As the situation became severe, the people in the city seemed to be aware of the unusual atmosphere, and the streets became empty, with only a few pedestrians passing by occasionally, but their footsteps were also in a hurry.
When Ruan Qing came to the west of the city, long horse-repelling posts had already been erected on the street to keep out the idlers.
After seeing clearly that it was the county magistrate leading the way, the guards moved away and let them pass.
There are a lot of weapons, wood and other equipment scattered along the way.We can vaguely see the turmoil during the war.
Going up the city wall, there are quite a few people lying on the wall, and it will take a lot of effort to pass.
Now that the enemy army has temporarily retreated, the sergeants who have been fighting for days have long been exhausted, leaning against the corner of the wall, and dozing on the corpses that were too late to deal with.
The wounded had already fallen asleep before bandaging.The city was extremely quiet at this moment, only the whistling of the wind could be heard.Blood stained the weathered wall stones, and fresh blood covered the dryness again, reflecting the vast blue sky above.
Leaning against the wall and looking, Ruan Qing saw that a long ladder had been built under the outer wall of the city, and there were many dead bodies lying on the ground, silently nourishing the vegetation.A camp was built on the open ground in front of the city, and there were many people in it, which were out of range.
"That's Song Jian's army," said the county magistrate.
"En." Ruan Qing responded in a low voice.A muffled sucking sound reached his ears.
Turning his face, he saw a small soldier leaning against the wall bandaging his arm with one hand.
Walking over and squatting down, he stretched out his hand to help the man fasten the bandage, saying, "If you don't stop bleeding, the bandage is useless."
"It's you?" Xiaojun said in surprise.
Ruan Qing looked up at Xiaojun's face, but didn't remember knowing him, "You..."
Seeing that his acquaintance Xiaojun was very excited, he said to Ruan Qing, "I was in prison two days ago, old man."
A flash of light flashed through Ruan Qing's mind, "It's you!"
"It's Lao Tzu." Huang Xulang cracked his lips into a smile, and a bright red wound appeared on his chapped lips.He was dirty, covered in dust, and even the original color of his hair and beard was covered up, so Ruan Qing didn't recognize him.
"Aren't you out of town?"
"It's a long story." Huang Xulang moved his bandaged arm and said, "I just wanted to go out at dawn, but who knew that the bandits came and sealed the city. Another day will go from house to house to arrest strong men. There is no money to stay in the store. Walking on the street, I was caught here."
Ruan Qing sighed after hearing this.
Huang Xulang asked, "What's the matter with you? Why did you come here? Are you still dressed up?"
"It's a long story. You get up first." Ruan Qing stretched out her hands to help him up.
"I'll do it." Huang Xulang gently pushed Ruan Qing's hand away, and stood up quickly, with a high level of energy, completely different from those soldiers who were tired and sleeping after two or three days of fighting.
"Let's go." Ruan Qing said.
The county magistrate hurriedly asked, "Can you think of a plan, sir?"
"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "Go back first."
After returning to the official residence, Ruan Qing asked Huang Xulang to take him down to wash up, while he was taken to the front hall and asked what plan he had.
"I just looked at the map and found that Qi County is a treasure land with mountains and rivers."
"Naturally." The county magistrate couldn't help but be proud when he heard this, "It was built on the basis of water, relying on mountains to eat mountains. Although our Qi County is a bit remote, it is fortunate that we are not plagued by drought and floods, and we can't eat enough."
"I heard from Master Yang that there is a valley in the mountains..."
The county magistrate has gone out and ordered the soldiers to prepare.Ruan Qing looked at the map on the case and silently memorized the cities on it.
Huang Xulang, who was full of food and drink and cleaned up, entered the door and sat cross-legged next to Ruan Qing, "What are you looking at?"
Ruan Qing lowered her mouth and did not answer.
"Map." Huang Xulang looked at Ruan Qing, "Are you really doing something for the government?"
"Otherwise, if I watch the city break down, then I myself will suffer too?" Ruan Qing lifted her eyelids and glanced lightly.
Huang Xulang was overjoyed, "Things are really impermanent. We were still in prison two days ago and were about to die. Who would think that we are serving the government now."
Seeing that Ruan Qing didn't answer, Huang Xulang stroked the stubble on his chin and said, "Hey, you said that we are so destined, knowing a name is not too much."
"Cao Qing, styled Sijiu."
In the past, Ruan Qing couldn't remember the names when she studied foreign history.Only Montesquieu remembered it very clearly.Without him, Meng De's light was lost.
Generally speaking, there is a connection between the characters and names of the ancients.Hearing Ruan Qing's words, Huang Xulang frowned, suspecting that the other party was teasing him, it can be seen that Ruan Qing was serious and didn't look like he was lying.Could it be that he is ignorant?
"Cao Wen, styled Zizhang."
Ruan Qing couldn't help laughing.
