Chapter Fifty-Eight: Military Departments and Departments

The Jiuli clan is an ancient tribe, although the clan has experienced many times of encirclement and suppression by the Xuanmen, but in the northwest Arctic, after years of silence, the current tribe has gradually grown. In addition to the supreme patriarch of the chief, in Jiuli is similar to the countries of the Central Plains Continent, and is divided into multiple branches. Among them, the military department and the academy department are the most powerful.

The military department is the branch responsible for military affairs within the Jiuli tribe, mainly for combat, training, internal protection of the safety of the tribe, and external attack on the city. The military department is in charge of all the armies of Jiuli, so like other countries, the military department is led by generals of all ranks. The apprentice is subordinate to the military department, and his master is also a veteran of the military department.

The Ministry of Medicine is responsible for intelligence, infiltration, and related secret missions against the Xuanmen and Shikoku within the Jiuli Clan. The academy has mastered all kinds of Jiuli strange arts from ancient times to the present, and regularly selects talented children in all clans and teaches skills after incorporation. The oldest and most mysterious and terrifying existence in the entire Jiuli tribe, for the Xuanmen and the Central Plains Four Kingdoms, many times the Jiuli clan they think and target is actually the courtyard. Yu Ji and Zhang Jue are the core elders of the academy, while Tian Li, Yu Si, and Yu Wu are ordinary elders of the academy.

The military department and the hospital department do not have much contact on weekdays, and they will only act together when they have major tasks, and the hospital department is also an extremely mysterious branch in the Jiuli clan, so generally other branches do not want to have too much to do with it. The plan to infiltrate East Vietnam was personally given by the patriarch, and the Ministry of Medicine implemented the plan, while the Ministry of War cooperated with the Ministry of Operations.

Although the disciple had no ill will towards the people in the courtyard, he also did not have a good impression of it, and after he warned Yu Si, he asked again, "What is Elder Yuji's plan for the next step?" ”

Yu Si actually only knew that they were going to deal with the Jinfan Army, but he didn't know anything about the specific content, he decided to go to Yuji immediately and inform him that the Jinfan Army had been stationed at the North City Gate, and how to act next would be to obey Yuji's arrangement, so he immediately replied: "I will also report to the elders, if there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

Although the friends were a little suspicious that this kid was playing tricks, after all, everyone belonged to their own branches, so they didn't ask too much.

Yu Si turned around and was about to leave, when Wen Zhu had already changed into his usual clothes and walked towards the two. Yu Si saw Wen Zhu after changing into his clothes, and his whole person was several times more beautiful than before, and he was stunned again and again. The friend felt that Yu Si was a little stunned, and pushed it directly, Yu Si stumbled two steps, reacted, knowing that he was a little out of shape, he arched his hand to say goodbye to the two, Wen Zhu smiled in return, and the friend glared at him viciously. Yu Si quickly left the Le'an Mansion and rushed towards the Yuji army.

The friend's tone was much calmer than before, and he looked at the junior sister who was already slim and beautiful, and said: "Senior sister, you have grown up, and the senior brother can no longer guard you every day and interfere with you, but this time you have to listen to me, find a chance to leave here." ”

"Senior brother, you also said that I have grown up, and now there are enemy troops outside the city, as well as mysterious masters, I must stay to help you." Wen Zhu said very resolutely, and his friends also knew his junior sister's temper, so he sighed a little helplessly and said, "Then you have to promise me that you can't fight with the East Vietnamese Army at will, and you will leave as soon as there is danger." ”

"I know, I know, aren't you the best in the army, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat them." Wen Su has great confidence in his friend, but when he hears it, his friend smiles bitterly.

Wen Zhu thought of Yu Si and asked, "Senior brother, who is that person?" Do you know? ”

The friend paused for a moment and replied: "His name is Yu Si, an ordinary elder of the academy, this time he is also here to carry out the task together, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, our military department still has little to do with those people in the academy." ”

Wen Zhu listened to his friend's words and nodded, but he didn't expect that this scholar-looking person who was quite literate was actually an elder of the academy, and she didn't have a good impression of the academy, so she didn't think much about it.

