Before the First Fleet of the Eastern Navy left the port, a group of high-ranking generals of the Shenzhou Army gathered at a military base on the other side of the river and were holding a meeting.

In addition to the generals of the 13th Army and the 15th Army, there are also several senior generals of the 27th Army guarding Pearl City, as well as the senior generals of the 29th Army who have just arrived here.

A man in his early forties, with a straight posture and a neat military uniform, without even a trace of wrinkles or dirt, sat on the main seat.

He was the supreme commander of the 29th Army and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in this Li River Campaign!

The man's eyebrows were like knives, and he just sat there quietly, giving people a feeling of sharpness.

His name is Lin Shu, the former commander of the 36th Division of the Northwest Army.

Three years ago, the Eastern Navy invaded the four northwestern provinces, and a total of 160,000 Northwest Army troops were defeated and retreated, and soon lost the land of the four provinces.

This is the most humiliating battle in Shenzhou in the past 100 years!

However, in this battle, there were also some generals who achieved good results, and Lin Shu was the most dazzling one of them.

In the case of the collapse of the overall situation, he led the 36th Division to skillfully pass through the layers of defense lines, unbelievably went around the rear of the enemy, and finally blew up a large number of weapons and baggage of the Eastern Navy, causing more than 5,000 casualties in the Eastern Navy!

It was one of the brightest battles of the Northwest Campaign.

Later, when the Northwest Army retreated, the 36th Division led by Lin Shu took the initiative to take on the task of breaking off, and with the strength of one division (more than 10,000 people), it resisted the attack of a division (more than 30,000 people) of the Eastern Navy for eight days!

You must know that at that time, the battle loss ratio between the Northwest Army and the Eastern Navy was as high as an astonishing 10:1, and even an army would not dare to fight a division of the Upper Eastern Navy at all, and it would be quickly defeated.

In the case of an all-round inferiority in weapons, Lin Shu can block the opponent's division with one division, which is incredible!

In that bloody battle, the 36th Division fought to the end with only more than 2,000 people, and everyone was wounded, and almost all the cadres above the company level died, which can be called the most tragic battle in the Northwest Campaign!

It was also that battle that made the Eastern Navy firmly remember Lin Shu and call him the 'Evil Tiger'.

After leaving the northwest, Lin Shu's dazzling achievements were valued by the high-level, and he was quickly promoted to serve as the supreme commander of the 29th Army.

Now he has been appointed as the former commander-in-chief of the Li River Campaign, commanding a total of 120,000 people from the 13th, 15th, 27th and 29th armies to launch an attack on the East China Sea Marine Command!

"Before I left, the commander-in-chief asked me, how sure was this battle?"

On the main seat, Lin Shu, who was tall, looked at the generals present and said slowly:

"I was silent for a long time, and I couldn't give the commander-in-chief an answer. 120,000 people fought 20,000 people, but they didn't dare to say that they would win, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Lin was ashamed! ”

When the generals present heard this, their expressions were very complicated.

More than 120,000 people in the four armies fought against more than 20,000 people in the Eastern Navy, and under normal circumstances, there should be a chance of victory, and the special commander-in-chief is a famous general like Lin Shu.

However, everyone present knew very well that the more than 20,000 people in the East China Sea included the First Fleet of the East China Sea!

In terms of numbers, the Shenzhou Army is six times larger than the Eastern Navy.

However, judging from the comparison of firepower between the two sides, the Eastern Navy is ten times stronger than the Shenzhou Army?!

So even if 120,000 people fight 20,000 people, Lin Shu doesn't dare to say that he will win.

"After that, the commander-in-chief gave me a bottom, he said: You Lin Shu can block the 30,000 people of the Eastern Navy with 10,000 people in the northwest, and this time I will give you dozens of times the strength of the Northwest period, I don't ask you to defeat the Eastern Navy, only ask you to block the Eastern Navy on the line between Pearl City and the Li River!"

Lin Shu continued, neither high nor low tone:

"After listening to this, I said to the commander-in-chief: I will complete the task to the death. But in fact, I didn't have the slightest certainty in my heart. ”

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the conference room.

As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Lin Shu actually said at the pre-war mobilization meeting that he was not sure about the next battle, which was too easy to shake the morale of the army!

Lin Shu ignored everyone's suspicious gazes and continued to say with calm eyes:

"Some people say that I, Lin Shu, can play such a record in the northwest, and I am really a world-famous general and a master tactician! I've never dared to admit it. ”

"Many of you here are like me, they came back from the northwest, and you have all personally felt the power of the Eastern Navy's artillery fire and the strength of the Eastern Navy's weapons and equipment, so you should know very well that in the face of such a torrent of steel, what kind of tactics are useless!"

