"Report, there is an urgent military situation", his voice may not be, and a herald hurriedly walked into the hall and interrupted King Ye's words.

King Ye said unhappily, "Speak"

The herald opened the secret letter and said loudly, "Marshal secret order, there is a battle outside Yingzhou City, and the 500 men and horses of the Tongzi Battalion defeated Zhu Wen's 3,000 light cavalry, which greatly improved the morale of our army. ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone was moved, Xie Tong actually defeated Zhu Wen's five thousand light cavalry with a miscellaneous army of five hundred cottages, which was unbelievable, Zhu Wen crisscrossed the Central Plains, and was one of the best people in the world, and he would lose to Xie Tong, a fledgling boy, and he won more with less, how could he not be shocked.

King Ye hurriedly put away his tense face, and said happily, "General Xie won the first battle, and it is indeed the king's lucky general, pass the order, and order the Tongzi battalion to go to the Wu Si Treasury to receive all kinds of armaments and armor, Lord Ke, the five hundred horses will be allocated to the Tongzi camp first! In the future, the court will transport horses and allocate them to Lord Ke!"

Xie Tong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" He glanced at Ke Xu Cheng lightly, only to see the murderous intent in Ke Xu Cheng's eyes flash.

Ke Xu Cheng held back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Wang, congratulations to General Xie, the Tongzi battalion won the first battle, and took the lead for our Eastern Route Army, it is really a model for our generation, congratulations!

King Ye said, "It's very much in line with the king's wishes, and I ordered to go down, prepare wine and food, and reward General Xie!:

Wang Daoxun said: "The prince doesn't have to be like this. Since King Huai ordered our army to attack the Great Wall of Heaven within three days, time is pressing. The last general must return to the army to repair and repair after the Great Wall of Heaven is breached. It's not too late to celebrate, and the last general will rush back to the barracks!"

Even Li Zhaofeng had never seen such a loyal and brave person, so he had to say, "Then wait for Lord Wang to break through the Great Wall of Heaven and then celebrate!"

Xie Tong and the others returned to the camp with Wang Daoxun.

Along the way, Xie Tong's mood was very depressed, he didn't expect Ke Xu Cheng to be such a villain, no wonder the tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty troops were turned around by Zhu Wen's play, all of which were caused by internal strife. Otherwise, even if Zhu Wen is extremely talented, he would not have such great achievements.

He faced Wang Daoxun and said, "My lord, I don't know what the odds are for this attack on Changtian City."

Wang Daoxun stroked his beard and sighed, "The odds of victory depend on whether Lord Liao can withstand the reinforcements from Yangzhou, if he is quickly defeated, he will definitely fail this time!" He sighed again and said, "This southern expedition." If these two armies can achieve breakthrough results, they can form a joint encirclement against Zhu Wen, and victory is in sight. Of course, it is necessary to fight quickly, if the situation cannot be opened for a long time, Zhu Wen will break through the middle army. The southern expedition failed again! Zhu Wen may return to the Central Plains, and then he will return. No one in the world will be his opponent! Therefore, this time he will attack the Great Wall of Heaven. Our army will go all out to take the Great Wall of Heaven to the death, no matter how great the loss."

After hearing this, Xie Tong faintly felt in his heart that this battle must be very tragic.

When everyone returned to the camp, the Hebei army was already welcoming them. The news of Xie Tong's defeat of Zhu Wen had spread throughout the army, and everyone was waiting for them like heroes, and when they saw their shadows, the whole army erupted in a roaring shout.

Yi Wuxing rushed out first, hugged Xie Tong fiercely, and said excitedly, "Good brother, you succeeded, you defeated the invincible Zhu Wen." Big brother thinks you won't come back alive. ”

Xie Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't stir up emotions here, why don't you save Lao Tzu! Do you know how tragic Lao Tzu's victory was? ”

The 58 people who survived the catastrophe had already shed tears of excitement when they saw the whole army welcoming them so warmly, and it was unthinkable for them to receive such acceptance. They shouted excitedly, oblivious to their injuries and exhaustion.

Shen Lian led the previous cottage brothers to walk in front of Xie Tong, all knelt down, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the general, all of my cottage are willing to be loyal to General Xie, from today on, the brothers are the people of the Tongzi camp."

Everyone shouted in unison, "Hitomi Battalion, Hitomi Battalion!"

Xie Tong hurriedly pulled up Shen Lian, for Shen Lian, his heart was full of guilt, the first time was that he didn't save him when he saw death, and the second time was that he killed his husband Fan Zhai and stole his cottage brothers, which made him a little weak in the face of the cottage brothers who swore allegiance to the death, but he was a person who did great things, how could he show his feet, although Fan Zhai Lord died in the hands of Yi Wudaunt, he was no different from dying in his hands, he paused and said, "Brothers, the Tongzi Camp will be your home in the future, let's make the name of the Tongzi Camp louder!"

The crowd cheered.

Shen Lian quietly pulled Xie Tong aside, said "Brother Xie" and then hesitated, she didn't call General Xie, but called Brother instead, which made Xie Tong feel more comfortable.

Xie Tong hurriedly said, "Madame, please have something to say."

