Chapter 381
Soon, the news of the fall of Dingxi City spread to Beishan County, which immediately caused a commotion.Even Lin Yifan did not expect that Dingxi City would be breached at this time.Now the army is rectifying its soldiers and horses in Beishan County City, training the rebels, and everything is not ready yet.

The surviving Dingxi Army can be said to be without a leader. Once Murong Jing died, the entire Murong family fell into chaos.The Murong family, which was normally united, suddenly fell into the vortex of fighting for power and profit.All factions supported their own strength, making the remaining [-] Dingxi Army a mess.

For this, Lin Yifan was very angry. He was still fighting for the immediate interests. If Shazhou was gone, what was the point of their fighting for it?Moreover, with the disintegration of these Dingxi armies, the strength against the Eternal Army was suddenly weakened by [-]%, which greatly affected his plan to defeat the Eternal Army.

With the continuous delivery of information, Lin Yifan gradually learned the details of the last battle in Dingxi City, and felt both admiration and sadness for Murong Jing in his heart.At the same time, he was filled with anger. If it weren't for the betrayal of those noble families in the city who were greedy for life and afraid of death, Dingxi City would not have fallen so quickly.

Immediately, the angry Lin Yifan immediately sent people to search and arrest the families and merchants who fled back a few days ago, and tried their crimes in front of the people in the city.Amid the indignant cries of the people in the city, they were all dragged out and chopped down.

After calming down, Lin Yifan began to think about how to deal with the unstoppable Eternal Army.Since Dingxi City was broken, the Eternal Army used this city as their base and added 20 troops from outside the Tianmen Pass.Today, more than [-] people in Dingxi City have been captured by the Eternal Army, and they intend to hold these captives as cannon fodder.And with the current Hengshan Army of [-] people, there are still [-] rebels who have not yet been trained into an army, and [-] Dingxi Army who are scattered.Although the number of soldiers and horses is almost the same, the difference in combat power is so great that people can't have any confidence in victory.

During the military discussion, Lin Yifan looked around at the crowd and asked worriedly: "Everyone, the situation is very bad for us now that the enemy is strong and we are weak. The enemy has kidnapped 20 people. If we hold on to the county, we may only It can be consumed here. Everyone, what should we do next?"

Everyone's faces were equally heavy. Facing such a powerful enemy, everyone was helpless.

After a long time, Shi Shouyi stood up, hesitatingly said: "My lord, maybe we can use the old wisdom of resisting the Northern Expedition to attack instead of defending, attack the rear, cut off its food supply, and make it collapse without fighting."

Lin Yifan pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but shook his head, "This plan is not feasible. The Eternal Army is different from the Northern Expedition Army of the imperial court. This time they kidnapped more than 20 people, which is enough to consume our military equipment and combat power in a short period of time. Moreover, they can definitely Surrounding us and sending troops to attack other places is enough to support the war."

"Here, this subordinate is not thinking carefully, please forgive me." Shi Shouyi was slightly taken aback, and said involuntarily.

"Commander Shi doesn't need to blame himself. In this military meeting, you should let everyone use their imaginations and admonish the strategy." Lin Yifan comforted with a slight smile.

Afterwards, several generals stood up to make suggestions, but Lin Yiran vetoed them one by one.At this time, Hou Mingfeng stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this subordinate thinks that our army should take the initiative to attack..."

"What, take the initiative to attack? Are you kidding me? The Eternal Army now has more than 20 people. We put together all kinds of people, and the round combat power is not their opponent?"

"That's right. General Hou's words are too arrogant, right? Although our Hengshan Army can fight, we can't sacrifice like this for nothing, can we?"

"General Hou, our Hengshan army is different from the imperial army. We only fight battles that are prepared and we are sure. We will never play games with the lives of our brothers rashly." . . .

Before Hou Mingfeng finished speaking, everyone started to criticize Hou Mingfeng fiercely.From their point of view, this former court general was simply an idiot general, otherwise how could he be beaten into a mess by them?Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Yifan's sudden promotion of him as General Staff.The words he said now once again proved his stupid nature, and they couldn't help ridiculing them, so that adults could recognize Hou Mingfeng's true face.

