Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 389 What are you going to do! [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you words]

tenth day of september
This was the day when the decisive battle took place outside the Keyi Gate.

The setting sun is shining obliquely.

In the mountains,

Where Xu Zaijing, He Guan and others are.

Xu Zaijing and others were looking at each other, digesting what they had just heard.

"Wulang, this is clearly Master Bai's evil plan. He wants to trick you into the army and kill you! We must not go!"

"We helped this guy to put down the rebellion, and he led his people to surrender? You must be kidding me!"

As He Guan spoke, he kept looking at Xu Zaijing's expression.

"No, Goro, you won't."

At this time,

Beside the crowd, an old scout with an injured arm who was in charge of observing the situation behind them walked over quickly and said in a hoarse voice: "Wulang, there is someone behind us. Look at the flag. It's my commander!"

Xu Zaijing raised his chin and said, "Qingyun, tell him to wait. I will give them an answer later!"

As he said this, Xu Zaijing walked back.

Hearing Qingyun's voice, Xu Zaijing walked to the high ground behind him to observe.

Sure enough, not far away, they saw a group of people wearing the red uniforms of the Great Zhou Cavalry, wearing armor, and holding a battle flag with the word "Zhu" on it. They were following the mountain road in a winding formation like a snake and rushing towards this side quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour,

Zhu Qinghu, whose lips were pale and whose mount was panting heavily, led his men to Xu Zaijing's side.

"An Woyi and Meng Xizhou are dead?"

Zhu Qinghu took the Bai Gaoguo water bag handed over by Xu Zaijing and asked while twisting the stopper.

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "I don't know! I sent them to deliver a message to my father."

After Zhu Qinghu took a sip of water, he handed it to Wang Yan, who was also covered in dust, standing behind him.

Following behind Pang Wanchun, the scout who had been at odds with Xu Zaijing when he met Ye Fang at Yu Huguang's place swallowed hard.

After counting the number of Xu Zaijing's comrades, Pang Wanchun, who had delivered the message to Xu Zaijing in the morning, whispered hoarsely, "Why, so many Baigao bandits have died along the way since we entered the mountain, but none of Wulang's men are in trouble?"

Pang Wanchun in front wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

"Cousin, how many soldiers did you bring with you?"

Zhu Qinghu looked blankly at the corpses on the mountain road not far away and the Baigao army in the distance.

Hearing Xu Zaijing's question, he said with some discomfort in his eyes: "Less than 200. I was originally blocking the Baigao Rangers outside the formation! After the reinforcements arrived, they scared away the bandits in the north. After I received the military order from my uncle, I hurried over."

The Great Zhou Cavalry had a battalion of 400 cavalrymen.

Zhu Qinghu was the commander of the first battalion.

Although Zhu Qinghu's father, Xu Zaijing's uncle who died in battle many years ago, was also a battalion commander, there was still a huge gap between a cavalry corps and an infantry corps.

Xu Zaijing did not ask where the rest of the cavalry were.

Most of the cavalry in Zhu Qinghu's battalion were scouts, and most of them died in the battle with the scouts of Bai Gaoguo.

"What is that tall white thief down there doing standing there?"

Xu Zaijing told his story.

After listening, Zhu Qinghu looked into the distance with a thoughtful look in his eyes and said:

"Wu Lang, are you going?"

Xu Zaijing nodded.

"No! What if the other side is determined to trick you into joining the army to kill you? Now the situation is decided, I can't let you go!"

Xu Zaijing said: "Cousin, if we were on flat ground, I would definitely not go to the enemy camp surrounded by ambushes from all sides."

"But, cousin, look at the terrain in this mountain. There are no more than five or six people in front of me. Do you think anyone can stop me?"

Thinking about the days when he was knocked away by Zhen during sparring with Xu Zaijing in the Marquis' Mansion, Feng Dabao behind Zhu Qinghu nodded in approval.

Xu Zaijing, wearing extremely good armor and holding a long steel spear in his hand, swung it and broke out of the Baigao army on the mountain road, which was not difficult.

