Chen Qinglong and I took the escort battalion and rushed for a day, and finally arrived at Sunset Mountain in the middle of the night.

Looking down from the top of the sunset, the vast windswept plains look serene and tranquil under the watery moonlight.

At the bottom of the hill at sunset, a bonfire reflected the orderly arrangement of the large military camp tents that stretched for miles.

"There are about 100,000 horses, the scouts of the Golden Horde are very strong, and there are six-winged scouts of the Iron Horde, we have investigated several times, but there is no big gain. Chen Qinglong said.

"Is there any news from Li Jianxiong's 20,000 people?" I asked.

"Not for the time being, we have sent dozens of scouts to the Two Realms Mountain, but no trace of them has been found. Wu Youliang said with a frown.

I thought for a moment and said, "The Taogan camp moves in the direction of the Liangjie Mountain, and the Taoshan camp moves in the direction of Wolong Mountain, and the middle is handed over to the Taozhi camp. The Workers' Battalion and the Flying Sand and Flying Tiger battalions were repaired and stood by in the Fengwu Plain. ”

Wu Youliang pondered for a moment and said, "General, are you planning to establish a defense line in Sunset Mountain?"

I nodded and said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." On the side of Qingfeng City, as long as there is no clear order, we will not move here. ”

Chen Qinglong said, "Do you want to send someone to check on the situation in Qingfeng City?"

I thought about it, nodded, and said, "By the way, let's go and see the situation of the Jingdong Army, why did the Golden Horde abandon them and turn to us?"

......

......

On the Fengwu Plain, the Workers' Army built a large village in a place called Changjiaping five miles away from Sunset Mountain.

This Dazhai was built according to the standards of the Chinese army camp and can accommodate 30,000 people. On the left and right sides of the battalion, two auxiliary battalions were also built for the Ma troops of the Flying Sand and Flying Tiger battalions.

Since the strategy of sticking to Sunset Mountain was decided, the Golden Horde and we have tacitly agreed that there has been no war in the past half month.

In the defensive plan formulated by Wu Youliang, the Sunset Mountain defense line has become a solid defense line like the pass pass.

The rotation system was implemented on the defense line, and only one banner of men and horses was left in the three infantry camps on the left and right sides every day to monitor the movements of the Golden Horde, and the rest of the men and horses went down to the Fengwu Plain.

Early in the morning, I took Wu Youliang and Chen Qinglong to the industrial and military camp in the rear camp to inspect.

The idea of inspecting was Li Xuefeng, and the most infuriating thing was that his letter was directly handed over to Wu Youliang by Xiong Er, who led the baggage team to transport grain and grass in the rear.

Of course, Wu Youliang reported to me as soon as he read the letter, saying that Secretary Li asked the General Staff Headquarters to formulate a plan for General Xu's daily inspections.

As soon as I saw it, I knew that this guy wanted me to go to cultivate immortals as soon as possible, so that I could take him back to the human world to see my son. But he knew my lazy nature, so he urged me in a different way.

"Do I need you to push me?" I said to Wu Youliang, who was smiling, with squinted eyes.

When I read the letter, I was angry, these people also looked down on me too much, although I was a random person, but I got serious, even I was afraid of myself.

But I still underestimate the power of laziness.

The next morning, when Nert came to wake me up, two little people appeared in my mind, one said, "It's too early, let's sleep a little longer!" and the other said, "Okay."

So I was picked up from the bed by Chen Qinglong, and then I was served by Erte and dressed, washed my face and ate breakfast, and smoked two cigarettes in succession to drive away the sleepy insects, and then I drooped my head and rode on the horse, and followed Wu Youliang and Chen Qinglong to the Houjun barracks.

Before I reached the camp gate, I was shaken by the sound of crackling.

Wu Youliang said with a smile: "It's the industrial battalion that is conducting musket training. ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I thought the family would get married." ”

Chen Qinglong shook his head helplessly and said, "General, it's been three o'clock in the morning, and the soldiers have been training for almost an hour. ”

I covered my mouth and said, "Hahaha, yes, yes, the soldiers have worked hard, hard." ”

At the moment, he sat up straight, and walked towards the rear camp with the escort battalion with a serious face.

"First row, lying down. ”

"The second row, crouching, the guns are loaded. ”

"Third row, put. ”

Huang Youliang was holding a small flag and was commanding in front of the third platoon of sergeants.

"Bang bang bang", a puff of white smoke rose from the field, and the grass targets erected on the opposite side fell one by one.

I smiled, and sure enough, it was a three-stage shot.

Turning his head, Wu Youliang and the others watched it with relish.

When he turned around and saw me, Huang Youliang hurriedly ran over, saluted my chest, and said, "General Xu, the Engineer Battalion is conducting shooting training, please instruct." ”

I dismounted, raised my hand and saluted back, saying, "Keep training." ”

Huang Youliang said loudly: "Yes." ”

But he handed the flag in his hand to an officer next to him, and some dog-legged people followed me, and said with a smile: "General, do you want to see our craftsman flag? ”

I looked back at Wu Youliang, and he nodded, thinking that he also wanted to take a look.

So after following Wu Youliang to the camp tent, he saw dozens of large sheds supporting a clearing with coal stoves burning in them, and blacksmiths were clanging iron. In the rest of the place there were sitting and standing carpenters, tinsmiths, tanners, and so on.

