Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 317

By the time Ma Zheng arrived with his cronies at the official residence where Chang was imprisoned, the three-entry house had also collapsed in the explosion.

But obviously this official mansion is much simpler than Lu Jichuan's mansion, the materials are mainly thatch, although it collapsed, but did not pile up a lot of sand and gravel, everyone moved the beams and wood, removed the thatch, and those simple beds, tables and chairs were presented.

It's just that what makes Ma Zheng wonder is that after watching his subordinates rummage, in a huge mansion, there is no one alive, no corpse, and not even a ghost is found. Even the cronies who were in charge of guarding Chang Po were gone.

"Look closer!"

Ma Zheng began to feel a little weak, always felt that something was wrong, and instructed his subordinates to rummage carefully a few times, except for a few ragged shirts, there was indeed no one in sight.

"You, in a group of five, look carefully in four directions, be sure to see people alive, and corpses to death, not only often broken, the old Huang next to him, by the way, and the pair of people we left here in advance, no matter who you find, report to me immediately. ”

Ma Zheng's voice already showed a faint uneasiness. At the moment, the brigade of people and horses are saving people everywhere in the city, and the twenty cronies around him have followed Ma Zheng for many years, so they can naturally see that he is trying his best to hide his anxiety, but fortunately, these people are still able to handle things, and they cooperate tacitly, according to Ma Zheng's orders, they search for one side.

Geng Zhong was seriously injured, and black blood was dripping from the corners of his eyes and ears, but he insisted on riding his horse and was led by his servants towards the city.

There was still a thick pitch black surge in front of him, and there was only a ringing in his ears, which shook his head, but he was thinking about the lady at home, the newlywed wife who said that they would live and die together.

When they first met, she thought he was rude, and he looked at her as pretentious.

When they met again, she took out the best gold sore medicine to heal his ass.

Later, when he secretly took care of her, her heart secretly promised that a short time was not enough for them to taste tenderness, but it made it more difficult for them to break up.

Fortunately, after the war, the eldest grandchildren and sisters were unwilling to be left behind, and took the initiative to ask to participate in the rescue of the wounded. When Sands Cotai was blown into the air, the two sisters were also thrown into the air, but they were surrounded by tents for treating the wounded, and they only suffered some abrasions.

When the eldest grandson Li saw Geng Zhong returning from the battlefield of nine deaths, he couldn't help but pounce in front of the horse's head, and a hanging heart finally settled down a little. But when she saw Geng Zhong's head and face full of wounds, the newlywed Yan'er woman was speechless in distress for a while.

Even though tears welled up on his face, the eldest grandson Li tried his best to make his voice appear firm and calm.

"My man is back, how can I celebrate a hero like yours. The eldest grandson had the heart to ease the depressing atmosphere, but Geng Zhong did not react, and the guards on the side stepped forward to explain,

"Captain Geng's eyes are missing, and his ears are damaged. ”

Their new house had been razed to the ground in the explosion, and sergeants had set up emergency tents in the clearing. The eldest grandson Li personally settled Geng Zhong, and then carefully cleaned Geng Zhong's wounds with cotton cloth and water, Geng Zhong was docile like a child, but he just touched the eldest grandson's slender and boneless little hands, and the two of them interlocked their fingers and held each other tightly.

The eldest grandson simply held Geng Zhong's head in his arms, and the man with steel and iron bones soon fell into a deep sleep. Just when the eldest grandson Li gently continued to clean up for her husband, Lao Huang, a personal old servant who was often broken, came over.

Seeing that it was Lao Huang, the eldest grandson Li hurriedly spread the other people in the tent and gently put Geng Zhong down. asked cautiously,

"My husband has a lot to explain, what does Lord Huang command, I'll wait for him to wake up and tell ......"

With the help of the dim light in the tent, Lao Huang first went to carefully investigate Geng Zhong's injuries, and found that Geng Zhong was sleeping like a coma, Lao Huang shook his head in disappointment and asked the eldest grandson,

"This Lieutenant Geng Zhong's injury is not light, but a doctor has come to treat him?"

