Chapter 59: Because We Are Righteous
According to statistics, from the beginning of registration to the afternoon of the same day, the number of people who came to sign up reached more than 3,000, which has exceeded the number of people Lin Tian needs. Lin Tian planned to recruit 2,000 combatants and 300 non-combatants.
In order to form an army as soon as possible and organize combat strength, Tianmeng accepted applications and screened at the same time. By the time of dinner, 2,000 soldiers and 500 non-combatants had been recruited.
The reason why non-combatants exceed the budget is because the number of refugees is so large, and the proportion of them is not small, including the elderly, the weak, women and children. There are many pillars of families, they may be the father of the child, the husband of the wife, or the son of the old parents, but most of the pillars of these families are now in the army of Bai Tong, and their fate is unknown.
Collecting more than 200 people means saving 200 more families, which is already Lin Tian's limit now. The Heavenly Alliance's food stocks can't withstand excessive consumption, after all, there is still a white fiddle in front of them that has not been solved. As for the refugees who were not selected, Lin Tian would let them out of the city, and there would always be a way to survive in the mountains.
When Bai Tong received the news from Hals, it was already the next day, and Hals sent people out in the afternoon, and the messenger ran all the way without stopping, so that Bai Yan received the news in the early morning of the second day.
Bai Li, who learned the news, was furious. At the same time, he was very afraid that he would lose his way back, so after receiving the news, he didn't say hello, led the whole army back, and rushed back to Fucheng at full speed.
When Wu Heng saw Bai Yan withdrawing his troops, he naturally knew that it was Lin Tian who made the move. At this time, Wu Heng was taken by Wu Yao, and Wu Yao's grandfather still said that the limit was approaching while recuperating from his injuries. While the three grandchildren who learned the news breathed a sigh of relief, they all worried about Lin Tian's safety.
Soto is still a little unwilling, seeing that Wuheng is about to be taken, and Bai Yan, who has repeatedly been determined to destroy Wuheng, is gone, and he is powerless to support it. Although Zhaga felt a little sorry in his heart that he didn't take Wuheng, he knew that he was the biggest winner in this war.
Wu Heng and the Ghost Fang not only suffered a big loss in strength, but also had major problems within the Ghost Fang, and Soto was likely to be the first in command of Shangdongyi from now on. Because of this, Zaga's mood was the best of the three great leaders.
It's a pity, it would be better if Bai Yan left a few days later to take Wuheng, Zhaga thought greedily in his heart.
In fact, even if Wu Heng leaves a few days late, the two of them will not be able to take Wu Heng. Wu Heng has always adhered to the strategy of sticking to it, and he is determined to be the eighth iron king, which is to fight a war of attrition, not only to consume personnel, but also to consume materials.
In terms of materials, Wu Heng is obviously superior, if Old Man Wu really goes, it is indeed possible to hit Wu Heng's morale hard. But the fact is that he is still alive, and the top management of Wuheng is also well aware of this news, so he repeatedly reassures the people below so as not to affect morale.
Two days later, Bai Yan and his army finally arrived near Fucheng. Seeing Fucheng again, Bai Yan seemed to see his roots, and now that he saw it, his heart temporarily settled down. For Doru's betrayal, he didn't expect it, Doru is a capable person, Bai Yan knows, so he still has a little awe of Doru.
At this time, some people who claimed to be the Heavenly Barbarians found Bai Yan, in fact, these Heavenly Barbarians had received a warrant from Hals to come to support, but unfortunately when they arrived, the city had already changed owners, and Hals was also dead. They numbered only a few hundred people, and they were no match for the garrison in the city, so they would hide near the city of Fucheng, waiting for Bai Li's return, and then find Bai Yan to avenge Hals.
Hearing that Hals is dead, Bai Yan still has a trace of heartache, Hals is his carefully cultivated cronies, and he can save a lot of trouble in normal times. Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work, and now he is dead like this, which is tantamount to the absence of a general around Bai Tong who can help him solve problems.
Lin Tian and Dolu arrived to inform that Bai Yan had arrived near Fucheng and was leading the army to Fucheng. The two of them stood on the city wall, looking at the long line of the Baiqi army in the distance.
Doru asked, "You see multiple people back?" ”
Lin Tian touched his nose, a little embarrassed, he sent the scout Tiewa around him to go out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, but unfortunately the results obtained were too vague and had no reference value at all. And Doru clearly saw that Lin Tian sent Tiewa out to reconnoiter the opposite side, so he asked this question.
