The strongest Marquis in history

Today's army already has fighting spirit and combat effectiveness has been condensed.

Therefore, Wang Qi didn't have much to worry about.

Wang Qi just ordered the sentry to keep an eye on Mengshan's movements, and temporarily ignored Mengshan's situation.

After lunch, the army took a rest and continued on their way.

It is getting closer and closer to Mengshan.

When the army led by Wang Qi was less than ten miles away from Mengshan Mountain, another sentry sentry flew back and came to Wang Qi's side, and said loudly: "Young master, there is the latest news. The front-line observation sent back According to the news, there must be soldiers ambushing in the forest at the foot of Mount Meng. Because there are birds hovering above the forest, they still refuse to leave."

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Understood, let's investigate again!"

The sentry left quickly.

Wang Qi looked at Zhuge Feng and the others, and said: "Now the situation of Mengshan has been confirmed. The bandits in Mengshan are obviously going to ambush us. Now that the other side has arranged such a method, what do you think, how should we break the situation?" enemy?"

Dealing with Mengshan bandits, Wang Qi never took it seriously.

The mere Dream Mountain Bandit is not worth mentioning.

The specific strategy and formation of troops depends on what Zhuge Feng and Xiao Qingzhi say.

Zhuge Feng thought for a while, and said: "Second brother, in my opinion, this matter is actually very simple. Since we now know that there are bandits entrenched in the forest of Mengshan Mountain, we will use them to hide in the mountain, and with a big fire, Burn Mengshan."

"It's winter now, and there are dead branches and rotten leaves everywhere. Although there is no dry environment in summer, there are even some tides in the mountains. But there is a fire in the mountains, and the smoke is billowing. Their ambush will definitely fail."

"Mengshan bandits are bound to be in trouble."

Zhuge Feng said: "At that time, it will be easy to destroy the Mengshan bandits."

Wang Qi nodded and said without saying anything, "Xiao Qingzhi, what do you think?"

Xiao Qingzhi said: "Young master, I don't think the strategy of burning the forest is very suitable. The simplest reason is that the mountain is too big, and it takes a lot of time for the fire to really burn. Even the mountain is humid, so it may not be able to burn. Get up. During this period, Mengshan bandits can take the opportunity to escape. After all, we never trapped them to death."

Wang Qi asked: "Since that's the case, what's your strategy?"

Xiao Qingzhi said in a deep voice: "The low-level strategy is to lure the snake out of the hole, and then ambush the opponent. We pretended not to know, and continued on our way. When the opponent started to ambush and attack, we pretended to retreat to attract the bandits to fight. Then, we attacked in one go and wiped out the enemy. The strength of Mengshan bandits."

Zhuge Feng shook his head and said, "I still stick to my strategy."

Xiao Qingzhi stopped talking.

Which strategy to choose is Wang Qi's choice, and it depends on how Wang Qi arranges it.

Wang Qi thought for a while and said: "This time, I will use my brother's strategy, but it needs to be adjusted. The reason is very simple. If we have more troops, we can use the strategy of luring snakes out of the hole to attract Mengshan bandits to attack, and finally start to counterattack."

"It's just that we don't have many troops now. Once we take the initiative to enter the opponent's ambush circle and allow the opponent to ambush, first of all, our soldiers will definitely be damaged."

"We only have more than 1000 people. If there is a loss, even if we lose two or three hundred people, the loss will be too great. Especially if we have to retreat, once we retreat, the soldiers will still be injured."

"The final counterattack, although it can reverse the situation. But such a loss is not worth it."

Wang Qi said: "My plan is to improve my brother's strategy. Because of the weather, it is indeed not easy to set fire to Mengshan bandits. On the one hand, the mountains and forests are so large that we cannot surround each other, and the other party can withdraw."

"On the other hand, once fighting in the mountains and forests, we have no advantage."

"So our arrangement is to set fires everywhere, causing thick smoke to billow in the mountains and forests. The other party knows that we have found out, so they will not continue to ambush, and will go out of the mountains and forests to fight."

