NING Wei,

Pacify the rebellion camp.

Bands of soldiers patrolled back and forth with torches.

The north wind raged on the ground like a cold knife.

In recent days, the war in Ningxia has been going on unsmoothly for several days, with the result that the morale of the army has been weakened and morale has been low.

The imperial court requisitioned 200,000 troops, plus the local garrison, the strength reached 230,000, but for two whole months, not only did not put down the rebellion, but suffered heavy losses.

Especially in the battle of Changfeng Valley, he was ambushed and lost 40,000 soldiers and horses, which reduced the morale of the whole army to an extreme.

Recently, the imperial army had to begin to shrink the defensive line and defend it strictly.

But even so, now the entire camp is panicked and morale is low.

In addition, there was a problem with the grain and grass in the rear, and the White Lotus Sect sent people to constantly attack the route of transporting grain and grass, resulting in the lack of grain and grass in the big camp.

In battlefield confrontations, morale and food and grass supply are indispensable.

Many soldiers are already war-weary.

Inside the big tent,

It was late at night, but the generals were gathered in front of the sand table, frowning.

The candle flame flickered gently.

A man who looked to be in his fifties stood in front of the sand table with a cold face.

A pitch-black armor stomach sets off his whole person extremely burly.

Unlike the rest of the generals in the tent, this man had a thick beard on his chin and a rough face.

This person is the general soldier of Datong, Ma Gui.

After receiving the edict, he hurried all the way to Ningxia.

If it weren't for Ma Gui rushing to Ningxia in time to formulate a strategy, stabilize the morale of the army, and shrink the defense line of the army, the war would have been even more difficult and dangerous now.

Although the defensive line was contracted, the battle situation was stabilized, and the rebels were not allowed to rush out of Ningxia, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Ma Gui's series of measures can be regarded as being recognized by some generals in the army.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent is particularly solemn.

The generals were silent, their faces full of worry, and some of them had a faint fear in their eyes.

"Peng!"

Ma Gui smashed his fist on the sand table, his face was full of anger, and he said angrily, "These demons of the White Lotus Sect!"

During this time, the people of the White Lotus Sect infiltrated the army and carried out assassinations many times, causing panic among the people in the army.

If this continues, many people will not even believe the people around them in the future.

Everyone is afraid that their colleagues around them will fight back, and who dares to fight without scruples.

"General Ma."

"Now that there is a shortage of food and grass, and the food left in the camp can only last for five days, it is better to withdraw the army as soon as possible."

Inside the silent tent, a voice suddenly sounded.

Deputy Chief Soldier Li Yunfeng glanced at Ma Gui and said, "If you drag it out any longer, when the grain and grass run out, I'm afraid that if you don't wait for the enemy army to come, the soldiers in the army will have to mutiny."

Before Ma Gui came to the future, he was in charge of the peaceful wars in Ningxia.

But because the war was not going well, Zhu Yijun transferred Ma Gui to replace Li Yunfeng.

If it weren't for the general protection of the North Army of the DPRK, Li Yunfeng would have been dismissed from office and sent to Beijing to stand trial.

Ma Gui frowned slightly, and said without replying: "If we withdraw at this time, it means that we have to give up the battle line here, and it will be difficult to take it back."

"Then I don't know, what other good plans does Ma Zongbing have?"

Li Yunfeng's words had a little more yin and yang weirdness.

If you can't withdraw, if you don't withdraw and you don't fight, is it just like that?

Ma Gui frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "General Li, soldiers can have this idea, but we as generals can't."

"If even we think about retreating, once the soldiers see it, the morale will inevitably be even lower."

Li Yunfeng glanced at Ma Gui lightly, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart.

How can Ben not understand this truth, and still need you to teach it!

It sounds good, but it's not because of it

for fear of sin.

Transferred from Datong, if the rebellion cannot be quelled and the troops are withdrawn repeatedly, the imperial court will learn about it and will inevitably be held accountable.

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, but it was just a defeat in the war, and there was a temporary change of generals.

Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, Li Yunfeng was originally the commander of the chaos, and now he is replaced by Ma Gui, and he is naturally dissatisfied in his heart.

Mainly because of Ma Gui's background, he was very ostracized in the Northern Army.

Even the hundreds of officials in the court have a lot of complaints about him now.

