night.
White armor, snow, and neat and solemn military formations.
It took an hour for the more than 10,000 Beifeng soldiers stationed in the barbarian holy city to complete their assembly and form an array outside the city wall.
An hour of assembly time seems a bit long for an elite division like the Beifeng Army, but this is not to blame for the Beifeng soldiers.
After all, the three battalions stationed in the Barbarian Holy City are all dispersed and stationed on the four walls of the Barbarian Holy City, and the dispatch needs to span the entire Barbarian Holy City.
Therefore, compared with the brothers on the other towers, Li Yongliang, who is in charge of the south of the city tonight, seems a little lucky.
"Hey hey hey"
Standing in front of the array, Li Yongliang touched his chin and smiled silly.
Being on duty is not just as simple as leading a team on guard duty.
To prevent enemy night attacks and emergencies such as when superior generals cannot be found, the power in the hands of the generals who are on duty that night will be temporarily increased by half a level, and they will also be given the power to partially open ordnance storage and sound the warning horn. There are many small but important permissions such as number, as well as the lifting and lowering of the city gate tower.
However, this temporary increase in power is not a good thing among Li Yongliang and his generals.
Because in normal times, some commanders at the top like to cause trouble, and suddenly pull the entire army together in the middle of the night for actual combat training.
Once it's done, it's your job.
Something went wrong, so congratulations and a gift package of military discipline.
There was an example in the Third Town of the Beifeng Army where the commander on duty caused a camp roar due to improper operation, and was directly beheaded by the commander-in-chief.
But everything has pros and cons,
In ordinary times, this is a hard job, but when it comes to war, this can be regarded as a kind of emergency!
Although it does not mean that the building is about to collapse, it can still be a great achievement.
Thinking of this,
Li Yongliang quickly glanced back at the beautiful figure in red armor standing on the tower, and felt a little excited in his heart.
Ability is certainly important, but it must be seen by those above.
Although he lost the chance to show his face in front of the Marquis because of the plan of that bastard in Wangcheng, tonight's incident made him show his face in front of His Highness.
Although there was no direct contact and the order was given by Colonel Tang, His Highness was standing on the tower after all, so His Highness should have seen what he did.
"Hey, Lao Li, why are you so silly?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a low and somewhat magnetic voice came from one side.
Li Yongliang looked back and saw a burly man in white armor walking towards him with a blade on his waist. The soldiers behind him were also holding down a group of remaining barbarian women and children.
A large group of people in Wuyangyang were very noisy because they needed to use force to deter these barbarian captives.
The burly man's armor clicked as he walked, and with a hint of smile in his words, he asked:
"How is the situation? Is it the Marquis who is here, or His Highness?"
"Old Bai, are you going to press a little harder?"
After a pause, Li Yongliang grinned: "Aren't you afraid of delaying the military situation and being dealt with?"
"Pull you down."
Bai Jiaqi raised her hand and punched Li Yongliang on the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "I am stationed in the north of the city, and I have a day off today. It is not easy to organize the brothers to come here in such a short time."
"Ouch"
Li Yongliang glanced at the boy meaningfully and murmured in a low voice: "You won't stir up the big vat with toothpicks again."
"What?" Bai Jiaqi couldn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Li Yongliang waved his hand: "I said His Highness is here."
"Your Highness?" Bai Jiaqi was stunned.
Li Yongliang pursed his lips towards the top of the city tower.
After taking a glance, Bai Jiaqi immediately looked back, frowned and asked:
"Isn't His Highness in Beifeng? Why did you suddenly come to this barbaric city?"
Li Yongliang rolled his eyes and spread his hands:
"Oh, you really think highly of me. How can I, a little general, know so much about His Highness's whereabouts?"
"Then what's the purpose of the gathering?"
"do not know either."
"Tsk, why don't you know anything?"
"I told you, how can I know so much about a general? Or do you give me some military merit and let me be promoted to a general? Maybe I will know next time."
"Get out of here!"
Bai Jiaqi laughed and cursed, glanced at the white-armored forest sea forming a military formation around him, moved closer, and asked in a low voice:
"I remember you were on duty in Chengnan tonight, right? Is it because I can't say it, or do I really not know?"
Although General Qu was already considered a middle-level general in the army, his superiors rarely explained to them the specific meaning of the orders before the battle. Most of the time they were just responsible for the charge.
Li Yongliang let out a light "tsk" and sighed:
"The order I received is very simple. Send the order and coordinate the various departments in the city to assemble outside the south city."
"."
Bai Jiaqi frowned upon hearing this.
Although the meaning of the transfer order will not be specifically explained above, their long-term military career has also given these middle-level generals some "military sense."
With a slightly solemn expression, Bai Jiaqi murmured softly:
"The whole city's troops and horses have assembled. Are we going to break camp? No, if we're going to break camp, I didn't see the grain caches escorting the baggage when I came over, and the scouts and eagles in the city didn't go out to investigate."
