Xu Liu spit out a mouthful of blood foam, subconsciously turned to one side, dodged a knife on the head, and smashed the knife into the face of a black-faced man with a backhand, and smashed the opponent's skin and flesh to fall off the horse.

There were countless shouts of killing in the back.

Behind him were the bones of a ground.

The day before yesterday, with fifty nights of non-collection, one person and three horses, out of the customs to inquire about the news, by the way escorted a group of people outside the customs to migrate to the customs for refuge, but I didn't expect to bump into the baggage team of the Northern Barbarians.

He ordered a sneak attack, destroying a batch of grain and grass on the other side, as well as a construction truck, but it obviously angered the prince of Beiban Zhennan, who was known as the enemy of 10,000 people.

Along the way, the Northern Barbarians sent troops to chase after them.

Up to now, there are still about 20 miles away from Qingxian Mountain**.

The horses were lost.

Those barbarians are very good at archery, and they are also very proficient in the principle of shooting people and horses first.

Xu Liu hated it, and he didn't know who taught these barbarians the art of war, and they became more and more cunning.

Today, more than 40 people are physically and mentally exhausted, and only 26 of them remain, and nearly half of them are injured.

Xu Liu exhaled, dragged the two fallen girls with one hand, and said sharply: "Run, stop and die." ”

"Whew."

The two women who had worn out the soles of their feet swallowed their cries and ran desperately.

Even if you run until you vomit blood and run to death, you must not stop.

Xu Liu sighed, and the two guards all shot out to help him block a wave of attacks, and the chasing soldiers behind him looked hundreds or thousands at first glance.

"I still have a lot to say to Ruohua......

He couldn't help despairing.

"If I had children, I wouldn't let them be fooled into joining the army in the future, just looking forward to studying and embroidering at home...... Even if it's a gentleman, it's great. ”

Xu Liu's lungs were hot, as if they had exploded, shouting and screaming to kill and make his ears hurt.

"Sir!"

The short guard pounced, and Xu Liu rolled on the spot, dodging a long arrow.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind, Xu Liu's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Be careful!" ”

Everyone rushed to the back of the boulder forest next to them, and the overwhelming rain of arrows flew in, forcing people to raise their heads.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

"!"

A black-faced soldier gritted his teeth, in a desperate situation, but went crazy, "Sir, you withdraw first, we ...... Spelled. ”

Xu Liu calculated the distance, shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't escape, instead of dying with his back to the enemy, it was better to kill a few more than that.

He closed his eyes, silently deduced the battle situation in his mind, dragged the two leading strong men among the people, and quickly drew a simple schematic diagram on the ground, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, and said word by word: "You scatter these eight directions, and if you can run out, a few will be counted." ”

I really can't take care of it too much.

The common people didn't say a word, they ran away, they fled all the way, and they were completely numb to the point that they only knew one word for escape.

Xu Liu counted down silently, and after a moment, he said sharply: "Rush!" ”

Everyone drew their knives and scrambled to be the first, and now it was time to fight hard. Feeling the wind roaring in his ears, his heart was beating violently, and he saw that the two sides were about to be strangled in one place, only to hear a crisp sound, the enemy formation suddenly became chaotic, and the enemy soldiers in the last row fell headlong.

Xu Liu: "...... Stop! ”

The night did not stop at night, hiding on the spot and dodging, with a faint suspicion on his face.

The barbarian soldiers were even more frightened, but these barbarians were brave and well-trained, and they only stopped their formation for a moment, turned around and rushed backwards as fast as they could.

It's just that they recoiled quickly and fell quickly.

Fang Ruohua rode on a jujube red horse, her face was cold, she raised her hand and pulled away her long hair that was messed up by the wind, even if the enemy had more than five times their strength, she didn't have much to worry about.

When a relatively mature hot weapon is against a cold weapon, the ammunition is sufficient, and it is not approached by the enemy, the hot weapon has an absolute advantage.

Fang Ruohua squinted, the dust in front of her eyes, the smell of gunpowder smoke was permeating, her firearms battalion had been formed, and she made her first official appearance except for the bandits, against the strongest barbarian cavalry in the world.

The task was well accomplished, there was almost one-sided slaughter in front of us, and the enemy did not pose too serious a threat to firearms.

Fang Ruohua gathered the thin cloak used to block the wind and sand, and watched the soldiers clean the battlefield, dig out the bullet casings, and mend the knife to destroy the traces on the corpses.

She didn't actually want to hide it all the time, and sooner or later the mature firearm would show up on the battlefield.

It's just that the island has not yet been completely developed, and there are only more than 100 people in the firearms battalion.

In short, it's best to keep a low profile for a while longer, so that others pay less attention to them, and the less trouble the better.

