When Lijun Qingqi arrived at Taiming City for the second time in a year, the city's attitude was completely different from the previous time.
The gray city wall is no longer like the skin of a giant beast, and Lu Dongfeng is no longer a lonely figure outside the city gate. Instead, there are the people inside and outside the city wall, and the solemn and solemn sight of three thousand black-armored troops neatly lined up on both sides of the official road. solemn.
Against this background, the figure who stands above the official line is not so conspicuous. He has a brocade hat and mink fur, with his hands folded up and sleeves. It is General Taiming, Lu Dongfeng. At this moment, he is slightly raising his head and squinting his eyes. Looking at the cavalry running in the distance, he praised softly,
"The momentum is getting more and more powerful." The person standing next to him was wearing a general's armor but no helmet. His face was sallow and his beard was sparse. He looked listless, but his voice was particularly deep. It was Wang Ming.
"When the Grand Administrator returned to Li City, he mobilized elites from all sides to make up for the five thousand Li County Qingqi. It is said that the worst among them were the second level warriors. If all five thousand people were scattered, , it is not impossible to form a black armored army of 10,000 or even 15,000 people, but the current momentum of only 5,000 cavalry is still far behind." Lu Dongfeng remained unwavering.
"If it were said in the past, what you said may be considered arrogant, but it is not wrong in the end. But if it is said today, it is a big mistake."
"What's wrong?" Wang Ming frowned and looked at Lu Dongfeng, but only saw the other person's indifferent profile.
"With the prefect's current authority, who dares to have other ideas? There is no need for such a force of Li County Qingqi to support it. It is a waste to tie so many elite soldiers to the side of Li City. It would be better to surrender to the south. Jiang, if we have an extra black-armored army..."
"Okay," Lu Dongfeng took his hands out of his sleeves. He seemed to feel a little cold. He hesitated for a while but did not put his hands back into his sleeves. Instead, he put his hands together and rubbed them.
"You have such a mouth. Sooner or later something will happen again. Later, when the prefect comes to your face, please shut up." Wang Ming pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Lu Dongfeng turned his head slightly and glanced sideways at Wang Ming, then lowered his voice and said,
"Don't think that what I said before was just a lie. It's more difficult for cavalry to form a formation than infantry. If a hundred cavalrymen can form a formation among a thousand cavalry, they can be called elite. But if these thousand cavalry dismount, they will be ready immediately without much training. When a thousand-man army encounters powerful soldiers in a head-on encounter, all it takes is one great monk to lead them, and the same thousand-man cavalry force may be defeated, but why do all the armies in Central Continent still spend so much effort to form cavalry?”
"Because the cavalry is faster! The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. When the two sides are playing chess, the outcome is often just a matter of thoughts." Lu Dongfeng turned back to look at the approaching Lijun Qingqi in the distance, and couldn't help but speak three minutes faster. ,
"If you hold a chess piece in your hand that can be one step ahead of others, in the past nine hundred years, it may only mean that power is stable, or a vacancy can be filled in time, but now it is not that simple. In this destined game In the long-lasting multi-party game process, it may be the result of taking the lead step by step."...m
"What's more, this Lijun Qingqi is not an ordinary elite, but the elite of the elite who can form a formation of five thousand people." He stared at the young man wearing blood armor among the cavalry in the distant smoke and dust.
"As long as this cavalry is not disabled at once, after experiencing the constant baptism of war, it will definitely become a force that can affect the battlefields of the world..." Wang Ming looked up at the cavalry in the distance. The cavalryman moved his lips slightly, and his voice came directly into Lu Dongfeng's ears.
"The general's words are too exaggerated, but to say that they are the elite among the elite can barely be considered. If they can control the loss of the formation to the level of the Black Armored Army, then..." His eyes looked towards The cavalry's mount couldn't help but also narrowed its eyes like Lu Dongfeng.
"It would be interesting to incorporate the power of those demon-blooded war horses..." Lu Dongfeng didn't bother to reply at all this time. He just stood there rubbing his hands, waiting for the cavalry in the distance to approach.
In the time it took to drink tea, the cavalry who were still very far away had already moved closer. They slowly slowed down and finally reached the three thousand black-armored troops. Then they heard a neat sound.
With a "boom" sound, three thousand pairs of fist gloves hit the breastplate!
"Greetings to the Grand Administrator!!" The iron-blooded salutes spread in all directions, and the people who were originally guarding Taiming City knelt down on the ground one by one in silence, and lowered their heads in obedience. In the silence, only five people were left. The sound of Qianli County Qingqi's horses' hooves, even though they have slowed down, is still like beating drums.
Li Jun Qingqi slowly stopped, only the young man wearing blood armor at the head was still walking. He drove the horse to more than ten feet in front of Lu Dongfeng and Wang Ming, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his hand to salute Lu Dongfeng, Dongfeng helped him up, pushed the visor away with a click with his other hand, and smiled at Wang Ming,
"General Wang Bi, I thought you were going to hide somewhere and not come to see me." Wang Ming made a military salute and said,
"The general will not dare." Luo Chuan reached out and shook Lu Dongfeng's hand and said,
"General Lu, the weather is not cold yet, but your hands are a bit cold." Lu Dongfeng smiled and said
"Thank you, Grand Administrator, for your trouble. It's not a problem that I have had for many years." He stepped aside to get out of the way, raised his hand and said,
"Master Taishou, please enter the city." Luo Chuan nodded, turned around and made a gesture, and the Lijun Qingqi split into two. The leading group of Wangchuan sword cultivators and more than a hundred elite Qingqi, including Luo Changgong, followed. Behind Luochuan, another large group of cavalry camped at a location outside the city.
Luo Chuan didn't pay too much attention to the actions of the people behind him, but turned around without getting on his horse. He just led the horse and followed Lu Dongfeng into the city.
"Did Fairy Lingjing of the Cangyan Sword Sect arrive at Taiming first?" Lu Dongfeng glanced at Wang Ming, then stretched out his hand to push. The latter then turned his attention from the horse-riding Wangchuan Sword Cultivator to a woman in blue robes. Move a little away from the child in red robe,
"No."
"Oh," Luo Chuan put it down as soon as he thought about it. On the other side, Wang Ming glanced at Lu Dongfeng and then said,
"However, there is a real person from Tingfeng Pavilion who arrived at Taiming City first."
"Huh?" Luo Chuan asked in surprise.
"Which real person from Tingfeng Pavilion is here? Taiming is here to see General Lu?" Wang Ming shook his head.
"The person who came here holds the seal of the county magistrate, calls himself Bo'an, and says he will wait for the prefect in Taiming."
"Wait for me?" Luo Chuan thought for a while and asked again,
"Then where is this real person now?" This time it was Lu Dongfeng who answered.
"We checked the seal he held, and it was undoubtedly owned by Master Zhong, so we placed him in the Lu Mansion. It only took a few days."
"Just go meet me later," Luo Chuan asked Lu Dongfeng, turning his head.
"Why don't you see Tieshan today?" Lu Dongfeng did not answer, but Wang Ming said at the side,
"Tieshan is on duty today and led his troops south into the mountains." Hearing this, Luo Chuan suddenly widened his eyes.
"Enter the mountain?!"
