On this day, the wind was howling, and on the martial arts field, the flag was fierce.

Eight hundred defenders of the plains, plus one hundred recruits led by He Yi, lined up neatly, waiting for Huyang City to be appointed to support the army of the bandits in Pingyuan County.

At this moment, the tired and worried faces of the defenders of the plain finally relaxed, and there was no need to worry about it, and there was no need to be wary of Li Rongzhai sending troops to attack again.

There are more than 3,000 elite soldiers in Lirong Village, so how many reinforcements will there be in Huyang?

Three thousand, five thousand?

Pingyuan is just an ordinary small county, and Huyang City is a county seat, so it stands to reason that the army of Huyang City should be several points higher than Pingyuan County in terms of training and armor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the division of tigers and wolves.

Don't say 35,000, even if you can come with 1,000 elite soldiers, you can easily completely defeat the Lirong Village that has been cut off from grain and grass.

Not long after, the reinforcements from Huyang finally arrived at the martial arts arena, but the actual situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Because, the soldiers and horses who came to support ————

Only one!

The bronze door of the school field opened, and in the midst of the gale and flying sand, a majestic and mighty horse general slowly walked in.

...... ......

"This ...... What is this going on? Huyang City is too stingy, isn't it? Why did you only send one person over?"

"What kind of reinforcement is this! Only send generals but not increase troops? We don't even have weapons and armor now, and it is still difficult to defend the city, so how can we attack Lirong Village? I'm afraid it won't even be enough to stuff the teeth between Li Rongzhai......

"What the hell is Huyang Taishou thinking? It's too unreliable!"

“......”

Seeing this, the defenders of the plains on the field suddenly exploded, and everyone's mood fell to the bottom, they really couldn't imagine how one person could face the Li Rong thieves who were strong with three thousand soldiers.

Moreover, Huyang City only sent generals, but did not increase troops, obviously asking the defenders of the plain to destroy Lirong Village by themselves.

Eight hundred against three thousand, or take the initiative to attack———— that is basically no different from sending to death.

With such a huge disparity in strength, can it be reversed by just one general?

He Yi frowned tightly.

Maybe, if it is replaced by some generals in the Shenwu Palace, they do have this ability.

He Yi had heard of the countless brilliant achievements of Shenwu Palace, the battle of Liaodong, Zhang Zigui's 800 elite soldiers broke through 10,000 enemies, the Tianmen mutiny, Shi Gonglie broke through with a horse to protect the lord, and the Heishui River Battle, Guo Anhuai made a plan to capture the twin cities.

It is not impossible to win more with less, but the vast majority of them are accidents in accidents under specific conditions.

Although Zigui is brave, but 800 tigers and wolves attack the tired army at night, so they can win; although Gonglie is strong, it is also a melee of soldiers and horses in all directions within the gate of heaven, and there is no distinction between the enemy and me, so that one person and one gun can protect the master and break through, and achieve a legendary story.

But what favorable conditions can Pingyuan County have now?

Lack of soldiers and armor, low morale, how to advantage?

In the chaotic noise, He Yi stared carefully at the general who came from Huyang City, and soon discovered that something was wrong.

He first noticed the opponent's weapon.

In other words, it is a faint spiritual power emanating from the weapon.

Ever since He Yi ate the Qilin Jade Fruit, the water spiritual power transformed by the Jade Fruit has remained in his body, protecting his bloodlines and viscera. This is also the reason why when he fainted on the snow field before, although he was eaten by the evil beasts around him, he was still able to survive.

Therefore, although he had not cultivated the cultivation method, for this reason, he could be regarded as stepping half a foot into the cultivation realm.

Therefore, the spiritual power that ordinary people can't feel, how easy can it be.

"It's actually a cultivator?!" He Yi muttered to himself in a low voice, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

If it were a cultivator, it would indeed be possible to break the current deadlock.

...... ......

The general of Hu Yang rode a black-maned horse and patrolled around the formation, his face full of arrogance. Seeing that the sergeants were all arguing and discussing, they suddenly became a little angry, and said with a horizontal brow: "Shut up for me!

His roar was quite intimidating, and the sound was still like thunder throughout the school, and as soon as the words fell, the field suddenly fell silent.

"General Zhao! Dare to ask General Zhao how many soldiers and horses he brought with him when he came to our Pingyuan County this time?" Pei Dong hesitated for a while, stepped forward and said: "I can't hide it, there are 3,000 thieves in Lirong Village, and the momentum is huge, I have already fought a bloody battle with them the night before, and I will almost be unable to resist it! If it weren't for Deputy General He sneaking into Lirong Village alone and burning their ordnance, grain and grass, and forcing them to retreat, I'm afraid that Pingyuan County would have been occupied at this time!"

Last night's battle was indeed a hard fight. Let's not talk about the difference in numbers, the main thing is that the current defenders of the plains really can't come out with extra armor.

The most important thing is that the morale of the plains is low now, and everyone doesn't want to participate in the war, if they just defend the city, they have to take the initiative to go out to suppress bandits.

