Duan Ning was arrested, Li Congjing was in a good mood, when he was fighting with Duan Ning in the city before, Ding Hei followed him, with Ding Hei's deep hatred and hatred for Duan Ning, Ding Hei would not admit his mistake. Thinking of this successful blow, Li Congjing did not move on the surface, and his heart blossomed.

Not long after, a group of cavalry entered the city, led by Ding Hei on horseback carrying a man on his back, and came to the city. Li Congjing looked from afar, and saw that the person on Ding Hei's horse was really the bright armor, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Mo Li beside him: "This victory, unexpectedly smooth, is a sign of my hundred battles on the river, rare!" ”

Mo Li also said with a smile: "Duan Ning has been the main general of the 100,000 Liang army for a long time, and if he catches him, not only Li Shaocheng's predicament will be solved, but the Liang army on the river must also be panicked and demoralized. Congratulations! ”

After saying that, the two laughed heartily, and the generals around them were all happy, only feeling that the great merit was in front of them, and the fame was today. Only Guo Wei was slightly unhappy, and regretfully thought: Capturing the enemy and marshal is one of the best books on the battlefield, but he never thought that he would let this newcomer Ding Heizi snatch it. Secretly sighed.

Everyone was happy, but in a few moments, they weren't happy.

Ding Hei twisted the person on the horse and came to Li Congjing, threw the person in front of Li Congjing, hugged his fists and said: "Duan Ning is here, but with the military commander!" All the soldiers looked at him and Duan Ning, who was thrown on the ground trembling and hiding his face with shame, each with a smile on his face, and even looked at this newcomer a lot.

Li Congjing didn't care about Duan Ning, patted Ding Hei's shoulder first, and encouraged him with a few words of relief, "The day before yesterday, I knew that Qing would make contributions to me sooner or later, but I never thought it would come so quickly, Qing is really my lucky general, and I don't know how much credit I have to add in the future!" ”

Ding Hei still has that knife-carved expression, as if he never knows the change, Li Congjing's words are extremely sincere, Ding Hei has no change in expression, it can be seen that he is a person who is moody and invisible, maybe he has not come out of the sadness of the day before yesterday, so he will not be happy. Ding Hei said: "Please check if this person is Duan Ning, if the military commander verifies it, he will cut off his head and pay tribute to Xiaoqing and my dead folks!" ”

Li Congjing no longer pretended, and leaned over to lift Duan Ning, intending to pull him up to see his face.

A little chill comes first.

The change came so suddenly.

At the same time that Li Congjing went to pull Duan Ning, Duan Ning, who had been cowering before, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Li Congjing in the chest with the power of lightning, with a hideous face!

No one would have expected such a change, since Duan Ning had been captured, in front of all the generals and soldiers, how could he dare to challenge Li Congjing? This is something that no one could have imagined! And the two of them are close at hand, Li Congjing went to mention him with a smug smile, it was impossible to be on guard at all! Duan Ning saw the right time, and suddenly made a move at this moment, the action was incredibly fast, and it couldn't give people time to react at all!

Li Congjing didn't expect Duan Ning to get to this point, he would even want to kill himself, and he didn't expect that he still had a sharp blade hidden in his body, when Duan Ning made a move, he didn't even complete the change in his expression, his stunned and unexpected eyes were only half revealed, and the tip of Duan Ning's knife touched his breastplate!

Everyone in the room was surprised, and they didn't have time to respond, including Li Congjing himself. Mo Li claims to have no last resort, and he can't predict the current changes!

There was one exception.

When Duan Ning made his move, he also made a move while watching Duan Ning.

When the tip of Duan Ning's dagger had already touched Li Congjing's breastplate, his foot kicked Duan Ning's shoulder, and before the dagger could pierce the breastplate, he kicked Duan Ning to the ground!

Ding Hei. This is a swordsman with extraordinary skills. His knife is exceptionally fast, so his eyes are exceptionally sharp! What's more, his movements keep up with his eyes!

After Ding Hei kicked over, there was already an unsheathed long knife in his hand, which was placed on Duan Ning's neck before he had time to get up, and his eyes were cold.

"Big thief!" Lin Ying roared, his eyes were split, he took a step, followed by Ding Hei's knife, and slashed at Duan Ning's neck, cutting off his head!

