Most of the young generals present knew some formations, and they all gave Qiao Shenyu a weird look. Just like Chang Huaixi said, the Tianmen Formation has been lost for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for it to be a mere hundred. The formations that can be displayed by individuals, obviously, the formation in front of them is probably the "Tianmen Formation" that An Yihou tried to restore, maybe this time it is just a glimpse of a corner of it.
Qiao Shenyu originally thought that his words would win a lot of approving looks, but he didn't expect the result to be completely different from what he expected. He couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, and there was a trace of hostility in the eyes of Chang Huaixi and Yu Xiufan. Obviously the three of them came to Yanding City together, and obviously he is Xiao Yi's direct cousin, but Xiao Yi treats these two people differently and gives them chances again and again, so that they can be promoted step by step!
Xiao Yi saw the eyes and expressions of these people, and said with a smile: "If there are no problems, then the assessment will begin!"
"Yes, Shizi!" The young generals clasped their fists together in response.
Then, Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at Fu Yunhe again, Fu Yunhe nodded with a smile: "Everything is ready."
Xiao Yi showed his face, and said again eagerly: "Come on, let's go fishing!"
Hearing this, Hua Chuyu, who was standing beside Fu Yunhe, showed a look of surprise, apparently he didn't know it beforehand.
Nangong Yue was also unaware. She froze for a moment, dumbfounded. Didn't he bring her to the assessment
As if seeing her doubts, Xiao Yi winked and gave her a look, as if to say, what's so interesting about this, fishing is so fun!
Nangong Yue has already boarded the pirate ship, what else can she do, she also followed them...
Xiao Yi and his group were chatting and laughing happily. Under the guidance of Fu Yunhe, they went to the southwest. They passed through a small forest, and heard the sound of rushing water. .
There was already a soldier on standby by the river, and they spread a large tarpaulin on the river bank for them, prepared a few fishing rods, and put a red lacquered wooden food box beside them.
The soldier hurried forward to salute them, and then hurriedly left with burning buttocks under Fu Yunhe's signal, as if there was something urgent, everyone sat down on the bank, each of the men held a fishing rod, Hua Chuyu After a brief astonishment, he also happily fished.
After about a cup of tea, before everyone had caught a fish, the soldier came back in a hurry just now, and said out of breath: "My son, Deputy Chief Qi has been eliminated. He fell off a stake and injured his foot, and has been carried to the wounded barracks."
After the soldier reported, he left the same way again.
Fu Yunhe's brows twitched. The first person was eliminated faster than he expected. Fortunately, he was not so stupid as to suggest a bet with his elder brother.
After another cup of tea, Fu Yunhe suddenly felt that his fishing rod moved, and his face was filled with joy. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the sound of a tree branch being trampled was heard not far away:
"Crackling..."
Then, the fishing rod in his hand stopped moving, and circles of ripples circled around the fishing line and fainted in all directions on the river surface, as if mocking him.
Fu Yunhe's face was half black, and the soldiers who came to report the news were still unaware, and reported again out of breath: "My lord, General Li Bai, Chief Qiao Shi and Deputy Chief Zhang have formed an alliance for the time being. The same goes for Tun Chief, Chang Tun Chief, and Vice General Lu, and Tun Chief Liu and Bai General Li were eliminated just now."
Then he left again...
"My lord..."
The soldier repeated in this way, almost every other cup of tea, he would come to report. Later, Fu Yunhe felt a little regretful in his heart. He knew that he should not have chosen such an upright person to do this job.
As for Xiao Yi, he gave up the idea of fishing a long time ago. He tore off the fishing line casually, drew out his dagger, and sharpened one end of the fishing rod in two or three strokes.
Could it be that the eldest brother wants to... Fu Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was really a good idea, so he simply followed suit. Xiaosi was not to be outdone, thinking: I must bring some fresh river fish back to Han Yu anyway!
After they caught a bucket full of fish with their harpoons, Guan Yubai and Hua Chuyu, who insisted on fishing, also took back a little bit, and a few nimble fish swam around in the bucket. result.
The soldier came over with five people including Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, and Qiao Shenyu, and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Lord Hou, the younger ones of the five who successfully broke the formation have been brought here."
Seventeen people entered the formation, and only five broke through.
This is just the most simplified version of "Tianmen Formation".
However, despite successfully breaking through the formation, the expressions of these five people were not at all relaxed. Even Yu Xiufan, who always had a playful face, had a dignified expression. Only the corner of Qiao Shenyu's mouth could not hide his complacency. Also broke through on his own!
There is only one quota for this trip, but five people broke through, so who will this quota belong to next? Or did they all fail? !
The five of them remained silent, watching Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai together, waiting for the verdict.
