Chapter 131: Reinforcements
As soon as the new army entered the battlefield, the situation became clear in an instant. I saw www.biquge.info rebels retreating under the attack of the regular army and the rain army, and they had no power to fight back. Soon the soldiers gave up their resistance, threw away their armor and fled.
At this moment, in the enemy camp, Qiushui and the swordsman were all ragged and scarred, and it seemed that after a battle, the two did not distinguish the winner. Just as they were about to continue fighting, they found a large number of deserters pouring in.
"It seems that the victory and defeat on the battlefield have been decided, and there is no point in us continuing to fight, so you better run for your life. Qiushui waved his hand, not knowing why he said this. The swordsman wanted to continue to say something, but after looking at the situation on the battlefield, he finally put away the knife in his hand, and his body turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night.
"If you have a chance in the future, you will have to fight it out. Qiushui smiled, and then quickly left the place, returning to his own camp. Soon, the remnants of the rebels were wiped out, and in order to prevent them from returning, Haodong took his troops to a safe high ground before allowing the soldiers to recuperate, especially those who were wounded and needed urgent medical treatment. And at this moment, a man wearing a yellow robe with a sharp face rode a horse to Haodong and arched his hand: "Ma Liang, the general of the Third Army and the temporary deputy captain of the Yancheng Guard, has seen Marshal Haodong. ”
Haodong also hurriedly replied: "Polite, General Ma, how did you know that we were trapped here by the rebels?"
"That's right, we got the news that your army will arrive in Hongta City first to support. So we sent a letter to Lu Zhong and asked him to take appropriate measures to entertain him. But the strange thing is that Hongta City has not replied for a long time, and Emperor Yan felt strange, so he sent me to lead the army to check it out. Sure enough, Lu Zhong had already surrendered to the rebels, and fled in a hurry as soon as he saw the troops coming. We grabbed a few soldiers, asked about the whereabouts of your army, and then arranged the strength of the guards in the Red Tower City, and then hurried here, but between going back and forth, the time was delayed, I am really sorry. After speaking, he also asked his subordinates to bring an iron box, opened it and saw that it was Lu Zhong's head.
"Then may I ask General Ma, what should we ...... next?"
Ma Liang smiled: "Naturally, you will go back to Yancheng with me, but since you have just finished the battle, you will camp here first, rest for a night, and then set off tomorrow." I came this time with some local wine, and I happened to get drunk with the marshal. ”
So that night, the armies of both sides held a grand celebration ceremony, and after several days of high-intensity fighting, everyone released their suppressed emotions, and saw the camp singing and dancing, and it was very lively. The third group of people also gathered together, tasting the local wheat wine brought by Ma Liang, and eating the roasted fragrant, yellow mutton.
"This time we can win, Qiushui has made a great contribution, come, we toast you!" Lin Lin stood up and said with a wine glass. Everyone else also responded, causing Qiushui to scratch his head, a little embarrassed for a while.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, I'll replace the wine with a leg of mutton, and I'll do it first!" As he spoke, Qiushui put a fragrant leg of mutton into his mouth and chewed it with a chirp.
"Oh, where did you go during the war?" asked Boshu as he spoke. Qiushui ignored him, eating non-stop by himself, and hiccups from time to time, looking heartless.
"Where's the team leader?" Lin Lin looked around, but didn't see Cao Ming's figure. Suddenly, a pair of hands were placed on her shoulders, startling her.
"What's the matter, it's still invisible to eat, it's sick!" With a burst of scolding, everyone laughed. The night was exceptionally beautiful, but there were still many difficult battles waiting for them on this land.
The next day, the two troops were on their way. Since the soldiers were already mentally sufficient, the speed of the march was also greatly improved. Yancheng is not located in the center of Yanguo, but in the northeast, it is only a few days' journey from Hongta City. Along the way, the army passed through many war-abandoned towns, deserted except for the cold corpses on the road, telling of the tragic past that had happened here.
"Because the rebels are coming down from the north, many parts of the area have been affected. Some of the larger areas, such as the area around Hongta City, became a base for the rebels, while many more became deserted cities like this. However, many people have been evacuated in advance, and most of them have been relocated to safer areas in the south. Maleonn explained. Haodong nodded, he knew something about the cruelty of war. It's just that it's often the innocent people who are defenseless who bear the brunt first.
In the process of marching, they also encountered several small rebel troops, but due to the huge gap in numbers, many of them directly gave up resistance and fled, and some were not afraid of death, of course, they were directly wiped out by the army. In this way, after about six days, the army finally came to the outside of Yancheng.
Due to the limited space in the city, a large number of soldiers camped in the open area outside Yancheng, and only Haodong and the members of the special operations team followed Ma Liang into the city. The style here is very different from that of Rain City, with domed buildings and broad-leaved plants everywhere, and the streets are wide, perhaps because the war has not yet spread to the area, and there are still many people who set up stalls in the streets to sell their goods. As soon as Lin Lin saw those sparkling jewelry, her eyes straightened, and she shouted to buy it, and only after Qiushui said that she agreed to put the matter aside for the time being.
"This is the Flame God Palace. Ma Liang pointed to a huge gourd-shaped building in front of him. In front of the building, there is a square, on which there is a statue of a man more than ten meters high, lifelike under the illumination of the lamp, presumably the legendary founding ancestor of the fire god.
Under the leadership of Ma Liang, Haodong and others entered the palace. It is divided into three floors, the first floor is the conference hall, which is where Emperor Yan usually handles government affairs. As soon as he walked in, Qiushui felt an indescribable burning sensation, and when he looked up, above the front hall, there was actually a middle-aged man with red hair, a rough face, and a fire-patterned armor, and what was even more surprising was that from this angle, his height was at least three meters or more!
"Hahahaha, you're finally here, sit down!" a heroic voice sounded, echoing through the hall.
