Chapter 524: The Fall Ends and Ends the Chaos (3)
Perhaps because someone was moving together, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi's footsteps were not fast, and every time they passed through a few streets and alleys, the two of them would look behind them.
More than twenty paces behind them, there was a slasher hanging in the distance.
As the initiator of the proposed city head to watch the battle, the pace at the moment is a little leisurely and complacent, and he does not seem to be in a hurry.
Chen Feng seemed to feel that Lin Manliu and the others had turned back a little too much, and the whole body shape immediately stagnated.
He said loudly: "At the beginning of the war, it was not interesting for the two armies to face each other, and at this time, the soldiers and horses in the city still needed to be dispatched, so we went early... Most of them will hinder the military..."
After Lin Manliu thought about it, he proposed to the Yue Hanzhi beside him.
"Later, we can go to General Li first, so that we can inform him in advance to avoid being blocked when we go up to the city!"
Yue Hanzhi responded: "That's the best! ”
Lin Manliu nodded and grinned, then looked at the slasher behind him.
"Brother Chen, let's go to find General Li first, if Brother Chen wants to wander around the city, then we will meet at the West City Gate later!"
Lin Manliu's implication was naturally an eviction order for him, Brother Chen.
Chen Feng was also interested, and he had no idea of continuing to follow, so he picked up the winter snow in his hand and found an alley at random, but it disappeared after a few breaths.
Without the entourage of others, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were relieved, and the pace of progress accelerated.
It only took half a pillar of incense for the two to appear outside the temporary military tent in the west of the city.
The coalition soldiers and horses stationed here are mainly Hebei soldiers of Guan Xiao, Zhou Biao and others, and the sound of iron armor is heard from time to time in the camp at this moment, which is particularly deafening under the echo of the horn.
Without needing Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi to report, two Hebei soldiers soon leaned over to them.
The armorer who was a little at the front of the position was extremely strong, and as long as he was strong for a lap or two, it would be almost the same as the weekly standard.
As soon as he saw Lin Manliu, the whole person burst out laughing.
"Isn't this Lin Shaoxia! But there is something important to pass here, please come in quickly! Come on in! ”
From the beginning of the recovery of the eastern capital, followed by the large and small battles all the way west, the two groups of people and horses of the Southern Cavalry Army and Hebei Jiashi almost all knew that there was such a Lin Shaoxia in Yijian Villa.
It is said that this Lin Shaoxia is at a young age, and he makes a good sword and a good sword, and some junior soldiers in the battalion are not comparable to this Lin Shaoxia at all!
The Lin Shaoxia they passed on by word of mouth was naturally Lin Manliu.
Lin Manliu also recognized the soldier in front of him, who was the soldier who had followed Xu Dashi to transport the parts of the ballista outside the inner city of the Eastern Capital before.
Lin Manliu immediately smiled, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully: "The two of us came here to find General Li... I heard the horn of the battle at the head of the city before, and I wanted to know the situation with General Li! ”
This Hebei soldier admired Lin Manliu a lot, and hurriedly waved his hand to speak.
"General Li has already entered the camp before, and he is discussing important matters of city defense with General Guan at this moment, so I will take you there!"
Lin Manliu nodded, and then took Yue Hanzhi to the military tent where Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao were located.
They had barely approached the tent when they heard a shouting from inside.
"No! Even if Wang Xiao suffered defeats one after another, the black night cavalry under his command is also a big battle force, what is the point of going out of the city to meet the enemy at this moment! ”
Guan Xiao's voice... With whom did the dispute go?
With such doubts, Lin Manliu lifted the curtain of the military tent.
Everyone in the tent noticed the light coming from the entrance, and they all looked at the direction where Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were located.
There are only four people in the tent, close to the main seat are Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao, and those in the back are Zhou Biao and Zheng Kuan.
However, such a silent gaze only lasted for a short breath, and the next moment it was ruthlessly broken by the sound of quarrels.
Zheng Kuan kicked away the chair in front of him, raised his hand and pointed at Guan Xiao's face.
He shouted and said, "The walls of this Shangzhou city are too low, if they rush to attack the city with reinforcements, the casualties will be unpredictable, and you can't know it!" ”
Although there was no anger on Guan Xiao's face, his words were cold and piercing.
"So you're going to take half of your armor to fight outside the city? That Jun Feiyu proposed to go out of the city to meet the enemy, but his men and horses did not move, you still can't see why? ”
Zheng Kuan raised his hand and was about to smash the table on the side, but Zhou Biao reached out to block it, making it impossible to destroy the table.
He had to raise his voice again and continue to ask Guan Xiao questions.
"Along the way, I, Zheng Kuan, can naturally see what that person is thinking, but the prestige in the army is also made by the blade, not by conspiracy!"
