Chapter 48 Hatred
The army stopped in place, and after a while, Xuan Qi's hand waved forward, and the team continued to move forward.
The Xuanjia army is well-trained, and they are ready to fight at any time.
The further I went, the clearer the sound became.
"Su Wei, take a few brothers to the front to investigate, and be careful." Xuan Qi once again stopped the team in place to guard and sent Su Wei to check on the road ahead.
After Su Wei was ordered to leave, Xuan Qi suddenly looked at Ji Qianning: "Ning'er, don't stay too far away from me for a while." His tone was gentle, and his words were full of concern.
Ji Qianning signaled him with his eyes to rest assured. Immediately, a voice echoed in the bottom of my heart over and over again: "Xuan Qi, I will definitely be able to take care of myself, no matter when, I will advance and retreat with you, and swear to die." ”
Xuan Yi saw his brother's attitude towards his sister-in-law, and then remembered his attitude towards himself on weekdays, sighed and shook his head aggrievedly.
After a cup of tea, Su Wei and the others rode their horses, and when the horses stopped in front of Xuan Qi, Su Wei hurriedly said: "Master, there is an army being chased and killed by the people of the Western Corner. ”
"How many people are on the other side?" A haze appeared in Xuan Qi's eyes.
"More than four hundred people."
"Save people." Xuan Qi gave an order, took the lead in riding his horse and galloping, and the soldiers behind him followed closely behind, and the army moved forward at great speed, and patches of thick fog rose from the place where he stood.
Before arriving at the battlefield, Ji Qianning saw an even more shocking scene from a distance: the sound of soldiers colliding not far away, the neighing of horses, and all kinds of sounds were mixed together, which was extremely harsh. The banner defected, the carriage broke, the bones were everywhere, the blood flowed like a river, and the bloody swords, guns, swords and halberds were scattered all over the place. Those who are alive are either missing arms, legs, or only one eye...... Even if they were intact, they were covered in blood, and even so, they still fought bravely.
Seeing such a scene, Ji Qianning was a little sick to her stomach, she tried her best to calm herself, adjusted her state, and followed Xuan Qi to run towards the enemy.
Perhaps it was the belligerent spirit that was deeply rooted in the blood, the Daxin knights were iron-clad, only advancing and not retreating, and when they saw the group of people in front of them holding soldiers and mighty people, they did not make the slightest intention of escaping, they rushed forward with shouts and fought desperately with each other.
Ji Qianning pulled out the innocent sword that Xuan Qi gave her, jumped off her horse and stabbed at the Daxin cavalry. She held a sharp sword in her hand, and her body was athletic, and a few cavalrymen couldn't get close to her at all.
Xuan Qi, who was not far away, shouted at her: "Ning'er, be careful." With that, the sword in his hand plunged straight into the heart of the enemy.
Ji Qianning nodded to reassure him, and then, she turned the sword in her hand, held the hilt of the sword with her backhand, stretched out her arm and pressed the hilt against the enemy's stomach, and the poor man was pushed far away.
Although it was not the first time to face the killing, Ji Qianning never went down to the killer, and when she saw those who died one by one, she was a little afraid in her heart.
But she suddenly saw the desolate earth, saw the soldiers fighting to the death, remembered those innocent people, and suddenly came to mind the picture of the people in the western corner burning and looting in Jingdu, and the family fell under their butcher's knife one by one, and the hatred in her heart was immediately stimulated, she wanted to avenge her family, only by cleaning up these jackals, the world could be more peaceful.
Thinking of this, her eyes became fierce, a gust of wind passed, blowing up the scattered green silk, she clenched the hilt of her sword, and stabbed at the enemy who was approaching, and after a while, the corpses of more than a dozen Daxin people lay beside her.
Dressed in white and splattered with blood, she thrust her sword into the ground, clenched her fists, and looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.
Xuan Qi made a ruthless move, with one enemy and ten, and effortlessly solved the enemies who rushed up one by one. While killing the enemy, he paid attention to Ji Qianning's safety, when he saw such a scene, he couldn't bear it, he understood the helplessness and helplessness of killing for the first time, Ning'er could have been a carefree daughter, but now, he has to suffer in this killing place, is he wrong?
But he didn't know that Ji Qianning didn't like the life of not going out of the door, being confined to three from four Delhi, marrying early and being a wife, and being bound by etiquette all day long. She has the blood of the Ji family in her body, and the Ji family has always been chivalrous and brave, and she is willing to make a modest contribution to the common people in the world.
Perhaps, she feels that only when she becomes strong can she walk side by side with her beloved in the same posture, just like the arbor on Kunshan Mountain in Yucheng, although she is a woman, she can occasionally shelter her beloved from the wind and rain.
Xuan Yi and Su Wei looked shocked, they didn't expect that the weak woman in their eyes would become so powerful.
It wasn't until Xuan Qi held her in his arms that Ji Qianning came back to her senses. Xuan Qi looked at her worriedly, and she shook her head with a wry smile to reassure him.
With a stick of incense, the Daxin cavalry was annihilated, and the rescued soldiers immediately knelt on one knee and thanked everyone for their life-saving grace. The one-legged soldiers, holding their swords, bent one leg and knelt down with all their might......
"Where did you come from, and where did you come from?" The one who asked the question was Xuan Qi, who was holding Ji Qianning.
The man at the front with his broken armor and covered in blood saw the black battle flag with the word "A" tattooed on the seal body raised high, and guessed Xuan Qi's identity, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "His Royal Highness King Ling, we are all under the command of General Pei Yuan." ”
Xuan Yi looked at Xuan Qi and asked, "Brother Wang, General Pei Yuan of Beiyue stationed in Lezhou City?" ”
Without waiting for Xuan Qi to answer, the man said, "Exactly." ”
Xuan Yi continued to ask: "Why was you hunted down?" ”
Hearing Xuan Yi's question, the man suddenly became excited: "The people of Xiyu are attacking the city, and General Pei ordered us to desperately flee from Lezhou to report to the outside world." ”
"How is the battle going, where is General Pei now?" It's still Xuan Yi who asks the question.
