Chapter 374: People's Heart

"Encirclement?"

Faced with Wu Jinglin's suggestion, Chen Hai smiled and was noncommittal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The counties of Tianshui have been plagued by military disasters for many years, and if they could not defend the fortified city in the past, they would often collapse at the first touch. To say that Wu Cheng dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to find a fighter, Chen Hai didn't believe it, but seeing Wu Jinglin's eyes full of anticipation, it was not easy to discourage his enthusiasm, at this time the battle situation was not stable, he just wanted to use the empty city plan to bluff the more terrifying demon barbarians in the north, but the main force of the Tianshui County soldiers dared to come out of the Guan River, and the empty city plan would be more seamless.

Chen Hai nodded and responded to Wu Jinglin, and rushed to Guanhe City to find Wu Cheng for help.

The distance between Yucheng Ridge and Hengshan is far from safe, Wu Jinglin is surrounded by several entourage, and takes the royal spirit bird to pass through the peaks at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, and returns to Hengshan City first, and the auxiliary soldiers and Minyong who stayed in Hengshan City heard that the main force had hit Yucheng Ridge, and they were overjoyed, but the generals of the Longxiang battalion who stayed in Hengshan did not look excited, as if victory was taken for granted.

Time was pressing, and he couldn't take a break, Wu Jinglin changed to a black cunning horse in Hengshan City, and went all the way to the west, heading to Guanhe City.

The scorching west wind swept the goose feather-sized snowflakes on Wu Jinglin's face, but Wu Jinglin didn't feel it at all, but a heroic aura in his heart was full.

In previous years, although the important town of Hengshan did not fall, but afraid of the brutality of the demons, never took any effective means of protection for the main cities and villages and towns around the wall, often after the demons knocked on the side, the inside and outside of the Hengshan defense line were a mess.

This time, Wu Jinglin rushed to Guanhe City from the southern hinterland of the Hengshan defense line, and along the way, he could see the people transporting grain and grass trampling the official road into a mess, but he did not see the tragic scene of knocking on the pass in the past, and thought that if the clan uncle Wu Cheng could decisively send troops this time, he would be able to greatly weaken the strength of the demon barbarians, and he could ensure the peace of the border for several years.

Wu Jinglin pondered the rhetoric of going to the Governor's Mansion in his heart, and the majestic Guanhe City gradually appeared in the field of vision of several people.

Guanhe City is located in the west of the Hengshan defense line, relying on the Falling Immortal Cliff to build, and is the most important defensive base of Tianshui County in the north of Huayang Ridge. If Guanhe City is lost, thousands of miles north from Huayang Ridge will appear in front of the demon barbarians, and they will be taken.

Because it was wartime, even the southern gate of Guanhe City was closed, in case there were demonic elites who might attack the southern city tower in a roundabout way.

The head of the city is stubborn, and the guard of the South City Tower is also a disciple of the Huayang Sect, and when he saw Wu Jinglin and others coming over, he quickly opened the city and let him come.

Wu Jinglin looked at the mottled city wall of Guanhe City, and sighed with emotion, almost every year Guanhe City will be attacked by demons and barbarians, this year, history is finally going to be rewritten.

"Senior Brother Wu!" the gatekeeper saluted Wu Jinglin, and when he saw that there were only a few horsemen behind Wu Jinglin, he asked in a panic, "Could it be that Hengshan City has been lost again?"

The Nancheng guard was worried in his heart, thinking that he would have to face the demon army again in a few days, and his teeth chattered.

Wu Jinglin glanced around, and found that several soldiers who assisted in opening the door also stopped what they were doing, looked at him with a nervous face, clenched his fists to the sky, and said excitedly: "Hengshan City, great victory!"

There was silence under the city gate, and everyone stared at Wu Jinglin and a few people, not believing everything Wu Jinglin said, but Wu Jinglin and a few people behind him looked at the wind and dust, but they were all neatly dressed, and the war horses were solemn, it really didn't look like a defeated retreat, could it be that Hengshan City relied on the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Longxiang battalion to really hold it?

"Great victory! Great victory! Yokoyama great victory!!" a soldier waved his fist excitedly and shouted, and the atmosphere of ecstasy quickly spread, and for a time the city wall thundered with joy.

Wu Jinglin frowned slightly, Guanhe City and Hengshan City are only more than 600 miles apart, there should be no need for additional summons from the Longxiang battalion, Guanhe City should know the situation on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, could it be that Guanhe City has not even sent out scout sentry cavalry?

Thinking about the main fortifications such as Guanhe City and Hengshan City in previous years, there were demons and barbarians all over the mountains, even if they sent scouts, they suffered heavy casualties, and it became a habit to simply not send scouts and close the city to defend it, speaking of which, he forgot to remind Chen Hai and send someone to notify this side in time.

While the gatekeeper was excited, he still did not forget to order his subordinates to take Wu Jinglin and a few people to the Governor's Mansion.

The soldier took Wu Jinglin and a few people to walk a few steps, and suddenly left Wu Jinglin and a few people, and ran towards the Taiwei Mansion with their hands dancing, shouting as they ran: "Hengshan great victory! Hengshan great victory!" ran a few steps, but was slipped forward by the snow on the road, and rolled out a few meters away.

