The battle was about to break out, but it didn't break out immediately.

In fact, when Ming Lin Dafu looked at the mess in front of him, including the few "ox cavalry" who were still moving on the ground, he actually waved his hand and chose to temporarily retreat the entire army for a mere two miles and began to set up camp!

"Two miles away to establish a stronghold?!"

"You can attack directly as soon as you step out?!"

"This is really determined to push us down!"

"The intention of demonstration is there, but it is also limited by the terrain. After all, this is a mountain passage!"

"Should we send troops to attack?"

"The cavalry on the opposite side didn't move at all, they were just watching from the two wings... No matter how many people went out, they would have to be wrapped up!"

"Their dwarf cavalry can stay in the mountains, but we can't!"

"Are we going to sit back and watch the other party set up camp so close?!"

"They just saw it and we didn't dare to go out!"

"A bunch of chickens and dogs!" Amid the debate, Gongsun Xun, who had been looking ahead for a long time, suddenly said, and then sneered.

Everyone was stunned... most people didn't know how to respond to these words for a while!

"That's what my lord said!" After a long pause, Mohu Zang didn't want to be so shameless and took the lead in echoing. "A bunch of chickens and dogs are vulnerable to a single blow!"

However, Mohu Zang's rare words of agreement did not attract good feedback from Gongsun Xun. The latter even gave him a cold look:

"Tell me, Mohu, tell me how the enemy behaves like a chicken or a dog."

Mohu Zang immediately kept silent and did not dare to speak.

"Let me ask you, why did the enemy kill people in front of the battle, and also killed such a big noble in the country?" Gongsun Xun pointed at the mess of blood and flesh in front of the camp gate with one hand, and shouted sharply with the knife in the other hand.

Because of Mohu Zang's experience, no one dared to answer for a while.

"Uncle Zi, why did we bring him here just now?" Gongsun Xunfu pointed at Miru who was kneeling there, staring blankly outside the camp gate.

"Kill Ji Qi..." Lou Gui whispered.

"Why do you want to kill Ji Qi?" Gongsun Xun asked sternly, and then asked himself the question. "Because the enemy's army has a strict formation and a large number, and we are worried about low morale, so we want to use this to boost morale!"

Lou Zibo's eyes lit up: "What Shaojun means...the enemy also lacks confidence, so that's why he did this in such a big way?"

"Otherwise?" Gongsun Xun asked suddenly. "Are you making such a show of making a fuss to shirk responsibility? The clan leader of one of the five tribes in the country will be killed as soon as he says it. What do other people in that tribe think? Other tribes.

Would a nobleman like a rabbit be like a fox and be saddened by its own kind? Isn't it true that his husband is old and about to die? Isn't he ready to take such dangerous measures in order to ensure the stability of Goguryeo for twenty years after his death? Or to put it another way,

If he is really confident when he comes to answer his husband, and can defeat him in a single battle with the absolute strength of his troops, then why would he take this move that is doomed to have endless troubles?"

"Because when he came here and saw that we were well prepared, he had no confidence in defeating us in a fight!" Seeing that everyone was speechless but everyone listened attentively, Gongsun Xun sneered and took the initiative to explain himself.

"And now that he is retreating to set up camp...doesn't he know in his heart that the tens of thousands of troops under his command are of insufficient quality and cannot fight immediately after coming from a long distance?!"

The expressions of many officers on the stage gradually relaxed... Although they understood that Gongsun Xun was still trying to boost morale after all, they could not deny the truth in his words, and boosting morale itself was about persuading everyone.

"As for why we set up the camp at a distance of only more than two miles." Gongsun Xun continued to point ahead and said solemnly. "Of course it means to use the terrain to force us, and it certainly means to make it easier to attack... But have you ever thought about it?

The other party actually designed this to worry that if things got out of hand, it would be easier for the army to retreat and escape?!"

Everyone was confused for a moment, but they were quickly pointed out directly by Gongsun Xun.

"The enemy's strength lies in quantity, while the strength of our army lies in quality. In particular, our army has a large number of cavalry and has always been good at field battles. Although the front is still in the mountains, the passage is gradually opening up, and cavalry can be used to pursue it... In other words, if the opponent

Once they fail to attack our camp and retreat, and our cavalry follows in pursuit, the Goguryeo army will inevitably collapse. There is no doubt about it! But now that they have placed their camp so close, what will happen to our cavalry?

How can we calmly form an array between two battalions?"

Everyone suddenly realized... the opponent's move really hindered the cavalry's formation. With a distance of more than two miles, if the cavalry poured out from the camp gate and then formed in front of the camp, they would probably encounter a direct hit from the opponent's camp.

, making it impossible for the cavalry to form a formation.

"Fu Minglin is actually timid before fighting!" Thinking of this, Gongsun Fan couldn't help shouting. "He even thought about running away."

"That's exactly what I meant!" Gongsun Xun sneered more and more. "Everyone, let me ask you again... why did the war end up in this situation? Why did the Goguryeo people not hesitate to use Zuoyuan as bait to carry out such a dangerous thing? You can worry about it.

It’s for meritorious service and to become Ming Lin Dafu’s successor, so why would Ming Lin Dafu, a rotten old man who is about to die, agree to this?”

