Chapter 13 Longhua City
Longhua City is an important frontier city in the Xia Kingdom, don't look at Longhua City is an important frontier city, often wars, but the more frequent wars occur, it also represents huge business opportunities, isn't there an old saying, what is the best money to make? Therefore, Longhua City is very prosperous, and Longhua City is also relatively less wars than Yunzhong City, because Longhua City has the existence of the first fierce army of the Xia Kingdom, the Tiger Regiment, and the general battles between the Xia Kingdom and the Winter Kingdom rarely lead to a war in Longhua City, after all, there are still two lines of defense from Longhua City.
The thick city walls of four or five zhang high, the walls that cannot be seen at a glance have blocked the attacks of the thousands of troops and horses of the Winter Kingdom, and the dark red on the city walls seems to tell the world about their history.
"General, it's windy here, your injuries haven't healed, so you'd better go back to your home to recuperate. Wang Hu said respectfully to the man standing proudly on the city wall.
Qin Xiaotian retracted his gaze from afar, and said with a trace of emotion on his face: "Wang Hu, do you think that kid can get out and come back?"
Wang Hu didn't expect his general to ask this question, and he was stunned for a while, but he reacted immediately and immediately responded: "General, the chief of staff will definitely be able to return." ”
"Hehe!" Qin Xiaotian smiled bitterly a few times, and said with a cold look on his face: "If there is anything unexpected for Brother Zhang this time, I will definitely ask Liu Mingsheng to bury that kid with Brother Zhang." ”
Wang Hu couldn't help but shudder when he heard his general's words, he didn't have any doubts about his general's words, the reason why the four brothers followed his general so much, the reason was that he admired his general's spirit of loving soldiers like sons, he believed that if Staff Officer Zhang and the more than 1,000 soldiers were wiped out this time, his general would inevitably kill General Liu first at the risk of being beheaded by the emperor.
"Huh!" Qin Xiaotian suddenly let out a surprised sound.
After Wang Hu heard his general's surprised voice, he found that his general's expression seemed to be a little excited, and he looked at the place where his general was looking, and his expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised, because he found that a small team of about dozens of people appeared thousands of kilometers away from Longhua City, and the people of these teams were wearing the uniforms of the Tiger Regiment, but these people seemed to be chasing after some wild beasts.
"Soldiers of the Winter Kingdom?" Taking Qin Xiaotian's cultivation as a natural thing, he saw at a glance the clothing symbol on the chasing soldier that appeared behind his own side of the horse, and it was actually a soldier of the Winter Kingdom.
"General. ”
When Wang Hu heard the words from his general's mouth, his expression suddenly tightened.
"Wang Hu, immediately take the first brigade of cavalry out to meet these people, don't let these brothers suffer any accidents, as for those chasing soldiers, you have to entertain them well. Qin Xiaotian said with a cold face.
"Yes, General. Wang Hu immediately replied loudly, and the next moment he didn't care about any steps, he jumped directly from the high city wall, and after waving his hand, a well-equipped cavalry immediately followed him and marched quickly outside the city, quickly meeting a small team of oncoming troops.
"Tick tock!" The earth shook, and thousands of horses were trolling, and you must know how shocking it was when ten thousand horses stepped on the ground.
"Damn, what are these Winter Kingdom soldiers stimulating? Grandma, Lao Tzu didn't kill your leader, he actually bit me to death, I grass!" Wang Xiaohu cursed with an unhappy face, if he knew that his chief of staff had killed all the captains, squad leaders, and squad leaders of this detachment, then he would not be so depressed.
"Captain, you see, it's Vice Wang who will pick us up. A deputy captain of the squad exclaimed with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brothers, Vice Wang will take us in the future, work hard, quickly. ”
Dozens of people who were originally tired heard their captain's words, and their spirits were suddenly shocked, as if they had drunk some Popeye, and their running pace accelerated a little in an instant, and they opened a short distance from the pursuers behind them.
A kilometer is just a short distance for the cavalry, and Wang Hu, who rushed to the front, saw that the soldiers of the Winter Kingdom actually did not flee to continue the pursuit after seeing the cavalry on his side, and suddenly a wave of anger surged in his heart, and he immediately drew the spear next to the war horse and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!" A fully formed cavalry brigade following behind Wang Hu raised their spears and echoed: "Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" 10,000 people shouted in unison, as loud as thunder.
"Huhuhu!!" Wang Xiaohu and the others collapsed on the ground when their cavalry passed by, gasping for breath, the sleepless rapid march had already made them lose their strength, if it weren't for the pursuers behind them, they couldn't hold on at all.
The two streams of people collided together, and in an instant, the sound of weapons colliding sounded, and streams of blood splashed up in the void, and one figure after another fell down.
One side is energetic and fighting, the other side is a tired army, not to mention that in the case of the disparity in strength between the two sides, the results of the battle between the two sides naturally do not need words, in less than a stick of incense, the cavalry led by Wang Hu slaughtered all the about 4,000 men and horses of the Winter Kingdom under the knife.
