Adviser should be self-improvement

five months ago.

The three of them gathered together to discuss the strategy of fighting the King of Xiangyang.

Chu Huaiqing said: "We only have 35 people now, and according to the reports of the explorers, the King of Xiangyang can dispatch as many as 60 soldiers and horses. Although there are those things, the possibility of beheading the King of Xiangyang is still very small. And small."

Qin Ce looked at the map and pondered, "Why don't we send the people of Chang'an away and set up an ambush in the city?"

"No." Xie Qiongjiu said bluntly, "I have carefully considered the past achievements of the King of Xiangyang. He is very sensitive to war. If we did not go out of the city to fight, but led him in directly, he would just avoid the city gate. , Choose to attack the city, and then use the height of the city wall to observe the situation inside the city, no matter how good the disguise is, it is in vain."

Qin Ce rubbed his forehead, apparently also thought of this, and asked Xie Qiongjiu, "Does Military Master Xie have any clever strategies?"

"ambush."

Xie Qiongjiu drew a semicircle outside Chang'an City with his finger: "There are many rocks and shrubs here, which can be used as ambush shelters. There are only 15 people left in the city...well, maybe 20 people, There are 20 people left in ambush."

Chu Huaiqing asked in surprise, "20 people?"

"Didn't the King of Xiangyang still leave 10 people in Chang'an? I don't think these soldiers will have much respect for the King of Xiangyang."

Xie Qiongjiu raised his long and narrow eyebrows: "Even if you are young and belligerent, you will fight again and again for no reason. The King of Xiangyang is also a lord who has no intention of imperial power. Soldiers who cannot make achievements will only feel boring. If it goes on for a long time , no matter how respectful the heart will be, there will be very little left, not to mention that the King of Xiangyang is a tyrannical king who does not take human life seriously, and when working under him, the fear and panic will multiply, and normal people will all want to escape. "

"At that time, we will occupy Chang'an and kill the generals. The remaining Xiangyang soldiers only need to be persuaded by good talkers for many days, and most of them will join our lord. Except for the soldiers who may die in battle, our remaining troops should be in the 40 up and down."

"It's that simple?"

The number of people may be too many, but it is still not enough to fight against Xiangyang. If it is just such a strategy, Qin Ce feels a little inappropriate. He frowned and said: "Although this can temporarily prevent King Xiangyang from retreating, the lack of numbers has not changed. At most, it would be a lose-lose fight with the King of Xiangyang."

Qin Ce and the others are on the weak side. If they lost as much as King Xiangyang in the battle, they would have made a lot of money on the surface, but on the other hand, Qin Ce has to consider not only the battle with King Xiangyang, but also the future after the war Command and other matters, if you can't take this opportunity to kill the King of Xiangyang, the King of Xiangyang will come back in the future, and they haven't finished their rest, it will be more harm than good.

"Of course not." Xie Qiongjiu smiled leisurely, "I just said that the King of Xiangyang is a war prodigy, if there is an ambush, how could he not see it?"

"Then you are?"

"The King of Xiangyang is a smart man, but he doesn't think badly about us." Xie Qiongjiu smiled like a cunning thousand-year-old fox. Before uncovering the back trick, King Xiangyang will not take the lead in sending troops to attack these ambush people, on the contrary, he will set up a counter-ambush."

"Anti-ambush?"

"Behind the rocks and shrubs, there is a forest." Xie Poorjiu slid his finger to a lush place printed on the map, "Here is also a good place to ambush, but we can't use it because it is far away from Chang'an, and we There are not enough soldiers and horses, and timely support is needed from the ambush, and if the King of Xiangyang can use it, he will definitely use it."

Chu Huaiqing looked gravely: "A cage within a cage?"

"Of course." Xie Qiongjiu laughed, "I estimate that he will choose 30 people to attack and 30 people to fight back."

"What shall we do after that?" Seeing Xie Qiongjiu's expression, Qin Ce knew that he had made up his mind.

Xie Qiongjiu looked at Chu Huaiqing, his eyebrows curved: "Is Huaiqing aware of what I mentioned to Huaiqing a few days ago?"

"It's already been made." Chu Huaiqing looked back at Xie Qiongjiu with a somewhat complicated gaze, as if looking at a monster.

Another thing I didn't know about.

Qin Ce glanced at Xie Qiongjiu inadvertently, and the other party immediately suppressed his smile, looked at the map, and looked serious.

