War horses are extremely expensive in this era, and they are the hearts and minds of the united soldiers, and their emotions were originally restless, and they immediately erupted under the aggressive provocation of the rebel leader.

"Whoever dares to snatch a horse depends on whether the knife in our hands agrees!"

The leader of the rebel army was a Han man, he didn't go to provoke the remnants of the Hu people in the same Luo department, and selected these sheep who looked fat and weak, so he naturally didn't take them seriously, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so tough.

In the Northland, these people are arrogant and rebellious, how can they endure being confronted by the remnants of their own house.

"The remnants of these 'squirting women' are openly making trouble, and they will all be given to me, and whoever resists will cut off their heads!"

The leader of the rebels shouted, and the Han soldiers behind him rushed forward with red eyes, rushing at the hundreds of fine war horses that could not be left behind.

Zheng Xianli advocated calming things down, and quickly persuaded Qin Jin to stop the provocative actions of his subordinates, and it was a big deal to divide half of their horses first, otherwise the matter would be big, and if the impersonated identity was revealed, he would fall into even greater trouble.

"Shaofujun hurry up and persuade them, they must not fight!"

But Qin Jin's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he shouted: "Raise the crossbow!"

At this moment, the effect of the prohibition of the united army order was immediately revealed, and everyone took out their crossbows from behind their saddles and held them flat on their chests, pointing directly at the rebels who were leaping and intent to rush over to take their horses.

The rebels were also the Tang Army before, and the army was also equipped with a lot of crossbows, and they knew the power of the crossbows very well, and their movements were suddenly blocked under fear.

There were no light cavalry crossbows used by cavalry in Xin'an City, so when he set off, Qin Jin could only order each of the united soldiers under his command to bring a crossbow, and the crossbow arrows could be used as a round of long-range strikes at critical moments.

The two thoughts of submission and resistance only turned around in Qin Jin's mind, and he categorically chose the latter. If Cui Qianyou really wants to requisition war horses or remnant soldiers, there will inevitably be warrants or arrows, and at this time, the war horses are snatched away with just an empty white tooth, and it is obvious that these rebels are pulling the banner as tiger skins.

"Anyone who dares to approach the first ten steps will be shot!"

The Fan Han soldiers behind the rebel leader were all foot soldiers, and after seeing the other party raise a crossbow, he hesitated for a while, but when he saw that the other party did not get on his horse and could not form a cavalry formation, he immediately stopped hesitating, "It's all for Lao Tzu, are you afraid?" The remnants of the 'Lady Child' are bluffing, those who make trouble die, and those who lay down their arms live!"

Ten paces were in the blink of an eye, and the tremor of the crossbow string, the sound of the short-tailed feathered arrows breaking through the air suddenly rang out, followed by one terrible scream after another.

Seeing the conflict, Zheng Xianli immediately decided, "Modao is in hand!" The remaining twenty or so Anxi veterans under his command are all strong pawns for the rest of their lives, galloping like the wind on their horses, and dismounting Modao makes the enemy frightened.

Despite being trapped in the enemy camp, the old army of Anxi has always been calm, and after receiving the order, he rushed out with a sword in his hand while the united soldiers pulled their bows and arrows. The rebels who intended to seize the horses never expected that the remnants of these "widows" would really have the courage to do it, but after a round of crossbow arrows, half of them were killed, and fifty or sixty people were left with twenty or thirty people in the blink of an eye.

Before these people could recover from the shock of the power of the crossbow arrows, they saw more than 20 Mo swordsmen killed, and their morale immediately plummeted and dispersed. At such a moment, only a fool will resist.

The leader of the rebel army didn't think that he would kick him to the stone, and it was nothing if he didn't get the horse, but he was defeated by the remnants of the "Lady of the Woman", telling him how to raise his head and behave in the army in the future.

"Blow the horn, blow the horn, the remnants of the army are in chaos!"

The horns whined, turned high-pitched, and pierced the sky on both sides of the Honglu River.

……

The drums of war outside the city had been rumbling for an hour, and the army was overwhelming, gradually pounding the rammed earth walls, and the resistance on the city looked weak and messy in comparison. The weakness of the Tang army was not the same in the city of Yuzhou, and the rebels who besieged the city were accustomed to it after more than a month of fighting.

"Report! The remnants of the soldiers on both sides of the Honglu River are in rebellion, killing hundreds of soldiers!"

Cui Qianyou's face was calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

"Is Li Wanzhong a-eater? Thousands of people also came to Cui Mou's ear to make noise! Tell him that if he can't put up a chaotic army, he should go to a certain banner to explain!"

The soldiers took the order and left, and Cui Qianyou's eyes were once again projected on the city of Yuzhou.

The Tang army that had just driven away the people caught nearby and attacked the city, and the Tang army that resisted in the city was really soft, and they did not dare to easily deal with crossbow arrows and rolling stones.

A moment later, another soldier reported.

"Report! The city of Yuzhou sent people to negotiate. ”

Cui Qianyou's face turned gloomy, "I cut down the person and stood on the flagpole." Tell the Tang army defending the city to surrender the city immediately, otherwise once the city is broken, it will be inevitable to slaughter the city. ”

Then, he sat firmly under the banner of Xu, and did not seem to be in a hurry to take the county governance of Hongnong County, Yuzhou City.

