Chapter 336: The Power of Life and Death

The soldiers of the Xiji Tiger Battalion, who were disturbed in a group, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the names of the comers, and the sergeants dismounted under the command of Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu and returned to their posts just now.

After Lan Ziyi heard that it was the Royal Forest Army coming to help, he led Tao Zhutu and the father and son of the enemy family to ride horses over there to meet them.

Since the warrior who spoke was wrapped from head to toe, including the warhorse, behind a thick iron armor, it looked like a talking stone tablet standing on the ground from a distance. When Lan Ziyi walked to him, he realized that the person in front of him was not just a stone tablet, it was simply an iron tower.

The knight on horseback is wrapped in iron armor, even in the rain and fog at dusk, you can see that the dark black armor reflects the cold air, and the person is wrapped in iron armor, and the outline can not be seen clearly from a distance, only after approaching can you detect that the person's height is comparable to Lan Ziyi, you must know that Lan Ziyi's height can usually walk on the street and be a head taller than the people around him. And the war horse under this person's crotch is not an ordinary military horse, after Lan Ziyi crossed the river, he transferred to the war horse in the Xiji Tiger Camp, which is already one of the best horses in the world, and the shoulder height of the ironclad knight's war horse in front of him is more than an inch higher than Lan Ziyi's war horse, and the whole horse looks bigger. Lan Ziyi urged the horse to come to him, feeling that he was riding a donkey.

Looking at the tower-like warrior in front of him, even Lan Ziyi couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, and the peach chasing rabbit on the side even lost his voice and said:

"Iron Float!"

Lan Ziyi turned his head and glanced at Tao Zhutu, not understanding what Tao Zhutu was talking about, and Qiu Wenruo on the other side explained:

"The elite cavalry of the Imperial Forest Army, the people and horses are one of the thousands, carefully selected tall and strong men, there are only a thousand people in the Taicheng Imperial Forest Army in the whole world, known as the Iron Floating Slaughter, only when the sacrifice to the heavens and the earth and the funeral of the first emperor, the new emperor will appear when he ascends the throne, and it is rare to even see it on weekdays."

Lan Ziyi listened to Qiu Wenruo introduce this Iron Floating Cavalry to him, and at the same time looked past the sergeant in front of him and threw himself on the road behind, where the other Iron Floating Cavalry were constantly moving closer to this side.

Lan Ziyi took a breath and sighed softly:

"Even the emperor is going to gamble with his life!"

The ironclad knight in front of him saw that Lan Ziyi stopped not far away, so he urged the horse to take a few steps forward and came to Lan Ziyi.

"The villain has seen Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi once again went up and down a large number of sergeants, and then clasped his fists and saluted back:

"You're welcome, brother."

Then Lan Ziyi asked:

"How many reinforcements have come to the capital? Only a thousand of you came? β€œ

The sergeant replied:

"The three thousand Imperial Forest Army of Taichengwei and the arsenal battalion outside the Xuanwu Gate are here, a total of 13,000 people. Our cavalry went fast, so we came first, and the ranks of the arsenal battalion were not far away, and we would be back later. β€œ

Lan Ziyi lowered his eyes and calculated carefully, wanting to see how many people were in the capital after this batch of reinforcements, and Qiu Xiaozhi blurted out after hearing this number:

"In this way, isn't the capital already an empty city?"

Lan Ziyi was taken aback when he heard this, although he knew that the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to put on a desperate posture, but he didn't expect the emperor to even send out the defenders of the capital.

When the ironclad sergeant heard this, he replied:

"It is true that the regular army of the capital has been dispatched, but there are also the defenders of the capital under Jing Zhaoyin, which is not an empty city."

Qiu Wenruo didn't continue to ask when he heard this, but Lan Ziyi didn't look at it and knew that Qiu Wenruo's face was not good-looking now, and there were only some security teams left in the huge capital, so it could be said that it was not an empty city.

The ironclad sergeant looked at the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who were busy not far away, and asked:

"Dare to ask if Captain Wei Hou is stationed here? Why haven't you even erected a barracks? β€œ

兰子义 says:

"The camp is still in the west, just repelled the attack of the demon thieves, tonight we are stationed here, I will lead the Xiji Tiger Battalion to camp first."

When the sergeant heard this, he immediately said:

"In that case, let's help together, if the village of tens of thousands of people only relies on the Xiji Tiger Camp, I am afraid it will be difficult to erect it."

Lan Ziyi hugged his fists and thanked:

"Then it's hard work for you, brothers."

In this way, the Imperial Forest Army and the soldiers of the Arsenal Battalion, who came from the capital one after another, were successively thrown into the ranks of the camp, and many more people helped the camp to be set up before sunset. After dark, the teams on the side of the big camp also quietly marched one after another, and all the teams from the old village had already been drawn from before the end of the day.

After the whole army had eaten dinner in batches, the sergeants went back to their tents to rest, and from the outside, the whole village was silent, and there was a little light out of the big tent.

For officers at all levels, tonight's business has just begun, Zhang Wang has already ordered officers at all levels to go to the big tent to listen to orders, and Lan Ziyi also led the Tao brothers to the big tent. Originally, Lan Ziyi wanted to bring the father and son of the Qiu family, but Taiwei Zhang did not order the father and son of the Qiu family to go tonight, so Lan Ziyi had to give up.

