The sudden incident made even the black-robed man who was used to seeing the world raise his brows slightly, while Gongsun Wulou stayed where he was. He was always surrounded by flatterers, just following him His own personality was the same, which made him fundamentally disbelief that there were people in this world who were so content with death. Seeing the bearded secret guard fall to the ground and die like this, with a smile on his face, he was at a loss.
Wushuang's eyes were sparkling with tears. He looked at Gongsun Fifth Floor and said word by word: "General Fifth Floor, are there any other orders to give?"
Gongsun Wulou finally reacted and stammered: "I, I just said an angry word, you don't..."
Wushuang said loudly: "This is in the army. Your words are military orders, no joking words. We will do every order you give, just like brother Hu Yong. Now, the general on the fifth floor believes what we just said Yet?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded quickly and said: "I believe it. I have heard for a long time that the Orchid Guards are well-trained and not afraid of life and death. Today I finally saw it. This bearded man, oh, Brother Beard Yong died heroically. I will definitely double the pension in the future. To his family members, please let go..."
Wushuang's voice was a little choked: "The Imperial Master just said that we are all orphans from various tribes. We were adopted by Princess Lan since we were young. Apart from us, Princess Lan is our only family. We know that this time I have a narrow escape from death in this mission. I don’t expect myself to survive. I just hope that the Imperial Advisor and the Fifth Floor General can abide by your promise. After repelling the Jin army, you can release Princess Lan and reunite her husband and wife. In this way, we will all die without regrets! "
The black robe said calmly: "I will definitely fulfill your wish, but again, it depends on your performance this time. If you perform well and can successfully defeat the Jin army according to my plan, then everything is possible Maybe, even if we kill Liu Yu, I will release Murong Lan as promised. She is my disciple, just like she is your master. How can I be willing to abandon my disciple so easily. Now I really I was just afraid that she would not be able to bear the excitement when she saw her tribe and her lover killing each other like this, and that both mother and child would be in danger, so I let her rest. If His Majesty the Emperor and I really had murderous intentions for her, how could we let her live until now? Woolen cloth?"
A trace of joy flashed across Wushuang's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master. General on the fifth floor, please give us orders now."
The black robe said coldly: "You go to eat something and take a rest first. We will be fighting for our lives for a while, and we can't do it if we don't have the strength. I have something to explain to the general on the fifth floor right now, so you can go down first."
Wushuang and others bowed and retreated, taking away Beard Yong's body. Except for a pool of blood on the ground, the huge city gate became empty again, as if nothing had happened.
Gongsun Wulou sighed: "I really want to know what method Murong Lan used to make these people so devoted to her that they would die even if they wanted to."
The black robe said calmly: "Murong Lan is different from ordinary spies. She does not drive people, but takes care of them. If she encounters danger, she will not let her men die, but will use her life to cover her men's escape. Although these people They are orphans, but Murong Lan has arranged a life for them, allowing them to start a family, marry a wife and have children, and will also find ways to get their family and children out of this shady status of secret guards and become normal households."
Gongsun Wulou shook his head in disbelief: "Is she stupid? The position of secret guard is often passed down from generation to generation, allowing their descendants to become normal households. Then who will serve in the future? There are no spies I know. One who does.”
The black robe sighed: "He Lanmin is indeed the kind of person you said, so at the last critical moment, her subordinates betrayed her. This is also the main reason why I failed in the Northern Wei Dynasty. I used to think that this kind of secret guards could succeed in succession. I promise to be loyal, but after going through this incident, I discovered that people still have their own selfish desires. Sometimes, maybe kindness will make people more willing to die than coercion, especially when there is no other way to control others. "
Gongsun Wulou breathed a long sigh of relief: "The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp in this world. The words of the Imperial Master are really very reasonable. However, fortunately, you found Murong Lan's method to blackmail these people. , now they should be determined to fight on the ground, but I think these people can be used as secret guards and spy on intelligence. If they are to fight head-on, I am afraid they may not be as effective as the soldiers of the Helan tribe. Just relying on them, they can really do it. Play a role in determining the outcome of the war?"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the black robe: "One man fights with all his strength, three armies overcome the difficulties, people are not afraid of death, and devour the world! There is a fundamental difference between rushing upward without fear of death, and rushing upward with a single-minded desire to die. This is what I want. People who regard death as liberation and glory, people who know that they will die but still keep going forward, because only such people can carry out my mission."
Gongsun Wulou laughed: "I can't wait to know these tasks."
The black robe smiled slightly: "My good disciple, come here and I'll tell you what to do when you see the smoke!"
Jin army, large formation, front.
There were only a little over 20,000 Yan army infantry left. Amidst the intense sound of gongs, they retreated like a tide. The sergeants who received the withdrawal order ran back one by one as if they were being amnesty. Even without wanting to move the thousands of corpses abandoned in front of the formation, the Jin army's formation burst into cheers and ridicule. The soldiers in front waved their weapons and struck rhythmically. Wearing the armor on his body and the shield in his hand, he celebrated victory.
On the chariot two hundred steps away from the formation, Liu Jingxuan looked at the battle ahead with a smile on his face and let out a sigh of relief: "It's really good, but the combat effectiveness of these Yan troops is too weak. Old Wolf, what do you think?" , should we open the formation gate and pursue him for a while?"
Liu Fan smiled and said: "Ah Shou, if the slaves had allowed us to break up and fight, we could have wiped out the 30,000 Yan army just now. But we were not allowed to take fifty steps out of the formation from the beginning, and it is the same now. Our head-on confrontation , It’s just to buy time for the battle on the left wing just now. Now, the battle there is over, and the battle here has also decided the winner.”
Liu Cui on one side glanced at the car formation on the left wing and shook his head: "I think the battle is not over yet. The Yan army seems to have added reinforcements and continues to attack. The two sides are fighting lively."
Just as Liu Jingxuan was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, because he saw a lot of things covered with curtains two miles away, slowly heading towards him: "What is that?!"
