Chapter 153 Beast Control
As soon as the old man left, Duobu arrived. He volunteered to be the commander-in-chief and planned to serve as the vanguard.
Duobu said, "Sir, the first battle is of great importance. Duobu is willing to serve you at all costs!"
Lu Chenyang nodded: "Okay, you will be the commander in the first battle!"
Duobu was not surprised, because now Lu Chenyang had no one else available, and he was the best choice to be the head coach.
A day later, the belated Nanyang army arrived in Yanquan County.
The Nanyang Army had suffered a heavy loss along the way, and they were desperate to get back at their old self. So, almost as soon as they reached Yanquan County, Zhang Tong decided to attack.
"Brothers! That yellow-haired brat Lu Chenyang only dares to use despicable means to deal with our Nanyang Army. Now, let's fight them with real swords and guns to let them know the power of our Nanyang Army!" Zhang Tong came to encourage morale before launching the attack.
These words resonated with everyone, who had been pent up for some time. If you were to fight them on the battlefield with real weapons, they would accept it even if they couldn't beat you.
But look at what they've been through during this time! First the traps, then the bees. Who could be more miserable than them?
It’s not that they are not capable, they are just not as despicable as Lu Chenyang!
Zhang Tong comforted the soldiers in this way, and the soldiers believed it. Yes, they are not incapable, they must prove themselves!
Everyone was full of fighting spirit and wanted to go to the battlefield to fight and avenge their grievances.
The Nanyang army was holding their breath, eager to seek revenge, and their morale was high.
But the morale of the Dongyi army is their determination to protect their homeland.
They never thought that one day they would help the Han people fight, but every one of them was willing to do so.
They and Lu Chenyang - yes, until now, all of their tribesmen believed that this peace talk was a peace talk between the Dongyi people and Lu Chenyang. After signing the peace terms, the lives of the Dongyi people became much better.
They could go out to do business, and the cunning Han people did not dare to deceive them because Lu Chenyang did not allow it. Lu Chenyang provided them with a lot of medicinal materials and even opened a school for their children so that their children could go to school.
They are willing to fight for Lu Chenyang.
When the two sides meet, even if they are short of numbers, they can make up for it with conspiracy.
Lu Chenyang asked the old man to predict the weather, and then before the fight, he used a wave of sleeping pills and then a wave of bees, trying every possible means.
Zhang Tong was so angry that he cursed Lu Chenyang for being despicable and shameless.
Lu Chenyang was in the tent. When he heard the sound coming from outside, he nodded repeatedly.
Yes, yes, yes, he is despicable and shameless, as long as he can win.
Zhao Xi was so angry that someone actually insulted his master like this! Her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Zhao Xi was in a bad mood, and the whole military camp was filled with caution.
The Dongyi army respected Zhao Xi even more than the garrison troops, fearing that they would anger her.
Even Lu Chenyang knew about this and hurriedly called Zhao Xi to comfort her.
"I'm fine, be good, don't be angry. They scold me because they are incompetent." Lu Chenyang comforted softly.
Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes: "Sir, I have another medicine, I think..."
Lu Chenyang said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is fine. I'll have people do it and give it all to them. Don't be angry."
Zhao Xi still said aggrievedly: "How can they scold the adults like this? The adults are so kind!"
Lu Chenyang thought for a moment and said, "How about I curse back?"
Zhao Xi's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily, determined to get this out.
In order to appease the little maid, Lu Chenyang personally wrote an article to specifically criticize Zhang Tong and the Nanyang Army for their incompetence.
Lu Chenyang fully demonstrated his literary talent, writing an abusive article with quotations from classics, flourishes, and brilliant writing style, the kind that will be passed down through the ages.
Then a man with a loud voice was sent to the two armies to read it aloud.
To be honest, the insults were too cultural and many people didn't understand them.
But Zhang Tong understood, and at this moment Zhang Tong hated himself very much for being so educated.
His deputy general even asked him, "What are they babble about? They're quibbling over words."
