The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 279 Courage and Determination...

There is another reason why Lin Chong strives for this position: he trusts Gu Jingzhi.

Since he and Gu Jingzhi met, they had experienced some dangerous moments, but they managed to accomplish it in the end.

Especially in situations like this, the more impossible people think it is, the more unexpected it is, and the greater the chances of success!

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this strategy seemed to be helping him and Gu Huan to ascend to power.

After all, whether crossing Lingshan or taking a detour, one needs the courage to die, and the other requires extremely fast speed of penetration.

The first one is something that only a few people can do, but when they all feel that there is little hope, they are more likely to give up, so in the end it will fall on the death row camp.

As for the second one, it seems that there are many people who can do it, and there are even a certain number of cavalry in the northwest.

However, compared with the new cavalry like Lin Chong, they are still inferior, so it is inevitable that this task falls on Lin Chong!

Sure enough, after Xue Ruhai pondered for a while, he finally gave the task to Lin Chong.

Then another 300 people were selected from the death row camp.

Gu Jingzhi's guess was correct. There were indeed brave men who showed up under the heavy reward. Three hundred death warriors were quickly selected, and Gu Huanzhi was among them.

As a criminal slave who had experienced nine battles, he had many new scars on his body. Fortunately, Gu Jingzhi had laid a good foundation for him, otherwise he didn't know whether he could survive.

Although the death camp is cruel and the prisoners are always at the forefront of every charge, the army generally knows that they have no idea where they will come from and may die at any time, so the army does not treat them harshly.

At least you can eat enough during wartime, so you won’t lose your life in vain!

Gu Huanzhi also saw Gu Jingzhi's appearance, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, especially after hearing Xue Ruhai announce the order, his eyes became even more fiery.

after all……

If he can survive this time, he will be a captain!

He originally thought that it would be good enough if he could return to normal life after this war, but he didn't expect to see the hope of promotion.

Regardless of qualifications or strength, Gu Huanzhi, who has experienced nine battles, is a big brother-level figure in the death row camp, and he is the only one.

The cruelty of this can be imagined.

Gu Huanzhi was able to survive nine battles, and the attitude of everyone in the camp, from the generals to the soldiers, towards him became slightly better.

Ancient people believed in destiny. Even those who survived three beheadings on the execution ground were considered to be destined by heaven and could be acquitted. What about a criminal slave who could survive ten fights on the battlefield?

Although Gu Huanzhi still needs one more chance, everyone knows that unless it is a battle where he is sure to die, Gu Huanzhi will definitely become an elite soldier in the Great Xia Army in the future, or even be promoted to general.

Therefore, the attitude towards him in the army gradually softened!

After selecting the men, Xue Ruhai said in a deep voice, "Give them weapons and armor! Let them rest well in the camp for the next two days, and make sure they have enough food. And give them some broth!"

Xue Ruhai's order shocked all 300 people in the death row camp.

They originally just wanted to try to survive, but they didn't expect that they would be given armor and even broth!

Iron armor was what Gu Jingzhi requested. It was a rare item in the Great Xia Army. After all, the cost of making iron armor was too high, and the soldiers who could wear iron armor and go into battle were all elite!

Naturally, criminal slaves did not receive such treatment.

However, the situation this time was dangerous. In order to ensure victory in the war as much as possible, Gu Jingzhi tried his best to get hundreds of sets of armor for them.

As for the broth…

These criminal slaves are lucky enough to have enough to eat on a daily basis. If they rashly eat too much meat, it will not only fail to nourish their bodies, but may even cost them their lives.

The broth was just right!

Seeing that Xue Ruhai had arranged everything, Gu Jingzhi looked at him and said, "General Xue, I have something to say to them. Why don't we go back to the military tent first?"

These two people are naturally Lin Chong and Gu Huanzhi. Xue Ruhai knows in his heart that this strategy was proposed by Gu Jingzhi. These two special forces are the top priority of this battle, and Gu Jingzhi must have something to say about them!

When they returned to the military tent, Gu Jingzhi turned to the general who had crossed Lingshan Mountain and asked, "General, I would like to ask you a question!"

"what?"

The general was stunned for a moment, then said, somewhat flattered, "My Lord, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask directly. I, Old Liu, will answer them all!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly, then asked, "I'd like to ask, General, how many days did it take you to cross Lingshan Mountain back then?"

"About four and a half days!"

Without hesitation, Old Liu gave the answer, saying, "There were 700 of us brothers back then, but the mountain road was difficult to navigate, and there were too many of us to support it. That's why the road collapsed, and we lost... 400 of us brothers!"

After saying this, Old Liu looked a little sad.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi patted him on the shoulder. He understood in his heart that the number of 300 people was the conclusion he and his brothers had reached at the cost of their lives!

He looked at Gu Huanzhi and said, "In other words, it would take you three hundred men at most four days to cross Lingshan Mountain and reach the enemy camp. Lin Chong..."

"How about you? If I ask you to go around the Two-Headed Peak, how long would it take?"

After hearing this, Lin Chong stepped forward and said, "If we just take a detour and nothing unexpected happens, we can get there in three days!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi said, "I'll also give you four days! You two special forces will rest in the camp for two days, and then set out after breakfast the day after tomorrow. Starting from the moment you set out, the Death Row Camp will launch the first attack at dawn on the fifth day. Lin Chong, take advantage of the early morning snow and fog, which obscures the enemy's vision, and directly attack their main camp. Don't worry about the lives of the three tribal leaders!"

"Before that, the three hundred men in the Death Row Camp must hold the three tribal leaders back no matter what until Lin Chong arrives. Can you do it?"

"Swear to the death to complete the mission!"

Gu Huanzhi shouted in a low voice!

Although Lin Chong didn't say anything, the resolute expression on his face said it all.

Seeing that both of them were prepared, Gu Jingzhi said no more and just waved his hand to let them go!

There are many people here and it's not a good idea for him to have too much contact with them before they come back with their achievements, so as to avoid giving others any ideas.

After the two left, Xue Ruhai sighed, "Jingzhi, this plan...how confident are you?"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly and said, "Man proposes, God disposes. In such a harsh environment, I just thought that even if there is only a 10% chance, I have to make a plan!"

"War is inherently accidental. Only by doing what ordinary people cannot do can we survive in adversity and triumph in difficult situations!"

"As for victory or defeat, it depends on them!"

"..."

Xue Ruhai was silent. He asked, "..."
