Chapter 988

PS: it's been five o'clock for three consecutive days - I don't need to say anything more. I think I'm a great man... It's better to make up for it.

Xiahou Baichuan has been observing the enemy's defense by the Qinhe river for several days in a row. At first, the defense of the high army on the other side was just so, just in line with the rules. The next day I thought of something and went to see it. I found that there were some ways to deploy defense. On the third day, I found that there was no flaw in Zheng Ziyu's defense.

On the fourth day, Fang Xie personally went to the river.

"My subordinates are guilty."

Seeing Fang Xie coming, Xia Hou Baichuan knelt down on one knee and saluted: "the Lord ordered to cross the river quickly, but his subordinates didn't fight for several days, which failed to live up to the Lord's trust."

"Reason"

Fang Xie went to the river. A Xiaoqi school immediately moved a chair behind Fang Xie. Fang Xie threw off his cloak and sat down in the chair, waiting for the answer of Xia Hou Baichuan.

"No flaws"

Xia Hou Baichuan said his observation these days, bowed to one side and dared not say anything. Before entering the army, Fang Xie had ordered to cross the river quickly. Now the rain will come down in this season. Once the rain rises, it will be much more difficult to cross the river than now.

"No flaw?"

Fang Xie repeated it, then asked to come over and look at the other side.

"In such a war, nothing can be done. If the other party has no flaws, they can only attack directly. The enemy defends our attack and has no warship support. Once the war starts, it will be tragic. My subordinates are worried that there will be too many deaths and injuries..."

"How long do you need?"

Fang Xie asked.

"Two days"

Xia Hou Baichuan raised his head and said, "please give my subordinates two more days. If I can't think of a way to cross the river in two days, my subordinates are willing to engage in military justice."

"OK, I'll give you three more days."

Fang Xie stood up and threw the Qianli eye to the guard: "Hundreds of thousands of troops are watching behind you. You know how much food, grass and baggage you will consume in one day. You have led the army for many years. Even if you transport grain from Liyin warehouse, there will be seven or eight kilograms of grain left in the army. If you transport grain from the southwest of Jiangnan, there will be half of the ten kilograms of grain left. I know you have a heavy burden as a pioneer general, but since you can pick it up, you have to take care of it Steady. "

"Here!"

Xia Hou Baichuan nodded heavily: "my subordinates will come up with a strategy to break the enemy within three days!"

Fang Xie gave a sound and turned away without saying anything.

After returning to the camp, Fang Xie went into the tent and flashed his cloak aside. Dugu Wenxiu happened to come to him for instructions. Seeing Fang Xie's face was different, he immediately realized that it must be the pioneer army.

"Lord, what is the difficulty of general Xia Hou?"

Dugu Wenxiu asked.

"He was afraid of too many casualties and dared not go to war."

Fang Xie sighed: "but what Zheng Ziyu wants is that he is too late to start a war! I just came back from the side of the Qinhe river. The river is at least a few meters wider than a few days ago. If there is no accident, it is raining in the upstream. If we delay for some more days, Zheng Ziyu doesn't even have to set up defense on the bank."

Dugu Wenxiu said: "In fact, Xia Hou is also for the sake of the Lord... The Qinhe River is more than a mile away. At this distance, the power of artillery can push back the enemy on the bank at most. However, the enemy's crossbow and stone throwing cart can easily intercept half the team walking to the river, and Zheng Ziyu takes advantage of the land... Unless Zheng Ziyu's crossbow and stone throwing cart can not be used when the vanguard army crosses the river Otherwise, the casualties will not be too small. "

"Can't Zheng Ziyu's Crossbow be used?"

Fang Xie's eyes suddenly brightened: "come on, go and call the wine, sex and money."

……

……

Xiang qingniu walked into Fang Xie's tent with a piece of cooked meat in his mouth. He glanced at Fang Xie sitting behind the table and reading. Fang Xie threw half of the roast chicken in his hand. Fang Xie reached out and caught it, and then gave Xiang qingniu a hard look.

"What are you doing? You asked another fat man to borrow all the Jianghu guests from me. Are you looking for bad luck for Zheng Ziyu on the other side? I heard that Zheng Ziyu was resourceful. I'm afraid we would have let us sneak across the river at night. If my hands were damaged too much, what would you give back to me?"

"Chicken butt can't block your mouth?"

Fang Xie sat up straight and tore off a chicken wing: "the upstream has been flooded. If he can't cross the river in a few days, it will be difficult to think about it when the rain comes down."

"Do you want me to step on the other side?"

Xiang qingniu rubbed the greasy handle on the Taoist Zun's clothes and didn't care at all.

"If you could trample tens of thousands of troops in Zheng Ziyu alone in the past, I'd be happy. Gao Kaitai has been in Gyeonggi province for several years. There are so many big people in Chang'an city. Who has few experts? Wang Yiqu died or Yang Jian died easily. Gao Kaitai has been living well. There are few decent practitioners around him?"

"If you're afraid of anything, just fight."

Xiang qingniu said while picking his teeth.

"In fact, this is an unwritten rule. Things on the battlefield should be solved on the battlefield as much as possible. Since ancient times, overhaul walkers have rarely been involved in the war. Of course, it's not impossible. At the beginning, Luo Yao walked into pangba's camp alone and slaughtered the generals of pangba's army almost all over. He didn't follow the rules at all."

"You're going to kill it, too?"

