Before the two sides could react, the hundreds of rebels in the front line had already landed on the ground, and the cavalry continued to shout the same words as if they had no intention of stopping.

"It's reinforcements, reinforcements from Yongning County!"

Liu Qi hugged Liu Hong and Gao Hong and shouted excitedly, this team of men and horses obviously does not belong to the rebels, and how can there be such a sharp cavalry in the city, it must be Zhao Rong, who has been waiting for an opportunity in the river, took the opportunity to save himself!

"I'm here, come back! ……”

Liu Qi's hoarse voice quickly disappeared into the darkness, and Liu Hong hurriedly ordered all the defenders to shout together.

"Liu Qi is here! Liu Qi is here! ”

In the distance, there was a neighing sound of war horses, the exhilarating sound of horses' hooves quickly turned, and the sharp whistling of the chirping of the night sky was also heard.

The defenders, who had run out of oil, wept or laughed with tears in their eyes, and after a brief release of emotion, a force seemed to flow into them from the ground, and they once again clenched their swords and guns to form a tight phalanx.

On the other hand, the rebels were embarrassed by the headless rain of arrows and wild slashing by this group of unknown cavalry, and the leader was even more frightened and shouted for his subordinates who were also clueless.

The sound of the turning horses' hooves woke up the rebel leader, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to form a formation for defense. But the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and before the rebels could be ready, the iron arrows that had been wound up shot out again, and then another burst of slashing.

After repeating it several times, the rebels who had no ability to deal with cavalry were dumbfounded, and they should first leave the range of fire lighting when encountering this situation, but they only instinctively gathered together thinking that a large number of companions could provide protection, but no matter how wide their eyes were, they still couldn't catch the movement of the more than 100 horsemen, and there was a rapid sound of horse hooves everywhere, and those ghostly cavalry suddenly came out of nowhere, taking away dozens of lives and disappearing into the darkness like a wind.

For the rebels, this almost rogue tactics were a fatal blow to morale, lacking the corresponding training and equipment, and the rebels, who had never even seen cavalry, had no power to resist in the face of the king of this cold weapon era, and thousands of people stood there helpless.

Whoa, whoa, whoa............

The rebels leaned together in panic and shivered, but this pitiful sense of security was soon lost in the neat and murderous footsteps behind them.

The first to come into view were scattered rebels scurrying with their heads, and to their astonishment, they saw that the friendly troops of the brigade did not join them for protection, but shouted "Officers and soldiers are coming!" "Continue running in the direction of the city gate.

The gripping footsteps got closer and faster, and then countless brightly armored officers and soldiers poured out of the darkness.

"Kill!"

The leading general waved his sword and shouted, and the reinforcements behind him rushed straight into the rebel formation.

Reinforcements were fast but always in tight formation, with the soldiers in the front row advancing with large shields in hand, while the soldiers behind them swung spears and halberds to harvest the lives of the enemy.

The reinforcements were not many, but they were on a rampage like a giant elephant rushing into a flock, and the rebels who could not escape could do anything but let out a wail before being crushed.

In addition to the external conditions such as troops and equipment, firm faith, strict discipline, strong will to fight and other invisible factors are also important conditions for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army.

The sound of sharp blades piercing into the human body, the sound of blood gushing and the screams of the seriously wounded and dying seemed to the ears of the determined defenders to cheer them on, but at this moment, the rebels listened to them like an invisible hand that quietly drained their courage and confidence, and the rebels who were superior in numbers but had no morale were killed in just one stick of incense (two and a half minutes).

In a panic retreat, the rebel leader was killed on the spot by an iron arrow shot into the back of the neck by the cavalry constantly harassing from the flanks, and the retreat quickly collapsed.

After driving this rebel army out of the city, almost all the remaining rebels in the city were looting everywhere, these stragglers were not a problem, the reinforcements rushed to other places to drive away the rebels, Gao Hong and Liu Hong also led the defenders to follow closely behind to collect the soldiers, and Liu Qi, who was almost out of strength, finally saw Zhao Rong with a dusty face.

Zhao Rong began to follow Zhao Zhen at the age of eighteen, as early as before Zhao Zhen came to Yizhou, he was Zhao Zhen's confidant and favorite general, when he was in Jiangzhou, Zhao Rong never left the palace as soon as Zhao Rong was the commander of the guards, and in the house, Zhao Rong was also a simple house, and Liu Qi had no deep friendship.

"See the general, the general's rescue is late and the general is frightened, and I hope the general will forgive his sins."

Zhao Rong, who was half a head taller than Liu Qi, hugged his fists and saluted, although he was pleading guilty, but the expression on his face told Liu Qi that he didn't mean this at all.

Liu Qi couldn't help but be very unhappy in his heart, thinking to himself Zhao Rong, you are too calm, until the rebels broke through the city, they didn't come to save me until the rebels broke through the city, it wasn't for the general's whimsical action An impassioned and inspiring speech, I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that there will be no scum left after being swallowed by the hungry rebels whose eyes are green.

Liu Qi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Zhao Rong had indeed chosen the best time, and even he didn't expect that the rebels would be able to capture the city in the blink of an eye, now is not the time to speak, and this has to be considered and asked again, after all, Zhao Rong arrived in time, and the days of working together in the future will be long, so we must have a good relationship.

After suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Liu Qi tried his best to make a letter of gratitude and said: "Where is it, Ji Sheng came to save me in time, it's too late to be grateful, what a crime?" I'm going to ask for credit for Ji Sheng, come on, come on, tell me how you broke through the army of thieves and entered the city? ”

But Zhao Rong didn't seem to appreciate it, and was indifferent in the face of Liu Qi, who took the initiative to show favor, and still gave a slight salute without expression: "All the orders of the king, the last general will not dare to take credit, and the remaining thieves in the city are still numerous. ”

After Zhao Rong finished speaking, he ordered ten cavalrymen to stay to protect Liu Qi, and turned around and got on his horse and left.

Liu Qi felt so bored, he casually found a tent and fell asleep, he was so tired these days, and Zhao Rong was on top of it when the sky fell, so let's ask again tomorrow............

"Appeal ......"

A few long neighs of the war horse woke up the sleeping Liu Qi, jumped up and grabbed the Shocking Treasure Knife and rushed out of the tent.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the dazzling sunlight penetrated into the eyes that were still worried, Liu Qi hurriedly raised his hand to cover the sun, this is not the time (one o'clock in the afternoon), he has slept for so long!

"General Liu!"

The surrounding soldiers saw Liu Qi and saluted solemnly.

Whew, it looks like the rebels have really been repulsed!

Liu Qi saw the lazy appearance of his subordinates and knew that the crisis had indeed passed, and his hanging heart immediately relaxed, and the reverent look in the eyes of his subordinates made his mood suddenly brighten.

Yes, this risk is worth it, and now the general raises his arms and shouts, and the soldiers and civilians of the people of the Shu Ren army still don't move their families to vote? Hmph, when the time comes, it's not about soldiers and soldiers, but people and people?

Liu Qizheng was secretly proud, and suddenly saw a group of people rushing towards him from the camp gate in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, a young man in a strong suit was led by the guards left by Zhao Rong to take the lead in approaching, and he knelt down in front of Liu Qi with a puff and bowed his head: "My nephew is late, please forgive my uncle!" ”

Liu Qi rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he looked closely, the narrow-sleeved beard made of brocade on the young man's body, the hem of the shirt was torn off and a large piece was held behind him, and he didn't know it, his face was full of dust, and he was washed out of small grooves by sweat, and the ribbon that tied his hair was loose, and his hair was messy on the outside......

"Huh? Isn't this Aggie? ”

After looking at it for a long time, Liu Qi realized that this person was Zhao Xi, Zhao Zhen's grandson, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Aji up: "Aji, what are you doing here?" How did you get here? ”

Zhao Xi didn't answer, he held Liu Qi's arm and looked up and down carefully for a long time, and after confirming that Liu Qi didn't have any missing parts, he put his heart down and said: "Fortunately, God has mercy, and my uncle is safe and sound, otherwise my nephew will have no face to return to Jiangzhou!" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly interrupted Zhao Xi's words and dragged him into the tent and said, "Eh, Aji, you don't have to talk about the rules at home when you go out, don't call me uncle again!" You quickly told me why you ran to Qu Ren, what happened at home? ”

Zhao Xi Shili said: "Uncle is relieved, everything is fine at home, it is the ancestor of the family who ordered my aunt and nephew to come with General Ji Sheng to assist my uncle ......"

Liu Qi stroked his forehead and looked at Zhao Xi helplessly: "Aji, I said that we can not talk about so many rules?" I'm begging you, don't call me uncle! Let's talk well, okay? ”

In fact, it also made Zhao Xi feel awkward to take a bite of an uncle from his peers, but the education he received since childhood made Zhao Xi dare not have the slightest act of transgression, and asked very embarrassed: "This, how should the nephew be called uncle?" ”

Liu Qiyi patted Zhao Xi's shoulder and said with a big grin: "You and I are equals, you are seventeen this year, right, I am twenty-one, just call me big brother!" ”

"Huh? I can't help it! I can't help it! Isn't this a mess of etiquette, and my nephew and grandson don't dare to obey their fate! ”

Zhao Xi was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand again and again, if he listened to this unobtrusive uncle Hu Lai, let his grandfather and father know that he had to deal with himself by family law.

Seeing that Zhao Xi reacted so violently, knowing that it was difficult to reach a consensus on this issue, Liu Qi frowned, rolled his eyes, and asked with a sneer: "Uh, Aji, Ling Zu has appointed you to a position?" Do you know who you are told to do? ”

Zhao Xi replied: "The ancestor appointed his nephew as the protector of Anyi, and the governor of grain and grass also served as the overseer, and the whole army was ordered by the uncle!" ”

"Well, that's good." Liu Qi suddenly stood up and shouted, "Zhao Xi listens to the order!" ”

Zhao Xi hurriedly got up and solemnly clasped his fists and replied, "Nephew ......"

"Huh?" Liu Qi glared.

Zhao Xi reacted and quickly changed his words: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you not to call me an uncle from now on, nor to call yourself a nephew, you and I are equals, you can call me eldest brother, you can call me my cousin directly, if you dare to disobey military law!"

It's so cool to give orders! Liu Qi was secretly proud when he saw Zhao Xi, who had no choice but to accept it.
