In Qingshui Mingyue Pass, everyone did not boil water for food and devoted all their energy to defense preparations.
The strong people ate some dry food when they were hungry and drank some cold water when they were thirsty, in order to strengthen their defense before the Jianlu arrived.
Although Zhong Jinwei did not roll up his sleeves and go off to work together like the early leaders of a certain party in later generations, he also did not hide away and start a small stove by himself. Instead, he just took cold water and ate some dry food like everyone else.
He was accompanied by Yan Yingyuan on the top of the city, inspecting various preparations, and looking up from time to time at the top of the mountain.
At this time today, he especially felt that time was precious.
Fortunately, Jianlu never showed up. Sometimes Zhong Jinwei suspected that Jianlu was on his way in the dark, so the sentry on the top of the mountain never sent a signal; or Jianlu suddenly changed his mind and exited through another pass.
Zhong Jinwei saw that the defense arrangements on the top of the city were almost complete, so he habitually raised his head to look at the top of the mountain, and found that there was fire on the top of the mountain.
Zhong Jinwei was startled and quickly looked at it.
Yan Yingyuan, who was beside him, saw him like this and looked towards the top of the mountain.[
"Less than one, Jianlu's vanguard is coming, less than eight hundred people." Zhong Jinwei looked at it and translated the meaning of "Huo Guang".
The sentry on the top of the mountain held up the torch and signaled twice, and when he saw a response from the designated place in the pass, he extinguished the torch, and the top of the mountain turned into darkness again.
When Yan Yingyuan was about to ask Zhong Jinwei about the situation, Min Zhuang, who was responsible for receiving the signal, rushed over and reported to Zhong Jinwei: "Reporting to the Marquis, less than 800 Jianlu forwards were found on the mountain heading towards Qingshui Mingyue Pass."
This was consistent with what Zhong Jinwei saw. He nodded and said, "I understand, just keep watching."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Several people around Zhong Jinwei had heard what they were saying, and they all stopped and looked at Zhongxing Hou.
He pointed at someone casually and ordered: "Go to Magistrate Lu and ask him to come over quickly to discuss the military situation."
When they first arrived at the Arrow Tower, Lu Xiangsheng arrived with his servants.
Several people immediately gathered around a table to discuss the military situation, while Lu Xiangsheng's servants and Yu Haijing lined up on both sides, waiting for military orders.
After Lu Xiangsheng heard what Zhong Jinwei said about Jianlu, because he was not familiar with the terrain here, he turned around and asked Yu Haijing: "How long does it take for the Jianlu discovered by the sentry on the top of the mountain to reach Qingshui Mingyue Pass?"
Yu Haijing had already made some calculations in her mind, so she didn't waste time and immediately replied: "According to the estimate of traveling at night, it will take about half an hour to reach the pass."
Lu Xiangsheng nodded, thinking that there was still enough time, so he turned around and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Jiang Jun, I have an idea, but I don't know if the supervisor dares to do it?"
Listening to this, Zhong Jinwei felt that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be a bit aggressive, and he was not a young boy. His face, which had collapsed due to nervousness, couldn't help but smile, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Tell me and listen."
Yan Yingyuan also felt that Lu Xiangsheng wanted to take risks in his words. He looked at Zhong Jinwei and felt a little worried.
He himself doesn't care whether he takes risks or not. He will gain fame immediately. How can he achieve great fame without taking risks?[
But what he cares more about is Zhong Jinwei's safety. If he is asked to choose between gaining fame for himself or letting Zhong Jinwei take risks, he definitely doesn't want his brother-in-law to take risks.
Lu Xiangsheng just looked at Zhong Jinwei and naturally had no idea what Yan Yingyuan was thinking. He said to Zhong Jinwei: "We succeeded in stealing the pass. So far, Jianlu should not know that Qingshui Mingyue Pass is owned by us. And this Jianlu forward
There are less than 800 people. As long as we deal with it properly and use our minds and calculations, we can give the Jianlu vanguard a hard blow and even annihilate it."
When Lu Xiangsheng spoke, his tone was firm and powerful, full of confidence.
Zhong Jinwei's brain was not overheated. If one day someone told him that he could annihilate tens of thousands of Jianqiu at once, Zhong Jinwei might still be excited. There were only a few hundred Jianqiu, but Zhong Jinwei didn't seem to feel anything. He asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Why?
A proper way to deal with it?"
"Supervisor, this is what I think. We ambush the troops near the city gate, let the Jianlu into the city, and then attack the city from above and below at the same time. The Jianlu will be hit unexpectedly, and they will suffer heavy losses. And then by
The servants such as Xiaguan and Xiaguan will be the main force, dividing and eating the remaining Jianlu." Lu Xiangsheng said with confidence.