As soon as these words came out, Mi Ru, who had dull eyes, turned his head slightly.

"Please give me some advice, my lord." Lou Gui took half a step forward and asked earnestly with his hands in hand.

"It's very simple, because the domestic situation in Goguryeo is already very unbearable." Gongsun Xun held his sword and looked at his subordinate officers who were either thoughtful or confused. "I will answer my husband tomorrow tomorrow.

In the incident, he almost killed all the royal family, and although the power of his own tribe was superior to the other four tribes, they could not completely subdue the other four tribes by themselves... In other words, the six tribes of Goguryeo that had been founded nearly two hundred years ago

The political balance was completely destroyed by him. When he was alive, he could still rely on his prestige to cover up these things, but he knew very well that once he died, civil strife would break out in Goguryeo! It was precisely because of this that he

Only then did he agree with Yu Muke's opinion and try to use a big victory to complete the internal handover! But unexpectedly, we were able to easily defeat him!"

This kind of high-end political analysis is almost unimaginable to everyone in front of them... They are just descendants of the family, senior officers, and leaders. Not to mention Gongsun Xun, how could they think of such a joint? But once it is said

, but it still feels like a sudden enlightenment.

"Everyone," Gongsun Xun looked around. "Don't you still know what happened now? The national destiny of Goguryeo has declined, but we came here by chance and still took the initiative... Isn't this destiny?

?! God has given you your destiny. If you miss the opportunity and delay it, you will be punished by God!"

Everyone changed their colors.

"Listen to my order!" Gongsun Xun suddenly pulled out his long-handled, highly recognizable broken blade. "Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan!"

"Here!" The two of them quickly bowed down.

"The two battalions on the left and right will also face the Goguryeo army directly. You two are my closest brothers. You should set an example by setting an example!" Gongsun Xun said with an expressionless face. "As we said during the military meeting yesterday, Gongsun Yue went to the left camp.

Gongsun Fan goes to the right camp... Now, I have one more thing to say to you, that is, unless our army launches a massive counterattack, you two will never leave the camp. If you leave the camp without permission, I will hang your heads here.

Serve as a warning! Never break your promise!"

"I will obey my brother's order!" The two of them did not dare to say more and immediately bowed down again and agreed.

"Mohu Zang!"

"exist!"

"You and Mohubu follow Gongsun Yue to Zuoying!"

"yes!"

"Duan Ri Yu Ming!"

"exist!"

"You and your Duanbu are going to Youying with Gongsun Fan!"

"Xu Rong!"

"exist"

"You are the most familiar with the Goguryeo people. I will hand over the entire frontal defense line in front of the camp to you!"

"Here!"

"Taodun, you are Xu Rong's deputy... Now that the cavalry is of no use for the time being, I will break your troops into small groups and organize them into the ranks of the Han army to take turns in the battle."

"yes!"

"Shuji!"

"The official is here."

"Let Jian Ju and his Fuyu people temporarily lend a helping hand to you, handle the logistics, and be sure to ensure frontline military supplies!"

"I will obey your orders."

"Take down this flag," Gongsun Xun said, pointing to the white horse flag above his head. "This is for Xu Sima and Taoduntou. I will move the flag of our formation to the high platform of the camp behind...

Like Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue, I will never leave the Chinese army camp unless I counterattack! Zibo will assist me and dispatch support everywhere!"

"Here!"

"Finally, Han Dang will be my main cavalry and lead my subordinate army to inspect each camp. If there is anyone who retreats without mercy... he will be killed immediately! The Han army will implicate the family, and the Hu cavalry will implicate the tribe! But if we win, this will

I will take no advantage from the battle and return it all to the enemy! You can tell this to every soldier. I, Gongsun Xun, will never break my promise!" After saying this, Gongsun Xun cut his hand again with a knife and wiped his face with blood.

"Tai Yi is above, the destiny of this battle is mine, let's act separately!"

All the generals were shocked, but couldn't help being shocked. Then they all drew their swords and cut open their palms, covered their faces with blood, and pointed to the sky to prove their intentions. Even Wang Xiu did the same.

"How to deal with this person?" Everyone was about to disperse, but Lou Zibo couldn't help but frown and pointed at Mi Ru, who had a dull expression.

"Let's leave it to the Chinese army," Gongsun Xun glanced at the other party, but didn't bother to say more. "Maybe it has been destroyed, but it may still be useful!"

After saying this, Gongsun Xun ignored the blood dripping from his palms, grabbed the knife and walked off the temporary wooden platform at the front of the camp, and boldly headed towards the higher permanent platform fortifications at the back.

There was no talk all night. On the morning of the next day, the two armies each had a good meal, but they finally officially joined forces!

"These two days are probably the most difficult." Lou Gui stood on the high platform. Perhaps because he was farther and higher, he felt that the densely packed Goguryeo soldiers were really swarming up like ants in his eyes, and he couldn't help but change his color. "The Goguryeo people

The morale is the best, and there are too many people!”

"It's not that exaggerated." Gongsun Xun looked at the situation ahead expressionlessly. "Although there are many Goguryeo people, they are disorganized. Unlike our army, which relies on the camp to be well organized, and the size of the battle area in front of the formation is determined by us.
To be continued...
