28 At the beginning of the war

The north shore of Yueyang Lake, above Jun Mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The leader of the Wulin Alliance, who is known as "swallowing stars and spitting clouds, the sun and the moon shine together", heard the heavens and heard it, and was standing in the wind at the moment, looking at the pool of turquoise Dongting Lake.

Behind him stood a group of more than 20 people, including Tie Zhenren of Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan, Mrs. Funeral Flowers, the owner of Tingtao Pavilion, and Gu Junming, the head of the Jinling Feihua School. Compared with these individuals, the head of the Huguang Wuling Sword School and the "Sword of the Great Yong" Zhang Nanfei is a group of heroes in the Huguang Wulin Forest, but the momentum is much greater. Regardless of the disciples of the head of the Lu sect of the Hedao Sect, the high-ranking disciples of the Han Shangren of Tianjing Mountain, or the disciples in the mansion of the Marquis of Jinghu Lu Xiao, the bodyguard of the prince of Lingyun who "flies with a sword and fills the world", the Wuling Sword Sect led by the "Sword of the Great Yong" Zhang Nanfei alone has more than 80 first-class masters today, and the entire Wuling Sword Sect can be said to have poured out of their pockets.

The place where everyone is at the moment, although it is called "Jun Mountain", or "Xiangshan" and "Dongting Mountain", is also the rumored place where Empress E's daughter cries bamboo, but it has nothing to do with "mountain" at all. The highest of them is only about ten zhang high from the water surface of the Dongting Lake, which can only be regarded as a large piece of highland on the north shore of the Dongting Lake. At present, this group of martial arts experts are gathered here, and it is roughly estimated that there are about 200 people, if it is judged by strength, I am afraid that it is worth a 5,000-person elite army. Everyone came this time in order to cooperate with the 20,000 troops transferred by Chengtianfu and work together to break through the Longyue Island of Dongting Lake, where Jiang Wangcai's base camp is located.

However, more than 200 martial arts masters on this Jun Mountain have been waiting here since the early hours of this morning. Most of them were afraid that they would not have time to be distracted in the fierce battle later, so they hurried here without even eating breakfast, but they waited until now hungry. Seeing that the sun was rising in the eastern sky, and still did not get any instructions to set off, everyone couldn't help but be a little restless, and gradually began to talk quietly.

That Wentian heard that today there are six out of forty, and he is already nearly half a hundred years old, and he is used to seeing strong winds and waves. However, this time the military salary was robbed, and the sixty-one guarantors, including himself, together with the old and young family members, and more than 2,000 lives of 17 dart bureaus, were all bet on this battle. Wen Tianting heard that as the leader of the martial arts alliance, even though he had already refined into a hundred refinements, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered for a while.

As Yan Sidao said, if he can break through the Dragon Leap Island, he can logically push the charge of robbing the military salary to Jiang Wangcai's head, and then take out the property from the Dragon Leap Island, and return it to the court as the robbed military salary, even if it is up to him to come forward and personally recover the lost salary, the merits and demerits are offset. However, if he could not capture Longyue Island, although Xie Qinghui's charge of transferring the Chengtianfu garrison for no reason had nothing to do with him, as soon as the 20-day deadline for finding out that the military salary had been robbed was reached, he and the other 60 guarantors and even the 17 dart bureaus would be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Wen Tianting hurriedly took a long breath and forcibly controlled his thoughts, but he heard the sound of footsteps beside him, and the funeral flower lady who listened to Tao Pavilion stepped on it in broken steps, and asked in a low voice in Wen Tianting's ear: "Alliance leader, if the color is already bright today, General Xiao Xie is still asleep. But do you want the concubine to come forward and think of a way to wake him up?"

Wen Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes. But seeing that on the edge of this Jun Mountain near the shore of the lake, Xie Fengxuan's second son, Xie Qinghui, who was also the commander of this war, was lying flat on the wet grass at the moment, holding his head in his hands as a pillow, sleeping soundly;

Wen Tian still couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard it, and before he could answer Mrs. Fuhua, the mysterious iron real man was as anxious as fire, and immediately said loudly: "The battle of Dongting Lake is imminent, but this kid Xie Qinghui is sleeping in front of us, and Lao Dao has long been annoyed, so he has to endure it for a long time. Right now, as long as the alliance leader nods, Lao Dao will pick him up!"

Wen Tian heard that although this Xiao Xie General was the commander of this battle, after all, these people in the rivers and lakes would still take their own heads, and they must not take the lead in messing up. At that moment, he had to calm down and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, General Xiao Xie met with that Mr. Xiao overnight last night, and discussed the battle of Dongting Lake all night, so that he stayed awake all night. Since the war has not yet begun, as the commander of the whole army, he naturally does not dare to be careless, so he must take advantage of this time to recuperate and recuperate, so that he can meet the battle in the best state at that time. ”

You must know that most of these martial arts masters present are old foxes in the rivers and lakes, and they know that Wen Tian's words are just to comfort everyone, but when they heard the alliance leader speak in person, everyone's hearts are still a little calmer. At this moment, Dan saw a horse galloping over from the east and west, and the person on the horse was in a blue shirt and a short shirt, seeing that this outfit was a disciple of Li Weiyao's Jianghai Gang.

