God said the world

Chapter 777

"My lord, is Ying Mingyan confused? How could you entrust the Shenwei Army to such a person?" Following Lin Mo, the city lord of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was Lin Mo's confidant, Lin Chongshan.

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Compared with Lin Chongshan's impatience, Lin Mo seemed extremely calm, as if he was not in a hurry.

After a long time, an officer of the Shenwei Army walked to the gate of the camp and said to Lin Mo: "My lord, my general is busy with military affairs, and I really don't have time to come to see you. Please go back to the city lord's mansion first and get over this busy period." Afterwards, my general will definitely come to apologize."

Lin Mo's expression was very calm when he heard it, and he smiled at the officer and said, "So, the old man will visit again tomorrow."

"My lord, there is no need for this. My general said that your lord is busy, so you should wait for my general to come to the door in person at the city lord's mansion." Hearing that Lin Mo was coming again tomorrow, the officer immediately said.

Immediately, Lin Chongshan saw that the other party was obviously avoiding him on purpose, stood up and said, "My lord, I don't think there is any need to come here tomorrow, the majestic and mighty army is nothing more than a cowardly bandit, fortunately they often boast that they are so brave." The mighty elite of the Celestial Dynasty."

Lin Mo gave Lin Chongshan a hard look, and said to the Shenwei Army officer, "General, I hope you will forgive me, but he also lost his head in a hurry."

The officers of the Shenwei Army did not have to be as knowledgeable as Lin Chongshan, not to mention that the majestic Northern Wei City City Lord could talk to himself in such a low profile. Wouldn't it be too petty to care about his subordinates?
"My lord, I can understand this."

"Thank you very much." After thanking the Shenwei Army officer, Lin Mo turned his head and gave Lin Chongshan a hard look, and shouted, "I'm not leaving yet."

Like a child who has made a mistake, Lin Chongshan followed Lin Mo with his head down.

On the way back to the city lord's mansion, Lin Chongshan couldn't help but said: "My lord, I really don't understand. You are the largest in the Northern Wei Dynasty. You can requisition any army from the Celestial Dynasty if it passes through this place. Why do you have to treat them?" How can you be so polite?"

Lin Mo shook his head and smiled: "Do you think it's easy to recruit troops? That's a guillotine."

"But..." Lin Chongshan naturally knew what a guillotine was, and he also understood what Lin Mo meant.

The imperial court gave the city lords the power to temporarily requisition troops, not to protect the city or anything, but to see which of these city lords would be so bold as to requisition troops.

As the lord of a city, the emperor would never rest assured that there was such a person in his own land if he still supported his troops and respected himself, so such a person would only end up in a dead end.

Lin Mo is well aware of this truth, but for the sake of the country, when necessary, he will put aside the life and death of his family and recruit the Shenwei Army.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

"My lord." Lin Chongshan continued in a deep tone: "I think that He Taiji is a mediocre person at all, otherwise why would he not fight? And my lord also knows that He Taiji won his official position by gambling, how can such a person How about taking on such a heavy responsibility?"

Regarding Lin Chongshan's chatter, Lin Mo just sighed.

Remember, Ying Mingyan secretly came to see him the night before he left the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Seeing that Ying Mingyan climbed over the wall and entered the mansion to find him at night, Lin Mo knew that this old man must have something important to explain to him.

But when he saw Ying Mingyan, Lin Mo couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly write a letter to tell you how old you are?"

Ying Mingyan is less than 60 years old, but now he wants to withdraw from the Shenwei Army. Not only are the others puzzled, but even Lin Mo, who is most familiar with Ying Mingyan, is also confused.

"I'm old, now it's the world of young people. How can a bad old man like me occupy the latrine and not shit? Brother, don't you think so?" Regarding the abdication, Ying Mingyan was really happy from the bottom of his heart. The burden is too heavy.

"But man, you have been the commander of the Shenwei Army for six generations of your Ying family, and now..."

Ying Mingyan waved his hand, interrupted Lin Mo and said, "Brother, the times are different, and I am also old. Although I have been in command of the Shenwei Army for six generations, you will say that it has been six generations. It's time to hand it over to those talented young people."

Lin Mo saw that Ying Mingyan didn't have the slightest nostalgic intentions, so he didn't say much, but asked, "How about this He Taiji?"

"Brother, I'm here to tell you this." Ying Mingyan came to see Lin Mo out of old friendship, so he came to remind Lin Mo.

"Brother, the eldest prince refuses to accept the present majesty, and has just found a reason to raise troops, so you have to be on guard early."

"Brother, are you thinking too much? The Northern Wei City is far to the north, and the geographical location is not important." Lin Mo's heart still sank in response to Ying Mingyan's words.

Ying Mingyan nodded: "Normally, it is not, but brother, you have to understand why the Northern Wei City has been guarding the training group and has as many as 30 defenders? The other cities are only 20 at most."

Lin Mo didn't speak, and listened carefully to Ying Mingyan's analysis.

"Because of the remoteness of the Northern Wei Dynasty, once something happened, the imperial court could not support it in time, so it would deploy heavy troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the city defenders are no match for the elite army of the Celestial Dynasty. Therefore, if something goes wrong, you must stick to it, so that you can keep the Northern Wei Dynasty. You can go to war. You can ignore it, He Taigui will take care of it."

