Chapter 349: Leading the Way, Comparable to the Overlord
An hour later,

Lu Yunyi led 500 soldiers who had experienced the initial battle in the northern border and quietly left the camp.

At first, they wrapped their feet with linen cloth, and when they were out of the forest,
They tied a broom to their horses' backs to suppress their tracks, kicked up dust, and galloped northwards.

Before dusk, we arrived at Taibai Valley in the upper reaches of the Lidu River.

This place is only 20 miles away from Luchuan Camp.
If you go all the way down the river, the journey may be even shorter.

At this time, the group took a short break near the Lidu River in Taibai Valley.

There is no intention of hiding your whereabouts.
Dozens of bonfires were lit, illuminating the river not far away.
The voices of the soldiers' conversation became less clear under the cover of the surging river.

At this time, Lu Yunyi was chewing on some dry food while holding a map.

Feng Yunfang sat aside, holding a torch in his hand to provide light.

Not far away, Zhang Yu was shuttling back and forth among the soldiers.

Make the final battle deployment and inform many soldiers of the crises they may encounter, and be fully prepared.

Zhang Yu was strict and meticulous in employing troops and fighting wars, which was one of the reasons why Lu Yunyi brought him here.

Now there are only 500 people on this trip, and the boat is small and easy to turn around.
It is entirely possible to convey military orders to every soldier and form a joint force.

Soon, Zhang Yu finished arranging the troops and hurried over.

He took the dry food and hot water handed over by the guards.

He took a big bite of dry food and drank a big gulp of hot water.

Feeling the astringency and earthy taste in my mouth,

Zhang Yu frowned, but just started eating.

Lu Yunyi raised his head, glanced at her, and smiled softly.
Zhang Yu was an official of the Northern Yuan Dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty, so his food and daily necessities were naturally excellent.
Even in the army, he was very picky about food and drink.
It would be a bit difficult for him to eat coarse food now.

"Zhang Yu, river water is not as good as mountain spring water, but it can be drunk after boiling."

As he spoke, Lu Yunyi handed over the water bag on the side:

"Here, this is mountain spring water. It's a little cold now, but you can drink it."

Zhang Yu did not refuse and took the water bag.

While chewing some dry food, he said incoherently:

"Sir, we are here to lure out the pursuing soldiers and then defeat them in one fell swoop.
They captured prisoners and tortured them severely.

It is too dangerous to lure the enemy, so I will go and you will be the ambush soldier."

Lu Yunyi refused without even thinking:
"The first rule of military law is to execute the combat plan according to the established combat strategy.

Unless there is a major change, no one can make changes.

As a general, you should not forget this."

Zhang Yu naturally remembered these military laws.
He was even the first supporter of this military law.
Because his battle strategy is also very detailed, taking all aspects into consideration,

If someone makes changes on their own initiative, he will be furious.

But Zhang Yu still wanted to give some advice:
"Sir, you are now the commander of an army.
Your safety is related to whether this operation can proceed smoothly, so you can't make any mistakes."

"Okay, stop talking.
The enemy forces in this conflict number no more than a thousand men.
Personal prowess is still somewhat useful, I will be fine."

As Lu Yunyi spoke, he swallowed the last piece of dry food.

He then handed over the map and pointed to Jixing Peak, which was five miles north of Luchuan Camp.

"You lead three hundred cavalrymen to wait here, and I will lead the people here.
After the horses have passed Jixing Peak, you can attack again.

Then you and I will attack them from the front and back and defeat them!"

Zhang Yu looked over and nodded.
Jixing Peak was also one of the ambush locations he had chosen.

Although there are high mountains beside us,
But the area at the foot of the mountain was particularly open, large enough to accommodate thousands of cavalry charging through.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu nodded heavily:
"Yes!"

Lu Yunyi looked at the map again and thought about it. After confirming that it was correct,
Only then did he hand the map to Feng Yunfang and let him put it away.

Feng Yunfang, who was standing by, had a strange look on his face.
It was the first time he had seen an adult lead a war with such a small number of people.

Moreover, the tactics used are so simple.

He was somewhat puzzled, but did not dare to ask.

Lu Yunyi smiled lightly, looked at the soldiers around him who pricked up their ears, and said loudly:
"No matter what the situation, the speed and accuracy of military orders and information transmission are crucial.
Complex military orders and complex combat missions can lead to misunderstanding or confusion.

Especially in time-sensitive or stressful situations.

