Li Rijing raised his axe, cut a piece of wood in half, and then piled the chopped firewood on the wooden pile. I stepped back two times, looked at the pyre that was piled higher than the wall, turned back to the wooden house and shouted, "Dad, the firewood here is enough for you to burn for half a year!" Wiping his sweat, he walked to the room, "The water tank is also full, and the rice tank is also full." ”

Old man Li: "Hehe, come, good son, come in and finish tea." The old man looked at Li Rijing and was happy, although this son was only eighteen years old, he had grown all over his body, with strong muscles and a majestic body, a bronze complexion, well-defined facial features, and deep eyes. It's not like when I was very thin when I was younger.

Li Rijing walked into the room, took the porcelain bowl and drank it all, then picked up the small stool and sat down: "Dad, my son will go out with General Zuo in a few days, and there are some copper coins in the cabinet, which are enough for you to use." ”

Old man Li: "Son, you don't know how long you will be fighting, take care of yourself outside!" ”

Li Rijing was about to speak, when a voice came from outside, "Brother Li, it's time to go, the brothers are waiting for you!" Li Rijing opened the door and saw Fang Xu, Chang Haoxue, Meng Erdu, and Wang Gou'er waiting for him with their luggage.

Li Rijing picked up the wrapped luggage and said as he walked: "Dad, my son is leaving, you take care of yourself!" Old man Li hurriedly chased after him: "Son, be careful when fighting, listen to the words of the chief!" Two silly, you guys take care of Hii! ”

Meng Erdu: "Old man Li, don't worry, with a few of us here, your son can't be lost!" ”

As soon as Li Rijing and the others were about to leave the village, they saw a touch of red glow rushing towards them, and Fang Xu and the others immediately stood aside with obscene expressions. Li Rijing turned around and saw Ling Hongyue slim, her cheeks crimson, and her eyes looked at him reluctantly.

Li Rijing: "Hongyue, I'm going to war, I'll come back after the war to marry you!" ”

Ling Hongyue: "You have to come back quickly, my father wants to marry me to someone else." ”

"Don't worry, when I finish the battle, I will come back and propose to your father."

"Bad guy, who wants you to propose." Ling Hongyue twisted the corners of her skirt. Fang Xu, who was eavesdropping on the side, laughed a few times, and was so ashamed that Ling Hongyue turned her head and ran, just ran not far away, but stopped again, turned to Li Rijing and said, "Brother Li, you have to be careful!" ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll be fine. Maybe I'll be a centurion when I come back. ”

Ling Hongyue smiled, turned around and ran away.

Li Rijing and others continued on the road. With nothing to do, Fang Xu asked Chang Haoxue: "Haoxue, you went to war, what about your father's private school?" ”

Chang Haoxue: "It's okay, my father said, I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar." The eldest husband should cast a pen to make a name for himself on the battlefield. ”

Meng Erdu: "You're fine, my father is old, and my younger brothers haven't grown up yet." I'm gone, and no one is doing the farm work at home? ”

Wang Gou'er: "Second fool, don't talk about this." The court opened a favor this time, and paid half a year's salary in advance, your family can do it. It's like my dad, who gambles every day, and the copper money I gave me doesn't know enough for him to gamble for a few days. ”

Fang Xu: "It's okay, everyone is a brother." I told my dad that he would take care of your parents. ”

After saying this, Meng Er's stupid brows soothed, and he said: "Let's go, Heyin County is dozens of miles away from Jingshi!"

The camp in the west of the city. One of the lieutenants ordered the drums to beat and gather the troops. The commanders of the various armies took their men to the quartermaster's office to receive weapons and equipment. Li Rijing and others belonged to the fourth capital of the Ma Army, and after hearing the assembly order, several people sorted out their weapons and armor, moved out of their horses, and went to the military camp in the west of the city.

The military camp in the west of the city was built very spacious, because it was used for daily sergeant training and to cope with the military parade of the consuls, so it could accommodate more than 100,000 troops here.

On the high platform of the school field, many high-ranking officers of the Central Forbidden Army are listed here. Yate picked up the tea, wiped the tea leaves with the lid of the teacup, took a sip, and then nodded to Feng Ruyu, the general of the left.

The wind is like jade, stand up, take a few steps forward, and walk to the front of the stage. Today, the wind is like jade, white clothes and white armor are graceful, wearing a silver ring lock armor, a five-foot long sword at the waist, and the end is an excellent demeanor.

Feng Ruyu looked at the elite of the 100,000 forbidden army and didn't have too much expression, as if all this had nothing to do with him. After looking at it for a while, as if there were thousands of hearts in his heart, he slowly raised the token with his left hand: "Out ~~ soldiers!" ”

In an instant, the two heralds on the left and right waved the banner and shouted: "Send out the troops~~Send the troops~~~Send the troops~~" and then the two columns of forty tiger skin drums were beaten by the drummers, and the king entered the battle music, and the sound shook the sky. The 100,000 soldiers of the forbidden army marched in orderly steps, with the horse army in front, the chariot soldiers second, and the infantry in the last order to the west.