"Brother, what do you mean by this, the First Prince is definitely going to attack the Northern Wei City?" Lin Mo was not only surprised.

"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, brother, it's because the eldest prince wanted to attack the Northern Wei City that I resigned and returned home. Besides, I'm really old." Ying Mingyan's sentence is old, but it has another meaning. It's about him marching. The way of fighting is old.

The Ying family has a tradition of inheriting the commander of the Shenwei Army, that is, all the generals in the army must be defeated. Similarly, if the generals of the Shenwei Army have the ability to defeat the commander of the Shenwei Army, they can naturally become the new commander of the Shenwei Army.

And this defeat is the formation of troops, but it has become a "gamble" when it spreads. Over time, no one understands the true meaning of this bet, and directly considers it a gamble.

As for He Taiji not only defeated the generals of the Shenwei Army in the marching formation, but also lost Ying Mingyan.

Therefore, He Taiji is naturally the next commander of the Shenwei Army.

Regarding He Taiji, Ying Mingyan's evaluation is that "the tactics are detached, not sticking to one section, and it is enough to be promoted to the commander of the Shenwei Army."

"This He Taiji is really so powerful?"

"Not only is he powerful, but he also has a more accurate eye for timing. I also told the Shenwei Army to take action if something really happened to the Northern Wei City, even if the entire army was wiped out. He Taiji agreed to me on the spot. But he has a request."

"Request?" Lin Mo was taken aback. Could it be that he wants to ask for money and food?

"Yes, his request is very simple, that is, he must have full authority in combat, and no one is allowed to interfere. As long as you understand this, brother, you will feel at ease as a brother."

Lin Mo kept remembering these words, but seeing that his defenders were dying more and more, Lin Mo couldn't sit still, and immediately came to He Taiji for help, but came back twice without success, making Lin Mo's big I don't understand...what the hell is this He Taiji thinking?
Seeing the officer who sent the message come back, the general of the Shenwei Army asked, "Has he left?"

"It's gone, but it means that it will continue to come tomorrow."

Hearing this, a group of generals looked at He Taiji one after another, but what was among them was not a gambling table, but the sand and stone models of the Northern Wei City and its surroundings.

Seeing everyone's stares, He Taiji, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at everyone and said, "Is my face blooming? Is it that good-looking?"

All the generals smiled and turned their heads away, not looking at He Taiji.

Among them, the deputy general of the Shenwei Army who sat closest to He Taiji asked He Taiji: "Commander, I said that Lin Mo is really thick-skinned. You have been in office for so many days, and he has never seen you. He just wanted to come. It’s so close, I’m afraid you won’t even know who you are once you come in.”

"Stop talking nonsense, after watching for so many days, have you figured out a solution?" He Taiji ignored his words.

All the generals shook their heads one after another, and one of them said: "Commander, the Beifu army now has 50 men, and we only have 10 men. The chances of winning are very slim."

Everyone understands that the Beifu Army is an elite army, and the Shenwei Army is also an elite army. However, since the Beifu Army has been preparing for war for a long time and has as many as 50 people, it means that the Beifu Army has prepared everything early, and it will not please the Shenwei Army if it rushes into battle. Where to go.

"A lot of people doesn't mean you will win." He Taiji said in a neutral tone.

But He Taiji's words made the eyes of all the generals shine, and they all looked at He Taiji eagerly, hoping that He Taiji would let him attack.

He Taiji didn't pay attention to the gazes of the generals, because it's the same whether he pays attention or not.

"This time, our Shenwei Army will dispatch the entire army, so you should prepare early."

The whole army is dispatched?But when you think about it, the Shenwei army is only [-], and the Beifu army is five times as large as your own. It is reasonable for the whole army to fight, and the Beifu army is also one of the strongest troops in the Celestial Dynasty.

"General, it seems you already have a plan?"

He Taiji nodded: "However, my plan is too risky. In the past few days, everyone should think about whether there is any other way. If there is no other way, then I will make the decision."

Everyone understands that He Taiji is also cautious. You must know that if the whole army attacks, it is easy to wipe out the whole army if one is not careful.

The walls of the Northern Wei Dynasty were high and thick, and it was a big city, which was not comparable to Xiliang City.

Even if Zhang Yuesong's siege crossbow concentrated a little attack, it could not collapse or penetrate the city wall of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Zhang Yuesong was so eager to storm the Northern Wei City, as long as he only had ten days, half of it had passed by now, making Zhang Yuesong nervous.

Although it would take at least a month for the reinforcements from the Celestial Dynasty to reach the Northern Wei City, Zhang Yuesong learned a terrible news from Cao Zhuo.

Among the powerful armies of the Celestial Dynasty, the Zuodou Army and the Youdang Army were secretly operating near Beidi.

Therefore, the first ten days of attacking the city of the Northern Wei Dynasty are very critical. Once Zuoshu and Youdang cannot be attacked, they will surely hear the news and come to the rescue. At that time, the Beifu army will have to face the three powerful armies of Shenwei, Zuoshu, and Youdang No matter how many Beifu troops there are, if they are attacked by the three armies, they will be defeated.