The corner of Qin Ce's mouth twitched, and he turned to Chu Huaiqing and asked in harmony, "What is it?"

"Land. Thunder." Chu Huaiqing took a deep breath and explained, "The gunpowder that can be buried in the ground is the size of a hand. Once a person steps on the ground, it will explode. The power is not inferior to that made before. bomb."

Qin Ce narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Is there really such a fetish?"

If it is only this size, it will definitely not be as labor-intensive as a trap, and it will not be easily detected by others, and it will make the enemy hard to guard against!

"Who made our Huaiqing so powerful." Xie Qiongjiu praised his best friend with forgetfulness.

Chu Huaiqing: "..." You are even more powerful, I never thought of being a landmine.

Before it was invented, most people would not have thought that gunpowder could make such an ingenious mechanism, right?Poor wine, is this really the first time you see gunpowder? Didn’t you really wear it?

"At that time, landmines will be buried behind us."

Xie Qiongjiu slid his fingers to the corresponding position on the map, and continued to click: "The people in ambush took the lead in blocking the avenue, and the flames caused by the land and mines around them made it impossible for King Xiangyang to escape from the avenue or the woods. He's stuck in it."

"The amount of gunpowder that can be made within five months is limited, and the maximum loss is 20 people. If the King of Xiangyang wakes up in time and orders the remaining 10 people to unite with the previous 30 people, we will also be killed. No good."

"That's why King Xiangyang must not be cornered on the battlefield." Chu Huaiqing suddenly said with a bright light in his eyes.

"Of course." Xie Qiongjiu said, "Chang'an's trade extends in all directions. Except for the main road, there are two side roads leading to the territory of King Xiangyang. We need to force him into these two roads, and use the fork in the road to disperse them. The men and horses, captured the King of Xiangyang in one fell swoop."

Qin Ce frowned and said, "The mine can only be used once. If the King of Xiangyang thinks that there are ambushes on these two roads and insists on breaking through the forest, what should he do?"

"The king of Xiangyang has the courage to walk through the fire."

Xie Poongjiu laughed, the ending was lingering and lazy, with no deep meaning: "But he wants to ride a horse."

Chu Huaiqing suddenly understood.

"Horses will only follow their instinct of being afraid of fire, and choose places they think are safe to escape. What's more, there will be not only fire, but also shocks and explosions."

"The King of Xiangyang can firmly grasp people's hearts, but unfortunately he is not a beast tamer, so he cannot grasp the fear of these beasts."

"By that time, his end is over."

Looking at this purgatory-like scene, the calm and self-possessed King of Xiangyang lost his mind for a moment, and at this moment of loss of mind, Qin Ce attacked again.

The rustling wind rang in his ears, and King Xiangyang's eyes sharpened, but the knife he raised in his hand was a step too slow, and was directly picked away by the dexterous spear like a long snake.

The saber was hit mid-air and kept spinning. The light of the saber reflected Qin Ce's murderous eyes. King Xiangyang gritted his teeth and turned sideways. A panicked soldier just happened to rush in beside him. With a movement of his eyes, he grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the saber, and in one fell swoop Block Qin Ce's offensive.

The soldier yelled 'Ah', and the tiger's mouth was shattered. The King of Xiangyang threw the soldier aside and took the sword that fell from the other side. The bullet pierced through the palm of King Xiangyang, blasting out bloody splinters.

Cheers erupted on the city wall, and the guards holding guns and shooting were overjoyed, but King Xiangyang seemed to be frozen on the spot. The next moment he slowly raised his hand, aiming at the huge bloody hole in it, confused The black pupils condensed sharply.

"My lord—!"

Li Ken shouted: "I can't see what they are using at all, let's retreat!"

The king of Xiangyang came back to his senses, and the horse general avoided Qin Ce's next blow, and shouted, "Where is Gongsun Ji!?"

"Report to the prince, Mr. Gongsun is fine!"

"The whole army retreats—!" There was no more hesitation.

But the avenue was blocked by Chang'an's army and horses. Even if the King of Xiangyang wanted to retreat in this fierce battle, there was no way out. What's more, Qin Ce was still creating danger and was going to push the King of Xiangyang into a dead end. .

In the nick of time, Qian Ken seemed to have discovered it, and looked at the detour in surprise: "My lord! There is a road here!"

With just one glance, the King of Xiangyang rejected this retreat, and shouted in a deep voice, "Go to the woods—!"