Xiao Yi had no expression on his face, showing no signs of happiness or anger. He once again extended his hand to Guan Yubai, asking him to make the final decision.
"Captain Yu, Chief Chang, General Li, and Vice General Lu." Guan Yubai called their names one after another, his eyes paused on each of them, and the person he pointed to instantly The heart was raised, hanging in the air, and the breathing almost stopped for a moment.
"Tomorrow is the right time, gather the troops at the gate of the city, and set off for Yongjia City!" Guan Yubai said slowly, the clouds were light and the wind was light, but there was a hint of vigor for a general.
The four of Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi were all beaming, and they couldn't believe their ears. All four of them were selected? But doesn't it mean that there is only one place
The four of them looked at each other. The fatigue from the battle just now was gone, and they all became more energetic. Only Qiao Shenyu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Qiao Shenyu couldn't help clenching his fists, with bulging veins on his forehead, he roared unwillingly: "Then what about me?! I'm also broken, why can't I go?!"
"Joe Shenyu."
This time, it was Xiao Yi who spoke out, and he called him by his first name, which made Qiao Shenyu's heart sink, with an ominous premonition.
Yu Xiufan and the others seemed to realize that Qiao Shenyu was excluded by Guan Yubai.
The smile on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth faded away, and he asked forcefully, "Qiao Shenyu, you know how you broke the formation?! You framed your teammates. How can anyone dare to hand over their backs when they go to the battlefield in the future? for you?!"
Just now, the soldiers had already reported the details of what happened during the assessment. Qiao Shenyu was able to break through the formation by framing his ally, Deputy Chief Zhang, and Deputy Chief Zhang sprained his left arm because of this.
"But..." Qiao Shenyu still wanted to quibble, obviously it was Guan Yubai who said before that there was only one spot, why couldn't he get rid of his competitor!
Xiao Yi was too lazy to talk to him, why bother arguing with a villain, and directly ordered: "Come here, Qiao Shenyu has a wicked mind and framed his colleagues. Now he will be dismissed from the army and return to Luoyue City immediately. He will never be hired!"
The last four words reverberated so loudly that everyone's heart shivered when they heard it, and at the same time, their hearts were like a mirror.
Thinking about it carefully, there is actually a deep meaning behind An Yihou's assessment, even if it is the most streamlined version of the "Tianmen Formation", they cannot break the formation alone with their own strength.
The so-called "one quota" and "Tianmen Formation" are just blindfolds, what An Yihou really needs to test is cooperation and trust.
Fortunately, they all maintained the bottom line of being generals and worked together to break through the formation, so they passed this test and ushered in a real opportunity for themselves.
Qiao Shenyu, who still wanted to make a noise and wanted to suppress Xiao Yi with King Zhennan and Mrs. Qiao, was quickly covered by the soldiers and dragged down rudely.
Fu Yunhe looked at the four people who were beaming with joy, and winked and coaxed: "Xiao Fanzi, Xiao Xizi, A Guang, Pingyao, it seems that you are going to be promoted, please treat me! Hurry up and treat me! No one is allowed to leave without a treat!"
"Then what's the problem! Let's go, I'll treat you, let's go eat now!" Yu Xiufan said boldly with a wave of his arms.
As soon as the words fell, Chang Huaixi said nonchalantly: "Do you have any money for a treat?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiufan froze instantly. He did bring some silver with him before he came here, no more, no less, that is, dozens of taels of silver. However, he is a careless spender. Over the past few months, his pockets have been emptied, and he only lives on the monthly salary. Now he really has no money.
Yu Xiufan rolled his eyeballs, and after thinking about it, he suggested with a smile: "Then let Xiao Xizi treat you." Then, he looked at Li Baijiang and Lu Baijiang, and said sweetly. Said, "Brother Li, Brother Lu, you have wives and children to support your family, and Xiao Xizi is alone, so the whole family will not be hungry if one person eats enough."
Everyone was amused by Yu Xiufan, and they couldn't help laughing out loud. For a while, the riverside kept laughing...
In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Yi quickly issued several military orders, which shocked all the battalion soldiers in the city.
One is to set up the Xinrui Battalion, appointing Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi as one hundred generals, each leading one hundred soldiers under their command, the Xinrui Battalion is temporarily full.
The second is to change the Qianqi Battalion into the Youqi Battalion, with a staff of 3,000 people. Li Deguang and Lu Pingyao were respectively promoted to the chief and deputy cavalry leaders, and entered the Youqi Battalion, and ordered Lieutenant Hua Chuyu to be responsible for recruiting elite soldiers. Thousands of cavalry means that another two thousand elite soldiers will be recruited. For those white soldiers from poor backgrounds, this is also a great opportunity to make contributions.
