Super dictator.

After Wei Jichen returned to the camp, according to Nie Shicheng's instructions, he kept silent.

The stakes are high, and the fewer people know about it, the better.

In the name of training, Wei Jichen secretly ordered Li Yunfei to count out more than 100 sergeants who are good at riding.

The Japanese army who attacked Caohekou naturally had to be mainly cavalry and come and go quickly, so that they could succeed before the Japanese had time to react.

Fortunately, Wei Ziying itself is a horse camp, and it is not difficult to select more than 100 sergeants who are good at riding.

Although the order hasn't come down yet, Wei Jichen, who is familiar with the inside story, has seen some clues from the orderly soldiers who came and went in a hurry.

It seems that Nie Shicheng is really ready to do a big job this time.

There was a tense atmosphere in the barracks.

Many people who don't know the inside story think that since the assassination, Nie Shicheng has continuously strengthened his defenses.

In the evening of the next day, the heavy snow still didn't stop. It had been snowing for seven full days, which was exactly as Wei Jichen's speculation.

Liu Shengxiu, commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, was also completely silent. When he met Wei Jichen a few times, he always looked calm and kept silent about the betting.

It seemed as if this incident had never happened, but Wei Jichen could still see that he was not in a good mood from the gloomy eyes that flashed occasionally.

All when everyone has already passed the day like this.

Before nightfall, Nie Shicheng suddenly summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Those generals who knew the inside story took a deep breath, a little excited in their hearts. This was the first counterattack of the Chinese army. If they won, one can imagine the honor they would receive.

As for getting promoted and getting rich, that's even more out of the question.

It wasn't long before Nie Shicheng's order was issued.

In the commander's tent, all the generals gathered together, all with serious faces.

Nie Shicheng stood at the front in military uniform, and his lieutenants and staff members naturally followed behind him.

"Everyone, some people must have heard the news in advance. Yes, tonight, we are going to raid the Japanese army and retake the Caohekou and Lianshan Pass occupied by the Japanese." Nie Shicheng said calmly and steadily.

Some generals who had just heard the news looked shocked.

"This battle is of great significance. Once it succeeds, it will greatly encourage all the troops fighting against the enemy, sweep away the decline since the start of the war, and kick off the prelude to our army's counterattack." Nie Shicheng swept his eyes from everyone one by one, and then solemnly said Shi said: "Therefore, this sneak attack will be carried out by me personally leading the army."

Nie Shicheng wants to lead the attack in person?

Regarding this point, no one knew in advance, and at this time, everyone couldn't help talking about it.

Some persuaded him to stay in the position and command from the center.

Some expressed admiration and exclamation.

Nie Shicheng didn't care about the discussion of the people below, but began to give orders on his own.

"Each battalion of the cavalry selects 100 elites to form a cavalry team of about [-] people. The infantry draws three battalions of soldiers from the Yi Army to take on the task of responding, guarding, and preventing enemy reinforcements, led by Ma Jinxu and the horse commander."

"In order to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the emptiness of our Dakaolin defense line to fight back, after the old man leaves, General Lu Benyuan Lu will take over as the president temporarily. His order is the old man's order. After an hour, the old man hopes that the troops from all battalions will appear in the big camp. door."

Speaking of this, Nie Shi raised his voice abruptly, covered his face with frost, and said coldly: "Anyone who delays the military order will be punished."

The reason why Lu Benyuan took over the post of commander instead of Liu Shengxiu was because Lu Benyuan was relatively smooth and had a decent relationship with the commanders of other armies.

When the generals heard Nie Shicheng's cold words and thought of Ye Liuyun who had been shot, they couldn't help but become a little more serious.

After Nie Shicheng gave the order, the lieutenant general called the roll call. All the battalion officers who were called were the ones who led the troops with Nie Shicheng tonight.

Wei Jichen's name was impressively listed, and he was not surprised by this.

A few minutes later, the military order was issued, and all the generals left in the commander's tent in an instant, and they all hurriedly went down to select soldiers.

Wei Jichen was already prepared and was not in a hurry, but walked at the end.

Half an hour later, Wei Jichen led a team of one hundred horses to the gate of the camp first.

Nie Shicheng had already waited here with his own soldiers, which was nothing.

To Wei Jichen's surprise, there were other people who arrived before him. It seemed that they were members of the Yi Army, and the leader was also a battalion officer, in his forties.

Wei Jichen arranged the positions of his men and horses, and while there was still some time, he immediately went to say hello.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be very fast. I don't know what to call you." Wei Jichen smiled and cupped his hands.

"It made Wei Yingguan laugh. I also learned the news in advance and made preparations. I will lead Ma Yuyu in Xiayi Army's Shanzi Battalion." Ma Yuhao said kindly.

Wei Jichen didn't know him, but he knew the famous Wei Zijie.

Ma Yujiao?It turned out to be Ma Yukun's younger brother.

Wei Jichen said with a smile: "Master Ma and his brothers have contributed to the country and went to the battlefield together, which is really admirable."

