Six or seven hundred people, pulling a few carts of grain and grass and two cannons, were already slow, plus General Lin deliberately delayed time, stopped and stopped along the way, marched for half a day and practiced for half a day, and the days were very leisurely.

Du Xiuyuan and Hu Bugui worked hard to train these hundreds of soldiers into elite soldiers, the two of them had some different meanings, and after practicing the individual soldier training formation, no one would be left behind, and the so-called last elimination system was implemented very strictly by them. On the first day, sure enough, eighty percent of the soldiers did not eat dinner, and on the second day, everyone's enthusiasm for training was obviously high, and on the third day, they were even better.

Lin Wanrong thought about it, Lao Tzu trained not to kill the enemy, but for the enemy to come up, I can't fight and escape. handed over this person to Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan, and he was very happy.

This way stops and stops, passing through Fengyang, Suzhou Tanbei and other places, and it took five days to arrive in Xuzhou. When he arrived in Xuzhou, he learned that Xu Wei had already set off last night and went to Feng County, and in desperation, Lin Wanrong had no choice but to lead the men and horses to continue to move forward and carry out a sightseeing trip.

"Since yesterday, the cavalry battalions in Zhejiang and Shandong led by Lord Xu have been encircled from Yuncheng, Ningyang, and Surabaya in the north, and Dingtao, Tengzhou, and Shanting in the south. Lord Xu just sent the latest general order, and our group will rush to Feng County tomorrow to meet him in the camp. ”

Hu Bugui pointed at the rudimentary combat map and said in detail. He was born in the field. He was very familiar with this topographical map, so he explained the current situation to Lin Wanrong, Li Sheng, and Du Xiuyuan.

The three battalions led by Lin Wanrong are now in Pei County, and they are only a few dozen miles away from Feng County, where the Xu Wei Front Army is located. He wasn't interested in the study of maps. listened to Hu Bugui's explanation, but he kept yawning.

Du Xiuyuan said: "We are only fifty or sixty miles away from Marshal Xu's tent, and we will march to the camp early tomorrow morning, and hand over the grain and grass cannons to Lord Xu, and our task will be completed." ”

Hu Bugui said: "Look at the current situation, the army only approached yesterday, but those White Lotus Sects didn't even have time to resist, and when our grain and grass are delivered tomorrow, Xu Dashuai is afraid that he has already arrived in Jining." Wiped out the white lotus nest. My son-in-law has been practicing hard for the past few days, but he hasn't had time to go to the battlefield to practice, which is really boring. ”

Lin Wanrong patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder. smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I can understand your mood." But fighting is to kill people, these are our own brothers, I feel sorry for anyone who hurts, and it is better to be safe and sound like this. It's better that this battle will never be fought on our heads. Everyone went back for the New Year. ”

Although General Lin did things quickly, he didn't have any ambition in these few words, and Hu Bugui shook his head helplessly. I looked down on him in my heart.

"The three eldest brothers, instruct to go down, set up camp here today, according to the formation of Brother Du Xiuyuan's daily drills, and at the same time strengthen the guards, especially outside the generals' camp, they should strengthen patrols, after all, this is already a war zone, and they are always prepared. In case something happens, the safety of the generals is the top priority. Ah, haha, that's it. Lin Wanrong is a serious way.

Just say that you are afraid of death, where are there so many excuses, Hu Bugui snorted disdainfully, and a little contempt flashed in his eyes. However, Du Xiuyuan deeply agreed: "General Lin's words are extremely true, this place is already the place where the White Lotus is entrenched, and it is close to the shore of Weishan Lake, those White Lotus bandits are familiar with the terrain, if they use the night to carry out a sneak attack, they will not be able to prevent it." ”

This Du Xiuyuan figured out his intentions, there is a lot to do, Hu Bugui has an upright personality, he was demoted from a thousand households to a hundred households, and his temperament was not much more. However, people with ability have character, such as me, Lin Wanrong smiled, and took the people to settle down safely.

