Chapter 1062

"Stop." Captain Lu shouted, stopping the team of soldiers who wanted to attack. Some pretended not to hear and tried to shoot the arrows in their hands at a closer distance.

Seeing this, Captain Lu rushed over and beat the soldiers to spit blood in a few strokes.

"Put down all your weapons immediately and return to the team." Captain Lu ordered very sternly, "The rest of you stand up and return to your positions."

The voice was not loud, but everyone in the parade ground could hear it clearly.

Lu Xinghe, as a guard officer of a small border town, was a captain. As the chief instructor, he was responsible for the training of all soldiers and was now at the second level of internal strength.

In military terms, it also means that in addition to his immediate superior, Captain Lu is the second person in charge. As a loyal person, he was also thrown into prison. Of course, he is now the first person in charge.

The few people who came with him also had a great reputation here and helped maintain discipline in the parade ground.

Captain Lu's arrangement was very useful, and soon the noisy crowd settled down again.

"Report, all personnel have expired." After the arrangement was completed, Captain Lu came to Zhao Man and replied.

Zhao Man stood on the high platform, and there were many soldiers kneeling beside him who resisted. They were all subdued by their personal soldiers.

The dark crowd below made Zhao Man, who had never experienced such a battle, feel a little excited.

"Captain Lu, send a team to notify them and ask some people to go to the city lord's mansion to prepare. I will go there in a while."

"Yes." Captain Lu quickly sent someone to handle it.

In fact, these soldiers did not understand what happened. A few days ago, many big men in the army disappeared, and the city was under martial law, and many officers were airdropped, which made everyone dissatisfied.

Originally, this time they wanted to see what Lord Liao said, but as soon as they gathered, Lord Liao was injured by a young man, and the officer who disappeared before also appeared, and seemed to be with that person, so everyone waited quietly.

It was just because they trusted Captain Lu. It can be said that the entire army was under the charge of Captain Lu, and Captain Lu had a good way of managing the army, so all the soldiers respected him.

Captain Lu took a deep breath and said loudly: "This is the sixth prince of the kingdom, Mr. Zhao. He came here to capture the rebel because he discovered the rebellion of Lord Liao."

After a brief introduction, Captain Lu stepped back and let Zhao Man out.

Zhao Man simply stepped forward, and the soldiers felt a sense of pressure from the top of their heads, which made them pause.

"Soldiers, it turned out that Lord Liao colluded with outsiders and intended to rebel. This treason will be punished. Now some people are hiding among you. Those who report will be rewarded, and those who hide will be punished."

For the second best in the country, especially the identity of the prince, the soldiers dared not disobey. Soon a group of people who hid deeper were pushed out, and some people fled with their teachers and apprentices, and were directly hacked to death by the people arranged by Captain Lu.

"These traitors are not worth dying for. Tell me why we should train hard."

"Defend the country." The uniform slogans resounded throughout the sky, and many residents could feel the vibration.

"Yes, defending your country is protecting your home. Some people want to take away your wealth, wife and children. Are you willing?"

"No, no." The soldiers roared. The army has been instilling this kind of thought. Under the guidance of Zhao Man, the blood of a group of people slowly heated up.

"It's time to prove you. Tell me, have you been messing around since you joined the army?"

"No." Captain Lu took the lead and shouted, and the soldiers behind him also shouted in unison.

Every soldier trained hard, and every drop of sweat was sprinkled on the training ground.

"Then are you a group of people who can't even hold their weapons steadily on the battlefield and dare not face the enemy?" Zhao Man asked again.

"No." The soldiers below roared one after another. It can be heard that the people below are very unhappy that Zhao Man doubted them.

"The problem is that I don't believe it!" Zhao Man shouted directly, pointing the knife in his hand in the direction of the capital, "There are more enemies there now, waiting for us to defeat them. What you can do now is to prove it with one victory after another. Tell me, can you do it? No matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how much suffering we have, we must meet them head-on and defeat them in one fell swoop. Tell me loudly, can you do it?"

"Yes." Some people shouted until their voices were hoarse, but they continued to shout. The dignity of soldiers should not be trampled on.

"Since you can, then follow me to fight. Soldiers, it's time to prove yourself. Either rich or dead, there is no other choice, everything depends on yourself." Zhao Man shouted, "Pack up everything now and prepare to set off in the afternoon."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Lord Liao looked at everything in front of him. He knew the combat effectiveness of this legion, but the leaders of such an army were all sent by the royal family themselves, and no one else was allowed. As for the general, he was a puppet and useless.

"Sixth Prince, spare my life, I am willing to turn over a new leaf, I can be your insider." In order to save his life, City Lord Liao didn't care about his face, his face was covered with tears and snot, and the subordinates around him also begged for mercy.

"You didn't think so, Captain Lu, you are in charge of all this, you have the full power to kill first and report later."

"Yes," Captain Lu took the order and hurried away. It was so urgent, there were many things to arrange, and he had to hurry up.

"As for you, I wanted to play with you, but unfortunately there is not much time, all of you will be beheaded in public."

"No, please spare my life, Sixth Prince. I am willing to repent and be a vanguard." A group of people howled and howled, trying to save their lives.

