Li Zhong: General Xiao! General Xiao! Wake up, wake up!

Zhou Guangzuo: Just a thousand cows, what a bold man! Come on, drag it out to engage in military law!

Tang Chihu: Wait! Young marshal, now that it is the time to employ people in the army, why not temporarily leave General Li's life so that he can make up for his loyalty to King Jin!

Ji Shengyuan: What Captain Tang said is very true! I hope the young marshal will be perfect!

Zhou Guangzuo: It's the opposite! How can military orders be child's play? Those who keep people will be punished for the same crime! Drag it out!

Yuan Dou Dragon: Young marshal! Although the last general has always been at odds with this Xiao Xuexiang, today the last general is willing to protect it with his head!

Zhou Guangzuo: Yuan Dou Dragon! This commander thinks that you are brave and resolute, you must be the first in battle, and you have never cared about your arrogance and indulgence, how dare you be so rude and contempt for military law today! If you dare to commit such a nonsense again, you will not be forgiven!

Yuan Dou Yong: Young Marshal, if you kill me today, I will say it! Li Zhong, although I am not familiar with it, I have long heard of this person's name of loyalty; Xiao Xuexiang, although I am at odds, I have also witnessed that this person is brave, and now he has killed Zhongyong in vain before he has broken the thief, and such a military order is really shameless to obey!

Zhou Guangzuo: Okay! All of them have a long ability! I can see it clearly, it turns out that the army's unstable spirit and long-term inability to conquer are all caused by Xiao Xuexiang alone! You don't let you kill, Ben Shuai is going to cut this thief today! Come on, kill Xiao Xuexiang, Yuan Douyu, and Li Zhong on the spot! In front of the first battalion, the army is disciplined!

Song Xiangpeng: Stop! The general replied to the handsome, how could Rong Er and other pawns interfere? Retire! (Drink to stop the soldiers who stepped forward to capture)

Zhou Guangzuo: Song Caoshen, do you want to meddle in this matter?

Song Xiangpeng: Young marshal, the last general will not dare. It's just that the loss of troops in the rest of the month and the deed thief will not retreat for a long time, and the enemy will not be destroyed but kill the good general, which is really not a wise move, and it is not easy to say in front of the King of Jin in the future. It is better to put this matter on hold for the time being, in order to try to retreat from the enemy.

Zhou Guangzuo: Song Xiangpeng! Don't take King Jin to press me! Will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, even if the King of Jin comes to Lu Long in person, he will follow the discipline of the army, not to mention that you have only followed the King of Jin for a few days!

Song Xiangpeng: General Zhou, if even the King of Jin can't suppress you, could it be that Your Excellency intends to follow the example of Zhu Thief and become emperor? Since General Xiao followed the envoy of Zhou Laojie, which battle was not the first and the champion of the three armies? When did you not keep your mouth shut about the battle plan and do not slack off? When is it not to put others before oneself and help one's colleagues? You can ask Mr. Ren how many arrows he took from General Xiao? How many wounds have been stitched up! Could it be that because of his pre-war doubts, he insisted on avoiding the war and imprisoned him on the tower for nearly a month? Now that you have lost several battles and most of the casualties, you are angry and ashamed to kill the heroes, aren't you afraid that the people will betray your relatives and leave you?

Zhou Guangzuo: Shut up! This is Youzhou! I can't tolerate your little ginseng shouting at five and six! Ben Shuai knows that you have been with the King of Jin, so you know best where the reverse scales of the King of Jin are? And your crime is to collude with the Flying Tiger Army to do evil, and Ben Shuai was ordered to cut it first and then play.

Yuan Dou Dragon: Young marshal! Although the last general entered the camp for a short time, he often heard some veterans' stories, and it was inconvenient for the younger generations to comment on how the Flying Tiger Army was back then, but because Xiao Xuexiang was born in the Flying Tiger, he was punished with rebellion, and I was the first to disagree!

Tang Chihu: I'm not convinced!

Zhou Guangzuo: Okay, good! That handsome man only opened a killing ring to comfort the heart of the army (draw the sword), where is the personal soldier? Take it all for me!

Song Xiangpeng: Who dares! (Shake the big iron halberd in your hand)

Bai Fuze: Slow and slow...... The great enemy should not cause trouble at the moment! If I am equal to the same room, I will only cheapen the Khitan dog thief. It's better to calm down and discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, so that we can live up to the kindness of the king of Jin, the generals.

Xiao Yulin only felt that his mouth was dry and his throat was sweet, his body was sour and drowsy, and he couldn't make a sound when he wanted to stop everyone's imminent fight, but even if he could speak, what should he do? Although there are many familiar faces in front of them, it is not difficult to find from their words and demeanor how strange these people are with themselves. Where the hell are you? What's going on? Xiao Yulin didn't know anything, so he had to listen carefully to every word of everyone, hoping to find some clues from these words.