Pei County is close to Weishan Lake, it is evening at this time, the sun sets, a little golden afterglow sprinkled on the surface of the lake, the lake water is lightly rippling, the golden light is shining, very beautiful.

Is this Weishan Lake, sure enough, the lake and mountains are beautiful and abnormal, standing by the lake, the gust of wind is blowing, Lin Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered the popular old song, and opened his throat and sang: "Weishan Lake, alas, the golden light is shining, and the white clouds are like clouds floating."

He had only sung a few words when there was a burst of laughter, but it was the soldiers who were practicing who heard his strange tone and laughed out loud at him.

General Lin stresses righteousness, does not put on a show, treats his brothers sincerely, eats and lives with the army every day, and does not open a small stove, and has already had a reputation for loving soldiers like children. Although the last elimination system is a little perverted, through the training in recent days, every soldier can feel that he has made progress, which has aroused their enthusiasm for training, and there is not much resistance to this elimination system.

"Laugh, laugh fart, whoever has the ability to sing a song I'll listen. I guess you guys, so you can go to the kiln and sing eighteen touches. Lin Wanrong said with a **.

Listening to the general joking with himself, the soldiers over there shouted even more, and the atmosphere was extremely warm for a while. Lin Wanrong had already adopted Hu Buguidi's suggestion to mix the soldiers from Zhejiang and Shandong according to the ratio of one to one, and the effect was extremely outstanding.

Lin Wanrong saw that he was directing the training, but it was the young soldier who stopped him when he was patrolling the camp that day and night, so he smiled and said, "Your name is Xu Zhen, yes or no?" ”

"General, the villain is Xu Zhen." Although Xu Zhen is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old baby soldier, he is already a general banner, and he can lead a group of men who are much older than him to train soldiers, so he must have some ability.

Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Xu Zhen, you have such ability at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future." You took everyone to practice well, and if you practiced well, General Ben recommended to Generalissimo Xu that you should lead 100 households and 1,000 households. ”

Xu Zhen saw that this young general had a broad mind. Kind to others, very hearty

He was very excited, and said loudly: "General Xie's cultivation grace." ”

Lin Wanrong nodded with satisfaction and said in her heart. Going to the battlefield to fight is not Lao Tzu's strength, but cultivating a few talents is not easy to capture. The three hundred households under him are all talented people, and this Xu Zhen is also a hidden dragon, so he must recommend it to Xu Wei.

Chief Gao followed behind Lin Wanrong, and when he saw him with a smug look on his face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Lin, it seems that your interest today is very good." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Brother Gao, the scenery of this Weishan Lake is wonderful, why don't we row a small boat to take a look." The high chief was very interested when he saw him. He didn't stop him, so he found a small boat nearby. Hu Bugui saw that the two of them were about to go to the lake, and hurriedly said, "General Lin." It's getting late now, and I'm afraid it's not too green in this Weishan Lake, and if there are thieves lurking, it will be troublesome. ”

Lin Wanrong said with a righteous face: "Brother Hu, you misunderstood. I went to the lake this time to investigate the place where the thieves had gone. I doubt??" He rolled his eyes and said mysteriously, "There are thieves hidden in this lake??"

Hu Bugui listened to his nonsense, and said with some disdain: "General Lin." You don't know. Now that the cold winter has arrived, if these thieves hide in Weishan Lake, it will definitely be a dead end. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

"General, please see??" Hu Bugui pointed to the dense reeds in the lake in the distance with his big hand, and said loudly: "The last general was born on the edge of Weishan Lake, and he is very familiar with this terrain. Weishan Lake stretches for dozens of miles, and the reeds are luxuriant, which is conducive to hiding, which is true. But it was winter at this time, and the reeds had withered, and if they really hid in the Weishan Lake, as long as I ignited the reeds, then they would have no place to hide. Even if the fire can't wipe it all out, as long as our army is strong and clear, within a month, the snow falls, and the thieves hiding in the lake will be hungry and have no food, cold and clothing, and they will not survive this winter without a large army to clear them. Therefore, the last general thinks that they will never be stupid enough to kill themselves. "Hu Bugui's words seem to make a lot of sense.

