Chapter 31: The Smoke of Gunpowder

It wasn't until Zhou Feiyan also collected his troops and returned to the camp that Chen Jun sent some soldiers into the battlefield to clean up the wreckage of his comrades.

At this time, the Zhou army will not attack these people, this is the conventional rule.

The weapons and horses that could be used had been collected by the Zhou army, and the Chen army had to pick up the stumps and broken bodies of the war dead on his side.

At this time, the bloodshed and cruelty of the war were so naked and shocking. The Chen army was almost untouched, and even some of the corpses could no longer be called corpses, and they became meat paste.

The number of dead and wounded was no less than two thousand. In less than two hours, in this small place within a radius of several miles, the number of people who died at one time exceeded twice the total population of Gaojiabao. Chen Jun pulled back one carriage after another, and the corpses were piled up. The corpse collector's face was gloomy and almost numb.

No matter how much you have to clean up, as a general who loves soldiers like a son, if conditions permit, he will try not to let his subordinates throw corpses into the wilderness. It is impossible to bring their bones back to their homeland, but they can gather for cremation, bring back a little ashes, make a grave, and enjoy the incense of their descendants.

Of course, this is to do a little bit for the deceased when conditions permit. In fact, there are more people who are allowed to leave the corpses of the war dead in the wilderness, because there are never many opportunities to collect the corpses in the big war. Moreover, there are not many generals like Zhou Feiyan and Wu Mingfu who care about the remains of their soldiers. Needless to say, the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the troops led by such generals are very limited. Famous generals cannot be achieved by strategizing alone, and elite troops cannot be created by rigorous training alone.

A close-up view of the battle, Gao Yuanfeng can be said to have gained a lot.

The Zhou army did not interfere with Chen's actions, but only sent a small number of soldiers to monitor Chen's movements from afar. In the camp, Zhou Feiyan was also cremating the remains of the dead. The excitement of the big win is gone. Everyone looked solemn, remembering the brothers and sisters who were talking and laughing an hour or two ago.

Zhou Feiyan led the crowd to mourn together, and then ordered someone to register and make a book, the reward of the reward, and the bereavement of the bereavement. Aftercare procedures, methodical.

A big win is a big win. After the memorial service, the atmosphere of the whole camp slowly turned to festivity. Remembering merit and rewarding it is today's theme.

Zhou Feiyan convened the core level to continue to discuss and plan Gao Yuanfeng's plan. This time, Gao Yuanfeng was also able to attend.

"The defeat of the Chen army will inevitably lead to stricter precautions. I seriously doubt that tonight's night raid will work. Zhou Hui was naturally disgusted by Gao Yuanfeng. A lowly villager, just because he had two grandfathers in the Chengdan period, actually sat at the same table with him in a grand manner to discuss military aircraft. What's even more annoying is that this untouchable is obscene and filthy, and he has not yet had the consciousness of being a subordinate, and he does not have the slightest awe in front of these generals with noble status and great military achievements.

Zhou Hui didn't bother to talk to Gao Yuanfeng at all, and looked at Zhou Feiyan with a gloomy face. thought to herself, the reason why Zhou Feiyan adopted Gao Yuanfeng's suggestion was probably because she was confused by Gao Yuanfeng's skin and sweet words. Hehe, a woman is a woman after all, thinking about spring, whether you are high or low.

Except for Zhou Hui, the other generals do not have his natural arrogance because of his royal status, let alone jealousy because of Gao Yuanfeng's appearance, and he is objective and matter-of-fact. Niu Di said: "I think there is a lot to be done, if Gao Yuanfeng can really conjure three or four thousand people." ”

Niu Di is a square-faced and bearded man with a straightforward personality. He still prefers Gao Yuanfeng, contrary to Zhou Hui's idea, it is rare for a child born in a township to be able to talk eloquently in front of a murderous general. What's even more rare is that the first time I went to the battlefield, although I didn't participate in the war, I was able to be able to keep my heart in a panic and not be short of breath, and my legs were not weak, which is really commendable.

I think back then, I was not as stable and natural as this kid, and for the first time I saw the cruelty of the knife and the tragic scene of wreckage everywhere, I vomited a mess, and the shadow in my heart was difficult to eliminate for months.

Zhou Feiyan looked at Gao Yuanfeng with a smile, "What do you say?"

Gao Yuanfeng was calm, "Sister, you said that there is no joke in the army. I have made a military order, but I don't want to think if I can't do it? General Ning Yuan said that Chen's army would be more rigorously guarded, but I dare not agree. There are three reasons for this:

First, it stands to reason that the best time for a night attack was last night, when both sides had just arrived and had not yet gained a firm foothold. Today, both sides have a sufficient understanding of the battlefield situation, and therefore have sufficient preparatory measures, and it is difficult for the surprise attack to be effective. As a result, the precautions will not be so strict.

Second, in today's battle, my sister did not carry the momentum of a big victory and strengthened the enemy camp, which gave people the feeling that she lacked stamina. I think Wu Mingfu's judgment should be that my sister will wait for her infantry brigade to arrive before she will fight against one of them in the final victory.

