Wang Luoyin gave up and said with a smile: "The local army plus the imperial army in the capital, all added up, have a strength of more than 100,000. All of them are experienced regular troops. Their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Shiyan Army.

No, but it’s not that bad. To put it harshly, even farting can make things more interesting, at least it won’t do any harm.”

Jiang Lie was filled with joy and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty. There is strength in numbers. With one more soldier, we will have more strength!"

Wang Luoyin nodded and said with a smile: "And I believe that under the leadership of Marshal Jiang, the combat effectiveness of all the armies will be greatly improved and their performance will be extraordinary! By the way, our Majesty has also become close to you and recognized your kinship.

There is also a letter written by the Queen to you at the back of this letter."

The empress of Qiu Shi Kingdom is Yuan Rutong, the ninth princess of Emperor Yi Zhong of the Divine Lion Kingdom, Yuan Liaochen. Jiang Lie and Yuan Rutong used to have some friendship. When they first came to Qiu Shi Kingdom, they escorted Yuan Rutong to get married.

Coming here, he saved her life in Zhiping County. When he heard that there was something written by Yuan Rutong in this letter, Jiang Lie immediately became interested. After all, he and Yuan Rutong had not been in contact for some years.

"Then read it quickly, what did your empress write?" Jiang Lie said with great interest.

Wang Luoyin stared at the letter and read out the script: "Young Master Jiang, long time no see. I know you have been a handsome man for a long time, but I still find it difficult to change my words, so I will call you Young Master Jiang. Since I got married and took the oath,

I often exchange letters with Nan'er, so I know a little about things in the Divine Lion City. After the war, you have to bring Nan'er and Nian Heng to see me at the Qiu Swear Palace when you have time.

Playing with my prince and princess for a few days. I am extremely grateful to the Lion Flame Army for sending troops to help. I wanted to help, but I couldn't help much, so I had to donate some of my daily savings to support your battle. I hope you will

If you can defeat all the Xiang Mei troops as soon as possible and come to the Qiu Swear Palace safely, there will be generous rewards waiting for you. My prince and princess also want to meet your heroic uncle."

Jiang Lie felt warm in his heart and smiled: "Since the Queen has said so, then our battle in the prairie fire is to win and not lose. I have to save my little life, otherwise I won't be able to see the benefits."

The reward was given.”

In the following days, people from all walks of life stepped up training intensively, and Daishan's shipbuilding team also worked hard at all times.

In the early morning of the first day of April, Jiang Lie led the soldiers and horses from the headquarters of the Shiyan Army to leave the Daishan Water Park on a brand-new warship and gathered on the east bank.

Currently, there are not many troops in the Lion Flame Army headquarters, only Jiang Lie's Pioneer Ya and Ruan Lei's Pioneer Ya, as well as some elite soldiers of the Lion Flame Army.

Jiang Lie, Ruan Lei and Duan Biao each rode a horse and faced the soldiers.

"The Great War has begun. We have experienced hardships and sorrows, but we have still made it all the way. Every brother of our Lion Flame Army is a good person! We are about to go on an expedition. Let's improve our morale.

Let’s sing a song together first, let’s sing the “War Hymn of a Strong Army” that we sing every day! Let me start first!” Jiang Lie cleared his throat and sang loudly, “Listen to the new journey horn blowing! Sing!”

"Listen to the horn of the new journey. The goal of a strong army is calling at the front. If the country wants to be strong, we must take responsibility. The battle flag is full of iron-blooded glory. Soldiers, obey the command. You can win the battle. You have a good style and are not afraid of strong enemies. Dare to compete.

, Decisive victory on the battlefield for the motherland!" All the soldiers sang in unison with their heroic and passionate spirit.

The blood in Jiang Lie's whole body boiled. He pulled out the Pingxue Sword from his waist and raised it high above his head: "Victory for the motherland! Brothers, let's sing this song before the war to boost our morale. After the war, wait for us.

After we capture that city, let's sing "Serve the Country with Loyalty" together! Singing the spirit of our Lion Flame Army and our majestic lions will make everyone from all over the world congratulate us! Go ahead!"

The target of this group of people is the city where Jiang Lie was captured to build the city wall.

The goal is very clear, which is to attack the original gap.

Jiang Lie rode a Qimo horse, brandished a destroying axe, and rushed to the front. In a short time, he broke through the city wall from the original gap.

Jiang Lie thought: "Those brothers are really there. This city wall is really not solid. It is really easy to attack from this weak point!"

…

At noon on the second day of April, the troops led by Jiang Lie had completely wiped out the entire elephant army in the city.

Jiang Lie stood at the door of the barracks of the Xiang Army headquarters in the city, with one foot stepping on the body of the city guard general, and with the other hand, he put the killing ax on the ground, looked up at the sky, and sang loudly: "When the smoke rises, the country looks north!"

"The lion flag is rolled up, the horse is neighing, and the sword energy is like frost. The heart is like a vast river, and all over the world, who can resist it." Duan Biao emerged from behind Jiang Lie and answered the next sentence tacitly.

