Text Chapter 358: The First Dissatisfaction

"Xiaotang." Lin Muyu stepped in.

"Brother Ah Yu." Jin Xiaotang was overjoyed, turned around and threw himself into Lin Muyu's arms, coquettishly like a younger sister: "You said that you would eat beef noodles with me this time when you came back, hmph, until now Once fulfilled, we will go out again.”

"Busy..." Lin Muyu smiled lightly, "How is the business of the chamber of commerce?"

"Everything is fine, by the way, there must be something I need to help you with."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded and said: "This time I have 50,000 people under my command, and there is a serious shortage of arrows, so you need to help me rush out and cast a large number of arrows. Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Jin Xiaotang blinked, and said with a triumphant smile, "Our Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce currently has ten ironware shops, and if we stop working within three days and only make arrow clusters, we should be able to give you around 200,000 yuan." of arrows."

"Very good."

Lin Muyu smiled happily: "Also, there are other weapons that are needed. In short...the funds from the entire chamber of commerce will be used to supply the iron shop recently. Besides, is the rice shop open?"

"It's been open a long time ago. Could it be that Brother Ah Yu still needs Xiaotang to prepare food and grass for you."

"Well, it's best to be prepared, I'm worried..."

Jin Xiaotang Bingxue was smart, and said with a smile: "I know, my brother has always been disliked in the government and the public, and I can only rely on myself for many things, but you can rest assured now, you still have me, and there is nothing to do except hiring manpower. What, Lanyan City has a lot of people, don't worry, I have everything."

"Um."

...

In the evening, Lin Muyu invited two beauties, Jin Xiaotang and Chu Yao, to have a meal together. It was a get-together before the expedition. Although Chu Yao, the deacon of the elixir department, was responsible for the medicines needed for the war, after all, the Daojiang defense line was hundreds of miles away. , it is not so easy to see her, and once the real demons cross the river to fight, Lin Muyu will be very busy.

The next day, the army set off.

In the early morning, the fog lingered in the jungle. Lin Muyu rode on the snow and slowly followed the army of the Fourth Army. At the same time, he also appointed five ten thousand commanders, namely Wei Qiu, Qin Yan, Fengxi Tang Ren, Tang Ren, and Zhang Feng are five people. Tang Ren is Tang Zhen's cousin, and Zhang Feng is a new recruit in Muyu City. He is upright.

Qin Yan hung the Fire Snake Spear on the horse's back, unfolded a map, looked at it again and again, and said, "According to our marching speed, it will take at least half a month to reach Fenglin Ferry, big brother, is it too late. "

Lin Muyu nodded: "It's indeed a little late, but our 4th Legion has 50,000 people, and nearly 40,000 of them are heavy cavalry. It doesn't matter. If there is a war at Fenglin Ferry, we can rush over at any time , don’t worry now, the imperial navy arrived at the Daojiang River a day ago, and the demons would not be able to cross the river without them.”

"yes."

Lin Muyu looked around again. There were people from the Fourth Legion within a few miles, and he was the supreme commander of this army. He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. He didn't have much military power in his hands during the Battle of Winterfrost City. This time I am in charge of power, it is time to deal with the demons, and at least let the demons see how powerful the human army is.

...

Nine days later, the army passed through Wugu City.

On both sides of the official road, there were countless people from Wugu City lining the road to see them off. Qin Yan, Wei Qiu and others couldn't help laughing. Who said that the imperial army was unpopular, but when the imperial army went to the front line, they were so loved by the people. For a while, The people on the side of the road brought water, sweet potatoes, dry food, eggs and so on to the soldiers.

Lin Muyu felt his scalp tingling, and immediately had a sense of seeing the Red Army going out. In fact, the people are the most real. If you charge for the people, the people will naturally support you. If you charge for your own status, what are you doing with the people? Dry.

In addition to the common people, there was also a group of soldiers from Wugu City, who escorted food, grass and weapons here to replenish the troops passing by.

A man from a distance rode his horse and said, "Where is Commander Lin of the Fourth Legion?"

Lin Muyu rode out quickly and said, "I'm here, who are you?"

Wearing the rank of Commander Wan, he cupped his fists respectfully and said, "My subordinate Zhang Bao, the garrison general of Wugu City, is here waiting for the Fourth Army. We have been waiting here since last night. Here, Commander, look, these are all grains." The supplies prepared by the city for the Fourth Army include 2,000 steel swords, 10,000 spears, 5,000 shields, 40,000 arrows, and 2,000 carts of grain and grass. I hope the commander will not be too little, and the Wugu City can only provide so much gone."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Muyu gave him a very standard imperial military salute, with a handsome demeanor, wearing a commander's armor, wearing a sword, and a snow-riding horse under his crotch, causing a group of girls from Wugu City to run over, one by one. His face was full of nympho.

"Wow, that commander is so handsome."

"Who is he?"

"It seems to be one of the four masters of Lanyan conferred by the late emperor."

"That's right, this is the Fourth Legion, and he is Lin Muyu, who ranks second among the Lanyan Four Heroes, and he is even more handsome than Commander Feng Jixing."

...

Lin Muyu couldn't laugh or cry, wondering if Feng Jixing would run away after hearing this.