Shen Lian bit her lip and said, "The slave family is a female stream, and she can't do anything big, this matter of revenge for the owner of the village will fall on you, the slave family is actually very contradictory, I hate the owner of the Fan village, he caused my family to be ruined, but he has always been the husband of the slave family, hey, the slave family is tired, I really don't want to participate in this war, the slave family wants to go to Chang'an, be quiet alone, these brothers will be handed over to you, I hope you can give them a better future!"

Thousands of thoughts suddenly flashed in Xie Tong's heart, Shen Lian's departure made him absolutely control the brother of this cottage and became the person in charge, but it also caused him a more serious sense of guilt. He hurriedly said, "Madame wants to leave, Xie is inconvenient to stay, Chang'an is a good place, and there are many friends of Xie, wait for Xie to write a letter, Madame will go to Chang'an Piaoxiang Painting Pavilion to find a person named Nightingale, she will take care of you!"

Shen Lian smiled knowingly, and said, "Nightingale has a good name, it must be like its name! Brother Xie is really blessed, hey! I hope you can all come back! The slave family has gone!"

Xie Tong followed Yi Wuxing and others into the camp, and all the soldiers surrounded Xie Tong like seeing a god, making it difficult for him to move an inch, Xie Tong faced this enthusiastic brother, and his heart was full of emotion, which he created with his life.

Wang Daoxun said, "General Xie, you should rest for one night tonight! Come to the old man's camp tomorrow morning, and the old man will arrange a plan for the march!"

Xie Tong hurriedly said, "Obey!"

The next day, when Xie Tong woke up, it was already noon, the escape of the previous days had exhausted him, until this moment still did not recover to the best state, he hurriedly ate breakfast and lunch, and came to Lord Wang's camp.

Xie Tong's camp was not far from Lord Wang's camp, only a few dozen steps away, Xie Tong quickly came to the outside of Lord Wang's camp.

There are a few guards standing guard outside the camp tent, seeing Xie Tong's arrival, all of them have the highest respect, Xie Tong knows that it is a kind of respect from the heart, since Zhu Wen was born, the Tang army has always been several times the strength of the righteous army, but it has been repeatedly defeated under Zhu Wen's hands, and even defeated embarrassed, this is the first time that someone has faced Zhu Wen with less to win more, these sergeants have a sense of great pride.

Xie Tong said to a guard, "Is Lord Wang here?"

The guard said respectfully, "General Xie, your lord is in the camp tent, waiting for you!"

Xie Tong hurriedly straightened his clothes, lifted the curtain of the tent, and strode in.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Tong was startled, there were more than ten people sitting in the tent, Yi Wuxing, Huo Zixin and others were all there, as if they were holding an emergency meeting.

Xie Tong said embarrassedly, "My lord, the last general is so sleepy that he missed the hour, please punish him."

Wang Daoxun waved his hand and said, "Find a place to sit down." He continued, "The army set off two days later, this time is the first battle of our Hebei Army's southern expedition, not only to win beautifully, but also to fight quickly, the old man estimates, the enemy will hold on to the battle, the siege battle is inevitable, which requires non-stop siege day and night, to buy time for the entire southern expedition army, which general is willing to take the lead in attacking the city."

Yi Wudaunt was the first to stand up and said, "My lord, the last general wishes."

Several other generals also stood up at the same time and said in a loud voice, "The last general's wish."

Xie Tong hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "The last general's wish." He was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but considering that his cottage brother had not been on the battlefield of the two armies, he was afraid that it would be difficult to adapt for a while, and he should go to the battlefield to adapt to it, so he reacted slowly.

Wang Daoxun looked around and said, "Let's start the first battle of the siege by Dreadnought! Xie Tong's forward battalion is the second echelon to respond to the second round of attacks led by Commander Yi! The other commanders are on standby at any time!"

"Deling," everyone replied in unison.

Wang Daoxun said again: "Go back and prepare! Xie Tong, you stay!"

After everyone walked out of the camp, Wang Daoxun smiled and said, "Do you know why the old man left his virtuous nephew alone?"

Xie Tong really couldn't guess this time, he shook his head blankly, and said, "Please make it clear?"

Wang Daoxun laughed out loud and said, "Do you have any unique ideas for this attack on the Great Wall of Heaven?"

Xie Tong shook his head again, this time he really didn't have any good way, Ye Wang Li Zhaofeng did not adopt Wang Daoxun's marching method and route, so that he adopted this kind of strong attack method of fighting for his life, which will definitely cause great losses, if he can't attack the Great Wall of Heaven and the army is blocked, the entire marching route will be declared a failure. He hurriedly said, "My lord, can we plan as we please, let's pretend to surround the Great Wall of Heaven, and then send troops to cooperate with Lord Liao to fight the rebel army that comes to help!"

Wang Daoxun said, "This plan has been thought of by the old man, but the Great Wall itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has been on the verge of fighting between the two armies for a long time, so it must be able to hold on for a period of time, and the enemy must also realize that if the reinforcements do not come, it will not delay time, and the Great Wall of Heaven is not far from Yingzhou City, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhu Wen will not send troops to help, if the two directions send troops to help at the same time, the blow will be very large, with Sima Xiangru, Kexu City's people are factional, I hope that the old man's whole army will be destroyed, and he will not help a single soldier, and if our army retreats, then Lord Liao's 40,000 elite soldiers will definitely be wiped out.
