That night, the Luoyan Army camp was brightly lit, and nearly 100,000 people worked in turns, rushing to build the camp and build high platforms. They were busy. Wanyan Agu was watching from a distance. Seeing this situation, he felt quite anxious.
He was determined to order an attack immediately, but he didn't want to lose the chance of a peaceful solution. After all, he still had a trump card in his hand that could blackmail Lin Jue, so it was always difficult to make up his mind.
Sometimes, people are like this. If there is room for maneuver, they will act hesitantly and look forward and backward. If they are forced into a desperate situation, they will let go and attack decisively. Wanyan Aguda always wants too much, is too ambitious, and is too smart.
It is not enough, so we can only let the best fighter plane be lost in vain.
Of course, for Lin Jue, this night was actually quite scary. In order to prevent the opponent from attacking, tens of thousands of archers and grenade throwers lurked outside the camp in the night. Once the opponent launched an attack, they would be merciless.
Even a thousand personal guards from Lin Jue's firearms battalion were ambushed on the front line under the leadership of Sun Dayong. Once there was a firefight in the dark, these more than a thousand bastard box muskets would still show their power.
However, Lin Jue believed in his own judgment. If Wanyan Aguda wanted to attack, they should launch a fierce attack when the army started to set up camp, instead of bringing people to ask for a meeting to discuss. Naturally, they were looking forward to reaching an agreement, so
That's why he behaved like this. In this case, there is a high probability that he will not make up his mind tonight. The soldiers and horses are ambushing the outside just to take precautions and avoid accidents.
The night passed without incident. In fact, Lin Jue only squinted for a short time that night and had already stood up at dawn. He was dressed neatly and stepped onto a high earth platform, looking towards the surrounding camps that were still under construction. But he saw the early morning
Under the dawn, the entire camp had changed greatly. The outer camp wall was already as high as one person, and the next step was to continue to widen and heighten it, so that the soldiers could defend themselves above the wall. The outer trench was also dug for ten feet.
It's a few feet wide and a few feet deep. All that's left is to dig a few feet deeper to create an obstacle for the opponent's cavalry to attack. Close to the inside of the village wall, more than a hundred earthen platforms have begun to take shape. As time goes by, they can be raised higher.
It has become a commanding attack position for firearms. The foundations of hundreds of arrow towers have also been built. Then the skeleton of the arrow towers will be built. In one day, the arrow towers will be able to stand in the camp, and then they will be integrated with the city wall.
The archers on the ground and the firearms on the earthen platform formed a three-dimensional blocking fire of high, medium and low levels to deal a fierce blow to the invading enemy.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Jue was very happy. But he also understood that in the current situation, he was not ready to defend the opponent's cavalry from rushing in from all directions. It can only be said that he already had partial defense capabilities. The entire camp
The defense system still needs time to be completed. By then, the three-dimensional defense camp that I designed before, like a military camp in a miniature city, will be able to exert its maximum effectiveness. And all of this will take time.
Lin Jue got off the platform and took Bai Bing directly from the center of the tent to the construction site around the camp. On the east side of the camp, dozens of military cooks were carrying hot meals over. Work was done here.
It was time for the soldiers and people to have a meal and rest. Seeing Lin Jue approaching, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Jue.
"Brothers
, You have worked hard. Come on, come on, give me the rice spoon, and I will serve the rice to the brothers. Bing'er, you go and scoop the vegetables. Today we are here to work as logistics and serve the brothers." Lin Jue smiled and looked around.
People salute.
Everyone hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take it seriously. How can Marshal Lin serve us rice and scoop vegetables? Isn't it embarrassing for me to wait?"
Lin Jue said: "What's the big deal? Don't be polite. You are all hungry and tired. Only after you have eaten enough food can you have the strength to work. Let me see, um, the food is not bad. I ordered them to put more oil and water in the food.
It seems that I have complied with the instructions. Well, it smells so good. Come on, I'm salivating from the smell. Hurry up, hurry up, everyone has enough to eat, and if there is not enough room for the kitchen, continue to do it."
Lin Jue rolled up his sleeves, picked up a big iron spoon and banged the rice bucket with a bang. Bai Bing also rolled up his sleeves, picked up a vegetable spoon and prepared to scoop vegetables for everyone. Then everyone lined up and came over to say thank you. It was also time to start dinner.
It is staggered. The cooks are always cooking, and the people who eat are also in groups. Two thousand people have a meal once, and a meal is served once an hour. This can not only ensure the supply of food, but also ensure that there will not be a large-scale epidemic.
Work stoppage.
Lin Jue's approach was of course symbolic, but actually meant to express condolences. Moreover, he only filled the rice bowls of dozens of people, so Sun Dayong galloped from outside the Dongying Gate and rushed to Lin Jue.
"Report to the commander, Wanyan Agu sent someone to urge the commander to meet them. The location is in the woods two miles away to the east. The humble officer has sent troops to check whether it is safe." Sun Dayong jumped off his horse.
Come, come forward and report.
