Chapter 2: Escape
()
The autumn wind whimpered, blowing the fallen leaves all over the ground, and rolling into the distance with endless bleakness. The dark clouds seemed to be pressing on the ground. The air was so dull that it seemed to explode. The endless refugees dragged their children and daughters to rush towards Dingzhou, the largest city on the border of Great Chu. The meadow was defeated, and 30,000 Great Chu border troops collapsed. Dingyuan, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Fuyuan fortresses outside Dingzhou were all lost within a few days. Hundreds of thousands of Great Chu people were directly thrown to the barbarians. The barbarians' crazy burning, killing and looting turned countless villages into ruins, and corpses were everywhere. The countless Dingkou was captured. The black smoke from burning the village covered the sky and the sun was covered with sorrow and mist outside Dingzhou.
At this time, Li Qingzheng, who was still far away from Dingzhou City, sat cross-legged on the hillside. His escape for a few days exhausted him and made him understand many things. Looking at the crowds of people fleeing at the foot of the mountain, seeing defeated soldiers or roaring by horses from time to time, everyone had only one goal, that is Dingzhou City, where there was a solid city wall and tens of thousands of troops, which could protect their safety.
Looking up at the sky, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I came to this era for no reason and possessed by this guy named Li Qing. I don't know if I have any debts from my previous life and need to pay them back in this life. I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad. It's great to be able to live, but I really don't know how long I can live in this world.
For several days, I have been constantly fusing the memory of this body and carrying the original inheritance of this body. Li Qing's body is really great, much stronger than himself in his previous life. The eight distinct muscles on his chest and abdomen alone are impossible for the guy who dreamed of having in his previous life but was too lazy to train. Moreover, this guy's life experience is quite interesting. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth opened again, and the wound on his legs began to hurt again. Fuck, I don't know if I would get rabies, and I cursed in my heart.
"Captain, let's go!" A bearded man behind him buzzed in a buzzing voice. At this time, dozens of defeated soldiers were followed behind Li Qing. These people were gathered around Li Qing's escape. None of these people were good at robbing Li Qing's weapons and surrendering after Li Qing was defeated by Li Qing, and some encountered them when Li Qing organized an ambush and shot down the single barbarian. In short, they were all fierce guys who showed their fierceness and dared to kill and chop.
"Let's go!" Li Qing stood up, and the barbarian army was wandering outside. Although he met a few lonely barbarians a few days ago, his group of people rushed forward and killed happily, but as long as he met a large group of people, it would definitely be a meat bun to beat a dog, and he would not even be able to stir up a splash when thrown inside. At this time, one step closer to Dingzhou, he would be more safe. After all, in Dingzhou, there were still 20,000 Great Chu border troops guarding him.
At this time, Li Qing no longer cared about what to think about. Living was his only purpose now. As for the rest, let's take a step by step. However, among the fleeing crowd, the hostile gazes of the refugees around him made him feel uncomfortable. The hatred in those angry eyes made Li Qing secretly worried. I don't know when these sanity refugees would rush up to tear themselves to pieces.
If it weren't for his spear and a sword hanging on his waist, Li Qing believed that these people would have destroyed him. In the past few days, even when he was sleeping, Li Qing would have to keep his eyes open. However, the insults that could not bear to be heard still came into his ears from time to time. Li Qing was speechless. He felt that there was a reason for these refugees to hate them, such soldiers, although he was a little innocent. In addition to paying taxes from the court, they also had to add border taxes from Dingzhou, which were used to support soldiers like him.
After taking other people's offerings, they naturally had to protect others' safety, but they did not do it. Thinking of this, Li Qing felt a little ashamed. Amid these insults, the captain of Yunhui Li Qing lowered his head and said nothing.
But the military men around Li Qing didn't think so. When they heard the unbearable curse, they all showed fierce faces and had ferocious faces. Li Zhengwei, they were too bullying! Wang Qinian, with a bearded face, bit his teeth, making a sound. It's not that I didn't fight desperately, but at least a few barbarians died under the knife, but what else can I do? The army collapsed, will I die in vain if I don't run away?
The thin cavalryman Jiang Kui looked at the tall and maroon horse that was only a hundred meters away from him. It was his mount. The day before yesterday, he was snatched away by a group of refugees. At that time, he was alone and almost beaten to death. If it weren't for his good martial arts skills, he would have died. Today, he actually saw his horse again, tied to a car by the refugees, as a horse.
Captain, I am a cavalry, and horses are my life. Such a good war horse was actually used by them as a horse. In a few days, the horse would be ruined.
More than a dozen soldiers gathered around Li Qing. Captain, you ordered me to do it. I am fed up with this anger. For a while, the crowd was in a turmoil. Although they were defeated soldiers, they had been on the battlefield and had seen blood. At this time, they gathered together and the momentum was rising. They all looked at Li Qing with anticipation. As long as Li Qing gave the order, they would take action. Although there were many refugees, they really wanted to fight with these soldiers who gathered together. When they saw blood, they were afraid that the refugees would scatter. At that time, they would be like tigers driving a flock of sheep.
