Gao Muqing frowned and said in deep thought: "Military advisor, have you ever thought about it, if you really have to fight your way back to the mountain, it may not be an easy task. If the officers and soldiers get the news, they will have to mobilize troops and horses stationed in several counties. Once an officer and soldier are killed
If they are entangled, the officers and soldiers who get the news will rush to help. By then, they will not be able to escape. Not to mention the officers and soldiers from several counties gathered together. As far as I know, the number of officers and soldiers stationed in Ye County alone is as high as 700. I
Although the brothers of the village master are all elite soldiers and generals, after all, they have traveled for more than ten hours and everyone is tired. I'm afraid..."
Gao Muqing is telling the truth. Anyone can boast, but the actual situation is that the three hundred people in Luoyan Valley are tired and sleepy at the moment, and they are relying solely on their energy to hold on. Many of them are actually frostbitten. They rushed there yesterday
After Qingtai Town, many people's underwear was soaked, and their clothes and shoes were full of cold sweat and snow. When the cold wind blew, ice froze in their clothes. On the way just now, many people were sweating and coughing with red faces. Obviously
The wind and cold are already extremely serious. Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness must be extremely low. If you encounter an enemy several times your own, it will be very difficult to win.
Everyone fell silent after listening to Gao Muqing's words. These were real words, not something that could be solved by bragging. They had to consider the current real situation.
Lin Jue suddenly laughed. "Who said we have to fight head-on? I just said that if we have to fight, there will only be a bloody battle. If you can avoid the battle, why bother fighting with the officers and soldiers?"
Everyone looked at Lin Jue in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't you forget, even if the officers and soldiers meet us face to face, we are wearing the imperial court's standard armor and holding the imperial court's standard weapons. Do they know who we are? Could it be that we
Isn’t it true that the word ‘bandit’ is engraved on your face?”
Gao Muqing quickly woke up and exclaimed: "Oh, so you mean...we got through it in a fool's errand?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's right. If you can hide, you can hide. Even if you can't hide, we can get close to the opponent with the armor of the imperial court. When the time comes to capture the thief and the king, and launch a sudden attack, wouldn't the chance of winning be greater?
In short, everything should be done with a camera and adapt to circumstances."
Everyone nodded. The military advisor's words made sense, and they seemed to feel more at ease. In fact, no one thought that the method he said would definitely work. What really made people feel at ease was his calm and confident attitude in thinking.
At this moment, when everyone is unsure, what is often needed is not a perfect strategy, but a person who can give people a backbone and stabilize people's hearts. Lin Jue has obviously achieved this.
"Okay, in that case, we will listen to the military advisor. From now on, when the military advisor orders, we will follow it." Gao Muqing nodded.
Lin Jue didn't refuse, as his humility at this time was meaningless.
"Okay, please give the order from the leader of the village. Everyone should put on armor and weapons, and be equipped with bows and crossbows. Invite the leader of the village and the female guards to ride in the vacated cart."
"Why is that? We don't need special care. My female guard and I are not weak women." Gao Muqing frowned.
Lin Jue shouted: "I am not taking special care of you women, but because if we encounter officers and soldiers and there are women among us, our identities will obviously be exposed. You can only hide in the carriage and cannot show your face."
"Oh, I see, then... we just do as you are told." Gao Muqing said.
"In addition, immediately send out several small teams to conduct reconnaissance for several miles in front, behind, and left of the team. This will facilitate early detection of the enemy's situation and timely transmission of information to prepare for response." Lin Jue continued.
"Okay, that's how it should be."
"Finally, let me tell everyone that from the moment they put on the armor, they are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and no longer the heroes in the mountains. I believe you know better than me what officers and soldiers are like. You must be arrogant and overbearing. When encountering real people
Even a timid look in the eyes of our officers and soldiers will reveal their identity. Details determine success or failure, do you understand?"
Gao Muqing responded crisply and immediately issued the order. Everyone began to change their clothes on the spot. After a busy period, nearly three hundred bandits transformed from a ragtag army into a bandit wearing standard armor and holding the imperial weapons department.
The team of officers and soldiers who were ordered to make weapons. Although these armors are a little worn out and some have been partially damaged, they are better than the equipment of ordinary court officers and soldiers. You must know that this is the equipment of the palace guards, and they are the best in the Zhou Dynasty.
equipment.
Five of the six carts were empty, so there was no need for Gao Muqing, a dozen female guards, Lu Wu and others to get on the cart and cover them with tarpaulin. After all, it was quite inconvenient to push the cart. Four carts.
Scout teams were sent out in four directions. The scout teams in groups of three were responsible for searching for information around them. After everything was ready, everyone set off as a team and strode forward along the official road.
