"Five thousand?"

After a while, Tang Rong swallowed, and then asked, "How many enemy troops are there?" ”

That Zhang Li nodded, and said again: "According to the news obtained by my family's Jiedu envoy, this army is the one that the White Lotus Sect wants to conquer in the four roads, about 30,000 people, and along the way, there are people and sect members, and after joining forces with the Buddha Swamp, the strength of the army has exceeded 60,000. ”

"Sixty thousand?" Liu Yuan's face twitched, "The minister of the Qin mission will bring five thousand people, this is ......"

When he said this, Chen Shouxin on the side suddenly remembered something, his face was cloudy, and this expression was seen by Xiong Bi, who couldn't help but ask: "Shouxin, what did you remember?"

"Yes, Xiong Gong, the last general did think of something, but you all know about it," Chen Shouxin took a deep breath and said to a few people present: "Everyone, do you still remember that after this Qiu Qincha came to our Jiannan, he initially proposed to train soldiers, saying that he had a set of training methods and wanted to practice them. ”

"Yes, I also know about this matter, at that time, many people regarded this as a breakthrough for Qiu Yan to take charge of the military reform, but they also knew that his humanities became a soldier's classics, and they also wanted to know his skills, so they called some people over," Xiong Bi heard this, nodded, showing a stunned look, "What? Do you think that these five thousand ...... But I remember that the 10,000 ...... were allocated to him at that time."

"Ten thousand soldiers. Zhang Kaiyong took the words, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, "After this incident, you found that Qiu Qincha was sincerely training, dividing troops and training weapons, and several people formed a formation, but it didn't look much different from other people training soldiers. Over time, no one paid attention to it, but after the rise of the military tun, the Qincha really revealed the direction of military reform, and no one paid attention to it. ”

As he spoke, everyone's expressions were a little weird.

Because according to the current statement, Qiu Yan can mobilize a group of soldiers and horses, but he is not known by their knots, then it can only be a new army that has not yet entered the formal establishment and is still training, but the new army that Qiu Yan has trained. The soldiers inside are really not elite, but if they are not called elite soldiers, they are all called soldiers, and do other armies still have the face to be called elite soldiers?

"However, this number is not right......" Tang Rong muttered softly.

At this time, Chen Shouxin took over and continued: "I know something about this, after Qiu Yan won 10,000 soldiers. It was pulled to the border with the swamp people and the Fan people to practice, during which there were many eliminations, and at the same time some soldiers were recruited in the local area, and finally one of the three. but five thousand. ”

"Is it really these 5,000 people, but 5,000 against 60,000, but they can fight and win, this ......" can hear this. Liu Yuan sat on the chair and muttered to himself, "This thief army is too weak, right?"

..................

"The strength of the thief army. It's like this!"

Unlike Jiannan, the other armies of the White Lotus Sect did not encounter many obstacles, but they were smooth, attracting the generals and officials of Darui along the way, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Qianzhou, Jizhou, Yuanzhou, Yuezhou...... All of them were breached, and the Baisheng Army, the Zhennan Army, the Wu'an Army, the Wuchang Army and other inland military towns were defeated one after another.

Two days later, the western and southern parts of Jiangnan Province fell, and many officials saw that the momentum was not right, and with Lingnan officialdom taking the lead, they actually surrendered on their own initiative.

Of course, there are also those who fight to the death and do not retreat, or scold, or kill themselves with swords, the living are imprisoned, and the dead are also buried, for a while, the momentum of the White Lotus Sect is getting bigger and bigger!

At this time, the news that Qiu Yan led the Great Thief Army had just been confirmed by several major Jiedu envoys in Jiannan, because of Qiu Yan's secret order, these people did not make a noise for the time being, and they did not even rush to deliver the news to the imperial court, on the one hand, they were afraid that the news would leak out.

As a result, the situation that the White Lotus Sect had painstakingly managed had changed unconsciously, but the White Lotus Sect was unaware of it, but the middle and high-level of the sect were immersed in the victory of the army sent all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and they felt that great things could be expected, and the world was in hand.

Everywhere in the world that day, many rebel forces also corresponded to it and were ready to move.

"This half of the country has already been taken into the palm of the Holy Sect!" Looking at the continuous barracks on the other bank, Zhao Hong, the general of the White Lotus Sect's leading the Northern Expedition in Jiangnan Province, sneered, raised his hand and grabbed it, as if he wanted to grasp all the soldiers and horses on the other side of the river.

Behind him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, followed by a cold voice: "General, the messenger of Da Rui has come and is waiting in the main tent." ”

"Oh, Da Rui's envoy, it seems that he has come to Zhao'an...... Zhao Hong nodded, a little cold glint flashed in his eyes, "I know, let's go over, I want to see what news this envoy can bring to us, but even if there is no news, he has already provided us with an opportunity to come over this time." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked, and the surface of his body was glowing with an ethereal glow under the moonlight.

When night falls, everything should be silent, but it is difficult to hide the bloodshed on the riverbank.

The main force of 80,000 of the battalions gathered along the river was crushed under the offensive of the White Lotus Sect, and the camp was full of wounded soldiers for a while, and it was depressed everywhere.