Simple military orders can ensure that every brother can quickly and accurately understand the mission requirements, thereby increasing the possibility of success in military affairs.

The more complicated the military affairs and orders are, the more time and resources they will consume.
This is not terrible when there are enough people.
But there are only 500 people on this trip. If we spend too much time trying to understand military affairs, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Besides, there are not many of us on this trip.
Interactions between soldiers will become more frequent, and complex military orders will lead to different opinions and misunderstandings, leading to disagreements and conflicts. "

At this point, both Feng Yunfang and the soldiers around him who were listening attentively showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Seeing this, Lu Yunyi smiled and continued:
“So, at any time,
The simpler the military affairs and combat missions, the greater the possibility of success.

In a major war, there is a huge and complex combat mission.

At this time, the combat missions must be subdivided and subdivided again.
In your hands, it may just be a minor detail and will be particularly easy to complete.

In this way, little by little,
Many soldiers can complete the corresponding combat tasks.

The major combat missions that I have set will be completed.”

After hearing this, countless soldiers opened their mouths wide.
It was the first time for them to directly hear the commander's handling of the war.
Zhang Yu on the side looked at Lu Yunyi in surprise.
During this march, he was probably the only one who knew how important those words were.

This is the gap between ordinary soldiers and generals.
And those last words are the gap between ordinary generals and outstanding generals.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yunyi stood up and looked at the many soldiers present:
"Well, the story has been told.
After this trip, we should pass it on to each other and study with each other.

When you have figured it out, you will have the ability to become a general."

The eyes of the soldiers around him lit up, and they were eager.

What's the purpose of joining the army and fighting in wars? Isn't it to get promoted and make money?

But soon, Lu Yunyi poured cold water on them.
"If you want to become a general and get a wife with the reward money, it is not enough for me to teach you these skills.
First, you must fight bravely in the battle that is coming.

Use all your skills to survive!
Only by surviving can we talk about the future! "

Having said this, the faces of many soldiers suddenly became serious, with frowns and a murderous look on their faces.

Instead, Zhang Yu's face suddenly showed enlightenment, realizing that this was what the adults were planning.

Lure them with benefits.

"Okay, pack up and leave in a quarter of an hour!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted at this moment, they were full of energy, and even their voices were particularly loud.

Two hours later, in the forest north of Luchuan Camp,
Lu Yunyi sat on the warhorse.

Gently shaking off the blood on the long knife, the whole person hid in the darkness,
Only the faint moonlight shining through the branches and leaves could reveal his cold and murderous face.

At the edge of the jungle, more than 30 bodies of Luchuan soldiers were lying in a mess.
They were all spies who had discovered the front army scouts and wanted to report back.

They chased them all the way from deep in the woods, and only killed them all when they reached the edge.

Beside Lu Yunyi, more than ten soldiers stood quietly with calm faces, also wiping the long swords in their hands.

At this time, the faint sound of horse hooves came from behind.

The remaining soldiers were leading their horses slowly forward.

With every step they took, the soldiers had to scout the way ahead of their horses to prevent the horses from spraining their feet.

Seeing this, Lu Yunyi sighed.
I couldn't help but recall the joy of charging and killing on the grassland!
In a place like Yunnan with complex terrain, war horses are more delicate than humans.

After checking the time, Lu Yunyi gathered his thoughts and spoke in a deep voice:
"Everyone, get on your horses, take out the kerosene and march along the river. Fire your rockets at will!"

If you want to attract the enemy to pursue you, the best way is to attack where they must rescue you.

At present, for Luchuan Camp,

The most important things are undoubtedly the pontoon bridges and warships.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers were on their horses.
Two hundred riders loomed in the dark woods.

Like a ghost hiding in the darkness, the armor flickered coldly under the eerie moonlight!

Lu Yunyi held the reins in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. He had a sharp gaze, a tall stature, and an imposing manner.

"Put on the armor!"

As the cold voice fell, all the soldiers and Lu Yunyi raised their left hands and rubbed their head armor hard!
The dark and ferocious mask covered his face, and the exposed ferocious teeth looked particularly terrifying.
There are two round holes at the eye position, revealing the cold pupils, which looks particularly murderous!

Lu Yunyi pulled the reins, and the tall warhorse started to move a little bit, and then it moved faster and faster.

But the strange thing is that the sound of the horses' hooves did not become louder as the speed increased.
Only Lu Yunyi's voice echoed in the army.