"Besides, the Baigao army is now in internal strife. I think we can give it a try! At worst, I can lead my men to fight our way out."

"With so many people gone back to defend the city, I wonder how many comrades would be spared from death when the siege begins."

Zhu Qinghu thought about Xu Zaijing's abilities.

The attitude has softened.

He pondered for a moment.

After nodding his agreement, he looked at his subordinates behind him and said, "You heard what Wu Lang said. Do you want to follow him to the Baigao Army?"

Looking at his subordinates behind him who were full of fighting spirit and eager to fight despite looking tired, Zhu Qinghu nodded a few times: "Wang Yan, Feng Dabao, Pang Wanchun."

"For this kind of thing, quality is more important than quantity."

After saying that, Zhu Qinghu pointed to the direction outside the mountain where the loud shouts and killing sounds came from and said, "Tell them that when I came, 100,000 reinforcements from my Great Zhou had already arrived, and thousands of heavy cavalry troops were attacking their army."

Xu Zaijing nodded heavily.

After the two finished talking,

Xu Zaijing left his own Alan and the eagle breeder here.

After he gathered ten people including Qingyun, He Guan, Feng Dabao, Pang Wanchun, etc., he led the horses, circled around for a while, and then went down the mountain.

on the mountain road,
I saw the sudden increase in the number of battle flags and soldiers on the hilltop.

Knowing that the road was difficult to travel and that they could not arrive at the battlefield on the time specified by the general, some of the generals of the Baigao Kingdom were very anxious, while others were already discouraged.

Because of the previous wave of infighting arrows, the backbone General Renduo was injured and left.

The front army was already in great chaos.

At this moment, they saw Xu Zaijing and ten others actually walking towards them.

The leader was Liannu Baihuo who claimed to be sent by General Renduo.

There was an uproar in the army of Bai Gaoguo.

Before Xu Zaijing and his men reached the Baigao army,
On the way,

Lian Nu Baihuo looked at Xu Zaijing in armor and the tall little Liju behind him, and said in the stiff Da Zhou dialect: "Brother, is he okay in Da Zhou?"

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing, who had only been under his father's command for a short time, looked behind him in confusion.

Feng Dabao, who was following, saw Xu Zaijing's look and quickly said, "But Lian Nu Baili? Very good, now he is a Xuanjie school lieutenant of the eighth rank."

This seemed to be very good news to Lennu Baihuo, and a smile appeared on his face.

The army of the Baigao Kingdom was getting closer to the mountain road.
The soldiers of the Baigao Kingdom on the opposite side either retreated in fear, or had fierce looks in their eyes, or some clenched their weapons tightly.

Amid the distant shouts, sounds of war drums, and the sound of horse hooves.

Lian Nu Baihuo shouted a few words of Baigao language with all his might.

Wang Yan, who was following behind Xu Zaijing, translated in a low voice: "Wulang, this person said that the army outside the mountain was ambushed, and the general is looking for a way for them to survive."

Amidst the clear shouts of the Great Zhou language coming from afar.

Xu Zaijing nodded and smiled at a father and son standing on the side of the road.

That was the white tall soldier he had just saved with his shield.

After Xu Zaijing finished laughing, he looked at the soldier of Bai Gaoguo who had a fierce look in his eyes.

After scanning over, those with fierce eyes looked at Xu Zaijing for less than a breath, and then quickly looked away.

Xu Zaijing and his group of ten people were just like walking in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After passing this narrow mountain road,

Just ride on the mount.

Run all the way.

As the road to the mountain widened behind, most of the Baigao soldiers had no idea what was happening in the front army.

Listening to the sound of war drums and shouts of killing from the Great Zhou in the distance.

He could only watch in horror as Xu Zaijing and other members of the Great Zhou cavalry passed by him.

Drag Jue Zhongding to the side of the mountain road.

The elite infantry of the Liannu tribe had already blocked off the front and back of the mountain road.

Zhua Jue Zhongding sat on the chair, his elbows resting on his knees, hunched over, looking up at the bloodstains, the corpses of men and horses, and the distracted archers of Bu Ba Zi on the mountain road.