He was originally born in Li Congjing's pro-army, but now someone almost killed Li Congjing in front of him, he was full of remorse, and shot in anger, how could he have half a penny, and cut it down with a knife, and after cutting off Duan Ning's neck, the blade cut directly into the masonry and stone, and entered the stone for three points.

One blow took Duan Ning's life, Lin Ying abandoned the knife, knelt down violently, bowed down in front of Li Congjing, and cried: "The last general is not well guarded, please take off the head of the last general, and use the military law to correct the law!" ”

Everyone knelt down and bowed, and said in unison: "We are not well guarded, please punish the commander!" "At the head of the city, a large area fell on its knees. Ding Hei also knelt down.

Mo Li's face was pale, his eyes were empty, he was distracted, his hands trembled slightly, and he didn't even notice that the folding fan had fallen to the ground, and he barely glanced at Li Congjing at this time. Although he is not a martial artist, but the thrill of Fang Cai, Li Congjing's death was only in an instant, he can't imagine the consequences if Duan Ning succeeds!

Li Congjing had already returned to his normal appearance, and in the face of the pleas of the soldiers, he turned a deaf ear, walked in front of Duan Ning, picked up Duan Ning's bloody head, and looked at it carefully.

At the end, Li Congjing said, "This person is not Duan Ning. Although he tried his best to restrain his emotions, he still said this sentence with a murderous spirit.

"What?!" All the soldiers were not shocked.

Immediately, a hundred and ten murderous gazes shot at Ding Hei, who was kneeling down. Lin Ying got up in a rage, pulled out a horizontal knife inlaid in the masonry, and went straight at Ding Hei, "Ding Hei, you actually brought a killer to meet the military marshal?!" ”

The soldiers who are now following Li Congjing's side are Li Congjing's personal guards, and they have also seen Ding Hei's skills when he killed Liang Jun the day before yesterday, at this time, Lin Ying pulled out his knife and roared, and immediately pulled out his sword out of the sheath and surrounded Ding Hei in the middle, all of them looked bad. Lin Xiong was even more protective in front of Li Congjing.

In the light of the sword, Ding Hei was still half-kneeling, and he didn't make any movements, silent as a solid stone, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.

Li Congjing pushed Lin Xiong away, took two steps forward, and walked in front of Ding Hei.

Ding Hei raised his head and looked directly at Li Congjing.

That gaze turned out to be extraordinarily calm and calm, without the slightest wave.

"Put all the knives away!" Li Congjing said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for Ding Hei's rescue, Ben Shuai would have died a long time ago, and Ding Heiyan would have harmed me?" What do you want to do by pointing your swords at the man who saved me?! ”

When the people heard this, they immediately relented.

Mo Li was silent on the side.

Lin Ying was still unwilling, and said, "But the prisoner was captured by him!" ”

Li Congjing said coldly: "Ben Shuai has long said that if Duan Ning escapes, he will definitely make people pretend to be himself. This person's figure and appearance are similar to Duan Ning, and he is wearing the armor that Duan Ning wore before, how can Ding Hei tell it? Put away the knives for Ben Shuai! ”

Everyone put away the knife at this time, and some people showed apologies to Ding Hei, but Lin Ying didn't, guarding the boss is a heavy responsibility, even if he blames someone, he won't feel anything.

picked up Ding Hei, comforted him, and signaled him not to worry about the matter of Fang Cai. The corners of Ding Hei's mouth moved, and after all, he didn't say anything, just silently clenched his fists.

"Brother Li, Duan Ning has escaped, and now he can't catch up, what can I do?" Mo Li asked at this time.

Li Congjing let out a long breath, "Everyone has good luck, Duan Ning can be the chief general of the 100,000 Liang Army, it can be seen that his potential luck is not small, this time he escaped by luck, and his luck is not over." No wonder the soldiers. After calming the hearts of the army, Li Congjing continued: "This time, I wanted to capture Duan Ning and win this battle once and for all, but now there is no need to mention this matter, since this is the case, then face the Liang army in a dignified manner!" Duan Ning has fled, the Liang army has no handsome, can Ben Shuai still win against them? ”

"This commander's order: all the gentlemen should assemble immediately, abandon Xinxiang, and immediately gallop west to support the main force of the army!"

……………………………

Thirty miles east of Xinxiang, in a dense forest.

