-----------------------------------------------------------

Qin Zongshou, the owner of Langya Village, was more than seven feet long and had an ugly face. He made a spear made of iron and weighed 36 catties.He was a mercenary in his early years, and later also a horse thief. He has unstoppable courage and is nicknamed Spike.There are more than [-] people in Langya Village, occupying Qinglang Mountain. In recent years, some people have tried to attack Langya Village. The enemy repelled.

Li Jing came to surrender, but Qin Zongshou refused without even thinking about it.Although I heard that this Li Jing is the new protector of Anton by the imperial court, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, he is not willing to give up the free life of the king of the mountain, but to be someone else's subordinate.

Standing on the wall of the village, he saw the tide of soldiers, the forest of guns, and the sea of ​​flags, and he couldn't help but change slightly.Seeing that even the flag of Duli Town was among them, he couldn't help but frown.

Drums and horns sounded together, and soldiers and horses from the mountain began to come.Qin Zongshou ordered to guard the stronghold, preparing to repel the invading soldiers as before.

The Eastern Army at the foot of the mountain did not attack, but held the formation at the foot of the mountain, while 6000 troops from various departments in Liaodong swarmed to attack the mountain.It was Wang Pu, the lord of Duli Town, who led the troops here this time, since the last World War I was forced to negotiate a peace.Now Duli Town is extremely weak.Especially after the Zhendong Army occupied Qingni and Beisha City.Qingni City is based on Qingni Port.Being very close to them, threatening them at any time.And Beisha City even blocked the passage from Duli Town to the hinterland of Liaodong. It can be said that in terms of strategic position, Duli Town is now completely surrounded by the Zhendong Army, and its throat is stuck.

What's even more ominous is that Li Jing was appreciated by the emperor, and he was promoted to general and duke of the county.He also paid homage to Ziqing Marshal Song Wei as his righteous father and served as the governor of Dengzhou. Now he leads the Zhendong Army and was awarded the post of Anton Governor by the court. The entire Liaodong and Liaoxi are under Li Jing's jurisdiction.

With such a change, even the families behind Duli Town had to change their original idea of ​​confrontation and strengthen their relationship with Li Jing, hoping to continue to maintain the status quo of the Free Trade City.

A few days ago, my daughter Wang Wanjun went back to Duli Town.This is after the daughter married Li Jing.Going home for the first time.Originally, I was worried that my daughter would be wronged, and my life would not be good there.But I didn't expect my daughter to mature a lot.Already a few months pregnant.She doesn't seem to have any regrets about marrying Li Jing.On the contrary, after the daughter returned to Duli Town, the first thing she did when she met him was to persuade him to join Li Jing.

Before his daughter Wanjun got married, Wang Pu valued her very much. He often asked her about some uncertain things, and he could get satisfactory answers every time.Wang Pu could see that it was not because her daughter was married to Li Jing that her heart turned to Li Jing.

"Duli Town is just an isolated city now. If Li Jing really wants to deal with Duli Town, he doesn't need to attack the city. He just needs to cut off the connection between the water and land. Duli Town is a big city with tens of thousands of people. It will be chaotic within a year or two. Now my husband holds the army of Zhendong Army in his hands, Song Wei supports Ziqing Town, and the emperor and the princes support him in the court. Even many families in Duli Town are already secretly doing business with him. business."

Wang Wanjun persuaded him: "Surrendering now can be regarded as the icing on the cake. If my husband takes over the other forces in southern Liaoning, then Duli Town will return to me at that time, and my husband will not be happy. Aye just Look at Uncle Pei Shi, now he has become the judge of the Zhendong Army, and also serves as the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Zhendong Army. My husband values ​​it very much. If Aye can take the initiative to join him, he will send a big city like Duli Town to Baijiang. With my husband, we will definitely get more respect."

Wang Pu was also a little moved, but he was still worried: "Li Jing was born, and the situation in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning is constantly changing. It can be expected that the chaotic situation in southern Liaoning for more than a hundred years will come to an end. With the strong presence of the Eastern Army, Duli Town will also lose its existence. However, it is not easy to take this step to completely surrender to Li Jing. Although I am the lord of the city, Duli Town directly controls 36 big families and 72 other families. On behalf of the family."

