Half an hour later, the battle was over.

When Ma Rong and Qin Yingqi, who were softly bombarded by the Bull Demon King with a laser cannon, were defeated by Qin Yingqi, they were defeated by Qin Yingqi, and after being cut off by Qin Yingqi, the rebels immediately gave up resistance, and most of them fled in all directions, and a small number stayed in place and surrendered because they worshiped Chen Ning, the god of war.

When Chen Ning appeared with the main force of the Freedom Wings with black pressure, the rebels who surrendered were stunned one by one, they thought: Ma Rong is really looking for death, the god of war Chen Ning himself and the main force have not yet arrived, Ma Rong has already been killed by the advance force of the Freedom Wings, and this strength is still delusional to argue with Chen Ning, it is really self-defeating.

The advance force of the Wings of Liberty lost very few men, almost negligible.

Chen Ning was very satisfied with the performance of the Bull Demon King and Qin Yingqi in this battle, and praised the two and said, "Well done." ”

Qin Yingqi was rewarded by Chen Ning, and he could still remain reserved and smile complacently, while the Bull Demon King couldn't help it at all, he smiled and couldn't smile, in the minds of these people, Chen Ning was too powerful, so powerful that they admired and worshipped. Even as Chen Ning's subordinates, they are often ashamed of themselves, feeling that they have dragged Chen Ning back, and everyone is secretly working hard, wanting to become stronger and want to be recognized by Chen Ning.

So now to get Chen Ning's praise, I am really happier than worshipping the marquis.

Ma Rong's rebel army is Sun Shuojie's descendant, so the supplies are very sufficient, Chen Ning asked the quartermaster Liu Ruyan to take people to empty the warehouse and other materials. At the same time, he ordered the logistics to start burying the pot for cooking, and took out all the wine and meat collected from here to reward the whole army.

As for the more than 1,000 rebels who surrendered, Chen Ning also incorporated them, and incorporated these people into reserves, which were considered miscellaneous soldiers, and their status was lower than the three angel troops in the Wings of Freedom.

There are no residents in this level, and there are no supplies, it is just a forward outpost of the rebels, which is used to guard against the imperial side, so Chen Ning did not linger, and after capturing this place, he continued to move forward and marched towards Hukou Pass.

There are more than 10,000 residents in Hukou Pass, and all of them are women and children, and countless cultivated land has been opened up here, and the residents can be self-sufficient, even if Chen Ning is stationed here with tens of thousands of soldiers with the Wings of Freedom, it can be fully afforded here.

Another reason for choosing this place is that the residents here have a very deep relationship with Chen Ning, and many veterans of Freedom Wings were selected from the residents here before. That is to say, for these veterans, the residents here in Hukou Pass are their relatives, and this place is home to them in a certain sense!

This is also the reason why Wings of Freedom wants to choose Hukou Pass as its home.

It turns out that humans are a very adaptable species, although the zombie army has ravaged this area before, the people of the southern provinces, dying, fleeing, and the rest of the people live in fear every day, living a life with today and no tomorrow. But since Chen Ning and Tears reasonably wiped out the zombie army of the Demon Scorpion Tyrant, many towns here have slowly gathered back again, although all industries are waiting to be developed, but the newly ploughed land, the buds of plants that have just been planted, and the angry smoke of the village in the evening are all showing that human beings are working hard to rebuild their homes in this ruin.

The military flag of the Wings of Liberty is still a large black flag, and the pattern of the flag is similar to before, and it is still a common angelic warrior holding it. The difference is that the previous angel warrior was a scarred, tired figure, symbolizing indomitability. And now the battle angel on the military flag has still changed to a tall back, which looks very similar to Chen Ning's back, straight and strong.

It is precisely because the modification of the military flag is very small and not much different from the previous one, so when the Wings of Freedom army appeared in the southern province, the residents of the large and small villages here saw the fluttering black military flag, one by one, from fear at the beginning, to surprise, to the final ecstasy, countless people rushed to tell each other: "It's Chen Ning, it's Chen Ning's troops of the god of war, it's Chen Ning's troops of the light of hope, oh my God, it's really them!"

Countless people ran out of the village, from the mountains and forests, to greet Chen Ning, although they were very poor, they did not hesitate to enrich the most precious food in their family, whether it was the newly picked fruit, or the eggs just laid by the old hen, or the white flour steamed buns that even the children were reluctant to eat, all of them were taken out and put in baskets, and first given to Chen Ning and Chen Ning's army.

Chen Ning didn't expect that in the minds of the people in the southern provincial war zone, he would have such a high position.

