Yang Ling, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army's partial division, coerced and lured the Western Duke Han Hong and Han Yu's father and son to stop the Eastern Army from returning to aid Jijing at the border between Boling and Anping. At this time, in Boling, the Eastern Army had finished cleaning the battlefield, and Liang Qiuwu We also met Liu Qing, Liao Li, Cheng Yang, Ku Yang and others.
"Xiao Qing, it's all thanks to you this time" After seeing each other for a long time, Liang Qiu Wu took Liu Qing's hand and chattered, with many words of gratitude.
No wonder, after all, if Liu Qing and Liao Li hadn't come to muddy the waters in Boling, the Eastern Army might not have been able to escape from the veteran Yang Ling. Although she, Liang Qiuwu, could probably escape with her extraordinary martial arts, but her subordinates Ordinary soldiers of the Eastern Army were obviously not spared. After all, the veteran general Yang Ling was experienced and would never let the Eastern Army return to aid Jijing to destroy the good deeds of its leader, King Yan Li Mao.
Being praised by Liang Qiu Wu in front of many generals, Liu Qing couldn't help but blush slightly. Nuonuo said, "Sister Xiao Wu is so complimentary. She actually didn't do anything" After saying this, she looked up. He glanced at Liang Qiu Wu and said with sincere joy, "Qing'er is really happy to see her sister out of trouble."
For some reason, her eyes were slightly red.
It's no wonder, after all, Liu Qing can be said to be well-known now and has no close relatives. Although there is an uncle Liu Yan who also has the blood of the Liu family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in the final analysis, he has never come into contact with him before. Comparatively speaking, Liang Qiu Wu is probably closer to her. After all, Liang Qiu Wu is Liang Qiu Hao's cousin. As the saying goes, Liu Qing has already known Liang Qiu Wu from the first moment she met Liang Qiu Wu. The cousin of "Brother Chen" is regarded as the closest person.
At the same time, Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, Luo Chao and others were surrounding Liao Li, Cheng Yang, Ku Yang and others, disturbing them about what they had just witnessed on the battlefield. During this period, there was no lack of praise for Liao Li.
Somewhat beyond the expectations of these four Eastern Army generals, they never expected that Liao Li, who was just an ordinary general during the military exercise three years ago, has now become the commander of the Jizhou Army's partial divisions. He even has martial arts skills. The four generals were amazed.
The moment. Unwilling to admit defeat, Xiang Qing opened his mouth to challenge Liao Li in a test of strength. Who told Ku Yang to keep touting that his General Liao was the second most powerful general of the Jizhou Army?
Xiang Qing's strength is well known to everyone. When this man chased Xie An to Dong Gong's Mansion to ask Liang Qiu to let him go, he stopped a frightened horse on his own in the street. One can imagine his strength. But this time in front of Liao Li, although Xiang Qing couldn't be said to be at a disadvantage, he still couldn't win.
The two people were in a stalemate like this for dozens of seconds, when suddenly there was a loud "Gapeng" sound. The entire case was interrupted by Xiang Qing and Liao Li.
"Good arm strength!" Chen Gang was bandaging his wounds at this time, and he couldn't help but admired this. You must know that Xiang Qing's strength is inferior to even his, but he didn't expect that Liao Li could be on par with him.
Glancing at Liao Li, Chen Gang looked up to Liao Li even more.
"Brother Liao is really strong!" Xiang Qing let go of his right hand and glanced at the five fingerprints on the back of his hand that were pinched by Liao Li. He shook his hand indifferently and praised with a smile.
"Where is it! I have heard Master Xie say for a long time that Vice General Xiang is capable of carrying a cauldron. Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary!" Liao Li also repeated Xiang Qing's actions. He replied with a smile.
Seeing Xiang Qing and Liao Li praising each other heroically, Kuyang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was a pity that Liao Li, whom he admired, did not win the battle, but when he thought that Liao Li's true ability was not complete Reflected in his martial arts skills, Kuyang's mood immediately improved a lot.
Not far away, Liang Qiuwu and Liu Qing looked at these warriors and shook their heads. You must know that they are talking in detail about the changes in Hebei Jing, but these people are nice and have a leisurely arm wrestling. If they were not in a good mood after a big victory, Liang Qiuwu would probably scold them.
"Ignore them. Xiaoqing, go on."
