When Lin Liehuo rushed to the barracks in a hurry, there was already a panic here, and many low-ranking military attachés were running around the camp, shouting for the soldiers to hurry up and prepare their armor and weapons, and ordered people to carry all kinds of equipment to defend the city in the direction of the city wall.

And when he came to the command post, Lin Lie heard a gossip of quarrels outside, obviously because the generals were not the slightest psychological preparation for the sudden invasion of the Mongolian people, and they couldn't come up with a certain idea.

In fact, this is also reasonable. Since the war more than ten years ago that was crucial to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian people have hardly really raised soldiers to invade the Ming border. Especially in a border town like Jizhou, where tens of thousands of soldiers are clearly located, it is not easy for the Mongols to drive out troops to offend.

Over time, the border troops here will seem to be at a loss when they encounter a sudden war, and even the generals will not be able to make a completely correct response at this time. So several major generals in the hall of the command post fought together, one said that they would hold out, the other said that they would send troops to resist the enemy, and some said that they would divide their troops into four cities to prevent the Tartars from attacking from several other directions...... I don't think so, no one can convince anyone anyway.

In fact, if you talk about the most powerful here, it is Liu Daorong, the prison guard, but at this time, he was already frightened by such terrible news, and his face was so pale that he didn't know what to say. As for Shi Qingyan, the deputy commander-in-chief, this is a pragmatic person, once he found that there was wolf smoke rising in front of him, he had already rushed to the barracks in person to boost morale.

So when Lin Lie walked into the lobby, what he saw was a chaotic scene where Liu Jianjun was panicked and the generals below were arguing, which made his brows furrow quickly, and he immediately shouted: "What are you all doing?" The military situation is like fire, do you still have the leisure to fight here? ”

"General Lin Bing......" As soon as the generals saw him, they all subconsciously got up and saluted. Maybe they were thinking about setting up the main general of the three armies because of the benefits of Shi Qingyan before, but at this critical juncture, Lin Lie's arrival actually made everyone feel that they had the backbone, and their expressions were much more respectful.

At this time, Liu Daorong was also shouted by this sentence and calmed down a little from his panic, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, it seems that you have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

"It's hard to say what the best way to retreat from the enemy, but I would have thought that continuing to quarrel like this now would only give the invading enemy a greater chance. What we have to do now is to work together and quickly come up with a charter to defend and break the enemy. Lin Lie said, and walked to the top chair and sat down calmly. At this time, his eyes flashed with confidence and majesty, so that all the soldiers did not dare to have the slightest contempt, and a few people immediately hugged their fists and said: "Obey the dispatch of the chief soldier." ”

It was so smooth to suppress everyone present, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Lin Lie, but at this time, he couldn't care about these little things, and immediately said: "The transfer of soldiers and horses can be discussed later, and the top priority now is to find out how many enemies are coming to my Jizhou, and second, let the local government pacify the people as soon as possible, but don't cause any chaos in the city." ”

"You're right

It's easy, can we still send scouts out of the city to investigate the enemy's military situation now? Even if there were soldiers who were willing to take such a risk, they would probably not be able to bring back accurate information. Liu Daorong was already angry because Lin Lie's arrival completely suppressed him, so he naturally took the opportunity to find fault at this time.

The other generals also showed embarrassed expressions, they had to take the initiative to detect the enemy's situation, and now they are so passive, is it still possible?

Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Lie just grinned: "Have you forgotten that there are airships and other weapons in my city to defend the city?" I told you a long time ago that even if the weather is cold, you have to keep the airship in the air and watch out of the city, but you are all good to take it as a deaf ear! ”

Since the airship built by Lu Zhen was launched in Daming many years ago, all cities in the frontier will be equipped with these cowhide balloons, and at the same time, a special airship army has been specially deployed to check the enemy's situation.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and as the border war died down, the soldiers of the border army gradually began to slacken. They no longer hoisted their airships in the four cities to observe the surrounding situation as before, but only occasionally raised one to make a appearance, and finally learned to find various reasons not to make this arrangement, such as because the weather was too cold.

Perhaps Lu Jin's creation of the airship is indeed a great enhancement to the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, but it is impossible for the soldiers below to meticulously implement the corresponding regulations, and as a result, sharp weapons such as airships can only be hoarded in the warehouse to eat ashes.

