"Your Highness, I will never repay your kindness with my life! I regard the siege of Xiazhou as my own! If we cannot defeat the enemy and relieve the siege, I will accept military punishment and die on the battlefield without regrets!"
He suddenly stood up, turned to the thousands of soldiers below the stage, and with a "swish" drew the embroidered spring sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword directly to the southwest:
"Soldiers! The Yang family of Xijing, while the Grand Commander is in Longyou, has invaded our territory and laid siege to Xiazhou! Can we agree to this?"
"No! No! No!"
The thunderous response made the flags on the platform flutter.
"good!"
Lin Feng's beard and hair stood on end as he roared, "Then follow me. With the swords in our hands, we will tell those who offend our Great Yin that they will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Set off!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
The army marched out like a giant steel beast awakening.
Xi Sheng, carrying the terrifying Mo Dao, walked at the front of the team and grinned at Li Mao, who was riding on a horse beside him.
"Xiao Li, did you see that? The morale of our men is so high! This time we're going to kill him with ease!"
Li Mao nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the long line of troops, and whispered, "General Xi, the morale is acceptable, but Yang Fan is no mediocre person, and the 30,000 Xijing troops are no rabble."
"Commander-in-Chief Lin has always been known for his steadiness in employing his troops. We must carefully follow his orders and not rush into anything rash."
Xi Sheng waved his hands nonchalantly: "I know, I know! I'll just follow your orders! But when we charge into battle, don't try to steal the credit from me!"
At the same time, the vanguard Du Wei had already received the order and led 2,000 Yanzhou infantry and cavalry, like an arrow from a bow, stirring up a sky full of dust, and rushed towards Xiazhou first.
They are the vanguard and spearhead of the army, responsible for clearing obstacles and scouting the enemy situation. Every step is related to the safety of the main army.
On the top of the city wall, Yinji looked at the smoke and dust that gradually receded, sighed softly, and said to Han Zhong beside him:
"Han Sima, Lin Feng is prudent, Li Mao is brave, Xi Sheng is meticulous, and Du Wei is swift. These four generals complement each other and may be able to take on this important task."
"I'm just worried... Xiazhou City has a small army. I wonder if they can hold out until our reinforcements arrive."
Han Zhong looked confident:
"Your Highness, Captain Tong Gu is the Grand Commander's choice to defend Xiazhou. We must also trust Captain Tong's ability!"
"At this moment, we need to stabilize the rear, ensure the supply of food, fodder and weapons, and be vigilant against any movements by the Tartars and Feng Dynasty."
"kindness......"
