The middle-aged man trembled, put down his right hand holding the kitchen knife high and shouted, "You, you are really Tang Jun?" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Liu Peng hurriedly pointed to He Shuai and said, "This is our deputy marshal, a loyal general appointed by the imperial court!" ”

He Shuai also followed and said, "Fellow, come out." We have no ill intentions! ”

The middle-aged man looked at the child in Heshuai's hand, gritted his teeth and jumped out of the water tank as if he had a lot of courage. The weapon in his hand, but he did not mean to put it down.

Seeing this, He Shuai slowly handed the child over, and whispered: "Fellow, we are really the Tang Army, and we are here to help you drive out the Turkic invaders." ”

The man took the child and held it in his arms, and as if he was afraid of hurting the child, he left the kitchen knife on the ground. Only then did he slowly ask: "You guys, are you really sent by the imperial court to fight the Turks?" ”

"yes!" In order to ease the atmosphere, He Shuai smiled on the chair next to him and asked, "Fellow, why are you all hiding?" Is there anyone else in town? ”

The middle-aged man nodded, for fear of offending Heshuai, squatted aside, and whispered: "Our Shifang Town is located at the border, and has been harassed by the Turks all year round. I don't know how long it has been since the Tang Dynasty's army arrived, and we were really scared, and as soon as we heard the sound of horses' hooves, we habitually hid in the cellar and took refuge. ”

"It's so damnable!" He Shuai's right hand slapped the table, causing a burst of dust.

The middle-aged man was startled and subconsciously looked at the kitchen knife on the ground.

"Fellow, don't be afraid!" He Shuai put on a smile again and said, "We are here this time to help you fight the war and completely drive away this group of invaders!" Protect my Datang from being persecuted by the Turks, and return you a pure land! ”

"Really?" The middle-aged man stood up from the ground in disbelief and burst into tears, "Datang has really sent troops to exterminate the Turks, and the child's mother and his brother's revenge can finally be avenged!" ”

The child, who was originally rescued by He Shuai from the closet, wiped away his tears and walked to He Shuai's side and pulled the corner of his clothes. He may not have the concept of life and death now, but he said in a milky voice: "Shu Xiao, you must avenge my mother and brother!" ”

"Well, Uncle promised you!" He Shuai nodded firmly, and turned to the middle-aged man again, "Fellow, see if you can gather all the villagers in the town, our army needs to be stationed in Shifang Town, and we can't do without your help." ”

"Good, good! I'm going to get them all!" The middle-aged man wiped away his tears, found a gong from the house and walked out of the house, knocking and shouting, "Folks, come out!" It's the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the general said that he would help us fight and help us drive out the Turkic soldiers! Come out folks......"

Hearing the familiar voice, many men and women came out of the small houses in a panic, and gathered under the big trees at the entrance of the village.

He Shuai walked up to everyone with the child in his arms, first bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, fellows, it's us late!" Let you suffer. ”

An old man with a white beard came to the front on crutches: "Oh, dare to ask this general what you call it?" I'm the mayor of this town, and I'm not welcome, so please don't blame the general. As he spoke, he trembled and wanted to kneel down and salute.

He Shuai hurriedly picked up the old man and said with a smile: "Mayor of the town, you are exempt from courtesy, please call us Xiaohe." We are here to serve you, to fight for you! These etiquettes should not be used again in the future, we are the people's army, serving the people. ”

"Oh, what an eye-opener! It's been 10 years, and it's been 10 years, and the imperial court finally sent General He to lead the army to Shifang Town. The old mayor wiped his moist eyes with his cuffs as he spoke, and shouted to the people behind him, "Everyone go and take out all your own food and reward the three armies!" Let the soldiers have enough to eat, so that they have the strength to fight! ”

"No, old man, we have our own food and grass." He Shuai smiled, "Didn't I say it just now, we are the people's army and serve the people!" Don't take a stitch from the masses. ”

"What a good man, what a good man!" The old mayor nodded.

"Without further ado, I want to organize a line of defense in Shifang Town as soon as possible, do you see if there is a commanding height in the town?" He Shuai asked, he was thinking that the location where the catapult was erected, if there was an absolute height, it could kill and injure the enemy from a long distance and in a large area.

"And General, are you a Turkic soldier who wants to attack from a high place?" The old mayor thought for a moment and said, "There is a Taoist temple in the town, and the geographical location is the highest. ”

"Can you show me there?" He Shuai was overjoyed.

"Kiko, you can take the general with you!" The old mayor called the middle-aged man from earlier.

Xizi answered and said to Heshuai: "General, you come with me!" ”

After He Shuai gave the order to stand by and be on guard on the spot, he took Liu Peng to follow Xizi to the Taoist temple.

When he came to the Taoist temple, He Shuai was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. Where is there still the appearance of the Taoist temple, the wall of the Taoist temple has long been beaten with holes, and the temple is even more dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, and even the stone statue of Taishang Laojun has not been spared......

He Shuai came to the temple and solemnly bowed to the stone statue of Laojun, and said silently: "Please bless me, drive away the invaders, and return the people to a ......."

After finishing speaking, suddenly a wall in the Taoist temple fell to the ground, and after a while, Liu Peng shouted loudly: "Big brother, come out and see!" ”

He Shuai bowed to the stone statue of Lao Jun again, and then ran out of the hall and asked, "What's wrong, Peng Peng!" ”

"Big brother, look!" Following the direction pointed by Liu Peng, I saw a small group of people and horses rushing towards Shifang Town, which was not the military uniform of the Tang Dynasty from the perspective of clothing.

"Damn, it's a fly, it's here when it smells!" He Shuai clenched his fists and asked, "How long will it take for Feather Wing to lead the catapult phalanx?" ”

After Liu Peng asked, he replied: "Yuyi said that it was the fastest, and it would take half an hour to arrive." ”

"No waiting!" He Shuai gritted his teeth in the alliance channel and said, "Idiot brother, a small group of Turkic soldiers has come from the northwest to Shifang Town, it should be spies who have come to spy on intelligence!" You personally lead 20,000 level 5 cavalry to annihilate all the enemies, and don't let one go! ”

"Don't you leave a living mouth?" The idiot asked, originally intending to catch a few alive and come back to collect some information.

"Don't leave any of them, give them a big gift first!" He Shuai slammed his right hand on the ruins on the side and said fiercely.

"I see, big brother!" The idiot replied, ordering all the people and horses to rush out of Shifang Town with a shout.

It was the first time for Liu Peng to see He Shuai so angry, he knew what 20,000 high-level cavalry meant to a scout with less than 100 enemy troops, it was absolutely crushing......
