Wuyin, the first year of Longsheng, on the ninth day of March, the Yongzezhou Shuiying and the Northern Han Qinzhou Shuiying fought at Qinshui, the Yongjun’s equipment was half destroyed, the deputy commander of the Northern Han Dynasty Liu Dai, the fourth son of Jinjun King Captured.
——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Yong Ji San"
I looked up boredly at the sky full of feather arrows. I stood calmly on the boat. It is because the river in this area is not particularly wide, and Xiao Shunzi is enough to take me ashore in a crisis, so I too Just show a calm and fearless appearance, if it is really dangerous, I'm afraid I would have let Xiao Shunzi take me away long ago. Looking at the chaotic river in front of me, I was a little tired and wanted to have a chair to sit down. However, considering the morale boost, I had to stand there straight. It's been almost an hour. The Yong army should come to support me nearby, but I looked up, but there was no figure, and I couldn't help feeling uneasy. Could it be that the North Han army has come out to challenge? Now Ji is unstable, how are they Will play at this time.
While thinking in my mind, Su Qing said coldly behind me: "My lord, I thought about it carefully. This navy army should have been newly built at the beginning of last year. The commander of the navy army is Beihan. The confidant general of the ruler, General Ji Sheng, received information that he had established a new army in the upper reaches of Qinshui. However, Ji Sheng has always been at odds with Long Ting. The information that the final general received was that he asked to train the new army to fight Long Ting. Flying confrontation, so the end general did not pay special attention. Now I think they should use the lake at the source of the water to train the navy. Because of the protection of the magic door master, the scouts we sent in the past cannot penetrate the defense line there, and the end will be at that time I am instructed to preside over the overall situation in Qinzhou, and for such omissions, please forgive me."
I waved my hand and said: "This is the end of the matter. It's useless to talk about it, but Jisheng shouldn't be good at the navy at first, so why did he become the leader of the navy?"
Su Qing thought for a while and said: "The last general will look at the warships of the North Han navy. It should be the standard stern of the South Chu. It must be the South Chu navy general to help train. Although Ji Sheng is also a cavalry general, He was born as a Qinshui fisherman, at least more suitable than other generals."
I pointed to the young general who had just shot me three arrows. At this moment, he had taken a few boats and tried to break through the obstacles to deal with the heavy ships. Seeing him bravely fighting, I couldn't help but feel quite moved. Su Qing glanced at him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "This person is a clan of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Dai, the fourth son of Jinjun King, and most of the Jinjun Kings are all unsuccessful. Only this concubine is a literary and martial artist. , Originally intended to be the son of the eldest son, but the princess of the county was born in a famous family in the Northern Han Dynasty, naturally refused to let the son of the eldest son go out of her hand, and repeatedly embarrassed Liu Dai, so the King Jin was forced to send Liu Dai to the army as a general. This person has become a navy general."
I exclaimed: "Sure enough, there are many talents in the Royal Family of the Northern Han Dynasty. This Liu Dai was probably a cavalry general. It will not be long to learn about water warfare. Although there are still some shortcomings, it is already extremely rare. People, then this battle is just a small setback for us, and it’s worth it." I saw him hitting several times, but he failed to rush past my navy block and attacked the heavy ship behind. I couldn’t help but think about it. Zhuang Ru whispered: "Could you let him go, then put on a small amount of weight, and sack him. This person is a member of the North Han clan and a rookie in the navy. If you can sack this person, Bei Han Shui The morale of the army will inevitably be frustrated, and the world above the Qinshui will be our army’s world."
Zhuang Ru said in embarrassment: "If it is a heavy loss, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Qi will blame it."
I smiled and said: "As long as this person is captured and killed, I will do my best."
Zhuang Ru showed a relieved look on his face and waved the banner in his hand. Not long after, Liu Dai successfully broke through the defense line of the Dayong navy. He rushed forward with surprise. The navy on the boat used rockets. Suddenly the fireworks on the river raged, and several heavy ships were set alight. I knew his intention, to burn those heavy ships and hit the morale of our army severely, and after he burned out the heavy ships, he could attack back and forth and break the Da Yongshui army. The ship array. He rushed smoothly and drove many North Han army warships to pass through the gap. Those warships had gradually fallen into the Yong army fleet, but now they saw the opportunity, they all went backwards. The killing went smoothly. Most of the North Han navy did not notice. In addition to most of the heavy ships retreating, there were more than a dozen heavy ships moving away from both sides when Zhuang Ru ordered to release the line of defense. The warship brought was surrounded. With murderous intent on Zhuang Ru's face, with an order, these heavy ships rushed towards the middle stream as if they were out of control. The navy on the ship lit the heavy grains and grass and dived to escape. A dozen fire ships trapped Liu Dai and others.
