At that time, no matter life or death, in fact, it has become unimportant.
Zhao Kuangyin personally selected [-] cavalry, Gao Huaide fought with the team, and all the remaining infantry and archers were arranged in the local area, arranged in a Xuanwu formation, and prepared at any time in a defensive posture. It's okay to deal with it.
As for the commander of the Black Tortoise Formation, as well as the ownership of all other soldiers and horses, he handed it over to Zhao Pu this time.
This point shocked Zhao Kuangyi's heart; he knew that although Zhao Pu was a literati, once a literati wanted to be cruel, he was much stronger than anyone else!
In addition to Zhao Pu's identity and status in the army, although he has never led a soldier, there are many people who are willing to surrender to his banner, and even many senior generals were promoted by Zhao Pu himself.
Ruined!
It seems that my adaptability this time is all on the bottom line of my brother's heart. Otherwise, how could he hand over the control to an outsider at such an important moment!
Zhao Kuangyi was very kind in his heart, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
On the other hand, Zhao Pu on the side, although he didn't say a word, had a gloomy and deep expression on his face; he was not sure what the purpose of Zhao Kuangyin's handing over the power to him this time was.
Is it really just for fighting, or to monitor Zhao Kuangyi?
Or, there are other more important tasks, the situation is urgent, and the situation is urgent, he doesn't say anything, and it's too late to say that it can be obtained, but as Zhao Pu himself, he can't help but speculate.
This war, which concerns the future of their entire army and the trust relationship between the lord and brother, is about to begin.
Chapter 391
Li Ye stared at the night sky, he knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless time.
Confucius on the side had a rare smile on his face. He didn't expect that Li Ye would talk so much to Zhao Kuangyi today, which obviously didn't fit his personality.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen. The first is that Li Ye has really taken a fancy to the strength and power in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, but it is obviously impossible. Ants don't even count.
In fact, Confucius knew very well that Li Ye's power was exposed now. It seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was only a fraction, or even a tenth of it.
Because part of the path he walks is a combination of the etiquette of the mean.
Indeed, if you expose too much at one time, there will be no better results at that time, and you will be jealous because of your too much power. If you do that, you may even passively The other forces formed a group, and then attacked it in groups.
As the so-called ants kill elephants, although Daxia is powerful, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by ant nests, and the gnawing of those ants is also heart-wrenching.
There are two other possibilities. Li Ye didn't like Zhao Kuangyin's team at all. On the contrary, some people in his team got his approval, just like when he joined in the past. If it wasn't for his amazing talent, Li Ye How is it possible to discuss it face to face with yourself?
Thinking of the previous confrontation and questioning in the hall, Confucius felt his blood surging!
"Master."
While he was reminiscing, Li Ye suddenly opened his mouth, because he had already looked at the place where Zhao Kuangyin's troops were stationed in the distance, and a shining torch was already burning.
"Do you think it's superfluous for them to do this?"
There was a faint smile on the corner of Li Ye's mouth. He believed that Confucius had the same thoughts as him. It is said that if Zhao Kuangyin went to attack Dong Zhuo secretly, it would be most appropriate to do things carefully, which is the so-called silence and muffled voice. Big fortune.
In terms of their relatively weak strength, although the sneak attack is not open and aboveboard, it can guarantee the maximum benefit, which is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to know.
But now they want to fight openly, is it to expose themselves?Or could it be that their previous so-called refuge was just a means to appease Li Ye?
Not really, let alone whether Zhao Kuangyin has the guts, even if he has the guts, with Zhao Pu's character, how could he watch him come to die?
So there is only one representative for all of this, and Zhao Kuangyin is going to use his tricks!
At this moment, it is the middle of the night, the moonlight in the sky is dim, and most of the stars are difficult to observe. The grayness of the sky makes this era where there are not many lighting methods. The main basis for the number of opponents in the middle of the night is fire.
So this time, Zhao Kuangyin must also be bluffing, using more torches to pretend that his soldiers are strong, and he may not have thought about it. Through all this, Dong Zhuo will have some illusions, making him think that maybe the team that sneaked in also included Great Xia's army and so on.
Confucius smiled slightly. He did think so, but he still felt that Zhao Kuangyin couldn't do this to cause trouble for himself.
