Xu Lengzhi was appointed by Shao Fang to resist the Feng army in Haowan County. He had command authority over the central army and the right to mobilize the local army. Whether it was the central army or the local army, Xu Lengzhi was like a mouse when he saw him.
Cat-like.
Seeing Xu Lengzhi coming, Ma Qian hurriedly squeezed out from among the many guards, walked quickly to Xu Lengzhi's horse, bowed respectfully, and said: "I have seen the general!"
Looking at Ma Qian, who had a serious face but erratic eyes, Xu Lengzhi wanted to scold him, but he still endured it, smiled calmly, waved his hand and said, "Master Ma, there is no need to be polite."
After a pause, he added: "Since Mr. Ma is here, it's easy to explain. I wonder why our soldiers are fighting here?"
Ma Qian's face straightened and he said: "The general doesn't know. It's the brothers from the Central Army who are so lawless that they openly smashed and robbed Baishui Xuan. When the subordinates heard the news, they rushed there with their troops. They wanted to stop the brothers from the Central Army, but they didn't listen.
I advise, so I have no choice but to..."
Xu Lengzhi nodded, raised his eyes to the Central Army, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is your leader?"
"General, the villain is here!" Seeing the old marshals arriving, the captain also realized that the matter was serious, rushed forward at a trot, knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and saluted.
Xu Leng looked at him and asked: "You led the people to rob Baishuixuan?" He thought that the leader of his team was at least a corps commander, but he didn't expect that he was only a captain of a thousand men. This person
He is also brave enough.
The commander knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, and whispered: "Yes! The team is led by the villain." After a pause, he continued: "General, the reason why we started fighting with the local army is because
They bullied people too much and would kill them when they came. The brothers were really angry, so they fought with them." As he spoke, he turned back and shouted loudly: "Quickly, bring the brother who was killed just now."
Following his words, there was a commotion among the Central Army crowd, and then four soldiers carried the door panel and carried the killed Mo soldier over.
The captain looked sad and said: "Even if we were at fault first, the local army should not have done this to cut off this brother's head with a knife!"
Xu Lengzhi got off his horse, walked to the corpse, lifted up a corner of the cloak covering the corpse, and then slowly put it down. This was an unnecessary death and injury. It is a pity that this soldier did not die on the battlefield, but died on the battlefield.
In one's own hands.
He turned to look at Ma Qian and said: "Master Ma, the brothers of the Central Army are at fault. As the commander, I will give you justice, but you indulge your subordinates and kill the brothers of the Central Army. This is a bit too much."
Got it!"
Why didn't you say they came to rob my restaurant first?! Ma Qian felt resentful, but Xu Lengzhi was a general after all, several levels older than him, so he didn't dare to contradict him. Ma Qian lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing this, Xu Lengzhi also knew that he would definitely not be convinced, but if he said more, he would hurt his harmony, so he could only endure it again.
He took a deep breath and said to the captain: "Although the brothers in the local army were more ruthless, it was even more wrong for you to come to rob Baishuixuan. After all, the incident still started because of you."
The captain's heart was shocked. He rolled his eyes and said with a cry: "General, there is nothing you can do about it!"
"No way? Is there anyone else you can't help?"
"General, now the brothers in the army can only eat half a meal every day. They have to build city defenses and resist the enemy's siege. The brothers are really hungry and have no choice! We are not afraid of death and will sacrifice our lives for our country.
It's our honor, but even if we die in battle, brothers still want to die..." As he spoke, the captain began to cry, and the central sergeants below also felt the same way.
Although she didn't cry out loud, she kept wiping her tears silently.
Seeing their appearance like this, Xu Lengzhi felt bad in his heart. Whose responsibility was it for the brothers below to have enough to eat and fight on an empty stomach? Of course, it was his fault as the commander-in-chief of the army.
"I am incompetent!" Xu Lengzhi clasped his hands behind his back and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene fell into a state of sadness, suddenly, one of the four soldiers who were carrying the corpse instantly pulled out the dagger hidden in his waist, and rushed to Xu Leng with just one quick step, without saying a word.
Say, raise your hand and stab.
This incident happened so suddenly that it was beyond everyone's expectations. By the time people reacted, it was already too late to save them.
Even Xu Lengzhi was startled by the person coming. The old man reacted completely by instinct. While twisting his waist, he took half a step back.
flutter!
The Mo soldier who made a sneak attack did not stab Xu Lengzhi's vital part, and the dagger in his hand was stabbed under the opponent's ribs. The stab was deep enough, and the entire dagger blade did not penetrate into Xu Lengzhi's body, leaving only
The handle of the knife is outside.
Xu Lengzhi screamed in shock and pain, and slapped Mo Bing hard on the face. Bang! Mo Bing was beaten back several steps, and half of his face immediately swelled up.
"There is an assassin! Protect the general!" In an instant, the scene seemed to explode. The generals and guards of Xu Lengzhi and Ma Qian swarmed forward, surrounded the two of them, and protected them.
of retreat.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers surrounded the assassinating Mo Bing, slashing at him with long swords and swords in their hands.
