Turbulent Times Chapter 1680: The fire burned the Temple of Fire

(I'm very sorry, I drank some wine last night in the last chapter, and I was dizzy when I came back to write it. I didn't modify it in the end, so I uploaded it. As a result, there were several typos, which have been modified, but it affected I’m really sorry for everyone’s reading.)

Li Xuanba grinned, and sat back on his seat carelessly. He didn't say anything arrogant, but he didn't help Li Zitong up, or make any similar gestures.

Qin Qiong glared at Li Xuanba, walked out of the banquet hall, helped Li Zitong up himself, and said: "Xuanba is a fool, General Li, don't take offense."

"Hmph! If you're really a fool, how can you secure the position of the commander of the first battalion of the Far Eastern Army?" Li Zitong cursed inwardly, but he had a rather flattered expression on his face, and quickly said: "Commander Qin You're being polite, the general knows General Li's character. But Shuai Qin must believe that those assassins just now really have nothing to do with the general."

"General Li, don't worry." Qin Qiong nodded slightly, and said loudly: "To let General Li know that the victim just now has been tortured by people from the Military Intelligence Office, and the twelve dancing girl assassins belonged to Xiao Ju in the Liang Kingdom in the south. people."

Li Zitong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and the hanging heart in his heart was completely let go, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn Xiao Ju, he just wanted to provoke the general's loyalty to the prince, and he was thinking about it." It’s really vicious, please tell the lord that Commander Qin will lead his troops to destroy Xiao Ju’s country of Liang for the lord in the end of the day, and personally cut off the head of this official.”

Qin Qiong was very satisfied with Li Zitong's reaction, but shook his head and said, "You can report these words to the lord personally after you take down the two counties in Huainan and destroy Du Fuwei. If you think about it, the lord will definitely fulfill you Loyalty."

……

……

On the second day, early in the morning, Li Zitong led 50,000 troops to the south and entered Huainan.

At the same time, Wei Daoer led the Gangdao Battalion all the way to the north. With the cooperation of Gan Ziqi's navy, they attacked the city and plundered the land. In the entire Geyang County, only Lujiang County in the northwest is left.

Successive defeats, coupled with the continuous victories of the Military Intelligence Office and Xiaoyu Theater in the ideological field, caused Du Fuwei's men and horses to shake their hearts, especially the guards and officials in the following counties did not have much fighting spirit. Not to mention the soldiers below.

Wei Daoer went all the way, except for a small number of generals who were loyal to Du Fuwei and led people to die like eggs hitting a stone, most of the people on Du Fuwei's side fled in all directions.

Then, along the way, groups of soldiers and generals began to form formations again, either stationed and waiting for orders, or gathered in nearby big cities.

But Wei Daoer didn't stop, and the army quickly advanced from Geyang County to Lujiang County.

However, finally on August 21st, in Hufeng County, two hundred miles away from Lujiang County, Wei Daoer encountered his first tough battle since he invaded Huainan.

The guard is Du Fuwei's younger brother Du Fuxiong, who led 20,000 defenders to defend the city desperately for two days. In the end, Wei Daoer let four super trebuchets aim at one place and throw a large amount of explosives. In one day, the extremely thick city wall was directly blown down and flattened, and on the third day, he led the army into Hufeng County through the gap.

After the city was broken, the killing spread quickly in the county, like a flood that covered the past.

Under Du Fuxiong's best organization, the defeated defenders organized sporadic resistance, and then they were crushed without a trace under the catastrophe. head.

This Hufeng County is considered a big city in Lujiang County, of course, it is still a little worse than the county.

However, due to its proximity to the county town, its city defenses are still quite tight, and business from south to north has prospered here, making it a permanent population of nearly 100,000.

In fact, Wei Dao'er could have bypassed Hufeng County and directly attacked Lujiang County, so that he might be able to encircle and fight for reinforcements.

However, the reason why Wei Daoer insisted on breaking through this Hufeng County is because Du Fuwei has been implementing the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, although Du Fuwei has failed successively, and Wei Daoer marched too fast, causing the food and grass behind to fail. If they didn't keep up, the food and grass they brought with the army were less than three days old.

And the few counties that surrendered voluntarily under the secret leadership of the Military Intelligence Office happened not to be on Wei Daoer's main marching route.

