Chapter 329: Discussing Military Affairs
Long Qifeng understood this, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "In this way, I will appoint Long Qishui as a captain to temporarily join the army, and Teng Xinzun will be the deputy as a captain, and the two of them will discuss and handle something." Join the army, wait for the report to the royal capital after the war, and then make a decision. ”
At this point, he hesitated and looked at the red dragon. "I believe in Teng Xinzun's vision, Meng Huan Chilong is indeed handsome, but there are indeed a lot of things in your clan, in this way, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the army, but when you fight, you are also a deputy in the army, how about participating in the command? ”
Long Qifeng couldn't help but take a step back, because Meng Huan Chilong was right, the biggest thing now is to resist the people of the upright dynasty, as long as he keeps it, other things and ideas will be solved, if he can't hold it, I'm afraid that no one can escape.
And these words are equivalent to Teng Xinzun only being demoted by one level, from joining the army to becoming a captain, that is to say, not much, which can not only make the Long family hold this power, but also not make the soldiers have no cohesion, and at the same time can protect the dragon Qishui. And the promotion of Menghuan Chilong is also this purpose, he really thinks that Menghuan Chilong is a genius, if he is in this position, he will not go into battle in person, and he can save his life, but he is still the identity of the leader, and he did not dare to mention him to the position of leader.
Meng Huan Chilong thought about it for a while, and also accepted this arrangement, if he objected again, he was afraid that Long and Teng would not agree, and that would be another matter. Fortunately, he usually has nothing to do, even when he is fighting, there are two people above to help him carry it.
It's just that he feels uncomfortable, it's time for these big families to still compete for power and profit, using their own small calculations, and entanglement over some things that they don't know what to do.
He looked out through the gate of the castle tower and saw the hill outside the city wall, which had been green, but now it was bare, revealing the ground beneath the grass.
In a ray of sunshine, the dead soldiers lay on the ground, the blood under them was dazzlingly red. And the soldiers on both sides were silently collecting the corpses, and those who died in battle were placed together like a pile of goods.
This made Meng Huan Chilong feel that in the face of death, everything was equal, but what was such a death for?
He unconsciously clenched his fists and took a long breath. Although he was a little scared, a little confused, and a little sad about the future, he wanted to drive out the people of the upright dynasty and restore this land to its former appearance, which gave him infinite courage in his heart.
To achieve such a goal, it is necessary to devote oneself to this war, and there is no way to retreat, even at the cost of one's own life, not to mention that many people have already paid for it.
At this moment, he had a kind of confidence, that is, although the Wu people have many shortcomings, they also have many advantages, at least they are patriotic, as long as the Wu people form a group, they have the ability to drive out the people of the upright dynasty.
"Okay, you have no comments, please join the army and Long Qishui to complete the handover of the military talisman. Long Qifeng said softly.
It is a ritual between military positions to confirm the power that should be had.
Teng Xinzun stood out of the queue and took out a golden military talisman from his arms, the shape of which was a tiger standing and roaring in the sky, about an inch high and two inches long, with a few lines of small characters engraved on the tiger's body, the most conspicuous being the words "The Talisman of the Heavenly City Armor".
Holding it in his hand, he subconsciously touched it a few times, because this is the military talisman that mobilizes the city guards of Yitian City, it is a symbol of power, and if you have it, you will have the military command of Yitian City.
He raised his head, took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, held the golden military talisman in both hands, handed it to Long Qifeng, and said loudly: "Teng Xinzun, who originally joined the army in Heavenly City, is now handing over the command of the Heavenly City Guards to Lord Cheng Shou, and Lord Wangcheng Shou accepts it." ”
Long Qifeng nodded, took the military talisman, and turned to face Long Qishui. "Long Qishui, this military talisman symbolizes the command of the city guards, and if you take it, it means that you will be appointed to the position of joining the army in Yitian City, which means that you will have to take the responsibility of defending Yitian City. Do you have the faith to keep me safe in the city of heaven?"
Long Qishui glanced at Brother A, also took a deep breath, and knelt on one knee. "Long Qishui, the leader of the city guards, is willing to take this responsibility and ensure the safety of Yitian City, even if he sacrifices his life, he will not hesitate to do so. ”
Long Qifeng nodded, put the military talisman on Long Qishui's hand, and said, "I hope you will do what you say, defend Yitian City, and don't insult the prestige of our Long family." ”
Long Qishui clenched his military talisman and said loudly: "Lord City Guard, I will abide by my oath and never dishonor the reputation of the Long family." Then he stood up, holding the talisman in one hand and drawing the long knife at his waist in the other. "Everyone, it was not my intention to join the army, but I know that once I accept it, I will take responsibility, and I hope that everyone will work together with me to block the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty, even if they fight to the last pawn, they will also keep the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty out of the city. It's all for the sake of the Witch Country, for the sake of the Witch King. Therefore, I swear with the long sword in my hand that I will live and die with Yitian City. ”
Long Qishui said his oath loudly, and those officials and military officials were a little excited when they heard it, Teng Xinzun took out his waist knife and raised it, and shouted loudly: "For the Wu Clan, for the Wu King, we will live and die with Yitian City, and fight!" When the others heard this, they shouted together.
