Volume 10, Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Tiantu County has many hills and ditches. If the defending party arranges its defense in advance, it will have a great geographical advantage.

After Cui Tu led his army to Tiantu County, he immediately began to set up defenses in the ditch, building earth walls and blocking horses.

At this time, the ditch became a natural barrier for the An army, similar to the ditch, which could cause great resistance to the attacking party.

Although the terrain was favorable to him, Cui Tu still felt unsure. He had fought side by side with the Feng Army, and he knew how powerful the Feng Army was, and there were so many fierce generals in the Feng Army. Looking at his own side, there were only a handful of truly strong generals, and even fewer of them could be used by him. Only two generals, Su Yang and Qin Feng, were fully prepared.

In a head-on battle, even if both sides have equal strength and one's own side is on the defensive, the situation is still not optimistic. Cui Tu has been frowning for the past few days, thinking hard about how to fight the enemy, but he still can't think of a good way.

On this day, he was discussing military affairs with his generals in the military camp. A soldier from outside suddenly ran in, stepped in and saluted: "General, two people who claim to be Shenchi came outside the camp to ask for an audience!"

"Oh?" Cui Tu's heart suddenly moved, and he bowed subconsciously, and then said: "Please come quickly!"

"Yes! General!" the soldier agreed and hurried out of the central military tent.

When he left, Qin Feng on the side looked puzzled and said, "Strange, why did the people from Shenchi suddenly find our military camp?"

Cui Tu was also very curious, shrugged and said: "It's a blessing, not a curse, and you can't avoid it. Let's listen and see what they want!"

The generals nodded.

Not long after, two middle-aged men in their forties were led into the Chinese military tent by soldiers. Both of them are of medium build. One has a fair face and a dignified appearance, while the other has a slightly darker complexion and a rugged appearance.

The two of them stood in the central military tent and looked around for a week. Then, the white-faced middle-aged man looked at Cui Tu who was sitting in the middle with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "You must be General Cui Tu Cui!"

He called Cui Tu by his first name, which made the generals around him feel uncomfortable. However, considering his identity as a Shenchi man, they did not dare to stand up and reprimand him, and just stared at him coldly.

Cui Tu had the air of a general, so he didn't mind his rudeness. He nodded with a smile and said, "I am Cui Tu. I wonder who these two gentlemen are..."

"We are disciples of Grand Elder Huangfu, I am Lu Yong." "I am Ye Zhuo." Two middle-aged men, one with a smile and the other with a cold face, said unhurriedly.

Yo! He is a disciple of Huangfu Xiutai! Cui Tu and General An were both shocked. These two people are not ordinary disciples of Shenchi. Huangfu Xiutai is the great elder of Shenchi. His disciples are definitely considered nobles in Shenchi.

"It turns out it's Mr. Lu and Mr. Ye. I've admired their names for so long. I'm disrespectful!" Cui Tu stood up politely and bowed his hands to them. Then he asked, "I don't know why these two gentlemen are here to visit." Why?"

Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo looked at each other, and the former asked: "The army of the Feng Kingdom pressed Cui Tu to take a breath, pondered for a moment, and said: "We can resist the Feng army by holding on to the danger. "

"Yes!" Lu Yong nodded and said: "When we came, my two brothers specially checked the defense of your army. It was indeed strong. If it were an ordinary enemy army, it might be more than enough to defend, but against the wind The army, I’m afraid, is a little lacking, right?”

There are indeed shortcomings! Cui Tu nodded secretly, but there was still a look of confusion on his face, and said: "Please give me a clear explanation from Mr. Lu."

Lu Yong smiled and said: "The people who invaded Tiantu County were the direct army and the Ninth Army of Feng Kingdom. The commander of the Ninth Army, Qi Heng Lingwu, was strong, brave and good at fighting. In addition, I heard that Jiang Fan and General Zhan Hu had also been deployed. Among the direct armies, does General Cui have any rivals among these three?"

What he said struck a chord with Cui Tu. The An army and the Feng army were equally matched in strength, and they had the advantage of geographical location. Their only weakness was the lack of strong generals. They only had three generals: Qi Heng, Jiang Fan, and Zhan Hu. If you pick one out, it's enough for An Jun to drink a pot.

Cui Tu sighed secretly, leaned forward and said, "What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true. This is also the current weakness of our army." At this point, he changed the topic and leaned forward and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lu can recommend it to me?" How many talented generals?”

There is nothing else in Shenchi except that there are many spiritual martial arts masters. If they can recruit a few Shenchi masters, then Feng Jun will have nothing to fear.

After hearing what he said, Lu Yong looked up and laughed loudly and said: "I am not satisfied with General Cui. This is exactly why my brothers and sisters are here."

"Oh?" Cui Tu's eyes widened and he asked hurriedly: "I wonder where the talents recommended by the two gentlemen are now?"

"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Lu Yong said with a smile.

