98. Annihilation

Hongyin first glanced at the army that was still resting over there, then swallowed, sighed, and said, "The people who separated us last night evacuated in the direction of Mick's army overnight, and met the rebels on the way, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he immediately closed his eyes, thinking of the person who was still together last night, and he suddenly got such news today, which was very regrettable.

After a moment of grief, he said, "Hongyin, gather the team and prepare to go, I believe that the rebels should soon know that there is an army like ours." ”

Hongyin nodded, guessing that there must have been captures among the people who separated from him last night, and they might have revealed traces of their side.

"Boss, gather the troops and set off immediately." After Hongyin finished speaking, he left.

When Hongyin gathered the people, Li Hao said to Qiu Li: "Qiu Li, I am going to form a team of scouts." ”

Qiu Li said, "If you mean to let me form it, I refuse." ”

"Why?" Li Hao was surprised that he rejected his proposal so quickly, and asked urgently, "Why is this?" ”

Qiu Li said: "Because I don't want to be a runaway anymore, every time I risk my life to find out the enemy's movements, but after the war, all the credit is divided among the people on the battlefield." And we, the scouts, have nothing to do with us before or after. ”

Li Hao looked at his eyes and analyzed from his words, it must be that he was very dissatisfied with the position of scout after he had been reconnoitring the enemy for a long time and had not received the corresponding credit. Also, the Scout is not a very high-profile branch in the military, but his importance is unquestionable.

After thinking left and right, Li Hao said: "In this way, I am going to divide the current people into three detachments, and you will be responsible for one, and you will also be responsible for reconnaissance missions." ”

Chu Li immediately replied, "This is okay, I don't mean anything at all. ”

At this time, Hongyin ran back and said, "Boss, everyone is ready." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go west." Li Hao said.

After a moment of rectification, Li Hao marched forward with these 10,000 people, and he also divided the current 10,000 people into three armies, the first army was commanded by Hongyin, and the members were the original people; The command of the second army was Jia Lan, and the members were the remaining half, and the command of the third army was Qiu Li.

Li Hao and the others went all the way to the west, and after they walked west for half a day, the rebels knew from the prisoners last night that there was an army around, so they immediately sent a cavalry to pursue.

At the same time, the Ream army also inadvertently found Adam Mark in a forest, and learned from him that the army led by Li Hao was furious, and sent tens of thousands of people to pursue him.

……

After Li Hao and the others climbed over a hill, a city appeared in front of them, this city was originally a small city on the border of the Mick Empire, called Falling Moon City, and now it is a city of rebels.

"Boss, what do we do now? Is it to bypass the city? Hongyin asked.

Li Hao first looked at the people behind him and said, "Now we urgently need a batch of materials here, mainly food and water, and we must go to the city to replenish it." ”

"Boss, you mean to storm this city." Hongyin asked.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Yes, we will attack this city immediately, and after replenishing the urgent needs, we will leave here immediately." ”

Subsequently, Li Hao led them to attack this town. Since the city was poorly guarded, and they didn't defend it much, the city was quickly breached by them.

After the breach, Jia Lan was responsible for collecting food and water in the city, but Jia Lan found that the warehouse in the city was empty. When he had no choice, he had to choose to 'borrow' some from some large households, and when he left, he wrote an IOU from each family. This made Li Hao, who knew later, praised everyone and praised him for being polite.

After Li Hao broke the city, he looked for a shop called 'Fengxing Freight' everywhere on the street. Finally found it in a very small space.

Li Hao came here for two purposes, the first is to find out if there are any major events on the mainland that he doesn't know during this time, and the second is to write a letter to Feng Peide.

Li Hao was in a secret room in the 'Fengxing Freight' store and picked up a piece of information they sent. According to the intelligence, after Mick's rebels broke through Mick City, the establishment of the Kaizi Kingdom was announced the next day. And Bernie, the former chairman of the Mickty ** Committee? Orbat established himself as the first king.

After Li Hao saw this information, he was not surprised, the purpose of the rebellion was of course to establish a new country.

Then Li Hao searched for information about the current introduction of the situation in the western region, and after searching for a long time, he didn't find it, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

After going out of the wind and freight, they walked to the city gate, thinking that Jialan and they were already ready in the direction of the city gate at this time.

Sure enough, when Li Hao came to the city gate, he saw that they were all ready to go. But when he saw the faces of Qiu Li and the others, he felt uneasy.

"What are you doing? Why is the face so ugly. Li Hao asked after he passed.

