Storms, lightning and thunder, thick electric currents repeatedly broke through the clouds like a nightmare, illuminating the world flickering and darkening, and the thunder rolled by, drowning out all sounds, and the heavens and the earth were as chaotic as a fog, and it was impossible to see anything two feet away. Lin Feng personally led 6,000 iron horsemen and galloped towards the front line of Xinzhou.

This war has entered the most critical moment, the life and death of the Lin Han Empire and the Zungar Khanate, perhaps just a few hours tonight and tomorrow day, the current Xinzhou has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, the whole of China, whether it is Wu Sangui in the south, Zheng Jing on the island or Bulyagma in Hulunbuir, all focus their eyes here, in this era, the Han army and the Junggar army are the two most powerful armies in Asia, this war, determines the historical trend of China, It also determines the future of the whole world.

At this point in the war, there is no room for maneuvering, and all that remains on both sides is a contest of will and courage, like two scarred giants, to see who bleeds out first, to see who can't support first, and finally crawls at the feet of the victor.

According to Lin Feng's strategic deployment, Zhao Guangyuan's first cavalry army is the right wing of the Han army, which is placed in the northwest defense line of Xinzhou to protect the Han army's Xin ration road, and at the same time respond to the central main force, Zhao Liangdong of the Fifth Infantry Army and the Rick Department of the First Guards Infantry Army as the main force of the Chinese army, set up a strong fortification fortress outside the city of Xinzhou, step by step, encroaching on the living space of the Mongolian army, and Ma Ying's cavalry Sixth Army is the left wing of the Han army, arranged between Xinzhou and Dingxiang, Maintain the waterways of the Hutuo River and the Muma River, and at the same time be on alert in the direction of Xinzhou.

Now with the Mongolian cowardly Xue army rushing to Dingxiang, this decisive battle has been fully opened, the left wing of the Han army cavalry six army Ma Ying Division has all been put into battle, chasing and annihilating the lone army that Zhun Geer left Xinzhou, and the front line of the Chinese army, Geerdan took advantage of the gap in the main force of the left flank to adjust the defense, concentrated his forces to storm the fortifications of the Han army's fortress, tens of thousands of Mongolian troops together with a small number of traitor troops attached to Mongolia, rushed out of the city of Xinzhou like locusts, and then the heavy rain poured Tuo, the opportunity of the Han army's firearms was greatly reduced, and they rushed to the front to fight hand-to-hand with the Han army.

At this moment, Lin Feng was prostrating himself on the horsehair of the "dark clouds covering snow", trying his best to warm himself up with the warm war horse, and now he was already drenched through, and the cold iron armor was clinging to the thin underwear, making him chill for a while. After listening to the battle report this time, he immediately brought out all the main forces of the Boming battalion, except for the two brigades that were taken by Wang Zhongxiao to reinforce Ma Ying, the remaining three brigades plus his own personal guard troops, the strength was as high as 8,000, and all of them were elite main forces, well-equipped and well-trained, and all of them were Lin Feng's loyal and cronies.

In the midst of the rapid gallop, the rain slashed on Lin Feng's face like a sharp sword, making his face ache for a while, the wind became stronger and stronger, pouring down along the collar, making people cold all over, he lay on the horse's back, glanced to the side, and saw Wang Shirong, a weak scholar, who didn't know what to do, actually followed, at this moment he was covered in rain, his hair was scattered, his face was pale, although he was in the bumpy, he could still see his thin body constantly shivering. Seeing this, Lin Feng stretched out towards him, pulling his throat and shouting, "Ji Yun...... You're not in good health...... Get back!! ......" he commanded, waving his whip behind him and making a resolute gesture, "...... Get back!! ……”

In the vast heavy rain, I saw Wang Shirong shaking his head desperately, his expression was resolute, and his mouth was wide open, as if he was shouting something, but at this moment, Lin Feng was whistling in his ears, but he couldn't even hear a word clearly.

