After entering Baiyun Town, Iron Head had the illusion that his troops had crossed the territory of his ardent allies and entered the hostile territory of Celestial. The people of this wolf clan border town made no secret of their hatred and hatred for this army of the Rising Sun, which was in great contrast to the enthusiasm of the people of Kazeno City.

The iron head knows why. The truth that milk is a mother works everywhere, especially for the civilians of the town. There is a rare prosperity and wealth in the northern land of the wolf clan, which is due to the good relationship between the people here and the spirit of the green mountains. Over the past decade or so, it has become a haven of wanderlust and pleasure in the green hills, nourishing the land and its people with the wealth looted from the wealthy merchants and nobles of the Rising Sun Empire.

In a sense, they have formed an alliance with the Qingshan Geist, and once the Rising Sun succeeds in suppressing the bandits, all the qiē they have will be wiped out along with the Qingshan Geist. Therefore, in the previous operations of the Rising Sun to suppress the wandering spirits of the green mountains, they all resolutely stood on the side of the bandits, some of them were informants, and some were secretly saboteurs.

For the generals of the Rising Sun who were ordered to suppress the bandits before, how to deal with the people here is a headache. But the iron head likes this kind of environment. After his troops entered the town, they not only did not commit any crimes, but also showed the greatest kindness to their allies.

The town was not brought under military control by the presence of the Rising Sun's army, and many people were overjoyed. And the attitude of the officers and soldiers of the Rising Sun made them even more relieved. So, what to do, or what to do. A few days later, pieces of information about the Rising Sun Army flew from Baiyun Town to Daqingshan.

Yang Zifeng quickly figured out the number, establishment, and weapons of the Rising Sun army in Baiyun Town.

"What is this kid Meng Yi thinking? Want to kill us with a force of 300 people? Is he a muddy ghost in Qingshan?" At the pre-war meeting in Daqingshan, Zhang Mazi, the commander of the third company, who had listened to the report on the enemy's situation, said with a disdainful expression.

"This famous general's use of soldiers is indeed unusual. The commander of the first company, Chen Letian, obviously supported Zhang Mazi's point of view, "Three thousand wind spirit iron cavalry were placed on the periphery to blockade, but only three hundred people were stationed in Baiyun Town. Does he look down on us, or does he want us to look down on him?"

"Intelligence shows that these three hundred people are very different from the Wind Spirit Iron Horseman. Qian Mi, the commander of the second company, disagreed with the views of the two, "Moreover, after this unit was stationed in Baiyun Town, it did not do everything possible to block the news as usual, what does this mean? Could it be that the commander of this unit is stupid? It is impossible for Meng Yi to use a stupid person, which can only show that he and the commander of this unit have considerable confidence in this unit." Therefore, I believe that we must not be careless, let alone underestimate the enemy. ”

"I think we can wait and see, and if they don't take the initiative to attack, I'll ask the department to launch a tentative attack. Han Dagang, the commander of the fourth company, took the initiative to ask for battle while expressing his opinions.

After listening to the words of the four company commanders, Yang Zifeng's eyes turned to his deputy Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu, what are you thinking?"

Zhang Yu raised his head, worried.

"Weird. He spat out two words softly.

"Why do you say that?" Yang Zifeng asked.

"Everyone knows that Meng Yi is very powerful, but they don't know where he is powerful. The Battle of the Wind Spirit made him famous all over the world, but no one knew what happened to that battle, and it seemed that there was a huge secret hidden in it. Even some of the generals of the Rising Sun were talking in private, saying that Meng Yi was terrible. Because they believe that there are only two possibilities for subduing the Wind Spirit Clan without bloodshed. The first is that there is a miracle, and the second is that Meng Yi has a powerful power far beyond the Wind Spirit Clan, so that the Wind Spirit Clan, which is facing the catastrophe, has to choose to surrender. I, on the other hand, prefer to believe that it is the former, not the latter. Zhang Yu smiled bitterly.

"Is it possible that the Wind Spirit Clan has long had the idea of returning to the Rising Sun Empire after a hundred years of war. And Meng Yikai's conditions just met their requirements?" Yang Zifeng muttered. Not knowing the enemy's strength is like being blindfolded on the battlefield, and before figuring out Meng Yi's plan, his battle plan is only two words: hold on.

"It's hard to say. Judging from the treatment that the Wind Spirit Clan received in the Rising Sun Empire after its return, there is such a possibility. Zhang Yu responded.

"Then what are we going to do? attack or defend?" Zhang Mazi asked with a frown.

"At the moment, it's defending, but it's definitely not a solution. Yang Zifeng sighed. There are some things that he can't say to his subordinates, such as Meng Yi is likely to besiege but not attack, take the opportunity to nail the northern land to threaten the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and then start to implement the plan to annex the wolf clan.