Wang Qi finally said: "In this way, we will attack directly and defeat the opponent head-on."

Xiao Qingzhi thought about it after hearing it, and said: "Young master's strategy, I agree with you."

Zhuge Feng said: "The humble official also agrees."

Both agree.

Wang Qidao: "Since that's the case, let's arrange the layout according to this strategy. Right now we are not far from Mount Meng. Xiao Qingzhi, you arrange it in advance."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qingzhi responded immediately and quickly made arrangements.

The army continued on its way.

It is getting closer and closer to Mengshan.

Chapter 239 Fire

At the foot of Mount Meng, in the forest.

Today's weather is quite humid and even colder in the mountains and forests.After all, after entering winter, the weather has begun to turn cold, unlike when it is clear and refreshing in autumn.

Hong Dushan took his men and hid in the forest to wait.

His eyes are full of anticipation.

Wang Qi is indeed very good, but Wang Qi is only good personally.On the battlefield, although the Grandmaster can kill the generals and capture the flag, as long as there are many people, it is enough to drag the Grandmaster to death abruptly.

Hong Dushan has a lot of troops, he has this confidence.

Hong Dushan came down the mountain in person today, with his helmet on and armor on, fully armed.He sat on a rock and waited quietly.After waiting for a long time, but no one came, Hong Dushan became a little anxious.

Hong Dushan looked at Ye Quanming at the side, and asked, "Mr. Ye, the detectives have been watching Wang Qi's whereabouts. How far is Wang Qi from us now?"

Ye Quanming replied: "Master, according to the latest news, the army led by Wang Qi is about five miles away from us. As long as Wang Qi's army moves quickly, it will arrive soon."

"Good, good, good!"

Hong Dushan had a look of expectation on his face.

It's finally here.

Hong Dushan waited for this moment for a long time.As soon as he turned his gaze, he looked at the generals under his command and ordered: "Send the order and order all the soldiers to prepare. Once the village master gives the order, everyone will rush out and don't hold back any hands."

The messenger got the order and immediately notified it.

Many soldiers in the forest ran back and forth, constantly conveying orders, and constantly adjusting and dispatching.

Prepare for the next big battle.

Ye Quanming frowned. The ambush in the mountains and forests made it impossible to act with great fanfare, and even, he couldn't walk around in a hurry.But their current appearance doesn't look like an ambush at all.

On the contrary, it seemed that they were waiting for Wang Qilai in the forest with great fanfare.

It is extremely inappropriate to do so.

It is easy to show flaws.

Ye Quanming frowned as he looked at Hong Dushan who was full of fighting spirit and even complacent.

He is not so optimistic.

Wang Qi is not an ordinary person. When it comes to martial arts, Wang Qi is a master of martial arts with great strength.When it comes to strategy, at least Wang Qi was born as a general and was influenced by Wang Zongxi since he was a child, so it is impossible that he does not understand the principles of marching and fighting.

It is not easy to defeat Wang Qi.

Ye Quanming also knew that Hong Dushan could not be persuaded, and now, he could only wait quietly.

Sentinels are now constantly coming back to report the news.The latest report is that the team led by Wang Qi is less than three miles away from their ambush.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

"Village Master, it's not good, it's not good."

At this moment, suddenly, another soldier came running like flying.

The soldiers went straight to Hong Dushan's side and reported: "Village Master, at the edge of the forest, suddenly a big fire started. There are countless such fire points."

"Big fires were ignited here and there, and smoke was already billowing."

"The fire and the smoke are spreading rapidly. If we wait for a while, the smoke caused by this fire is likely to become bigger and bigger and affect us."

The soldier said: "Under this premise, it will be very difficult for us to hide in the mountains and ambush Wang Qi."

brush!

Hong Dushan's complexion changed slightly.

how come?

Why did the edge of the forest suddenly catch fire?

Hong Dushan said in a deep voice: "What's going on, this mountain forest is quite humid now, so it shouldn't be easy to catch fire. Especially, there are multiple fires at the same time."