In addition, along the way

There has never been a big battle to fight, and Wei Daoer has heard that Shuai Qin of Huaibei led that idiot Li Xuanba to defeat Li Zitong's main force in a battle, and directly forced the latter to offer up the land of the two counties. More than 70,000 horses surrendered.

Wei Daoer saw that his eyes were hot and his hands were itchy, so he also wanted to fight a slightly bigger battle, and this Hufeng County was just a big piece of fat in Wei Daoer's eyes.

………

………

At the south gate of Hufeng County, Wei Dao'er pressed the handle of the knife, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and walked towards the largest granary in the city.

At the last moment, Du Fuxiong actually wanted to burn all the food and grass in the city, but was stopped by a group of people in the city from the Military Intelligence Office. For this reason, three people from the Military Intelligence Office also died.

At this time, a pair of red and hateful eyes were quietly staring at Wei Daoer and his party in a collapsed two-story building beside the road...

North of Hufeng County. The last group of soldiers crowded the city roads. Crazy want to rush out of the city.

In the market at the rear, the soldiers of the Steel Sword Battalion had already pushed forward, fighting fiercely in the streets and alleys, in an alleyway full of people. Three cavalrymen from the Steel Knife Battalion blocked the back road, armed with long spears, and stabbed frantically towards the front.

Blood splashed out, and the screams of Du Fuwei's soldiers merged into one. People's bodies crawled to the other side of the wall, and there were many brave soldiers among them. They mustered up their courage and fought desperately with the Far Eastern Army, but they were easily pierced by spears before they rushed to the front.

"General, Master Zhang of the Law Enforcement Team has arrested General Du Xiaofeng." A soldier hurried over to report to Wei Dao'er.

"What, Du Xiaofeng was arrested by Zhang Tielin?" Wei Dao'er frowned, this Du Xiaofeng is his confidant general, commanding 10,000 horses under his command, when he was the king of the mountain in Hebei, this Du Xiaofeng was him The sixth head of the family even had a life-saving grace for him, which can be described as a life-saving friendship.

"What's going on? Although Zhang Tielin has a bad temper, he never wrongs anyone." If it was someone else, Wei Dao'er didn't bother to care about it, because he knew that the law enforcement team within the Far East Army was a separate system. , although he, as the chief general, also has a certain degree of control, but the law enforcement team has the right to kill any generals who violate military discipline except him as the chief general, and he also knows that these law enforcement officers are all from Snake Island. Yes, so he is quite afraid of this Zhang Tielin.

"General, General Du Xiaofeng fell in love with a woman in Hufeng County, and he insisted on taking that woman as his concubine. Unexpectedly, the woman refused to do so. Du Xiaofeng was so angry that he killed the woman's family." The soldiers reported in a low voice.

"Damn it." Wei Dao'er frowned even tighter, "Du Xiaofeng, an idiot, actually did such a stupid thing for a woman, did he think it was back when he was a bandit?"

The soldier obviously has a good relationship with Du Xiaofeng, and he said cautiously: "General, Mr. Zhang said that in accordance with Article 17 of the Wartime Combat Regulations, General Du's head will be chopped off. General, do you have to return it?" Come forward and speak good words for General Du, so that Mr. Zhang will forgive him and spare General Du's life."

Wei Daoer let out a long sigh, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Tielin won't even give me face."

Wei Daoer was talking, listening to the noise of battle in the city coming from all directions. He was riding a war horse, ready to turn the horse's head, and went to law enforcement officer Zhang Tielin to intercede with Du Xiaofeng.

At this moment, the assassination came suddenly.

The suddenly condensed murderous aura seemed to thin the sky and cut off the sound. The silent sharp edge shot out from a half-collapsed small building on the side of the road with a stern murderous intent. In front of Dao'er's war horse, the sharp edge pierced through the air.

There was a roar from Wei Daoer's personal guards, and one of the fastest responders shot an arrow from the side and rear, and the other threw a spear in a hurry.

However, at that moment, everyone's reaction seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed of the assassination, and the strength of the person who came was quite high.

Especially the assassin was thin and small, but his speed was extremely fast. With the sharp edge of a long sword in his hand, he yelled sharply: "Dog officer, go to death..."

The voice contained incomparable resentment, and the sharp and stern voice was like the crowing of a night crow.

