Chapter 275: What is Homestead
The people at the gate of the city hurriedly bowed down and spontaneously saluted Huo Changmen.
But the sense of respect and order in the past was gone, the people quietly looked at Huo Changmen and the others, and the people in the back row were even whispering.
"I heard that a few days ago, Lord Huo Zhai led the warriors to fight outside the valley, how did you ......?"
"Look at the dress, most of the warriors here are really from our Luming Village, but there are some strange dresses, which don't look like people from our valley?"
"How do you feel that the Lord of Huo Zhai is not in a very good state, you see that the Lord of Huo Zhai seems to be very tired, the gorgeous military uniforms of the warriors are torn like this, everyone rushed to Luming Village early in the morning, could it be that they came back overnight?"
"Ah, so you can't ...... Could it be that this battle was lost?"
"What? defeated? How is it possible, Huo Zhai Lord personally led the warriors into battle, how could he be defeated?"
"But this meeting ...... I don't want to go back to my teacher in victory?"
As more and more people gathered at the city gates, the scene was vaguely chaotic and out of control.
Huo Changmen didn't know what he was thinking, he just stood under the city, beside him was the anxious Ma Biao and the few remaining generals and Mu Perfect and others, while the tired warriors stood farther away, without the slightest excitement of returning to Luming Village on their faces.
On the contrary, none of them looked very good.
The army of the defeated army!
A sense of pathos arose, the prosperous city gate in the past seemed to be solidified, the people outside did not want to go in, and the people inside looked at the people outside and did not dare to come out.
"Give it all up, let it go!"
Suddenly, a young man shouted a reprimand, rushing through the gate and rushing beyond the gate of the crowd of onlookers, followed by dozens of nervous guards.
When the young man saw Huo Changmen, who looked tired, he hurriedly rushed over and knelt down on one knee: "Village master, what are you...... Hurry up and go into the city, let the brothers go into the city to bandage their injuries and rest and rest!"
Huo Changmen glanced at the young man, who was a young military general left behind and a nephew of the Huo family.
"Haitao, take everyone into the city. Huo Changmen said a little weakly.
The people who had gathered around the gate hurriedly retreated, opened the wide gate, and let the defeated warriors into the city. The people looked at Huo Changmen and the others directly, this time no one talked to each other, no one whispered, and the people who were used to a comfortable life seemed to think of something.
"The owner of the village has worked hard!"
"The owner of the village has worked hard! Big guy has worked hard! Welcome home!"
"Big guy, it's hard work! Lord of the village, please come into the city and rest!"
Suddenly someone in the crowd of the people shouted loudly, first three or two people shouted, and then all the people retreated to both sides of the city gate, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, and the sound shook the sky.
"The owner of the village has worked hard! Big guy has worked hard! Welcome home!"
Huo Changmen just walked under the city gate, his body trembled violently, and he nodded to the people who were kneeling down, and there was a look of relief and satisfaction in his eyes.
And the warriors who followed behind Huo Changmen couldn't help but have tears in their eyes when they were infected by the atmosphere, this is their harbor, it is their homeland that they desperately guard, and every person here is their family and the most important treasure in their homeland.
None of the samurai were afraid of death, and all of these people who have survived to this day are the most elite warriors, and all of them are the hardest
of the Iron Man. Tie Han is not afraid of death, but what he is afraid of is that after fighting to the death, he will not be recognized by his relatives and be pointed at, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
But the sentence "the big guy has worked hard" seems to be more valuable than anything else, and no matter how much sacrifice they pay, it is meaningful! Mu Perfect followed behind Huo Changmen, he was infected by the atmosphere, and couldn't help but pat Huo Changmen's arm, and whispered:
"Lord Huozhai, let's go into the city quickly and let the brothers rest and rest. ”
Huo Changmen nodded, and strode into Luming Village.
Ni Zhalong followed closely behind Mu Perfect, he was surprised at first, looked at the onlookers and said secretly: "Don't the people here know that the Ginkgo Valley is in a state of war?
"Born in sorrow and dying in peace, this place seems to be a pure land, but in fact it contains a supreme crisis!"
When Ni Zhalong watched the onlookers open the spacious city gate and kneel down with a shout, he suddenly had an impulse, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
"These people...... Hey!"
Ni Zhalong has been the lord of Ni City for several years, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of people in a city, and he has a lot of experience with this kind of fish and water. But obviously Huo Changmen's management style is not the same as the usual way of governing with rules and majesty, and the people here don't seem to be very afraid of Huo Changmen, on the contrary, they are very kind to Huo Changmen, just like the kind of kindness and dependence that children have on their parents.
Ni Zhalong said secretly: "Dote on the people too much and give them a completely worry-free life, is this a good thing or a bad thing......
The warriors entered the city and were arranged to rest near the Hall of Glory, and a large number of guards in the city rushed to the head of the city to stand guard, and Luming Village seemed to be calm again after a short period of chaos.
In the evening.
The Qicheng army finally broke through the end of sight and marched towards Luming Village!
Huo Changmen and the others got the news and immediately rushed to the tall city tower of Luming Village, and sure enough, they saw a burst of earth smoke rising in the distance, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a huge horse team of thousands of people was charging towards Luming Village!
