Volume 1 Chapter 545 Expedition

"Great", "It's ready to go into battle......

In the afternoon of this day, Wang Gongjun's military camp was suddenly full of cheers and boiling, and something incredible happened, Wang Gong gave an order to participate in the next round of Beifu soldiers in a few days, so that all the soldiers were ready

At first glance, the veterans thought it was a dream, and after slapping themselves a few times, they were sure that it was true

Expedition to the Northern Regions to eat

"Do you hear it, get ready" Xie Lingyun shouted to the soldiers, and everyone immediately shouted wildly, grandma is a bear, and finally looked forward to this day

The news spread quickly in Beifu, and all the military camps were shocked, and everyone who heard it was surprised, how could Wang Gong suddenly change his sex? Because of Xie Lingyun?

Could it be that Kang Le Gong finally intervened in this matter? No, with Wang Gong's bull nature, even Kang Le Gong could not command him, after all, he was a faction directly facing the emperor. Therefore, if Kang Le Gong intervened, it was most likely that Xie Lingyun should be transferred to other armies, but now Wang Gongjun was going to be dispatched

This is really a strange news, but no matter what Liu Gaozhi or anyone thinks, Wang Gong has decided to send troops this time

If he speaks, it is impossible for General Wang to change.

He Wuji, He Changyu, Xie Gongxin and others are very happy, no matter what, Xie Ke has a battle, military merits are in sight, Ha Luha

"Hahaha, that old boy...... The old boy still dares to fight" After hearing this, Sun Wuzhong couldn't stop laughing, he knew very well that it was not Wang Gong's change of character, it must be Xie Lingyun's strategy, something that no one had done for many years, that kid came and did it in less than a month, it was really interesting

But then again, Wang Gongken sent troops to eat, not necessarily because of any determination, if he just crossed the river, and then more than 3,000 people walked ten miles and eight miles away, walked around a few laps and returned home. - It seems that a few years ago, it was not a good idea.

Xie Lingyun also had this thought, but the plan could only be achieved so far, and the next step would be on foot

The days of heat passed very quickly, and the soldiers on the school field sweated like rain, shouted loudly, and practiced day by day. Finally, when the morning sun rises on this day, the second food in Beifu since the beginning of autumn begins

"Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walking with the Son"

A burst of passionate war songs shook the sky, and the Jiangjun River also set off a wave of rapids for it, and this time there were a total of eight armies, and more than 24,000 soldiers left Beifu in a mighty way, singing war songs, or taking boats, or taking flying birds, forming an orderly military formation, and crossing the Jiangjun River in waves.

Everyone in Xie Lingyun's team was very excited, looking at the northern region that was getting closer and closer, the biting cold wind blew on their faces, but the blood in their hearts was burning

"Kill the devil, kill the demon-" Xiong Li opened his throat and sang indiscriminately, not in line with the surrounding "No Clothes" battle song, but he vented his emotions to the fullest, Yang Lazy, Xun Yong and others gradually did the same, constantly shouting "Kill the demon", and somehow spread again, the sound of "killing the demon" was actually resounding throughout the river, and almost all the soldiers of Beifu were shouting this slogan

"Kill Demons, Kill Demons, Kill Demons......

Even the soldiers in the base camp of Beifu were infected, and the sound of killing demons echoed each other, so enthusiastic, so exciting

But in Wang Gong's opinion, all this was so noisy, he frowned in disgust, these people know all day long to fight and kill, have they never recited Buddhist scriptures?

"Heaven will see my fierce loyalty," Wang Gong said to himself silently, for the sake of the imperial court, for the sake of the royal family, what does it do if he suffers some grievances? Let Xie Xiaozi come to this ghost place to wander around a few times

After years of food campaigns, the edge of the northern region has long been barren, there are no wild beasts, there are no demons, it is difficult to find an animal, at least there is no range of ten miles, eighty miles away, if you are lucky, you can find it, and only out of a hundred miles of land, there will be the possibility of a bumper harvest.

