"Why should General Tiangong bother so much. ￥f，”

Sun Tian had heard similar scenes from the storyteller's story, and felt that it was very similar to the current situation, so he couldn't help but say: "Just strike first, and eradicate them." Set up a banquet to invite Wang Huifang and others, and prepare 500 swords and axes outside, throw cups as a signal, and ambush soldiers to kill ...... together"

"It's as simple as you think!"

Chen Wu and Shi Xianqian were both amused by Sun Tian's words.

Wang Huifang is not stupid, even if he comes to the banquet, he will definitely not bring less guards, how can he give the righteous army a chance. What's more, the nature of the Good Friends Association is rather special, and it belongs to that kind of cult that is more fanatical, which is different from the forces of the Little Knife Society and the like. If the latter kills their leader, Chen Wu can easily annex and absorb its remnants, but most of those Dharma Protector Buddhist soldiers of the Good Friends Association will be carried to the end.

If you really want to do it, you have to wait for a large number of wounded soldiers on the side of the righteous army to recover and appease the Lin family.

"So, one last thing for today. General Dian, please go back and accompany me on a trip to visit the Lin family in person. ”

Chen Wu said the last thing of the meeting in a light tone.

Not surprisingly, this sentence sparked fierce repercussions and opposition among the rebels. Probably worried that his understanding was wrong, Dian Yong confirmed: "It's just me and the general? ”

Chen Wu nodded: "Since it's a visit, of course there can't be many people, you and I are enough." ”

"Subordinates oppose!"

Sun Tian, Shi Xianqian and others stood up together, and the Lin family and the rebels were invincible, and they were undying enemies. If your own leader comes to the door alone, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

What should I do if I am taken down by the other party directly, or even killed on the spot?

"If you need a messenger, you can just send a dead soldier, why bother the general to take the risk himself."

Dian Yong also strongly disagreed. No matter how confident he was in his martial arts, he didn't think that he could protect Chen Wu's safety under the siege of hundreds or thousands of Lin family members.

"Everyone, just rest assured, the Lin family won't dare to mess around."

Seeing that everyone still had objections, he compromised: "Of course, there is still the necessary deterrence. The Lin family's reaction would have been expected. But no one else is allowed to do anything unpleasant. Sun Tian, you will later bring all the troops that the Taiping Battalion can mobilize now, pull the trebuchets and bed crossbows of the engineering battalion to the outer rack of the Lin Mansion, and then send my prayer post in. ”

Is it a visit after the army is overwhelmed, and then the deterrence is followed?

There are still concerns, but this time, the opposition is less intense. Unless the Lin family is crazy, they shouldn't be burned lightly.

And. Everyone also has confidence in Chen Wu's judgment.

Any decision he made since the beginning of the army was proven to be the right thing in hindsight.

"By the way, what if the people from the Lin Mansion take the initiative to attack us?"

Sun Tian asked about something that was likely to happen.

Chen Wu thought for a moment and ordered: "Don't take the initiative to attack!" If the other party dares to come out and fight, then don't be polite, and hit me back. There is only one thing to remember, no matter what, you are not allowed to step into the Lin Mansion, otherwise you will be punished as a felony! ”

"Humble duty understands!"

Sun Tian took the order. I went down and transferred my troops.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart, if the people of the Lin Mansion really dared to make any changes. Then he immediately led a large army into the Lin Mansion to rescue.

………

"The thief army has moved!"

"Quickly report to General Lin Anluo, a large number of thieves are approaching the Lin Mansion."

"Stone-thrower! The thief's stone thrower has also appeared! ”

On the Lin Mansion's side, he has not relaxed his vigilance against the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Association. Chen Wu's Taiping camp had just been mobilized, and the scouts of the Lin Mansion and the private soldiers on the watchtower immediately reacted, like a frying pan, and quickly spread the news.

The alarm bell rang immediately.

A large number of private soldiers were armed and equipped. Begin to assemble to meet the enemy. The high-level leaders of the Lin family were originally discussing the situation in the city with the people of the Shangguan family and the Zhang family, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly when they received the news. Under Lin Anluo's leadership, almost all the men changed their armor and took their swords, ready to fight to the death. The ladies all retreated to the inner courtyard, and each of them brought poisoned wine. It's really the last minute. It is better to take poison and commit suicide than to fall into the hands of thieves and suffer humiliation.

With remorse, self-blame and despair, the head of the family, Lin Anhe, had a solemn face, and offered incense to the ancestors in the Lin family ancestral hall, silently praying for their protection. Just before entering, he had ordered someone to open the family's underground secret room, and sent the most elite generals into it. Inside, there were a number of strong crossbows, infantry heavy armor, and various other military equipment and drawings that were strictly forbidden to be possessed by the Empire.

I knew that the thief was so strong...... Alas, it is useless to regret at the moment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Anhe knew that with the current strength of the Lin family, as long as the thief army attacked with all their might at any cost, it would definitely be able to break through.

The Lin family, which has existed since the founding of the country, may be about to reach its last day.

In addition to Lin Anhe, the Shangguan family, the Zhang family, and the Governor Qian Boming and other members of the faction who gathered here were also secretly praying.

"The thieves are lining up at the main gate!"

"More than twenty trebuchets found!"

"Hurry up and ask General Shilin, do you want to take the initiative to attack and destroy the thieves' trebuchets first?"

More news came quickly, and the Taiping army moved faster than they thought. After experiencing a bloody battle at the South City Gate, the soldiers of the Taiping Battalion, who won and survived, ushered in a metamorphosis. Although the time is still short, the effect of this transformation is not obvious, but there is already a temperament that he did not have before.