"Hate is so mad that when the sword is directed, the bones of many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign country. How can I die to serve my family and country? I can't bear to sigh, but I am speechless, and my eyes are full of blood and tears." Ruan Lei sang as he walked slowly over.

The three men and other nearby soldiers immediately sang in unison: "The horses' hooves are going south, and people are looking north, and people are looking north. The grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and the majestic lions will come from all directions to congratulate me."

!”

"The local county magistrate comes to see Marshal Jiang of the Lion Flame Army! Please ask Marshal Jiang to lead his troops to Xiaguan's humble residence to rest! The common people have prepared rewards for the Lion Flame Army!" A middle-aged man in official uniform said in embarrassment

He ran over and saluted Jiang Lie repeatedly.

Jiang Lie paid a military salute to the county magistrate: "You worked hard during the days when you were enslaved by the Xiangmei people! Now that your county has been liberated, your life will be better! General Ruan, assemble your troops. The folks have prepared generous gifts for us.

We won’t be polite.”

After eating and drinking in this county, everyone under Jiang Lie's command also got a full rest, and many military supplies were replenished as necessary. They set off to attack the next place early the next morning.

On May 13th, Jiang Lie led his troops to win many battles. Although there were many casualties and several soldiers were captured, they had recovered many lost territories and were stationed on the top of a hill. The hill was not very high.

, it occupies a large area, and is considered a relatively rare terrain on the eastern plains of Qiu Shi Kingdom.

That night, Jiang Lie and Ruan Lei studied the map by midnight in the headquarters camp.

"Zheng Zhibin was really able to keep his composure. Our prairie fire war lasted for more than a month and we were completely invincible. None of the enemies surrendered, but many of them escaped. It cannot be said to be an escape, but a strategic retreat.

Many of the enemies are already frightened by us. As soon as they saw the Lion Flame Army coming, they hurriedly ran away, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to fight them all the way so easily." Jiang Lie said and took a sip of the tea cup in his hand.

Tea.

Ruan Lei nodded: "Judging from the battle reports of General Wen, General Huang and General Ji, most of the troops from all walks of life won the battle. Although there were casualties, generally speaking, they were far smaller than the enemy. Although

That's the case, but we still have to remain vigilant at all times and never be careless for a moment. The enemy is still quite cunning, so we must be on guard."

Jiang Lie nodded and said: "The enemy's cunning is well known to all, and if he dares to play tricks, he dares to pay his capital. In order to lure us to take the bait and attack the small stronghold near Daishan Mountain, he will not hesitate to sacrifice all the wounded soldiers in the city.

.Now that I think about it, it still makes my hair stand on end.”

Ruan Lei looked at the map: "As long as we fight steadily, the final victory will definitely belong to us."

"That's right, the final victory must belong to us." Jiang Lie said jokingly, "After the battle, go back to Shenshi City, and I will ask someone to tell you about your housewife. You will be brought with you by then.

When you return home, there will definitely be many girls vying for you, and you will be tired of choosing!"

Ruan Lei couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you talking about? You are thinking about tomorrow's lunch before today's dinner is ready. Everything has to be done step by step, and the battle is not over yet. Besides, I'm worried

Why are you so anxious? If I were to say that I am almost thirty this year, I would definitely be anxious. I am still young, so there is no need to be too hasty."

Jiang Lie waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm telling you, I'm not acting too hastily. I'm giving it to you, to you... um... how should I put it, painting a cake? It doesn't count. I'm just setting one up for you.

The goal is just like an adult bluffing a child, saying that after the meal is finished, I will take you out to play. I promise to give you a housewife, just to encourage you, to encourage you to fight well, fight bravely, and fight the enemy as soon as possible.

Achieve final victory.”

Ruan Lei smiled and gave a thumbs up: "You are still like this! Don't keep talking about how good Zheng Zhibin is at bullshitting, and how he can make hooligans sound high-sounding. I think you are all in the same boat, just make a joke casually,

There is also a way to explain it in a serious way, and you can forcefully get back to the point."

Jiang Lie shook his head: "Don't, don't, don't compare me to Zheng Zhibin. Although we are both commanders, he is the aggressor and I am the defender. When you mention me with him, I still feel that I have been criticized."

It's insulting. You've never dealt with him, so that bastard is not a good person. Even if there is no war, he is an excellent person, but he may not be a good person."

Ruan Lei said thoughtfully: "When you said this, I began to wonder what kind of person this person is. If I have the chance, I really want to get to know him, see him, and open my eyes."

"Don't worry, there is always a chance." Jiang Lie said seriously, "When the Xiang Army decides to surrender, a surrender ceremony will definitely be held. Then you will be able to witness him signing his name on the surrender document and pressing his

Mudras. At that time, you will be able to open your eyes."

Ruan Lei nodded: "I hope that day will come soon."

"Commander, Commander! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Duan Biao suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Commander, General Ruan, retreat quickly!"
Chapter completed!
