Chapter 144: Going to the Meeting
Ye Ying immediately recognized that the person who fought with him was actually Liu Chuan, the commander he had seen in the Songzhou camp before, and when he was in the backing village, he still had a good impression of this straightforward man.
And when he first saw Ye Ying, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and now Ye Ying is an adult. But Liu Chuan still recognized this young man at once, because this young man left too deep an impression on him back then.
Since Ye Ying left the mountain village, the two have never met again, and in the next few years, Liu Chuan also talked about Ye Ying with Ningyuan General Chen Zhi and military advisor Hu Huaizhi, and they all felt that if this young man joined the army, he would definitely have something to do. But I didn't expect that the two sides would actually meet in this situation.
"...... you" Liu Chuan opened his mouth and spit out a sentence, before he could say anything? It was interrupted.
"Commander, let's get out quickly, their men are coming up." Liu Chuan was interrupted by one of his personal entourage, Liu Chuan looked in the direction of the visitor's finger, borrowing thousands of bandits who were shouting all the way, desperately rushing towards the top of the mountain.
And the soldiers under his command are already scattered at this time, falling into a situation of fighting on their own, if they hesitate any longer, I am afraid that they will not escape the end of the whole army.
"Let's go!" At this point, Liu Chuan knew that he was powerless to return to the sky now, so he glanced at Ye Ying deeply and gave the order to retreat.
After Liu Chuan said this, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the other side of the hillside, and after receiving the order, some soldiers of the Tieshan battalion also immediately got rid of their opponents and followed Liu Chuan to withdraw down the mountain.
But nearly half of the soldiers were surrounded by bandits and could not get out for a while. But these soldiers are still very bloody, just trying their best to break through the encirclement, and none of them are willing to drop their weapons and surrender.
"Let them go!" Seeing this, Ye Ying let out a long sigh, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
The soldiers of the Iron Mountain Battalion and the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society paid a lot of price in this battle, the Flying Eagle Society lost more than 100 men this time, while the Iron Mountain Battalion paid even more, and nearly 200 people remained on the top of this mountain.
In the face of well-equipped officers and soldiers, being able to achieve such a record can be regarded as a big victory for the Flying Eagle Club.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had evacuated, the bandits happily cleaned up the battlefield, and because the officers and soldiers of the Iron Mountain Battalion left in a hurry, they left behind a lot of weapons, food and war horses, which was a lot of wealth for the Flying Eagle Society!
"What, nearly half of your personnel have been lost?" Looking at Liu Chuan kneeling in front of him, Ningyuan General Chen Zhi didn't believe his ears, the Songzhou army hadn't suffered such a defeat for a long time, and Liu Chuan's Tieshan battalion was still the elite under him.
After listening to Liu Chuan talk about the causes and consequences of this defeat, Chen Zhi and Hu Huaizhi, the military advisor beside him, fell into deep thought.
"The first time the camp robbery failed, I actually dared to come the second time, it seems that this flying eagle will have a master, and General Liu is not unjust in losing this battle." After a while, the military advisor Hu Huaizhi said on the side.
Listening to Hu Huaizhi's words, Chen Zhi nodded slightly, Hu Huaizhi's words have the meaning of exonerating Liu Chuan, but the other party is just a bandit, and it is indeed an indisputable fact that he has such a combat mind.
"Although there is a reason for the incident, Liu Chuan's defeat is a fact, and now you have been removed from the position of commander of your battalion and demoted to a deputy position, but for the time being, you will act as the acting of the Tieshan battalion, do you have any opinions?" Chen Zhi turned his head, looked at Liu Chuan who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.
"Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, Liu Chuan will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy to repay today's shame!" After listening to Chen Zhi's words, Liu Chuan immediately said loudly.
"Go down!" Looking at the favorite general in front of him, Chen Zhi didn't know what to say, and waved his hand to let the other party leave.
Liu Chuan stood up and walked outside the big tent, but suddenly stopped at the gate of the village.
"What else do you have to say?" Liu Chuan has followed Chen Zhi for many years, Chen Zhi knows his personality very well, and when he sees his movements, he knows that he must have something to say.
Liu Chuan's next words not only stunned General Ning Yuan Chen Zhi, but also the military advisor Hu Huaizhi on the side.
"You said that the big boss of the Flying Eagle Club was the Ye boy back then." Chen Zhi thought that his ears had heard it wrong.
"Yes, I also had a trick with him, his kung fu is now on par with me, and I have heard these bandits call him a big boss." Liu Chuan's next words made Chen Zhi completely believe in this matter, they had a deep impression of Ye Ying, even after so many years, Liuchuan would not be wrong.
"It's a pity, this kid is a general, but I didn't expect to fall into the grass and become a bandit." Hu Huaizhi, the military advisor, also said regretfully on the side, saying that Ye Ying had a life-saving grace for him back then.
And the Flying Eagle Club is also holding a meeting to summarize the gains and losses of this chapter, and Ye Ying also told the leaders present about meeting Liu Chuan.
"I have been to this large camp of the Songzhou army before, they are indeed a well-trained team, and Ningyuan General Chen Zhi is also a rare general, and his subordinates are also full of talents, and it will take a lot of effort for us to defeat them." Seeing that everyone present was complacent about this victory, Ye Ying poured a basin of cold water on everyone at the right time.
In the next two days, neither side launched another battle, and even if Chen Zhi and the Songzhou army came to camp at the foot of Fuhu Mountain, the Flying Eagle Society did not take the opportunity to attack.