"I know what you're laughing at." Cao Wen said, "I don't look like a scholar when I'm laughing. Why did you call me this name?"
"The name is given by the elders." Ruan Qing put one arm across his chest, the other elbow rested on his chin, and his knuckles supported his chin. He tilted his head and said teasingly, "Brother Cao must have expected Brother Cao to be well-read, both civil and military. Come in."
Cao Wen said helplessly, "You really guessed it right." He added, "You can just say the words directly. You and I look about the same age."
"That's not necessarily the case." Ruan Qing said with a smile, "Brother Yu has already passed and stood."
Cao Wen was stunned for a moment, seeing Ruan Qing smiling, he also sneered, not paying attention, "Mr. Shaohu, you look like this, have you been crowned? If you want to take advantage of me, you have to choose a plausible reason."
Ruan Qing seemed to have expected the other party's attitude, "You don't believe me?"
"How can you believe this?" Suddenly Cao Wen seemed to understand something, took a light breath, and looked at Ruan Qing, "You don't want to be called brother when you report your age like this. Brother Sheng is not too much. Besides, you have thin arms and legs. I am very good at martial arts. In the future, if someone bullies you, I will beat you back."
"You asked me to call you brother, don't regret it in the future." Ruan Qing smiled with a few fine lines in his eyes.
"There's nothing to regret about it." Cao Wen was puzzled, "I'm the weakest champion this year, no matter how you look at it, I'm younger than me."
Ruan Qing raised her eyebrows, breathed a long sigh of relief, stroked the hair on the back of her head that was tied into a ponytail to save trouble, and then called out to Cao Wen, "Brother Zizhang. From now on, Qing can rely on you to protect me."
"Good talk, good talk."
The two were talking and laughing when the county magistrate came from outside the door, "Mr. Cao, everything is ready."
"Yes." Ruan Qing only found the breastplate from the armor on the side and put it on.
"What are you going to do?" Cao Wen asked.
Seeing that Ruan Qing couldn't tie the rope behind him, he helped.
Ruan Qing said, "You are injured, you should recuperate well in the mansion. When the enemy soldiers retreat, you can go out of the city."
Cao Wen frowned, "You want to defend the city yourself, no, they ask you to find a way, you won't do that. You want to go out of the city to fight?"
"It's none of your business."
Cao Wen glanced at the map, "Qi County is surrounded by rivers and mountains, and you want to lure the enemy army over? Just now this person said that they are ready, and you have to go out of the city as bait yourself!"
Ruan Qing curved her thin lips, and a smile flashed in her eyes for a moment, like an elder's relief at seeing a talented young man, "Brother Zizhang, I underestimated you."
"I'll go with you." Cao Wen stood up, frowned again, and said to the county magistrate with a serious expression, "Give me a battle armor, and I will go with him."
"Wars have been ruthless since ancient times, and you still have your parents waiting for you to go back." Ruan Qing also stood up, looked at the other party with a smile, her eyes were calm, "You should stay in the city."
"I'm not a person who is afraid of death. The world is not peaceful now, so I've been afraid of death and stayed at home for a long time." Cao Wen said, "Besides, since you call me brother, I can't just let you go."
"That's all." Ruan Qing sighed softly, and said to the county magistrate, "Find him a pair of armor and a horse." He looked at Cao Wen again, "What weapon are you good at?"
"Lance, halberd, whatever."
These days there are few people using lances, and halberds are rare in the army.
Ruan Qing said again, "Find him another weapon that is convenient for him. Use a gun if you can't find it."
The county magistrate nodded and called people to look for him.As Ruan Qing walked out, she asked, "How's the army gathering?"
The county magistrate said, "Everything has been arranged according to your instructions, and the thousand soldiers you want are also ready to go." After finishing speaking, he paused for two seconds, seeming to hesitate, and said, "There are not many troops in the city. These thousand soldiers, how can you..."
"I know." Ruan Qing stopped at the door and looked at the county magistrate with a half-smile, with piercing coldness in his eyes, "There are enemy troops on one side and mountains on the other. Where can I escape? We are on the same rope. Grasshopper, if the city is broken, no one will survive."
Cao Wenwen was naturally resolute, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and he was dressed in a military uniform, which made him even more heroic, majestic, and majestic without anger.
Ruan Qing sat on the saddle and watched the other party lift the halberd onto the horse very skillfully.The light in the pupil dimmed a little.
Ordinary people can't maintain such aura.Not afraid of war at all.Is this person a newborn calf, or has he been used to it for a long time?
A crack was opened in the heavy city gate, and through the light, the rider took the lead, dragging his gun forward.As the door was slowly opened, the armored soldiers behind him came out one after another.
Song Jian, who was camping outside the city, heard the news and also gathered his troops.
On the vast plain in front of the city, two armies confronted each other.
Ruan Qing tightened the reins, sat down and the steed moved its front hooves a few times uneasily, snorting heavily.