In such a battlefield, what role can he play as a scholar?! Lin Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, slammed the reins of his horse, stretched out his hand to stop, turned his head to Wang Shirong and said, "Ji Yun...... You go back and rest, you can't use it here?! ……”

“…… The ministers are incompetent, the plan is inadequate, until the Tartar conspiracy succeeds, and the lord suffers! ......" Wang Shirong gasped and reluctantly bowed his hand on the horse, "At this time, before the lord fights, can the ministers sit and rest in peace?!" ”

Fuck, when, and Rory instigated this set?! Lin Feng couldn't smile bitterly, and said in his heart, you have no power to restrain the chicken, aren't you looking for a burden for me here?! But he said, "Ji Yun misunderstood, I asked you to go back to the camp to stay, organize the people, and send Ding Zhuang to the front line at any time, and transport baggage!" ”

"Please rest assured," Wang Shirong showed a resolute look on his face, "When the lowly post was about to set off, he had already explained to Lord Heming, and the rear supply baggage was taken care of by Lord Mu Tianyan and his colleagues in the General Staff, and the lowly duty was determined to meet the Tartar on the battlefield!" - Please allow the Lord!! ”

Forget it, Lin Feng waved his hand, put his feet on the saddle, straightened his body as much as possible, looked left and right, and asked loudly, "Where is this?!" How far is the front line?! ”

"Lord!!" A black-faced man grabbed the belly of the horse, and rode forward, "It seems to be called 'Sheephorn Valley' here, about thirteen or four miles away from the front line of Xinzhou, it is a supply depot for our army, No, you see......" He pointed ahead, "There is also a fort on the hill in front, which belongs to the Rick Army Gate Artillery Brigade, and there is a military camp at the bottom of the mountain, where there are five hundred sergeants and three thousand militiamen and people!" ”

"Fourteen miles, that is, six or seven kilometers away!" Lin Feng muttered, looking in the direction he pointed out, although his vision was blurred in the heavy rain, he could also vaguely see a small fort and a small barracks and a lookout arrow tower, he raised his horsewhip and pointed to the barracks and ordered, "The whole army is special, enter the Yangjiaoyu military camp, repair for half an hour, roast the fire, drink water, and eat dry food!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a team of cavalry immediately rode out and rushed out in front of Lin Feng to inform the friendly army, Lin Feng clamped the horse's belly, looked behind him, and saw that the guard officer who was talking to him just now was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said suspiciously, "Are you ...... You're the ......."

"Simon is stupid!!" The black-faced officer opened his mouth, and sure enough, he smiled silly, and said with a big grin, "Hey! - I said my lord, you are really a little confused, I am Simon killing pigs!! ”

Lin Feng looked at him dumbfounded, he was really a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, I don't remember that you are a little captain and you are not confused, right?! Seeing that he looked like he took it for granted "you know me", he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to smile bitterly, "cough...... Cough...... Oh, it's you!! "I remember carefully in my heart, where did I see him?!

"See?!" Simon killed the pig triumphantly, and boasted to his comrades behind him, "The lord really recognizes me, right?" Back then, in Liaoyang, the shogunate said that Lao Tzu had 'what kind of courage he had', and the lord personally promoted me! ”

Hearing what he said, Lin Feng also remembered this, but he didn't expect that after a few years, this muddy man was still so stupid and didn't make any progress. While the two were talking, the troops had already opened to the gate of the barracks, and the soldiers left behind had already opened the gate and knelt down in the heavy rain, Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Why are you kneeling in such heavy rain?" Everyone let me in, and immediately make a fire and boil water!! ”

Such an important stronghold, the supreme person in charge at this moment is actually only a second lieutenant, Lin Feng just stepped into the gate and said to the second lieutenant, "Aren't you stationed here with five hundred people?" And now what about people?! ”

"Return to the King of Han! After dusk today, the Tartars attacked in a big way, and the battalion was ordered by General Yulin to go to the front line with 2,000 militiamen and 1,000 people, "The second lieutenant was about sixteen or seven years old, very young, and said respectfully, "When I set off, the battalion commander ordered me to lead my platoon to stay in the barracks!" ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng sat down in the middle, pulled down his helmet casually, and brushed his wet hair, "You learned from Ma Zhuang Martial Arts, right?!" It really doesn't look like a warfighter! ”

"The battalion commander said the same thing...... "This second lieutenant has fair skin, a delicate face, and is a very handsome young man, hearing Lin Feng's words, he smiled bitterly, "King Huihan, the humble position was originally a Xiucai from Zhili Hejian Mansion, and he only learned from Mazhuang Martial Arts this year!" ”

Lin Feng knew in his heart, in recent years, Lin Feng has been working hard to rectify the army, all the time changing blood and reforming, the current Han army troops, full of many such unintentional intellectuals, to now, this group of people occupy a large share in the army, and most of them are young people. Traditionally, since the Tang Dynasty, most of China's military system has implemented a policy of foolish soldiers, and this move of the Han army is indeed very rare in China's history in the past few hundred years.

