Great Tang Southern Emperor

Xue Rengui frowned: "Geng Hu? Who let you in? Trespassing the barracks is a felony."

Geng Hu, the commander of the first battalion of the Iron Blood Army (5000 people per battalion), is also the chief instructor of the first battalion. Li Zhen discovered a master from the folk. Similar to Xue Rengui, he doesn't have a straight face to tidy up his hippie smile, but he still has real skills, otherwise Li Zhen wouldn't have given him the Five Thousand Boys Army with confidence.

"I came in by myself. The people at your door can't stop me. As for trespassing on the barracks, it's even more out of my hands. I'm also the person in charge of this operation." Geng Hu still had a playful smile on his face. Glancing at the lively scene, he couldn't stop nodding and said, "Xue Rengui, you have a good command of morale, but you just don't know what these people's real skills are? Just now, from your tone, you want to wrestle with our youth army." For this, I can only say that your ambition is good, but you’d better be prepared to fail, it’s not good to look for life and death when you are defeated.”

"Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself." Xue Rengui sneered, not to be outdone, and fought back: "Your youth army has spent so much money on Your Highness in the past five years, if we win this time, it will be called ugly." Well, even if His Highness forgives you, can you still have the face to live in this world?"

"The question is, will we lose?" Geng Hu asked rhetorically, "Although the Boys' Army does not have any battlefield experience and all of them are recruits, let me tell you, if we compare it for a while, our 200 people can beat your 3000 people. Say more"

Geng Hu's expression suddenly became obscene, and he smiled: "Besides, even if we lose, I can't just blame me. I am the chief instructor of the Iron Blood Battalion, yes, but Your Highness is still the head of the Iron Blood Battalion. , you and Fang Yiai are also the instructors of the Boys Army, you are both responsible, why should we only be responsible for something?"

"Cut us, that's just a guest appearance, okay? We don't receive the salary of the Iron Blood Camp." Xue Rengui glanced at Geng Hu disdainfully, knowing that he would say this: "Anyway, His Highness will not look good when the time comes, so you just wait for the future." Please die and apologize."

"Hehe, we have to wait until you win." Geng Hu's expression remained the same, and he laughed and said, "Do you really think that the money of more than 200 million yuan per year is just to improve their food? I can only say that you are too young Look at the strength of the youth army. You have no idea what those children have experienced. Each of them can be said to have crawled out of hell. Your guards are indeed elite soldiers tempered with blood and fire. But compared with the Youth Army, there is still a difference between heaven and earth. To be honest, the training these young people have received is sometimes scary even to myself.”

"Then I'll wait and see." The words were not speculative, and Xue Rengui and Geng Hu were not dealing with them originally, and they stopped talking at this time.

"You'll see." Geng Hu became serious in a rare way: "My people are already waiting outside, how long are you guys going to dawdle?"

"It's already here, but there's no sound at all?"

Xue Rengui was startled, but said calmly, "Why are you in a hurry? The information hasn't been delivered yet, and you don't even know where Feng Gaixin is now."

"If all wars depend on intelligence, then what's the point of joining the team?" Geng Hu said verbally with disdain, but he stopped urging him. He still understands the truth that intelligence comes first when the two armies are fighting, and he just talked about it just now. Just an addiction.

"" Xue Rengui ignored him, just doing his own thing.

After a while, Feng Gai's information finally arrived. Xue Rengui didn't have time to scold the Blood Dragon Guard for its ineffective intelligence, and quickly started a discussion with the generals: "According to the information, Feng Gai's lair is at Sanyue Mountain, [-] miles west of the city. In Yuezhai, Sanyue Mountain is famous for having three moon-shaped cave entrances. The terrain in the cave is peculiar, and the interior is vast and boundless, enough to hide tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In fact, those caves are indeed Feng’s before, and Feng’s now. The land built to hide soldiers contained a mountain of food and grass, enough for thousands of people for half a year.

