Two thousand armored cavalry have been lined up silently. The two hundred cavalry of the Beihai King's Guard were divided into two squads and were at the front. Murong Lin stood at the head of one squad and immediately crossed the line, while the other squad
, formed a strange hollow circular formation, encircling He Lanmin and Wang Mengzi in the middle. The riders in the inner circle were more than twenty steps away from them, making this circular formation look smaller than other dense riding formations.
It was more than twice as big, making the two people in the formation particularly conspicuous.
Murong Lin had finished lecturing the knights behind him. He took a deep breath, put on his helmet, pulled it down, turned around and stared at the inner door. More than a hundred auxiliary soldiers and civilians were running around, moving away.
Once the sandbags and earthbags behind the city gate are cleared, the gate will be quickly opened, and the two thousand cavalry will all rush out of the city in half a quarter of an hour, heading north!
A low voice, as thin as a gnat, sounded in Murong Lin's ears: "General Xiao Lin, can you step over and talk to me?"
Murong Lin recognized He Lanmin's voice and turned around to look, only to see He Lanmin still standing in the center of the circle dozens of steps away, looking at him and nodding slightly.
Murong Lin's heart trembled, but he still rode his horse and walked aside. Several guards wanted to follow, but they waved their hands to him: "I'll come as soon as I go, no need to follow."
Murong Lin walked to an open space about a hundred paces away from the two teams of cavalry. There was no sergeant within fifty paces, and He Lanmin, dressed as a soldier, also came slowly on horseback. It looked like a general leading
The personal guard was inspecting the city wall, and Murong Lin frowned slightly: "Why didn't the deaf-mute guard follow? Didn't he say that he would never leave my wife?"
He Lanmin smiled sweetly: "He is very obedient. When I asked him to wait for me, he would not move. General Xiaolin, time is limited. Before I attack, I think I may have something to say to you."
Murong Lin said calmly: "Madam, what else can I say? My mission is just to lead the two hundred Beihai Palace Guards to escort my wife to the north and break out to the Helan tribe. I can't do anything else... Madam
If you have other ideas, you should ask the person on the fifth floor."
He Lanmin's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "Do you really believe in Gongsun Wulou?"
Murong Lin was a little surprised and curled up his lips: "Madam, why did you say this? He is the commander-in-chief, and I am a former military general. There is an obvious superior-subordinate relationship. I can only obey his orders. There is no question of whether I believe it or not.
Yes, even if I am asked to die alone, it is still an order from the general and I must obey it."
He Lanmin shook his head: "You are a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty. However, when obeying, you must also think about whether such an order is worth it. If you are dedicated to the country and the public, like your father, the commander-in-chief
Yes, the orders he gave should be followed to the letter as you said, but if it is Gongsun Wulou..." At this point, her eyes flashed, but she stopped talking.
Murong Lin sighed: "Even if it's Gongsun Wulou, even if I don't like this person, but now he is my boss, the general, I have to obey his orders, otherwise in the army if I don't like someone, I will
If you don't listen to his orders as the commander-in-chief, wouldn't this army be in chaos? Don't say it's me, even madam, from now on, you can only listen to his orders."
He Lanmin raised her lips in disdain and blew her hair in the wind: "I'm not his subordinate, so I don't have to listen to his orders. In fact, I'm his superior, which is pretty much it. Because of this
To carry out the mission he received as a national advisor, he had to escort me to the north with all his strength."
Murong Lin frowned slightly: "But madam, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with the Lord on the fifth floor now, otherwise you wouldn't have said these things to me. What are you worried about?"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "Things are different from the original plan. Gongsun Wulou should have taken two thousand cavalry to escort me to the north, but he just said that he would only let you two hundred cavalry take me to the north. He took the big
The troops were going in another direction, and he asked, what kind of art of war is this? General Xiaolin, I am a woman and I don’t understand military matters. Tell me, is this a art of war that allows us to break through, or is it a art of war that makes us die?”
Murong Lin's expression changed slightly: "Did the Lord on the fifth floor really say that?"
He Lanmin said sternly: "Yes, he said that if a small force attacks, the Jin army will think it is a bait and will stand still. Two hundred of us can easily rush out, and the Jin army will not even stop them. They will turn to other places.
The pursuers of the Jin army will also chase them and let us go. This is a false and true military strategy."
Murong Lin shook his head: "This is not some kind of military strategy. Gongsun Wulou's arrangement is to let us distract the Jin army so that he can have a chance to stand out from other places. Even if the Jin army doesn't take us seriously,
We won't let us escape from the north like this, just send a few hundred cavalry to pursue us. Besides, there are dense forests, rivers and other ambush places. As long as we make the slightest move, we won't be able to escape."
He Lanmin's eyes widened, and he punched the high bridge of the saddle with hatred: "This kid is really playing tricks on us. It's a good thing that I asked you, General Xiaolin, otherwise, I would have been fooled by this guy again."
Murong Lin sighed: "But even if I know this, I can only obey his orders. Who calls him the commander-in-chief? When fighting, there are tricks to lure the enemy and test them, and someone must execute them. But as soldiers, we,
Military orders must be obeyed, and as you said just now, madam, you are a noble and are not under the jurisdiction of the Lord on the Fifth Floor. I think you should follow his army."
When he said this, he reined in the horse and turned back.
Helanmin said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, General Xiaolin, let me ask you, if you really lead me out of the siege and open the way to the north, will you go to the Helan tribe with me?"
Murong Lin frowned: "The order given to me by Lord Fifth Floor is to lead you out of the siege. As for after the breakout, if he is still with us, then I have to continue to listen to his orders. If he is not here, then I have to
Carry out the previous general's orders, complete the mission, and then fight back to the city to help defend the city."
Helanmin shook his head: "It is very difficult to get out. If your team of two hundred people wants to come back, I'm afraid there won't be many people left. If I invite you to come to the north in the name of the leader of the Helan tribe,
, are you willing to assist me in reorganizing the Helan tribe?"
As she spoke, she smiled lightly and came closer to Murong Lin, and a bare hand as white as jade, accompanied by the soul-stirring fragrance of rosemary, touched Murong Lin's hand holding the reins. There was an electric feeling, and she suddenly felt relaxed.
It spread all over Murong Lin's body, making He Lanmin's voice also reveal a breathtaking psychedelic feeling. Murong Lin's mind immediately began to repeat three words: follow her!
