Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Panlong Water Village is located on Banbi Mountain under the rule of Qichang Mansion.It was the Xia Army of Xunyang County, the first line of defense above the Yangtze River.

And this Banbi Mountain is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River.Here, the solitary peaks stand high, the cliffs are like cuts, and the heart of the river is abrupt, standing like a pass. It and Tianjia Town on the north bank are horns of each other, and the situation is dangerous.

After the Xia army stationed here, they set up camp on the bank, and crossed 3 iron cables and 7 cables across the river to isolate the waterway.

If the Yunjun naval division of Jiangzhou County wants to go down the river and attack Xia Kingdom, the first place to break through is here!
At this time, the generals and soldiers of the Xia Army in Panlong Water Village heard the sound of thunderous drums.

On the surface of the huge Yangtze River, tall warships came one after another, with their banners covering the sky, and they came with awe-inspiring murderous aura.

In addition to the surface of the river, on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, there are billowing smoke and dust, and horseshoes.At the end of the line of sight, the unrecognizable number of Yunguo's army rushed forward in unison.

Among the army, among the cloud dragon flags, the big banners of "Dayun Youjun Dudufu Duduwu" and "Qujinghouwu" fluttered in the wind, hunting and hunting, showing their power.

The Yun Army of Jiangzhou County, which had been dormant for two years, made a sudden move today. It was a big battle of tens of thousands of troops advancing by water and attacking with all their strength!
In an instant, the faces of the soldiers of the Xia army stationed here were extremely ugly.

"It's Wu Zixu from Yunguo!"

The sound of exclamation sounded, and the entire Panlong Water Village camp suddenly exploded.

Under the urging of the chief general, the soldiers of the battalion hurried out, climbed to the top of the water stronghold, and returned to their respective positions, wielding bed crossbows, trebuchets, and arrows, trying to forcibly intercept the incoming cloud army.

Seven or eight years ago, when the status of this world had not been promoted, and the world had not undergone major changes, the iron chain across the river and the isolation of the waterway could prevent the enemy's navy from advancing an inch.

Facing the Panlong water village that blocked the river, he had to spend a lot of life and energy to snatch several camps on both sides of the river, and finally he was able to cut and melt the iron chains and break through the water village blockade.

But today, the world is different!
With only a few iron chains, it was already impossible to stop the Yunguo Navy, which was blessed with the vision of the army.

Even though these iron ropes were carefully arranged by the masters of the Xia Kingdom, at most they can only block it for a while like Xu Shu's eight-door golden lock formation with iron ropes on the Nanpan River back then.

Today, the cloud army, land and water armies advanced side by side, the might of the army was horrifying, the aura of killing on the battlefield soared to the sky, even causing the sky and the earth to change color, and the dark clouds shrouded it, coming towards the Panlong Water Village.

Especially when the banner of the cloud general Wu Zixu, who was so powerful and feared by the Xia people, appeared on the battlefield, the hearts of the soldiers of the Xia army in the water village trembled even more.

An aura of silence, solemnity, and even despair permeated the water camp.

The commander of the Xia army in the water village saw the hopelessness and helplessness in the water village, and he felt a panic in his heart.

I'm afraid that today will be the day when all the soldiers in the water village will be wiped out...

But a moment later, the chief general of the water village suddenly straightened his back, his face full of determination.

I saw him stepping up to the high platform quickly, drew out the sword at his waist and held it up high, facing the soldiers of the Xia army below, hissed and shouted:  …

"From then on down the river, it's only a thousand miles away from my Great Xia capital. Because of Panlong Water Village, no mistakes are allowed!"

"Now that the situation is so critical, I will fight to the death with my strength and strength. If I take half a step back, I beg you to behead me!"

Even though Xia's army was defeated by Yun Guo many times, even though he was afraid of Wu Zixu's monstrous power to destroy hundreds of thousands of elite Xia's troops in the first battle.

But Xia Guo has millions of soldiers, but how come there are no brave and bloody people?
The master of the water village has always had a high prestige in the past.Boosting morale in this way also aroused the bloody courage of the soldiers of the Xia army in Shuizhai.

The depression and despair temporarily dissipated, replaced by the hissing voice of Xia Jun's soldiers:
"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The shouts of all the soldiers resounded inside and outside the water village, as if they were responding to the roaring drums of the Yun army.

A sense of decisive death rushed straight to the sky from the Panlong water village at this time, causing the heaven and earth to move, and suddenly condensed the vision of an army of unknown shape that was entwined with fierce aura.

The iron chains and slender cables lying across the river also moved at this moment, emitting blue radiance. With the help of the power of mountains and rivers, they manifested an incomparably complicated formation, and locked across the Yangtze River.

But at this time, the central army of the Yun army in the distance, under the banner of the commander-in-chief, the powerful commander of the Yun army of Jiangzhou County, the governor of the right army of Yunguo, and Wu Zixu of Qu Jinghou, all had a solemn face. , staring at Xia Jun's Panlong Water Village in the distance, and said:

"Who is the commander-in-chief of the Xia army here?"

