The light snow that fell last night did not stop until the middle of the day, but the momentum became more violent. In this piece of wind and snow, Huo Wuxian held a spear in his hand and waved it on the snow slope, and his second brother Huo Yunqi sat on the snow-covered cobblestone on the side.

A shot stabbed into the wind, but unnaturally followed the wind and deviated from the original direction. Huo Wuxian complained: "Why does my father have to let me practice marksmanship, I'm not good at doing these things in the first place." ”

Huo Yunqi held the wine bag made of animal skin, and spit out hot breath in his mouth: "You just bear with it, Dad won't let you fall into danger, he has never forced our three brothers to do anything, right?" If it weren't for what you did this time, how could you have suffered all this. ”

Huo Wuxian turned around, "It's you, second brother, who has become a waste now, how can you be good in the future?" ”

Huo Yunqi poured a sip of spicy wine and replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Your sister-in-law is gone, and I have thought about it, and I will find a quiet place to live alone in the future. It's also time to develop some interests beyond marksmanship. ”

"It's not like you at all."

"Perhaps. After your sister-in-law died, I also thought about it a lot and looked down on it a lot. Suddenly, I found that I didn't seem to have any skills other than our family's marksmanship. Now I envy my eldest brother, he can participate in political affairs while having martial arts, and he is also proficient in a lot of knowledge that takes time and effort to master, that is a wonderful life. ”

Huo Wuxian had never seen his second brother look so calm, just like a lonely old man who was powerless, helpless to accept the consequences of time. For the first time in his life, he began to think about life, asking himself in the depths of his heart, "What can I do?" What is the value of my life? ”

Father, eldest brother, second brother, all three of them have experienced the glory of their lives, but they are also disturbed by all kinds of trivial things around them and cannot be free. Huo Wuxian didn't want to live like them, let alone become a general who commanded thousands of troops. He was tired of the pride of superiority, he couldn't let go of the gentleness of women, he didn't care about the luxury of money, and he always wanted to live freely beyond the status quo. Maybe this seems to others to be a little innocent and moaning, but this is what he really thinks in his heart, and of course he doesn't care what others think, because he has always been like this.

Xia Yan, a sparsely populated place. There are endless acres of land and carefree villagers, who know how to live in harmony with nature, and live an ordinary and comfortable life.

Xia Qian City is the largest city in Xia Yan, and it is also the most densely populated area. As a city that pays great attention to agriculture and animal husbandry, there are only a pitiful more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in the city, and even the newly rising Hewei army is dozens of times that of it. Fortunately, there is enough food and grass in the city, so you only need to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements, and you don't need to have a head-on conflict with the Hewei army.

The snowflakes brought by the north wind were blowing one after another, and Zhao Baicheng, the leader of the defenders of Xia Qian City, looked at the position of the Hewei army under the city, and his face was full of solemnity. He sent a signal to the imperial capital for help a month ago, but now he can't even see half of the imperial army. The soldiers in charge of guarding the city were on guard day and night, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and if they continued to stalemate like this, Xia Qian City would sooner or later fall into the hands of Hewei.

He knew what it meant to fall a city, and he trusted that his men would be captured and slaughtered. Residents who had lived in peace were robbed of all their possessions, women were ravaged and humiliated, and the helpless cries of children were pervasive. At that time, the flames will burn the entire city, and a miserable scene like hell will descend on the earth.

Just as Zhao Baicheng was in deep thought, a soldier rushed to the front and reported to him breathlessly: "Zhao Tou, reinforcements!" It's reinforcements from the imperial capital! ”

"What?! Where is it? Zhao Baicheng felt that a big stone in his heart had finally landed, and the worries and distresses he had been suffering from had finally come to fruition.

The two hurried to the lookout at the foot of the city wall, and through the vast wind and snow, they saw Huo Yiben's black cavalry regiment attacking from behind the Hewei army array.

"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements! ”

"Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

"It's finally here! The Imperial Capital Army, and General Huo's Black Cavalry Army. Now we are saved. ”

The soldiers on the city wall all discovered Huo Yiben's army, and there was immediately a sound of cheering, and even the Hewei army under the city wall was affected, making people panic.

Huo Yiben commanded the heavy cavalry to open the way first, frantically attacking the square array of crossbowmen and artillerymen gathered in the rear of the enemy army, and at the same time drove the horses parallel with Huo Wuxian.

"Listen, in this battle you have to charge and kill at least one enemy soldier. I will always keep an eye on your actions and cannot back down! Don't be afraid! If you don't finish the battle yet, you'll be assigned to the infantry team that leads the charge next time. ”

Huo Yiben no longer talks to his son as a father, but exerts pressure in the name of a battlefield general. As a son, Huo Wuxian had no room for discussion, so he could only obediently carry out the order. But it is so easy to charge into battle, even the bravest warriors are afraid of death, or only those who put life and death aside can become true warriors and survive.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the Imperial Capital Army, led by Huo Yiben, fought valiantly and successfully eliminated most of the enemy's crossbowmen and gunners. The Crane Wei Army is in Crane Weixing and Crane Wei? Under the leadership of the two generals, a fierce counterattack was launched against the imperial capital army.

Zhao Baicheng did not dare to act rashly, the defenders of Xia Qian City were only 1,000, and if he rashly went out of the city to assist the Imperial Capital Army, he was likely to be attacked into the city by the Hewei army. But his heart was extremely worried, and he was always observing the changes of the two armies on the battlefield.

