Yin Xiu stood up and looked to the sky. At this time, the white clouds were thick, hiding the sun behind, leaving only wisps of light to prove that it was still hanging high in the sky.
The weather was sunny, but Ye Tianpei, the commander-in-chief of Gyeonggi Province, only felt cold all over.
"I have never heard of the tactic called barricade you mentioned, but just by imagining it, I have noticed its dangers."
Ye Tianpei stared at Yin Xiu closely, "You didn't even give the soldiers a chance to escape.
Once we, as you said, give up fighting the foreigners on the plains and instead shrink our troops and enter the city of Jinmen, the foreigners will seize the outer perimeter of Jinmen and move forward unimpeded.
However, it is impossible for the foreigners to leave such a large army alone and go straight to Yujing. In that case, their backside will be completely exposed to our eyes, which is what the Eight-Nation Allied Forces do not want to see.
Therefore, they will enter the city and fight with us for every street and every archway. You will put the soldiers in hell and the people of Jinmen will be involved. ”
"Should we start a war on the plains, and after the defeat, deserters and foreigners enter Tianjin, and the people will be safe? They will not be disturbed."
Yin Xiu retorted: "This is the only chance to prevent these soldiers from having their courage destroyed by artillery fire and fleeing before they reach the enemy.
And I don't require those soldiers not to run away. I only want them to fire three shots. That's enough. I'll block them at all levels and trade lives for lives.
As for the people, I have already sent people to persuade them to leave. ”
"Some people won't leave."
Ye Tianpei said solemnly: "Although I am not from Jinmen, I know that people in Jinmen regard leaving Jinmen as breaking their roots."
"If they don't leave, they will have no choice but to hide at home or pick up the guy and join us."
Yin Xiu showed a cold-bloodedness that surprised Ye Tianpei, "Rather than letting the soldiers be forced to become rebels, bandits, and breed chaos due to defeat, it is better to let them leave a reputation here."
< br>
"You are a terrible person."
Ye Tianpei glared at Yin Xiu, "But the people fighting for the world are all similar to you."
Yin Xiu had no intention of explaining to him that he had no interest in the world. He just asked: "Master General, will you execute my plan?"
Ye Tianpei looked dark and solemn, looking at the drawings on the table, "I have to think about it."
"Time is running out, just think about it. However, because time is tight, we will continue to build the barricades."
"Huh?"
Ye Tianpei looked at him and said, "Even Jinmen Futai agreed to your plan?"
"He ran away."
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "When he knew that foreigners were coming to Jinmen, he didn't even want his black gauze hat and ran away with his family. Mr. General, didn't you know?"
"Ashamed."
Ye Tianpei was a little embarrassed, "I came in a hurry and didn't communicate with the government."
In fact, what he really wants to say is that Jinmen Futai is another adult's faction, and he, the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Province, cannot command it.
Yin Xiudang didn't seem to see his embarrassment and just said: "Even if he is still there, it is of no use. It is best if he leaves. Sir General, the survival of Jinmen now depends on your hands alone."< br>
These words did not inspire Ye Tianpei, but instead cast a layer of gloom in his heart.
Yin Xiu took the wine bottle back, got up and left.
"Where are you going?" Ye Tianpei suddenly asked.
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "Since the Commander-in-Chief no longer intends to keep me, I will make other preparations. I think you also need some time to think."
"Are you going to deal with that foreign advance team?"
"Just take it as such."
Yin Xiu didn't stay, and made a leaving gesture to Ren Qi, "If you come to your house as a guest without saying hello, you will be regarded as a thief, and I have never had a good impression of thieves."
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Tianpei again, "General, I hope you make a decision as soon as possible, because this will determine the life and death of many people."
"I have to think it over carefully." Ye Tianpei was still hesitating.
"I know."
Yin Xiu no longer cared about Ye Tianpei's thoughts and walked straight out the door.
When they arrived outside, on the street where there were no more pedestrians, Ren Qi came closer.
"He sent people to follow us."
"It's normal."
Yin Xiu nodded, "This is what he thinks is safe, isn't it? If we don't let him pinch anything, he will doubt us."
