Six or seven hundred people, pulling a few carts of grain and two cannons, were slow enough to do so. In addition, General Lin deliberately delayed the time.
Du Xiuyuan and Hu Bugui put all their efforts into training these hundreds of soldiers into elite soldiers. The two of them had some intentions of being different. After training individual soldiers and forming formations, no one would be left behind. The so-called bottom elimination system, They are strictly enforced. On the first day, 80% of the soldiers did not eat dinner. On the second day, everyone’s enthusiasm for training was obviously high, and on the third day they won even more. The two families were overjoyed and gave a thumbs up to praise General Lin for his skillful leadership of the troops. , is indeed a role model for soldiers.
Lin Wanrong thought about it, I trained soldiers not for killing the enemy, but for the enemy to come up, I can't fight and escape. I handed over this team to Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan with peace of mind, and I felt very happy and at ease.
Stopping and stopping along the way, passing through Fengyang, Suzhou Tanbei and other places, I just arrived in Xuzhou in five days. When they arrived in Xuzhou, they learned that Xu Wei had set off for Feng County last night. In desperation, Lin Wanrong led his troops to continue on a sightseeing tour.
"Since yesterday, Master Xu led the cavalry camps in Zhejiang and Shandong, from Yuncheng, Ningyang, and Surabaya in the north, and from Dingtao, Tengzhou, and Shanting in the south. On the Juye, Jining, and Zoucheng lines, an encirclement situation has already formed. Master Xu has just sent the latest general order, which means that our group will rush to Feng County tomorrow to join him in the commander-in-chief camp."
Hu Bugui pointed on the crude battle map and said in detail. He is from the field. He was very familiar with this topographic diagram, so he explained the current situation to Lin Wanrong, Li Sheng, and Du Xiuyuan.
The three battalions led by Lin Wanrong are currently located in Peixian County, only a few dozen miles away from Fengxian County, where Xu Wei's front-line commander camp is located. He was not interested in the science of maps. Listening to Hu Bugui's explanation, he kept yawning.
Du Xiuyuan said: "We are only fifty or sixty miles away from Marshal Xu's camp. We will march to the camp early tomorrow morning and hand over the grain, grass and cannon to Mr. Xu. Our mission has been completed."
Hu Bugui said: "Look at the current situation, the army just approached yesterday, but those White Lotus Sects didn't even have time to resist. When our food and grass arrive tomorrow, Marshal Xu may have already arrived in Jining. He wiped out Bailian's lair. My son, these few days It's really boring to practice hard every day, but haven't had time to go to the battlefield to practice."
Lin Wanrong patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I can understand your mood. But people die in war. These are our own brothers. I feel sorry for anyone who hurts. It's better to be safe like this. It's best that this battle lasts forever." It can’t hit us on the head. Everyone will go back to celebrate the New Year in peace.”
Although this General Lin is quick in doing things, but these few words are a bit lacking in ambition, Hu Bugui shook his head helplessly. I feel a little down on him.
"Three big brothers, please go ahead and set up camp here today, according to the formation that brother Du Xiuyuan usually drills, and at the same time strengthen the guards, especially outside the generals' camp, you should strengthen patrols. After all, this is already a war zone, so you should always be prepared. .In case something goes wrong, the safety of the general is the top priority. Ah, haha, that's settled." Lin Wanrong said solemnly.
Just say that you are afraid of death, there are so many excuses, Hu Bugui snorted contemptuously, a bit of contempt flashed in his eyes. On the contrary, Du Xiuyuan agreed: "General Lin's words are very true. This place is already occupied by Bailian, and it is also close to Weishan Lake. Those Bailian thieves are familiar with the terrain. If they use the night to sneak attack, they will be hard to guard against."
This Du Xiuyuan figured out what he wanted, and he has a lot to do. Hu Bugui has an upright personality, and he was demoted from a thousand households to a hundred households, and his temper has not restrained much. However, capable people have character, for example, Lin Wanrong smiled, and led the troops to settle down safely.
Peixian County is next to Weishan Lake. It was evening at this time. The sun was setting and the golden afterglow sprinkled on the lake.
Is this Weishan Lake? Sure enough, the scenery of the lake and mountains is very beautiful. Standing by the lake, with the breeze blowing, Lin Wanrong breathed out comfortably, and suddenly remembered the well-known old song, and sang: "Weishan Alas, the golden light is shining, and the white clouds are like clouds floating..."
Just now he sang a few words, there was a burst of laughter from the other side, but it was the soldiers who were practicing who heard his strange tone and laughed out loud at him.
