When the Imperial County Lord arrived, Gao Yuan expected to cause a sensation, but still underestimated the madness of the soldiers and civilians of Jicui City. Out of the camp gate, there were crowds of people on both sides of the road, waving arms, fluttering flags, and hoarse shouts, which made him have to reevaluate the significance of Mei Ying's visit to the border pass.

The cheers of the soldiers and civilians may not be from the bottom of their hearts to love or worship the county lord, to see the lively thoughts, to hunt for curiosity, to be infected by the atmosphere of grand welcome, and gradually forget the desire when they go out, as the crowd blindly vents unspeakable enthusiasm and excess energy, it also invisibly adds the weight of the Qinghui Empire in the bottom of their hearts.

Before walking out of Changqing Village, Gao Yuan did not understand the empire, grandfather and mountain people are all the content of life, and now food and clothing are inseparable from the standard camp, whether you want to or not, the empire is in fact dominating the body, dependence will eventually turn into loyalty, and the empire has gradually become a symbol of the spirit.

The cruel law of survival, the ruthless elimination of the years, will turn the family connected by blood into an empire maintained by the regime and the army. The country is unstable, the family is not peaceful, the soldiers and civilians in the border areas can see it more thoroughly, there are no high city walls, no elite defenders, and the tragic scene of the separation of wives and wives, who dares to guarantee that it will not be their turn.

Entering the outer city, the enthusiasm is more intense, outside the cordon, the piled fruits, the ethereal incense case, the good wishes to the county lord, gradually let the military and civilians forget the worries of life, the vague impression of the empire, the respected county lord, because of its mystery because of its strength and its dignity, how can it not be the idol of the gods and the people who place their hopes.

When the county lord carried the hope of millions of soldiers and civilians, the polite welcome was mixed with the piety of faith, and on the way forward, the cheering slogans slowly became neat, and more people put down their waving arms, learning from those arrogant nobles, and recounting their heartfelt wishes on their knees, for the empire, for the county lord, and even for their own future.

More and more soldiers and civilians knelt down, and behind the helmet guard, tears flowed down their cheeks. This is also my home, these are also my people, the lord of the empire, I have the responsibility to defend my home, I have the obligation to maintain the peace of my people, this is my mission that Duguying was destined to be born with, even at the cost of his life.

Yu Wenjie rotated the battle flag, Mei Ying's right hand was raised high, ignoring Gao Yuan and Dugu's painstaking persuasion in advance, pushed the shield onto the helmet, wiped away the tears on his face, and showed his beautiful face, and his clear voice echoed in the long street.

"The people of the Qinghui Empire, Duguying was appointed by the king to come to visit you. ”

"Defending the border pass for the bloody battle of the country, the loyal and brave soldiers of Xiangyun County, the royal family thanks you. ”

Dugu Ying, the Imperial County Lord, that is the Imperial County Lord Dugu Ying!

The crowd was boiling, the county lord came to visit, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, they all wanted to see the county lord's face, it would be an honor to boast to people for many years, the people in the front row knelt down one after another, and the people in the back squeezed forward desperately, and the order became chaotic.

The thanks of the royal family made the spearmen on duty nearby ignore military discipline, and many people turned their heads to look back, wanting to see the young county lord, loyal and brave, bloody battle, these words have been heard a lot, but from the mouth of the imperial county lord, how can the soldiers not be excited, and forget their mission for a while.

After the flag guard was stunned for a moment, he urged the horse to protect Mei Ying in Hua Yue's low roar, and the women's guard team quickly gathered forward, the guards and cavalry raised their short crossbows, and the blue arrows pointed at the chaotic crowd, but no one dared to easily pull the crossbow machine, it was not an assassin killer, it was an enthusiastic Jicui army and civilian.

The herald post that opened the way, Li Longbow looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, raised his hand and ordered to stop advancing, and the two teams of guards drew their long knives and formed a battle formation in place, they were the front barrier of the flag guard.

Mei Ying's behavior exceeded the defense plan, and the pro-guard team subconsciously responded according to the appearance of the assassin, with steel knives unsheathed, longbows and arrows, and the targets were countless soldiers and civilians on both sides. The next few teams didn't know what was going on, and the captain of the patrol gave orders one after another to be on guard, and the students looked around for targets to attack, and the formation became chaotic.

The standard commander gently pressed the formation in the back, not knowing the situation in front and it was difficult to issue military orders in time, Gao Yuan did not dare to openly overstep his authority, the shortcomings of the two-end command were exposed, and the standard team did not have a unified order for a short time, and it was completely arranged by the patrol commanders themselves, and they deviated from the plan unconsciously.

