Chapter 4 The Battle of Marufen
Mo Qilin is powerful, and it flew much faster than Aiming's sword-moving. In the end, Aiming waited for the four sisters impatiently and told Lan Ruo to fly away first. The girls could understand this, and at most they complained. The four sisters had just learned to fly with swords, but they were not fast, and they were all supported by Lan Ruo. Now Aiming didn't know what happened to the Black Tiger Manor, so he was naturally anxious and couldn't wait for them.
Ai Ming was afraid of disturbing the pedestrians, so he landed the Mo Qilin in a remote place outside the Tielu Castle and entered the Tielu Castle alone. The Mo Qilin was a natural divine beast. Ai Ming followed the teachings of the ancient Tianpeng and had already communicated with Mo Qilin in his heart, so he didn't have to consider losing the Mo Qilin.
"Oh, my Lord, why are you calling me back so quickly?" Ai Ming walked into Ji Tieshan's study casually. He had just quietly circled around the Lord's Mansion. Seeing that there was no danger, when he came to Ji Tieshan's study, he was sitting there in Ji Tieshan drinking coffee leisurely. Then he felt relieved and thought someone was joking about him.
When Ji Tieshan saw Ai Ming coming in, he stood up from the chair and said, "Oh, my big owner, you are back. Sit down quickly. Everyone is discussing things." Ji Tieshan's sad face was almost able to squeeze out the tears.
"What's really wrong?" Ai Ming looked at everyone unexpectedly.
Everyone nodded and Xiao Yun said, "Master Wen, according to reliable information, the special envoy from the capital was assassinated in Tango." Tango is a medium-sized city in Boze Province, and is still some distance from Tielu Fort.
"Assassinate it, just assassinate it, just send another one, what does it have to do with us?" Ai Ming was a little confused. Wasn't he just a special envoy killed? He wasn't he killed on his own territory, so why are he so nervous?
"I don't do anything about us, but the spy came to report that the tango coroner found a torn document when he was cleaning up the envoy's body. The coroner looked at it curiously and saw that the document stated that our city lord Ji was reported, saying that he had embezzled and bribed, and was going to undergo quarantine and check."
"Oh?" Ai Ming looked at Ji Tieshan, and Ji Tieshan was smiling bitterly at him. To be honest, Ji Tieshan is really a corrupt official, and it is normal for someone to report it. "So have you discussed the result?"
"What else can I do? The capital will send special envoys, but it will not be sent out in a short while. We have time to destroy the evidence. Don't worry, isn't it just an isolation inspection? I can bear it." Ji Tieshan said something. He was not afraid of any isolation inspection, but Ai Ming and others were afraid of dumping him. To be honest, he was just a small city lord of Tielu Fort, an official with Sesame. With Ai Ming's financial resources, he could immediately win over the new city lord after the Xincheng Lord took office. In that case, he would be useless to them. The most terrible thing is that he knew too much. If Ai Ming was cruel and did not want to be in love, he would have no place to tell him or her.
No, I always feel that something is wrong. Ai Ming closed his eyes and frowned and pondered for a long time. "Why don't we go against it?" Ai Ming said slowly while thinking.
"Rebel? How can this work?" Xiao Yun shouted in surprise. Although he will rebel sooner or later, it is definitely not the time. The Black Tiger Army is very weak now, with only 30,000 troops and horses, and the weapons and other objects are not fully equipped, and all preparations are not prepared. Now, it is purely seeking death. What's more, it's just an isolation and inspection to Lao Ji, so there is no need to do this, right?
"No," Ai Ming's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he said slowly: "There is no airtight wall in the world. The changes in Tielu Castle over the past six months cannot be hidden from those who are interested. Do you think that a mere case of corruption in the lord of Tielu Castle requires the special envoy to come in person? I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not in the bar?"
After Ai Mingyi finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that it was right, something was wrong. In fact, none of us were benzene people, but we were just people in chess and were blinded.
"If you don't rebel now, you will probably have no chance in the future. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to have a chance to make a fortune, and it's not in vain for everyone. Don't worry, this Tielu Fort is not a good place. If you fail, just find another good place to start over, haha." Finally, Ai Minggu laughed relaxedly. In fact, how could he laugh? He was feeling bitter. Think about it, after investing so much money in Tielu Fort, now that it's time to fight, I'm afraid it's all was wasted?
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Their resolute expression almost made Ai Ming laugh. What's going on? Isn't it just a game? Is it necessary to be so nervous? But he forgot that in the past, the turbulent rain was actually his life; for Ji Tieshan, if he failed, there would be no chance to turn over.
Everyone spent the next days busy, and there were too many things to prepare, and time was tight. Even a lazy person like Ai Ming had to start. In just half a month, Tielu Fort turned into a war machine. Of course, all this was carried out in secret.