"If you don't do it, how can you know the result? Aye, look at Pei Shishu, then at the Li family in Qingni City, and the Guo family in Beisha City. They are all important in Li Jing's Zhendong Army now. Location. Even the Xiao family, the Han family, and the Cui family have important seats. With the Zhendong Army, it is impossible for Duli Town to return to its previous state. If you return early, you can get better position." Wang Wanjun paused, "My daughter is now pregnant with the Li family's flesh and blood, but the two younger sisters of the Pei family and the eldest wife and the second wife are also pregnant. Now the daughter's status in the Li family is no different, Aye If you can submit to my husband, it will not only be extremely beneficial to my royal family, but also extremely beneficial to my daughter."

Wang Wanjun's words finally moved Wang Pu. In this changing situation, Wang family's interests, his daughter's interests, and his interests were intertwined, so he had to consider it comprehensively.

After making up his mind, Wang Pu began to contact some families who tended to belong to Li Jing.For many families in Duli Town, Duli Town is just a loose alliance of interests. They have no idea of ​​competing for Liaodong, etc., and their purpose is only to make money.Right now, Duli Town is already losing money. If it continues to fight against Li Jing, it is very likely that it will continue to lose money. Naturally, they don't want to see such a result.

They want to continue to maintain the previous state, but they also know that such a situation will be difficult.In the end, under the lobbying of Wang Pu, Feng Changgui, and the Pei family, nearly half of the families did not object to belonging to Li Jing.But they hope that this attachment is just a gesture, and they still hope that Duli Town will continue to maintain the status quo.

For this request, Li Jing pondered for a long time after seeing Zheng Jiezhi, the representative of Duli Town who came back with Wang Wanjun, and finally agreed.It is a good thing that Duli Town can take the initiative to surrender.Although not a real attachment.But it's already good progress.Li Jing didn't want to act too hastily.Instead, push them to the opposite side.

After discussing with Li Liang, Li Zhen and others, Li Jing combined the three cities of Duli Town, Qingni City, and Beisha City into the Liaonan Dudufu. Li Meng of Qingni City is the long history, and Wang Zhong of Beisha City is the Sima.In addition, the original officials of Duli Town, Qingni City, and Beisha City were awarded official positions such as military affairs, military affairs, military affairs, warehouse, household, military, and law.

Although the three cities are integrated into one Dudufu.But Duli Town hasn't changed much.The Governor's Mansion is located in Beisha City. The original Duli Town has soldiers and horses. Li Jing asked them to form a separate town with 5000 troops.The three cities of Duli Town, Qingni City, and Beisha City were all set up as Shangxian County, and Wang Pu served as the county magistrate of Duli Town and the military envoy of Duli Town.Li Jing only transferred Pei You back to Duli Town as the deputy envoy.

For this result, Du Lizhen's reaction was to agree.

This time when Li Jing marched into southern Liaoning, Wang Pu and Pei You led [-] soldiers and horses to join Duli Town immediately, after this change.The thing that made Li Jing most happy.

This time Wang Pu not only brought nearly half of the current soldiers and horses in Duli Town, but also brought a lot of their magic weapon, Feihuo.The other troops in southern Liaoning charged forward.The soldiers and horses in Duli Town fell behind and advanced slowly.When they got under the cottage, the town soldiers in Duli began to assemble more than a dozen cannons.After they were assembled, Shicheng and other soldiers in front were fighting fiercely with Langya Village, but there was no progress.

Although all the soldiers and horses are relatively strong, facing the stone village built against the mountain, it is difficult to attack for a while.

Wang Pu and Pei You watched for a while, then ordered all the soldiers and horses in Shicheng to retreat temporarily, and then ordered the planes to fire.A row of drums sounded, and more than a dozen cannons threw flying tins one after another.The flying fire with orange-red tail flame roared and hit the wall of the village, and exploded rumblingly.

Bursts of flames flew up, and violent explosions sounded, and the soldiers of Langya Village on the top of the city fell into the Nine Nether Hell.After one round of explosions, another round of flying fire attacks arrived.