Now that there are so many torches, although they can give people an illusion from a distance, once they get close, under the light of these torches, they will make the soldiers a living target.
Li Ye shook his head slightly, and stood with his hands behind his back: "Master, you are a kind-hearted person after all, and you always refuse to say some things."
Why didn't Li Ye know that Confucius had another implication that he didn't name, that is, the torches Zhao Kuangyin carried could also be used as a fire to ignite Dong Zhuojun after a sneak attack.
Think about the fire, what kind of experience is it?
Confucius nodded slightly, but his expression was very serious: "Actually, think about it, although war is cruel and inevitable, but chopping with knives and axes is almost enough, and now we have to burn..."
Confucius was indeed a little bit unbearable, but Li Ye smiled lightly.
"War is like this, and so are major events in the world; we can't make a choice, and no one can make a decision."
The two of them were talking, when a gust of night wind blew, Xue Rengui in a white robe, and Yuan Chonghuan in armor unexpectedly came together.
"You are here?"
No need to look back, Li Ye knew it was the two of them, Yuan Chonghuan was full of righteousness and walked with noises, while Xue Rengui was refined and fierce, and the evil spirit on his body was soaring to the sky, which was breathtaking.
The two immediately bowed and said sincerely: "Yes, the last general will wait to come and bid farewell."
The battle is about to start, and they are going to their positions. Their subordinates have already prepared, and as generals, they have to stay here all the time because they are not sure whether Li Ye will have other requests.
Or there will be any changes in tactics.
The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, including Li Ye's use of troops. He will make various deployments anytime and anywhere, and the two of them are used to it.
With his back to the two, a faint smile appeared on Li Ye's face: "This time Zhao Kuangyin and others attacked Dong Zhuo, I believe their torches must be difficult to ignite the food and grass. Their task is to attract the attention of the enemy."
"The real thing about fire prevention depends on you."
In Li Ye's plan, after Zhao Kuangyin and others succeeded in their actions and attracted Dong Zhuojun's attention, Xue Rengui led troops to carry out a surprise attack and entangled that fellow Lu Bu. He knew that Xue Rengui was not Lu Bu's opponent.
But dealing with the moment is not a big problem.
And Yuan Chonghuan is the key to this battle. He wants to use the artillery of the Shenji Battalion to blow Dong Zhuo's camp to pieces. No matter how many people they have and how much preparation they have made, under the bombardment of the cannon, Li Ye believes that everything is unreal.
Who can withstand the impact of artillery?
In addition to the original firearms of Shenjiying, this time Li Ye also designed and manufactured a special shell for Yuan Chonghuan, which is hollow inside and explodes after being fired. In addition to people, the kerosene wrapped inside will also take advantage of the trend to ignite the fire left on the battlefield.
Under the support of shells and flames, Li Ye believed that Dong Jun would be defeated, even the strong and brave Lv Bu would turn around and run away. In the same sentence, although Lu Bu was brave and brutal, he was not an idiot. Knowing that there is no point in continuing to fight, can he continue to work hard?
Obviously this is absolutely impossible!
Chapter 392
On Zhao Kuangyin's side, the battle has already begun. Under his leadership, the whole army is attacking Dong Zhuo's side!
Under the open fire, their army looks so mighty, crazy, so terrifying and cold, the flag of Zhao is flying in the air, following the footsteps of the army, they have become stronger and stronger, as if these troops are enough to destroy anyone standing in front of them enemy!
But all of this, in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, he knows very well that everything is nothingness!
Really, nothing, because right now can they really kill Dong Zhuo?
No, Zhao Kuangyin knew in his heart that no matter what, they couldn't do it.
However, it is necessary to show such momentum now, if not... the consequences will be disastrous.
"dash forward!"
At this moment, they had arrived outside Dong Zhuo's army, and the opponent's army was already making corresponding countermeasures. Some cavalry rushed out of the barracks, and infantry were preparing crossbows.
Wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, a suit of beast-faced suanni ring armor inside, a red brocade robe with hundreds of flowers, flying cloud boots, a red rabbit, a dragon and a horse neighing, Lu Bu Zongbing has already killed, and behind him is a big knife Guo Si.