First of all, the legion problem is the best. Finally, when most people overwhelm the minority, the legion has a name, called "Black Tiger Legion", which made Ai Ming very dissatisfied. He originally hoped to call the legion "Skeleton Army", which was so murderous. The military flag was also confirmed, and it was made by the best painter in Tielu Fort. A black tiger was painted on the rectangular red flag and became a military flag. In addition, Ai Ming's opinion, the ugly thing is, the ugly thing is.
Then the position was determined, and this issue could only be worrying about Ji Tieshan. Finally, after some twists and turns, it was finally confirmed. As the biggest investor, Ai Ming naturally became the marshal of the Black Tiger Legion, and gave a nice name called "General Qilin", and then the Chief of General Staff Ji Tieshan, with the title of lieutenant colonel, and the "Tiance Military Advisor"; there were also major-level "General Tianma" Xiao Yun, "General Tiansheng" Liu Fengyun, "General Tianlong" Chen Zhu, "General Tianxing" Deng Tao, and "General Rock" Howard; George became the captain of the Magician Brigade, with the title of captain; the lieutenant had four sisters Dongmei; and the following were outstanding talents selected from the Black Tiger Legion, who served as cannon fodder on the front line of the legion, and the highest level was the sergeant.
Someone asked, it was only an army of 30,000 people, and so many generals were brought. In fact, according to the military code formulated by Ji Tieshan, only the major general level could have their own independent names. But now the Black Tiger Legion is in the forge ahead. In order to make a name, a group of generals were specially appointed. Oh, I almost forgot that as Ai Ming's wife, Lan Ruo was not idle either. Since she was the most powerful among the people, everyone discussed for a long time and called her the "Saint of God's Will" and was considered the Saint of the Black Tiger Legion. Lan Ruo felt it was very fun and accepted it happily. As for the question that everyone who was called "Saint" in the outside world was a pure virgin, Ai Ming's opinion was that there was no need to pay too much attention to the new army and new atmosphere.
Then there is the distribution of the army. The 30,000 troops said that there were not many more and less, but it still took a lot of trouble to allocate them. In the end, the 30,000 people were divided into three armies. The central army was 15,000, commanded by Ai Ming, under the command of Lan Ruo, Ji Tieshan, and Xia Zhu; the 5,000 vanguard army, under the command of Xiao Yun, under the command of Howard, under the command of Liu Fengyun; the latter army was 10,000, commanded by Chen Zhu, under the command of Deng Tao and George. Of course, these 30,000 were just combat troops, and the Black Tiger Legion was still close.
There is a logistics force of 10,000 people, these people are commanded by Dongmei, and under the jurisdiction of the medical brigade commanded by Chunlan, the material transportation brigade commanded by Qiuju, and the Fengyi squadron with more than 1,000 people under her command. At the same time, Qiuju is also in charge of the operation and dispatch of funds and materials for the entire army. It should be noted that the Fengyi squadron was personally selected and trained by the four sisters who were usually bored and personally selected and trained from the female slaves in the Black Tiger Manor. It can be said that it is heroic and a beautiful scenery of the Black Tiger Legion.
In addition to combat troops and logistics troops, the Black Tiger Legion also has many affiliated institutions, such as the Black Tiger Legion Intelligence Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Black Tiger Legion), the Black Tiger Legion Commercial Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Black Commerce Bureau), etc., so I will not describe them one by one here.
It took half a month to prepare everything. To be honest, it was a bit difficult. Even if the general framework of the Black Tiger Legion had been formed before the formal establishment of the legion, it was basically successfully formed with everyone's efforts.
There was not much time left for the Black Tiger Legion because there was news that the capital had sent a special envoy again, and the goal was the same as before. In this way, Ai Ming and others decided to take action first. Even if it was very reluctant, they could not delay it anymore. They must open up a base before the Yasi Empire was dealt with.
Where should I fight first? This question is hardly considered. Of course, it is Marufen City, which is separated from Tielu Fort. The reason for it is Marufen City is very simple, because Marufen City is not only a medium-sized city, but also a larger area than Tielu Fort. More importantly, it is a military city and is located in a basin. It is surrounded by mountains. Only two levels can be accessed from east to west. Moreover, these two levels are easy to defend and difficult to attack. For the Black Tiger Legion, as long as it occupys Marufen City, there will be a chance to breathe.
"Start..." Ai Ming threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground with a "slap" and shouted heroically.
"Woo..." The team made a trembling call. Xiao Yun, Howard and others also threw the wine bowl, pressed their right hand in a circle to their hearts, saluted, then turned around and shouted at the soldiers under the platform: "Set out..."
