While Qin Ming ordered his personal guards to send a message to Qin Liang, he also ordered them to organize the Wasteland soldier to guard the Ningxian. Just as Qin Ming finished speaking, a few of the personal guards knocked on the copper gong. Not long later, the entire Ningxia County sounded together, looking extremely urgent and ear-piercing.
Although the Ningxia County was located at the northernmost tip of the Shang Gu, in order to guard against the attacks of the fresh inferior, the city walls were still large. However, the Ningxian was constantly being attacked by the Hu people, the city walls were broken. If the Urushion started to attack fiercely, Qin Ming really didn't know if he could defend or not.
”Marshal, Urushion is here!”
Qin Ming turned his head around, and saw that outside Ningxian City, there were suddenly sounds of bustling horse hooves coming from between the rolling hills. A bright torch leisurely rose up from behind the mountain ridge, and in a blink of an eye, it pierced through the vast expanse between the sky and the fields. Under the red light of the fire, a huge Cavalry spread across the fields.
”Pass down the order, all young and strong men of the Ningxian, regardless of whether they are officials or civilians, will guard the city walls tonight. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!”
After the alarm was rung, the young and muscular men of Ningxian ran towards the city walls. The people in the desert seemed to be used to it, and no one lost their head. Many torches lit up the dark night sky, and the sounds of footsteps mixed with the crying of children could be heard. There seemed to be a woman screaming in the middle, though no one knew what had happened.
There were not many residents of Ningxia County, they were all Chinese who came to the city to avoid fresh inferior and Urushion. Fortunately, more than fifty thousand of them came to Wasteland soldier, causing the citizens of the city to become more confident.
Even though Ningxian County's Mu Chen Yang was a thirty year old scholar, she had already been in Ningxian for a few years. She had some experience in defending against fresh inferior. As soon as he heard the alarm bells, he knew that the enemy was coming and ran up the wall.
”Marshal, how many enemies have come?”
”Over ten thousand Urushion s.”
Chen Yang looked out and saw a dense mass of cavalrymen on the vast snow plains, slowly surrounding the city walls. The countless flames grew brighter and brighter, gradually turning the night sky blood-red. It was as if the dense blood had been diluted by the rain. When Yang Lin's group returned to the Jizhou, the Generals s and strategists were both surprised and happy. Even the Zhang Banxian, who still had lingering fear in her heart, had a face full of shock. However, when they saw the imperial edict with their own eyes, their faces were filled with joy.
Yang Lin immediately used his authority as a rider to recommend a large group of generals to the imperial government. According to the method of the big man, all the military officials above Fan Sima were appointed by the imperial government. In the end, not only did Yang Lin recommend Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Pan Feng, Yu She and the other high-ranking officers to be the leaders, he also recommended Zhang Ling, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue, Xin Ping and Xin Pi to be the strategists.
At the same time, he had also called for He Yi, He Man, Qin Ming, Gong Dou and the other generals to become generals. In the entire army of the cavalry of Youzhou, only Xun Yu and Xun You who were wanted by the imperial government had not been allocated a spot.
As a result, these people were tightly tied to Yang Lin's chariot. No matter if it was the emperor or the Minister of the Court, they would all think that they were Yang Lin's people now. Even if they wanted to leave Yang Lin now, they would be seen as betraying their master.
Outside Qing He City, three teams had already gathered. The camp had been pulled up, the bags packed, and the time for departure had finally come. Everyone seemed to be in a rather heavy mood. No one was joking, and no one moved. They were all quietly waiting for the moment to depart.
It was a sunless morning, and the thick clouds in the sky were pressing down heavily on everyone's hearts. The hundred people heading towards Sun Nan gathered all of the Generals s in the field and stood in a black mass. Their eyes were all looking in one direction.
On the high platform in front of the field, Yang Lin, his brothers and the strategists stood still. Everyone had an unusually grave expression. It was unknown if they were looking at the field generals or at the distant sky. Yang Lin raised his hand high up in the air, causing everyone's eyes to focus on him.
”Brothers, fresh inferior is invading our borders again. Killing our compatriots and stealing our food, we will commit all sorts of crimes! We are the soldiers of the big sized man, we must not tolerate the fresh inferior s killing people and setting fires, burning people and looting things! Take up your swords and spears, I commanded. This big man is powerful! ”
”The big man is powerful!”
”The big man is powerful!”
”The big man is powerful!”
All the soldiers let out lion-like roars that resounded through the vast sky like the thunder of early spring. The thick clouds seemed to sense the spring thunder and gradually dispersed. The sunlight that had not been seen for a long time passed through the layers of clouds and scattered all over the land.
”Let's go!”
Following Yang Lin's order, all the soldiers turned around and started striding towards the north. Urgent footsteps thumped the ground neatly, like the beating of a thick war drum. Fierce fighting spirit burned in the hearts of the soldiers.
”Lord General, it's been another year.”
