Cui Ling told him about the battle with Zhao Yilang, and also said that he let Zhao Yu go. Lu Yi finished giving Cui Ling the medicine, sighed and said, "Cui Ling, Cui Ling, you are confused." Aren't you letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and once you kill Zhao Yilang, the ninja army will definitely re-elect the suzerain, and when the time comes, all forces and factions will have to try their best to fight for power, and it will be chaos, where will there be time to deal with us? Besides, the problem you found last time when you went to negotiate, I think it is also, it is not that the ninja army Xu Xu Tuzhi wants to share a share of the benefits through the hands of the Zhao family, that is, they are the overseers and helpers sent by the masterminds behind the scenes. And the high-ranking Zhao family is just a puppet, and this and probably because the original main force of their subordinates is either pirates or pirates. If this is the case, what Zhao Yilang has done can be said to be very in place, and after the new sect master comes to power, it is unknown whether he can be as good as Zhao Yilang did, and whether he can live in harmony with the Zhao family, which increases the variables for us and increases the chances of winning. In addition, even if the cooperation is good, there will be a run-in period at the beginning, and we can make a big fuss during this period. The good chance to defeat the enemy by strategy alone was given up by you, brother. ”

"Then what do you say you can do, if Zhao Yu is in front of you, are you willing to kill her?" Cui Ling asked.

Lu Yi smiled and didn't answer, but Cui Ling clearly saw a positive answer in Lu Yi's eyes, which made Cui Ling shudder a little. Lu Yi saw Cui Ling's discomfort and said, "But Zhao Yu actually said that Zhao Yilang was his father, but you said last time that Zhao Yilang was a widow." The surname Zhao, what's going on? Zhao Yu said that he would give you an answer, then he would definitely be. I still believe in Zhao Hui. ”

Cui Ling nodded and said with a smile: "The biggest advantage of people is curiosity, curiosity is the desire for knowledge, and only then can you increase your knowledge and improve, but the biggest disadvantage is also curiosity, and if you are curious, you may ignore it." You see that the war is coming, but the two of us are concerned about Zhao Hui's family affairs. But in real terms, this may be another line. Let's wait and see, if we can learn more about the enemy through Guò Zhao Hui. Zhao Yun won't elaborate, but we can analyze it. ”

"Excuse me, you don't talk about the phone. Otherwise, the wound will collapse again, and when the time comes, it will be Da Luo Jinxian who prescribes you a panacea, and you will probably have to leave a scar. It's sad enough now, and I don't know if it will be as good as ever after applying the ointment. Lu Yi said, and was about to turn around and go to the city to supervise the battle. Because he had a hunch. The attack was about to start, and he wanted to see the Zhao family's ability, and also to see if his inference was correct or not.

Lu Yi motioned for Cui Ling to take a break in the big tent, after all, the duel between the two masters consumed too much of Cui Ling's physical strength and breath, if Cui Ling was allowed to go again, even if he could still exert his might, his vitality would be greatly damaged, then the gain would outweigh the loss, now regardless of whether Cui Ling is on it or not. The battle is decided, unless a miracle strikes from above. Even though tonight's real battle has not yet begun. But Lu Yi has this confidence in his own judgment.

Cui Ling responded but said nonchalantly: "Even if my face is not ruined, it is not as popular as you are the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law." So it doesn't matter if your face is ruined or not, it's a big deal to bring a mask, it should be quite cold, hehe, maybe you can hook up a few when the time comes. By the way, Lu Yi, since it was Zhao Yilang who came to intercept me, then the one who came to assassinate you must not be a mortal. Why are you unharmed, except for a little blood on your body, there are no traces of a fight at all. Could it be that you have concealed it before, and your martial arts are so high. Some time ago, I fought with the Japanese coward called the Red Clown in the Zhao family's camp, and I think that if the three of them come to fight the enemy with me, I am afraid that I will not be as unscathed and calm as you are now. ”

"Huh." Lu Yi smiled and was about to go out.

