"Kill!" Li Xiaomo shouted violently, the spear in his hand pierced the neck of an Iron Eagle Cavalry, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed the Iron Eagle Cavalry onto another person, and then let out another scream.
"Stop him, don't let him escape!" A loud shout was heard from the Iron Eagle army, and Hengshi Hassan's angry voice sounded in the open grassland. However, Hengshi Hassan was still disappointed.
, Li Xiaomo led his own soldiers to successfully break through Tie Ying's defense line, passed through the gap between the two ten thousand cavalry troops, and returned to the temporary camp in the rocky wasteland without any danger.
"The legion commander is full of courage. He led a thousand cavalry in and out three times among Tie Ying's 200,000-strong army. Even if Commander Xin is here, he has to express his admiration!" Seeing Li Xiaomo come back, Zhu Shitan left.
He came forward and said loudly.
Li Xiaomo smiled slightly, threw his helmet to the soldiers behind him, put his spear on the ground, and said with a smile: "The general praised me, but I just caught Tie Ying off guard. Besides, there are only a thousand cavalry left."
If it’s less than three hundred, what’s there to be proud of?”
The Flying Bear Legion is a pure infantry legion with a total strength of 50,000. Among the entire legion, only one thousand of the legion commander Li Xiaomo's personal soldiers are cavalry. According to Hetao practice, the legion commander's personal soldiers of the second-line legion are organized into one guard, the main force
The legion consists of two guards. The arm type is decided by the legion commander himself. However, when most legion commanders choose the personal arm, they are cavalry, because the cavalry is more mobile. The most important thing is that at critical moments,
Can function as a blade.
However, there are exceptions, such as the White Tiger Legion and the Legion of Honor, which are truly pure infantry legions. In the entire legion, except for scouts and messengers, the rest are all infantry.
Li Duo, the infantry commander of the Flying Bear Legion, said with emotion: "The legion commander is really brave. I think Hengshi Hasan is a famous general on the prairie. He has 200,000 soldiers under his command. The legion commander has a thousand cavalry. He dared to take the initiative to provoke and finally broke through successfully."
, He is truly a man of God.”
Li Xiaomo glared at him and shouted: "Stop flattering me! How is the construction of your camp?"
"Everything went well. With the full cooperation of the soldiers of the Blood Killing Legion, we have completed the mission." Li Duo said quickly.
In fact, Li Xiaomo could tell even if he didn't ask. The Stone Wasteland is backed by the Great Wall Mountains, so there was no need to worry about the opponent launching an attack from here. So as soon as Xue Sha led 30,000 cavalry and left, Li Xiaomo ordered the soldiers to attack the Stone Wasteland.
The north and east and west sides of the wasteland relied on the terrain, and used the exposed boulders on the ground to build the walls of the camp. There were three trenches in front of the walls. The trenches were about one foot wide and three feet deep, which could completely limit the combat effectiveness of the nomadic cavalry. The excavated stones and
The soil was naturally used to build the wall behind it. Although the wall was not high, just less than a foot, it was able to restrain the opponent's war horses from jumping past. As long as the opponent's crossbowmen were densely deployed around the wall, the opponent would
The attacking soldiers must suffer heavy losses.
The original intention of Li Xiaomo and Xue Sha at that time was naturally to resist the incoming Rouran army. No matter how confident Xue Sha was in his own talent, no matter how much he believed in the combat effectiveness of the Hetao soldiers, if the 30,000 cavalrymen wanted to fight in the field,
It is simply impossible to block Rouran's 300,000 cavalry. Therefore, all Xue Kill can do is slow down the opponent's progress, buy time for the Hetao army to rush to help, and for Li Xiaomo to build fortifications.
The Xue Kill General's 70,000 infantrymen and thousands of civilians carrying the baggage were handed over to Li Xiaomo. Naturally, Li Xiaomo did not dare to neglect and quickly organized the soldiers to start work. However, the two trenches had just been dug when the Iron Eagle Cavalry arrived.