These two people, one in front and one behind, are rushing towards Zhao Kuangyin's side with countless soldiers.
"Well done! Well done!"
Zhao Kuangyin laughed, although he felt guilty, but on the surface he showed a look of indifference, and swung the dragon stick behind him. At that time, Gao Huaide ordered the whole army to serve with bows and crossbows!
This time Dong Zhuo had obviously made preparations in advance. When Lu Bu and others rushed out, Zhao Kuangyin knew that this time he was afraid that he would still have to die.
But he has no choice!
"White! Let's fight this time, brother!"
Gao Huaide nodded heavily. At this moment, he recalled the days when he and Zhao Kuangyin were fighting abroad. At that time, it was the same as today. They attacked the enemy like crazy. Although they also knew that what they did would not have any effect, everyone still went forward. Keep attacking, because no one wants to leave their lives here.
As Zhao Kuangyin's coiling dragon stick fell, a rain of arrows shot out like fireballs in the sky, and shot at the people who came by fiercely.
Faced with these fiery meteors, Lu Bu just laughed. What is this in his eyes?
He hadn't seen any terrible scenes before, but in his eyes, these things were nothing more than a swarm of wasps.
Dong Zhuo is in the army!
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were enjoying the sensory stimulation brought by this battle. This time Li Ru really made a contribution. If it weren't for him, Dong Zhuo would never have prepared so well.
Before Dong Zhuo allowed to add some water to the food according to Li Ru's request, he thought he could sit back and relax, but Li Ru asked him a new question.
Proper defense must be carried out!
At that time, Dong Zhuofei not only didn't think so, but was even a little annoyed. After all, he had made enough preparations, so why be so cautious?
But Li Ru was very persistent, even facing Dong Zhuo's majesty directly. According to Li Ru, all these preparations were very necessary for them, and the purpose of these preparations was just to ensure that there would be no accidents.
Dong Zhuo originally intended to fight Li Ye, but what he didn't expect, there was a problem with Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, Dong Zhuo was not sure whether they had chosen to surrender Li Ye, so Dong Zhuo devised two strategies.
The first is to continue to fight Li Ye. The bet is that Zhao Kuangyin is not so cowardly. As long as the two forces are not completely close, he still has a chance. The lack of weapons and soldiers can be used by Lu Bu. To make up for it, at any rate, the fighting power of this big Leng species is extraordinary.
But Li Ru insisted that preparations must be made early, otherwise the consequences will be endless!
In the end, Dong Zhuo agreed to Li Ru's proposal, but he had a request. If the preparation tonight was not used, then Li Ru would be imprisoned directly. Dong Zhuo hadn't figured out what to do with him in the future.
Of course, if Li Ru's idea came true, Dong Zhuo would obey him from now on.
Obviously this time Li Ru succeeded.
Seeing the fire and meteors flying around, Dong Zhuo was in a good mood. After all, wasn't it just for this moment that they had made so many preparations?
According to Li Ru's strategy, Dong Zhuo arranged for Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and other generals, large and small, to lead troops to station in all directions of the barracks, and at the same time let Lu Bu guard the center. Army, and as long as there is a war on one side, Lu Bu will immediately lead troops to support.
"Hahaha! Li Ru didn't expect that you guessed it right this time; not bad not bad."
"If you look at it this way, the subsequent war will become more interesting. This time, Zhao Kuangyin came to seek death by himself. We have already arranged it. Whoever kills Zhao Kuangyin will get three hundred horseshoe gold. This money... ...Hehe, guess whose hands it will fall into?"
Dong Zhuo was still in the mood to joke, but Li Ru was very anxious now, because he knew that with Zhao Kuangyin's ability, he would never dare to attack Dong Zhuo in a sneak attack, so someone must be instigating this sum.
As for who the instigator is, the line is very clear, it must be Li Ye!
In this battle, there were originally only three parties; Dong Zhuojun, Zhao Kuangyin's army, and Li Yejun.
As for the other princes, they all stood still, and no one took any action, or they were still doing what they were supposed to do, and had no intention or behavior to intervene here.
So the final explanation must be Li Ye!
It's such a big deal that people have cooperated with Li Ye. Can you still laugh?
