Horse on the World

Chapter 2 Escape
The autumn wind whimpered, blowing up the fallen leaves all over the ground, rolling and flying to the distance with boundless bleakness, the dark clouds seemed to be pressed to the ground, the air was so dull that it seemed to explode, and there was an endless stream of refugees dragging their children, Continuously running towards Dingzhou, the largest city on the border of Great Chu.The Meadow Army was defeated, the [-] Chu border army collapsed, Dingyuan, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Fuyuan fortresses outside Dingzhou were all lost within a few days, and hundreds of thousands of Chu people were directly thrown to the barbarians, the barbarians The crazy burning, killing and looting turned countless villages into ruins, corpses littered the fields everywhere, and countless Dingkou were captured. The black smoke from the burning villages covered the sky and the sun, and the entire periphery of Dingzhou was filled with gloom.
At this time, Li Qing, who was still far away from Dingzhou City, was sitting cross-legged on the hillside. The few days of fleeing made him exhausted, and it also made him understand many things. Soldiers may be in groups, or galloping horses roaring past. Everyone has only one goal, and that is Dingzhou City, where there are still strong walls and tens of thousands of troops to protect their own safety.

Looking up at the sky, I couldn't help but smile wryly, I somehow came to this era, and possessed this guy named Li Qing, I don't know if I have some evil debts from my previous life that I need to pay in this life.Right now, I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad. It's good to be alive, but in this world, I really don't know how long I can live.

Over the past few days, I have been merging the memory of this body non-stop, and also inheriting the original inheritance of this body. If you say that Li Qing's body is amazing, it is much stronger than the self in the previous life. The eight distinctive muscles on the abdomen are impossible for the guy who dreamed of having it in his previous life but was too lazy to exercise.And this guy's life experience is also quite interesting.Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth opened again, and the injury on his leg started to hurt again, damn it, I don't know if I will get rabies, and I cursed in my heart.

"Lieutenant, let's go!" A bearded man behind him buzzed angrily.At this moment, behind Li Qing, dozens of rout soldiers have followed. These people are people gathered around Li Qing while he was fleeing all the way. These people are not good people, and some of them want to rob Li Qing of weapons. Some surrendered after being knocked down by Li Qing, and some of them met when Li Qing organized an ambush against the single barbarians.

"Let's go!" Li Qing stood up. The army of barbarians has been wandering outside. Don't look at the few barbarians who were alone a few days ago. His group rushed forward and killed them happily. It's definitely a meat bun beating a dog, throwing it inside can't even stir up a splash.At this time, being one step closer to Dingzhou will give you a little more security. After all, there are still [-] Chu border troops guarding Dingzhou.

At this time, Li Qing could no longer think about anything. Living is his only purpose now. As for other things, let's take a step and see. The hatred in his eyes made Li Qing secretly worried that at some point these irrational refugees would rush forward and tear himself to pieces.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was still holding a spear in his hand and a saber in his waist, Li Qing believed that these people would definitely kill him. In the past few days, even when he was sleeping, Li Qing would have to keep his eyes half open.But the unbearable insults still penetrated into his ears from time to time, Li Qing was speechless about this, he felt that these refugees had a reason to hate them soldiers, although he was somewhat innocent.From their meager income, in addition to paying taxes to the court, they also need to add border taxes in Dingzhou, and these border taxes are precisely used to support soldiers like themselves.
Taking other people's offerings, it is natural to protect the safety of others, but they didn't do it. Thinking of this, Li Qing felt a little ashamed. Amid these insults, Li Qing, Lieutenant Yunhui, lowered his head and said nothing.

But the soldiers around Li Qing didn't think so. Hearing the unbearable cursing, all of them showed ferocious faces, "Lieutenant Li, they bully people too much!" Wang Qinian with a beard He gritted his teeth, "Isn't it that I don't fight desperately, and I killed a few barbarians at least under the sword, but what's the use of that? If the army collapses, if I don't run, I will die in vain?"

The lean cavalryman Jiang Kui had a gloomy face, and he glanced from time to time at the tall maroon horse that was only a hundred meters away from him. It was his mount, which was snatched away by a group of refugees the day before yesterday.At that time, he was alone, and he was almost beaten to death. If his martial arts were not good, he would have died.Today I saw his horse again, which was tied to a cart by those refugees and used as a draft horse.

"Lieutenant, I am a cavalryman, and the horse is my life. Such a good war horse is actually used as a draft horse by them. In a few days, this horse will be useless."
More than a dozen soldiers gathered around Li Qing, "Lieutenant, you order, I'll fuck you, I've had enough of this anger." For a while, the crowd was raging, although it was a rout, but after all, they had been on the battlefield Those who had seen blood gathered together at this time, and the momentum was soaring. They all looked at Li Qing expectantly, as long as Li Qing gave an order, they would start fighting. When the soldiers fought, the refugees would flee at the sight of blood.At that time, it will be like a tiger driving a flock of sheep.