Long Qishui changed his usual smiling face, became much more serious, and said: "Okay, now the soldiers of the upright dynasty are outside, attacking us at any time, and everything else is simple." Let's talk first about military affairs, especially what to do later, and how to deal with the enemy. Long Qishui took office immediately, and he didn't drag his feet, and directly said the most important thing.
Meng Huan Chilong was waiting for this time, he wanted to finish this matter and go to his own clan's affairs, especially the patriarch, and the death of the clan, he had to arrange them, as well as those who were injured.
So he took a step forward and said, "My lord, I have a private matter within the clan that needs to be dealt with urgently, so I will first report a few things that I think are important to the Lord of the Army and the Lord of the City Guard." ”
Long Qishui glanced at Lord Cheng Shou and said, "Please speak!"
"I would like to ask the city guard to send officials who can speak well, and exchange brothers who died in battle with the people of the upright dynasty, we can't let the Wu people die in battle for the country, but the corpses are in the wilderness, this will be cursed by the soldiers. I have arranged for people to do it, but I am afraid that my ability is not enough, and my soldiers are either mountain people or bounty hunters, and they are worse in this kind of thing. ”
Long Qifeng and everyone were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is indeed a big deal, and it is a way to appease the army. Long Qifeng said to the staff officers around him: "You can do this matter personally, you must get it done and replace every soldier back." If the other party makes any conditions, just agree to them. ”
The counselor answered, and hurried out of the tower, thinking that he was going to run errands.
Long Qishui saw that the city guard was doing this, so he looked at Menghuan Chilong again, and said: "Menghuan Ling, you go on, I want to hear advice on how to fight the city defense battle, I know that you are a smart person, there must be a good way." He smiled a little.
Meng Huan Chilong also smiled, thought for a while, and said calmly: "I do have a few ideas, say them and refer to them." ”
Everyone present looked at him, as if they wanted to see what this smart man who was a wizard practicing genius and was considered a handsome talent was going to say.
Hearing that they were discussing military affairs, Lei Mu and a few spirit witches wanted to take their leave. Lei Mu bowed slightly and said, "Lord City Guard, there's nothing to do here, let's leave first." ”
Before Long Qifeng could speak, Meng Winding Red Dragon stopped them. "Wizards can't go, what I'm talking about has something to do with you. As you saw in the battle just now, the Righteous Dynasty used exploding arrows to attack us in a large area. We need to use talismans to compete with them, so I thank you to all the spirit wizards in advance. ”
Ma Jingtian smiled and said: "Lord Ling, don't put gold on our faces, we must have merit, and it is also the credit of your master, who gave you a box of talismans." Say, what do you want us to do?"
He also smiled. "Then I made it clear, I want to ask the spirit witches to provide offensive talismans for the archers of the city guards, as well as the strong crossbows, naturally the more the better, and the materials and money needed can be withdrawn from the barracks, but you will be affected. I know that drawing talismans is a tiring task, especially for the consciousness, so please do your best. ”
Lei Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about money, let's take over this work, organize people to draw more, and provide as many talismans as possible." ”
Long Qishui nodded and said, "There are a lot of soldiers from the Righteous Dynasty this time, and the talisman does have to be prepared more, so let's draw more spirit witches in the army." ”
Reimu asked again, "Are we okay?"
Meng Huan Chilong took out the explosive arrow he got and said, "This is an arrow that can explode, the spirit witch can organize people to study it to see what it is, it will explode." If we can make it, it's a good thing, and it can save mana power when attacking and ensure our combat effectiveness. Also, tell all the spirit witches that if there is another such thing, it can be manipulated with a force control technique, and these things will not explode. ”
At this time, Long Qifeng said in a hurry: "Red Dragon Leader, I see that the spirit witches have to complete the task of drawing talismans, but I am afraid that they will not have time to study this arrow, this matter should be handed over to the spirit witches in the army, they have experience in this area." ”
No one has ever seen an explosive arrow, so Long Qifeng just wants to master the secret of this arrow, so that the Long family has one more deterrent weapon. So as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the things in his hands in a grand manner. It's just that he doesn't know that there is not only this explosive arrow in the hand of Meng Winding Red Dragon.
Lei Mu had already stretched out his hand, but when he heard this, he calmly withdrew his hand and said to Long Qifeng: "Don't worry, we will take the matter of Fu Qi seriously." ”
Long Qifeng bowed very cautiously and said, "Then I thank you on behalf of the City Guard Mansion! You can rest assured that the City Guard Mansion will pay you in full." ”
Lei Mu also guessed what these families were going to do because of Long Qifeng's performance just now, so he didn't be polite in terms of expenses, he was going to set up a Divine Array Gate now, and he just needed a lot of money.
Although Meng Huan Chilong was born in the mountains and forests, he was not a stupid person, what Long Qifeng did, he saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, so he didn't say anything about it, but said: "Everyone, I still have something to say." The people of the Duanzheng Dynasty have set up camp on the opposite side, and we can't watch them build a camp and show off their power under our noses, so we want to ask the spirit witches to join forces to destroy the camp they built and force them to build a village far away. ”
