Chapter 312

The scattered true energy slowly flowed back into the old man's body. He lifted his wrist lightly to drive the ancient sword, shook off the blood remaining on the tip of the sword, wiped the sword with his clothes, and then carefully put it back into the sheath.

The dense true energy fluctuations in the city came, and there were no less than twenty places when he counted carefully. He was a little surprised for a moment, but soon came to his senses, put the sword on his back, pushed open the door and walked out.

He lowered his head and sighed as he walked: "Jingzhou City is almost like a sieve. I don't know if it's all Jinyiwei, or there is a third party who is spying..."

He lowered his head and hesitated, not fast, and when he walked through the street, he just passed by his apprentice. Hearing the urgent footsteps coming from his ears, he shook his head and smiled, not intending to stop, and the true energy circulated and swept away.

Seeing that the door was wide open, the apprentice paused, and ran in two steps at a time.

The first thing he saw when he entered the door was that he saw the old Liangtou lying on the ground, with blood all over his body. He was startled, and just as he opened his mouth and hadn't shouted yet, he heard a familiar voice.

"Disciple, disciple, don't shout! You will die even if you shout! Come and help me up, I have something to tell you."

Running over to help up the old Liangtou on the ground, the disciple cried with snot and tears. How could he not be heartbroken when his master, who had been with him day and night for more than ten years, died in front of him.

And the old Liangtou smiled as if he was relieved, and wanted to wipe the tears from his face, but he didn't have the strength to raise his hand. He could only drag his weak voice and scold: "Cry chicken feathers, I will die in a few years if I don't die today. The sooner I die, the sooner I will be reborn, and I can save a few pounds of wine, it's a profit!"

"Master..."

"Don't cry! Wipe your tears and listen to me."

The disciple wiped his tears, "Master, you say it. Whoever makes a move, the disciple will definitely avenge you!"

"No, don't avenge me." said the old Liangtou.

He raised his fingers with difficulty and continued, "In the interlayer of the cabinet at the head of the kang, there are 1,500 taels of silver and a letter. The silver is what I left for you to marry a wife, so spend it sparingly! As for the letter, it is a great favor, just consider it as a gift when I marry you a wife."

"When you...when you are desperate, that, that letter can, can save you, your life."

"Cough cough cough..."

The injury was so severe that in the end, Lao Liangtou could not speak clearly and was intermittent. But his skinny, knuckle-marked, blood-stained hand tightly grasped the apprentice's wrist, and he was already on his deathbed.

The apprentice did not remember how much silver he had, and at this time he had only one thought: to save the master!

"Master, hold on, I'll go find a doctor!" He tried to hold back his sadness and wanted to stand up, but was held down by Lao Liangtou.

Old Liang spit out two more mouthfuls of blood, mumbling constantly, and holding up his last strength, he exhorted: "Disciple, don't avenge me, good, good, live, live!"

Then the strength of grabbing the disciple's wrist gradually dissipated, and the skinny hand fell to the ground powerlessly, swallowing the last breath.

"Master!"

...

While killing people in the city, people were also killing people outside the city.

Riding a horse, Chen Fangqing slowly accumulated strength and threw the spear in his hand fiercely. After flying for a distance, it accurately pierced the abdomen of a Hu scout and nailed it to the ground.

The horse under his crotch roared, and Chen Fangqing clamped the horse's belly and lowered his body to the horse's back. He pulled out the bloody spear with his low hand, shook the blood off the spear with force, galloped for a distance on the horse, and used the remaining force of the horse to throw the spear again with force.

After several rounds of throwing, he retracted it, and threw it again after retracting it. The horse under his crotch was so tired that he kept exhaling white air. Only then did he pull the reins, stop to let the horse rest, and turned around to ask: "What time is it?"

"General, it's almost half past midnight." The scout behind him looked up at the sky, calculated silently in his heart and answered.

Chen Fangqing exhaled a breath of turbid air and asked carefully: "Have the Hu people's scouts been cleared?"

"Almost. We cast a large net, so it's normal to miss a few fish. But fortunately, we cast several layers of nets, and there are martial arts masters to help, so the fish can't escape." The person behind him replied.

"That's good." Chen Fangqing nodded, dismounted and ordered: "Rest in place for half a quarter of an hour, change horses to pull the left and right distance, and chase out another twenty miles, clear every inch."

"Yes!"

The order was passed from one person to another, and soon the figures became shorter and almost disappeared into the grass.

Just as they dismounted to rest, Qiu Rulin, Li Lianfu and Ahu Botutie called the messengers almost at the same time in several camps outside Jingzhou City.

"Pass the order down, move the camp!"

The order was passed down, and soon the sound of footsteps, the friction of weapons, and the noise of people and horses mixed together, noisy and disturbing.

At the end of the midnight hour, the three took the horses led by their subordinates, climbed on the horses, looked at the solemn and silent soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted in a deep voice: "It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers and use them in one hour. Tonight is the time to make achievements. Everyone, follow me to the north!"

"North!" The response was like thunder.

The troops led by the three people walked out of the barracks one after another. It was already the beginning of the hour of the first zodiac. Chen Fangqing rode past and just passed by the three people one after another. They nodded to each other and said nothing more.

The soldiers kept passing by, and Liu Huanzhou and Mr. Liu stopped their horses beside them, waiting for Chen Fangqing.

Seeing the two, Chen Fangqing hurriedly bowed, "General."

"I'm glad you're back." Liu Huanzhou said in a deep voice, worriedly: "Fangqing, Mr. Liu has already selected the soldiers, firearms and camp materials. Remember to follow closely and never go too far. The movement of tens of thousands of soldiers and the survival of Hexi are all in your hands, so don't be careless!"

Chen Fangqing solemnly issued a military order: "General, please rest assured, I will follow closely and will never make any mistakes."

"Please!"

Liu Huanzhou bowed to Chen Fangqing and Mr. Liu, and the two bowed in return, then turned their horses and rode in opposite directions.

The Hu people on guard saw from a distance that the blurred boundary between the grassland and the sky suddenly flashed a dark light, and at the same time heard a faint "tick-tick" sound from afar.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and asked his companion next to him: "Did you see the flash of light in the distance?"

"Where is it? You must have seen it wrong." The companion replied.

It should be seen wrong! He thought secretly, just about to turn around and take a nap, but saw that the companion in front of him was pierced by an arrow.

The blood splashed on his face, and the fishy sweetness rushed into his nose, making him dizzy. Before he came to his senses, arrows rained down like raindrops, and soon he followed his companions.

In the distance, the heavy cavalry, both men and horses in armor, began to charge, and the heavy hooves were deafening.

The Hu people, who were unprepared and even without clothes, naturally could not stop the charge of the well-equipped heavy cavalry. Five or six out of ten died under the horses' hooves. Before the remaining soldiers had time to pick up weapons to resist, the infantry following closely behind had already rushed over and continued the offensive.

The heavy cavalry continued to charge, and when the sky was bright, the distance of advancement reached more than 60 miles. With the light cavalry on the left and right to cover, it was naturally easy to advance, and there was almost no effective resistance.

This sudden attack lasted for three days and advanced more than 200 miles to the north before stopping. There was not much obstruction in the first two days. From the third day, there were lucky fish that slipped through the net and sent back the news. The Hu people were prepared and organized several obstructions.

But with the heavy cavalry leading the way, it only delayed some time and failed to stop the advancement to the north.

It can be said that it ended in a great victory!