Originally, all the efforts and sacrifices made on the battlefield, as well as the grievances after being abandoned by the empire, as well as the confusion and depression about his past and future, were swept away, he looked at these people who respected him incomparably, and finally understood that everything he had done before was worth it, although he was abandoned by Xiao Ke and the empire, but all of this was equally meaningful.

As he said when he became a martial champion before, he did not fight for the empire, not for the army, but for the Chinese people.

In the face of such enthusiastic people, Chen Ning no longer dared to take the armored command car, he got out of the car, took Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi and a group of subordinates, walked forward on foot, and even hugged those excited residents to encourage each other.

In this way, the march of the Wings of Liberty slowed down for the next few days.

In the following week, Chen Ning and his Wing of Freedom encountered two rebel forces in a row, and they didn't say a word, so they started fighting directly.

With the existence of such a killing god as Chen Ning, the rebels were naturally unable to bargain for anything, and they were all defeated.

After another two days of marching, the Wings of Liberty finally arrived at Hukou Pass.

When Chen Ning and the others arrived at Hukou Pass, they were stunned.

It was found that nearly 20,000 people in Hukou Pass had come out to greet them, but the way of greeting them was a bit scary, nearly 1,000 men, who were tied up and kneeling in front of Hukou Pass, and behind each of the men who were tied, there was a resident with a gun, who seemed to be preparing to execute the more than 1,000 prisoners.

Chen Ning ordered the Wings of Freedom troops to stop, looking at the strange scene in front of him, a little stunned.

He turned his head and shouted, "Call Captain Diao." ”

Not long after, a young-faced lieutenant appeared in front of Chen Ning, it was Ah Diao.

Ah Diao saluted Chen Ning with a military salute: "Captain Ah Diao, I have seen the chief." ”

Chen Ning: "The residents of Hukou Pass were originally your relatives and friends, you are more familiar with them, you go over now, ask them what the situation is, what is the situation of us, why are we not welcomed, how can you arrest so many people and tie us up, do you want to kill people to scare us away, or do they want to die to make their will clear?"

Ah Diao was not very old, but he had a lot of prestige among the residents, and he walked over to the people in front of the Hukou Pass alone and asked what was going on.

Soon Ah Diao came back to report to Chen Ning, it turned out that Hukou Pass was the only way for the eastern and western regions of the southern provinces, plus the residents here had been stationed here early with Chen Ning's black army to develop here, so the materials here were relatively abundant.

So this place has long been targeted by the rebels, who have sent a force of 2,000 men to garrison here.

The residents of Hukou Pass had supported the rebels before, and they were also rebels, so now there is no garrison here, and the rebels control the entire southern province, so there are rebel troops to take over here, and the residents naturally did not resist and agreed.

However, after the 2,000-strong rebel army took over the area, it became more and more arrogant, not only oppressing the people and robbing them of food and supplies, because most of the residents were women and children, and these guys also abused women, which caused great anger among the people.

The people of Hukou Pass are fierce, because the southern provinces were the world of the rebels before, so they have endured it.

The day before yesterday, when they heard that Chen Ning had led the army back, the residents were immediately excited, and at night, the residents secretly discussed and drunk most of the rebel defenders with good wine, and then all the residents worked together to control this army.

Half of the rebels were killed in the rebellion, and the rest were tied up, and now more than 20,000 residents, women and children, are holding various weapons, waiting for Chen Ning and them to come back and kill these rebel brutes.

When Chen Ning heard this, he walked over with Kan Jing and Qin Yingqi and other subordinates, and one of the residents was holding a woodcutter and said excitedly: "Commander Chen, you are finally back, you don't know that you are not there, what kind of people we have been bullied into, now that you are back, we finally have the courage to resist...... Come on, let's kill these beasts and welcome General Chen home. ”

Suddenly, countless women and children were about to raise their butcher knives and slash the rebel men who were tied up.

Chen Ning hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

As he spoke, he snatched the dagger from the hand of a child beside him.

Chen Ning's behavior made everyone stunned, and the residents looked at Chen Ning suspiciously: "General Chen, do you think they don't deserve to die?"

Chen Ning looked at these women and children, and said calmly: "Fellow villagers, you have all suffered in our absence. Now that we're back, we're going to do this kind of thing. In the future, your women's hands will only be responsible for cooking and embroidering clothes, and your children's hands will only be responsible for grasping pens and writing to learn knowledge. Holding a knife to kill people and seeing blood, leave it to us to do a good job. ”

In an instant, countless women's eyes turned red when they heard Chen Ning's words.
