"So...... Thank you!" Wu Xing hugged his fist slightly at Zhixian, then turned around and went down the stairs. Holding a fist against a magistrate with the respect of the star monarch is already enough to give face. Even the Nine Rank Star Monarch is not worshiped by officials!

Zhixian slowly took the handkerchief back into his arms, as if he was savoring the "thank you" place.

Wu Xing went down to the edge of the city wall and found that it was actually the general who was waiting for him with two tall horses, so he hurriedly sped up two steps, thanked him, and then turned over and got on the horse.

The two of them each took a torch and chased after the shadow of the general and dozens of his own soldiers.

"Wu Xing, your star hammer should be dancing very slippery, right?" the general said with a smile: "I see that you are very good at riding, and you are like walking on the ground on the horse formation." ”

Wu Xing laughed at himself: "At that time, I only cared about running for my life, and I didn't have time to pay attention to anything else." It's scary to think about it now. ”

Seeing that Wu Xing avoided answering, General Pi diverted the topic and asked, "You are the adopted son of Qian Nanzheng, the acting guerrilla general, right?"

There was nothing to hide about this question, so Wu Xing nodded generously: "Exactly!"

"Not bad! Not bad!" General Bi said a few words thoughtlessly and then kept silent, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Qian Nanzheng being good, or Wu Xing being good, or something else.

Those two fire dragons are estimated to have three or four thousand iron horses, and the White Horse Military Town has such a huge number of troops, so naturally it can't hide the barbarian horsemen in the barbarian barracks. It didn't take long for the three barracks surrounded by three barracks to rush out one after another, and the nearly 100 barbarian horsemen arrived first, but they rushed to the battlefield one step ahead of the dozens of horsemen led by the general.

Due to their unbalanced diet, most of the civilians of the seven countries of the Starfall Continent suffer from an eye disease called "Blindfold", which makes it difficult to move in a dimly lit environment, or at night when they cannot see clearly, or at all.

The situation of ordinary soldiers is slightly better, but night combat is greatly affected by environmental factors, such as the stars and moon, rain and snow, wind and sand, fog, terrain and terrain, and even the accidents of the heralds, all of which will affect the situation of the battle; the banners of generals on the battlefield are far less distinguishable than those in daytime, and those who carry torches usually become the target of public criticism and are given priority to eradication by the enemy; during the daytime marches and battles, they are all left behind and scattered, and it is even more difficult to count on them in night battles, and the chances of slashing each other's own people in a melee with the enemy are no less than those of slashing the enemy......

Therefore, the two cavalry armies starting from Whitehorse Town with torches scattered throughout the battlefield, forming a huge encirclement of the barbarians and providing enough light sources. At this time, it can also be seen that the West Wind Country mobilized tens of thousands of foot cavalry troops in order to catch turtles in the urn at this time. The barbarians who were forced to put out a zigzag car formation for defense, plus two or three thousand young men and women in Longxi, the total number was about more than 10,000. Those young men and women were all in their teens and twenty years and their hands were strung together by hemp ropes, tied to the side of the cart, blocking the outermost outermost, and it seemed that they were actually used as a "moat" by the barbarians!

When the young and strong women of two or three thousand people saw the black wind battle flag on a white background, they knew that their own reinforcements had arrived, and they had blocked the invading barbarian army here, so they naturally had a burst of crying and commotion, and some wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break free from the shackles and escape from the car formation.

The barbarian who led the army was extremely ruthless, and directly ordered to kill nearly two hundred people on the spot before suppressing this wave of commotion.

Wu Xing pursed his lips, reached out and stroked the side of his somewhat restless mount's neck, and watched silently. He knew that even if he was already a nine-star serial martial arts star monarch, he was very small on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, and he could only engrave the tragic scene in front of him in his mind, and he didn't dare to forget it.

"You're right, boy. They carry a lot of things, and there must be very important things in them, far more important than tea cakes and burning knives, so much more important than tea cakes and burning knives, that they cannot give them up, like a drowning man holding on to money but still unwilling to let go. The general turned his head and glanced at Wu Xing, and then said: "They now want to use these civilians of Longxi Jun as bargaining chips, and negotiate terms with us, presumably in exchange for them leaving with their things." Let's go to the front of the battle and have a good chat with their ten thousand households!"

Wu Xing heard the extremely suppressed anger from the general's flat tone, and then looked at Lu Lao, the general, and the dozens of horsemen in surprise as a matter of course escorting the general to the place in front of the chariot array. Wu Xing, who came back to his senses, naturally knocked the horse's belly lightly and followed closely.

"My general told you to come out and answer!" shouted one of his own soldiers, riding some distance forward.

A gap was formed in the chariot formation, and more than a dozen barbarian horsemen rushed out, standing opposite to the general and dozens of other horsemen. Although the barbarian horsemen are not superior in numbers, judging from their ununified "style", these dozen barbarian horsemen may all be Wuqu Xingjun!

