A few days ago outside the city of Qingfeng

After Feng Mo got the piece of paper from Yuan Li's hand, he returned to the place where Tang Yuxiao was stationed. The two sorted out the remaining soldiers and horses, and directly changed the route, when Yuan Li's army and Qingyang City's soldiers and horses were fighting the most fiercely, Feng Mo and Tang Yuxiao took the soldiers and horses around to the back of Qingyang City, and directly faced the cavalry army in the southwest.

At that time, after Feng Mo had traveled about thirty miles, Shi Tianhu knew their movements. Shi Tianhu immediately sent someone to inform Yang Tianzong, but after Yang Tianzong got the news, he thought that a large number of soldiers and horses did not come around, and they should be planning to besiege Qingyang City and not give Yang Tianzong a chance to send troops to reinforce Shi Tianhu.

But it was Yang Tianzong's wrong judgment that directly led to the fact that when Feng Mo led his troops to appear in front of Yang Tianzong's troops, the cavalry troops that had made the southwest proud were not even prepared, like a mass of scattered sand. It was such a battle that caused the famous Southwest Cavalry to be useless, and after Feng Mo led the army to kill, the Southwest Cavalry had to retreat again and again, until it finally retreated to Qingfeng City.

That night, Feng Mo and Tang Yuxiao sat in front of the tent: "Yuan Li's plan has really worked out step by step." ”

"Yes, this kid has completely figured out what the other party is thinking, and they have completely fallen into our trap. Originally, I thought that the Southwest Cavalry was a big trouble, but now that I look at it, it is not a difficult thing at all. ”

"However, what he wrote told us to withdraw our troops and join them immediately after forcing the enemy army back to Qingfeng City, why is this? If we don't retreat, we can avoid them from merging into one, but if we withdraw our troops, our hard-won advantage may be gone." ”

"To be honest, I don't really understand. Now it seems that it is our best way to fight so that Yang Tianzong's troops have not been able to get respite, but now, if the army is withdrawn, Yang Tianzong will reorganize the army, but since we are Yuan Li's generals, we should listen to him. Don't doubt it, early tomorrow morning, lead the army to retreat. ”

Inside Qingyang City

"General, I heard the news from the rear that the army sent by Yang Yu caused our cavalry to suffer a big defeat, and now General Yang Tianzong led the rest of the cavalry to retreat to Qingfeng City, and I want to ask the general for your support. ”

"Support support, he is surrounded, is Lao Tzu living here in peace? How many years, we have not had the ten swords of the imperial capital appear in the southwest, and now as soon as they appear, there are three. There was also news from the Liang State, and 30,000 soldiers and horses were also sent to support. The main thing is not the soldiers and horses, their crossbow arrows, and the successors of the ten swords of the imperial capital, are too incredible. ”

"Yes, the Dust Breaking Sword Master doesn't look half as old as General Hua Ye, but it took a few sticks of incense to break General Hua Ye's hardware technique that has not been broken in thirty years, as well as their crossbow arrows, which shoot farther than us. And his crossbow bolt is bursting, and we can't tell the trajectory it will fly after it bursts in mid-air. ”

"Well, that's it. Tell Yang Tianzong about our situation, and let him ask for more blessings. ”

Li Ziheng left the tent, and Hua Tianhu stood alone in the corner and sighed. The imperial court conquered the southwest, he Shi Tianhu had not seen it, and there were probably dozens of Yang Yu generals who died in his hands, but since the previous generation of Dust-Breaking Sword masters died here thirty years ago, no inheritor of the Ten Swords of the Imperial Capital will come here. And before that, at most once, a total of four imperial capitals and ten swords had been here, and that time, they were also trapped outside Qingyang City.

But they did not withdraw after the rout, but there was a rebellion in the north of the imperial capital at that time, and the court saw that the stalemate between the two parties was not a solution, so they retreated first. Since then, the imperial court has rarely sent the Ten Swords of the Imperial Capital here, and in recent decades, in addition to the two swords of the Ten Swords of the Imperial Capital as a inheritance, other swords have gradually scattered in the world, and what has appeared is that the generals of the imperial court are rarely the inheritors of the Ten Swords of the Imperial Capital.

Hua Ye once discussed with Yang Tianzong and himself, and proposed that everyone take the opportunity to attack and expand the territory of the southwest, the reason is that in Hua Ye's opinion, the imperial capital has lost its dependence, and now it is just some wine bags and rice bags. And in the end, because of Yang Tianzong's resolute opposition, the matter was over.

