Chapter Seventy-Two: The Change of Elbows and Armpits

Xu Yongzhi's direct boss was Lei Song, the commander of the infantry army's yamen.

Lei Song's wife is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth.

After Xu Yongzhi was granted ten days off by Zhao Kuangyin, all the work of preparing to attack the Northern Han Dynasty was pressed on Lei Song alone.

Lei Song sleeps less than three hours a day.

Food, cotton clothing, ordnance, bows and arrows, armor, horses.

There is a saying that "what is an infantry, it is a soldier who comes out step by step".

This is pure sensationalism and does not make any sense.

In fact, the Hujie infantry army was an infantry on horseback.

Because they were the strongest infantry in the Great Zhou, they used horses to commute and transport.

The infantry is the state of their battle, not the state of their march.

Lei Song always felt that he might end up in the position of the head of the capital.

In fact, it is very comfortable to be the head of the capital, because this position is the so-called "head of the soldiers", dealing with the soldiers, it is not so complicated, you have the ability and courage, they will follow you and convince you.

But when you become a commander, or even a commander, then your trouble comes, because you still have officers under you, and the interests of your subordinates and your interests will be completely inconsistent.

After Lei Song became the commander, the others stopped drinking with him.

Sometimes he wants to play with other capitalists, and Zhao Kuangyi has to persuade him.

"Lao Lei, you can't always play with the people below, you have to mix with your superiors and peers." Zhao Kuangyi taught him a bunch of officialdom secrets, which made Lao Lei unbearable.

After Xu Yongzhi's family had an accident and asked for leave, Lei Song completely changed as a person.

He works, but he is tired of work, he wants to take care of his family, but he is preparing for a big war.

He is ready to welcome the birth of the child, but he may not see it - he is going to fight Taiyuan City, and Taiyuan City is not easy to fight, the last bloody battle is still fresh in everyone's memory, and the winner also crawled out of the pile of dead.

In addition, it is those small and tense things - the logistics supply of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army is based on command.

This means that the capital only needs to ensure that the soldiers suffer fewer casualties, and the commander has to consider various more complicated situations such as grain, grass, and winter clothing.

Of course, being a commander can make more money, if you are willing to do something about the soldiers' salaries.

But after Chai Rong became the emperor, the officers of the forbidden army were silent, and Lao Lei himself was not here, drinking the blood of the soldiers would not only be scolded, but also be shot with dark arrows on the battlefield - as an official, you must be kind to your subordinates.

Therefore, sometimes, Lei Song secretly complained to Xu Yongzhi, if it weren't for the fact that this subordinate shined and saved the driver, he wouldn't have to be put in such a hard position as a commander.

He also secretly complained about Chai Rong, why he didn't have a good rest in winter, and he had to go on an expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty, Emperor Chai's kindness to the enemy was well known, but he was harsh to his own people, and I am afraid that he was also famous far and wide.

Of course, in his work, he still honestly guarded the imperial city and prepared to go on the expedition.

The good news is coming sooner than you think.

On the night when Xu Yong visited the princess's mansion on the night, Lei Song's child was born, a daughter.

His wife was very unwilling and kept saying sorry.

But Lei Song hugged his crumpled newborn daughter, but suddenly had a strange thought.

Tokyo city is so nice, it's nice to have a home.

He didn't want to fight anymore.

But the newly promoted commander, it is too difficult to retire at this time, the forbidden army generally has to work until the age of fifty, Lao Lei is now Chinese New Year's Eve four, and there are sixteen years, and when he marries his daughter, he can almost retire.

Having a child in middle age is a very complicated experience for people.

You'll look forward to her growing up, but you'll worry about getting old.

A little person who is pink will also sneeze, and this veteran's heart will melt.

He kept the child all night and didn't sleep, in fact, the newborn child was very quiet and didn't need to toss much, but he thought about it a lot.

When I went to Dianmao the next day, I had a big black circle around my eyes.

He was tired, not tired from not sleeping all night, but tired of fighting.

Lei Song just wants to get through the day quickly, and go back to see his wife and children at night, the old mother hired by his hometown is unreliable, and there is a rough girl at home, and cooking is not delicious, so he should go back to cook soup for his wife.

