At this time, under the retreat of the cautious leader Ji Yuntian, the bandit army's Dayang was getting farther and farther away from the besieged Xinwang Zhao Zhen and Ma Yueying.
But in fact, success seems to be imminent. The letter king Zhao Zhen never fought an unsure battle, he always wins by resourcefulness. This time, it was no exception.
When Ji Yuntian felt that Xinwang Zhaozhen and Ma Yueying had stopped, he almost thought he had a chance to win. He thought that even if he was two masters of the'Grand Master', facing the defense line of more than 20 burly, powerful bandit guards and soldiers, he still had to treat it with caution. However, as long as they slowed down, he There will be plenty of time to reorganize the bandit groups that have been frightened or attacked by the special forces hidden in the dark. As long as they gather together and have a unified command, no matter how many enemies come, they can deal with it calmly.
In this way, those two masters fighting desperately here, all their efforts are in vain.
Ji Yuntian couldn't help feeling a little complacent about his wiseness, but he hadn't had time to issue an order to let the bandit army leaders who had been hidden by the order return to the front line to supervise the bandit fighters who were fleeing in all directions. , An unexpected situation appeared within his hearing range.
It is a keen sense of danger left over from the years of war.
He moved slightly in his heart and raised his head subconsciously. Although he lacks effective eyesight at night, he already feels ominous from the feedback of the sound.
At this moment, the letter king Zhao Zhen began to stuff gunpowder, stones and iron sand into a bamboo tube he was carrying, and only Ma Yueying and the few bandit fighters in the bandit army could see his movements and weapons.
And the goal of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is Ji Yuntian in front of him.
"They retreated." Miao Yufeng sat opposite Ji Qianqian with a bloody face, panting and looking at each other. On the contrary, Ji Qianqian's white face was only stained with a few drops of blood, and his black eyes still had the horror left by the previous battle, but at this moment he had forced himself to calm down.
The girl nodded to the words of the elder sister.
The gunpowder attack was not as effective as they thought. They thought it was a panacea, but in the end they found that the effect was extremely limited. Because the battle has already become fierce when using thunderbolts, command and tactics have become secondary factors. The bandit army almost simply succeeded, relying on the impact force surging up the wall to try to open a hole in their line of defense.
When the warriors formed by the swordsmen and the disciples who had discovered this, they almost missed the best time. If it hadn’t been for Hua Zhonglong to lead his own people to the top at the most critical moment, he would use his weak advantage to force him. If the opponent swept down the wall, the consequences would be disastrous.
The most violent wave of offensive was repelled, and the heavy-loss bandit army finally realized that the corpses were all over the floor. Their casualties were unbearable, so they retreated, but the previous danger made everyone There are lingering palpitations.
The battlefield was deserted, and only the swordsmen and disciples of the Jianghu swordsman and the disciples lay heavy breathing behind the wooden wall and the corpses all over the battlefield. No one counts the casualties, because it is unnecessary for the time being, and everyone understands that if no miracle happens before the next attack, there is little hope.
"They will come up again," Hua Zhonglong sat on the other side, her whole body aching. However, he looked up at the moon in the sky and said calmly: "They also suffered heavy losses. It is estimated that the next attack will be before early morning at the latest. This depends on the arrival time of the second band of bandits."
"What do we do?" Shan Hongfei asked. Everyone fell silent.
Even the most determined Ji Qianqian, after experiencing the scene between life and death, dare not say that he is ten percent sure. She just wondered for the first time whether she would really die here if Xin Wang Qiansui did not come again.
But after another thought, if it weren't for the faithful kings Zhao Zhen and Luo Yue'er, she would have died in the chaos. Thinking about this, Ji Qianqian calmed down again. Anyway, his life is Luo Yue'er and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, the big deal will be returned to them. It’s worth dying for them.
In fact, she didn't even think about whether she died for Luo Yueer or because of the "him".
"People in the rivers and lakes act, they are swaying and smiling. To put it bluntly, they are just doing whatever they want, doing everything, and obeying the destiny," Hua Zhonglong grinned and said with a smile: "We have seen a lot of life and death. As for them, we will meet them later. When we attack again, we will open the door and break through separately. As for whether we live or die, it depends on whether God is willing to take care of all of us present."
Shan Hongfei was startled slightly, but he smiled bitterly, self-deprecatingly on his face. He shook his head and turned around, looking at Ji Qianqian and said: "In this way, Miss Ji Qianqian, we have an explanation for your letter to Wang Qiansui, right?"
Ji Qianqian was taken aback, nodded and could only say: "Thank you."
"No need to thank you." Miao Yufeng interrupted him and said: "We are only willing to believe that guy once. But rest assured, even if he doesn't come, I won't leave you two behind."
Luo Yueer sat opposite, with his hands on his knees, his eyes widened, and said seriously: "Thank you, you are such a good person."
But she smiled slightly, and then continued: "But Believe King Zhao Zhen will definitely come. He never speaks big words. If he says he can do it, then he can do it."
"You believe him very much, little girl." Miao Yufeng noticed this girl named Luo Yueer for the first time, and she appeared very innocent, cute and characterful.
