The busy scene in Qingtu County lasted for an hour and a half, at this time, there was an arrow in the woods in front of him and rushed high into the sky, Hao Zhao took a deep breath when he saw this, it was the message of the Flying Bear Army, the enemy army is coming, from the retreat to the comeback Jingnan Army only left him less than two hours of time, it must have been premeditated, but these times were also expected for him, although he could not completely build a position, but the defense line had been strengthened.

"The engineer battalion retreats, each team is in its place, the next step is to look at us, looking at the posture of the enemy army, I can't say that we have to play a night battle with us, hum, when it comes to this, my Tiger Guards are their ancestors, and they are all armed for war!" Hao Zhao looked at the direction in which the arrow was rising and sneered before ordering, it was already close to dusk at this time, generally speaking, the method of night fighting in siege warfare would greatly increase the casualties of the siege soldiers, but since the enemy chose this way, it also showed the determination of the opponent's generals, and the next step was to compare who was harder, and the tiger guards had never been afraid of this.

"No!" Captain Sima received orders one after another, Qingtu County has been subdivided into six defensive areas by Hao Zhao before, and the personnel have been arranged, Hao Zhao is here to design a strategy according to the two days of steady defense, General Zhang will definitely not let him wait for more than two days, that is to say, within two days, the defenders of Qingtu County will use all tactics to drag the enemy, even if it is a street battle to the last person!

The soldiers have put their helmets and armor into the position with their leaders, and the engineer battalion on the position of the east gate of Qingtu has withdrawn into the city, and the crossbowmen have climbed the high platform to wait for them, for these veterans of the Tiger Guard, they can smell the smell of the enemy army and perceive how many people there are without listening to the footsteps that are gradually approaching, and the enemy troops in the distance are no less than 20,000, which is not clear or intelligible, but it is the intuition of the veterans! At this time, when you look at the faces of those soldiers, they are all calm and a little excited, without the slightest hint of fear.

"Brothers, win the first battle, and when the crossbowmen have suppressed the enemy, we will rush forward and slaughter them." Situ Lie, the chief officer of the East Gate, is inspecting the position for the last time, and the twenty-five-year-old captain is also extremely young in the Tiger Guard Army, but looking at the obedience of the soldiers to him, he knows that this person has a very high prestige, not only has a convincing military exploit but also has a great background, which is a legendary one in the Han army, and His Majesty is named "Zhang Eighteen Shi".

"No, no, what's the use of having a lot of people, it depends on who is more ruthless in hand-to-hand combat, you guys must remember to use all the strength of feeding later, and your hands won't tremble if you kill a few enemy soldiers." Several chiefs said to the few recruits under him at the same time as Situ Lie.

The enemy army is overwhelming and attacking the city, and the inferior side has to go out of the city to assault? This was rare in the previous siege battles, but at this time, any captain who had been trained in the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy knew the role of a short assault, which could win enough defensive time for himself by striking the other party, and could boost the morale of the defenders.

This "crazy" word was used by the Kaiyuan Emperor to describe the style of Cao Ying's general Lejin, Qingzhou War I Cao army can save the main force to retreat in addition to the weather, the biggest guarantee is Lejin's Yanzhou battalion, relying on his own and all the soldiers' "crazy" strength Le Wenqian is to block Xu Huang's Longxiang army and Ju Yi Agni army pursuit, afterwards the Han army generals are also quite admired for Lejin, and now Le Wenqian is the deputy commander of the Feiyan Army in the position of Pingnan general!

No one will deny that Le Wenqian is a general, but when it comes to "crazy", if you ask all the Han soldiers, they will only mention one person and will not say Le Jin, who is this person? A small Xuanwu battalion chief, but has no less than the prestige of the generals of the Han army, a thick-backed machete to create the prestige of "a thousand people beheaded", almost every battle is scarred but never fatal, "Zhang 18 who can't be killed", this name is worshiped by many soldiers of the Han army.

After Liu Yi ascended the throne as the emperor, he named Zhang 18 after him, and the soldiers brought out by Zhang 18 were all first-class heroes like him, Situ Lie was one of them, and Zhang He also called him a "madman" in the two battles of Hanzhong and Shuzhong, even in the face of Cao Ying's general Xiahou Yuan's body was still shouted by seven guns, and that ruthlessness made all the soldiers look sideways, so a general Hao Zhao naturally wanted to put him at the most important east gate at this time.

"That's right, you are more ruthless than anyone in hand-to-hand combat, but you also have to be smart, as long as you can kill people, it is a good trick, and now is the time to take it out." Situ Lie walked over and patted the shoulders of those recruits and said, there is everything on the battle formation.

"Captain, the enemy has arrived." At this time, hundreds of paces away in the distance, you can already see that a black oppressive enemy army is arranging a formation, but it is in an orderly and imposing manner, and a large group of enemy troops are interspersed with the north gate of Qingtu County, which is to surround the county seat and attack.

