Chapter 117: Promoted to 1000-man Commander (1/2)
Shiqi immediately ordered to stop marching and prepare for the battle Upon receiving the warning from the sword.
In the battle yesterday, under Shiqi’s leadership, the two thousand city guards defeated he ultimately convinced the three thousand black blood kingdom army, a hearty victory, and the remaining soldiers. Everyone was willing to obey his order.
It was said that they were ready to fight. Half of the city guards at the rear of the team can rush to the team’s front. All the soldiers drew out their weapons, and the archers were ready to shoot arrows, and they moved swiftly.
The city guards had just made preparations for battle, and the vibrations under their feet became more and more apparent.
Now everyone was nervous again.
Although the City Guard defeated the Black Blood Kingdom army in the battle yesterday, it also lost half of its combat power. At present, they had barely more than a thousand soldiers.
Even if they had Shiqi charged forwards, their strengths were still much worse than that of the regular army of the Black Blood Kingdom.
“Calm down, everybody, calm down!” Shiqi did not ride a horse this time. He stood in front of the battle and laughed loudly. “If it is really an enemy, just follow me.”
Soon, familiar flags appeared, and a group of foot soldiers wearing purple and black armor appeared in front of the city guards.
Xiao Qixiang was pleasantly surprised: “It’s the Bauhinia Legion! It’s our people! Not the enemy! Not an enemy! “
“Our people!”
“It’s our people!”
“……”
Seeing that it was the Bauhinia Legion, Shiqi was also relieved. It should be the people who sent the information from the carrier pigeons last night and the Bauhinia Legion sent to pick them up.
The Bauhinia Legion stopped 30 meters away from the city guards. A general wearing black and purple full-body armor and riding a horse came slowly: “Who is your commander?”
Xiao Qixiang was about to come forward when he just took two steps and found that almost all the soldiers looked at Shiqi.
He walked awkwardly to Shiqi and pushed him: “Go over!”
Shiqi nodded and did not refuse.
“Chen Pengfei, one of the 100-man commanders in Bauhinia City, has seen the general!”
“100-man commander?” The general of the Bauhinia Legion looked at Shiqi with some surprise and said, “The highest position here is 100-man commander?”
“It’s Xiao Qixiang, Commander Xiao!” Shiqi said truthfully.
Xiao Qixiang rushed forward and explained: “General, I am Xiao Qixiang, but Chen Pengfei is now the commander of the team!”
The middle-aged general asked in a low voice: “So, yesterday you encountered the army of the black blood kingdom, and the battle commander was Chen Pengfei!”
“Yes!” Xiao Qixiang had nothing to hide.
He told the truth about yesterday’s situation in the original, and the only artistic treatment was that he said that he had voluntarily handed over the command to Shiqi.
Shiqi nodded beside him, so he wouldn’t find himself uncomfortable.
Yesterday, one of them was suspected of seizing power, and the other was shirking responsibility. Strictly investigated, both of them had problems.
“Chen Pengfei, you are very good. You defeated the regular army of the black blood country with a group of untrained city guards and also beheaded two thousand, which is a great contribution!” The middle-aged general smiled at him and said, “Let your people follow us!”
That night, Shiqi and the army came to the front camp safely.
The frontline camp was tranquil, with almost no lights. In the darkness, Shiqi could see densely white tents extending to the sky.
“We will take the wounded and the food and grain. You will camp here. You must arrange them within half an hour. You are not allowed to make noise in the barracks after dark, and you are not allowed to walk around at will. Anyone who violates the order shall be beheaded!” the middle-aged general whispered, ” Someone will come to receive you tomorrow!”
“Understood!” Shiqi replied, more than one thousand city guards quickly set up camp to rest.
After successive battles and journeys, they were already exhausted. After entering the tent, they also followed the military orders and did not even dare to speak loudly.
The city guards of Bauhinia City were very aware of the consequences of violating the Bauhinia Legion’s military order. Some people quickly fell asleep. Shiqi, in the small independent tent, could hear the snoring from the tent next door.
He was lying in the tent and couldn’t sleep. After spending so much time, he finally reached the front line, feeling excited and uneasy. He closed his eyes tightly, but Lan Yanlin’s shadow appeared in his mind.