Yu Si soon joined Yu Ji and the others, he told the details of the Jinfan Army, and also told Yu Ji about meeting Peng Yiwei, Yu Ji guessed that this master was from Tianjian Villa according to Yu Si's description, but judging by his body shape, it should not be Liu Yigang or Su Yining, and Yu Ji couldn't guess who it was for a while. He thought for a while, and then looked at the 20,000 puppets behind him, thinking that even if the person who came was Liu Yigang, he would definitely die in the face of these 20,000 puppets, so he settled down and decided to set off immediately to attack the camp of the Jinfan Army tonight.

Peng Yiwei returned to the Jinfan military camp tent, and he didn't talk about meeting Yu Si and Wen Zhu. When Xu Chengsheng saw the Fifth Senior Uncle coming back, he felt that his expression was different, so he took the initiative to come up and ask, "Fifth Senior Uncle, what did you find?" "Although Peng Yisheng is Xu Chengsheng's uncle, he is dedicated to practicing swords in Tianjian Villa, and rarely deals with the affairs of the villa, but this Xu Chengsheng is the first person among the younger generation of disciples, and has been faintly cultivated by Su Yining and Liu Yigang as successors, and many matters in the village have been handled by him over the years. So when he heard Xu Chengsheng ask himself, Peng Yiwei replied honestly: "I met a few Jiuli people and fought each other, but I let them go." ”

Xu Chengsheng heard Peng Yiwei say that he would let them go, and he said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "Fifth Uncle, how could you let go of Jiuli's people, this is not a hidden danger." The other six disciples heard the conversation between the two and came over one after another.

Peng Yiwei didn't pay much attention to Xu Chengsheng's tone, he said slowly: "I don't think one of them is a woman who is extremely vicious, so I didn't make another move." ”

These words are the true thoughts of Peng Yiyi's heart, he is completely intuitive to judge whether the other party is good or bad, and there is no male and female feelings, for him, it is not difficult to kill a Jiuli clansman, but the reason and purpose of killing must be sufficient, he practices kendo many times to follow his own mind, only the sword can move with his heart.

But these words were heard by the rest of the people, but they understood it in a different way, several male disciples forcibly held back and did not let themselves laugh, they didn't expect that this sloppy fifth uncle who was over forty years old was still a lover, and the key was a woman from Jiuli. The two female disciples were a little puzzled, although they didn't have much contact with the fifth uncle, they didn't believe that he would let Jiuli's people go for such a ridiculous reason.

Xu Chengsheng coughed and signaled a few people not to be presumptuous, after all, Peng Yiwei's identity was there, and the disciples knew that the senior brother was a little angry, so they quickly stood aside with a serious face and didn't make a sound. Xu Chengsheng was very helpless and said to Peng Yiwei: "Fifth uncle, these Jiuli people are already good at some camouflage methods, you rarely walk in the rivers and lakes, maybe these methods are less, next time you encounter it, you must not be soft." ”

Peng Yiwei also saw everyone's expressions just now, and now Xu Chengsheng's words, he didn't feel unhappy in his heart, but he felt that it was meaningless for him to explain again, so he said perfunctorily: "I know." ”

Lin Pinghui planned to organize the sergeants to attack the city again tomorrow morning, and he asked Peng Yiwei and Xu Chengsheng to come over to discuss. The two went with the sergeants to the main camp tent of the Jinfan Army. Lin Pinghui has always been afraid of the other party's fire attack, the fire is not only very lethal to the soldiers, but also directly affects the advance of the siege equipment, and although the city gate of Le'an is not thicker than the city gate of the town, it also takes a lot of work to break through.

Peng Yixun was silent, he was not good at these combat deployments, but Xu Chengsheng was thoughtful, he was silent for a while, and said to Lin Pinghui: "General Lin, although the threat of fire attack is very great, but the goal is to break the city, as long as the siege equipment is protected, in the process of marching, dig a shallow ditch all the way to isolate the flow of fire oil, then there must be a breakthrough." ”

Lin Pinghui heard Xu Chengsheng's suggestion and thought for a while, he didn't think about isolating the fire oil, but on the one hand, he wanted to attack the city, and on the other hand, he had to temporarily dig out the isolation zone, he was afraid that the bows and crossbows of the defenders on the city wall would attack frequently, and there would be great damage. But after thinking about it carefully, the casualties in the battle were inevitable, so it was decided that he would attack the city again tomorrow morning, and at the same time ordered his sergeants to prepare more heavy shields to protect their bodies.