After more than a dozen waves of Feihuo attacks, the soldiers of Langya Village were no longer standing on the wall.The sound of drums and horns from the foot of the mountain sounded again, at this time Shicheng and other troops rushed towards the village with shouts, vying for military exploits.

Although Qin Zongshou had the courage of ten thousand men, in the previous explosion, one of them happened to explode beside him. Fortunately, his personal soldiers blocked it for him, and he was wearing double-layer thick armor.Although he was not injured, the violent noise directly knocked him out.When he came back to his senses, the wall of the village had already been breached, and countless soldiers and horses rushed in.He tried to get up and organize a counterattack, but before he could stand still, he was stabbed in the neck by more than a dozen spears.Those soldiers were very smart, and they saw that this man was well-armored, and he was a leader at first glance.

Without the protection of the wall, Langya Village was quickly defeated in the face of soldiers and horses ten times their size.When Li Jing went up the mountain and entered Shizhai, all the soldiers and horses in southern Liaoning were already clearing out the last remnants of the enemy, and some even started to rob.

When Qin Zongshou was escorted in front of Li Jing, he was tied up.At this time, he was much more awake, and seeing Li Jing surrounded by everyone, he also knew that this person might be Li Jing who led the troops to attack his cottage.Immediately yelling: "What kind of tricks do you have, you have the guts to come out and fight grandpa for [-] rounds!"

Li Jing saw that this man was majestic and mighty, so he couldn't help but change his mind about killing him with a single blow.He smiled slightly, and a young general behind him had already stepped forward, "Young commander, Liu Xun invites you to fight, and is willing to compete with this fellow."

Although Liu Xun was young, Li Jing had seen all of his abilities before, and he still had the prestige of Liu Xun in history in his memory.Therefore, although Liu Xun is only his deputy general of the bodyguard and the head of the bodyguard, Li Jing has the most plan to train him.Seeing him ask for a fight now, knowing that this is also an opportunity for him to become famous.Liu Xun was just a surrendered general from Wang Jingwu's side. Many people in the army were dissatisfied with his high position as deputy general, so this was a good time for him to show off his strength.

Immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, you are allowed to fight. But remember to stop, don't hurt anyone."

A soldier over there untied Qin Zongshou's rope and returned his 36-jin heavy-duty iron gun to him.Qin Zongshou, who was holding an iron gun in his hand, was dissatisfied when he saw that a boy with no hair on his face wanted to challenge him.Hearing Li Jing's words again, he screamed angrily.

"Is there no one in the Zhendong Army? Send a little boy to fight. I am not afraid that I will shoot him to death with an iron gun. I still advise you to change quickly. There are really no one, two or three together is fine. "

Li Jing smiled and said to Qin Zongshou: "Don't be full of big words first. It is said in southern Liaoning that you Qin Zongshou is invincible with an iron gun, but I think this is just your bragging. To deal with you, one of my guards Long enough. If you can defeat him, then you are qualified to challenge others."

Qin Zongshou said angrily: "Then don't blame me for not reminding me in advance. Countless people died under my big gun. Today, I will add another one. Hey, that brat, report your name. My gun will kill you." Immortal Nameless Ghost!"

Liu Xun stood there with a cold face, holding a four-meter-long horse spear in his hand, and replied coldly to Qin Zongshou's hateful words: "That black man, listen carefully, I am Zhendong Army envoy Li Jungong's bodyguard and deputy ten general of the Silver Spear Guard Battalion, his name is Liu Xun. Remember my name. You will know who defeated you in a while. Don't talk nonsense, let's do it!"

Yin Leng vibrated.With a little cold light, the lance dances like a dragon.

Qin Zongshou's prestige of unstoppable bravery is naturally not a bragging.Immediately, with a wave of the iron spear, like a dragon sailing out to sea, it went straight to Liu Xun.

The two generals stepped down to fight in front of Li Jing, one with a lance and the other with a gun. The silver lance weighed 36 jin, which was considered a heavy weapon, while Qin Zongshou's black iron gun was even more domineering, weighing [-] jin. .A young general with a silver spear and a giant man with an iron gun, the two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was brilliant, which opened the eyes of the people watching the battle and shouted it was wonderful.Li Jing was also a little surprised, he had seen Liu Xun's abilities before, and in terms of personal martial arts alone, he could rank among the top ten in the Zhendong Army.But Qin Zongshou's iron spear danced, opened and closed, and was extremely powerful. It was obviously not a wild way, but a routine kung fu that had been passed down by a master.