When the young general saw it, his expression was pale. He was walking down the river, knowing that he could not turn the rudder back immediately, so he had to order to continue forward. At this time, several heavy ships that had retreated were under the heart of the river. The anchor stopped and was already blocked on the water. Liu Dai's warship happened to hit it after rushing through the fireworks. The Yongjun and naval forces on the heavy ships released rockets together, and the heavy ships were soaring into the sky, trapping Liu Dai's dozen warships in the sea of flames.
At this time, Ji Sheng, the commander of the North Han navy army, saw the fire in the rear of the Yong army. His sight was blocked by fireworks. He was still happy that Liu Dai burned the enemy’s baggage. Unexpectedly, a screaming horn came from behind. Ji Sheng felt cold in his heart. Obviously Liu Dai was in a desperate situation. Although he wanted to rescue him, he saw the warships of the Yong army swarming in all directions. He knew that if he continued to fight, he would be lucky. He had to order to retreat. The speed surpassed the Yong Army, and not long after successfully disappearing from the Yong Army's sight.
Seeing that the enemy army had retreated, Zhuang Ru hurriedly ordered the sweep of the battlefield and the collection of prisoners. Almost all of the remaining Northern Han troops died in the battle. The soldiers of the Yong army also admired their bravery. Only Liu Dai who fought to the end was finally killed. Several well-watered Yongjun water ghosts overturned in the water and captured them alive. In this battle, the Yong Army lost eighteen heavy ships and 19 warships, while the Northern Han Army lost seven sterns and twelve battleships. Although by comparison, the Yong Army was still defeated. It was all laughter. This time the North Han navy army was repelled without warning, and the Yong army was ready to fight for the supremacy of Qinshui. They had enough means to prevent the North Han navy from going south, and there was no fact that they were unable to win. Let them worry, after all, the main purpose of the Zezhou navy is to transport luggage, not to fight the North Han navy. And Zhuang Ru and others knew that the fact that Liu Dai was captured alive was enough to make the newly-built North Han Navy lose confidence, so they were even more elated. As for the weight of the loss, they would not care about it. I can bear it.
I happily paid a hundred taels of gold, and let the navy who had captured Liu Dai allocate it by himself, so that Liu Dai, who had been dizzy by the river water, was locked into the bottom compartment. Then I went back to the cabin and wrote a letter to His Royal Highness Qi Wang with a bitter face, explaining to him the loss of his luggage. Although I agreed with Zhuang Ru to sacrifice some of his luggage, the eighteen ships were a bit too ridiculous, but thought Liu Dai, who has a good hand, smiled triumphantly.
At this time, Hu Yanshou walked in with a solemn expression: "My lord, reinforcements are here."
While writing swiftly, I asked: "What's the matter? I remember that there should be at least a thousand cavalry nearby. They can't fight in water, but the Qinshui River is not wide, so they can shoot with crossbows on the bank. Why did those North Han naval forces come so late? Didn’t they see our signal for help?"
Hu Yanshou said angrily: "The subordinates have already asked the leading generals. There are only a few small cavalry men in the vicinity. After seeing the signal for help, they came to rescue one after another. Who knows that there are people who have the means to help them. Sniped and killed the generals of most of the cavalry. These cavalry were forced to chase the assassins. Now it is a mess."
My hand shook, and a drop of ink fell on the white paper. I looked at the letter paper stained with ink, sighed, and threw the unfinished letter into the stove in the corner of the cabin, and put down the hoof. I stood up blankly and said, "Is it done by myself?"
Hu Yanshou said sadly: "Yes, from the point of view of the assassination method, it should be a person, and our army has been clearing the field for many days. There will never be too many assassin spies staying in this area."
I fell into deep thought and looked up at Xiao Shunzi and said: "Do you have such a method?"
Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "That man's martial arts is not weaker than me."
I sneered and said: "You said how many people in the Northern Han Dynasty can compare martial arts with you?"
Xiao Shunzi didn't even think about it and said: "It should be Duan Lingxiao who came here, Jing Wuji will not make a move."
I thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Xiao Shunzi, do you think Duan Lingxiao will stay in this area? If he wants to assassinate me or King Qi, it should not be easy, but if he wants to assassinate the low-level generals, it will be easy ."
