For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The iron-clad horse thieves who were originally surging in the direction of Wang Chong and the others suddenly stopped, even if the fierce horse bandits looked at the Tang cavalry array in the distance, which was as neat as one in the distance, like making arms and fingers, and standing still, they were also afraid in their hearts and stopped moving.

This is true even for powerful horse bandits, not to mention other bandits.

Official roads, hillsides, woods, as far as the eye can see, there is a dead silence.

The strong smell of choking blood wafted violently in the air, and in this short contact, Wang Chong's side was once again unharmed, while the iron-clad horse bandit left more than sixty corpses on his side.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Although he had long known that the hundred brothers had died at the hands of Wang Chong, and he had long known that the strength of the official army was stronger than that of the horse bandits, all of this was not as good as the impact and shock caused by the brief charge of Wang Chong's forty Tang iron cavalry.

At this moment, every iron horse lined up on the official road is like a demon coming out of hell, giving people a terrible pressure that is invisible but like substance.

"Grunt!"

One of the thieves swallowed hard with his throat slid and swallowed hard, a pale face full of horror. The immovable Datang Iron Cavalry is far more shocking and fearful than rushing to kill.

After so many years on the road to the west, he never thought that in the midst of six or seven hundred bandits and horse bandits, he would actually be afraid of a team of only forty Datang iron horsemen!

"These guys...... It's too strong!"

The same thought crossed the minds of many people, and some of the bandits almost unanimously retreated in the crowd.

Having seen the power of the cavalry charge, they no longer believed that they could still be safe in the crowd.

"Great!"

"I can't believe that these guys are so powerful!"

"That kid, we're really underestimating him. No civilian-born person can have such military qualities. There is no civilian-born man who can bring out this kind of power to the iron horsemen of forty people. I looked away, he is definitely a son of a big family in Beijing, and he is also the most powerful military family!"

"Bai Huwu, Bai Siling is right! Who is this guy?"

......

On the hillside, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, and the remnants of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry were also shocked and speechless. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to believe that the iron cavalry just now was the same cavalry unit as them.

That kind of charge and combat power is amazing.

They actually relied on their own strength to disperse the attack of the iron-clad horse thief and disintegrate their offensive.

As a result, five or six hundred iron-clad horse thieves who were originally besieging them now had to focus on defending Wang Chong and Bai Siling on the official road on the east side.

It's just incredible.

And all of this was done under the command of Wang Chong. That kind of extreme calmness, rationality, and decisiveness were even more profound than the charge of forty iron horsemen that impressed Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu.

Before this, the two had always been sarcastic, sarcastic, and difficult about Wang Chong, thinking that he was just a lowly Kunwu training camp civilian.

But at this moment, where do the two dare to have a little bit of such thoughts.

No one can command a cavalry of forty people to have the same effect as just now, whether it is Long Wei or Shen Wei, there is no one.

That's not something that ordinary people can do.

The two of them now have a strong feeling in their hearts that Wang Chong is definitely a child of a certain family in the capital, and he is also an extremely powerful one.

But such a character, the two of them have never heard of it before.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

Under a red maple tree full of holes and arrows, Xu Qian muttered to himself. He now has a strong curiosity about Wang Chong's identity.

"Bastard!"

At this time, the most angry person is Li Tieyi, the leader of the iron-clad horse thieves on the boulder. Counting the dead horse bandits in front of him, a total of three waves of contact, Wang Chong's forty people have already killed nearly 200 bandits and horse bandits under him.

This kind of loss can be regarded as a heavy blow!

Although most of the dead were bandits who took refuge, this could not soothe the anger in Li Tieyi's heart.

"Zhou An, how long is it left?"

Li Tieyi looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

"It's going to take a while. ”

Zhou An said in a deep voice, he was also very uncomfortable in his heart, to some extent, this was actually his dereliction of duty:

"Rest assured, Chief, when the arrangements are complete, they will have no way to escape. When the time comes, the leader will be able to do whatever he wants. But before that, please wait a moment. ”

"Hmph, I'll listen to you for a while!"

Li Tie's sleeves shook and he endured it again. He has always had great trust in the military advisors beside him. But this time it was really too much of a loss.

Even if he wins in this way, it will damage his prestige in the future.

A light breeze blows, and the surroundings are quiet.

The official road, the hillside, and the corner on the east side, the three sides looked at each other from afar, and all of them were quiet, and there was not even a sound to speak.

Unconsciously, the focus of the iron-clad horse thief's defense had shifted from Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu on the hillside to Wang Chong and them.

Even the True Martial Arts Realm masters around Li Tieyi were all sent to the left side of the official road. Having lost nearly 200 of his subordinates in a row, Li Tieyi could no longer bear more losses.

