Episode 10 Chapter 428
Chapter 428
Ma Qian didn't expect that the Central Army soldier would dare to hit him, and the soldier who hit him was also dumbfounded, standing there motionless.
No matter how brave he was, he didn't dare to hit the county chief. He was pushed out by a sudden brute force behind him. As for who pushed him, he had no way to find out. At this time, his mind was blank.
At this moment, someone behind Ma Qian shouted: "Protect the adults!" As he spoke, a figure rushed out from the many guards, and at the same time, a long cold light was brought out. When the cold light disappeared, it was replaced by blood.
The soldier who knocked Ma Qian down was still standing in the same place, but his head had rolled off his shoulders. The scarlet blood sprayed high from his broken neck and scattered down, as if it was raining blood.
The person who came out was not someone else, but Tang Yin, who was aliased as Ma Wu and mixed into the guards.
Even though the spiritual energy in his body had dissipated, his attack was still incredibly fast. This lightning-fast slash made everyone present unable to react. They watched Tang Yin chop off the soldier's head with one knife, and everyone's faces changed.
Tang Yin looked completely as if it was a matter of course. He didn't even look at the body lying on the ground. He casually shook off the blood on the knife, then turned around to help Ma Qian up, and asked with pretended concern: "Are you okay, sir?"
At this time, Ma Qian didn't know what to say. He wanted to teach these blind central troops a lesson, but he didn't think of killing people, and he didn't have the right to execute the central troops. But the guards below took action after he was attacked, so it can't be said that he did something wrong. For a moment, Ma Qian's thoughts were a little confused.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Tang Yin took advantage of the situation and shouted to the other guards: "My lord is injured, come and protect me. These bandits who robbed Baishuixuan are disrespectful to me. Don't let any of them escape!"
Hearing his shout, people woke up from their dreams. The guards rushed and surrounded Ma Qian, protecting him and retreating again and again.
On the other side, the soldiers of the Central Army were not happy. Someone in the crowd shouted: "The local soldiers killed our brothers, we will fight them!" The Central Army looked down on the local army from the bottom of their hearts. Usually, they called the local army local soldiers.
With this man's roar, the anger of the soldiers of the Central Army was completely ignited. People gritted their teeth and moved forward at the same time. As soon as they moved, the local soldiers brought by Ma Qian also immediately came forward. The uniforms and armors of the soldiers on both sides were exactly the same, but they belonged to two camps, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. Finally, the people on both sides were almost close together, staring at me, I stared at you, and no one was convinced.
"He is the one who killed our people! Brothers, fight!" Someone on the Central Army side shouted first, and took the lead in fighting with the local army on the opposite side.
The two sides were already on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere was tense. Once they started fighting, it immediately turned into a big fight.
Although the soldiers on both sides did not use weapons, they did not hesitate to use their hands and feet, and used all their strength to hit and kick each other.
At the beginning, the Central Army relied on well-trained and aggressiveness to knock down dozens of local soldiers in a row, but there were thousands of local soldiers, and there were only more than a hundred on their side. As more and more local soldiers joined the battle, the hundreds of Central Army soldiers became more and more exhausted. Many people were pulled to the ground by the local soldiers, and fled under the punches and kicks of many soldiers.
Outside the restaurant, there was already a mess. The soldiers of the Central Army who were looting in the restaurant also heard the noise. When they went outside, they saw their companions being beaten by the soldiers of the local army. How could they just stand by and watch? They joined the fight.
Soon, hundreds of people from the Central Army also participated in the fight. The entire street in front of Baishuixuan was full of soldiers from both sides fighting and tearing each other.
When the captain of the Central Army ran out of the restaurant with two large jars of wine, he saw this scene.
He hurriedly put down the jar of wine and was about to find someone to ask what was going on. Cheng Jin ran over and said in a hurry: "Captain, it's bad. Our brothers were hacked to death by the local army!"
"What?" The captain's face changed when he heard this. His brothers were hacked to death by the local army. The other side was too bold! The captain also had a hot temper. He asked angrily, "Where is the murderer? Where is the murderer? Find him out!"
"We are looking for him, but the local army is protecting the murderer and hiding him. They also rely on their numbers to fight with us." Cheng Jin said with exaggeration.
"Damn it, tell the brothers, don't show mercy, beat them to death!" The captain had no intention of falling out with the local army, but now that someone has died on his side, if he doesn't stand up, he will have no prestige in the army in the future, and the brothers below will no longer obey him.
