Chapter 43: Lies Repeated

readx;“ Four words, bold and careful. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In the night, Su Wen patted Chang Qing's shoulder and entered his tent.

Qu Jianhong also returned to his tent, and casually called the trainee knight outside the door in: "Ah Lang come here, help me prepare the battle armor, I'll sleep for a while, and after two hours, you wake me up, help me put on the armor, and then you can rest." In between, there was time to help me wipe the hammer clean. ”

As a descendant of a family and a person from Tongyun Pass, Amy recommended Ah Lang to Qu Jianhong as a trainee knight out of responsible considerations, and after the age of 16, he could be promoted to a formal knight, and if he had meritorious service, he could directly become an imperial nobleman.

"Huh?" the 14-year-old boy was stunned: "Your Excellency, if there is a war at night, can you let me participate in it too?"

"Oh, you're thinking too much, it's my turn to be on duty tonight, you don't have to follow, you have to rest tomorrow. Qu Jianhong turned over twice on the bed: "Do you see that there is a cloth bag on my bed?"

"Is that it?" Ah Lang pulled out a deflated bag from the deepest part of the sleeping bag.

"Thanks, throw on the bed, and help me find another riddle - I wanted it last year and this year. Qu Jianhong fell on the bed and soon fell asleep.

It turned out that the expeditionary force was too cautious, and that night it was calm, and there was not even a single cicada in the whole forest, and it was quiet.

In the afternoon of the next day, exactly as Elder Qingluo had predicted, the expeditionary force really saw the man-made swamp, and this section of muddy road was more than 10 miles long.

Fortunately, the foundation of the mainland highway is one meter above the ordinary ground, there is a drainage ditch on each side, and there are stone bridges and approach bridges on the river, so the illegal dam and lake construction did not bring destruction to the mainland highway.

Qingluo and a few other Jing Ling drove the wild vulture to carefully inspect the northern water system of the Sanggan River, it is now late autumn, most of the boundary forests are broad-leaved trees, the cold wind is everywhere, and the leaves are all yellow and red. Within 20 miles, there was nothing unusual in the surroundings, Qingluo took the forest spirit and flew out more than 80 miles to the east in one breath, and only returned to the expeditionary force in the evening.

Su Wen has commanded the expeditionary force to set up camp, for the sake of safety, the entire camp relies on the mainland road and the west swamp to build, according to Su Wen's idea, unless it is the Golden Four Clans, no other human can quickly pass through the swamp, so the three directions of the southeast and north are used as the main defense points.

Everyone, including Chi Aotian, was waiting for news from Qingluo - it was like returning to the Flower Language Plain, where in war, a good scout was even more important than a good general.

"Elder, is there anything unusual?" Chang Qingxian couldn't hold his breath.

Qingluo's face fluttered inexplicably, and he shook his head slightly: "No, nothing, it's very quiet within 20 miles around." To the east, we flew all the way to the circular waterway, about 100 miles from here, there was indeed a war, and it was indeed a siege war, I wanted to get closer, but then more than a dozen phantom beast knights flew below, and then they used their bed crossbows, and had to retreat. In the evening, I will send Jing Ling on duty again. ”

According to Qingluo's knowledge of Professor Benjamin, the professor rarely made a mistake in divination.

"In other words, if we are fast, we will be able to break the siege tomorrow afternoon?" Qu Jianhong was draped all over his body, and his two one-handed sharp-beaked hammers leaned on his left and right.

"It can be understood in this way, however, maybe it is not big, and the enemies besieging the city are estimated to be tens of thousands, in the boundary forest, as long as they send two or three thousand men and horses to block the mainland road, or simply cut the mainland road, there are trees in all directions, we must attack ......" Qingluo smiled bitterly and shook his head again.

