The days have passed by for more than half a month, the New Year is approaching step by step, and it is already New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.【】
At this time of family fun, the most worrying thing was the soldiers who had left their homes on the battlefield. Qi Mo came out of the camp and took a quick look at the faces of the soldiers on duty or passing by. They all looked more or less homesick.
He frowned slightly, and suddenly he saw Red Eagle and Purple Eagle in military armor walking side by side towards him, followed by a young man with cold brows and an expression on his face.
Fighting is not only fierce during the confrontation, but also boring during the confrontation. The brotherly war between Qi Mo and Qi Mu lasted for more than four years. In addition to confrontation, they spent most of their time in confrontation.
This kind of confrontation is often the most psychological test for people. From the moment he put on the armor, neither Qi Mo nor any of his ordinary soldiers took off their armor except for sleeping and bathing. The heavy
The iron armor on the body not only reminds everyone that the war is not over yet, but also acts like a shackle, trapping everyone on the battlefield where they may die at any time.
Qi Mo waited until the three of them approached before asking: "What's going on?"
Hong Ying pointed to the camp with a serious look on his face. "General, let's go in and talk."
Qi Mo nodded, turned around and entered the tent, and sat down in order. Hong Ying raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "The sentry just discovered that Qi Mu's army has deserted."
"Oh?" Qi Mo raised his eyebrows lightly, without much reaction. "What's the result?"
"Thirteen people who defected will be executed." Ziying continued, "However, once the momentum of desertion starts, it is difficult to curb it. Once the morale of the army is shaken, Qi Mu may have to win a victory immediately to stabilize the morale of the army.
"
Qi Mo groaned and shook his head. "Not necessarily. This is not the first time that this kind of desertion has happened in Qi Mu's military camp. If I remember correctly, this is the fourth time since he turned into a defeated force.
But it didn’t expand every time.”
Soldier defection is an extremely serious matter in the army. One bad move will trigger the three armies, resulting in large-scale desertions. However, it happened four times in Qi Mu's army, but none of the incidents escalated. From this point, we can
Qi Mu's ability to control the army was not inferior to Qi Mo's, so even Qi Mo didn't understand why he was defeated to such an extent.
"You can't say that." Hong Ying denied Qi Mo's words and frowned with concern. "Today is New Year's Eve. At this time, soldiers are often most homesick. Not only Qi Mu's army, but also Qi Mu's army.
Even our soldiers are a little depressed."
"This battle has taken too long." The young man who had been sitting silently in the corner suddenly said, his voice was clear and his tone was cold and arrogant, which made people feel chilling.
Hongying turned around, gave the man a meaningful look, and nodded. "Xi Zang is right. This battle has indeed lasted too long, especially since a year and a half ago, the length of time we have been facing each other has become longer and longer.
It's getting longer and longer, and Qi Mu won't send troops to fight at all. It will definitely be harmful if we continue to hold him back like this!"
Just as Qi Mo was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside the tent. The people inside the tent stopped talking at the same time. Xi Zang shouted and said loudly: "Who is outside the tent? How can there be no noise in front of the general's tent?!"
There was silence outside the tent, and a slightly rough male voice suddenly said: "General, there is enemy report!"
Qi Mo's face was as dark as water. "Come in!"
The thick cowhide curtain was suddenly opened, and a stout man wearing black armor walked in quickly. He walked three meters in front of Qi Mo, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said: "Return to the general! The enemy army has appeared in large numbers.
It is estimated that tens of thousands of people have defected!"
"What?!" Hong Ying was startled and quickly turned to Qi Mo. Qi Mo's face remained calm and said, "Can the enemy leader make any moves?"
The man replied: "Yes! The enemy leader is sending people to stop them and doing their best to prevent defections!"
Qi Mo frowned, and distant noises could be heard faintly, including the collision of iron tools, the neighing of horses, and the rough and desperate roars of men. The air seemed to have a faint mixed smell of dust and blood.
"Explore again!"
The man responded in a deep voice and hurriedly retreated.
The tent became silent all of a sudden. Red Eagle and Ziying both frowned, and they were smiling at the same time. Xi Zang was sitting in the corner, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
It had been quiet for less than two minutes when the noise suddenly started again outside the tent. This time it was even more chaotic than before. Various voices were mixed together, and they seemed to be saying something, but it was too chaotic to hear anything clearly.
Ziying, Hongying and Xi Zhan stood up almost at the same time. Six pairs of eyes stared at the door curtain without blinking. They pressed their left hands on their waists and their right hands held the handle of the knife on their left waist. Their expressions were solemn and cold.
.
It's not like it has never happened before. Qi Mu planned soldiers to pretend to defect, create chaos and attract attention, but secretly sent people to attack Qi Mo. Although Qi Mu was unlikely to repeat the same trick, they had to guard against it. After all, soldiers never tire of deceit!
The air suddenly became tense. Qi Mo sat motionless behind the low table facing the door, the cold light in his eyes piercing people like a sharp sword.
Suddenly, the door curtain was suddenly opened, and a slender figure was vaguely visible.
Almost at the same time, Ziying, Hongying and Xi Zang took action at the same time. The three of them used three swords to block the opponent from three directions. The long sword was unsheathed, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and they stabbed towards the opponent with murderous intent!
The other party was obviously startled, but his reaction speed was extremely quick, and he reacted almost as soon as the three of them got up.
He stepped sideways to avoid Xi Zang's sword that was reaching for his neck. His wrist was as flexible as a snake. He quickly reached forward and firmly grasped Xi Zang's wrist. With a burst of strength, he pulled him straight down. Xi Zang was caught off guard.
, was pulled by the opponent and staggered, the long sword in his hand turned straight down, and happened to be picked up on Red Eagle's sword that was attacking the waist.
With a sonorous sound, the two swords with almost equal strength were released at the same time and fell together!
The knee area that Ziying attacked did not gain any advantage. The opponent's agility was far beyond his imagination. He just avoided Xi Zang's sword, grabbed his wrist and used his sword force to break the attack from Red Eagle.
At the same time, the opponent's right foot was not idle either. It rotated at an angle like lightning and took out his stretched out wrist from an almost twisted direction!
If this kick is used, Ziying's right wrist will definitely not be saved!