Fang Ruohua rode his horse and walked forward gently, and the elite soldiers of the Firearms Battalion of the Sea King Guard, with their guns on their backs, gathered towards her in unison.

Against the light, seeing those saviors from the sky coming in unison, the night guards of the eastern Zhenbei army were simply dumbfounded, and they were at a loss for a while.

In the confrontation just now, they saw that the clouds and mountains were foggy, and although it was over, there was still a little disbelief in their hearts at this time.

Let them be tired of running for their lives, and the barbarians who are afraid to the limit, let the less than 100 people in front of them be like cutting melons and vegetables, and kill them when they say they will kill?

Are these people friend or foe? Should they come up and say thank you?

Xu Liu swallowed and spit, strode to Fang Ruohua's horse, and said loudly: "Lady! ”

Night: "......"

Mr. is so powerful, if you don't love women, you don't love women, if you are really brave, you are really invincible, even such a female Rakshasa dares to tease?

Fang Ruohua: "......"

Too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Dismount."

Fang Ruohua gave an order, and more than 20 people of Haiwangwei got off their horses and gave their horses to the wounded soldiers and ordinary people.

The people did not flee far, and they also regrouped back.

After escaping for so long, there was no one with the luggage, which finally saved a lot of trouble.

The group gathered together and hurried in the direction of the mountain.

Fang Ruohua's spirit was also unconsciously tense, the nearby area belonged to the war zone, there were the defenders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the cavalry raids of the Northern Barbarians, and the two sides were fighting each other all the time.

Along the way, he met two more cavalry squads of the Northern Barbarians.

The people who don't take it at night still want to protect the slender goddess of wealth, so they see that this slightly sickly woman does not dodge or dodge, her body does not move, and the horse under the seat neighses, and rushes straight towards the enemy soldiers.

Wherever the tall red horse passed, there was only the faint sound of a blade entering the flesh.

Countless people have maintained the action of reunion, but they have lost their lives, some even have hideous looks on their faces, and some of the knives in their hands have not yet been unsheathed.

The little man didn't look at the dead face of the leader of the enemy soldiers, and then looked at the weak woman who tore off the blood-stained sleeve and threw it away with disgust!

He felt ...... He didn't feel anything, and honestly hurried away.

The soldiers of the Sea King Firearms Battalion did not use firearms anymore, and they were also worried that the movement would be too big.

Cutting down the thorns and weeds on the road casually, the horse's hoof marks commonly used by the Great Zhou cavalry on the ground gradually increased, and everyone relaxed slightly.

Fang Ruohua raised his head and looked into the distance, frowned and asked Xu Liu: "What is the situation in the northern Xinjiang?" ”

"It's not too good."

Xu Liu seemed to be a little aggrieved, "Our army captured the Longyuan Valley and recaptured Qingxian, it should have taken a big victory, made persistent efforts, and went to the next city, even if it forced the northern barbarians to negotiate peace with me, it was an acceptable choice." ”

"But now the battle situation is a stalemate, and within half a month, the Northern Barbarians have attacked Qingxian seven times, and each time the offensive is more ferocious than the other."

"We won at that time, but it was also a tragic victory, and now we have lost our troops, more than half of our soldiers have been killed and wounded, there is a serious shortage of officers, and we are running out of food and grass, and we urgently need to replenish it."

"But Yang Guozhong, the prefect of Shanzuo, said one thing at a time, anyway, it was all kinds of prevarication, he refused to borrow grain at all, the court did not send reinforcements, and he did not give grain and grass."

"We, General Bai, have written to urge food, and we have urged it several times, but there is no news at all."

"I don't think it's a question of whether to Baoqing County anymore, the imperial court doesn't want even the mountain, and even Donglin Town."

Fang Ruohua nodded, these ...... It's all to be expected.

A group of people who don't close at night frequently look sideways.

No one knows what kind of madness their gentleman, who is deeply valued by the general, is crazy.

Although the other party saved them, after all, they are outsiders, so why tell everything about the situation in the army?

"I'll figure it out." Fang Ruohua raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and nodded at the eighty-two firearms battalion soldiers behind him, "As for the reinforcements, isn't this coming?" ”

Xu Liu's head.

The eyes of a guard beside him lit up: "Reinforcements? How many are there and when? ”

Fang Ruohua thought for a while: "Including me, eighty-three." ”

Guard: "......"

The corners of the night's mouths twitched.

Beiban has gathered an army of 200,000 to attack Qingxian and Shan**, a small team of less than 100 people, dare to say what kind of reinforcements? Came to deliver food, right?

They admit that just looking at the situation of the battle at the beginning, the combat effectiveness of these people is not weak, and they still use firearms.

What does the firearms battalion look like, they veterans don't know it, they all know very well, although the power is great, it is also dangerous, and the restrictions are very large, how many firearms can they carry with such a small number of people? A drop in the bucket, completely insufficient.

