If the soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion are mostly in awe of the iron egg, then for the monks, they feel much kinder.

It can be said that Tie Dan and the monk, in the fierce wolf camp, one is responsible for playing a red face, and the other is responsible for playing a white face, with a clear division of labor.

After Tie Dan left, the monk walked over, patted the soldier's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't blame General Tie, he is also in a hurry." Let the brothers endure it again.

When they arrived in Ruzhou City, not only did they have enough to eat, but they were also able to change into brand new cotton clothes. ”

"General Wei, when we arrive in Ruzhou City, will they really let us in? Are we really officers and soldiers? ”

Some of the fierce wolf camp soldiers still asked in disbelief.

After all, they have been mountain bandits for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of days of robbing homes and houses.

Now that Tie Dan suddenly told them that they were actually already officials, of course they couldn't believe it for a while.

When Tie Dan subdued these mountain bandits, he didn't tell them the true identity of the Fierce Wolf Camp at the beginning, and he didn't tell everyone until now when he returned to Ruzhou City with his team.

"Of course, from now on, you and General Tie are people under the command of General Daming Town.

If you follow us and join the fierce wolf battalion, then from now on, you will be an upright and upright official army, and you will no longer be a mountain bandit, and you will no longer be afraid of being exterminated by the official army. ”

Soon, in mid-February, on the eleventh day when Qi Wei was besieged by Song Xiance on the Wushi Mountain, Tie Dan and the monk arrived in Ruzhou City with the fierce wolf camp.

At this time, Xu Wei was in Ruzhou City, and he had already learned the news that Qi Wei was besieged in Wushi Mountain.

At the same time, he also just received the news sent back by Li Zixiao this morning, and learned of the victory of the mud ditch, and the next Li Zixiao is ready to rescue Qi Wei and fight a decisive battle with Song Xiance's army.

The time has dragged on for eleven days, and although Qi Wei is still stubbornly guarding the Wushi Mountain, Song Xiance has not conquered it even though he has suffered thousands of casualties.

However, as time goes by, Qi Wei is also close to running out of ammunition and food, and it is estimated that he will not last long.

After all, he was besieged on the Wushi Mountain, facing the 40,000 thief army led by Song Xiance under the mountain, he continued to attack day and night, and the food and ammunition were consumed very quickly.

The casualties are not small, but they cannot be replenished, and it is not easy for Qi Wei to survive until now.

At this time, after Song Xiance captured Dengfeng, he completely solved the problem of food shortage in his hands, and he could besiege Qi Wei for another ten days and half a month.

This is also the main reason why Li Zixiao is determined to go to the Wushi Mountain, join forces with Qi Wei, and start the final decisive battle with the thief army of the Song Dynasty.

"It's finally here."

When Tie Dan and the monk led more than 2,000 fierce wolf battalion soldiers to the outside of Ruzhou City, looking at the more and more tall Ruzhou City that had been built, Tie Dan's face finally showed a smile.

"Old Wei, let's go home." Tie Dan turned his face to the monk and said.

"yes, it's back." The monk also smiled.

The two of them took their men and their fierce wolf battalion soldiers, and in just four days, braved the last cold days of the year, traveled hundreds of miles, day and night, and finally arrived in Ruzhou City, how could they not be happy!

"Who's under the city?"

When Tie Dan and the monk came to the city of Ruzhou with a few soldiers, they were discovered by the defenders on the city wall and asked loudly.

"We were originally the guards Tie Liangyong and Wei Dazhong next to the general, and we are now the chief and deputy generals of the Fierce Wolf Battalion, and now we are back to our lives.

May I ask the brothers in the city, the general is staying in the city at this time, and I bother my brother to report, thank you! ”

Tie Dan stood under the city and shouted politely.

For the name of the iron egg and the monk, as well as the number of their fierce wolf battalion, the city defense sergeant in the city has really never heard of it.

There was no way, this city defense sergeant could only shout: "You wait, I'll inform the general." ”

"There's Brother Law."

"What! Iron Egg and Monk are back! When Xu Wei, who was in Ruzhou City, heard the report of the city guard, he also exclaimed.

"Let's go, go to the city gates." Xu Wei didn't say a word, and rushed to the city gate with his soldiers.

After Xu Wei climbed the city tower, he looked down at the city and found that it was really Tie Dan and the monk, and he was very excited.

