At dusk, Hidemi Nishizawa finally sent back the latest information on the smoke and dust of the 17th Road. After reading the information sent back by Hidemi Nishizawa, Fang Xiaoyu did not hesitate and immediately asked everyone to gather.

For Fang Xiaoyu's order, the six masters of the Shuo Palace, a cadre of guards and personal soldiers of the palace, and his brothers only took three breaths to quickly assemble, but it took those Eight Banners disciples a lot of effort to assemble slowly. Fang Xiaoyu was naturally very dissatisfied with the performance of the children of the Eight Banners, although he had heard that since they entered the customs, those children of the Eight Banners had become corrupt and degenerate, immersed in the world of flowers in the Central Plains, and had long since lost the courage of the year, but what he didn't expect was that these were even more corrupt than he imagined, and it took so long for a gathering to gather at the moment, and Fang Xiaoyu's face became ugly at the moment, once they encountered a strong enemy at this speed, they were afraid that they would collapse in an instant, and at that moment he turned his gaze to Prince Shuo: "I said, Lord Wang, is this what you call the Eight Banners Elite? A gathering of more than 100 people, it took them such a long time, if they really encountered a strong enemy attack, they would not collapse immediately. ”

Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Prince Shuo's face was also a little unbearable, these rabbit cubs really didn't give him any face: "None of them are soldiers, they have not been trained in the military camp, they can have such a performance, it is already very good, but their speed is slower, but our horseman's riding and archery kung fu is very good, although it cannot be said that it is a hundred steps through Yang, but it is still no problem to hit a hundred shots." ”

"Fortunately, for what you said, I didn't have any hope in the morning, so that all of them were equipped with repeaters, and I didn't plan to take them to forcibly chisel through the enemy's camp, otherwise I wouldn't let these people die alive, now I only hope that they have mastered the skills of firing crossbows, don't even shoot crossbow arrows when the time comes, if that's the case, this fun will be a big game." ”

Prince Shuo swore and said: "Don't worry, the arrow shooting is a guy who eats with our banner people, and he will definitely not be able to lose it." ”

"I hope so!"

When the two of them were talking, those Eight Banners disciples were still whispering below, seeing this situation, Prince Shuo naturally gritted his teeth with hatred, he knew that these people were such virtuous, he could offend those family masters, and it was impossible to bring them out to be embarrassed:" Spare cubs, can you not give Lao Tzu me quietly, behave better, Lord Wang, my face has made you lose your face, you look at the speed of people's assembly, it only took three breaths, but you are good, you actually used a cup of tea, if there is an enemy attack, your head will not grow on your shoulders for a long time. ”

A disciple of the Eight Banners said indifferently: "Lord Shuo, look at what you said, where are there so many strong enemies in this world." ”

"Don't be a cub, dare to talk to the prince, I know you, you are the second boy of the Tong Jia family, what is your name Yi Ercheng, among these people, you are the most naughty and mischievous, if you want to stay, give the prince me a little rules, when the time comes, I will naturally let you go back with wealth and military exploits, if you are mischievous to the prince, I will go back to the prince as soon as possible, otherwise the prince I will take you to the knife, and now give the prince a quiet point. After stopping everyone's whispering, Prince Shuo naturally turned his gaze to Fang Xiaoyu: "If you have anything to say, you can say it now, Lord Wang, I promise that no one will talk to you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu's words are also very direct: " I suddenly asked everyone to assemble because the secret agent of the Shuowang Mansion sent back a piece of information, that is, the seventeenth road smoke and dust traveled to the town twenty miles away from us and suddenly did not leave, and also robbed all the rich families in the town, which made our ambush plan here completely ruined, but if it doesn't matter, if the enemy doesn't come, I'll go to the enemy, so I plan to take everyone to a long-distance attack to catch the other party off guard, I know that you are all the rich second generation of the family, but if you want to inherit the title of your father, it is simply impossible, because there is the eldest son of the family above you, and the title of your father will not fall on you at all, If nothing changes, your future ending will be to be an honest generation of rice worms and live your life mediocrely.

"If you are willing to go through your life so mediocrely, you will not stand here today, to fight for a battle of your own, with this war merit, plus the elders of your family to operate well, I believe that it will not be very difficult to rely on Fuyin to release an official position in the future, I believe that many of you are here for this purpose, but it is not enough for you to stand here, because this credit will not automatically fall from the sky, you have to rely on yourself to fight and work hard, but we are facing real bandits this time, and fighting with them will kill people, even if our defense measures are good, it is no exceptionAt the beginning, if one of you is afraid of death, you can stand up now, I will not be reluctant, nor will I laugh at him, fear of death is human nature, there is no shame, but if you don't want to be mediocre as a generation of rice worms, you must stand up bravely to fight him, bravely face all this, people can only grow through the tempering of blood and fire. ”

Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, none of those Eight Banner disciples spoke, and they all fell into deep thought, and the fact that they can stand here today shows that they all have a heart that is not willing to be mediocre.