The terrain of Sanyue Mountain is dangerous, and it can be attacked or defended. In addition, it is on the main road of traffic, and behind it is Fanjiang, a tributary of the Pearl River. It is an important place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Apart from looting, Feng Gai would usually stay in the cottage to enjoy the blessings, feasting guests every day, so uncomfortable. "

"However, since His Highness came down, the security on Sanyue Mountain has become much stricter, Feng Gai has also restrained a lot, but Feng Gai's forces in the city have become more active, and our actions may have been noticed by them."

"What's the matter? We didn't mean to hide it." Geng Hu said with a grin: "There is such a big commotion in our barracks, as long as Feng Gai is not an idiot, it is impossible for him not to realize what we are going to do, right? There is no need to hide at all."

Xue Rengui glanced at him: "Then how do we fight this battle?"

"Nonsense, if I know how to fight, do I still need to follow you? I will lead people to kill them myself."

"" At this moment, everyone has only one thought. What you said is so straightforward that I am speechless.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm telling the truth." Geng Hu took it for granted, "If it weren't for the fact that I haven't led the army, and the youth army has no actual combat experience, you think it will be your guards' turn to fight this time. ?"

"Let's continue talking about this war." Xue Rengui ignored Geng Hu's shamelessness, and turned the topic back to the upcoming battle: "Feng Gai is not an idiot, if we show too much fighting power in the early stage, he will definitely be the first We only have 5000 troops to retreat into the Sanyue Cave, and it is impossible to block the entire Sanyue Mountain—even if we can really block the March Mountain, we only have two days, and Feng Gai will not die of hunger in two days."

Xu Zhen suggested: "We can try to intercede with His Highness, and let His Highness have a few more days of grace? It's impossible to destroy a faction in two days, right? Your Highness, is this purely embarrassing?"

Geng Hu glanced at him, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, you can just quit, why bother with us? Disturb the morale of the army before the war, do you want to die? I can help you."

"I did not mean anything else"

"Okay, it's just this one time, don't make another example." Xue Rengui scolded.

"Yes."

"Go on, does anyone have any ideas?"

Geng Hu glanced at Xue Rengui, and suddenly said: "Xue Rengui, do you know what I hate about you the most?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to pretend to be aggressive, it depends on the timing? If you have a way, you should speak up quickly." Geng Hu suddenly roared: "We don't have much time, and half of the two days have passed, you You are still here slowly asking for other people's opinions, dawdling, what are you thinking?"

"I"

"What me? We only have one day left, and we haven't set off yet. Can you do it? If you can't, get out of here and let someone who can do it. It's very annoying for you to occupy the latrine like this. Hate you know?"

Chapter 283

Chapter 59 Departure

"" The atmosphere calmed down, and everyone turned their attention to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui was silent for a moment: "I understand, this time it was my mistake, and I will apologize to His Highness later."

"I have two methods. First, since Feng Gai has the retreat route of Sanyue Mountain, why don't we take advantage of the trend and drive Feng Gai into Sanyue Mountain? Feng Gai's way of retreat, but for us, it is a dead end. Other troops can't enter because of the complex terrain in the cave, and entering rashly will only be destroyed by Feng Gai, but we are different, we have cannons, There are grenades, smoke bombs, explosives, and kerosene, all of which are weapons for street warfare. Among other things, as long as we blow up the Sanyue Mountain cave, Feng Gai will have to wait to die inside."

"Sounds like a good idea." Geng Hu questioned: "But have you ever thought about it? This Sanyue Mountain is the cave where the ancestors of the Feng family used to hide soldiers. It has been in operation for decades. We can all think of a way to block the entrance. How could they not have thought of it? I’m afraid that we have already left a retreat in the cave of Sanyue Mountain. Of course, we can seal the three entrances, but the cave in Sanyue Mountain is unfathomable. Who can guarantee that the cave only has these three exits? ?”