After walking for half an hour, the sky was already bright. Soon the morning glow was brilliant in the east, and the red sun burst out. After the snow, the clear sun shone on the surrounding fields. The snow reflected the colorful light, giving the mountains and fields a touch of gorgeous color. This situation, this scene, if it were
There is a great poet here, and I am afraid he will write some shocking poems. However, for the three hundred people walking on the road at this moment, they are blind to this beautiful scenery, because what they are most worried about is whether there are any traces of officers and soldiers.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and it is soon approaching noon. Calculating the distance, we are already more than 40 miles away from Qingtai Town, and only 60 miles away from Luoyan Valley. The outline of the Funiu Mountains in the distance is already clear under the blue sky.
, the undulating shadow of light blue in the distance is like the call of home in the distance.
But when we reach this range, we have actually reached the most dangerous distance. The distance from thirty to sixty or seventy miles outside Funiu Mountain is exactly the range that officers and soldiers must guard against. At this moment, as the flat terrain becomes undulating, the Funiu Mountain Range
The lingering veins have changed the flat terrain. That means that the critical moment is coming.
Soon after, an alarm came from the front scouts. The scouts who were watching on a hillock in front spotted a group of officers and soldiers coming several miles away. The scouts quickly reported the news, and the entire Luoyan Valley team suddenly fell into an extremely nervous state.
in emotion.
What was supposed to come came anyway, a team of four to five hundred people, that was a large force, and they were about to collide with me head-on.
"Please, the leader of the village and all the female leaders, get on the cart and take shelter for a while." Lin Jue smiled and said to Gao Muqing.
Gao Muqing had no choice but to take a dozen female guards, Lu Wu and others onto the cart, and someone covered them with a black tarpaulin.
Lin Jue turned around and said to everyone: "Brothers, please listen to me, form your team, hold your chest high, and move forward with your head held high. Remember, we are the royal guards, and those coming from the opposite side are local officers and soldiers. In terms of status, they
Why don't we. I'll deal with it later, you don't have to worry."
Everyone suppressed their nervousness and immediately lined up. Lin Jue specially organized the formation and moved more than a hundred people carrying bows and arrows to the back of the team so that the archers would have time to launch a surprise attack after the action started.
.
After everything was sorted out, people gathered around several carts and drove forward along the official road. Soon after, they saw a group of black soldiers and horses appearing on the hill in front of them on the downhill road. Looking from a distance.
, there were hundreds of officers and soldiers, their armors and weapons flashing in the sun, making them quite impressive.
The officers and soldiers on the opposite side obviously saw the oncoming group of soldiers and horses on the road, and the other side immediately reacted. The formation of the soldiers and horses changed, and the two groups of soldiers and horses spread out on the snow on both sides. Then, like two wings, they flew from
The two wings surrounded him.
Lin Jue and others did not change their formation and walked forward along the official road. When the two sides met for a few hundred steps, the opponent's front team stopped advancing. Someone shouted loudly: "Who are you? Tell me your name."
"
Lin Jue stood at the front of the team, wearing black armor and a hunting cloak. He seemed to have the style of a Confucian general. But when he saw him holding the handle of his sword, he shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"
A tall general in the opponent's formation stood up, pointed at Lin Jue and shouted: "Hey, this is the defense range of our Ye County soldiers and horses. I am Ma Tiande, the deputy commander of the Ye County Patrol Battalion. Who are you waiting for?"
, why do you appear in the jurisdiction of this general?"
Lin Jue shouted coldly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out that it is indeed the soldiers and horses of Ye County. I am going to settle accounts with you. Ma Tiande, right? I want to judge with you today."
The 300 people behind Lin Jue were all startled. This Military Advisor Fang must have gone crazy. He actually opened his mouth to curse at the main force of 400 to 500 officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and threatened to settle a score with them. Isn't this asking for trouble?
The battalion commander opposite, General Ma Tiande, was also startled. The group of people in front of him seemed to have bad intentions. Could it be that they were here to cause trouble?
"Who are you? Why do you want to ask this general for comment?" Ma Tiande spoke softly because he couldn't figure out the details.
Lin Jue sneered, waved his hand and approached with his own troops. Ma Tiande hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get ready. Suddenly all the soldiers on the other side raised their swords and guns, and the archers also held arrows in their hands, ready to deal with emergencies.
"Stop, don't blame us for being rude if you go any further." Ma Tiande shouted loudly.
Lin Jue waved his hand and ordered his side to stop advancing, but at this moment they were less than thirty steps away from the opponent. Lin Jue believed that this distance was enough to launch a surprise attack, so there was no need to move too close.
"Ma Tiande, stand firm and listen to me. We are the guards of Prince Liang's Mansion in Hangzhou. I am Fang Lin, the deputy commander of the guards of Prince Liang's Mansion in Hangzhou. I have finally found you people. Hum, I must give us a message today.
Explain."
"Soldiers and horses from Prince Liang's Palace?" Ma Tiande was stunned, a little confused. Why did the guards from Prince Liang's Palace appear here? Hangzhou is thousands of miles away, so this is a bit strange.
"It turns out to be Commander Fang, whom I have admired for a long time." Out of courtesy, Ma Tiande bowed his hands and said.
"Humph!" Lin Jue puffed up his chest and folded his belly, turning his head away and raising his nose.