"We will win... we will win..." The soldiers shouted excitedly, and walked proudly and proudly towards the west gate of Marufen Castle.
Ai Ming was very moved. From the time he first entered the game, he was just a small soldier to commanding thousands of troops now, it is a miracle. But this miracle may be just a moment. This expedition is crucial, and success or failure is the first step.
"Report... our army's vanguard arrived at the border of Marfin City."
"Report... our army's vanguard will occupy the west pass of Marufen Castle."
In just three hours, the messenger had already brought surprise to Ai Ming at the small teleportation point.
"Okay, order the forward to continue moving forward and strive to conquer Dongguan in the shortest time." Ai Ming stood up excitedly and smiled at Ji Tieshan.
"Order the Central Army to set sail and enter the west gate of Marufen Castle." A series of orders echoed in the Central Army's tent.
Xiguan, you are mine. Ai Ming looked up at the tall city wall of Xiguan and turned to Ji Tieshan and said, "Old Ji, how about you tell me that we will change Xiguan to the name?"
"What to change?" Ji Tieshan asked with a smile.
"What about the first pass?"
"Good name." Ji Tieshan smiled and thought, "What a bullshit name, no culture."
"Mess under the mercenary see the marshal." At this time, after the guards' notice, a strong man covered in clothes appeared in front of Ai Ming, knelt on one knee, and gave a knight salute.
"General Meisi, please come up quickly. Our Black Tiger Army will not kowtow. You will just stand and talk in the future." When Ai Ming saw the big man, he quickly got off the mo Qilin, helped the big man up, and said kindly. Then he patted the big man on the shoulder and said in an admiring tone: "Thank you for your hard work, General, you can be considered a great contribution to the Black Tiger Army."
Meisi stood up and took a step back and said respectfully: "Thank you, Marshal, for the praise, this is what the young player should do."
"Okay, okay." Ai Ming nodded and said, "Go in and take a look." After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Chujie Pass. Everyone hurriedly followed. Mei Si whispered to Ai Ming's situation. His words were full of pride. He was very familiar with every tree and every tree here. No wonder Mei Si has been a city defense officer at Chujie Pass for more than a hundred years, and of course he has a lot of feelings for it.
Speaking of this, I believe everyone understands that the reason why the Black Tiger Army can quickly win the First Victory Pass without any effort is the spy Meisi. As early as decades ago, Ji Tieshan had deliberately begun to win over Meisi. The reason why Ji Tieshan wanted to win over Meisi was completely an instinctive reaction, but now, this has produced fruitful results.
A good place, Ai Ming nodded while looking. This place is much stronger than Tielu Fort. Not only is the city high and the walls solid, but the terrain is more dangerous. More importantly, as long as you occupy this place, you will be sure to deal with the difficult environment in the future.
"Report to the marshal, the entire army has been replaced." At this time, a second lieutenant ran over and saluted.
Ai Ming nodded, very happy. Because the uprising was very hasty, the Black Tiger Army had not prepared all the equipment. What he hoped was to get all the missing equipment at one time after the first pass was captured.
"Report to the marshal, our vanguard ran back." At this time, a sergeant ran over in panic and shouted loudly.
"What?" Ai Ming and others looked at each other, not knowing what happened. "You say it again." I remember that the order he gave Xiao Yun was that he would rest on the spot after occupying the East Pass of Marufen City, so why did he run back?
"This, this is just running back." Sergeant Qiqiai Ai whispered.
"Go out and take a look." Ai Ming and others walked quickly outside the pass. Before they could even walk out of the pass, they were surprised to see many vanguard soldiers with short arms and short legs swarming in from the pass. They looked embarrassed and looked like they were embarrassed, they must have lost the battle.
"Where is General Xiao and General Howard?" Ai Ming grabbed a vanguard soldier who ran around like a headless fly and asked.
"I don't know, I didn't see it." The soldier said with a silence at Ai Ming. It took him a long time to remember to salute Ai Ming and added: "Report to the Marshal."
Don't know? What is this? Ai Ming looked at the soldier in annoyance, so angry that he couldn't speak.
"General Xiao is back." Someone shouted, and Ai Ming and others hurriedly ran to the place where they were calling. Sure enough, Xiao Yun was sitting on the horse with a big knife, and was about to fall to the ground.
Ai Ming hurriedly flew over, hugged Xiao Yun down, and asked anxiously: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Xiao Yun leaned on Ai Ming and shook his head gently, opened his dry lips and whispered: "I'm fine, go and save Howard."
Ai Ming looked at Xiao Yun for a while and saw that he had suffered only a little bit of injury, but he was just a little exhausted. He nodded and handed Xiao Yun to Ji Tieshan's arms. He roared and called Mo Qilin, shouting loudly: "First Division of the Central Army follows me." After that, he pulled out the Shenlong Feifeng and slapped the Mo Qilin. Mo Qilin stepped on the auspicious clouds, soared into the air, and flew towards the East Pass of Wanfen City.