Zhou Guangfu: Lu Longjie envoy has an order, recruit Zhou Guangzuo to make up for the lack of Lu Long's army, and promote the Wufu Zhonglang to be promoted to the marshal of the three armies in Youzhou, and command the three armies in the Northern Imperial Khitan.

Zhou Guangzuo: Big brother! My father has been absent from the army for a long time, is he really old and confused, how can he favor this chaotic minister's old department? It's really annoying to me! Hi! (Angrily leads his own soldiers away)

Zhou Guangfu: Marshal Xiao, the safety of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Youzhou City is entrusted to you, the matter is very high, and I hope that the marshal will not live up to the trust of the people of Lulong...... Leave.

Ren Tiande hurriedly ran forward after the Zhou brothers walked away, and after checking the pulse, he took pills with broth, and everyone stepped forward to inquire, and the old man only said, "It's okay, you need to recuperate" and then urged everyone to leave the tent for the time being. Everyone paced back and forth but was helpless to go away, and when Li Zhong finally left, Xiao Yulin's stiff big hand suddenly raised, and pulled Li Zhong's arm to pull him back to the couch firmly.

Li Zhong: Snow ...... Xue Shuai, what do you command?

Xiao Yulin: You and my brother don't have to be formal, because of the rare meal break in this day of imprisonment, and the memory of fatigue appears to be broken, you will explain everything for the rest of the month, help me straighten out my mind and try to make a good plan! Remember, everything must be detailed, otherwise don't blame the brother for not remembering the friendship for many years!

Xiao Yulin was born in the army, and has always liked to study the ancient troubled times of the law of using soldiers, the Warring States Period, the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, so from the answers of the people, it has been roughly guessed that this moment is the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, since the three towns of Heshuo in the Lulong town Jiedu is no longer surnamed Liu but surnamed Zhou, it seems that it must be Zhou Dewei Undoubtedly, the hostility is the Khitan, then it is basically concluded that it is the famous Youzhou defense battle at this moment!

Li Zhongqi was loyal and forgiving, and Xiao Yulin's excuse was difficult to find flaws, so he told Xiao Yulin all the big and small things he had seen and heard in the rest of the month, and finally put together everything from dusk to late at night, Xiao Yulin not only understood his own judgment and the form in which he lived, but also gradually mastered some commonly used language styles at that time. After moving his limbs on the couch to confirm that he was fine, Xiao Yulin sat up, and Li Zhonggang wanted to help him.

Xiao Yulin: Qianniuwei Li Zhong listened to the order and was promoted to Youzhou Jinwuwei from now on! Command the patrol affairs in the city, and ensure that the thieves in the city are not prosperous when the soldiers are used, and the people are happy!

Li Zhong: The last general is commanded!

Xiao Yulin: You quickly register and check the residents in the city into men, women, and children, and submit them two days later, there must be no mistakes!

Li Zhong: Only! (Retreat)

Xiao Yulin: Yu Ren, a clerk in the recruitment camp.

Yu Invincible: Xue Shuai is on top, and the lower officials are polite.

Xiao Yulin: Mr. Yu cherishes the benevolence of the world, and takes invincibility as the word, and will cherish the talent of Kuang to help the world.

Yu Invincible: How dare you, Xue Shuai is serious, and he only thinks about his talents.

Xiao Yulin: Yu is invincible and obeys orders! Raise the commander of the tent staff to sacrifice wine and take office immediately!

Yu Invincible: Take your life below!

Xiao Yulin: General Ru Su's lieutenant soldiers will be registered and checked by branch of the army, and they will be returned at this time tomorrow without delay!

Yu Invincible: Only! The beggars were accompanied by three or five marshal tents to help check the statute of limitations.

Xiao Yulin: Exactly!

After assigning the task, Xiao Yulin got up and paced in the tent, and after a while, he saw the armor and blade that the general took back from the tent from Zhonglang, the armor was cold and rusty red, the soldier was two zhang and the sky lance, and the blade was a three-foot cold flame saw.

Heshuo Lulong is an important town in ancient times, the north is Turkic, the south looks at the Central Plains, it is actually the necessary place for the northern nomads to go deep into the Central Plains, after the deep cultivation of generations of strategists, the city wall of Youzhou at this time is high and thick, the water is wide and the pond is deep, and the city is quite patterned before Guo.

The soldiers were promoted to be more wealthy with the main general, so they were all high and confident all the way behind Xiao Yulin, Xiao Yulin did not stop him, but asked some stories about Youzhou City from time to time, and everyone was eager to answer, one by one, and the entire southeast and northwest of Youzhou City had been inspected near dawn. Zhou Guangzuo was stubborn and did not defend the city, although he suffered repeated defeats, but fortunately, he left a strong city that was not destroyed.

Yu Invincible: Yu Xue Shuai, the roster of the military commander and above has been checked, and the rest of the soldiers, horses, baggage, ordnance and other items have been ascertained and reinstated before sunset.

