Chapter 105

Before long, the sky had changed from dark dawn to crimson dawn. On the road to Lincang City, a team was running fast.

This team is tens of thousands of people, and from the uniform light leather armour and saber, it should only be the vanguard of the army. At this time, tens of thousands of cavalry are racing towards Lincang City. Each of these cavalry soldiers had a calm expression, had no language communication, and had been strictly trained.

When the team arrived ten miles outside Lincang City, the front team suddenly stopped moving forward. After a short period of chaos, the whole team soon returned to calm. All the cavalry stopped their horses. A messenger scout galloped to the flag of Xingtian, put his right hand on his left shoulder and saluted a beautiful figure under the flag, He said, "the highness of Lincang, the royal highness of nine Li, seems to have fallen, and the enemy troops have been deployed five miles outside the city to stop our army's way."

It turned out that the flag of Xingtian war was a male lion with golden hair. A woman was sitting on the back of the male lion. The woman was not a soldier as rough as a man, but a petite girl with a long skirt, like a hot flame, like a maple leaf in late autumn, wrapped her delicate figure, covered her face with a string of Pearl veil and a tassel feather cap. She turned out to be a young girl in the prime of her life. She put one hand in the lion's golden mane and stroked it gently. The golden bell on her wrist was shaking gently, making a clear and pleasant sound. The stalled lion was as gentle as a big cat under her hands.

The beautiful voice, like a warbler, came gently from under the Pearl curtain, "I know... Let the former Army stand by!" Then she raised her hand, patted the lion under the seat, and walked steadily forward. In front of her, the cavalry neatly separated a passage for three people, so that she and her mount could smoothly walk to the front line.

When she came to the front of the military array, she saw that there were thousands of troops hiding in the fog in front of her. But strangely, there was no sound, even the sound of breathing. In front of her, it was like a stone, a military array composed of huge stones.

But she knew that it was impossible, because in front of her was Lincang City of the Sanmiao tribe, which was a plain open land. In front of her were the soldiers of the Beidou Dynasty.

Her eyes, which were under the curtain of beads, blinked, as if she had some doubts. Maybe it was because of the fog, she could not feel the murderous air of the army in front of her, even the breath. She raised her left hand and kneaded a few formulas, but found that the tortoise shells that often fell out of her fingertips were intact, which obviously meant that she could not predict any results.

"Can't even my divination know their depth?" The girl raised her head with a faint confusion in her eyes“ Is it a suspect? "

Through the overlapping military array in front of her, the girl could see the cold light of the sword hidden in the thick fog.

"Your Highness, please let our warriors fight A young barbarian soldier standing next to the girl was dressed in leather armor made of thick cowhide. The leather on his chest was embroidered into the shape of a tiger's head with needle and thread. Such decoration represented his noble blood. He seemed to be eager to build up his military achievements. He raised his Sabre and said: "according to the soldiers who escaped from the city, the maximum number of northern soldiers attacking Lincang City will not be more than 20000. Now we all have 60000 people. Attack their army first, and when the follow-up troops arrive, they can recapture Lincang City in one fell swoop." Across the Pearl veil, he saw the girl's face for the first time appeared hesitant expression, can not help but urge: "our blood has boiling, just waiting for the God of torture to give their own sword and life!"

The girl shook her head slowly and said, "did you ever feel that there were horses leaving Lincang City?" The barbarian warrior turned over and got off his horse, bent down and put his ears on the ground. After listening to this, he stood up and shook his head and said, "Your Highness, there is no running sound of the northern people's war horses in a radius of tens of miles. The northern horses have long legs, and their running sounds are different from those of other horses. "

The girl nodded and continued to ask, "do you see the Jinggong hummingbird of northerners?"

"Back to your highness, I didn't see it." A barbarian soldier nearby replied.

The girl's voice was very low, but she said in a voice that no one could doubt: "the soldiers of the North started to fight from Zishi. To conquer Lincang City is bound to pay a lot of casualties. Now it's Chenshi. Even if they don't fight, the soldiers who can't get a rest will be exhausted. What's more, the soldiers who have been through life and death struggle consume a lot of physical strength, which is almost equal to no fighting force. We didn't pay attention to concealment when we were marching. In fact, I deliberately used a strategy to scare them away and recapture Lincang City without fighting. But they were very interesting. They actually set up troops in the front row of Lincang City to confront us. " She looked at the noble man beside her and asked, "Yan Tianzhi, if it were you, with less than 10000 tired soldiers in your hand, what kind of decision would you make in the face of at least six times your opponent?"

The noble man was asked by the girl, but he was caught off guard and quickly replied, "abandon the city and retreat!" But he quickly added: "but we can't rule out the possibility that the enemy has to stand up to us because they don't have time to retreat."

"If you were forced to stick to it, would you ask for help?" The girl continued to ask“ This... "The young soldier was stopped by the girl's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment“ What happens if you don't ask for help? " The girl shook her head, stretched out her right hand, pointed to the army array in front of her and said, "there are only two possibilities. One is that you are crazy, and the other is that... You are fully sure that you will eat the 60000 enemy troops coming." Her eyes suddenly became sharp: "in contrast, I prefer to believe in the latter, because madmen are a few people after all... If we take risks, we are stupid. Moreover, to say the least, if he really has only 10000 disabled soldiers, and he has the courage to set up such a lineup, I should admire him. " With a sigh, the girl looked thoughtfully at the wall of Lincang City and said, "I win ten battles. Once I lose, it will be a devastating blow to our army's morale. I can't lose, and I can't afford to lose... This madman has won. Let's go back! " After that, she patted the lion on the neck, and the fierce animal turned around meekly. The girl slipped down from its back, reached out her hand, stroked it in its mane, and whispered something in its ear. The lion raised his head, rubbed his body against her reluctantly, and then turned away from the army, Run to the grassland in the distance“ There's nothing to do when I go back. Don't bother my friend. " After the girl took a few steps, a knight led a horse to her and helped her to sit on it. She took another look at the foggy army line in front of her, sighed and ordered, "withdraw!" She didn't know that, at the same time, on the simple wooden platform set up in the center of the eight formations, a figure was watching their movements all the time. The young warrior, who was wearing a silver dragon helmet and Chain Armor, was holding a roll of colored flag in his right hand. At this time, his palm was full of sweat, and seemed ready for a fierce battle at any time. Gu fan had made the worst plan. Even if he was seen through by the other side, he forced to break into the formation. He used the restraint of the eight formations for cavalry, and the flexible changes of the eight formations of dragon, tiger, bird and snake. At least he wanted all the 60000 barbarian cavalry in front of him to stay. If the other side had reinforcements behind, he would have to die for his country. At this time, both sides did not move, nor did they make any sound. The whole world seemed to be lonely in this silent confrontation, only the sound of the wind, which was very harsh. At this time, Gu fan suddenly saw that the cavalry on the opposite side had changed from front to back, and even retreated. He just wanted to command the army to attack and take advantage of the fire, but found that the opposite side was extremely cautious in using the troops. During the confrontation, the 60000 cavalry were divided into 5000 people and 5000 people in a row, and retreated quietly. When Gu fan saw that the front-end cavalry had changed from back to back, The first cavalry to retreat was dozens of miles away from the position. When Gu fan saw this scene, he took back the red flag which he had already held in his hand. The wariness of the other side's use of troops was beyond his expectation. He had no doubt that once he chose to pursue and left, he would destroy the formation of the eight formations and expose his real military strength, The other side can gather tens of thousands of retreating cavalry in an instant to retreat and annihilate its 6000 remnant troops without mercy.
