Chapter 9 Chaoshiling
In a military machine room in the main mansion of White Night City.
With a crack, General Manager Lei slapped the table next to him and scolded angrily, "What are you talking about!? Lin Xiao actually broke all the drugs I brought to you?
There was a soldier standing in front of General Manager Lei. When he saw General Lei's angry, he knelt down and replied, "Go back to General Manager, Lin Xiao did destroy all the drugs in front of me, and let me tell the General Manager that he would rather die in pain than take medicine!"
General Lei was furious just now, but now he calmed down. He waved his hand and motioned the soldier to retreat.
When the soldier left the room, Hou Zhan turned out from behind the screen and looked very ugly. "It's been nine days in a blink of an eye. Is that guy Lin Xiao made of steel? How can it last until now?"
General Lei was also puzzled. He rubbed his dry right hand, thought for a moment, and snorted coldly, "Since he wants to hold on, I'll let him hold on and see who can survive!"
After he said, he looked up at Hou Zhan, "How's the training of Leidan Camp?"
When it comes to military training, Hou Zhan returned to his usual coldness. "After a month of special training, these guys have barely been able to be regarded as elite soldiers."
General Manager Lei nodded, "That's good. Go back and prepare, pass the order, and tomorrow the whole Leidan camp will enter the Longmian Mountains!"
Hou Zhan hesitated and said, "Don't you need to wait a few more days to see Lin Xiao's reaction?"
Mr. Lei replied coldly, "No, let him go with us. I will personally supervise him and see what medicine is sold in his gourd!"
In the next morning, the weather was clear and cloudless. One hundred officers and soldiers of the thunderbolt battalion lined up and waited on the Wuliu campus. Everyone was dressed in armor, carrying bags, holding weapons, dressed neatly, and waiting for Hou Zhan's order.
At this time, an extremely embarrassed figure appeared at the entrance of the school yard. Lin Xiao's hair spread out, wearing a casual leather armor, carrying a knife and a sword on his back, and came over weakly.
Lin Xiao came to Hou Zhan, boxed his chest, made a military salute, and then said weakly, "Lin Xiao came to report."
Hou Zhan stared at Lin Xiao carefully for a moment, trying to confirm whether the tired look on Lin Xiao's face was pretending. In the end, he didn't see any flaws, so he snorted coldly and let Lin Xiao return to the position of leading the team to lead the team.
Lin Xiao had just returned to the team and stood up. Under Hou Zhan's order, more than 100 people quickly packed up all their clothes and lined up in a huge queue out of the barracks.
At the gate of Yingzhai, General Manager Lei sat on a shoulder raised by four strong men with a small sunshade with cowhide on his head. The whole person was wrapped in a black cloak, and his eyes looked coldly at the gallbladder soldiers coming out of the camp one after another.
When he saw Lin Xiao also coming out with the crowd, General Manager Lei suddenly said to a messenger beside him, "Call Lin Xiao here."
The messenger went out, and a moment later led the weak Lin Xiao over.
"The last general will meet General Lei!" Now in the army, everything has to follow the military rules. Lin Xiao held his fists and saluted his subordinates in front of General Manager Lei.
General Manager Lei carefully stared at Lin Xiaoliang for a long time. It was not until he confirmed that his weakness was not pretended that he slowly said, "Deputy Commander Lin, I heard that you have been having a headache at night and it is difficult to sleep. Is there such a problem?"
Hearing that General Manager Lei pretended to be stupid, Lin Xiao cursed in his heart, but still replied respectfully, "Try to the General Manager, it's true!"
"Then why did you refuse to accept it when I sent someone to send you medicine to relieve the pain?"
Lin Xiao snorted coldly in his heart. If I had taken your medicine, I would have returned to the west long ago! But on the surface, he remained calm, but replied in a weak tone: "The chief, I went to see the doctor the next day. The doctor said that the headache was due to the loss of the soul and should not be treated with drugs. The general manager is grateful for the kindness of the medicine, but he dares not disobey the doctor's advice.
Mr. Lei said with a smile, "In this case, is Deputy Commander Lin going to survive all the time?"
"I'm a soldier. This pain is nothing!" Lin Xiao pretended to be strong.
"You!" The thunderbolt laughed angrily, "Okay! Deputy Commander Lin is really heroic! I hope you can win the first battle for us in the Longmian Mountains! Let's go!"
Four soldiers left behind the Leidan Battalion with their shoulders on their shoulders. General Manager Lei sat on his shoulders, his eyes closed slightly, and said coldly in his heart, "Do you pretend to be a good man with me? Then I will fulfill your wish. Don't want the medicine these days. I'll see how long you can last!"
Lin Xiao saw General Lei and his personal guards leave behind, stretched out his right hand and touched his nose, and smiled secretly, "Huh, Lao Baozi, if you dare to plot with me, you can't guess that I have recovered!" I will play with you and let you suffer a big loss sooner or later!"