Qiu Li hurriedly said: "Our rear wants a large group of cavalry to rush to us, and it is expected that they will be able to catch up with us in a few hours." ”

Li Hao was taken aback, he didn't expect them to come so quickly, and said to Jialan: "Do you have any way?" ”

Jia Lan said: "The other side is mainly cavalry, and the movement speed is very fast, so we can't take the flat road on the next road, there happens to be a mountain path over there, where can we go, so that the enemy's cavalry can't catch up with us." ”

Li Hao immediately agreed with this suggestion, the mountain trail can not only stop the enemy's cavalry, but also carry out ambush operations when the enemy army is about to catch up.

Then they quickly moved towards the mountain trail over there. The trail winds its way through the mountains, with steep cliffs on both sides and a width that can only be used by up to three people at a time.

An hour later, Qiu Li walked up from behind, found Li Hao who was moving forward, and said, "Boss, the pursuers behind seem to have given up their mounts and followed on foot. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, great, I thought they would choose to retreat after seeing this trail, but I didn't expect it to be automatically sent to the door, doesn't this give us a chance to ambush?" ”

Jia Lan also spoke next to him: "I think the same way, since they want to die, we can't live up to the good intentions of others." I propose to set up an ambush on the two hills ahead. ”

"Okay, Jialan, you can take someone to set up an ambush over there." Li Hao said.

"Yes," Jia Lan happily accepted the order.

After a while, under the command of Jia Lan, everyone lay in ambush on two small hills, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army. Just as they had waited for an hour or two, the shadow of the enemy army appeared in the distance.

Li Hao looked over there and saw that the enemy who was chasing this time was the Reem army. I guessed that the prince Adam Mark must have given the order to die, otherwise they would not have risked such a dangerous path.

A moment later, after the Reem army had entered a certain position, Jia Lan raised his right hand and made a gesture in the air. In an instant, the soldiers on the two hills began to shout frantically, the reason was to make the Reem army below tremble in their momentum and make them lose their morale.

Sure enough, just after they shouted, there was confusion among the Reem soldiers below. Then the people on the hill began to charge down the mountain, and the team of the Rem soldiers under the mountain was stretched out very long due to the road, and they could not form a fortification in time, and they were quickly cut into several pieces by Li Hao's people.

Li Hao did not rush down this time, but stood on the top of the mountain. Seeing that the battle situation is gradually developing towards his side, he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, after the situation is stable, a mysterious military investigation team will be established, and the members of this team are all secretly hidden in the positions of each army, and the main responsibility is to record the most courageous soldiers in each battle, so that those who have meritorious service will get their due rewards in the future, and those who have contributed cannot be left out in the cold by the commanders above.

After thinking about it, he looked at the people around him and felt that this weak scholar Ru Qingyuan was the most suitable for this job.

Half an hour later, near the end of the battle, Rem's army had been routed.

Hongyin and Jialan put their shoulders on their shoulders, walked back with a big laugh, and said to Li Hao: "Boss, it's too cool, those Rem troops are too weak." ”

Li Hao nodded at them, and then said loudly: "Okay, let's set off, and the goal is Ping'an City in the west." ”

Then, after cleaning up the battlefield, they moved on. And after several days of rapid marching, they finally reached the west. And in the past few days, the situation on the continent has also changed a lot, the Rem Kingdom announced that it was promoted to the Rem Empire, and the Mick Empire was demoted to the Mick Kingdom due to the weakening of the country.

Both the newly formed kingdom of Kaizi and the forced evacuation of the Mick kingdom are now battling for control of the northern regions of the former Mick Empire. Compared to the west, there are mountains and beasts, and there are two dangerous places in Mick, so I will ignore them for the time being.

Li Hao took 10,000 people to the outside of Ping'an City in the west, this city, Li Hao had been here before, and he had a little impression of it. The walls are not high, and there are no defenders, so they are basically three regardless of the three.

"Qiu Li, you take a few people in to check what the situation in the city is now." Li Hao ordered at Qiu Li.

"Yes."

A moment later, Qiu Li led a few people towards the city, while Li Hao and the others set up camp outside the city.

Just after Li Hao and the others set up the camp, Qiu Li and the others returned. And brought back about the current situation in Heian City.

Chu Li: "Boss, the reason why people in the city are already panicking is that we have been stationed outside the city. In addition, there has been no guards in this city, and now it is a guild that maintains law and order, called the Mercenary Guild. ”

After Li Hao heard this, he said silently in his heart: "Mercenary Guild? By the way, I also had a fight with them back then, and I don't know if they still remember me. ”

After Li Hao thought for a moment, he asked Jialan, "Do you think we should send troops into the city to take over here now?" ”

After thinking for a while, Jia Lan replied, "Boss, I think it's better to wait for one night, I believe that the guild in the city will definitely send a representative to come to us to find out the truth." ”

After hearing this, Li Hao also felt that it should be like this, and the first thing that came to mind was that everyone was very tired from the rapid march in the past few days, and if he went to take over the city now, and the guild did not cooperate, then he would have to use force. Watching his soldiers drag their tired bodies to meet the battle, the casualties will definitely increase.

