In the big tent, Lu Lie's face was pale, and he wished he could cut Wu Gen into pieces. This white-eyed wolf, it was all the money paid by the Lu family to create such a righteous falcon army. Now it's good, all for Someone else made the wedding dress.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Lie forced a smile and said: "Don't be alarmed, there are only more than a hundred falcons in this volunteer falcon army, and there are also a few weird flying shuttles. Even if they are all sent out, how many people will there be? The flying shuttles will not be there for the time being. No matter who has never seen this, it’s just to scare people, and it’s just an irritation when faced with so many people like us.”
Gu Yangsi frowned and walked to the handsome case, bowed his hands and said, "Brother Lu, I don't know if I should say something or not."
Lu Lie also stood up from his seat and said with a forced smile, "Brother Gu, it's okay to tell the truth. To be honest, it was Brother Gu who secretly initiated the resistance against Bao Ji a few years ago and secretly connected our families. Let's meet each other. , I am in the light, you are in the dark.
This time we raise the army, most of the military strategies come from my brother. In fact, you are more suitable to be the leader of the alliance. Brother Gu, just tell me what you think. If you continue to be so polite, I will have no shame in sitting in this seat. "
"Leader Lu, there is no need to be so polite. I, Guyangsi, am of low cultivation and can only come up with ideas in the military tent. To truly fight in battle, I need brave men like Brother Lu and all of you young masters.
Although Brother Lu is sitting peacefully, although there have been occasional disputes in the accounts these days, they are all for the sake of killing Ji, which is normal. The Lu family sent the largest number of troops this time, and they were also responsible for the supply. If you don't become the leader of the alliance, I'm afraid our coalition will be dispersed. "Gu Yangsi smiled and pushed Lu Lie back into his seat.
Recalling that Ji Xin forced the restructuring, in order to preserve the family, Guyang thought hard for a long time before choosing the Cang family and the Lu family to quietly test out the situation in order to jointly resist the restructuring. Fortunately, these families had also been grudged against the Ji family for a long time, so they reached an agreement covertly and agreed to move forward and retreat together.
Originally, I just wanted several families to join forces to force the Ji family to take back their lives, but I didn't expect that today they would come to the point of fighting each other.
"When I was in Hanlu City, I was very interested in the Yi Falcon Army. I also went to Xingshan to investigate on the spot, but Wu Gen was very careful about it and never saw its true appearance." Gu Yangsi relaxed in the tent. Walking slowly, he sighed as he walked, "Every family has birds of prey, but they are used to spy on the enemy or for the nobles at home to enjoy. No one thought that these birds would be gathered together for attack.
I have a hunch that if there is another war in the future, the Rebel Army will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored, enough to make the final decision in a war. "
Looking at the somewhat puzzled looks of everyone, Gu Yangsi smiled slightly, knowing that these people could not accept such an idea for a while, "Don't talk about this far, just look at the present. If the Rebel Army attacks my granary, such a long road How can our army take precautions on the road? It is impossible to send heavy troops to guard everywhere, and even spreading the coalition forces all the way is not enough."
"Then what should we do?" Qiu Linhe looked irritated and spread his hands, "Is it possible that we can retreat and guard these food channels?"
"Of course not." Gu Yangsi raised his sword eyebrows slightly and snapped the folding fan in his hand. "On the contrary, our army must rush forward quickly. Only by annihilating the Northern Army as soon as possible can we reduce the threat to the grain road. Where can there be a thousand days?" The principle of guarding against thieves.”
"Okay, then let's gather all the soldiers and horses and go straight to the Beijun camp. There are many of us, and we can crush them to death." Qiu Linhe slapped the handrail heavily, turned around and glanced at everyone.
"Then we still need to protect some food roads. It's hard to say that we can capture the other side in a day or two." Cang Yi said with a smile, "The troops of several companies are far better than the Northern Army. I think we should divide some troops. It’s better to guard the main granary.”
"Exactly." Gu Yangsi smiled at Qiu Linhe and said: "I see that Brother Qiu Lin's Flying Tiger Army has been fighting for many days, and it is running very fast. It happens to be resting in the rear for a few more days, and it is also responsible for guarding the grain road. , I don’t know what brother Qiulin wants.”
Lu Lie's heart moved, and he also looked at Qiu Linhe. He had been annoyed to death by this man in the past few days. If it weren't for the sake of his allies, he would have driven him somewhere long ago.