While the Lin Mansion was preparing for defense, the Taiping Battalion soldiers who were attacking from afar had already set up an array, just a hundred steps away from the main gate of the Lin Mansion.

In the past, the Taiping Camp would never have been able to reach this assembly speed.

As the atmosphere of slaughter and tension spreads, another major war seems to be on the verge of breaking out. The combined combat strength of the two sides exceeded 1,500 people, and they confronted each other through the gate of the Lin Mansion.

It is also thanks to the fact that the street outside the Lin Mansion is wide enough, and the atmosphere inside the mansion is even more myriad, otherwise it would not be able to be opened.

The rebels had been ordered in advance to defend and not attack, so the array looked as steady as a mountain, and the soldiers were also calm. The private soldiers of the Lin Mansion were not so calm, they were the losers of the war, and they saw the elite of the thief army pressing out of the door. There are all kinds of thoughts in my heart, and many people are clamoring for a preemptive strike.

Otherwise, when the thieves' trebuchets roar up one by one, the number of people on the Lin family's side will not be enough for them to smash.

"No!"

Lin Anluo, who hurried over and climbed the watchtower, and several other generals from other families, finished watching the array of the rebels outside. coincidentally organized his subordinates.

"Did you notice?"

Lin An slightly touched the general of the Shangguan family beside him, and then looked at Lin Yunwen, whose body was still a little vague and had not yet recovered from the blow, and asked with a little puzzlement.

"It's strange."

Although Lin Yunwen is the director of the administrative department of Wu'an, he is in charge of civil affairs, but he was able to lead the family alliance before, which is enough to show his attainments in military affairs. After just one glance, I noticed the arrangement of the rebels. Not only was a defensive phalanx used, but a row of rejecting horses was also erected.

In this way, it doesn't look like it's going to attack!

Given the cunning and strength of the rebel army. Lin Yunwen, who had suffered a loss, didn't dare to draw conclusions for a while, and countless thoughts flew through his mind. For example, the thief army is only deterring, and has no intention of attacking for the time being; Or maybe they were trying to get their idea at the main gate, while other troops were coming in from other directions to break down the wall......

However, the Lin family's watchtower in other directions did not come from the alarm signal.

Lin Anluo was also very strange, and he couldn't tell the meaning of the thief on the other side. But one thing is certain, it is best if the thief does not attack. They were happy to drag it out, and no one wanted to take the initiative to kill and stimulate each other.

"Someone from the thief army is coming!"

That's when it happened. An exclamation rang out.

Lin Yunwen and the others were shocked in their hearts, and they all looked at the past. However, the thieves did not want to attack in a big way, but only one man came empty-handed, looking more like a messenger.

"Could it be that you're here to declare war?"

Several people looked at each other and discussed each other's intentions in a whisper.

The Shangguan family's home will guess. This person wanted to trick the Lin Mansion into opening the door so that he could take the opportunity to attack. But this idea, which is unreliable at first glance, was immediately denied by Lin Yunwen and them. Not to mention whether it is feasible or not, just saying that the thieves have so many trebuchets will not be needed at all. More than 100 catties of large stones fell down. The city gate can be smashed, and the gate of the forest mansion can be stronger than the iron-clad city gate?

"Let's go check it out!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Yunwen took the lead and walked down.

Lin Anluo also wanted to know what tricks Chen Wu was going to play, so he followed closely.

To their surprise, the messenger sent by the volunteer army did not make any move, just simply handed over a letter of worship through the crack in the door, and then calmly left in the guard of the Lin family's soldiers as if they were facing a great enemy.

Worship posts are the kind commonly used by officials in the government for banquets, and on weekdays, even if such a worship post is sent to the Lin family's gatehouse, most of them will be discarded, and no one will take a look at it at all. But now, Lin Yunwen, the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Anluo, the general of the army, and a group of high-ranking people of the family who rushed to hear the news, are vying to circulate this ordinary letter of worship.

"I have heard for a long time that the Langya Pavilion of the Lin Mansion is elegant, and I want to come to the door in the evening to appreciate it, and I hope that the master of the Lin family will be perfect."

The inscription is, Tiangong General Chen Wu!

If it is another nobleman from Wu'an who wants to visit the Lin Mansion, which wording is not extremely euphemistic, and at the end I have to add a sentence, if the Lin Mansion is inconvenient, I will give up. But Chen Wu's letter of worship, although it was a request, was actually more like a notice and an order, and he didn't ask the host if it was convenient at all, so he directly agreed on the time.

Three years ago, the fifth prince came to inspect in person on behalf of the emperor, and he didn't dare to be so direct when he visited the Lin family.

However, whether it is Lin Yunwen or Lin Anluo, including the high-level leaders of the Lin family, no one is angry about this, but they are all confused with hope, and the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

This short one-sentence message is too important.

Although he didn't know why, Chen Wu didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the Lin Mansion, but instead seemed to have the intention of showing goodwill. Even if this attitude seems a bit domineering on weekdays, as the winner in front of him, the other party does have this qualification. Or, if Chen Wu lowered his attitude, they would suspect that there was fraud.

"Visiting ......"

Lin Anhe closed his eyes and thought for a moment, his brows that had been frowning for a few days finally relaxed, and ordered: "Come on, tell me to go down, the banquet will be held this evening, and the Lin Mansion will prepare to receive distinguished guests with the highest specifications!"