Third, under the new defeat, it is inevitable that the Chen army will strictly defend it. The direction of defense must be to fight in large groups, and not enough attention is paid to small-scale infiltration.

Therefore, I think that no matter how cautious Wu Mingfu is tonight, there will only be one outcome. ”

"What do you think?" Zhou Hui said coldly: "You don't have a young cub with hair for a long time, what qualifications do you have to participate in military affairs." ”

Gao Yuanfeng squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Sister, you are only two years older than me." Has the hair grown together?"

The look of the generals is wonderful, good boy, can this joke be made casually?

Zhou Feiyan's face turned red, and she kicked Gao Yuanfeng away in shame, "Go back and prepare." If you can't complete your scheduled plan tonight, see how I clean you up. ”

Gao Yuanfeng got up in embarrassment, and bargained with a hippie face, "What about the completion or even excess?"

Zhou Feiyan said with a straight face: "What I promised you, I will honor it immediately after the war." ”

All the generals were curious, what Zhou Feiyan promised. It won't be ······ Everyone's mind is thinking crookedly.

"Good Ratcha. Gao Yuanfeng patted the dust on his body and jumped out. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, "By the way, give me a list of the generals at all levels of the Chen Army, preferably including their skill levels and the divisions they serve." ”

This thing is simple, and the list of generals at all levels of the Chen Army is not much of a secret. As an opponent, Zhou Feiyan has already found out these clearly.

Zhou Feiyan instructed Lele to find one for Gao Yuanfeng, and then asked Zuo Feng to send Gao Yuanfeng back.

Looking at the back of Gao Yuanfeng, Zhou Hui protested solemnly, "General, what are you kidding if you hope that such a wild boy with a roe deer brain and a ghost monkey?"

Zhou Feiyan said categorically: "I'm not kidding. The king's secret decree has been read by all. The military situation is like fire, and it has to fight. A two-day delay in waiting for General Ning Shuo to arrive was not only unprofitable, but worse. Because I can conclude that Wu Mingfu still has reinforcements behind him.

Chen's army had obviously been planning for a long time, and our army rushed to the battle. If Wu Mingfu's troops are not defeated tonight, and then want to expel them from Jieshi Mansion, it will not be a matter of a day or two.

Do as you are told. Whoever dares to disobey the yang and the yin, don't blame the ruthless military law. ”

Zhou Feiyan is the main general, but also the county lord and the boss. Zhou Hui's 'argument based on reason' is the proper meaning, but he does not dare to make any discount when acting. The generals dispersed, and each went back to arrange for his soldiers to rest as much as possible, in preparation for the night's battle.

Gao Yuanfeng hurried back to Gaojiabao and immediately asked Gao Cheng and Gao Gang to gather everyone to the ancestral hall to listen to the order.

Yes, it's an order, not a discussion. Gao Yuanfeng didn't have time to ask for everyone's opinions, but gave a direct order in a resolute manner, "Tonight, the soldiers are divided into three routes, and more torches and drums are brought." Gao Yuanfeng pointed to the rough map on the table, "Second grandfather, you take Gao Hu's department and ambush it in this place to wait for the Zhou army to ······." Uncle Yun, you and Uncle Tie Cheng led people to ambush here ······. Uncle Wei, you and Fei Ge ······. Grandpa, you and Uncle Tie Cheng keep the house. Did you hear it clearly?

I made a military order in front of Zhou Feiyan, if anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

By the way, Brother Fei, the scarecrow I asked you to tie has not been completed. ”

Goofy said wryly, "Most of it is finished. ”

Gao Yuanfeng's face turned cold, and Sen Sen said: "If there is one missing tonight, I will cut off your head first." Meeting. ”

Goofy's face was gloomy like an ice cave, "You didn't say you were going to use it tonight." ”

Gao Yuanfeng said sharply: "When I use it is my business." I ordered you to tie it up yesterday, but you haven't finished it until today, so is there any reason? If you want to be an official, you have to act according to orders, this is the rule. ”

Goofy muttered, "You're not my boss yet, are you?" Besides, we're all going to fight tonight, what about you?"

"Goofy! Gao Cheng and Gao Gang shouted in unison, startling everyone.

Gao Gang said sternly: "Gao Fei, my Gao family army has already erected the flag, led by Feng'er." Even I have to respect him and follow his orders. If you want to participate, you have to follow the military rules. I'll give you one last chance, either quit, and from now on it has nothing to do with us as a whole, you go and walk your Yangguan Dao. Either abide by military rules and serve the wind as the mainstay. If you dare to give me yang and yin, don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people with a sharp knife in his hand. ”

Gao Cheng and Gao Gang's anger, Gao Fei couldn't bear it, he lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, his thin face turned red and white, and he turned white.

Gao Wei next to him bumped Goofy's shoulder and whispered, "Don't admit your mistake yet." ”

Goofy stared at his toe eyes, flashing a hint of hatred and hatred, and said in a hard voice, "I'll finish it on time." ”

Gao Yuanfeng's spiritual sense was very keen, and he secretly wondered, "This hates me, as for it? No, his head is biased, and it seems that he hates Uncle Wei who helped him round the field." It's weird. ”

Whatever, Gao Yuanfeng didn't have time to ponder Gao Fei's psychology, so he scattered everyone and hurried to the backyard. On the way, he took out his mask from his pocket and put it on, because the killers of the Windless Pavilion were arranged to rest in the backyard.

