Such a direct and sudden recruitment was unexpected. Joining the army was stunned and speechless for a long time. He only looked at Bai Qige dreamily. All the soldiers behind him were also at a loss.
There was silence for a moment. Bai Qige withdrew her hand from the Cuihuang Sword. She glanced at the high-spirited soldiers on the other side and said calmly: "General Lu might as well go back and tell the Lord of your country that Bai Qige is just a commoner. Although he was born in the Bai family, he has not inherited the essence of generalship. .This can be seen by falling into an ambush today. Such people are not beneficial to your country. It is better to give up."
"General Bai is too modest." The general surnamed Lu took a deep breath. "That's okay. Today Lu is just conveying the Lord's wishes. In the future, General Bai will have the opportunity to meet with me, the Lord of Anling. I will make a decision then. As for Let’s take these supplies of food and grass as compensation for Lu’s hard work. As long as you soldiers from the distant country don’t take action first, I guarantee that no one will hurt them..."
Before he could finish the last word "Hao", Lu Feidu's expression suddenly changed. He stepped back in embarrassment, barely avoiding Bai Qige's flying attack.
Just like the soldiers of the Yao Kingdom did not expect that Lu Feidu would come to surrender, the people present also did not expect that Bai Qige would launch a sudden attack. Before the soldiers near Anling Kingdom could react, Bai Qige had already stabbed four or five swords in succession. Delu Feidu kept retreating.
Bai Qige is not a pushy and aggressive person. She admits that she accidentally fell into an ambush. However, this batch of food and grass supplies is the entire savings of the Guang garrison. If it is taken away by Anling Kingdom, how can she face the Emperor Yao? Besides, it is a long distance. Food and grass are indispensable to suppress the rebellion. Without this batch of rations, the southern expedition will be a complete failure. Her desire to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and return to the imperial capital will be in vain. After much deliberation, she can only risk a surprise attack. If Lu Feidu is captured and used as a hostage, Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
While thinking about the various fighting techniques he had learned, he was jumping around with daggers flying around. In the blink of an eye, Lu Feidu had a few scars on his body. But he was not captured as Bai Qige wanted. Maybe he was caught by accident. The soldiers of the Anling Kingdom who had formed a circle were shocked, but no one came to help. However, the more than 30 soldiers from the Cold Spear Battalion of the Yao Kingdom moved quickly. Bai Qige also launched an attack within a few moments after Bai Qige took action. Ken quickly broke through. The encirclement opens a gap.
"General Bai, go first. I'll wait for you later." Jiangjun growled. He crossed the knife and rushed between Bai Qige and Lu Feidu. He backed up and protected Bai Qige as he moved towards the gap.
These more than thirty soldiers of the Hanqiang Battalion are all elites of the Guanggong Army. They are all talented people personally selected by Ou Suiliang. Everyone has good marksmanship and loyalty. At this moment, facing the encirclement of more than ten times the number of troops, it is not only difficult to Fear only aroused a higher fighting spirit. In just a moment, more than ten enemies were killed with gunshots.
Lu Feidu was treating him politely, but he was reciprocated by this. He was naturally angry. He flicked his arm and showed his sword. His eyes suddenly turned sharp: "Don't let them escape. Those who are captured alive will be heavily rewarded."
Bai Qige, who had no intention of escaping, couldn't help but smile to herself. When did her life become so valuable? When she was called a traitor and married into Yaoguo, everyone thought she was a waste. They thought she was someone who deserved death. But in just a short time Two years later, she put on armor and took command and became a general of Guangzhu. There are still people who are willing to pay high prices and rewards just to capture her alive. It is really a huge difference. The contrast is ridiculous.
Her thoughts returned to her thoughts, but she didn't dare to stop with the dagger in her hand. Seeing a group of soldiers from the Cold Spear Battalion desperately trying to open up a way for her to escape, Bai Qige became more and more anxious... She didn't want to escape. She just wanted to find a way to push back the sudden enemy protection. The food, grass and baggage are heavy. It would be better to delay for a little longer and wait for the main force of the distant army on the other side of the river to return for reinforcements.
