Chapter 55

Before the full sun appeared from behind the hills in the distance, a few red wolf smoke curled up, and the vanguard cavalry of the Imperial Capital Guards galloped on the ground like an ant colony, and the red armor formed a red wave, launching an all-out attack in the direction of the enemy's position. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The other party is also a member of the Imperial Capital Guards, but they are all wearing white armor, and the leading general is none other than Zhang Qixing, one of the three major generals of the Wisteria Windmill Country.

A sharp unsheath sounded, and the silver saber was raised high above Zhang Qixing's head, and the gray-maned white horse under his crotch walked back and forth along the neatly arranged line of soldiers, shouting: "Warriors, raise the blades in your hands!" We face the battlefield and have our backs to our homeland, and peace can only be achieved by defeating the enemy in front of us. Don't panic! Don't be afraid! Charge with me! With that, he took the lead and was the first to rush towards the enemy army that was surging like a tide.

Red and white merge on the dirt slopes of the hilly terrain, and galloping horses knock people into the air like weeds. The blades of the sword clashed with the spear, and the sparks that collided seemed to burn the ground like angry flames. The arm was cut off by a sharp sword, the throat was pierced by a spear, and the corpse that had just fallen had not yet cooled down, and a new life was replenished with blood. What can embody human savagery is war.

Under the leadership of Zhang Qixing, the White Armor Army was like a bamboo, and just his people were there, and the enemy army had lost their souls. Like a white eagle soaring with its wings, it uses its sharp beak to tear a straight path through the tide-like crowd.

The white horse leaped past the enemy's first line of defense, and before the enemy's vanguard general could raise his sword, Zhang Qixing fell with his sword in his hand in the air. The general's head landed almost at the same time as the white horse's hooves, but the horse did not stop and went straight to the enemy's second line of defense.

A strong light lit up from the rear of the enemy formation, and dozens of pillars of light as thick as a human waist immediately pierced through the rear camp of the White Armor Army. This is a thermal beam cannon made from energy seed soul stones, which needs to consume a large amount of soul stones to generate energy, and then fire a strong beam of light from the high-temperature resistant barrel that is strong enough to melt metal.

"Despicable fellow!" Zhang Qixing turned his horse's head and scolded angrily, looking at the dozens of pits with white smoke left on the dirt slope of his own camp, and the blood in his body heated up rapidly.

Military weapons that can use soul stones to provide energy for combat prove that the enemy army has strong financial support behind them. You must know that a thermal beam cannon like this will cost 100,000 gold soul stones to produce, and with the current financial situation in China, it is impossible for even the regular army to have such extravagant weapons and equipment.

The thermal beam cannon bombarded indiscriminately all the time, and the white armor army, which had originally had the advantage, suffered more than half of the casualties in an instant. The Red Armor Army, which had begun to disperse, saw the hope of victory again, and turned back like wolves. I don't know who is shouting: "Capture the white eagle alive!" Bounty of 50,000 soul stones! ”

Zhang Qixing naturally smelled the unfavorable changes in the battle situation, he held the reins in one hand, raised the silver sword in the other, and shouted at his own white army: "The whole army retreats!" ”

The Red Armor pursued them much faster than they charged, and the cavalry that came from behind raised their crossbows on their horses, and some even threw out the chains of the meteor hammers they used to stumble. None of the backward soldiers of the White Armor Army were spared, and those who were wounded by arrows in the legs would also be beheaded by the Red Armor Army who caught up, and a tragic situation of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood suddenly appeared on the dirt slope.

Before the white horse under the constellation of Zhang Qi rushed to the top of the slope of his position, another group of red-armored troops rushed down from the top of the slope like a ghost, everyone wearing heavy armor that could not be injured by swords, the soldiers in the front row were holding iron shields, and the back were holding guns and strafing.

"There are ambushes! We're caught in the middle ......," exclaimed one of the whitearmies, but before he could finish speaking, he was hit in the center of the eyebrow by an enemy bullet.

Zhang Qixing led the remaining team of less than 100 people to launch a final charge against the enemy, the silver sword in his hand did not stop for a moment, and the white horse carried him over the human wall of shields as if he had wings, and all the enemy soldiers in front of him were in a different place.

After a bang, Zhang Qixing on the white horse fell in response. This scene was so sudden that no one in the White Armor Army who was fighting bravely next to him reacted.

"Zhang Qixing! You're defeated. This will be your last battle and the grave where the body of the White Eagle is buried. "A black horse came slowly from the dirt slope, and it was Wu Shou, another general of the Wisteria Windmill Country, who was riding on it and talking.

Zhang Qixing, who was shot in the back, looked up at Wu Shou, his gaze seemed to be able to ignite the other party, and he responded: "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" ”

Wu Shou's pupils were as cold as ice, "The winner is the king, and the loser is Kou." History will see everything, and we will completely change the country until it is exactly what we want it to be. And you! It will only be forgotten and abandoned forever. ”

"Who are we referring to? How many people are behind you? Zhang Qixing's gaze swept over the ground around him, and the silver saber he was using had just fallen four or five meters away.

"Even if you are a dying person, I will not tell you the truth Zhang Qixing. You will go to hell with regrets forever! ”

Zhang Qixing stood up abruptly at this time, staggered a few steps and picked up the silver saber on the ground, but before he could make a final struggle, Wu Shou raised his hand and shot him in the back of the head.

