"There are less than 6,000 people, and if you add the archers sent by the Great Prince, it will only be 8,000 people!" The sergeant lowered his head and snorted, and said helplessly: "Those who don't come are smart people!"

Shi Jiu looked left and right and said, "I can understand your helplessness, but this number is far from enough!"

"Yes, so our commander-in-chief is a little impatient, she personally went to the various camps to lobby, and it is estimated that not many people will come. The sergeant said without confidence: "Originally, the forward army was the cannon fodder of this war!"

Shi Jiu hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple, that's what everyone says, the vanguard army is the army that sends the dead, and that guy will join the vanguard army when his brain is in water. The sergeant said bluntly: "The first batch of people who signed up for the vanguard army are all poor veterans, if it weren't for leaving more silver taels for their families, who would come here to work hard?!"

Shi Jiu sighed and said, "Hey, you are now a member of the Vanguard Army!"

"I can't help it, when I signed up to join, I thought that the vanguard army could not only get more silver, but also be the first to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, glorifying the ancestors, and now I want to regret it, it's too late!"

Shi Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You all have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but you can't think of it." ”

"Don't lie to me, we already know that we are going to round up two fierce spirit beasts, where is there a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?"

Shi Jiu said: "I said that there is a chance, there must be! Believe it or not!"

The sergeant stared at Shi Jiu for a long time with a pair of unbelievable eyes, and he sneered: "I know that you are a popular person next to the great prince, and my little soldier is a death!"

When Shi Jiu and this sergeant were talking, Li Junru came back with a sad face, and Shi Jiu had already seen that Li Jun's lobbying must not have gone well.

Without waiting for Shi Jiu to ask, Li Junru said by himself: "After a morning of propaganda and lobbying, no one is willing to join the vanguard army, it seems that there are only the current 6,000 people!"

"Now almost all the sergeants know the dangerous situation of the vanguard army!" Shi Jiu said: "So Aunt Li, don't worry, the vanguard army is not much, since the eldest prince has promised to send an additional two thousand archers, I think if necessary, you can continue to increase, you can wait for my good news in the barracks." ”

Shi Jiu arched his hand after speaking, and left without looking back.

Li Junru looked at Shi Jiu's mysterious appearance and felt a little incredible, but he didn't expect that Shi Jiu just walked around outside and then returned to the camp of the vanguard army.

Li Junru wanted to ask Shi Jiu why he turned around in the tent outside at random, and returned to the big tent of the forward army, Shi Jiu had already crouched in Li Junru's ear and said: "The round-up plan has changed, I will inform you now, because it involves the core secrets, so I can't alarm too many people." ”

plum

Jun Ru was stunned for a moment, although she didn't know exactly what happened, but she knew that this was the result of Shi Jiu's operation, so Li Junru nodded thoughtfully and waited for Shi Jiu to continue to explain.

"You and the vanguard army you lead may not need to be cannon fodder!" Shi Jiu continued: "When the general attack begins, you lead the vanguard army to feign a fierce attack, and then leave a gap in the col leading to the east side, the distance of the gap cannot be too large, nor too small, it must be just enough for the two divine spirit beasts to pass through smoothly, you can control this measure yourself." ”

Li Junru frowned, and asked suspiciously: "If you do this, you will undoubtedly save the divine spirit beasts, can the great prince agree to let go of the two divine spirit beasts?"

"Don't worry, it's not just Tie Fei who agreed to this plan!" Shi Jiu said with a smile: "And Tie Fei and I have already gone to the Dracula Alliance to find King Dracula, and the final result of the discussion is like this!"

Li Junru gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Haha! Shi Jiu, you really have two hits! No wonder my daughter admires you so much!"

"Aunt Li has won the prize!" Shi Jiu continued with a shy face: "The danger level of the forward army led by Aunt Li has been greatly reduced in this plan, because in the previous plan, Draculabang's Poison Gu Legion went deep into the valley to divide the two Divine Spirit Beasts, and this time they still need their Poison Gu Legion to stop the Divine Spirit Beasts from running around, so their chances of survival will be very small." ”

Li Junru snorted, she didn't have the slightest good impression of Draculabang's Poison Gu Legion, so she said viciously: "It's not a pity that these guys from the Poison Gu Legion die!"

"If Aunt Li, you lead the forward army to defend the valley and cut off the retreat of the spirit beasts, you may be able to annihilate the spirit beasts in one fell swoop, but it is also very likely to be injured by the crazy counterattack of the two spirit beasts. Shi Jiu said: "So based on the above points, I think it should be surrounded but not blocked, which can not only give the spirit beast a way to live, but also save the thousands of people led by Aunt Li from falling into the quagmire of life and death." ”

Li Junru asked, "I can see that this is your idea for the eldest prince." If it can really be implemented smoothly, we, the vanguard troops who are ready to die, can be regarded as saving our lives. So I'm curious to know what's next for this plan, you can tell me. ”

"In fact, the role of the vanguard army is no longer to attack the spirit beast, but to give the spirit beast a chance to escape and create a passage. What needs to be solved now is the size and direction of the passage that Aunt Li, you have left, and you can't see at a glance that it is deliberately disguised. Shi Jiu said: "And it must look like it is presented naturally, so that the two divine spirit beasts can choose to escape here." ”

Li Junru said: "This passage can only go to the valley, and when I saw the two real god beasts, I temporarily arranged it according to the actual situation. ”

"Yes, you can control this on the spot. Shi Jiu nodded and said, "All that's left is to wait for the Divine Spirit Beast to completely cross the mountain col on the east side, and at this point, your forward army mission will be completed." ”

Li Junru asked with some puzzlement: "If you say so."

Two or three thousand men in my vanguard army is enough, why did you just say that you still need to send me more troops?"

"You leading this vanguard army to let go of the spirit beast is just the first step in this plan!" Shi Jiu said softly: "At this point, the task of the vanguard army you led to contain the spirit beast has been completed, but as the task of blocking the Dracula army, it has just begun. ”