Is it possible? Only then did I think of this. What were you doing before? You only thought about glory and wealth. Didn't you realize the risks behind it?

Soon, the dead heads of this group of people were hung on the school grounds as a warning to these unruly people.

Including City Lord Liao, the bloody scene made many people passing by vomit.

After Gu Zheng waited for the informant to arrive, everyone came out. The long-lost sunshine also made these people breathe greedily.

Gu Zheng did not go to the meeting hall with these people, but returned directly to the original mansion. Shuang'er was already very anxious, walking around in the yard.

However, Xueer still had the leisure to admire the flowers beside her.

"Sister Xue'er, aren't you worried?" Shuang'er didn't understand why Xue'er was so calm in this scene. Aren't you afraid that they would kill her? After all, Zhao Man is in their hands.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xue'er comforted Shuang'er. In fact, this conversation had happened many times, and Xue'er didn't tell Shuang'er what was so great about Gu Zheng.

Think about it, even Zhao Man regards this as an ordinary person, can he be an ordinary person?

Just as he was talking, the door outside suddenly opened. Xuehe Shuang'er felt nervous and saw that it was Gu Zheng who had returned.

Xue'er glanced at Shuang'er proudly, saying that she must be awesome and already knew the result.

Shuang'er responded with helpless eyes.

"Why are you alone, Zhao Man?" Xueer knew that Gu Zheng must be fine, but since she didn't see Zhao Man, she was still a little worried.

"It's okay. We can make him a sword in the meeting hall of the city lord's palace later." Xueer was relieved.

"Then go quickly, don't wait any longer." Shuang'er urged

"Okay." Since he was so anxious, Gu Zheng took them both with him.

When passing by the door, Xueer was surprised to find the guard at the door. She remembered that he was there just now, but who cares.

When Gu Zheng and the other three arrived at the meeting hall, earth-shattering roars came from the distance, and even here they could hear them quietly.

Looking at these two curious babies, Gu Zheng said directly: "Just ask Zhao Man when you come back. I don't know anything."

If this continues, I will not only be a queen, but also a part-time know-it-all.

There are only three of them in the empty hall now, and the others are still simply cleaning up. After all, after staying in such a harsh environment for a few days, who can bear it if I don't go back and clean up quickly?

Not to mention how those people would react when they returned home, Gu Zheng and the other two people directly found their seats and sat down.

Shuang'er found that there was no one in the huge city lord's mansion, so she had to pour tea and water by herself. Anyway, she was used to this.

One after another, people from before came here, and the hall was no longer deserted, but became lively. They were all discussing what to do next. They didn't know that Zhao Man had decided to set out in the afternoon, and the soldiers were so quick. .

When everyone arrived, Zhao Man happened to come over too.

He greeted everyone politely and pointed to the first person in the cell who spoke to him, "That principal."

"Sixth Prince, I'm Liu Wei." The person in charge, Liu Wei, quickly stood up and introduced himself.

"Yes, Liu Wei, now I order you to be fully responsible for all operations of this city. Remember to appease everyone. I have decided to set off with the soldiers in the afternoon."

Liu Wei's mind went blank. He was stunned by the huge pie. Looking at the envious eyes of his colleagues around him, he forgot to reply for a while.

Zhao Man didn't pay attention and took Gu Zheng and the others out directly.

"I'm willing." By the time Li Wei came back to his senses and replied, Zhao Man had already disappeared.

This is a step to the top. You must know that city lords are generally only held by royal nobles. Generally, they don't have extraordinary achievements. How can they get it? I have to seize this opportunity.

Ignoring the laughter of some people, Liu Wei began to issue his first order, and everyone obeyed the order.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon, Zhao Man set off with his army, each carrying three days' rations.

The scorching sun has set, and the golden afterglow envelopes the earth. A team of nearly two thousand people marches forward with high morale, and with a belief, they tear apart all the enemies in front of them.

It is about 300 kilometers from the border town to Wangyue City, and it takes about seven days. If you speed up, you can get there in five days. If you don't take physical fitness into consideration, you can get there in three days. However, the soldiers are completely useless. Not only is there no fighting ability, but he also has to rest for quite some time.

Zhao Man will definitely not be like this, and is currently discussing with a simple map.

As for Gu Zheng, he followed Xue'er leisurely in the carriage and enjoyed his leisurely time.

"Sixth Prince, this is what I think. We will pass here according to the original plan." Captain Lu pointed to a place on the map, "This place is a small valley, there is nothing special about it."

After a pause, Lieutenant Lu continued: "The main thing is our next action. About half a day's journey to the north, there is a city called Luoye City. We can go there directly to supplement, or continue walking forward. Also, slow down a bit and wait for supplies later.”

Zhao Man took the map and planned it over and over for a long time. The second option was undoubtedly the safest. There was no need to take risks, just wait for the logistics to catch up and set off here.

The first option requires going to Luoye City, but I don't know whether the other side has surrendered to the rebels. Although I can go in and out alone, what if the other side is desperate and burns the food and grass?

Zhao Man decided to be safe and use the second option directly.