I saw this Jianghai Gang disciple rushing straight to Wen Tianting and the others, and then he turned over and dismounted. Seeing that Xie Qinghui, the commander of the army, was asleep, he had no choice but to say to Wen Tian: "Alliance Leader Rongyu, because today's battle is too sudden, among the eighty-six gangs under the command of my Jianghai Gang, only six small gangs near Huguang rushed to help in time, and at this moment, led by Li Weiyao and Li Gang Leader, I have gathered in the area of Yueyang Tower, which was destroyed on the west bank of Dongting Lake. But...... But there isn't even a boat in that Dongting Lake, so I'll wait ......."

Wen Tian was afraid that this Jianghai Gang disciple would disturb the army's morale if he continued to talk about it, so he immediately shouted: "Okay, I already know." He couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Xie Qinghui, seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to wake him up, and thought to himself: "What a Jiang Wangcai, he actually used this trick to clear the wilderness, so as to evacuate all the boats on the entire Dongting Lake." In this way, no matter how good Li Weiyao and Tong Yewean are at water warfare, without a boat, it is equivalent to a bird without wings, and a swimming fish without fins, how can they confront the gate of Dongting Lake?"

He was worried, but saw that with the flow of daylight, the three-pointed and two-edged knife inserted on the ground beside Xie Qinghui had moved with the morning light, casting the long shadow directly between Xie Qinghui's sleeping eyebrows. At this moment, Xie Qinghui suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "The hour has come, and the armies obey orders!"

His shout suddenly spread in all directions, almost resounding throughout Junshan. When everyone saw that Xie Qinghui finally woke up, they were inexplicably certain in their hearts, and at the same time stood up straight. Wen Tianting hurriedly took two steps to inform him that there were no boats on Dongting Lake, but saw Xie Qinghui jump up from the ground, stretched out his hand to hold the three-pointed two-edged knife, and immediately more than 20 generals who gave orders quickly stepped forward and surrounded him. Hearing those generals keep talking, one by one they told Xie Qinghui that they seemed to be talking about the armament situation in all aspects, and Wen Tianting couldn't get involved for a while.

But seeing that Xie Qinghui in the circle just frowned and listened, and when a herald finished speaking, he gave a brief order to the next sentence, and the herald immediately trotted away, passing Xie Qinghui's instructions to a waiting herald sergeant, and then heard the latest news related to the battle situation from the sergeant's mouth, and trotted back to Xie Qinghui's side again to pray. In this way, the more than 20 heralds went back and forth by Xie Qinghui's side, and they came and went, forming an endless cycle. After about a meal, I only heard the sound of cannons sounding on all sides of this Jun Mountain, and with the sound of cannons, two pale green fireworks rose one after another to the east and south of Dongting Lake in the distance, which were particularly bright in the red morning sun, and it was naturally a way for the army to transmit signals.

Although those martial arts masters have been fighting in the rivers and lakes for most of their lives, when have they participated in such a regular battle between the two armies? Seeing that Xie Qinghui, who was the commander-in-chief, was actually in such a situation around him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, not knowing what to do. But seeing a middle-aged fat man with a shiny face walking on the side, holding a golden cigarette stick in his mouth, he hugged his fists and smiled at Wen Tianting and his party: "Don't be surprised by the leader of the Wen Alliance, General Xiao Xie has said first, as long as today's battle is together, he will concentrate on the arrangement of the entire battle situation, and he has no time to discuss other matters with you." ”

Everyone naturally recognized this middle-aged fat man, but it was Tang Yongxiang and Boss Tang of the "Songcui Building". After he said this, he took a puff of dry cigarette and said: "It's not a secret, last night, when General Xiao Xie and Mr. Xiao were talking and discussing today's war, the younger brother was waiting by the side and heard everything very clearly. Therefore, General Xiao Xie ordered to come down and ask the younger brother to negotiate with the leader of the Wen Alliance and others on behalf of General Xiao Xie during today's battle. Now, if you have any questions, just ask the younger brother. ”

Wen Tian was angry in his heart, and still clenched his fists and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Tang." "You must know that last night in the Songcui Building, this Boss Tang was still in awe of him, and he didn't even dare to smoke the dry tobacco in front of him, so he had to forcibly hold it. Who knew that at the moment, he was actually fighting with people, holding Xie Qinghui's order and arrows, pretending to be arrogant in front of everyone.

Although Boss Tang is nominally a martial arts person belonging to the Huangshan faction, he is actually a shrewd businessman, how could he not guess the thoughts in Wen Tianting's heart? I couldn't help but laugh secretly, and finally let out this evil breath in my chest. Tie Zhenren next to him also heard the advice of the disciples of the Jianghai Gang, and couldn't help but ask first: "Now that there are no boats on this Dongting Lake, how do you want us to fight Longyue Island?

Boss Tang suddenly showed an unfathomable and profound expression, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the real person, this matter is an important matter for the military aircraft, and the younger brother doesn't dare to leak it." As he spoke, the spark of dry smoke in his mouth was sucked red by him, and then it burned freely in the smoke pot, and jumped into a flames a foot high, startling the iron man.

Boss Tang showed a hand of "Spring and Autumn Righteousness" in front of Wen Tianting and others, and then laughed and said: "Mr. Xiao is clever and has already had a countermeasure. Hehe, when the time comes, everything will be known, and you will not be worried. ”
