Chapter 272 Underestimating

the Enemy "Master, are you following the official path?"

Ting Fang sat on the carriage and asked Rong Zheng who had just got on the carriage.

Rong Zheng sat in the carriage, holding a map of mountains and rivers in his hand, and said in detail, "Go west along the capital city, pass through Shui'an, and you will reach Qinzhou. The official roads in these places are flat, making driving more convenient and faster. You can go directly to the official road. Say it!"

Ting Fang nodded, whipped and left.

While Rong Zheng went north, Meng Helan ushered in the first battle in his military career.

With the arrival of a new leader, he overwhelmed everyone on the training ground.

The morale of all the soldiers was high, and they were full of energy to wash away the shame of being occupied at Hemen Pass.

However, on the day of the battle, Meng Helan was careful with his troops and only sent 3,000 men to the front to test the reality.

Although the soldiers were confused after hearing this, they had to endure it. Maybe their young general had a different plan.

Amutu, who was facing the battle, saw a mere three thousand soldiers. He was a little cautious at first, but when he saw that they retreated after a few hits, he shook his head, "I thought Meng Helan was somewhat capable of his father, but unexpectedly he was a Cowardly."

After one fight, they stopped.

The next day they faced the battle, it was still the same, but the number sent was slightly larger, increased to 6,000 people, all of them were unique soldiers and Dunjia.

The people who fought this time were more brave than before, but they were still beaten back by Lisha after a few hits.

As soon as these two battles broke out, everyone in the military camp was dejected and began to question Meng Helan.

So what if you can shoot three arrows at a hundred steps while blindfolded?

If you go to the battlefield, you still have to be able to lead troops in battle. Those are just showpieces after all.

Some unconvinced soldiers petitioned themselves, "If General Meng doesn't dare to fight, we brave men can go up on our own."

For a while, the soldiers complained, and their hearts were like sand.

Commander Wang saw this and was anxious in his heart. He opened the door curtain of Meng Helan's tent and hurried in.

"General, this battlefield has always emphasized the importance of troops and speed. I'm afraid if you try it slowly like this, you will delay the opportunity!"

Meng Helan looked at the sand table in front of the camp and said calmly: "I always have to understand the terrain first. It's easy to fight."

Commander Wang swallowed his saliva, feeling a little annoyed. "The terrain is right in front of you. The general can see it at a glance, not to mention..."

He paused at this point, and seemed to be thinking. Consider whether you should say it or not.

Meng Helan looked at the sand table intently and continued: "What's more?"

Commander Wang closed his eyes and spoke out his heart straightly, "Besides, even if the general is not familiar with it, the brothers who have been stationed here all year round are not familiar with it." The terrain is also very familiar. General, you can't let us all wait just because you don't know it. "

Meng Helan said with a smile: "Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be in danger; if you know the sky and the earth, you can win."

Wang. The commander opened his mouth, paused for a moment and said: "That's true, but if the general continues like this, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be weakened. Once the morale of the army is separated, they will surrender without fighting!"

Just as he said this, many people gathered outside the camp. The young man shouted outside:

"General, let us go to war!"

"I can do it too!"

"And me!"

"I want to go too."

"I have been here for six years and have rich experience!"

.... ..The

sound of the two talking suddenly stopped at this moment, and the voices of petitions outside the camp began one after another. More and more people gathered around. It seemed like petitions, but in fact it was dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Meng Helan walked out of the camp, looked at the many soldiers and said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow we will all go out of the camp to attack, and wash away the shame of before!"

Meng Helan's words were loud, and the noisy soldiers all calmed down after hearing the words, and raised their hands. The weapon shouted loudly:

"We will win tomorrow!"

"We will win tomorrow!"

"We will win tomorrow!"

...

After Meng Helan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down, "It's getting late today, everyone. Go back to the camp and rest! We will definitely return with a great victory tomorrow!"

After saying this, the soldier felt a surge in his heart, dispersed in all directions, and left the camp.

Commander Wang looked at the backs of the retreating soldiers with an expression that was hard to describe.

Meng Helan turned around and returned to the camp. Seeing that he had a troubled look on his face, he said, "Why do you still seem dissatisfied? Didn't you just say that you would send troops to fight?"