Regarding this, Hou Mingfeng's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly listened to their mocking voices.Tang Rong's expression was gloomy, and he glared at the crowd angrily. If Hou Mingfeng hadn't firmly held him down, he might have jumped up and hit them.

A flash of anger flashed in Lin Yifan's eyes, he looked at the crowd coldly, and slammed the table, "Shut up! This officer said, everyone can speak freely during this military meeting, and there is no taboo. You are so embarrassing to your comrades in arms, Is it still my Hengshan soldier?"

All the generals were startled suddenly, there is such a regulation in Hengshan's military discipline, and they couldn't help apologizing one after another.

Lin Yifan snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Hou Mingfeng, and said apologetically, "General Hou, I made you laugh. I apologize to you on behalf of them."

"Your Excellency, you've offended your subordinates, and your subordinates dare not." Hou Mingfeng was taken aback, and quickly avoided his words.

The generals blushed, and it was a shame for them to ask adults to apologize to others on their behalf.So, everyone apologized to Hou Mingfeng one after another, hoping to get his forgiveness.

How could Hou Mingfeng care about these things, he quickly gave way to each other.

After solving this little episode, Lin Yifan asked Hou Mingfeng in satisfaction: "General Hou, I just heard what you said, our army should take the initiative to attack, can you explain in detail?"

Hou Mingfeng sorted out his thoughts before he said: "My lord, this subordinate believes that the Eternal Army has brought hundreds of thousands of people hostage. Although our army has a large number of troops, it is a mess of good and bad. If we adopt a defensive strategy, we must be controlled by others." The Eternal Army, the long-term battle situation is very unfavorable to us. There are two disadvantages. One is the rapid consumption of supplies and food, but there is no way to transport them. The other is internal instability, which will inevitably cause disaster. If we take the initiative to attack, the Eternal Army will not be able to use it The 20 people attacked the city. In the field battle, the disorderly people will only destroy their formation. Therefore, the only thing that can be used by the Eternal Army is their 20 soldiers and horses. And the troops we can currently gather are also Nearly 20, plus our gunpowder, the difference in strength is actually not that big, and it is completely possible to fight."

Lin Yifan pondered for a moment, his face still showing concern, "Although that is the case, as you said, our army is mixed, the rebel army was first established, and there was no tacit coordination in combat, and the Dingxi army is now caught in internal fighting, fearing the enemy like a tiger, not only It cannot be an arm, and it may become our burden. General Hou, in this case, how should we take the initiative?"

Hou Mingfeng smiled indifferently, with confidence in his mind, "My lord, the rebel army was founded, and it can only be used as an auxiliary soldier to assist our army in building positions and escorting supplies. When necessary, it can also be used as a supplement for our soldiers. In this way, our army can join forces. 15 soldiers and horses were dispatched to fight. As for the Dingxi Army, because of the civil strife, the various factions were fighting endlessly, and no faction could gain the upper hand and overwhelm everyone with strength. Therefore, they urgently need your support now, my lord. In this case, why don't you let me go Go out, the body and head of Old General Murong are in Dingxi City, as long as whoever can win Dingxi City and welcome back the old general's head, the adults will support whoever is the leader of the Dingxi Army. As far as my subordinates know, Old General Murong Jing The prestige in the Dingxi Army is unparalleled, as long as the adults make this request, they will definitely be recognized by the soldiers of the Dingxi Army."

"Well, that's a good idea, but Dingxi Army is not stupid. Let them attack the Eternal Army. I'm afraid no one will respond?" Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, and immediately said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is wise, yes, if the Eternal Army is entrenched in Dingxi City, the Dingxi Army will naturally not dare to go. But if we lead most of the Dingxi Army out of the city, with the [-] Dingxi Army, even if we can't take Dingxi City, It can also cause chaos in the rear of the Eternal Army, isn't this a great benefit to us?" Hou Mingfeng nodded, grinning and said, "In order to be able to sit on the position of the leader of the Dingxi Army, the various factions of the Murong family will definitely not care about it." Attack Dingxi City at all costs."

"This plan is very clever, what do you think?" Lin Yifan looked up at the crowd and asked.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling sincere admiration for Hou Mingfeng's bold and meticulous strategy in their hearts, and expressed no objection.

"Okay, let's go down and get ready for the army, and the whole army will start in three days!" Lin Yifan stood up and said loudly.

 Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
