Chapter 59: Defending the City
is smearing poison on the weapon again, and hiding a poisonous snake in the sleeve, Mao Cheng's methods are really despicable.
However, this also shows how much Mao Cheng longs for the position of the leader of the alliance, and he has reached the point of doing everything.
But......
Looking at the green snake that flew towards him, Qi Tian showed a grim sneer, and then waved the ancient ingot knife in his hand fiercely.
Swish!
A cold light flashed, and the green snake that flew towards him was cut into two pieces by Qi Tian, and he couldn't die anymore.
"No!" Looking at the green snake that was cut into two pieces, Mao Cheng let out a hoarse cry.
In order to cultivate this green snake, he didn't know how much effort he had spent, and now that it was ruined, how could he not feel sorry for it?
But Qi Tian didn't have any ink, and after he killed the green snake, he strode towards Mao Cheng again, and asked coldly, "Do you still have the means?" Go ahead. ”
Mao Cheng's face turned red, the poisonous snake he had worked so hard to prepare was just like this, what could he do? He's also helpless!
Seeing that Qi Tian had already walked up to him, and when the ancient ingot knife in his hand was about to be slashed down, Mao Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Wait, General Qi Tian, I admit defeat!" ”
This guy doesn't want to suffer......
However, since he took the initiative to admit defeat, Qi Tian couldn't do anything more, so he took back the ancient ingot knife.
Mao Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, hugged his fists and said: "General Qi Tian, the martial arts are complete, and the position of the leader of the alliance is deserved." ”
Qi Tian said coldly: "I'm just General Yue Qing's lieutenant, even if I win, the position of the leader of the alliance should belong to General Yue Qing." ”
Mao Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, what General Qi Tian said is extremely true." ”
In this way, the position of the leader of the three alliances of Gaoliu City, Ma Cheng, and Dangcheng belongs to Yue Qing.
Subsequently, Yue Qing began to recruit troops and horses, those who fled into Macheng, because the Xiongnu seized their homes and killed their families, so they hated the Xiongnu to the core, and learned that Yue Qing wanted to recruit them to join and fight against the Xiongnu together, so they began to sign up enthusiastically.
After a while, the number of soldiers under the Alliance's command reached 3,000, and each of them was equipped with Qi Tian's repeating crossbows, bombs, and ancient ingot knives.
In this way, the number of Union soldiers completely surpassed that of the Kov Department.
However, according to Kuaiben, the captain of the guard of Gaoliu City, Ke Fushan Yu was able to destroy him and Nie Kai's troops because Bai Nei Danyu, one of the five Xiongnu tribes, came to help him.
After learning the news, Yue Qing and Qi Tian were shocked, and they couldn't understand why Ke Fu Shan Yu had been expelled, so why Bai Nei Shan Yu still came to help them.
"It seems that the Xiongnu are already eyeing our Dafeng territory, if we don't stop them in Daijun, the entire Youzhou, and even the entire Dafeng will be invaded by the Huns." Yue Qing said extremely seriously.
Qi Tian nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then let's smash the conspiracy of the Huns, with our current strength, even if Bai Nei and the Kefu Department join forces, they are definitely not afraid." ”
Yue Qing agreed: "Well, Brother Qi Tian is reasonable. ”
At this moment, Mao Cheng said cautiously: "General Yue Qing, I remember that you also promised me before, saying that after becoming the leader of the alliance, the first one will help us recover Dangcheng, it should be counted......"
Yue Qingle said: "A manly man, he foams at the mouth and spits a nail, how dare he forget what he promised?" ”
Mao Cheng was very excited: "General Yue Qing lives up to me, dare to ask the general, when will you send troops to the city?" As the people of the city, we are always looking forward to recovering our homeland. ”
Yue Qing waved his hand: "Then as you wish, tomorrow send two thousand troops to attack the city with me, and the remaining one thousand will follow Qi Tian to defend the city." ”
Mao Cheng was surprised: "General Yue Qing, since you are all going to attack Macheng, why don't you bring all the soldiers and horses with you?" That way, the siege will be faster......"
Yue Qing asked rhetorically: "Bai Nei and Kefu must already know about our recovery of Macheng, what if our whole army goes to attack Dangcheng, and they lead the army to raid Macheng instead?" ”
"This ......," Mao Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's also that the last general didn't think it through, and asked General Yue Qing to atone for his crimes." ”
Qi Tian shook his head speechlessly, this Mao Cheng, when dealing with his own people, he has everything in his heart, how can he deal with the Huns, he is so brainless?
What is this?
However, Yue Qing did not blame him, but appointed him as the vanguard of this attack on Dangcheng, after all, Mao Cheng was the captain of the Dangcheng guard, and he was also familiar with the terrain of Dangcheng.
As for Qi Tian and Kuaiben, they led the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers to stay in Macheng.
A few days later, Yue Qing and Mao Cheng slowly marched towards the city with 2,000 soldiers.
Speaking of which, Dangcheng is not far from Macheng, just a few hundred miles west of Macheng, and it is a neighboring county of Macheng.
Standing on the tower of Macheng City, watching Yue Qing lead the army away, Xu Qing sat on the ground with his buttocks, and said very depressedly: "Hey, I originally thought that I could follow Brother Tian to kill a few more Huns this time, and make more military achievements, but I didn't even go up to the battlefield." ”
Hearing Xu Qing's bloody words, Qi Tian couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said, "Idiot, what's wrong with defending the city?" My family, your family are here, if the Huns attack, without our protection, what should Die'er and Pan Yi do? ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Xu Qing suddenly came to his senses, clenched the ancient ingot knife in his hand and said: "Brother Tian's words are reasonable, and it is not a loss to defend the city." ”
Qi Tian laughed, patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said, "Okay, silly boy, let's get busy first." ”
Immediately, Xu Qing went to get busy, and Qi Tian hugged his fist at Kuaiben and said, "General Kuaiben, I hope we can unite to defend the city." ”
Among the three alliances, Yue Qing is the leader of the alliance, and Qi Tian, who is his deputy general, is almost equivalent to the existence of the deputy alliance leader.
In addition, the army's weapons and everything have to rely on Qi Tian, Kuaiben is naturally extremely respectful to him, and he clenched his fists and said: "Obey General Qi Tian's orders." ”
……
On the other side, after marching for most of the day, Yue Qing and Mao Cheng were about to lead the army to arrive in Dangcheng.
It was at this moment that the army unwittingly entered a valley.
Yue Qing frowned and said, "What's the matter?" I've studied the map around the city, and this valley isn't supposed to be the only place to enter the city, so why come here? ”
In the face of Yue Qing's questioning, the soldiers around showed blank expressions, and the soldiers who were higher in front replied: "We don't know either, General Yue Qing, it was General Mao Cheng who led the vanguard troops to enter the valley first, and then we followed and also entered." ”
The vanguard led by Mao Cheng is also responsible for the role of guide, so when he goes there, the follow-up troops will follow there.
So, Yue Qing simply ordered Mao Cheng to come in to inquire about the situation......
