Chapter 93, Northern Chaos (7)
In the early morning of April 13, the empire's central and southern provinces, Tianxi Valley, Tianxi Valley, Songshan, was in the central and southern provinces.
At this moment, it was already a quiet moment. Everyone who had been fighting for a day had already fallen asleep except for those who were on duty.
There were still lights in a wooden house in the valley. Under the light, a man was sitting upright on the side, outlining and deducing something on the map in front of him with his pen.
This man is Lei Dongfeng. It is said that the successful one is the genius of 99's efforts and 1's. Lei Dongfeng is practicing this with his own practice. He is planning the next trend of the Kuanglan Army.
After all, it took only half a year for him to come to this different time and space, and he lost many important fragments in the process of integrating memory. Moreover, in the battle in the daytime, after seeing Duan Yihe, although he remembered many important plots, he even felt a strong sense of crisis.
He always felt that he was now a chess piece and an invisible, invisible hand directing him.
Lei Dongfeng is not a habit in nature. He is controlled by the person, so he must cherish every opportunity, try his best to make up for the knowledge he lacks, and be able to have enough strength to choose his own path when the answer is revealed in the future.
"League, Xu Daoshou is here." Wang Jiantang whispered outside the door.
Lei Dongfeng hurriedly got up and put away the map, stuffed the map into his luggage, then opened the door and sent Xu Huanzong into the room.
After the two of them sat down, he asked Xu Huanzong: "What's the matter when the Taoist Shou arrives late at night? Dongfeng can do his best."
"It's okay, I went out of the thatched cottage to practice martial arts at night. I saw that the lights here in the Lei Army were still not gone. So I'd forgive me if I had any trouble." Xu Huanzong said with a smile.
"Well, the Dongfeng is not sleepy yet. Since the Taoist leader has a good night talk, the Dongfeng will accompany him." Lei Dongfeng hurriedly said, and got up and brewed a pot of tea himself.
Since Li Ruoxi gave him homemade tea - Piao Tianwenxue - Youdao, the old god with white hair and hair is even more cunning.
"The elder has something to say, the boy listens; the elder has no intention, the boy understands himself. Also, Xu Daoshou, you are the elder, you don't have to call me the legion all the time in private, just call me Dongfeng." Lei Dongfeng said.
"What an elder has a good word, Dongfeng is indeed very thoughtful. But, to put it off topic, don't you have any words?" Xu Huanzong smiled and called Lei Dongfeng's name intimately.
In ancient times, elders could call their younger generations by name, but peers should call their contempts and elders, even if they were accused of elders, they should call their names or positions, such as gentlemen, Taoist leaders.
If an elder is close to a younger generation, he will generally call his words to show his importance to him.
"Well, Dongfeng is an orphan. His name is from the uncle who adopted me. When he was young, he entered the military academy and had no time to consider these things after he became an adult, so he had no word for expression." Lei Dongfeng nodded and said.
"Since that's the case, I will not be ashamed of myself. How about giving you a word for a word?" Xu Huanzong said with a smile.
Lei Dongfeng glanced at Xu Huanzong. The person in front of him was the head of the four major temples of the empire, a Taoist predecessor who had supreme reputation among the four people of the empire and the senior officials. It was out of reach for ordinary people to get the words he personally gave.
Even even if it is the thirteen major families of the empire, if any junior can get the word "Xu Huanzong" by Xu Huanzong, it should be considered a kind of affirmation and support?
But it is usually the result of the direct elders in the family or their own teachers. Although the purpose is to encourage the younger generation, it is to bring the relationship between the two parties closer.
The so-called king of heaven and earth is a teacher. The person who gives you the word "print" is the person who is closely connected with you.
Today, Xu Huanzong came to him for so long to talk about the gossip, and suddenly said that he wanted to give himself a word for a letter. What does it mean? Is it really just to have a relationship with him? Is he so charming?
Lei Dongfeng is not a fool, so he naturally knows the saying of "Qing Shang Reciprocity". Although Xu Huanzong is not trying to harm himself, giving such a big gift would definitely not be the Young Pioneers doing good deeds, right? Lei Dongfeng cannot be ignored.

"Enemy attack!" Cao Lan roared, and the quiet camp of the Thunder Army was silent for a moment. Suddenly, it was like a hornet's nest awakened by the explosion. In an instant, the lights were bright, as if it was daylight.
Then waves of noise came into the eardrums, and the awakened soldiers of the Benlei Army began to shout and remind each other.
In fact, if the Benlei Army was attacked on weekdays, it would not be so panicked, just because they believed in the scout and their own judgment too much. There were no enemy troops nearby, and they would have to attack the city with all their might tomorrow. Therefore, except for the soldiers on night, everyone was sleeping soundly while resting their energy. In the early morning, the lowest alert moment of the day, they were suddenly awakened, and subconsciously they felt a little panicked and confused.