The climate of the Ginkgo Valley is warm and rainy all year round, and even in the wilderness, there are many grass and trees, and there is very little bare sandy land. But thousands of samurai jumped in unison, and huge amounts of dust rose from the meadows, adding to the majesty of the horses.
Huo Changmen and the others stood on top of the high city tower, looking condescendingly at the horse team rushing from afar, their faces were slightly shocked. But at the same time, after half a day's rest, their previous fatigue was swept away, and the cold killing intent and fighting spirit rose again.
Mu Perfect snorted coldly: "No wonder the Qicheng army relaxed their offensive when they chased halfway, it turned out that they scattered to the towns along the way to grab all the horses, and took the opportunity to gather the soldiers again, and after regrouping, they made up such a strong horse team!"
Huo Changmen said: "Qiu Caibee has been hidden in the army to dispatch and command, he, an old fox, has such a big advantage and can still resist not rushing overnight, it seems that this time he really has to make up his mind to fight with us to the end!"
Mu Perfect's face was not very good-looking, after all, as a military division, his overall arrangement did not have much effect. Once the coalition forces were defeated so far, he had something to do with it that he couldn't shirk.
At this time, a samurai rushed up to the castle tower, bowed down and said, "Lord of the village, the summoning order has been conveyed, and samurai from all over the city are rushing here!"
Huo Changmen nodded.
Thousands of guards were already on the walls, and even the samurai who had entered the city in the morning had all gone up to the castle towers. Huo Changmen
looked at the many generals beside him, and finally whispered to Mu Perfect: "Great Military Division, Crazy Dragon City Lord...... There was no trace of them, and half of my eight brothers never returned, even ...... Even Luo Ji hasn't come back, let's ...... in the last battle We're under a lot of pressure!"
Mu Perfect's brows furrowed, and his face became more and more ugly.
The Defiant Dragon is the backbone of the Northern Samurai and one of the core combat forces of the Alliance. He has not heard from him for a day and a night, and Zhu Ziteng has not returned, the two most important people in the north have all disappeared, Mu Perfect and all the soldiers in the north are panicking, if it is not for Mu Perfect still sitting here, they will really break themselves, and they will be in chaos first.
Mu Perfect said secretly: "With the strength of the Crazy Dragon Boss, even if he is under siege, he will definitely not be easily controlled, unless there are more than three people with the same strength as him can trap him." Mu Feng and Chopping Sand have returned, and Her Highness has also retreated into the Ginkgo Valley, but where has she gone now?"
Mu Perfect's heart moved: "Could it be ...... Qicheng hired another foreign master to assassinate the city lord and His Highness? If this is the case, then it is troublesome, I heard that the stone city of the ancestral Miao realm specially sent a senior to sit in the town, if Qicheng hired a foreign master to assassinate the city lord and His Highness, the predecessors of Stone City will definitely not sit idly by. Ay...... Big head!"
Just as he was hesitating, the gate of Lumingzhai had been completely closed, and more Lumingzhai guards rushed to the city, holding bows and arrows, and a murderous atmosphere was permeating.
"Boom ......"
Thousands of war horses galloped in, and the sound of huge horse hooves mixed into a very oppressive sound, and the palms of many warriors in the city broke out in cold sweat. They stared closely at the Qicheng army that was getting closer and closer, and from time to time someone quietly turned their heads to look at Huo Changmen and the others standing in the center, with a faint uneasiness in their eyes.
Since Huo Changmen took over the position of the owner of Luming Village, as long as Huo Changmen is there for decades, the entire Ginkgo Valley seems to be the safest place in the world, and millions of people in the valley live and work in peace and contentment, and have never worried about the threat of war.
But now Huo Changmen is still standing there, but the guards around him have lost their composure and confidence.
Huo Changmen led the most elite warriors and almost all the generals of Lumingzhai to fight the enemy outside the Ginkgo Valley, but the end was to lead the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Lumingzhai, and the enemy drove straight into the city of Lumingzhai.
A little panicked.
The guards who came to support in the city continued to rush up to the city tower, the city head was more than two zhang wide, and the city wall that extended to the end of the line of sight was already full of people and horses from Luming Village, which was the last reliance of Huo Changmen.
If Luming Village can't hold it, there really will be no way out.
The Qicheng army rushed to a distance of more than ten zhang outside Luming Village and stopped, and the army spread left and right, and the cold murderous aura rose to the sky. Although there are only a few thousand people, this momentum is far stronger than those guards on the head of Luming Walled City.
Huo Changmen and Mu Perfect looked carefully, and identified Qiu Caifeng, Ye Zhiqiu, and Wu Tianbiao in turn in the crowd, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Mu Perfect was speechless, the three major city lords of Qicheng came to attack together, and the coalition army only had Huo Changmen in charge, could it be defended?
Mu Perfect didn't know, and he didn't dare to guess.
If it weren't for the disappearance of the Heavenly Dragon and Vermilion Wisteria, he would even want to immediately lead the men and horses in the north to withdraw from Luming Village, break through from other directions and return to the north, and leave here forever.
But now, he can't leave.