"Don't just laugh, who are these three people?" Cui Ling asked.

Lu Yi asked rhetorically, "You really want to know?" ”

Cui Ling didn't react for a while and replied, "Of course, I don't want to know why I asked you?" ”

"They were my biological father and half-brother, who came to persuade me, and if they didn't want to assassinate, they were killed by me." Lu Yi said lightly, as if these people had no blood relationship with him. After speaking, he opened the big tent and left here, but Cui Ling was stunned there, carefully looking at the two heads and the whole corpse lying on the ground, they turned out to be Jiang Bin's father and son, and Jiang Bin's biological son Jiang Ran, who is Lu Yi, actually understood their lives with his own hands, and he was so calm, and there was no fluctuation in his mentality.

Cui Ling walked to the door of the big tent and opened the curtain, the wind at night was a little cool. Cui Ling looked at Lu Yi who was walking towards the city wall, and felt that this person's back was so indifferent and strange, could this be the only way for a successful person, is this person really still my brother Lu Yi?

—————————————————————————————————————

On the same night, Meng Xueqing felt exhausted. Because today's battle lasted for three hours. Chen Hong is worthy of being the factory supervisor of the East Factory of the Ministry of Intelligence, and he has a keen ability to judge things, and he saw Meng Xueqing's suspicious plan to pretend to have many soldiers. Even though Meng Xueqing was dressed very similarly, he still firmly chose to believe in his prediction and launched a wheel war against this group of reserve troops of the Lu family's army.

With 10,000 people as a unit, they attacked the Lu family army in turn like a tide. At the beginning, Lu Jiajun was very disciplined in fighting with the enemy, but later he slowly slackened. After an hour, they began to feel a little tired, and two hours later, the Lu Jiajun completely fell into mechanical mode, and the soldiers were numb. The enemy, like locusts, pounced on them, then they were beaten down, and then they pounced on them again. If it weren't for the fact that this was the place where the Lu family made their fortune, there were many spare ordnance here, and a large area was covered and suppressed by artillery fire, I was afraid that it would not last an hour.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court lost more than 8,000 people on this day alone, all of them died on the way to charge and fight, the former servants and successors were very heroic, the power of the imperial conquest was really extraordinary, the soldiers were all in high spirits, bravely killed the enemy and swore allegiance to the emperor, and the heart of meritorious service was unprecedented. And in the face of such wheel warfare and although the equipment is slightly backward. But the equally heroic soldiers and horses of the imperial court, tired Meng Xueqing was afraid that if she held out for another hour, the Lu family's army would collapse without a fight. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are not so numerous, and they have an advantage of dozens of times. So it didn't last so long. Even so, after two hours, the casualty rate of the Lu Jiajun, who had been tired and impatient, increased geometrically, and after the collection of troops, Meng Xueqing counted the number of people and found that more than 2,000 people were killed, and countless people were wounded.

The problem that Meng Xueqing was worried about appeared, the reserve army of the Lu family army had not fought a war, but the disadvantages of a group of soldiers trained in the school field appeared. An atmosphere of unease spread through the barracks. Everyone was a little desperate, feeling that they were alone, and suddenly despair, anger, chagrin, and fear filled the hearts of many soldiers.

Hearts for hearts. The Lu family's previous efforts were not in vain, although the soldiers were preoccupied, they did not stir up, causing more trouble for Meng Xueqing. Because everyone knows that this is the housewife of the Lu family. And the Lu family is kind to the imperial court. In addition, this is quite a bit of a loss, a loss, and a glory. Everyone knows what their identity means for Da Ming now, and the thief is going to kill the nine clans without mercy. And what kind of court is a court, everyone knows it, compared with the more than ten years of hard work that they have lived under the jurisdiction of the Lu family, where can the people outside Shandong live.