"But my lord—"

Seeing the raging fire and rising gunpowder smoke on the edge of the woods, Qianqian's eyes showed hesitation.

"go!"

Li Ken gritted his teeth and gave an order: "The whole army is there, go to the woods—!"

The horn sounded, and the scattered Xiangyang army immediately gathered together and rushed towards the woods. However, at the moment when King Xiangyang's horse was about to burst out of the flames, a loud noise exploded beside King Xiangyang.

"My lord—!" Gongsun Ji poked his head out, his eyes cracked.

"......nothing!"

The horse staggered a few steps, and the king of Xiangyang raised his head, and there seemed to be bright red dripping from his temples. After being greatly impacted, he let out a painful hiss and ran hysterically towards one of the two roads.

King Xiangyang couldn't stop pulling the reins, but the horses under him seemed to be possessed by a demon, and they didn't listen to his orders at all, and just ran wildly. Seeing King Xiangyang turning the road, the people behind him hurriedly followed.

The usually calm eyes are now filled with anger, and the King of Xiangyang cursed angrily, holding the blade high in his hand, and was about to chop off the horse's head, but at the last moment, the King of Xiangyang stopped for some reason , The knife was slowly lowered in the injured hand, and fell to the ground where he was flying.

The king of Xiangyang grabbed the rein with one hand, and there seemed to be a muffled coughing sound coming from his chest. He raised his eyes and looked straight at the road ahead, and laughed out of nowhere, neither sad nor desolate, just a hearty laugh .

Only half of the Xiangyang army fled into that road, and the rest were stopped by the Chang'an army, but the entrance to the road was also blocked by a sea of ​​people. Seeing that King Xiangyang had already fled into that road, Cao Yuan called out Chu Huaiqing, who faced the battlefield without saying a word for a long time: "Mr. Chu, the side of Mr. Xie, who is fleeing from King Xiangyang, shall we not go to support?"

Chu Huaiqing regained consciousness in an instant, and then looked at another mountain peak. Xie Qiongjiu and others had already left, only the soldiers who dropped the bomb remained. : "Let's go, we must capture King Xiangyang today!"

Everyone responded loudly: "Yes!"

Not long after the war started, Xie Qiongjiu's side.

"Prosperous."

"The end is here!"

"Lead 3000 people and walk the Shiyan trail to the peak. When the king of Xiangyang walks into it and pushes down the rocks that have been prepared on the top, he will be killed forty percent."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Zeng Ping."

"The end is here!"

"Lead 2000 people, take a shortcut to Huai'en Lake, cut off the thorny road, and lay an ambush in the bushes. When Xiangyang King's soldiers and horses arrive, a fire will be ignited from it, and half of his troops will be killed."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Li Yuexiong."

"The end is here!"

"After the Thorn Road, there is an important pass. If you lead 5000 people, you will surely intercept all the remaining soldiers and horses of King Xiangyang and drive them into it!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Billows of dust rose from the peak, and the three generals led their troops away. The soldiers asked, "Mr. Xie, should we escort you back to the city first?"

Xie Qiongjiu glanced at another mountain peak that was motionless, and sighed and felt sorry for his friend's mood at the moment.

When making those 'artifacts', Xie Qiongjiu didn't fail to notice Chu Huaiqing's heavy heart. It's like a group of people fighting with bare hands. How they fight depends on their own strength. Given a sharp weapon, others can no longer rely on strength to win.

The person who gets the murder weapon may also win. He can beat others to the ground with his fists, beat them half to death, or even kill them, but with the murder weapon, those people can only die.

What's more, what the fire and medicine brought all over the sky is nothing but bones.

— But this is war.

Considering the worst case scenario, Chu Huaiqing missed the good opportunity to kill the King of Xiangyang, Xie Qiongjiu did not show the slightest emotion of blame, and immediately pulled the horse and turned around: "No, hurry to Longji Pass with me."

"Yes!"

Xie Qiongjiu was about to leave when his eyes suddenly changed, he bent his back, covered his lips with his hand, and coughed heart-piercingly.

A maroon color dripped down the pale to transparent fingers and fell into the dust.

"Mr. Xie!" The soldier looked at Xie Poongjiu who was about to cough up his heart and lungs in fear, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you go back first!"

"Ahem... Are you a military adviser, or am I a military adviser?"

"But Mr. Xie, Mr. Chu explained—"

Xie Qiongjiu wiped off the blood, and ordered coldly: "I say go!"

The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "...Yes!"
