On the north and south sides of the island city, the scouts of the Nanhuai Army and the Donglu Army immediately started fighting each other as soon as they came into contact. The team of dozens of people only killed more than half of the losses on both sides, and then they supported each other's comrade Pao Ze and left. the battlefield.
In one day, the scouts of the two armies fought nearly a hundred battles, and more than hundreds of the scouts alone were killed.
Li Dingxing stood outside the Nanhuai Army Commander's tent, silently watching the seriously injured scouts being carried past the camp gate one after another.
"The news from the west has been blocked, and we don't know if Yi Xiaodao is coming. It's not an option to continue like this." Xiang Lian'er walked to Li Dingxing and said worriedly.
"The last news was that Dongfang Zhong was driven out of Jicheng by Yi Xiaodao, and now he has come to this island city. Yi Xiaodao will definitely come, but I don't know when... we can't send any more scouts from the Nanhuai Army , The Nanhuai Army is not good at land warfare, and it is no match for the Donglu Army..." Li Dingxing sighed.
At this time, Fan Jun came over: "How about I take someone there? I have been to this island city several times before, and the terrain is quite familiar. If I encounter Dongfang Bell's spies again, no one can do anything to me!"
Zheng Kang and Lu Liguang followed behind: "The two of us can also convey the news."
Fan Jun turned to look at the two of them and said dissatisfied: "Why do you have to fight for everything? This is not just for fun, it's a life-threatening matter, understand?"
Zheng Kang and Lu Liguang were the former Ghost Sword Liu and One-Eyed Snake. The three of them had already become friends when they were at Yi Xiaodao's military camp, and they would fight and fight on weekdays, but today they did not quarrel with Fan Jun again.
"Since we entered the camp, we haven't made any achievements, so why don't we ask Duke Zhongyi to give us orders?"
Fan Jun looked at the two people who volunteered, feeling both strange and familiar. The strange thing was that they no longer had the gangster spirit in them and were completely different from before. But kindly, I feel that these two people now give people a sense of solidity and reliability.
Fan Jun didn't understand the love between soldiers in the army. It was similar to brotherly love, but now he estimated that this was it. When it was important, he felt that he could rely on this person...
Li Dingxing and Xiang Lian'er looked at each other and nodded slightly: "With your abilities, ordinary Donglu spies really can't do anything to you, but you must remember not to be wary. Once you get the news, report it immediately. Even if you don't get any news, You can go if you can, as long as you stay alive."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhongyi!" The two replied sonorously and forcefully, then grinned at Fan Jun and went down to prepare.
When Fan Jun saw the two of them taking orders and leaving, he became an idle person again. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Dingxing: "Fan Haohan, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Fan Jun quickly turned around and said, "I don't dare to be a good man until I have gone too far. It is just what Duke Zhongyi ordered me to do."
"I will allocate the Nanhuai Army to you. You will lead the Nanhuai Army to guard the coast and never let a single Japanese come ashore! Can you do it?" Li Dingxing asked in a deep voice.
"Common people take orders!" Fan Jun immediately became happy when he saw that he had something to do. Although he felt something was wrong, why did he assign the Nanhuai Army to him? But at this time, I don't care much anymore. I just want to do whatever Lord Zhongyi says.
After Fan Jun left, Xiang Lian'er exposed Li Dingxing's thoughts: "You asked Fan Jun to lead the Nanhuai army to block the Dong Japanese people. Are you afraid that when he confronts Dongfang Zhong... he will be incited to rebel?"
Li Dingxing walked into the handsome tent, with Xiang Lian'er following behind him. Li Dingxing cried and laughed and said, "We have to be careful. We don't know how many soldiers Dongfang Zhong has. We don't know whether Fan Jun sincerely surrenders to the court and follows Yi Xiaodao. Putting two uncertain situations together, I don’t know how many variables will arise.”
Xiang Lian'er nodded. What Li Dingxing said was indeed reasonable. The loyalty of Huizhengying still needs to be tested.
Night fell quietly. Zheng Kang and Lu Liguang had eaten and drank enough. They prepared their horses, selected about twenty smart and capable young men, and left the camp. There are no more cheers and cheers in the village in the past, no horse whistles, only cold eyes and sharp weapons.
"Going south or north?" Zheng Kang asked aloud.
"The island city faces the sea to the south. Even if there is a large army, there will not be many people. Go south!" Lu Liguang said decisively.
The two men led the men and horses to the south of the city. Not far away, they saw a group of men and horses coming in the distance. There was still shade from the trees on their side, so the other party hadn't noticed them yet.
"There are twelve people in total, one for Zheng Kang and I, and one for you two. Just one round! Don't miss it!" Lu Liguang said to the people behind him.
Using the faint moonlight, everyone selected their targets. Lu Liguang and Zheng Kang were the first to rush out on horseback.
Before everyone on the other side could react, Lu Liguang and Zheng Kang chopped them down with one blow and fell off their horses. The two succeeded in one blow and turned their horses' heads from left to right to avoid being surrounded by each other.
The twenty or so brothers behind them were only one beat slower than the two of them. As soon as the two of them turned their horses and dispersed, the two sides started fighting head-on. Cold light flashed and blood splattered everywhere.
The fight started very quickly and ended very quickly. In the blink of an eye, all of the opponent's men were killed, while only a few of their side were injured.
"Let's go!" Zheng Kang shouted, and everyone disappeared into the darkness and ran towards the west of the city.
