Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Pioneer General He

The helpless imperial court general now had to use his last resort, and he roared: "Okay, you are a thief, you dare to hurt the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and people from the left and right will cut this old man into eight pieces for me." ”

The soldiers under the general immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the strange old man, hundreds of soldiers were enough for the merchant ship to deal with alone, but the sergeants who appeared at the same time as the strange old man next to them did not watch the excitement on the side, and drew out the Tang knives on their waists to join the ranks of the rebel officers.

"Help~! My legs~~"

"My Arm ~~ My Arm ~~"

It only took half an hour for the old man and his gang to cut down these hundreds of soldiers and cry dad and call mom. In a short period of contact, many officers and soldiers have become ghosts under the knife of the strange old man and his gang, and they can no longer shout.

The imperial court general who commanded in the back looked straight at what was happening in front of him. After finally seeing the result, he suddenly shuddered, saw the strange old man approaching him unhurriedly, and hurriedly ordered the guards: "Hurry~!" Stop that group of people and don't let them come near me~! Fast~~"

Generalissimo Li has now encamped with his army five miles away from the City of Hope, and from a distance, the towering walls of the City of Hope have become an insurmountable barrier. Generalissimo Li felt a lot in his heart, and then a middle-aged general in blue next to him pouted and said to him: "Marshal, can you start attacking the nest of the thieves now?" ”

"Oh! ~~What the? Who told you to fight? Marshal Li was calculating, and when he heard the general's shout, he reacted and said in a panic.

A young general looked at this Marshal Li, and said with a smile after bowing with his fists on the side: "Hehe, Marshal, we have been here for two days, and General He is asking you, are you going to start attacking the city now?" ”

Generalissimo Li's eyes rolled at something, and then he said in his ear: "Marshal, if you don't attack the city again, the morale of the entire army will be over." ”

Generalissimo Li thought for a while and whispered to something: "This time it was Shi Xiangye's special order, and before leaving, he repeatedly instructed me to attack the lair of the thieves in one go to prevent them from escaping again." If I don't get the effect, I'll not be able to eat and walk around. ”

The strategist rolled his eyes again, and immediately said in his ear: "Marshal, didn't that General He want to attack the city?" Let him lead 10,000 men to attack the city and explore the way. If you capture it, it will be considered powerful, if you can't capture it, don't you have no loss? ”

Generalissimo Li had long been annoyed with General He in front of him, this stubborn old decrepit, he actually wanted to let himself kill two partial generals along the way. Now he has to urge himself to attack, and the attention of the strategists just now is obviously a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Generalissimo Li coughed twice and said, "Hmm! What General He said just now is that we must attack the city immediately, otherwise the morale of the army will be over, but well, the first candidate to be the vanguard has not yet been decided. Alas~! Sighing, Marshal Li looked at the generals who were shrinking back in a circle around him and asked, "Which one is willing to go?" ”

No one answered for a long time, and Generalissimo Li suddenly asked loudly in anger: "You people who eat dry food, you dare to bully men and women on weekdays, but now you are not a pioneer, and no one dares to go up. ”

When the generals heard this, they repaid it, and they actually wanted to beat themselves with thirty sticks, which would kill them. They bowed their heads in front of Marshal Li, and recounted with snot and tears why they did not dare to engage in battle. And everyone said it very attentively, and Marshal Li also nodded when he listened.

At this time, General He next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily scolded these gutless bandits: "Why are you courtiers who eat the king's fortune and are loyal to the king like this~!" Marshal Li is just a candidate to be a pioneer, and if you don't come out, forget it, and you will delay it one by one. Shameless~~~! ”

This stinking scolding immediately aroused the anger of the people, and every general said to Marshal Li as if he had practiced in advance: "Marshal, you see, General He is indignant and preaching again, he should have wanted to fight the vanguard a long time ago. ”

"Yes, you see General He, he trains soldiers very diligently on weekdays, and he should be the best candidate."

“”~~~~

Marshal Li was now happy in his heart, and immediately asked General He with a straight face: "General He, do you really want to be the vanguard?" It's a thankless job, and this time our plan is to win, not lose, as the decree says. Suddenly, Marshal Li shook his head again: "Hey! I think it's better to forget it, General He is not young now, if there are three long and two short, I really don't know how to explain to his family. Forget it, forget it~~. ”

"Marshal~!" General He looked at Marshal Li nervously, and hurriedly said: "Marshal, please don't say that, I am not very old, and I can still fight for the emperor for a long time." Please allow me to be the vanguard and attack the thief army city~! "Poof, General He fell to the ground on one knee and begged Generalissimo Li bitterly.

