martial arts general

Chapter 2
Looking out the window, Zhao Jiuxiao saw the sun was shining brightly, and asked, "When do the cavalry of Xuantie Kingdom usually rob villages?"

He Zhengyang: "Usually at night, around midnight."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Then the village they robbed, do you know where it is?"

He Zhengyang: "The last general has already found out."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "That's good. In this way, the general will have something to do."

After speaking, accompanied by He Zhengyang, he walked out of the house and began to wander around the entire barracks.

At the same time, he was also thinking secretly that once he made enough military achievements, he would have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Jiuxiao saw many soldiers practicing.

Some of them are practicing archery, some are practicing slashing with swords, defending with shields, and some are wrestling with other soldiers to practice balance.

There are also a large number of horses in the stables, grazing.

Zhao Jiuxiao also figured out the composition of the 3 horses under his command, which were infantry, archers, and cavalry.

After seeing him, the soldiers bowed their hands and saluted: "Greetings, General Zhao!"

With so many people shouting together, Zhao Jiuxiao received unprecedented respect.

He couldn't help but nodded: "Very good, you will continue to practice!"

He Zhengyang also said: "Don't worry, General Zhao, with me around, these people dare not be lazy."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "If they are lazy, will they be punished by you?"

He Zhengyang slapped his chest: "That's natural. In the end, someone will be sent to use whipping to deal with those soldiers who don't drill well."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Then I will trouble Deputy General He."

He Zhengyang waved his hand: "No trouble, General Zhao, go ahead and help them train at the end."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Good!"

After knowing this, he left the barracks and started wandering around Qingzhou City.

The people in Qingzhou city all knew Zhao Jiuxiao, and they bowed to salute after seeing him.

Zhao Jiuxiao readily accepted.

Qingzhou City is an important military town, and its commerce is not well developed.

However, the enemy forces faced here are not too strong, because it is not the most critical city against Xuantie Kingdom.

In addition to Qingzhou City, Tiansheng Kingdom also has five cities for defense, forming a line of defense.

Qingzhou City is on the edge of it, even if it is captured by the enemy, it is not too important.

The previous guards here were just dawdling, as long as the city was not lost, it would be considered a job.

The same is true for the enemies of the Xuantie Kingdom they faced. Although they have the upper hand, they are not considered famous generals in the world at all.

However, this situation also gave Zhao Jiuxiao the opportunity to make contributions.

Although Zhao Jiuxiao could see the market in the city, it was not as lively as he had imagined.

Even so, walking on this quaint street and looking at the respectful eyes of the people around him, he was still in a good mood.

Zhao Jiuxiao touched his body and found that he was carrying hundreds of taels of silver.

He immediately found a restaurant and jumped into it.

As soon as he came to the door, Xiao Er greeted him: "Isn't this General Zhao, come in quickly."

With the help of the other party, Zhao Jiuxiao found a seat and sat down.

Xiao Er took out a wooden sign with a menu engraved on it, and asked, "General Zhao, what would you like to order this time?"

Zhao Jiuxiao took a closer look and said, "Give me spicy chicken and a big bowl of rice."

Xiao Er was a little surprised: "General Zhao, don't you like braised noodles the most? Why don't you eat today?"

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled and said, "This general has changed his taste."

Xiaoer nodded: "Yes, General Zhao, I'll go get ready now, little one."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Not long after, the dishes and rice were served.

Zhao Jiuxiao also paid and began to enjoy it.

The diced chicken tastes good and has just the right spiciness, so he won't have to drink tea to relieve the spiciness.

The rice is even more plump, tender and delicious.

After eating, he drank another pot of tea, turned around and left, returning to the military camp.

Time came to night unconsciously.

He Zhengyang had prepared two thousand cavalry and appeared in front of Zhao Jiuxiao: "General Zhao, the final general is ready."

Zhao Jiuxiao thought for a moment and said, "Bring a thousand archers and hide in the dark to shoot arrows."

He Zhengyang: "Okay, the last general will go here."

After speaking, he found another thousand archers.

After the preparations were completed, everyone left Qingzhou City.

Under the guidance of He Zhengyang, Zhao Jiuxiao quickly found the village.

The villagers here have already become frightened birds, and they are very afraid of the cavalry of the Xuantie Kingdom.

Therefore, when they were farming, they were a little absent-minded.