The spearmen on duty saw the bow and arrow pointed at the cadet, and the instinct of the soldier made them protect the spear in front of them, forgetting that their task was to stop the crowd from watching outside, to prevent them from crossing the cordon, and it looked as if they were going to meet the cadet.

The killers who mixed in the crowd would not let go of the rare opportunity to incite the unwitting military and civilians, and more people crossed the cordon, and the situation got out of control for a while. Seeing the chaos happening, Mei Ying's belated remorse washed away the previous excitement, and she wanted to slap herself, she didn't have time to think about the price of impulse, and tried her best to stabilize the situation, but she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Pro-Guard, put away your blades and stay put!"

Behind the flag guard, Gao Yuan's password sounded, and the steel knife of the pro-guard team returned to the sheath and put away the short crossbow, and the spearmen on duty next to him lowered the tip of their guns, and turned around to stop the crowd in the shouting and scolding of the officers who reacted, and the pro-guard department avoided bloodshed caused by misunderstanding. The other five patrol soldiers of the Lingbo standard team would not obey Gao Yuan's orders, and the blades in their hands were still pointed at the onlookers, waiting for the gentle order of the standard commander, but they did not know that a conflict might break out with the spearmen on duty at any time.

The crowd in front of them crossed the cordon one after another, and in the face of a large number of people, the spears in the hands of the spearmen on duty trembled, and the officers did not dare to give the order to massacre civilians.

Enthusiasm overwhelms reason, and there is also the instigation of assassin killers, and the gap between the patrols of the Limbo Standard Team is instantly crowded with onlookers, making them inadvertently divided into several pieces, and it is difficult to unify the orders.

Gao Yuan cursed the impulsive Mei Ying in his heart, and he wondered about the gentle reaction of the standard commander, why he couldn't give the correct order for a long time, the situation did not allow him to think too much, and he no longer cared about whether he exceeded his authority, the pro-guard team and the cavalry patrol wrapped the people together, and they must act in unison at this time.

"Cavalry patrol, listen to my orders from now on, and those who violate the order will be killed on the spot!" first used military law to deter, and then issued an order: "Everyone, put away your blades, move closer to the flag guard, and keep your guard against the crowd." ”

Mei Ying finally calmed down at this time, and raised her voice to order the student soldiers: "As the imperial county lord, I ask you all to obey the orders of the captain of the guard. Then he silently mobilized his internal strength and shouted to the people around him: "My loyal people, obey the arrangement of the soldiers on duty, retreat outside the cordon, retreat outside the cordon, this is the edict of the imperial county lord!"

Gao Yuan deeply understood what it means to be soft-spoken, his words borrowed military law to deter, it is still difficult to make the cavalry patrol obey like a personal guard, the imperial county lord said a word, the cavalry patrol all put away the spears and crossbows, and even the surrounding crowd began to move backwards, the imperial county lord's edict was heavier than the military order of his little personal guard captain, I don't know how many times heavier.

"All retreat outside the cordon. The people in the back, if they dare to move one step forward, blame the ruthlessness of military law. Archers, prepare—"

The edict of the Imperial County Lord only made the crowd feel that they should obey it, but they couldn't help but hesitate to retreat, and the words shouted by the deputy general of Jicui City who came in a hurry were military orders that must be obeyed immediately, otherwise they would have to pay the price of death.

Several rows of archers appeared behind the crowd, pointing their bows and arrows at the back of the crowd, and the shields pulled down obscured their faces, unwilling to reveal the identity of the sergeants, which meant that they were not intimidating, and the long arrows could leave the string at any time at the sound of an order, and the welcome ceremony would turn into a massacre.

In the face of death threats, the people immediately came to their senses and called for their children to change their daughters and retreat to the cordon. This is the difference between persuasion and threat, the former is easy to convince people, but the response is slow, and the latter can achieve immediate results as long as the result is not processed, but it is difficult to last.

The situation has changed for the better, and the killer has no chance but to act immediately.

Mei Yingcai felt a little relaxed, and caught a glimpse of a few black lights out of the corner of her eyes, hiding in a stirrup and hiding next to the side of the war horse, but she remembered the sharp sound of breaking the air in her ears, and the assassin on the other side also made a move, and the two sides cooperated tacitly and calculated her way to dodge.

