Chu Ning and Bai Su stayed up all night, but they didn't feel tired. They were just worried about the things down the mountain, and their hearts were like a heavy boulder.

While waiting for the guards to melt the snow, Bai Su took out the lyre and played it, probably because her mind was not calm enough, so she played it intermittently for a long time, but did not reach a tune.

Not long after, Bai Su found a chess piece the size of a coin from somewhere, spread out a huge map on the ground, and invited Chuning to play chess with her.

This map was made of fine white linen, with mountains, rivers, cities, and passes of various sizes drawn on it. After looking at it for a while, Chuning realized that it turned out to be a complete map of Qingzhou.Donglai County, Jiaodong Country, Beihai County, Jinan County...etc.

"This is the map of the whole Qingzhou?" Chuning couldn't help being surprised, why did Master Bai go out and climb a mountain to spend the night, and even brought the map with him?Could it be that she had to sleep with the map in her arms every day?

She really deserves to be the woman who wants to help the world conquer the stars and sea!Always prepare for your journey.

"Miss Ning, since waiting for nothing is also worrying, why don't we play a game of chess." Bai Su handed the black pieces to Chuning, and held the white pieces herself.

"Play chess on this map?" This is a new way of playing, and Chu Ning immediately asked, "Please teach me how to play chess?"

Bai Su looked at the map and asked, "Miss Ning, would you like to hold the black stone to be the king of Jiaodong, or hold the white stone for me?"

Could it be that Bai Su wants to play a strategy simulation game?Chu Ning immediately became interested, and originally wanted to choose Bai Su's side, after all, he was more familiar with the situation here, but seeing that Bai Su had already pushed Heizi over, he had no choice but to say, "Then I will be the king of Jiaodong."

"The king of Jiaodong is now a big country, with [-] households under his jurisdiction, [-] households in the food town, and [-] troops." Bai Su said while laying chess pieces on the map: "Now, the border is not stable, the emperor is old, and the court is quite There are calls to re-establish the former crown prince as the crown prince. You are anxious to prepare money and go to Beijing, so you sent a thousand cavalry and five hundred infantry to find money for you."

While talking, Bai Su had already laid out his white chess pieces, and Chuning took the black chess pieces and asked, "And with my [-]-five troops, I already know that the county seat of Huang County has a lot of money and food stored by you, Bai Su, right?"

"Yes." Bai Su nodded, "You want to take money and food from Huang County."

"As far as the actual situation is concerned, it seems that besides the thousand and five elite soldiers, I also have about two thousand bandits on Donglai Mountain." While speaking, Chuning put down a bullet on Donglai Mountain. black pawns.

"From Jiaodong Country, there are two ways to get to Huang County. One is to bypass Chengye County of Donglai County and come from Qucheng County and Ji County. This is the shortest way." Looking at the map, Chu Ning Zhizi Said: "The second is to bypass the back of Donglai Mountain, on the way to Huang County and Penglai, turn around and fight back to Huang County...Of course, these two roads are suitable for cavalry."

"But I'm in a hurry to grab money, so the cavalry will definitely not take such a long and unprofitable road. Anyway, robbing you, Bai Su, is robbing, and robbing the whole world is robbing, so why don't I rob all the way from Qucheng County? "Speaking, Chuning hesitated for a moment, and still placed a black chess piece representing cavalry on the border between Ji County and Huang County.

Bai Su looked at Chuning calmly, nodded lightly, and heard Chuning continue: "Cavalry is good at field combat and is the best unit for robbery. This is the best choice. But infantry marches slowly. The gravity is also low, so it is not suitable for robbery, so I might consider splitting up with the cavalry."

As he said that, Chuning turned his attention to Donglai Mountain, remembering the news brought by Yao Nan, Zhang Ming once led people across Donglai Mountain to Zhuang County to carry grain, which meant that her infantry could also go this way Shanlu, so she placed another black chess piece representing [-] refined moves on Donglai Mountain.

At this point, after Chuning's troops were deployed, when he looked up, he saw Bai Su looking at her with deep eyes, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Why does Miss Nine look at me like this?"

"Because, the formation of thousands of elite soldiers in the Jiaodong Palace is exactly as you had imagined." Bai Su looked away, not knowing what she was thinking of, and after a pause, she said again: "Next, you should How to act?"