Especially after the Bibai rebellion, the DPRK and China became more and more resistant to foreign generals.

One of them suddenly said coldly, "If it weren't for the incompetence of the Jinyi Guard, we wouldn't be so passive."

"The White Lotus Sect is so rampant that it has blended into the army, but they can't detect it."

"If you want me to see, Jinyiwei has a lot of responsibility for this matter!"

"If they had been able to find out what was going on in Changfeng Valley, we wouldn't have lost so many people in vain."

"That's enough!" Ma Gui immediately frowned, and said coldly: "Jinyi Wei is the Son of Heaven's own army, and you can discuss it at will!"

"Now is not the time to pass the buck!"

"We should be thinking about how to quell the chaos, not passing the buck to each other here."

He knew very well what the idea of this group of people was.

But putting the blame on Jinyiwei is the most stupid thing.

If it weren't for Jinyiwei's risking his life to reconnoiter the military situation, the battle situation would probably be even more chaotic.

Although there is a first-class army, it is originally drawn from Beijing, Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, and the composition is complex, and the generals do not belong to the same faction.

Obviously, no one is convinced!

The credit is rushed, and when there is a problem, they shirk each other's responsibilities.

All parties also have the intention of preserving their strength, and in comparison, they are more like a rabble.

The faces of the crowd were ugly.

Except for a few people, most of them looked indifferent and looked disdainful.

There are quite a few people who are waiting to see Magui's jokes.

Anyway, even if something happens to the chaos, there will be Ma Gui on top of it, and then they can put all the blame on Ma Gui.

Ma Gui sighed lightly in his heart.

Now the only thing he can mobilize is Datong soldiers and horses.

At this moment, the whole tent suddenly shook slightly, and there was a loud noise outside, and the sound was like a storm crashing on the shore, rolling in.

"Boom!"

Everyone looked shocked.

"It can't be an enemy attack, right?"

Ma Gui's face changed slightly, took his sword, and rushed out of the camp directly.

The crowd also rushed out of the tent.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the camp tent were also alarmed, holding weapons one after another, and their faces were full of vigilance.

It's just clear that many people have a look of fear on their faces.

Ma Gui looked into the distance with all his might, his brows furrowed slightly.

With such a big movement, it is impossible for the forward sentry to not be aware of it.

Even if the sentry can't detect it, the brocade guards are already all around, and with their ability, they will definitely detect it and warn them.

But with such a big movement, there was no warning, could it be that even the secret whistle of the Jinyi guard had been removed?

The roar in my ears became clearer, and the gravel on the ground pulsed gently.

Ma Gui shouted violently, "What are you doing in a daze!"

"Beat the drum and give the order!"

"All troops on alert!"

The sound exploded suddenly.

"Wait!"

Almost as soon as Ma Gui's words fell, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Immediately after, a figure wearing a flying fish suit walked over.

Chai Zhi bowed and said in a deep voice, "Chief Ma!"

"Don't be wary, it's Jinyiwei here."

"Jin Yiwei?" Ma Gui was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Chai Qianhu, the imperial court sent brocade again

The guards are here?"

Chai Zhi smiled slightly, and said proudly, "It's my family—dear!"

"What?" Ma Gui looked startled.

One person quickly came to his mind.

Now this person's reputation is like thunder.

The people around also looked at each other.

The decree of the imperial court was carried by Lin Mang this time, so it was not transmitted to the Ningxia military camp.

Soon, the crowd came to the front of the gate.

In the darkness, a behemoth galloped and was fierce.

If you look down from above, you will see that it is like a lightning bolt.

Behind it, a torrent of black.

The cloak hunts in the wind!

The neighing of the war horse!

Hoofs thunder!

Thousands of people rushed towards the barracks, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of dozens of zhang.

The war horse galloped, swept by the wind, accompanied by bursts of biting murderous aura.

No one had any flags to identify themselves, but the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife were quite conspicuous.

"What's that?"

The discerning soldier looked ahead and cried out in horror.

"Monsters!"

"Monsters!"

Many people have never seen Pixiu, and when they first saw Pixiu, they only felt a terrifying momentum rushing towards them.

In front of him, he felt as if he was insignificant.

However, there are many people who came from Beijing and still recognize Pixiu.

Everyone's faces immediately changed.

One was shocked, "It's that one!"