, and looking at the formation, it was at least 200,000.
At that time, the opinions of the Hetao army were mainly divided into two groups. The infantry of the Blood Killing Legion followed the consistent style of Hetao, which was not to flinch. Zhu Shitan and others proposed that while the opponent's foothold was not stable, they should first show off their power and attack instead.
The generals of the Flying Bear Legion are more defensive. In their view, taking the initiative to attack is simply seeking death. Although there is no danger in the rocky wasteland, at least two trenches have been dug and the wall is barely adequate.
With 120,000 soldiers huddled together, they were able to block the opponent's attack.
But Li Xiaomo doesn't think so. He has always believed that only by being able to attack can we defend, and only by being able to fight can we make peace. He is not Bian Zhongxing and Hiroshi, who can keep his defense line airtight and watertight. But even Bian Zhongxing can't.
There is offense in defense, and both offense and defense are complete. The reason why the Li family was able to successfully negotiate with Hetao in the first place was due to Li Xiaomo's personal factors, but the tyrannical strength shown by the Li family in the battle of Caiziba still made Hetao look at him with suspicion. Moreover, Li
Xiao Mo does not think that he is a mediocre player.
Therefore, regardless of the opposition of all the soldiers, he resolutely led a thousand cavalry to attack Hengshi Hasan's 200,000 troops, trying to buy time for the Hetao soldiers as much as possible. Hengshi Hasan never expected that Hetao would dare to attack Hengshi under such circumstances.
The absolutely inferior force came to challenge his majesty, and he suffered a small loss immediately. What made him even more angry was that this happened three times.
"It will be dark in an hour at most. By then the cavalry's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and we can gain another day." Li Xiaomo said with a sigh of relief.
However, he was still a little worried. The Xuesha cavalry had not returned yet, and there was even no news from him. He was not worried about Xuesha's safety. With Xuesha's skills, he was sure to escape even among thousands of troops.
Shengtian. Besides, he has 30,000 elite cavalry beside him. But if the Blood Killing cannot come back in time, with his own prestige, he will not be able to call on the 70,000 infantry of the Blood Killing Legion. The generals and soldiers are not unified and have different orders. How can they fight against the murderous intent outside?
Two hundred thousand Iron Eagle Cavalry?
Zhu Shitan seemed to see through Li Xiaomo's worries and said with a smile: "Legion Commander, Blood Commander is not here, you are the person with the highest rank here. I hope you can take on the important task of leading the army against the Iron Eagle Cavalry."
Looking at Zhu Shitan's magnanimous and selfless eyes, Li Xiaomo was suddenly moved. This is a soldier from Hetao. He is broad-minded, hot-blooded, heroic and knowledgeable. In terms of qualifications, Li Xiaomo can't compete with Zhu Shitan, who was born in Qingyun.
Compared with the veterans who garrisoned thousands of cavalry. In terms of military strength, Zhu Shitan was the chief of staff of the Blood Killing Army, with a total of 70,000 soldiers under him. In terms of military rank, he was the commander of the second-line army or the surrendered army, and the other party was Haotian's
As the chief of staff of the main legion, both sides were equally matched. However, the other side resolutely gave up the general power to him. Such magnanimity really convinced Li Xiaomo.
Li Xiaomo cupped his hands and said: "I don't want to be the commander. I just hope that our two armies can work closely together and nothing can go wrong before the bloody commander comes back."
Zhu Shi didn't talk much, just chatted for a few words, and then left in a hurry with his own soldiers. He also wanted to inspect the walls built by his legionnaires and replenish the necessary defensive equipment.
Seeing Zhu Shitan's back getting further and further away, Li Duo suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, Hetao values you very much."
"Don't call me that in the future, so as not to cause misunderstanding." Li Xiaomo said displeasedly, but frowned and sighed slightly: "Hetao has a broad mind, as long as there are no second thoughts, as long as you have talent
, can be reused. But the key is that although some people are talented, they have weird minds. Alas."
