As soon as Nie Chen said this, all the generals were a little at a loss. They looked at the leader and then at Nie Chen, not knowing who to listen to.
It stands to reason that the boss must be right, but Nie Chen's prestige is too high. The development of Qingfeng Village to its current level is all due to Nie Chen. It can be said that without it, Qingfeng Village would not be what it is today.
The boss just wanted to rescue the county, but he didn't have any troops.
The headmaster was not angry, turned around, patted Nie Chen on the shoulder and said,
"Do you still remember what you said? He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If you don't have the people in your heart, no matter how powerful you are, it will only be a castle in the air.
In the end, he is just a single man.
The eyes of the people are visible. They can see clearly who is really good to them and who wants to take advantage of them. "
The headmaster's serious words made Nie Chenyu choke.
In fact, both of them are right, but they have different ideas. The leader pretends to be righteous, while Nie Chen is more concerned about the safety of his own soldiers.
"Generals, listen to the order, gather the whole army, bring the army-breaking crossbows to break the city crossbows, leave five hundred people to look after the house, and the remaining eight thousand people will all follow me to fight!"
The headmaster gave the order, and the generals immediately followed him out.
Nie Chen quickly followed up and said,
"If you want to go to war, you can open the weapons warehouse and distribute the crossbow swords to the craftsmen. We have more than 3,000 workers in Qingfeng Village! They can also protect themselves if they are armed.
Once Liu Hu wants to attack the mountain, they can hold weapons to resist for a period of time. "
"Okay, you go make arrangements."
The boss agreed without hesitation.
Nie Chen continued,
"I also have to go on an expedition. I have to follow you. With your righteous temper, you might do something ridiculous."
"Okay, then you can follow."
“Also, after capturing Qingshui County this time, we have occupied the county seat, and we can no longer give it to others.
We used to have few soldiers and horses, but now we have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. Qingfeng Village can no longer accommodate them. We have to occupy a city and recruit more soldiers and horses.
With the city to rely on, we don't have to worry about Liu Hu's attack. When King Anton comes to attack us, we will have time to develop and grow. "
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about these things later. Now let's go get the county seat back and drive the barbarians out.
You go and pierce the armor quickly, don't delay my armor piercing. "
The boss pushed Nie Chen out impatiently.
Nie Chen sighed heavily. In fact, in his opinion, the county guard Liu Hu should be more anxious when the county seat was occupied. Liu Hu would definitely not bother to attack Qingfeng Village at that time. When Liu Hu and the barbarians fought, both sides would suffer. Later, Qingfeng Village reaped the benefits.
When the time comes, let alone the county seat, directly occupy the county government, seize the time to recruit troops and develop quickly. By then, whether it is to resist the attack of King Anton, or to drive away the barbarians and recapture the county seat, it will be easy for them.
Although this is a bit cunning, it can avoid casualties and take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow.
It's a pity that the leader is too upright and I can't explain this to him.
Nie Chen returned to his residence, and with the help of Xiao He, he put on his steel armor, took his own steel knife, got on his horse, and rushed towards the school ground.
After arriving at the school grounds, 1,500 cavalry, plus 6,500 spearmen, crossbowmen, and heavy crossbowmen were all assembled, and five city-breaking crossbows were also pulled over.
Da Dangjia, Ma Niubai, Lin Guang, and Wang Hao were all here, and even Weng Qiuchan was here, but Da Zhuang was not there.
Needless to say, the important task of guarding the family this time is huge again.
Doing the most tiring work and receiving the least credit...
"Master, are you ready for the subsequent shipment of grain and fodder?"
Nie Chen rode over and asked.
"Get ready. This time the whole army will bring three days' worth of dry food. Once the battle exceeds three days, the food and grass team will deliver food and grass to us. Qingfeng Village is not far from the county seat and can be reached in half a day."
Nie Chen asked again,
"Okay, are the military medical team ready?"
"Ready."
Li Yuanjun came over followed by a group of men and women.
Nie Chen turned the horse's head and said to Qi Huan beside him,
"Qi Huan, ask your people to quickly go to the county government to investigate whether the county government has been captured and how many enemy troops there are in the county. Find out all of them."
"Don't worry, Second Master. My people have been working on it. I believe there will be accurate information when we get halfway there."
"Okay, I can rest assured that you can do the work."
Nie Chen nodded and suddenly saw many people in the army carrying flags. There was no word "Qingfeng" on these flags, nor the word "Weng" for the coach. Instead, there was a white dragon flag.
The flag has a black background and is embroidered with a terrifying white dragon with teeth and claws.
Nie Chen was no stranger to this flag. He had often seen it on the top of the county town. It was the national flag of the Gale Country.
Now, the army of Qingfeng Village is decorated with the national flag, which means that they are the army of Feng Kingdom and can be called the Feng Army.
"Master, you've brought out all the national flags."
Nie Chen smiled.
The boss glared and said,
"Nonsense, when two armies are fighting, we must fly the flag. Otherwise, would the soldiers know where to charge? We are fighting barbarians now. We belong to different countries, so we must fly the national flag.
Not only were they fighting against barbarians, but they were also fighting between kings. Both sides fought with the same Gale flag, but the flag of the boss was different.
No matter which force they belong to, when it comes to foreign wars, this flag is a unified command and the spiritual support of all soldiers.
By then, even if Liu Hu's army arrives, as long as the barbarians have not retreated, they will see our strong wind flag and know what our position is, and they will join us in fighting the barbarians. "
Looking at the headmaster's proud look in front of the national flag, Nie Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile. The headmaster is really a professional soldier.
Nie Chen then asked,
"Then why didn't Wang Hao raise the national flag when he beat us?"
Wang Hao snorted proudly,
"I am suppressing a bandit, why do I need to use a strong wind flag? When Ye Xing attacked us, he also used a leaf flag, not the national flag.
Only when the two armies are fighting, the national flag will be displayed, not when suppressing bandits. "
"Hey, look how proud you are."
"Okay, let's set out, the army."
The army left Qingfeng Village and marched down the mountain in a mighty manner.
This is the first time that all members of Qingfeng Village have been mobilized to fight a tough battle, and many soldiers are very nervous.
As Nie Chen walked, he said to the head master,
"Master, the tribe closest to us is Quedingding. We have always had business relationships with Quedingding. Why did the Qiyan tribe suddenly appear on Quedingding's territory this time and come to attack our county?
There was no interception at the top of the bird, so he just let the begging department attack?
I always feel like there's something wrong with this. "