Xiao Yulin: Okay! Mr. ordered the soldiers to be brave and the phoenix chicks to suppress the case, and it is really a blessing for the gentleman to help!

Yu Wudi: Xue Shuai! (Kneeling and hugging fists) Ren life in troubled times, although a little talented but not used for a long time, half a world but as a clerical livelihood, the general does not take benevolence and Confucianism and is promoted, the grace of knowing the encounter is only repaid by death!

Xiao Yulin: Sir, please get up, Xue Xiang is a martial artist, and it is quite comforting to be regarded as a confidant by Mr. in his life. Mr. Lao went to investigate quickly, and it was of great use to the evening.

Yu Invincible: Only! (Retreat)

Xiao Yulin: Order! Upgrade! The team is in the school account! Also, ask the Overseer, Quartermaster, Medical Department, and other ministries to sit in and listen!

After a while, all the soldiers asked for orders to enter the account, three of them were late, Xiao Yulin just didn't know and didn't speak, and after everyone stood up left and right, Xiao Yulin took out the roster.

Xiao Yulin: For the sake of military discipline, the next month's points will be carried out by Ben Shuai himself! Tang Chihu, Yuan Douyu...... Since Yao Si and Zhang Wu don't want to order, let's go to the duty guard, and the rest sit down to eat together, and everyone chats while eating, talking about their ideas. Qi Yun, Han Zhi, Zhao Xuan, the three of you stand up to eat, if you are late again, you will be degraded to a messenger in front of the account!

The three of them said yes, and the firehead army carried the cauldron into the center of the tent, and the generals scooped it in order. After finishing one by one, they each returned to their seats, and everyone couldn't figure out what the meaning of Xiao Yulin's new handsome work was after taking office, but they were silent with the bowl.

Xiao Yulin: Eat it, everyone! While the city of Youzhou has not yet been broken, let's eat more. When we're full, we'll talk about how to fight this battle! Is it war, is it defending, is it peace, is it surrender? Everyone has their own opinions!

Ji Shengyuan: Now that the soldiers are lost, the battle is no longer able to fight, and it seems that the key to the last general is to bother with how to defend the city.

Shan Risheng: He has many Japanese soldiers and generals, and he is not enough to fight, but he is afraid that most of the dead and wounded today will be embarrassed to defend. It is better to seek peace according to the opinion of the last general! Pretending to sue for peace to delay time, waiting for the king of Jin to move north.

The soldiers suffered setbacks in taking the initiative to fight, so the focus of this discussion was how to "defend" and how to "peace". When the conversation was in full swing, I suddenly heard a report: Yelu Abaoji, the king of Khitan, personally commanded an army of 300,000 soldiers under the city. The dispute is to keep peace, and everyone immediately changed their conversations, and the focus of the discussion was biased to the ingenuity of how to "make peace", and Liu Er, who was the deputy envoy of the war, actually said absurd words.

Liu Er: Yelu Abaoji personally commanded the army of 300,000 tigers and wolves to the south, which shows that its intention to annex Youzhou has been decided, if we wait for the enemy to be exhausted and brave, broken walls and ruins to resist the enemy, it is tantamount to hitting the stone with eggs to bring about self-destruction, why not follow the late Jin King's strategy, retreat and temporarily avoid the edge, and then wave his army north to kill him when his strong crossbow power is weak!

Yuan Dou Ray: Presumptuous! At present, the great enemy does not want to sacrifice himself to serve the country and become a benevolent, but he is thinking of abandoning the city to live, which is really a villain's behavior, and the big husband does not despise recovering with you!

Liu Er: Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Moreover, what I said is by no means a begging to surrender, but it is an expedient measure to temporarily avoid the edge, and after going south with the king of Jin and the soldiers, the re-waving division will go north, and the soldiers and horses will be strong at that time.

Xiao Yulin: (unraveling the saber at his waist) Is there anyone who is similar to Lord Liu's plan? Come! Beheaded Liu Er in front of the tent, with the idea of abandoning the city in the desperate army!

Liu Er: Xue Shuai! Wronged, Xue Shuai, the lower official is just an expedient measure, and there is no idea of abandoning the city! Xue Shuai spares his life......

Xiao Yulin: There is no joke in the army, and if you don't fulfill your responsibilities, you will be fruitless.

Liu Er: Xiao Xuexiang! I am the deputy envoy of the Overseer ordered by the King of Jin, and all the punishments for life and death need to be judged by the King of Jin, and those who kill the Overseers indiscriminately will be punished for rebellion! Wouldn't you be able to collude and rebel?

Xiao Yulin: Shut up! What does it mean to kill you and the generals? You say that there is no overseer in the army, and then the commander will use this blade to kill you! (Untie the saber and slap it on the case) If the king of Jin is punished, Xiao will bear it! Drag it out! (Throwing the saber at the soldier who entered the account)

Liu Er: White Overseer save me! White Overseers save me! Xue Shuai spares his life......

