Xu Xiaobai touched his chin and thought: "In front of so many people, if I show my ability too much, it is strange if those people don't doubt it, so this time, obviously I can't show excessive strength in front of tens of millions of people, but both of us are very good at arranging formations, and there are troops that can be mobilized on the border, if we can set up formations to meet the enemy, we can let the Mongols have no return." ”

Xu Ping said: "But after all, the border has the management method of the border army, and if we go to command the army, they may not be convinced." ”

Indeed, since ancient times, the army has been a place where a group of righteous men have gathered. It is true that those people gathered together are not something that outsiders can intervene in. Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping could only wait for the time being.

Half a day later, the front came to report that the Mongols were full of fighting spirit. Because the masks disappeared, the group of Mongols became excited as if they had taken stimulants. News of defeat continued to come from the front, and soon, bad news came that General Luochuan had been killed by the Mongols.

The army was suddenly shocked, and Niu Erhe and others were shouting to avenge the general. The crown prince Zhu Biao had to come in person to appease the people in the army, and said that nearby reinforcements would arrive soon. In the face of the aggressive Mongols outside, Zhu Biao was also anxious and didn't know what to do. The people around him persuaded him to leave early, but Zhu Biao couldn't escape from the battle, so as not to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction, and at the same time, he also knew that he could get the position of prince, but his younger brothers were also quite outstanding, and the position of prince was not easy to do.

However, there must be no leader in the army, and if Zhu Biao personally commands it, it will inevitably be too hasty. The crowd also thought it was wrong. Xu Xiaobai saw that the time was ripe, and took the initiative to ask: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you can trust you, you are willing to temporarily take the position of general in the army." ”

Zhu Biao hesitated: "After all, fighting is different from other things, and I'm worried that Xiaobai is not suitable for things in the army." ”

At this time, Leng Yan said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now, the matter is urgent, and it is indeed necessary to make a decision as soon as possible." Although Leng Yan is also in the army, he has participated in some battles with several generals, and if Lord Xu decides to temporarily take the position of general in the army. I am willing to assist Master Xu. ”

Xu Ping was happy. whispered to Xu Xiaobai in the back: "This sister paper is really good for you." Now I will start talking for you, are you tempted, and you are determined to accept her! ”

Xu Xiaobai teased: "Oh, you actually said the words that I received." You're going against the odds today. ”

Cut. Xu Ping continued to glare at Xu Xiaobai. They knew that this was the time for Zhu Biao to make a decision. Reinforcements have not yet arrived, and now there is a real need for a general above the border defense. And Zhu Biao asked himself. It is indeed not suitable for him to take the initiative, because once he falls into the hands of the Mongols, it will cause more trouble. After consideration, Zhu Biao finally decided to let Xu Xiaobai temporarily take the position in the army.

Xu Xiaobai temporarily took over the position of General Luo Chuan, and the first order he gave was: "Lu Dali, I now order the eight of you to protect the crown prince, and if there is any problem, first ensure that the prince retreats." If the prince has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I will ask you. ”

After Lu Dali and Tong Erniu and other eight people received the order. Xu Xiaobai said again: "Wang Daxing, Wang Erxing, Wang Xiaoxing." This time the Mongols were menacing, and our border guards were obviously at a disadvantage in the face of the Mongol cavalry, so it was obviously impossible to contact some external liliang. I'll teach Wang Erxing how to use a toxin Gu worm later, and then the three of you will work together to create the Gu worm I need as quickly as possible according to my method." ”

The three brothers of the Wang family were also ordered to leave.

Xu Xiaobai was left with Xu Ping and Leng Yan, and now, they were going to the barracks to have a look, because if they wanted to lead an army, they naturally had to get the heartfelt support of the soldiers first. Therefore, it is naturally important to visit the soldiers first.

After going to the barracks, what Xu Xiaobai saw was a miserable appearance. Because of the fighting spirit of the Mongols this time, coupled with the sudden attack, the Ming Dynasty soldiers were greatly impacted, in addition to General Luochuan was ambushed and killed, there were also some soldiers who were trapped and did not get off the line.

Xu Xiaobai temporarily managed these soldiers, and the first thing he had to do was to let these soldiers obey him. Niu Erhe and the others were anxious to obey Xu Xiaobai's orders, and Xu Xiaobai said: "What is the situation of the soldiers now." ”

Although those soldiers respected Xu Xiaobai, after all, they were somewhat dissatisfied with a leader who was suddenly airborne, so they procrastinated when answering questions.

