"What?" Xiaolang was shocked and suddenly knelt down next to the middle-aged man.
"Master, did my apprentice do something bad that made you angry?" Xiaolang said with tears in his eyes: "If that's the case, master, you can just scold me as you like, but can you not leave?"
The little wolf who just turned his hands to make clouds and rain when facing the enemy was now crying like a child who had not grown up.
The middle-aged man said displeasedly: "A man, why are you crying? And, get up, this is what I taught you?"
The little wolf pursed his lips, stood up aggrievedly, and looked at the middle-aged man longingly.
The middle-aged man was speechless when Xiaolang looked at him, and he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.
After all, he is still just a child.
"The reason why I want to leave is because I still have important things to do, not because you have done anything wrong."
"You are a good boy and can do everything well. Even if Master is not with you in the future, there will be no problem."
Xiaolang said with red eyes: "Master, if you have anything to do, please let me do it. I will definitely be able to do it well. Master, can you not leave?"
The middle-aged man smiled and patted the little wolf on the head, lovingly saying: "You are already doing it. Keep doing what you are doing now, which is the best reward for me."
The middle-aged man left anyway.
In order to achieve the teacher's goal, one little wolf is not enough, they need dozens or even hundreds of little wolves.
"Little wolf, don't die."
Xiaolang, who successfully occupied a fire rock mine, successfully defeated the officers and soldiers who surrounded him ten days later. He completely established his footing and his reputation became more and more famous.
Northern State.
"These damn thieves!" The officers, soldiers and generals looked at the mess on the ground in front of them and swung their whips.
A month ago, three groups of bandits from the northern state united together and actually captured the county seat.
Although it didn't take long for the champion to take back the place and kill one of the rebel leaders.
Although these bandits were successfully eliminated, the damage they caused to the county town was immeasurable.
Since then, the general has been hunting down these rebels.
But these guys are like cockroaches in the garbage dump, no matter how hard you kill them, you can't kill them.
Obviously, these people are not monolithic.
At a critical moment, it is simply commonplace to betray each other and deceive each other.
For example, once, he clearly blocked these people on a mountain ridge, but one group of thieves escaped from the mountain ridge and destroyed the road, forcing another group of thieves to cut off their rear.
In the end, although he sent people to kill the bandits, he allowed their leader to escape.
Not long after, the guy who escaped actually formed another team.
Obviously every battle is a victory for the army, but the number of thieves and bandits is increasing.
In the beginning, there were only four rebel leaders who were relatively strong, and two of them were killed in previous battles.
But before he knew it, there were already six powerful thieves, and they were said to be the six demon kings.
Even the worship masters of the Zhao family have suffered losses at the hands of these people.
Although these hateful guys plot against each other, they are surprisingly unanimous when facing those worshiping masters.
Once one person is in trouble, everyone will go to support him.
At first, there were still dedicated masters to deal with the rebel leaders, but now no one is willing to go.
The only two remaining worship masters have been following the army, waiting for the support of other worship masters.
Although the forces of these rebels are expanding rapidly, there is still a huge gap between ordinary farmers and the real army.
Therefore, no one really takes these rebels seriously.
He never expected that just an hour ago, when they were chasing the rebels to a mountain pass, arrows suddenly rained down from the sky, and huge boulders fell from the mountain one after another.
The sudden attack caused the officers and soldiers to suffer considerable losses.
There was a master of worship who was accidentally hit by several boulders.
Although he was not dead, he was seriously injured and would definitely need to go back for recuperation.
More importantly, after this battle, more than half of the official army was lost and had to retreat to rest.
Others may still not take these thieves to heart, after all, they are just some thieves.
Nowadays, there are no real elites and masters who are fighting against these rebels. Everyone believes that as long as the court is serious, eliminating these bandits is just a matter of a few moves.
Only generals who have fought against these bandits for several months can feel how terrifying they are.
"Withdrawing our troops this time, it will be even more difficult to eliminate them next time."
However, what he has to worry about more now is probably his own future.