Xiao Shunzi said coldly: "If Duan Lingxiao stays here, he can only be mixed among the refugees or hidden in the wild, the son may as well order the cavalry in charge of the clearing field to form a team of 500 people, echo each other, and see All the people of the Northern Han Dynasty were slaughtered, and Duan Lingxiao could not hide. Even if Duan Lingxiao wanted to assassinate, it would be difficult for him to approach our army easily. If he reluctantly did so, then five hundred cavalry could hold him tightly and wait until our army masters rushed away. After that, no matter how high Duan Lingxiao's martial arts is, it is difficult to escape."
I thought about it carefully, and said: "The matter is urgent, and I cannot report it to His Royal Highness Qi. Hu Yanshou, send me an order to clear the field in advance, and send someone to inform His Royal Highness Qi to know."
I quickly wrote more than a dozen military orders, stamped my supervising army seal, and then passed it on. Although I am a supervising army, I cannot directly mobilize the army, but this situation is quite special. I just asked for it in advance Action, my supervising army big seal should be good. And I'm also thinking about those middle and low-level generals. If they don't cherish their lives, then I won't care about them. Of course, I deliberately wrote a letter to inform King Qi. In order to deliver it safely, I asked Su Qing to deliver it personally. Although she is not Duan Lingxiao’s opponent, I can’t let Xiao Shunzi deliver the letter. Life is the most important thing.
On the grassy post road, a cavalry team galloped past, led by Su Qing, followed by some cavalry in cyan armor, she was ordered to report to the king of Qi for military affairs, so she hurriedly increased her whip and dared not stay for a while At this time, the nearby army had received Jiang Zhe’s order to clear the country in advance. Fortunately, most of the civilians in the Northern Han Dynasty had fled to the Ji clan, so they did not see too many massacres along the way, not to mention that Su Qing's heart was as hard as iron. , Even to see the miserable scene is just a blow. She walked in a hurry. Except for her trusted maid, Ru Yue, only the cavalry sent to him by Jiang Zhe. The assassin who assassinated the generals of the Yong army should have not been captured yet, so Su Qing was cautious along the way and didn't dare. main idea.
Suddenly, Su Qing's eyes glanced across the pavilion on the road ahead. A man in gray was standing with his hand on his back. Su Qing's eyes were so sharp. At a glance, he could see the man's appearance clearly. He is more than 30 years old, his body is as tall as a stalwart pine, his appearance is straight and upright, his eyes are deep, and his eyes are as deep as the night sky, which makes people feel unpredictable.
Su Qing stayed on the horse. These war horses were all well-trained. When Su Qing stayed on the horse, the horses behind them stopped in time. The cavalry that had run wild came to a standstill, and the cavalry knew about the assassination. Murderous intent was born in his heart, and the murderous aura of more than twenty people gathered together, making this small piece of heaven and earth seem to freeze. The gray-clothed man's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but marvel at the quality of this cavalry. He slowly stepped forward and said indifferently: "The girl is Su Qing, the chief guard of the Da Yong army?" Although it was a questioning tone, everyone I felt that he had already confirmed this in his heart, and the question was just for confirmation.
Su Qing said coldly: "It turns out that it was Duan Lingxiao, the first disciple of the Demon Sect, who came here. Didn't Duan know that the mantle arm can be a car? I have a great horse, why do you do such a useless act." /
Duan Lingxiao smiled slightly and said: "The girl is right. Although Duan has a strong martial arts, he can't compare with thousands of troops. It's just that some things are better than not doing well. The girl was on the shore of Qinshui not long ago. Duan was very impressed by the decision to kill. Duan's younger brother Xiao Tong once described the girl's achievements in detail. Duan couldn't help but want to see you, the hero of the female middle school. Today we meet each other, but fortunately, the girl does not come here as a horse , Can we talk about it?"
A warm light flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and said: "It is a great honor for Su Qing to have a conversation with your Excellency." After that, he got off his horse and walked to the pavilion. Her maid Ruyue said loudly, "Miss, he must be intercepted by you, so how can you talk to him."
Su Qing laughed and said: "What kind of identity Duan Lingxiao is, how can the future Sect Master of the Demon Sect be turned back? Since Su Qing was invited to talk, if he were to blame without telling it, wouldn't it be a laugh in the world."
Duan Lingxiao’s eyes flashed with appreciation. He naturally disdain to care about with Ruyue. He just glanced at her coldly, and said to Su Qing: “Su Qing’s women don’t let their eyebrows be shaved. No wonder Junior Brother Xiao regards the girl as a life enemy. My Junior Brother Qiu also admires the girl very much. I saw it today and I was not as well-known as we met. Miss Su, you are originally from the North Han Dynasty, but you are just for the sake of personal hatred, but it’s a shame to open your eyes for Dayong."