Zhang Tong gave him a blank look. How could he tell him that those were insults? At that moment, he suddenly envied this deputy general. It was really good to be uneducated.
Zhou Lin was the type who was eager to learn. When he heard Lu Chenyang's article, he just cursed out all the anger in his heart. A model essay, it had to be a model essay!
He immediately copied it down and sent it to the school in the city, asking the students to memorize it and study it carefully.
Students: “…”
There was still a war going on outside, but their county magistrate was still asking them to endorse it.
This article made Zhang Tong angry and caused suffering to the students, and played a very important role.
In the first charge, the Dongyi Army gritted their teeth and held on tightly against the army of King Nanyang. The two sides fought for a whole day. Finally, the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were on the verge of collapse, and Zhang Tong had to call off the troops.
The earth was dyed red with blood, and the strong smell of blood lingered for a long time. The Dongyi army held on in this battle, but it was still tragic.
The barracks were filled with the cries of wounded soldiers, and the city's inhabitants came to help care for the wounded. Fortunately, the city had plenty of medicinal materials, so Lu Chenyang spared no expense in treating the wounded.
Lu Chenyang felt a little heavy-hearted. This was only the first battle. He knew that the Nanyang Army would soon launch a second attack.
Duobu also thought of it at this time. He walked into Lu Chenyang's tent and came to say goodbye.
Lu Chenyang was slightly surprised: "Back to the rain forest?"
Duobu nodded and said, "Sir, we must hurry and make full preparations before the Nanyang Army has rested. We need to find external aid." After a pause, he said meaningfully, "The external aid is in the rain forest."
Lu Chenyang was puzzled, but he was willing to believe Duobu and agreed immediately.
Duobu smiled and asked, "Sir, aren't you afraid that I might escape in the middle of the battle?"
Lu Chenyang was speechless, but he still said seriously: "I never doubt the brothers who fight alongside me."
These words do sound sweet, but Lu Chenyang really thinks so.
The Dongyi army fought bravely and refused to yield. How heartless would he be to suspect that many of them were afraid of fighting? Isn't that disheartening?
Duobu's eyes flashed, and he said happily, "Sir, please trust us. We will definitely win this battle for you!"
After saying this, Duobu turned around and left. He wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Lu Chenyang didn't think much about it and just asked the soldiers to prepare for the upcoming war.
Shen Shiqian and Zhao Tingyuan came in person, bringing various supplies. They came to reward the soldiers.
They brought a lot of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, etc. to improve their food.
Nothing is as substantial as a meal of meat.
Lu Chenyang met them and said, "Thank you so much, you are so thoughtful."
Shen Shiqian quickly said, "Sir, all the soldiers are fighting bravely to protect Yanquan County. We are just doing our bit and contributing a little money. We don't deserve your thanks."
Zhao Tingyuan glanced at him and said, damn, this flatterer, he’s learned something.
Both of them knew that Lu Chenyang was busy, so they showed up and left.
Lu Chenyang rubbed his eyebrows. Many troops had not returned yet, and he didn't know when the Nanyang Army would launch an attack.
Duo did not come back early the next morning. He entered the military camp quietly and went to see Lu Chenyang without even having time to wash off his fatigue.
He had a look of confidence that he was determined to win: "Don't worry, sir, everything is ready."
Lu Chenyang didn't know what Duobu was keeping secret, but he had never seen Duobu so confident.
Lu Chenyang asked curiously, "What secret weapon does Duobu have?"
Duobu's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "Your Excellency may not know that our people have lived in the rainforest for generations. The rainforest is full of dangers, but we also coexist with everything in the rainforest. We use everything to survive, whether it's plants or... animals."
Lu Chenyang's eyes flashed, and looking at his meaningful gaze, he couldn't help licking his lips.
Is that what he meant?
Beast Taming Technique?
He had seen this thing in a book, but always thought it was a legend.
However, there are many Dongyi tribes, so even if there are some ancient skills, it is not known.
Lu Chenyang was quite looking forward to it, and even the tension he felt when facing the war was relieved a lot.