"Battalion commander, what should we do next, you should give us a good time! Meng Yi's people are right under his nose, don't we do anything?" Han Dagang was a little disappointed that the battle was not approved.

"According to the arrangement of the last meeting, each has its own responsibilities and will defend Daqingshan. As for the rest, we'll have to look at it first. Yang Zifeng finally said.

After the meeting ended, Yang Zifeng left Zhang Yu behind.

"You seem to be embarrassed?" Before he could speak, Zhang Yu asked first.

"Yes. ”

"This is the battle we have been longing for for a long time, and it is also a battle that proves that we are by no means cowards! After breaking out of Wyvern City, they were burdened with a great shame that consumed their souls day and night.

"Because of his presence. Yang Zifeng took out his pipe, tapped it lightly on the table, and then filled it with tobacco.

"Young master?" Zhang Yu stepped forward and lit the cigarette for him.

"Death is not a terrible thing for us, we should have died more than ten years ago. Yang Zifeng inhaled hard, leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, and his voice was extremely sad.

"You expect a lot from him. Zhang Yu smiled bitterly, "But do you think this is realistic? He is not even twenty years old, and he was just a rookie a few months ago." ”

"There's a special temperament about him that I'm familiar with. A smile appeared on Yang Zifeng's face, "Especially when he said that, this feeling is particularly strong." ”

"I will kill all the forces that are not convinced, one by one. Is that it?"

"What, you feel it too?" Yang Zifeng opened his eyes and looked at him.

"I feel it. But I don't dare to think about it like that, because I have been desperate for more than ten years. After all, we are no longer high-spirited teenagers, and the general is long gone. Zhang Yu looked lonely.

"I left you here to ask you for something. Yang Zifeng was silent for a moment and said suddenly.

"Please?" Zhang Yu looked at him in amazement, "What's the matter?"

"There are some things that you can't rely on orders. Yang Zifeng sighed. Back then, it was an order from General Mu Bai that made them lose the glory of dying on the battlefield for their country and became a group of bandits struggling in humiliation and pain. Their end is even bleaker than those who died.

"You say. ”

"I have seriously considered the young master's advice, and although I don't know him well enough, I still want to help him realize his dream. Therefore, I want to lead my troops to follow the young master after this battle. Veterans are not afraid of death, but I hope that before I die, I can see the day when the flag of the Western Expeditionary Army will be recaptured. And for our group, there may be only one way to die that can make everyone look at each other, and that is to die in battle in military uniforms. Yang Zifeng said in a deep voice.

"Do you want me to help you do the work of your brothers?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Nope. Yang Zifeng shook his head, "I heard that the young master has integrated the forces of Blackwater City in order to deal with Meng Yi's threat. I want you to take a few people to Blackwater City and participate in their actions as representatives of the Aoyama Geist to make our position clear. ”

"Good. But this side of Daqingshan ......"

"Don't worry. If I can't hold it here, I'm afraid it's useless for you, right?" Yang Zifeng said with a smile.

Thirty miles northeast of Heishui Town, it is the headquarters of the 1st Regiment of the 31st Division of the 14th Army of the Southwest Theater. According to the deployment principle of the border troops of the Tianlong Empire Army, the three battalions of the 1st Regiment were stationed near the three towns of Heishui, Fengling, and Yanxia, and the regimental headquarters was located in the strategic depth area guarded by the three battalions, so as to prevent the command system from being directly destroyed when a war broke out on the border.

However, under the protection of three battalions of thousands of people, Qiao Dali, the commander of the 1st regiment, still did not have the slightest sense of security. The threat did not come from enemies outside the country, but from Zhu Xiaoqi from Yanxia Town, the brother he had only known and had a hot fight with him not long ago.

"Damn, what is the origin of this kid! Even if he is the righteous son of General Mu Bai and the young master of the Li family, he will not be like this, will he be like this? Could it be a mistake?" Qiao Dali looked at the order in his hand, and his head went blank.

"Adjutant Zhang, are you sure this order is correct?" he looked up and frowned at the captain's adjutant standing at his desk.

Adjutant Zhang's face was black: "Regiment commander, this is a top-secret red document, how can I be qualified to see it! However, I can be sure that this is an order from the division headquarters, because I personally went to the division headquarters to get it back." ”

"Red Piece?Top Secret?" Qiao Dali sneered, "If the content is correct, I think this order is estimated to cause a sensation in the entire Southwest Theater soon." So it doesn't hurt for you to take a look. Come and have a good look and help me figure it out!"

Adjutant Zhang reluctantly stepped forward and picked up the order.

"How is this possible!" he looked incredulous after reading the order.

"The reaction was exactly the same, it was good. Joe shrugged his shoulders vigorously and smiled.