"Okay." Liu Qing nodded, turning a blind eye to the situation of Xiang Qing and Liao Li, and told Liang Qiuwu seriously what happened in Jijing, only to hear the latter nod repeatedly.
Suddenly, Liang Qiuwu seemed to have thought of something, and frowned and said, "Wait a minute, Xiaoqing, you just said that Li Mao was trapped in Jijing, so you had to summon the Northern Xinjiang veteran Yang Ling who was in Boling. How can I wait?" Isn¡¯t it something bad?¡±
Liu Qing naturally knew what Liangqiu Wu was referring to.
Thinking about it, you know that since Yang Ling saw that Liangqiu was out of trouble, he would probably continue to stay in Boling. In all likelihood, he would go directly to the direction of Jijing to provide support. That was a 60,000-strong Northern Xinjiang army. This powerful force If their power intervenes in the war in Jijing, it will obviously cause immeasurable changes to the entire battlefield situation. andThe worst change among them was that King Yan Li Mao used this new force to revive his military strength and once again created the momentum to completely overwhelm the imperial army in terms of force.
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry too much about this matter. I think that woman Changsun Xiangyu must have expected it in advance"
"No!" Liang Qiuwu shook her head when she heard this, and said seriously, "This matter started because of me, how can it ruin the overall situation?" After that, she stood up and ordered, "Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing The four generals Luo Chao and Luo Chao listened to the order and sent orders to all the troops. Our troops will return to support Hebei Capital immediately!"
"At the moment?" Xiang Qing, who was calling himself brother to Liao Li, dropped the smile on his face and asked seriously. The reason why he asked this was simply because it was getting late.
Liang Qiuwu naturally understood the purpose of Xiang Qingwen's words, nodded and affirmed, "Yes, now! Day and night!"
"Yes!" Xiang Qing cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"There is also Liao Li." Turning to look at Liao Li, Liang Qiuwu said in a deep voice, "Before our army arrives at the Eastern Army, you will act with our army and temporarily return to the command of my general. Do you have any objection?"
You must know that Liang Qiuwu is Xie An's eldest wife. She didn't dare to have any objections even if Liao Li didn't know how to do it. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will obey the order!"
"Okay! Then let's head towards Jijing!"
¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
The order was issued, and the Eastern Army performed their duties and marched towards Jijing at dusk that day. However, when they passed the junction of Boling, they noticed that the camp belonging to the Western Army in the distance was still brightly lit.
this means. The Western Army did not go to Jijing with the veteran Yang Ling, but continued to stay here. As for who it was guarding against, it is self-evident.
"This Han family father and son will not repent even when they are about to die!" Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the impulsive Chen Gang couldn't help but cursed.
When Liang Qiuwu saw this, his face darkened and he asked Xiang Qing to ride his horse and approach the camp with a torch to shout. I hope that the Han family father and son can abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side and change their minds.
But who would have thought that before Xiang Qing got close to the camp, a barrage of arrows was fired at him. Xiang Qing was frightened and fled back, cursing continuously.
"These idiots are so insidious!"
Kuyang was puzzled and stepped forward curiously, picking up an arrow on the ground. Only then did he understand why Xiang Qing was gnashing his teeth and yelling.
It turns out that the sharp arrows fired from the Western Army were blackened with ink and difficult to detect in the dark night. If Xiang Qing hadn't been very skilled, he might have hit the target long ago.
"It seems that this is the answer I've been waiting for from the Western Army!" He took the arrow from the dead sheep. Liao Li respectfully handed it to Liang Qiu Wu.
"" Liang Qiuwu looked at the tampered arrows, anger looming on her pretty face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since this is the answer of the Western Army to our army, then naturally our Eastern Army will also express something!"
These words really made everyone¡¯s blood boil with excitement, especially Kuyang.
No wonder. You must know that this is a battle between the Western Army and the Eastern Army.
For many years, the Eastern Army and the Western Army were both one of the four towns in Jijing, and they had never fought against each other. If the two armies faced off this time, wouldn't it be the most exciting thing?
At this time, Liangqiu Wu had issued an order to attack the camp.
It was beyond everyone¡¯s expectation. Although the attitude of the Western Army was tough, its strength seemed to be vulnerable. In just one face-to-face encounter, the Eastern Army broke through the camp.
Watching the soldiers of the Western Army wearing silver armor fleeing towards the front like a desperation, the soldiers of the Eastern Army burst into laughter.