The Yuji puppet army had slowly approached the camp of the Jinfan Army in the evening, and the scouts of the Jinfan Army discovered this strange and abnormal army for the first time. Lin Pinghui received the report from the scout, and his heart was shocked, although he heard rumors of the living dead before leaving, but the scout reported tens of thousands, he had never fought with the living dead, and he was faintly frightened. But since the other party had already moved closer to him, he could not retreat, and he ordered the sergeants to prepare for battle, and to fight hard for this strange army of the living dead.

As soon as the night was dark, Yu Ji came to Duan Fei's side, stretched out his hand, and a black light rushed into Duan Fei's forehead. Duan Fei made a few muffled sounds in his throat, and the whole person began to slowly walk forward, and the army of 20,000 puppets behind him also slowly followed as Duan Fei walked forward. Seeing that the puppet had set off, Yu Ji smiled slightly, but Yu Si and Yu Wu around him were shocked in place, although they experienced the battle of Xuancheng, but this time it was the first time to see the 20,000 puppet army set off in unison, the momentum was huge and the strange coercion made people shudder, I really didn't dare to imagine how terrifying the battle would be. Yu Ji looked at the stunned two people and said, "You follow behind, and if you encounter some means, go and help solve it." Yu Si and Yu Wu heard Yu Ji's order, and hurriedly opened their legs and followed.

After receiving the news that the puppet army was coming, the Jinfan army had assembled its tents, and the sergeants of all departments were waiting for it. The army of puppets slowly emerged from the darkness, and the sergeants in the front row were all surprised to see these rotten and weird, cloudy-eyed living dead, and fear flooded their hearts. Although Lin Pinghui was already prepared, he was also a little panicked when he saw this puppet for the first time, but as the main general, he knew that the morale of the army was more important than anything else at this moment, so he quickly calmed himself down, rode his horse to the front of the battle, and shouted to the sergeants with full strength and heroism: "Jinfan, break the formation and destroy the strong, and annihilate it in one fell swoop." The Jinfan Army was infected by the momentum of the main general, and the sergeants responded in unison: "Break the formation and destroy the strong, annihilate in one fell swoop, break the formation and destroy the strong, annihilate in one fell swoop!" "Peng Yiwei, Xu Chengsheng, and the other six disciples of Heavenly Sword Mountain Villa also saw this puppet for the first time. Peng Yiwei held the long sword, looking at these puppets with an expressionless face, he believed in his own way of swords, no matter what was evil, he always believed that one sword could break ten thousand laws. Xu Chengsheng was filled with fear in his heart, but he was a senior brother, he suppressed his fear, and slowly pulled out the long sword, and the four male disciples saw the senior brother draw the sword, and they couldn't care about the fear in their hearts, and some stiff ones also pulled out the long sword. The two female disciples were already at a loss, and hurriedly looked at the fifth senior uncle and senior brother, and saw that the two were still calm, so they hurriedly walked a few steps and moved closer to the two. Lin Pinghui waited for the sergeant's roar to stop, called an adjutant general, and gave a few simple orders, and the adjutant general led a team of men and horses to leave from the rear.

The puppet army suddenly stopped a hundred meters away from the Jinfan army's military formation, and the two sides confronted each other for a moment, at this time Lin Pinghui and a group of sergeants of the Jinfan Army saw clearly that these puppets were all dressed in East Vietnamese military uniforms, and they still belonged to the Jianye royal family, Lin Pinghui guessed that these tens of thousands of people were most likely the army that rushed to Lincheng, and it was not clear why they all became the living dead, and they didn't have time to think about it. Duan Fei suddenly walked to the front of the puppet army formation. Lin Pinghui saw that there was a master general coming out on the opposite side, so he roared at Duan Fei: "You are the leader of this evil of the living dead?" If you dare to invade our Dongyue, you evil spirits will never come back today. Duan Fei couldn't speak, he raised his hand extremely stiffly and pointed, and the puppet behind him suddenly rushed over. Lin Pinghui hurriedly waved his sword and commanded the crossbowmen in the Jinfan Army to prepare, and the battle was about to break out.