Wu Jinglin and the others looked at his awkward posture, looked at each other and smiled, he was also an elite old man with a foundation in the Xuan Realm, and he actually slipped and fell, which shows how excited he was in his heart.

Nothing beats messaging, and if there is, that's good news.

Along the way, the entire Guanhe City seemed to come to life, and there were crowds shouting and cheering for the victory everywhere.

Wu Jinglin's nose was slightly sour, and he made up his mind that he must persuade his uncle Wu Cheng to encircle and annihilate the demon barbarians trapped between Hengshan and Yuchengling, and he should be able to exchange for a few years of border peace.

When he arrived at the Duwei Mansion, someone had already gotten the news and was waiting outside the mansion gate, so he first picked up Wu Jinglin and told him that Wu Cheng and the others were waiting in the middle hall, and then the others arranged to rest.

Passing through the palace gate, bypassing the corridor, and looking at the quaint plaque of "Hua Ruoyangxi" in the middle of the central hall, Wu Jinglin took a deep breath and entered the hall, thinking that the peace of Tianshui County in the next few years this year will be decided at this moment!

"Wu Jinglin meets Wu Duwei, meets Uncle Zhou and Uncle Liao!"

"Jinglin get up quickly, come here, give a seat. Let's talk about it, how did Hengshan win this time, and what were the results!" Wu Cheng, who had multiple dignitaries such as the Huayang Sect Protector Elder, the Wu Clan Elder, and the Tianshui County Governor, smiled and asked him to be exempt, holding two sleek cyan jade stones in his hands.

Wu Jinglin did not shirk either, and after saluting Wu Cheng and Zhou Tong, the lord of the Zhou clan who was not under Wu Cheng, and Liao Yunkui, the elder of the Huayang Sect, the Dharma Protector Elder of the Huayang Sect, he sat down and talked about the battle in Hengshan for a few days.

When the terrifying lethality of the heavy crossbow was mentioned, Tiancheng, Zhou Tong, Liao Yunkui and the other generals in the hall all took a breath of cold air.

"In this battle, a total of more than 10,000 demons were killed, and another 40,000 or so demons were hovering between Hengshan and Yucheng Ridge. The Longxiang army was short of troops at this time, but it had decided to rely on the Yucheng Ridge in the north to build a defensive fortress and build a forward stronghold, as long as the clan uncle could send troops, cooperate with the Longxiang army, and destroy the 40,000 barbarian soldiers, and protect the peace of my Tianshui counties for several years. Although Wu Jinglin had deliberated on this statement countless times before, his face was still red with excitement at this time.

"However, my Tianshui Zhu has been weak for many years, this time with the help of the Long Xiang Army, and when I encounter such a good opportunity, I will do my best to pay for it, in order to complete the battle. Liao Yunkui was excited, high-fived and admired, and waited for Wu Jinglin to agree loudly.

However, Wu Cheng and Zhou Tong exchanged glances with each other and remained silent.

Wu and Zhou did not join in, and the hall fell silent for a while.

Wu Jinglin looked at the three supreme powers in Guanhe City in front of him puzzled, and Liao Yunkui also looked at Wu Cheng and Zhou Tong who were silent.

"Ahem! This Yokoyama victory was really not what we expected, and we were not ready to send troops. Besides, the demon is brutal and brutal, and the city is defended, and our soldiers can still fight, and go directly to the outside of the city to meet each other, I'm afraid that the disciples will not be able to catch it!" Zhou Tong coughed dryly, and broke the deadlock first.

"Now Chen Hai led his troops north to kill the enemy for thousands of miles, killing the demons and barbarians without the power to fight back, and at this time they built a fortress in Yucheng Ridge, which is likely to block tens of millions of demons. As long as we go out of Hengshan, defend it according to Hengshan City, take over the defense, and then send the elite to cooperate with the Longxiang army to attack from the north and south sides, and harvest the demons between the two lines, why not?"

"I have also discussed with Chen Hai, when the children of Tianshui Counties take over the defense of Hengshan, the encirclement and annihilation of the demon barbarians will still be dominated by the Longxiang army, and our department only needs to assist from the side. Besides, Chen Hai said that if Guanhe was afraid of a small group of demons invading, he only needed to send enough people who could take over the defense of Hengshan, so that all the Longxiang troops could act cheaply. Wu Jinglin's face was full of suspicion, why don't you do things that are beneficial but harmless, and you can train your troops and gain military merits in vain?

"In this battle of Hengshan, Jinglin, you have worked hard, and I still need to discuss with you Zhou Shibo and Liao Shibo in the long run, and I can't say that I have to send someone to ask the county pastor for instructions. You must know that between the Hengshan and Yucheng Mountains, thousands of miles deep, there is no danger to rely on, no one is noticed, and they are trapped in the demon barbarian array, and tens of thousands of children are in danger. And the demon barbarian is known to be good at cannibalism, according to the city and guard, the soldier can also return to the ancestral grave after his death, if he dies in the wild, he becomes a thing in the belly of the demon barbarian, the soul can not return to his hometown, the corpse can not be fully headed, how can you hold yourself? Running all the way, you are also tired, go down to rest first. I'll talk to you Uncle Zhou and Uncle Liao again. Wu Cheng immediately ordered someone to take Wu Jinglin down to rest.

