Chapter 543 Chapter 541 [The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying] ()

Luoshan County.

This was originally a very inconspicuous small county town with only more than 30,000 residents. The height of the city wall was less than one foot, the city defense facilities were ineffective, and there were no inner and outer urns like those in big cities.

Luoshan County has been very lively in the past few months because it has become a bridgehead for Jing's army to invade south.

Jingjun's grain and grass were continuously transferred from the north, stored in Luoshan Nancheng, and then transported in batches to the frontline military camp more than 20 miles south.

There are three thousand Jingjun infantry stationed in the city. Their duty is to protect the mountains of grain and grass. As for the Daqi people living in the city, these people will obviously not be looked down upon by the arrogant and fierce Jingjun soldiers.

As night falls, this small county town gradually falls into silence after a brief period of noise.

The night breeze in early spring still carries a bit of coolness, especially in the wilderness, adding a sense of coldness.

On the plain about twenty miles northwest of the county seat, a dark silhouette of knights quietly appeared.

At the front of the team, Qi Lianfu was wearing light armor and a sword hanging from his waist. His appearance was quite rare.

There are many masters in the Seven Star Gang. Qi Lianfu can hold the extremely important position of the leader of the Yin Hall. He has an intelligence network all over the place. He must have a superb martial arts, but few people have seen him take action, so he It is impossible to determine what state he is in and whether he can compete with the masters in the third volume of the martial arts list.

Qi Lianfu turned to look at the young woman beside him and said calmly: "Miss, our people have sneaked into Luoshan County."

In the melting moonlight, Lin Xi tied her black hair into a high ponytail, held the famous sword that was famous in the arena with one hand, and said softly: "Uncle Qi, thank you for your hard work to accompany us this time, you don't have to follow me in the future. Go to the city."

Qi Lianfu was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant.

Lin Xi said calmly: "Didn't Uncle Qi notice that the Jingjun cavalry in the north was too quiet?"

The main camp of the Jing Army cavalry was stationed not far from Fengqiu. Their main duty was to intimidate the Feiyun Army in Fengqiu City. However, the Seven Star Army came out to harass the Jing Army's food road, but the other party did not launch a crazy pursuit. They only sent some Soldiers and horses guarded the baggage line.

Qi Lianfu mused: "Jingjun does not need too many troops to protect the grain transport team, but if he wants to surround us on this vast plain, it is difficult to do it with the troops in Qingyu Zhongwang's hands, and he also has We have to keep an eye on Fengqiu, so I don’t think the Jingjun cavalry’s reaction is very strange.”

"There is no problem with this analysis."

Lin Xi responded, and then said: "But I still feel something is abnormal. Uncle Qi, you lead two thousand cavalry to respond outside the city, and I lead three thousand cavalry to charge into the city and set fire to it. If things are not harmonious, we will not all be killed." Trapped in the city."

Qi Lianfu thought for a moment and said with emotion: "In that case, let me take people to Luoshan County. Miss, you will take care of me outside."

Lin Xi shook his head, his eyes clear and firm: "I proposed this matter, how can I let Uncle Qi take the risk for me? In this way, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will take my brothers out within an hour Come."

Qi Lianfu knew Lin Xi's temperament very well, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, Miss, please take care of yourself."

Lin Xi said: "Okay."

The cavalry of the Seven Star Army separated immediately. Lin Xi led 3,000 cavalry and continued to march towards Luoshan County. Qi Lianfu followed behind with the remaining 2,000 people.

Wrapped in armor and carrying a piece of armor, he walked through the night.

There is silence between heaven and earth.

The scene from a few years ago quietly appeared in Lin Xi's mind.

In Guangling City at night, with the Jingjun camp in front, she and Lu Chen led five hundred people to advance forward, breaking the camp and killing the generals.

Now she and Lu Chen were worlds apart, and she didn't even know where he was at this moment, but there was no fear in her heart, only peace and calm.

The night wind blew through the hair on her temples and her bright eyes.

Luoshan County is looming in sight.

"Prepare."

She whispered two words, and the soldiers around her conveyed them one after another.

The Three Thousand Cavalrymen maintained their previous not-so-fast speed, but the expressions on everyone's faces became solemn, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands.

After entering two miles, Lin Xi took a deep breath, clamped his slender legs around the horse's belly, and lowered his upper body forward.

Gradually accelerate, gradually become faster.

forward.

Although they had made concealment preparations in advance, as they got closer and closer to Luoshan North City, the movements of the Three Thousand Riders could not be concealed.

Before the Jingjun infantry stationed in Beicheng could respond, the angry scoldings of their comrades suddenly came from below.

"who?!"

No one answered, only the howling of the wind.

More than thirty men in black suddenly appeared behind the gatekeeper Jingjun, and blood burst out among the flashes of swords and shadows!

These masters who suddenly attacked caught Jing Jun off guard, and in a moment they had seized control of the city gate. At the same time, three thousand riders rode on the clouds and chased the moon, rushing outside the north gate!
Jingjun on the city wall only had time to release a round of arrows, and immediately sounded the gong to send a warning signal. However, the north gate was already open, and the cavalry of the Seven-Star Army stepped into the city.

"Uncle Tao, you and five hundred people will stay at the city gate!"

Lin Xi shouted angrily, and after receiving Tao Baochun's response, he immediately led the remaining cavalry to gallop south, heading straight for Jing Jun's granary. There are only two criss-crossing long streets in the county. The distance from the north gate to the granary in the south city is only two miles. For the cavalry that has already accelerated, it can be said that they are there in a blink of an eye.

