An old man stood in front of the window, looked at the troops walking outside, kept nodding his head, and said to a sturdy young man behind him: "Go ahead! Take your brother with you! Such a unit is worth showing your strength!"
The young man's eyes in the dark were as bright as cheetahs, and he shook his head lightly as he looked at the old man, and whispered: "Don't worry, I'll follow them for a few days to see if they are making a show!" Daddy, we only have these five hundred people left, what will you do once you leave?"
"'Bastard' account!" The old man's face was already gloomy, and he glared at the young man and said: "Mo Yu, can't you tell which is more important and which is more important? We, old men, have lived all our lives without waiting for the Lord to appear, and when we are old, the Lord has already come, do you want to miss it?"
Mo Yu lowered his head and said, "I just... I'm afraid you'll be bullied again..."
The old man smiled, shook his head and said to Mo Yu: "In this southwest border, we miners have always been the target of bullying, are you very aggrieved?
"No, Dad, you told me that our swords are meant to be cut at the enemy's neck, and our blood is to be poured on the battlefield! Those are just the people, and they only think of bullying us for fear of being bullied! So I don't hate them! I'm just afraid that we are all gone, and you will, Daddy..." Mo Yu's straight spine trembled slightly, and his words were full of reluctance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info--
The old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "I tell you that this time it is the Lord of the Ming Dynasty who is here, which means that the father will live a good life in the future! If the old man's vision is wrong, then you will kill him, with your skills, it is not difficult to 'mix' to his side!"
Mo Yu's eyes showed a chill in the dark night, nodded solemnly, and said to his father, "Okay!"
Not only Huazhou, but even in the dangerous town, the Xuan army also did not stay in the city, even if they passed by during the day, they had to just let the people avoid it, and did not let them go out to meet them.
Marched early in the morning and set up camp in the evening. At noon, they usually do not rest, eat and walk with dry food and water, and at night they should be able to pass through a city, or reach the city without entering the city, and camp outside the city.
The five towns in the southwest, from this town to the next town, basically it takes a whole day to travel, which is the shortest, and some places take two days. This side is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many mountains and forests, this is still the road that the Qilin Army has opened up in front, otherwise it will be even slower!
The route of this expedition is equivalent to turning a large circle along the border in the southern section of the Central Plains, and most of the time you have to pass through the mountains and mountains, fortunately avoiding some of the larger mountain systems, otherwise it would take several days and nights to get out in the mountains alone!
The weather began to get hotter and hotter, and Xiao Bao's idea was to pull the troops down the Domain Sacred Pass before the arrival of the great heat! Together with the Tiger Courage Army, there were five or six hundred thousand Central Plains soldiers stationed at the Domain Sacred Pass, and coupled with the scorching sun overhead, no matter how fierce Hu Xiao people were, they would not have the courage to attack the Central Plains!
There is still nearly a month or so to reach the summer heat, so it seems that the time is enough, but Xiaobao also knows that the march of the large army is still very fast at the beginning, and the slower it will be, the more sleepy people will be, and the time to rest will be longer and longer.
Experienced generals will suppress the speed of the troops' march, control the rhythm, and it seems that the speed is not fast, but from the whole point of view, it always seems to be a rapid march, and it can always reach the predetermined place at the expected time, just like the current Xuan army.
Five days later, the army finally left Fengdian City and marched to the next stop, Huailu Town, which was three hundred miles away, not too far, but it was more difficult to walk, and it took almost a whole day for fast horses, and it took longer for the army.
Twilight had set up camp on a flat ground, and had just set up his tent when a rapid flutter of wings came from outside, "Coo-goo!" and a dove stopped at Shi Wuce's hand.
There is a small copper pipe tied to the pigeon's 'leg', and there is a thin sheepskin inside, with a few lines of small characters written on it, Shi Wuce took it to the fairy sheep next to him, smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the big tent next to him, stood at the 'door' and said: "Emperor Yu, the vanguard of the Qilin Army has arrived in Huailu Town and joined General Tong Xiaofeng!"
Xiaobao opened the curtain and walked out, and Xianyang 'handed over' the parchment letter to him. Xiaobao looked at it for a while, frowned and asked, "Huailu found a large number of Yin troops fifty miles ahead, about 50,000 people, where did these people come from?"
Xianyang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what does it mean that they are camped fifty miles away? Are they just here to get in the way? Or are they waiting for someone? There is still a large army coming?"
"It should be waiting for someone!" Long Jiao and Long San also came over when they heard the sound, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Otherwise, 30,000 people will beat us 100,000 people, and it will be a mantis arm blocking the car!"
Shi Wuce shook his head and said to the two: "It's not that simple! The Qingzhou Tiger Courage Army is fighting against Hu Xiao, and the Heaven Breaking City Yuantai has agreed to close the city no matter what, where did these 30,000 people come from? They ran to Huailu, which means that either something happened to the Tiger Courage Army, or there is a problem with the Heaven Breaking City!"
Immortal Sheep and Long Jiao and Long San also looked at each other and nodded, although these two aspects are not allies of the Xuan Army, but their role should not be underestimated!