After hearing Lin Lie's reprimand, the faces of the generals suddenly turned red, and the chief soldier had indeed mentioned it several times before, and everyone also intended to do it. But as a result, the chief soldier was imprisoned, and it was naturally impossible for everyone to follow it anymore.

"Qian Yong, you should bring some people to take out the airship and let it take off as soon as possible." Lin Lie didn't blame much at this time, but just ordered casually by name.

The named Qian Zong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists, and hurried away.

Then, Lin Lie's eyes were fixed on Liu Daorong's face again, and he saw that the other party was panicked for a while, and the killing intent in his eyes really couldn't be hidden. But soon, Lin Lie took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Gonggong Liu, you have always had a good relationship with the official government in the city, so please go and communicate, let them send people to appease the people in the city, and at the same time strictly prevent any Tartar spies from causing chaos in my Jizhou City." ”

As soon as Liu Daorong heard that he was going to assign himself to do such an errand and pass on errands, his face changed a little: "Mr. Lin, our family is a supervisor sent by the imperial court, and our duty is not to fight for you......"

"The military situation is urgent, and there is really no one available around the general, so he can only grieve Father-in-law Liu." Lin Lie said, seeing that the other party seemed to want to say something, he turned his face again: "Father-in-law Liu, this is a military order, please don't shirk!" ”

"You ......" Liu Daorong wanted to say something, but after meeting the other party's eyes that contained a hint of chill and murderous aura, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. If it was peacetime, he, the prison army, could still wrestle with him, but in such a wartime, the situation would be completely different.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is different from the former Song Dynasty, and it is not enough to hand over military power

Those literati who have never even touched a sword in their hands, even if they have a prison army, are generally only for checks and balances. Once on the battlefield, it is still the final word of the leading general, otherwise the order will only cause chaos and lose a battle that could have been won.

Moreover, at this time, the Lord will have more power to kill and kill, that is, to do it cheaply. As long as he was convinced that someone would hinder him from winning the battle, or if there were subordinates who did not listen to orders, he could cut them down and report to the court after the battle.

Liu Daorong has been supervising the army for many years, and as soon as he heard the other party mention that this was a military order, and his eyes showed a fierce light, he knew that he could not shirk this matter, otherwise he would only give the other party an excuse to kill himself to avenge his personal revenge. Gonggong Liu is very comparable to people in the end, he can bend and stretch, and immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "Then our family will go to the city to inform a few yamen to act." ”

"Father-in-law Liu will not send it slowly." After Lin Lie lost such a sentence lightly, he turned his attention to how to dispatch troops to defend the city and other matters, while Liu Daorong could only leave the barracks with a gloomy face and reluctance.

To say that Lin Lie is indeed a military talent, after some assignment and arrangement, all the generals who had different opinions were convinced, and each took the order. And with them gone, the mess outside was much better, and everything was in order.

When they knew that all this was because of Lin Lie's decisive command, the whole army had a little more respect for General Lin Bing, and some lower-level military attachés or ordinary soldiers even had the intention of fighting for him.

In fact, the military camp is much simpler than officialdom, as long as you have enough skills and can show it in public, it is easy to win the hearts of all the soldiers. It's just that Lin Lie didn't have the opportunity to show his talent in using soldiers before, so he was suppressed by his subordinates and the prison army.

After conveying and arranging the relevant orders, Lin Lie came to the huge Jizhou city defense map again and looked at it carefully. Although he had seen this picture countless times before, and even every detail had been imprinted in his mind, at this time he still had to carefully study every corner of the picture to see if there were any omissions that had to be improved.

A moment later, another thought flashed through his mind. Previously, Lu Zhen had reminded himself that as long as the enemy attacked, it would be a good opportunity for him to regain military power. Now that the opportunity has arrived, and the biggest hidden danger, Liu Daorong, has been temporarily sent away, does that mean that he can completely seize the military power?

"But what if Liu Daorong comes back suddenly?" Lin Lie frowned, and suddenly an idea jumped out, and immediately shouted outside, "Someone." ”

The two sergeants immediately appeared in front of the door, waiting for instructions from their general. Lin Lie didn't hesitate, and said: "In order to prevent any changes in the military camp here, pass on my order now, close the gate of the military camp, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave with this general's order." ”

The two hurriedly agreed, took the arrow and hurried away. Lin Lie let out a long sigh of relief, so that Liu Daorong, who had just left, would not be able to enter again. It would be much easier to deal with Shi Qingyan alone......
