Chapter 203 The troops are approaching the city
"Interesting, getting more and more interesting!"
At the notice board outside Licheng College, a humble-looking waiter looked at the ‘Seven Kill Orders’ posted on it, gently touched the mole in the corner of his eye with his left hand, and raised his lips slightly:
"City Master Lu, City Master Lu, you want to hunt me down all over the world, but you never imagined that I would be living under your nose, hahahaha..."
Phew~
The wind blew quietly, carrying his laughter far away, and the green grass on the ground rustled, forming curved waves, which rolled away one after another.
Fifty thousand people stood silently among the waves of grass, letting the waves push forward one after another, and piled up under the hooves of the fifty thousand horses, making a rustling sound!
A chilling atmosphere filled the air, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Everyone's expressions slowly became serious, except for Jirigele, who stood at the front on horseback with an arrogant expression.
"Brother, is this a good soldier?"
A soft voice suddenly sounded, and it stopped in Jirigele's ears, but it was like a steel hammer, hitting his heart hard, causing him to choke in pain.
His face suddenly darkened, and he turned around to look at the handsome man. His eyes suddenly became dark and incomprehensible: "Fifth brother, it's better not to hang out if you have nothing to do."
Hai Dongqing smiled lightly, with a slight coolness in his soft voice, and the BMW Taxue underneath him also snorted regularly: "Brother, you are joking, how can this expedition be nothing?"
Going on an expedition?
Jirigele's gloomy expression instantly became even more ugly. He suddenly turned his head to look at the several strong men beside him, with a questioning look in his eyes.
When he saw them nodding to confirm, his face turned livid with anger, and he calmed down and said: "Humph, in that case, you have to take care of your own life, and don't let the elder brother take the time to take care of you."
As he spoke, his eyes scanned the sky and the earth several times. It was really strange, where was the eagle of Lao Wu?
Woo——
At this time, the melodious sound of horns was heard in the distance, and the loud horns came from all directions, deafening, resounding through the sky, as if to attract everything.
This was the sound of the horn that was ready to set off. On the grassland, all the men and women were shocked. The fifty thousand warriors made a roar and instantly got on their horses, carrying swords at their waists, and were ready to set off.
Gradually, waves of heart-shaking drum sounds came from nowhere, and they became more and more intense from near to far, like rolling thunder, continuous, and like a giant dragon roaring and galloping, one after another, making people's blood boil.
Wow——
The flag was fluttering, accompanied by the sound of the wind, and with a clang, Jirigele pulled out the Meng knife from his waist and shouted: "Go out, slaughter all of Licheng, kill -"
"Slaughter all of Licheng, kill! Kill! Kill -"
The voices of fifty thousand people gathered together, like thunder rolling in the sky, deafening.
Hai Dongqing turned a blind eye to the shouts of the crowd, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his narrow eagle eyes.
"Report——"
In Licheng, in the military camp, a spy quickly rushed into the main tent and reported: "Your Majesty, the Mongolian army has arrived in the Tianhe area and is expected to reach the plain outside Licheng in three hours."
"Three hours?!!!" Lu Wei and others' pupils shrank, and they turned to look at the military advisor this time - Lu Ziqi.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Ziqi also felt a headache. Although he felt very grateful that Lu Anran had left the war to him, facing such a big battle all at once was really...
"Fifth brother, we only have 4,000 people. Including the dwarf uncles, there are only 4,200 people. How can we fight?" Lu Xing frowned and asked, while constantly thinking about possible methods in his mind.
Bian Chongquan sat aside and said nothing. Although he had a plan in his mind, he was not ready to tell them. After all, this was a test given to them by Lu Anran and it was inconvenient for him to intervene.
Besides, as the lord of a city, Lu Anran could sit leisurely in his own pavilion and drink tea as if it didn't matter to him, so what did he have to worry about?
"The plain outside Licheng is open and flat, with the Kan River to the west and the primeval forest where barbarians roam to the east.
It will be difficult for us to use the terrain to attack. We may be attacked by barbarians if we are ambushed in the forest. This period is also the flood season, so it is impossible to use the Kanjiang River, eh..." Lu Qingshan said, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Lu Li pursed his lips and tapped the barbarian forest on the map with his index finger: "As far as I know, barbarians don't go to the outer areas. Maybe we can use this to ambush them.
As for Kanjiang River, don't even think about it. The terrain there is endless and you can see even a rabbit passing by, let alone a human being.
Moreover, An Ran said that the general coming this time was Jirigele, and there were two captains of ten thousand men, Boltai and Muhuali.
These two men are extremely powerful and are said to be two of the top ten generals of the Mongolian people.
Thirty years ago, ten major tribes joined together to attack Dayun Dynasty. These two men defeated Shihui with one force and almost reached the capital.
In the end, Emperor Chengyuan surrendered and lost Fuyuan, and Liaoxing and other places had to make peace with each other for ten years before saving Kyoto. When I think about it, it’s really..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked a little ugly. Although they were not born at that time, they all felt very humiliated and uncomfortable!
"Are these places in Fuyuan still in the hands of the Mongols?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Lu Li nodded: "Not only these, but everything west of the Hetao is in their hands. I don't know if they can get it back in my lifetime."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Lu Ziqi gently rubbed his forehead, his voice still as cold as usual, "Fuyuan, Hetao and other places are too far away from us, let's save Licheng first.
The plain here," a slender finger pointed at a spot on the map, "is only ten miles away from the Licheng moat, so we need to dig a trench a hundred steps ahead.
The depth should be one person deep and the width should be more than one and a half people's length. It should be ensured that horses cannot cross the length.
At the same time, cut down the trees in the east to make horses and long wooden boards. Fourth cousin, I will leave it to you two."
Lu Xing and Lu Qingshan cupped their hands and responded: "Yes!"
"Uncle Chongquan, cousin, you two will take a thousand men and horses and the barbarian Niu Qi and head here respectively, to the outskirts of the virgin forest - Lingyun Canyon. Get ready to cut down trees and roll rocks."
"Got the order!"
"Lu Xun."
"Finally it's my turn, second brother, tell me what my mission is?" Lu Xunxing stood up in a hurry.
Looking at his immature appearance, Lu Ziqi opened his mouth, feeling a little unbearable, but when he thought of the consequences of Licheng being breached, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your mission is very important.
I need you to go around their rear and attack, burning all their food and grass. This is a very dangerous task, but I hope you can come back to see me alive."
"Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely complete the task perfectly." Lu Xun smiled and rubbed his hands, with a resolute look on his face. It seemed that he had been waiting for the war for too long.
"Okay, you go and prepare first. The rest of you are ready to fight head-on."
