Yang Ye said: "That's right. In the past two years, I have fought against Xijia and Yang Tao, and my vitality has been hurt a lot. In this way, I can collect a lot of taxes, and life will not be so tight."
Bei Chenqing said: "Yes, but now the vanguard is delayed under the South Ridge, Qiongnan soldiers and horses rely on the advantages of the terrain to guard the valley entrances in the middle of the Five Ridges, and they can't stand each other for a long time. I'm planning to bring people to follow. Concentrate your forces to break through this line of defense, and the rest will be nothing to fear."
Hearing the words, Yang Ye suddenly became angry: "I'll go with you too, I'll help you! I won't leave this time, I'll go back after you win Qiong Nanguo!"
Bei Chenqing said: "Aren't you going to discuss it with Ling Shaoqing? If you are so self-assertive, don't worry that he will get angry."
Yang Ye laughed and said, "He's actually not that hard to talk to. He didn't want to come here at first, but as soon as I pestered him, he followed. I'll talk to him when I go back, and he probably won't say anything. Just don't let the emperor Brother knows that we are here."
Bei Chenqing sighed: "I'm afraid that as soon as you enter the city, the eyeliner he planted will send the news back, and I can't stop it. But don't worry, you will make such a fuss that he won't see anyone for a year or so." , He definitely won’t do anything to you anymore. You go back and tell Ling Shaoqing, just live here with peace of mind, I will be killed for disobedience this time, and I will definitely not let anyone hurt him again.”
Thinking of Yang Xi who was lonely far away in the capital, Yang Ye felt suffocated, and couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Thank you for finding Ling Shu back for me. I said you are really capable, how did you find Ling Shu back then?" What about him? I entrusted Jun Wenzhe to look for it, but I searched all over the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and couldn’t find it, so I just didn’t expect him to go upstream.”
Bei Chenqing said: "It's also a coincidence that when I came here to lead troops across the river, I went to Wuhu to collect warships. The local prefect knew that I like swords and other things, so I bought a few and gave them away. Come on, there is this pillow ice sword among them. I hurriedly sent people to find them, looking for the person who sold the sword, but I heard that the person sold the sword and left. The accent is not from the local. I asked if it was the capital The accent, the man said no, after thinking about it for a long time, he said that it was probably the accent of Wushan.
I sent someone to search secretly around Wushan, and sure enough, I found it. This is just luck, you don't need to thank me, I caused you to separate back then, now it is my apology to you. "
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they missed each other a lot. They talked until midnight before they broke up happily. When Yang Ye returned, Ling Shu had already fallen asleep, so he quietly undressed and went to bed, but seeing Ling Shu turned over, he stretched out his hand to poke his shoulder: "Are you still asleep?"
Ling Shu snorted sleepily, and Yang Ye leaned over and said, "Stay a little longer, okay? Yun Qi said that he promises he won't do anything to us."
Ling Shudao: "Is that why you trust him?"
Yang Ye held his hand and pressed it to his face: "I grew up together, how can I not believe it? When I was not with you, we slept together."
Ling Shu waved his hands: "Then you can sleep with him now."
Yang Ye sighed: "Now that people have wives and children, what am I going to do? Isn't it annoying? Sigh, let's guard our own one-third of an acre of land. Although it is a little barren, it is our own land anyway, so cultivate more. I got to know each other after a few times. I said Ling Shu," he put his arms around Ling Shu's shoulders, and said affectionately, "It's hard to come here once, how about we go to Lingnan for a walk? The lychees over there It's delicious, although it's out of season, but you can eat dried lychees, lychee honey, etc., there are always these."
Ling Shu didn't expose him for his nonsense, but just said: "It's up to you."
Half a month later, when the army moved to the front, both Yang Ye and Ling Shu were served by their own bodyguards and rode their horses to follow not far behind Bei Chenqing. That's all for Yang Ye, once Ling Shu is dressed like this, he can't help but hide the murderous aura on his body, except for Yang Ye who is willing to walk with him, everyone around him avoids him, and they all secretly said in their hearts: " Such a straightforward and dignified guard!"
After marching for several days, they gradually approached the camp of the vanguard soldiers and horses, where Bei Chenqing's deputy general was in command. Bei Chenqing sent someone to send a message, and the deputy came over to greet him in person, and followed them all the way to the camp of the Chinese army.
Bei Chenqing entered the tent, Yang Ye followed, Ling Shu ignored other business as usual, and went back to the tent by himself.
