: The horse is flying fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt.

It's not that Li Yunze was born with a penchant for playing dirty tricks. After all, how could a gentleman like him, who was an exemplary model, be born with evil intentions?

The reason why we often like to launch surprise operations during wars is purely because of the needs of the battlefield environment.

When you go to the battlefield, you always want to win at the minimum cost, which can minimize losses.

The losses mentioned here are not various materials, but living people.

If Li Yunze and Zhu Jin open up a front-on battle, they can win if they want to, but they will have to pay the price of losing at least thousands of people.

If the optional raid is successful, the loss of troops and horses will be reduced to less than 10%.

As a coach, of course you have to consider the lives of the soldiers under your command.

The early morning mist had not yet dissipated, and Li Yunze had already set off from Caoxian County with tens of thousands of cavalry, heading straight for Zhu Jin's headquarters.

Zhu Jin is obviously more cautious than his brother.

After setting off from Yanzhou, he sent envoys to contact Zhu Xuan every day, but yesterday's envoy did not come back.

The probability of something happening to an envoy these days is not low, so it shouldn't be considered a big deal.

But Zhu Jin always felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and her heart felt heavy as if something was about to happen.

Although we can reach Caoxian in the afternoon, we will meet up with Zhu Xuan who should have arrived at the county seat of Caoxian by this time.

But Zhu Xuan did not send an envoy to contact him.

Just when he was doubting, the former army reported that an envoy from the Tianping Army had arrived.

Zhu Jin immediately summoned people to ask.

The envoy was indeed from the Tianping Army, and some of his generals even recognized him.

As for the envoy's statement that Zhu Xuan had arrived in Caoxian County and sent himself and others to greet him, Zhu Jin had no doubts.

After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhu Xuan ordered his troops to speed up and try to reach Caoxian County in advance.

However, his boredom did not disappear, so the number of detective horses that should be sent out did not decrease.

At noon, a series of hills appeared in front of us.

It is said to be hills, but in fact it is just a small broken soil slope.

The vegetation on the slope is lush and lush, making it a good place to escape the summer heat.

The people from the Tianping Army said that after passing the series of slopes in front, they would reach the county seat of Caoxian County. Their Jiedushi had already slaughtered chickens and pigs, preparing to entertain the brothers from the Taining Army.

"Um."

The sergeants under his command cheered and their pace could not help but speed up a bit.

But Zhu Jin was a little distracted, always feeling that something was wrong.

As we got closer and closer to the slope, the discomfort in my heart became more and more intense.

Until his trusted lieutenant came over on horseback and expressed anxiously, "Jiedu, no one of the expedition horses sent by the former army into the mountains and forests came back! And"

"Besides, it's too quiet in this mountain forest!" Zhu Jin suddenly understood.

These days, the mountains and fields outside the city are not a quiet place. There are swarms of tigers and leopards, and birds and animals are everywhere.

It's not like in the modern world, if you want to see wild animals, you have to go to the zoo.

At this noon time, animals should be roaring and insects buzzing, but it was surprisingly quiet in the forest.

The army was approaching, and the birds and animals with keen senses should have fled away, but there was not even a mouse in sight.

In this case, either the animals are moving collectively, or there is an army hiding in the mountains and forests!

"Don't make any noise!" Zhu Jin glanced at the 'Tianping Army' in the distance bitterly, and said in a deep voice, "Order the rear army to stop immediately, and connect the heavy baggage vehicles to form a vehicle formation. Order the front army to slow down.

pace, delaying as much time as possible. Order the Chinese army to move forward immediately from behind.

Stop in front of the regiment and camp, put on your armor and hold your troops to form a battle formation!"

"only!"

Zhu Jin reacted quickly and responded quickly.

He knew that he couldn't stop directly at this time, otherwise the enemy would immediately come out to launch an offensive.

If the long snake formation is attacked while on the march, it is almost certain to be defeated.

Zhu Jin was very decisive and immediately asked the front army to commit suicide to confuse the enemy. The middle army and the rear army responded quickly.

The Taining Army is also very professional, and it only takes half an hour at most to be fully prepared.

If it can be delayed and the front troops are allowed to move into the vehicle formation to reorganize, it is unlikely that more soldiers and horses will be saved.

Zhu Jin's response was definitely very fast, and there was nothing inappropriate about the arrangement.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Li Yunze had clairvoyance.

