Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At noon, the sun was shining brightly, having driven away the coldness of the morning sun. At this moment, people felt warm all over their bodies, but the defeat just now made people feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.

    Qi Shaojin was riding on his horse, feeling a gust of wind blowing by, looking at the soldiers wailing all over the field, and looking at his own elite soldiers.  At this time, he had become so depressed and embarrassed.  He clutched the riding crop tightly and could not say anything.  It has to be said that Qi Shaojin is also a proud general. When he was in the Xue family, he also commanded the elite and dominated the military field for countless years.  Now, it was one of the few defeats he had suffered.

    Both teams were in dire straits. No one could have imagined that a Batu raiding army of several thousand people would drive tens of thousands of people around.  After all, those Batu barbarians did not dare to be too showy and exposed, and they did not continue to pursue them.

    Qi Shaojin was ashamed to face Fu Xiaowa, and his face turned dark and white in front of the soldiers.  The deputy general next to him also had a dark face and did not dare to say anything.

    If Fu Xiaowa hadn¡¯t ambushed the rear, they didn¡¯t know how many soldiers they would have lost.

    The deputy general stood silently beside Qi Shaojin on horseback, not daring to say anything and not knowing what to say.  At this time, he knew that words of comfort were useless, and words of encouragement were not appropriate.

    It was time to make a decision. They all knew that this group of super terrifying barbarians could not be encountered again.

    Faced with such a defeat, the lieutenant general still wanted to ask Qi Shaojin for his next order: "Major General, look, should we retreat to the city first and wait for the city to send a large army to clear it out?"

    Qi Shaojin was silent. This was the first time he had been chased and beaten and fled.  The feeling of failure is indeed painful.  Facing the eyes of the soldiers below, he felt ashamed.  However, he also knew that those barbarian soldiers could not be touched again, and it was already very good to escape this time.

    ??Looking at the soldiers below, they are all frightened, fearing that they will encounter those barbaric soldiers again.

    "Okay, let's go back to the city first!" Qi Shaojin agreed.

    The deputy general was immediately overjoyed and wished he could fly back to the city. It still didn¡¯t feel safe outside.  Like hanging on the tip of a knife.

    "Everyone, listen up. Get ready and return to the city!" the deputy general shouted and ordered.

    At this time, the soldiers below gathered quickly, some injured and some uninjured.  Can struggle.  All assembled as quickly as possible.  I don¡¯t want to stay here any longer.

    But Fu Xiaowa came to Qi Shaojin and said, "No, we can't go back!"

    Qi Shaojin couldn't understand this guy, he was the one who said he wouldn't let him go.  He is the one who is not allowed to leave now. What kind of trouble is this guy going to make?

    It was true that he was ashamed, and he suppressed his temper and said: "I feel ashamed for not listening to your advice. We really can't defeat it. I have to admit this. I also thank you very much for helping me halfway, but it is too dangerous here. Now  The best strategy is to return to the city and move troops!"

    Fu Xiaowa said seriously: "Major General, does he know what their intentions are?"

    After all this fuss, Qi Shaojin didn't have time to think more about this question. When Fu Xiaowa asked, he started to think about it.

    Fu Xiaowa helped him quickly organize his thoughts. Hou Dafa knew it, and Qi Shaojin had to know it. He said: "They came to destroy the Leping Bridge and cut off our army's retreat and supplies. This place is only ten miles away from the Leping Bridge."  Earth, if we go back and come back again, the Leping Bridge will have been destroyed in their hands, our army will be in chaos, and the battle of Haocheng will be even more dangerous. Major General Qi, do you understand the urgency of the matter?"

    At this point, Qi Shaojin frowned. This matter was indeed important. If the bridge was destroyed, just as Fu Xiaowa said, the consequences would be disastrous.

    "Then what do you want us to do?"

    "I have sent people back to report the situation. Now, all we have to do is guard the Leping Bridge and wait for support!!!" Fu Xiaowa's voice sounded every word.

