The Alchemist God

Two days later, the cavalry regiment passed Longyan Mountain in Xunlong Forest. Looking from a distance, the three big characters of Longyan Mountain in blood red appeared on the towering stone wall, and the banner on Longyan could almost be seen from a distance. Flying, that is the flag of Longdan Camp. At the same time, there is a village at the foot of Longyan Mountain. All the houses are newly built. Many civilians have moved here. There is even a village in the center of the village at noon. market.

...

Qi Ying, the head of the Tianchong Legion who accompanied him, looked up at Longyan Mountain with awe-inspiring eyes, and asked: General, it is said that there is a mercenary group called 'Longdan Camp' entrenched in this mountain range, and its strength is quite good, my lord. Since we are passing through here, should we go up the mountain to 'borrow' some weapons and provisions from this gentian camp?

He grinned wickedly.

But Lin Muyu shook his head: No, you can camp at the foot of the mountain to rest for a while, I will go up the mountain to discuss with the Longdan Camp, and invite them to go to Cangnan Province to wipe out the knights' camp, otherwise we may not be able to succeed with our 5,000 cavalry alone. thing.

What!?

Qi Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: General, you mustn't do it...Although this Long Dan Battalion is registered in the imperial capital, but...the mercenaries are cruel and arrogant, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go up the mountain alone.

Don't worry, it's okay, you camp here and don't disturb the people along the way.

Yes! General, be careful.

Um.

...

Lin Muyu only led Wei Chou and Xia Housang up the mountain, but found that the Gendan Battalion became stronger and stronger. It can be seen that the training is good.

Not long after, Luo Yu and Feng Xi walked out of the conference hall with radiant faces, greeted them directly, and said with a respectful smile, My lord, you are here!

Um.

Lin Muyu nodded and asked, How's the Longdan camp doing recently?

Luo Yu smiled and said: Everything is fine, we have wiped out all the wandering mercenary groups and knights' camp forces within 500 miles around except the Yanlong mercenary group, and have expanded our number to 5417!

More than five thousand?!

Lin Muyu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: How about horses and weapons?

Luo Yu clasped his fists and said: Everyone is equipped with horses and long and short weapons. These five thousand people will become cavalry when they mount their horses, and infantry when they dismount. Please rest assured about their combat power.

That's good!

Lin Muyu smiled smugly and said, Choose 5,000 people immediately, bring three days of dry food, and follow me into the territory of Cangnan Province for military training.

Oh? Luo Yu was stunned: Where does your lord want to attack?

Eliminate all the forces of the Knights' Pavilion in the Cangnan Province.

So that's the case, the subordinates will immediately go to gather the troops.

good!

...

Less than half an hour later, 5,000 elite Gendan battalion mercenaries had gathered on the top of the mountain. Money is good!

Go down the mountain!

When the flag was raised, the dragon-shaped pattern fluttered in the air, which was really beautiful.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Qi Ying who was far away raised his gun and mounted his horse, shouting loudly: The enemy is coming, prepare to defend!

The heavy cavalry of the Tianchong Army got on their horses one after another, put their spears above the heads of their horses, and prepared to meet the Gendan battalion that came down from the mountain with a murderous look.

However, Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked ahead, and said loudly: General Qi Ying, he's one of his own, it's fine.

Qi Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: The general is so brave, did you really convince this group of mercenaries from the Gendan Battalion?

Wei Chou stepped forward and said with a faint smile: It's the general's men, why bother to convince them, well, let's go to Yinshan City!

Um!

...

At this point, 10,000 heavy cavalry left the territory of Lanyan City in a mighty manner, and went straight to the territory of Cangnan Province. After entering Cangnan Province two days later, the small city of Yinshan City can be seen from a distance. The two messengers rushed over quickly and informed the new city guard to go.

Lin Muyu had mixed feelings. When he left Yinshan City last time, he and Chu Yao escaped from the pursuit of Huatian and his son. He did not expect that this time he came to Yinshan City with tens of thousands of horses, and he was already as expensive as Zhennan. General.

Not long after, a group of people came galloping from the city, the two leading the way, one in civilian attire and the other in military officer attire.

I'm going to meet my lord with Zhang Yida, the prefect of Yinshan City!

The last general, the garrison general of Yinshan City, Wang He, is meeting the general!

The expressions of the two people were very respectful, and Lin Muyu was no stranger to it. In the Great Qin Empire, the distinction between high and low official ranks was very strict, and he, General Zhennan, was almost a god-like existence in this small town.

With a flattering smile on his face, Zhang Yida got off his horse and knelt down to salute, and said with a smile: My lord is the righteous son of the emperor, and it is a great honor for me to come to Yinshan City. If my lord does not give up, please follow my lord into the city immediately. Come on, the villain has prepared a feast to wash away the dust for the adults!

Wang He clasped his fists together and said, Please enter the city, my lord!

The words and deeds of these two people were very enthusiastic, but what Lin Muyu felt was boundless indifference, and smiled slightly: No need, the army will not enter the city or disturb the people, so we will camp in the Seven Star Forest outside the city, Lord City Guard , please go and prepare food, water, and horse rations for us immediately, these are all up to you.