Seeing that Lin Tian didn't answer, Doru replied to himself: "More than 17,000 people, haha, when I saw that the fat boy next to you was not the material to do this, I sent someone behind you." ”
Lin Tian knew that he had lost his eyes, and he didn't refute the other party, which was a tacit acquiescence. Lin Tian asked Tiewa to be a scout at the beginning, and he calculated all aspects, but he didn't calculate that Tiewa's counting ability was too poor, and he could count all his own people by counting.
"I don't think you're worried at all, that's more than 17,000 people, and there are more than us, you look so confident, do you have a way to defend against the enemy?"
Speaking of this, Lin Tian knew that the time had come to save face just now.
"A tired army, even if they are relieved, it will be a mess. Don't you see that the number of coalition forces of various ethnic groups has been reduced by too much, and Bai Yan is just using them as cannon fodder. There are also a lot fewer guards under Bai Li, look at how many people Bai Yan sacrificed for his own selfishness. I believe that one day, they will recognize the ugly face of Bai Yan and realize the depth of his sin, and they will return to the side of justice. ”
"Why are you so confident in case the day comes late? We can't hold out until then, what should we do? ”
Lin Tian smiled at Doru quite confidently, "Three days, counting today, at most three days, Bai Yan will be in the past." ”
"Oh, hearing you say that, I'm very curious about how you can defeat Bai Yan in three days."
Lin Tian was secretly complacent in his heart, Lin Tian wanted to convince the old man of Doru completely this time, and he had to teach him once, let out a sigh, Lin Tian would always be told by Doru when he was in a hurry, and this time Lin Tian would definitely turn against him.
"Sometimes defeating the enemy doesn't necessarily require fighting and killing, and surrendering without a fight is the real skill, you just see!"
"You don't need to kill, you don't need to fight?" Doru was a little puzzled, how to defeat the enemy without fighting and killing was unheard of in his worldview.
Bai Yan led his army to camp near Fucheng, he needed to feel the details of Doru, and now the army was too tired to fight.
He took a few horsemen to the city of Fucheng and shouted to Doru through the air. "Doru, you villain, why did you betray the ghost party and actually get together with the traitor." Although Bai Yan has been suppressing their group of elders in recent years, he has no worries about his life, but Dolu actually betrayed himself with the traitor, which made him unable to figure it out.
"Joke, when did I betray the ghost party, why don't you say why I betrayed you. You are you, the ghost side is the ghost side, under your hands, you see for yourself, what the ghost side has become. As the leader of the Demon Side, it is my duty to save it from the ravages of you who only know how to fight for power. ”
"I am the great leader of the ghost side, and if you betray me, you will betray the ghost side. Do you think I don't know that you are not for the power of the ghost side, while I am fighting with Wuheng in the front, but you are digging my foundation in the rear, they are all a group of shameless people. ”
Doru spat at Bai Yan, "Phew, you think that everyone is just like you, and for your own selfishness, you will bury the entire ghost recipe." If you hadn't started this war, would we have sacrificed so many people and created so many homeless people? Everyone can't even fill their stomachs, but you don't care about it and insist on going your own way, what qualifications do you have to be the big leader of the ghost party. ”
"Hmph, you will regret it, the day I break the city, it will be the time when your whole clan will be buried."
Bai Yan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Doru said every word on Bai Li's sore feet, which made Bai Yan extremely angry, and he even threatened to destroy the entire Doru clan, which was really domineering.
In the face of Bai Li's threat, Doru's heart trembled, Bai Yi was known to him, and Doru was now very worried that Fucheng would be breached.
"Lin Tian, do you really have a way to defeat Bai Yan in three days, please tell me the truth."
"Three days is already a lot, if it's fast, you can see the effect the next day, you wait and see!"
"Why are you so confident?"
"Because we are righteous, haven't you heard a sentence that evil cannot defeat good!"
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he went down the city wall, and now he had to go back to arrange the matter of dealing with Bai Li, and strive to make Bai Yan desperate within three days.
Doru frowned, if someone else said such a thing, he would definitely think that this person was crazy. However, this matter is related to both of them, Lin Tian will not do his best, and in the end, he has no choice but to believe Lin Tian's confidence, but his own arrangements will not be left behind.
"Evil prevails over good, because we are righteous?"
Doru asked himself, standing alone at the head of the wall.