General Lin is loyal, doesn't put on airs, and treats his brothers sincerely. He eats and lives with the army every day, and he has a reputation for loving soldiers like sons. Although the last elimination system is a bit perverted, through the training in the past few days, every soldier can feel the improvement in himself, and this has aroused their enthusiasm for training. What a conflict.
"Laugh, what a joke, I'll listen to whoever has the ability to sing. I reckon you guys are good at going to kilns and singing eighteen." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Hearing the general joking with himself, the soldiers over there shouted even more, and the atmosphere was extremely lively for a while. Lin Wanrong had already adopted Hu Buguidi's suggestion to train soldiers from Zhejiang and Shandong in a one-to-one ratio. Not less.
Lin Wanrong saw that the one who was directing the training was the young soldier who stopped him when he was patrolling the camp that night, so he smiled and said, "Your name is Xu Zhen, isn't it?"
"General, the villain is Xu Zhen." Although Xu Zhen is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child soldier, he is already a commander-in-chief, and he must be capable of leading a group of men who are much older than him in training. .
Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Xu Zhen, you have such ability at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. You take everyone to practice hard, and if you practice well, this general recommends you to Marshal Xu to lead hundreds of households." , Qianhu."
Xu Zhen saw that this young general had a broad mind. Treat people with kindness and heart
Very excited, he said loudly: "Thank you, General, for your cultivation."
Lin Wanrong nodded in satisfaction, thinking. Going to the battlefield to fight is not Lao Tzu's forte, but training a few talents is not easy. The three hundred households under him are all talented people, and this Xu Zhen is also a Qianlong, so he must recommend it to Xu Wei.
Gao Chief followed Lin Wanrong, and seeing his complacent expression, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Brother Gao, the scenery of Weishan Lake is very beautiful, why don't we take a boat to see it." Gao Chief was very interested in seeing him. He didn't stop him, so he found a boat nearby. Seeing that the two of them were about to go down to the lake, Hu Bugui hurriedly said: "General Lin, it's getting late now, the Weishan Lake is probably not too green, if there are bandits lurking, it will be troublesome."
Lin Wanrong said with a righteous face: "Brother Hu, you misunderstood. I went to the lake this time to investigate the bandits. I suspect..." He rolled his eyes and said mysteriously: "This lake There are thieves hiding?"
Hu Bugui listened to his nonsense, and said with some disdain: "General Lin, you don't know. Now that winter is coming, if these bandits hide in Weishan Lake, they will definitely die."
"Oh, what's the reason?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.
"General, please take a look..." Hu Bugui pointed at the densely packed reeds in the lake in the distance with his big hand, and said loudly: "The last general was born by the Weishan Lake, and he is very familiar with the terrain. Weishan Lake stretches for tens of miles, and the reeds It is true that the lushness is good for hiding. But it is winter at this time, and the reeds are all withered. If they really hid in Weishan Lake, as long as I ignite the reeds, they will have nowhere to hide. Even if the fire can't wipe them all out, as long as our army clears the fields, within a month, the bandits hiding in the lake will be starving, cold and without clothes. Therefore, the general believes that they will never be so stupid as to seek their own death." Hu Bugui's words seemed to make sense.
I want to go boating every day, and this old Hu has so many reasons, Lin Wanrong said seriously: "Brother Hu's words are reasonable. But you are using common sense, this white lotus thief is cunning and treacherous, maybe he is about to take advantage of Brother Hu If you think like this, if you go in and out of this lake quickly, we will be caught off guard, so maybe that's the case."
Hu Bugui hesitated for a moment, General Lin's words seemed to make sense, he nodded and said: "Then the general will go with the general."
Seeing his resolute demeanor, Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile, and the three of them boarded the boat and set off for a distance. Although Hu Bugui was reckless by nature, he was good at water, so he rowed the boat very steadily. Although Gao Chief has high martial arts skills, he is a landlubber, so he can only stand closely beside Lin Wanrong.
In the distance of the lake, the water and the sky are the same color, and the setting sun has already set, reflecting the lake water into a pool of blood red. A little breeze blows by, and the reeds flutter gently with the wind, making a soft rustling sound, just like a baby's whimper. A few late-returning waterfowl fluttered their wings, landed in the dense reed bushes, and disappeared in an instant. There was no one else on the lake except the small boat they were in, the small paddle patted the water, and the sound of slapping seemed to come from infinite distance. In the sunset, Weishan Lake is as quiet and stable as a shy virgin.
Lin Wanrong stretched lazily. He was already exhausted from marching for many days. Today, he felt more relaxed when he went boating on the lake. Seeing Gao Chief looking around, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Gao, what do you want to do most in this situation?"
"Drink, fuck!" Gao Chief replied without thinking. Hu Bugui, who was rowing, laughed loudly: "Gao Zhuang is really a willful person."
