Horse on the World

Chapter 713 Willing to die with the city

"That's right!" Long Xiaotian said proudly, "The whole prefecture was devastated by Liao Bin's thieves. After we came, we did our best to save the dying and restore the people's livelihood, and let the common people see our intentions. The autumn harvest is coming soon. The harvest is imminent, and the lives of the people are about to get better. Liao Bin's traitor is coming again. Right away, we'll have 5 people, maybe more, and those people will be in your hands."

Xu Kexing bitterly said, "Well, these are ordinary people who have never undergone military training. Some people may have never even killed a chicken. Let them go to the battlefield, isn't it to send them to death?"

Long Xiaotian waved his hand, "General Xu, my lord once said that we should give full play to the subjective initiative of the common people, and believe that the power of the people is great. If one is united, gold and stone are forged. We use the ocean of people's war to submerge these abominable people. enemy."

Xu Kexing looked at the high-spirited Long Xiaotian, and knew that this adult scholar's habit had broken out again.Even if there are [-] sheep, one can imagine what will happen when facing [-] tigers.

Long Xiaotian's high-spirited spirit caused all the young men present to burst into loud cheers, "Kill all the enemies, defend our whole state!" The slogan sounded around them first, and then slowly spread, until finally , the entire Zunhua City, killing all enemies in all directions, the slogan of defending our whole state, even Xu Kexing's head full of lawsuits, was also infected with enthusiasm. As for the soldiers under him, their blood was already boiling. Go in the shouting ranks.And County Magistrate Qian Duoqian burst into tears, probably the first time in his life that he saw such a scene of unity.

Smiling, Long Xiaotian took Xu Kexing's hand and walked into the tower. As soon as the gate was closed, the excited Long Xiaotian calmed down slowly, and looked at Xu Kexing with a more serious expression.

"General Xu, I know what you want to say, I don't need to say it, I know it all!" Long Xiaotian raised his hand and waved it.

"But right now, what can we do? Behind us are millions of people in the whole state. They are the grains that are about to be harvested in the fields. That is the lifeblood of the whole state! Putting these aside, The lord is still fighting bloody battles in Qinzhou. Once Zhang Aimin from Minzhou occupies the whole state, Dingzhou will be divided into two unconnected regions. Once the whole state is lost, the Luoyang army will swarm in. We Then you will be passive." Long Xiaotian sighed.

Xu Kexing sat down dejectedly, "My lord, why didn't you expect Minzhou to come out like this? General Wang Qinian's soldiers and horses were absolutely immovable back then?"

Long Xiaotian shook his head, "No one would have thought of this. Zhang Aimin in Minzhou had his spine completely broken in the last battle, and less than 2 people escaped under his leadership. How could he escape in such a short period of time?" Gathering such a large-scale army in such a short period of time? Shang Haibo’s rebellion is truly unforgettable. The Battle of Qinling has been planned for a long time. Even if it is an adventure, the Lord must take it. Come back. Everything will be all right."

"But it's too risky!" Xu Kexing said.

"Dingding the world is a big gamble!" Long Xiaotian smiled, "Presumably by now, the Changsheng Battalion stationed in Dingzhou and the Whirlwind Battalion are also coming day and night. Can we stick to that moment, General Xu? , it's up to you."

Xu Kexing stood up eagerly, "Lord Long, don't worry, even if Xu Kexing sheds the last drop of blood, he will try his best to keep Zunhua intact. Qingyang doesn't have a complete fortification, there is not enough manpower, and Xu can make the opponent unable to do anything, Right now in Zunhua, Master Long has built a complete defense facility for the young generals, those young and strong... Although those young and strong have not been trained, let the war make them mature quickly!"

"Okay!" Long Xiaotian applauded: "General Xu, if you fight, I will do logistics for you. When you go into battle, I will beat drums for you at the top of the city. Let us live and die together with Zunhua!"

"Live and die with Zunhua!" Xu Kexing stretched out his big hand, and clasped his palms tightly.

Pulling away Zunhua's defense map, Xu Kexing slid his thick fingers on the map, "Master Long, how many trebuchets do we have?"

"There are twenty catapult dishes produced in Dingzhou!"

"Ah?" Xu Kexing raised his head in surprise.

"I'm sorry, these are all the trebuchets I can collect, but the stone bombs are enough!" Long Xiaotian smiled wryly, "Not enough, I asked young and strong carpenters to make a lot of simple trebuchets."

"Forget it, talking is better than nothing!" Xu Kexing said helplessly: "Fortunately, I brought back ten sets from Qingyang, and they only need to be assembled before they can be used. What about the eight-ox crossbow?"

"Thirty units!" As expected, Xu Kexing was once again disappointed by Long Xiaotian's answer. "Are the crossbow arrows enough?"

"Not enough! But we have made a lot of iron gun heads, which can be fired with wooden poles, but the range will definitely be affected."

"What about bows and arrows?"

"There are quite a few bows and arrows, but most of them are hunting bows. There are less than a thousand first-grade bows!" Long Xiaotian said again.

"The arrows must not be enough."

"Ok!"

Xu Kexing rubbed his nose and scratched his head, it was really important or not.

