Suizhou, Shechuan City.

Meng Yu sat in the mansion, his eagle-like gaze scanning the battle reports in front of him.

Of course he knew that he had encountered a difficult bone. He even knew very well that this difficult bone was that Ning Jiang, who had wiped out Mu Bugu's last time, was quite excited. Last time, Ning Jiang was able to defeat Mu Bugu's ten thousand elite soldiers with a group of temporary remnants. Now, a few months have passed, what can he and his people do this time?

Meng Yu is indeed very interested in Ningjiang.

Although he was a barbarian general, Meng Yu was still very interested in some things about China, including Chinese poetry. He actually didn't understand those poems very well, and he also despised them for their uselessness. But despised is one thing, and being interested is another. However, Ningjiang has written a lot of poetry in the past or two years. He knows nothing about the rhythm and other things, but at least it sounds very good and is very popular.

After the last time he withdrew from the army, he paid attention to what happened in the Central Plains. Naturally, he knew that the boy named Ning was valued by an emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and carried out some changes. Of course, it was a pity that after the new emperor took office, he had nothing to do with him. In the old Chinese saying, this is called "one emperor and another minister"?

But no matter what, Meng Yu must admit that the guy has the capital worthy of his attention. So, he didn't mind finding the kid early and giving him a three-kill and six-hole hole to see how brave he is?

Meng Yu was drawn from the scouts he sent out one after another, and it was determined that those people must have investigation methods that he did not know, and the scope of the investigation was not small. How did those people do it? He has not figured it out yet, but there were some strange things in this world, so it doesn't matter how the other party did it, as long as he knows that the other party can do it. The real generals can always consider the problem based on reality, rather than covering their heads after the facts and shouting that this is impossible.

To this end, Meng Yu's first thing was to shrink his troops and no longer let his troops be dispersed everywhere. The scouts sent out were all cooperating with each other, making them two groups of Yijiao, a distance away from each other, cooperating with each other, and protecting each other. One group was attacked, and the other group responded immediately.

As the troops shrink, there will naturally be some Chinese troops who want to support Haojing and support their emperor to sneak out of his hands, but he doesn't care about this. He believes that Li Hu will definitely call him a fool while easily removing those vulnerable Chinese soldiers.

He is only interested in the guy who is in trouble for him now.

Meng Yu knew very well that no matter how the other party hid or strangled the scouts he sent, forcing him to compress the scope of the investigation, an army of at least tens of thousands or even more would eventually be exposed.

He is not the Chinese soldiers who are frightened. He cannot solve him by harassment alone, and the other party is obviously very clear about this.

So, first of all, he must figure out the motives of the other party's troops. Is the purpose of those people, like others, wanting to rescue the emperor in the capital, or simply wanting to eat his army?

He let the road to rescue the capital, which was his attempt. He let a Chinese army that he was not interested in at all pass by, but those people did not leave. He knew very clearly that the person surnamed Ning was still lurking in the dark and peeping at him.

So he understood that those bold guys were really coming for him.

A Chinese who dared to let their dangerous emperor leave it alone, just to swallow this branch, is still an invincible elite soldier on the land of China. Are these people too arrogant or too stupid?

In any case, the real battle will eventually be head-on. Both him and the other party must be very clear about this. But he knew that before the real battle came, the other party would definitely use various means to tilt the balance on the battlefield to the other party, just like the one named Ning did against Mu Bugu a few months ago. The final decisive battle was the hedge between the cavalry on both sides, but before the final battle, Mu Bugu and his cavalry were already exhausted, just like a big man who had already exhausted. Even if he finally faced a little girl who was far weaker than him, it was actually no different from waiting to die.

Creating the most favorable environment so that our soldiers can face the enemy on a relatively favorable battlefield with the most complete fighting spirit. This is what the famous general does.

There is no doubt that there is a famous general on the other side!

So...what kind of battlefield will the other party choose? Or...will he really have a chance to choose?

Ning Jiang sat on a wooden bench and looked at the sand table placed in front of him.

Li Hu's troops suppressed Haojing, and Meng Yu surrounded the points to attack the aid. This was obviously the established strategy of the two main barbarians. However, now, Meng Yu's main force has relaxed the gap to Haojing.

After pondering for a long time, Ning Jiang began to understand that this was just a test of Meng Yu's behavior. Meng Yu, a barbarian general, had already keenly realized that he was going for him.

This is the land of China, and Ningjiang has an advantage in reconnaissance through the telescope and "Sparrow Eye". However, Ningjiang did not dare to be careless. After all, even he was the first time he led a large army of more than tens of thousands of people to face the powerful barbarian elite soldiers.

On the battlefield, an army of thousands or tens of thousands is completely different from most of the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. It was considered a great thing that Liu Bang was able to lead 100,000 soldiers. In the Battle of Pengcheng, he had to bring 560,000 people beyond his ability, but in the end he was chased by Xiang Yu's 30,000 people, and Fu Jian of Di Qin led a million people. As a result, an order for the entire army to retreat, and because someone in the rear army created rumors, the entire army was defeated.

The battle at Caishixia proved that he could do the same for tens or 20,000 people who were integrated by him personally, but on a larger battlefield, "like arms to use fingers" is by no means as simple as saying. The army itself is scattered, and he cannot even see many soldiers and horses. He can only dispatch tasks layer by layer through the lower-level generals according to the established strategy. War is a matter of probability, and he will not be careless just because he is a time traveler.

Ning Jiang didn't care about Meng Yu's release, and he naturally didn't care whether the new emperor in the capital was dead or alive. The emperor was the backbone of China, but after all, this backbone could not be replaced. The first thing he faced now was this important war belonging to him.