Su Qing smiled proudly and said: "Your Excellency thinks that you can take Su Qing's life today, so I feel a pity? The North Han has no favor with me, Su Qing, just for revenge and hatred, so it’s OK for Su Qing to belong to Dayong. , And now that Dayong has the Central Plains, the Northern Han and Southern Chu are just lingering, even though the Northern Han Demon Sect has countless heroes, the general trend is like this, and what can be done, if you are willing to abandon the dark and cast the light, it must be above Su Qing, why bother to hold on to the incompleteness, Even the death of the country will be destroyed."
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and said: "Finally, I also know that Miss Su will not look back, but she feels a little bit unbearable. The girl knows why the Yong army drove and slaughtered civilians this time. If the girl is willing to tell you, Duan It’s not necessary to kill the girl’s life."
Su Qing smiled slightly. Although he knew that Duan Lingxiao said that he was going to kill him, he didn't take it to heart, and said: "Su Qing is just a general scout post. How do you know this kind of military event? Your Excellency asked Yu Blind."
Duan Lingxiao said coldly: "Is it true? Miss Su knows why I suddenly murdered?"
Su Qing thought about it for a moment, and looked solemnly: "Naturally, these cavalry are not allowed to rescue the navy. Presumably Uncle Duan really hopes that our navy will be defeated."
Duan Lingxiao said indifferently: "You are right. Since the Yong Army entered Qinzhou, I have come to investigate the military situation. This time the Yong Army invasion was so powerful that it survived this battle. Duan also had to personally Go out. A few days ago, I saw the Da Yong navy army and learned that Hou Jiangzhe of Chu Township was in the navy. After passing the news back, General Long ordered the navy to go out. It would be good to be able to break the navy in one fell swoop and cut off the Yongjun’s food path, but it just couldn’t If I took the opportunity to slay Jiangzhe, it would be a great achievement. For this matter, I did not hesitate to personally take action and assassinate the generals who came to help. Unfortunately, the Da Yongshui Army was strong after all, and the result was just unsatisfactory. Duan Mouben I wanted to leave immediately, but saw the girl disembark. Thinking of the girl’s identity and status, I must know a lot of secrets, so I ventured to stop it. If the girl is willing to tell all the secrets in her heart, Duan can not take the girl’s life, otherwise Su The girl’s best hope is to die on the spot. If Duan is captured alive, I’m afraid that all kinds of torture will make the girl regret it."
An indifferent look flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and said: "Su Qing has already put life and death out of the picture. Your Excellency threatens Su Qing so much, but it's useless." After that, he retreated coldly, and the cavalry guarding her The horse has also been around behind her, faintly protecting her. Speaking of this, Duan Lingxiao and Su Qing both knew that they had done it all, and then they could only speak with force.
Duan Lingxiao sighed lightly and said: "It's a pity that Miss Su is such a talented person, but she is a minister of Yongzhi." With his regretful voice, there seemed to be a sudden increase in murderous air between the world and the earth, and everyone knew that he was about to shoot. , Could not help raising his vigilance, but Duan Lingxiao did not act, but endless murderous aura gushing out from behind him, forcing the cavalrymen to have two thoughts of fighting desperately and surrendering their weapons, but these cavalrymen are all experienced. Although most of the fighting warriors were not masters of the inner family, they all learned the skills of competing momentum from the battlefield, and they also let out the murderous intent in their hearts wantonly. Suddenly, the momentum of both sides was evenly matched.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Duan Lingxiao’s eyes. Dayong has such elite soldiers. No wonder they can dominate the world. In comparison, although the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty are brave and fierce, most of their personal strength is higher than that of Dayong warriors, but if they form an army formation , But it is inevitable to be inferior. However, he is an innate master, but in a flash, he has completely eliminated all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and even the murderous intent has disappeared without a trace. Those Da Yong cavalry were trying their best to support the murderous aura like ocean tide, but suddenly the murderous aura disappeared. Those cavalry immediately lost their opponents, and they all felt heartbroken. Several of the weaker cavalry had already looked down on their faces. Pale, there was one more person, a mouthful of blood had splashed on the saddle. At the moment when they turned from the strongest to the weakest, Duan Lingxiao had already shot.