Xiang qingniu said with a smile.

"I always feel that Gao Kaitai is waiting for me."

"Why?"

Xiang qingniu asked, "do you overestimate your opponent? There are few people who can threaten you in the Jianghu now. Old Niu's nose is OK, but he can be a saint in the western grassland. Zhang Yiyang can, but he can practice in seclusion in Wudang Mountain. Who else can? I can't think of it if I break my scalp. Unless..."

He took a look at Fang Xie: "unless it's Gao Kaitai, there are several great freedom in the army..."

Fang Xie frowned slightly. What Xiang qingniu said may not be impossible. Zheng Ziyu's platoon and formation is like a guard. The guard uses everything he can use and waits in the best formation. The attacking side will have a headache. The casualties of soldiers are too big for anyone to bear. At this time, practitioners are often needed to solve problems.

Zheng Ziyu can't imagine that there are many Jianghu people in the black flag army. Isn't he really on guard?

"Someone!"

Fang Xie immediately ordered: "let Chen Xiaoru take people to chase after wine, sex and wealth, and bring them all back!"

The Xiaoqi school outside the door knew that Fang Xie was really worried. He quickly sent someone to inform Chen Xiaoru.

"Why, do you really think there will be some freedom in Zheng Ziyu's army?"

Xiang qingniu looked at Fang Xie and said, "the Jianghu says that big is big, but small is not much. There are few famous experts in the Jianghu, and now more are dead than alive. If there were such experts in GaoKai Thai army who could threaten you, I guess he would have sent them to assassinate you instead of waiting..."

"Why did Gao Kaitai dare to bring only a few Pro guards to our army for negotiation?"

Fang Xie suddenly asked.

Xiang qingniu was stunned: "do you mean... What he took with him that day was an expert?"

Fang Xie nodded: "I was negligent. I didn't think Gao Kaitai had such masters around him from the beginning, so I didn't care about those Pro guards."

"Impossible."

Xiang qingniu shook his head: "even if you don't care, as long as such masters stand in front of you, you can naturally feel it. Those Pro guards are so close to you that you don't notice anything. Either they have some special way to hide their accomplishments, or they are not worth mentioning at all."

"Special way?"

Fang Xie thought carefully. In his memory, there seems to be no sect in the Jianghu that is good at such a way of cultivation.

"I suddenly thought of one..."

Xiang qingniu subconsciously looked at Fang Xie, and his face became a little ugly.

……

……

Jiuse Cai's body was a little unstable. If Chen Xiaoru hadn't helped him, he might have fallen down just now. There were at least four wounds on his chest, each deep. If his lightness skills were not good enough, maybe he would have died.

He didn't die, but he took more than 100 Jianghu people to the north of the Qin River. Only four people came back alive with him. Those four people were also seriously injured. If Chen Xiaoru didn't take people in time, maybe none of them would come back.

"My subordinates... Are not doing well. Please punish me, Lord."

Wine, color and wealth struggled to worship, but the movement on his body was painful. The blood was still flowing down his clothes, and soon dyed the place standing at his feet red. Fang Xie immediately got up and asked someone to hold wine and sex wealth to find a place to lie down. He tore open wine and sex wealth's clothes and saw that there were knife wounds on his chest at a glance.

Fang Xie personally cleaned up the wound for wine, sex and wealth, then used medicine, and asked the military doctor to take a needle and thread to sew the wound.

"What do I punish you for?"

Fang Xie shook his head while sewing the wound: "I thought too late to call you back. The fault lies not with you but with me. What's more, I really can't think of a reason to punish a person whose wound is on the front chest."

Wine, color and wealth were slightly stunned for a while, and didn't say anything more.

"When the subordinates arrived, wine, sex and wealth dragged behind to block the pursuers, so the four people survived..."

Chen Xiaoru said next to him.

Fang Xie nodded and seriously dealt with the wound of wine, sex and wealth: "this matter was originally arranged by me. I didn't think about it. After you set out, I suddenly woke up. It was too late to send someone to call you back. I remember your injuries."

Wine, sex and wealth were suddenly afraid.

The atmosphere he feared most appeared again.

What he feared most was not the bloody and cold atmosphere in the abandoned brick kiln, but the warmth of squatting at the back door to eat with Lao Liu when he first entered the fourth Prince's palace. For most of his life, he experienced the cold feeling, and the warmth was too little. So he was afraid that once this feeling appeared, it would soon disappear.

"If you get a knife, I'll scrape a hundred knives on Zheng Ziyu. If you get four knives, I'll kill Zheng Ziyu."

Fang Xie treated the wound of wine and sex wealth, got up and washed his hands: "Chen Xiaoru, take someone to send wine and sex wealth back to recuperate. When he fully recovers, find some thoughtful people to take care of him. Don't find women. This guy can't be trusted."

Wine, color and wealth couldn't help laughing, hiding a trace of tenderness in the corners of their eyes.

"Those swordsmen are very unusual."

He said: "I'm an old Jianghu man. I've seen many famous masters who use knives. But no one uses knives like those people. They use knives to the extreme. They're so simple and terrible. My subordinates can come back alive because they have trained their reaction when they almost died too many times before. My subordinates can't even avoid these four knives..."

"I see."

Fang Xie patted Jiuse CAI on the shoulder: "go back and recover. I'll deal with those swordsmen."

He looked at Xiang qingniu, who nodded and looked dignified.