To say it's a thousand miles away is obviously an exaggeration, but with a high-powered telescope it's still possible to see seven or eight miles away.

Li Yunze stood under a canopy tree, holding a telescope in his hand and looking in the direction of the Taining Army's central army.

He saw the envoys he sent to deceive were dragged under the general's banner, and after a lot of tossing, they were all dealt with with swords and swords.

Looking at the marching column of the Taining Army, their forward speed has obviously slowed down.

Li Yunze finally put away the telescope, raised his hand and touched his nose, "There are too few fools, not enough."

Zhu Jin was able to fight from a captain to the position of Jiedushi. Naturally, he would not lack battlefield experience, and he would not be a fool.

Compared to his brother, he is much stronger.

Li Yunze sighed softly, put away his telescope, and turned around to tell the tooth soldiers around him, "Send the order, wear your armor."

"only!"

Qin, Han, Tang Weiwei, the accents of the sergeants will change, but the meanings are the same.

As the order was conveyed, the continuous soil slopes composed of many hills gradually became brighter under the noon sun.

In order to enhance the shock and bring psychological pressure to the enemy, Li Yunze equipped the armored cavalry with bright light armor that was very conspicuous in the sun.

When the soldiers began to put on the Mingguang Armor, the entire mountain forest seemed to come alive in an instant, transforming into a hill of steel!

Zhu Jin naturally saw the dazzling light.

Naturally, he had heard of the reputation of Li Yunze's armored cavalry, but he scorned the news that all of them were equipped with Mingguang armor.

Of course he knew how expensive the Mingguang Armor was.

This kind of good stuff is not only expensive but also difficult to make and maintain.

If Li Yunze is rich, he believes that he has thousands of sets of equipment. But all the soldiers and horses are equipped with Mingguang armor, and even selling Li Yunze to Pingkangfang to dance the Hu Xuan Dance can't raise the money!

Armor doesn't mean that once you make a set, it will last for 180 years.

Routine maintenance is very important. It requires the use of expensive oils and waxes, and the nail leaves must be replaced in damaged areas.

Even so, the beetle leaves will continue to oxidize and rust due to exposure to air, and will even be damaged quickly when it rains.

The service life of armor is actually very short, far less than imagined.

Therefore, it seems to Zhu Jin that it is nonsense to maintain an army that uses the expensive Mingguang Armor on a large scale for a long time.

But now, he saw with his own eyes that the entire hill turned into a torrent of Mingguang Armor. He finally believed that Li Yunze actually equipped all the armored cavalry with Mingguang Armor.

How inhumane! How much does this cost!!

Zhu Jin, who was envious and jealous, ordered the corpses of the "Tianping Army" who came to deceive him to be dragged away, and quickly gathered troops and horses to prepare for the battle.

The armored cavalry finally came out of the dense forest. From the perspective of the Taining Army, it was a torrent of steel flowing out of the green woods like mercury pouring out.

Because the Taining Army was already prepared, this time Li Yunze did not defeat the rolling bead curtain tactics, but chose to attack Huanglong directly.

Two partial divisions were divided to entangle the front and rear armies of the Taining Army. Li Yunze personally led the main force to attack Zhu Jin's central army.

The Chinese army is about to complete their armor, and they must rush over before they form a formation!

The distance of seven or eight miles would naturally take a lot of time if you rely on your legs to walk, but if you consider the crazy speed of the horse, it is actually very fast.

I feed and take care of the war horse carefully on weekdays, just to increase the speed to the extreme now!

The war horses that go to the battlefield are all carefully selected tall horses.

Even if it is carrying a fully armed knight, a war horse with full strength can still run at a speed of tens of kilometers per hour.

Of course, you don’t need to run for an hour. A few minutes will be enough to cover the distance of seven or eight miles.

For an army whose unit is measured in tens of thousands, nothing can be done in a few minutes.

Seeing the tidal torrent of steel rushing towards him, Zhu Jin cursed angrily!

"You don't even give him a chance to fight head-on, you don't show martial ethics!"

Li Yunze, who was full of martial virtue, rushed to the front. Seeing that the Taining army in front of him was still able to maneuver well, he immediately took out his strong bow and armor-piercing heavy arrows, and pointed the bow and arrow at the general's flag behind Zhu Jin!

'Snapped!!'