"Actually." Ji Qianqian said hesitantly: "I am also willing to believe the words of Wang Qiansui."
"It seems that our Wang Qiansui is so charming that he can fascinate two beautiful young ladies." A smile appeared on Hua Zhonglong's dark face, and said, jokingly: "If I have this ability, It's dead and no regrets."
After hearing what he said, Shan Hongfei snorted disdainfully. This long-haired, handsome middle-aged man has always claimed to be a romantic in the world of martial arts. I can’t help thinking that if this guy who doesn’t understand styles has this situation, then all the men in the world can go and kill him. .
Ji Qianqian lowered her head slightly, responding to such vulgar ridicule with the peculiar shyness of Miss Qian Jin. It was Luo Yueer who raised his pair of small eyebrows, blushing, and waved his hands vigorously: "Wrong, wrong, I didn't believe in Wang Zhaozhen for this reason."
"What's the reason for that?" Miao Yufeng couldn't help asking strangely.
This time, even Ji Qianqian joined the audience quietly, although he followed Wang Zhaozhen earlier. But this Ji Qianqian understood that long before he met the letter king Zhao Zhen, this Luo Yueer and more others had had many stories with the young letter king Qiansui.
She once inquired about the past stories of the letter king Zhao Zhen, Luo Yueer and others, although Luo Yueer only knew the letter king Zhao Zhen a few days better than she at most.
Although she didn't find out anything, this Ji Qianqian felt that there must be more stories with a woman's keen intuition. But just like the life experiences of Luo Yue'er and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, those guards are tight-lipped, and for her, many things are a mystery that cannot be solved.
She only knows that there are several other important women in the group of Xin Wang Jun. From the mouth of Xinwang Zhao Zhen, she knew that the girl was called Zhugeying, either a female general or a high official, and she was far away from their group at the moment. There is also the wife of the believer Zhao Zhen's original wife, and the female general Zhao Qing'er who leads the 100,000 army. As for who else, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen never said, and she didn't know where to ask.
"You don't understand." Luo Yueer's mouth unconsciously showed a small smug and mysterious smile. Her eyes were shining, with a magical brilliance.
Luo Yueer confidently said: "When King of Letter Zhao Zhen took me to escape from the Death Inn, I saw King of Letter Zhao Zhen's eyes, and I knew King of Letter Zhao Zhen was a real man, and he was omnipotent."
"Because my mother used to tell me when she was alive that a real man is willing to take responsibility for his promise. Therefore, Luo Yueer must find a man who is willing to protect him." Luo Yueer rubbed his hands and slowed down. Tun Tun answered.
"Because of this?" Miao Yufeng was a little strange.
Hua Zhonglong didn't say a word, but just matched the young Xinwang's actions with one of them. Only Shan Hongfei hissed disdainfully: "In all the places I've been to, I haven't seen any gentry, including the royal family, who can be called a man. In fact, one of those guys can produce , I'm going to give a thumbs up."
Her words gained a lot of approval from the soldiers around, but Ji Qianqian did not refute it. He just silently remembered the words about Zhugeying, Princess Xin and Zhao Qinger mentioned by Luo Yueer.
At this moment, she raised her head and was about to say something, but at this moment, a soldier hurried over from the wooden wall on the other side interrupted the conversation of several people, especially what Ji Qianqian was about to say.
The visitor brought bad news. The soldier said, "Several leaders, the bandit army seems to be moving in the forest. Our scout said that the bandit army seems to be ready to attack again."
Everyone was taken aback, the enemy is about to attack so soon? The previous harmonious atmosphere disappeared without a trace. The noisy scene at that time was the silence. The swordsmen of the rivers and lakes and the disciple fighters looked at each other, and a layer of dark cloud silently shrouded everyone present.
Ji Qianqian once told them to wait for the news of the victory from the young Xinwang, but at this moment, the dark clouds seemed to cover the moonlight, and there was no trace of change or hope in the darkness.
At this moment, even Ji Qianqian herself felt a touch of suffocation.
But in the valley, the changes on the battlefield were beyond the expectations of all bandits.
The bamboo-tube blasting bomb specially made by the letter king Zhao Zhen himself, with great power, was thrown out by the letter king Zhao Zhen. "Boom!" With a sound, monolithic shots made the earth tremble. Under the fierce roar, large numbers of bandit soldiers and the tall and strong elite fighters of bandit army were blown up or turned into meat sauce and stumped arms.
The letter king Zhao Zhen and the enemies around Ma Yueying dodged firearms in chaos. Ma Yueying made a light leap, and Ma Yueying had already leapt out for the first time over the enemies scurrying on the battlefield. He lightly landed beside Ji Yuntian, and at the same time turned his head, the black-brown pupils reflected that the bandit soldiers who had reacted from the violent explosion were turning around on the battlefield and rushing in this direction.
The letter king Zhao Zhen stopped the bandit army that rushed in front, and the bandits who dared to approach were all stabled quickly by his sword, and they were all chopped to the ground.