As a result, the crowding and praise of the girls also caused a lot of complaints, especially those defenders of Wugu City. They could have gone to the front line to fight the demons, but the empress didn't call them, so they could only be responsible. Grain delivery.

"Why can only the army of the imperial capital go to the front line?"

"Do we people in the Grain City deserve to deal with grains and straw all day long?"

"Yes, why are they the only ones who can fight the demons, why can't we."

"That is, they don't have one more eye or one more leg than me. Why, I, Zhao Ritian, are the first to refuse."

Wei Qiu immediately rushed forward with his saber in hand, raised his eyes and shouted: "What are you arguing about, do you think fighting the demons is a joke, if you really went to the front line, maybe you would have been scared to pee a long time ago. "

Among the crowd, the man named "Zhao Ritian" wearing the rank of centurion saw Wei Chou approaching and took several steps back. Wei Chou pointed his sword and said, "Zhao Ritian, be careful and restrain yourself." Tell your subordinates, if you continue to make noise here, don't blame me, Wei Chou, for being ruthless under the sword."

Zhao Ritian hurriedly clasped his fists respectfully and said, "My lord, calm down, you will know your mistake in the end."

He hurriedly turned around, and shouted to a group of subordinates: "Shut up, don't talk anymore, just take it as a face for Zhao Ritian."

Everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Muyu didn't stop, and continued to carry the pear blossom gun and walked slowly along with the army. At the same time, he sent a cavalry team to take away all the supplies sent by Wugu City. These are good things in war. Lin Muyu passed through Dongshuang After the nightmare-like brutal war in the city, I have already realized how important supplies are. "The army is based on food." This sentence in Zhuge Liang's "Twenty-Four Art of War" is simply the truth for the army.

...

At this moment, someone in the crowd in Wugu City suddenly shouted: "Master Lin Zhi, Master Lin Zhi."

"Um."

Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, the voice was so familiar, and there seemed to be few people who knew his real name. Who was it? He hurriedly turned around, and saw a man with the rank of centurion pushing through the crowd and walking towards him. Qin Ziling, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was once the Bronze Star accompanying trainer in the temple, why is he here now.

With joy in his heart, Lin Muyu hurriedly got off his horse and walked forward, hugged Qin Ziling suddenly, laughed loudly and said, "Ziling, after you disappeared from the temple, I thought you died in battle, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Qin Ziling was also overjoyed: "After the Battle of Lanyan City, the temple was breached, several of the temple's accompanying training brothers and I were chased and killed by the Yihe army, and we were exiled among the refugees. Finally, we came to Wugu City, feeling ashamed Back to the temple, so I joined the army in Wugu City, Lord Lin Zhi, you are now the commander of an army."

Lin Muyu smiled awkwardly: "Yes."

"Are you going to a tributary of the Daojiang River?" Qin Ziling asked.

"Um."

A trace of longing flashed across Qin Ziling's eyes, and he said, "You must be careful. I heard that all the demons are extremely cruel and powerful. The 100,000 troops of Lord Min Yulin were buried in Winter Frost City. To be honest... We are all afraid, fearing that if the Daojiang River cannot be defended, the Wugu City may become a dead city again."

Lin Muyu's eyes were burning, and he said with a smile: "It's not just Wugu City. If the demons really win, the entire human race will be extinct. Speaking of Ziling, don't you want to go out with me?"

"I... I naturally thought about it, but now I am a soldier of the Wugu City military system..."

"It doesn't matter, whose subordinate you belong to."

"Master Zhang Bao."

"Oh, it's him. It's okay. I'll write a letter and have it delivered to him. You can go directly to my Fourth Army."

"Okay." Qin Ziling was very excited.

Lin Muyu immediately wrote a short letter and asked someone to pass it on to Zhang Bao. The general meaning was very clear and powerful. In fact, Qin Ziling's cultivation level was very low, and he was not much better than ordinary soldiers. Presumably Zhang Bao would not refuse to send someone.

After entering the establishment of the Fourth Army, Lin Muyu still let Qin Ziling be the centurion. After getting acquainted with Qin Yan, Wei Chou, Feng Xi and others, they quickly got along with each other.

...

Five days later, they arrived at the defensive location, Fenglin Ferry.

Originally it was just a simple ferry, but now a camp has been built, and the city has already been built before the arrival of the Fourth Army. The city is less than 100 meters away from the Daojiang River, and the height of the city wall is about 20 meters. It is about ten meters high, but it is still far from enough.

At this time, the ferry just happened to be the berth of the Imperial Navy. A total of 20 warships were neatly lined up on the shore. He also quickly disembarked from the warship, and a bearded general wearing the rank of Commander-in-Chief clasped his fists respectfully and said, "The last general, Situ Lie, has been waiting for Commander Lin here for a long time under the order of Commander Bailicang."

Lin Muyu smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Situ Lie, and said: "You are too polite, the general, there may be some changes on the opposite side these days."

"have."

Situ Lie said in a deep voice: "The demon army has camped on the other side. According to my observation, they have at least 10,000 horses on the other side, most of them are the legendary 'cockroaches'."

"An armored demon?"

"yes."

"Understood." Lin Muyu looked at Wei Chou on the side, and said: "Send people to camp along the coast, one camp every 10 miles, five camps in the north and south, and send light cavalry to scout back and forth to observe the movements of the demons at any time."

"Yes, Commander."