"Iron eggs, monks, it's really you two stinky boys!" Xu Wei lay on the buttress of the Ru wall of the city tower and shouted to the two people under the city.

As soon as the two of them looked up, they recognized Xu Wei, and shouted with a loud laugh: "Sure enough, let the monk be right, it's really General Xu who stayed in Ruzhou City!"

Old general, we are back, open the city gates, let us in, we came all the way all the night, now we are tired, hungry and sleepy, I can't hold on! ”

"Haha, okay, the old man will let people open the door."

Xu Wei still trusts Tie Dan and the monk very much in his loyalty to Li Zixiao.

To say that among the generals in the White Dragon Army who are most unlikely to betray Li Zixiao, Tie Dan and Monk can definitely be counted among them.

"Shout, these two boys have disappeared for a long time, and they have even pulled up a large team, it seems that the general's worries some time ago are completely superfluous, these two boys can still have ability."

When the gate of Ruzhou City opened, Tie Dan waved to the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion who stayed in the distance, signaled that they could come, and then led them into Ruzhou City.

Xu Wei was also a little surprised by this, Tie Dan and the monk brought a total of more than 2,000 soldiers, which was not a lot.

But after they followed Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and disappeared, they did not receive a penny of food from the White Dragon Army.

It took half a year to pull up such a team in the impoverished Henan Prefecture in the west, which is already very rare.

"Meet General Xu." After Tie Dan and Shi saw Xu Wei, they both saluted respectfully.

"Haha, you two boys, you came back in a very timely manner!

Now the old man doesn't have to be entangled, whether to take the last few people who refused to defend Ruzhou City, go north to support the general, and fight a decisive battle with Song Xiance's thief army. ”

Xu Wei smiled very happily, not only because he saw Tie Dan and the monk coming back, but also because they came back with such a group of people, they could go north instead of him and support Li Zixiao.

Originally, in the news that Li Zixiao sent back to Ruzhou City, he was ordered not to go north to support, but only needed him to guard Ruzhou City.

But Xu Wei was always worried in his heart, if Li Zixiao and Qi Wei were defeated in the decisive battle with Song Xiance's thief army, then the situation would be extremely unfavorable to them.

"The general is going to fight a decisive battle with the army of thieves?" Tie Dan and the monk were also shocked when they heard Xu Wei's words.

"Well, I also just got the news sent back by the general, they just annihilated the thief Liu Tichun in the area of Gongxian County, killed Liu Tichun himself, and wiped out more than 7,000 thieves.

And Qi Wei has also held on to Wushi Mountain for eleven days, and if the time drags on, it will not be good for Qi Wei and them, so the general decided that almost three days later, he will have a decisive battle with Song Xiance in Wushi Mountain. ”

Xu Wei's face was very solemn and said solemnly.

"Haha, doesn't that mean that the two of us came back at the right time, there are still three days left, very good, let's just let the two of us go north to support the general, and General Xu will continue to stay in Ruzhou City."

When Tie Dan heard the news at this time, his whole person became excited, and he didn't care at all about the tiring and tiring things that he and his subordinates had traveled a long distance at this time.

In Tie Dan's opinion, the time for them to come back was just right, as long as they could catch up with the decisive battle between Li Zixiao and Song Xiance, they would be able to prove to Li Zixiao the strength of their fierce wolf camp through this battle.

"Don't worry, you should set off from Ruzhou City to the north, and it will only take less than a day to reach the Wushi Mountain, and you will travel a long way back.

The soldiers are probably tired, and it just so happens that the military camp in the city is quite empty, so you can live in it first, and I will cook a hot meal for you, and you will have a good meal.

Then, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you will talk about going north to support the general, and the general will not send hungry soldiers. ”

Xu Wei also saw the tired appearance of Tie Dan's soldiers at this time, so he said to Tie Dan.

"Okay, then it's going to trouble the old general, we're really tired." After listening to Xu Wei's words, Tie Dan also readily agreed.

Because what Xu Wei said was right, at this time, all the soldiers in their battalion were indeed exhausted, and they had to rest, otherwise they would not be able to fight at all when they went to the battlefield.

Subsequently, Tie Dan and the monk led the two thousand soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion and lived in the military camp in Ruzhou City.