Lei Song's wife is a well-known beauty in the neighborhood, and she runs a silk village at home.

When Guo Wei allowed his troops to loot the city of Tokyo, Lei Song was still a chief, and followed a few brothers to kick open the door of a silk shop.

At this time, a soldier found the boss's daughter from the wall.

In the hands of these coarse people, this girl was categorically unlucky.

Instead of letting them harm their daughter, it is better to give her daughter away.

The boss could see that Lei Song was the leader of the gang, and quickly knelt down and pleaded.

"These silks are dowry, and I hope to marry the military master."

The girl looked at Lei Song, who also had the least beard and the most decent appearance in this group, and she also begged bitterly, hoping to marry Lei Song.

The silk has been loaded into the car, and it is the property of the brothers, Lei Song understands this rule.

The brothers took the money, and Lei Song asked for someone. The brothers also know the rules.

Lei Song married such a flower-like wife like this.

The new daughter-in-law has a sweet mouth and is very sensible.

After the situation in Tokyo stabilized, the old man regretted it a little.

Because Lei Song's level is too low, his daughter married him, which was a little wronged, but the daughter comforted her father every time, saying that Lei Song was a good man and a good man.

Say a word of "love", these two people deserve it.

After Lei Song became the head of the capital, his life was better, but his father-in-law's business was also better, and he still hoped that his son-in-law could have a greater future.

There is also a regret, the couple has not had a child for a long time, and I don't know how much medicine I have taken for this, and the doctors of Shanzitang have also seen it, and there is finally good news this year.

When the child was born, my grandfather gave me a gift.

At this time, Lei Song was really relieved, with the bond of blood, it would be difficult to break up the couple.

Some people will become more courageous after having children, thinking that they have offspring, they can let go and kill, and even if they die, they can fight for a wife.

But there are also people who will become shy back after having children, thinking that there is a fleshy little life that has become their concern, and when they need the courage of a husband, they will be afraid and hesitate.

Unfortunately, Lei Song is the latter kind of person.

For the whole day, Lei Song just kept his eyes on checkpoints, patrolled, drew on various lists, and distributed supplies to everyone, seeing that the sun was in the west, he was about to get off work.

At this time, there was a strange vibration in the Xuanwu Gate.

A moon gate appeared out of thin air outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Previously, Huo Yizun set up an enchantment, and the Imperial City could not use teleportation.

This raid appeared outside the Xuanwu Gate.

A brown giant in heavy armor and a body length of two or three feet stepped out of the portal, wielding a giant stick made of an entire tree in his hand.

"It's the last Assassin!" One of the soldiers had sharp eyes and recognized it.

Compared to the last time, this Assassin did not wear armor, as there was no armor of this size.

Compared to last time, the assassin looked twice as tall and full of murderous intent.

This thing is not human! Lei Song was secretly surprised.

Lei Song hurriedly commanded everyone to attack.

Thirty archers on the gatehouse drew their bows to their full.

"Aim!" Lei Song ordered.

"Put!"

The troll wielded a wooden club and unswiped its bow and arrows.

If there is something that has not been knocked out, it is just stuck on his head.

The troll knocked two soldiers who dared to approach him into the air, and two of them were thrown on the wall, killing them instantly.

"Close the door!" Lei Song ordered.

The gates slammed shut, and the soldiers began to pull the drawbridge desperately.

If the drawbridge is pulled up, there is no way for the troll to attack, even if he is tall, he will not be able to cross the moat of the imperial city.

But before the drawbridge could be pulled up, the troll threw the stick at hand, smashing the soldiers who were shaking the drawbridge into a pulp.

The surrounding archers saw this scene and dispersed.

Lei Song hurriedly commanded the spearmen to surround the troll, the spear still had a bit of an advantage over the unarmed troll, and they tried to stab the monster.

The monster just walked forward slowly, raising its hand to break their spears and shatter their heads.

It's tragic.

The troll stepped one foot into the city gate, and his target was the Emperor's bedchamber.

At the foot of Mount Hua, Huo Yizun suddenly woke up, and the barrier he had laid was broken.

"Young master, a wizard with an enemy has entered the palace." Huo Yizun said.