Zhao Jiuxiao did not disturb them, but ordered the cavalry to ambush in the forest surrounding the village, waiting for the opportunity.

So did he himself.

Because it was the first time to lead troops into battle, Zhao Jiuxiao was always a little excited.

He could even feel his own heartbeat.

Not long after the crowd lay in ambush, a cavalry team of about a thousand people appeared in the distance.

Most of them are dressed in light black armor, with long knives hanging from their waists, holding black shields, and galloping forward on horses.

These people are the black iron country cavalry.

After arriving at the village, they rushed in without saying a word.

The villagers had been prepared for a long time and fled into the house to hide.

But the Xuantie cavalry didn't intend to let them go, so they rushed to the front of the house and shouted: "Hand over the food, but you won't die!"

Zhao Jiuxiao watched in the dark, knowing that the enemy had fallen for the trap, he immediately ordered his cavalry to surround the entire village.

The archer also followed Zhao Jiuxiao's order and began to release arrows.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Sharp arrows struck from the darkness, directly shooting off many black iron cavalry who had no time to defend.

Some people were pierced through the throat, and some were shot in the center of the mouth, and died.

They couldn't help but took a deep breath, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads: "No, we are surrounded by people."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the leading captain shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, follow me to break out of the encirclement."

But even though he said so, his body was trembling slightly.

He Zhengyang suddenly appeared, holding a long-handled battle ax in both hands: "You are here and you want to leave? Suffer death!"

Zhao Jiuxiao also ordered: "The whole army attacks, don't let anyone escape."

"Kill!" The Qingzhou cavalry charged forward together, attacking each other with the Xuantie cavalry.

Both sides continued to use shields to resist, and at the same time wielded weapons to chop.

Some people had their throats pierced with long swords, while others were seriously injured and fell off their horses to death.

He Zhengyang was even more brave, brandishing his battle axe, dashing from left to right, rounding his posture and striking hard.

As long as the person he hits, either the head falls to the ground, or the chest is split open and dripping with blood.

Zhao Jiuxiao didn't neglect either, and attacked.

[Bagua knife technique! 】He dismounted from the horse, performed lightness kung fu in the direction of the gossip, flew in the air, drew his knife out of its sheath, and slashed along the way.

The black iron cavalry wanted to defend with shields, but Zhao Jiuxiao easily circled behind him and slashed obliquely with his backhand.

The sword flashed, and they were chopped off one after another, and their heads fell to the ground.

Blood spattered out, forming a blood mist all over the sky.

Seeing this, the rest of the cavalry rushed over one after another, swung their long swords, and stabbed Zhao Jiuxiao's chest and back.

But Zhao Jiuxiao still used the gossip's position to wander and dodge, and at the same time brandished a long knife to defend.

"Dang, clang, clang!" The opponent's long sword was blocked by him, without hurting him at all.

Zhao Jiuxiao saw the right moment and swung his saber to sweep across.

The blade flashed, and the nearby black iron cavalry was directly disembowelled and fell off the horse.

Zhao Jiuxiao also continued to attack unabated, and continued to slash with his knife.

Archers in the distance are still shooting sharp arrows.

After the battle between the two armies, the black iron cavalry was still unable to break through, and suffered heavy casualties, even the captain died under Zhao Jiuxiao's sword.

Coupled with the high morale of the Qingzhou cavalry, all the Xuantie cavalry were eventually wiped out.

The system prompts: "Successfully complete the general's task and obtain the inner strength [Xiaoyao Xinfa]. This set of mental methods is not only profound in inner strength, but also very helpful for lightness skills and dodging, and can make the practitioner's body lighter."

The related inner strength mentality entered Zhao Jiuxiao's mind.

His dantian also surged with internal force, like a long river, flowing freely, swimming in the meridians.

Zhao Jiuxiao also secretly mobilized his internal energy to make his true energy more abundant, gathering more and more in his dantian.

Compared with the previous [Bibo Mind Method], his internal strength has doubled, and his skills are also faster.

After a while, Zhao Jiuxiao finished his exercise and completely relaxed.

He Zhengyang also said at this time: "General Zhao, our army has won a complete victory."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded and ordered: "Okay, burn the bodies of these people and go back to Qingzhou City."

He Zhengyang immediately cupped his hands: "Yes, General Zhao!"