He sat on it, straightened his back, his brows were sharp, and he asked loudly, "Old thief Song Jian, why did you invade my territory?"
The army on the opposite side retreated to the two sides, and a group of people came out on horseback.The boots have narrow sleeves, and they are sent to the left side.
The other party replied in a rough voice, "The territory of the world belongs to the Son of Heaven. What is your territory? Younger Yang Zhao, who violated our territory, came here today to punish the Son of Heaven. Why don't you quickly open the city and surrender."
Ruan Qing didn't know the relationship between Yang Zhao and Song Jian.But as soon as you send troops, you must be famous.He just passed these words off his ears, without taking them to heart at all.
Now he was almost sure of it.Song Jian came here probably to annex the Gu corpse in Yang Zhao's hands.
The two sides can't talk.A big man riding a bay red horse rushed out of Song Jian's army, holding a sharp long ax in his hand.His ax was dark in color and looked heavy and extremely heavy.
The big man yelled in broken Chinese, "Little ants, does anyone dare to fight?"
Qi County's military reserves are not good.Otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten for so many days.
Ruan Qing gripped the barrel of the gun tightly and was about to drive the horse, when Cao Wen Hengji beside him suddenly stopped his horse.
Cao Wen raised one corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "Let's rest, let your elder brother Zizhang meet him."
After all, the legs clamped the horse's belly.It rushed out like an off-string arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Wen raised his long halberd, and with the help of strength, slashed fiercely at the opponent's head.
The big man of the Qiang Army quickly raised his long axe and stood in front of him.
"Dang!" A sharp sound of iron clashing violently spread out and penetrated into the ears of everyone present.
A wave of air quickly spread around the two of them, with the two of them as the center, dust rose up on the ground.
Cao Wen's forearm was bulging with blue veins, his muscles stretched, his narrow eyes widened, and he clenched his hands tightly, exerting constant pressure.
The two crossed weapons trembled slightly.
The big man raised his hand, broke Cao Wen's pressure, raised his big ax and slashed.
Cao Wen raised his halberd to resist.The two of you come and go, and they start their moves.There are fifty or sixty times in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Qing kept her eyes on the battlefield.Seeing that Cao Wen became more and more courageous in the battle and gained the upper hand, he couldn't help feeling anxious, and shouted, "Zi Zhang!"
When Cao Wen heard this, he took two more moves, pretending to be invincible, dragging his halberd into the battle and fleeing in defeat.
Song Jian looked at it and raised his troops to kill him.
Ruan Qing hurriedly ordered the army to return to the city.When I ran to the bottom of the city, I saw the high gate closed tightly.
When the army saw that the gate was not open, they had already moved their hearts. At that time, the enemy army came behind them, and it was a mess.
Ruan Qing gritted her teeth, raised her hands behind her and shouted, "Come with me, get out."
Then he pulled the reins tightly and fled to the east.
Song Jian, who was watching from the army, saw it, and couldn't help laughing, "Ha, they themselves had a quarrel. That man led a lot of troops, presumably most of the troops in the city. If he was disabled, the city would be powerless to defend. Continue to chase. .”
"Your Majesty." Someone on the side persuaded, "I'm afraid there may be fraud."
"If there is any deceit, why not send it two days earlier? Now they are at the end of their strength. Under the catastrophe, the internal chaos is normal." After Song Jian finished speaking, he was about to chase.I was stopped by that person.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate will lead people to chase after him. It is safer for Your Majesty to stay in the camp."
Song Jian nodded in agreement.
There is a mountain on the north side of Qixian County, named Xishan.There is a valley in the mountain, and there is a section of terrain inside, the front and rear intersections are narrow and the middle is wide, and the mountains on both sides are towering and steep, making it difficult to climb.As summer progresses, the trees in the mountains are particularly lush.
The front and rear teams are like a tug of war.
In the front, Ruan Qing led the people to run wildly all the way, while the enemy army in the back was like a hungry wolf preying on food, full of murderous intent.The rushing horseshoes are like the beating of drums, causing the mountains and rivers to vibrate.
There were not many horses in Qi County, and Ruan Qing brought them all out this time.But there were still infantry running behind.
On the other hand, Song Jian sent people to chase after him, all of whom were capable iron cavalry.
Entering the valley, Ruan Qing ran for her life ahead, but heard screams from behind.Looking back, I saw that the enemy army had caught up to the rear, and raised their hands to slash at the soldiers who were running slowly.A stream of blood splashed out, and the soldier died under the knife.
Ruan Qing looked ahead again, gritted her teeth, turned the horse's head, and rushed against the crowd.
He was almost there, and he had to make sure that the other party would not become suspicious, and they all followed up into the hinterland of the valley.
Cao Wenzheng followed Ruan Qing, seeing Ruan Qing suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards the enemy, his pupils constricted violently, and he yelled, "What are you doing!"
