Chapter 88: Iron halberd Zhang Xingba

The staff of the Governor's Office were responsible for handling the donation of property and signing the land deeds. Meng Hu was not worried that these nobles and priests would be tricky. The Cavalry Regiment of War Eagle and the Guards of the Governor's Office would make them obedient. If they don't donate their property and sign the land deeds, they would rest and leave easily.

After all this was arranged, Meng Hu should leave again.

Zhao Qinghan reluctantly sent Meng Hu to the gate of the Governor's Office. Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned over her lips and kissed Meng Hu gently, and then said with concern: "Hu, if you offend Luo Daonan this time, he will definitely accuse you of the Holy See and His Majesty the Emperor. This matter is a bit troublesome."

"It's not just one Luo Daonan."

Meng Hu sneered, "Which guy is willing to donate property and land? As long as the Mingyue Empire Army retreats, they will turn against each other immediately. At that time, I don't know what to say to me in front of His Emperor. Humph, but I don't care. As long as I can keep the peace in the western provinces, I will do whatever I can, because I have promised Lei Ming."

"Thu, since the matter has already happened, don't worry too much."

Zhao Qinghan looked at Meng Hu with affection, and a strange divine suddenly appeared in his beautiful eyes, and said softly, "As long as you can turn the tide and defeat Situ Rui's bright moon army, your reputation will be at its peak. At that time, the entire empire will celebrate your heroic deeds, and the people of the entire western provinces will kneel at your feet and worship. Even if Luo Daonan and the others run to the imperial capital to complain, His Majesty the Emperor will not pay attention to them."

After saying this, two red clouds suddenly appeared on Zhao Qinghan's fair pink face, and then said, "What's more, you are now Qinghan's noble daughter's fiancé. We will officially get married when we fight back the Mingyue bandits. At that time, even if His Majesty the Emperor is dissatisfied with you, he will be jealous."

Zhao Qinghan's words are not timid. According to the imperial regulations, if Meng Hu really married Zhao Qinghan, the titles of Duke of the West and Governor of the West would certainly not fall on Meng Hu, but the title of Commander of the Western Legion would fall on Meng Hu indisputably. At that time, Meng Hu held an important position and held heavy troops. Once he transformed into a vassal official of the Glorious Empire, the imperial emperor would really have to consider the consequences if he wanted to move him.

Meng Hu smiled slightly and said, "I didn't take these clowns seriously at all."

Meng Hu did not take Western nobles and Western priests seriously, such as Luo Dao. This forced donation incident may have a negative impact on Meng Hu's reputation and leave him accusations among the aristocratic and priestly classes. But Meng Hu was not worried, because there were only eternal interests in this world, but no eternal interests with enemies and friends.

As long as Meng Hu is willing to make a profit, the nobles and church priests from major provinces will definitely be happy to cooperate. However, that is all for the future. At least it is still very far away for Meng Hu now. Now, the first thing Meng Hu has to do is to defend Xiling and then marry Zhao Qinghan to become the commander of the Western Legion!

"Meng..." Zhao Qinghan said softly, "You must be careful when you go out to war. I'll wait for you to come back."

Meng Hu reached out and lifted Zhao Qinghan's pink chin, bowed his head and kissed him gently like a dragonfly, then turned over to the horse, and rode his horse away without looking back. With the sound of hooves, Meng Hu's figure soon disappeared on the quiet long street. Zhao Qinghan felt lost and looked back leisurely. A trace of whiteness in the eastern sky had slightly revealed.

Qingniu Mountain is steep.

Qingniu Mountain is located at the junction of Xiling Prefecture, Sanjiang Prefecture, and Hedong Prefecture. At the foot of Qingniu Mountain, there are Qingniu Tun. There are four or five hundred families living in it, with more than two thousand people. It is also considered a large market town.

After the Xiling War entered a stalemate stage, Situ Rui also adjusted his strategy, leaving six divisions with nearly 150,000 troops to continue to station troops outside the city, and put on a long-term siege, but in fact he was secretly digging tunnels. The remaining divisions divided their troops to attack Xiling, Hedong, Sanjiang, and Hebei, mainly to raise food and money, and to guide the city by the way.

Nearly noon, the alarm bells of Dangdang suddenly sounded in Qingniu Tun. When the people who were about to have lunch heard the sound and went out to check the truth, they saw Ding of the Tun in the Tun, running along the street to tell him that the Mingyue bandits had been killed. The Tun Chief asked everyone to hide in Qingniu Mountain to take refuge.

The whole Qingniu Tun immediately started to boil like boiling boiling water. The eldest brother of the home quickly found a basket to lift up a pair of children. The wife was carrying a basket of eggs in her arms. The old man from the west couldn't bear to let the pig in his family. The father and son were dragging the pig's ears forward. Sigouzi took advantage of the chaos to touch the butt of the daughter of the Zhang family. The bloody Erhu picked up a hatchet and said that he wanted to fight the Mingyue bandits. As a result, his mother chiseled two pieces of chestnuts. The whole Qingniu Tun was in chaos and was in chaos.

