Chapter 414: Late Night Conflict
The superintendent also went to the front and spoke to the multitude,
"One thing to add, everyone listens, if you disobey the military order, you will be fined and confiscated military merit points; The elf that trapped the hourglass. So, if you want to win the battle for supremacy in the Imperial City, don't back down. Now those who are willing to accept this task can go there and leave their names, and I will record them one by one. ”
"May I ask the Supervisor, if something happens outside of the mission, we refuse, it is not considered disobeying military orders," one of the contestants asked.
"No, but after the help is completed, you can get additional military merits, and you can decide at your own discretion. The regulator replied.
"If something unexpected happens to a mission that we can't complete, can we still get military merit points?" asked another contestant.
"Of course not, if the task is not completed, it is impossible for the Military Aircraft Government to reward military merits. The Supervision Department will give military merit points according to military merit. Therefore, pray for good luck and do not have any accidents, otherwise your hard work will be in vain. The regulator replied.
No matter how much they had any problems, they were willing to accept the mission and left their names on the roster. Wei Wuji also left his name and participated in the mission with the others.
Next, Wei Wuji and everyone followed Wu Zhen out of the city and ran in the direction of the granary.
Along the way, Wei Wuji saw a lot of grain trucks, busy transporting grain. It seems that Chifeng City was really caught off guard this time, the barbarians came too quickly, and before the battle began, they fell into passivity.
The fifty-mile journey is nothing to the contestants, and they arrived at the location of the granary in half an hour.
The granary is a fortified castle with fires and swords on all four walls, especially striking in the dark. In the wilderness around the fortress, there were also some troops who put up defensive battle formations, wearing helmets and armor, and waiting for the battle.
And the people who transported the food, in addition to some soldiers, also temporarily recruited ordinary people in Chifeng City. These people went in and out like ants, carrying grain on carts, and hurried in the direction of Chifeng City.
Wu Zhen asked everyone to wait on the side of the road first, and then went to see the general in charge.
In less than a moment, Wu Zhen walked back from the castle and brought two pieces of news to everyone.
First, the barbarian advance was more than thirty miles away from here, and second, the people could not enter the castle, but could only defend in the field, and they had to be prepared to meet the enemy at any time.
After galloping for more than 50 miles, everyone also felt a little tired, but they couldn't enter the castle to rest, so they could only defend in the field, and they were a little disappointed in their hearts. However, the task was like this, and everyone had no complaints, and followed Wu Zhen to the defense near the castle.
Wu Zhen was proficient in the art of war, and divided the people into eight teams, each team was incorporated into his own personal soldiers for easy mastery, and then camped and armed, taking turns to rest. There was food in the castle, and he took some with them, set up a cauldron in the camp, lit a firewood, boiled it steamingly, and distributed it among the people.
In the middle of the night, the chill grew heavier and snowflakes drifted in the sky. Bonfires crackled and burned all around, and sparks soared upwards into the night, forcing the snow to drift away.
Changing the guard, Wei Wuji and other ten contestants followed a sergeant to the edge of the camp. The sergeant knew that everyone was a contestant, different from the soldiers, and he did not have too many requirements for everyone, but only assigned sentries in groups of three, so that everyone should not be careless and be vigilant against enemy attacks.
Wei Wuji took two contestants and guarded the intersection. After a while, a group of sergeants, about ten horses, galloped towards this direction.
Wei Wuji walked to the middle of the road and stretched out his hand to stop him, and the other two companions also followed.
"We are ordered by the general, pass through here, you quickly give way" The person who came was not dressed in the same armor as ordinary sergeants, and when he saw someone blocking the road, he shouted loudly.
"We don't know what the general's order is, if you want to pass by, please take a detour. Wei Wuji said.
"Wait for the soldiers of He Battalion, can't you see our armor and clothing clearly, dare to obstruct the official trip of the Chifeng Flying Tiger Battalion, and give Lao Tzu a dodge reads; Beast, let go of the queen," a knight next to him scolded loudly.
"Hehe, you dare to offend the Flying Tiger Battalion, you must be impatient," the other knight smirked.
Wei Wuji stood in the middle of the field, looking at each other coldly, not letting in the slightest. The two companions behind him also stepped forward and stood in a row with Wei Wuji, with a sneer on their faces.
"What's going on, why is it stopping here?"
More than twenty knights came from behind, and one knight at the head came up to inquire. Behind them, three more wagons, loaded with baggage.
"Lord Qiqi, there are three sergeants who block and prevent you from passing. One of the knights replied.
"The military situation is urgent, there is no delay, take it for me" The man led by him ordered loudly.
"Yes," several knights were ordered to come on horseback.
A knight rushed in front of Wei Wuji, drew his sword and jumped up, his body volleyed down, and attacked Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji took a step back, avoided the attack, raised his hand and grabbed it, pinched the opponent's wrist, and with a slight flick, the body of the slamming knight drew an arc in mid-air and slammed into the ground.
"If you're not afraid of death, please come up. ”
Wei Wuji spoke, but his hands were not idle, and he reached out, and another knight who attacked was grabbed by him and stepped on his feet.
The other two companions, who were also the strength of the late stage of the Eight Heavens, knocked all the knights who rushed up to the ground on the other side.
"Who the hell are you" The other man's face was horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
Wei Wuji stepped forward, and the true power of qi and blood in his body was stimulated, like a river bursting its embankment, spreading in all directions. The two companions also stood beside Wei Wuji, spreading their qi and blood might.
The opponent's war horse was suddenly suppressed by the true power of the three people's qi and blood, and the front hooves were raised high in fright, and they let out a long neigh. The two knights on the horse, unprepared for a moment, fell to the ground.
"You, you"
The man looked at the strength of the three of them, unable to speak, and the faces of all the others changed greatly.
At this time, the sergeant who led the team heard the movement and walked over with the other seven contestants. He looked at the other party and asked with a smile: "It turned out to be all of you from the Flying Tiger Battalion, I don't know what you have to do."
"We have official business, and you are too bold to stop us when we want to pass through here," the man said loudly.
"I'm sorry, but our order is to defend this place and not let anyone pass. I can't make the decision, or I will report to General Wu and let him decide" The sergeant did not have the toughness of Wei Wuji and the others, and hurriedly said.
"Then don't go quickly," the man shouted at the sergeant.
The sergeant turned and hurried towards the tent.
After a while, Wu Zhen rushed to the scene and gave up his hand with a smile, "The last general, Wu Zhen, is ordered to guard this place, and everyone in the Flying Tiger Battalion has to pass through here, but there is a general's token."
The man snorted coldly, took out the token from his arms, and gestured to Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen took it and looked at it, nodded, and returned it to the man, "If you had shown the token earlier, maybe there would have been no such conflict." ”
"General Wu, don't hurry up and give way," the man retracted the token and said in a deep voice.
"Brothers, don't worry," Wu Zhen said with a smile, waving his hand for Wei Wuji and the others to dodge.
"Don't get in the way, thank you General Wu for your concern, say goodbye" The man and the others got on their horses, and the carriage was behind and passed through the camp forward