Two or three hundred Liang cavalry gathered here. These Liang Riders looked a little embarrassed, and their expressions were a little depressed, and they dismounted and gathered in groups of three or five, muttering something in a low voice. They fled all the way from Xinxiang City to here, and then there were gentlemen chasing the soldiers, and Zhang Huang was overwhelmed, but fortunately, the gentlemen have now withdrawn back, so they have the opportunity to stop and rest for a while.

In the place where the crowd was relatively concentrated, there was a man in ordinary soldiers' clothes, his hair was slightly disheveled, and there was still a look of fear in his eyes, and beside him, there was a man in a brocade robe, looking west. These two people, the former is Duan Ning, and the latter is the "Mr. Cui".

"I really can't imagine that Li Congjing's guy would quietly appear outside Xinxiang City, and I don't know how he came over, causing Ben Shuai to almost lose his life in Xinxiang, it's really unlucky!" Duan Ning cursed a few words in annoyance, glanced at Cui Yifu, who was looking at the west, and snorted coldly, "Didn't Mr. say that all of your subordinates are elite killers, and they are all famous in the rivers and lakes, and when you come back to the river, you have already controlled those dishes in Li Congjing's military intelligence department?" What's going on now, Li Congjing appeared under our noses, and no one found out! ”

Cui Yifu couldn't say anything, so he simply didn't make an excuse, but talked about the current matter, and said: "If Fang Cai hadn't come forward and stopped the black-clothed swordsman, would General Duan still be here to mock him?" ”

Duan Ning was suddenly dumbfounded. Just now they fled all the way east, the gentlemen were chasing after them, and suddenly a black-clothed swordsman rushed out from the side of the road, raised his knife and killed Duan Ning, Duan Ning and his guards were fleeing in a panic, no one expected that such a killing god would jump out of the roadside, and the swordsman was really powerful, one was caught off guard, Duan Ning's guards were killed several people in a row, and the swordsman put the knife on Duan Ning's neck. At that time, it was Cui Yifu who appeared and stopped the black-clothed swordsman's behavior.

The black-clothed swordsman seemed to recognize Cui Yifu, so he really stopped talking, and was pulled aside by Cui Yifu and whispered for a long time, and finally the swordsman somehow gave up his plan to kill Duan Ning. At the end, Cui Yifu pulled out the person who had been prepared long ago and pretended to be Duan Ning, explained it, and asked the black-clothed swordsman to take it back.

This series of events, from the sudden appearance of the black-clothed swordsman and the knife holder to his neck, to Cui Yifu's scolding, the black-clothed swordsman stopped starting, and finally the black-clothed swordsman left with a fake self, Duan Ning was really confused by the second monk.

In any case, Duan Ning was very angry when he was kicked by Li Congjing, but he picked up a life in Li Congjing's hands, and Duan Ning was very glad that under the mixture of these two contradictory moods, Duan Ning's heart was really not a taste.

After resting here for a long time, Cui Yifu sighed and said, "There is no big movement in Xinxiang City, and it seems that it has not succeeded. "Regret.

Duan Ning was inexplicable, pulled Cui Yifu and asked for a long time, and Cui Yifu finally told Duan Ning about the twists and turns. Duan Ning listened, he was stunned, and his mouth didn't close for a long time. In the end, Duan Ning was also silent.

After nightfall, the news that the gentlemen were all evacuated from Xinxiang City and headed west reached Duan Ning, and Cui Yifu advised him: "Now that Li Congjing is going west, it must be to deal with the 30,000 troops under General Duan, and General Duan should rush over as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Duan Ning thought for a moment and shook his head decisively, "Li Congjing is in front, we don't have many people, if we are discovered by Li Congjing in the past, wouldn't it be sent to someone to drink?" Can't go! ”

"But there is an army of 30,000 under General Duan in the west, who is fighting with the Hundred Battles Army, does General Duan want to give up his own rights?" Cui Yifu was a little angry.

Duan Ning sighed, and said earnestly: "As the main general, the sudden attack has already worried the soldiers in front, but now that the commander is safe, the soldiers in front must be able to face the enemy safely, Li Congjing's fight is very cunning, if I get up now and be captured by his design, it will harm the 30,000 troops on the front line, and this is not to be done." ”

………………………………

"Li Shaocheng is now stationed in Qucheng, and yesterday, 30,000 Liang troops appeared outside Qucheng and surrounded the city. The latest battle report is that Li Shaocheng fought several battles with the Liang army yesterday and today, and each had injuries. Li Shaocheng left Peng Zushan to guard the city, and he took Meng Ping to garrison outside the city. ”

Starting from Xinxiang City, the gentlemen returned to the division overnight, and finally arrived at the place where the main force of the Hundred Battles Army was stationed at dusk the next day.