Qiu Linhe pondered slightly, and nodded pretending to be reserved, "It's not impossible to protect the food road, so please worry about the future war."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Brother Qiulin." Lu Lie breathed a sigh of relief. He could have some peace and quiet for a few days by driving him away. "Besides, Brother Ba's men should not move. They are still stationed in Yediyuan and will cooperate with him." Brother Qiu Lin's men and horses will guard the grain road. How about asking Brother Cang to send 10,000 men to the southern front to replace Brother Qiu Lin's Flying Tiger Army."
Cang Yi smiled slightly and said, "You can do anything you want."
"Young Master Murong, I wonder if your five thousand troops can be transferred to the main camp." Lu Lie turned to look at Murong Yuqiang who had been silent.
Murong Yuqiang was startled. She didn't know why the other party suddenly asked this question. However, since the war started, her family had been huddled in Yediyuan, which was indeed a bit awkward. She could only nodded and agreed: "It's all at the command of Alliance Leader Lu."
Lu Lie's expression softened slightly. From the beginning, every family had some doubts about the Murong family and worried that they would be involved with the Ji family. But the edict that flowed out from Zhaoqin City this time was the only one that did not include the six families, which made everyone put down their suspicions.
"The heads of our six families are alive and dead in Zhaoqin City. If we can capture Hanlu City this time, we can go directly to Zhaoqin City and rescue all the heads of the family. We invite the Murong family's troops and horses to come here this time. If we attack again later, I just asked Young Master Murong to lead troops to garrison the city." Lu Lie sighed and solemnly promised: "Young Master Murong, please rest assured, even if Hanlu City is captured, your sister's life will definitely be safe as long as she leaves the Ji family. Please take care of the Murong family. That’s fine.”
Murong Yuqiang looked slightly gloomy, lowered her head and sighed, "Now that Zhaoqin City has been closed for many days, no news can be revealed. We don't know who is in charge in the city and who issued the edict." m.
Gu Yangsi frowned slightly, tapping his palm with a folding fan, "There are many strange things about this incident. Who issued this edict? I guess Ji Xin is not dead, otherwise no one in the Ji family can pressure the heads of the family to agree to the restructuring. . We must send troops as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."
Everyone in the tent was thoughtful. Ji Xin, the sick tiger, was dead but not stiff. The tiger's power was still there. With this big flag, many families would stop what they were planning to do.
After the military meeting, Lu Lie and Gu Yangsi looked at each other and walked back together.
"Brother Gu, if Ji Xin had not died, other families would have wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. Many of the help we originally expected would not be there, and we would have to rely on ourselves to conquer Hanlu City. I'm afraid that the Ji family guards will come back. Rescue, then we will be a little passive." Lu Lie clasped his hands behind his back, thinking a lot.
"Although the situation is somewhat different from what we expected, it has generally remained unchanged. Look at the Ji family's guards deployed in various places. They have never moved." Gu Yangsi looked serious and said as he walked: "This is the same as playing chess. Now the overall situation is They are all dead, only Hanlu City is a living chess piece. The Ji family dare not touch the guards. Believe it or not, as soon as they leave, flags will be shown in various places, and the whole chessboard will be in chaos. You said that if the whole situation is in chaos, Yu Ji It’s good for the family and good for us.”
Lu Lie thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "It is true. Although the Ji family forced each family head to agree to the restructuring, there are still so many people in each family. How can these people be willing to lose their status, land, and luxurious houses.
If the head of the family dies, then he will die, and there will be another one. In this case, those guards do not need to be included in this battle. Only against the North and South Army, I still have confidence. correct. Lu Lie suddenly stopped and said, "The war is about to begin. Brother Gu, when will your methods be launched?" "
"Don't be hasty. If we face the Northern Army in the early stage, I can swallow it with my strength. Release it early so that the enemy can take precautions. When the Northern and Southern armies gather together, we can launch a sudden attack and complete the victory in one battle. By then we will definitely be able to defeat the Northern Army." Catch all the northern and southern armies in one fell swoop." Gu Yangsi was impressed and stuffed his fan into his sleeve, "Wu Gen is not easy to fight. Our army must be careful to prevent falling into his trap. His biggest shortcoming is at the moment. Even if you have few soldiers, you don't need to pay attention to any strategy when fighting him, just use force to suppress him."
