Chapter Ninety-Two: Eliminating Internal Troubles
Not long after Sun Yonglei set off with his troops, Lin Xu had already gotten the news through the pre-arranged probes, and also knew the approximate number of Sun Yonglei's army.
"Big brother, this time Sun Yonglei personally went out, obviously to fight us to the death, we must ask Marshal Lin Chonglin for support. Wang Lung suggested to Lin Xu.
"Yes, Sun Yonglei has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but we only have 3,000, more than three times as many as us. If Marshal Lin hadn't sent troops to support us, this battle would have been unfought. Leopard Print completely agrees with Wang Lung.
"Then tell me, how many soldiers and horses should we ask Marshal Lin to send to support, so that we can win against Sun Yonglei's army of 10,000 people?" Lin Xuan asked Wang Long and Leopard Print.
The two thought for a while, and Wang Lung spoke first: "At least 5,000 additional soldiers and horses must be dispatched." When the time comes, our 8,000 soldiers and horses will fight against Sun Yonglei's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we will be sure of victory. ”
"I don't think 8,000 soldiers and horses are enough insurance, it's best to let Marshal Lin send 7,000 more soldiers and horses, so that we also have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we can definitely defeat Sun Yonglei, so that he will have no return and disappear completely. Leopard added.
Everyone knows that there is great power in the number of people, and the more the better, but when Lin Xuan heard this, he could only smile bitterly. He said to Wang Long and Leopard Print, "According to what I know about Lin Chong, he only wants to defend Qingfeng City now, and almost wants to give up our border areas. If he's willing to send troops to support us, that's good, and we don't expect him to send too many. ”
Although Lin Xu seemed a little pessimistic when he said this, Wang Lung and Leopard felt that what he said also made sense. I still don't have too much hope for Lin Chong, lest I feel too disappointed when I get it.
Lin Xu then sent Song Xianyang to Qingfeng City to explain to Lin Chong that Sun Yonglei had come to attack the kamikaze camp with an army of 10,000 people, and asked him to send troops to support him immediately.
Within a day, Song Xianyang returned to the kamikaze camp to report to Lin Xu, although Lin was willing to send troops to support, but only sent a mere 2,000 soldiers and horses, and also sent an additional battalion commander, named Meng Liangfei. This is obviously to restrain Lin Xuan and prevent Lin Xuan from giving full command.
This was completely expected by Lin Xu, and he didn't feel too disappointed. But for Wang Long and Leopard Print, the feeling is not so calm. They were all shouting and scolding Lin Chong for being despicable and shameless, not taking the kamikaze camp who was struggling to guard the border seriously, and almost completely ignoring it.
However, Wang Lung and Leopard Print scolded and scolded, and they could only vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Because no matter how loud they scolded, Lin Chong wouldn't hear it. They didn't have the guts to go directly to Qingfeng City to find Lin Chong's theory.
Now they still have to be under the leadership of Lin Xu to see how to fight Sun Yonglei more skillfully and effectively.
Although there were 2,000 people in a large battalion brought by Meng Liangfei, they were all recruits with little training, and their discipline was sloppy, and they obviously did not have much combat effectiveness, which could not be compared with the kamikaze battalion at all. It may be that a brigade of 500 men in the kamikaze battalion is much stronger than the 2,000 men brought by Meng Liangfei.
Not to mention Lin Xu, even Wang Lung and Leopard Print felt cold after seeing it. They finally understood that it was probably the same with or without support, and if they wanted to defeat Sun Yonglei in the end, they still had to rely on Lin Xuan and themselves, and they didn't want to expect Meng Liangfei to play much of a role.
Sun Yonglei was much more cunning than the people who had led troops to attack the kamikaze camp before. More than ten miles away from the kamikaze camp, he first found a high ground to set up camp, and then sent a vanguard to spy on the situation.
As a result, the traps laid out by the kamikaze battalion on the main road in advance were all discovered by Sun Yonglei's vanguard and all scrapped.
"Hehe, Lin Xuan still wants to use traps to calculate me, I won't be so easily fooled, just wait to be eliminated by me this time." After Sun Yonglei broke Lin Xu's trap array, he looked very proud.
He sent his troops to fill all the traps before letting the group continue their march towards the kamikaze camp. This allowed him to approach the kamikaze camp almost without losing a single soldier.
Lin Xu couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Sun Yonglei had found the traps and filled them all in. He sighed softly and said to his subordinate captains: "It seems that Sun Yonglei is much more cunning than the enemies we have dealt with before, and we must be prepared for hard battles." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, we will definitely obey your command, I believe that with you leading us to fight, we will definitely be able to defeat Sun Yonglei. Wang Long made a statement on behalf of all squadron leaders.
The situation was urgent, and Lin Xu felt that he had to take advantage of Sun Yonglei's arrival when the soldiers were tired to give the enemy a head-on blow, so as to defeat Sun Yonglei's arrogance.
Lin Xu immediately took Wang Long and others to discuss with Meng Liangfei, and prepared to personally lead troops to meet Sun Yonglei.
