Jiang Huaiyi hesitated slightly: "There are generally two ways to build a new town, one is natural development, a certain place has a large population and a relatively prosperous economy, so that more people will live in, when the number of people reaches a certain level, the government will naturally appoint officials to manage, and with the increase of population, the administrative unit will also be promoted."

The other is sudden events, such as wars, disasters, etc., which cause a large number of people to suddenly gather in a certain place, and these people do not leave for a long time, and the government will also send people to manage them, and if this situation continues, it will slowly become a town. “

"The second method is a bit noticeable, unless we lead the war to a certain place and arrange it in advance, but then there will be many outsiders to join, it seems that we can only use the first method, and it is not easy to gather many people naturally without attracting the attention of the outside world."

"There is nothing difficult about it, our organization just has no shortage of people, what we lack is just a reason to bring everyone together appropriately."

Yin Lei said: "It is not difficult to make a reason for many people to gather, with our well-informed and huge organization, it is enough to release the news that a large number of mineral deposits have been found in a certain place or other news that can attract many people, and the difficulty is how to refuse outsiders to enter." “

Jiang Huaiyi said: "This is simple, as long as people find out that this is fake news after gathering, people will naturally leave, and then our people will not leave." “

Yin Lei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to Brother Jiang before Brother Yu leaves the customs, and this matter will be done as much as possible before the winter, and I don't have much time to take care of the children during the retreat." “

"Don't worry, the hall master, spreading rumors and other things is our specialty."

Then the two of them briefly discussed it and left.

Although Yin Lei's team suffered few casualties in this battle, most of them were also wounded, and the next day both sides sent a large number of scouts to guard the surroundings, but they had no intention of doing it again.

In this way, after nearly half a month, Yin Lei's subordinates have basically recovered except for the seriously injured.

Time flies, most of May has passed in a blink of an eye, and in the early morning of this day, Yin Lei, Wang Qing, Yan Shengxue and others began to discuss and prepare to completely defeat this support army and return to Anxi to help Zhao Hongfei, but Tanma came with the news that Ziyun's second batch of reinforcements had arrived.

Yin Lei and Wang Qing heard this, and hurriedly took dozens of personal soldiers out of the camp and followed Tanma to the south, when they came to more than twenty miles away and saw the camp that had been basically repaired by Ziyun, they saw a thousand light cavalry slowly entering this camp.

Yin Lei looked around the camp carefully, but saw that this time they had filled in the horse traps outside the gate of the village, but more horse traps had been dug in the corners.

Looking at the front with a solemn expression, Yin Lei asked without replying, "How many people are here?" ”

"About 3,000 heavy cavalry, 3,000 spearmen, and 3,000 light cavalry."

Wang Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Fortunately, it seems that these are just ordinary soldiers near Pengzhou Mansion and Wuma, Li Jinquan's people should be stumped by General Liu's people, as long as they are not elite soldiers, there is no problem." ”

Yin Lei shook his head and said: "The point is not the number of people, as long as reinforcements come, their morale will be high, and we will have many more casualties when we fight, it has only been out for more than a month, and we have lost hundreds of people, which is not good, but I know how many people there are in their camp now." ”

"According to the calculations of the garbage they discarded, there were about 10,000 people in this camp before these people came."

Yin Lei thought for a while and said, "Continue to monitor their every move, and report back immediately if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Yes, General Xuanyuan."

These scouts kept watching Yin Lei and the others leave with respect in their eyes, and they were relieved until the shadows of Yin Lei and the others were no longer visible.

"Liu Tou'er, General Xuanyuan is so young, it seems that he is only in his twenties at most, how can he be so powerful? Of these 50,000 reinforcements, he killed more than 40,000 in one go, and we only lost more than 1,000 people, but I am afraid that even General Zhao and General Liu are far inferior to him. ”

Liu Tou'er was the leader of the scout, and he immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, you dare to talk about General Zhao behind your back, you don't want to live?" At least General Zhao has the wisdom to understand people, otherwise General Xuanyuan will not have a chance to play no matter how powerful he is. ”

"Liu Tou'er, when Ziyun No. 1 Brave Pig Seventeen captured Xiang Shilong in one move, he scared the generals behind him so much that none of them dared to go up to fight him, and General Xuanyuan defeated Pig Seventeen twice in front of the two armies, who didn't see it, even I will reuse him."

Tut-tut...... As far as I know, General Yan Shengxue and the others and those heavy cavalrymen now regard him as a god, and now his prestige in the hearts of these people has surpassed that of General Zhao and ....... ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you really don't want to live anymore?"

The detective shrank his head and immediately fell silent, and then the group quickly left.