If the Xuan army arrives at the Domain Saint Pass, the 50,000 people in the Heaven Breaking City will form a momentum of attacking up and down with the Yin army, although there are not many soldiers, but once the battle really starts, the trouble is not small, the Xuan army is attacked on three sides, and the anxiety is indispensable!
Not to mention the role of the Tigers, it can be said that their attitude directly determines the success or failure of the whole battle, and Xiaobao does not dare to be sloppy at all!
Xianyang smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then let's find out the details of them! Anyway, if we want to leave, let the Qilin Army pull out, leaving the Xuanwu Army to join us, Emperor Zun..."
"Don't ask me!" Xiaobao waved his hand, looked at the fairy sheep and said: "Don't forget this battle, you are the marshal! My current identity is at most a battle overseer, and you have full authority to issue all military orders!"
Xianyang took a deep breath, nodded to Xiaobao, and then looked at the military advisor and said, "Please ask the military advisor to write a letter back and tell General Tong that there is no need to confront each other, and when the battle is fought, the battle will be fought! Go north to the Holy Pass of the Domain, camp outside Qingzhou City, and wait for the army!"
"Okay!" Shi Wuce nodded, he also understood the intention of the fairy sheep, this was a safer measure, because once he entered the Domain Saint Pass, it was equivalent to 'handing' his back to the Tiger Courage Army and the Heaven Breaking Defenders, if they really didn't understand, the Qilin Army would be equivalent to clutching other people's pockets!
Don't dare to do this kind of stupid thing! The soldiers are stationed outside the city of Qingzhou, and it will serve as a deterrent to the Yin army and the Tiger Courage army, if the king of Shujing has the heart to surrender, or if he follows Xiaobao's advice, he will not do anything to the Xuan army!
"Whew!" The wind swept overhead, and the earth kite descended, stood in front of Xiao Bao and arched his hand, saying: "Emperor Zun, I found a group of people in the back, who have been following us for five days and five nights!
Xiaobao and the others all looked at each other strangely, the soldiers in civilian clothes, where did they come from, and what was the purpose of following them?
"How many of them?What kind of weapons are they holding?,Have you come into contact with the army?" asked Xiaobao with a frown.
The earth kite shook his head and said: "No, I followed all the way from Gu'an, and I thought it was the people who were going to Fengdian, so I didn't tell the emperor, but just told the troops behind the palace to pay attention, and now they are coming for us! Just now, they have been controlled by General Ye Wushuang, and they have not resisted!"
Xiao Bao nodded, and said to the guard at the 'door' of the tent next to him: "Inform Ye Wushuang and ask him to invite someone over!" Don't embarrass them, since they haven't moved, just following, there should be no ill will towards us!"
After a while, Ye Wushuang came over with a group of people, stood in front of Xiaobao, bowed down and said, "Emperor, the people have been brought." There are more than 400 people in the back!"
Xiao Bao's eyes widened, five hundred! What are these people doing? His eyes looked at the group of young people in front of him, although they were coarse and linen, and the patches on their bodies were sewn layer after layer, but they couldn't hide their fierce momentum, and there were only ten people, standing in front of Xiao Bao and the generals, to make people feel like they were breathing sluggishly!
Xiao Bao looked at these ten people with interest, although their appearances were different, but their figures seemed to be carved out of a mold, and their arms were almost thicker than other people's big 'legs', and they felt very strong.
The first person looked at Xiaobao calmly, his eyes were full of fierce looks, and he was a little shrewd, his lips were pursed tightly, and the facial features on his face were like knives cut into stone, with sharp edges and corners!
"Are you following us?" Xiaobao looked at the young man with a slight smile, his eyes were full of curiosity, "After following us for five days and five nights, what do you want to get?"
"Join the army!" the young man replied simply and neatly, his chest was raised high, his back was straight, and he looked at Xiaobao's face without a trace of expression, but his tone was full of firmness, as if Xiaobao would stand here and not leave if he didn't agree to them!
Long Jiao took two steps forward, stood in front of the young man, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Join the army, if you want to participate, we will go directly to the Styx Lake to sign up, why do you want to follow the army?"
The young man's face showed a proud look, his eyes looked directly at the dragon horn and said, "We don't need to go to the Styx Lake to participate in the new military camp, we can directly fight!"
At this moment, the movement here has attracted a lot of soldiers from the surrounding area, and everyone has gathered around, and an lieutenant named Ran Yangchi of the Flying Dragon Soldier snorted coldly and said: "You say you don't need it, you don't need it? This battlefield is not a joke, you don't even know how to protect yourself without going through the new military camp!"
"I don't need to say no, I don't need to! On the battlefield, I don't need to protect myself, I just need to protect my generals and kill my enemies!" the young man said categorically, his eyes couldn't even look at Ran Yangchi, just staring at Xiaobao.
"Why are you? You're just a bunch of miners!" Ran Yangchi saw the dress of these people, and his eyes showed an angry look.
He didn't blame these people for being rude to him, but purely for their good! Because once he went to the battlefield, the sword had no eyes, and he could not come back alive with just a ruthless and arrogant spirit, and if he did not participate in some of the most basic battlefield skills, he would only go up and die!