I got off the horse and walked to the shed a little strangely, and a blacksmith who was striking iron quickly put down the work in his hand, walked quickly in front of me and knelt down and said, "Hello General Xu, Zhang Gui, the head of the craftsman banner, greets you." ”

I waved my hand and said with a smile, "Get up, get up, don't you know that I don't like people kneeling for me?"

The people around me gathered around and looked at me with a smile.

Zhang Gui stood up with some embarrassment and said: "The villain was originally from Qianyuan City, and he fled to Taoyuan, thank you to the general for taking in my family." ”

I nodded and said, "You have craftsmanship, this is an advantage, and life will get better and better in the future." ”

Zhang Gui laughed and said: "The life of Chaoyang Temple is much better than that of me in Qianyuan City, and we have made an oath that we will definitely work hard for Chaoyang Temple and Second Brother Xu." ”

I smiled, but I scolded Li Xuefeng dozens of times in my heart.

The special Li Xuefeng brought the personality cult of the human world to Chaoyang Temple, which made me very stressed!

Huang Youliang said to me with a smile: "General, the main job of the craftsman banner is to repair weapons, and according to the needs of the army, we have made some military equipment. ”

I smiled and said, "That's good, but I also hope that you can combine with the military industrial zone in the mountains behind Chaoyang Temple to establish a research and development institute and invent some new weapons." Sometimes, it takes surprise to be able to overcome the enemy. ”

Huang Youliang took out a small notebook and a charcoal pen from his coat pocket and wrote down my words.

I looked at him a little strangely and said, "You are well equipped, and you still have a pen and paper with you at all times." ”

Huang Youliang said with a smile: "Aren't you used to this, Chief Tao Education said that everyone must learn cultural knowledge, and Secretary Li also requires every sergeant to be literate, and also set a rule for us to study for half an hour every night when we are not fighting." ”

I looked back at Wu Youliang, who said with a smile: "I also agree with Secretary Li's opinion, the educated army is indeed stronger than the uneducated army, and the whole army is now implementing this, and the transmission of orders is smoother than before." ”

I nodded, if this continues, the Taoyuan Army will become the strongest army in the Qingfeng and even the Immortal God Realm, just around the corner.

Back to the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Youliang went to inspect the defense line of Sunset Mountain, and Chen Qinglong went to the scout camp to sort out the information received last night and this morning, but I had nothing to do, so I had to sit outside the big tent, basking in the sun and drinking tea in a daze.

Until Chen Qinglong hurriedly came with information.

Sure enough, Qingfeng City was besieged.

......

......

The big tent of the Chinese army, and the commanders of all battalions were gathered here by me for a meeting.

"Outside Qingfeng City, it's already thousands of miles away. The Golden Horde surrounded Qingfeng City on all sides, but the walls of Qingfeng City were more than five zhang high, and the Qingfeng Army was strong, but it was currently in the stage of confrontation. ”

After introducing the information that the scouts heard, Chen Qinglong said.

Wu Youliang pondered for a long time, and said: "It's October now, and the Golden Horde chose to besiege the city in October, and when the first snow falls in December, what will they do?"

Bailijiang stood up and said, "General, the Golden Horde may have built a supply point in the four towns in front of the mountain, and we can send a surprise army to sneak from Wolong Mountain to the four towns in front of the mountain to cut off their supplies. ”

I waved my hand and said, "That's not the problem. The question now is whether we can save Qingfeng City. ”

Baili Jiang was stunned, and then his face showed indignation.

I smiled and said, "General Baili can understand the combat strength of the Golden Horde?"

Baili Jiang was stunned for a moment and said: "In previous years, there was no Golden Horde Army, and there was no statement of the Silver Horde Army, but I think the Silver Horde Army is not enough, so what is the Golden Horde afraid of?"

Wu Youliang said at this time: "Commander of Baili, do you know that the Silver Horde Army is easy to solve, and it is not our battle, it is all thanks to the water attack strategy of the general and General Fang."

Li Jianxiong's 50,000 silver horde army attacked the Wolong Mountain camp, and in just seven or eight days, the industrial army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and this was still when the industrial army had muskets and artillery.

What's more, the 20,000 people who ran away in the end, the 2,000 soldiers and horses behind the Flying Tiger Battalion, and the 2,000 soldiers and horses galloping to the aid of the Flying Sand Battalion, were not stopped. ”

Baili Jiang was stunned again, but soon came to his senses, and said to me with some shame: "But it is Baili who underestimated the enemy, please forgive the general." ”

I smiled, waved my hand, and said, "It's meant to be a discussion, why are you guilty?"

At this time, Huang Youliang stood up and said, "General, I have an idea. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Just say it." ”

Huang Youliang smiled and said, "I think we can attack with a partial division, open a passage, and escort our industrial battalion into Qingfeng City with artillery." ”

Wu Youliang was interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is the reason for the industrial army camp to enter Qingfeng City?"

Huang Youliang said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, when we were testing a round of artillery in the rear camp, we rode the war horse of the military camp and blew up the nest. ”

When I heard this, I laughed, stood up and walked in front of Huang Youliang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How did I forget that there is still this trick?"

Yes, for these Three Realms war horses who have never seen the world, as soon as the artillery is heard, the proud cavalry on the grassland will disperse.

He immediately stood still and said to the generals: "How can others be allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch? Let's solve the 100,000 people in front of Sunset Mountain first, and then talk about the matter of rushing to the aid of Qingfeng City." ”