"What's your name?!" Lin Feng smiled at him.

"Returning to the King of Han, the humble year of Qianyao, the words are bright," Seeing Lin Feng's kind face and easy-going tone, this second lieutenant was extremely clever, and his heart was ecstatic, and he knelt on the ground at the moment, and introduced himself, "My father is very old, and he is now serving in Cao of the Han Ministry of Industry!" ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, his hand loosened, and his helmet fell to the ground with a thud, he looked at the young lieutenant in a daze, and said in disbelief, "Your name is ...... Nian Qianyao?!! ……”

"Yes!!" Hearing Lin Feng's strange voice, Nian Qianyao couldn't help but look up in amazement, "The name of the humble position is Nian Qianyao!" ”

"Oh!! …… Hehe...... Ha ha!!! It's nothing...... It's really nothing...... Hey! Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, patted Nian Qianyao's shoulder and said, "I know your father Nian Yaoling, I heard that he and his colleagues often boast that he has a son named Nian Qianyao, who is smart and understanding, and will definitely have a great future in the future, but I didn't expect it to be you kid!" …… Haha......"

"......" Nian Qianyao's face was red, but his heart was very weird, as far as he knew, his father was introverted and didn't like to talk on weekdays, so although he had been an official for many years, he rarely had a few close friends, and he never thought that he would go out and brag about his son everywhere.

"Okay, I said Lianggong, I'm going to transfer you to me, would you like to?!" Lin Feng saw that he was groaning, and hurriedly changed the topic at the moment.

"Thank you for cultivating, but ......" Nian Qianyao was overjoyed at first, and then said Ai Ai, "But I want to go to the command of General Ma to do it!" ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng was surprised, "Why?!" ”

"Please forgive the lord for his presumptuousness," Nian Qianyao kowtowed, "It's not that the minister dislikes the guards, the first army of the guards is the main force of the firearms army, and the firearms are indeed huge, but the minister thinks that as far as today's situation is concerned, the cavalry is still the absolute main force of my Han Dynasty within hundreds of years, and the general is the courage of the army, and the cavalry is the minions of the army. ”

This is not bad, as far as Lin Feng knows, the cavalry did not officially withdraw from the stage of history until the First World War, although firearms technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, it is still the main backbone of the armies of various countries, Nian Qianyao's choice is actually not wrong, "Yes, very ambitious, I will call Mu Tianyan to report to Ma Ying when I go back," he nodded, and the topic changed, "Where is your General Rick now, do you know?!" ”

"I don't know! ……”

Lin Feng was stunned, and then slapped his forehead, this is really wrong, Nian Qianyao is a second lieutenant, and he stays in the rear, how can he know the whereabouts of the generals in the army?!

Just thinking of this, he saw Nian Qianyao smile slightly, "...... But now it is definitely not in the military headquarters, the lord sent someone to the southeast to see where General Yulin is most likely to command the battle! ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "How can you see it?!" ”

"My lord, as far as my ministers know, after dusk today, the Tartar army will attack with all their might, and our army will meet the battle in a hurry, and the situation is not very favorable for our army," he pointed to the southeast...... "...... If the Tartar army wants to break through in one fell swoop, it should look for a gap, and if the direction of our army is empty and weak, it should be in the southeast direction, at the junction of the positions of the First Guards Army and the Fifth Infantry Army!! ”

"Oh, that makes sense!!" Lin Feng nodded and gave him an encouraging look, "Don't be restrained, keep talking!"

