Chapter 60 Fighting for a big business king and ministers
South, Middle-earth, Great Shang Dynasty.
Jeju, the imperial capital of the Shang Dynasty, Baidicheng.
…
A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the imperial city seemed a little lonely. An armored general was walking under the moonlight holding the hilt of his sword. There were only two escorts accompanying him. He walked steadily to the front of the Wende Hall, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his fists.
He said in a deep voice: "Marquis Wu Yue Hao, please see your Majesty!"
An imperial guard wearing golden armor came forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already rested. How about... come back tomorrow?"
"I have urgent military situation!"
Marquis Wu said with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, "I must see Your Majesty, tonight!"
"this…"
The imperial guard looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty decrees that no one should disturb you before you go to bed. Your Majesty, how about you..."
Wu Hou immediately raised his fists again, and the sound of the fists clashing was like thunder. The voice of the eleventh-level Tianyuan realm martial artist was fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yue Hao, please see me!"
"Junhou, you..."
A group of imperial guards were extremely anxious, fearing that they would be implicated by the fiery Marquis Wu.
"His Majesty!"
Yue Hao said in a deep voice again: "The military situation in the north is extremely urgent. I would like to see your Majesty!"
At this moment, the door of the palace opened with a creak, and a middle-aged man wearing golden pajamas walked out. He was dignified, not angry and powerful, and he walked straight to the main hall with the aura of an emperor.
He went there, sat down on the snow-covered golden steps, frowned and said: "Marquis Wu, Marquis Wu, why are you not letting me sleep in the middle of the night?"
Yue Hao hurriedly clasped his fists and knelt down: "I am reckless, please forgive me!"
"alright!"
Emperor Dashang rolled his sleeves and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is it that makes you, Marquis Wu, enter the palace in such a hurry? It must not be a trivial matter, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise."
Yue Hao stood up and said: "I just received the Feiyu message from the dead soldiers in front who desperately tried to spy. Within half a month, the four northern tribes were secretly dispatching troops from the north to move south. In addition, dozens or even hundreds of
The powerful monsters, demons, and ghosts of the upper five realms have all left their lairs, and all signs have shown that the four northern tribes, led by the demons, are about to attack the snow-covered Tianchi."
"oh?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Can Chu Huaixi stop him?"
"It will definitely be unstoppable."
Yue Hao said in a deep voice: "The total strength of the Tianchi Army is less than 10,000. Even if some reinforcements from the six palace commanders are added, the strength of the Snowy Tianchi will not exceed 50,000. Once the armies of the four northern tribes press the border,
I'm afraid Tianchi Ridge won't be able to hold it for even three days."
"knew."
The emperor frowned and said, "What do Marquis Wu have in mind?"
Yue Hao slowly stepped forward, signaled all the guards to step back, respectfully clasped his fists and said: "Surprise attack!"
"Surprise attack?"
The emperor was surprised: "The absolute strength of the four northern tribes far exceeds ours. What is the difference between a surprise attack at this time and a moth flying into a flame?"
"There is a difference!"
Yue Hao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty thinks so, and the Monster Clan naturally thinks so too. According to my observations over the years, the Monster Clan army is good at attacking and plundering, but not good at defense. The Monster Clan doesn't even have a decent army.
There are no cities. Once we take the lead in a surprise attack, the effect will definitely be greater than a passive defense!"
"knew."
The emperor thought for a long time, looked up at the other party, and said, "How does Marquis Wu plan to attack by surprise?"
Yue Hao cupped his fists and said: "Deploy troops from the three northern states, 500,000 Yunzhou cavalry from Yunzhou, 200,000 Yanzhou armors from Yanzhou, and 200,000 Ningzhou armors from Ningzhou.
Assemble as quickly as possible to the south of the Fusu Great Wall, and then send troops out of ancient confusion, bypass the demon clan's forward army, go straight to the middle army, defeat the main force of the demon clan in one fell swoop, the demon clan is defeated, the demon clan, ghost clan and those charming creatures will naturally
It’s nothing to be afraid of!”