Ruan Qing's voice came from afar, "You lead the way, I will be behind."
Open the way, don't you decide the way yourself.
Cao Wen cursed secretly, seeing that everyone was running with the flag, and there was only one road in this valley, so he thought it would be right, so he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.
Like a flash of lightning, Ruan Qing rushed to the end in an instant, raising her spear.
With a sound of "Dang", he blocked the knife that was about to fall on a sergeant, and stabbed the enemy's heart with his backhand.
He rode his horse behind the team, brandished his gun, resisted the enemy's attack, and protected the team to move forward.
The neighing of war horses suddenly sounded in my ears.It turned out that Cao Wen also came.
The two fought and retreated, leading the enemy to the hinterland step by step.
At this time, there was a piercing howl from the enemy army, and then several figures jumped out.Pounce on the two of them.
Ruan Qing yelled inwardly, pulled the reins hard, sat down and the steed neighed long, and turned its hind hooves. At the same time, its front hooves stood up high, almost in a straight line, and the original vertical became horizontal in an instant.
When the horse's body was spinning, a Gu corpse jumped close to the horse's body.
Although the northern Gu corpses are cleaner and tidy than those in the south, and they can barely be fooled, but Ruan Qing recognized what it was at a glance, and with a raised hand, he stabbed through the Gu corpse's skull.
The Gu zombie "Ke Ke" yelled twice, and completely softened.
"What the hell is this!" Cao Wen on the side scolded angrily while resisting.
Ruan Qing waved his weapon, glanced and saw that the crowd had already retreated into the hinterland, so he shouted, "Let's go."
After finishing speaking, he gripped the barrel of the gun tightly, a bright silver light flashed in his pupils, the meridian was filled with aura, and he climbed up the barrel of the gun along his fingertips, and the barrel of the gun immediately seemed to be wrapped with a mysterious pattern with white lines.
With a violent roar, "Back!" The tail of the spear hit the ground, making a deep buzzing like an ancient bell.The ground in the valley suddenly spread out like water waves, creating a circle of ripples.
The few Gu corpses that were entangled with them were immediately blown away and hit the stone walls on both sides.
Chang. The wooden warehouse was inserted into the soil, but he didn't rush to get it. He shouted, "Zizhang, let's go!" As he said, he turned his horse's head and ran in the original direction.
Since Song Jian dared to send Gu Zong to chase them and these people, it must not be the only few.There should be some troops behind, so we have to leave quickly.
Cao Wen didn't have time to marvel, and when he heard Ruan Qing's shout, he quickly clamped his horse's belly and rode wildly with Ruan Qing.
The pursuers behind also continued to chase in an instant.
Seeing that the distance between the front and back is getting tighter and tighter.After passing the narrow crossing in the valley, Cao Wen hung the halberd on the ring, took down the bow and arrow, pinched the arrow feathers, and stretched the bow to string.
While the horse was galloping, he twisted his waist and turned around, squinting slightly, with sharp eyes.Loosen your fingers, and the feathered arrow flies out like a shooting star.A cavalryman fell to the ground behind him.
Cao Wen fired several more arrows.Until it was empty, the distance between the front and the back was also opened.
Ruan Qing glanced back, couldn't help laughing, "Yes."
"Small, I've been practicing this since I was a child." Cao Wen smiled, turned around suddenly, stretched his long arms, and threw out the bowstring in his palm, hitting a cavalryman's chest and falling to the ground.
The front exit is in and.Ruan Qing gradually settled down.
There was a loud rumbling sound behind him, accompanied by people's screams.
It was the sergeant in ambush on the valley, seeing that the enemy had entered the hinterland, he put down huge boulders and trees to block the retreat.Hundreds of rockets were shot down from above in an instant.
Oil has been poured into the valley, and it is full of vegetation. It has been accumulated all year round, and it has already become a thick layer.
The weather has been nice and dry recently.These flaming arrow feathers ignite as soon as they fall, and the sparks of the fire are connected together to start a wildfire.
The valley was shrouded in flames and scorched by high temperatures.If there is a raging sea of flames, a hell that burns and kills the evils of the world.
The enemy army didn't care what they were chasing the enemy, and the back road was blocked, so they could only run forward with all their strength and escape for their lives.
At this moment, a Gu corpse jumped out from the army behind him, threw Ruan Qing down and sat down on the horse.
The horse was already running fast, but Ruan Qing suddenly lost weight, fell to the ground, spun around for a while, rolled several times, and stopped when he hit a boulder.
Ruan Qing whimpered in pain and spat out blood.
He was stunned by the fall at the moment, he didn't react so quickly, and his whole body hurt so badly that he couldn't move at all.
Cao Wen's steed has already run a few steps away.
"Sijiu." He hurriedly stopped his horse, only to see a Gu corpse with its mouth open showing its fangs and pounced on Ruan Qing, as if it was about to bite off the opponent's neck in the next second.