Huo Yiben rushed straight to the center of the formation under the cover of the heavy cavalry, and He Weixing made a broad-bladed sword to ride a horse to kill, and the two fought a lot, He Weixing was invincible, and there was Crane Wei on the side? Hold a silver glittering three-pointed fork to drive the horse and flank it. The three of them fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Huo Yiben suddenly activated the mechanism of the Nine Heavens Cloud Python Gun, causing the claw hook at the end of the gun to fly away from the body of the gun, piercing Hewei with one blow? 's armor went straight into his waist and abdomen, and at the same time, he turned around and used the tip of the spear to hold the big sword that He Weixing slashed at diagonally, and once again let the ninth-foot spear body pop out, instantly piercing the opponent's throat. Seeing that the two leaders were dead, the miscellaneous soldiers of the Hewei army had no intention of fighting again, and scattered and fled.

Huo Yi was looking for his son's figure inside, but found that Huo Wuxian was riding a Thunder Shadow Flying Dragon Horse chasing a deserter with a wounded leg, and immediately drove the horse away.

Huo Wuxian had been hiding behind the heavy cavalry in the previous melee, and his greedy and fearful character was fully exposed at this moment. The horse under his crotch seemed to understand his thoughts, and did not gallop as freely as he did when he first went into battle. But Huo Wuxian still wants to complete the task assigned by his father in his heart, and he also has a competitive spirit that he doesn't want to be looked down upon, hoping to really slash an enemy to prove his strength. Therefore, when he saw the injured deserter who was at a loss, he immediately pounced like a cat that saw a mouse.

A little closer, a little closer......

Huo Wuxian thought in his heart about how he wanted to kill the other party. Was it a shot that pierced his body from the back? Or slam the gun into his head as a club? He found that he had a lot of ideas, but when it was time to act, everything seemed so weak.

This is murder! It's killing people on the battlefield! It is not a brawl that has been experienced before, but a cruel act that will shed blood and completely make a life disappear from this world.

After all, this shot still failed to be shot, Huo Wuxian looked at the person who was desperately running forward in order to survive, and there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes. He stopped his horse and watched silently, the barrel of his gun hanging down involuntarily.

A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from the side, and before Huo Wuxian could turn his head to look, his body had been severely whipped by the Nine Heavens Cloud Python Spear that followed, and the whole person immediately fell off the Thunder Shadow Flying Dragon Horse.

Huo Yiben stared at his son coldly, and when he saw him stand up again, he said: "On the battlefield, only cowards will kill people who are afraid of death as themselves, and brave people will only choose people who are braver than themselves as opponents." You are not qualified! Begin to form the infantry line tomorrow and rush to the front line in the next battle. ”

The cold wind like a knife in his ears was still raging, and the snow fell on his body at will like a spirit laughing at himself. Huo Wujian's hands and feet were numb from the cold, but his heart was hot.

The battle in front of Xia Qian City was not completely over, and the Imperial Capital Army was chasing the defeated Hewei army in an attempt to annihilate them all. The battlefield in the snowy sky bloomed with a different kind of blood, and a black imperial car was parked on a mountain in the distance, and a group of people were silently watching this tragic battle from afar.

The man standing at the front, wearing a black coat made of wolf fur and short blond hair, was holding a telescope to follow the situation on the battlefield. There were five people behind him, and three of them were familiar faces, it was Qi Huanli, Chen Huifeng, and Saben who had attacked Huo Yunqi before. The other two faces were a man and a woman, the man wearing a navy blue jacket, a white fox scarf around his neck, and a modified sniper rifle on his shoulder. The woman wore pigtails, was about twenty years old, her fair skin was as white as snow, and she wore red leather pants on her slender legs and a brown bearskin jacket.

This group of people was a soul warrior hired by the Crane King with a lot of money, and most of them were born in the Evil Fortress. In fact, they have nothing to do with each other, they are just forcibly pulled together for money, and they are working together to find ways to destroy the threat that the Imperial Capital Army may pose to the Hewei Army.

"Do you see clearly?" The man with a sniper rifle took two steps forward to the blonde man. His real name is Xiao Please, and although it is a very common name, if anyone knows about his other title, they will immediately be stunned. Even among these six people, no one knows his other identity.

"It's not just clear, it's transparent." The blonde man's name is Simon Qingfeng, and he is the leader of this operation. Although they are only reluctantly grouped together for the common good, the rules still need to be followed, and no one wants to mess things up and get the share they have earned for their hard work.

The only woman in the team is named Lu Yuyou, her appearance is pure and beautiful, but her voice is low and hoarse, and she said to Ximen Qingfeng: "Even if our mission is completed after killing Huo Yiben, what are you waiting for?" ”

Ximen Qingfeng bent the corners of his mouth but smiled toothlessly: "The most valuable prey, of course, must be slaughtered at the most valuable time." The Hewei army has been defeated, and there is no need to kill Huo Yiben now, so he can only wait until the next battle. ”

Xiao Yu on the side took off the sniper rifle on his shoulder at this time and aimed it in the direction of the battlefield. Qi Huanli and the others' faces changed, but no one said anything to stop him, and Saben even laughed a little excitedly.

The Bright Metallic Soul Pattern ability was activated instantly, and Xiao Yu's eyes glowed like a light bulb lit up with golden light, and then he pulled the trigger, and the trajectory pierced through the snowstorm and shot straight into the center of the battlefield.

The target of Xiao Yu's shot was not Huo Yiben, but the black war horse under Huo Yiben's crotch. After a shot, the black horse's head was pierced, and Huo Yiben also fell off the horse defenselessly.

Xiao took his eyes off the scope before he spoke, "I agree with Ximen Qingfeng's decision. ”
