Chapter 354 Arrival
After Long Qi left, he kept walking. At this moment, Long Qi suddenly discovered that a cavalry team that had been marching rapidly appeared in front of him. After a preliminary estimate, there were about 5,000 people, and this team had not yet shown any signs.
"Hmm? The equipment of this team seems to be very similar to that of Lord Lu's army. In this way, this should be Lord Lu's army. No matter what, I will ask first." After Long Qi made up his mind, he rushed towards the five thousand cavalry team.
"Please stay!" After Long Qi rushed to the front of the cavalry team, he stopped directly and shouted loudly at the cavalry team of five thousand people.
"Yu!" Seeing someone blocking the way, Lin Chen subconsciously stopped his horse stance, looked at Long Qi, and asked Long Qi: "Who are you? Why do you think we are going."
"In Xia Longqie, he is an unknown hero in the world. He has been admiring Lord Lu for a long time and came to surrender. I wonder if this general is under Lord Lu's command?" Longqi asked when he heard this.
"I am Lin Chen, the head of Langya Pavilion under the command of the lord. Since he came to join the lord, then Long Zhuang Shi, please go on the road with us to help the lord!" Hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Long Qi carefully and felt that this person should be a talent. Now his army is short of people. It is difficult for him to save people from Xiang Yu alone. Now there is one more person, so Lin Chen said to Long Qi.
"It turns out that it is Lord Lin. I have been admired for a long time and I don't know where Lu... the lord is now?" Long Qi originally wanted to call Lord Lu, but after thinking about it, Lin Chen had already asked him to join him at this time, and it would be a bit inappropriate to call Lord Lu again, so he changed his words and asked Lord Lu and said.
"I'll explain to you in detail later. You can go with us first. We have no time to delay here now." After hearing this, Lin Chen did not answer directly. After all, Lin Chen's main task was to rescue Lu Rui at this time. He had no time to delay here anymore. Let Long Qi join his command first, and just wait on the way to go, and explain slowly with Long Qi.
Long Qi knew that saving people was like putting out a fire when he heard this. Moreover, the next battle was a great opportunity to make contributions. Long Qi couldn't help but feel extremely excited when he thought of this. So he joined Lin Chen's team and led five thousand cavalry with Lin Chen to rescue Lu Rui.
"General, it's been 5 days. The brothers' physical strength has reached their limit these days. If this continues, the brothers really can't hold on for a few days. Judging from the current situation, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the brothers still have the strength to fight out together! Brothers will definitely be able to escort General Ziyun. As long as the general can leave here alive, we will not lose." In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. After all, Lu Rui is also a human being and not a god. No matter how fast the Carmine Red School is, it is impossible to rush to the road for twenty-four hours a day. It is impossible to reach here in three days. Therefore, Lu Rui has not arrived yet.
The white-robed ghost soldier is short of water and food at this time. If he can only rely on eating tree bark and eating weeds for a while, there is no way to lack water. If he doesn’t drink any water, the speed of thirst will definitely be faster than the speed of starving death. Being able to persist for five days without drinking a little water is already a very good thing for people. It has to be said that the white-robed ghost soldier is indeed much better than ordinary soldiers in all aspects. You should know that a normal person will be in danger of life if he doesn’t drink water for about three days.
Now, the white-robed ghost soldier is about to reach his limit. He continues to wait for the reinforcements that he will not know when he will arrive. It is better to take advantage of his and others' combat effectiveness when he and others still have combat effectiveness. After all, the possibility of reinforcements reaching is not very high before they lose their combat effectiveness.
"No, don't forget what our purpose is this time. We came here to assist the Jingzhou Legion in fighting against Wang Jian. Now we have not arrived at the Jingzhou battlefield. The cost of forcing a breakthrough now is too great. We have suffered heavy losses in the previous battle with Xiang Yu. We cannot wait for a lot of losses before arriving in Jingzhou. Otherwise, we white-robed ghost soldiers will really have no effect in the face of Wang Jian's army." Listening to the words of the white-robed ghost soldiers, Chen Qingzhi thought about it and shook his head. He is not facing Wang Jian's main army now. If we lose too many white-robed ghost soldiers here, then when we have to face the main force of Wang Jian's army, we are really willing but not capable.
After all, the number of troops in Wang Jian's army is several times the total of all the troops Lu Rui now has. With Wang Jian's ability to use troops, there are only two ways to defeat Wang Jian. One is to stick to the position and persevere until Li Jing returns. In terms of ability to use troops, only Li Jing is qualified to be Wang Jian's opponent. However, the length of this method is not the final word. In short, only one or two months. If it is long, anyone can say it in ten or eight years. After all, Li Shimin is not
What a small character to deal with. Another way is what Lu Rui said before: If you can use Yu Ji's ace to instigate Xiang Yu, then it will not be difficult to defeat Wang Jian. However, relatively speaking, this idea is very risky. If the second method fails, you must plan to make a protracted war. The white-robed ghost soldier has huge consumption here. When it comes to fighting a protracted war, Chen Qingzhi will probably only be able to become a so-called character.
"But general, if we wait like this, we will not even have the strength to resist in the end. Do we really have to wait to be beaten by Xiang Yu in one go when we all lose our combat power? If this is the case, we would rather not be born in this world. When will we be so cowardly, we can die, but we must not die so cowardly. General, we all respect you very much, but if you want us to die so cowardly, I'm sorry, we can't do it. As white-robed ghosts, we don't have the face to use this
A cowardly way of death, we would rather fight to the death." After hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, the white-robed ghost soldier was immediately anxious. The resentment accumulated during this period was completely erupted. As a white-robed ghost soldier, this is their pride. It is precisely because of the pride in their hearts that they would never allow themselves to end their lives in such a cowardly way of starving to death or being killed after losing their combat power due to hunger. In comparison, they would rather fight to the death, even if the final outcome did not change, at least they were not a coward.