As soon as Cao Wen pinched the horse's belly, the horse ran out immediately in pain, and he raised his hand and threw it with all his strength.The halberd pierced Ruan Qing's head at the moment when the Gu corpse was about to touch Ruan Qing, and continued to fly away with it.
"Catch it!" Cao Wen bent down and shouted.
Ruan Qing endured the pain, supported her upper body with one hand, and stretched out the other.
Cao Wen grabbed his palm and pulled it hard.Ruan Qing flew to sit behind Cao Wen.
He wrapped his arms around Cao Wen's waist, and looked back to see the enemy soldiers covered in fire lying on the ground, crying and wailing, and the burning Gu corpses became even more uncontrollable, jumping up and down.The enemy troops that have not been affected are rushing towards the exit with all their strength.
It was a mess, and the ghosts were howling.
"Quickly shut up." The leader standing above the valley hurriedly urged when he saw that the enemy was about to go out.
"But there are still people who haven't come out." Xiaojun said.
"No, it's too late." The team leader stared at the battlefield, "When they come out, many enemy troops will follow. Seal the valley quickly."
A deeper and more intense rumbling sound came from above the head.
Cao Wen raised his head slightly, and saw rocks and trees rolling down the hillside not far away, as well as a burning train.
"Bastard." He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, frowning, his eyes full of gloom and murderous intent.
"Hold me tight and sit still." He yelled.
Ruan Qing hurriedly tightened her arms.
Cao Wen squeezed the reins tightly, pulled out a very sharp wooden hairpin cut with a wooden stick from the horse's tail, and stabbed it fiercely into the horse's body.
The horse ran wild like crazy.
The boulders and other objects falling from both sides passed behind them, and they were about to form a group to meet Hades a second later.
The narrowest place ahead was blocked, and the burning diesel wagons were dangerously hot.
Cao Wen stared closely, waiting for the right time, he pulled the rein hard and clamped his legs tightly.
The steed jumped up in an instant, and almost jumped to the opposite side next to the Heat.
The four hooves fell to the ground, crushing the fine stones.Keep going.
There is no hindrance and fire ahead.The mountains are full of splendor and the vegetation is flourishing.
When Ruan Qing came to the west of the city, long horse-repelling posts had already been erected on the street to keep out the idlers.
After seeing clearly that it was the county magistrate leading the way, the guards moved away and let them pass.
There are a lot of weapons, wood and other equipment scattered along the way.We can vaguely see the turmoil during the war.
Going up the city wall, there are quite a few people lying on the wall, and it will take a lot of effort to pass.
Now that the enemy army has temporarily retreated, the sergeants who have been fighting for days have long been exhausted, leaning against the corner of the wall, and dozing on the corpses that were too late to deal with.

"That's Song Jian's army," said the county magistrate.

Turning his face, he saw a small soldier leaning against the wall bandaging his arm with one hand.
Walking over and squatting down, he stretched out his hand to help the man fasten the bandage, saying, "If you don't stop bleeding, the bandage is useless."
"It's you?" Xiaojun said in surprise.
Ruan Qing looked up at Xiaojun's face, but didn't remember knowing him, "You..."
Seeing that his acquaintance Xiaojun was very excited, he said to Ruan Qing, "I was in prison two days ago, old man."
A flash of light flashed through Ruan Qing's mind, "It's you!"
"It's Lao Tzu." Huang Xulang cracked his lips into a smile, and a bright red wound appeared on his chapped lips.He was dirty, covered in dust, and even the original color of his hair and beard was covered up, so Ruan Qing didn't recognize him.
"Aren't you out of town?"
"It's a long story." Huang Xulang moved his bandaged arm and said, "I just wanted to go out at dawn, but who knew that the bandits came and sealed the city. Another day will go from house to house to arrest strong men. There is no money to stay in the store. Walking on the street, I was caught here."
Ruan Qing sighed after hearing this.
Huang Xulang asked, "What's the matter with you? Why did you come here? Are you still dressed up?"
"It's a long story. You get up first." Ruan Qing stretched out her hands to help him up.
"I'll do it." Huang Xulang gently pushed Ruan Qing's hand away, and stood up quickly, with a high level of energy, completely different from those soldiers who were tired and sleeping after two or three days of fighting.
"Let's go." Ruan Qing said.
The county magistrate hurriedly asked, "Can you think of a plan, sir?"
"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "Go back first."

Cao Wen said helplessly, "You really guessed it right." He added, "You can just say the words directly. You and I look about the same age."
"That's not necessarily the case." Ruan Qing said with a smile, "Brother Yu has already passed and stood."
Cao Wen was stunned for a moment, seeing Ruan Qing smiling, he also sneered, not paying attention, "Mr. Shaohu, you look like this, have you been crowned? If you want to take advantage of me, you have to choose a plausible reason."

