my mentor unable to stand, it is Xu Dalang who accounts for 70%, because this person is the main force in the war and has sufficient qualifications. After Li Shu left, more Henan heroes in the gang obeyed him more... But still It depends on his ability on the battlefield and whether he can replace the master and lead the military strategy. But I think he is not as good as his mentor."
Li Ding was silent, and the fishy smell brought by the rain outside was still clear.
After a while, the man came back to his senses and asked: "Then do you think it is possible for us to fight this battle even if we have a slight chance of winning?"
"I'm sorry to tell you this bluntly." Su Jingfang responded sincerely. "Uncle Zhang will probably agree to formulate a corresponding new plan, but still stick to the original strategy... If the enemy's main force does not violate the boundary, we will not fight back... Therefore, whether this battle can be fought depends on what the Imperial Army thinks."
Two days later, on the first day of May, after several days of hard marching in the rain, the main force of the Forbidden Army arrived at Huankou Town, which was familiar but unfamiliar to Zhang Xing and others.
Sima Huada could finally have a drink with peace of mind.
PS: Thank you to the old senior for your Silver Alliance... I am really ashamed. I will definitely finish writing this book seriously.
