Chapter 94 Loyal General
After tidying up, Qin Yuan led a battalion of [-] cavalry and Jiang Shengbing soldiers towards Youjiang City.

Jiang Shengbing himself followed Qin Yuan, describing the situation in Yiyou County.

Jiang Shengbing's boss is the prefect of Linghai County, named Wu Yuanzai, who comes from a family of martial arts.

This time he led an army of [-] to Yidu County, and Jiang Shengbing was one of the battalions, one of Wu Wuzai's confidantes.

The Yiyou battlefield is the main battlefield, and the army is based on ten thousand people as the basic unit, and they are all elite troops and special arms.

And the rest of the battlefield, relatively speaking, is like a small fight, and the war is not so fierce, and the number of people is generally less than [-].

"When you arrive in Youjiang City, it's your first time, my lord, so you have to report to the barracks. The officials under King Nanjing will arrange your residence. My lord will definitely come to visit me at that time to express my gratitude."

Jiang Shengbing said respectfully.

Qin Yuan is the prefect of Wuwei, and his family's lord is the prefect of Linghai, so their official positions are equal.

However, the strength of the [-] soldiers under Qin Yuan and the [-] soldiers led by Prefect Ling Hai was vastly different.

Moreover, it is still an all-in-one cavalry team. Not only are the soldiers fully equipped, but even the horses are wearing dark armor, just like heavy cavalry. However, judging by the speed of the horses, they are extremely fast, and they seem to be completely unaffected by the armor on them. freely.

In the entire Youjiang City, including King Nanjing's army, there are more than [-] cavalry troops, no more than five fingers.

With such a strong sheriff, his master will definitely make friends with him, even if he doesn't have a deep friendship, it is not easy to offend.

After all, Qin Yuan helped to destroy the [-] Heavenly Dao Army, so he saved Jiang Shengbing and a battalion of soldiers.

"That's natural."

Qin Yuan nodded lightly. "Besides your lord, who are the other big figures in the city?"

"Nowadays in Youjiang City, besides King Nanjing, the most famous person is the one who killed Zhenbei General Gongsun Chi. This time he led [-] elite cavalry, killing no less than [-] enemies in the past few days."

Jiang Shengbing said with emotion, "There is also Yuan Zi and Yuanzhou Mu, who was born in the Yuan Dynasty. The army of guarding Ye was invincible. He once wiped out a ten-thousand-man spiritual guard of the Heavenly Dao Army, and his reputation was completely established. For this reason, the King of Nanjing even personally hosted a banquet for Yuan Zhoumu. It is called No.1 of the contemporary aristocrats."

No. 1 contemporary clan, is this a compliment or a flattery?

Qin Yuan sighed secretly and asked. "Human Lingwei?"

"The Heavenly Dao Army has three extremely powerful elite legions, namely the Human Spirit Guards, the Zhendi Guards and the Heavenly Guards. It is said that they are all composed of warriors and soldiers. They can also use the secret methods of the Heavenly Dao Sect. They are extremely powerful and terrifying. With the existence of these three elites, the King of Southern Jing was unable to capture Yidu City for a long time."

Jiang Shengbing's eyes were full of envy, hatred, and fear. Warriors were rare among ordinary troops, but the three elites of the Heavenly Dao Army were all composed of warriors, which showed how big their hand was and how powerful they were.

"However, it may not be comparable to your iron cavalry." Jiang Shengbing paused for a moment, and said with a smile.

Although Jiang Shengbing saw the strength of Qin Yuan's army, he didn't think about warriors and soldiers. After all, Qin Yuan was just a prefect, just like his master.

It's just that cavalry is stronger than ordinary infantry, and in his cognition, he can't see how big the gap is.

It is not surprising that Qin Yuan has cavalry. After all, Qin Yuan is from Xiyong Liangzhou, and the difficulty of obtaining war horses there is much easier than that in the southeast region.

Qin Yuan smiled and didn't say much. It's not uncommon for Tiandaozong, who disturbed the entire Liehan Dynasty, to have several elite legions under his command.

"There is also a grassroots Li Deyi, who has gathered many people from the rivers and lakes and the militiamen to form a volunteer army of 6 people. A few days ago, on the battlefield in Yidu, an elite group of [-] people was wiped out. His reputation has spread far and wide, and he has become the guest of honor of the shepherds of various states."

"There is also Yang Taishou of Yanxuan County"

After Jiang Sheng tirelessly introduced the famous princes and forces in Yicheng, Qin Yuan had a preliminary understanding of these characters.

Gongsun Chi fought all the way from an ordinary soldier, made many military exploits, and conquered foreign enemies before he got to his current position.

Yuan Zi relied on the advantage of being a wealthy family, coupled with the fact that there were people in the court, and his own ability was outstanding, so he became the governor of Jizhou.

As for Li Deyi, whose identity is unknown, the only thing he knows is that he is a hero in the world. His status and reputation in the arena are not low, so he formed a powerful army, and he has the potential to be a hero
Suddenly, the team stopped. Qin Yuan looked into the distance and heard a faint noise in his ears.

"Is this the Yiyou battlefield?"

Bai Qi's voice was filled with anticipation and excitement.

In front of the eye, there is a scene full of gunpowder smoke and blood flowing like a river.

"Yes, this is the Yiyou battlefield, shall we take a detour?" Jiang Shengbing swallowed, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

"How far is Youjiang City from here?" Qin Yuan asked casually.