"Right now, the city is newly broken, and there are many wounded, Lord Geng explained before going to bed, let the military doctor let those seriously injured brothers save their lives, his injuries are ......"

Speaking of this, the speed of Changsun Li's speech increased slightly, his voice was much softer, and the tears in his eyes finally flowed down his cheeks.

Lao Huang sighed and comforted kindly,

"Mrs. Geng, don't worry, ...... now" Lao Huang suddenly pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside the tent, the footsteps outside the camp were messy, but they were obviously running back and forth, Lao Huang was close to the ear of the eldest grandson, and whispered,

"Right now, General Chang will be in charge of Jinsha again, and he originally asked me to inform Lord Geng to act together. But looking at Lord Geng's current situation, Mrs. still let him recuperate. General Chang will take care of Captain Geng. ”

Hearing Lao Huang's words, Changsun Li's eyes instantly widened a lot, and his confused eyes wanted to ask Lao Huang for confirmation again, but unexpectedly, Lao Huang didn't say much, turned around and left, before leaving, just left a sentence, "Mrs. Geng can rest assured, everything is under the control of the old general......

The eldest grandson grew up in the eldest grandson's mansion since he was a child, and although the eldest grandson Wujiang loves her very much, every time there is an important matter or an important person visits, he will hand over the little girl to the next person to support her. The eldest grandson Li also developed a habit, but it was more important than asking those secrets between men.

However, Lao Huang's hurried back left a feeling of panic for the eldest grandson, and she had a premonition that a bigger change was brewing in Jinsha City.

However, the bloody wind and rain outside the window seemed to only make the eldest grandson walk away for a while, she turned around and came back, and concentrated on cleaning up Geng Zhong's wounds.

......

The governor of the five armies was in a military tent in the south of the city at the moment, although his body was much thinner, but the light in the old general's eyes was brighter than ever.

Around General Chang, there was a group of captains and generals with bright armor, these generals were in the battle with the Northern Wilderness Rangers, and the Northern Army of Great Xia was often victorious, with a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers.

After defeating the southern expeditionary grain cavalry of the ranger prince Toto, in order to consolidate the city defense of Jinsha, Ma Zheng brought all these integrated troops back to Jinsha.

Among these troops, the young and strong soldiers who were more effective were all gathered by the horses into their own thousand army camps, while the remaining soldiers who were a little older or had wounds on their bodies were sent to the south gate, where the defensive pressure was relatively small.

Of course, the armament and supplies of these defenders of the southern city were also much worse than those of Ma Zheng's subordinates.

When Chang Po captured the northern attack on the guerrillas, the hard battle could only be carried by his own descendants, and the fast horse Yang Sheng and his cavalry team were wiped out in the battle of Nameless Hill. This is actually the expected result of Chang Po.

But in order to eliminate future troubles, Chang Poyu can only grit his teeth and bear such a result. At the same time, after the war, he pretended to be injured and handed over the command to Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng.

However, this is exactly the chess game that the veteran of the battlefield laid out in advance.

Ma Zheng is brave and ruthless, although Lu Jichuan is scheming, but the constraints on Ma Zheng are limited. Moreover, Ma Zheng was pampered and arrogant, thinking that when he attacked the guerrillas in the north, his main force was best preserved, and the right-hand men who often relied on to act, Yang Sheng, Xiang Bei and Geng Zhong, only Geng Zhong was left.

Whether this old general is really sick or fake, it is just to be able to steal his life and take the initiative to show weakness.

Ma Zheng's subordinates expanded to more than 30,000 elites, and the remaining more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled were just a burden that affected combat effectiveness in Ma Zheng's eyes, so he left these more than 10,000 people in Nancheng for backup.

Of course, in Ma Zheng's eyes, the greatest value of these warriors is that the supplies withheld from them can be handed over to those elite soldiers in Beicheng.

This is also expected by Chang Poyu.

