〖Wuyin, the first year of Longsheng, on the ninth day of March, the Dayong Zezhou water camp and the Northern Han Dynasty Qinzhou water camp fought in Qinshui. .
— "Zizhi Tongjian·Yongji III"〗
Bored looking up at the sky full of arrows, I stood calmly on top of the building boat, because the river in this area is not particularly wide, and Xiao Shunzi was enough to take me ashore to escape in a crisis, so I also showed The calm and fearless appearance, if it is really dangerous, I am afraid that I would have asked Xiao Shunzi to take me away. Looking at the chaotic river in front of me, I was a little tired from standing. I really wanted a chair to sit down, but in consideration of boosting morale, I had to stand up straight. It has been nearly an hour of fighting. There should be Yong Jun coming to support nearby, but I looked up and looked around, but there was no one. I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that the Northern Han army has come out to challenge? Now that the Ji clan is unstable, how can they will fight at this time.
As I kept thinking in my mind, Su Qing said coldly behind me: "Sir, you will think carefully about it, this navy should have been newly built early last year, and the general who commanded the navy was the confidant of the Northern Han Dynasty. General Jisheng, the last general got information that he established a new army in the upper reaches of Qinshui, but Jisheng has always been at odds with Long Tingfei. The information obtained by the last general is that he asked for an order to train the new army to fight against Long Tingfei. Therefore, the last general did not pay special attention to it. Now I think that they should use the lake at the source of Qinshui to train the navy. Because of the protection of the magician masters, the scouts we sent in the past could not penetrate the defense line there, and the last general was ordered to be in Qinshui at that time. The state presides over the overall situation, and if there is such an omission, please forgive me."
I waved my hand and said: "This is the end of the matter, it is useless to say more, but that Jisheng should not be good at the navy, how could he become the commander of the navy."
Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "The last commander looked at the warships of the Northern Han navy, it should be the Nanchu standard squat, presumably with the help of the Nanchu navy generals. Although Ji Sheng is also a cavalry general, he was born in He is a fisherman from Qinshui, at least he is more suitable than other generals."
I pointed at the young general who just shot me three arrows. At this moment, he has brought several ships to try to break through the block and deal with the heavy ships. Seeing him brave and skilled in battle, I couldn't help but be moved. Su Qing glanced at him, a flash of cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "This person is the clan of the Northern Han royal family, Liu Dai, the fourth son of the King of Jinjun, and most of the sons of the King of Jinjun are not good enough, only this succubus is talented in both civil and military affairs. , originally intended to be established as the prince, but the princess of the county was born in a famous family in the Northern Han Dynasty, so she naturally refused to let the prince get rid of her position, and repeatedly embarrassed Liu Dai, so the prince of Jin was forced to send Liu Dai to the army as a general. Unexpectedly This person has actually become a navy general."
I exclaimed: "The royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty has indeed produced many talents. This Liu Dai was probably also a cavalry general at first. He will not learn water warfare for too long. Although there are still some shortcomings, it is already extremely rare. If he can capture this person alive, then This battle is a small setback for us, and it is worth it." I watched him attack several times, but he failed to rush past the blockade of my navy, and went to attack the baggage ship behind. Said: "Can you let him go, and then put a small half load on him and capture him, this person is a relative of the Northern Han Dynasty, and a rookie in the navy, if he can capture and kill this person, the Northern Han navy will definitely have morale. If you are frustrated, then Qinshui will be the world of our army."
Zhuang Ru was embarrassed and said: "If the luggage is lost, I'm afraid His Royal Highness King Qi will blame it."
I smiled and said, "As long as I kill this person, I will do it all."
Zhuang Ru showed a relieved look on his face and waved the flag in his hand. After a while, Liu Dai successfully broke through the defense line of Dayong's army. He was pleasantly surprised and led the army to charge. The river was full of fireworks, and several cargo ships were set on fire. I knew his intentions. He wanted to burn those cargo ships, which would severely damage the morale of our army. Moreover, after he had burned all the cargo ships, he could attack back and forth and break through the ships of the Dayong Shui Army. . He rushed to kill smoothly, and led many Northern Han army warships to pass through the gap. Those warships had gradually fallen into the Yong army's fleet, but now they saw the opportunity and they all rushed back. The killing went well, but most of the Northern Han navy didn't notice. In addition to most of the heavy-lift ships, they retreated, and there were more than a dozen heavy-lift ships that avoided both sides when Zhuang Ru ordered to let go of the defense line, and faintly commanded Liu Dai. The warships brought were surrounded. With murderous intent on Zhuang Ru's face, with an order, these heavy boats rushed towards the midstream as if out of control. The navy on board ignited the heavy grain and grass, and they jumped into the water to escape. More than a dozen fireboats trapped Liu Dai and others.
