According to what was stated in the secret letter, Annan's defense of Haitao was a very special way to defeat the Lao army that was strictly guarding the area.
At present, the Qiongzhou army has cleared all the thorns and is preparing to approach its capital.
Then...what kind of special method is it?
According to the letter, one day, the naval general came to the enemy's formation single-handedly and shouted that he wanted to compete with the opponent's general in light bow and arrow skills.
The reaction of the enemy generals was somewhat cautious. They refused outright because they were worried about falling into a trap. However, they could not bear the tide of ridicule from Qiong's army, so in the end, they had no choice but to agree out of face.
Lao generals speculated that Coach Annan's move should be an attempt to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the military.
However, this also plays into their hands.
Recently, the Lao army has been passively being beaten, and its morale is even lower than on the top of the Tubo Plateau. In this situation, a relatively positive event is urgently needed to boost the situation. Therefore, they will make a decision to accompany them after weighing the balance.
What's more, this competition event is still the archery they are best at. In this case, what else is there to worry about?
However, just as he was about to draw his bow and arrow, Annan coach Haitao suddenly spoke again.
Such a dry arrow contest is really boring, how about adding a bonus for fun? For example, bet some money or something.
I mean, take a gamble by the way.
The Lao generals thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so they readily took out some money.
General Haitao was even more generous and threw out two large ingots of gold.
He also said: As long as someone beats him, he can take the gold away. If he breaks his promise, he will be worse than a pig!
Under the strong stimulation of money, the soldiers of the three armies of Laos immediately began to feel itchy, and they all became eager to try.
Soon, the two sides finalized the rules of the competition.
In terms of image, it is somewhat similar to the Olympic target shooting in the previous life. The slight difference is that winning or losing is determined only by the total number of rings of the three arrows.
But in this link, a puzzling scene occurred.
What?
No matter how great the Lao generals are, General Haitao is always one step ahead of them.
To outsiders, it looks very much like a lucky person.
And it looks like he won by luck.
This phenomenon undoubtedly strongly stimulated the natural gambling instinct of the Lao soldiers. And just like the Yellow River overflowing, it becomes uncontrollable.
However, it backfired!
The more they try to win, the more they fail.
Haitao keenly seized this opportunity to criticize, ridiculing and making cold remarks.
Soon, the Lao coach and two other deputy coaches who were sitting in the Chinese military tent were deceived!
These three people are all brave and resourceful people, and they are very high-spirited. How can they bear such humiliation?
Directly, angry!
As soon as they walked out of the village gate, they started yelling at Haitao.
At this moment, the latter suddenly took out a bow made of bear sinew and shot it at the full moon!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three earth-shattering arrows shot out in a split second!
The poor three commanders of the Lao Kingdom fell to the ground and died like a passerby before he could tell his name.
The situation has changed suddenly!
Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, Hong Tao immediately ordered a massacre!
Since the Lao army lost the command of its coach, it quickly fell into chaos. How could it still organize an effective defense?
In fact it is!
They are very much like the Chinese men's football team in the previous life. They can only symbolically fall over in the midfield and backcourt. They will be raped and shot. It is only a matter of time.
You guessed it right!
In just one pack of cigarettes, the arrogant Lao army became a legend of the past.
And General Haitao of Qiongzhou.
Three arrows determine the outcome!
Fight for fame!
"Ha ha……"
"I really didn't expect that this guy Hai Tao would have such a weird plan!"
Qi Yu smiled and praised at the same time, his joy was beyond words.
Yes, he was happy.
In this battle, not only did he achieve a military victory, but he also re-recognized Hong Tao's true ability. The overall gains were considerable.
Especially the latter, it is the sublimation of talent that no amount of money can buy.
Big thumbs up!
After the excitement passed, Qi Yu immediately summoned Yu Hai and Peng Wenchang.
What does he want to do?
Without him, prepare to take over
The coming takeover matter.
At present, the overall situation of Laos has been decided, and it is only a matter of time to capture its capital, so now, it is time to make some preparations for a rainy day.
"Master Qi, is this true?"
"Of course! It's absolutely true!"
Neither Yu Hai nor Peng Wenchang expected that General Hai Tao could actually take control of Laos in such a short period of time. This speed was almost comparable to flying a kite in a typhoon.
What else could there be but a surprise?
After his emotions calmed down slightly, Qi Yu said: "In my estimation, Laos will raise the white flag and surrender in the near future, and by then, some corresponding urgent matters will occur. For example, administrative surrender, military reorganization, Reshaping the law, etc., a series of major events. At the same time, we must also consider how to calm the people and maintain stability and many other people's livelihood issues. All the above major events need to be handled by capable people, otherwise, there will be A secondary civil commotion occurred."
After a pause, he emphasized: "Among the above matters, the matter of accepting the surrender of the King of Laos is the most important. Only by lowering his symbolic flag and lowering it well can it be truly and properly handed over."
This arrangement is indeed reasonable.
Looking at Yu Hai and Peng Wenchang, one is in charge of administration and the other is in charge of justice. They are indeed suitable choices. If the two of them go there, they will be able to stabilize the overall chaotic situation.
But there is one thing that is puzzling.
Accepting the enemy's king to surrender was an important matter as big as the sky. Logically speaking, Qi Yu, who was the chief minister at the time, should personally come forward to negotiate. Only in this way can it be solemn and formal.
But now, only the Chief Secretary and the Inspector-General were sent to hand over. Wouldn't it seem too childish?
In response, Mr. Qi smiled and said: This arrangement is very suitable.
suitable?
oh, I get it.
This is because Mr. Qi specially takes care of his subordinates and deliberately gives his subordinates a good opportunity to show his face. The purpose is naturally to increase his reputation within his jurisdiction.
ah!
What a good and considerate leader!
Yu Hai and Peng Wen looked at each other and gave a thumbs up to Mr. Qi tacitly.
However, what Qi Yu said next directly surprised them.
And the sense of pride that had just been established was shattered.