……

Qin Jin's move of shooting Cui Qianyoubu won a round of applause, "Good kill!" There was also a hint of Khitan dialect.

This is another group of remnants of Sun Xiaozhe's troops a hundred steps away from the Qin and Jin Departments, more than half of them are Khitans, after being collected by Cui Qianyou's department, they have been discriminated against and bullied.

With the horns whining, hundreds of Cui Qianyou's troops who stayed behind soon gathered, and their bows, arrows, and sabers shook people's hearts.

The power of the leading example was immeasurable, and about three or four hundred Khitans began to approach the Qin and Jin subordinates, trying to support them in dealing with the Tibetan troops of Cui Qianyou's troops.

"Shaofujun, the Khitans are approaching us!"

Qin Jin's spirit was highly nervous, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw that the bows and arrows of these people had already aimed at the soldiers of Cui Qianyou's army who had outflanked them. A rain of arrows shot out, immediately disrupting the rhythm of the opponent's advance. I can't imagine that the two sides who were fighting to the death a few days ago are now fighting side by side within the rebels, how absurd is this situation, but it really exists in front of us.

"Wave the flag, tell those Khitans, just let them block the flanks, and the miscellaneous pieces coming from the front will be handed over to us!"

Both sides used to be Tang Army, and the military orders and flags used the same regulations, and the Khitans naturally understood it.

"Huh?"

The flag bearer was stunned on the spot when he heard this.

"Why are you stunned, don't wave the flag yet!" Qin Jin urged loudly.

"Will the Khitans listen to us?" the flag bearer reacted.

"To listen or not to listen, try and you'll know!"

Seeing that the movement was getting bigger and bigger, the soldiers sent another seven or eight hundred people to suppress it. Qin Jin couldn't help sighing, the Fan army was also full of factions, and the dispute over horses immediately turned into a catastrophe.

But Qin Jin had no choice, the war horse was an indispensable tool for them, once they lost the war horse, even if they could intercept and kill the envoy who passed the decree, they could not advance and retreat quickly, and the trip would lose its meaning. At this point, there is no way to retreat, it is better to repel the soldiers in front of you, get on your horse and gallop away from Honglushui, and get rid of them from afar.

Cui Qianyou's cavalry were all arranged near the city of Yuzhou, and most of the people who stayed behind and stationed on both sides of the Honglu River were foot soldiers, and even if they could not win, there was great hope of retreating.

"The Khitans responded, obey the command," the flag bearer shouted in surprise.

Qin Jin secretly said that he was lucky, and he didn't expect that the person who was fighting side by side with him at this moment would be the Khitans from the An Lushan rebels.

Obviously, the soldiers of Cui Qianyou's army underestimated the remnants of Sun Xiaozhe's army who were divided on both sides of the Honglu River, and the Khitans were the best at riding and shooting, and the successive rain of arrows caused them to fall into chaos. Qin Jin's flank worries were immediately lifted.

Although the unity soldiers are not good at riding and shooting, their morale is high, and they have defeated tens of thousands of troops before, and their self-confidence is extremely inflated, but they are afraid that even if they are facing the personal guards under An Lushan at this moment, they will not frown. In addition, the crossbow in his hand is a heavy crossbow in the Tang army, which has great lethality, and can effectively shoot enemy soldiers within three or four hundred steps, and can break through the iron armor within one hundred steps.

"What should Shaofujun do with this guy?"

After repelling dozens of soldiers, Zheng Xianli did not chase after him, and immediately retreated with his subordinates, and captured the leader who intended to grab the horse, who was the one who single-handedly provoked the riot in front of him because of his greed.

"Slaughter him, to raise his voice!"

The ringleader's face turned pale with fright, but his mouth was also stiff, "If you dare to move a single hair of Lao Tzu, General Cui will not let go of your ......"

Qin Jin didn't talk to him at all, he pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and slashed it down, but when he heard a scream like killing a pig, a right hand was chopped off alive. Immediately after, a foul stench arose, and the leader was incontinent in horror and pain.

It wasn't that Qin Jin cut it crookedly, but he did it on purpose.

Killing this insignificant person will not help the situation, the other party will not fall into chaos because of the death of one more person, and the other side may not have a better chance of winning. And cutting off his right hand is completely different. As long as this guy survives, he will always be a cripple who has lost his right hand, and he will be despised and bullied by the world for eternity. This is an era of the jungle, and it is not uncommon for meat eaters to become preyed in the blink of an eye.

The leader of the rebel army, who had flaunted his might a moment ago, was now covered in blood, rolling in the snow in pain, howling miserably. No one paid attention to him, and no one took pity on him, and it was self-inflicted.

There were four or five hundred rebels rushing up head-on, Qin Jin gritted his teeth, now it was neither Xin'an, nor there was a city wall to rely on under his feet, what they could rely on was in addition to the morale of a battle, that is, the crossbow and horizontal knife in his hand.

"Crossbowman volley!"

Suddenly, the horse's hooves staggered. Qin Jin suddenly turned his head when he heard the sound, and his pupils suddenly contracted, but he saw that the remnants of the Tongluo tribe on the other side of the Honglu River were actually stepping on the ice, waving their sabers, and rushing over with shouts.
