At 16 o'clock in the eleventh month of the first year of Chongzhen, the majestic Juyi Hall in the north of Woniu Mountain School Ground once again sounded the thundering drums. The three thousand soldiers who had already gathered around the square immediately organized themselves into small groups, military groups, and large groups.

They lined up in formation, row by row, and the sharp spears glowed with a cold and solemn light in the sinking moonlight.

The horses of the cavalry and the Black Tiger Guards also stood quietly on one side. The sabers in the hands of the brothers shone brightly against the brilliance of the moon.

Under the supervision of Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao, the children's team and the student team also organized their formations on the school field. Although there were some snoozing children who had not yet woken up, they still worked hard to stand upright.

The squad leader began to roll call and then reported to the corps leader. The corps leader sorted it out and then ran to report to the captain. After the captain verified, he ran to the steps of the hall and went to Guo Tianxing, Zhao Dahai, Geng Kui and other core leaders of the cottage who had already stood in silence.

Reporters, several reports, shouts, checks, and reports came and went one after another in this cold but vibrant morning.

All this was completed neatly when the first tom sounded, and then the whole team became as silent as a mountain, completely silent.

The second time the tom sounded, Guo Tianxing stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looking at the already strong army with an expressionless expression.

At this time, a snow-white and thin figure hurried behind the hall, walking calmly and calmly in the light of the sixteenth full moon. It was the long-lost military advisor, but he was thinner and more tired than before.

Thousands of pairs of eyes on the school grounds suddenly turned around and looked over. Thousands of pairs of eyes slowly followed the thin figure of the military advisor.

Suddenly, in this silent and solemn world, a slightly trembling voice said: "The military advisor is well."

Clearly and truly, Lu Shi paused for a moment, then turned his face and raised his hands in the direction of the voice of greeting. That familiar smile, that reassuring and trustworthy expression, was bathed in the clear moonlight, and then came the military advisor.

The warm spring breeze responded: "Well, brother."

"The military advisor (teacher, sir) is well." Thousands of people fired their rifles and shouted, and the sound rolled by like an overwhelming force.

Lu Shi was shocked, stopped his hurried steps, and solemnly saluted again, "Brothers, be well."

This does not violate military discipline, because this is only between the second tom and the third tom. During this period, thousands of brothers greeted the military advisor who they had not seen for a few days but seemed to have been apart for a long time. When Lu Shi straightened up

When I saw a pair of shining and concerned eyes in the darkness, I felt that the burden in my heart was heavier.

I will take them out of this place of death no matter what, and give them a chance to live no matter what, Lu Shi firmly made up his mind.

Guo Tianxing, Zhao Dahai and others also came up to greet him. They bowed deeply to the military advisor who was obviously tired and thin, and sincerely greeted him: "Mr. Military Advisor, how are you doing?"

Lu Shi turned around, faced these brothers who were caring for each other, and solemnly returned the greeting again: "Brothers and brothers, be well."

Guo Tianxing and Zhao Dahai stepped forward and lifted up Lu Shi. Guo Tianxing said heartbrokenly: "It's still early, sir, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhao Dahai complained in a low voice: "You are so tired, so you don't need to worry here, so why bother?"

Lu Shi thanked his brothers for their concern, then looked around and asked in a low voice: "Are Third Uncle and Chen Ce here?"

Everyone was stunned by this question. Something big was going on. The military advisor was going to call all the leaders for a meeting.

Therefore, Guo Tianxing ordered the guards at the foot of the steps: "Hurry up and ask your third uncle Chen Ce and Cao Meng Chunlan to come to the hall. By the way, ask Geng Kui to stop supervising the formation sequence and come over quickly."

The guards did not dare to neglect, and after saluting, they turned around and ran away.

"Please give the commander-in-chief an order to disband the three armies and convene a meeting of all brothers above the captain level in the village."

Without asking why, Guo Tianxing immediately stood on the steps of the hall and ordered to the dark soldiers below: "It's a holiday today, but all brothers will not disarm or travel far, and will be waiting for summons at any time. The captain will stay.

Have a meeting.”

The following were stunned for a moment, but there was no noise. Each team took its own team as a unit and began to slowly and orderly leave the school grounds. This was the first time that the Woniu Mountain Black Tiger Army only beat the gathering drum twice before giving up the gathering.

, everyone knows that something big is about to happen in Shanzhai.

The Woniu Mountain Juyi Hall was crowded with people, but no one whispered to each other. They all looked at Lu Shi quietly in the center of the hall.

"Things have changed. Our strategic shift can no longer be implemented according to the original timetable. Now, the strategic shift of the Southern Expedition has begun."

Everyone took a deep breath of air-conditioning, but still no one whispered to each other, and no one was panicked. Everyone was waiting for the military advisor's next words.

"I originally wanted to catch the officers and soldiers off guard, but judging from the news brought back by the supervisor sergeants yesterday, our decision has been leaked and the government has been prepared." So Lu Shi reported Zhao Xing's intelligence and his yesterday's information.

The inferences made during the night were stated one by one.

The hall was once again filled with the sound of breathing, and the unconscious twisting of the body caused the chair under him to creak and groan.

Zhao Dahai regretfully hammered the armrest of the chair with his fist, and complained in a low voice: "***, give me another ten days, and my formation will be perfect. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Lu Shi looked at Zhao Dahai, smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhao, don't be upset, this matter will happen sooner or later, we will just bear it."