    The soldiers below were already looking at each other, and they were talking about each other.

    Qi Shaojin said: "But how can we defend Leping? These barbarian soldiers are all practitioners. One can fight ten. We have less than 30,000 people in total now!"

    ???????????????This elite barbarian soldier is equivalent to the combat power of 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers!

    "We must fight even if we can win, and we must fight even if we cannot win. We are soldiers. The mission of a soldier is to die where he should die. Rather than die in the ruined Haocheng, it is better to die on the long bridge here!"

    Fu Xiaowa¡¯s voice shocked Qi Shaojin, and Qi Shaojin looked into Fu Xiaowa¡¯s eyes, which looked like death.  Although he had not been in contact with this person for a short time, he had already fully appreciated his amazing deeds.  Now, he is experiencing a complete story.

    The blood of those bandit soldiers was boiling with passion at this time. They had already regarded death as home, and if they fought bloody battles, then they would fight bloody battles.

    Qi Shaojin took a deep breathHe took a breath, closed his eyes, and commanded calmly: "Stand at Long Bridge!"

    Leping Bridge is the only bridge leading to the Imperial City. Under the bridge, the Leping River flows endlessly.  The locals all know that the Leping River is so violent that even the most experienced boatmen dare not frequent it.  According to legend, it took a total of sixteen years to build this stone and wood bridge over the Leping River.

    Standing on the bridge, listening to the roar of the river below, I feel a heroic feeling.

    Because Fu Xiaowa and others took the official route, while the attackers took the mountain route, Fu Xiaowa and others had to arrive early.  At this time, soldiers were already stationed at the bridge.  The garrison could not take advantage of the bridge's narrow advantage, because the attackers could not be allowed to approach the bridge at all, so the only bridgehead near Haocheng was fortified.

    Fu Xiaowa and the bandits were ambushing on both sides of the official road, while Qi Shaojin's army was stationed at the bridgehead.

    The sun continues to scorch the earth, the official road is still as calm as before, and the ground is rising with steam.  The atmosphere was very tense, and it looked like a storm was coming. People had forgotten their thirst under the scorching sun and stared motionlessly at the end of the official road.

    A wisp of sweat was already flowing down Fu Xiaowa's forehead. He didn't know whether it was from nervousness or the hot weather.

    Appeared, and sure enough, at the corner of the official road, a group of barbarian soldiers had appeared. The barbarian soldiers coming from the mountain road gathered at the foot of the mountain and headed straight for the Leping Bridge.

    There are thousands of people in Ququ, but it can actually make people feel so coercive.  With dust rising from the sky behind them, this surprise attack force charged straight ahead, completely ignoring the 30,000 men stationed there.

    "shoot!"

    Seeing that the attackers had entered the ambush, Fu Xiaowa immediately ordered the attack. Arrows rained down from the sky, and many of the attackers in the lead were shot down.  However, he saw that the footsteps of the people behind him were still the same. These barbarian soldiers were extremely fierce and their sprinting speed was also very alarming.

    "Kill!" Qi Shaojin also waved his spear and ordered to meet the enemy.

    They had just suffered a defeat, and the soldiers under the banner were very afraid of these barbarians.  Morale was very low.  Fu Xiaowa's archers fired volleys from both sides of the official road.  They also faced the onslaught of barbarian soldiers.  These barbarian soldiers were well-trained, fast, and capable of dodge, so they suffered little loss from the rain of arrows.  He quickly rushed to Fu Xiaowa.

    Fu Xiaowa jumped out of the bunker.  Fight with the forwards.

    This is time bought with life and flesh and blood.  I don¡¯t know when Haocheng¡¯s reinforcements will arrive. The killing is brutal, ordinary people facing practitioners.  Like a massacre, soldiers are being lost.

    The archer echelons were set up layer after layer on both sides of the official road. Fu Xiaowa fought and retreated, and the defenses were broken layer by layer.