"so……"
The emperor groaned, thought for a long time again, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed with Marquis Wen!"
"His Majesty!"
Yue Hao gritted his teeth and said: "Marquis Wen and I have different opinions. They have already been at war with each other in the court. If Your Majesty discusses it with Marquis Wen, this surprise attack will become empty talk again. The reason why I only mobilized troops from the three northern states
The army is just because they want to bypass Marquis Wen, otherwise, with the addition of 200,000 Liangzhou cavalry and 200,000 Yuzhou cavalry, the demon tribe will definitely be killed by our Great Shang Dynasty!"
The emperor frowned and said nothing.
"His Majesty!"
Yue Hao immediately knelt down and said: "I am willing to use my head as a guarantee. If the surprise attack fails, I will not be alive to set foot in the territory of Dashang. The momentum of the demon tribe going south is already so clear. If we follow Wen Hou's strategy
, defending step by step will lead to death in the end. Instead of this, why not give it a try?"
He frowned and said: "Marquis Wen is a scholar, but I, Yue Hao, are not. I am a military strategist, and what I value is a surprise. If there is no surprise at this time, the human race will have no chance of defeating the monster race! Take ten thousand steps back and move the battlefield
It is better to choose the territory of the Monster Clan than to choose the battlefield in the territory of Dashang. If the war burns to Dashang, all life will be devastated, the people will be displaced, and the fortune of Dashang will definitely plummet. And if it is a surprise attack, even if I, Yue Hao, lose, Wen
Hou also has a chance to regroup!"
"Marquis Wu..."
The emperor's expression showed helplessness and sadness: "Do you really... think so?"
"yes!"
Yue Hao said in a deep voice: "The League of Lingnan has always been criticized by people all over the world. Even today, many people still point at the backbone of our great Shang monarchs and ministers, saying that we are a bunch of weaklings who only know how to make peace and have never thought of a decisive battle with the demon clan.
I am willing to use my own life to prove to the people in the world who point to us as the backbone of the Great Shang Dynasty that some people in the Great Shang Dynasty dare to fight and some are willing to fight!"
"knew."
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure. The deployment of troops, food and pay, and the attack will all be decided by Marquis Wu!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wu Hou turned around and left.
"Ai Qing..."
The emperor looked at the other person's back: "Are you leaving now?"
Wu Hou did not look back at the emperor, but slowly raised his fist and said: "When I leave, I will fight for the great merchants and the world of humanity!"
…
Snowy Tianchi.
Lin Zhao lived a prosperous life day by day. Lin Zhao practiced boxing and sword practice, and his boxing skills became more and more advanced. The silver sword mud in Yunjian Lake had been warmed by Yunjian Lake and turned into a sword embryo.
, this is Lin Zhao's first flying sword in his life. It was a gift from his second senior sister. The quality of the sword embryo is quite high. As for how high it is, he can't tell clearly.
Lin Zhao named this flying sword Mingyue, which is very appropriate.
Perhaps because of practicing swordsmanship, Lin Zhao's whole temperament has changed little by little. His eyebrows have become heroic. Only his eyes are still clear. In addition, after no longer wearing shabby clothes, his conversation has also changed.
There have been some changes, and the whole person's temperament has begun to feel a bit reborn.
With Baiweixuan here, he no longer has to go fishing. He just practices boxing at home every day, sets up a sword stake to warm up his sword spirit. When he is tired, he goes into the house, summons the bright moon, and uses the piece of Qingxin rock to refine his sword.
The clumsy-looking flying sword began to show its edge, getting sharper and sharper, and it was already quite impressive.
On this day, Lin Zhao was practicing boxing in the yard.
A gust of wind sent Huang Tingyu into the courtyard.
"Old Huang!"
Lin Zhao immediately clasped his fists.
"Not bad!"