The army on the side joined the army and hurried out to report:
"Back to Commander, the chief general of the Panlong Water Village is serving as the Lieutenant of Xia Guoli, named Yin Anping. He was a small soldier in the army, fighting all the way to the position of Lieutenant. He has an eighth-level cultivation, He is best at using knives. Known for his bravery, he has a high prestige among the generals at the bottom of the Xia Army."

The so-called Captain Li Yu was no more than a middle-level general in Xia Guojun.But even so, Wu Zixu knew him very well.

From this point of view, we know that the two countries have not really fought each other, and the Yun army has already won by three points!

Hearing the report of joining the army, Wu Zixu nodded slightly, and murmured:

"Yin Anping..."

Speaking of this, Wu Zixu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly:

"Such generals and schools have both bravery and force. Even if they don't know the art of war and don't know how to dispatch troops, they are still the morale and bloody courage of Xia's army! In the future, if we meet on the battlefield, if there is someone who can take the head First class!"

Why did the army of the Li Dynasty collapse immediately?Why is it that there is still territory, troops, and people's hearts, but in the end they can only surrender?

It is because of the previous several national wars that among the Li army, such middle-level generals were killed and injured.As for the waiter, Chen Feng, who was the commander-in-chief of the Li army, died again, and the soul of the army was also lost.From now on, there is no longer any power to counter the army of the Yun Kingdom!

It was also because of this that Wu Zixu specifically mentioned this middle-ranking general of the Xia Army just now.

But hearing Wu Zixu's words, the eyes of all the generals of the cloud army beside him suddenly lit up, and they said one after another:
"Don't worry, Commander, in today's battle, the last general will kill Yin Anping here!"

"The last general is willing to be the first to ascend, and present this person's head before the commander-in-chief." …

Wu Zixu heard the words, but his eyes moved slightly, and he reprimanded in a deep voice:
"Don't forget, today is just a pretentious test!"

When the generals heard the words, the act of asking for a fight suddenly stopped, and they shrank back somewhat resentfully.

Wu Zixu made such a big commotion today, he really didn't want to send troops at this time.

Xia Guo mobilized troops from the front line to go to Hailing County and Qidi County to suppress the bandits. The front line defenses were often mobilized, which attracted attention.

In fact, the situation of Xia Jun's mobilization this time was already known to Yun Guo through the information transmitted by Zhong Zizhuo and Liao Gu.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

However, Xia Jun's front line was mobilized again and again, and it would be extremely strange if there was no response from Yunguo.

Therefore, today Wu Zixu commanded the army and came out in full force, acting as if he sent troops to attack Xia.

It is said to be a test, but in fact, today's trip is to practice soldiers and horses, and it can be regarded as a play before the official attack on Xia.

Secondly, he intentionally gave Liao Gu a military exploit. After all, the higher his military rank and the more trust he gained, the better it would be for Yunguo!
Stopping the nonsense of the generals, Wu Zixu loosened his brows slightly, and continued to shout:
"Send an order that the navy's vanguard warships approach the Panlong Water Village, shoot with bows and crossbows, and kill Xia's army in the Water Village."

"Furthermore, on both sides of the strait, [-] elite soldiers from each point will besiege Banbi Mountain and Tianjia Town!"

"The ministries don't need to attack by force, they only need to force the Xia army to fight back and check the strength of the battalions in Panlong Water Village."

All the generals clasped their fists together and shouted loudly:

"The last general is waiting, follow the dispatch!"

The next moment, the drums of the Central Army changed, and the flags of various colors flew continuously, conveying Wu Zixu's military orders.

The cloud army, water, land and soldiers immediately reacted.

The soldiers and horses on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, each with five thousand soldiers and horses, left the ranks of the army and went to surround the second north and south battalions of Panlong Water Village.

On the surface of the river, more than a dozen tall warships rushed out directly, and under the blessing of the vision of the giant whale army, they rushed towards the iron chain above the river.

Only a strange sound of "bang" was heard. The formation formed by the masters of the Xia Kingdom who used iron cables to lock the Yangtze River across the Yangtze River was under the impact of the giant whale vision of the Yunjun Navy. It kept circling, radiating blue light, and firmly resisted the impact of the navy.

At the same time, the bows and arrows on the naval warships disappeared, and they shot out one after another, shooting towards the battalions of the Xia army's water village.

The Yun army on both sides of the Yangtze River is also encircling the Xia army camp on both sides of the river.

In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing resounded between heaven and earth.Billowing wolf smoke, suddenly rising.The awe-inspiring killing spirit seemed to dye the world with blood.

Although Wu Zixu didn't make a move with all his strength, he was just trying to make a move.

But even if it's just the forward of the cloud army, it's the land and water armies attacking together, and both sides of the north and south are attacking together.

For the Panlong Water Village, it is surrounded by enemies!The deployment of troops was underwhelming, and the various camps could only grit their teeth and resist. Naturally, they felt extremely strenuous.