Guan Xiao took a deep breath and was about to speak out to continue to reprimand Zheng Kuan, when Li Yanhe, who was beside him, took the lead in making a move.
He had not made a sound all this time, got up and walked to Lin Manliu's position.
Li Yanhe spoke out as he walked, although he looked at Lin Manliu, the words in his mouth were said to Zheng Kuan.
"General Zheng Xiao... No, it should be Zheng Xiaodudu, even if Wang Xiao can be hurt outside the city in this battle, but Hebei Jiashi will inevitably suffer serious casualties, and at this moment it is still in the stage of confrontation between the two armies, and we can still think about it in the long run! ”
Zheng Kuan then looked at Li Yanhe, and he asked a question.
"Excuse me, then... What about the proposal of the King of Northern Yan, our general Zhengxi! ”
Lin Manliu listened to the word "General Zhengxi" in Zheng Kuan's mouth, and the worry in his heart increased a little.
After leaving the Eastern Capital on his own, the relationship between Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao gradually became estranged, and this almost indifferent relationship was also seen by outsiders.
But in fact, this is not the case, the gradual centrifugation of the Nandi light cavalry and the Hebei Jiashi is an expedient measure for Li Yanhe, Guan Xiao and the old liar.
At first, it was to test Jun Feiyu's request, and then after Lin Manliu discussed with him on the cliffside, it naturally turned into bait to lure Jiang Xu to leak out of the horse's feet.
Even if they had expected that there would inevitably be people among the Hebei Jiashi who would do centrifugation, Lin Manliu never thought that it would be one of Zhou Biao and Zheng Kuan.
It's not going to be easy...
Lin Manliu and Li Yanhe glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.
The young man walked into the tent alone and looked at the governor Zheng Xiaodu, who was not much different in age.
Lin Manliu deliberately squeezed out a strange smile and said loudly: "Governor Zheng Xiaodu, but on the previous journey, he didn't get enough military merits?" ”
Zheng Kuan's face sank, and he turned his head to look at Lin Manliu not far away.
He said in a low voice: "It was the two generals who taught me a lesson before, but I don't have anything to say, why do you, Lin Shaoxia, also want to teach me?" ”
Lin Manliu responded: "Don't you dare, I just think that Governor Zheng Xiaodu has inevitably responded a little too much to the proposal of the Northern Yan King, right?" ”
Zheng Kuan's fists were clenched, he could naturally hear Lin Manliu's yin and yang strange qi, but after a while, the green tendons on his arms and forehead had skyrocketed.
"The national thief is outside the city, and I Zheng Kuan has a knife in my hand... Why not kill? ”
Lin Manliu looked at Zheng Kuan's almost angry expression, and sighed secretly in his heart for no reason.
After all, it's just as big as himself, and most of it is a teenager's heart...
Lin Manliu said: "Zheng Xiaodu is eager to supervise the thief, but at this moment, you also need to observe the enemy's movements, if there are ambushes outside the city, causing Zheng Xiaodu to oversee the defeat of the army, implicating the city's defense, what should I do?" ”
Zheng Kuan was just about to speak, but Guan Xiao behind him reached out and held it down.
The latter said: "What Lin Shaoxia said is reasonable, when can you learn from Lin Shaoxia?" Those who are brave and have no plans can not be a good general! ”
After Zheng Kuan glared back, he fell silent and stopped rebutting.
With the ridicule and yin and yang weirdness of Li Yanhe and Lin Manliu, the previous hatred of Zheng Kuan and Guan Xiao quickly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Xiao had the opportunity to speak out again to suppress Zheng Kuan, so that he dispelled the idea of fighting outside the city.
The three of them set up a temporary play, and they sang quite well...
As soon as the quarrel came to an end, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi had the opportunity to learn about the specific situation of the thieves outside the city and the action strategy of the Western Coalition Army.
The attacker was Wang Xiao, who had suffered defeats one after another, and this time he personally led 18,000 horsemen and threatened to conquer the Western Coalition Army to retreat to the east of Gyeonggi overnight and recover all the six cities on the east side of Gyeonggi.
The predetermined strategy of the Western Coalition Army, or the expected tactics of the Northern Yan King, was to let the Hebei Jiashi go out of the city to meet the battle, so as to prevent the first battle from being invaded by the Wuye Cavalry under the gate of Shangzhou.
To be able to spread such a proposal is not so ridiculous among the Western Coalition Army...
Because of this westward journey, all the soldiers who went out of the city to surrender, or the men and horses who took the initiative to submit to Xia Huan, the king of Chu, were all incorporated into the Hebei Jiashi.
In the past, there were only two or three thousand Hebei soldiers, but now it has expanded to as many as 30,000.
Therefore, Jun Feiyu's proposal is not too much of a problem in the eyes of outsiders.
After talking to Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi, the whole person sat back in the main seat of the camp.