Ma Yukun's bravery in battle made him an indispensable general for Song Qing's subordinates. Although Ma Yuxie was not as famous as his elder brother, his personality was not so bad.

Before Wei Jichen could say a few words, an officer behind Ma Yujiao immediately stepped forward and said softly to him, "General Ma, Commander Nie sent someone to get the wine."

It turned out that it was because of the cold weather and the sneak attack at night, so Nie Shicheng prepared some drinks for the soldiers to drink hot to warm their bones before the sneak attack.

Ma Yujiao could only bow his hands to Wei Jichen apologetically, pulled the sentry officer over and said, "Yuting, please greet Mr. Wei here, I'll come as soon as I go."

After Song Qing left, the rest of the Yi army became a unit that grandma didn't care about and uncle didn't love. They could only hug Nie Shicheng's thigh tightly. Therefore, when Ma Yujiao heard that Nie Shicheng started to distribute drinks, he naturally didn't dare to neglect and wanted to go forward Greetings.

But Wei Jichen was different, he didn't have much taboo, he could find a few soldiers to get it.

"Master Wei!" The young sentry officer did not dare to neglect Ma Yujiao's order, and stepped forward shyly to salute Wei Jichen.

"Excuse me, young man is not bad." Wei Jichen couldn't help praising him when he saw that he was very skilled at riding.

The young man smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked admiringly: "Master Wei, you know astronomy first, and geography second, can you tell my fate tonight?"

Uh, Wei Jichen didn't expect him to ask such a question.

I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Death is more important than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather. The Japanese are trying to enslave our people and destroy China. Tonight, we are upholding the unyielding cry of thousands of people. What is death?" Fear? I wonder if you are satisfied with my answer?"

The young man said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your teaching. Even if I, Zhang Zuolin, die in battle tonight, I will not be afraid."

Zhang Zuolin?

Wei Jichen paused suddenly when he heard this name, could it be the King of the Northeast who will shake the Northeast from now on?It seems that the Northeast King really served as a soldier in the Yi Army when he was young, and participated in the Sino-Japanese War.

Wei Jichen asked tentatively, "Are you from Fengtian Haicheng?"

Zhang Zuolin nodded in surprise.

Only then did Wei Jichen confirm for sure that it would not be such a coincidence that two Haicheng people named Zhang Zuolin served as soldiers in the Yi Army and participated in the Sino-Japanese War.

"It sounds a bit like your accent." Wei Jichen explained a bit, and continued: "Young man, on the battlefield, only by preserving yourself can you kill more enemies. How can you say death so easily? What's more, this time there is Nie Shuai leads the team himself, and the Japanese are arrogant and defenseless, and great military exploits are waiting for us ahead. Look, the Japanese will be defeated today."

Zhang Zuolin looked in surprise at Wei Jichen, who seemed to be a different person. Just a moment ago, he was still a modest gentleman, but at this moment, he became a confident veteran in the battlefield.

Seeing that there were more and more troops in the field, Wei Jichen didn't have time to chat with Zhang Zuolin, but pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards his own army. Before leaving, Wei Jichen gave Zhang Zuolin a meaningful look, and said lightly : "Young man, I am optimistic about you, live on, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

The 19-year-old Zhang Zuolin said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your attention. Yuting no longer talks about life and death lightly."

Wei Jichen rode his horse to the front of his army, quietly looking at the high platform in front of him.

At some point, more than 1000 war horses stood neatly at the gate of the camp. Except for the generals walking around on horseback, the sergeants stood there immediately, motionless, like statues.

The audience was solemn and solemn, only the deep voices of the horses. These sergeants were all elites selected from each battalion, and with so many troops mixed together, they all had a heart of comparison with each other, and naturally they all obeyed orders.

On the high platform, Nie Shicheng picked up a jug of wine at some point, he slapped open the seal, and hugged it between his left arms.

"Soldiers, you are all the elite of our Huai army. To attack the enemy tonight, maybe some of you will not come back, maybe some of you have old mothers waiting to go back to take care of them. However, where is the country? Once the Japanese break through our army's defense line and enter our land of China, how many families will be ruined, how many people will die in the chaos of war, maybe there are your relatives and parents among them, so we have no hesitation and no regrets. There is no way out. Come on, all the soldiers, let’s have a toast. Even on the road to Huangquan, there are people to accompany us. In this battle, let the Japanese understand that our sons and daughters of China cannot be humiliated, and our land of China cannot allow them to be rampant. In this battle, we must Win!"

After Nie Shicheng finished speaking slowly, he raised the wine jar, opened his mouth, and gulped straight down.

"We must win! We must win!" More than 1000 cavalrymen raised their bowls at the same time and drank them all in one gulp.

The imposing shouts made Wei Jichen's blood boil, and he couldn't help joining in, as if he wanted to vent the anger that the Chinese army had been suppressed and beaten by the Japanese army for many days tonight.

"Let's go!" Nie Shicheng raised his horsewhip, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and shouted loudly.

More than 1000 cavalry began to move slowly and orderly.