The struggle between the central army and the local army became more and more intense, and the two sides fought hard.
If the local army was made up of ordinary soldiers, no matter how many people there were, they would not be the opponent of the central army, but the local army had guards from the county capital, many of whom were spiritual practitioners, so the central army would not be able to take advantage of them.
Such a large-scale fight occurred in Baishuixuan, and they almost took up weapons and fought each other to death. The news soon reached Xu Lengzhi.
Xu Lengzhi has not been sleeping well in the past few days. He is worried about food and grass. He is depressed and depressed. Now he heard that there was a fight between the Central Army and the local army. The old man's anger was suddenly ignited. The war has reached such a critical stage, and there is still a situation where our own people are beating our own people. It is simply a puddle of mud that cannot be supported!
Xu Lengzhi asked the soldier who reported the news what was going on. The soldier stammered and said, "Our people went to rob Baishuixuan first, and then the county chief arrived with his people and started a fight with our people."
Ma Qian also went, why didn't the prophet tell me? Xu Lengzhi was dissatisfied, but he still scolded in a deep voice: "Go and rob Baishuixuan? Who is so brave, and who asked them to do this?"
"The people who robbed Baishuixuan were the Sixth Corps of the Scourge Army." The soldier said cautiously: "Although our people were at fault first, it was the local army who took action first, and they killed one of our soldiers as soon as they took action. Brothers, the brothers of the Scourge Army couldn’t bear it anymore and they started fighting against each other.”
We all belong to the Central Army, so of course the soldier who reported the news had to speak for his own people, and most of what he said was true.
Kill the people on your side? Xu Lengzhi felt even more unhappy after hearing this. It's okay if others don't understand the rules. Doesn't your dignified county chief also understand the rules? Even if the members of the Central Army are unforgivably guilty and deserve to die, the Central Army will handle it internally. What qualifications do your local officials have to use lynching to execute the Central Army officers and soldiers? But having said that, the people of the Scourge Army are too ignorant, and they just rush to provoke local forces at this critical moment. Isn't this causing trouble for themselves?
Xu Lengzhi stamped his feet distractedly and shouted to the guards below: "Get ready! I want to go and see for myself!"
Now that Ma Qian has come forward, Xu Lengzhi can no longer hide and relax, not to mention that when it comes to the county head, he can only handle it personally.
"General, it's not really a big deal. It's just a small conflict. Why go there in person?" A confidant who had been with Xu Lengzhi for a long time persuaded in a low voice: "Ma Qian is just the head of a district, and General Why take him seriously!"
Xu Lengzhi shook his head with a wry smile, sighed softly, and said: "The situation is now very unfavorable to us. Because of this, we should unite as one and work together to fight against the powerful enemy. This time The matter involves Ma Qian. If I don't come forward, I'm afraid Ma Qian will have a grudge. The local power cannot be underestimated. If disputes can be avoided, try to avoid them!"
"The villain just thinks that the general is too hard-working. He does everything personally..." Xu Lengzhi is also a lot of years old. As the commander-in-chief, he is already concerned about the affairs of the army. Now he also has to resolve the central issues. The long-standing conflict between the army and the local army made the guards below feel very distressed.
Xu Lengzhi smiled at his guards and said softly: "If I don't go, small things may turn into big troubles. It's better to go and have a look!" As he spoke, he got dressed and asked the guards Help him fasten his armor.
The guards could not persuade him, so they could only follow his wishes, help him put on his armor, prepare his horses, and summon the other guards.
Xu Lengzhi didn't go to fight, but to resolve conflicts, so he didn't bring too many men with him. There were only a few generals and fifty guards around him, and the group rode to Baishuixuan on horseback.
When they arrived, the fighting here was still going on. Looking up, almost everyone on the battlefield was dishonored. Either their helmets had been beaten off, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, or their clothes and armor were torn, and their bodies were still stained with blood.
Even if the fight reaches this level, people still have no intention of stopping, shouting and waving their fists, and desperately greeting each other's face and body.
Seeing this, Xu Lengzhi was filled with anger and his face was as gloomy as water. He urged his horse to take a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop it, commander-in-chief!"
Despite his age, he had an astonishingly loud voice. This voice was like thunder in the clear sky, and the soldiers on both sides of the fight could hear it clearly.
People turned their heads and looked around subconsciously. When they saw the person coming was Xu Lengzhi, all the soldiers present shrank their necks in fright. Those who were still entangled in each other subconsciously let go of each other, and then took several steps back, panting. He looked at Xu Lengzhi timidly.
