Chapter 226: Chapter 136: Psychological Tactics, General Slaying and Banner Seizing (Part 4)

And what about Zhuo Yunfei?

He’s quite a talent.

Initially, the thousands of surrendered soldiers were all in a state of panic and depression.

Who knows what he said, but just by riding his horse from the Bow Camp to the Infantry Camp, shouting a few words, these people surprisingly regained their morale.

Even that Commander Hu Yong had a lively look in his eyes, with a slight smile on his face.

He stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings to the Captain, sir."

"Hu Yong, I’ve heard of your talent in training soldiers...

Now that Beizhou has invaded, Xingqing Prefecture is in critical danger.

Soon, I need to recruit troops and reinforce our army, and you will be responsible for this task. Can you accept it?"

Chen Ping carefully examined this Infantry Commander.

He realized that this person was actually just a step away from reaching the Innate level.

His cultivation was solid as rock, and his demeanor was very steady.

However, according to rumors, he was not a confidant of that Zhang Lianshan, but was promoted from the lower ranks, with great skill in training soldiers.

Therefore, even if not highly favored, he was still given the post of Infantry Commander.

This kind of person can be used, but should not be rushed; he won’t be given the command of troops yet. With time, once his loyalty is secure, he can be relied upon more heavily.

"As you command."

Hu Yong seemed not to be talkative, replied solemnly, without a trace of disappointment for losing the command, while there was even a hint of joy between his brows.

"Senior Brother, the infantry will be under your command. Remember to assign personnel, change guards at the four gates, and replace all the City Gate Officers." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Yes, Captain."

Zhang Gu was full of joy.

He changed his tone quite quickly.

Thus, it shows he is actually very smart.

"As for the cavalry..."

Not many were lost when charging before, with over thirty horses lost, but it’s no great harm.

Chen Ping was a bit hesitant in choosing the candidate for this command.

"I will, I will, my riding skill is excellent. The Secret Manual of the One-Character Soaring Snake Array was also found in Zhang Lesui’s possession, it surely won’t be hard for me."

Han Xiaoru unexpectedly appeared from somewhere, her smile blossoming like a flower.

Teaching students is nothing compared to the thrill of fighting on horseback.

"The battlefield is perilous..."

Chen Ping pondered.

"What’s the point of practicing sword if afraid of danger? Once Senior Sister breaks through in strength, it’ll be others facing danger." Han Xiaoru slightly raised her brows, unusually serious as she spoke: "Before, my father and mother were always protective, worrying about this and that, but they never thought I’ve grown up, even older than you. I can’t always be sheltered, right?"

"You it is." Chen Ping nodded, pointing at the downcast cavalrymen: "You have the time of three incense sticks to organize the cavalry and select the elite to enter the city before dark."

"Is it to flatten those two martial halls?"

One must admit, Han Xiaoru’s thought process is quite similar to Chen Ping’s.

Clearly, she’s not very bright.

Yet she can guess what Chen Ping is thinking.

"Exactly them. No matter what the Beizhou Barbarians are plotting, the local powers of Xingqing Prefecture must be taken first.

With every step ahead, you stay ahead. And by then, they will also taste being surrounded on all sides."

Chen Ping laughed.

Now is the time to seize the moment.

Before the other side has reacted.

First clip their wings, and gather all the local official forces of Xingqing Prefecture.

If they refuse, then kill.

It’s hard to believe that Vice Magistrate Wu alone could still hatch any major plans even if he united with the Beizhou Barbarians?

As for the Heir of Jinghai and the Cui Family’s powers, whether they choose to enter the city en masse or besiege...

With a large army at hand, and experts around, we’ll then decide the winner.
