Chapter 180: Kill the previous generals, fight again and win again (Previous)

Right West Gate.

Amid the chaotic sound of horse hooves, Ma Sifeng appeared in the city gate surrounded by a group of northern cavalry. After entering the city gate, he first glanced at the group of silent refugees with a bright look, and then turned around to ask the cavalry general who was responsible for guarding the city gate and said, "Xiao Jiu, no one escaped from here, right?"

The cavalry general who was responsible for guarding the city gate stepped forward and replied loudly: "Don't worry, General, even a fly can't escape."

"That's good." Ma Sifeng nodded and said with a grim voice, "Everyone shows off the guy in his hand. If anyone dares to break into the city gate, he will be killed without hesitation!"

The light cavalry guarding the city gate responded with a loud promise and lifted out the battle sword.

Witnessing the dazzling cold light, hundreds of refugees who were blocked in the city gate and dared not escape were even more frightened. Qiu Fengjin, who was hiding in the crowd, even lowering his head to his chest, for fear that these ferocious enemy cavalry would discover his identity. Qiu Fengjin's only thing he could pray for now was that these enemy cavalry should not kill in Xijing and leave as soon as possible after robbing.

When the autumn wind was feeling uneasy, another chaotic sound of horse hooves sounded, but this time it came from the streets in the city.

Through the crack of the man, the autumn wind looked around and found a group of glorious imperial troops galloping along the long street. The middle-aged man was riding his horse in front of him. The middle-aged man had thick eyebrows, a heroic appearance, and five long beards fluttering in the wind. He had a rather elegant style of a scholar.

Qiu Fengjin's eyebrows frowned in an instant. This man seemed to be familiar, and seemed to have seen him somewhere?

Among the crowd of people riding horses, the middle-aged man with a handsome appearance seemed to be aware of it. While riding horses, he turned his head and his bright eyes swept towards the direction where Qiu Fengjin was. The two of them were instantly connected in the air. Qiu Fengjin was shocked and lowered his head quickly, not daring to face the middle-aged man's eyes anymore.

The middle-aged man with a handsome appearance seemed to be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and continued to ride forward.

When Ma Sifeng, who was talking, heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and turned around quickly, he saw that Meng Hu's second aide Jia Wudao was galloping towards him with dozens of horseman cavalry. He quickly rode his horse to meet him, clasped his fists on the horse's back and said, "Mr. Jia, how dare you come to the right west gate?"

Jia Wudao clasped his fists and said, "General Sifeng is so serious, haha."

Ma Sifeng stopped the horse and gave way: "Mr. Jia is relieved, the 20,000 cavalrymen in his humble position have surrounded the entire Xijing, and even a mouse will definitely not be able to escape."

Jia Wudao waved his hand and said, "That's right. The general is worried that there will be tunnels in Mingyue Palace that secretly lead to the city. If the emperor of Mingyue Empire escapes from the tunnel, it will be a big mistake. So he wants General Sifeng to send more cavalry to cruise within 30 miles of Xijing to ensure that there is no accident."

"oops!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Sifeng slapped his forehead suddenly and said ashamed, "If it weren't for the gentleman's reminder, the general would have been almost broken. Come!"

A servant came forward and responded, "What are the instructions of the general?"

Ma Sifeng shouted: "I ordered each cavalry corps to immediately divide two brigades into a radius of thirty miles in the Western Beijing. No living creatures are allowed to escape in this area. If you want to see people in your life or corpses in your life!"

"yes!"

The attendant responded with a loud promise and rode his horse away.

Ma Sifeng had made a decision to distribute the order, and he smiled and said to Jia Wudao: "Sir, do you have any instructions?"

Jia Wudao shook his head, frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I just saw a familiar figure in the crowd, but when I looked carefully, I disappeared. It was really strange."

"Acquaintance?" Ma Sifengqi said, "Sir, have an acquaintance here? Could it be that sir, is it a dazzling?"

"Maybe." Jia Wudao shook his head and said with some uncertainty, "I didn't know a few acquaintances in the Mingyue Empire, maybe I was really confused."

"Hi."