"That'...... Why don't we set a fire to it? Qu Jianhong showed a wicked smile on his face: "Elder, don't be angry, these trees can grow better after they are burned, I heard some time ago that after Lanshan and Fanshui were burned, just a year has passed, and now they are lush again." ”

"I'm not angry, as long as you're not afraid to burn yourself to death, whatever you want. Qingluo muttered in his heart, set fire in this dense forest? Now the northwest wind is blowing, and the fire is together, and the first unlucky one is the expeditionary force! No matter how fast the speed of the mount is, can it compare with the wind?

"Alright, no more talk. Su Wen stood up and ended the conversation, and the old soldier felt really tired again, if there should be so much black-robed Ta Yang, where to use himself to hurt this brain, just throw it all to Ta Yang: "It's the last two or three days, don't sleep too hard at night, Qingluo, Chang Qing, the two of you are on duty today." ”

After nightfall, the icy northwest wind blew again, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and in the second half of the night, the huge constellation of Orion in the southern sky flashed with a cold cold light.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Chang Qing passed by Qu Jianhong's big tent for the fourth time, and this time, not only did the tent not turn off the lights, but the young Grand Duke actually carried a one-handed hammer outside the door to give the earth Xinglongle a belt.

"Oh...... My butt was bleeding, and it hurt so much that I couldn't sleep. I've discovered a trick in the past few days, when marching during the day, I put on all my armor neatly, and by relying on the bracket of the armor, I can completely fall asleep on the back of the earth-walking dragon - of course, it must be very sleepy, and this has the added advantage that when I fall asleep, I don't feel any pain. ”

Qu Jianhong bared his teeth and said as if it were true or false.

Neuropathy! Chang Qing muttered in his heart, these words are going to deceive the ghost, right? I can't sleep at night because of the pain, but I sleep during the day when I ride a horse to relieve the pain?

"What's the matter?"

"Hmm...... Is there something that must happen when I am on duty to be happy?" Chang Qing took his mount around Qu Jianhong twice, and now Chang Qing also has the title of hereditary imperial nobleman: "Just now, Qingluo's predecessors went around a few more times over the old forests in the south and north, and found nothing, if nothing else, I will escape today, and when you turn around, if you can't sleep at night, I will definitely help you tell you twice." ”

Watching Chang Qing gradually move away, Qu Jianhong pulled down the face guard, put the one-handed hammer on his shoulder, and led the mount to inspect the southwest.

In fact, this is not Qu Jianhong's concern alone, most of the middle and high-ranking officers from the Black Dragon Knights can't sleep well after entering the Boundary Forest - who knows when the Jungle Knight will be killed?

At the junction of the two theaters of Tongyunguan and Jielin, there were no fewer exercises in peacetime, and although the sprint speed of those dog riders was not fast, they were really synonymous with elusiveness and invincibility in the forest area. I haven't heard of a single unit that has defeated the same number of Jungle Knights in the forest.

Which side the Jungle Knight will be on? It's estimated that it will be opened in five or five. If there is no Prince of Tiedu, there is a rebellion in the Empire, and the position of the Jungle Knights is needless to say. However, His Royal Highness Prince Tiedu had served in the Boundary Forest Theater for several years before going to the Northern Federation to sit in the town, and he also served as the chief officer of the Third Brigade of the Jungle Knights.

"Nearly 10,000 Jungle Jingrui Knights ......" Qu Jianhong patrolled the empty camp, and a chill ran in his heart. In addition to the soldiers on duty in the camp, the snoring of the mountains and tsunamis came from all the tents, including the war horses, who stood next to the tethered horse stakes and snorted. Qu Jianhong really wanted to go into every tent and wake everyone inside, but he knew that he didn't have the right to do so...... After five or six days of rapid marching, he was a high-ranking officer, with all kinds of special care, and he was too tired to move. If you wake everyone up this evening, tomorrow's march will inevitably be discounted, and tomorrow night you will be so tired that even the soldiers on duty will fall asleep standing up.

