When Liu Yu saw Li Hong, he only said one sentence: "Three hundred and fifty-seven people, okay?" ”

Li Hong was ecstatic. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He nodded desperately, unable to utter a word.

Li Hong wiped away his tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Yu three times. This ordinary-looking old man, with his selfless mind and absolute trust, won Li Hong's determination to fight to the death. Even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it will not hesitate.

Li Hong walked out of Lulong Tower and saw Xian Yufu and more than 300 soldiers standing next to the war horses, neatly lined up in six columns. Xian Yufu watched him come out, and shouted: "Salute the military lord!" ”

Xian Yufu and three hundred and fifty-six soldiers knelt down on one leg at the same time, shouting in unison: "Swear to follow ...... to the death" The roar suddenly sounded in the empty square, soaring into the sky.

Li Hong's eyes suddenly moistened. His heart was beating violently, his blood was boiling, and his lips trembled, not knowing how to express his gratitude.

At this time, from the opposite side of the square, Tian Zhong hurriedly ran over with twenty-eight soldiers who had survived the battle of Lulongse. Seeing that they were all in armor, Li Hong stared blankly, at a loss.

Tian Zhong and twenty-eight soldiers all knelt down in front of Li Hong.

"Your Excellency led your troops deep into the tiger's den, how can you leave us behind and go alone."

"My lord, there are only twenty-nine of us left in the Lulongsai border army and we can continue to fight. Die, and we will also die with adults. ”

Tian Zhong suddenly raised the bloodstained Han battle flag in his hand, and led the soldiers to shout: "Swear to follow ...... to the death"

Li Hong's tears finally couldn't be controlled and flowed down.

Liu Yu and Liu Zheng stood on the city tower, looking at it from a distance, and their hearts were very moved.

"......Someone is coming," Liu Zheng suddenly turned around and shouted, "Give them war horses." ”

Li Hong picked up Tian Zhong and looked at his gray hair, with mixed feelings for a while. A strong murderous aura suddenly surged into his heart. These hateful Hu people, if they don't invade, where will the war come from, and where will people of such age be used on the battlefield.

He stretched out his hand to take the battle flag from Tian Chong's hand, strode to his war horse, and flew on the horse.

Li Hong faced the faces full of fighting spirit and seeing death as home, all the soldiers who were fully armed and willing to follow him to the battlefield, and suddenly felt that he was dead and worth it.

"All on the ......"

Li Hong roared: "...... departure"

Li Hong raised the flag in his right hand, rode a horse and walked in the front, led the soldiers through the city gate of Lulonglou, walked up to Lulongsai Square, and walked towards the main gate of Wangrilou.

After Liu Yu decided to send troops, Liu Zheng immediately ordered all the soldiers to start carrying the earthen bags blocking the city gates. After more than an hour of hard work by nearly two thousand soldiers, the gates of the city were finally opened. The soldiers gathered on both sides of the square, silently bidding farewell to this group of brave and fearless warriors.

The soldiers sat upright on their horses and looked around at Luronse, perhaps for the last time. The sound of horses' hooves trampling resounded through Luronse.

Suddenly, more than a dozen war horses rushed out from under the city of Lulonglou, and immediately the knight chased after him fiercely.

"My lord, the lower official is Yan Wuxing. He used to be a horse thief, but now he's a chief. The lower officials admired the courage of the adults and were willing to follow the adults to kill the enemy. ”

Yan Wuxing was a burly tall man with a long face and short beard, and he looked like a fierce warrior. Looking at Yan Wu's fearless and resolute expression, Li Hong rode his horse and said gratefully: "You are violating military regulations by doing this......

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of military regulations." Yan Wuxing immediately interrupted Li Hong's words and said loudly.

Li Hong thought about it, "Let's go to the back." Thank you. ”

Yan Wuxing happily agreed, turned the horse's head with his men, and ran to the back of the team to keep up.

The war drums on Lu Long's tower suddenly sounded.

The drums beat violently, like a burst of thunder shaking the warriors who were about to travel. For a while, their blood was boiling, their morale was like a rainbow, and the anger and fear that had accumulated in their bodies suddenly tilted out.

Li Hong held the battle flag high and shouted back: "For the sake of the big man, kill ......"

Li Hong took the lead and rushed out of the tall Lulongsai city gate.

The soldiers behind him echoed in unison: "Kill ......" followed closely behind and shot out like a violent wind.

