Chapter 240
Xu Xiaobai touched his chin and thought, "In front of so many people, if I show my abilities too much, it would be strange if those people don't doubt it. So, this time, obviously I can't show excessive strength in front of millions of people. However, both of us are very good at setting up formations, and there are troops that can be mobilized on the border. If we can set up formations to meet the enemy, we can make the Mongols come and go."
Xu Ping said: "But after all, there are border troops management methods. If we command the army, they may not be convinced."
Indeed, since ancient times, the army has been a place where loyal people gather. Those people gather together are indeed not something outsiders can intervene at will. Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping can only wait for a while.
Half a day later, the Mongolians came to report and were full of fighting spirit. Because the mask disappeared, the Mongolians were as if they had taken stimulants, and they all became excited. News of defeat came from the front, and soon, another bad news came, and General Luochuan was killed by the Mongolians.
The army was shocked, and Niu Erhe and others were shouting to avenge the general. The prince Zhu Biao had to come to appease the people in the army in person, and said that reinforcements nearby would arrive soon. Facing the aggressive Mongolians outside, Zhu Biao was also anxious and didn't know what to do. The people around him advised him to leave early, but Zhu Biao could not escape in the battle, so as not to cause dissatisfaction to Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, he also knew that he could get the position of prince, but his younger brothers were also very outstanding, and the position of prince was not easy to do.
However, the army must not be without a leader. If Zhu Biao leads himself, it would be too hasty. Everyone also thought it was inappropriate. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Xiaobai volunteered: "Your Highness, if you can trust me, I am willing to temporarily take over the position of general in the army."
Zhu Biao hesitated: "Fighting is different from other things after all, I'm very worried that Xiaobai, you are not suitable for the military affairs."
At this time, Leng Yan said, "Your Highness, now the matter is urgent, so we must make a decision as soon as possible. Although Leng Yan is also in the army, he has participated in some wars with several generals. If Lord Xu decides to temporarily take over the position of general in the army, I am willing to assist Lord Xu."
Xu Ping laughed and said to Xu Xiaobai in a low voice: "This girl is really good to you. Now I'm starting to talk to you. Are you moved? I'm determined to accept her!"
Xu Xiaobai teased: "Oh, you actually said something you asked me to collect. You are so terrifying today."
Che. Xu Ping continued to glar at Xu Xiaobai. They knew that it was time for Zhu Biao to make a decision. The reinforcements had not arrived yet, and now there was a general on the border defense. Zhu Biao asked himself that he was indeed not suitable to take the initiative, because once he fell into the hands of the Mongols, it would cause greater trouble. After considering it, Zhu Biao finally decided to let Xu Xiaobai take the position in the army temporarily.
Xu Xiaobai temporarily took over General Luo Chuan's position, and his first order was: "Lu Dali, I will now order you eight of you to protect the prince. If any problems arise, I will first protect the prince from retreating. If the prince has any shortcomings, I will ask you."
After Lu Dali and Tong Erniu received the order, Xu Xiaobai said again: "Wang Daxing, Wang Erxing, and Wang Xiaoxing. The Mongols came in full force this time, and our border guards were obviously at a disadvantage in the face of the Mongolian cavalry, so it is obviously impossible if they cannot contact some external forces. We will teach Wang Erxing to use a toxin Guworm, and then the three of you work together to create the Guworm I need as quickly as possible according to my method."
The three brothers of the Wang family also received the order and left.
Xu Xiaobai was left with Xu Ping and Leng Yan. Now, they were going to the military camp to see it. Because they wanted to lead an army, they naturally had to be sincerely supported by the soldiers. Therefore, it is naturally very important to visit the soldiers first.
After going to the barracks, what Xu Xiaobai saw was a miserable look. Because the Mongolians were full of fighting spirit and the sudden attack, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were greatly impacted. In addition to General Luochuan being ambushed and killed, some soldiers were trapped and not out of line.
Xu Xiaobai temporarily manages these soldiers, the first thing he has to do is to make these soldiers obey him. Niu Erhe and others were anxious to go to the tent to obey him. Xu Xiaobai said: "What's the situation of the soldiers now?"
Although those soldiers respect Xu Xiaobai, they were somewhat dissatisfied with a leader who suddenly landed, so they were all procrastinating when answering questions.
Finally, one person said: "The mood is not high, and the Mongolians are too cruel this time. I am afraid that there will be no reinforcements, so we really can't stand it."
Xu Xiaobai looked at the current expressions of the soldiers and knew that he would not do anything, so he obviously could not convince the public. So he said, "Well, I think everyone is tired. You will go back to the camp first and comfort the soldiers, Niu Erhe, you can stay."
