In the chilling battlefield, two armies faced each other.
"General Wang and General He have integrated the defense of Jingting Road. Now the combined forces are rushing to Xingming Road. They are expected to arrive in ten days." The general read out the information.
Li Rusi stood high, looking at the provocation below, unmoved. Indifference was her best response.
They are all souls killed by the sword. Consider what they feel. The reinforcements waiting to occupy the fortified Jingting Road will arrive and they will give these people some color.
These words made her want to fight, fearing that there might be some misunderstanding about Li Rusi. Ever since she killed the tiger with three punches, the rumors had not stopped.
There is no shortage of soldiers, food, and a fortified city. She is strong in force, but it does not mean that she likes to show off. She can obviously defend the city and win, so why take risks, and this way the casualties will be minimal. She treats people as human beings.
"It's a pity, Cang Lindao." After sighing, Li Rusi shook her head. Logically speaking, these three lands should be their banker's land. Now they are occupied by these thieves. Who knows how much they will lose?
The land is okay, population, population, if people die and then want to grow the same population, it can't be done in a year.
"General, Jiedu's order has arrived." The messenger brought Zhuang Xun's handwriting.
Li Rusi opened it and took a look. Her expression was not surprising. She insisted on the content above. The strategic goal was achieved. The reinforcements from the three east border routes of You Kingdom could no longer go north, and the food supply could not go north, weakening the army of You Kingdom. quantity and supply strength.
And according to the news, King You was seriously injured after being assassinated, and the eldest prince of You Kingdom in the south launched a rebellion. Currently, You Kingdom is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the situation is very good, as if the victory over You Kingdom is right in front of you.
"Are you going to ask dad to get Canglin at that time?" Li Rusi thought for a while, whether it was okay or not.
If she wants this, Li Pingyuan will definitely give it to her when the time comes. But after the last incident, she is more aware of her identity. For the future confrontation between the two armies, she did not take it into consideration. It is not a last resort. She does not want to ask Li Pingyuan again. On Pingyuan.
Moreover, according to the theory of merit, the more merit you have done, the more merit you will receive. For this kind of merit at the level of annihilation, the county soldiers were ambushed by Shangliangshan. It is also the merit of the Shangliangshan bandit army that he won two battles without any blood.
Is such merit enough to resurrect He Tan? Li Rusi didn't know, but she longed for greater achievements. Damn it, she was trapped by the 100,000 troops in Shangliang Mountain.
She was full of helplessness, her eyes were distant, her almond-shaped eyes stared at the camp opposite, and they gradually became fierce, like a tiger devouring human flesh and blood.
The generals on the side said nothing and did not understand what Li Rusi was thinking. They also looked at the camp on Shangliang Mountain with concentration.
"Something's wrong, something's quite wrong." Li Rusi frowned, as if she saw something.
"While cooking, there is too little smoke. Send me an order to open the door and fight." Li Rusi said decisively.
"No, general, we can't expose our weaknesses to these bandit troops like this. As long as we hold on, we can win." The generals were shocked as they were suddenly about to attack.
"Let's test it out, just to train the combat strength of our new army and legion." Li Rusi noticed something was wrong, and based on the intelligence of the past few days, the frequency of faces challenged and other issues, she planned to send out troops to test.
"Yes." All the admirals looked at each other in confusion, but Li Rusi's order had already been given, and her temperament was extremely strict in running the army, so no one dared to dissuade her.
The battle was set up, and a leader from the other side came forward to challenge. Li Rusi, wearing armor and a devil mask, rode out on horseback.
While observing the camp, he slowly thought about where to open a breakthrough if a fight broke out.
The two armies faced each other, because there is such a thing as martial arts, and the fighting generals in front of the battle are also customs and habits, but the other side did not understand what kind of monster they were facing, a sturdy man, riding a tall horse, with a disdainful expression.
"Little girl, I heard that you have the power to fight tigers..." Before the general on the opposite side could say provocative words, Li Rusi had already rushed over. The general could only parry in a hurry. He was too weak to even leave one in the history books. name.
The method was to use great force to suppress people, and with a blow from the spear, he would sweep off the horse of the person whose name had not yet been reported, and then kill him happily and kill him in front of the formation, leaving only the half-red horse, which was at a loss what to do. .
"A surprise attack, you vicious woman..." Another tough man wanted to avenge the person in front of him, so he rushed over quickly to die.
The result was obvious. He was stabbed with a hole by a spear, blood burst out and infected his chest. He was lifted up by Li Rusi with one hand without any other movements. His arm strength was amazing.
When Li Rusi swung the body away and picked up the gun, no one dared to speak anymore. Everyone swallowed their saliva and opened their eyes in surprise.
