He suddenly heard a faint noise outside the main hall. When he looked back, he only saw Qin Banxia, the little lady in Qin Lang, quietly lying in front of the window lattice and looking inward, he remembered that he was not wearing clothes on his upper body, so he hurriedly picked up his shirt and draped it on his body.

Qin Banxia saw through the fact that he was secretly looking inward by Wang Deng, let out a soft exclamation, turned around and fled towards the outside of the Wu Temple.

I only heard Wang Deng shouting behind him: "I have something to tell you!" ”

Banxia stood on his feet, covered his face with the sleeves of his robe, and was shy and speechless.

Wang Deng rushed out of the main hall in three steps and two steps, and came to Banxia: "There are hundreds of thousands of enemy cavalry hoarded outside the city now, and I may not be able to come back alive this time." ”

He stretched out his hand and pulled out Banxia's little hand: "Some things are too late if you don't say anything." ”

He took out a jade statue of Guanyin from his bag and handed it to Banxia's hand: "This Guanyin is handed down from my family, it is said that it is the treasure that the Buddha Yin Zen Master gave to my ancestors when he was in Hangzhou, and it has always been placed on the body of the female dependents in the family, my mother died early, and I was the only one who stayed with me, and today in front of the sages, I will hand over this Guanyin to you."

He said softly: "No matter whether I live or die in this outing, you are my man, and when I defeat the Mongols, I will let people go to your father to ask for a job." ”

Banxia's face was like a blooming rose, but anxious tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Can't you not go?" You're a general, you don't have to go into battle yourself."

Wang Deng smiled softly, and he gently stroked Banxia's black hair: "There will never be an enemy who can get close to you by half an inch, and there will never be an enemy who can cross the city wall of Xiangyang, because I will be outside and defeat them all." ”

At this moment, he would rather have immortal magic to condense time forever, and no longer have ambitions, and kill with a halberd.

But someone is destined to make trouble with him.

"When have you been doing these men and women?" In my ears was Yang Luo's anxious voice: "Wait until you go out of the city first to kill the Tartars, and then come to spend the moon before the moon!" ”

Wang Deng pushed Banxia away with a wry smile, turned around and came to the front of the main hall to put on his armor, and two soldiers on his back hurried over to serve him and put on his armor.

Wang Deng asked while wearing the ribbon on his iron armor, "Whose banner has appeared outside the city?" ”

"The teams that landed in the north of the city were all under the banner of the province of Xingzhongshu to glue the heavy mountains, and the banner of the enemy army in the east of the city was written as ten thousand households were off.

At the foot of the mountain in the south of the city, there is a banner of ten thousand households in the valley and leaving the flag. West of the city"

Yang Luo paused, frowned and said: "The west of the city is where Quchu's main formation is located, the middle army is King Tasi, the left wing is the mouth is not warm, and the right wing is Tuxue. The striker is Wanhu copying. Here is undoubtedly the direction of the enemy's main forces. ”

Wang Deng also frowned: "What about the Han soldiers?" ”

"The three thousand households of the Han army are crossing the river," Yang Yu said: "Look at the banner, the first to cross the river should be Shi Tianze's troops." ”

"Very good," Wang Deng said, "taking advantage of the fact that their forces are not fully assembled, they just went out to fight them by surprise." ”

Yang Luo said: "The enemy estimated that the enemy would deploy his forces between the west of Xiangyang City and Tanxi, and the purpose was to deliberately lure our army out of the city with unfavorable terrain and annihilate it in the field. Last year, Yu Zhe was surrounded by Mongolian cavalry in the west of the city, and thousands of men and horses were lost. After you get out of the city, the enemy army will do everything possible to lure you out of the cover of the city wall and move towards the open area, and then use cavalry to encircle and annihilate on all sides, you don't have to rush to attack immediately after you get out of the city, as long as you take every step of the camp, steady and steady, the enemy will not be able to bear to take the initiative to attack you, as long as you can continuously thwart their attacks, our goal of weakening morale has been achieved. ”

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly," Wang Deng picked up the waist knife on the ground: "Everything must be decided according to the battle situation at that time, let's go!" As he spoke, he strode towards the outside of the hall, and Yang Luo grabbed his arm: "Listen, our goal is to kill the Mongols, not to sacrifice our lives for the country, don't listen to Zheng Yunming's nonsense on weekdays and listen to yourself too much, in the future, without the name of your Wang Deng, I will be bored alone." ”

Wang Deng snorted: "Don't daydream, the one who can survive this winter is a good man." ”

When the two came to the West City Gate, the Zhenwu Army had already completed the whole team, and the soldiers who had been carefully trained by Wang Deng since the beginning of the year were the ones who were clearly dressed under the banners. In front of the battle, there are drums, war drums, and gongs. Zheng Yunming, who was dressed in silver armor, was waiting for their arrival with the main members of the Deputy Capital Division.