He sighed and said, "Alas... Now that the Hebei Jiashi has been given the responsibility of defending the city, if they avoid it and do not fight, they will inevitably be slandered by those who are obedient..."
Zheng Kuan followed and muttered in a low voice: "That's why I said, let me take someone there..."
His voice was very small, as if a child had no courage to argue, and after Guan Xiao's glare, Zheng Kuan practiced the closed-mouth meditation again.
Lin Manliu himself didn't know why, so he remembered this scene in his heart for no reason, and the expression on his face was a little distracted.
Yue Hanzhi noticed the young man's strange appearance, and reached out and pinched his hand under the table.
Lin Manliu shook his head to signal that there was nothing wrong, and then looked at Guan Xiao and Li Yanhe.
"Since the King of Beiyan intends to fight outside the city, General Guan also has his own arrangements for sending troops, you can pay attention to the movements of Wang Xiao and his elite night cavalry in the future, as long as the other party does not move, it should not be a big problem to go out of the city to meet the enemy a little!"
Guan Xiao nodded and responded: "Well, that's exactly what I mean!" ”
Lin Manliu answered: "That's right, the kid came this time, in fact, there is one more thing!" ”
Guan Xiaoyan said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Lin Manliu also learned from Zheng Kuan's appearance, and asked in a low voice: "These days, the kid is mostly competing with others and sharpening his swordsmanship, that person said that he can go to the city today to have a look, so that the kid can also be contaminated with some killing energy, so as to increase the power of the sword move, I don't know..."
Guan Xiao clapped his hands and applauded, and said loudly: "It's easy to say!" However, Lin Shaoxia tried his best to stop in the city tower, and did not rashly approach the edge of the city wall to avoid encountering accidents! ”
Li Yanhe, who was beside him, nodded with Guan Xiao, indicating that he was in line with his thoughts.
Lin Manliu clenched his fists and said: "The kid has thanked the two generals here!" ”
Guan Xiao first smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, but soon suddenly asked out loud: "Although Guan Mou knows that the Moon Woman is as powerful as Lin Shaoxia, she is a woman after all..."
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the moon cold branch.
Yue Hanzhi didn't wait for Lin Manliu to speak, raised the sword in his hand, and looked back at Guan Xiao.
"The sword moves he learned need to be dyed with some killing qi, and mine needs it too!"
For a while, the two people who looked at each other in the camp tent had a somewhat tense attitude.
Lin Manliu hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, blocking between Guan Xiao and Yue Hanzhi.
"I can watch the battle in the city tower with Hanzhi, and it won't hinder General Guan from commanding the battle!"
Li Yanhe also said loudly: "Ahem... Without further ado, I'll go to the castle tower first, and I'll discuss something later? ”
Guan Xiao responded, and took the lead in getting up and walking towards the outside of the tent.
During the conversation, Zhou Biao, who did not make a sound throughout the whole process, waited until Guan Xiao and Zheng Kuan left one after another, and secretly rubbed Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi in the direction where they were, and gave a thumbs up.
I don't know if I am boasting about Lin Manliu's previous yin and yang weirdness, or praising Yue Hanzhi's sassy and heroic appearance.
As Guan Xiao advanced towards the west gate, there were more and more Hebei soldiers behind him, and everyone present was Guan Xiao's cronies, not those who had surrendered and surrendered.
When Lin Manliu and the others walked to the bottom of the city, they happened to see Chen Feng, who had been waiting for a long time.
The black-robed sword-wielding slasher seemed to have just finished the fight, and the right hand of the pestle sword twisted and rotated Dongxuezang from time to time.
Not far from his side, there were two armor guards stationed at the city gate, helping each other rub their arms, and some bruises could be seen on their faces.
Although Li Yanhe guessed in his heart, he still pretended to be puzzled and stepped forward to ask.
"What's wrong with you two? Why can't you stand still? ”
Seeing Guan Xiao and Li Yanhe coming, the two soldiers stood up straight in pain, and one of them began to state what had just happened.
"Report to the two generals, just this Chen... Chen Daxia taught me the knife technique, and my brothers and I learned it..."
Guan Xiao listened to this lame rhetoric, and then showed a helpless expression.
It was obvious that he couldn't stop this black-robed man, but he was taught a lesson, and the rest of the soldiers didn't help because of the war outside the city, or because of the schadenfreude.
Guan Xiao glanced at Chen Feng, and then thought in his heart.
This black-robed man called "Chen Feng", according to the news of the six cities along the way in Gyeonggi, the origin is not simple.
Although he is just a person in the rivers and lakes, he can be passed on by the people of a place.
The negative sword went south, and he slashed the evil Jiao alone... Now the war continues, and they are rushing to rescue the villagers...
Presumably, the heart is not bad, if it can be included in the command in the future, it will be a big help!