Among the cloud army in the distance, the generals frowned slightly as they watched the Xia army struggling to resist relying on the camp's favorable location and the natural danger of the Yangtze River. …

If he is so tenacious, if he really comes to attack in the future, he will probably lose a lot of elites in this Panlong Water Village!
Wu Zixu was speechless, quietly looking at Xia Jun's water village in the distance, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, with generals like Yin Anping around, the morale of the Xia army can be maintained, and it will not be so easy to be defeated...

Because the Yun army was just testing, the morale of the Xia army did not collapse. The two sides fought for a long time, but still made no progress.

All the generals of the cloud army couldn't help but said:

"Marshal, the situation is so anxious, why don't you order a strong attack and take this Panlong Water Village directly!"

"Marshal, the last general is willing to be the vanguard."

"Please Commander Commander!"

Wu Zixu's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Why didn't he want to send troops directly, invade Jinling, and destroy the Xia State Sheji Ancestral Temple?

But the foundation of the Xia Kingdom is deep, and the hearts of the people still exist. How can this war of destroying the country be so easy to fight!

Patience today is for the sake of destroying Xia Kingdom faster in the future, so it is worth it!
Seeing that Wu Zixu didn't speak, all the generals couldn't help saying:

"If you don't want to attack by force, the commander-in-chief should let the army withdraw. As soon as the Xia army should set up defenses, it should have been investigated clearly by this time."

"If we continue to delay, the soldiers will suffer more damage for nothing, and I'm afraid it will be bad for the morale of the army!"

Indeed, if you don't want to directly attack by force, you should directly order a retreat at this time.

But Wu Zixu had already pursed his lips, with a cold face, and said in a deep voice:
"wait!"

Naturally, no one in the army would dare to violate Wu Zixu's prestige.Seeing Wu Zixu's insistence, the generals did not dare to persuade him any more, and could only bow their heads and obey orders.

And at this moment, the sound of roaring horseshoes came from the opposite side!
To the east of Panlong Water Village, smoke and dust billowed in.

The soldiers of the Xia army in the water village looked behind them.

Immediately, he saw the banner of Marshal Liaogu of Hanchuan Marquis, surrounded by thousands of cavalry, continuously surging and flying towards the tens of thousands of cloud troops ahead without hesitation.

Although there were only a few thousand cavalrymen, the fearless, death-defying aura made people's blood surge up involuntarily.

"It's handsome!"

"The Marquis of Hanchuan is here, the Marquis of Hanchuan is here!"

The soldiers of the Xia army in the Panlong water stronghold suddenly boosted their morale and shouted in unison.

Liao Gu, Marquis of Hanchuan, is the only famous general in the Xia army who has fought against Wu Zixu and achieved many gains. He actually came to the front line at this time!
As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

Although Liao Gu's arrival only led thousands of cavalry, it injected a force into Panlong Water Village, who had the ambition to die!
Xia Jun, who had been fighting hard to resist, was even more tenacious at this time. He stubbornly resisted Yun Jun's arrows and missed, and refused to retreat.

Until now, seeing Liao Gu's appearance, the sullen Wu Zixu finally let go and said:
"Order, retreat!"

Hearing the order to retreat, some generals were unwilling. They stared at Xia Jun's banner ahead, their eyes were red, and said:

"Commander, it's Xia Jun's coach Liao Gu! He actually brought only this few people here..."

Although he didn't finish the whole sentence, the meaning of wanting to kill the general and seize the commander was revealed without intention, which attracted the hearts of all the generals. …

They didn't know that the well-known Marquis of Han Chuan in the Xia army was actually an undercover agent in Yunguo.What's more, today's scene was originally done for Liao Gu.

At this time, they only saw the credit for beheading Xia Jun's coach!
Hearing this, Wu Zixu frowned, his eyes flashed coldly, he glanced at the generals coldly, and said sharply:
"The commander-in-chief said, retreat!"

When the generals heard the words, they immediately came to their senses, bowed their heads to Wu Zixu and saluted with sympathy.

"The last general is in a daze... Liao Gu is a famous general of the Xia Kingdom, how could he easily take risks?"

"Yes, this must be Xia Jun's trick!"

"The last general will wait until he realizes his mistake, please forgive me, Marshal!"

Based on Wu Zixu's current reputation and prestige, naturally no one would think that he can't fight.

Seeing Wu Zixu's strong opposition, the generals felt that there must be his reasons, and subconsciously reflected on the mistakes of themselves and others.Naturally, I felt that this was the strategy of Xia Jun coach Liao Gu.

Wu Zixu would not explain anything to the generals, so he said with a sullen face:
"Today's test is over, withdraw the troops!"

"Yes!" All the generals shouted in unison.

The military order was issued, and the sound of Mingjin sounded, and the water, land and cloud army who went to test it finally retreated slowly.

In the Panlong Water Village, there was a burst of cheers, and the morale was so high that it could be seen with the naked eye!

Wu Zixu rode on the horse and looked at the Panlong water village in front of him from a distance. When he saw Liao Gu's soldiers and horses pouring into the water village camp amidst the cheers of the generals of the Xia army, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth ...