"One day, waiting for a day, if the reinforcements have not come yet, then we will fight to the death. You are right, when have we been afraid of who we white-robed ghosts? Temujin did not scare us at the beginning, and Zhao Kuangyin did not scare us either. Now, Xiang Yu is also not qualified. If the reinforcements have not come yet, then we will fight to the death. Since we can't go out alive, then we will fight to the death."
After the words of the soldiers, Chen Qingzhi sighed, then stood up and said such words to the white-robed ghost soldiers around him. After all, the white-robed ghost soldiers no longer want to continue like this. If they continue to hold the air in their chests, Chen Qingzhi knew that it would have a counterproductive effect. This is not what Chen Qingzhi wanted to see. If he kept holding on like this, even if he could all leave here alive, there would inevitably be many adverse consequences in the subsequent battle.
However, from another perspective, Chen Qingzhi still wanted to wait for the arrival of rescue. Now, one day is the last limit he can fight for. In this situation, Chen Qingzhi can only delay one day. He only hopes that he is lucky to wait for rescue on the last day. If he is not lucky, then Chen Qingzhi can only think that his limit has come. In that case, he will fight vigorously at the last moment of his life! Let Xiang Yu see that he is not a useless scholar without any power.
"Okay, general is wise!" After hearing Chen Qingzhi's promise, a bloody flame suddenly ignited on the white-robed ghost soldiers around him. The white-robed ghost soldiers had been looking forward to this stop for a long time. Now, after hearing Chen Qingzhi's promise, how can they not be excited? Tomorrow, let them kill one.
"Huh, it's finally here. Fortunately, the system has guided me. Otherwise, I really can't find the exact location. Because the system's guidance has saved me a lot of time. Now Xiang Yu has surrounded Chen Qingzhi. Several days have passed. Chen Qingzhi and the others are afraid that they can't hold on anymore. It seems that they must find Xiang Yu as soon as possible. There is no time to delay here." After Lu Rui arrived at the destination, he carefully observed outside the military camp, then took a deep breath, and quickly rode the rouge and red blood to Xiang Yu's military camp. For people like Xiang Yu who are supreme in force, the best sincerity when meeting is to go straight and not make any small thoughts. Therefore, Lu Rui did not plan to play any tricks of secretly sneaking in, and just rushed in and lure Xiang Yu out alone.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Lu Rui took his furious dragon spear and came to the gate of Xiang Yu's military camp. After seeing Lu Rui, several soldiers immediately became alert and asked Lu Rui.
"Lu Rui from Xuzhou, I'm here to recruit General Xiang." Lu Rui said loudly to the soldiers guarding the gate without saying too much nonsense.
"Lu Rui? Xuzhou Mu Lu Rui? Brothers, come on me and take him down!" After hearing Lu Rui report to his house, a soldier in the leader immediately changed his face, but it was not a fear, but a greedy look. In his eyes, Lu Rui is a mountain of gold, representing his glory and wealth in the second half of his life. Regardless of whether the person in front of him is the real Lu Rui, anyway, it will not cause any loss to him after taking it down. Let's fight first.
"Hmph! Overestimate one's ability!" Seeing this, Lu Rui couldn't help but snorted coldly. He hadn't taken action for too long. Just a few soldiers were so disrespectful to him. He could indeed not beat Xiang Yu, but it was still possible to deal with these just a dozen soldiers guarding the gate. When the dozen soldiers rushed forward, the Furious Dragon Spear quickly waved and stabbed the four soldiers in front directly.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." After a few rounds, the dozen soldiers had been thrown over to the ground by Lu Rui. It was Lu Rui's men who showed mercy. Otherwise, Lu Rui would have sent these dozen soldiers to the West long ago. After all, he came here alone this time, so it would be better not to touch Xiang Yu's bottom line too much.
"I advise you not to try to test my patience. This time I came to discuss with General Xiang Yu for something. If you dare to stop me, I don't mind killing me. Although I can't beat General Xiang, I can still kill you before he comes. If you delay big things, I really want to know how many heads you have to afford to lose the consequences of delaying big things." Lu Rui's tone was very cold. He was not a good temper at first. On the contrary, he has always been a cruel and ruthless person. He would never be merciful when he should kill. Now he is very patient to say these words to these soldiers.
"Yeah!" Feeling the murderous aura on Lu Rui's body, the soldiers dared not delay at all. One of the soldiers got up without saying a word and left. After a while, he found Xiang Yu.
"General, no, there is a boy who looks not old. He calls himself Lu Rui and says he has something to see the general. The brothers originally wanted to arrest him, but this guy is still capable. Brothers have no choice but to ask him to go and have a look!" After the soldier found Xiang Yu, he said to Xiang Yu.
"Lu Rui? He is so brave. He actually dared to find this place and ask me to meet him!" After hearing the words Lu Rui, Xiang Yu was stunned at first, and then anger burst out directly. After saying a word, he picked up his tiger-headed dragon halberd and rushed towards the gate.
"General, wait for me!" Xiang Yu was so fast that the soldier couldn't catch up at all, so he could only try his best to follow behind.