"We don't want all these hundreds of truckloads of things, as well as these civilians, as a price to redeem ourselves. We took only our soldiers and two truckloads of supplies. That's our condition. "Na Wanhu speaks the lingua franca of the Starfall Continent, and his appearance is a rare Sven among the barbarians, and at the first time, it will make people mistakenly think that he is a scholar, and he can't imagine that the previous order to suppress the commotion by force was given by him.

"Hmm, is it two of them, or any two of them?" the general directly recruited his soldiers back into the formation, and asked directly, "Oh? Let me guess...... The reason why so many goods were transported over at such great lengths was that they were from the Southern Chu Kingdom?"

As soon as Wan Hu heard this, he knew that today's matter might not be good, so he said frankly: "We are a member of the Chuergan Tribal Alliance, and we are one of the few tribes on the grassland that are friendly to the seven countries of the mainland. This time it was the Khan who ordered us to come and receive a shipment, and then we braved the heavy wind and snow to go south. However, an accident on the way delayed our return, so we were forced to continue south, attacking nearby villages, hoping to create a no-man's land so that our goods could cross the border. We are willing to show our goodwill by releasing an additional 2,000 slaves from the tribe, which we bought from other tribes, not from captivity. ”

"Some Ruishi detected that a batch of 'contraband' from the south would transit through Longxi, so they tried to intercept it, and it is estimated that it is the batch in front of them. Lu Lao turned around and whispered to the general.

Lu Lao's volume was not big or small, anyway, Wu Xing heard it clearly, blinking his eyes there, plucking his ears, and being a little overwhelmed.

"You say you did everything you had to do. The general pointed to the bloody corpses on the snow, and said coldly, "Are they included?"

"If you don't stop the commotion, you and I will definitely fight each other in the end, and more people will die at that time!" Wan Hu Ce immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "If the general needs to pay for his life, please detain me and let my soldiers take those two truckloads of supplies on the way home!"

Wanhu directly commanded the general's army. From the initial withdrawal of troops, only taking away two truckloads of supplies, to the later release of 2,000 slaves, and now directly taking the respect of ten thousand households as a hostage, it has shown great "sincerity".

However, this is not the greatest sincerity of Wanhu.

"The surrounding tribes are eyeing the stone grease merchant road, and they are already plotting to jointly send troops to annex our tribe, and they will do it when the spring is open...... The north is bitterly cold, and once it encounters the white plague, almost half of the tribes will not be able to survive. We have admired the culture of the West Wind Country for a long time, and when we escort two thousand slaves south, we will take advantage of the situation to move the tribe south to annex it! Voluntarily become the Great Wall of flesh and blood on the grassland south of the Great Wall, and forever be the northern barrier of the West Wind Country!"

I have to say that the vision outlined by Wanhu is beautiful, and in a sense, it can even be regarded as a win-win situation. Assuming that the northern frontier of the Zephyr Kingdom is stable from now on, the army of the Zephyr Kingdom can calmly march eastward and point its sword at the northern countries.

At this time, Wu Xing frowned slightly, knocked the horse's belly a little abruptly, came to Lu Lao's side, whispered in his ear, and said the words of the hundred households pointing to the villagers of Chenjia Village and Shanmu Village on the dam: "...... These are the property of the tribe......"

Lu Lao glanced at Wu Xing with a smile, nodded and signaled that he already knew, but did not pass this message to the general. Wu Xing's words and deeds had already attracted the attention of the barbarians on the other side, and many barbarians looked up and down at this young man who was only a teenager.

At this time, a man next to Wanhu rode forward and stood side by side with Wanhu.

"Lord Daru Huachi!" Wan Hu turned his head and bowed his head to say hello, which could be regarded as an introduction to the other party for the origin and identity of the barbarian rider next to him. Then, as if to honor his status as a prisoner, he retreated a few feet backwards, and became half a horse behind.

"From here all the way to the north to the gap of the Great Wall, the terrain is almost flat, suitable for cavalry combat. The West Wind National Iron Cavalry is good at short-distance sprints, while the Northland Horse has excellent endurance, and one person and two horses can march nearly two hundred miles day and night......." Daru Huachi paused for a moment, and then continued: "There are very few cases of night battles in the Starfall Continent, just because the outcome of night battles is too variable, and there are also cases in history where the situation is good and the enemy is turned over by the wind. ”

"As for what Wan Hu said just now, the general should not take it to heart! The barbarians' housework should be solved by the barbarians themselves! Otherwise, in a fit of rage, the Khan personally led hundreds of thousands of troops from the four major totems south to 'take' Wan Hu back, and then everyone's face might not be so good-looking. ”

Daru Huachi's soft and hard words made Wu Xing's face change greatly. It's just that Wu Xing looked around and found that the expressions on the faces of Lu Lao and the other soldiers were not shocked, and they were completely like Daru Huachi barking just now.

"Do you think you can go back?" the general chuckled and shook his head.