"Okay, then let's go back and rest, and pay attention to the vigilance at night." Li Hao said.

At this time, in Ping'an City, there is a five-story building, which is the headquarters of the Mercenary Guild. Now, in a room on the top floor, the elders of the guild are sitting around a circular table discussing the army that has suddenly appeared outside the city.

The Mercenary Guild has a total of five elders, a full president, and two vice presidents. Yuan Songhong, the chairman of the city, said: "I think that the army outside the city is the remnants of the defeat of the original Mick Empire, and they have wandered to us, so there is no need to worry. ”

After hearing this, one of the vice presidents said worriedly: "How to say that there are more than 10,000 people on the other side, and we will still have a hard time fighting." ”

This talking vice president is called Geng Qingbai, he is already gray-haired, but his ambition is not small, he has always been a very scheming person, and he has personally formulated several plans in the past few years to defeat the Adventurer Guild.

Yuan Songhong has always been unpleasant to this Geng Qingbai, and always feels that he wants to grab the position of his president. So he laughed and said: "Vice President Geng, it's not right to say that, we have been here for several years, it turned out that the empire didn't send troops when it was strong, and now it is difficult to protect itself, how is this possible." Don't worry, just hand it over to my son Yuan Kui and ask him to take someone to drive those remnants away. ”

After hearing this, Geng Qingbai smiled but did not speak, and looked at the other people here, asking them to also express their meanings.

After seeing his eyes, everyone else expressed their opinions, some supported the chairman Yuan Songhong, and some supported the vice president Geng Qingbai. At first, the discussion was kind, but the more you get to the back, the more your voice hits, and in the end it's basically a scolding.

After a while, a person sitting in the middle suddenly said: "Then first send someone to the military camp outside the city to find out the truth, if their target is really this safe city, we will think of a way to deal with it, if they are just passing by, it is better to have more things, it is better to have less things." ”

This person's proposal, after a while, the people here basically agreed, and after discussion, it was decided that the person who went out to negotiate was Yuan Kui, the son of Vice President Geng Qingbai and President Yuan Songhong.

Just after the evening, Geng Qingbai and Yuan Kui went out of the city, came to the military camp outside the city, and successfully entered the military camp. At this time, Li Hao was already waiting for their arrival in the tent.

A moment later, Geng Qingbai and Yuan Kui walked into Li Hao's big tent, and Li Hao was still wearing the military uniform of the Great Counselor at this time.

Geng Qingbai saw that the other party was very young, and felt a little proud in his heart, stepped forward and said, "This chief, what should I call him?" ”

Li Hao first looked at the old man who spoke, the first image was that the old man was very kind, and then looked at a burly man behind him, feeling that this person was very familiar, and after a closer look, he remembered who this person was. This person is the one who wanted to rob Jessica to be his wife when he first came here.

And Yuan Kui, who was on the other side, recognized the person sitting on it at the first time as the person who came out to sabotage his good deeds last time. He was angry, but he immediately restrained himself, after all, this was his territory.

Li Hao: "You can call me Li Hao for the time being, and I hope you can call me the city lord in the future." ”

Li Hao's words were very direct and frank, and the two below were shocked in an instant, Yuan Kui couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "What are you, dare to be presumptuous here, wearing Mick's military uniform, I think it's amazing, now I'll tell you, I'm here to tell you to get out of here, otherwise the Mercenary Guild will destroy you directly." ”

Li Hao was not angry at his words, but smiled, and said to the old man in front of him: "It's time for you to tell me your own identity now." ”

Geng Qingbai was surprised just now, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "Geng Qingbai, vice president of the Mercenary Guild." ”

"Vice President? Hehe, do you want to be the president? Li Hao smiled.

Geng Qingbai was stunned and lost his mind, but he immediately noticed his gaffe and said: "The chief said that he laughed, my old bones, maybe I will go to the ground tomorrow, what else to talk about." ”

Li Hao just said it casually, and he didn't mean anything else. But Geng Qingbai's gaffe just now he saw it clearly, sneered in his heart, and said, "There is a play." ”

"Vice President Geng Qingbai, I'm just watching a joke, and I don't mean anything else. Turning back to the topic, I will directly state our purpose, and I have decided to enter Ping'an City tomorrow and be stationed here permanently. What is your attitude? Li Hao said.