Thinking about it, a silver-white armor is so conspicuous in this dark night. It can be said that under the bright moonlight, those Western soldiers had no way to hide.
Escape? Where to escape?
There is no need for general orders at all. The soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army perform their duties and pursue their respective targets.
This is no kind of fighting, it is simply a one-sided situation, which stunned Kuyang, who was originally expecting it.
"This is the Western Army? So vulnerable?" Kuyang was really dumbfounded. After all, the strength of the Western Army in front of them was not even as strong as the Taiping Army's miscellaneous soldiers, and they collapsed at the first touch.
Xiang Qing, the general of the Eastern Army not far away, chuckled when he heard this, and said with some pride, "It depends on what kind of army we encounter! Just those guys from the Western Army? We can fight the Taishan bandits for a year and a half. Zai, and finally retreated to Jijing in embarrassmentridiculous!"
Indeed, in the early years when Xie An was still in the Anle Palace of Li Shou, the Han family and his son had been suppressing bandits near Mount Tai. They had been annihilating them for more than a year, and the bandits were not missing at all. If the Han family and his son had not been kind to the court in the early years, , I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s already been charged. In the end, it was Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor at that time, whoHe secretly recalled the Western Army to Jijing in an attempt to usurp the throne.
¡°Perhaps because they knew these things, the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army never took the Western Army seriously at all.
¡°However, Liao Like didn¡¯t see it that way.
"Call¡ª¡ª"
Under the surprised gaze of the dead sheep, Liao Li reined in the horse and glanced at the surrounding dark mountains with suspicious eyes.
"Vice General Xiang, Vice General Xiang!"
"Huh?" Xiang Qing also reined in his horse and looked back at Liao Li in confusion.
Liao Li glanced at the dark land in the distance, suddenly frowned and said, "Don't Vice General Xiang feel that the Western Army is getting smaller and smaller?"
Xiang Qing looked into the distance subconsciously when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly froze, because he was horrified to find that the silver-white figures of the Western Army in the distance were disappearing at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the continuous surroundings. In the dark night.
In a short time, tens of thousands of Western troops disappeared without a trace.
"What a ghost!" Xiang Qing rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
At this time, the other nearby Eastern Army soldiers had obviously noticed this extremely incredible thing, and they were all at a loss. After all, the Western Army disappeared without a trace under their noses.
What makes people even more chilly is that there are waves of wailing faintly coming from the nearby mountains. It is vague and terrifying, and makes people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
¡°There!¡± Suddenly, an Eastern Army soldier pointed at the mountains on the left and shouted.
The soldiers of the Eastern Army turned around and took a look. Sure enough, he saw countless silver-white figures on the hill. He suddenly felt relieved.
"What? It turns out it's just a case of seeing things" A soldier used a self-deprecating tone to ease the fear in his heart.
The generals of the Eastern Army laughed a few times and hurriedly chased there, but they didn't arrive yet. Everyone watched with helpless eyes as those silver-white figures disappeared without a trace in an instant. Immediately, on the mountains on the right, the silver-white figures of the Western Army appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the silver-white figures on the right suddenly disappeared, and then appeared elsewhere. The whole process only made the Eastern Army soldiers sweat on their foreheads.
After going back and forth several times, the Eastern Army generals could not find the location of the Western Army, let alone the Western Army. Even they had no way of knowing where they had chased them. They could only feel that there were soldiers of the Western Army everywhere.
Suddenly, a scream came from the left side of the army. Xiang Qing turned his head subconsciously. Only then did he notice that dozens of Eastern Army soldiers on the left were injured by hidden arrows. Looking in the direction of the hidden arrows, Xiang Qing saw that Only then did Qing see hundreds of silver-white figures in the forest on the roadside.
"How dare your son-in-law stab someone in the back?!"
He cursed loudly. Xiang Qing personally led people to chase him, but he didn't get close. Then he discovered that those silver-white figures had disappeared.
Immediately, the right side of the Eastern Army's large force was attacked again. Those who attacked them were still those Western soldiers wearing silver-white armor. However, when Chen Gang, who was furious, led his men to chase after them, they found that the opponent had already disappeared without a trace. Without a trace.
[what on earth is it? Could it be that every one of the Western Army was transformed by a ghost? Do you know the magic of moving? ]
The generals of the Eastern Army were a little frightened and could not understand what they had encountered. Is it a human or a ghost?