"Teleport us there, quick!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes!" Huo Yizun agreed, and hurriedly opened the portal.

In desperation, Lei Song chased after the troll and stood in front of him.

In the past, Lei Song had never known to be afraid, but now, he was completely crushed by his new position, short-term work pressure, family burdens, and invulnerable trolls.

There is not a hero who fights to the death, only a middle-aged man who is depressed and desperate, standing in front of the trolls.

The troll didn't bother to pay attention to him, and with a gentle flick of him, he fell to the side of the road.

Lei Song was not injured, and he had a bow and arrow by his side.

When he reached for the bow, he suddenly thought of his wife's beautiful eyes and his daughter's fleshy cheeks.

"Why don't you just lie down like this for a while?" He suddenly had such a thought.

Just as he was almost asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a strong light.

The portal appeared in front of the troll, and Huo Yizun, Xu Yongzhi, and Duan Meimei walked out of the door.

"Yongzhi, we can't hold on!" Lei Song shouted for help.

"Commander, you go and let Your Majesty avoid it," Xu Yongzhi looked at the troll, and also knew that it would be impossible to escape a catastrophe today, "Leave it to me here!" ”

Lei Song got up and ran away.

Huo Yizun's hands let out two ice explosions.

This is the top level of ice sorcery, which can effectively reduce the speed of enemies.

The troll ate twice, and its movements became sluggish.

"Surrender, Yitong! Uncle will find a way to cure you! Huo Yizun yelled at the troll.

He also thought that he could resolve the issue peacefully.

"Uncle Yizun, he is no longer Huo Yitong!" Xu Yongzhi shouted.

That's when a miracle happened.

After Huo Yitong was beaten twice by the ice, he seemed to be willing to communicate with Huo Yizun, and he leaned down, as if to say something.

Duan Meimei saw an opportunity at this moment, Huo Yitong's two giant eyes were already within the range of her crossbow, and she was now thinking about revenge.

Shoot this bad guy who will take revenge.

Duan Meimei pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow rushed straight towards Huo Yitong and nailed it to its right eye.

"Don't!" Huo Yizun wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Whew!" The troll let out an inhuman roar, and the last vestiges of humanity and warmth vanished.

"Calm down!" Huo Yizun tried to appease it, but it was out of control.

The troll stretched out his hand and slapped Huo Yizun on him.

Like a doll that had been thrown out, Huo Yizun fell on the outer wall of a house, and the wall burst a big hole with a bang.

Although he is a wizard, his martial arts are not low, and this time it also made him spit blood.

The troll gradually approached Huo Yizun.

Xu Yongzhi attacked with a sword from the left hand side of the troll, but he found that this kind of blade could not damage the troll at all, and the troll just slapped his sword with his left, and there was no damage, two or three palms, and the sword was bent like a curved ruler.

At this time, Duan Meimei had already reloaded the crossbow arrows, she walked between the troll and Huo Yizun, and aimed at the troll's right eye.

The troll quickly covered his right eye, and the arrow landed in the palm of his hand.

At this time, the troll saw Duan Meimei.

He became obsessed.

In the eyes of the trolls, men are objects that need to be eliminated, while women are objects that can be assimilated and combined.

He turned to chase Duan Meimei.

Duan Meimei ran towards the depths of the palace.

"Leave me alone, go help her!" Huo Yizun said to Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi picked up a pair of bows and arrows and walked quickly to chase the troll.

He repeatedly shoots the troll in the ankle.

There is an upper limit on the weight of any land animal in the world.

For example, among the land animals living today, the heaviest is the elephant, and the heaviest in ancient times is the brontosaurus.

If it is heavier, it will not be able to support the weight on four legs, like plesiosaurs and blue whales, and they will have to live in the water.

Today's tall man, a center who plays basketball, is most worried about his ankle.

Once a giant has an ankle injury, his basketball career is over.

Xu Yongzhi understands this truth, most of the big people are not good at their feet.

He insisted on shooting only the troll's ankles, and the troll's pace grew slower.

But at this time, a large number of frightened palace maids ran around the road.

This is the food that trolls love.

It spat out its long tongue and wrapped its arms around a woman.

