Wu Chang stood on the edge of the martial arts arena and blew a black horn hanging from his chest on the high platform.

Some of the soldiers of the long knife battalion who were originally resting in the barracks quickly got up when they heard the horn, dressed and equipped with knives, and then the group ran to the edge of the weapon rack with neat steps and took the spears in an orderly manner, and soon the neat formation was completed.

There are eight people in each row, a total of eight columns.

Sixty-four people stood quietly waiting for the next order, not a single one looked around, and not one whispered, and an invisible aura of murder permeated.

That's what it means to be well trained.

Yun Peng strode over to Wu Chang and stood still, pulled out the knife at his waist, the tip of the knife was obliquely pointed, and shouted in a deep voice with resolute eyes: "Long knife battalion!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Sixty-four people answered the same word, and the sound shook the house, and the momentum made people look sideways.

Lu Yi had seen the infantry soldiers brought by Xun Feiyu in Beijiang, their armor and arrows and bows were well-equipped, and the long knife battalion naturally had no way to use some standard equipment that was expressly forbidden by the temple, but this momentum was no longer inferior to the regular soldier armor, and Yun Yi's hard work for these two thousand people can be imagined.

Yun Peng shouted: "Spearmanship, spread out!"

In the center, a soldier held a spear aloft, while all the people shouted in unison: "Huha, Huha!"

The team pulled away in an instant, but the formation remained the same.

Lu Yi thoughtfully, using slogans to mobilize the pace to achieve a uniform effect, which looks magnificent.

There are a total of nine types of marksmanship, which are not complicated, mainly divided into several basic actions such as stabbing, picking, and blocking, but they are extremely practical.

After all, the battle between the two armies is not something that can be solved by the level of individual force, how to give full play to the power of the spear in hand, save physical strength and hurt the enemy as much as possible is the most important, and fancy moves will not have much effect.

"Four, attack!"

With Yun Peng's order, a group of four people moved forward alternately, the tips of the guns were densely stabbed, and the tacit understanding between the offensive and defensive transitions was tacit, and the connection between the retraction and release was seamless, which would not give people a chance to take advantage of.

Yun Chen smiled, stepped forward and patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and said, "How is it?"

Lu Yi gave a thumbs up, but thought in his heart that if Lujia Village had the conditions to organize such a team in the future, he only needed to guard the main road into the mountain, wouldn't the village be safe and worry-free?

He has set foot in the rivers and lakes, especially the Wuxiang Brahma will sooner or later be known, it is inevitable that there will be people who have a heart to find out their origins and feet, people's hearts are unpredictable, if someone makes a fuss about the relatives in Lujia Village, it is really a snake hitting seven inches, right in their own vital point.

After Yun Peng collected the team, Lu Yi asked a lot about the Long Knife Camp and benefited a lot.

In the end, Yun Peng sighed with emotion: "If we can double the number of people on the existing basis, even if the alliance of princes wants to take my Liuyun Mountain, it will not be an easy matter." ”

Lu Yi asked, "Can't solve the problem of grain and grass soldiers?"

Yun Peng nodded and said: "The main thing is money and grain, Liuyun Eighteen Villages are interlocking, the mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the terrain is from low to high, there are many natural dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they are all mountains, the grain and herbs produced are limited, and it is the limit to support two thousand people, and it takes a lot of gold and silver to go out to purchase, but don't worry about the source of soldiers, all the villagers add up to the population of Liuyun Mountain, which is no less than 100,000!"

Lu Yi suddenly thought of the sand table, Liuyun Mountain is sandwiched between the Central Plains, Yannan, and Jiangnan, and the geographical location is indeed delicate, and now it is balanced to keep it, but it is not sure which side is strong, and it will want to break this balance, especially if the princes can take Liuyun Mountain, they can overlook the entire Jiangnan Province!

Yun Peng's worries are not unreasonable.

"Perhaps, we can talk to the Shepherd. ”

Lu Yi hesitated, but still spoke.

Yun Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The owner of the village has talked many times, but there is no progress, I have a lot of words! You are a guest, or have a good time playing in Liuyun Mountain! Where do you need to worry about these!"

After saying that, he smiled and drove people out of the tent!

Yun Yuan wants to invite Lu Yi to eat hot pot.

Lu Yi looked up at the sun that can roast people out of two taels of oil, and his eyes showed a strange look, is it a little inappropriate to eat hot pot in this weather?

Yun Yuan said with disdain: "Eating hot pot in summer is what a gourmand should do!"

Since there is something to eat, Duanmu jade naturally can't be left untuck.

Duanmu Lengyue just snorted, and Lu Yi bent down and stretched out his hand to make a gesture that the eldest lady would invite first.

Looking at Duanmu Lengyue, who was walking in front of Shi Shiran with his hands on his back, Yun Chen pinched his chin and whispered, "It seems that our brother Lu's family status is not high!"

Fools can see that the two of them are tired.

Yun Yuan said coldly: "Poor. ”

Yun Laosi's hot pot restaurant still only has two soup bases, beef and mutton, and when he saw the five people sitting down, he smiled at Yun Chen:

"The old rules?"

Yun Chen nodded.