Guo Tianxing cursed in a low voice: "Straight bitch, who leaked the news? If you let me know, I will definitely skin him."

"Commander, don't be impatient. What we must consider now is how to seize the time and start the transfer before the government makes further arrangements."

"Everything is decided by the military advisor." Guo Tianxing once again affirmed his consistent style.

Lu Shi stopped trying to evade, stood up, and faced Guo Tianxing. Guo Tianxing quickly and solemnly replied: "Sir, although the training of the three armies has been rushed, it has basically reached the strictness, unity, and coordination required by the military division to deal with the border troops."

There is no guarantee of victory for a large group of troops, but there is no problem in dealing with some brave rural warriors and Jedi."

Lu Shi was noncommittal and turned his attention to Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai also put away his joking expression and said solemnly: "When my cavalry guards encounter ghosts and ghosts, fools and gods, even if the Buddha blocks the way, I will also break a bloody path."

Geng Kui stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I, the Black Tiger Guard, will definitely be a sharp knife in Wo Niu Village. Even if we fight to the last person, we will not retreat."

Looking at Zhao Xing, whose eyes were dark and purple, Zhao Xing said calmly: "I can guarantee that our army will move with clear ears and eyes."

Lu Shi nodded fiercely with full trust, and then looked at the captains of the seventh team and the old captain of the archery team who were sitting together. The captains of the eighth team, headed by He Bin, looked at each other, then stood up together, and said loudly: "For the sake of those behind you,

Father, fight to the death and never retreat."

This sonorous and neat oath contains all the words and determination in their hearts. What is there about such a team that does not make people confident?

Facing the third uncle, he asked: "Third uncle, how are you preparing?"

The third uncle did not ask for help. He stood up and said solemnly: "Everything has been done according to the military advisor's instructions. Cloth and cotton have been distributed to the people. The food has also been made into dry food under the urgent work of the villagers. It is stipulated that each person of the village should have an average of

Carrying twenty kilograms has relieved a lot of logistics and transportation pressure, and the important materials for the cottage have also been transported by that

The brothers who had recovered from injuries and were incorporated into the baggage team were all packed up. With the fifty large trucks that Zhao Dahai had obtained, plus the original captured and owned ones from the cottage, the total number was one hundred trucks, plus the original ones from the cottage.

Donkeys and scalpers, the necessary baggage transportation should be no problem, but it's a pity that those heavy materials were hard-earned." The third uncle said with regret.

"How to deal with the cattle and sheep in the cottage?" This is what Lu Shi is most concerned about. Don't let the army move forward and become a herdsman.

The third uncle looked at Lu Shi with heartache and whispered: "Can we drive the cattle and sheep? Those spring ones are all seeds."

Sure enough, as Lu Shi expected, the third uncle really did not kill according to the regulations, so Lu Shi said with a smile: "Third uncle, let's kill him, otherwise the army will move in large numbers, and the herds of cattle and sheep will inevitably slow down the marching speed.

If you have talent, you will have everything."

Seeing that the third uncle still couldn't bear it, Lu Shi comforted him: "I lost these so that we can get more in the future. Third uncle, don't feel bad. What you lost will be there, and everything will be there."

The third uncle nodded reluctantly this time.

Before Lu Shi could ask, Chen Ce stood up calmly and said with cupped hands: "Twenty-one hundred wounded and heavy troops, although we haven't had time to train, but with the spear in hand, I guarantee that no grain of rice will be lost. Please rest assured, military advisor."

."

In the Battle of Mizhi, the wounded soldiers who finally recovered had no chance to train and were incorporated into the baggage team as reserve soldiers. They continued to support and protect the baggage. These personnel were all under the command of Chen Ce in the logistics department. Chen Ce acted as

one

The scribes also wanted to show off their ability in both civil and military matters. According to Lu Shi's training methods, they also paid close attention to the training and education of these baggage soldiers. Now, in addition to the strict formation of the baggage soldiers, they are also killing soldiers.

The meaning is soaring.

Looking at Blacksmith Zhao, Blacksmith Zhao stood up and saluted: "Military Advisor, we have almost used up all the refined iron. According to the quantity specified by the Military Advisor, we will make 5,000 spears, 700 sabers, and 100 sabers for the Supervisory Sergeant Brothers."

We have prepared the triangular hook drawn by the military advisor, and we have also reserved 100,000 long bows and arrow clusters. Please rest assured, military advisor."

Looking at the thin body of Blacksmith Zhao, who was originally like a black tower, Lu Shi gently cupped his hands and ordered: "Now, turn off the fire at the Jianghu camp and dismantle the furnace. Everyone will rest for two days, and then set off with the Chinese army."

"Thank you, military advisor, for your concern." Blacksmith Zhao was not polite and took the order to sit down. It was time for the brothers from the Jianghuying camp to rest. They were building equipment day and night. If they didn't rest, they would not be able to keep up with the army.

"Chunlan——"

"We, the Women's Army, will not drag everyone down."

Lu Shi looked at Chunlan, and then nodded with confidence.

"Now that everyone is ready to go, we will immediately announce the start of the strategic shift to the people, mobilize the people, and spend two days reorganizing all the supplies. At the same time, according to the pre-plan, we will demobilize and resettle the people who are unwilling to follow us on the southern expedition.

The day after tomorrow, on the 18th day of the 11th month of the first year of Chongzhen, we will sacrifice the flag and go to war."