At this time, with Qi Wei and Li Zixiao leading the army, the military camps in Ruzhou City were basically empty, and it was no problem for them to live in.

Whew!

As a result, when Tie Dan and the monk took their men and horses to live in the military camp, they didn't even have time to take off the tattered armor on their bodies, and they fell asleep directly, snoring loudly.

"That's really ......"

When Xu Wei asked the men to cook the meals and send them to the military camp, he found that the whole camp was asleep collectively.

Looking at the two Tie Dan and the monk who were like dead pigs, lying asleep in the camp tent, and couldn't wake up no matter how they shook it, Xu Wei could only show a wry smile.

"General, do you want to wake them up?" Jean asked Xu Wei again.

"No, they're too tired, just let them rest and rest, leave the food, they'll eat when they wake up."

Then he ordered the logistics department to select two thousand sets of intact armor, boots, water bottles and other materials from the armor warehouse in the city.

Sent to General Tie's barracks, how could the soldiers of our White Dragon Army wear such shabby. ”

Xu Wei looked at the tattered cotton armor on Tie Dan, the monk, and the soldiers under them, and instructed the adjutant behind him.

"Yes, General, my subordinates have written it down." The adjutant replied.

Tie Dan and the monk slept until the next day, and even they were awakened by hunger, otherwise they could continue to sleep.

When the soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion woke up, they found that there were already several large buckets of rice, vegetables, pork, etc. in their tents.

At this moment, the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion, who were already so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, shouted one after another, and began to eat chaotically.

They didn't care about these meals, in fact, they were already cold, and they devoured them one by one.

"This ......"

When Xu Wei came to the military camp again, he happened to find that the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion were rushing one by one, and they were like starving ghosts reincarnated, and the scene was a little chaotic.

When Tie Dan saw Xu Wei coming, he looked at Xu Wei and frowned slightly, and immediately understood that Xu Wei was dissatisfied with their chaotic appearance.

So, Tie Dan felt loudly and roared: "Everyone give Lao Tzu quiet." ”

Iron Dan's roar quieted the scene, and he swept all the fierce wolf camp soldiers with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Sit down for me and eat quietly." ”

Seeing that Tie Dan was about to go crazy, those fierce wolf camp soldiers immediately restrained a lot, and they all obediently prepared a meal.

"The old general is sorry, they are all from mountain bandits, and they blame me for not being strict in discipline on weekdays, so that their military discipline is a little lax, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Tie Dan said sincerely.

"It's nothing, the old man also knows that you are outside, it must not be easy. The brothers' food is cold, so I have the men make a new meal and bring it to you.

In addition, I have just asked my subordinates to select more than 2,000 sets of elite armor and weapons from the armor arsenal in the city, and they have been sent to the barracks.

After you finish eating, you can try it out, the old man dares to guarantee that changing into our White Dragon Army's new armor and weapons will definitely make you stronger. ”

Xu Wei didn't take the previous incident to heart, his face quickly returned to normal, and he said to Tie Dan.

"Then thank you to the old general." After Tie Dan heard the news, he was also excited.

Sophisticated armor and sharp weapons were what they lacked most for the fierce wolf battalion at this time.

The armor on their bodies is in tatters, and the weapons in their hands are also rusty and dull, if they can be replaced with the White Dragon Army's war armor swords and guns.

Tie Dan dared to guarantee that the overall combat power of the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion under him would be greatly improved.

"It's really fake, I'm not mistaken, such fine armor, such sharp knives and guns, is it really for us?"

When Tie Dan gathered his men and horses after the meal and received a piece of armor and weapons for each person, the soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

But when Tie Dan personally distributed a well-made cotton armor that was different from that of the Ming Army, the new cotton armor of the White Dragon Army, and a sharp knife and gun, to them, one set per person, they knew that this was true.

"Haha, I didn't expect the general to really lie to us, and we are now also officials."

The soldiers in the fierce wolf camp, after seeing the excellent armor assigned to them, completely believed what Tie Dan told them before.

Tie Dan took the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion and spent exactly two days in Ruzhou City, so that his men and horses were full of food and drink, and on the third day, Tie Dan asked to lead the army north.

He was worried that if he delayed for another two days, he might miss the decisive battle between Li Zixiao and Song Xiance's thief army in the area of Wushi Mountain.
