Chapter 358: The first one is not convinced
"Xiaotang. Lin Muyu stepped in.
"Brother Ayu..."Jin Xiaotang was overjoyed, turned around and threw himself into Lin Muyu's arms, and coquettishly sprinkled like a younger sister: "You said that you would accompany me to eat beef noodles once when you came back this time, hum, you are going to go on the expedition again if you haven't fulfilled it yet..."
"Busy...... Lin Muyu chuckled, "How is the business of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yiqiē is good, by the way, there must be something you want me to do for you..."
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "This time I have 50,000 people under my command, and there is a shortage of arrows, so you need to help me cast a large number of arrows in a hurry, is there a problem?"
"No problem. Jin Xiaotang blinked his eyes and said with a triumphant smile: "Our Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce now has a total of ten ironware shops, and if you stop working within three days and only cast arrow clusters, you should be able to give you about 200,000 arrow clusters." ”
"Great..."
Lin Muyu smiled happily: "Also, there are other weapons that are also needed, in short...... Recently, the funds of the whole chamber of commerce will be used to supply the ironware shop, and in addition, has the rice shop opened?"
"It's already open, could it be that Brother Ayu still needs Xiaotang to prepare grain and grass for you?"
"Well, it's best to prepare, I'm worried about ......"
Jin Xiaotang Bingxue was smart and said with a smile: "I know, my brother has never been treated well in the government and the opposition, and he can only rely on himself for many things, but you can rest assured now, you still have me... There is nothing except that it costs some money to hire manpower, and there is more population in Lanyan City, don't worry, there is me. ”
"Hmm..."
......
In the evening, Lin Muyu invited Jin Xiaotang and Chu Yao to have a meal together, which was regarded as a gathering before the expedition, although it was said that Chu Yao, the archdeacon of the Elixir Division, was responsible for the medicine needed for the war, but after all, the Daojiang defense line was hundreds of miles, and it was not so easy to see her, and once the real demon clan crossed the river and fought, Lin Muyu would also be busy.
The next day, the army set out.
In the early morning, the fog lingered between the jungles, Lin Muyu rode on the snow, slowly moving forward with the army of the Fourth Legion, and also appointed five captains, namely Wei Qiu, Qin Yan, Fengxi, Tang Ren, and Zhang Feng, Tang Ren is Tang Zhen's cousin, and Zhang Feng is a recruit in Dusk Rain City.
Qin Yan hung the Fire Snake Spear on the horse's back, unfolded a map and looked at it again, and said, "According to our marching speed, it will take at least half a month to reach the Fenglin Ferry, big brother, will it be too late." ”
Lin Muyu nodded: "It's indeed a bit late, but our Fourth Legion has 50,000 people, and nearly 40,000 of them are heavy cavalry, it doesn't matter, if there is a war at Fenglin Ferry, we can rush over at any time, don't worry now, the Imperial Sailors have already arrived in Daojiang a day ago, with them, the demons can't cross the river." ”
"Yes..."
Lin Muyu looked around again, there were people from the Fourth Legion within a radius of several miles, and he was the supreme commander of this army, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he didn't have much military power in his hands in the battle of Winter Frost City, and this time he was in charge, it was time to have a good deal with the demons, and let the demons see the power of the human army...
......
Nine days later, the army passed through the city of five grains.
On both sides of the official road, there were countless people in Wugu City who were sending off in the middle of the road, Qin Yan, Wei Qiu and others couldn't help laughing, who said that the imperial army was unpopular, at this time the imperial army went to the front line but was so loved by the people, for a while, the people on the side of the road sent water, sweet potatoes, dry food, eggs and so on to the soldiers.
Lin Muyu saw that his scalp was a little numb, and he suddenly had a sense of immediacy that the Red Army was going out, in fact, the people were the most real, if you charged for the people, the people would naturally support you, if you charged for your own status, what did you have to do with the people?
In addition to the common people, there was also a group of soldiers from the city of grains, who escorted grain, grass, and blades here to supply the troops passing by along the way.
A man from afar rode his horse and said, "Where is Commander Lin of the Fourth Legion?"
Lin Muyu quickly rode out of the queue and said, "I'm here, who are you?"
He wore the rank of captain of ten thousand soldiers, and said respectfully: "Zhang Bao, the general of the garrison of Wugu City, is waiting for the Fourth Legion here, we have been waiting here since last night, oh, commander, please see, these are the supplies prepared by Wugu City for the Fourth Legion, including 2,000 steel swords, 10,000 spears, 5,000 shields, 40,000 arrows, and 2,000 carts of grain and grass. ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work..."
Lin Muyu gave him a very standard imperial military salute, with a handsome demeanor, coupled with a commander's armor, wearing a sword, and stepping on a snow war horse under his crotch, for a while, a group of girls from Wugu City ran over, and their faces were full of looks......
"Wow, that commander is so handsome..."
"Who is he?"
"It seems to be one of the four heroes of Lan Yan canonized by the first emperor..."
"That's right, this is the Fourth Legion, he is Lin Muyu, who ranks second among the four heroes of Lan Yan, and he is even more handsome than the commander of Feng Jixing..."
......
Lin Muyu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, I don't know if Feng Jixing will go berserk after hearing this?
As a result, the girls' crowding and praise also caused a lot of complaints, especially those defenders of Wugu City, who could have gone to the front line to fight the demons, but the empress did not call them, so they could only be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass.
