In the midst of the smoke and dust that obscured the sky and the earth, a huge army was like a rolling river, speeding down the flat avenue.

Countless galloping horses, dense cavalry like a forest converged into an iron-colored sea, no matter how rugged and bumpy the ground was, the black armor still trembled rhythmically, and the fierce gaze never squinted for a moment...... The sound of countless metal gently clashing was mixed with the sound of hooves like angry waves, like a frenzy of rain falling and like a thunderous gale, making the entire army exude a terrifying momentum of destruction and indestructibility.

After the cavalry, in the sound of wheels, hundreds of black chariots came one after another, the unusually huge hull and the four wheels that rotated like flying, as well as the sharp-eyed and flying drivers on the chariots, all showed that this convoy was not an ordinary baggage convoy, but a combat unit that also had terrifying combat power.

In the rear, the heavier dust gradually dispersed, and hundreds of cavalrymen with long poles drove thousands of unmanned war horses to appear, and they shouted in their mouths, and the long poles in their hands flew left and right, constantly driving the horses that tried to break away from the brigade back into the formation. Even though they were Qiang heroes who had learned the art of horse herding since childhood, they were still very busy in the face of as many as 5,000 ownerless war horses.

A black-armored young general galloping at the forefront of the army suddenly reined in his horse, and the majestic war horse roared and stood up, showing the perfect shape of the man and horse together with the chic movement of the master twisting his waist sideways.

The black-armored general's sharp gaze fell on the familiar sign beside the road ahead, and a joyful light appeared on his face, and he flicked his cloak behind his back and greeted the herald beside him.

As the sound of thunderous horses' hooves gradually became inaudible, the black-armored general suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, we have entered the territory of the Bohai Sea...... Homecoming! ”

"Go home! Go home! The warriors waved their weapons and cheered heartily together. After months of fighting and killing, they finally set foot on this land of their own again. The endless blood of defending the family and country and driving away the Hu Lu is still surging in the chest, and the brothers and comrades-in-arms who live and die together and wear the same clothes are still carrying with them, and in front of them is the home of thinking about the night, which is the glory that truly belongs to a warrior.

The eagle hovering in the sky also sent out bursts of clear eagle chirps, as if sharing this shocking ambition.

"General, I don't know why......" Li Jin slowly rode his horse to the side of the black-armored general, and said with emotion: "On this expedition, the last general has a long feeling of being in a different world!" ”

"Not surprising!" Nan Ying looked at the endless world in front of him, and said with a lot of feelings: "Although it has only been more than two months, but the various difficulties and obstacles we have encountered, and the peaks and turns we have experienced, how can ordinary people imagine?" ”

"Fortunately, everything is thrilling, and it can even be called a lot of harvest!" Nan Ying laughed: "Look at that white wind, not only will it be unscathed, but it will also get a large number of war horses, equipment, grain and grass, and it is just around the corner to dominate Taihang Mountain!" ”

After Ma Yunluo was short-lived that day, Nanying commanded the whole army to spend a day to strip tens of thousands of sleeping enemy troops clean, except for leaving 5,000 war horses and enough grain and grass according to the agreement, not even a single arrow was left. The mountains of all kinds of materials almost crushed the wheels, but fortunately, not only nearly 1,000 ordinary carts were captured, but also a large number of war horses and equipment were carried out, and they finally returned with a full load as they wished.

A day after the army marched out of Yunwu Mountain, a large number of weapons, grain and grass were hidden in the search for a large number of weapons for the white winding machine to collect. At the same time, Nanying will also secretly transport 2,000 war horses to Taihang Mountain through Sun Binshuo. Bai Huan was blessed by misfortune this time, and it won't be long before he will become the largest force near Taihang Mountain.

"Once you control Taihang Mountain, this kid Bai Huan still can't do his best to help Ben Jiang collect those volcanic ashes?" He said proudly: "When the whole territory of the Bohai Sea extends in all directions, it is the time for us to encroach on the surrounding areas...... Think about it! A wide road like a spider's web, which can quickly transport our soldiers and logistics to any breakthrough point, the future battle will be a blitzkrieg of long-distance and close attack! ”

"The last general is ashamed!" Li Jin said with some embarrassment: "This errand of collecting volcanic ash was originally a ...... that fell on the last general."

