across mountains and seas

The fine snow fell one after another, covering the entire Donglin City.

Uncle Jing Jiu obeyed Jing Lan's order and left some soldiers to guard Donglin.After nightfall, Uncle Jing Jiu held a torch and led people to patrol the city. The wind and snow became stronger, and the torch in his hand was almost extinguished.

After walking more than a hundred steps on the city wall, everyone's helmets were covered in white snow, and even their eyebrows were stained with a little snow.

Uncle Jing Jiu looked at the east and west suburbs from time to time. It had been a day and a night. With such a heavy snowstorm, it was the first time the young master and the third son led troops to fight.

Although Jing Lan is becoming more and more responsible as the head of the family, she is still a child under the age of 17, and it is a lie to say that she is not worried.

"Uncle Nine! There is a group of troops coming from the East City!" Suddenly, a guard from Haicheng came rushing up behind him, and he said anxiously, "Go and have a look!"

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, pressed his sword and led the people to the east gate of the east city.

When he arrived at the east city gate, he rode a fast horse to the bottom of the city. She was wrapped in snow fur and covered half of her body in the wind and snow. She raised her face and said loudly to Uncle Jing Jiu on the top of the city: "Uncle Jiu, the first batch of food, grass and military equipment has arrived, open the door quickly!"

Eyebrows rustled, Liu Xi's cheeks were reddened by the wind and snow, and under the firelight at this time, she added a more glamorous color.

When Uncle Jing Jiu saw that it was Liu Xi who came, he was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly said, "It's the young lady! Open the door quickly!" After speaking, he looked into the distance, where more than a dozen carriages were slowly pulling grain, grass and military equipment. coming.

The young lady is here, she is really like a tiger with wings!

There was a sound of horseshoes behind Liu Xi, and Jing Tan rode his horse to chase after him, and smiled at Uncle Jing Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, I'm here to help Xiao Wu too!"

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded in relief. Now that the brothers are united, are you still worried that Donglin City will not be able to defend?

The city gate slowly opened——

Jing Tan was about to ride his horse into the city, but realized that Liu Xi had no intention of entering the city, "Sister-in-law?"

Uncle Jing Jiu came down from the city to greet him. Now that the food, grass and military equipment have arrived, the words the young master promised before leaving are not empty words. He will transport the food, grass and military equipment into the treasury with great fanfare. The more reassuring it is to see.

Liu Xi hurriedly glanced at the number of defenders in the city. During this journey, he didn't see any traces of camping in the eastern suburbs. Liu Xi couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

With so few defenders, did they escape?

"Uncle Jiu, where is Ah Lan?" Liu Xi asked anxiously.

Uncle Jing Jiu frowned, and said seriously: "The young master and the third son led the army to meet the enemy last night, and they haven't come back yet."

"How many people did she bring?" Liu Xi asked again.

Uncle Jing Jiu replied truthfully: "The young master has brought [-]% of the soldiers and horses, and the rest will be handed over to me to guard Donglin."

"Seventy percent of all the troops?" Liu Xi asked again.

Suddenly, Uncle Jing Jiu knew what Liu Xi was worried about, and he comforted him in a gentle voice: "The young master said, if you want to leave, let me take out the old grain in the treasury and distribute it. Hundreds of them still left, but everyone Part of it stayed."

"Huh?" Liu Xi was very surprised by this result.

Uncle Jing Jiu smiled, "The young master has grown up."

Liu Xi smiled knowingly, "I think so too." She didn't ask further, seeing that there was no mutiny in Donglin City, it showed that this girl used her brain to handle things.

"One day and one night..." Liu Xi lowered his head to ponder the possible form of the current battle situation, then suddenly raised his head, and said to Uncle Jing Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, I need a hundred light cavalry, but can the cavalry in the city send out a hundred? "

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "Yes!"

"Trouble Uncle Jiu." Liu Xi nodded gratefully.

Jing Tan guessed what Liu Xi wanted to do, "Sister-in-law, you have driven the mountain road for a day... why don't I go..."

"Alan and Third Uncle have been fighting for a day and a night." Liu Xi blocked his words instantly, "If Second Uncle is willing to accompany me to help the front line, he can come with me." After finishing speaking, Liu Xi turned over He dismounted and handed the reins to Uncle Jing Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, I want to change my horse."