Unexpectedly, Meng Liangfei's attitude made Lin Xu and the others feel extremely angry. He actually said to Lin Xu very arrogantly: "I am a battalion commander, I will not personally lead the troops to fight the enemy, if you want to fight now, then you can go first, I will see the situation later and then decide." ”
"You are the battalion commander, and our eldest brother Lin is also the battalion commander, he can personally lead the troops to charge into battle, why can't you?" Leopard Print's temper has always been very irritable, and when he heard Meng Liangfei's words, he immediately became angry.
"Bold, there's no place for you to speak. Meng Liangfei did not answer the leopard print directly, but scolded loudly.
"He's the deputy commander of the Kamikaze Battalion, why don't he have the right to speak? Don't forget, this is still the territory of the Kamikaze Battalion, not Qingfeng City. Although Lin Xuan was already suppressing the anger in his heart, he still couldn't help but remind Meng Liangfeidao. Or rather, this is his warning to Meng Liangfei.
"Well, if you want to say anything, just go out and say it, anyway, I won't lead the troops with you. Meng Liangfei simply put on a very unreasonable attitude to deal with Lin Xu.
"Big brother, let's just kill him, otherwise, we won't be able to mobilize those 2,000 soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to us having to use 3,000 men to meet the enemy who is several times our size. Wang Lung immediately suggested to Lin Xu.
At this time, he didn't have to shy away from Meng Liangfei, he directly made this suggestion to Lin Xu in front of Meng Liangfei, and he was not afraid that Meng Liangfei would hear it. Because they and Meng Liangfei have obviously fallen out.
"Yes, big brother, kill him, we will be quiet, and we can concentrate on dealing with Sun Yonglei. Leopard completely agreed with Wang Lung's statement, and said in agreement.
Lin Xu knew that Sun Yonglei's army was about to arrive, and he didn't have much time to think about it. He made a quick decision and decided to accept Wang Lung and Leopard's suggestion to kill Meng Liangfei.
Lin Xuan immediately pulled out his sword and said coldly to Meng Liangfei: "Since you are not here to help the kamikaze camp, you are the enemy of the kamikaze camp, make a move." ”
Wang Lung and Leopard Wen saw that Lin Xu had already drawn their swords, so they showed their weapons together, preparing to help Lin Xuan kill Meng Liangfei together.
However, Lin Xuan felt that there was no need for this, and said to Wang Lung and Leopard Print: "You don't have to make a move, I'll come by myself, lest he say that we will bully him together." ”
"Lin Xu, this is what you have to do first, kill you, and the entire kamikaze camp will belong to me. Meng Fei also had a little abacus in his heart, and he even had the heart to get rid of Lin Xu.
From this point of view, Meng Liangfei did not intend to help Lin Xuan deal with Sun Yonglei from the beginning. The first thing he wanted to do was how to swallow the kamikaze camp. Lin Chong sent such a person to meet the enemy, which really made Lin Xuan feel too disappointed.
After Lin Xu heard Meng Liangfei's words, he became even more determined to kill him, and felt that his choice was completely correct and he had not done anything wrong at all.
Meng Liangfei's intention to kill Lin Xuan seemed to be even more urgent, and he didn't wait for Lin Xuan to make a move, so he launched an attack on Lin Xuan first. He stepped forward, approached Lin Xu, and stabbed the long sword in his hand into Lin Xu's chest, as if he really wanted to stab Lin Xuan to death at once.
Meng Liangfei is just a sword spirit, and Lin Xu is already a sword soul, and he is not at the same level at all, which is really beyond his strength.
Lin Xu showed a sneer on his face, looking very confident. Even without the help of Wang Lung and the brothers of Leopard Print, he was very sure of defeating Meng Liangfei.
Lin Xuan flew upward, dodging Meng Liangfei's sword stabbed at close range, and at the same time counterattacked him, the sword slashed, and a sword light flew towards Meng Liangfei.
"Dang!"
Meng Liangfei couldn't dodge and was hit by Lin Xu's sword light. However, he only took a few steps back and didn't seem to be hurt much.
It turned out that Meng Liangfei was wearing a black armor covered with very hard scales, which turned out to be an expensive guide with strong defensive power. If it is to be purchased in the bazaar, such an armor will cost at least more than 300,000 gold coins, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
According to Lin Xu's understanding, Fenglu, the battalion commander of the Shenghua Empire, is not very high, and he can't afford such a high-grade guide at all, and the only thing that can explain the armor on Meng Liangfei's body is that he used some extraordinary means to get it, in short, it will not be obtained through legitimate channels.
"Haha! No matter how strong your attack is, you can't cut through the armor. Meng Liangfei was very proud, and even said to Lin Xu with a smile on his face.
He was slashed by Lin Xuan with blue ice just now, not only did he take a few steps back, but his whole body qi and blood were shocked, but he quickly regained his calm. After he stood firm, he secretly found that he was not injured, so he felt so proud, so he sneered at Lin Xu.
Leopard Print watched from the side, and couldn't help but worry about Lin Xu, and said to Wang Lung: "This bastard seems to be a little difficult to deal with, let's see the right time to help the eldest brother." ”
As he spoke, Leopard took out his mace, and almost couldn't help but rush up to help Lin Xuan beat Meng Liangfei.
"Don't worry, if the eldest brother can't deal with him, then we may also cause chaos to the eldest brother, but disrupt his plan, we must be cautious. Wang Lung whispered a reminder of the leopard print.
