Heiwu already had 200,000 troops in the south this time, and because he didn't have time to appeal to His Majesty, the army led by Meng Changan and Shen Leng was only more than 50,000 people, but people like the two of them, who had already had countless experience in major wars, were not uneasy.

"General."

Xin Jigong saw that Shen Leng was looking at the map in front of the map, and said in a low voice: "General, half of the soldiers of our sailor team have not experienced actual combat, and I am a little worried. ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Just kill a few more people." ”

Xin Jigong was stunned: "Huh? ”

He couldn't believe it, most of the soldiers of the Navy Division had never experienced a big war, and at this time, the first battle was facing the Black Warriors, and he was really worried that something would go wrong.

"Do you know what I ordered to slaughter?"

Shen Leng glanced at him sideways: "First, because the non-slaughter clan is not enough to deter the Bohai people who are still alive, and the second is that I want to use the slaughter clan to raise the murderous spirit of the recruits. ”

Shen Leng's finger clicked on the map: "Look at this, there are three villages here, forty-five miles away from the garrison of Dedetuo's army, Dedetuo's army is in Dongyeyuan, it takes them about half a day to get here, there are a lot of cavalry in Dedetuo's team, so it won't take long to travel dozens of miles, according to half a day, you send two thousand recruits over, let them march here tonight, slaughter these three villages, tell them I won't send reinforcements to respond, if they are not fast enough, they will be caught up by the cavalry of the black warriors, life and death." ”

Shen Leng threw the charcoal on the map, and he had already drawn many lines and black dots on the map.

Xin Jigong is still not at ease: "They are all recruits, in case they ......"

"If you don't feel at ease, you lead the team."

Shen Leng glanced at Xin Jigong: "I won't send reinforcements if you lead the team." ”

Xin Jigong was a little embarrassed, but it was not good to say anything, it was about seventy miles from Gaotang City to those villages, which was farther than the black warriors, if the team marched seventy miles to the place, it would be tired, and it would be impossible to slaughter those villages, and then it would be impossible to defeat the cavalry of the black warriors, this was almost an impossible task, at this moment Shen Leng seemed to become a little indifferent and unkind.

"Go ahead and arrange it, the longer you spend here with me, the more detrimental it will be to those you have assigned to the past."

Shen Leng looked out: "There are still two hours left until it gets dark. ”

Xin Jigong immediately turned around and ran out of the room: "My subordinates will arrange it." ”

Shen sneered, and subconsciously wanted to shout Ran Zi, and then remembered that Chen Ran followed the tea master to the northern Xinjiang side, and his personal barracks were not there, this time he brought more than 20,000 soldiers, of which there were only 2,000 light horses, and it was extremely difficult to transport 2,000 horses.

"Big black!"

Shen Leng shouted outside.

The general in charge of commanding the light cavalry is called Li Gaota, who is tall and dark, so many people call him Da Hei, this person is Wang Kuohai, who is one size smaller, but Wang Kuohai is not black, and the places where he can see are not black, and Li Gaota's visible places are black, and he himself said that the invisible places are even darker, this sentence should be a hooligan, and the evidence is sufficient.

Li Gaota walked in quickly from outside and bowed: "General, please command." ”

"After a while, Xin Jigong will arrange two thousand recruits to march urgently to carry out a mission, I told them that there will be no reinforcements, you set off with light cavalry two hours after they set off, and you are not allowed to let them know that you are behind you, if they are late and are discovered by the black warriors, your light cavalry will attack and harass the cavalry of the black warriors, don't fall in love with the battle, just harass it."

Li Gaota answered, and then asked: "But general, what if the black warriors are entangled?" ”

"You have 2,000 light cavalry, can you make a formation of 10,000 cavalry?"

Li Gaota's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood: "My subordinates understand." ”

Shen sneered and nodded: "If you can put up a formation of 10,000 cavalry, the black warriors will be worried about whether there is an ambush or whether they have been fooled, so they don't dare to chase after it, and after getting the news."

