"Why?"

The lord's rhetoric question hit everyone's heart.

They were also asking themselves back.

Did the lord say it wrong?

No, the lord is right.

They have never fought, and compared to those veterans who have fought for a hundred years, they are just new recruits.

They themselves cannot guarantee whether they will shrink or retreat when they see the other party's long sword coming.

But today's lord's words made everyone feel depressed and breathed.

They are all seven feet tall men, born to stand tall.

Who would be considered inferior by others?

Especially when they practice, they practice every day. Is it because they have never been on the battlefield that they are criticized to be worthless?

Suddenly, another dark-faced man among the three hundred people stood up, and his face turned red, almost roared: "Just rely on a three-foot long sword in my hand!"

As he said that, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, waved it suddenly, the long sword roared and made a sound of breaking through the air.

Kong Xingyue's face changed drastically. Could it be that he was about to whistle?

This is what he is most worried about. These 300 people are all wearing iron pagodas, and they cannot penetrate ordinary swords, bows and arrows. If it is a camp roar...

Then Wanmin City is over!

Xu Mu stared at him, and the man was also staring at Xu Mu.

Originally, he was one of his personal guards, so he did not dare to look at Xu Mu.

But Xu Mu's words today deeply hurt the self-esteem of 300 people, and naturally he also included him.

The man simply plucked up his courage and looked directly at Xu Mu. In his eyes, the previous flame was burning quietly, with a faint prairie fire.

When Xu Mu saw this look, he knew that the pre-war mobilization had achieved the effect.

He looked at the man's long sword in his hand and asked, "What are your three-foot swords?"

Speaking of this, the man even raised his head and chest, and a sense of pride engraved into his bones emanated: "A certain hand has a knife three feet long, and the lord points to it will keep it from leaving any chickens and dogs!"

During Zhang Xutuo's training, these soldiers have always been practicing swords for two years.

Not only this man, when talking about their abilities, more and more people are holding their heads up and giving different answers at the top of their voices.

"I have never experienced the battle formation, but I will never fear death!"

"Someone can kill the enemy, and get off the horse can farm!"

"I was born to the sky, and I should stand on the ground even if I die, and I will never let my lord down and live a secret life!"

...

Everyone, stimulated by Xu Mu, expressed their bold ambitions one after another.

Kong Xingyue was stunned by this scene.

What's going on? Didn't you still want to whistle just now?

In addition, he didn't quite understand why a group of men, when they were talking about their abilities, were crying and snot flowing wildly.

Perhaps it was Xu Mu who mercilessly lifted their scars today.

He put the title of elite personal guards they were proud of!

In this way, on the training ground, three hundred guards cried and talked about their abilities, while Xu Mu listened quietly on the platform.

These personal guards in front of you need an opportunity to vent.

But Kong Xingyue saw that the soldiers he led were actually crying, frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "What kind of morality does the people in the army cry?!"

When he blew, the three hundred guards raised their heads and looked at Xu Mu.

The army is of strict hierarchy. Xu Mu is not here, Deputy General Kong is the boss. If Xu Mu is here, Deputy General Kong will be the second.

Xu Mu also stared at the three hundred guards in front of him, and his stern face finally relaxed, showing a smile: "Relax may not be a true hero, how can Lianzi not be a husband? Deputy General Kong thought you were the youngest daughter, but it seemed that he was the true nature!"

"The man doesn't talk lightly when he has tears, but he has not reached the touching place. Today, we will celebrate the first battle of the Tiefutu Army with our tears and the enemy's passionate blood!"

"Congratulations for the battle!"

After Xu Mu said that, the other three hundred guards raised their heads and chests, and did not wipe away the tears in the corners of their eyes, allowing them to flow and slide into the cold iron pagoda.

"Congratulations for the battle!"

Almost in unison, the three hundred guards shouted loudly at the top of their voices, full of fighting spirit.

Everyone was holding their breath.

You must never let your lord be underestimated!

