Li Hu's words made Lin Long stunned all of a sudden.

Yes, they are militia, not a regular army, in the territory of the army, they can completely become local people, the population of a county is hundreds of thousands, and it is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of militia.

And if there is no war in peacetime, they are local people, and they don't even need to wear makeup, so once a war breaks out, they can quickly organize themselves to resist.

At this moment, in Lin Long's mind, a word suddenly popped up to the military system, idle for the people, and war for the soldiers.

This system is not a novel system, it appeared as early as hundreds of years ago, but at that time, Daliang had not yet been unified, and warlords in various places were divided, in order to protect their own territory, this kind of product appeared.

It's just that with the gradual unification of Daliang, the soldiers and horses of the world are unified under the jurisdiction of the central government, and the existence of this kind of garrison is strictly prohibited in various places.

In addition, Da Liang emphasizes literature and light military force, it is even more impossible to allow military generals to have private soldiers, even if Da Liang is weakening day by day, and the states have selfish intentions, at most they will establish private soldiers, and this kind of large-scale military system cannot be done at all.

It's not that they don't want to, but they want to build such a large scale of troops, in addition to having sufficient financial resources themselves, and more importantly, the leader has super prestige, so that these large-scale militias can be subdued.

If it is really according to what Li Hu said, they have 20,000 militia in their hands, it is enough to show that Su Qi'an has already planned against Xizhou.

But even if he guessed, Lin Long couldn't sue anything, after all, at the moment, he was surrounded by more than a dozen people like Li Hu, and he didn't know what was going on in Hanzhong County.

Lin Long's eyes flickered, even though he knew that he might be defeated, but there was no trace of decadence on his face, and after a short moment of silence, he continued to shout.

"Hmph, even if you have 20,000 militia in the city, how can you do it, Ben Shuai doesn't believe it, 20,000 against 20,000, Ben Shuai will lose this game!"

Lin Long was full of confidence, Li Hu smiled and nodded, and did not mean to make a move, but sat down and said with a smile.

"Well, I appreciate Lin Shuai's self-confidence, so let's wait and see who is the final winner."

Li Hu is quite calm, this is not his arrogance, but the sufficient confidence he has obtained after preparing for a long time.

For this battle, Li Hu and Zhao Da made preparations for too long, and as early as Lin Long and Zhao Ying led an army of 100,000 towards Xizhou.

He and Zhao Da received instructions from Luo Qingyuan, and all the militias of each county were gathered, entered Hanzhong and Nandu, and then fell silent, even if the two counties were taken, the militia could not move.

According to Luo Qingyuan's meaning, their silent lurking was intended to take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack when the 100,000-strong army attacked Xizhou City and even the clan land.

Combined with the Xizhou soldiers who were facing the front, the front and rear flanked the attack, the original plan was carried out like this, but after Su Qi'an returned, he temporarily changed the plan.

The 100,000-strong army attacked the city and clan land of Xizhou, but the militia continued to lurk, and as for the repulsion, it was handed over to the two armies of Xizhou and Jiaozhou.

And their task is to wait for this group of defeated remnants in Hanzhong County to catch turtles in an urn.

If Luo Qingyuan's plan was just to make the 100,000 army suffer heavy losses and escape from Xizhou, then Su Qi'an's idea was to leave all the 100,000 troops in Xizhou.

Eating it in one go, I have to say that Su Qi'an's plan was more daring, but judging from the results of its implementation, it was very successful, and the 100,000 troops who invaded Xizhou, except for the 30,000 troops divided, did not participate in the attack on the encirclement and suppression of Xizhou cities and clan lands.

The remaining 70,000 people, when they retreated all the way to Hanzhong County, only about 20,000 remained, and they lost 50,000 men and horses, which can be described as a heavy loss.

According to what Lin Long said, even if 20,000 against 20,000, if the army is not superior, it is not so easy to eat them, this is right.

But Li Hu didn't tell Lin Long one thing, except that the militia went underground to be silent, and there was hope that they would return to the trading house.

This is the largest commercial bank in Xizhou, and it was also established by Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan.

In the nearly two years since Su Qi'an left Xizhou, the intelligence of this dark web

Institutions have spread all over the counties and counties of Xizhou, and it can be said that every move is under their control.

In addition to collecting intelligence, it also participated in the direct transportation and transfer of a series of military weapons such as various weapons and armor, which is also the reason why the militia was able to be silent and not be found and searched.

is expected to go to the help of the firm, as well as the eyes of the dark web, if it is so easy to be served by Lin Long and Zhao Ying, it will be too much to look down on the hard work of Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Li Xiaomei, and Thin Monkey in the past few years.

Just as the two sides were waiting silently in the room, not long after, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the quiet city.

It was a fierce battle between the militia and the remnants of the city, and this fighting was like a gust of wind, which quickly spread throughout the county.

The silence of the night sky was broken suddenly, and immediately after, several arrows sounded in the middle of the city, and then, even a dull rumbling sound could be heard.

