Lin Zhanjie didn't bother much about Li Xiguang's familiarity, his attention was on the more than 1,000 people in Li Xiguang's hands and the familiar terrain in the mountains.

As the supreme commander of the imperial army, the most sensitive thing is, of course, where there is banditry or something. Now that he heard that Li Xiguang not only had someone in his hands, but was also familiar with the terrain in the mountains, he had doubts in his heart. Could it be that the bandits in the mountains want to take this opportunity to clear their name? However, he had been here for some days, and he had not heard from the people in the vicinity that there was a banditry.

So, he looked directly into Li Xiguang's eyes and asked bluntly: "Why do you want to join the army?" ”

Li Xiguang told him the reason he said to Ren Xiaohang: "Report to the governor, his subordinates left home for three years to avoid the enemy, and later heard that the enemy had already passed away, so he thought about coming back." However, in the past three years, his subordinates have collected many homeless orphans, and they have also taught them some of the skills of the subordinate association. It happened that General Ren was recruiting new soldiers, and his subordinates also wanted to earn a future for the children, and also let the people who followed his subordinates have a way out, so they came to join the army. ”

"Where did you stay before? Why are you familiar with the topography of Dalingzi Mountain? Lin Zhanjie continued to ask.

Although the subordinates avoided the enemy, they did not dare to stay away, because the children in the family were too young, and the subordinates were not at ease. Therefore, the subordinates set up camp in the Daling Mountain, so they don't know the terrain in the mountains well, but they are also very clear where there is a ditch and a ditch. Li Xiguang didn't hide that he was familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and he also wanted to take advantage of this advantage to let Marshal Lin hand over the task of ambushing on the cliff to himself.

Lin Zhanjie thought about it for a while, glanced at Ren Changqing, who was deep in thought, and asked with a smile: "General Ren, what do you think?" ”

Ren Changqing woke up from his contemplation, and his deep eyes glanced at Li Xiguang carefully. said, "I think it's doable. ”

Lin Zhanjie looked at Ren Xiaohang and Li Xiguang, who were waiting for his statement, and said decisively: "Okay! Now, the Governor of Bendu has officially appointed Li Xiguang as the commander of the second route, and the Governor of Bendu will deploy 10,000 elite soldiers to you, and then you will lead these 10,000 elite soldiers to the cliff in the north of the city secretly. Your 1,000 men are allowed to join the Second Route Army, they are familiar with the terrain and want to work well with the others. Your mission is: Cut off the Liao army's provisions. After the siege began, if the Liao army fled north, block his retreat. Don't let a single Liao army escape, remember? “

"Subordinates obey! The subordinates will never let a single Liao army escape back! Li Xiguang solemnly gave a military salute and said loudly.

Lin Zhanjie looked at Ren Xiaohang again and ordered: "General Ren, give Li Xiguang and them the new weapon in your hand called a grenade." Teach them how to use it to minimize casualties among the soldiers. ”

"The last general obeys!" Ren Xiaohang also replied solemnly.

"Alright. Go and prepare. “

"Yes!"

Looking at Ren Xiaohang and Li Xiguang, who walked out of the big tent, Lin Zhanjie felt a little relieved.

This time, he came with an army of 150,000, and there were indeed a few adjutant generals, guerrilla generals, battalion commanders, and cavalry captains who could fight well, but they came from afar. I am not familiar with the topography of Hakuyama Castle. If you get lost in the mountains, delaying the fighter will be in vain. That's why he used the dark horse of Li Xiguang.

Originally, in the big battle, except for the governor. There should be another vice-governor. However, the emperor only appointed Ren Xiaohang as the general of the conquest. Without appointing the governor of Fudu, he had to figure out the battle plan by himself. Fortunately, Ren Changqing is here, you can discuss it with him, after all, he has so many years of combat experience and is familiar with the surrounding environment here.

After a while, the news spread among the army that a man who had just joined the army as the commander of the Second Route, which immediately caused an uproar in the army. The lieutenants who followed Lin Zhanjie found Lin Zhanjie and asked Ying to go to the Second Route Army. Just kidding, promotion in the army mainly depends on the war, and if you can win the next battle, you will be promoted faster than you usually have for many years. With such an opportunity to be promoted, they are still secretly wondering who Lin Dudu will give it to, but they didn't expect an outsider to snatch it, how can this work?

