The rebels captured Stone Wind City, but it was only the beginning. Wei Zeng, Qi Weilun, Gu Cha and the others have been busy for the situation in Stone Wind City. Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi stepped up to organize their personnel and teach them some simple attack and kill fighting techniques.

Qi Weilun preached some benevolent policies, such as tax exemption and free grain. Qi Weilun relied on his influence in Shilin to gather some down-and-out scholars to promote Wei Zeng as a model of "benevolent monarch", and bribed some unemployed homeless people to go to the surrounding towns and villages, exaggerating some of Wei Zeng's past events. As a result, the so-called Mobei Flying Eagle, Madman, Living Hades and other names were widely known.

Wei Zeng looked at the organized rebel army, and he didn't have much confidence in the future. But the water has been spilled, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back.

"The Jingnan Army is not the most elite army in the imperial court, but they are really murderous, and they will never leave a living mouth wherever they go. We have no way out, there is only a dead end to lay down our arms; Fight to the death, and there can be a way to live. If you want to go, you can go now, and I will not hinder you; But if anyone dares to take a step back in front of the Jingnan army, don't blame me for being ruthless under the staff. Wei Zeng said to the assembled crowd.

"We don't go, we all listen to the general. If we can capture Shifeng City, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jingnan army. ”

"I've had enough of those people in the Jingnan Army for a long time. Now Lao Tzu has a guy in his hands, even if he dies, he has to pull a few to make a back. ”

Some people were not afraid of life and death, and when they heard Wei Zeng's words, they responded, and they were excited for a while. However, there are still a considerable number of people who are not very optimistic about the future, but they also know the ferocity of the Jingnan army, so they have to follow Wei Zeng to fight.

After Wei Zeng boosted his morale, he asked the newly appointed officers at all levels to train the soldiers, and he and Gu Chayi went to the city lord's mansion to discuss matters with Qi Weilun.

"Cha Yi, has the letter to the Flying Eagle Village been sent?" Wei Zeng asked on the way.

"It's been sent out, but I'm afraid the Flying Eagle Village is too far from here to help." Gu Chayi said.

"In case we can defeat the Jingnan army, there are people from the Flying Eagle Village who rush over to strengthen our strength; If we can't defeat the Jingnan army, we will retreat in the direction of Feiying Village, and we can better retreat if there are people from Feiying Village to meet us. Wei Zeng said.

"Retreat? If we can't win, can't we occupy Stone Wind City and hold on? Stone Wind City is such a strong city, we have thousands of people, and we have enough food, so we can definitely defend it. Gu Chayi said.

"Yesterday I discussed it with my eldest brother. I feel that Shifeng City is a lonely city, and we have just gained a foothold in people's hearts and are not stable at all. If you fail again, there is no way to hold the city. Even if we keep it, what can we do? Being surrounded in the city, and without foreign aid, waiting for the Guanbei Army and the Iron Blood Army to come is a dead end after all. Therefore, defending the city is the next policy. Wei Zeng told Gu Chayi what Qi Weilun said yesterday as it was.

"So what to do? These people are not the opponents of the Jingnan Army at all, and there is definitely only one possibility of defeat in a head-to-head confrontation with the Jingnan Army. If that were the case, we might as well flee to Yishan now. Gu Chayi said a little deflated.

"We can't run away, and now most of these people follow us to resist because they are afraid of the brutality of the Jing Yan Army. If we run now, I am afraid that people's hearts will be scattered immediately. There are tens of thousands of refugees here, most of them with their families, how far can they run even if they run? Wei Zeng said.

"Then there's only one dead end. That's it, I'm not a greedy person who is afraid of death. Wei Zeng, I'll go back to the Hades Palace with you. But you must send Xiuxiu away first, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, but she must be fine. Gu Chayi said.

"Although the form is not optimistic, it is not a certain death. Not as pessimistic as you think. Wei Zeng said with a smile when he heard this.

"Wei Zeng, what are you laughing at? You must have something you didn't tell me! When is it, you don't want to sell it. Gu Chayi said anxiously.

"I discussed with my eldest brother: this Stone Wind City is strong, and our strength is weak, and we know that the Jingnan Army can definitely know it from the mouths of those squires who have left. The Jingnan army must have thought that we would hold the city. Only by surprise can the enemy be defeated. We discussed sending a group of elite soldiers to ambush the Jingnan army where it must pass, and take the opportunity to burn its grain and grass and disturb the morale of its army. When the time comes, the two groups of people will attack the Jingnan army, and the Jingnan army will be defeated if they don't care about each other. Wei Zeng explained.

"But the Yanbei Plain is a flat river, and there is not even a small mountain bag, so how can you ambush the Jingnan army. Isn't it necessary to dig a hole in the ground? Gu Chayi said.

"Of course not, you'll know when you get to the City Lord's Mansion." Wei Zeng said.

The two of them walked a short distance and came to the City Lord's Mansion. Qi Weilun did not deal with affairs in the mansion as usual, but talked to a person at the door.

"Brother Xian, Brother Gu, you are back. Come with me, and I'll show you some good things. Qi Weilun was in a good mood now, and when he saw Wei Gu and the others, he greeted him.

