Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 368 Unbreakable
At dusk, the entire coalition camp was silent, only the shrill cries of jackdaws echoed over the camp.

The news of the disastrous defeat of the border army hung over everyone's hearts like a dark cloud. The sergeants gathered around the bonfire to keep warm in silence.

The enemy camp on the opposite side was jubilant, and the biting cold wind brought the faint sound of drums, obviously celebrating the victory.

Qiu Liming is in charge of patrolling the camp tonight.After checking all the sentry posts, he stood on the watchtower and stared at the opposite camp irritably, but still couldn't hold back, he patted the railing, causing the snow on the railing to fall down.

"My lord, why don't you allow a surprise attack on the enemy's camp?" He turned to the lieutenant behind him and said, "The enemy is clearly getting carried away and neglects to take precautions. If we sneak past at night, we will surely catch them by surprise."

The lieutenant general said: "General Qiu, my lord has said it. Stealing camp is useful for those stupid and conceited enemies, but it is ineffective against Xiao Beiheng."

"How come, when he besieged Shengjing before, didn't the lord use a lot of tricks?"

"My lord said that after those tactics were used, Xiao Beiheng understood how to deal with them. Xiao Beiheng is a very smart person. When he besieged Shengjing, he suffered a lot from underestimating the enemy. This time he fought steadily and in no hurry. The lord has no room to take advantage of."

Qiu Liming sighed and was about to go downstairs when the lieutenant suddenly whispered: "General Qiu, if this continues, can we win?"

Hearing the lieutenant general's question, Qiu Liming turned around abruptly, grabbed the lieutenant general's collar, and said in a low voice, "Keep your mouth shut, and don't disturb the morale of the army."

The deputy general pushed up his helmet that covered his eyes and said, "General Qiu, the last general is not worried about our way. The master's strategy is unparalleled in the world, and our army cannot fail. But once General Zhao's way is defeated, the enemy can immediately attack us." The army is attacking."

"Of course I will remind the lord of this matter." Qiu Liming let go of the lieutenant general and walked downstairs, "Keep watch carefully, if you find the enemy stealing the camp, immediately call Jin Jin to warn."

The lieutenant straightened his collar and said, "Don't worry, General Qiu, if there is even the slightest mistake, the villain will come and see you."

Qiu Liming nodded in praise, turned around and got off the ladder, and walked quickly to the brightly lit Chinese army tent in the distance.

The deputy general's concerns are not unreasonable, he represents the general mentality of the current coalition generals.Everyone trusted Xiao Zhuo very much, but they were all worried about Zhao Mu's way. If the border army was defeated in the next attack, the coalition forces would face the unfavorable situation of flanking front and back.

He walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, inside the big tent with bright lights, stood dozens of generals, none of them took off their armor, and they formed a circle covered in dust, looking at Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi who were standing in front of the map She also stood beside Mei Dai, Queen of Xiliang, listening to Xiao Zhuo's explanation of the situation.

"General Zhao fought very well in the first two battles, especially the second battle," Xiao Zhuo pointed to the map, "not only wiped out [-] enemy troops, but also captured the enemy's camp and captured the enemy's general Yan Yilong."

Shen Yuexi quietly pulled Lamedai's sleeve: "Sister Mei, who is Yan Yilong?"

She asked Wei Liang about the battle before, but Wei Liang didn't know whether he felt ashamed or something, he hesitated and refused to tell, so she had to come to this military meeting to observe.

Mei Dai said softly: "After General Zhao Mu was dismissed and imprisoned by Xiao Beiheng, this Yan Yilong was the general who led the Northern Army in his place. When we retreated to Leshan County, it was he who led the Northern Army to chase us and was defeated by us three times."

"It turned out to be him," Shen Yuexi said, "It seems that he has the trust of my brother."

Mei Dai said: "Yan Yilong is the general of the Dingbei Army, and Xiao Beiheng's trusted confidant. In order to weaken the influence of General Zhao Mu, Xiao Beiheng replaced most of the generals in the army with his confidants."

