Liu Qi sheathed his sword and pointed his finger at Chen Wudao who was lovingly fighting: "Brother Wen, even if I defeat the thief and defeat the king, I can stand up to these wealthy servants for a while and defeat the king, but I have defeated all these loyal and brave soldiers. How can I bear it?"
?withdraw."
"Alas, it's a bad start." Chen Wen sighed and looked at the guards who were rushing over to chase the officers and soldiers. It was true that Liu Qi said that if he continued to fight, more soldiers would be killed, not to mention Chen Wu and Deng Zhi.
The two of them had to force their way into the enemy formation, but they might not be able to kill the fat and wealthy local leader. They felt extremely regretful and lamented that their attack was not going to be successful, so they had no choice but to fight and retreat.
Exiting the local tyrant's courtyard and then exiting the city gate of Echeng, due to the heavy wind and snow, the local tycoon's servants stopped chasing. Liu Qi and his party were in a very embarrassed state. They retreated about two or three miles outside of Echeng. Seeing that there was no movement in the city, Liu Qi ordered them to leave.
While the ground was being renovated, the military quartet urgently discussed plans for another counterattack.
Chen Wen was confused by Liu Qi and asked in confusion: "Master, why did you retreat and fight again now that you didn't stand up to the enemy?"
Liu Qi said: "Before, our army was at a disadvantage, and fighting again would only increase casualties. Now that the wealthy servants have won, they will definitely relax. The wind and snow blew so hard that no one could stand, and the bodies were immediately covered by the heavy snow. Those servants naturally don't need to fight."
Cleaning the battlefield, we thought that after the officers and soldiers were defeated, they would surely return with pride and disarm and sleep. At this time, we sent out an elite death squad of ten people, led by General Wu and Brother Bo Miao. They rushed into the inner courtyard of the rich man at dawn.
We waited for an opportunity to assassinate the local tycoon leader, and then we sneaked into the outer courtyard to ambush and coordinate, and we were able to win in one fell swoop."
"Okay, Young Master is wise." After hearing this, Chen Wu immediately ordered generals. Before attacking Echeng, except for the 100 newly recruited bandit soldiers, the remaining 200 soldiers brought from Xiangyang were all trained by Chen Wu. Now the remaining
In the second half, Chen Wu knew who was the most agile and agile.
Chen Wu casually named ten strong soldiers, all of whom were former Liu Biao's soldiers in Xiangyang. The white clothes of these ten armored soldiers had turned into torn red shirts. They were covered with blood, and some of their faces were covered with blood.
There are also colorful decorations on it.
The ten-man death squad was immediately formed under Chen Wu's command. Three of the death squads looked very familiar. A scene flashed before Liu Qi's eyes. It turned out that they were the three soldiers who were whipped by Chen Wu during special training at the base camp in the Xiangyang Valley. Liu Qi had given them
The ones who passed the brocade robe were the three people in front of me.
It seems that the method of giving brocade robes to win over people's hearts has worked. These three soldiers who were once too thin to do a hundred push-ups and were whipped by Chen Wu have now become Chen Wu's first choice when choosing a dead soldier.
Chen Wu saw the look in Liu Qi's eyes and called out: "Chen Shang, Chen Zhong, Chen Xia, the three uncles are coming out."
"Yes." Chen Shang, Chen Zhong, and Chen Xia responded and stood out with their chests puffed out. Most of the young soldiers in ancient times had no names. Generals could be given names at any time. Chen Wu didn't have much culture. It was convenient to call them names for reference.
Liu Qi named the guards in the mansion Liu Yi, Liu Er, Liu San, Chen Jin, Chen Yin, etc., and gave the three names Chen Shang, Chen Zhong, and Chen Xia.
On the day when Liu Qi presented the brocade robes to the soldiers during the military training in Xiangyang Valley, Chen Wu gave the names of the three soldiers according to their age: upper, middle, and lower. Among the three soldiers, the eldest was Chen Shang, the older was Chen Zhong, and the youngest was Chen Shang.
Chen Xia and Chen Wu gave them special training at the same time. The three of them worked extremely hard due to the gift of robes from Liu Qi. During the training in the valley, they became the best in physical fitness and combat training subjects. Later, they were recommended by Chen Wu.
