Chapter 6 Section VI

It was in the big warehouse where Runsheng and Li Lan had had affairs many times, and now it was filled with the smell of one hundred and ninety-three bloody cold children. In order to feed these one hundred and ninety-three people, Li Lan was busy all afternoon.They were to eat in four batches, and when the last batch was gone, the sixty who ate the first round were hungry again. But no one complained.They hadn't eaten so well in a long time.In order to avoid the guards and people in the "slaughterhouse" for a month, they rarely ate a bowl of cold porridge a day. The one hundred and ninety-three Xing Leng'er had been strictly selected by Di Bin, including cavalry, siege soldiers, infantry archers, and scout soldiers, and some even had the same assassination mission as Yu Runsheng and the others.Some belonged to the "Suppressing Chaos Army", and some escaped from the defeat of the "Qin Wang Division".However, living in poverty for more than three years has diluted the hostility between the barriers in the past.Today they just want to fight for themselves.

Everyone knows what they are here for. Yu Runsheng led Long Bai, Ge Yuansheng, Qi Chu, Lian Shou, Di Bin, Wu Chaoyi, and Ye Yi into the warehouse.All the Xing Leng'er immediately whispered to each other. Lian Shou glanced at the one hundred and ninety-three people, and then turned his gaze to Di Bin. ——Bai Dou, I'm proud of you. Di Bin didn't notice Lian Shou's gaze, he looked at Yu Runsheng solemnly.Without Yu Runsheng's praise, Di Bin couldn't confirm whether his work this time was completely successful.But since he came back, Yu Runsheng still hasn't said a word to him.

Long Bai inspected these newly recruited subordinates excitedly, a sense of power surged in his chest.Even though he knew that the "slaughter house" had a hundred times more troops than this, Long Bai was not afraid.He can't wait to grab the bow and arrow immediately, and lead this group of masters to attack Piaocheng by night.He was already imagining how his iron-rod black-feathered long arrow pierced Zhu Ya's neck—just as it pierced the neck of Wan Qunli, the vanguard general of the "Qin Wang Shi" that day. Qi Chu always had a sad expression.What he is most worried about is the large gap in troop strength.Although they have the support of "Feng Yilong" behind them, the "slaughterhouse" has a huge margin in terms of numbers, and also has the geographical advantage of Piaocheng.They can only rely on surprise attacks.

Qi Chu was well aware of the surprise attack strategy that Yu Runsheng had in mind—he also participated in the planning.The possibility of success certainly exists, but there are too many links involved.Every link must be executed correctly.The "slaughterhouse" with its solid strength allows for mistakes-even several times; but they can't afford to lose.Any error in any section is annihilated.There are no second chances. Ge Yuansheng never showed any expression. Yu Runsheng stood on a wooden box and raised his left hand slightly.This small gesture silenced everyone. He closed his eyes as he spoke.

"My name is Yu Runsheng. Some of you may have heard my name. I, as well as my sworn brother, are Xing Leng'er just like everyone else. The Xing Leng'er who was abandoned by heaven and man." "I just want to tell you two things today. The first thing I think everyone already knows: One day there is a 'slaughterhouse', and we can't live in Piaocheng." "What is a floating city? If we were trees, the floating city would be mud; if we were fish, floating city would be water. Do you think you have any other place to go? Back home to work in the fields? To other towns Continuing to live like a beggar? Yes, that may guarantee ten or twenty more years of life. Then until the day of death, I will regret it all the time—regret what a precious opportunity I missed.”

"In the army, no one ever told us why we fought. Now I can tell you why we fought the 'slaughter house'. For food. For drink. For women. For money..." Yu Runsheng opened his eyes at this moment.Those two strange lights shocked everyone present. "...Also, to prove that we are better than them. To prove that we are more worthy to be the masters of Floating City. Cut off the other party's panicked face, step on the ground soaked in the enemy's blood, and listen to their women and children cry— —There is nothing more joyful than that." Di Bin's body throbbed.He has always been afraid of Runsheng, but he has never felt Yu Runsheng's terrifying and wild side like this moment.