Jing Tan also got off his horse and handed the reins to Uncle Jing Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, I'll change horses too!"

Liu Xi glanced at him coldly, and untied a sword and a knife from the saddle. The sword was a gift from Jing Lan, and the knife was an ordinary lancet.She simply put the sword behind her back, raised the knife, turned her head, and shouted at the approaching convoy, "Sister!"

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli poked his head out of one of the carriages.

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Stay in the city and prepare a large amount of wound medicine with the military doctor."

"Let's order!" Shen Jiangli answered crisply.

Soon, Uncle Jing Jiu led two horses again, and mobilized a hundred light cavalry, waiting for Liuxi to deploy.

The baggage carriage slowly drove into Donglin City, and Liu Xi took a box of firearms.

A hundred light cavalry watched as Liu Xi opened the firearms box, which was filled with a box full of fist-sized thunderballs, each with a letter attached to it.

Liu Xi picked up a Thunderbolt, and said to the hundred light cavalry, "Each person is equipped with two Thunderballs, and after a while, follow me to approach the enemy, pull off the fire letter, and throw it towards the densely packed enemy army!" Then, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two disdainful cavalrymen in front, and asked coldly, "Do you remember?"

"Remember..." The two cavalrymen at the front answered slowly. They have never been ordered by a woman at such a big age, so they can just answer a few words casually.

"What do you two mean?" Jing Tan was about to step forward to grab them down.

"Listen to my order, and wronged the two masters?" Liu Xi put down the thunderball, raised her knife and approached the two cavalrymen, a murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

The two cavalrymen laughed and said, "I won't bother you about fighting..."

"bass!"

Liu Xi's knife came out of its sheath suddenly, and the blade coolly cut through the breastplate of the cavalryman in front, leaving a bloodstain coolly on his chest.

The blade didn't go deep into the flesh, but it was surprisingly painful.

He clutched his chest and fell off the horse, crying out in pain.

The person next to him was silent, how could he dare to say another word?

"This is a military order!" Liu Xi stepped on the man's blood-stained chest, "Who is not convinced? Come on, see if your armor is hard or my knife is sharp!" Let out a miserable cry.

Bully the soft and fear the hard.

Humanity is like that.

Only by being more ruthless than those people and being more unprovoked can one get the respect he deserves.

"I... I know I was wrong..." The person under his feet was in extreme pain, and couldn't help begging for mercy loudly.

Liu Xi gave him a cold look, finally let go of her feet, and asked harshly: "Have you remembered the military order?!"

"No..." Her voice was sparse as she answered.

"Uncle Nine, bring another hundred Qingqi, these soldiers..." Liu Xi clenched his lancet tightly with a strong murderous look, and said in a cold voice, "It's worse than women."

"No!" A loud voice suddenly sounded from among the light cavalry.

Liu Xi looked sideways, and saw the young man sitting on the horseback with a firm expression.

"From today onwards, you will be the centurion of the light cavalry!" Liu Xi said loudly, "I will give you a reward when Ah Lan returns from a great victory." As she spoke, her cold eyes swept across the others, "You guys Look down on women, if you have the guts, use your blood to defend your home and country! Why, you can bully me because I am a woman?" Suddenly, his voice trembled, "If you don't accept it, just come to fight, I will never kill you Show mercy."

The cavalry was silent.

"Let me ask one last time, have you remembered the military order?"

"promise!"

This time, they finally shouted in unison.

Jing Tan's Adam's apple twitched slightly, he had seen Liu Xi's ruthlessness before, but now seeing her slapping again with his own eyes, Jing Tan felt his heart tremble for no reason.

Such a girl, as beautiful as her, as heroic as her, like a rose with thorns, scratched his heart lightly, itching and hurting.

After distributing the Thunderballs, Liu Xi got on his horse, held up his lancet, and pointed in the direction of the western suburbs, "Let's go!"

Hundreds of horses rushed together, but were soon blurred by the heavy snow.

A city guard quietly tugged at the corner of Jing's guard's coat, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this woman...?"

"Our young lady." Jing's guard replied proudly.

"It's the one who..."

"Huh?" Hearing the whispers next to him, Uncle Jing glared displeasedly.

The two quickly lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

at the same time--

The battle at the mouth of the Shixia Gorge is in full swing.