Li Duo, Li Hao and others around him did not dare to speak. They followed Li Xiaomo from the Jingxi Prince's Mansion, first to the Broken Legion, and later to the Flying Bear Legion. Naturally, they knew that Li Xiaomo was worried.
Something. To be honest, they are also very worried, but they are too far apart now and can't even receive news from there, so their concern is in vain.
Li Xiaomo looked up at the flaming clouds in the sky, and suddenly felt a little emotional. Is the situation of the Li family in Qinchuan as gorgeous as this flaming cloud? However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is just a flash in the pan. Soon, these flaming clouds will be extinguished.
In the darkness of night. Where is Qinchuan's future?
"The Li family of Qinchuan has strengthened its control over the four southern states, as has the Zhang family of Huaishui and Gu Changfeng of Dahu Road. They constantly use various excuses to replace lower-level officials and replace their own confidants.
The internal personnel of the Po Li, Ding Nan and Yellow Turban legions have made certain adjustments, because those who have a good impression of us in Hetao and are loyal to us have been incorporated into the Flying Bear Legion, so they have been able to deploy a large number of people." Chu Xiangcheng.
In his study room, Guanying said in detail.
"Hmm." Chu Xiangcheng nodded and said noncommittally: "What they are adding to the army now should be the power they had hidden before, right? I have known for a long time that each of them must have something hidden, and it is just as I expected.
If they don't come forward on their own initiative, it will be very difficult for us to know their situation."
Guanying lowered his head and said honestly: "Prime Minister Zuo, my subordinates were negligent."
Chu Xiangcheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this. These are the essence of their family for hundreds of years. I am afraid that except for the family master and the young master, few people in the whole family know about it. Hey, such a simple game of playing hard to get is not enough.
I don’t understand. I really don’t know if Li Tieming and others are too old to live like a dog or if they are too old and confused because of their interests.”
"I don't think so." In the corner of the study, Bian Zhongxing hugged Hao'an and tilted his head and said: "They may think they can escape our surveillance. After all, we now control the entire empire. We need to pay attention to where we are.
There are simply too many. If we hadn’t deliberately made great efforts to investigate, we wouldn’t have known they were so mischievous behind the scenes.”
Guanying also nodded in agreement. There may be a lot of idiots in the Zhang family in Huaishui, but Qinchuan Li Tieming and Dahu Gu Changfeng are definitely not fuel-efficient lamps. These two people were already well-known decades ago, if not
Soul Eater's meticulous care will definitely not be able to catch them.
Chu Xiangcheng smiled and said: "I wonder what Commander Bian thinks?"
Bian Zhongxing said with a sly smile: "It all depends on what you want, sir. If you want to uproot them, then just wait. They won't take the initiative before the time comes. And if they do it now, they will."
It’s easy to say that what the lord hates most is betrayal and betrayal, so we don’t want to step on the lord’s painful toes.”
Although Bian Zhongxing didn't say it out loud, he also made his intention clear, which was to keep waiting. Either don't do it, or do it absolutely. This is the creed of Loop. It's not that I haven't given you the opportunity, but since you are still not honest
, then don’t blame the Loop for not giving you face.
Chu Xiangcheng thought for a moment and said: "Guanying, keep a close eye on your Soul Eater. Don't forget that we still have many officials south of the river. They are the foundation for our future rule of this huge empire in Hetao.
We must not let anything happen. In addition, we must keep a close eye on Yaochi Jade Palace, Yanyu Ninghua Palace and Mingjian Villa to prevent them from ruining our major event."
Guan Ying bowed his head and said: "I obey." However, he hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth again: "Sir, these three families have been closely watched by us, but there are many strange people in the world. If they also follow suit, I will worry about our
People can’t see so much.”