In the Donglu Army barracks, the three people in Jiuyinlou were closing their eyes to calm themselves down. The old man is skinny and has a bit of a fairy-like air; the young woman is in white clothes and skirt, as pure and white as if she is not stained by the world; the child has a longevity peach haircut and a collar around his neck. Suddenly the child opened his eyes and looked outside the tent.
"Is something wrong?" Dongfang Zhong noticed something strange about the child.
"There are two... slightly tough guys coming over. Should we stop them or not?" the child asked.
Dongfang Zhong asked: "Didn't my people stop me?"
"With calculated calculations but no care, the general's men are vulnerable. Even if there is a fight, the general's chances of winning are not good. Even though they are all a bunch of hard-working people, there are still some capable people among these hard-working people." The child kept saying. said.
"Okay, don't say any more. The mortal world has nothing to do with us. If you want to go, you can go." The old man said from the side.
After hearing the old man's words, the child gave up his thoughts and then sat up cross-legged to meditate again.
Dongfang Zhong saw the three people in Jiuyinlou chattering, and called the deputy general: "Bring more people to stop them."
"Sir, are you going south or north?" the deputy general asked.
"Which way is easier?" Dongfang Zhong asked with narrowed eyes.
"The south side is close to the coast and the road is not smooth, but the north side is easier to travel."
"Then go south! Humph." Dongfang Zhong is also well versed in the art of war and knows how to avoid reality and strike at weakness.
After the deputy general left, Dongfang Zhong wanted to talk to the three men from Jiuyinlou, but they just closed their eyes and meditated and ignored everything else.
Dongfang Zhong murmured in his heart, these three people said they were here to help me, but I don’t know whether they were true or false. They injured one of their own lieutenants when they came up. Now he is still lying down recovering from his injuries. It's better for them to meditate here.
Dongfang Zhong did not bother the three of them in the end. It made sense for Jiuyin Tower to send them at this time, and he could not act too hastily.
In fact, Dongfang Zhong now has an army of nearly 100,000 people, so he is still confident. Strictly speaking, the Dongfang family has occupied Donglu for even longer than the King of Donglu who has been handed down for six hundred years. As long as Dongfang Zhong is still alive, there will always be people in Donglu who will serve the Dongfang family. If once they submit to the imperial court, under the influence of the imperial court, the Dongfang family can only disappear in the long river of history.
Zheng Kang and Lu Liguang had not run far when Dongfang Zhong's deputy came towards them on horseback. This time, Zheng Kang and Lu Liguang did not notice each other.
"Buzz!"
A spear was thrown from a distance. The two were shocked and quickly drew out their weapons to block. Lu Liguang cut the spear into two sides with a knife, but the other half looked back and shot away, but Zheng Kang kicked it away.
"It's so powerful..." Both of them had come into contact with the spear, and they were secretly amazed at the power coming from the spear.
"Buzz buzz!"
Spears were thrown all over the sky.
The two were shocked and waved their weapons to fight. The sound of gold and iron could not be heard. The two of them could barely hold on, but dozens of the younger brothers behind them were shot to death on the spot. Only six of them escaped by hiding behind the horses.
"Go back?" Zheng Kang asked.
"You can't go back! If you go back, you will be laughed at. There will never be a chance to turn around in this life!" Lu Liguang turned the horse and shouted to the younger brothers behind him: "Your horse is dead, go back, we are here to delay it for you." moment."
The younger brothers looked at the corpses of their brothers all over the ground, and then looked across the way. A general wearing armor came out, with hundreds of soldiers behind him.
"Brother, let's go together!"
"Yes, brother, let's go separately. We don't have horses. If we go into the forest later, they won't be able to find us."
"Brother, there are too many people on the other side."
Lu Liguang held the knife in both hands, raised the long knife, kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and rushed out alone: "I told you to leave!"
"Wait for me!" Zheng Kang also followed him.
In the past, when Lu Liguang and Zheng Kang were bandits, they were on different hills. Later, they joined Yi Xiaodao together. After living and eating together for such a long time, they both felt that the other person was very talkative, and gradually there was a sense of sympathy for each other. Now that Lu Liguang has rushed forward, there is no reason for Zheng Kang to sit back and watch.
"Zheng Kang, I'll pester them later and leave when you have the chance!" Lu Liguang whispered to Zheng Kang beside him.
"No, let's go together!" Zheng Kang refused directly without thinking: "Gong Zhongyi also said that if it doesn't work out, we can just go back."
Lu Liguang chuckled and said: "We also have to think about our brothers. From now on, brothers will still point to Mr. Yi to get ahead! As a result, he followed two coward bosses. Will he still be able to hang out in the future? You must rush over and find him later. Master Yi! The first thing Mr. Zhongyi does must not be thrown into his hands!"
Before Zheng Kang could reply, the other party was already coming towards him. He raised his hand and swept across with an axe.
Lu Liguang held up his long sword and blocked the axe. The war horse under his crotch was pressed so hard that it moved two steps laterally. Lu Liguang jumped up from his horse, and used the weapons the two of them were blocking to knock the other person off his horse.
The deputy general was knocked off his horse, and the soldiers behind him rushed over. Zheng Kang showed a slight gap. Zheng Kang nodded to Lu Liguang, turned his horse and rushed over from the gap.
"Brother, don't be afraid, we are here!" The remaining six soldiers from the military camp rushed around and rushed to Lu Liguang's side.
"Okay! Let us seven brothers kill each other today!" Lu Liguang raised his sword in his hand and looked up to the sky laughing.
He saw Zheng Kang had run away.