The soldiers in the square were inspired by their pride, and one by one they looked excited, and raised their arms and shouted: "Kill ......" The shout suddenly resounded throughout Lulongse.

At dusk, the troops galloped for a hundred miles in a row until they reached an unknown hill. It is sixty miles away from the Red Flower Valley and forty miles away from the Bailing Ranch. Li Hong ordered everyone to go into the mountains and hide and rest. Then he confessed a few words to Xian Yufu, and went out of the mountain alone to reconnoiter at Bailing Ranch.

Xian Yufu stood on the top of the hill, watching Li Hong's back gradually disappear from view.

When Lord Thorn called him into the Lulong Tower and told him about the plan, he was at first taken aback, this idea was so crazy, attacking the Karasuma people's lark ranch. More than 2,000 Karasuma and Xianbei soldiers withdrew last night, and they attacked tonight, a madman's plan, incredible. Then came the shock. Because Liu Yu told him that there were only more than 300 soldiers and no one else. Attacking a pasture with more than 2,000 soldiers with more than 300 people is an inconceivable and impossible task. He couldn't understand how an adult, who had always been calm and wise, could agree to such a plan. When he listened to Li Hong's detailed explanation, he could only say that he was convinced. This young man a few years younger than himself is indeed a genius, and his careful analysis, accurate judgment, and unbridled ideas are beyond his reach. He was convinced, and went out to gather the soldiers with confidence, determined to accompany Li Hong to complete this crazy plan.

"My lord, will you come down and eat something?" Tun Chang Fu Qiang walked up to him and said softly.

Xian Yufu nodded, and followed him into the woods.

"Are the hooves of the horses wrapped in cowhide? The horse's mouth is covered with a cage? ”

"It's all done, sir." Fu Qiang whispered, "My lord, this Li Junhou has great courage and high martial arts, and you can see from the way he walks that he is a brave and fearless man, and he is a great person." Why haven't you heard about it in the past? ”

"Why not? Do I hear you say it often? Xian Yufu said with a smile.

"Don't be funny, my lord. I don't know him. "Fu Qiang is a strong young man, he usually likes to talk and laugh, and he is also very familiar with Xian Yufu. He thought Xian Yufu was joking, and he was happy.

"He's the leopard. Luronse's people call him Kuroko, but he is the leopard who was hunted down by the Xianbei people. ”

Fu Qiang's eyes widened, "Really? ”

Xian Yufu ignored him and continued to go his own way. Fu Qiang immediately laughed, "Amazing." Luronse's people are just amazing. Any scout can turn Xianbei upside down, no wonder tens of thousands of barbarians can't beat the fortress, it's amazing. He took it for granted that Li Hong was a spy and an undercover agent sent out by Lu Longsai.

Fu Qiang's news caused a small shock. Among the soldiers, except for Tian Zhong, they all seemed to have discovered a new continent, and their spirits were high, and they gathered in groups of three or five, whispering and talking.

Yan Wuxing sat beside Tian Chong, his eyebrows fluttering, and he was scolding. Tian Zhong really couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "You're excited to see the leopard before you die, aren't you?" ”

"Yes. Today, this kind of hero can only be seen in the land of Yan Zhao, is there any other place? ”

"Okay, okay, let's sleep, save your strength to kill people at night, okay?"

"Not good. When I was a horse thief, leopards were running for their lives, and I heard a lot. I'll tell you about it. ”

"You're just a soldier?" Tian Zhong asked curiously.

"Yes. Ten days ago. Yan Wuxing said with a big grin.

"You know what? If you leave the army with your subordinates and follow the military lords, you will be killed for your behavior of not abiding by military discipline. ”

Yan Wuxing's eyes widened, and he suddenly scolded fiercely, and said stupidly: "Then I'd better go back and be a horse thief." ”

Seeing that Yan Wuxing suddenly breathed, Tian Chong smiled secretly and fell asleep.

Xian Yufu sat quietly on the top of the mountain, waiting for Li Hong to appear.

A dull string of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.

Xian Yufu stood up, turned around and ran into the woods, and woke up a few officers, "Get up, Lord Soldier is back." Shouting the soldiers and getting ready for action. ”

The woods immediately became busy, and everyone packed up in the dark and led their horses down the mountain one after another.