If it were a human being, how could it be possible for a human being to disappear without any reason? If it's a ghost can a human fight against a ghost?
"Sothe Western Army is an assassin?" Yan Kai murmured to himself.
From the sidelines, Cheng Yang couldn't understand what he heard and asked in confusion, "What did Deputy General Yan say?"
I saw Yan Kai¡¯s eyes gleaming. He whispered, "The four towns in Jijing each have their own division of labor. The Eastern Army is cavalry, the Southern Army is heavy infantry, and the Northern Army is light infantry. Only the Western Army is the most mysterious. Now I finally understand. The Western Army is an assassin. !¡±
"Assassin?" Liao Li immediately thought of the figure of Sickle Mofei. He thought that just the hundreds of Dongling assassins had already made it impossible for the Taiping Army to find a place to live in Guangling. This time, these two thousand Xi If Jun is really an assassin, why don't he make the Eastern Army suffer?
Yes, during the day, in a head-on confrontation, an army composed of assassins is indeed no match for the Eastern Army, but what about at night?
The battle of Guangling is enough to prove how terrifying assassins are at night.
What¡¯s even worse is that the assassin of the Western Army may be a human or a ghost. Otherwise, how could he sneak attack the Eastern Army without any sound and then disappear without a trace?
Looking at the expressions of the generals around him, Kuyang felt a little puzzled and asked Luo Chao in a low voice.
"General Luo, the situation of the Western Armythe Eastern Army does not know anything about it"?? "
Luo Chao shook his head.
Ku Yang was about to ask again when Yan Kai from the side added in a low voice, "Don't ask. We know as much about the Western Army as you do We have never fought against each other"
Liao Li listened to bewildered on the side, and curiously interjected, "Never fought against each other? Never even conducted exercises together? When we were in Jijing two years ago, didn't the Southern Army still exercise with us?"
"That's because Mr. Lu loves my uncle, and since his only son has passed away, he wants to hand over the Confederate Army to my uncle But in the early years, when Mr. Lu was still alive, the Confederate Army never exercised with our army, let alone Don't talk about your Jizhou Army" Yan Kai patiently explained that the Young Master Lu he was referring to was Lu Gong's only son, Lu Fan, who was killed by Liang Qiu Hao when he was at Hangu Pass in Han Dynasty in his early years.
"That's it" Liao Li suddenly realized it, and immediately frowned and looked at the windy mountains.
He had a hunch that if no one made a correct judgment on the situation at hand, the Eastern Army might be lost here this time.
Sure enough, Liao Li¡¯s premonition came true. Different from the overwhelming advantage that the Eastern Army had when it faced the Western Army in Jijing City, today's Eastern Army is struggling under the harassment of the Western Army. Almost every mile it travels, it will be sniped by the Western Army. .
What made the Eastern Army generals feel depressed and frightened was that those Western Army soldiers who secretly attacked them with hidden arrows seemed to be ghosts seeking death. Once they succeeded, they disappeared without a trace, forcing them to pursue them continuously. There is no chance.
The most unlucky thing is that the Eastern Army was trying to catch up with the Western Army. They actually came to a place with uneven and muddy roads and lost their direction, which meant that the Eastern Army lost the great weapon of speed.
"These idiots must have let off steam when they were in Jijing four years ago!" Xiang Qing couldn't help but cursed angrily as he walked on the muddy road. He originally thought that the Western Army was just deceiving the world and stealing its reputation, but he didn't think so. They did have a trick to beat the enemy, and when this trick was used, it was so hard for the Eastern Army to resist.
Liang Qiuwu¡¯s expression was not good-looking either. After all, it was she who gave the order to pursue the Western Army. This time the Eastern Army lost its way in the dark night, and she must bear the greatest responsibility.
But now, she really didn¡¯t expect that the Western Army would be so difficult to deal with.
It has to be said that in the face of such endless harassment by the Western Army, the Eastern Army was unable to move forward. As a last resort, Liang Qiuwu issued an order to rest where he was, and asked his soldiers to be alert to the attack of the Western Army.
This night, the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army had a miserable life, because almost the entire night, they were frantically harassed by the Western Army. Sometimes, no one was even discovered to be attacking. Many Eastern Army generals have been killed by arrows, as if a ghost was seeking their lives. It seriously tortured the hearts of the Eastern Army soldiers and generals.
