One by one, the Flying Tiger soldiers covered in blood and mottled stains walked out of the Jialin ditch. There was unconcealable panic on their faces, and their blood-red eyes were full of fear. Many people would look back at the ditch, and their eyes were full of fear. It’s relief and the joy of a narrow escape.
In the Fearless Army launching a full-scale charge, in Zhang Wuyang carrying the head of the leader of the Flying Tiger Army, he ran throughout the entire Jia Lin Valley, in the Yi Quan Army clinging to the treetops to show off his power, and in seeing the mastiff wolves tearing apart people or animals ferociously. After the horse's body, blood dripping from the corners of its mouth, and residual flesh between its teeth, the Flying Tiger Army collapsed. However, they did not run around, but stuck closely to the fearless soldiers.
Because these wild mastiff wolves always run much faster than humans in the mountains and forests. It is impossible to run, otherwise they will only become their meal and turn into a pile of wolf excrement and dog shit.
Wu Gen was walking in the Jia Lin Valley and kicked away a green wolf that was still looking for corpses to gnaw. If he hadn't asked Niu Chao to stop these wild beasts in time, there might not be any left in the Jia Lin Valley today. A corpse.
There were mutilated limbs and pieces of meat everywhere. This ferocious scene not only frightened the Flying Tiger Army, but also the fearless soldiers. The battle ended quickly, and from time to time someone escorted the prisoners out.
Wu Gen kicked the wings on the ground. These wings were all equipped on the Flying Tiger Army and seemed to have the function of speeding up the cavalry.
A small piece of spiritual jade fell out from between the wings. Wu Gen picked it up and wiped it with his clothes. Yes, it was indeed spiritual jade. Although it was the lowest grade of jade, considering there were so many cavalry, how many jade would it cost.
Wu Gen raised his head fiercely. From just now, Niu Chao was groping in the ditch, searching for these wings. No wonder this kid dared to take it all to himself.
With a bang, Wu Gen, who was stingy, hurriedly disappeared from the place, and several people came to Niu Chao, who was still working hard and stuffing spiritual jade into his crotch from time to time.
Picking it up, Wu Gen said sadly: "Good boy, you didn't tell the coach that you had something good. I'm going to punish you for bullying, and all the money will be returned to the public."
"My surname is Wu, I discovered this all, how dare you take advantage of others. You can't feed a dog too much. It seems that I've been treating you better these days. I didn't know that my surname is Niu. I The king of heaven and I are not afraid of this bullish temper."
Wu Gen didn't say much. At this time, his eyes were already full of thorn jade, and he didn't care whether your surname was Niu or Ma. With his thumb flicking the sword, a thin stream of sword energy was shot out. Niu Chao's crotch was broken in response, and more than a dozen pieces of spiny jade fell out.
"You..." Just as Niu Chao was about to speak, Wu Gen had already trampled him firmly under his feet, and shouted with enthusiasm: "Wu Yang, find me all the wings here."
Niu Chao raised his head and looked at Wu Gen's red eyes, but he wisely closed his mouth. He is not stupid, he knows when Wu Gen cannot be flirted with, that is when there is a fight or money, when Wu Gen wants to kill someone. Now that these two things are gathered together, how dare he make a mistake, so he can only secretly hug some spiritual jade under his body.
Soon, next to the piles of wings, there were two more boxes of spiritual jade. Although a lot of the spiritual energy was no longer pure, Wu Gen was very happy when he thought that his flying shuttle and Zhentian Bow were found.
"Let's leave here and quickly pass through the Southern Army's defense zone. Let's go meet up with Cong Yue and the others." Wu Gen was high-spirited, standing on the holly bird and raising his knife forward.
Escorting nearly two thousand prisoners and replenishing arrows, the Fearless Army quickly ran towards the northwest. After the Flying Tiger Army was eliminated, a gap appeared on the intersecting front lines between the coalition forces and the Confederate Army, enough for these thousands of people to pass.
Along the way, there were sporadic Flying Tiger soldiers who were inquiring about the whereabouts of their own robes, but they were all strangled by Suoji.
On the holly bird, Niu Chao carefully moved his buttocks and glanced timidly at the big bird who was leading the team to run wildly. In the Fearless Army, he was fearless, even Wu Gen dared to quarrel with him a few times, but in the past two days, he had been dealt with badly by the Holly Bird.
This bird is not afraid of mastiffs and wolves. Instead, it likes to fight among wolves all day long. Now it is like a wolf. Moreover, this bird also looked down upon Niu Chao, who wanted to secretly pluck out Niu Chao's tail feathers as soon as he met him.
When others deal with Niu Chao, they take measures in a measured manner considering his age. The holly bird was not the same. It was burned and torn with claws, and it was fatal every time, so Niu Chao felt a little scared when he saw the holly bird.