"Donglai Mountain is very steep, and the palace is very poor. I don't necessarily have too much food and grass. First there were two thousand bandits, and now there are five hundred more elite soldiers. It must be a lot of pressure to feed him. "Chuning thought for a while, and then said: "But I have an advantage, that is, you Bai Su is not in the territory, and the dragons have no leader. It is extremely cold again, and the snow on the ground has not yet melted, and everyone wants to hide in the house to keep warm, so the shrimp soldiers and crab generals you left behind may not be able to expect that I will attack on such a night..."

"I came down from Donglai Mountain and arrived at the county seat at most within an hour and a half. At that time, your soldiers should be fast asleep. This is a good time for me to sneak attack." Chu Ning first put the chess pieces on Donglai Mountain into the county seat The door, and then move the black piece representing the cavalry.

The cavalryman had just moved into the map of Huangxian County when he saw Bai Su quickly pushing a white chess piece over. Inadvertently, the two touched lightly with their fingertips, and Chu Ning's heart thumped. Hand retracted.

"Here, I have a thousand cavalrymen from Tianwangzhai waiting for you." Bai Su calmly put down the chess piece as if he didn't realize it, then retracted his hand and placed it on the map in front of him.

A thousand cavalrymen were blocked in the middle of the battle before they could leave the army. Chuning had no choice but to withdraw his distracted thoughts, but he still couldn't help but glanced at Bai Su secretly. Rubbing my dry and rough paws, I suddenly felt very sad. As a majestic and powerful attacker, why did I forget to take care of my paws...uh...hands?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Bai Su say: "At this moment, the battle on the cavalry's side is starting, you probably don't know the outcome of this warrior, and you have an internal response on my side, so you have opened the city gate at this moment. Are you five hundred infantry going into the city or retreating?"

"Of course, go to the city!" Chuning said, and he was about to push the two black chess pieces that replaced the five hundred elite infantry and the two thousand bandits into the city.

But Bai Su said again: "The five hundred elite soldiers will definitely obey your orders, but will the two thousand bandits obey your orders to enter the city?"

Chuning asked back: "Since they are all bandits and have money and food in them, why don't they go to the city to grab?"

"But, what if the bandit leader has many relatives and friends in my hands?" Bai Su said, placing a white chess piece representing Xiao Duan's two relatives in the camp of the Weimin Army.

"If this is the case, the bandit leader should be thinking that he wants to rescue his relatives and friends before entering the city, and these gangsters must want to enter the city to grab things. Therefore, they will inevitably have differences." Chu Ning thought for a while, and went to Weimin The army also added a black chess piece, assuming two thousand bandits, one thousand went to the Weimin army to rescue Xiao Duan's family, and the other thousand bandits and five hundred elites entered the city.

"Good time!" After Bai Su said, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and a slight smile flashed across her face: "Can the entire battalion of the guards and civilians be able to take down a thousand bandits like you?"

Without even thinking about it, Chuning replied, "Of course!"

If the [-] well-equipped guards can't beat [-] bandits, isn't it a waste of time for her to train for so long?

"But I still have [-] elites and [-] bandits entering the city. What do you use to stop them?" Chu Ning clicked on the county town on the map, raised his head and asked Bai Su, but happened to catch Bai Su's faint smile. into the fundus.

I have to admit that Bai Su is really good-looking. When she is not smiling, she is cold and noble, and when she smiles, it is like melting ice and snow, with warmth and tenderness coexisting. Even if it is just the corners of her mouth at this time, it gives people a thrilling feeling.

Chuning felt that he was about to fall in love early.

Bai Su said: "I still have five hundred parts, so I am lying in ambush in the city and waiting for you."

"But with your five hundred songs, how can you defeat my five hundred elite soldiers and one thousand bandits?" Chuning said.

"It's no match for me." Bai Su said: "But there is still the whole guard army outside my city. As long as the guard army takes down the thousand bandits, can they enter the city to help me and win against you?"

"Yes." Chu Ning thought for a while, and then said: "But I am a prince, as long as I am not too stupid, then my soldiers will definitely have better equipment than you, which means that the individual soldiers are stronger than you. You fight me with the same number of cavalry, and the chances of losing here are very high."

"Based on the way you and I talk, this place must be a loss." Bai Su said: "But it's not like I don't have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"You mean, hold me back with cavalry, and wait for Buqu and the guards to come to help, right?" Chu Ning said, "But my army is stronger than yours, so I can completely suppress you and eat your army first." Cavalry, wait for your Buqu and the Guards Army to come over, and then eat them separately. Your Buqu and the Guards Army are fighting on foot, and they have no advantage against my cavalry, even if it is the army after the war."