Bai Fuze: Xue Shuai......

Xiao Yulin: Could it be that Deputy Envoy Liu's intention is exactly what Bai Overseer wants to say? (Pick up the chopsticks in front of the desk)

Bai Fuze: Ah, Xue Shuaiyan smiled, this official is deeply grateful to the King of Jin, and he has long put life and death out of the way, and swears to live and die with the general in Lu Long!

Xiao Yulin: Okay! The Overseer's Heart is a perfect match for Snow Castle! I'll wait and cook this bowl of mudu soup and discuss the thief's plan! Drink!

As Liu Er shouted, some people who originally had the same idea as Liu Er were all trembling in horror, and some of the gentlemen who had been inserted by Zhou Guangzuo before were even more frightened, Xiao Yulin pretended not to know and only cared about drinking soup, but he remembered them one by one. Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ji had their faces as usual and their diet was the same, while Shan, Shi, Ren, and Bai were afraid but also behaved quite naturally, and the rest were also tough and open-minded. Xiao Yulin was secretly happy in his heart, although the Khitan is fierce, as long as the generals are handsome and the soldiers use their lives, with the high city and deep pools, Youzhou has its own strength to fight!

Xiao Yulin: Since Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns and the people were not able to make a living, and the King of Jin fought for the Tianxing Dao Quartet, and at the moment he was fighting with the thieves of the Zhu Liang State in Zheng, Luo and other places; The Khitan and the old Jin king are about brothers, but now they are taking advantage of the time when my lord is fighting for national thieves in the south. How can we, such a treacherous man, abandon the city? Abandoning the city at this moment, to the king of Jin, how different are we from the Khitan dog thief?

Ji Shengyuan: What Xue Shuai said is very true! The last general swears to live and die with Youzhou!

Xiao Yulin: Okay! War is a must-fight! However, 'the victorious army first wins and then seeks to fight, and the defeated army first fights and then seeks victory.' 'How to seek undefeated in the midst of adversity, and seek a turnaround in the undefeated is the core of this battle that needs to be discussed! In light of the lessons learned from the setbacks in the past few wars, you will talk about how we should use our troops next. However, before that, the marshal announced several decrees. 1. Tang Chihu, who was promoted to lieutenant, was promoted to general of Xiaowei; Second, Cao Shen Song Xiangpeng was promoted to General Weiwei; 3. Promote the brigade marshal Yuan Dou to be promoted to the general of the military guard; Fourth, the promotion of the quartermaster Ji to the promotion of the five government generals; Fifth, promote Qianniu Wei Li Zhongsheng Jin Wuwei; Sixth, the promotion of the secretary to the commander of the tent staff sacrificial wine; Seventh, the staff of the Marshal Mansion of Yin Shengsheng joined the army; Eight...... 16. Zhou Zhangdian, the general of the Right Guard, was promoted to the staff counselor of the commander's tent; Seventeen, the degraded Zhonglang general Kong Qiqi team is ...... The above 21 decrees on promotion and demotion will take effect immediately! The commander governs the army on the basis of meritocracy, those who have military merits will be promoted and rewarded, and those who are difficult to achieve military orders will be degraded and punished! In extraordinary times, there are only eight words in military orders: obey the general's order, good death and evil life!

Soldiers: The last general will be ordered!

Xiao Yulin: Let's start with General Tang.

Tang Chihu: Order! At the beginning, 40,000 soldiers faced 30,000 enemies, and all the defeats were due to arrogance. Now, with less than 10,000 terrifying soldiers against the enemy's 300,000 tigers and wolves, the last general thinks that the only way to defend is to wait for reinforcements!

Yuan Dou Ling: Since the last general entered the camp, he only knew how to charge and fight, and he never shrank back to defend it, I am not good at defending the city, and I really don't like such an aggrieved way of fighting, you can discuss it, and the last general will obey the order at that time!

Song Xiangpeng: Yu Xue Shuai, looking at it from the end of the general, Youzhou City is wide from north to south and narrow from east to west, although the Khitan is besieged, but the strength is mainly distributed on the northwest side. The reason is that although the Khitan went south to temporarily stabilize the Yan land, the Yan people did not covet the sixteen states of Yanyun that were at their fingertips after conquering Youzhou, so if they used troops in the east, it would be very easy to cause contradictions between Qi and Yan, and the truth would be settled, and the Yelu rebel thief would also have to prevent the **** from stabbing in the back; And to the south is bordered by Jin and Liang, if the Khitan rashly arranges the army in the south of the city, it is equivalent to going deep into the Jin, Liang and Yan three places to encircle, which is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, according to the opinion of the last general, the northwest of Youzhou City should be the key defensive position! Concentrate most of the troops and equipment here to wait for the enemy.

