MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1069 Concealment and entrapment

  Chapter 1069

  Li Shuo moved quickly.

  In order to prevent the Hanzhou army and Mu family from gossiping, he quickly led his troops out of Luzhou and moved towards the capital after receiving Li Xin's order.

However, although his movements were fast, the progress of the advance was not fast, because Li Shuo knew very well that even if aside from the support armies from all over the world, the imperial court's troops at this time would still be far superior to the Southwest Army. Abandoning the city and not defending, going out of the city and colliding with the Southwest Army head-on, Li Shuo's tens of thousands of people may not be able to withstand it for a long time, and they will be engulfed by the forbidden army.

   Therefore, while advancing, he must pay attention to the movements of the capital in real time. Once the Gyeonggi Imperial Army is surrounded, the Southwest Army must turn the offensive into the defensive, and use the thunder to hold the position and block the offensive of the Imperial Army, and then make plans.

Fortunately, the court's intentions were very conservative. Li Shuo pushed forward forty or fifty miles without encountering any resistance from the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. By this time, it was getting dark, and Li Shuo did not rashly advance, and ordered his soldiers to start camping. .

  Because it was very close to the capital, Li Shuo's Ningzhou Army maintained a considerable degree of caution. After setting up the camp, there were people patrolling within ten miles.

  The moon was in the middle of the sky, and Li Shuo, the commander of the Ningzhou army, did not sleep peacefully. He held a telescope in his hand, stood on a high place, and kept looking towards the capital.

   The hour is up.

  Li Shuo looked a little nervous, and still looked at the capital from time to time.

In this era, the army is very particular about camping, and the topography is very important. For example, it should be close to the water source to prevent the enemy from being attacked by fire, but it cannot be camped downstream to prevent the water attack. Tie your pockets.

   Even for the more elaborate ones, the location of the toilet is very particular. It depends on the wind direction and chooses it at the downwind, otherwise the stench will blow through the entire camp, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness.

Then there is the density of the camps, the formation of mutual support, etc. These are all compulsory courses for military commanders. Li Shuo is naturally very proficient, but this time their camps with tens of thousands of people have chosen the address very well. It is rough, with two hills on the left and right. Once the enemy attacks the camp, it is difficult to advance and retreat freely.

  Li Shuo stood on one of the hills, staring intently at the direction of the capital.

   In the second half of the night, finally there was movement from afar.

Although his telescope did not see anything too obvious, the scouts who were investigating nearby had already discovered something was wrong. A colonel of the scout battalion walked carefully in front of Li Shuo and said in a low voice, "General, that in the capital. By the way, someone is coming."

  Li Shuo took a deep breath and said, "How many people are there?"

   The captain said in a low voice, "I can't see clearly now, but there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, most of whom are attacking the battalion."

   "Only ten or twenty thousand people..."

  Li Shuo shook his head in disappointment, and said, "I see, keep watching and report back at any time."

   This place is too close to the capital, and even closer to the main camp of the Imperial Army's Zuoying, which is only thirty or forty miles away, which means that as long as the enemy comes over, they can arrive in half a night.

   In the face of the attack of the Southwest Army, although the imperial court held a conservative attitude, after all, the overall strength was dominant, and the capital would not be defended from the beginning to the end. No matter what, they had to send people out to try the quality of the Southwest Army.

More importantly, Li Xin has eyes in the capital, and the court cannot be without eyes and ears in the Southwest Army. That is to say, the news that the Southwest Army is changing generals from Mu Ying to Li Shuo must be known to the court. .

  Therefore, Li Shuo and Li Xin were bold enough to discuss a plan that would be calculated according to the plan.

Under the night, Li Shuo put down the telephoto lens in his hand, and muttered to himself: "The Southwest Army is changing generals, replaced by Li Changan's brother, who is in his thirties and has never brought troops. The site is terrible, and I brought a whole 50,000 Southwest Army out of the city..."

   "The Southwest Army has only a total of more than 100,000 people. As long as these 50,000 people are defeated, the Southwest Army will no longer be a threat..."

   "With so many temptations in front of you, you actually only sent 20,000 people out of the city..."

   "Are you too timid, or are you looking down on me too much?"

  Li Shuo murmured, then slowly walked down the high **** and entered his handsome tent.

   At this time, more than a dozen generals of the Ningzhou Army have been assembled in his commanding tent.

Most of these generals of the Ningzhou Army were from the Pingnan Army back then, and many of them were under the command of Li Shen and Li Yan with rich experience. Of course, not all of them were from the Pingnan Army. There were many young generals, including Li Shuo. He was promoted in the Ningzhou Army.

   After seeing Li Shuo, these people immediately clasped their fists in a deep voice: "The last general, I have seen the general!"

   "The army of the imperial court is already on its way. It will take more than half an hour or an hour to arrive at our camp. These people are not many, but there are quite a few. How are your preparations?"

Because there are many eyes and ears of the imperial court in the Southwest Army, Li Shuo's actions this time are very secretive. He only notified a dozen people who are absolutely credible in the Ningzhou Army. After these people heard Li Shuo's words, they immediately bowed their heads and said Said: "The last general is waiting, it has been prepared according to the general's instructions."

  Li Shuo nodded slowly.

"Then go and do business. Although there are not many people here, it is better than nothing. This battle must be fought beautifully, otherwise even if the general doesn't say anything, the Hanzhong army will chew their tongues behind us. Said we were useless."

   Having said this, Li Shuo narrowed his eyes, and murderous aura burst out in his eyes.

   "No matter how many people come to the court tonight, we must let them come and go!"

   "The last general, wait, follow the order!"

  …

  In the darkness of the night, a tall black-faced man was slowly approaching the southwest military tent with a group of people.

  This man is about eight or nine feet tall, not only tall, but also has a heavy voice.

   "Is the scout probe cleared?"

The next soldier lowered his head and said, "General Huihou, we have already checked it out, this southwestern army is led by that brother Li Shuo, who is the general of Ningzhou in the southwest, and I haven't heard of him for years. The record is estimated to be…”

  It is estimated that he was in this position because of his brotherhood with Li Xin.

   This sentence is not finished, but anyone can hear the second half of the sentence.

The big man nodded and said: "I watched his camp from a distance during the day. The formation was scattered, and the terrain was completely wrong. It should be a pustule. This time, the imperial court handed over the task of attacking the camp to the left camp of the forbidden army. In any case, tonight must be a fight."

   The big man's voice was like thunder.

   "Old General Chong said that this battle is going to be fought beautifully. One is to give an explanation to His Majesty, and the other is to call the people of the capital and the court and the public to have a look. Southwest rebels are nothing to worry about!"

   Having said this, the big man frowned slightly.

   "The court is too short of a victory. If it loses again, the capital will be in chaos."

   After saying this, he turned his eyes to the direction of Luzhou, thought of his old friend, and sighed slightly in his heart.

   "Brother Li... The change of Imjin Palace was still in front of us back then, how did we get to where we are today?"