I want to row a boat and have a fun day, and this old Hu also came for so many reasons, Lin Wanrong said with a straight face: "Brother Hu's words are reasonable. But you are using common sense, this White Lotus thief is cunning and treacherous, maybe he is about to take advantage of Brother Hu's idea, fast in and out of this lake, and catch us off guard, then maybe. ”

Hu Bugui hesitated, General Lin's words seemed to make some sense, he nodded and said, "Then the general will go with the general." ”

Lin Wanrong saw that he was resolute and couldn't refuse, so he smiled and nodded, and the three of them got on the boat and headed into the distance. Although Hu Bugui was born reckless, he had a good water nature, and he rowed the boat very steadily. Although Chief Gao is strong in martial arts, he is a landlubber and can only stand closely beside Lin Wanrong.

In the distance of the lake, the water and sky are the same color, and the slanting sun has set, reflecting the lake water in a pool of blood red. A little breeze blows, and the reeds flutter gently in the wind, making a soft rustling sound, like a baby's whimper. A few late-returning waterfowl fluttered their wings and landed in the deep reeds and disappeared in an instant. There was no one on the lake except the boat they were in, and the slurry slapped on the water, and the sound of crackling seemed to come from infinity. In the lonely glow, Weishan Lake is as quiet and stable as a shy virgin.

Lin Wanrong stretched her waist lazily, she was already tired after many days of marching, and she was only relaxed when she was boating on the lake today. Seeing Chief Gao looking around, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Gao, what do you want to do the most in this situation?" ”

"Drink, **!" Gao Chieftain replied without thinking. Hu Bugui, who was rowing, laughed out loud: "Gao Zhuangshi is really a reckless person." ”

I can't think of something noble with such a beautiful view, you two rough people? It's good to take a mandarin duck bath, what kind of prostitute are you? Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, Lao Tzu is really much more civilized than these two kids.

It was getting dark, and the three of them rowed the boat far away, and when they approached a reed, Hu Bugui really searched around carefully, and the surroundings were extremely empty and quiet, and there was not even a shadow of a bird. He listened carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "General Lin, there is no one in this reed. ”

Damn, of course I know that there is no one, Lao Tzu originally came out to see the scenery, not to see people. He shook his head and was about to speak. Suddenly, there was a soft sound in my ears. This sound seems to be very far away, but Lin Wanrong's kung fu is good, and her ear power is especially strong, although this time it is far away. But he heard it clearly, clearly.

"Brother Gao, did you hear any voice?" Lin Wanrong asked at Chief Gao.

Chief Gao nodded and said, "It seems to be the sound of scratching, and there is some distance between us." ”

The three of them looked around, and there was no sign of any boat, but the sound of the pulp was getting clearer and louder, not like a pulp, but like thousands of small pulps slapping on the surface of the water together.

In the distance, several long-rested waterfowl flew up from the reeds, fluttering their wings with a soft rattle. "Look!" Hu Bugui shouted.

Lin Wanrong looked in the direction of his finger. I saw that in the reeds hundreds of zhang away in the distance, countless small boats suddenly poured out, and dozens of people stood on each small boat. Holding a steel knife, murderous. Lin Wanrong swept it roughly, there are probably as many as 100 of these small boats, and there are more than 1,000 people in the small boat.

"Brother Hu, let's clean it up this time. Did Mr. Xu bring a water army? Lin Wanrong asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, yes, but they are all big ships, not only on this scale. These people look like??" His eyes widened. Suddenly woke up and said, "White Lotus Sect, this is the White Lotus Sect!" ”

Damn, your old boy is the queen mother, Lin Wanrong swallowed hard.

"Brother Lin, what should we do?" Chief Gao hurriedly said.

