Confrontation between the two armies

Yin's army and Wanchang's army confronted each other in the wilderness between Muliang Town and Qiuye City.

Lu Xun looked at Yin's military crossbow, and then found that it was the crossbow that Lin Zhong had done, and modified it and added a little gunpowder to attack the city at night.

No wonder Muliang Town can be killed so quickly, and there is such a powerful bow and crossbow to make weapons. But when did there be such a crossbow in the arsenal of the Yin army? Until he went to the battlefield, he did not find anyone in the archers using this kind of crossbow. Lin Zhong did promise to help Yinjun make crossbows, but before he could fulfill his promise, he soon retired from the army because of injury and abandoned one arm. I haven't heard of anyone in the Yin army making this.

Su Qinghen knew that Lu Xun would go and return, and he would be curious about these crossbows. He didn't hide it from him, saying, "These crossbows are not difficult to do, but it's just a coincidence. Few people can think that they can still do this. Find some good craftsmen, study them carefully, and naturally know how to do it.

Lu Xun said, "Why have I been in the Yin army for so long that I don't know that you have secretly trained a group of archers who use this kind of crossbow?"

Su Qinghen sneered and said, "At that time, I thought you were just a military doctor, but no one could match the medical skills, so you were arrogant and angry. How can I put everything on the surface when I know there are spies in the army? The more secret nature, the better. It's not surprising that a small military doctor doesn't know this. How could what he wanted to do secretly be so easy for Lu Xun to find out? Fortunately, he was like a frightened bird at that time and felt that Xin Changfeng was a little irritable, so even Xin Changfeng hid it.

Lu Xun was severely choked by this, and then said, "You have more than 200,000 horses, and the other party is nearly 600,000 horses, and they are confronting in the wilderness. How are you going to fight?"

You should know that Wanchang's light cavalry is definitely not a joke. No matter how far the crossbow is, it will still stop for the cavalry. How can the small crossbow arrow stop the cavalry coming in like a flying swallow? At that point of range, the cavalry rushed over in a flash. If the archers did not run for their lives quickly, they would be trampled into mud by the opponent's horses by shooting two or three arrows. What else do you shoot?

Su Qinghen said, "Has Marshal Wang promoted the army doctor to general?"

Lu Xun was stunned and shook his head.

"Have you been appointed as a military engineer?"

Lu Xun continued to shake his head.

"Let you replace me to command the battle?"

Lu Xun shook his head harder.

"So you asked so many questions?"

Lu Xun continued to suffer. Su Qinghen is not so angry. He still likes to use him to shed anger. Isn't it enough for him to vent after killing so many people in war?

Su Qinghen became very happy to see Lu Xun's spleen. After all, this opportunity is less than once.

At this time, Wang Sili stepped into the stand and Shiran stepped forward: "Since he can't ask, can I ask?"

No matter how angry Su Qinghen is, he can't quarrel with the coach in front of more than 200,000 troops. Isn't this disturbing the army's heart? I had to bow my head obediently: "I don't know what Marshal Wang wants to know?"

Lu Xun continued to grit his teeth secretly, this guy who watches people serve dishes!

Wang Sili asked, "How on earth are you going to arrange troops?"

Su Qinghen has been thinking carefully: "The last general wants to combine Xuanxiang array and hundreds of birds array. Xin Changfeng is very familiar with the formations that the border troops often practice. The other party must have already figured out how to break the array, so I can't use those arrays. If you temporarily change to an unfamiliar formation of the border army, in case something goes wrong, no one can bear this responsibility. Xuanxiang array and Bainiao array are both formations often practiced by the border army. Everyone is familiar with them. If they are combined, it is not so easy to be broken by the other side. These two formations can confuse the enemy, and 100,000 soldiers and horses can also have the effect of 200,000 soldiers and horses, which will make Wanchang mistakenly think that our army is huge. We don't have many soldiers and vehicles. Xuanxiang Array can make the enemy misunderstand that we have many soldiers and vehicles. The Hundred Bird Array is very suitable for fighting in the plain and wilderness.

Wang Sili frowned and said, "But after all, that's an illusion. Now that the two armies are confronting each other and in the wilderness, the other party may have seen how many people you brought out at this moment."

Su Qinghen said, "You can dispatch the troops left in the south of Muliang Town. Isn't the people brought by the marshal just for war? All of us, coupled with the confusion of the formation, scared Wanchang's group of barbarians to death. After fighting with them for so many years, I found that they could only fight bravely and ignorant of any formation and strategy. How do they know that this is an illusion created by the formation? At that time, Xin Changfeng will be unlucky.

Lu Xun finally understood: "Is that what you mean by leaving part of the soldiers and horses? Just to make them misunderstand at this time? Once you set up the array, Xin Changfeng will certainly be able to see through your formation. At that time, he will definitely tell the commander of Wanchang that the number of Yin army is only half of what it seems, far worse than that of Wanchang Army. However, there is still a steady stream of Yin troops coming out to join the war. In fact, our people are on equal terms with them. When Wanchang's army was trapped in the array, it was confused by the array, thinking that the number of Yin's army was several times theirs. Xin Changfeng's words will inevitably be doubted by Wanchang.

Su Qinghen just smiled when he heard the words and was too lazy to talk to Lu Xun, a layman. He turned to Wang Sili and said, "The old border army and the new border army have been integrated for several months, so it should not be a problem to fight together."

Wang Sili nodded in agreement: "It must not be a problem."

Su Qinghen said again, "I heard that the light cavalry under Marshal Wang fought very bravely, no worse than the Wanchang barbarians. Why don't you pull them out to practice? At that time, heavy armored infantry defense and light cavalry attack, as long as we win this battle, we will see the final result - Wanchang has gone, and it must no longer be possible to entangled with the army threatening our Dayin border!"

Wang Sili immediately said that he would immediately go back to dispatch troops and generals.

Lu Xun was very guilty when he thought of the intention of misunderstanding Su Qinghen with Wang Sili before.

Su Qinghen saw Lu Xun standing beside him and was speechless for a long time, but his face was not clear what he was thinking and what he was feeling at the moment. Su Qinghen didn't bother to guess what was on his mind. Anyway, Wang Sili was no longer there, and he didn't bother to be polite with Lu Xun and said directly, "If only you could stretch your hand a little longer and do Qiuye City!" Lu Xun said last time that he could not do anything because of the heavy defense of the border. What a pity. After Su Qinghen had this idea, he was shocked that he still agreed with Lu Xun's previous cruel method. After all, long pain is not as good as short pain, and it is not necessary to control violence in exchange for long-term peace.

Lu Xun said, "I can't get in just because of the strict inspection. The main reason is that these two towns are too close to Dayin, and there is a slight difference, which can easily affect the people of Dayin. People in Qiuye City are infected with the plague, and the people in Muliang Town are also easily infected. If the people in Muliang Town are infected with the plague, the people on Dayin's side will also be infected. What's more, this kind of thing has been deployed for a long time, and then choose the right time and place to do it. Now the two armies are tense, and there is no time to do such a small move. The onset period is not so fast.

Su Qinghen also knew that it was impossible for Lu Xun to deploy this at this time, just a try with a fluke mentality. Hearing what he said, he immediately gave up the idea and asked, "Do you have any agents in the Wanchang barracks?" What did you say?" It's good to give him a little useful information. Although he can trust his own formation, what if there is a mistake? He can't afford to lose this battle.

Lu Xun said, "Yes, although the news back has nothing to do with Wanchang's strategy, it is also very important. I also thought about whether you should just tell the whole army about this, so as to cheer everyone up!"
