Chapter 369 Telling the Truth (3)
Fang Jie's arrangement did not work, because Ye Jinnan had no intention of competing with him for the high ground. First, they sent out cavalry in a gesture of seizing the flag, but Ye Jinnan turned a blind eye. Then he ordered the cavalry to follow and use harassment tactics to slow down the marching speed of Ye Jinnan's army. Ye Jinnan responded to the enemy with his own way and sent the cavalry to go around and follow Fang Jie's cavalry. In the end, the harassment battle turned into a cat-and-mouse game between cavalry and cavalry.
When Fang Jie saw all this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. It is not easy to take advantage of a general who has led troops for more than ten years and has won every battle. He himself had to admit that the previous small methods may not work. Ye Jinnan only assumed a posture of remaining unchanged in response to all changes, and it seemed that all his arrangements were destroyed.
So now, it seems that everything must be solved head-on.
In the eyes of those watching the battle, Fang Jie was already at a disadvantage. Ye Jinnan did not take the path he had set, but he had to take the path set by Ye Jinnan, although the result was exactly what Fang Jie did. want. He occupied the high slope to set up defenses while Ye Jinnan led his troops to attack, but the feeling of being given in by others was not comfortable at all.
Although the result is the same, what you strive for and what others give you will definitely not make people feel the same.
After rushing to the high ground with his men and horses, Fang Jie looked at the surrounding environment and then thought over the calculation in his heart from beginning to end.
This is not a place where one man is a barrier and no one can open it. Although Gao Po is lying in front of Ye Jinnan's army, if it were not for a competition but actually on the battlefield, Ye Jinnan would have no need to attack by force. You can get around it casually.
When it came time for a head-on confrontation, Ye Jinnan's confidence put tremendous pressure on Fang Jie.
Others took the initiative to give up their advantage, which proved that Ye Jinnan had absolute confidence in conquering the high slope. Although both sides had the same strength, Ye Jinnan obviously did not feel that he was at a disadvantage.
"Archers, don't go to the front!"
Seeing the archers from the Shanzi Camp spontaneously stand at the front, Fang Jie shouted loudly to stop them from setting up their formation: "All go behind the high slope, and the shield bearers and long spear bearers arrayed in front. The archers all stood on the high slope. Behind the slope, there are many rows, listen to my command and shoot arrows!"
This arrangement surprised the soldiers. It was completely inconsistent with convention. According to past experience, the archers were at the front of the battle formation, firing arrows to stop the attack, and then quickly retreated to complete the change of formation when the enemy was about to rush to the front of the formation. But Fang Jie ordered the archers to retreat behind the high slope, so that the archers of the Shanzi Camp would have to shoot blindly. Without seeing the enemy, the arrows are sent to the designated place entirely based on the commander's orders.
By doing this, wouldn¡¯t it greatly reduce the power of the archers?
Chen Bishan looked at the hesitation of the soldiers and loudly ordered the soldiers to act according to the general's instructions. He was full of respect for Fang Jie, not just because Fang Jie gave him the robe of a sixth-grade captain, but because Fang Jie recognized him. He has been in the military for many years and understands what Fang Jie's purpose is.
Although it occupies a high slope, it is a large gentle slope. For the attacking side, it is not very difficult to run, and the speed is not greatly affected. At such a distance, there is little difference between whether an archer shoots blindly in front of a high slope or behind a high slope. The most important thing was that Fang Jie knew that Ye Jinnan's troops brought many giant shields. Therefore, Ye Jinnan's attack method can be expected. When the opponent presses forward with a giant shield formation, the threat from the archers is not great.
The giant shield protects the team, just like a giant beetle. By crushing forward like this, the role of the archers is minimal. It is better to let the archers retreat to conserve their energy and use them as a reserve team when the defense line is weak.
After the formation was completed, Fang Jie turned around and told Chen Bishan: "Go and take the people to chop the bamboos, ensuring they are at least one foot long. The more the better."
Chen Bishan was startled and didn¡¯t understand Fang Jie¡¯s intention, but he still followed the instructions and led a team of people to the back of the high slope to cut green bamboo.
Half an hour after Shanzi camp set up their formation, Ye Jinnan's men slowly pressed forward.
Seeing the formation on the high slope, Ye Jinnan put down the clairvoyance in his hand and couldn't help but smile: "You gave up using archers to stop me from attacking from the beginning. Did you see my plan?"
"Shielders, form a formation!"
He ordered loudly, and then the horn sounded loudly.
Six people lined up horizontally, holding the giant shield in front of them. The shield bearer at the back lifted up the giant shields and connected them together, and the ones on the side also had shields next to each other.? brand, leaving only a gap for observation. Between the shield bearers are spearmen, holding wooden sticks in their hands at this time.
Two shield formations were formed, each with 500 people. Ye Jinnan left two hundred elite men as a reserve team, and then ordered two super beetles composed of giant shields to attack the high slope.
On a high slope a mile away, Luo Yao looked here with his clairvoyance.
"The use of troops near the south is still so safe. The high slope is too short and the slope is very gentle. It is best for the shield formation to be pushed forward, and the archers on the defensive side will not be effective. And this is a competition, and it is not allowed to actually hurt people's lives. , so Fang Jie can¡¯t and doesn¡¯t have time to prepare rolling logs, and he doesn¡¯t have a ballista, so he doesn¡¯t have many ways to deal with the shield array.¡±
He smiled and said: "Both of them have given up on using cavalry. It is really boring to let cavalry join in such a competition. With the speed of a cavalry team of a hundred people, they can completely break through the defense line of a thousand infantry. I am interested , to find out where those 150 people are."
