"Brother Dali, why are you still eating?" The medicine servant squatted down next to Hu Dali, who was guarding the prisoner.
Hu Dali wiped his mouth and drank more water before swallowing the dried meat in his mouth. When they first entered the outside of the Great Wall, they could still have meat soup to eat, but now they only have dry biscuits and dried meat. To be honest, although these foods are easy to It was preserved, but it was dry and hard, and my cheeks were sore from chewing it for a long time, but it was good to have something to eat. Hu Dali patted his belly with satisfaction, and his cold armor made a banging sound when he patted it.
"You have food in your belly, so don't worry." Hu Dali showed a simple and honest smile to the little medicine servant, completely lacking the ferocity and cruelty he showed when facing his captives.
Although he was talking to the little medicine servant, his eyes were always patrolling the imprisoned prisoners. Maybe they would attack the city at some time. These prisoners were all going to die. People often face life and death crises. Will do irrational things, such as fighting back before death.
Hu Dali held the Youzhou long gun in his hand. This long gun was specially made because of his strength. The long gun, which weighed dozens of kilograms, was as flexible as a finger in his hand. There was still blood on the head, which shocked the prisoners who were beginning to be dishonest.
The little medicine servant muttered: "Be careful if you eat too much and accumulate food."
Hu Dali laughed twice and didn't know how to answer the little medicine servant who cared about him. He had been afraid of hunger since he was a child, and he could eat and drink anything.
The little medicine servant had said this to him a few days ago, and later gave him a decoction to treat constipation. He drank three bowls of it and drank the soup completely as water. At that time, he looked at the little medicine servant. I was stunned for a while, but then I never gave it away again.
The medicine servant continued to walk forward. He followed his master to the military camp and only treated Cui Langjun. His master was a famous sage. He had been in Youzhou for several years because of Cui Langjun's condition, so he also lived in Langjun. Song.
Maybe after staying in one place for a long time, the little medicine servant gradually fell in love with Youzhou.
While he was thinking aimlessly, the medicine servant suddenly saw an evil ghost mask, which startled him.
The old doctor had already seen his silly medicine servant. When Guitu approached, the medicine servant was still standing there stupidly. The old doctor hurriedly pulled the man over and patted his head again.
The medicine servant turned to watch the man wearing the evil ghost mask walk away.
"Master, who is he?"
"Ghost Tu, if you have nothing to do, stay away from him." The old doctor said angrily.
The old doctor had seen the true face of the Ghost Tu several times in Cui Langjun's place, and he always felt that the Ghost Tu who could slaughter his own people was not an ordinary ruthless person.
Jin Ben, Yi Fan and several captains of the Ghost Tuqi rushed to the Xuanjia Camp.
When Cui Shizi saw Jin Ben and the others, he stood up and said, "Everyone, please come in. My lord has been waiting for a long time."
Yi Fan saw Commander Cui lifting the curtain in person and quickly stepped forward to take over the work from his hands.
Jin Ben nodded slightly to Cui Langjun as a greeting.
Several people entered the tent.
Zhou Xu looked at the military map above the tent. It was the battle formation map that was simulated and drawn by Youzhou scouts every hour in the afternoon.
Li Xun, Tuoba Agu and Tuoba Amu in the army, members of the Zhou clan and the old leader of the Tiele clan, Chachawu, have already seen it.
"The last general, Jin Ben, paid homage to Lord Jiedushi. Fortunately, he lived up to his command and beheaded more than 2,000 pagoda riders behind the Turks. He also slaughtered more than a thousand people from other tribes and freed several others." Jin Ben was the first to kneel down and lowered his fists heavily. Said the first.
Zhou Xu helped the man up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you completed this mission very well."
Jin Ben's face under the mask turned red with excitement. He stood up and clasped his fists again and said, "Everything is thanks to your cultivation, Master Cui's planning, and the joint efforts of all my colleagues. I dare not take credit."
"The Gulunwu ancient tribesmen who were let go by us must have arrived at Huiyi City in the morning. I also slaughtered a small tribe in Sijie. I personally observed during the process that the seven alliances were more or less deployed behind Huiyi City. Due to the lack of military strength, some people speculate that the seven major alliances may not be united."
Li Xun looked at the younger generation and the familiar faces behind Jin Ben. They all showed excitement and gratitude. He touched his beard. This Jin Ben was a little scheming.