My god, you two savages, can't you think of some noble things in such a beautiful scenery? Just take a mandarin duck bath, what kind of prostitute are you? Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, I am really more civilized than these two boys.
As the sky was getting dark, the three of them rowed the boat far away, approaching a reed marsh, Hu Bugui seriously searched around, the surrounding was so empty and quiet, there was not even a shadow of a bird. He listened carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "General Lin, there is no one in this reed marsh."
Damn, of course I know there is no one else, I just came out to look at the scenery, not the people. He shook his head and was about to speak. Suddenly there was a soft sound in the ear. The sound seemed to be very far away, but Lin Wanrong's skills were good, especially his hearing, even though it was far away. But he could hear clearly and clearly.
"Brother Gao, did you hear anything?" Lin Wanrong asked Gao Chief.
Gao Chief nodded and said: "It seems to be the sound of paddling, and there is some distance between us."
The three of them looked around, but they couldn't see any traces of boats, but the sound of the oars became clearer and louder, not like one oar, but like thousands of small oars slapping the water.
In the distance, a few waterfowls that had already rested flew up from among the reeds, their wings fluttering with a soft rattle. "Look!" Hu Bugui shouted.
Lin Wanrong looked in the direction of his finger. Suddenly, countless small boats sprang out from the reeds hundreds of feet away in the distance, and there were dozens of people standing on each small boat. Holding a steel knife, murderous. Lin Wanrong took a cursory look and found that there might be as many as a hundred of these small boats, but there are actually less than a thousand people.
"Brother Hu, let's clear up this time. Did Mr. Xu lead a navy?" Lin Wanrong asked in a trembling voice.
"There are, but they are all big ships, not just this size. These people seem to be..." He opened his eyes. He suddenly realized: "White Lotus Sect, this is White Lotus Sect!"
Damn, you old boy, the empress dowager, woke up, Lin Wanrong swallowed hard.
"Brother Lin, what should we do?" Gao Chief asked hurriedly.
"Run away!" General Lin replied neatly: "Brother Hu, what are you still doing, hurry up and row the boat."
Hu Bugui also came to his senses, turned around and rowed back with both paddles in his hands, but laughed loudly and said: "General Lin has a clever plan. This White Lotus Sect really set up an ambush in the lake, and the general admires it very much." He unexpectedly
The more she laughed, the happier she became. Looking back, she spit into the lake excitedly: "***, I was worried that I couldn't find these bastards. I didn't expect them to be delivered to my door. My son-in-law finally sent them. Use it, today, I will wipe them out."
Damn it, Lin Wanrong finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked his ass: "If you delay any longer, let alone wipe them out, we will be killed by them."
Complacent, Hu Bugui admired Lin Wanrong's "foresight" and laughed nonchalantly. He stepped up his hands, and the boat rushed towards the shore like an arrow.
Lin Wanrong looked back and saw that hundreds of small boats were also gaining strength and were rushing towards them very fast.
Damn, he slapped his head annoyed, I was just talking casually when I went to the lake to play, how did I know that I really recruited Bai Lian, and a thousand people came at once, wouldn't this kill me
The three of them rowed the boat ashore, and Lin Wanrong rushed to the front, shouting, "Du Xiuyuan, prepare for battle. Li Sheng, drop the muzzle, aim at the lake, and prepare to shoot..."
"Come on..." The white lotus army's small boat behind them suddenly burst into a terrifying roar, and hundreds of small boats charged forward together. Lin Wanrong and the three had just landed. When they looked back, they saw a mass of black heads in the distance. , rushed straight to the shore.
Du Xiuyuan came running out of breath, and hundreds of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion hurriedly lined up, aiming at the lake with bows and arrows in hand.
"General Lin, where did this enemy come from? There are so many people!" Du Xiuyuan asked anxiously.
Lin Wanrong's face was livid. Damn it, it jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. If I hadn't come to make a fuss today, I'm afraid that someone really poked my butt and wouldn't know it.
"General Lin's ingenious calculations, the enemy's attack was already planned by him." Hu Bugui really admired General Lin, he seemed to be careless, but in fact he made every step of the way. He waved his hand and said, "Boys, prepare your swords and guns..."
At the critical moment, the hard training these days took effect, and the soldiers stood up sparsely according to the formation practiced in Qingri, staring nervously at the lake.
Damn, they are all recruits. Lin Wanrong looked at the six or seven hundred troops under him. Most of them were young soldiers who were newly recruited into the army. There was still a little childishness on their faces. Hold back the slightest fear of ejaculation.
"Brother Du, did you send someone for help?" Lin Wanrong said loudly.