"Everyone walk along the river, and kill anyone you see!" "Walk slowly for the first two miles, and quickly for the last mile!"

"Head to the floating bridge!"

As the voice came through, Lu Yunyi's eyes were fixed on the dots of light ahead.
At the end of the sight, you can see the candlelight on the Lidu River.

They are lined up one after another, with long distances between them, spanning both sides of the river bank.

You can also vaguely see torches moving above.
Not only that, there were also organized soldiers patrolling back and forth on the shore.

Through this inspection, Lu Yunyi knew that

Even if the Luchuan military camp in front of us is just for show, there are not that many soldiers.

But there are also enough elite troops!

Lu Yunyi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
As the speed of the warhorse's charge increased,

Lu Yunyi's eyes became sharper and sharper, and the candlelight in front of him was getting closer and closer.

"Three miles. Two miles and one mile!"

The outer fortress of the camp is right before our eyes;
The patrolling Luchuan soldiers finally discovered a group of cavalry rushing out from the darkness!
With panic on their faces, they looked at the cavalry and soldiers shrouded in darkness and shouted loudly,
Enemy attack——

But, a distance of one mile is just a blink of an eye for the prairie horse!
The originally brisk horse hooves suddenly became hurried.

The warhorse's pace and steps became faster and bigger.
The mud and sand stirred up by the horse's hooves rolled over and over as if hit by a huge wave!
Then, a shrill and loud shout rang out.

kill--

Lu Yunyi's face was stern, and his cold and murderous eyes clearly appeared in the eyes of the Luchuan soldiers patrolling the camp in front of him through the visor!

They only felt a tall figure suddenly jump out from the darkness.

Then, a flash of knife light came under the orange-red firelight!
Before he could react, the whole world began to spin and heads flew upside down!

Lu Yunyi swung his sword with great force.
By using the new stirrups, his strength can be better released.

At this moment, he could clearly see the neat wounds of the Luchuan soldier in front of him, as well as his eyes rolling back and forth in astonishment.

Before one knife is put away, another one comes!

The long sword that Lu Yunyi swung in front of him suddenly stopped.

The intense force made his muscles bulge, and then his wrist flipped.

The blade that was originally pointing inward suddenly turned outward and slashed out with the backhand!
A deep bloodstain ran down the cheek of the next Luchuan soldier to his right shoulder.

In the orange-red torchlight, you can see the whitish flesh and bones faintly visible!
Another Luchuan soldier fell, and at the same time,
The warhorse under him did not slack off at all.

The huge horse's head swung left and right, knocking General Luchuan to the ground.
Then, without any hesitation, the huge horse hoof stepped on it.
One person had his neck broken by being stepped on, and another person had his chest collapsed by being stepped on!
In an instant, four people fell to the ground!

At the same time, the soldiers around him were not stingy with their swords and spears, and screams and muffled groans were heard.
Just three breaths after the cavalry and infantry collided,
More than two hundred cavalrymen had already broken through the blockade of the patrolling soldiers.

Of the Luchuan soldiers who originally numbered over a hundred, only thirty were still able to stand on the ground!

A lot of blood had been splattered on Lu Yunyi's black armor.

The smell of blood flashed in the air.

It made him feel a sense of relief that he hadn't felt in a long time.

Since becoming the commander-in-chief, I have been unable to finish reading the daily documents and military reports.

There is no longer the joy of charging and killing as recklessly as before!
But now, today!
Two hundred riders break into the enemy camp at night, awesome!
As the fierce sound of war drums sounded, more and more Luchuan troops rushed out of the military camp to intercept the enemy.

Lu Yunyi kept slashing with the long sword in his hand, and the armor on his right arm had already turned scarlet.
But from his initial chuckle, it slowly turned into a wild laugh.
Lu Yunyi rushed to the front of the battle formation like a madman.

Whenever he swung the long sword in his hand, no one could stop him and they were all killed with one blow.

At this moment, Feng Yunfang, who was following behind, had a dazed look on his face.
He finally understood why Lord Liu repeatedly told him to hold on to the Lord before leaving.

At this moment, Feng Yunfang felt that

The tall figure was leading the way, comparable to a king!

He swung the long knife in his hand at his side, cutting a large gash in the chest of two Luchuan soldiers who were rushing over.

He hurriedly pulled the reins and chased after him, shouting:

"Sir, slow down!"

What answered him was Lu Yunyi's hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha, kill kill kill kill."

The soldiers behind him waved their long swords.