Detuo will also help me kill someone. ”

"Kill whom?"

Li Gaota was a little curious.

Shen Leng waved his hand: "Get out, hurry up and prepare the team." ”

Li Gaota smiled, turned around and walked out, walked to the door and turned back: "Kill whom, General, if you don't tell me, my heart is itching." ”

Shen sneered: "Itchy? Itchy......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Gaota ran away, because he knew that the general's next words were definitely not good words, they were trash talk, they were words, he ran out to prepare the cavalry team, and Xin Jigong's side selected two thousand recruits and finished explaining, these recruits only brought rations for three meals, and set off lightly, and the team quickly left Gaotang City, and it was not dark when they left the city.

Xin Jigong came back from outside, saw that Shen Leng was still looking at the map, and after walking not far from Shen Leng, he leaned over and said, "According to the general's orders, two thousand recruits have been arranged to leave the city." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Why don't you go?" ”

Xin Jigong smiled wryly: "My subordinates think that if I go, the general will deduct my military salary." ”

Shen Leng raised his head and glanced at him: "Why do you think so?" If you think about it, you can think of the right place, don't think about it next time, I can't deduct you this time, I have to find a chance next time, it's uncomfortable. ”

Xin Jigong smiled: "Actually, the general won't really not arrange reinforcements, I know that the general must have arranged it." ”

Shen Leng looked at Xin Jigong and said seriously: "Do you bet on five months' military salary?" ”

Xin Jigong was stunned, and suddenly became less confident, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "It's too much, or would you bet for a month?" ”

Shen Leng immediately nodded: "Okay, it's okay for a month." ”

Xin Jigong was startled, and hurriedly shook his head: "Don't gamble." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "You are just a little short of winning my five-month military salary...... I have already arranged for Li Gaota to go out of the city with the light cavalry, but on the other side. ”

The hard work is heartbroken, beating the chest, all kinds of regrets, remorse.

"Actually, it's useless if you win."

Shen Leng snorted: "Do you think that if you win, you can really get my five-month salary?" ”

Xin Jigong said: "The general will follow his orders, will he still regret it?" Anyway, I don't believe it, as long as the general agrees, there is absolutely no possibility of renegotiating, and the time I have followed the general is not short, and I still know something about the general. ”

"Then you really don't understand."

Shen Leng shook his head and smiled, not saying much.

Xin Jigong said unrelentingly: "I definitely understand, in fact, I was not satisfied with coming to the water division before I came to the water division, I wanted to go to the northern Xinjiang, and the black barbarians did it with real swords and guns, but I was arranged to the side of the water division, I was a little unconvinced, and I was unwilling, so I deliberately inquired more about the general, and then I had more contact, and followed the general to fight in the northern Xinjiang, so I am very sure that the general is a person who believes in his word, unless he does not agree, he will do whatever he agrees." ”

Shen Leng: "Although this sycophant is a little blunt and tactful, and slightly exaggerated, I still gladly accepted it...... You say you know me, you say I am true to my word, these ...... Even if you're right, but you think that if you win my five months, you can get my five months, which is enough to prove that you don't know me very well, and if you did, you wouldn't be so confident. ”

"Why?"

Xin Jigong was a little incomprehensible: "Please also ask the general to make it clear, where do you not understand the general." ”

Shen Leng sighed, looked away from the map, and said helplessly when he looked at Xin Jigong: "If you really know me well enough, you will know very well that my next thirty years of income have been deducted, where are you going to get my five months of income." ”

Xin Jigong: "......"

After a long time, Xin Jigong sighed: "General, you bet with me like this, you are cheating." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "I'm a general, of course I have to be true to my word, it's not that I don't give you a bet, I just need to bother you yourself, you can go to the household department of Chang'an City to say it, if it doesn't make sense, go to the military department to try, if the military department doesn't work again, you can."