The warm sunlight shone on the rough tabletop, the brewed tea leaves floated on the water, the white mist seemed to be hot and slowly rising, and the fragrance of tea silently penetrated into the nostrils.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Ji Zailu walked in, "There's news!" General Zhang Qixing was completely annihilated by the Red Armor Army led by General Wu Shou, and was also said to be a rebellious party attempting to rebel. Lord Fan Juefeng was also poisoned to death in the imperial city, and now the situation in the military is not optimistic. ”

"Wu Shou, this guy, actually launched a military mutiny at this time." Fu Lang's fist slammed on the table, and the water in the teacup immediately overflowed.

Feng Jihai said: "There will be more and more such things, and the political and business circles will be seriously affected. It seems that the crisis is coming sooner than I expected, and I can't stay any longer, so I'll head to the imperial capital tomorrow. ”

Ji Zailu said again: "There is also news from the comrades in the organization that General Li Heibao is recruiting a large number of troops in the towns around the imperial capital, and it seems that he will also start a war in the short term. ”

"It's not surprising that General Li is in charge of the guard of the imperial capital all the year round, and he is preventing Wu Shou from taking advantage of the chaos to capture the imperial capital, otherwise he would not have started the operation so late."

"You mean that we are going to unite with General Li to fight against Wu Shou's forces?"

"No, Wu Shou only nominally controls a part of the army, and there must be support from the political and business circles behind him. In terms of troop deployment and tactical use, he is not Zhang Qixing's opponent at all. He was able to win this time, and I think that either there are masters behind his back, or he uses high-level war weapons with soul stone energy. Of course, it could be both, so his victory was inevitable. I'm thinking that there might be someone behind Wu Shou who is supporting. ”

"Is it Miao Xizheng? Or Du Tao? Both of these men seem to be very suspicious. ”

"Although Miao Xizheng and Du Tao have power in political circles, neither of them has the huge financial resources to support the military. In my opinion, in the entire empire, there are only two big business families who can have such strength. ”

As soon as Feng Jihai said this, everyone in the room immediately fell into a frozen silence.

The night breeze is slightly cool, blowing on the shoulders.

Mei Xintong rolled up the hem of her robe and squatted by the Red Carp River, the slowly flowing river water was like a song hummed by her mother, extending to the far side.

She was secretly crying, and she was crying very sadly. The strangeness of leaving the imperial capital, the helplessness of separating from his father, the danger of the road, and the fear of dying at any time have all become invisible demons wreaking havoc in his thoughts. She didn't know how long she could hold on, maybe she couldn't take it anymore, or if she had completely broken down from the start, and she might just be a walking dead who was still alive. The nights here are so cold; The food here is so stiff; The environment here is so dirty; Everything here was unbearable for her. But so what? She couldn't even be sure if she would be able to survive as a princess in the future, let alone want the glorious and elegant treatment of a palace.

A thin pebble flew quickly, causing a series of ripples on the surface of the river, followed by a second and third.

Mei Xintong slowly raised her crying red eyes, she couldn't see how far the stone flew in the dark night, but she could clearly hear the echo of the splash.

"When I was in my hometown, I rarely had the opportunity to go to the water's edge, so I was excited every time I went to the river. We often play the game of water rafting, and whoever hits the farthest can be the king of children. ”

Naturally, it was the Eastern Pegasus who spoke, and he walked to the shallows by the river and stood still, still clutching a handful of stones in his hand, his eyes as dull as dark clouds of haze.

The mood of the two people is the same, and there is naturally a feeling of sympathy. Mei Xintong stood up and asked, "Child King?" Is it the king among the children? ”

"Well, it's not just the adult world where there are kings, but also the children."

"Did you ever be the child king that day?"

"It always has been."

"Hehe......" Mei Xintong covered her lips with red eyes and chuckled, her fair face was even more charming in the night breeze.

Dongfang Tianma looked at her side face, and his heart was a little relaxed. Mei Xintong used the hat on the white robe to cover her head and face before, but at this time, there was no such cover-up, which showed her alluring appearance.

Speaking from the heart, Mei Xintong is the most beautiful girl Dongfang Tianma has ever seen. Nie Ru's purity and Hui Paper Kite's charm cannot be compared to her elegant and weak demeanor. Such a woman is like a white swan, under the beautiful appearance, at the same time has a pure and noble heart, which cannot tolerate the slightest erosion of filth.

"Hoohoo! I'm the strongest fishing hunter. Yin Ao shouted at an inopportune time, and he ran over with an old harpoon in his hand, took off his shirt and trousers, and rushed barefoot into the red carp river wearing only a pair of briefs, imitating the fisherman's game of fishing.

The atmosphere changed instantly, and Dongfang Tianma simply took off his clothes and pants and jumped into the icy river. Even though it was autumn and winter, he and Yin Ao didn't care, but had a lot of fun. They poured water on each other, letting the river soak their heads and faces, even if they were shivering with cold. Although Mei Xintong on the shore did not dare to go into the water, she was also amused by their appearance.

Everyone is still a child, and there is a yearning for the beauty of the world, troubles and sorrows are only temporary, and the good times are in the near future.