While looking at the camp that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and the figure that was getting farther and farther away.

They squeezed their horses' bellies, hoping to keep up.

But what hindered them was not the speed of the horses, but the speed of killing the enemies!

The man at the front killed the enemy with one blow, swiftly and easily.

But they will encounter some obstacles and the horse speed can never reach the fastest!
Seeing that the master in front was getting farther and farther away, no one could match him.
The soldiers gradually began to panic, clenched their teeth, and swung their swords with even greater force!
And Lu Yunyi, who was at the front,
He not only saw the dead Luchuan soldiers, but also saw the camp not far away.

There, with drums beating and trumpets blasting,

The military tents were lighting up one after another.
The military camp, which was originally somewhat dark, suddenly became as bright as day.

Lu Yunyi frowned, and his doubts grew even more intense.

They reacted so quickly, they are really elite soldiers?
Rushing closer, Lu Yunyi's doubts not only did not disappear, but became more intense.
Where did the Luchuan soldiers come from?

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi's eyes were sharp.
He threw the long sword in his hand with all his strength, stabbing straight at the Luchuan soldier holding a longbow.

Let him cover his neck and fall in a pool of blood
Lu Yunyi then drew out the spear from behind him with great force, and every time he swung it, there was a sound of breaking wind.

Soon, he was getting closer and closer to the floating bridge.

At this moment, the soldiers on the pontoon bridge also noticed the attack, and they all stood up and drew the long swords at their waists.

Lu Yunyi, holding a spear, rushed out of the battle formation that was blocking the soldiers.

He stared at a Luchuan soldier standing on the pontoon bridge with sharp eyes.

Without any hesitation, he thrust the spear in his hand forward with all his might!
The silver-white spear head flashed silver in the moonlight.

Like a giant silver dragon, it stabbed straight at the soldier!

The dark figure seemed to be hit hard by some huge object.
The whole person flew backwards, fell into the rushing river, and disappeared.

Lu Yunyi did not stop, his lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were full of murderous intent,

He took the longbow and three arrows from one side, rubbed them hard on the saddle,
A fierce flame appeared, illuminating his figure!
Not far away, the Luchuan soldiers rushed out with long swords in hand and saw a bright light in front of them.

The sight of a figure bathed in blood filled them with fear.

As we walked along, there were corpses all over the ground.

They knew the consequences of rushing forward, especially when the cold eyes in the blood-red mask cast their gazes at them.
They just felt cold all over, their hairs were counting down, and their legs seemed to be frozen, unable to move!

The next moment, Lu Yunyi exerted force with both hands.
He pulled the tough bow to its limit, making a stagnant sound, and the ashes hidden in the gap were poked out.
Especially noticeable in the moonlight!

The soldiers behind him couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene, and looked at the longbow on the side of the warhorse in confusion.

Now we are still nearly 150 steps away from the floating bridge.

Sir, please draw your bow and arrow now, we can't reach it! !
The next moment, three bright and dazzling flames suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was like three angry fire dragons rising from the darkness, breaking through the quiet night sky, with roars and air waves that pierced the air!

In everyone's stunned gaze, he headed towards the wobbly floating bridge on the river!

The arrows are accurate and ruthless!
It pierced the floating bridge hard!

The kerosene on it spread rapidly the moment it touched the floating bridge, and the dazzling flames began to spread rapidly!
The greedy tongue of fire licked every inch of driftwood!
At this time, the soldiers finally rushed within a hundred steps and began to draw their bows and arrows.
Rays of flames shot up into the sky and stabbed the floating bridge fiercely!

The fire spread at an alarming speed, from a few sparks at the beginning, quickly converging into a blazing sea of ​​fire.

Floating on the river, it is particularly eye-catching!

At this moment, Lu Yunyi's ears moved slightly, his eyes focused, and he looked towards the south!

The camp gate burst open.

The sound of violent horse hooves rang out, and teams of cavalry rushed out from different places!

There was a fierce light flashing in Lu Yunyi's eyes, and the reins were pulled closer in an instant!

The warhorse under him suddenly stopped, raised its front hooves high, let out a neigh, and then fell heavily to the ground!

thump—

"retreat!"

With a loud shout, Lu Yunyi turned his horse's head and rushed in the direction he came from.

In the distance, a dark-skinned man with an untidy beard shouted and pulled his horse over, drawing the long sword from his waist.

"Chase!!"

"Kill them to death!!"