Pixiu, this is the mount of the Jinyi Guard's envoy.

Although Lin Mang has been promoted to command, most people's news is still stuck in the post of pacification envoy.

What's more, rather than commanding the affairs, the position of pacifying the military power is more important.

Smoke and dust are billowing up!

"Roar~"

Pixiu let out an earth-shattering roar, like thunder, and the substance-like sound waves spread like ripples.

The thunder and lightning under the hooves are particularly dazzling in the dark night.

The soldier who got close subconsciously covered his ears.

At this time, Ma Gui also saw Lin Mang's face clearly.

Perhaps many people's first impression is young, but in Ma Gui's eyes, he felt an inexplicable chill.

"This official Jin Yiwei commands the affairs, Lin Mang!"

Lin Mang stood on Pixiu's back, looked down on everyone condescendingly, and said in a deep voice, "Holy parable!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly knelt down on one knee.

Lin Mang slowly glanced at everyone, and said indifferently: "Order Datong General Soldier Ma Gui to serve as Ningxia Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Li Rusong to serve as Ningxia Commander-in-Chief."

"Because Li Rusong has not yet arrived, the battle in Ningxia is temporarily under the command of Ma Gui, the deputy commander-in-chief, and this officer will serve as the supervising army."

Ma Gui said loudly, "The minister's decree!"

At this time, the brocade guards in the rear gathered.

Suddenly, a strong evil aura rushed to the face, and the murderous face gave people a sense of invisible oppression.

Ma Gui glanced slightly, and his heart was shocked.

The killing intent in the eyes of these people, even many elites of a hundred battles, did not possess it.

During this time, he had also seen a lot of brocade guards, but there had never been a moment when he had such a strong feeling.

Lin Mang turned over and jumped off Pixiu, and walked directly towards the tent.

Ma Gui shook his head and followed.

The generals got up one after another, glanced at each other, and silently followed.

Lin Mang walked into the big tent quickly, lifted his cloak, sat down directly on the chair, and asked, "General Ma, how is the battle going?"

Seeing this scene, the generals frowned slightly.

Ma Gui shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic."

"The people of the White Lotus Sect have destroyed the grain and grass routes many times, and now the food in the camp can only last for five days."

Lin Mang said: "This official left Beijing this time, and specially brought twenty of the latest artillery pieces from the ordnance superintendent."

At this time, Tang Qi walked in from outside the tent and arched his hand, "My lord, the two thousand brocade guards have been assembled."

Lin Mang looked at Ma Gui and said, "Chief Ma, the official in the army will leave a thousand brocade clothes to guard."

Ma Gui was surprised, "Lord Lin has a plan?"

Lin Mang got up and came to the sand table and said, "This official also got a message from Jinyiwei along the way, and he has some understanding of the battle situation in Ningxia."

"Since the enemy destroys the grain and grass routes, then we will give back to them in the same way."

"This official has studied the map, this place is not far to the east, is the granary of the Ningxia rebels, as long as this place is destroyed, the rebels will rush to help, and General Ma can lead the army to attack."

Ma Gui muttered, "Lord Lin, this Hanshan Fort is heavily guarded, and with only two thousand brocade guards, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

In fact, he also has some ideas about this place, but Hanshan Fort has a full 30,000 troops stationed, and if he wants to fight a battle, he must at least double the number of troops.

Although Ma Gui is a martial artist, his personal strength is not weak, but he still lacks enough understanding of the combat power of the great grandmaster.

After all, there are very few great masters on the battlefield nowadays, and most of them only exist in ancient records.

Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and a sneer flashed in their eyes.

Although Lin Mang is a Jinyi Guard, he is only a Jinyi Guard.

I don't know about the military!

The word came to everyone's minds.

If it was so easy, they would have captured Hanshan Fort a long time ago.

In recent days, the war has suffered setbacks one after another, and the generals in the army are actually holding back their anger in their hearts.

Now Lin Mang has the meaning of "pointing out the country" as soon as he comes, which makes everyone even more annoyed.

In this way, it is as if they are incompetent.

Lin Mang got up and said, "Don't worry, Chief Ma, since this official dares to act like this, he is naturally sure."

"Once this official breaks through Hanshan Fort, he will send a message with a flying eagle, and the rebels will definitely rush to help, and General Ma's troops can raise troops to advance and capture the thirteen forts in front in one fell swoop."