There is no unified route and plan for the eight armies, and hunting for food is like a bird looking for food, no one prescribes what to do, and whoever finds it is whoever.

So as soon as he set foot on the land of the Northern Regions, there were immediately five armies running in different directions, and the remaining three armies were led by Wang Gong, Zhu Qianzhi, and Zhu Langzhi.

The north wind was awe-inspiring, dead trees were everywhere, and the three armies advanced together for ten miles, and the surroundings were still decayed and lonely, except for them, there was no anger at all, let alone demons, not even a single mosquito could be seen

At this time, the two armies of Zhu Qianzhi and Zhu Langzhi continued to advance as a matter of course, heading towards the depths of the northern region, and the plan of the two armies was to cooperate and cooperate one hundred and ten miles to the north, and they would definitely make some gains.

"Stop, stop"

After receiving the general's order, more than 3,000 people of Wang Gongjun's army stopped, and stopped in this dead forest, and the veterans looked at each other, and they were already frowning, they remembered the time they had eaten a few years ago...... That's it

Almost the same position, almost the same tone, General Wang shouted to stop everyone, and then said, "Stationed on the spot"

"Stay in place," Wang Gong's shout reached the ears of more than 3,000 people......

"It's over, I know that Lu Dao will be like this, how can our army eat"

"Hey, in that case, why bother with this fun, you have to be a laughing stock......

"Later, my child asked me, 'Daddy, how many demons did you kill in the Northern Regions when you were in the army?, what should I say?? Daddy set foot in the Northern Regions, but he has never seen demons and has not killed them."

"Shh ”

"Little What is the sound of Lao Tzu would rather die happily than live so aggrieved"

The soldiers around them were talking, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and their faces were full of anger and redness, and they were really surging with emotion, as if they were about to mutiny.

But the left flank of the military formation was unusually silent, it was Xie Lingyun's team, the five hundred soldiers did not make any noise, even Xiong Li kept his mouth shut, it was not that they were not angry, the anger burning in their eyes was far more intense than the soldiers of other squads, but they kept in mind what discipline was, the team leader didn't say that it was okay to make noise, they didn't even let out a fart

"The whole army obeys the order, don't make noise" In front of the military formation, Wang Gongquite was a little angry, these rough men didn't take him seriously, what kind of system

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to reprimand Xie Lingyun for a few words, but what he didn't expect was that the kid's squad was like a group of wood, and he had to hold back his stomach without offending military discipline.

After all, this man was a general, and the soldiers didn't really want to mutiny, although they were extremely dissatisfied and breathless, they still began to camp in place under the leadership of the building owner and the team leader.

"We'll be here today, and we'll march five miles tomorrow morning. Seeing that everyone was busy, Wang Gong shouted again, with a sense of pride in his tone, as if it was a great gift to walk five miles more.

The soldiers were already too lazy to pay attention to him, pulling tents and pulling tents, talking in whispers......

After a while, Xie Lingyun's team was stationed, although the sky was gray, the time was not yet noon, five hundred soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, is it really like this to spend until tomorrow, if it is a few days and then return empty-handed?

"Team leader, what should I do?" asked in a deep voice by a large dead tree on the side. Xun Yong next to him frowned and said nothing, seemingly helpless.

And Xie Lingyun seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

This is to wait until dusk, as the night falls, the temperature in the northern region drops to freezing, everyone is like being in an ice cellar, the whole world is plunged into a kind of chilling darkness, there is no bright moon, there are no stars, the soldiers who set foot in the northern region for the first time, only then did they know that the original void can be so dark, even the torches that are lit up can only emit a little light, and they still can't see their fingers.

The darkness is terrifying, and some recruits are quietly more depressed in their hearts. Not including Xie Lingyun's team, the eyes of the soldiers in this area shone sharply, looking from afar, like a pack of hungry wolves.

