"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of a long trumpet came from far outside the city, "Where is the trumpet?" Kong Youde was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice again: "It's the Qing army outside the city, this is preparing for battle!" ”

This was followed by the rumbling sound of war drums, and everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock. Li Xin glanced at Zhang Shi, who had brought a woman to ask for an explanation, and then looked at the poor woman, and said kindly: "Your grievances will give you an explanation, at this time, the shape is urgent, please don't be impatient!" ”

The woman had come with hope, but when she saw Li Xin say this, her hopes were suddenly disappointed, and she actually had a long sneer.

When he saw the woman's sneer, Li Xin was ashamed for a while, he was by no means shielding his subordinates, but the war was urgent, and he would rather the guy who committed the evil deeds die on the battlefield.

Zhang Shishi suddenly became excited: "Teach Xi, if you don't avenge this woman, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people in our old camp will be scattered!" ”

Kong Youde watched inexplicably on the side, and said in his heart How much effort did I go out for, why did I make such a drama!

Looking at the man in front of him who became very excited in an instant, Li Xin, who was red-faced, suddenly realized where he had made a mistake, most of the people in the old camp were people who were plagued by the Tartars and their families were ruined, how did this woman's experience make them not empathize, and they only thought about how to balance the ideas of all parties, but they didn't know that this contradiction was irreconcilable.

The war drums outside the city rumbled, and the Gaoyang army in the city also encountered unprecedented contradictions because of an accidental incident. Li Xin's mood at this time was very entangled, his two subordinates, whether Lu Jiu or Zhang Shi, were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they had never let him worry about it, and many times as long as he was a little less determined, he would be swayed by their attitude. This kind of thinking about the left and right in his previous life actually made him extremely distressed.

No matter what, he will be decided, but he doesn't want his brother to die in vain.

"You all come with me, and I'll give you a reasonable explanation!"

"Teach!"

"Brother Thirteen!"

Zhang Shi and Lu Jiu spoke at the same time, but the emotions contained were different.

Li Xin sneered: "Priorities, you two should always be able to distinguish between them, now the enemy is sleeping soundly by the pillow, and now there is a movement outside the city, and the enemy situation is unknown, are the fans digging a grave for the Gaoyang army?" Come with me, and I'll give you an explanation! ”

Zhang Shi was stunned, he insisted on avenging the woman, after all, there was a knot in his heart that could not be solved. It is rumored that his daughter-in-law was taken away by the Tartars, but that unbearable and tragic scene is still thrown in a nightmare flash, and how many times he woke up in the middle of the night, he was deeply ashamed of his incompetence and weakness.

Since joining the Gaoyang Army, Zhang Shi swore that he would not allow this tragedy to happen again, until he saw this woman, his fragile nerves were stirred up here, but thanks to Li Xin's reminder, it was not wrong for him to pursue this matter, but the importance of life and death remains to be discussed.

"Miss, please come along, the teacher will give you an explanation, and you won't break your promise!"

The woman did not reply to him because of the stone that she had avenged him, glanced at him, and followed. Zhang Shi rolled his eyes, slightly embarrassed, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

Suning City is a small county town with a radius of only ten miles, from the county government to the west city gate only a moment of effort, a group of people walking on the main street when they bumped into the soldiers who came to report the news.

"Report! The Tartars sent troops? ”

"The Tartars are besieging the city?"

Lu Jiu asked first.

"It's not a siege, it's someone attacking the Tartars!"

This answer stunned everyone, there was actually a Ming army outside the city.

"Quick! Uptown! ”

Then he instructed Zhang Shi, "Go and bring the offending soldier with you!" ”

Neither of these things can be delayed, since he promised to give everyone a reasonable explanation, then he can only make his own choice. When I got to the top of the city, I looked into the distance, and saw that the original snow-white outside the city, trampled by the army and the army of people and animals, was full of muddy black and white colors.

From west to east, a large contingent of people attacked the Qing army like locusts crossing the border. However, due to the small number of armored soldiers and the need to protect goods, the Qing army naturally discharged a standard defensive formation, although on the surface it seemed that the Qing army was at a disadvantage, but they were orderly and did not see any chaos. On the other hand, the attacking side has no rules at all, and it is only a crowd with no difference or level, and although there are many people, only the front line really touches the enemy, and the vast majority of people are crowded behind and do nothing.

Once the front collapses, it will inevitably clash with the crowd in the rear, and the consequences will be unimaginable, but unfortunately they don't know that the danger is like a shadow, quietly coming.

Judging from the current situation, judging from the current situation, this group of people attacking the Qing army will definitely not be the Ming army, at least they should be temporary recruits such as Minzhuang.

"Teach and learn, people have brought it!"

Zhang Shi gasped and lifted the man with all kinds of flowers to the city wall in person.