Commander Wang came back to his senses and followed him to the camp, thinking for a long time. He said: "Yes, it's just that the general has sent out troops a little more violently

now." The troops were sent out little by little in the past two days, but tomorrow they will be sent out in full force, as if they are desperate.

Commander Wang became worried for a moment.

Meng Helan glanced at him and was about to say something, when a soldier outside the camp reported back: "General Qi, we have spread the news according to your instructions."

Meng Helan waved his hand, "I understand, stand down!"

Commander Wang looked at it . Seeing that Meng Helan's operation did not seem to be random, he asked tentatively: "General, this is a good move."

Meng Helan looked at the sand table in front of him and said confidently: "We will win tomorrow, don't worry!"

Commander Wang was speechless after hearing this. He believed it too much, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say tactfully: "General, you must reserve some troops tomorrow. I can't comfort these generals anymore."

Meng Helan patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work! Wait. If you win this battle, I’ll treat you to skewers.”

The next day, early in the morning.

Meng Helan ordered 30,000 troops in front of Meng Helan's camp, and all of them were imprisoned near Hemen.

The battlefield of yellow sand and wild fields is filled with darkness and looks overwhelming.

Amatu was sitting on a horse in armor. When he saw the menacing army in front of him, he laughed and said, "The news is correct. This man named Meng really brought all his troops to death!"

He reined in his horse and said with a loud voice. His face was excited: "Zuo Shan, if we win this battle, we can bruise Xing Chao for at least five years!"

The middle-aged man on the side listened and twisted his eyebrows slightly: "Prince, be careful of fraud!"

"This Meng Helan has just come to congratulate you. When we were in Lanshan, I heard that he could pierce three arrows at a hundred steps with only blindfolding him. With such strength, he must not be a timid person!"

Amutu raised his hand and ordered the army to move forward, "It doesn't mean that he can shoot arrows. , It can only be said that he is proficient in this technique. He still needs to be brave in fighting. He was cautiously testing in the past two days, which shows that he is a conservative person."

He said with determination: "The reason why I sent all the troops today is just because I think I am. We can only win by quantity! Without the Meng family, they will be just a bunch of rabble when it comes to Xingguo. Today is a good opportunity. We will definitely beat them to the point of losing their armor. As long as Helan Mountain is conquered, our urgent need can be solved!"

Zuo Shan looked at it! Looking at the Xingjun attacking fiercely in front, they were a little shaken for a moment. After all, this group of people had fought like this before Meng Helan came, but after all, they were not as good at using military tactics as the Meng family before. In less than three days, they captured Hemen Pass. .

If they can win today's battle, they will have more fertile land!

Thinking of this, he quickly followed them.

Amutu was confident that his troops were strong and attacked fiercely all the way. When Meng Helan saw them approaching, he raised his voice and ordered several generals on the side: "General Li led five thousand people to ambush on the low hillside on the right. General Zhang led ten thousand people to go around. They cover up from behind, and the rest follow me."

With the order, the soldiers started fighting on the battlefield.

Meng Helan led a frontal attack of 10,000 people. After a while, they were outnumbered by the enemy's troops. However, just when Amutu thought he was about to win, a bunch of troops from both sides suddenly rushed up and surrounded them.

These soldiers are extremely elite cavalry. Amutu has led his troops to attack for a while, and his physical strength has been exhausted a lot. However, the opponent is full of energy. Not long after, they were defeated by their attack.

In the end, they could only escape hastily with five thousand soldiers and horses defeated.

Meng Helan looked at the fleeing figure, held his head high and said: "As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. The lesson I teach you today is not to underestimate the enemy!"

Lixia's vitality was seriously injured in this battle, and Hemenguan also recovered again.

Commander Wang suddenly realized at this moment, "It turns out that the general has been acting these past few days to make the other party look down on you!"

Meng Helan nodded, "That's not entirely true. I was really observing the terrain a few days ago. It is vast in the middle, but narrow on both sides. , is most suitable for defense, but this person Amutu gave up the basic defense and attacked directly, so he had to be flanked by us!"