When Zhou Xuan learned that the Turkic rear cavalry had been eliminated, he showed a look of relief on his face.
Tuoba Agu had been listening to the conversation in the tent attentively and solemnly, while Tuoba Amu glanced at General Ghost Slaughter wearing an evil ghost mask. He had heard about this general, and this was the first time he had met him.
Zhou Xu asked them to sit down and said: "I have kept your merits in mind. After the war, I will reward you based on your merits. However, the Huiyi rebels have not been eliminated now. Even if we have a small victory, we cannot take it lightly."
"Wei!" everyone said.
Cui Shizi coughed, stood in front of the military map, and said: "General Jin, General Yi, and all of Gui Tuqi's comrades may not know that this afternoon, the rebels set up a Ruibao formation a thousand meters away from Huiyi City. .”
"Huiyi City is built on the mountains. The surrounding terrain is flat, and it cannot rely on the dangers of hills and trees."
"The Ruibao Formation is their most effective defensive formation and requires infantry. The cavalry and infantry are divided into garrison and war teams. When the garrison defends the formation, the war team goes out to fight; when the war team defends the formation, the garrison goes out to fight, and they can take turns to fight. It constitutes a perfect defense."
"The enemy's goals are very clear, and they still focus on defense and delay."
Jin Ben nodded and quickly thought of the Turks' thoughts: "The Huiyi rebels want to delay the arrival of winter."
"Yes." Cui Shizi smiled: "This Ruibao formation is a military formation we used to deal with the Turks before. It is indeed a formation to restrain the cavalry."
Li Xun sarcastically said: "Those Turks took away a lot of books in the early years and took them back, but now they are wearing a layer of human skin and know how to study."
"There are two ways to crack the Ruibao Formation."
"The first one is along the trench. The remaining soldiers abandon their horses and fight on foot. They attack the infantry in front of them and then shoot with powerful bows. However, this method is quite time-consuming."
"The two are good riders and use flying claws to hook them."
Cui Shizi said this and took a sip of tea.
Zhou Xu continued: "Both cracking methods seem to be effective, but I think the Ruibao Formation is just a blinding method."
Jin Ben looked at Lord Jiedushi.
Li Xun stroked his beard and said: "Master Jieduzhi is right, I also have the same idea in my heart."
"The Ruibao Formation is originally a defensive formation. The infantry and cavalry take turns to replace each other. The number of horses in the two teams will not be small. After all, horses are fatal on the battlefield if they cannot move." Zhou Xu measured it with his hands. Return to the distance between Yicheng and Ruibao Formation.
"But now, the distance to Ruibao Formation back to Yicheng is only more than a thousand meters."
"Too close." Zhou Xu said, looking at the distance.
"If the opponent has a large bed/crossbow, this distance is a sure way to death."
Zhou Xu always thought the worst about the Wang family's provision of bows/crossbows to Hui Yi.
Jin Ben thought for a moment after hearing this. This was a conspiracy. The other party was obviously trying to delay. They only had to wait until winter came. And if they wanted to attack the city, they would have to pass through the Ruibao Formation. What Lord Du Shi said is true, then the charging Xuanjia Battalion will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Once more people die, the opponent's strength will be several times greater than theirs, and they may even attack in the opposite direction.
However, they are not completely without advantages.
Jin Ben looked at Lord Jiedushi and found that he had always been calm and composed.
Cui Shizi coughed and was about to speak when the sergeant with the army outside the tent reported.
"Reporting to Lord Jiedushi, we have captured a spy."
Zhou Xu asked people to come in.
"Which tribe is it from?" Zhou Xuan asked.
The sergeant's face looked a little strange: "He claimed to be the third prince of Huiyi, and said he wanted to see Lord Jiedushi."
Zhou Xu asked: "Is he the only one?"
"A person." The sergeant replied.
Zhou Xu smiled: "You have good courage."
I am not afraid of being sacrificed to the military flag by him.

Chapter 87 War
When Arilang walked to the military tent, his legs were still weak. He had secretly left back to Yicheng in the white fog in the morning, no, early in the morning. He was riding a good BMW. It was already late at night. , he rode for almost a whole day and half of the night, and the inner thighs were already bloody. He was not a warrior who was good at riding and shooting. Most of the time, he was a foreigner studying abroad.
Last month, he let his wife and children return to her tribe. His wife was the youngest daughter of the Khan of the Qimi tribe. She was the Qimi tribe who came and regretted this alliance.
