After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 53 The First Desperate Road
Qingfeng Village.

Spy to report.

"Report to General Xu, the enemy sent a small vanguard force, with a number of about 500 people, to reach Xiaoqing'ao in about half an hour."

Xiaoqingao is a section of official road located on the hillside of Xiaoqing Peak.

The dirt road is more than ten meters wide, with a thousand-foot cliff hanging on the outside. The steep slope was not easy to climb on the inside, but was dug into a right angle by Xu Ningcheng's men, and the height is seven or eight meters. go up.

The whole four miles is the first desperate road prepared by the Nanli Army for the invaders.

Five hundred pioneers passed Xiaoqing'ao safely.

Looking at the subordinates who came back to pass on the news, the bearded general couldn't make a decision for a while.

It was clearly good news, but he felt inexplicably uneasy. 30 years of military experience, intuition honed through dozens of bloody battles, and a keen sense of the danger on the battlefield all alerted him that the road ahead was difficult.

On the other side, the spies reported to Xu Ningcheng again——

The enemy sent another small group of people to go ahead, about [-] people in number, and dozens of good climbers went up the mountain from the side.

Four waves of people were dispatched in a row without incident, and those who inspected from the side also reported that they found no abnormalities. General Hu beard finally dispelled his doubts and ordered the whole army to march.

At this time, across a canyon, Daqing Peak, which is far away from Xiaoqing Peak, ignited beacon smoke.

The location where the beacon smoke is lit is lower than the official road, and the green smoke slowly floats out from the forest, taking advantage of the wind, slowly drifting towards the Xiaoqingao official road on the other side of the valley.

Looking from the official road, the sky is full of smoke and mist steaming from the bottom of the valley, just like a dreamy morning fog.

The faint fragrance is lingering. The first smell is like the wild flowers blooming all over the mountain in spring, which makes people feel happy.

"No, it's poisonous fog!"

Smelling a trace of peculiar smell hidden in the rich fragrance, the military doctor reminded him loudly. At the same time, he started to feel sick, and someone beside him was already holding his chest and vomiting.

The horse neighed and roared, accompanied by the sound of weapons falling to the ground.

Looking at the soldiers again, they vomited profusely at first, and then they had different reactions, either their eyes were blurred and swayed left and right, or they fell to the ground stiff and twitched, or they were extremely excited and jumped off the cliff...

Those with a particularly good foundation, or those who are not so sensitive to poisonous fog, also feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness and weakness in limbs.

Seeing the trick, the bearded general spat and hastily ordered the troops to withdraw, "Withdraw!"

however……

When they returned to the entrance of Xiaoqing'ao, they saw that the road was completely blocked by rocks.

Driven by the desire to survive, more than a dozen soldiers took the initiative to move stones to open the way without the command of the general.

"Ah!" One soldier lifted the stone and turned around, his eyes fell on the face of the other soldier who was carrying the stone, and he let out a terrified cry, then let go of his hand, and fell to the ground in fright.

Seeing the comrades moaning with their heads in their arms, feeling the warm liquid flowing from the eye sockets, nostrils, and ear holes, the soldier slightly raised his hand to touch his face, but saw that the ten fingernails were all black.

"Help! It hurts, it hurts to death, General..."

The soldiers stretched out their hands towards their beards, groaning in pain, calling for help desperately and sadly.

Originally, he wanted to avenge the short general who single-handedly promoted him, but unexpectedly, he fell here first.

After a few breaths of effort.

All the soldiers who touched the stone bleed to death.

Damn it!It was so poisonous that even the stone was poisoned.

"Xu Ningcheng, get out of here, come out and fight in a dignified manner, what kind of a man is he to resort to such despicable means! Xu Ningcheng, you shy turtle..."

The bearded general was furious, and circled around, pointing at the dense forest in the valley and shouting insults.

Treat every plant, tree, flower and stone as a despicable villain Xu Ningcheng.

In his impression, Xu Ningcheng became famous when he was young, he was heroic and arrogant, and he never looked down on things like three religions and nine streams, so he never thought that the other party would actually use poison.

The bearded man drooled and scolded for a long time, but Xu Ningcheng didn't hear a word.

He went to the Broken Arm Cliff in front of Xiaoqing'ao, and personally commanded the ambush to fight, without losing a single soldier, and killed more than 2000 enemy vanguards with rolling stones, rolling logs, and arrows.

Although Xu Ningcheng didn't hear it, someone did, and the bearded man was not in vain.