On the city wall of Longhua City, Qin Xiaotian quietly watched the battle thousands of kilometers away, and muttered with a cold face: "Liu Mingsheng, it's good, this account has been written down." ”
Qin Xiaotian knew very well in his heart that if the soldiers of the Winter Kingdom wanted to reach Longhua City as soon as possible, they would have to pass through the Longmen Pass Trail, and Longmen Pass was the place where Liu Mingsheng was stationed.
"Meet the General. Wang Xiaohu and dozens of others saluted towards Qin Xiaotian in unison.
When Qin Xiaotian saw that there was no Zhang Huaming among Wang Xiaohu's dozens of figures, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "What about your chief of staff? What about Vice General Wang Xiong?"
"Back to the general's words, we were ordered by the chief of staff to divide into ten squads and retreat, and Vice General Wang and the chief of staff went all the way. Wang Xiaohu responded loudly.
"Divide into ten teams and retreat?" Qin Xiaotian was stunned when he heard Wang Xiaohu's response, not only he was stunned, but even the three Wang Hu brothers who were standing behind him were also stunned, because they initially thought that Wang Xiaohu's dozens of people were the only surviving small team of more than 1,000 people who were left behind.
"Yes, General, we are only one of ten squads. Wang Xiaohu responded loudly.
Qin Xiaotian's spirit was shocked, if according to the subordinates in front of him, this time after the thousand people were broken, they actually lost less than three layers? How could this be? And at this moment, he found an important problem, that is, the dozens of people in front of him seemed to have changed, right, that kind of momentum? Murderous aura, that's right, very strong murderous aura, he fully believed that although the dozens of people in front of him were very tired at the moment, if they met an opponent of the same number head-on, then it must be these exhausted people who won, because they had an aura that other soldiers could not have.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the general's words, Wang Xiaohu is small. ”
"Wang Xiaohu?" Qin Xiaotian frowned slightly, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a member of my guards?"
"Back to the general's words, Xiao De was a member of the guards under the general's command at the beginning. Wang Xiaohu said with a touched expression, he couldn't believe that he was just one of the hundreds of guards and would be remembered by the general, what an honor!
"Have you broken through recently?" Qin Xiaotian showed a trace of doubt on his face, if he remembered correctly, only three squad leaders in his guard army were high-level martial artist cultivators, while most of the others were beginner and middle-level cultivators, but the subordinate in front of him was a high-level martial artist cultivator, and the aura fluctuations on his body were very chaotic, there was no doubt that he was naturally a person who had just broken through.
"Back to the general's words, it is indeed small that he has just broken through. ”
"Yes, that's good. Qin Xiaotian praised with a look of appreciation on his face, and the next moment he said with a playful expression on his face: "Wang Xiaohu, are you willing to come back to the Guards as the team leader?"
"Woh!" Wang Xiaohu never thought that his general would suddenly throw such a big olive branch out to him, and he was stunned for a moment, you must know that the level of the squad leader in the Guards is equivalent to the level of the captain in the regular army, what is the Guards? It is composed of elites selected from thousands of troops, not that ordinary people say that they can enter it, and there is a special name in the Guards, that is, the reserve officer replenishment base, which means that people who generally go out of the Guards can at least serve as captains in the regular army.
After the expression on Wang Xiaohu's face changed several times, he finally showed a smile on his face and bowed to Qin Xiaotian and said, "Thank you for the general's love, it's too small to accept the general's love." ”
"Woh!" The three brothers Wang Hu were stunned, they must know that there are very few opportunities for their generals to throw such an olive branch, and the three brothers did not expect Wang Xiaohu to refuse so simply, what is going on?
Qin Xiaotian seemed to have known that Wang Xiaohu would refuse him, and waved his hand with a smile on his face and said: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, Wang Xiaohu, I see that you are also tired, you take your brothers to the second war zone to reorganize the army, and I will have someone send the required supplies later." ”
"Yes, General, my subordinates retire. ”
After Wang Hu waited for Wang Xiaohu and the others to get down the city wall, he said with a puzzled face: "General, how can they ????"
"Hehe, Xiaohuzi, and the two of you, are you very puzzled about why that kid just now rejected the olive branch I toss?" Qin Xiaotian looked at his three generals with a smile on his face.
"Yes. The three brothers nodded with expressions waiting for an answer.
"Hehe!" Qin Xiaotian smiled, his eyes looked into the distance, and after a while, he left a sentence and left, leaving the three brothers Wang Hu touching their heads and staying on the city wall with a puzzled expression.
"If that kid took my olive branch just now, then I'm too disappointed in that kid from Staff Officer Zhang, haha!"
It wasn't until a year later that the three brothers Wang Hu understood the true meaning of their general's words, but by that time, the three of them deeply regretted it and deeply envied their fourth brother.
