The news of the destruction of the red-robed city quickly spread to Qingzhou, and at this time, the people in Qingzhou City were almost evacuated, and Xiao Limin was checking the defensive measures on the city tower. By his side, only Yang Rong was left. Yang Rong is strong and strong, and his injuries have recovered quickly, and he is now able to accompany Xiao Limin on crutches on his rounds.

A soldier drooped his head, Yang Rong raised the wooden crutch and knocked it down, and the soldier hurriedly straightened up. Xiao Limin admires Yang Rong's training strength the most on weekdays, and Yang Rong's eyes can't tolerate a little sand, so Xiao Limin, the ironhead of the vanguard battalion, is relieved to let Yang Rong take it.

Yang Rong stood on his feet, took two steps, and almost fell, and the soldiers laughed. Yang Rong steadied himself on crutches: "What's so funny?" The soldiers immediately stopped laughing again, and when Xiao Limin turned around, Yang Rong also stiffened his face.

Xiao Limin loves talents and cherishes talents, and is usually approachable, joking to Yang Rong: "What, lame leg, and still so majestic?"

Yang Rong immediately greeted him with a smile: "Aren't I stirring up the atmosphere? ”

Xiao Limin didn't show the slightest expression, and said lightly: "I'm afraid that the first few cities can't be defended, our Qingzhou City is heavily guarded, and it's not a big problem." In fact, Xiao Limin also knew in his heart that this was an almost impossible figure, but he wanted to delay as much time as possible and put all the elite troops in Qingzhou City, which could prevent the White Elephant Clan soldiers from continuing to go north to the greatest extent, and there would be a lot less killing. If Liao Qian and others occupied the north of Qingzhou first, at least they would be compatriots, even if they wanted to slaughter the city, they would have to hinder the world's comments.

Xiao Limin knows very well that he is now isolated and helpless, and if the state capitals had Xiao Tiantu's general order, they would have acted a long time ago, but so far, not a single soldier has entered the Qingzhou territory, Xiao Limin already knows the intentions of the imperial court, Xiao Tiantu is scraping bones to cure poison.

Yang Rong said: "General, I can still fight as long as I ride a horse, let me be a pioneer this time!"

Xiao Limin smiled: "You are lame, how did you win this tough battle?"

"Not really. Yang Rong said: "I fought with that kid Hezi, to be honest, this first warrior of the White Elephant Clan really didn't blow it, I was careless, and I was immediately pressed and beaten by him." In this Qingzhou City, I don't think anyone has more strength than me, I was careless before, but now I have precautions, I just wear more equipment. Otherwise, this kid would still be invincible. ”

Xiao Limin could see Yang Rong's resolute eyes, and knew that what he said was not a lie, but he was still not at ease: "I'll talk about it when your leg injury is healed." ”

"How can this be done!" Yang Rong was a little anxious: "The two armies are fighting, and morale is extremely important. If you lose again, you are afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Limin asked Yang Rong rhetorically, Yang Rong was hesitant for a while, and he didn't dare to say anything discouraged.

I only heard Yang Rong's words turn around, and said: "General, my legs can be tied to the horse and fixed, as long as the war horse does not fall, I will not fall! Besides, who else can carry that Hezi here?"

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Limin's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he shouted: "Who let you bewitch the army?"

Yang Rong was stunned for a moment, and only he dared to speak when Xiao Limin was angry: "General, what I said is true......"

At this moment, Xiao Limin's face suddenly softened, and beside Yang Rong, Chen Lie, whose face had not yet been tidied up, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Chen Lie is one step late, please forgive the general!"

"General Chen, please. Xiao Limin hurriedly helped Chen Lie up: "General Chen has worked hard all the way. ”

Chen Lie saw Yang Rong on crutches, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Yang Rong felt that it would be shameless to say that he was lame on the killing field, so he immediately changed his words: "I rode the horse too fast and accidentally fell off the horse." ”

"Hey. Chen Lie's face was embarrassed: "I usually tell you to pay attention, but now it's good, but at the critical moment, I am lame." ”

Yang Rong was dissatisfied and just wanted to refute, but Xiao Limin immediately said, "Okay, okay." After that, he asked Chen Lie: "How is it, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Chen Lie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The army has arrived in Huizhou, and it is estimated that there are still three days left." ”

Xiao Limin said loudly: "Have you heard it? Hold on for three more days!"

The morale on the city tower suddenly rose a lot, Yang Rong was a little surprised, and approached Chen Lie and asked, "Really?"

Chen Lie hurried for days, and said with a little tiredness: "Really." “

"Great!" Yang Rong was ecstatic, and no one noticed Xiao Limin's heavy face.

Xiao Limin patted Chen Lie on the shoulder and said, "Take a step to speak and arrange the city defense." “

"General, what about me?" Yang Rong felt that he should also participate.

Xiao Limin said: "You go back to the house to rest, and when the injury is healed, you will come out to be a pioneer." “

"Order!" Yang Rong was in a good mood and watched Xiao Limin and Chen Lie leave.

When he arrived at the general's mansion, Chen Lie couldn't pretend anymore, he knelt down crying, Xiao Limin hurriedly helped him up, Chen Lie couldn't help shaking his head and said: "General, Chen Lie is incompetent and couldn't meet the general." “

Xiao Limin sighed: "General Xin has seen it, it's none of your business, it's all in my expectation." Xiao Limin helped Chen Lie sit down, and someone had already brought the meal.

Chen Lie looked at Xiao Limin with red eyes, and Xiao Limin poured his own tea: "Eat, I know you're hungry." “

Usually, Xiao Limin is very good to these subordinates, and it is not uncommon to keep people to eat, so Chen Lie will not shirk much and eat the food in a big gulp.

When Chen Lie had almost eaten, Xiao Limin asked, "How do you feel, how is your body?"

Chen Lie said: "The subordinates are strong!"

Xiao Limin said: "Now that Yang Rong is injured, Li wants to defend Liao, Ji Teng dies in battle, and in my army, only you can be used." “

"What?" Chen Lie couldn't believe it: "General Ji died in battle?"

Xiao Limin nodded and said: "Yesterday, the red-robed city guarded by General Ji was broken by the White Elephant Clan, and General Ji sacrificed his life for righteousness and died on the battlefield. “

Chen Lie couldn't cry anymore, and his face was very defeated. Red Robe City is his hometown, he can't do anything, it's good now, his brothers in the past have died a lot, and no one can stand it.

Xiao Limin knew the bitterness in Chen Lie's heart, and comforted: "It is common for people to die on the battlefield, we have never thought about how to survive since we joined the army, right?"

"I understand. Chen Lie took three deep breaths before he eased up: "General, can I ask for battle?"

Xiao Limin finally showed a relaxed expression that he hadn't seen for a long time: "You are my right-hand man, if you don't ask for a fight, I'm just afraid that I won't last long." ”

Chen Lie stood up from his chair suddenly, and was about to salute again, when Xiao Limin hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Chen Lie's eyes were red and said, "Chen Lie, please be the pioneer officer of Qingzhou City, and he will not die!"

Xiao Limin patted Chen Lie's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Remember, live." “