At this time, the capital of Nanshan Prefecture has been surrounded by the rebel regiments of Xihai Prefecture, and it is in danger. The governor was in a hurry. Although there were as many as 30,000 forbidden troops in Nanshan Prefecture, 10,000 more than Xihai Prefecture, Xihai Prefecture was in a hurry and was defeated before it could react. Sishui Pass, a fortress west of Nanshan Prefecture, was installed by Zhou Tianshuo and was breached in less than three days. A few days ago, Yan He sent soldiers from Liangdu to resist for a while, but the Liangdu forbidden army surrendered to the rebels after going out. It was only later that I learned that these two chiefs were friends of Zhou Tianshuo. As a result, the rebels surrounded the state capital and attacked day by day, and the people in the city were panicked, and the soldiers were outnumbered, and it was also the rhythm of the fall soon.

At this time, Feng Ruyu slowly marched towards the capital of Nanshan Prefecture with 100,000 elite forbidden troops, and did not think at all that the friendly army was in danger and wanted to support quickly. The reason is also very reasonable, saying that Feng Zhengyi, who had to bear the half-moon military supply, claimed to have lost this to Ouyang Hui when he gambled with him, and then saw that he couldn't get over, so he paid some grain and grass. As for the complete absence of supplies of weapons and equipment. That is to say, if someone accidentally breaks it and loses the equipment, they will not have to change it for at least half a month, and the bow and arrow will shoot one arrow and one arrow less. When he stayed thirty miles away from the Nanshan Prefecture Capital, he actually met Yan He and fled with a group of defeated soldiers.

It turned out that Yan He didn't see reinforcements coming in the state capital, and when he was thinking about whether to break through and escape, the city had been broken by the Western Navy. In an instant, you don't have to think about what is to hold on to help or save the living force, it is directly the wind blowing.

And after listening to the nonsense of how Xihai Prefecture was wasted and how powerful Nanshan Prefecture was because of Yan He's blowing for a long time, it seemed that the whole army of Xihai Prefecture was annihilated because he was outnumbered, it seemed that the tiger was threatening, and ordered the first, second, third, and fourth Ma troops to quickly occupy favorable terrain and prepare to engage the rebels.

As a result, when the two armies met, the officers of the Central Forbidden Army discovered that the strength of the rebels in the West Sea was far more than the six capitals of the West Sea. At first glance, it looks almost 100,000. Immediately there was an urge to ask for reinforcements.

Zhou Tianshuo rode a big black horse, stood on a hill, and looked at the entire battlefield proudly. When the Western Navy led by himself came out of the state, there were only more than 40,000 people, but fortunately, the strict nuclear power in Nanshan Prefecture was too wasteful, and the soldiers and soldiers not only did not decrease, but also accepted a large number of surrendered Nanshan Prefecture forbidden troops. Now there are about 70,000 troops under the other Nanshan Prefecture garrisons that have surrendered, and they are known as 100,000 troops to the outside world. The morale is high, the swords and armor are scorching, and they are all generals who can recruit and fight habitually, although there is a gap between them and the strength of the forbidden army that came to crusade, but they can completely make up for it.

I saw the herald flags fluttering in front and back on both sides; The heralds rode their horses to and fro to give orders; The crossbowmen prepared their longbows and crossbows to aim at the enemy; In the woods near the battlefield, the scouts on both sides tested each other and fought each other. In front of the battle line, the spearmen of the Central Forbidden Army hid behind their shields, clutching their spears tightly with both hands, looking nervously at the opposite side; In the Western Navy, the cavalry took the lead, and the horses neighed and snorted restlessly, unable to suppress their violent temper, and kept trying to rush forward.

The fourth horse army of Li Rijing and others was lined up on the left flank of the forbidden army, and all five of them were on the battlefield for the first time, holding their spears nervously, as if their palms were sweaty, and they could never wipe them clean. The centurion shouted at the front of the line: "When you receive the order, don't think about anything else, follow me, I will charge you if you let you charge, and if you retreat, you will retreat immediately." Don't be nervous, we are nervous and nervous on the other side, they are all people, and the Western Navy does not have three heads and six arms! ”

I only heard the sudden drumming of the Western Navy, and more than ten big red flags flew left and right, and then pointed forward. Thousands of horses of the Western Navy felt the reins loosen, and they charged towards the forbidden army in unison. In the central forbidden army array here, I only heard more than a dozen heralds shouting one after another: "The left flank horse army is attacking forward!" ”

Li Rijing and the others perked up and looked ahead. When he saw the centurion spear unfurled, he shouted, "Rush with me!" The cavalry shouted, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Rush forward. As a result, they rushed out of the foot of the mountain and immediately went to the right flank of the Western Navy, where thousands of crossbowmen appeared. Before he could react, he saw bows and arrows flying sideways like heavy rain. The centurion, who was at the front, was shot away by an arrow, striking the hooves of the cavalry behind, staring at the sky and dying without being able to say his last words.