After finishing speaking, both of them were silent, because they suddenly discovered that the two sides participating in this war were both winning or losing between five and five.

In terms of strategy, Bai Su won. She planned every step of the way, anticipating the enemy's opportunity. Every move she made, she had already anticipated the opponent's reaction and action, leaving traps one after another to bleed the enemy's face and lead the opponent nose go.

In terms of strength, the King of Jiaodong is slightly better. Just as Chu Ning said, although the King of Jiaodong is not good to the people, he has spent a lot of effort on the army that can ensure his status and safety. The individual equipment is too much .

"I have done what I should do." Bai Su stood up, looked at the rolling hills outside the house, at the plain whiteness all over the mountains and plains, at the gradually darkening sky, and said calmly: "Now, I can only watch the swallows." Ling Ge's strength has increased."

When strategy and strength are equal, you can only rely on on-the-spot tactics to decide the outcome!

At this very moment, in the fringe area at the junction of Zhuang County and Huang County, a group of soldiers from Jiaodong Prince's Mansion in iron armor were eating and feeding their horses. Wu De, the deputy commander in exquisite armor, was gnawing on a roast chicken while gnawing on it. While cursing, this chicken is too thin and has no meat at all.

But in fact, this chicken and 23 Wen were originally good things for a family of six to keep for the New Year. The family begged for a long time, hoping that Wu De could save a few Wen for them to survive.But such a little thing, in Wu De's opinion, is not even enough to plug the gap between the teeth... That family is so ignorant that they are reluctant to dedicate such a little thing to the prince. Well?Wu De drew his sword on the spot and sent the whole family to the underworld.

After eating and drinking enough, and the night was coming, Wu De scolded a few goddamn gods, and then scolded the damn Wei dog for a while, before he got on his mount and ordered the whole army to move out.

The elite soldiers of Qianqi were full of food and drink, galloped along the official road on the wide snow field, and soon passed the boundary of Huang County. Go to the pre-appointed place, so that you can rest and keep warm on the spot.After all, it was a snowy day, and the snow splashed by the horse's hooves stuck to the armor, or got into the clothes along the neck. It was cold and wet, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, there was a tragic horse cry in front of him, followed by a soldier's scream. Wu De thought it was a soldier's horse blundering, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but immediately afterwards, he heard several more screams Shouting, he couldn't help asking loudly: "What happened to the front team?"

The messenger went forward to investigate, and came back not long after, and reported: "There is a huge hole on the road, but it was just covered by snow. The brothers who walked in front didn't find it, so they got stuck in it."

"How many people were trapped?" Wu De asked.

The messenger said: "Not many, only a dozen or so people, the brothers behind have already bypassed."

"Okay, let the spies who cleared the way ahead search carefully." After Wu De finished speaking, he ordered to move on.

A group of people rode forward again, but this time the speed was a little slower. After walking for a long time, nothing happened. Seeing that the sky was almost completely dark, under the reflection of the snow, they could still vaguely see After clearing the road and the shadows, Wu De was shivering from the cold of the armor on his body. He waved his whip and ordered to march faster.

About half a cup of tea later, a large number of horses neighed suddenly in front, and then the messenger ran back and said to Wu De: "Qi deputy commander, I found a lot of tripping ropes buried in the snow on the road ahead. Many horses were frightened, soldiers were thrown off their horses and wounded..."

"Damn!" Wu De scolded angrily. He didn't expect someone to be more vicious than him. There are no mountains or valleys here. It's an official road with a wide view. If you bury a horse rope here, you actually engage in an ambush in such a place?Also really enough ideas.

On the one hand, it put the soldiers on alert, and on the other hand, it was convenient for people to take back the ropes, but then, more tragic cries began one after another, and even the orderly came over limping: "Vice commander, not only is there a rope in front of you, but in the snow They were even buried with barbed wire."

Caltrops are spiked concealed weapons, commonly known as barbed wire, with triangles and four corners. No matter how they are scattered on the ground, there will always be a spike facing upwards.

Hearing the screams coming from the front from time to time, Wu De knew that he had encountered a difficult problem - the snow was deep to the feet, buried with barbed wire, and the weather was like this, even if he was beaten It's not clean to pick a lantern!