"Then we can only make as many throwing guns as possible. If we don't have enough iron spearheads, we can cut wood into guns!" Xu Kexing said.

Putting away the map, Xu Kexing said: "The defense area built by Lord Long is too large. If we have [-] elite soldiers in our hands, it would be just right. But right now, there are only these strong people, the area is too large, and the defense is scattered. The possibility of the opponent being defeated in one blow is too great, we must shrink the defense and reduce the defensive area as small as possible, given our predicament, we can only rely on more people to make up for the shortage!"

"In terms of military affairs, General Xu, you have the final say!" Long Xiaotian spread his hands and said, "I don't understand war."

"Reducing the defensive area, we can rely on the city wall to fight, so that the enemy will pay a higher price when attacking positions outside the city, because the city can provide timely support!" Xu Kexing explained: "Our purpose of this battle is not to win, but to To delay, to delay as long as possible. The longer we delay, the more likely we will be victorious."

Long Xiaotian nodded excitedly, "That's the truth!"

Although he doesn't have any confidence in his heart, Xu Kexing can only bite the bullet and go into battle at the moment. When he thinks that the whole of Quanzhou is now carried on his back by his little general, he can't help but stand on end, but there is also a faint sense of pride. This time he can successfully complete the task, and Xu Kexing's name will also become famous along with this battle.

"Tian Chong!"

"The end is here!" Tian Chong jumped out.

"Immediately, the Ministry of Human Resources will draw out some officers and veterans and distribute them among the young and strong. Hurry up and let these rookies know how to avoid arrows and how to avoid unnecessary casualties."

"General Xu, isn't this cramming? How effective will it be?"

"Grind your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy, there is always something useful, get out and do something!"

"Yes!"

"County Qian!"

"I'm here!" Qian Duo bowed his hands to Xu Kexing, "What orders does General Xu have?"

"In view of the current situation of our department, after the nearly 2000 people we brought back from Qingyang are taken away, there will be more than a thousand people. I ask you to lead this army. If there is a danger there, you should appear there. Can you destroy the enemy?" Xu Kexing asked.

Qian Duo shuddered, "General Xu, I'm a lowly martial artist. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the general's mission?"

"Fuck your mother's shit, Fatty Qian, if you still want to go back to Qingyang to find those little beauties of yours, then you will do your best to keep Zunhua and guard Luo, otherwise, you will have to fight against a few big beauties in the future." Cuckold wander the world!"

Qian Duo's eyes turned red immediately, "I'm under orders, I will beat out all the egg yolks of that son of a bitch Liao Bin."

Xu Kexing laughed loudly, "That's right!"

Standing up, he bowed deeply to Long Xiaotian, "Master Long, I have one more thing to ask."

Long Xiaotian said: "General Xu just say it!"

"Once the battle starts, these young and strong men may panic and retreat. I want to ask Lord Long to organize a law enforcement team. Anyone who retreats without orders will be killed!" Xu Kexing said awe-inspiringly: "We can't improve their strength. Combat strength cannot give them the experience of killing the enemy, so we can only give them the determination to fight to the death and the courage to die with the enemy!"

Long Xiaotian shook his body, "Okay, after I go down, I will immediately call the leaders of the townships from all over the country, and gather all the respected and respected people among them as law enforcement members. I would rather die in this land of Zunhua than Don't take half a step back."

After making some adjustments in Qingyang, the army commanded by Liao Bin appeared in the sight of everyone three days after Xu Kexing arrived in Zunhua.The vanguard cavalry came roaring, splashing dust all over the sky, the shocking sound of war drums and loud war songs slowly approaching, and farther away, the infantry group lined up a strict army formation, stepping forward, their iron helmets reflected in the sun With the dazzling light, it moved forward like an iron wall.

Above Zunhua's outskirts, the young men in charge of the defense stirred up gently, their eyes showing anxiety and fear. The original blood courage began to dissipate under the heavy pressure like a mountain. Many people fought Fighting, almost want to stand still.

Qian Duo was wearing his armor, and he was at the forefront with Tian Chong, "Fortunately, General Xu let us fight this first battle, otherwise these guys might run away as soon as the fight starts."

Qian Duo nodded repeatedly, "General Xu is very wise."

Tian Chong looked at Qian Duo with a smile, "Old Qian, why are you so courageous all of a sudden? Are those beauties really so charming?"

"Bullshit!" Qian Duoyi said solemnly, "I have a heart for my lord, and I'm willing to go through fire and water for my lord, and I'm willing to die, that's as low as you say!"

Tian Chong looked at Qian Duo with a solemn face, and couldn't help laughing heartily. The two of them made jokes, and didn't pay attention to the upcoming fierce battle at all, which made some young adults around them relax a lot.

"Hey, counselor, I think you're very scared? What's there to be afraid of? Why don't they put two arms on one head and stick a gun in it, and still bleed!" Qian Duo patted a young man beside him, joked.

"My lord, I'm not a coward." The young man puffed out his chest angrily.

"It's not a coward, why are your legs trembling?"

"I'm not trembling, I just want to pee!" The young man blushed.

There was another burst of laughter around, and Tian Chong said with emotion: "Seeing them, I remembered that when I followed General Xu to kill the enemy for the first time, it was also a two-way battle. I want to pee!"