In fact, the confrontation at that time was full of dust and smoke, and no one could see it clearly, these people around Xu Liu did not underestimate Fang Ruohua and the others, but with the addition of one hundred and ten people, the impact on the battle situation was not great.

They are now looking forward to the imperial court sending a large army to help, so that it is possible to relieve the predicament, otherwise Qingxian will not be guaranteed to be small, lose Donglin Town, and let the Beiban go straight into the pass, and then it will be a horse Pingchuan, which will go straight to the capital.

When the time comes, they will all be guilty of great sins.

Fang Ruohua ignored the contempt and disappointment of these soldiers, and exchanged the situation with Xu Liu in a low voice.

While speaking, everyone had arrived in Qingxian, Fang Ruohua looked up at the tattered city wall, and the city wall, standing in twos and threes, like soldiers without bones.

Then I turned my head to look into the distance, and I could vaguely see the camp of the Northern Barbarians neatly and the handsome flag fluttering.

“…… In other words, I am a Northern Barbarian general, looking at your decadent virtue, I must also have a great increase in confidence, and I will be sorry for myself if I don't fight. ”

Fang Ruohua sighed.

Xu Liuyan looked at her.

Fang Ruohua couldn't help but think, Xu Mo didn't have this guy's verbosity and ...... Lovely.

Striding into Qingxian, Fang Ruohua went straight to Bai Shao's camp, and without waiting for the long-time general to put the joy on his face, he blasted out the vigilant guards.

"General Bai Shao is also an old handsome, you refuse to go to war, and the momentum of the defenders is so weak, don't you clearly tell the enemy that we are at the end of the crossbow, welcome to fight?"

Bai Shao: "......"

There is nothing to fight about in the battle of tongues, and he simply puts on a deaf appearance.

Fang Ruohua sat down steadily, and unceremoniously spit out the first sentence of the suggestion about the current situation: "If the imperial court sends someone to escort you back to Beijing, the two principles, there will be no conflict, and you will not listen to orders for the time being." ”

"The so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad."

Second sentence: "From now on, everything will listen to me." ”

Half of his body was red with blood, his face was sallow, and he couldn't even get up: "...... Good. ”

"Then, take off the war-free card today, frustrate the spirit of the Northern Barbarians, and show the bearing that the winner should have."

Fang Ruohua said coldly.

Bai Shao: This posture of grabbing power is really fierce.

But there is no way, who makes their own family owe debts to others, and the grain, grass and weapons are still in the hands of others, and they have to listen if they don't listen.

Day 1.

Fang Ruohua opened the city gate and called the formation, killed the enemy general with three swords, led the phalanx of eighty-two people to collide with the enemy formation, entered and exited three times, killed countless enemies, and returned with a great victory.

Day 2.

The Northern Barbarians attacked the city fiercely, and Fang Ruohua threw fire and thunder, destroying hundreds of enemies.

It's a pity that the fire and thunder are limited, so you still have to save it.

In the early morning of the third day, Fang Ruohua slaughtered pigs and sheep, prepared countless feasts, and the soldiers were full of wine and food, and went to the pit to slash and kill the eight hundred Northern Barbarian warriors who came to attack at night and were trapped in the trap.

When there were rumors in the Japanese army, it was said that Fang Ruohua was clever and could calculate all the enemy's actions, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, which was completely different from the scene he saw on the first day.

Fang Ruohua breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Bai Shao and said, "Finally, there is still the strength to fight." ”

Bai Shao was not at ease: "...... When will reinforcements arrive? How long can the grain and grass last? ”

Although Fang Ruohua claimed to be reinforcements, she could count on the soldiers in her hand, it was better to expect God to throw a thunderbolt down and smash the other party to death.

It's useless to have firearms.

It costs a lot of money to keep a firearms battalion.

For the sake of secrecy, the speed of her gun and ammunition production has not been able to keep up.

Raising soldiers is also expensive.

The people she brought with her were all one-in-a-hundred marksmanship masters...... The kind where a hundred rounds of ammunition is guaranteed to kill one or two enemies.

At present, it is okay to count on firearms raids, or to be killers, and it is up to people to really determine the outcome of the battlefield.

"But how can it be so easy to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court? Rumors in the capital, you should also know, some people say that you are implicated with the king of Ming, I am afraid that the reinforcements have not arrived, and the holy decree to send you back to Beijing for trial has come first. ”

Fang Ruohua frowned.

Bai Shao's face changed, and his face was cloudy.

In fact, he is not innocent at all on this issue, and if he really defends himself, he cannot argue clearly.

But this is his biggest secret, and it is also the biggest secret in the rebel army, he has been very careful all these years, and never shows his true face when he meets the people of the rebel army, so it is said that he should not show flaws...... Where did the rumors come from?