Therefore, it is a detour, and the temptation is to benefit, and the descendants will send it, and the ancestors will come, and those who know the right plan are also. Military contention is for profit, and military contention is dangerous. It is not enough to raise the army and compete for profit, and if the army is commissioned and strive for profit, it will be a heavy donation. Therefore, the roll of the armor and the trend, the night is not everywhere, double the road and the road, a hundred miles and strive for profit, then capture three generals, the strength first, the tired last, the law eleven and come; fifty miles and fight for profit, then the general, the law half to; thirty miles and fight for profit, then two-thirds to. Qu Jianhong suddenly remembered that when he was still in the Imperial High Knight School, he taught him "The Art of War", alas...... Since the formation of the expeditionary force, there has not been a day when it has not traveled in the night and night...... Just as Qu Jianhong thought of this, the black Sè Dixinglong under the seat suddenly raised his head, and a pair of fist-sized pointed ears trembled in the air...... The young Grand Duke's face instantly became solemn, and regardless of the armor weighing dozens of catties on his body, he jumped off the mount, took out a 10-centimeter-long sycamore wood earpiece from his arms, and lay on the ground to listen carefully...... Underground, there seemed to be thousands of ants in a meeting, and the sound of Xi Xi was loud.

"Enemy attack! enemy attack!" Qu Jianhong roared and jumped up, turned over and jumped onto the earth.

The soldiers on duty were stunned for a moment before they reacted and desperately blew the horn of the enemy attack!

On the ninth day of January in the eighth winter of the Magic Calendar, the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force was ambushed in the Boundary Forest, and in the vast Boundary Forest, several troops, which were originally in a hostile state, invariably adopted the method of "non-confrontation and cooperation" to besiege the Expeditionary Force - the crisis of the annihilation of the whole army came again after a year.

Fortunately, the departure of Professor Benjamin is enough to show the seriousness of the situation, and Su Wen, who is in charge of the Chinese army, has already clearly ordered all troops to sit on their backs!

Within two breaths of the trumpet of the enemy's attack, all the lanterns and torches were extinguished, and the whole camp was plunged into darkness.

"Adult, adult, what should I do?" Ah Lang was just about to lie down and sleep after finishing cleaning up for Qu Jianhong, when he rushed out in confusion, and the little boy was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Qu Jianhong stretched out his hand and pulled down the face guard, and his voice came out from behind the face guard, with a cold metal smell: "Follow me, go to the east gate first!"

Now there is a swamp to the west of the camp, and even if there are jungle knights among the rebels, they should attack from the east, south, and north - there are jungle knights, but I have never heard of a swamp knight. After the expeditionary force returned to Moyada, they also went to see the Marsh Fortifications of Daqingshan Swamp in the north of the Sanggan River, and they were all breathtaking, and no one could think of any way except for the flying knights.

At that time, some officers joked that if a 500-meter swamp area was dug out on both sides of Tongyun Pass, it would be really impregnable. Immediately, someone followed: "Nonsense, why do you say that it is solid, the soup is the water in this swamp." ”

As soon as Qu Jianhong and Ah Lang rushed to the east gate, they heard the sound of fluttering on the mainland highway opposite! Qu Jianhong had been on the battlefield for a long time and immediately heard it: This was a unique sound made after wrapping the hooves of a war horse in soft felt.

The Grand Duke didn't have time to say a word, and the knight on the opposite side also noticed the abnormal change in the camp of the expeditionary force, and a dense scream like raindrops instantly came out of the sky!

"Shield!" Qu Jianhong just shouted, and Bai Sè's arrow feathers fell desperately like thatch in the wind! Qu Jianhong turned the head of the ground line slightly, dozens of arrow feathers clanged on the plate armor, and the iron triangular arrow tip screamed and slashed across the steel plate, and more than a dozen arrow feathers were nailed to the small wrist shield.

The guard knight Ah Lang, who followed behind Qu Jianhong, was still wearing armor made of gold skin, his whole body shrunk behind the wrist shield that was shè like a hedgehog, his legs were exposed, and he was hit by an arrow on one side, and the front half of the war horse was shè into a sieve, and he fell to the ground with a neigh.