Hu Bin, the town guard general who commanded several battalions, was looking at the battle report in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"The enemy army is large, and the use of troops is quite strange, it seems to have a master's layout, even if it is the elite of the north, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat it, not to mention the ordinary soldiers under my command?"

These soldiers under him were no match for the elite who defeated Jolo in the north, but after receiving the edict, they immediately gathered along the river, gaining an advantage in numbers and weapons, and Jiangnan Province did not rebel with Lingnan, so it could ensure logistical stability.

Originally, these soldiers and horses gathered together as a support, waiting for the imperial envoy to contact each other, and then decide on the move, but I didn't expect the White Lotus Army to go all the way north, along the way the city was lost, the military town was ruined, in just a few days, it advanced to the general along the coast, the soldiers came to the city, Hu Bin led the troops to fight, and there was rarely a victory.

At that time, the world was known as the river, the river was in the north, the river was in the south, it was a dangerous place, it was continuous and long, there were many military towns along the way, and there were sailors who were trained, so they really wanted to gather together. It's not weak.

Even with such a foundation, but in the face of the White Lotus Sect's "Northern Expeditionary Army", this army along the river is still difficult to resist, the White Lotus Sect's generals, all of them can be one to ten, not to mention the combat power, it is more like a god and Buddha to protect the body, ordinary sword wounds, they don't even take it to heart, and they are covered in blood and fight to the death!

Such a brave army. In all dynasties, it can be said that they are elite soldiers, and the White Lotus Sect's army has as many as 50,000 people!

In the face of such an military situation, Hu Bin's army suffered heavy losses, was defeated again and again, had no morale, and even more surrendered in the formation. Quite a blow to the forces.

"The more I've been fighting lately, the more weird I feel, this White Lotus Sect is too evil, now. It can only be seen whether the envoy sent by the imperial court can say that the other party has surrendered, thinking that the north has just won a big victory, and the emperor is in full swing. I don't want to be discouraged by others at this good time, if the other party is willing to surrender. Maybe you can get a lot of benefits. A strategist said to Hu Bin.

But Hu Bin frowned, worried, and said in a low voice: "If it may work for ordinary thieves, but the officials and generals of the White Lotus Sect who can say that they are in rebellion, what so many people want may not be glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and they may not be able to accept the imperial court's set! Moreover, if it is a simple traitor, it is enough to accept Zhao'an, and those officials and generals who betray the imperial court, they should understand that from the moment they raise the flag of rebellion, there is almost no turning back, how can they give in lightly?"

Before he finished speaking, someone hurriedly ran in, and when he saw Hu Bin, he said: "General, woe to you! The angel sent by the imperial court was killed by the thieves, saying that he wanted to sacrifice the flag!"

"What?"

Even Hu Bin didn't expect this result, although he realized that the other party would not accept Zhao'an lightly, but directly killed the messenger, which was tantamount to completely tearing his face, and there was almost no room for maneuver.

"Alas, in this way, several rulers have the heart to exonerate the Lingnan family, and there is nothing they can do. ”

With a sigh, Hu Bin knew that his next days would be very difficult, but before the thought fell, he heard a "boom", the ground under his feet shook, and even more dust flew, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Hu Bin was in the big tent in the camp, but after such an earthquake, the wooden cone that fixed the tent broke, and the whole tent collapsed, covering his people, and the lights in the tent were stained and burned, and the purpose was black and fire.

After struggling hard, Hu Bin knew that the situation was not good, and he guessed a little.

"Kill!"

"Hugh the enemy general!"

"The national teacher's clever plan to settle the world!"

......

Bursts of shouts and killings came into his ears through the tent, making Hu Bin's heart continue to sink downward.

"Such a night attack has destroyed the imperial army!"

Hu Bin's painful exclamation fell, and a cold voice came from the side-

"Do you still have the time to worry about others?"

A cold light flashed, and a man with a long knife cut through the collapsed tabernacle, revealing a face.

"You ......" Hu Bin struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes fell on the man, but the afterglow glimpsed the scene outside from the crack cut by the long knife-

It is the fire that is soaring into the sky, the blood is continuous, there is no doubt that it is the soldiers and horses of the White Lotus Sect who attacked the camp at night, but the soldiers on Da Rui's side were originally gathered from the military towns in the mainland, and there was not much vigilance, plus there was a big river and natural danger, and there were imperial envoys crossing the river into the enemy camp, no matter how you look at it, there will be no war tonight, but I didn't expect that this time came to attack and kill, and so it was a defeat.

"Good calculation! Good calculation! It seems that there are masters in your White Lotus Sect!" Hu Bin was full of sadness when he spoke.

The man took the long knife and said coldly: "My general said, you are also a rare general, but unfortunately the imperial court does not pay attention to it, if you are willing to surrender, you can be the vanguard of the Northern Expedition." ”

Hu Bin shook his head and said: "The general of the defeated army is ashamed of his majesty's kindness, and he should repay it with death, how can he surrender to the enemy, and he will have to say goodbye!"

"Hmph," the man snorted coldly, "I can't help you if I surrender or not!" (To be continued......)