However, the cottage was not idle, the think tanks adjusted the battle plan according to the information provided by Ye Ying, and the commanders of various armies were also conducting targeted intensive training. And Ge Shun and other logistics leaders were busy caring for their brothers who had been killed or wounded, and it was their duty to let these fighters be able to devote themselves to the battle with confidence.
The Flying Eagle Association attaches great importance to the treatment of the injured brothers, and even Ye Ying, a master of some medical skills, personally participated in the treatment of the injured brothers, which moved many injured people to tears.
There are now more than 10,000 fighters in the cottage, and the number of non-combatants who are family members is close to 30,000, and the daily consumption of various materials is a huge amount, but in order to compensate the soldiers' brothers, they still take out a lot of goods and food.
For this point, whether it is Ye Ying or Zhuge Ying, or even Ge Shun, who is the general manager of the rear, they are very supportive, and only if everyone has no worries, they are willing to work hard for the cottage.
The current Flying Eagle will be a cottage, there is another problem, now the expansion speed is too fast, although the area of Fuhu Mountain is very large, but it is a bit stretched to accommodate so many people. Even if some people can be placed in the Flying Star Valley, the pressure on Fuhu Mountain is still very great.
However, at this stage, there is no other way, the officers and soldiers have already deployed heavy troops under Fuhu Mountain, even if they want to send these family members away, there is no way, they can only temporarily get everyone together.
"What, you have to go to Fuhu Mountain in person, this is absolutely impossible." In the Songzhou army camp, Liu Chuan's eyes widened and looked at Chen Zhi, the general of Ningyuan, who was sitting on the upper hand. And beside Liu Chuan, the generals at all levels of the Song Zhou Army showed anxious expressions on their faces.
Chen Zhi is the commander of this army, how can he go deep into the bandits' lair, you must know that the bandits are all murderous guys, and generals at all levels have spoken out to stop them.
"Brothers, don't say it again, I trust my own judgment, even if this matter doesn't work out, I will get out of it." Chen Zhi's attitude was very resolute, he wanted to personally go to Fuhu Mountain to persuade this bandit to accept the imperial court's recruitment.
Chen Zhi was a man of his word, and the things he decided rarely changed, and not only that, but he also rejected the suggestion of sending troops in the battalion to protect him. took Liu Chuan, who had been demoted to deputy commander, and Hu Huaizhi, the military advisor, the two Ye Ying families.
When the brothers in the village came to report. Ye Ying still didn't believe his ears, and now the big battle between the two armies was about to break out. Chen Zhi, as the leader of the other party, actually had the courage to go up the mountain at such a time.
"This General Ning Yuan is really a person, he actually dares to go up the mountain at such a time, it seems that he wants to persuade the big boss to accept the court's recruitment." Zhuge Ying on the side gently shook a feather fan in his hand and smiled softly.
"This is a good opportunity, when the time comes, we will directly kill him, and the officers and soldiers below will retreat without a fight." You Tong, the leader who was sitting on the side and had the title of "Evil Zhong Kui", patted his thigh and said, in his opinion, bandits don't need to pay attention to what two soldiers don't clash.
"It's not good, it's going to be laughed at by the heroes of the world." Chen Gang is an upright person and has always disliked these methods.
At this time, the leaders sitting in the righteous hall were also discussing, and most of them supported Youtong's method, because such an opportunity was really rare.
"Okay, let's stop being noisy, it's up to the big boss to decide what to do." Seeing that everyone was arguing a little unusually, Ge Shun immediately spoke out to stop it.
Ge Shun is the old man of the Flying Eagle Society, although he does not lead troops at present, but his status in the village is still very high, listening to his words, everyone closed their mouths and focused their eyes on Ye Ying, who was sitting on the upper hand.
"Since it's a friend here, how can we not receive it, tell me to prepare wine and food, and all interested brothers will go out with me to greet my family!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ye Ying did not express his attitude, smiled and stood up and said.
Chen Zhi stood at the door of the Flying Eagle Club cottage, looking around carefully, although he didn't say anything, Liu Chuan and Hu Huaizhi on the side could see appreciation in his eyes.
Liu Chuan and Hu Huaizhi have also dealt with bandits over the years. Speaking from their hearts, there were indeed many differences between this Flying Eagle Destiny Cottage and the bandit cottage they had seen before.
Everything is in order here, and along the way, both the combat personnel and the logistics personnel do all kinds of things in order, and this place is not like a bandit cottage, but like a small town with good security.
At this moment, the three of them have such a feeling in their hearts, no wonder this flying eagle will be able to quickly become famous and develop over the years, it seems that there are capable people here.
Looking at everything in front of him, Chen Zhi had a bad premonition, he felt that his line of work might be in vain.
"Haha, General Chen is really you, I thought these brothers under me were joking with me, as well as Master Hu and Brother Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." At this time, a voice sounded from a distance, and Chen Zhi and the three of them immediately stopped their reverie and looked up in the direction where it happened.
"Hehe, it's really you kid, I thought that this famous Flying Eagle Club boss must be a guy with a muddy face, it turned out to be Little Brother Ye back then." Seeing Ye Ying, Chen Zhi immediately laughed and stretched out his arms to meet him.
"After so many years, General Chen is still so imposing and upright!" Ye Ying said as he gave Chen Zhi a gentle hug.
"I see that you kid is laughing at me, after so many years, you are still standing still!" Chen Zhi continued Ye Ying's words and said.
"How dare I laugh at you, General Chen is my childhood idol." Ye Ying said to Chen Zhi again, and then greeted Hu Huaizhi and Liu Chuan beside him.
The group hugged each other and walked in the direction of the Gathering Hall, seeing that the bandits around them looked dazed, how could the big boss become friends with these officers and soldiers again?