A team of people marched quickly and finally reached the periphery of the Rock Ridge before sunset.
Ranshiling is a mountainous area outside the Longmian Mountains and a key place to enter the Longmian Mountains. Some branches of the savage tribes in the deep mountains of the Longmian Mountains have come out of the mountains and settled here. There are also some horse bandits and outlaws and outlaws exiled from the State of Yan and the State of Chu, specializing in robbing caravans entering and leaving the Longmian Mountains, and capturing and raising savage slaves, and transporting them to big cities in various countries for sale.
This highland is full of blood and killing, which is very dangerous. White Night City has organized several actions to encircle and suppress horse bandits and barbarians, but because this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, each encirclement and suppression operation has failed and has little effect.
In the evening, a large amount of fog began to appear on the mountains, permeating the whole highland. Looking from the distance from the highlands, there are many fires on the highlands. Within the scope of the light, many simple houses and tents can be faintly seen. And from time to time, some people's hissing voices came from.
At night, General Manager Lei, Lin Xiao, Hou Zhan and several ten captains gathered together and held a simple military meeting.
"Everyone said, how to cross this rocky mountain?" The hoarse voice of General Thunder sounded.
Everyone's eyes turned to Hou Zhan. After all, he is the commander of this trip.
"Skis it through!" Hou Zhan waved his hand, "The elite of our hundred people, as long as we draw a straight line and pass through the weak places of the rocks. Coupled with the night attack, the enemy can't defend against it. It only takes us half an hour to enter the Longmian Mountains.
"Farm!" Lin Xiao scolded before everyone could react.
Lin Xiao actually dared to scold the commander openly. Several ten captains were nervous and couldn't help looking at Hou Zhan and didn't know what his reaction was.
Hou Zhan's face turned pale, "What did you just say?"
Lin Xiao pressed his head with his right hand and pretended to have a headache. After taking a few breaths of cold air, Lin Xiao shouted in a weak voice: "I said you fart. Do you think we are all cavalry? If a hundred people want to pierce each other's defense, the enemy will do nothing. Just hiding in the distance and shooting arrows can turn each of us into hedgehogs.
Although several ten captains felt that Lin Xiao's tone was a little harsh, they still nodded secretly. They had fought with the horse bandits and savages on the rocks several times. Unlike Hou Zhan, who did not know the situation of the rocks, they really wanted to dig through the rocks. The 100 people of their walking army were not enough to die. "
After Lin Xiao's scolding just now, Hou Zhan also suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of empiricism. Although he was a partial general in the imperial palace and full of conceited theory, his actual experience in commanding the battle could be counted with a slap. Theory and practice are completely decoupled. Just now, when he saw the terrain of the Rock Ridge, he suddenly remembered the tactics chiseled in the heavy cavalry, but forgot that there was no heavy cavalry in the White Night City!
But knowing the mistake, it was another thing to lose face. Lin Xiao scolded himself in public, which made Hou Zhan suddenly become very difficult to come down and his face was tense. If it had been according to his previous temper, he would have killed Lin Xiao. But not now. Lin Xiao is a puppet that General Manager Lei is subduing. He can't hurt Lin Xiao in front of General Manager Lei. Hou Zhan thought of this, his hands clenched, and his knuckles were white. Obviously, he is suppressing his anger.
Lin Xiao covered his forehead and sneered. Hou Zhan's face turned pale. The ten captains didn't help anyone. They simply shut up, so the meeting fell into an impasse.
In the end, General Manager Lei opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere, "Lin Xiao is reasonable, so you mentioned your idea, how can we cross this area?"
Hou Zhan did not forget to add coldly: "You'd better come up with a feasible solution, or I will treat you for insulting your boss!"
Lin Xiao coldly glanced at Hou Zhan, suddenly covered his head, and began to pretend to have a headache again. There was a series of inexplicable low roars in his throat. Hou Zhan and General Manager Lei looked at each other and knew what was going on and did not make a sound. Those ten captains all heard that Lin Xiao had suffered from a headache recently and did not ask much about the reason.
After a while, Lin Xiao's "headache" recovered. He stretched out his right hand, first clenched his fist, and then loosened it into five fingers.
Those ten chiefs were honed in an army with Lin Xiao and immediately understood. One of them asked, "Is it turned into zero?"
Lin Xiao's face was pale, nodded, and then said weakly, "We divided into a pair of five people, dive into the rocks, and then act by ourselves. After crossing the rocks, we will make peace at the designated place."
"Huh, be smart. Once the troops are dispersed, won't our strength be weakened? And it's divided into 20 groups. What if you get separated? Hou Zhan took the opportunity to satirize Lin Xiao to regain some face.
