Chapter 317: The Barbarian King is Coming
Night.
White armor, snow, neat and slaughtered military formations.
It took an hour for more than 10,000 Northern Seal Armorers stationed in the Barbarian Holy City to complete the assembly, arrayed and outside the city walls.
The assembly time of an hour seems a bit lengthy for an elite division like the Beifeng Army, but this is not to blame the Beifeng soldiers.
After all, the three battalions stationed in the Barbarian Holy City were all scattered and stationed on all four walls of the Barbarian Holy City, and they needed to be dispatched across the entire Barbarian Holy City.
Therefore, compared with other brothers on the city tower, Li Yongliang, who is in charge of the rotation in the south of the city tonight, seems to be a little lucky.
"Hey, hey, hey"
Standing in front of the array, Li Yongliang touched his chin and smiled stupidly.
Rotation is not just a matter of leading a team to patrol the post.
In the event of a night attack by the enemy, as well as some contingencies such as the inability to find a superior general, the power in the hands of the general who was on duty that night would be temporarily increased by half a rank, and he would also be given many small but important permissions, such as the partial opening of the ordnance warehouse, the blowing of the alarm horn, and the raising and lowering of the city gate tower.
However, this temporary increase in power is not a good thing in Li Yongliang's circle of generals.
Because in ordinary times, some commanders at the top liked to do things, and suddenly pulled the whole army together in the middle of the night to engage in actual combat training.
If you do it well, it's your job.
It's wrong, so congratulations, I like to mention a military discipline gift package.
In the third town of the Beifeng Army, there was an example of the improper operation of the rotating general who caused the battalion to roar, and was directly cut off by the commander.
But there are pros and cons to everything,
It's a chore in normal times, but at the time of war, it's a kind of command!
Although it is not a general collapse of the building, it can also be a great achievement.
Thinking of this,
Li Yongliang quickly glanced back at the red-armored Qianying standing on top of the city tower, and there was a faint excitement in his heart.
Ability is important, but it also has to be seen by those above.
Although because of the calculation of the eight calves in Wangcheng, he lost the opportunity to show his face in front of the Hou Ye, but tonight's changes made him show his face in front of His Royal Highness.
Although there was no direct contact, and the order was also given by Captain Tang, His Highness was standing on top of the city tower after all, and His Highness should have seen everything he did.
"Hey, Lao Li, what are you stupid about?"
Just as he was thinking, a low, slightly magnetic voice came from one side.
Li Yongliang looked back, but saw a burly man in white armor walking towards him with the blade at his waist, and the soldiers behind him were still holding down a group of women and children who were remnants of the barbarians.
A large group of people in Wuyang are very noisy, because they need to use force to deter these barbarian captives.
The burly man's armor "clicked" as he walked, and with a hint of a smile between his words, he asked:
"How's it going? Is the Hou Ye here, or His Royal Highness? ”
"Lao Bai, press it again?"
After a moment's pause, Li Yongliang grinned: "Aren't you afraid of delaying the military situation and being disposed of?" ”
"Pull you down."
Bai Jiaqi raised his hand and punched Li Yongliang in the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu's Qubu is stationed in the north of the city, and it is not easy to organize the brothers to come over in such a short time. ”
"Huh"
Li Yongliang glanced at this kid meaningfully, and whispered: "You won't stir the vat with a toothpick again."
"What?" Bai Jiaqi couldn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Li Yongliang waved his hand: "I said that His Highness is here." ”
"Your Highness?" Bai Jiaqi was stunned.
Li Yongliang pouted towards the top of the city tower.
After glancing at it, Bai Jiaqi immediately retracted her gaze and asked with a frown:
"Isn't Your Highness in Beifeng, why did you suddenly come to this barbarian city?"
Li Yongliang rolled his eyes and spread his hands:
"Heh, you really look up to me, Your Highness's whereabouts, how can I know so much about a little song?"
"And what about the purpose of the assembly?"
"I don't know."
"Tsk, why don't you know anything?"
"I've said it all, how can I know so much about a song, or can you give me a little bit of military merit and let me be promoted to a general? Maybe we'll find out next time. ”
"!"
Bai Jiaqi scolded with a smile, glanced at the white-armored Lin Hai who formed a military formation around him, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice:
"I remember that Seongnam is your shift tonight, right? Can't you say, or really don't know? ”
Although General Qu was already considered a middle-level general in the army, when he was about to fight, he rarely explained to them the specific meaning of the order, and most of the time they were just responsible for burying their heads in the killing.
Li Yongliang sighed lightly and sighed:
"The order I received was very simple, to send an order and coordinate all the troops in the city to assemble outside the southern city."
“.”
Bai Jiaqi's brows furrowed when she heard this.
Although the above will not specifically explain the significance of the order, the perennial military career has also made these middle-level generals have some "military smell".
With a slightly solemn face, Bai Jiaqi murmured softly:
"The whole city is assembled. Is this to pull out the camp? No, if I wanted to pull out the camp, I didn't see the grain cao escorting the baggage when I came, and the scouts in the city didn't go out to investigate. ”
Speaking of which,
Bai Jiaqi looked at Li Yongliang with a tentative look in her eyes:
"So, tonight is a real combat exercise? But since Lalian is doing so, why should I bring the barbarian captives here? ”
“.”