In three cases, the three battalions of the Divine Arm Battalion, Xinrui Battalion and Youqi Battalion were all handed over to the commander of An Yihou, and they set off for Yongjia City to take charge of the overall situation.
No matter what kind of turmoil these three military orders caused in the army, but this time, no one dared to run to Xiao Yi or Guan Yubai to talk to the front.
After all, Hou An Yi's achievements in defending the city are still impressively before his eyes.
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.
Their warriors are not like those literati who judge the outcome with words and pens. On the battlefield of warriors, everything is based on strength - An Yihou has already demonstrated his unquestionable strength that dominates the crowd!
Even if there is some sour grapes, it is just a few small waves, which are not worth mentioning in the vast sea. As night falls, the turmoil gradually subsides...
So, when the sun rose the next day, Guan Yubai in a Confucian robe led three battalions of more than 2,000 soldiers, and set off from Yanding City in a mighty manner, accompanied by Fu Yunhe and Hua Chuyu.
The army galloped all the way in the direction of Yulan Mountain. Guan Yubai, who was riding on a white horse, galloped ahead, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
Tread Tread...
Si Lin, who was dressed in black, caught up with Guan Yubai. Although Guan Yubai still had an elegant and indifferent expression, for some reason, Si Lin felt that he seemed to be in a good mood today.
"Yubai, haven't we had a horse race for a long time? How about a comparison?"
Before he finished speaking, Si Lin had already clamped his horse's belly, passed Guan Yubai, and rode away.
Looking at Si Lin in front of him, Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing, and also accelerated the horse's speed, the horse's hooves flying.
Guan Yubai is really in a good mood, there are many reasons, one of which is the Youqi Camp...
When guarding the western frontier, he had a Youqi Battalion under his command.
Before Xiao Yi issued the military order, he didn't tell him in advance, so when he saw that Xiao Yi was going to reorganize the Qianqi Battalion into the Youqi Battalion, he was also very surprised. He understood Xiao Yi's intentions, Xiao Yi was telling him that in the future the Youqi Battalion would be led by him, trained by him, and would be his subordinates from now on!
Thinking about it, Guan Yubai subconsciously tightened the rope in his hand, and the distance between him and Si Lin gradually narrowed.
Xiaosi followed behind Guan Yubai like a shadow, staring at the corner of his slightly raised mouth, and looked at the young master's back with complicated eyes. Since the first time he followed the young master to the battlefield, for several years, he followed the young master like this, watching him go to the battlefield again and again, without fear, without fatigue... In the young master's heart, there is a country, There are people, there are officials and troops, and there is righteousness... So, he has nothing to fear.
Ever since the official family was destroyed, Xiao Si thought that he would never see the young master's heroic spirit again, but the world is unpredictable, maybe this is fate, maybe the young master belongs to the battlefield after all...
A movement in his chest woke him up from his thoughts, he comforted Han Yu in his arms, and calmly made his horse's speed more even.
Tread Tread...
Thousands of troops marched well-trained, took the shortcut path beside Yulan Mountain, and arrived at Yongjia City that night.
Relying on the Eagle Talisman of the eldest son Xiao Yi, the current garrison king of Yongjia City, Shoubei, immediately ordered the city gate guards to open the city gate in the dark night to welcome more than two thousand soldiers into the city. The generals in the army were summoned urgently to the main hall of the Garrison Mansion.
Next, the city of Yongjia was full of wind and clouds, and the official language used Xiao Yi's Eagle Talisman to take charge of the overall situation. He took over the 20,000 Southern Border Army left in the city, and ordered the army to be reorganized at Maoshi tomorrow.
There was an uproar in the army, they had a grudge against the Marquis An Yi sent by the emperor, but the son's eagle talisman was in the opponent's hand, in the southern border army, seeing a talisman is like seeing a person.
Since Marquis An Yi held the Eagle Talisman, if they refused to obey, it would be a violation of the military order, even if they were beheaded immediately, it would be a matter of course.
This night, the entire Yongjia City passed in a strange atmosphere. At dawn the next day, more than 12,000 troops gathered at the gate of the city, leaving 10,000 defenders to guard the city. The rest immediately set off for Dengli city.
This battle was so fast that all the soldiers were surprised.
This An Yihou seems to be gentle and elegant, but he acts like a thunderbolt, which makes people unable to make long-term plans and can only follow the trend...
In Dengli City, Ikaluo didn't know that the Nanliang army led by the five kings had been wiped out, and he was walking back and forth in the study restlessly.
It has been three days since today, but the good news has not come yet.
Now is the blooming period of Qianmanlan, there should be no problem...
Speaking of Qianmanlan, this is a very common flower in Nanliang. When he found it near Yanding City and learned that Qianmanlan was also scattered around Huiling City, Ikaluo knew that the opportunity had come. The southern Xinjiang army came from afar, so they must not be able to adapt to Qianmanlan's pollen. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, they will definitely recruit military medicine from Luoyue City.