The discussion of the generals mostly focused on the strategy and tactics of the Tang and Song dynasties, and as the discussion deepened, they also carried out more detailed planning on the basis of the determination of strategy and tactics, while Xiao Yulin listened silently without saying a word, because his face was expressionless throughout the whole process, and it was difficult for everyone to judge what Xiao Yulin's plans were for a while. At this time, the scout detective reported: Yelu Abaoji Qin Shuai's 300,000 army is less than fifty miles away!

Xiao Yulin: Everyone go back to camp for the time being! The commander has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, and there is only one thing that the generals need to do, and that is to boost morale! Cast into the land of death and then survive, fall into the land of death and then live, only the heart of the trapped beast to fight, the will to fight against the water, there is a chance to die and live!

Soldiers: The last general commands!

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yulin recruited the fire head army Hua Shengnan, what a mighty woman! Leng Yan is tall, wearing leather armor, with a large kitchen knife with a blade and handle not less than 60 centimeters long obliquely inserted at his waist, and his hair is wrapped in a square scarf.

Siu Yulin: Flower ...... Brother Hua, according to 10,000 people, how many days can the grain and grass in the camp be supported?

Hua Shengnan: Yu Dashuai, the standing grain and herbs in the camp are for the three armies to support for half a year, but most of them were transferred from the army when King Jin marched south before March. Therefore, if it is counted according to the three armies, it will be less than a month, and if it is counted according to 10,000 people, it will be less than three months.

Xiao Yulin: Hua Shengnan listened to the order, from now on, three meals a day will be changed to two meals in the morning and dusk, and if others ask, they will say that the grain and grass are only enough for half a month.

Hua Shengnan: Obey! But Xue Shuai, will this cause the morale of the army to be unstable and the soldiers to panic?

Xiao Yulin: Don't worry about Brother Hua, Ben Shuai has his own plans. It's just that...... If the news is gone from you, don't blame the military orders!

Hua Shengnan: Shengnan takes the order!

After Hua Shengnan left, Xiao Yulin figured out his strategy to defend against the enemy on the map in the tent, although the soldiers had already discussed it in the morning, and probably the strategy was also around the proposal proposed by Song Xiangpeng, but Xiao Yulin knew in his heart that even if the city wall of Youzhou was high and deep, even if the soldiers were united in hating the enemy, how could this 10,000 people withstand the attack of more than 300,000 people? Because he couldn't think of a good plan for a while, Xiao Yulin used the strategy of delaying the army, so that Hua Shengnan could let out his breath in the army, hoping that this information could reach Yelu Abaoji's ears, so that he could temporarily hold his troops and buy time for himself to defend against the enemy and implement it.

Approaching noon, Xiao Yulin still did not come up with a feasible plan, in order to spread the matter to Hua Shengnan in the army as soon as possible, Xiao Yulin chose to avoid it temporarily, so that the officers and men in the army could take advantage of this to make a noise. After making up his mind, Xiao Yulin only took two or three personal soldiers to the city for a walk, although the people in the city said that their faces were afraid, but the basic production and life were still in order, when they turned to a lane, they heard a few people making loud noises from a distance, and carefully heard that it was three or five idlers chasing dogs along the street. Xiao Yulin was bored and wanted to have a good time, so he walked quickly through the alleyway, and saw a group of people surrounding a thin yellow dog, but the yellow dog was thin but agile, and it was difficult to capture a few people who rushed left and right, and one of the fat old men slipped under his feet, and there was a series of tumbling against the bluestone street. made Xiao Yulin laugh, and the two pro-soldiers laughed while not forgetting to mock and behave.

Soldier A: Ignorant savages, they don't even know how to beat dogs when they close the door, how can they get caught on this street? It seems that they can't eat this dog meat! Hahahaha......

Xiao Yulin, who was laughing, heard a stirring spirit, his eyes swept over the soldiers, and then after muttering quietly, he said categorically.

Xiao Yulin: Back to camp!

When there was still some distance from the barracks, he heard everyone shouting, and when he stepped forward, he saw a group of soldiers surrounding Hua Shengnan questioning and scolding, Xiao Yulin was overjoyed but pretended to have a solemn expression.

Xiao Yulin: Why is it so noisy?

Yuan Dou Yong: Yu Xue is handsome, the firehead army Hua Sheng Nanke deducts grain and grass, and the brothers hold their heads to defend the city, but they can't even eat a full meal, doesn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?

Xiao Yulin: Is there such a thing?

Hua Shengnan: Back to Xue Shuai, this time is definitely not Shengnanke! In fact, there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, if you don't change three meals to two meals, you will run out of food in a few days, how to deal with the Khitan dog thieves at that time, everyone?

Xiao Yulin: How long can this last?

Hua Shengnan: Returning to Xue Shuai, even so, it is not too much for more than a month, and less for ......

Xiao Yulin: How long is the least!

Hua Shengnan: less than half a month......

Xiao Yulin: Each has its own duties, who dares to reconsider this matter in the future, the military law will not forgive!