"General Pei was martyred, Lezhou, Lezhou, lost...... They also hung the general's body on the city gate for public display. The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, and secretly wiped his tears.
Xuan Qi, who had not spoken for a long time, looked even more gloomy, General Pei Yuan, he had already asked in his ears, this person was upright, brave and loyal, and swore to serve the country to the death, but he didn't want to end up like this, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"It's not all." More than a dozen people who survived by luck said a word, "Meizhou in front of Lezhou was also lost, and the thieves in the western corner began to slaughter the city after capturing Meizhou, even the old and weak women and children were not spared, and eighty percent of the people in the city were buried under their butcher's knives. Now, the people of Lezhou are afraid that they will also suffer from this disaster. "The dignified and iron-clad man, when he said this, he left tears of remorse.
"Damn." Everyone hated the people of the western corner, and they all clenched the hilt of their swords in their hands.
"Master, we should have gone to Lezhou to join General Pei, what is the current situation?" Su Wei took a deep breath, calmed his mind a little, and asked Xuan Qi for his next move.
Xuan Qi's face was like frost, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and the words he blurted out were cold, making people shudder: "Brothers, Lezhou is only more than fifty miles away from here, and there will be a fierce battle to recapture Lezhou and avenge General Pei and the soldiers who died in vain." ”
"Yes." The generals were full of anger and vowed to kill the thieves in the west.
Ji Qianning's eyes were a little moist, she was not worth it for those people who died in vain, why did the power struggle of those people let innocent people be buried together? These are Xuanqi's people, how much pain should his heart have? She looked at Xuan Qi's eyes with distress, there was resentment, anger, and compassion in them, and she held his hand tightly, hoping to give him a little comfort.
Being held by Ji Qianning, Xuan Qi immediately softened a lot: "What are you going to do next?" ”
"I waited for my life to avenge General Pei one day. I don't regret waiting for death, I am willing to enter Lezhou with His Royal Highness, and I will be ashamed. ”
Xuan Qi looked at them for a long time and sighed: "Brothers, it is enough to have this heart, you are too seriously injured and need to be treated in time, if you take care of your injuries, you have a chance to kill the enemy, go to Ruofeng City to find General Cheng, he will find someone to treat you." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
More than a dozen people staggered up with each other's support, and gave the most solemn military salute to Xuan Qi, everyone had tears in their eyes, their expressions were firm, and they rode on a dozen horses left by King Ling's order, and headed south.
Xuan Qi looked at the direction they were leaving, and lost his mind for a moment, he repeatedly asked himself in his heart: "I have long been numb to seeing too many killings, I never thought that this war is so cruel than I imagined, I can't help but feel compassion, what can war bring?" ”
For the first time, Xuan Qi was confused on the battlefield......
Raise your head, the remnant sun is like blood......
In the eighteenth year of Emperor Yan's Tianqing, Xuanqi, who was only fifteen years old, secretly formed the Xuanjia Army under the instruction of Emperor Yan, and then after strict selection and high-intensity training, in just one year, this army became an elite with extremely high combat quality, although there were only more than 1,000 people at first.
In the eyes of the world, Xuan Qi, who went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen, is just a reckless man who likes to kill, with no talent and no virtue. But they didn't know that all this was just a means for the Yan Emperor to protect him.
The real Xuan Qi, who has both literary and military talents, has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has extremely high military command skills, even some battle-hardened veterans are much inferior in front of him.
At the age of sixteen, Xuanqi took the Xuanjia Army to the battlefield, and since then he has made countless brilliant achievements, and the Xuanjia Army has a well-known reputation in the land of Kyushu.
Marching all the way from Chiyan to Beiyue, Xuanqi and the royal family of Beiyue agreed to distribute 100,000 troops to various places to resist the Daxin cavalry. A few days ago, Xuan Qi sent Su Yi with more than 8,000 Xuanjia soldiers to help the Holy General of Beiyue He attack Jinguan City, and won a complete victory.
At this time, Xuan Qi had only more than 700 soldiers under his command.
At night, Xuan Qi and his party avoided the moonlight and moved forward at great speed in the dark. They took advantage of the fact that the Daxin soldiers were still immersed in the joy of attacking the city, and their guards were lax at that time, so they sent people to secretly climb the city wall, quickly solve the guards on the city tower, and open the city gate.
The soldiers who infiltrated the city first hid in the shadows of the city, took them by surprise, attacked them unprepared, and eliminated the soldiers guarding along the road. The rest of the people who were waiting outside the city saw the signal from the advance army and stormed into the city with all their might.
At this time, the people in the city were driven by the Daxin soldiers in the square in the center of the city, they were trembling and curled up together, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, in addition to fear in the eyes is hatred, there were several bloody corpses lying in front of them, and the surrounding Daxin people were happily showing off their "great achievements".
Even so, not a single member of the crowd resisted, perhaps knowing in their hearts that the rebellion was only a sign of sooner death.
Just as the scimitar of a knight slashed at a sturdy man, an arrow flew into his chest from afar, and the knight fell to the ground before he could snort.
There was an immediate commotion in the crowd, and when they looked not far away, they saw a man in black uniform sitting on a horse, his bow still not falling.
At this time, Xuan Qi was like a savior who came to the world to help them get out of suffering in the eyes of the people.
By the time the Daxin knights reacted, they had been heavily surrounded......