Cui Tu was stunned for a while before he realized what he meant. Could it be that the two of them were willing to help him?

The other generals present were also stunned. Yes, Shenchi has spiritual martial arts masters who have been promoting them to other countries, but most of those spiritual martial arts masters are insignificant people in Shenchi. Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo are different. They are disciples of Huangfu Xiutai and have prominent status. , they have never heard of any precedent of a disciple of the Great Elder willing to work hard for another country in Shenchi.

"Mr. Lu, are you kidding?" Cui Tu looked at him in disbelief.

Lu Yong smiled and said: "My brothers and sisters have now arrived at your army's camp. How can they be joking?"

Cui Tu blinked and asked, "Then...how much do you want these two gentlemen to be paid?"

Lu Yong stretched out a finger. Cui Tu thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Ten...one hundred thousand taels?" Of course, ordinary Shenchi masters are not worth this price, but Lu and Ye have different identities, and one hundred thousand taels are both less.

"Haha!" Lu Yong laughed again and slowly shook his head. Old Cui Tu blushed and felt that he had said too little. He swallowed and said, "Is it...one million taels? I have to inform my king about this matter before I can decide!"

Although he is a general, he is the commander-in-chief of an army of 200,000. "One tael!" Ye Zhuo, who had never spoken, suddenly said in a deep voice.

"What?" Cui Tu didn't quite understand what he meant, and looked at him with wide eyes, puzzled.

"The two of us will help your army deal with the Feng army, and we only need one tael of silver as reward." Ye Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Now, General Cui can arrange a place for us two."

Cui Tu and many An generals suspected that their ears had heard it wrong. Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo, two disciples of Huangfu Show, came all the way to An Guo to help them deal with Feng Jun, and they only needed one tael of silver to do it. Remuneration, isn’t this a joke?

Seeing the incredible expressions on his face and those around him, Lu Yong smiled and said softly: "My junior brother is right, my two brothers only need one tael of silver as reward. As for why, General Cui doesn't need to ask more. Don’t think too much, we will help you repel the wind army.”

Cui Tu was shaken, and without hesitation, he stood up, walked quickly to Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo, bowed respectfully, and said: "You two gentlemen are upright and upright. Please accept my respect. !”

snort! Lu Yong and Ye Zhuo laughed in their hearts. If they had not been entrusted by their master, they would not have come to this muddy water. With what Yue Ze did, everyone in the world should be punished together.

This is what he thought in his heart, but he could not say it with his mouth. Lu Yong smiled and said: "General Cui is too polite, and my two brothers can't bear it."

Two disciples from Huangfu Show Stage came to vote and only paid one tael of silver. This was like pie falling from the sky to Cui Tu and An Jun. With their help, Cui Tu's confidence also improved. Unprecedented expansion, the warriors of the Feng Kingdom are powerful, but as far as Lingwu is concerned, how can they be the opponents of the orthodox Shenchi disciples.

Not long after, Feng Guo's Pingyuan Army and Ninth Army arrived at the garrison of An Army.

This large area of ​​ditched land is covered with trenches. Look up and see where the An army was stationed. Behind each trench, there are earth walls and horse barriers. When the attacking party advances, they must jump into the trench first. Within, and then to climb up, you have to force your way over the earth wall. What's terrible is that Anjun's defense line is not one, but is divided into sections and layers, too many to count.

In a battle in such terrain, the heavy cavalry is fully utilized. Not to mention being unable to charge, it is difficult to even lead the horse forward. Qi Heng left his ninth army and ran to Wuying to discuss with her how to launch an offensive.

Wuying frowned and said faintly: "It is reported that the enemy's commander is Cui Tu. This man is famous for his good defense. I saw him today. He is really powerful!" This large area of ​​ditched land has been used by him. To the extreme, she could already predict how difficult this battle would be.

Qi Heng sneered and said, "Why should we be afraid of dealing with the mere An Army? General Wu doesn't have to worry too much. I will be the vanguard in this battle. I will break through from the center and attack the An Army's central army. Take Cui Tu first." The dog head!”

Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu were both happy. They knew that Qi Heng was eager to perform meritorious service and reinstate the good official. However, Zhan Hu said: "Looking at the enemy's defense line, it is very strong. Even if they succeed in a frontal assault, , our army's own casualties will not be too small. It is better to use frontal containment and flanking attack, and launch attacks from both wings of the enemy's formation. In this way, the enemy's defense will not be able to exert its power. "

Wu Ying and Jiang Fan nodded their heads, feeling that Zhan Hu's method was very good. Qi Heng curled his lips disapprovingly and muttered: "How can we be so cautious when attacking An Jun? Just walk over and level them." ”

"You can't say that. It's never a bad thing to be careful." Wuying said seriously: "Today, our army will rest and recuperate. Early tomorrow morning, we will follow General Zhan Hu's method and attack on three sides!"