"You have a more important duty!" Nan Ying shook his head and said, "This time I went out to fight the Karasuma Iron Cavalry, I would have realized a problem...... At a given moment, an elite archer can completely change a war with a disparity of power. And your mission is to train such a force! ”

"Yes! The last general should do his best! Li Jin smiled and said, "However, I still have to ask the general to appoint General Cao Xing to help me!" ”

"No problem!" Nan Ying's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered someone, and blurted out: "Perhaps, in the near future, there will be another archer who will join us!" ”

"Ahh Li Jin also said fiercely: "The person the general said is ......"

The sound of horses' hooves behind them was loud, and the two of them stopped talking together and turned around to look.

The person who came from the "Divine Messenger ......" was Guan Ping, the leader of the guardians, and when he saw Nanying frowning slightly, he immediately changed his words with a wry smile: "General, my subordinates have something to say!" ”

"General, the last general still has to arrange the camp, and retire first!" Li Jin greeted Guan Ping knowingly and walked away.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Nan Ying nodded to Guan Ping: "Along the way, you not only have to protect Miss Mengyi, but also assist the army in defending and guarding, even the general has no chance to talk to you more!" ”

"General Meng's kindness has allowed our brothers to get out of the cage, and all brothers are grateful to the general! It's just ......" Guan Ping said with some difficulty: "The general also knows that the Nanhua Immortals once strictly ordered us not to get too involved in mortal disputes, we ......"

"You will understand your suffering, and you will not need to go into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you serve as a temporary guardian!" Nanying smiled and said, "Bohai is just your temporary residence. When Ben settles down here, I will send you to Hanzhong, where we have been operating for many years. I believe that with the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Eagle's Nest, your life will not be boring! ”

"What's more! Ben is going to start a family and have children for you, and enjoy life to the fullest! He blinked: "This good day has just begun!" ”

"Thank you, General!" Guan Ping was overjoyed at first, and then said with some confusion: "Getting married and having children? I've almost forgotten what it feels like! ”

"What? You said you forgot? Nanying was slightly stunned and said, "Doesn't this prove that you have ever had a family and have children?" ”

"Of course!" Guan Ping smiled bitterly, with a hint of sorrow on his face, as if he was unraveling the dusty past: "It's a pity that I have been away from my hometown for nearly twenty years, and I have spent fifteen years of my long life in Yunwu Mountain alone, and I don't know how the orphans and widows at home ......."

"General!" An officer suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted. In the sky, the eye of heaven that was circling and flying suddenly flapped its wings and headed towards the southeast, and a small black dot also flew straight from the southeast.

"It's another heavenly eye!" Nan Ying said with a smile: "I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped into the Bohai Sea border, there would be our soldiers and horses coming to meet!" ”

He slammed the horse's belly, and the horse seemed to feel the master's heart, and galloped out like an arrow, and the generals and guards behind him hurriedly chased after him.

"Guan Hai!" Nanying grabbed the reins and shouted happily as he looked at the more than 100 cavalrymen galloping on the opposite side. The young general led by him has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his air is magnificent, and he is the fierce general Guan Hai stationed in the Bohai Sea.

"General......" Guan Hai jumped off the horse and walked towards Nanying, there seemed to be no joy of reunion after a long absence, but a trace of gloom on his face.

"Good boy, it's been months! Why is it not only upset to see Ben, but like someone owes you money? Nan Ying also jumped off the horse and punched Guan Hai on the shoulder: "Are you blaming Ben for not taking you with him?" ”

"The general forgives the sin!" Guan Hai suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said: "The last general is here to greet the general, and second, he made a special trip to ask the general for his guilt!" ”

"Please? What's going on? Nan Ying's heart was shocked, and he had a bad feeling that there was a fire behind the house, could it be that he was lucky enough to defeat tens of thousands of enemy troops who were chasing and intercepting him, and they were so clever that they still sent another army of soldiers and horses to take advantage of the gap to raid the Bohai Sea?

"Isn't it those Karasuma ......" he blurted out, but he saw Guan Hai look up in amazement, a blank look flashed in his eyes, and his heart was immediately relieved, it didn't seem to be what he imagined.