"Our attitude is to drive you all away." Geng Qingbai hadn't spoken yet, and Yuan Kui in the back said first.

Geng Qingbai was particularly disgusted with this Yuan Kui, and robbed himself many times. At this time, Li Hao, who was also not used to seeing this man, finally couldn't stop this person's disrespectful words and stood up.

"I hate you standing in front of me, so in order for the world to be cleaner, you can go outside and stand for a while." After Li Hao finished speaking, he immediately shot a strong force and shot directly at Yuan Kui.

After a while, Yuan Kui couldn't block Li Hao's attack, and flew out of the tent in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the person in the way was finally gone, Li Hao sat back and said to Geng Qingbai, "Okay, continue our conversation." ”

After Geng Qingbai saw him sit back in his seat, he said, "Do you know who the person you just hit is?" You're going to get in trouble. ”

Li Hao said: "I already have a lot of troubles, so I don't recommend one more." ”

Geng Qingbai smiled, and then said: "In that case, I have nothing to say, our guild will not let you take over Ping'an City so easily." ”

"Hehe, I also know that this will not be easy, so I decided to attack the city tomorrow." Li Hao said.

"It seems that our battle is inevitable." Gengqing Bai Road.

"If you say that, that's it, but in the end it's all the same, you'll be kicked out by us." Li Hao said with a smile.

After Geng Qingbai heard this, he didn't think it: "You are still too young, he admits that you have a lot of people, but sometimes it is not the number of people who decide the outcome of the battle, but also depends on the strength of the province." ”

"Yo, do you think you're strong? Our side is not an opponent. Li Hao asked.

"Yes, the number of people on our side is not as large as on your side, but the strength of the people on our side should be above yours, especially the duel between the high-level leaders." After Geng Qingbai finished speaking, he looked at Li Hao with a sneer.

After Li Hao saw his eyes, he understood that he must have thought that the strength of the only one was very poor and he was not their opponent. Another implication is that they can easily take out all the high-level leaders on their side.

"Haha, your idea is great, but ......"

"But what?"

"But with the wrong person, you're nothing in my eyes."

After Li Hao finished speaking, in order to prove his strength in front of him, he decided to convince him here. The fighting qi of the whole body immediately operated, and in an instant, the surrounding energy began to fluctuate.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to hit me here? Geng Qingbai asked a little worriedly.

Li Hao said: "Don't worry, I'm the only one to make a move." ”

Geng Qingbai watched him say such a sentence, laughing at his ignorance, and the idea of teaching him a lesson here also rose in his heart.

"In that case, I'll take a look at the strength of the chief." Gengqing Bai Road.

Geng Qingbai also began to run the fighting qi around him, and the energy fluctuations around him were obviously above Li Hao.

But Li Hao didn't care about this at all, he rushed towards him, and hit him in the face with a fist with his right hand. And Geng Qingbai's head was sideways, and his left hand clasped Li Hao's right fist. "Young man, I eat with my face, and it's very embarrassing for me to do this." ”

Li Hao looked at him and smirked, then his body changed his posture in the air, and his right leg kicked out from top to bottom, and the target was still his face.

Geng Qingbai's right hand blocked his head and hit Li Hao's right foot.

There was a crisp sound of "bang", and Geng Qingbai felt a strong force coming from his right hand. I was very surprised, and immediately threw it upwards vigorously. Li Hao's body spun in the air and stood firm not far from him.

Geng Qingbai said: "It's not bad, it's much better than I thought." ”

Li Hao said: "I just finished warming up, I'm going to do it now." ”

After the words were closed, Li Hao rushed forward again, this time he used the fighting energy of his whole body, and an invisible air pressure appeared around him.

Geng Qingbai saw him rushing up again, and immediately punched accordingly.

"Bang" was another crashing sound. After this collision, Geng Qingbai took several steps back in a row and stood at the door of the tent.

"Here I go again." Li Hao kicked on one foot on the spot, and then charged.

Geng Qingbai had just eaten a punch from him, and felt that the power was not under him from this punch, so he no longer reserved his housekeeping skills, spread his right hand, raised it sideways, and waved it in the air like a knife. Then a knife-shaped fighting spirit rushed towards Li Hao.

Li Hao was startled, and immediately jumped upward, trying to dodge this knife-shaped fighting qi, but just when he just jumped into the air, the knife-shaped fighting qi turned ninety degrees like he had eyes, and rushed at him again. (To be continued.) )