Zhao Man had a vague premonition in his heart that the city lord had also rebelled, and brought his private soldiers and army to join the rebel army.

In this case, he would get nothing by taking his men and horses there. It would not only waste time, but also be a great waste of the soldiers' physical strength.

After deciding the route, the rest is to move forward, move forward, and move forward.

In the endless wilderness, a group of people slowly moved forward, not knowing what the future would be, wealth or death?

Three days later, the sky was full of raging winds, whistling past, and rolling yellow dust was flying all over the sky.

Zhao Man and his men had already arrived in front of this valley, and now Zhao Man was listening to the scouts to get news.

This was the scout arranged by Zhao Man when he set out. One person and three horses went to inquire about the news of the king's capital.

When I came back, I happened to meet here.

After letting the scout rest and drink a little water, Zhao Man couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on?"

The scout had a pretty face under his messy hair. When he heard the Sixth Prince's question, he put down the items in his hand and stood at attention, saying, "The situation is not optimistic now."

The young scout knew what Zhao Man wanted to know, "Now the army led by the eldest prince has withdrawn from the capital and is now stationed outside. The general is Lord Lin Zui, and there was a big battle three days ago. It is said that we lost."

All kinds of unfavorable news came into his ears, and Zhao Man wanted to fly over at once, but it was useless.

Looking at the neat and tidy army behind, this is the key to turning defeat into victory.

"You've worked hard, you go down first." Zhao Man anxiously waved the scout away. Captain Lu was also on the side and said to Zhao Man, "The situation is a bit critical now, otherwise we should rush over."

"No, the closer we get here, the more stable we must be." Zhao Man flatly rejected this suggestion.

"Go through the canyon as soon as possible. The scout has just checked and there is no enemy ambush." ​​Zhao Man ordered.

"Yes," Captain Lu received the order, and the army continued to march.

If they bypassed the canyon, they would waste nearly a day. Now time is the most precious, and the enemy could not expect this army. From Captain Lu's mouth, even City Lord Liao asked to trap this group of troops in the city.

Because these people are the real royal lineage, the royal lineage troops will go to the border for training every year. It was only because Zhao Man was captured that City Lord Liao wanted to escort them over. They walked and stopped on the way. Just when they arrived, the war was over, and these soldiers could not make any waves.

The army passed by with great momentum, and all the beasts in the canyon disappeared without a trace. I don't know where they are hiding.

When they reached the middle, suddenly, the sky was dark, and dark clouds came out of nothing. In a short time, they became densely covered for dozens of miles, and the seal slowly became larger and larger.

There was a sound of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking in the air. A series of dazzling flashes shuttled through the black clouds, rushed straight into the sky, and then hit the ancient trees and rocks on the edge of the cliff.

The whole world was in a panic. The falling of gravel on the top of the mountain made the already panicked soldiers even more panicked.

If there was an ambush at this time, it would be easy to defeat the headless army, but there was no enemy on the top of the mountain.

Except for a few unlucky guys who were injured, the others were fine. Slowly, under the maintenance of the officers, the army slowly calmed down the riot.

But the thunder dragon in the sky continued to rise into the sky, and even a few lightning bolts hit Zhao Man in front of him.

Captain Lu advised Zhao Man to retreat temporarily to avoid the danger of heaven and earth.

Zhao Man stubbornly refused to give orders, because retreating meant that he was tired, which showed that God would not let everyone go, which was a huge blow to morale.

Zhao Man shouted: "Bring the battle flag."

Someone next to him heard it and hurriedly handed the battle flag to Zhao Man from the side. Zhao Man held the battle flag high, got off the horse, and moved forward slowly and firmly. Even if there was still lightning in front of him, even if he disappeared between heaven and earth in the next moment, he could not stop the thought in his heart.

Everyone was surprised to see all this, watching Zhao Man moving forward step by step. Even sporadic lightning struck Zhao Man's side, and the splashing gravel hit Zhao Man, but Zhao Man didn't care and walked forward unswervingly.

It seemed that there was a road to heaven ahead. He held high the faith in his heart and continued to move forward without retreating.

Captain Lu looked at the high-raised battle flag constantly ringing in the wind, and the back that was slowly moving forward and straight. For some reason, his eyes were a little moist, and he shouted hoarsely

"Forward." After saying that, he took the lead in keeping up with Zhao Man's pace.

"Forward" The soldiers next to him felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts, wanting to jump out of their chests,

"Forward." As the sound of advancing rang out,

"Forward." Everyone knew when to start,

"Forward." Every soldier who was advancing shouted angrily.

No matter what was ahead, no matter what was ahead, everyone followed the man holding the battle flag in front without hesitation. If the front was hell, then we would bravely go to hell.

The sky seemed to be enraged, and all the lightning was retracted. A thick beam of light gathered and illuminated the entire sky, trying to accumulate strength to destroy the insects below that despised it with one blow.

“Boom” The lightning with all its strength shot straight down, leaving only a thick white light between heaven and earth, and nothing else could be seen.

“Bang” A louder sound emerged from the air, and something with blue light exploded from the side, blocking the light column falling from the sky like lightning.