*************************

"Why? Why do you think Wu Cheng and the others won't send troops?"

Looking at Su Aya, who was puffing up and questioning him in front of him, Chen Hai smiled: "For decades, Tianshui County has been defending the city, occasionally facing the demons, and also fighting in close quarters when ascending the city. Now that they are facing the demons in the wild, do you think they will directly scare their legs and stomachs. At that time, it will only increase the casualties and damage his own strength, if Wu Cheng is not a fool, he will not send troops. ”

"But we just let them defend the city, if they have extra troops, they can cooperate with the Longxiang army to destroy the enemy outside the city, if they are afraid, they only need to liberate our troops in Hengshan Zhuzhai, and there is a great chance to encircle and annihilate these 40,000 demons. What are they afraid of? Why wouldn't they agree? Aren't they stupid if they don't catch such a good fighter?" Thinking of the demon's huge fangs and hideous face, Su Aya shuddered, and her tone was much weaker, but she still asked unwillingly.

"What are they afraid of? They are afraid that our Longxiang army will fight bloody battles outside, but they will be shrunken turtles in the city and be ridiculed by the people of the world! What are they afraid of? They are afraid that our Longxiang army will have a brilliant record and shake the hearts of the people who rule Tianshui County! What are they afraid of? They are afraid that after this battle, our Longxiang army will not lose its tail and slowly eat away at his Tianshui County! They are not stupid, they are too smart!" Chen Hai put his hands behind his back and said lightly.

When Su Aya heard this, she stood on the cliff and was stunned for a long time.

Chen Hai ignored her and flew down the Lone Peak cliff to inspect the progress of the construction of the village.

**********************

At this moment, Wu Jinglin sat in the room dejectedly, the room was in spring, and the sandalwood was curling, but the food on the red lacquered wooden table had long been out of heat.

With her temples shaking, a maid in green clothes walked into the room, looked at the food that had not been touched with chopsticks, and saluted: "But the food is not to Wu Ye's appetite?"

Wu Jinglin waved his hand weakly and let the maid go down, thinking of his colleagues who were fighting on the front line, and became disgusted with the comfort in front of him. Thinking about the promise he made to Chen Hai when he was leaving, he felt guilty. But no matter what, he couldn't think of such a good opportunity, and Wu Cheng had to let it go.

Kicking and kicking, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The door was pushed open with a bang, and the wind and snow rolled in with the comers, and the light and shadow flickered a few times, but it was still stable.

"Jinglin, let me ask you a few things!" It turned out to be Uncle Liao Yunkui.

Wu Jinglin hurriedly got up and saluted, and asked his uncle Liao Yunkui to sit down!

The two sat down, Wu Jinglin looked at Liao Yunkui in a black robe, full of anger, I don't know why!

"Jinglin, if I lead people to guard Yucheng Ridge, can Chen Hai lead the Long Xiang Army to sweep away the demons and barbarians in the territory?"

Looking at the angry Liao Yunkui, Wu Jinglin pondered for a moment: "Uncle Liao, if you are really willing to contribute to the people of Tianshui County, I still suggest that you take over the defense of Hengshan." In this way, the Long Xiang army freed up its hands from Hengshan, echoing with Yucheng Ridge, and the encirclement and annihilation of the demon were more certain. Speaking of this, he muttered for a while: "Besides, Yucheng Ridge is only a newly built camp, and all kinds of defenses are not very well prepared, and it is also possible to attract more demon barbarian combat power from the north to besiege it, and the battle in the later stage is very likely to be fierce, but no matter what, we have to defend Yucheng Ridge for the Long Xiang camp without losing ......."

"That's it, as a foreign soldier, the Long Xiang army dares to go out of the city to attack, kill the demons and barbarians in the snowfield, and also protect the millions of people south of the Hengshan defense line from being destroyed, how can we sit back and watch the loss of the fighter plane? Moreover, as a foreign soldier, the Long Xiang army can fight to the death for tens of millions of children in Tianshui County, if we only dare to lead our troops to defend the rear fortress, it will only make the world laugh, and we will also go to Yuchengling if we want to fight," Liao Yunkui finished speaking, slapped the table with a "snap", and said resolutely: "Wu Cheng, Zhou Tong has no guts, and I still have six thousand elites available under my command. That's it, you rest early, and then arrange your departure tomorrow!"

After speaking, he didn't give Wu Jinglin a chance to answer, and got up and left.

Walking to the door, Liao Yunkui paused, turned around and said: "Is that wind and flame airship in the Tianji Academy Palace safe? ”

Looking at Liao Yunkui's serious appearance, Wu Jinglin swept away the gloom, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

If 6,000 soldiers and horses want to participate in the battle in Yuchengling as quickly as possible, taking the Wind Flame Airship is undoubtedly the fastest......
