The Seventh Immortal Emperor looked at the thunder blade and was thinking deeply in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Since you have no actual combat experience, let's do it like this. Su Chenglong, I order you to be the main generals, Lei Ren and Chen Chao, and the two of you are deputy generals to assist General Su. Tomorrow the troops will go to Nanzhou to support Liehuo
city."
This was the commanding tone of the Seventh Immortal Emperor. Behind Lei Ren, two people stood up and could only bow and obey the order.
Lei Ren didn't know Su Chenglong or Chen Chao very well. He saw that both of them were middle-aged. The man named "Su Chenglong" looked extremely mature, and there was a sinister and cunning look between his eyebrows. Lei Ren
The first time Ren saw him, he thought of the Seventh Immortal Emperor Xuanwen. This man seemed to be on par with the Seventh Immortal Emperor.
Behind Su Chenglong, Chen Chao has a Chinese character face and a serious expression. Compared with Su Chenglong, he looks a bit ordinary. Lei Ren can't tell what kind of character this man is because he is too ordinary.
, no special features at all.
A court meeting set the tone for the expedition. After the morning court meeting, the Seventh Immortal Emperor left Su Chenglong, Lei Ren and Chen Chao alone.
The Seventh Immortal Emperor clarified the status of the three people. Su Chenglong is the coach, Lei Ren is the right general, and Chen Chao is the left general.
The right one has a higher level than the left one, which means Thunder Blade is the number two figure in the rescue force.
After the instructions, the Seventh Immortal Emperor asked Lei Ren to go to Fanghua Hall to meet Ye Qingshuang for a meal, and then returned to Lei Mansion to prepare for the expedition.
Little did Lei Ren know that starting from this expedition, his life would open a new and magnificent chapter!
…
Returning to Lei Mansion, Lei Ren learned from Qing'er that Su Chenglong was an aristocratic general. He was arrogant, especially arrogant, and did not take civilian generals seriously.
Chen Chao, on the other hand, was one of only three civilian generals in the court, including Lei Ren.
This person had just been promoted to general not long ago, had no actual combat experience, and his cultivation level was at the level of a small immortal. His specific conduct as a person could only be considered mediocre.
After understanding this, Lei Ren was most worried about Su Chenglong.
This guy Yelang is arrogant. I am afraid that neither he nor Chen Chao may get along with Su Chenglong.
That night, when he went to inspect the troops at the campus outside the palace, Lei Ren unexpectedly saw Ni Qiang and was immediately delighted.
He was still thinking that there were no acquaintances in the army of 20,000 people, but he did not expect to meet Ni Qiang, and Ni Qiang was a commander with a thousand men in this rescue army.
The 20,000-strong force was temporarily formed by the White Dragon Legion, local legions and city guards. Lei Ren was not sure of its combat effectiveness.
Among them, there are 10,000 people in the White Dragon Army, 9,000 in the local army, and 1,000 in the city guard. In terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that the city guard's combat effectiveness ranks first. After all, it is an army that defends the city of Xiandu. If you are not an elite, you will definitely not be able to do it.
.
However, the City Guards lacked actual combat experience, which was also its major shortcoming.
Early the next morning, an army of 20,000 people broke out from outside Xiandu City and headed for Nanzhou Liehuo City.
The wars in the world of cultivation are not much different from the ancient wars imagined by Lei Ren. However, the arms in the world of cultivation are slightly more complicated than those in ancient wars.
Among the troops in the world of cultivation, there are no cavalry, but some are beast soldiers.
Beast soldiers, as the name suggests, are soldiers who ride ferocious monsters into battle. This is almost the same as cavalry. However, the mounts are replaced by monsters with attack power, which is naturally more than ten times more powerful than ordinary surprise soldiers.
Within the army of 20,000 people, there are 500 beast soldiers. This is the core of the army and the most powerful attack power. Therefore, each army does not have many beast soldiers, but they are all regarded as treasures.
An army of 20,000 people, plus animal soldiers, and supplies of food and supplies, actually traveled less than eighty miles in one day, which surprised Lei Ren.
You know, regardless of whether they are soldiers or beast soldiers, they are all cultivators with true energy, and they can move much faster than ordinary people. When Lei Ren led his mercenaries on a mission in Africa, they could travel a hundred times a day.
Here, easily.
After such a comparison, Lei Ren couldn't sit still. After all, they were going to rescue, and they were traveling so slowly. They might not wait until they felt that Nanzhou Liehuo City had been captured or surrendered.
Therefore, Lei Ren found Su Chenglong who was leisurely and leisurely, and said: "General Su, our marching speed is probably too slow. We are a rescue army, and our troops are very fast. I think we should divide them into two groups.
One group will move forward lightly, first to rescue Agni City and give Agni City confidence, and the other group will bring the baggage and food to rendezvous, so that everything is right. If we are too slow, there may be changes in Agni City!
"
Thunder Blade's suggestion is naturally quite pertinent.
However, after hearing Lei Ren's words, Su Chenglong just turned his head and glanced at Lei Ren, and said coldly: "Humph, this army, are you the commander or am I the commander? Do you have experience or do I have experience?"
Su Chenglong didn't even look at Thunder Blade, and looked aloof: "I studied warfare at the Royal Academy of the Fairy Dynasty when I was twelve years old. I studied under the former Military Marshal Zheng Long. So far, I have experienced it eighteen times.
battle, invincible, invincible
.Hmph, Thunder Blade, it’s your turn to teach me a lesson? How could civilians like you have the chance to go on an expedition with me if you weren’t lucky? We went on an expedition together and waited to win. All decisions are made by me.
I’ve made up my mind, just follow my orders, there’s no need to say anything!”
After hearing the words, Lei Ren clenched his fists immediately. Damn, I have seen people showing off, but I have never seen anyone showing off like this!
Su Chenglong's implication is that this army belongs to him. Lei Ren and Chen Chao can only follow his orders and cannot even make suggestions!
"Why, are you dissatisfied with me, General?"
Seeing Lei Ren glaring at Su Chenglong, Su Chenglong said coldly to Lei Ren, "If you are dissatisfied with this general, you are dissatisfied with His Majesty! Hum, His Majesty's eyes can tell at a glance that this General's strength is far from the best.
Above you, that’s why I have appointed this general as the chief general. This is His Majesty’s order. Do you dare to disobey it?”
Before Lei Ren could speak, Su Chenglong proudly explained to Lei Ren: "It seems that you are confused. Well, I will tell you the disadvantages of your suggestion. First, we only have 20,000 people.
Dividing into two groups will give the enemy a chance to defeat each other. Their number is five times ours! Second, if we divide into two groups, one in front of the other, if the enemy bypasses our retreat and burns our food and grass, how will you deal with it? That is
Do you understand that we were defeated miserably before we even entered the battlefield?!"
Listening to Su Chenglong's explanation, Lei Ren could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he's just talking on paper!
Su Chenglong's analysis sounds reasonable at first glance, but the key point is that now we are in Beizhou, in our own territory, where can there be an enemy ambush?
