"Report! Sixty miles ahead arrived at Linhai City, and the garrison sent the latest battle report. ”

After nine days of rapid marching, it was finally time to arrive at Linhai City, and seeing the soldiers who came to deliver the battle report running to the right vanguard, Mu Huang took a deep breath and said to Qingcheng beside him: "It's finally here, I'm really a little nervous." Duan Qingcheng, this is a great opportunity, not to mention that you have to cherish it, but you are not allowed to embarrass me, you must grab the first credit. ”

After Mu Huang finished speaking, she didn't see any reaction from Qingcheng, she thought that the latter didn't want to deal with her, and looked at it angrily, and found that Qingcheng seemed to be in a daze. Mu Huang shouted again, and Qingcheng came back to his senses and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"What's the matter with you, the enemy is current, and you still have the heart to think about it?"

"What kind of big enemy is at the moment, it's just some overseas barbarians", said this with a chuckle, Qingcheng paused, his expression became serious again, and he said: "But it is precisely these overseas barbarians who actually beat the 30,000 army of Zhenhai Hou to less than 8,000?" What a joke. ”

Hearing Qingcheng mention this, Mu Huang thought he was laughing at Zhenhaihou, so he said: "Yes, I only received a battle report from Zhenhaihou nine days ago, saying that he wanted the whole army to attack and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, and I thought that Zhenhaihou could turn the tables, but I never expected that it was only five days, and he was beaten by others, and now there are less than 8,000 people left, which is really tragic." But fortunately, this Zhenhai Marquis did not lose his integrity, and wrote to the court that he would fight to the last soldier and die with the enemy. ”

It turns out that the Marquis of Zhenhai has been defeated! As mentioned above, the Marquis of Zhenhai sent a war report saying that he would attack the whole army and attack the base camp of the pirates, striving to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, but since he sent his troops, he fought for five days in a row, and finally killed more than 7,000 people of 30,000 troops, which can be said to be a complete defeat.

Hearing what Mu Huang said, Qingcheng pondered for a while, smiled meaningfully, and said: "He can't do it with the enemy, but the Marquis of Zhenhai did not lose his integrity after the defeat, and none of the garrison troops defected and surrendered, and declared that he would fight to the last soldier, which shows that he is also a good ruler of the army." As long as he can hold on to our support, in the end, the court can only punish him for the crime of not seeking it, at most, he will be demoted and replaced, and his life will not be endangered. ”

Mu Huang naturally couldn't hear Qingcheng's deep meaning, so he only said, "By the way, what did you think just now?" ”

Qingcheng's expression was solemn, and he explained after a moment of silence: "I'm just curious, why this Haichuan bandit trouble was actually pressed and beaten by someone one-sidedly, and what this Zhenhaihou did, first in the early stage of the war, he didn't care about the continuous request for help, and then he lost consecutive battles, and then later, he suddenly had to fight to the death, and the result became the current situation, these two things are linked, I always feel that there is a problem here." ”

In fact, it is not only Qingcheng, I believe that this is also the doubt of the generals of Daqi, and just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly rode over, waving their hands, and shouting loudly: "Report!" Twenty miles ahead, it was found that the defenders of Linhai City were surrounded, and the number of enemies was unknown! ”

"What? Why did Zhenhaihou let people out of the city? ”

Although I didn't see a clear report on the latest battle, I could already hear from this person that the situation was urgent, Qingcheng immediately beckoned Lei Ying and Blizzle over, and said hurriedly: "It's too late to wait for the army to pass, Mu Huang, you report to the right vanguard later, I rushed over with Blast Wind and two hundred cavalry to save people, you quickly follow." Thunder Shadow, protect Mu Zhongzhen. ”

After speaking, Qingcheng clamped his legs, waved his horsewhip fiercely, and rushed away, while the wind quickly followed with two hundred cavalry. Mu Huang, who didn't have time to react for a while, was stunned at first, then pouted angrily, and thought to himself: I know that I can do it, I don't know how many people on the other party will go, so I don't let people worry.

Although he thought so in his heart, Mu Huang hurriedly reported the situation to the right vanguard, and ordered Lei Ying to order the vanguard army to follow quickly.

Outside Linhai City, at this moment, there is a group of soldiers who are surrounded by a group of strangers in strange costumes, and they should be the protagonists of this time, the so-called Haichuan pirates. But in fact, it is a group of ronins, but looking at the number, there are as many as 3,000 people, on the other hand, the surrounded Daqi soldiers are only less than 100 people, and the disparity in strength is too large, and it is difficult to get out of trouble.

Seeing that the prey had reached the encirclement, one of the leaders of the ronin walked towards the soldiers of the Great Qi, looked around, and said with a frivolous smile in Haichuan language: "This is the Heavenly Empire, the Great Qi King?" We're surrounded here like wild boars, hahahaha. ”

Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell by the way they looked at them that they were laughing, and one of the young men couldn't bear it anymore, and brandished his saber in his hand and slashed at the man. The man turned his back to the soldier, leaned forward, and the handle of the saber at his waist just blocked his attack, and at the same time, he held the handle of the knife in reverse with his right hand and quickly drew the knife, and then hunched his waist and turned counterclockwise, slashing the soldier's waist and abdomen, and punching the wound. In an instant, the soldier's waist was surging with blood, and he retreated backwards, and was caught by several companions.