When the young general saw it, his expression was pale. He was going downstream. He knew that he could not turn the rudder to turn back immediately, so he had to order to continue to charge forward. , has been blocked on the water, and Liu Dai's warship just hit it after rushing through the fireworks. Yong Jun and the navy on those baggage ships all released rockets, and those baggage ships were also raging into the sky, trapping Liu Dai's dozen or so warships in the sea of fire.
At this time, Ji Sheng, the commander of the Northern Han Navy, saw the fire raging behind the Yong army, and his sight was blocked by the fireworks. He was still happy that Liu Dai had burned the enemy's baggage. Who knew that a shrill horn sounded from behind not long after, Ji Sheng Yi Hearing that, I felt cold in my heart. It was obvious that Liu Dai was already in a desperate situation. Although he wanted to rescue him, he saw the Yong army's warships swarming in all directions. The army managed to disappear from Yong Jun's sight after a short while.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Zhuang Ru hurriedly ordered the battlefield to be cleaned and captured and captured. Almost all the remaining Northern Han troops were killed in battle. Their bravery made Yong Jun also admire them. Only Liu Dai, who fought to the end, was finally killed by a few waters. The good Yongjun water ghost was overturned in the water and captured alive. In this battle, the Yong army lost 18 cargo ships and 19 warships, while the Northern Han army lost 7 squatters and 12 fighting ships. Although the Yong army was still defeated by comparison, the navy was up and down. But it was all laughter. This time, the Beihan navy was repelled without warning. With the preparations, the Yong army can fight for the hegemony of Qinshui. They have enough means to prevent the Beihan navy from going south. As for the fact that they are unable to win, there is no such thing as Let them worry, after all, the main purpose of Zezhou navy is to transport baggage, not to fight against Beihan navy. And Zhuang Ru and the others knew that the fact of capturing Liu Dai alive was enough to make the newly built Beihan Navy lose confidence, so they were even more elated. As for the lost baggage, they wouldn't take it to heart. Can bear it.
I happily paid 100 taels of gold and let the few sailors who captured Liu Dai distribute it themselves, so that Liu Dai, who was dazed by the river water, was locked in the bilge. Then I went back to the cabin and wrote a letter to His Royal Highness King Qi with a bitter face, explaining to him the situation of the loss of baggage. Although I said that I agreed with Zhuang Ru to sacrifice some baggage, the eighteen ships were a bit too outrageous, but I thought of it. Liu Dai, who has rare goods in his hand, still smiled proudly.
At this time, Huyanshou walked in and said solemnly, "Sir, the reinforcements have arrived."
While writing quickly, I asked, "What's the matter? I remember that there should be at least a thousand cavalry nearby. They can't fight with water, but the Qinshui River is not wide, so they can use bows and crossbows on the shore to shoot those Northern Han soldiers. The navy, why did you come so late, did you not see our signal for help?"
Huyanshou said angrily: "The subordinates have already asked the generals of the army, and there are only a few small cavalry soldiers in the vicinity of a hundred people. After they saw the signal for help, they came to the rescue one after another. Who knows that some people have the means to supernaturally kill them in succession. The generals of most of the cavalry, these cavalrymen were forced to go after the assassins, and it is chaos now."
I shook my hand, and a drop of ink fell on the white paper. I looked at the letter that was stained with ink, sighed, and threw the unfinished letter into the stove in the corner of the cabin. With an expression, he stood up and said, "Did you do it alone?"
Huyanshou said sadly: "Yes, from the point of view of the assassination method, it should be one person, and our army has been clear for many days, so it is impossible for too many assassin spies to stay in this area."
I fell into deep thought, looked up at Xiao Shunzi and said, "Do you have such means?"
Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "That person's martial arts are not weaker than mine."
I sneered and said, "How many people in the Northern Han Dynasty have martial arts skills that can be compared to yours?"
Xiao Shunzi said without thinking: "It should be Duan Lingxiao personally, Jing Wuji will not take action."
I thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Xiao Shunzi, do you think Duan Lingxiao will continue to stay in this area? If he wants to assassinate me or King Qi, it shouldn't be easy, but if he assassinates those low-level generals, it will be a piece of cake."
Xiao Shunzi said coldly, "If Duan Lingxiao stayed here, he would only be among the refugees or hiding in the wild. Your son might as well immediately order the cavalry in charge of clearing the field to form a team of five hundred people, echoing each other, and making the most of the Northern Han people they saw. They were all slaughtered, so that Duan Lingxiao could not hide, even if Duan Lingxiao wanted to assassinate, it would be difficult to approach our army easily. If he did it reluctantly, then five hundred cavalry could hold him to death. No matter how high Duan Lingxiao's martial arts are, it will be difficult to escape."
I thought about it carefully and said, "The matter is urgent, and I can't report to His Highness King Qi that he knows. Huyanshou, pass my order to make our army clear the fields ahead of time, and send someone to report to His Highness King Qi that he knows about it."
I quickly wrote more than a dozen military orders, stamped with the seal of my supervisor, and then passed it on. Although I am a supervisor, I cannot directly mobilize the army, but this situation is rather special. I just ask for action in advance. The big seal of the supervisor should be easy to use. And I'm also thinking about those middle and low-level generals. If they don't cherish their own lives, then I can't care about them. Of course, I still wrote a letter to notify King Qi. In order to deliver it safely, I asked Su Qing to deliver it in person. Although she is not Duan Lingxiao's opponent, I can't let Xiao Shunzi deliver the letter. After all, my 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 the military situation to King Qi, so she rushed and did not dare to stop for a moment. , the nearby troops have already received Jiang Zhe's order to clear the field in advance. Fortunately, most of the civilians of the Northern Han have fled to the Ji family, so along the way, I did not see too many massacre scenes, not to mention Su Qing's heart is as hard as iron, just watching To that tragic scene is just a glimpse. She left in a hurry. Apart from her trusted maid Ruyue, she only brought the cavalry sent to him by Jiang Zhe. The assassin who killed General Yong Jun should not have been captured, so Su Qing was careful along the way and did not dare to main idea.
Suddenly, Su Qing glanced at the resting pavilion on the road ahead, and a man in gray stood with his hands behind his back. Su Qing's eyes were so sharp, at a glance, he could clearly see the man's appearance, only to see him in his thirties. Many years old, his body is as tall as a pine tree, his face is upright and upright, and his eyes are deep, as deep as the night sky, which makes people feel unpredictable.
Su Qing restrained his horses to live. These war horses were well trained. As soon as Su Qing stopped the horses, the war horses behind them also stopped in time. The cavalry team that was running wildly stopped. Those cavalrymen also knew about the assassination. The murderous intent was born, and the murderous intent of more than 20 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 sophistication of this cavalry. He slowly stepped forward and said lightly, "Is the girl Su Qing, the general post of Dayong Barracks?" He felt that he had already decided so in his heart, and he asked this question just to confirm.
Su Qing said coldly: "It turns out that Duan Lingxiao, the first disciple of the Demon Sect, came in person. Could it be that Master Duan doesn't know that Tang Arm can be used as a chariot
Duan Lingxiao smiled and said: "The girl is right, although Duan's martial arts is strong, he can't match a thousand troops, but some things are better than not done well. Not long ago, the girl made a decision to kill on the shore of Qinshui. , Duan Mou admires very much. Duan Mou's junior brother Xiao Tong once described the girl's great achievements to the following in detail. Duan Mou couldn't help but want to meet you, the hero of the women's middle school. Today Dao Zuo met, fortunately, the girl didn't dismount, let's talk How about a moment?"
A warm light flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and he said, "Su Qing is deeply honored to be able to talk to your Excellency." After saying that, he got off his horse and walked towards the resting pavilion. Her maid Ruyue said loudly: "Miss, he is going to kill you, how can you talk to him."
Su Qing said with a smile: "What kind of identity is Duan Lingxiao? How could the future Sect Master of the Demon Sect go back on his word? Since they invited Su Qing to talk, if they were to be executed without being told, wouldn't it be laughing at the world."