Ye's army thought that there would be an ambush, but they didn't expect that the so-called ambush would blow up their retreat and cut off their food supply.They dug in the middle of the night, and the soldiers and horses of Daliang came to kill them, as if they were catching a turtle in the urn.

The morale of the army was shaken, Ye's army rushed to the battle, and was severely beaten by the soldiers of the Great Liang.But the Ye family and the foreign race are soldiers and horses who have been trained hard in the desert outside the pass. After fighting in adversity for a long time, they become more and more courageous as they fight, and they look like trapped beasts who will not die.

Therefore, the initial advantage of Daliang's soldiers and horses did not last for too long. The longer the fight, the stronger the enemy's killing intent. How can we exert the greatest combat power?

Jing Lan and Jing Yuan were fighting in the center of the vortex of the melee, with mud and snow mixed with blood under their feet, not a single inch of their silver armor and white clothes was clean.

Jing Lan's hand holding the sword was trembling. After fighting for a day and a night, she was hungry and thirsty at this moment. If she hadn't relied on the abundant internal energy in "Fish and Dragon Dance", she might have lost strength and fell to the ground. Hold the sword and continue fighting?

Jing Yuan has no internal strength, he is now on the verge of loss of strength, panting heavily, and the blood-stained long sword he swings is no longer as powerful as it was at the beginning.

Jing Lan hurriedly glanced at the enemy general who was a hundred paces away. He was a burly man with a full face and a tiger engraved on his heavy armor.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Jing Lan could have tried desperately, but she didn't dare to leave third brother half a step away.

She clearly knew that as long as she took half a step away, the third brother would definitely not be able to save her life.

In her previous life, she failed to protect her brothers well, and in this life, no matter what, she would never let her brother die miserably.

"Third Brother, let's kill them." Jing Lan put his vest on Jing Yuan's and looked at the enemy general.

Jing Yuan nodded, tore off a piece of clothes and wrapped the long sword in his palm tightly with his hands, "Third brother will accompany you, kill!"

"Boom!"

A spear suddenly swept over, Jing Lan leaned back to avoid it, the spear picked up the tangled helmet fringe, and slammed it, knocking Jing Lan's helmet to the ground.

Jing Yuan blurted out: "Xiao Wu!"

Jing Lan grabbed the spear with her left hand, and her inner strength shook violently.

The little soldier holding the spear felt numb, how could he hold the spear?

Jing Lan took out the spear and twirled it in her hand. The horizontal spear swept away the other enemy soldiers who were killed by her side. The long sword in her right hand pierced the throat of the soldier in front of her, and kicked him over with a flying kick. .

"I'm fine!" Jing Lan's face was splashed with scarlet, she faced Jing Yuan's vest again, roughly estimated the distance between her and the enemy general, and continued to kill while approaching the enemy chieftain.

The enemy general seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. He picked up the double hammers and twisted his neck, as if preparing to fight.

A slightly thin lieutenant approached to his side, pressed his shoulder, and whispered something to him.

The enemy general suddenly grinned, and aggressively charged towards Jing Lan with a pair of hammers.

"boom!"

The fire suddenly exploded at the most densely populated place of the enemy army, and immediately after that, more thunderball bombs exploded one after another.

The enemy army was in chaos, and the situation was obviously improving, why did reinforcements suddenly come from Daliang? !

It was not only the enemy soldiers who were shocked, but also Jing Lan and Jing Yuan who were fighting.

There were so many firearms coming out suddenly, she clearly remembered that there were no firearms available in Donglin City.

Suddenly, the qi pill in the dantian rotated violently.

Jing Lan frowned, and couldn't help cursing: "Don't take good care of it! You're messing around again!"

Jing Yuan was shocked, "Who?"

"Alan, catch it!" A fast horse came galloping out of the flames of battle, and immediately the Xueqiu woman threw the silver sheathed sword on her back at Jing Lan, quickly got off the horse, and did not hesitate to hold the lancet in her hand Half a minute later, an arc of light struck out, forcing back the enemy troops who had killed from the left and right.

"Sister-in-law!" Jing Yuan was both surprised and delighted.

Jing Lan caught the silver-sheathed long sword, and thrust the blood-stained long sword towards his feet with his right hand. The silver-sheathed long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and there was a loud sword whistle, which shook the eardrums of people within three steps.

