Lingwu cried out at this time, grief-stricken, and cried so much that he vomited. This was the first time that Lingwu had lost a loved one, and after arriving in Shuanglong City, the two uncles took care of him like a father, making him feel like he was in his own home.

"Child, don't cry. It's not clear what happened to your uncle, more than 200,000 of us died at the hands of barbarians, and we must kill all these beasts. Don't just cry, let's talk about how to meet the enemy. I ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, and called several commanders and generals to come to me to discuss matters. ”

Long Weihou's guards quickly set up a tent in an open area on the side of the road, and the two chief stewards and the three generals directly under him sat down in the tent.

Long Weihou was the first to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, the young master has reconnoitred the enemy situation in front, and our 80,000 horses in Nanling Mansion in front of us, and the 200,000 people led by the forward Rulong have all been annihilated. This is Huang Qingshan, who has just escaped back, which completely confirms the situation ahead. ”

The fiasco in front shocked all the generals, and everyone talked about it in a loud voice, and they didn't even notice the change in Long Weihou's name for Lingwu. It turned out that Long Weihou always called Lingwu's name, which was completely the tone of the elders to the juniors, which was very cordial. But now calling Lingwu a young master, he simply regards Lingwu as a figure of the same level as himself, and is even full of respect.

"Next, please tell the young master about the enemy situation ahead" Long Weihou coughed, and everyone immediately stopped talking.

"The situation is not as serious as everyone just discussed" Lingwu first corrected everyone's panic remarks just now: "The 80,000 people in Nanling Mansion were defeated at one touch, mainly because of lax military discipline and were raided by poisonous wolves late at night. As soon as Huang Qingshan heard this, sweat suddenly flowed from head to toe.

"I checked the battle between the vanguard troops and the brutes. As far as I can guess, they are no match for the brutes, but they have also dealt heavy blows to their enemies. In the area of the Qingshui River where the battle was fought, I found a large number of brute beast corpses, no less than ** million poisonous wolves, as well as a large number of unknown brute beasts and a lot of barbarians. The 200,000 troops in the forward caused at least more than 100,000 deaths of the enemy, and it should be said that the opponent's strength was not particularly strong. ”

At this time, Lin Zhi added and analyzed: "I heard the young master say that the corpses of sixty or seventy thousand soldiers were found on the south bank of the Qingshui River. It stands to reason that when fighting on both sides of the river, our soldiers should not appear on the opposite bank. This shows that the battle took place just halfway through the crossing of the river by our men, and the people who had passed by were blocked on the other side of the river and could not return. The forward troops were originally fighting with the barbarians under unfavorable circumstances, Lord Huang, do you know that the specific situation is like this? Lin Zhi paused and asked Huang Qingshan.

"Yes, General Zhang's troops had just crossed the river with 80,000 men when the brute beasts came. General Zhang was worried that it would be difficult for the brute beasts to cross the river at night, and besides, the troops in the past had no time to retreat, so 80,000 people fought with the poisonous wolf on the south bank for a night, and did not let a single poisonous wolf cross the river until dawn. When the poisonous wolves crossed the river the next day, General Zhang led everyone to defend the river, and only more than 10,000 of the 100,000 poisonous wolves were killed, and all of them retreated to the other side. I thought it was a victory, and then the barbarians came, and all the arrows were used up" Huang Qingshan stopped when he said this, and everyone understood the result.

"Actually, they were victorious, but they were met with a steady stream of enemies. They won by taking advantage of the favorable time and terrain, and their defeat was also due to being attacked by the opponent and losing half of their strength. Long Weihou made a summary analysis.

"Master Hou, Lingwu doesn't think the enemy is terrible. Through reconnaissance, there are only about 20,000 poisonous wolves and 40,000 or 50,000 barbarians in the area about ten days ahead of our army, as well as a large number of other weaker brute beasts. I also carefully checked the place in the south of Nanling Mansion near the Xiliang Marquis Kingdom, there were no other brute beasts behind them, and this one should be part of the scattered. For our Chinese military, they do not pose much of a threat, as long as we are prepared and carefully planned, we will definitely be able to win easily. As for the red-haired monster, with Hou Ye here, it only has a dead end" Lingwu's analysis made everyone's eyes light up.

"Lingwu's analysis is very correct, it is not difficult to defeat the brute beast in front of him. But I'm thinking that this time we've lost close to 300,000 men, and we can't afford to have big losses anymore. So we have to think of an effective way to minimize our casualties. One is that the opponent has a large number of weak brute beasts, and a large number of bows and arrows can be used against them, reducing the casualties of our warriors. The second one can directly kill the red-haired monster with a surprise soldier, and the enemy will collapse without a fight. If we engage the barbarians directly, we may suffer heavy casualties," Long Weihou expressed his worries and plans.

The deliberations lasted for an hour, and as soon as the deliberations were over, Long Weihou ordered the whole army to advance overnight. Long Weihou stood up and looked at Huang Qingshan, Huang Qingshan's face was pale, he knew that Long Weihou could take his life at any time.

"You are miscommanding, and you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you should really be put to death to thank the souls of hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

"Hou Ye spare his life" Huang Qingshan knelt at Hou Ye's feet with a plop, kowtowing. Seeing this Huang Qingshan like this, thinking that he was also the lord of a mansion, and now that he had fallen into this step of the field, it was difficult to even save his life, Lingwu couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.

"Master Hou, you can spare General Huang's life. The general is the pillar of the country, and talents are rare! A few days ago, I wanted to find someone to help bring down the guards, but I couldn't find them for a year, and now I am the only one who can bring them. It's a pity to kill him, please allow him to make meritorious contributions" Lingwu stepped forward to intercede for him.

Long Weihou looked at Huang Qingshan, then looked at Lingwu and said: "Anyway, I don't want to see such a person, Lingwu, if you want to protect him, I will leave it to you to deal with, whether you kill or stay, you can do what you want" After speaking, he walked out of the camp without looking back.

There were only a few people left in the camp tent, Lingwu helped Huang Qingshan up: "Lord Huang, get up quickly." If you have any plans for the future, if you need my help, just say, I'll do my best. ”

"Young Master, for saving your life today, Huang will be rewarded one day. Now I don't have any plans, I just want to see the fate of the brute beast who killed my whole army, I can only ask the young master to take me in and let me follow the adult" Huang Qingshan respectfully saluted Lingwu: "I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I just don't want such an embarrassing and shameful death, and the eldest husband deserves to die." ”

"It's okay to follow me, but I'm afraid of wronging General Huang. If you don't mind, you can follow General Wei for the time being. If you have any needs, you are welcome, and if you have any plans to come and go freely in the future. ”

"Thank you, Master Shao, Huang knows that he doesn't thank you for his kindness, but I can only say thank you now."