He didn't worry about starvation, he couldn't bear the hunger of his subordinates, and the years of war and chaos, the soldiers fought in a big way to serve the motherland and stretch their ambitions, and to say that they were eating a mouthful of food. Now it's good, there are more than 300,000 Khitan rebels outside, and there is a shortage of food and grass inside.

Tang Chihu: Brother Song, Xue Shuai has always been far-sighted, why is he so abrupt today? The shortage of food and grass is really taboo on the defending side, so isn't it worried that the army's morale will be unstable and cause a mutiny?

Song Xiangpeng: Brother Tang Hugh wants to be handsome, since Xue Shuai is like this, he must have his own opinions.

After everyone left in resentment, Xiao Yulin hurriedly recruited his staff Yu Wuving and Qianniuwei Li Zhong, among which Yu Wuving had counted the personnel, among which the soldiers had their own lives, and the soldiers were brave except for a few people with special talents who had names and surnames, and the rest only counted the number of people and ignored their lives. Xiao Yulin brought the two of them closer, and how to arrange it in the ears of the two, the expressions of the two immediately became nervous.

Yu Wudi: Xue Shuai! It's a very risky plan, just in case......

Xiao Yulin: No whatever! Extraordinary times are the best for you! The two of you hurry up and handle it, and you have done a great job, and you will see you if you have done it!

Li Zhong and Yu Invincible: Command!

After the two left, Xiao Yulin quickly recruited Hua Shengnan into the account, and whispered in Hua Shengnan's ear and said aloud.

Xiao Yulin: Sister Hua, today for the first time, three meals are changed to two meals, and this handsome man feels sorry for the soldiers...... The law is ruthless, people have love, this handsome asks you for a favor for the soldiers, make a good meal in the afternoon, and comfort the soldiers in the east of the city!

Hua Shengnan: Since it is arranged by Xue Shuai, Shengnan should obey it!

After a short time, he smelled the smell of meat in the camp, and the soldiers who were originally hungry and demoralized became active in an instant, Tang Chihu became more and more unsure of what medicine was sold in Xue Shuai's gourd, but he was worried that the camp would be lost, so he mustered up the courage to go to the Shuai tent, and as soon as he entered, before he spoke, Xiao Yulin was one step ahead.

Xiao Yulin: Ximen is the place where General Tang patrols and is stationed?

Tang Chihu: Hui Yu Xue Shuai, it is the last general to guard.

Xiao Yulin: In order to adapt the officers and men to the mobile operations that may arise in the future, we are now starting to change guard training. If the soldiers stationed in the west of the city are transferred to the east of the city for dinner, after the meal, the commander has his own arrangements, and the remaining soldiers on duty are exchanged with the soldiers under the commander's account.

Tang Chihu: The last general is commanded! However, Xue Shuai, there will be something unclear in the end, and I hope that Xue Shuai will guide him. Now that three meals have been ordered to be replaced by two meals, how will this be restored?

Xiao Yulin: General Tang, the commander acts, does it need to consult the general in advance?

Tang Chihu: (kneeling) The last general will not dare!

Xiao Yulin: General Tang, please get up, just carry out the order, don't ask more.

Tang Chihu: Order!

Xiao Yulin: But ...... There is indeed one thing that needs General Tang's help. Fighting rays must be brave in battle but have a stupid heart, but because of this, they are especially bad at hiding their hearts. We will meet when we have dinner in the east of the city, and we will meet at that time......

After such a cloud, Tang Chihu left the account in a daze with more questions than when he came. Two hours later, the shadow of the sun fell in the west, and the firehead army called back and forth, beckoning everyone to dinner. Xiao Yulin took the soldiers who had changed their guards to the east of the city to eat, and saw that everyone had gathered here to discuss the lack of food with a sad face, and the prisoners held in the east of the city were even more afraid. It is no wonder that since ancient times, when grain and grass were scarce, the first to be shortaged or even beheaded must be the captives!

Most of the soldiers of the Tiger and Par Battalion under the command of Yuan Dou Yu are majestic and strong, with a fat belly and intestines, and they are good at fighting, so the amount of food is naturally far greater than that of others, and it is only a half full for them when they eat three meals, but now it is naturally more uncomfortable for them after changing to two meals, so this resentment is even more obvious. In particular, Yuan Douyu felt sorry for the soldiers and had a straightforward personality, and it was especially easy to ignite the anger in his chest under the angry complaints of his subordinates, which roared in front of the officers and soldiers. Xiao Yulin was afraid that he wouldn't be noisy, and after hearing his roar from afar, he was secretly happy and walked forward quickly.

Xiao Yulin: What kind of crime should be guilty of being so undisciplined in front of the public!

Yuan Dou Yong: Xue Shuai, even if you want to kill me today, I will say these words! The soldiers are coming to the city, Youzhou is not safe, but the soldiers are not allowed to eat at such an extraordinary time, and the brothers are chilled! What if there is not enough food and grass? It's a big deal to rush out and fight with the Khitan dog thief, and you won't be a starving ghost if you die!