If Huyang City really didn't send troops over, how could this battle be fought? Then it would be better to directly give up Pingyuan County, and the corpses of the province were all over the field, and the rivers were stained with blood.

"Three thousand people are also shouting loudly?" General Zhao said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, there is Ben General, even if the plain is really lost, it can be easily recaptured!"

Pei Dong saw that General Zhao looked absent-minded, his face couldn't help but feel a little more anxious, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Zhao, the city defense is a major matter, and it is related to the safety of the entire Pingyuan County, you must not ...... it."

"Bastard, don't you believe what Ben General said?" General Zhao glared at Pei Dong and rudely interrupted him.

He pulled out his horse and took a few steps forward, leaned down, and pulled out the sword hanging from Pei Dong's waist.

"Look!"

Then, he just reached out and flicked the blade of the sword, and the sword bent sharply from the place where it was toyed, forming an eerie arc.

Then, an amazing scene appeared.

The entire sword body began to become completely soft, detached from the hilt, and turned into a nimble silver snake, opening its mouth to spit out letters, and biting straight towards Pei Dong!

Suddenly, Pei Dong only felt a wind blowing by his cheek, and after a while, a red blood mark slowly emerged from his face!

"Do you see clearly?" General Zhao didn't even look at Pei Dong, his expression was very arrogant, he stuck the restored sword on the ground, and said lightly.

This sudden appearance of a miraculous scene made everyone present stunned.

"It's the Immortal Law!" A moment later, someone shouted excitedly.

"It turns out that it is an immortal who knows immortal arts! Now you can rest assured, who can block the power of immortal arts?"

"I didn't expect that there would be immortals to help us suppress the bandits!"

“......”

They were originally a little worried, but after seeing General Zhao's stunt, their worries directly turned into applause.

At this time, everyone's attention on the field was focused on General Zhao, only He Yi and Pei Dong subconsciously glanced at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Dong whispered, his face was full of puzzlement, and muttered something that made He Yi's heart tremble: "It's strange, isn't the newly promulgated law of this imperial court explicitly prohibiting ordinary cultivators from being officials?

"Is there such a law above the laws of the imperial court?" He Yi hurriedly asked.

He had been cut off from the secular world for ten years, and naturally he was not aware of this so-called "new law".

But after listening to Pei Dong say it, a very strong sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

Pei Dong thought about it carefully, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there must be." And it's not ...... in general."

"Lord Cheng of ———— County has arrived!"

Outside the training ground, the voice of the herald once again quieted the noisy crowd and interrupted what Pei Dong wanted to say next.

A carriage slowly drove from the outer door, and in the center of the martial arts arena, the coachman lifted the sedan curtain, and a middle-aged man about forty years old walked down, dressed in a county official uniform, wearing a black gauze crown, oily face and round face, and a big belly.

Naxian Cheng first walked in front of General Zhao, bowed down and bowed respectfully, and then turned to the defenders on the martial arts arena and said: "This General Zhao is from the Qi Cultivation Sect, and now he is serving under the command of Huyang Taishou. General Zhao is possessed by peerless skills, and those mountain and wild bandits outside the plain are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of this General Zhao! Okay, didn't you recruit a hundred new soldiers before? Let's go out of the city with General Zhao to suppress the bandits! I also took this opportunity to follow General Zhao to temper myself. ”

Is it only necessary to have a hundred recruits?

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what kind of wishful thinking the county Cheng and this General Zhao were playing.

At this time, He Yi came out of the ranks and said: "My lord, the ordnance, grain and grass in Lirong Village have been burned, and they have no food, so it is very likely that they will make a desperate bet and come to attack the city again." We only need to hold on to the city, and we can win without a fight, so there will be fewer casualties, so why take the initiative to go on the march?"

Li Rong Zhai has gone, and without follow-up food supplies, whether they will attack the city again or not, they will be quickly disbanded.

"Yes, Lord County Cheng, if you and General Zhao want to go out of the city to suppress bandits, we can send 800 elite soldiers in Pingyuan County at your disposal, why only bring 100 recruits over?" Pei Dong also said on the side, very puzzled.

When General Zhao heard this, he suddenly sneered, turned his head sideways and said to the county officer: "You see? I didn't force them. ”

Somehow, when the county Cheng heard General Zhao's words, he trembled inexplicably, and then looked at He Yi and Pei Dong angrily, and said in a deep voice: "What the official asks you to do, you just do it, where is there so much nonsense! Why, do you two want to disobey the military order?"

"This ...... I don't dare to do it. He Yi and Pei Dong hurriedly lowered their heads and said.

In the barracks, military orders are greater than everything else, and they still understand this truth.

Even if a hundred or a thousand people are unwilling in their hearts, they must act according to military orders, but this county is too arbitrary, which is really unacceptable.

Early tomorrow morning, the recruits will go out of the city with General Zhao. Seeing that the two of them received the order, the county Cheng nodded with satisfaction, made a gesture of invitation with General Zhao, and left with a smile.