In the end, one person said: "The mood is not high, and the Mongols are too murderous this time, I'm afraid that we won't be able to send reinforcements, and we really can't withstand it." ”

Xu Xiaobai looked at the current expressions of the soldiers, and knew that if he didn't do something, it was obviously impossible to convince the public. So he said, "Well, I see that everyone is tired." You go back to the camp first, appease the soldiers, Niu Erhe, you stay. ”

After everyone dispersed, Xu Xiaobai said to Niu Erhe: "You go and choose ten capable warriors for me." ”

Niu Erhe was puzzled: "I don't know what the adults want." ”

Xu Xiaobai said: "There are still many soldiers trapped in the Mongol formation, if you don't rescue them, I believe many soldiers will also have opinions." ”

Niu Erhedao: "Ten of them are going to attack the Mongolian Great Array, Lord Xu, isn't this too risky." ”

"Adventure." Xu Xiaobai smiled and shook his head, "We are here to save people now, not to fight, if there are many people, it will be easy to be noticed by the Mongols." It is saying that the brothers who are trapped in the array are also human beings, and we should join them on the inside and outside. You don't need to say more, gather the people immediately, and we'll set off later. ”

Niu Erhe definitely has no opinion on going to save people, after all, he is a comrade, and he can't bear to let those soldiers be under the sabers of the Mongols. So knowing the danger, he immediately went out to gather people.

Xu Ping asked, "Do you really want to play?" ”

Xu Xiaobai said: "I said that this time the Mongols attacked, and there was some reason for me, so I have to be a good person from the beginning to the end, and I am still in charge of this matter." You and Leng Yan should also prepare, and we will go together. ”

Thinking that she was going to leave herself down again, when she heard her name being said, Leng Yan was finally secretly happy in her heart. This time with Xu Xiaobai's actions, she has to behave well.

Niu Erhe gathered ten warriors, plus themselves, a total of fourteen people went straight to the Mongolian array. After Xu Xiaobai and others rushed into the formation, the crown prince Zhu Biao got the news, and at this time, he was also shocked, and hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Xu Xiaobai is the emperor's messenger, how can you let Lord Xu be in danger!" In case something happens to him, how can we explain to the emperor! ”

Everyone was speechless, but at this time, they were more or less convinced of Xu Xiaobai in their hearts, but they didn't expect that this adult really disregarded his own safety and went directly to save the besieged soldiers.

One of the generals said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Xu is not all of our border guards, so what else do we have to say." We immediately gathered our troops again and fought into the battle to meet Lord Xu. ”

"Okay, we'll all go." The fighting spirit of the soldiers became high because of Xu Xiaobai's actions.

Prince Zhu Biao was also very excited, and he was also ready to wave his hand to let everyone prepare. And by Zhu Biao's side, Lu Dali and the other eight people had been following Xu Xiaobai for so long after all, and they hurriedly whispered behind Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we have been following Lord Xu for a while, and we know a little about Lord Xu. Lord Xu is strong in martial arts and has extraordinary wisdom. He has always been unthinkable of ordinary people, but he is very jihua, this time he dared to rush into the battle with a few people to save people, presumably he is also sure, if we send someone to answer hastily, maybe it will break Lord Xu's jihua. ”

Zhu Biao was right when he thought about it, and he asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Lu Dali also shook his head: "I'm just talking about my thoughts, what should I do, or ask the prince to decide." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Biao finally decided: "We should believe Xu Xiaobai, so, without his prompt, let's not act rashly, but it is also necessary to prepare in advance, you go back immediately to rectify the people, as long as Xu Xiaobai has any prompts, you will act immediately." ”

Everyone was ordered to leave, and Zhu Biao was still very worried: "I really didn't expect Lord Xu to do his best for the country so much, I must report to my father truthfully after I go back." ”

Lu Dali and others next to him also said: "Lord Xu is a great talent, and it is indeed a blessing for the court to be able to use it for the court." ”

"Well, that's true, I just hope that Lord Xu can come back as soon as possible."

Come back early? Xu Xiaobai is not really in a hurry. Indeed, the Mongolian brigade is once again, and the other people around Xu Xiaobai are indeed a little nervous, but for Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping, if something happens, it's a big deal.

A group of 14 people, they took advantage of the chaos in the Mongol formation and rushed directly into the formation. Xu Xiaobai asked Niu Erhe to quickly find the location of the trapped soldiers, while he personally broke off with Leng Yan and Xu Ping to buy time for everyone.

These soldiers were all men, and when they saw that the commander had broken off for themselves, they suddenly felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and their strength to kill the enemy was even more substantial. After determining the location of the trapped people, Xu Xiaobai took the lead in the battle to save people. Finally, the fourteen men rushed into the formation, and on the premise of losing half of them, they met the trapped people.

The first thing Niu Erhe said when he saw the soldiers was: "Brothers, Lord Xu is here to save you personally." ”

These people didn't know that General Luochuan had died, and after Xu Xiaobai temporarily took the position of leading the army, and personally came to rescue everyone, everyone was moved: "Lord Xu disregarded his own safety and came to save us in person, what are we afraid of." Brothers, let go out and rush out with Lord Xu. ”

"Okay." Everyone was excited. (To be continued......)
