Dragon Elephant Valkyrie

Chapter 319

In the middle of the night, the lights flickered.

The messenger walked into the military aircraft festival hall and reported: "General, there is a man outside the barracks asking to see him, and he calls himself Zhu Qi."

"Ask who it is." Chi Zhongyan ordered casually.

"Don't ask, just bring him in." Qin Yu ordered instead.

The messenger hesitated for a moment, looked at Chi Zhongyan, and waited for the order.

Chi Zhongyan waved his hand and said, "Bring him in."

Not long after, the messenger brought Zhu Qi in.

Zhu Qi walked into the Military Aircraft Festival Hall, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute: "Zhu Qi has met Marquis Wu and the Major General."

Chi Zhongyan frowned and stared at Zhu Qi twice, feeling familiar, but couldn't recognize him.

"you are?"

"The villain was once General Qin's pawn." Zhu Qi replied.

Chi Zhongyan immediately remembered: "You are the young soldier leading the horse for Xuanji."

"Yes, the villain was poor back then, and he joined the army because he didn't want to starve to death. General Qin took me with him when he saw that I was young," Zhu Qi replied.

"You suddenly appeared..." Chi Zhongyan turned to look at Qin Yu in doubt.

"I asked him to come." Qin Yu answered his doubts, then looked at Zhu Qi, and asked, "How many people can we gather before dawn?"

Zhu Qi replied: "There are not many people, at most a thousand, but they are not weak."

After the Shenyan Army withdrew that year, most of the soldiers were assigned to the Akabane Army, and the remaining small number were dispersed to various places incognito.

After all, the Shenyan Army used to be the defenders of the southern border, so these old troops also managed some forces in the southern border.

Tianzhuguan was facing a crisis of breaking through, Qin Yu immediately contacted Zhu Qi and asked him to find a way to recruit people.

Originally, Qin Yu thought that it would be good for Zhu Qi to have as many as 200 people in a hurry, but he didn't expect that there were as many as 1000 people.

It's just that 1000 people are still a drop in the bucket for the imminent crisis at Tianzhu Pass.

Qin Yu knew that it was impossible to turn the situation around by relying on the people from the former Shenyan Army, so he just tried his best to guard this grand pass.

"1000 people? The number is beyond my expectation." Qin Yu said.

Zhu Qi respectfully replied: "Major General has been in the Akabane Army for more than half a year. We old people can't sit still anymore. We started to gather in the south a few months ago. The news of Major General came suddenly. If we give three In a few days, the number of people will definitely reach [-]."

Qin Yu nodded: "This time Tianzhuguan is facing the danger of breaking through, so I called you all desperately. After this battle is over, I don't know how many of you can take back, so..."

"Needless to say, the Major General, the Shroud of Horse Leather is the long-cherished wish of us old people. We were not able to follow the General back then, but now we must follow the Major General." Zhu Qi immediately raised his head and said impassionedly.

"Okay!" Qin Yu reached out and patted Zhu Qi's shoulder, then turned to look at Chi Zhongyan, waiting for his order.

"Then let them come. Let them gather in the school grounds, distribute weapons and armor, form a battalion by themselves, and let them command you." Chi Zhongyan immediately made a decision.

Zhu Qi led the order and went to gather the troops.

Three hours later, it was dawn, the darkest hour of the day.

On the field of Tianzhuguan School, the flames of the torches swayed with the wind.

The old troops of the Thousand Divine Flame Army have been assembled. These people have traces of weather and frost on their bodies, and most of them are over middle age.

Zhu Qi was in his thirties, already considered young among this group of people.

After all, almost 20 years have passed. Even though he was still a passionate youth back then, he is now middle-aged.

These people were dressed in all kinds of clothes. It was obvious that they had done a lot of work in the past ten years, but the calluses on their hands were still thick, and it was obvious that they had never put down their weapons.

At the beginning, these people behaved a little scattered, after all, it has been almost 20 years since they left the army.

But when they stood on the school field, when Qin Yu and Chi Zhongyan in armor appeared in front of them, their eyes immediately changed, becoming calm and cold, as if the dusty iron blood in their hearts had been reawakened.

Not everyone in the old branch of the Shenyan Army can retain this iron-blooded murderous aura, but those who dare to stand here have never let go of the knife in their hearts.

Qin Yu walked in front of these 1000 people, handed out a set of armor and weapons, and then said loudly: "My name is Qin Yu, I think you know my identity better than I do. Now, you are not refugees, but the Red Feather Army." A member of the Divine Flame Battalion, Zhu Qi said, your skills are not weak. So, after dawn, I will take you to kill the dog bastards of the Demon Soul Kingdom!"

"This battle is a tough one. I'll take 1000 of you there, but I don't know how many people I can bring back! The first time we meet, it's such a difficult battle. It's not what I want, but I can't escape!" Qin Yu Shouting loudly, the high-pitched voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Major General, since we are standing here, we don't think about living! Whoever you want to kill, we will kill whoever you want!" Zhu Qihong roared with eyes wide open.

"Kill! Kill!" Everyone immediately responded loudly.

"After this battle, no matter whether we live or die, our names will be engraved in the military merit book and become the glory of our descendants for a lifetime! The Divine Flame Army has the prestige of the Divine Flame only because of you!"

"Zhu Qi, you pick out ten people to be the centurion commanders. Go down with a hundred people as a team to rest and reorganize the team. After dawn, we will gather and set off!" Qin Yu ordered.

"Yes!" Zhu Qi received the order, and selected ten out of a thousand people as centurion commanders, put on their armor and went down to rest and reorganize the team with a hundred people.

……

After inspecting the 1000 people in the Shenyan Battalion, Qin Yu returned to the Military Aircraft Festival Hall.

The discipline of the 1000 people in the Shenyan Battalion is no longer as good as that of the regular army, but they can still stand on the school field after many years. They all have military bones in their hearts, and their combat effectiveness will definitely not be inferior to other soldiers.

In the military aircraft festival hall, Chi Zhongyan moved the small flag on the sand table representing the warship of the Demon Soul Kingdom to a place very close to Tianzhu Pass.

"Where did you go?" Qin Yu asked out loud.

"After breaking through seventy iron chains blocking the river, it's not far away." Chi Zhongyan replied.

The Akabane Army has no navy, but has deployed defensive measures on the Luoshui River. The iron chain blocking the river is only one of them, and there are arrow towers on the bank.

However, since the Devil Soul Nation had broken through the iron chain blocking the river, the Arrow Tower couldn't stop them either.

"I remember that most of the Demon Soul Clan's people don't understand water, if we intercept them directly on Luoshui, it should have a miraculous effect." Qin Yu suddenly suggested.

The preliminary plan before was to launch a surprise attack when the warships of the Demon Soul Kingdom landed, catching them by surprise, but this was not necessarily the best way.

"This method is not bad, but the army doesn't train sailors, so I'm afraid they won't have an advantage in fighting on the river." Chi Zhongyan thought about it.

"No, Tianzhuguan is too hot in summer. Many soldiers in the army like to jump into the river to take a bath in summer. Although they have not trained sailors, there must be many who are familiar with water. As long as 3000 people are selected to launch a surprise attack in the water, It must have a miraculous effect!" Qin Yu immediately suggested.