Bei Chenqing first ordered the deputy general to report the recent battle situation in detail, and he carefully looked at the sand table on the case in the middle, and the deputy general said: "I have been waiting for a long time at the foot of the South Ridge. There are mostly mountains here. , Qiongnan's soldiers and horses gathered a lot of natives in the local area. With the familiarity of the terrain, it is very disadvantageous for us to control them. Moreover, the other guards sent soldiers and horses to harass them many times. He retreated and hid in the mountains, presumably he had already set up an ambush, intending to lure me to go down the mountain or go deep into the valley, so as to annihilate him in one fell swoop. I have tried many times, but I dare not act rashly, so I ask the general to make a decision."
Bei Chenqing said: "Then who came to harass him? Are they strong?"
The lieutenant general shook his head: "It's just ordinary soldiers, mixed with some natives, and even very few cavalry."
Bei Chenqing said: "Then it really is to lure the enemy to go deep. I have found out that the Lord of Qiongnan has united with the natives on the Five Ridges to form a very strong cavalry force, at least 2 people. From this point of view Just hide in this mountain, waiting for us to send it to your door."
He frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "He wants to lure the enemy deep, so we will use the plan. If we can lure the cavalry out, it would be the best to annihilate them in one fell swoop. The local natives are nothing more than a mob, so they will disappear and the road will be out of the way. He fiddled with the sand table for a while, then looked sideways at Yang Ye: "Little wolf, come here."
Yang Ye leaned over, took a closer look, and discussed with Bei Chenqing, he didn't come back until midnight, seeing that Ling Shu had already fallen asleep, he never waited for him. He became indignant, went up to pull him up and rubbed him, and said: "I have worked so hard to follow and give advice, you sleep here peacefully, why don't you care about me at all?"
Ling Shu woke up immediately, and said with a frown, "Yang Ye, don't be unreasonable. When you came here, you said you just take a look and leave, and then it turned into eating a few meals. After eating a few meals, you want to come here with soldiers and horses again. Now that I’m here, I hate that I don’t care about you. You went to spend the whole night planning for your brother’s world, what does it have to do with me?”
Yang Ye said straightforwardly: "Why has nothing to do with you? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Aren't you a citizen of the Dayan Dynasty?"
Ling Shudao: "I'm still a remnant of the previous dynasty, why don't you say it?"
Yang Ye said he couldn't do it, so he burst out: "I'm going to turn your remnants into obedient citizens today! You see, I can't do it!" Pressing up and holding him down, he just gnawed and bit. The weather was too hot, the two of them were sticking together, Ling Shu couldn't bear it, so he could only say: "Let go first, what are you so impatient?"
Yang Ye sighed: "Just now I discussed with Yun Qi about Nanling, and the opponent relied on the advantage of the terrain, it was too difficult to win. Now the only opportunity is that they are luring the enemy to go deep, Yun Qi wants to use the old, weak and remnant soldiers to lure them to hide in the mountain first. The cavalry came, and then the remnant soldiers retreated to both sides. What is the best way to control the enemy in the middle, so that they will not have time to retreat with the inertia of rushing down.
But the key to this strategy is that it is to lure people down the mountain, and it is even more difficult for them to resist by relying on the momentum of the terrain. The other party also has bows and arrows. We are at the foot of the mountain and do not have the advantage. I said to dig a horse pit, but Yun Qi said that there was too much movement, I waited in the open, and the enemy army was in the dark, so they would definitely be noticed by the other party; Known by the other party. So we worry about it. "
Ling Shu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Then go to the back and make something and send it over quietly so they won't find it."
Yang Ye said: "Nonsense, what to do? If I can figure it out, I don't have to worry about it."
Ling Shu then asked: "Their cavalry must be long-bladed, how long is it?"
Yang Ye said: "It's not short. Judging from the captured spears, they are about one foot long."
Ling Shudao: "Then go to the rear to build a two-foot-long big iron chisel and bring it over. If one person can't hold it, press the end to the handle, and two people will have one. Wait for the cavalry to rush down and go straight through. They People will die before they can attack with their spears. Besides, the skill of making this is not very complicated, just find more blacksmiths."
Yang Ye stared at him dumbfounded: "You... how did you come up with it? Does it work?"
Ling Shudao: "I used to have someone make it in Dali Temple. This kind of iron drill can nail the prisoner high to the wall at once. But the person who uses it must have strong arms."
Yang Ye was even more shocked when he heard the words, and he was very surprised: "Why did you nail it high on the wall?"