The corpses of men and horses on the ground

It seemed to overlap with the scene he saw on the wall in Bian Jing.

Zhua Jue Zhongding closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"Sir, several commanders of the rear army have arrived."

A lieutenant from the Liannu tribe reported this.

Zhuajue Zhongding opened his eyes, looked at the front army, and said, "Just tell them that General Renduo asked them to wait a little longer."

"Yes!"

Having said that, the lieutenant walked back.

Half an hour later,

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the infantrymen in the front line made way for a horse to pass through.

Looking at Xu Zaijing and others riding horses passing by them, many infantrymen who were forming a battle array to isolate the front army turned their heads to look.

Not far away, Zhua Jue Zhongding looked at the leader, swallowed uncomfortably and said, "Quickly move the seats and let the commanders of the rear army come over!" Xu Zaijing and his group came to Zhua Jue Zhongding and dismounted.

Pang Wanchun and others led the horses, while Qingyun and Wang Yan followed behind Xu Zaijing.

Seeing Xu Zaijing walking over with his men in the armor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a friendly smile appeared on Xu Zaijing's handsome face.

Zhuajue Zhongding also forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and bowed his hands and said:

"Hello, Wulang. Please take a seat!"

Xu Zaijing nodded, not paying attention to General Renduo who had already died. He sat on the chair on the other side and said with a smile: "Master Zhajue, what the Great Zhou said is really good!"

"I, I have been in Bianjing for a long time before, and I like the fine wine of Qingfeng Tower and the parade of Feiyuntai the most."

Xu Zaijing's eyes lit up: "Oh? Lord Zhajue is so clear about justice. If he helps His Majesty to recover the homeland, he will surely have endless wine to drink in the future!"

"Goro is right."

Zhua Jue Zhongding was a little afraid to look at Xu Zaijing and nodded repeatedly.

Looking at Zhajue Zhongding's somewhat humble attitude, He Guan and other generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all filled with confusion.

At this time,

The Bubazi army formation that was isolating the rear army not far away had already made way.

Several commanders of the rear army of the Baigao army came over with one or two personal soldiers.

Seeing the style of armor worn by Xu Zaijing who was sitting next to Zhua Jue Zhongding, many people looked puzzled.

When they got closer and saw that the commander of the army, General Renduo, had already died, they were unable to react for a moment.

Subsequently,

The generals of the Baigao Kingdom began to speak one after another, and from their tone and expressions one could tell that they were very anxious.

Someone had already drawn a large sword and pointed it at Xu Zaijing.

Xu Zaijing stood still, just listening to the words translated by Wang Yanzheng behind him.

He pulled Jue Zhongding to his feet, shouted loudly, and then began to speak in a very powerful voice.

Wang Yan translated, "Wulang, this General Bai Gao said that the Shanwai army had been ambushed. Now that General Renduo is dead, the Shanwai general will definitely not let them go."

"Now, whether in Da Zhou or Bai Gao, the Liang Yi family are all traitors."

"So, he decided to restore order and surrender to the Great Zhou!"

Zhajue Zhongding glanced at Xu Zaijing, and then said something in a deep and powerful voice.

Wang Yan quickly translated: "Who is in favor, who is against?"

A picture flashed through Xu Zaijing's mind.

"."

In Xu Zaijing's mind, the old lady's voice in his memory shouted tremblingly: Why do what he said sound like my words?
Thinking of this, Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head slightly.

Zhua Jue Zhongding saw Xu Zaijing's expression and movements from the corner of his eye and turned to look over.

Seeing the puzzled look in Zhajue Zhongding's eyes, Xu Zaijing said, "Not bad, very impressive!"

Zhuajue Zhongding nodded quickly: "Thank you for the compliment, Wulang."

Subsequently,

After a few shouts and groans in Baigao dialect beside the mountain road.

Zhua Jue Zhongding looked at the man who flew two meters away with trembling pupils, and then looked at the eyes of the Baigao soldiers around him who were grieving over the loss of the rabbit.

