Chapter 711: Confrontation
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you were caught on purpose?" asked the Flame Pony as he ran fast, without looking back.
Han Fen sat in the back, humming a strange tune, and after a while, he replied blankly, "Is the Dragon King talking to me?"
"Hmm. ”
"Hey, I just want to see what makes that little girl different, so that you can choose her over the Imperial Master. ”
"What else?"
"And ...... I want to kill her to make the Master happy. ”
"You didn't do it. ”
"How can I do it, you always stare at me, it makes my back chills, and ...... She's really cute, and I'm a little reluctant to do it. Because of this occasional "reluctance", she was almost eliminated by Xiaoyuetang.
Gu Shenwei suddenly stopped the horse, dragged Han Fen down with his backhand, and looked down into her eyes, "Is the lotus girl seriously injured?"
Han Fen's eyes sparkled, "Dragon King, do you care about the Imperial Masters very much?"
"Tell me the truth. ”
For Han Fen, either don't say it or tell the truth, there is no third option, and she likes to talk to the Dragon King, "To tell the truth, the Imperial Master is about to die, your palm is really heavy, the Imperial Master is so cold, he is always shivering, as if he has eaten poison, she ate a dry bone pill, the effect is not very good, she then took two pills of the corpse suppression pill, it still doesn't work, and then find someone to practice the Mixed God Turn, a little bit of use, and then ......"
Han Fen wanted to introduce the entire treatment process, but Gu Shenwei hurriedly stopped her, "Stop, where is she hiding now?"
"She's hiding in ...... Hehe, I can't say, Dragon King, you are so bad, I want to take advantage of my lack of attention to set my secrets, and tell you, I am the best at keeping secrets, otherwise how can the imperial masters trust me?"
Gu Shenwei asked in a different way, "What about Han Xuan and Shangguan Shaomin, you promised to explain their whereabouts." ”
"I knew that the two of them were still in the camp of the Holy King when I set out yesterday. ”
Han Fen would even play tricks in the answer, Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, "Is Han Xuan still your friend?"
"Of course. Han Fen was very confused by this question, "As the saying goes, 'a lifelong friendship, a man for a night', friends will always be friends, how can it be ...... Not friends?"
Gu Shenwei hadn't heard this famous sentence from Xiaoyuetang, and he didn't care, time was pressing, he had to end the conversation as soon as possible, "Han Xuan may be Han Wuxian's daughter." ”
"The hall master is lying. "Han Fen was indignant, angry for her friends and not for herself," Han Xuan said clearly, the people who came to see her every year in the past were not the hall master at all. ”
"It can be disguised. ”
"The temper is also different, the imperial master asked in detail, and it was impossible for the hall master to leave the chief helm back then. ”
At that time, Xiaoyue Hall was restricted by the armistice agreement and was not allowed to leave the desert for half a step, Han Fen continued with a snort: "The hall master wants to divert everyone's attention, thinking that controlling Han Xuan can sit back and relax, and then she will surprise the killer. ”
These words obviously came from the mouth of the Dutch girl.
Gu Shenwei pondered for a moment and said, "You can go." ”
"Really?"
"But I won't allow you to touch any of my men, including the soldiers, understand?"
"What if I touch it?"
Gu Shenwei wanted to say "I will kill you" and other threats, but this didn't mean much to Han Fen, she only cared about whether her corpse could be dispersed to the north and south, "I won't pay attention to you anymore, and I won't talk to you anymore." ”
Gu Shenwei was glad that there were no outsiders around, otherwise, the prestige of the Dragon King would probably be ruined.
Han Fen was taken aback, "Don't be like this, I'll try not to touch your subordinates, if the Imperial Master gives an order, I will also push it to others." ”
Han Fen ran very suddenly, and Gu Shenwei just wanted to redefine the meaning of "touch", but she had already disappeared into the grass.
The lotus girl was hiding in the shadows, Han Fen might be the only clue to know Xiaoyuetang's movements, Gu Shenwei left her surname for her life, but she had great doubts about what she said.
Han Fen doesn't lie, but she will take whatever ideas the Dutch girl instills in her words seriously.
Playing tricks with the Dutch girl, Gu Shenwei is like playing a game of two-handed fighting, because he knows too much, but he can't judge which ones are true and which ones are false.
Gu Shenwei saw Shangguan Ru's guards at the border of the patrol area and ordered them to set off immediately to pick up the head of the sect.
When the sun rose high, Gu Shenwei hurried back to the barracks, and saw in the distance the army in the distance, against the background of the vast grassland, it seemed very small, as the distance shortened, the crowd became larger and larger, and the pressure caused by swords, guns, bowstrings and war horses also came to his face.
Before the battle began, Gu Shenwei stopped on a small hill for a while, and for the first time got the opportunity to observe the combat methods of the Beiting people.
There were nearly 30,000 men on each side, miles apart, and they circled very slowly, each trying to move to the other's flank while avoiding encirclement.
Exactly the same tactics, the side of the Holy King had a slight advantage in numbers.
Occasionally, a warlord drove out of the queue and invited the enemy to fight, and in the brief moment when Gu Shen was watching, two people shot at each other, and after three arrows, one fell off his horse.
The Beiting army does not have a rigorous queue, and outsiders who are not familiar with this will think that these two armies are very scattered, like a rabble, Gu Shenwei knows that the level of the Beiting army is actually extremely clear, the soldiers are staring at the ten-commander, the ten-man is staring at the centurion's banner, the centurion is staring at the thousand-commander, and so on, and no one is allowed to act without authorization.
The seemingly untidy team has complex rules inside, and the horses must leave appropriate gaps between them, so that the action of gathering and dispersing can be completed in a short time.