"Although none of you have ever been a soldier or fought, but everything has a first time, the extermination of the seventeen roads of smoke and dust is only the beginning of your real life, after exterminating them, I will take you to the outside of the customs to eliminate those horse bandits entrenched in the gates, and open up the trade routes from the customs to the gates, if this plan can be successful, even if you can't become officials in the future, you can also use the power of your family to form a caravan, and ship the medicinal herbs and skins outside the customs to the customs to resell, as far as I know, those skins outside the customs, Medicinal materials are worth the old nose money in the pass, you can run a trip, you can spend a lot of time to live for several years, of course, this prospect is beautiful, but to really do it, we have to first extinguish the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road, if even the bandits like the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road can not be extinguished, what qualifications do we have to fight the horse bandits outside the pass, beard, they are much stronger than the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road in the pass, if even they can be destroyed, and the Han officials dare to look down on you, saying that you are waste, if someone says this at that time, you will take a big mouth and smoke them directly in the face。 ”

Fang Xiaoyu's words were very encouraging, and those who heard it were naturally enthusiastic, and they all wanted to fight with those bandits immediately to prove their martial bravery. V3 Academy

One of the Eight Banners disciples even said directly: "Young Master Fang, since our fathers handed us over to you, you can directly order anything, none of us are bad seeds, as long as you say a word, we swim in the water, go in the fire, and we are not heroes if we frown." ”

Fang Xiaoyu suddenly smiled: "It's not as serious as this brother said, although the seventeenth road smoke and dust are real bandits, but we are not weak, and we came out this time to suppress the bandits, not to give the bandits heads, so my goal this time is to control the number of casualties to the minimum, of course, the best is zero casualties." ”

Yi Ercheng couldn't help but say: "How is it possible to have zero casualties?"

"As long as the measures and tactics are in place, everything is possible. ”

Prince Shuo couldn't help but say: "Boy, it's not just a matter of killing 10,000 people and losing 3,000 yourself, as long as you control the casualty figure to 20% of the total number, the prince will ask the military department to give you credit and reward you with a background." ”

"Instead of rewarding me with my origin, it is better to reward me with more gold, silver and jewelry. ”

"Okay," Prince Shuo nodded, "If you can't do it, you and your brother will work for the prince for the rest of your life." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "If I let these Eight Banner Masters suffer too many casualties, those people behind them can easily spare me, you must know that there are great gods standing behind them, and the energy of these great gods is great, just bring one out casually is enough for me to drink a pot, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the cooperation with Uncle Dongfang and them to take down the bandits' cottage, I can now take everyone to extinguish the smoke and dust of the Seventeenth Road." ”

Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "Say that you are fat, you are really panting, you tell the prince how you are going to fight this battle?"

Fang Xiaoyu said helplessly: "I let you be equipped with bows and crossbows, horses, in order to shoot the enemy from a distance without having to contact with the bandits, the enemy wants to fight with us, they must first catch up with us, otherwise they will only follow us behind us to swallow smoke and eat soil, if they don't chase, we will continue to go back to harass them." ”

Prince Shuo nodded: "It's kind of interesting." ”

Fang Xiaoyu continued to say to everyone: " But there is one sentence I have to make clear to you, our goal this time is not to cross the enemy, or destroy the enemy, but to provoke the enemy, let them follow behind our ass to go around, for Uncle Dongfang to take down the bandits' cottage to buy time, before they capture the bandits' cottage, we must not expose their own strength, if they take the bandits' cottages, we will beat the bandits miserably, I estimate that those local governors will come out one by one to steal the credit with us, I believe you are not willing to give the credit and wealth you just got to your hands to give your hands to others, so this battle we are mainly harassing, not only to provoke the other party, beat the other party painfully, and let them see the hope of destroying us, only in this way can we confuse the local governors, understand it. ”

"Understood. The voices of the people were loud and unanimous.

"And the most important point," Fang Xiaoyu continued: "I know that your family asked you to come out this time to gild, and I also know that our Eight Banners are based on heads, but our purpose this time is to provoke those bandits and let them chase us to fight, so you must give me strict rules of war, our rules of war, that is, one blow and leave, it is forbidden to dismount, Or rush into the enemy camp to cut off the heads of the dead, I don't want you to take your own lives because of one or two heads, we are not responsible, now everyone check their mounts, bows and crossbows, and in two quarters of an hour they will follow me to the seventeenth road of smoke and dust twenty miles away, whether you are a hero or a bear, we will see this time. ”
