Volume 1 Northeast War Chapter 9 Sorghum Heroic Soul

Everyone came to their senses when they heard Lu Qi's shout, they really couldn't believe that they could see such a spectacular herd of beasts, but at this moment, no one retreated, because they received Li Chuan's order to stop the fierce beast herd heading for Blue City at all costs, otherwise Blue City would definitely not be able to hold it.

But the 3,000 people faced this mighty beast of tens of thousands like an egg touching a stone, or in other words, throwing these 3,000 people into this group of beasts, like a stone thrown into the sea without a single wave.

"Run, you really want to follow this group of fierce beasts!" Lu Qi didn't know what kind of mission these three thousand people had, and he was sweating profusely at this time.

"Hong Qiben said that we can't let go of any beast to Blue City, this is the death order given to us by Commander Li Chuan. The big soldier next to him looked at Lu Qi with a puzzled expression.

"Be ready to fight, even if you die, you can't let a beast pass. Suddenly, a strong man in red armor shouted.

"Hong Qiben, no, there is only a dead end in hard fighting, we have to find a way to distract their attention, instead of sending them to death. "Lu Qi has never joined the army, the order has no absolute restraint on him, and he doesn't want to die!

Hong Qiben, who was sitting on the war horse, glanced at him, did not reply to him, Lu Qi hurriedly said: "Hong Qiben, the sky is about to get dark, it is better for us to withdraw first, and then attack these half-orcs when it is dark, as long as these half-orcs are dead, there will be no one to command these beasts, they will definitely not go to the Blue City, we don't need to fight them to death at all." ”

Hong Qiben heard Lu Qi's words, his brows furrowed slightly, he was also reluctant to touch it, there was only one life for his brothers, but looking at the half-orcs who were slowly approaching, the half-orcs also saw the three thousand Ziguo soldiers at this time, and the command beast with a "whooping" cry in his mouth suddenly came over, obviously it was too late to retreat at this time.

"Hong Qiben, at this time, there is no chance of winning, I can only give up the small to protect the big, leave five hundred soldiers to attract these fierce beasts, the large army will withdraw first, there are more than ten miles of sorghum land when I come, if I can run there, I have my own way to deal with these fierce beasts. Lu Qi watched the beasts getting closer and closer, his brain was running rapidly, and he suddenly thought of a way to deal with this group of fierce beasts, and said to Hong Qichang with a swear.

"Are you sure you have a way to deal with these beasts?" this Hong Qi was originally a five-color flag under the Southwest Tiger Guard camp.

"Yes, we'll be able to wipe out all of these beasts tonight. As he spoke, Lu Qi informed Hong Se of all his thoughts, and after hearing this, Hong Se ordered a group of Tiger Guards to stay, and the large army retreated towards the sorghum field.

The team that stayed behind knew that they might not be able to come back, but they had already thought of this outcome when they accepted this order, and everyone was not afraid, but showed a sense of perseverance.

"Brothers, take out the tiger courage of our Tiger Guards, the Tiger Guards have no bad seeds, even if we die, we will die on the way to charge. The captain did not wait for the beast to attack, but met the beast.

"Chong, eighteen years later, he is a good man again!"

"Rush, rush!"

The momentum of the charge of five hundred people seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops, and the shouts sounded, although the half-orcs were not afraid of death for some reason, but greeted them with the same howl as them, but the retreating tiger guards knew that this shout was not for others, but for themselves, be courageous!

Sure enough, five hundred people rushed into the herd of beasts and were immediately surrounded by fierce beasts, wolves and tigers mixed to fight, and more than half of the tiger guards fell at once, leaving only the horses neighing.

In just a few moments, all the tiger guards fell, and none of them could stand.

The orcs hula-hula, and commanded the beasts to chase after most of the retreating soldiers and horses in front.

This way of chasing, until more than an hour finally came to the sorghum field, this season's sorghum, but dead branches and leaves, very dry, can hide people there are not many places, but by the advent of night, the orcs can only vaguely see the Purple country soldiers abandon their horses and run into the sorghum field.