He saw Wang Deng coming over in full armor, stepped forward and grabbed Wang Deng's arm, and shouted loudly towards the army: "The Hu people are here, thinking that Xiangyang is determined to win." They would never have imagined that there was such a brave army in Xiangyang City that dared to go out of the city to confront them head-on! The first formation will be handed over to your Zhenwu army to fight, just fight with your heart, let go of a fight, play the majesty and momentum of our army, your fighting, I have a full view of every cent of the city, there are those who are cowardly and do not advance, correct the law on the spot, there are those who do not listen to the order, not to mention killing, there are those who capture the enemy's generals, and the reward is ten thousand! ”

He shouted: "Those who dare to fight live, and those who fear death die!" ”

Zhenwu Jun responded in unison: "Those who dare to fight live, and those who fear death die!" ”

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was chanting, Zheng Yunming pulled Wang Deng closer and ordered: "This is the first battle of our army, you must be cautious, as long as you fight with the Mongols for three rounds, no, five rounds, you will complete your mission in five rounds, allow you to retreat, and everyone will hold the city." ”

Wang Deng said yes, Zheng Yunming stepped back sideways, leaving the last stage for the two commanders of the Zhenwu Army.

Wang Deng gave up his hand to ask Ge Huai to speak, Ge Huai was shy, and shouted: "Tell me about birds!" I look at you shrunken birds, all of them are trembling like cats, and to be honest, do you see that there are many Mongolians and are afraid? ”

There was immediately a burst of protest in the army: "Don't talk nonsense, we are not afraid!" ”

Ge Huai shook his beard and said slowly: "If you are afraid, you will say that you are afraid, if you are afraid, Lao Ge can still kill you?" To be honest, it's not just you who are afraid, but Lao Ge is also afraid. ”

Everyone knew that he liked to tell a joke, and they all laughed at this time.

"What are you laughing at!" Ge Huai deliberately put on a serious look: "Do you think that Lao Ge's belly is all straw bales, and he has no stomach, and he is not afraid to look at so many fierce and vicious Tartars outside the city?" It's people who are afraid! But what can be done with fear? Which of you is still going to surrender the Tartars? Do you surrender one to try? Do you look at the little official behind us who looks kind? He kills people without blinking, I tell you! If one person dares to surrender and kill one, if a thousand people want to escape, he will kill a thousand, and you six thousand people are not a matter in his eyes! Many of you are veterans who came out of the army last year, and they have all told you the origin of the officials, for him to kill a few people who defected in battle, the emperor Lao Er in Lin'an is very happy! That's why I'm telling you, if you want to escape or surrender, you can't go by nowhere! ”

"I can't run and I can't surrender, it's not just waiting for death!" Wang Deng laughed loudly after Ge Huai.

Ge Huai glared at him and raised his voice a little: "Now I want you to lower your heads and look at your hands!" ”

The soldiers did not understand what he meant, and they all raised their hands and watched.

"Spearmen, are the old wounds on the tiger's mouth still there? How thick are the calluses of the sword and shield soldier holding the shield and the handle of the knife? Archers! How many lacerations are there in the fingers that have been strangled by the bowstring? Firecrackers! Look at your hands blackened by gunpowder! ”

He shouted loudly, almost roaring, "These are the best proof that you can defeat the Mongols!" ”

"Lao Ge, I followed General Bi Zaiyu into the army at the age of thirteen! The size has also followed more than a dozen generals and fought for decades! I can tell you without exaggeration that last year, you and the entire Zhenwu Army were the most rigorous in the entire Great Song Dynasty! Think about it, how many times you have been slumped on the side of the road by the demon-like Wang Jingsong, and think about how many times you can't stand Wang Jingsong's harsh training and secretly cry in the middle of the night! Think about how many times you have practiced boring moves over and over again under the wind and rain and the big sun! Today is the report of your hellish life this year! You are the strongest soldiers in the entire Great Song Dynasty! Open the gates! The whole army is exhausted, so that those Hu people who have won all battles can see what a real strong enemy is! I'm Zhenwu! I'm Wu Weiyang! "I'm Wu Weiyang!" There was a warm echo in the ranks.

Ge Huai took a step forward, and his voice was like thunder: "I am Wu Weiyang!" ”

This time, the response was more thunderous: "I'm Wu Weiyang!! ”

Ge Huai took a deep breath and shouted with all the strength of his body: "I'm Wu Weiyang! ”

He was greeted by the cry of 5,000 people who shook the heavens and the earth: "I am Wu Weiyang! ”

Such a loud roar can be heard clearly by the Mongol army deployed in the distance.

Wang Deng pulled out his waist knife, the snow-bright blade shone terrifyingly in the sun, and he shouted: "Out of battle!" ”

The west gate slowly opened in a creaking turn, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the road ahead to the first powerful enemy in the world was opened. The drummers beat the advancing drums, and the 5,000 Zhenwu troops lined up in a column, and under the guidance of the Gezi and Wangzi generals held high in the front, they slowly opened out of the west gate and launched a formation in front of the city tower.

Wang Deng and Ge Huai rode war horses and followed closely behind the trapped army, and behind them was Zheng Yunming's anxious call: "Remember, you only need to fight for five rounds!" Five rounds! ”

But no one is sure they will make it to five rounds!
