Volume 10 Chapter 279
Chapter 279
Hearing Tang Yin's call, the soldiers of Zhen gathered loosely together. Looking at them, they saw that their helmets were crooked and slanted, and they looked like anything.
After Zhu Zhuke looked at it, he couldn't help but frown. He lowered his head and looked at Tang Yin again, asking: "Tang Chu, is this how you lead the army?"
Tang Yin blinked and looked back. He didn't think there was anything wrong. He asked carefully: "What General Zhu means..."
Zhu Zhuke sighed secretly, pointed the riding whip at Tang Yin's nose, and said angrily: "It's just that the army is not in good shape, don't you even have a big banner?"
Read the full text! This general has sharp eyes! Tang Yin nodded secretly. Everything else can be decorated, but the Great Banner cannot be made in a hurry.
The Great Banner is also called the first flag. It represents the number of an army and is also the symbol of this army. It is made with fine details. Both the flag surface and the edge of the flag must be carefully embroidered. People like Tang Yin can pretend to be Qiqin Town. The local army does not have the banner of Qiqin Town.
However, Tang Yin reacted quickly, almost without even thinking, and immediately replied: "Reporting to General Zhu, it's like this. I don't know where the big banner of this town was lost a few years ago, and now people are rushing to make it." , it’s just...it just hasn’t been done yet.”
Zhu Zhuke rolled his eyes and looked at Tang Yin, the local army of more than a thousand people, and didn't know what to reprimand them for.
The army does not look like an army, the soldiers do not look like soldiers, and there is not even a flag. When fighting, the soldiers cannot see the military flag. Do they know which direction to charge?
But then I thought about it, and Zhu Zhuke secretly said again, just right! He raised his head and said, "Don't say you are from Qiqin Town..."
Hearing this, Gu Ji trembled and quickly turned to look at Tang Yin. The latter's eyes were narrowed and he lowered his head without saying a word, but Guji was keenly aware of the murderous aura emanating from him.
He said anxiously: "Zhu... General Zhu, we are indeed coming from Qiqin Town!"
Zhu Zhuke sneered and said: "But not anymore! From now on, you will all return to your original command!" As he spoke, he waved his hand on the horse and shouted: "You will return to the team immediately!"
Leting City can send more than 5,000 reinforcements in one city, which is not a small amount. However, no one is afraid of the large number of soldiers under his command, and the same is true for Zhu Zhuke. It would be fine if he is not allowed to encounter the local army in Qiqin Town. Now that he has touched it, he will just collect it and use it for his own use. When the merits are rewarded after the war, Laoting City will also get more credit for having more than a thousand people.
At this time, Tang Yin and Gu Ji finally understood what he meant. It turned out that he did not see his own flaws, but wanted to recruit his thousands of people.
Tang Yin was secretly happy, it was God who helped me. I was worried about how to sneak into the Longding Fortress, but now it's good, with Leting Army as cover, it will be a matter of course.
Seeing that he lowered his head and did not speak, thinking that he was unwilling, Zhu Zhuke raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Tang Chu, are you unwilling to obey the general's dispatch?" While speaking, he was still pretending. He touched the sword on his waist, as if if Tang Yin refused to agree, he would draw his sword and kill someone.
Tang Yin hurriedly raised his head. There was no trace of joy on his face, only panic. He waved his hands repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Ignorant people don't dare! Ignorant people don't dare!" After speaking, he shouted to the left and right: "Didn't you hear General Zhu? If so? Return to the team!”
"Yes!" The more than a thousand soldiers of the Zhen Army also understood Tang Yin's intention. People pretended to be unwilling and reluctant, and responded feebly, and walked towards the Leting Army camp in twos and threes.
Zhu Zhuke snorted impatiently and scolded Tang Yin dissatisfiedly: "Take care of your men. If there is a problem under my command, I will ask you to explain it to me!"
"Yes, yes, yes! General, please rest assured, the villain will never cause trouble to the general!" Tang Yin nodded repeatedly.
"This is the best!" Zhu Zhuke muttered, and then he dismounted and handed the reins to the man aside: "The whole army will rest here. When the sun is not so strong in the evening, we will go to the fortress."
"Yes! General!" Tang Yin mingled among several captains and saluted with everyone.
This is because the plan did not change quickly. The speeches prepared in advance by Tang Yin and his generals were now in vain. No one expected that an unexpected branch would arise halfway, and they would encounter the local army in Leting City, let alone Tang Yin and others. All Leting troops were recruited.
Time flies by so fast, before you know it, the sun is setting, it’s almost dusk, and a cool breeze is flowing in the air. Zhu Zhuke felt that time was almost up, so he ordered all his troops to set off towards Longding Fortress.
Along the way, Laoting's army did not encounter any obstacles, and successfully arrived at Longding Fortress at the end of the day.
Hou Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the fortress, had already heard the news about the reinforcements coming from Leting Army. He stood on the wall of the fortress and looked out. Well, there were quite a lot of reinforcements in Leting City. In the dark night, the torches were like fire dragons. So far.
He ordered the city gates to be opened and let the Le Ting army enter the city. Although Zhu Zhuke showed off his power in front of Tang Yin, he was so arrogant, but in front of Hou Qiu, he was no different from a pug.