At this moment, the enemy general jumped up, swung his hammers and slashed at Jing Lan.

Jing Lan was startled when she swung her sword back to the hammers, and the bright sword edge sank into the hammers like cutting melons, cutting the hammers in two in an instant.

The enemy general couldn't believe what he saw, and Jing Lan and Jing Yuan even couldn't believe what happened before them.

"Forgot what I taught you again?" Liu Xi glared at Jing Lan displeasedly, and the lancet swiftly slashed at the head of the enemy general.

The enemy general hastily responded, holding two broken hammers to meet Liu Xi's blade.

"Keng!" A sound of gold and stone sounded.

Liu Xi, who was like an ape, dodged behind the enemy general, held the lancet behind his back and quickly slashed across the back of the enemy general's neck.

Blood splattered.

The enemy general clutched the back of his bleeding neck in pain, and wailed like a wild boar.

Liu Xi didn't give him more chances to struggle, she kicked the enemy general down, put the tip of the knife on the back of his head, and shouted loudly: "Your general is dead—"

"bass!"

"Be careful behind you!" Jing Lan suddenly dodged behind Liu Xi, parried the thin lieutenant who was attacking Liu Xi with a sword, and swept forward, the sword edge caught off guard and pierced the thin lieutenant's shoulder.

"Ah!" The thin lieutenant yelled miserably, it was a girl!

"Perhaps she is the real enemy chieftain."

Liu Xi's eyes darkened, and the moment the girl broke free from the blade, she kicked her in the crook of the leg, forcing her to kneel on the ground.

"Young master!" Someone in the enemy army exclaimed.

Liu Xi's blade touched her throat, and asked in a cold voice: "Young master? Is it from the Ye family or from a foreign race?"

The woman turned her face away, "If you are brave enough, kill me!"

Liu Xi didn't pay attention to the woman's words, but raised her voice and continued to ask: "Are you still not surrendering?"

The enemy army looked at the woman hesitantly, and gradually stopped fighting, dropped their weapons one after another, and knelt down on the ground with their heads in their arms.

Liu Xi touched the girl's numbness point, and helped her to Jing Yuan, "Third Uncle, take her back to Donglin."

Jing Yuan took another look at the surrendered enemy troops, "What about them?"

"They behaved well, so naturally their young master will be safe too." Liu Xi said this lightly, and had no intention of escorting these prisoners of war back to Donglin City together.

"Bring a word to your alien king." Liu Xi smiled suddenly, "If you want to try our Dongjing clan's firearms, you can continue to attack, and we will accompany you to the end. But, don't forget your West Shenzhou Who is on the other side, beware of someone taking advantage of the fisherman and turning Xishen Prefecture into the Wei family's world."

Jing Yuan suddenly realized, he nodded with relaxed eyebrows, and pushed the woman down.

After not hearing Jing Lan's words for a while, Liu Xi turned to look at her, "Huh?"

Jing Lan asked solemnly, "Is your foot okay?"

"It's all right." Liu Xi walked a few steps towards Jing Lan, "Not limping at all."

"You just like to show off!" Jing Lan's nose moved slightly, clearly smelling the smell of medicine on her body.

"I came to save you, but you still..."

Jing Lan suddenly took her hand and pulled her to the side of the horse, "Get on the horse!"

Liu Xi always felt that Jing Lan, who hadn't seen her for a few days, was a bit different.

"Alan?"

"Get on the horse, okay?"

Jing Lan's voice softened a little.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, and simply got on the horse.

Jing Lan took the reins and ordered: "The whole army obeys my orders, and the whole army returns to the city!" After speaking, she also got on the horse and sat behind Liu Xi.

Jing Tan, who was chasing after him with his horse, stared in shock, and reminded in a deep voice, "Where's your horse, Xiaowu?"

Jing Lan replied seriously: "Sister-in-law's foot injury has worsened, and she is not stable on horseback. I will take sister-in-law back to the city to treat the injury first. Second brother, I will leave this place to you."

"Little five..."

"drive!"

Jing Lan didn't wait for Jing Tan to finish speaking, put her legs on the horse's belly, and took Liuxi to gallop towards the east of the city.

The author has something to say: Sister-in-law is as sassy as ever.

Xiao Wu started to take the little wolf dog route =. = Aww~
