In the night, silhouettes of people and war horses ran through the woods, and there was a hilly area with a slightly wider view. The dilapidated dirt road extended downwards along the hillside, and in the distance was a deserted village that had become a ghost.

The village was abandoned recently. Although it is no longer empty, there are still not many traces of the ravages of time. This place... is close to Dengzhou. The silver bottle tied to the horseback identifies it - more than a month ago

, she also came here once with the soldiers carrying the Wei army.

There was a sound of wind passing by in the ears, and there was a slight noise in the distance. It was a small-scale fight that was taking place. The girl tied to the horse held her breath. Someone in the horse team here was looking towards the horse team over there.

He cast an attentive gaze in the darkness, and after a while, the sound of fighting stopped.

A man on horseback came running from a distance, holding a torch in his hand. When he got close, he reached out and took off the two heads hanging from his waist. They still placed them in the mud ditch on the side of the road. Yin Ping closed his eyes and listened.

The man said: "Two Green Foresters."

"Couple?" Someone seemed to have glanced into the mud ditch.

"The dog man and woman died together."

There was a whining sound of struggle on the horse behind, followed by a slap, and another sound after the slap. The man on the horse scolded: "Little bastard!" Yue Yun probably struggled hard, and then was beaten again.

.

In the night wind, someone laughed contemptuously, and the cavalry continued to move forward.

The village is getting closer, and Dengzhou is getting closer and closer.

Being close to Dengzhou means that the possibility of her and her brother being rescued is getting smaller and smaller...

************

Probably no one can describe in detail what kind of concept war is.

To sum it up, the closest sentence may be "use every possible means." Since the beginning of mankind, no matter what means or things, as long as they can happen, they are likely to appear in war. Weapons

North Korea has been at war for several years.

Xiangyang, which changed hands again two months ago, has just become the front line of the war. Today, there is still a chaotic and dangerous area between Xiangyang, Dengzhou, and Xinye.

The scattering of the aboriginal people, the gathering of refugees, and the fighting between the Beiwei Army, the Daqi Army, and the Jin Army in the vicinity turned hundreds of miles around into a chaotic killing ground.

Before the large forces gathered and counterattacked, the Puppet Qi patrols focused on intercepting and killing the refugees. For them, the refugees who had come here were basically shot and killed. The Beiwei army sent out teams to fight against the initial friction.

Here, try to pick up the refugees as much as possible.

Last month, for a group of common people, the Puppet Qi army tried to ambush the Wei army. After Niu Gao and others saw through the plan, they carried out a counter-siege, and then encircled the point for reinforcements to expand the results. Puppet Qi reinforcements cooperated with the Jin people to supervise the battle troops

They massacred the people to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. This small battle almost expanded. Later, Beiwei's army gained a slight upper hand and restrained its troops. Less than half of the refugees were massacred.

Similar conflicts are common in these days, but after large-scale conflicts almost broke out, both sides temporarily maintained a restrained attitude here. The Beiwei army had just won a great victory, and the other side had also set up defensive formations. It was necessary to

The purpose is to digest the experience gained after this great victory and consolidate the confidence of the army.

The Daqi army was timid and timid, relatively speaking, they were more willing to intercept the refugees heading south, kill them all, and rob them of their last belongings. However, under the pressure of the Jin people to supervise the war, they had no choice but to continue the stalemate here.

As for the Jin people, when they first supported the Daqi regime, they also left several troops in the Central Plains - but these troops were not elite. Even though there were a few Jurchen founding strong soldiers to support them, local officials had been in the Central Plains for several years.

No one dared to resist the opponent directly. These people were pampered and their morale was gradually weakened. When they arrived at Dengzhou and Xinye, the generals of the Jin army urged the Daqi army to go into battle, while the Daqi army kept asking for help and delaying

.

In the general direction, the three forces were in a stalemate. In the gap between the confrontation, the situation of the refugees being massacred did not ease. At the suggestion of his aide Sun Ge, the Beiwei Army sent a team of three to five hundred people to patrol in batches to respond.

People traveling from the north to the south occasionally saw the tragic images of civilians being slaughtered and looted in the woods and fields, the old people and children who were killed, and the women who were raped and killed... After these soldiers came back

, talking about these things, I wish I could rush to the battlefield immediately, drink the enemy's bones and blood, and eat his skin and flesh. These soldiers have become more capable warriors.

Of course, in the rear of the Beiwei Army, there are also some different voices fermenting because of these things. In order to prevent spies from the north from entering the city, the Beiwei Army strictly controlled Xiangyang. Most of the refugees only took a short rest before being diverted southward. There were also some from the south.

