An army of the descendants launched an attack on He Rongren in the early hours of the morning, and as soon as they swarmed in, they cut down people when they saw them, and threw torches when they saw tents, and it seemed that they didn't want to keep them alive.

There are a large number of descending troops, and everyone is scrambling, but they are extremely disorganized, and they don't even have a formation, probably because they all feel that they will win this battle if they fight more and less, so they have no fear.

Ma Touqing is a person who grew up on the battlefield, since entering the Central Plains, there has not been a day of slacking off, as long as he camps, he will inevitably send scouts from afar, so when the army is still more than ten miles away, he has been informed.

Ma Touqing immediately got up, did not untie the rope around his waist, took Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi out of the tent, quietly woke up all the soldiers, hid in a corner of the camp, surrounded by horses, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

He was very patient, and waited until several tents were lit and several servants who had been deliberately left behind in the tents were killed, and then he gave the order to shoot arrows, and he was the first to do it, and with the help of the fire, an arrow hit the target.

Although there are not many people in He Rong, they are all calm and fearless, they must fill their bows, aim their arrows, hide in the dark, and shoot down the targets in the firelight one after another.

The descendant army got the news that the number of He Rong people was not large, so they rushed to attack the camp in the early morning, but they didn't expect to be counterattacked, and they didn't know why in the dark, they only listened to the whizzing of arrows, and people kept falling around, and they couldn't help but fall into a huge panic, thinking that the news was wrong, and the sneak attack was ambushed.

This is a new army that has not been put together for a long time, and the panic is so great that the soldiers immediately scatter and flee, and the leader runs faster, all trying to save his life first.

Ma Touqing ordered his soldiers to mount their horses and pursue, but they were only allowed to chase ten miles at most, and they had to return to the camp before dawn, so as not to be seen by the enemy and defeated.

This time he did not venture any further, and remained in the camp himself, concentrating on guarding the two "captives"—his idea was very simple, and the man who was only to let him watch must be watched.

His next idea was also very simple, just let him send people to the Liang King, then he must send them.

The incarnation army was dispersed, and when all the soldiers returned, Ma Touqing gave the order to set off, and everyone ate at once.

When Xu Ji fled south, he took the small road, and when he returned to the north, he took the big road, and if he was in a hurry, he might be able to enter the boundary of Liangzhou tonight.

Soon after dawn, the Herong people were attacked for the second time, and it was still the descending army, but it was not the same as before.

Yiqi was indeed persuaded by Xu Ji to kill "King Wu" in front of the leaders, so he sent people to deliver letters everywhere, he was killed, the letters were still on the way, and some of them had already been delivered, attracting several contenders.

Fighting during the day, the shortcomings of He Rongren's insufficient troops were clear at a glance, and there was no way to hide them, so Ma Touqing handed over Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi to four cronies and soldiers, let them guard them strictly, and led the team to meet the battle himself.

He Rong is good at riding and shooting, and the soldiers who descend into the world rely on many people, once someone is shot down, they immediately "humble", and no one wants to rush to the front.

Although the people of He Rong fought and walked, although they did not fall into a desperate situation, their speed was greatly affected, and the most deadly thing was that they were about to run out of arrows.

The incarnation army dispersed and reunited, retreated and came again, and always refused to stop there.

Ma Touqing was furious, but there was nothing he could do, he didn't know that the purpose of these incarnation troops was to capture Xu Ji, and he simply thought it was revenge on He Rongren.

Soon in the afternoon, there were not many arrows left of He Rongren, Ma Touqing knew that he could not continue to consume them like this, so he gathered everyone and said loudly, and then gathered the arrows and handed them over to the more than ten people with the best archery skills, preparing to disperse and flee, and he and these ten people continued to complete the task.

A guide was instructed to Xu Ji: "Lord He Rong said that you have to follow him, if you want to escape, he will shoot you, and when the arrows are exhausted, he will also kill you." ”

"Tell him to deliver me up, and the army will retreat, and they will come for me."

The guide immediately relayed that Ma Touqing was impassioned and obviously refused to hand over.

Without waiting for the guide to speak, Xu Ji said: "Shan Yu handed him a secret letter and asked him to open it, so he wouldn't be so stubborn." ”

Ma Touqing was very surprised, and asked the guide to ask, "Do you know that there is a secret letter?" ”

"It's not important, anyway, the secret letter is not secret, you can open it."

The descendant army in the distance slowly caught up again, Ma Touqing glanced at the surrounding soldiers, most of them had handed over their arrows, only short knives were left to defend themselves, although he believed that He Rong warriors were not afraid of close combat, all of them could be one enemy ten, but the number of enemies was more than ten times, once the short soldiers met, they could only fight with their lives, and there was no chance of victory.

Ma Touqing finally took out the secret letter from his arms and opened it carefully, but he couldn't read, so he could only find someone else to read it, and he couldn't help but be surprised to learn the content of the book.

The person who read the letter used He Rong's language, Xu Ji didn't understand, he probably knew the content, and said to the guide: "Tell Ma Touqing, no matter what, kill me, it's better to hand it over to the descendant army and let them do it." ”

The descending army has been shouting "kill Xu Ji" and "avenge King Xiong", the guide can understand it, and knows that what Xu Ji said is true, so he immediately translated it to Ma Touqing.

Ma Touqing didn't reply, but pulled out his knife.

Xu Ji found that he had said one less word, and immediately added: "There is a reason for just letting others kill me, Ma Touqing can't do it himself." ”

After listening to the guide's words, Ma Touqing showed a confused expression.

