Chapter 483: Loess High Slope

The Royal Corps is Iron Eagle.

He also held a bamboo whip and pointed to the map and said: "The bright yellow mark represents the Imperial Army, the bronze mark represents the Iron Armor Army, the orange represents the Shenwu Army, the purple represents the Tiger Army, and the black represents the Jingshan Army." He paused and said: "Now the second army of the Imperial Army has reached the northern foot of Qishan Mountain and set up camp there. The other three armies did not travel with him. Hu Ben went to the south of Mati Mountain, the Iron Armor was in the southwest of Mati Mountain, and the Jingshan Army was in the east of Mati Mountain. None of the three armies had left the camp, so they could only get a rough location."

When he heard Tieying say, "The three armies did not go to Qishan," Emperor Zhaowu's pupils contracted. If Li Hun was not on the side, he would have had an attack on the spot.

In fact, the attack is useless, because from now on, the entire military exercise battlefield is allowed to go out and not enter. Even if he has a big opinion, the people inside will not know.

But he could get angry at himself. Emperor Zhaowu stood up with a bad expression, left the dragon throne that had not yet sat on the hot dragon throne, and walked out of the big tent.

Seeing his departure with a sneer, Li Hun snorted softly, "A soldier, a nest of bears..." After that, he also got up and left.

They will return to the tent at this time of the next day to listen to the latest battle situation.

Qin Lei and his black-armored cavalry have entered the war zone for seven days. In the past seven days, the team has been marching on the vast land with gullies in the northwest, with no sight of the loess and no other colors.

After staying in this loess world for a long time, the entire team turned yellow. The soldiers had a thick layer of loess on their black coats, their faces were yellow as if they were malnourished, and even their eyebrows and beards were full of earthiness.

The team was ordered to hide under the ridge, and Qin Lei and Xu Tian climbed up to look at it.

Take out a piece of silk cloth from your arms and carefully wipe the crystal lens. Qin Lei gathered the double-tube thousand-mile mirror in front of you and looked away. But he saw a vertically choked mountain in the west, just like an isolated island in the ocean.

"There is...Mati Mountain?" Qin Lei asked with a loud voice.

Licking the cracked lips, Xu Tian shook his head and said, "No, Mati Mountain still has to go west. There is Wowo Mountain, and the mountains here are the same, so it is hard to recognize."

"Why did you stop here?" Qin Lei asked softly.

"Then it will be the scope of the other party's scout's activities." Xu Tian replied in a low voice: "It will be discovered."

Qin Lei nodded, pointed to the mountain towers and mountain beams across the plain and said, "You can use these things." After that, he turned over and slipped down the mountain beams, and Xu Tian also slipped down.

The three major landforms of Loess Yuan, Mai and Liang have created the shape of the Loess High Slope. The original is also called the Yuan, as the name suggests, the Loess Plain is also extremely wide and flat, and is the best place for cavalry to fight... However, because the loess soil is loose,

It is extremely susceptible to erosion by flowing water, and is pulled into valleys by the water flow, which divides long plateaus, called "mountain ridges". At this moment, Qin Lei and others are invisible, a deep valley under the ridge. If the beam is cut by the valley, scattered and isolated, and has a steamed bun-shaped hilly hilly landform, it is "mountain". The hills and beams intersect, creating an extremely complex loess hilly landform.

Qin Lei planned to use this to do some work.

"Map!" As soon as he hit the ground, Qin Lei said to Shi Gan: "It's from Area 37."

Shi Gan quickly pulled out a bamboo tube with the words "Three Seven" from the horse's back, unscrewed the cover, and took out the map inside.

After spreading it out, it was a layered colored topographic map near Mati Mountain. Seeing the landform he had just seen, it was displayed on the map with no mistakes. Qin Lei praised it and said to Xu Tian: "I did a good job, I have put in really hard work."

Xu Tian grinned, his teeth made his black face look white. This was last winter, when he took his brothers from the scout camp to travel all over the northwest, even on New Year's Eve, he spent New Year's Eve on the loess plateau, which achieved today's results.

Using a charcoal pen to outline the map a few times, Qin Lei Qingqing said with his throat: "Along this path, we can get close to two miles east of Mati Shandong, and then leave from the west after launching an attack while the night is dark." As he said, he used a charcoal pen to gesture: "After leaving, go west and reassemble in the Aries River area."

After saying that, he put the charcoal pen on the picture and said, "Remember our principles, harassment is the main priority, remember not to fight." He smiled and said, "This kind of attack will be carried out at least five times. Gu did not expect that he would become 'other' in the end."

Bo Shang Saiyang, who was honest and obedient, laughed and said, "Uncle, I will accompany you then." His battalion did not get the opportunity to go out this time because he participated in the last military exercise... After all, in this kind of military exercise, the most important thing is to let the team charge and train. However, in order to better train officers, in addition to the necessary remaining officers, the squadron leader of the Jingshan Army was dispatched to participate in the military exercise.

