"General, the last general is the patrol captain stationed at Majia Pass, and he has come to welcome the general into the pass." Huang Mo clasped his fists with both hands, "The people who are in the middle of the house don't worship, please forgive the general"

"Well, Captain Huang's so-called of course, no courtesy." Liuyu answered, and looked at the scorching sun boredly.

"General Xie"

"It's inconvenient to talk here, so take me and others to talk first. Trouble Captain Huang"

"Whatever the general says, it's the last general's business, please come with me." Huang Mo clamped his legs, the horse raised his head and shook his head, snorted, and slowly turned around and walked towards the Guannai military camp. "Majiaguan, this place is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. It is built in the southwest by the Tempest Mountains, and in the southeast is the Kurosugi Mountain, which looks like two horses in parallel from a distance, hence the name. The pass here is probably a merchant in the past. The main reason is that the local area is too dry for farming. The inhabitants here rely on two wells in the mountains to the south and some food brought from Jixian Town in the east to get water, and there are not many people here, so there are not many soldiers and civilians here. "Well, it's so dry here?" Liuyu suddenly missed the green shade of Xihai Prefecture Mansion, and the kind and hypocritical face of the chief official before leaving. Vice General Guo, who followed, carried the information of Majiashan to Liuyu before he arrived.

"To the west of Majiaguan is a desert that stretches for 800 miles, and there is no water source. The city is not large, it can only accommodate more than 800 people, and the number of soldiers and civilians is about half. Because it is the last foothold to go west to the country of Gla, there are still many merchants in the past, and it seems that the small pass is also quite lively. The garrison of this department collected taxes to support more than 400 soldiers and more than 70 military horses. Where would Liuyu have thought that this was the last time he would listen to this annoying lieutenant general's memorization.

A month ago, the governor of Xihai Prefecture reported that unknown scouts were found in many critical desert passes in the prefecture to investigate the terrain and deploy defenses of the passes. The ruling government of the Jing Dynasty sent the general of the Fu army and the left guard officer of the Xihai Forbidden Army, Liuyu, to take a capital of soldiers to Xihai Prefecture to strengthen the garrison, but the governor Zhou Tianshuo sent this army to inspect the western passes of Xihai Prefecture.

Half a pillar of incense time, to the barracks lecture hall hall.

Liuyu looked at Captain Huang, who was sitting at the bottom wearing a yellow military robe with a serious face, and smiled secretly in his heart. asked, "Captain Huang, I came this time because I heard that there was an unknown scout in Majiaguan, what is the situation?" ”

Huang Mo replied, "My soldiers found horse manure and camel manure many times in the depths of more than ten miles in the Kansai Desert, and several people stole into the barracks at noon a month ago, all in uniform clothes, and were discovered by my subordinates on patrol. ”

"Oh", Liuyu propped his head with his right hand and said diagonally, "Did you catch a live mouth, and based on these two points alone, you would consider it a scout?" ”

"General, the patrol of his subordinates fought with those few people at that time, and it must be the number of scouts. Those people had a little kung fu in their hands, and they didn't fight, and they walked fast, so they didn't catch them. ”

Oh, is it from the country of Gerla?

No, I've seen their scouts too, mostly with scimitars. But those men used daggers, crossbow arrows. ”

Liuyu frowned, dagger? Just as he was about to continue his inquiry, suddenly a shout came from outside the hall, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! The two glanced at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes. The Jing Dynasty and the Gela Kingdom in the west had no military affairs, where did the enemy attack.

Just as he was about to go out to inquire, a small soldier ran in

"General, the enemy army has been found in Guanbei Shili!"

Kantoku? Kanbei is the place where Yangwei Pass is located, it is its own people, how can there be enemy troops there?

"My subordinates don't know, the patrol captain came to report that he found more than 1,000 people, all dressed in yellow clothes and yellow flags, all of them came on horseback and shouted to kill!"

Huang Mo was about to give an order, and suddenly reacted. Take a step forward, shake your hands, and ask the general to command

Liuyu glanced at Huang Mo with a smile, waved his hand, and ordered: "Captain Huang, you quickly gather troops to defend on the city wall, Vice General Guo, you lead the children to cooperate with the garrison to defend"

"Yes, general" Vice General Guo and Huang Mo were ordered to retreat.

"Other generals, come with me"

The north of Majia Pass is an endless plain, and at this time, more than 1,000 cavalry from the north have surrounded the city, led by a strong man with dark yellow armor wrapped in his body. Most of the rest of the cavalry wore yellow robes, but the weapons they carried were varied, including long swords and riding spears used by the people of the Jing Dynasty, scimitars, maces, long sticks, short swords, and so on

I saw that the sturdy man stepped forward and shouted, "The governor of Dezhou ordered, the general of the Fu army, the left guard officer of the Xihai Forbidden Army, Liuyu has no master, and he has raised an army, and now he will send the seventh capital of the Xihai Prefecture Forbidden Army to arrest him, and the rest of the people will not be stopped" After these words, all the generals in Guancheng were shocked, and Captain Huang looked at Liuyu with a nervous look, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife. Because Liuyu did not show the talisman when he came to come, the man's words made Huang Mo believe five points.