"I was able to lead the 36th Division to fight like that because of those more than 10,000 brothers who fought with guns! Slash with a knife! Bite with your teeth! Serve as a human wall with flesh and blood! It's because they have to stick to their positions even if they have exhausted the last drop of blood, and they have never taken a step back! Without such a group of brothers, I'm not Lin Shu's bullshit! ”

"So I want to tell you that this is the only way I see that we can outdo the Eastern Navy! The road is difficult and difficult, but more than 10,000 people have already walked it. If the soldiers under your command can also do this, all of you can become Lin Shu, even stronger than me Lin Shu! ”

The dozens of generals in the conference room all subconsciously clenched their fists, with different expressions.

Lin Shu suddenly stood up.

Seeing this, the rest of the people also hurriedly got up.

Lin Shu's gaze finally swept over everyone's faces one by one:

"In the end, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, the only thing I can assure you of is one thing: no matter what happens in the end of this battle, the 29th Army will definitely be the last unit to withdraw from the battlefield!"

With that, he turned around and left the conference room first.

Behind him, dozens of generals saluted him.

After walking out of the conference room, an old man wearing a white robe with an extraordinary temperament naturally followed Lin Shu and left with him.

Lin Shu's temperament of this 'evil tiger' is as cold as a knife, and he is a fierce god who was killed from the hell of the northwest!

Ordinary people will feel chills when they see him.

After serving as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and taking charge of the life and death of more than 100,000 people, Lin Shu's majesty became even heavier.

However, even with such a powerful momentum, he couldn't overpower the old man beside him!

Even the old man standing beside him was more eye-catching than him.

If there are people in the rivers and lakes present, they can recognize this old man as the contemporary head of the Bagua Gate, 'the world's first hand' Chen Tingshan!

Chen Tingshan is not tall, he looks thin and small, and he has no strength.

But it is such a thin old man who has fought all over the world in the past few decades, and is known as 'Chen Invincible'!

This stubborn old puppet who is 'not worth mentioning' in Hou Qi's mouth not only called on a large number of gossip men to enter the army not long ago and serve as the personal bodyguard of senior generals, but he himself is now by Lin Shu's side to protect the safety of the other party.

After Lin Shu played the name of 'Evil Tiger', the assassination of Lin Shu by the Donglong Society never stopped, and Lin Shu was also in danger many times.

But now with the protection of Chen Tingshan, the 'first hand in the world', Lin Shu is no longer worried about who will assassinate him.

"Does Grandmaster Chen know why I started this battle in advance?"

Lin Shu suddenly asked Chen Tingshan beside him.

Chen Tingshan shook his head: "I don't understand military affairs. ”

Lin Shu smiled slightly:

"Because I got the news that someone attacked the Marine Command in the East China Sea at night last night and assassinated Hideki Hoshino!"

When Chen Tingshan heard this, his eyes changed:

"The result?"

Lin Shu shook his head:

"I don't know what the outcome will be, but one of the arsenals at the headquarters has been blown up. In this way, I concluded that the Eastern Navy would definitely make a move, so I had to attack in advance. ”

Then he looked at Chen Tingshan:

"There are a total of two people who infiltrated the headquarters last night to assassinate Hideki Hoshino, blow up an arsenal, and finally successfully break out of the encirclement, one of them is Grandmaster Hou Qihou."

Chen Tingshan nodded, in fact, he had guessed this answer from the beginning.

"Does Grandmaster Chen know who the other assassin is? Could it be Tang Yunxing? ”

Lin Shu asked curiously.

Being able to join forces with Hou Qi and have such strength, looking at the entire Shenzhou rivers and lakes, it seems that only a grandmaster can do it, and Chen Tingshan has always been by his side, so he guessed that the other assassin was 'Blood Yama' Tang Yunxing.

But Chen Tingshan shook his head and said with certainty:

"It won't be Tang Yunxing."

He has been entangled with Tang Yunxing for many years, and it can be said that he is the person who knows Tang Yunxing in the world, so he made such a judgment, and Lin Shu chose to believe it.

"So who could this person be? Could it be a new grandmaster? ”

Lin Shu was a little curious.

Chen Tingshan thought about it, but there was no answer.

He had the impression that there were indeed a few people who had the opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster realm, but even if he was the 'first hand in the world', he couldn't tell who would definitely break through to the Grandmaster realm.

Lin Shu suddenly smiled and said, "If there are more grandmasters like you, this battle will be much easier." ”

Chen Tingshan also laughed when he heard this.

Yes, but how difficult is it for a grandmaster to become a master?

After Lin Shu held a pre-war mobilization meeting, the 13th, 15th, 27th, and 29th armies, a total of 120,000 people, began to move.

The fighter was filled with fuel, and the engine began to warm up.

