Behind them are the five thousand Yong troops pressing the formation.
Lei Xingkong led everyone in the forward battalion and quickly walked up to the leading captain. He performed a military salute and said loudly: "Lei Xingkong from the forward battalion is here to give orders."
The captain was stunned for a moment and said nothing. He couldn't help but keep looking at Lei Xingkong, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
At this time, not only him, but also the five thousand Yong troops looked at Lei Xingkong and everyone in the forward battalion with the same shock in their eyes.
Just now, they had been watching the formation from behind, and they could see the entire battle clearly.
Because of this, they felt even more shocked.
The barbarians sent out more troops than the forward battalion from the beginning, and then added two hundred Skyfire Wolf Cavalry, and in the end they actually sent out a shaman... With such a force, even if there were more than five thousand elites in the Yong Army array,
Although there was no chance of winning, unexpectedly, the vanguard battalion won with only a thousand troops, and the barbarian army was killed until only a hundred or so people fled back in panic.
Moreover, this was not what shocked them the most. What shocked them the most was the last sword that the vanguard Yingying used. With just one sword, he killed all the five hundred barbarian soldiers and the barbarian shaman. Such a method
Isn’t it just like the God of Killing?
Of course, among the five thousand Yong soldiers, there are also those who are discerning. Naturally, they can see what kind of cultivation is required to make such a sword. There are almost no soldiers in the county who can practice the Canglong Jue to this level, so they see
Lei Xingkong was as if he had seen a god-man, he was shocked and admired.
Lei Xingkong frowned when he saw that the leading captain was silent, and then said: "Our battalion suffered heavy casualties in this battle. If your Excellency has no other instructions, I would like to take the brothers back to the camp to rest first."
The captain came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and did not dare to give any "other orders". He could only nod his head and said: "Okay, then... then withdraw the troops!"
"promise!"
Lei Xingkong agreed and waved for everyone in the vanguard camp behind him to leave. However, he thought for a moment and then said, "Sir, I have one more thing I would like to ask you to help me with."
The captain was startled for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lei Xingkong pointed to the battlefield behind him and said in a deep voice: "In the melee just now, the sergeants of our battalion made a lot of achievements. I would like to ask you to take their bodies back so that they can be sent back home in the future."
The captain was startled again.
Normally, the bodies of iron officials and disciples who died on the battlefield would not be collected and sent back to their hometowns. At most, after the war, three or five old soldiers would be sent to pull their bodies to the nearby wilderness, dig a big hole and bury them.
Well, at this time, Lei Xingkong asked him to collect the corpses of those iron officials and disciples, which seemed a bit rude.
Looking at Lei Xingkong with a cold face, the captain was about to open his mouth to scold him, but when his eyes touched Lei Xingkong's clear and bright eyes, he suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, and he scolded him.
It became: "Okay."
"Thank you, sir!"
Lei Xingkong nodded in thanks, turned around and followed his forward battalion away.
"Well, this kid has such murderous intent!"
The captain looked at Lei Xingkong's back and couldn't help but murmur to himself. After watching for a while, he took a long breath, then turned to the messenger beside him and said: "Have someone send the soldiers of the forward camp
Take back all the corpses!"
"promise!"
The herald agreed and sent the order quickly.
…
Lei Xingkong was walking among the people in the forward camp when he suddenly saw Long Rui approaching and said, "Sir, you can collect the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle. I would like to thank you for your compassion on their behalf!"
"Um?"
Lei Xingkong turned to look at Long Rui.
Long Rui had always called him "Guan Ye", but now he changed it and called him "Sir", which was obviously more respectful.
After thinking about it, Lei Xingkong shook his head and said: "You did a good job today. If you hadn't worked hard, we wouldn't have been able to win this time, so there is no need to say these kind words."….
After saying that, he ignored Long Rui and strode forward.
Long Rui looked at Lei Xingkong with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
…
After passing the city head, Marquis Jieyi and the three captains and others had already left.
Lei Xingkong led the people quickly through the city gate, Wengcheng, and entered Yanyun Fortress.
"Brothers from the Forward Battalion, you are doing well!"
"Grandma, it's been a long time since I killed a barbarian dog with such majesty. Well done!"
"Master Yingzheng, is your surname Lei? Our Qingshui County is about to produce another strong general!"
"I heard that Lei Ying is from the county. A certain person is also from the county. Being from the same hometown as Lei Ying, a certain Qi Xiaoqi will be happy!"
On the top of the city, the Yong soldiers who were guarding the city defenses all focused their attention on the vanguard battalion and saluted them, and many of them even cheered loudly.
Lei Xingkong kept silent and walked forward quickly.
At this time, he just wanted to return to the barracks quickly and meditate to recuperate his energy.
The soul power he had just obtained on the battlefield was too much. He needed time to "digest" this soul power and condense it into a solid foundation so that the foundation would not be unstable in the future.
Although the soldiers at the outpost behind him were all proud of themselves, they also remained calm when they saw that their master Yingzheng did not say a word.
On the contrary, the iron officials and the people under Chen Zhongxing's command all straightened their chests, smiled and accepted the praises of the victors from around them.