Liuyu looked like an old god was there, and looked at Huang Mo mockingly. "You go and ask him who he is, there are only six forbidden troops in Xihai Prefecture, each of which has three thousand people, how did he come to be the seventh, and the number is not right?"

Vice General Guo, who was standing next to him, was worried in his heart, because he had to inspect the passes in the western part of the state, so he divided his men into seven divisions and went to other passes. There were only about 400 men who came with him to this pass, and there were not many cavalry. There may be more than enough to defend the city, and the field battle is enough. I complained in my heart that the Lord would "let you be lazy, let you be lazy, I originally went one by one, and I was not afraid of this situation." It is necessary to break up the troops. It's good now. How can you walk surrounded by so many cavalry! ”

Huang Mo was a guard in the end, calmed his nerves, and shouted outside the pass, "You turtle grandson, where did you come from the seventh capital." Even a thousand people are embarrassed to call themselves one?! ”

The strong man laughed, "We were originally righteous warriors in the West Sea Desert, and I was just dark." This time, I was appreciated by the governor of Xihai Prefecture, and it was also because of the ambition of you and other traitors and wolves, so I was recruited to rectify you. Not only our Xihai Desert, but also Cao Qiqi in the Wild Sand Mountains in the south, the One-Eyed Wolf Horse Gang in the north, and all the righteous soldiers in the four prefectures and eighteen counties are already officers and soldiers, and the strength of so many of us is more than enough to integrate into two capitals. General Huang, who knows the times as a handsome man, is not quick to take the head of Liuyu. ”

After the words of this desert giant, not to mention the little Captain Huang, even General Liuyuliu was also restless.

What does Governor Zhou Tianshuo want to do, to co-opt so many bandits. Do you want to rebel? But there are other five capitals, no, the first capital was brought out by him, and he also served as the governor of the second capital, and the general of the third capital was his brother, and the fourth capital was surrounded by Tucheh's troops in the previous northern expedition, and the losses were great. Sixth, the consuls have just been transferred from Beishan Prefecture, and the general in charge is my brother. Not good, there is a danger in leaving copper. Zhou Tianshuo is the person of the general of the forbidden army in the capital, is Zhou Tianshuo acting like this at his behest? Further down, Liuyu didn't dare to think about it

In that case, how is it good for now? Anyway, there are now 400 soldiers who come with Liuyu, and there are about 700 guards on duty in the Guannai. Wild battles, but let's defend it. Liuyu ordered that the whole city be under martial law and wait for help. Adjutant General Guo and Huang Mo hurriedly led the soldiers of each department to distribute weapons and defend in sections.

However, there were still many merchants and civilians in the pass, and one of them, a merchant from the country of Gla, had the courage to climb the stone steps of the city wall, and did not dare to ask Liuyu, so he ran to the side of Captain Huang, "General, villain, please ask when it will be switched." I brought a batch of fine silk brocade to sell to the country of Gera. Huang Mo didn't speak, only looked at Liuyu. Liuyu looked funny, and stepped forward to ask, "Do you want to get out of the customs?" The Gela merchant looked at the big man who knew about Liuyu, and turned to beg, "Yes, yes!" Every minute is money, just after the sandstorm yesterday, today I am ready to hit the road. How do you know that you won't let me go," he said, and came up with his ear, "If the general asks me to wait for the customs to go out, I will be greatly grateful, and the thieves outside the customs and other merchants have their own ways to send them, so please ask the general to make it convenient." ”

After hearing this, Liuyu smiled slightly, "Want to get out?" ”

"I want ~~~ah~~~" The merchant shouted and fell backwards.

I saw that Liuyu had already brushed away the blood stains on Liuyu's sword, and then the knife was put into the sheath. And the Nagra merchant's neck flashed a raised blood line, and then the left and right common carotid arteries ejected blood columns, spilled more than a meter away, and wailed on the ground for a long time, the blood from the neck flowed from the seventh stone staircase of the city wall all the way to the first stone staircase, and then with the convulsions of the merchant's body, the sound of heavy breathing, watching the frightened companions around him slowly die. Liuyu's swordsmanship is that the left and right common carotid arteries have been broken, but the trachea has not been damaged, which shows the speed of the sword move, it seems to be hacked to death by one sword, but it is actually stabbed by two swords, and its accuracy is also unique in Xihaizhou. This trick does not kill a person instantly, but rather makes them wail and struggle for a few minutes, and is used as a warning that intimidating others is really an effective method.

Sure enough, under Liuyu's intimidation, the surrounding merchants turned pale with fright and retreated again and again. Liuyu looked down at these merchants, as if looking at a group of pigs and sheep, "Hmph, who else wants to get out of the customs?" Huang Mozhi's eyes next to him immediately took a step forward, and he raised his voice, "Those who leave the customs are regarded as enemies, and they will not be forgiven!" ”

This group of businessmen is not outlaws, and wherever they have seen this kind of battle, they all bow down to the ground and "obey the general's orders".