Shells were brought out of the warehouse, and teams of fighters got into military vehicles

The morning sun rises from the river, and the sun shines through the mountains and mountains in this world, and also illuminates countless soldiers in blue military uniforms.

When the First Fleet of the Eastern Navy left the port, the Shenzhou Army decided to launch an attack in advance!

[Attention to all players, there are changes in the first phase of the mission, and the Shenzhou Army's attack on the East China Sea Marine Command has started early]

When the Shenzhou Army made a move, all players in the mission world received new information.

The battle, which was supposed to start tomorrow, started a day earlier.

Xiang Yi and the others joined the advance unit of the 27th Army as inhumans, and will be the first troops to launch an attack on the Marine Command in the East China Sea!

At the same time, Zhao Yan, who returned to Pearl City with Hou Qi, also received the news, but he had one more message than the rest of the players:

[The god of the player's national arts infiltrated the East China Sea Marine Command before the battle began, killed five senior officers, seriously injured seven, and blew up an arsenal, after settlement, the first phase of the mission contribution point +4820]

It wasn't for nothing that Zhao Yan fired those rockets last night, and he was extremely lucky to kill several high-ranking officers!

His actions are counted towards the contribution of the first phase of the mission, and the contribution points are increased by 4820. Counting the 600 contribution points he obtained from participating in the 'Huaquan Club's purge operation' before, his total contribution points in the first stage have exceeded 5,000 points!

The first stage of the task only requires players to obtain 50 contribution points to meet the standard, and Zhao Yan has already exceeded it by a hundred times!

"Next, even if I just passed the second and third stage tasks, the final clearance evaluation should be perfect, right?"

Zhao Yan thought to himself.

He does not intend to participate in the attack on the Marine Command in the East China Sea next.

One is that the contribution of the first stage has already far exceeded that there is no need to take any more risks.

The second is because of a warrior like him, the most suitable battlefield is an assassination like last night, and the combat power that can be exerted on the frontal battlefield is actually very limited, perhaps not as good as Xiang Yi and other professional soldiers.

The third reason is that he plans to take advantage of Hou Qi by his side to hone his strength and strive to break through the realm as soon as possible!

Now that the two have returned to a stronghold of the Huaquan Club in Pearl City, Hou Qi needs to take out the bullets in his body and then recuperate for a period of time, while Zhao Yan asked the people of the Huaquan Club for a gossip rolling knife and practiced knife skills in the courtyard.

The Bagua Rolling Hand Knife is a unique weapon of the Bagua Gate, the handle is one foot two inches long, the blade is three feet long, weighs five to eight catties, the blade is narrow, and the knife head is wide.

This knife is specially used to practice the Bagua Gate knife technique, when the knife holder and the enemy are fighting, use their own wrists to quickly turn the blade, with the Bagua Dragon body method to swim away, with the hob against the enemy, so this knife is named hob knife.

The reason why Zhao Yan wanted to practice the knife technique with the hob knife was because after his Baguazhang was promoted to Lv6, he unlocked a new skill - Rolling Hand Turning Knife.

[Rolling Hand Turning Knife] is the same as the [Oolong Disc Fighting] of splitting and hanging palms, which is not only a move, but also a key strength skill.

[Rolling Hand Turning Knife] is an advanced use of [Youlong], and this skill has made Zhao Yan's mind have a lot of content related to the Bagua Knife Technique.

Not only that, when using this skill, Zhao Yan can also use one of the core strength of Baguazhang - dragging knife strength!

The strength of the dragging knife, as the name suggests, after it is displayed, it is as if someone is dragging the knife hard and slashing through the opponent.

This strength requires the combination of light and dark, and after practicing to the fullest, even if you fight against people with your bare hands, you can cut and cut the opponent's clothes, skin and even muscles and bones in one move!

Han Dianguo had also mentioned the strength of dragging knives to Zhao Yan before, and he also used his senior brother Wu Li as an example, saying that after Wu Li broke through to Danjin, he exerted his dragging strength with all his might, and was even able to cut off the steel bars with his bare hands!

In terms of domineering and fierceness, Zhao Yan has the strength of the Eight Extremes of Mountain Collapse and the Seven Evil Strength of the Tiger God.

In terms of femininity and lingering, Zhao Yan has the strength of Tai Chi to wrap silk.

And now that he has unlocked the [Rolling Hand Turning Knife], the dragging knife strength he has cultivated is a combination of rigidity and softness, which is also very helpful for him to break through the realm of the three tricks!

In addition, the spear opens and closes widely, making it suitable for use in wide terrain.

But if he is in the jungle, or in a place where the terrain is narrow, Zhao Yan needs to change his weapon.

Now that he has just unlocked the [Rolling Hand Turning Knife], it just so happens that Hou Qi is a sword master, so he naturally won't miss this opportunity, so he practiced the knife technique in front of Hou Qi.
