Chapter 347 Don’t talk about it
Although the elite knights blocking the road in front of Xu Zhongxing were wearing tattered leather jackets to show their identity as horse bandits, their disguises were too careless. They wore stainless steel lances and four-foot-long curved sabers that were bright and clear.
.Especially the saber, which is the standard weapon of the elite cavalry of the Southern Qi Dynasty.
The elite cavalry brought out by Wei Yuan had never been seen before. The armor was somewhere between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and the weapon in its hand was clearly the musket that Xu Zhongxing had just endured. Xu Zhongxing's face was as heavy as water, and he slowly lifted into the air.
Then I saw two Dharma figures rising on the horse bandits' side, and two Dharma figures puppets rising on Wei Yuan's side.
There is no suspense in this battle. No matter how powerful Xu Zhongxing is, it is difficult for him to defeat four of them. Besides, there is also Wei Yuan who is looking at him closely.
The leader of the horse bandits looks very young, and his cultivation level is only in the late stage of Daoji. However, the magic amplification and defense effects of his skills are amazing, and they have obvious effects on the Faxiang monks. With the support of his spells, the combat power of the four Faxiang monks has increased slightly, which makes Xu Zhongxing very
Uncomfortable.
There was no suspense on the battlefield below. Ten thousand elite cavalry faced off against the remnants of forty thousand calamities. It was a complete massacre.
Xu Zhongxing had no choice but to let his troops disperse and flee, while he kept an eye on the young horse bandit leader. He suddenly attacked with all his strength, instantly beheaded two horse bandit ministers, and rushed in front of the leader!
Li Zhi was shocked and screamed in his heart that he was unlucky. He fought for his life and took the blow from Xu Zhongxing. He destroyed two protective magic weapons with his sword and was able to escape.
For the rest of his life, Li Zhi couldn't figure it out. He had no reputation in this area, and he had the wrongdoer and the debtor. Xu Zhongxing should go to Wei Yuan. Why was he always staring at him?
Li Zhi didn't know that Xu Zhongxing had a sharp eye. After fighting Wei Yuan several times, he knew that Wei Yuan was extremely difficult to kill. I was afraid that he might not be able to kill Wei Yuan one-on-one, let alone now. So he turned to target him.
Li Zhi.
Seeing Xu Zhongxing's desperate efforts, Li Zhi's cavalrymen rushed back to protect their master without caring about killing the enemy, and many cavalrymen escaped. Xu Zhongxing saw that his goal was achieved, so he walked away. He was surrounded by four Dharma ministers, but he still wanted to
Just walk away, you can see the fierceness.
After capturing some remaining soldiers, Wei Yuan and Li Zhi joined forces and attacked another large camp. The two men moved like lightning. Things were already being packed in the camp and they were preparing to set fire to it. But Wei Yuan arrived before the fire could be lit.
The central defenders immediately dispersed and threw countless supplies and 50,000 civilians to Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan did not stay long, but made an agreement with Li Zhi to outflank them at a point on the map and meet here.
Then the two men each led their elite cavalry to attack for hundreds of miles, drawing a large circle, and finally met two hundred miles outside Hanyang Pass, and brought in more than 10,000 remaining soldiers. At the head of Hanyang Pass, four elders of the Xu Family Faxiang
Looking at the two lines of military energy crisscrossing the sky in the distance, they were both silent.
There are still 60,000 troops in Guanzhong, but no one proposed the matter of Guan's response. Instead, the four gates were tightly closed and the formation to protect the pass was opened early.
At this time, the news of the defeat of True Lord Prisoner Niu had spread among the upper echelons, but no one knew where Zhu Yuanjin was going. If they encountered this evil star head-on after leaving the city, none of the Dharma ministers would be able to bear her finger.
No one would have thought before that she could lie dormant in the Broken Realm for so long. She must have some treasure in her hand that can hide the secrets of heaven. If she can hide the way of heaven from the Broken Realm, she can naturally hide it from the spiritual perception of the monks.
A Dharma monk suddenly said: "Isn't she already in the city?"
Everyone shuddered subconsciously, and then glared at the Dharma-xiang. The Dharma-xiang realized that he had made a mistake and quickly smiled awkwardly. However, he smiled and smiled, which became more and more creepy.