Xu Linpeng is also a small general now, with more than 4000 female soldiers under her command. She led people around to the rear to cut off the enemy's retreat. When she was full of swearing, she happened to arrive at Xiaoqing'ao and was blocking the road the other side of the stone pile.

You can really hear what she said to scold her biological brother!

call out--

A loud rocket shot into the sky.

The Nanli Army launched a general offensive.

It is said that it is a battle, but it is actually a make-up. There are only a few of the more than 1 enemy soldiers who have been poisoned by poisonous smoke.

Unilateral crush!
It was a sunny day and the sun was shining brightly, but the short distance of Xiaoqing'ao, with the sun shining on its head, turned into a purgatory on earth, with corpses forming mountains, blood soaking the road, and dripping into the deep valley along the thousand-foot cliff.

A massacre that tempered the psychological quality of civilian soldiers...

Sacrifice our flag with the blood of the enemy!

Xu Ningcheng rushed over from Broken Arm Cliff and saw Xu Linpeng pointing his knife at a dead man.

"Stop!" Xu Ningcheng said with a serious face.

Xu Linpeng paused, "Second Brother, this guy scolded you, I'll cut off his head and give it to Second Brother as a ball."

Speaking of which, this guy is really persistent, he can't even stand up after being poisoned, and he still has the strength to swear at others.

If it were someone else, maybe she would still admire his courage, but it was her second brother who scolded him, so she could only decisively give him a heart-piercing gun.

"It's actually him." Seeing the bearded appearance, Xu Ningcheng was slightly surprised.

Back then, apart from him, King Shuyun had two other generals.

Liu Wen is resourceful, can deal with serious situations, can endure, and is good at fighting protracted battles.

And the other one is the one in front of him.In terms of resourcefulness, this man is not as good as Liu Wen, and in terms of skill, he is no match for him, but he has a courageous and solitary courage that is not afraid of death.

"Second brother recognizes him?" Xu Linpeng put down the knife.

"Hmm." Xu Ningcheng nodded, "Regardless of character, he is considered a lonely and brave soldier on the battlefield, worthy of a whole corpse."

"Who is the person that the second elder brother admires?"

"He Gaitian."

boom--

Xu Linpeng's head went numb.

"Who? The second brother said he was He Gaitian? He Gaitian, the one who beheaded the head of the leader of the Black Turban army alone 18 years ago and survived 32 knives?"

Seeing that the fingers of the girl pointing at He Gaitian were trembling, Xu Ningcheng was slightly taken aback, "Yeah."

Hearing this, Xu Linpeng was stunned for a few seconds, then sat cross-legged on the floor with his knees bent, and then with a "wow", he began to cry.

Ning Yu came late with Huang Chao, seeing Xu Linpeng crying heartbreakingly, was really shocked.

"What's wrong with Fifth Sister?" Ning Yu slid down the donkey's back.

Xu Ningcheng cast a helpless look of "you ask her", squinted at his snotty, snotty, and teary-feeling sister, and turned around to arrange the aftermath.

"Fifth Sister, why are you crying?" Looking around, Ning Yu helped her forehead.

Finished!

Fifth Sister's already precarious image was completely exposed to the storm!The soles of the second aunt's shoes, as well as the dragon's head crutches of the grandmother, seem to have rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Xiaoqi, He Gaitian is dead, I pierced his heart."

Looking away from Fifth Sister's cat face, Ning Yu looked at the bearded man in general's costume, guessing that Second Brother must have confirmed the identity of this person.

"He Gaitian aided the evildoers. His death is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the King of Shuyun. It is a good thing. Why are you crying?"

Could it be that weeping with joy?

It doesn't look like it, it's like mourning a concubine, as if you were sentenced to be cast into a pig fetus in the next life after your own death.

"Wuwu, what do you know! He is He Gaitian, my idol... I practice martial arts day and night, hoping to become a lonely hero like him one day, but I personally killed my idol. This kind of pain , you won’t understand, woo woo…”

She's so aggrieved, she's not worth it for an idol!

Ning Yu was shocked!

Taking a bully who oppresses good people as an idol...

Well, she really doesn't understand.

"Although this He Gaitian is brave and fearless on the battlefield, but in private, he has ungrateful for sex and robbed the women of the people. He is definitely not a good person. Isn't Fifth Sister determined to eradicate violence and bring peace to the people? Why do you take such a villain as a role model?"

Xu Linpeng, who had only heard of He Gaitian's bravery and majesty on the battlefield, was confused, "Who said he was a villain?"

Ning Yu pointed to the figure not far away, "Second Brother."