Su Qing only felt that there was a flower in front of her eyes. Duan Lingxiao’s palm had already slapped her face. She turned over and backed away. The cold light flashed. She drew back her sword and slapped her swords, but the sound was like a stone. Feeling that the tiger’s mouth was numb, and the sword was almost released. She took a deep breath and took advantage of her strength to retreat. Duan Lingxiao was like a shadow. The two fought together. The blue and gray figures were entangled in the sword light and snow shadow, making the cavalry unable to help. They could only spread out to surround the two, everyone took out their crossbow arrows, ready to shoot Duan Lingxiao in due course.
Su Qing tried his best. The sword waves were higher than the waves, but Duan Lingxiao was like a giant reef in the sea. Despite the wind and rain, Su Qing did not bow his head. When Su Qing encountered such a strong player, he felt that his swordsmanship had never Even if he played with Qiu Yufei last time, I didn’t feel that way. Because of Qiu Yufei’s martial arts and dexterity, Su Qing’s speed and body skills were not as good as him. When he was overwhelmed, he could still use his sword skills as much as he could. It was Duan Lingxiao's martial arts majestic and indomitable, which allowed Su Qing to give full play to his strengths, so that the shadow of the sword turned into a huge wave, revealing countless murderous intent in the magnificence. Duan Lingxiao's martial arts far surpassed Su Qing. Although she could not take her life for a while, she was able to do her best. Seeing Su Qing's swordsmanship posture, a strange light flashed in her eyes. With a clank, Duan Lingxiao slipped a sharp short knife from his sleeve, and the sound of countless weapons crashing was deafening. Su Qing abruptly took on Su Qing's fierce attack, Duan Lingxiao's broken knife turned into a rainbow, and a knife was as fast as a knife, like water The dragon generally pierced through Su Qing's sword net.
Su Qing has tried his best. After the fierce attack, Duan Lingxiao pierced a trace of the flaws. She was strong in nature and could not let go of her right hand long sword and shot at Duan Lingxiao. A dagger in her left hand blocked the cutting edge of the knife with a sound. With a loud noise, her delicate body fell backward like a broken kite. Duan Lingxiao uttered a long roar and chased away. At this moment, the knights who swept the array shouted at the same time, the crossbow machines rang in unison, and more than twenty crossbow arrows with almost invisible shadows shot into the air. Duan Lingxiao, Duan Lingxiao sleeves Swinging, those crossbow arrows stopped as if they encountered an invisible wall, reflecting and falling. At this time, the second and third waves of crossbow arrows had already been shot, Duan Lingxiao's figure was spinning in the air like a windmill, and those crossbow arrows reflected back, two The knight was shot down by the reflected crossbow. But Duan Lingxiao’s action was also delayed for a moment~IndoMTL.com~ At this time, Ruyue had already flew past and pulled Su Qing to the horse. Su Qing spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and said loudly: "Go!" Ruyue led the horse to the road. Fleeing, the knights used their crossbows to block Duan Lingxiao from chasing, and they chased them with horses. A cold flash flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes. He grabbed the reins of the horse that Su Qing had thrown down, and rode a horse to chase him. Su Qing's mount was a horse that was chosen from a thousand miles, and Duan Lingxiao was a master of riding skills, and he had caught up with everyone within a moment.
Duan Lingxiao smiled coldly, volleyed out his palm, and shot down the horse at the back of the horse. When riding past his mount, he took off his saddle horse, and the horse flashed through thousands of phantoms, two The knight was stabbed down by him, but in a moment, he had already chased after the Ruyue horse who had fallen on the back half because he was carrying the two of them. Su Qing was lying on Ruyue's shoulder at this moment and seemed to have passed out in a coma.
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and he pierced Su Qing's vest. At this moment, Su Qing suddenly fell to the side, Ru Yue leaned down, Su Qing showed a crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow machine made a light sound. , Three crossbow arrows were shot at Duan Lingxiao at the same time. At this moment, the distance between them was only two feet. Ma Jian was a long weapon and could not stop the crossbow arrows. Fortunately, Duan Lingxiao had great riding skills. His body seemed to be suddenly broken. Passing by the door of his face, there was a stern horse hiss, Duan Lingxiao only felt that his body was soft, the horse galloped more than ten meters away, and fell to the ground. Duan Lingxiao flew up and fell to the ground while Ma Li got away. Then, a black light flashed in the air that looked like a lightning bolt, and it shot towards Su Qing who had already gotten up from the horse. Su Qing had already exhausted all her strength to complete the action of archery on her back. She sat up, just when her hands and feet were weak and weak. Seeing Ma Jian shot, she was no longer able to dodge, pale as snow. A chilling smile appeared on her face, and she quietly waited for the moment Ma Li pierced her chest.