Qin Lei laughed and said, "You can't use a mace this time, as your power is much smaller. Don't be dragged on the card when you charge for the first time like last time."

Bo Shang Saiyang smiled sly and said, "I hide the small card close to my body. If I don't beat me down completely, no one can grab it." He learned from the pain when he heard it.

After the two of them had a laugh, Shi Gan said in a deep voice: "Prince, do you need to notify other teams?"

Shaking his head, Qin Lei smiled and said, "No need, they are all tried and tested generals. You can make your own judgment, it's better not to interfere." As he said that, he pulled over a blanket and closed his eyes and said, "Take a quick time to rest and act after dark."

Shi Gan went to convey the order, Xu Tian went to arrange for the scout to guard... Bo Shang Sai Yang fell asleep with a wooden stick.

The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is very large, which can make people truly "wear a fur coat in the morning and wear gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelons around the stove." Shortly after the sun sets, Qin Lei woke up by the cold. He looked at the pure blue and black sky and muttered softly: "What the hell is the weather?"

Then he heard Shi Gan chuckling softly, "Your Majesty is awake?" He said, handing him a water bag and food bag and asked him to have dinner.

After taking the two bags, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "How is this eating? It's simply a pain." The so-called "Sole Yanzhi of the Desert" is not a joke. No one dares to bury a pot here to cook, so he can only do it like this.

Shi Gan whispered softly when he heard this: "Why...... Is it a fight ration? That's so good."

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "That thing is too rare, so let's keep it for critical moments." As he said, he looked around and said, "Besides, everyone eats this, how can I make it special?" 'In peacetime, privilege means being looked up to others; in wartime, privilege means being hostile.' This is one of Qin Lei's rules of conduct.

He stopped talking, pulled out the plug of the water bag, gently lifted it up, letting the clear water in the bag flow into his mouth, moistening his throat that was about to smoke.

Sighing comfortably, he untied the rope from the mouth of the grain bag and scooped a small scoop with the gourd ladle inside.

After looking at the yellow-green grain powder, Qin Lei couldn't help swallowing dryly. He raised his head and closed his eyes, poured the things in the scoop into his mouth, and his mouth suddenly felt like it was covered with cement, and it was very difficult to breathe... This thing was too sucking water, and he could suck all the spit in his mouth. However, he still didn't drink water, and he bulged his eyes and looked hard until he couldn't hold it up, so he poured some water into his mouth to relieve the drought in his mouth.

Then continue to take out the strength to eat milk and swallow it. When you can't stand it, pour a little water. If this happens three times, you can finish a meal.

Everything is to save water!

This is really no way to do this, because the loess plateau is still in the dry season at this time, and it is difficult to find any water within a radius of dozens or hundreds of miles. The ditches marked a few months ago have dried up, and this situation will last for a long time... Anyway, Qin Lei and the others can't wait for the rainy season.

It is not said that there is no water nearby, for example, there is groundwater on Mati Mountain, but it is also the old nest of the Taiwei Army. The only source of water is the Taiwei Army's unyielding magic weapon to defeat the enemy. This is also an important reason why the eldest prince chose to entrench on this loess plateau with a radius of nearly 200 miles instead of going south to the humid area of ​​Qishan...

When Qin Lei discovered that the Taiwei Army used this trick to "the tiger cannot come out of the cave", he knew that he had encountered a strong enemy. The opponent's mind was extremely clear. He knew that the Qin-Qi battle was about to come, and Emperor Zhaowu's desire for victory was even more than that of the Taiwei Lord. The reason was very simple. If there was no Luo Shizi's Imperial Guard, the one who commanded the Imperial Guard would be the Taiwei Lord. Therefore, if the emperor wanted to seize the power to command the Imperial Guard, he had to obtain the title of Imperial Guard.

Therefore, the Taiwei Army does not need to attack. Just squat on the Horseshoe Mountain, quietly taste the sweet spring water, and wait for the dry and smokey opponent to appear.

The military strategy says: "If you move, you will change; if you don't move, you will not change; if you don't change, you will respond to all changes with the unchanging conditions, and seek victory in a steady manner."

After gritting his teeth and eating, Qin Lei coughed hard a few times, shook his water capsule and said, "I can drink for three more days."

"In addition to the spare ones, there is still eight days of water in total." Shi Gan said softly.

"In other words, we still have six days." Qin Lei frowned slightly and said in a rough voice: "We must drive the other party out of the mouse hole within this period of time."

A quarter of an hour later, the black-armored cavalry were ready to go, holding people and horses tied their mouths, and advancing along the winding valley. There was no need for mobilization... Qin Lei walked in the front, and this was the best mobilization.