Ma Sifeng thought for a while and said, "Didn't the general say that he would rather kill the wrong person, but let him go. No matter whether he is an acquaintance he knows, there is nothing wrong now. Let's find a way to determine whether the person the gentleman just saw was a man or a woman? An old man, an adult or a child?"

Jia Wudao thought for a moment and said with great certainty: "It's a man, and an adult."

"Okay." Ma Sifeng pulled out the battle knife, and the sharp blade faced the group of bright moon refugees in front of him, shouting grimly, "Now everyone listens, all men stay in place, all women go there! Fucking listen, those who stay in place, or those who pretend to be women go there, will be killed without any worries!"

As Ma Sifeng finished speaking, hundreds of cavalrymen behind him raised their swords at the same time and shouted loudly: "Don't kill!"

Hundreds of refugees trapped near the city gate suddenly became turbulent. Although the women were frightened, they still obediently walked to the area designated by Ma Sifeng. Many of the men left in the same place were the husbands and sons of those women. They thought the Glorious Imperial Army was going to do something beastly. Fire was spewed out of their eyes, but they did not dare to resist when facing the enemy's butcher knife.

No matter the old or young, beautiful or ugly, until all the women arrived at the designated area, Ma Sifeng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now, all the elderly and children have passed by. Adult men over 18 and under 40 years old stayed in place and kept moving. The same thing, if anyone dared not listen to the greeting, he would kill him without hesitation!"

All the children under the age of 18 and elderly people over forty also obediently walked to the designated area, leaving only more than a hundred adult men.

Qiu Fengjin, who was hiding in it, suddenly felt a strong uneasy. He had a premonition that something was going to happen because he had already remembered who the middle-aged man was. Isn’t that the middle-aged man the chief aide who had been on mission to Xijing with Qin Changwei, the Crown Prince of the Galaxy Empire, a few years ago? It seemed that he was called Jia. Although he couldn’t remember his name, Qiu Fengjin was deeply impressed by this peerless and amazing appearance. Qiu Fengjin was still quite jealous after seeing him.

"Yes." Ma Sifeng stared at the remaining hundreds of adult men like a wolf, shouting in a grim voice, "All stand up, lift your head!"

The adult man closest to Ma Sifeng tilted his head and snorted from his nostrils. Ma Sifeng's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. He looked back at Jia Wudao. Jia Wudao shook his head. The sword in Ma Sifeng's hand slashed down fiercely on the Mingyue man. Blood splattered and the head was thrown away. The Mingyue man had no time to scream and his body had already split.

The man from Mingyue nearby was shocked when he saw this and immediately became turbulent. Ma Sifeng raised his sword high and shouted sternly: "Don't move, otherwise you will be killed without any attention!"

Hundreds of cavalry behind Ma Sifeng rushed up, surrounded more than a hundred Mingyue men in the middle, raised their swords and shouted: "Don't kill them!"

Facing the sharp butcher knife, the more than a hundred bright moon men dared not act rashly anymore.

Ma Sifeng smiled grimly and shouted again: "Stand up, raise your head!"

This time, no one dared to resist stubbornly. Almost all the Mingyue men stood up straight and obediently raised their heads. Only Qiu Fengjin, who was mixed in the crowd, dared not raise his head. In fact, he was also guilty. If he really raised his head, Jia Wudao might not be able to recognize it based on his current bruised nose and swollen face, but he was guilty and did not dare to raise his head, but he showed a huge flaw.

Ma Sifeng's gaze like a wolf suddenly fell on Qiu Fengjin and shouted sternly: "You, come out!"

Qiu Feng was like a sieve, but he was still standing there without moving. Two cavalrymen rode their horses and rushed to Qiu Fengjin's face. One of the cavalry reached out and grabbed Qiu Fengjin's collar, took him out of the crowd, and came outside the crowd. When the cavalry relaxed his hands, Qiu Fengjin fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ma Sifeng looked up and down at Qiu Fengjin, then turned around and looked at Jia Wudao.

Jia Wudao turned over and got off the horse, came to Qiu Fengjin and paced around him twice, and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

Qiu Fengjin was caught off guard and responded instinctively: "I am...uh..."

When Qiu Fengjin realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and the word "子" that he vomited from his mouth ruined the big thing.