Seeing Hou Qiu coming down from the city wall from a distance, Zhu Zhuke hurriedly adjusted his armor. Then, he knelt down on one knee respectfully and said, "General Zhu Zhuke meets General Hou!"
In fact, Hou Qiu's military rank is not high, and he is not even a general without a title. But after all, he serves in the court, which is very different from the local army.
Hou Qiu gladly accepted Zhu Zhuke's respect. He took a square step and came to Zhu Zhuke. He looked at him and said slowly: "General Zhu, you have worked hard on your journey."
"Ah, General Hou's words are serious. In the end, I will go to war for the country and share your worries for you. I dare not say that it is hard." Zhu Zhuke replied cautiously.
Hou Qiu smiled, nodded, and then asked, "How many brothers will General Zhu bring to reinforce this time?" This was the question he was concerned about.
Zhu Zhuke hurriedly said: "Report to the general, there are nearly 7,000 people in total!"
Ah! There are quite a few! Another 7,000 people were added to the fortress, bringing the total strength to nearly 50,000. Even though the coalition forces claim to have millions, it is not that easy to take down the fortress that they hold on to. Hou Qiu's face showed a smile, he waved his hand towards Zhu Zhuke and said, "General Zhu has come a long way. He is tired from the journey, so he can go and rest first." After speaking, he turned to the deputy general beside him and said: "General Wu, for Zhu Ke The general and the brothers from the Leting Army should find a place to station themselves with better conditions, and don’t let them be wronged!”
"Yes! General!" Hou Qiu's lieutenant general is named Wu Chao. He is a genuine fierce general. He has high martial arts skills and is brave and good at fighting. However, he is still young, only in his early thirties, and his qualifications in the army are still relatively young.
Wu Chao led Zhu Zhuke and others into the fortress. While Tang Yin was walking along the flow of people, he was looking around. The fortress was not large, equivalent to a small city, but there were no miscellaneous buildings inside, and they were all military tents.
The military tents in some places were brightly lit, while others were completely dark. It could be seen that more than half of the military tents in the fortress were already full of people.
The station Wu Chao arranged for them was close to the heart of the fortress, and there were as many as 200 large and small tents in total.
He turned back to Zhu Zhuke and said, "General Zhu, your army will live here from now on. As for how to distribute the military tents, you can make your own arrangements!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, General Wu!" Zhu Zhuke didn't dare to say no, he nodded like garlic and thanked Wu Chao repeatedly.
After exchanging some pleasantries, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "General Wu, I would like to ask you, how many troops are there in our fortress now?"
Wu Chao said casually: "Counting the seven thousand brothers you brought, there are almost fifty thousand."
"Oh!" Zhu Zhuke agreed, but his heart was in doubt, and he muttered secretly: It turns out that there are only fifty thousand people...
Not wanting to stay longer, Wu Chao was about to leave, but suddenly, it was like a pot was exploding outside the fortress. The horns blared, the drums sounded, and the thunderous shouts of killing were faintly transmitted into the fortress.
The sudden change caused the expressions of everyone present to change. Zhu Zhuke grinned secretly. He would not be so unlucky. The enemy attacked just after arriving at Longding Fortress? He asked: "General Wu, what... is going on?"
"The enemy is most likely coming to attack the fortress!" Wu Chao's face darkened, he held a sword in his hand and his eyes shot out with terrifying light.
It is said that the attacking coalition forces number one million people. Can the small Longding Fortress with only 50,000 defenders be able to withstand the attack of so many enemy troops? Zhu Zhuke didn't have any confidence in his heart. When the words of joining the war came to his lips, he swallowed them alive again.
He stood there like a wooden stake without saying a word. He could hold him back, but Tang Yin couldn't hold him back. If he didn't join the battle, how could he get close to the city gate? If he couldn't open the city gate, it would be impossible for his own 100,000 people to attack it. There are so many garrisoned fortresses.
He took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Since the enemy has already attacked, we don't need to rest anymore. Let's kill the enemy at the top of the city!"
When Zhu Zhuke heard this, he wanted to turn around and kick Tang Yin hard, cursing in his heart: Damn, you talk too much! Just as he was about to reprimand, Wu Chao turned around, looked at Tang Yin, and asked, "Who is this brother..."
"Go back to the general, I am the captain of the army!"
There was no need to use the technique of insight. Tang Yin could not feel the existence of spiritual pressure at all. One glance could tell that he was not a spiritual cultivator. It is not an easy task for a non-spiritual practitioner to become a captain of thousands. Wu Chao couldn't help but look at him twice more, without saying anything else, he turned to Zhu Zhuke and said: "General Zhu, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Since you're in time, take your brothers and fight with me!"
"Yes! General Wu!" Wu Chao had already spoken. No matter how timid Zhu Zhuke was, he didn't dare to speak out. He could only bite the bullet and agree, while not forgetting to glare at Tang Yin.
When they returned to the fortress gate, the coalition soldiers attacking outside had already advanced to the city wall. Without the support of siege weapons, people set up ladders and rushed to the city with their flesh and blood, fighting with the defenders. The Zhenjun launched a life-and-death battle.