It was like the sound of a boulder thrown by a catapult hitting it, and every rumbling sound fell, as if it hit Lin Long's heart hard, making his heart tighten.

He turned his head, looked out the window, the flickering firelight, and listened to the fighting outside, and the confidence just now unconsciously converged a lot.

But he didn't show it, his face was solemn, he held a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were staring at Li Hu.

Compared with Lin Long's solemnity, Li Hu seemed much more relaxed, with a smile on his face, and even picked up the tea on the table and drank it slowly.

"Lin Shuai, don't be nervous, the show has just begun, maybe it's really as Lin Shuai said, until the last moment, I don't know who will kill the deer."

At this time, in the city of Hanzhong County, almost the flames were soaring, and the sounds of all kinds of fighting shook the sky, and if you looked carefully, these fighting sounds were in more than a dozen barracks in the city, and did not affect some innocent residential areas.

As if they had known about the sudden fierce battle in the city, the people of the residential area closed their doors and waited for the results of the fierce battle.

Such a big movement broke out in the city, and the soldiers of all posts learned about it for the first time, and their faces were solemn, looking at the fire that rushed to the sky in the distance, and the fierce battle that broke out.

Some of the soldiers asked, "What's going on? There is a great chaos in the city, should we support it?"

The leader's weapon, his eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "No, you continue to stand by and be on guard for a surprise attack outside the city, I suspect that this is a deliberate chaos created by the enemy in order to transfer us away."

"That's right, there are 20,000 brothers in the city, even if there is chaos, it will definitely be able to calm down quickly, we just continue to hold our posts, and don't let the enemy army have a chance."

Soon, the soldiers in each major post reached a unanimous consensus, and none of them took the initiative to reinforce, but continued to stick to their posts.

They didn't get Lin Long's order, and even if they did, with their little people, what was the use of going.

There are 20,000 brothers in the city, can't they calm the chaos in front of them?

In their opinion, the chaos in the city could be subsided in a quarter of an hour or two, or in an hour or two.

The fierce battle in Hanzhong County has been continuing, and for about an hour, the sound of fighting in the city has gradually weakened, and it seems that it will not be long before it will end.

At the same time, in the county government, Lin Long, Li Hu and others were still confronting, feeling the weakening of the fighting outside the house, Li Hu put down the teacup in his hand, seemed to think of something, and said.

"Ah, Lin Shuai, look at my brain, I almost forgot one thing, you are right, we don't have an advantage in terms of troops, but Lin Shuai still forgot, we are militia, first there are people, then there can be soldiers."

"In Hanzhong County, there are 200,000 people, not to mention 200,000 people, these are all living eyeliners."

"Whether it's Lin Shuai's daily life, or the situation of more than a dozen barracks in the city, I don't want to know everything, but it's still okay to have about seven or eight points."

"I want to ask Lin Shuai, in terms of equal forces, and understanding the specific distribution of the opponent's troops, and there are guys who are not weak in the regular army in their hands, plus it is a night attack, who has a better chance of winning this battle?"

Lin Long's face was still calm, but his heart was pounding, and he knew very well that if it was really as Li Hu said, this battle

He will surely be defeated."

But as the commander of the first army, Lin Long didn't believe that he would be defeated in the hands of a small militia, no matter how he looked at the person in front of him, he was a farmer, not to mention the book of soldiers, I was afraid that he couldn't even read all the words.

Defeated in the hands of such a pariah, Lin Long could not accept it, and he would not accept it at all, his eyes flashed, and the next moment, he laughed maniacally again.

"Hahaha, you're right, but how can the old man be defeated at the hands of untouchables like you, in the end, these are just your wishful thinking, trying to deceive the old man."

"I just want to deceive the old man into surrendering, you are dreaming! The old man is not a fool to lie to me!"

Looking at the crazy Lin Long, Li Hu's face showed a look of pity and sighed.

"It's really pitiful, I thought that Lin Long, the famous general of Da Liang, had a lot of ability, and now it seems that he is no different from those so-called big people who are unwilling to fail."

"It's just a matter of self-esteem, Lin Shuai, now you and Zhao Ying who killed Zhao Ying that day are completely like two people, it's really a pathetic guy."

Li Hu's words made the crazy Lin Long stunned in place for a moment, with a thick disbelief in his eyes.

Li Hu dared to say this, which is enough to prove that his daily life is really stared at by countless pairs of eyes, otherwise, how could he know about Zhao Ying's death.

In other words, their every move is really under the control of Li Hu and others, and he, a veteran who fought on the battlefield, was really defeated in the hands of a nobody.

The sword in Lin Long's hand fell to the ground, and the next moment, he collapsed directly to the ground, his body curled up, revealing a sad and miserable smile.

Li Hu, who was watching this scene, shook his head, "Come on, take down Lin Long."

Without looking at Lin Long again, he turned around and left.