Back in the camp, Yin Lei said to Yan Sheng: "General Yan, should our supplies be sent, if there is a messenger coming, don't forget to inquire about the battle situation in Anxi County." ”

"When we came out, we only brought ten days of grain and grass, if it wasn't for the five thousand light cavalry going back, these grains would have been eaten long ago, I have already sent someone back to urge food, and there should be a messenger to deliver grain and grass in the near future."

By this day, the two countries had abandoned the cumbersome way of transporting grain and grass, and all the grain and grass were carried by the monks in storage bags, and every thousand people were equipped with a monk, who of course would not participate in the battle.

As soon as the two of them said this, Zhang Xi hurriedly came in from outside and said, "Zongheng, Anxi said that he had an urgent matter to see you." ”

Yan Shengxue smiled when he heard this: "What a coincidence, we just talked about the messenger, and the messenger arrived." ”

Before Yin Lei could speak, Zhang Xi had already said: "I think they are not messengers, they should be scouts." ”

Yan Shengxue said, "Not a messenger? What did the general do when he sent a scout? ”

Yin Lei smiled: "Let them come in and ask, Brother Xizi let them in." ”

Zhang Xi immediately turned around and went out, there was not much time, he came in with a middle-aged man with a pale face and about forty, Yin Lei couldn't help but say when he saw this person: "It's Brother Yan, how do you have time to come to me?" ”

It turned out that this person turned out to be Yan Tingfeng of Yin Lei and Che Wuguan who supported the east and west teams of the camp back then, and the last time the Ziyun army withdrew from the west to raid Huijiang, he was punished and was removed from the thousand general and reduced to the hundred general.

After listening to Yin Lei's words, Yan Tingfeng hurriedly said: "Brother Xuanyuan, you don't have to be polite, when we were inspecting today, we encountered a Purple Cloud Light Cavalry of about 5,000 or so that was quickly rushing towards you, and we didn't have time to ask General Zhao to inform you directly." ”

Yin Lei's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Brother Yan, does you know who led this detachment and why it went south?" ”

Yan Tingfeng said: "It's too late to inquire about these, this cavalry is extremely fast, although I came quickly by taking a small road, at most it will be half an hour faster than them, if your patrol sees these people, they will also arrive, you don't even have a chance to respond." ”

Thinking that the reinforcements from Ziyun on the opposite side had also arrived before, Yin Lei felt a taste of conspiracy.

"General Yan and Brother Qing immediately recruited men to prepare for battle."

The two of them knew that the time was urgent, and hurriedly responded and flew out, and then Yin Lei said: "Brother Yan, thank you for the news, and I will thank you when this battle is over." ”

"Brother Xuanyuan is polite, I still have to rush back to Anxi County to inspect, this time I am considered to have left my post without permission, if General Zhao is to blame, I still hope to ......."

"Brother Yan, rest assured, General Zhao blames Xuanyuan, if we can win this battle, Brother Yan should be the first credit."

"Brother Xuanyuan is polite, I know you are still busy, I won't bother, Yan will retire."

"Brother Xizi will give Brother Yan five hundred taels of silver, Brother Yan, I won't thank the brothers who came with you one by one, please go back and ......."

"Brother Xuanyuan can't help it, this is our business, thank Yan so much, I dare not take it seriously."

"Brother Yan, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, this is a little bit of Xuanyuan's heart, please be sure to accept it."

Yan Tingfeng was a little polite and took the money and left excitedly, regardless of whether General Zhao was to blame after going back, he got this benefit first.

By the time Yin Lei and Zhang Xi got out of the camp, Wang Qing and Yan Shengxue had already gathered the team.

At this moment, a spy reported that the Ziyun army in the camp in front of him had moved, and Yin Lei immediately understood that it was no accident that this light horse from An Xilai in the north came.

Looking at the neatly draped generals in front of him, Yin Lei's heart moved and said to Wang Qing: "Brother Qing, you take the two hundred flower team to stay to help General Yan, he may not be General Yuan's opponent, and they have newly arrived with nine thousand reinforcements, I don't know what powerful people are among these people, our heavy cavalry is only a first-class soldier, and there are too few masters in it, I don't worry." ”

Wang Qing couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this: "Our opponent is five thousand light cavalry, although Yan Tingfeng didn't say who led the team, but dare to come and sneak attack our eighth layer or that pig seventeen, with him pestering you, the difference in the number of enemies and us is big, we may not take much advantage of this battle." ”

Yin Lei thought for a while and said, "How many masters do we have pretending to be miscellaneous servants?" ”

"We have lost more than 200 people in these battles, and I have already selected 200 of these people to be placed in the army, and now they still have more than 270 people."

"You immediately recruit them all to fight, and we can't afford to stay behind this time."

Wang Qing heard this and hurriedly turned around and left, Yin Lei quickly came to the light cavalry and heavy armored iron cavalry team, and then he flew up to the point platform more than two zhang high with a light tiptoe.