Tonight, the moon is shining with stars, and there is no need to hang a lantern. When I touched the mountain tower quietly, Qin Lei raised his hand. Shi Gan, who was following behind, quickly stopped and raised his hand. The same movement was passed back without any mistake. After a while, the entire team stopped.

Carefully identifying the intermittent white ash on the hillside, which was the trace left by Xu Tian, ​​who was leading the way, Qin Lei carefully led the horse to go up and down. We have said that most of the hillsides here are straight up and down, and it is not easy to find a road that allows war horses to go up and down.

After a difficult crawl, Qin Lei's eyes suddenly opened up, and the horsesti Mountain, which were dotted with lights, was finally in sight.

Squeezing the slight excitement in his heart, he and Xu Tian who came to pick him up quietly to give up the opportunity to the team coming up behind him.

About a quarter of an hour later, about half of the team came up, and Xu Tian whispered: "The patrol team is coming soon." This is also considered a large battlefield maneuver. Without precise timing equipment and only the time is about time, the error is normal, and it is not normal if there is no error.

Without thinking, Qin Lei decisively sent an order: "The formation of a storm, charge towards Mati Mountain in ten breaths!" He then ordered to the hillside: "The team behind does not need to come up, just go to the receiving location to gather." After that, he turned over and joined the charge formation.

‘Five, four, three, two, one!’ Chen Qi, the leader, silently recited five numbers in his heart, then he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out first. The black-armored cavalry behind him also rode his horse and followed him.

After a brief start, the horse team began to run, faster and louder and louder. Before they could rush out of half a mile, they heard a sharp police whistle coming from the west, which seemed to have been discovered by the patrol team.

The whistle that rushed for a while, as if an inspiring order, made the black-armored cavalry faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, they rushed out another mile, and the Luzhai outside the camp in front of the mountain was clearly visible.

The sound of gongs suddenly sounded loudly in the camp. The Taiwei Army, who was waiting for the sword, rushed out of the camp, turned over the horses, lined up to meet the enemy, and moved in an orderly manner, obviously well-trained. They were not worried that the enemy would rush in immediately, because the three-story Luzhai was enough to slow the enemy and give themselves the opportunity to obtain the same charge speed.

Speaking of which, in this exercise that prohibits puncture injuries, sharp weapons and blunt weapons, rushing the opponent with speed becomes the only way to fight with the cavalry.

But the black-armored cavalry are not ordinary hooligans. They did not even cross Luzhai and shot into the camp outside... Although the military exercise stipulated that all arrows were not allowed to have arrows, there was no rule that they were not allowed to carry fireballs. General Qin, who was good at studying and using rules, naturally would not miss this loophole. While removing the arrows, he ordered the soldiers to tie oil cloths on the arrow shafts...

The long raised the torch to ignite the subordinates who were scattered in a fan shape. Each time one was lit, a rocket was shot into the army camp of the Taiwei Army... It was pitiful that the sky was dry and the things were dry...

Before the Taiwei Army could complete its formation, hundreds of rockets shot in. When they rushed out, the camp was already on fire, but it was illuminated everywhere, so there was no need to fire lanterns.

The black-armored cavalry was still shooting slowly. When the Taiwei Army approached, they slowly put away the crossbow arrows, and even had the pleasure of saying hello to the other party from afar, and then they roared away.

However, the group of cavalrymen in the Taiwei Army who were angry and angry could only slow down and watch the other party fleeing away... because the terrifying third-level deer village became a roadblock for them.

Waiting for the team to walk out carefully, they could only look at the smoke and dust rolled up in the west and curse, and talk about the cheap... Your Highness strictly ordered that the troops were not allowed to pursue excessively, and those who violated the orders would engage in military law.

After scolding for a while, no one replied. The cavalry stopped talking boredly, turned back to the camp and joined the fire-fighting team.

Fortunately, Your Highness had the foresight and set up a fire barrier in the tent, which even hid important facilities such as grain and grass warehouses in the deepest places. Therefore, although the fire was bad, it did not last long... It only burned one-fifth of the barracks.

After saving the fire, the dusty soldiers accumulated and returned to the camp to rest. The homeless ones were too lazy to set up a tent, so they squeezed together to sleep, wanting to survive the night before talking about it.

Even His Highness thought so.

But they obviously don't know Qin Lei's combat style... In addition to being particularly cool, his style is to exchange for the greatest victory at the smallest price. The unwillingness to be deceitful is his philosophy of military strategy. The simplest example, looking at his previous actions, he never takes action when the sun is sunny and has good visibility. In addition to reflecting that the person's heart is not very bright, it can also reflect the person's inexplicable disgust for head-on confrontation.

From his point of view, before completely playing with the enemy, playing crazy and stupid, and weakening it to the point where it cannot be weakened, we should try to avoid a decisive battle.