Li Yongliang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:
"Why do you keep thinking about it so much, Your Highness is here."
One glance at each other,
Bai Jiaqi grinned and patted the other party's shoulder:
"Okay, Lao Li, I'll go to the meeting point of our department first."
Speaking of which,
Just as they were about to leave, Bai Jiaqi caught a glimpse of a young man wearing a grain trough official robe driving a carriage out of the gate of the city tower and heading towards them.
The carriage was pulled by a tall white demon horse, and the carriage behind it was a foot high, and through the oiled paper cloth wrapped in the carriage, you could faintly see the stacked wooden boxes inside, and the iron-wrapped wooden wheels cut a deep rut in the snow.
Seeing this scene, Bai Jiaqi subconsciously stopped the movements under her feet.
According to the law of the army, this carriage should have come to Li Yongliang, the rotating general.
Soon, in the subtle "rumble" sound of the iron-wrapped wooden wheel, the carriage really came to a stop in front of Li Yongliang.
The young grain trough officer jumped neatly from the carriage and asked with a smile:
"Li Qu?"
“.”
Li Yongliang returned the salute with a fist, and respectfully showed the rotation general tiger talisman hanging on his waist to the other party.
This person he knew, one of the few grain and grass superintendents in the third town of Beifeng, was already a four-grade powerhouse at a young age.
The spirit swept over the tiger talisman and was identified.
The young grain trough officer moved a step to the side slightly, turned his hand and pointed to the carriage, and said with a smile:
"Captain Tang has an order, please distribute this cart to the soldiers again."
This is considered a matter within the duty of the generals, and Li Yongliang subconsciously asked:
"Zhou grain trough, can you ask what kind of baggage this is?"
"Naturally."
The young grain trough officer had no, but between the words, the smile on his face converged, and he sighed and spit out a sentence:
"In this carriage are twenty boxes of Jinqi Pills."
“.”
Jinqi Dan.
Hearing this, Li Yongliang subconsciously looked at Bai Jiaqi on the side, but saw that the other party was also looking at him at the moment.
Looking at each other for a moment, they both saw a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Jinqi Dan, a kind of elixir with very strict control in the army, will only be distributed to each Qu by logistics grain before each major war.
At the cost of destroying the meridians and body, it is a medicine stone that gains stronger power in a short period of time.
As long as you have been in the army for a long time, you have basically taken this elixir.
After all, although Jinqi Pill has side effects, in the face of death and defeat, these side effects are no longer terrifying.
The young grain trough officer didn't say anything more, and bowed deeply and respectfully to Li Yongliang:
"Li Qu, if there is nothing else, Zhou will retire first."
“.”
Watching the other party's figure disappear in silence, Li Yongliang took a deep breath, glanced at Bai Jiaqi, pulled the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a little dignified:
"Twenty boxes of Jinqi Dan. How many pieces are given to 10,000 people on average? ”
Bai Jiaqi was silent for a few breaths and spit out two words:
"Four."
“.”
Li Yongliang's fingers trembled slightly when he heard this number.
The efficacy and side effects of Jinqi Dan will increase with the dose.
Take one table, and you can't get out of bed for more than half a month.
Taking two meridians is irreversibly damaged and will affect subsequent practice.
If you take three pieces, the meridians will be broken, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to advance an inch in this life.
After taking four pills, the dantian backsurged, and he was seriously injured and dying.
After taking five pieces, the whole body is fiery red, the skin and flesh burn like in the oven, and the skin oozes blood and dies.
Four
These generals, who have advanced cultivation, are okay, and they can already be said to be fatal to the four Jinqi Pills of the brothers under them.
Quiet for a few breaths,
Li Yongliang's voice was low and a little hoarse:
"Lao Bai, Your Highness loves soldiers like a son, if it is not necessary, she would not be able to give such an order, what do you say Your Highness is going to do?"
Bai Jiaqi subconsciously glanced at the dark sky in the south and licked her dry lips:
"What to do?
"Although this barbarian city has no protective array, its walls are not yet strong, and if an enemy army is coming, it should be defended by the city. Now the formation is outside the city walls, and the line is in a dense formation, which should be. It should be to deal with high-level cultivators. ”
If you have been sick for a long time, you can become a doctor, and as long as you are not stupid after a long march, you can see the clues from the details.
In a few words, Bai Jiaqi had already launched the correct answer.
"Advanced cultivator."
Li Yongliang muttered, and also forgot to glance at the southern sky:
"Lao Bai, you said that we can only deal with high-level cultivators in the three battalions of the Beifeng Army, and more than 10,000 elites can only deal with it by eating four Jinqi Pills. How tall does it have to be? ”
“.”
Bai Jiaqi shuddered, grinned, and said with a smile:
"How tall can it be? Transform Fanbei, I remember that at the banquet of the broken city before, I heard Captain Tang say that the barbarian king is just a cultivator. ”
Li Yongliang glanced at Bai Jiaqi and said in a deep voice:
"Don't lie to yourself, it's not like we've seen a strong man in the army for more than 20 years, so it's not like this."