Ga, Holly Bird looked back at Niu Chao, his eyes were very dissatisfied, and he didn't understand why Wu Gen would let this dog-like thing stay on him.
Wu Gen sat on the bird and saw that there was no enemy around him, and he couldn't help but feel more relaxed. He turned around and looked at Niu Chao, who was looking a little haggard, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
This time he not only robbed all the spiritual jade collected by Niu Chao, but also took away his small treasury. This is like a parent in this world who has misappropriated his or her children's New Year's money. Although they feel that it is right, they always feel a little apologetic.
"I borrowed that money from you. When we have the money in the future, we will repay you double." Wu Gen smiled and handed Niu Chao a meat stick, patting his chest and promised.
"Ten times." Niu Chao became a little annoyed when he heard this, and stood up and jumped up.
Ga, a bird chirped. The holly bird turned its head and glanced at Niu Chao coldly. The latter was so frightened that he quickly sat down and stretched out three fingers, "Just three times."
The team soon arrived at the Confederate Army's camp, where the commander-in-chief was Zhen Fu Yuanxin. Looking from afar, in the camp, horses neighed, soldiers lined up, soldiers stood in great numbers, flags flew, and people came in and out from time to time.
Suoji had already come here to communicate in advance to avoid miscalculation between the two sides. This is also where Wu Gen received supplies. In order to travel lightly during this expedition, I brought very little food and supplies. Plus the prisoners, they were almost used up in the past two days.
The Fearless Army slowly walked into the camp. The soldiers of the Confederate Army stood in the camp, curiously looking at this strange and sparse army, riding horses, driving mastiffs and pulling carts.
But after seeing the wings hanging on each soldier, he felt awe again. These days, the Southern Army has been harassed a lot by the Flying Tiger Army, and it is really a headache. These people should be worthy of respect for being able to kill so many flying tiger troops.
In the Chinese army's tent, Wu Gen met Yuan Xin. This person is a middle-aged man with fair skin, a few long beards, and a somewhat frail look. He coughed a few times from time to time, obviously feeling ill.
When seeing Wu Gen, Yuan Xin only responded indifferently and didn't seem very enthusiastic.
"Wu Zhenfu, I heard that when you first arrived here, you killed a lot of Flying Tigers. This really helped our army a great favor. These Flying Tigers are not difficult to deal with, but they come and go like the wind, and it is difficult to catch them. I can't catch him, it's very disturbing." Yuan Xin motioned for Wu Gen to sit down and said calmly.
Now Wu Gen and he are both governors. They have equal status and are not familiar with each other. There is no need to pretend to be a leader, nor do they need to pretend to be friends at first sight between colleagues.
"It's easy to say, it's just that he has the means to restrain himself. But Wu Gen admires Yuan Zhenfu for being able to face the coalition forces alone for many days." Wu Gen flattered him calmly. He will be needed in the future. It is necessary to cooperate a lot and maintain good relationships.
"Wu Zhenfu doesn't need to be so polite. Everyone knows how difficult the Flying Tiger Army is." Yuan Xin's face looked better and she sat upright. "The Second Young Master has already told me that I will provide all the supplies for the Fearless Army." Provided. I don’t know whether Wu Zhenfu is going to stay for a while, or whether he will just pick up the baggage and leave."
"The sooner the better." Wu Gen smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "But I have a question, why should the Southern Army stop here despite the harassment from the Flying Tiger Army? "
"Do you know that the coalition forces have captured three of our cities? If the troops move forward, if Zhesang City behind them is attacked and lost by the enemy, there will be few big cities in front of Hanlu City to defend. By then, the thieves will be at the gates. , there will inevitably be turmoil in the city, and the young master will inevitably blame, which is a bit bad." Yuan Xin said slowly, raising his eyebrows, and glanced at Wu Gen.
"It's normal for the thieves to be in large numbers in the three cities. But this is also a good thing. Some of the coalition's troops will inevitably be involved in the city. As one goes, the disadvantage of our army's strength will be gone. Why should we die for a few buildings? The city is hesitating." Wu Gen put down his tea cup and his face became more serious, "If the delay is too long, the situation in the province will not change, and it will be even harder to deal with by then. It is better to find a way to get rid of the situation in front of us. If you help the rebels and use the power of victory to coerce all the families in the province, the losses will be smaller."
Yuan Xin raised his head and glanced at Wu Gen, and said meaningfully: "Wu Zhenfu, do you know where my injury came from? It was caused by encircling and suppressing several rebellious family heads in Zhaoqin City. The remaining family heads have agreed. After the restructuring edict is delivered to each family, the province will naturally be stable, so why should our army send troops in such a hurry."