"Are you sure you can defeat Jianlu?" Zhong Jinwei asked with a little doubt. He did not doubt Lu Xiangsheng's martial prowess, but doubted the abilities of others.
After hearing Zhong Jinwei's question, Lu Xiangsheng smiled, turned around, pointed at the servants standing on the side and said: "The Supervisory Army, they are all deliberately selected and trained by me. Their combat power, I believe that ordinary people
Jianlu, the three of them may not be the opponent of any of them."
Listening to Lu Xiangsheng praising them in front of the supervisors, the servants all deliberately puffed out their chests.
Zhong Jinwei looked at these servants. They were indeed big men with big arms and thick waists. Not to mention their martial arts, their physical strength was obviously very impressive.
After Lu Xiangsheng introduced his servants, he continued: "With careful arithmetic, our combat power can be doubled, but the Jianlu cannot exert their full strength. And after the initial ambush, the remaining Jianlu will inevitably
Not many, so I dare say, I will be able to annihilate all these Jianlu vanguards."
"My subordinates think this plan is a bit inappropriate." Yan Yingyuan objected.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"The number of Jianlu was estimated by the sentinels on the top of the mountain through visual inspection of the number of torches. It is not accurate. If there are far more than 800 Jianlu, it would be a waste of money. It would be better to just block the Jianlu outside the city gate.
Safe." Yan Yingyuan said.
Zhong Jinwei originally thought that what Lu Xiangsheng said was reasonable. If he did this, it should be easier to defeat the Jianlu forwards.
Now after hearing what my brother-in-law said, I realized that there were indeed flaws in Lu Xiangsheng's plan. If this plan was to be implemented, the risk would be very high.
Just when Zhong Jinwei wanted to agree with his brother-in-law, Lu Xiangsheng had already considered it. He replied: "As long as the number of captives is not too different, it doesn't matter. As long as the appropriate number of captives enters the city gate, lower the Qianjin Gate.
By cutting off the internal and external connections between the Jianlu and the Jianlu, we can still encircle and annihilate the Jianlu in the city."
Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was still thinking about it, he further said: "It's rare for us to take Qingshui Mingyue Pass by surprise. If we don't use this opportunity to hit Jianlu hard, we will waste an opportunity. And we can annihilate Jianlu's forward in the first battle."
, it can at least rebuild the vanguard of the founding captives, which will be extremely helpful in boosting the morale of our army and damaging the morale of the founding captives."
Zhong Jinwei was a little moved. Lu Xiangsheng was so sure that he couldn't be wrong.
"Supervisor, this opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again!" Lu Xiangsheng reminded again.
There was not much time to waste. Zhong Jinwei no longer hesitated and agreed: "Okay, just follow what Jiutai said."
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard that he was overjoyed, he turned around and quickly assigned tasks to his servants, including who would lead how many people to ambush where, what means to attack first, and other matters, all of which were blurted out without delay. There was no need to think twice. It was obvious that he had already prepared them in advance.
Got this idea.
After Yan Yingyuan listened to Lu Xiangsheng's entire plan, he felt that Jianlu had traveled all night and his combat power had been reduced a bit. Coupled with the series of subsequent measures, it should be safer. Therefore, he did not object anymore.
However, Lu Xiangsheng obviously did not take Zhong Jinwei's safety seriously. After he dispatched all his servants, he turned back to Yan Yingyuan and said: "Liheng, you protect the supervisor and stay at the top of the city on the left. If
In case of an accident, we will protect the supervisors and withdraw from the mountain on the left."
Before Yan Yingyuan could reply, he turned to Yu Haijing and said: "You are familiar with the terrain, so don't join the battle. Follow the supervisory army, and if there is an accident, you will lead the way, avoid the Jianlu, and escort the supervisory army to a safe place.
"
Both Yan Yingyuan and Yu Haijing understood the importance of Zhong Jinwei, so they did not object.
Zhong Jinwei watched Lu Xiangsheng raise his hands and feet, and command with determination, vaguely showing the demeanor of a commander. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, no wonder Lu Xiangsheng was able to lead the Tianxiong Army and repeatedly defeated the enemy.
He did not object to Lu Xiangsheng's arrangements for him. He knew that if he insisted on staying on the front line and fighting with them, he would be in the way and make them worry and unable to fight with their hands and feet.
After Lu Xiangsheng had assigned all the things he had considered, and seeing no other suggestions from Zhong Jinwei, he stood up, stretched out his hands, twisted his arms a few times, faced Jianlu's direction, and shouted in a low voice with confidence: "
