The North Camp of Tule was a sea of fire, with military tents burned everywhere.
A messenger came on horseback from outside. When he arrived in front of Su Lu, he was stopped by the guards. The messenger got off his horse and said loudly:
"Sir, the camp order orders you to maintain the status quo and not to advance any more troops. If we are defeated, today's results will be lost."
Su Lu glanced at the panting messenger and asked the generals and captains around him: "I didn't hear what he just said. Did you hear it?"
"Speak, did anyone speak just now? No one here dares to speak without the command of the Governor. I heard nothing from the Governor."
Li Xiaoqin said doggedly, with a proud smile on his face. Qingying is really a bunch of rubbish. The situation is great now. Why don't we pursue the victory and wait for the Thule people to counterattack?
Li Kun smiled, waved the steel knife in his hand, and said in a vicious tone:
"Who dares to speak without the governor's order? I didn't hear anyone speak. This messenger, did you speak just now?"
The bloody steel knife in Li Kun's hand swung back and forth in front of the messenger.
The ordering soldier was struck by the evil aura from Li Kun and instantly became frightened. He closed his eyes in fear and said, "I, I didn't find Governor Su, and I couldn't convey the order."
Dong Cheng came over and grabbed Li Kun, and cursed angrily: "You can't use the knife on Pao Ze, what do you want to do, Li Kun!"
Li Kun glanced sideways at Dong Cheng and snorted coldly:
"General Dong Cheng, your eye saw me using the knife on Pao Ze. I asked him to see if my knife was sharp and let him play with the Thule weapons I captured."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Zhang Gu, drive away the defeated army and chase after this group of Thule soldiers."
"Li Kun, take your soldiers and rush in front of the defeated army. Set up ambushes on both sides of the Tulsi camp. Once the defeated army enters the camp, make a noise and advance."
"Li Xiaoqin, rush forward with me."
"General Dong Cheng, you are responsible for sweeping this camp. Clean it up before Chou Shi and rush to the West Camp."
The generals agreed loudly, and Zhang Gu led his troops, following the defeated troops of Thule who had been driven out. He pursued them leisurely and drove them towards the west camp.
Li Xiaoqin followed Su Lu out of the camp and headed west to the camp.
"Commander, General Dong Cheng is also a strong general. When he guarded Gongqian Pass, he was unable to defeat the inspectors on the right side of Tule. Why didn't you take him with you? At least let him bear the responsibility for disobeying military orders with us.
"
Su Lu glanced at Dong Chengyi's army, which was not covered by the level 3 light soldier night attack card. He had a deeper understanding of the range that the level 3 card could cover, and simply spoke.
"General Dong Cheng is a strong general, are you stupid?"
Li Xiaoqin had a black line on his face, how could he curse others? Let's discuss the issue.
But it feels so good to fight with the governor. Military orders are nothing. If you don't obey them, how can you give the governor a hand while marching in camp?
When the two arrived at the West Camp, Li Kun and Zhang Gu had already fought their way in. Most of the West Camp was already in a sea of fire, and the Thule soldiers began to retreat in all directions.
As soon as Chou Shi arrived, Dong Chengcheng led his army and rushed over. This time, Lin Tong and Su Ping also came.
Seeing Su Lu, Su Ping jumped up, the steel knife in his hand danced like a windmill, and shouted.
"Second brother, I knew it was you who came back, second brother."
"Of all the generals in Beiyang, the only one who can fight such a battle is you, second brother."
"Made, Lao Tang and Zhang Lu still don't let me leave the city. They are afraid that it is a trick of the Thule people and this grandson will prevent me from making any military achievements."
"Brothers, kill me. If you don't come forward, Thule's army will retreat and we won't even be able to drink the soup."
Su Ping led a group of howling soldiers, rushed into the Thule army tents with flames rising into the sky, chased after the Thule soldiers and started to chop them down.
When Lin Tong dismounted, his legs were shaking. Looking at the West Camp with flames blazing into the sky and the corpses of Thule soldiers strewn across the field, Lin Tong almost couldn't help but give himself a slap in the face.
This is not a fucking dream.
We fought in Beiyang for more than a year. Except when Su Lu was still there, the camp basically suffered more defeats than wins. Gongqianguan, Yumen, Beizheng, and Xitunling were lost one after another.
Now it was Beiyang's turn again. He was surrounded on all sides and could not even send a letter asking for help. Lin Tong once thought that this time he would be in Beiyang.
Unexpectedly, all four battalions besieging Beiyang were defeated overnight, and 40,000 to 50,000 Thule soldiers were killed and stripped of their armor.
"Okay, Mr. Su Hou, okay."
Lin Tong patted Su Lu on the shoulder and didn't know what to say to praise him.
At that time, in front of all the generals, he tried his best to override the opinions of the general public and assigned several capable troops in the camp to Su Lu. Unexpectedly, Su Lu did not let him down.
"Master Su Hou, I will go back and ask for credit for you, and ask for credit for your guards. Please give me great credit."
Lin Tong tremblingly got on his horse and returned to the camp excitedly.
In this battle with Su Lu, Lin Tong also made outstanding achievements. Just by defying all opinions and granting Su Lu the right to command independently was a great achievement.
Looking back now, I was really too wise at that time.
After this battle, how could he have the dignity to fight against him in the camp? He was just the governor of the Xuanfu, not the camp manager or the commander-in-chief of the Beiyang army.
Before dawn, the battle to clean up the West Camp was over. Su Lu ordered Li Kun, Li Xiaoqin, He Congzhi, and Zhang Gu.
"Dong Cheng stays behind to clean up the battlefield. You four, lead the troops back to camp and go to bed. The brothers must be exhausted from fighting all night. We must let them lie down before dawn."
Zheng Kai thought of the scene where he lay down after a night of fighting, and jumped onto his horse. The caller said: "Everyone is here, follow me."
Fatty Li Kun and Zhao had fought many battles with Su Lu, and had also experienced lying down and sleeping on the street many times. The two of them quickly mounted their horses and said, "Brothers, follow me and go back to the camp to sleep."
Zhang Gu looked at Su Lu, clasped his fists in his chest, and said solemnly: "Zhang Gu thanks the governor for saving his life, and thanks the governor for his help to Gu's subordinate Pao Ze. From now on, I will be the governor's soldier, and I will fight wherever the governor asks me to.
I’ll hit wherever you go.”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Gu also got on his horse, greeted his soldiers, and went off with a shout.
He Congzhi chuckled and said, "Captain, my brother-in-law said that I will obey you in everything. Commander, don't worry, I, Mr. He, will be yours from now on."
Su Ping walked out of the military tent with a knife in hand, his face full of irritation.
"Second brother, your soldiers are still as brave as before. Compared with them, I feel like a three-year-old child. Second brother, you'd better transfer me to your command."
Behind Su Ping, a group of guards looked at Su Lu with wide eyes.
Su Lu looked at the sky that was about to light up, turned his horse's head, and headed towards Beiyang City. He ordered Su Ping: "Go and bring Su Yun back to me. I have to go home and catch up on some sleep."
"The one who escaped this time is a great sergeant. You should lead some people to chase him. When we reach the border of Beizheng, whether you can catch up with him or not, you have to lead your troops back."
Su Ping heard this and asked Su Lu cautiously: "Second brother, what military formation do you think I should use? Spear formation, tortoise shell formation, iron barrel formation, or long snake formation?"
"One word long snake formation, don't be obsessed with fighting."
Su Lu rode into Beiyang.
Lying down on the bed in his mansion, before Su Lu fell asleep, he suddenly thought of a question.