Ren Qi said dissatisfied: "That guy is really a troublesome person and stupid as hell. This is probably the reason why he has been wallowing in the frontier before and has not been transferred back."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "There is no way. You know it is always difficult to meet the right person at the right time in this world. Otherwise, it would not be called an eternal legend."
Yin Xiu's words reminded Ren Qi of what happened last night, and he couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Not realizing that there was something wrong with taking on the role of Ren Qi, Yin Xiu asked him again: "Should we go together, or should I go by myself?"
Ren Qi felt depressed at this time, and couldn't help but have more murderous intent in his eyes, "Can you do it without me?"
"That's definitely not possible."
Yin Xiu was startled by Ren Qi's inexplicable murderous aura. He just wanted Ren Qi not to turn his anger on him, so he said hello and asked a passing subordinate for two fast horses, and immediately went out with Ren Qi. Go to the city.
At this time, not many people left the city to the south, and the north of Jinmen was very lively. There were civilians fleeing from the city, and there were also soldiers who came to defend Jinmen when called upon.
It is said that some people heard that Ren Qi was here and came here specifically to seek revenge, causing a strange scene to appear at the gate of the city.
That is, people leaving the city are dejected, walking in a hurry, and there is fear on their faces.
But the people who entered the city held their heads high and their chests erect, treating this as a very glorious thing and looking forward to death.
At the gate of the North City, those responsible for welcoming the martial arts people were Chen Tianyou, Shi Tiebing, and Nie Huo.
In all affairs in the arena, it is always necessary to cheer each other up and carry each other's sedan chairs.
The excitement is all in the North City, and all the people going out in the South City at this time are fast horses. They are spies sent by various forces, just to explore the intelligence of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
Many people have recognized Yin Xiu and saluted him from a distance. Even those who did not recognize him still paid him attention.
"You are now a big shot in Tianjin."
Ren Qi kicked the horse's belly again, "Jinmen people love to be serious. They only rely on chivalry to do anything. Even if you don't deal with it, as long as you have the ability and the things you do are admirable, they will also be sincere." I really want to call you "Master"
"It doesn't matter to me."
Yin Xiu held the reins with one hand and relaxed his other hand, hanging on the side of the horse, letting the horse rock him.
"I just hope that we can try to bring all walks of life into unity. This is the best."
"It will be fine."
Ren Qi snorted coldly: "As long as no one from the imperial court is involved, there will be no internal fighting, mutual framing, or betrayal."
"But most of these people have not seen the horror of foreigners."
As Yin Xiu rode, he passed by people who had returned to the city and nodded in greeting.
"The battlefield is like a dentist's bed. Everyone says they are a hero before they lie down on it. You must have thought it was easy before you killed someone for the first time, right?"
Ren Qi glanced at him disdainfully, "What's so difficult? Do you think my legs will be weak and my hands will be shaking when I kill someone for the first time?" Yin Xiu gave him a thumbs up, "You were born to do this."
"Why are you scolding people?"
Ren Qi coldly snorted: "The first time I killed someone, the man's intestines flowed all over the floor with one stab. I stirred him again, and his nose dripped onto the ground mixed with bile."
"Hey," Yin Xiu felt a little nauseous, "What happens next?"
"Then I threw up all over the floor too."
"Eh..."
Yin Xiu felt even more disgusting now.
The two of them continued to ride their horses forward. When passing by a forest, a group of riders, five or six in number, came running towards them.
The horse stood straight forward, and the rider above him sat straight as well.
Ren Qi noticed something was wrong when he was far away and couldn't help but frown.
When he got close, he swung the rope from his horse, flicked his wrist, and swung in front of the team of horses to scare the horses to stop.
As the horse stopped suddenly, half of the riders fell off their horses and fell straight to the ground.
Ren Qi and Yin Xiu jumped off their horses and looked at the bodies that had been dead for a long time.
There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, but their faces were green and even frighteningly white. It was obvious that they had lost all the blood in their bodies, and they were pinned to the horses in some way, and asked the horses to carry them back.
"It's all done."
"Yeah."
