The most peculiar scene appeared, tens of thousands of troops staring at each other, swords and guns facing each other. In the open space in the middle, the barebacked, flower-faced strong men are barefoot, shaking their heads, dancing with their hands, chanting words in their mouths, and entering the realm of selflessness. Golden charms flutter in the sky like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.

When those flowery-faced and barefoot men finally retreated, General Yan Lao raised his golden gun and looked around, and said in a loud voice: "Sons and daughters of Daqi, we have finished watching the show, and we are almost over, it's time to send these bandits who pretend to be gods and ghosts and bring disaster to the country and the people to their Elysium!" In today's battle, when everyone is brave and uses their lives one by one, let them, a group of rabble, see what is the real Great Qi King Division! Beat the drums to attack. ”

Gao Jinbao, who was riding on the horse, was very puzzled, obviously it was the protection of the gods invited by us, why did the other thief look excited and take the lead in the charge? No matter what the outcome is, first of all, you must not lose to the other party in terms of momentum. Thinking of this, he brandished his sword and shouted, "Brothers, charge me!" Kill all the thieves! ”。

From a distance, the two teams of men and horses suddenly set off two huge waves on the calm sea, roaring and crashing head-on.

Soon, the vanguard of the new army for the protection of the country, the first few rows of cavalry in black iron armor, were overwhelmed by the Taiping army dressed in a variety of clothes. Gao Jinbao showed a pleased smile on his face, what can you do if you are well-trained and brave in battle? There are so many of us! But his smile immediately froze on his face: the black iron armor that had been submerged suddenly appeared again, and a large number of Taiping brothers had fallen around them.

General Yan calmly observed the changes in the battle situation, and issued orders from time to time to adjust the deployment of troops and change the direction of attack. The colored flags in the hands of the minions behind him who were in charge of the herald kept waving.

Gao Jinbao was also concentrating on directing his men, but after a while, he became dizzy. Because he only had one eye, he had to twist his neck back and forth vigorously in order to better observe the whole battle.

The officers and men of the New Army for the Protector of the Country were imposing under the command of General Yan Lao, and they did not take the Taiping Army with a large number of people in their eyes at all. After several successive victories, everyone's hearts have long regarded these bandits in front of them as a division of fish belly, and no one believes any invulnerable nonsense.

On the other hand, the Tianping Army, although the Holy Father Tianzun invited the heavenly immortals to bless him before the war, which slightly boosted morale, but he really started to find that the brothers around him who shouted the loudest shouts of killing always died quickly, not to mention that the heavenly immortals may have traveled on a collective holiday, and they can't see the meaning of protection for the brothers of the Taiping Army. As a result, the previous timidity and panic reappeared.

Gao Jinbao's forehead was sweating, and he painfully found that his chain of command was gradually losing its effectiveness.

Although the various colored flags in the hands of the herald behind him were still waving, it seemed that fewer and fewer people looked up at him. The team that had been ordered to replenish the left flank ran to the right, and the soldiers who were in charge of the advance turned around and ran back one after another.

Annoyed Gao Jinbao's voice was hoarse, but his voice was always muffled by the rumbling sound of cannons and loud horns.

Gao Jinbao felt unprecedented pain, which came from the body, such as sour eyes and a neck that was about to be broken. But it's more of a psychological sadness...... This group of wine bags and rice bags under his command did not listen to the command to fight separately, and they did not train well on weekdays, and they always seemed to be in a hurry on the battlefield with real knives and guns.

Facing the Taiping soldiers and horses who had already shown their defeat, Gao Jinbao suddenly regretted a little in his heart: I knew that today, which one else did I build? ! Honestly dancing the gods, coaxing the ignorant villagers to give them a send-off Guanyin, cheating money and sex, what a happy and happy day it was! There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and it is actually more comfortable to be an emperor, but it is just ......

"The Heavenly Father's Holy Venerable Immortal Mang, longevity without borders, light covering the sun and the moon, fugue eight wildernesses, thousands of years, blessings in all directions! The general trend of our army has gone, please move quickly to avoid chaos. Gao Jinbao's chaotic thoughts were interrupted by the loud voice of a great protector who rushed in front of him.

Gao Jinbao hurriedly raised his head and turned his neck with difficulty. The Great Dharma Protector was right: the tide is over! The outnumbered Taiping army was fleeing like crazy, and the New Army was even more hateful, ignoring those who threw down their weapons and fled on their own initiative, and turned to attack those who were still desperately resisting.

This is a rather insidious psychological suggestion that people are aroused by a strong desire to survive in situations of extreme fear. When most people found that they could survive by dropping their weapons and turning and fleeing, more and more people did not hesitate to make the choice. In the face of a strong desire to survive, the Heavenly Father is a piece of shit, and the so-called belief in heaven is bullshit.