Duan Lingxiao's eyes flashed with admiration, he naturally disdain to care about Ruyue, just gave her a cold look, and said to Su Qing: "Mr. Su is not allowed to be a man, no wonder Junior Brother Xiao regards the girl as a great enemy in his life, I am Junior Brother Qiu. I also admire the girl very much. Today, when I see you, it is better to be famous than to meet. Miss Su, you are originally from the Northern Han Dynasty.
Su Qing smiled proudly and said, "Your Excellency thinks that you can take Su Qing's life today, so you feel a pity and a pity? The Northern Han did not treat me, Su Qing, just to avenge the bitterness. Dayong owns the Central Plains, Northern Han and Southern Chu are just lingering. Even though the Northern Han Demon Sect has countless heroes and the general situation is like this, what can they do? If your Excellency is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you will definitely be above Su Qing, why should you hold on to the defect and even die? The country is destroyed."
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and said: "Forget it, I also know that Miss Su will not turn back, but I can't bear it in my heart. The girl knows why Yong Jun wants to drive out and slaughter civilians this time. If the girl is willing to tell the truth, Duan may not kill him. The life of the girl's subordinates."
Su Qing smiled slightly, although he knew that Duan Lingxiao said that he was going to kill him, but he didn't take it to heart, and said, "Su Qing is just a scout commander, how do you know about this kind of military affairs, Your Excellency asked Yu Bing. "
Duan Lingxiao said coldly, "Is that so? Does Miss Su know why I started killing all of a sudden?"
Su Qing thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Of course, these cavalry will not be allowed to rescue the navy. Presumably, Uncle Duan hopes that my navy will be defeated."
Duan Lingxiao said lightly: "You are right, since the Yong army entered Qinzhou, I have come to investigate the military situation. This time the Yong army invaded, the momentum was huge, and the battle of life and death was here, and Duan had to go out in person. A few days ago, I saw the Dayong Marines and learned that the Hou Jiangzhe of Chu Township was in the Marines. After sending the news back, General Long ordered the Marines to fight. It is natural to be able to defeat the Marines and cut off the Yongjun's food supply, but it is not possible. Killing Jiang Zhe in an array is also a great achievement. For this purpose, I did not hesitate to sacrifice my honor to personally take action and assassinate the generals who came to help. Unfortunately, after all, the Dayong Shui army was stronger, but the result was only unsatisfactory. Duan wanted to leave immediately. I went, but I saw the girl disembark. Thinking of the girl's status, she must know a lot of secrets, so she took the risk to intercept it. If the girl is willing to tell all the secrets in her heart, Duan may not take the girl's life, otherwise it would be better for Su girl. I hope to die on the spot, if Duan is captured alive, I am afraid that all kinds of torture will make the girl regret it."
A look of indifference flashed across Su Qing's eyes, and she said, "Su Qing has already put her life and death aside. Your Excellency's threat to Su Qing is of no use." After speaking, she stepped back coldly, and the cavalrymen who were guarding her had already let go. The horses surrounded her behind her, protecting her faintly. Having said that, Duan Lingxiao and Su Qing knew that they had already said all of this, and they could only speak by force.
Duan Lingxiao sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that Miss Su is so talented, but she is the minister of Dayong." With his regretful voice, the world seemed to suddenly have a chilling air, and everyone knew that he was about to make a move, so they couldn't help but mention He was on guard, but Duan Lingxiao didn't act at all. He just poured out endless murderous aura from behind him, forcing those cavalrymen to think of fighting to the death and surrendering their weapons, but these cavalrymen were all battle-hardened warriors. , Although most of them are not masters of the inner family, they have also learned the skills to compete with momentum from the battlefield, and they have also released the murderous intention in their hearts. For a while, the momentum of the two sides is evenly matched.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, Dayong has such elite soldiers, no wonder he can dominate the world. In comparison, although the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty are brave and fierce, most of their personal combat strength is higher than that of Dayong's warriors, but if they form an army, they will inevitably To be inferior. However, he is a congenital expert, but in an instant, all the distracting thoughts in his heart have been eliminated, and even the murderous intention has disappeared without a trace. Those Dayong cavalrymen were trying their best to support the murderous aura like a tide, but suddenly the murderous aura disappeared. Those cavalrymen lost their opponents and felt a shock in their hearts. There were a few weaker cavalrymen who were already pale. 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 a flash in front of her. Duan Lingxiao's palm had already slapped on her face. She turned around and stepped back to avoid it. With a flash of cold light, she returned with a sword. Ma, the long sword almost let go, she took a deep breath, and took advantage of her strength to step back, Duan Lingxiao followed him like a shadow, the two fought together, the sword light and the snow shadow were intertwined with blue and gray figures, making the cavalry unable to help each other, they could only disperse. Kai surrounded the two of them, and everyone took out crossbow arrows, ready to shoot Duan Lingxiao at the right time.