In a bookstore in the city, a woman dressed in commoner clothes walked into the house. She was fair-skinned and had a rather charming figure.
She came to the counter, poured out a small handful of coins from her purse, and said, "Shopkeeper, here are some of the latest storybooks." The shopkeeper glanced at the woman greedily, and then took out seven or eight storybooks.
After watching the woman go out, the shopkeeper said to himself: "She looks pretty good, but why does she become more and more attractive the more you look at her?" He suddenly slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "Oh! I forgot to ask her what her name is.
Where do you live?" Bianning County County.
Sheriff Xu Xi stood at the top of the city, looking at the large group of cavalry passing around the city not far away. He was angry and frightened. The cavalry group took three to four thousand prisoners and headed west. Half of these prisoners were from the Xu family.
Half of the private army was the official army of the Western Jin Dynasty. Many people were about to flee to the county town, but were intercepted by the Qingming cavalry.
There was once a young officer on the top of the city who was arrogant and making noise. As a result, he was shot in the face and half of his head was lost on the spot.
From then on, no one in the city dared to speak, and no one dared to open the city for the defeated army. The Jin army on the city watched helplessly as the defeated army was captured and taken to Qingming.
Xu Xi knew the whole story, but at this moment his heart was filled with chills. He just thought: "An army of 300,000 people, with the True Lord in charge, how could they be defeated like this?!"
Xu Xi had no intention of leaving the city for a fight at the moment. Although he was a Dharma minister, he was a civil servant and was not good at fighting. Otherwise, he would not have been knocked unconscious by the cat's paw that day.
Both the Qingming cavalry and the horse bandits below the city were looking at Xu Xi on the top of the city with cold eyes, as if they wanted to remember his face. Xu Xi snorted and said "be on strict alert", then
He hurried down to the city.
The Western Region is indeed not a kind place. Jiedushi soldiers and horses openly walked with the horse bandits, shot and killed officers and soldiers at the slightest disagreement, and arrested officers and soldiers wantonly under the city walls. Where is the king's law? It took another whole day to deal with the aftermath.
, Wei Yuan and Li Zhi captured tens of thousands of defeated troops and sent them back to the realm together with 120,000 civilians, and the war came to an end.
In this battle, the five thousand light cavalry brought by Li Zhi also suffered hundreds of losses and a thousand were injured. Wei Yuan felt really sorry, so he took Li Zhi to a warehouse, ordered someone to take out a box of breastplates, and said: "Brother Li feels that
How about this armor?"
Li Zhi picked it up and looked at it carefully, and praised: "The steel quality is uniform and the defense is outstanding. It is good. It is high-quality armor. It can be equipped with the elites of Zhao Dynasty."
"Brother Li has come thousands of miles away to help me, but I really can't get anything in return. Your border area has just been established, and it's a time when military supplies are needed. I will give you five thousand sets of this armor as a thank you gift. How about it?"
Li Zhi was taken aback and said hurriedly: "How can this be done? It's too expensive! Besides, we are brothers, why don't you come if you are in trouble, Brother Yu? If I accept your things, won't I become a repayment of kindness?"
"
Wei Yuan smiled and said: "To be honest, I have great use for those civilian men. I originally wanted to buy them from you for one or two immortal silver each, but then I thought you should be more in need of armor. As you can see, I am now developing well in Qingming.
, when your Zhenshan realm also develops, we can help each other."
Seeing that Wei Yuan was sincere, Li Zhi stopped refusing and said, "Then I'll accept it!"
Wei Yuan ordered people to move out boxes of armor pieces. Naturally, the small accessories needed to be made by Li Zhi's craftsmen.
After sending Li Zhi away, Wei Yuan ordered people to put all kinds of baggage that had been copied back into the warehouse. It was just that the pieces of meat transformed by the blood of Prisoner Niu Zhenjun were a bit difficult to handle. Each of these pieces of meat weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. Finally, the old hoeer called in
It took the help of a naturally powerful snake to move all the pieces of meat to the bottom of the peak.
These meats contain the essence of heaven and earth. Wei Yuan still has to discuss them carefully with everyone on how to use them.
