Yue Qing made such a domineering declaration, and the Macheng defenders under his command all let out excited shouts.
For the Han people, it was really a joyful thing to be able to defeat the strong Xiongnu with the advantage of formation.
Ninglu gritted his teeth. Now he was obviously in a dilemma.
If it were to fight, it would be impossible to defeat Yue Qing's extremely complex Four Symbol Formation.
If he retreated, he had sworn to their Kofu Chanyu before he came that he would definitely bring back the murderer's head.
If he returns in defeat now, he will definitely have no face to gain a foothold in the Kofu camp.
Seeing Ning Lu's hesitant look, Da Bin, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and reminded with narrowed eyes: "General Ning Lu, in fact, there is no need for us to attack Ma City. The murderer lives in Wolong Village. Let's go directly to Wolong Village.
Just capture him."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did I lose so many soldiers in vain?" Ninglu scolded sternly.
Dabin was also aggrieved as much as he wanted. He originally wanted to rely on Ninglu's Xiongnu army to show his pride in front of Ma City.
Who would have thought that Ning Lu was so unsatisfactory that he couldn't even beat Yue Qing?
Immediately, Ning Lu got off the slope and no longer chose to fight with Yue Qing. Instead, he waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and goes to Wolong Village!"
After receiving this order, hundreds of Xiongnu soldiers under Ninglu's command began to turn around and march toward Wolong Village.
"No, they want to go to Wolong Village to cause trouble for those children!" Yue Qing saw Ninglu's intention at a glance and wanted to lead his army to pursue them.
At this moment, Jiagou, who saw the Huns retreating, came out of the city and asked, "Yue Qing, where are you going?"
Yue Qing reported the truth: "For the magistrate, I saw that Ninglu led his army to the direction of Wolong Village. The general guessed that he was going to cause trouble for Qi Tian and others, so he wanted to lead his army to help."
Jia Gou said impatiently: "What does it matter to you when they go to Wolong Village? You are the guard captain of Macheng, and it is your mission to protect Macheng."
"This..." Yue Qing frowned, obviously not expecting Jia Gou to say this.
How is this magistrate usually so upright, but why is he so selfish at critical moments? Is it all just an act?
Jia Gou waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Ninglu is just one of the generals under Ke Fu. Maybe Ke Fu will send another general to attack Macheng."
"If you go to aid Wolong Village, then the people of Macheng will suffer. Do you think that compared to the villagers of Wolong Village, the people of Macheng and I are not important?"
Jia Gou's words caused Pang Ru'an to quickly echo: "That's right, General Yue Qing, you should be able to tell which one is stronger and which one is more important."
Yue Qing had no choice but to lead the army back to the city, but before returning to the city, he ordered one of his soldiers to rush to Wolong Village with a whip and report to Qi Tian about the Xiongnu army's attack on their village.
Seeing this, Jia Gou couldn't help but sneer and joke: "You can't tell, General Yue Qing, you are very kind-hearted."
Yue Qing said silently: "Lord County Magistrate, after all, Wolong Village is still a village under our Ma City. We can't just watch it fall and not save each other, right?"
Jia Gou sighed and said: "Hey, Yue Qing, do you think I don't want to save you? But the people of Macheng still need our protection. If I want to save them, I can't do anything at all..."
Those words again.
Yue Qing was speechless as much as he could. He could only pray that Qi Tian and the others could withstand the Xiongnu attack and nothing would happen...
At the entrance of Wolong Village, led by Da Bin, Ning Lu led his Xiongnu troops and rushed here.
Seeing that the village was empty inside and outside, Ninglu couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why is it so quiet? Could it be that these Han people knew that we were coming?"
Dabin scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I don't know much about this, but General Ninglu, you must be careful. That boy named Qi Tian has quite a lot of abilities."
"Haha, no matter how capable he is, he is just a farm boy. Am I still afraid of him?" Ninglu said disdainfully while leading his army towards the village.
However, before they got too far in, they heard a whooshing sound, and hundreds of sharp arrows were fired from the darkness.
"Get away!" Ninglu shouted and ordered, but in the end, dozens of Xiongnu soldiers were shot into hedgehogs and died on the spot.
In response, Ninglu looked extremely angry and kept yelling: "Get out, get out of here!"
Wow~
The sound of large footsteps sounded, and more than thirty villagers holding repeating crossbows walked out, led by three young men, one with a majestic face, one with dark skin, and one with a face like a crown of jade.
It was the three tyrants of Wolong Village, Qi Tian, Xu Qing and Hu Yan.
It turned out that after Qitian Huyan and others received the news from Yue Qing's people, they evacuated most of the Wolong villagers, and they led the Wolong Village hunting team to lay an ambush in order to defeat the invading Huns.
Defend.
After seeing Qi Tian and others, Dabin immediately pointed at them excitedly and said to Ning Lu, "It's them, General Ning Lu, they are the murderers!"
Seeing Dabin's appearance, Qi Tian couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Dabin, why don't you be a good person, but why do you want to be a dog of the Han people?"
Dabin said plausibly: "You are not a dog, Qi Tian, from the day you snatched away my beloved woman, I swore that I must become stronger and make you pay the price!"
Dabin's words made Qi Tian seem to be some heinous villain.
Qi Tian was speechless as much as he wanted, and waved his hand directly: "Okay, since you want to seek death, then I will satisfy you!"
Immediately, Qi Tian issued an order for thirty members of the hunting team to raise their repeating crossbows and prepare to fire.
Upon seeing this, Dabin quickly turned his head and reminded Ninglu: "General Ninglu, you have to be careful, this guy makes a very powerful repeating crossbow."
"The repeating crossbows in their hands were made by that kid..." Ning Lu was very surprised. As a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, it was not difficult for him to see that just now Qi Tian only led 20 or 30 people to hide in the dark, but he could launch it at once
Shooting hundreds of arrows is all thanks to the continuous crossbow in his hand.
If every soldier in the Kofu army could have such a weapon, there would be hope for him to return to the Huns' interior for revenge.
Thinking of this, Ninglu raised his head and said to Qi Tian: "Boy, for the sake of your talent in making weapons, I don't care about your crime of killing my Xiongnu soldiers. As long as you follow me, you can make weapons for our Xiongnu army."
Weapons are enough.”
When he heard that Ninglu not only refused to kill Qitian, but also wanted to recruit him, Dabin immediately panicked: "General Ninglu, you must not do this!"