These orcs did not have high intelligence, thinking that these Purple Kingdom soldiers were the same as the five hundred people in front of them, so they also commanded the beasts into the sorghum field.

The night was already dark, and the sound of squirming in the sorghum field continued to sound, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Purple Country began to divide their troops when they entered the sorghum field for two miles, and every other mile they divided part of their troops to hide, until the last less than 100 tiger guards ran out of the sorghum field for ten miles.

The half-orcs did not enter the sorghum field, and the order they gave to the beasts was to chase these soldiers of the Purple Country, and the beasts were even less intelligent than the half-orcs, and they only knew to chase forward, but they did not know that the soldiers of the Purple Country were left every other mile.

Suddenly, the sorghum field was full of fire, the wildfire burned like an overwhelming place, burning from the front of the sorghum field to the tail, at this time the beasts of fierce beasts except elephants, wolves and tigers all entered the sorghum field, and the sorghum field was boring in winter, easy to ignite, as soon as the fire came, the wildfire burned, and soon it became a raging fire, burning the whole northeast night red.

The half-orcs outside the sorghum field realized that it was not good and wanted to command the beast to withdraw, but at this time, the beast encountered a wildfire, and had already confused its mind, so it could only rush around, and the wildfire lasted for a long time, and a burning smell gradually spread everywhere, which was extremely unpleasant.

The half-orcs looked at the raging fire, there was no way at all, the wildfire that lasted for most of the night, wiped out most of the wolves and tigers, looking at this scene, they gritted their teeth, and wanted to command the elephant to enter again, but the hot land elephants did not dare to approach a step, they did not dare to imagine what kind of loss this fire brought to the half-orc, so they rushed towards the direction of the blue city with the elephant in a gray manner, and they did not dare to stay here for a moment.

Far away from the sorghum field, Hong Se watched from afar as the fire devoured these fierce beasts, and it stands to reason that he should be extremely happy, but his face couldn't get any better at the moment, because in this sea of fire, there were also nearly 3,000 tiger guards.

Lu Qi's plan is to use the sorghum field to destroy this group of fierce beasts by burning it, but if you want to completely make the fire burn, it is not as simple as one or two people setting fire, but you need to set fire to the entire ten miles of sorghum land at once, so that the fierce beasts will not have a chance to run out of the sorghum field, so this requires more than 2,000 tiger guards to set fire at the same time, but before setting fire, they will dig a human-shaped pit in the sorghum field to prevent the fire from burning themselves.

Even if the plan is perfect, the fire lasted too long, and the Tiger Guards who divided their troops in front were okay, if it was the one in the rear, they would not have had a chance to dig a big hole, so the casualties were unimaginable, not to mention that the fire lasted so long, it is difficult to say whether the Tiger Guards could hold on.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the temperature of the sorghum field dissipated, but fortunately, it was still very cold at night in winter, Lu Qi got up from one of the pits, embarrassed, looking around, very few could climb out, and the rest of the living tiger guards naturally would not let go of the brothers who did not climb out, so they began a nervous rescue, until they were busy until noon, and then finished cleaning up the battlefield of the sorghum field.

At this moment, the sorghum field is no longer the same as before, but a pile of earthen tablets have been erected, the stele is engraved with a tiger guard without a name only a code name, although this fire made half of the wolves and tigers die, but the tiger guards died of more than 200 people because of dehydration, and more than 500 people who did not have time to prepare the pit, in this fire and the half-beast group died together with nearly a thousand people, and most of these people left behind used their own urine to not die of dehydration.

Looking at the earthen monuments, the living tiger guards don't know whether they are happy or sad, but this is not the time to grieve, because there are still elephant herds that have not been eliminated, and they want to return to the Blue City.

Back in the Blue City, it was already the evening of the fifth day, and the Blue City did not have the smoke and desolation brought by the imaginary war, except that the city walls were somewhat damaged, and the city seemed to be an empty city, without any sound of battle.

Blue City is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, Lu Qidi intuitively thinks that Blue City has been broken by orcs, this is the imperial capital, once Blue City is breached, the pillar of faith of tens of millions of people in the Purple Country will be gone.

