Chapter 14: The Battle of the Fatal Enemy (I)
In the middle of the hall sat an old man with gray hair, not angry but mighty, his temples bulging high, he was Geng Feng, the master of the Tianluo Palace, fifty-six years old this year, and he was a swordsman with superb martial arts. Tianluo Gong was the highest nine layers, and he learned six layers.
He sat in his seat with his eyes closed, quietly listening to everyone's discussion in the hall, and slowly opened his eyes after a long time.
"Okay, let's stop talking, I just listened to your ideas, among them, Geng'er's suggestions are more feasible, you all listen carefully, Geng'er, you tell everyone your thoughts again."
Geng Er in the old man's mouth is Geng Feng's grandson, Geng Liqiu, who is just nineteen years old this year, has practiced Tianluo Gong since he was a child, don't look at his age, but he has already practiced to the fifth layer, he also likes to read military books, and he is a genius of Tianluodian's generation.
Geng Liqiu is handsome and burly, and has some prestige in the previous generation.
Hearing that grandpa let himself speak, he stood up, bowed to the elders and said: "Elders, I am young, and what I say is what I think, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me, and I hope to be able to get everyone's criticism and correction." Since the uprising of Tianluo Palace, it has developed rapidly, and the army of the Night Dynasty that came before was defeated under the command of the elders, and only then did it have the foundation of Qingyuan Prefecture and Hezhong Mansion. But now the Tiger Battalion sent by the Night Dynasty cannot be underestimated, they are a team as terrible as the Night Dynasty Iron Cavalry, especially their commander Shutu, this person has the courage to be invincible, according to this person's combat style, I guess he will attack my Qingyuan Prefecture first, and then lead the Hezhong Mansion to send troops, and let the Tiger Battalion snipe. What we need to consider now is: first, how to resist the attack of the night army on the state capital, and second, who will lead the team to meet the Tiger Battalion. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at his grandfather, and when he saw the old man's relieved gaze, he was happy in his heart, knowing that his grandfather wanted him to use the war to establish his prestige.
"Okay, Geng'er is right, Shutu is a rather conceited person, he will definitely come to attack my Qingyuanzhou, although we expect his intentions, there is no good way to deal with it, the main thing is that the tiger battalion is full of fierce beasts, and ordinary war horses can't get close at all, and the tiger battalion is brave and fierce, and it can't be defeated."
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed heavily, and everyone in the hall also looked at each other, whispering, talking about the candidates, and at this moment Geng Liqiu shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I am willing to lead the troops to fight." ”
When a middle-aged man heard this, his face turned white, and he hurriedly grabbed Geng Liqiu and whispered: "Geng'er, what are you talking about, although you have practiced Tianluo Gong to the fifth layer, you are also in the mouth of a tiger in the face of the Tiger Battalion." This person is his father Geng Fenghua.
Geng Feng also froze, he just wanted his grandson to show it, just say the enemy's combat intentions, as his favorite grandson, he didn't want him to take risks, and was about to let him give up.
Geng Liqiu saw his grandfather's move, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I am not a reckless person, the main thing is that the army is about to attack now, to put it mildly, now Tianluo Palace can only send the enemy to meet the enemy Grandpa and me, you also need to sit in command at the headquarters, the right person is only me, and I have a way to deal with it, just ask grandpa to give me one person, then I will be sure." ”
"Oh, who do you need?"
"Geng Sirong!"
The hall was silent for a few minutes, and then everyone thought it was incredible.
"Geng'er is crazy, he actually wants this person."
"No, no, you can't let him out."
"That person is a demon, you can't use it."
Geng Liqiu looked straight at his grandfather, and the old man in the hall also looked at this grandson, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Geng'er, it's too risky to do this, are you sure you want to do this?" ”
"Grandpa, I'm sure."
"Okay, I promise you."
The Geng Sirong in their mouth is Geng Liqiu's cousin, one year younger than him, but this cousin was born as an imbecile, and he still can't speak clearly, maybe God in order to make up for his debts, his talent for martial arts is amazing, Tianluo Gong is the first master of Tianluo Hall when he practices to the seventh layer, and he is born with divine power, and he can tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands.
He belongs to people who have a talent for practicing martial arts, another reason why everyone is afraid of such a person is that he has an extreme personality, often misses and kills people, no one dares to play with him since he was a child, he can kill adults just after learning to walk, all the people in Tianluo Hall avoid him, except for Geng Liqiu, he is very sympathetic to this cousin, occasionally play together, he will also give him some delicious food, and the entire Tianluo Hall will also Geng Liqiu's words, he will listen.
Geng Liqiu saw this cousin in the dungeon, he was very happy to see that he came, although he had an arm-thick iron chain tied to his hands and body, his activities were not affected at all, he ran over and drove the iron chain to make a clanging sound, Geng Liqiu looked at his cousin with some distress, and handed him the food box in his hand.
Geng Sirong was very happy, took the food box and opened it, there was a big elbow in it, he ate it in a few clicks, and he kept it in his mouth, begging to see what his cousin still wanted to eat.
"Sirong, that's all I brought today, but if you promise me one thing, I can take you out to eat."
Hearing that there was still something to eat, he nodded hurriedly, and walked around excitedly, and several chains were almost broken.
This frightened Geng Liqiu, these chains were made of meteoric iron, weighing thousands of catties, he knew his cousin's ability, if he was excited, he might not be able to control it. Whispered to him to calm him down, and then asked the jail to open the chain. When he was taken out of the cell, his eyes couldn't be opened by the dazzling sunlight, and he couldn't remember how long he had been in the dungeon, and he didn't care, where he lived or not, as long as he had something to eat.
Brought him to a side room and asked the chef to bring in all kinds of food, Geng Sirong ate more than 20 dishes and a large wooden barrel of rice before putting down the chopsticks, saying that he was full, and he had not eaten so happily and satisfied since he was born. After eating and drinking, he fell asleep on the bed, Geng Liqiu looked at his cousin who was lying quietly on the bed, and sighed with emotion, this thin and small body actually has so much destructive power, and tomorrow's decisive battle will depend on him, I don't know who is more powerful between him and Shutu?
The night dynasty army and Tianluo Hall were in tension, and Zhang Poxiao, Xunzhou, who was also in Nanzhao County, also led the team to set off, and his goal was Long County, Zhangyun Prefecture.
There are very few defenders in Zhangyun Prefecture now, it can be said that Zhang Poxiao chose the right time for this sortie, avoiding the attention of the two forces of Tianluo Hall and the Night Dynasty, so he easily attacked Long County, retreated when the night Dynasty army came to help, and attacked Guixian, Gou County, and Li County, all of which were victorious.
These victories gave him great prestige in this thousand-strong army, and many young people in several counties took the initiative to defect to him after hearing about Zhang Poxiao's deeds, so that his army quickly increased to 5,000 people, and he returned to Xunzhou with these soldiers and food finances.
On the one hand, this expedition is a test of his ability, on the other hand, it is to understand the real situation of the defense of the states now, and the most important thing is that he heard that the Tianluo Temple and the Night Dynasty are about to go to war, for him this is a golden opportunity, an opportunity to develop his own power, he hurriedly returned to Xunzhou with his troops, found Quan Xingyang, not to ask for merit but to resign.