"Run!" General Lin's answer was neat: "Brother Hu, what are you still doing in a daze, row quickly." ”

Hu Bugui also came to his senses, turned around and paddled back with a double pulp in his hand, but laughed and said: "General Lin is clever." This White Lotus Sect really set up an ambush in the lake, and the last general was very impressed. "He was

The more he laughed, the happier he became, he glanced back, and spat excitedly into the lake: "***, I was worried that I couldn't find this group of rabbit cubs, but I didn't expect them to be sent to the door, my son-in-law finally came in handy, today, I will wipe them out." ”

You damn it, Lin Wanrong finally couldn't hold back anymore, and kicked him **: "If you delay any longer, don't say that you will annihilate them, we will be ** by them." ”

Hu Bugui was proud, admired Lin Wanrong's "foresight", laughed indifferently, strengthened his hands, and rushed to the shore like an arrow in a small boat.

Lin Wanrong looked back and saw that the hundreds of small boats were also reinforcing and were rushing towards them quickly.

Damn, he patted his head in annoyance, Lao Tzu went to the lake to play just casually, how did you know that the White Lotus Sect was really recruited, and a thousand people came at once, isn't this my life?

The three of them rowed the boat ashore, and Lin Wanrong rushed to the front and yelled: "Du Xiuyuan, form a formation and prepare for battle." Li Sheng, drop the muzzle, aim at the lake, and prepare to shoot??"

"Rush??" The small boat of the White Lotus Army behind them suddenly erupted into a terrifying roar, hundreds of small boats charged forward together, Lin Wanrong and the three of them had just come ashore, and when they looked back, they saw that the heads of people in the distance were black and pressing, rushing straight to the shore.

Du Xiuyuan ran panting, and hundreds of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion hurriedly lined up in formation, holding bows and arrows and aiming at the lake.

"General Lin, where did this enemy come from? There are so many of them! Du Xiuyuan asked anxiously.

Lin Wanrong's face was pale, damn, this is a crack in the stone, if it weren't for Lao Tzu coming to make a commotion today, I wouldn't know if I was really poked.

"General Lin is clever, this enemy attack has long been in his calculations." Hu Bugui really admires General Lin, it seems to be careless, but in fact, it is mysterious. He waved his big hand and said, "Sons, prepare the knives and guns??"

At the critical moment, the hard training of these days played a role, and the soldiers stood in formation according to the practice in the blue sun, staring nervously at the lake.

Damn, they are all recruits, Lin Wanrong looked at the six or seven hundred men and horses under him, most of them were newly recruited young soldiers, and their faces were still a little naïve, although they were in a strict formation, they still couldn't help but shoot a trace of fear in their eyes.

"Brother Du, did you send someone for help?" Lin Wanrong said loudly.

"General Yu, as soon as he found out that the enemy was coming, his subordinates had already sent a fast horse to ask for help from Xu Dashuai who was sixty miles away." Du Xiuyuan hurriedly replied.

Lin Wanrong nodded, this Du Xiuyuan is doing things safely, which is very reassuring.

Hu Bugui glanced at the rushing White Lotus Army, and said with a serious face: "General Lin." This White Lotus Army has a neat lineup, it is by no means a rabble, it seems to be their elite. ”

"Elite?" Lin Wanrong almost fainted, and Lao Tzu just commanded hundreds of remnants. Transported some hay, what are you elites looking for me, there is a kind of you looking for Lao Xu, you mother, what kind of heroes are bullying us recruits.

"Brother Gao, what is the crime of escaping?" Lin Wanrong asked quietly.

"Kill it!" Chief Gao whispered.

Who is so inhumane in the rules of the land in my day, is there any heavenly reason? Regardless of his fart, if he can't win, Lao Tzu will definitely lead his brothers to flee for their lives.

"General Lin. We are just remnants of the war horses, grain and grass, and the number is small, how could this elite of the White Lotus Army find us. And it seems to have been lurking for quite some time??" Du Xiuyuan frowned and asked, he didn't panic when things happened, he made good use of the formation, but he was a talented military advisor.