Li Hongfei dismounted, greeted Xian Yufu and several officers, and said softly, "Are you all ready?" ”

Xian Yufu and several people nodded one after another. Fu Qiang and the others looked at Li Hong with adoring eyes. Li Hong summoned them to squat on the ground, and in the faint moonlight, he drew a sketch of a pasture on the ground.

"As a result of the enemy's withdrawal overnight yesterday, the soldiers marched more than a hundred miles back to the pasture, exhausted. Now they are all asleep in the tent, and they can't hear even the thunder. So tonight's sneak attack will be successful. You can let go and do whatever you want. ”

"We were divided into two teams, Lord Xian Yu led 200 men to kill from the north, and I led people to kill from the south, so that the continuous back and forth non-stop rush and kill, gave the enemy the illusion of being attacked by a large army, and made them completely collapse. Remember, be fast, be fast. We have to make the enemy panic, then fear, and then they will give up, they will flee, they will surrender. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Several people spoke in unison.

"Go and call Yan Wuxing and Tian Changjing." Li Hong said to one of the heralds standing beside them. The herald hesitated and did not leave.

Li Hong remembered something, and then laughed: "It's the gray-haired old man." Soon, Tian Zhong and Yan Wuxing ran over.

"This is the horse farm, and the war horses are here, all of them are circled. Next to it is the hay field. Uncle Chang Jing took ten men over, and after dealing with the soldiers guarding the hay field, he set fire to two stables to make the fire a little bigger. Remember, only two stables can be burned. Once all the forage is burned, there will be no rations for the horses, and these horses will soon become horse meat. The people around him chuckled softly. Tian Zhong happily agreed.

He followed many generals, and was always an unknown groom, and no one ever took him seriously. And the young man in front of him, in such an important battle, let him be in charge of a very important task, he has a sense of satisfaction of being valued and recognized. The old man was very excited.

"The fire should be burned a little bigger, so that the enemy will be more frightened, thinking that the side of the horse farm is already under our control, and will not flee in the direction of the horse farm. As soon as they fled into the horse farm, it was a trivial matter to ride a few horses, and they were afraid of alarming the horses, and the matter would be in trouble. This matter is very important, and it is important to respect the old man so that he does not make mistakes. ”

Tian Zhong nodded vigorously.

"Dauntless, after you rush in with me, take your brothers with you, don't come into contact with any enemy, and go straight to the tent of the Chinese army as fast as possible. Capture the thief first capture the king, catch Wuyan first, and the situation is equivalent to half of the control. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, sir." Yan Wuxing nodded excitedly. The first time I fought a war, I was entrusted with a heavy task, and it was strange not to be excited.

"Do you have any questions? I don't know, I can explain it again. If you know what you want to do on the battlefield and how you want to do it, you will have the bottom in your heart when you start a war, your confidence will be doubled, and victory will naturally be a matter of course. Li Hong said with a smile.

Everyone was infected by his ease and calmness, and the tension before the war gradually faded with the harmonious atmosphere of the conversation. Fu Qiang and the others immediately asked.

Xian Yufu silently looked at Li Hong, who was smiling, and listened to his low and patient explanation, feeling that this person was not only a soldier on the battlefield, but also the soul of the battlefield. He was born to fight a war. Being with him always makes people full of confidence, hope, relaxation and happiness, and makes people feel the strong affection between comrades-in-arms.

"Xian Yu adults, let's go." Li Hong stood up and said to Xian Yufu. Xian Yufu nodded, beckoned to the warriors behind, and everyone quickly got on the horse.

Tian Zhong ran over with Tian Jing's steel gun.

"This is the captain's gun." Li Hong took it in surprise and whispered. The gun was simple, heavy, and swarthy, emitting an eerie murderous aura in the dim moonlight.

"This gun has been passed on to seven masters, all of whom sacrificed their lives for the country and died heroically on the battlefield. Eight years ago, on the battlefield of the Sunset War, Lord Tian took over this gun from Lord Xia Yu and used it until yesterday. Before he died, Lord Tian asked me to hand it over to you, which can be regarded as a commemoration. Tian said sadly.

"Thank you. I won't let Tian-sama down. Thinking of Tian Jing, Li Hong's heart was sour and very uncomfortable.

Tian Zhong patted him lightly on the shoulder, "This gun will definitely bring you good luck." ”

Li Hong glanced at Tian Zhong gratefully and nodded vigorously.

He flew on his horse and led the group into the darkness of the night.