Coming to the killer's residence, Gao Yuanfeng got straight to the point, "This mission is to infiltrate Wu Mingfu's camp and attack and kill the generals at all levels of the Chen army. Wu Mingfu is in charge of me. Other generals, you can choose your own according to their respective skill levels and physique attributes. Gao Yuanfeng threw out the list given by Lele.

"Also," Gao Yuanfeng continued, "after this mission, I need some people to continue to lurk. At Zhou Feiyan's place, I said that I was sacrificed during the mission. Needless to say, why you should do this, it is to reserve a way out. We can't pin all our hopes on Zhou Feiyan.

Although these people have no official status for the time being, they are still one with us, and I will compensate them appropriately.

In other words, from today onwards, the Windless Pavilion will be divided into two parts: light and dark.

It's up to you to choose whether to be an official or continue to be a lurking killer.

Although we are divided into two, we are still one. The ultimate goal of our actions is our own interests. ”

"I'm definitely going to make my identity public. For a short period of time, I had to be a close confidant of Zhou Feiyan. For the sake of brotherhood, I should reveal my identity to you. With that, Gao Yuanfeng took off his mask and took out the pitch-changing whistle from his mouth.

"Uh-oh. Gao Yuanfeng's age and appearance surprised everyone. Unexpectedly, the boss with amazing skills turned out to be a personable son. The people who joined the Windless Pavilion earlier were even more shocked, on the day they inherited the favor back then, this boss was only a child, right?

There was only one exception, and that was the original Substance Chief, Humpty Dumpty, nicknamed Miasma. The Windless Pavilion was actually created by Miasma at the behest of Gao Cheng Gaogang under the banner of Gao Yuanfeng.

Born in troubled times, there are many displaced people. In the name of the high wind, the miasma casts a wide net and gives grace to everyone, and whenever there is a family that is ruined and killed, a person who has no way out, a person whose livelihood is difficult to sustain, or an orphan who has no one to support, he will give money, exercises, etc., and only do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Then pay attention to the qualifications and enterprising people, if you are grateful to Dai Desi to repay, then slowly guide and then deliberately cultivate, select perseverance, potential, loyalty of people to recruit into the Wind Pavilion.

As a killer organization, for the sake of secrecy and safety, except for Miasma, all the members of the Windless Pavilion only know each other's nicknames and skills, but do not know their names and origins.

"I can't believe it. Gao Yuanfeng smiled, "I'd better confirm it first, lest you think I'm impersonating." Suddenly, he flashed and broke into the killer bush, his hands turned over the flowers, and his body was like electricity. In less than ten breaths, seventy or eighty killers were all hit, and everyone was hit by the hemp hole and couldn't use their strength. And all their weapons were taken away by the high wind, even the crossbow tied to the sleeve and arm, the blow arrow hidden in the back collar, or the flying needle hidden in the bun.

Don't look at Gao Yuanfeng's battle with Ye Lao, he couldn't even stick to the corners of Ye Lao's clothes, but his chasing the wind and chasing the moon and the wind without a shadow hand were more than enough to take down these people, not to mention that now he has learned to glimpse the light.

It's not that these people are too rubbish, in fact, everyone has no less than the power of the Yunqi realm, and each has its own uniqueness. Otherwise, you won't be able to be selected for the Windless Pavilion at all. They may not be able to shake people head-on, but the assassination methods are unusual, which makes the rivers and lakes of Qi frightened.

However, when he encountered a high wind that surpassed them by a great realm and practiced the high-grade exercises of the human level, he was dwarfed. Gao Cheng Gao Gang has relied on his skills to dominate the army and the court of the Great Qi for many years.

Of course, if these seventy or eighty people go all out, Gao Yuanfeng may not fall for these guys' tricks.

Gao Yuanfeng's unexpected age, instead of making everyone despise, he was happy. Young is not the same as frizzy, young means excellent talent, young means great space for development, and young means that there is a stronger support behind him.

"I'll say a word. Humpty Miasma said: "Boss, over the years, you have given me, and through me, you have given us bitter brothers money, elixir, martial arts, and exercises, and encouraged us to improve ourselves, trained our ability to survive, and gave us the confidence to live and the dignity of being a human being." We all take it to heart. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. So we trust you and are willing to do things for you unconditionally.

But I want to ask, what exactly do you want us to do, or what do you want to do? You know I'm not talking about killing, I'm talking about the goal. ”

This killer organization is relatively loose, unlike the Great Wind Thief, Dingfeng Dart Bureau or Changfeng Trading Company, the partners in the organization have worked together for a long time, are familiar with each other, have feelings, and have trust. Killers live on the dark side, and in order to reveal their identities to each other without any scruples, they do need a convincing reason.

But can Gao Yuanfeng's true goal be open to them?
