Just as the battle on the Yangtze River was at its most intense, a huge fleet of fifty cargo ships came up on the water of the Yangtze River outside Baling City. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the only fleet in the past seven or eight days, and the defenders of Baling City are very strange to see.

Since Li Qin's westward advance, there have been fewer and fewer merchant ships going east and west, and these days they have been completely cut off.

Li Qin wanted to destroy the southern heroes in one battle, and everyone understood. In the eyes of most businessmen, although Li Qin is very strong, the southern heroes, such as Xiao Miao, Lin Shihong and others, are not too weak, and there should be a dragon and a tiger on both sides.

Under these circumstances, there is a certain expectation of the continuation of the war. For the sake of their own lives, the vast majority of businessmen will not risk their business.

Of course, businessmen are profit-seeking creatures, and it is not impossible for them to take risks regardless of anything when they have enough profits.

For example, the fleet that is appearing right now......

The defenders of Baling City instinctively regarded it as a first-class person who wanted money rather than life.

Looking at the fleet that was gradually approaching the dock, Shen Liusheng, the guard of Baling City, who was born with a roe head and rat eyes, nodded lightly, showing a little greed on his face: "You still dare to come west at this time...... These people are really bold, and they think that the oil and water are also very rich, and they seem to be able to share a bowl of soup for us. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to act.

However, before he could take a few steps, a hand grabbed him tightly from behind: "You'd better not act rashly, and see what kind of flag is on the other team." That was the banner of the Song family. If you don't want to provoke the Heavenly Sword Song Que for the lord, just stand guard here honestly. ”

"What!?" Shen Liusheng turned around angrily and turned his head. He was about to shout out and ask the comer why he was disturbing his interest, but before he could say anything, he saw the appearance of the comer, and immediately closed his mouth.

I saw that the person who came was about thirty years old, with sword eyebrows, hairless lips, beard under the chin, well-proportioned and tough, although he was only wearing a simple armor, but he was majestic and full of momentum in his gestures--it was Zhang Xiu, the marshal of the Left Route Army under the command of Liang Gongxiao who stayed behind in Baling City.

Shen Liusheng is the guard, and Zhang Xiu is his immediate boss. Now that he opened his mouth, where did Shen Liusheng dare to say anything, he could only leave in disgrace at the moment.

Ignoring Shen Liusheng's departure, Zhang Xiu stood near the West City Gate and saw that there were people in white who were constantly in these cargo ships under the banner of the Song family, carrying boxes of goods and getting off the ship, but he frowned slightly: "Isn't everything normal?" Why do I feel palpitations? ”

Zhang Xiu was puzzled, if he could, of course he would not desperately follow the suspicions in his heart and send troops to search the cargo ship. But not at the moment, because this fleet is under the banner of the Song family, and Zhang Xiu does not dare to provoke Song Que, the heavenly sword of Megatron Tiannan. Not to mention Zhang Xiu, even his lord Xiao Mian didn't dare to offend.

If you are no longer in the south, you don't know how terrible Song Que is.

Facing the flag flying high, Zhang Xiu could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and close his mouth tightly.

In his silence, the people of the Song family acted as usual, disembarking from the boat and entering the port, going into the city to play, and there was nothing unusual at all.

Zhang Xiu looked at it a few times seriously, but he really couldn't see any difference from it, so he could only forget it like this.

So, time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the lights to come on.

Zhang Xiu intends to end the day's inspection.

However, what he didn't know was that not long after he turned around, a group of people poured down from the Song family's cargo ship, taking advantage of the trend of the wharf hired workers to return to the city, Shi Shiran mixed into Baling City. They quickly dispersed around the city gates, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After that, it was night. The entire Baling City gradually settled down, and the group of people at the east gate of Baling City began their own actions.

With extremely light steps, dressed in dark blue night clothes, they carried sharp steel knives to the top of the city. They followed the shadow of the city's supplies and hid their figures. They crept close to the defenders at the top of the city, and then neatly waved their steel knives and finished the names of those men.

Soon, in a surprise raid, hundreds of defenders near the east gate were cleared by them.

Next, they ran to the winch at the gate, quickly turned the winch mechanism, and pushed open the closed gate.

Under this surprise attack, the city gate was quickly opened. The men and horses outside the city quickly poured into the city, quickly divided into several columns and rushed to their respective goals.

After a while, the soldiers, who didn't know where, discovered that the situation was wrong, and immediately shouted loudly: "Enemy...... Enemy attack! ”

When the shouts sounded, the whole city was shocked, and the people who raided Baling County were not hiding their movements, and they immediately became fanfare.

"Baling City has fallen, and the Red Army has entered the city!" A wave of shouts rose in Baling City.

Zhang Xiu, who had just fallen asleep, jumped up from the couch in shock at such a shout, and ran to the lobby of the county government very nervously. At this time, he had already seen a red fire lit up in Baling City.

