Chapter 216 Success depends on "Heaven"
Zhao Yunming looked at the soldiers with red eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Those who are about to fight, all line up in front!"
A group of strong men surrounding the school grounds immediately drew out their straight swords and shouted loudly: "Those who are about to fight, all line up in front!"
…
This is a strict prohibition for the strong men of Yinren Village. In fact, many people wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats do not understand the true meaning of this sentence. But they all know that whenever these words are shouted on the battlefield, it is time for them to fight.
The newly-reigned soldiers standing in the field looked at the people roaring in unison around them with shocked expressions. They knew that they would shout these words in the future, and this coir raincoat and bamboo hat would become their new identity mark.
Soon, the handsome young man led a group of well-dressed strong men from Tiexin Village to leave the Liangchengang Camp. Looking at the number 100 people who were gradually moving away, Teng Snake's face became a little ugly.
"Sir, Ji Rentu's cavalry captured the northern camp of Yinren last night. They are likely to attack today!" The tall young man finally couldn't help complaining.
Zhao Yunming is similar in stature to his brother Zhao Yuntian. From the appearance, they both look like tall, thin, middle-aged men. Hearing Teng She's words, he nodded and said: "If Ji Rentu really occupied the northern camp last night, then it is not very possible, but he will definitely come as soon as possible to attack Liangchengang!"
Hearing this, Teng Snake became even more helpless and said, "In that case, why should we let this group of fresh troops withdraw? Now is the time for us to employ people!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man smiled: "Of course we need people to fight, but I'm not willing to use these people!"
The tall Teng She naturally didn't understand what the other party meant.
Qingzhu opened his mouth and explained: "Master Zhao, you want to use these 100 strong men to conquer the hearts of the people of Tiexin Village!"
Conquer the hearts of the people? If Teng She realized something, she raised her hands and asked, "Can this method only work?"
Qingzhu looked at the east side of Liangchengang, which was the direction where Zhao Feng led the team to disappear, and said softly: "Some things are planned by people and accomplished by God!"
Teng She looked at Zhao Yunming who was still silent, but he was still a little worried. Although he said it nicely, this was related to the safety of Liangchengang, and even the safety of the entire Yinren Village. It still felt a bit childish to him to hand over such a big responsibility to God.
As if he could see the doubts and worries of the tall young man, Zhao Yunming smiled and explained: "It's not like leaving this matter to God!"
"Oh?" Teng Snake's heart moved slightly, wondering if there was any foreshadowing hidden there?
Qingzhu naturally understood what Shopkeeper Zhao meant and said with a smile:
"The planning lies with you and me, and the success lies with Zhao Yuntian!"
…
When Li Xintian saw the fair boy coming back from outside the tent, he originally wanted to ask him where he had been last night, but seeing Yi Xifeng's tired face, he didn't ask more and handed him a piece of steamed rice cake.
Yi Xifeng wolfed down the rice cakes. He knew that no one in the military camp knew how to make these things. Most of the food given to the soldiers was pots of rice. How could anyone make these rice cakes into neat and compact rice cakes?
Apparently these rice cakes were left by the fair-skinned girl from the pot for herself when she noticed that he didn't come to eat in the morning.
The rice cake in his mouth was sweet and delicious, and it was obvious that Li Xintian added sugar to it.
Rice with sugar is indeed one of the girls’ favorite foods since childhood.
"Eat slowly!" Li Xintian was sitting next to the boy without wearing a mask, looking at him quietly.
Yi Xifeng picked up the wine gourd he carried with him and took a sip of strong wine. The spicy wine stimulated the taste buds, mixed with the sweetness of sugar and rice grains, and the boy suddenly felt that it was indeed easy to be satisfied sometimes.
The wine in the wine gourd was not the plain wine he drank in the past, but the strong wine poured from the military camp last night. The Su Xin wine in the gourd had already been drunk when dealing with Helian Tiexin. And Yi Xifeng never had time to return to his Qingxin Winery, so he had to ask Zhao Xiaoguang, who was selling wine for him, to notify Zhao Xiaoguang last night and ask him to deliver Suxin wine today.
After all, this Suxin wine is no longer just a medicinal wine that strengthens the soul for him. It has become a necessity in battle. Ever since the fair boy understood "Jianjin Wine", the status of Suxin Wine has suddenly risen several levels.
"I went out with Senior Qingzhu last night to practice swordplay in the forest!" Yi Xifeng explained vaguely while still chewing rice cakes.
"Oh? How was it? Did you gain anything?" Li Xintian's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
Yi Xifeng took another sip of wine, smacked his lips and said, "It's not bad. I've learned a sword, and its power is acceptable."
"You should learn from Captain Qingzhu. I heard Brother Chengtao say before that Captain Qingzhu's swordsmanship is superb, and his kendo attainments are even more extraordinary!" the fair-skinned girl said as she recalled.
The young man nodded. After all, he had practiced swordsmanship with Li Chengtao for several years, so he could naturally tell the quality of his swordsmanship.
………………Dividing line………………
Ji Rentu looked at the groups of black-armored soldiers lining up in front of him, as well as the horses that were constantly gathering in the distance.
Looking at the sun, there is still an hour until noon, but based on the current progress, it is estimated that the thousand horses will be in place in another half an hour.
"General, Zhu Qijiang came to report last night and will go straight to the vicinity of Queshan in Tiexin Village. However, there has been no news since last night." A man in armor bowed and reported.
Ji Rentu reached out and touched his bald head, and asked thoughtfully: "What's going on over there at Liu Dong?"
"Liu Qijiang attacked Tiexin Village at night and encountered fierce resistance!" the soldier then replied.
The bald man nodded and told them to report back immediately if they had any information. However, he still felt uneasy. There were nearly 500 cavalrymen in the two armies, and they couldn't suddenly disappear. Thinking of this, Ji Rentu immediately ordered: "Let Hu Qing come over to see me!"
Soon a fat man walked into the tent. This man has a white face and no beard, and is wearing a green armor. He is swaying in the wind as he walks, but he is not clumsy. If you just look at his body shape, he looks like a ball of flesh, but if you look closely at his facial features, they are not ugly, and even somewhat attractive!
This person is none other than the Bijia Cavalry Commander, Hu Qingzheng, one of the four cavalry commanders under Ji Rentu's command.
"I will see you, sir!" The big man bowed. However, due to his body shape, it looked like he was not bowing, but more like slightly arching his hands.
"You don't have to be polite, Qing Zheng. Your contribution to Yinren Village this time is not small!"
"Qing Zheng doesn't dare to take credit, he still relies on the prestige of the county magistrate and the general's plan!" The big man with a body like a meatball replied slowly.
This person is none other than "Brother Hu" who previously contacted Xingwutang and bought the news through Dong Hanqian! However, the man was extremely rigorous in his work, and he never showed up in person despite being contacted several times. However, he successfully avoided the pursuit of Yinren Village. This ability to counter reconnaissance is extremely rare.