"General, as soon as we found the enemy attacking, our subordinates have dispatched horses to call for help from Marshal Xu who is sixty miles away." Du Xiuyuan hurriedly replied.
Lin Wanrong nodded, this Du Xiuyuan is safe and reliable, which is very reassuring.
Hu Bugui glanced at the rushing Bailian Army, and said with a serious face: "General Lin, this White Lotus Army has a well-organized lineup, it is definitely not a mob, it seems to be their elite."
"Elite?" Lin Wanrong almost fainted, I just commanded a few hundred remnants. I brought some hay, what are you elites looking for me, if you have the guts, go find Lao Xu, your mother, what kind of heroes are you to bully us new recruits.
"Brother Gao, what is the crime of running away?" Lin Wanrong asked quietly.
"Decision!" Gao Chief whispered.
Who sets the rules in my day so inhumane, is there any justice? Who cares, if I can't win, I will definitely lead my brothers to flee for their lives.
"General Lin. We are just remnants of horses, food and grass, and the number is small. How could the elite of the White Lotus Army find us. And it seems to have been lurking for a long time..." Du Xiuyuan frowned and asked, he was not in a hurry when things happened However, he is a military advisor who makes good use of the strategy.
Lin Wanrong was staring at Li Sheng adjusting the angle of the cannon, and thought without thinking: "How do I know?" He said half of the sentence. He suddenly remembered something, and his face changed: "Shenji Cannon, they want to steal Shenji Cannon?"
Du Xiuyuan was taken aback. Mo Ran came to his senses: "This place is by the lake, after they seized the cannon, they happened to take it away with the boat..."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as transporting away..." Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "This place is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xu Shuai's camp. If they do the opposite, they will bombard the handsome camp..."
"Their target is Marshal Xu..." Gao Chief, Du Xiuyuan, and Hu Bugui, who were standing next to Lin Wanrong, jumped up in shock. This is an extremely bold inference, and only General Lin is so talented Only a person can make such a bold conclusion. But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Hu Bugui originally looked down on this young general with a hippie smile, but he listened to his words. Every sentence is said to be on the point that others can't see. This General Lin's ability is definitely not blown out. He cupped his fists respectfully, and said sincerely: "General Lin, I, Hu Bugui, am convinced of you, and General Hu Mouwei obeys the order of General Hu."
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and helped him up, facing all the soldiers, he said loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, this is a trick arranged by Marshal Xu to deliberately lure the Bai Lian army into the trap. Marshal Xu personally led tens of thousands of horses and surrounded the enemy. They will be wiped out in half an hour. We only need to hold on for half an hour!! My Shenji Battalion has prepared several giant cannons and thousands of shells. Let them taste the power of the Shenji Cannon. Li Sheng?? "
Seeing that the Bailian army had entered the firing range of the artillery, Lin Wanrong yelled: "Fire the artillery?"
Li Sheng had already adjusted the angles of the two cannons. Hearing General Lin's shout, he ignited the two fuses at the same time, and the cannonballs shot up into the sky with a little whistling, hitting the two moving boats. Amidst the loud bang, the wooden boat shattered, and the souls of more than twenty Bailian soldiers were scattered.
"Good fight!" Li Sheng was hit by a single shot, which greatly boosted the morale of the crowd. The soldiers of the three battalions cheered together, and the panic towards the enemy had long since dissipated.
Li Sheng fired several more cannons one after another, and the cannons did not fail, destroying dozens of small boats of the White Lotus Army in the blink of an eye. The White Lotus Army had already lost nearly 20% before they landed. The soldiers of the third battalion looked very enthusiastic, and wished they could go into battle immediately and fight the enemy.
"Brothers, it's time to make contributions. As long as you stick to it for half an hour, you will be
Hundreds of households, thousands of households, ten thousand households, you will have countless beauties, what are you waiting for, come with me..." Lin Wanrong shouted loudly.
General Lin's method of agitation is naked but effective. Most of the soldiers are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are just young. How could they bear such instigation, and their blood is already boiling. With a short weapon with two barrels, he rushed to the front heroically and bravely. He was very encouraged at the moment, and rushed towards the enemy like a group of tigers descending the mountain.
"General Lin, you are the leader of an army, so don't rush into the battle easily." Hu Buguimeng ran a few steps, caught up to Lin Wanrong, and held his sleeve tightly.
Damn, you finally caught up, otherwise I would have to bite the bullet and rush forward.
"Let me go, let me go." Lin Wanrong took a few steps back, but his face was full of impassioned expression: "Brothers need me, the country needs me, Dahua needs me..."
"A good man..." Hu Bugui burst into tears, pushed him back a few steps, and said with a wave of his hand, "Follow me, come on..." His burly and majestic body rushed out like a mountain .