"There's nothing to regret about it." Cao Wen was puzzled, "I'm the weakest champion this year, no matter how you look at it, I'm younger than me."

The two were talking and laughing when the county magistrate came from outside the door, "Mr. Cao, everything is ready."

Ruan Qing curved her thin lips, and a smile flashed in her eyes for a moment, like an elder's relief at seeing a talented young man, "Brother Zizhang, I underestimated you."
"I'll go with you." Cao Wen stood up, frowned again, and said to the county magistrate with a serious expression, "Give me a battle armor, and I will go with him."
"Wars have been ruthless since ancient times, and you still have your parents waiting for you to go back." Ruan Qing also stood up, looked at the other party with a smile, her eyes were calm, "You should stay in the city."
"I'm not a person who is afraid of death. The world is not peaceful now, so I've been afraid of death and stayed at home for a long time." Cao Wen said, "Besides, since you call me brother, I can't just let you go."
"That's all." Ruan Qing sighed softly, and said to the county magistrate, "Find him a pair of armor and a horse." He looked at Cao Wen again, "What weapon are you good at?"
"Lance, halberd, whatever."
These days there are few people using lances, and halberds are rare in the army.
Ruan Qing said again, "Find him another weapon that is convenient for him. Use a gun if you can't find it."
The county magistrate nodded and called people to look for him.As Ruan Qing walked out, she asked, "How's the army gathering?"
The county magistrate said, "Everything has been arranged according to your instructions, and the thousand soldiers you want are also ready to go." After finishing speaking, he paused for two seconds, seeming to hesitate, and said, "There are not many troops in the city. These thousand soldiers, how can you..."
"I know." Ruan Qing stopped at the door and looked at the county magistrate with a half-smile, with piercing coldness in his eyes, "There are enemy troops on one side and mountains on the other. Where can I escape? We are on the same rope. Grasshopper, if the city is broken, no one will survive."
Cao Wenwen was naturally resolute, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and he was dressed in a military uniform, which made him even more heroic, majestic, and majestic without anger.
Ruan Qing sat on the saddle and watched the other party lift the halberd onto the horse very skillfully.The light in the pupil dimmed a little.
Ordinary people can't maintain such aura.Not afraid of war at all.Is this person a newborn calf, or has he been used to it for a long time?
A crack was opened in the heavy city gate, and through the light, the rider took the lead, dragging his gun forward.As the door was slowly opened, the armored soldiers behind him came out one after another.
Song Jian, who was camping outside the city, heard the news and also gathered his troops.
On the vast plain in front of the city, two armies confronted each other.
Ruan Qing tightened the reins, sat down and the steed moved its front hooves a few times uneasily, snorting heavily.
He sat on it, straightened his back, his brows were sharp, and he asked loudly, "Old thief Song Jian, why did you invade my territory?"
The army on the opposite side retreated to the two sides, and a group of people came out on horseback.The boots have narrow sleeves, and they are sent to the left side.
The other party replied in a rough voice, "The territory of the world belongs to the Son of Heaven. What is your territory? Younger Yang Zhao, who violated our territory, came here today to punish the Son of Heaven. Why don't you quickly open the city and surrender."
Ruan Qing didn't know the relationship between Yang Zhao and Song Jian.But as soon as you send troops, you must be famous.He just passed these words off his ears, without taking them to heart at all.
Now he was almost sure of it.Song Jian came here probably to annex the Gu corpse in Yang Zhao's hands.
The two sides can't talk.A big man riding a bay red horse rushed out of Song Jian's army, holding a sharp long ax in his hand.His ax was dark in color and looked heavy and extremely heavy.
The big man yelled in broken Chinese, "Little ants, does anyone dare to fight?"
Qi County's military reserves are not good.Otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten for so many days.
Ruan Qing gripped the barrel of the gun tightly and was about to drive the horse, when Cao Wen Hengji beside him suddenly stopped his horse.
Cao Wen raised one corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows at him, and said, "Let's rest, let your elder brother Zizhang meet him."
After all, the legs clamped the horse's belly.It rushed out like an off-string arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Wen raised his long halberd, and with the help of strength, slashed fiercely at the opponent's head.
The big man of the Qiang Army quickly raised his long axe and stood in front of him.
"Dang!" A sharp sound of iron clashing violently spread out and penetrated into the ears of everyone present.
A wave of air quickly spread around the two of them, with the two of them as the center, dust rose up on the ground.
Cao Wen's forearm was bulging with blue veins, his muscles stretched, his narrow eyes widened, and he clenched his hands tightly, exerting constant pressure.
The two crossed weapons trembled slightly.
The big man raised his hand, broke Cao Wen's pressure, raised his big ax and slashed.
Cao Wen raised his halberd to resist.The two of you come and go, and they start their moves.There are fifty or sixty times in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Qing kept her eyes on the battlefield.Seeing that Cao Wen became more and more courageous in the battle and gained the upper hand, he couldn't help feeling anxious, and shouted, "Zi Zhang!"
