Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 238 Waterloo

After Lu Huaiqi sat alone in the tent and read the military books for two hours, he recruited several generals who were still staying in Binzhou City into the tent, and together they discussed raising troops to counterattack the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Several generals entered the tent and looked at Lu Huaiqi, who was sitting on the main seat, feeling a little terrified, including the deserting general before.

In the middle of the camp was a sand table that simulated the terrain inside and outside Binzhou. After they entered, they stood on both sides of the sand table and looked at the sand table without saying a word.

It can be seen from the sand table that Binzhou's dangerous terrain is surrounded by mountains on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The reason why the Northern Qi army has been entrenched outside and has been unable to attack for a long time is because if they want to invade Binzhou, they must first climb a high mountain to see the Xiliang army, and the top of that mountain has long been destroyed. The army in Binzhou was occupied. As soon as the Northern Qi people climbed up the mountain, a round of rolling stones would be thrown from above. Besides being careful of the rolling stones above, they also had to be careful, worrying about whether there would be trouble in the rear. Raided.

Therefore, in the past few days, although there are few left-behind soldiers here in Binzhou, they have resisted the covetous Northern Qi army.

After they came in, Lu Huaiqi remained silent. After seeing the different looks of the generals, his expression was indifferent, and he could not see happiness or anger.

When his gaze caught sight of the deserting general who had been staring at the sand table engrossed, he suddenly asked, "Xu She, after watching it for so long, what do you think about raising troops to counterattack?" Standing up in his position, the entire camp was immediately filled with a strong sense of oppression. He said in a normal tone, "If you really have a good strategy, you might as well say it and let everyone listen. Now that the Northern Qi army is suppressing the situation, It's an urgent time, so you don't have to hold yourself back so much, and you can speak up if you have any opinions."

Looking at the few people standing beside the sand table, he said, "This is not only for Xu Amnesty, but also for everyone here."

Those people all looked terrified, but Xu She suddenly raised his head, glanced at the terrain on the sand table, and then seemed to think for a while, and said carefully, "Back to the nine thousand years old, the general thought that the Northern Qi army was here. The outside of the city has always wanted to attack the city, but they couldn't get in along the mountains here." He pointed to the high mountain on the edge of Binzhou on the sand table, paused, and then continued, "We have already occupied this mountain. , It is difficult for them to attack these days, and now we have more elite troops brought by you, I think we can leave some of our troops to defend the city, while the rest of the army will go out to fight."

When Xu She said this, he seemed a little indignant, "Over the past few days, the commander of the Northern Qi Army, Xue Can, has been yelling and insulting us outside Binzhou, calling our Xiliang army a defeated general, weak and incompetent, everyone has held back for a long time. The fire in my stomach, now that I have confidence, I can go out and vent my anger, and let the Northern Qi army see how powerful our Xiliang army is!"

These words sounded very encouraging, and the rest of the generals raised their heads and glanced at him, thinking to themselves, this Xu She usually seems to have no courage, but when he saw that Binzhou couldn't keep it, he even did it. The deserter, I didn't expect to be able to say such refreshing words now.

How did he gain a lot of blood after being a deserter?At that time, they all despised Xu She, who was the first to desert, and when they were filled with righteous indignation, they also scolded him for being cowardly and treacherous.

Now that he returned to the team again, he was brought back by Lu Huaiqi. Could it be that he was just confused for a while, and now he has lost his way again.

They didn't know that Xu Amnesty took everyone to ask for a heavy punishment of fifty army sticks in front of Lu Huaiqi to prove his loyalty.

The other small soldiers all received fifty army sticks, but he, the leader general, received one hundred army sticks.

Fortunately, the army brought the golden sore medicine made by Jia Zhen, otherwise, they would have been beaten with so many army sticks, and they would have been disabled even if they did not die.

After Xu She finished those inspiring words, seeing the silence in the tent, he closed his mouth in embarrassment, with a bit of shame on his face.

Lu Huaiqi didn't care about his expression, but shook his head at his words. With their current strength, they still don't have much chance of winning against the overwhelming Northern Qi army outside. Such words are really a bit shameless.

"With our current strength, it is still difficult to compete with the Northern Qi army. Now we can't fight recklessly, we should just outsmart them. What good strategies do you have?"

As soon as Lu Huaiqi said this, Xu She bowed his head and remained silent, while the rest of the people glanced at him secretly, feeling a little contemptuous in their hearts.

However, now is not the time to pay attention to these insignificant matters, the most important thing is to discuss a countermeasure against the enemy as soon as possible.

At the third watch of the month, Lu Huaiqi finally came up with a plan.

"One-third of the troops in Binzhou are left behind, and the remaining two-thirds of the troops are divided into two groups, bypassing the mountain from both sides, outflanking the Northern Qi army from the side, and dispersing their forces. Then break down one by one." Lu Huaiqi pointed to the terrain on the sand table, and determined the final combat strategy.

