Chapter 369

~13 min read 2,505 words

Wang Yang broke Li Jingxuan's three winning routes and began to encircle Li Jingxuan's army. In a desperate situation, Li Jingxuan showed the true colors of a gambler, frequently using dangerous moves, repeatedly using strange plans, and launching a crazy counter-attack against Wang Yang! But he was suppressed steadily by Wang Yang's righteous strategy, locking the keys in a chain.

Although the battle situation has reached the end, the intensity of the confrontation, the complexity of the situation, the intersection of attack and defense, and the changes in military form are all far beyond the past! Some of the crowd understood five or six, followed three or four, and some were completely confused, like watching a heavenly book.

Kong Kong Zhangyu couldn't keep up with the thinking, and could only write down records first, then find gaps to analyze and deduce, and straighten the chopsticks and cups. Sometimes the troops and horses of both sides were mixed together, and Kong Kong Zhangyu looked at the map and the strategy, and couldn't determine the outcome for a long time. Fortunately, Wang Yang and Li Jingxuan were both clear in their hearts, especially after fighting until now, both sides had exhausted their backhands, and even if there were any that hadn't been used, they were clearly written in the strategy, not allowing random fabrication. So they didn't wait for Kong Kong Zhangyu to announce, the two came and went quickly, deciding the outcome themselves, watching the crowd stunned.

Wang Yang traced the cups and plates with his chopsticks:

"The west route circles south of Gushi, the east route enters Chixi, the Jingmen army on the south bank crosses the river, and encircles."

Li Jingxuan's blood and energy surged to his eyes, he no longer looked at the outside world, his gaze only nailed to the cups and plates, and he slapped a black chopstick on a cup onto the table, his breath rapid:

"Bu Chan army exits the city! Reinforce!"

Wang Yang stretched out his white chopsticks, lightly pushed away the black chopstick Li Jingxuan had just slapped on the table, and said calmly:

"The garrison on the side of Bu Chan exits (the west route of the ten thousand troops divided into three routes in the previous chapter), cut off."

Li Jingxuan raised his hand to wipe his sweat, his voice tight:

"Retreat, and the main camp north army together, all retreat to Xiongfu."

Before he had time to take back the chopsticks, they were taken away by Wang Yang:

"After you sent troops from Xiongfu, Xiongfu was pulled by me. The retreat to the north is cut off, you can't retreat to Xiongfu."

Li Jingxuan looked at Kong Kong Zhangyu somewhat trance-like.

Kong Kong Zhangyu nodded to Li Jingxuan after checking the strategy.

Li Jingxuan was stunned, then sighed long, ordered all routes to retreat, his expression extremely dim, as if accepting his fate.

Wang Yang began to encircle and kill Li Jingxuan's routes mercilessly.

Kong Kong Zhangyu recorded six military orders of Wang Yang in a row, seeing his scheduling and planning, interlocking, some even foreshadowed long before the decisive battle, bright lines and dark lines, first and last, spoken casually, without any chaos. In addition to being shocked, he quickly wrote a note and secretly stuffed it into the Prince of Badong's hand.

The Prince of Badong had long been stunned, standing by and watching, his soul wandering in the game, suddenly felt an extra object in his palm, and seeing Kong Kong Zhangyu wink at him, he was puzzled, so he took advantage of the staff's full attention to watch the battle, quietly retreated half a step, opened the note in his sleeve, lowered his head and looked, only to see a sentence written on it:

"This person is a rare talent in the world! If Your Highness wants to achieve hegemony, you must never kill him!"

The Prince of Badong looked at Kong Kong Zhangyu, seeing the old man Kong's expression anxious, his eyeballs almost jumping out, just feeling speechless!

Do you think I'm stupid? Do you still need to say this?!

Then he stepped forward to watch the battle again, ignoring Kong Kong Zhangyu.

On the other side, Li Jingxuan actually surprised everyone again, launching a counter-attack amidst the comprehensive defeat!

Using half of the naval forces as bait, in exchange for the rest of the naval forces to get a gap, a second surprise attack on Huya Mountain!