Speaking of which,
Bai Jiaqi looked at Li Yongliang with probing eyes:
"So, tonight is an actual training session? But since it's a training session, why did you ask me to bring the barbarian prisoners here?"
"."
Li Yongliang shrugged and said with a smile:
"Why do you keep thinking so much? His Highness is here."
Look at each other,
Bai Jiaqi grinned and patted the other party on the shoulder:
"Okay, Lao Li, I'm going to the meeting point of our department first."
After all,
Just as he was about to leave, Bai Jiaqi caught a glimpse of a young man wearing the robe of a grain trough official driving a carriage from the gate of the gate tower and driving towards them.
The carriage was pulled by a tall white demon horse. The carriage behind it was one foot high. Through the oil paper wrapped inside the carriage, you could faintly see the wooden boxes stacked inside. The iron-wrapped wooden wheels drew a path on the snow. Deep ruts.
Seeing this scene, Bai Jiaqi stopped subconsciously.
According to military laws, this carriage baggage should be for Li Yongliang, the rotating general.
And soon, with the subtle "rumble" of the iron-wrapped wooden wheels, the carriage came to a stop in front of Li Yongliang.
The young grain trough officer jumped off the carriage neatly and asked with a smile:
"Li Qu?"
"."
Li Yongliang returned the salute with cupped fists, and respectfully showed the opponent the Tiger Talisman of the rotating general hanging on his waist.
He knew this person. He was one of the several grain and grass transportation supervisors in their third town in Beifeng. He was already a fourth-level expert at a young age.
The spirit soul scanned the tiger talisman and the identity was confirmed.
The young grain trough officer took a slight step to the side, pointed at the carriage with his fingers, and said with a smile:
"Captain Tang has an order. Please distribute this baggage cart to the soldiers."
This was considered the duty of the generals on duty, so Li Yongliang subconsciously asked:
"Zhou Liangtai, can I ask what kind of baggage this is?"
"Of course you can."
The young grain trough officer had no airs, but as he spoke, the smile on his face faded and he sighed:
"In this carriage are twenty boxes of powerful pills."
"."
Powerful Pill.
Hearing this, Li Yongliang subconsciously looked at Bai Jiaqi aside, but saw that the other party was also looking at him at the moment.
Looking at each other for a moment, they both saw a look of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Jin Qi Dan is a type of elixir that is extremely strictly controlled in the military. Only before each war, some will be distributed to various departments by the logistics department.
A medicinal stone that gains stronger power in a short period of time at the expense of destroying the meridians.
As long as you've been in the military long enough, you've basically taken this elixir.
After all, although Jinqi Pill has side effects, these side effects no longer seem scary in the face of death and defeat.
The young grain trough officer said nothing more and bowed respectfully to Li Yongliang:
"Li Qu, if there is nothing else, Zhou will leave first."
"."
Watching the other party's figure disappear in silence, Li Yongliang took a deep breath, glanced at Bai Jiaqi, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a solemn voice:
"Twenty boxes of powerful pills. On average, they are given to ten thousand people. How many pills are there per person?"
Bai Jiaqi was silent for a few breaths and then uttered two words:
"Four."
"."
When Li Yongliang heard this number, his fingers trembled slightly.
The efficacy and side effects of Jin Qi Dan will increase as the dosage increases.
After taking one pill, I couldn't get out of bed for more than half a month.
Taking two tablets will cause irreversible damage to the meridians and will affect subsequent practice.
After taking three pills, the meridians will be severed, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to make any progress in your life.
After taking four pills, Dantian surged and he was seriously injured and dying.
After taking five pills, the whole body will be red, the skin will burn as if it were in an oven, and the skin will ooze blood and die.
four
It's okay for those generals who have more advanced cultivation, but the four powerful pills of their brother can be said to be fatal.
After a few breaths of silence,
Li Yongliang's voice was low and hoarse:
"Old Bai, Your Highness loves soldiers as much as her own children. She would not have issued such an order unless necessary. What do you think Your Highness is going to do?"
Bai Jiaqi subconsciously glanced at the dark sky in the south and licked her dry lips:
"do what?
"Although this barbaric city does not have a large defensive formation, the city wall is not strong yet. If there is an enemy attack, they should defend the city. The formation now outside the city wall in a dense formation should... It should be to deal with high-level cultivators. "
A long-term illness can be cured, and if you are not stupid after a long march, you can see the clues from the details.
In a few words, Bai Jiaqi already figured out the correct answer.
"High-level cultivator."
Li Yongliang murmured, also forgetting to glance at the southern sky:
"Old Bai, how high do you think we have to give our three battalions of the Beifeng Army and more than 10,000 elites to take four pills of strength to deal with the high-level cultivators?"
"."
Bai Jiaqi shuddered, grinned, and said with a smile:
"How tall can it be? It's just a matter of transforming from an ordinary person. I remember I heard Captain Tang say at the banquet in the city before that the Barbarian King was just an ordinary person."