However, Lin Xi only rushed out less than a hundred feet with his men. A torch suddenly lit up at the other end of the long street, and Jingjun's armored infantry were in front!

Where she couldn't see, from many directions outside Luoshan County, including the east, north, and south, Jing's cavalry and infantry were forming a net.

At this moment, Tao Baochun, who was staying behind to guard the city gate, sent out the agreed emergency signal.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xi understood everything. She didn't hesitate at all. Before the other brothers asked, she said sternly: "Don't panic, the enemy is on guard. Follow me out of the city!"

Her calmness and coolness calmed down the restless cavalry of the Seven Star Army. Without any panic, everyone immediately turned their horses' heads and turned forcefully.

At the other end of the long street, General Jing Jun, who was responsible for blocking the attack, frowned tightly.

More than ten miles to the north outside the city, a group of Jingjun cavalry rushed quickly.

Not long after, more than ten cavalry rushed forward, and the leading man shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the enemy cavalry attacked Luoshan at night, but they did not want to fight. They turned around and fled as soon as they entered the city. In addition, there were their cavalry outside the city. People responded, but our army did not block it in the city. "

Qingyu Zhongwang said in a deep voice: "What then?"

The man replied: "According to Your Highness's arrangement, our army is encircling you from all directions. The enemy troops are now fleeing to the southwest. They have no chance to return to Baotai Mountain in the north."

"it is good."

Qing Yu Zhongwang nodded slightly, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Next, we will try to catch the turtle in the urn and surround and annihilate this cavalry!"

"kill!"

Qian Yuqi responded loudly.

……

Moyang Road, outside Yongqiu City.

After several days of probing attacks, the defenders were forced to retreat, and Jing's army occupied the northern outer city wall of Yongqiu.

When the sky was dim, Qing Yugong woke up on time. Just after washing up, he saw Qing Yu Huaijin coming over and saluted: "Father."

"speak."

"I just received an urgent report from my brother. There are signs of the Seven-Star Army sending troops. He has followed my father's plan to lure the Seven-Star Army to raid our frontline granary. As long as the Seven-Star Army decides to do this, our army will definitely be able to kill these people this time. Send troops and horses.”

Qingyu Huaijin's face showed a hint of excitement.

Qing Yugong smiled faintly. Naturally, he would not be overjoyed by the news. After all, soldiers and horses have seen too many storms in their lives, so he said calmly: "If we can deal with the Seven Star Army, it will be like losing one of Lu Chen's arms. In the future, he will be in the Southern Qi court." The position will not be that secure.”

At this moment, Qingyu Huaijin hesitated because she suddenly realized a problem.

She knew who the leader of the Seven Star Army was. If her brother killed Lin Xi this time, Lu Chen would never join Da Jing again given his character.

This thought flashed through her mind. Of course she would not forget her identity and position. Although it was a pity, the overall situation was definitely more important.

Qing Yugong noticed the change in her expression and did not continue the topic. He said calmly: "I know you have always had a question in your heart. I wonder why my father will act in accordance with His Majesty's will this time."

If someone else said this, they would probably be laughed at. How many people under the Jing Dynasty dared to disobey Emperor Jing's will?
But Qing Yugong was among these people.

Qingyu Huaijin really didn't understand it, but he kept this question in his heart.

Qing Yugong walked to the table and sat down, and said slowly: "This time, the monarchs and ministers of Southern Qi worked together to set such an interlocking trap for Your Majesty and me. From the time Emperor Qi used himself as bait to Li Tianrun personally experiencing the danger, it was nothing more than I just want to take my head outside Yongqiu City. Your Majesty may not realize this is a trap at first, but he will definitely notice it later. It is just that for Your Majesty, let the power of the Qingyu family compete with the Qi army. Life and death is not something that is difficult to accept, or he is happy to see it happen."

Qingyu Huaijin sat opposite him and asked softly: "Then why don't you advise your majesty?"

"Admonishment is useless."

Qing Yugong shook his head, and then said: "The reason why my father did not resist the decree is because the monarchs and ministers of Southern Qi still don't understand my plan. As early as a year ago, I told Mie Gudi and others, This battle is not to capture the city, but to kill the main force of the Qi army as much as possible. Now that Li Tianrun is defending Yongqiu, Xiao Wangzhi is trapped in Luwu Mountain, and the Seven Star Army that Lu Chen values ​​most will also be in dire straits. This is what I want to achieve. "

Qingyu Huaijin suddenly realized.

Qing Yugong took a sip of the warm tea prepared by his soldiers and said slowly: "Whether Yongqiu can be recaptured is actually not important at all. Both the east and west fronts are just feints. What I want is Li Tianrun and Xiao Wangzhi's. What we want is the heads of some of the main forces of the Qi army, and then we can successfully retreat."

Qingyu Huaijin subconsciously asked: "Retreat?"

"The main force of the Qi army has been damaged. Your Majesty will definitely take over the follow-up war. How can your father not retreat?"

Qing Yugong smiled and said, "It's time to retreat. Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. I'll leave him with Lu Chen. I'm sure he can handle it."

Qingyu Huaijin secretly felt that her father's words were not that simple.

Qing Yugong put down the tea cup, stood up and said, "It's almost time to go meet our old rival."

He walked out, his steps steady and calm.