I did not expect that the young master's demeanor today would be even better than in the past!

Li Jingxuan's eyes were red, he was directly anxious, and shouted:

"Wrong! I have been calculating your military strength! Your main naval force is the Yiling naval division! Before the battle of Guo Zhou, it was composed of Huya and Yiling two routes of naval forces, breaking my north bank naval forces! Your Huya naval force's predecessor was the north and south bank naval forces that retreated from Xialao! There are three thousand! There are three thousand in Jingmen, and before they joined the Yiling east route land army to attack Huya! Now they are besieging my south bank naval division! Your Yiling naval division is now across the river, otherwise I wouldn't have to fight with my naval forces! Where did you get the boat division placed in Linjiang Jianghe..."

Wang Yang pressed his palm, signaling Li Jingxuan to be calm, and then said to Kong Kong Zhangyu:

"Please Mr. Kong read my naval strategy, on the third page."

Kong Kong Zhangyu, as the host of the battle situation, was ashamed because he couldn't perform his duties due to lack of intelligence, but now hearing Wang Yang call him, he hurriedly opened the strategy, found the relevant order, and read:

"Yiling naval forces four thousand, after breaking their north bank naval forces, divide into two routes, one route returns to station at Linjiang Jianghe, one route makes noise and advances west, still using the Yiling naval division flag."

"You!"

Li Jingxuan looked at the noble young master opposite who was drinking tea lightly, as if he saw some horrific scene, and took a step back! His lips twitched several times, but he couldn't spit out a single word! That gambler-like crazy energy just now had completely dissipated, replaced by a chill deep into the bone marrow!

This person is too terrible! Just like the extraordinary person who taught him military strategy, equally terrible!

But that person is a disciple of the immortal family, naturally learning the world, ghosts and gods unpredictable! Wang Yang is a mortal, how can he...

Li Jingxuan's heart was beating, his voice carried a trembling that he couldn't believe:

"Your military strategy said to return to station at Linjiang Jianghe, you said return to station... so, so you retreated from the gorge before, luring me deep, the ambush was the Yiling naval division? You put the Yiling naval division in Linjiang Jianghe, so you didn't set up any defense on the Yiling water route at all?!"

(This river was still used by military strategists until the Republic of China, the Japanese invaders once trained warships here, and had artillery battles with the national army guarding the general's cap on the opposite bank. In 1949, our army seized the river crossing and also practiced rowing in the river, preparing for the crossing attack)

Wang Yang didn't hide it:

His gaze turned away, and according to the seating order, it was Li Jingxuan's turn. Li Jingxuan sneered and said:

Everyone heard this and felt ashamed.

At that time, Li Jingxuan fought out of the river gorge, and everyone advocated pursuing the victory, and laughed at Li Jingxuan for being too cautious and not knowing how to grasp the opportunity. Looking at it now, if Li Jingxuan had really listened to their suggestions at that time, he would only have been defeated faster.

Li Jingxuan swayed, almost unable to stand!

He was just supporting himself with perseverance, and at the same time felt that even if he was defeated, he couldn't be defeated too ugly. If he could keep the existing military strength, retreat to the gorge, stabilize the foundation, rely on the danger of the terrain, turn from attack to defense, and circle with Wang Yang, frustrating him a few times, it would be considered winning back some confidence and not failing his life's learning.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxuan gathered his remaining courage, hard-lifted his breath, and commanded the remnants to retreat from the land to the river gorge, but unexpectedly there were already ambush troops at the mouth of the gorge, which was the army that returned to station at Lu Kang, taking advantage of the north bank decisive battle and the south bank pursuing the enemy to advance and cut off the mouth of the gorge!

This time Li Jingxuan didn't ask Kong Kong Zhangyu if it was true or false, and directly accepted Wang Yang's violent strike, first being covered and killed by the land army, and then intercepted and killed by the naval forces on the side of Duanjiang Mountain. When he fled to Ma'anshan, he had no more than three thousand five hundred men left.