Ma Yueying frowned, feeling instinctively that time was pressed. She immediately put the halberd in her hand back, and with a soft click, she placed it on the neck of the bandit leader Ji Yuntian who was lying on the ground and scared by the huge firecracker.
"Let them surrender." Ma Yueying shouted sharply. "I... died," Ji Yuntian replied in stammering northern Shaanxi: "You also... can't survive."
This guy’s cunning was beyond the Maiden’s expectation. After a moment, she snorted coldly, and pretended to say calmly: "Be less wise, don’t forget, we have firearms, we have firearms, and we have firearms around us. Don’t you have any of them? We just don’t want to kill you all." He pressed the blade of the gun tighter, and said, "Give you another chance to survive, and let them stop."
Ji Yuntian hesitated in his heart. Of course he was afraid of death, but things were obviously not that simple, so he decided to take a gamble and said, "If this is the case, then kill me!"
"Don't think that I dare not kill you!" Ma Yueying was faintly angry and couldn't help kicking him over. This kick was so heavy that he almost rolled him on the ground several times.
But this foot actually satisfies Ji Yuntian's guess. He is not afraid. On the contrary, he patted the dust on his body and got up and said in a leisurely manner: "I think... you can run away, but your companions who stayed in the forest... Facing my army, I am afraid it may not be safe?"
"You--!" Ma Yueying suffocated. He didn't expect this shrewd bandit army leader to guess what they thought when he spoke, but of course she couldn't admit it, and she couldn't help it for a while.
"You are the horse bandits of Jingzhao Mansion on the original Yongxin Army Road. I remember that your name is Ji Yuntian, from a horse dealer." These words indicate that this person is very familiar with himself, and Ji Yuntian suddenly realized something of his own The advantage disappeared, as if a faint sense of superiority was evacuated from his body. Knowing the details by the other party, it is impossible to bluff the other party. And the other party can know everything about himself, it means that the other party must be very powerful, I'm afraid the other party
Finding trouble for yourself is not just for the silver mines, forest farms, quarries and other mines that you occupy. He had to re-examine these two. For the first time, the official minion master, whom he had always looked down upon, felt that the other party made him feel mysterious. But where did the other party come from? Why did you mention your origin? What do they have to do with Mo Commander
But since he led the troops out of the north, it has nothing to do with the original origin. In this world, even the change of the court is very common, and it is not impossible even to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Jin. He couldn't think of what was necessary for the other party, chasing after himself, tracing his own details.
The more Ji Yuntian thought about it, the more he met Zhao Zhen's expectations.
In fact, it is easier to trust Wang Zhaozhen with this information about Ji Yuntian, and it can be learned from the secret intelligence department of Xin Wang Jun. The other party's hometown is in the heartland of Wang Jun's governance, and these news can be easily obtained. There are even a lot of people who know Ji Yuntian in the army of the letter king who served for the commander-in-chief mansion of the king army of the letter king, and those who worked for the king of letter king Zhao Zhen.
The letter king Zhao Zhen just wanted to frighten him from the beginning, lest the bandit leader became arrogant and forgetful.
After hitting the opponent's arrogance, he said solemnly: "As far as I know, bandits are not very popular on Jinghu Lake Road, and sooner or later they will be cleared by the government."
"I don't... want to intervene, the officers and soldiers, the Great Sage King Yang Yao and those Mingjiao rebels." Ji Yuntian had to lower his sigh.
He didn't lie, although Ji Yuntian did have ambitious plans in the beginning. The weakness of the officers and soldiers gave him an opportunity to take advantage. The leader of the bandit army once wanted to build a foothold in this forest and expand to the entire territory controlled by Commander Mo. But then, the news that slowly infiltrated from outside the forest made him dispel this idea.
After gradually understanding the more chaotic world outside the forest, he finally learned that hundreds of thousands of Mingjiao troops had been defeated by officers and soldiers, and even the leader had died. Subsequently, Yang Yao led the army to continue to resist the imperial army. The battle of hundreds of thousands of troops was beyond his imagination.
It was even just the weak officer outside, the guy called Commander Mo. The army under his rule is close to ten thousand, and even so, he is just an unknown little commander.
The terrible battle outside the forest made Ji Yuntian sober, and immediately dispelled his original thoughts. Otherwise, with his character of looting countless numbers in the northwest, he would definitely not accept the offer to trade with Mo commander.
"Really?" The letter king Zhao Zhen didn't accept his feelings, and said: "But it seems that your words and deeds are inconsistent with the leader. The forest you occupy is the sacred and indivisible territory of the Song Dynasty since ancient times."
He said this in a very habitual tone, but immediately realized that there was something wrong with his words, and now he can't say that he is a believer. He changed his words again: "No, to put it another way, the minerals here are part of all my property, and I don't intend to lend him to you for a quarter of an hour."
"Your property?" Ji Yuntian was taken aback. He had seen Mo commander or two, and he didn't think that this young man was the legendary Master Zhang Jun.
At this moment, the peripheral fighting has ceased, and dozens of well-equipped and powerful fighters from the King’s Special Forces have contained a large number of bandits. And the Bandit Army, under the command of the leader loyal to Ji Yuntian, began to abandon the offensive and shrink the formation.