The woman was obviously stunned by the scene of the battle under the city, a woman had naturally never seen the scene of a fierce battle of a large army. But it is still clear which side has more people and which side has fewer people. I saw her muttering, "Are the Tartars going to be defeated?" Has the revenge been avenged? ”

But before the words fell, I saw that the attacking side, which was originally in the upper hand, suddenly appeared in a commotion, and the attacking men and horses in front began to run around without a clue.

Li Xin sighed, as he expected, but the Qing army was small, at most it was just to defeat and disperse them, and they should not be wiped out. He had a hunch that this Qing army was still less troublesome, and he originally thought that the mysterious figure had already gone first, but he didn't expect to just shoot back and kill back.

It is also this group of "Ming army" who is unlucky, if the person in command is a little mediocre, it is really unknown who wins and who loses.

Zhang Shi explained to the woman on the side: "It's not the Tartars who are defeated, it's the people's army that attacks the Tartars!" ”

He obviously also saw that this group of people was not an official soldier of the Ming Dynasty in terms of clothing and tactics, "impossible, impossible to ......"

The woman just muttered, as if in despair.

"Brother Thirteen, save me!"

When the man went to the city, he was gagged, and he couldn't make a sound, Lu Jiu couldn't stand it and stepped forward to pull out the rags of the gag, and the man screamed.

Li Xin's gaze retracted from outside the city, and gradually became colder, staring directly at the man.

"Do you know what crime you have committed?"

“……”

The man was speechless for a while, in fact, since entering the city, Li Xin has issued several simple rules, all of which are violated and killed, but he has not been the only one who embezzles money, and it can be regarded as turning a blind eye here, how do these people know.

"You and I both have parents, brothers and sisters, since you have joined my Gaoyang Army, you have to defend a home for the people, see what you have done? Grab money, grab food, grab women! What is the difference between doing this and a robber and a horse thief? ”

Li Xin said with a long sigh, he finally made up his mind.

"Now we are the Gaoyang Army, no matter what the Ming Dynasty does to us, whether it recognizes us or not, we gather into an army for one purpose, that is, to expel the Tartars and protect our people. Now, everyone seems to be very nostalgic for the days when I was a horse thief, if anyone disagrees with the purpose of my Gaoyang Army, then please stand up and go back to Taihang Mountain, I Li Xin will not stop you! With that, Li Xin turned his gaze to Lu Jiu.

"Lu Jiu!"

Lu Jiu had been persuading Li Xin to return to Taihang Mountain before, but he didn't expect Li Xin to make such an attitude at this moment, the thirteenth brother has changed, not the thirteenth brother he is familiar with, but no matter how it changes, he Lu Jiu is the same Lu Jiu as before.

"Where is the thirteenth brother, where is Lu Jiu, the thirteenth brother is the Gaoyang Army, and I Lu Jiu is the Gaoyang Army!"

The horse thieves of the left camp were gathered under the city one after another, and when they heard a conversation in the city, it was naturally a commotion, they had never planned for their future, but they gathered together with the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and the instinct to survive. Now the thirteenth brother Li Xin's statement made them a little overwhelmed for a while.

But soon someone said in the city: "From now on, there will be no horse thief Li Sixteen, only Li Sixteen, the veteran of the Gaoyang Army, ......."

With the person who took the lead, the people in the left battalion also expressed their stance that from now on, they would only be at ease in the Gaoyang army, and no one planned to continue to be a horse thief in Taihang Mountain.

For a time, the city shouted the sound of the Gaoyang army, like a bell, like a drum.

Li Xin felt that people's hearts were available, and Lu Jiu waved his hand, pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist, and slammed it into the gap in the rammed earth of the city wall.

"From now on, whoever violates Gaoyang's military regulations again, has such a knife!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and the slogan shook the sky.

"Kill the Tartars, protect the people!"

The man who was tied to the ground was already like ashes, and he already knew that he was in danger, but he no longer begged for mercy.

"Brother Thirteen, I have violated military rules and am willing to die!" Then he turned around and hissed to the Zuoying brothers under the city: "Today, I will test the law, take the first step, and in twenty years, we will be brothers again!" ”

After finishing speaking, he pounced on the half of the Yanling knife that Lu Jiu had broken and inserted into the ground, seeing that the knife was in his chest, his life was gone, and he said that it was too late, it was fast, Li Xin flew up and kicked the man away.

"How anxious to die? Violating military regulations should be punished as a canonical one. ”

The man was stunned, and didn't understand why Li Xin wanted to save himself. Lu Jiu, Zhang Shi and the others were also confused, this person led the death to a successful end, what kind of moth is Li Xin going to come out of?

Li Xin looked at the woman and asked kindly, "Miss's family, but they were all taken away by the Tartars?" ”

The woman burst into tears, and a pair of watery eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, but then it was replaced by a strong hatred, and she gritted her teeth. Daddy, brother...... They were all taken captive, and only ...... were left This hatred is incompatible."

A soft language was spoken, and everyone who heard it was moved.