A small man in the rout quietly took out a short knife from his boots. The blade stuck to his forearm. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth. It is looking for the target to start with.This guy's name is Feng Guo, and I don't know what his original job is, but judging by the way he holds the knife, he is a good murderer.

The drumming noise of these soldiers alerted the refugees gathered not far from them. Seeing this group of rout soldiers with fierce eyes, the refugees couldn't help becoming timid, and involuntarily backed away slowly. The road was quiet.
Li Qing pulled out his saber suddenly, the defeated soldiers couldn't help showing joy in their eyes, Jiang Kui even raised his foot and wanted to run towards his horse.

"Shut up!" Li Qing yelled angrily. Amidst the astonished expressions of the defeated soldiers, Li Qing raised his saber and said, "These people scolded well. We were soldiers on food to protect them. We defeated them. Let their wives be separated and their families destroyed, they have reason to hate us. Whoever dares to hurt these refugees, I will kill him. Be honest with me."

Everyone was silent, Jiang Kui withdrew his feet in frustration. They were all veterans who had been in the barracks all year round. , the rout, and the skirmishers must accept the unified command of all the officers he can meet who are higher than his military rank, otherwise, he will be beheaded.What's more, after getting along with Li Qing these days, everyone was also impressed by his courage, escaped all the way, and they killed dozens of barbarians alone.

Li Qing inserted the saber back into the scabbard, but he was very grateful in his heart. Fortunately, these defeated soldiers still had a little bit of discipline and sense of shame. Fortunately, he was still a school captain, otherwise, today would not end well , I was injured, but Wang Qinian and others are in good shape, judging from their bodies, if I really want to fight one-on-one, I may not be the opponent.

Seeing this group of defeated soldiers die down again, the surrounding curses sounded again, and seeing the changing expressions of the surrounding people, Li Qing was worried that he would lose control of the situation, and couldn't help hating the refugees around him, damn it, You can bully a broken soldier, but there are more than a dozen here, and all of them have seen blood. If you really want to fight, you are worth the fart.

"Let's go, the humiliation we have suffered here today, we will ask the barbarians to get it back." Li Qing leaned on a spear and walked towards Dingzhou.
At this time, Dingzhou was already under martial law throughout the city. Meadian soldiers were defeated and [-] frontier troops were wiped out, exposing the prosperous Dingzhou directly to the frontiers of the barbarians. Dingzhou has not seen war for decades. up.The originally bustling city seemed lifeless, the residents closed their doors, the shops closed, and there were hardly any people on the streets except for the troops running past in groups from time to time.
"Ma Mingfeng, you bastard." A roar from the Dingzhou camp was heard far away. Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dingzhou army, was so angry that he went mad with two guilds and six battalions, plus four fortresses and [-] soldiers. This is ruined, Dingzhou's door is wide open, and the strategic advantage over the barbarians that I have worked hard to maintain for many years is ruined. From today, Dingzhou's offensive and defensive positions will be changed.
The military system of Great Chu, one army and three associations, one association and three battalions, one battalion and three wings, one wing and three sentries, one sentry and three fruits, under Xiao Yuanshan's five years of hard work, the combat power of the Dingzhou army has improved extremely fast, but this One battle was unavoidable. Originally, the Sixth Battalion of the Zuoxie Zhongxie, plus the garrisons of the four military forts, marched forward with 3 people. The Xie was too far away, and was surrounded and defeated by the barbarian Da Shanyu who seized the opportunity to intersperse. In order to save him, he had to send out the Zhongxie. It can be said that he lost a little of the capital he had painstakingly managed for the past five years. Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help being angry, "General, please calm down. General Ma was defeated and his whereabouts are unknown. The most urgent thing is to ensure that Dingzhou is not lost before we can talk about other things." Xiao Yuanshan Shen Mingchen, the chief aide of his staff, was worried.Looking at Xiao Yuanshan who fled back with his helmet and armor thrown away, he persuaded him.

"Ma Mingfeng, I'm going to chop you up!" Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yuanshan drew his sword and hacked at the case. After a few strikes, the tiger's case was already chopped into pieces. The remaining anger was still there, and he raised his hand and threw the sword viciously. It flew out of the head of a soldier who had just stepped into the gate, and the helmet flew to that corner without knowing it.
The soldier was stunned, he opened his mouth wide to look at Xiao Yuanshan, opened and closed his lips, but didn't make a sound.
"What's the panic?" Xiao Yuanshan roared at the soldier.
This roar finally called back the soul of the soldier, "General, Lord Zhizhou please ask the general to discuss matters in the yamen."