Therefore, Nanliang's spies who had been lurking in Luoyue City for many years came in handy.
Replace the garan medicine with eclipse heart blue, and mix it into the herbs bought for Luoyue City. This medicine made of eclipse heart indigo will not have any effect if taken alone, but once it is mixed with the pollen of Tianxin flower, it will have a strong hallucinogenic effect. In the hallucination, the Southern Border Army will kill each other, and even suicide…
This plan was originally prepared for Huiling City, but since he lost Yanding City, he put the plan in Yanding City.
After deciding on the time for the decisive battle, he first sent a small group of people to plant the pollen of Tianxinhua in the Yanlai River. Then the Southern Frontier Army's defensive cruising battalion, first boarding battalion, and selection battalion outside the city would no longer be an obstacle. , only 5,000 defenders left in the city. The 20,000 southern border army confronted the 5,000 southern border army, and the outcome can be imagined!
But things are just too weird.
It has been three days, not only no good news, but also no news.
Ikaluo already felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to investigate yesterday morning, but the sent person hadn't returned yet, but he was waiting for a shocking news.
"Commander! Commander, more than 10,000 southern Xinjiang troops are coming here, and they have already arrived five miles away!" A soldier in armor hurriedly came to report.
Yi Kaluo's expression froze, he knew that Xiao Yi led an army of 20,000 to Yongjia City a long time ago, and he was also wary that the other party might lead an army to attack at any time... Now the other party finally couldn't hold back.
"Let's go! Follow me to the gate of the city!" Ikaluo lifted up his robe, and led a few soldiers to the gate of the city...
At this time, it was already high in the sun, before Ikaluo reached the gate of the city, the black army from southern Xinjiang had already approached the city, and a letter of declaration of war was sent into the city along with a wooden box.
Fearing that there might be fraud in it, before the wooden box was presented to Marshal Ikaluo, a general defending the city opened the wooden box first, but he was so frightened by the contents of the box that he almost threw the wooden box away Fortunately, he was still stable.
After closing the box, the general anxiously asked the soldiers beside him, "Go and see, is the commander here?"
This box is really too heavy, he really can't afford it!
The general temporarily handed over the box to the soldiers beside him, with a miserable expression on his face.
The soldier was about to agree, but saw on the street not far away, a tall man was leading a group of people on horseback. Seeing the tall and mighty appearance of the other party, isn't it Ikaluo!
The general regained his composure and personally sent the declaration of war and the heavy wooden box down the city wall. When he walked down the stone steps, Ikaluo had just dismounted.
"Marshal!" The general stepped forward and gave Ikaluo a military salute, "This is the declaration of war sent by the Southern Border Army just now, and..." He paused, but still gritted his teeth and said vigorously, "And The heads of the five and nine kings!"
While speaking, he gestured to the guard beside him, and the guard immediately opened the wooden box.
Hearing this, even Ikaluo was so startled that he took half a step back, almost unable to believe his ears and eyes.
As the box was opened, a strong rotten smell rushed over, and there were two human heads in the box, both of them had gray complexions and protruding eyeballs, it was obvious that they were dead!
Although the appearance of a person after death seems to be very different from that of his life, Ikaluo is still 100% sure that these two heads really belong to the Five Kings and Nine Kings.
how so? !
Although the Nine Kings were captured, didn't Xiao Yi never attack him? Wasn't Xiao Yi trying to keep the Nine Kings from negotiating terms with them in Nanliang in the future? ! How could he, how dare he!
And five kings...
Even the five kings lost their lives. Doesn't that mean that their 20,000 troops from Nanliang...
Thinking about it, Ikaluo's heart was full of anger and blood, and he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.
He managed to regain his composure, now that the enemy was in front of him, it was not the time for him to panic.
"Go, follow me to the city wall!" Saying that, Ikaluo took the lead in striding towards the stone steps. The general followed closely behind.
When he got to the top of the city wall, Ikaluo raised his eyes and saw a place one mile away from the city wall. The Southern Border Army was standing by aggressively at the same place. In the cold wind, a silver-white banner was flying in the air, flaunting it wantonly.
Yikaluo frowned, his eyes showed doubts, he remembered that Xiao Yi's flag was black, but this flag was silver-white, could it be that it wasn't Xiao Yi who led the army to attack this time? !
But if it wasn't Xiao Yi who came, who would it be
As soon as Ikaluo raised his hand, the soldiers immediately handed the clairvoyance to him.
Through the little clairvoyance, the details a mile away seemed to be in front of his eyes, and Ikaluo fixed his eyes on the big characters written on the banner——
official.