"Hahaha, brothers, the enemy army is here to send meat, and they dare to gnaw at the position of our Tiger Guards, but we want to see how good the rabbit cubs of the Jingnan Army are! Yang Qi, Lao Tzu will sleep for a while to recuperate, and the enemy will call me within a hundred steps. After Situ Lie finished speaking, he casually found a place to lean on and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he still held his thick-backed knife tightly in his right hand.

"Second general?" Seeing that Gan Ning was silent after reading His Majesty's letter, his hands were still trembling slightly, and after everyone waited for a while, Gou Chang boldly asked, This is a unique situation for the second general, and now it is wartime.

"Don't guess, Gan's private matter is just a personal matter, today's battle you take Jiang Xinzhou to increase the prestige of our army, and the next three days the navy is still mainly contained, and there will be news about it when you want to come to the west, Liu Xin, this time I will write it down for you for the time being, if there is such a risk for the future, you will wait to watch the show." Gan Ning came to his senses when he heard this, and began to continue arranging the war after saying a word.

"No." Liu Xin replied very quickly this time, it was enough for him to kill happily today, he really didn't care about military merits or anything, Gan Ning said that he didn't fight snakes with sticks?

Later, the generals also discussed the battle situation, and King Jinghai was business as usual, but Gou Chang and Yan Xing, who were familiar with him, thought of one thing, and there was no other private matter that could make Gan Ning have a gaffe, and when the discussion was over, the generals returned to the camp and the two still did not leave.

"What, waiting for someone to invite you to supper, why don't you go back to rest?" Seeing that the two of them were still not out of the handsome account, Gan Ning couldn't help but ask with a glaring eye.

"Boss, is there any news of Xiaoying?" Gou Chang approached and asked, they were by Gan Ning's side when they were in Jianghaizhuang, and the two of them were also there when Xingba took revenge, what else could be a private matter that could make the boss so nervous today? My sister-in-law's ability is not inferior to that of a man, and who else in Xuzhou is not good for her? The only thing left is the Shen Jiang's sister Xiaoying that the boss thinks about day and night, and he has never given up looking for it.

Xiaoying is the deepest pain in Gan Ning's heart, every time she dreams of the little girl with pigtails sinking into the river Xingba will wake up in the dream, these Liu Yi, Zhao Yun and Wang Xinran all know, Tianer has been tracking down this matter, and Emperor Kaiyuan is in many villages along the Yangtze River in that section of the year have offered a reward to find people, whether it is to find people or to provide clues to find people, there are thousands of taels of gold reward, but things have passed too long until this moment, there are not too many clues.

"Well, the eldest brother sent a letter a few days ago that the people of Jingnan crossed the river to avoid the war, and one of them found the official mansion after seeing Xiangyang's list text, saying that he knew Xiaoying's whereabouts!" At this time, Gan Ning finally nodded, and there was a trace of excellent excitement in his words.

"Really, that's great, I said that Xiaoying must still be alive, what about that person?" Gou Chang and Yan Xing were all overjoyed when they heard it, and Pang Tong Xu Shu on the side was also attracted by it.

"Your Majesty has sent someone to send him, and he should be able to arrive tonight." Gan Ning nodded and said, Liu Yi personally met with this person after learning about it, and after a little talk with him, he ordered Tian'er "Blue Arrow" to personally escort him to Liuhe, which was one of the twelve people in Tian'er, and there was His Majesty's warrant to pass unimpeded, which also shows that Liu Yi attaches great importance to this matter.

"Then we won't leave, it's useless for you to beat our military sticks, boss, the two of us will wait with you, and we will never delay military affairs." Yan Xing immediately answered, and he was also overjoyed at this time.

"I hope you can really find Xiaoying this time, Lao Gou, you can take someone to pick it up along the official road." Gan Ning surprisingly didn't insist anymore, and after saying a word to Gou Chang, he walked out of the tent and came to the high platform, looking far away to the west, with both expectation and apprehension in his expression.

Emperor Kaiyuan promised such a heavy reward, there are also pros and cons, Gan Ning has also received news many times in the past few years, and even found another woman who is not dead in Shenjiang, but it is not a small shadow, his hopes in this matter are too great, so once there is no result, the disappointment will be even greater, even with the bearing of Xingba, he will be apprehensive at this time, but this time Liu Yi is also because the details that the person said are all in line with thirty years ago!

"Oh, I see, it's a very serious matter." Gan Ning nodded to Yan Xing when he left, so the latter also informed Pang Tong and Xu Shu of the details of the matter, Pang Tong heard the words and said, looking at His Majesty's behavior and the unusual performance of the second general, he knew the status of Xiaoying in his heart, and he could also understand Gan Ning's apprehension, but at this time he was still in the middle of the war, I believe that the second general must know the severity, but they must be more dedicated to mastering the battle situation, so that the second general can properly face this matter.