The girl was in her early twenties, and she howled miserably.

The troll thrust its claws into the maid's body, and its tongue went into the maid's mouth.

People watched as the body of the maid was melted and turned into a part of the troll.

"Mom!" The eunuchs and palace maids screamed and fled in all directions.

The troll finished eating the maid, it was taller and thicker, and its left eye grew back.

The troll that tasted the sweetness began to chase the next girl.

Duan Meimei looked at this monster stupidly.

"Run!" Xu Yongzhi pulled her to hide behind a palace gate.

Trolls, more than two feet tall, walked past them.

"Shoot him on the heels together!"

Xu Yongzhi pulled the bow and released the arrow, and Duan Meimei also used the crossbow to aim and shoot.

"Six, Seven......"

With each person the troll eats, it gets heavier and his feet become more and more fragile.

After more than a dozen arrows in each foot, it became very difficult to catch up with the girl.

But it had also touched its target—outside Chai Rong's dormitory.

Several palace officials pounced on him and stabbed the monster with their spears, but they were all swept away by him with their palms.

"Give it to me," Xu Yongzhi shouted to one of the guards.

The soldier recognized Xu Yongzhi and hurriedly threw the spear to him.

Xu Yongzhi caught it in the air and aimed at the monster's ankle as he fell.

The momentum of the fall, along with Xu Yongzhi's personal weight, was all focused on the gun, which passed through the monster's calves and ankles and was nailed deep into the ground.

The monster struggled, and its feet began to bleed.

Duan Meimei circled in front of the monster and shot the last two crossbow arrows into its left and right eyes.

The guy let out a dying wail.

"It's over." Duan Meimei suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.

Xu Yongzhi walked over and hugged her shoulder, and Duan Meimei threw herself into his arms.

Xu Yongzhi patted Duan Meimei's head and prepared to go in to greet the emperor.

Just when he turned around, in the monster's mouth, the long tongue suddenly poked out, and it entangled Duan Meimei at once, and the tip of the tongue was like a live snake, and it was about to burrow directly into Duan Meimei's mouth.

If this time it succeeds, it will be a waste of previous achievements.

Duan Meimei's life will definitely not be guaranteed, and the monster will also draw energy from her life, the wound will heal, and it will become even stronger.

"Save ......"

She didn't dare to speak again after she uttered a word, and closed her mouth tightly for fear that the tongue would come in.

Xu Yongzhi was already defenseless at this time, but with a hard breath, he grabbed the tongue and pulled the monster into the river, although the tongue was slippery and slimy, there were many fleshy thorns that could be grasped, Xu Yongzhi hurriedly grabbed it.

Several soldiers hurriedly came over to help, hugged Xu Yongzhi's waist, and pulled it out together, so stalemate for a while, the tongue suddenly let go of Duan Meimei, and the tip of the tongue came around from behind, straight to Xu Yongzhi's face.

A fishy stench, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

But Xu Yong's hand couldn't be scattered, and he had no other weapons, seeing that his tongue was about to be stuffed into his mouth, he turned his heart sideways and bit directly on the tip of the monster's tongue.

I didn't expect this monster to have rough skin and thick meat, but the tip of the tongue is also tender.

This mouthful, but I felt a click, and the tip of the tongue that was flexible and able to attack people was bitten off by Xu Yongzhi, and black blood flowed out.

Xu Yongzhi hurriedly spit out the blood, worried that the blood was poisonous.

Then he suddenly felt that the force that was fighting with him for his tongue was gone, and he fell to the ground with several soldiers, everyone gasping for air.

This monster is finally dead.

Duan Meimei came over and picked up Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi tidied up his appearance, knelt outside the palace gate and shouted hello.

"Minister Xu Yongzhi, respectfully invite St. Ann!"

There was no sound in the dormitory.

Xu Yongzhi raised his voice.

"Minister Xu Yongzhi, respectfully invite St. Ann!"

When Chai Rong is in good health, he will reply loudly: "I am safe! ”

After his health was not good, he would also send eunuchs out to pass the word.

But today, there is no movement.

Xu Yongzhi had an ominous premonition.

At this time, there was a heart-rending cry in the dormitory.
