Just as the 5th army was heavily injured and unable to advance.
At the same time, outside Quping City.
It was ten in the evening, the end of the farming season.
Under the setting sun, a few farmers were carrying hoes, holding big stones and big bowls, eating dry rations.
Looking at the rice fields that were fluttering in the wind, a young farmer said with a sigh,
"Father! If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have a good harvest this year!”
"Nothing unexpected? You green melon egg, there are many accidents in our mountain ditch!”
The old farmer said unhappily as he put on his water pipe,
"There are indeed no natural disasters this year, but man-made disasters?”
"I heard that there will be troops coming from the south to attack us. At that time, we might even have to recruit strong men!”
"Do you still remember Third Uncle Nen? Back then, he had been running errands for an official. In the end, when he arrived at the train station, he was grabbed by the arm and dragged onto the train.”
"There's been no news for so many years. He probably died outside long ago!”
As he spoke, the old farmer sized up the young farmer and sighed.
"Tree roots, with your physique, those officials love you the most!”
When the tree root heard this, it quickly shrank its neck and said,
"Father, then according to what you said, we should still hope that our Young Marshal will win.”
"I heard from the people in the city that our Young Marshal is planning to divide the land for us farmers. I don't know if it's true or not.”
Looking at the longing look on the tree root's face, the old farmer spat fiercely and said with a cold smile,
"You silly child, let me tell you something else. Whether it's the baldy in the south or the young marshal above us, they're all a bunch of blood-sucking bugs.”
Seeing that his father's voice was getting louder and louder, the tree root immediately panicked."Dad, you have to be quiet. If the soldiers hear you, then things will be big!”
Clang!
The old farmer placed the big bowl in his hand on the bluestone surface and said angrily,
"I knew it! I told you! Could it be that those soldiers will appear in front of me?？”
Before he could finish his sentence, a low rumbling sound came from afar!
Clang! Clang!
He looked at the large bowl that was trembling and gradually cracking.
The tree root trembled and said,"Not good!"~ It's not good to list big things! This is an earthquake!"
"My dear father, hurry up and run!"
Unexpectedly, not only did his father not move, but he also stared blankly at the road in the distance.
In his line of sight, a long and terrifying black line was rapidly approaching!
Even though they were separated by such a great distance, the two of them could still feel the substantial pressure!
For a moment, Tree Root felt his legs go numb. He muttered to himself,
"Father, what is that?"
The old farmer's face turned pale, and his pupils constricted. He almost used all his strength to roar,
"Run! Silly child! Run! This is cavalry!"
"A war disaster! This was a war disaster! They would rob money and goods at the very least, and kill people and massacre cities at the very least!”
As he spoke, the old farmer could not help but turn around as he rushed towards the grass by the roadside.
In the next second, the old farmer stepped into the air and fell heavily to the ground!
When he turned around again, the terrifying cavalry had already charged in front of him!
Their expressions were ferocious, their bodies were covered in blood, and their mouths were spitting out unclear words!
Under the setting sun, they were like demons that had crawled out of the 18th level of hell. They officially issued an ultimatum to the root father and son!
Clang!
A cavalryman laughed maniacally as he drew his snow-white cavalryman saber.
It drew an extremely beautiful and cold arc in the air and slashed fiercely at his head!
"It's over! This is completely over!"
The old farmer could no longer hold back the fear in his heart. He closed his eyes and began to wail.
"Stabbing!"
In the next second, a large amount of cold liquid poured onto the old farmer's body.
The old farmer shuddered.
Blood!
This was obviously blood!
He quickly touched his head.
His head was still there!
His heart didn't hurt either!
Then the question was, whose blood was this?!
It couldn't be his son's roots, right?!
For a moment, the sadness in the old farmer's heart was like a flood that had been released from the dam, and it could not be stopped.
"Oh my, you died so miserably! It's all my fault…"
Before the old farmer could finish howling, the tree root's honest voice rang out,"
"Father, I'm not dead yet."
The old farmer stopped crying.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her son looking at her in shock.