The soldiers of the Cold Spear Battalion, who had not known each other for a long time, did not understand Bai Qige's thoughts. They all put the protection of their commander first. They pushed Bai Qige to the edge while trying hard to move towards the grain truck, and used their flesh and blood to create an escape route for her.
Lu Feidu's eyes darkened hard. Looking at the corpses of several of his own soldiers on the ground, his mind went crazy. He grabbed the crossbow of the soldiers beside him and bent the bow to set an arrow. He closed one eye and aimed at Bai Qige's figure. Bai Qige couldn't do it without three heads and six arms. She could see six directions and hear all directions. How could she know that someone behind her had already aimed the arrow of death at her? But Junjun, who was closely watching Lu Feidu's operation, noticed the crisis. He let out a changed exclamation and at the same time protected Bai Qige behind him. .The corners of his mouth cracked. He closed his eyes and waited for death.
"General Lu, show mercy." At the critical moment, someone in the crowd rushed to Lu Feidu and snatched the bow and arrow out of his hand. Bai Qige turned around when she heard the sound, and saw a lean man in his forties looking at her next to Lu Feidu. Come on. The face looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. The man felt relieved when he saw that Bai Qige was fine. He shook his head and held Lu Feidu's shoulders: "General Lu, please don't be emotional. Food, grass and baggage are needed." Stay and let her leave safely. The Lord values her very much and doesn’t want her to get hurt.”
Lu Feidu's face was uncertain. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and waved his hand. The Anling soldiers understood and took the initiative to make a way out for the trapped Hanqiang Camp and Bai Qige of the distant army.
Seeing Bai Qige being forcibly taken away by soldiers from the distant country, the man beside Lu Feidu let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you didn't hurt her. Her value far exceeds the food and baggage. Even more than you and me."
"I really don't understand what my lord is thinking. A woman knows how to lead troops in war. What's the use of recruiting her?" Lu Feidu suppressed his anger and sounded quite dissatisfied. "Didn't you also see that woman just now? Running rampant like a wild leopard. Hesitating even though he has a chance to escape. What kind of situation can this be?"
"All the rations for the Guang garrison in the distant country are here. If it were you, wouldn't you hesitate?"
Lu Feidu was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he muttered: "Why does the Imperial Master always speak for her? He is just as obsessed as the Lord."
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and patted the sack filled with food. His expression was vaguely lonely: "I will never forget the kindness of General Bai's teachings. I vowed in my heart that I would never fight against the Bai family in this life. And that woman did not It's as unbearable as you said. She has a wonderful and exquisite mind. You will slowly discover it when you have the opportunity in the future."
Bai Qige could not be heard praising or belittling. Just now she tried to protect the rations, but was carried away by the strongest soldier of the Cold Spear Battalion. At this moment, as the commander-in-chief of the Guangshu Army, she was standing on the river bank silently.
"General Bai, if you lose food and fodder, you can raise it again. You are the general. What if you have a problem that makes the soldiers below you do something?" Joining the army persuaded him earnestly. His mouth was almost worn out. It took him a long time to answer Bai Qige's words. Joining the army was helpless. He lowered his voice and leaned forward: "You have to think about His Highness the Crown Prince. General I have already sent a message asking us to take good care of you, General Bai. Your Highness the Crown Prince is very worried. If you are injured, I'm sick. The general must kick us to death."
General I don't blame her anymore for causing I Xueyu. Bai Qige was stunned. Her tense heartstrings seemed to loosen a lot. She turned around and shook her head towards Junjun: "Deng Junjun misunderstood. I'm not worried about the ambush and the loss of food, grass and baggage." One thing concerns me more than this, the middle-aged man who just appeared."