"That's strange. The opponent's coach has been captured by us. How did General Zhao Mu lose?"

Mei Dai lightly touched her arm, signaling her to listen to Xiao Zhuo's speech.

"...In the third battle, General Zhao Mu thought that the opponent's army would be in a state of confusion without a commander. He wanted to win a single battle, so he sent [-] troops to split into two groups to attack the enemy, leaving [-] troops to defend the camp. Ten thousand armies are in the middle to support them."

When Xiao Zhuo said this, his tone became heavy: "But not long after the attack, the enemy suddenly killed a cavalry, regardless of the troops on both sides of the attack, directly charged at General Zhao's central army, and General Zhao's army could not resist the defeat. But when they returned, the enemy took the opportunity to cut off the retreat of the [-] soldiers..."

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand why 4 people were lost in World War I.It turned out that the enemy rushed directly into the central army where Zhao Mu was stationed, which was equivalent to attacking the brains of the border army.After Zhao Mu was defeated and retreated, the 4 people were blocked from retreating and turned into a mess of loose sand, which naturally allowed the enemy to make dumplings.

Shen Lan said: "The opponent's cavalry is so powerful that they can charge all the way into General Zhao's central army?"

Mei Dai was also puzzled and said: "General Zhao Mu has experienced hundreds of battles. The Chinese army he is in must have been heavily defended. How could the opponent easily break through the defense line?"

The rest of the generals in the tent also started talking in low voices, as if they didn't quite believe it.

Xiao Zhuo raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "There is nothing wrong with General Zhao's tactics, but his central army was crushed by the opponent's cavalry, which is the main reason for this defeat. And the enemy's cavalry, It's something we've never met before."

Shen Yuexi raised her hand and said, "Husband, what kind of cavalry is the opponent?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "They call it Iron Buddha Tu, and there are about [-] soldiers. The soldiers are all in heavy armor, only their eyes are exposed, and even the horses are also wearing heavy armor. After the battle, they only injured more than ten people, which is really powerful. .”

Hearing this, everyone in the tent exploded.

Qiang Lin said with disbelief on his face: "In one battle, only a dozen were injured, isn't it unbelievable?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said: "General Wei Liang's description may be exaggerated, but the defeat of the border army is also true. Now General Zhao Mu asks us to send troops to support, and I am thinking about what to do."

A general said angrily: "He still asked us to support? We only have 5 people, and we have to deal with [-] enemy troops. How can we support them? If we deploy troops to support them, how can we resist the attack from the opposite side?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several generals nodded in agreement.

Mei Dai said: "Gentlemen, please be quiet for now, let Mei Dai say a few words."

Everyone admired Mei Dai very much, and when they saw her stand up, they immediately fell silent.

"The opponent has the Tiefutu, and General Zhao Mu can't fight against it. If we go on like this, the border army on the North Road will be wiped out sooner or later," Mei Dai said calmly, "At that time, our entire army will be wiped out, and we must rescue them, and we must do so quickly. "

"Sister Mei is right!" Shen Yuexi clapped her hands and applauded Mei Dai, "General Zhao still has 5 troops. If he doesn't care, these 5 people will be wiped out."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Zhuo, who also nodded in approval.

A general said: "The opponent's Iron Buddha is so powerful, how can we save it?"

Qiu Liming stood up and said: "What kind of iron Buddha slaughters iron rabbits? Qiu doesn't believe that they can stop our continuous crossbow." After speaking, he turned to Xiao Zhuo and said, "My lord, the last general is not talented, and I would like to take five thousand soldiers with me." Crossbowmen go to rescue General Zhao Mu."

Shen Yuexi also waved her fist and said, "Yes, shoot them all on their backs."

She has full confidence in the Liannu made by Big Bear, and believes that it will definitely help Zhao Mu get out of the predicament.

Shen Lan said with some concern: "Our army has only [-] Liannu. If we send all of them to rescue General Zhao Mu, once the enemy rushes over, we will have to fight hand to hand."

