Extremely miserable screams could be heard faintly on the broken city walls of Qiu County.
Wu Danian stood on the iron plate, and plumes of green smoke rose up. The air was filled with this burnt and rotten smell, which made people feel like vomiting.
Liu Xia sat in front of Wu Danian, his slightly immature cheeks set off by the billowing flames, making them look livid.
At this moment, Liu Xia couldn't help clenching her fists.[
It is extremely cruel to kill someone in such a way.
However, the banditry around the entire Qiu County has become so serious. If it is not eradicated with the power of thunder and given a strong deterrent force, it is impossible to quickly and completely eliminate these banditry.
Of course, those who deserved to be tortured like this at the Battle of Da Nian were the officials here. They helped the tyrants, acted as villains, deceived the subordinates and concealed the superiors. It was really not enough to kill the people to make them angry.
Seeing Wu Danian's heart-rending roar and struggling desperately on the iron plate, Liu Xia slowly closed her eyes.
Wu Jiajun, who was standing behind Liu Xia, gradually shed beads of sweat on his forehead.
He knew in his heart that if Liu Xia killed someone with such a cruel method, it would inevitably arouse Black Dragon Village's crazy revenge, but with just the few people under Liu Xia's command, how could he resist him?
He is not worried about Liu Xia's safety now, because Wu Quan'an, the leader of Black Dragon Village, is only at the peak of master level, and Liu Xia is more than enough to deal with him.
However, this small number of people cannot defend the county town at all. Once the bandits rush into the city, the remaining people in the city will become the target of the bandits' venting.
By then, Qiu County will be completely barren of grass.
"Master Wu, how many people are there in Black Dragon Village?"
Liu Xia suddenly asked.
"Back to my lord, there are only over 2,000 people in Black Dragon Village, so there is nothing to fear. However, I am afraid that once they come down from the mountain, they will gather a large number of other bandits. It is difficult to predict the number of people by then."
Wu Jiajun said softly.
"A mob is vulnerable to a single blow."
Liu Xia said calmly.
"But Your Majesty, even if they come with two thousand people, we can't stop them from entering the city. Once they enter the city, the people in the city will be in trouble."
Wu Jiajun still couldn't help but said.
"Don't worry, I said that they can't enter the city. Tonight, as long as they dare to come, we will let them go back. Just relax and watch the show."
Liu Xia said calmly.[
When Wu Jiajun heard this, he guessed that the prince might have other plans, so he did not dare to say anything more.
As time passed, Wu Danian on the iron plate was already burning, and he had already expired.
Wu Jiajun glanced at the moon in the sky. An hour had passed since the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
The person who reported the news should have returned to the mountain stronghold, and the Black Dragon Stronghold may have organized troops to start moving towards this place.
The real bloody storm began at this moment.
Wu Jiajun couldn't help but clenched his hands, and secretly swore in his heart that even if he only had one breath left today, he would never let those bandits step into the city.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, the teapot on the table in front of Liu Xia began to shake slightly.
Everyone seemed to feel the shaking of the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they heard the sound of horse hooves running towards here in the distance.
Wu Jiajun knew that the people from Black Dragon Village had arrived.
However, Liu Xia still sat there, closing his eyes and concentrating, with no intention of getting up.
The Imperial Guards had already drawn out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands.
In less than three minutes, from the tower, I saw a group of torches moving rapidly in the distance, just like fireflies flying all over the sky in summer.
At a glance, the number was actually over three thousand, and these were just those with torches. God knows how many were without torches?
Wu Jiajun's vision went dark. He originally thought that they should have arrived half an hour ago, but Black Dragon Village was half an hour late. This was because they had gathered more people, and they didn't know that the remaining people were from other villages.
They were still homeless, but the number exceeded his expectations.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Wu Jiajun was really anxious at this moment.
"Calm down."
At this moment, Liu Xia just said these three words softly.
Wu Jiajun became even more anxious and hurriedly walked to the battlement. At this time, the bandits could already see him.
There were about four thousand people away, and there were probably less than a thousand cavalry charging in front, and the rest of the people followed closely behind those cavalry.
The county town of Qiu County is already in such a dilapidated state, and apart from Liu Xia and the sixty men, there are no defenders. Once they enter the city, the people in the city will face disaster.
In the blink of an eye, those cavalrymen were less than two thousand meters away from the city.[
Their shouts could already be heard faintly.
"Fight in and Brother Wei will take revenge."
"Go ahead."
The messy shouts and the rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly merged into one.
Watching this, Wu Jiajun was sweating on his forehead.
These cavalry can rush into the county town in one wave, and the infantry can follow closely behind.
Qiu County is about to be lost.
But at this moment, there suddenly seemed to be the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind the mountain on one side of the city.