How could the jungle knight shè this stormy arrow feather? Through the hazy starlight, Qu Jianhong looked due east, and was a little stunned at that time!

On the mainland highway due east, it is not the imaginary jungle knight, but ...... It turned out to be a centaur archer!

cāo he nǎinǎi!

Qu Jianhong couldn't wait to slam the shield on the ground!

Rebellion is a great sin to exterminate the Nine Clans!

Rebellion and attachment to the enemy country, especially in war, rebellion and attachment to the enemy is a heinous crime that exterminates the nine clans, and will never be forgiven!

These bunch of dog-riding bastards...... Prince Tiedu has just died in battle, and he has already found a new master so quickly?

There was a burst of bowstring sound in the sky, and more than a hundred forest spirit knights of the expeditionary force all rose into the air, in the middle of the night, no one could match the eyesight of the forest spirit spirit, and occupied the advantage of this height, and the centaur archers who rushed to the front were knocked down by shè!

A loud roar immediately sounded in the enemy camp, and a group of half-orc and bear-man soldiers rushed to the front with tower shields more than one person high, and the arrows of the Jing spirits were bounced off by the tower shields everywhere!

"Roar kill-roar kill-" The phalanx of Phanos hoplites roared angrily, advancing step by step, and although the arrows in the gaps between the forest spirits and towers brought up waves of blood, they could not shake the will of these tenacious beings at all-throughout the battle of the gods, the Phanos legion heavy infantry performed so well that it could not be repeated.

Advancing further, entering the range of the large hand crossbows, the heavy knights of the expeditionary force were equipped with one hand, the crossbow strings sounded like rain hitting plantains, and the crossbow arrows the thickness of bird eggs chirped the air hot, and smashed on the tower shield like stones, even so, the Fanos heavy infantry still gritted their teeth and advanced to a range of 100 meters!

"Shè!give me shè!" the front-line commanders, large and small, shouted out the same word!

Among the arrows flying in the sky, Qu Jianhong jumped off his mount and raised his shield to block in front of Ah Lang, put his hand into his arms and touched it, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Adult, don't care about me, I ......" The war horse has long returned to the homeland of the grass, the little boy got up from the ground, pulled out the arrow shaft with force, blood surged out along the cracks of the leather armor, and the thigh muscles could be seen from the leather armor trembling suddenly, but the little boy gritted his teeth and said nothing, took out the leather bandage from his arms, and tied all the thighs tightly, "Hmm...... I've always heard that Amy-sama picks up something good every time she goes out, and I can't imagine that you're doing pretty well. In the chaos, Qu Jianhong said coldly and coldly.

In the darkness, another Earth Dragon Knight led his mount and rushed over: "Who saw General Qu, who saw General Qu?" was shouting, almost crashing into Qu Jianhong's arms, the young general stretched out his hand and grabbed the reins of the Earth Dragon Knight, and the huge Earth Dragon roared angrily, and was almost pulled to the ground by the young warrior.

"Huh?" Only then did the Earth Dragon Knight spot the young Grand Duke standing under the Earth Dragon: "My lord!" General Su Wen ordered that Your Excellency lead the team to disperse the heavy infantry in front. ”

"Yes. Qu Jianhong nodded coldly: "Gather all the Earth Dragon Knights, put on the crossbow, and prepare to tear down the wall and fight." ”

"Yes, sir. "The Dragonrider was ordered to leave.

The young Grand Duke first used a dagger to cut the leather armor on the young man's legs, revealing two naked eyes the size of eggs, reached out and took out a healing scroll from his arms, tore it with his hand, and bursts of white light rushed to Ah Lang's thighs, and then used the dagger to cut off the leather bandage, and new flesh buds quickly grew under the leather armor and began to close.

"I heard the head of the regiment say that your father is also a son of a family, right?" asked the young grand duke in a rare soft voice.

"Yes, yes, unfortunately I've never seen him, and my mom doesn't know who he really is. ”