Since the battle, the Liannu that can shoot through wooden shields has always been the pinnacle of Dinghai. Even if the infantry suffers a loss in battle, they can retreat calmly.

Xiao Zhuo said: "It doesn't matter, our army has temporarily suspended the card of avoiding battle for the past few days, dug deep ditches, and set up more repelling horses. General Qiu sent five thousand crossbowmen to rescue General Zhao. It is not too late. We must call up the army now and wait until nightfall. Set off."

After the generals dispersed, Qiu Liming rectified the crossbowmen, left the coalition army camp in the dark, and headed north.

Standing on the watchtower, Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo watched the five thousand crossbowmen disappear into the darkness, and said to Xiao Zhuo, "My lord, where did the iron pagoda come from? Why have you never seen my brother use it before?"

Xiao Zhuo looked pensively, as if he was talking to himself: "The opponent's soldiers are wearing heavy armor, and the horses are also wearing heavy armor. In this way, ordinary bows and crossbows can't penetrate at all. No wonder General Zhao Mu will be defeated... Maybe it's my brother. Prepared in secret."

Shen Yuexi put her hands to her mouth and gasped, buried her head in Xiao Zhuo's arms and said, "Husband, it's cold, let's go back and rest."

Xiao Zhuo touched her icy hair affectionately, took off his cloak and added another layer to her, and said, "I heard from Doctor Hua that our baby is all right?"

The two went down to the watchtower, and Shen Yuexi leaned in his arms and walked slowly towards the bed tent, saying, "Of course, I was worried at first."

"Then take a good rest and stop running around." Xiao Zhuo smiled and stretched out his finger to scratch her nose.Shen Yuexi wrinkled her nose and made a face for Xiao Zhuo: "It's such a cold day, you don't need to say that I will obediently stay in the camp."

One night passed, and in the morning, Xiao Beiheng sent troops out to fight as usual, Xiao Zhuo didn't send troops to fight as usual, but ordered people to hang up the exemption card.

After Shen Yuexi finished her breakfast, she planned to go to see Xiao Zhuo's training of soldiers. As soon as she walked out of the tent, Mei Dai hurried over and said, "Sister, the armor has been delivered, it's in the school grounds, let's go and see it."

"What armor?" Shen Yuexi didn't understand for a while.

"It's the opponent's Tiefutu soldiers." Mei Dai took her hand and rushed towards the school field, "Didn't General Zhao Mu wound more than a dozen of the opponent's soldiers, and took off their armor and transported them to us just now?" Shipped. Also, who do you think is the leader of the opposing Tiefutu?"

"Who?"

"Doctor You and Magistrate Jiao."

"No way!" Shen Yuexi came out with countless question marks, "Doctor You is the village doctor of Daliang Village, and County Magistrate Jiao is the county magistrate of Tongliao. How did these two old men become the generals of Tiefutu?"

"Sister," Mei Dai smiled and nudged her, "They are all Pei Jingyun's subordinates, you forgot. This Tiefutu is obviously an army that Pei Jingyun built secretly." Only then did Shen Yuexi suddenly realize.

Before the two came to the school field, they saw a shelf in the middle of the school field. The bottom was in the shape of a horse, and the top was in the shape of a man. They had already put on a set of all-black iron armor, shining in the morning sun, quite Majestic momentum.Xiao Zhuo stood fifty paces away with Shen Lan and other generals, talking about something.

Shen Yuexi and Mei Dai came to Xiao Zhuo together, Shen Yuexi said: "Husband, is this the armor of Tiefutu?"

"That's right," Xiao Zhuo said to the sergeant standing beside him holding a crossbow, "shoot the arrow."

The sergeant picked up the crossbow and pulled the trigger, only to hear three "swish, swish" sounds, and the three crossbow arrows flew out, shooting at the wooden dummy's head, chest and abdomen, and the chest of the horse respectively.

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!None of the three crossbow arrows penetrated the iron armor, and all bounced and fell to the ground.

Shen Yuexi took a breath and shouted: "Oops!"