Now, Shi Tianhu recalled the original incident, and remembered that when Yang Tianzong heard Hua Ye's proposal, he refused so resolutely, Shi Tianhu suddenly began to suspect that Yang Tianzong was too strange in that matter, in Shi Tianhu's memory, Yang Tianzong has always been a person who longs for war, but that time, Yang Tianzong refused very resolutely, he didn't say a reason at that time, just resolutely refused.

"Ziheng, you come. Shi Tianhu shouted softly outside the tent, signaling Li Ziheng, who was staying outside, to come out: "I have something to discuss with you, remember, don't spread it, when the time comes, you will do it......"

After instructing Ziheng, Shi Tianhu rubbed his somewhat sore forehead, although now they are temporarily in Qingyang City, and they will not be threatened for a while, but the inheritors of the ten swords of the imperial capital have always been dragons and phoenixes among the people, and the last time the four imperial capital ten swords, but ten days broke through their defenses, and the soldiers came to Qingyang City. Although they didn't penetrate the walls of Qingyang City, it was only because the emperor didn't give them enough time.

Now, the current Yang Yu army only took three days to meet and was under Qingyang City, and now, except for the southwest, all the Yang Yu continent is subordinate to Tang Wuchen, and they now have time.

"General, General Yang Tianzong has new news that all the Yang Yu soldiers besieging Qingfeng City have all retreated. General Yang Tianzong asked you, do you need their support?"

"Zigang, tell them no. It is impossible for this Yang Tianzong to send troops. We can only rely on this high city wall to not die, as soon as he Yang Tianzong comes out with the cavalry, this army of Yang Yu can directly crush him. We all understand this, he came to ask, he deliberately disgusted me. ”

"General, what does he mean by this? Don't you understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?"

"Zigang, times have changed. However, don't think about it so much yet, take the soldiers to do a good job of defending the city, and if there is any disturbance on the other side, come back and report to me immediately. ”

"Understood, General. Zi Gang withdrew, Shi Tianhu looked at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly, a black shadow seemed to appear in front of him. Shi Tianhu frowned, and just wanted to make a posture to resist, but the cold blade had already touched his neck, and the death that he hadn't felt for decades reappeared in his heart, Shi Tianhu tried to adjust his breath: "I don't know which friend I provoked, can you give me an understanding before I die, let me know your face." ”

"Haha, General Shi, you and I have no grievances, I just have one thing to ask General Shi for help. ”

"Is that the attitude you have when you ask someone for help?"

"Just let General Shi see my means. The man in black took his blade away from Shi Tianhu's neck, uncovered his black hat, and a delicate face appeared in front of Shi Tianhu: "General Shi, you must be very curious about my identity. But I can only tell you one person, and I hope you keep it a secret for me and don't tell the second person. Otherwise, I may not be able to guarantee the life of the general. ”

"You're threatening me?"

"It's nothing more than to live, please understand General Shi. ”

Shi Tianhu snorted coldly, didn't say much, and the man in black was not annoyed, he sighed with a smile: "I am the Heavenly Pivot in the Seven Stars of the Divine Machine. I need General Shi to open the city to face the battle, and I only need to buy me time for the three pillars of incense, and I can make the commander of the opposing army disappear. Since it's a cooperation, I have to show my sincerity first. Our Shenji accepted a golden mission, which is to kill the commander who led the Yang Yu soldiers to conquer you this time, called Yuan Li. ”

"Tianshu? The Northern Seven Star Divine Dragon saw the head but not the tail, and it is said that everyone who saw them died. I'm so lucky. However, I want to ask you, let me exchange the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers for a superficial commander? Although I am a general in this remote place, I also know that although Yuan Li is the commander, the prestige in the army is the inheritor of the three imperial capital and ten swords, and one of them is the second prince whose morality has spread all over the world. Let me ask Mr. Tianshu, what benefit can we get by killing Yuan Li?"

"General Shi, there are really some errors in your understanding. Yuan Li's marching deployment was definitely not inferior to those imperial capital ten swords. Didn't his crossbow arrows beat you to the ground and flee? General Yang Tianzong's defeat was also because of Yuan Li's clever plan to the Sword Master of the Remnant Sun. Besides, I would like to give you one more piece of information as to why the imperial court suddenly sent troops to conquer the southwest. ”

"The imperial capital has been conquering the heart of the southwest for a long time, what is the important reason?"

"What if the southwest is conquered, just so that this boss can use this merit to marry the princess of the imperial capital?"