"Then whose blood is this on my face?" The old farmer asked with a blank expression.”
"It's his."
A cavalryman with a neat military appearance and a heroic face carried a large python that had lost its head but was still twitching. He said,
"Old man, I'm sorry. My name is Sun Liansheng, the commander of this cavalry unit. The situation was urgent just now, so I came to greet you.”
The old farmer was stunned.
"Is this Qu Ping City?" Sun Liansheng continued to ask.”
The old farmer was still in a daze.
Sun Liansheng scratched his head and asked the tree root beside him,""I say, what's wrong with your father?"
"He's probably feeling sorry for the big bowl, right?”
The tree root pointed at the big bowl that was completely shattered under the horse's hooves and said honestly,
"We only have one bowl at home. If it's broken, we won't be able to hold rice.”
The old farmer was shocked by this.
He pulled the tree root over, lowered his voice, and said in exasperation,
"My silly child! Do you want to die?"
"This has always been the case when soldiers ask us for money!”
"How can we ask soldiers for money?”
"But dad, what if they give it to us?"”
The old farmer slapped his thigh and pointed at the cow dung beside him. He said angrily,
"If they dare to give me a penny, I'll eat it directly…"
Before the old farmer could finish his sentence, Sun Liansheng took out a big dollar and handed it to him.
The old farmer's eyes instantly widened.
The air instantly froze!
Seeing that the old farmer didn't move, Sun Liansheng kindly reminded him,"
"Old man, don't be nervous. This is your compensation.”
As he spoke, Sun Liansheng stuffed the ocean into the old farmer's pocket. Then, he mounted his horse and roared at the soldiers behind him,
"Everyone, continue forward! The target is Qu Ping City!"
Sun Liansheng was about to leave.
The old farmer finally gathered his courage and asked Sun Liansheng,"
"Soldiers, are you here to collect food?”
Unexpectedly, Sun Liansheng shook his head and said,
"No, our army has plenty of food. Do you want to try it?”
As he spoke, Sun Liansheng took out a can of beef from his pocket and threw it to the old farmer.
These canned beef were the latest logistics supplies produced by the arsenal.
Although the production was limited, it was more than enough to supply the cavalry.
The old farmer calmed down a little and asked,"Are you here to recruit soldiers?"
Unexpectedly, Sun Liansheng shook his head again and said in a rough voice,
"Who still recruits strong men these days? We can't even recruit enough soldiers? A soldier alone could receive six dollars a month.”
"With your son's physique, he probably won't even be able to pass the most basic recruit training.”
As soon as he said that, the cavalrymen present burst into laughter.
And that was indeed the case.
In order to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Jiang Bai had specially brought over the military training methods of the later generations.
Every new recruit had to go through three months of collective training before they officially entered the military.
After that, they would be assigned to the various troops based on their performance.
Because of the good supplies, the soldiers were very strong.
Especially these elite cavalrymen, they were all as strong as bulls!
The old farmer was completely dumbfounded.
He immediately said to Sun Liansheng in confusion,"
"You don't recruit soldiers or collect food. Then why are you here this time?”
In the face of the old farmer's question, Sun Liansheng rubbed his shiny head and smiled sharply."
"Digging someone else's grave!"
"To whom?"
"Of course it's for the Japanese!"
After saying this, Sun Liansheng whipped his horse and led his cavalry to quickly disappear from the old farmer's sight.
He looked at the billowing smoke and then at the ocean in his hand.
The old farmer couldn't help but mutter to himself,"Why do I feel that these soldiers are different from the ones in the past?”
When evening came, Li Yunlong and his troops arrived at Quping City on time.
Looking at the dilapidated city wall in the darkness, which was less than three to four meters tall, he could not help but sigh.
Li Yunlong's face darkened as he cursed,"
"Damn it, just the height of the city wall can't even compare to the courtyard of the landlord in our hometown!”
"Let alone defending against the Japanese, I can even pee a big hole in it!”
Ding Zhaqiao, who was beside him, also said emotionally,
"I have to say, compared to this easy to attack and hard to defend Qu Ping City, the Sword Pass that Dumbo Kong is guarding is perfect!”