If once the Lu family army is defeated and retreats, the imperial court soldiers and horses will be stationed in Shandong, I am afraid that it will not only be to hunt down the thieves and start a killing ring. Killing all the people related to the Lu family will bring life back to the past. Live that life of poverty. The old Zhu family has always been like this, where there is wealth, the tax is heavy, and where the people are nostalgic for the old country, it will be more strict.

Therefore, after the troops were collected, Meng Xueqing received a military report, claiming that the people had naturally organized more than 30,000 people and were ready to go to the battlefield to help Meng Xueqing. Meng Xueqing smiled bitterly, although she was moved by the people of Shandong to repay her kindness, she also understood that it was difficult for ordinary people who had not received training to confront the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. They are also more likely to cause riots and negative emotions on the battlefield, which leads their soldiers to have problems of one kind or another. Moreover, even if they are defeated by the imperial court's soldiers and horses, these untrained civilians are very likely to stampede when they retreat, lose their own troops, and discard their equipment for the imperial court, which is really inappropriate.

Therefore, Meng Xueqing personally met with several organizers of the volunteers, expressed their gratitude and let them enter Dezhou City, said that they would do a good job in defense work, etc., and sent more than 30 Qilu Academy soldiers to guide them in city defense work. Sending them away, Meng Xueqing fell into deep thought again, in just one day's work, her hair was many roots white. Today, it seems that the Lu Jiajun has successfully defended, but in fact, this casualty ratio and the court's redemption rate are far lower than the standard of the Lu Jiajun, and I am afraid that if we continue to fight like this, there should be no soldiers available. Even if he won the victory in the end, according to the intelligence, Yu Dayou was about to approach Shandong, although there were Qi Shuhai and his son Lu Xun there, but after all, the number was too small, no matter how smart they were, it was impossible to conjure up a sergeant who could go into battle to kill the enemy out of thin air. Therefore, if you don't come back to help, I am afraid that Shandong will be broken from the southern front, and there will be no point in fighting against the imperial court at this time.

Meng Xueqing made up her mind to fight for another day tomorrow, and then retreat to Texas City. Just now, all the 30,000 volunteers entered Dezhou City, because it is on the boundary of Shandong, so there are hidden granaries everywhere, so there is no need to worry about rations. These 30,000 men may not be able to face the fortifications in person, but with the strength of the city walls, it should not be a problem to load firearms and then shoot blindly. It's just that the well-trained 20,000 reserve soldiers are struggling to fight, and these 30,000 ordinary people who have never seen blood are good at commanding, and Meng Xueqing has no bottom in her heart.

She wanted to fight for another day, and then retreat to Texas City to defend to the death. If the army is attacking the city, then rely on the city wall to block the enemy, if Chen Hong bypasses Dezhou and directly takes the important place of Dengzhou Capital, then he can turn to attack and harass and contain from behind the march. The number of soldiers under Chen Hong is higher than that of the Lu family, but it is not so much that it is not exhausted, and he is afraid and does not dare to make a plan to divide the troops. If he makes a stupid move to divide the troops, he will definitely be defeated, and Chen Hong will not be so confused.

On the second day, the battle was still arduous, and the casualty rate of the Shandong Reserve Army of the Lu Jiajun Army rose again. And the soldiers and horses of the imperial court seemed to see hope, and the more they attacked, the more brave they became. Just when Meng Xueqing was about to give an order to evacuate the battlefield and enter Dezhou City to defend to the death, she saw the dust billowing in the distance as if the army had been killed.

Meng Xueqing was shocked, she didn't know if she was an enemy or a friend, she immediately sent a scout to investigate, and after a while, the scout came back, her face was full of excitement, she knelt on one knee with her fists clenched, and her voice trembled a little and said: "Mrs. Qiqi, it is our soldiers and horses, and the tall banner headed by us has a Lu character written on it!" ”

Meng Xueqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally, the reinforcements finally arrived. (To be continued......)