"In less than ten miles, continue to the south, go straight along the official road, pass Langfeng Mountain, and you will see Youjiang City."

Jiang Shengbing explained the route in detail, and also gave a warning. "Army entering Youjiang City for the first time must first register with the court at the barracks at the city gate, and then obtain a pass to enter and exit freely."

"Thank you, if you have something to do, you can leave first."

Qin Yuan said.

"Thank you, my lord. Farewell." Jiang Shengbing was not polite, and hurried away with thousands of soldiers.

They are just ordinary soldiers. If they get involved in the Yiyou battlefield, they will just lose their lives.

Qin Yuan waved his hand, signaling the army to be vigilant around and enter a state of combat readiness.

On the Yiyou battlefield, blood spattered for three thousand miles, and millions of corpses lay buried. There were ruins everywhere, and the shadows of small towns and villages could be faintly seen. Wherever the army went, rivers of blood flowed and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Even Qin Yuan, who had experienced many big scenes, couldn't help but gasped when he saw the scene of corpses strewn across the field. How many people died here to dye the land red with blood.

Moreover, these are not ordinary soldiers, but elites under the command of various forces, which makes people even more frightened. No wonder Jiang Shengbing is so afraid of the Yiyou battlefield.

"Come on, let's go and see."

It was indeed the frightening Yiyou battlefield. Qin Yuan climbed over the hill and saw several battlefields where the fighting was in full swing and extremely brutal.

Whether it is the Tiandao camp or the court camp, both sides are fighting to the death and will fight to the death.

Not far from them, near a ruined town, two armies were fighting fiercely.

On one side, there are a large number of people, 3 to [-] people, but a group of scattered soldiers scattered in small groups of a dozen or dozens of people, surrounded the formed army, and continued to attack.

On the other hand, the besieged side maintained a neat and orderly defensive posture, and launched counterattacks from time to time, killing many people.

In this army, the swaying military flag faintly reveals the words "human" and "heaven", and the soldiers are dressed in dark red armor and armed with standard weapons. The number is less than 8000.

"Both sides are warriors. The warriors besieging one side seem to be scattered, but their individual strength is strong enough, with various weapons and methods."

Qin Yuan analyzed, "The ones who were besieged should be the human spirit guards of the Heavenly Dao Army. They are basically warriors with the first and second ranks of strength, and the average strength is a little lower. I won’t be able to take it off for a while.”

"Indeed, the strength of the Human Lingwei is not weak, and there are only a few forces that can gnaw at this tough bone."

Zhuge Mo agreed with Qin Yuan's statement, and rolled his eyes, "If you guessed correctly, this is Li Deyi's volunteer army."

The main reason is that the besieging army does not look like soldiers at all. It has a strong atmosphere of the quack, with all kinds of clothes, different weapons, and all kinds of methods used.

"Someone is here!"

Bai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking into the distance.

After a while, a team of hundreds of people arrived in front of Qin Yuan's army, with a distance of [-] meters between the two.

"Everyone, I am Li Deyi, the fifth-rank loyal general under the command of the King of Southern Jing, and I am ordered by the court to fight against the rebels."

Leading the middle-aged man dressed in a general's armor, the whole person is full of majesty, showing a faint smile, and a pair of dark bottomless eyes, which make people unable to see through.

However, when he looked at the cavalry behind Qin Yuan, there was a trace of fear and doubt in his eyes.

"It turned out to be General Loyalty and I have admired his name for a long time. I am General Qin Yuan who conquered the North."

Qin Yuan smiled back, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Li Deyi, but was blocked by a dense layer of purple air.

Can't see through the strength. At the same time, it was also the first person Qin Yuan met who was possessed of emperor's purple qi.

And the few people around him stared at Qin Yuan and his group with unkind eyes. They were not low-level, and they all had the strength of the acquired level. around.

Qin Yuan sighed, he was also Qianlong, why didn't he have anyone to take refuge in.

Ma Feiteng didn't count, in Qin Yuan's heart, Ma Feiteng was beaten into surrender by himself.

Li Deyi's eyes also fell on Qin Yuan, and his young face was surprising.

I think about how when I was that old, I was still fighting with others in the village.

At the same time, Li Deyi felt a sense of familiarity and disgust in Qin Yuan. This person seemed to threaten his life and status.

Especially the tens of thousands of well-equipped cavalry behind Qin Yuan made him feel the crisis thoroughly.

"Hehe, I have long heard that General Zhengbei is a young hero. When I saw him today, he really deserves his reputation."

The corner of Li Deyi's mouth twitched, General Zhengbei is a third rank, and only when the imperial decree comes down can he be officially canonized.

As for his loyal general, although he is of the fifth rank, he was canonized by King Nanjing through merit exchange, and the appointment letter from the imperial court has not yet been issued.

Therefore, in the brief confrontation just now, Li Deyi was considered to be at a disadvantage.

However, he was not discouraged. He had countless heroes under his command, and it took only half a month from a grassroots to a fifth-rank loyal general.

When this battle is won and this group of human spirit guards is wiped out, it will be more than enough to exchange for a fourth-rank general position. After accumulating some meritorious service, they will be initially qualified to step into the ranks of high-level officials.

At the same time, the number Qin Yuan was recalled in his mind, but there was no information.

There is no way, the territory of the Liehan Dynasty is vast, with eighteen states under its jurisdiction. There are states in the states, and there are countless counties and counties. There are countless talents, and there are countless princes. heard about it.