"General Rick is calm and wise, famous all over the world, and is the old minister of the lord, and the general of our Han army, even the little lieutenant can see this matter, and he will definitely not know it," Nian Qianyao said with a smile, "So I think that when the enemy is attacking and the whole line is tight, General Yulin will personally lead the army to supervise the battle over there!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Feng stood up and said to Li Ergou, who was standing on the side, "The whole army will set off immediately, in the southeast!" He turned his head and smiled at Nian Qianyao, "Little guy, you go with me too!" ”

At this moment, the heavy rain gradually stopped, the light breeze was lewd and rainy, the sight was much clearer, eight thousand iron horsemen rushed together, stepping on the official road mud splashed, only to hear the loud sound ahead, shouting, the sound of big wood impact, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air faintly, from north to south, I couldn't hear the direction of the source, and I didn't know how many people were there in hand-to-hand combat, fighting and fighting.

After crossing the last pass, a cavalry in front of him flew in, led by a blond and blue-eyed army, it was none other than the general of Yulin, Rick Rachel, at this time, he finally found the herald sent by Lin Feng in advance, and heard that the commander had arrived at the front line, so he came to greet him.

"How's it going?!" Before he could salute, Lin Feng asked eagerly.

"The situation is good!"

"Isn't it?!" Lin Fenghu looked at him suspiciously, "I heard that the Junggar army raided, our army was not prepared and lost a lot of positions?!" ”

"Yes, we're taking it back now!" At this moment, General Rick was still in a straight uniform and elegant, he looked up at the dark night sky, and smiled at Lin Feng, "It's amazing, God testifies, I like rain, duel in the rain, it's so romantic!! ”

“…… Damn it! Lin Feng was speechless for a moment, "Don't you know that we can't shoot when it's raining?!" ”

"Of course, my majesty - but I don't like to shoot either, you know, it's too big a gunpowder and it's bad for your health!"

Lin Feng looked at him in surprise, at this time he was very suspicious that the lieutenant general in front of him had a little fever in his head, he coughed dryly, changed the subject, and said, "Ahem...... cough, I heard that this is the junction of the First Guards Army and Zhao Liangdong's department, and the strength is a little weak?! ”

"Yes," Rick said with a retracted smile and seriousness, "so I'm standing here now!" ”

"That'...... Okay......" Lin Feng waved his hand, he decided not to talk to him about this anymore, turned his head and looked towards the other section of the battle line, "Where is Zhao Liangdong?!" ”

"He's asleep! Your Majesty!! ”

"What do you say?!! ......" Lin Feng was startled, his face changed greatly, "His grandmother ...... At this time he ...... He actually ......"

"Yes, that's it, my majesty, the Tatars raided, and then it rained again, and then our musket cannons were out of service, and some shepherds and hunters provoked a professional army, the situation seemed bad, but in reality it was not a big deal," Rick nodded casually, and casually pointed towards the defense line of the Fifth Army, "As far as I know, the Tatars rushed over at dusk, so General Zhao Liangdong ordered his headquarters to move forward, to move into the sight of the Tatars, and then he raised the battle flag, Then he sent to tell me that he was tired and needed a rest, so he fell asleep there! ”

Lin Feng looked at Rick at a loss, and then at the front line, for a while, his head was in a mess, he only felt dazed, and he didn't know what to say. He ran wildly in the rain this time, and ran to the front line in one breath, originally felt very good about himself, and also thought that this move would definitely play a very key role in the battle situation, and the majority of officers and soldiers must have been greatly boosted when they saw themselves, so they reversed the battle situation and created a miracle, but at this time he suddenly wondered if he was a little too frightened?! Isn't this a bit too boring?! "Ahem...... Cough...... I said Rick, you said we ...... now."

"Of course, it is a great honor, Your Majesty, on behalf of all the officers and men of the First Guards Army, I would like to welcome you to your arrival, your courage is truly admirable," General Rick said with an obviously perfunctory expression, gesturing to a row of barracks at the rear of the battle line, "As a sign of respect for you, we have arranged a warm camp for you!" ”

"But...... But ......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's crucial that you show up when we need you the most," Rick gracefully bowed to Lin Feng, "but the most important thing now is to dry your clothes, and then command us to defeat the Tatars in good health!" ”