He and his wife had always been ignored in Huiyi City. After this incident, his wife was even more depressed, because in this alliance, his father was clearly here, but he was still afraid of Master Youzhou Jiedu, and Fleeed in despair.
As a result, his wife suffered a lot of grievances when she returned to Yicheng. When she returned to Qimi, she responded very simply, without needing him to say anything more, and even took the child away.
Arilang glanced at the dark night and wondered if tonight would be his last night.
I came to the enemy's base camp alone and became a traitor. Why would people believe a traitor's words?
Arilang laughed to himself.
Inside the military tent.
Arilang saw General Li Xun, who was much older than before, General Guitu, who had become very popular in recent years, and the counselors around Lord Jiedushi, Cui Langjun, and Lord Jiedushi.
Memories of childhood suddenly came to mind. Compared with more than 20 years ago, Jiedushi's face had more traces of time, and even his temples were frosty, but his eyes were still sharp, and his body shape looked like Not much has changed, he is still tall and burly. He sits at the top of the center of the military tent, and his power is so powerful that people dare not look directly at him.
Arilang lowered his head, bowed his head and said, "Arilang has met Lord Jiedushi."
Zhou Xu glanced at the face of the third prince who claimed to be Huiyi City, and then looked at the right-fold crown that was the same as the people in the Central Plains, as well as the common ritual ceremony commonly used by scholars.
"Do you know Li Xun and I?" Zhou Xu turned the tea cup in his hand: "When you enter the door, among the people in the room, the first thing you look at is Li Xun."
Li Xun frowned and looked at Arilang, looking at his face carefully, but unfortunately he couldn't remember such a person.
Arilang straightened his scholar's blue shirt and robe. He also looked at General Li Xun and said softly: "I recognize him. Twenty-three years ago, General Li led his army to resist the banner and entered Huiyi City. I was I was watching from the side, there were so many people, so it’s normal for General Li not to remember.”
Arilang paused, then looked directly at Lord Jiedushi: "Master Jiedushi arrived at Huiyi seven days later. My father went out of the city gate to greet him. In the palace, you and your father also drank fine wine. , My father once said that Youzhou and Huiyi would help each other and never give up, and they would be friends from generation to generation."
Zhou Xu laughed when he heard this.
He took a sip of tea. The old king of Huiyi did say that to him, but no one took it seriously. The old king of Huiyi did, and so did he. The friendship between generations was just a show of words. He didn't expect that back then A little baby actually still remembers it in my heart.
Zhou Xu squinted at Arilang's scholar's robe and asked an irrelevant question: "Who is your teacher?"
"Students learn from Master Mingxin." Arilang actually laughed at this moment. When he mentioned the master who taught him, he was full of admiration and respect.
Cui Shizi said: "But it is written that a strange horse rides through the mountains and rivers in the spring, he is drunk and floats, and he wakes up from a dream and sheds a thousand tears. Di meets Master Di deeply."
"It's the master." Ahrilang said.
The people present were all rough guys, and most people didn't know who Master Mingxin was. After all, he was not a world-famous scholar.
Zhou Lingzhi, who had attended cultural classes for several years and was familiar with Jiangnan literary circles, knew who Master Mingxin was after hearing two lines of poetry read by Military Master Cui.
He was a poet and a disgraced minor official, but he lived a very long life. His other nickname was the longevity layman who was more famous. Unexpectedly, one of his students turned out to be the third prince who returned to Yicheng.
"Master only thinks that I am a foreigner studying abroad and does not know my true identity." Arilang said.
"Then what are you doing here today?" Cui Shizi asked with a warm smile, as if he was a little closer to the layman Mingxin or the third prince Huiyi who was also a scholar.
Arilang looked at Master Jiedushi and said what he had been thinking in his heart: "Master Jiedushi, please be more careful in this battle. There are three large three-bow beds/crossbows mounted on the wall of Huiyi City, each with a bed/crossbowman." Twenty of them are all brave men with black cloth covering their faces. They never show their true masks to others, and they do not obey the orders of their father. There must be someone behind them."
After saying that, he bowed his head again and said, "That's it for Arilang. Sir, I'm taking my leave."
Zhou Xu glanced at Cui Shizi.
Cui Shizi coughed and walked forward: "Third Prince, wait a minute."
Arilang turned around and looked at them, but he was actually sweating behind his back. Was he going to kill him? After all, he is a Huiyi person and his father's son.