Talents have emerged in large numbers in the wilderness since ancient times, just like Xuesha Dugu among the five generals in Hetao, who was born in the Jianghu. Luo Xiang himself was the first of the top ten masters in China who once made a name for himself in the world. For these people, Chu
Xiangcheng also has some concerns.
"I will ask Chu Er and the others to fully assist you. The Shenzhou Martial League has a good relationship with us. You can find Jiao Zhongxin and he will give us the face of Hetao." Chu Xiangcheng said.
Guanying continued: "Sir, what I am actually worried about is the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect has been inherited for thousands of years. It is the oldest and most secretive sect in China. It is the bloodthirsty demon Jundu among the eight masters of evil ways.
He is the leader of the Japanese sect among the three sects of the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect has not appeared in the world for decades, and there must be many masters in the sect."
Chu Xiangcheng laughed. If Guanying was talking about other sects, he might not understand it yet, but when it came to the Demon Sect, he did know a little bit about the inside story: "Guanying, don't worry, the Demon Sect will definitely not dare to challenge the majesty of my Loop."
"Why?" Guan Ying and Bian Zhongxing both asked curiously. The Demon Sect has always been vicious and unscrupulous in its actions. If the Demon Sect is targeted, even Da Luo Jinxian will have a headache. But listening to Chu Xiangcheng's tone, it seems that
Disdainful of the magic gate.
"About thirty years ago, the Demon Sect was reunited under the leadership of Yu Hanshuang, their genius leader who was said to be extremely talented and rare to see in a thousand years. They were preparing to march into the martial arts world to dominate the martial arts world, but happened to provoke Han Feng. Han Feng was furious.
, went to the main altar of the Demon Sect alone, killed more than ten senior members of the Demon Sect, including Yu Hanshuang, and stole the treasure of the Demon Sect's Sect. Since then, he has become famous all over the world. Haven't you noticed that as long as our Hetao power is within reach?
Wherever you go, the people of the Demon Sect have always acted honestly and do not dare to be arrogant and domineering?"
When Guanying heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Without the involvement of the Demon Sect, the oldest and most mysterious sect in the world, and with the assistance of Shenzhou Martial League, Chu Er and others, he would have been much better at dealing with the people in the world.
I'm somewhat sure.
Guanying suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "The left prime minister, the border commander, and the dragon army Shu Lan sent back the ship to report that they had arrived at the east coast of the Yan Continent and were now heading west along the narrow sea channel pointed out by the local indigenous people.
, it is said that through here, one can reach the waters of the Kingdom of Constantine on the Western Continent. However, this seaway is not only densely covered with rocks but also has high winds and waves. Only one or two out of ten ships can pass through it smoothly, so Shu Lan recorded all the logs.
Sent back."
Chu Xiangcheng frowned, Bian Zhongxing held Hao'an with one hand, and said with some worry: "Shu Lan is a little too adventurous. Since the Ming Empire, no fleet has reached the east coast of Yan Continent. Besides, this seaway
It's so difficult and dangerous, so he should take a detour."
When Chu Xiangcheng heard this, his frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It is because we have such pioneering athletes in Hetao that we can dominate the world and look down upon Yunei. Although Shu Lan took a little risk, but if it really
If we can find a sea route to the distant Western Continent, it is considered worthwhile. Besides, it will take at least twenty days for the news to come back, and we will be too late to stop it."
Bian Zhongxing also understood that this was the case, so he forced a smile and continued to tease Hao'an in his arms.
The two brothers Hao Jin were sent back by Xian Lianchen, which immediately made Chu Xiangcheng, He Yu and others from Tiandu Shengjing very happy. Although they were also concerned about Haotian's health, they had not seen these two for such a long time.
Little guy, I still miss you very much. The two brothers returned to Tiandu Shengjing and were quite active. In the morning, He Yu wanted to go out for a walk, and Hao Jin was active by nature, so he pestered him to follow him.