The hot pot is very spicy!

I didn't expect the little red pepper in the hot pot to be so powerful!

Several people were sweating profusely, but no one stopped chopsticks.

Duanmu Lengyue ate more reservedly, and Duanmu Yu ate happily and shouted.

When Lu Yi took out a tael of silver to settle the bill, Yun Chen sighed: "It's better to have money! If only I had been there last time I robbed at Heishui Pass! I will definitely bring back all the grain you set on fire!"

Duanmu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then let's go and grab it again, won't we?"

Yun Chen rolled his eyes: "Last time, you were unprepared, and besides, you just ransacked it, where did they conjure up so much silver?"

Lu Yi suddenly interjected: "I see that there are still a lot of Song King Pass on the sand table not far from Liuyun Mountain. ”

The eyes of the two Yun Chen brothers also lit up, and after a while, they shook their heads gloomily and said: "Father will not agree! This kind of nonsense is indeed easy to get angry, if the King of Song knows that we Liuyun Mountain robbed him of his money and food, how can we resist if the army comes to attack?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "So you have to do it unnoticed! And do you think that even if we don't rob him, he will definitely agree to maintain the current balance with us?"

Yun Chen's eyes brightened again: "Do you have a way?"

"Let's go and see the terrain first. ”

Just do it, the five of them got out of Yun Laosi's hot pot restaurant and went straight to Yunmeng Villa, where there was a more detailed and accurate situation sand table than the Long Knife Battalion.

The northeast direction of Liuyun Mountain is all Sanhe County under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, and there are a total of seven passes with the Chiyan Army, namely Changhe Pass, Moshi Town, Zhuxiji, Heishui Pass, Tie Pass, Fenshui Pass, and Shuangfeng Town.

Among them, the distance between the water passes is the farthest, and it is also the Xiongcheng of the Chiyan Army's heavy defense, and it is the water and land artery of Sanhe County, and there are 10,000 troops stationed in the water county, all of which are Chiyan elites, guarding the northeast gate of Yannan Road.

Tieguan is only more than 100 miles away from Liuyun Mountain, garrison 1,000 people, the jurisdiction is vast, the Tieshan County under its jurisdiction is a well-known rich county, and the Yingchou Gorge near Tieguan is still the rudder of the iron lock gang that is famous on the rivers and lakes.

Wei Nan, the captain of Tieguan, is known as Wei Rentu by the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is said that he is strong in martial arts, greedy for cups and loves money, and is notorious in the vicinity.

Seeing Lu Yi carefully inspect the situation near Tieguan, Yun Chen reminded: "It's not easy to start here, Wei Nan was originally born in the Green Forest and has strong martial arts, not to mention that Dou Wenbao, the leader of the Iron Lock Gang, is also a famous master of foreign kung fu, and he and Wei Nan are brothers!"

Lu Yi thought for a while, then pointed to the sand table and said: "The nearest is Millstone Town, not to mention that Millstone Town is relatively poor, if we start with it, King Song will think of us immediately, so it seems that the place with the greatest grasp is the most unsuitable to start." ”

"We don't have to think about the same water divide, even if everything goes well, the distance is too far, and it is really easy for officers and soldiers to detect the swaggering through the city, and the Iron Pass and the Iron Lock Gang rely on each other, but it is a place where we can take advantage. ”

Yun Yuan understood: "Grievances in the rivers and lakes?"

Lu nodded and continued:

"The most important thing is to break the iron gate and fold it along here is the mountain, if we organize it properly, it is enough to empty their treasury for an hour! And according to the sand table marking, this piece is all wasteland, with deep grass and dense forests, which is convenient for the reception of people to hide. ”

At this moment, Yun Yi and Yun Hu'er walked in side by side, and Da Yuan smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, thanks to your silver ticket! Today, the Long Knife Battalion has decided to increase the number of men by 500! Hmm, what are you talking about?"

Seeing his father coming, Yun Chen and the others saluted respectfully, their faces were earthy, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Lu Yi thought about it and honestly said his thoughts, and his heart was also full of thoughts, after all, his own considerations and opinions on these things were definitely not as thoughtful as Yun Yi's.

Yun Hu'er covered her mouth and snickered, glaring at the two Yun Chen brothers fiercely behind Yun Yi's back.

Yun Yi glanced at a few young people with a complicated expression, not angry, but he didn't nod in agreement, just said, "Tell me what you think?"

Lu Yi honestly brought his thoughts together.

Yun Yi crossed his arms and paced on the edge of the sand table, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "I am very pleased that you have such an idea, and with the skills of a few of you, it is very likely that you can do this." ”

Yun Chen was overjoyed and said, "Father, you agreed?"

Yun Yi scolded with a smile: "You are a monkey, you are anxious! Where did I agree?"

Lu Yi hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask Uncle Yun for guidance!"