A small defeated soldier quietly took out a short knife from his boot, put the blade on his forearm, stretched out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes shone fiercely, and he looked around the crowd, as if looking for a target to start. This guy was named Feng Guo, and he didn't know what he was doing, but looking at his way of holding the knife, he knew that he was a good killer.
The noise of these soldiers made the refugees gathered not far away alert. Seeing the group of defeated soldiers with fierce light in their eyes, the refugees couldn't help but become timid and retreated slowly involuntarily. In a moment, the originally noisy road actually quieted down.
Li Qing suddenly pulled out the battle knife, and the defeated soldiers couldn't help but look happy. Jiang Kui even raised his foot and wanted to run towards his war horse.
Stop talking! Li Qing shouted angrily, and in the shocked look of the defeated soldiers, Li Qing raised his sword and said: These people are cursing well. We eat food and serve as soldiers to protect them. We defeated them, let their wives and children be separated, and their families are destroyed. They have reason to hate us. Whoever dares to hurt these refugees, I will chop him up. Be honest with me.
Everyone was silent, and Jiang Kui took back his feet in frustration. They were all veterans. They were in the military camp for many years. The strict level of the army had been soaked in their blood. Although Li Qing was not in line with them, according to battlefield discipline, the defeated soldiers and scattered soldiers must accept the unified command of all officers he could meet with higher vocations than his military service, otherwise, beheading them. What's more, after getting along with Li Qing these days, everyone was impressed by his courage. They escaped all the way, and they actually killed dozens of lonely barbarians.
Li Qing inserted the sword back into the scabbard, but he was very grateful. Fortunately, these defeated soldiers still had a little bit of discipline and shame. Fortunately, he was still a captain, otherwise it would be difficult for him to end today. He was injured, but Wang Qinian and others were fine. Judging from their bodies, if they really wanted to fight alone, they might not be opponents.
Seeing the group of defeated soldiers silence again, curses around him rang out again. Looking at the changing expressions of the people around him, Li Qing was worried that he would not be able to control the scene and couldn't help but hate the refugees around him. Damn, you can bully a defeated soldier, but there are more than a dozen of them here, and they have all seen blood. If you really want to fight, you are worth it.
Let's go, the humiliation we have suffered here today will be brought back to the barbarians in the future. Li Qing walked towards Dingzhou with a spear, and more than a dozen defeated mutinies followed him in an attempt to make trouble.
At this time, Dingzhou was already martial law in the whole city, with the meadows defeated and 30,000 border troops destroyed, leaving the prosperous Dingzhou directly exposed to the barbarian army's troops. Dingzhou had not seen any war in decades. The originally prosperous city seemed dead, with residents closing their doors and shops closing. There was almost no population on the street except for the troops running by teams from time to time.
Ma Mingfeng, you bastard, Dingzhou camp, a roar spread from afar. Xiao Yuanshan, the leader of the Dingzhou army, was so angry that he was crazy. The two assisted six camps, plus four fortresses, and 30,000 soldiers were ruined. The gates of Dingzhou were opened. The strategic advantage over the barbarians that he had worked hard for many years was ruined. From today on, Dingzhou will be changed in offensive and defensive positions.
The Great Chu army system, one army and three associations, one association and three battalions, one battalion, three wings, one wing and three whistles, one whistle and three fruits. Dingzhou army improved its combat power very quickly under the five years of hard work of Xiao Yuanshan, but this battle was a must. Originally, the Sixth Battalion of the Left Association and the garrison of four military camps, 30,000 people advanced together, but the Left Association's side general Ma Mingfeng did not obey the order and led the headquarters out of the light army. It was too far away from Xiao Yuanshan's Zhonghe, and was captured by the barbarian great Shanyu and surrounded by the fighter jets.
In order to save him, he had to let the Zhonghui out, and then he was ambushed by the barbarians and lost a lot. This battle can be said to have lost a little capital he had worked hard for over the past five years. Xiao Yuanshan could not be angry. The general asked to calm down. General Ma was defeated and his whereabouts were unknown. The most urgent task was to ensure that Dingzhou was not lost so that others could be discussed. Xiao Yuanshan's chief aide Shen Mingchen was worried. Looking at Xiao Yuanshan who had escaped from his arms and armor, he advised him.
Ma Mingfeng, I'm going to cut you! Xiao Yuanshan gritted his teeth, drew his sword and chopped the case randomly. After several swords, he had already chopped the tiger case into pieces. Before he could get rid of his anger, he threw the sword out fiercely, wiped the head of a personal soldier who had just stepped into the gate and flew out, hitting his helmet so hard that he could fly to the corner.
The personal soldier was shocked and opened his mouth to look at Xiao Yuanshan, his lips opened and closed, but no sound was made.
What's going on? Xiao Yuanshan roared at the personal soldier.