Su Qing did everything he could, and the waves of swords were higher than waves, but Duan Lingxiao was like a giant reef in the sea, and he would not bow his head despite the wind and rain. When Su Qing encountered such a strong hand, he only felt that his swordsmanship had never been so good. Fun, even the last time I played against Qiu Yufei, I didn't feel that way, because Qiu Yufei's martial arts are dexterous and flexible, and Su Qing's speed and movement skills are not as good as his. The martial arts are sturdy and powerful, allowing Su Qing to better play his strengths, so that when he reaches the hearty place, the sword shadow turns into a monstrous wave, and there are countless murderous intentions in the magnificence. Duan Lingxiao's martial arts are far superior to Su Qing's. Although he couldn't take her life for a while, he was able to do it with ease. Seeing Su Qing's swordsmanship posture, a strange light flashed in his eyes. With a loud bang, Duan Lingxiao slipped a sharp short knife out of his sleeve, and the sound of countless weapons crashing was deafening. He took Su Qing's onslaught abruptly, and Duan Lingxiao's broken knife turned into a flowing rainbow. Jiaolong generally pierces through Su Qing's sword net.
Su Qing has done her best, and Duan Lingxiao broke through the slightest flaw after the onslaught. She is resolute by nature, and the long sword in her right hand is free to shoot at Duan Lingxiao. A dagger in her left hand blocks the blade of the broken knife. Her delicate body fell backward like a kite with a broken string. Duan Lingxiao let out a long whistle and chased away. At this time, the knights who were swept in the outer formation shouted at the same time, the crossbow machine rang in unison, and more than 20 crossbow arrows, whose shadows could hardly be seen, shot at Duan Lingxiao in the air, Duan Lingxiao's sleeves Swinging, those crossbow arrows stopped as if they had encountered an invisible wall, and the reflection fell. At this time, the second and third waves of crossbow arrows had already been shot. Duan Lingxiao's body was spinning in the air like a windmill. Those crossbow arrows reflexed and returned. The knight was shot off the horse by the reflected crossbow arrow. However, Duan Lingxiao's action was also delayed for a moment. At this time, Ruyue had already flew past and pulled Su Qing to the horse. Su Qing spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and said loudly, "Go!" While blocking Duan Lingxiao's pursuit with a crossbow, he chased after him with a horse. A trace of coldness flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, he grabbed the reins of the war horse that Su Qing had left behind, and galloped after him.
Duan Lingxiao smiled coldly, volleyed his palm, and knocked the last knight off his horse. When he rode past his mount, he took off his horse lance, which flashed thousands of phantoms, and the two knights were caught by him. The thorn fell off the horse, but in a short while, he had already caught up with the Ruyue horse that fell in the back half because it was carrying two people. Su Qing was crouching on Ruyue's shoulder at the moment, and it seemed that he had passed out of a coma.
A cold light flashed in Duan Lingxiao's eyes, and a lance stabbed at Su Qing's vest. At this moment, Su Qing suddenly fell to the side, and Ruyue leaned over. Su Qing showed a crossbow in his hand, the crossbow machine sounded softly, and three The crossbow arrows shot at Duan Lingxiao at the same time. At this moment, the distance between the two of them was only 20 meters. Ma Lan was a long weapon and could not stop the crossbow arrows. Fortunately, Duan Lingxiao was excellent at riding. There was a shrill neigh on the door, and Duan Lingxiao felt his body soften. The war horse ran for a distance of more than ten meters and fell to the ground. Duan Lingxiao jumped up and fell to the ground. At the same time, Ma Lan got out. A black light flashed in the air, like a lightning strike, and shot at Su Qing, who had already got up from the horse. Just now, Su Qing had already used all her strength to complete the action of archery. When she sat up, it was when her hands and feet were weak and weak. When she saw Ma Leng shoot, she could no longer dodge, pale as snow. With a chilling smile on her face, she quietly waited for the moment when Ma Lan pierced her chest.