Vaguely, Wu De felt that the opponent must be a veteran leader of the army, and ordinary junior officers do not have the ability to predict the enemy's opportunities.But he changed his mind and thought again, how could the Bai family collude with the generals in the army because they were only one-time merchants?Besides, Donglai Linhai has no other forces to harass except the bandits, and for so many years, the previous county guards have been eaten to death by the prince, and no one dared to tell the court that Donglai bandits are rampant. Therefore, the whole Dongnae has no generals in the garrison at all.

So, who is this yet-to-be-revealed opponent?Is that the young female captain?

After taking away the caltrops, the enemy hadn't appeared yet. Wu De roughly counted and found that nearly two hundred horses were damaged by his men, and more than a hundred soldiers were injured.Although they were only minor injuries, in this icy and snowy land, they would double their impact on combat power.

Is it going forward?Or back off?

Wu De thought for a while and hesitated for a while, thinking of Wei Dagou's lowly appearance who likes to sue behind his back, he felt that instead of retreating and being beheaded by the prince, it would be better to fight hard, maybe there is still a chance of victory.

So, the group of people held the crossbow arrows tightly in their hands, and moved forward in all directions, slower than infantry, but after walking for a long time, there were screams again.

Oh shit!Does caltrop not cost money?I don't believe that you can be buried all the way to the county seat of Huang County!

Startled for a while and stopped for a while, he didn't see his opponent alive or dead, he didn't even see his shadow, Wu De was so angry that he couldn't help yelling, counting up from the opponent's 28 generations of ancestors, he didn't let him go.

He ordered people to light the torches, put away the caltrops again, and before he gave the order to move on, he heard the messenger come back on horseback, and said joyfully, "Master Commander, we have found the enemy ahead!"

Wu De immediately asked: "How many enemies are there?"

The messenger replied: "Not many, probably more than thirty people!"

"Okay!" Wu De thought for a while. According to the information, the female captain's force is only 700 people. Even if Bai Su's part is added, it should not exceed [-] people. No wonder they are making small moves all the way. , It turned out that it was because of insufficient troops and wanted to delay time.

After figuring this out, Wu De immediately laughed, and ordered: "Chasing! I want to see which grandson dares to play tricks in front of me."

Even if there were fifty fast horses chasing him, it took only half a cup of tea. The chasing cavalry saw some men in leather armor and carrying wooden shields fleeing forward. Huo Huo grasped the bow, like herding sheep on the grassland, trying to gather these people together.

However, soon, they were stunned, because when they got closer, they realized that there was a large group of black cavalry standing silently not far in front of them.

This group of cavalrymen had their heads in their mouths, their bridle mouths, their hooves were still wrapped in thick sackcloth, and their ring-headed sabers were tightly tied to their right wrists in order to prevent them from falling out during the battle. One.

The moment the elite soldiers of the Jiaodong Palace saw each other, the other party had already rushed towards them on horseback. When they met each other, the light of the knife slashed across their necks.

The elite cavalry of Jiaodong Palace are all wearing half-body iron armor. Ordinary weapons can't do harm to their bodies at all. The only weakness is their necks, because their helmets don't have masks and neck protection.

However, it is also very difficult for the cavalry of our own side to precisely hit the opponent's neck in the high-speed collision of the horse battle between the two sides, including Yan Lingge herself, she did not expect such a trick Plans work.

When Wu De heard the sound of rolling hooves ahead, he knew that the fifty cavalry he had sent out were finished, and before he could give an order in his mind whether to fight or retreat, the cavalry in front had already rushed in front of him, but at this moment, Wu De The soldiers who had been on guard before had just put down their crossbows and were recovering their strength on horseback.

With a whistling sound, the enemy came like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides met with swords. The soldiers in the front row hardly resisted, and all of them were slaughtered. When the soldiers behind reacted, the opponent had already retreated away.

Don't be greedy for merit, don't advance rashly, advance like a gust of wind, retreat like a thunder, and won the cavalry battle formation attack to decide!

"Where are the cavalrymen coming out..." Wu De thought of this idea, and nearly a hundred soldiers in front of him fell down from the horseback like straw that had been cut off.

Seeing such a scene, Wu De only felt that he had already guessed the other party's intentions - as long as he did not retreat, what was waiting for him in front and on the road would be endless tripping ropes and barbed wire, and he would be able to pick up endless bridles at any time. possible sneak attack.