Several generals obeyed their orders and left their tents one after another.

Xu Amnesty returned to his tent, sat down, and thought about what Lu Huaiqi said just now, he smiled silently, with a strange look in his eyes.

Taking the pen and paper, he quickly wrote a few lines on the paper, and dried the ink. He hurriedly had someone secretly send out the paper.

The letter was not sent to any other place, but to Xue Can's camp outside Binzhou.

As soon as the messenger left, Xu She lay down on the bed with a smug expression on his face.

There was no hope for Binzhou to hold on anymore. Even if Lu Huaiqi was [-] years old, he would not have the ability to let their broken troops fight against the Northern Qi army outside.

The Northern Qi army is like a fierce tiger, and sooner or later their iron hooves will attack the entire West Liang.

He, Xu She, has always been a believer who knows the current affairs and is a hero. Those foolish and loyal people think that they are patriotic and sincere, but in his eyes, that is stupid!
He led his troops back to Xue Can early on, and Xue Can promised that as long as he helped him with affairs and lured Lu Huaiqi into a trap, then when Lu Huaiqi died in the future and their Northern Qi army was done, his benefits would definitely be indispensable.

Thinking that one day in the future, he might also be able to get a first-rank official to work. Thinking of this, he almost woke up laughing from a dream, God really treated him so kindly!
On the second day, after Lu Huaiqi had arranged all the military affairs in Binzhou City, he led a group of troops around the mountains, preparing to make a surprise attack from the rear of the Northern Qi army.

Looking at the camp of the Northern Qi army in the distance, Lu Huai reined in his horse and stopped, feeling something was wrong.

Ning Chi and Qin Xin were also a little uneasy. The army over there looked a little too quiet, and there was something wrong.

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes, as if he had opened the door to welcome them.

Raising his hand, he told the army to stop for the time being. The situation ahead was unknown, so it was time not to move forward rashly.You must know that the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is to advance aggressively, because if you don't notice it for a while, you may fall into the enemy's trap.

Ning Chi looked at the Northern Qi army, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. He thought so, and Lu Huaiqi was even more so.

With an order, let the army withdraw first, and then wait and see.

In the army behind, some people secretly wondered why they came here so early in the morning, but now they suddenly said that they would withdraw. They really don't understand what the nine thousand years old are thinking.

But despite this, the military order is like a mountain, no matter what thoughts they have in mind, they still have to act according to the order and withdraw quickly.

But it didn't take long for them to wonder why they understood why Lu Huaiqi asked them to withdraw.

Because, a group of black-armored iron cavalry came from behind, it was the Northern Qi army, and a group of menacing Northern Qi army also came to the south of them.

They were surrounded.

Lu Huai frowned, looking at the Northern Qi army coming on both sides with billowing dust, his heart sank, he had fallen into the trap of the enemy.There must be traitors in the army.

Suddenly, he thought of Xu She.

That's right, the deserter general who happened to appear on his way to Binzhou, he was careless.

Xue Can led the black armored army behind him, and looked at Lu Huaiqi who was trapped in his encirclement, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a sinister gleam appeared in his eyes.

No matter how you, Lu Huaiqi, called the wind and rain in Xiliang and covered the sky with one hand, you will still become the defeat of my Xue Can when you come to the battlefield here!

He joined the army at the age of 12, and fought with the army on the battlefield, stepping on the blood and bones of the soldiers. The battlefield is where he is shocked, and no one can beat him here.

Lu Huaiqi led his army to the edge of a dangerous cliff. Looking at the invisible cliff behind him, Lu Huaiqi felt a little heavy in his heart. If the entire army died here today, it would be his responsibility.

Xue Can reined in his horse and looked at Lu Huaiqi with a smile. He raised his chin and said proudly, "Lu Huaiqi, the nine-thousand-year-old Xiliang, you said that you don't want to stay in Liangjing City and enjoy your glory Wealthy and high-ranking officials and generous salary, what are you doing here at the border of this barren land? If you don’t pay attention, you will die in a river of blood. Tell me, what are you doing to suffer this crime for nothing, and drag it down? There are so many people." He shook his head, "Tsk tsk, it's really... harming others and ourselves!"

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and signaled the archers behind him to shoot arrows at them.

In an instant, black rain-like ink arrows splashed towards Lu Huaiqi and them.Lu Huaiqi and the other soldiers drew out their swords to shoot down the arrow feathers, but the opponent was so numerous that the archers took turns to go into battle, and the black arrows shot over one after another. Some people gradually became unable to parry and died from the arrows .

Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the wind and shot towards Lu Huai with unstoppable force.

Seeing this, Ning Chi hurried over to help Lu Huaiqi shoot down the arrow, but then another cold arrow pierced his back. He tilted his body, and he was already close to the cliff, but now he fell down.

At the critical moment, Lu Huai hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.
