Erniu rode his horse to Lv Fengxian's side: "We've been bitten..."

"Yeah." Lu Fengxian nodded.

He held the Mu Yun Sword that Shen Lang lent him and looked back slowly.

Countless figures appear and disappear in the wind and sand.

"Get back here!"

A loud shout made everyone's ears buzz.

Fortunately, there was the sandstorm to resist, otherwise I don’t know how many people would have been knocked off their horses.

"Everyone, form a swallow-shaped formation, and be connected by blood!" Lu Fengxian shouted.

Soon, the cavalry formed a formation.

Lu Fengxian threw out a spiritual stone, which exploded in the air.

For a moment, a faint bloody aura was aroused in everyone, and a strong bloody aura also emerged from Lu Fengxian's body.

This is why the commander of the army must be a cultivator. Only cultivators can use spirit stones and activate the formation diagram.

The stronger the cultivator, the more advanced the formation diagram he can use.

This formation diagram is itself a kind of magical weapon.

When there are enough people, their blood is connected and the number increases exponentially, and even those in the realm of heaven and man will suffer.

At this time, the scouts who were brought from Goose City at the beginning seemed a little out of place and could only guard on both sides of the formation.

There was no way, they had never practiced this level of military formation.

The formation diagram and magical weapon were also brought over from the Central Plains by these soldiers.

"Scouts on both wings, spread out and slow down. All cavalry, turn your horses around, the front ones become the back, the back ones become the front!"

I can only say that they are worthy of being the elite cavalry brought by Ji Wendi.

After Lu Fengxian gave the order, they all turned their horses around with their superb skills.

Although it is impossible to achieve uniformity in this sandstorm, the orders are enforced.

Click, click, click...

Seeing Lu Fengxian and his cavalry rushing towards him, the grassland general was overjoyed.

"Form a formation!" the grassland general shouted, and the cavalrymen slowly formed a formation and followed behind him, forming a long arrow that seemed to pierce the army led by Lu Fengxian.

"pistol!"

At Lu Fengxian's command, the cavalrymen all replaced their guns.

"Fire!"

bang bang bang...

Gun smoke filled the muzzle of the gun, and bullets penetrated the wind and sand and shot towards the enemy.

For a moment, six enemy soldiers were unlucky and were shot in the vitals and fell off their horses.

"Damn it..." The grassland general's pupils shrank slightly.

Damn, this Central Plains general has no martial ethics!

Okay, this is how you play, right?

In this kind of weather, using arrows would definitely be a disadvantage, as they couldn't even shoot more than a few dozen meters away, and their lethality was very low.

However, this is not a siege, but a field battle. With the support of the formation, it can also exert some power.

"Everyone..." The grassland general was about to order the cavalry to ride and shoot, but was surprised to find that the wind direction had changed. The enemy now had the wind downwind, and they were approaching too fast!

The wind direction changed, how did this guy choose the right time?

Coincidence, must be a coincidence!

If I switch to bow and arrow and launch a volley of fire, by the time I change my weapons, the enemy will have already arrived in front of me!

If you are far away from Muyun City, it is difficult to feel the change in wind direction.

However, Muyun City is the eye of the storm, and once the wind direction changes, it can be felt intuitively.

"To the flank..." The grassland general gritted his teeth and decisively led his troops to turn.

No, even though we have the advantage in numbers, the gap between tailwind and headwind is too big, so we can’t engage in a head-on confrontation.

We have to wait until the wind is favorable for us, or the situation is relatively fair before we fight.

Otherwise, if too many people die, I won’t be able to explain it, and it won’t be considered a meritorious service.

Seeing the enemy general like this, Lu Fengxian smiled.

He found that marching on the battlefield seemed similar to fighting in the past.

In the past, when the beggars from their own territory fought in a group fight, they would charge when they had an advantage and run away when they were at a disadvantage.

Or, pretend to be at a disadvantage and lure them to a terrain we are familiar with before fighting.

Or...

When we have the upper hand, we can chase and intercept them, and eventually force them into a dead end, and then we can take control of them.

Hmm, I suddenly feel like reading. Real battlefield wisdom, real methods of deployment, and those powerful military books...

My father once said that if you want to become a real big man, you still have to study. If you don’t study, you will never know anything and can only be a beggar.

Lu Fengxian knew clearly that he could lead these people now because they were powerful, not him.

Lu Fengxian had seen Shen Lang leading troops before. When there were only scouts, Shen Lang actually had a hard time leading them.

Taking care of soldiers' emotions, diet and daily life seems to be a science.

Sometimes, even if the enemy has not arrived yet, these soldiers may be afraid and even want to escape, but Shen Lang can quickly gather people's hearts again.

It's not just about leading troops. Whenever Lu Fengxian fought with those beggars in the past, he could obviously win, but when he saw that the other side had more people or was stronger, he ran away. Whenever he could have won, he would be beaten back.

It was also at that time that Lu Fengxian felt that no one else could be trusted.

However, seeing that Shen Lang was able to make those soldiers obedient and not run away, it meant that it was not that others were unreliable, but that he was not using the right method.