But at this time, there was no trace of the half-orcs, Hunther led the remaining two thousand and three tiger guards straight into the city of Blue City, the city gate was closed, Hunther shouted: "The second battalion of the Southwest Tiger Guards five-color flag flag Ben Hunser, who is stationed in the city?"

Someone on the city wall poked his head out and saw that he was wearing red armor and holding the tiger head banner of the Southwest Tiger Guard, so he replied: "Wang Buer, the guard of the forbidden army, Hong Qiben waits." ”

With that, the guards in the city opened the city gates, and Hunser and the others entered the Blue City smoothly.

Entering the Blue City, there are traces of fighting everywhere you can see, Hong Se wants to go back to the Tiger Guard Camp, Lu Qi has experienced life and death on the sorghum field, thinking back to the past, he has already let go of his face.

If there is anything more worthy of nostalgia in this world than life, it must be family affection.

Returning to the Li Mansion compound, it was as quiet as the entire Blue City, except for the coughing sound that came from time to time in the courtyard.

When I got closer, I saw Li Chuan bandaged like a white zongzi, lying on the reclining chair and coughing constantly.

"Dad, the doctor said that you have to recuperate for a month from this injury, you can leave Lu Qi's matter to the child, and I will definitely find his bones." "It's Li Si who spoke, since he didn't find Lu Qi on the side of the labor, Li Chuan also received the news, and the one who couldn't let go of it was Lu Qi, who thought that he had died on the battlefield in the northeast and didn't return to Blue City with the labor.

This veteran who has guarded the southwest for many years for Ziguo almost fainted at the moment, and the old tears flowed: "This is the only bloodline of the eldest brother in the world, why am I not optimistic, eldest brother, I am really ashamed of you!"

But after all, he was in a high position, and after the sadness, he picked himself up again and was seriously injured in the battle of the Blue City Guard.

"Si'er, Lu Qi's father has been arrogant since he was a child, and his mind is active, and letting him go back to Blue City made him a big disaster, in the final analysis, it was his father's negligence in discipline that made him so young..."The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally sighed: "Alas, this is all fate!"

"Father-in-law, Lu Qi is unfilial, which makes you worried. Lu Qi listened to the conversation between Li Chuan's father and son, couldn't help crying, strode up to Li Chuan, knelt down fiercely, and kowtowed three times.

"Lu Qi, are you really Qi'er?" Li Chuan wanted to stand up excitedly, but his whole body was weak.

"Father-in-law, it's me, I'm Lu Qi, I'm back. Lu Qi choked up and replied.

"There are a lot of things that have happened during this time, just come back safely, and I will live up to your mother and your father's trust. After Li Chuan confirmed that it was Lu Qi, his entire spirit improved by half.

When Lu Qi saw Li Chuan's appearance, he couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, why are you so seriously injured?"

"Qi'er, my father-in-law was injured in the Blue City Guard Battle two days ago, and he broke a few ribs, and he will be fine after recuperating for a while. Li Si said from the side.

Seeing Lu Qi return safely, Li Si was also very excited, and after seeing him doing filial piety, he couldn't help but come up and punch him.

This punch is not light or heavy, but Lu Qi feels so real and cordial, he has experienced too much in this half a year, first he was caught in a secret prison by the royal guards for no reason, and half a year later he was escorted to the Northeast in a daze, and suddenly encountered a half-orc invasion, and was escorted to Wuyang, and then experienced the entire Northeast War himself.

"Second brother, did the half-orcs really attack the Blue City? Why can't there be any trace of the half-orcs outside the city?Did the Blue City win?" Lu Qi went all the way, and he still had questions in his heart.

"It's a long story, Lu Qi, don't ask. Li Si glanced at Li Chuan, wanted to say something and endured it.

"That's it, Si'er, Qi'er is not too young, there are some things that should be known to him, you should tell him. Li Chuan lay on the reclining chair, looking at Lu Qi who was in the dust, and he didn't know if this time was right or wrong, if Lu Qi really had the demeanor of the eldest brother back then, he would never be able to wash away the shame of Blue City.

So, Li Si told the secrets of the palace that the ordinary people of Blue City did not know.