Lin Zhanjie saw that his lieutenants were not convinced, so he euphemistically said that Li Xiguang was familiar with the terrain and had good martial arts, and asked them to focus on the overall situation. Unexpectedly, they found an excuse that they were not familiar with the terrain and could let the guide lead the way. Fighting a war mainly depends on real skills, and since Li Xiguang's martial arts are strong, then compare with each other. It's a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk, and even if they have real skills, they have to be convinced.

Lin Zhanjie also wanted to see what Li Xiguang was capable of, even Ren Xiaohang, he had heard a lot, and rarely saw the depth of his martial arts. So, he looked at Ren Changqing and said with a smile: "General Ren, do you think it's better to let General Ren and Li Xiguang learn from everyone, let everyone communicate, learn from each other, and learn from each other's strengths, right?" ”

Ren Changqing smiled and said, "Okay, I agree." Through guò exchanges, everyone understands each other, which is also beneficial to the next battle. ”

So, Lin Zhanjie conveyed the order. After a while, a relatively wide area was found in the middle of the tent, and a competition platform with a height of three meters, a width and a length of 50 meters was erected. The news also spread quickly among the soldiers, and many soldiers immediately gathered around the open area.

Ren Xiaohang and Li Xiguang walked over side by side, both of them looked at each other helplessly, but they did not reject the martial arts. Because the strong are respected in the army, if you don't have two hits, how can the soldiers obey you from the heart?

In addition to the soldiers brought by Lin Zhanjie, there were also the 20,000 people led by Zhang Lianxi, Ren Changqing's subordinate, the recruits recruited by Ren Xiaohang, and more than 1,000 people brought by Li Xiguang. Although the 200,000 troops cannot all gather here, there are quite a few people, at least several thousand.

Except for Li Xiguang's 1,000 people who knew how powerful their master's martial arts were, the rest of the people, including Ren Changqing's subordinates, had never seen Ren Xiaohang show his martial arts. Therefore, now there is jubilation inside and outside the field, and everyone is looking forward to Ren Changqing and Li Xiguang showing their hands on the court to open everyone's eyes.

At this time, Lin Zhanjie and Ren Changqing, escorted by several guards, also came over and sat on the chairs that had been prepared under the competition stage. The two looked at the excited and excited appearance of the soldiers present, and they were also full of anticipation for the competition below.

Although Ren Changqing knew that his nephew studied under Jiang Longxu and had good martial arts, he rarely met him once because he was stationed at the border all the year round, and he didn't know how his martial arts were now. Suddenly, there was a commotion on the periphery of the crowd, and the soldiers in the northeast corner spontaneously retreated to both sides, leaving a passageway. Immediately after that, several soldiers escorted three generals in dark gray uniforms along the passage, with a triumphant smile on their faces.

The three of them walked up to Lin Zhanjie and Ren Changqing, gave a standard military salute, and said in unison: "Zhang Tianhu (Li Yuanqing, Cao Daniu) has seen Lin Dudu and General Ren. ”

Ren Xiaohang and Li Xiguang also came over from the front row, and gave Lin Zhanjie and Ren Changqing military salutes in turn: "Ren Xiaohang (Li Xiguang) asks Lin Du to instruct." ”

Lin Zhanjie and Ren Changqing stood up together, looking at the five of them, their faces were solemn and solemn.

Lin Zhanjie turned to look at the soldiers present, looked at the five of them again, strode up to the competition platform, looked at the soldiers below and said: "Soldiers, now that the land and town of our Daye Dynasty have been occupied by the Liao army, we will have a bloody battle in the near future." Today, we are here to learn martial arts, and I hope you can learn one and a half moves from it, so that you can leave your life on the battlefield. As a soldier, although I am ready to sacrifice myself, I prefer to have the opportunity to spare my life and kill more enemies. Today's martial arts competition is over, I hope you learn more from each other's strengths, improve yourself, if the function of today's martial arts competition has been improved, then today's martial arts competition is not held in vain. Okay, which of you comes first, you decide. “

After Lin Zhanjie finished speaking, he strode off the competition platform. (To be continued.) )