"Where is it burning again?" Zhang Xiu was surprised, and asked like a cannon, "Is the enemy setting fire?" ”

"No...... Those are the torches of the enemy! Shen Liusheng, who came in embarrassment, panicked and reported to Zhang Xiu.

"What?" Zhang Xiu's eyes widened: "Is it really the Red Army entering the city?" How many troops do they have? Seeing that the sky over the entire city was lit red, they were not afraid of tens of thousands of people. ”

"I'm afraid there are 100,000!" Shen Liusheng looked a little incoherent: "General, let's run!" The enemy has already entered the city, and we only have 20,000 defenders, so we are no match for them. Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late. ”

"Let's go? The lord entrusts the safety of Baling City in my hands. It's a big sin because of my negligence to cause the current situation. If I abandon the city and flee again, do you think I am worthy of my lord? Zhang Xiu shook her head gently.

He called out to his family and took out his drake.

"Even if I want to die, mine will die in battle with the enemy." Zhang Xiu said, wearing a helmet and armor, carrying his own weapons and leading a hundred and ten personal soldiers out of the gate of the county government.

"Alas...... Why are you so brainless? Shen Liusheng couldn't. It was impossible for him to continue to insist on retreating, so he could only follow behind Zhang Xiu in frustration and meet the enemy with Zhang Xiu.

Soon after they stepped out of the gate, they saw a young man leading a dozen elite soldiers towards them. Zhang Xiu looked at the respectful appearance of the soldiers behind him, and decided in his heart that that person was the middle and high-level of Li Qinjun, and suddenly became excited: "Yueyang Zhang Xiu is here, and he will die!" Zhang Xiu roared angrily, raised the long knife in his hand and rushed towards the young man with vigorous steps.

"Zhang Xiu? You look like you're the defender here! When the young man heard this, the essence in his eyes flashed, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Since you have jumped in front of me yourself, then I have to reluctantly accept it." ”

As he spoke, the young man snatched a long sword from the soldier beside him, and waved it to meet Zhang Xiu.

Suddenly, the two approached.

As soon as the long knife in Zhang Xiu's hand was raised, he heard Li Qin laugh, and the long sword in his hand danced, killing him at a faster and faster speed.

For a while, the sound of the sword roared, and the dense sword light covered the city with green clouds. There is not much killing in it, but it gives people an ethereal and ethereal feeling, giving people a strange feeling.

Zhang Xiu only felt that the blue light in front of him was boundless, like falling clouds, and there was no other party at all, and the long knife in his hand didn't know where to slash, and he was confused.

He couldn't do it at the moment, so he had to burst into a shout, drumming up the bloody aura on his body, swinging the blade in his hand hard, and using the trick of fighting in all directions at night, splitting out endless cold rays, surrounding him, no matter what the other party did, he danced the sword in his hand to the wind and rain.

"Hey, you're still a little bit capable! But at this level, it still can't stop me! Li Qin sneered, the true qi in his body was agitated, the long sword in his hand shook, and the sword light became more and more empty. The Dao sword shadow shot like lightning, and cut into it in the light of the sword that Zhang Xiu wielded vigorously.

Immediately, I heard a few muffled sounds, and saw the shadow of the knife wielded by Zhang Xiu disappear, and the whole person staggered back.

"You...... Who are you? Zhang Xiu asked in surprise.

He considered himself to be a good master in the Baling Gang. It's just that such a master is still not the enemy of this young man, and it is no wonder that he is so surprised by such an incredible result in front of him.

"Me?" The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was an ethereal smell on his not very handsome face. He walked forward elegantly and calmly, and the words in his mouth were said plainly, but there was a deafening feeling in Zhang Xiu's ears: "My name is Li Qin, the word Yuanhua." You can also call me Wu Guogong. ”

"What? Are you Li Qin? Zhang Xiu was taken aback and wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, he only felt a chill in his vest, and a sharp pain followed. He jerked his head down, just in time to see a shiny blade peeking through his chest.

"Shen Liusheng, you thief ......" Severe pain surged into Zhang Xiu's heart like a tidal wave, and his strength disappeared, and finally before he could finish his sentence, he was already spread to the ground.

Li Qin watched all this happen, and frowned slightly: "Why did you kill him?" ”

Li Qin coldly questioned Shen Liusheng, who stabbed Zhang Xiu in the back.

"Because I still want to live!" Shen Liusheng, who was a thief, humbled down, not resentful of his selfishness at all.

"You're such a selfish villain." Li Qin looked at the thin Shen Liusheng, with a faint disgust on his face.

"The lord said that I am a villain, then I am a villain." Shen Liusheng smiled, Nian did not have any embarrassment of being scolded, but beat the snake and called Li Qin as the lord on the stick.

As a villain, he changed very quickly.

Zhang Xiu died like this.

With his death, the countdown to the fall of Baling City has begun.