"General! The last general is incompetent and derelict in his duties! Guan Hai said in a low voice: "A few days ago, when it was the turn of the last general to guard the defense of the slipway, he was taken advantage of by a group of Xiaoxiao and robbed the two newly completed building ships!" ”

"What do you say? Two building ships! Nanying's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately fell into a rage, and he said sharply: "Do you know who did it?" ”

The building ship is the largest water war ship in this era, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expedition to South Vietnam, built a large building ship with four floors, up to ten zhang, can carry a thousand soldiers. Although the building ship built by Mo Rang supervised was to meet the emperor's order of the Son of Heaven, it was also three stories high, which could accommodate 500 soldiers, and its hull could only be described as a "behemoth". According to Mo Rang's advance estimate, 300 craftsmen led 2,000 migrant workers to start construction at full strength, and it would take at least a month to build one. Such a time-consuming and labor-intensive giant ship was robbed of two at once, how could Nanying not be furious?

"It should be the pirates who attacked the Bohai dock wall that day, according to the information we have, the leader's name is Li Shaojie!" Guan Hai was a little afraid to look at Nan Ying's lowered head.

"It turned out to be them!" Nan Ying laughed angrily: "So I would have been kind and soft for a while that day, but I was raising tigers!" ”

"Li Shaojie?" He paused suddenly, and said, "Is it related to the surname Li among the four major families of Bohai?" ”

"I really don't know this!" Guan Hai shook his head in confusion.

"Well, since they are deliberately revenge, it is not your fault!" Nan Ying barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "So, what about our casualties? ”

"Casualties?" Guan Hai was stunned and said: "General Qiyu, the other party adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, luring all the garrison troops away, and then tied up all the craftsmen, and drove away...... Yes, we didn't have a single casualty! ”

"That's a little bastard!" Nan Ying was also stunned, and scolded and said: "If he dares to hurt a hair of those craftsmen, he will never give up with him!" ”

"Hmph, Ben will return to the division this time, with thousands of war horses!" He said to himself: "Today's Bohai Sea is unprecedentedly strong, how can a group of little pirates covet it?" Even if we don't cut them down to the roots, we must eliminate hidden dangers! ”

"Guan Hai, immediately pass on my general order, all the elite troops are assembled outside Nanpi City and stand by, and send scouts to various places along the coast with Tianyan to search for the whereabouts of pirates......" Nanying didn't finish speaking, but when he saw Guan Hai's embarrassed expression, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter?" Are there any grievances about Ben's deployment? ”

"The last general is now guilty of meritorious service, how dare he offend the general?" Guan Hai smiled bitterly: "This group of pirates found a big white eagle out of nowhere, specifically attacking our army's Heavenly Eye, and two Heavenly Eyes have been injured by it, so the last general suggested ......"

"It's not good!" Nanying couldn't help but gasp, and muttered: "Okay, the whole army will be prepared outside Nanpi City first, and then it will be dealt with after the military discussion!" ”

"General! Although this group of pirates should not be underestimated, is it a bit of a fuss to gather the strength of the whole army to encircle and suppress it? Guan Hai couldn't help but continued: "After all, dealing with more than 1,000 pirates with more than 10,000 troops is really a lot of labor, and the general is worried that it will miss my Bohai development plan!" ”

"You don't know what's so powerful about it!" Nan Ying said solemnly: "A small group of pirates was able to rob our two ships in the middle of a storm....... not because we can't bear such losses, but because it is related to the momentum of our army." If our army fails to resolve this matter with a thunderbolt, all the forces with ill intentions towards us will be ready to move, and if they have the opportunity, they will rush up and devour our flesh and blood at all costs! ”

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill!" His face was full of solemnity: "If our Bohai Sea is a majestic causeway that is piling up, then this group of pirates is an anthill hidden deep in the embankment, if it cannot be eradicated in time, it will shake the whole situation in time!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Guan Hai responded, suddenly heard the sound of hooves, and couldn't help but look up behind Nanying.

But it was Guan Ping who led a few guardians to follow slowly, Nanying saw Guan Hai's confused look, couldn't help but smile slightly, temporarily put the trouble in front of him behind, and said happily: "It's just right!" This is the same clan of your steward, and in the future, he will be a brother and comrade-in-arms who will advance and retreat together, come and come, and will introduce you to ......"

Guan Hai's gaze fell on Guan Ping's ordinary face, and his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "Father? ”

"What did you say?" Nan Ying was shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Say it again? ”
