Chapter 1779: The Great Army Sets Out
After the garrison army arrived and trained for nearly three months, the army finally marched towards the Red Flame Mountain.
The army is nominally commanded by Lin Haoming, but all the people who give orders are Ma Huan, the commander of the garrison battalion, and Lin Haoming did not say a word.
Because it was to exterminate the Red Flame Army, Feng Yuzhi and Gao Liangsheng both saw off the army at the West Gate, and instead of the soldiers' families, they also rushed to see off their sons.
Many people know that there will be a danger to their lives in this battle with the Red Flame Army, and some touching scenes will inevitably appear, husbands and wives, fathers and sons send tears to each other, not a couple or two.
Although this meeting made Ma Huan feel a little uncomfortable and felt that it was easy to shake the morale of the army, the situation was already like this, and he didn't say much, and even the family of Lin Haoming, the city judge, came to see him off.
Of course, the wife of the city judge did not hold her own man in pain like everyone else, and even kept in a carriage, and Lin Haoming also met him in the carriage.
In fact, Lin Haoming's wife, Shu Siyue, and Ma Huan have also met a few times, Lin Haoming has been living in the barracks, and she will come to visit almost once every half a month.
Although that woman is not stunning, she is indeed quite knowledgeable, I heard that she was originally just a cook in Lin Haoming's mansion, and she was able to become Lin Haoming's concubine, and she really has some ability, of course, Mrs. Lin's craftsmanship naturally does not need to be said, and she and a few brothers have indeed been stained with a lot of light, so she did not urge them at this time.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Haoming said goodbye to his wife, and then rode with the others towards the Red Flame Mountain in the west.
When the army marched out of more than ten miles, Ma Huan deliberately urged the horse to Lin Haoming's side, and said: "Lord Lin, although I promised the adults before, as long as I don't arrange the troops, I can listen to the adults, but this time the Ximen send-off is really a bit too grand, according to my meaning, I should set up a cover in the camp, secretly set off, and hit those Red Flame Army by surprise, now with a big fanfare, I'm afraid everyone knows that we are going to encircle and suppress those mountain bandits, they are all hiding in the mountains, it is not easy to find!"
"Battalion Commander Ma, don't worry, I won't do this if I don't have any certainty, in fact, even if the pretense is laid, the people of the Red Flame Army will also know, but we still have to march in vain, in case the other party is laying any traps, we may suffer a big loss. Lin Haoming explained.
"Although the Red Flame Mountain is not very large, it only stretches for more than a thousand miles, but it is easy to hide more than a thousand people, how does Lord Lin know where they are?" Ma Huan said.
"Please forgive Battalion Commander Ma for this matter, Lin must keep it secret, it's not that I don't believe Your Excellency, but even if you say it now, Your Excellency doesn't know, it's better not to say it. Lin Haoming said.
"Okay, I'll listen to Lord Lin about this matter, it's only two or three days away anyway!" Ma Huan didn't insist on this matter.
Chiyan Mountain is only two or three days away from Chigang City, of course, this is when everyone is non-stop, and when they arrive at the foot of Chiyan Mountain, Lin Haoming once again took out a few purple-eyed wolves to reward the three armies and boost morale.
Just when the soldiers were full of food and drink and had enough strength to enter the mountain tomorrow, Lin Haoming was invited to his tent by Ma Huan again.
There were only four people in the camp, Ma Huan, Guo Junyan, Meng Kun and Shao Xuehan, and on the table in the camp, there was a map, which was the topographic map of Chiyan Mountain.
"Lord Lin, you will enter the mountain tomorrow, and at this time, you should also say where the Red Flame Army is, do you really have to wait until after dawn, Lord Lin, you will personally lead the way?" Ma Huan asked.
Lin Haoming looked at the map, then looked at the four people staring at him, and said with a wry smile: "Lin also wants to tell Battalion Commander Ma and you, but Lin doesn't know where the Red Flame Army is hiding!"
"Lord Lin, what do you mean by this, you told me before, and you will tell me when the time comes!" Ma Huan heard this, and immediately became angry, but he also knew that this was a military camp, so he still lowered his voice, but in this way, the anger in his heart was even stronger.
Lin Haoming looked at the four of them with a smile, and said without the slightest fear: "I don't mean to deceive you sincerely. ”
"You didn't cheat, why do you say you don't know?" Ma Huan gritted his teeth.
"I really don't know, but I don't know doesn't mean that no one in our army knows!" Lin Haoming said confidently.
"Lord Lin, what do you mean by this?" Seeing Lin Haoming's confident look, Ma Huan also saw that Lin Haoming must have something to rely on.
"It's not been a day or two since a few people came here, I think you should know who the city guards of Chigang City are!" Lin Haoming smiled faintly.
"I've heard that the city guards are the Gao family army, but it doesn't look like it! And this has something to do with the extermination of the Red Flame Army this time? Could it be that the Gao family still has a secret connection with the Red Flame Army?" asked Ma Huan.
"I heard that Chang Zhongmou, the leader of the Red Flame Army, has a blood feud with the Gao family, Lord Lin can't be mistaken, right?" Meng Kun also asked suspiciously.
"Others can be mistaken, but I will never be wrong about this matter, if the four adults believe in Lin, you might as well calm down, let's wait slowly!" Lin Haoming walked up to a few people with a smile.
"Lord Lin, what does this mean?" asked Ma Huan.
Lin Haoming didn't answer the questions of the four people, but took out five wine glasses from the storage bag, poured five glasses of wine, and then picked up one glass and said: "If a few people can believe me, there will be results in the middle of the night at the earliest, while there is still a little time, it is better to relax!"
Seeing Lin Haoming's confident look, Guo Junyan and the other three all looked at Ma Huan.
Ma Huan stared at Lin Haoming for a while, and saw that he was still calmly drinking the wine in the cup, and he also picked up a glass with a smile and drank it in one gulp.
"Qingye Xiang, what wine!" Ma Huan put down his wine glass and simply sat down.
Time passed little by little, and Lin Haoming took out five catties of green leaf incense, which could be regarded as a reward for a few people.
It was only the second half of the night, when suddenly there was a commotion in the barracks.
"What's going on?" Guo Junyan heard the voice and was about to go out immediately.
Ma Huan immediately stopped him and said, "Don't rush out, I think the person who led the way that Lord Lin said should have arrived." ”
Guo Junyan stopped, and sure enough, it was only a moment of effort, and a bearded man with a dozen people escorted three people to the outside of the camp tent.
"Come in!" Lin Haoming said loudly.
Soon the bearded man led the three men who were tied up into the tent.
The bearded man arched his hand towards Lin Haoming and said, "My lord, you really expected things like a god, these three people got up in the middle of the night and wanted to drill into the mountains, and they caught me properly." ”
Hearing this, Ma Huan also smiled and said, "Lin Chengju's judgment is really like a god!"
