Five miles away from Longshan Mountain, the demon-slaying army was repairing its tent.
Ling Qiao handed Gu Yuan a bottle of wine: "Just think of it to warm yourself up."
Gu Yuan took it casually and took a sip. He didn't seem to need a bottle of wine to warm his body. Even if he ran naked, he wouldn't feel cold.
At this moment, news came in that the demon army was setting up defenses in Longshan.
After the messenger left, Ling Qiao laughed.
"This Tuoya is really what Commander Li expected! He is really going to fight us to the death in Longshan."
"Oh? So Captain Li has already calculated it before?" Gu Yuan asked.
"That's natural." Ling Qiao said this with some admiration in his eyes, "Your Captain Li said that Tuo Ya is capable, but the more capable a person is, the more he trusts his own judgment. If you can just follow other people's arrangements casually, wouldn't you be a soft-eared mediocre person? So, the same goes for demons."
Gu Yuan understood somewhat.
"In other words, Takuya, who is sitting on Nile Peak, has actually received the order to retreat?"
"Of course." Ling Qiao said with a smile, "The demon-slaying army went out, but Li Siming was not in the army. Such a good opportunity was placed in front of Tuo Ya, and the other party would not give up such a God-given opportunity no matter what.
As long as the Monster Clan wins this battle, they will be able to capture the Demon Slaying City in one fell swoop and even penetrate deep into the hinterland of our Daxia. This is a great achievement for Tuo Ya. It is not just as simple as receiving a commendation, it can even be mentioned in the history of the Monster Clan. Leave a strong mark on it. "
Chu Xigu and He Zhijie on the side looked at each other and nodded lightly.
"Thinking about it, even though our demon-slaying army was forced to retreat to the demon-slaying city during this period, Tuoya, the leader of the demon army, still suffered a lot at the hands of Commander Li, and I guess he is feeling aggrieved. "
"Yes... If the demon tribe really retreats and returns to Nile Peak to defend, we will be in trouble..."
Tao Zijiang on the side said nothing, took a sip of tea and nodded repeatedly.
He is a strict person. Even if drinking a little wine will not have any impact on him, he is still unwilling to drink before the war. Of course, he will not object to Ling Qiao and others having a few drinks. For others, , it is a sense of ritual.
Tao Zijiang said: "This time, we want to hold back the demon army and let Yaoshan focus on the battlefield. We say we are pushing the defense line. But if the demon army really retreats to Nile Peak, we still have to catch up. , marching long distances will make our army more passive."
"It's not just that." Ling Qiao sighed, "Compared to Nile Peak, the terrain of Mount Long is much simpler. If the demon tribe really defends Nile Peak, many of us will die this time."
After Ling Qiao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire camp suddenly became a little low.
They had captured Nile Peak before, and it was precisely because of this that they knew how difficult it was to capture Nile Peak.
The demon-slaying army paid a heavy price, and even Qi Changguang died there.
Gu Yuan was also a little sad, but he soon realized that now was not the time to be depressed. He coughed lightly, drank the wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, Ni. Luo Feng! We will get it back sooner or later."
"You're right! Nile Peak, we have to get it back again! The monster race won't be arrogant for long!"
Wu Ning, who had the most murderous intent, said fiercely: "When I take down the Demon Mountain, I will definitely use the corpses of the demon clan to build a Jingguan on the Demon Mountain!"
Wu Ning's soaring murderous aura made Ling Qiao couldn't help but take a second look and shook his head gently.
This young man is good at everything, but he has too much murderous intent. Although it is a good thing for the demon-slaying army to have more murderous intent, too much murderous intent can easily disturb the mind. It seems that after returning, he will have to have a good talk with Commander Li about this matter. matter.
This boy is a good young man. Of course he hopes that more and more outstanding young people will appear in Daxia in the future. When they grow up, they will become the mainstay of Daxia, instead of putting all his hopes on Gu Yuan. .
Even if you care
No matter how powerful Yuan is, he is still a human being, and of course the stronger the helpers around him are, the better.
"Wu Ning."
"Here!" Wu Ning quickly stood up and looked at Ling Qiao with a serious expression.
"You, Tao Zijie and his subordinates form a vanguard, go first and pull out all the demon sentries along the way."
"Yes!" Wu Ning's face flushed with excitement and he quickly accepted the task.
After Wu Ning and Tao Zijiang left, Gu Yuancai asked in a low voice: "Can you let Wu Ning be the vanguard? Are you afraid that this kid will be impulsive and get jealous?"
"It doesn't matter." Ling Qiao said with a smile, "Although this boy is a little impatient, he has a lot of experience. He will not have any problems in major matters. Moreover, what I want is his vigor, and Tao Zijia is a bit too much. Being cautious, the two of them together make up for each other, which is perfect."
Gu Yuan frowned.
Ling Qiao's words sounded reasonable, but that was not the case.
Tao Zijiang is older and has a higher rank, while Wu Ning is younger but has outstanding military achievements. Their personalities are very different, so it is easy for them to have disagreements. In war, the most taboo thing is for two voices to appear at the same time.
After much thought, he finally expressed his concerns. Ling Qiao grinned and said, "It's good that you can think of this. It seems that Commander Li did not misjudge you, but you don't have to do this." I’m worried that this won’t happen to Wu Ning and Tao Zijiang, I understand their characters.”
Gu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
He was not questioning Ling Qiao's decision. After all, he was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Demon-Slaying Army, and he might be better at individual combat, but whether he was strong or not had no direct relationship with his ability to lead troops in combat.
Ling Qiao continued: "Gu Yuan, many of your ideas are very correct, but all of them must be based on understanding. Your biggest problem now is your lack of understanding of these people in the Demon Slayer Army. You need to be familiar with their personalities, combat methods, and abilities to make more accurate judgments.
It was not that Zhao Kuo, who was an armchair warrior, was incompetent or that his brain was not good enough, but that he lacked sufficient understanding of the people under him, which ultimately led to a disastrous defeat. "
"I remember it." Gu Yuan smiled, "Thanks for the advice."
"Just don't think I'm nagging you." Ling Qiao sighed.
He knew what Li Siming's plan was, and he also knew the other party's high hopes for Gu Yuan. But now, the war in northern Xinjiang was urgent, but Li Siming was still hiding Gu Yuan. Could it be that he was really waiting for them to die before letting Gu Yuan go? Yuan Lai takes over this mess?
But at that time, how could Gu Yuan, who had a serious lack of understanding of the demon-slaying army, be able to use troops like a god even if he had great abilities?
For example, He Zhijie and others in Chuxi Valley are all important generals in the demon-slaying army. Gu Yuan only knows them, so how should he mobilize them in the future?
He has always trusted Li Siming.
Only this thing.
