"This Li Zhongjian is also a hero!" Also in extreme shock, Luo Cheng looked far more calm than Dou Jiande, who was dozens of miles away. His father Luo Yi's years of words and deeds have cultivated his instinct not to be surprised, and his own proud character also made him refuse to show weakness after hearing about Li Xu's arrival, but a trace of excitement surged in his heart.

Shorter and longer with the legendary hero has been Luo Cheng's dream for many years. Since he was fourteen years old, his ears have been filled with heroic stories about Li Zhongjian and about him and his 800 heroes who fought 3,000 miles in Liaodong. Although under the intentional or unintentional promotion of the imperial court, the whole story has been 108,000 miles away from the truth. But Luo Chengcheng is willing to listen, willing to let his boy's dream overlap with the back in the story.

He is the only son of Luo Yi, the general of the Tiger Ben, so he will never have the opportunity to fight as a small brigade. As the sole heir of the Youzhou Army, he has never encountered any strong opponents. In my memory, the battle with my father the year before last was barely enjoyable. But in that battle, Luo Cheng was the general infantry on the left, Liu Yifang on the right, and his father Luo Yi was sitting in the back, which did not allow him to fully exert his skills at all. As for leading the troops south to the river this time, so far he has only fought two battles with a few groups of small soldiers who came to inquire about the truth and reality, and it is completely a knife to kill chickens and a sword to chop wood.

Since Li Zhongjian took the initiative to attack, Luo Chengcheng decided to have a good fight with him. Fight for a huge name for yourself, and let the father see how his son gives him a face. Therefore, after asking the scout about the reality of the enemy army, he immediately made a decision and ordered Shen Jiong, the vanguard under his account, to lead 2,000 soldiers to go out and attack Li Xu's military camp overnight.

"You are only allowed to stand in the distance and create chaos, don't give Bolingjun a chance to rest, and don't get too close to be counterattacked!" Grabbing the arrow, Luo Cheng was trembling when he heard his voice. "No matter whether the goal is achieved or not, as long as you ensure the safety of your brothers, I will take your first credit!"

"Order!" Shen Jiong trembled with excitement, clenched his fists and stood solemnly, and responded loudly.

He was very glad that Liu Yifang and other veterans were not by Luo Cheng's side at the moment, otherwise he would definitely not easily let himself get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The Youzhou Army has rarely encountered opponents for so many years, how can the Boling pawns stop it? If the major general can lead everyone to defeat Li Xu's troops this time, those old guys will be impressed by the younger generation. There is no longer a chance to be wordy, and one by one is as endless as an autumn grasshopper.

"Be careful, the enemy is on guard, and you will retreat immediately. Although Li Zhongjian is newly defeated, his name is not for nothing! After handing over the arrow to his cronies, Luo Cheng patted the other party's shoulder and whispered.

The arrogant army will be defeated, and his father has repeatedly told him not to underestimate any enemy. Therefore, he also tried his best to put Li Xu in the position of a senior master, although this senior was not much different in age from himself.

"Someone, take my general order to transfer the defenders of Lucheng and Pingshu, so that after receiving the order, they will immediately move closer to Shucheng!" After sending away his confidant and beloved general, Luo Cheng grabbed the second and third arrows. At present, the biggest disadvantage of the Youzhou army in Hejian County is that the forces are too scattered. Luo Cheng's main camp in Shucheng only had about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the brothers were on missions in several nearby counties. If he was still facing Zhao Ziming, Luo Cheng would be able to give the other party a free hand with the two thousand light horsemen and eight thousand foot soldiers in his hand. But considering that it was Li Zhongjian who was about to face, the Youzhou army had to be more cautious. Gather all your strength into a fist first, and then find an opportunity to compete with someone.

"No!" The herald stepped forward, took the command, and trotted out of the tent.

"Look at how anxious you are!" Luo Cheng laughed and scolded in his heart, then grabbed the fourth arrow and asked, "Whose turn is it to patrol the night tonight?" ”。

"The last general, Liu Dexin!" Liu Yifang's son came out and responded loudly.

"Take this arrow and dispatch double the manpower, and the city gates and city walls will be put up according to wartime!" Luo Cheng nodded at Liu Dexin and explained.

"The young general rest assured, the last general will never give the enemy a chance!" Liu Dexin stood solemnly and assured loudly.

"The enemy hasn't arrived yet, be careful, don't be surprised!" As one of the few seniors in the Eastern Front battalion, the marching commander Shi Qinji smiled and reminded on the side. He agrees with the fact that the enemy is taken seriously, but he does not approve of the enemy being seen too strongly. Otherwise, it will only have the effect of increasing the popularity of others and extinguishing the prestige of one's own family, which is really worth the loss.

"Qin Changshi said it well, what should everyone do tonight. At least tomorrow at noon, the brothers from the other two cities will not be able to arrive. At that time, the physical strength of the Boling Army is estimated to have almost recovered, and then the two of us will fight a tough battle in a solid manner, and I don't believe that the surname Li has grown three heads and six arms! Luo Cheng agreed with Qin Ji's suggestion and told with a smile.

After all, in the past day, the Boling army has traveled more than 80 miles. Under this kind of marching intensity, the physical exertion of the soldiers must be very large. Li Zhongjian and his subordinates are not iron-clad, they need to rest. So everyone be careful, but the real battle may not start soon.

