Chapter 180 Half-Belief and Half-Doubt
Ji Huanan glanced at Bai Erlang, and both of them didn't believe that Bai Li could have any heavenly thunder.
Ji Huanan also believed that Yuanzhou was able to destroy 100,000 enemy troops because of General Bai.
As for Bai Li, she might be a little clever and have good martial arts skills.
But what strategies and tactics could a little girl who had never been to a battlefield have to destroy an army of 100,000?
If her father hadn't been around, she would have probably been scared to tears by the sight of the huge sea of heads in the 100,000-strong army.
Anyway, no matter what, he would never believe that Bai Li could accomplish such a great feat by himself.
Bai Erlang had the same idea, but his father wanted to help his sister get promoted. Although he didn't understand what his father meant, he would protect his sister and cooperate with his father's approach.
In that case, he decided to keep quiet and wait and see how Major General Nangong deploys the plan.
Ji Huanan had the same idea as Bai Erlang. He didn't know why General Bai pushed his daughter to the position and gave her all the military merits, but he believed that General Bai must have his own plans for doing so.
He couldn't help but think of the incident where General Bai's daughter had her engagement broken off.
Could it be that because his daughter's engagement was broken off by the Zhao family, he wanted to help her rise up so that he could arrange a marriage in the future?
Yes, a divorced woman, now that her parents’ family can’t help her, must rely on herself.
Only if you have strong personal qualities can you find a good husband in the future, otherwise your life will be wasted.
However, as long as we can win the battle, who cares who gets the military credit between the father and daughter?
Besides Bai Erlang and Ji Huanan, Shangguan Yu also did not believe that the victory in Yuanzhou was the result of Bai Li alone.
Yes, Bai Li is very skilled. He believes that she can defeat any general in a one-on-one fight.
But he didn't believe that she could destroy Simon's 100,000-strong army. No one except General Bai could do it.
He didn't believe it in his heart and didn't want to say it out loud. After all, the great victory in Yuanzhou boosted morale, and everyone was ready to defeat the Laotian army in one fell swoop with this momentum.
Regardless of their different thoughts, Nangong Min looked at the map and deployed according to the guerrilla tactics that Bai Li had mentioned before.
Since the Laotian army has openly issued a declaration of war, a fight will inevitably ensue.
He had to select candidates for the fighting generals, and then give the Laotian army a warning and dampen their morale.
The candidates for the fighting generals are naturally Ji Huanan, Deputy General Mu, and Shangguan Yu.
Pick a few more from the Bai family army, that's basically enough.
The personnel were selected and were about to leave when He Dazhuang unexpectedly came to the door to ask for a meeting.
Nangong Min called him in, and the first thing he said was: "Major General, I want to be the vanguard, the first to take the lead. How can I be without He Dazhuang?"
When Nangong Min looked up and saw the strong man like a calf, he remembered that he was born with great strength and was a famous strongman in the military camp.
When Bai Li first came, he was dissatisfied with her being the captain and challenged her to a duel. In a few seconds, she threw him to the ground like a broken sack.
From that moment on, he was completely devoted to her and convinced...
"Okay, you're one."
Nangong Min agreed readily and felt more confident about tomorrow's battle.
The next day, just after dawn, there was a bustling crowd and the sound of horses' hooves ten miles away from the Qianxi military camp.
The messenger came to report that the Laotian army had set up its battle array ten miles away, claiming that if Nangong Min did not dare to fight, they would lead their troops to flatten the border of western Guizhou and attack Huanglong directly.
Nangong Min immediately ordered the troops to assemble, leaving 5,000 soldiers to guard the base camp and leading 10,000 soldiers to fight.
Bai Erlang was puzzled. If he brought all the soldiers, there would still be a one in a thousand chance of winning. But if he only brought 10,000, there would probably not even be one in ten thousand.
But his words were of little importance and there was no point in saying anything, so he simply kept silent.
Ten miles away, there was an open grassland on the hillside, which was the place where Bai Li had killed 5,000 Laotian soldiers last time.
At this time, Hao Wu's sinister eyes were staring straight at the direction of Da Zhou, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip.
Of course he knew that this place was the burial place of his cousin Hao Ao, who was born with supernatural powers. He was the glory of the Hao family, but he led his troops to Da Zhou on a whim last year and never went back.
As for the bullshit about punishment by heavenly thunder, he didn't believe it. It was a pity that the bitch named Bai Li was not here this time. If she were here, he would have chopped off her head with his own hands to avenge his cousin!
But it doesn't matter. I heard that she is in Yuanzhou. Once we take action here, King Jin will lead his troops to burn, kill and loot everywhere near Yuanzhou, disrupting the deployment of the Great Zhou army. When the two countries attack from both sides, won't this tiny piece of land of Great Zhou be in the hands of the Laotian Kingdom?
As for how to separate from Simon later, that is the emperor's business!
When Hao Wu's thoughts drifted away, the military flag of the Great Zhou appeared in the eyes of the Laotian army.
"Here they come! The Great Zhou army is here!"
"Hmph, you've come just in time. This time we'll make sure they never come back!"
The Laotian general Qu Baou was arrogant and did not take those few troops seriously at all.
The Great Zhou army stopped about one thousand meters away from the Laotian army and quickly formed a battle formation.
There are no mountain walls or trees here. In order to avoid being surrounded, Nangong Min assigned a thousand people to the rear to spread out and guard.
Qu Baou looked at Nangong Min, who was leading the group, from a distance with a squint, as if he was watching a joke.
Just as Nangong Min had made all the arrangements, a fast horse came from the Laotian side, carrying a young general with two swords.
He shouted from a distance: "Coward of the Great Zhou, who dares to fight with me, Wu Mu!"
He Dazhuang glared and immediately wanted to rush forward.
"Don't worry, this guy is cunning by nature and good at using two swords. You will suffer if you go up first. Let Shangguan Yu go first!"
Shangguan Yu: So he is the cunning nemesis?
But there was no hesitation in his mouth, and he immediately answered: "Yes!"
The two war horses met in the middle. After exchanging names, Shangguan Yu squinted at Wu Mu with disdain, "Wu Mu or Turtle? You Lao people are not that good, yet your names are so outstanding!"
When Wu Mu heard this, he screamed in anger and rushed over with his two swords in hand.
Shangguan Yu naturally wouldn't let him get close to him. He swung his spear, and the weapons collided with a "clang!" sparks flew. Both of them used all their strength and started fighting.
Shangguan Yu used a long spear, each inch longer and each inch stronger. Nangong Min only saw the flash of swords and spears as the two figures fought back and forth. After a while, the young Laotian general was stabbed in the shoulder by a spear and fell off his horse.
Shangguan Yu was about to fire again when he was rescued by several infantrymen from Wumu Lao.
When the drum sounded for retreat, Shangguan Yu had to ride back.
"Haha! In the first round, our Great Zhou wins!"
Ji Huanan laughed loudly to boost morale, while the Laotian army on the other side screamed in anger.
Not long after, the Laotian army sent another general.
I saw that this man was eight feet tall, his eyes were like copper bells, his body was like an iron tower, and the muscles in his arms bulged, which made people want to retreat just by looking at him.
"This man is the famous Laotian strongman known as Black Bull. It's said he can crush rocks with his hands and collapse mountains with his feet. He's incredibly strong and has never had an opponent."
Ji Huanan was knowledgeable and immediately approached Nangong Min to explain things to him.
"He Dazhuang, do you have the confidence to challenge him?"