"You two don't tell me anything, and you still love to sell off, now you can talk about it." Gu Chayi grumbled.

"It's not that I didn't consult with you, but you have been training soldiers for the past few days and have not returned to the City Lord's Mansion, so I haven't had time to tell you yet. But it's definitely a good thing that you can rest assured. What do you see in the yard ahead? Qi Weilun said with a smile.

As soon as Gu Cha heard Qi Weilun's words, he quickened his pace and walked into the courtyard, only to see more than 200 horses tethered to it, a pile of spears piled up next to it, and there were also many bows and crossbows on the shelves.

"Wei Zeng, what does Mr. Qi mean by this?" Gu Chayi still didn't understand.

"We mean for you to assemble a cavalry team. Although the Yanbei Plain is not dangerous to defend, it is a great advantage for the cavalry. As long as the cavalry is used properly, it is like the wind on the plains, and the infantry is helpless. These horses were collected from all over the city, and these weapons were brought from the armory, just to get you to select some people to form a team. Then they harassed the Jing Nan army and took the opportunity to burn their grain and grass. How, can you do it? Wei Zeng said.

"Of course, no problem, although there is no one who is as skilled in riding as the Zhantu. But it's okay to find someone who can assassinate an archer on a horse. I'll leave the matter of the cavalry to me. As soon as he thought of the situation where he was charging with his cavalry, he immediately agreed.

"This Stone Wind City is close to Mobei, and there are often Zhantu people who come to trade with horses, otherwise there will be no horses in a city elsewhere?" Qi Weilun said with a smile and stroked his beard.

"There are no horses anywhere else, but there are plenty of donkeys and mules." Gu Chayi said casually.

Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Speaking of donkeys, I really have one in Yishan, and my senior sister Wu Linzi likes it. The donkey was still snatched from a county lieutenant in Anyun back then. Wei Zeng remembered the donkey in Yishan and said. I also remembered the past when I and Weizhen, Wen Di went to Kansai to look for Feng Liansheng.

"It's hard to think about it now. But now the mercy is gone; When Wendi arrives in Jiangnan, he may never have the opportunity to meet again in the future; Well, at least I'm still there. Wei Zeng inadvertently touched the sadness, and said secretly in his heart.

Wei Zeng and Qi Weilun, as soon as Gu Cha talked about some things again, they found an excuse and left.

Wei Zeng walked out of the courtyard and saw that the sun was about to set in front of him, and the sun could already be seen directly, and the golden sun was slightly red.

Hearing the sound of armor clanging behind him, Wei Zeng turned his head and saw a golden light shining. Wei Zeng fixed his eyes and looked closely, and it turned out to be Sajiali coming over.

Sagaree was now dressed in gold armor, armed with a spear, and a red scarf tied up her long hair, looking sacrosanct in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"You already have a wife, how can you look at other women like this. No, I'm friends with you, you don't think I'm looking at a woman. That's right, that's it, you can watch it as much as you want. Sagaree said when she saw Wei Zeng looking at her.

"It's just that the sun doesn't see clearly for a while. Miss Sa, I didn't expect you to get involved in so many things for no reason, Wei Zeng is ashamed of you. Wei Zeng said.

"Anyway, I'm used to your shame, so don't say it. I've learned a few things about how to manage people since I was a kid, and I haven't been able to use them anyway, so I'm going to help you now. However, these soldiers are very bad, not only are they not as good as the warriors of the original Goddess Sect, but even some of our ordinary children in Yaodong are much stronger than them. Sagaree couldn't help but complain as she remembered the day she had been training her soldiers.

"Those soldiers have never learned martial arts since they were children, and now they have just been able to eat enough and have just picked up weapons, and their combat effectiveness naturally cannot be compared with the children of Yaodong who have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Miss Sa can help train them, Wei Zeng is here to thank you. Wei Zeng said apologetically.

"I've said we're friends. That Gu Cha and Qi Weilun have been helping you, why don't you thank them. You must still treat me like an outsider. Sagaree said a little unhappily when she heard this.

"It's not like that. It's just that I promised to take you to Yishan, but there are always troubles along the way, and now I can't tell when I can get to Yishan. Wei Zeng explained.

"Isn't it to come to Yishan just to start a new life and learn to be a free and self-owned person? I think it's not bad here, I heard that you are from Yanbei, so I decided to start a new life here. You can rest assured that with my training, even waste can become an elite soldier, and the Jingnan army is not to be feared! Sagaree said with a proud face.

"Then there's Miss Laussa. You've been tired all day today, so go back and have a good rest, maybe you'll be busy tomorrow. Wei Zeng said.

"I'm not a weak woman, don't forget that I'm a Valkyrie, how can a god be burdened by mortal things." Sagaree said with a smile.

"See you tomorrow!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Seeing Wei Zeng leaving, Sajiali sighed and said, "The elders are right: everyone has everyone's fate, and there is no escape. Those who abdicate their responsibilities will certainly not be favored by God. Wei Zeng will let me fight side by side with you this time, even if I die, I don't want to leave a regret. ”