Calculating the time it would take for his troops and horses to assemble and the time when the enemy might start attacking, Luo Cheng's heart settled down a lot. He believed that if he held on to Shucheng, even if General Fei was reincarnated, the other party would not have the ability to quickly decide the victory with him. But in that case, the first merit of breaking through Boling may be snatched away by the old generals under his father's command, which is really unwilling.

What if I lead the army? A very tempting idea surged into Luo Cheng's heart. He felt his throat run dry and his body burned hot from the accelerated flow of blood. Defeating Li Zhongjian in the field is the dream of all generals. In terms of the strength of the two sides, the Youzhou Army and the Boling Army are not much different from each other. In terms of the physical strength of the soldiers, the Youzhou army firmly has the upper hand. In terms of morale, the Youzhou army came on the rise, and the Boling army had just suffered a major defeat...... After calculating it, Luo Cheng was pleased to find that in addition to his own experience and reputation being inferior to Li Xu, no matter from any point of view, the Youzhou Army was not weaker than the other party.

'Fame is made, and experience is accumulated by actual combat!' He admonished himself secretly. Right now, there is a chance to fight. Even if they miss for a while, the Youzhou army can still retreat to the city and resist according to the danger. And once Li Xu is defeated......

Temptation, a temptation that is hard to ignore. Even if he reluctantly turned his head, the huge temptation still sent the rich fragrance to Luo Cheng's nose like honey. He could hear the longing of his heart, but he couldn't forget the duty on his shoulders. poured out a thought and denied it, poured out an idea and overturned it by itself, like tossing and turning again and again, from eating the night to the dawn of the next day, the impulse to face Li Xu was still difficult to contain.

At dawn, a noisy footstep ended Luo Cheng's half-asleep state. "Who's making noise outside!" Reaching for his sword from the head of the bed, he asked aloud. Running around in the barracks is punishable, and even if he is mild-tempered, he can't tolerate someone deliberately violating military regulations.

"Yes, marching commander Shi Qinji." When the halberd guards heard this, their faces were as pale as snow, "Young General Yu, marching commander Shi Qinji, and former battalion commander Cui Huaisheng ask to see." said that there is an urgent military situation that needs to be reported to the major general in person! ”

"No matter how urgent it is, let them go to the Chinese army and wait!" Luo Cheng was shocked, and the exhaustion all over his body disappeared in an instant. "The commander is the courage of an army, and he wants Mount Tai to collapse in front of him and not change his color", he repeatedly silently recited his father's teachings, put on his armor, and then walked to the Chinese army's tent at the same pace as usual.

Almost all of the core generals have been awakened. They gathered on both sides of the handsome case and kept talking to each other. The sound of discussion was like countless flies flying in his ears, and the noise made Luo Cheng feel disgusted. "That's it!" He slapped the handsome case hard and scolded, "Before the expedition, how did everyone guarantee it." The sky is falling or the ground is sinking, it is worth your panic! ”

The chatter stopped abruptly as if someone had been twisting their necks with their hands. Everyone in the tent is behind the gate, and they are usually guided by their fathers. As a military general, one of the most basic qualities is to be calm at the critical moment. Moreover, last night's losses were not large, not enough to affect the situation of the battle.

"What the hell is going on? Qin Changshi, don't you have something to report? Luo Cheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally fell on Shi Qinji, the marching commander sent by his father.

As the elder Shi Qin Yong's clan brother, Qin Ji is far from being as calm as his brother. A few steps forward, he said in a visibly trembling voice: "According to the scout's report, General Shen Jiong was countered by the enemy last night. The army was defeated, and the specific casualties are not yet known! ”

"Is the news confirmed? How does it work? Luo Cheng frowned and asked in the same way as his father. A pair of fists held under the table had turned white, and there was a sharp pain in the palms.

"The defeated army is retreating. So the news is only partially confirmed. According to the scout, General Shen Jiong was ordered to harass the enemy, but was ambushed by Li Zhongjian. His brothers were scattered in the night, and the Lord has not heard from him yet! Qin Ji thought about it and tried his best to make his words sound organized.

The main purpose of the Eastern Route Army is to train the team, so the coach Luo Yi did not send experienced veterans to sit in the town at all. Before the sudden problem, his long history, which he had survived by his qualifications, could not play the role of a counselor in military affairs at all.

Knowing that his long history was useless, Luo Cheng had no choice but to solve the problem by himself. After thinking about it carefully, he ordered in a calm voice, "Send a few more scouts out to find out the news, you must find General Shen, you must see people alive, and corpses when you die!" ”。

"Yes!" Cui Huaisheng, the leader of the scouts, immediately responded and turned to leave the account.

"There's no way you can get Brother Shen back!" Looking at the back of the scout leader, Luo Cheng secretly came to a conclusion in his heart. The so-called living to see people, dead to see corpses, just to comfort the other generals in front of them. Two thousand soldiers were surrounded by nearly ten times the Boling army, how could there be too many people who escaped. Now Luo Cheng can only hope that Shen Jiong will have good luck and not be cut down by the enemy general. As long as he stays alive, no matter how much he suffers, the Youzhou army will rescue him sooner or later, and sooner or later he will seek justice for him.