More information related to the enemy was scattered through the "Sparrow Eye". In the process of analyzing the direction of the opponent's action, Ning Jiang narrowed his eyes. The barbarian soldiers took back the scattered scouts and were sending cavalry groups of thousands of cavalry to sweep them in his direction in a row of horses. Ning Jiang began to feel that it was too arrogant to pick such a barbarian elite soldier so early? There is no doubt that there is a calm and sense of overall situation on the opposite side.

Although he lived for a lifetime, Ning Jiang did not care much about war in the previous life. At most, he only heard about the names of some barbarian generals and had no knowledge of their personalities and combat style. Of course, this is the battlefield. There are always more unknowns than known things. No matter how powerful generals are, it is difficult to control the overall situation. So after all, this is a question of probability. How to make oneself have a greater chance of winning? This is what he is going to do now.

The mountains in the southern part of Suizhou are extensions of the branches of the western section of the Qinling Mountains. There are relatively many mountains and forests, so it is relatively beneficial for him to lead the enemy to this side.

The barbarian generals on the opposite side obviously understood this, but the other party was not afraid. The strength of the barbarian generals was not offset by these advantages. The barbarian army, who knew that they were at a disadvantage in intelligence, was finding them at the fastest speed. Once the main force was discovered, it would inevitably be a collision of strength. With the quality of soldiers of this era, it would be a joke to fight guerrilla warfare. As we swam, everyone became a mess of sand that could not find each other's team.

He looked down at the sand table, and watched the barbarians divided into four parts, advancing in a square shape in a formation. When each part was advancing, they sent a chain of horses to explore the surroundings like satellites. The enemy general's judgment was extremely keen and could not avoid them no matter how hard it was. In this case, what he could do now was to take the initiative to attack before the enemy discovered his main force.

And the first ones to play were... Jianli and Xiaomeng!

***

In the evening, Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng stood on the same mountain, holding a distant tube in their hands, looking at the barbarians camping by the river in the distance.

The barbarian army was located on the right wing of the main force of the barbarian generals, with about 15,000 people. It was probably because of the hard days that were originally in the north of Yinchuan. The construction of the camp was quite simple and there was not much attention, but it was extremely orderly and step-by-step.

The spies sent in the form of a chain of horses were withdrawing, and all kinds of laughter began to come from the barbarian camp. Unlike the Chinese army they had encountered before, they were often extremely quiet, even giving people an inexplicable sense of depression, and their morale was extremely low. Only the Ning family army they were in contact with now seemed much higher than other Chinese army.

Yes, the Ning family army... I don't know when it started, but in that army, the soldiers were used to calling themselves that way.

If it were in the past, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which did not allow troops, such a title could be said to be a taboo. The army did not belong to anyone. When they wanted to fight, they would temporarily drop a commander over there. Such a title would not have been possible.

But now, no one cares, and no one knows how long the Great Zhou Dynasty could last?

The barbarian army, who had rich combat experience, chose a place close to the river and had a relatively wide view. Night slowly came, and it was dark very quickly at the turn of autumn and winter. At night, the wind was strong and the dew was heavy, and there was no starlight in the sky. The two girls crawled into the forest and rested in the temporary thatched hut built in the forest for the middle of the night to accumulate energy.

In the second half of the night, they left the hut. The weather was quite cold at night. Even though they had already worn a lot, they felt a little frozen. Chun Jianli picked up the telescope again and looked at the hill on the other side. A few flames lit up in that direction, which was a signal to inform them to proceed as planned.

"We asked us to do this in the middle of the night," Chun Jianli muttered dissatisfiedly, "I must ask that guy to compensate after I go back."

Xiao Meng knew that the "that guy" she was talking about was her brother, and she couldn't help but think of that rainy night. Her brother asked Jian Li, who was posing in a strange position, to eat strange parts of her brother. Since that night, even her eyes when she looked at her brother became strange. Especially when she thought that she had learned that posture from Xiao Ya'er who practiced bone shrinkage.

In the dark, the two girls dragged out a huge wooden armored weapon from a pile of hays, which was a glider modified by their brother. Although the night was dark, there was no trouble for them who had practiced to the golden soul.

As the gliders were dragged out, there were many cotton bags, each of which was pressed firmly and in a tofu shape. They placed the cotton bags on the gliders, then pushed the gliders together and rushed down a slope. The rollers under the gliders were spinning faster and faster, and the cold wind was rolling backwards in their ears.

In the distance on the other side, a pair of thousands of cavalry were quietly approaching the barbarian camp stationed by the barbarian army. Everyone got off their horses, and shock-absorbing strips were wrapped around the horse's hooves. The wind was strong at night, so they avoided the barbarian army's superiority and approached the barbarians from the side. However, it was impossible for an army of thousands to truly be silent, and the barbarian army was obviously not completely prepared for the night attack.

The drums of the ton and ton were ringing rapidly, and the barbarians in the distance came out of their tents. Knowing that they had been discovered, they quickly got on their horses and approached the barracks in front.

Even the cavalry has a real effective range of rushing distances of only five or six hundred steps. If you sprint in advance, the horse's speed will often slow down before you reach the enemy and become the last of a force. Instead, it becomes the target of the enemy's arrow. This is like a strong man who can persist in running for a long distance, which can accelerate with all his might in a short time and run for a quarter of an hour.

This cavalry did not successfully approach the sprint distance. From the perspective of night attacks, it was undoubtedly a failure. However, they still rode their horses and approached the military camp in the distance at a not too fast speed.