Wu Gen was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard Ji Xin mention this before. He then smiled and said, "The governor is joking. Is it possible to settle the world with an edict? These families are not owned by the head of the family alone. He is just a pushover." What you say on the surface matters.
If he agrees, does that mean the family will agree? It is impossible to say that when the edict arrives, more families will send troops to rebel. The death of one family head will just push others to the top. If our army is delayed here, as time goes by, I believe more families will join the thieves. By then, it will not be a question of whether to defend the city or not, but to prepare quickly. Run for your life. "
"Ahem." Yuan Xin coughed a few times, his face changed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and finally sat upright, "Wu Zhen caressing the heart, which really makes Yuan admire me. It seems that we really need to send troops soon, It’s better to kill these thieves in front of them. That’s all.”
Speaking of this, Yuan Xin hesitated, "Now the lord is in Zhaoqin City, looking after all the family heads. The person in charge outside is Young Master Ji Chen. He has a kind heart and cannot bear the betrayal of the people of the Ji family." The army massacred them. That’s why we defended the fortified city. It was not easy to advance or retreat. There was nothing we could do."
Looking at the slightly innocent eyes of the other party, Wu Gen smiled and said, "I understand, I will discuss this matter with Ji Ye. What is more important, the city or the people, I believe he can separate. If these cities are lost, if the rebels can be Kill, these cities have fallen into the hands of the Ji family. If the young master punishes me, I will bear it."
Yuan Xin raised his head and laughed, looking at Wu Gen with more appreciation, "Wu Zhenfu is really happy. He is indeed courageous to be able to accumulate such power in Kuntian Continent. By the way, traitors these days. The attack on the Northern Army was very fierce, so Wu Zhenfu needed to be more careful.
The thieves' idea was simple: to eat up the relatively weak Northern Army and then concentrate their forces against the Southern Army. I wonder if Wu Zhenfu will have a way to deal with it after he takes office. "
Wu Gen smiled slightly. This was a test for himself. Which of these governors had not been leading troops for many years, so they had no strategy for using troops. "I have just arrived here. I don't know how the thieves are planning. I wonder if governor Yuan can tell me something."
"Easy to say." Yuan Xin asked someone to put the sand table in the tent and pointed at the distribution of the Ji family's soldiers and horses and the coalition forces one by one.
After looking at it for a long time, Wu Gen took out a long pole and pointed it at the sand table, "Yuan Zhenfu, the military situation is urgent, so Wu Gen will show his shame."
"Speaking."
"The thieves went all the way west from Yediyuan, advancing by land and water, and conquered three cities. It seemed overwhelming, but in fact the battle line was stretched and full of loopholes. The forward was weak, the middle army was bloated, and it was out of touch with the rear guard. Moreover, the various branches of the Chinese army were out of touch. They set up camp separately. It looks huge, but in fact they are wary of each other." Wu Gen pointed at the sand table with a long pole and talked eloquently. He had stayed in Shenwuyuan, so he could see the flaws in this kind of military formation at a glance.
"As long as our army cuts off the connection between the bandits, we can make them chaos. Specifically, we can insert a partial division to drive a wedge in the gap between the central army and the rear guard. In addition, we should continue to abandon the cities and The Chinese army pulled apart, and then looked for opportunities to penetrate and separate the other side. At the same time, a large number of trees were thrown into the Xiao River to prevent the enemy's warships from going up the river."
Yuan Xin was a bit joking at first, but when she heard the last word, her face became serious, her fingers kept pinching, and the look in her eyes towards Wu Gen was also very different, with more level eyes and less contempt.
The two discussed for a long time and finally roughly decided on the next step. After discussing for a long time, Wu Gen put down the long pole in his hand and said, "Zhenfu, the war is imminent. I must rush to the Northern Army as soon as possible. I also ask Zhenfu for your convenience."
"Don't worry, although you and I belong to the Northern and Southern armies, we have lost this battle. There is no difference between the north and the south. There are only two lost dogs. But that's it." Speaking of this, Yuan Xin said in surprise: "I have fought with the thieves in the past few days. After many days, the harvest has been pitiful, and I really can’t face the young master.”
Wu Gen narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately understood what the old fox meant. He laughed and said: "Easy to say, easy to say. This time Yuan Zhenfu and I fought against the enemy together. We killed and captured more than 5,000 enemies, half of them per person." "
"How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Hey, my brother, what are you talking about? I just hope that if something goes wrong, I will help you." Wu Gen took advantage of the situation and grabbed the other party's hand.
"Of course it should be." Yuan Xin also grabbed Wu Gen's hand tightly, raised his head and laughed.
Some people died, but not completely...