"There can be no mistake with the order, the Great Seal of the Minister of War is very eye-catching. Good boy, this kid is terrible!" Adjutant Zhang felt very painful and sighed.

"Damn, I am a colonel in charge of a thousand people, and he is a second lieutenant in charge of tens of thousands of troops, but he has created a unique history in the imperial military world. Joe complained vigorously.

"Look at this, something big is going to happen in Blackwater City!" Adjutant Zhang sighed.

"He wouldn't really want to go to war with Meng Yi, would he?" Qiao slapped his head vigorously, thinking of a terrifying possibility.

"Zhu Xiaoqi wants to go to war with Meng Yi?" Adjutant Zhang was confused.

Qiao Dali is a lazy person, and the handling of many problems is usually decided by Adjutant Zhang on behalf of his staff. At this time, he was even more lazy to think about it himself, so he told the adjutant what happened in Blackwater City.

Adjutant Zhang was dumbfounded and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

"Commander, why did you get into such a muddy water!" he sighed.

"Do you think I can refuse to make money?" Qiao Dali smiled bitterly, "Besides, how rare is this opportunity? Blackwater City is so fat, but we can't catch any oil beads." Tie Zheng, Ruan Yushu, and Liu Feng have their eyes on the top of their heads, who can afford us? He is different, he is from our military, who will I not help him?"

"I know you're thinking about your brothers, but fighting with Meng Yi, isn't that self-defeating?

"It's not so strict, right? There are tens of thousands of troops around Blackwater City, and Meng Yi has only a few people, so we may not suffer if we really fight. Joe retorted vigorously.

"Commander, I would like to remind you of two things. The first thing, you know better than me how the combat quality and training level of the troops around Blackwater City are, and they are comparable to the Wind Spirit Iron Cavalry? The second thing is that he has the right to command, but will these troops really listen to his command and do their best?" Adjutant Zhang said helplessly.

"First of all, I agree. However, there are many ants that bite the statue, not to mention that he has also concentrated the power of Blackwater City. Second, I disagree. This order is stamped with the seal of the Minister of War and the signatures and seals of the heads of the theaters, armies, and divisions.

"Commander, this is quite likely. Adjutant Zhang smiled bitterly, "Before I came back from the division headquarters, the division commander specially sent someone to ask me to bring you a message. ”

"What?"

He said that although Commander Wu of the theater agreed to carry out this order, he had reservations about the content of the order. ”

"Agree to carry it out? Reservations? What does this mean?" Qiao Dali looked dazed.

"Your head is not enough, you are reminded at any time. Thinking of another sentence from the division commander, Adjutant Zhang felt that he really knew his subordinates.

"It means that we should disobey this order, and we can delay it as long as we can, even if it can't be delayed, just pretend in the process of implementation. Adjutant Zhang explained.

"That's not going to work. Qiao Dali shook his head resolutely, "Fighting is a fatal thing, isn't it equivalent to stabbing someone in the back by doing this?

"Regiment leader, this may involve high-level political struggles, don't be so naïve, okay? You can do what others do, and there will be no problems. Although the Minister of War is in charge of the whole army, we are under the control of the Southwestern Theater. Adjutant Zhang patiently persuaded.

In the eyes of him, a top student of the Haiyue City Military Academy, in addition to being lazy and stupid, this Captain Qiao is also a good person, a very dedicated soldier, and he wants to help him in his heart. Judging from the current situation, although doing so is tantamount to stabbing Zhu Xiaoqi from behind, if this knife is not stabbed out, it is estimated that Captain Qiao will be finished afterwards. A soldier should not be involved in political struggles, but if he strays into it, he must learn to use the power in his hands to protect himself.

"What bird politics zhì struggle, Lao Tzu doesn't care. I only know that even if this brother is screaming and playing, Lao Tzu will not stab himself in the back. Qiao Daliniu's temper came up, and he said with a blow of his beard and glaring.

"I respect your character, but I also insist that you understand and carry out this command. I'm used to working under you, the head of the regiment, and I don't want to spend any more time and energy getting used to a new leader. Adjutant Zhang said dryly.

"Damn, this problem is really a headache! How to solve it?" After Adjutant Zhang left, Qiao Dali fell into a tangle. As an officer from a civilian background, he was able to get to today's position and paid unimaginable hardships for ordinary people. Although he is lazy now, it is a side effect of promotion, which does not mean that he is a stupid person in his bones. However, to disobey on the battlefield is to murder his own people, and his conscience does not allow him to do such a thing.

After thinking about it for nearly an hour, Qiao Dali's head suddenly flashed and he thought of a way.

"The bell needs to be tied to the bell. Brother Zhu, you caused this trouble, let's leave it to you to solve!"