Under the attack of so many people, the Mo soldier had no way to hide or escape. In the blink of an eye, he was cut down to the ground and could not stand up again.
This assassin is the hidden arrow personnel lurking in the Mo army. In fact, with the martial arts of the hidden arrow personnel, they will not be easily injured by ordinary Mo soldiers. However, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the surrounding guards when approaching Xu Leng,
He deliberately did not take the Spirit-Gathering Pill, which dissipated the spiritual energy all over his body. In this way, he became no different from an ordinary person. Although it did have a surprising effect in winning, he was also cut into pieces by Mo Bing and died tragically in the chaos.
Under the blade.
The tragic death of this secret agent did not end the matter, but instead attracted more secret agents to continue assassinating Xu Lengzhi.
While many guards were retreating to protect Xu Lengzhi and Ma Qian, more than a dozen people appeared out of thin air around them. These people were all wearing black spiritual armor and holding black spiritual knives. They didn't say any unnecessary nonsense. After they appeared, they immediately
He slashed at numerous guards with his sword.
Xu Lengzhi brought about fifty generals and guards, and Ma Qian's guards also numbered dozens. Adding in some Mo soldiers who hurried over, the number of soldiers around the two of them must be four to five hundred.
There are many outstanding spiritual cultivators among them. It is not easy for the hidden arrow personnel to open a gap and kill Xu Leng directly.
Seeing that the enemy had a large number of troops and formed a group, some of the secret arrow personnel also reacted quickly. Some of them cast a shadow curse in an attempt to blow up Xu Lengzhi, who was seriously injured, to death in the crowd.
The shadow curse he released hit Mo Bing, but before the man's body exploded, a spiritual cultivator took the lead and threw him back.
Bang! With a muffled sound, the Mo soldier who was under the shadow curse exploded in front of the hidden arrow personnel. The black blood sprayed in all directions did not splash on Mo Jun's body. Instead, it splashed all over the face and body of the hidden arrow personnel.
In just an instant, steam erupted from the body of the secret arrow man, and all his spiritual armor was burned away by the shadow curse he had released.
Before he could put on his spiritual armor again, the spiritual cultivator who was fighting back had already rushed towards him, and the spiritual spear in his hand stabbed into his lower abdomen. The force of this spear was so great that it directly pierced the lower abdomen of the assassin.
The tip of the gun poked out from the lower back.
The hidden arrow man received a fatal blow and didn't even say a word. He grasped the gun body tightly with one hand so that the opponent could not pull it back. He raised the spiritual knife in the other hand high and used his last remaining strength to slash at the opponent.
.
Pounce! The cold light penetrated the body of the spiritual cultivator, and blood spurted out like a fountain. They both fell to the ground almost at the same time, both dead.
This was just the beginning of the fight. More than a dozen secret assassins appeared and started a life-and-death fight with the opponent. The situation was chaotic, with the sound of the collision of iron tools and the shouts of people everywhere.
On the other side, the Central Army and the Local Army of the Mo State wanted to rush over for reinforcements. However, just a few steps after rushing out, more than a dozen assassins wearing black spiritual armor appeared in front of them. These assassins were outnumbered, but they did not lose at all.
, cutting down the Mo soldiers who were rushing over one after another.
Let's talk about Xu Lengzhi at this time. The injury caused by the knife in his ribs is unclear. It did not hurt the vital part, but it was enough to kill the old man half of his life.
The wound under his ribs was bleeding like a pillar. Xu Lengzhi's face was as pale as paper and his body was trembling suddenly. However, he still remained conscious. Even as he was being helped back by two guards, he did not forget to remind everyone around him,
There is no need to leave in a hurry. We should quickly mobilize our own troops to come over. We must capture these assassins. From them, we will surely be able to track down the spies who have sneaked into the city.
Listening to Xu Lengzhi's order, the surrounding generals and guards almost burst into tears. At this time, the old marshal didn't care about his own safety, but he was still thinking about catching the spy!
Ma Qian followed Xu Lengzhi and said with a trembling voice: "General, don't worry, we will find the spies. You must return to the county capital to heal your wounds now..."
Xu Lengzhi was happy and said: "This small injury is nothing. I have been fighting for half my life, and no more serious injury than this has killed me!"
Ma Qian grinned secretly and muttered in his heart, you are not afraid of death, but I am still fucking afraid of death!
While they were talking, another group of assassins suddenly appeared and rushed toward them.
The attacks of the assassins could be said to be more ferocious than the others. There were only five assassins in this group, but they were all extremely skilled. The five of them worked together to attack, forcing Xu Lengzhi and the numerous guards around Ma Qian to clear a path of blood.
Among these five people, there was the leader of Hidden Arrow, Cheng Jin. He spotted Xu Lengzhi in the crowd and shouted loudly. Before anyone arrived, Lingbo arrived before he raised his knife.