Many people are already afraid. Is the general in the evil mask in front of them really a human? Isn't it some kind of humanoid monster?
"Is there anyone else?" He said hoarsely, and the evil ghost's mask made the ghosts in Shangliang Mountain seem to have really seen a ghost, and they turned their heads without daring to look directly.
As if they were about to face death when they looked at each other, they felt a sense of mental oppression, and murderous intent seemed to permeate every enemy soldier.
"I'll do it..." After a long while, the morale of the soldiers was not stable, and another big man rushed out with a fierce expression. He mustered up his courage, as if he was planning how to survive Li Rusi's hand and how to end it decently.
The result was certain, they were not a single enemy. The bandit leader who was swept to the ground was trampled by horse hooves. He vomited blood from the corner of his mouth and died with his eyes open.
"Retreat, retreat quickly..." Now the bandit army on the opposite side was scared. The woman in front of him was a real evil ghost. Her expression could not be seen under the mask. It relied on the vicious mask on the surface and the cleanliness of killing people. Lili, people have already figured out what kind of monster it is.
"Kill..." Back in the camp, Li Rusi ordered his troops with murderous intent.
"kill!"
Killing three generals in a row inspired the soldiers who went into battle, and their morale was high. Li Rusi took the lead, relying on the Gang Qi to protect her body, and took the lead in charging into the enemy's formation.
No matter how powerful the bandit army in Shangliang Mountain was, it was nothing more than a bandit army. They were not fully equipped with armor. On the contrary, the soldiers and horses brought out by Li Rusi were basically armored. The bandit army obviously had the upper hand in numbers, but they fell down when touched. Li Rusi's soldiers and horses charged and were defeated.
Li Rusi was like the god of death passing through. Wherever he passed, the bandits were all killed. People were so frightened that they fled back in fear, with no intention of resisting.
When they were forced to retreat to the walled city, they didn't care whether there were any of their own people below, so they quickly closed the door and then fired arrows to drive away Li Rusi and others.
Li Rusi did not bother, Ming Jin withdrew his troops and stopped pursuing, because his suspicion had been verified.
After capturing some prisoners and returning to the city, Li Rusi quickly walked to the combat command room after asking for the answers she expected.
These leaders are too weak. Secondly, there are so many people. The defeated generals actually want to retreat, which shows that they are guilty. Combined with the news of the prisoners, the result is imminent.
"The general is brave and the enemy is invincible." Li Rusi just climbed up the city wall, and all the county officials rushed to praise her, and they all flattered her.
Seeing Li Rusi kill three generals in a row, they were more shocked than anyone else. They originally thought he was a Confucian general, and felt uneasy. They also thought that Yu State had no one to use, so he actually wanted to use a woman. They didn't expect him to be so fierce and use one hand. The gun picked up a strong man in armor, are you human?
Winning the battle will naturally lead to the support of thousands of people. Her identity as a woman and her disobedience to others are all secondary and secondary.
"No need to boast, they are just a few miscellaneous soldiers, they don't count. The enemy's main force has gone to attack Jingting Road. Please count the troops and horses, and follow me to support General He and General Wang."
Li Rusi ignored the flattery. She spread out the map and drew the route. With piercing eyes, she had discovered the target of the bandits in Shangliang Mountain and calculated the opponent's route. At the final bifurcation point, Li Rusi crossed The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
So he immediately made a decision and ordered: "Let me send an order to General He and General Wang to be careful. Don't support us for the time being. Strengthen the defense of Jingting Road and be sure to stop the invading enemy."
"The enemy's army is heading towards Jingting Road?" Xing Mingjiedushi wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, Xing Ming was saved. As long as his road was fine, his life was saved.
"That's right, don't they care about their lair? They are bandits. So what if they capture Jingting? If they are found out, the whole house will be taken care of by them." Li Rusi frowned. There must be something she hasn't figured out yet. Something she didn't understand.
"Seeing that the city was strong, they didn't dare to fight the enemy, so they thought of attacking Jingting Road. They must have thought that this situation could be hidden from the general?" someone said next to them.
"Of course I know, but why, there is no need to do this. There is no way out, Jingting Road cannot be attacked, and Canglin Road has been ransacked by us again. They will become a wandering army. They could have fought steadily. There is no need to do this. After all, the opponent has the advantage in numbers, even though they are just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers."
Li Rusi said that the consequences of doing this were very serious. This act of abandoning the family fortune was too weird, so she felt that the enemy was brewing some conspiracy.
"So what if we lay down Jingting Road? Apart from being closer to Heng, it's just an exchange between Canglin Road and looking at the food on Jingting Road? Or is it to eliminate the partial troops of General He and General Wang?" I thought about the possibilities. , Li Rusi couldn’t understand.