"Zhao Fang! Zhao Fang, you hold on! Reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

The last words of the person who caught him were almost crying, and the seriously injured soldier looked no more than eighteen years old, and a young life was disappearing like this, on the other hand, the ronin leader was not concerned, but very excited.

"If you want to blame, blame your bad life, born in Daqi, serving Zhenhaihou, everything is over."

As he spoke, he raised the saber in his hand, and the ronins around him slowly approached, narrowing the encirclement, and seeing that he was about to make a move. And the soldiers of Daqi, looking at their companions who had just fallen, the anger in their hearts burned to the extreme, and they all secretly clenched their weapons one by one, preparing to burn the jade. And at this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, accompanied by a shout.

"Wan Lijun takes the lead, and Duan Qingcheng, the young general of Qingyu City, is here!"

That's right, at the last moment, Qingcheng rushed to the rescue and rushed into the encirclement. I saw him turn the gun upside down, pestle the ground with the head of the gun, hold the tail of the gun, shout the flag while waving the thunder and lightning spear vigorously, where the head of the gun passed, several ronins fell in response, all of them died with a shot to seal their throats.

Everyone was startled by the sudden Qingcheng, and they were stunned for a long time without reacting. After Qingcheng rushed into the encirclement, looking at the fallen young soldier, the anger in his heart was difficult to suppress, and with a rein of the horse, the dark clouds turned around and turned to the ronin who had committed the murder just now, and then Qingcheng turned the gun, pointed at the other party, and rushed over.

"Hmph, just a starter, how much ability can you have, looking for death!"

The man obviously didn't look up to Qingcheng, he only felt that a starter, but he was just bluffing, so he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, his feet jumped up in the air, and he held the knife high with both hands, and slashed at Qingcheng's head. Seeing him like this, Qingcheng reined in the horse's reins and stopped the dark clouds, while holding up the thunder horizontally, blocking the man's attack with the body of his gun.

"What a hard gun!"

Before the man could change his moves, Qingcheng stretched forward with his right hand holding the body of the gun, swept the man's head with the tail of the gun, and then withdrew his right hand and stretched forward with his left hand, and then swept the head of the gun to his abdomen, the man only felt a huge force coming, and there was a burst of fishy sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out. On the other hand, Qingcheng didn't mean that it was over, I saw him wrapping his hands around his waist, and the thunder flashed around his abdomen, returning to his left hand, and then Qingcheng quickly shot out, and it pierced the man's chest.

"Poof!"

The man spurted out a mouthful of blood, but when he saw Qingcheng's hand exert force, he flew upside down, and died when he fell to the ground. However, in a flash of light, Qingcheng solved a leader, and this martial art shocked everyone present. Looking at their appearance, Qingcheng raised the spear in his hand, intending to demonstrate.

"Great Qi King Division, invincible!"

Looking at his appearance, the ronin side was frightened, and the soldiers of Daqi, after nearly four months of continuous defeat, suddenly saw this scene and spontaneously knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live".

"Zhao Fang, have you seen it? Reinforcements arrived, we were saved, you, you hold on! ”

Qingcheng rode to their side on a dark cloud cluster, the fallen Zhao Fang had just witnessed his bravery, at this moment, Qingcheng was on a high place, through a ray of sunlight, Zhao Fang only felt that he had seen the gods descend to earth, and finally showed a smile of relief.

"General, general, but Wan Li's army is coming to help?"

Looking at his appearance, Qingcheng knew that his wound was too deep, and he was too injured to return to the sky, so he sighed helplessly and replied: "Little brother, the army of the king has arrived, you can go with confidence." If you have anything to say, please let me know, and I will do it for you. ”

"Yes, it's just reinforcements. General, please protect Linhai City, I, our family, are all there......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Fang had no strength, so he should have gone. Listening to his last words, Qingcheng turned his head to look at the older soldier who was holding him and asked, "Does he have a family?" ”

"There is still a mother in the family, who is old and frail, and lives in the city."

Listening to his words, Qingcheng frowned, and asked puzzledly: "He is the only son in the family, and he has an elderly mother, why did he join the army?" ”

"General, the garrison in Linhai City is about to run out, and if we don't go to the battlefield, who will protect our families?"

Listening to his answer, Qingcheng was stunned for a while. Yes, the army is gone, and the family can only rely on themselves to protect it, and every soldier who joins the army, when he first swears an oath, isn't it to protect his family and defend the country? Defending the country is to protect the family!

"From now on, his mother will be taken care of by those of us who survived", Qingcheng paused, and after a moment of silence, he said firmly: "From now on, all the people of Daqi will be protected by us seven-foot men in military uniforms!" Our Great Qi is the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, and the Quartet comes to the court, and if the foreign barbarians come to attack, they will be punished even if they are far away! ”

The last sentence, Qingcheng shouted, and after he finished speaking, he looked around, his eyes were like knives, and he pierced the body of each ronin, as if he wanted to kill them all......

"You brutes, take your life!"