A loyal general gritted his teeth and slashed several deserters who ran past him, and when he raised his head and found that there were more and more soldiers who turned around and fled, and could not finish killing them at all, he sighed heavily, turned his horse's head, whipped his horse, and jumped into the torrent of escape.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I'm not going anywhere, the deity will fight to the end with the thieves of Daqi!" Gao Jinbao roared while twisting his body desperately, trying to get rid of the coercion and pull of several Dharma protectors and love generals. However, after only two shouts, he gave up his struggle, and let the Dharma Protectors carry him away from the battlefield quickly. Because he suddenly remembered: Damn, Lao Tzu doesn't know martial arts, what should I do with them?! Forget it.

"Report to the old general, the Taiping bandits have collapsed, will our army take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the bandits?" An adjutant general marched in front of General Yan and clenched his fists with joy on his face.

Old General Yan stroked his silver beard in his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "Mingjin withdraws the troops!" No subordinate shall privately divide troops to chase and kill the fleeing enemy, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Quickly clean up the battlefield, have a good rest tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the army will rush to Quzhou. ”

Then he slowed down and said with a smile: "This time, Lang Xianguan has made a miraculous achievement, the old man will play the imperial court, and all the soldiers of my pioneer battalion will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds!" ”。

The generals of the Taiping Army who were responsible for staying behind to attack Quzhou were full of confidence: The small Quzhou projectile land can store limited grain and grass, and Lao Tzu will besiege and not attack, and it will consume you to death!

When the panicked soldier reported to him that a large number of Daqi men had appeared behind him, he didn't think about it, stepped forward and gave him a big mouth, and scolded him with horizontal eyebrows: "You haven't woken up yet? What nonsense? Misleading the people and disturbing the morale of the army, this general will cut you down immediately! ”。

The soldier reached out and covered his rapidly swollen face, his eyes full of tears and a look of grievance.

Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, the earth-shattering shouts and the loud horn of attack came from far outside the tent, and he gave an unquestionable answer.

On the top of the city, Lang Zhendong, the pioneer officer of the New Army of the Great Qi Protector, who has been struggling for many days, has a full view of everything under the city. Overjoyed, he shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to immediately open the four gates of Quzhou City. He himself put on his horse, held high his silver spear, and led his troops out of the city quickly.

The generals of the Taiping Army who were in charge of the siege of the city were very emotional in their hearts: fate is so tricky, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny! He has done his best to organize a counterattack, but he has no choice but to fight the wolf! He really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it: where did the Heavenly Father Holy Venerable lead the main army to get soy sauce?

After the victorious rendezvous, the officers and men of the New Army for the Protection of the Nation were greatly invigorated, and in the successive strides of offensive battles that followed, they were invincible without suspense, like a bamboo, and invincible. That kind of happiness is described in modern language: sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp!

Guan Yu, the king of Dingbei who returned to Pingzhou City, visited the two brothers again. He didn't say a word about Yun Niang's letter, only saying that he had sent several people to look around, and as soon as there was news, it would be played immediately. Although Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong were deeply dissatisfied with this result, they were helpless.

Guan Yu, who returned to the palace again, ordered someone to call the maid Pei Zhu.

After a while, Pei Zhu, whose eyes were still red and swollen, knelt at Guan Yu's feet.

Guan Yu glanced at Pei Zhu and said, "Pei Zhu, you have served your wife with all your heart and soul over the years. Now, Madame is gone, and you are not young anymore, it is time to find a good family to marry, so that Mrs. Quanxia can know and feel at ease. ”

Tears welled up in Pei Zhu's eyes again, and he kowtowed deeply and said, "Thank you, master, the slave is going back to her hometown, and there are still some relatives at home." ”

Guan Yu nodded and said: "Well, you are a free body, it is good to go back to your hometown, buy some land and family business, and live with peace of mind." Second, if you have relatives by your side, you won't be lonely. With that, he waved his hand, and a personal guard stepped forward with a package.

Guan Yu motioned for him to hand over the package directly to Pei Zhu, and continued: "This is my merit in quelling the chaos, some gold rewarded by the Holy Lord, except for some that has been distributed to his brothers, the rest are here. You take it and buy some land and family business when you go home, and find a good family to marry! ”。

Pei Zhu hurriedly blushed and kowtowed: "The master is such a generous gift, the slave and maid really can't afford it!" Don't hide it from you, sir, when you usually come back from going out, you reward the slave with the jade treasures, and the slave and the maid will not be able to enjoy it in this life. ”

Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Those weekday gifts, you can keep them for fun." You must accept this bag of gold, so that I can feel at ease, and I can be regarded as having an explanation to Qing'er. Also, after returning to your hometown, anyone who dares to bully you can only play the banner of my king of Dingbei. If the other party does not know how to restrain himself, you can send someone to deliver a message to me. Remember, those who go out of my Northern Mansion are not allowed to bully others, but they will never be bullied by anyone! ”。

Pei Zhu bowed deeply again with tears in her eyes, and reluctantly accepted the package.

Standing on the steps in front of the mansion gate, watching the carriage carrying Pei Zhu slowly disappear from sight, Guan Yu turned around and stepped into the mansion gate.