Li Yongliang glanced at Bai Jiaqi and said in a deep voice:
"Don't lie to yourself. It's not like we haven't seen a strong person transform into a mortal in the past twenty years or so in the army. It's not like this."
Bai Jiaqi's hand holding the handle of the knife tightened, and her words were slightly trembling:
"Since you are a saint, why doesn't Your Highness go first?"
"Can you outrun the saint? Or can our brothers escape the detection of the saint's mind and soul?"
Li Yongliang looked up at the dark sky, sighed leisurely, and clenched his fists:
"If we don't have His Highness, we will be defeated if we fight, and if we are defeated, we will die. Your Highness's body of a thousand gold is willing to stay for us, so what do we have to fear?"
"." Bai Jiaqi remained silent and did not speak.
Li Yongliang turned over and climbed onto the carriage, stood on the carriage and looked at Bai Jiaqi, and said with a smile:
"Why are you still hanging around? Ask your free brothers to come over and help. If you can go back alive, remember to invite me to Langui Pavilion for a drink and some red wine."
Bai Jiaqi came back to her senses and looked at the unshaven smile of the other party. She calmed down and got into the car. While helping, she smiled and cursed:
"Damn it, why did I treat you to a drink while I was still alive?"
"Your toothpick stirs up the vat."
"Cough...I'll order two for you."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Above the city wall, below the city gate.
Leaning on the stone pillar, Xu Yuan looked at the beautiful figure in red not far away.
With a flawless profile and a slim figure in red armor, he is cold and solemn.
Just as Li Qingyan said in the underground palace, a qualified coach can turn people's uneasiness into trust just by standing there.
When she asked him to "borrow" the Strength Pill, Xu Yuan was worried that too much would cause the soldiers below to roar.
After all, the dose of four Jinqi Pills is already considered fatal to ordinary sixth- and seventh-grade soldiers.
But as a result, the soldiers below did not fall into panic, but their morale became stronger.
"."
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan subconsciously moved down to her hip line that was wrapped in armor.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were lowered. Xu Yuanyi glanced at the tip of the slender middle finger of his right hand.
This breast-binding princess is so cruel. He just teased her through her clothes and then stabbed her directly with a knife, but the fingertips only touched her.
"Long sky."
The cold voice brought Xu Yuan back from his thoughts. He raised his eyes and saw Li Qingyan looking at him calmly, with a faint light in his eyes:
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Yuan didn't care when he heard this and replied with a smile: "Why, our Highness Wu Yuan is so domineering, I can't even look at my own hands?"
Li Qingyan took a deep breath, his chest calm, and said:
"You'd better just be looking at your hands."
Xu Yuan laughed dumbly, pointed to the southwest, and joked:
"With the war imminent, why does our Qingyan still pay attention to this kind of affection between children?"
Li Qingyan turned his eyes, stopped paying attention to this rogue, and said solemnly:
"Calculate the time, the Barbarian King will arrive soon."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said slightly seriously:
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to create a gap for you to attack."
Li Qingyan said softly:
"This is not what I mean."
"What?" Xu Yuan asked lightly.
Li Qingyan glanced at the red armor on his body and whispered:
"You asked Senior Luo to follow you, I don't need it."
Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly surprised, and he seemed to understand something immediately, and said with a smile:
"What? Are you worried about me?"
Li Qingyan glanced at him:
"If you die, won't you let my second brother succeed? I will still have to settle accounts with him after I return."
"."
Xu Yuan was slightly disappointed with this answer, but also a little helpless.
After a moment's pause, Li Qingyan's voice came here, but the voice was slightly softer:
"Also, if you really die, I might be sad."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes when he heard this, stood up straight, and walked towards Li Qingyan:
"Qing Yan."
"do not come!"
Li Qingyan frowned and said loudly.
What she had just experienced made her a little afraid to let this dead man get close.
Not to mention,
It was different at this time. There were now more than ten thousand soldiers looking at her as the commander under the city wall.
"."
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, and with a step of his foot, he came to her side in an instant.
Li Qingyan's eyes instantly became alert.
But unexpectedly,
The dead man actually didn't touch her, he just looked calmly in the southwest direction.
Li Qingyan looked back.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless black sky.
But she sensed a source of Qi that disturbed the world, like a giant beast crawling in the distant sky!
Someone is speeding towards the barbarian holy city.
Li Qingyan turned his eyes when he saw this and was about to speak.
"Snapped."
"." Li Qingyan.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Qingyan's upturned undercarriage, pinched it gently, narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Well, this barbarian king doesn't hide his aura at all. Since he is so confident, let me prepare a big one for him, your husband."
The words fell,
Xu Yuan soared into the air under Li Qingyan's complicated eyes that wanted to kill someone but also had a hint of worry.
Since he had plenty of time, he would let the Barbarian King see what it means to be a Master!
Standing in the dark void, the aura around Xu Yuan's body rose layer by layer, and an extremely rich blood-ink color quickly spread out with him as the center.