Huang Tingyu looked at the appearance of the young warrior and smiled: "Lin Zhao, there is fighting ahead again. Commander Chu ordered me to summon you back to the camp. Can you return to the camp before dark today? Bring everything you need to bring."
"yes!"
Lin Zhao immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'll pack my things right now!"
"good."
Soon after, Lin Zhao packed his bags and left a lot of living expenses for Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er, so that they didn't have to cook together and just went to Baiweixuan to eat. The third shopkeeper still had a little face.
, so, at dusk, the young man once again carried the ancient sword and a long sword to the Tianchi military camp.
Following Lao Huang, he entered Chu Huaixi's handsome tent.
Chu Huaixi, Chen Yu, Liu Ping from Po camp, Wang Jiang from Fenwei camp, and Zhang Han from Zheji camp are all here.
"Lin Zhao."
Chu Huaixi stood up and said: "Last time, you killed a lot of enemies. Logically speaking... becoming a centurion wouldn't be a problem, but you are a new soldier and too young. I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the crowd, so...
…His Royal Highness Yu and I have decided to be promoted to a commander in the Tiebu Battalion, and this time we will go down to Beishan to carry out the mission of attacking the enemy."
"Yes, Chu Shuai!"
"Old Huang, take him there."
"yes!"
…
When he arrived at the Tiebu camp, Lin Zhao saw nine of his subordinates, including veterans and recruits. They were all familiar with each other. They all saw the scene when Lin Zhao killed a ghoul with his fist last time.
, so there was no dissatisfaction, and they all clasped their fists: "See what you are good at!"
Lin Zhao nodded: "Pack your bags and get ready to go!"
"yes!"
A total of 200 people were dispatched from the Tiebu Battalion, commanded by two centurions. Among them were four captains who commanded 50 soldiers, followed by 20 commanders including Lin Zhao.
The hierarchical system is extremely strict, but Lin Zhao has nothing to adapt to. Being born in Tianchiling means that he must fight. In this case, he has already accepted everything in his heart.
The next day, two hundred people arrived at Jiuzhangyuan.
Jiuzhangyuan is an area between the Tianchi army and the demon and demon armies. Since the last war, Jiuzhangyuan has actually been reduced to a buffer zone. Today it is occupied by the demons, and tomorrow the Tianchi army will take it back.
The day after tomorrow, it was captured by the demon tribe. The two sides went back and forth with each other, and small-scale battles continued. In this way, each proved that there was no compromise and that they had a tacit understanding with each other.
At dusk, Lin Zhao stepped into Jiuzhangyuan.
At this time, a flying knight from Chengfeng Camp galloped over and said to the centurion: "The forest in front belonged to our Dachen Dynasty last night, but it was taken back by the demon clan early this morning. Their number is not large.
There are about three hundred monster soldiers, and none of them are too highly cultivated. Commander Huang Tingyu orders you to take back this forest before nightfall today and open up the passage to the two flanking hills!"
"knew!"
…
A centurion looked back: "Brothers, follow me while it's still daylight!"
Everyone picked up their shields and swords one after another, and rushed forward together.
Lin Zhao looked at the terrain ahead. There were woods and hills, and the whole looked like a gourd mouth. Once the two hundred people from the Tiebu Battalion entered, it would probably be quite crowded. And if the demon army sent heavy troops to close the door on both sides, the Tiebu Battalion would be very crowded.
Two hundred people are in danger.
"Not quite right."
Lin Zhao frowned, stepped forward and said to the centurion: "Sir, there may be something fishy in the middle of the demon clan's defense position. I want to lead someone to insert it from the middle to help rush to both sides, is that okay?"
"Okay, go ahead!"
"yes!"
Lin Zhao raised his sword and turned over, saying to the group of people he led: "Follow me, let's go through the middle."
The young man picked up his sword and led the nine people straight to the gourd waist. If the terrain of this woodland was a chessboard, then this position would be the Tianyuan position. Rushing for reinforcements and containment would not be a problem.