Zhang Yida was stunned: My lord, you... are you not going to the city?

Yes, not going into the city.

Lin Muyu cupped his fists respectfully, and said with a smile, I'm sorry to bother you, Lord City Guard and General Wang He, please go and prepare for us immediately!

yes……

Zhang Yida and Wang He were dumbfounded, and hurriedly led the crowd away.

Lin Muyu watched them go away, and said calmly: Set up camp near the Seven Star Forest, don't occupy the official road, prepare to bury the pot for cooking, have a good rest today, and attack the main altar of the Knights' Pavilion tomorrow morning.

With a look of admiration on her face, Qi Ying cupped her fists and said, Yes, General!

...

At night, the sky is full of stars, the chill is overwhelming, the temperature drops sharply, and it seems that it will snow again.

Lin Muyu brought all the cavalry this time, and he had to make a quick decision without procrastination, otherwise the fodder for the horses would be a big problem. Yinshan City is just a small city, and it can support 10,000 horses in a day or two. A month is probably a little bit reluctant.

Under the light of the jumping fire, Wei Chou unfolded a map of Cangnan Province, pointed to the red mark on it, and said: The main altar of Cangnan Province is located on this mountain called 'Huoax Mountain', this fire Ax Mountain is not high, but the terrain is very steep. It looks like a fire axe, hence the name. According to my information, there are currently more than 4,200 chivalrous mansions entrenched on Huoax Mountain. …My lord, you killed a game player last time, so this group of people should hate us very much.”

Qi Ying said: The chivalrous mansion has many eyes and ears, and we have come to Yinshan City in such a mighty way, they must know about it, so we have to figure it out slowly, I think... it's better to wait until Lord Shen Yang brings ten thousand 5,000 infantrymen have come, and attack together?

That's too late.

Lin Muyu shook his head and said: When the infantry arrived here, the day lily was cold. Tonight, send some people to spy on the terrain and intelligence, so as to prevent them from laying an ambush on the way and directly attacking the mountain tomorrow morning.

yes!

After Qi Ying and the other generals dispersed, Wei Chou's eyes dimmed and he asked, My lord, why are you in such a hurry to attack the mountain? This doesn't seem to be your character...

Lin Muyu breathed out a breath of mist, and said: Late will change, the relationship between the Knights Hotel and the Wugu City is inextricably linked, we must resolve it quickly, otherwise, if the Wugu City reacts, I am afraid it will be so easy for us to destroy the Knights Hotel.

Does Governor Hu Tiening really dare to openly maintain the Knights' Hotel?

No, he doesn't dare, but he won't let us go too well.

Yes, this subordinate knows...

...

In the early morning of the next day, 10,000 troops marched straight to Huofu Mountain, which was less than two hundred miles away from Yinshan City, which was only half a day's journey for the cavalry. Lin Muyu's eyes fell on the crowd. They are good at melee fighting, while the heavy cavalry of the Gendan Battalion are equipped with strong bows. This is an absolute advantage. If they want to kill without damage, they must be equipped with long-range weapons. The mercenaries of the Gendan Battalion He is proficient in bows and horses, and seems to be more suitable for fighting in the mountains.

Along the way, the scouts reported frequently, and the terrain had been surveyed clearly, so it was almost impossible for the knights to ambush.

Arrive at the foot of Fire Ax Mountain before noon!

Looking up, Huofu Mountain looks like a fiery red battle ax across the sky and the earth. The rocks are red, the flags are flying in the middle, there are many houses, and a stone fortress is built at the mountain gate to resist foreign enemies. invasion.

It is difficult for war horses to travel in the mountains, let alone a steep slope of almost 45 degrees?

Qi Ying frowned, and said, General, how do we attack?

No need to attack.

Lin Muyu rode on a war horse and said with a smile: I have received information that although the food on this mountain is sufficient, the water is all brought up from the clear spring at the foot of the mountain. Their main altar has more than 4,000 troops, and the daily water consumption It’s very big, if we encircle it but not attack it, within three days they will definitely come down the mountain and fight us.”

After speaking, Lin Muyu smiled slightly, and said confidently: They chose the natural danger of Huofu Mountain as their nest, but they forgot the water source. They are digging their own grave!

Qi Ying was astonished, she cupped her fists and said, I never thought the general would be so powerful at such a young age...

No need to compliment me.

Lin Muyu raised his hand and said: Surround the mountain, the archers are ready for battle at any time, just wait for them to go down the mountain by themselves.

Yes, General! Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Originally, many soldiers thought that forcibly attacking the mountain would result in huge losses, but now it seems that with a resourceful commander like Lin Muyu, there is no need to suffer too much loss.

There is a saying in the art of war that the army is based on food, but it is the same if it is water.

...

Lin Muyu thought that he only had a superficial understanding of the art of war, but compared to the big game envoy on the mountain, he himself was already well versed in the art of war.