Yun Yi walked to the edge of the sand table and said: "The virtuous nephew has actually considered it more thoroughly, and the Tieguan has always been a relatively important material transit place for the Chiyan Army, and the pass is rich in food, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of fat on the side of the mouth, but after the incident at Heishui Pass, the Chiyan Army has already suspected us of Liuyun Mountain, but there is no evidence, and the number of detailed works of the Chiyan Army that we have captured recently has increased significantly! I think they will definitely be more vigilant against the Tieguan recently." ”

Lu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I believe that Uncle Yun also sees the critical position of Liuyun Mountain, King Song will definitely think about it, but now he lacks the skills to divide his troops, I think if Luoyang City is broken, he will definitely try his best to take Liuyun Mountain! and then threaten Jiangnan Dao! It can also cut off the passage from Luoyang to the north of Jiangnan Dao, so instead of being passive, it is better to take advantage of the present to strengthen the defense of Liuyun Mountain!" Increase the number of the long knife battalion, the king of Song really came to attack, and it is impossible for the king of Mu to let it go, so how to hold on until the arrival of the king of Mu's reinforcements is something we urgently need to consider. ”

Yun Yi looked at Lu Yi appreciatively, and then scolded his two sons angrily: "You two have studied hard with Lu Xian's nephew during this time!

Yun Chen said aggrievedly: "We usually want to say these words......! How dare you!"

Yun Yi scolded with a smile: "My father is usually so unreasonable?"

Yun Yuan nodded, and when he saw his father's glance at him, he quickly shook his head, and saw Yun Hu'er laugh out loud.

Duanmu Lengyue suddenly said: "Shepherd King Li Xiubai is deeply appreciated by the old Shepherd King, he is by no means mediocre, I believe he must also be able to see the importance of Liuyun Mountain." ”

Lu Yi said suddenly: "Actually, I think Uncle Yun can start recruiting more people to fill the Long Knife Camp now, and leave the matter of money and food to me to figure out a way." ”

Yun Yi stared at Lu Yi's eyes and said, "Virtuous nephew, there is no joke in the army!"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "I want to go to Sunan County first to meet the Shepherd." ”

"Are you sure you'll see the Shepherd?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "How do you know if you don't try it?"

"How long does it take to go back and forth?"

"A month. ”

Yun Yi nodded, beckoned to the road, pointed to a pass at the entrance of Liuyun Mountain on the sand table, and said, "Since you are talking about these confidential battles, then the old man will no longer hide it from you." ”

Lu Yi hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Yun, don't worry, my nephew knows the seriousness of the matter." ”

"Virtuous nephew, you see, this is the Snail Gorge that must be passed through to enter Liuyun Mountain, it was originally a military fortress, but it is dilapidated, only about fifteen miles away from Liangshui Town, the first gateway of the eighteen towns, the terrain is dangerous, and we plan to renovate the city wall here half a year ago, if there is no accident, it can be successfully completed in about half a year, and then we Liuyun Mountain will have the confidence to turn it away even if the Song King has heavy troops!"

Yun Hu'er said worriedly: "Liuyun Mountain has actually been intertwined by the three forces, and Snail Gorge is the most sensitive place, if we ...... it now"

Yun Yi said with a smile: "The Long Knife Battalion also has one of the most important missions, which is to clear the forces left by the King of Song in Liuyun Mountain, Luoyang is trapped, the forces of the original court have been weakened, and they have been withdrawn one after another, there is no need to be afraid, the Shepherd King Dawn Hall has been in contact with us, and the King of Song has become more and more impatient with Liuyun Mountain, in fact, there is no need for the two sides to hide, but he is now struggling to spare the energy and manpower to deal with us, so now is the most suitable time!"

Duanmu Lengyue interjected: "Lord Yunzhuang's analysis is very reasonable, and the enemy can not be defeated in a hundred battles only if he expects the enemy to be first. ”

Lu Yi squatted down and touched Yu'er's head, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, this time the eldest brother went to Sunan County to do business, go and come back quickly, you can stay here, okay?"

Duanmu Yu wrinkled his little face and wanted to cry.

Lu Yi continued: "Big brother has something to do with you!

Duanmu Yu asked hesitantly, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yi hugged Duanmu Yu and then said to Yun Yi: "Uncle Yun, I still don't worry about the children and villagers in the Red Wood Collection, I want to trouble you to arrange for someone to go over and pick them up, and those children are simple-minded and can join Dafeng Hall." ”

Yun Yi nodded and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

Lu Yi looked at Duanmu Lengyue.

Duanmu Leng Yue shook her head and said, "Let Yu'er take someone to the Redwood Collection, I have to follow you to rest assured." ”

Yun Yi smiled: "That's very good!"

At this moment, Meng Yaoyao and Yun Yingyue walked in, both holding trays in their hands.

"Don't talk about big things, come and drink the chilled plum soup that Yingyue and I brewed. ”

Seeing Duanmu Yu frowning, Yun Yingyue took the little girl over and asked, "Who bullied us Yu'er." ”

After learning the ins and outs, Yun Yingyue rushed to the road and said to the two people without worry: "Be careful on the road, don't worry, Yu'er, I will take care of it." ”

After drinking a bowl of sweet and sour plum soup, Yu'er's mood finally returned to normal, but she still had some resentment towards Lu Yi, and glared at him angrily, causing everyone to laugh.

Lu Yi stood up and laughed: "When we come back, we will turn the pass near King Song upside down!"