"Brave soldiers, the battle we have been waiting for is coming again, the enemy has been fighting in two ways, in order to avoid being flanked by the enemy, I am ready to personally lead the light cavalry team to meet one of the enemy forces, and the defeated army on our opposite side will be handed over to your heavy cavalry team, tell me...... Will you be able to continue your impressive run? ”

A simple remark immediately aroused the passion of all the soldiers, of course, this is mainly due to Yin Lei's status in the hearts of these soldiers, after the previous almost perfect battle, Yin Lei not only has a great position in the hearts of the Xuanwu and Qinglong clans, but those heavy cavalry almost regard him as a god of war.

The more veterans they are, the more they understand how difficult it is to win a victory, annihilating more than 40,000 enemies at the cost of 1,000 casualties, and this kind of victory is rare in a century.

Yin Lei's voice was not loud, but the six or seven thousand soldiers present could all hear it clearly, and as soon as Yin Lei's voice fell, all the soldiers immediately let out a cry like a landslide and a sea crack.

When Yin Lei saw it, he immediately said in a loud voice: "All the light cavalry come with me......." ”

Saying that, Yin Lei flew on his horse and went north, someone had already opened the north gate, and the two thousand light cavalry immediately went out of the north gate, just as they passed by the north gate, more than 200 light cavalry guarding outside the north gate joined the team, but Wang Qing left with two hundred flower teams.

Yin Lei had just left the camp with the team for only two or three miles, and the three war horses ran back quickly, and immediately the three sweaty and frightened people couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that it was Yin Lei, and they hurriedly greeted him.

"General Xuanyuan is not good, we have found a large number of Ziyun light cavalry twenty miles away, they are rushing towards us, General Xuanyuan, is it ...... you bring so many people."

"Yes, we've gotten the news, how far are they from us now?"

"We ran back as soon as we found them, and they were no more than ten miles away from us now."

Yin Lei couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he heard this, this light cavalry was too fast, if it wasn't for Yan Tingfeng to report in advance, and wait for himself to get the news and then gather people, I was afraid that he would have been surrounded by others.

General Yuan and the others still have more than 10,000 people, plus 9,000 reinforcements from the south and this 5,000 light cavalry led by Zhu 17, I am afraid that they will immediately fall into passivity.

"You have done a good job, this time I will give you a credit, now you can go back to the camp and rest."

The three of them couldn't help but perk up when they heard this: "General Xuanyuan, let us also go with you to kill the enemy." ”

Yin Lei shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, you are patrolmen, it is enough to find out the good news, as for the war...... Leave it to us. ”

The three of them left with regret on their faces, and when they saw the three of them walking away, Yin Lei said to Zhang Xi: "Brother Xizi, the eighth-layer of the five thousand light cavalry of Zhu Seventeen is an elite soldier or a sub-elite soldier, and they will definitely use flying spears to suppress us before they do it with us."

In order to avoid this kind of unnecessary casualties, I immediately took people to the front to set up an ambush, you take people here for a while, and we will leave when I come back. ”

Yin Lei said in a loud voice: "Shan Jianxiong, your three hundred flowers team will come with me ......." ”

Shan Jianxiong in the back immediately followed Yin Lei closely with the three hundred flower team, and after being two miles away, Yin Lei reached out and took out a storage bag and waved it back, and three hundred bowl-thick and pointed logs were thrown out by Yin Lei and piled up in front of him.

Then Yin Lei said in a loud voice: "They will definitely charge in a cone-shaped formation for a while, our trap pit should be arranged in an inverted cone shape, everyone spread out their wings and advanced into an inverted cone shape, and each person will start piling at a foot apart."

This time, the depth of the trap is still one foot, starting from the direction they came from, five pits in the first zhang, ten in the second zhang, and then increasing at this rate, and twenty-five in the fifth, you should be careful when you start, it is best to camouflage a little so that people don't see it at a glance. ”

Listening to Yin Lei's words, these three hundred people flew off their horses and dismounted, each picked up a wooden stake and quickly spread out to both sides, almost all of the members of the three hundred flower team had the cultivation of the eighth or ninth layer of the gangqi, and the seventy-five one-foot-deep horse pits were very easy for them.

In more than twenty breaths, everyone had completed the task, and if it weren't for the need for disguise, they would have doubled their speed.

By this time, the faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and it seemed that the enemy had reached five or six miles away.

Yin Lei hurriedly said: "Everyone put down the tools in their hands and return to the team quickly, and ...... quickly." ”

The three hundred people immediately threw down the log, turned the horse's head and turned around and ran, Yin Lei hurriedly collected the tools and then caught up.

After Yin Lei and these three hundred people returned to their own team, the smoke and dust rose from behind, and the five thousand light cavalry were already visible to the naked eye.

With a chuckle, Yin Lei said: "Everyone follow me, remember to listen to my orders clearly, don't mess up." ”