Lu Lie nodded, Wu Gen fought several battles on Panshi Road, and they were all remarkable. He was indeed not the same person as Yi Yu. "Thinking about it now, it is unbelievable that Wu Gen had the idea of betting on both sides at that time. He took the opportunity to To expand our own strength, the funny thing is, I thought I poached it myself.”
Gu Yangsi smiled slightly and stopped, "Even if such a person returns to the Ji family, I'm afraid he won't be too loyal. The Ji family also knows that he won't be loyal, but now that the army is approaching the city, they have to use their courage and abandon their loyalty. .
I might as well think of a way to spread some news in Hanlu City, just saying that Wu Gencun wanted to take the opportunity to strengthen himself and did not want to fight to the death for the Ji family. After all, without Ji Xin, Ji Chen is currently in charge of the Ji family. Let's see if he can tolerate Wu Gen. "
"A counter-intentional plan, haha." Lu Lie shook his head slightly, "Ji Chen has a soft ear. If he talks too much, he won't believe it. By the way, do you think that person will come?"
Gu Yangsi looked solemn and looked into the distance, "Brother Lu, do you have the heart to rule the roost?"
Lu Lie took a deep look at the other party and said, "Based on the current situation, if we, the Lu family, want to rule the roost, we are seeking death. These families will not take action in a war, they just want to follow behind and take advantage. If you and I have the ambition to rule the roost, believe it or not, these people will do what they want. Surround us like dogs and tear you and me to pieces.”
"Brother Lu is wise." Gu Yangsi laughed.
On the second day, the coalition forces dispatched a large army and marched towards the northern army's defensive line. Lu Lie threw the central army to Cang Yi and personally supervised the formation in front.
In the front army, the Lu family's soldiers were in the middle, and the Cang family's cavalry were lined up on both sides. Among the Lu family soldiers, there was a strong cavalry force of more than a thousand people surrounding Lu Lie. These people were obviously much taller than the others, and the mounts underneath them were also strange. It is not the one-horned horse commonly used by shepherds, but it is the first born with two horns, and its body is half taller than other horses.
The terrain of Jinchang was originally flat, and even though it was just the front army, it looked like a huge wave of soldiers and horses, like a roc spreading its wings, flying all the way to the west.
The Lu family mostly wears black clothes, while the Cang family wears red cloaks, with some white cavalry mixed in between the red and black. These people were wearing white armor. Different from the shepherd cavalry who mostly used knives, they each had a spear and looked quite brave and capable.
These white-armored cavalry are the White Bird Army unique to the Gu family. These people usually come in groups of five. One of the five has a white bird-like ornament on his helmet, and the other four are led by him.
As for the troops and horses transferred from the Ba family to the command of the Lu family, due to the urgent march this time and because they were indeed not good at field combat, Lu Lie arranged for them to be in the middle army position.
On the horizon in the distance, there was also billowing smoke and dust. It must be that the Northern Army discovered the movements of the coalition forces and sent troops out of camp to meet the enemy.
Lu Lie sat on the horse, raised his hand, and slowed down the horse first. As the order sounded, the soldiers who were rushing along slowly slowed down and gradually gathered their formation.
After the army marches hastily, it is inevitable that the formation will be scattered and out of touch with each other. When encountering the enemy, you should gather your troops.
Soon, the troops of the Northern Army gradually arrived at a place five hundred steps away from the coalition forces, and stationed their horses to look at the coalition forces on the opposite side. There is a tooth flag erected in this Northern army with a big Chinese character Wu on it. The fabric of the flag is quite new, it seems that it was just made. There is a smaller general's flag next to it, with the character "ancestral" written on it.
Lu Lie's face was gloomy, maybe Wu Gen was here too. When I thought about how hard I had to pull it over, then turned around and ran back to Ji's house without leaving anything behind, I felt extremely angry.
Soon, the movement on the other side confirmed his suspicion. The Northern Army separated from the middle, and a tall blue-red bird came out proudly. The person standing on the bird was Wu Gen.
On the right is a giant mastiff, and Niu Chao is sitting on it eagerly. Zu Yuantong on the left followed expressionlessly on horseback, walking towards the front of the formation together.
As expected, it was this traitor. Lu Lie's eyes were splitting. He urged his horse and ran forward with a few soldiers.
When the two groups were only a few dozen steps apart, both parties stopped at the same time. Wu Gen lifted his helmet up and cupped his hands towards Lu Lie who was opposite him, "You're fine, Young Master Lu."
Some people died, but not completely...