Scholars and officials inquired about many things and keenly realized that the Wei army was not incapable of continuing to advance northward.

If the Beiwei army pushed northward with a more determined attitude, instead of sending only three to five hundred people out of the city at a time, these people who died between Xiangyang, Dengzhou, and Xinye might be able to survive.

Of course, after a great victory, such noise is not obvious yet. Yin Ping, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is not very clear about these things, but what she can understand is that her father will not and cannot push out the army.

Xiangyang, who came to save his two children, and even his father himself, could not let go of Xiangyang at this time and chase them from behind. After realizing the strength of the team that captured him and Yue Yun, Yin Ping

Deep down in his heart, he vaguely realized that his siblings' chances of survival were slim.

The scar-faced giant who attacked the two sisters in Xiangyang City two days ago defeated her and Yue Yun in just three moves. When they woke up, they were already outside Xiangyang City. Waiting for them was a military force.

The core team of about forty or fifty people, including Jin Youhan, caught the siblings and ran around in a detour outside Xiangyang City.

There were forty or fifty people in the core. Separated from them, it was obvious from the occasional reports that there were more people. At this time, the elite members of Beiwei's army had been chased out of the city, and the army was probably heavily fortified.

When he woke up, he first calmly recognized the situation in front of him. However, after an encounter with the Beiwei Army scout team, Yin Ping began to realize that something was wrong.

The leader of this team is a Jurchen in his thirties, and the dozens of people he leads are probably all top-notch masters in the green forest. Among them, the one with the highest martial arts skills is the scar-faced man who entered the city before.

This man had a ferocious face and didn't speak much, but when the leader of the Jin people faced him, he also called him Master Lu. Yin Ping didn't have much experience in the world, but he vaguely thought of someone in his mind. He was a master-level master who once traversed the North.

"King of Hell" Lu Tuo.

When Ning Yi, the inner demon, led the Secret Investigation Department, he collected all kinds of information from the world. After Ning Yi rebelled, the Secret Investigation Department was disbanded, but many things were secretly preserved by the Chengguo Princess Palace and later passed on to the crown prince.

Jun Wu, as the prince's confidant, Yue Fei, Wen Renbuer and others can naturally access it. During the process of Yue Fei's formation of the Beiwei Army, many Green Forest people also joined him. Yin Ping flipped through the archived information and saw that

Pass Lu Tuo's name.

Compared with the great masters such as Fang La, Zhou Tong, and Lin Zongwu, the "Fierce King of Hell" Lu Tuo's martial arts skills are slightly inferior, and his sense of presence is also much inferior. The main reason is that he does not command a force or have independence.

Although he is a strong man, from the beginning to the end, he is just a lackey of the Qi family, a wealthy family in Hebei.

Among the several aristocratic families in the Wu Dynasty, the one with the worst reputation was probably the Qi family in Hebei. Before the Blackwater Alliance, the aristocratic families in Hebei had Wang Qisong's Wang family to balance them, and Hedong also had Zuo Duanyou's.

The Zuo family responded. The male members of the Wang Qisong tribe were almost extinct, and the female relatives retreated south, leaving only the Qi family in Hebei.

Due to the favorable geographical location, the Qi family was most keen on doing business with the Liao Kingdom and was a staunch advocate of peace. For this reason, when a nobleman from the Liao Kingdom fell into Jiangning, the Qi family sent Lu Tuo to rescue him and also sent people to assassinate him who was about to recover.

Qin Siyuan got up, and if Lu Tuo hadn't been responsible for the rescue mission at that time, Qin Siyuan and Ning Yi, who happened to meet at the right time, would not have had the luck to meet such a vicious person as Lu Tuo.

After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, the Qi family was still a peace faction and was the first to have contact with the Jin people. Later, when the Jin people occupied the Central Plains, the Qi family took refuge in the Jin Kingdom and secretly supported Pingdong General Li Xizhi. In the process, Lu

Tuo has always relied on the Qi family to act. His martial arts may be inferior to that of Lin Zongwu, who is now famous. However, there are few opponents in the green forest. Apart from his father, among the Beiwei army, perhaps only Pioneer Gao Chong can compete with him.

In the competition between the military formations, the meaning of the master is to become a general and unite the morale of the army, but the pursuit and escape of the two teams is another matter. On the first day, this team was intercepted twice by scouts, and all the scouts in the army were

The elites, in front of these masters, were hard to beat. Lu Tuo didn't even take action himself, the people who rushed over caught up with the scouts and killed them.