In the humble general's camp account of the "Ghost Weather ......", Wang Gong muttered and shivered a few times, but this could not make him feel warm.

With his early Dao fetal life, it shouldn't be so cold, you must know that the soldiers of the first and second realms outside the Dao did not tremble. He just doesn't like it here, and he can't understand why those people are pondering all day long, looking for guilt?

Killing demons? Anyway, he wasn't interested, what he wanted was to stand in the court, stand in the position of the prime minister, give full play to his talents, and govern the country and the people......

"Asking me to come to Beifu to lead the troops is actually a real waste. Wang Gong muttered and sat down on the bamboo mat spread on the ground, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, closing his eyes and reciting the Buddhist scriptures.

However, at this time, there was a rumor of Xie Lingyun's invitation outside, Wang Gong was annoyed all of a sudden, and he couldn't do it for a while, he shouted "pass", and soon the young man in armor came in, and he said angrily: "Team Master Xie, are there any gossips outside?"

"It's not. Xie Lingyun was really speechless when he saw that he was chanting Buddha, and he didn't say anything, but only said: "General Wang, my subordinates saw that it was going to be night, and they came to inquire about the sentry." ”

Wang Gong raised his eyebrows, he really hadn't thought about it, in these ten miles, he couldn't find a ghost, so why was there any need to keep watch? He said, "Don't you know the situation on the edge of the Northern Regions......

"General, although the demons on the edge of the Northern Regions are scarce and almost extinct, but the art of war is cloudy, and the enemy must not be taken lightly" Xie Lingyun's face was serious, this was not a calculation, but a real idea, "Sometimes this kind of thing, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of just in case, so please arrange for the general to arrange a sentry post, and the subordinate team is willing to take on this responsibility"

"Hehehe" Wang Gong smiled, thinking that he had seen through the other party's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Ming people don't say secret words, they will have heard the virtues of the team leader for a long time, why do they have something to say now, but they are all so roundabout?"

Without waiting for Xie Lingyun to say anything, he waved his hand, closed his eyes, and said lazily: "Go, go, take your soldiers and horses to reconnoitre." But don't say that Ben will not tell you, there is no demon at all in this area, even if you turn the ground over, there is no one, why bother with that effort. And don't go far, if you don't return from the sentry, you should be a deserter. ”

"The subordinate retired. Xie Lingyun still made a slap, turned around and strode away.

Soon, when they heard that they could be sentry, the five hundred soldiers of the squad were in high spirits, and almost all of them cheered

In the envious eyes of everyone, Xie Lingyun's team walked in the direction of the west of the Dead Forest, the army came from the south, and Zhu Qianzhi and Zhu Langzhi went to the north, so these two directions were relatively safe, they were the left flank of the military formation, and they needed to go around to the east, so they chose the west.

The dead forest always seems to be the same, with rotting dead wood, gloomy shadows, and stinking dirt......

Xie Lingyun walked with the soldiers for a long time, the sky was getting darker and darker, if it wasn't for the close to the fate of the late stage of the Dao Fetus, his eyesight would not even be able to see the situation three feet away.

But just as some people who can't eat grapes say that grapes are sour, after walking for so long, there is not even a ghost, and everyone's enthusiasm has gradually cooled, and the demons within ten miles have long been eradicated by Beifu, where to find it......

"Grandma's legs, let's kill a hundred miles away by ourselves, okay?" Xiong Li swung the axe in his hand and slashed into the void.

"Xiong Li, stop. The sheep lazy who was walking next to him glared at him, and at this time, Xie Lingyun in front also shouted

He raised his hand, which meant to stop the crowd, and then the five hundred soldiers stopped in unison, and looked around, did they find anything?