Yin Xiu nodded, "It should have been done by the advance team to give us a warning."
"Warning?"
Ren Qi sneered, "I think they are just looking for death."
"It's all the same."
Yin Xiu had already jumped on the horse and looked forward, "Since they are willing to expose their whereabouts by themselves, there is no need for us to look for them ourselves."
He rubbed the small amount of blood on his fingers. Although the blood was cold, it was enough to provide Yin Xiu with enough information to find the last location of the advance team through [Bloody Memories].
There were even a few vampires among the advance team.
“Interesting!”
Yin Xiu kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse ran forward quickly. Ren Qiyi followed closely behind without saying a word.
The two of them ran forward for a while and plunged into a dark forest.
It was here that a certain chilling and cold atmosphere began to appear in the forest.
This was hidden in various parts of the woods, and the advance party was deeply hostile to them.
Before they could stop their horses, projectiles were fired from all directions.
Thunderous explosions echoed through the woods, filling the air with smoke.
In the thick smoke, a vampire cut off his cloak, revealing a pale face, red eyes, and a pair of sharp teeth.
He opened his eyes wide, searching for traces of the two of them.
However, there was no need for him to search. Yin Xiu quickly came to him and met his eyes.
Before he could warn his companions to be careful in the future, there was a sound of flesh and bones being cut off behind the vampire, and then people fell down one after another.
If this vampire could speak Chinese, he would have shouted something that would make him sad.
However, he didn't know how to do it, so he could only open his mouth wide and shout, or rather groan. After that, Yin Xiu pushed him to the tree with one hand, and his teeth shattered and flew.
"Which family are you from?" Yin Xiu asked.
The vampire's face was full of fear, but he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He quickly said vaguely: "Dracula, I am Baron Mark von Dracula Williams, how do you do?"
"Not very good."
Yin Xiu grabbed the vampire, ignited flames in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, the vampire was covered in flames, ignoring his struggle to dance in the air, and turned him into ashes alive.
Seeing this, the other vampire did not go to rescue his companion. Instead, he rushed behind Yin Xiu and captured his heart.
Yin Xiu stood still, but the vampire's vision was blurred and he missed him. He smashed the small tree on the other side to pieces.
Not good!
Although he didn't know the reason, he felt how powerful Yin Xiu was, so he turned around and ran away.
Yin Xiu looked over there, staring at the fleeing vampire.
Beast way!
The vampire's body jumped towards the branch, twisted and deformed in mid-air, and soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared here before.
On the other side, Ren Qi raised his knife and cut down all the other people in the blink of an eye.
"Here, I leave it for you."
Ren Qi pointed at one of the still struggling figures.
That was also one of the vampires. His hands and feet were chopped off by Ren Qi. At this time, he was on the ground at a loss, with eyes full of fear.
"Eleven, twelve..."
Yin Xiu counted the targets, and finally pointed at the vampire on the ground, smiling: "The thirteenth, you are the thirteenth."
"What thirteenth?"
The vampire didn't know why, but he felt that something terrible was about to happen to him.
"I mean, you will be the thirteenth vampire I kill. Although not the most important one, you are the one who completes the puzzle."
Yin Xiu slowly approached him.
"What on earth are you talking about!?"
The vampire roared and blood spurted out of his mouth. He didn't know whether he was injured somewhere by Ren Qi, or whether he was too excited and tore the wound.
Seeing the vampire looking at him, as if he was going to die, Ren Qi also shook his head, "I don't know what will happen, I don't know what is going on. However, I know very well that you are going to die soon. This is Things that are certain.”
"Why is it so clear?"
Yin Xiu looked at the vampire, "It's all the same. Anyway, you won't ask why before you kill others and suck their blood, right?"
The vampire didn't know that the thirteenth number Yin Xiu mentioned was exactly the number in the milestone.
After going through countless battles that can be described as long and tortuous, this poor vampire became the count that completed Yin Xiu's milestone.
Yin Xiu grabbed and twisted her hands, and the vampire's head and body were separated.
At the same time, a voice sounded in his head.
[Milestone reached: elimination of vampires (13/13)] (End of this chapter)