Jia Wudao was overjoyed and smiled at the sky and said, "Hahaha, I? Do you claim to be me? So you are Qiu Fengjin, the emperor of the Mingyue Empire?"

Qiu Feng sighed sadly, knowing that he could not escape the disaster today, so he had to dust off his clothes, clean up his long hair, and sighed: "The king of a defeated country dares not be regarded as respectful. I was indeed the emperor of the Mingyue Empire, but since the moment Xijing fell, I have been no longer the emperor of the empire."

"Hahaha." Jia Wudao laughed, "Come here, immediately change the emperor's clothes and wash his face, and then take him to see the general!"

Ma Sifeng also said happily: "Sir, since the emperor of the Mingyue Empire has been arrested, can the siege of Xijing City be cancelled? After all, it is quite hard to let the brothers cruising outside the city for a while. Besides, the opportunity is rare, the brothers of the Cavalry Division also want to go into the city to make some fortune, hehehe."

Ma Sifeng's meaning was very obvious. Seeing the soldiers of the Western Legion make a fortune in Xijing City, they were also jealous and wanted to enter the city to get a share of the pie. However, his cavalry division was affiliated with the Northern Legion and was not Meng Hu's direct line. In terms of closeness and alienation, they were not as good as the four direct line divisions of the Western Legion, and even Xiong Batian's barbarian cavalry.

"This..." Jia Wudao thought for a while and said, "It should be better for the sir to ask the general."

"Okay." Ma Sifeng flattened his mouth and said with a bitter face, "Oh, who made us a member of the Northern Legion, not a member of the Western Legion? This person is incomparable to people."

Although Jia Wudao was careful, he ignored Ma Sifeng on his face. After someone changed the clothes and washed Qiu Fengjin's face, he hurriedly took the heavyweight prisoner to see Meng Hu. Qiu Fengjin's whereabouts were unknown. Meng Hu didn't know how anxious he was, so he couldn't let the boss worry, right?

Three hundred miles north of Xijing.

Yan Shisanzheng, the governor of Shuozhou of the Mingyue Empire, led the 80,000 light cavalry of the Shuozhou Legion to move south quickly!

Yan Shisan's Shuozhou army received a letter from Qiu Yutang's flying pigeon a hundred miles south of Daojian Gorge. Because the pigeon could only fly back to the fixed nest, Qiu Yutang's letter was first sent to Yunding City, the important town of Yunzhou, and then sent it to Yan Shisan's army by Yunding City. After receiving the letter from Qiu Yutang's flying pigeon, Yan Shisan did not dare to be negligent and immediately accelerated the marching speed and headed south to support the imperial capital day and night.

A rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. Yan Shisan turned around and saw that it was his eldest son Yan Shisian.

The old Yan family in Shuozhou has a unique custom, that is, each generation of the eldest son of the Yan family must be given a serial number. For example, the first generation of the Yan family was Yan Ada, the second generation was Yan Aer, then Yan Asan and Yan Asi, Yan Ashi, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, Yan Shier, and Yan Shier's son, who had no son, then Yan Shier, inherited the name of Yan Shier and became the next generation of Yan's head.

Yan Shisi rode his horse to catch up with Yan Shisan and said in a deep voice: "Father, the snow is too deep. Such a marching speed is very arduous. Even if the army arrives in Xijing, it is probably not very effective. The child thought that if he sent a light cavalry to rush to the imperial capital at night, then his father led the main army to move south at normal marching speed?"

"inappropriate!"

Yan Shisan waved his hand and said solemnly, "Didn't you see that Qiu Yutang's tone of sending a letter from Fei Ge is very strict, and there is no room for maneuver. If he did not fight his life to go south to support the imperial capital this time, after finishing the Guanghui Empire Army, Qiu Yutang will turn around and deal with our Yan family in Shuozhou!"

Yan Shisi said thoughtfully: "Father, do you think Qiu Yutang can deal with the Guanghui Empire Army this time?"

"That's more," Yan Shisan said with certainty, "Three years ago, Qiu Yutang was just a little yellow-haired girl with a stinky and unscathed hair, but she had to deal with the Eight Kings with three million soldiers with two untrained recruits. Qiu Yutang is no longer the yellow-haired girl he used to be, and she is full of talents. The Guanghui Empire Army looks very powerful, but it's just a group of scary things. Only Meng Hu still has some real skills. It's a pity that Meng Hu doesn't control the army. How could they be Qiu Yutang's opponent?"