"Why is it that only the army of the imperial capital can go to the front...?"
"Do we people in Five Grain City deserve to deal with grain and straw all day long?"
"Yes, why are they the only ones who can go to war with the demons, why can't we?"
"That is, they don't have one more eye or one more leg than me, why, I, Zhao Ritian, am the first to disagree..."
Wei Qiu immediately stepped forward with his sword, his eyes raised, and he said: "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? Do you think fighting with the demons is child's play? If you really went to the front line, maybe you would have been scared to pee..."
In the crowd, the man named "Zhao Ritian", who wore the rank of centurion, saw Wei Qiu coming, and took a few steps back, and Wei Qiu pointed his sword and said: "Zhao Ritian, you give me to be careful, restrain your subordinates, and if you make noise here, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword of Wei Qiu..."
Zhao Ritian hurriedly hugged his fists respectfully and said: "My lord is angry, and the last general will know that he is wrong..."
He hurriedly turned around and whispered to a group of subordinates: "Shut up for me, don't say anything more, just give me Zhao Ritian a face..."
Everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin Muyu didn't stop, continued to carry the pear flower gun all the way slowly with the army, and at the same time sent a cavalry team to take away all the supplies sent by Wugu City, these are good things in the war, Lin Muyu has realized how important the supply is after the cruel war like a nightmare in Winter Frost City, "the army is based on food", Zhuge Liang's "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War" This sentence is simply the truth for the army.
......
At this moment, suddenly someone in the crowd of Wugu City shouted, "Lord Lin Zhi... Lord Lin Zhi..."
"Huh?"
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, this voice is so familiar, and there don't seem to be many people who know their real name, who is it? He hurriedly turned around, and saw a person wearing the rank of centurion in the crowd squeezing through the crowd and walking over, it was Qin Ziling, who had not been seen for a long time, how could he be here now?
With joy in his heart, Lin Muyu hurriedly turned over and dismounted and stepped forward, suddenly hugged Qin Ziling, and laughed: "Ziling, after you disappeared from the temple, I thought you were killed in battle, but I didn't expect to see you here..."
Qin Ziling was also ecstatic: "After the Battle of Lanyan City Temple was breached, I and several of the temple's sparring brothers were hunted down and killed by the Boxer army, and were exiled among the refugees, and finally came to Wugu City, and I felt that I didn't have the face to return to the temple, so I joined the army in Wugu City, Lord Lin Zhi, you are now the commander of the first army?"
Lin Muyu smiled awkwardly: "Yes..."
"Are you going to the Daojiang tributary?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Hmm. ”
Qin Ziling's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, and said: "You must be careful, I heard that the demon clan is extremely cruel and powerful, and the 100,000 troops of Min Yulin Junhou have been buried in Winter Frost City, to be honest...... We are all afraid, afraid that Daojiang will not be able to hold it, and then Wugu City may become a dead city again. ”
Lin Muyu's eyes were scorching, and he said with a smile: "Not to mention Wugu City, if the demon race really wins, the entire human race will be extinct, speaking of Ziling, don't you want to go on the expedition with me?"
"I ...... Naturally, I thought about it, but now I'm a soldier of the military system of Wugu City......"
"It doesn't matter, whose command do you belong to?"
"Captain Zhang Bao..."
"Oh, it's him, it's okay, I'll write a letter to someone to pass it on to him, you can go directly with my Fourth Legion..."
"Okay..."Qin Ziling was excited.
Lin Muyu immediately wrote a short letter to ask him to hand it over to Zhang Bao, the general meaning is very clear, strong and important, in fact, Qin Ziling's cultivation is very low, and he is not much stronger than ordinary soldiers, presumably Zhang Bao will not give it to others.
After entering the establishment of the Fourth Legion, Lin Muyu still let Qin Ziling serve as a centurion, and after getting to know Qin Yan, Wei Qiu, Fengxi and others, they quickly got along with each other.
......
After five days, they arrived at the place of the guard...... Maple Grove Ferry.
Originally, it was just a simple crossing, but now it has been built into a camp, and the construction of the city has begun before the arrival of the Fourth Army, the city is less than 100 meters away from the shore of the Daojiang River, and the height of the wall is about 20 meters, and now it has been built about 10 meters, but it is not enough.
At this time, the ferry just became the anchorage of the imperial sailors, a total of twenty warships were neatly arranged on the shore, when Lin Muyu arrived at the ferry with Wei Qiu, Qin Yan and other captains, the sailors on the warship also quickly got off the warship, and a bearded general wearing the rank of captain of Wanli respectfully hugged his fists and said: "The last general Situ Lie has been waiting for Commander Lin here for a long time under the order of the commander of Baili Cang..."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Situ Lie, and said, "The general is too polite, has there been any movement on the other side these days?"
"Yes..."
Situ Lie said in a deep voice: "The demon army has already camped on the other side, and as far as I can see, they have at least 10,000 horses on the other side, most of which are the legendary 'cockroaches'. ”
"Armor Demon?"
"Yes..."
"Got it. Lin Muyu looked at the guard on the side and said, "Send people to camp along the coast, one camp every 10 miles, five camps in the north and south, and send light cavalry to scout back and forth, and observe the movements of the demon clan at any time." ”
"Yes, Commander..."