Although Lu Fengxian is still very young, he has already learned to look for reasons in himself, which is a rare thing.

After all, when many people encounter problems, they like to look for reasons in others.

…………

After three rounds of drinking.

"Well, brother, is there anything new today?" Shen Lang said drunkenly.

"Hey, Ashige came to my place today and helped me solve a big problem." The county magistrate shook his head and said, "These merchants come to the county government to file complaints all day long. I am so fed up with them. Really, are there so many cases to file?"

"The Wolf Lord has also issued an order that the merchants from the Great Zhou must be treated well and not be allowed to suffer any injustice."

"If they are not wronged, then won't our people be wronged?"

"Ashige took action today and punished two people directly. No one came to me to complain all day."

"Sir...something has gone wrong." Shen Lang touched his chin.

"Oh?" The county magistrate was stunned for a moment: "What's the problem?"

"My lord, when you solved the problem before, you always sided with the merchants from Da Zhou. This time you couldn't handle it, so you asked the people above to handle it?" Shen Lang stretched out his finger and pointed upwards.

"Yes, is there any problem?" The county magistrate was a little confused.

"Your Excellency can actually favor those merchants from the Great Zhou..."

"Hmm?" The magistrate narrowed his eyes.

Although he implemented the Wolf Lord's policies, when faced with problems, he still tended to side with his own people.

What's wrong with Zhebie? Does his inferior bloodline make him sympathize with the people of Zhou and stand on their side?

"From my understanding, the merchants of the Great Zhou are a very special group." Shen Lang whispered, "They like to use their privileges and collude with the government to seek their own interests."

"They report it to the police because they are used to it."

"If they report it to the police, we have to side with them?" The county magistrate frowned.

"No, no, no, there is a prerequisite for them to do this, that is, they will give money to the government!" Shen Lang slapped his thigh: "My Lord, you were so supportive of them before, did they give money to me?"

“No…” The county magistrate shook his head blankly.

"If they don't give you money, why should you side with them?" Shen Lang said indignantly, "Although this is the order of the Wolf Lord, you should also get some hard-earned money!"

"When you go out to eat at a restaurant, you have to give the waiter a few coins, but why is there nothing here for you, my Lord?"

"If they don't give money to adults, how can adults do things for them properly?"

"As an official, you can't just rely on that little salary, right?"

After Shen Lang said this, the county magistrate immediately dispelled his doubts about Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's words made him suddenly enlightened.

Yes, I was wondering why I felt bored as a county magistrate and even wanted to resign. It turned out that I didn’t find the right way to be an official!

I have tried so many cases before, but I didn't gain any benefit and attracted a lot of criticism. Wasn't it all in vain?

Those businessmen just took advantage of the fact that this was my first time as an official and refused to give me any money!

"Brother, what should I do now?" The county magistrate grabbed Shen Lang's hand tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Huh, beating up two merchants from the Great Zhou today is not a bad thing... It can also be considered a deterrent and a warning." Shen Lang whispered, "Your Excellency can hint to the merchants from the Great Zhou that if they want to side with them again, they can pay first!"

Chapter 159 People's Hearts Begin to Disperse

When the county magistrate was chatting with Shen Lang, he really felt that listening to his words was worth more than reading ten years of books.

"Brother, how should we hint this to them?" The county magistrate said, "I am afraid that the Wolf Lord will find out."

"Well, I'll go door to door at night and give hints." Shen Lang said, "This way, you can earn money from merchants and implement the Wolf Lord's policies. This is the role model for grassland officials!"

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Yes, before, I sided with the people of the Zhou Dynasty, and I was scolded by the people of the grassland, and I was not popular with the Zhou people either.

This little money now can make up for my losses and also help me to be loyal to the Wolf Lord.

This Shen Lang is simply a genius!

"So, if there are any disputes among merchants in the future, you should take charge of them..." Shen Lang showed a mysterious smile: "I think Lord Ashige might encounter some accidents because of his impulsiveness today."

"Oh? What accident?" The county magistrate was stunned.

"Although he was speaking up for the people of the grassland, in the final analysis, this went against the will of the Wolf Lord."

"I don't know how I will be dealt with, or whether I will be dealt with at all..."

"As your brother, I will not say much about what you should do at this time. It all depends on you."

Shen Lang whispered, "I will take advantage of the night to drop a note to those merchants. This way, even if we get caught, we can still get the adults out."

"Good!" The county magistrate suddenly became happy.

He didn't care about anything else. After meeting Shen Lang, he only wanted to figure out how to make money.

…………

Shen Lang wrote a lot of small notes and threw them at the merchants' homes.

After being lost a few times, it was discovered by patrolling soldiers.

"What are you doing?" asked the patrolling soldier.

"Secret order from the county magistrate." Shen Lang looked fierce, took out his assistant's seal, and also took out the official order that allowed him to act at night: "Do it for the master."

"As for what you are doing, your level has no way of knowing."

"If you want to know the details, ask your superiors to go to the county government office and ask."