, before Liu Qi sent troops to the new country, he created a large number of officials and appointed him as Du Bo. He was so powerful that he could manage a team of fifty people.
Liu Qi walked through the knee-deep snow and walked up to Chen Shang, Chen Zhong and Chen Xia. He didn't say a word. He just straightened the three people's blood-colored white clothes that were blown to pieces by the wind. He patted the three people on their shoulders and seemed to have a look from the corner of his eyes.
If there are tears, I say: "Return to the team."
"Yes." The three uncles Chen Shang, Chen Zhong and Chen Xia saw that the young master Liu Qi was so emotional, and their hearts seemed to be burning. They wished they could immediately follow General Chen Wu to assassinate the local tycoon leader to repay the favor of the young master Liu Qi.
When Chen Shang and the other three returned to the team, Liu Qi cupped his fists and bowed to the ten-man suicide squad, choking with sobs and said: "In order to avenge the dead brothers, and in order that the people of Xinye will not starve to death and freeze to death, I am asking for this trip."
"Young Master..." The ten-man suicide squad called the Young Master together with hoarse voices, their chests full of excitement, and they were waiting for an opportunity to fight with the determination to die.
Liu Qi walked up to Deng Zhi again, pulled out the Goujian sword with a whoosh and handed it to Deng Zhi's hand. Deng Zhi was so shocked that he stepped back: "Young master, you can't."
Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Bo Miao, assassinate the local tycoon leader. Ten people are against a thousand troops. It is difficult to reach the sky. Kill the local tycoon leader with the King's Sword. Seeing swords is like seeing people. I hope all twelve of you will succeed with the sword."
Come back alive, I will wait for your King's Sword to capture the other two mansions."
After Liu Qi said it, Deng Zhi took the Gou Jian sword. At this time, it was useless to say more and more. He could only repay the kindness of Liu Qi with practical actions: "My lord, Deng is not talented. I am so loved by the lord. I can't do anything about it."
In return, I will use the King's Sword to kill the dog thief who fought with the government, and present the King's Sword in the inner courtyard to welcome the young master."
"Okay, you are ambitious." What Liu Qi wanted was Deng Zhi's words. He lent Deng Zhi the Goujian Sword to use in order to rekindle the morale of the newly defeated King of Yue. He also hoped that the kingly spirit of Yue King Goujian's sword could help Deng Zhi.
, Chen Wu lends a helping hand.
In order to protect the King's Sword from being lost to the enemy, the twelve-member death squad including Deng Zhi, Chen Wu and others will fight to the death until the local tycoon is killed. Liu Qi's move of lending Goujian Sword is extremely insidious and he did it out of necessity.
.
"Go and kill that thief. Remember to cook a pot of wine for my brother in the inner courtyard to keep out the cold. By the way, take the maids and women in the inner courtyard as well."
"Haha, the young master is waiting for good news. General Wu, let's go." Deng Zhi smiled heartily. I didn't expect that the young master could make a humorous joke at a critical moment. It was really a general who never changed his face even when the mountain collapsed.
With Liu Qi's Goujian Sword in his hands, Deng Zhi naturally became the leading figure in the temporarily formed death squad. Liu Qi's purpose of taking Deng Zhi as the leader was to determine that Deng Zhi was more capable of literary and military skills than Chen Wu.
.
Holding the Goujian sword in hand, Deng Zhi and Chen Wu tragically led a ten-man death squad back to the defeated manor without hesitation, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the local tycoon leader.
Liu Qi ordered the team to rest for a while. Although the remaining less than 200 people had been defeated, they were still high in fighting spirit, expecting the young master to give the order and return to the village to avenge the defeat.
Chen Wen looked at the row of deep footprints left by the death squads on the snow and said with worry: "Sir, this battle is going badly. Our last hope lies in these twelve soldiers. I hope we can kill the local tyrant and bully. Soldiers
Come back alive."
Liu Qi was also filled with emotion. Fighting is not a child's play, it is about killing people. He did not expect that the attack on Echeng would result in heavy casualties. One-third of the three hundred soldiers were lost. Hundreds of fresh lives will always be followed by his thought of attacking the city.
Even though the wind and snow have gone, this is the commander's responsibility.