However, Xie Lingyun frowned tightly, and his nose flared...... There was no abnormal movement around the breath, but there was a cold aura that seemed to be absent, and then there were two and three...... A large group

He suddenly closed his eyes, and scanned up and down, left and right, his breath became more and more clear, and he could be sure that a group of demons were coming towards their army. But he didn't have the joy of finding his prey, because there were so many of them, and there seemed to be thousands, if not tens of thousands...... They are the prey

Suddenly, a realization flashed in his heart, the minds of these demons in the Northern Regions are no different from human beings, it should be said that they are even more insidious and deceitful, and this is exactly their strategy in front of him

They know that after the first food in autumn, there will be a second time, and the second time will be much less. It is likely that they have prepared an ambush in advance, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, maybe their initial plan was to sneak attack the army that has taken this way, and in any case, now the Wang Gong army that has suddenly been stationed has become the best target......

These demon armies are besieging from all directions

"It's not good" Xie Lingyun hurriedly turned around and shouted to everyone: "There is an enemy attack, we will return to the camp immediately."

Everyone was shocked, where was the enemy? Although their hearts were full of suspicion, as soon as the military order was given, they all quickly and neatly turned back and walked quickly with all their might

As the faster the distance from the camp, the lighter the sense of those breaths, in the dead forest, the ghostly fire, Wang Gongjun's military camp was precipitating in silence, and under the discouragement, many soldiers fell asleep early

Seeing this scene from a distance, a cold sweat broke out on Xie Lingyun's forehead, the morale of the two thousand five hundred soldiers on the enemy was countless, and five-sixths of his own side was so low and lazy, he didn't dare to imagine what the situation on the battlefield would be once the two sides fought...... It has to be fast

He didn't dare to shout "enemy attack" back like this, I don't know if Lu Dao, with Wang Gongjun's quality, can withstand it, if because of his shouting, the whole army will be in chaos, and even panic and kill each other, it will be terrible.

"You each go and inform the two lords, let them quickly assemble the soldiers, and prepare to fight" Xie Lingyun instructed Yang Lazy and Xun Yong, and as soon as he returned to the camp, he rushed to the general's camp-

Wang Gong recited the Buddhist scriptures until now, refreshed, and thought to himself that even in the northern region, the power of the Buddha is the same, doesn't this show that all living beings have Buddha nature?

"General, something is wrong" was the same voice that annoyed him, didn't that kid go to the sentry? What did he want to do?

Before he could see him, Xie Lingyun had already rushed into the camp with a shout: "The demon army is coming, please take countermeasures immediately, I have asked the two lords to gather soldiers......"

"What, wait...... What?" Wang Gong interrupted him, glared at the old man and stood up, "Demon Army, Team Leader Xie, do you know what you are talking about? This kind of thing can't be used as a joke."

Xie Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressed the mutinous heart, and said calmly and quickly: "I'm not joking, nor am I talking nonsense, we have detected thousands of demon troops, and they are attacking our military camp, please don't waste any more time, and order everyone to prepare for the attack."

"No way. Wang Gong's face changed a few times, but he still shook his head, "This is only ten miles on the edge of the Northern Regions, how can there be any demon army...... If there were, wouldn't General Zhu have met them earlier?"

"The demon army has been ambushing before," Xie Lingyun was saying, and suddenly that aura became so strong again, getting closer and closer......

"Team Master Xie, do you know how much of a sin it is for Lu Dao to weave such a lie? Such nonsense to confuse the public, he could have expelled you from the Beifu" Wang Gong said angrily, but when he said it, he himself had some doubts, Xie Xiaozi is not a fool, what is he doing with this kind of lie that no one can deceive after the most deception? Then he is telling the truth? How is it possible......

The situation was urgent, Xie Lingyun no longer paid attention to this person, turned around and walked out of the camp account, only to see that the entire military camp had already been stirred, and the soldiers who couldn't sleep tossing and turning, and the soldiers who woke up from their sleep, were all hurriedly dressed and walked out of the tent to assemble......

"The Demon Army is coming, the Demon Army is coming"