Lin Jue frowned and looked at the sky. The sun had not yet risen in the east, it was only early in the morning. Wanyan Agu sent someone to urge the meeting, which shows how urgent he was. Of course, it was impossible to refuse, since he was like this
Urgency means suspicion in the heart. Refusal means inviting attack. Besides, Wanyan Mingyue and her son are in his hands. Before rescuing them, Lin Jue definitely does not want to get into a big fight, which may really harm them.
"Go back to him and tell them that I haven't gotten up yet, so just ask them to wait," Lin Jue said.
Sun Dayong was stunned and said: "The commander-in-chief doesn't want to go?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Of course we have to go, but we can't be in a hurry if they are anxious. We have a lot of things here, and it will take time. By the way, you don't have to rush to answer them, just go slowly. God will return.
It’s early.”
Sun Dayong was so smart that he immediately understood Lin Jue's intention. Lin Jue's intention was obviously to delay as much time as possible. He could delay it for as long as possible to buy time for the construction of the camp.
"Bizhi understands. I'll go and reply now." Sun Dayong got on his horse, raised his whip and wanted to beat the horse to gallop, but suddenly he came to his senses, put down his whip, and urged the horse to lead the people away slowly.
Lin Jue handed the rice spoon into the hands of the cook soldiers and smiled at the soldiers and people: "Everyone, I'm sorry. It seems that some people are unwilling to let us calm down. I have to go see them. You guys have to work harder, you have to
Work harder. Work harder now. When the war breaks out, our brothers will lose less lives and bleed less. After this battle, you will all be hard-working people."
Everyone shouted: "Don't worry, Commander, none of us will be lazy."
"Please!" Lin Jue bowed his hands and saluted, then waited with Bai Bing.
People leave.
It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Wanyan Aguda, who had been waiting impatiently in a small sparse forest on the east side and had become angry several times, finally received the news of Lin Jue's arrival. Under the sun, Lin Jue rode his five-flowered horse.
The horse came slowly, surrounded by a group of personal guards. It took a full stick of incense to walk just a short distance from here in the woods.
Wanyan Agu was very angry, but he could only wait patiently for Lin Jue and others to arrive. There were two chairs facing each other in the shady open space in the forest. This was a simple meeting place. People on both sides had already surveyed the surroundings.
A detailed search was conducted, and it was found that this place was two miles away from the armies of both sides. Each side only had 500 cavalry accompanying them. Everyone was prohibited from carrying weapons to ensure sincerity and safety.
Lin Jue entered the forest and saw Wanyan Aguda sitting on the big chair a few feet away with his eyes wide open. Wanyan Aguda's face was full of anger, and his curvy beard was raised, and he looked very expressionless.
Not good.
"Marshal Lin is so impressive. It's really different. He's Prince Zhou now, isn't he? He's so impressive. Do you know how long I've been waiting here?" Wanyan Agu shouted loudly.
Lin Jue approached slowly, smiled and said with cupped hands: "Hello, Chief Wanyan, you are so angry. Being angry can easily harm your body, so it is better to be less angry. We said goodbye by the Qingshui River, and we met again. Ended
Leader Yan Da’s style remains the same.”
Wanyan Aguda clearly felt Lin Jue's ridicule. After the negotiation on the Qingshui River Covered Bridge broke down, it was the beginning of his series of defeats at the hands of Lin Jue. Lin Jue specifically pointed out that meeting, fearing that it was exactly
Humiliating myself.
"Stop talking nonsense. We have made an appointment to meet and discuss today. Why are you lingering? Are you insincere? If you don't want to discuss, just say it clearly. I won't bother you. Let's have a big fight and decide the winner.
"Wanyan Agu shouted angrily.
"I'm here, aren't I?" Lin Jue laughed and said, "The leader Wanyan is still so fiery and quick-tempered. I wanted to come earlier, but I couldn't sleep for half the night last night. It's such a hot morning in the morning.
I slept soundly, but I really couldn't get up. The big boss sent someone to ask me for a discussion early in the morning. He had to let me get up, wash up and have breakfast. I didn't dare to neglect when I came to see the big boss. I took a shower and changed clothes specially.
I dressed myself up so as not to be rude. Does the big boss blame me for this?"
Bai Bing almost laughed out loud, but he tried his best to hold it back and gritted his teeth.
Wanyan Agu glared for a long time, but he had nowhere to get angry. This kid always spoke in a weird and eccentric manner, so it would be pointless to talk nonsense with him.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you agree to my condition. If you agree to a one-sentence matter, we will turn our hostility into friendship and talk about anything. If we don't agree, we will go back to camp and we will see the outcome on the battlefield."
If it doesn’t work, give me a quick word.” Wanyan Agu shouted loudly.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "You are indeed a cheerful person. The big leader speaks crisply and never sloppily. But...I still know what conditions you want to negotiate with me. Big leader, you must at least face it."
Can you tell me clearly? It's all hearsay, and it's what the letter says. I only believe what your big leader says face to face."