——From then on, Di Bin often thought of Yu Runsheng's expression when he said these few words.until thirty years later. Then Yu Runsheng and Qi Chu started to reorganize the one hundred and ninety-three people. The first is the bow and arrow team, a total of forty-seven people, of course led and trained by Long Bai.The hard bows and arrow branches have already been delivered from Dai Town, and each bow has been trimmed and adjusted by Long Bai, and the shaft and feathers of each arrow have been carefully inspected by him.The arrow clusters are all sharpened by the sickle head, and the enemy cannot resist it even if they are wearing armor.

Followed by cavalry.Originally there were sixty-nine cavalrymen, but unfortunately "Feng Yilong" sent only forty horses.The strongest of them will also be left for the commanding scythe to ride.Due to the inability to provide enough food and grass, the forty horses remained in Dai Town. The largest lineup is the siege team, a total of 107 people, of which 78 people have real siege experience, and the rest will step up practice in the future.They will be the main force to attack the "slaughterhouse".Yu Runsheng announced that this most important force would be commanded by Di Bin, with Wu Chaoyi as his deputy.

Di Bin looked at Yu Runsheng in amazement, but Yu Runsheng didn't look at him. "Also..." Yu Runsheng said: "Bai Dou is also in charge of the commander-in-chief of the three armies. When he wants to command the entire attack, Wu Chaoyi will be temporarily in charge of the siege army." Long Bai felt a little unhappiness.He is always second. "Boss, what about you?" Long Bai tried to keep his tone as calm as possible when speaking. "Aren't you in charge of the overall situation?" "I want to serve as Pang Wenying's military advisor. The fourth child also wants to go with me." He pointed at Qi Chu. "The fourth child is not suitable for front-line command. I have to stay by Pang Wenying's side. I want to make sure I know what's going on with 'Feng Yilong' in Dai Town, and let them cooperate with our actions. Otherwise, we will kill Zhu Ya's head." If it is cut down and the 'massacre' is occupied, it will only become a lone army to be besieged."

He turned to Ye Yi. "Xiaoye, you are in charge of conveying my instructions to Baidou and the battle situation in Piaocheng to me. This is the most dangerous job. You only have one person and one horse, and you will give it to the "slaughterhouse" at any time." Intercept. You will go back and forth between Dai Town and Piao City in the shortest possible time. If the horse is exhausted, you will have to run with your feet. Can you do it?" Ye Yi nodded vigorously without even blinking. "Okay." Yu Runsheng turned to Ge Yuansheng. "Third brother, I will arrange for you to return to Piaocheng later."

"What?" Long Bai rushed to call.Ge Yuansheng didn't raise his red eyebrows. Yu Runsheng ignored Long Bai. "Third brother, you must go back to the city. I have an important errand for you. Just hide in the place last time. I will use the spies 'Feng Yilong' who stayed in the city to tell you what to do." Ge Yuansheng nodded, with an expression of indifference. In fact, Yu Runsheng still had a secret reason why he couldn't keep Ge Yuansheng in the farm.For this reason he swore never to tell anyone... "Boss, you said just now that you have two things to say. What about the second one?" Qi Chu asked.His mind is always the most detailed. "Yes..." Yu Runsheng was silent for a while, then turned to face the 193 subordinates again. "And one more thing to say: don't think I'm from 'Yoshitaka'. We - I mean including you - are not fighting for 'Yoshitaka'. After victory, we will have our own gang." There was commotion in the warehouse.Except for Ge Yuansheng who still didn't care, the faces of the sworn brothers all changed.Although Qi Chu had thought about this kind of thing, he couldn't believe it would happen so soon. "Boss... Boss..." Long Bai said softly, "This...'Feng Yilong' won't... agree?..." "Second!" Yu Runsheng grabbed Long Bai's arm. "Don't be like this again, okay? When did your Boss Yu lie to you? When did you say unsure lies?" "No...no..." Long Bai threw Yu Runsheng's palm away. "I've even decided on the name of the gang." Yu Runsheng raised his head proudly with his hands on his hips.He rarely showed his emotions like this, but now he couldn't help himself. "It's called 'Big Tree Hall'."