Yin Ping could tell that the middle-aged Taoist nun who was riding with her and responsible for watching over her was tall and thin, and her palms were as hard as fine iron, with a hint of green, which was a symbol of the ultimate state of claw skills.

The middle-aged man responsible for guarding Yue Yun in the rear has a white face and a beardless face. He is short in stature and shaped like a ball. When he dismounts from his horse, he walks as if his feet are not touching the ground. This is a manifestation of the profound soft skills of the Thirteen Taibo. According to the information from the Secret Investigation Department

, seems to be Qiu Tianhai, a murderer who once hid in Shandong. He has white ape arms, cotton palms, and extremely good elastic leg skills. In his early years, he killed his senior sister and his family and disappeared in the green forest. At this time, the Kingdom of Jin overthrew the Central Plains. He finally

Out again.

In addition to these two people, there are also outstanding Qinggong masters among these people, including masters of Tang Shou and Wuzang Quan, masters of stick techniques, and fierce martial arts masters whose moves have been integrated into every gesture. Even the Jurchens among them,

All of them are agile and have excellent archery skills. It is obvious that these people are the elite team that the Jurchens have spent their efforts to recruit and build.

Even though there are many experts in the Beiwei Army, it is not easy to gather so many experts at once.

On the first day, Yinping felt lucky. However, this group of troops twice killed all the Beiwei Army scouts they encountered. At night, the Beiwei Army general Xu Shuang who was chasing behind him was also ambushed and killed by the enemy. Yinping felt that he was lucky.

It sank.

She has been taught by Yue Fei since she was a child, and she can already see that this team is led by the senior Jurchen, who obviously has high self-esteem and wants to disrupt the situation in Xiangyang on his own. In such a large area, there are more than a hundred masters running around, isn't it?

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers can surround them. Even if a small group of elites can catch up from behind, it will be difficult to get away without Gao Chong and other experts leading the team. And sending out a large army is an adventure, and no one can do it.

I don’t know if the armies of Da Qi and Jin were ready to attack Xiangyang.

The team ran around and around, and on the second day, they finally headed towards Dengzhou. Occasionally they met refugees, and then they met several groups of rescuers. After being killed by each other one after another, Yin Ping started to talk and laugh with this group of people.

Only then did I know that the strange movements in Xiangyang had alarmed the nearby green forests. Many green forest people in Dengzhou and Xinye had also mobilized to save General Yue's two relatives. But how could ordinary mobs defeat these people?

First-rate masters who have been specially trained and know how to cooperate are often only slightly close before they are detected and killed. The message cannot be spread no matter what.

There were also two occasions when the opponent captured the Green Forest Man in front of Yin Ping and Yue Yun, and humiliated him before killing him. Xiao Yue Yun got very angry and cursed, and Qiu Tianhai, who was in charge of guarding him, had a very bad temperament, so he laughed.

He laughed, then beat him up for entertainment on the way.

Late that night, Lu Tuo and his party approached the deserted village and gradually approached Dengzhou. In fact, the distance between Xiangyang and Dengzhou could not be reached in two days with the strength of these people. It was just the leading woman.

The real person had a high self-esteem. This group of people obviously did not belong to the military control of Dengzhou or Xinye. Lu Tuo grabbed Yin Ping and Yue Yun just on a whim. After catching them, they took a detour nearby just to lure them out.

The Xiangyang defenders attacked, and then notified Dengzhou, Xinye and other places to wait for opportunities to attack.

After running all the way, everyone was a little tired. When they arrived near the village, they stopped, lit a bonfire, and ate some dry food. Yin Ping and Yue Yun were put down, and the pieces of cloth that blocked their mouths were removed.

The man came over and put two bowls of water in front of them. Yue Yun was beaten badly before and is still recovering. Yue Yinping looked at the man and said, "If you don't untie my hands, I won't be able to drink."

"Then lie down and drink."

"Heart Fist Li Gangyang! You are also a Han Chinese, why..."

Yinping raised his head and called out the man's name. Before he finished speaking, he heard a snap in the night, and the Taoist nun next to him slapped Yue Yinping firmly in the face.

Above. Yin Ping's martial arts skills are basically good, but when faced with this slap, he didn't even notice it. His mouth was sweet and his mind was buzzing. The Taoist nun said coldly: "Women, please be quiet.

If you talk too much, follow the example of your brother and I will pluck out your tongue."

Yin Ping's eyes were filled with blood. He turned to look at the Taoist nun, and his face gradually became swollen. People around him laughed loudly: "Li Gangyang, you have been recognized. You are indeed famous."

"This little girl is quite knowledgeable."