Ling Shudao: "Anyone can do it, it's boring."
Yang Ye groaned and said, "Seeing you, my heart suddenly hurts! No, it's the pain all over my body!"
On the second day, Yang Ye found Bei Chenqing, made some calculations, and decided to follow the plan. Sure enough, they went to the rear to recruit blacksmiths, and after a lot of research and development by skilled craftsmen, they made a few, and tried it on a few horses. Not enough!"
Bei Chenqing said: "If there is more, I'm afraid it will take too long. I have calculated it. The Nanren are short in stature. It is no problem to wear three or four on one of the iron brazes. But to be on the safe side, just wear two." .As long as the cavalry in the front is taken down, the formation behind will be chaotic. I said little wolf, you, Lord Ling... really..." He didn't know how to describe it, so he could only smile, and Yang Ye laughed and said: " Vicious and cruel, isn't it?"
Bei Chenqing hurriedly said: "No, no, on the battlefield, the more vicious and cruel the better."
Here, Beichenqing lined up his troops, during this period, Qiongnan's soldiers came to harass him a few times, between advancing and retreating, there was indeed the intention of luring the enemy to go deep. The two of them knew exactly what to do, they only waited for the iron drill to be ready and delivered, and then they started to act according to the plan.
After getting ready, Beichenqing heard that Qiongnan soldiers were disturbing again that day, and began to mobilize troops. Yang Ye hurriedly took the time to go back to the camp, and said to Ling Shu: "I'm using iron sticks to pierce people today. Do you want to watch the fun?"
Ling Shu's eyes flashed, as if his heart was moving, Yang Ye took the opportunity to go over and pull him up: "Let's go, let's go, I'm going anyway, and I'm pointing at you to protect me! If you don't go, you will be killed on the battlefield." Swords and guns don’t have eyes, so you’re not afraid that something will happen to me, so you’ll have nowhere to go for the rest of your life?” Coaxing him to get dressed, he went to mix with Beichenqing’s guards. Bei Chenqing would take the three brothers of the Ma family with him wherever he went, so he specially asked the three brothers to protect the two of them.
The iron drills were brought in, and the soldiers with strong arms were picked up. The two of them took one and arranged them in formation. Ling Shu stared silently at the iron drill for a while, then suddenly said: "It would be even better if it can be used red hot."
Yang Ye's teeth felt cold for a while, he couldn't help but groaned, and said, "Forget it, where are you going to set up a stove now? I don't plan to eat barbecue, so you don't have to be so considerate.
On the side of the Dayan soldiers and horses, everyone followed Bei Chenqing's orders. The vanguard general led a group of infantry and rushed out to follow the retreat of the Qiongnan people. Bei Chenqing led Yang Ye and others to follow. After chasing for dozens of miles, they reached a gentle slope of a mountain, and saw that the opponent's soldiers and horses were hiding there one after another, so Bei Chenqing ordered them to drive directly down that slope, so that the enemy soldiers would not be able to retreat in time.
Sure enough, in the forest on the mountain, suddenly there were feathers and arrows, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Teams of cavalry rushed out and galloped down the hillside.
When they were about to rush to the front, the infantry in front retreated to both sides like a tide. The general who led the troops was also experienced, and suddenly realized that there was a deceit, but it was too late to retreat, only the sound of screams and exclamations remained. .Soldiers with iron rods put on a batch, then threw away the rods and retreated to the sides, and then added another batch, waiting for the soldiers and horses behind Qiong Nanguo to rush over.
The cavalry of Qiongnan Kingdom followed suit and died one after another, and became even more chaotic. Some soldiers in the back wanted to retreat, but they were rushed towards the people in front of them, and they became a mess.
Taking advantage of Qiongnan Kingdom's defeat and trampling each other forward and backward, Beichenqing ordered his troops to divide into three groups, encircle them and attack in an all-round way. They fought like a tiger, and finally opened the passage to the vast land in Lingnan.
The result of this battle made Bei Chenqing and Yang Ye satisfied. The only one who felt regretful was Ling Shu. Amidst the hissing and retreating of the opponent's soldiers and horses, he said to Yang Ye: "I fell for you, there is nothing to see, but that's all. That's all. If you are obedient, you will have some fun by burning the iron drill red."
Yang Ye couldn't help but clicked his tongue again and again: "Master Ling, please make up for it. Compared with your messy methods in Dali Temple, it's nothing interesting. But your set of skills, you can't see the light of day in Dali Temple. It would be too disgusting to show off outside!"