Zhang Xingba, the head of Qingniu Tun, was guarding the old locust tree weighing about 100 pounds, holding a pair of iron halberds weighing about 100 pounds under the old locust tree at the entrance of the gate. He was commanding dozens of yards under his subordinates to maintain order. However, the entire Qingniu Tun was completely in chaos, and only these yards could not be suppressed at all. Although Zhang Xingba had brute force, he had never experienced such a scene and had no choice for a while.

A Tun Ding came up and whispered, "Brother Xing, let's go quickly, it's too late to leave."

"Fart." Zhang Xingba glared at him and cursed sternly, "As the head of Qingniu Tun, how can I leave behind the elders and fellow villagers in the village, and my brothers and sisters? Hou Laosi, if you dare to say something more, be careful that I will pull your head down as a chamber pot."

Hou Laosi said with a bitter face: "But Ma San just now sent back the news that the Mingyue bandits had passed the fallen landing, less than five miles away, and it was here in a while. But look at the current scene, the villagers in the village could not finish it for a while. We can't die with them, right?"

"Huh!"

Zhang Xingba suddenly exclaimed in surprise and grinned, "Hou Laosi, you reminded me of this. I'm asking everyone to go to the gatewaishaqiaogang with me."

Hou Laosi's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xing, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Xingba frowned, "Of course I'm going to block the Mingyue bandits. Before all the villagers in the village enter the mountain, they are not allowed to let a Mingyue bandits enter the village. Who is afraid of death and dares to escape privately? Be careful that the two iron halberds in my hand do not have eyes. Humph, go!"

Hou Laosi looked miserable, glanced at the pair of iron halberds in Zhang Xingba's hand, swallowed a gulp, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go, fight for the damn!"

Shaqiaogang is the only way to enter Qingniu Tun. Zhang Xingba and more than 40 Tun Ding arrived, when black Mingyue Empire soldiers emerged from the ridge not far ahead. The leading Mingyue officer pulled out his battle knife and raised his head into the sky. A team of cold-looking archers stepped out of the formation and set out a scattered shooting queue.

Seeing the neatly lined up of Mingyue Empire, Hou Laosi and other Tunding all had their legs trembling, and their faces turned green.

Only Zhang Xingba looked calm and shouted loudly in his hand: "Brothers, please listen to me. Even if you die, you can't let these dog-dance bandits go over!"

"Swish swish swish swish..."

As Zhang Xingba finished speaking, a dense tent of arrows shot from the Mingyue Empire army. Zhang Xingba hurriedly danced the two iron halberds in his hand and rolled the arrows shot at him one after another. But Tun Ding behind him was no longer capable, and they were all caught in a pool of blood. After two waves of arrows, Tun Ding behind Zhang Xingba fell down.

The officers of the Mingyue Empire led the sword in their hands forward. The black heavy infantry raised their sharp swords one after another and swept towards Shaqiaogang like a tide. Zhang Xingba opened his eyes wide, roared to the sky, and waved his two iron halberds and rushed down from the hill alone.

A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Officer Mingyue's mouth. This guy had some courage, but it was a pity that he was the courage of an ordinary man.

"kill!"

In a flash, Zhang Xingba had already rushed to the Mingyue Empire Army, and suddenly shouted loudly and jumped up. The big iron halberd in his left hand had already slashed down the Mingyue Empire soldier in front. With a click, the shield that the Mingyue Empire soldier was slapped on his shoulder had been shattered.

The iron halberd was still in full swing, and the Mingyue Empire soldier was diagonally split into two pieces from his left shoulder to his right rib.

Zhang Xingba cut a heavy Mingyue army into two pieces with his men and shields. His tower-like body fell heavily to the ground. His huge feet stepped into the solid sand half a foot deep. The next moment, Zhang Juba's right iron halberd had already slashed out with a sharp roar. The other three Mingyue Empire soldiers who rushed in front were instantly cut into six pieces!

"Puff!"

"Ba Tower!"

As blood splashed, six bodies that had lost their lives fell to the ground. Seeing Zhang Juba so brave, more than a hundred Mingyue Empire soldiers around him retreated one after another, forming rows of neat infantry formations. These Mingyue Empire soldiers are worthy of being elites in a hundred battles. They found that they could not defeat Zhang Juba alone, so they could only form a formation to kill him.

Zhang Xingba swept across the board and killed three Mingyue Empire soldiers. He was about to step forward and suddenly changed.

Amid the harsh roar, a row of sharp guns had already fallen into the air. Zhang Xingba groaned, and the two iron halberds in his hand darted in a hurry and finally shot down the dozen guns that had shot. However, before he could take a breath, more guns had already arrived one after another. This time, Zhang Batian did not dare to force himself, and turned over to the ground, curled up in a ball and rolled away like a ball.

"Puff puff puff..."

Almost as Zhang Xingba had just left, the ground where he had stopped was filled with cold guns.