And after nearly eighty percent of the attack was transferred to Wang Chong and them, the remaining forces could not attack Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu wholeheartedly.

The tripartite forces were thus in a stalemate.

"Goo!"

I don't know how long it took, the mutation protruded, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a white shadow faintly appeared in the sky, and a white dove waved its wings and suddenly descended from the sky.

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

Collapse!

The bowstring shook, and before the pigeon could fall, an iron arrow shuttled in, and with a single arrow, blood splattered and shot through the pigeon's body.

And looking along the iron arrow, on the hillside, the leader of an iron-clad horse thief was slowly retracting his bow.

"It's a carrier pigeon of the imperial court!"

It was too late, it was fast, and when he saw a circle of golden hoops on the pigeon's right leg, Captain Zhang Gong's expression was tight, and the horsewhip shook, and he jumped up in the air, and before the pigeon was carried away by the power of the arrow, a whip rolled up the corpse of the carrier pigeon in the air and drew it back.

The purpose of the iron-clad horse thief was only to prevent the transmission of the news to everyone, and when he saw that the carrier pigeon was dead, he did not make any other moves.

"How's Captain Zhang?"

"Did you say anything on the carrier pigeon?"

Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu's expressions tightened, and they all looked over. Even Wang Chong and Bai Siling in the distance also looked over.

In so many days, this is the first time that everyone has received a carrier pigeon from the imperial court.

Zhang Gong didn't speak, and the carrier pigeons took off a gold-painted bamboo tube on their legs, carefully pulled out a paper roll from it, opened it, flattened it, and looked at it carefully.

"I've received a second-order mission from the Imperial Court!"

After reading the content on the note, Zhang Gong's face not only did not show the slightest joy, but showed a wry smile.

"Huh?!"

Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were both stunned. Received the second phase of the imperial court task at this time?

"Captain Zhang, what kind of task is it?"

Xu Qian propped up his body and walked over and asked. For some reason, he always felt that Zhang Gong's expression was a little strange.

"See for yourselves. ”

Zhang Gong didn't say much, and handed over the letter paper in his hand. Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu took a look at it, and their expressions became strange.

There wasn't much on the letterhead, just a few simple sentences:

"The second stage of the mission: Now Tez orders the sixth echelon of eighty people to exterminate the iron-clad horse thief Li Tieyi and his followers!"

"What's the joke?"

Huang Yongtu looked indignant, and threw the letter paper in his hand on the ground as if venting:

"At this time, we were given the task of the second phase? Do you think we didn't die fast enough? Moreover, look outside, there are overwhelming horse bandits and bandits, I'm afraid there are not seven or eight hundred people, is this something that we can deal with? Not to mention that there is a Li Tieyi, even Captain Li, you are not his opponent. ”

"What a bastard mission this is!"

"Huang Yongtu, you're crazy! Pay attention to your words, are you trying to hide the imperial court now?"

Xu Qian warned in a deep voice.

"Damn, I'm going to die, I still care about this!"

Huang Yongtu said hatefully, his expression hideous and distorted.

No one knows how long they will be able to hold out, sitting in this small fortification on the hillside, it seems to be safe for the time being, but no one knows when they will be crushed and turned into powder.

The feeling of dying at any time, waiting for death, is even more terrible than real death!

"Calm down, sir. ”

Zhang Gong smiled bitterly:

"The imperial court has no idea where we are now, they just issue orders, they don't know where we are now, and they don't know that we are now besieged by iron-clad horse thieves. Moreover, the capital is far away from here, and even the imperial court cannot know that the iron-clad horse thieves have actually gathered six or seven hundred bandits. ”

Bang!

Huang Yongtu slammed his fist into the trunk of the tree next to him, and the sawdust flew all over the place, and even his fingers burst out bloody. Although he knew that what Zhang Gong said was likely to be the truth, this did not make Huang Yongtu feel good in the slightest.

"The best news for us so far is that there are two other adults who are not yet in trouble. Moreover, the other adult seems to be very proficient in the art of war, commanding in battle, and grasping the timing very well, which is our only hope. ”

Zhang Gong said, turning his head to look at Wang Chong and the others in the distance.

It has been a while since the eighty iron horsemen were handed over to him, but to be honest, the people have not changed, the horses have not changed, only the commander has changed, and the military appearance and majesty displayed by the forty iron horsemen are completely different from those in his hands.

Even combat effectiveness is not at a level!

That's the difference a wise manager makes.

The duty of a warrior is to guard the frontier and die on the battlefield, but Zhang Gong does not care much about his own life.

He was very concerned about the young man now. With such military cultivation, if he is tempered on the territory of the empire in the future, he will inevitably be a general who rules one side and threatens one side.

Such characters are the most important thing.

If he can't escape the fate of death in the end, Zhang Gong hopes that the youngest adult can escape anyway!