"Just to use my death to provoke the Central Plains forces to fight each other, if I am killed by He Rongren, the strategy will be ineffective. In short, Ma Touqing can't kill me, otherwise, Shan Yu can do it, why send me to Liangzhou? ”

Ma Touqing asked people to read the letter again, and felt that it was very clearly written in it, it was to ask King Liang to kill the foundation as evidence that Liangzhou returned to He Rong, whether it was killed by himself or handed over to the descending army, it was not considered to complete the task.

He refused to hand over the men, but he did not let his soldiers scatter and flee, and still gathered together, and after being broken by the marksman, the others danced swords to cheer him on.

After marching for a while, from morning to night, only ran out of more than 20 miles, far away from Liangzhou, the number of chasing the descendant army did not decrease, but more and more, Ma Touqing sighed, ordered everyone to stop, and let the guide say to Xu Ji: "Lord He Rong let you go, he is watching behind, if the bandit does not kill you, he will shoot an arrow, and he will kill you." ”

Xu Ji bowed his hand to Ma Touqing and said with a smile: "Thank you for escorting you all the way." Then he rode a horse with Chang Yanzhi and slowly galloped towards the Descendant Army

Chang Yan was uneasy, "Childe, the army of the world...... If you don't meet up, you can do it, right? ”

"If the army doesn't do it, Ma Touqing will shoot arrows, you can see his archery skills, nine out of ten are stable."

"What to do? I'm in the way of Childe......"

"Not necessarily." Xu Jile stopped and glanced back, less than a stone's throw away from Ma Touqing, "Let's wait here." ”

"When the first group of descendant troops attacked the camp, they killed people when they saw them." Chang Yanzhi muttered.

The descending army gradually approached, and Xu Ji said, "Tell them my identity." ”

Chang Yanzhi whimpered, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Xu Ji Xu Gongzi is here, you ...... Come here! ”

Hearing the shouts, the Descendant Army stopped, suddenly cheered in unison, and galloped forward, brandishing swords and guns in their hands, and it seemed that everyone wanted to cut the first one.

Ma Touqing, who had watched this scene with his bow, released his bowstring and led his men to gallop away, and there were some enemies in the rear, and if they did not escape, they would be encircled.

The Descending Army was more afraid of He Rongren, and was unwilling to fight with them, so they gave up a trap and pounced on Xu Ji.

In an instant, Xu Ji and Chang Yanzhi were surrounded by groups, sharp knives and spears flying in the air, and the nearest one almost passed by.

But no one really stabbed him, not because he didn't want to, but because he was frequently stopped.

When there is only one army of the world, it is very simple to kill people, but several of the army of the world want you to fight for me, but no one can move, quarrel with each other, and they have to take the credit into their own hands.

Chang Yanzhi held his breath for a while, then slowly spit it out, and whispered, "How long will they fight?" ”

"It is estimated that the 'Heavenly King' will come later." Xu Ji also whispered, in the face of a large group of reckless men competing for merit, his persuasion skills were useless, so he could only watch silently.

He guessed correctly, and it didn't take long for someone to shout loudly and order the soldiers to give way, and there was really a "Heavenly King" who arrived, not one, but three.

There are many "Heavenly Kings" in the Descending Army, there are eight famous ones, and one of them is swallowed in one go, and after getting his letter, three "Heavenly Kings" came in advance, and a few were on the way.

The "Heavenly King" was so imposing that he separated the crowd as soon as he came, ordering them to shut up, but some people were not convinced, shouting "first come, first served", and before they could finish speaking, they were frightened by many eyes and shut up.

There is no clear command of the Incarnation, but it is certain that the small leaders are afraid of the big leaders.

A short and sturdy "Heavenly King" spoke first, he held a long lance in his hand, and every time he spoke, he must first raise his weapon high, as if reminding God to listen, "The first to arrive will be rewarded, and the matter of killing Xu Ji and fighting for the big leader has nothing to do with you, and those who are not convinced should stand up now to see if you have been a small leader in advance." ”

No one dared to squeak anymore, but no one retreated, hoping that "the first to be rewarded".

The Stout Heavenly King said to the other two, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it. ”

The yellow-faced Heavenly King said: "Don't worry, confirm the identity of this person." ”

Another black-faced king also said: "Yes, everyone doesn't know Xu Ji, don't kill the wrong person and make the world laugh." ”

So many eyes looked at the white-faced scholar, and no one was wrong about the target.

Xu Ji arched his hand and smiled: "I am indeed Xu Ji, I didn't ask what the three heroes are called?" ”

The Short Stout Heavenly King said: "You don't care about our name, you say that you are Xu Ji, come up with evidence." ”

"It's simple, you find an old army leader who has seen me in the Eastern Capital, and you can see the truth at a glance."

The three heavenly kings, you look at me, I look at you, obviously no one has the leader of the old army among their subordinates.

"Didn't the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King win over a group of old troops? There must be someone there who recognizes Xu Ji's authenticity. The yellow-faced Heavenly King said.

"Just one Xu Ji, the three of us are not enough, the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King will definitely fight." The Stocky Heavenly King said.

The three heavenly kings began to discuss, but they didn't come up with a good solution for a long time.

Xu Ji listened for a while and said, "I'll give you some ideas." ”

The Sturdy Heavenly King said casually, "What's the idea?" ”

Xu Ji smiled, although the other party was a new army, he felt both cordial and familiar, and he had something to say.