"Indeed, there are indeed other hidden retreats in the Sanyue Mountain, but since they are hidden retreats, it means that these retreats are definitely not too large, and may even only allow one person to walk, and Feng Gai has 5000 people. How long do you think it will take to evacuate everyone under the condition of thin air or even cut off? I am afraid that people will be suffocated before they are evacuated.

And you have to know that the cave is indeed well-developed in all directions, but the cave’s geology is fragile, and as long as there is a slight vibration, it will collapse in a large area. As long as we have enough explosives, we can completely collapse the entire cave. At that time, Feng Gai and his five thousand elite soldiers will only The road of being buried alive can be taken. "

"Isn't this method too cruel?" A captain suddenly said, "Whether it's buried alive or suffocated to death, isn't this too inhumane?"

Xue Rengui said coldly: "Do you think that marching and fighting are playing games? War is synonymous with cruelty. When you fight against the enemy on the battlefield, do you still want to be kind to them?"

"Yes."

Geng Hu waved his hands speechlessly and said, "Why so much nonsense? Do you usually discuss things like this? Come on, what is the second method?"

"However, this method is indeed harmful to peace, so I thought of a second method, which is to lure the snake out of the hole." Xue Rengui said: "According to our information, Feng Gai is very arrogant. In our hands, we never put other people in our eyes. If we use our strategy properly, we can definitely lure them out. I believe that with our strength, Feng Gai's army can be crushed in one wave. However, while Feng Gai is arrogant, he is also very timid and treacherous, as long as the situation is slightly wrong, he will immediately retreat into the Sanyue Mountain, so the key to the success of this plan is not to give Feng Gai the opportunity to retreat."

"It's simple." Geng Hu clapped his hands and stood up, and said wretchedly with a smile: "You give me 300 people, and after you lure Feng Gai out, I will lead people to sneak in with gunpowder and directly kill the people in Sanyue Mountain." The entrance of the cave collapsed, and Feng Gai had no escape route, why don't we let us do it?"

"Are you sure?" Xue Rengui glanced at him suspiciously. It shouldn't be easy for 300 people to sneak into the heavily guarded Sanyue Mountain, right?

"The people on your side are definitely not good, but my subordinates are completely fine." Geng Hu said with a smile: "The training of the youth army is not just as simple as fighting in the battle formation. This training subject is far beyond what your guards can match, this time you will lose."

"Hmph, let's wait until you can do this."

"Then it's decided, follow the second strategy first, and then use the first strategy if it doesn't work."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Set off."

After receiving the order, the three thousand guards walked out of the camp silently. The army was solemn and orderly, and they could be called elites.Their superiors, generals and academies are very satisfied with this. With this kind of military quality, as long as they are stronger in fighting, even a small officer in the army is enough. They can't help but think carefully for a while. It's best to pull to yourself.

However, when they walked out of the barracks, they were almost suffocated by the scene they entered. They saw thousands of troops ready to go out standing at the gate of the barracks. They were so silent that they didn't even notice that they were in the barracks.And judging from the situation, it was obvious that they had been standing here for a while, but they didn't show a trace of impatience, and they didn't even shake their eyes, just like tall and straight pines, standing proudly against the wind.

The age of this army is very young, and it is rare to see people over the age of 20 at a glance. However, such young faces give everyone a sense of oppression.It is also like a virgin forest. At first glance, there is no danger, but careful observation can make people feel chills on the back, and the hairs will explode.

The Guards, whose aura had been mobilized to the peak by Xue Rengui before, encountered this pressure, and the aura that had already reached the peak was suddenly crushed, almost losing their fighting spirit.Xue Rengui's situation is also not good. He is a peerless general, but facing this army, he is also oppressed and almost breathless.

"Geng Hu, what have you been doing all these years?" Xue Rengui murmured.

If the former aura of the Guards was a fierce tiger, howling proudly in the mountains and forests, then the Youth Army was a cheetah ready to go.The fierce tiger is indeed terrifying, but the cheetah is the most terrifying.