Along the way, he was studying the situation in Ningxia, and the news of Jinyiwei continued to come with flying eagles.

If you want to break the game, breaking through Cold Mountain Fort is the best choice.

If the food from Hanshan Fort can be transported, it can also alleviate the plight of the army.

Even if the grain and grass in the rear are transported day and night, it will take about seven days to arrive.

Without food and grass, these nearly 200,000 people, let alone fighting, are likely to surrender.

With his current strength, even the Three Realms of Heaven and Man are not without the power to fight.

Unless these 30,000 people are all grandmasters, it is not difficult for a great grandmaster to break through the army alone.

"Lord Lin."

At this moment, a general stood up and arched his hand: "Jinyiwei is now a scout in the army, responsible for reconnoitring the military situation, you have taken so many at once, I'm afraid something is wrong, right?"

In his opinion, going to Hanshan Fort with two thousand brocade guards is to die in vain.

It is said that this is reckless and impulsive, and it seems that this is really the case.

Lin Mang glanced at the person who spoke, and said coldly, "It's best to shut your stinky mouth!"

"Put away your filthy thoughts, too!"

"This official is here to quell the rebellion, not to play with you!"

Lin Mang's expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes were like torches, his cold face was filled with a thick murderous aura, and his tone was calm:

"No more nonsense, Lao Tzu chopped you!"

He knew what this group of people were thinking, and they didn't think about quelling the chaos, but instead wanted to fight for power and profit, suppress and eliminate dissidents.

The war has been going on for more than two months, and it has not been settled for a long time, is it really difficult to fight?

For some, the longer the war drags on, the better it will be for them.

War exploits, military salary!

As well as collusion with enemy forces!

He sent Jinyiwei into the army, not just to reconnoiter the military situation.

But now he is so focused on counterinsurgency that he doesn't bother to pay attention to this group of guys for the time being.

The faces of the crowd were ugly.

The person who had just spoken looked even more gloomy.

A smile appeared on Ma Gui's face, and he glanced at everyone with interest.

Let's kick it to the iron plate.

These guys stay in the army, thinking that they have military power, and they are used to being arrogant, and they all want to use others to elevate themselves.

During this time, he was also angry, but because of his identity, he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

He was already squeezed out, but now when he first came to the army, if he disposed of a large number of generals, he would inevitably be suspected of fighting for power and profit.

However, these people also disobeyed his orders.

But he can't really remove all the generals and generals, and without the generals, who will lead the army.

But even he didn't expect that Lin Mang would tear his face directly.

The general who had just spoken felt a little unbearable on his face, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Lin, the lower official is just suggesting......

Before the words fell, a terrifying momentum suddenly rose in the tent.

Everyone only felt a black shadow flash in front of them, and then they saw the general who had just spoken lying on the ground.

Lin Mang stepped on his head, exuding a cold aura that was not close to the living.

Everyone was taken aback.

Seeing this scene, I was even more angry.

After all, they come from the same faction, and the army is very xenophobic but also extremely grouped.

Li Yunfeng's tone was slightly cold: "Lord Lin, this is a military camp, not the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division!"

Ma Gui was also slightly stunned, and was secretly shocked in his heart.

It seems that the rumors are true.

Lin Mang's gaze slowly swept over, and he said coldly: "This time to quell the rebellion, Your Majesty has promised me the right to kill first and then play!"

"Don't use any more brocade guards who don't have the right to dispose of them as an excuse!"

"Jin Yiwei takes people, no excuses!"

"No one can stop anyone who the official wants to kill!"

Lin Mang looked down at the figure on the ground, and fell with one foot.

"Kacha!"

With a crisp sound of bone cracking, the general who fell to the ground let out a wail.

Although he did not die, he could not recover from this injury for several months.

The eyes of the crowd were torn apart.

Some people look at Ma Gui, and Ma Gui is in a state of looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, as if he can't see it.

Lin Mang slowly moved his feet and said calmly, "The new official has taken office with three fires."

"This first fire starts with you!"

Lin Mang held the embroidered spring knife in one hand, turned around and walked out of the big tent, and the cold words came:

"Ma Zongbing!"

"If anyone does not obey the order, you can inform the officer!"

"Jin Yiwei's sword, Shang Li!"