"Which one?" Deng Shenjun asked subconsciously. He immediately reacted when he remembered the person who had spoken to stop Lu Feidu. "Oh, that's the thin, bearded man."
Bai Qige took a breath and said solemnly: "Yes, that's him. The first time I saw him, I felt as if I had seen him somewhere. Just now, I suddenly remembered that that person was Wu Siying, the former national advisor of the Jolo River Khanate. "
"Wu Siying is the famous strategist and strategist. Wasn't he executed together with King Huoluohe Khan?" Deng Canjun was startled.
"During the battle with Jolo River, he let His Highness and I go. Then when our army broke through the Jolo River defense line and annihilated him in one fell swoop, His Highness secretly let him go in order to repay the favor. Unexpectedly, he actually drifted to the desert. Nan became a vassal of the Anling Kingdom. Is this man really... is he destined to be an enemy of Dayao in this life?" Bai Qige didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But her smile had a somewhat bitter taste.
Wu Siying is a military genius. Although he is not as good as the two generations of Bai family generals, he is better than Yi Chenjing. Bai Qige is not familiar with military tactics and strategy. In terms of military theory, she is not as good as Yi Chenjing. It is clear at a glance who is superior and inferior between the two. This battle In the battle of rebellion, Bai Qige was really not sure he could win.
Bai Qige's worries directly affected Deng Canjun. He sat aside in frustration. Deng Canjun, who had not experienced a few battles, was full of melancholy: "That **** Yan Hu is playing tricks on us. He also said that the enemies are all stragglers." Are you afraid...Have General Bai paid attention? The people who surrounded us just now have steady steps and nimble movements. They are all obviously skilled in martial arts. I am afraid that in our Guang garrison, except for the Hanqiang camp where General Ou personally teaches marksmanship, there is no one who can We are fighting them alone. If the enemy really has seven or eight thousand elite soldiers, our ninety-nine thousand troops will not be enough to fill their stomachs."
"What's the use of talking about this now? General Peng and General Ai don't know what's going on with them yet. We have to gather our forces with them first before we can make a long-term plan." Bai Qige frowned. Then she let out an almost inaudible sigh. "I do. He is very interested in the lord of the new country. There are a few things about the distant country that he does not know. It seems that it is necessary to thoroughly investigate and clean up the door after returning."
The suspicions that have been swirling in Bai Qige's mind in the past month or two have been confirmed today. Whether it is in the Royal Palace of Yaoguo or in the barracks of the Guangshu Army, people leaking information to the outside world are almost everywhere. In fact, the Five Envoys of Monan Bai Qige felt something was wrong when she came to visit. Ruan Yanluo knew too much about Yaoguo's affairs, especially about Yi Chenjing. His purpose was also very obvious. Later, the queen did not deny having secret dealings with Ruan Yanluo, which made it even deeper. Bai Qige's suspicion about the inner ghost was cleared... After all, as a queen, it was impossible to meet Ruan Yanluo directly. The person who passed on the news was most likely the person who leaked all kinds of information.
A heavy burden seemed to be placed on her back. Bai Qige was out of breath. She looked up at the clear sky. She always felt that the sunshine in a strange place was also so strange.
There are many crises and ghosts. Can she really lead the Guang garrison to victory alone? Return to the imperial capital of Yao Kingdom and reunite with Yi Chenjing.
Confidence. Unknowingly, only a tiny bit is left.
A place of longing thousands of miles away. The cold and silent Prince Dayao leaned on the railing. He stared at the empty palms and tightened his thin lips. The old general behind him had gray hair. He was shocked by the discussion between the two people just now.
"What a far-reaching plan... If anything happens to Qi Ge, the first thing I will do after I take over the throne is to crush the Yanhu Kingdom."
Under the calm tone, she clenched her flat palms tightly. The cold eyes that had not been shown for a long time once again appeared in Yi Chenjing's deep eyes.