"This~~!" Marshal Li pondered deeply, did not rush to express his meaning, and looked at the generals and generals around him with inquiring eyes.

The young general, who had been talking to the general just now, spoke up at this time: "Marshal, please agree to General He's request and let him take up the post of vanguard." ”

As soon as the young general spoke, all the partial generals and generals next to him also hurriedly echoed: "Yes~!" Yes~~~, Marshal, you still agreed to General He's request. ”

"This~, I still have to think about it, the position of pioneer must not be qualified by anyone, and the attack on the thief army this time was instructed by the emperor and Shi Xiang, and it must be taken in one fell swoop, and no extraneous branches can be made, so the position of pioneer is not trivial~!" Generalissimo Li seems to be thinking about it with a lot of headaches now.

General He was even more anxious to confess to Marshal Li that his current condition was very good, and hurriedly took a step forward and said to Marshal Li again: "Marshal, please believe me, I am qualified for the post of vanguard. ”

"Hmmm! Well, what should you do? Marshal Li immediately retreated the question to the partial generals and generals present.

These people suddenly knew what Generalissimo Li wanted to do, and a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked general in the middle stood up and said loudly to Marshal Li: "Marshal, do you think this is good, let General He make a military order, and then take up the position of vanguard, in this way, even if General He can't complete the task, Marshal, you don't have to be ugly in front of the emperor and Shi Xiangye, do you say?" ”

"This~!" Marshal Li still looked thoughtful and refused to agree.

"Marshal, what General Hou said just now is yes, let General He make a military order."

"That is, since General He is competent, he can make a military order." Suddenly, the generals seemed to have exploded, and they were instigating on the side.

Marshal Li's eyes narrowed at this time, and his heart smiled, but he also said: "Everyone be quiet and quiet, it's better not to set up this military order, because this is not child's play." ”

"Marshal, I am willing to make a military order." The young general behind General He gently pushed him, and he hurriedly begged Marshal Li. When the generals next to him heard that General He had made a military order, they immediately persuaded Generalissimo Li to "open the net".

When Marshal Li heard this, his face turned straight and he immediately asked General He: "Are you really willing to make a military order to be a pioneer?" ”

"The last general is willing." General He was afraid that the marshal would not agree, so he hurriedly agreed with certainty.

Marshal Li straightened up, walked to the desk of the Chinese military account, and immediately ordered: "Wait for the left and right pen and ink, and let General He make a military order." ”

General He couldn't wait to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone handed over by the soldiers, and with a single stroke, a piece of military order appeared neatly in front of Marshal Li.

After Marshal Li carefully checked General He's military order, he looked at General He who was kneeling on one knee with a flat face and said, "General He, this is not child's play, I'll give you another chance now, do you have to think clearly?" ”

"Since the last general dares to write a military order, I dare to collapse Haikou. Tomorrow, I will definitely capture the city of the thief army for the marshal~! General He suddenly replied with red eyes, looking at Marshal Li firmly.

On the second day, Marshal Li ordered the generals to practice the general's 10,000 vanguards. The scene of this practice is really spectacular, more than 200,000 officers and soldiers are neatly lined on both sides of the battle column, "Dong Dong ~~!" The sound of war drums touched the hearts of every soldier and general. After Marshal Li picked up the wine bowl and drank the glasses with the zombies who went out to fight, General He's team stood tall and set off neatly towards the city of the thief army.

Behind him, Marshal Li and his advisers looked at the back of General He who was going away from the high platform, and they no longer looked like they were just now, but their faces were already smiling.

The five-mile road is not long, but it is not short, General He's team completed this journey without any thrills, and really felt the majesty of the thief army's city, and General He was immediately ashamed of his bold words in front of the marshal.

Although the soldiers below were trained by General He, when they saw the city, they were also startled by the scene in front of them.

At this time, General He knew that the confidence of his men had been greatly damaged, and he immediately said to the soldiers: "Brothers, are you afraid of the thief army in front of you? Are you a seed? ”

The soldiers hated to hear anyone say that they knew the bad seeds, and they immediately stared at the blood-red eyes and shouted loudly: "We are not bad seeds~~!" We are not a bad seed~~! ”

"Well, since you are not a bad seed, then we are going to capture the city of the thief army today, and show it to those bad seeds who are soldiers just to eat food. Everyone said that it was okay~~~! "General Ho is raising the morale of the soldiers.

"Good~~Good~~Good~~!" The soldiers were even more boiling.

At this time, General He took out his sword and announced: "Prepare to attack the city~~~~!" ”