The only regret is that I heard that the Xu family had prepared two million stones of military rations, but most of them were surrounded in the border military counties and cities. Wei Yuan had to give the King of Jin some face, and he still had to show off his skills, and he could not openly attack the county.
city.
Otherwise, with the 18,000-line troops in the city and a civilian Dharma minister, Wei Yuan and a cat could defeat them.
At this time, the water in the pool in Yushan was surging, but in the end no third dharma image appeared. After brewing for a long time, no other souls were reincarnated, so more than a hundred Taoist warriors walked out of the pool. In the Privy Council of Qianqiu City, Xu Zhongxing knelt in the middle of the hall,
Dozens of people were sitting on high chairs around them, all looking down at Xu Zhongxing below.
The man sitting high in the middle said slowly: "Three hundred thousand people, the whole army was wiped out, and there was no victory at all. Xu Zhongxing, is this how you lead the army?"
Xu Zhongxing raised his head, met the eyes of the man above him without fear, and said solemnly: "The soldiers have the intention to die effectively, but the soldiers in the upper position have no desire to fight for their lives!" "How can you say this?"
Xu Zhongxing said: "I know I shouldn't say this, but if I don't say it, I'll be sorry for the injured prisoner Niu Zhenjun, and I'll be sorry for the tens of thousands of brothers who fought to death! Several elders who went out with me this time include
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, one person fled without fighting and never came back. In addition, there were two others who only knew how to protect themselves and could not fight for a long time in the face of a weak enemy. The war situation collapsed, and these three people should be the first to blame!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked. Some people immediately started to curse, and some people started to make an issue about Xu Zhongxing's identity and bloodline.
There were a total of four elders who went to battle with Xu Zhongxing this time. One of them died in the battle, and the other three were scolded by Xu Zhongxing. Most of the people here were elders, with the same status as those three, and everyone had the same promotion level.
Therefore, he participated in the war as a supervisor of the army and gained military honors.
These elders were all of noble birth, and their bloodline was very close to that of the Immortal Ancestors. However, people like Xu Zhongxing who were not very good at birth had to work hard in the frontline army, accumulating merit along the way and slowly rising up the ranks.
Everyday when a general sees a supervisor, he or she is like a mouse seeing a cat. He doesn't dare to breathe. How many times has someone openly accused the elders of the supervisor of being afraid of death in the Privy Council Hall?
The person at the head was silent for a moment and then said: "What is the specific situation? I will discuss it after asking the Prisoner Niu Zhenjun. In the meantime, Xu Zhongxing will be sent to the Xuanbing Jue Prison first, and he will wait for his release."
Xu Zhongxing raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with anger, but he finally calmed down and allowed the person to take him down.
Deep underground in Xuanbing Prison, it is one of the three prisons where the Xu family holds serious criminals. Being imprisoned here often means that death is not far away. Several guards escorted Xu Zhongxing all the way down, and walked several times in one breath.
Baizhang, then pushed him into a cell made of black ice.
At this time, the chief jailer suddenly handed Xu Zhongxing a medicine bottle and said, "This is the Xuanhuang Fortune Pill given to you by Your Excellency. Your Excellency said that this place is extremely dark and cold, which is suitable for suppressing karma. After you take this pill, you can meditate for a month."
A small amount of karma can be eliminated, and then the karma can be temporarily blocked and will not explode immediately. But it will be difficult to eradicate it."
Xu Zhongxing was surprised and grateful at the same time. He took the elixir and said, "Thank you sir for me!" "My lord also said that your killing sword has been unsealed, so you should use it less in the future."
Ganzhou, the county seat of Tianyin County.
In the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, a man was standing by the pond feeding the fish. The Sheriff was standing next to him respectfully. This was the Sheriff's home, and he was standing like a servant. At this time, the Sheriff quickly moved the young man
He recounted the story of the Battle of the Underworld, and then said: "This is how it happened."
The man took some fish food and scattered it in the pond. Suddenly, a piece of fish floated up and they were constantly fighting for it. The fish were gray, black and blue. They were all ordinary fish, and none of them were colorful. The man looked at the fish in the pond and said
: "Only these ordinary-looking fish have a tough life. They can survive no matter what kind of environment. Our ancestors just like them." The man put the fish food aside, looked at the sky, and said, "Now the Xu family
The messenger should have arrived outside the city."
