Chapter 4: The Southern Army

The way to the south is far away, looking at the sky, Zhou Xiao pressed his chest with his hand, where is the only object left by his mother, a black stone necklace. For so many years, he can only place his thoughts like this. Zhou Xiao's gaze became firm, and his face was so handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes were full of energy.

What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that a cavalryman beside him noticed his actions, and this cavalryman decided at this moment that he would follow this person for the rest of his life.

In the capital of Lin Guoguo, Lin Chongshan was in a very good mood sitting on the chair, he was very satisfied with Zhou Xiao's talent, and Lin Guo's prosperity was just around the corner. His hand brushing his beard suddenly paused, his face sank, he let Zhou Xiao learn the sword for two years, and he didn't give him a sword before leaving, he almost went out of the house and didn't take anything.

A few days later, Zhou Xiao was also a little distressed by this matter.

When the traveling food team encounters a robber who blocks the way, the soldiers who follow it should play their role, but the robber who dares to rob the army food is not a problem with his brain, then he definitely has some ability. It is estimated that there is not much grain and grass escorted, and no one pays attention to them if they rob it.

Zhou Xiao touched his waist, but it was empty, there was no sword! Zhou Xiao had no choice but to grab it, and drove his horse forward to meet a galloping horse and slashing a bandit, Zhou Xiao leaned over to dodge, took it back, and kicked the belly of the horse running with his toes. The bandit's arm was broken, the man turned over on his back, and the big knife fell into Zhou Xiao's hand. With weapons in hand, dozens of thieves were cleaned up as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. The accompanying soldiers were all admired, but this was only a small beginning.

And when Zhou Xiao arrived at the military camp on the southern front at night, he couldn't help but stop the horse's hooves, and the entire grain team stopped. A bird swept over his head and rushed into the southern army camp that had already been spread out, and the dense torches swam among the neat tents, and a solemn aura came to his face. The lighted torches were like stars in the sky, and the camp that stretched away was connected to the sky, and the heavens and the earth reflected each other, Zhou Xiao was shocked by this military appearance.

After entering the barracks, Zhou Xiao separated from the grain team and went to the Shuai tent. I met the general of the Southern Army for the second time, and he was also the commander of the battle. Huo Feng's figure is not tall, but his sharp eyes and huge power are enough to give people great pressure.

The coach sat in the right position, and there were many generals and lieutenants on both sides. Huo Feng's first question to Zhou Xiao was: "Are you afraid of death?" This question is not easy to answer, whether the answer is afraid or not, it is untenable for him to be a recruit.

"Don't be afraid. After receiving Zhou Xiao's reply, Huo Feng continued to ask, "Why?" Zhou Xiaozheng said: "We are the soldiers, we are guarding the border passes, guarding the people, and Zhou Xiao will not retreat until he fights." Huo Feng looked at Zhou Xiao and nodded. "Tomorrow I will meet the enemy in front of the battle." "But most of the soldiers in the camp don't understand, if they are not afraid, they are not afraid, why don't they dare to be afraid, even if Zhou Xiao explains, they are still confused.

On the second day, the army lined up to meet the enemy, and a general from the Southern Barbarians came to the front of the battle, pointed his gun at Huo Feng and asked him to come out to meet the battle. Xu Dong couldn't stand this anger, Pegasus went to meet this person, and he was picked off the horse in a flash. The Southern Barbarian army was loud and arrogant.

Later, several generals who faced him were also defeated, was this person too powerful? That's not it, the main reason was that this person was not of high rank, and those generals were too lazy to take care of him, and the generals had people to deal with. At this time, Zhou Xiao asked for battle and got Huo Feng's consent.

Zhou Xiao was wearing light armor and drove his horse forward, at which station, this Southern Barbarian general was ashamed of himself. He sighed: "This man is so beautiful, he wants to capture this person alive." Zhou Xiao was on it, but he was bare-handed, but everyone didn't notice it.

Zhou Xiao sped up his horse speed and faced the enemy general. The old trick was repeated, and he took it back with his hand, kicked it with his feet, and the opponent turned over on his back, and the weapon was in hand. Lin Jun's morale was greatly boosted. In this battle, the Lin army was victorious. What the Nanban leaders didn't know was that their nightmare had just begun.

After the Southern Army blocked the invasion of the Nanban. The troops were divided into three routes, the left and right generals each led 100,000 troops, and Huo Feng led 200,000 troops and began a counteroffensive against the Nanban. In this battle, Zhou Xiao shined, and his combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of the two generals. The officer was promoted to the deputy commander of the personal guard battalion. In a pursuit, it was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, dividing the retreating barbarians in a hurry into two, destroying more than half of the enemy and capturing countless prisoners. However, in a battle, Xu Dong wanted to emulate Zhou Xiao and grabbed the knife empty-handed, but unfortunately died.

After a post-war break, Zhou Xiao sat among the soldiers, these simple men looked very excited, he was indeed a little tired. A young soldier boldly asked, "Deputy battalion commander, how long do you think this battle will last?" ”

Zhou Xiao was asked, and he didn't think about when this battle would last. But looking at the expectant eyes of this circle of people, he thought about it. "This battle will be fought for another ten years, and then the world will be peaceful. The soldiers were silent, but they didn't know that these ten years were the goal that Zhou Xiao had set for himself, and he would pacify the whole world in ten years, and what they didn't know was how much of a wave the entire world would set off in the next ten years.

The Lin army came to the South Gate Pass and recaptured the city, and all the lost territory of the Lin Kingdom was recovered. The Lin army was about to attack the city, the city gate was open, and it was not the barbarians who ran out, but a dozen big tigers, driven out of the city by the fire. The Lin army was frightened and fled in all directions, and the formation collapsed. More than a dozen big tigers with a foot in length are indeed not ordinary soldiers who can fight against them. Zhou Xiao rushed to the front of the battle, and the gun in his hand pulled out the afterimage, but it was only a stumble when it hit the tiger. The tiger that was beaten did not fight back, but retreated with a low roar, and the unanimous behavior of more than a dozen big tigers made people feel weird. Zhou Xiao immediately lifted the gun, as long as this big insect dared to pounce, the iron gun could nail its head to the ground.

But this scene broke the psychological bottom line of the barbarians, did not guard the south gate anymore, and abandoned the city. Later, there was an extra heavenly general in the mouth of the Southern Barbarians, who immediately took a gun to Nanguan, and the cannibal tiger did not dare to go forward. At this time, Zhou Xiao was only the deputy battalion commander.

After capturing Tianyun City, the army stopped its southward march. And in the King of Lindu City, Hu Liang reported his exploits to King Lin, who was in good shape. Lin Wang Lin Li laughed heartily and ordered to reward the southern army and promote the generals. Hu Liang said solemnly: "King, the war in the south is not conducive to the southern army defending the country. Now to repel the Nanban, when the army goes south, and raise the prestige of our country, it is also an opportunity for Huo Feng to make meritorious contributions. Lin Li was silent. Hu Liang did not give up and continued: "Now that the morale is flourishing, when the Southern Barbarians surrender, the king will be the great cause of opening up the territory and expanding the territory." ”

A command, the army went south. Huo Feng left 200,000 people to defend the city and led the rest of the centaurs to pursue the Southern Barbarian deserters. Zhou Xiao is in the center of the military and has a heavy feeling. The southern army had been fighting for more than three months, and the soldiers were tired, and it was too risky to march into the southern barbarians at this time. But there was no way, and the army entered what they called the barbarian land.