After leaving the Wengcheng, the iron officials and disciples wanted to return their weapons and cotton armor, but the one who received them was Zhong Laosi who was guarding the city gate before.
Zhong Laosi came to Lei Xingkong respectfully and saluted: "Lei Yingzheng, I was so negligent when I entered the city last night. I hope you have a lot, so don't worry about it!"
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "When you entered the city last night, you were just doing a routine, how could you be negligent?"
When Zhong Laosi heard this, he immediately smiled and praised sincerely: "Well, Lei Ying is worthy of being the young hero of our county."
He had been guarding Yanyun for many years, and he had just seen Lei Xingkong's performance of galloping and killing on the battlefield, and he was already in awe of him. Now he saw Lei Xingkong's expression when he spoke, and knew that Lei Xingkong really didn't take the matter to heart, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Lei Xingkong respected him even more.
…
Soon we returned to the simple camp of Forward Camp.
Lei Xingkong was about to enter the camp when he heard Long Rui's voice coming from behind him: "Sir, please stay."
Turning around, I saw Long Rui and all the iron officials kneeling on the ground.
"how?"
Lei Xingkong was secretly thinking about what these guys were going to do, when Long Rui said again: "I'll thank you for your kindness!"
After saying that, he should bow down first.
Then, the other iron officials and disciples also bowed to each other and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness!"
"Everyone get up!" Lei Xingkong waved his hands and said, "Actually, there is no need to be grudge-y. You are going out with me. Even if you are Pao Ze who lives and dies with me, I am just doing my duty to kill the enemy. You can survive."
Your destiny is just your own luck, what does it have to do with me?"
"no!"
Long Rui shook his head and said: "Today on the battlefield, your Excellency and these brothers under your command contributed the most. We all pay attention to it. Facing such a force of barbarians, if not for the protection of Your Excellency, we would have become ghosts in the wilderness. How could we survive?"
Do you want to come down? Now after this battle, the brothers have accumulated enough military merits to leave this place and return to their hometowns to start their lives again. It can be said that your great kindness to us is really like reincarnation."
Lei Xingkong thought about it, and he was right.
In this battle, only a hundred or so of the more than a thousand barbarians fled back, and they killed a thousand people, including two hundred barbarians and a barbarian shaman. The military merits here were even led by Lei Xingkong and the soldiers at the outpost.
After walking most of it, the rest is enough for these iron officials and disciples to share...
Moreover, at this time, there were less than 300 iron officials and disciples, which was not a large number. Most of those who survived were relatively brave people who had accumulated a lot of military merits before, especially men like Long Rui and Huang.
People, their military merits have been accumulated for a long time, just a little difference, so if they are divided equally this time, they will definitely be able to gather enough military merits to leave Yanyun Fortress alive.
"Okay, since you said so, I will accept your worship." After a slight pause, Lei Xingkong said solemnly: "There is one thing I want to tell you. I hope you will live a good life after returning home.
, don’t do those evil things again, otherwise you will be thrown into jail again and it will not be so easy to escape!”
"promise!"
All the iron officials and disciples responded in unison and bowed to him again.
Lei Xingkong turned around and entered the account, found a seat inside and sat down, preparing to adjust his breath.
Just as he sat down, a man walked out of the tent and said respectfully: "Lei Yingzheng!"
Lei Xingkong took a look and saw that it was Chen Zhongxing. This fat man was standing in front of the tent door with a flattering smile.
"Master Chen, is something wrong?"
Lei Xingkong thought for a while, not knowing what the fat man wanted to do after following him all the way to the forward camp. However, Chen Zhongxing and his men had also worked hard on the battlefield before, so Lei Xingkong said again: "Just now, I
On the battlefield, I haven't thanked the captain and the brothers for helping me in the battle, so I'm going to say thank you to you face to face here."
"Don't be polite, don't be polite!"
Hearing Lei Xingkong's serious thanks, the fat captain's face suddenly burst into laughter, and he waved his hands modestly.
Lei Xingkong asked again: "Master Chen, if you have any questions, just tell me!"
The fat captain was silent for a moment, then suddenly he knelt down and said with a mournful face: "Lei Yingzheng, you have to save me!"
I have to say that this fat man is really good at changing his face. Just a moment ago, he had a smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye, there was a complete reversal, which made people think they were dazzled.
After looking at Chen Zhongxing's fat face, Lei Xingkong remained calm and asked: "Master Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Zhongxing quickly recounted the story of how Luo Liqun wanted to "harm" him. In his narration, he described the incident as follows: He was hated by the Colonel Protecting the North because he defended Lei Xingkong.
Lei Xingkong listened quietly, weighing in his mind how much of the fat man's words were true and how much of them were false.
"Although this fat man doesn't speak honestly, it's true that he was sent into battle today, which means Luo Liqun really wants to kill him... Well, he couldn't stay with Luo Liqun any longer, so he came to me. As long as this is
If it’s true, I won’t be afraid of him cheating.”
After thinking for a while, Lei Xingkong asked: "Mr. Chen, after you said so much, I probably understand. Well, what do you want to do now?"