Obviously, the opponent's tactic has two purposes.One is to make it difficult for him to move an inch and force him to quit Huang County.The second is to consume his troops bit by bit in this way, as if he was executed Ling Chi.

However, the opponent's tactics are not completely without flaws. Wu Dejing thought for a while, and then ordered the whole army to charge and use the rest of his troops to crush - because this is the official road, although it is wide, the place is always open. Limited, since the opponent has chosen such an insidious method, it means that the number of troops the opponent can ambush here will not be too many. If it exceeds [-] cavalry, the opponent will not be able to form a formation, and it is not suitable to use cavalry for a surprise attack.

Wu De's thinking is not without reason. If it is a normal large-scale cavalry confronting the battlefield, he will press all the troops on the battlefield. There is no pressure to win with more and less. The rationality of calm judgment ignores the terrain of the battle at this time - the official road.

When the vanguard of Wu De's soldiers rushed out, his front line was already stretched very long, like a winding snake, laid out along the official road. If an ambush soldier came out from the middle at this time, it would be Cut off the snake's head and tail.

After all, Wu De deserves to be the deputy commander of the palace. He quickly realized this problem and asked the cavalry in the middle to replace them with round shields and spears, carefully guarding against the ambushes on both sides of the official road.

Chu Changrou took the people from the third department to hide on both sides of the official road, but they didn't hide in the mountains and enter the forest in the forest like the usual ambush, but dug sinkholes on both sides of the road, and then buried the above The solid wooden boards are covered with soil and snow, leaving a small hole for ventilation and observation of the road surface.

Therefore, when Wu De guarded against the woods on both sides, he didn't know that he was in an ambush.

At this moment, there was a sudden scream of fighting from behind the formation, and after half a cup of tea, the blood-stained passer-by ordered to call over: "Command...Master Commander, behind...there is an ambush army..."

"What... what?!!!"

The orderer told the situation again, and Wu De immediately turned pale—there were forests on the left and right, and there were ambushes in front and back, which would press his line little by little, and once the cavalry was captured If the formation is compressed and the mobility and impact ability are lost, they can only be slaughtered by others.

Wu De could imagine that the woods on the left and right must be full of tripping ropes. If he ordered the army to enter the forest, he would die even worse.

How could this be? ?

Why is this so? ?

How could he be defeated to such an extent with a thousand elite soldiers?

Wu De couldn't figure it out, and Yan Lingge wouldn't give him time to figure it out. She straddled a handsome horse, held the rein in her left hand, and Changshuo in her right hand. Piercing into the hinterland of the formation of elite soldiers in the palace, there is no enemy anywhere.

As a sharp whistle sounded, Chu Rou crawled out of the pit with the soldiers of the third division, and followed Yan Lingge's cavalry to pick up the missed swords. When Chu Rou followed and killed the front, she realized that the battle was over Finish.

Before this, Chu Rou went through two battles of a certain scale, one against Qinglongzhai and one against Blackbeard, but she had the impression of fighting, so she set up a formation, then charged forward, and then After that is victory.

But today, Yan Lingge showed her a special battle. She kept recalling the details of the battle in her heart, thinking that if she brought a thousand guards, she would fight against Yan Lingge with the same strength. Against each other, can I last a little longer than this elite army of the palace?

It was the first time for Chu Rou to see a formal cavalry confrontation, and she immediately lost interest in the infantry of the Guards Army. Looking at the wild horses scurrying across the field, she only felt hot in her heart, and she also had the idea of ​​forming a cavalry .

Yan Lingge looked back at the battlefield behind him, and then at the cavalrymen under him, his face sank like water - only she knew how difficult this victory was.Because, even under her various calculations, her subordinates still suffered more than [-]% damage! .

Such a high number of casualties clearly tells everyone that although it can make up for or cover up some of its own shortcomings, whether it is strategy or tactics, there is still no absolute victory in the face of absolute strength.

However, at this moment, neither Yan Lingge nor Chu Rou, nor Bai Su nor Chuning, had any idea of ​​how cruel and tragic the upcoming battle would be.

The author has something to say: the victory of a war will include many factors.

Overall strategy

Tactics that make the difference

As well as the equipment and morale that affect the strength of the army.

Equipment and morale are important, but in some cases, strategy and tactics can make up for the lack of this aspect.