Western States.
He Chengpi had a hideous scar on his face. This scar is like a big centipede, lying diagonally on He Chengpi's face, from the left forehead to the right corner of the mouth.
In front of him, in addition to Tang Jianjun, there were also faces who had had a banquet with him before.
However, the men using the giant axes are missing.
"Brothers, our goal this time is Linjiang City. Do you know why?"
The remaining people all looked furious: "Because the guy who killed Lao Wu is now in Linjiang City."
"Very good, it seems that everyone has not forgotten Lao Wu's revenge." He Chengpi nodded with satisfaction: "This time, we will break through Linjiang City and avenge Lao Wu!"
"Now please ask the military advisor to explain to us how to attack Linjiang City!"
Tang Jianjun didn't quite agree with He Chengpi's attack on the city at this time.
But after all, he was just a strategist and could not completely influence He Chengpi's thoughts.
And it has to be said that the reason why He Chengpi's rebel army has grown so rapidly, reaching more than 40,000 people in just two months, is inseparable from He Chengpi's character.
If it weren't for this bold and heroic temper, this guy might not be able to gain the support of so many people.
So even though he felt that the time was not yet ripe, Tang Jianjun felt that there should be no problem in giving it a try.
At least He Chengpi wasn't the kind of stubborn person. If something really couldn't be done, he wouldn't force it.
"Chiefs, please listen to me..." Tang Jianjun told the leaders of the Qingshan Army about the tactics of siege on the map.
"Although Linjiang City is a big city, its defense is not strong and the number of garrison troops is also very small."
"Our army is ten times that of the other side. As long as we launch a fierce attack at the beginning and catch the other side by surprise, it is very possible to take Linjiang City in one go."
"But once we can't capture it in a short period of time, the battle is likely to fall into a stalemate."
"At that time, the Dog Court can mobilize troops from all over the state..."
He Chengpi laughed: "I understand what the military advisor means. Don't worry, if we really can't take Linjiang City in a short time, I will withdraw my troops immediately and never stop fighting."
The Qingshan Army's assembly speed was astonishingly fast. A total of 40,000 people had completed combat preparations in two days and set off for Linjiang City.
The reason for this, in addition to the fact that they have always been in combat status, another more important reason is of course that Tang Jianjun has strictly reorganized the army.
These things were all learned from Zheng Yi, the organizational structure of the modern army. Compared to a relatively primitive world like Cang Yan Realm, this is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
After the city lord of Linjiang City received the news that there were rebels who wanted to attack the city, his first thought was disdain.
"A mere rebel wants to attack our Linjiang City. You really don't know how high the sky is."
"Let me see how capable those mud-legged people are."
He spoke very forcefully, but when he climbed onto the city wall and saw the rapidly approaching army in the distance, he immediately began to hesitate.
There are over 10,000 people, and there are no boundaries.
More than 10,000 Qingshan troops formed, and they looked as if waves were coming towards them.
But Qingshan Army seemed to think that this was not scary enough.
Before the city lord could recover from the shock, a messenger hurriedly came to report.
"Report! Lord City Lord, the west gate was attacked by bandits."
"Report! Lord City Lord, the South City Gate was attacked by bandits."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The city lord's eyes suddenly went dark.
The number of enemies in front of me was already terrifying, and the results actually told me that such terrifying enemies actually surrounded the city.
Wait...
The city lord seemed to suddenly discover Hua Dian.
There are enemies attacking in the southwest and on his side, so...
"What's going on over there at the North City Gate? Send someone quickly to investigate."
The messenger came back soon: "Report, no trace of the bandits was found at the North City Gate."
Upon hearing the news, the city lord was inexplicably relieved.
Less than twenty miles away from the North City Gate is the Lujiang Pier, where there are many large ships.
"General Chang, what do you think?" The city lord's voice was still trembling.
Although there have been rebellions every year in recent years, most of them can be solved by the worship masters single-handedly.
Even if there are occasionally more powerful ones, as long as the court sends out troops, they can be wiped out quickly.