"Not only are the mountains high and the land dangerous, but it's also a dangerous place where one man can hold off ten thousand men!”
"Dumbo Kong got himself a good job!”
"Alright, alright, don't be jealous of her!”
Li Yunlong waved his hand impatiently and shouted,
"Alright, alright. Don't give me such a dirty talk. Old Ding, hurry up and garrison Qu Ping City.”
As for Sun Liansheng's cavalry unit, we'll put it in Quping City for now.”
Seeing that Li Yunlong was about to turn around and leave, Ding Zhaqiao quickly stopped him.
"Hey, hey! Old Li, what are you planning to do? Why do I see your posture? You're not planning to enter the city!”
"Why do I keep feeling that you're not holding back your fart!”
When Li Yunlong heard this, his body suddenly stiffened. He first forced himself to calm down and spat out a mouthful of saliva. Then, he laughed out loud and said,"You've misunderstood our Old Li this time.”
"Look, Dumbo Kong is guarding the left wing of Quping City, but the right wing is empty. If the Japanese find an opening and break through from the right wing, won't we be finished?”
"That's why I plan to go to the right side of the forest to defend!”
As he said this, Ding Zhaqiao could not help but think of the 3D battle map around Qu Ping City.
Just as Li Yunlong had said, the right side of Qu Ping City was empty, except for a dense forest.
It was almost impossible to defend!
In such a situation, if the Japanese noticed it…
Then, they could take a detour to attack Kun Ming, and retreat to gather their superior forces to besiege Quping County.
No matter what the situation was, it was an extremely passive situation for the First Army!
However, for some reason, Ding Zhaqiao felt that Li Yunlong was up to no good.
Just as he was thinking hard, Li Yunlong, who was beside him, was already impatient. He pulled the independent division and left.
He watched Li Yunlong leave quickly.
The suspicion in Ding Zhaqiao's heart grew stronger and stronger.
"No, this Li Yunlong must be holding back some bad fart. I still have to ask the young commander!”
Soon, Ding Zhaqiao contacted Jiang Bai, who was far away in Kunming, through the county's communications bureau.
At this moment, in Kunming City.
Even though it was already midnight.
However, the Young Marshal's Mansion was still brightly lit.
Especially in the command hall where Jiang Bai was, it was even more crowded.
Soldiers were running back and forth everywhere, and there were piles of telegrams everywhere.
"Reporting to Young Marshal, the arsenal has been completed. All the workers have been recruited and are now in production!”
"Reporting to Young Marshal, the troops led by General Long Wenzhang have successfully entered the Chanda Empire. They are currently facing the Eagle and Mage Coalition Army across the river!”
"Reporting to the Major, the First Army has successfully arrived at the designated location. The artillery division led by General Chu Yunfei will also arrive at Quping City tomorrow afternoon!”
……
Hearing this, Jiang Bai's eyes moved slightly and he suddenly said,"
"Mark the exact deployment location of the First Army on the map.”
"Yes, sir! Young Marshal!"
Soon, a signalman marked the location of the three combat infantry divisions.
On the wide battle map, Dumbo Kong's 3rd Combat Infantry Division was stationed at Sword Pass.
Ding Zhaqiao's 4th Combat Infantry Division was stationed at Qu Ping City.
Li Yunlong's 1st Independent Division was located in the forest to the right of Qu Ping City.
With just a glance, Jiang Bai laughed and said,"
"I knew that Li Yunlong was eager to fight. He just arrived at Quping City, but he was already impatient!”
"And I'm sure that Ding Zhaqiao will definitely call later!”
As expected, just as he finished speaking, Ding Zhaqiao called.
After Ding Zhaqiao voiced out the question in his heart.
" It's simple," Jiang Bai said calmly." Li Yunlong is searching for the enemy and then preparing to take the initiative to attack!"”
Enemies?
Take the initiative to attack?
Dumbo Kong was dumbfounded when he heard those two terms.
Wasn't this a normal triangular defense?
How did it involve a specific tactical attack?!