It was like this until dawn, and the situation turned a little better. At least the Western soldiers no longer dared to blatantly attack the Eastern Army. However, how could the Eastern Army still have the energy to march after experiencing a whole night of nightmare torture? Not to mention fighting with the Western Army.
day to day. The situation became worse and worse. During the day, the Eastern Army had no way to march under the harassment of the Western Army. But at night, the Western Army simply ruled the world and could come and go as they pleased. It was as if they were all possessed by Liang Qiuhao, Jin Ling'er, and Mo Fei. They came as they came, left as soon as they came, and disappeared as soon as they came. No trace of them could be found.
"If the footprints left by the soldiers of the Western Army hadn't proved that these people were still alive, I'm afraid the soldiers of the Eastern Army would have been tortured crazy.
It was only now that they understood why the Western Army was able to harass the Southern Tang army on its own and prevent them from living in peace for a moment.
Not to mention generals such as Liang Qiuwu and Liao Li, even the smart and astute Liu Qing was stumped by the Western Army who seemed to be possessed by gods and ghosts. She could not figure out what the living soldiers of the Western Army were like. How did he disappear without a trace under the eyes of countless soldiers of the Eastern Army?
But at the same time, Liu Qing finally understood something.
[I see Is this the real intention of that woman Changsun Xiangyu calling me over? ]
At night, Liu Qing sat by the bonfire and thought carefully.
¡°Some people may say that in the face of the all-pervasive harassment by the Western Army, is it really appropriate for the Eastern Army to light a bonfire so unscrupulously?
But in fact, even if the Eastern Army extinguished the bonfire, they might not be able to withstand the Western Army's constant sneak attacks. Lighting the bonfire would at least give the Eastern Army soldiers some confidence. Otherwise, everything would be dark at first glance, which would be a kind of spiritual torture.
"Xiaoqing, what are you thinking about?" Liang Qiuwu handed Liu Qing a small bag of dry food.
"I'm thinking about that woman Changsun Xiangyu" After taking the rations and thanking her, Liu Qing was a little unconvinced, but had to convince herself and said, "II thought she asked me to come here to deal with Yang Ling, but now I understand that the person she asked me to find a way to deal with was the Western Army! That woman had long expected that I could rescue you, Sister Xiaowu, and she also expected that the Western Army would be here to stop our army from returning to Jijing"
Indeed, Liu Qing was actually a little confused earlier. She wondered more than once why Changsun Xiangyu asked her to rescue Liang Qiuwu.
Is it just for the military strategy with Northern Xinjiang veteran Yang Ling?
Liu Qing doesn¡¯t think so, because if it were just like this, there would be no need for her, Liu Qing, to step in. Liao Li could definitely shoulder this responsibility.
But if that¡¯s not the case, then why?
And now she finally understands that what Changsun Xiangyu wants her to deal with is the Western Army! It was as if that woman had already anticipated what would happen to Liang Qiu Wu, Yang Ling, the Han family and his son, and everyone including her, Liu Qing, after that.
[Evildoer! ]
Even Liu Qing couldn't help but curse in her heart.
"The Western Army" Liang Qiuwu's expression was a little ugly. After all, the Eastern Army had never been so hindered. The strength of the Western Army was beyond her expectation.
"Do you have any ideas?" Liang Qiuwu asked after a long silence.
Liu Qing remained silent. Apparently, she had not yet understood why the Western Army was willing to do those strange things, and her heart was filled with many doubts.
Seeing this, Liangqiu Wu didn't ask any questions and just kept stirring the bonfire.
Looking at the bright bonfire, Liu Qing's head was calculating at a speed that ordinary people could not match. This wisdom that almost frustrates Changsun Xiangyu would now be lost in the hands of Jie Fanjun of the Western Army?
Liu Qing absolutely does not admit this.
But having said that, what exactly did the Western Army do? How can they do this?
Liu Qing really couldn't figure it out. She stood up, called Liao Li to guard her, and walked around boredly, just to relax and relieve the tension in her heart.
¡°[If it¡¯s that guy, he should be good at this kind of thing, right? Does knowledge determine wisdom? ]
Liu Qing thought of Xie An unconsciously, feeling a little disappointed.
After walking for who knows how long, Liu Qing¡¯s attention was attracted by shiny things on the ground in front of her.
"This is¡¡"
She stepped forward, knelt down and picked it up. After taking a closer look, a strange look slowly appeared on her face.
"How come this thing is here?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