Bai Jiaqi's hand holding the handle of the knife clenched, and her words trembled slightly:
"Since you are a saint, why doesn't Your Highness go first?"
"You can outrun the saints? Or can our brothers escape the saint's soul? ”
Li Yongliang looked up at the dark sky, sighed leisurely, and clenched his fists:
"If there is no His Highness, the battle will be defeated, and the defeat will be death, His Highness's daughter is still willing to stay for us, what are we afraid of?"
“.” Bai Jiaqi was silent and did not speak.
Li Yongliang turned over and climbed into the carriage, stood on the frame and looked at Bai Jiaqi, and said with a smile:
"Why are you still stunned, let your idle brothers come over to help, if you can go back alive, you remember to invite me to Lan Gui Pavilion to drink and drink some red people."
Bai Jiaqi came back to her senses, looked at the other party's unshaven smile, restrained her mind, and also turned into the car, and scolded with a smile while helping:
"Fuck, why did I invite you kid to drink if I survived?"
"Your toothpick stirs up the vat."
"Ahem me.. I'll give you two. ”
"Hahahaha."
Above the city walls, under the city gates.
Leaning against the stone pillar, Xu Yuan looked at the red-clothed figure not far away.
The side face is flawless, with a red armor and a slim body, cold and glamorous.
Just like Li Qingyan said in the underground palace, a qualified coach can turn uneasiness into trust just by standing there.
When she asked him to "borrow" the Jinqi Pill, Xu Yuan was also worried that too much of a dose would cause the soldiers below to roar.
After all, the dose of four Jinqi Pills was already lethal for ordinary sixth- and seventh-grade soldiers.
But instead of panicking, the morale of the soldiers below became more victorious.
“.”
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan subconsciously moved down and moved to her buttocks wrapped in armor.
The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he lowered his eyes, and Xu Yuan glanced at the tips of the slender middle finger of his right hand.
This chest-wrapped princess is really ruthless, he just teased through his clothes, and actually stabbed him directly with a knife, but the fingertips touched.
"Long days."
The cold voice pulled Xu Yuan's aftertaste back from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw Li Qingyan looking at him calmly, his eyes flashing with a ghostly light:
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Yuan didn't care when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "Why, our Highness Wu Yuan is so domineering, I can't even look at my own hands?" ”
Li Qingyan took a deep breath, his chest was not shocked, and said:
"You'd better just be looking at your hands."
Xu Yuan smiled dumbly, pointed in the direction of the southwest, and teased:
"The war is imminent, why does our family Qingyan still pay attention to this kind of children's affection?"
Li Qingyan turned his eyes back, no longer bothered with this hooligan, and said solemnly:
"Calculate the time, the barbarian king is about to arrive."
Xu Yuan groaned slightly, nodded, and was slightly serious:
"Don't worry, I'm trying to create an attack gap for you."
Li Qingyan whispered:
"That's not what Hongu meant."
"What?" Xu Yuan hesitated.
Li Qingyan glanced at the red armor on his body and said in a low voice:
"You let Senior Luo follow you, this palace doesn't need it."
Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly surprised, and he immediately seemed to understand something, and said with a smile:
"What? Are you worried about me? ”
Li Qingyan glanced at him:
"If you die, won't you let the second brother in this palace succeed? I'll have to settle accounts with him after I go back. ”
“.”
Xu Yuan was slightly disappointed with this answer, but he was a little helpless.
But after a pause, Li Qingyan's voice came here, but the voice was slightly quieter:
"And. If you do die, Hongu may be sad. ”
Xu Yuan raised his eyes when he heard this, stood up straight, and walked towards Li Qingyan:
"Clear Flame."
"Don't come here!"
Li Qingyan frowned and sighed.
The experience made her a little afraid to let this dead man get close.
Not to mention,
At this time, there are more than 10,000 soldiers under the city wall looking at her as the commander.
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, and with a step on his feet, his figure came to her side in an instant.
Li Qingyan's eyes were instantly vigilant.
But unexpectedly,
The dead man didn't do anything to her, but calmly looked in the direction of the southwest.
Li Qingyan looked back.
As far as the eye can see, there is a dark and endless sky.
But she sensed a source qi that disturbed the heavens and the earth, like a giant beast crawling in the distant sky!
Someone, who is galloping towards the barbarian holy city.
Li Qingyan turned his eyes back when he saw this, and was about to speak.
"Smack."
“.” Li Qingyan.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Qingyan's upturned chassis, pinched it gently, squinted and smiled:
"Well, this barbarian king doesn't hide his breath at all, since he is so confident, then it's up to your husband and I to prepare a big one for him."
Words fall,
Xu Yuan rose into the air in Li Qingyan's complicated gaze that wanted to kill and had a little worry.
Since he has plenty of time, then he will let the barbarian king see what it means to be a master!
Standing in the pitch-black void, the aura around Xu Yuan's body climbed layer by layer, and an extremely rich blood ink color quickly spread around him