When Cao Wen heard this, he took two more moves, pretending to be invincible, dragging his halberd into the battle and fleeing in defeat.
Song Jian looked at it and raised his troops to kill him.
Ruan Qing hurriedly ordered the army to return to the city.When I ran to the bottom of the city, I saw the high gate closed tightly.
When the army saw that the gate was not open, they had already moved their hearts. At that time, the enemy army came behind them, and it was a mess.
Ruan Qing gritted her teeth, raised her hands behind her and shouted, "Come with me, get out."
Then he pulled the reins tightly and fled to the east.
Song Jian, who was watching from the army, saw it, and couldn't help laughing, "Ha, they themselves had a quarrel. That man led a lot of troops, presumably most of the troops in the city. If he was disabled, the city would be powerless to defend. Continue to chase. .”
"Your Majesty." Someone on the side persuaded, "I'm afraid there may be fraud."
"If there is any deceit, why not send it two days earlier? Now they are at the end of their strength. Under the catastrophe, the internal chaos is normal." After Song Jian finished speaking, he was about to chase.I was stopped by that person.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate will lead people to chase after him. It is safer for Your Majesty to stay in the camp."
Song Jian nodded in agreement.
There is a mountain on the north side of Qixian County, named Xishan.There is a valley in the mountain, and there is a section of terrain inside, the front and rear intersections are narrow and the middle is wide, and the mountains on both sides are towering and steep, making it difficult to climb.As summer progresses, the trees in the mountains are particularly lush.
The front and rear teams are like a tug of war.
In the front, Ruan Qing led the people to run wildly all the way, while the enemy army in the back was like a hungry wolf preying on food, full of murderous intent.The rushing horseshoes are like the beating of drums, causing the mountains and rivers to vibrate.
There were not many horses in Qi County, and Ruan Qing brought them all out this time.But there were still infantry running behind.
On the other hand, Song Jian sent people to chase after him, all of whom were capable iron cavalry.
Entering the valley, Ruan Qing ran for her life ahead, but heard screams from behind.Looking back, I saw that the enemy army had caught up to the rear, and raised their hands to slash at the soldiers who were running slowly.A stream of blood splashed out, and the soldier died under the knife.
Ruan Qing looked ahead again, gritted her teeth, turned the horse's head, and rushed against the crowd.
He was almost there, and he had to make sure that the other party would not become suspicious, and they all followed up into the hinterland of the valley.
Cao Wenzheng followed Ruan Qing, seeing Ruan Qing suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards the enemy, his pupils constricted violently, and he yelled, "What are you doing!"
Ruan Qing's voice came from afar, "You lead the way, I will be behind."
Open the way, don't you decide the way yourself.
Cao Wen cursed secretly, seeing that everyone was running with the flag, and there was only one road in this valley, so he thought it would be right, so he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.
Like a flash of lightning, Ruan Qing rushed to the end in an instant, raising her spear.
With a sound of "Dang", he blocked the knife that was about to fall on a sergeant, and stabbed the enemy's heart with his backhand.
He rode his horse behind the team, brandished his gun, resisted the enemy's attack, and protected the team to move forward.
The neighing of war horses suddenly sounded in my ears.It turned out that Cao Wen also came.
The two fought and retreated, leading the enemy to the hinterland step by step.
At this time, there was a piercing howl from the enemy army, and then several figures jumped out.Pounce on the two of them.
Ruan Qing yelled inwardly, pulled the reins hard, sat down and the steed neighed long, and turned its hind hooves. At the same time, its front hooves stood up high, almost in a straight line, and the original vertical became horizontal in an instant.
When the horse's body was spinning, a Gu corpse jumped close to the horse's body.
Although the northern Gu corpses are cleaner and tidy than those in the south, and they can barely be fooled, but Ruan Qing recognized what it was at a glance, and with a raised hand, he stabbed through the Gu corpse's skull.
The Gu zombie "Ke Ke" yelled twice, and completely softened.
"What the hell is this!" Cao Wen on the side scolded angrily while resisting.
Ruan Qing waved his weapon, glanced and saw that the crowd had already retreated into the hinterland, so he shouted, "Let's go."
After finishing speaking, he gripped the barrel of the gun tightly, a bright silver light flashed in his pupils, the meridian was filled with aura, and he climbed up the barrel of the gun along his fingertips, and the barrel of the gun immediately seemed to be wrapped with a mysterious pattern with white lines.
With a violent roar, "Back!" The tail of the spear hit the ground, making a deep buzzing like an ancient bell.The ground in the valley suddenly spread out like water waves, creating a circle of ripples.
The few Gu corpses that were entangled with them were immediately blown away and hit the stone walls on both sides.
