Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 38 Before the War
Half a day later, Wang Liang and the three Gui Bu Ming left the City God Temple with strange looks on their faces.
They have already agreed with the City God that the battle will start at noon tomorrow, so they only need to arrive at the designated location early tomorrow morning.
But Wang Liang always felt that something was not right. It seemed as if everyone was giving in to him along the way, and things were going too smoothly.
This made Wang Liang feel a little uneasy. He firmly believed that no one would help others without a reason. Such unconditional help was either due to previous karma or because the other party had something to ask for later.
Although he didn't know what Lu Chenghuang's intention was, Wang Liang was somewhat worried.
After all, he is no longer alone now, but leads a team of dozens of people.
In fact, Wang Liang didn’t know that when he left, several leaders of major forces in Yanggu County held a small gathering.
After inviting them to sit in the back hall, Lord Lu said to Hua Dian, the commander of the garrison troops: " General , this time everything depends on you."
"Don't worry, this is what I should do." Although Huadian is a military general, he is still very polite.
At the same time, he also knew what he should do.
At this time, Lord Lu said: "General Hua, when the war starts this time, please pay more attention to Fellow Daoist Duocai.
I'm afraid that he will act rashly and fail to do what he promised to do because of his youthful impetuosity."
"Yes, he took it for granted. He actually wanted to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and the Demonic Tiger with his hundred men. Even if his family gave him more soldiers, he would not do it this way."
Huadian recalled Wang Liang’s previous performance and couldn’t help but shook his head.
As a general, what he feared most was not the civil servants, but the second generation like Wang Liang. These people had no skills, but liked to show off. They thought they were invincible with their own servants.
It would be fine if they were just in a safe place. If something happened to them, a general like Hua Dian would have to go to great lengths to rescue them.
If they lose troops because of trying to rescue them, or if the mission fails, they will be blamed.
It can be said that Huadian hates people like Wang Liang the most.
But they have no choice. What they are most skilled at is how to clean up the mess for second-generation people like Wang Liang.
"General Hua doesn't need to worry too much. I think although Fellow Daoist Duocai is a little bold, he still has some strength. I guess it won't be a problem for him to fight against Yin Xun and Shan Jing, two of the Four Heavenly Kings. After defeating these two, his strength will be almost depleted. He will retreat from the subsequent battles and will not insist on participating.
The subsequent battles will depend on General Hua’s command.”
Hua Dian nodded affirmatively, and then looked towards General Yu.
"General Yu, the next two battles will depend on you."
General Yu said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
That’s right, the first two steps they discussed were to lead the attacking team of the Yinbing Corps and the Mountain Patrol Team out of the Demon Ridge Jingyanggang.
In this way, they can kill two of the Four Heavenly Kings at Jingyanggang.
As for Black Bear Laohei and the Ghost Infantry Commander, they would definitely not come out, so they could only fight their way in.
The sailors of the Dragon King Temple could not stay away from the water for too long, so they chose to serve as the main force in the first and second battles and did not participate in the subsequent battles.
Seeing General Yu's answer, General Hua felt relieved and he asked about the logistics supply.
After all, the population here is around 7,000 to 8,000, and we can boast in external publicity that the number of people exceeds 10,000.
The logistics supply here must be taken care of.
Although each team brings their own weapons and equipment, meals and other things must be provided, as well as herbs and the like.
Besides, this battle doesn't require all the people to be gathered together, so it can be finished within a day.
According to Huadian's estimation, we will start gathering points early tomorrow morning, march forward in the morning, start fighting the first wave at noon, and it will be a great achievement if we can defeat the second wave before dusk.
They had no plans to enter the Demon Ridge Jingyanggang for a night battle, so they had to camp outside for one night.
Then, they marched to Jingyanggang in the early morning of the next day.
If all goes well, they will reach the demon tiger at noon the next day, when the sun is at its highest.
If things don't go well, it might take them even longer to get in.
No matter what the situation is, eating and drinking along the way will cost you your life.
If not handled properly, it may not take long for morale to collapse.
Therefore, Huadian is very concerned about this aspect and has put forward many strict requirements.
The decision to go to war had already been made, so the Yanggu County Magistrate would naturally not hold Huadian back on this issue. He agreed to most of the requests made by Huadian.
And it was guaranteed that someone would prepare meals at the designated location early tomorrow morning and wait for the army to gather.
While they were discussing this matter, the leaders of the small gangs and forces who had left gathered together to discuss Wang Liang's matter.
"Brothers, did you see that? That's the old man."
"See it, don't see it, the City God and the others are just piling the credit on him."
"Yes, I heard that he came from the other side of the post. He drank a little and showed off his wealth, so he was targeted by the demon tiger. He fought his way out and escaped to this side. I heard that he was the one who led the siege of Jingyang Post this time.
This is revenge.”
"Really? I heard that it wasn't true. I heard that he was the second prince of the Dragon King's family. He came here to obtain the inner elixir of the demon tiger and prepare to combine the dragon and the tiger."
"What you heard is all wrong. You underestimated the Dragon King. Didn't you notice that the people following him were all celebrities in Yanggu County? The Dragon King planned this several years ago in order to take over the position of Mountain God."
"Are you kidding me? What does the Dragon King want with the Mountain God's throne?"
"You don't understand this, right? This is the art of combining the five elements and harnessing the dragon's energy.
I have my eyes to guarantee that this is the case, just wait and see."
Although all kinds of rumors are spreading more and more, one thing is certain, Lu Chenghuang and others are supporting Wang Liang to the position.
Therefore, the leaders of these small forces have already made up their minds that in the battle tomorrow, they will just wave their flags in the background and not steal the limelight from Wang Liang.
Besides, it’s useless for them to steal the limelight. Wouldn’t it be nice to share the spoils alive?
Why do you have to rush up and die? It would be much better to just fight the soldiers.
Killing soldiers is safe, and you can gain military merit, and you can get a share of the benefits in the end. With such a good thing, why would you challenge the BOSS? Even if you win the battle and get a lot of benefits, you will get nothing if you die.