Qucheng is not big, located at the junction of Tang and Liang, and often changes hands. When the Liang army attacked north, Qucheng became Liangcheng, and when the Tang army went south, Qucheng became Tang City. This time, the Hundred Battles Army came east, and Qucheng came to Li Congjing's hands again. In such a place of four battles, it is not a fortress, and the city defense is naturally not how strong, Li Shaocheng stationed all the elite of the Hundred Battles Army outside the city and fought with the Liang army, which is undoubtedly a correct choice.

From Li Congjing said that looking at the past in Shanbao, it can be seen that Qucheng is like a plate, and there is a camp outside the city, which is where the Hundred Battles Army is located. Outside, it is the camp of the Liang army that is connected together, the military tent is like a star, the watchtower is like a halberd, it is majestic and magnificent, and it is full of the atmosphere of slaughter. At this time, in the open space in front of the camps of the two sides, there were two military formations. The military array is composed of countless small phalanxes and forms a large matrix, like an iron python.

The Liang army besieged the city, although the military force layout was emphasized, but the military strength in a single direction was not much more than Li Shaocheng's, at this time, in front of the two strict military formations, was a fierce battle on the battlefield, the two sides were fighting in one place, although Li Congjing was a little far away from the place of battle, but the voice of Jin Ge Iron Horse could be faintly heard.

"Looking at the battlefield situation, the situation between the two sides is still between winning and losing. Now fighting fiercely with the Liang army outside the city is the elite infantry army led by Meng Ping. After Guo Wei saw the battlefield situation clearly, he asked Li Congjing, "Marshal, how do we act?" ”

Li Congjing didn't answer immediately, now that the weather is getting hotter, everyone is already sweating in the sun, so you can imagine how hot the soldiers on both sides are under the armor, I am afraid that sweat and blood are mixed together, and they can't tell each other.

He asked Guo Wei: "Tell me, what should we do?" ”

Although Guo Wei has not followed Li Congjing for a long time, he is not a soldier who does not know soldiers, he has been in the army for almost a year, he is highly talented, and he is studious.

Guo Wei said slowly in a deep voice: "At present, we have just arrived here, and the advantage is that we are surprised, so surprise attacks are available." But after a long journey, the soldiers were a little tired, so it was better to wait until night and attack the camp of the Liang army. Now that the Liang army is blocking the passage, we can't get in touch with Li Shaocheng and General Meng Ping, but if we attack the camp at night, they will definitely cooperate, and this tacit understanding should not be worried. If so, there is a lot to be done. ”

This is the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people, ordinary people can do their own things well, how can they think too much about other problems, and people who have always wanted to go to a higher place will think about the problems that people in high positions will think. What determines a man's future is often his vision and heart.

Li Congjing agreed with Guo Wei's opinion, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then do it." Ordered to go down, all the soldiers hurried to rest, and when the time came, they attacked the camp of the Liang army at night! ”

In the current situation, there is no need for much other planning for the army to act, because there are not many options available, and the Liang army does not know that there is a cavalry team of 3,000 people, and it has already left the main force of the Hundred Battles Army, and went behind them and kicked their main general's ass, and now he is behind them again, ready to kick their ass. Therefore, Guo Wei's strategy is practical and feasible, and it is the most direct and effective. As for how much success can be achieved, it depends on the specific actions.

Li Congjing left the mountain bag with a group of people, returned to the hidden place of the gentleman's capital, and began to recuperate. Recharge your batteries.

It was getting late, and at dusk, the soldiers who stayed on the high ground to continue to monitor the Qucheng battlefield came back to report to Li Congjing that the two sides had stopped fighting.

On the eve of the child, Li Congjing wiped the horizontal knife in his hand while keeping an eye on Ding Hei.

Ding Hei was also wiping his knife. He has a lot of knives, and it's more troublesome to wipe. But to kill people, it is much more profitable.

When he was a child, Li Congjing stepped on the war horse, took the gentleman, like a sharp arrow off the string, and went straight to the camp of the Liang army.