Mo Qilin flew so fast. In just a quarter of an hour, Ai Ming saw many people and horses fighting each other in the city of Dongguan from afar. But when he looked back, he found that there was not even a single shadow in his so-called Central Army First Division. Alas, Mo Qilin flew too fast, and the First Division did not know where to gather.
There was no need to wait, Ai Ming roared and rushed to the battlefield. Before Ai Ming could fly to the battlefield, the soldiers in Marufen City East Pass were frightened, to be precise, their mounts were frightened. Thinking that the Mo Qilin was born with a divine beast, the king of all beasts, there was a majesty there. The cavalry of the Dongguan were just ordinary horses. How could they compete with Mo Qilin? I heard a few "Snow...Liu Liu" sounds. The horses were all soft and numb and knelt on the ground. They could not get up, and even the soldiers riding on them were thrown off.
"Kill..." Ai Ming waved the dragon flying maple and saw countless bright white maple leaves flying out of its blade. Wherever the maple leaves passed, the soldiers of Dongguan fell a large area like straw cut by a sickle.
"Howard, where are you?" Ai Ming yelled, waving the dragon flying maple. Wherever he went, blood flew around and limbs were all over the ground.
"What about this?" Howard heard the shouting and started shouting.
When Ai Ming saw that Howard was not far from him, and there were more than a hundred vanguard soldiers around him. Howard was in extreme embarrassment at this time. His armor was broken, covered in blood, and he didn't know where to go. The horses under him were probably killed long ago, only his huge axe was still shining with cold light, and he was careless about human life.
Ai Ming and Howard met together, and Ai Ming asked with concern: "Howard, are you okay?"
Howard cracked his mouth, shook his head, and said sadly: "I'm fine, I just died a lot of brothers." He really felt sorry for him. All these soldiers were taught by him, but now so many of them have died.
Ai Ming had nothing to say, and he only concentrated on waving the dragon Feifeng and rushed out with Howard. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet in his ears. The soldiers surrounding Ai Ming and others retreated like a tide. It turned out that Dongguan had withdrawn their troops. They had to withdraw their troops. The soldiers in Dongguan were already beaten to death by Ai Ming. The three-pointed and two-edged sword in Ai Ming's hand was as terrifying as a devil's sickle in their eyes. The soldiers could not get close to Ai Ming at all, so they were beaten to cry and call their parents. It would be better to say that they were surrounding Ai Ming and others. Ai Ming went further and they took a step back and did not dare to get close at all.
Finally it was over. Ai Mingyao looked at the soldiers who retreated to Dongguan, feeling annoyed. Unexpectedly, before he fought, he lost his troops and was defeated. He was extremely disappointed. Hey, what was that? Ai Ming looked up at him and saw a black barrel stretching out from the top of Dongguan city and aimed at him.
The magic crystal cannon, Ai Ming was shocked, and quickly mentioned Howard, urged the Mo Qilin to fly into the air.
"Boom..." With a mountain sound, the shock waves blowing the black qilin floated back and forth in the air. When Ai Ming calmed down and looked, he saw a deep pit appearing where he was standing just now. The soldiers around who had no time to dodge were also beaten by the magic crystal cannon and their limbs were flying all over the sky.
What a powerful magic crystal cannon, this is the first time Ai Ming has seen a magic crystal cannon show its power. Although there are several magic crystal cannons in Tielu Fort, the power of the field cannon is incomparable to the city defense cannon.
"Haha...ha, thief, see what this is." Just when Ai Ming was still in shock, he suddenly heard someone shouting on the city wall. When he looked up, he saw a stalk raised high on the top of the city, and a round thing hung on the top of the stalk.
What? Ai Ming looked at it and found that it was a human head. Who did you? You don’t know it.
"Brothers of Reed." Howard cried bitterly, tears falling like rain. Reed is the adjutant of the city defense of Dongguan and the inner supporter of the Black Tiger Army. It seems that he is not lucky and has been discovered and killed. Howard and Reed have had many years of friendship, and naturally he was very sad when he saw that Reed was killed.
"Don't be sad, don't worry, we will definitely avenge this hatred." Ai Ming also choked and said, no matter how he said it was his own person, and it was unreasonable to not cry.
Howard cried and took out his telescope, wanting to take a closer look at Reid's head in the end. He held the telescope for a long time, put down the telescope, and stopped crying. He turned his head and scratched his head in confusion and asked, "That head is not Reid, it seems to be Dilison, how could it be?" Dilison was the defense officer of Dongguan City.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison: "They killed the wrong person."
Chapter completed!