After everyone dispersed, Xu Xiaobai said to Niu Erhe: "Go and select ten capable warriors for me."
Niu Erhe said in confusion: "I don't know what the lord is going to do."
Xu Xiaobai said: "There are still many soldiers trapped in the Mongolian formation. If they do not rescue them, I believe many soldiers will have opinions."
Niu Erhedao: "The ten people are going to attack the Mongolian formation. Lord Xu, isn't this too risky?"
"Adventure." Xu Xiaobai smiled and shook his head, "We are going to save people now, not fight. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be noticed by the Mongols. He said that the brothers trapped in the formation are also human beings. We can meet with them, and we can work together inside and outside. You don't need to say more, gather people immediately and we will set off later."
Niu Erhe must have no objection to going to save people. After all, he was a comrade, and he couldn't bear to see the soldiers under the Mongol sabre. So even though he knew the danger, he would go out to summon people immediately.
Xu Ping asked, "You really want to play?"
Xu Xiaobai said: "Everyone said that the Mongols attacked this time is somewhat of a reason for me, so I have to start and end well. I have to take care of this matter. You and Leng Yan are also ready, let's go together."
I thought I was going to leave myself again, but when I heard my name, Leng Yan finally felt secretly happy. This time she followed Xu Xiaobai to act well.
Niu Erhe gathered ten warriors, and together with themselves, a total of fourteen people went straight to the Mongolian formation. After Xu Xiaobai and others rushed into the formation, the prince Zhu Biao received the news. Now, he was shocked and hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Xu Xiaobai is the emperor's imperial envoy. How can you let Lord Xu take risks! If something happens to him, how can we explain to the emperor!"
Everyone was speechless, but at this time, they were somewhat convinced by Xu Xiaobaixin in their hearts. Unexpectedly, this adult really went to rescue the besieged soldiers regardless of his safety.
One of the generals said: "Your Highness, Lord Xu is not all our border guards who can take risks. What else can we say? We will gather the troops again immediately and enter the formation to respond to Lord Xu."
"Okay, we will all go." The soldiers' fighting spirit became high because of Xu Xiaobai's actions.
The prince Zhu Biao was also very excited, and he was ready to wave his hand to let everyone prepare. Beside Zhu Biao, Lu Dali and eight people had been following Xu Xiaobai for so long. They hurriedly reminded Zhu Biao behind him: "Your Highness, we have been following Lord Xu for a while, and we have some understanding of Lord Xu. Lord Xu is very skilled in martial arts and extraordinary wisdom. He has always been unexpected to do things, but he is very planning. This time he dared to rashly lead a few people into the formation to save people, and he must be sure that if we send people to respond, we might even break Lord Xu's plan."
Zhu Biao thought it was right, and he asked, "What should we do?"
Lu Dali also shook his head: "I'm just telling me what I think, what should I do? Or ask the prince to decide."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Biao finally decided: "We should believe in Xu Xiaobai, so we should not act rashly without his prompts, but it is necessary to make preparations in advance. You should go back and rectify the troops immediately. As long as Xu Xiaobai has any prompts, you should act immediately."
Everyone took the order and left, Zhu Biao was still very worried: "I really didn't expect that Lord Xu would do his best for the country. After I go back, I must report it to my father truthfully."
Lu Dali and others next to him also said: "Mr. Xu is a great talent. It is indeed a blessing in the court."
"Well, that's true. I just hope Lord Xu can come back as soon as possible."
Come back as soon as possible? Xu Xiaobai is not really anxious yet. Indeed, the Mongolian brigade of men was once again, and the others around Xu Xiaobai were indeed a little nervous, but for Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping, if something happens, it’s impossible to just go away.
A group of 14 people took advantage of the chaos in the Mongolian formation and rushed into the formation directly. Xu Xiaobai asked Niu Erhe to quickly find the location of the trapped soldiers, while he personally broke the rear and bought time for everyone.
These soldiers were all men. When they saw the commander breaking the back for him, they all felt a lot of emotion and their enthusiasm for killing the enemy became more fulfilled. After determining the location of the trapped people, Xu Xiaobai led the way into the formation to save people. Finally, the fourteen people rushed into the formation and received the trapped people on the premise of losing half of the people.
The first thing Niu Erhe said when he saw the soldiers was: "Brothers, Lord Xu is here to save you in person."
These people didn't know that General Luochuan had died, but after Xu Xiaobai took the position of leadership and came to rescue everyone in person, everyone was moved and said, "Mr. Xu came to save us personally regardless of his own safety. What are we afraid of? Brothers, let's go and rush out with Lord Xu."