If the lord doesn’t believe they can win a battle, then they will win a battle for the lord to show!

The lord said that they were not as good as the Xiaoguo Army, which had been through many battles, so they cut off the Xiaoguo Army's head and presented it to the lord!

Although the Three Hundred Guards did not say these words, the fighting spirit in their eyes and the murderous aura in their eyes were undoubtedly revealed.

Even Kong Xingyue, who trained them personally, felt that the army in front of him was a little unfamiliar at this moment.

Is this... still the personal guard he trained?

...

Outside the mountains.

Before Dugu Shengchen was about to arrive, he led the army of three thousand Xiaoguo into the mountains to find people.

He adopted a strategy of secretly escorting the front and preventing accidents along the way.

Li Mi's front is about to attack, and Yangcheng will be attacked by Pei Renji in a few days.

He must find His Majesty within these two days and then leave safely with His Majesty.

Either return to Dongdu or go to Jiangdu!

However, after Yangcheng, there are dense mountains, steep roads in the deep mountains, and many obstacles, so it is difficult for three thousand troops to form formations. If they encounter an enemy attack...

That’s right, after several times entering the mountain, Dugu Sheng could already judge that there were traitors living in the deep mountains!

If it weren't for this, the detectives sent by the Xiaoguo Army to patrol the previous few times would not have disappeared.

"The whole army is vigilant, and we must not slacken off!"

Dugu Sheng has been through the battlefield for a long time and is experienced. He knows that a dense forest like this cannot easily make the army disconnect.

Otherwise, once the other party charges, the army will scatter and they will be completely defeated!

The most important thing is that he is not sure how many thieves were hiding in the mountains.

If it is hundreds, the three thousand Fruit Army will be enough to deal with it.

If there are thousands, the other party will take advantage of the geographical advantage, and the three thousand Fruit Army will be able to protect itself at most!

So even if he was commanding the most elite troops of the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Sheng did not dare to be careless.

In this way, by noon, the three thousand troops had not yet discovered the hidden sentry area arranged outside Wanmin City.

However, Dugu Sheng was cautious and the entire army was on guard for a whole morning. He was exhausted. He thought for a moment and let the entire army rest on the spot.

"I guess in another hour, I will reach the thief's nest. I hope your Majesty is not exposed..."

Dugu Sheng frowned and looked at the distant mountains and jungles. At present, there was nothing unusual.

But based on his years of military experience, he could already judge that it was the den of a thief not far ahead.

Because of that direction, there are many valleys and wide terrain, it is very easy to set up camps.

After a short rest, Dugu Sheng led his army to set off again.

Heading forward, three thousand people formed two queues and moved forward one after another. Seeing that the area he was about to approach, Dugu Sheng's eyelids twitched. Seeing that birds were flying on both sides of the trees ahead, his face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted: "The whole army stopped moving forward, lined up the fish scale formation, spread out everywhere, echoed each other, and maintained the formation!"

The ancients once said that when a forest is invaded.

The most important thing is that the more trees there are, the more you can hide your enemies.

The ancients used the most primitive method to judge whether there were enemies in the forest.

That's the flying bird.

Dugu Sheng is worthy of being a long-time general on the battlefield. He glanced at the sky and the birds wandered in the forest ahead and refused to fall, so he knew something was wrong.

What Dugu Sheng chose was the fish scale formation, which is also the most suitable for the current combat environment.

Originally, there were two long rows when moving forward, but if you encounter a surprise attack at this time, it would be extremely unfavorable.

The fish scale formation is to arrange the entire army into six rows, like fish scales, with layers of protection and echoing each other, which can prevent the enemy from rushing to the formation to the greatest extent.

The weakness is only in the fish tail, but in the mountains and forests, this is not a weakness at all. The opponent cannot take a detour and attack, and can only attack head-on.

Sure enough, after the dense woods in front of them, one burly man in armor rushed out, holding a three-foot sword and rushed towards them from a high place.