The students of the pro-guard team and the cavalry patrol were ordered to put away their blades, and Mei Ying's flag guard next to them was no exception, the sudden crossbow arrows made them difficult to parry for a while, only with the help of war horses as cover, fortunately, the killer target was Mei Ying, and the crossbow arrows shot at others were just interfering with the rescue, shooting from the same direction, which avoided casualties in a hurry, it was not the mercy of the killers, but that they did not have enough personnel to do it at the same time.

Gao Yuan was approaching her when Mei Ying shouted, although the assassin's attack was sudden, but it was also expected, if they didn't act at this time, they would not be worthy of being called assassins, such a good opportunity was not easy to encounter.

Mei Ying dodged the crossbow arrow on the left side, and could no longer dodge the attack on the right, the fear of death instantly occupied her mind, and when the sharp sound of breaking the air disappeared, she subconsciously bit her lip, it hurt, she didn't die, and dodged the attack? The answer is yes, because she is alive, but also no, because someone has fallen from the war horse, who else can it be besides Gao Yuan.

"Takagaki -" The exclamation was interrupted by a stern order: "Flag guards, surround the county lord, personal guards, capture the assassins." ”

Hua Yue and several people dodged the attack, all of them were angry, drew their long knives and were about to fight back against the assassins, Gao Yuan's order happened to come over, glared at the assassin who pounced on him hatefully, picked up the knife flower and protected Mei Ying tightly in the middle, Hua Yue leaned over and pulled Gao Yuan on the horse, taking the opportunity to check the injury.

The two teams of guards drew their long knives to meet them, and the two teams took up their short crossbows and used their horses and bodies to act as a barrier for the flag guard.

"Brother, hold on, we haven't made a fortune yet, we haven't even touched a beautiful woman, don't die, then the rest will be mine." Li Longbow put Gao Yuan on the back of the horse, and the worry about his brother's injury was written on his face, there was absolutely no false element, but the words were particularly harsh in Gao Yuan's ears, and he shook his chest when he was not guarded, and his hand flew on the saddle bridge to the ground, and he ran a few steps on the back of the dark cloud horse, and watched coldly as the guards captured the assassin.

The assassin is very good, Gao Yuan estimated that he had a fight with Li Longbow and other elite guards, but at this time, they were killed and injured one after another, and the wolves bit the tigers to death, not to mention a group of tigers besieging one, and when Gao Yuan reacted, he wanted to order to catch the live mouth, but the outcome was unexpected, and the women's team of the guards rushed up with a short crossbow, Hua Yue, Mei Ying and Yan Ning were a lot.

The crossbow arrows made the fight end instantly, and none of the assassins survived, and the two captains of the guards besieging the assassins muttered dissatisfiedly, and ordered the team members to quickly retreat and remain vigilant.

"Entering the city, go on!"

The onlookers retreated to the outside of the cordon, the standard team resumed contact before and after, the standard commander gently and gently exchanged a few words with the deputy general, and finally issued a password, and the standard team continued to move forward after a short period of formation.

Gao Yuan was not injured, and he fell on the back of the horse to prevent the crossbow arrow from hurting his beloved war horse, so Hua Yue threw him at Li Longbow as soon as he checked it slightly, and hugged a big man in public, and the senior sister would also be embarrassed. The Assassin's short arrow was shot at the body, causing no real damage other than the pain caused by the impact. There is also soft armor in the iron armor, and there are hidden steel heart guards on the front chest and back - inspired by Li Longgong, since you have to use your body to cover Mei Ying when necessary, you might as well add a few more layers of protection, and protecting others may not have to take your own life.

When the standard team arrived at the review site, Mei Ying warmly greeted the participating students, hearing that Fang had just been attacked, the morale-boosting students used the slogan to express their gratitude to the imperial county lord, and several student representatives swore to use the enemy's head to scrub away the shame of poor protection, which made Gao Yuan excited and funny when he heard it, and the poor protection seemed to be scolding me as the captain of the personal guard in disguise.

The defenders brought the body of the assassin, and Mei Ying took the lead in cutting off a head, ordering it to be hung in front of the city gates, and the other representatives of the standard battalion then swung their knives and beheaded them. The assassins of the Sunset Empire could never have imagined that they could not shake the hearts of the enemy as they wished, and their heads instead became sacrifices to the Lingbo Feiyan battle banner, which made the morale of the twenty-three standard battalions unprecedentedly high.

"Imperial Army, invincible!"

The soldiers took the lead, the defenders echoed, and the slogans of tens of thousands of soldiers who participated in the review made the mountains and ravines roar, and the rolling echo made the water surface of the Qinghe River also ripple.