The wind and snow were still all over the sky, and it was useless to lament. Liu Qi looked at the blood-red eyes of the soldiers. These soldiers followed Liu Qi in the battle. They were all loyal and brave soldiers who had not yet encountered the powerful troops of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in the future.
, it was such a complete defeat in the small county town of Xinye, it was simply a shame.
However, knowing shame and then being brave, Liu Qi is not the kind of person who blames others. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. What's more, the battle to attack the wealthy manor is far from over, because the death squads led by Deng Zhi and Chen Wu are still rushing to assassinate
On the journey of becoming a local tyrant, Liu Qi will not give up any opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
Liu Qi squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. After fighting all night, he was hungry, thirsty, sleepy and exhausted. If it weren't for the belief that the strong army was invincible supporting the soldiers, I'm afraid these officers and soldiers would not be able to survive.
Even if he was killed in battle, he would fall down in the snow and freeze to death from exhaustion.
"Brother Wen, please order the soldiers to satisfy their hunger with snow, fill their stomachs with them to quench their thirst, replenish their physical strength, and sneak back to the village to fight again later."
"Yes." Chen Wen choked with sobs. Liu Qi's words revealed the incomparable vicissitudes and perseverance. A general like the young master Liu Qi will be invincible. Tears accompanied by snowflakes fell on Chen Wen's delicate face.
slide.
Chen Wen knelt down, held up large snowballs with both hands, puffed out his chest, and shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers, the blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain. We are a strong army under the Young Master, and we are fought with iron fists."
To strengthen the army, in order to help the Han Dynasty, for the people of the world, and to repay the kindness of the young master Liu Qi, why should a man be afraid of death? It is an honor for soldiers to die on the battlefield and wrap their bodies in horse leather. Please satisfy your hunger with snow and capture Echeng.
You are the first-class heroes."
As Chen Wen spoke, he put a large handful of snow into his mouth and swallowed it alive without frowning. The soldiers were moved by Liu Qi's caring attitude and silently bent over to pick up the snow and put it into their mouths to chew to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger.
, even though the snow was so cold and tasteless when put in the mouth, the soldiers felt the turbulent warmth surging in their hearts because they were with the benevolent and brave commander Liu Qi.
As long as the true love is there, even a handful of cold snow melting in the mouth will still make people feel warm. As long as the fighting spirit is there, even if he dies on the battlefield, the man's awe-inspiring righteousness will last forever in this snowy world.
The soldiers held snow in tears to satisfy their hunger, with determination to die in their hearts, preparing to fight again with their coach Liu Qi. What a touching scene...
At the gate of Echeng City, the death squad led by Deng Zhi has sneaked into the city. There are no villagers guarding the city gate. It should be that the local tyrants only protect their own courtyards and have no management of the public city gate. This should be the result of the local tyrants' various sweeps.
The snow in front of the door represents the narrow air volume.
Liu Qi wiped his mouth and ate a few mouthfuls of snow. Although he felt very cold after eating, he quenched his thirst and filled his empty stomach, and his physical strength gradually recovered.
After a moment, Liu Qi waved his hand: "Brothers, let's go."
Liu Qi led the rest of his troops and strode into the wind and snow, marching towards Echeng again. This was the last battle with the local tycoons in Echeng. I prayed that God would bless Deng Zhi and Chen Wu's assassination operation to be successful. I also prayed that
There can be a turning point in the final battle.
Fighting opportunities can only be found in war. If they retreat to Xinye County, it will be a complete defeat. Liu Qi certainly understands this truth.
As long as you have a soldier in your hand, you must fight to the end, no matter in your previous life or rebirth, the same is true in life. Without the spirit of fighting hard, how can you create a glorious life? Liu Qi is not a person who is willing to fail in fate, let alone a person who is willing to live in life.
mediocre person.
Encouraged by Liu Qi, nearly two hundred soldiers fought their way back to Echeng in the wind and snow. Less than a mile away, a chirping sound suddenly came from behind. Liu Qi looked back and was shocked to see a large group of people behind him.
The rolling snowballs were followed by hundreds of suspected bandit soldiers.
Seeing this, Liu Qi looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, do you want me, Liu Qi, to die? Can't you let me be reborn in the Three Kingdoms and live a good life?"