Without saying a word, Chen Zhongxing immediately expressed his loyalty: "Lei Yingzheng, given my current situation, I can only rely on you from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do, without any hesitation."
"What, you want to take refuge in me?"
Lei Xingkong was slightly surprised, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Chen, you are the captain, and I am the little camp commander. No matter what, you are my superior officer. If you want to take refuge with me, then
Why talk about it?"
In the army, official rank has always been highly valued. It can be said that the military camp is a world with distinct classes.
Chen Zhongxing is the captain and Lei Xingkong is the camp commander. Their official positions are several levels apart.
At this time, Chen Zhongxing suddenly said that he would seek refuge with Lei Xingkong, which really made people laugh or cry.
Faced with Lei Xingkong's joking, Chen Zhongxing seemed unaware, and instead said seriously: "Lei Yingzheng, after being in contact with you these days, I have seen that you are not just a creature in the pond, and you value love and righteousness.
I have great admiration in my heart, so I made up my mind to join you. Moreover, I have offended Colonel Hubei. If I want to survive in this county army, only Captain Yu of Xuanjie School can protect me. You are born Lord Yu.
Under the account, my surrender to you is equivalent to my surrender to Captain Xuanjie. If I can get the protection of Captain Xuanjie in the future, Hubei will naturally no longer be able to seek my life so blatantly."...
After hearing Chen Zhongxing's words, the smile on Lei Xingkong's face gradually faded.
It seems that this fat man is not only smart, but also sees the situation clearly.
He offended Luo Liqun, the captain of the North Guard School. If he wanted to survive, he could only get the protection of Yu Hongtian, the captain of the Xuanjie School. Lei Xingkong was Yu Hongtian's nephew and confidant. Taking refuge in Lei Xingkong was naturally equivalent to taking refuge in Yu Hongtian.
To put it bluntly, the person he wanted to seek refuge with was not Lei Xingkong, but Yu Hongtian.
Seeing that Lei Xingkong didn't say anything, the fat man quickly cried and begged: "Lei Yingzheng, please accept me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in the camp..."
Seeing the fat man's tears and runny nose, Lei Xingkong felt funny in his heart. With the fat man's character, his appearance at this time was naturally fake.
He thought for a while and asked with a deliberate smile: "It's not impossible for you to seek refuge with me, but how will it help me? Hmm... Mr. Chen, to put it bluntly, you are too timid to go into battle to kill the enemy. I will take the risk."
At the risk of offending Captain Hu Bei, there should be some reward for introducing you to Uncle Yu?"
When the fat man heard this, he stopped crying. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately said: "Lei Yingzheng is right. I am a timid person. I can't even go into battle to kill the enemy. However, if Captain Xuanjie can take me in,
I will definitely help Colonel Xuanye get more connections."
"Oh?" Lei Xingkong was confused, "What do you mean?"
Chen Zhongxing said in a low voice: "Lei Yingzheng, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I usually like to inquire about other people's secrets. This... if these things are used well, it will help Captain Xuanjie control everyone in the camp.
It will definitely be of great help.”
Lei Xingkong frowned slightly, villains are villains, and this fat man is indeed not a good person. The meaning behind his words is to use other people's secrets to coerce and control them.
However, Lei Xingkong then thought about it. Yu Hongtian was born in the army and had a heroic nature. He was surrounded by such people, but he lacked the help to do shady things. At this time, Chen Zhongxing was just right.
"It's just...this fat man is so cunning, can he be trusted?"
Lei Xingkong looked at Chen Zhongxing and thought to himself: "Although he is a villain, he has offended Luo Liqun. Among the county soldiers, only his uncle from the Yu family can protect him, so no matter what, he can only serve the Yu family wholeheartedly."
Uncle has done something."
Thinking of this, Lei Xingkong immediately made up his mind: "Okay, Mr. Chen, you go back first, and I will introduce you to Uncle Yu!"
Chen Zhongxing was overjoyed when he heard this and said excitedly: "Thank you Lei Yingzheng, thank you Lei Yingzheng..."
Lei Xingkong waved his hand, then deliberately hit Chen Zhongxing, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Chen, there is something you need to remember before this. If you dare to double-deal in the future and do something that harms my uncle of the Yu family,
Son, don’t blame me for being ruthless, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, I will make you worse than life or death.”
When speaking, Lei Xingkong had murderous intent on his face and made no secret of it.
When Chen Zhongxing saw it, he immediately felt as if his skin had been scratched by swords. He couldn't help but said loudly: "No, no, I will never do such a thing. Lei Ying is just rest assured."
"Okay, just remember!"
Lei Xingkong smiled slightly and waved for Chen Zhongxing to leave.
Chen Zhongxing felt relieved. The chill that had previously enveloped his whole body seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the cold sweat on his back.
Seeing Lei Xingkong's gesture, Chen Zhongxing didn't dare to talk nonsense, and quickly turned around and left. As he walked, he was secretly shocked in his heart: "You are so young, and you carry such a heavy evil spirit. You are really a god of death, you are really a god of death..."
