With the addition of Dian Wei and his son, Lin Meng was extremely happy. After returning to Dongling County, he held a banquet to reward the soldiers. It could be considered a welcome party for Dian Wei and his son.
Following that, a series of military arrangements made Meng Lin extremely busy. Now that he had many generals under him, he needed to think carefully about how to arrange them. He also had to care about Guan Hai's actions.
On the 16th day after killing Zhou Cang, Guan Hai finally realized that something was wrong. He had sent a few batches of messengers to investigate, but they had all disappeared. Something must have happened to Zhou Cang.
In the hall of the Dongling County Government Office, Lin Meng sat at the head of the table with Cai Wenji sitting beside him. Dian Wei, Dian Man, Du He, Guo Chuan, and the others were all here. This was Lin Meng's current team.
"My lord, the scouts have reported that Guan Hai was furious when he learned of Zhou Cang's death. He personally ordered 100,000 soldiers to come and take revenge. The army has already been mobilized and will arrive at Coiling Dragon Valley in about three days.”Guo Chuan said seriously.
"Guan Hai came personally?" Meng Lin was shocked and quickly asked. Does he not care about Peng Cheng?"
"It is said that his deputy is leading the remaining Yellow Turban bandits to continue besieging Peng City.”Guo Chuan replied.
Meng Lin nodded in satisfaction. He had made new arrangements for Guo Chuan these days, which was to set up an intelligence department. Guo Chuan was a swordsman and was not suitable for fighting on the battlefield. He could do some more detailed things very well. Lin Meng asked him to recruit a large number of spies among the refugees to be responsible for the intelligence of the army.
There was no source of information on the ancient battlefield. It was like being blind. Meng Lin was not that stupid.
Now, it seemed that Guo Chuan had done a good job. At least, he had investigated the situation near Peng City better.
"The enemy army is pressing down on us, and we only have a few thousand men.”Meng Lin asked with a smile.
Everyone's expression was solemn. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid of a hundred thousand against a few thousand. Only Dian Wei waved his hand nonchalantly and said,""What's there to be afraid of? They're just a mob. We can definitely kill them.”
"Very good. Listen to my orders." Meng Lin said seriously," Man Chong, lead 500 cavalrymen to guard Coiling Dragon Valley. Guan Hai is more cautious than Zhou Cang. He will definitely not attack Coiling Dragon Valley rashly." You don't need to fight him, drag it out as long as you can.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Guo Chuan, do your best to develop your spies. I need to stay out of the house and understand the major events in the world.”"Du He, lead your 1,000 sword-shield soldiers to train. Dian Wei, lead your two thousand recruits to train and increase their combat strength as soon as possible.”
"Yes!"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave." Meng Lin waved his hand.
After Dian Wei and the others left, Dian Man brought hundreds of strong men to guard the county government.
In the past few days, he had adjusted the military deployment and recruited new soldiers. Lin Meng had let Man Chong lead the cavalry, Du He lead a thousand sword-shield soldiers, Dian Wei lead two thousand new soldiers, and Dian Man became his personal guard captain. These 100 bodyguards were all seasoned soldiers who were led by Dian Man and were responsible for Lin Meng's safety.
Before he knew it, Meng Lin had already gathered 3,600 soldiers and more than 50,000 residents. He could only win this battle.
……
Guan Hai was just as Meng Lin had predicted. He was very cautious. After discovering that the Panlong Valley had a dangerous terrain and was guarded by people, he did not rashly attack. He advanced step by step, not giving him the chance to sneak attack with his full pet. It took him three days to cross the Panlong Valley.
After passing Coiling Dragon Valley, the 100,000 strong army charged straight towards Dongling County.
At this moment, the gates of Dongling County were tightly shut. The city walls were heavily guarded, and the entire city was filled with a tense atmosphere. Countless people were silently praying that they would win this time. Otherwise, not only would they not have a good life, but they might even lose their lives.
Meng Lin stood on the city wall and stared at the 100,000-strong army. This was not the first time he had seen an army of 100,000 soldiers. The last time was in Xu Prefecture, where 30,000 Xu Prefecture soldiers had to hold on for more than half a month before they could barely hold on. The 100,000 strong army had high morale, but Meng Lin only had 3,000 men.
The difference between the two was too great. The only advantage was that Dongling County was more strategic and easier to defend than Xu Prefecture.
"Who are you? How dare you attack and kill my Yellow Turban army?”Guan Hai rode his horse out of the crowd, raising his nine-ringed saber and roaring.
Meng Lin grinned and said coldly,""I'm the East Vanquishing General, Lin Meng. This Dongling County is my territory. If you don't want to die, then scram.”
"Arrogant! What bullsh * t East Vanquishing General? I've never even heard of him. If you have the ability, come down and fight me.”Guan Hai laughed.
"Dog, is my lord someone you can challenge? I, Dian Wei, will fight you first." Dian Wei was furious and shouted at Meng Lin,"My lord, this fellow is arrogant and conceited. Dian Wei requests to fight him.”
"Agreed!"
After receiving Lin Meng's approval, Dian Wei rode out of Dongling City on a horse.
When Guan Hai saw Dian Wei, he was so scared that his eyebrows jumped. This Dian Wei's height of over two meters was quite frightening. Riding on a horse, he pressed down on the horse until it almost couldn't breathe. In his hands, the two eighty-jin heavy steel halberds were shining with a cold light.
"How can there be such a terrifying person in this small place? I miscalculated." Guan Hai cursed in his heart. However, he was now in a difficult position, so he could only roar,"Thief, hand over your life!"
"Kill them!"
The two of them roared as they charged at each other. The halberds and sabers flashed as they collided fiercely.
Ding!
Guan Hai felt as if he had been hit by a huge mountain. He spat out blood. The horse under him whined and retreated more than ten steps. Guan Hai was so frightened that his face changed because his right hand had lost all feeling. It was numb from the shock!
"Monster!" Guan Hai cried out in alarm and turned around, wanting to escape.
"Where are you running to, little thief?”Dian Wei cheered excitedly.
" Not good! Save the general!"
"Thief, don't hurt my general. Die!”
Five Yellow Turban generals rode their horses and rushed over, roaring and attacking Dian Wei, trying to cover Guan Hai's retreat.
Dian Wei was furious. He waved the halberds in his hands crazily. Countless dazzling lights appeared around him and swept the five people in an instant. As for the five people, they were chopped to the ground like vegetables. Even their horses were strangled to death.
"General is mighty! General is mighty!" The Eastern Tomb guards cheered excitedly.