How could she have figured out that the purpose of these people was to attack the capital and be successful if they didn't succeed? She never thought about the escape route, but took advantage of the best opportunity to overthrow the tyrant Nie Jin to make a desperate move.
Home? If you can't kill this beast like Nie Jin, can you return home? These people have long been homeless, and a few of them cannot go against the will of the public.
None of the people in Shangliangshan had a blood feud with Nie Jin, and none of them were fighting to the death with him, so it was not surprising to make this decision.
So even if Li Rusi tried to break her head, she still couldn't figure it out. How did she know that this group of people just wanted to kill Hengdu, with a life-or-death attitude, while Jingting only went up to Liangshan and the group of people went to Hengdu. The only way to go.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Just make preparations after you discover it. Keep the same in response to changes. Although she doesn't know what you are going to do, she already knows where to go. There are only a few roads to take, and she can't fly.
So the plan was divided into three steps. The first step was to persuade the bandits to surrender and feint to attack the bandits. The second step was to order Wang Qingzheng and He Heng to stand by to stop them. The third step was to attack from front to back to eliminate the tribesmen in Shangliangshan and completely occupy the three eastern borders of Youguo. .
The plan was like this, but some minor accidents occurred. As a feint attack force, they did not accept the persuasion to surrender. Li Rusi lost patience and wanted to attack by force, and these people surrendered again.
They were dispersed, fearful of repetition, and had to delay for a few days. At the same time, these people who were eager for revenge heard that King You was assassinated and was about to die. It was considered a forced march. They were really afraid that they would not have the opportunity to whip Nie Jin to death, and they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
But the result is good, at least for people like Zhuang Xun, because 60,000 people lost against 20,000 people. Sixty thousand people went up to Liangshan, and Zhuang Xun's side had 20,000 people. The process was very complicated. The summary is that it was because of the mountainous terrain. , a group of people went up Liangshan to attack the city guarded by Wang Qingzheng, and then He Heng came out from the side mountain. The well-disciplined army collided with the bandit army that had been trained but not very well trained, and then these bandit armies melted.
Anyway, no matter who received this battle report, they felt blinded, including Nie Xu, the eldest prince of You Kingdom who was fighting hard on the southern border.
He also just won a war and captured one.
It's difficult, it's really difficult. The king of Nanyue County has been killed once. The south of You Kingdom has been killed by Nie Jin once, and there are still many people left, or they are not people.
But he only had this place to choose. To the west was the State of Zhao. He had just escaped and did not want to have anything to do with the State of Zhao. The people of the State of Zhao hated him.
The north was the main battlefield. It would be ineffective to go there by himself, and it might be easily solved. Only the east and south were left. To the east was the Yu State, which had a feud with You State, so in the end he chose the south because the southern border was the Taihang Mountains.
The entire Jizhou is separated from the southern states, and there are no Chidao connections. There are only a few Chidao leading to Yuzhou and Zhao State, so this is the reason why Jizhou is the back garden of Zhao State.
"Fortunately, I didn't go to the east. The Jiannan Jiedu Envoy is too strong. Who are his subordinates? Three of them were killed in formation, and they seem to be his equal wives. They are heroes among women. And that He Heng, it seems. It’s also invulnerable to arrows, so it’s considered the best among mortals.”
Taoist nun Lingyu said with emotion that she was somewhat thankful for Nie Xu's decision. We had discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the two places several times. If something happened, the Yu State sent troops to intervene. Of course, they did not know that it was Zhuang. Ask this side to make your own decision.
"I wish I was in the east. It will be difficult to get the east back now." Nie Xu showed a solemn expression.
"The three roads in the east and the two roads in the west of Yu State have been fought over for a long time by the two countries, because these five roads are mountainous and can form passes. They also have basins that can ensure food supply. Now they are all occupied by Yu State. , if you want to get it back, you may have to wait for the civil war in Yu."
"Didn't the Kingdom of Yu say that King Yu's life is not long? There should be civil strife soon. It would be nice if we took it back by then." Lingyu seemed much more optimistic.
"It's not that simple. Don't forget who is occupying these three roads now? He is the illegitimate son of King Yu and the son-in-law of Li Pingyuan. Even if he becomes the leader, he may be forced to recognize him. After all, with the help of With Cheng Guo's power, he has taken over the land again." Nie Xu took a deep breath and said.
"What should we do?" Lingyu panicked.
"Nothing else to do. Since Zhuang Xun occupies our three eastern borders, Li Pingyuan will not have any more demands from us. After all, we still have the heavy burden of dealing with Zhao Guo."
