Chapter 359: The Battle of the Siege
Before it was time for Li Zhou to marry his daughter-in-law, Lu Ce's promised period of March was close at hand.
The day before the upcoming competition, Li Tingyu came to the Xishan camp again.
Looking at the people standing straight on the martial arts arena, she showed a satisfied smile.
These people have become completely new, very different from the lazy and lazy appearance they had three months ago.
She has confidence in Lu Ce, and she also has confidence in these hard-trained soldiers, and they will definitely win this competition.
Everyone in the audience was also a little nervous when they saw Li Tingyu, Instructor Li hadn't been here for a long time, so he wouldn't torture them again today.
"Tomorrow is our competition with the Wei family, do you have confidence?" Li Tingyu spoke.
The big guy replied loudly, "Yes! ”
If she had said this on the first day of training, everyone would have laughed at her for her delusional thinking. But after these three months of devil training, the soldiers of the Xishan Battalion have a new understanding of themselves.
They want to become the people of the first battalion of Jindu, so why should they pay attention to the Wei family's army.
What's more, the old thieves of the Wei family framed General Lu's family, and they must avenge General Lu!
The past few months of getting along day and night have not only changed their opinion of Lu Ce, but also empathized with the misfortune that Lu Jiajun had encountered.
Isn't the most fearful thing for a soldier to be a fellow soldier stabbing himself?
You can die on the battlefield, but you must not be framed to death.
It can be said that the Xishan camp is unprecedentedly united at this moment.
Li Tingyu nodded, his eyes scanning everyone in the audience.
Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, she was also encouraged, and the faint worry in her heart disappeared in a blink of an eye.
What she was most afraid of was admitting defeat before she could compare, and since the soldiers of the Xishan Battalion were confident, there was nothing to fear.
United, Xishan Camp will win!
"If you can win this competition, I will invite the master master of Peach Blossom Spring, you just have to open your belly and eat." Li Tingyu smiled and said the reward.
"Oh!! Are you sure? The soldiers in the audience immediately went crazy when they heard the words Peach Blossom Spring.
It's a place for a tael of silver, and only rich people can eat food, so do they have a chance to eat it?
"When will I stop talking?" Li Tingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes full of banter.
"No, no, Instructor Li has a promise." Wang Jue replied with a grin.
Lu Ce watched their interaction from the sidelines, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.
The original nervous mood slowly calmed down.
He is the backbone of everyone, and he can't mess with this competition.
The soldiers of the West Hill Battalion were well fed and drank and had a pleasant pre-game night.
Tomorrow is a great time for them to prove themselves, and they must not lose!
Early in the morning of the second day, before the sun had risen, the competition field was already full of people.
All the officials above the fifth rank in the court have arrived, and only Emperor Wenjing has not yet arrived.
Lu Ce led the soldiers of the Xishan Battalion and the Wei family army led by Wei Zhong to look at each other from a distance, and occupied a city used in the competition alone.
"Lu Ce, I didn't expect you to listen to those slanderous rumors and actually challenge me." Wei Zhong rode in front of Lu Ce and said with a regretful face.
"Oh." Lu Ce was very cold, and he didn't have any intention of talking.
Wei Zhong was furious, but he had to make a loving appearance, after all, he was Lu Ce's elder in age, and he was also Lu Ce's predecessor in the military camp, so he couldn't deal with Lu Ce, a hairy boy.
"Your Majesty has arrived." Lu Huaide's voice came from not far away, and the officials sitting here got up one after another to salute Emperor Wen Jing.
Wei Zhong was naturally no exception, he got off the horse and prepared to go to greet Emperor Wen Jing, and before leaving, he said: "Since this is the case, then I have nothing to say." ”
After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "If you lose this competition, don't be sad, after all, you have just started training." ”
"It's not certain who loses and who wins, Lord Wei, don't be too happy." Lu Ce jumped off the horse and passed by him.
These words made Wei Zhong angry enough.
"It's really unbelievable." Wei Zhong snorted coldly and followed.
The crowd on the stage was a little far away and couldn't hear their conversation clearly, and they were chatting about today's game from ear to ear.
"Wechen see Your Majesty." Lu Ce and Wei Zhong saluted Emperor Wenjing at the same time.
"Aiqing is flat." Emperor Wen Jing was in a good mood, so he was also very kind to the two of them, and let them get up with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them got up and respectfully waited for Emperor Wen Jing's next instructions.
"Jiang Aiqing, tell me about today's competition." Emperor Wen Jing looked at the big Sima beside him.
As the supreme leader of the military attachés, Da Sima Jiangshu naturally coordinated this competition.
He answered, stood up and spoke slowly: "This competition is divided into three games. The first siege, the second night attack, the third victory, the best of three games. Do you have any doubts? ”
Lu Ce and Wei Zhong both shook their heads, this is a common competition, and they both know it very well.
"In the first siege, the first to capture the enemy's city wins. Before sunset, if you fail to win the opponent's city, it will be a tie. Do you have any questions? Jiang Shu said the rules of the first game.
Seeing that they had no objections, Jiang Shu continued to speak: "Then it will be decided who chooses which city by drawing a fist." ”
Lu Ce smiled slightly, this is what he is good at.
Wei Zhong's face was a little bad, he felt that Da Sima seemed to be favoring Lu Ce, this kid.
But Jiang Shu has already spoken, how can he change his words.
So the two decided to punch each other.
Not surprisingly, Lu Ce greeted him.
"I choose Wuling City." He said without hesitation.
"Then I want Jinling City." Wei Zhong's face remained unchanged.
Seeing that the two were well chosen, Jiang Shu turned his head to look at Emperor Wen Jing, waiting for him to give an order.
"In that case, let's get started."
Time was pressing, and the two didn't talk nonsense, and ran back to their city quickly.
The castle here is specially built for drills, and apart from the difference in size, it is almost exactly the same as the real city.
Lu Ce rushed back to Wuling City, and there were 200 elite soldiers guarding outside the city gate.
A mile on both sides of the city was full of officials watching the competition.
Lu Ce didn't look at them too much, and went directly to the official residence in the center of the city.
Inside the house, the five centurions had already arrived, waiting for Lu Ce to discuss the competition with them.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, they have all heard of the Wei family's fighting style, and Lu Ce also remembers the commonly used formations very clearly.
And Wei Jiajun doesn't know anything about them, this is their advantage.
Moreover, he had already sent people to collect the topographical maps of the two cities. No matter whether it was Jinling City or Wuling City, he could know where in the city it was.