Xiao Yulin: Presumptuous! Ignorance will only show a momentary bravery, if you fight hard, where should the thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of Li people in Youzhou be?

Yuandou Dragon: I don't care about that! Left and right is a death, a manly husband, and he will die vigorously! Marshal Xiao, my Yuan Dou Yan is not on good terms with you, and obeying you to be this marshal is just because your strategy of defending the city is stronger than Zhou Guangzuo's indiscriminate use of troops.

Tang Chihu: Commander, I just received a report that Yelu Abaoji personally led an army of 300,000 troops to camp ten miles away.

Xiao Yulin: General Yuan, this marshal knows your bravery, and also knows that your tiger and leopard battalion is arrogant, and you also know that you suspect that the Cun Xiao Fei Tiger Army back then was just a vain name. Today, Nayelu Xiao'er is only ten miles outside the city, do you dare to go with Ben Shuai, and take advantage of the time when he is stationed in the village to kill the general and frustrate his spirit!

Yuan Douyu: Why don't you dare? How can I be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Behold how I slay the head of the enemy in the midst of the ten thousand armies!

Xiao Yulin: There is no basis for empty words, can General Yuan dare to stand up in front of him?

Yuan Dou Fei: What are you afraid of? Let's take it! If you can't take the head of the enemy, you will pay for it by offering your own head!

Xiao Yulin: Okay! Since the general has made this covenant, how can this commander endure the strong man to go alone? If General Yuan can kill the enemy's head and return it, the marshal should rob the Khitan grain road to feed the soldiers!

Tang Chihu: Xue Shuai! Fighting rays! Never! How can there be jokes in the army, it is difficult to disobey the generals under the military order! It is not easy to kill generals among the ten thousand armies, and it is even more difficult to win food among hundreds of thousands! Snow handsome! Snow handsome! Think again! Youzhou City can't withstand such a toss! Snow handsome! (At first, it was according to the arrangement, and the latter words are indeed heartfelt words)

Xiao Yulin: General Tang must not say again, there is no way out once the military order is established! Four out of ten of the handsome men were incorporated into the Cunxiao Flying Tiger Army, dozens of battles of all sizes, hundreds of beheadings, ****, Zhu Wen and thieves are not afraid, how can they be afraid of the Yelu barbarians? Take the lance!

At first, Xiao Yulin had no confidence in his heart, but when he pedaled the stirrup and got on the horse, he suddenly found that he was so familiar with the road and skillful with the bow and horse, and the gallop of a few horses attracted loud applause from all the soldiers. After grabbing the second horse lance taken by the soldiers, I felt that my confidence was greatly increased, as if the gods had descended to earth! Then he secretly thought to himself, it turned out that this Xiao Xuexiang himself was so brave, no wonder no one questioned that he could be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the three armies by virtue of the mere Zhonglang.

Xiao Yulin: In order to identify the generals in the Khitan camp, take the high-ranking officials among the captives and go with them!

Yuan Dou Fei is a big white horse, bright silver armor, snow-colored robes, painting poles and halberds, the two of them are red and white each leading three hundred tiger elite soldiers, and the general is handsome and dashing through the city from the west gate. The soldiers who dined at the meal did not care about hunger, so they left their meat soup and ran to the west gate to wait.

Let's say that the two of them galloped together, and after five miles, the soldiers divided into two roads, Xiao Yulin led his men and horses to the northwest, and Yuan Douyu went straight to the Khitan Chinese army. After Xiao Yulin ran three miles back, he saw a group of people galloping through the forest from a distance, so he shouted badly! Immediately led the army to kill, and saw dozens of cavalry fleeing from the direction of Youzhou, Xiao Yulin shouted, and killed from the side with a long lance, these scouts disguised as business brigades were not wearing heavy armor, and they were instantly covered up and killed by Xiao Yulin's account according to the armor soldiers trained by the Flying Tiger Army that year, and even found the captain's message and the Youzhou city defense map on one of them.

Xiao Yulin: Wait and bury these thieves deeply, and Ben Shuai will go back when he goes.

Galloping horses in the forest for nearly a mile, in a dense forest col, I saw Li Zhong, Yu Invincible two people led a group of grain carts hiding here, the car is full of Khitan flags, casual soldiers are wearing Hu clothes, Xiao Yulin only then breathed a sigh of relief, after everyone shouted indiscriminately, led a mile away from the tiger soldiers to pull the horses to relax, Li, Yu immediately led everyone to gallop, Xiao Yulin stopped the people who wanted to pursue.

Xiao Yulin: Poor Kou Mo chases, drive the grain truck back to the camp at the same speed, and leave 100 people to follow me!

After receiving the order, the soldiers drove back to the camp at a gallop, but the grain cart was more than twice as slow as the cavalry, and the setting sun sprinkled into the forest, and the two hundred soldiers stepped on their long figures and returned to the camp one after another. After Xiao Yulin saw everyone go away, he was still not at ease, so he sent 50 people around him to reinforcements, and then led the remaining 50 people to the position of the Khitan Chinese army. After everything was arranged, Yuan Douyu, who had more courage than enough strategy, had to worry.