Chang. The wooden warehouse was inserted into the soil, but he didn't rush to get it. He shouted, "Zizhang, let's go!" As he said, he turned his horse's head and ran in the original direction.
Since Song Jian dared to send Gu Zong to chase them and these people, it must not be the only few.There should be some troops behind, so we have to leave quickly.
Cao Wen didn't have time to marvel, and when he heard Ruan Qing's shout, he quickly clamped his horse's belly and rode wildly with Ruan Qing.
The pursuers behind also continued to chase in an instant.
Seeing that the distance between the front and back is getting tighter and tighter.After passing the narrow crossing in the valley, Cao Wen hung the halberd on the ring, took down the bow and arrow, pinched the arrow feathers, and stretched the bow to string.
While the horse was galloping, he twisted his waist and turned around, squinting slightly, with sharp eyes.Loosen your fingers, and the feathered arrow flies out like a shooting star.A cavalryman fell to the ground behind him.
Cao Wen fired several more arrows.Until it was empty, the distance between the front and the back was also opened.
Ruan Qing glanced back, couldn't help laughing, "Yes."
"Small, I've been practicing this since I was a child." Cao Wen smiled, turned around suddenly, stretched his long arms, and threw out the bowstring in his palm, hitting a cavalryman's chest and falling to the ground.
The front exit is in and.Ruan Qing gradually settled down.
There was a loud rumbling sound behind him, accompanied by people's screams.
It was the sergeant in ambush on the valley, seeing that the enemy had entered the hinterland, he put down huge boulders and trees to block the retreat.Hundreds of rockets were shot down from above in an instant.
Oil has been poured into the valley, and it is full of vegetation. It has been accumulated all year round, and it has already become a thick layer.
The weather has been nice and dry recently.These flaming arrow feathers ignite as soon as they fall, and the sparks of the fire are connected together to start a wildfire.
The valley was shrouded in flames and scorched by high temperatures.If there is a raging sea of flames, a hell that burns and kills the evils of the world.
The enemy army didn't care what they were chasing the enemy, and the back road was blocked, so they could only run forward with all their strength and escape for their lives.
At this moment, a Gu corpse jumped out from the army behind him, threw Ruan Qing down and sat down on the horse.
The horse was already running fast, but Ruan Qing suddenly lost weight, fell to the ground, spun around for a while, rolled several times, and stopped when he hit a boulder.
Ruan Qing whimpered in pain and spat out blood.
He was stunned by the fall at the moment, he didn't react so quickly, and his whole body hurt so badly that he couldn't move at all.
Cao Wen's steed has already run a few steps away.
"Sijiu." He hurriedly stopped his horse, only to see a Gu corpse with its mouth open showing its fangs and pounced on Ruan Qing, as if it was about to bite off the opponent's neck in the next second.
As soon as Cao Wen pinched the horse's belly, the horse ran out immediately in pain, and he raised his hand and threw it with all his strength.The halberd pierced Ruan Qing's head at the moment when the Gu corpse was about to touch Ruan Qing, and continued to fly away with it.
"Catch it!" Cao Wen bent down and shouted.
Ruan Qing endured the pain, supported her upper body with one hand, and stretched out the other.
Cao Wen grabbed his palm and pulled it hard.Ruan Qing flew to sit behind Cao Wen.
He wrapped his arms around Cao Wen's waist, and looked back to see the enemy soldiers covered in fire lying on the ground, crying and wailing, and the burning Gu corpses became even more uncontrollable, jumping up and down.The enemy troops that have not been affected are rushing towards the exit with all their strength.
It was a mess, and the ghosts were howling.
"Quickly shut up." The leader standing above the valley hurriedly urged when he saw that the enemy was about to go out.
"But there are still people who haven't come out." Xiaojun said.
"No, it's too late." The team leader stared at the battlefield, "When they come out, many enemy troops will follow. Seal the valley quickly."
A deeper and more intense rumbling sound came from above the head.
Cao Wen raised his head slightly, and saw rocks and trees rolling down the hillside not far away, as well as a burning train.
"Bastard." He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, frowning, his eyes full of gloom and murderous intent.
"Hold me tight and sit still." He yelled.
Ruan Qing hurriedly tightened her arms.
Cao Wen squeezed the reins tightly, pulled out a very sharp wooden hairpin cut with a wooden stick from the horse's tail, and stabbed it fiercely into the horse's body.
The horse ran wild like crazy.
The boulders and other objects falling from both sides passed behind them, and they were about to form a group to meet Hades a second later.
The narrowest place ahead was blocked, and the burning diesel wagons were dangerously hot.
Cao Wen stared closely, waiting for the right time, he pulled the rein hard and clamped his legs tightly.
The steed jumped up in an instant, and almost jumped to the opposite side next to the Heat.
The four hooves fell to the ground, crushing the fine stones.Keep going.
There is no hindrance and fire ahead.The mountains are full of splendor and the vegetation is flourishing.