Zhan Yao, who was standing next to him, was silent for a while, and suddenly looked towards the green bamboo forest behind the high slope.
Wen Xiaodao glanced at Zhan Yao, thoughtfully.

Inside Yongzhou City
In brothel
Luo Wen knew that he had no other way to go. He pinched the elixir left by Shi Yuan and held it in front of his eyes, then shook his head with a wry smile. I¡¯ve already taken the first one, what else should I worry about with the second one? He stuffed the green pill into his mouth, then poured a glass of water into his stomach.
Unlike the burning pain in your stomach after taking the first pill, this pill gives you a very refreshing feeling after taking it. The coolness made him feel very comfortable, and the heat and pain in his body quickly eased a lot. This made him breathe a long sigh of relief, and he felt relieved a lot.
But after a while, the pain that had been suppressed in the lower abdomen suddenly came out violently. The pain this time was far more severe than the pain caused by the first pill, and it made his body twitch in an instant. He rolled over on the bed holding his belly, and soon his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The next second, Rowan couldn¡¯t hold on anymore and fainted.
When he woke up again, he felt something cold on his forehead. He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked around, and found a familiar figure sitting beside the bed.
"Uncle Zhongwhy are you here?"
Seeing that he was awake, Uncle Zhong quickly helped him sit up: "Master you shouldn't lie to me, let alone listen to the monk's words How can you touch the things of the Buddha so easily!"
When he said this, Luo Wen could feel Uncle Zhong's pain.
"It's my own free will"
Rowan struggled to force out a smile: "Everyone has to fight once, for himself."
"Master, you are too confused!"
Uncle Zhong¡¯s eyes were red, and the meaning in his eyes was very complicated, including distress, anger, regret, and worry.
"What if the general knows about it?"
"It's just a matter of death."
Rowan laughed at himself: "He has no other ability besides beating me to death. He had no intention of giving his things to me in the first place. He might have thought of beating me to death. Beat me to death. I, he can justifiably give everything to outsiders.¡±
Hearing these words, Uncle Zhong's expression changed: "Why did you say this, young master? Although the general is strict, he is your father after all."
"Bah!"
Luo Wen spat: "Now I even doubt whether I am his son!"
"Master!"
Uncle Zhong's face became increasingly ugly. He looked at Luo Wen and said eagerly: "How could the young master think so? I grew up watching you, young master. Don't you even believe me?"
"I believe you"
Luo Wen forced a smile: "I can trust you in the whole house. Uncle Zhong I want to ask you something, and you must tell me the truth. This is related to how I will go forward in the future. If you Lie to me and I won¡¯t forgive you.¡±
"Master, please ask"
"Idoes my father have other children?"
"ah?!"
Uncle Zhong¡¯s expression changed drastically and he couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed. But soon, he shook his head vigorously: "Master, you are the only son of the general. You are the only child of the general."
"I do not believe!"
Rowan struggled and stretched out his hand to grab Uncle Zhong's clothes: "My father arrested many wizards back then. What did he do? Uncle Zhong, you are an old man next to my father. You have followed him since you were young. I know that my father Believe you, there are many things you know now that you must tell!Me, what on earth did my father ask those wizards to do back then? "
"Master, please stop thinking nonsense! The general is just just curious about the witchcraft of those wizards."
"Don't lie to memy mother is also a wizard, right? She also has an affair with Bochi, right? That's why she asked me to go to Cangman Mountain to find Bochi! That's why she helped me hide it Father, her appearance has not changed in twenty years because she also learned witchcraft!"
Uncle Zhong¡¯s body shook violently, and he could hardly stand: ¡°That monk what did he say to you Hateful, hateful!¡±
"Uncle Zhong!"
Luo Wen took his hand and said eagerly: "Shiyuan Tianzun said that my father planned to give all the family property to an outsider instead of me. Is this true? Now that we have arrived, do you still want to mention that he hid it from me? ? I beg you, tell me whatever you know, I don¡¯t want to be kept in the dark anymore! I¡¯ve had enough of this, please tell me, okay!¡±
"Masteryou have to believe that the general has no prejudice against you."
Uncle Zhong said with a hoarse voice. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years older, his body was shaking constantly, and all the strength in his body was drained.
"MadamMadam did do some wrong things back thenback then, but the general didn't pursue anything."
He looked at Luo Wen with distressed eyes: "Yes, Madam has learned witchcraft, so her appearance has remained unchanged for twenty years. This is the witchcraft that Bo Chi invented after painstakingly studying for a long time to please your mother. At that time, the madam had a estrangement from the general because of the young master's affairs, and there was little contact between the two. However, the general felt sorry for his wife and tried to find strange things to make her happy. The general knew that Bo Chi could make her happy. He drove the jackals, tigers, leopards, birds and poisonous insects away, so he sent Bo Chi to the lady to make her happy. Who knew that Bo Chi was a beast and actually had dirty thoughts towards the lady"
"Later, the general vaguely noticed it, so he personally shattered Bochi's heart. But Bochi was prepared in advance and planted insect poison on himself to save his life. The general thought he was dead and sent someone to throw him out of the city. Madam knew that Bo Chi would not die, so she secretly sent someone to rescue Bo Chi and send him to Cangman Mountain"
Luo Wen's face was extremely pale, and his voice trembled as he murmured: "Shi Yuan didn't lie to me"
He was silent for a long time, then suddenly thought of something and raised his head suddenly.
"Uncle Zhongtell me, whose child am I?"
"you¡¡"
Uncle Zhong¡¯s face was distorted for a while, and it took a while before he squeezed out one word at a time: "Of course of course he is the child of the general and his wife"