That team was extremely fast, and apart from the sound of horse hooves, there was not a single shout.
If you don't look carefully, you can't even see them in the darkness.
Because the armors on those cavalry had been specially treated. In the dark night, they were as black as iron. Even their mounts were armed to the teeth with armor.
Such a cavalryman has never been seen or heard of.
After Wu Jiajun saw it, he couldn't help being shocked and quickly looked back at Liu Xia.
But Liu Xia had closed her eyes and remained silent.
Wu Jiajun suddenly understood at this moment, no wonder Liu Xia could be so calm. It turned out that he had hidden reinforcements.
The bandits naturally discovered the cavalry rushing towards them and couldn't help but slow down.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar from the opponent's cavalry formation: "Show your sword!"
"Whoa!"
The sound of drawing swords suddenly spread.
Suddenly, the bandits were dumbfounded.
Because, the cavalrymen who rushed towards them all had fairy-level swords in their hands.
Those immortal weapons should have been practiced in a unified way, exuding a faint blood-colored light.
"Break the formation!"
At that moment, the Tiger Guard general who was charging shouted angrily again.
The three rows of Tiger Guards charging at the front instantly lowered their swords and pointed them at them.
The bandits were immediately dumbfounded.
At this moment, the Tiger Guard was like a torrent bursting through a dike, and with an unbelievable momentum, it was packed straight into the opponent's cavalry.
Suddenly, the bandits were all on their backs and screamed one after another.
After a wave of charges, the Tiger Guard quickly adjusted its direction and launched another charge.
At this moment, the bandits' cavalry was completely defeated and was completely defeated by the tiger guards.
When the Tiger Guards charged again, the bandit cavalry were already in a state of utter ruin.
After charging at this moment, the Tiger Guards gathered again, turned their spearheads and charged towards the crowd of infantry.
After overwhelming the opponent's already messy formation, the Tiger Guards began to kill the crowd.
The Tiger Guards who were knocked off their horses immediately changed their weapons as soon as they landed, holding a single sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and quickly gathered with their teammates.
The two people relied on each other back to back, while more Tiger Guards, relying on the advantage of the cavalry, fought in and out of the crowd.
Those bandits didn't get close to Qiu County, so they were killed in pieces and fled.
Wu Jiajun was completely stunned when he saw this.
He had been a soldier before and had been on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have become the county magistrate relying on his military merit.
But he had never seen such a well-trained tiger and wolf warrior.
Not to mention other things, those Tiger Guards who were knocked to the ground had obviously been trained in advance and had undergone actual combat.
As soon as they landed, they used shields and daggers to counterattack, relying on each other with their teammates to counterattack the enemy. The nearby cavalry and tiger guards charged on both sides of them, slashing and slashing, making it impossible for the enemy to fight again.
Get close to them.
However, at this point in the battle, after every charge, the cavalry could reorganize their formation at extremely fast speeds and charge again.
From their weapons, to their armor, to their cultivation, it is unlikely that even if you look at the entire Dragon Soul Continent, you will be able to find a few such weapons.
Sure enough, the opponent was destined to fail from the very beginning of this battle.
There were more than 4,000 people on the other side, but now only corpses scattered on the ground were left, and the rest had long since fled.
However, the Tiger Guards did not pursue them. After encircling and suppressing the bandits who escaped, they reorganized their troops and quickly approached Qiu County.
At this moment, Liu Xia slowly opened her eyes and walked towards Wu Jiajun.
"Master Wu, are you relieved now?"
Liu Xia asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty is indeed a master of predicting events. This cavalryman really flew from the sky. Haha."
Wu Jiajun hurriedly flattered him.
At that moment, after the Tiger Guards reorganized their formation, they and their wounded comrades disappeared from Liu Xia's sight again like ghosts.
Wu Jiajun was a little dumbfounded when he saw this. He thought that these strange soldiers would enter the city to defend, but they just left like this.
What does this mean?
"Your Majesty, this...?"
"Don't worry, they are nearby. No disturbance will escape their eyes. Let's just think about what will happen tomorrow."
Liu Xia said calmly.
"Heilong Village has experienced a painful encounter and will never give up. I think they will gather more people to attack Qiu County next time."
Wu Jiajun said.
"Haha, I won't give them a chance. Liu Liansheng, you set off immediately and go to the Wuzhou Governor's Yamen and tell them that I, the king, was ordered to quell the bandits and was imprisoned here. Let them quickly bring troops to rescue the siege.
.”
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Liu Liansheng immediately cupped his fists and said: "No."
"Master Wu, light the beacon tower. Tomorrow, I will kill people."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
As soon as Wu Jiajun heard this, he knew what he wanted to do if he stayed. He immediately knelt down in the tunnel and said, "As ordered."