Both of them were attacking with all their strength. Looking from a distance, there were spears and spears everywhere, like a fight between two dragons, one black and one silver.In the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed, and the two are still fighting extremely fiercely, and the fighting between the two is getting more and more intense. In the end, they have completely ignored defense and blindly attacked. .

When the fight reached a fierce point, the two roared at the same time, and both stabbed at each other fiercely.Li Jing was shocked when he saw it, it was completely a bet on who was more daring.At this time, as long as one person retreats to defend, he will be at a disadvantage, and may even be defeated with one move.

But Li Jing saw that these two were desperate guys, and no one would take the initiative to withdraw their moves to defend.

"Stop!" Li Jing yelled, snatched the horse lance that the guards were holding for him, and with a leap, the lance danced with an afterimage, piercing directly into the middle of the two, with a fierce blow that set fire to the sky With a strong momentum, he used all his strength to violently provoke the spears of the two. "The two are tied, there is no need to fight again!"

Liu Xun and Qin Zongshou were separated by Li Jing. At this time, they retreated to the two sides, panting heavily, but staring at each other like red-eyed bulls.However, Li Jing had already announced the result, and the two had no choice but to obey.

The two stared at each other for a long time, Qin Zongshou suddenly laughed: "I underestimated you just now, Liu Xun, yes, you are the number one who can persist for so long under my big iron gun. However, what I am more convinced is that although you are young, you are full of courage, and you have a kind of desperate aura when you fight. I guess you will not dodge the last shot just now!"

Liu Xun said coldly: "If you don't hide, how can I hide!"

"Hahaha!" After speaking, both of them suddenly burst into laughter. They both felt very happy to meet such an opponent.

After laughing, Qin Zongshou turned his head to Li Jing and knelt down on one knee and said, "All the guards under the Duke of the county have such abilities. I am convinced of the strength of the Zhendong army. Especially the one of the Duke of the county just now, it is really irreplaceable." Picky, the Duke's kung fu is still higher than me and Brother Liu. I am willing to surrender, and I ask the Duke to let me and everyone in Langya Village."

Li Jing was carrying his hands on his back at this time, and his hands were still numb. This Qin Zongshou is a fierce general.Originally, he wanted to destroy Langya village and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, but now he couldn't help but feel pity for his talent, so he nodded immediately, and personally stepped forward to help him up: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the legendary unstoppable brave man!" Well, since you are willing to join us, the military envoy will now organize your troops in Langya Village into a battalion, named Langya. From now on, you will be the top ten generals of Langya Battalion. "

In the first battle just now, the casualties on both sides were not large.Under the bombardment of the flying fire in Duli Town, most of the soldiers in Langya Village retreated from the wall, and then they were rushed up by various ministries and broke the city directly.Langya Village originally had more than a thousand soldiers and horses, but only more than two hundred people died in battle. After adding some young and strong men in the village, there were a total of 1000 people.

As soon as Qin Zongshou saw that he was attached, Li Jing gave him the position of ten generals of the battalion, and let him lead his subordinates to form a separate battalion. He was very satisfied.

At that moment, the soldiers and civilians in Langya Village who were originally captured were also released.Qin Zongshou ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, and rewarded the Zhendong Army and the soldiers and horses of various ministries in southern Liaoning.After this battle, all ministries in southern Liaoning saw that even a fierce man like Qin Zongshou was defeated in a single battle, and they couldn't help feeling a little more in awe of Li Jing in their hearts.One of Li Jing's bodyguards in the Zhendong Army can evenly defend Langya Qin Zong, who has long been famous in southern Liaoning. One can imagine how powerful the Zhendong Army is.

Especially seeing that Wang Pu in Duli Town is working so hard, it seems that they have really taken refuge in Li Jing.In the past, the various ministries only fell to Li Jing because of the great war between the Khitan people and the Goguryeo people. They were not really willing to join Li Jing from now on, but now, they had to reconsider their decision. (To be continued..)