Thinking back when he hadn't exited the gorge, the main camp was stationed at Ma'anshan, the naval and land army, vast and mighty, how glorious! Now he is like a stray dog, tens of thousands of armored soldiers, lost...

Li Jingxuan was beaten by Wang Yang until he doubted life, only feeling that his floating life was like a dream, desolate, and didn't dare to think deeply, and couldn't help crying when he thought about it. He cheered up, ordered to camp at Ma'anshan, and prepared to defend to the end by relying on the mountain situation. At this time, Wang Yang's vanguard naval and land routes also arrived at Duanjiang Mountain. Wang Yang did not advance immediately, but let Kong Kong Zhangyu read the strategy.

Li Jingxuan already had psychological shadows, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "strategy"! He thought there was some ambush! His brain was blank! He only said it's over! But heard Wang Yang say:

"The second sheet, look at the back."

Kong Kong Zhangyu flipped to the back of the second strategy and looked, his face suddenly horrified!

Everyone hurriedly asked!

Kong Kong Zhangyu slowed down before reading:

"If the troops are defeated and retreat to the gorge, they should re-station at Ma'anshan as a camp. There is a monument on the mountain, engraved with six big characters to give him: Li Jingxuan's defeat place—"

Li Jingxuan's scalp went numb instantly, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

Everyone was like hearing thunder! The hair on their bodies was about to stand up! Only heard Kong Kong Zhangyu continue with a trembling voice:

"There is another line of small characters below—if you had Jianping, you would still have a way to live. Pity you abandoned it, alas, alas."

Everyone's ears immediately echoed Wang Yang's words at that time! That voice was light and light, but at this moment it was like a loud bell, shaking people's eardrums!

"Give me five thousand men, Jianping is yours."

"This is not to help me, but to plan for you. If lost, it will be too late to regret."

At that time, I only thought it was an ordinary transaction! Thinking about it now, every word is a reminder, every sentence is a first opportunity!

Li Jingxuan only felt the world spinning, buzzing in his ears, his eyes went black, and he fell directly!

Everyone was shocked! Hurry to help!

Fortunately, Li Jingxuan had no major problems, just a little too much stimulation, and soon regained consciousness, but the previous spirit was no longer there. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already gray.

He refused the suggestion to summon a medical officer and let him go back to rest first, supported the table with both arms, looked at Wang Yang, as if seeing that terrible ghost mask through this young master!

It was the first time in the Prince of Badong's life that someone had slapped his face and called him Old Xiao, and he was directly stunned on the spot. He only heard Wang Yang say:

"Who is your teacher..."

"I have many teachers."

Li Jingxuan pressed the table and stared at Wang Yang's eyes:

"I'm asking about military strategy! Who is the teacher who taught you military strategy?!"

Everyone was also very curious, waiting for Wang Yang's answer.

Wang Yang drank a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and answered:

"Reading Sun and Wu at night and performing soldiers during the day, I also discussed guarding Nanjing.

(Before Wang Yang traveled, there was an opportunity to travel with a friend for several months. Wang Yang taught him literature and history, and he taught Wang Yang military affairs, explaining military secrets and deducing the situation. Before parting, he asked Wang Yang if he wanted to change his path, which is the so-called "opening a new aspect." Wang Yang laughed: "My path is consistent," joked a few words, and then didn't talk about anything else, only gave a question to verify what he learned. Wang Yang's question was "discussing the similarities and differences between literature and history from the study of Wang officials," and the other party's question was "discussing the main points of guarding Nanjing." The two talked about literature and history, and discussed guarding Jin Ling, until midnight, when the moon was like a hook, the sycamore leaves were rustling, and there was no sleepiness when returning to bed. So there is this sentence.)

Watching the shadows of a thousand sails on the Feishui Jianghe, pointing and drawing ten thousand camps at Yuguan.

Why do you need the secret technique of Huangshi, there is a mountain and river to prove the military classic!

Don't you see, the Great Dao has never been a private tool, so there are scholars who throw away their pens to set peace!"

Jingxuan froze, the whole hall was shocked!

After a long silence, there was a sudden whisper:

"By the way... where are Yuguan and Nanjing..."