Lao Huang, who seems to be honest and loyal, can always avoid the eyes and ears of those surveillance, and pass information to these marginalized Nancheng soldiers. And these soldiers are also waiting, waiting for General Chang to say that the best time will eventually come.

Chang Poyu tried not to contact Geng Zhong as much as possible, which was also a good move for him. In Ma Zheng's heart, the only one who can set off storms for Chang Poyu is Geng Zhong, a thorn in his side, so he is keeping an eye on Geng Zhong's every move all the time.

With Geng Zhong's containment, Ma Zheng ignored these "remnants of the defeated army" that he couldn't look down on at all. This, on the contrary, has become the last hole card of Chang Poyu.

In the three-day battle, Ma Zheng's elite losses were huge, and now less than half of the troops remained. And these more than 10,000 reserve units have become the most complete troops in Jinsha City, and more importantly, these seemingly weak veterans are some of the most experienced fighters.

"General Chang, just speak. Ma Zheng's kid imprisoned the coach, Lu Jichuan lost the golden sands, and now, it's time to settle accounts with them!"

The person who spoke was the captain of the Northern Xinjiang City Guard with a beard, and was humiliated by Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng because he did not resist the Southern Expedition Grain Rider of the Northern Wilderness Ranger. In particular, Ma Zheng, as a captain of a thousand military cadets, not only insulted this general in public, but even broke up and reorganized his troops. In fact, it was to snatch away those sergeants who were still capable of fighting.

Someone took the lead, and the sound in the big tent suddenly burst into flames, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle of shouting and killing, Chang Poyu, who had a white beard, seemed unusually calm. The armor on his body was as shiny as the light in his eyes, and even his figure had returned to his former tall and straight posture, which was similar to the old age of the wind and candle during this time.

The veteran looked at the resentful generals around him without saying a word, knowing that these people had been bullied by Ma Zheng for a long time, and now that the elite of Jinsha North City was lost, they were both public and private, and these soldiers wanted to take down Ma Zheng.

But without complete certainty, the battle-hardened veteran won't take any chances. During this time, Chang Poyu, who has always been called sick and escaping the world, is actually clear about the situation outside the high walls. These generals have already completed the private contact layout, just waiting for such an opportunity, so that they can respond to every call.

However, this is not the purpose of Chang Po. Under his gaze, the enthusiastic generals gradually quieted down.

"Bring it up!"

Chang Po beckoned outside the tent, and several captives in Chang Sheng's uniform were pushed in. As soon as these people saw the posture in the tent, they knew that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You are under house arrest for the governor of the five armies, and you have bad intentions towards this commander, aren't you afraid that the laws of Daxia are on top, the military law of the five armies is around, and the head of the people on the item is not guaranteed?"

Chang Poyu's tone was calm, but word by word, he scared several captives into trembling.

"Back to General Chang, we, we are also forced to be helpless. Everyone is dragging their families in Jinsha, and Master Ma is the master of our Jinsha. If you dare not comply, the little ones will have no way to live......"

"Bastard, you dare to quibble, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!" The generals on the side were furious, and they were about to step forward and make a move.

The captives were horrified and hurriedly explained,

"No, no, the adults are angry, and the little ones know that they are guilty, and they don't dare to have other plans, but, but we have not embarrassed the old general. You, don't you believe Lao Huang, when he goes in and out, the little ones all open one eye and close one eye......"

If it weren't for the deliberate maintenance of these guards, it would be impossible for Chang Poyu to contact so many subordinates under Ma Zheng's nose.

Time is pressing, Chang Polu no longer continues to sell Guanzi, "Brothers, you are all victorious soldiers loyal to Great Xia, and you are also the descendants of our god of war Tiankui Marquis, our swords are only against the enemy, and our blood is sprinkled with all our blood." ”

Looking at everyone's serious faces, Chang Poyu pulled out his sword, let out a loud sigh, and the blade was unsheathed, "We, not for the sake of flesh and blood, we just want us to win against strong enemies and regain the glory of victory!"