Walking on the road, Lan Ziyi asked Tao Zhulu:

"Is there still any contact between the second brother and the thief's eyeliner?"

Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:

"When we were chasing outside the city, our biggest eyeliner among the demon thieves was cut by Lei Youde himself, the people in the fishing village I found in Shouchun were already the last eyeliner I had ever seen, when we crossed the river, we were in a hurry, and there were great changes in the demon thief army, and Wei Hou has also seen it in the past few days, the boats that the demon thieves on the river crossed the river and sank are mostly the boats of the people who accompanied the army, and the people I finally stayed among the demon thieves and were bought by me also lost a lot when crossing the river, if you want to get in touch with the eyeliner in the demon thieves, it's not impossible, But it takes time. β€œ

Tao Zhulu said that, he looked at Lan Ziyi's frowning brows, and said in a deep voice:

"If the young master has a need, I can go out and try it now and see if I can contact someone."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately raised his hand to stop Tao Zhulu, and he said:

"No, second brother, it's too dangerous to do this, tomorrow's decisive battle is important, I don't want to break you for a little profit. I'll talk about that later. β€œ

After Lan Ziyi said this, he shook his head self-deprecatingly and muttered:

"No matter what the result is tomorrow, there will be no future, so we still think about how to arrange tomorrow's battle."

While speaking, several people had already come to the big tent, and the officers in the battalion had already gathered here, and there was a crowd of people outside the big tent.

Lan Ziyi opened the curtain and entered the tent, the tent was already crowded, Lan Ziyi thought that the demon thief would use a trebuchet to bombard here at this time, and there would be no need to fight tomorrow's battle.

The generals in the army walked into the big tent one after another, so many people were crowded in a tent, but there were only a few lights in the tent, and these lights were all around the sand table in front of Zhang Wang, and the generals who entered the tent could just see what was on the sand table, as for the rest, they could only vaguely see Zhang Wang's cold facial lines and the gloomy eyes of the fish father.

Although there were many people in the tent, Lan Ziyi was so cold that he shivered from the cold air emitted by the commander and the prison army. Lan Ziyi turned his head and glanced at the Tao family brothers who came with him, they were not much more courageous than Lan Ziyi, and the other generals in the tent could be imagined.

Zhang Wang lowered his brow and glanced at the person in the tent, and then spoke:

"Now that we're all here, let's talk about tomorrow."

Zhang Wang's voice was not loud, but after he spoke, the only remaining noise in the tent disappeared without a trace, and several timid generals even held their breath.

Zhang Wang continued:

"In today's battle, the enemy and I have a rough idea of the opponent's strength, and the strength of our army is not enough to defend the capital, and the demon thief understands this. Yesterday I could scare the demon thief back to the other side of the river, today I can block the demon thief at the Xinting ferry, but tomorrow I can only fight the demon thief. ”

After looking at the words, someone under the tent asked:

"Captain, do we have reinforcements?"

Looking at the person who spoke, the cold light in his eyes could make people freeze. Zhang Wang says:

"Yes, it's already here."

The man who spoke was stared at by Zhang Wang, and his bones were sore, and he wanted to turn around and leave on the spot, but after thinking about it, he still stubbornly said:

"But Captain, only the Imperial Forest Army and the Arsenal Battalion came, and this reinforcement is too few compared to the thieves."

Zhang Wang didn't get angry, his brows actually stretched a little after hearing this, and he only heard Zhang Wang ask:

"And what more do you want?"

The questioning general was already sweating profusely, and he plucked up the courage to say:

"I heard that the Dongzhen Army on the southeast coast has already set off for the capital, why don't we join up with the Dongzhen Army and fight the demon thieves?"

Looking at the man who waited for the speaker to finish speaking, then glanced at the generals present on the side, and said calmly but in a high-pitched voice:

"Because by the time the Dongzhen soldiers arrived, the capital had already been breached!"

Looking at this roar, no one in the tent dared to speak anymore. Everyone listened with bated breath and continued to talk about Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wang says:

"Fighting a war is not counting, it's not a comparison of size, if there are more people and who wins, then what do we need our group of Qiu Ba to lead the troops for? Just calculate which side has more people and who won't win? β€œ

Then Zhang Wang's tone eased, and he said:

"A few days after the imperial court dropped the order of the southeast town army, if we don't fight, the demon thieves can fight the capital for at least three days before the reinforcements arrive. Who can hold the wall of one hundred and sixty miles? Impossible. So you expect to cry here and ask for reinforcements, so let's talk about how to fight tomorrow. ”

Lan Ziyi heard Zhang Wang's words and looked up at the surroundings, and after seeing that none of the generals spoke, Lan Ziyi clenched his fists and said:

"Captain, the general has something to say."

After getting the eyes of Zhang Wang and Father-in-law Yu's consent, Lan Ziyi said the deployment of the demon thief that Qiu Xiaozhi deduced today, and finally Lan Ziyi said:

"According to the results of the discussion between the last general and Qiu Xiaozhi, tomorrow our cavalry should mainly squeeze the new demon thief, and strive to repel the demon thief so that he tramples on each other, only in this way our military has an opportunity."

After listening to what Lan Ziyi said, Zhang Wang glanced back at Father-in-law Yu, Father-in-law Yu closed his eyes and nodded silently at Zhang Wang, and then looked at him and said:

"What Wei Hou said makes sense, in that case, you can bring the mounted cavalry to serve as the main attack tomorrow."