"What my father said is reasonable." Yan Shisi said deeply, "It seems that we can't really give false advice this time."

"Have it done, son." Yan Shisan sighed, "As long as Qiu Yutang's hands are still alive, our Shuozhou Yan family will never have the chance to restore the country. It will only give people an excuse to bring disaster to the entire family."

Yan Shisi said solemnly: "Kids keep in mind their father's teachings. As long as Qiu Yutang is here, our Yan family will never have the idea of ​​restoring the country!"

Two hundred miles south of Xijing.

Gongsun Xiangzheng, the governor of Youzhou of Mingyue Empire, led 60,000 infantrymen from the Youzhou Army to support Xijing day and night.

Like Yan Shisan, Gongsun Xiang also received a letter from Qiu Yutang to send a pigeon, but the tone in the letter was much gentler. After all, the situation in Youzhou is different from Shuozhou. Youzhou was already the inherent territory of the Mingyue Empire hundreds of years ago, unlike Shuozhou, which was incorporated into the Mingyue Empire in nearly 50 years.

However, the power of the Gongsun family in Youzhou is not weaker than that of the Yan family in Shuozhou.

The governor of Youzhou, Gongsun Xiang, also has an outstanding advantage that is that he has thirteen sons. When it comes to the thirteen guns of the Gongsun family in Youzhou, looking at the entire Mingyue Empire, no governor does not envy him. There are more than his sons, and no one can match Gongsun Xiang. But it would be difficult to have thirteen sons like Gongsun Xiang.

The eldest son Gongsun Ao rode his horse to Gongsun Xiang and said in a deep voice: "Father, the imperial capital is less than two hundred miles north. However, the soldiers were exhausted after marching overnight. Should they rest for a long time before continuing the march? Otherwise, even if they barely arrived at the imperial capital, they would not have much combat power."

"No."

Gongsun Xiang shook his head and said worriedly, "Although His Highness the Moon King didn't say much in the letter, I know very clearly that the imperial capital is now empty. In addition to the three thousand imperial guards who guard the imperial city, they can barely go to the battlefield, there are only the thousands of guards who guard the Nine Gates. But those guards are all mobs and are vulnerable at all, so we must rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and at all costs, even if we know that the entire army will be destroyed, we must rush to the full rescue."

Gongsun Ao said in shock: "Father..."

Gongsun Xiang waved his hand and stopped Gongsun Ao and said, "Aoer, remember that once the imperial capital Xijing is lost, the destruction of the entire empire will be unprecedented, and the bad consequences will be unimaginable. As imperial soldiers, we must not tolerate such a bad situation! Do you understand?"

Gongsun Ao took a breath and said solemnly: "You guy understand!"

Two hundred miles east of Xijing.

Situ Rui, the governor of Qingzhou in Mingyue Empire, led 8,000 Qingzhou soldiers who had lived for the rest of their lives to help Xijing at night.

Situ Rui fought countless wars throughout his life, and he made countless contributions for the Mingyue Empire. It seems that this time he was aiding Xijing was just another journey in his military career, but Situ Rui had a very bad premonition that this time he was arriving Xijing may become his last journey in his military career!

Although he has never told anyone about it, Situ Rui knew very well that the situation in the imperial capital was not optimistic!

Relying on the three thousand imperial guards and thousands of guards in the imperial capital to block the fierce attack of the Tiger Legion? It was simply whimsical. Only idiots had this naive idea. Situ Rui and Meng Hu had dealt with him. He knew that this person was powerful. In front of the Tiger Legion, the defenders in Xijing would definitely not last for three days!

Situ Rui’s only hope now is that the defenders in Xijing City can hold on for three days!

In three days, only three days, eight thousand Qingzhou soldiers could arrive at Xijing. Situ Rui knew very well that his eight thousand Qingzhou soldiers would never be able to defeat the group of tiger and wolf troops under Meng Hu. Situ Rui only hoped to bind Meng Hu and then wait for the arrival of the two major legions of Shuozhou and Youzhou. As long as these two legions arrived, the situation would completely change!