He also wanted to go out with Hao Jin, but Chu Xiangcheng was afraid that He Yu could not take care of the two children by himself, so he left Hao An behind. Of course, He Yu also had enough guards around him to protect his safety.
As for Xian Lianchen, after sending the Qingyun and the Hao Jin brothers back to the Holy Capital of Tiandu, she immediately led her three thousand personal soldiers to rush outside the Great Wall. She is not only Haotian's wife, but also his personal soldier.
As someone of the same age, it is her duty to protect Haotian's safety.
Guanying saw that he had nothing to do, so he withdrew. Haotian was not in Tiandu Shengjing, so the matters of Chu Xiangcheng and others were naturally quite complicated. In fact, he also had a lot of matters of his own, so he didn't
No need to waste time here.
As soon as Guanying left, Chu Xiangcheng was in a daze holding the wolf-hair brush while Bian Zhongxing continued to tease Hao'an with a smile. Suddenly, Hao'an's laughter was the only thing left in the study.
After a long time, Bian Zhongxing finally opened his mouth and asked: "Sir, what on earth is causing you such a headache?" He and Chu Xiangcheng have been partners for many years. When he saw Chu Xiangcheng's appearance, he immediately understood that Chu Xiangcheng had something to do.
In his opinion, this was most likely for Chu Jianhuan. If it were not his own brother, someone like Chu Xiangcheng, he would not be so upset.
Chu Xiangcheng saw through Bian Zhongxing's thoughts and said with a smile: "It's not because of Mingjian Villa. Although Jian Huan has a stubborn temper, his mother is still here and Lian Feng is quite knowledgeable. He can't change the world. Bian Shuai, Jin'er
Six years old."
"Six years old? Yes, I'm already six years old before I know it." Bian Chongxing said with an effort, smiling. Although Bian Chongxing has been accompanied by two adopted sons over the years, the smiles on Bian Chongxing's face have become more and more, but he still smiles
There is a feeling of rigidity.
He was teasing Hao'an and didn't care about the meaning of Chu Xiangcheng's words. After a while, Bian Zhongxing was suddenly startled and looked sideways at Chu Xiangcheng: "Sir, you don't know how?"
Chu Xiangcheng smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. My sister-in-law has been nagging me in front of me for the past two days, saying that Jin'er has been chanting Ji'er's name every night since she came back. I was just thinking, Jin'er
My son is already six years old, and he is barely sensible. Look, isn’t he?”
Bian Zhongxing's eyebrows were also wrinkled together. After his eyebrows were wrinkled, they formed a typical inverted figure eight shape. Hao'an found it interesting and stretched out his white hand, and kept scratching Bian Zhongxing's face. Bian Zhongxing
He was so depressed, but for his adopted son, he doted on him even more than Haotian. He dodged a few times and was afraid of hurting Hao'an. In the end, he could only let Hao'an's small hands scratch his face.
Come and catch them.
"Ji'er is twenty this year. If it hadn't been for the war, Ji'er would have been engaged or even married. Well, that's a question. But, does Ji'er like Hao Jin? What I mean is, well, you understand, sir.
." He said while dodging Hao An while walking again.
Chu Xiangcheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "This old man doesn't know, who can say clearly about the children? Ji'er is not a person who covets wealth, and he can be regarded as someone who we have watched grow up, and his character is absolutely
No problem. But what I want to know is how she feels about Hao Jin, or whether she has feelings at all."
Bian Zhongxing also had a headache. He had no heirs, and his family had died in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. He didn't know much about this. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Otherwise, we can combine our ideas with Jin's."
Write a letter to Mistress Xin Jiao about Er's current situation and ask her to test Ji'er's tone. If circumstances permit, then publicly propose marriage to Ji'er."
Chu Xiangcheng was startled: "Commander Bian, is this too fast? Jin'er is only six years old."
"The problem is that Ji'er is already twenty. In ordinary people, now is the time to talk about marriage. If we don't start early, who knows whether there will be problems in the future." Bian Zhongxing said confidently.