It is a very good performance to be able to keep from running around, but to wear armor in a hurry, lift up weapons, and rush out of the camp to watch from a distance.
At this time, the sentry of the thunder army at the back door of the camp also discovered the enemy situation in the night. In the distance, a group of people could be seen vaguely heading towards the camp in the darkness.
The dress and weapons of the team were not clearly visible, but the fiery red-crowned helmet on the head was still clear. It was the dress of the Gallic Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Falls and the Gallic Light Cavalry in the Western Allied Forces. Suddenly, there were shouts of killing sounds from the wilderness in the distance, and I didn't know how many people came for a while.
The group of cavalry was extremely fast. They were just a few hundred meters away, but they rushed to within one hundred meters in a blink of an eye. Then a rain of arrows hit the camp.
Fortunately, Cao Lan's roar was prepared for the soldiers of the Thunder Army. While someone had already ringed the iron bell for warning, more than a dozen shields were erected in front of the camp gate. The few soldiers in the camp gate hid behind the shield, and most of the other soldiers were still gathering in the camp.
Therefore, the sudden rain of arrows that shot in this wave of arrows did not cause substantial damage except for causing several unlucky people to twist their ankles and break their arms.
"Don't panic, don't scream or scream. If there are any random words, those who walk around will be killed! The guards will be on their horses and patrol the entire camp. The rest are ready to fight back!" A voice sounded in the night sky, and it was Xiahou Junjie.
Don’t panic when encountering problems and command properly, Xiahou Junjie is indeed a talented general.
Hearing the shout, the soldiers of the Ben Lei Army, who were already a little panicked, began to calm down slowly. Under the command of their respective captains, they lined up to prepare to face the enemy.
Perhaps they discovered the movements of the Benlei Army. These Gaul light cavalry, wearing light armor, holding broadswords or knight guns, and red crowns on their heads, quickly escaped from the range of the Benlei Army archers after shooting out the first round of arrows. They kept shouting and scolding in Falls and the broken imperial language, but were not far ahead.
On this side, Cao Lan quickly organized a counterattack team. The moment he discovered the enemy situation and shouted, Cao Lan returned to the area where his troops were located, sorted out the weapons and horses, and assembled his subordinates and prepared to charge at any time.
At this moment, seeing Xiahou Junjie organizes personnel gathering in the camp, Cao Lan immediately walked over and said, "Master General, please let me fight!"
"Cao Shi Regiment cannot fight at this moment. Now the situation of the enemy outside is unclear. If you go out rashly, you may be ambushed by the enemy!" Xiahou Junjie said decisively.
"Didn't the general say that there is no power that can threaten our army nearby? Is it a mistake?" Cao Lan couldn't help but regret it as soon as he said it.
Sure enough, Xiahou Junjie and several staff officers around him all turned a little ugly when they heard this, which was equivalent to directly denying the strategic deployment of the command center headed by Xiahou Junjie.
"Cao Qinglin, Cao Qinglin, why can't you spit out ivory in your mouth? Even if you are anxious to make contributions to your boss, you don't have to do this?" Xue Jingxuan, who was standing beside him, might be the only person who could laugh at this moment. He laughed and patted Cao Lan on the shoulder.
"..." Cao Lan could hear that Xue Jingxue was intentionally trying to smooth things over for him. Although he was not sure why Xue Jingxuan did this, he still looked at Xue Jingxuan gratefully.
"The whole army obeys the orders. Without my orders, no one can go out to fight. The whole army strengthens its defense. Pay attention to the enemy troops of the Anyang Prefecture, the main gate, taking the opportunity to leave the city. The rest of them rest on the spot and wait for the order!" Xiahou Junjie did not scold Cao Lan, but commanded and dispatched the Benlei Army to defend.
"Oh..." Cao Lan heard what Xiahou Junjie said, so he naturally would not make things boring anymore and turned around and walked back to the team.
"Cao Lan is so rude. If the general had not taken him in that day, he would have been humiliated by the Cao family. Now that he is hard, he will want to take the lead in every possible way." The person who spoke was Xiahou Minde, the commander of the First Infantry Division of the Fenwu Army.
"Enough! General Cao is also eager to fight. Minde, you are all focused on slandering Tongji. When will you become a talent? Do you think I won't let you be the commander of the cavalry division because of your ability? It's entirely because of your heart. You are too immature now. You only know how to complain when you encounter something and speak wildly. What kind of morality is it?" Xiahou Junjie looked at Xue Jingxuan who was sneering, and felt a heat on his face, and couldn't help but shout.
Xiahou Minde was suddenly silent, and the generals around him also looked shaky. They were originally a little despised by Cao Lan, but at this moment they felt that their boss was open-minded and did not nepotism, which was really worth following.
Xue Jingxuan, who had been watching all this coldly, looked at Xiahou Minde, who was still angry in the distance.