Lin Wanrong was staring at Li Sheng adjusting the angle of the cannon, and when she heard this, she didn't think about it: "How do I know??" Halfway through the conversation. He suddenly remembered something, and his face changed: "Divine machine cannon, they want to grab the divine machine cannon??"

Du Xiuyuan was taken aback. Raised Ran woke up: "This place is on the edge of the lake, and they happened to be transported away with the ship after they seized the cannon??"

"I'm afraid it's not so simple to transport it away??" Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "This place is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xu Shuai's camp, if they go the opposite way and bombard that Shuai camp??"

"Their target is Xu Dashuai??" Chief Gao, Du Xiuyuan, and Hu Bugui, who were beside Lin Wanrong, jumped up in shock, this is an extremely bold inference, and only a person with extreme talent like General Lin can make such a bold statement. But when you think about it, it makes sense.

Hu Bugui originally looked down on this young general with a hippie smile, but listened to his words. Every sentence is said to be an idea that others can't see, and this General Lin's ability is by no means blown out. He respectfully hugged his fists and said sincerely: "General Lin, I don't want to be convinced by you, and Hu Mouwei obeys General Hu's orders." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed and helped him up, and said loudly in front of the soldiers: "Brothers, don't panic, this is a ploy arranged by Xu Dashuai, deliberately inducing the White Lotus Army to be deceived, Xu Dashuai personally led tens of thousands of horses and horses, and the enemy has been surrounded, and they will be completely annihilated after half an hour." We just need to hold on for half an hour!! My Shenji battalion has prepared several ** guns and thousands of shells, so I want them to taste the power of the Shenji cannon. Li Sheng??"

Seeing that the White Lotus Army had entered the firing range of the artillery ground, Lin Wanrong shouted: "Fire??"

Li Sheng had already adjusted the angle of the two cannons, heard General Lin's shout, and ignited the two fuses at the same time, and the cannonballs rose into the sky, with a little whistling, and the two small boats in the middle of the march were in the middle. In the loud noise, the wooden boat was shattered, and the souls of more than 20 White Lotus troops were scattered.

"Well played!" Li Sheng's shot greatly boosted the morale of everyone, and the soldiers of the three battalions cheered together, and the panic against the enemy had long since disappeared.

Li Sheng fired several cannons one after another, and the cannons did not miss, destroying more than a dozen small boats of the White Lotus Army in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, more than 100 rockets of the Shenji Battalion fired a salvo, and dozens of White Lotus bandits fell into the water. The soldiers of the third battalion saw the enthusiasm and punishment, and they couldn't wait to immediately put on the battle and fight with the enemy.

"Brothers, the time has come to make a difference. As long as you hold on for half an hour, you are

Hundreds, thousands, and thousands of households, you will have countless fiefdom beauties, what are you waiting for, rush with me??" Lin Wanrong shouted loudly.

General Lin's agitation method is naked and effective, most of the soldiers are fifteen or sixteen years old, it is the blood and qi Fanggang, where can they stand such instigation, the blood of the beast is already boiling, seeing that General Lin is holding a short weapon with two barrels in his hand, heroically and bravely rushing to the front, and he is greatly encouraged at the moment, like a group of tigers coming down the mountain, rushing towards the enemy.

"General Lin, you are the head of an army, and you can't easily charge into battle." Hu Buguimeng ran a few steps, caught up with Lin Wanrong, and grabbed his sleeve tightly.

Damn, you kid has finally caught up, or Lao Tzu will have to rush hard.

"Let go of me, let go of me." Lin Wanrong took a few steps back, but her face was impassioned: "My brothers need me, the country needs me, and Dahua needs me?"

"Good man??" Hu Bugui burst into tears, pushed him back a few steps, and waved his hand: "Brothers, rush with me??" His burly and majestic body swooped out like a mountain.