Go to the cabinet and try it, if you can't do it, you can only ask to see Your Majesty, besides, don't you dare to bet. ”

Shen Leng moved for a moment, and then walked out: "I'll go to inspect the barracks, and now I'll give you half an hour, and then pick two thousand recruits to come out." ”

Xin Jigong was stunned: "Still picking?" Is it supported? ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "One hundred and twenty miles north from here is the most important passage from the Northern Han City of the Bohai Road to the Northern Xinjiang, this official road is also the best road in the Bohai Sea, if you can get to the Lion and Tiger City at the border, the black warriors will definitely defend this road, there is a small city one hundred and twelve miles away, the black warriors will definitely have a garrison, you personally lead the team, take two thousand people to set off tonight, take down that small city tomorrow, and bring back all the black warriors and Bohai people, I need these to boost morale." ”

Xin Jigong's footsteps stopped: "The team has not been selected yet, it has not been prepared, it is two hundred and forty miles back, and it is necessary to attack the city......"

Shen Leng glanced back at him: "You think you can't do it?" ”

"It's a little difficult."

Xin Jigong is not without self-confidence, this is indeed a little difficult, two hundred and forty miles, the time to run back and forth is not rich, and he has to attack the city, and he has to kill everyone to come back, this is simply ....... He didn't dare to question anything directly.

"Then you go and do another thing."

"General, please command."

"Blow the horn and gather all the recruits, in the middle of the city."

"Yes!"

Xin Jigong replied and hurriedly ran out.

Half an hour later, the school field.

Shen Leng stood on the high platform, more than 10,000 recruits gathered here, they all looked at the general on the high platform attentively, Shen Leng looked down, the generals of each standard battalion had arrived one by one, Shen Leng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Just now I assigned a task to General Xin Jigong, let him choose 2,000 people from among your people, run one hundred and twenty miles overnight, take down a small city controlled by the black warriors, and kill all the enemies in the city, whether they are the black warriors or the Bohai people, Then when I came back the morning after tomorrow, General Xin Jigong felt sorry for you, saying that it was impossible to accomplish it. ”

The people in the recruit camp whispered, they all felt that this was indeed too difficult, and it was not cavalry, it was already difficult to run 120 miles in one night, and it was already difficult to attack the city and kill people, and then run 120 miles back in one night, it was too difficult, and no one could do it.

"I don't want to embarrass you, but I have to let you know that there are things you can't do just because you feel you can't."

Shen Leng stretched out his hand and pointed casually: "Just over here, a standard battalion, 1,200 people, come with me now." ”

He jumped down from the high platform: "Give you half an hour to bring dry food, after half an hour I will wait outside the city, there is no need to chase those who are too late to get outside the city, I will send the stragglers back to Daning, just continue to go back to be comfortable, you are not needed on the battlefield." ”

Xin Jigong was stunned, and all the recruits were stunned.

Half an hour later, Shen Leng counted the number of people outside the city, and all the soldiers of the first standard battalion arrived.

Shen Leng nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go now." ”

Xin Jigong took people out of the city, watching the team run out, Xin Jigong was extremely worried, but he couldn't stop anything, who could stop Shen Leng?

The night passes, the day comes, and then the day passes, and the night comes again.

One day and two nights, it is not a long time to say, but for Xin Jigong, he is like a year, and he is so tormented that he can't wait to leave and take people out to answer, but before leaving, the general strictly ordered him not to lead his troops out of the city, and he had no other way but to stand on the city wall and wait.

At the moment when the sun had just risen, he saw the soldiers returning in the distance, and then a loud song wafted over.

Shen Leng walked in front of the team, carrying the black line knife, walking a little like a hanger, and the soldiers behind him sang with their voices, all excited like people who had not slept for a day or two nights and had run for more than 200 miles, because they did it, they won, killed more than 400 black warriors, slaughtered 2,300 Bohai people, and each person had a human head hanging on his belt, dangling around.