When the more than 50 horsemen walked for a short time, they clearly felt the fierce murderous aura of the majestic army, and when they walked for a short time, they heard the war drums and thunder, thinking that the fighting rays were still fighting with the enemy. The drums of war are endless, and the drums are heart-wrenching, but as long as the drums can still be heard, there is still hope. After walking for a short time, he saw from a distance that there were soldiers in the enemy camp under the pressure of Wu and the soldiers rushing left and right, which was very powerful, Xiao Yulin not only praised it.

Xiao Yulin: What a gentian tiger general! Presumably, Zhao Zilong rode alone with a lone spear to kill Cao Jun, and it was the same!

It's just that no matter how brave Yuan Dou Fei is, he has been surrounded by layers of Khitan at this moment, although the conflict is only limited to the land of projectiles, more than half of the soldiers of the three hundred tiger and leopard battalion have been killed and wounded, Xiao Yulin did not dare to hesitate, and quickly organized more than fifty horsemen into a wedge-shaped phalanx, and attacked on his own horse in front of him, and in an instant he was invincible like a tiger entering a flock. The Khitan people suddenly entered behind them, and they fell to the ground one after another, and the horses stepped on the guns and wailed all over the field.

As far as the fighting eagle is, I saw from a distance that the fighting eagle was fighting with a fierce general holding a big axe, the two of you have a halberd and I have an axe, you have a horizontal spear and I have an oblique split, and everyone who has fled wherever they passed while fighting, and some of the people who walked slowly were injured by the remaining strength of the axe and halberd of the two and fell to the ground. Xiao Yulin didn't have time to think about saving people's hearts, and patted the name of this horse under his crotch. Snowy night red fox's jujube red horse, the war horse is deeply understood, three steps and two steps, the second big lance turned into a long rainbow in the sky, a steady shot through the heart of the enemy general, snatching the horse momentum through the chest, Xiao Yulin will be on one side of the red horse has exceeded the enemy general's head of a horse, the enemy general battle axe of the instant disadvantage was split by the long halberd of the Yuan Dou Dragon, the halberd blade cut straight towards its neck, the tip of the halberd swept Xiao Yulin's sideways helmet slid away, Xiao Yulin was at the moment of the wrong enemy general to hold the head of the spear that exposed the small half of the gun, controlling the long lance blade that passed through the chest, along the armpit of the Yuan Dou Fei because of the arm swing and wide open, by the momentum of the horse to pull out the spear, Yuan Dou Fei took advantage of the momentum to shoot the horse, lightly Shu ape arm to grasp the enemy's head in his hand, and then the halberd poked the ground, the knee between the horse's chest, with the halberd to pass the reverse thrust, forced the white horse to raise its front hooves high, by taking advantage of the momentum to grab the enemy's head of the arm upward, roar!

The red-eyed tiger general let out a long roar, which immediately frightened the enemy soldiers present, and then looked at the majestic posture of the killing god who immediately headed the head, and all of them led the horses to step back and retreat, Xiao Yulin did not dare to hold it up, and immediately ran back to the horse, and shouted "Go back to the camp!" Then he took the lead, facing the enemy troops besieged by layers, and there were only thirty or forty people left among the fifty or so people who brought over, and these thirty or forty people followed Xiao Yulin again to form a wedge formation and galloped forward, and only half of the remaining soldiers of the tiger and leopard battalion under the command of Yuan Dou Yi immediately understood and consciously formed into the wedge-shaped formation composed of Xiao Yulin and his soldiers. Although Yuan Dou Fei was full of fighting spirit, he also knew the general situation, and he still held the head of the enemy general in one hand, galloping his horse in the center of the wedge-shaped formation.

After a while, everyone took advantage of the Khitan retreat to kill the enemy formation, after running out of dozens of zhang, Xiao Yulin reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head towards the direction of the enemy formation, everyone saw that the commander had so many horses lined up on both sides of Xiao Yulin, a handsome and a general stood in the center, facing 300,000 Khitan soldiers, facing Yelu Abaoji, who was surrounded by more than 300,000 Khitan soldiers, more than 100 people roared three times with the word "kill" shouted by Xiao Yulin. Xiao Yulin even laughed loudly and galloped his horse, and everyone cheered and roared and rode back.

When Xiao Yulin and others were less than two miles away from the city, they met more than 200 red-robed soldiers who escorted grain and grass back to the city, and more than 100 soldiers of the tiger and leopard battalion who were soaked in silver armor with blood for the rest of their lives, rode their horses around the grain cart and cheered, and then the two teams of men and horses galloped to Youzhou together. The sun is setting in the west but the remnants of the clouds are like fire, and the triumph of the soldiers can be described as a happy event in the world!