The Holy King annexed the forces of the other two kings, and the size of the army increased again, this time without sending the full main force.
But to Gu Shenwei's surprise and surprise, the three armies of the Yao King, the Ying King, and the Xiao Yan clan were actually merged into one, and it seemed that they were under the command of the same person.
He remembered clearly that when he set off yesterday evening, King Yao's army was still suspicious, King Shu Litu wanted to commit suicide, and Xiao Yan refused to hand over all the troops, so it didn't look like they wanted to unite.
Could it be that in the face of a common rival, the three sides changed their positions at the same time?
A procession of dozens of people headed towards the hill, and someone shouted in the distance, "Is it the Dragon King?"
Gu Shenwei's position was within the control of King Yao's army, so he replied loudly: "It's me." ”
The soldiers separated slightly, Fang Wen came running on horseback, his face was full of sweat, and the first thing he said was: "Please enter the battlefield immediately." ”
The military advisor has always adhered to the principle that the king does not come to the sword soldier in person, and this is the first time that he has taken the initiative to make such a request.
Gu Shenwei drove his horse towards his own army, and Xiang Fang Wen gave an order, "Simply put. ”
"To put it simply, the Xiao Yan clan agreed to hand over all the army, keeping only five hundred guards, and the whole army of King Yao accepted Shu Litu as the new king, merged with the army of King Yue, and then the army of King Shengyu came. ”
This was even more perfect than the most optimistic expectations, and Gu Shenwei understood that there must be many reasons and transactions behind this, but he only had time to ask one more question: "Who is the commander?"
"New King Shulitu, when the Dragon King arrives at the front line, it will be you. ”
The fact that a twelve-year-old child could command an army of more than 20,000 people and successfully contend with the enemy made the Holy King dare not attack rashly, and Gu Shenwei felt more and more incredible.
There are rules for the Beiting cavalry even if they give way, left or right, the same hundred team will never be divided into two sides, Gu Shenwei noticed this detail, but he didn't understand how they formed a habit.
"Dragon King. The crowd whispered......
"Dragon King!" someone shouted excitedly.
Gu Shenwei soon came to the forefront, unlike the Western Regions and the Central Plains army, the commander of the North Court wants to be stationed in front of the formation, in fact, there is not much danger, all the most elite cavalry near the commander, in an emergency, can soon form a tight protective circle.
Riding on a tall warhorse, Shulitu looked even thinner, and his barely put on armor swayed, as if it could crush him at any moment.
Nie Zeng and Han Wuxian dutifully acted as personal guards, and more than thirty generals surrounded them.
To the comfort of the teenage killer, he didn't have to carry a strange woman with a disheveled hair in front of tens of thousands of people.
Han Wuxian also seemed to finally understand what it meant to be normal, with shoes on her feet, and even simple leather armor like the female soldiers, but she was still extremely eye-catching, because she was wearing not a helmet of any style, but a gorgeous garland of flowers, and her long hair was still draped behind her.
Shulitu turned to meet the arrival of the dragon king, and the whole army stopped moving, and the enemy army on the opposite side also stopped.
"The Dragon King arrived just in time. Schuritu smiled, as if the assassination had never happened.
"Isn't the Holy King ready to go to war?" Gu Shenwei nodded slightly to Shu Litu, Fang Wen claimed that the Dragon King was the real commander, but he knew very well that his power could only be realized through this child.
Something must have happened last night, which made Shu Litu change his attitude, and there was no longer half a bit of hostility in his still immature voice, "The Holy King made a miscalculation, thinking that as soon as the previous King of Shadow and King Yao died, the army would fall into division, and once our army united, he would not dare to attack. ”
Fang Wen interjected and explained: "The Holy King instigated a small number of officers to mutiny, and was taken down by His Highness in one fell swoop. ”
"That's all thanks to the military advisors. ”
The two politely pushed each other.
Gu Shenwei felt that he must have missed a wonderful scene.
While he was talking, the Saint King rode out of his army, roaring from his mouth, and challenged this side.
An officer surrounding Shulitu mounted his horse to meet him, and the soldiers cheered in unison.
"Azheba is really a fierce general, but it's a pity that the army in the close service is buried. Shulitu sincerely admired, "The dragon king has good eyesight, and he has received such a marksman." ”
Nie Zeng excitedly added, "Azheba has already shot seven enemy generals, and this is the eighth. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't know much about Azheba's archery, so he watched it carefully.
The one-man battle of the Beiting army was also different, and when they reached a certain distance, the two sides would no longer charge at each other, but would circle in a line close to an oval, ensuring that they could draw their bows sideways.
In the middle of the battlefield, the enemy general shot an arrow first, and Azheba dodged on the back of his horse, and when the opponent pulled the bowstring again and missed the shot, he suddenly straightened his body, did not make an aiming movement, and shot an arrow casually.
Without any tricks, the eighth enemy general fell off his horse.
The cheers were thunderous, and even on the side of the Holy King, many cavalry shouted loudly.
"Our army is full of momentum, please give the Dragon King an order. Fang Wen urged in a low voice.
Gu Shenwei shook his head, "Please give an order to His Royal Highness, the King of Shadow, the King of Yao, and the King of Kua." ”
The people of Beiting worship the heroes of the grassland, this is a tradition that cannot be changed, and the dragon king has to get used to commanding behind the scenes.
Fang Wen was slightly stunned, and soon there was a more serious accident that surprised him.
A scout approached at a rapid pace close to the edge of the line, and before he could stop his horse, he breathlessly said, "The close guards, many of them, about fifty or sixty thousand people, are coming." ”
There was a slight stirring in the army of the Holy King on the opposite side, and it was obvious that they had also heard the news.