Ye Quanming sighed, stroked his beard and said: "Village Master, although it is true that the forest in winter is not easy to catch fire, but in fact, as long as kerosene and spirits are poured on the ground and lit with an open flame, it is enough to ignite the forest."

After a pause, Ye Quanming said: "I expected that it was Wang Qi who knew we were hiding in the mountains and arranged for someone to set the fire on fire, so he deliberately targeted us like this. Our ambush failed."

Hong Dushan's complexion changed again and again.

Ambush, failed.

Hong Dushan frowned, looked at Ye Quanming, and asked, "Mr. Ye, what should we do now?"

Ye Quanming thought quickly, and said after a while: "Master, we now have two choices."

Hong Dushan said: "Let's listen."

Ye Quanming said: "The first choice is to immediately retreat into the mountains and return to the half-mountainside village of Mengshan. After all, the current fire is burning, at most it will cause some fires. Although it will spread to some areas, it is not to say, it is true It will endanger Mengshan. So we are still safe now."

Hong Dushan shook his head, and said directly: "How can we retreat directly before fighting. If so, what face does our village master have? I don't agree with such a choice. Mr. Ye, what about the second choice?"

Ye Quanming said: "The second choice is to immediately rush out of the forest and prepare to fight against Wang Qi's army. Although the forest is on fire, in fact, due to the weather, the fire spread slowly, and it has not really burned into a sea of ​​flames. Our army can still go out, block the official road, and intercept Wang Qi's army."

Hong Dushan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he praised: "That's right, this is an excellent suggestion. Right now, we choose to fight Wang Qi. Come here, pass down the order, kill out of the forest, and line up on the official road .”

"Yes!"

The orderly went to arrange immediately.

The order was sent out in a short period of time.

Soldiers under Hong Dushan's command rushed outside quickly.

In a short period of time, he rushed out of the forest.At this time, although there was billowing smoke and fire burning in the mountain forest, in fact, it didn't affect Mengshan's soldiers at all.

The bandits under Hong Dushan's command hardly suffered any damage.

Everyone gathered on the official road.

As soon as the army lined up and set up camp, there was already a black crowd on the official road ahead.

The team led by Wang Qi has already appeared.

More than 1000 soldiers quickly lined up.

Hong Dushan looked at Wang Qi's army who arrived with his troops, and a bright smile appeared on his face.His eyes fell on the front, he looked around for a while, and shouted: "Where is Wang Qi?"

Wang Qi came out on horseback, looked at Hong Dushan who was shouting, and said, "My son is here."

Hong Dushan raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he looked very confident. He said, "I am Hong Dushan, the village master of Mengshan Mountain. I am leading troops here today to intercept you."

"Wang Qi, even if you knew about the ambush of the village master and sent someone to set fire to the mountain in advance, in fact, it would have no effect on me, and none of my soldiers were injured."

"The six thousand elites under my command are all arrayed here."

Hong Dushan said: "You are no more than a thousand people. Now put down your weapons, food and money and leave. I will not kill you and let you go. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being cruel and merciless. I will kill you here."

At this moment, Hong Dushan was extremely strong, and he didn't pay attention to Wang Qi at all.

Although Wang Qi is powerful, he is also human.

Hong Dushan thought that his number of soldiers was large enough to exhaust Wang Qi to death.

When Wang Qi heard this, he smiled and said, "Hong Dushan, you have only 6000 people, you are nothing to be afraid of. I want to say, you go to the side immediately, and I will spare you today. If you want to intercept, I will kill you today."

"furious!"

Hong Dushan looked disdainful.

He said coldly: "Don't blame me for being rude if you don't eat the toast and take the fine wine."

"Pass the order down, kill!"

Hong Dushan immediately pulled out the saber from his waist.

With a swing of the knife, he slashed forward.

At this moment, Hong Dushan's army began to rush forward quickly.The mighty soldiers sprinted, and countless soldiers shouted, the momentum was frightening, and the attack was like a tide.

Hong Dushan never went there himself.

He knew very well that Wang Qi's strength was extraordinary, so he never went up to fight in person.