"Find

Dead. "Wei Dao'er shouted loudly, and the cloak on his body roared and unfolded in the air. On the street in the afternoon, the horseman stood up, and it seemed like a ball of white light exploded in midair.

Wei Dao'er let out a "ha", drew his sword and swung it, the precious sword in his hand brought a dazzling light, at the last moment he firmly blocked the assassin's sword, and in an instant a strong force came out of his sword , directly sent the incoming assassin flying upside down.

At this time, Wei Dao'er and the soldiers around him saw clearly that the person who came was a thin young woman who was not masked, and she looked quite beautiful, holding a long sword in her hand. Her eyes were red, and she rolled on the ground a few times with a look of resentment on her face. Just as she stood up, she was surrounded by a group of soldiers, and immediately after, dozens of long spears stabbed at her.

"Ah..."

Although this woman's strength is good, her main reason is that her movement is relatively fast. At this time, surrounded by it, she is like a bird in a cage, and has nowhere to hide.

At this moment, she screamed. Although she tried her best to dodge and block with her long sword in her hand, she didn't hold on for long before she was stabbed in the shoulder, and a moment later, he was forced into the In the dead corner of the roadside ruins, several spears pierced her body, almost lifting her up.

But she didn't seem to feel the pain in her body. She held the long sword in her hand, looked at Wei Dao'er, blood came out of her mouth, and shouted loudly: "Officer Dog, your soldiers killed my whole family, I'm a ghost!" I won't let you go, ah..."

At the end, she still wanted to point the long sword in her hand at Wei Dao'er, but as soon as she made a move, she was directly inserted into a sieve by a group of soldiers, and she died on the spot.

"The general's soldiers destroyed her whole family..." Wei Dao'er's face turned ashen after hearing the woman's last words.

The soldier next to him who reported the letter hastily said with a bitter face: "General, this woman is the woman General Du has taken a fancy to. He came here to assassinate the general, **** it."

Wei Dao'er's face was ugly, he gritted his teeth and said: "This girl's martial arts are not weak, who is her family, how many people did this **** fool Du Xiaofeng kill?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, and said: "This woman's surname is Huo. The Huo family is a well-known martial arts family in the local area. General Du killed more than a hundred of them."

"Du Xiaofeng really deserves to die..." Wei Dao'er cursed like this, feeling extremely angry in his heart, but when he thought of Du Xiaofeng saving his life, the two of them were as close as brothers, finally he sighed and continued to turn around Ma Tou, went to find Law Enforcement Officer Zhang Tielin.

But before Wei Daoer could speak, Zhang Tielin clasped his fists first and said: "If General Wei wants to intercede with Du Xiaofeng, I would suggest that General Wei better not say such a thing, lest this official will lose face to the general and let the general Embarrassing."

"These **** words of yours have embarrassed me, okay?" Wei Dao'er cursed inwardly, suppressed the anger in his heart, cupped his fists and said politely: "Master Zhang, Du Xiaofeng has made a lot of contributions along the way, Today, he beheaded Du Fuxiong, the guard of Hufeng City, and made a great contribution, besides, he has saved this general, can Master Zhang spare his life."

"Your Majesty Zhang, you can rest assured that he will definitely not succeed as a general. He would have been demoted directly to a soldier, strictly disciplined, and even let him rush to the front in every battle to atone for his crimes."

Wei Dao'er's posture was very low, and his words were very polite, but Zhang Tielin was unmoved at all, without even the slightest hesitation, he shook his head and said: "General Wei, Du Xiaofeng has seriously violated military discipline. Official Lüben could have beheaded him on the spot, but the subordinate officials did not immediately behead him, and waited for General Wei to come to see him for the last time, which was considered a lenient, considering the friendship between the general and him."

Wei Dao'er's complexion suddenly became even more ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhang, don't you give me such thin noodles."

Zhang Tielin sneered and said: "General Wei may not know that Du Xiaofeng's fire extinguisher is not an ordinary family."

Wei Dao'er snorted coldly: "I would naturally know that they are a well-known local martial arts family, but so what, when will my Far Eastern Army put a small martial arts family in my eyes."

Zhang Tielin sneered and said: "The person who reported the letter to General Wei probably didn't tell General Wei that the Huo family joined the Wulin Guild a few years ago, and they are considered our own. Burned down, they made great contributions to the family, and the three people who died in the Military Intelligence Office were actually members of their Huo family."