Sensing the unusual movements of the Baigao soldiers nearby, Xu Zaijing said, "They are not dead."

Zhuajue Zhongding breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted a few words in Baigao dialect.

The disturbances around him calmed down.

After all this,
The sun is setting and is about to set.

The soldiers of the Baigao Kingdom lined up along the mountain road and began to use the drinking water and dry food they brought with them.

In the darkening mountains,
Zhuajue Zhongding stood beside Xu Zaijing, looking at him holding a handful of weeds in his hand and listening to his words with a look of disbelief on his face.

However, the faces of He Guan, Wang Yan and others were extremely solemn.

Xu Zaijing looked at them and continued:
"We must leave one person here to facilitate the handover of the following matters. But once it gets dark, I don't know how long our fake military order will be effective. The situation will most likely be difficult to control."

He Guan and others nodded.

"So, those who stay here after dark must hide in the Liannu infantry formation."

"The rest of you, come with me and follow Jue Zhongding to Xingqing Prefecture."

"Come on, each one relies on their luck."

"The shortest ones stay."

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing raised the weeds in his hand.

Looking at the figures going away,
He Guan threw the weeds in his hand to the ground angrily.

Lian Nu Baihuo said, "Captain He, in fact, if you stay here, you won't be in danger because of our infantry."

He Guan nodded and said, "I know!"

"Ok!"

It has been half an hour since Xu Zaijing and others left.

It was already dark.

As if they had considered the possibility of a night battle, the Bai Gao army also prepared torches.

"He said that several of the frontline soldiers asked why this order was issued."

"Those who can be Iron Hawks are the sons of the rich and powerful in Baigao, so we need to respond."

Under the torch,
He Guan listened to Lian Nu Baihuo's translation and pondered for a moment.

Looking at General Renduo who was already dead on the chair beside him, his eyes lit up and he said, "Tell them to wait for a while and say that General Renduo is unconscious."

Lian Nu Baihuo nodded in agreement.

After another hour of fooling around like this,

Someone is talking in front.

Hearing that the son of a powerful official wanted to see General Renduo, He Guan looked hesitant.

"The Iron Harrier is putting on his armor, and he said he's going to charge into battle if he doesn't see the general!"

Another report from Bu Bazi was translated by Lian Nu Baihuo.

He Guan said in a deep voice: "How about it?"

Lian Nubai said anxiously: "Listen!"

He Guan was stunned.

"The Keyi Gate has been established!"

"The Keyi Gate has been established!"

"Great Zhou will win! Great Zhou will win!"

In the darkness, faint calls came from the distant mountains.

He Guan looked incredulous:
"It's Zhu who commands them!"

"The Keyimen Fortress was captured?"

Under the torch, Lian Nu Baihuo didn't know what expression he should have.

"We've captured the fortress, so let them come over if they want! Let's let them go!"

Hearing He Guan's words, Lian Nu Baihuo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave the order.

Subsequently,

An Iron Harrier came on horseback, saw General Renduo sitting on the chair and already dead, then rode away.

Beyond the mountains,

Not far south of Keyimen Fortress,

On the way to Xingqing Prefecture,

in the dark,
There was the sound of horse hooves.

A group of people rode their horses southward, holding torches.

Listening to the distant shouts of "Great Zhou will win!"

Xu Zaijing and others, who were wearing the light-colored cloaks of the Baigao cavalry, couldn't help but laugh.

When the news of the victory at Keyi Gate reached Bianjing,
South of Xingzhou, Xingqing Prefecture, Baigao State.

Outside Lingzhou, the former capital of Baigao State,

General Cao, Marquis of Tuoxi, had already received the news.

in the air,

Stones were thrown at the Lingzhou city walls like rain by catapults.

Beyond the city wall,

Looking at the tens of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers preparing to attack the city,
Listening to the sound of the mountains cheering for victory,
The old general's face was full of solemnity.

Just as they were about to raise their flags to attack,
But I saw that under the Lingzhou city wall, the heavy city gate was slowly opening!