The ones that really made it to the point where they could attack the city were the Weihe Army more than ten years ago and the Qingshan Army now.
This is the first time I have experienced such a scene. It is already very difficult for the proud city lord to still stand here.
"Back to the city lord, I don't think you need to worry at all." General Chang said solemnly.
"The reason why these rebels seem so powerful is because they have no ability to restrain the troops."
"Look at the enemy troops below. They seem to be outnumbered. In fact, that's because they have no formation at all. They are a mess, so they appear to be very numerous."
"If these people are well-trained and assembled into a formation, there will only be more than 10,000 people at most."
It was okay if General Chang didn't say anything. But when he said this, the city lord became even more frightened.
"General Chang...General Chang. We only have more than a thousand people, and the enemy's army is ten times stronger than ours. Can we really withstand this?"
General Chang said confidently: "Lord City Lord, although the number of enemy troops is large, they are working hard on an expedition, but we are waiting for work."
"And the number of enemies who can attack the city is limited. It is impossible for everyone to rush under the city wall, so the enemies we face at the same time will not be much more than us."
"Coupled with the existence of the city wall, it will take at least several days for them to attack the city."
"By that time, our reinforcements will have already arrived. Instead, we will be able to cooperate internally and externally to completely eliminate these bandits."
After hearing General Chang's lucid analysis, the city lord breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in his heart eased a little.
"In that case, leave it to General Chang."
"Don't worry, City Lord, they are just a bunch of low-class thieves. As long as the general is still alive, they can't even think of setting foot on the city."
Looking at the Qingshan Army getting closer and closer, the city lord suddenly said: "By the way, General Chang, since there are no enemy troops at the north gate, why don't you transfer some of the troops over there to assist in the defense?"
"Absolutely not." General Chang was shocked and quickly stopped: "Although we haven't seen any traces of the enemy over there, it may be a trick of the enemy."
"If we rashly deploy troops, once the North City Gate is raided by the enemy, it will be too late to go back to support."
After General Chang's repeated persuasion, the city lord gave up his plan to mobilize troops from the north city gate.
The menacing Qingshan Army suddenly stopped when they rushed two hundred steps below the city gate.
This scene left the city lord and General Chang puzzled.
"He...what are they trying to do?" the city lord asked doubtfully.
"I don't know the last general." General Chang was also a monk two feet tall and was confused.
The key to siege is to go all at once.
Now is the time when their morale is at its strongest. Choosing to stop the attack is simply the stupidest thing to do.
Just when they were puzzled, a cry of killing and the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from below the city gate.
General Chang subconsciously stretched out his head and glanced in the direction of the suspension bridge under the city gate. There was not even a ghost here.
Then he finally realized something and his face changed drastically: "No, these rebels have an inside presence in the city, and they want to open the city gate now!"
"Forgive me, City Lord, but I will rush to support you immediately."
General Chang is also a master in the crystallization stage, otherwise he would not be able to become a general with heavy troops.
I saw him quickly running to the inside of the city wall and jumping directly from the city wall.
With a roar, the man and his armor were smashed down, smashing a Qingshan Army soldier into a meat pie.
Then without stopping, he rushed towards the Qingshan Army soldiers who were attacking the city gate.
There was no one at the scene who was his enemy.
During tea time, all the Qingshan Army soldiers who attacked the city gate were beheaded and no one survived.
With General Chang present, the outcome of the battle can be said to have no suspense.
However, General Chang was not at all relaxed.
It's not like he hasn't fought against rebels in the past.
Most of those people are actually just ordinary people who can't survive.
When it comes to life and death, few people have the courage to fight to the death. Most of them found that there was no hope and quickly knelt down and surrendered.
Even if he surrenders, he will still be killed by the army.
But the Qingshan Army in front of them was different.
When his long sword pierced the body of the last Qingshan Army soldier, the opponent actually used his last strength to raise the sword and slash at him.
"A bunch of lunatics."
General Chang concluded. (End of chapter)
